The Civilized Man vs. the MTA Savages. The targeting of civilians is savage. The relentless 60-year campaign of terror against the Jewish people is savage. The torture of hostage Gilad Shalit was savage. The bloody hacking to death of the Fogel family was savage. The Munich Olympic massacre was savage. The unspeakable torture of Ehud Goldwasser was savage. The tens of thousands of rockets fired from Gaza into southern Israel (into schools, homes, etc.) are savage. The vicious Jew-hatred behind this genocide is savage. The endless demonization of the Jewish people in the Palestinian and Arab media is savage. The refusal to recognize the state of Israel as a Jewish state is savage. The list is endless. Med student shot to death near Galleria. A 30-year-old student in the Texas Medical Center was shot to death driving in her car Monday [1/16/2012], yards away from her family's townhome near the Galleria area. Gelareh Bagherzadeh was studying molecular genetic technology at M.D. Anderson Cancer Center. She was of Iranian descent and was active in promoting Iranian women's rights, Houston Police Department spokesman Victor Senties said. The Editor says... Before it was sanitized by the Houston Chronicle, the headline was, "Iranian women's rights activist slain in car near Galleria". The URL shows some evidence of that, and if you need additional proof, I grabbed a screenshot from Lucianne. Was she 'executed'? Gelareh Bagherzadeh, 30, who lobbied on behalf of Iranian women's civil rights, was struck by a single bullet that entered the passenger door window as she talked on her cell phone with her ex-boyfriend. Her car then rolled into and a garage door yards from her parents' home in a townhouse community just southwest of Houston, Texas. The car's engine was still running when police found her body behind the wheel about 12:30 am on Monday. A New Sect of Honor Killing Enthusiasts. It is by now a familiar scenario for German police. The lifeless body of a teenaged Middle Eastern girl, missing since November. Discovered in a hidden spot with signs of a violent death. A suspected honor murder at the hand's of the family, some of whose members were already in custody. But this time the script is slightly different. While most honor murders in Germany originate within the country's four million strong Muslim community, the latest victim, Arzu O. from Remminghausen (German law does not allow for the release of the last name), 18, whose corpse was found last week, belonged to a little known Middle Eastern religious sect called Yazidism. And it is this sect's adherents who are becoming better known recently for their part in the nightmarish phenomenon of honor killings in Germany. When Muslim Moms Kill. A mother accused of murdering three of her daughters and her husband's first wife in an honor killing recently testified in an Ontario court in Canada. Tooba Mohammad Yahya, 41, is accused of conspiring with her husband, Mohammad Shafia, 58, and their eldest son, Hamed, 21, of running one of their family cars into a canal with their four relatives inside. Nigerian state under curfew as Islamist violence escalates. The Nigerian state of Adamawa has been placed under curfew as hundreds have fled their homes because of rising anti-Christian violence. The Islamist Boko Haram group is said to have killed up to 30 in the past two days. Muslim jailed for holding ex-wife prisoner on the toilet. A devout Muslim held his ex-wife prisoner on the toilet for an hour and physically assaulted her as punishment for wearing Western clothes. Khalique Miah has been jailed for 18 months for the attack on Zahanara Begum. She was on the loo when her former husband burst in dressed in black, wielding a hammer and referring to her underwear as 'Satan'. Ten Obvious Reasons Why Islam is NOT a Religion of Peace: [#1] 18,000 deadly terror attacks committed explicitly in the name of Islam in just the last ten years. (Other religions combined for perhaps a dozen or so). [#2] Muhammad, the prophet of Islam, had people killed for insulting him or for criticizing his religion. ... [#7] Islam is the only religion that has to retain its membership by threatening to kill anyone who leaves. Where are the animal rights activists now? They are all completely silent. Cowards! Palestinians Celebrate Eid Al-Adha By Slaughtering Animals. Palestinian men celebrate over slaughtered cow on the first day of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha on December 30, 2006, in the Rafah Refugee Camp, Gaza Strip. Santa killed by Muslim fanatics for being 'infidel' in Tajikistan. An outrageous incident occurred in Dushanbe, Tajikistan, where a group of religious fanatics killed Santa Claus. Parvis Davlatbekov wore as Santa Claus to congratulate his friends for the New Year. However, a group of fanatics attacked and stabbed him by crying 'infidel' in the street. The young man died on Monday [1/2/2012] without coming into consciousness. The Islamists' fires. As if further proof were needed of the fecklessness of Western civilization when confronting savagery, consider the destruction of the Institut d'Egypte in Cairo this month. Once again, the world watched helplessly while a horde of Muslim rioters wantonly annihilated a piece of history, and thus served warning that its cultural jihad against the West will advance until we stop it. The Institut was founded by Napoleon in 1798 during his campaign in Egypt and Syria. Polls Show Millions of Muslims Do Not Reject Suicide Bombings. Condemning the deadly attacks on Nigerian Christians on Christmas Day, Islamic organizations around the world called the atrocities un-Islamic, yet opinion polls tracking views on terrorism suggest that significant numbers of Muslims disagree. While scientific polling has found a decline in support for suicide bombings over the decade since 9/11 in most major Muslim countries, minorities of respondents — in some cases, large minorities — continue to regard them as justified "in defense of Islam." 25 dead in Christmas eve church bombings by Muslims in Nigeria. Islamic terrorists are claiming responsibility for a pair of church bombings in Nigeria that claimed 25 lives and injured dozens more. Pastor Yousef: Convert or die. Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani, the Iranian Christian cleric facing death for the crime of apostasy against an Islamic faith he never held, has been given a temporary stay of execution. Iran's top judge, Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani, instructed presiding Judge Ghazi Kashani to delay carrying out capital punishment for a year in order to give time for Mr. Nadarkhani to recant Christianity and become a Muslim. Belgian Grenade Attack Could Be Linked to Honor Killing Sentence. [Scroll down] Belgian authorities also deny it was a terrorist attack. However, yesterday [12/12/2011] a Belgian court in Mons sentenced four members of a family to prison sentences ranging from five to twenty-five years for the 2007 honor killing of Sadia Sheikh. ... It was the first time anyone in Belgium had been put on trial for committing an honor killing. Islam Was Not for Me. Islam was forced down the throats of Iranians with the sword of Allah. In my heart, I never considered myself a Muslim. However, I didn't reveal this until later in life for fear of retribution by radical Muslims. Sharia law stipulates that any Muslim who turns his back on Islam should be given a chance to revert to the faith. For an unrepentant male apostate, death is the proscribed punishment and life imprisonment for the female apostate. "Kill whoever changes his religion." [Sahih al-Bukhari 9:84:57] Islam considers an apostate as a person who unilaterally breaks the covenant he has made with the faith. An apostate is condemned as guilty of turning his back on Allah's immutable eternal religion. Children found in basement as police raid Islamic school. Forty-five students, among them young children, were discovered held in chains in a basement when police raided an Islamic seminary in Pakistan last night. The male students, some said to be as young as 12 but appearing even younger, were found in what amounted to a dungeon at the Madrassa Zakarya in the Sohrab Goth district of Karachi. How Obama Is Mishandling the Violence Wracking the Muslim World. This is a subject about which we're not supposed to speak. Or write. Well, I suppose we can allude. But not in detail. So, even though bloodletting is a daily occurrence in the orbit of Islam, discussing it is forbidden. Islamic Fear by the numbers. Western Europeans, who have grown up believing in free speech, living in their own free and open societies, are afraid to talk critically about Islam when Muslims make up less than 10% of the Western European population. So now think of what it must be like inside a Muslim society where essentially 100% of the population is Muslim. The fear factor must be at least ten times greater. Islam is Fear. Would you wear a T-shirt with a Mohammad cartoon printed on it? You might in Montana. Don't try it in Mecca. Why? Because, Islam trains a small number of its most devout believers it's OK to kill. And Islamic killers have been trained to kill anyone who insults Allah and/or Mohammad. In Montana you'd have a good chance none of these Islamic killers would see you. In Mecca you wouldn't last five minutes. One of Islam's killers would come from out of nowhere and kill you. It is that simple. Islam Pleads Guilty. Most of us still stubbornly refuse to admit what we already know about Islam: that it's a violent, malevolent religion whose adherents can't stop themselves from announcing to us their intentions to make war against us until they've either killed us or made us slaves. Most of us still stubbornly profess our belief in a "true" Islam, peace-loving, egalitarian, more or less an Arabian version of Christianity. Most of us reflexively channel all blame for the daily bombings, beheadings, murders, mutilations, honor killings, and sundry other savagery committed in the name of Allah away from "true" Islam onto what we're told is a distorted, hijacked Islam embraced by only a tiny fringe. Imam's on-air death threat 'not hate speech'. It was not hate speech when Swedish public service broadcaster Sveriges Radio featured a programme in which a Somali imam called for all converts from Islam to be killed, the Swedish Chancellor of Justice has ruled. Christian girl, 12, kidnapped, beaten until she converted to Islam. A 12-year-old Christian girl was kidnapped and repeatedly raped for eight months in Pakistan by a man who then falsified marriage documents with her, it was claimed today [10/13/2011]. The girl was lured on a shopping trip in Lahore by a friend, before she was driven 120 miles to Tandianwalla and raped by the friend's uncle in January this year. Targetting Darwish. Nonie Darwish, an ex-Muslim and an informed critic of Islam, has had her talks assailed by Brotherhood campus affiliates numerous times. In 2009, at Seattle University members of the Muslim Students Association did their best to disrupt a speech by Darwish. That same year at Boston University, a fire was set in a bathroom right before her speech to scuttle her presentation. Iranian actress to be lashed 90 times. An Iranian actress has been sentenced to a year in jail and 90 lashes for her role in a film about the limits imposed on artists in the Islamic republic. Iranian lashed 74 times for 'insult' to Ahmadinejad. An Iranian student activist has been lashed 74 times for insulting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Peyman Aref, a student of political science at Tehran University, was sentenced in March 2010 to a year in jail after being found guilty of propaganda against the regime for speaking to foreign media. Iranian Pastor Faces Execution for Refusing to Recant Christian Faith. An Iranian pastor who has refused to renounce his Christian faith faces execution as early as Wednesday after his sentence was upheld by an Iranian court. Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who maintains he has never been a Muslim as an adult, has Islamic ancestry and therefore must recant his faith in Jesus Christ, the 11th branch of Iran's Gilan Provincial Court ruled. The Killing of Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani. The 11th branch of Iran's Gilan Provincial Court upheld the apostasy conviction and execution sentencing of Christian Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani this week. Social media accounts like Twitter have swarmed support for Pastor Nadarkhani. But where is the critically needed support from nation states — let alone, from where the Vatican? State Media Reports Iranian Pastor Facing Execution for Rape, Not Religion. Iran state media put out a stunning report Saturday claiming that imprisoned Christian pastor Youcef Nadarkhani is facing the death sentence for rape and extortion, not for apostasy and refusing to renounce his religion, as his lawyer, human rights groups and Western news media have reported. ... FoxNews.com obtained a copy of the ruling and there is not a single mention of rape or extortion allegations. Pastor Yousef Nadarkhani. It is my moral obligation as a Jew to speak out on behalf of an Iranian Christian whom I have never met. Imprisoned since October 2009, Yousef Nadarkhani was first accused of apostasy against Islam by the Islamic Republic of Iran. In 2010 he was found guilty "and sentenced to death ... for abandoning the Islamic faith." Yet, according to the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 18 includes a "provision for the right to 'have or to adopt' a religion, which has been interpreted authoritatively by the UN Human Rights committee as including the right to change one's religion." Iranian Christian Pastor Facing False Charges. After months of threatening the execution of Youcef Nadarkhani, the Iranian government is backing away from putting the Christian pastor to death, and is claiming that news stories of the plan to execute him were "unsubstantiated." Yemen teen dies after hand cut off. A 15-year-old boy died in Yemen overnight after al-Qaeda militants severed his right hand as punishment for allegedly stealing electric cables, a medic said. Shariah court in Nigeria: Cut off their right hands. A Shariah court in northern Nigeria has ordered that two men have their right hands amputated for stealing a farmer's bull. One in five US Muslims knows of extremist support in community. As the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks approaches, 21 percent of respondents told a study they had detected "a great deal" or "a fair deal" of support for extremism in their areas. While the vast majority said that suicide bombings and other forms of violence against civilians to protect Islam were never justified, 19 percent of respondents did not agree with this statement. Riot at amusement park over 'no hijab' rule. Playland, a historic amusement park in Westchester County, N.Y, just outside New York City, is known for its good clean fun. It's perfect for a family outing. Or a date. You won't find any carnival-style freak shows at the county-owned park — well, at least not until Tuesday afternoon. That's when a large group of Muslims from New York City and neighboring Westchester County showed up to celebrate the end of Ramadan. Accept Jihad, Or Children Will Die. Just as Leftists for years have positioned every statist and socialist measure they've come up with as "for the children," now they're using a massacre of youths in Norway to try to end all resistance to the global jihad. Their pawn in this case is the mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik who went on a spree of carnage at a Norwegian youth camp Friday [7/22/2011], and couldn't be better positioned to advance the Leftist agenda if he had come from central casting. Muslim mob burns churches in Indonesia. A Muslim mob burned churches and clashed with police in Indonesia on Tuesday [7/26/2011] as they demanded the death penalty for a Christian man convicted of blaspheming against Islam, police said. Death sentence for Christian convert in Iran. Two Iranian Supreme Court justices have denied an appeal of Youcef Nadarkhani's December 5, 2010 death sentence for the uniquely Islamic "crime" of apostasy. Islam stands alone amongst all modern faiths, adamantly denying its votaries freedom of conscience, as guaranteed, for example, by Article 18 of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and insisting upon lethal punishment for "public" apostates, in full accord with the Sharia. U.S. Mosques: Terror Mills? A survey of 100 randomly selected mosques in America finds 81% of them feature Islamic literature -- not including the Quran and Sunnah — that advocates violence. And 85% of the imams running the mosques actively recommend these tracts. Only 19% of the mosques do not disseminate Islamic materials sanctioning jihadi violence, according to the peer-reviewed data collected by two scholars sponsored by the Washington-based Center for Security Policy. If accurate, this turns everything we've been told by Washington on its head. Sunlight On The American Mosque. I've lived through 9/11 and the 17,298 Islamic terror attacks since (as tabulated by the website thereligionofpeace.com). I've seen pictures of Muslims rampaging around the world over a cartoon. I also understand Islam's animating role in the terror and subversion designed to extend Islamic law (Shariah) to a point where an Islamic government, or caliphate, rules the world. But there is something transfixing about the new study, "Shari'a and Violence in American Mosques." The authors have amassed a solid bank of peer-reviewed data attesting to the presence and promotion of literature advocating violence in the majority of 100 randomly selected American mosques. The Coordinates of Radicalism. What is it that radicalizes Muslims, including American Muslims? Is it American foreign policy? Israeli "occupation" of the ancient Jewish territories of Judea and Samaria? Cartoons depicting the warrior-prophet as a warrior? Korans torched by obscure Florida pastors? The life of Osama bin Laden, or, perhaps, his death? Any of a thousand claimed slights, real or imagined, that purportedly provoke young Muslims to "conflagrate" — if we may borrow from the forgiving rationalizations of Faisal Rauf, would-be imam of the would-be Ground Zero mosque? Here is the unsettling but sedulously avoided truth: What radicalizes Muslims is Islam. Bin Laden's deputy says Muslims worldwide will destroy America. Osama bin Laden's deputy warned Wednesday [6/8/2011] that America faces not individual terrorists or groups but an international community of Muslims that seek to destroy it and its allies. New Al Qaeda Video: American Muslims Should Buy Guns, Start Shooting People. In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target major institutions and public figures. "What are you waiting for?" asks Gadahn in English, and then adds that jihadis shouldn't worry about getting caught, since so many have been released. Muslim Mob Besieges Egyptian Church. In the latest display of the intolerance of Islam, Muslims in Egypt are trying to block the reopening of a Coptic church until the church's dome and cross have been removed. St. Mary and St. Abraham Church in Ain Shams was closed by Egyptian State Security on November 22, 2008, when mob violence perpetrated by Muslims against the church reached the point where thousands of Muslims surrounded the building and pelted it with stones. Islam Is Peaceful? "Anyone who looks at Islam's history, both current, recent, and ancient history of Islam, who looks at Islam's prophet, Mohammed — who was a warrior — and who looks at Islam's core texts, anyone with a shred of intellectual honesty cannot say with a straight face that Islam is peace." Egyptian Muslims Torch 8 Christian Homes. A mob of nearly 200 Muslims torched eight Christian homes on Saturday morning in the Upper Egyptian village of Awlad Khalaf. The attack was initiated by a rumor that a house which is being built by Wahib Halim Attia will be turned into a church. Did Minnesota man kill his stepdaughter because she wasn't Muslim enough? A Minnesota man killed his 20-year-old stepdaughter in Michigan because she left home and wasn't following Islam, authorities said. Al Qaeda Leader Vows Revenge. A leader of the al Qaeda offshoot that U.S. officials have called the greatest threat to the U.S. vowed in a message posted on Islamist websites Wednesday to take revenge against the U.S. for the death of Osama bin Laden, saying that jihad would only intensify and that Americans would come to "wish for the days of Osama." Imam says Obama is an apostate who must be executed. How's that Cairo speech aftermath workin' for you, President Obama? All those pretty words, all those flowery phrases, all those good intentions gone. Poof. Vanished. Turns out the Muslim world hates Barack Obama every bit as much as they hated George Bush. Dearborn, Michigan: America's First Sharia-Compliant Muslim Enclave? Yesterday, (4/29/11) a Muslim mob of 50, disturbingly reminiscent of their co-religionists across a vast swath of official Islamdom, breached the security cordon at the City Hall in Dearborn, Michigan separating them from their speechifying nemesis, Pastor Terry Jones, ["]...breaking a barricade, throwing water bottles and shoes.["] Fortunately, ["]Riot police restored order within minutes and took at least two people into custody.["] Muslims don't need excuses for killing. Muslims don't need excuses for routinely bombing churches or synagogues or temples, often with people in them, killing those who are not Muslims or forcibly converting them, practicing apartheid by expelling those they haven't murdered or confining them to certain jobs, certain neighborhoods, extra taxes, persecuted as lowly dhimmis (low lifes, non Muslims). And all without retaliation by their fellow Christians, Muslims, Jews, Hindus in other parts of the world... No Exit. The nut of the dilemma is captured in a word, Islam: literal and figurative submission. All notions of "peace" or co-existence are derivatives of submission. And the coin of compromise is Western values and law, not Islamic dogma or doctrine. The conflict between the West and Islam is a strategic zero-sum game. If we continue to delude ourselves about the nature of this struggle, we do so at our peril. Angry Muslims Kill 9 People and Torch Girls School Over FL Koran Abuse. Nine people were killed and a girls school was torched today when Muslim radicals protested in Kandahar. They said they were angry over the Koran burning in Florida... So they torched a girls school? Prosecutor: Evidence links bakery, Bailey killing. A wealth of ballistic evidence links the slayings of an Oakland newspaper editor and two other men to Your Black Muslim Bakery, whose former leader ordered all three killings but never pulled the trigger himself, a prosecutor told jurors Monday. Oakland Post Editor Chauncey Bailey, 57, was shot dead as he walked to work in downtown Oakland because he was planning to write a story about the now-defunct black empowerment group's financial problems... Christian Convicted of Blasphemy Found Dead in Karachi Jail. Qamar David, a Pakistani Christian serving a life sentence for blasphemy against Islam, was found dead in his Karachi jail cell yesterday [3/15/2011]. David, in prison since 2002, was sentenced for allegedly sending derogatory text messages about the Prophet Mohammad, though his lawyer maintains that the charges were motivated by a business rivalry. He was 55 years old and the father of four sons. Authorities report that he died of a heart attack, but it is widely suspected that he was murdered by radical Muslims... Why They Celebrate Murdering Children. Do you think the State Department noticed that no one in Arizona, Mexico, or even Mars took to the streets to celebrate the shooting of Gabrielle Giffords? No one seemed to think it was a "natural" act — the Islamic term du jour to rationalize the throat-slitting massacre of a sleeping Jewish family: 36-year-old Udi Fogel, his 35-year-old wife, Ruth, and, yes, their three children: 11-year-old Yoav, 4-year-old Elad, and Hadas, their 3-month-old baby. There had been about a week between this most hideous Muslim barbarity and ... well, the last hideous Muslim barbarity. On that one, the Obama administration could not bring itself to label as "terrorism" a Kosovar jihadist's gory attack on American airmen in Germany. What if They Are Already Here? A very long time ago — back in the last century, when I worked for men like Alexander Haig and Ronald Reagan — the United States government knew of at least three terrorist sleeper cells on our soil. The most famous of these was in St. Louis, Missouri, where Zeit Isa, a member of the Abu Nidal organization — one of the most lethal of that time — was quietly running a convenience store. He was a Palestinian who had gone to Puerto Rico and married a local woman (even though he already had a wife in the old country). They produced two girls, and one night the older one came home late and her father stabbed her to death as her mother held her down. The FBI got the whole thing on audio tape. This led to the trial of 4 members of the group in the mid-nineties, which exposed the Abu Nidal sleeper network to public view. Keith Ellison's Taqiyya. [Scroll down] The Koran's "verses of peace," as cited by Ellison, and many other Muslim and non-Muslim apologists, most notably verse 2:256, "There is no compulsion in religion," were all abrogated by the so-called verses of the sword. These abrogating verses of the sword recommend beheading or otherwise murdering and mutilating non-Muslims, and Muslim apostates. According to classical Muslim Koranic commentators verse 9:5 (perhaps the most infamous verse of the sword), "Slay the idolators wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush...", for example, cancels 124 verses that promote patience and toleration. Thousands of Muslims torch Christian homes, churches in Egypt. According to the Assyrian International News Agency, several thousand Muslims have attacked Christian houses and places of worship in a town 30 miles from Cairo. The fate of the clerics who worked at the church is unknown — they may have been detained as hostages or burned to death in the fire. The violence was the result of a Christian dating a Muslim woman. Pakistan's only Christian minister assassinated over blasphemy row. Pakistan's only Christian minister Shahbaz Bhatti was shot dead today [3/2/2011] after pushing for the reform of harsh blasphemy laws that impose the death penalty for insulting Islam. The assassination comes just a fortnight after Mr Bhatti, Minister for Minorities, said he was prepared to die for his beliefs following a series of death threats. Another alleged blasphemer reportedly killed in Pakistan. Another alleged blasphemer has become a victim of Pakistan's controversial religious laws, media reported on Saturday. The killing occurred on Friday [3/4/2011], two days after the assassination of the minority affairs minister who had criticised the nation's blasphemy laws. How's That Religion of Peace Doing These Days? [Scroll down] Stoning continues to be prevalent in Islamic lands. In August of 2010, the Afghan Taliban publicly stoned to death two people because they wanted to marry each other but the woman had already been promised to a relative. The 19-year old woman was forced to wear her burqa to her execution. This is only one of the many honor killings emblematic of Muslim-on-Muslim crimes. Thus, "in the last thirty years, the Afghan and Pakistani Taliban, the Turks, the Saudis, the Iranians, and the Egyptians have all engaged in ... stonings, beheadings, hangings, burying young girls alive, amputations, nose and ear chopping, floggings, [and] acid thrown in the faces of young girls for improper veiling." Islam's ultimate goal is world domination. Muslim Cleric Plans White House Protest in Attempt to Spread Sharia Law. A Muslim cleric who called Americans "the biggest criminals" during a recent interview has announced he will hold a protest outside the White House, according to the Daily Mail. Anjem Choudary, who once said "the flag of Islam will fly over the White House," says he will lead a demonstration rallying Muslims to establish Sharia law across the United States. Four men slashed teacher's face 'for teaching other religions to Muslim girls'. Four men launched a horrific attack on a teacher in which they slashed his face and left him with a fractured skull because they did not approve of him teaching religion to Muslim girls. Sharia: Coming Soon, To A Venue Near You. This is the kind of appalling news story that we associate with places where Islam holds sway: ["]Four men launched a horrific attack on a teacher in which they slashed his face and left him with a fractured skull because they did not approve of him teaching religion to Muslim girls.["] Sounds like the kind of thing that happens in Pakistan, doesn't it? Or Iran, possibly. Only the teacher's name is Gary Smith, and he taught at the Central Foundation Girls' School in Bow, east London. Muslim mob burns, ransacks churches in Indonesia. A Muslim mob burned churches and clashed with police in Indonesia on Tuesday [2/8/2011] as they demanded the death penalty for a Christian man convicted of blaspheming against Islam, police said. Two days after a Muslim lynch mob killed three members of a minority Islamic sect, crowds of furious Muslims set two churches alight as they rampaged in anger over the prison sentence imposed on defendant Antonius Bawengan, 58. Radical Islam or Mainstream Islam? [Scroll down] Islam is not a religion. Islam (according to Islamic scholars) is a military, economic, and political ideology that uses 'religion' to carry out their ultimate goal of world domination (again according to their own leading scholars both in the U.S. and Middle East). 'Religion of peace' launching 'ferocious' attacks. It was only six days after the 9/11 attacks that President Bush described Islam as a religion of peace, specifically saying, "Islam is peace," but the Religion of Peace website reports that for 2010, there were 1987 jihad attacks in 46 nations resulting in 9,175 deaths and 17,436 injured, according to a report from Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin. So, Should We Ban The Koran? Hundreds of Islamic terrorists say they were motivated to become murderers by The Koran and incitement from a few radical Muslim clerics. That's a fact, where you like it or not. Clearly, then, the liberals should — if they have any sense of logic — begin their campaign by demanding the bookstores stop selling The Koran, universities stop teaching courses on Islam, and imams tone down their exhortations. That isn't going to happen, because the liberals aren't really interested in curbing hate speech. The Greatest Story Never Told. In all the reviews and lists of the most important events of 2010, one story of devastating importance was scarcely mentioned: that of the persecution of Christians throughout the world, particularly in majority Muslim countries. Christian persecution has been on the rise for years, but it seemed to reach a new level of intensity in 2010. In fact, it's not an exaggeration to suggest that Christians in countries such as Iraq, Lebanon and Egypt now confront the prospect of extinction at the hands of radical Islam. Muslim scholars praise killer of Pakistan governor. More than 500 Muslim scholars are praising the man suspected of killing a Pakistani governor because the politician opposed blasphemy laws that mandate death for those convicted of insulting Islam. Islam's blasphemy murders. The Obama administration has declared a "struggle against violent extremism," but it has little to say when it comes to extremism practiced by governments. Blasphemy laws in Pakistan and Afghanistan are being used to sanction judicial murder in the name of Islam. The United States refuses to condemn these practices, apparently believing this would amount to an unwarranted imposition of American values on foreign customs. Even in these backward countries, however, there are brave political leaders who are standing up to legal persecution. Radical Islam vs. Christianity: Over the past several years, Christians have endured bombings, murders, assassinations, torture, imprisonment and expulsions. These anti-Christian pogroms culminated recently with the brutal attack on Our Lady of Salvation, an Assyrian Catholic church in Baghdad. Al Qaeda gunmen stormed the church during Mass, slaughtering 51 worshippers and two priests. Father Wassim Sabih begged the jihadists to spare the lives of his parishioners. They executed him and then launched their campaign of mass murder. The Persecution of Christians in the Middle East. At Saints Church in Alexandria, Egypt, 21 Coptic Christians were killed and nearly 100 wounded at a New Year's Mass bombing. "The last thing I heard was a powerful explosion and then my ears went deaf," Marco Boutros, 17, said from his hospital bed where he was being treated for wounds. "All I could see were body parts scattered all over, legs and bits of flesh." The Targeting Of Christians. If further evidence is needed of the nature of the enemy the United States and what's left of Western civilization faces, it can be found in the ruins of the Talbiya church in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria. In a terrorist attack one minute after midnight, 21 Christians attending a New Year's Mass were killed and 97 people, mostly Christians, were injured after a car bomb detonated outside the Coptic church. The pastor of the church told the Malta Times, "I was inside the church and heard a huge explosion. People's bodies were in flames." Sudan islamic whipping video stirs outcry. Many people have responded with anger and disgust to the video about corporal punishment in Sudan published by Radio Netherlands Worldwide. The YouTube film clip shows a young woman being whipped in public by two police officers in Khartoum. Man sentenced to be blinded with acid by Iranian court. Iran's supreme court has upheld a sentence of blinding with acid for a man who blinded his lover's husband, under the Islamic "eye-for-an-eye" justice code, a government daily said today. Muslims warn of anarchy if Christian mother pardoned. Pakistani Muslims have threatened anarchy if the Government pardons a Christian mother sentenced to death for blasphemy, calling hundreds of protesters onto the streets. It Just Isn't Christmas without a Muslim Bombing. [Scroll down] While we may go on denying it, for Muslims this is a religious war. And what better target for terror, than an infidel's religious event? The clergy at interfaith conferences may yammer on about how we're all the children of God, but Muslims know better. They are the slaves of Allah and we are heretics and idol worshipers. It's their duty to fight us, until we submit and accept Muslim rule. The more we resist, the more they're obligated to kill us until we give in and there's a mosque on every corner and the Koran replaces the Constitution. Time To Profile Terrorists At US Airports. Today's threat comes almost exclusively from militant-Islamic males between about 18 and 35 who hail from the Middle East and predominantly Muslim African and south-Asian nations. This profile was not drawn by anti-Muslim bigots, nervous Jews, or paranoid Southern Baptists. The terrorists themselves created this profile. Aviation has obsessed them for years. "Bring down their airplanes," demanded Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, who inspired the 1993 World Trade Center attack. "Slaughter them on land, sea and air." The Murderers of Christianity. Sunday, on the eve of All Saints' Day, Nov. 1, 2010, the faithful gathered at the Assyrian Catholic Church of Our Lady of Salvation in Baghdad. As Father Wassim Sabih finished the mass, eight al-Qaida stormed in, began shooting and forced him to the floor. As the priest pleaded that his parishioners be spared, they executed him and began their mission of mass murder. When security forces broke in, the killers threw grenades to finish off the surviving Christians and detonated explosive-laden vests to kill the police. The toll was 46 parishioners and two priests killed, 78 others wounded, many in critical condition after losing limbs. The Myth of the Moderate Muslim. So where are the Moderate Muslims? ... In Saudi Arabia a person caught in public wearing a crucifix on a chain can expect to end up in extensive care. Where are Saudi Arabia's Moderate Muslims? In Indonesia, Christian churches are being stoned and torched because a Muslim girl has been taking catechism lessons in preparation to being baptized as a Catholic. A mob beat 20 members of a Batak Christian Protestant Church because "they did not have the proper permits to worship." Where were the Moderate Muslims? Freedom vs. Sharia Law. Sharia law is the Islam doctrine of Allah ruling over everything including legal, political and military doctrine. Sharia law is incompatible to free or thinking people. What the Obama Administration and Muslims will not tell Americans is that the ultimate goal of Islam is to take over the world and replace representative, constitutional governments with Sharia law. Under Sharia law, freedom as we know it would be put to the Islamic sword. What the free world faces is an insidious, violent movement that respects nothing but their own revolutionary ideology: world domination. Who's Afraid of Muslims? NPR has shown itself to be afraid of Muslims — far more afraid than Juan Williams, and hypocritical in a way that Williams never was. What's worse, NPR has acted on that fear. In 2006, a Danish cartoonist made drawings of the prophet Mohammed with a bomb tucked into the prophet's turban. Adherents of the religion of peace then launched a campaign of terrorism worldwide, burning embassies, and violently protesting. The artist himself was nearly killed by an axe-wielding Muslim. NPR deliberately refused to publish those cartoons. ... PBS can't base newsroom decisions on fear, and then fire Williams for sharing in an identical fear which he does not act on. Defeating Militant Islamist Ideology. Al-Qaida's rage predates any offense at Danish cartoons of Muhammad, protests over the ground zero mosque or goofy sectarian grandstanders in Florida threatening to burn the Quran. Al-Qaida's dedication to the destruction of its ideological enemies — including its Muslim enemies — lies at the organization's malign spiritual and savage philosophical core. Islamophobia, Cartoon-O-Phobia and Equalityphobia. [Scroll down] And then there's the case of Revathi Massosai, a true example of what Muslim tolerance holds for the kind of "multi-religious" society that those "experts in Islamic studies" would love to inflict on us. Revathi Massosai, a Hindu whose parents had converted to Islam, was considered a Muslim under Malaysian law, despite the fact that she had been raised and was a Hindu. When she tried to get the government to recognize that fact, the Islamic authorities put her into an "Islamic Re-education Camp". There she was forced to wear a burqa, read Muslim prayers and eat beef. Since then she has been prevented from living with her husband and her daughter has no birth certificate. Nor is her case unique. Families have been broken up, children have been seized, even bodies have been dragged out of funeral homes because of Malaysia's Islamic law. Death toll rises to 58 in Iraqi jihad attack on church. The mass-murderers say that this was a counterattack in the Church's alleged war against Islam. Yet notice how CNN's headline calls it an "Iraq church standoff," giving no hint that this was a gratuitous Islamic jihad attack. Islamic flag over the White House. Islamists say the Koran is destined to rule America. In fact, the Muslim takeover of the White House is not just an unfolding action plan but a directive from Muhammad himself. In an interview Sunday on ABC's "This Week," British radical Muslim activist Anjem Choudary made clear what he and his Islamist brothers have planned for the West. Intolerance, history, fear and the facts about Islam. [Scroll down] You can find evidence of the impulse to conquer and subjugate infidels in the very beginnings of the [Muslim] religion, as Muhammad fought neighboring Arab tribes; in the era of the great caliphate that spread across northern Africa and into Spain; and in the continuing push of Islam into Europe and into Southeast Asia. Indeed, to obscure the threat, you literally have to blot out hundreds of years of history that provide clear evidence of the imperialist ambitions of Islam, and more importantly the blood-thirsty willingness to sacrifice both fellow Muslims and us infidels in the pursuit of worldwide submission to sharia, the so-called law of God. Muslim Hate Crimes. Facts are facts. Muslims in the Middle East have zero respect for other religions. In the Saudi Arabia city of Mecca, all other religions beside Islam are banned. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are squelched and outlawed in the name of Islam. It appears many in the Muslim world are stuck in year 4. Christian churches are routinely burned, bombed and destroyed in the Middle East. Christians and people of other faiths are beaten and killed by Muslims with no fear of prosecution from Muslim-controlled courts. Ah yes, Islam — that religion of peace. Crawling Out from under the Rauf. [Scroll down] The objective of the stealth jihadists and the Muslim Brotherhood proxies in the U.S. (CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MAS, MSA, et al.) is to impose Islam and Sharia on the U.S., and so it is with Ground Zero Mosque Imam [Feisal Abdul] Rauf. Rauf is mainstreaming the Sharia and the jihad ideology. And in suggesting that those of us defending American freedom and opposing his Ground Zero mosque are "extremists," he is trying to place 70% of Americans squarely on the same moral playing field as the Muslim terrorists who flew planes into buildings and have since committed close to 20,000 Islamic attacks of violent jihad across the world. The Endless Wars of Islam. Islam emerged from what is modern day Saudi Arabia in the 7th century, and never looked back. Muslim armies swept across North Africa and invaded Catholic Spain, destroying or converting the Christian communities along the way. They turned churches into mosques, and made Islam the official religion. Muslim armies also took over the Holy Land, destroyed the last non-Islamic Persian empire, and moved into Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). By the 16th century, Islam had destroyed the Christian Byzantine Empire, had taken over Constantinople, and had turned the Hagia Sophia — the most beautiful church in Christendom — into a mosque. A century later, Muslim armies were outside the gates of Vienna. While the years have passed and the names of the armies and countries have changed, Islam's war against the rest of us continues at full speed. Thirteen dead in Kashmir, Christian school torched. Indian police shot dead 13 people in Kashmir on Monday [9/13/2010] as stone-throwing rioters defied curfews and torched a Christian school in a surge of anger stoked by the desecration of the Koran. Gaza father torches son. A father from Jabaliya refugee camp in north Gaza killed his son by setting fire to him because the boy refused to help the family pick olives, police said. The 9th Anniversary of 9/11 Begs An In-Depth Examination Of The Koran. According to a Koranic scholar, Moorthy Muthuswamy, about 61 percent of the contents of the Koran speak ill of unbelievers or call for their violent conquest while at best only 2.6 percent of the verses show goodwill toward humanity. About 75 percent of the Prophet Muhammad's biography, or Sira, consists of jihad waged on unbelievers. New Wilders Death Threat. Right-wing Dutch politician Geert Wilders is in trouble again. A well-known radical Australian cleric is calling for his death by "beheading" following comments Wilders made to Australian television in which he described Islam as "retarded" and "violent." Muslim cleric calls for beheading of Dutch politician. A well-known Australian Muslim cleric has called for the beheading of Dutch anti-Islamic politician Geert Wilders, a newspaper said on Friday [9/3/2010]. Don't Make Me Behead You! The flim flam imam ought to run for congress. It's just a matter of time before the Democrats recruit him. He's a natural master of doublespeak. Rauf issued his warning about inflaming the normally peaceful and tolerant Muslim world right after assuring us that had he the slightest inkling that building a Victory Mosque at Ground Zero would cause upset, he never would have proposed such a thing. Of course, if the Victory Mosque doesn't go forward, we will be severely punished. Be nice to the jihads and maybe they'll behead you last. Obama says enemy is not Islam. President Barack Obama is appealing for religious tolerance, reminding Americans that the "overwhelming majority" of Muslims around the world are peace-loving people. Christian worshippers attacked in Indonesia. Assailants stabbed a Christian worshipper in the stomach and pounded a minister in the head with a wooden plank as they headed to morning prayers Sunday outside Indonesia's capital. Radical Muslim Goes After Rifqa's Attorney. There is more fall-out from the Rifqa Bary case. Rifqa is the young girl who converted to Christianity and fled her home in Ohio on the grounds that she feared for her safety due to her parents' Islamic views. Just weeks ago Rifqa turned 18, and we saw a great victory when her freedom and status were secured as a "Permanent Legal Resident" in the U.S. Now comes word from one of her lawyers... What the Burning Quran Issue Says about Us. Is it just me, or does Islam's repeated threats of violence and mayhem at every provocation — real or imagined — strike anybody else as the actions of a spoiled child's tantrums? And if they're such a religion of peace, what is it we have to fear from their tantrums in the first place? The Terror Imams and Their Mosques & Schools. Whatever we may think about Imam Rauf and his Manhattan project, sooner or later we are going to have to face a serious problem: what to do about the hundreds of radical mosques in this country. It's a serious problem because, as Bernard Henri Levi wrote some years ago, every terrorist has a mosque. Indeed, some became terrorists because of what they were told in mosques. Many young, alienated Muslims found the meaning of life by joining jihad, and they were encouraged to become terrorists by radical imams and ayatollahs. GZ Mosque Supporter Can't Bring Himself to Call Hamas a Terrorist Organization. Like his friend Imam Feisal Rauf, Imam [Dawoud] Kringle won't answer the question. I pressed him, pointing out that it is a very simple question. And it is: Quite apart from the fact that Hamas is formally designated as a terrorist organization under U.S. law, Hamas's own charter makes abundantly clear — indeed, wears like a badge of honor — that Hamas exists solely for the purpose of driving Israel out of Palestine by violent jihad. Yet the imam cannot bring himself to say Hamas is a terrorist organization. Women and Children Die First. Terrorist-based Islamic cultures that use women and children as human shields give new meaning to the concept of "women and children first." In Afghanistan, individuals "accused of collaboration" with the NATO forces or with the Karzai government are immediately, and without question, executed. "Schools have been closed or burned for being un-Islamic; schoolgirls have had acid thrown in their faces, and women have been confined to home unless accompanied by a male relative." America to Be Reviewed by Thugs of U.N. Human Rights Council. [Scroll down] The [United Nations Human Rights] Council also comprises Malaysia, Mauritania, Uganda, Angola, and Qatar. In Uganda, "wife-beating [is] a husband's prerogative." Monitoring of internet chat rooms and widespread rape of inmates occurs in Angola, while "in Malaysia, religious authorities arrest 'deviants' in order to return them to the 'true path of Islam.'" In Qatar, "the law calls for 10 year sentences for individuals proselytizing anything but Islam, [and] conversion away from Islam is a capital offense." Please Read 'The Grand Jihad'. Andy McCarthy is no conspiracy theorist, but that doesn't keep him from recognizing and warning us about the common goals of the Islamists and the hard left, both of whom pose a serious, active threat to America's freedom. ... Islamists are not some fringe group of Muslims who have hijacked the religion. They are "very mainstream," and their theocratic goals are clearly based on Islamic scripture. Obama Is Colluding with a New Fascist Imperialism. Islamic practice has always required mosques to have the highest towers in any subjugated city. No Jews or Christians were ever allowed to build higher places of worship, to ride higher (on horses or mules), or even to raise their heads higher while walking the streets than any Muslim. If you were a Jew or a Christian, you would duck your head deep down as you passed a Muslim, who was allowed to spit on you at will. As recently as the Ottoman Empire (crumbled in 1917), all dhimmis were unceremoniously beaten to the ground if they dared to raise their heads higher than a passing Muslim. Islam Means the End of Religious Freedom. [Scroll down] Where is the religious freedom in the Muslim world? ... Why are churches firebombed in Malaysia because Christians presumed to use the word Allah? Why are non-Muslims forbidden to enter the city of Mecca, from which Jews and Christians were ethnically cleansed by Mohammed? Why are Coptic Christians being oppressed and humiliated by the Egyptian government? Why are Muslims murdering Buddhist teachers in Thailand? Barack Obama, Apologist-in-Chief. Non-Muslims are not allowed any place of worship in Saudi Arabia, they cannot even approach within miles of the cities of Medina and Mecca. Imagine the outcry if Muslims were prevented entering, say, St. Peter's or Westminster Abbey. Obama Apologizes for Stupid Americans' Opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque. Over the past 100 years, America has brought peace and prosperity to billions around the world, while at the same time Muslims have been slaughtering and enslaving their neighbors, especially women, wholesale. Talk about the war that never ends. Shia vs. Sunni violence has been going on for centuries and, by the looks of Iraq, will continue for centuries more. Losing Their Religion. Given that the penalty for leaving Islam — or even criticizing it — can be death, we may be mistaking deeply rooted fear for deeply rooted faith. Moreover, the fact that Islam prescribes such harsh penalties for doubters suggests that the faith itself is not intrinsically convincing. As the Ayatollah Khomeini once said, "People cannot be made obedient except with the sword." Any religion that needs so many external incentives — swords behind you, and virgins in your future — cries out to be questioned. Mike Tyson goes on Mecca pilgrimage. Former boxing champion Mike Tyson, who converted to Islam while in jail in the 1990s, is visiting the Muslim holy cities of Mecca and Medina on pilgrimage. The Editor says... Religion of peace? What does Mike Tyson do for a living? Fatwa Issued Against 'Draw Mohammed Day' Cartoonist. The Islamists mean to censor us one way or another: if not from fear of retaliation, then by retaliation. Shut your mouth, still your pens, stop thinking, or we will do it for you. Permanently. Molly Norris, mild-mannered cartoonist, started a fire she cannot put out. Saudi couple "hammer 24 nails" into Sri Lankan maid. A Saudi couple tortured their Sri Lankan maid after she complained of a too heavy workload by hammering 24 nails into her hands, legs and forehead, officials said on Thursday [8/26/2010]. Tortured Maid to Have Surgery to Remove 24 Nails. A Saudi couple tortured their Sri Lankan maid after she complained of a too heavy workload by hammering 24 nails into her hands, legs and forehead, officials said on Thursday [8/26/2010]. New hit song for Palestinian children: When we die as martyrs. An Arabic children's choir has been racking up views all over the world with the new YouTube hit "when we die as martyrs, we will go to heaven." Man, woman stoned to death in Afghanistan for adultery: Taliban. A man and woman who were accused of carrying on an adulterous affair in Afghanistan have been stoned to death. The barbaric act is the latest in a string of archaic sentences handed down by the Taliban, which practices a strict adherence to Islamic law. Taliban Executes 7-Year-Old on Suspicion of Spying, Reports Say. Taliban militants in Afghanistan executed a seven-year-old boy on suspicion of spying for the U.S.-allied government, according to local reports Wednesday [6/9/2010]. The execution, which has not been confirmed by the extremist organization, was carried out in the southern Helmand province, government spokesman Daoud Ahmadi told The Times of India. The boy's relatives brought the incident to the government's attention, the newspaper said. Taliban Hangs 7-Year-Old Boy in Grisly Warning. As thousands of American troops pour into southern Afghanistan, insurgents have launched a vicious offensive against the Afghans supporting the surge. In the last day a suicide bomber blew himself up inside a wedding hosted by an anti-Taliban tribal leader, and insurgents publicly hanged someone who they labeled a spy for local troops. The Afghan accused of spying was a 7-year-old boy. An exceptional woman's rejection of Islam. Ayaan Hirsi Ali ... boldly and absolutely rejected the Muslim faith in which she grew up. She sought asylum in Holland and became, for a time, a politician there. She collaborated with Theo Van Gogh, who was later murdered by an Islamist fanatic, on a film called Submission, about Islam's oppression of women. For her apostasy, a capital offence in the eyes of all the schools of Islamic law, she is threatened with death. She has to have personal protection at all times. Hand cut off for exam question. Two Indian men were arrested on Monday over an attack on a college teacher who had his hand cut off for setting an exam question that allegedly insulted Muslims, police said. TJ Joseph, 52, had his right arm severed at the wrist as he was returning home from church with his mother and sister on Sunday [7/4/2010], and has since undergone an operation to have the limb sown [sic] back on. Wrong Rights. It's been a rough seventeen months for Americans whose calling is to fight for the rights of people who've been stripped of them by force — young men and women beaten to death in full view of the world by the agents of their oppressors for daring to demand that their votes be counted; others hacked to death with the complicity of the autocrats in power over them for having been born the wrong color or to the wrong tribe; girls subjected to the lash, or, worse, murdered by their own mothers, fathers, or brothers for appearing in public in the wrong company; believers imprisoned for professing faith in the wrong god or the wrong political system; non-believers sentenced to death for "wronging" a wrathful, vengeful religion. Peaceful, Humanitarian, Civilian Flotilla Had an Arsenal. New footage shows the weapons captured from the "aid" boat Mavi Marmara, which was the scene of an attempted lynching of IDF commandos. Lots of knives, gas masks, body armor, night-vision equipment, homemade slingshots with "Hezbollah" and "Hamas" written on them (arts and crafts are a good cure for boredom on the high seas), and my personal favorite, electric chop saws, which were used to cut off sections of the ship's railings so they could be used as clubs. Flotilla's Goal Was Not Humanitarian. On CNN earlier this week, American Edward Peck, an activist who sailed with the Free Gaza Movement flotilla, asserted, "The purpose of the movement was humanitarian." Sorry, but the video of so-called peace activists clubbing Israeli soldiers and tossing one onto a lower deck didn't exactly exude the Kumbaya spirit to me. The Muslim Brotherhood's Flotilla. Western press accounts have enumerated the many left-wing human rights activists who were among the Gaza-bound flotilla's passengers earlier this week. But there were other, more conspicuous passengers aboard the ships. The Muslim Brotherhood, in particular, was well-represented. In fact, the more one looks into the details of the flotilla the more it becomes clear that the Brotherhood used the humanitarian mission for its own purpose, namely, to assist its Palestinian branch — Hamas. Are Honor Killings Domestic Terrorism? Fox News had convened a panel to discuss the relationship between "faith and terrorism." We began by discussing the interview with Hussein Ibish, formerly the director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, now the executive director of the Foundation for Arab American Leadership, a non-member organization. Ibish made a series of false claims, all of which sounded reasonable, "fair," and logical, and he did so in excellent American English. For example, he said that Muslims were persecuted by pagans when Mohammed was alive and that's why there are some Qu'ranic verses that encourage or permit violence. Poppycock! Muslims under Mohammed were busy raping, pillaging, plundering, and enslaving the so-called pagans, trying to convert them; Mohammed and his soldiers genocidally slaughtered the Jewish tribes of Arabia. So what Ibish is really saying is that when Muslims cannot convert another faith group to Islam, Muslims feel "persecuted" and therefore resort to violence. More about honor killings. Islam: The Great Pandemic. According to the Quran — the holiest book of Islam — Allah commanded Muhammad to instill fear into unbelievers. ... From what we know of Muhammad, is it unreasonable to conclude that he himself would be a member of al-Qaeda if he were alive today? Obama Ignores Islamic Violations of Religious Freedom. Has the latest annual report from the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) caused any cognitive dissonance in Washington? ... Islam is supposed to be a religion of peace and tolerance. Isn't that what Barack Obama has been telling us (and George Bush before him)? The report was a bracing dose of reality to dispel this rosy view — and yet another reminder of how Obama's view of Islam and Muslim countries is unrealistic and damaging, and of what it might take to end the jihad against America and the West. The Day Somali Music Died. Islamist insurgents have ordered Somali radio stations to stop playing music, a ban that went into effect last Tuesday [4/13/2010]. This order follows the Islamists' ban on musical ringtones, movies, men without beards, football, women's beauty salons, and bras. Those not adhering to the new ban risk a grave threat to their physical well-being, which includes getting assassinated or undergoing Sharia-based punishments. Such punishments include having your limbs amputated, your eyes gauged out, your tongue cut out, and your ears cut off. Eternal Islamic Enmity toward the Jews: Islam is the only major religion in the world that does not adhere to the Golden Rule to "love they neighbor as thyself" or "do unto others what you would have others do unto you." Instead, the Koran exhorts Muslim to "slay the unbelievers wherever they find them," "not take non-Muslims for friends" and "when ye meet unbelievers, smite at their necks." Mohammed, whose very actions define morality for Muslims, encouraged his followers to deceive kuffars, or non-believers. Islamic doctrine explicitly supports the killing, insulting, torturing, robbing, beheading, enslaving, pillorying, and raping of non-Muslims. But We're Still Gonna Kill You. Not long after the Ayatollah Khomeini announced his fatwa against Salman Rushdie, the British novelist suddenly turned up on a Muslim radio station in West London late one night and told his interviewer he'd converted to Islam. Marvelous religion, couldn't be happier, Allahu Akbar and all that. And the Ayatollah said hey, that's terrific news, glad to hear it. But we're still gonna kill you. Surgical Implants Filled with Explosives Are Undetectable in Suicide Bombers. Britain's MI5 intelligence service reports that al-Qaida is recruiting female suicide bombers who have had explosives surgically implanted in their breasts. Male suicide bombers are undergoing similar surgeries; but instead of the breast area, the explosives are implanted in the buttocks or appendix areas. Merry Christmas from the World of Islam. With attention focused on the flagrant security breaches around Flight 253 on Christmas Day, too little has been made of the timing of the attack. Most readers will be surprised to learn that this was not the only Christmas attack on Christians. Here is a list of other holiday attacks which I found without extensive research... Isn't it noteworthy that you did not hear about any of this from the general media? Hey, let's talk about Islam! If one goes by the Pentagon's recent report on the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, the Pentagon's PC putzes wouldn't recognize a Muslim terrorist if one jumped up and bit them... So in the interest of national security, I have collected some statements made by folks over the years, which might point the Pentagon in the right direction. Malaysia and the Myth of Islamic Tolerance: Malaysia is often held up as the model of what a modern Muslim-majority nation can be. The ruling class, the bumiputra (literally "princes of the earth") are largely, though not entirely, Muslim. But when Malaysia's High Court ruled in late December to lift a government ban on non-Muslims using the word "Allah," Christian churches became the targets of fire-bombing attacks. This eruption of violence suggests that there is trouble brewing just beneath the surface even in this supposed paradise of Islamic moderation. Killing Muslims. Al Qaeda does one thing extremely well: killing Muslims. Between 2006 and 2008, only 2 percent of the terror multinational's victims were Westerners. The rest were citizens of Muslim countries. Even as al Qaeda claims to be their defender. 'Terror mom' and two jurors tossed from trial. Another day in the trial of Aafia Siddiqui, another outburst. The MIT-educated Pakistani "terror mom" turned into a holy terror today [1/25/2010] when a federal judge booted her from a federal courtroom in Manhattan following yet another rant. This time, Siddiqui was joined by two jurors, who were excused in a separate issue after they were threatened by a spectator, the judge said. Taliban Rape Tapes: A 'Muslim Abu Ghraib'. With breaking news out of Palestine today that a top aide to President Mahmoud Abbas has been literally caught with his pants down, rape tapes seem to be popping up all over the pious Muslim world. And some are horrifically worse than others. Flying High. [Scroll down] What nobody in authority thinks us grown-up enough to be told is this: We had better get used to being the civilians who are under a relentless and planned assault from the pledged supporters of a wicked theocratic ideology. These people will kill themselves to attack hotels, weddings, buses, subways, cinemas, and trains. They consider Jews, Christians, Hindus, women, homosexuals, and dissident Muslims (to give only the main instances) to be divinely mandated slaughter victims. Terror probes — what you're not being told. Intelligence analysis confirmed that Islamic terrorists always use such practice runs, often dubbed "dry runs" or probes to assess operational logistics and various aspects of airline security. Knowing that and having better hindsight after 9/11, why haven't we seen media reports, DHS, FBI or TSA acknowledgement of such probes prior to the Christmas Day bombing attempt? Was there a practice run for flight 253? What about the second person reportedly arrested ... ? Flying Lessons. We can't make ourselves inoffensive to militant Islamists. ... Our enemies have many grievances — from our support of Israel to our interventions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Yemen to our laissez-faire attitudes toward women and homosexuals. Nothing we do to appease them will be enough because what they really want is to humiliate, defeat, and dominate us; to force us to live under sharia law, embrace their religion as they interpret it, or suffer the consequences due arrogant infidels. We know this because they tell us. Editor's note: One of the latest high-profile attacks by the Religion of Peace occurred at Fort Hood, Texas. That incident is dicusssed on this page. Major Hasan and the Quran. Maj. Nidal Hasan's lawyer is considering an insanity plea as a strategy for his client. That might be the only legal option available to the man accused of the shooting rampage at Fort Hood. But Nidal Hasan should also consider a religious option: repentance. "Don't Say We're Violent, Or We'll Kill You". That has been the message of Islamic extremists on a number of occasions, e.g. the Mohammed cartoons. An extreme case occurred recently when the proprietor of the web site Religion of Peace received a death threat from members of the religion of peace. Minarets and the Concept of Reciprocity. The Islamic world does not allow new synagogues or churches to be built. Either at all — or without great difficulty. Further: Muslim fundamentalists currently persecute, torture, and murder those Christians who dare remain in the Middle East, and they kidnap, forcibly convert, and "marry" their very young daughters. Radical Islam's Defiling of Christmas. Today, while Christians around the world are celebrating Christmas, radical Muslims will be gathering in Atlanta, Georgia for the beginning of their annual hatefest. The irony of this cannot be understated, as the group sponsoring the event, ICNA, and its followers openly denounce Christians and propagate material cursing and calling for violence against Christians. Islam Bashers Repent. Claiming "Islam" means "peace" is fraudulent to begin with. Islam is an Arabic word. And the word for peace in Arabic is "solh," and not Islam. Islam is derived from the root word "taslim," which means submission or surrender. Hence, Islam's true name, surrender, is in fact most descriptive of what it is: total, unconditional submission and surrender of the individual and the community to the will and dictates of Allah as revealed by his "rasool," messenger, Muhammad. CAIR's Strategy of Deception: Sharia law covers every minute of every day of a person's life in Islam. Of course there are many peaceful aspects of Sharia, but as the 17 year old Rifqa Bary and many others have tried to inform people, Sharia law also has many violent aspects which can no longer be ignored. Sharia law is an all or nothing. A Muslim can't decide (and be in conformance with Islamic law) that they want to abide by some aspects and ignore other aspects such as death for apostasy or calling for hatred and violence against Christians and Jews. Should General George Casey Resign? [Scroll down] Currently, one of the greatest threats to America is Islamic terrorism. We must accept that Islam at its core is not a religion of peace; while at the same time, acknowledging that many Muslims practice their faith in a peaceful way. Many good people in the country and Army call themselves Muslims. So far as the United States military is concerned it's a matter of allegiance. Does Islam Breed Violence? Here is the truth, as bitter as it may be: Islam is the culprit. Islam is anything but a religion of peace. Violence is at the very core of Islam. Violence is institutionalized in the Muslims' holy book, the Quran, in many suras... Al Qaeda Magazine Encourages "Lone" Wolf Attacks on Western Infrastructure and Public Figures. As exposed by Reuters, al Qaeda recently called on followers to carry out attacks in (and on) the West. In its online magazine Sada al-Malahem the terrorist group specifically encouraged Islamists to create homemade bombs with materials that already exist in their "mother's kitchen." Taliban promises repeat of Fort Hood massacre: report. The Taliban claimed there would be more attacks like the Fort Hood shootings unless Washington ends it policies in Afghanistan and Iraq, according to a report. It also described the US army psychiatrist who carried out the massacre in Texas as a "hero". the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadist websites, said it had picked up a Taliban message praising the attack. Detroit imam killed in shootout with FBI. The slain Detroit imam called his followers to violence and wanted to establish a separate Islamic state within the US, according to a federal complaint. "Backlash" After Dallas Jihad Terror Plot? Late in September, a Muslim named Hosam Maher Husein Smadi, was arrested after placing an inert car bomb at a 60-story office tower in downtown Dallas. In March 2009, according to his indictment in U.S. District Court, Smadi declared his intention to wage war in the name of Islam. Yet characteristically, if dispiritingly, Muslims in the Dallas area are now expressing fears of a "backlash," rather than taking the hard steps necessary to make sure there are no more jihad plotters who are inspired by Islamic teachings, as was Hosam Smadi. Obama Sets Punt Formation. Under Taliban rule, strict Sharia law was enforced by thuggish "morality police". The Taliban cut off hands and heads, flogged people for dancing, kite flying or listening to music. They oppress and beat their women and kill Jews for sport and Christians just for the [heck] of it. They have vowed to kill other NATO forces in retaliation, the moment we turn our backs and they would surely lop the heads off of any Afghans who had connections to US or NATO forces. Is Islam inherently violent? It's the secret question in official Washington, D.C., in the Pentagon, and in the White House. It's the question that is so radioactive that most in government and the press dare not even pose it, let alone answer it: Is Islam inherently violent and expansionist? The Naiveté of Barack Hussein Obama. [Scroll down] It wasn't just the applause that was significant -- but the deadly silence at other statements that the president made. Obama was cheered loudly when he said, "The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It's time for these settlements to stop." But the silence was deafening when the president called on the Palestinians to renounce violence. The references to rockets being fired into Israel and old women being blown up on buses was met with absolutely no reaction from the audience. Celebrating Hate in the Name of Multiculturalism. There is no question that Great Britain has been struggling with an internal Islamist problem for quite some time. The former imam of London's Finsbury Park Mosque was the one-eyed, hook-handed Abu Hamza al-Masri, by turns a host to figures as friendly to civilization as Richard Reid, the "Shoe Bomber," and Zacarias Moussaoui, the "20th hijacker" on 9/11. London's own grim day of domestic terrorism, July 7, 2005, was orchestrated by the sons of Asian immigrants — one of whom, it was later disclosed, was under the messianic spell of Hamza. Eight years after 9/11, where's the Islamophobia? The dust hadn't settled from the trade towers before it was pronounced from sea to shining sea that Islam was a religion of peace, and that Islamophobia was sure to run rampant in the streets, a sin we were all warned to guard against. But like global warming, which has as yet failed to materialize in spite of so much fervent belief in its coming, Islamophobia never actually took root. The Straight Poop On Radical Islam. I suspect that because George Bush and Condoleezza Rice were so respectful of Muslims, constantly telling us that theirs is a religion of peace, some otherwise sensible Americans actually began to believe it. ... The Islamists have been actively at war with us for 30 years and generally at war with western civilization for well over a thousand years, and still we pay lip service to these people in a way we never did with Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan or the Soviet Union. Muslims Persecute Christians. On Saturday [8/1/2009], a frenzied mob of three thousand Muslims stormed the tiny Pakistani Christian village of Gojra. Enflamed by (unconfirmed) charges that a Christian had burned pages of the Qur'an, the mob burned down fifty homes, burned eight Christians alive, and wounded twenty others. Thousands of Christians fled the area. Last Thursday, enraged by the same report of blasphemy, another Muslim mob torched seventy-five Christian homes, along with two churches, in Koriyan, a village near Gojra. Eight Christians burnt to death in Pakistan after Koran is 'defiled'. The mob opened fire indiscriminately, threw petrol bombs and looted houses as thousands of frightened Christians ran for safety. "They were shouting anti-Christian slogans and attacked our houses," Rafiq Masih, a resident of the predominantly Christian colony, said. Residents said that police stood aside while the mob went on the rampage. "We kept begging for protection, but police did not take action," Mr Masih said. Iran: Not a Theocracy but a Thugocracy. The mullahs are not insisting that Ahmadinejad stay in power whether or not he got most of the votes. They are saying — and they are saying not only to the world, but to the Shiite Moslem citizens of Iran — that Ahmadinejad actually got most of the votes. In other words, these representatives of pure Islam are lying to other Moslems — Moslems who are their fellow countrymen — about who won the election. Islam does not only prohibit lying to other Moslems, it also condemns it. Stealing is savagely punished. The mullahs are stealing votes. They are lying to those they pretend to protect. Taliban buying children for suicide bombers. Pakistan's top Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, is buying children as young as 7 to serve as suicide bombers in the growing spate of attacks against Pakistani, Afghan and U.S. targets, U.S. Defense Department and Pakistani officials say. A Pakistani official, who spoke on the condition that he not be named because of the sensitive nature of the topic, said the going price for child bombers was $7,000 to $14,000 — huge sums in Pakistan, where per-capita income is about $2,600 a year. The new jihadi menu — eat your kill. If anyone ever doubted the West faces sheer insanity in the fight against the most extreme of the Muslim extremists, consider a discussion that recently erupted on a jihadist Web site based on the writings of one of al Qaeda's leading theorists. The thrust of the debate was that Muslim fighters may be justified in cannibalizing U.S. soldiers if they find themselves with nothing else to eat. The Price Tag of Modern Liberalism: For militant Islam, the West is ripe for the plucking. Whether we are dealing with the sly, insinuating eloquence of Tariq Ramadan, whose project is the gradual permeation of Islamic culture into the center of the Western public space, or the agonistic declamations of Dyab Abu Jahjah, who defines assimilation as "cultural rape," the difference is the same: the message is that of Islamic supremacy. Obama quotes verse 5:32, omits 5:33. The supposedly noble sentiments of the first verse, taken from a Jewish source, are entirely undercut by the second verse, which becomes a bloodthirsty menacing by Muhammad of the Jews. (And as an aside the Muslim sources estimate Muhammad killed 24,000 Jews in his jihad campaigns against them). Far from abjuring violence, these verses aggressively insist that any who oppose the Muslim prophet will be killed, or crucified, mutilated, and banished. If Islam is the Religion of Peace, Why Do They Have to Keep Reminding Us? When we read the headline in a May 21st New York Times story — "4 Accused of Bombing Plot at Bronx Synagogues" — it was ho-hum stuff. It wasn't exactly a revelation when The Times informed us, in the 9th paragraph, "They are all Muslims, a law enforcement official said" — just in case you thought the conspiracy involved Episcopalians, Rotarians or the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. If you hear about a hijacking, suicide bombing, sniper attack or the beheading of a hostage anywhere in the world, your first reaction is: a Muslim did it. Why? Because 9 times out of 10 a Muslim did do it. Christian Man Raped, Murdered for Refusing to Convert to Islam, Family Says. A young Christian man was raped and brutally murdered in Pakistan for refusing to convert to Islam, and police are doing nothing about it, the victim's brother and minister told FOXNews.com. Somalis watch double amputations. Hardline Islamists in Somalia have carried out double amputations on four men for stealing phones and guns. They have each had a hand and foot cut off after being convicted by a Sharia court in the capital earlier this week. Let's All Accept Islam. When Muslims start protesting the murders and indecencies performed in the name of Islam then I will accept them. We are told that the people who do these acts are a small minority of Muslims. So where are the protests, where are the books, where are the articles, where is the Islamic Pete Seeger? If Islam is really a religion of peace, then start showing it. We have been waiting for it and the memories I have are of Muslims out partying after the Twin Towers went down. Mr. Obama, it is nice that you want us to accept Islam, but would you have asked us to accept Nazism or Communism with their mass murders and mistreatment of people? Obama Throws Muslim Women Under the Bus. Let's face it: The Islamic face-veil and headscarf have become symbols of "jihad" and Islamic religious apartheid or intolerance in the West. And, it is spooky, even frightening to see women, (or are they men?), face-veiled or wearing full-body shrouds. Masked people, hooded people, have cut themselves off from human contact; they can see you, but you can't see them. You cannot see their expressions in response to what you are saying. I would not want to appear before a masked judge, study with a masked teacher, hire a masked lawyer, etc. Would you? Media Takes Whitewashing of Islam to a Whole New Level. [Scroll down] The butchering of Theo van Gogh, and the current lifestyles of people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Geert Wilders, Robert Redeker, and Fianna Nirenstein — who must be accompanied everywhere they go by armed bodyguards — show that some of Islam's critics have to go to a good deal of trouble to stay alive. Misunderstanding Islam? It is an unquestioned dogma of American policymakers and the mainstream media that Islamic jihadists have twisted and hijacked the authentic, peaceful teachings of Islam, and are motivated not by Islamic imperatives but by poverty exacerbated by ignorance and other factors. Yet from the words of the Islamic jihadists themselves, one gets just the opposite impression: recent statements by a variety of Islamic jihadists reinforce the fact that jihadists gain recruits and justify their actions within the larger Islamic community by claiming for themselves the mantle of Islamic authenticity. A History of Muslim Terrorism against Jews in the United States . The arrest yesterday [5/20/2009] of four would-be jihadis before they could attack two synagogues in New York City brings to mind a long list of terrorist assaults in the United States by Muslims on Jews. These began in 1977 and have continued regularly since... Security vs. liberty. Putting furry caterpillars in terrorists' cells doesn't rank very high on the list of history's greatest war crimes. The idea that use of waterboarding increases the vulnerability of our troops who might be captured is even sillier. The kind of people who ram airliners into skyscrapers to kill thousands of innocent civilians and who behead hostages on video don't need additional excuses to torture infidels. They do it for fun. The Myth of the Moderate Taliban. Primitive, with no history of accommodation except with other dangerous radicals, consumed with hatred of moderate and pluralistic Muslims as well as the West, and reaching for Pakistan's nuke -- the Taliban may bring about the worst chapter of atrocities in recent Islamic history. Islamist Hate Exposed By Traditional Values Coalition. The Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA) in Fairfax, Va. went before the local planning commission Wednesday night to seek an expansion of their controversial and secretive school funded and controlled by the Saudi government. A large group of residents near the school asked the Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) for help in organizing and strategizing against the expansion, which has seen raids by local police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation and used anti-Christian, anti-Semitic and anti-American textbooks. Schoolgirls Poison-Gassed in Afghanistan and Honor-Murdered in Sweden. Yesterday [5/12/2009] in Charikar, Afghanistan, for the second time in two weeks, 50 innocent schoolgirls were poison-gassed at school and had to be hospitalized. ... Such attacks on Afghan girls schools have escalated within the past year. However, this barbaric, Taliban mentality is alive and well among some Afghan immigrants in the West. Muslim extremist firebombed home of man who published book on Prophet Mohammed. A Muslim extremist has been found guilty of firebombing the home of the publisher of a controversial novel about the Prophet Mohammed and his child bride. Taliban threatens Pakistani singers and actors with death. Taliban militants are forcing singers and actors to join radical preaching groups in Pakistan or face death. Minister beaten after clashing with Muslims on his TV show. A Christian minister who has had heated arguments with Muslims on his TV Gospel show has been brutally attacked by three men who ripped off his cross and warned: 'If you go back to the studio, we'll break your legs.' Gang walk free after racist rampage. A gang who screamed racist abuse as they went on a violent rampage through Southampton city centre have escaped immediate jail terms. Seven men were part of the group who left bystanders unconscious and bleeding. They assaulted seven people during their drink and drug fuelled attacks, yet only one was jailed for drug offences. One even waved a knife in the face of two terrified women shouting: "I'm from Afghanistan, I'm a Muslim. I'm going to stab every white person." Jihadists celebrating Victoria fires; taking joy in the scenes. Jihadists are celebrating the worst tragedy in Victoria's history. Terror watchdogs said fundamentalists had blogged on websites across the globe, applauding the lives lost and destruction in the Victoria fires. Senior analyst at SITE Intelligence Group Adam Raisman said they were posting pictures of burnt homes and devastated victims and "taking joy in the scenes", the Sunday Herald Sun reports. Camera-Ready Victims. Hamas has perfected a kind of camera-ready human sacrifice — placing its launchers in playgrounds, hospitals, and neighborhoods crowded with mothers and children. Every innocent human life lost is a tragedy and a horror. But to watch the news in Brussels or Boston and certainly in Islamabad or Caracas, you will get the distorted impression that the Palestinian plight is the worst on earth — an impression that is reinforced almost daily by the United Nations. Is Islam a Violent Faith? There are more than one billion Muslims around the world, and I'm one of them. We are told that the Koran is the "word of God". When you read the Koran, however, — which over 90% of all Muslims have never read, according to a survey by Bielefeld University in Germany, and if they ever do, either they do not understand its archaic language, or they do not ponder on what it says — you find out that it is full of passages that incite to hatred, killing, and discriminate against women. Land Of The Free Speakers. Salman Rushdie was our canary in the coal mine: He first felt the effects of suffocating gasses that would start to envelope (sic) us all. Rushdie's fourth novel, The Satanic Verses, published in late 1988 when he was living in Britain, was seen as blasphemous by some Muslims. Feb. 14 will mark 20 years since Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini sent the author a bloody Valentine, issuing a religious decree calling for his death. ... Two decades later I'm struck by how encroaching this story has become. Preserving 'Harmony' for Islamic Radicals. [Geert] Wilders is a lightning rod. In the great tradition of the Enlightenment, and to the consternation of post-sovereign Europe, he faithfully reports what his senses perceive. When he studies the Koran, he finds exhortations to violence. When he reads Allah's command in Sura 9:5 that "when the sacred months have passed," Muslims must "slay the idolaters wherever ye find them," he entertains the outlandish idea that this means what it plainly says, and is understood by many Muslims as doing so. Muslim Fanatics Hijack British Prison. Muslim prisoners have launched a reign of terror inside a top security British jail. The fanatics are forcing fellow inmates to convert to Islam or face punishment beatings. One man who stood up to the thugs was branded with a lump of hot metal, according to a prison source. The crisis at Whitemoor jail in Cambridgeshire has led to calls by staff for the 100 Muslim inmates there to be dispersed to other prisons round the country. Five Big Lies Muslims Tell: (#4) They proclaim that Islam is a religion of peace, when Islam was established by the edge of the sword; when Muslims are involved in almost every war on the planet; and when Muslims introduced terrorism as we know it today to the world, and are responsible for almost all terrorist attacks in the world. You Must Remember This. "We are in the process of an historical war between the World of Arrogance and the Islamic world," Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has declared, "and this war has been going on for hundreds of years." "We are not fighting so that you will offer us something," said Hussein Massawi, a former leader of Hezbollah. "We are fighting to eliminate you." "Rome will become an advanced post for the Islamic conquests, which will spread though Europe in its entirety, and then will turn to the two Americas, even Eastern Europe," Yunis al-Astal, a Muslim cleric and Hamas parliamentarian has pledged. Barack Obama and Slavery: Islam's connection with slavery starts with Mohammed. The exact details of how slaves are taken are described in detail in the Sira, Mohammed's biography. ... Everything he did is the perfect pattern of behavior for all Muslims. Mohammed was involved in every single aspect and detail of slavery. He bought and sold slaves both retail and wholesale. He gave them as gifts, used them for sex, received them as gifts, stood by as slaves were beaten, attacked. He enslaved tribes, and owned black slaves. Indeed, his rise to political success was financed, in part, by the profit of his slave trade. Are Muslims really turning against the cult of the suicide bomber? [Scroll down] So will Osama be feeling the squeeze of moderate Muslim opinion? Will he and other Islamist leaders be holding policy review and consider abandoning suicide-bombing campaigns? Or, given the evidence of 1400-year long aggression against non-Muslims, does the media's sense of hope tell us more about the on-going denial of the Western mindset when it comes to the Jihadist concept of 'perpetual war'? The Decline and Fall of Islam: Islam has literally been at war with all other religions since its inception. It looks at the world as being divided between Islam and the world of the infidel, the unbeliever, the world of war. … Mohammed said, "The sword is the key to Heaven and Hell." By contrast, six hundred years earlier, Jesus said, "He who lives by the sword shall perish by the sword." British aid worker shot dead in Afghanistan for 'preaching Christianity'. Gayle Williams, who had been in the troubled country for three years, was killed by two gunmen on a motorcycle as she walked to work in the capital of Kabul. She recently moved from Kandahar back to Kabul because it was seen as safer. The Taliban claimed responsibility for the shooting, which took place at 8am local time. Saudi OKs Killing "Immoral" TV Execs. Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content. The 79-year-old Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan said Thursday that satellite channels cause the "deviance of thousands of people." One third of Muslim students back killings. Almost a third of British Muslim students believe killing in the name of Islam can be justified, according to a poll. The study also found that two in five Muslims at university support the incorporation of Islamic sharia codes into British law. Islam group urges forest fire jihad. Australia has been singled out as a target for "forest jihad" by a group of Islamic extremists urging Muslims to deliberately light bushfires as a weapon of terror. US intelligence channels earlier this year identified a website calling on Muslims in Australia, the US, Europe and Russia to "start forest fires", claiming "scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels' forests when they do the same to our lands". Islamic 'Bugs Bunny' programme 'spreads extremism'. An Islamic television station is using a Bugs Bunny lookalike in a programme for children, who vote whether to chop off his hands when he breaches Sharia law. Assud the rabbit vows to "kill and eat Jews" and glorifies the maiming of "infidels" on the Palestinian children's show Tomorrow's Pioneers. Dalai Lama defends Islam as peaceful religion. The Dalai Lama said Sunday that "it's totally wrong, unfair" to call Islam a violent religion. The Tibetan spiritual leader, appearing at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania, offered a defense of Islam in response to a question about the rise of violent religious fundamentalism. He added that he has made a point of reaching out to Muslims since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The Editor says... As far as I know, there's only one religion that is known for "violent religious fundamentalism," and that is Islam. Baptists and Catholics don't hijack planes and fly them into office buildings. Lutherans and Presbyterians don't make people nervous at the airport. Suicide bombers follow Quran, concludes Pentagon briefing. With suicide bombings spreading from Iraq to Afghanistan, the Pentagon has tasked intelligence analysts to pinpoint what's driving Muslim after Muslim to do the unthinkable. Their preliminary finding is politically explosive: it's their "holy book" the Quran after all. Love, blackmail and rape — how al-Qaeda grooms women as 'perfect weapons'. A woman pretending to be pregnant walks up to a hospital in one of Iraq's most dangerous regions and blows herself up. Minutes later a man, also laden with explosives, attacks the rescue workers who rushed to the scene in Diyala province, north of Baghdad. Thirty-two people are killed and 52 wounded. Islam's Barbarism is no 'Religion of Peace'. The savages who practice radical Islam continue their march down the road of seventh century barbarism. No other religion in the modern world is so vile, so hate-filled, so violently aggressive in the pursuit of its goals. In Indonesia, the world's largest Islamic state, three Christian teenage girls walking home from school were abducted and beheaded as "Ramadan trophies" by militants who conceived the idea after a visit with fellow jihadists in the Philippines. Jihadism, Liberalism and Perversion: Only Islamic clerics sanction the murder of women who have been raped. Only Islamic clerics issue murderous fatwas, celebrate murder of artists, and mobilize sword-wielding men to demand death for a female teacher who allowed children to name a teddy bear 'Mohammed'. Only Islam proudly exhibits videos of throat-cutters torturing helpless victims. Islam is intrinsically violent, says convert. Italian editor and critic of Islamic extremism Magdi Allam, who converted to Catholicism from Islam and was baptised by Pope Benedict XVI, today branded his former faith as intrinsically violent. "I had to do this (abandon Islam)", Allam wrote in a long letter to the Italian daily Corriere della Sera. "Beyond … the phenomenon of extremists and Islamist terrorism at the global level, the root of evil is inherent to a physiologically violent and historically conflictual Islam," wrote the Egyptian-born journalist, who says he has received death threats and is under police protection. Islamic books justify violence. Textbooks at a private Islamic school in Northern Virginia teach students that it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and converts from Islam, according to a federal investigation released Wednesday [6/11/2008]. Other passages in the school's textbooks state that "the Jews conspired against Islam and its people" and that Muslims are permitted to take the lives and property of those deemed "polytheists." Bomber who struck Canadian troops was 11 years old, military sources say. Military sources say a bomb that wounded two Canadian soldiers near Kandahar on Friday [5/16/2008] was carried by an 11-year-old boy and was detonated by remote control, killing the boy. The two Canadian soldiers were not badly hurt, but the blast also struck two Afghan soldiers patrolling with them, one of whom later died. Terrorists attack Mumbai, November 26, 2008. Clues point to domestic terrorists in India attack. The attack on India's financial capital bears all the trademarks of al-Qaida — simultaneous assaults meant to kill scores of Westerners in iconic buildings — but clues so far point to homegrown Indian terrorists, global intelligence officials said Thursday. They came to kill and maim. At 9:30 pm on Wednesday Parizaad Khan had just picked up her first drink — a fruit juice — at a wedding reception in the Crystal Room on the third floor of the century-old Taj Mahal Palace hotel. For several minutes the partygoers, a mixture of Indians and foreigners, thought that the bangs outside were fireworks. Mumbai attacks. Uncertainty is a key weapon in the armoury of Islamic fundamentalist terror. As investigators, experts and analysts grope for the truth, someone somewhere is taking satisfaction from the horrified confusion the Mumbai attacks have caused. The Mayhem in Mumbai. The attacks targeted the heart of India's financial district, but the shock waves were felt around the globe. Cruel barbarity against us all. The slaughter in Mumbai was a barbaric attack not just on India, but on us. On the West. For the first time in India, Muslim terrorists have singled out Westerners and Jews, and the places they are most likely to visit. Wake-up Call in India. I think the terrible news from India, coupled with intelligence reports of the al-Qaeda desire to do something similar here, may well prompt Obama et al. to think very carefully about repealing the FISA accords, elements of the Patriot Act, immediately closing Guantanamo, and other homeland-security measures. Indian official: Terrorists wanted to kill 5,000. An Indian official said the coordinated terrorist attacks that killed at least 183 people in nine sites across Mumbai this week could have been much worse. "We found bullets with them, hand grenades, bombs," R.R. Patil, deputy chief minister of Maharashtra state, said at a news conference. "Based on our investigation, we believe they had planned to kill 5,000 people." Mumbai sea attack alert came November 19. The most brazen and longest terror attack on India has left several red faces in the government with facts emerging that not only was there advance intelligence about this attack but even the time to have possibly thwarted it. But what happened, instead, was a case of competitive mistrust in the entire security establishment leading to a catastrophic misjudgement. Mumbai terrorists planned to kill 5,000, minister says. Terrorists who attacked Mumbai this week planned to kill 5,000 people, a senior minister said Saturday, according to a news agency report. 'So much of ammunition was found in their possession that it is evident that they had plans to kill 5,000 people,' said Maharashtra state Home Minister RR Patil, quoted by the PTI news agency. Commandos entered dark hotel filled with bodies, gunfire. Inside the blacked-out Taj Mahal Palace Hotel, hallways were littered with bloodied bodies. Terrorists were still holding 200 people 33 hours after the assault began. Knowing next to nothing about what they might encounter in the dark recesses of the hotel, Indian Army commandos decided to go back in -- and were met by terrorists firing mercilessly, throwing grenades and continuously switching positions. The Religion of Peace Strikes Again. The attacks in Mumbai, India are the latest in the 1,400 year history of Islam and yet people continue to express surprise that the alleged religion of peace could harbor so many cold-blooded killers of innocent people. Since 9/11, Muslims have carried out more than 11,000 attacks all in the name of Islam and Muhammad. Americans got a taste of it when 3,000 of their own were mercilessly killed without warning and, I might add, without any better reason than Muhammad's call to "wage war against such of the infidels as are your neighbors." Armed police would not fire back. [Scroll down] But what angered Mr D'Souza almost as much were the masses of armed police hiding in the area who simply refused to shoot back. "There were armed policemen hiding all around the station but none of them did anything," he said. "At one point, I ran up to them and told them to use their weapons. I said, 'Shoot them, they're sitting ducks!' but they just didn't shoot back." The Spread Of Nihilism's Bloody Stain. The terrorist assault on Mumbai is the latest clash between civilization and nihilism. From the Somali pirates to the Taliban, this is what the world would be like without America. 'I was told to kill to my last breath': Captured terrorist's account. The only terrorist captured alive after the Mumbai massacre has given police the first full account of the extraordinary events that led to it -- revealing he was ordered to 'kill until the last breath'. Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan, said the attacks were meticulously planned six months ago and were intended to kill 5,000 people. New India in the Crosshairs. Mumbai had been bit in 1993, in car bombs placed at public landmarks (the toll: 257 dead), and in 2006, in bombs targeting the city's commuter trains (183 dead). In the main, these acts of terror victimized ordinary Indians. ... They shot up the Leopold Cafe, a restaurant where foreigners enjoy the cheap beer and food, and held hostages at two luxury hotels, the Taj Mahal and the Oberoi. They searched out Americans and Brits in particular. Together with their attack on a Jewish community center, this meant that they had taken aim at each element of the jihadist's unholy trinity of Americans, Brits, and Jews -- symbols to them of unapologetic Western power and its Zionist spawn. The War Against Civilisation. The atrocities in Mumbai have left reporters and commentators floundering for explanations. ... They are floundering because they still just don't get it. The atrocities demonstrated with crystal clarity what the Islamist war is all about -- and the western commentariat didn't understand because it simply refuses to acknowledge, even now, what that war actually is. It does not arise from particular grievances. It is not rooted in 'despair' over Palestine. It is not a reaction to the war in Iraq. It is a war waged in the name of Islam against America, Britain, Hindus, Jews and all who refuse to submit to Islamic conquest. Mumbai attacks: Jihadists see "invasion" as a triumph. In India, some already call it the "Invasion of Bombay" and their country's 9/11 moment. This is no exaggeration. For, although the deadly raids on India's economic capital did not claim as many lives as 9/11 did in New York, the psychological impact is likely to be as potent. Religious head incited killers. The al-Qa'ida-linked Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists suspected over the Mumbai massacre were trained in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, and were incited by speeches from their leader in Lahore. As the sole surviving terrorist was interrogated in Mumbai, security sources told The Australian that 10 terrorists were picked by LET for the suicide mission. Islamic fundamentalists, again. Azam Amir Kasab, 21, from Pakistan, the only terrorist to survive, told India police, these attacks were planned six months ago and were intended to kill 5,000 people. This poor excuse for a human being told authorities "I did right" in referring to the rampage of death he and his terror colleagues committed. It Took Sixty Hours To Kill 10 Terrorists In Mumbai. Ten terrorists, who, according to the findings of the investigation, arrived by rubber raft at the shore of Mumbai carrying machine guns, grenades and dry rations in their luggage, succeeded — almost inconceivably — in keeping almost 1,000 commando troops and counterterror units occupied for three days, in several areas. How Gadgets Helped Mumbai Attackers: The Mumbai terrorists used an array of commercial technologies — from Blackberries to GPS navigators to anonymous e-mail accounts — to pull off their heinous attacks. For years, terrorists and insurgents around the world have used off-the-shelf hardware and software to stay ahead of bigger, better-funded authorities. Worst Terror Attacks Since 9/11. Last week's tragic and deadly terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, serve, sadly, as just the most recent reminder of the impact global terrorism has had on every continent and nation around the world. While the face of terror often carries a different banner and agenda, the symbolic, emotional and fatal impact it can have on a civilian population is undeniable. From Mumbai to Minneapolis, Why it Will Happen Here. I hope everyone takes a really deep, hard look at what happened last week in Mumbai, India, and at the terrorists who perpetrated the attack. And I hope this is done quickly, with a high degree of intellectual honesty and without the encumbrance of political correctness. The safety of every American, Canadian, Australian, and all Westerners, in fact depends on it, as does the security of our respective nations. Devils in Mumbai. As few as 10 terrorists armed with simple weapons tormented one of the world's most vibrant cities for three days, inflicting 500 casualties — nearly 200 of them dead. No commandeered airliners were involved; no massive bombs, no radioactive material. All it took was one squad of committed-unto-death terrorists with assault rifles, grenades and a few rucksacks filled with explosives. Probing of Doomsday. The Islamic imperialist project is a totalitarian ideology: It is at war with Hindus, Jews, Americans, Britons — everything that is other. In the 10 months before this week's atrocity, Muslim terrorists killed more than 200 people in India and no one paid much attention. Just business as usual, alas. In Bombay, the perpetrators were cannier. They launched a multiple indiscriminate assault on soft targets, and then in the confusion began singling out A-list prey: Not just wealthy Western tourists, but local orthodox Jews and municipal law enforcement. Mumbai terrorists were 'funded by cash raised in UK mosques'. A banned Islamic terrorist group funded with cash raised in British mosques is believed to be behind the Mumbai attacks. Kashmiri separatists Lashkar-e-Taiba, 'The Army of the Righteous', which has strong links to Al Qaeda, is accused of previous terrorist outrages in India. And intercepted telephone and radio communications before and during the latest attacks apparently suggest a link. Off the Table. Islam was born as a religion spread through violence. There is a direct line from the prophet Muhammad to today's Islamic terrorists, whose latest deadly attacks wreaked havoc in Mumbai, India. ... Islamic terrorists always have some kind of excuse for their wanton killings. Usually it starts with the Jews, whom the religious fanatics believe are responsible for every ill befalling Muslims everywhere and thus deserve to die. It was no surprise that a Jewish center in Mumbai was among the prime terrorist targets, with deadly consequences to a rabbi, his wife and other Jews. Whose side are they on? We thought we were safe... then CNN stepped in! A South Wales couple caught in the Mumbai terror attacks claimed last night that CNN put their lives at risk by broadcasting where they were. Lynne and Kenneth Shaw, of Penarth, warned that terrorists were listening in to the media to pinpoint Western victims. Mrs Shaw claimed the American cable TV channel had broadcast details of where they were at the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel. Mumbai Massacre: Everyone's Fault? The Islamic terrorists keep telling us that their barbaric massacres and homicide bombings are being done in the name of Islam. Muslim organizations keep insisting that Islam is a religion of peace. Even as civilian blood cries out for justice, or for security, the intelligentsia warn us that Muslims and Islam are not the problem, that American foreign policy and Zionism are the real problem. The Western mainstream media refuse to take the barbarians at their word lest they be accused of "racism" or "Islamophobia." Asia's Islamism engine. Following the terror massacres in Mumbai, Pakistan may now be the single biggest state sponsor of terrorism, beyond even Iran. Yet it has never been listed by the US State Department as a state sponsor ofterrorism. In 1998, according to the 9/11 Commission Report, the State Department's counter-terrorism co-ordinator recommended listing Pakistan as a state sponsor of terrorism. Then [Clinton's] secretary of state Madeleine Albright decided against it, saying it would destroy US influence in Islamabad. And that has been the dilemma of Western policy towards Pakistan ever since. Pakistan 'charity' under suspicion in Mumbai terrorist attacks. Pakistan's pledge to crack down on militants behind the Mumbai attacks may meet an early test with the Islamist "charity" accused by the United States of being the front group for the prime suspects. Washington and India view Jamaat-ud-Dawa as the successor to Lashkar-e-Taiba, the militant organization that India says trained the 10 gunmen who killed 171 people in India's commercial capital last week. The 'charity' that plotted the Mumbai attacks. Wriggling under the illumination of media scrutiny after accusations of its involvement in the slaughter in Mumbai, Jamaat-ud-Dawa's response last week was a workmanlike PR counter-move. Journalists were taken on a guided tour of the organisation's headquarters, 30 miles from Lahore, where a civilised lunch of spiced chicken and rice accompanied declarations of innocence, condemnation of the terrorist attack and claims to be nothing more than a charity group involved in relief work. Terrorists? Not us, guv. Strict Indian Gun Law Aided Mumbai Terrorists in Attack. India's strict gun laws are partly to blame for the success of the terrorist attack in Mumbai, according to the head of an Indian gun rights group and a U.S. expert who has examined the impact of gun laws on crime and terrorism. Investigators find Mumbai link. Pakistani investigators have unearthed substantive links between the gunmen who attacked Mumbai in November and a banned Pakistani Islamist militant group, the Wall Street Journal reported. Ten gunmen killed 179 people in the attack on India's financial hub that India has blamed on the Pakistan-based Islamist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) group. The Twenty Biggest Stories Of 2008: (#15) The Mumbai terrorist attacks: Terrorists launched coordinated attacks all across Mumbai, including at the Taj Mahal. During the attacks, which lasted for more than three days, 170 people were killed. It actually sounds like something you'd see at the movies, except there was no Indian Chuck Norris to swoop in and save the day. Handlers on phone ordered Mumbai gunmen to kill. "Keep your phone switched on," a handler instructs a gunman by phone in the midst of the Mumbai siege, "so that we can hear the gunfire." The ruthless commands come from a transcript of phone calls Indian authorities say they intercepted during the attacks in November. India says the men issuing orders, reprimands and encouragement to the young gunmen were Pakistani-based militants directing the attacks by mobile phone. Muslim-only "No-go" zones Bishop warns of no-go zones for non-Muslims. Islamic extremists have created "no-go" areas across Britain where it is too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter, one of the Church of England's most senior bishops warns today. The Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, the Bishop of Rochester and the Church's only Asian bishop, says that people of a different race or faith face physical attack if they live or work in communities dominated by a strict Muslim ideology. Threats to 'no-go areas' bishop. A bishop who claimed Islamic extremism has turned some communities into no-go areas for non-Muslims has received threats against himself and his family. The Bishop of Rochester, the Right Reverend Dr Michael Nazir-Ali, said last month non-Muslims may find it hard to live or work in some areas. Now he says he has received threats which have been reported to police. You can't preach the Bible here, this is a Muslim area. Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible extracts by police because they were in a Muslim area, it was claimed yesterday. They say they were told by a Muslim police community support officer that they could not preach there and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime. A Muslim Hate Crime is in Your Future. Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible tracts by police officers because they were in a Muslim neighborhood in England. According to British news reports, the preachers were told by a Muslim community support police officer in Birmingham that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity is a hate crime. They were warned that if they came back and were beaten up, it would be their fault, not that of the thugs who beat them. Report: Non-Muslims Deserve to Be Punished. A report posted on Islam Watch, a site run by Muslims who oppose intolerant teachings and hatred for unbelievers, exposes a prominent Islamic cleric and lawyer who support extreme punishment for non-Muslims — including killing and rape. Either Allah isn't on their side, or jihadis are just plain useless. So it may well be that the fundamentalists have resorted to that brave and noble tactic of sending the mentally impaired or deeply troubled off to do their dirty work, lacking the resolve and commitment to do so themselves. Al-Qaeda, you may remember, strapped explosives to two women suffering from Down's syndrome and sent them to a market in downtown Baghdad where these walking bombs were detonated remotely, wiping them out together with 91 other people. Teens were trained as suicide bombers, Iraqi army says. The Iraqi military on Monday displayed a group of weeping teenagers who said they had been forced into training for suicide bombings by a Saudi militant in the last urban stronghold of "al-Qaida in Iraq." Four of the six boys were lined up for the media at police headquarters in the northern city of Mosul, where they said they had been training for a month to start suicide operations in early June. 84% of PA Arabs Support Massacre of Jews. The vast majority of PA Arabs support the terror attack on Jerusalem's Merkaz HaRav Yeshiva in which eight students were executed earlier this month, according to a new poll cited in the New York Times on Wednesday. According to the poll, 84 percent of those surveyed "stood behind" the shooting attack. In addition, 64% supported the firing of Kassam rockets at Negev towns. Morbid Celebrations: Palestinians revel in violence. The streets of Gaza were packed with thousands of joyous revelers on Thursday following the terrorist attack at a Jerusalem rabbinical seminary that killed eight people. In mosques throughout Gaza, according to news reports, many residents went to perform the prayers of thanksgiving. Armed men fired machine gun bursts into the air in celebration. Others passed out candies to random passersby on the streets. This is not the first time that large numbers of Palestinians have celebrated bloodshed. A World of Peace — A World Without Militant Islam. Imagine, dear friends, for a moment, the following scenario. Picture a Christian man walking into a Hindu school and opening fire on students as they were learning their holy books. Then imagine that, not only had he murdered eight young students and wounded more than 30, but just try to visualize groups of Christians breaking out in song and dance to celebrate this "brave victory." Let's call a spade a spade here, folks, before this thing comes to haunt all of us across Mother Earth. Yes, it is utterly impossible to do so in the civilized world. The War and the Home Front: Were there any doubt that the global war between the West and the Islamist extremist terrorist enemy rages on, the events of yesterday [3/7/2008] should put it to rest. A Palestinian Arab gunman from eastern Jerusalem shot and killed eight Jewish students — young men studying the Torah — in an exceptionally barbaric attack on an Israeli religious school. The massacre that was greeted with cheers and prayers of thanksgiving in Gaza. Islamists leave Israel no choice. The attack yesterday in Jerusalem on a Jewish religious school in which eight civilians died disclosed important political trends. It showed once more the depths of the divisions within the Palestinian leadership. The Palestinian Authority, under its President Mahmoud Abbas, condemned the attack. On the other hand, Hamas, the Palestinian leadership in the Gaza Strip, praised the attack and Gazan civilians danced in the streets with joy. Palestinian Militants Hail Massacre at Jerusalem Seminary. Hamas Islamists have claimed responsibility for a Jerusalem shooting attack at a Jewish religious school that killed eight people, Reuters reports. Hamas militants cheered over the deadly shooting as thousands of Palestinians took to the streets of Gaza to celebrate Thursday [3/6/2008] amid recent armed conflicts in the Hamas-controlled strip. Islam: Not Just Another Religion. This campaign season, presidential candidates seem intent on battling each other with a war of words over universal healthcare, tax reform, immigration, the war in Iraq, the economy and Biblical literalism. Yet, they have spent few words on and have literally ignored the greatest threat to America and Western civilization since the Cold War: the global jihad. Afghan Radio Station Attacked for Being Un-Islamic; 2 Poppy Police Killed. Arsonists set fire Friday to a radio station near Kabul accused of being un-Islamic, and two poppy eradication policemen were killed in Afghanistan's southwest, officials said. Four gunmen broke into the offices of Radio Zafar before dawn, tied up two security guards and then set the station's equipment ablaze, said Paghman district police chief Abdul Razaq. Hindu man set on fire in East London 'for dating Muslim girl'. Police were appealing for witnesses today following the attempted murder of a man who was doused in petrol and set on fire in east London.

Al Qaeda's Dentist: London dentist Sohail Qureshi told the police he was just off to celebrate the Muslim festival of Eid with his family in Pakistan. But instead of dental floss and fluoride, Qureshi, 30, tried to board a plane at Heathrow Airport with $18,000 in cash, a night vision scope, two metal batons, terror handbooks, extremist material, military information on CDs and medical supplies. Worshippers of Death: Zahra Maladan is an educated woman who edits a women's magazine in Lebanon. She is also a mother, who undoubtedly loves her son. She has ambitions for him, but they are different from those of most mothers in the West. She wants her son to become a suicide bomber. Man Butchers 15-Month-Old Nephew in Jeddah Supermarket. Early morning shoppers at a supermarket in Jeddah were left reeling yesterday [3/2/2008], with some falling unconscious, after a well-built Syrian man clinched a knife and decapitated his 15-month-old nephew in front of his mother in the store's fruit and vegetable section. Imam's daughter in hiding after her conversion to Christianity sparked death threats. The daughter of a British imam is living under police protection after receiving death threats from her father for converting to Christianity. The 31-year-old, whose father is the leader of a mosque in Lancashire, has moved house an astonishing 45 times after relatives pledged to hunt her down and kill her. Kids used as decoys in car bomb, U.S. says. Insurgents detonated a car bomb with two children in it after using the children as decoys to get through a military checkpoint in Baghdad, a U.S. general said Tuesday. Speaking at a Pentagon briefing, Maj. Gen. Michael Barbaro, an official with the Pentagon's Joint Staff, said U.S. soldiers had stopped the car at the checkpoint but had allowed it to pass after seeing the two children in the back seat. News crew confronted at school. In an attempt to report about the new findings from the Department of Education Monday, 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS went to Tarik ibn Zayad Academy in Inver Grove Heights. While on school grounds, our crew was confronted by school officials. Our photographer was injured while wrestling with the two men over the camera. … Tarik ibn Zayad Academy, which focuses on Middle Eastern culture and shares a mosque with the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, came under fire after a teacher alleged that the school was offering religious instruction in Islam to its students. Boy killed for teaching English. Taliban militants have shot dead a teenage boy for teaching English in eastern Afghanistan, while several Taliban were killed and seven detained in a clash with coalition forces, officials said on Thursday [11/15/2007]. Man held for 'honour killing'. A 33-year-old Jordanian has been charged with premeditated murder after his divorcee sister was strangled in an apparent new "honour killing", a security source said on Friday [11/16/2007]. Muslims jailed for killing Christians. Six Islamic militants were sentenced to up to 19 years in prison Monday [12/3/2007] for terrorist acts in eastern Indonesia that include beheading three Christian schoolgirls and shooting to death a priest. Children who died in strike on madrassa were shields, say coalition. Seven children were killed in an airstrike on a religious school in eastern Afghanistan, the US-led coalition said yesterday. It said that the building was believed to house al-Qaeda fighters and accused the terrorists of using children as human shields. Jihad this! I no longer accept that we are only at war with Islamic fascists or Islamic fundamentalists or whatever the heck we're calling them this week. I believe that we in the West are at war with Islam, period. I have heard any number of politicians, up to and including President Bush, claim, contrary to all reason and evidence, that Islam is a religion of peace. If you buy that load of malarkey, I've got a Brooklyn mosque I'd like to sell you. There is no defence against these children of death. We are deep inside intelligence headquarters in Kabul. On the faded sofa opposite is an extraordinary new weapon — a 17-year-old Pakistani peasant boy called Farman Ullah. He is the world's first remotely detonated human bomb. Palestinian Authority Cartoon Prays That Allah Will Kill Americans. A cartoon published Tuesday [10/9/2007] in an official Palestinian Authority newspaper shows a Muslim man calling on Allah to kill Americans, said a group that monitors Palestinian media. Palestinian Media Watch, an independent research group, said the cartoon shows the Muslim man kneeling before a U.S. fighter jet. His prayers are enclosed in four missiles aimed at the American plane. The dangers of tolerance. In the same week Farzana Hassan was threatened with death, Quebec's chief electoral officer said Muslim women who wear the niqab would not have to show their faces to confirm their identities at the ballot box. So, what do those two disparate events have in common? Hassan sees such "concessions" to fundamentalist factions of Islam as fuel that emboldens those who endanger her life, her freedom and that of other women. The religion of peace — at gunpoint. You need a scorecard to keep up with all the region's disaffected. Apparently, when three or more angry Muslims gather in a garage, a new jihadist group is born. What's perfectly clear is that video is the new weapon of mass destruction. A billion people manipulated into religious frenzy is a formidable force. It is also clear that the West's continued existence — at least from the perspective of Islamist militants — depends upon our willingness to bow to Islam. Islamic Prejudice: Christians. Traditional Islamic law mandates the death penalty for Muslims who leave Islam, in accordance with Muhammad's command: "Whoever changed his Islamic religion, then kill him." This is still the position of all the schools of Islamic jurisprudence, although there is some disagreement over whether the law applies only to men, or to women also. Saudi Squander: Where does all the money go? Of the more than 1,200 mosques in America, more than 80-percent were built with Saudi money, according to author RezaF. Safa (Inside Islam). In fact, Safa writes that the Saudis have spent "$87 billion since 1973 to spread Islam throughout the United States and the Western hemisphere." Elsewhere in the world, it is believed that Saudi Arabia finances some 85 percent of the world's mosques, where the vitriolic and violent Wahabbist interpretation of Islam is taught. It is indisputable that the current hatred of the United States and the ideology of Islamist violence are reinforced via these mosques. In Search Of The "Peace-Loving Muslims" — Again. What is it with the combination of being a medical doctor and a "Muslim? That's a very legitimate question to ask, in light of a certain event that unfolded at the end of last week in Virginia. Dr. Esam Omeish, who in addition to being an "M.D." was, up until last Thursday, a member of the Virginia State Commission on Immigration. He also happens to be president of the Muslim American Society. Three Bible publishers killed. Attackers on Wednesday [4/18/2007] slit the throats of three people in a Turkish publishing house that printed Bibles, the latest attack on minorities in mainly Muslim Turkey, said officials. Three dead in attack on Turk Christian publisher. Attackers on Wednesday slit the throats of three people in a Turkish publishing house which printed bibles, security officials said, the latest attack on minorities in mainly Muslim Turkey. NTV said a fourth person had died in hospital, but the report could not be confirmed. Turkey Detains 5 In Bible Shootings. Police detained five more people Thursday in connection with an attack on a Christian publishing house that killed three employees, doubling the number of suspects in custody, a Turkish official said. One group of suspects detained in the slayings Wednesday at a publishing house that distributes Bibles told investigators they carried out the killings to protect Islam, a Turkish newspaper reported. Stoned to death for loving the wrong boy. A 17-year-old girl has been stoned to death in Iraq because she loved a teenage boy of the wrong religion. Tied up, blindfolded, waiting to die: the truth about the hostages' ordeal. Blindfolded and lined up against a concrete wall with their hands tied behind their backs, the British marines and sailors heard the sound of weapons being cocked. One of them dropped to the floor screaming, "They are going to execute us." Another could be heard throwing up. Fighting back was simply not an option'. The British captives held by Iranian Revolutionary Guardsmen described yesterday how they were bound, blindfolded and lined up against a wall while weapons were cocked behind them. Defending themselves against suggestions that they surrendered too readily and were too eager to cooperate with their captors, they said that they had feared the worst and that fighting back was simply not an option. Mixed signals: Although his critics accused the president of misrepresentation, it was they who engaged in such a practice. For example, CAIR falsely charged he had "equated the religion of peace [Islam] with the ugliness of fascism." In fact, Mr. Bush did something altogether different — and laudable: He made clear that those who use Islam to justify and provide political cover for their totalitarian aggression are at odds not only with America but with Islam, itself. Such dangerous ideologues cannot be appeased. They must be destroyed. 'Islamofascism': The word has … caught on, not least because it provides a convenient way of announcing that you are not against Islam but only against its perversion by the terrorists. But this prompts the question whether terrorism is really as alien to Islam as we should all like to believe. The gap between Islam and peace. The experts tell us militant Islamic fundamentalists, or "Islamists," represent a narrow, if murderous, fringe. They number no more than 10, maybe 15, percent of all Muslims. That estimate works out to somewhere between 100 million and 150 million people. Which is a lot of murderous fringe. The Editor says... The other 85 percent are keeping a low profile for now, but they'll gladly join the winning team if Islamism gains momentum. Muslim pupils kill teacher. Muslim pupils at a secondary school in northeastern Nigeria beat a teacher to death today after accusing her of desecrating the Koran. Oluwatoyin Olusase, a Christian, was adjudicating an Islamic Religious Knowledge exam at the school in Gombe state when the incident occurred. Man gets 30 years for ripping out wife's eyes. A man who ripped out his wife's eyes in a fit of rage was sentenced by a French court to 30 years behind bars on Tuesday. Mohamed Hadfi, 31, tore out his 23-year-old wife Samira Bari's eyes following a heated argument in their apartment in the southern French city of Nimes in July 2003 after she refused to have sex with him. World War III. The American people and free people everywhere must come to grips with the fact that radical Islamists and the countries that back them are already engaged in a global war to defeat us. The attacks against the U.S. and other nations are all connected to one source … radical Islamists intent on initiating a new Golden Age of Islam. Which leads to my second point, that it is imperative that the American people and especially our leaders, understand that Islam is not a religion of peace. We should not tolerate the preachers of jihad. It is a war fought with planes crashed into buildings or blown up in mid-air, roadside bombs, kidnappings, beheadings and other unspeakable instruments of terror. It is decentralised but global in scope, from madrassas in Pakistan, to mosques in London, to "charities" in America, to banks and boardrooms in the Middle East. It is a war with a cultural and ideological component that is lavishly financed by easy oil money from states like Saudi Arabia that we have long (and foolishly) regarded as "moderates" and "friends". The rise of the caliphate. Thanks to a steady flow of petro-dollars, today's leaders of "the religion of peace" — both Sunni and Shia — have been able to launch and sustain well-financed, extremely aggressive campaigns to advance their beliefs. Sheiks, imams, mullahs and ayatollahs routinely expound the virtues of "martyrdom" and vicious treatment for Christians and Jews. The "common ground" for all Islamic radicals is hatred of the United States and Israel. Terrorism threat is here to stay. A broad and deep coalition of Islamic extremists is determined to murder very large numbers of Americans, Westerners, Christians, Jews and — let us not forget — insufficiently committed Muslims. … Those whom Bush now calls Islamic fascists have been killing Americans for decades. Al-Qaeda declared war on America when Bush was still in Texas. Why Islam is the new Marx. The 20th century saw the demise of communism, despite its attraction to millions of people who felt poor or downtrodden. It was exposed as a totalitarian system that stifled the aspirations of man. But its stain is spreading within the casing of Islamic fundamentalism. Beyond wishful thinking about Islam. Now that three years and three months have passed since nearly 3,000 died on a day that will live in infamy, the hills are alive with the sound of positive musings about Islam. Publisher's Weekly has reported that many new books on the religion are hitting the stores, with most assuring readers that Islam is a religion of peace. Islamofascism — an enemy like no other. "If other people in al Qaeda are really as sadistic as this guy seems to be, then we're really in for a long and awful war." National Public Radio's Daniel Schorr made this comment about the anti-American courtroom tirade of Zacarias Moussaoui, the so-called 20th hijacker. Yes, Mr. Schorr, the Islamofascists — the ones who want us dead — are, indeed, that "sadistic." This shows that a lot of people, who should know better, still don't get it. When Muslims kill Muslims: When it comes to maiming and killing, the Arab-Muslim world holds a place of prominence. In particular, the ancient land between two rivers, now Iraq, has proven to be greatly fertile as killing fields. Beauty pageants can be murder: Inasmuch as liberals are demanding that Americans ritualistically proclaim, "Islam is a religion of peace," Muslims might do their part by not killing people all the time. Recently, the Religion of Peace suffered a PR setback when Muslims in Nigeria welcomed the Miss World beauty pageant by slaughtering Christians in the street and burning churches to the ground. At last count, more than 200 people were dead, hundreds more were injured and thousands were left without homes. The battle over Islam: Islam now stands at a crossroads. And the burden rests on the majority who call Islam a "religion of peace" to show us what they mean. By the Word or by the Sword: President has gone out of his way to assure Americans that they have nothing to fear from the religion of Islam. "These acts of violence against innocents," declared President Bush, "violate the fundamental tenets of the Islamic faith." Is the President right? Is Islam fundamentally a peaceful religion? Why not say it bluntly? Islam is an aggressive, violent political ideology. It may be that Islam in its true form is as gentle as a lamb. But in the real world, it is an aggressive, violent political ideology. It may also be that a majority of U.S. Muslims object to the jihad being waged against infidel Christians, Jews, Hindus, atheists, agnostics and democrats of all denominations. But if so, they are keeping it to themselves. Islam is a religion of WHAT?. Standing on Atlantic Avenue in Brooklyn, on the afternoon of September 11, 2001, … the residents of the neighborhood danced in the streets, laughing, shouting to each other, shaking hands. These people were not what one would suppose to be fanatical or militant Muslims. … They were American citizens however, who were expressing their judgment — joy at the events of that horrible day that forever changed our world and America's place in that world. They were also the followers of Islam: religion of oppression, discrimination, violence, terror, war, superstition, intolerance and prejudice. What you need to know about the 'religion of peace'. There are millions of peaceful Muslims … but the fact is that radical Muslims are using core texts of Islam that are deeply rooted in Islamic theology, tradition, history and law to justify their actions, and those radical Muslims are able to recruit and motivate terrorists around the world by appealing to these core Islamic texts. What you need to know about the 'religion of peace', Part II. A recent poll in the Palestinian Authority indicated that 71 percent [of Muslims] approved of suicide attacks against civilians in Israel. Noncombatants are not to be targeted … but if they are considered to be aiding in the war effort, then they can legitimately be fought. This is the justification that Osama bin Laden used for 9/11, and the Palestinians use for suicide bombing attacks in Israel. Religion Of Peace? In the wake of the cartoon jihad and mosque-on-mosque violence in Iraq, most Americans now think Islam has more violent believers than any other faith. Yet many still view it as a "peaceful religion." Psychologists might call this cognitive dissonance — a state of mind where rational people essentially lie to themselves. But in this case, it's understandable. In our politically correct culture, criticizing any religion, even one that plots our destruction, is still taboo. And no one wants to suggest the terrorists are driven by their holy text. Dear Muslims: What is It that You Don't Understand? We, the non-Muslims — the infidels, heathens, unbelievers, apostates, enemies of Allah, najis (soiled), as you prefer to call us — would like to know what is it that you don't understand and what is it that makes you behave so badly toward us? You blame us for your problems and believe if we embrace Islam and help establish the Islamic ummah, the earth would be cleansed of us, transformed to paradise, and all your problems disappear? What A Muslim Really Wants: The most comprehensive survey of attitudes toward terrorism in the Islamic world (over 9,000 respondents in nine Muslim countries were polled by Gallup in 2002) showed entrenched anti-Americanism, seething rage and a total disconnect from reality. Only 19% of those surveyed believed the 9/11 hijackers were Arabs. Evil across our planet: More than 4,000 people have died as Islamic terrorism has spread across the world over the last decade. Islam, a Religion of Peace — or of Violence? Instantly after the atrocities of 9/11 our president George Bush sought out the head imam in Washington. He took the podium with him to proclaim, and to ensure one and all, that "Islam is a religion of peace." … Our president is grievously mistaken. Islam is not a religion of peace, but a religion of violence. Five questions non-Muslims would like answered. [Question #4] Why are so many atrocities committed and threatened by Muslims in the name of Islam? Young girls in Indonesia were recently beheaded by Muslim murderers. Last year, Muslims — in the name of Islam — murdered hundreds of schoolchildren in Russia. While reciting Muslim prayers, Islamic terrorists take foreigners working to make Iraq free and slaughter them. Muslim daughters are murdered by their own families in the thousands in "honor killings." And the Muslim government in Iran has publicly called for the extermination of Israel. What right have Muslims to claim moral superiority? The West is not free from sin. But what sets this type of murder apart is that the perpetrators believe that what they are doing is morally justified. In another (dis)honour killing in 2001, Faqir Mohammed stabbed his daughter 20 times in the head and stomach. He told police: "According to the law it was not right, but according to religion it was right." Hawking hell. As T. S. Eliot once observed, "No culture can appear or develop except in relation to a religion." And fundamentalist Islam remains the creed of Afghanistan. The Taliban was not a foreign pathogen, but a malignancy naturally arising from within that state. 'Peaceful' PA official praises suicide bombers. Speech in Arabic language belies his pronouncements in English. Hamas defends suicide blast. Monday's suicide bombing in Tel Aviv [4/17/2006], which killed seven people, was a part of the Palestinian right to self-defence, a spokesperson for the ruling Hamas party said in Gaza. Islamic terrorists shot aid couple as they watched TV. A husband and wife who dedicated their lives to helping African children were murdered in cold blood by Islamic terrorists, an inquest heard yesterday. Dick and Enid Eyeington were watching television at their home in Somaliland when a terrorist linked to al-Qaeda shot them. The couple were considered "infidels" by their attackers, who wrongly believed that they were trying to convert Africans to Christianity. A religion of peace? Really? Western Muslims' Racist Rape Spree. In Australia, Norway, Sweden and other Western nations, there is a distinct race-based crime in motion being ignored by the diversity police: Islamic men are raping Western women for ethnic reasons. We know this because the rapists have openly declared their sectarian motivations. Raped for reading the Bible. An Iraqi man allegedly raped a Muslim woman as "punishment" for reading the Bible, saying, "let your Jesus help you", a court [in Australia] heard yesterday. Saudi Marriage 'Expert' Advices Men In the 'Right Way' to Beat Their Wives. Move over, Dr. Phil, there's a new relationship expert in town. He's Saudi author and cleric, "Dr." Muhammad Al-'Arifi, who in a remarkable segment broadcast on Saudi and Kuwaiti television in September, counseled young Muslim men on how to treat their wives. Cleric 'predicted bombings'. Television footage was screened on Friday of radical Muslim cleric Omar Bakri Mohammed apparently predicting terrorists would strike on the British mainland several months before the July 7 London bombings. … Bakri famously praised the September 11 hijackers as "magnificent". He then triggered further outrage after the July 7 bombings when he said he would never tip off police if he knew a Muslim was about to carry out an attack. Islam: A religion of peace? Canada faces a unique dilemma because the doctrine of multiculturalism is seen as intrinsic to our national identity. The recent disruption of an alleged homegrown Islamist terror plot has caused many Canadians to ask: How can multiculturalism — which preaches tolerance above all else — be squared with a militant, intolerant creed that demonizes non-believers? Islam Is not a Religion of Peace. The U. S. has many predominantly Muslim allies. We are largely dependent on Arab oil. Much of the press and public have bought into the multiculturalist nonsense that the Clinton and Bush Administrations have helped to instill. Probably the less said the better, but we should not determine our foreign policy and strategy in the Mideast on the utterly false and laughable proposition that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance. Killers Defy the Koran. It's time to stop calling the global terrorists Islamic fundamentalists. The slaughter of the Russian children in Beslan has absolutely nothing to do with Islam. If the Islamic community does not rise up en masse against the fanatics who dare to use the name of Allah while committing these atrocities, they need to stop insisting Islam is a religion of peace. Iran's new president promotes suicide squads. In the second TV appearance since his election victory, Iranian President-elect Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad spoke in praise of "the art of martyrdom" as volunteers continued to mobilize for suicide squads aimed at U.S., British and Israeli forces. Religious hatred, Saudi-style. Before Sept. 11, 2001, the notion that literature in mosques could be dangerous might have struck some as alarmist. But of the 19 terrorist-hijackers that day, 15 were Saudi, and all of them were steeped in the relentless hostility to "infidels" that the Saudi publications inculcate. For some, the mosques were a crucial resource. A religion of peace? Al-Qaida-related group attacks pastor. A Muslim extremist group tied to al-Qaida set fire to the house of a well-known pastor in Pakistan who had been warned to "repent" and return to Islam. Fighting Radical Islam: Where is the worldwide condemnation of these latest killings by the political and religious leaders of Muslim countries? Where are the U.N. resolutions sponsored by France and Germany condemning what occurred? Terrorism: "Everything To Do With Islam," Says Author: Robert Spencer, author of Islam Unveiled and an adjunct fellow at the conservative think tank Free Congress Foundation, believes Islam's theological foundation is creating many of today's terrorists and would-be terrorists. Spencer's book takes a critical look at the religion of Islam, its holy book, The Koran, its prophet Muhammad and concludes that the religion is producing violent behavior in a significant numbers of its adherents. Khilafah: The Move Toward A One-World Islamic Government. Exactly what it is that Islamists want? They're murdering innocent people around the world, disrupting commerce with their attacks on ships and businesses, attacking churches and temples, and broadcasting threats to the world almost daily. Iran is the Root of Islamic Terrorism. Destroying its theocracy would be a major victory in the war on terrorists. Islam: a religion of peace? A "religion of peace," says President Bush about Islam. But investigative journalist Robert Spencer, in his new book "Onward Muslim Soldiers: How Jihad Still Threatens America and the West," argues that what we call "Islamic extremism" stems from a straightforward reading of the Koran and interpretative Islamic texts. The Willingness To Kill Or Be Killed In The Name Of A Peaceful And Caring Allah! Terrorists wage war on the defenseless civilian population … and these demented maniacs specifically target women and children. Slouching Toward "2084". The Dutch novelist Margriet de Moor, writing in a German newspaper, wants to know whether anyone is at work on a novel titled "2084." … Ms. de Moor describes a visit to a Dutch shelter for battered women, where typically 80 percent of the women are Muslims. Sheik says "It's OK to kill non-Muslims": "If a kafir person (non-believer) goes in a Muslim country, he is like a cow," explains Sheik Abu Hamza. "Anybody can take him. That is the Islamic law." Update: It's in the Book: Sheik Abu Hamza claims that he cannot be accused of inciting violence because he is a cleric who only preaches Muslim law. "I say the reality that's in the Muslim books anyway. Whether I say it or not, it's in the books." Day of the Locusts: Today, leaders and diplomats are claiming, "Islam is a religion of peace." But everything in Islam's history cries out against this. Most wars taking place right now are between Moslems and some other group or nation. The truth is, Islam was born in violence, and it has been a religion of the sword ever since. Mullahs and ayatollahs enforce Islam's laws by flogging people and by chopping off their fingers, limbs or heads. Boys forced into Muslim flogging ritual. A devout Muslim encouraged two teenage boys to flog themselves until their backs were covered in bloody cuts, a jury was told yesterday. Syed Mustafa Zaidi, 44, a Shia Muslim, was celebrating the traditional Ashura festival, a ritual act of lamentation commemorating the slaughter of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Husayn, and his followers in the 14th century. Islamists – not who they say they are: Those Moslems variously known as fundamentalists or Islamists often appear to outsiders to be the most authentic adherents of their faith. They refer constantly to God and conspicuously pray in public. Men sport full beards and women wear veils. They urge Moslem solidarity and demonstrate a suspicion of non-Moslems. A closer look, however, finds that Islamists are hardly model Moslems. Religion of peace kills 200 in Nigeria: Hundreds of Muslim youths have gone on the rampage in Nigeria's capital, Abuja, following Friday prayers. The BBC's Haruna Bahago in Abuja says people armed with sticks, daggers and knives set fire to vehicles and attacked anyone they suspected of being Christian. Declare War on Wahhabism: It was not by accident that 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 murders were Wahhabi from Saudi Arabia. Or that the Taliban was the ideal form of Wahhabite government. Or that bin Laden himself is a Wahhabite Saudi. Wahhabism, masquerading as a religion, has a network of Mosques and schools worldwide which are poisoning the young and sowing hatred. Our own PC military is seeking additional Wahhabite clergy. Wahhabite clergy teach in our prisons. The Altar of Death Worship: "We believe our sons go to heaven when they are martyred. When Jewish sons die, they go to hell." Are All Muslims Terrorists? Recently I decided to look further into the Muslim religion. So I went straight to the Koran: the core of Islam. What I have found is absolutely shocking! The Culture of Martyrdom: How suicide bombing became not just a means but an end. Looking Evil in the Face: Danny Pearl was murdered not for any crime or other misdeed he might have committed. He was murdered just because he was an American, a Jew and a reporter. The Toleration of Evil: It is time the world recognizes Palestinian terrorism as a form, indeed the heir, of Nazism. It is time Israel demanded that the toleration of such evil no longer be accepted by civilized societies. It is time for human garbage such as Robert Mugabe, Saddam Hussein and Yasser Arafat be disposed of along with Osama bin Laden. Peace, prosperity and civilization itself can be achieved only by the refusal to tolerate the evil such men embody. Omissions in Arafat's Obituary: The death of Yasser Arafat has spurred the United Nations to fly its flag at half-staff, noting his supposed contribution to peace in the Middle East. … What the U.N. failed to note in its memorial service is the place in history Arafat holds as the father of modern terrorism. He presided over the operation resulting in the massacre of the Israeli Olympic athletes in Munich by Black September in 1972. The following year Arafat became the first Arab terrorist to target Americans. Arafat killed more Jews than anyone since Hitler. "He had more Jewish blood on his hands than anybody since Hitler. He was a strategist of the murder of women, children and the aged. No normal nation would have dedicated this amount of endless broadcasts to a person responsible for the deaths of so many of their kin," aides close to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said in what appeared to be a rebuke to the media for its exhaustive coverage of the burial of the Palestinian leader. No Tears for Arafat. Yassir Arafat was a career killer. A mass murderer. A creature that aspired to political power on a growing pyramid of bodies, the method of any other ambitious tyrant. There is no justification whatsoever for calling him as a "hero," "statesman," "freedom fighter," "president," or even a "militant." All the evasive euphemisms in the world will not conceal the fact that he was a killer. Arafat's Legacy: A Palestinian "Culture of Suicide". Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat is Exhibit A for the proposition that the Nobel Peace Prize Committee in Norway needs to adopt a provision allowing the prize to be revoked in case of bad behavior. Not only did Arafat debase the premise for his award; he made it horrifically difficult for any other Palestinian to be a peacemaker. He fostered a culture of suicide among his people that may be impossible to undo. After Arafat. Americans never understood that Arafat saw himself completely differently, as an anti-imperialist revolutionary in the mold of Ho Chi Minh, Mao and Castro. Like them, his motto was "revolution unto victory." Total victory. No half loaf. And given Israel's stubborn refusal to die, Arafat's cause became sustaining the struggle — the revolution — indefinitely, almost as an end in itself. Arafat the monster. Yasser Arafat died at the age of 75, lying in bed and surrounded by familiar faces. He left this world peacefully, unlike the thousands of victims he sent to early graves. Update: Arafat Died of AIDS, Fellow Terrorist Says. Former Palestine Liberation Organization and Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat died of AIDS, Secretary-General of the Palestinian Front for the Liberation of Palestine General Command Ahmed Jibril said. "Relentlessly and Thoroughly": The only way to respond. Islam is an imperialist religion, more so than Christianity has ever been, and in contrast to Judaism. The Koran insists that nations, however mighty, must be fought "until they embrace Islam." JIHAD: Unmasking America's new enemy Islamism is a brutal, coercive utopian movement — a politicized and virulent interpretation and implementation of Islam — bent on nothing less than The Battle Over Islam: Oh, certainly, Arab leaders and others issued statements condemning the September 11 attacks, but take a look at the fine print. Other interesting web sites: Jihad Watch. Because the West is facing a concerted effort by radical Muslims, most of whom are ignored by the Western media, to destroy the West and bring it forcibly into the Islamic world. That effort goes under the general rubric of jihad. Jihad Watch is dedicated to bringing public attention to the role that jihad theology and ideology plays in the modern world, and to correcting popular misconceptions about the role of jihad and religion in modern-day conflicts. We hope to alert people of good will to the true nature of the present global conflict that radical Islam is waging against the rest of us.  Islam: The Religion of Peace -- and Terror.
