UPDATED: MUSLIM VERSUS CHRISTIAN VIOLENCE IN EGYPT ESCALATES - AGAIN: 12 KILLED; CHURCH BURNED


At least five people have been killed and dozens more wounded during clashes between Muslims and Christians in Cairo, Egyptian officials say.

The clashes - in the suburb of Imbaba - came after Muslims attacked a church to free a Christian woman, witnesses said.

They alleged she was being held against her will because she wanted to convert to Islam.

Soldiers and police, backed by tanks, fired guns and tear gas to separate the groups, according to reports.

Eyewitnesses said some 500 conservative Muslims - known as Salafists - gathered at the Coptic Saint Mena Church in the northwestern Cairo suburb demanding to take custody of the woman.

Deteriorating relations

Shouts were exchanged between church guards, people living near the church and the protesters, which developed into a fully-fledged confrontation during which the two sides exchanged gunfire, firebombs and stones.

"I just left one young man dead inside the church," one man, a Christian, was quoted as telling Reuters journalists.

A parish priest, Father Hermina, told the AFP news agency that the group had attempted to storm the church earlier in the day.

But one Muslim protester told the news agency that they had first been fired upon by the Copts.

"They started firing on us. We were peaceful," said the man, who gave his name as Mamduh. "We won't leave until they give up their weapons and the people who killed us are tried."

Relations between Egypt's Sunni Muslim majority and Coptic Christians - who account for about 10% of the population - have deteriorated in recent years.

THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING.

I THINK WHAT GOING TO GO DOWN IN EGYPT MAY VERY WELL BE ON PAR WITH THE WORST PURGES IN HISTORY, IF NOT... A HOLOCAUST.

UPDATE: SIX DEAD:

Clashes between Muslims and Christians in the Egyptian capital Cairo left six people dead and about 50 others injured, the health ministry said.

The two groups clashed in the northwestern district of Imbaba on Saturday after Muslims attacked the Coptic Saint Mena church to free a Christian woman they alleged was being held against her will because she wanted to convert to Islam.

A parish priest, Father Hermina, told AFP the dead were Copts who died when "thugs and (Muslim fundamentalist) Salafis fired at them" in the late afternoon attack.

The Gospel had been laid on a body wrapped in a sheet that was lying inside the church. The church floor was bloodstained as wounded Christians were brought into the church for treatment.

Outside the church, located in the poor working-class neighbourhood of Imbaba, military police parked several armoured cars to block off Muslim protesters from the church.

STAY TUNED...

GEE... I WONDER IF THE ARAB LEAGUE WILL GO TO THE UNSCR TO ASK FOR AN INTERVENTION TO PREVENT VIOLENCE TO EGYPT'S CHRISTIANS!?

UPDATE: MORE HERE.

UPDATE #2: BBC: (MORE VIDEO AT LINK):

More than 190 people detained after fatal clashes between Muslims and Christians in Cairo are to face military trials, Egypt's army says.

The ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces called the move a "deterrent" against further violence.

Earlier the prime minister postponed a visit to the Gulf in order to hold an emergency cabinet meeting.

At least 10 people have died and 186 wounded during the overnight clashes in Cairo's Imbaba district.

... This is not the first outbreak of communal violence since the fall of President Hosni Mubarak in February following weeks of popular protests.

In March, 13 people died in similar clashes in another neighbourhood. Last month, demonstrators in the southern city of Qena cut all transport links with Cairo for a week in protest over the appointment of a Christian governor.

The clashes - coming as the military government leads a faltering transition to democracy - are a worrying development for Egypt, the BBC's Jonathan Head in Cairo says.

Salafist groups - who have made similar claims about women being held against their will before - have become more assertive in the post-Mubarak era, he adds.

Coptic Christians account for about 10% of Egypt's population, and have long complained of state discrimination against them.

Now they are expressing fears for their safety if hardline Muslims do well in the election scheduled for September, our correspondent reports.

ANY NEW REGIME IN EGYPT IS LIKELY TO BE MORE TOLERANT OF "SALAFISM" AND THIS WILL MAKE EGYPT LESS TOLERANT.

THANKS OBAMA!

(YES: IMHO, MUBARAK WASN'T TOO HARSH ON THE SALAFISTS AND MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD; HE WAS TOO WEAK.

IF WE TRULY WANT GLOBAL PEACE AND UNIVERSAL BROTHERHOOD, THEN AS GERMANY ERASED NAZISM AFTER WW2, SO MUST ISLAMISM BE ERASED FROM THE ENTIRE GLOBE.)

Update #3:

The death toll from a sectarian clash over the alleged conversion of an Egyptian Christian woman to Islam rose to 12 on Sunday as the country's prime minister called an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the violence.

Witnesses said around 500 conservative Islamists known as Salafists massed outside the Saint Mina Church in the Cairo suburb of Imbaba on Saturday demanding that Christians hand over a woman they said had converted to Islam.

Following the emergency meeting, Egypt's government announced that it will step up security at religious sites and toughen laws that criminalize attacks on houses of worship.

Justice Minister Mohamed el-Guindy said the cabinet decided to activate laws dealing with terrorism, give police the resources they need to prevent inter-faith clashes and ensure those who vandalize houses of worship are severely punished.
UPDATE #4 : TWO CHURCHES BURNED!

STAY TUNED...

Muzlim with Terror Links works for British Police.

Tafazal Mohammad was described as an "individual of interest" by MI5 in 2001 when he attended a training camp with the bombings' ringleader, Mohammed Sidique Khan.

Despite a host of links with the suicide attackers, Mohammad now promotes himself as a "professionally qualified youth and community worker" and has been paid thousands of pounds by organisations including the Metropolitan Police and Chester University.

His company, Muslim Youth Skills, charges up to £115 a head for its courses to "engage and empower hard-to-reach and marginalised groups".

The Bradford-based firm says its courses, many of which are led by Mohammad, are designed for police community support officers, social workers, advisers from the government-run Connexions service for teenagers and youth workers.

Mohammad's employment by the Metropolitan Police and other public bodies will now raise serious questions about how experts are vetted.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE NO-FLY ZONES?: GADDAFI BOMBS REBEL FUEL TANKS!

Gaddafi's air force have bombed oil tanks in Misrata, causing fires which spread to another 4 sites. The news was reported by the insurgents's spokesman, Ahemd Hassan, who claimed the target of attacks to have been Qasr Ahmed, close to Sirte (currently under siege). . .
Others claim it was a rocket attack:
Muammar el-Qaddafi struck the fuel terminal of this rebel-controlled city early Saturday with ground-to-ground rockets, igniting a fire that threatened the city’s fuel supply.

The main oil storage facility in Misurata burned on Saturday after a missile strike by pro-Qaddafi forces.

The barrage struck shortly after midnight, when rockets began landing and exploding in several areas of the terminal, officials there said.

At least one rocket hit a set of three mammoth tanks, which ruptured and burst into a fireball. The fire settled into a leaping blaze that towered overheard, visible for miles. Its glow illuminated the eastern section of the city throughout the night. Residents woke to a thick, drifting cloud of black smoke.

The attack on the terminal was another escalation against the besieged city, and the second pinpoint attack by Colonel Qaddafi’s forces in two nights.

Residents woke Friday to the news that Misurata’s port, its only lifeline to the outside world, had been peppered with antitank land mines.

TRIPOLI: Libyan government forces bombed large fuel storage tanks in the contested western city of Misrata, destroying the tanks and sparking a huge fire, rebels said Saturday.

The bombardment came as artillery rounds fired by forces loyal to Libya’s Moammar Gadhafi fell in Tunisia in an escalation of fighting near the border between Libyan soldiers and anti-Gadhafi rebels.

Misrata is the last remaining city in the west under rebel control. The port city has been under siege for more than two months and has witnessed some of the war’s fiercest fighting between loyalists and rebels.

Rebels gave varying accounts of the Misrata bombardment but said the overnight attack, which hit fuel used for export as well as domestic consumption, came as a blow to their ability to withstand the siege.

“Four [fuel] tanks were totally destroyed and huge fire erupted which spread now to the other four. We cannot extinguish it because we do not have the right tools,” rebel spokesman Ahmad Hassan told Reuters.

“Now the city will face a major problem. Those were the only sources of fuel for the city. These tanks could have kept the city for three months with enough fuel,” he said by telephone.

WHILE OBAMA IS SASHAYING AROUND GLOATING AND TAKING CREDIT FOR KILLING OSAMA, GADDAFI IS KICKING ASS - AND ASSAD IS PUTTING DOWN HIS REBELLION.

THAT'S WHAT YOU GET WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EYE OFF THE BALL.

UNLESS THESE SETBACKS AREN'T BUGS, BUT FEATURES OF OBAMA'S MIDDLE EAST POLICY.

The agreement between Fatah and Hamas marks the end of the so-called "peace process" - AND I BLAME OBAMA!

The agreement between Fatah and Hamas marks the end of a long period of cooperation and negotiation between Israelis and Palestinians.

... As to the meaning of all this for the “peace process,” well…..there is no more “peace process.” Abbas has given up on it, just as he has given up on President Obama.

He recently
commented to Newsweek that “It was Obama who suggested a full settlement freeze. I said OK, I accept. We both went up the tree. After that, he came down with a ladder and he removed the ladder and said to me, jump. Three times he did it.”

Abbas is turning instead to internal politics, and his message to us is “Go away and leave me alone. I am finished with peace negotiations for now.”
OBAMA'S DESIRE TO APPEASE THE ARABS BACKFIRED. OBAMA HAS INCREASED THE LIKELIHOOD OF WAR.

WHAT MAKES THIS SICKER AND SADDER IS THE FACT THAT, AT THE TIME - ACCORDING TO WIKILEAKS - THE SAUDIS WERE TELLING OBAMA TO LAY OFF THE ISRAELIS AND PUT THE PALESTINIAN ISSUES ON THE BACK-BURNER AND CONCENTRATE ON IRAN AND THE IRANIAN UPRISING.

BUT OBAMA WAS MORE INTERESTED IN PUTTING PRESSURE ON BIBI AND THE JEWS THAN ON AHMADINEJAD AND THE IRANIANS.

AND NOW, HE'S MORE INTERESTED IN OUSTING GADDAFI THAN ASSAD - DESPITE THE FACT THAT ASSAD IS ACTUALLY DOING WHAT KHADDAFY ONLY THREATENED TO DO: GO HOUSE TO HOUSE AND KILL CITIZENS THAT REBELLED.

OBAMA IS THE BIGGEST IMPEDIMENT TO NEUTRALIZING ASSAD AND IRAN.

OBAMA IS BOWING DOWN TO RUSSIA AND IRAN ON SYRIA

Russia's Ambassador to Beirut Alexander Zasypkin called for non-interference in Syria's internal affairs, stressing Russia's rejection of any resolutions that include sanctions against Syria because they will be counterproductive and hinder finding solutions.

The ambassador's remarks came in a statement on Saturday after meeting Lebanese care-taker Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Ali al-Shami.

Zasypkin said his country stands against interference in the internal affairs of countries and supports internal dialogue that comes up with solutions to problems in the Arab countries.

SOMALIA'S JIHADISTS VOW REVENGE FOR OSAMA'S DEATH


DAILY STAR:Link
Somalia’s al-Qaeda-linked rebels vowed Saturday to avenge the killing of Osama bin Laden and said his death would not hurt their fight to topple the country’s Western-backed government.

Analysts have said bin Laden’s death is unlikely to dampen the insurgency waged by Somalia’s Al-Shabaab militants, who are regrouping amid infighting among the country’s politicians after a recent government offensive.

After news broke of bin Laden’s death in Pakistan some Al-Shabaab combatants in the Somali capital Mogadishu wore white as a sign of grief, residents said.

“We shall redouble our jihad and we shall overpower our enemies. Osama is not the first martyr, may God rest his soul,” Al-Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Ali Mohamud Rage told reporters Saturday.

THESE SOMALI MUSLIM SCUMBUCKETS SHOULD HAVE BEEN WIPED OFF THE MAP YEARS AGO FOR THEIR ISLAMO-PIRACY.

INSTEAD, WE NOW HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THEM ATTACKING US HERE OR OUR INTERESTS AND ALLIES OVERSEAS.

THIS IS WHAT YOU GET FOR A DECADE OF APPEASING JIHADISTS AND HALF-ASSED HALF-MEASURES IN WAR.

FDR AND TRUMAN WOULD'VE NEVER COUNTER-ATTACKED AS WEAKLY AS BUSH DID AFTER 9/11.

CASE IN POINT: BUSH'S WEAK ACTIONS IN 2007:

Before Sunday, the last time an American president thought he had Osama bin Laden in his sights was the late summer of 2007.

Al Qaeda and Taliban commanders, terrorist volunteers and insurgent foot soldiers would be meeting in the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan, a stream of intelligence reports showed. And there were hints that Bin Laden himself might travel from his hiding place in Pakistan to rally militants training for large-scale suicide attacks in Europe or the United States.

"We thought we had 'No. 1' on this side of the border," said a senior American military officer involved in planning the operation. "It was the best intelligence we'd had on him in a long time."

The military set into motion one of the largest strike missions of its kind, with long-range bombers, attack helicopters, artillery and commandos all ready to pummel the rugged mountain valley along Afghanistan's border with Pakistan, according to military officers and former government officials.

But just as the half dozen B-2 Stealth bombers were halfway on the 3,000-mile flight to their target, commanders ordered them to return to their secret base in the Indian Ocean, because of doubts about the intelligence on Bin Laden and concerns about civilian casualties from the bombs.
REPEAT:

NEITHER FDR OF TRUMAN WOULD'VE PASSED ON USING THE MOST EFFECTIVE MEANS NECESSARY TO KILL THEIR CHIEF ADVERSARY BECAUSE OF "... concerns about civilian casualties from the bombs. "

IT'S WIMPY APPEASING SELF-DEFEATING INSANITY TO FIGHT THE ENEMY WITH HALF-MEASURES. BUSH DID IT, AND SO IS OBAMA.

AND YES: SOMALIS IN THE USA ARE A VERY REAL THREAT.

NEW THEORY: SOME BLACK HOLES ARE OLDER THAN THE CURRENT UNIVERSE

An intriguing new hypothesis suggests some black holes could have formed before the formation of our universe.

The work by Professor Bernard Carr from Queen Mary University in London and Professor Alan Coley from Canada's Dalhousie University, examines a cosmology in which the universe goes through cycles of birth and death.

According to their work published on the pre-press website arXiv.org, some black holes could be remnants of a previous universe that collapsed in a big crunch and was then reborn in the big bang - 13.7 billion years ago.

Called primordial black holes, they would be formed in the hyper dense conditions existing in the moments after the big bang. That makes them even more exotic than other black holes formed from the collapse of massive stars or at the centre of galaxies.

Carr and Coley say if the universe expands and contracts in cycles of big bangs and big crunches, some primordial black holes may survive.

HMMM...

IF BLACK HOLES CAN BE VIRTUALLY ETERNAL, THEN WHY NOT G-D?

MERKEL INDICTED FOR PRAISING BIN LADEN'S DEATH

Insane:

A Hamburg judge has filed a criminal complaint against Chancellor Angela Merkel for "endorsing a crime" after she stated she was "glad" that Osama bin Laden was killed by US forces. Meanwhile a new poll reveals that a majority of Germans do not see the terrorist's death as a reason to celebrate...

... “I am a law-abiding citizen and as a judge, sworn to justice and law,” the 54-year-old told the paper, adding that Merkel’s words were “tacky and undignified.”

In his two-page document, Uthmann, a judge for 21 years, cites section 140 of the German Criminal Code, which forbids the “rewarding and approving” of crimes. In this case, Merkel endorsed a “homicide,” Uthmann claimed. The violation is punishable by up to three years’ imprisonment or a fine.

If killing bin Laden is a crime, then so is awarding any medal for anything occurring during war-time.

FACT: NATO - which Germany is a part of - is fighting in Afghanistan because the USA was attacked by forces there led by bin Laden.

FACT: the 2001 AUMF directed the POTUS to attack anybody anywhere that played any part in the 9/11 attack:
To authorize the use of United States Armed Forces against those responsible for the recent attacks launched against the United States.

Whereas, on September 11, 2001, acts of treacherous violence were committed against the United States and its citizens; and

Whereas, such acts render it both necessary and appropriate that the United States exercise its rights to self-defense and to protect United States citizens both at home and abroad; and

Whereas, in light of the threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States posed by these grave acts of violence; and

Whereas, such acts continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States; and

Whereas, the President has authority under the Constitution to take action to deter and prevent acts of international terrorism against the United States: Now, therefore, be it

Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This joint resolution may be cited as the `Authorization for Use of Military Force'.

SEC. 2. AUTHORIZATION FOR USE OF UNITED STATES ARMED FORCES.

(a) IN GENERAL- That the President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, or harbored such organizations or persons, in order to prevent any future acts of international terrorism against the United States by such nations, organizations or persons.
FACT: bin Laden was part of the 9/11 attacks, ergo he was a legal target of the USA and by extension NATO.

Counter-attacking the enemy in a war is never a crime.

It isn't even against the Ten Commandments - which forbids murder, but not all killing.

This judge is an immoral postmodern leftist piece of crap.

The move was decided on after Israel on Sunday blocked the transfer of $105 million in customs duties and other levies it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority, following a deal to reunite the two rival Palestinian wings.

HAMAS OFFERS TO SUPPORT A PHONY TWO-STATE RESOLUTION -

One day after celebrating a landmark reconciliation accord for Palestinian unity, Khaled Meshal, the Hamas leader, said on Thursday that he was fully committed to working for a two-state solution but declined to swear off violence or agree that a Palestinian state would produce an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

He defined that as “a Palestinian state in the 1967 lines with Jerusalem as its capital, without any settlements or settlers, not an inch of land swaps and respecting the right of return” of Palestinian refugees to Israel itself. Asked if a deal honoring those principles would produce an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Mr. Meshal said, “I don’t want to talk about that.”
THAT'S A NON-STARTER.

A judge gave an immigrant drug dealer a verbal dressing-down by telling him to 'get a job, learn English and stop smoking cannabis'.

Pakistani-born Mohammed Ramzan, 32, had been spending £20 a day on cannabis, paid for by his benefits from the taxpayer.


After admitting three drug possession counts following raids police raids on his home in Derby, he faced a verbal tirade from a Crown Court judge.


As he was handed a suspended jail term at Derby Crown Court, Judge Andrew Hamilton told Ramzan, who had spoken in court through an interpreter: 'It's about time you learnt to speak English.


'It seems to me very difficult to live in this country if you can't speak the language.
'And you should be going out, getting work, instead of sitting at home smoking cannabis.'My advice to you is to give up drugs, go and learn English, go and get a job and do something useful.'

The court heard how police raided Ramzan's home in Derby, and found cannabis in plastic bags ready to sell.

FREE SPEECH DEALT A BLOW IN DENMARK

Melanie Phillips brings the sad news that Lars Hedegaard, head of the Danish Free Press Society, was convicted of "hate speech" for daring to point out violence against women in Muslim families, via the Orwellian judicial system Denmark has (via The Jawa Report and Big Peace). What this basically tells is that they want to make it a crime to defend Muslim women and children from "honor" violence.

It's also most startling that, in the country that published the Mohammed cartoons, this is where such a show trial is taking place.

Update: here's more from Phyllis Chesler. Hedegaard will appeal the verdict, and we can only hope that something can be done to fix their Orwellian laws.

CLINTON: OBAMA MIGHT ALLOW TALKS WITH HAMAS

A day after the main Palestinian factions signed a unity agreement in Cairo, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton refused on Thursday to rule out further negotiations with a Palestinian side that includes Hamas, the militant Islamic group that runs Gaza and is defined by many in the West as a terrorist organization.

But she also reiterated the Obama administration’s call for Hamas to accept basic conditions that included renouncing violence and recognizing
Israel’s right to exist.

Mrs. Clinton’s striking openness to dealings with Hamas emerged in Rome as she spoke before a meeting on Libya.
OBAMA'S KEY ADVISERS - LIKE SAMANTHA POWERS - HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ORIENTED NO SURPRISE: TOWARD TALKING TO AND WITH TERRORISTS.

WE SHOULD NO MORE NEGOTIATE WITH HAMAS THAN AL QAEDA. IT'S IMMORAL AND POINTLESS; THEY WANT TO DESTROY ISRAEL.

JUST BY ANNOUNCING THEY'RE CONSIDERING IT, THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WEAKENS ISRAEL AND AIDS TERRORISTS WORLDWIDE.

UPDATE:
The Hamas leader in Gaza urged militant groups Thursday to stick with a de facto truce with Israel, announced after fighting last month, so as to give a Palestinian reconciliation deal with Fatah rivals a chance.
Reuters

"I call for giving the coming government a chance by maintaining" the ceasefire deal, Ismail Haniyeh said in a speech, a day after Hamas and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah movement signed a unity pact in Cairo.

"We do not fear threats. We do not fear the occupation," he added, referring to Israel.

"We always said that we seek and have sought to avoid a new war," Haniyeh said in a two-hour address.

Haniyeh's comments seemed the first concrete sign of progress for the unity deal brokered by Egypt for which security had been envisaged as a potential pitfall.

The agreement seeks to resolve a four-year split in the Palestinian national movement that had hindered the quest to achieve statehood in land captured by Israel in the 1967 war.

In reaching the deal, the sides had set aside the issue of bridging their policies toward Israel.

Unlike Abbas's group, which recognizes Israel, Islamist Hamas refuses to recognize the Jewish state, hostility to which often results in cross-border violence.

THERE CAN ALWAYS ON;LY BE A HUDNA WITH HAMAS, AND NEVER PEACE OR MUTUAL RECOIGNITION.

Islamic Terror in the West: the Importance of Munich...

The United States’ intelligence services spent more than a decade trying to capture Osama bin Laden, following the terrorist attacks against the U.S. embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Saalam.
Now they have succeeded, Osama bin Laden’s body has been lowered into the sea, and in newspapers and on the Internet it is speculated whether the world has become a safer place.
Looking back it is possible to detect many different times and places where things happened and that in one way or another pointed toward various future terrorist crimes.
One such place, which is important for our understanding of how the European militant Islam has emerged, is in Munich, according to the German TV journalist and historian Stefan Meining.In 1960 seven men met at the restaurant which was then only a simple Wienerwald chicken barbecue. They founded the so called “Mosque Construction Commission”. It was then that the German and European Islamist network was born, according to the authorStefan Meining. Almost all Islamic terrorism in the West, he says, has some connection with the Munich mosque.

SEXUAL HARRASSMENT IN EGYPT

Meredith Jessup, one of the writers in charge of The Blaze, tells how Lara Logan's horrific experience in Egypt is not the only one of its sort. Jessup herself had been victim of harrassment in 2004 when she traveled there, and CNN's Mary Rogers was also victim of their Koranic-indoctrinated harrassment, in 1994 and just several months before the attack on Logan, in a country where 98% of foreign women and 83% of domestic women have undergone this terrible experience.

And this is just one more reason why I think Bill Kristol owes an apology to Glenn Beck for attacking his concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood taking over. For now, if Kristol is smart, he'll shut the hell up and no longer attack anyone's right to be concerned.

HMMMM: THERE'S ONLY ONE VERSION OF THE TRUTH...

... and we have had several versions of the raid in Abbotabad.

Osama was armed - and he wasn't.

He used a woman as a shield - and he didn't.

He resisted with a weapon - and "there are other ways to resist".

Was any DNA of his body PRESERVED for additional testing - perhaps from a non-governmental agency?

Why was Binladen suddenly now shorter than 6'7"?

And why did he suddenly have apparently NO NEED FOR DIALYSIS? Had he had a transplant?

Apparently, the Navy SEALS practiced for several months - and they apparently did a GREAT job.

The White House, though has been INEPT. Obama apparently said some untrue things in his speech.

And they STILL don't have a clue - or a consistent policy - on the photos of Osama.

The Obama Administration did NOT practice how to handle the aftermath at all: not how to collate the info; or get and put out ONE TRUE STORY, decide how to dispose of/bury the body, (and maybe save some for further testing); and so on.

They suck.

It's an embarrassment.

UPDATE:

STEPHEN GREEN: The Gang That Could Shoot Straight — But Not Much Else. “The plan for killing Osama Bin Laden was perfectly conceived and as perfectly executed as any special forces operation since Israel’s raid on Entebbe. But the follow-through has been strange at best, sometimes bordering on incompetence. . . . Now the Administration can’t even decide whether or not to release a photo of the body. They didn’t have a PR plan in place before the killing?”

DAY AFTER BIN-LADEN KILLED U.S. PURCHASES OVER 100 MILLION WORTH OF ANTHRAX VACCINE FROM MUSLIM CEO…

What makes this all the more interesting is that the CEO is one, Fuad El-Hibri, a Muslim born in Germany who spent part of his childhood in the ME and in the US, and who has established a $15 000  El-Hibri Peace Education Prize in his name, with the first recipient of the award being Syrian professor, Abdul Aziz Said. Mr.Said happens to be someone who believes in the Al-Andalus myth, which is supposedly the prime example of the “Three Abrahamic Faiths” living in peace an harmony. He also believes (the highly anti-Semitic) the Arab League and the Organization of the Islamic Conference would be excellent vehicles for helping Muslim-Western relations and helpful in dispute resolutions and conciliations. How painfully grotesque. Decide for yourself whether Fuad El-Hibri warrants a closer look, but you will have to admit the irony of a Muslim selling to the US government anthrax vaccines in case of a Muslim terrorist anthrax attack. KGS

HARVARD PROFESSOR LEADS POLITICAL PARTY TO WORST DEFEAT EVAH!

IGNATIEFF - AND THE LIBERAL PARTY IN CANADA.

PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT EGGHEADS DO NOT ALWAYS MAKE THE BEST POLITICAL LEADERS.

Obama's Illegal Gambling: a case for Congress.

Has President Obama read Sun Tzu along with his Alinsky?
Sun Tzu's Art of War says that victory is certain if one defends something the enemy cannot conquer. A good way to do this is to convey the illusion that the other side can win if only it dedicates even more soldiers, equipment, time, and money to a futile enterprise. This denies the enemy those resources every bit as effectively as the resources' destruction in combat would, but without the associated risks and reciprocal losses.

Barack Obama similarly strung his opponents along on the issue of whether he is a natural born citizen. Only after he allowed them to collectively waste millions of hours on this false trail did he produce his Hawaii birth certificate to make them all look like Wile E. Coyote after an unsuccessful encounter with the Road Runner. Obama therefore followed the adage that one should not interrupt an enemy while he is making a mistake.


Sun Tzu also wrote, however, that victory is certain if one attacks something the enemy cannot defend. Obama's documented use of internet gambling to raise money for his 2008 campaign can therefore end his presidency at the convenience of any member of Congress who turns it into An Issue That Won't Go Away.

WHAT OBAMA MAY OR MAY NOT DO ABOUT HAMAS

Jonathan Tobin reminds everybody about one of the most notorious images seen a decade ago on 9-11 in the middle east:
One of the enduring images of the post-9/11 agony was the way that many Palestinians cheered the news of the terrorist attacks. Veteran terrorist Yasir Arafat soon ordered an end to the demonstrations in Gaza and elsewhere but the willingness of Palestinians to identify with al Qaeda atrocities resonated for many Americans, including President George W. Bush, who challenged the world to declare which they side they were on in the conflict between America and terrorism.

It is worth remembering the Palestinian reaction to 9/11 on the morning after Osama bin Laden’s death at the hands of U.S. forces because a triumphant President Obama must soon make a critical decision that affects the future of a terrorist ally of bin Laden. The United States has always and quite rightly insisted that Hamas must be treated as a terrorist group, not a political party or a government, in spite of the fact that they are the de facto rulers of Gaza since the bloody coup in which they seized power in the strip from the Palestinian Authority in 2007. But by agreeing last week to join a coalition government with their Fatah rivals, Hamas is putting itself in position to benefit from the massive American aid that flows to the PA.

Many in Congress from both the Republican and Democratic parties have rightly put the Palestinians on notice that if the Fatah-Hamas alliance is signed, American financial support for the PA will cease. But the White House and the State Department, though mildly critical of the pact, have yet to enunciate the administration’s determination to go along with the will of Congress on this issue.
Or, more specifically, the will of the American people. The UK Telegraph reports that Hamas has condemned the killing of bin Laden, and if Obama acts oblivious to that, the public could certainly start to frown. Notice that the administration has only given slight reaction to the disturbing news of what Fatah and Hamas have done, and if they don't offer a clearer statement, then they're not helping themselves.

ANOTHER THING WE'RE ALL GRATEFUL FOR: BINLADEN'S DEATH GETS TRUMP OUT OF THE HEADLINES!

JUST SAYING...

ISRAEL TARGETING HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH VERSUS THE USA TARGETING AL QAEDA

Now Can We Stop Condemning Israel for Targeted Assasinations?

Thomas Lifson
:
Michael Rubin asks the important question, at Commentary Contentions.
Perhaps it is time for Americans, Europeans, and their media elite to reexamine their most glaring double standards: If Americans can kill a master terrorist targeting civilians then Israel too should be able to target Hamas leaders in Gaza, Damascus, Oslo, or Dubai, wherever they may be.
Sadly, the answer is all obvious.

When Israel is involved, special standards are invoked that are not asked of any other country.

That is, of course, the essence of bigotry.
SADLY, OBAMA COMMITS THIS HYPOCRITICAL ACT OF BIGOTRY ALL THE TIME.

AL QAEDA IN PAKISTAN: OBAMA ACTED UNILATERALLY WHEREAS BUSH ACTED WITH PAKISTAN

  • BUSH GOT BINALSHIBH AND KSM WITH THE JOINT EFFORTS OF THE PAKISTANIS.
  • BUT OBAMA ACTED ALONE.
THIS SHOWS US TWO THINGS:

1 - ALL THAT CRAP ABOUT BUSH BEING A UNILATERIALIST COWBOY IS JUST THAT: CRAP.

2 - THE PAKISTANI-USA RELATIONSHIP HAS SEVERELY DETERIORATED CONSIDERABLY UNDER OBAMA.

AND ANOTHER THING:

ALL THE MAJOR AL QAEDA BIGGIES HAVE BEEN CAUGHT OR KILLED IN PAKISTAN - WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE WHERE THE MUMBAI ATTACKS WERE PLANNED.

THIS TELLS US EVERYTHING WE NEED TO KNOW ABOUT PAKISTAN'S ISI.

AND WE SHOULD TREAT THEM ACCORDINGLY. AS PART OF THE ENEMY - AFTER ALL, THIS COMPUND WAS ONCE USED AS A SAFE HOUSE BY THE ISI!

UNTIL THE ISI CLEANS UP THEIR ACT WE SHOULD TREAT THEM AS HOSTILE.

AND THAT MEANS WE SHOULD BE DEMANDING THEY ARREST AND EXECUTE THE ISI AGENTS WHO WORK WITH AL QAEDA.

OR ELSE...

AND ANOTHER ANOTHER THING:

BUSH GOT HIS TERRORISTS ALIVE - EVEN SADDAM WAS CAPTURED ALIVE.

I AM NOT COMPLAINING ABOUT OBAMA'S ACTIONS; I AM COMPLAINING ABOUT HOW BUSH WAS TREATED BY THE LEGACY MEDIA AND THE LEFT.

BUSH'S MADE SEVERAL PHONE CALLS TO OBAMA?!?!?!?!?!

Right after Obama called Dubya to tell him the good news, his secretary dialed up Clinton - but before the call could through, Obama's phone rang: it as Dubya.

Dubya asked him to update him on Osama.

Obama was a little puzzled, but because he was making so many calls he figured he got mixed up and patiently told Dubya again that Osama was dead. Bush congratulated him and hung up.

A second later Obama's phone rang again - it was Dubya again: "Mr. president, how's the hunt for Osama going?"

Obama told him again, "WE GOT HIM! OSAMA IS DEAD!" and hung up, thinking it was late and maybe the former president was sleepy or... off the wagon on account of the good news.

Sure enough, the phone rang again - it was Bush again, asking Obama again how the hunt for Osma was going.

Now, Obama had had enough - he was already late for his TV address and still had a few dozen calls to make.

Exasperated he told Dubya, "OSAMA IS DEAD! OSAMA IS DEAD! OSAMA IS DEAD! DON'T YOU GET IT, YOU STUPID DRUNK MORON! I GOT HIM! IS IT TOO DIFFICULT TO WRAP YOUR ITTY-BITTY BRAIN AROUND!? OSAMA IS DEAD! OSAMA IS DEAD! OSAMA IS DEAD! "

Bush paused, then said: "Of course I get it Mr president. I just like the way it sounds!"

LARA LOGAN TELLS HER STORY, BUT SADLY, FALLS SHORT OF THE MARK

Israel Matzav has the video of Lara Logan's 60 Minutes interview about her horrific rape ordeal in Egypt. But as Phyllis Chesler notes, she was too politically correct:
With all due respect both for Logan’s terrible ordeal and for her choice to “break the silence,” how naive can she have been? How frightened is she still now? Does Logan fear she will lose her mainstream media credentials if she analyzes what happened to her in feminist and political terms?

I think she does. While she has told the truth about what happened to her, her careful, cautious, exceedingly politically correct presentation suggests that many hands were, once again, behind what she said and how she said it.

Logan was born in South Africa where the sexual violence against girls and women is extreme. She was born in Africa where gang-rape and rape have been employed not as a spoil of war but as a systematic weapon of war (think Rwanda, Darfur, Congo, Liberia). She is a reporter at a time in history when both infidel and Muslim women are routinely raped—then arrested for it, raped again by their jailers, then flogged, hung, or stoned for the crime of having been raped. Think Iran. Think Pakistan.

And finally, it is a well known fact that the male sexual harassment of women on the streets of Egypt is pandemic. One survey documented that 98% of infidel or foreign women and 88% of Egyptian women have been harassed on these mean streets. Thus, should women reporters not cover Muslim countries?

Guess what? Muslim men also rape Muslim and infidel boys as well as foreign male journalists whom they also torture and behead. (Think Daniel Pearl.) There is a long history of Muslim men kidnapping, enslaving, selling, branding, and castrating infidel men as well as selling infidel women as sex slaves.
That's symbolic of a double-standard held in Islam on male homosexuality - they can be hostile, yet they can be favorable simultaneously, depending on the situation/location. I guess one could wonder if lesbians, by contrast, have less rights than gays.

As for Logan's PC approach, it's sad but predictable she would do this, and all but let her rapists off the hook; specifically, not mention their religion and such.

They Might As Well Have Just Told Us There Is A Link Between Bin Laden Attack and Royal Honeymoon Delay

From WWD:
No Link Seen Between Bin Laden Attack and Royal Honeymoon Delay

LONDON - A spokeswoman for St. James’s Palace said there was no link between the U.S. attack on Osama bin Laden and the decision by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to postpone their honeymoon.

On Saturday, the day after the wedding, St. James’s Palace announced that the couple “have chosen not to depart for a honeymoon immediately,” and their future honeymoon, overseas, “will not be disclosed in advance.”

The announcement came as a surprise: The couple were widely believed to be headed for Jordan or Kenya for a post-wedding break.

“The couple made their choice weeks ago to postpone the honeymoon,” said a spokeswoman. “It was a personal decision," she said, stressing it had nothing to do with the U.S. military operation that left bin Laden dead and the American government bracing for possible retaliation.

Osama bin Laden: is this photo a fake? YES!


An image apparently showing a dead Osama bin Laden broadcast on Pakistani television and picked up by British newspaper websites is a fake.
The bloodied image of a man with matted hair and a blank, half-opened eye has been circulating on the internet for the past two years. It was used on the front pages of the Mail, Times, Telegraph, Sun and Mirror websites, though swiftly removed after the fake was exposed on Twitter.
It appears the fake picture was initially published by the Middle East online newspaper themedialine.org on 29 April 2009, with a warning from the editor that it was "unable to ascertain whether the photo is genuine or not".

ISRAEL HALTS TAX TRANSFERS TO FATAH

It's already been reported a few days ago about how Fatah and Hamas have formed a pact. Following this, the Israeli government has wisely brought money transfers to them to a halt:
Israel has suspended the transfer of tax revenue to the Palestinian Authority in response to its alliance with Hamas, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Sunday.

Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz has apparently cancelled the latest routine handover of some NIS 300 million (approx. $88 million) in customs funds and other levies collected on behalf of the Palestinians, as stipulated in the Oslo Accords.

Israel said last week that it would impose sanctions in response to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' surprise announcement of a unity deal with Hamas.

Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said that Israel's decision will not impede the unity deal between the Palestinian factions.
They didn't deserve the money anyway; it was socialism from the start. The money should be reserved for Israel's own security and development, not for terrorists.

FRENCH COURT IS BACKING ANOTHER AL-DURA SHAM

In this case, it's a libel suit that was filed by the father of the boy himself against the doctor who testified the real reasons behind injuries he'd sustained:
A French court has backed a libel suit against an Israeli doctor by the father of Mohammed al-Dura, whose murder by Gaza terrorists was falsely blamed on the IDF.

The al-Dura murder, for which the IDF originally apologized, was filmed by French journalists, whose claim the boy was killed by IDF fire later was disproven.

The father, Jamal al-Dura, said he was injured while trying to protect his child, but Israeli Dr. Yehuda David told a French newspaper that he had operated on Jamal in 1994 after a surgical operation in Gaza failed. He revealed that the injuries that were claimed to be caused by IDF fire actually were due to an injury which left scars as a result of the surgery.

Jamal al-Dura sued the doctor for slander, and the court approved the suit on Friday, ordering Dr. David to pay him NIS 30,000 (nearly $9,000). Dr. David said he will appeal the decision in favor of the suit, which he called “a terrible scam.”

He told reporters, “They are twisting the truth…This is disgusting," and he warned that the decision could spur further terrorist attacks and an escalation in anti-Israel hate from Europe.

The Israeli government has funded Dr. David’s defense and will continue to help him in his appeal, two ministers said after the conviction. Arab MK Ahmed Tibi demanded that the doctor be prosecuted for violating doctor-patient confidentiality by publishing the information on the operation.
What's really disgusting is how the court continues to uphold more libels against Israeli reps, and favors the monsters here. Another disgusting thing is Tibi rearing his ugly head. The father should be throughly ashamed of himself for exploiting his offspring for blood libels.

NETANYAHU: THE IMPORTANCE OF DEFENDING OURSELVES

Benjamin Netanyahu has given his speech for Holocaust Memorial Day, and said the following:
The six million Jews who were murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust were remembered on Sunday in ceremonies held across the nation at sundown, the eve of Holocaust Martyrs' and Heroes' Remembrance Day. [...]

In his speech, Netanyahu asked the nation to walk away with three important lessons from the Holocaust.

The first lesson, he said, is "If someone threatens to destroy us, we should not ignore it or diminish it."

He asked, "Has the world understood this? I doubt it. We cannot just think that the threats of Holocaust are over. We have new threatening forces today. They call for our destruction."

"Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas - they call for the destruction of the Jewish people," the prime minister said. "All of those who said they have learned the lessons of the Holocaust, they need to condemn, in a clear way, those who call for the destruction of the Jewish state. The world has not done this. These threats against us, we cannot sweep them aside."

Netanyahu said the second lesson was "the duty to reveal the face of hatred against our nation."

Such hatred, he said, grew, conquered, and impacted opinion makers and leaders in Europe before the Holocaust.

"Now this hatred is emerging again in Europe against the Jewish state," Netanyahu emphasized.

Netanyahu concluded his speech with a last lesson: "We can't leave our fate in the hands of others."

He said, "If we don't defend ourselves, the world won't stand by our side. It is appropriate to declare here, today, and now to all of our enemies that they should know one thing: When the people of Israel and the army of Israel say to the world 'no more', we mean every word."
And this is why self-reliance is crucial to our survival.

Also worthy of note: aging Holocaust survivors give relics to Yad Vashem as part of preserving their memory for future generations.

GADAFI MIGHT BE LYING ABOUT THE DEATH OF HIS SON: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS EVERYONE BY A DAY

VIA HOT AIR:

The rebel’s spokesman in Benghazi told the media that the whole thing smells fishy — and reminiscent of another famous Qaddafi propaganda ploy:

Al Jazeera’s Sue Turton, reporting from Benghazi, said there were “an awful lot” of suggestions in Libya that the news of the deaths could be fabricated.

AND THIS VIA HOT AIR: Fadel Lamen: Sources: Qaddafi may be lying about the airstrike that killed his son

But the details on the Gaddafi hit don’t add up, and they make me—and a half dozen sources I talked with last night, including several in Libya—skeptical about how close we came to hitting the dictator. Or that three grandchildren were actually killed, as Gaddafi’s embattled government claims…

Like most of what the spokesmen there say, the regime has so far failed to provide any proof of its claim, except to guide the Western journalists in a tour of a facility bombed by NATO. The lack of clear evidence of any death, except spots of blood, just increases cynicism.

AND THIS VIA HOT AIR: Al Jazeera: Libyan rebels skeptical that Qaddafi’s son was killed in airstrike

Al Jazeera’s Sue Turton, reporting from Benghazi, said there were “an awful lot” of suggestions in Libya that the news of the deaths could be fabricated.

“One of the main spokesmen for the Transitional National Council, Abdul Hafez Goga, is saying he thinks it could all be fabrication, that it may well be Gaddafi is trying to garner some sympathy,” she said.
