Germany's on a roll, although I know this will bring up freedom of speech issues.

About time!

But, then again, you can't yell "fire" in a theater. And channels like this may be instigating violence against Jews and others, and may actually be a danger to the German government.

Of course, this would never happen here, we have the ACLU to make sure of that.

Can the new channel Al-dolph-Manar be on the horizon?

Is the this the beginning of a turning tide?

re: #1 Walter L. Newton

Germany's on a roll

A kaiser roll?

Considering they jail people for Holocaust denial, it's about time!

re: #7 buzzsawmonkey

You cannot falsely yell fire in a crowded theater.

Nobody cares what you yell if the theater is empty. And if the theater is truly on fire, calling the crowd's attention to that fact is a lifesaving act.

Er, I think you know what I meant, but thanks for that clarification Smokey. :)

re: #6 victor_yugo

LOL! booo...;^D

Now on to the mosque-by-mosque searches.

The Associated Press’ description of the bloodthirsty antisemitic content of Al-Manar is typically weak.

Excuse me, Charles, but that is far from weak. Those are just the bare boned facts, and if I may say, facts are what they are. They are neither weak nor strong, just facts. The AP did it's job, I say.

/Cognito Lives!

This is a good first step. Took long enough though.

that organizations cannot operate with the purpose of violating “international understanding.”

The bad news is that this is so vague a criteria that they could turn around and use it against good people and causes.

Ayatollah Muhammad Hussein Fadhlallah should stay out of Europe.
"Germany's parliament passed legislation in 1985, making it a crime to deny the extermination of the Jews. In 1994, the law was tightened. Now, anyone who publicly endorses, denies or plays down the genocide against the Jews faces a maximum penalty of five years in jail and no less than the imposition of a fine."
[Link: www.dw-world.de...]

this is a giant step for Germany, taking a stand on the issue.
While official politics under Merkel is decidedly pro Israel, there are legions of moonbats in the population who believe that Israel is the oppressor in the region.

Another uplifting Friday sermon :(

"Among EU members, laws against denying the slaughter of six million Jews by the Nazis in World War II exist in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Spain."

I wonder what rage boy has to say about Germany upholding article 9 of its Constitution?

re: #17 buzzsawmonkey

Yeah, I knew what you meant, but the misquoting of that line has become almost as endemic as people thinking that "Wherefore art thou Romeo?" means "Where are you, Romeo?" rather than "Why are you Romeo?" [instead of being someone who it would be permissible for me to fall in love with]. Just doing my bit for linguistic comprehension.

re: #20 Daisy

I'm sure that when they said "staunchly anti-Israel " they really meant "bloodthirsty antisemitic content," it just lost something in the translation.

Just doing my bit for linguistic comprehension.

Oddly enough, Ebonics retains a variant of this old usage:

Romeo, Romeo, whuffo you Romeo?

Juliet:
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Romeo:
[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

Juliet:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand nor foot,
Nor arm nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
and for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

Does it get any better?

Ayatollah Muhammad Hussein Fadhlallah

Seems rather musical, Fadhlallah... I wonder if there is someone in the world named Doe Raimie.

re: #1 Walter L. Newton

After reading Thomas Sowell's Black Rednecks and White Liberals, I'm not suprised. What we call African-American culture is nothing more than the Borderer culture of the people who lived in the area between England and Scotland before the 1800s. It merely was transferred to Blacks.

I don't think so :) .. it's a different guy flat earth guy: the deceased Shaikh Abd-al-Aziz Ibn Abd-Allah Ibn Baaz

This is from an article called "A Muslim Genius"
[Link: www.islam-watch.org...]

"The most famous of his discovery is that which is stated in the book named, “Evidence that the Earth is Standing Still.” This scientific research work was published by Islamic University of Medina, Saudi Arabia, during 1974. On page 23 of this academic research work he talked about his brilliant discovery and cited many references from Koran and Ahadith. He confidently challenged the age-old belief of earth’s rotation and quoted as follows,

“If the earth is rotating as they claim, the countries, the mountains, the trees, the rivers, and the oceans will have no bottom and the people will see the eastern countries move to the west and the western countries move to the east."

Nutcases seldom do well in the spotlight, even on a stage built and maintained by a nutcase.

re: #70 buzzsawmonkey

Thanks for posting the quote.

Note how essentially American that passage is, for it suggests something that was, in Shakespeare's time, near social heresy; that one can remove from one's self the tyranny of a name, a background, an inheritance, and not be bound by it--but rather that one can choose to be who one will be, unshackled by the inheritance or the expectations of the past.

It was that belief which drove the colonists to make a new beginning, free of the past, on the shores of the New World. And, interestingly, it is entirely antithetical to the postmodern, politically-correct belief so in ascendance now, that one is bound forever upon the rock of the group identity to which one is assigned at birth.

That people wear that identity like a warm cloak is no real surprise, unfortunately. It beats thinking, and deflects all accountability.

yep it is,
and I appreciate the thoughts going into it from your side; but you have to understand, that Europe and in this case Germany doesn't work on the principles of free speech, like we do enjoy in this country. I believe that the US is the only country in the world which does allow it's citizens to say whatever they want. It's great, but it needs also a special cultural background, which Europeans at large do not have.
The rights of individuals are somewhat protected, but Europeans live largely by associations in society, may it be a party, social class, religion or profession, they somehow belong to a group. So, we shouldn't apply our standards there, it is a good thing, that the German Government tells it's citizens that it is not ok to spread hate through the airwaves.

Spencer is the run away winner for the "Best Infidel Blogger"

There you go.

Which means that they havwe given fully into the ideology of the jihadists, that of fascism. These fools think that you can fight fascism with fascism. When one wins though, all one is left with is a variant of fascism, not the freedom we so richly desire. And by allying with these fascists, all they do is give the socialist enablers more ammunition to claim the anti-jihad is a racist endeavor.

Spencer, Dymphna, Bodissey, I'm looking directly at you. You fools. You think that allying with these fascists is the right thing to do? Don't you remember what these folks' ideological ancestors did in Europe? You fools.

Charles, keep on doing the right thing and oppose this craziness. Regardless of what they may think of your work, we lizardoids believe you are on the correct path. Thank you.

That may just be the quote of the YEAR. Way to go Yooper! Other than the "correct path" bit and all.

re: #166 Walter L. Newton

Or it proves my point that they know what he was and that's what they wanted. All the liberals I spoke to (remember, I work in live theatre) knew just what Obama represented. These were generally smart people. They know the difference between capitalism and socialism, the picked socialism.

But these people today on Sean's phone calls didn't know:

* who the current Secretary of State is,
* what the current rate of unemployment is (to the nearest 10%),
* what the Dow Jones is (within the nearest thousand),
* or who the Big 3 are that are getting a handout.

One of the enlisted in my Reserve Unit works in the Movie industry. They don't necessarily know that and since they "assume" he is a "fellow traveler" he tells some great stories. We were out with Marines in the field one night. I didn't get any sleep I laughed so much.

re: #169 experiencedtraveller

I was actually being sarcastic. There was a time when just the mention of Terrorists would illicit a long thread of very passionate, and well informed posts. Many of which were very concerned about our future.

Now? Not so much.

I am not trying to comment on what LGF should allow, or be, but simply my inference from this that people just don't care anymore, or at least not as much as they used to. If you can't get people on LGF excited about Anti-Terrorism measures, then you can be sure that the rest of the Country/World are surely "past" that thing.

The scary part is that you can bet on the fact that the Enemy isn't tired of it.

No I started on my own. I was just about to go out to the Apple Store to buy a new Moniter and then my wife called and said she wants to go with me. I mean I love her but I hate shopping with her, especially for "toys". Some one just gave me a brand new G5 but I have to buy the moniter. So I might as well drink while I wait for her.

Our fellow citizens scored 48%.
The sampling of elected officials, however, was around 43%.

After a while the viewing with alarm gets somewhat repetitive. Maybe it shouldn't, but it does. And right now, we are in a sort of limbo, with the current administration dead in the water and the new one making appointments which, again, we can view with alarm or hope as we choose, but which will not reveal themselves by action for another two months at least.

Well maybe terrorists will become a hot topic again after Obama releases them and with sub prime rates still available out there, one moves in next to ya?

I actually don't think the NYT stock price matters as much as the millions of people who still read or hear theirs or AP's etc. message smeared all over the country/world.

I don't think that is it. I think the American public/World/West are actually "bored" of the W.O.T. Our attention span is too short for this type of War.

You've been around here, you know that this "boredom" is something that many here were warning would happen years ago. I am only pointing out that we are living in that time. We have become distracted by anything else, and are just "tired" of that whole War Against Islamists thing. This is exactly what has transpired in the past, and has allowed the Islamists to be so successful. They attack, we fight for a year or two, get bored, forget about them...they continue to march forward, make greater strides against us. Years go by. They attack again, we fight, get board...they sneak forward more...etc.

In my humble opinion, we can not make excuses for why we are ignoring the threat and are no longer concerned.

We got bored of a 7 year war, yet the enemy is fighting a hundreds, if not thousands year war.

Yes. I saw your sarc and fully agree. I guess it is human nature for people to hope for the best and try to forget the worst.

This is the most patient of enemies whose next attack must be more spectacular than the last or they will lose their predominance within their ideological arena. As much as political correctness tries to discredit 'the long war' terminology here I know it remains the guiding idea of our military thinking.

Meanwhile, Hizbullah's "Hitler" Youth movement gets a fawning writeup from the NYT. Oh, they mention that some will go on to be terrorists, others will work the political side of the terrorist group, but it's all for a good cause - improving the spirituality and provides guidance to the listless youth of Lebanon.

If it's the same one I took yesterday (some softballs, some not-so-soft), I scored around 80%...and I should have been able to figure out most of the ones I missed, but I have a difficult time with economics and taxation issues, especially when I don't spend time thinking things through. It would probably have beeen easy for most people here. It doesn't surprise me that 48% was the average.

Scary about the elected officials, though. That explains a lot.

What would we know about any of this if not for MEMRI? No Western news agency has the stones to broadcast or transcribe statements like this in translation, so that people can see what the "militants" and "freedom fighters" are really up to.

Everyone who can should make a donation to MEMRI!

re: #208 Honorary Yooper

No they don't. The liberal I know, the ones who voted for Obama, really think socialism is the best direction for our country. Not because of "free" stuff, because they think that the job of the government is to control more of it's populace's lives.

They believe that the government know better about healthcare, energy and resources and they are certain that more social programs are needed to make us a great nation OF THE WORLD.

I've come across this over and over for the last few years. Yes, of course, there are voters who voted for Obama without a good grasp on what his politics represents, but whether you like it our not, there are more people than you realize (or you want to admit) that are totally aware of his politics and what they mean.

That's the ones we should be concerned about. The are educated, have money, connections and the means to effect elections.

We have to stop thinking that it's all about a bunch of people who don't know better. It really about a large group of people who know too damn well, and they are on a roll, and winning.

I hope the military is thinking long term. But in America you need more than that. As Vietnam, and more increasingly O.I.F. has shown, the best way to defeat the U.S. is to get the U.S. population to require their military to quit.

If we get tired, or bored, or no longer care - and thus no longer have the will to fight - it doesn't matter what our Military is capable of doing.
