ISLAMerica

Here's a nightcap for a wicked day. Amerabia has lost its marbles. Hezbollah Judge? My new favorite contemptible oxymoron. Debbie Schlussel has the whole story here ISLAMerica: HEZBOLLAH JUDGE ELECTED in MICHIGAN!  Open Hezbollah supporter and extremist Muslim, David Turfe, was unfortunately elected Michigan District Court Judge in Dearborn Heights' 20th District. (Dearborn Heights is home to North America's second largest mosque, headed by the former spiritual leader of Ayatollah Khomeini's Iranian Navy, Imam Mohammed Elahi--a domestic agent of Iran & Hezbollah.)Remember the Hezbollah rally I attended at the Bint Jebail Cultural Center a/k/a the Hezbollah Social Club, at the height of the war between Hezbollah and Israel--where speakers made a plethora of anti-American, anti-Semitic, anti-Christian speeches? Turfe was there campaigning, and openly supporting and cheering all of those statements. Not surprisingly, the Pro-Hezbollah/pro-HAMAS, Islamist Arab American PAC, which denies Israel's right to exist, endorsed Turfe. (AAPAC's then-Secretary Lola Elzein sent me and my family death, torture, and rape threats, coupled with Holocaust denial.) Permalink | Comments (3)

There are a few lessons to be learned from this election, and they are all sad. First, Americans no longer have any stomach for military casualties. It's almost to the point where maybe we should close down the armed services and lower the taxes. If we can't get any soldiers hurt, why have them?

The public now seems to think that joining the service is kind of like college in uniform, and it's an outrage if someone gets killed. It's a disaster cause we've had 3000 killed in four years. We lost something like 1500 drowned in accidents training for D-Day!

If this is the case, perhaps we should just have some ICBMs and have the policy that if we are attacked, we will fire them. Second, the elections are decided not by the thinking, interested, educated people that read and write blogs, whether left or right, but by dummies who know a heck of a lot more about JLo and K-Fed than Middle East history, let alone economic theory. Third, as long as the libs control the mass media, which is still mostly seen by the dummies as unbiased and the truth, they can control what the dummies believe.

The dummies have a tv mentality. All problems are black and white, and the heroes do nothing wrong and make no mistakes, only the obvious bad guys are killed, and all problems are neatly wrapped up within a half hour to three hours.

Does it not strike you as truly odd that Americans would be content with election results that are applauded by Al Qaeda, Hugo Chavez, Danny Ortega and the French...and not be appalled? Picture running a candidate in 1943 who is approved by Hitler, Mussolini and Tojo! Republicans traditionally have to appeal on the basis of historical examples (socialism fails, welfare states fail, aggressors have to be militarily defeated or they keep aggressing) while libs appeal on cuteness, emotion, and "wouldn't it be nice if you got that for free?". Republicans keep trying to explain theory, libs call them heartless nasty racists. Hard to see hope as long as they control the media, and dumb down public education.

How many people try to historically educate themselves? How many watch Dancing with the Stars instead? Libs understand this...suddenly Hillary's opposition is Barack Obama. Ok, why? What has he ever said or done to merit this consideration? He's simply a photogenic black guy who can speak well, who has a appealing "uplifting" backstory...what are his opinions or positions? Does anyone know? But he'd be a favorite on American Idol, most likely....truly sad.

Right now probably the best person in the country to be president is Newt Gingrich..and he doesn't stand a chance because he's not cute and the media convinced everyone he was nasty and evil some years ago. I fear for the country more and more..and have no idea how to change it besides somehow overthrowing the media that Joe Average takes in more or less like air.

Plus:

The War on Terror has even forced many of us small goverment types to embrace some expansive big goverment type legislation. Let's face it, we do not want our heads hacked off by some prehistoric religious fanatics. The problem that I see is that what happened to France seems to be happening here. The same destabilization modus operandi that has neutured France and is neutering England is being applied to America. Thus, we are told that Islam is a Religion of Peace and we need to understand them and embrace them. If that is what the Democrats have in mind for us, just take a look at what that type of response to Islamic Fundamentalism accomplished in France.

 

And:

My son and I were talking the other day about Vietnam and the Winter Soldier testimony of John Kerry in '71. It seems so long ago and at the same time like only yesterday. That got me thinking about a conversation I had with one of my parents when I was in high school about the "olden days of WWII." It seemed to be forever ago in my high school mind. It had been approx. fifteen years since V.E. Day. The world was beginning to be very different. In another 15 years, by 1975, the world was a very different place. Yet here we are about the same amount of time from the end of Vietnam, approx. 30 years and what has changed? The same groups are calling for the same results.. They've dusted off the old scripts and called out the old guard in George McGovern and John Kerry and are marching forward to, IMHO, disaster for this country.

FIVE BEST: Sense of Ummah - These books are essential to understanding Islam-- there's no better summary of what Islam is all about today: It's in the Koran (You Tube)

NYT Whitewashes CAIR's Candidate, Slams Blogosphere

Again the New York Times comes to the defense of radical Islamic candidate Keith Ellison, in a slobbery puff piece that does not even mention his links to CAIR, and blithely brushes past his history with the Nation of Islam as if it didn’t matter.

And for all those friendly Nutroots bloggers who accused me of “racism” and “bigotry” for saying that Ellison’s win would be celebrated in the Middle East, please note this racist, bigoted New York Times headline: Muslim’s Election Is Celebrated Here and in Mideast.

And what NYT piece would be complete without a smear against those who tried to blow the whistle on Ellison’s deceptions, while mainstream media did their best to cover it all up?

Arab news reports highlighted the fact that Mr. Ellison would probably take the oath of office on the Koran, something which also upset Muslim-bashers in the blogosphere. Some suggested it meant he would pledge allegiance to Islamic law rather than to upholding the Constitution.

Allahpundit also weighed in on this one: NYT puff piece on Ellison slams “Muslim-bashers in the blogosphere”.

UPDATE at 11/11/06 2:59:40 pm:

Democratic campaign signs and banners are normally blue, of course, and sometimes contain other colors from the American flag.

Ellison’s signs were all green—the color of Islam.

Coincidence? Sure, you can believe that if you want.

 Has anybody besides me noticed that the hand gestures that Ellison makes when speaking are the standard "Nation of Islam hand gestures" that I've seen many of their members use when giving speeches?

I deeply resent being called racist

Look, you have to ignore this. It's language used as a weapon. There is a semi-religious undercurrent to the anti-racist movement, similar to the witch hunts of previous ages, and for the same reasons: A desire for purity by purging society from the demons among us and the demons within us. The Norwegian social anthropologist Inger Lise Lien, for instance, has written that “We have every reason to believe that the use of the term ‘racist’ in our day has many functional similarities with the use of the word ‘heretic’ three hundred years ago.”

Bolton Foils Evil, again and again

Is this what the left hates? Is this what the Demoncrats find unacceptable? It is incomprehensible to me that Ambassador Bolton would not receive a unanimous vote for confirmation. Why doesn't the UN address the barrage of rockets raining into Israel from Gaza on civilian cities and towns.

UN resolution veto condemning Israel CTV

A UN Security Council resolution that would have condemned Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip was vetoed by the U.S. on Saturday.

The draft resolution would have also demanded Israel pull out of the territory.

The veto came one day ahead of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's scheduled visit to Washington on

Notice too that it comes on Shabbat when the people of Israel do not work (including those that the UN.) They always pull that.

The draft, which was backed by Arab nations, was biased and politically motivated, said John Bolton, the American ambassador to the UN.

"This resolution does not display an evenhanded characterization of the recent events in Gaza, nor does it advance the cause of Israeli-Palestinian peace to which we aspire and for which we are working assiduously," he told the Security Council.

The move marks the second time this year the U.S. has blocked a draft resolution concerning Israel's activity in Gaza.

Four nations abstained from voting on the contentious resolution, including Denmark, Britain, Japan and Slovakia. Security Council resolutions require unanimous consent from the five permanent members: China, France, Russia, the U.K. and U.S.

Ten nations voted in favour of the resolution, which was brought forward by Qatar.

Denmark abstained, according to Ambassador Ellen Margrethe Loj, because the draft didn't address all the issue,

The draft was adjusted in the last few days to increase the likelihood that it would pass. A section was added in demanding that the Palestinian Authority take immediate action to end the barrage of rockets, and called for a UN fact finding probe into Wednesday's attack.

The United Nations was thwarted today in another attempt to demonize a country trying to protect itself from organized, genocidal terrorist gangs.

Speaking Truth to Islam

AMERICA"S TRUTH FORUM

Lots of interesting little details, for example more than a couple of speakers were contacted government agencies and  by media (in one case CNN) to strongly recommend they not speak at this symposium. It's not enough  that the jihad loving media actively deceives the American people of the gravity of Islam fundamentalism by ignoring it or distorting, here you find that are trying to shut truth tellers up.

More than anything that was impressed upon me was Islam was not so much a religion as it is a political ideology and a violent,  oppressive one. More dangerous than any previous threat in world history.
And while it was not a political conference, the ramifications of Tuesday night's election results worried the panelists.
Many of the speakers came at great personal risk to their safety. All live under constant threat of death. "I know they want to kill me"

Audio: Cat Stevens Linked to Radical Islamists, Convicted Terrorists

LGF reader Glen Jenvey emailed an amazing audio recording to me today, featuring Omar Bakri Mohammed (who fled Britain when authorities shut down several of his operations) in an online chat session. In the recording, Bakri tells supporters that Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam (now calling himself simply Yusuf) was once a frequent visitor to his offices in Britain—and even worse, that Yusuf Islam/Cat Stevens was also closely connected to the “Blind Sheikh,” Omar Abdel-Rahman, currently serving a life sentence for plotting terror attacks in the US.

Rusty Shackleford at Jawa Report also got a copy of the audio, and has an informative post: Claim: Cat Stevens Financed Terrorists, Tied to Radical Clerics.  link: 132 comments

It was widely reported that Cat Steven's response to the fatwa on Salman Rushdie was

"Salman Rushdie, indeed any writer who abuses the prophet or indeed any prophet under Islamic law, the sentence for that is actually death,"

We Got Mail!

Someone in Chicago sent this well-reasoned message last night. I’m going to take a wild guess and suggest that it may have come from a member of the Religion of Peace.

Little Green F-ckballs,

America has woken up. They have pulled back the curtain and turned a spotlight on the wretched creatures who are engineering the hate. They see the real provocateurs who are intentionally inciting more Middle Easterners and Muslims to hate America. They know Israel is not a blameless victim and see what the neocon journalist F-ckballs and politicians are doing. They know that the invasion of Iraq was not for altruistic reasons, and they see the billions being extracted from their Treasury and lining the pockets of corrupt Halliburton and Bechtel profiteers. They see how the “war on terror” has been corrupted by the Executive branch to seize unconstitutional powers and to justify torture. Torture? Are you kidding me? Did you really believe good, Christian Americans would agree to use their tax money to torture people—some of whom were innocent of any crime? They’re finding out their tax dollars paid for the extradition and torture of an innocent Canadian citizen for several months, and very likely others. How twisted and vile do you think this country is, that they would allow this horrific act to be justified in the name of their national security?

They also see they need to repair the damage their government and the Little Green F-ckball cheerleaders have wrought. They have booted the Party of Fearmongers from both houses of Congress and elected the first Muslim-American in history. Your obsessed F-ckball rants and baseless accusations about Ellison are backfiring, just as they backfired for his opponent Fine. They know this small gesture is a step in the right direction to repair the shattered relations with the world’s 1.2 billion Muslims. They know these relations are critical to fighting the REAL war on terror.

A good percentage of Republicans see these things as well. They see how their party of small government and conservative values has been twisted into an ideological ghoul. A possessed specter of fear more terrifying than the terrorists they claim to be fighting given the immense power they wield. They want their party back. The one hijacked by the Little Green F-ckball deviants who have defiled it with their depraved, ideological schemes.

God bless this great Republic,

UPDATE at 11/13/06 12:54:16 pm:

Some more stuff we won’t have to worry about as soon as John Bolton is gone: Seizures of radioactive materials fuel ‘dirty bomb’ fears. (Hat tip: Doss.)

SEIZURES of smuggled radioactive material capable of making a terrorist “dirty bomb” have doubled in the past four years, according to official figures seen by The Times.

Smugglers have been caught trying to traffick dangerous radioactive material more than 300 times since 2002, statistics from the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) show. Most of the incidents are understood to have occurred in Europe.

The disclosures come as al-Qaeda is known to be intensfiying its efforts to obtain a radoactive device. Last year, Western security services, including MI5 and MI6, thwarted 16 attempts to smuggle plutonium or uranium. On two occasions small quantities of highly enriched uranium were reported missing. All were feared to have been destined for terror groups.

http://www.worldthreats.com/general_information/aqarsenal.htm

RM: How many nuclear weapons does Al-Qaeda possess?

HM: As far as I know, they smuggled three suitcase nukes from Russia to Europe. They smuggled many kilos of enriched uranium inside America for their dirty bomb projects. They said in 1999 that they must have material for more than six dirty bombs in America. They tested at least one dirty bomb in the Kunar province of Afghanistan in 2000.

They have planned an attack bigger than 9/11, even before 9/11 happened. Osama Bin Laden trained 42 fighters to destroy the American economy and military might. 19 were used on 9/11, 23 are still "sleeping" inside America waiting for a wake-up call from Bin Laden.

RM: If Al-Qaeda has tactical suitcase nukes, not just "dirty bombs," why would they deploy them to Europe instead of the United States?

HM: Actually, I lost track of the three suitcase nukes after they were smuggled into Italy. I tried my best to get more information about those bombs but I am only one man. I only received one tip that Chechen members of Al-Qaeda wanted to smuggle one bomb into London, one into Paris, and one into California, but some dispute developed with the Italian underworld over the method of payment. This was in the year 2000.

RM: Were actual tactical nukes deployed to the US? And is the leader of the nuclear plot Adnan el-Shukrijumah as believed by some experts?

HM: Al-Qaeda leaders claimed to have deployed their tactical weapons inside America. But when I tried to track the transportation of those weapons from Georgia, I lost track in Italy. I don’t know the location of these today because my source left Afghanistan for Iraq last year. On the other hand, they claimed to me that weapons were smuggled to America through Mexico.

According to my notes, the man responsible for organizing the nuclear attacks inside America is not Adnan but is Muhammed Sher Khan, but this may be an alias for Adnan.

Steyn: "We are all Spaniards Now"

Mark Steyn's  razor sharp analysis on post election America here in the Chicago Sun Times. America! Is anyone listening?

U.S. must  prove it's  a staying   power

We're all infidels, but not all infidels crack the same way. If they'd done a Spain -- blown up a bunch of subway cars in New York or vaporized the Empire State Building -- they'd have re-awoken the primal anger of September 2001. With another mound of corpses piled sky-high, the electorate would have stampeded into the Republican column and demanded the U.S. fly somewhere and bomb someone.

The jihad crowd know that. So instead they employed a craftier strategy. Their view of America is roughly that of the British historian Niall Ferguson -- that the Great Satan is the first superpower with ADHD. They reasoned that if you could subject Americans to the drip-drip-drip of remorseless water torture in the deserts of Mesopotamia -- a couple of deaths here, a market bombing there, cars burning, smoke over the city on the evening news, day after day after day, and ratcheted up a notch or two for the weeks before the election -- you could grind down enough of the electorate and persuade them to vote like Spaniards, without even realizing it. And it worked. You can rationalize what happened on Tuesday in the context of previous sixth-year elections -- 1986, 1958, 1938, yada yada -- but that's not how it was seen around the world, either in the chancelleries of Europe, where they're dancing conga lines, or in the caves of the Hindu Kush, where they would also be dancing conga lines if Mullah Omar hadn't made it a beheading offense. And, as if to confirm that Tuesday wasn't merely 1986 or 1938, the president responded to the results by firing the Cabinet officer most closely identified with the prosecution of the war and replacing him with a man associated with James Baker, Brent Scowcroft and the other "stability" fetishists of the unreal realpolitik crowd.

Whether or not Rumsfeld should have been tossed overboard long ago, he certainly shouldn't have been tossed on Wednesday morning. For one thing, it's a startlingly brazen confirmation of the politicization of the war, and a particularly unworthy one: It's difficult to conceive of any more public diminution of a noble cause than to make its leadership contingent on Lincoln Chafee's Senate seat. The president's firing of Rumsfeld was small and graceless.

Still, we are all Spaniards now. The incoming speaker says Iraq is not a war to be won but a problem to be solved. The incoming defense secretary belongs to a commission charged with doing just that. A nostalgic boomer columnist in the Boston Globe argues that honor requires the United States to "accept defeat," as it did in Vietnam. Didn't work out so swell for the natives, but to hell with them.

What does it mean when the world's hyperpower, responsible for 40 percent of the planet's military spending, decides that it cannot withstand a guerrilla war with historically low casualties against a ragbag of local insurgents and imported terrorists? You can call it "redeployment" or "exit strategy" or "peace with honor" but, by the time it's announced on al-Jazeera, you can pretty much bet that whatever official euphemism was agreed on back in Washington will have been lost in translation. Likewise, when it's announced on "Good Morning Pyongyang" and the Khartoum Network and, come to that, the BBC.

For the rest of the world, the Iraq war isn't about Iraq; it's about America, and American will. I'm told that deep in the bowels of the Pentagon there are strategists wargaming for the big showdown with China circa 2030/2040. Well, it's steady work, I guess. But, as things stand, by the time China's powerful enough to challenge the United States it won't need to. Meanwhile, the guys who are challenging us right now -- in Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea and elsewhere -- are regarded by the American electorate like a reality show we're bored with. Sorry, we don't want to stick around to see if we win; we'd rather vote ourselves off the island.

Two weeks ago, you may remember, I reported on a meeting with the president, in which I'd asked him the following: "You say you need to be on the offense all the time and stay on the offense. Isn't the problem that the American people were solidly behind this when you went in and you toppled the Taliban, when you go in and you topple Saddam. But when it just seems to be a kind of thankless semi-colonial policing defensive operation with no end . . . I mean, where is the offense in this?"

On Tuesday, the national security vote evaporated, and, without it, what's left for the GOP? Congressional Republicans wound up running on the worst of all worlds -- big bloated porked-up entitlements-a-go-go government at home and a fainthearted tentative policing operation abroad. As it happens, my new book argues for the opposite: small lean efficient government at home and muscular assertiveness abroad. It does a superb job, if I do say so myself, of connecting war and foreign policy with the domestic issues. Of course, it doesn't have to be that superb if the GOP's incoherent inversion is the only alternative on offer.

As it is, we're in a very dark place right now. It has been a long time since America unambiguously won a war, and to choose to lose Iraq would be an act of such parochial self-indulgence that the American moment would not endure, and would not deserve to. Europe is becoming semi-Muslim, Third World basket-case states are going nuclear, and, for all that 40 percent of planetary military spending, America can't muster the will to take on pipsqueak enemies. We think we can just call off the game early, and go back home and watch TV.

It doesn't work like that. Whatever it started out as, Iraq is a test of American seriousness. And, if the Great Satan can't win in Vietnam or Iraq, where can it win? That's how China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Sudan, Venezuela and a whole lot of others look at it. "These Colors Don't Run" is a fine T-shirt slogan, but in reality these colors have spent 40 years running from the jungles of Southeast Asia, the helicopters in the Persian desert, the streets of Mogadishu. ... To add the sands of Mesopotamia to the list will be an act of weakness from which America will never recover.

Europe is Finished, Predicts Mark Steyn

 

The Canadian jihadist By PETER WORTHINGTON

 

It's 1938 and Iran is Germany

Iran Seeking to Partner With Al-Qaeda in Global Jihad   
Iran is trying to form an alliance with al-Qaida by training the next generation of Global Jihad leaders to take over for Osama bin Laden, according to a report by the British Daily Telegraph. 

"It’s 1938, and Iran is Germany,” Netanyahu said, "and Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs.” go here for NETANYAHU video.

The clowns experts at the IAEA have found traces of plutonium, used in atom bombs, at an Iranian nuclear waste site as Tehran pursues a nuclear program despite the risk of sanctions.

More on this photo here

Israel’s Benjamin Netanyahu says Iran’s nuclear goals, and the fanaticism of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, pose a threat not only to Israel, but to the entire Western world.

The former prime minister compared the growing threat of Iran to the rise of Nazism before World War II, and he wonders why no one seems to be taking the threat seriously.

"It’s 1938, and Iran is Germany,” Netanyahu said, "and Iran is racing to arm itself with atomic bombs.” Haaretz newspaper reports that Netanyahu repeated that line as a chorus during an address Monday to the United Jewish Communities General Assembly. Article here

Sex, Lies and Islamic Jihad

Sandmonkey has part  two of  this awful story here. He writes," I wish I was lying. They seem to be willing to go to any length to stop the public outrage on the eid mass sexual assault."

Oh, and in other news, they blocked one of the best egyptian english blogs in Egypt.

Yesterday was the second sexual harrassment protest in downtown cairo against what went down in the eid incident. And while the first one passed without incident, the police has cracked down on the second one. On my way there I bumped into Sharkawy, who told me that its nearly impossible to get to the protest: State security cars were everywhere, and police agents were blocking anyone from reaching the protest area, so they had to cancel it. The few activists who were there, however, were harassed, beaten up and arrested. Here is a describtion of how the situation was like:

IRAQ: Austin Bay, Prophet

Sagacity is too small a word for Austin Bay. John Podhoretz calls him Austin Bay, Prophet.  Check it out here at NRO

Austin Bay is both a colonel in the Army Reserve and a Columbia Ph.D in English literature — a true Renaissance man and a supporter of the Iraq war before and after. (He was called to serve in Iraq in 2004.) He has an eye-opening column today about the stakes in Iraq during which he quotes a passage from a December 2002 piece he wrote for the Weekly Standard:

"Pity Gen. Tommy Franks or, for that matter, any American military commander tasked with overseeing a post-Saddam Baghdad. For in that amorphous, dicey phase the Pentagon calls 'war termination' ... U.S. and allied forces liberating Iraq will attempt — more or less simultaneously — to end combat operations, cork public passions, disarm Iraqi battalions, bury the dead, generate electricity, pump potable water, bring law out of embittering lawlessness, empty jails of political prisoners, pack jails with criminals, turn armed partisans into peaceful citizens, re-arm local cops who were once enemy infantry, shoot terrorists, thwart chiselers, carpetbaggers and black-marketeers, fix sewers, feed refugees, patch potholes and get trash trucks rolling, and accomplish all this under the lidless gaze of Peter Jennings and Al-Jazeera."

Wow.

Even Wow ain't big enough.

Airport Arrest Turns Up Nuclear Info  Breitbart

A man was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after officials say they found him carrying more than $78,000 in cash and a laptop computer containing information about nuclear materials and cyanide.

Sisayehiticha Dinssa, an unemployed U.S. citizen, was arrested Tuesday after a dog caught the scent of narcotics on cash he was carrying, according to an affidavit filed in court.

When agents asked him if he had any cash to declare, he said he had $18,000, authorities said. But when agents checked his luggage, they found an additional $59,000. When they scrolled through his laptop, they said they found the mysterious files.

At a court hearing Wednesday, Dinssa was ordered held in custody until at least until Monday at the request of prosecutors.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Leonid Feller argued Dinssa was a potential risk to the community and federal agents want to get a warrant to search his computer more thoroughly, The Detroit News reported Thursday. U.S. Magistrate Donald Scheer approved Feller's request to detain him.

Dinssa, who is from Dallas, arrived in Detroit from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam and was headed for Phoenix, Feller said. He is charged with concealing more than $10,000 in his luggage, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, the Detroit Free Press reported.

And the band plays on.

UPDATE: And don't forget those liquid explosives.
