Loony ArabNews Rant of the Day
One of the craziest writers at the ArabNews site is Saudi princess Reem Mohammed al-Faisal (lgf: search), and yesterday she uncorked a fine example of state-of-the-art Islamic ranting, with a veneer of globalism and socialism to appeal to Western moonbats: Can a Value System Supposedly Primitive Pose a Threat to West? link: 124 comments |
"I have no problem whatsoever with muslims wanting to live according to the values system they derive from their religious belief.I have a huge problem with them exporting this belief system out of the Mid and South East through violent means."
Here is list of debunking what they CLAIM to have invented.
LGF Audio: Jail Imam's Speech to MSA
We’ve had several reports on the head of Islamic chaplains in the New York City Department of Corrections, who gave a speech to a Muslim Students Association meeting in which he said the “greatest terrorists in the world occupy the White House,” Jews control the media, and Muslims are being tortured in Manhattan jails. When the speech was exposed, he claimed the remarks were taken “out of context.”
Thanks to the Investigative Project on Terrorism, Little Green Footballs has obtained the recordings of Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil’s speech, just to make sure that everything is in its proper context.
We have a full transcript of these two recordings, also provided by the Investigative Project, here: Umar Abdul-Jalil Transcripts.
If only our friend and ally were this energetic against jihad terrorism. "Pakistan weekly spills 9/11 beans," from the Telegraph of India... Comments (70) "Nothing new here. The Muslims, because they cannot stand on the truth, have to resort to bribes. After all, their "profit" was a con man wasn't he??"
A Jihad Watch reader has alerted me to a post at Lawrence Auster's View from the Right, "Robert Spencer’s apparent contradictions on Islam."
The apparent contradiction revolves around the fact that I have on many occasions appraised the prospects for Islamic reform realistically, and then today at FrontPage Comments (34)
"I came to the conclusion that moderate islam is merely radical Islam in a state of hibernation a long time ago. We will have all the oil we need,when islam is dead and buried..."

The Fallaci Code is a review of The Force of Reason, in the LA Weekly.

AL QAEDA CHATTER at pre-9/11 levels. I'm not sure what that means, but unless they're saying "this whole terror thing sucks, let's quit," it's probably bad news.
Author Edward Cline says it so well that I need not write another word. He covers the silly notion that other cultures are untouchable and must be respected. Where does this come from? What happens if we acquiesce? In what direction are we headed? Read the way Cline expresses the problem and our failure to meet that threat head on.
It is semantics. I am the pacifist. I want to live free or die. It is clear to me the battle we face is for freedom, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and anyone that infringes upon that is declaring war. Turn the other cheek? And then what?
Past generations have fought the battle of ideas and won. Freedom triumphed. Every generation must fight their battle for freedom, this is ours.
Oriana Fallaci in her brilliant new book, The Force of Reason states it plainly,, the force of reason as it were, the true nature of war;

It's Not Xenophobia, It's Xenonausea--It is not Xenophobia. It is Xenonausea. People are sick of having the whole world shoved down their throats at once and being told it tastes like ice cream. They are sick of every street corner and parking lot being filled with criminal aliens waiting to work off the books and outside the laws that are applied so enthusiastically to actual Americans. They are sick of pressing “1” for English. They are sick of being at war with foreign terrorists and simultaneously being economically and demographically bound more tightly to the nations producing these terrorists. They are sick of being told that the world is global or flat or smaller or at their doorstep or all coming for dinner on Tuesday

Iraq Documents Show Saddam Terror Connections
The trove of documents discovered in Iraq has been released to the public, and we’re now starting to see the results; Michelle Malkin has some early translations that are already making clear Saddam Hussein’s connections to terrorists—including Osama bin Laden.link: 80 comments
Newly released document links Saddam to al-Qaida
[Indicates regime was cooperating with bin Laden group to strike U.S.]
Among the pre-war documents posted online yesterday by the Pentagon is a letter from a member of Saddam's intelligence apparatus indicating al-Qaida and the Taliban had a relationship with the regime prior to the 9-11 attacks.

Adnan G. El Shukrijumah is a Saudi terror suspect with a $5 million bounty on his head. The FBI has been hunting him for nearly a year. He has been billed as the "next Mohammed Atta."
The potential threat of al-Qaeda using the Caribbean Basin as a base of operations came to the fore when allegations circulated that Adnan G. El-Shukrijumah, a known al-Qaeda operative, was reportedly spotted in Honduras in June 2004... Trinidadian sources go a step further and tie Shukrijumah to the Darul Uloom, an Islamic institute in Trinidad, and claim he may have infiltrated Central America via Trinidad and Tobago

Meanwhile, the blogosphere's Army of Translators--mother of all hat tips to Glenn Reynolds--is busy with Project Docex. DISCLAIM THIS
So, the MSM is slowly picking up on the historic release of thousands of documents from Saddam Hussein's archives. But not without making a concerted effort to downplay and undermine the story. Readers are calling attention to the disclaimers included in this ABC News story. Will we see that helpful disclaimer--"this document is of limited evidentiary value"--the next time ABC News or Newsweek or the NYTimes or the Washington Post uses unnamed, uncorroborated informants? *** IraqtheModel has another translation. (Hat tip: Roger L. Simon) Stay tuned to Pajamas Media:
Let the Pajamas folks know if you have posted translations/analysis of any of the Docex docs. Lots of work to do. It's funny that these documents are getting so little attention from the press.

"The Cartoonifada was staged. The Frenchintifada was staged. It's, as you say, intimidation tactics. It's working against the West mainly because the LLL have a stranglehold on the media. Only one message gets out. The LLL/MSM are content to side with the Jihadi for three basic reasons: 1. Some are self-loathing multiculturalists that are willing to sacrifice themselves and their heritage to atone for what they believe to be the guilt of their ancestors. 2. Many of the LLL/MSM are basically shills for the DNC and hate GWB and the GOP with such a passion that they would delight in the deaths of millions of American citizens and soldiers if it helped them in the mid-term elections. 3. The rest of the LLL/MSM are socialist/communist and want our system and economy to fail so they can seize and direct it."Israel's colonisation of Palestine blocking peace, says Jimmy Carter --That this was published in Haaretz, after yesterday's vile little screed, doesn't surprise me.

SADDAM AND TWO COMMANDERS SAID IT: As for whether the media in America report it or not is yet to be seen...
A number of weeks ago - as the MuscleHead Revolution first pointed out (and again in my syndicated column...) - former Saddam military leaders have pointed out and are verifying that Iraq had WMD's, used WMD's, and now at least two witnesses are saying he moved them out via jumbo jet flights into Syria.
Then came the audio tapes first played on ABC's Nightline. And the more the tapes are being examined the worse it looks...today's Washington Times has details. But now that additional former Iraqi military leaders have come forward, what will the critics say? AND WHERE IS THE NATIONAL MEDIA ON THIS? AND IF ALL THAT WEREN'T ENOUGH: Iran is to begin building its second nuclear facility... (note in the story the almost laughable consequence that the U.N. is threatening - oooooh so scary s a n c t i o n s... yeah that should be enough to stop the second coming of Hitler.)
Stephen Hayes at the Weekly Standard has long pressed for the release of millions of Iraqi intelligence documents captured by the US when Baghdad fell. He argued for years that the trove of correspondence would shed light on critical disputes about the Iraq war and the actual threat presented from Saddam Hussein and his genocidal regime.New documents released show that the Iraqis funded the Abu Sayyaf terrorists in the Philippines, a band of bloodthirsty Islamists with strong ties to al-Qaeda: At the same time that leftists would have us believe that Saddam was safely in a "box" and contained by UN sanctions, he had corrupted the UN's aid program and plundered his own nation for billions of dollars. And these aren't just local Islamists, either, as the Center for Defense Information noted in March 2002: CNN also notes the AS/AQ connection in its section on Asian terrorists. Time reported it in November 2002 in a profile on Abu Sayyaf and its operations. Those connections between Saddam and Islamist terror, specifically al-Qaeda, look a lot more significant with this new information. Comments (12)

The Lodi Jihad Trial
Another case that seems to be under a media blackout is the Lodi terror cell trial in Sacramento. The American press seems to have collectively (either deliberately or with a dumb herd animal mentality) decided to downplay and/or ignore all evidence of terrorist activity inside the US, because this trial is getting near-zero publicity: Prosecutor says ‘Book of Jihad’ found in Lodi terror suspects’ home.

In Indonesia, the showcase “moderate” Islamic state, eleven percent of Muslims say suicide bombings are justifiable, and almost half support stoning adulterers to death: ...it's 1 in 10 who are willing to admit they support terrorism.

Not long ago, ABC News broadcast a number of tapes that recorded meetings of Iraqi officials before the American invasion, including Saddam Hussein and his inner circle. After the tapes aired, the general opinion was that the tapes had some historical and contextual interest but provided no smoking guns on Saddam's instransigence. The DoD and DNI have now posted transcripts of all the tapes, and the information contained within them may change that evaluation.
Ray Robison has begun a blogswarm to highlight the review of the documents. Be sure to read his ongoing commentary on the transcripts. For instance, page 6 of this document shows that Saddam was kept informed of the status of three German scientists working in the employ of Saddam:

Ay caramba, in the middle of all this -- I'm halfway through my SF moonbat report -- the crew of hackers that have been harrassing me out of "l'Universite Sidi Med Ben Abdallah de Fes" (i.e. the University of Fez in Morocco) have again gone on a rampage of seizing control of unattended computers around the world and using them to bombard me with viruses. I just checked the email and got a fresh byte-blitz of virus-laden emails from Lebanon, American University in Wash DC, and Ben Gurion University Israel (I'm guessing from the "...@bgumail.bgu.ac.il" suffixes), and a bunch of random French sites. Either the Moroccans are partial to hacking French computers, or the French are utterly lackadaisical in protecting themselves from being hacked. But the IPs all trace back to Morocco. http://www.zombietime.com/ Zombie? take a gander at this. Looks like those DNS attacks could get a whole lot worse.

Jeremiah trekked ten rain drenched miles for a Victor Davis Hansen lecture in Berkeley. Some recollections;
Here's what the q&a brought out as to his take on America's current military commitments. (This was when I really regretted not having a recording device.) A few quotes:
* "We will see things [examples of desperate, escalating, asymmetrical warfare] you won't believe in the war on terror over the next four or five years."* "A society as sophisticated as ours can take a [billions-dollar damaging] '9/11' only once about every 30 years."* "This country [the U.S.] is capable of things [military strikes] you won't believe."* He said his father often complained about America's decision to drop the A-bomb on Japan: "It was a terrible mistake, we should have dropped it earlier."* "Very bad [military] ideas can work if they're tactically sound and if people believe they can work." (Twice he stated he believes Hitler could have conquered the USSR with less of his own meddling or with different diplomatic strategies.)
Thanks Jeremiah, it's not that we weren't aware of these realities, but when articulated so precisely, it's frightening. Comments (2) |
