Great book... hope he posts regularly!

Congratulations to both Robert Spencer on hiw new Blog and companion site and to Charles on a job well done! I'll be there with bell on!

Mazel Tov to you, Charles. Nice work :-)

But PBS and AOL told me that Jihad was basically an internal struggle within an individual. It is going to be kind of hard to watch an internal struggle.

Excellent. One-stop shopping.

I just heard a better analysis of what is likely going on than I had. I had said we lost a SILENT WW3 to Islam and we are onto WW4. NOW..someone on TV (I forgot who is was now --one of the MSNBC Analysts) described what we are facing as analogous to the COLD WAR. Yes..it will go on THAT long. It will be THAT kind of fight.. I think the guy is RIGHT and I was WRONG.

Nice site! How do you have time.

These two sites are now on my favorites list. Thanks Robert Spencer.

I think educating our fellow citizens in the concept of dhimmitude can be one of the most effective ways of turning on the lightbulbs in the heads of sensible people who are ignorant of the threat of Islam.

This site should supply lots of good information that needs to be spread to our families, to college students, to journalists and to politicians.

Watch out, Robert Spencer; you are almost certain to wind up on Allah's "Great Satan" list.

A great beginning for both sites, keep up the good work.

#6 Leah; I think that analogy is quite right, the war against islamism and the islamist terror masters will be "a long twilight struggle", although with more constant low-level violence than was characteristic of the Cold War. We are facing an enemy who is, fortunately, much less powerful than was the USSR, but also much less rational.

Jews and Christians are "protected peoples" under Islam. Zoo animals too, are protected.

Congratulations on a job well done to Mr. Spencer. Its time to get the message out. The world faces a new darkness now, and unless we address it soon it shall cover the whole Earth.

Allah was feeling afraid tonight that he would have nothing to rant about tomorrow, and what happens? The Great Satan lays two obscene blogs right in his lap. Oho! Allah must go now and sharpen his knife!

Charles, you've outdone yourself. These two websites are FANTASTIC! Are they linked via your website?

Re #12: See? Toldja.

Here is a little snippet from the Ayn Rand Institue. I thought it to be pretty accurate.

To understand America's depressingly feeble response to those warring against it, one must understand the fundamental ideas, the philosophic ideas, shaping our leaders' foreign policy. And to understand why America is the hated target of Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, the PLO, Syria, Libya and their hordes of terrorists, one must understand the philosophic ideas motivating them.

What ideas have undercut America? Politically, America's policy is one of appeasement, which emboldens our enemies. We occasionally half-heartedly bomb individual terrorists, but we negotiate with and leave unharmed the countries that perpetrate the attacks. Our leaders have been taught in college that pragmatism—the abandonment of a principled stand—is practical. Morally, America has been disarmed by altruism, the idea that sacrifice for the sake of others is the moral ideal. Our leaders think it is wrong to defend, by whatever force is necessary, America's self-interest. And the moral relativism and egalitarianism flowing from our universities causes our leaders to identify our enemies simply as men who have different but equally valid values. Our enemies are not seen as the evil they are.

Those warring against us are not isolated madmen but people motivated by irrational philosophical ideas. The religious mysticism and supernaturalism of Islam teaches them that the human mind is an impotent nothing that must prostrate itself before God, that the individual must sacrifice himself to the supernatural (the suicide bombers believe their self-sacrifice is the ticket to a blessed afterlife). Accordingly, these people hate those who champion not God but this earth—not mysticism but science and technology—not faith but reason—not collectivism and obedience to authority but individualism and freedom. In short, they hate and want to destroy the core values of Western Civilization—and its greatest flowering, the United States of America. It is no accident that they targeted the two tallest buildings in New York's skyline, concrete symbols of America's achievements.

Also, here is a little piece that was done one month after 9/11. America vs. Death-Worship: The Moral Meaning of the Coming War

It's gonna be good to watch him Fisk whitewashers of Islam. He is going to be called an Islamophobe by apologists. He says what I want to say, only without my own anger.

Wow, Occasional Reader, you are good.

And that Allah is nothing if not quick on the draw.

Judge Sentences Al Qaeda Supporter to Prison

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Reuters) - Iyman Faris, an Ohio truck driver, was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 years in prison for supporting al Qaeda, after first admitting he cased the Brooklyn Bridge to see if it could be destroyed and then trying to withdraw his guilty plea.

U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema gave the maximum term possible after rejecting a request by Faris to withdraw the initial guilty plea he entered in a deal with prosecutors. She said he knowingly pleaded guilty and that his credibility now was "in serious question."

She also said that Faris underwent a mental competency examination while awaiting sentencing and that a psychiatrist found he had no significant mental problems.

Chalk one up for the good guys. The two problems I have are 1) all he got was 20 years, and 2) someone actually determined that he is sane...

# 10 dhimmi-no-more

How does that jibe with the whole apes and pigs thing? Are Jews given special status, such as it is, because they qualify both as dhimmi and as barnyard animals?

Also, here are a few more dhimmi nicknames still up for grabs:

dhimmi shelter
dhimmi some loving
dhimmi moore
dhimmi your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..
dhimminy cricket

scaramouche - how about dhimmi dude?

Great news! I've been waiting for this web site for a long time. Westerners need to be educated about the concept of dhimmitude, especially my fellow Europeans. Of course, a couple of sites already exist, like Bat Yeor's [Link: www.dhimmi.org...] and the other [Link: www.dhimmi.com...]

But we need a more mainstream one.

Dhimmi liberty or give me death?

#15 Egfrow 10/28/2003 05:16PM PST

Those warring against us are not isolated madmen but people motivated by irrational philosophical ideas.

And here I thought it was just righteous anger over our rejection of the Kyoto treaty, unfair trade practices, and failure to provide all our citizens with free health care and six weeks off per year.

I mean, that would make ANYBODY hate us. Terrorism is simply a legitimate form of protest by the oppressed against the oppressors.

How about Islam for Dhimmis? :-)

Islam Dhimmi the sh*ts

I've always liked Islam Review (www.islamreview.com) as site with an informative critique of all things Islamic.

#24 reaganite 10/28/2003 05:45PM

Heh.
At my other regular forum of choice, I like to look for the craziest-ass POS for brains moonbat post and mock it relentlessly.

That shiite is hard to find here, so I have to make my own fun.

So, yeah, I was just funnin' y'all.

OT: Oh, Reuters. Like death and taxes, it's just so...predictable.

Oh, NPR. Like death and taxes, too.

#4 Right Wing Conspirator:

But PBS and AOL told me that Jihad was basically an internal struggle within an individual. It is going to be kind of hard to watch an internal struggle.

The only internal struggle is in their intestinal system. Of all the revisionist, pie in tthe sky, claptrap I have ever read, that takes the hummus. Yeah right - the splodeydopes are going through an internal struggle (to decide wheter it is more cost effective to blow up a bus or a disco. P.B.S. is as bad as the B.B.C. and both should be privatized.

... though my mom half believes that load of tripe I posted above.

Blech.

Oh yeah, and, of course, George W. Bush is a greater threat than Islamicists -- how could I have forgotten THAT one?

(& it goes without saying that Bush = Hitler. *retch* My uncle, who ought to know better, actually had the audacity to bring that one out. Jumping Jesus on a pogo stick, but there're just way too many smart people out there with an excess of white guilt or something - I dunno - that doesn't let them see that we're the good guys.

Or we suck, I don't care. We just suck less than virtually anybody. Or, at least, the U.S. sucks way less than any other nation that comes anywhere close to matching us in power. I once heard some goofball say that we needed to be more like Iceland. Y'know, 'cause they're less evil than us. Fark that. It's easy to be free from criticism when you don't have the power to actually DO anything.)

Two Thumbs Up!

Of course, Spencer is just preaching to the choir when there are cross-posts here. How do we spread the meme?

scaramouche #22 - No, it should be give me liberty or dhimmi death - IMO, death and dhimmitude go together better, 'cause dhimmi liberty ain't. Another couple:

dhimmi peace (and that's a wordplay in more then one way)
dhimmi crude (a play on blood-for-oil)

What are the chances that Mr. Spencer will have to contend with a Dhimmi Watch Watch site?

I really like the new site---but why is it all squishy down the left side and overlapped (like BBC)? And what, if anything, can I do about that?

Is it my browser?

#32 Lewis Farking Black

Also, it's easy to be loved when you need not worry about standing up and doing something that might be difficult or controversial, because hey, the U.S. will take care of it...

Most web sites are optimized for a resolution of 800x600.

If you have at least a 15" monitor, there should be no problem viewing that resolution.

If you are using a Windows OS, right click on the desktop then settings. There you should be able to set your resolution to 800x600.

If you are using a Mac, I have no idea what to do :=)

sort of OT: over 100 rabbis sermons right after 9-11. (Remember it was the week before Rosh Hashanah.)

Elizabeth: the problem is that you're using the Web TV browser, which is, I'm sad to say, not up to par with current web standards. Any chance I could convince you to get an iMac?

Great Site Robert and will pick up the book tonight on the way home. I am probably a late starter on this war we are fighting as I only got involved after 9/11. But I am wholeheartedly engaged at this point and at times the effort we need to sustain and win this war seems to be absolutely out of our reach, somehow God willing we have to find the strength. We have to drag ourselves out of the easy chair stare into our childrens eyes and realize that "If not us then who? If not now then when?" the war is on whether we want it or not. Ours isnt to decide whether to be involved or not but whether to win or not.

Does anyone have opinions on Bush Vs the Beltway?

Pierre

PS My small blog has linked to LGF and Jihah Watch.

Two excellent sites. Can't wait to see more out of them.

#39 Yehudit

Would you recomend any sermon in particular?

Maybe you can start to tally the toll of Jihad and possibly offer a dynamic counter a la IBC.

How about the anti-idiotarian Dhimmi Watch Watch Watch?

heh, nice nick Ed

Charles, you might be interested to know that there's a small bug on your site when viewed with IE on a PC. The "recent comments" drop-down menu doesn't expand to show the names of the entries. You can see only the comment # and date. It works fine with Mozilla.

Let's Roll:

Judge Sentences Al Qaeda Supporter to Prison ALEXANDRIA, Va. (Reuters) - Iyman Faris, an Ohio truck driver, was sentenced on Tuesday to 20 years in prison for supporting al Qaeda . . . . Chalk one up for the good guys. The two problems I have are 1) all he got was 20 years

20 years is waaaaay to short. It's treason and he should have been executed. Then again, if it's 20 years in pounding-up-the-ass prison, well that would be in keeping with justice.

@50 k

I just tried the menu from mine too...IE6.0
I see the same thing you do.
Hrmmmmmm maybe I need to reinstall Firebird.

#39: Interesting link.

Charles -

One little tech thingy. Jihad and Dhimmi pages not Pocket PC friendly. Long long scroll down before I get to the calendar box.

Very nice.

Here's a Ronald Regan(remember him) quote you all might like. He's not W.L.S. Churchill but he's pretty good

“It’s not that our liberal friends are ignorant. It’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

OT?
So Charles, who is building AllahPundit?

OT?

Would you recomend any sermon in particular?

I barely had time to glance through it - I skimmed a few by rabbis I knew. The one by Jeremy Kalmanofsky is very good. The one by Burt Vizotsky speaks to the issues raised by the troll in a previous thread who was bashing the mother who was blown up on the bus, for taking her kids to Israel. Yael Ridberg is also good. they are all in NYC. Stuart Kelman's sermon manages to recover from quoting both Susan Sontag and Tom Friedman (his shul is in Berkeley).

Just pondering..And I think Ill put this HERE..Cause I don't know where else to put it.

Its RAMADAM time again. Now lets compare and contrast the behavior of the three religions and what they expect out of the adherents (is that a word to use here?) on the "holidays"....

It Christmas or Easter..and Christan's are expected to do --what? I know what they AREN'T expected to do..That is: BOMB THE HELL OUT OF PEOPLE OF OTHER RELIGIONS. At NO time does this religion tell its people to use either of these holidays to do violence to others.

Its Yom Kipper, Rosh Hashona, Passover, Succus ..and so on...and Jews are expected to do what to "celebrate" their holiday? What we are NOT told to do..is BOMB and KILL others to mark our Holiday. Even if you dont like a group, a nation, a people, THATS the time when you DON'T use violence.

Its Ramadan..and Moslem's ARE expected or will use VIOLENCE and BOMB OTHERS... If that ISNT true how come there are all sorts of warnings to the West that indeed because of Ramadan there will be an increase in Terrorist actions. Have I been hearing right?

Good Gawd Almighty!!!!!!Something is radically wrong here. I don't care WHAT the PC of the thing is.

OT? So Charles, who is building AllahPundit?

Charles has no idea. The person who is (theoretically) building AllahPundit--which shall look very similar to Allah's Blogspot blog, so do not get too excited--is Jace Herring of Bloghosts.

#57 Yehudit

Sorry for the trouble, and thanks for the effort.

charles--love the spencer site BUT notice that you can't post without giving your email address--i think that the desire to remain anonymous is an INDIVIDUAL thing and that no one should have to divulge email address to engage in blogospheric conversaions and posts--you don't require it here nor, in my opinion, should you require it there--it should be up to the individul poster--i'd rethink that aspect :-]

Thanks to both of you. I figured it was me.

Yes Charles, I'd love to get an iMac---and one of these days I will---at least I'll get something better than what I've got but when you're a starving artist and blah, blah, blah (appropriate sob story accompanies...)

Maybe after Christmas I can pick up a used one with my tax rebate
(visions of sugar plum-colored iMac sitting on my drafting table....)

I think I finally figured it out.

All the lefties are just waiting around for someone to take charge TO WHOM THEY CAN'T SAY NO. The disorder of a real democracy offends their sense of self and their massive egos because they know that they can't gain any real power in a democratic society. About right??????

#68 Rayra

In addition to what HULUGU said, I've got another reason. I'm currently working on getting into ye olde Law School at UT Austin. I don't want people to be able to google my email addy or name and come up with the politically unpopular but necessary things I say, or sites I comment on when THEY say them. Which is the whole reason that I don't give an email addy here or use my Real Name; I don't think that they could blackball me on account of my saying things about Islam, the UN or any other malefic construction of the world, but once I get in there (or any other law school) it could make my life on- and off-campus harder. Good enough reason not to shout my identity? (Full disclosure: I haven't tried to post at Mr. Spencer's site, so I don't know if it's required to put your email in as a LINK, or if you have to 'sign up' like some other blog talkbacks, wherein you can obfuscate your email from anyone but the owner. I'm assuming the former is the issue)
