I promise I'm not trying to horn in on a hat tip here, but I posted this story yesterday, and the only reason I'm bringing it up is because that AFP story mentions a rather important detail that this AP story omits (for whatever reason):

The suspect is of Algerian origin, according to Poland's Fakt newspaper.

The version of this story I saw yesterday identified him as a Frenchman of "North African" ethnicity.

I wonder if Michael N. knows the correct answer to the question, "Are you a grypsman?"...

I don't know. Since the Muslims seem to incorporate a lot of the Jewish and Christian religious figures into their "faith", ("Musa" for Moses, "Ibrahim" for Abraham, "Issa" for Jesus (which is a Latinization of Yeshua, IIUC), "Jibreel" for Gabriel, odds are decent that there is an Arabized/Islamic form of the name "Michael".

Or maybe he did change his name to avert suspicion.

Reid is serving a life sentence for attempting to use explosives in his shoes to blow up an American Airlines flight from Paris to Miami three months after the September 11 attacks.

Hi Judith. Glad I found you. You have some replies on The Saudi Missionary Project thread. If you have time you might want to check.

In fairness, that was Expatica that told the truth about the Algerian origin of the alleged terrorist. It was Agence France Presse. Therefore we must ask why AP withholds information that AFP doesn't?

Roger L Simon, could it have to do with the fact that the French press may be more willing to name an Algerian terrorist than the American press is? The French have dealt with Algerian terror for a long time so it probably doesn't have the pc connotations that mentioning an Islamic country of origin our own media avoids so assiduously.

"No publisher should want to be selling books with proven falsehoods in them, especially falsehoods that are meant to smear the military service of an American veteran," said Kerry campaign spokesman Chad Clanton.

I was only in the store for a couple of minutes, but while walking around, I saw a nice table set up with all the anti-bush books (well, I'm sure it wasn't all of them, but it was a sizable collection), and I didn't see Unfit For Command anywhere near them or the new releases...

Thats just so annoying... I used to be naive, and think people who are supposed to present you everything they get, do just that... It's bad enough that the news organizations do it, it's bad that libraries and universities do it, but it's shocking that a book store would put it's political stance ahead of making money! People want to buy the book, and they won't sell it because ONE Anti-Kerry book is going to make that big a difference when compared to the sea of Anti-Bush books?

thats another question that needs to be raised. Why is this ONE book getting more attention than the sea of Bush-Bashing books... oh, right, those are against the republican president, I forgot...

She doesn't say it was on purpose but does say it was self-inflicted but forgets to add that it was inadvertant.

Iranian born Porn star receives death threats

The disqualified Miss Norway contestant, Iranian born Aylar, has received death threats because of her past as a porn star and left the country as she fear for her own safety. «I really fear for my life now,» said 20-year-old Aylar Lie, to the Norwegian magazine Se og Hør Friday. «I have received a crystal clear message that there are people who want to kill me.» Aylar was disqualified from Miss Norway when her past as a porn star was revealed. Now the Iranian born woman claims she is hunted by extremist Muslims who claim she has disgraced their people and their religion.

The fact that several honor killings have been carried out in Scandinavia, frightens Aylar. An 18-year-old Iranian girl was strangled to death by her own father about a month ago at Furuset in Oslo. The reason for the murder was a culture clash between father and daughter. The Fadime case in Sweden 6 months ago, where Fadime’s father killed her because he did not agree with her lifestyle, also directed focus on honor killings among Muslims. The Iranian born girl wants to settle the score with the Muslim environment in Norway.

«Very many Muslim women want their freedom – and extremist Muslims have to respect that! That is the price they have to pay in order to live in a free country like Norway,» Aylar said.

She came to Norway when she was two years old and was raised by Norwegian foster parents. «I consider myself as a Norwegian girl, and I expect to be treated as one!» Aylar stated.

I think it's a realtively safe bet that there will not be huge marches of Poles in support of this FROG/Algerian. For the most part I think the Poles get it so far.

As I've said before, Denmark is perhaps the strongest anti-Islamic nation in the Western world, while neighboring Sweden is even more dhimmified than Canada. This has led to intra-Scandinavian quarrels over Muslim immigration, as Denmark refuses to follow the suicidal path of Sweden. It is true as it said in the article that there is virtually no PUBLIC debate about immigration in Sweden, despite the fact that opinion polls have shown a majority of Swedes want more immigration restrictions. Sweden is an ex-democracy:

Sweden embraces new wave of family reunifications

The family's positive experience was echoed by fellow visitors to the office, Somalis, Palestinians, Iraqis - none of whom had any trouble securing family reunification permits in Sweden. Hiwa himself came to Sweden as a refugee from Iraq in 1998. He later married Sawan, also an Iraqi, and wanted to bring her to Sweden. The only stipulation was a so-called ‘seriousness requirement:’ the couple had to convince the Swedish Immigration Service that their planned marriage was not pro forma.

Meanwhile, as Danish opposition parties quarrel bitterly over whether to roll back the 24-year age requirement, there is virtually no debate in Sweden. This despite the fact that Sweden granted 24,553 residence permits under family reunification last year, compared to Denmark's 4791.

Danish politicians have justified the strict laws as a bid to prevent arranged marriages, or matches coerced by immigrant parents to placate families in the home country. Denmark has also passed a resolution stating that family reunification applications by young people should be rejected if the couple's parents entered an arranged marriage themselves. Sweden's politicians view arranged marriages as a positive tradition: a cultural pattern that immigrants should be allowed to preserve even in Sweden. The Swedish government feels that interfering in arranged marriages is an encroachment upon private life. In addition, immigrant couples can apply for family reunification in Sweden even if they've never seen each other before - as long as the marriage is entered in a culture with a tradition of parents arranging marriages on behalf of their children.

The nation's liberal reunification laws has led to almost double the number of immigrants in Sweden as in Denmark. Out of Denmark's population of 5.3 million, seven percent are immigrants and their descendants. By comparison, immigrants represent 12-13 percent of Sweden's 9 million inhabitants.

Why bother questioning the ethnicity/Religion of anyone caught engaging in terrorist activities. There are only 2 possibilities...Moslems or Quakers.

Anyway, in 40 years all of North Africa will have relocated to France and the French themselves will be in the death throws of their cultural suicide as their flat birth rates are replenished by hordes of Moslem immigrants and their 10 children each.

Sarcasm on/

Norweegen Kuffir

I think Immigration reform in the Western nations is of the utmost strategic importance.

President Bush's weak stand on this issue almost convinces me not to vote for him. But I know the alternative is a sleeze ball.

If you watch French TV, you clearly see most French are North African, at least thats the impression the Multi-CULTI french want to portray.

Just finished reading the "Marianne" link above, and while once France has made the jump 100% to shari'a law, no female figure would ever be permitted, they have taken a half step in their progression to the Dar al Islam:

In 2002, a new Marianne was born. She does not have the features of a famous French woman but those of an anonymous " beurette"( young woman of North African descent), discovered by a scouting agent looking for a model who would symbolize a modern, multiethnic France.

Vive l'France!

Re: My 73

France's idea of a multi-ethnic state is loads of people with no interest in assimilating bringing a religion hostile to a secular state.

The US idea of a multi-ethnic state (although now being challenged by the multi-culti crowd) brings people from diverse backgrounds, encouraged to keep the best their home cultures have to bring to the table, while integrating fully into society. Think about the whole progression. True, the mistake of slavery (when Europeans brought captive Africans to this country) has left a permanent mark, although even there most of the descendants of African slaves are solidly middle class and making it in America. But after the original English, the Dutch and Germans, then the Irish, the Italians and eastern Europeans, the Chinese followed by other Asians, people from Latin America.

It has been a good thing.

I feel like doing a superior dance on France right now.

IMO your explanation is way too complex. What is the difference between immigration and colonisation?

I am so glad that the Poles are treating these evil despicable people who run around videotaping strategic sites with the intention of carrying out attacks as they should be dealt with.
The number of creeps of Arabic origin on the Niagara Parkway - on the river between NY state and Ontario below the Falls - with cameras and videocams clicking away at the hydro installations and bridges is phenomenal.
Add to that the scene I saw in Union Station, Toronto a year ago when a grinning hijab clad ugly female walked along the tracks with her video camera. It was dark in the interior and the tracks at Union Station are hardly a tourist must get a souvenir locale.
These people are evil incarnate and they should either be rounded up and placed in holding camps or deported to their countries of origin without further ado.

I have been impressed with Denmark's war against the Islamification of the West and for Freedom. When Denmark came out with new immigration and other laws, some two years ago, it was apparant that it was Denmark that was showing what has to be done.

Sweden is dhimmified from pure ignorance about the nature of Islam. They are under the impression that a large if not majority Muslim population can be in Sweden and still retain Swedish and Western identity. I'm not sure I want to bet on this. Even if it was safe to bet, it seems foolhardy to stake ones nation on the generosity and charity of Islam.

There is a Swedish blog running a discussion on Islam

[Link: www.bearstrong.net...]

Most Swedes, including the site master of the weblog, show complete ignorance of Islam and fall for the Big Lie from Muslim propagandists, even such hoary old chestnuts as "Muslims invented Mathematics". The trouble is, Swedes have not had to pay a price for defending Freedom. Therefore they think that there is no price to shoulder or pay.

How is it in Norway? Like Denmark or Sweden?

Meanwhile, in a multicultural, smoke-free, fragrance-prohibited campaign office, many miles from the actual topic...

Remember how the Kerrybots were squawking earlier this week about the Bush as that pointed out Kerry missed 76% of the Public Intelligence meetings, claiming that the usual Republican operatives were lying? Fact Check says, "Unh-unh-unh, Miss Thing."

A Bush-Cheney '04 ad released Aug. 13 accuses Kerry of being absent for 76% of the Senate Intelligence Committee's public hearings during the time he served there. The Kerry campaign calls the ad "misleading," so we checked, and Bush is right.

Official records show Kerry not present for at least 76% of public hearings held during his eight years on the panel, and possibly 78% (the record of one hearing is ambiguous).

Kerry points out that most meetings of the Intelligence Committee are closed and attendance records of those meetings aren't public, hinting that his attendance might have been better at the non-public proceedings. But Kerry could ask that his attendance records be made public, and hasn't.

Chris Muir is pure gold this morning.

A great brief on what's happening.

DPP111: If you are talking about Bjorn Staerk's weblog, he's Norwegian, although he does have some Swedish posters.

Norway used to be very much like Sweden, in its naive dhimmi ways. When Denmark started clamping down on Islam and Muslim immigration, which they did even before 9/11, Norwegian liberal newspapers ran editorials about how Denmark resembled Nazi Germany in the 1930s! This is changing fast. Is started a little bit last year, as Ibn Warraq's "Why I am not a Muslim" appeared in Norwegian translation, and several Humanists respected by left-wingers made some fairly critical remarks about Islam. It has been heating up A LOT this year, as the Progress Party, which is Norway's second or third largest party, have made some harsh remarks about Islam. The debate continues, as Norwegian Muslims have invited a Bin Laden backer to Oslo . Our clueless government just granted him entry, a move which is likely to enrage average Norwegians even more.

Only a year or two ago, you could hardly make a critical remark about Islam on Norwegian discussion forums without being branded "racist" and have your post deleted. Now, the same forums are brimming with anti-Islamic sentiments to such an extent that it is difficult to hold back. Frankly, I'm rather amazed over how quickly the mood is changing. I hope the same is true of other Euro countries. It's a little late, but better late than never, right?

OT: Awesome, Must-Read Editorial on the Olympics

Even Howard Dean's heart had to skip a beat when the Iraqi athletes walked in to Santiago Calatrava's magnificent stadium at the Olympics opening ceremony. Boy, did they look happy. Genuinely happy. Compare their elation--reaching toward he crowd, tapping their hearts--with the athletes from Iran or Saudi Arabia, who had that smile-or-disappear look Olympic athletes forlornly wore when they represented the Soviet Union or the "Eastern bloc" nations. In a word, the Iraqis looked free.

It occurred to me watching this pageant of superb sportsmen and sportswomen that much the same true freedom of spirit could be seen on the faces of athletes from a list of nations with familiar names--Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, Afghanistan, Grenada, Kuwait, South Korea, the former captive nations of Romania, Bulgaria, the Czechs, Slovakia, Estonia, Lithuania (all holding elections since the early 1990s), and the other former Soviet republics.

These Olympians have one thing in common: They come from the nations the U.S. has liberated since the end of World War II.

Do you lump all of Europe into the same column as the Islamofascists? Because if you do, you certainly have a lot of ammunition (hopefully not the launch codes).

We both know European financial assistance clearly goes to Arafish and his thugs to kill Jews. If I know this, how can the EU not? We know pro-Arab/Moslem propaganda is the staple diet sustaining the European appetite for anti-Semitism, even at the expense of their own Judeo-Christian heritage!

Thus, I believe there is something to your observations that European countries seem to harbor greater hatred and ill intent to the Jooo's, than towards the Moslem hordes that are outwardly plotting and getting away literally with murder (the Hamburg cell comes to mind).

I honestly offer no hypothesis for this strange phenomena, but it baffles the mind to contemplate it.

Islam is the danger and France started the ball rolling post World War II (they will pay in spades), after Hitler exported anti-Semitism to the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. Arab/Moslem anti-Semitism really seems to me to be the latest excuse the peace loving Moslems are using to continue their never ending bloodlust against humanity.

And guess what Bigel, they're winning, thank your local Liberal!

I mean, they're basically Spain but with a language with a lot of vowel-less words, so why sit around and wait for the inevitable? A pre-emptive "go fuck yourself" from us would do a world of good ...

It's just the standard all Europeans are the same in wanting to kill the Jews crap. Why bother making me spell it out? As someone with relatives all over Europe, and I've actually met some of my Polish relatives, I think you overdo it. You aren't going to change any minds by going over the top with rhetoric.

You are good with history. I agree that Israel should go down swinging if it comes to that. But the Euro bashing is just overgeneral, all the time. Allow me a "hoo boy."

Don't worry. Terrorism was created by GWB, along with his Zionist-Saudi-Halliburton friends. If you just vote for poor John Kerry, a victim of Texas Republican Illuminati, everything will be fine.

Anyway, Florida is loaded up with terror targets on the A-list. When the goal is to cause as much disruption, and as many casualties, as possible -- nobody is safe. Maybe some farmers in Kansas, or ranchers in Montana, are reasonably safe.

How has it come to pass that an evil, hateful, spiteful tribe of cultist primitives are allowed to bring our civilisation to such chaos and confusion?

What lie could be big enough to allow the rightful citizens of the Western tradition to willingly surrender their heritage to the new fangaled industry of race politics and multi-culturism, via immigration colonization?

Why don't those in authority take the necessary steps to limit immigration and control America's boarders?

Finally, what will America look like in a century, if drastic steps are not taken now to preserve American identity, culture and heritage?

Europe is further along in this civilisational crisis than we are, but I think thats only because we're a bigger country. Once we pass the point of no return, (demographically speaking) lets see how well the new found multi-culti citizens treat the newly realized former majority people of America. In the middle of all the racial conflict that are bound to occur, lets see how the Moslems fare in treating our constitution once they gain various political power.

And all the while, the liberals, the multi-cultists and the politicians of no convictions (Clinton, Ted Kennedy, etc.) will not be held responsible for their part in destroying all that was fought so hard for and defended to the last possible moment--the moment America became a distant memory of a formerally great civilisation that died a willing death at the alter of politically correct multicultural ideals.

You are wrong. Look, I'm the one living in Europe and meeting Europeans every day. The common Frenchman couldn't care less about Jews. S/he knows that there are Jews in France and that they scream rape and arson each time a shul is burned or a cemetery is defaced - but that's about it. Anti-semitism is part of French culture, but there is no target for it. [bigoted word]s, on the other hand, are everywhere, attack everybody, steal and break everything, and they are hated with a passion. Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal, the U.K. are the same.

Yeah, European gov'ts have chosen to support the Arabs against Israel and have wet dreams of a Judenrein world. Eurocrats do not represent Europeans.

Iran warns of preemptive strike to prevent attack on nuclear sites

Would you believe the story comes from AFP?

I especially like this quote:

Iran's controversial bid to generate nuclear power at its plant being built at Bushehr is seen by arch-enemies Israel and the United States as a cover for nuclear weapons development.

Don't only superheroes have arch-enemies?

And finally, our friends at AFP conclude this story with a very incomplete picture of Irans list of no-no's:

The Islamic republic has agreed to temporarily suspend uranium enrichment pending the completion of the IAEA probe, but is working on other parts of the fuel cycle and has recently resumed making centrifuges used for enrichment.

U.S. Arrests Two Suspected Hamas Members

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. officials have arrested two suspected members of the Palestinian militant group Hamas on charges of material support to a terrorist organization, racketeering and money laundering, the Justice Department said on Friday.

Mohammed Hamid Khalil Salah was arrested in Chicago and Abdelhaleem Hasan Abdelraziq Ashqar in northern Virginia on Thursday, a Justice Department spokesman said.

The Justice Department issued a third indictment for Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, who the spokesman said was living in Syria. The spokesman could not comment on whether the United States would seek his extradition.

I'm hearing there's an Ashcroft press conference at 10:15 Eastern.

Mr Pol

"Actually, most Europeans would be willing to pay any price to get rid of the [bigoted word]s... Too bad the EU-crats do not."

Do you think the average French citizen realizes he's been conned and wan't's to abort the inevitability of being the first Western country in history to succumb to a campaign of invasion and conquest sponsored by the cultural elites?

Or have the French swallowed this crap hook, line and kebab?

116/Yishai,

Aside from my detailed analysis of the Iranian threat, I think it's a sign that they're desperate. You might remember that Iranian official, Fereydoun Jahani, who was abducted a few weeks ago in Iraq. Just as an educated guess, I wouldn't be surprised if the CIA had something to do with that (as I've remarked before). I think it's an indication that we're gaining ground on these a**holes.

#127 bigel

No, but Europe's own actions to condemn Israel and the Jews over the past year certainly have.

On that we agree 100%. The best way to change the governments in Europe is to persuade those who vote to change the governments. Well, we could invade Europe again. But we'll have to do that when the Islamists gain control of French nukes anyway.

The biggest problem in Europe (aside from historical Jew-hating, granted) is the one-sided media they are subjected to. So, since we post here at LGF, we should try to educate Europeans who are victims of their media without pissing them off, or driving them off.

There are European posters here who must get a bit miffed being included in the whole Hitlerian construct you sometimes appear to believe in. I have a feeling you are angry and don't mean things quite the way they come out. And, as I said, you have a point when it comes to many Europeans, especially the EU bureaucrats -- and France. But the Internet is merciless when it comes to nuance. You are what you type, so to speak.

#131 Thom

So I'll bring up the Turk/Greek population exchange, the Indian/Pakistan transfer. Both of these are credited with saving countless lives. And if you read the plan presented, there is no population transfer unless the individual wants it. Even Jews stuck on the other side will not be forced to leave their homes if they want to live under Jordainian rule. What the plan does prevent is an influx of Arabs into Israel and Jews into Jordan. It would effectively separate the two warring people.

And all this could be accomplished with little additional funding. Instead of buying munitions with European aid, the PLO-Arabs will spend the money on infrastructure for their people.

Personally, I would rather just transfer the PLO-Arabs out of Israel. But this plan at least offers an alternative to that measure.

#141 Beagle

Oh, I'm familiar with the plan and I support it. It's been been much discussed here - which is why I can predict Gor-don's reaction with a fair degree of certainty.

Kerry's not the only "hawkchicken" whose military record is under scrutiny -

[Harkin's] Vietnam Lies

(Wall Street Journal, Thursday August 19 - Editorial - link requires subscription)

"In 1979, Mr. Harkin, then a congressman, participated in a round-table discussion arranged by the Congressional Vietnam Veterans' Caucus. 'I spent five years as a Navy pilot, starting in November of 1962,' Mr. Harkin said at that meeting, in words that were later quoted in a book, Changing of the Guard, by Washington Post political writer David Broder. 'One year was in Vietnam. I was flying F-4s and F-8s on combat air patrols and photo-reconnaissance support missions. I did no bombing.'

"That clearly is not an accurate picture of his Navy service. . . . Mr. Harkin's Navy record shows his only decoration is the National Defense Service Medal, awarded to everyone on active service during those years. He did not receive either the Vietnam Service medal or the Vietnam Campaign medal, the decorations given to everyone who served in the Southeast Asia theater."

It turned out Mr. Harkin had not seen combat and was stationed in Japan. What's more, Mr. Cheney isn't the first Vice President to fall victim to Mr. Harkin's acid tongue. In an editorial in 1988, we quoted "Senator Tom Harkin who served in Vietnam" (we thought at the time) saying of his Senate colleague Dan Quayle, who did not serve in Vietnam: "It's so ironic; they get in Congress or the government and become big hawks. Don't they have any shame at all?"

Interesting,

I'm not aware of any substantial number of casualties during the Turk/Greek exchange, but over a million died in India and Pakistan.

If true (perhaps Drudge is jumping the gun here), it will cause a backlash. People can't be so stupid that they don't see Kerry trying to kill the book instead of refuting the charges.

The Dem slime machine is going full throtle. Know they are writing letters to their local newspapers saying Kerry has released all records and say Bush hasn't. Just the opposite of the truth. They seem to be panicing a bit. And this is with Kerry in the lead right now.

I am well aware of Bat Yeór and the Euro-Arab dialogue et, al. I cannot stress her work strongly enough to those Germans I meet here. But most simply dismiss her as was the case with a LGF poster 'German Observer", who wrote in response to my reference to her work that she was "Biased"and that the EAD "Amounted to nothing".

I wish I would have stated the obvious that Germany is now host to millions of Moslems.

She certainly offers a seemingly bullet-proof argument for the obvious institional changes afforded to accomidate Moslems in Europe today.

Quote of the Day:

DEAN ESMAY: "The Internet has detected the mainstream media as a form of censorship and simply routed around them."

(via InstaPundit)

was in a Borders earlier today, and noticed that I didn't see [John Kerry: Unfit for Command]... at the very front I saw Bill Clinton's book facing the door...

The Internet really has changed the game for the "mainstream" media, academia, as well as publishing.

Imagine if this book was published 10 years ago.  You wouldn't see it on store shelves, and wouldn't even know it existed because the "mainstream" media would ignore it.

Most teachers and professors would not teach students about the information it contains, so the information would simply vanish down the memory hole.

"History" has been created this way, with this leftward tilt, for at least the last 50 years in the United States.

(If you asked 1,000 Americans why the United States fought the Vietnam war, less than 1% would have the word "Soviet Union" in the answer.  Hollywood has unanimously helped distort the facts with numerous Vietnam movies, many of them considered "classics" and film "masterpieces.")

Today, people can bypass book stores, libraries, and college professors, and obtain information and books via the Internet.

It will be interesting to observe the sociological impact in the coming years from having free and open access to information and differing viewpoints.

Al-Sadr supporters leave Najaf mosque

NAJAF, Iraq (CNN) -- Iraqi police seized control of the Imam Ali Mosque in Najaf on Friday after the fighters loyal to Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr withdrew, the Iraqi Interior Ministry said.

The Iraqi Interior Ministry said police peacefully entered the mosque Friday afternoon.

U.S. and Iraqi forces had surrounded the outskirts of the mosque compound Friday as part of offensive operations aimed at putting pressure on the fighters, who were holed up in the mosque complex.

This is how sick the AP is. Check out this headline about the Hamas arrests.

3 Palestinian Activists Face U.S. Charges

The three activists allegedly used bank accounts in the United States to launder millions of dollars to support Hamas, which the U.S. government has designated as a terrorist organization. The indictment against the three, filed in Chicago, was unsealed Friday

The activists include Mousa Mohammed Abu Marzook, formerly chief and now deputy chief of the Hamas political bureau. Marzook is believed to be living in Damascus, Syria, and is considered a fugitive, Ashcroft told a news conference at the Justice Department.

I saw the interview. Chris Matthews, and the other partisan Democrats, are apoplectic about this. Malkin came off as a winner to reasonable people. At least she didn't stoop to his level. He tried to put words in her mouth, and would not let her respond. That's the standard tactic. Susan Estrich started it with her ugly cross-examination style of interview about a week ago.

They know the ads are working in many cases. It's their own fault for running a candidate who centered his campaign on four months in Vietnam. Kerry's already spent more time talking about Vietnam, just in this campaign, than he spent serving with the Swiftees.

Sorry, I should have waited 4 more minutes.

Mr. Pol,

I've only heard of Le Pen in passing. But your calling him a spiritual heir to Hitler turns me off to him immediately since I am aware of your knowledge of these issues and I hate Hitler.

But I don't understand how Le Penn can be a Nazi if he is apparantly against Moslem immigration. To me, Jews are not an immigration or security issue. Or are they just the usual scapegoates which he equates with the Islamofascists?

Either way, how can France be salvaged with one party too rascist and the other treasonous?

Or is Islam in France to stay until the job is done as we know Moslems can never accept equal status, only sympathy until it conquers?

Some of it may come from the fact that, despite being very bright and articulate, as well as well-connected, he has bounced around alot in the industry.

It doesn't matter to them what you think. Even thinking of them in totally sterile terms still brings Jihad, Intifada and Dar al Harb my African brother.

So realize that our Western sentiments to their perceived sensitivities are merely a reflection of our Judeo-Christian roots and in no way affects their hatred of us.

By the way, "Piss-off" really pisses me off coming from you Zulu.

After how rude you were to me!? Wow. Too bad, andrew. You dish it out you'd better be prepared to take it.

#218 andrew2:

I personally am not trying to endear anyone to me. We are involved in a clash of civilizations and of cultures. I think ours is vastly superior. Slinging schoolyard ephithets is not evidence that we deserve to win. We will win this conflict by holding ourselves high, not slinking into the gutter.

You say:

True enough. But it may affect how those not directly involved perceive us.

#215 Cam

Yea cam. I agree with Zulubaby 99% of the time. But I see that sensitivities are exactly our Achellis Heel in this battle which brute force ultimately will win.

Therefore, I personally don't mind abbreviated terms like "[bigoted word]s"as I don't really think they are relavent, OK kuffir?

BTW Zulubaby, your still "tops" in my book. Sorry I attacked your politically correct residue.

And now for today's chuckle:

http://www.daybydaycartoon.com/

"After how rude you were to me!? Wow. Too bad, andrew. You dish it out you'd better be prepared to take it."

ZULU

And dish it you can do! I'm sorry. I just get pissed when I hear words being equated with actions.

To me, IF those practioners of the Islamic faith deserved such consideration it would be a different thing. But they often they rely on our trusting nature which they are using to conquer us.

To "relate" to them rather than rejecting them is their long term plan. And calling them "[bigoted word]s"is the least of their concerns.

Don't be a battery operated tool.

That was waaaaay out of line, and you should apologize to Zulubaby.

zulubaby, I can't stand "[bigoted word]s" either and lamented when it started showing up on LGF. A profoundly ugly word coming from an ugly instinct. It really gets on my nerves.
And andrew2, get ahold of yourself and have a little respect.

"[bigoted word]s" is disgusting. I am totally fine with Islamofacist, though.

Cam, thank you for #220 and the cartoon. They were both perfect.

Norwegian Kafir

"That was waaaaay out of line, and you should apologize to Zulubaby."

Ok Kafir. I do somewhat regret the analogy.

Zulubaby, I just don't want you to feel sorry for the very people that would kill us both. As I said calling them "[bigoted word]s"as an abbreviation ( and slur, just like any other immigrant group had to put up with ) hardly affects people there, only our propagandists who would use mere words to weaken our resolve and ignore their actions.

Norwegan, you would agree that such words mean nothing in the very real world of islamic colonization which you so eloquently write about daily.

Therefore, I personally don't mind abbreviated terms like "[bigoted word]s"as I don't really think they are relavent, OK kuffir?

That's fine, andrew, but I find "[bigoted word]s" offensive and I am entitled to my opinion without you being so bloody rude about it, okay?

#228 andrew2:

. As I said calling them "[bigoted word]s"as an abbreviation

"Heeb" is an abbreviation too, and I'm sure that you would not consider that acceptable speech.

A lot of Brits - oops individuals of British origin - refer to mosquitoes as [bigoted word]s.

My Dear Evariste(#225),

An "ugly" word? [bigoted word]s is an "Ugly" word? Lets be real. Since when is it an ugly word? What is an Ugly word today, anything someone wishes to use against you? And it really is only an abbreviation with some well warrented disdain.

But calling Jewish people "Jooo's" , is OK on LGF.

Apparently self depreciating humor is only ignored when it applies to those able to shrug it off.

Excuse me while I sneeze, I'm allergic to Bull shi*t.

#231 Millie Woods:

I thought that the expression was "mozzies".

andrew2, your self-righteous inability to back off a really stupid point is to the detriment of any lingering respect you might have earned (your calling zulubaby a tool and failing to apologize already wiped it out, but let's pretend you had some left). Yeah, it's so important to be able to say "[bigoted word]s" and freedom is in peril if we can't.

An "ugly" word? [bigoted word]s is an "Ugly" word? Lets be real. Since when is it an ugly word? What is an Ugly word today, anything someone wishes to use against you? And it really is only an abbreviation with some well warrented disdain.

I'm not a muslim, so I'm not sure why you say it's something someone wishes to use "against [me]". It's an ugly word and it comes from an ugly place. If you can't see that, it's probably because you're in that ugly place. Too bad for you.
As for this "abbreviation" canard:
[bigoted word]s: 7 letters.
muslims: 7 letters.
It's not an abbreviation, it's an ugly epithet. "Jooos" isn't an epithet, it's a parody of the way we imagine antisemites carry on when talking about Jews. We're not expressing our disdain for Jews when we say it, we're expressing our disdain for antisemites. It's completely different.
You must sneeze constantly if you're allergic to bullshit, because you're swimming in it.

But calling Jewish people "Jooo's" , is OK on LGF.

I find that offensive too and I've stated as much on more than one occasion. By the way, andrew, where I come from

kuffir

is just about the most offensive slur.

evariste

We're not expressing our disdain for Jews when we say it, we're expressing our disdain for antisemites. It's completely different.

Very well put, but it still annoys me.

andrew2

I just get pissed when I hear words being equated with actions.

Was that what I was doing? I don't like racial slurs. Sue me.

I always considered "Jooooos" a totally sarcastic, ironic way of making fun of the people who think that everything is the fault of the Jews. Just like "occupayshun".

I can't stand "Jooos" either, zulubaby, but on aesthetic grounds. It looks stupid, and it's overdone and stale now. I never use it myself, the last time I did was when I was begging bigel to stop saying it :-)
"[bigoted word]s", that one was tired and stale the day they thought it up.

WriterMom, that's what it is, you're right.

And the more o's there are in Jooos, the more I wince :-) Three is about as many as I can stand. Two of them to replace the "ew" and one to stretch it out. What do we need 24 o's for?

I still think it's funny.

And, it always reminds me of the Sesame Street song-"Would You Like To Buy An "O" For A Nickle". We'd need a lot of nickles for the number of ooooooooooooos that we use.

WriterMom, LOL!

evariste

I can't stand "Jooos" either, zulubaby, but on aesthetic grounds. It looks stupid, and it's overdone and stale now.

Yes, exactly.

Here it is: Would You Like To Buy An "O"?

Everyone, sing along! I think it's Ernie's song...

(your calling zulubaby a tool and failing to apologize already wiped it out, but let's pretend you had some left). Yeah, it's so important to be able to say "[bigoted word]s" and freedom is in peril if we can't.

My Dear Everlast (#234).

Please get it right. Number 1, I apologised several times to Zulu. She is entitled to her opinion and has every right to be sensitive to perceived slurs.

Number 2, my point is exactly the opposite of your interpretation.( "Yeah, it's so important to be able to say "[bigoted word]s" and freedom is in peril if we can't") .

What I have been arguing is that names really DON'T matter.

Everiste, have I somehow touched a nerve, I actually think we are in the same stratopsphere.

WriterMom, LOL. Beautiful.

You haven't touched a nerve, you're just annoying me. I don't buy this idea that "[bigoted word]s" is just another word. It looks and smells like an epithet to me. And try not to spell my name "Everlast" and "Everiste". It's in lower case, and it's "evariste".

241 evariste

The Jooooooooooooooo's!

Sort of sounds like Goooooooooogle, perhaps it a Jewish plot to conquer the internet :-0! !

OT: A quote from Gary Farber of WOC on how he came up with "Something Has Gone Rotten"

I merely spent two minutes pulling a few random illustrative quotes. I have no interest in arguing the specifics of any since thousands are available, and can be found with any given two minutes of effort.

What an analytical researcher the man is. If this is the way Journalism is conducted in main stream media it explains why we are in trouble.

I don't believe him anyway. He's got a longstanding grudge against Charles. "random" and "illustrative", isn't that an interesting juxtaposition? He's saying we're all hateful. I found it interesting that they were talking about "[bigoted word]s" on there too, because here we are talking about how distasteful we find the word. But we're probably not "random" or "illustrative" enough for Gary Ferber.
He can go fuck himself, really.

How come Poland an How come Poland an Strong ally is always so strongly slandered so strongly slandered here?

Poland cowardly? How can anyone with knowledge of recent history make such a claim?

Poland feels it has strong ties to the US since US revolutionary war were a large amount of Polish patriots fought (including the founder of US cavalry), then went back and tried free the people of their homeland and found a constitutional republic.(they defeated the Austrian and Russian armies but lost to the Prussian.).

As to Poland and the Jews in history there was no love lost but a system of government based on laws limited harassment. Poland’s liberal laws were the reason so many Jews settled and lived in Poland. Anti-Semitism has lost any intellectual force after being espoused and carried out by both the Nazis and the Communists which also oppressed Poland, anti-semitism in Poland is the domain of the uneducated and exposing such vies in polite company is seen as a sing of being uneducated idiot.

Rapprochement between Poland and Israel is hindered by people with attitudes like Bigel, and also the non acknowledgment of non-Jewish victims of Hitler. How can someone make a statement that Poles “secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) love Hitler”!!! Almost have of the victims from Poland of the concentration camps been non-Jews, which is an extremely hateful statement! Especially given the fight and resistance they did put up. Why are some of the people that were to be exterminated so hateful to the people that were going to be made slaves?

Poland like the US because of their mostly clean records in WW2 with respect to the Jews do not have to rewrite history tear down Israel or relabel Jews as Nazis to feel clean for the sins of its past.

Poland has a long History of standing up to expansionary Islam as well as a friendship toward the US. As well as a deep appreciation of US and its cowboy presidents, UK and their role in helping end communist tyranny. Strong realpolitic reasons to ally with US, form security concerns to influence. Poland does not have many resources since it is totally changing its armed forces form Warsaw pact conscript army into a professional modern one that can operate inside and with multinational western professional army speaking English, These resources will grow strongly with time however. Poland is not going to go soft and would NEVER!!! act like Spain did.

Kamil

#252 evariste,

He does, frequently:-)

Kamil, what kind of Polish name is that? Just wondering. But in Central Park, New York City, there is a statue to a Polish King who lead an army into battle.

#253 kamil, before you FOAD, go to

http://www.ushmm.org/
Look for
MOSAIC OF VICTIMS

The whole site is information overload. Read for a while and try again.

#259 ploome hineni,

Well I first came upon that site while doing some research because of someone I worked with having Kamil's attitude. That Muslim someone would only say, the site is just more Jewish propaganda while a Polish immigrant I work with, his eye's lit with fire over it. He never gives details but his dad must have went thru mean times. Had to keep them from discussing it at the same time.

I took Kamil's comment as an opportunity to link the United States Holecaust Memorial Museum.

Honestly, kamil was probably a situation where a gentle approach could actually have been beneficial. Just blasting him straight out of the gate may have lost us a good foreign contributor who just needed some info to understand why that paragraph was so objectionable.

#264 Thom:

My thoughts exactly. It struck me that his/her first language was not English and he/she may not have phrased the sentiment quite the way it was intended.

266 ploome hineni

I didn't say you misinterpreted. I was just trying to say that kamil could have been given the chance to re-examine his views if he had been given the info. He didn't come here like a frothing troll after all.

After that, blast away if he sticks to that crap.

ploome:

I certainly don't want to get into a pissing match with you, don't get me wrong. I think that the attack on bigel was uncalled for, or perhaps clunkily phrased. Were I Polish, I would certainly be wary about bigel. Bigel wants to nuke 'em all, and bully for him. But he does seem to have a fixation on the Poles.

Yes there were evil, collaborationist Poles, but there were also those that resisted. The Dutch were among the more enthusiastic colloborators. My Dad's Dad was Dutch, and he hid Jews and Resistance members in his barn, at great risk to him and his family. So were bigel to start in on the Dutch the way he does the Poles, I would probably react in much the same way to him.

Re: your links. Yep, evil all. But Kamil didn't reference those people in his/her link, you did.

Finally, I re-itersate what I said earlier. The person's post may not have come out the way he/she intended, due to a language problem. We may have missed an opportunity to sway someone's opinion by attacking him/her.

Ploome, you know I have great respect for you and your posts, so understand I am not attacking you. Hell, I like bigel as well. I just felt that maybe theree was something other than blatant anti-semitism in Kamil's post.

For what it's worth.

... and also the non acknowledgment of non-Jewish victims of Hitler.

Um, what does this have to do with Israel? And why is it the Jews' responsibility to acknowledge this? Is there anything that we're not responsible for?

#253 kamil,

How can someone make a statement that Poles “secretly (and sometimes not so secretly) love Hitler”!!!

I don't know as much about the Poles situation but I do know that the U.S. could have become a fascist country at one time with the help of Joe Kennedy, the Ambassador to the U.K. and the father of a future president of the U.S. His first son died and was the son he really wanted to be president. There was admiration of Hitler in the U.S. because success is always lauded, especially economic. Democracy was not completely trusted around the world at that time. Many countries came periliously close to turning facists as Mussolini's Italy did.

I'm glad we got John Kennedy later rather than Joe Jr earlier.

My G-d :-(

ploome:

Point taken. Fucking savagery.

I'm glad I refreshed before posting my reply to #270, ploome ...

There was something I wanted to say, but now it seems totally inappropriate.

#266 ploome hineni,

There is another group of Christians who never read and understood Romans 3

3:1 Therefore what advantage does the Jew have, or what is the value of circumcision? 3:2 Actually, there are many advantages.1 First of all,2 the Jews3 were entrusted with the oracles of God.4 3:3 What then? If some did not believe, does their unbelief nullify the faithfulness of God? 3:4 Absolutely not! Let God be proven true, and every human being5 shown up as a liar,6 just as it is written: "so that you will be justified7 in your words and will prevail when you are judged.

The unbelief is referring to Christ.

-----

Just horrific, ploome, horrific. What could have been, we will never know.

#282 ploome hineni:

ploome, judging by Kamil's lack of a response, I am thinking that he/she may have been intentionally trying to get a rise out of us.

I won't apologize for trying to give him/her the benefit of the doubt, however, the lack of a reasoned response inclines me to think that you were right.

This too shall pass. You say we can and must make the world a better place. I agree, whether it works or not. Many tried and failed to prevent the holocaust, and failed. But even saving one Jew from that horror is a victory of sorts, even if it was a samll one. We cannot stop trying.

I believe that we will win. I believe that good eventually trumps evil, whether in this reckoning or the next.

And ploome

((((((((((HUGS)))))))))

ploome hineni :

You are linking to pictures of Germans engaging in a genocide in order to prove that Bigel is right about Poles being anti-Semites ?

I am sorry but I have to come to conclusion that you are either a complete idiot or you are purposefully engaging in rewriting history to justify your own prejudices.
There is no other explanation.

ploome hineni:

"Forty-two Jews were killed and about fifty were wounded."

And that is what you use to equate 3 millions of Jews killed in Nazi concentration camps using systematic and preplanned genocide.

Yeah, there was no difference between Nazis and Poles.

People like you need to die out.
You are no different then a typical Holocaust deniers - you just spin for the other side.
