the peaceful youth of islam

Wed, Aug 7, 2002 at 7:10:03 am PDT

Tal G. linked to a site that advertises itself as “a resource guide for Muslim American teenagers,” called ClearGuidance.com.

It may be the most disturbing web site I’ve seen yet.

Muslim kids talk about school, their parents, the best way to stab Jews, and which decapitation video is the coolest.

SERIOUS WARNING. This is really bad stuff. One of the pages contains a Quicktime movie that proves these kids are not just fantasizing. They really are trading snuff films.

This is self-described “jihadi” Ibn Musa, lovingly relating how he’d slaughter an infidel:

EA..oKay..and hey....when u DO i.then DO it soo badly that he spits out blood and and starts crying really badly...stab him till da muslim blood from his abdomen comes out ...and ....ermmmm....lets make this more freaky....hey CUT his head off .... i mean like not FAST....i mean cut it in a SLOW MOTION....and let him shout ...cry....and do anything he wants lol......then leave him alone...on the floor....let the blood come out from his THROAT...+ ABDOMEN....and yea yea yea...lol.... and wait till he dies okay....when he dies....then give him a KICK and tell him that it was from IBN MUSA lol...hey we dont want kumo sis or anyone to faint while lukin at theyr own thread rite?...so ST OP it here man..lets do this in DA BRO AREA .....

“Da bro area” seems to be a private thread. I don’t even want to think about what’s in it.

There’s a disclaimer at the top of each page:

The staff of ClearGuidance.com does not necessarily agree with the posts of every user, nor do we advocate or endorse all of the posts on this message board.

But on their “Announcements” page, the first announcement from the board’s Admin contains this inspiring message:

We need youth to fight in the way of ALLAH in Kashmir, India, Chechniyah, Afghanistan, Philistine, and wherever we are being oppressed. Leave your plans of al wahn and adopt a new plan which will help the ummah, do not be selfish, this life is cheap, whereas the life of islam, will grant you your desires in this life and the next life.

In one of the threads, these demon children discuss their fear that the FBI is monitoring them. I sincerely hope they’re right.

UPDATE: James Lileks has some great thoughts on what this shows about the flavor of Islam these kids are taught. And by the way, the odds are overwhelming that their Islamic education was sponsored by our good friends in Saudi Arabia.

"Islam is a religion of peace"

This slogan is so at odds with observed behavior,but I've figured all this out now.

"Islam is a religion of peace.....of the grave"

2 AG  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:27:08am

Charles,

If there is any we (the folks @ LGF) can do something grassroots (there I go sounding like a leftist) to get word of this vile hate out to the public and raise the awareness of what is going on under our noses, I would like to participate and I am willing to give small amounts of funds to do so.

Sorry for the run on sentence. I am in a rage...

3 Alfred E. Neuman  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:38:41am

Has anyone forwarded a link to the site and to Charles' post to major news outlets (including Fox)?

It would be amazing if this could be put out in major media. Americans would flock to the site to see, and would be horrified--which is something people desperately need, because the "Islam is a religion of peace" crap is still being spread. All the people not sure would get sure right quick if they saw this.

Of course, the owner of the site will bring it down instantly, but if enough people read it, and if anybody starts saving pages, the mission wil be accomplished: exposure of these hate-filled freaks and their religion.

We need to get people checking out that site before the owner realizes and brings it down.

The enemy within, folks.

4 NC  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:40:27am

AG, I'm also willing.

A mere day after Colin Powell embarrasses himself by phoning the Saudis to reassure them that in no way does the U.S. government consider them an enemy, the Sauds flip us the middle finger:

[Link: www.washingtonpost.com...]

Enough.

5 jeff  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:46:20am

I'm surprised that this is the first time you've heard about the site.

The quotes you posted are disturbing. But, what is even more disturbing is that I have noticed a lot of people on there who say that they are from Western countries like the U.K. and the U.S.

I hope that their suspicions are right, and the FBI is monitoring the site.

6 J Lichty  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:47:14am

NC we can use Saudi land whether they like it or not. We may just have to make a pit stop in Riyadh before we go to Bagdad.

7 jim m  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:47:20am

Does anyone know who operates Clearguidance.com? Where does this site originate from?

If it's outside the US I would be very surprised if they took it down. Why should they? Heck, I hope they keep it up so all the anti-American lefties can see who they've been supporting all this time.

I found this link last night. It's beyond words.

Again we are deafened by the silence of the so-called moderate muslims. Their claims that these are fringe elements are sounding more and more like Arafat's condemnations of terrorism. They likely condemn sites like this one while they write their checks to "charities" sending money to suicide bombers.

Would it be wrong to blow up that address?

10 Robert Crawford  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:52:43am

The important thing here is to point to the site and say, "How does this square with 'the religion of peace'?" Do your absolute best not to say it should be shut down. As disgusting and pathetic as it is, it's an excellent example of what's happening. We should use it as Arab News has been used -- to highlight the hatred, violence, and evil being promoted by the radical Muslims.

If, however, this site can be connected with any act of violence -- even a fricking mugging -- then it should be shut down and its owners bankrupted and jailed.

Charles, in re your comment on the other thread, I don't see what's so suprising about this. We know the Saudis have been funding this crap in the US -- and you know their money's behind this -- and as far as I can tell, there have been Islamist terrorist groups operating in the US for a few decades. White and black separatists and various other cultists are able to raise their kids hating the US while taking advantage of its freedoms, so why not Islamists?

11 edgarthomsa  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:56:44am

I email O'reilly at Fox about this site. I urge others to email the media about this (fill in your own response)

12 denise  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:57:21am

These kids sound very American to me, and very stupid (which makes them no less dangerous, of course).

It makes me wonder about the kind of web sites Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold (sp?) were visiting. I bet this is an Islamist version of the same kind of thing. I would further bet that most of the kids on there are just mouthing off (and I know that a whole lot of teenage boys get off on really sicko, vile, depraved stuff). However, if just a few of them are prepared to act, that is a few too many.

The major news outlets and Congress should definitely be notified, and if the FBI doesn't already know about this, then God help us all.

I watched that decapitation clip last night and noted that it, if not the whole website itself, is the most vile thing I've ever seen on the Internet. Isn't there a law about disseminating snuff films in a public forum?

15 Eric the CR  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:01:35am

denise,

It's not hard to imagine that the German kinds in the 1930s had similar things to say to one another. While not all of them became cold-blooded killers, this type of indoctrination allowed them to become desencitized to what was going on. These kids are future Hitler Youth or, more appropriately, Osama Youth.

16 gershom  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:02:07am

and then...and then.....and then I would cut the infidel's head off and like spit on it and stuff and cut off his hands and stuff. that would be soooooo cool.
oh and then I would like say that islam is cool and stuff and like america and israel suck. then I would like rock out to Jay-Z and Britney. I mean, unless I killed them because they are infidels.
and also when I was done like defeating the infidel armies, I would like make myself the like prezadent fur life and shit and like impose islamic rule on everybody else just like in sudan and iran so that the rest of the world could like be as cool and advanced as they are.
mess with the halal flowers, get the thorns! peace out.

17 Q  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:03:58am

These kids sound very American to me, and very stupid (which makes them no less dangerous, of course).

Here is a great essay (from last fall) about exactly this connection.
The key quote:

While the anti-American animus in this immigrant community is deeply troubling, are not these young people reflecting back to us the very attitudes we told them to adopt–a sense of entitlement without any sense of duty, and the right to protest "bias" and "hatred" without any corresponding responsibility to show loyalty to the country? Like mainstream students, the Muslim youngsters are allowed and encouraged to indulge in blatant denial of facts, to flout rational standards of truth, and to be ignorant of American history.

18 Wrangler  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:07:43am

Where in the hell are these kid's parents. Are they allowing their children to become steeped in this hate? I see messed up kids everyday, but this kind of language takes the cake. It is the most hateful and selfdestructive thinking I've seen. I'm a big believer in Free Speech, but the explicit threats contained in the site crosses the line.

Hmmm... I'll stop my mirroring for the moment. I might start it up again, but I don't want to be accused of trying to use all their bandwidth.

20 Gregory Litchfield  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:10:40am

Charles,

I've been an avid fan of your site for some months now. I made the mistake of watching the video on the Clearguidance site of the Russian soldier being slowly decapitated...

I think I'm going to be sick. I have never, in all my life, seen something so depraved and revolting. Worse still was the nonchalant attitude of those vile fiends Clearguidance. One poster actually had the intestinal fortitude to claim that reveling in that kind of filth only gives Islam a bad name, and that if the shoe were on the other foot and they were watching videos of Jews executing Muslims, they'd be up in arms.

The response? A big, "Well, we're the true religion, so it's OK." One poster questioned the doubter's manliness. Another claimed that it was actually for the good of the poor Russian soldier, since he would be saved by Allah for having been killed by a Muslim.

I used to despise people of this sort, but now I feel something even stronger. I cannot even describe what I feel, just that it is something even more powerful than blind rage. These people need to be wiped from the face of the Earth.

Ironically, the video may be their undoing. The look on the face of that man as his throat was slowly cut open is something which I will probably carry with me for the rest of my life. I have no shame in admitting that I have a weak stomach for gore, and this was probably the worst I've ever seen.

When I was at Army Airborne School during my ROTC days, I saw a female cadet lying on the ground, her spine compacted after landing incorrectly. She was already being attended to by medics, so I continued to run back to the recovery area. I've felt horrible about having seen that ever since. This is far worse. I think virtually anyone who sees this video, provided they aren't a militant Muslim, would feel the same way.

Spread the news of these people across the blogosphere. Once it hits enough sites, the regular media is sure to pick it up. I intend to e-mail it to National Review right now. I'm sure Goldberg, Derbyshire, et. al. would be interested in seeing just how depraved someone can be. Get it to Alterman, see if he will pressure MSNBC into doing something on it. For God's sake, make this atrocity, and the starry-eyed reaction to it, known to as many as possible. Let the American public see just what we are facing. Let them see that there is no middle ground to be found with these vermin. Let them see what could happen to them one day, simply because they belong to a "false" religion and a "decadent" culture.

Jim M is correct: where's the condemnation to this sort of atrocity from the so-called moderates of the religion of peace? The Arab news media, if they are even deserving of such a title, daily exhort the killing of infidels. When will we wake up from our Oprahfied national slumber and finally realize that these people want nothing more than to kill or forcibly convert us?

21 Dave  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:12:38am

I was trying to find some info about that clip and came across this piece, which I thought was worth sharing. Always amazing how different people react to the same thing.


unknown russian soldier

so young.
he looked so young
and so afraid.
i wanted to help him but i couldn’t,
was watching his demise long after it’s appointment.
the soldier, grainy black and white on the screen – thank god no red
no red – a boot on his face, cheek in the dirt
eyes knowing even though
no doubt
the fight or flight response still rippled through his limbs.
he knew.
i knew.
the knife slid cleanly into his throat and
i
became empty.
this was the first time i had seen death.
i’m inside out, wretched, appalled as much at the
hand that held the camera without shaking
as at the hand that wielded the blade.
a lesson in the anatomy of disgust; it’s no comfort that my sickness
proves my humanity.
he was someone’s son and he was scared.
i am turning my heart inside-out in an effort to bring him back but he will never taste tears again.
how the meaning of death must have left these people long ago.
they were able to do this. how were they able to do this?
i am a coward.
couldn’t watch to the end. he had no choice. i did.
i was afraid.
i am still afraid
shaking
retching
crying
moaning.
for now this stranger’s death is the greatest tragedy in the world.
i wonder how long it will take for this feeling to
cease.
as he did

Looks like a fake address. According to Mapquest the address is almost directly under the overpass.

If i was the FBI i would check this out for sure. Looks like a good place to put a bomb to blow up some morning trafficers.

23 AG  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:19:27am

Folks,

I am trying to get one of our local Talk Radios to take notice of this site. If need be, I will lead the charge in this fight.

contact me with any ideas.

24 Jonathan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:20:37am

The snuff clip is the single most disturbing image I have ever seen in my life. The idea that these kids consider it not some sort of tantalizing forbidden fruit, but as a major theme in their lives (and several of the posters note that this is only one of many such films they have seen), is the height of barbarity.

I've forwarded the links to Best of the Web where hopefully they will meet a wide audience. It may be worth alerting the FBI to this site, since the whois info is all American. I don't know that they're doing anything illegal, but let the feds figure that out.

25 Eric the CR  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:20:56am

Blogwatcher,

Mapquest doesn't always show the right place and there are plenty of shops uder overpasses in NYC.

26 jackbertin  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:25:39am

Like many other people that have already commented, I watched the video and read most of the posts on that thread. Like others, I have that rage-like feeling as well.

But it is not rage. It is something different. These people know what rage is and we see it when we are shown footage of the "Arab street." It is explosive, fiery rage.

What we feel is something different. It is not a fiery hate inspired conflagration in the mind. What we feel is cold. Cold steel hardening of our minds and hearts. It is like in a Clint Eastwood movie such as Unforgiven or Josey Wales where you see his jaw tighten and his eyes narrow and you know that people are going to die. This is what this does to us.

Unfortunately for them, they don't understand this about us, and when they do, it will be too late. They're signing their own death sentence.

27 Cowardly Pundit  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:28:24am

Re: #3, yes, I said last night (on another thread) that it would be a good idea to alert the BBC, NYTimes and the other leftie papers about this. After all, one mans "Freedom Fighters" are a sane man's total freakin' lunatics. I'd like to see their editorial boards take a "stab" at reconciling "peace loving muslims" with this vile spew.

San Fran Chronicle would be a good place, too.

San Jose Mercury might actually run with it.

Focus on:
Snuff Films
Islam/Muslim youth in the US and UK
Killing Jews
Staten Island

and couch your emails respectfully.

28 Alfred E. Neuman  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:29:29am

Jack,

"They" are here, and they are American and Canadian citizens. They may go to school with your kids.

29 John-Paul  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:31:03am

Ive seen alot of shit, but that murder made me sick to the bone. Those people are vile animals and they deserve to be crushed! I hope that soldiers comrades kills tons of those jihadis.

I hate to play gas half empty guy, but if the "mainstream" (read: networks beside fox and newspapers beside WSJ) won't even outright condemn the actual murder of Jews, why would they give to shits about some kids merely talking about it.

Until the "mainstream" world sees that killing Jews is not justified, we have nothing to talk about with them.

Sorry, I'm a bit cranky today, but if all the garbage spewing from the Arab World is nothing but peaceful desperation to the liberal self-hating journo's then this will not raise an eyebrow.

A storm is brewing and either they will be with us or against us, Bill Clinton's rifle be damned.

32 jackbertin  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:33:06am

Alfred

I don't have any kids, I'm 22. Yes, I know "they" are here. This is why it is even scarier. At least Israel can build a wall.

33 Amy  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:35:24am

I confess that I can't bring myself to click on that link; I don't want to see this stuff. I couldn't watch the Daniel Pearl video, either. I just can't.

And I don't need to see it to know how barbaric and dangerous these "people" are or what a threat they are to civilization, democracy and culture everywhere. The Muslims who enjoy the freedoms of the West (which are utterly unattainable in Islamoland) consider us weak; they are laughing at us as they turn our strengths against us.

The FBI better be monitoring this stuff!! If not, the inescapable conclusion is that they are so clueless as to be useless, and that's a scary thought. I've heard that the FBI is "helping" investigate the bombing at Hebrew U., as if the Israelis need our "help" in this regard. We could (and should) take lessons from them.

As far as I'm concerned, every single Muslim who is not a citizen of this country should be immediately expelled and no additional visas granted for any reason whatsoever.

And every child living in the U.S. should be required to take courses in civics and American history; their abysmal ignorance is an embarassment.

34 Wrangler  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:37:15am

After more thought, the Atty. Gen. in NYC should be contacted. Clearly, the site contributes to the deliquency of minors. Hopefully, pursuing criminal charges against the site will give a wake up call to parents everywhere.

35 gershom  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:40:40am

I didn't watch the videos and didn't read all of their idiotic comments. I don't have to to know that these are not people who can be reasoned with. How do you tell a depraved moron that killing innocent people is wrong? There's only one way to deal with these savages. Ask Israel how.

36 Jonathan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:42:38am

If you "backtrack" the link to the jihad video to go one level up in the directory, there are a number of other disgusting videos -- one of a man being impaled, another of a man being pulled apart by the arms. I don't encourage anyone to watch them, because they're gross and because there is nothing to be gained from it (although the glee on the faces of the impalement audience is a good clue as to how the clearguidance kids feel about this). The point is simply that the video linked to from clearguidance.com is not an anomaly for these people; they are openly captivated by human dismemberment.

37 Laurence Simon  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:42:58am

This is why I look at "Israelis are to blame for Palestinian kids being fucked up and sick" articles as USA TODAY ran yesterday and just laugh laugh laugh.

The parents, terror-community, religious quacks, and quasi-state are screwing up these kids in all different directions. It will be interesting to see in 10 to 15 years what will happen when these hundreds of thousands of psychotics gets slow-released into what's left of the world.

38 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:43:53am

I hate to play gas half empty guy

You make a good point, but this is America. Lots of Americans are used to chilling things in the Muslim world. Not emanating from Staten Island though.

39 Eric the CR  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:48:42am

40 Cowardly Pundit  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:50:06am

To #37 - send a letter to the editor of the USA Today with this URL, then.

41 Jonathan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:52:14am

Some guy named Behz Khan posts a few comments at clearguidance asking if maybe, upon serious reflection, it isn't such a good idea to watch this stuff, and gee, what would we Muslims say if there was a Jewish site like this? Here's the answer he gets:

"Behz Khan, the difference is that Islam is the Truth and Judaism is Faslehood.

We fight and kill for the sake of Allah alone and so that Islam may be raised high and Disbelief may be made low.

They fight for Kufr and Shirk and against Allah.

Your concerns would be valid, if the two parties were equal. But they are not."

Let's be clear. It is not a religion of peace. It is not a religion of tolerance. It is opposed to every single value that a liberal democracy holds dear.

42 denise  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:54:38am

"These kids are future Hitler Youth or, more appropriately, Osama Youth."

That points out something really scary. These kids think Arafat is too soft, and an OBL-type should lead the Palestinians.

But I still think there is a segment of American youth that wants to be outsiders and be rejected by mainstream society, so they can bitch and moan about their oppression (a la Eric and Dylan's trench coat mafia). What serves better right now than radical Islam? It's certainly more nonconformist than goths; and the black clothes and make-up are so 5 minutes ago. Remember the kid that flew a plane into an empty building in Tampa (I think it was Tampa)? It wouldn't surprise me if some of the kids on here are just posers, not really even Muslim.

Again, not to discount the danger. JWL started out as a poser too, and we all know how he ended up. Radical Islam is a dangerous cult, and its violent imagery is especially appealing to adolesent boys. (As I said before, many teenage boys get off on this stuff; snuff films are not an Islamist invention.) It also offers structure and rules to kids who have been raised without them.

There are other dangerous cults out there too. They all are working the internet now. All parents should be very careful. (Maybe that's the line to get mainstream media to listen.)

43 Dan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 6:54:54am

I have not looked at the site (there are limits to what they tolerate here at work), but is it possible that this is a put on job to provoke this reaction?

Note that I do not think so at this point. The FBI has shown itself to be clueless - and I do not think the CIA or NSA is all that swift in this area either. Perhaps Mossad, but even there I think they are behind the curve on technology.

I only as the question because the site is everything that is bad distilled in one place. It is almost a caricature of what we think Islamofacists would be like.

Kind of like the whole Germans eating Belgium babies in WWI.

Of course, they did worse in things in WWII....

Still, I felt the question needs to be asked and addressed.

44 denise  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:00:43am

Dan -- I was waiting for someone to say "Maybe it's the Mossad," but I didn't think it would be anyone here!

Get real!

"It is almost a caricature of what we think Islamofacists would be like."

So is Arab News! They don't mind being caricatures, as long as Hollywood doesn't creat them.

45 Wrangler  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:03:51am

I just left a message with the StatenIsland Richmond County District Attys Office with the youth violence coodinator. We'll see if she calls back.

46 Gabe  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:04:01am

Likewise, I'm willing to contribute cash to any effort to "out" this vile, evil religion that is creeping into the US and has mostly taken over Europe. We are allowing ourselves to be taken over without a fight.

47 Eric the CR  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:07:25am

Dan,

Are the video caricatures? We think what we think of them becaue of what they've done. Remeber the Danny Pearl video? Was that a fake, too? What about the video from Kabul of people being shot in stadiums?

48 Robert Crawford  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:09:23am
They don't mind being caricatures, as long as Hollywood doesn't creat them.

Pretty good! I'd rephrase it a bit, though:

"They don't mind being caricatures, so long as no one notices."

It's when you notice that the accusations of racism and bigotry start.

49 AG  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:10:07am

With all due respect. Sorry for sounding this "weird"

Let's all send Little Green Footballs a little bit of dough and start there.

I have contacted Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham and some local radio shows.

I am going to be the persistent mofo my sales job has taught me to be with all of them.

This is where the campaign should begin. And we should be screaming loud and clear to all: Do not mess with the USA!

50 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:10:21am

I still think there is a segment of American youth that wants to be outsiders and be rejected by mainstream society, so they can bitch and moan about their oppression (a la Eric and Dylan's trench coat mafia). What serves better right now than radical Islam?

This is true, Denise. But you have to consider that this is a part of their cultural heritage. I know we like to make distinctions between "Islamism" and "Islam", but in truth Jihad as "war against the Infidel" is a storied part of Islam's history. I'm not saying one cannot point to instances of different emphases on other interpretations, historical instances of tolerance (including modern Turkey) etc. In fact we had better make distinctions, because Islam is not going away. We have to work with whatever bright rays there are.

But you have to realize that these kids aren't tapping into some loony tune death cult exactly as a screwed up kid getting into the Aryan Nations would be. We can't dismiss it that easily. There is at least some element of authentic Islamic culture here.

As far as the kids themselves, I see them basically as similar to victims of child pornographers; involved, but becuase of adult exploitation. It's not a 14 year old who set up this site and "taliban-news.com" and I doubt the admins and moderators are children.

52 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:13:04am

I have not looked at the site (there are limits to what they tolerate here at work), but is it possible that this is a put on job to provoke this reaction?

No. It's a dynamic message board. You refresh the page every 10 seconds and there are new threads, comments, questions etc.

Also the posting style by the many members is impossible to imitate precisely, sort of how it's really impossible for an adult to authentically imitate the crayon drawings of a kindergartner. These are young teenagers for sure.

Seems to me them Texans may not appreciate their local businesses aiding and comforting terrorists. Anyone up for some letters to the editor, etc?

I mean free speech is one thing, but this site surely crosses the "shouting fire in a crowded theater" test, does it not?

"But you have to consider that this is a part of their cultural heritage."

James, What I'm saying is I would bet a few of these kids are not Arab, but are about as WASPy as you can get.

Still, you'd be right in that part of the cultural heritage in 2002 WASP America is (1) parents not paying a lick of attention to what their kids are doing; (2) kids being taught that if it feels good, do it; (3) violence as entertainment; (4) the attitude that all cultures are equal and that intolerance is the only thing not to be tolerated (even intolerance of the most cruelly intolerant).

By the way, I agree that violence is part of "mainstream" Islam to a much greater extent than most people realize.

56 AG  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:18:20am

57 Cowardly Pundit  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:19:08am

Re: #53, no, it's not fire in a crowded theater any more than Aryan hate sites are.

It _is_ however, the publication of obscene material, incitement to riot, and a handful of other things.

This coward will sit quietly at his desk and encourage you to call the DAs office, and every reporter you know.

58 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:20:26am

James, What I'm saying is I would bet a few of these kids are not Arab, but are about as WASPy as you can get.

Okay, I didn't get your point.

That could very well be true. I doubt John Walker Lindh is the only American apple pie kid who turned on to this stuff.

59 Paul  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:22:03am

60 BH  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:23:55am

Get the word out. Websites like this are the best form of recruitment that other religions can hope for. 1,000 Christian missionaries working for 1,000 years wouldn't be able to convince people as thoroughly as to the repugnance of Islam as this website. Before anyone starts ranting as to anti-muslim prejudice, I come from a muslim background and things like this make me thank God (not Allah) that I didn't have this chauvinistic BS force fed to me growing up. Islam means peace, but the "peace" it means is not the peace of democratic nations living in harmony. It is the peace of repression of the majority by the few interpreters of the faith. It is the peace of a regressive society of misogynistic, insecure pedophiles bent on destroying what they cannot understand. Whatever Islam may have been in the past; a haven of learning and tolerance, it is obvious that it is that no longer. Islamic hegemony is the goal of any and every good muslim. That is what is taught while you're going up. Islamic hegemony is surely the death knell of Western Civilization, tolerance, science, free and intelligent women, The Simpsons....pretty much anything worth living for.

Get the word out.

61 Jonathan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:31:25am

AG, I'm not an internet guru, but I would guess the following from the various whois info that's been posted:

1. The domain -- the actual site -- is set up and run by the guy in Staten Island, NY.

2. The web site guy has to get his server space from somewhere. It looks to me like he gets his server space and support from the outfit that's down the street from you in Houston. In other words, the local outfit is just a web hosting service.

3. I infer #2 from the fact that the actual IP number blocks are assigned to the Houston outfit. The domain name clearguidance.com -- like lgf.com -- is just a monicker that points your browser to an IP number (e.g, the numbers listed at the end of post #53). Since the Houston outfit owns a very large block of IP numbers, they must be a hosting outfit -- i.e., someone that lets you set up a site by posting your material to their servers and having your registered domain name point to whichever of their IP numbers they choose to assign to you.

Bottom line -- Everyone's Interenet is probably a harmless outfit. It's possible they are an exclusively Muslim web hosting service, but I doubt it.

Charles, can you or anyone else confirm my read of this?

62 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:33:09am

63 Doug Stewart  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:33:16am

From page 6 of their "discussion":

Brother Behz, there is worth in such videos, which can be seen simply by taking Ibn Musa's example. Living in the West, we are taught to be 'wimps', not to be able to stand the sight of blood or 'gore'. How are such muslims to go to the battlefield and kill those who oppose Allaah and His Messenger? How are they to do such acts in real life if they cannot even bear to even watch it on a screen? With increased exposure to such scenes, we become desensitized to the fear of blood which has been instilled in us.

Secondly, there is nothing wrong with watching these videos and talking about them as we do, if this too increases our tolerance of such acts and incites us towards them. Whether or not the Kuffar talk about what they do on the internet, rest assured that they do much worse to your very own brothers and sisters.

I have never, ever even considered gutting a Muslim like a fish, slitting a Muslim's throat and rejoicing as I watch his lifeblood seep onto the ground. Viewing this "culture" on display has made me ill to an extent that I didn't know was possible up to this point.

Thirdly, it is pathetic for us to 'complain' about jews boasting and locing to watch videos of mujahids getting their throats cut off, because this is their nature. It is like complaining that a dog wags its tail when it is happy. We cannot expect anything more out of them, so we should spend our efforts combating their kufr rather than complaining about it. Less talk, more action.

I would suggest that we stopped worrying about issues such as, what makes us different from the Kuffar. The difference between us is the difference between the heavens and the earth. Anyone who cannot see this needs to check themselves and their beleifs. As HammerStorm said, the very fact that our actions are dictated to us by our Creator, Allaah, and theirs are dictated by their desires and the Shaytaan in itself is enough.

I am speechless. This typifies so much of what is wrong with Islam(ists), it isn't even funny.

64 Jonathan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:35:18am

AG -- further to my last post, the point is that Everyone's Internet probably doesn't even know what clearguidance.com is.

But perhaps, if you let them know, they might not take a shine to it -- and they might just boot clearguidance from their servers.

65 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:36:09am

Lets continue with our investigation, shall we:

Here is a contact page for the Internet hosing company:


[Link: www.ev1.net...]

The parent company is Everyones Internet, Inc.

I'd love to look up their registration information with the Texas Secretary of State, but they charge for their search of business records.

69 gershom  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:41:09am

Jonathan:

Everyone's Internet appears to be an innocent hosting service. For example, EV1 also hosts Laurence Simon's pro-Israel blog at [Link: users2.ev1.net...]

These animals may be in other parts of the country. I hope the FBI knows where.

70 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:42:26am

I think Denise was positing that.

Upon reflection I wouldn't be surprised.

For example, there was a kid who posted a single photo of the Kabaa stone in a thread, title "Kabaa" with a nice happy smiley.

Now, I can't say for sure, but as a religious Jew I can't imagine a Jewish kid in touch with his religious heritage posting a picture of the Western Wall without comment and a smile; unless he's new to it. To me it seems as if that person was excited about it, like it was fresh to them. That's not to say the poster isn't a Muslim, or a longtime Muslim. But maybe not. The likelihood that John Walker Lindh is the single American kid to become attracted to this sort of thing is small.

There are sections with questions from obvious "beginners" etc.

However it's certain that many or most of them are Muslim and Arab. I've noticed some are self-identified Pakistani, some Palestinian etc.

71 Robert Crawford  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:43:40am

Hmmmm... this just got mentions from Glenn Reynolds and Jonah Goldberg. If they thought 278 visitors was a lot...

72 Hawkish in Colorado  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:47:12am

In response to the above,

Yes... I think it is likely that Everyone's Internet is simply the hosting company, although I would bet the entire site goes against their terms of service.

The hosting company looks to be above board, but some searching has turned up some really ironic things.

For example, the company apparently joined forces with the Jewish Community Center of Houston to put on a community service event.

[Link: www.ev1.net...]

I doubt they have any idea of the noxious stuff on their servers.

That address has to be bogus. I've never heard of "RearMont Drive," and I grew up in Staten Island, a walk of about maybe 10 minutes to the spot where MapQuest says the supposed "Halal Flowers" is. (Question: Why the heck would _flowers_ have to be halal? That would be like selling kosher ferns and daisies, no?)

Called the phone number. Got a message referring me to eaglevoicemail.com, so if the number ever did work, it was just a mailbox.

It is odd to me that someone would pick Staten Island to use as an address. Yes, there are lots of Arabs there these days, but 'round these parts it seems the militant ones all live in Jersey City and thereabouts.

Shall we fuck with them, then (e.g. by posting abusive remarks)? Or do you have to register to post?

I did see a comment posted by a guest, unregistered.

I see no utility in "fucking with them". First, you will not convince anyone of anything. Second, I think it'd be best for the site to stay up as long as possible. It's not as if they're planning terror attacks on the board. But what they are doing is providing support for the notion that Houston, We Have a Problem. I think as many people as possible should see this, before the site dissappears.

By the way, where's Jak King and the like to explain to us why it's OK for kids to discuss gutting humans for Allah?

76 jeanne a e devoto  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:53:24am

AG, if I were in your location I might consider printing out a few of the pages, walking down to the office, and (politely! of course) asking whether they really want to host this kind of thing.

It is entirely possible, however, that they have a policy of non-interference with content of sites they host, which I respect. Hmm. here's their AUP:
[Link: www.ev1.net...]

It says, among other things: "You may not use your hosted domain site to publish material, which EV1 determines, at its sole discretion, to be unlawful, indecent or objectionable." I'm not sure how they'd feel about it.... but you could make them aware.

77 Robert Crawford  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:55:27am
By the way, where's Jak King and the like to explain to us why it's OK for kids to discuss gutting humans for Allah?

Jak's busy finding a white supremacist site to "prove" that America's no better. It really shouldn't be taking him this long -- after all, they're his favorite sources to cite.

78 Mike Morley  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:55:38am

What to do? How to get the word out about these miscreant Mohammedans?

LGF and Tal G. are already doing their part, flagging this stuff to the Blogosphere.

I picked this up from Lileks this morning (I always have Bleats with my coffee) and sent a "Tip" to the WSJ's Best of the Web.

You, too, can help get the word out. Tip "BOTW," send links and letters-to-the-editor to the Times, the Post, the McPaper (USA Today), the Cleveland Plain Dealer; whatever your local publication is called.

Send links and screen captures to the White House, Secretary Powell, Secretary Rumsfeld, your elected representative.

Facts are stubborn things. Bombard leaders, "opinion makers," and thoughtful people you know with the truth, and they will, eventually, get it.

Delinda est Sa'ud!

79 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:55:53am

I honestly don't think getting the site closed will be any kind of victory. Victory would be increasing awareness that such things exist -- here -- and beginning to deal with that problem. Making it go away won't "make it go away".

80 Desert Vet  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:56:13am

Looks like they're getting a lot of attention, indeed. The main page, as of about 5 minutes ago (12:50pm EST) showed this:

82 Jim Burton  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:59:58am

I doubt that most of the kids posting to this site are WASPs – James Lileks had a link to a discussion about honor killing – whether two brothers were justified in murdering their sexually active sister – the question wasn’t whether they should have done it, but whether these brothers should have waited for the proper authorities to ‘take care’ of her (the murder occurred in Jordan, where honor killings are not considered to be a serious crime)

Here is a sample of how the clearguidance kids responded:

…………………
AssalamuAlaikum warahmatullah wabarakatuh

Zareenah, it's the authorites in an Islamic country who must apply the appropriate punishments; for the common people to do it would lead to fitnah and civil disorder.

There are no Islamic countries today, merely Muslim countries.
……

salam

That what I thought, if the authorites actually gave the correct punishment then we wouldn't have these problems, where the families member take it upon themsevles to punish.

97 Eric the CR  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:18:03am

James, Denise

If there are any non-Muslims on that site -- they would be a rarity. The posters have to much knowledge of the Muslim world, they use Arabic too frequently.

The beginners section is probably for those rediscovering their "roots".

98 Xslf  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:20:22am

a sample that cought my eye in the above thread:

My name is Ameena or Anne or Newsista or whatever you can think of! (Prefer Ameena though)
I am from London Ontario Canada but soon to relocate to Mississauga Ontario Canada inshAllah
I am 16 years old
I reverted to Islam 8 months ago Alhumdulillah.
And i got married 2 and a half weeks ago!

99 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:21:51am

Eric, I agree with you. It just wouldn't surprise me if there are some non-Muslim/ wannabes. Never underestimate some kids capacity to get into the sickest shit.

Obviously the vast majority (or even all) are not.

100 julie  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:23:13am

I'm a total spaz with how to email links, but Brit Hume - specialreport@foxnews.com and dennisprager@dennisprager.com (nationally syndicated radio talk show host (here in LA at KRLA) might be interested in the story. And while we're at it, can we send links to Robert Fisk, Cherie Blair and John Pilger? I'd love to see them explain away this one.

101 Tatterdemalian  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:23:51am

FYI, I seriously doubt the site is an anti-Arab prank. There are thousands of messages, from hundreds of distinctly different people. No actor has that kind of range, and it would take years for one person to make up that many messages.

102 Ian S.  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:26:03am

Indeed, EV1 is almost certainly not in on this, given that they host LGF's good buddy Amish Tech Support. Leave 'em alone until proven otherwise.

re: #33

Most children in America are already required to take courses in American History and Civics. I think those courses are bad, and are actually responsible for much of the shameful ignorance. For one thing, those classes are rarely any better than the media in terms of the content they select. The classes also cause kids to think US History is boring and something they already learned. If we really want kids to understand things, we should stop trying to shove pale approximations down their throats in the name of education.

105 Xslf  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:28:00am

A bizzare thread:
[Link: www.clearguidance.com...]

Question:
Salamz All my Lovely sisys in ISLAM! i really really really REALLY want to get married but im only 12 I want to be married SOOOOOO much
All you sisters whom are married U r luckyy i cant wait 4 whatever years I just wish i cud get married NOW!!!!!

Answer #1
Ya ukhti... let me ask u this... if u were to get married, is it permissible for u to? i mean have u gotten ur period... etc..

Answer #2:
Masha Allah sister you want to get married at such a young age
it's so unfortunate though that people delay their marriage

Another answer:
Dear Sister in islaam al ameerah May Allaah protect and preserve u - ameen

U are 12 , masha'Allaah and would like to get married , all the nasee7a above are wonderfull advice but my nasee7a to u comes as such ..

if u have hit bulugh (puberty u have become a woman and it is natural u begin to feal the need to be married protected and the feeling u want to raise children in an islaamic house hold , but many now think this age is to young for marriage which i strongly disagree. [...]

There some more reasnble answers there. but I still don't know what to make of this...

106 AG in Houston  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:29:23am

TO all @ LGF

You guys have been great. I am not kicking down any doors, yet.

I have passed on the information from "Hawkish in Colorado" to one of my best friends who just happens to be a "techie" for the FBI.

He is "fact-checking-my-ass" and will pass it on upwards.

Everyone's Internet is a popular domain in Houston. They have about 100,000 users here, including the JCC of Houston.

The JCC will hear from me, to be sure.

Those telling me that EV1 has nothing ot do with the website is probably right.

Our vigilence will pay off. Thanks again to all for their help.

107 Dan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:29:50am

To those who politely answered the question as to whether this could be a disinformation site, Thank you. I have not had a chance to see it ( I will do so tonight, if it is still up).

I did not think it was - that would be too clever - and cleverness is something that is woefully absent from our side in the war.

I will be interested to see if the effort to bring this to old media's attention will work.

One can hope.

108 Q  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:30:34am

From the looks of thier women-only board:
it seems that many of them are "burn again muslims"


Y'know, I'm at a loss what would compel an even marginally sane woman to convert to this so obviously female-hating creed.

After all, boys may be attracted to guns'n'guts, blowing shit up (including themselves) etc. But how women can be lured by the lifetime of wearing the mulch sack is beyond me.

109 Hawkish in Colorado  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:32:01am

Hi A.G.,

Assuming EV1 is innocent, best case scenario is that the Fibbies show up and install a packet shiffer and I.P. address collector on the site, learn the identities of the posters bragging about their membership / association with the "bad" guys, and kick some ass.

Or, EV1 could say... hey, we're not going to host this shit.

I wouldn't want to take money from these sickos.

110 M. Simon  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:33:07am

AG,

Do nothing. It is important that as many people see this as possible. Wait til EV1 sees this on the news.

111 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:35:25am

Another thing I noticed is the absence of any enmity between the posters. Has anyone noticed that? There seems to be a real sense of community there; and these are kids. they should be fighting, right? I guess that's a byproduct of channeling your rage and hatred outwards.

Absolutely, how does the saying go, "The converts are the most radical" or something like that!

It's a sad fact of Jewish history that some of the greatest agitators of antisemitism have been Jewish apostates. Bernard Lewis points out in an interesting book called [i]The Jews of Islam[/i] (about the Jewish experience in Muslim lands) that quite a lot of anti-Jewish and anti-Christian Islamic polemicism was introduced by Jewish and Christian apostates.

Conversely, some of the most memorable contributors to Judaism have been converts, such as the prophet Obadiah and a Roman noble named Aquila, known to Jewish history as Onkelos; translator of the Bible into an Aramaic translation that is widely used and respected to this day.

Just a fun fact. ;)

112 Alfred E. Neuman  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:36:32am

DO NOT fuck with this site. It needs to remain up and the way it is for as long as possible, so that the maximum number of people can see it with their own eyes.

I called my friend and told him about it. He didn't fully believe me--until I emailed him the link and he read it himself.

If it can stay up long enough for Fox or NRO or the WSJ to get on it, then we're doing well.

113 COKE ZB  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:38:22am

117 Ann  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:46:54am

I looked on the first page, one of the posters said this:

"i suggest the bros to perfect their marksmanship and use guns before the "big trip downtown" ahem..."

I hope the FBI is trying to figure out what that means.

118 Greg  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:48:25am

Came across this in the same disgusting thread: [Link: www.clearguidance.com...]

"but i do agree, to be stong muscularly is much better.. i think on that TV show, the Recruiters, they had a clip of Abu Hamza from London speaking of needing to workout and learn martial arts.. "

The user who posted that stated his location as Canada.

I am wondering what channel do we have a show called 'the Recruiters', this is really scaring me if they have access to this kind of televesion right here in Norht America.

They must have a satellite. I know that some parents of arab immigrants only allow their children to watch TV they get through satellite from Arab countries. Never realised those chanels had shows like that

119 Q  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:48:45am

It seems like women are as vocally violent as the men.

This may be true, but islamism doesn't offer them the same opportunity to gut infidels, does it? (A couple of palestinian female suicide bombers - "blow-up dolls" - notwithstanding.)

120 denise  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:49:13am

"Eric, I agree with you. It just wouldn't surprise me if there are some non-Muslim/ wannabes. Never underestimate some kids capacity to get into the sickest shit."

Exactly. I think we're all in agreement.

I was just speculating that they weren't all Muslim by heritage or nationality. The post linked in #93 seems to indicate that some of these kids are westerners from Christian families.

JWL's press coverage has to have caused some copycatting.

I would certainly imagine that most are of Arab descent, but living in the west.

122 J Lichty  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:52:03am

I'd love to see [Robert Fisk, Cherie Blair and John Pilger] explain away this one.

Since they are unlikely to respond here is how they would likely respond:

"America with its blind support of zionists and zionist controlled media have left these oppressed children with on outlet to vent their frustrations about all the Islamaphopia running rampant in the US."

These children are merely crying out at their oppressive government who continues to support the slaughter of their fellow muslims at the hands of the Apartheid, Zionist Nazi state.

Until the US reexamines its policies, it is understandable for these kids to hate. It is the only way they are free to express their frustration.

GET THIS STRAIGHT PEOPLE, this is horrible, but it is not the smoking gun everyone has made it out to be. The above mentioned idiotarians explain away murder, how is this anymore indefensible.

Islamic leaders in this country support the murder of Jews and most even support the murder of Americans, while our government crows about how Islam is a religion of peace.

When people are actually killing in a religion's name and no-one speaks out against it, how can we expect a backlash when people are just talking about murder.

The only people who are outraged by this are the people who think that Islam is not a religion of peace and that it is not justified to murder Americans and Jews for the crime of being American or Jewish or god-forbid, both.

Everyone who rationalizes suicide/homicide/genocide bombings will have no problems rationalizing this in the same way. They rationalize the far worse situation of actually carrying out these Jew-killing fantasies.

For God's sakes, we have nary seen a muslim leader in this country denounce the act of killing Jews and no one in the mainstream media and the government have called for them to do so. Rather quite the opposite, they try to shield these leaders from the duty to speak out by wrapping them in the mantle "Peaceful religion" and by giving them the benefit of the doubt even after they open their mouths in support of genocide against the Jews and Americans.

As outrageous as this site is, it is just not something that is as outrageous as supporting homicide bombings, which is commonplace amongst mainstream Americans, especially in academia, the media and the State Department.

I wish it were different, but everyone already knows that American muslims by and large support terror against Jews and to a lesser extent against America in general. How is this going to change any of that?

Until people are outraged by the acts described on that sickening site, they certainly will not be outraged by the mere description of it.

124 Tatterdemalian  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:55:06am

Q:

Not too hard to understand. Islam provides them with a totally planned life with no room for change. Wearing a burkha for the rest of their life, to some, is a small price to pay for such a sense of security. Freedom is scary for some people; it's the same impulse that led Russian defectors to re-defect back to Russia during the Cold War. Some people truly believe that freedom is just another kind of slavery, and that only in slavery can we feel true freedom.

Then there is the jealousy factor. Some women actually think that a world where all women are reduced to the same state of formless dark blobbiness would be a heaven on earth.

Islam attracts all sorts of people, but they all have one thing in common: they hate their neighbors more than they care about themselves.

125 BH  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:56:44am

126 Woty  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:58:42am

I don't think we ought to shut down sites like this. The people who want to go to sites like this and say things like that are not just going to go away if they lose a forum. It's better that people like this talk publicly than privately. Taking the forum away would be worse for us than it would be for them. We should take the opportunity to learn about them, criticise them, and inform people about the truth of the situation.

127 Laurence Simon  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:59:45am

Time to write them about their choice in customers afilliated with terrorist organizations...

128 denise  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 9:01:43am

J. Lichty -- You are right of course.

However, opening the eyes of mainstream Americans to this web site may be just the thing that is needed to opening their eyes to the atrocities committed world-wide in the name of Islam.

Most Americans believe, based on news reports: (1) Al Qaeda is a very small group and is completely out of touch with most Muslims; (2) there is a "cycle of violence" in Israel, and Palestinians are refugees without hope (they probably couldn't tell you which side is engaged in suicide bombing, or believe that both sides are); and (3) Islam, as it is practiced here, is a religion of peace.

11 months ago, I believed 2 and 3. I couldn't have told you what Al Qaeda was, so would have had no opinion on 1. Since 9/11, I have made an effort to get educated. Most Americans have not. Maybe finding out about clearguidance.com will wake some people up.

Worth a shot anyway.

129 Tatterdemalian  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 9:01:58am

FWIW, I also don't think they are just wannabees. New converts, possibly, but they know far too much about Islam (and far too much Arabic, in fact they even use Arabic ISO characters in many messages) to be merely clueless fanboys.

The comment about the "big trip downtown" is genuinely disturbing and should be reported to the FBI. Their online tip center is located at:

On the other hand, seeing as how the FBI didn't have time last year to read a memo from one of its own agents about Al Qaeda hijacking airplanes, I don't expect anyone will ever see our tip, let alone act on it. AG in Houston, can you call the comment to the attention of your techie friend?

I wonder how some of their regular customers would feel if the knew they were hosted alongside videos of Russian soldiers being executed??

Owner of meemsites.com seems to be a more or less regular poster at the most popular web hosting forum webhostingtalk.com you can find his posts here: [Link: webhostingtalk.com...]

Do you think potential customers should be aware of who owns the hosting companies and what sites they host?

140 Banana Counting Monkey  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 9:19:24am

So, the islamic terrorists have been carting camcorders around their adventures across Checenya, the balkans and the rest of the world. I am suprised, a moment's refection makes me wonder just why I'm so surprised. I guess it's just a logical consequence in our PoMo world of feeling disempowered and humiliated. Right, regaining your nonexistent masculinity by torturing people to death.

Anyone who wants to spout off about Britney Spears representing a degenerate culture, a culture in decline without morals needs to have this reality check.

Isn't it strange that I missed the websites of snuff videos taken by IDF soldiers during their massacres in Jenin? Oh yeah- there aren't any, despite the near universal access of Israelis to the internet. Gee, perhaps there aren't any.


I haven't felt this sick in a while. Seeing these people posting from Canada worries me immensely.

141 jimC  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 9:22:00am

Charles last night when reading "psycho death cult summer camp" thread and saw the link at Tal Gs site I went. I kept reading about this rushthroat video and actually thought these youths were just talking smack. Then on the last page of that board they actually linked to the video. If I hadn't watched it personally I would have never believed something like that is being used to recruit future jihad nuts. I should say being used in America. As sick as that video is I think more people should see it, along with the commentary by members of that site. I can understand you not wanting the link posted here but I do thank you for providing a forum where things like that video can be found and exposed.

I'd prefer that they were exposed to the public than for them to vanish without a trace, though.

Yes!! I agree completely. As much as Brittney really sucks, I'd rather have a million of her than a half dozen of these snuff film loving freaks. (But sadly we seem to have quite the infiltrated army among us.)
Interesting juxtaposition, I saw on PBS the other night an Israeli reservist soldier's video while he was in Jenin. He was interviewing his fellow soldiers, spilling his guts, as were they. And you didn't see one of them say, "Man, that Pali sure screamed when I bayoneted him! Aw, that blood gushed like the Jordan!" Or, "Well we are truth, they are lies, so killing them actually helps their souls in the end."
On the contrary, they bemoaned what they felt was a "Loss for both sides."
What a difference.

147 Charles  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 9:34:50am

Thanks, folks. I agree that more people should see this, but they should seek it out and know what they're getting into, and I don't want someone to follow the link from our site.

Another possibility is that they simply are not allowed to link to a site that features video of people being buchered.

On, more likely they are combing through for choice bits to bring to everyone's attention, or perhaps a more human reaction this evil- being sick.

Evil is the appropriate word for this site, for the views expressed on it. This is human evil on display. Evil and its eager acolytes gathering around to learn and give praise to it.

Saw that Instapundit picked this up. I'm sure World Net Daily would be interested if anyone can get it to them. The similar websites I came across after 911, many of which now appear to have been closed down, featured complaints about 'freedom of speech being taken away in the West'. The experts on the Middle East tell us that Islamists are angry because they feel "humiliated", as if we're responsible for making them feel humiliated when they're actually doing it to themselves. Damn, it's that (absence of) logic problem again!

162 jeanne a e devoto  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 10:11:20am

It may be worth noting that the video in question isn't actually hosted on the clearguidance.com site or its companion taliban-news - it's on some server in Finland.

I poked around a bit on that server, and it appears to be someone's personal site, of the punk-kid-with-a-website variety - there's no indication that the site owner is a Jihadist or a Muslim himself, just a directory with a few of these video clips in it.

169 John Bruce  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 10:35:20am

It's worth pointing out that the Clearguidance site has web ring graphics from presumably "respectable" Muslim sites/groups/whatever. It would be interesting to query these other groups on their opinion of the sentiments expressed on the Clearguidance site. Keep in mind that the various prestigious imams, muftis, etc. in Arab countries appear to be endorsing terrorism, murder of Jews because they are the offspring of pigs and dogs, etc. It would be most interesting to have "respectable" Muslim groups sound off on these issues. What does the Imam at your local Islamic center say about this? What is he prepared to do about it? What is the congregation prepared to do about it?

I think this may be an equivalent of the Zimmermann telegram (the blunder by Germany in WWI offering parts of the US to Mexico if they would declare war on the US) for Islam in the West.

Sorry to come back to the comment about the "big trip downtown" again, but combined with all the gun worship going on in those forums, it made me think of this article from a few weeks ago in the Village Voice. The item I'm pointing you to is entitled "Way of the Gun":

176 growler  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 10:58:40am

Halal Flowers does not exist.

I posted earlier about having grown up on Staten Island, close to where MapQuest says the "street" is.

Did some more poking around and found a site called oasisnyc.net. I was able to find a decent aeiral photo there. And what I suspected, turned out not only to agree with what I remembered but also was true.

Here's the deal: If you drive down Richmond Road and hang a left just after the highway overpass, you'll go past where Halal supposedly is. But there's nothing there except a grassy hill leading up to the expressway. I believe it's fenced in, but I could be wrong. Anyways, not a single building there; just trash.

Oh, to add a bit of disgusting irony, to your right would be a grassy median, on which is a very old monument to dead firefighters. That is catty-corner to Rescue 5's stationhouse. They lost everyone on 9/11.

177 addison  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 10:58:55am

It wasn't porn back then, just very weird pictures. I looked at for about two or three weeks until I was sated that some people are, indeed really, really weird.

Then I saw that video and that sealed my end of ever viewing Stileproject again.

Someone was speculating about "Taliboy II"s on the site. This thread

[Link: www.clearguidance.com...]

has a guy called "Sonic" who says "I have visited many afghanistan sites and heard views from all over the spectrum its very intersting. But what i liked about when i read into islam after sept.11 is its common sense. ", which given the site involved is rather scary (even more so that he's in the UK). He says in effect that he believes what he's read.

He's been reading "whatreallyhappened.com" (judged a "nice link" by the dubious local crowd) and says ""No offence taken! no i am not an athiest, i believe in the one god/allah the god of the muslims,jews,hindhus,athiests,christians i believe in all the prophets from moses to muhammed. I also pray and a pay my taxes. Thats about all!"

They'd be pretty happy if he turned out a jihadist. Their pet sheik quotes approvingly from a story about an American-born "martyr" in Kashmir: [Link: www.clearguidance.com...]

"After two and a half weeks I met back up with Abu Adam at the launching sector to prepare to infiltrate with him into the occupied valley. We were only waiting for our slot to carefully infiltrate the occupied valley of Kashmir to strike down and destroy the enemies of Allah, the vile Hindus and Sikhs from the Indian army...

We were firing old grenades that had been in storage for quite a long time. One brother shot the grenade and it simply shot out and landed about 3 feet in front of us (we were in one big crowd). After we had all dashed to take cover from the expected explosion that was only 3 feet away from us (it was a dud and never blew Al-hamdulillah) Abu Adam looked up at me and said, "We ran and didn't even remember Allah! What's up with us?"
....
Abu Adam and his team of brothers launched a bloody raid on an army post in the Doda sector in the Jammuu region. Reports indicate that out of the thirty four Indians killed in the action, Abu Adam was responsible for killing seventeen. Allahu Akbar!
...
After this dream, I received news that my good friend, Abu Adam had beaten me to our respective goal ash-shahadah fee sabeelillah. (Insha-Allah) I remember him saying to me once, "I want to get shot in the chest so that my soul doesn't leave immediately and I can prostrate to Allah on the battlefield before my soul leaves my body."

I cannot help but wonder if he got his last wish or not. "

All rather disturbing, especially as it's followed someone wishing their daughters will grow up to marry men like him.

I would like to see some discreet posters from LGF readership go there and post "questions" that will draw these people out. In particular, on the subject of whether they are fringe or mainstream, perhaps getting them to provide evidence from mainstream Islamic sources.

There was a comment somewhere on the website from someone who said (I paraphrase) "Remember, when the Mehdi comes, all this advanced technology is going to seize up, and we'll be riding horses and shooting arrows - but meanwhile we can use guns!" (No mention of how arrowheads and horseshoes will be made after the Great Day of the Ro-- er, after the Mehdi comes.)

Now I thought this was a Muslim heresy, but no one else in the topic seemed to bat an eye over it. A bit interesting.

197 Glen Wishard  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 11:44:31am

Don't count on any major media touching this thing with a ten-footer, boys and girls.

A few weeks ago, vile anti-Semitic displays were put up at a major US university. Yeah, so what else is new ... but "Nightline" actually did a story on it. The audience, though, was never shown the displays. Ted Koppel explained:

"The signs were anti-Semitic --- AND TO HAVE SHOWN THEM TO YOU WOULD BE ANTI-SEMITIC."

This type of logic justifies a lot of blindness on the part of big media, and is a symptom of what Mark Steyn called a "sensitivity coma". See no evil, hear no evil, and above all do not talk back to evil.

Another example - yesterday USA Today ran a silly headline story which blamed the murderous mentality of Palestinian youth on Israeli "occupation" and curfews. (They would not be interested in explaining why a boy in Canada would show the same bloody-minded pathology). The story included a description of Palestinian TV as being filled with funerals and dirge-like music. Not one word of mention of the Islamicist hate-speech that has been so well documented on this blog, and in so many other places.

Yet they eagerly chased the Jenin atrocity hoax, with many reporters (like CNN's Andrea Koppel) who were eager to swallow it hook, line, and sinker.

So if any of you has a congressman who can do squat about this, I'll move to your state and vote for him.

Not only are their camcorders and other high-tech toys and tools the product of cultures that can innovate and develop new ideas, unlike their own, but so are their weapons.

There's an old saying about not bringing a knife to a gunfight. The jihadis and wannabe shaheedis should study some history.

The culture with which the Arabs are warring does have some experience with developing ordnance. Chaim Weitzman, Israel's first president, was director of the British Admiralty laboratories and discovered and devoped a process for synthesizing acetone that greatly facilitated the development of high explosives. Also see the Manhattan Project.

For those who want to troll, you might ask about Sura 5:21.

It has Allah telling Moses and the Israelites to "enter the land which Allah has ordained for you". In other words, the Quran affirms that God promised the Land of Israel to the Jews.

Don't you know that the Jews are Khazars? From Poland?

I'm serious. You can't debate with fanatics. I'm sure some scholar of note has long harmonized what Sura 5:21 says with the situation here on earth.

For example, apparently Sharia says that land conquered by Muslims can't revert to non-Muslim ownership. So it may well be totally irrelevant that Allah ordained Palestine for the Israelites.

It may be that the Israelites were Muslims whereas post-Muhammad Jews are not and lost their right to the land (why not? Adam, Abraham, Moses, David etc. were all retroactively Muslim according to Islam). There are many, many things that can be said in rebuttal to something "iron-clad" like that.

I still think it's best to leave the board alone until it comes to general attention.

Shell, I would suggest the "ask an innocent question" technique if you want to bring out true feelings. Ask a provocative question framed in a non-provocative, and say you are truly looking for guidance in this matter - about age of marriage, wife-beating in Islam, or whatever you pick. There is no quicker way to get people to post from the heart than to ask such a question from the viewpoint of seeking info and guidance, rather than from the viewpoint of challenging their feelings.

Try to lure them into talking about material which may be related to shuhada (pl. for shahid) using all the crap of a Noam Chomsky and a John Bradley rolled into one with the slight touch of a devout Muslim. Better still, you can pretend to be a faithful reader of Arab News from Europe--a new convert. Ask them if they have ever enrolled in Abu Hamsa Al-Masri's weekend courses... Anything as long as it may be incriminating before the public opinion.

I have been on clearguidance.com, pretending to be a muslim and listening to their ranting. They had a private chat group where they were all exchanging information about themselves. They were bragging about wanting to be shaheeds, and dieing for Allah. Well, to be honest, it was not "bragging" as such, more reaffirming their commitment to do evil.

216 dinah  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 12:12:18pm

I emailed a number of media outlets about this. It's an astonishing forum/website. I can only hope that it receives a good 'airing out'--after all, the best way to quash these little terrorists is to provide a huge spotlight on their nasty comments. It's important for the general public to know that the religion of 'peace and love' is a little different just beneath the surface.

Just as Lileks did, the church and Sunday school I attended pretty much gave other religions no attention at all. It would have been unthinkable to mention murder, beheading, stabbing, etc., as a solution for those we didn't agree with. And even when we were hoping that the 'poor savages' would see the light, the way we hoped to convince them was thru schools, food, books, doctor visits,etc. I just can't imagine sitting in the basement of the Presbyterian church and plotting the gruesome and bloody death of the Buddhists or the Muslims or the Catholics or the Jehovah's Witnesses. The feeling was pretty much that, even though we felt we had a good handle on the spiritual life, those other folks were sure entitled to their beliefs, too. After all, this is America--where we ALL respect each other's right to religion and free speech..... Unless, of course, we're young Muslims trained and indoctrinated to hate everyone different and, if at all possible, reach heaven through taking out some of those despised Jews and/or Americans.

I realize 'teens' tend to puff up and show lots of bravado--but this is really appalling.

I guess I can't thank you and Lileks for 'making my day' this time!

I feel like a broken megaphone.

Listen, please don't troll. Don't pretend to be a convert; you'll be figured out in 30 seconds.

I am an Orthodox Jew. I know what a religious life guided by religious law is. I'd know in three seconds if someone was baiting me. If someone claimed to be a convert to Judaism and knew nothing about it (as knowledgable as the vast majority of us might think we are about Islam from reading some NRO articles and Bernard Lewis, I can assure you we know nothing at all). This isn't going to work. Unless you're doing this for cheap thrills, there's more than enough "kill the kufrs" material in there without attempting to bait them. Honour killings got your goat? They're discussing them. Shaykh Usama is a good Muslim or not? That's discussed.

You aren't going to fool them; you're going to alert them that *something* is up and the site is going to dissappear before you can say Jinn.

218 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 12:18:46pm

By the way, I hope that didn't seem condescending. I of course include myself. I know I couldn't pass for a Muslim there and I know why. A truly innocent inquiry about Islam from a non Muslim wouldn't be about a controversial issue; it'd be about Hajj or something. Maybe about Muhammad. The same way a truly innocent inquirer about Judaism wouldn't begin by saying "Golly, is it true that Orthodox Jews have sex through a hole in a sheet?" (No, BTW).

"Kaffirs are worthless."

I'm assuming Kaffir means Infidel or whatever. Every non-Muslim I have known who travelled in Muslim countries has had to contend with constant unsolicited remarks about how they should immediately convert to Islam and whatnot.

I guess Kaffirs are worthless unless they convert? Where's the love, baby?

224 Tex  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 12:41:16pm

I agree. I sure hope someone blows the lid on that site, but they will just gather elsewhere. They've had trouble with us infiltraters before, and have stayed up and running (we use several different proxys and alternet IP there) through think and thin. Word seems to travel fast in the their online community. My hope is that by letting them be aware of people pretending to be muslims there (and doing a great job of it too btw!) , they will not know who to trust and will think twice, basically spoiling what, to them, is yet another fertile jihadi recruitment ground.

I hope the roof is torn of the sucka, that Islam is a religion of peace and love.

228 shell  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 12:49:53pm

James, I'm going to take your advice and just keep my mouth shut for a while. I can't even understand half of what their talking about. Of course I probably don't want to know, but right now I feel that knowing is the only thing I can do to help the war effort.

Which brings up another question... short of joining the military (which I've considered), what can the average citizen do? I've written letters to congress, kept up with events as best I can, and I just sent links to the Youth of Islam to my local news outlets (newspaper and the big 4 tv networks).

I want to do more. I just don't know what.

229 Clarence  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 12:49:57pm

NOT!

The parody of the Pilger-Fisk-
Chomsky response is precisely on target. Al-Guardian may lift it intact without attribution. I don't hate the jihadis themselves, anymore than I would hate a rabid dog or a venomous snake. I do hate those who know better, but who persist in supporting the islamo-devils anyway; the Pilgers and Fisks and Chomskys of the world, and their hordes of gibbering disciples.

Another prize islamofascist ass-kisser, George Michael, refuses to come to America, fearing violence against his person. What a pompous idiot. Doesn't he know that we already have millions of clueless idiotarians, swarms of them on every campus and in every head-shop, theme bar, and yuppy warren? They aren't being shot down in the streets, why would he be so important?

231 Eric the CR  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 12:58:21pm

shell,

My advice is to talk. Tell you family, your friends and anybody you can reach. We have a determined enemy, but, unfortunately, most of our fellow citizens are apathetic and suseptible to attack.

Learn for the experience of Churchill who stood up and spoke up against Hitler, while the rest of the world just wanted to be left alone.

Hopefully, this time we can stop this evil before it become too poweful.

232 Nobody  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 1:03:20pm

Wow. There's a thread about how evil it is to enjoy listening to music. Several of the posters go on to discuss how filthy and evil file-sharing sites/programs like Kazaa, AudioGalaxy, etc., are.

Does the RIAA know it has friends in the fundamentalist muslim community?

I don't know about you folks but I am emotionally spent by this thread and the discovery of THAT website. As appalled as I am, I honestly don't know whether to simply ignore it (as I do when I happen across a neo-Nazi web site) or begin plans to immigrate to Antarctica. There are no Muslims there yet, are there?

I'd still like someone to tell me when Bush and the State Department are going to end the masquerade with the Saudis. Surely, we cannot continue to allow thousands of Saudi-funded schools and mosques around the globe to manufacture millions of rock-em-sock-em, slice-and-dice, ninja jihadists. For every one we take out with smart bombs in Afghanistan, there will be three to take his place hiding in fifth columns here and in Europe.

Has anyone (CIA, FBI, Nat'l Security Council, MI5) thought this through?

240 Chris  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 2:34:48pm

I saw that video a few weeks ago on a site called [Link: www.StopIslam.com...] (where it was posted to incite anti-Muslims sentiment, not the reverse as in this case)

It's quite unpleasant, but I've seen worse before, such as a picture of a 5-year old girl burnt to a crisp in Waco (I saw that in a documentary a few years ago).

Really, I just disregard stuff like that. You can't form rational opinions when you are in a state of shock, as I was after I saw that Russian soldier getting his heap cut off. There are plenty of pro-Muslim sites spreading hate by showing pictures of dead Muslims from Gujarat.

Should I haved formed negative opinions about Hindus on the basis of that? No, and to form opinions about Muslims on the basis of this video is irrational as well. If there was footage of Arieh Biro executing Egyptian POWs in the Sinai in '56, would that cause you to be anti-Jewish?

I may sound callous to you, but you can't allow people to push your buttons like that.

241 Dee Bates  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 2:45:59pm

David (#237), I did the same thing and I, too, wish I hadn't. I couldn't watch it all the way through; I heard a long, loud scream - it was my mind going into denial.

242 Jeff G  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 2:48:46pm

You don't sound callous, Chris; instead you sound condescending and offensively paternalistic. Most of the people reading this site haven't formed "negative opinions" about Islamist jihadis and their wannabe immitators because of a ten-second video clip they ran across on the web (for one thing, there were those two planes crashing into the Twin Towers to help frame our perspectives). But nevertheless, such powerful imagery as contained in that video clip can serve to reinforce what any thinking person's brain should have already made clear to him/her: these zealots are serious, they desire our death or forcible submission, and we need to take them at their word and plan our responses accordingly.

I hope I don't sound too callous, but lectures presuming to warn me how not to internalize a given message really, y'know -- steam my bean.

243 Dave  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 2:52:16pm

Isn't it forbidden in Islam to display images of living things? IIRC, it is. If I were gonna troll... which I absolutely am not!... I'd point out that showing videos of the execution is haram and they're gonna BURNBURNBURN!!!!!

Scary, scary stuff indeed.

244 Jonathan  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 2:53:49pm

Hey Chris, an image of a dead person is not the same as an image of a person being killed.

On top of that, the issue here is not the existence of the video. It is the web site's celebration of the video and what the video represents as representative of Islam, its teachings, and its values that causes so much dismay here.

If you could point to a web site in which Jewish youths were gleefully swapping a video of Egyptian POWs being murdered and talking about it as an incarnation of Jewish values, yes, there'd be a hell of a lot criticism here.

245 Chris  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 3:00:25pm

You don't sound callous, Chris; instead you sound condescending and offensively paternalistic.

Sorry if I caused offense, it's just that that kind of thing strikes a raw nerve with me. I don't see how it helps anyone to post links to that kind of stuff. I mean, we all knew that Muslims killed POWs, right?

And why am I condescending just for offering my opinion?

246 James  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 3:04:37pm

Chris,

With all due respect the shock and horror expressed by the majority of the posters is directed at the object of this thread; the revelation that a message board owned and operated in the United States, run by adults for kids is encouraging and allowing promotion of the worst kind of murderous terrorism -- and all of that is being promoted and viewed as totally legitimate and appropriate.

One poster questioned if it's appropriate to be discussing the best way to kill Jews on a public message board -- because kufrs -- that's you and I -- might see it. Not that it's evil and vile, but we might see it and be turned off to Islam.

The poster was assured he was off his rocker for thinking such things and that the kufr -- you and I, again -- deserve such a fate, it's Islamically correct and not to be a wimp.

This is the tip of the iceberg. Again, these are youths, teenage boys and girls, in America and Canada and the UK.

Are we clear what the problem is?

247 rick mcginnis  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 3:12:32pm

Greg asked way back:

I am wondering what channel do we have a show called 'the Recruiters', this is really scaring me if they have access to this kind of televesion right here in Norht America.

They must have a satellite. I know that some parents of arab immigrants only allow their children to watch TV they get through satellite from Arab countries. Never realised those chanels had shows like that

"The Recruiters" is a tv documentary produced by the CBC here in Canada, about the network of Islamic fundamentalist mosques and other organizations all over the world, but specifically in Britain and Europe. It traces the path of several young men from liberal, middle-class muslim families into jihadis.

The CBC website link is here.

It by no means supports or equivocates about the truly evil intentions of the fundamentalists, which makes the way that the awful little shits posting to clearguidance have obviously come to regard it as a source of info truly unsettling. They are, it's obvious, immune to criticism, and revel in the sense of marginalization.

Which, I guess, shouldn't be any surprise to anyone by now.

Which makes the job of neutralizing this awful thing much more difficult.

248 John Powell  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 3:14:16pm

Chris, I'm sure you're going to get flamed, for your condescending tone if nothing else, but you're missing the point: It's not the snuff videos, it's the little wannabe jihadis trading them and discussing how cool they are. There is no equivalent phenomenon in any other religion that I've ever seen, I I bet you can't point to anything similar.

249 Tex  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 3:51:10pm

Thanks for the back up. So it seems that "Halal Flowers" is a recent front for more than one Islamic site, and that Sarfaraz Jamal (my post #212) is the real owners name of clearguidance.com after all.

Hmmm... wonder if the FBI are going to be paying him a vist in Ohio soon to ask him about his jihadi recruitment drive. Inshallah... LOL

250 nomad33  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 3:53:11pm

#234 - Ariel:

The common term I hear [in Israel] is
"Amalia Istishhadia"

"Amalia" = act, work
"Istishhadia" = the process of becoming a "shahid", a "martyr.

It refers to all sorts of suicide terrorism including carrying an armed assault to the person's death.


Furthermore, I recall someone asked about the Jews being pigs & monkeys, so here goes:

Apparently in the Quran There is a story of the jews who lived among arabs, in a fishermen village and used to hunt whales [or something like that]. Anyways half the villagers did not respect the holy day of Sabbath [Saturday] and went on fishing on saturdays so they got punished by Allah - they were turned to pigs & monkeys while their brothers who did not work on sabbath stayed human. [it's a bit more complicated but irrelevant]

Regarding today's jews, This is where muslim clerics can't make up their minds and there is contreversy, the options are:
(1) The pigs & monkeys did not reproduce and died.
(2) The pigs & monkeys stayed that way so that today's pigs & monkeys used to be jewish
(3) The pigs & monkeys reproduced with the jews who stayed human so that the jews of today have a pig & monkey decendency.

The common extremist view is of course, the third. There was a debate over that recently in the arab world and some scholars have suggested that this view aids the enemies of islam.

251 Eric the CR  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 3:54:25pm

Yeah, Chris and those images of Holocaust survivors really did a trick on Europe! If the Eurpoean were strong and percevered, then the Zionist entity would never have been created. Stupid images! Stupid truth!

Chris says:

Well, actually, I thought it was rather the opposite. I thought it was the mullahs the ones who were pushing buttons in the minds of these rabid dogs in the hopes of inciting them to become martyrs.

The expected outcome of the stimulus is not that you realise what kind of bastards they are. If feeling completely and totally outraged by that video is letting someone else push your buttons, you might as well shut up next time they stage a 9/11 comeback just to be "rational", as you call it. Sorry, but I don't think I want to go further up the evolutionary ladder if that's what being rational means.

"There is no equivalent phenomenon in any other religion that I've ever seen, I I bet you can't point to anything similar"

A) Find it.

B) Show how that post was related to religious belief, and if it is how a single post on a comments section is similar to an entire bulletin board with dozens of members.

And there are plenty of Americans who keep [Link: www.rotten.com...] in the top 100 most visited sites on the net

You seem fixated on that video clip.

Again, the *problem* here isn't the contents of the clip per se. It's the justification, glorification, discussion and attaction to the *action* portrayed in the clip -- by young teenagers in America, who may be in school with your very own children.

The posters on that board encourage and applaud terrorism and find religious justification, and indeed obligation to kill non Muslims.

Explain the parallel between that and a gore fetish.

258 Chris  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 5:30:45pm

"A) Find it."

[Link: littlegreenfootballs.com...] It's post #79

"B) Show how that post was related to religious belief, and if it is how a single post on a comments section is similar to an entire bulletin board with dozens of members."

The fact that it is not related to religious belief is totally irrelevant. Ideology is just as dangerous. And even though obviously LGF isn't anywhere near as extreme as ClearGuidance.com but there are people who post things like "I want pieces not peace" and that kind of thing here on a regular basis.

If you want a whole bulletin board full of anti-Muslim maniacs (including people making "pledges" to murder Muslims in the USA) check out [Link: www.stopislam.com...]

Huh, Chris, there is no post 79 (or Santa Claus) and I'm reallly sorry about the tangent, as it has absoutely nothing to do with the present discussion.

Except for the killing of the Jews part.

And for the intense racial haterd.

Which was spawned by racial propaganda.

Through youth groups.

Other than that -- nothing in common.

Additionally, as far as I can tell the video clip in mention is gone. Linked pages have been pulled, as far as I can tell. Maybe they noticed the increased number of downloads/page views.

Regardless, if anyone has the file name and Kazaa (or Morpheus), they might consider seeing if it's being shared P2P. Just a thought.

264 Chris  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:07:01pm

"I'm reallly sorry about the tangent, as it has absoutely nothing to do with the present discussion. "

It doesn't. And if you want comparisons with Nazi Germany look for the country with the largest military-industrial complex on earth. A central tenet of fascism is strong links between the military and business (e.g. heavy industry). There are strong parallels between the relationship between the Pentagon and the American aerospace industries and the relationship between the Third Reich and German industrialists of the 30s.

If you insist on bringing up the Holocaust, I might point out that the 2nd largest group killed by Hitler after the Jews were the Communists, a practise that was honed to a fine art by America during the post-war period, especially in your tinpot dictatorship Latin American vassals.

265 M. Simon  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:32:42pm

shell,

Here is what you can do: reduce your consumption of oil.

If you don't wish to give up your lifestyle vehicles (SUV, trucks etc.) Plan for the 2004 model year when such vehicles with hybrid engines will be available.

You will be in the early adopter class which means you will be helping with the debug of these vehicles.

Buy a few solar garden lights to help solar technology.

Replace all your light bulbs with compact flourescents.

Do everything you can to drive down the cost of energy and to help in the development of alternatives. It will be a 60 to 80 year process to get the country off fossil fuels. No time like the present to start.

266 Robin Goodfellow  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:38:46pm

Quite simply, these boards need to be shut down and they can be.

Having operated several online message boards I have become familiar with the various legalities of the situation. Especially so when it comes to "hate speech", incitement to violence, stalking, deatlh threats, and that sort of thing. Essentially, it all depends on whether the board is "moderated" or not. If the board is unmoderated then the operater is (more or less) not liable for anything that happens on the board *before* they are specifically made aware of it. In other words "I didn't know that was happening" would be a valid excuse. Regardless, once a board operator is made aware of illegal activity (and I think there's a good case to be made that some of those posts constitute illegal activity) on their boards they either have to do something about it or be liable.

I suggest that people do four things:

First and foremost people need to send email to the board operators (riyahduljannah@hotmail.com) to let them know (preferably with specific examples) that there are unacceptable things happening on their boards. The more people that do this the harder it is for them to ignore it, or to claim that they are ignorant of what's going on in their forums.

Second, people should contact vbulletin (info@vbulletin.com) to make them aware that the site "clearguidance.com" is using their software for some very unsavory things. It would be helpful if people mentioned that it does not reflect well on vbulletin that these people are using their software. If enough people do this there is a good chance that vbulletin will pull their software license and they will have to use other forum software or be in violation of copyright law (at which point a letter from vbulletin to their isp would suffice to shut them down).

Third, people should contact clearguidance.com's isp ("Everyone's Internet", [Link: www.ev1.net...] [Link: www.ev1.net...] sales@ev1.net, or call them toll free: 800-504-7873) to make them aware of just what is going on and ask them if they really think hosting this sort of thing is the business they want to be in.

Fourth, people should "troll" the clearguidance.com boards (but be careful). Do not do anything illegal or unethical but do be as annoying and confrontational as you want to be. If you are lucky then maybe they will ban you or delete your posts. At which point they will have proven that their boards are moderated and thus they are responsible for hosting the content that has been posted on the site in the past.

267 M. Simon  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:39:01pm

I'm with you Chris. Since it is just one brand of fascism fighting another I see nothing wrong with insuring our brand of fascism wins.

Three cheers for the military industrial complex which is on the verge of beating the oil religion complex.

268 Jeff G  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 7:44:11pm

Re: #256

Who exactly comprises the "you people" who "are only 2 stepping stones away from bringing" up the Holocaust in any argument, Chris?

Just, y'know...out of curiosity...

Oh. And when the US military-industrial complex -- in cahoots with the aerospace industry, of course -- begins rolling out the people ovens and the freight cars, give me a ring. Because then might be a reasonable time to strike up the US - Nazi Germany comparisons.

For any of the wannabe Jihadi's, this Infidel packs heat and is awaiting this cowardly vermin to make their move, it will be their last.

"do not be selfish, this life is cheap." And there are Leftist who have the balls to call Ayn Rand crazy. There it is the end result of the anti-reason, anti-self, anti-life philosophy that the Leftist deny exists. All the bed-wetting Leftists should be made to visit that site.

"Who exactly comprises the "you people" who "are only 2 stepping stones away from bringing" up the Holocaust in any argument, Chris?"

Right wing Americans trying to use the Jews to justify a war just like they used the Kurds ten years ago.

"And when the US military-industrial complex -- in cahoots with the aerospace industry, of course -- begins rolling out the people ovens and the freight cars, give me a ring. Because then might be a reasonable time to strike up the US - Nazi Germany comparisons"

Does incinerating them in bomb shelters count?

271 Jeff G  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:22:44pm

Oh. It's right-wingers who are two steps away from bringing up the Holocaust in every argument. Gotcha.

Sorry, but I thought you were hinting at some other group entirely.

And no, incinerating people in bomb shelters doesn't count.

By the way, EVERY link to the 'Youth of Islam" site is broken.

You cannot get onto that site anymore. Well, I can't. I e-mailed links last night to Honest Reporting, Camera, ADL. I really hope they got to look at the site before they started blocking it.

No its not an error. Somebody [probably one of the fools who got banned] went out to another larger website and told everyone to come to clearguidance.... but for what purposes, Allahu'alam.

Yes i believe there were many non-muslims here before (and still now) trying to read all the "disturbing threads and posts" (quoted from another site).

we're cool... so very cool... mashallah... dont u get that feeling... when u ARE better than others... but u jus live with it.. and people al around u try to ''start a new'' trend... by following you... but in the end... they never succeed...

275 ronnie schreiber  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 8:51:49pm

My son is 18 and arrived in Israel a couple of days ago to study for a year in a yeshiva. He has many friends, as do his teenaged cousins, so you can be sure that I've spent some time around Jewish teenagers in the past few years.

You'd be hard pressed to find among the parents of these kids anyone near left of center in terms of Jewish and Zionist politics. A few of the parents knew R. Meir Kahane, H'y'd', personally. Not exactly Peace Now members. Most have no problem with the Second Amendment. The kids seem to be at least as right wing as the parents.

I'd be lying if I said that I never heard a Jewish teenager advocate violence against Palestinians. I'd also be lying if I said that I never heard a Jewish teenager make a racist comment about Arabs. Teenagers, after all, are teenagers. My son is a very bright and reasonable young man, but I've spent my share of time explaining to him how this or that idea of his might not be too wise, prudent or moral.

However, nothing I've ever heard out of my son's mouth or those of his friends approaches anything near what is posted on clearguidance. The thought that these twisted and warped violent fantasies are promoted under the banner of "religious" guidance is simply apalling.

I know how Jew-haters have used Jewish sources, out of context, to attack Jews and Judaism, so I can be sensitive to Muslim concerns. I have no problem with a faith community asserting that they have possession of the One True Faith. People are entitled to their opinion. Also, religions around the world routinely have different standards of behavior towards members and non-members. I'm sure that Islamist apologists could spin clearguidance to be an expression of attitudes held by other religions and then complain that Islam is being discriminated against.

Bovine excrement. Canon Law may (this is hypothetical, I don't know a thing about Canon Law) say that while a Christian cannot charge another Christian interest, he may charge interest to non-believers. Jewish law discusses whether or not a Jew can benefit from the financial mistake of a Gentile. From the looks of clearguidance, under what circumstances must you refrain from killing a non-believer seems to be more Islam's speed.

The uncomfortable truth seems to be that a large part of the Muslim world is actively indoctrinating its children and teenagers to be psychopathic killers. Though the Hamas leadership tries to make it sound noble, the kids make it clear that they're budding Freddie Kruegers.

LISTEN UP.

In Islam you all know FULL well that we have major rules. Even when you joke you DON'T lie and NOR do you overstep the limits which Allah and His Messenger have set. Comprende?

I have a major bone to pick with some threads that were posted in various sections of this site INCLUDING the Brothers' Section and YES I am going to say it in public. [Sisters I'd appreciate it if you stayed out of this discussion]


* Saying stuff like "Juicy Jews" is dumb and Islamically incorrect. We don't have any such bloody hatred for the Jews as a nation. We may hate them because of their shirk, because of their dhulm and fasaad ETC. Have you all forgotten the prohibition of reviling their deities lest they revile God out of ignorance? Saying something like "Juicy Jews" goes counter to that prohibition.

* Making posts talking about killing the kuffar and slicing their guts out etc, not only is the subject matter being discussed unIslamic [because we do not mutilate in war-time], it is also irrelevant. Slicing off the head of a jassuus is something totally different and does not come under the subject of mutilation.

* Don't talk uselessly in excess. Ok sometimes you might make a post or a thread or a reply which has one or two words which has no real use - fine. But to do it excessively is akin to blabbing excessivle. For such people a time comes when they talk and blab yet they have little clue as to what they're really saying - mindless talk which deadens the hearts.

* Keep in mind your position as du3aat. Each one of you is a da3ee. As the Rasulallah [saws] said, "ballighu 'annee, wa lau ayah". We convey from the Rasulallah [saws] to others, even if it is a single sentence or statement. Your actions and statements have a BIG impact on someone who might be looking for Islam, or someone who might be looking for an excuse to justify their Islamophobia.

* Go read and study about el'walaa wal'baraa. About shirk and tauheed. Study the Seerah and see how the Sahabaa acted in what situations and how. Go see how when, during the Battle of the Trench, when the munafiqeen saw el'A7zaab massing their forces outside of Medinah, they said "Allah and His Messenger have promised us nothing but lies!!!" because they thought of nothing but defeat.

Whereas the Sahabaa saw the same sight, and they exclaimed "Allah and His Messenger have indeed told the Truth!!!" because...what did they see? They saw a culmination of what Allah had meant, when He had said that He would test them, and the Sahabaa saw the chance to lay down their lives for Islaam at her darkest hour, for the chance to join the Shuhadaa.

Do you see the difference between those two groups? How they reacted to the same situation? One group [the munafiqeen] was full of weakness and cowardice and nefaaq, and so they became worthless. And the other group, which had reached the pinnacle of Allah's pleasure, the ones who had a deep understanding of Tauheed and a deep and abiding hatred of Shirk, and a true understanding of Walaa wal'Baraa...do you how they acted?

277 Chris  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 10:39:44pm

"Sorry, but I thought you were hinting at some other group entirely."

Is this some kind of lameass attempt to insinuate that I am an anti-Semite?

Not that I really care since that charge seems to be the first line of defence against any detrators from the current war machinations.

In any case, if America is so pro-Semitic (if that's a word) how come you're so happy to sell millions of dollars worth of state of the art weaponry to Israel's hostile near-neighbours?(e.g. Saudi Arabia, Iraq up until the 80s)

278 M. Simon  Wed, Aug 7, 2002 11:19:28pm

Chris - the Iraqis got our third rate stuff with the designer label.

Saudi gets our fourth rate stuff without the repair manuals or spare parts depots.

The Israelis of course would reverse engineer anything we sent them, make it better than ours and write their own manuals so why bother holding back?

That in a nutshell is the essence of the problem. Arabs lack technical ability.

279 Tatterdemalian  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 12:16:39am

Chris, are your eyes brown? It's pretty obvious to everyone that you're stuffed at least that high with bullshit...

Even post #70 in the other thread wasn't anything like you claim. He didn't even compliment the IDF on the shooting, only on the fact that they stopped him from blowing up dozens of Jews.

Every word you have said has only proven our point. We want people to live, they want people to die, and THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US.

If that makes me a right-wing nut, then praise be to Jesus and God and whatever other icon the right-wing nuts favor.

280 Chris  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 1:40:52am

"We want people to live, they want people to die, and THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN US."

Bullshit! You personally may think that your government has nothing but honourable intentions but it's obvious to most everyone with even a basic grasp of the state of world affairs (i.e. people outside of America) that your government wants a WAR. They're not even going to bother with twisting the arm of the UN to get a "mandate" this time, and you aren't listening to any of your "allies" reservations.

It's the same old well-worn formula. Paint the enemy as less than human and then nominate some worthy group of victims (this time it's the Jews, last time it was the Kurds) and then get the hot lead flying (and the cash-registers ringing).

Haven't you realised that all your allies are just getting TIRED OF IT? Everyone knows that half the "undemocratic" regimes in the Middle East are the result of British or American engineered coups (or revolutions against hardline repressive governments installed by Western supported coups).

Iran is fucked up because you overthrew Mossadegh. Iraq is fucked up because it's a meaningless and unworkable entity created by the stroke of an imperialist's pen to serve oil interests (find me any historical reference to Kuwait as a sovereign entity before the 20th centtury). The Ba'ath party owes it's position in power to CIA help back in the 60s. You backed him against Iran just because you wanted a more oil-interest-friendly regime in Tehran!

Even Afghanistan could have been a fairly non-threatening Communist satellite if it wasn't for your arming of the Mujuhadeen in the 80s - and they were doing the same sorts of things to Russian soldiers back then as they are to poor old Ivan in this video. These are all well-known facts!

Everytime there is some kind of sprouting of a moderate, liberal movement in the Middle East you take exception to it's socialist bent (sorry but what do you expect in a region with a long history of outside imperial interference) you STAMPED IT OUT!

You've been arming the whole region for years - hardly the actions of people who "want people to live". Jesus, did you have a tear in your eye and hear violins playing in your head when you wrote that?

Do you want to know why the "blame America" phenomenon exists? BECAUSE IT'S AMERICA'S FUCKING FAULT, THAT'S WHY!!! LOL!!!

You people are just UNBELIEVABLE. It's like you have a memory of about 10 years max...

PS Chomsky, Pilger et al are right about you lot and no mistaking it

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!

283 Chris  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 2:21:06am

"Charming, Chris. Which perfectly enlightened and entirely blameless nation are you from? How would you feel if something like this was lobbed at it? "

Sorry if that offended anyone, I was being deliberately obnoxious with that comment :-)

I don't hate Americans at all but I really have no time for your government or any of your foreign policies of the last 25 years. However, ou shouldn't take anything I say TOO seriously as I mostly take a contrarian position on just about everything for the heck of it.

I am from New Zealand. My contempt for American foriegn policy comes from 2 years spent working for Amnesty International (mostly campaigning about East Timor). And as a matter of fact, there are no flies on us.

284 HA  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 2:33:52am

Chris,

You perfectly demonstrate what is wrong with left-wing-postmodern-illiberal-fundamentalists. The inability to differentiate and make wise judgements. You can't see the difference between offensive violence and defensive violence. It's all just violence and therefore its all equally bad. Then you try to pass off this inability to differentiate as some sign of moral superiority because you see the evils of your own society.

The freedom and prosperity you enjoy today is due to the deeds of your moral superiors. In the words of John Stewart:

"War is an ugly thing but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feelings which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

And George Orwell:

"Pacifism is objectively pro-fascitst. It is elementary common sense."

285 Riverman  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 2:56:16am

Ah, yes, Chris, that country which is right smack in the middle of a geopolitical hotspot, which faces threats everywhere it turns, and whose citizens face mass slaughter, yet has managed to acquit itself gloriously on the moral front.

Or the country which sent troops to Vietnam to fight alongside the Americans?

Or the country which imports two thirds of its oil, some of it from regions which would be a lot less reliable without US hegemony and US Navy protection of the trade routes?

Or the country which is part of the coalition and has sent SAS troops to Afghanistan?

Yes, you are offensive. And wrong. Not to mention weird - what kind of a man takes "contrarian positions just for the heck of it" on matters of life and death?

286 Eric the CR  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 2:58:15am

Gosh, Chris, don't know where to start with you..

So, you think that the most offensive part about the Third Reich is its military idustrial complex? You certainly have an interesting set of morals, dont, you?

Now its also fun to bring up Latin America and it's lucky for you its my pet peeve. I love how Leftied like you bring it up. How many peopel died there? 10,000?

Stalin killed 20 million. Mao probabaly killed another 30 million. Pol Pot killed 2 million. What do they have in common, Chris? Did you convineintly forget about them? Did you at least find their military-industrial complexes offensive?

Do you know why Leftist governments are so bloody? Because Leftist are bigots who cover up their biggotry in flowery language and manage to rationalize support for dictatorships and violence.

See my site for more...

287 Chris  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 4:38:23am

Hey there!

Just got back from the pub, and there's a few reactions to my posts which deserve answering.

There seem to be a lot of viewpoints attributed to me that don't correspond to anything I have said (other than the fact that they are things that detractors from American foreign policy commonly say).

First of all, I'm not a "leftist". I support free-market economics and my opposition to American policies is not based on the fact that they are usually directed against left-leaning regimes.

As for the inability to differentiate between different forms of violence, where have I demostrated that? I support Israel's actions against Arab terrorism, it is America, or rather, specific American actions that I have a problem with.

Would anyone care to explain to me how giving the green light to Suharto to invade East Timor was "defensive"? At least 100,000 people died there by conservative estimates. Why? Was East Timor poised to become a launch-pad for a Soviet invasion of Australasia if it gained independence? I have never seen an explanation of why it was allowed to happen.

I don't remember giving the thumbs up to Stalin and Pol Pot either, and as for "support for dictatorships and violence", what about the longstanding support of regimes such as Pinochet, Suharto, Hussein (until he got too big for his boots), King Fahd, and all the other little brutal dictatorships that were part of the bulwark against Communism during the Cold War?

I just think that if faced with a "lesser of the two evils" choice, socialism (with all it's flaws) wins out over military dictatorships and Islamic extremist regimes every time.

Yes I do have a problem with military industrial complexes in nutcase regimes as well, it's just that they are insignificant compared with the British and American ones. Billions of dollars are made every year from exporting arms to countries such as Nigeria and Indonesia where they are used for brutal repression, plain and simple. How does this advance the "cause of freedom" or anything similar? Isn't it just blood money?

As for being contrarian, I realise these are matters of life and death, but when it comes to going to war, there is definitely a need for counter arguments to be put forward, defended vigorously and only very reluctantly abandoned before the "last resort" is taken. That's why I go out of my way to be "contrary".

One last thing, I know I come off as preachy and sanctimonious, but I honestly don't think myself morally superior to anyone in here. This is an ideological argument not a personal one.

288 Chris  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 4:44:59am

"So, you think that the most offensive part about the Third Reich is its military idustrial complex? You certainly have an interesting set of morals, dont, you?"

Sorry, you've probably had more than enough of me, but I couldn't let this one lie.

No, I don't think the MIC was the worst part of the Third Reich. It's just a point of similarity that's worth mentioning because it marked the early stages of the Nazi regime.

"You perfectly demonstrate what is wrong with left-wing-postmodern-illiberal-fundamentalists. "

Settle down, I'm not French :-)

289 Right-wing jew  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 4:56:54am

Chris, Chris.

Can you do me a favor? Why don't you find the print edition of National Review for August 12. There, on page 32, there is an article by David Pryce-Jones, documenting the way Great Britain screwed up Middle East in the beginning of the last century. The title of the article is "Preoccupied".

I think you should be thankful the US of A is trying to fix what GB fucked up.

290 Riverman  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 5:40:11am

"all the other little brutal dictatorships that were part of the bulwark against Communism during the Cold War"

Would you have preferred no bulwarks, so large parts of the world could be Soviet now? That might be a wee problem for someone who says he supports free markets.

"I don't remember giving the thumbs up to Stalin and Pol Pot either"

No, you just ignore them because they are rather inconvenient holes in your one-sided anti-American rant of an "argument".

"I just think that if faced with a "lesser of the two evils" choice, socialism (with all it's flaws) wins out over military dictatorships and Islamic extremist regimes every time."

What? Where is this choice on offer? Or are we talking about the good old USSR again? Hey, it killed 25,000 people in Herat in just one air raid. Nice, socialism.

"when it comes to going to war, there is definitely a need for counter arguments to be put forward, defended vigorously and only very reluctantly abandoned before the "last resort" is taken."

Why, if the arguments are wrong? And wouldn't you be the first to agree that there is already loads of opposition out there without your strange contribution?

"No, I don't think the MIC was the worst part of the Third Reich. It's just a point of similarity that's worth mentioning because it marked the early stages of the Nazi regime."

This is one of the most crackpot statements ever. If you want to compare America to Nazi Germany, especially on absurd grounds like these, you are just a nut and an American hater, not an ideologue.

291 DocMartyn  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 5:46:58am

"Great Britain screwed up Middle East in the beginning of the last century"

Thats a nice peice of British bashing, part of the "the British organised the famine(s) in Ireland".
Problem is its unfair.
Why did the British decolonize so quickly after WWII ?(hint: the answer is in the question).
Which nation destabalized the ME in 1956 by damaging the economies of Britian and France who were attempting to recover their canal?

Finally, may I quote one the greatest thinkers of the modern age, Homer Simpson, in reply to
"Did Great Britain screwed up Middle East in the beginning of the last century"
"It was broken before I got here"

293 Ariel  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 6:08:18am

Chris,

I'm an American. But I grew up throughout the world, spending most of my life in Japan.

Like you do now, I used to criticize America for everything under the sun. In the past two years, I have been convinced of the failure of the international system.

* The UN did nothing about Yugoslavia. Fact is, Dutch peacekeepers could have been tried by the ICC if it's mandate extended backwards. They had a bottle of wine with the Serbs; meanwhile the Serbs slaughtered in Sarajevo.

* The UN managed to produce a conference on Racism in which Israel was accused of being racist. Let's just say this is true - the Saudi won't even let non-Muslims be buried on their territory.

* Amnesty International managed to issue one condemnation of suicide bombings after about two years of war in Israel. How many condemnations of Israel occurred in this time period? Did they ever publish a retraction wrt the "massacre" in Jenin?

* 1/4 of all UNSC resolutions condemn Israel. 1/3 of all UNHRC resolutions condemn Israel. Is is possible that Israel does that many things wrong relative to the rest of the world?

And so on.

The point is, most people with views like yours believe that the US should do everything (not possible) or nothing (not possible). We have to act based on our interests and capabilities, just like everyone else. In other words, there is no difference between what we do and what others do.

Except that the US populace will not tolerate certain actions. While Amnesty has been busy condemning the US and Israel for the last however many years, they have few enough reports condemning the murder of Palestinian collaborators. Or the abuse of Saudi women. Or the abuse of immigrants in Saudi Arabia.

Your standards for the US are above and beyond what your standards are for every other country. And that is the point. Pick anything (anything!) the US has done in the last 60 years. I'll find you an example of how another country behaved worse in the same situation.

294 Ariel  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 6:14:12am

Chris,

Let's also keep track of successes:

UN
Yugoslavia: 0
Rwanda: 0
Somalia: 0
Israel: 0
Iraq: 0

US
Yugoslavia: 1
Rwanda: 0
Somalia: 0
Israel: 0
Iraq: 0 (may soon be 1)

Total: UN:0, US:1

Therefore, the US is infinitely better at solving problems then the UN ;).

295 Right-wing jew  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 6:14:15am

"Thats a nice peice of British bashing, part of the "the British organised the famine(s) in Ireland"."

Actually no, the piece has nothing to do with British bashing. The article deals with the strategy US should take in Iraq. As a part of the overall story, the history of Middle East after WWI is given (the way Iraq and other kingdoms were created). BTW, the article itself is written by a Brit (I do not know if he is Irish, or might have some grudge against Britain in general -- but I doubt he does). David Pryce-Jones is an expert on Middle East -- too bad there aren't many experts of his caliber.

Sorry, but simple dismissal will not work in this case, just as Homer quote does not apply.

296 Jeff G  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 6:16:00am

Well, I for one think we Americans owe Chris a debt of gratitude. His unflappable questioning, historical trivia, and incisive reasoning -- especially in so far as it flies in the face of the bloody warmongering we right-wingers and cynical Americentric imperialists tend to engage in here in our insulated racist echo chamber -- has acted as a much needed critical salve to our erstwhile burning hatred of Arabs, egalitarian regimes, and southeast Asian peasants.

After all, this current war on terror has everything to do with East Timor and Latin American tinpot dictators. How could we consider acting in Iraq without first considering those things?

Thank you, Chris. I have seen the light.

I've instructed my secretary to send New Zealand a wheel of Brie and a sausage sampler platter. As a token of my gratitude for all the eye-opening instruction, I mean.

297 Q  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 7:08:45am

Even Afghanistan could have been a fairly non-threatening Communist satellite if it wasn't for your arming of the Mujuhadeen in the 80s - and they were doing the same sorts of things to Russian soldiers back then as they are to poor old Ivan in this video.

As much as Chris is a sanctimonious and immature demagogue, he has a tiny bit of point here. Afghanistan would be best off if the king (or at least Mohammed Daoud who deposed him) was allowed to stay in place.

The USSR, of course, bears most of the blame for what followed because of its sponsoring of Daoud's overthrow (and murder) and subsequent Taraki-Karmal-Najibullah domino effect.
And of course, had the USSR not invaded (a supremely idiotic and criminal act of communist gerontocracy), there would not have been any need for the US to arm the thugs and savages. I am also aware of the fact that it was a bigger game for the US than the worthless shithole Afghanistan, as the losses and demoralization caused by this war were the factors in the eventual Soviet collapse.

Nevertheless, the ordinary Afghans were infinitely better under even the crypto-communist regime, than under the thuggery and chaos that followed. There was a central government, some sort of civil service and infrastructure etc. Look at the place now.

And the Soviet soldiers were, of course, mostly just hapless conscripts with absolutely no desire to be there and get killed, tortured and mutilated by the savages.

P.S. I seem to remember voices in the US Congress calling for arming of the KLA thugs, on whose behalf the the unjust and stupid war against Serbia was fought then. When will we finally learn?

298 Eric the CR  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 7:22:23am

Chris,

Not sure what else needs to be said, but let me summarize:


1. Communist = most death ever. Nothing to do with individual regimes. By itslef Leftist ideology is murderous.

2. Living in nice safe NZ, you probably don't realize what kind of hell the Soviet Union was. I do, I was born there and it upsets me when ideologically motivated people ignore the massive crimes commited there. (and in China and in every Communist dictatorship sponsored by Moscow and Beijing).

3. If you judge America, judge by the same standards you others. No double standards here.

If you do this, I think you will come to teh conclusion that the US is the best country in the world. While imperfect, it is far better thn anything else out there.
3. You

299 V. Valberg  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 7:27:46am

Claiming Britain engineered the Irish famine is massively unfair, they didn't, your only arguement could be that they didn't do enough to stop them, and even there the sad fact is that there isn't much they could do.

Some people have argued that the British should have stopped export of food stuffs from Ireland, but they ignore the fact that expensive food stuffs were exported in order to finance the purchase of cheaper food stuffs. In other words your could argue if the decision was good or not, but it was not made out of malice.

The fact is that when it came to transport, funding, and so forth importing enough food to feed all the Irish would have been an exceedingly difficult task, and one that would have required raising heavy taxes.

Attempts were made to alleviate the situation as best as they could, they made a few bad decisions to be sure, but they did not set out to starve the Irish to death in old Stalinist style.

300 Right-wing jew  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 7:34:27am

#299

Who is accusing Britain of causing Irish famine? Read the thread. I said that according to a article published in NR Britain was the primary cause Middle East is so screwed up today (#289), to which #291 replied that the article does British bashing similar to accusing it in the famine in question. Boy, from discussion of Middle East we will soon start move to discussion of Stalin's famine in Ukraine.

301 James  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 9:02:28am

There are strong parallels between the relationship between the Pentagon and the American aerospace industries and the relationship between the Third Reich and German industrialists of the 30s.

Let me guess… You are Oliver Stone's No. 1 fan.

Why is it that all of you lefties always have to complain about the rest of us not being rational enough to understand the underlying truth beneath the complexities of life? How come you always manage to establish this dumb parallelism between Nazi Germany and the United States?

Something in your grossly biased perceptions tells me you must be one of those comprehensive liberals who go along with Chomsky's defense of Holocaust denial, because it would not be like rational you see for all of us to hate those who hate. The West Nile hate bug must have made a giant leap to New Zealand.

Hi, I'm Australian, and I just want to point out that New Zealand is a going-broke liberal backwater insulated from the troubles of the world by thousands of miles of ocean. It's Australia's Canada, they know we'd protect them from attack so they feel free to scrap their military then preach sanctimoniously at all the awful warmongers across the water.

Meanwhile, their ecomomy goes to hell and their young people emmigrate in droves. Half the people I know here are New Zealanders, and none have any plans to go back.

To the idiots who run NZ, the cold war never happened. The murderous soviet empire was just a fiction to excuse American's love of bombing east asian peasants. They live in a stable world order, bought with the blood of other nations and feel free to preach at the architects of that stability.

Yes cris, we know all about nasty stuff that happened in Latin America, it's called war, idiot, and who started it? Hello Stalin, hello Chairman Mao, hello polit beauro.

Communism, dead, European fascism, dead, Japanese militarism, dead, Islamic fascism, soon dead, millions free, and who achieved all this? Not goddamn NZ. Oh but wait, SOME PEOPLE WERE WRONGLY KILLED BY THE US SO IT WAS ALL FOR NOTHING! Shut up New Zealand.

They really are disgusting hypocrits and parasites.

Thanks Amos for speaking your mind and letting me know exactly how Australians regard NZers. I always suspected many of you had that feeling towards us and it's good to get confirmation that I'm not just paranoid.

BTW, keep on dumping your refugee problem on the rest of the South Pacific, asshole. Guess that kind of figures for a country that didn't even recognise the rights of their indigenous population till the 1960s.

As for everyone else's points, why am I everyone's enemy in here?

It like I'm only allowed to be 100% supportive or else be a total Taliban-loving peacenik.

And yes, I do think it's relevant to look at history when thinking about the war on terrorism: track record counts. If there's going to be a war against Iraq, isn't it kind of relevant if he was armed in the 80s by the USA? If the notion of Iraq being given a green light to invade Kuwait is ridiculous, isn't the precent of East Timor in 1975 important?

I mean, I agree with probably 75% of what gets posted here. I just get sick of this "Muslims are the root of all evil" BS 24/7

Probably two reasons.

One: your response to the "hay d00d, herez how to kill da Jewz" comments at a message board for youths was basically "ho-hum".

Two: your assertion that America is somehow another Nazi Germany.

Hope that helps. :)

"One: your response to the "hay d00d, herez how to kill da Jewz" comments at a message board for youths was basically "ho-hum".

Ok. My bad.

I think I've totally misread the intent of this board. I had approached it as a free-for-all insult-fest (like most of the boards I post in). I can see I've said a few things that have really upset people, but which I didn't really mean.

I don't literally think America = Nazi Germany, it's just one of those things I like giving my American mates a hard time over (just as they like to make jokes about sheep on a routine basis).

It seems that this forum is more of a thoughtful intellectual one and you guys are really serious about what you are talking about. I guess I should have looked before I lept.

My apologies to anyone I have upset. I'm going to move on to another board where that kind of nationalistic invective goes down a bit better.

See ya!

"I mean, I agree with probably 75% of what gets posted here. I just get sick of this "Muslims are the root of all evil" BS 24/7 "

So do I and so do I. But you go a lot further, don't you, by insulting all Australians as well as Americans?

Face it, Chris. Your Timor story, no matter how good it may be, and your cold war history, screwed up as it is, don't deal with the issue of Iraq in 2002. Let alone dealing with your country's crimes, which amount to a great big swarm of flies that is just as significant relative to population and position as America's.

Stop defending Saddam and start thinking. Or do you really believe that Islamofascist Iran should have been left to grab Baghdad and then the Gulf back in the 80s? I know hard decisions are rare in NZ, but you should still try a bit harder.

316 clive  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 6:30:40pm

Yeah, your bad indeed Chris.

So what are you? A free marketeer who happens to prefer socialism? I bet it's that great theoretical socialism too - not that terribly misunderstood socialism "corrupted" by Stalin, Pol-Pot, Caucesco, Mao et al. If only everyone gave socialists yet another blank cheque - they'll get it right next time - honest!

In my experience, the only socialists who have decided that property rights and a free market can actually be a nice idea are those whose enlightenment closely correlates with when they began paying real taxes. Funny that.

Watching you argue is like watching a drunk drive home. You're overcorrecting all over the road as the mood takes you.
....Take this Americans! No I was only joking. USA is like the nazis! Am I serious? Maybe! I'm serious! No I'm just contrary. I believe this argument must be made -- it's important. But now I'm joking. You're all too sensitive - all my other american friends like this stuff....
Geez get some consistancy.

And before you cast aspersions on Australia's history have a look in your own backyard Chris. I wonder if your pakeha issues are resolved in your tidy corner of the world?

The choice to not make hard decisions is a luxury Chris (amongst others) enjoys, yet never had to pay for. Chris enjoys the lifestyle and freedom to be contrary just for kicks (or is it serious now?) because others have paid the ferryman on his behalf. And because this was bought at no charge - it's worthless to him.

And for someone who seems to disapprove of generalisations, he likes to toss them out like rhetorical handgrenades. No-one has claimed that islam is the root of all evil. Islam and Islamofacism are very different things and I'm sure Chris knows it - he just chooses to ignore it. I guess it's easier to think of us as white trash.

For countries that are so terrible, Australia and the USA seem to have a healthy amount of people in the NGO's like AI. And all power to 'em. Not that it really helps poor Achmed in Iraq who's had to see his own children tortured before his eyes.

AI used to have worthy aspirations, I know. Many AI people share these ideals and they are good ones. But now the overall agenda is something very different. Like many NGOs, they've evolved into a nice sounding groups that is actually front for a clique with ideological axes to grind. Again and again this happens, even right now in australia with the detention centre situation. The virtuous sounding Refugee Action Committee we see on TV here consists mainly of members of the International Socialists Organisation. Ian Rintoul who generally speaks for RAC is the great leader of ISO in brisbane. Not that he really wants the 6 o' clock news people to know that. With his radical ISO hat on he agitates for "actions", "initiatives" and other activities to catalyse his beloved revolution. But with the RAC hat on, he claims to be misunderstood and not trying to aggravate anything at all - it's all those rotten guards you see.. Ho hum, been there before..

The issue for them is no longer fixing the worst human rights abuses in the world. The issue is to bash the West about with the HR cudgel. After all, that's a lot easier than chasing the world's really bad boys because the West doesn't hit back. Protesting outside the local McDonalds is a lot safer than actually doing something about human rights violations in Iraq or Tibet. One can feel good for making the world safer and it's on the bus route too.

The standards by which Chris judges the USA vanishes into hypocracy when the mirror is held up to his other ideological champions such as the old USSR. And until that level of consistancy is shown, I could care less what he thinks. If the USA ever undertook as policy to replicate a Halabja, a gulag archipelago, a we'd never hear the end of it from Chris and his ilk.

Maybe Chris is just sour because the kiwis lost the Bledisloe Cup to us (again) and the kiwis recently came dead last in the Australian IQ challenge on TV (after blondes and builders). Oh and don't forget that Australia and the USA are on the cusp of creating a free trade agreement. NZ is lobbying desperately hard to invite themselves and get Australia to include them in the deal too. Damn shame Australia aint interested. :-)

317 clive  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 6:39:04pm

Worthy of comment. This quote is at opinion Journal.

From Orwell's May 1945 essay "Notes on Nationalism":

It is, I think, true to say that the intelligentsia have been more wrong about the progress of the war than the common people, and that they were more swayed by partisan feelings. The average intellectual of the Left believed, for instance, that the war was lost in 1940, that the Germans were bound to overrun Egypt in 1942, that the Japanese would never be driven out of the lands they had conquered, and that the Anglo-American bombing offensive was making no impression on Germany. He could believe these things because his hatred for the British ruling class forbade him to admit that British plans could succeed. There is no limit to the follies that can be swallowed if one is under the influence of feelings of this kind. I have heard it confidently stated, for instance, that the American troops had been brought to Europe not to fight the Germans but to crush an English revolution. One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool


George Orwell remained al his like a "lefty" liberal but he refused to trade in his conscience and principles for pure ideological blinkers.
A pity others can't emulate that example.

"BTW, keep on dumping your refugee problem on the rest of the South Pacific, asshole"

Hey cris, gues why we have a refugee problem and not the south pacific? Guess why they want to come here and not Indonesia, Malaysia and all the other countries these 'refugees' pass through on their way here? Those are all muslim paradises aren't they? Why go so far to throw yourself at the mercy of the hated kufir? Especially such nasty racist ones like Australians.

Newsflash: it's not our fault Pakistan sucks. I'm sorry too, but the fault is political corruption, military dictatorship and a disasterously misguided attempt to create a hybrid islamic/secular state. Having ruined their own home, all 150 million of them can't come live here, sorry cris. However, NZ might be just what they are looking for, sound good?

As for the genuine refugees, not the economic migrants looking to expoit our system- assuming any of them have a spare fifteen grand to pay to Asian gansters to get them here, Australia already takes more refugees per capita than any other country except Canada. That's right cris, more than NZ. Surprise!

Oh, and sorry for calling you a hypocrite.

320 Chris  Thu, Aug 8, 2002 8:33:13pm

"A free marketeer who happens to prefer socialism? "

I never said that! I said that if we are facing a "lesser of two evils" choice then I'd go for socialism over a military dictatorship. Take Chile in the 1970s as an example.

But first choice would be always be free-market democracy.

In any case, by all-guns-blazing argument-for-the-sake-of-argument style is not going down well here at all, so can I just say sorry to everyone who I've really pissed off and call it a day (again).

I said that if we are facing a "lesser of two evils" choice then I'd go for socialism over a military dictatorship. Take Chile in the 1970s as an example.

Setting aside the irrelevance of that "choice" and how it relates to Iraq in 2002, the flaw of course is that these types of government are not the only two choices on offer (let alone mutually exclusive). Comparing socialism and a military dictatorship and asking me to choose between them is like offering me which disease I'd like to have inflicted on me.
"Parkinsons or Herpes - you decide."
You've made your choice and I'll choose "None of the above". I'd rather live in a democratic nation with personal freedoms and responsibilities thanks very much. And guess which nation I largely have to thank for that luxury?

Years after the context of the cold war, the USA (and by implication the West) is excoriated for (sometimes) supporting or turning a blind eye while the other cold war player - the USSR and it's supporting cast (BTW, which was propped up by a real military industrial complex and military dictatorship) is conveniently forgotten for all and any sins. It's called moral equivalence Chris, I'm sure you've heard of it lately.

FOR CHRIS

Oh Chris, you've been Chomskied. It is not fatal unless a plurality of your people are infected. Stay here, post your arguments, read the refutations and you will be cured.

Bravo for NZ privatizing road construction and maintenance and saving themselves something like 750 million a year and thier roads actually get built and maintained to boot! Here in Oregon the Libertarians and Conservatives are pushing for a free market solution to our own road problems and often cite NZ as an example! (we actually have built 0 new roads in about 15 years, business is fleeing in the face of oppressive taxes and land use laws, the logging industry is less than a tenth of what it was prior to clinton, we have blocked thousands of miles of forest access roads (why are the forests burning?) and we have the highest unemployment in the US) We are the NZ of the NW.

I'd like to expand upon a few concepts:

the soviets killed about 40 million in three separate purges since 1917, and about 160 million died in the Gulags. The idea that Afghanistan could have been a benign (soviet controlled) communist state is idiotic. What could be benign about granting more land and a (inferior) people to a country that killed 200 million of its own?

Vietnam was dealt with very poorly but after we left the morally superior egalitarians made 12 years of killing a mere foot-note in the advancement of leftism. No matter how much I despise LBJ, he was right that we should have used overwhelming force to crush the communists: We could have prevented the ensuing pogrom by instilling democracy, but leftists here and abroad thought it better that 10 million plus die in the name of "social justice". HEY! Pol Pot was one cool dude man, he believed in "social justice."

Pull your head out of your East Timor! Yes it was a cock up, but that is never a valid refutation for any more current situation. If I took a fiver out of my granny's wallet 25 years ago and today I would like to shelter a battered wife, would you scream "grannies fiver!" to impune my motives and send the beaten woman back home? Well, I guess you would because a private citizen is not allowed to engage in charitable activities-That is the function of the state.

You seem to believe that all Evil is a result of the military industrial coplex and that the US is at the heart of it, but if you would care to find the facts we are amoung the least industialized nations in the 'industrialized' world. What power does the MIC have as our industrialization falls? We are gaining in efficiency, while elsewhere governments, retards like you, and pubic and private Unions control the direction of the economy and they lag. Where would the MIC have the greatest influence?

In Europe and NZ you have so much government controlled socialist industry that you must create waste to provide jobs. OH CRAP! that adds to the power of the MIC! Industry now has to decide between between selling out to unions which the state protects, or remaining private and facing descrimination charges and fines at every turn. Our city dumps about a half a million tonnes of raw sewage per year into our river and all government agencies may do the same. Private industy, however, has been fined millions for dropping lead paint chips during bridge renovation. Hmmmmm, is half a pound of paint chips worse than millions of ponds of sewage? Shucks, I wonder if the government is more interested in driving private business into the public sector than providing for the general welfare.

Government will always exempt itself from any regulation which is why no industry should be nationalized. The Soviets dumped about 1 million tonnes of nuclear waste into the Tisza while our leftist pukes rail against 3 mile island which amounted to exactly nothing.

Chomsky has described himself as an Anarchist and as a Socialist. This is the same as declaring you are a libertarian and a monarchist. Why would he choose to take such disparate views? Well Chris, it is so he can appeal to the maximum number of useful idiots that would make his kind king and to sell the same book in 60 sepatate idiotic installments to fuck-tards like you that he may afford his penthouses and villas. Grab a clue and reject anyone who promotes "social justice", they are most likely promoting enrichment for themselves and the people they work for.

In America we have a constitutional right to bear arms exactly for the purpose of killing despotic assholes like you.

328 Right-wing jew  Fri, Aug 9, 2002 3:31:39am

Your numbers are a bit high. 40 million includes Gulag. Another 25-30 mil died during WWII. USSR had about 160 million total population at the time.

#328

your number are way low. the gulag figures from inception to 1989 is at least 160 million. The first purge was at least 12, the second purge (tons of Jews) was around 8 and the nationalization of farms (starvation and execution of the proles) and reorganization of the military claimed millions more. what we know about is at least 180 million (since 1917).

332 Spidly  Fri, Aug 9, 2002 4:58:15am

For absolute free traders; think about the millions that died in NW russia providing you with your cheap fishies. For socialiststs, think about what your ideology will always lead to.

Nice to see you have all cast me the Chomskyite role in your private fantasy ideologies :-)

Just wanted to point out that many of the worst of the worst in the Middle East are there because the West put them there. First we intall dictators into third world countries and then we attack them because.. hey! they're dictators!

If you muslims were rich or sucessfull, that might debatably be some indicator that you had your god's favor, but you are the most broke, miserable, illiterate and defeated people on earth.

Weren't you idiots all predicting that Allah would help the Taliban defeat the infidels in Afghanistan? Get a clue, dude. There are no invisable people living in the sky.

Attend to your life here on earth and maybe you won't be such losers. And maybe we won't have to bomb your dumb asses back to the ninth century you're obviously so keen to return to.

The owner of ClearGuidance.com is ALSO the owner of TALIBAN-NEWS.COM a HATE SITE of the worst order.

The contact information you have regarding the owner of ClearGuidance.com is falsified by him.

The reason I know this is because the people of forum.fuckedcompany.com launched a war against clearguidance months ago. Please go to forum.fuckedcompany and search for ""

He changed all of the WhoIs information away from his name and state (Ohio).
If he had nothing to hide he wouldn't have done that. The fact is he runs an anti-Semitic HATE SITE so he is trying to save his face now.

Guess what? The internet does not forget.

You will be surprised to find out that the owner of the website is none other than the owner of Taliban-News.com. It is "Halal Flowers" of New York.


Well you will also be surprised to find out the TRUE owner of those HATE SITES. "Halal Flowers" DOES NOT exist. The coward was threatened on an online message board and changed the registration information for his hate sites a while back.

I did research online and found all references to those sites and their affiliated companies.

What I found out:
1. Clearguidance.com first became noticed by the people at [Link: forum.fuckedcompany.com....] If you search their post history for references of clearguidance you will find about one hundred threads about the site. Read
[Link: forum.fuckedcompany.com...] and you will see that "Halal Flowers" is a decoy name.

2. The true owner of Taliban-News.com and ClearGuidance.com is a person by the name of Sarfaraz Jamal. He also posts online as Sas, and SasJamal. His real name is Sarfaraz Ibn Akhtar Jamal.

3. Sarfaraz Jamal owns vminds, inc. of Ohio. Since he registered it in Ohio, you can find his contact information by going to [Link: serform2.sos.state.oh.us...] and searching for "vividminds"

4. Googling all of his information reveals his identity:
Sarfaraz Ibn Akhtar Jamal (aka Sarfaraz Jamal / Sas / SasJamal)
7812 Kiowa Way
Worthington OH 43085
His last known phone number is: 614-848-8610.
Another phone number I found online was: 614 893 3687.

5. Websites/businesses he owns include: Vminds.com (S. Jamal's web design company)
ClearGuidance.com (HATE SITE)
Taliban-News.com (HATE SITE)
meemsites.com (S. Jamal's hosting company)
QUTUBI.COM (S. Jamal's web diary)

5. His last known email addresses are: sarfaraz.jamal@pemail.net, sas@vminds.com sjamal@ibm.net

6. He attends Devry at [Link: www.devrycols.edu...]

7. His employer is DigitalHookeup at [Link: www.digitalhookup.com...]

Credits: I credit Google.com and Groups.Google.com for making all of the above information so easy to find. Truly the best search engine on the web.

I hope this helps! PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD.


HOW YOU CAN SINGLE-HANDEDLY BRING DOWN TALIBAN-NEWS.COM AND CLEARGUIDANCE.COM:
1. The websites are both hosted by Everyone's Internet in Texas. They are hosted on [Link: WWW.RACKSHACK.NET....]

2. RACKSHACK.NET HAS A POLICY THAT RESTRICTS HATE SITES ON WEBSITES IT HOSTS.

3. GO TO RACKSHACK.NET AND LET RACKSHACK/EVERYONE'S INTERNET KNOW ABOUT THE HATE SITES.

4. THE MORE OF US EMAIL, THE MORE THEY WILL WANT TO TAKE DOWN THE HATE SITES. THREATEN BOYCOTT OF EV1/RACKSHACK IF THEY DO NOTHING.

why are u people ignorant? Muslims are your enemies. I am your enemy. i am in your land to guide you to the right path. isnt this freedom, as u call it, allow us to express our opnions? like the KKK?

besides, you only read the stuff you want to read: the stuff that makes this site look bad. why dont u read the stuff that shows the suffering of the muslims all over the world?

every conflict has two sides. dont be blind and stick to one side. we acknowledge that you don't like us so we dont like you. big deal. live with it, its a fact of life, death has to come so why waste your time with such little things like this?

its a bunch of electrons manipulated to show data on your screen, and if this data offends you then turn it off!

do something constructive with your time, join the army or something.

There is much my fellow Non Muslims that we have to learn about the scourge and dangers Islam places on the free world. They would like us all to be united under thier Kilfah so we can be thier slaves and pay the Jiyza tax.

To see an educated critique on the dangers of the Islamic religion, go no further than Faithfreedom.org. It has a mature group of users discussing the true culprit. There are no vulgar or hate filled postings calling for the death of others like on Muslim Forums.

To see another example like clearguidance.com, then go to Ummah.com/forums


They exist so that the people of truth in the world can see them for what they are.

343 PH  Sun, Aug 18, 2002 8:25:30pm

Correction, the URL is [Link: www.ummah.com...]


The forum is in a state of disrepair now though. It is being run under a dictator just like Islamic countries are.

Any word about thier religion from a kuffir (non-muslim) on which you find some things about the religion offensive even in the most respectable manner will get you banned.

However, they are free to post all vile obscenities against everyone and everything.

The adherants of Islam are never wrong. This is what they think. Its always everyone elses faught. There is no introspection in the religion.

Keep studying my Non Muslim brothers and you will in time see.

To Chris:


You said:

(Just wanted to point out that many of the worst of the worst in the Middle East are there because the West put them there. First we intall dictators into third world countries and then we attack them because.. hey! they're dictators! Reminds me of that quote "those that would put out men's eyes would reproach them for their blindness)

All Muslim countries according to most Muslims I talked to have dictators for leaders. All Muslims I have talked to have said there is no true Islamic State in the world.

Therefore, I think most of these dictators are a product of the Islamic religion.

If they werent, then why dont many of the Muslims commit Juhad on thier leaders before prancing off to kill infidels?

Why not clean up thier own backyard before trying to clean up others?

345 Awwwwwww  Mon, Aug 19, 2002 12:14:15pm

347 J.Lo  Wed, Aug 21, 2002 11:34:30am

I saw an article where someone said they("CG") link back to ummah.com.Does anyone know if this is true?

348 tara  Mon, Oct 14, 2002 9:44:27am

Reading some of the points put rorward here has disgusted me. How after all this can people still be so ignorant? Islam does not encourage these atrocities, the anger of Individuals does, and yes people will follow their message but this is not the message of true islam. So if islam really is a religon of peace, why the violence? In no way do i support the actions of terrorists, but the US, and other major powers need to sit back and ask themselves why is there so much hatred for them. To keep the American people safe and free from hate the tendencies of powerfull governments to exploit countries and their people in the name of capitalism needs to end. Countries all over the world are in termoil thanks to the interference of the west. As for Iraq, help the long suffering people of Iraq, and not Bush's thirst for oil and power.

Wow, these people are nuts. I'm glad that this site among others has brought the hate that these people spread to our attention. These guys are basically just as bad as any given neo-nazi site, only perhaps quite a bit more deceptive in calling their hate-filled site a "youth resource."

What I want to know is, how many of these fucktards would actually go out and kill for Allah? They're throwing around the subject of murder of the innocent like it's the latest fashion craze or something, but I doubt any of these shallow-minded fucks would have the balls (or the level of sheer stupidity and mindless devotion) to do such a thing.

Either way, getting their rocks off on the idea of killing innocent people is just plain sick no matter what way you slice it. It's even worse when they make excuses for it, and start projecting their own character flaws onto the people who they hate. In short, these people not only failed at religion; they failed at life.

350 DanSTC  Fri, Oct 18, 2002 1:46:25am

Oh yeah, this has to be one of the most bizarre things I've heard off the internet in a long time, quoted from someone on their site:

*****This makes me sick how these Muslims are like soemtimes like Jamal.

They are like a cancer in our ummah, wallahi they play a active role in our ummah being in this current state. We should jump to assumptions that he may be a Kafir, because believe me, there are many muslims who are like this.

I met one like this in my college, he made me so mad, he was saying "oh if Afghanistan were not to attack America, then the civilians in Afghanistan (25000+) would not have died.*****

Then he ends it with this gem of insanity:

*****I was going to kill him, but since their were disbelievers there, I bestowed my mercy on him-LOL*****

Disturbing, no? What's even worse is that a few people responded to this guy patting him on the back for "showing restraint." This is the level of self-righteous indignation, violence fixated hatred, and death-obsessed insanity we're dealing with here with these people.

Do keep in mind that these people represent extremist viewpoints, and in no way shape or form represent Islam as a religion, nation, or otherwise. 99.999% of muslims will not trade snuff films of people being killed, nor will they spew hate-filled insanity like these morons. These people are nothing more than a gaggle of sick fucktards masquerading behind the cover of an extremist viewpoint as an excuse to enact on their batshit insane socially retarded lunacy. So let's all keep this in mind as we ridicule these ignorant bastards every inch that they deserve.
