SPIELBERG WAS TARGET OF AN ARAB LEAGUE BOYCOTT

Wikileaks has revealed another thing that isn't too surprising, but is nevertheless disturbing:
Steven Spielberg was blacklisted by the Arab League's Central Boycott Office after making a $1m (£645m) donation to Isreal during the 2006 conflict in Lebanon.

A US embassy memo released by WikiLeaks reveals that during a meeting of the group in April 2007, diplomats or representatives from 14 Arab states voted to ban all films and other products related to Spielberg or his Righteous Persons Foundation.

At the confidential US briefing, the head of the Syrian regional office for the boycott of Israel, Muhammad al-Ajami, said that Algeria, Iraq, Lebanon, Kuwait, Libya, Morocco, the Palestinian Authority, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen had agreed to ban all Spielberg's works.

Malaysia, Iran, Pakistan and Indonesia were also present at the meeting and voted in favour of the boycott. The memo from the US embassy in Damascus to Washington says that "they and other countries will likely implement their own bans" similar to that adopted by the Arab states.

At the same meeting, cosmetics giant Estée Lauder was added to the blacklist while financial services behemoth Merrill Lynch was placed on a "watchlist".
Wow, even after he kowtowed to the Islamic entity with Munich, they still don't care? But if Spielberg is continuing to associate himself with George Soros, who may have bought his Dreamworks SKG production office, not to mention Tony Kushner, whom I will NOT trust to do a good job on their planned Lincoln movie, then I can't feel too sorry for him.

I do know that if I were a showbiz worker, I wouldn't mind too much if they wanted to boycott my works, since I don't endeavor to please such tyrants, though it would still be offensive.

Hello flamers, goodbye Marine Corps

How badly will the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell damage our military? Just read this week's Strategy Page report on our military's suppression of heterosexual behavior in combat theaters ("No Sex Please, We're American Soldiers"). Heterosexuals in the military have always known that their sex lives are liable to be put on hold for long periods of time, but for soldiers off fighting in Muslim countries, the deprivation is extreme. The only outlet is relationships with other soldiers:
Troops are forbidden from establishing relationships with local women in Iraq, and warned against buying booze and drugs from Iraqis. In Iraq, few women cover their faces, or wear any head covering at all. Many of them are quite attractive, and frequently cast admiring glances at U.S. troops (who often do foot patrols in public areas). But there are not supposed to be any marriages. This is a particular problem in Islamic countries, where non-Moslem husbands are expected to convert and elopement often leads to the bride being murdered by her angry family. ...

Troops having sex with each other is generally tolerated, although that can cause trouble as well. Only about ten percent of the troops in combat zones are female, and not all are single or in the mood.
Heterosexual young men are willing to join the military and put their sex lives on hold because the manliness of fighting for their nation makes the lack of access to females bearable. That will change if a subculture of active homosexuality is allowed to burst out and grow amidst the suppressed heterosexuality of our military. Instead of a manly brotherhood, military service will become a chore and even a gauntlet of having to abide whatever in-your-face homosexuality the flamers want to throw up, and they will throw up plenty, as proven by every out-homosexual locale in the world. Flamboyant and even aggressive homosexuality is just what the end of DADT implies. No one is talking about replacing the DADT line with any other line. Full out homosexual flaming will not just be tolerated but will be legally protected, from overt homosexual behavior to every kind of homosexual come on. It will be a death sentence for heterosexual recruiting.


Obama's "Pentagon" study was grossly dishonest


Soldiers were only asked whether having "having an openly gay person in a unit would have an effect in an intense combat situation." They weren't asked about the development of an openly gay subculture, which the end of DADT would create, and they weren't asked about effects on non-combat quality of life, even though life outside of combat is just as important for recruiting. Even so, 40% of marines said out-homosexuality would be a problem, maybe because they are more often assigned to combat theaters where the contrast between suppressed heterosexuality and unleashed homosexuality would be most glaring.

Don't Ask Don't Tell is actually a good solution. It allows homosexuals to serve and only draws the line at their going public with their homosexuality. They have to stay in the closet, which is a pretty mild imposition, compared to the broad harms that out-homosexuality would inflict.


What part of YOU HAVE A MANDATE do our idiot representatives not understand?


With voters handing Democrats in Congress a historic drubbing you would think Republicans would understand that they have a mandate to stop the repudiated Democrats from passing ANY major bills before their lame duck term expires, yet instead of proclaiming their mandate and promising to filibuster DADT, START, DREAM, etcetera, the Republicans are letting one major bill after another waltz down the aisle. They are even logrolling their votes on these Democrat abominations. Here is Republican Senator Bob Corker, telling Democrats to:
...drop plans to repeal a military ban on gays serving openly or risk the fate of a nuclear pact with Russia.
Really? If we don't let the ousted Democrats make one major military policy change we have to let them make another? How about NO MAJOR LEGISLATION until the voters' new representatives are seated? This isn't hard. Just tell soon to be minority witch Nancy Pelosi to go to Hell! Haven't they all been wanting to do that for two years?

MEL GIBSON WON'T RECIEVE FORGIVENESS FROM ME

He may not get the exact same response from me that Joan Rivers gave him to his jaw-crashing bigotry, but after reading Jeff Dunetz's take on the subject, let me just say that, while the Jewish religion does offer the chance for forgiveness, it's clear that Gibson doesn't want it, and I'm not giving it. I will say that he and Jodie Foster make a great combo together: she once said she supported Leni Riefenstahl, and gave a whole bizarre, whitewashed/sugarcoated blabber statement about that filthy nazi-supporter during WW2. Let's hope they both sink down together at the box office.

FEMALE REFUGEES COME TO HOUSTON TO AVOID ASSAULT AND ARRANGED MARRIAGES IN MALI

ABC News (via The Jawa Report and Atlas Shrugs) has a report about women who come to Houston from Muslim-dominated Mali to avoid arranged marriages and worse, circumcision:
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- The choice to fall in love and marry whomever you want is common here in America. But in some countries, marriage rituals include polygamy and violence.

For these reasons, many women are fleeing their home countries and are seeking refuge here in Houston. We have the story of one woman who is fighting to stay here, and we should warn you, the content of this story is graphic and meant only for adults.

The young woman says she needs protection from her own family.

"They want me to do something that I don't want," she said.

She is 24 years old. We can't use her real name, so we'll call her Rachel. She is from Mali, a country in West Africa. Rachel came to Houston two and a half years ago to study at a local university.

Now, her family is calling for her to return because they found her a husband. Rachel received word in a letter of warning from her sister.

"He is over 50 years old and he has already has two wives and a lot of children," the letter read. "Some are older than you, but he is very rich."

Rachel is in Houston on a student visa. When that runs out, she has to return home, where she'll be married. But her forced marriage isn't the only reason she doesn't want to go back.

Rachel, like the majority of women in Mali, must face circumcision before marriage. Her sister's words warn of the horror. [...]

"There are laws in the United States that recognize that we as a society do not tolerate this type of violence," said Anne Chandler, director of the Tahirih Justice Center, a group that protects women and girls from human rights abuses.

"What we're talking about here is very severe forms of violence that are perpetrated against women and girls," Chandler said.

Not everyone who applies is awarded asylum. Lawyers have to prove the applicant's home country or government is unwilling or unable to protect them from harm.

Tahirih only has two offices in the U.S. Houston has one of them. It opened in September 2009.

Volunteer attorneys have helped 125 women and girls locally. Right now, they have 33 active cases, including Rachel's.

"This is a unique model where you find volunteers who are not necessarily asylum or immigration attorneys," said Michelle Gibbons, an attorney with Mayer Brown.
Here's the attorney's site. Just like the case with Rifqa Bary, this too is a very important case where women fleeing from barbarism need protection from harm.

NOF ZION MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO FALL INTO PA HANDS

A neighborhood in Jerusalem is under threat of being sold to a Fatah sympathiser, with the help of one of Ariel Sharon's assistants:
Spirited attempts are being made to prevent the Jewish neighborhood of Nof Zion in Jerusalem from falling into Arab hands.

The Digal Company that built the project, which was slated to be a religious-Zionist neighborhood, has fallen upon hard times, failing to pay its debt of nearly 60 million shekels to bond holders. The latter were made an offer of approximately 50% by a religious-Zionist real estate group known as Be’emunah (With Faith), but this was topped by an offer of approximately 60% - in cash – made by a Palestinian Authority Arab with American citizenship.

The potential Arab buyer is represented by Attorney Dov Weissglass, a former friend and advisor to ex-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon during the Disengagement period.

[...]

Yisrael Ze’ira, founder of both the Rosh Yehudi outreach organization and Be’emunah, says that his group is seeking to raise 48 million shekels with which to purchase the 15 dunams (nearly 4 acres) on which Stages II and III are to be built. “We are short just a few million,” he told Israel National News. “Those who wish to help can visit our website.” The minimum investment is 320,000 shekels (roughly $89,000) - the price, including Value Added Tax, of land for one unit. Those who invest are promised a discount in purchasing the actual apartment.

Another approach, led by Jerusalem lands reclaimer Aryeh King, is to find buyers for a total of 25% of the bonds, thus preventing the necessary majority of 76% from voting to sell the bonds to Weissglass’ Arab client. The bondholders are to convene for the vote in two weeks’ time. Though some feel this attempt could easily be challenged in court, it could buy time for the Be’emunah group to raise the necessary funds to buy the project.

King’s Jerusalem projects are featured here.

Both King and Ze’ira emphasize that the importance of their efforts cannot be overstated, both for the future of Nof Zion and for Jerusalem in its entirety.
Anyone who can offer their help will be doing a great favor for Israel.

BOMBING PAKISTAN'S MADRASSAS: WE CALLED FOR IT IN 2005

HOT AIR TODAY:
WaPo

A religious school near the heart of the country’s tribal areas has for years served as an operational hub for the most lethal adversary of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, the so-called Haqqani network, according to U.S. officials.

Still, the CIA has refrained from hitting the site, U.S. officials said, out of concern that targeting a religious compound might trigger a violent backlash. The U.S. military cannot attack a site inside Pakistan. And U.S. officials said the Pakistani military has failed to clear militants from the school, or madrassa, even though it maintains a fort less than two miles away.

The madrassa on the edge of Miram Shah has emerged as a symbol of the constraints on the U.S. effort in Afghanistan, where the enemy – and the prospects for a clear victory – often seem to lie beyond U.S. forces’ grasp…

“It’s a focal point for Haqqani operations,” said a U.S. intelligence official. Beyond the madrassa’s use for recruitment, training and planning, the official said, “there is a strong likelihood that senior Haqqani leaders meet there on a regular basis.”

TIME TO SHUT OR BOMB THOSE MADRASSAS - just like we did the Afghan terror-training camps
Here's why (as if we really needed ANOTHER reason!):

BBC:
"The uncle of one of the suspected London suicide bombers said his family had been "left shattered" by the news. Bashir Ahmed, 65, said the family of Shehzad Tanweer, who recently studied religion in Pakistan, could not accept he was capable of the bombings. "It wasn't him. It must have been forces behind him," he said. Police are now focusing on finding those who masterminded the suspected suicide attacks that killed at least 52 people in London last Thursday."
Apparently - the uncle wants us to believe - the religious instruction his (previously fine)nephew received in Pakistan (probably at a madrassa) was the reason his nephew became a TERRORIST. Okay. If that is true, then I SAY: If they won't stop teaching and preaching hate and genocide in these madrassas in Pakistan (and everywhere else - including the disputed territories and Saudi Arabia) - and if they don't stop churning out suicidal/genocidal murdering maniacs - then we should bomb the madrassas to smithereens!

It would be a defensive measure - like bombing V2 factories in WW2!


IOW: Jihadist madrassas and mosques : GWOT :: V2 factories : WW2.
WE WERE RIGHT THEN. BEFORE ANYONE ELSE.

IF WE WANT THE WAR TO END, THEN WE MUST BE WILLING TO FIGHT USING THE MEANS NECESSARY TO WIN.

European judges kill off British law that curbed sham marriages | Mail Online


Laws credited with cutting the number of sham marriages by more than 70 per cent were yesterday killed off by European judges because they breach human rights.
The rules, which required some immigrants to apply for a certificate of approval from the Home Office and pay a £295 fee before they could wed, were judged discriminatory and against the right to marry by the European Court of Human Rights.
Judges said they had ‘grave concerns’ about the scheme because many immigrants could not afford the fee.

Then they should not be here if they don't have the money! Where is the law thats says we have to prop up every  foreign beggar with taxpayer's earnings??


And I suppose this was Osama/obama's idea! .See here

Awesome: TSA misses loaded Glock Pistol in Iranian-American's Computer Case!

"ABC News reports that a Houston-based Iranian American businessman left a loaded Glock pistol like the one pictured in his otherwise empty computer case. The case got through security at a Houston airport as his carry-on bag without being found by the geniuses from TSA. And we're told 'it happens all the time' (Hat Tip: Gershon D)."

HOLLAND MAY FOLLOW UP ON BURQA BAN

Geert Wilders is quoted in the National Post as one of those who's told how the Netherlands may introduce their own burqa ban this coming year:
THE HAGUE — The Netherlands could ban the burqa, the full-body covering worn by some Muslim women, as soon as next year, Dutch anti-Islam politician Geert Wilders told Reuters in an interview on Thursday.

Mr. Wilders’ populist Freedom Party is the third largest in parliament and provides crucial support to the minority ruling coalition in exchange for the government taking a tougher line on Islam and immigration from non-Western countries.

His party has grown in popularity largely because of his outspoken criticism of Islam, which he describes as “a violent ideology.”

“There are not too many people who are willing to fight for this cause. It’s a big responsibility. It’s not only a Dutch problem, it’s a problem of the West,” said Wilders.
That's not the only thing they're going to have to do: they also need to harden jail sentences for aggravated assaults, something that many Jews, and even gays/lesbians, in Holland have suffered at the hands of Islamofascists in Holland. And the sooner such laws can be passed, the better for Europe to protect itself against Islamofascism.

2 REASONS OBAMA IS A MORON AND OBAMACARE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND IS TOTALLY UNLIKE CAR INSURANCE

OBAMA RECENTLY RESTATED AN EARLIER BOGUS ARGUMENT FOR OBAMACARE'S MANDATE: THAT WE MANDATE CAR INSURANCE SO WE CAN MANDATE HEALTH INSURANCE.

HERE'S 2 REASONS WHY IT'S BOGUS:
... consider Obama's claim that "when it comes to car insurance, we wouldn't say that you can wait until you get into a car wreck and then you can go to the insurance company, say hey, I want to buy some insurance for my car." -- But that's precisely what he's saying with the Democrats' "pre-existing condition" nonsense. You can walk in to any health insurer, with any condition, and expect coverage.
AND:
... Drivers carry required insurance to cover damage done to others, not themselves.
EIGHT MORE REASONS AT THE LINK!

UPDATE: OBAMA HAS BEEN USING THIS BOGUS ARGUMENT FOR A FEW YEARS:


YOU'D THINK THAT IN THE LAST YEAR OR SO SOMEBODY IN HIS ADMINISTRATION WOULD'VE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THE COMPARISON IS BOGUS.

EITHER HE KNOWS IT'S BOGUS AND IS A LIAR, OR HE IS A FREAKIN' MORON SURROUNDED BY MORONS.

OR BOTH.

I SAY: BOTH!

Apparent Homemade Bombs Are Found in Conn. Home

From the Associated Press: 
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (AP) — Authorities in New Haven, Conn., have found what appear to be homemade bombs and materials to make explosives in a home.

Police Officer Joe Avery says firefighters were called to the home late Wednesday night for reports of smoke. That's when they found the materials.

No injuries have been reported, and Avery says there's no immediate danger.
Avery says it's not clear how many bombs and explosive materials are in the home.

Police and FBI agents are at the scene and authorities are waiting for a judge to approve a search warrant.

PETER SCHWEIZER GETS MISLEADING INFO ON RABBINICAL OPPOSITION TO SELLING LAND TO ARABS

One of the contributors to the Breitbart network, Peter Schweizer, has voiced his disagreement to the news of a number of rabbis who signed a declaration that Jews shouldn't sell property to Arabs in Israel. Here's the problem: the two articles he got about this, are from YnetNews, which so happens to be a left-wing source. And it's really no surprise that they might take this all out of context.

As it so happens, the actual problem here is selling property to Arabs. Renting is another matter. And as told in this INN article (via Cosmic X):
The Rabbis’ Letter forbidding Jews from selling homes in Israel to Arabs has become the latest controversy in Israel. It was placed on hold for a few days while the Carmel fire raged wildly around it, but is now comfortably back on the media’s “hot seat” – and the rabbis are indeed feeling the heat.

Some 300 rabbis have expressed support for the ruling, while several mainstream rabbis have come out prominently against it. What is a bystander to think?

Here’s one opinion: The question is not so much one of technical Jewish Law, but rather this: May Jews help Israel remain Jewish, or not?

It appears that the rabbis who signed on the ruling take very seriously accusations leveled at them in the past of “standing idly by,” “not being proactive,” and “ignoring dangers.” In fulfillment of the Mishnaic teaching, “Where there is no man, try to be a man,” they took bold and seemingly unpopular action to try to stem a tide that threatens to engulf all of us – reporters, modern rabbis, Jews in the Diaspora, and certainly the Jews of Tzfat, Lod, Ramle, the Galilee, Haifa, Arad, Tel Aviv, and all of Israel.

In a word, Israel faces a gerrymandering demographic threat, if you will. Instead of the slowly growing Arab minority to which we have essentially grown accustomed and which basically remains within specific areas, Arabs have now begun moving into specific Jewish areas, rendering many of the areas no longer Jewish.
I suppose there is one flaw in all this issue as to how the rabbis went about this: although the concern about selling to Arabs is fairly legit, maybe the mistake they made was not arguing against selling to Muslims? That's right, are they sure they can't raise an argument like that?

In any case, I'm afraid Schweizer has been misled, and I'd appreciate it if he could kindly correct the info and look for a better news source than Ynet on this issue. I'm not saying INN is any better - indeed, sometimes they're not - but he could do a lot of good by maintaining an awareness that even Israeli media can be ultra-leftist and propagandistic.

DETECTIVE COMICS ANNUAL 12: BATMAN HIRES AN ISLAMIST

I knew it was only going to get worse at DC Comics: in his continuing efforts to form Batman Inc, Bruce Wayne recruits an Algerian Muslim living in France, in Clichy-Sous-Bois, where the Muslim riots grew out of in 2005, over the death of 2 delinquents who electrocuted themselves by stupidly entering a power station, and the blame was laid upon at least 2 policemen who weren't even at fault and didn't even know they were there. How about that, Bruce Wayne goes to France where he hires not a genuine French boy or girl with a real sense of justice, but rather, an "oppressed" minority who adheres to the Religion of Peace. And this is a guy whose very parents were murdered at the hands of a common street thug!

And reading this review, it may be just the beginning of the problems:
Bruce reveals that he's aware of some bizarre assassinations taking place in Paris, and he wants to help. Still dubious, the cop shows Bruce a letter giving clues to the next murder, and Bruce deducts that a Muslim diplomat was the target of the assassin.
Really? Not a cartoonist like Kurt Westergaard or Lars Vilks?

Also, it's funny how someone who recruited an indigenous Japanese combatant for his operation can't do the same in France. Surely Saint-Flour in Brittany might have a couple of brave folks who could step up to plate? Now that this has happened, one can only wonder if Bruce Wayne will go next to the Gaza Strip and recruit a Muslim who thinks him/herself oppressed not by the Hamas, but by the Israelis, and even to Sweden, where he'll recruit a Muslim living in Malmö, which has long had troubles of its own with suburban jihadists.

When this was brought up on the Dixonverse forum, someone asked:
Does he bring justice to the Parisian streets by lighting dozens of evil automobiles on fire every night?
Here's an even more intriguing question: Does he condone or blandly tolerate some of the most horrifying verses in the Koran/Hadith like Sura 8:12? Or, more precisely, does the writer?

Thank goodness the JLA/99 special was a fiasco. We can only hope the same will be for this pretentious story. It certainly puts the lie to the whole notion that DC is "conservative". And it tells that they are really going downhill. I'm guessing that the writer, David Hine, is taking out his leftist anger on France for finally taking steps to fight back against creeping shariah and Islamic supremacism, by banning the niqab for starters.

Update: Bosch Fawstin had a special response to this kowtowing on News Real Blog a few months earlier.

JEW-HATRED IS WHAT FORMED NAZI-ISLAMIC ALLIANCE

The Jerusalem Post reports that a new report has come out from the US National Archives on the horrific alliance between the nazis and the mufti:
NEW YORK – A newly released report by the US National Archives details the close collaborative relationship between Nazi leaders and the grand mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, indicating that Nazi authorities planned to use Husseini as their leader after their conquest of Palestine.

Husseini was paid handsomely by the Nazis for his efforts, recruited Muslims for the SS and was promised that he would be made Palestine’s leader after its Jewish population of 350,000 had been murdered.

The report, Hitler’s Shadow: Nazi War Criminals, US Intelligence and the Cold War, was prepared on the basis of thousands of documents declassified under the 1998 Nazi War Crimes Disclosure Act.

“Hitler’s Shadow” is an addendum to a 2004 US government report, US Intelligence and the Nazis.

The new report’s authors, Norman J.W. Goda of the University of Florida and Richard Breitman of American University, said the addendum was particularly important.

“We thought the information was significant and detailed,” Breitman told The Jerusalem Post regarding the newly uncovered facts on the Jerusalem mufti in particular.

“We thought the April 1945 contract between the [German] Foreign Office and Husseini was striking evidence of an ideological collaboration both sides hoped would continue after the war.”

Husseini, who died in Beirut in 1974, was apparently paid 50,000 marks per month, and 80,000 additional marks a month for living expenses, according to a contract with the Germans. This was a time when a German field officer typically earned 25,000 marks a year.

According to the report, on November 28, 1941, Adolf Hitler told Husseini that the Afrika Korps would “liberate” Arabs in the Middle East and that “Germany’s only objective there would be the destruction of the Jews.”

“SS leaders and Husseini both claimed that Nazism and Islam had common values as well as common enemies – above all, the Jews,” the report states.

In fall 1943, it says, Husseini went to the Croatia, a German ally, to recruit Muslims for the Waffen-SS.

“During that trip he told the troops of the newly formed Bosnian-Muslim 13th Mountain Waffen-SS division that the entire Muslim world ought to follow their example,” the report states.

Husseini also organized a 1944 mission in which Palestine Arabs and Germans would carry out sabotage and propaganda after German planes dropped them into Palestine by parachute.

“Husseini insisted that the Arabs take command after they landed and direct their fight against the Jews of Palestine, not the British authorities,” according to the report.

As late as 1945, the German Foreign Office rewrote its contracts with Husseini.

At that point, the outcome of the war was no longer in question, and therefore the contracts are significant as indications of Nazi intentions to work with the mufti in future political-ideological campaigns in Arab lands.

In October 1945, the report said, the British head of Mandatory Palestine’s Criminal Investigation Division told the US assistant military attaché in Cairo that the mufti might be able to unite Palestine’s Arabs and “cool off the Zionists. Of course, we can’t do it, but it might not be such a damn bad idea at that.”

Husseini’s CIA file, the report states, indicates that wartime Allied intelligence organizations gathered a “healthy portion” of the incriminating evidence against him.

This evidence “is significant in light of Husseini’s lenient postwar treatment,” the report notes. Husseini was allowed to flee to Syria after the war despite enough evidence to bring him to trial as a war criminal.

“Together, the Army and CIA records will keep scholars of World War II and the Cold War busy for many years,” the report’s authors conclude.
Challenging question: will this ever be taught in public schools in America?

GERMANY BECOMES FIRST WESTERN NATION TO GO AFTER JIHADISTS ON A SEDITION CHARGE

I haven't seen the word "Sedition" used yet, but that is, essentially, what they are proclaiming.

From IBA:
German authorities on Tuesday mounted raids against two Islamist groups suspected of seeking to overthrow the government and establish a religious state, the Interior Ministry said.
The searches targeted homes and religious schools linked to Salafist jihadist group Invitation to Paradise (EZP) in the northwestern cities of Braunschweig and Mönchengladbach, and the Islamic Cultural Center Bremen (IKZB) in northern German port.

"The EZP and the IKZB are accused of opposing the constitutional order with the aim of replacing it in Germany with an Islamic religious state," the ministry said in a statement.

The raids were part of a long-running investigation against the groups and had no link to warnings of potential impending terrorist attacks issued last month by Interior Minister Thomas de Maizière, it added.

The groups reject parliamentary democracy and believe that Islamic law should replace the constitution, the ministry said.

"In a well-fortified democracy it is advisable and necessary not to wait for jihad in the form of an armed struggle before taking action against anti-constitutional groups," the ministry said.

The raids will show whether or not government suspicions about the groups can be confirmed, it added.

A security official told news agency the Associated Press that officials had searched dozens of private homes, religious schools, a small publisher, and a store owned by EZP that sells traditional caftans and veils.
This is the correct course of action. It is about time a Western government attacks Islam for what it is; an attempt to overthrow our Republics and replace them with another form of Government.


Sharia law is the Constitution of the State of Saudi Arabia, the home of Mecca, and the center of the Islamic world.


Sharia law is the law of the land in multiple Muslim nations.


Every Muslim nation in the world has major political parties dedicated to establishing Sharia as the law of the land.


Sharia, with it's punishment of death for "Apostates" (people exercising their Freedom of Conscience) is absolutely incompatible with the Western Tradition, with normative Western Human Rights, and with the laws of the land of all Western nations.

Conclusion: SHARIA IS SEDITION.


Germany gets it right.


When will the United States wake up from it's slumber?

MORE PROOF PEACE TALKS WITH SO-CALLED PALESTINIANS ARE A WASTE OF TIME --- UNTIL WE GET REGIME CHANGE IN TEHRAN

HAARETZ: Hamas leader in Gaza vows group will never recognize Israel
At rally marking 23 years since founding of Hamas, Ismail Haniyeh says 'Hamas will be the faithful guard of the Palestinian people's rights and the basic Palestinian principles.'

Hamas will never recognize Israel, Gaza leader Ismail Haniyeh said Tuesday at a rally to mark the 23rd anniversary of the militant group's founding.

"We say it with confidence as we said it five years ago when we formed our government, and we say it today: We will never recognize Israel," Haniyeh told a crowd in Gaza City numbering tens of thousands.

A poster at the rally featured photographs of Hamas leaders assassinated by Israel in the last 10 years.

"Hamas will be the faithful guard of the Palestinian people's rights and the basic Palestinian principles," Haniyeh continued.

"We say today that there will be no occupation of the land of Palestine and then we can say there is no future for the occupation on our land. I mean from the sea to the river and from Rafah up to Naqoora."

The rally featured a scale model of Jerusalem's al-Aqsa Mosque under a slogan proclaiming that "We Remain Committed to the Covenant."
AS LONG AS HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND SYRIA AND IRAN REFUSE TO ACCEPT ISRAEL, THERE CAN BE NO PEACE.

REPEAT: AS LONG AS HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND SYRIA AND IRAN REFUSE TO ACCEPT ISRAEL, THERE CAN BE NO PEACE.

AND BECAUSE SYRIA AND HIZBALLAH AND HAMAS DEPEND ON IRAN'S TYRANTS, THE ROAD TO PEACE GOES THROUGH TEHRAN.

HAMAS AND HIZBALLAH AND SYRIA WILL NOT MAKE PEACE UNTIL THEIR BENEFACTOR IS NEUTERED.

SADLY, BY PUTTING MORE PRESSURE ON ISRAEL THAN ON IRAN, OBAMA HAS REVEALED HIMSELF TO BE THE MAJOR OBSTACLE TO PEACE.

THE MOST RECENT WIKILEAKS PROVE THAT THE HOUSE OF SAUD PLEADED WITH OBAMA TO ERADICATE THE IRANIAN MENACE, BUT OBAMA CHOSE INSTEAD TO PRESSURE ISRAEL AND APPEASE FATAH.

THEREFORE, TO NEUTER IRAN AND GAIN PEACE, WE MUST FIRST GET RID OF OBAMA.

I PRAY WE CAN HOLD ON UNTIL 2012... SIGH...

German cops raid Salafist networks suspected of seeking the imposition of an Islamic state

Raid on Islamic Groups in Germany
BERLIN — The German Interior Ministry ordered simultaneous raids in three states on Tuesday against what it called Salafist networks suspected of seeking the imposition of an Islamic state. The action signaled growing concern over the radical messages of some Islamic groups.

The raids, in Bremen, Lower Saxony and North Rhine Westphalia, were not linked to a recent terror alert reportedly inspired by phone calls from a man who said he wanted to quit working with terrorists and who warned of a pending Mumbai-style attack, the Interior Ministry said.

The ministry statement said the raids were directed at two groups — Invitation to Paradise in the cities of Brunswick and Mönchengladbach and the Islamic Culture Center of Bremen on the North Sea coast. The two groups work closely together and share the same ideology, according to a security official quoted by The Associated Press. The authorities are seeking to outlaw both groups.

The statement said the groups were suspected of opposing constitutional order by seeking to “overthrow it in favor of an Islamic theocracy.” There was no indication that any arrests were made.
I have long blogged that those who advocate sharia are guilty of treason and sedition and should be deported or jailed. These types of police actions should be routine in all democracies worldwide.

Salafism - by any name - is incompatible with the Free World.

IT SHOULD BE EXPELLED FROM OUR MIDST!

OBAMACARE AND SCOTUS

Obamacare is the centerpiece of the leftists attempt to turn the USA into a euro-socialist state - with an overblown welfare system and a weak defense.

It's clear now that it will end up in the SCOTUS.

As it stands now, the Court would probably throw it out.

Unless Obama gets another pick.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm... Therefore, I would not be surprised if a conservative Justice shows up dead in the coming months - under "mysterious" circumstances.

OUR LEFTIST-PERVADED EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM

A musical presentation satirizing the tripe our children are being taught (found at Conservative Hideout 2.0):

STOCKHOLM BOMBER: Who Stopped The Evil When Säpo Failed?

As details emerge about the Stockholm Bombers' identity, connnections, and evil intentions it seems more and more clear that the perpetrator should have been on the radar of both British and Swedish anti-terror units: He was thrown out of his mosque in Lutton for being too radical; he had been traveling to the mideast; and he even revealed his mindset on his facebook profile. Taimour abdulwahab al abdaly - armed with a car bomb, and 6 pipe bombs - hoped to kill and maim scores of innocents. It is not even clear that he intended to be a martyr. But witnesses have described that shortly after the car exploded Taimour dropped something, and bent over to pick it up - shortly thereafter one of his devices detonated prematurely. Just as in the case of the Copenhagen Bomber the divine protector has hindered the murder of innocents. Will the islamofacistjihadists ever get it?
Christmas shoppers are unaffected.

HENRY KISSINGER MADE OBSCENE REMARK ABOUT PLIGHT OF SOVIET JEWRY

Some new tapes of Richard Nixon's discussions have been released from the archives, and while Nixon certainly has guilt on his part, Henry Kissinger marks himself as the most repugnant (Hat tip: Simply Jews):
WASHINGTON – Henry Kissinger is heard saying the genocide of Soviet Jews would not be an American problem on newly released tapes chronicling President Nixon’s obsession with disparaging Jews and other minorities.

Kissinger’s remarks come after a meeting between the two men and former prime minister Golda Meir on March 1, 1973, in which Meir pleads for US pressure on the Soviet Union to release its Jews.

The men dismiss her plea after Meir leaves.

“The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not an objective of American foreign policy,” The New York Times on Saturday quoted Kissinger, then secretary of state, as saying on the tapes. “And if they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a humanitarian concern.”

Nixon replies: “I know. We can’t blow up the world because of it.”

Six months later, during the Yom Kippur War, Nixon rejected Kissinger’s advice to delay an arms airlift to Israel as a means of setting the stage for an Egypt confident enough to pursue peace; Nixon, among other reasons, cited Israel’s urgent need.

Nixon secretly recorded his White House conversations.
Granted, Nixon did act wisely and saw to it that Israel would get the ammo it needed during the war. Yet that does not excuse the ignorance he sadly showed for the plight of Russian Jews stuck under communist rule. Kissinger definitely makes himself worthy of scorn for making such a gross statement.

From this article:
The shocking statements contradict an image among some American Jews that Nixon was a friend of Israel and the Jews.

Nixon also is quoted as saying an anti-Semitic generalization, “What it is, is it's the insecurity. It’s the latent insecurity. Most Jewish people are insecure. And that's why they have to prove things."[...]

The American Jewish Committee stated that the revealed conversations displayed a shocking level of bigotry in the Nixon White House from the President downwards… the AJC was also dismayed by the remark made to the President by his Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, in which the latter stated, ‘[I]f they put Jews into gas chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern.’

"The Nixon Oval Office was clearly a place where bigotry and prejudice were normalized," said AJC Executive Director David Harris. "It is deeply saddening to observe that the person elected to our nation's highest office employed such crude, vicious stereotypes in referring to a range of groups.

"That a German Jew [Kissinger] who fled the Nazis could speak of a genocidal outcome in such callous tones is truly chilling. Perhaps Kissinger felt that, as a Jew, he had to go the extra mile to prove to the President that there was no question as to where his loyalties lay. That he used such graphic language in doing so speaks volumes about the degree of prejudice inside Nixon's Administration. It's hard to find the right words to express the degree of our shock and revulsion at Kissinger's remarks."
Maybe this is why Nixon went down via Watergate a year later. Kissinger, tragically, was still around. And even Nixon hadn't been so nasty and double-standard towards Jews, I would still be very offended by his vicious remarks about blacks, Italians and Irish, not to mention his position that there's something wrong with mixed-race children. If it's a case involving rape, that's one thing, but acting as though interracial affairs and births are bad, regardless of whether they're consensual or not, is crossing the line.

Kissinger has written himself down in history as one of the most atrocious, traitorous beings on the earth, possibly after George Soros. A most truly awful politician, and I do think we should certainly be angry that Nixon would ever employ this man, regardless of whether he agreed or not with the abominable things he said.

AMERICAN POWER:

Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly, Stockholm Suicide Bomber, Was Living in Britain

At London's Telegraph:
An Islamic suicide bomber who attacked Christmas shoppers in Sweden at the weekend is a British university graduate and was living in this country until two weeks ago.

Taimur Abdulwahab al-Abdaly tried to set off a car bomb packed with gas canisters in a busy shopping street in Stockholm. The car caught fire and the bomber fled the scene before blowing himself up 300yd away 15 minutes later, injuring two bystanders.

It emerged last night that Abdulwahab, who was due to turn 29 yesterday, is a former physical therapy student at Bedfordshire University in Luton, and that his wife and three young children still live in the town.
LUTON... ISN'T THAT WHERE THOSE 7/7 BOMBERS CAME FROM? WIKI:
On the day of the attacks, all four had travelled to Luton in Bedfordshire by car, then to London by train. They were recorded on CCTV arriving at King's Cross station at about 08:30 a.m. On 12 July, the BBC reported that Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke, Metropolitan Police counter-terrorism chief, had said that property belonging to one of the bombers had been found at both the Aldgate and Edgware Road blasts.
I BETCHYA THERE'S A LOCAL NEXUS BETWEEN THE 7/7 ISLAMIST SCUM AND THIS SWEDISH PERP. AND IT'S MORE THAN ISLAM, TOO. I BETHCYA SOME IMAM'S CONNECT THEM.

BOTTOM-LINE:

BRITAIN HAS A BIG ISLAMIST PROBLEM AND THEY'D BETTER CLEAN IT UP. EUROPE'S SECURITY NOW DEPENDS UPON IT.

TOO BAD BRIT PM DAVID CAMERON IS SUCH A WEAK APPEASING NAMBY-PAMBY CENTRIST.

THEY NEED A GEERT WILDERS OVER THERE.

WHAT WILL IT TAKE FOR THE BRITS TO GET ONE!?

A HORRIFYING ATTACK, I'M AFRAID.

SIGH...

MORE GRAMSCIAN CRAP FROM THE NYTIMES

THE NYTIMES USES MORE INK PROMOTING LGBT STUFF THAN ANYTHING ELSE - AS IF IT WAS A MAJOR CRISIS IN THE USA AND THE WORLD. THEY MUST THINK IT'S EVEN A BIGGER ISSUE THAN THE IDIOTIC/PHONY AGW CRISIS OR OBAMA'S OBVIOUS INCOMPETENCE.

THE EDITORS AT THE NYTIMES ARE IN SUCH A LEFT-WING COCOON THAT THEY DON'T REALIZE THAT APART FROM MAJOR CITIES IN BLUE STATES - AND ATALANTA - LGBT ISSUES ARE JUST NOT ON AMERICA'S FRONT-BURNER.

BUT DON'T TELL THAT TO THE ELITIST EDITORS AT THE NYTIMES: THAT'S WHY IT'S POSTMODERN LEFTISM AT IT'S MOST INSANE.

THE NATION MIGHT BE ON THE VERGE OF A DOUBLE-DIP DUE TO OBAMA'S POLITICAL INCOMPETENCE, BUT APPARENTLY THE NYTIMES EDITORS THINK THAT'S NOT A BIG DEAL.

EVEN FRANK RICH DEVOTED A COLUMN TO HOMOSEXUALITY TODAY.

NO WONDER FEWER AND FEWER PEOPLE READ THE TIMES.

WIKILEAKS IS ANTI-DEMOCRATIC: THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS HOT AIR AND THE TELEGRAPH BY 11 DAYS

HOT AIR LINKED TO THE TELEGRAPH TODAY:
Janet Daley

What is it precisely that the ideologues of the great information revolution are arguing? That no one has a right to confidentiality in any sphere of public life – apart from WikiLeaks’ staff, of course, and their internet comrades in the Anonymous network who wreak vengeance on any website that threatens WikiLeaks’ power?

What about the lawyer-client relationship, which has privileged confidentiality in the eyes of the law?

It might be of considerable public interest to see the correspondence between defendants and their lawyers in terrorist trials, for example.

Would WikiLeaks publish such material if it got its hands on it?

For that matter, would it be willing, as a matter of public interest, to publish all the communications between Julian Assange and his lawyer?

WE POSTED THIS SAME SENTIMENT 11 DAYS BEFORE THE TELEGRAPH ON DECEMBER 3:
WHO SHOULD DECIDE WHAT IS RIGHTLY A CLASSIFIED NATIONAL SECRET, OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS, OR UNELECTED LEFTISTS WHO HATE AMERICA?
People who think Assange and WIKILEAKS did the right thing are either insane or merely anti-American/anti-West.

And what Assange did is no different than what the NYTIMES did several times during the Bush Administration.

These UNELECTED left-wing elitists think so highly of themselves and disdain democracy so much that they usurp the power we the people cede to our elected leaders. They are truly FASCISTS.

... AND ANOTHER THING:

all those leftists who got their pink panties in a knot over the Plame Affair - which involved ONE retired non-covert agent - have said bupkus about the HUMONGOUS WIKILEAKS.

Which proves - once again - that their "outrage" in the Plame Affair was phony, or at least PURELY PARTISAN and had NOTHING TO DO WITH NATIONAL SECURITY.
WE SCOOP ALL THE BIGGIES ALL THE TIME.

SPREAD THE WORD.

IRAN EXPECTS TO BE BE PREEMPTIVELY ATTACKED - AND HAS PREPARED IT'S COUNTER-ATTACK AGAINST THE USA

Iran expects - and even maybe wants - (due to their desire to bring on Armageddon and the appearance of 12th Imam) - to be preemptively attacked.

They are planning not only to decimate the Gulf region's oil facilities and have their stooges in Hamas attack Israel with rockets and Hizballah (with the help of Syria) with missiles that can now blanket Israel with destruction, but have also - alone --- and with the help of Russia ---- have Venezuela attack the USA with Missiles.

Further proof of this plan came today: "Venezuela acquires 1,800 antiaircraft missiles from Russia"

Chavez has no need of 1000 AAM's to protect himself from Colombia; these are to protect himself from the inevitable counter-attack by the USA on Venezuela for launching missiles against the USA on behalf of Iran.

[ASIDE: SPECULATION ALERT:

I feel that Pakistan may even use these catastrophic events to preemptively attack India.

If this sounds like it will all lead to WW5 and nuclear Armageddon it's because that's what Iran wants. Iran and North Korea - and even China.

With 1.5 billion people, China has more to gain than any other nation on Earth.

IOW: CUI BONO WW5?

China.

I therefore feel that the Chinese connection to Pakistan's nuke program and to North Korea's and Iran's - and to global jihad - may therefore be VERY great.

China - and not Iran or the ISI or the House of Saud - may actually be the kingpin in the Axis of Evil.]

I DON'T FAVOR A BAN ON EXPLICIT SEX IN MEDIA - JUST ON BROADCAST MEDIA.

I AM ARGUING THAT EXPLICIT SEX IS INAPPROPRIATE IN PUBLICLY ACCESSIBLE MEDIA AND A CRASS/CHEAP/EASY WAY TO BOOST RATINGS/INTEREST/EXPOSURE/PRESS AND ESCAPE THE MASS MEDIA CLUTTER.

AND THAT THE BEST WAY - BOTH COMMERCIALLY AND CULTURALLY - IS TO PRODUCE SHOWS (FICTIVE OR NOT) THAT REINFORCE POSITIVE VALUES WHICH HELP US SURMOUNT THE STRUGGLES WE ALL FACE OUR LIVES.

AND THAT THIS CAN BE DONE WITHOUT SEXUALLY EXPLICIT OR EXPLOITATIVE GIMMICKRY.
