Pittsburgh Islamic Leader: Ayaan Hirsi Ali Should Be Killed

Sun, Apr 22, 2007 at 8:21:13 am PDT

When ex-Muslim Ayaan Hirsi Ali appeared at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown, Muslim groups tried to have her speech shut down. And they made it clear that if they had the power, and US law were written according to shari’a, Hirsi Ali would not simply be prohibited from speaking.

According to the president of the Johnstown Islamic Center, Imam Fouad ElBayly, she’d be dead.

And in a perfect example of the bizarre disconnect between reality and the shiny happy multicultural world of the media, the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review calls this a “debate on religious freedom.”

This isn’t in Afghanistan. It’s in Pittsburgh.

Islamic leaders tried to block the lecture, which was sponsored through an endowment from the Frank J. and Sylvia T. Pasquerilla Lecture Series. They argued that Hirsi Ali’s attacks against the Muslim faith in her book, “Infidel,” and movie, “Submission,” are “poisonous and unjustified” and create dissension in their community.

Although university officials listened to Islamic leaders’ concerns, the lecture planned last year took place Tuesday evening under tight security, with no incidents.

Imam Fouad ElBayly, president of the Johnstown Islamic Center, was among those who objected to Hirsi Ali’s appearance.

“She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death,” said ElBayly, who came to the U.S. from Egypt in 1976. ...

Although ElBayly believes a death sentence is warranted for Hirsi Ali, he stressed that America is not the jurisdiction where such a crime should be punished. Instead, Hirsi Ali should be judged in a Muslim country after being given a trial, he added.

“If it is found that a person is mentally unstable, or a child or disabled, there should be no punishment,” he said. “It’s a very merciful religion if you try to understand it.

Which, with the knowledge that the Muslims believe all the world to be potentially Islamic, amounts to a distinction without difference.

Heads at the newspaper must have been exploding after ElBayly's comments - how on earth could they bring balance to such extreme views within mainstream islam? Simple. Treat this as a history lesson and bring up the Inquisition!

Centuries ago, Lengwin said, the church imposed harsh punishment -- including execution -- upon people viewed as heretics. He cited as an example the Roman Inquisition trial of 15th century Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei, who was tried by the church, threatened with torture and sentenced to prison for his teachings on the motions of the earth.

With the evolution of the church, things have changed.

This was the most patronizing article I've read in a long time. Disgusting.

Plenty of support for the imam from the "Department of Peace" crowd, who seem to overlook the imam's note of disappointment that "We have no capacity to execute a sentence:"

Islamic leaders tried unsuccessfully to convince university officials to cancel her appearance, arguing that her attacks against Muslims are "poisonous."

Imam Fouad ElBayly, president of the Islamic Center of Johnstown, feared her mere presence would incite violence. He said that in the eyes of the Islamic community, Hirsi Ali's rejection of her Muslim faith and "all of her lies" warrant a death sentence.

He worried that someone would try to carry it out.

"I'm trying to control my people here. I don't want people to get hot and cause trouble," said ElBayly, whose community includes an active core of about 30 families and a number of others who attend occasional services and programs.

"We have no capacity to execute a sentence, but her sentence would be death for turning on her religion to make a profit and for speaking out against it."

Etta Albright, a member of the Altoona chapter of the national Peace Alliance, said she was "saddened" by what she called the negative impact and threat Hirsi Ali's appearance presented to the Islamic community.

"I sympathize with the Muslim community's concerns on what kind of inflammatory impact this could have on the community," she said.

Albright, of Cresson, said the organization's goal is to establish a federal law creating a cabinet level U.S. Department of Peace to develop methods of conflict resolution. She said the Pitt program further demonstrates the need for discussion about all religions.

71 Walter L. Newton  Sun, Apr 22, 2007 8:51:35am

“It’s a very merciful religion if you try to understand it.”

For me, this is not hard to understand. If a theology stresses isolation from the general society around you, and your circle of social interactions is of like minded persons, then it is very easy to come to believe certain things and be assured in your thinking.

We have a group in this country that very much thinks like Islam, minus all the "killing options." Jehovah's Witnesses very much think that they are the ONLY ones that will be saved, non Witnesses will not reap any benefits from God, and all of this is due to God's mercy. In order to keep their flock busy, and removed from the world, they have 5 meetings a week, door to door service once or twice a week, in-home book studies once a week, large regional meetings 4 times a year and so on.

I don't relate any of this to put down the Witnesses, just to show you that it is very easy for a group to re-socialize people. The Witness members consist of many well educated people, doctors, lawyers, professionals etc. And you can find them just down any street from you.

Like I say, the only thing missing is the killing. They look at an apostate in the same light as Islam does, non Witness family members are shunned, they will report each other to the elders if they see a member sinning, they tell you what secular work is proper, they suggest how women should modestly dress, women are defiantly subservient to the men in the congregation and so on. Someday I may do a comparative list of practices.

So why are we so amazed when we hear what comes out of Islam. The mindset is more common than most know.

In 1919, the US government jailed 3 leaders of the Witness governing body for sedation. Maybe Islam needs to be treated the same way.

Instead, Hirsi Ali should be judged in a Muslim country after being given a trial, he added.

Then after a judge in a shariah court in Somalia or Pakistan sentences her to death in absentia, some wacko will assassinate her because he feels it's his divine duty.

"The Prophet Mohammed was a peacemaker and a role model for humanity," she said. "My understanding is that he was a peaceful person who believed that religion was a choice. He tried to teach people and bring them into it, not punish them."

No, you only got punished if you checked it out and decided that Islam was not for you.

Although ElBayly believes a death sentence is warranted for Hirsi Ali, he stressed that America is not the jurisdiction where such a crime should be punished.

Note that by saying this he is as much as saying that America is just another jurisdiction under Shariat.

Note to ElBayly: Both the Amish and the Mormons had a relatively hard time convincing America to adapt to their ways, instead they have since adapted to ours, the Amish even have separate enclaves. Your church will adapt too, or it will not survive in the long term. Consider that the sentence of the court of reality.

But dar ul harb vs dar ul islam is just religious talk. All this us-vs-them-ism ends when there is no more them. Then there will be peace.

OT: Pakistan trying to encourage tourism by self-insuring for terrorism:

Islamabad, 20 April (AKI/DAWN) - Pakistan has decided to provide risk insurance coverage to foreign tourists, business people and foreign investors with a view to offering them reasonable protection against any terrorist act. Foreigners’ reluctance to travel to Pakistan since 9/11 has seriously impacted tourism and economic growth in terms of foreign investments, business and foreign exchange. Commerce Minister Humayun Akhtar Khan told a press conference Thursday that due to limited coverage and high premiums, the number of foreigners visiting Pakistan has dropped substantially in last few years as Pakistan was declared a high-risk zone.


Answering a question, the National Insurance Company chairman Abid Javed Akbar said that under the scheme Pakistan would provide normal rate of insurance to foreign tourists against the foreign insurance company’s exorbitant premium rates for terrorism cover, which is between 50 per cent and 200 per cent higher than the normal travel insurance.

He said the insurance coverage will be extended to government delegates, official trade delegates, business travels and tourism. The scheme will be available for a period of one week or one month.

Under the industrial insurance coverage, property risk will be covered up to Rs600 million with a reasonable competitive premium. Moreover, rates have now been reduced and ceilings have been increased substantially to take care of major foreign investments and funded projects.

I can see it now, "Please keep your arms inside the bus at all times.....if you look to your left you can see Osama's cave, and around the corner we will soon come to a stoning pit...."

I don't understand Muslim rhetoric in absolute faith.

When the name of the religion literally means "submission", there's no room for the non-submissive. That's what the "all religions are the same" crowd refuses to acknowledge. This one very explicitly says that there is no room for any questioning or any thought. How many other religions go by the name "submission"?

Refer to Paul Belien about the nature of Holland's society today:

It is no coincidence that the collapse of Western civilisation, complete with political assassinations, is most visible in the country which in the past three decades has taken secularization, multiculturalism, tolerance of alternative lifestyles, drug abuse and other fads to its furthest extremes. The murders of Pim Fortuyn and Theo van Gogh have led to some Dutch soul-searching. Voters have shifted dramatically to the right, but the collapse of Dutch society is most visible in its emigration figures. Since 2003 emigration exceeds immigration: 110,235 people (mostly Dutch natives) left the Netherlands last year, compared to 94,019 people (many of them Muslims) moving in. In the first half of this year 53,808 people moved out, compared to 40,842 moving in. To lose 100,000 natives a year is a lot for a country of 16 million, one million of whom already are Muslim immigrants. The emigrants are leaving for Western countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Scandinavia and the United States.

What Ms. Hirsi Ali has to fear most, other than being murdered here, is;

1. Being "tried in absentia" and sentenced to death by an Islamic court somewhere. (Excuse this one if it has in fact already been done, which would not surprise me.)

2. Being abducted and forcibly taken to an Islamic country for "trial". By the standards of Sharia, apparently any such country will do, it doesn't have to be her native land. Thus, she could be "disappeared" in the U.S., and surface in front of Sharia court in Iran or Syria, with the court piously proclaiming that she had "repented" and "come of her own free will to face the judgment of Allah".

3. Following a Democrat winning the White House in November of next year, being declared persona non grata and ejected from the U.S. by the likes of Hillary, Obama, Edwards et al. And being delivered to (2) above by Federal officers "in the interest of international peace and understanding". (AKA the Ramsay Clark Method.)

The fact that those who supported the Islamists who want her dead, are also supporters of Dennis Kucinich's moonbeam about a Cabinet level "Department of Peace" to replace the Defense Department, shows that they are firmly in the camp that believes that ""Humanity' is what matters; people as individuals are irrelevant". (Statement made to me in 11th grade by my full-on Marxist civics teacher.) This is something that everyone should ponder when deciding who to vote for. Anyone who garners support from this lot is probably not safe to have in public office.

For that matter, they probably shouldn't be allowed to have sharp objects, either.

Swedish security police "harasses Muslims"

A major crisis management training exercise taking place in Stockholm next week will contribute to further stigmatization of Muslims, according to two leading members of the Green Party.

"The security police constantly engages in harassing Muslims and actively contributes to fuelling Islamophobia," wrote Stockholm's opposition vice mayor Yvonne Ruwaida and member of parliament Mehmet Kaplan on Dagens Nyheter's opinion page.

The politicians believe that the crisis exercise which the Swedish Emergency Management Agency (Krisberedskapsmyndigheten) is starting on Wednesday will follow this pattern.

Around 4,000 people will participate in the exercise and the scenario which they will attempt to deal with is described as "a terrorist attack with weapons of mass destruction".

The terrorists in the exercise have been given the fictional name of 'Bogalanders'. They live in one of the predominantly immigrant ' Million Homes ' areas, their religion is split into two factions and they are protesting against the occupation of holy ground in 'Bogaland'.

"The parallels with Muslims and Islam are not exactly hard to find," wrote Kaplan and Ruwaida.

They want to know why the security police (Säpo) is "specifically targeting Muslims" and are proposing a parliamentary inquiry into Säpo's future operations.

In the article, which was published on Sunday, Ruwaida and Kaplan also called for a retrospective investigation into Säpo's surveillance of Muslims in Sweden.

Jihad and the Collapse of the Swedish Model

I decided to write this essay following the riots in Malmö this weekend. Malmö is Sweden's third largest city and by far the worst city in Scandinavia when it comes to Muslim aggression. I read recently that an Arab girl interviewed in Malmö said that she liked it so much there, it felt almost like an Arab city. Native Swedes have been moving away from the city for years, turned into refugees in their own country by Jihad, not too different from the non-Muslims in some regions of the Philippines, southern Thailand or Kashmir in India, or for that matter Christian Serbs in Kosovo.

Sweden was presented during the Cold War as a middle way between capitalism and Communism. When this model of a society collapses – and it will collapse, under the combined forces of Islamic Jihad, the European Union, Multiculturalism and ideological overstretch – it is thus not just the Swedish state that will collapse but the symbol of Sweden, the showcase of an entire ideological world view. I wrote two years ago that if the trend isn't stopped, the Swedish nation will simply cease to exist in any meaningful way during the first half of this century. The country that gave us Bergman, ABBA and Volvo could become known as the Bosnia of northern Europe, and the “Swedish model” will be one of warning against ideological madness, not one of admiration. I still fear I was right in that assessment.

Etta Albright, a member of the Altoona chapter of the national Peace Alliance, said she was "saddened" by what she called the negative impact and threat Hirsi Ali's appearance presented to the Islamic community.

"I sympathize with the Muslim community's concerns on what kind of inflammatory impact this could have on the community," she said.

That is why I'm always sceptical of anything with the word 'peace' in it. These days, 'peace' means appeasement of those whose manifest destiny is to destroy our civilization and enslave us. And that means the end of Western civilization itself if the 'peaceniks' get their way

Esman: Holland has been guilty for decades of a deadly silence, beginning with its pretense of ignorance about the death camps (in fact, it was recently confirmed that the Dutch were well aware of where the Jews were going).

Now the silence takes the form of a virtual exclusion of Judaism from its culture. Every Dutch child knows what Ramadan is. In the schools, even the Muslim children dye Easter eggs and are taught about the Second Coming of Jesus. But these are people who think of Pesach as "Jewish Easter," and have no clue what it means. Their Easter breakfasts include matzoh, bagels, eggs and bacon. They've never heard of Chaunkah. Why? For many Dutch children, a Jew is someone who lives in Israel and is at war with the Palestinians. That's all.

And for Muslim children, that last part is the most important definition of "Jew." It makes Jews the enemy. And so some even threaten teachers who attempt to give lessons on the Holocaust. Shocking as that is, I think the Dutch feed the problem by not educating their children - Dutch-Christian or Dutch-Muslim -- what Judaism is, who Jews are. They simply pretend we don't exist.

By the time the great "progressives" in this country pass laws that protect Americans and all from HATE speech, words that incite hate or riots, Ali will be guilty not only in Sharia law, but by US statues as well.

Once laws of this ilk are passed by well meaning but totally ignorant individuals, the Islamists will insist upon prosecution of Ali as an immigrant whose sole purpose is to incite the public against the ROP by lies.

It will be the ROP's that persecute through the legal prosecution of the law. Coming to a legislature near to you.....soon.

“It’s a very merciful religion if you try to understand it.”

Since 911 we ALL undertand it perfectly.

If only we ALL understood it perfectly. There are far too many useful idiot buffoons out there - amongst them our leaders - who, unbelievably, still maintain that it is a religion of peace after 911, Bali, Beslan, Luxor, London, Madrid, Mumbai, Southern Thailand, the Philippines, 59 years of waging constant war against Israel and 1,400 years of constant warring with the entire infidel world - murdering over 270 million infidels in the process. Throw in probably another 100 or 150 million of their fellow Muslims, and you have on your hands far and away the vilest and most bloodthirsty cult that has ever existed in the history of mankind. Everything else that exists or has ever existed before are mere novices in the murderlust stakes compared with Islam.

And Belgium is even more liberal in their firearms laws.

What have you been reading?

Actually, I live in Belgium and this is mistaken. Their firearm laws were liberal up until the last decade or so. I inquired as to how I might go about obtaining a license and the process was ridiculous. They conduct a complete backround check that could take an indefinate amount of time, I would have to be certified in gun use, and as far as I could understand I would not be permitted to have it concealed. That's close to a ban and is much worse than most US states.

Holland's Deadly Tolerance


How Dutch tolerance has boomeranged

The phenomenon of exaggerated, irresponsible Dutch tolerance has manifested itself most clearly on the soccer field. "Hamas, Hamas, Jews to the gas" is probably the only new Dutch expression to become internationally known in the last decade.

Over the years hundreds of thousands of Dutchmen have heard this standard anti-Semitic slogan sung or shouted. It was already being chanted in football stadiums in the mid-Nineties.

The Dutch authorities failed to act, and so this and other anti-Semitic hate songs spread to society at large, and even across the border to Arabs in Flanders.

After years of Dutch inaction non-Jews are now also being targeted by these hate slogans.

Gigantor - Huge jet-propelled robot on the Japanese sci-fi cartoon GIGANTOR/SYN/1966. Set in the year A.D. 2000, Gigantor was the world's mightiest robot originally designed for warfare but whose powers were later harnessed for peace. It was remotely controlled by a twelve-year-old boy named Jimmy Sparks. Gigantor's theme song describes its mission: "Gigantor the space-age robot, he's at your command...Bigger than big. Taller than tall, quicker that quick. Stronger that strong. Ready to fight for right...against wrong." A full color update THE NEW ADVENTURES OF GIGANTOR debuted on the Sci-Fi Channel in 1993. The TCJ Production/TransLux series was based on the comic strip Tetsujin 28gO (translated: Iron Man No. 28) created by Mitsuteru Yokoyama. See also - "Johnny Sokko's Flying Robot"

Hey, Gigantor! How does it feel to be controlled by a 12-year old boy? Have you met Michael Jackson?

Here in the Netherlands, anyone can own a firearm. I live in the country, and rifles, etc, can be purchased. If you want a handgun, yes, you undergo a background check by your local police department, and you need to be a member of a gun club, but it's not a long process.

How different is that from the US background checks?

I could well be mistaken about the law in Belgium. It's known as a problem that Dutch people simply cross the border and buy there to avoid our laws.

I could well be mistaken about the law in Belgium. It's known as a problem that Dutch people simply cross the border and buy there to avoid our laws.

Belgian companies, mainly in Liege, produce a lot of guns still and they sell them to everyone, including our Islamic enemies. They may sell them to EU member citizens without problems, but with the latest gun laws, I even doubt that.

The important question is: can one obtain a permit to carry in Belgium or Holland? You want this because if you have defend yourself or if some cop stops you, you have to have the permit or face heavy penalties. I found it nearly impossible to get one of these. That is not at all the case in most US states. Belgium and Holland, to my understanding, basically follow the EU's mandates on gun control.

A False Prophet will deceive a great multitude...........I hope some muslim is reading this a starts questioning their beliefs? They should be saying to themselves "Something's just not right about islam."

Muslim............trying reading the Christian bible and see how different it is from your Koran and Haddith. Kind of like Good vs. Evil. (try to guess which one is the evil)

Our God never said it was ok for Jesus to marry and 6 year old and screw her when she is 9 years-old. But your God, who you call allah, did say to your prophet that it was ok for him to have and consumate his marriage with a 9 year-old child. Just look at a 9 year old and tell me if you believe this is something GOD would condone.

#275 Tasty Beverage: I think this is a tactic of the future for these imams, whereby they don't deliberately come out calling for a death sentence on someone, but they know and their followers and anyone who knows about Islam, know full well it is intended as an 'encouragement', as if there were a fatwa on the person involved.

Does any legal Lizard know if there are grounds for challenging such thinly-veiled murder threats (sorry for the pun, no humor intended)?

This is yet another manner in which sharia, as a parallel legal system is being brought in and this is also why I believe there should be a serious legal challenge to Islam in the courts in order to open a debate about reclassifying it as an ideology, removing its charity status and urging proscription. (His implied threat is a form of jihad, technically, and also an indirect attack on freedom of speech and religion. Pity she's not yet a citizen.)

Frank and Anita began to believe that their daughter would be better off dead. “She kept throwing up milk that was fed through a tube in her nose,” said Anita. “She seemed to be saying, ‘Mummy, I don’t want to live any more. Let me go’.”

Eventually, doctors agreed to help the baby die at seven months. The feeding was stopped. Chanou was given morphine.

“She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death,” said Imam Fouad ElBayly, president of the Johnstown Islamic Center.

Did Ayaan Hirsi Ali defame Islam? To tell the truth about Islam is not defamation. The Imam and his fellow believers in the USA have a problem. Since US law doesn't permit the execution of muslim apostates, more people will hear their criticisms of Islam and will reject Islam. If imams want to convert more people to Islam and keep current muslims from leaving the faith, they will have to come up with convincing Apologetics for Islam and I can't think of too many reasons why a woman would want to convert to Islam except to marry a very wealthy and handsome Muslim man.

Americans may be "bumpkins," but at least our society finds something wrong with euthanasia for babies and in general on demand for anyone who wants it. Holland to allow ‘baby euthanasia’

It always amazes me that people will not hesitate to take a pet suffering from a painful, debilitating, and terminal disease to the vet and have it put to sleep to spare it the agony. And then they think it is immoral not to want to stand by and watch your own baby suffer from the day it is born to the day it dies? Somebody please explain the logic behind this, because I do not get it.

And in the same vein: what is wrong with denying a sane, grown-up person the right to die when he wants to? If they want to die they kill themselves anyway, the messy way in front of a train, for instance. Very nice for the train driver...

I think the title of the thread is a bit misleading. As linked earlier: Author braves Islam's wrath to speak

Imam Fouad ElBayly, president of the Islamic Center of Johnstown, feared her mere presence would incite violence. He said that in the eyes of the Islamic community, Hirsi Ali's rejection of her Muslim faith and "all of her lies" warrant a death sentence.

He worried that someone would try to carry it out.

"I'm trying to control my people here. I don't want people to get hot and cause trouble," said ElBayly, whose community includes an active core of about 30 families and a number of others who attend occasional services and programs.

"We have no capacity to execute a sentence, but her sentence would be death for turning on her religion to make a profit and for speaking out against it."

Not much better , but I'm just sayin.

#294 infidel4ever

The questions over euthanasia would take a long time to discuss, so I will just try to point generally to a few arguments. Euthanasia is an attack on morality itself (in the basis principle that a human being's life is an unconditional good). This core principle that all life is sacred must be held without exception and it is never man's place to take away this life, for we do not see all ends for this life and we do not know what further significance this person's life may have.

There are cases when suffering may be so intense that the treatment for the pain will result in ending the person's life, as would the disease. In such cases, it should be understood that the intention of the doctor is not to end the patient's life. But this is not euthanasia; this may be about letting someone die. It is a fundamentally different thing.

The Judeo-Christian values system calls us to a Covenant of Life, not a Covenant with Death and this is non-negotiable. But euthanasia violates that principle directly. Now, some citizens may say (as the majority of people do in Western Europe): 'this is not my values system, do not force it on me or deprive me of my constitutional rights'. This sword cuts both ways. By forcing a secular set of values, in which euthanasia is legal, the entire society is called into moral complicity with this act, which is of the utmost abhorrence to the Judeo-Christian values system because it is an assault om life itself. This question, therefore, is ultimately up to the people do decide, because the Constitution does not rule on moral values.

The recent cases in Holland and Belgium, in which euthanasia have been carried to the extent of killing depressed patients and killing babies with a physical or mental defect, shows the disturbing slippery slope that occurs when we begin to exclude the people's moral values which forbid euthanasia from the public sphere. It is inconceivable that parents would kill a mentally disabled baby or even a baby that is suffering, because this life is something that does not belong to the parents.

There is perhaps something deeply disturbing in the comparison between animal and human euthanasia, as if there can ever be a comparison between the two forms of life. Human life is fundamentally different from animal life and the notion of euthanasia is in essence a license to kill. It is therefore the responsible of a society as a whole to see that no such practice becomes legal. Our Founding Fathers declared that "life" is an inalienable right. Unlike in capital punishment, in which the person forgoes their right by murdering another, there is no moral basis to violate this unconditional right because of judgments made by people that this life is not worth living. The inviolable principle of life must never be compromised.

We are having a very difficult time recoginizing that the nation of 7th century cave thugs, islam, has declared war against western civilization. It's not limited to Christians, Americans, or capitalism.

Looking back, I don't ever remember those calling for "tolerance" making the case that "not all Nazis are bad" or "not all Klansmen are bad"; that it was only a "tiny minority" who were giving the broader organizations a bad name.

I believe the time has come to recognize that mo's religion is not compatible with western civilization.

These cave thugs need to be given one-way tickets back to their medevial homelands. Let them conduct their sharia law amongst themselves. If they want to train their children to lop off each others heads for petty offenses, so be it as long as they play only amonst themselves.

We should make it explicitly clear that their actions will not be tolerated.

America is not mo's territory. Never was. Never will be. No one forced these pathetic neandrathals to come here.

“She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death,” said ElBayly, who came to the U.S. from Egypt in 1976. ...

She was born into Islam. Apparently, she has no option to leave.

El Bayly is advocating Ali's death. Should she be murdered, he would be culpable. To encourage the death of a resident of the US is itself criminal. Deportation proceedings against El Bayly should begin immediately.

Another Pittsburgh love affair: Ho Hos
By Dan Majors, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

Nutritionists say that snack cakes, loaded with their hydrogenated fats, polysorbate 60 and sweet dairy whey, have a shelf life of a century.

Not in Pittsburgh . In our town, these things -- particularly Hostess Ho Hos -- are lucky if they last a week in the cupboard.

Hostess, the Kansas City-based sweet snack maker, yesterday announced that Pittsburgh leads the nation in per capita consumption of Ho Hos, the Swiss-rolled cakes with the spiral of creamy filling, coated in icing.

The chocolatey achievement was publicized as part of the company's 40th celebration of the tubular treat.

According to Hostess' data, the company produces 100 million Ho Hos a year. Pittsburghers pound 1.51 Ho Hos per person per year.

The only cities that come close are Buffalo/Rochester (1.39), Cincinnati (1.37), and Cleveland (1.15).

But nobody believes that these things are any part of a healthy diet. Sure, there are "Nutrition Facts" and a list of ingredients on the back of the box, but if you're standing in the aisle reading those, who are you kidding?

Calories per cake: 130. Calories from fat: 50. Saturated fat: 4 grams. Vitamins and calcium are dutifully recorded at 0 percent.

"Another of the things about many of the snack cakes is the hydrogenated fats that are in them," Ms. Bonci said. "From a health concern, that is not quite so fabulous. It's because of the cream. It's not really the cakey part, it's the creamy thing that does people in.

"Nobody is thinking while eating a Ho Ho, 'Hey, this is like eating fat on a steak.' But it's really the same thing. The arteries aren't discriminating."

But they're so good. The grocers are only giving us what we want.

This is a sign of people not very secure in their convictions. The biggest threat to their hold on their cult followers is a thought. Notice they even term here books and films as "attacks". These are the same people whom we are constantly told to engage in conversation with, to achieve an understanding. I understand their "religion" perfectly.

331 siiras  Sun, Apr 22, 2007 8:20:58pm

Islam is a one way street. No way out except death or living in fear of your life with bodyguards if you can afford them.

Islam disallows all criticism. Penalty is again death for both Muslims and non-Muslims. Islam is the only religion that requires non-believers to follow its edicts. Any criticism by non-Muslims is labelled Islamophobia. This ploy suckers too many people too much of the time. The same crowd that vociferously denigrates Christianity suddenly tiptoes around Islam giving it undeserved respect.

Note the imam double-speak. He incites a sense of injury in his followers on the one hand, and even specifies that Ms. Ali deserves death, then pretends to be trying to "control" their supposedly justified wrath. The implied threat is always there...followers of Islam are on such a hair-trigger that they may pop off on anybody at any time for the slightest perceived offence. The solution presented is never for them to control their primitive urges (killing, rape, burning down buildings) but to avoid all offence. Unfortunately, this is impossible since all normal Western freedoms offend them.

Islam is a Catch 22 for the West. It abuses our precious freedoms to tyrannize.

As for "Gigantor", self-identified as a Dutch Jew who sees Muslims as a threat in his country and elsewhere, what trumps all the other identifiers is his European garden-variety anti-Americanism. He just can't help himself. The poison of anti-Americanism that infects all European countries except those recently freed from communist shackles destroys all logical reasoning and even survival instinct. Gigantor openly despises the country that is the last refuge for Jews, disaffected Muslims such as Hirsi and his fellow Dutch who are leaving the sinking ship that is his beloved Netherlands. His last act as his own neck goes under the scimitar will be shaking his fist at America...

The important thing is to get more people to read about this, and see what's really happening, when anything looking different from the propaganda they've been fed won't get a second glance. Folks will read an article about their religion, but couldn't give a damn about someone else's -- why should they care?

Leaving a reader with the message that Islam says Hirsi Ali should be punished with death, while other religions would just say "Oh, well" to criticism is an important message more people need to hear.

It was weird

Just as an FYI any correspondence should be directed to the Johnstown Police Department or the PA State Police. This would be out of the Pittsburgh Police's jurisdiction as Johnstown is a seperate municiplity and about an hour+ drive east of downtown Pittsburgh.

Also, interesting that the Pittsburgh Tribune Review is actually a very conservative rag. Imagine how this would've played on Al-Guardian or the old grey lady.

My apologies to all.

It -is- extremely frustrating here. It's like swimming up a waterfall at times, the little victories you get, the quiet agreements, and then you get criticised because we haven't quite gotten it all just 'right'. Just yet.

At least we're trying.

BTW, 'kutje bef' is an extremely insulting and vulgar thing to say. Or write. Yes, it might be Vlaams, but we do understand it.

277 Yes, the very same place. And most of us are ashamed. As we should be.

292 Nej, det var ikke mij.

318 Thank you, Charles. I'll be watching my 'P's and 'Q's.

324 Point taken. Apologies.

337 So are we.

#341 gigantor, good to see you decided to keep posting. Anything people have to add to lgf from around the world is interest and valuable. My 324 wasn't written just for you:-)

Thank you, Roger. The Dutch rep will hang about :-) In the backgrond.

While Hirsi makes Rushdie look like a prankster, the bloggers here makes Hirsi an ant.

Well, almost correct. I think my small nation -is- lost. I wish it weren't so, but that's the way it goes, eh? We'll twitch a bit, but...

Probably, not while I'm alive, but while my girls are, or their children are, for sure. And no, I wasn't dumping a load a manure on your country. Really. I actually like and love the US. I've spent a great deal of time there.

And thank you for your compliment on my english skills. Many of us can read and write English. Part of the curricula here.

I say it's time to arrest and deport Fouad ElBayly.

I live in Pittsburgh, and go to the University of Pittsburgh main campus. Sadly (but predictably) the University didn't publicize this event at all.

That having been said, Johnstown is over an hour away. I think the Flight 93 crash site is technically closer.

Meanwhile, Sheryl Crow strikes a blow for women's rights around the world:

Americans may be using less toilet paper, if Sheryl Crow has her way.

The singer, who is crossing the country on a biodiesel bus with producer Laurie David, proposes limiting toilet paper use as one solution to global warming, according to a Washington Post report.

"I have spent the better part of this tour trying to come up with easy ways for us all to become a part of the solution to global warming," she wrote April 19 on the Biodiesel Bus blog, according to a report by the Washington Post. "Although my ideas are in the earliest stages of development, they are, in my mind, worth investigating."

Her toilet paper manifesto would limit how many squares of toilet paper Americans use in a sitting.

"Now, I don't want to rob any law-abiding American of his or her God-given rights, but I think we are an industrious enough people that we can make it work with only one square per restroom visit, except, of course, on those pesky occasions where 2 to 3 could be required," she wrote.

Crow also floated the idea of a removable "dining sleeve" that could replace the use of paper napkins.

Re: my comment #309 - I received this response this morning:

This is very cool. I'm going to email Jody, and thank him for his responsiveness.

Further to my #349 - I just noticed that Jody cc'd his email to me, to 3 people in the Pittsburgh city government. I just emailed this back to Jody, cc'ing all three:

To the Imam:

...and when that happens, Islamic hamface, you better watch your back...and your front...and your sides.

Of course, since he probably uses only one sheet of t- paper (if he uses any), the libs should love him. I hope he uses his left hand to shake the liftie's hand.

It’s a very merciful religion if you try to understand it.”

No thanks. I'm just about positive that my head would fall off from twisting it into position in order to understand Islam as 'merciful".

On the other hand, I once heard a Rabbi explain that the old Hebrew definition of mercy was an 'extra measure of time' given as a gift from God.

Now, that mercy I can spend a lifetime contemplating, thank you very much.

If somebody complains to the FBI about this incitement to have Ayaan Hirsi Ali killed, will they visit Imam Fouad ElBayly?
Or does that only work when CAIR complains to the FBI about material that CAIR finds objectionable?

355 mudmarine  Tue, Apr 24, 2007 6:43:51pm

Just a test.
