Islam wants to conquer the world by Egon Flaig

2006-10-01T21:08:00.000+10:00

More from Michelle Malkin, this time a translation of Germanys Egon Flag

"For we want the flag of Islam to fly over those lands again, who were lucky enough, to be ruled by Islam for a time, and hear the call of the muezzin praise God. Then the light of Islam died out and they returned to disbelief. Andalusia, Sicily, the Balkans, Southern Italy and the Greek islands are all Islamic colonies which have to return to Islam's lap. The Mediterranean and the Red Sea have to become internal seas of Islam, as they used to be".

These are not the words of Al Qaeda, they were taken from the programme formulated by the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan Al Banna, in a speech. The Brotherhood today has millions of adherents and spread out far beyond Egypt. Its intellectuals are working in Europe and the United States; they count as "moderates" and are treated accordingly by the media. Re-conquest of "lost" territory according to plan is part of the agenda of states, that is political communities, fighting about territorial power. How can it be part of a religion's programme? Is Islam a religion like any other?

Since the beginning of the classical period between the ninth and the eleventh century Islamic jurists have divided the world into two parts, namely the "House of Islam" and the "House of War". This dichotomy is independent of where Muslims live in large numbers, or even form the majority, but depends on where Islam rules supreme - by applying Shariah - or where it does not rule. So, this dichotomy is not religious in nature, but political. Between these two parts of the world naturally exists a state of war, until the House of War is no more and Islam rules the world (Sura 8, 39 and 9, 41). Thus, according to classical teaching, for the Muslim community there is a duty to wage war against the disbelievers, until those either convert, or submit. This war is called jihad.

While Jesus' missionary call meant to convert all peoples, but to leave their political order untouched, Islam's aim is to submit all non-muslims politically, but to leave their religion untouched, if it is a religion of the book. God's general call to jihad is based on surah 9, 29. It is true though, that minute factions of islam did not accept this interpretation. The Shiites accept it, but demand that a true imam must be leading the Muslim community (and has been waiting for such a one for more than 13 centuries), so that for the time being they only feel bound to defensive jihad, in the case of attacks on the Muslim community.

On the other hand, the other factions, e.g. the so-called Kharijites, have radicalised the content of Sura 9.29: for them, jihad is an individual duty of each able-bodied muslim, which counts as a sixth pillar next to the other five cardinal duties. In the consequence of such teachings: when everyone has to either take part in the collective war against the unbelievers, or, should the Muslim community be too weak for the time being, has to wage war alone or in small groups, then assassinations and terror attacks are right. What the Kharijites demand for offensive jihad, most proponents of orthodox Sunnah-teachings demand for defensive jihad: when Islam is being attacked, or islamic territory is being invaded by infidels, jihad becomes an individual duty, e.g. a fatwa of the Grand Mufti of Cairo's Al-Azhar university - against Israel - leaves no doubt about that. Any enemy power that acts according to the Hague rules of warfare and strictly distinguishes combatants and non-combatants will be in great difficulty. The state of war lasts so long, until the House of War is destroyed, and the world is conquered. This is why Majid Khadduri calls Islam a "divine nomocracy on imperialist foundations". Peace treaties, which Islamic rulers closed with non-Islamic rulers, were only considered as cease-fires; this is why as a rule, they were only closed for no more than ten years. Two schools of jurisprudence permit no more than three to four years of peace. The short deadlines made it possible for the militarily superior Muslims to constantly blackmail their adversaries; this way throughout the centuries huge amounts of money and humans went to the Muslim side. When the paradigm of power shifted, Muslim rulers had to change their practice.

Thus in 1535 Suleiman the Magnificent made a peace with the French king which was to last for the lifetime of the Sultan - a break with tradition. Christian theologians tried to define, in the face of a plurality of states, what could be deemed a "just war" and what could not be deemed such. To wage war just in the interest of faith for the most part was not considered just. For Muslim scholars on the other hand, the "house of islam" is a political unit, which does not permit internal war, therefore only war for the sugjugation of infidels was considered legitimate and even a duty, as the famous fourtheenth-century scholare Ibn Chaldun categorically states: "In Islam the jihad is prescribed by law, because it has a universal calling and is supposed to convert all of humanity to Islam, be it of their own free will, or by force".

The rules of engagement for jihad are flexible. According to Khadduri, anything is possible, from mercy to mass enslavement to mass killing, just like with Greeks and Romans. This is a fundamental difference between the holy war of islam and of Old Testament Judaism, which prescribed the killing of all males outside of Israel, and the killing of every living thing within Israel (Deuteronomy 20, 10-20). We usually are outraged at what the Crusaders did in Jerusalem in 1099. Yet, the Crusaders acted in accordance with the ius bellum of the times, Muslim conquerors did the same all the time and everywhere: 698 they hit Carthage, in 838 Syracuse; the notorious vesir of the Cordoban Caliphate, Al Mansur, led 25 wars in 27 years against the Christian realms of northern Spain, enslaving, destroying, laying waste. They hit Zamora (981), Coimbra (987), Leon, Barcelona twice (985 and 1008), then Santiago de Compostela (997).

The worst destruction was wreaked by the jihadis on Byzantine Anatolia, which was then still full of cities; the massacre of Amorium (838) has remained a symbol for a long time; the urban culture of Anatolia never recovered from it.

The Seljuk Alp Arslan had entire Armenian cities massacred, the worst being the capital Ani in 1064. Bat Ye'or's evaluation therefore is more than justified: "Its lack of measure, its regularity and the systematic character of the destructions, which Islamic theologians had decreed to be law, make the difference between jihad and other wars of conquest".Certainly, mass enslavement remained the favourite aim of the wars. That was the way in which, as early as the eight century, the biggest slave-holder society developed that world history has ever known; it demanded a permanent influx of new slaves, transformed the African continent into the biggest supplier of slaves, a destiny which Europe narrowly avoided.

The incredible speed, in which in 90 years an Arabian empire spanning from the south of France to India developed, with no single conqueror guiding the expansion, is unique. The world's most succesful imperialism was admired by no less than Hegel: "Never has enthusiasm as such done bigger deeds". If "enthusiasm" could do such a thing - what was its source? The answer is simple: martyrdom. Something happening in 963 in Constantinople may illustrate this: the emperor Nikephoros Phokas had just swept the Muslim invaders from Crete; now, he was planning a big war, to liberate eastern Anatolia and northern Syria from muslim rule. A council should help him: he pleaded with the bishops, to elevate soldiers dying in the war to the status of martyrs. Paradise would then have been assured for those soldiers. The patriarch stood up against the emperor: no church council could be empowered to anticipate God's decision, only God could decide on eternal salvation.

A scene of historical significance. The emperor knew what was at stake. Again and again, the Byzantians had to witness the Muslim troops fighting with a ferocious courage that the Christians could not emulate. Fallen Muslims were considered martyrs of the faith and marched straight to paradise. The concept of a martyr is fundamentally different in the two religions. Christian martyrs imitate the passion of Jesus, passively submit to torture and death; Muslim martyrs are active fighters.

Decisive for the warriors' acceptance of death was the firm promise of eternal salvation for those who die for the faith (surah 4, 74-76). Muslims should withstand a tenfold force (surah 8, 66-67); retreat was judged to be acceptable by later scholars if the enemy was at least double as strong, as Khadduri describes. As the decisive factor in any war is the fighting human being and his readiness to sacrifice himself, being on a par technically with the Arabs and Seljuks - in the long run, they had to succumb, if their morale was not of the same kind. Higher readiness to die is an enormous advantage in a fight- foolhardy operations can be waged and dashing manoeuvers to surprise and confuse the enemy; in that way, victory can be forced, that is technically and materially almost impossible, and battles are won, that would be lost under the usual circumstances.

Nikephoros knew about the military consequences of surah 4, 74-76; he was the first who tried to correct the conceptual military disadvantage of the Christian religion. But the bishops of the Eastern Church found themselves incapable of manipulating their theology in a way to create warlike martyrdom. This was it. The Byzantine emperors had to wage their heavy defensive wars against the permanent Saracen and Seljuk aggression without the help of religion, where they needed that help most.

Only the Western Church changed the theological-political situation: when Pope Urban II called the first crusade in 1095, he promised the Christian warriors forgiveness for their sins: fallen crusaders avoided divine judgement and were put on a par with martyrs in that respect, although they were denied that name.

The Pope as head of a monarchic church did just that, what the Council of Eastern bishops had not been able to do: he dispensed salvation. The papal church now could have the kind of "holy war" islam had been waging for centuries. What is the difference between Crusade and jihad? A Crusade could only be called by the Pope, and thus remained a rare occurence - compared to the countless, neverending and ubiquitarian jihads of the islamic world.

And the goals of the Crusades remain precisely defined; in November 1095, Urban II defined reason and aim of the crusade: "it is obvious, we must give help to our brothers in the east as soon as possible. The Turks and Arabs have attacked them and have invaded the realm of Romania (Constantinople) and by invading the lands of these Christians ever more deeply, they won seven battles, killed or captured a huge number of the Christians. If you don't oppose them now, the faithful servants of God in the Orient will not withstand this storm much longer". The first Crusades were meant to either help Christians in need, or to liberate the holy places in Palestine or to liberate Christians that had been subjugated by Muslims. On the other hand, the Muslim scholars always kept firm to their final goal, to conquer the "house of war" and subjugate all infidels.
Urban II was right. Had Constantinople fallen in 1100, the enormous military power of the Turk armies would have plagued Europe four hundred years earlier. Then the manifold European culture probably would never have been: no free urban constitutions, no constitutional debates, no cathedrals, no renaissance, no scientific boom, because in the Islamic world, free - Greek! - thinking was dying just at this time. Jacob Burckhardt's evaluation - "A stroke of luck, that Europe as a whole could ward off Islam" - means, we owe about as much to the Crusades, as to the Greeks' victory against the Persians.

But, have the Crusades not been abused? Certainly. Crusades "derailed" and were "abused", like the one that led to the conquest of Christian Constantinople in 1204. But that happened much more often with jihads. When slaves became scarce, emirs did not merely wage wars against non-Muslim peoples, who had to be enslaved anyway, but more and more often against Islamized peoples, under the pretext, that they were no true Muslims. That happened mainly in Africa and against black Africans, e.g. when first in 1468 Songhay and then the Moroccans in 1552 invaded Mali, or when in the 18th century religious reformers waged their jihad against Muslimized Hausa cities, which led to the creation of the Sokoto-caliphate - containing the third largest number of slaves after Brazil and the American south. Africa to this day suffers from the consequences of this permanent jihad with its genocides and mass-enslavements

Well, and what was the political order that the Muslims waged their holy wars for with such vehemence and success? For Shariah. A political order, which for one strictly separates masters from the subjugated and secondly takes political and social order away from human influence for the most part. Let's talk about the first aspect: According to the Shariah, the Muslims are masters, the followers of other "book religions" - Christians, Jews, Parsees, Buddhists, are subjugated, Dhimmi. These were not religious minorities, but huge majorities, especially in Syria, Anatolia or the Christians of North-Africa.

The subjugated were not allowed to carry weapons, they were unarmed, thus not 'real men'. Christians and Jews had to wear special colours or pieces of clothing (this discrimination was the origin of the "Judenstern") so as to be visibly "dhimmi"; they were not allowed to ride on horseback, only on mules, to remind them of their subjugation; they paid a special tribute (jizyah), that they had to pay personally, while being given a slap on the head. They had to let themselves be beaten by any Muslim, without being allowed to defend themselves; if a dhimmi retaliated, his hand would be cut off, or he would be executed. A dhimmi's witness did not count against a Muslim, who only had to pay half the fine for any crime committed against a dhimmi, and could never ever get executed for any such crime. On the other side, the most cruel methods of execution were reserved for the dhimmi.

Even the discrimination against the Jews, installed by the Western Church in the 4th Lateran Council in 1215, four hundred years after Islam, and which seems so barbarian to us, did not intend and did not lead to such a degree of humiliation and demeaning of people. A special horror was brought by the Turkish rule: from 1360 up to a fifth of Christian children were abducted into slavery. They were forcefully converted. The number of slaves through four centuries must have been millions; hundreds of thousands of choice boys among those were raised to be fanatical Muslims and elite fighters, the notorious Janissaries: a politic meant to systematically increase the Muslim population and slowly exterminate Christians. It was successful. "Dhimmitude" put non-muslims in a state of radical "otherness". To call people in this state "second class citizens" is a euphemism.

In the same way national socialism divided humans into master-race and subhumans on racial grounds, so Shariah did it on religious grounds. As the first world-religion, Islam created an apartheid, where Christian or Parsee majorities were colonised and slowly Islamized. Islamic tolerance meant: tolerate the subjugated as humiliated and demeaned. All this is well known via studies about "dhimmitude". But who wants to hear about the millions of victims?
Islam religiously "cleansed" huge territories: the second Caliph made the Hijaz, Arabia except Yemen "judenrein" and "christenrein"; the alternative was either to convert, or to be forced into emigration. Except for some Old Testament cases no religion ever before had done that. In the same way the Almohadis and Almoravids "cleansed" Spain after the breakdown of the Caliphate in 1031: tens of thousands of Jews and Christians had to either convert or flee to the Christian north of Spain, or the Levant. Certainly, English and French kings and the kings of Spain later on did the same - they applied the Muslim recipe in doing it. And the pogroms? Since the Caliph Al-Mutawakkil (847-861) waves of persecution again and again hit the Orient and North Africa, where Jews and Christians were forcibly converted, kicked out or massacred. The destruction of churches went on and on right until the century before last. Slowly, the rosy picture of Muslim Spain created by European anti-imperialism in the 19th century loses its fake colours. A scrupulous study of documents shows a different picture below that. In 889 in Elvira and in 891 in Seville, there were massive pogroms against Christians. In Moroccan Fez in 1033, 6000 Jews were massacred. 1058 Christian Antioch was forcefully Muslimized with torture and threats of death.

The first large pogrom against Jews on European soil happened in 1066 in Muslim Granada, 1500 Jewish families were killed. In 1135 the Jewish quarter of Cordoba was burnt down, it might be good, not to know the number of people massacred then. In 1159 all the Christians in Tunis had to chose between conversion or death. At this time, the vital Christianity of North Africa was completely wiped out. The pogroms in Christian lands are nothing to be proud of in European history, but their scope lags behind the ones in the Muslim world. We urgently need a comparative study of religious oppression.

Let's talk about integration of the Jews? Nowhere under the rule of Islam, not even in the Spanish Caliphate, were Jews citizens of their own cities, they always remained subjugated. In some German cities - Worms, Augsburg and others - during the high Middle Ages the Jews were citizens, albeit of special legal satus. They had the right to carry arms and were better off than poorer Christian people. Right until the 14th century, when their situation got worse, they were far better integrated than Jews in Muslim Spain could ever hope to be. Who thinks highly of political integration cannot but prefer Augsburg to Cordoba. All this has been well known in academic circles for fifteen years. But who wants to hear it?

To ignore the past means to re-live it. He who keeps on spreading the fairytale of muslim tolerance, stands in the way of those Muslim intellectuals, who seriously work towards a reformation of islam, which started out so promisingly in the 19th century. He steals away their chance to overcome a past, which threatens to become a horrible presence. If the reformers could achieve a radical de-politicization of islam, the muslims could become real citizens of their states. That would leave the highly spiritual religion, which fascinated not only Goethe. Hegel called Islam the "religion of sublime". It could become that.

Robert Redekers - Banned in Egypt

2006-10-01T21:03:00.000+10:00

Here is the full text of Robert Redekers article on Islam that won him death threats from followers of the Religion of Peace™ and sent him into hiding. Via Michelle Malkins site.

What should the free world do while facing Islamist intimidation?

The reactions caused by Benedict XVI’s analysis of Islam and violence highlight the underhanded maneuver carried out by Islam to stifle what the West values more than anything, and which does not exist in any Moslem country: freedom of thought and expression.

Islam tries to impose its rules on Europe : opening of public swimming pools at certain hours reserved exclusively for women, ban on caricaturing this religion, demands for special diets for Muslim children in school cafeterias, struggle to impose the veil at school, accusations of Islamophobia against free spirits.

How can one explain the ban on the wearing thongs on Paris-Beaches* this summer? The reasoning put forth was bizarre: women wering thongs would risk “disturbing the peace”. Did this mean that bands of frustrated youths would become violent while being offended by displays of beauty? Or were the authorities scared of Islamist demonstrations by virtue squads near Paris-Beaches?

However, the authorization of the veil on the street is more disturbing to public peace than wearing a thong, because it invites complaints against the upholding the oppression of women .This ban represents an Islamization of sensibilities in France, a more or less conscious submission to the diktats of Islam. At the very least it is the result of the insidious Muslim pressure on the minds: even those who protested the introduction of a “Jean Paul II Square” in Paris would not be opposed to the construction of mosques. Islam is trying to force Europe to yield to its vision of humanity.

As in the past with Communism, the West finds itself under ideological watch. Islam presents itself, like defunct Communism, as an alternative to the Western world. In the way of Communism before it, Islam, to conquer spirits, plays on a sensitive string. It prides itself on a legitimacy which troubles Western conscience, which is attentive to others: it claims to be the voice of the oppressed of the planet. Yesterday, the voice of the poor supposedly came from Moscow, today it originates in Mecca! Again, today, western intellectuals incarnate the eye of the Koran, as they have incarnated the eye of Moscow. They now excommunicate people because of Islamophobia, as they did before because of anti-communism.

This opening to others, specific to the West, is a secularization of Christianity that can be summarized thus:the other person must come before myself. The Westerner, heir to Christianity, is the that exposes his soul bare. He runs the risk of being seen as weak. With the same ardor as Communism, Islam treats generosity, broadmindedness, tolerance, gentleness, freedom of women and of manners, democratic values, as marks of decadence. They are weaknesses that it seeks to exploit, by means of useful idiots, self-rigtheous consciences drowning in nice feelings, in order to impose the Koranic order on the Western world itself.

The Koran is a book of unparalleled violence. Maxime Rodinson states, in Encyclopedia Universalis, some truths that in France are as significant as they are taboo. On one hand: “Mohammed revealed in Medina unsuspected qualities as political leader and military chief (…) He resorted to private war, by then a prevalent custom in Arabia (….) Mohammed soon sent small groups of partisans to attack the Meccan caravans, thus punishing his unbelieving compatriots and simultaneously acquiring the booty of a wealthy man.”

There is more: “Mohammed profited from this success by eradicating the Jewish tribe which resided in Medina, the Quarayza, whom he accused of suspect behaviour.” And: “After the death of Khadija, he married a widow, a good housewife, called Sawda, and in addition to the little Aisha, barely ten years old. His erotic predilections, held in check for a long time, led him to ten simultaneous marriages .”

A merciless war chief, plunderer, slaughterer of Jews and a polygamist, such is the man revealed through the Koran.

Of , the Catholic church is not above reproach. Its history is strewn with dark pages, for which it has officially repentaed. The Inquisition, the hounding of witches, the execution of the philosophers Giordano Bruno and Vanini, those wrong-thinking Epicureans, in the 18th century the execution of the knight of La Barre for impiety, do not plead in the church’s favor. But what differentiates Christianity from Islam is obvious: it is always possible to go back to true evangelical values, the peaceful character of Jesus as opposed to the deviations of the Church.

None of the faults of the Church have their roots in the Gospel. Jesus is non-violent. Going back to Jesus is akin to forswear the excesses of the Church. Going back to Mahomet, to the conbtrary, reinforces hate and violence. Jesus is a master of love, Mahomet is a master of hatred.

The stoning of Satan, each year in Mecca, is not only an obsolete superstition. It not only sets the stage for a hysterical crowd flirting with barbarity. Its importis anthropological. Here is a rite, which each Muslim is invited to submit to, that emphasizes violence as a sacred duty in the very heart of the believer.

This stoning, accompanied each year by the acciedental trampling to death of some of the believers, sometimes up to several hundreds, is a rite that feeds archaic violence.

Instead of getting rid of this archaic violence, and thus imitating Judaism and Christianity (Judaism starts when it abandons human sacrifice, and enters civilization; Christianity transforms sacrifice through the Eucharist), Islam builds a nest for this violence, where it will incubate. Whereas Judaism and Christianity are religions whose rites spurn violence, by delegitimizing it, Islam is a religion that exalts violence and hatred in its everyday rites and sacred book.

Hatred and violence dwell in the book with which every Muslim is brought up, the Koran. As in the Cold War, where violence and intimidation were the methods used by an ideology hell bent on hegemony, so today Islam tries to put its leaden mantel all over the world. Benedict XVI’s cruel experience is testimony to this. Nowadays, the West has to be called the “free world” in comparison to the Muslim world; likewise, the enemies of the “free world”, the zealous bureaucrats of the Koran’s vision, swarm in the very center of the frre World.

Muslim Youths Celebrate Ramadan, Euro Style

2006-09-28T23:03:00.000+10:00

The annual celebration of ~~ramadan~~ bombadan is upon us, and what better way to kick off the fasting than with the destruction of shops and cars.

Meanwhile, further east in Euro-al-Islam, the United Kingdom, a bunch of pathetic whining muslim employees of Littlewoods are complaining that afternoon tea is at the wrong time for their extremist observances. Poor dears. Perhaps if they moved to Saudi Arabia they would be happier.

Londons Mega Mosque and the Broken Cemetary

2006-09-27T23:09:00.000+10:00

Yet more acts of almost unbelievable stupidity by the British. First we have Londons new mega ~~terrorist recruiting centre~~ mosque, to be built on the site of Londons Olympic Village, despite opposition from local residents. God forbid the residents have any say, they might have their heads sawn off by the local chapter of the religion of peace™.

Just as bad is the cemetery that will be built with graves facing in the direction required by muslims. In a predominantly christian country. So the poor eternal victim muzzies dont feel, <ahem>, excluded.

I can't think of a better way of saying "we surrender", unless we say it in French.

Psychology of Suicide Bombers

2006-09-27T23:00:00.000+10:00

The Pedestrian Infidel has a great post on the psychology of suicide bombers, as discussed by Pierre Rehov, the director of the documentary "Suicide Killers". Well worth a read.

On the suicide bombers themselves

Q - You say that a suicide bomber is a 'stupid bomb and a smart bomb' simultaneously. Explain what you mean.

A - Unlike an electronic device, a suicide killer has until the last second the capacity to change his mind. In reality, he is nothing but a platform representing interests which are not his, but he doesn't know it.

On the solution to suicide bombings

A - Stop being politically correct and stop believing that this culture is a victim of ours. Radical Islamism today is nothing but a new form of Naziism. Nobody was trying to justify or excuse Hitler in the 1930s. We had to defeat him in order to make peace one day with the German people.

I would also add that we need to stop acting like pussies every time the muzzie savages get pissed at a cartoon or misunderstood quote.

Yet Another Reason why Britain is Screwed

2006-09-25T01:53:00.000+10:00

Seriously, if you live in Britian and you're not a muslim or radical marxist, you should immigrate to sunnier climes.

Police are planning to ask politely before raiding terror suspects. Wouldn;t want to offend any radical islamists now would we? Jolly good idea chaps, that'll work reaaaalllly well.

And this weeks ugliest British Islamist award goes to: Abu Izzadeen.

Islam - The Religion for Retards

2006-09-17T18:01:00.000+10:00

So the pope addresses a university crowd with an academic lecture dealing with religious violence, in particlar stating that violence is against the will of god. Islamotards around the world unite in seething hatred against this and proceed to issue death threats to the pope, burn down churches and kill christians. And moderate muslims wonder where Islamophobia stems from? Hang on a sec, did I say moderate? I forgot that there's no such thing. I wish I could say this latest example of mass stupidity is surprising, but it's just another typical day in the bizzaro Islamic universe.

Angry muslims protesting violently against being characterised as violent

Hezbollahs Hudna Going Great Guns

2006-09-10T18:33:00.000+10:00

I wonder what Kofi has to say about this then? We all knew that Hezbollah would re-arm as soon as Israel lifted its blockade. We also know that neither the UN nor the Lebanese army will prevent weapons from getting to the Jihadis. So what is the point of the UN operation? To protect Hezbollah until they have been sufficiently armed for round two?

Iran’s first post-blockade arms flight departed Dubai Friday, Sept. 8, to test the ground at Beirut international airport for Israeli air force or UN reactions. DEBKAfile’s military sources report that the forbidden goods were unloaded and sailed through the airport unhindered. Tehran therefore determined to send two further bulk consignments in the next 48 hours aboard commercial flights from the Persian Gulf.

Our sources report the arms crates listed were on the documents as “computer equipment. Handle with care.” They were offloaded onto trucks which drove in convoy to Hizballah headquarters in Baalbek.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan, determined to end Israel’s air blockade on Lebanon, promised solemnly that UN monitors would control incoming passengers and goods at Beirut airport. But he failed to make the Siniora government follow through on this pledge. The Lebanese prime minister immediately barred the airport to UN inspections. The five German air monitors agreed on were only allowed to establish a checkpoint for controlling arms smuggling at a distance of one kilometer from the international airport. DEBKAfile reports they are standing idle because the trucks carrying forbidden cargoes are able leave the airfield and bypass their checkpoint by alternative routes.

UN = The Useless Nations

Released Palestinian Prisoners Return to Violence

2006-09-10T18:31:00.000+10:00

Again, no real suprises here.

The report, by the Almagor Terror Victims Association, demonstrates that at least 14 of the major terrorist attacks in recent years were carried out by terrorists released from prison in the context of various “good will gestures” and Israeli prisoner deals. All of them were released with assurances to the public that they did not have “blood on their hands,” – a euphemism for those prisoners whose deadly attacks failed to prove fatal.

What's in a Saudi Textbook?

2006-09-10T18:25:00.000+10:00

Do you really want to know? The contents may suprise you.

here's a sample

"As cited in Ibn Abbas: The apes are Jews, the people of the Sabbath; while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus."

"They are the Jews, whom God has cursed and with whom He is so angry that He will never again be satisfied [with them]."

"It is part of God's wisdom that the struggle between the Muslim and the Jews should continue until the hour [of judgment]."

"Do not yield to them [Christians and Jews] on a narrow road out of honor and respect."

15 out of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia.

Turning the other cheek?

2006-09-10T18:15:00.000+10:00

Miranda Devine writes in the Sydney Morning Herald that turning the other cheek wont work

Ever since the attacks, Guardianistas have preferred the Basil Fawlty approach to the war on terror: don't mention the war. Deny its existence. Throw all your energy and resources into an attack on your own Government as it tries to keep its citizens safe. Defend to the death the human rights of al-Qaeda terrorists and their proteges. Declare that if we don't treat 'em nice they've won the so-called war.

It's a lot easier than trying to solve the problem of Islamic terrorism; you don't have to adjust your prejudices and your friends will applaud you at dinner parties.

And theres the problem. We don't have a united front because we've become soft. This is particularly true of the British. You don't win wars by being nice to your enemy. You'd think that this would be so obvious it wouldn't need a newspaper article.

Brits Kicking Jihadi Ass in Helmand

Unlike their pasty capitulating countrymen back home, these Brits are wasting Jihadi scumbags on their home turf. Check out the footage of the US A-10 tankbuster granting the Talibans most dearly held wish of Matyrdom. I hope Mo's not running out of virgins up there!

Palestinians train to kidnap more Israelis

More entirely predictable news from Palestinian RoP'ers.

"We are now planning and training for the next kidnappings. Even if [Israel] releases hundreds of prisoners in exchange for Shalit, we still have thousands more to liberate. More Israeli soldiers must be abducted," said the terror leader, who spoke on condition of anonymity amid reports Israel is considering releasing hundreds of Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Shalit.

The Beautiful Religion

2006-09-09T22:30:00.000+10:00

Western pro Islam propaganda stresses that it is peaceful and tolerant, indeed that it is a beautiful religion. The reality is different. Stoning to death is a punishment still used today in several countries that enforce sharia including Iran, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Afghanistan, and the United Arab Emirates. Not to mention France.

This video represents the brutal reality of sharia. Definately not for the squeamish.

Convert to Islam or Die. Convert from Islam and Die

2006-09-09T15:04:00.000+10:00

Lina Joy is a Malaysian woman who converted from Islam to Catholicism. Big deal you say? Well, as Malaysia converts itself from a progressive secular state into a bigoted and oppresive Islamist state such an action warrants a court case to have conversion recognised so that she can marry. Worse, she has been the target of death threats from the Muslim community accusing her of apostasy. Even her lawyer is not safe

Given the situation the lives of those who are spearheading the difficult fight for religious freedom in Malaysia are at risk, the lives of people like human rights lawyer Malik Imtiaz Sarwar, who has been an observer at the appeal trial for the Malaysian Bar Council, and whose face now appears in a 'Wanted Dead' poster.

The message that came with the photo was no less clear: "This is the face of the traitorous lawyer to Islam who supports the Lina Joy apostasy case. Distribute to our friends so they can recognize this traitor. If you find him dead by the side of the road, do not help."

Yes, Islam is truly the Religion of Peace and Tolerance™

Can We Trust Moderate Muslims?

2006-09-09T14:49:00.000+10:00

An interesting take on the gloabl Jihad from Fjordman

In August 2006, following the unveiling of a plot to blow up several airliners between Britain and the USA, Muslim leaders summoned to talks with the Government on tackling extremism made a series of demands, which included the introduction of sharia law for family matters. Dr Syed Aziz Pasha, secretary general of the Union of Muslim Organisations of the UK and Ireland, said: ‘We told her [the minister] if you give us religious rights, we will be in a better position to convince young people that they are being treated equally along with other citizens.’

As Charles Johnson of blog Little Green Footballs dryly commented, this is an interesting viewpoint: Only by receiving special treatment and instituting a medieval religious legal code can Muslims be treated “equally.”

After the plot against the airliners was uncovered, a large number of UK Muslim groups sent a letter with veiled threats to PM Tony Blair, stating that “It is our view that current British government policy risks putting civilians at increased risk both in the UK and abroad,” and that the British should “change our foreign policy,” in addition to allowing Muslims more sharia. The same thing happened after the bombs in London in 2005.

If we watch closely, we will notice that Muslims are highly organized and have prepared long lists of demands. Every act of terrorism, or Jihad as it really is, is seen as an opportunity to push even greater demands. Radical Muslims and moderate Muslims are allies, not adversaries. The radicals bomb, and the moderates issue veiled threats that “unless we get our will, more such attacks will ensue.” It’s a good cop, bad cop game.

Honour Killings in Germany

The Whore Lived Like a German

In the past four months, six Muslim women living in Berlin have been brutally murdered by family members. Their crime? Trying to break free and live Western lifestyles. Within their communities, the killers are revered as heroes for preserving their family dignity. How can such a horrific and shockingly archaic practice be flourishing in the heart of Europe? The deaths have sparked momentary outrage, but will they change the grim reality for Muslim women?

Jihadi Kills British Tourist in Jordan

Another courageous fighter for Allah has attacked evil unarmed Western tourists in Jordan, whilst gleefully shouting "Allahu Akbar". Chalk up another infidel dead for the Religion of Peace™

A British man was killed today when a lone gunman shouting "Allahu Akbar!" ("God is Great") started firing at a group of Western tourists in the Jordanian capital Amman.

A government spokesman said that five other tourists - two British women, one Australian woman, one New Zealand woman and a Dutch man - were injured in the attack as well as their Jordanian tour guide.

Melanie Phillips - UK in Denial Over Terror

2006-09-04T21:48:00.000+10:00

Those following the global Jihad already knew that the UK is all but lost in the war on radical Islam. The British authorities are doing an amazing job in saving the public from the seething hatred of the hardcore Islamists they welcomed into their midst, and are largely being labelled agents of racism and oppression for their efforts. Without the power or resolve to tackle the root causes, one feels that the next 7/7 is only a matter of time. Its time for Britain to show some courage and snap out of the politically correct culture of denial.

Convert or Die - Spencer Responds

2006-09-03T23:17:00.000+10:00

Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch responds to pudgey Jihadist Adam Gadahns Al Qaeda convert-or-die video.

Thank you for the invitation, Adam, and for your thoughtfulness in extending to me in particular a personal invitation. But I'm afraid I must decline. While I appreciate that I would be your "brother in Islam" if I became a Muslim and turned my "sword against the enemies" of Allah, I cannot and will not give in to violent intimidation, come what may, and I do not want to live in a society that bows to such intimidation.

I believe that societies that respect the equality of rights before the law of all people, including women and religious minorities, as well as the freedom of conscience, are superior to those that do not. I hope that such societies will be able to summon the will to resist you and your "invitation" in all its implications before it is too late.

Meanwhile, Adam, I have a preliminary invitation of my own: I invite you to accept the Bill of Rights.

From Adams Wikipedia page it would seem that Al Qaeda have had to lower their US recuiting standards. I doubt we'll be seeing many Ivy Leaguers moving to Pakistan to marry an Afghani tent any time soon.

Hezbollahs Revolting Hero

2006-09-03T21:52:00.000+10:00

One of the key demands for the release of the Israeli prisoners kidnapped by Hezbollah is the release of a Lebanese prisoner Samir Qantar. Qantar is serving no less than 4 life sentences for his role in an attack that left 4 people dead, including two children.

Qantar's role in the attack on the coastal town of Nahariya 27 years ago would make this an especially bitter pill for Israelis to swallow. A policeman was killed and a family taken hostage when Qantar's group burst into their home.

Danny Haran, 28, was shot at close range in front of his terrified four-year-old daughter Einat, whose head was then smashed with a rifle butt.

The dead man's wife Smadar hid in a loft with their two-year-old daughter Yael, keeping a hand over her mouth to stop her crying out. But the girl suffocated, leaving Smadar Haran bereft of her husband and both daughters.

The fact that this man is a hero to Hezbollah and its supporters speaks volumes about their disregard for life. According to Nasrallah, "The Jews love life, so that is what we shall take away from them. We are going to win because they love life and we love death". Nice. But theres more. "It is an open war until the elimination of Israel and until the death of the last Jew on earth". I wonder if the London protesters that were waving Hezbollah flags and wearing their t-shirts were aware of what they were really supporting? And if they were, what does this say about them?

More Threats from Aussie Islamic Leaders

2006-09-03T21:39:00.000+10:00

The government is sticking to its guns on the issue of integrating with Australian society. Only now, they have called on Islamic leaders to publicly denounce terrorism and to ensure that radical Islam is not tolerated in their own communities. This was met with the following threat

Ali Roude, chairman of the Islamic Council of NSW, said the government needed to drop the unhelpful rhetoric and stop targeting Muslims.

“It's difficult to promote harmony and social calm when our politicians and leaders are constantly targeting the Muslim community,” Mr Roude said.

“The conduct and behaviour and the viciousness of the language that they have used can only lead to bigotry and hatred, this is not in the best interests of our nation.”

This idiot has really lost the plot. How can a call to integrate with your host nation and denounce terrorism, stated in the most politically correct of terms, be classed as a vicious attack? This response will rightfully create suspiscion amongst non muslims that they are not taking the threat of global jihadism seriously and are seeking to shift the blame from themselves and their own communities back on to the government and Australian people for radicalising their youth. Its the cult of the victim, play the blame game and shirk responsibility wherever possible.

British Islamic Racism and Hypocrisy

2006-09-03T20:27:00.000+10:00

A sad and tired British Islamic Rapper for Jihad by the name of Aki Nawaz rants about how the British are racist and how Britain is culturally worthless whilst completely missing the fact that his blatant stereotyping is, well, RACIST.

I would accuse the indigenous population of Britain of being far more guilty than the Muslim communities

I accuse Nawaz of being a hypocritic and a racist

now it's white Britain that has to go on its knees and beg for forgiveness

I call on the people of Britain to stand against Islamist thuggery and refuse to offer any apology of any kind, under any circumstances to Nawaz and the losers he claims to represent.

Your "way of life" is just not attractive to us so we "reject it"

Nawaz, your "way of life" is repulsive to us, so WE "reject it". Move to Saudi Arabia and STFU.

The Perils of Divorce

Poor Jordanian dropkick Nael Asad Y Abu-Rmaileh claims to be married to the wealthy WAG Elen Rives, despite Rives divorcing him 4 years ago. According to Nael

Under Sharia law in most Islamic countries, including the UAE, only males are allowed to initiate a divorce and, Nael points out, Elen could be stoned to death should he choose to make a complaint

But he wants to put their turbulent marriage behind him. He says: "I do want a divorce. I also want her to send me the European divorce papers."

Why Migrate Here?

2006-09-03T18:18:00.000+10:00

Another immigrant weighs in to the debate sparked by the PM's ever so dastardly insistence that people integrate in to Australian society

Usually, those threatened by people like Dr Ali - community groups, schools and governments - buckle and extend mealy-mouthed apologies for their imaginary cultural insensitivity.

This usually provokes the opposite effect, increasing the volume of vituperation.

Why, then, do the protesting groups come here if they dislike so much about the West in general?

Here, as in Britain and the US, Muslim organisations have deliberately installed themselves as permanent aliens and adapted a culture of constant carping about the majority, from whom they maintain their isolation with such bitter determination.

Language, culture and secular values unite the English-speaking West. These values have been an attraction to millions.

But not since World War II have those values been under such sustained attack.

This time,it's coming from the very migrants who might have been expected to show gratitude for being generously received in the nation of their choice - and finding solace in the protection of the system they say they despise.

Well said. The fact is, Australians will not bend over for outraged Islamists as the British or Europeans have. Wherever you are from, whatever cultural group you identify with, if you hate Australia, our culture and preach violence and racist hatred here then you can kindly fuck off elsewhere or get used to the criticism, there'll be plenty more.

here's a reminder of what our spineless politically correct British friends are prepared to put up with.

John Howard has sparked controversy amongst the Muslim community yet again with his insistence that immigrants to Australia integrate with Australian society and learn the language. Shock! Muslim leaders retaliate with thinly veiled threats of violence.

Dr Ali, of Howards Extremist Advisory Board, had this to say

We have already witnessed one incident in Sydney, in Cronulla. I don't want these scenes to be repeated because when you antagonise the younger generation they are bound to react

to the horrendous crime of suggesting that immigrants to Australia embrace the Australian culture and English language. Oh Howard, you fiend!

More Terror Arrests in the UK

2006-09-03T02:07:00.000+10:00

Britain has some very big problems at the moment.

The BBC's security correspondent, Gordon Corera, said the arrests were linked to allegations of "training camps" within the UK for people who want to engage in terrorist acts.

"This involves people suspected of facilitating training activity within the UK which might have allowed others to take part in terrorist activity," he said.

Police sealed off the restaurant while officers questioned customers

"Here in the UK it's more forms of bonding and getting groups together as well as radicalising those taking part. It's not necessarily military or terrorist training or blowing things up, it's more training in the sense of groups bonding and working together".

Anti Jewish Racism Rampant in Britain and Australia.

Scanning through the Belsan entry in Wikipedia I stumbled on an interesting fact that I wasn't previously aware of, that two of the hostage takers were British. A third British citizen was detained attempting to return to Britain on suspicion of being a key organiser.
