BELGIAN SOCIALISTS OVERTURN BAN ON MUSLIM HEADSCARVES IN GHENT

Dhimmitude from socialists and greenies in Belgium:

WASHINGTON – A Belgian city, Ghent, has reversed its ban on civil servants wearing headscarves put into effect in 2007. Socialist and Green Party council members overturned the ban.

Reuters, on reporting on the issue, blamed “center-right parties” pushed these efforts in the city council. A petition of 10,000 citizen’s signatures was collected and restarted the discussion over the civil servant headscarf ban.

Once again, socialists manage to dictate Europe's way of life, and spell doom for a country built off of land that's really part of France and Holland.

IS GEOFF JOHNS AFRAID TO MENTION A CERTAIN RELIGION?

Collider interviewed Geoff Johns about his work on the Green Lantern series, and that includes his introduction of an adherent to Islam along with a noticeable bias against Americans in the setup. On that whole subject, he said:

Your last major contribution to Green Lantern is Simon Baz, who is the first Arab-American Green Lantern. What does that mean to you, personally?

JOHNS: My dad is Lebanese. Detroit has the biggest Lebanese community outside of Lebanon. I really wanted to talk about cultural fear. The best thing about Green Lantern – and this is for anyone who ever writes the character – is that fear is never going to be out of date. Batman’s parents can die 70 years ago or tomorrow, and he’s still relevant. Superman can land here 70 years ago or today, and he’s still relevant. As long as Green Lantern is still dealing with fear, it’s going to be relevant. Rebirth really grew out of 9/11. 9/11 happened, and then two years later, I was writing about fear. It was obviously connected. That affected everybody, in so many ways, and Simon was the next step to that. It had been so long since 9/11. I’m half Lebanese, but a lot of my family, on my dad’s side, is full Arabic and they’ve had to deal with a lot of things, in the way of 9/11. Just getting on a plane is a pain in the ass. So, I wanted to write something about cultural fear, and Simon grew out of that. I knew I was going to get some flack for it, from certain groups, and some racist reactions, but it’s a very personal character for me. I wanted to develop somebody like Simon and explore the idea of cultural fear. It’s just a different kind of fear.

Facinating how he feels that way, yet doesn't have the courage to mention or acknowledge that the real concern is character's religion. Arabs and Lebanese of non-Muslim backgrounds like himself were far from worrying average Americans as much as any who are from such a background. Yet for someone who says he's all bothered about fear, he doesn't seem brave enough to honestly acknowledge the Religion of Peace he's gone out of his way to apologize for, preferring instead to reduce it all to a matter of "racism" when Islam is a religion and not a race. Gee, what's he so scared of? If he really feels Islam is defensible, why doesn't he show the courage to overcome great fear, per the series he spent too long writing, and say what he thinks is defensible about the Koran? Funny how somebody who's so concerned about Americans fearing outside belief systems seems fearful of citing what they've got a problem with honestly.

His grievance about the difficulties of boarding a plane is misplaced and superfluous too. There's other criminals in history airport security has to worry about, and everybody has to be subject to monitoring for possible danger to other passengers, regardless of race, religion or national ancestry. There's even Islamofascists hidden plain sight that the public needs to be on the lookout for. That could include Colleen LaRose, aka Jihad Jane, who was arrested for plotting to attack cartoonist Lars Vilks in Sweden, and thankfully, she was arrested by the police before doing that.

That Johns is keeping up his stance even after the massacre at Fort Hood and the Boston jihad bombing is reprehensible and does as much a disservice to people like himself as it does to the victims of the horrifying and cowardly attacks by Nidal Hasan and the Tsarnaev brothers, who adhered to the very religion he doesn't even show the courage to mention. There's a reasonable argument one could make that if Johns wants to show some courage, he could also visit and lend his support to groups like 9-11 Families for a Safe America, and offer his condolences to the victims of Hasan and the jihad bombing in Boston. He could even try to write up a story dedicated to the victims of jihad in the comics he gets assigned to script. So far, he hasn't done that, and if he doesn't have the courage to pitch a story that's sympathetic to victims of jihadist terror, then I'm not sure he's qualified to argue about fear, when he remains very superficial and otherwise dishonest about the pertinent issues of 9-11.

WHAT THE IRS REALLY STANDS FOR NOW...

IT MATTERS NOT IF THE ATTACKS ON CONSERVATIVE AMERICANS THAT CAME FROM THE IRS WAS DIRECTED FROM THE WHITE HOUSE, TREASURY OR THE IRS.

WE SHOULD SHUT THE IRS AND INSTITUTE A FLAT TAX.

IT WOULD NULLIFY THE CORRUPTING POWER POLITICIANS HAVE AND RESTORE OUR DEMOCRACY.

 NOTE:

SINCE THE EPA DID MUCH THE SAME THING, IT WOULD SEEM TO HAVE BEEN AN ADMINISTRATION WIDE PROGRAM.

WE SHOULD SHUT THE EPA, TOO.

FASCISTS IN EUSSR & FRANCE GETTING READY TO ARREST MARINE LE PEN FOR "RACIST SPEECH"

BBC:

French far right leader loses immunity, faces charges 

French far right leader, Marine Le Pen, could face criminal charges for inciting racism, the BBC has learnt. The French authorities opened a case against Mrs Le Pen in 2011 after she likened the sight of Muslims praying in the streets to the Nazi occupation of France. 

As a European Parliament member (MEP), she enjoyed immunity from prosecution. However, this protection was removed by a European parliamentary committee in a secret vote this week. BBC chief political correspondent Gary O'Donoghue says he has been told that the vote to remove her immunity was "overwhelming". It will need to be ratified by the full parliament, but that's expected to be a formality, our correspondent says. When the parliament's legal affairs committee first tried to consider the case, Marine Le Pen, leader of France's far right National Front party, failed to turn up. This week she sent a fellow French MEP in her place. 

The move clears the way for the French authorities to pursue a case against the leader, who steered her party to a record 18% showing in the first round of last year's presidential election.

THE EU BUREAUCRACY IS FASCIST. MORE LIKE THE EUSSR THAN THE USA.

WHAT SHE SAID WAS TRUE AND TRUTH IS ALWAYS A DEFENSE AGAINST THE CHARGES OF SLANDER AND LIBEL.

AND IF OFFENSIVE SPEECH IS NOT PROTECTED, THEN THEE IS NO NEED FOR ANY FREE SPEECH LAWS; THEY BECOME A SHAM.

THIS IS JUST FURTHER PROOF THAT THE RULING ELITES OF THE EU AND EUROPE ARE FASCIST DHIMMIS WHO SERVE ISLAMISM MORE THAN WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

TO SURVIVE EUSSR FASCISM AND DHIMMIFICATION THAT'S RAPIDLY BECOMING ISLAMIFICATION EUROPE NEEDS A REVOLUTION.

LE PEN DID THE RIGHT THING NOT TO ATTEND THE FASCIST KANGAROO COURT.

HER SUPPORTERS IN FRANCE - NEARLY 1-IN-5 - SHOULD TAKE TO THE STREETS AND TAKE DIRECT ACTION AGAINST TH FASCISTS.

I WILL SAY MARINE LE PEN IS WRONG ABOUT ONE THING:

THE ISLAMIST ARE WORSE THAN THE NAZIS.

NAZIS NEVER DESTROYED THE ART THE DEEMED PERVERSE AND THEY DIDN'T THROW ACID IN THE FACES OF THEIR DAUGHTERS AND WIVES AN THEY DIDN'T FIGHT TERRORISTIC INTERNECINE WARS - AS ISLAMISTS DO.

MARINE LE PEN DOES SAY SOME AWFUL SHIT SOMETIMES, BUT SHE IS MILES BETTERS THAN THE EUSSR FASCISTS AND THE ISLAMISTS.

REMEMBER: FIRST THEY COME FOR THE MARINE LE PENS....

THE FRUITS OF OBAMA'S POLICIES: IRAQ SEES 1000 DEATHS IN MAY; THE MOST KILLED IN ANY MONTH SINCE SECTARIAN CIVIL WAR IN 2007

BBC:

Iraq 'saw 1,000 killed in May' NEW 

The United Nations says more than 1,000 people were killed in Iraq in May, the highest death toll since the sectarian violence of 2006-7.

BECAUSE OF OBAMA'S POLICIES - HIS BOTCHED TROOP AGGREEMENT NEGOTIATIONS AND THE WITHDRAWAL OF US TROOPS, AL QAEDA AND IRAN ARE NOW FIGHTING OVER WHO WILL CONTROL IRAQ.

IT MATTERS NOT IF THIS RESULT IS MERELY THE UNINTENDED BUT INEVITABLE CONSEQUENCE OF APPEASEMENT, A RESULT OF INCOMPETENCE, OR A RESULT OF THE PREMEDITATED POLICY OF A POSTMODERN LEFTISTS OR CRYPTO-ISLAMIST WHO LOVES ISLAM AND HATES THE WEST.

ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY THAT THE CONSISTENCY OF OBAMA'S RESULTS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN AND EGYPT AND LIBYA CERTAINLY POINTS TO IT BEING A RESULT OF A CAREFULLY PLANNED AND WELL-EXECUTED STRATEGY.

IOW: IF OBAMA ISN'T A MOLE FOR THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD , THEN HE MIGHT AS WELL BE. 

IOW: IF OBAMA ISN'T A MOLE FOR THE GRAMSCIAN SOCIALISTS, THEN HE MIGHT AS WELL BE.

"BY THEIR FRUITS SHALL YOU KNOW THEM..."

UK: Shopkeeper Told He Must Remove "Obey Our Laws" T-Shirt Because It Incites Racial Violence

From the South Wales Argus: 

A NEWPORT shopkeeper has been forced by police to remove a T-shirt from his shop window because they felt it “could be seen to be inciting racial hatred.”

Matthew Taylor, 35, the owner of Taylor’s clothes store on Emlyn Walk in the city, printed up and displayed the T-shirt with the slogan: “Obey our laws, respect our beliefs or get out of our country” after Drummer Lee Rigby, 25, was killed in near Woolwich barracks in London last week.

But following a complaint from a member of the public, police came to his store and threatened to arrest him unless he removed the Tshirt from sight. 

Mr Taylor said: “I had a visit from two CSOs (community support officers) because it has been reported by someone who felt it was offensive. 

“It’s not meant to be offensive. I didn’t produce it to be offensive. It’s what I believe. At the end of the day if you don’t like the way a country is run and don’t like our beliefs then go somewhere else, don’t go killing people. I don’t care if you Welsh, Scottish, English, go somewhere else if you don’t like it.” 

Newport city councillor, Majid Rahman said: “I believe in freedom of speech and defend his rights to say what he wants, but once it starts offending people then it’s a police matter and it’s up to them whether they think it’s broken any laws.”

See? They got their marching orders, and the cops hopped to it. Britain is not for British people who want to follow British laws. It's for anyone who feels offended, especially stupid fucking Muslim bigots who hate infidels, want to spread Sharia law, and will resort to Jihad if we don't act like Dhimmis.

And this guy didn't even say anything specifically about Islam. The police actually had to guess that that is what he meant. 

In other words, it's a thought crime.

Even the oblique anti-Sharia speech is being stomped on by the ruling class.

And, also think about it, if they had to guess, that means they are the "racists" because they thought it was so obvious, they didn't even have to ask him what his intent was.

The police and the ruling elite need to be removed from power, by any means necessary.

It will come to that if they don't get start working for the British people again, and soon.

HERE'S MORE PROOF OBAMA IS EVIL: HE'S CUTTING MEALS FOR MARINES ON ACTIVE DUTY IN AFGHANISTAN WHILE FORCE-FEEDING GITMO DETAINEES AND GIVING THREE-SQUARE MEALS TO INMATES IN FEDERAL PRISONS

SICKENING:

USING THE SEQUESTRATION AS AN EXCUSE, OBAMA IS CUTTING MEALS FOR MARINES ON ACTIVE DUTY IN AFGHANISTAN WHILE AT THE SAME TIME CONTINUING TO FORCE-FEED GITMO DETAINEES AND WHILE CONTINUING TO GIVE 3-SQUARE MEALS TO INMATES IN FEDERAL PRISONS

OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES ARE EVIL.

APPARENTLY, THERE'S JUST ONE FORM OF HATE SPEECH ALLOWED IN THE WEST: ISLAMIST SPEECH

IF HATE SPEECH CAN BE BANNED OR PUNISHED - AN IDEA AND POLICY AS REPULSIVE AS IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL - THEN WHY NOT BAN THE KORAN AND ISLAM AND ARREST IMAMS THAT CALL FOR JIHAD AND SHARIA AND CLOSE DOWN THEIR MOSQUES?

WHY HAVE NO ISLAMISTS BEEN CHARGED WITH THIS CRIME?

BECAUSE THAT WOULDN'T BE POLITICALLY CORRECT.

IOW:

WHAT DEFINES "HATE SPEECH" ISN'T HATE; IT'S WHETHER OR NOT THE SPEECH CONFORMS TO WHAT'S ACCEPTABLE TO THE RULING ELITE.

AND OUIR RULING ELITES ARE DHIMMIS, SO BLUNTLY SPEAKING THE TRUTH ABOUT ISLAMISM AND CRITICIZING ISLAMISM IS CALLED HATE SPEECH.

IOW:

IN A TYRANNICAL SOCIETY THAT APPEASES ISLAM, BEING TRUTHFUL ABOUT ISLAM IS HATE SPEECH.

IOW:

TRUTH IS THE NEW HATE SPEECH.

THERE'S A REMEDY: TOSS OUT THE RULING ELITES.

THE SUN IS SETTING ON THE BRITISH EMPIRE, AND THE CRESCENT IS RISING

GATESONE:

The moment that the white British become a minority will symbolize a huge transfer of power -- cultural political, economic and religious -- an "irreversible change in British society, unprecedented for at least a millennium." — David Coleman, Professor of Demography, University of Oxford 

Islam is on track to become the dominant religion in Britain within the next generation, according to new census data published by the British government. 

The numbers show that although Christianity is still the main religion in Britain -- over 50% of the population describe themselves as such -- nearly half of all Christians in Britain are over the age of 50, and, for the first time ever, fewer than half under the age of 25 describe themselves as Christian. 

By contrast, the number of people under 25 who describe themselves as Muslim has doubled over the past ten years: one in ten under the age of 25 are Muslim, up from one in 20 in 2001. 

If current trends continue -- a Muslim population boom, combined with an aging Christian demographic and the increasing secularization of British natives -- Islam is set to overtake Christianity in Britain within the next 20 years, according to demographers.

IF ENGLISH AND WELSH AND SCOTTISH PEOPLES DO SOMETHING BOLD NOPW, THEN THEY CAN REMAIN PART OF THE WEST.

BUT IT'S NOW OR NEVER.

HERE'S WHAT THEY MUST DO:

• END MUSLIM IMMIGRATION
• END WELFARE FOR ALL NON-CITIZENS
• DEPORT (OR JAIL) SEDITIOUS MUSLIMS WHO WANT SHARIA FOR THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS OR THE NATION

EUROZONE UNEMPLOYMENT HITS NEW RECORD HIGH

Unemployment in the eurozone has reached another record high, according to official figures. The seasonally-adjusted rate for April was 12.2%, up from 12.1% the month before. An extra 95,000 people were out of work in the 17 countries that use the euro, taking the total to 19.38 million. Both Greece and Spain have jobless rates above 25%. The lowest unemployment rate is in Austria at 4.9%.

TO RECOVER ECONOMICALLY, EUROPE NEEDS TO DROP THE EURO AND DISMANTLE THE EU AND REDUCE TAXES.

FIRST, THE WEAKEST ECONOMIES OF THE SOUTH SHOULD WITHDRAW FROM THE EURO AT ONCE.

THEN, EVERY NATION IN EUROPE NEEDS TO DECLARE A MORATORIUM ON ALL ENERGY TAXES.

SHORT OF THIS WE ARE GOING TO SEE MORE OF THE SAME: A SLOW-MOTION DEPRESSION.

NOTE: EUROPE'S SOVEREIGN DEBT CRISIS WAS NOT BROUGHT ON BY BUSHCHENEY TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH, TWO "UNFUNDED WARS", GOP DEREGULATION FOR BIG OIL/BIG CORPORATIONS, OR MASSIVE MILITARY SPENDING.

IT WAS BROUGHT ON BY EXCESSIVE WELFARE AND SOCIALIST POLICIES.

THE RULING ELITES OF EUROPE THOUGHT IMPORTING NON-EUROPEAN WORKERS WOULD FILL THE GAP AND FUND THESE SOCIAL PROGRAMS, BUT THE IMMIGRANTS MERELY PUT A BIGGER DRAIN ON THE WELFARE STATE - WHILE ERODING SOCIAL COHESION.

SO... EUROPE ALSO NEEDS TO END MULTICULTURALISM, END IMMIGRATION WITHOUT ASSIMILATION AND DEPORT ALL NON-EUROPEANS/NON-CITIZENS WHO REFUSE TO ASSIMILATE AND WHO CANNOT BE INDEPENDENT OF WELFARE.

IS THIS TOUGH MEDICINE?

YES.

BUT THE ALTERNATIVE IS DEATH FOR ALL OF EUROPE - ECONOMICALLY AND CULTURALLY.

HIZB'ALLAH ARMORY FOUND IN NIGERIA?!?!?

YES, DEAR, THERE REALLY IS A GLOBAL JIHAD:

An armoury belonging to the Lebanese group Hezbollah has been discovered in northern Nigeria, the West African nation's army and spy agency has said. Three Lebanese nationals have been arrested, an army spokesman, Brig Gen Ilyasu Isa Abba, said. 

The cache, including rifles, anti-tank weapons and an RPG, were found in a warehouse in the city of Kano, he said. Nigeria's State Security Service said they were intended for use against "Israeli and Western interests".  

"This is the handwork of Hezbollah," Bassey Ettang, director of the State Security Service in Kano said.

GLOBAL JIHAD IS REAL AND BEING FOUGHT ON MANY FRONTS, NOT ALL KINETIC.

THIS ARMORY, AND THE BEHEADING IN LONDON, AND THE BOMBING IN BOSTON, AND THE RIOTS IN STOCKHOLM - AND THEIR CREEPING SHARIA EFFORTS - ARE ALL AIMED AT THE SAME END: ISLAMIFICATION/DHIMMIFICATION.

RECOGNIZING THIS FACT IS NOT ISLAMOPHOBIA; IT IS REALITY.

DENYING THIS FACT IS ISLAMOPHOBIA; THE PC CROWD THAT DENIES THE REALITY OF GLOBAL JIHAD - THE FACT THAT ISLAM IS ENGAGED IN A WORLD-WIDE RELIGIOUS WAR AGAINST THE WEST - ARE MOTIVATED FROM FEAR OF ISLAM.

MANUFACTURED CONTROVERSY ABOUT AN AMUSEMENT PARK IGNORES THE DEEPER CONCERNS

An amusement park in Rishin Letzion has been attacked for ostensibly discriminatory policies of giving Jewish and Arabic schools seperate visiting days, but there's actually a reason why they had to do this:

The popular Superland amusement park in Rishon Letzion is under attack in the media and in the political arena for a policy of keeping Jewish and Arab school classes apart, but independent-thinking parents and teachers explained Thursday why they feel the policy is justified and necessary.

Arutz Sheva has spoken to parents of children who visited the park over the past year. They said that the Arab children and youths in the park have a habit of provoking fights with the Jewish kids, and that they behave similarly in other parks in Israel.

A teacher who did not want to be identified said the Arab groups have a marked tendency of behaving “with insolence and brutality,” turning the Jewish kids' fun days into violent nightmares.

"We arrive at the parks with dozens of children,” the teacher said. “Arab groups often begin to provoke the Jewish kids. The Arab youths curse, swear and try to provoke a violent fracas. We need to support Superland in its decision. We cannot surrender to the extreme Left in its attempt to harm the park, which simply wanted to have separate days in order to avoid unnecessary violence.”

Another teacher told Arutz Sheva about similar experiences at the Kiftzuba children's amusement park near Jerusalem, where there have been numerous violent fights between Jewish and Arab youth lately. “The Arab students swear and curse and behave rudely toward the Jews. We can't have fun days if the parks are mixed. That is the truth and there is no other truth.”

"The leftist media is trying to twist the truth, as it always does, and present a picture of poor Arab kids who were not allowed to enter this park or another, but what I said is the truth and this is the real picture. It's not a matter of racism.”

So parents and school systems alike cannot provide for the safety of the students from harrassing cretins? Those in the MSM and even those in the Knesset who buy into this manufacture hook line and sinker should be ashamed of themselves. The amusement park management shouldn't give in to this.

I also need to question the honesty of an Arab - and potential Muslim - teacher in this article:

The Superland amusement park in Rishon Lezion on Thursday rejected a claim by an Arab high school teacher that it was enforcing segregation between Arab and Jewish groups.

“We emphasize that Superland is not, never was and never will be a place for racism,” it said in a statement to The Jerusalem Post.

“Arab and Jewish schools requested that their attendance be separated from each other, and perhaps we made an unintentional error by accepting their requests.”

It said that the park had been in business for many years, hosting children from all sectors, including both Jews and Arabs.

Khaled Shakra, a seventhgrade teacher at the L.B. Ajial High School in Jaffa, said he tried to buy 25 tickets for his students and at first was told that the dates from June 17- 19 were reserved for schools, but once the telephone operator realized it was for an Arab school, the operator transferred the call to another operator, who said Superland was sold out for the day he requested.

The teacher then decided to call back posing as a Jew, saying his name was “Eyal,” and he ordered the tickets without any problem.

What if he's not being very honest or not telling the whole story? That would make him a publicity hound, to say nothing of someone who's trying to exploit taqqiya for the sake of sugarcoating his own prejudices. Or even those of the vulgar students who harrassed Jewish students. That told, the paper did bring up the following:

The Post asked if it mattered that the schools themselves requested the separation, perhaps to avoid tensions or violence.

“I think it doesn’t matter who asks for the separation, it is very bad that they agreed to this request no matter who it was from,” said Beeri-Sulitzeanu. “Even separate but equal is not acceptable.”

He said that if there was violence then there were disciplinary ways to deal with that, to kick the offenders off the park, but separation “is not a long-term solution to the problem,” and in the end, it “will only encourage violence.”

That's a fair and logical argument, and they should also have guards and security cameras in use. The Arabic schools whose students are anti-semitic also have to be screened carefully and made clear that if they don't follow respectable guidelines, they may not welcome them to the park any longer.

In the end, while there are reasonable arguments to be had here, I think this was otherwise a manufactured controversy that avoided some serious matters, and should be put aside. Something tells me that ironically, if Haredis wanted the park segregated by sexes, they'd be less inclined to raise a fuss, even if it weren't acceptable.

Update: there's more about the overlooked problems here too:

Not everyone agreed on Thursday that Superland's policy was mistaken.

"Those people who call this racism don't know what they're talking about," a female employee at Superland told Israel Hayom. "Days that are closed off for one sector of the population are a matter of course and based on schools' requests. Not every Arab student is bad and there have been schools that we really enjoyed hosting. But there are also ugly incidents in which Arab students come when the park is open to the public. There has been cutting in line, pushing, threats, curses and fist fights. On more than one occasion we had to summon the police after girls and female workers were sexually harassed."

A resident of Rishon Lezion said, "They [Arab youths at the park] cursed and spit, and when someone said something they made threats. On the day I was there with my children I approached the staff and they tried to help but they were afraid."

Those who turn their backs to something so disgusting should be ashamed of themselves. But I do know that any Arab/Muslim school that fails to deal with bullies and hoodlums may have to be barred from admission as punishment, and any students who refuse to comply by the rules should be banned from their grounds for life.

MATT HAWKINS NEEDS TO DO BETTER RESEARCH

In a minor conversation about the 7th issue of the Think Tank comic, Top Cow's senior manager Hawkins and a reader said the following:

@shannoniyer Iranians are Persian, Palestinians are Arab.You might be right but Persians/Arabs historical enemies
— Matt Hawkins (@topcowmatt) May 24, 2013

Some important points to make about history and facts:

• The name "palestine" comes from a name the Roman empire gave to the province of Judea, that is, Israel, after the year 135 CE, after defeating the Jewish revolt led by Bar Kokhba. There's no such thing as "palestinian people", they are Arabs. Golda Meir made this clear in 1969. The modern day claim was all propaganda mainly cooked up by the pro-Arab/Islamic British psychological warfare experts. Even a PLO operator admitted this in 1977.
• Hawkins should consider that while Iranians may be Persian descendents and the Arabs in this region are descended from the inhabitants of Saudi Arabia, many of them share something in common today: they're Muslim.
• The first guy's assumption is only half correct. On the one hand, it's theoretically true they might not attack Israel because they wouldn't want to strike their fellow Islamists. On the other hand, given the Islamic belief in martyrdom, and that there are plenty of jihadists more than willing to kill each other, that's why the whole notion Iran would refrain is naive thinking to the max.

As for Think Tank itself, I did some more research, and according to Fanboy Nation:

For about twenty minutes after I finish an issue of Think Tank I contemplate stocking up on canned goods, water, and emergency supplies. Matt Hawkins ensures that you will think about what’s going on in our world, even if you’d planned to be blissfully ignorant and just indulge in a comic. My main warning is that if you are a staunch Fox News Conservative, this likely is not the comic for you. If you are interested in how war, science, or a combination of the two, work, this comic is something you should continue to pick up until Hawkins and Ekedal retire.

Not if it's built on liberal anti-war/science beliefs, I'm afraid. If it's negative to conservatives, and if it resorts to trutherism, as I'd worried before, then the chances of it getting any of its subjects right is extremely minimal, if at all.

Hawkins has to choose whether he's interested in fantasy adventure like Aphrodite IX or fantasy politics like Think Tank's story. It just can't be both.

Update: here's a review of the second part of this story, which describes the story as so:

After previously being betrayed by his lover in previous comics, Mirra, Dr. David Loren finds himself numb and disillusioned. His realization that the military will never let him go causes his language to become more blunt and his behavior to become erratic. Under design is a bio-viral weapon that released into the air as a gas will target distinct strains of DNA to kill intended targets. The formula is designed to be specific in its targets, meaning that should the military use it on a Middle Eastern target, they will be able to destroy only one genetic group of people’ even with the close genetic heritage of the Israeli and Palestinian people. The project clearly violates international laws on genocide, and the general in charge of the project is not pleased with his name being attached. The battle of what is moral and what is necessary comes into play.

Whatever Hawkins had in mind here, it sounds ludicrous and mind-numbing. And, it's politically tendentious.

OBAMA'S IRS TARGETED PRO-ISRAEL GROUPS

A scandal recently rose in which it was discovered that the IRS was making things difficult for conservative sources at the behest of the Obama administration. Among those targeted were pro-Israel groups (via The Weekly Standard):

A Washington Free Beacon investigation has identified at least five pro-Israel organizations that have been audited by the IRS in the wake of a coordinated campaign by White House-allied activist groups in 2009 and 2010.

These organizations, some of which are too afraid of government reprisals to speak publicly, say in interviews with the Free Beacon that they now believe the IRS actions may have been coordinated by the Obama administration.

Many of the charities openly clashed with the Obama administration’s policy of opposing Israeli settlement construction over the so-called “Green Line,” which marks the pre-1967 boundary between Israel and the West Bank and West and East Jerusalem.

After the Obama administration took up the Israeli-Palestinian peace process as one of its most prominent foreign policy priorities in early 2009, and made a cessation of Israeli settlement construction the cornerstone of its approach, the nonprofits were subjected to a string of unflattering media reports.

White House-allied lobbying groups joined the media criticism by challenged the nonprofits’ tax-exempt status, arguing that they undercut President Barack Obama’s Middle East policies.

“Our concern at that time was that these articles weren’t just appearing by happenstance, but may have reflected an evolving policy shift in the Obama administration to scrutinize charitable giving by organizations on behalf of Jewish communities and institutions over the Green Line,” said Jerusalem-based attorney Marc Zell, who convened a private meeting of pro-Israel groups in August 2009 to discuss these concerns.

Isn't that something. The IRS has embarrassed itself with this scandal, in which they targeted Tea Party groups as well. The IRS owes an apology, and so too does the Obama administration and the MSM for this most reprehensible defamation act.

Buddhist mobs attack Muslim homes for second day in Myanmar; one dead

 

Buddhist mobs armed with sticks and machetes burned Muslim homes on Wednesday for a second day in the northern Myanmar city of Lashio, contradicting claims in state media that soldiers and police had restored calm.

A Reuters reporter saw scores of young men and boys on motorbikes and on foot marauding through the city of 130,000 people in a mountainous region about 700 km (430 miles) from the commercial capital Yangon.

THIS REVEALS:

MORE PROOF THAT ISRAEL DOESN'T HAVE A PARTNER FOR PEACE:

Hussein Fayyad, one of the commanders of the terror group that carried out the 1978 Coastal Road massacre, revealed on Tuesday that Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas had appointed him as one of his advisers. The attack, which led to the killing of 38 Israeli civilians, including 13 children, was planned and carried out by Abbas’s Fatah faction. Fayyad, who was released in a prisoner swap with Israel in 1985, said that Abbas signed a decree in 2008 promoting him to the position of “advisor” to the PA president.

The Washington Examiner reports that the IRS chief visited the White House more than once a week under President Obama, after having visited less than once a year under President Bush. The IRS chief came to the White House a reported 118 times from 2010 to 2011 under Obama, compared to only once from 2003 to 2007 under Bush — a 236-fold increase per day.  Under Bush, a White House appearance from the taxman came as frequently as the opening of the Olympic Games; under Obama it came more frequently than Sports Illustrated.

IT'S AS LIKELY SHULMAN DID NOT DISCUSS THE TARGETING OF CONSERVATIVES WITH THE MOST POLITICAL WHITE HOUSE OF ALL TIME AS IT IS LIKELY THAT HOLDER DID NOT COMMIT PERJURY.

SAUDI ARABIA'S WITCH HUNTS

Daniel Greenfield reports that sentenced 2 women to 1000 lashes and 10 years for witchcraft. Obviously, the charges were fabricated. Just as importantly, this shows how, while Europe and the US abandoned these inhuman beliefs long ago, the mindset believing in witchcraft still exists in the backwards world of Islamisogyny.

CONTRIVING JEWISH "TERRORISTS"

Steven Plaut tells how the Israeli left chooses to ignore jihadism while setting out to label presumed acts of vandalism by assumed Jewish perpetrators as "terrorism":

News headlines in the US over the past few weeks have focused on political targeting there by the Internal Revenue Service against conservative groups. But Israel is now experiencing a far worse form of political targeting by the state. In Israel the Attorney General is leading an initiative to have a small group of radical juveniles who engage in mischief declared to be a terrorist organization.

The group of politically motivated Jewish vandals operates under the name “Tag Mechir” or “Price Tag.” They were founded as a response in kind to Arab rock-throwing and general acts of vandalism against Jews perpetrated in the West Bank and in some other areas. Much of their “activity” consists of writing graffiti on cars and homes of Arabs or Jewish leftists. Their worst acts of misbehavior have involved vandalizing mosques. The local police have been unsuccessful in tracking down and arresting those involved, but the perps are thought to be young religious juveniles from settlements in the West Bank. The media find them as fascinating as the postman who bites the dog.

Most of the political “Right” in Israel, including most conservative and pro-settler organizations and parties, regard “Price Tag” as an embarrassment. The vandals have been condemned by almost every rabbi in the country, including those identifying with the “Right.” The legitimate Right fears the “Price Tag” mischief and pranks will alienate the general public. Conservative pundits, and I include myself in this group, have suggested that the proper way to deal with the “Price Tag” juveniles is with a hickory switch behind the woodshed.

The Price Taggers have damaged property and needlessly provoke Muslims and others in the most explosive region of the world. But they have killed no one. They do not engage in actual violence against humans, except for some revenge-rock-throwing. The same leftist establishment seeking to define these jackanapes as terrorists bends over backwards to excuse rock throwing by Arabs against Jews as “protest,” even when it maims children. The liberal media refuse to label THAT terrorism, but are cheering on the initiative to battle against the “Jewish terrorists” from “Price Tag.” Their crimes are closer to fraternity pranks than to actual terrorism. [...]

As it turns out, in many cases leftists and Arabs themselves have vandalized Arab property, including damage to olive trees, as provocations to be blamed upon “settlers” and the “Price Tag” group. Presumably “Tag Mechir” is happy to accept the “credit” for these, even when it is not involved. When a mosque in Israel’s Galilee was vandalized, the press and the chattering classes instantaneously named “Price Tag” as the perps. Later in turned out the vandalism was done by some local Arabs who live in the same town. None of the many cases of synagogues being vandalized by Arabs have been defined by the government as terrorism, even when the vandalism is perpetrated by officials in the PLO.

The initiative to proclaim the “Price Tag” group a terrorist organization has come from Israel’s politicized leftist Attorney General, Yehuda Weinstein. It was quickly endorsed by members of the leftist herd. Political hacks from the Likud joined in, including the Minister of Internal Security, as did Netanyahu’s Minister of Justice, Tzipi Livni from the Kadima faction. So did the head of the Shin Bet intelligence agency and the dean of one of the law schools in the country.

Attorney General Weinstein has a long track record of “differential prosecution.” This is manifested in his refusal to prosecute leftists and Arabs, while running a special surveillance agency to spy on right-wing Jews. When an Arab fascist Knesset Member participated in the “Hamas flotilla” seeking to end Israel’s naval control of the waters around the Gaza strip and when she violently attacked Israeli soldiers, Weinstein refused to prosecute her or even ban her from running in the elections. Weinstein has studiously defended freedom of speech, but only for radical leftists and Arabs, while just as studiously seeking its suppression for everyone else. He has repeatedly indicted rabbis and others for “incitement” and “racism” when they dare to express political opinions with which the Left disagrees, even prosecuting people for catcalls at a soccer game, but has never indicted any leftists for calling for murder, for mutiny by soldiers, or for other acts of violence. On the other hand, Weinstein pursued a frivolous and openly partisan prosecution against rightist leader Avigdor Lieberman for trumped up evidence-free allegations of “corruption.”

Weinstein is a definite embarrassment, and so is Livni. These "price tag" acts of vandalism aren't even definitively proven to be committed by "settlers" and one can only wonder if they were committed by leftists, in a likely attempt to discredit the right.

DURBIN ON THE FIRST AMENDMENT

From Breitbart's Big Journalism:

In an appearance on Fox News Sunday, senior Illinois Senator, Democrat Dick Durbin, expressed doubt as to whether bloggers deserve constitutional protection for their work online.

On the May 26 broadcast of the Sunday show, Durbin told host Chris Wallace that he wasn't sure if bloggers or "someone who is Tweeting" should be given protections under a media shield law.

Video clip from Sunday, May 26, 2013:


Chilling words - especially in that Conservative bloggers are holding the Obama administration accountable when the mainstream media will not.

Erosion of the First Amendment enables and empowers tyranny.

Our Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves!

If something doesn't give, if Americans don't insist on strict interpretation of the Constitution, the Constitution will go up in smoke. And tyranny will win.

RETIRED HEAD OF BRITISH DOMESTIC INTELLIGENCE: THE ISLAMO-TERROR ENEMY IS EVERYWHERE

The former head of MI5 Dame Stella Rimington has called for British people to inform security services if they suspect their neighbours maybe extremists. Dame Stella, who supports the Government’s controversial ‘snoopers’ charter’, said people need to be more alert because it is impossible for security services to spot every threat. 

She called for a wartime vigilance and for people to be the Government’s ‘eyes and ears’ following the killing of Lee Rigby. The 78-year-old, who was MI5’s first female Director General, said: ‘The community has the responsibility to act as the eyes and ears, as they did during the war … where there were all these posters up saying the walls have ears and the enemy is everywhere.

AND NOT JUST BRITAIN, BUT SCANDINAVIA AND THE REST OF THE EUROPEAN CONTINENT.

IT'S NOW OR NEVER FOR ALL OF EUROPE - WITHER THE FIGHT AND DEFEAT THE ENEMY OR GET ABSORBED BY THEM.

ARE IMMIGRANTS IN SWEDEN DEPRIVED AND DISCRIMINATED AGAINST?

NO. THEY ARE UNGRATEFUL SCUM WHO ARE MORE COMMITTED TO JIHAD THAN LIBERTY, PLURALITY, DEMOCRACY AND PROSPERITY.

SWEDEN - (AND BY EXTENSION EUROPE AND THE USA AND EVERY OTHER NATION IN THE WEST WHICH WANTS TO REMAIN WESTERN) - OUGHT TO EXPEL NON-PRODUCTIVE IMMIGRANTS ON WELFARE  AND NON-ASSIMILATING IMMIGRANTS.

IF YOU WON'T BE PRODUCTIVE AND IF YOU WON'T ASSIMILATE THEN YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO REMAIN.

MORE PROOF CHINA IS NOT MERELY AN ADVERSARY; THEY ARE THE ENEMY - and we shouldn't depend on them to help us with the Norks

WASH POST:

Designs for many of the nation’s most sensitive advanced weapons systems have been compromised by Chinese hackers, according to a report prepared for the Pentagon and to officials from government and the defense industry. 

Among more than two dozen major weapons systems whose designs were breached were programs critical to U.S. missile defenses and combat aircraft and ships, according to a previously undisclosed section of a confidential report prepared for Pentagon leaders by the Defense Science Board.

THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IS ASCENDANT; IRAQ IS FALLING APART, AFGHANISTAN IS IN SHAMBLES, AND PUTIN AND CHINA ARE HAVING THEIR WAY.

EXCEPT FOR KILLING BIN LADEN, THE OBAMA PRESIDENCY HAS BEEN A COMPLETE AND TOTAL ABYSMAL FAILURE.

UK JIHADIST PROTESTED SIOE RALLY

The UK Mail (via Jihad Watch and Atlas Shrugs) found that one of the murderers in Woolwich also attended a protest against SIOE at a mosque in London:

Standing at the centre of a crowd, wearing a skull-cap and holding a mobile phone, this is Michael Adebolajo on the anniversary of 9/11 in 2009.

He was among hundreds of young Muslims who gathered outside Harrow Central Mosque in North-West London, to 'defend' it against a planned joint protest by the English Defence League and Stop the Islamisation of Europe group.

Even though that event was called off – and despite the mosque's pleas for peace from the Muslim youths – they vented their anger on the police instead.

Officers were pelted with bricks, bottles and fireworks. There were ten arrests.

SARKOZY STILL BELIEVES THERE WAS EVER A PALESTINIAN PEOPLE

The former French president visited Israel, and during a visit to Shimon Peres at the presidential manor, he said:

Sarkozy, whose maternal grandfather was Jewish, said the Jewish people, who waited for years to build their own state, were those who could best understand the Palestinians’ wish to have a state of their own.

The former French statesman, who arrived in Israel to receive an honorary doctorate from the Netanya Academic College, thanked Peres for his “warm hospitality” and reiterated his friendship for and commitment to Israel and the Jewish people.

Sorry, but I think he can take his claim of friendship and stuff it. All he did was trivialize his visit by suggesting he was more interested in pushing for 2-state solutions, and in doing a non-existent race/nationality a service. So, how can I be too sorry he lost the prior election?

Update: more of his dhimmified statements can be found here.

LONDON JIHADIST WAS ARRESTED IN KENYA AND DEPORTED BACK TO BRITAIN

One of the two savages who murdered the UK soldier had traveled through Kenya to try and reach the al Shabaab in Somalia, and was later sent back to Britain:

Evidence emerged last night that one of the suspects involved in the killing of the British soldier Lee Rigby was well known to anti-terror police and the security services for at least three years before the brutal Woolwich attack. Michael Adebolajo was arrested in Kenya under suspicion of being at the centre of an al-Qa'ida-inspired plot in 2010, The Independent on Sunday can reveal.

He was one of seven men arrested by Kenyan police after landing on an island off the Kenyan coast in November 2010. Local press reports of the arrests referred to Mr Adebolajo as a "Nigerian with a British passport" who was "suspected of masterminding the racket". Police claimed the men were travelling to Somalia to join the ranks of the al-Shabaab terrorist group. His family claimed he was held in detention and tortured before being deported back to Britain without charge.

After the incident, members of his family said he was "pestered" by MI5 agents pressuring him to become an informant for them and infiltrate radical Islamic extremist groups. Relatives said other family members were also harassed and questioned by the UK authorities. In an exclusive interview with The IoS, Mr Adebolajo's brother-in law claimed constant demands to get him to spy on Muslim clerics might have pushed him over the edge.

The allegation that MI5 knew of Mr Adebolajo's radical views for so long has increased the pressure on the intelligence services over their failure to recognise the scale of the threat he posed, amid the fall-out from the shocking killing of Drummer Rigby last Wednesday.

When I ponder the terrible circumstances that led to the horror of last week, I conclude that even if it's criminal for jihadists to travel abroad to wage Islamofascism, it's just as fatal an error for authorities to let these creatures back into the country because of the danger they could pose to the public.

But whether or not the authorities badgered him to help run surveillance on the mosques, it's Adebolajo who must be held accountable for his violent crimes, and he alone who's to blame. And for the horror he caused, he should be sent to the chair.

Update: more at the UK Mail.
