Likely they are attending Islamic sensitivity training classes organized by CAIR

What's the number of this column doing the threats? Getting tough to keep all these columns straight.

Can we expect an unequivocal statement from CAIR denouncing these threats on Hirsi's life?

Okay...I'll step up. I'll protect her.

Does anybody have a copy of "The Bodyguard"? I might need some pointers.

Seriously, I would help her out. I think there are a lot of NRA'ers who would.

As in the Netherlands, the threats against her come from Muslims extremists.

Fixed that. Because I'm sure she's not getting threats from Amish extremists, now is she?

She keeps good enemies.

ugh.

That thought is nauseating because of it's plausiblity.

May God give me the strength to be as dangerous to Islam as this brave woman is.

No extremist cowards, you do not get to decide who will speak and be heard. That 7th Century debating tactic of murdering your opponents will not be tolerated here.

Sorry for the OT, but FOXNews had a blurb saying that there was a bomb threat phoned in at the UN building. Haven't seen anything on the news sites yet. Update when possible.

The Religion of Peaceful Death Threats strikes again.

The bellylaugh of the week came from a story in Der Spiegel which said The German government and NATO's North Atlantic Council have criticized US General Dan McNeill, the new NATO commander in Afghanistan. McNeill has been operating too independently and has been too brash in his choice of words, critics say.

Note to Germany: If you don't want to join the A-Team you don't get to sit at the table with the adults. You sit at the children's table and eat children's portions. It's big boys' games and big boys' rules, so stop whining.

What are you? A troll? The FBI is the government. We are conservatives. Get the government out of my bed, er...my fantasy, er...my life. I said that I would protect her. I won't even ask to be decorated. No medals, please. That is just the sort of guy I am. I only think of how to help others. Especially tall thin modelesque women who are intelligent and articulate. Damn, I am sucker for that every time.

Amen, brother

No one who is displeasing to these islamists - and their list of offenses is very very long - is safe anywhere in the world.

This will be the case until islam goes the way of the religion of the Aztecs.

What more is there to say ?

If we want not to live in fear it is pretty clear what we have to do.

*Placing tongue in cheek*

Um...don't they mean "in restive Washington D.C.?"
(Ack. Am I the only one sick of that word, restive?)

Give her a gun permit and some target practice.

Use to be America, was the last great safe haven. Not anymore. Thanks CAIR.

Ayan can hardly be surprised by this, unfortunately. There is NO "safe" place for those who would challenge 'stan.

/Did you say somebody threatened to blow up the UN? How appalling - completely heartbreaking. What a good excuse for them to move. They would be much safer almsot anywhere else. Antarctica sounds good.

Former MP Ayaan Hirsi Ali is now in danger in the US as well. Her security has been stepped up for the past three weeks. Because of concrete threats, she is now receiving the same level of protection as she previously needed in the Netherlands

If she going to have to start sleeping in jail cells again?

And will the left be denouncing these threats to her life because she exercised free speech? I'm sure she's not surprised by this. She knows the dangers of openly criticising islam. She is brave, and if they do kill her woe upon them. For she will be a martyr and then her message will never die.

"Besides glowing reviews in The New York Times and other media, Hirsi Ali is also coming up against opposition because of her uncompromising criticism of Islam."

Anyone else see 'glowing reviews' in the NY Times? I saw the opposite - Ian Baruma trashed her book "Infidel" in the Times Book Review a few weeks ago (but maybe there were good reviews that I missed). Ayyan Hirsi is up against CAIR etc. as well as the American Left. She's in my prayers.

I really think this is another instance where the ROP wackos will find that Americans are a little different from our European cousins. We have guns here and have no problem with self-defense and the defense of the innocent. Just like what happened in Atlanta the week before last. When the soldier shot the Arab trying to rush his front door. A few more of these and they might do what burglers do...go find someone easier to pick on. Like the french (sic) and the Germans.

WTF once more

If these threats were made over the internet, it isn't going to be too difficult to find them. There is no anonymity on the web.

I think Joel has a legitimate question. Is the FBI investigating this? That is, after all, their job. Hopefully the people making these threats will be discovered, arrested, and prosecuted. It is what we pay taxes for.

Considering what it costs the American, British, Dutch and every public, everywhere, in security costs, against Islam and Moslems, isn't it about time we reversed the order of dhimmitude and levied a jizya on all Moslems residing in Western countries? Your ideology is a disgrace, so, pay the "shame tax."

So, why have we let these monsters into the U.S.? Is there some great benefit I don't know about? Do we need that many taxi drivers?

Another one who authentically speaks truth to power, i.e. the Imams.

Are the KOS kids claiming that it is really LGFer's posting these messages against Ali to make Muslims look bad?

For all you liberals wetting yourselves over the non threat posed by the insurgents I think you have your answer to what the Islamo fascist fear more then death or the US military. It is a strong minded, outspoken, opinionated women that is not afraid to face the truth and to speak the truth. If your greatest fear in life is some women talking bad about you then you definetly have some serious insecurity issues.

I would say yes, the FBI is looking into it. That is their job and they do it well.

As a regular lgf reader it is no surprise to me that she is threatened even within the U.S. as you guys obviously have your fair share of the followers of the true "faith".

I hope this will open a few more eyes in the U.S. to the true nature of this CultOfDeath (errr...R.O.P... I mean).

BTW... Are the U.S. MSM finally picking up about what's really going on in Iraq?

Exactly! And since cancer is in the discussions as of late, it is like a rule that anything that finds its way into the human body is absolutely protected and nourished. That is what we have allowed by viewing the Bill of Rights as an absolute...having forsaken the actual absolute of a moral code from God.

damn... guess that makes us the "good guys". But I've heard some say that the Bill of Rights is NOT a suicide pact--perhaps we'll have to make some changes, now that we're being confronted with pure evil

Of course the bad guys want to kill Ms. Hirsi Ali; she exposes the CAIR media terrorists and the machine gun terrorists for what they are and she exposes islam for what it is. In islam, the truth will make you dead.

As Ms. Hirsi Ali says...the West wants to believe that everyone is the same. The West wants to believe nobody would deliberately murder our children. The West wants to believe nobody would deliberately murder their own children. The West wants to believe that if we leave people alone they will leave us alone. Unfortunately it is just not so.

Ms. Hirsi Ali tells us that islam is incompatible with western democracy and the sooner we listen to her shorter and less painful the coming conflict will be.

Persistor 58

Unlike other countries, that can and eventually will be argued before the U.S. Supreme Court someday before the War on Terror is over.

This seems like a childlike faith in the magic of documents, and now in the magic of judges. If you have judges of the likes of Gingsberg hearing the arguments or perhaps the 9th circuit court of appeals, a much more likely scenario of acceptance of Sharia law exists than you can admit. And we are on a accelerating path to more liberal electoral victories and more liberal judges.

Documents ultimately mean NOTHING if the people have no character or courage. The documents descended from men of character and courage, not people suddenly being created from those documents.

So, how much longer do we have to wait before our government finally gets off their PC soapbox decides to do something about these P.O.S?

You know, the novel idea of protecting the US from is enemies instead of letting them in to operate on our soil?

I watch Bill Maher every week. It is sometimes painful, as he can get horribly, insanely left on some issues. I do like to know the latest leftist talking points though, and its an entertaining way to find them out. He occasionally has a competent voice of reason on his show as well. This week had David Frum on it, and he really laid into the proposed alternative energy legislation and people who tout the 'great big oil conspiracy'. No one there had any response to it except "Well if the President knew anything about science". Frum, of course, got the boos, and the idiot who made the President comment got applause.

I will give Bill Maher the credit that he does not put up with people boo'ing opposing viewpoints on the show. That's about all I give him credit for, however.

Exactly right!

Unlike Europe or Canada, we will never see so-called "hate speech" laws passed in this country that would be so restrictive as to make it impossible to her to publish (as what happened with Oriana Fallaci in Europe).

Because that pesky ol' Constitution and Bill of Rights just keeps getting in the way. It would have protected Oriana Fallaci too, had she been a naturalized American citizen residing in the States.

Iran’s terror navy A US sailor sends an email to HotAir,

I don’t think it was widely reported, but the last time The ‘Wood was in the NAG (North Arabian Gulf) (from roughly Oct ‘04 until Jan ‘05) the Brits had a standoff with the Iranians. It was early December ‘04 if i remember correctly when for a reason we could never ascertain, something like 5 or 6 merchant vessels ran aground trying to enter the Shat’ al Arab, which is roughly the dividing line between Iranian and Iraqi waters (depending upon who you ask, as you might imagine). A British Boarding Team boarded one of the aground vessels to try to figure out why so many vessels ran aground at the same time. While in the merchant vessel, small boats from the Iranian Republican Guard Corps Navy (IRGCN) surrounded the vessel and the British small boat standing by. The picture I believe is classified, but you can imagine the reaction of the guys in the RHIB when there were two IRGCN RHIBs within 20 feet, pointing AK-47’s and an RPG at them. Needless to say the RHIB backed off and returned to the ship. The Boarding Team hunkered down and the diplomacy started. It ended with the Boarding Team getting lifted off the merchant via helicopter, a needlessly dangerous operation, because the Iranians gave them permission to do so by air but only until sunset. After that all bets would be off.

Yes, I agree with both you and Joel. The FBI does need to look into this. And I am sure they are on the job.

You just have to understand. I have had a crush on her since the first time I saw her speak. What a woman. And I would actually be honored to help her, and any other refugees from Islam. But she is special to me. Whoaaa!

Do you notice what they left out in the article? What the threats are about.

If I read that anyone was threatened with death, my first thought would be, "My goodness, why?"

One would imagine a journalist, trained in who-what-when-where-why-and-how, would have mentioned what is the main question.

The closest it comes is saying the threats as

in connection with the lectures and media appearances Hirsi Ali has been making since the publication of the American version of her autobiography, "The Infidel," in January.

Vague, isn't it? In connection? Like maybe her lectures bounced an appearance of some boy band and tween-aged girls are going to kill her? Perhaps a competing publishing house whose book is tanking?

And of course, she has been under a death threat long before the publication in America of her book, or the lectures.

Just say it, she is under a death threat because she criticizes Islam.

Our Bill of Rights would protect Oriana Fallaci from laws and threats here in America, while she was living in America. But if she remained an Italian citizen, it wouldn't protect her from lawsuits issued by Italian courts. In which case she would be a "woman without a country"--she could never go back to Italy even for a visit.

That's why I said in such a case, she would be better off becoming a naturalized citizen.

It is not Maher's viewpoint that is an irratant to me so much, he is entitled to that viewpoint. It is using the cheers of his idiot drug-addled audiences to re-inforce his viewpoint, to dampen and castigate the usual one lone conservative he has on the panel.

Same crap with his totally oppositely named Politically Incorrect show. Few liberals can debate or present their view without an adoring brain-dead salivating audience. It is the viewpoint of cowards and follow the stupid unthinking herd...popularity and being liked is GOD to the progressive.

Roggio's daily report from Iraq, more good news you won't be reading anywhere else:

On March 21, U.S. troops from the 82nd Airborne Division captured the leader and the second in command of the deadly Adhamiyah cell, which is believed to be responsible for the murder of 900 Iraqis and the wounding of another 1,950. The cell is believed to be responsible for the majority of the major suicide and truck bombs inside Sadr City. Haytham Kazim Abdallah Al-Shimari, the 'emir' or leader of the cell, was captured with his driver after attempting to avoid a U.S. patrol. Haydar Rashid Nasir Al-Shammari Al-Jafar, Haytham's deputy, and two aides, were captured in a separate incident, also while traveling in Baghdad.

Hirsi Ali's autobiography was one of the most gripping, moving, harrowing, inspiring books I have ever read. It should be required reading for everyone who values freedom, and especially by those who take those freedoms for granted.

I'm going to go with cry of defiance and not of fear on this. Muslims should be made to pay the jizyah, and I say this because islam is not just a "religion" it is a form of government. Therefore, they should lose their tax-exempt status and pay taxes to the government upholding the Bill of Rights that protects their right to spew their vile hatred, to the government they wish to overthrow and replace with their own islamic government system- a system that will be sure to make you pay a jizyah. You can take that to the bank.

I would rather keep the Bill of Rights as it is, thank you very much.

This is one thing that separates conservatism from fascism (which is a radical political movement).

Conservatives honor America's traditions, legal and otherwise. To be consistent, we have to honor the original spirit of the Constitution (cf. Federalist Papers), even when we don't like it.

We conservatives didn't like it when liberals came up with a tortured logic to pull a constitutional right to abortion out of their butts.

And we don't want to start pulling new interpretations of the Bill of Rights out of our butts either.

Twisting the Constitution to support left-wing goals is socialism. Twisting the Constitution to support right-wing goals is fascism.

True conservatives are opposed to both.

The truth is, it's not safe anywhere from this cult. I'm talking worldwide here.

You see our founding documents as a final protection to tyrany almost as if they are invested with magic. I see them as so many words lawyers can use in any manner they desire, including bringing us all into bondage as is being done daily.

When will people understand words and papers mean NOTHING, if the spirit is perverted. Did we learn nothing from the life of Christ who came as the promise of all scripture and prophecy and was killed by the experts, the lawyers over all those writings? Fools will believe to the end that some magic will protect us Americans from darkness, when the truth is darkness is hunting us actively now, and instead of facing it and fighting from our guts...with our spirits, we stupidly retreat behind papers mumbling useless incantations. The Islamists have our number and use our superstitious beliefs against us.

Well, HuffPo may have turned off their comments on the Tony Snow thread to keep their ghouls from celebrating, but that sure has not stopped them. They just have used some of the other threads to pile on a cheer. Get a load of this one on their "eight self-inflicted wounds thread:

It is very much my business that Tony Snow is going to die of liver cancer soon. HE doesn't have to worry about going bankrupt or using his children's inheritence to pay for his treatment. HE HAS SOCIALIZED MEDICINE! And still, he will lie and obfuscate for his corporate masters.
No one should die of cancer, but it is ironic that the MSM shows such sympathy when the rich and powerful are diagnosed, but they don't give a damn about the poor. No, the reich-wing complains about Medi-Care!

Stay factually accurate. It was an aid to Sen Webb who was carrying the gun and ammo which did belong to Webb.

What I read yesterday, said that Webb, as well as all Senators and Representatives, can have a firearm, the aid did not have a carry conceal permit, which is why he was arrested.

So, why does Webb need heat in his handbag that the lackey was ferrying?

Controversial Documentary Debuts on PBS, Global TV

From Gemini Award-winning director Ian McLeod comes Faith Without Fear, a bold one-hour documentary special that follows controversial Canadian author, journalist and outspoken Muslim, Irshad Manji on a personal quest to reconcile her faith in Allah with her love of freedom.

Faith Without Fear premieres on PBS Stations, Thursday, April 19th - 9pm ET/PT and on Global Television, Saturday, April 21st - 8pm ET/PT.

Once described by The New York Times as “Osama bin Laden’s worst nightmare,” Manji, the best-selling author of The Trouble with Islam Today, traveled throughout Europe, the Middle East and North America speaking out against injustice and violence taking place under the banner of Islam.

Inspired by Islam’s holy book the Qur’an, Manji seeks answers from the Muslim community on how this religion of justice and freedom has become an ideology of fear, and challenges believers to standup for Islam’s fundamental principles as set out by Allah. She refers back to ijtihad, the ancient Muslim tradition of independent thinking, and encourages Muslims of the 21st century to embrace this practice.

Not a chance, it doesn't involve death.

I checked that story about the "yout's" rioting in the Paris subway... at the Gare de Nord station...which, I'm sure you're as surprised as I am, is the main link to the Arab banlieu in the Paris suburbs.

And speaking of pigs at the trough, John Conyers was here in Mermphis for a Town Hall meeting with Mermphis' newest congressman, Steve Cohen. Steve, who is white but who wants to be officially declared black by act of Congressional Black Caucus slobbered all over Conyers. Conyers spewed the usual Liberal pap and impeachment rhetoric. Someone should post a lowlights video clip.

Its my opinion that a majority of American school teachers are Woman, who have no idea how to deal with boys, so the schools force the parents to medicate them or remove them.

What the deuce is up with the Republican reference in that article? How does it help a reader to now a completely tangential fact... that the firm she works for is "closely related" to one party or another?

Webb is a Virginia resident, which means he could carry openly here in the state and /or have a CHP license. I wonder if he has a CHP license and was outed in the Roanoke Times like me. Friday night, 8pm, CNN, a segment on this situation here in Virginia with the Virginia Citizens Defense League and the newspaper that printed all 136k plus Virginians, names and addresses, that hold the license.

Regardless, I will never have any respect for this man, Jim (I want to punch the POTUS) Webb, after the incident at the White House reception, and he's my new senator. UGH!

#124 republic

Interesting. So 2nd amendment applies only to the governing class? Interesting.

Was that the magic word or something?

jehu: It is glaringly obvious that a written constitution cannot stop, for instance, a determined tyrant with ample armed force at his disposal. But it makes the rise of that tyrant less likely. As someone noted above, there is a reason that Falacci ultimately sought refuge here.

Someone once compared a constitution to a lock on your front door. Sure, it won't stop a professional, skilled burglar, but it will keep your neighbors from just strolling in and stealing your things when you're not home. And that's worth something.

Not entirely OT:

Today marks the fifth anniversary since McCain Feingold was passed. For those who think that just because laws were passed saying "Congress shall make no law...abridging the right to free speech" doesn't mean that Congress, President, and Supreme Court can't come along and completely redefine those terms to mean something quite less.

In the process, everyone lost a bit of free speech - the kind that matters most - political speech.

This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts - that you have clear and unambiguous language and yet folks find some way to completely reinterpret them to mean something completely different.

This threat has a lot more meaning, AFAIC. If we lose in Iraq, the same thing that is happening in Europe will start happening in the US. North America will become a haven for Islamo-fascism and there will be many more 9/11-type events. What happened to AHA in Holland will happen all over the world and no one will be safe, anywhere.

Also, jehu #122:

Can you imagine the decision last year that municipalities can seize private property now because one group can get more money off it via taxes?

Actually, the only thing the Constitution has to say on the subject is: " nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation." That's it. Maybe there SHOULD have been more in the Constitution on the subject, but the fact is, there isn't. (And by the way, I, too, think the facts behind Kelo are somewhat outrageous.)

Lets not forget medicating any boy who shows spunk with Ritilin and other mind warping drugs.

Agreed, although there are a lot of men who have been at the top of the list running those schools from day one. So I think this extends way deeper than women not understanding boys. It usually was my mom that held my dad's hand from spanking my brother because he was just busy as a boy.

I think it comes from a society that must control and protect the establishment and show it is working..after all, a kid that sits still, nods heads, doesn't question, and bubbles in the right circle on a test is what secures the paycheck. Before drugs, the ruler was used to crack knuckles if one slouched and whoa be to the kid who's dad gets told of any misbehaviour at school for fear of being taken behind the woodshed.

I seem to remember doing something very kid like..calling a boy queen of the idiots after he called me queen of the ants. After a spanking from school, I got a whipping at home..the other kid, got nothing. What a message that sent me..did my dad bother to ask the circumstances? No, he just went along with what he experienced when his teachers would tell his dad. I will never repeat that behaviour with my child(ren)..my dad was wrong and to this day, I do my best not to hold that one incident against him (he wasn't a beater but kids remember these things).

Germany is toast:

German native population shrinking ; Islamic influence rising

A human-rights activist dedicated to debunking the overpopulation myth says even the German government admits that a low birth rate and Islamic immigration may forever change the face of the German nation. The Germans, he says, have nobody to blame but themselves.

German journalist and university lecturer Udo Ulfkotte recently warned that Islam is slowly but surely taking a grip on the European culture. He said more and more institutions are making allowances for Muslims, and even Islamic « sharia » law is beginning to take hold because 40 percent of Germany’s Muslims are convinced the country’s constitution is incompatible with Islam.

Steve Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute, says while he mourns the loss of Christian Europe, he says the demographic changes there are the result of the fact that two generations ago, Europeans « lost their way. » He contends that their refusal to have children has paved the way for the eventual Islamic domination of the continent. And with a much higher birth rate among Muslims, it is easy how Islamic influence will continue to grow in Germany, he says.

« If one people has babies and the other doesn’t, the shift in population can occur in the blink of an eye, » he shares. « The loss of Christian Europe is not being caused by Muslims ; it’s being caused by the fact Europeans lost their way. »

And the aid stated Webb gave it to him. So Webb was carrying at that point.
CNN (yeah, I know. It is not a reliable news source)
stated it was illegal to pack in DC with a VA weapons permit. The DC royalty have one rule, the local serfs another? Any locals now the law?

Webb dodged the question on the legality of it, saying he choose to protect him and his family.
This I have no problem with, except they outlaw it for everyone else.

Some more true essence of what HuffPo is all about, with regard to Tony Snow:

Now tell me...

Who else do you know that feels compelled to look at you every time you ask a question and tell you that, since the whole world is watching, he'll gladly redtate what you really meant to ask in a manor not as embarrassing to the President.

This is one of those times (chicken little) No matter how much I try not to be cynical; to believe (maybe, not Bush) but at least the story about T Snow - I just can't.

Is it a political ploy? Is it a detractor to take our minds from Gonzo, Rove and GW himself; and the pressure that is working?..

I can't help but think that, even if it is true, they are glad he has a cancer to "relieve" them for a couple of days. To let them catch their breath.

"Statesmen by dear Sir, may plan and speculate for Liberty, but it is Religion and Morality alone, which can establish the Principles upon which Freedom can securely stand... John Adams (letter to Zabdiel Adams, 21 June 1776)

Someone upthread mentioned Ian Baruma's disgraceful review of "Infidel".

Pascal Bruckner nails his ass.

Buruma's portrait is of formidable ambiguity. It celebrates her courage so as better to deplore her blindness and fanaticism on the question of human rights, both of which led her astray in her struggle against religion. Under the guise of an objective reportage, Burma pronounces mezza voce a veritable condemnation. Moreover, supported by Timothy Garton Ash, Ian Buruma has come out in support of the highly controversial Tariq Ramadan, who in the New York Times of February 4, 2007 (online here at the International Herald Tribune) he casts as the sole serious dialogue partner of reformist Islam
[]
This is why I continue to prefer the position of Ayaan Hirsi Ali over that of Tariq Ramadan, even now that he has become a friend of tolerance and a prophet of anti-capitalism. In his laudatory portrait of Ramadan - that borders on hagiography despite minor reservations - Ian Buruma still manages to reveal some worrying traits in his new champion. I will refer to only one. While propagating the feminine sense of shame and recommending that Muslim women should abstain from shaking men's hands and using mixed swimming pools if they wish, Tariq Ramadan states that for his part, he does shake women's hands. Yes, you read it right: in 2007, a self-styled "progressive" Muslim preacher who has received the support of the entire French extreme Left for his anti-liberalism, pushes audaciousness to the point of admitting that he shakes women's hands. He should be named secretary of state for the condition of women!

In his response to my essay, Ian Buruma argues for Islamic hospitals on the grounds that there are Christian and Jewish hospitals. Similarly, he justifies beaches reserved for Muslim women with the existence of nudist beaches, passing the difference off as a matter of taste. Necla Kelek has rightly pointed out that Islamists aim to establish an out and out segregation of men and women right across society, in medical care, in leisure and education, and so to install a regime of voluntary apartheid within open societies. The problem with this defence of multiculturalism in the name of tolerance is clear: it leads to the end of the common world

107 persistor

That seems rather naive to me, and believing it could cause us to falsely think that we're safe.

If 1st world Christians, continue to have extremely low birth rates then we can and will be simply taken over in a couple of gen's by the vote afforded in our democracy. Whites especially in the US and Oz have very low rates. Japan has her own issues with low marriage and birth rates, and will become Korean/Phillipino if something doesn't change there.

Europe will fall the soonest as she brings in and/or allows to illegally immigrate millions of Muslims. They're already o'crowding Germany's nursing homes and schools. Statistically, others will follow suit; only the mixes will differ.

If we had a government that was truly concerned about Islamic hate elements within the USA, this would be seen as an unparalled opportunity to go after extremists. As it is, the Federal Bureau of Idiots no doubt considers this woman a bother.

She is an honored guest. We will protect her to the full extent of our capacities.

Law practitioners, legal minds, distant cousins, a question.

Is it possible to incorporate the tactics that are employed by the Kansas “church” that protest at warrior’s funerals in the fight to quell this intolerable attack on our life, liberty and free speech?

When they, who’s name can not be mentioned (turn, spit), go to high profile and highly emotional settings to taunt mourners, their biggest threat is launching multiple lawsuits if they perceive civil rights violations.

It is my understanding they not only go after the poor soul who may have been goaded into a threat, or even a push, but they also target the city and county authorities that allowed it to happen.

Can we learn from these tactics? Can we pressure authorities to take action against this group of life threatening cretins and their support groups who facilitate their hate? I know this task will be difficult, if not impossible, because they use the anonymous cloak of the coward when they threaten anyone. Try we must.

Is there anything to be done, legally yet effectively, to meet this latest threat head on and with great ferocity?

I am NOT glad that Tony Snow has cancer. Cancer is a horrible thing. My father is suffering through a terrible bout of cancer right now. I do not wish cancer on anyone. It is a tragic disease that no one should suffer from.

That being said, why I do have to pretend I care about Tony Snow? That I'm "praying" for him? That I send out my thoughts to his family?

I don't.

I don't care about Tony Snow. At all. And I'm not going to pretend I do just so I can prove a larger point to the wingnut base of racists and hate-mongers.

So no, I'm not going to pray for Tony Snow. I'm sorry to hear he has cancer, and that's about it. Other than that, I'm not going to give that lying scumbag another thought.

British Dhimmitude watch alert:
Kidnapping could be traced back to arrests by US forces, Richard Beeston

When US forces burst into a villa and arrested five Iranian men in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil this year, they may have set in motion a chain of events that led directly to the abduction of 15 British servicemen in the northern Gulf last week.

While the British and Iranian governments argue about whether the sailors and Marines were in Iraqi or Iranian waters at the time of their capture, privately there is acknowledgement that their fate is bound closely to that of the Iranian captives.

Yup, it's Bush's fault for getting tough with the Iranians. If only we left the Iranians alone, so they could freely carbomb Iraqis & US troops, this sort of thing would never happen.

The American public schools from top to bottom are today firmly in the hands of gender, ethnically, and ideologically correct dim bulb administrators that have been flowing out of academia since the late 1960s. These carefully picked to suit liberals have in turn have allowed the left's militant feninazis and their clueless mignions of political correctness to take over our traditionally female dominated teacher population and the educational bureaucracy into a virtually male free environment turning the school cirriculum into little more than politically correct indoctrination program and an unrelenting hostile exercise to psychologically castrate our boys.
As a result far to many of our boys by their early teenage years have rejected the school experience hence poisoning the minds of far to many young men to the idea of true educational excellence. Such a situation while satisfying the left's can bode nothing but ill for the future of our nation.
How can I say the above? For the forty years prior to my recent retirement I was a high school teacher and witnessed the transformation of what was once our nation's superlative public education system that in the late 19th and early 20th century took in Europe's largely illiterate castoffs and and turned the children of those immigrants into the builders of the richest, most inventive, and intellectually productive nation in the history of the world into a system which promotes and rewards only those who meet the correct gender and ethincity guidlines and who tow the leftist line of the dull-witted educrats and university professor experts flush with federal educational "reform" funds that turn out young people incapable of proficiently performing the most simple of educational tasks.

Which would mean... he's a dope. If you FORGET where you've left your loaded handgun and two loaded mags... I mean, sheesh.

Go read the Bill of Rights. It makes no exception for non-citizens.

I think you will find some argument on to whom those rights apply.

I'm sure you can find somebody who will argue about anything... but the to US Bill of Rights appliesall citizens, residents & visitors to the US.

Wait a sec. Webb is about to board a plane, realizes (whacks forehead) there's a gun he can't possibly get past security, passes the bag off to nearest staffer, nearest staffer passes it to Thompson who has no idea.

My big question: Why the fuck was it loaded? How responsible is that?

#48 abolitionist Thanks, that link is awesome.

There will be no mercy shown to the purveyors of injustice, only the sword will be lifted against them. No discussions, no demonstrations, no petitions: only DEATH will separate the Truth from the Lies.

To those who think iSlam can be reasoned with, the above quote was taken off the bloodied 5-page paper stuck to Van Gogh's chest with a knife.

Again - for us Infidels, no discussions, no demonstrations, no petitions, only DEATH. Not very encouraging.

#126 NJDhockeyfan: Good luck to that brave Moslem lady calling for the return of 'ijtihad' (questioning of islamic theology) but she will find that all four major schools of islamic teaching rejected ijtihad by the 11th century AD. Anyhow, ijtihad actually was meant to be practised by Moslem legal scholars in very precise, narrowly defined manners. And we all know what happens when you turn lawyers loose.

#65 _remembertonyc: On the subject of the bombing of Hiroshima and its symbolic import and impact upon the Japanese, there is also NIGHT OF THE NEW MOON by Laurens van der Post. (I haven't read it). van der Post was a prisoner of the Japanese and his book contends, as do many, that the Japs surrendered based upon the interpretation which they placed upon the bombing (the sun imagery); he firmly states apparently that they would have fought a land battle to the last man. I often think, when the subject of bombings of H and Nagasaki come up, of all those lives (possibly a million) that were saved by that bombing because they didn't have to engage in a land invasion of Japan.

I know there is a difference, but:

Modern liberals: oppress speech they don't agree with; resort to threats and violence (eco-terroists, etc.) when their emotions get riled up; worship paganistic gods (trees, animals, Goracle, public nudity, etc.) with absolute faith and total disregard for reality; prone to believe wild conspiracy theories; and hatred of Jews.

Islam: opress speech (including cartoons) they don't agree with; threaten and kill anyone that riles them up; and worship satanic prophet and god with absolute faith and total disregard for reality; prone to believe wild conspiracy theories; and hatred of Jews.

Oh, I know the difference . . . the Muslims will have no problem killing the Liberals.

I'm certainly no expert but some investigation showed a lot of differing opinions. Just one example.

I just assumed that if people were still arguing and complaining (I found a lot of complaining) it was not fixed.

Always look froward to you posts and links by the way.

"tm"= Terror Mark(tm)

Islam reminds me of the Mafia-- you can never get out alive, if any of the true adherents have anything to say about it. (that was mean to compare civilived people with barbarians-- my apologies to La Cosa Nostra)

Does CAIR care?

#105 dead sea squirrel

Isn't that why Charles lives under the Denver airport?

I'm sure CAIR will get right on defending her. Not.

With her clear and forthright speech and writings, Ayaan Hirsi Ali is an American treasure.

Her partner Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered in the Netherlands for daring to speak the truth about one of the problems in the Muslim world, the oppression of women, in the movie that Theo and Hirsi made: Submission. Ayaan Hirsi Ali should have the utmost protection. Especially after the threats to her.

Instead of cowtowing to CAIR, the FBI should be busy investigating those who may be threatening Ayaan Hirsi Ali.

It is excellent that she's being threatened -- means her publicity is stirring the pot, and now, hopefully, she and the book will get more publicity. Just stay safe, Ayaan.
Slightly OT: getting off my commuter train, see a cop with a big beautiful German shephed, in "down-stay", both watching the stream of humans (must be a special alert). Even I got a little more serious under the pooch's eye; I imagine someone with a culturally ingrained fear of dogs would hold back even more. A few of these around Hirsi Ali, I'd feel better.

I might understand her being unsafe in Europe but isn't America supposed to be a haven where no crap is taken?

To assist Ayan... buy her book. It is a good read.

I will start home schooling my high school aged son next year for that very reason.

Can you give a nervous novice some advice on the best approach for teaching a teenage male?

85 daughter of patriots said:

Who's not threatened in the US by Islamists when speaking truth to taqiyah?
How about the regular folk who write a letter to the editor about some local Muslim encroachment? Are they not to be wary and keep watch?

You are so right about that. I wrote a letter to our paper critical of Keith Ellison & his Koran, Islamists, CAIR, etc.. I explained what we all know about CAIR being a fifth column and masguerading as a "civil liberties organization" and my article has been posted on several websites and some of the comments scared my husband half-to-death and he doesn't want me writing any more letters. I will write them anyway, but I will ask them to use a pen name. Is is so bad in American that ALREADY we are too afraid to PRINT what we think in the paper for FEAR for our personal/family safety? The answer is YES.

#1 BabbaZee - congrats - you just did the seemingly impossible! Got me to listen to and LIKE rap music. Ha! Great song - who is it?

I'm not American, so I don't know if its possible, but isn't there some sort of medal that America could bestow on this woman?

The struggle against Islamofascism is not only a job for soldiers, torch-bearers like Ayaan Hirsi Ali are also needed.

It would be wondeful if the American people could campaign for her to receive some sort of award, to honour her courage. At the VERY LEAST, I'd like to see her given an honorary degree by one of your leading Universities.

LOL I felt the same way when I first heard that.

That is Stuck Mojo
