IRANIANS ARE STILL CHANTING "DEATH TO AMERICA"

Even after their latest head honcho's so-called outreach at the UN, there's still a lot of anti-Americanism running rampant back in Iran:

TEHRAN, Iran — Iranians chanted “Death to America” and burned the U.S. flag after weekly prayers in Tehran on Friday despite their new president’s outreach to the West and promises of moderation and easing of tensions with the outside world.

The chants, customary after Friday services in the Iranian capital, reflect the challenges facing President Hassan Rouhani as he tries to build on the groundbreaking exchanges with Washington that included a telephone chat last week with President Barack Obama — a gesture aimed at ending three decades of estrangement between the two countries.

What groundbreak? The man's a taqqiya specialist, and is still building nuclears, so the AP Wire is doing nothing more than paying lip service to a tyrant. How pathetic.

Update: even the White House press secretary Jen Psaki admits that Iran still has their nuclear plans in place. And John Bolton wrote about how Hassan Rouhani is playing Obama.

BIZARRE SHOOTOUT AT WHITE HOUSE?

Who knows what prompted Miriam Carey, with a child passenger, to try to drive into the White House and subsequently lead police on a chase with deadly consequences for herself?  Was she just deranged? Was she a terrorist probing security during the government shutdown?  Or was she the Presidents lover? Is the child President Obama's Lovechild?  We may never know...

MORE ABOUT WHAT THE AL-MADINAH MADRASSA IN DERBY IS LIKE

In an update for this earlier report about the madrassa in Derby, Soeren Kern at Gatestone Institute has more insight:

Girls as young as four are required to sit at the back of the classroom, behind the boys, regardless of whether they can properly see the chalkboard. Girls must also wait for all the boys to get their lunches before they can eat.

When teaching children the alphabet, staff are prohibited from associating the letter 'P' with the word "pig." Female staff are banned from wearing jewelry and are instructed to avoid shaking hands with male teachers to prevent "insult." Naturally, all non-halal food is outlawed at the school.

The revelations about the un-British goings-on at the Al-Madinah School -- some staffers have compared the working conditions at the school to "being in Pakistan" -- are fueling outrage over what some are describing as underhanded attempts to establish a parallel Islamic education system in Britain.

Critics say the school -- which originally marketed itself as an "inter-faith" school in order to qualify for taxpayer monies -- promised that at least 50% of its students would be non-Muslim. Now that it has obtained £1.4 million (€1.7 million; $2.25 million) in government financing, however, the administrators of Al-Madinah are switching gears by operating the school according to Islamic law, apparently to ensure that the school will be 100% Muslim.

So what have we here but pure abuse of the public's tax pounds. And it's not just Haredis who demand that women sit in the back of a bus. Here, it's a case of Muslim girl students being ordered to sit at the back of a class, and even prevented from getting their lunch before the boys do. Truly awful.

PERVERTS TRIED TO PROFIT FROM LETTER WRITTEN BY NIDAL HASAN

A disgusting scandal involving a letter written by the Ft. Hood jihadist came up:

Sparked by the recent online sale of a letter signed by Fort Hood, Texas, shooter Nidal Hasan, a U.S. senator from Texas has proposed a law against selling items linked to famous killers, dubbed “murderabilia.”

A prison letter from Hasan to a criminology student recently sold for $2,000 on darkvomit.com, a self-described gallery of macabre and outsider art.

Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced a bill Sept. 19 to block high-profile criminals from profiting from the sale of artwork, letters and other memorabilia by serial killers, mass murderers and others convicted of heinous crimes.

“Every day, the family members of victims are forced to re-live their tragedies as prisoners attempt to make a profit off of the notoriety of their case by selling these items on gruesome web sites,” Cornyn said in a statement.

The idea of Cornyn’s bill is to stop a criminal from being able to mail an item with the intention that someone, somewhere makes a profit — not necessarily just the prisoner himself, the Austin American-Statesman reported.

What kind of crackpot would dare to make blood money off of an abomination written by a murderer? Such items are for criminology research, not for profiteering. It's bad enough that the government turned its back on Hasan's victims. We don't need felons making money selling to other people who could be very vicious in turn.

Update: in related disgusting news, it turns out that Hasan gave his wages away to "charity":

Nidal Hasan collected nearly $300,000 in his military salary while awaiting trial for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, but his attorney said nearly all of it has been given to charity — likely making it impossible for his victims to get any of it.

An Army spokesman said the military can’t get back the money because Hasan, like any other service member charged with a crime, continued to receive his military salary until he was convicted last month.

“The great bulk of his income has been donated to charity,” said John Galligan, Hasan’s civil attorney. Galligan wouldn’t disclose any information about the charities or proof that donations had been made. “There’s really virtually no money in any bank that I’m aware of,” Galligan said. “There’s really no property holdings.”

[...] Reed Rubinstein, an attorney helping victims sue the government, said he was exploring ways to get any money or assets he could out of Hasan. But he acknowledged that those efforts might not succeed.

“We have no way of knowing what he did with that money,” Rubinstein said. “It’s quite possible and likely that the money is long gone.”

I wouldn't be surprised if it went to Islamic institutions, who don't deserve it. This illustrated perfectly how vile a creature Hasan really is.

CHANGES IN AMERICAN JEWRY THAT AREN'T FOR THE BETTER

According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, 1 in 5 Jews in America say they no longer feel any attachment to the similarly named religion. But the most galling part comes at the end of this article:

Perhaps the most important discovery lies in a little detail about how Jews see themselves. The following data point reveals just how far Jews have come in the U.S., not only in terms of their own position, but in terms of their ability to think critically and compassionately about other minorities: “Jews think several other minority groups face more discrimination than they do.” More than 70 percent of respondents said gays and lesbians face a lot of discrimination in American society, and an equal number recognized that Muslims are also discriminated against. But fewer than half—only 43 percent—said they believe Jews face a lot of discrimination.

They may have left religion, but not their leftist politics. I have a hunch that, if this polling has any meat to it, they would never even dare suggest Muslims would discriminate against gays and lesbians.

The poll says that Orthodox Judaism could be growing in the USA. Unfortunately, this poll overlooks something that, as any realist would admit, is not good news: the "Orthodox" they speak of could very easily include Haredis like Satmar, Bobov, Skver, and even, worst of all, Neturei Karta. If there's anybody allegedly Orthodox who could be especially negative towards Israel, it's them. Why, they could even be the exact reason why anybody left the Orthodox stream, as their isolationist, negative-to-women/abuse victims approach can make abundantly clear. After reading about what some former members went through, I can't blame most defects for becoming disillusioned with Judaism. Even non-Haredi Orthodox aren't saints and have made terrible mistakes that could rightly or wrongly discourage people from religion. They have a chance to change that, and they'd be advised to do so ASAP.

An interesting find in the polling also says that:

According to the Pew results, among those who define themselves as Jews by religion, just over half consider Jewish identity “a matter of ancestry and culture,” with a majority considering belief in God to be unnecessary to be considered a Jew. Belief in Jesus as the messiah, however, still constitutes a disqualification for being described as Jewish for most respondents.

Among those polled as a whole, 62% said “being Jewish is mainly a matter of ancestry and culture,” as opposed to only 15% who considered it a “matter of religion.”

If this means they feel their race should come first and their religion second, that's actually a worthy way of viewing things. Personally, even I've pondered that a sufficient distinction is needed even on matters of being of the Jewish race and its founding religion.

Unfortunately, going back to an earlier point, some of the pollees have a very poor grasp of reality:

Seven in 10 Jews said they considered themselves either very or somewhat attached to Israel, and over 40% of Jews surveyed stated that they had visited the Jewish state.

However, just under 40% consider Israel to be making “sincere” efforts in making peace with the Palestinian Authority.

Not the other way around? In that case, I'm almost wondering if I should really care about people who think Islamofascists are even remotely worth concern.

And again, based on what I've stated above, for anyone who considers Orthodoxy the most recommended sect, is this good news that it could be growing in the USA? The sad answer is "no". The Satmar, to name but some, are giving Judaism/Orthodoxy a bad name, abusing tax dollars and villifying victims of child abuse, proving to be potentially worse than the Reform. It's kind of ironic that the Satmar may not like the company of the Reform and vice-versa, because their opinions on Israel coincide. I suppose that's the only good part of all this, that their dislike for each other's MOs might be what keeps them from collaborating in their efforts to delegitimize Israel. Then again, it would surely be naive to think they couldn't.

TROY BROWNFIELD APOLOGIZES FOR OBAMA'S TALKING TO IRANIAN PRESIDENT

Brownfield, a comics writer whose works include Zenescope's Grimm Fairy Tales and used to write for Newsarama and the now defunct Shotgun Reviews, said:

Some people angry Obama spoke to the Iranian president. It's 34 years since Hostage Crisis began. Ford visited Japan 33 after Pearl Harbor.
— Troy Brownfield (@TroyBrownfield) September 27, 2013

I don't seem to recall Iran's leaders and Muslim fundamentalists ever apologizing for the disaster they caused, and even an Iranian filmmaker named Banafsheh Zand-Bonazzi has said that current autocrat Rouhani cannot be trusted. Iran is still a totalitarian Islamic autocracy, even under Rouhani, and still building nuclear weapons, so Brownfield's limp apologia is just a lot of BS.

And unlike Iran, Japan democratized themselves post-WW2 and doesn't run itself based exclusively on religion.

OBAMA SACRIFICING MILITARY DEFENSE AND OUR ABTI-TERROR INTEL', BUT PROTECTING OBAMACARE - (AND FOR THIS THE SOB SHOULD BE IMPEACHED!)

ACCORDING THE STATE-RUN MEDIA, THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH IS FURLOUGHING ANALYSTS AT THE CIA AND FBI - BUT KEEPING OBAMACARE'S HEALTH INSURANCE BUREAUCRATS ON THE JOB.

SINCE WHEN ARE THE ANALYSTS AT THE CIA NON-ESSENTIAL, BUT THE BUREAUCRATS AT OBAMACARE NOT?

SINCE WE HAVE A TRAITOR IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

LEE RIGBY'S MURDERERS WON'T ADMIT THEIR GUILT

The two Muslims who violently murdered British soldier Lee Rigby pleaded not guilty at their trial (via Big Peace):

Two men accused of hacking a British soldier to death earlier this year in an apparent Islamist terrorist attack on a London street, pleaded not guilty in court Friday, the BBC reported.

Michael Adebolajo, 28, and Michael Adebowale, 22, both from London, denied charges that they murdered off-duty soldier Lee Rigby near his southeast London barracks on May 22. They're accused of running Rigby over with a car and then stabbing him repeatedly in broad daylight.

The suspects also plead not guilty to charges of attempting to murder a local police officer on the same day and plotting to kill a police officer around the same time.

What they're basically refusing to do is admit their violent actions were wrong. And what's really terrible is that they may not get the death sentence, even though that would be the most strongly recommended punishment for them. Europe hurt themselves by discarding the death penalty in many countries.

TURKEY'S "ISLAMOPHOBIA" CONFERENCE PROMOTES SHARIA AGENDA

Andrew Harrod and Sam Nunberg wrote about the "International Conference on Islamophobia" that was held in Turkey:

Objective observers should be rightfully concerned by the “International Conference on Islamophobia: Law & Media” held by the Turkish government’s Directorate General of Press and Information (DGPI or BYGEM in Turkish) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) this past September 12-13 in Istanbul’s Grand Tarabya Hotel. Conference participants substantiated all too many threats emanating from various Muslims and their allies, calling into question their respect for free speech and freedom of expression.

They never had it to start with. Their whole blabbermouth gathering is nothing more than an expression of hate for every non-Muslim who loves freedom. And that's why this meeting is most definitely something everybody should be worried about.

HOW MANY CONVERTS TO ISLAM IN BRITAIN?

Following the jihad bloodbath at the Nairobi mall, The Economist wonders how many people in the UK convert to the Religion of Rape:

Those who embrace Islam tend to do so after years of contact with Muslims. (Ms Lewthwaite reportedly had a close relationship with Muslim neighbours during her youth.) Some, mostly women who make up around two-thirds of new believers in Britain, convert because they want to marry a Muslim. Others are fed up with what they see as the bawdiness of British society. Many speak of seeking a sense of community. Prisons have proven fertile ground for conversions for men. Some worry that those who convert in jail are exposed to more radical strains of Islam; others say that Islam's discipline and structure, along with the support they received from other Muslims, helped them to cope with life inside.

I'd say it's the prejudiced mindsets lurking in the shadows in Britain that lead to this, to name one example. And becoming part of a gang in prisons for inclusive protection is another. Still another would have to be the atheism that's built up in the UK over many years, to say nothing of the whitewashed view promoted for Islam on the isle.

The article comes unglued, however, when they quote a Muslim propagandist:

Some worry that converts are more vulnerable than others to radical kinds of Islam because they know little about the religion's different traditions. That is not quite right, says Leon Moosavi, an expert on Islamic conversions at Liverpool University. The problem for converts is a lack of support, he argues. Some are abandoned by their families. They may not be accepted into mainstream mosques, many of which in Britain resemble ethnic clubs, he says. That isolation can make them vulnerable to extremists who hope that white converts will add credibility to their cause. But converts who turn to terrorism, as Ms Lewthwaite is suspected of doing, are rare. Indeed, the vast, peaceable majority may help to bridge the gap between Muslims and others.

Nope, they won't, and this only perpetuates the cliched claim that converts "misunderstand". When it truth, it is the apologists who deny the horrific beliefs embedded in the Koran. Furthermore, converts who turn to terrorism may not have been many years ago, but the more the conversions and influence increase, so does the possibility they'll become the useful idiots of Islamofascism.

A SPY FOR IRAN WAS CAPTURED

Ali Mansouri, a man with Iranian-Belgian background, was arrested for espionage for the former:

Petah Tikva — Israel on Monday remanded in custody for eight days an alleged Iranian spy, arrested on September 11 carrying photographs of the US embassy in Tel Aviv.

News of his arrest was made public Sunday, hours after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu left for Washington and New York, determined to expose what he described as "sweet talk" by Israel's arch-foe Iran.

An AFP cameraman at the court said that in his first public appearance Ali Mansouri, 58, was silent and motionless as he sat in handcuffs, wearing a brown prison uniform.

Some pictures were released by the government showing the locations he photographed.

I don't buy a word of the new Iranian despot's taqqiya at the UN, and this newly discovered case could help expose what a phony he is, if his lackeys sent spies to record locations they could consider targets for jihad. Jennifer Rubin also says that Iran's still a very dangerous enemy, and they shouldn't be allowed to possess nuclears.

Here's more about the courtroom hearing on the Jerusalem Post.

GEORGETOWN U. IS THE WORST OF THE ANTI-ISRAEL HARBORS

Barry Rubin's written about the far left's overlording of university campuses, with the worst of the anti-Israelists' hosts being Georgetown:

There is no university more supportive of the Arab nationalist (historically), Islamist and anti-Israel line in the United States than Georgetown University, specifically it’s programs on Middle East studies.

Every conference it holds on the Middle East is ridiculously one-sided. The university has received tens of millions of dollars from Arab states, and it houses the most important center in the United States that has advocated support for a pro-Islamist policy. [...]

Georgetown University also accepted tens of thousands of dollars from Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi – who was, of course, very active in promoting anti-American terrorism – to establish an endowed chair in Middle East studies. When the university president backed down due to bad publicity, the professor who had been named to the post responded by calling the Jesuit university president a “Jesuit Zionist.”

Nobody who cares about safe society need contribute to such awful directors as those running Georgetown.

DHIMMI DAVID CAMERON THINKS UK SHOULDN'T BAN NIQABS

The British prime minister doesn't think veils should be banned in public:

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Prime Minister David Cameron said on Sunday Britain should not follow other European countries and ban Islamic face veils but certain institutions such as schools and courts should be allowed to set their own rules.

The issue of Muslim women wearing full veils has risen up the agenda after a judge ruled that a woman could not give evidence at a trial wearing a niqab and a school tried to ban veils before backtracking due to heavy criticism and protests.

One cabinet minister also suggested the British government should consider a full ban.

"We are a free country and people should be free to wear whatever clothes they like in public or in private," Cameron told BBC Television on the first day of the annual Conservative party conference in Manchester.

"But we should support institutions that need to put in place rules so that those institutions can work properly. In court a jury needs to be able to look at someone's face."

Britain, which is looking at ways to better integrate its 2.7 million Muslims without restricting the right to freedom of religious expression, has avoided following France and Belgium, where it is illegal for women to wear full-face veils in public.

France introduced its law in 2010, saying the adoption of burqa and niqab garments that conceal the face went against the country's traditions and values. But the ruling has remained controversial and rioting occurred near Paris in July this year after a police check on a woman.

The British judge who made the recent court ruling has said he hoped parliament would provide a definitive verdict and Cameron said he would be very happy to look at the need for national guidelines.

I think he's merely happy to say so, which is a lot different from do. There have been a lot of proposals with potential like abolishing the libel tourism laws that to date have never come to fruition, and seem to have just dropped down the memory hole. Cameron is merely scared of riots and doesn't have the courage to stop Muslims from going the rage route over peanuts. If people go around wearing ski masks in public when the weather isn't even cold, and enter stores wearing them, will he be fine with that?

If anyone must really hide their identities, they should just become hermits.

MARINE LE PEN SUGGESTS AN ALLIANCE WITH GEERT WILDERS

The younger Le Pen, who's certainly better in some respects than her awful father, has suggested aligning with Wilders in coming European elections:

Le Pen said in an interview with the NRC on Saturday that she could see merit in such a campaign. ‘It is important that voters see we are not alone, and that there are similar patriotic movements in every EU country,’ she said.

Le Pen said she and Wilders differ in their approach to Islam. ‘I am against the visibility of Islam in society. We have a tradition of a strict division between church and state so I think religious symbolism has no place in the street. But I have nothing against Islam per se.' Wilders regards Islam as a backward religion and has likened the Koran to Hitler's Mein Kampf.

There is a weakness in her argument: even if religious symbolism weren't visible in the streets per se, the danger of jihad would be lurking in the shadows. It's not just repellent ideas like Muslim veils that are a problem, but also the violence that's part and parcel with the Koran. That's something Le Pen would do well to research and ponder, if she really wants to make a good impact.

And like Wilders, she'd do well to refrain from making statements that could alienate potential allies. The anti-jihad movement needs all the help it can get from people with common sense values.

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).
