-RetweetThe Month of Jihad

Thu, Nov 20, 2003 at 8:38:15 am PST

Islamic terror gangs and mainstream groups are escalating their incitement to terrorist violence during Ramadan, and we are seeing the results. MEMRI has a selection of appalling examples from Arab media: Ramadan: Month of Jihad.

In an article titled, "The Great Month of Ramadan: The Oasis of the God-Fearing and the Season of Jihad for the Sake of Allah," the spiritual leader of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, Mamoun Al-Hudeibi, wrote: "Behold the month of Ramadan, month of the victories throughout history, among them the anniversary of the crossing of [the Suez Canal] on the 10th of the month of Ramadan [in 1973]. This [was] the Jihad battle and victory and a glorious and authentic picture of the Muslim soldier who cried 'Allah Akbar,' observed the worship, the fast, and the reading of the Koran, and succeeded in defending his nation's honor. The soldiers turned to Jihad and to crossing [the Suez Canal] while [remaining] loyal [to their religion], and thus Allah granted them victory over their enemies ... The victory that took place in the recent past can take place today and tomorrow, provided we return to Allah and convene under the banner of Islam ... "

During a Beirut parade at the beginning of Ramadan, the Mufti of Lebanon, Muhammad Rashid Qabbani, said: "Foreign imperialism returned in order to trample the Arab land, as was the case following World War I. We will never accept the Israeli foreign occupier in Palestine, and we will never accept the American foreign occupier in Iraq and Afghanistan. We must cooperate with the Palestinian people in Palestine, with the Iraqi people in Iraq, and with the Afghan people in Afghanistan to drive away the foreign American imperialism occupying our Arab land. Today, it also threatens some of our [Arab] countries – Syria and Saudi Arabia – through enticement and intimidation. Jihad is the slogan of our nation. We will fight the war of Jihad against the foreign occupier in Palestine, Iraq, and Afghanistan ...

"The word of Allah reigns supreme. It is this that will drive away the soldiers of the Israeli occupation of Palestine and the soldiers of the American occupation of Iraq ... This blessed month is the month of victory, but you must safeguard the security of your land. The security of [your land] lies in your solidarity, in the solidarity of your homeland Lebanon, and in your devotion to the country ... "

Sawt Al-Jihad, a biweekly magazine affiliated with Al-Qa'ida, wrote: "Jihad for the sake of Allah and fighting against the enemies of Allah is the peak of Islam and the greatest observance of the commandments and good deeds. The sanctity of Ramadan does not preclude Jihad in its various forms ... Bearing arms and Jihad for the sake of Allah during the month of Ramadan is empowering Allah and his sanctity in this month of Jihad for the sake of Allah, and it is the endeavor and the culmination of observing the commandments and in worship."

I've spent most of the last two days finalizing Christmas lists, budgeting to make sure my kids get good gifts and all the trimmings for their holy days, and wrestling with whether to spend it with my extended family in Michigan or stay close to home and stay intimate.

Meanwhile, the jihadis are plotting ways to kill me, my children, and my extended family.

And who do the idiotarians consider the greater threat to peace? Us.

To hammer home the idea that they (whoever "they" are in any instance) only come for the Jews first. When they come for the Jews no one is safe, because eventually they will come for everyone else.

The world chose to reward, coddle and ignore Palestinian jihad. Look at what the world's got to deal with now.

OT Dr. Laura has CAIR seething:

Islam's Defenders Blast Dr. Laura for On-Air Remarks

(CNSNews.com) - An Islamic civil rights group wants radio talk-show host Laura Schlessinger to apologize for what the group called an "anti-Muslim tirade" on her Nov. 17 program. ...

Dr. Laura made the remarks while responding to a mother who asked if her 16-year-old daughter, a student at a Catholic High School, should go on a field trip to a local mosque as part of a class on "moral themes."

"This is a class on morals. What is the point of going to a mosque?," Dr. Laura responded. "You're joking of course...How many Americans have tortured and murdered Muslims?, she asked.

"I think you ought to stand up against this class and this teacher. This is despicable. You tell him you are willing to go to the mosque only if it is one that has done its best to rout out terrorists in its midst...I am so sick and tired of all the Arab-American groups whining and complaining about some kind of treatment...What culture and what religion were all the murderers of 9/11?...They murdered us...That's the culture you want your daughter to learn about?"

Oh, I have no doubt the bombers are Arabs. But that was my point. They're calling for the "liberation" of Arab lands (Iraq, Palestine), as well as other Muslime countries (Afghanistan), but then committ two atrocities in Turkey which cause more Muslim casualties than anything else. Ofcourse, I never said the jihadists weren't hypocritical.

I just turned on cnn to see what was happening with the protests in England (prime focus at cnn). After listening to the last of amanpour's bleatings, the anchorbabe said "we will keep you up to date on the topling of the Bush statue (film in background of 20' tall GWB effigy). The demonstrators tried unsuccessfully to topple it during our last commercial break. As soon as they try again we will bring it to you live".
" Now we go to Istanbull and the British Embassy where..." and she went onto to describe the carnage by 'suspected AlQ terrorists'. I almost started to laugh out loud at the idiocy.

Are there really only a handful of rational people who see this crap for what it is?

The only important story is the toppling of the Bush effigy by a handful of cretinous commies?!?!

Good G*d, are we already this far gone?

Posted an earlier version of this on another thread, but given the above, might be worth a reprise.

We Need a Little Jihad
(to the tune of: We Need a Little Christmas)

Call out the faithful
We've got to gird our loins for
The great battle a-
Head to the borders
And take some orders from those
Leaders wanting Jews dead.

Chorus:
Cuz we need a little Jihad,
Right this very minute,
Semtex on our torsos
Hope we can begin it.
Cuz we need a little Jihad
Jihad means “our stuggle”.
And if you buy that explanation
You can leave on a vacation.

While you're relaxing
We're busy faxing memos
To our soldiers who-
Pray for to day now
To make you pay for all your
Wicked infidel ways.

Chorus:
Cuz we need a little Jihad
Just to keep us busy.
All the whines and seething
Starts to make us dizzy.
Yes, we need a little Jihad
Makes us warm and fuzzy.
And if you don't know where it's headin'
You don't know jack 'bout Armageddon.

Slayed ‘em in Turkey
While they were lurkin’
At their synagogue during-
Prayers are so useless
Because we’re ruthless and we
Strike when you're unawares.

Cuz we need a little Jihad
Keeps our spirits bouncing.
Kafirs we’re exploding,
Apes and pigs we’re trouncing.
Cuz we need a little Jihad
Keeps us from imploding.
Need a little
JIHAD NOW!

At this point it seems to be clear that the Islamists are trying to turn Ramadan into a latter day version of the Tet offensive.

I'm not sure that analogy is fair to the VC and NVA, since they actually took on the Americans and ARVN head on during Tet. However, Tet was portrayed as a US defeat by the media. The VC infiltrated Saigon and attacked the US embassy there, and there was a fierce battle with the NVA at Hue. Khe Sanh, right in the middle of the NVA and VC supply lines was under seige. Every day during the seige the news reports were filmed in front of the same downed chopper and it looked like the US was losing.

The fact is that the US and ARVN won the Tet offensive militarily. The VC were pushed out of Saigon with heavy lose and Hue was held. Khe Sanh may be one of the great tragedies of American military history in that a supremely heroic victory was labled a defeat by the press. An American unit, isolated by geography so it could only be resupply by chopper, is right in the middle of the enemy's supply line and is under attack by enemy forces in superior number. Early on, an ammo dump was hit by a mortar so supplies were a problem for the Americans. The NVA had to take Khe Sanh to ensure their supply lines south and fought fiercely but the Marines held. The offensive failed and after the battle and the NVA retreated they discovered a huge number of enemy dead surrounding the base. You can check it on Google, but it think it was something like 2000 enemy dead.

By every military standard Tet was a failure by the VC/NVA and a victory for the Americans and ARVN but that's not how most people remember it.

The Islamists are going on the offensive now. How organized it is I don't know, but they are mostly going after soft targets for now but they want to keep the pressure up so the left and the media will get the blood they need to whine and seethe and turn it into another Tet in terms of how the US public perceives it.

I worry how the Islamists will celebrate the end of Ramadan.

While calling us warmongers, the anti-Americans of all stripes think that we've lost our stomach for blood, that we cannot tolerate a soldier or two a day or a helicopter a week in the name of a good cause. Sure, the part of America that wants a risk free life and warning labels on everything might not understand the cost of freedom, but others do.

Why not invade Israel? says Gerald Kaufman.

He makes some good points. He isn't wrong exactly, in my view, about the effects of the fence (jihadi filter) to the local population but he does lay the blame for their wretched plight at the foot of Ariel Sharon and I certainly don't agree with that.

He really lets himself down at the end when he goes into knee jerk leftie mode:
US invasions of Grenada & Panama - check
US capital punishment - check
Gitmo - check
president who was never elected - check.

#31 Studebaker Hawk, "fantastic new superhero of the current economic slump":

Haven't you heard? Any military engagement involving Arab armies that ends anywhere short of said Arab armies being wiped out to the last man is a mighty and glorious victory.

Before it's too late, these people have to face the fact that the ONLY weapon they have against the West (including Israel) is the latter's reluctance to kill promiscuously - and that this reluctance is by no means guaranteed forever ...

Re: The protests in London and Miami

Al Capp, who penned the Li'l Abner comic strip, became a bit of a curmudgeon in the 60s and started to take on student protesters with some decidedly unfunny strips. This shows that the Al Franken disease is not restricted to the left. The danger of doing political comedy is moving from comedy to speechifying. Lenny Bruce was a supremely funny comedian but when he lectured his audience or read transcripts of obscenity trials, he lost his audience because it wasn't very funny.

Anyway Capp did come up with one funny joke. His students were members of an organization called SWINE. Students Wildly Indignant about Nearly Everything. It might be more accurate about today's transnazis, pro palis and anti-globals than it was about students in the 60s.

Watching the current crop of protesters reminds me of the scene in The Wild One where the young woman asks Brando's character, "What are you rebelling against?" and he diffidently replies "What do you got?".

The left is naricissism as a political movement.

What if during Ramadan, or any time, another successful strike on American soil occurs and kills hundreds of people? What about Israel? What do we do then? Do we still rely on the U.S. government and local agencies for protection? Or does it come to grabbing the rifle/shotgun/handgun and taking vigilante justice on any muslim whether that muslim is directly responsible thru action, knowledge, or just plain sympathy to the killers? Is anyone else losing sleep over this?

IS total war, including the extermination of a people that share a common belief, the appropiate reaction to a big attack? I know all here will answer "no". I hope not. I certainly do not want to advocate genocide, bust someitmes I begin to lose all hope. Or maybe the islamofascists understand that this might be a potential result and just peck and peck away. A few Americans here, a few Jews there... Do they really think the west couldn't destroy them if it actually chose to do so? I hold beliefs that murder is wrong, yet sometimes I fear that it will be the only deterrent to a cult of crazed, devoted, zealots.

Oh, dear. I just realized! According to Mr. Kaufman's reasoning, the USA is gonna have to invade the USA. Oh, the humanity! Oh the logistics!

Trying yet *another* way to avoid blown-up babies. And so far, it hasn't attained G-d-like perfection! So we don't have to care how many unfounded attacks--er, incidents were cut off by the new method - just trumpet the continued bloodshed, call that a reason to invade the victim, and pity the poor Palie perps. I begin to understand - the Islogic...)

NY Post, Nov. 20, 2003

City Council Fights Own Mideast War

A resolution denouncing former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamed for anti-Semitic remarks prompted a furious war of words yesterday in the City Council.

The measure passed, but Councilman Charles Barron (D-Brooklyn) drew criticism by voting against it and accusing his fellow lawmakers of always being pro-Israel.

"I will be voting against any resolution pro-Israel in this council until this council has the heart to be fair with the Palestinian cause and come up with a [similar] resolution," Barron said.

The council resolution was in response to last month's much-criticized speech by Mahathir, who told a large Muslim audience that "Jews rule the world by proxy" and Muslims must unite and build more weapons to achieve a "final victory" over them.

Council Speaker Gifford Miller (D-Manhattan) said the resolution was anti-bigotry, and called Mohamed's remarks offensive.

Ancient History Explained...

A team of archaeologists found a slab of rock with 5 figures carved on it, in order:

A Woman, A Donkey, A Shovel, A Fish, A Star of David.

After months of study, the leader took the rock and went on a lecture tour. He said the carvings were thousands of years old but even so, they revealed a lot about the people of that time.

The woman being placed first in the line of figures showed that women were held in very high esteem - most likely a family oriented culture.

They probably used the donkey to till the fields.
The shovel shows they were highly intelligent as they knew how to make tools.
The fish shows they knew how to augment the crops they raised by also reaping from the sea.
The Star of David of course indicates they were a very religious group of people.

A little old man in the front row finally got the attention of the speaker.

When acknowledged he said, "I'm sorry to blow your conclusions but you were reading it left to right. In Hebrew we read from right to left.

Some people are smoking way to much funny ciggeretts on the imc forum. They are now claiming that Mossad had an operations headquarters in Iraqi it was bombed.

Its amazing really the reputation that the Mossad has in the Arab world. They seem to think the Jews are everywhere. I suspect that the reputation is furthered by all those fiction writers that specialize in spy novels and portray the Mossad as the ones always lerking around the corners committing acts of revenge for killings of Jews.

His son Gamal (known as "Jimmy", the 'pro-western' corrupt businessman with connections) is indeed being groomed to take over.
However, he does not win the support of the Army as of yet, which is crucial.

Not to mention Egypt now borders on a famine.
An acute shortage of wheat is expected very soon, which will destabilise the situation.
In addition to that, the local Jihadies - Gama'a Islamiya - is getting considerably stronger, and being appeased by the gov't (just recetly more than a thousand members released from prison).

And while all that happens, it was just authorized to sell Egypt some Harpoon 2 maritime cruise missiles.
Also improved M1A2 tanks.

We've made a terrible societal error brought on by our reaction to the usage of atomic weapons - the belief is that H-bombs represent total war and it became unthinkable and, if thinkable, then irrational;

- by extension, that makes all military use a "limited" activity - we are forever arguing about the boundary conditions at the limits.

pre-atomic age, total war was strategic and rational - blitzkrieg, all-out aggression. Nuclear capability has pacified us, directly and irreversibly, and the RoP exploits it.

Kind of late, but to set the record straight:

1973 was successful for the Egyptians initially and is considered one of the greatest modern military victories in Arab countries. The Egyptians successfully crossed the Suez and took control of a large lodgement on the east side (which would have been very defensible against the IDF with a combination of dug-in defensive positions, AT weapons, and a SAM umbrella). However, they pressed their advantage (Sadat usually gets blamed for this) and pushed into the Sinai where the regrouped IDF handed them their asses. Israeli tanks were ranging around west of the Suez by the end and could have taken Cairo if they wanted before international powers (US and USSR) stepped in and put a stop to it. The nature of the eventual defeat of Egypt is considered by most to have directly led to the 1978-79 peace accords.

A similar thing happened in Golan (simultaneous attack with Egypt -- actually quite a military feat for Arab armies) with a massive Syrian armor attack nearly succeeding before IDF reserves and AIR saved the day.

When you almost always lose in straight up military conflicts with Israel or the west, even a little victory like early in the 1973 war is fondly remembered in the Arab world.

Yeah, you see you must be reading western history. You know, the Arabs attacked the Israelis on Yom Kippur, and then the Israelis trounced the Arabs in approximately three weeks.

But in Arabspeak (Arab fantasy), that was a great victory for the Arabs because:

1) Unlike the Six Day War in 1967, they actually got off a successful attack (never mind that all the Jews were in temple praying at the time),

2) Unlike the Six Day War in 1967, the war lasted over three weeks before the Arabs were trounced.

3) They fought the Jews. That in itself is a moral victory for Arabs.

Which leads me to imagine an equivalent story taking place during WWII--in Washington, D.C.

Washington (Reuter News)--Protesters opposed to American involvement in the war marched to the Washington Monument today with a giant paper mache statue of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

The protesters, who later trampled on the statue and burned it, blame the British Prime Minister for involving America in the European war.

"Pearl Harbor was just an excuse," said Joe Mangiacake, a 21-year-old plumber's apprentice from Brooklyn. "Everyone knows it was "Churchitler" who started this war."

Another protester, Jack Whitbread, 18, from Connecticut, said "American boys are dying every day and for what? Just so England can get its hands on some coal."

The protesters also carried a giant puppet of President Roosevelt and chanted "FDR is Winnie's poodle, he will never use his noodle..."

Then why in the hell are you blowing people up in Turkey?

Simple. Because they can. Because there are ANY Western entities within the country. Because they can reach them. Because Turkey is not yet a Sharia-Shithole. Because despite Turkey's refusal to allow their terrirtory to be used as a staging ground for US ground assault into Northern Iraq, Turkey is a member of NATO, in Alliance with the West, and for over 12 years the Coalition aircraft operating over the Northern No-Fly Zone of Iraq were based in Incirlik, Turkey. There's been a huge US base there since the end of WW2. In fact, IIRC, U2 flights over western Russia were conducted from that base.

Not only that, but they are pretending that the OTHER 'great crossing of the Suez' which occurred on Oct 16&17 1973, never happened. Sharon's units crossed, roamed eastern Egypt and cut the supplies to the Egyptian forces operating in the Sinai.
Sadat and his propaganda ministers were proclaiming 'Victory!' from the opening shots, and all they way through, regardless of the situation, and still did so even after Sadat balked and left Syria (& don't forget the Iraqi division) at the table to pay the bill.

Saudis' strict Islam called a 'threat'

By Tom Carter
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
Saudi Arabia continues to fund and export its Wahhabi brand of Islam, making it a "strategic threat" to the United States in the worldwide war on terror, the chairman of the U.S. government commission on religious freedom said yesterday.
"It is an ideology that is incompatible with the war on terrorism," said Michael Young, chairman of the State Department's Commission on International Religious Freedom.

Dear Fidels,
It seems that your pagan moon god has promised you the world. Then why can't you just give up that little tiny land called Israel for the Jews. I mean that's all they want.
Don't you think Saudi Arabia is large enough to practice your mercy killings. It has plenty of desert space. Really ideal for your moon god to see your good work out in the open and reward you with plenty of wine and virgins in paradise…you never know…your god may even throw in a few boys if you kill a couple of camels too. After all, camels must be infidels too since they don’t pray 5 times a day in a trance, and then go off and rape & kill infant camels.

He, too, is being detained by the military — indefinitely, without seeing an attorney, even though he hasn't been charged with any crime.

Both have been charged before federal civilian courts.

Tell him hes right, the terrorists should be released. If nothing else it will shut him up. Dont bother trying to argue with him. Just protect your self, and vote against his beliefs. Its much easier to argue with a vote to protect yourself than it is to argue with these loons.

Remember - you are right, so if these 'people' are released, hell eventually have to eat crow, and eat crow at the death of real people, that supposedly matter to him.

Hell yeah, it's sad. I'd be less irritated if they'd at least throw me a bone with a "news roundup" type of thing, giving a snippet of the events of the day. They're not even going to commercial. I actually thought the coverage of the protests was funny--they have to show the protesters (to be fair and all, you know, because their antics are just as important as blah blah) if they're going to show any footage of Bush and Blair speaking, and that's what I want to see.

And if you're in SoCal right now, you have my sympathy. You, my friend, are in the belly of the beast.

Way OT (and no, I don't have a link) This is from a few years ago, but since I saw many questions above about Ramadan, I just thought I would dig it out and pot it.

The Night Before Ramadan
by: Mullah Mohammed Omar

'Twas the night before Ramadan,
And all through the cave
Not a creature was stirring;
It felt like a grave.

The turbans were hung by the firepit with care,
In hopes that the Air Force would not soon be there.
The soldiers were restless without any beds,
While visions of air strikes flashed in their heads.

Osama in his burkha and I in my goatskin cap,
Had just settled down for a cold, barren winter's nap,
When out on the ledge there arose such a clatter,
I grabbed my Kalashnikov to see what was the matter.

Away from the racket I ran like a girl,
Tripped over a goat; into a ball I did curl.
The moon shone down on the new-fallen snow
And lit up the valley with an ominous glow,

When, what to my one good eye should appear,
But a dozen Apaches, and tanks in the rear,
And their leader, so fearless, his troops he did push,
I knew in an instant it must be George Bush.

More rapid than eagles his forces they came,
And they whistled, and shouted, and called out our names;
"Now Omar! Osama! Muhammad! Abdul! We come for you now; we've taken Kabul! To the top of the cliffs! To the back of their caves! When you chose this war, you dug your own graves!"

As the dry leaves that before the assault choppers fly,
When they meet with an obstacle, light up the sky,
So up to the ledge his forces they flew
With full magazines, and flamethrowers too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard with a thud
The explosions of Tomahawks; not one was a dud.
As I chambered my rifle, and was turning around,
Osama was there, disguised in a gown.

He was dressed all in drag, from his head to his toes,
And he said he would flee while I held off his foes;
A bundle of money he had stuffed in his pack,
He said "I'm going to Baghdad and I'm not looking back!"

His eyes were all glassy; he trembled with fear;
The American bombs, they rang in his ears.
He saddled his goat, then turned tail and fled,
But a Marine Corps sniper got him in the head.

I watched with cold fear as his body did slump;
The goat threw him off; he fell with a thump.
And so, there I stood, my plans all destroyed,
About to suffer a fate I could not avoid;
I dropped to my knees; asked Allah for help,
His voice boomed in my ears, "You ignorant whelp!
I gave you the Bible, the Torah and Koran,
But you were too arrogant to understand,
I told you to honor your neighbors and wives;
Not to enslave them, or degrade their lives!

You invoke My name to sanction your deeds,
But you are the last thing that this world needs.
And so, I'll send you and bin Laden to Hell."
The last words I heard, as the bombs fell,
Were from George Bush himself as he mounted the wall,
"One nation, under God, with liberty and justice for all!"

I have to hand it to Karl Rove. Getting Michael Jackson arrested less than a year before the presidential election is a stroke of genius for the re-election of George W. Bush.

When it comes to news coverage, the 24-hour news networks, major newspapers, local stations--everyone--will be focused on that. Who's going to pay attention to the whiny Democrats and their complaints about Iraq (especially since the economy is improving)--when the Michael Jackson trial is going on? Talk about a feeding frenzy!

A year from now as people are getting ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas, they're going to pause and say, "Wasn't there supposed to be an election or something this year? Oh, well."

Don't know how Rove pulled it off, but it's brilliant.

You may laugh (as do I) but last Sunday night, the CBC aired a documentary purporting to cast doubt on the moon landing. According to this British-made doc, NASA, using the assistance of Dr. Strangelove director Stanley Kubrick, connived to bamboozle the world by fabricating the moon landing. The only reason I can think of for why this urban (actually, space) legend is re-emerging now is to cast doubt on of the U.S.'s foremost achievments. Because everyone knows we can't trust those Americans, especially that bastard, George W. Bush.

Is the "Allah" referred to by this radical Islamist magazine the same Allah referred to in the Koran?

The Creator. In the Name of Allah, the Compassionate, the Merciful. Praise be to Allah, the Creator of heaven and earth! He sends forth the angels as His messengers, with two, three or four pairs of wings. He multiplies His creatures according to His will. Allah has power over all things.


-- The Koran, 35:1

Bearing arms and Jihad for the sake of Allah during the month of Ramadan is empowering Allah


--Sawt Al-Jihad, a biweekly magazine affiliated with Al-Qa'ida

The Allah in the Koran "has power over all things", and is "the Compassionate, the Merciful". The allah-pretender worshipped by the Sawt Al-Jihad author needs empowering by humans, and deals mainly in humans bearing arms and carrying out warfare during the month of Ramadan.

The radical Islamists may be worshippers of hiraba-allah, the god of terrorism, a mixture of the devil and mars, and some others, who, by the way, also is a wimpy pimp who operates a Great Whorehouse in the Sky ( to give splodeydopes their reward). I don't see how any self-respecting Muslim can pretend that hiraba-allah is the same as the Allah of the Koran.

So these radical Islamists are polytheists after all, and according to Wahhabi doctrine they should be executed. Or else, they are making fun of Allah, ridiculing Allah, and are therefore apostates, and should be executed.

Way OT - (which way will she go, joe?)

The IDF has dismantled many of its largest army bases in the Jordan Valley over the past months. As a result, neighboring Arab residents have begun to move in, use the land for farming and steal the equipment remaining at the sites.

Defense Minister Sha’ul Mofaz has called a special meeting to discuss the matter after receiving a request from Jewish residents of towns in the Jordan Valley to remedy the situation. The residents are concerned about the reduction in IDF presence in the region.

Arutz-7’s Haggai Huberman reports that the most serious dismantling took place in the southern Jordan Valley, near the Jewish communities of Yitav and Niran. It took place in recent weeks and had been one of the largest IDF bases in the region. Another large base was dismantled a number of months ago.

Following the evacuations, Arabs began to plant on the sites and surrounding training areas located around Wadi Oudja. The entire Oudja region, from Wadi Yitav until the border of PA-controlled Jericho, has now been transformed into a large Palestinian settlement, slowly filling with buildings, tin huts and tents.

IDF’s ‘Gadi’ base has already been dismantled, the last remaining structured destroyed this past month.

The Jordan Valley residents are very suspicious that the continued dismantling of IDF bases in the northern and central Jordan Valley as well, will lead to complete Arab authority over all of the vacant areas and training facilities.

The decision to remove the army bases was made during the Barak administration, but implemented by the IDF only recently. Only after the evacuations had begun were Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz notified. Mofaz has called a meeting to discuss the matter, scheduled to take place today (Thursday). Mofaz may also cancel the destruction of unauthorized outposts throughout Yesha (Judea, Samaria and Gaza).

Excerpt

By the time they snaked their way onto Waterloo Bridge, they had almost become engulfed in silence. It was beginning to resemble a long forced march to a labour camp and the audible attempt at rousing another chant succumbed to the collective necrosis ("Bush...Blair...Lousy Hair"). I decided to take my leave at that point. Gone was all the snarling nihlism and revolutionary bravura I had witnessed back in February. All the remained now was a long trail of the incoherent, the incomprehensible, the dysfunctional and the faintly repulsive. This was not so much a demonstration as a wave of human spam.

The depravity of Islam seems to know no bounds. Atleast the Germans did not deliberately target children and again German attacks had some strategic purpose. With Islam there is no such, except to intimidate the non-muslim world to convert to Islam. Their increasingly violent attacks seem to indicate a desperation that the end may be near for Islam.

On e thing good though, large numbers of muslims are beginning to leave Islam. The only reason that many are in it is that they are deadly afraid to leave.

Apropos of this why are there no support mechanisms in the West for ex-muslims. There should be, just as there are for battered women etc. But we are unable to do so as we have designated islam as the RoP. And so it is, that what seemed to be a harmless political expedient, actually affects policy and the safety of possibly thousands of muslims in the West, who would like nothing better then to get the hell out.

But in Germany is it not allowed to tell anything aganinst other religion. So we have the problem with the law.

Have anyone an idea what we can do?

That's right. And then comes another 30 days of bombs, the month of Shawwal.

And then 45 more weeks of bombings and violence in honor of Mosucsass.

#192 triple X, if you used an American web host (like liquit2k.net), you are infinitely more difficult to prosecute.

Good luck, and welcome to the LGF group.

Just quote the Koran without comment. Or the comment should be: "Isn't this interesting"!

Turkey has been a member of NATO for 40 years. They are a part of Europe.

Come on you International lawyers out there..Tell xxx how to parse the sit. How to talk about being against Terrorists without making it specific to Islam as such. It isn't really..Its just that most of the Terrorists happen to be Islamic. I dont see many Eskimos out there blowing up Synagoges...Certainly Zoroastrian and Bahi Clerics aren't making THEIR sermons or talks just an excuse to exhort their followers to kill Americans and other Westerners and the ever popular Jooosss. VET it for him. Tell him how to say how much he hates VIOLENCE without ending up in a German Klink.

XXX..Just in case you ought to know that people here dont want ANY targeting of Turks in Germany. That isnt nice either...If they arent doing anything but just makin a living there, not at all connected in ANY way to bad stuff..they arent responsible and need to left alone to live their lives.

I couldnt call my self a Jew IF I didnt say this.

From the same web site: Isratine?

Gimme a break!

I think xxx wants us to read that particular article about Turkey being the gateway to Europe for little bin Laden clones. Although the website in question is the Official Site of Muammar Gadafi, so the "Isratine" article didn't surprise me. In fact, that site is comedy gold! Read a few more of the leader's "pronouncements". The one about 9/11 and terrorism is truly bizarre, and not just because the person who wrote it is NOT fluent. It's like reading a continuous Babelfish translation.

Someone should do a graph of terrorist attacks indicating which Muslim month each of them occurred in.

We've got a feeling that attacks have increased during Ramadan, but having a nice-looking graph does wonders. Remember the graph dissident Frenchman (I think) did of who armed Saddam?

So when exactly does this blood-soaked "holy" month of Ramadan end?

A couple of questions related to the Istanbul bombings:
Since 9-11 a lot of folks have believed more attacks in the continental US were inevitable if not imminent. Al Qaeda (either a coherent organized group, or just a bunch of crazies who kill Muslims and infidels indiscriminately) has been active overseas (Bali, Israel, Riyadh, Iraq, Turkey) but not in the US or UK. Are they frightened by the US/UK response to 9-11 (Afghanistan, Iraq, next?) Have they refocused their prime targets to apostate Muslim regimes? Is it too hard to organize attacks in the US, or have we caught too many domestic Islamofascists (that darn repressive Bushitler/ Cheney/ Halliburton/ Ashcroft regime!) Or have they just not gotten around to us?
I know it’s futile to try to get in the head of Islamofascists but it just seems curious.
Second point- there have been lots of warnings on the net the last week about another big attack here; UK is on high alert (I wonder if there is more reason than just the Bush visit.) Were there similar warnings about the Istanbul bombs?
Thoughts or comments, anyone?

Sorry, but you don't live in Germany. Why do you open your borders to mexico, they are a part of Amerika?

From the comments section of your link:

That pink love tank took several weeks of work by that woman who designed it. What sort of stupid, vandalistic, idiots, in a moment of Bush-stylee hysteria put a match to it and destroyed it in a matter of minutes


Stupid, vandalistic idiots? What? I did not see any stupid, vandalistic idiots at these protests. Did any of you? This idiot was disturbed by the very nature of these trolls.

It was a wonderful turning inside out of the death cult icon of the Tank (which is itself a kind of Dark-side appropriation of the womb).

LOL!!!

Respect to the woman who made it


Idioten

Perhaps next time you should not make a tank out of paper and wood. It's less likely to burn.

"Perhaps next time you should not make a tank out of paper and wood. It's less likely to burn."

Do you reckon thats why they make the real ones out of metal?

Hansy: Reading your page. This is not something that you can read in a sec. Need to study it.

Hans..its simple to me. Probably not so simple BUT.. this is how I see it..Everyone knows the quality of the German mind and work ethic. Isnt anything you all cant do if you put your mind to it. Almost always been that way. To get rid of the so called guilt..all Germans have to do is admit what happened and NOT DO IT AGAIN and go on with their excellent business. That would be the END of it. Period.

Lots other things to DO and accomplish for Germany in the World other than finding yet another way to trash Jews. Germany can use its considerable talents to be a force for GOOD..if they want to. The world would CHEER if Germany itself put a stop to what might be growing in their midst. Time is limited in everyones existance..Why waste time and effort on hating Jooosss again. Geeze.

***Im just starting to hear stuff I dont like once again. Muted..but its there.

Thanks for people like YOU. Heres hoping more and more come to your understanding.

France? Shoot..I dont get them at all...Another excellent achieveing group that wastes their energy on Hating Jooosss. Boy youd think they would have learned by now how COUNTERPRODUCTIVE excessive Jew Hate can be.

Why you should read the Washington Times:

Today's front page article.

Islamists mark holy month with bombings

Think you'll ever see the NYTimes print this?

This year's Ramadan has left a bloody trail of death in Islamic countries worldwide.

When I see the header read "Muslims mark holy month with bombings", I'll know we're making progress on the WoT (misnomer).

OT:

You gotta love this header from Haaretz:

18:24Ex-Iranian president Rafsanjani says America mistaken for backing Israel instead of supporting Middle Eastern states (AP)

Yeah, now that we've got the UK, France, and Germany in our pockets, why don't you guys get smart and get with the program?

Reminds me of an interview Mike Wallace did a few years ago with Hamas and one of the killers said to Wallace: America should side with Muslims; the Jews have a black future. It was chilling.

"...among them the anniversary of the crossing of [the Suez Canal] on the 10th of the month of Ramadan [in 1973]. This [was] the Jihad battle and victory"

...and led directly to the ASS KICKING administered by the People of the Book, who could have held the Canal to this day if they had had a mind to. *Shakes head*. This is the essence of true romance. A laserlike focus avoiding the obvious/truly true.

Harold Pinter recently wrote an open letter to President Bush inviting him to drink a cup of blood presumably as a toast to the war in Iraq. I must have missed the open letter he surely must have written to Sadam Hussein after he used poison gas on his own people. Did he also write an open letter regarding the thousands who were tortured and subsequently murdered in the killing fields of Iraq?

Or is castigation only used by the left in reference to those trying to better the world?

Talk about hypocrisy
