Exiled On Main Street: In Which A Westerner Yells At Two Burqa-Wearing Bitches On The Boulevard

Where Am I?

From Taki: 

The Swiss canton of Ticino is holding a referendum on a burqa ban, and it is about time. Burqa, niqab—it’s all Arabic to me, although I understand firsthand how deep-seated the hatred of women is in Arab countries that men wish to cover them up.

I find it incredible that in the time of terror bombings a person can totally conceal themselves while people who sit on parliamentary benches defend the act.

As I walked down Gstaad’s main street, a totally covered-up person whizzed by on a bicycle. Main Street in Gstaad is a car-free area now made much more dangerous by Arab women—again, if they are women—trying to stay upright on two wheels. After avoiding her I watched a group of covered-up ladies slowly make their way around the expensive shops that line the street.

“Hi, girls!” I yelled at them and smiled. “Relax, this is Switzerland—put on your bikinis.” A fat man approached me pumping his fist and looking like Orlando Furioso. But the only real Orlando Furioso was the poor little Greek boy who told him to shut the f—- up, that this was still a free country and that he would be chewing on his gums sooner rather than later if his manner didn’t improve.

Guess what? It improved. A couple of Swiss taxi drivers who witnessed the scene told me well done, but of course they wouldn’t dare do it themselves because their tips would suffer.

Not all women who wear burqas are bad people.

But, in my opinion, every time you see a burqa, you are seeing evidence of Islamic extremism (in other words, you are seeing evidence of a believer in using Jihad as a means to establish Sharia law in YOUR country) manifest in either

1) the women herself,

2) the husband of the women,

3) the Imam at the Mosque they attend,

or

4) some combination of the the aforementioned.

For my purposes here, I abbreviate the whole Jihad mechanism - which I believe is at work when I see a burqa - to the simple:

BURQA-WEARING BITCHES.

I do not believe we ought to tolerate Burqa-Wearing Bitches in our midst.

I believe a woman wearing a burqa is no different than a Nazi wearing an armband, or a KKK member wearing a hood.

We know there are Nazis and White Supremacists in our midst. But, it is not in the interest of our society for these people to become too bold in proclaiming their beliefs in public. 

When they are tolerated, they are normalized.

That is, the more people who would wear KKK hoods, Nazi armbands, or Burqas in public, the more we, as a society, come to accept these things as normal, part of the normal course of life.

We can not afford to allow this. Now, if I am not mistaken, Taki is not a man I would tend to agree with on some other subjects. But I believe he was right to do what he did here, and I think he is to be applauded for it.

Here's the thing: When I assert my opinion that a woman in a burqa is evidence of Islamic Extremism/Jihadism,

I AM EITHER RIGHT, OR I AM WRONG.

Or, some percentage in between. 

But, given that the stakes are so high - indeed the stakes are our Freedom, our Constitution, our culture - it is in our best interest to find out whether I am right or wrong. We MUST soon endeavor to find out whether the burqa is evidence of Jihadist beliefs, because as we can see, our society is currently in the early stages of a process of normalizing the Burqa.

The problem is, how do we find out if what I say is true? The answer is, we do what we always do when we are faced with a question in the West. We apply Scientific principles to the question.

The scientific task at hand here is one for the Social Sciences. As Wiki states:

Social science refers to the academic disciplines concerned with the society and the relationships with individuals within a society, which primarily rely on empirical approaches.

I would suggest that, in this case, we need to do Social Research using a Quantitative Design to determine what percentage of women who wear Burqa in public either

1) hold Jihadist beliefs themselves, or

2) are backed upon (owned?) by men either in the home, or at the Mosque, who hold Jihadst beliefs, and are coercing them to wear the burqa in public.

This is simple stuff. Yes, it will require time and money. And, it will require a well-designed survey. But this is the stuff Western society does. This is what we are good at. This is what has separated us from the rest of the world.

It certainly is not racist, Islamophobic, or bigoted to use scientific principles to learn about Islamic culture within our society. We have used these Sociological principles to study all sorts of other cultures and microcultures within our society.

We just need to have the will to carry such research out. This is no easy task when we, as a society, are so intimidated by groups like CAIR, and other "Civil Rights"/Special Interest groups, with their endless litany of dog whistle code words (islamophobic, bigoted, etc.), whose real purposes is to obfuscate the truth, or shut down scientific dialectic altogether.

I, for one, believe Western Civilization does still have the will to protect itself. Certainly, the counter-Jihad movement must have people within it, whose expertise lies within the Social Sciences. Certainly, someone could do a bit of heavy-lifting in this arena.

As I wrote above, the stakes are so high, it's a small price to pay.

FORMER EU LEADERS URGE COMMISSION TO ABANDON ITS ANTI-SETTLEMENT POLICY

Some common sense coming from former chairpeople of the EU:

A group of prominent figures from Europe and across the globe have called on the European Union to re-evaluate a recent European Commission directive pulling financing from Israeli enterprises in the "occupied territories."

Among those who signed the letter, which stated that reversing that decision would make a positive impact on the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian peace talks, were former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar, former Uruguay President Luis Alberto Lacalle and Lord William David Trimble, who was the first U.K. first minister from Northern Ireland and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1998.

"By treating Israel differently than most other states, this policy only reinforces the impression among Israelis that Europe is basically unfriendly to Israel and cannot be relied upon as it once was," the authors wrote.

Now they're talking. They have to consider that Israeli public opinion matters, and also to ponder that Islamofascism within their own borders is a much more serious concern. If the EU really wants to help matters, including their own world image, they'd do best to abandon this offensive policy of theirs and stop siding with the PLO. They also have to stop misusing European citizens' tax money.

BRITISH MUSLIM CONVERT WAS INVOLVED IN KENYA JIHAD ATTACK

The authorities have issued a warrant for one Samantha Lewthwaite from Britain:

Interpol has issued a wanted person’s alert for British woman Samantha Lewthwaite – in the wake of the massacre at a shopping centre in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

The move has raised suspicions that Lewthwaite, the widow of 7/7 bomber Jermaine Lindsey, could have been involved in the armed assault on the Westgate mall.

Somali Islamist group Al Shabaab, which is linked to al Qaeda, claimed responsibility for attack, in which at least 72 people were killed.

Some survivors have described a pale-skinned woman among the militants.

I see, so she was the wife of one of the suicide bombers back in 2005. There's a vital lesson in this case, to be sure: if there's a married couple who adhere to Islam and one turns to jihad activities, it's advisable to keep an eye on the other lest they follow suit. I hope that vile woman is caught and sent to face the highest court along with her husband.

Update: The Toronto Star says that:

Lewthwaite’s own story began sympathetically when she was portrayed as the distraught pregnant widow of Germaine Lindsay, who killed 26 people when he blew up a train in London’s Underground on July 7, 2005.

The Muslim convert condemned her husband’s crime and blamed the influence of radical mosques. “How these people could have turned him and poisoned his mind is dreadful,” she told Britain’s Sun newspaper eight years ago. “He was an innocent, naive and simple man. I suppose he must have been an ideal candidate.” Then she disappeared.

In December 2011, Kenyan authorities raided three Mombasa homes and reportedly found bomb-making material similar to that used in the London attacks in a home allegedly used by Lewthwaite.

She was not there, but she was charged in absentia with her alleged British accomplice, Jermaine Grant, for plotting to bomb hotels frequented by western tourists.

Translation: she spoke with a taqqiya tongue during the tragedy in 2005, and has since revealed her true colors.

SYRIA STILL KEEPS AROUND CHEMICALS

According to the Times of India/Reuters, a UN watchdog is supposed to inspect reports of further chemical weapon use in Syria:

AMSTERDAM: Experts from the world's chemical weapons watchdog will begin inspecting Syria's stockpile of toxic munitions by Tuesday, according to a draft agreement obtained by Reuters.

The draft, which is due to be voted on Friday night, calls on members of the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to make cash donations to fund Syria's fast-tracked destruction operation. [...]

Syria is instructed to provide inspectors with security and "immediate and unfettered" access to all sites. A failure to do so will trigger a meeting by the OPCW's core members within 24 hours, the draft says.

A UN Security Council Resolution, also to be voted on Friday, does not refer to the use of force as a means to enforce the destruction plan, a point which Washington had pressed for.

The OPCW inspectors will have 30 days to visit all chemical weapons facilities declared by Syria to the organisation last week, it states.

It is still unclear where and how the chemicals stockpile, the details of which have not been made public by the OPCW, will be destroyed. For most countries, the process often takes years, but Syria has been given until mid 2014.

I doubt the UN will make any convincing effort to track and abolish the chemicals they've brewed, if they don't intend to take any convincing action against Syria's dictatorship. After all, when much of their councils are dominated by Islamofascists, then the chances are the chemicals might not be destroyed, but rather, secretly transferred to some other despot. We can't rule out the possibilities of that happening.

And one sure thing: no matter what happens, the UN is still going to remain a very corrupt outfit.

LET OBAMACARE FAIL OF ITS OWN ACCORD: The Astute Bloggers Scoops them all by 2 Months

DANIEL HENNINGER/WSJ TODAY: "Let ObamaCare Collapse"

POWER LINE TODAY:

I’ve been dubious about the GOP fire-eating strategy of trying to block Obamacare by strangling its funding in the budget process is that Obamacare is going to collapse of its own weight before it even gets off the ground, while a government shutdown would give Obama a pretext to blame Republicans for Obamacare’s failures. 

TAB TWO MONTHS AGO:

HERE'S THE SIMPLE REASON DEFUNDING OBAMACARE IS A BAD IDEA: IT WILL SOON COLLAPSE ON ITS OWN, SO: AVOID GETTING BLAME

DURING ROUGH EXTRA-MARITAL SEX, A HORNY DEMOCRAT POLITICIAN GOT A BITTEN ON HIS PENIS BY HIS INTERN/SEXTING PARTNER. 

IT GOT INFECTED. HE WENT TO HIS DOCTOR. THE DOCTOR SAID IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AMPUTATED. HE GOT A SECOND OPINION. THAT DOCTOR AGREED: IT WOULD HAVE TO BE AMPUTATED.  

NOT WILLING TO ACCEPT IT, HE WENT TO AN ALTERNATIVE MEDICIE GURU. THE GURU TOLD HIM THAT, "THE DOCTORS WERE WRONG. IT DID NOT HAVE TO BE AMPUTATED. 

IN TWO WEEKS, IT WOULD  FALL OFF BY ITSELF."

SO IT IS WITH OBAMACARE.

IT WILL COLLAPSE ON ITS OWN - AS ALL SOCIALIST PONZI SCHEMES COLLAPSE.

LIKE THE USSR AND DETROIT.

IT MAY VERY WELL NEVER REALLY GET OFF THE GROUND DUE TO ITS OWN RIDICULOUS, TEDIOUS, CUMBERSOME RUBEGOLDBERGIAN COMPLICATIONS.

SO, THE GOP OUGHT TO STAND ASIDE AND JUST WATCH THE INEVITABLE TRAIN WRECK.

AND SAY, "I TOLD YOU SO".

IF THE GOP MESSES WITH OBAMACARE AND IT FAILS, THEN OBAMA AND HIS COMRADES IN THE STATE-RUN MEDIA WILL BLAME THE GOP - AND ENOUGH OF THEIR SUPPORTERS WILL AGREE TO HELP THEM AT THE POLLS.

The mendacity of false hope and Obamacare

Obama is a phony piece of shit, through and through.

Obama has not one single shred of honesty or integrity.

Obama said he would close Gitmo - and it is open.

Obama said he'd fix relations with Russia - and they're worse.

Obama said he'd cut the deficit and the debt - and both are incredibly worse.

Obama said that his healthcare reform would lower costs - and they're going up.

Obama said as a senator that a POTUS had to get Congressional approval before going to war, and now he says the opposite.

And Obama his comrades continue to lie about all of these things - daily.

Obama has spied on reporters.

Obama said he'd be the most transparent president ever - and he's covering up more than Nixon.

Under Obama, the IRS actually persecuted his political opponents - something Nixon never ever had the IRS do. And they are lying about it; and Obama recently gave a White House job  - one that needs no Congressional consent - to one of his key henchman in the IRS scandal Jeff Zeints; this effectively allows Obama to try to prevent him from testifying.

I've really had it up to HERE with Obama.

I truly consider Obama to be an evil piece of shit who cars not one whit about the USA, not any part of it which is not part of the machine that elected him.

Obama favors infanticide. supports al Qaeda in Syria and Libya, has done absofrickinlutely bupkus about the murderers who killed our Ambassador and his aides in Benghazi.

The fact is, that absofricklutely NOTHING is better now than it was in 2008.

Not a damn thing. Not the debt. Not the deficit. Not healthcare costs. Not the global war against islamo-fascism.

The only way I see things improving is if and when Obama is neutered/neutralized by a GOP Senate.

Anything which might prevent that is counter-productive.

That's why I favor passing a CR that funds Obamacare.

We know it's going to be a colossal failure.

If we stop it or slow it, then we can be blamed.

Let it unfold and fail.

And then let's say: "WE TOLD YOU SO!"

And take the Senate and impeach the muthafrickin piece of shit.

Just saying.

MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD MAY SHIFT HQ TO LONDON

Tom Gross has several items worth reading about the middle east, including offensive acts committed by European "diplomats", honor murders of Muslim women, and among them, there's also this eyebrow raiser:

In a move that may lead to renewed violence, an Egyptian court has banned the Muslim Brotherhood and seized all its assets, including those of its political arm, the Freedom and Justice Party. The order is being appealed.

Such a move may drive the Muslim Brotherhood underground and lead to increased acts of terrorism.

The Muslim Brotherhood said it will relocate its headquarters to the British capital, London.

Where some of these underground acts of violence could take place if the British government doesn't balk at their plans for moving shop to the UK. Unfortunately, with the UK government's track record, it could end up happening.

Update: Trending Central appears to have confirmed that the MB are indeed on their way to the blighty (Hat tip: Atlas Shrugs):

Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood has decided to move its media offices to London, following a Cairo court decision to proscribe the Islamist entity’s activities and any subsidiary institution related to it.

The Brotherhood already maintains a London presence through which it was previously running the administrative affairs of the organisation. The London headquarters is a “research centre” headed by Ibrahim Mounir, former member of the Guidance Bureau and former Secretary General of the international organisation of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Now that they're headed there, the environment could become a lot more dangerous indeed.

SIEGE IN KENYA MALL OVER

But the war against Islamofascism is not over yet. From the AFP:

Nairobi — Kenyan troops and rescue workers scoured the wreckage of a Nairobi shopping mall Wednesday for bodies and booby-trapped explosives after a four-day siege by Islamist gunmen left 67 dead and dozens more missing.

Rescuers wore face masks and some soldiers wrapped scarves around their mouths because of an overpowering stench inside the Westgate centre, once the capital's most upmarket mall. A large part of the complex has collapsed after heavy explosions and a fierce fire.

Across Kenya, flags flew at half mast at the start of three days of official mourning.

Somalia's Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab rebels claimed on Twitter that 137 hostages they had seized all died, figures impossible to verify and higher than the number of people officially registered as missing. They also accused Kenyan troops of using "chemical agents" to end the stand-off.

President Uhuru Kenyatta announced an end to the 80-hour bloodbath late Tuesday, with the "immense" loss of 61 civilians and six members of the security forces. Police said the death toll was provisional, with the Kenyan Red Cross listing 63 people as still missing.

Top forensic experts and investigators from Israel, the US and Britain are supporting Kenyan teams, officials said, with many questions remaining over the identity of the attackers, the possible presence of a British woman and American jihadists, and how the cell got such large quantities of weapons and ammunition into the complex.

Indeed, it appears there were Islamofascists born in the US who took part in this horror, and disgustingly enough, CAIR's reaction to that news is "who cares?" The New York Post (via Jihad Watch) says:

WASHINGTON – One of the most prominent and controversial Muslim-American advocacy groups says “who cares” if American jihadists were involved in the murderous terror attack on a shopping mall in Kenya.

“It doesn’t matter who’s involved in it,” Ibrahim Hooper, communications director for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), told The Post.

“Terrorism is terrorism, whether it is Americans involved or anyone from any nation or background. Who cares?” he said.

Kenyan Foreign Minister Amina Mohamed said Monday “two or three Americans” were among the bloodthirsty thugs from the al Qaeda-linked group al-Shabab who attacked the mall, hunting down and killing non-Muslims.

The American jihadists were 18 to 19 years old and of Somali or Arab origin and came from Minnesota and another place in the United States, Mohamed told PBS.

CAIR is a DC-based nonprofit organization that describes itself as a “grassroots civil rights and advocacy group” for Muslim-Americans. The group also has been linked to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.

Contrary to what they say, it matters because it shows they did nothing to prevent Muslims in America from joining up with jihadists abroad, and are unwilling to take any responsibility on their part for failure to promote honesty.

Update: and on a related note, 3 Muslims in New York were charged with collaborating with al-Shabaab (also via Jihad Watch and Atlas Shrugs).

LONDON PRECIPITATES SHARIA FINANCE

Britain's government keeps up its efforts to turn London into a sharia finance central (via Intl. Business Times):

Britain is encouraging banks through a task force to establish sharia-compliant products, aiming to position London as a Western hub for a fast-growing Islamic finance sector that is expected to reach $2.6 trillion by 2017.

Aiming to build on London's status as a leading exporter of financial services, Britain hopes to step up the challenge to Islamic finance centres such as Dubai and Kuala Lumpur.

"We want to be the leading (Islamic) finance sector outside of the Muslim world," deputy mayor of London Edward Lister said in a press conference in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday.

Islamic finance follows religious principles such as bans on interest and gambling, and is playing an increasingly prominent role internationally as often oil and gas-rich investors from Islamic countries put more of their money to work overseas.

That's the dhimmi British government alright. Always making sure to please their most untrustworthy buddies in business.

EGYPTIAN COURT OUTLAWS MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD AGAIN

An Egyptian court's turned the Muslim Brotherhood illegal again like it used to be, only this time, the ruling may ensure they're weaker than before.

This is good, but it remains to be seen if they'll ever get rid of Islamism along with the awful movement of so-called siblings.

WHO IS DAVID CAMERON TO TELL ANYBODY WHAT TO THINK?

After the horrific terrorist attack in Kenya, the British prime minister turned self-appointed apologist:

'Don't represent Islam'

Mr Cameron condemned the attacks, adding "because the situation is ongoing we should prepare ourselves for further bad news".

"These appalling terrorist attacks that take place where the perpetrators claim they do it in the name of a religion - they don't," he said.

"They do it in the name of terror, violence and extremism and their warped view of the world. They don't represent Islam or Muslims in Britain or anywhere else in the world."

What are the odds he's aware of the repulsive verses in the Koran that prove otherwise, and is too much a coward to say?

James Halling at The Commentator asks:

Hold on David. Since when did you become a scholar of Islam?

We've heard this "they're-not-real-Muslims" line many times since 9/11. But since they claim to be doing what they're doing in the name of Islam; since they're Muslims; and since they're obviously prepared to die for their religion, even as they kill others, it's not clear to me why we should listen to the secular-fudgey-quasi-Christian Prime Minister of Britain rather than them concerning their Islamic identity.

Since Cameron didn't provide any verses from the Koran to prove otherwise, nor did he say why he thinks the most vile are worth defending, I don't think he's worth the effort. His lazy apologia is nothing more than a cure for insomnia.

IDF SOLDIER MURDERED IN HEBRON

Besides the murder of a soldier from Bat Yam, there was another murder that took place around Hebron:

A Palestinian sniper shot dead a soldier stationed the Tut Atarek Junction, across from the Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron on Sunday.

The soldier was named as Gavriel Kobi, 20, from Tirat Carmel. He was promoted to St.-Sgt. Maj. upon his death.

The gunman fired at Kobi and another Givati Brigade infantryman positioned to defend the Jewish community, as part of the army’s holiday preparations. The soldiers were positioned near the pharmacy intersection and Beit Hamachpela, defending the road used by Jewish residents of the quarter in Hebron.

“From what we see, the shooting occurred over a long distance,” a senior IDF source said. “At this stage, we have no clear direction as to the identity of the shooter.” [...]

Following the attack, Economy and Trade Minister Naftali Bennett, a member of the security cabinet, wrote in a letter to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and cabinet secretary Avihai Mandelblit that the government must reconsider its plans for releasing Palestinian terrorists.

“Under the auspices of celebrating peace talks, Succot has turned into a holiday of harming IDF soldiers,” Bennett wrote.

The Bayit Yehudi chairman pointed out that Israel’s agreement to release more Palestinian prisoners is conditional on progress in negotiations with the PLO.

“There is no doubt that there have been unfortunate developments since the talks began, which require the government to rethink its path,” he wrote.

“The answer to terror must be a war on the murderers and not dialogue with those who encourage them.”

The IDF has increased its presence in the area, and embarked on a manhunt for the filth who committed the murder. It's odd that only after this tragedy has Netanyahu decided to enable the Jews who bought the Beit Machpela in Hebron to resettle it. While that's a good step in itself (and MK Orit Struk says so too), it should not have to be following tragedies like murders that an approval of a civil right be passed, and avenging the murder itself should be a top priority.

MUSLIM MOTHER AND UNCLE WHO GAVE OFFENSIVE T-SHIRT TO SON CONVICTED FOR INCITEMENT

The Muslim mother and uncle who sent their son/nephew to school in France wearing a t-shirt condoning terrorism have been convicted:

A mother who sent her three-year-old son named Jihad to nursery school wearing a top bearing the words ‘I am a bomb’ has been convicted of justifying terrorism by a court in France.

Beneath the boy’s name on the back of the jumper was written ‘Born on the 11 September’ - the date of the 9/11 terror attacks on New York’s twin towers, the court heard.

Muslim mum Bouchra Bagour, 35, was reported to police by the boy’s outraged teacher last year and charged with justifying a terrorist act.

The boy’s uncle Zeyad Bagour, 29, who gave the boy the offending top, was also charged with the same offence.

The pair were initially cleared by a lower court in the southern French city of Avignon in April.

But they were both found guilty by a court in Nimes today after prosecutors appealed their acquittal.

Thierry Lagneau, the mayor of the southern French town of Sorgues, said when they were first charged: “We fully support charges being brought against them for provoking hatred and terrorism in one of our schools.

“This was an utterly irresponsible act by people who used a child to belittle a terrible crime and promote a violent political belief of her own.”

Exactly. It's basically child exploitation, and they should have their custody revoked.

TEACHERS AT MADRASSA IN DERBY FORCED TO WEAR HIJAB

In the city of Derby in Britain, another horrible result of multiculturalism has sprung up:

Female teachers at a Muslim school are allegedly being made to wear a hijab - even if they do not practise the religion.

Teaching staff claim women are being told to sign new contracts stipulating they must wear the Islamic scarf during lessons.

Several employees at the Al-Madinah School in Derby have complained to their union about the rules.

Some non-Asian staff have been spotted taking off their hijabs as soon as they were out of sight of the school during the lunch hour.

The row over the headwear is one of several complaints made by staff to their unions about the school.

Al-Madinah, which does not recognise unions, is under investigation by the Education Funding Agency for alleged irregularities over its grants.

Nick Raine, regional NUT officer, said he was "very worried" about the school and the education of the 200 children there.

He said: "It's one thing to have a dress code which we can challenge and quite another to build it into a contract."

The new contracts for staff also include rules about not taking non-halal food into the school and not being allowed to wear jewellery.

And to be sure, they're not allowed to wear makeup either. That aside, isn't it interesting that this Muslim school, of all places, doesn't recognize unions. If it were a non-Muslim school, I figure they'd be forced to recognize unions in every way, regardless of whether they uphold selfish beliefs or not, a major problem with unions today.

Even if the teachers' unions come to their aid, they'd do well to quit working at that school and look elsewhere for better employment standards.

DANON IS CORRECT: OSLO ACCORDS SHOULD BE ABOLISHED

The New York Times allowed Danny Danon to run an op-ed where he correctly states that the Oslo accords should be annulled:

JERUSALEM — THIS month marks 20 years since the signing of the first of the Oslo Accords between the State of Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Two decades after Yitzhak Rabin and Yasir Arafat stood on the White House lawn with President Bill Clinton, Israelis and Palestinians are again in the midst of the umpteenth round of negotiations.

Despite these efforts, true peace seems as distant as it did before the secret talks in Oslo were revealed to the world. The government of Israel must admit that we made a mistake and declare that the Oslo process has failed.

Only by officially annulling the Oslo Accords will we have the opportunity to rethink the existing paradigm and hopefully lay the foundations for a more realistic modus vivendi between the Jews and Arabs of this region.

Despite attempts to rewrite recent history by fringe elements, the failure of the Oslo framework cannot be attributed to a lack of will and persistence by Israel. What didn’t we try? We attempted direct negotiations, third-party mediators, public conferences and back-channel talks. We staged withdrawals and unilateral disengagements, established joint Israeli-Palestinian military patrols in Gaza and deployed American-trained security forces in the West Bank. None of this worked.

The P.L.O., and later the Palestinian Authority, never truly accepted that Israel, as the national state and homeland of the Jewish people, was here to stay. No amount of impressive ceremonies, cosmetic changes to the P.L.O. charter and Palestinian doublespeak to Western media outlets about their commitment to peace was able to change this grim fact.

To understand the mind-boggling scope of Oslo’s failure, it is best to look at the statistics. According to the organization B’Tselem, during the first Palestinian intifada in 1987, six years before Mr. Rabin’s attempt to recast the archterrorist Yasir Arafat as a peacemaker, 160 Israelis were murdered in Palestinian terror attacks. In the mid- to late-1990s, as successive Israeli governments negotiated with the Palestinians, and Mr. Arafat and his cronies repeatedly swore they were doing their utmost to end terrorism, 240 Israelis were brutally killed as suicide bombs and other heinous terrorist acts targeting unarmed civilians were unleashed in every corner of our nation.

Things did not get better after Prime Minister Ehud Barak made the Palestinians an offer in 2000 that, judging by his landslide defeat in the election a few months later, was way beyond what most Israelis supported. Between then and September 2010, 1,083 Israelis were murdered by Palestinian terrorists.

The Oslo process did not bring peace; it brought increased bloodshed. We must end this farce by announcing the immediate suspension of the accords.

Not just suspension - cancellation! And a shunning of the PLO entirely. It must be made additionally clear what Arafat truly was, a vile murderer, and that Mahmoud Abbas is the same, and also acknowledge his Holocaust-denial mentality. Those are not the kind of people any sane person should be associating themselves with.

JIHADISTS IN KENYA HOLD SHOPPING MALL HOSTAGE, MURDER DOZENS OF INNOCENTS

The jihad gang of al-Shabaab attacked a shopping mall in Kenya, holding hostages and murdering many people:

A major assault is ongoing against Al Shabaab gunmen in an attempt to end a siege in a shopping centre in Nairobi, Kenyan officials told the AFP news agency.

Up to 15 terrorists remain inside the centre after the attack left 68 people dead, including at least three Britons.

However the death toll could be "much, much higher" a police officer said, after reports from inside of multiple bodies.

The attack began when gunmen from the Islamist Shabaab group burst into the upmarket Westgate shopping centre yesterday afternoon armed with guns and grenades.

Unconfirmed reports suggest women as well as men took part in the attack.

Some of those killed were reportedly executed after failing to recite a Muslim prayer at gunpoint. Others were shot at the entrance to the mall as they tried to escape.

Truly repulsive. It's fortunate to learn that Israeli forces have joined the Kenyan authorities to help defeat the jihadists there. Those terrorists still at large should be put to death for their repellent crimes.

RICO and CAIR: CAIR collects millions from foreign donors thanks to non-profit shell game

From the Daily Caller:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) conceals donations from overseas through a series of shell organizations, according to documents from court actions involving the Muslim advocacy group. 

Since its founding in 1994, CAIR has presented itself to American Muslims and the media as a single organization centered on American concerns. 

But it shows a different face to the IRS, with multiple corporate entities that conceal the large financial donations that come to CAIR from Middle East sources. 

As a registered lobbying group, CAIR is required to report to the IRS contributions over $5,000. Its shifting 501(c)(3) and 501(c)(4) branches, however, make it possible to collect millions of dollars from oil-rich Muslim nations without disclosure. 

Documents show CAIR has received millions of dollars in overseas contributions and tens of millions in pledges from overseas.CAIR’s convoluted structure and funding machinations are dizzying. 

Today, the original Council on American Islamic Relations doesn’t exist at all. In June 2013, CAIR changed its name to the nondescriptly named Washington Trust Foundation, Inc. (WTF). 

“Plentiful legal evidence, acquired in the course of a lawsuit—plus CAIR’s own official filing documents to the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) and IRS—make clear that CAIR has engaged in a thinly-disguised money laundering operation,” David Reaboi, vice president for strategic communications at the Center for Security Policy, told The Daily Caller.

GO READ THE WHOLE THING. 

RICO 

If we ever want to shut down radical Islam in the United States, RICO is the way to do it. The Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO)provides for extended criminal penalties and a civil cause of action for acts performed as part of an ongoing criminal organization.

The RICO Act focuses specifically on racketeering, and it allows the leaders of a syndicate to be tried for the crimes which they ordered others to do or assisted them, closing a perceived loophole that allowed someone who told a man to, for example, murder, to be exempt from the trial because he did not actually commit the crime personally.

Under RICO, a person who is a member of an enterprise that has committed any two of 35 crimes—27 federal crimes and 8 state crimes—within a 10-year period can be charged with racketeering. 

Those found guilty of racketeering can be fined up to $25,000 and sentenced to 20 years in prison per racketeering count.

In addition, the racketeer must forfeit all ill-gotten gains and interest in any business gained through a pattern of "racketeering activity."

RICO also permits a private individual harmed by the actions of such an enterprise to file a civil suit; if successful, the individual can collect treble damages (damages in triple the amount of actual/compensatory damages).

NOW, HERE'S WHERE IT GETS INTERESTING WITH REGARD TO THIS SPECIFIC CAIR SITUATION:

Under the law, the meaning of racketeering activity is set out at 18 U.S.C. § 1961. As currently amended it includes:

• Any violation of state statutes against gambling, murder, kidnapping, extortion, arson, robbery, bribery, dealing in obscene matter, or dealing in a controlled substance or listed chemical (as defined in the Controlled Substances Act);
• Any act of bribery, counterfeiting, theft, embezzlement, fraud, dealing in obscene matter, obstruction of justice, slavery, racketeering, gambling, money laundering, commission of murder-for-hire, and many other offenses covered under the Federal criminal code (Title 18);
• Embezzlement of union funds;
• Bankruptcy fraud or securities fraud;
• Drug trafficking; long-term and elaborate drug networks can also be prosecuted using the Continuing Criminal Enterprise Statute;
• Criminal copyright infringement;
• Money laundering and related offenses;
• Bringing in, aiding or assisting aliens in illegally entering the country (if the action was for financial gain);
• Acts of terrorism.

Pattern of racketeering activity requires at least two acts of racketeering activity, one of which occurred after the effective date of this chapter and the last of which occurred within ten years (excluding any period of imprisonment) after the commission of a prior act of racketeering activity.

LET'S BE CLEAR,

CAIR IS POSSIBLY GUILTY OF MONEY-LAUNDERING

CAIR IS ALSO POSSIBLY GUILTY OF OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE (were they forthright with regards to the Holy Land Foundation Trial, for instance).

CAIR IS ALSO POSSIBLY GUILTY OF TERRORISM.

CAIR HAS SHOWN A REPEATED PATTERN OF HIRING MEN TO SERVE IN AN EXECUTIVE CAPACITY WHO THEN TURN TO TERRORISM.

IS THIS SIMPLY A COINCIDENCE, OR IS IT PART OF A PATTERN OF ORGANIZED CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR WITHIN CAIR?

AND WHERE DOES THE MONEY TO RUN CAIR COME FROM? DONORS FROM OUTSIDE THE U.S.? 

AND WHAT OTHER "CHARITIES" ARE THESE OUTSIDE DONORS PUTTING THEIR MONEY INTO? 

ARE THESE OUTSIDE DONORS, FOR INSTANCE, ALSO DONATING MONEY TO OPEN MOSQUES IN THE UNITED STATES?

ARE THE DONATIONS TO CAIR AND THE DONATIONS TO PLANTS NEW MOSQUES IN THE UNITED STATES ALSO PART OF A PATTERN OF ORGANIZED CRIME?

AND THEN, IF THE PATTERN OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR CAN BE PROVEN THROUGHOUT THE ORGANIZATION OF CAIR AND IT'S "CHARITIES" (TERRORIST CONNECTIONS), AND IT'S FAVORED MOSQUES,

RICO CAN BE USED TO PUT

ALL THOSE MOSQUES, AND "CHARITIES", AND CAIR OFFICES

OUT OF BUSINESS.

BYE BYE.

MORE JEWS GOING TO TEMPLE MOUNT, ANGERING THE NYT

Seriously, it's apparent from the angle of the article that they detest Jewish history:

JERUSALEM — Small groups of Jews are increasingly ascending the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City, a sacred site controlled for centuries by Muslims, who see the visits as a provocation that could undermine the fragile peace talks started this summer.

I guess they're fine with rioting, because they don't mention any threats made by the sickos.

For decades the Israelis drawn to the site were mainly a fringe of hard-core zealots, but now more mainstream Jews are lining up to enter, as a widening group of Israeli politicians and rabbis challenge the longstanding rules constraining Jewish access and conduct. Brides go on their wedding days, synagogue and religious-school groups make regular outings, and many surreptitiously skirt the ban on non-Muslim prayer, like a Russian immigrant who daily recites the morning liturgy in his mind, as he did decades ago in the Soviet Union.

Palestinian leaders say the new activity has created the worst tension in memory around the landmark Al Aksa Mosque and Dome of the Rock, and have called on Muslims to defend the site from “incursions.” A spate of stone-throwing clashes erupted this month: on Wednesday, three Muslims were arrested and an Israeli police officer wounded in the face. And on Friday thousands of Arab citizens of Israel rallied in the north, warning that Al Aksa is in danger.

No, they aren't warning, or else they'd say it's in danger from themselves and their vile egos.

“We reject these religious visits,” Sheik Ekrima Sa’eed Sabri, who oversees Muslim affairs in Jerusalem, said in an interview. “Our duty is to warn,” he added. “If they want to make peace in this region, they should stay away from Al Aksa.”

I think he's got it backwards. And if the NYT wants peace, they'll clear out too.

The 37-acre site is perhaps the most religiously contested place on earth. Jews revere it as the home of the First and Second Temples 2,000 years ago. For Muslims, who call the site the Noble Sanctuary, it is the world’s third holiest spot, from which Muhammad is believed to have ascended to heaven. More than 300,000 foreign tourists also flock there annually, many of them Christians drawn to the ruins of the temple Jesus attended.

Look how they blur history, even with Islam, avoiding the fact that early jihadists and caliphate conquered it from the Jews.

Politically, the competing claims to the area are the nut around which the Israeli-Palestinian conflict revolves, the symbolic heart of each side’s religious and historical attachment to Jerusalem that has made its governance one of the thorniest issues in peace negotiations.

Israel captured the site along with the rest of East Jerusalem and the West Bank in 1967, with a general declaring dramatically, “The Temple Mount is in our hands!” But the government immediately returned control to the Muslim authorities, and ever since, a de facto accommodation has prevailed in which Muslims worship at Al Aksa above and Jews at the Western Wall below, a remnant of the retaining wall around the ancient Second Temple.

I wonder why they don't name said general as Moshe Dayan? Maybe because they don't want anybody to know what a dhimmi he was. A most shameful man who thought returning control to the Waqf would save Israel a lot of trouble, and lo, it didn't.

Here's where it gets a little better:

Over the last few years, a cause long taken up by only a fringe group of far right-wingers has increasingly been embraced by the modern Orthodox — known here as religious Zionists — who have also gained political power. At three recent Parliament hearings, religious lawmakers and cabinet ministers questioned the status quo, in which non-Muslims can enter the site only for a few hours five days a week, and those identified by the police as Jews are separated, escorted by police officers and admonished not to dance, sing, bow down or even move their lips in prayer.

“The Temple Mount is in our hands — but is it really?” asked Michael Freund, a Jerusalem Post columnist who visited the site as a child in 1977 and returned for the first time last year, with 50 members of his synagogue. “It particularly offends me that the Israeli government puts into place restrictions which prevent Jews from fulfilling their basic right to freedom of worship.”

Jack Stroh, a cardiologist from East Brunswick, N.J., who visited on Wednesday, has been bringing friends for five years before the holidays of Sukkot and Passover — two of three pilgrimage festivals when ancient Jews were required to pray at the temples.

“My cousin said that if Jews don’t go up to the mountain there is an increased chance that the government will say Jews are not interested and will give it away,” he said as his group waited to enter. “I’m taking them up. Someone took me up. They’ll take other people up; it’s a growing phenomenon.”

Amid the religious pilgrims on Wednesday was Michal Berdugo, 25, a secular Israeli who said it had been her “dream for three years” to visit. “It’s part of who we are,” she said.

Gee, if she could pay a visit, there must be other "secularists" out there doing the same. Who said this was just a religious fight per se?

Experts who have observed the phenomenon also see it as a reaction to Israel’s evacuation of Jews from the Gaza Strip in 2005, a redirection of Messianic energy once devoted to West Bank settlements that many fear could soon succumb to the same fate to make way for a Palestinian state.

“The war for the land of Israel is not just political, but essentially spiritual,” said Yossi Klein Halevi, author of a new book that traces the lives of paratroopers who seized the Mount in 1967. “Given that the Temple Mount is the focal point of holiness in the Holy Land, the thinking is that we need to go to the source in order to prevent the further partition of the land.”

And it's got something to it. Now, here's where the NYT dips back into the gutter again:

While the numbers remain tiny compared with the 10 million annual visitors to the Western Wall below, Palestinian officials say what used to be a trickle of individuals has given way to groups of 40, 60, 90. They were particularly alarmed that the Israeli police commissioner told a newspaper this month that “every Jew who wishes to pray at the Temple Mount can pray on the Temple Mount,” though his subordinates said afterward that did not change the police policy on the ground preventing non-Muslim prayer. A recent visit by the right-wing housing minister also stirred outrage.

“Before, it was some settlers from here, some extremists from there; now we start to hear it from the real officials,” said Adnan Husseini, the Palestinian governor of Jerusalem. “When they get inside with this big number, it’s sure that they will make some kind of religious activities and there will be more friction between them and the people inside the mosque.”

Oh, how facinating, someone who wasn't democratically elected and has no legal authority is still the "governor" of the east side of this city! And making remarks all without saying he hopes the people inside the al-Aksa mosque won't get stirred up over nothing.

I'm happy about the increased efforts to make it legal for Jews to pray and tour atop the Temple Mount, and MK Miri Regev has also joined the march. The fight must keep on, and those who campaign for Judaism revived on the Mount are doing the right thing.

"SEXUAL JIHAD" IN SYRIA MAKES TUNISIAN GIRLS PREGNANT

A very grimy practice of prostitution is occurring in Syria:

A member of the Free Syrian Army stands guard at a checkpoint they took over early on Monday after clashes with pro-government forces in Salqin city in Idlib October 22, 2012.

A number of girls from Tunisia have become pregnant after traveling to Syria to participate in "sexual jihad," according to Lotfi Bin Jeddo, Tunisia's Interior Minister.

The girls “are (sexually) swapped between 20, 30, and 100 rebels and they come back bearing the fruit of sexual contacts in the name of sexual jihad and we are silent doing nothing and standing idle,” Al Arabiya reported he said during an address to the National Constituent Assembly.

The Telegraph has more:

"After the sexual liaisons they have there in the name of 'jihad al-nikah' - (sexual holy war, in Arabic) - they come home pregnant," Ben Jeddou told the MPs.

He did not elaborate on how many Tunisian women had returned to the country pregnant with the children of jihadist fighters.

Jihad al-nikah, permitting extramarital sexual relations with multiple partners, is considered by some hardline Sunni Muslim Salafists as a legitimate form of holy war.

Jeddo also said his ministry had taken a number of steps to stem the flow of Tunisians travelling to Syria.

Tunisia's former Mufti (the country's highest religious official) warned earlier this year that 13 Tunisian girls "were fooled" into travelling to Syria to offer sexual services for the rebels. He described the practice as a form of “prostitution.”

“For Jihad in Syria, they are now pushing girls to go there. 13 young girls have been sent for sexual jihad. What is this? This is called prostitution. It is moral educational corruption,” Battikh said.

They're also giving sex to men who don't deserve it. But coming from a mufti, the argument against it doesn't carry much weight, and I suspect they encouraged it from the start. A real shame that these jihadists in Syria could end up fathering children they're unqualified to have as a legacy.
