Skeptical Moroccans look hopefully to Islamists

Embittered by unfulfilled promises, Mahbou has decided to vote in September 7 parliamentary elections for a party that has avoided grand promises -- the moderate Islamist Justice and Development Party (PJD).

Sure, they're moderates.

"All the political parties have plundered Morocco's riches," says Kenza Niyari, 52, a housewife wearing a headscarf and loose djellaba robe.

"I have no confidence in any party but if there's one that commits to enforcing true Islam, it'll get my vote because we have failed to follow Islam properly and ended up backward."
...
Voters seem unconcerned by the PJD's vagueness. Indeed it may even be a strength as it allows the party to attract people with varied religious and political convictions.

Nothing will be vague when you vote them in.

capitualtion should be......capitulation PIMF

Yes, but a lot needs to be DONE. Talk is cheap in these instances and the enemy responds only to actions and force. Otherwise, they have no respect -and no fear- of us at all.

Oh Lutefisk
by Red Stangeland last verse by Robert L. Lee

[Sung to the tune of 'O Tannunbaum]

Lutefisk... Oh Lutefisk... how fragrant your aroma
Oh Lutefisk... Oh Lutefisk... You put me, in a coma
You smell so strong... You look like glue
You taste yust like an overshoe
Put Lutefisk ... come Saturday
I tink I'll eat you anyway.

Lutefisk ... Oh Lutefisk ... I put you by the doorway
I vanted you to ripen up ... yust like dey do in Norway
A dog came by and sprinkled you ... I hit him vit an army shoe
Oh Lutefisk ... now I suppose
I'll eat you as I hold my nose.

Lutefisk ... Oh Lutefisk ... how well I do remember
On Christmas Eve how we'd receive ... our big treat of December
It vasn't turkey or fried ham ... it vasn't even pickled spam
My mudder knew dere vas no risk ...
In serving buttered lutefisk.

Lutefisk ... Oh Lutefisk ... now everyone discovers
Dat Lutefisk and lefse makes-Norweigians better lovers
Now all da vorld can have a ball ... you're better dan dat Yeritol
Oh Lutefisk ... vit brennevin
You make me feel like Errol Flynn.

Lutefisk ... Oh lutefisk ... You have a special flavor
Lutefisk ... Oh lutefisk ... All good Norwegians savor.
That slimy slab we know so well ... Identified by ghastky smell
Lutefisk ... Oh lutefisk ... Our loyalty won't waver.

Lutefisk...Oh lutefisk...When my poor heart stops beating
The pearly gates will open wide, I'll see the angels eating
From steaming platters of the stuff, and there will always be enough
O piece of cod that I adore, O lutefisk forevermore!

Swedes find underwear contest pornographic.

STOCKHOLM (AFP) - A competition launched by German underwear maker Sloggi to uncover the world's most beautiful bottoms has been slapped down in Sweden after media protests against the "pornographic" event.

"Alas, our goal of finding the most beautiful backsides has been misunderstood by certain sections of the media" in Sweden, the German firm said in a statement Tuesday.

Several Swedish newspapers have slammed the competition as a pornographic event. The company had invited women and men to send photographs of themselves in their underwear which would then be put to an Internet vote.

Wasn't it Sweden that, not long ago, was considering their major fraction of demographic in the future being Muslim and speculating as to what changes needed to be made to accomodate it or something along those lines? Or was it Norway? In any case, the difference is nominal; Scandinavia is the most liberal place in Europe. You know, the most liberal place in an entity which is already worryingly liberal.
Not to take the plaudits away from this episode of bollock-showing, but I fear it's more of an anomoly than a trend.
That and coupled with the fact that all of the Scandis I've met on the interwebs - to the extent you can meet anybody in that sense - have all been anti-American, anti-Israeli, pro-Philistine &c. But like I said, maybe it's just Norway. (Didn't the Norwegian government deal with Hamas recently...oh, nevermind - I think we all did...)

re: #52 Perplexed Don't know if you're still on this thread or not, but I had the very distinct privilege and pleasure of representing Raoul Wallenberg's (much) younger brother in a business transaction.
His brother and I spent a great deal of time together - frequently "dead" time while waiting for the other side to consider our counter-offers - and I asked him about his brother. He admitted that he had only "hazy" memories of him, but he was enormously proud of what his brother had done.
He was also, apparently, initially surprised when he first heard of the "Hero" status of his brother for, as he said to me, "Raoul did only that which any decent man would do under those circumstances."
He also told me (this was some 20 some odd years or so ago) that his entire family fully and completely believed that Raoul was alive and being held prisoner by the Soviets for reasons he could not fathom.
Raoul Wallenberg was a genuine hero in every sense of the word and it does us all good, I think, to remember him from time to time.

The U.S. promised to help Sweden militarily in case of a Soviet attack against Sweden. As a consequence of this Sweden and the U.S. signed a military-technology agreement. In what was known as the "37-annex" Sweden received access to advanced U.S. aeronautical technology. The access to large amounts of U.S. expertise made it possible to design and produce the Saab 37 Viggen much faster and cheaper than would otherwise have been possible.[2]"

re: #149 realwest

re: #52 Perplexed Don't know if you're still on this thread or not, but I had the very distinct privilege and pleasure of representing Raoul Wallenberg's (much) younger brother in a business transaction.
His brother and I spent a great deal of time together - frequently "dead" time while waiting for the other side to consider our counter-offers - and I asked him about his brother. He admitted that he had only "hazy" memories of him, but he was enormously proud of what his brother had done.
He was also, apparently, initially surprised when he first heard of the "Hero" status of his brother for, as he said to me, "Raoul did only that which any decent man would do under those circumstances."
He also told me (this was some 20 some odd years or so ago) that his entire family fully and completely believed that Raoul was alive and being held prisoner by the Soviets for reasons he could not fathom.
Raoul Wallenberg was a genuine hero in every sense of the word and it does us all good, I think, to remember him from time to time.

I would hope that Raoul if he's alive would be released soon for there is no reason to keep him imprisoned. I've seldom encountered anyone who has a true brush with both history and greatness as you have. Thank you for mentioning him and your encounter with his brother.

Reinfeldt has a long record of not standing up to, or taking a stand for, anything that might become controversial, so this is really quite a shocker!

Fredrik Malm on the other hand is, despite his young age, a long time fighter for freedom and democracy. I've heard him speak at several pro-Israel demonstrations and he really is a Good guy.

Btw, Malm isn't actually a member of the government, but rather an MP for the governing majority.

It's about time someone in Sweden stood up to the Muslims. I visit the blog Gates Of Vienna quite regularly and the stories are usually quite depressing.

At least it's much better than the statement by Jens Orback, Minister for Democracy, Metropolitan Affairs, Integration and Gender Equality from the Social Democratic Party said during a debate in Swedish radio in 2004 that "We must be open and tolerant towards Islam and Muslims because when we become a minority, they will be so towards us."

Do we call that 'preemptive surrender'?

Or the report on Jihad Watch about Sweden..

re: #152 Perplexed I doubt that you're still around what has apparently become a "dead thread" but I will only say that it was truly my pleasure to share that - it brought back memories for me that are very precious indeed.
As to Raoul, I believe I've read that he was in fact killed in a Soviet jail. It was within the last 5 years or so that I read that and I'm sorry I don't have any links for it, but you might try Wikki to search for him.

re: #150 realwest

Check out one more step backwards - the Draken is also an interesting aircraft. Turns out Austria still operated them until 2005 - not bad considering it's a fighter (not a utility plane such as an air-lifter, which have more durable designs) whose manufacture began in 1955. Apparently the Draken-Viggen-Gripen trio are all pretty innovative crafts.

(Not to give the impression that I'm an aircraft enthusiast, or anything, just another Wikipedia junkie)

Speaking of this, this links begs to be included:

And for good measure (unfortunately, the article doesn't quote the ridiculous boasting from the Iranians over this feat):
[Link: doubletapblog.com...]

All in all, the Iranian flaunting of their incredible prowess serves to reassure and comfort me about the upcoming future conflict.

re: #152 Perplexed In furtherance of my posts above, I have to confess to having been in error when I said I represented Raoul's brother; indeed, the person whom I represented was Raoul's first cousin. Mea Culpa.
As to Raoul, " In 1957, responding to diplomatic pressure, the Soviets announced that Wallenberg had died of a heart attack in 1947 in Lubyanka prison in Moscow, but this has been disputed."
[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]
Again, I apologize for remembering he was his brother when he was, instead, his first cousin.

re: #77 Fellay Timi

Sweeden does have a bit of a muslim problem though.

The local youts will be unimpressed with the cartoons no doubt

Don't we all?

Interesting part, besides demographics, is the part when firefighters arrived to try and save a burning mosque they were attacked by stonethrowers... maybe the imam wanted to collect on the insurance...

Man.. Those responses from Sweden are BEAUTIFUL. More people should grow a pair as big as those. Well done, Sweden!

I smell a spine there. In ancient times, the spine was... even different:

"And in the shock of the battle the men of the North seemed like a sea that cannot be moved. Firmly they stood, one close to another, forming as it were a bulwark of ice; and with great blows of their swords they hewed down the Arabs. Drawn up in a band around their chief, the people of the Austrasians carried all before them. Their tireless hands drove their swords down to the breasts of the foe."

re: #37 Randband

Isn't this a conservative party government in Sweden?
I fell off my chair reading this. Nearly spilled my coffee.

Yes. About a year ago they elected their first conservative government for practically ever.

Anyway, here's a Danish hooray for our Swedish brothers.

Realwest, thank you for the clarification. It shows that you have ethics. Never in a million years could I have ever verified what you said. Yes, I heard about the '57 statement and never believed it to be true. Several survivors of Soviet prisons/camps said that they heard a non Russian speaking to them and with the descriptions they gave it might have been Raoul.

My Swedish father would have been very proud if he were alive to hear this.

It's a race to see which European city and country become majority Muslim first and the Swedish city of Malmo and Sweden itself are both in contention.

It has been a puzzle why the Swedes first of all let such large numbers of basically the opposite culture to their own pour into their country and onto the welfare rolls. Because of the strong Swedish work ethic, their overly generous welfare was not too badly abused in the past but now since the Muslim/Arabic immigrants have a much weaker work ethic and giant sense of entitlement (people may have noticed but it is politically incorrect to speak of it) the Swedes are being swamped by parasitism.

The politico cited in #154 reasons incorrectly that if they treat Muslims well now, then when Swedes are INEVITABLY a MINORITY IN THEIR OWN COUNTRY, they will be well treated by their Muslim rulers (apparently the man is history illiterate and does not understand dhimmi second-class status). Islam is the only major world religion without a form of the Golden Rule. They will never return kindness for kindness, but run roughshod over their welcomers as they colonize the host country.

There was another Swedish politician whose "solution" to the quadrupled rape rate (mostly Muslim immigrant men raping Swedish native women, links provided by Fjordman here previously) was that SWEDISH WOMEN SHOULD START DRESSING MORE MODESTLY.

In fact, there are Swedish women who now wear a hijab out of fear in Muslim enclaves of their cities.

Though the lesson in free speech to Muslims is welcome (where were the Swedes in solidarity when Denmark was suffering the exact same harassment?), it may be a case of too little too late, unfortunately.

This extinguishing of nations that have been net contributors to world knowledge and aid and supplanting diversity by a benighted culture that has made all the countries it dominates failures both economically and on the humanitarian scale is a terrible, terrible thing. Why did the Swedes (and most European nations) do this to themselves?

re: #165 siiras

This swamping of European nations with the alien presence of Islam and Moslems has happened by deliberate design of primarily socialist governments. They have used this cult exactly because, as you pointed out, it is so completely antithetical to Western foundations. Their goal was to destroy the basis of the West (Judaeo-Christian and centered on individual rights) in order to erect their own Socialist world order. It's a way of confusing people about their own culture's worth, their own identity and history in order to implant a notion of 'globalism'.

Islam isn't the main enemy: what it shares so clearly with Socialism/Communism/Nazism is a world order to be obtained through violence, subjugation and mind control, all of which begins with demeaning and denigrating freedoms of speech and belief.

Sometimes I'm just so proud of Scandinavia... Not too often but now.

My country (Denmark) was the first to play in this field and now our 'broderfolk' in Sweden joins in... Most excellent!

I'm hoping our prime minister will voice a strong support of the freedom of expression and the swedish prime ministers stance in this matter.

I always thought Sweden's flag was a yellow cross on a blue background. This flag looks pale green.

Perhaps they burnt so many Israeli and American flags they ran out of blue?

"Iran should change their own press laws and not try to change ours."

I nominate Swedish MP Fredrik Malm for "Anti-Dhimmi of the Year Award" right now ...

It really screws these people up when the "blasphemy" comes from unexpected sources.

The burning flags are rubbishy bedsheets colored with crayons. The effigies look like badly stuffed pinatas or a school kids "penny for the guy" effort.

Someone should cater for these people. There's good money to be made from Muslim rage.. A service that can supply a petroleum-infused flag of any nation, a professionally produced effigy of any celebrity or even a coherent banner - within 24 hours of any blasphemy, will be quids in.

Mazal-Tov!

"There is no reason to keep quiet about this question. One must be crystal clear that in Sweden it is not the government that decides what appears in newspapers. Iran should change their own press laws and not try to change ours."

Excellent!
