It’s In Our Genes – Syrian Actress is Not a Happy Camper

March 31st, 2009 by admin

hateful_syrian_actress

Syrian actress Amal ‘Arafa hates Israel. She says that hatred of Israel is in “her genes”. She says it’s part of her Syrian upbringing.  She says that she will pass this hatred of Israel down to future generations. This assertion and public display of hatred is a shocking thing for us, but part of the doctrine of Islam for her and her countrymen.

Ms. Arafa says that hatred of Israel is in her genes. But she is not being literal here, rather she is referencing her Islamic upbringing which preaches a particular hatred against Jews, Christians and all non-believers. This kind of public display of intolerance is shocking to American ears. We live in a country of tolerance and openness, we accept the difference’s of others and welcome them, even haters like Ms. Arafa into our fold. We hope that our concepts of freedom, tolerance, and acceptance will be so attractive that even folks like Ms. Arafa, filled with hate confident in her hate will be converted to our ways of acceptance and openness.

Americans can barely conceive that this level of hatred, this cold calculated hate can be so common and so encouraged in other cultures. Our Judeo-Christian heritage provides us all with a foundation of tolerance for others and encourages us to be accepting and considerate to everyone, not just fellow Christians and Jews. This is why the United States has been a haven for those persecuted for religious reasons for generations.

However, the ideology of Islam does not share this concept of kindness and acceptance. Islam is a dualistic ideology with kindness, charity and goodness reserved only for Muslims, and warfare and violence for the non-believers, the kafirs, everywhere and forever.

Understanding the concept of Islamic duality is the key to understanding the brutality of terrorists, the cruelty of Sharia, the horror of the dhimmi and the fate that awaits all kafir states and cultures that come under the authority of Mohammed’s ideology.  When you understand that the ideals of charity and goodwill that we in the West hold in such high esteem are reserved only for Muslims to each other in the ideology of Islam the horrific actions of terrorists and the falsehoods and cruelty of jihadists quickly come into focus. Even the Islamic doctrine itself is dualistic and this is where duality originates.

The Meccan koran was written during a period of unsuccessful religious expansion for Mohammed. Few accepted Islam. When Mohammed moved to Mecca the koran changed along with Mohammed. Instead of a prophet spreading a peaceful religion, Mohammed became a warlord and with warfare and violence spread Islam across Arabia.

Unfortunately for every non-believer the violent koran was written after the peaceful koran. In koranic study the  later verses abrogate the previous verses, but all are considered true.

This means that the violent verses are considered more “powerful” than the earlier more peaceful verses written during Mohammed’s Meccan period. So, in Islamic ideology one can be violent and peaceful at the same time, and one can be good and bad at the same time, both contrary conditions are “true”, but the later verses are “more true” due to abrogation

This apparent contrary concept that is so foreign to most westerners is the foundation of jihad and Islamism as it is the unification of opposites. In western unitarian thinking/logic a positive assertion has a negative opposite, one is true and the other false; both cannot be true. However, in Islamic epistemology one can be both good and evil, true and false, violent and peaceful. The koran is clear on this point. This is a new way of thinking for most Americans and the key to understanding jihad, and political Islam altogether.

This brings us back to our unhappy camper, the Syrian actress. She appears to be a professional, articulate, even pleasant and attractive, but she is full of hate. One could make the case that perhaps she hates Israel because of some event or some policy of the state of Israel, but what is more important to understand is that any people living in Israel, Hindu, Christian, Buddist, Zoroastrian, etc., any non-believer people would be the subject of her bile. Why? This is because the lessons that are now in “her genes” come directly from the doctrine of political Islam as found in the koran, hadith, and suna. This doctrine is the foundation of political Islam.

Every non-believer is a kafir, Islam is at war with kafirs everywhere and forever. Bringing the entire world under Islamic rule is the purpose of Islam as commanded by Mohammed, this is the only path to dar al Islam, the “House of Peace”. As a dualist in a dualistic philosophy the unhappy hateful actress can be both a hater and a professional, a peaceful Muslim to other Muslims full of charity and courtesy but a jihadist to all non-believers. This is commanded in the koran. To do otherwise would not be fulfilment of the wishes of Allah and the command of his prophet Mohammed, the finest example of humanity that all Muslims everywhere are to emulate.

Jihad Against the Kafirs… Everywhere, Forever

A building full of kafirs falls. Jihad.

Rescuing the Palestinians from Themselves – Immigration Concerns

March 30th, 2009 by admin

On January 27, 2009,  the President signed a Presidential Determination outlining the multimillions of dollars that the United States will spend to repatriate Palestinians to the United States. As a Gateway city, Nashville is sure to see an influx of Palestinians running from the violence and squalor of their failed Palestinian Authority and the destruction of Gaza that they themselves caused through their endless rocket fire against Israel (and murder of its people). One can hardly blame them.

But there is a potential problem; a serious problem for folks in Nashville and across the US. We know that Hamas is a terrorist organization. We know this because our own Department of State lists them as a terror organization and we know from their statements and their so-called “constitution” that they are cruel and hyper-violent terrorists; but more importantly we know from their actions of killing innocents indiscriminately across Israel (including Americans) that they are a terror organization. This is their path, and their purpose.

Sections of Hamas “Constitution” (source):

4. Regarding peace, its Article 13 is totally negative: “Initiatives, and so-called peaceful solutions and international conferences, are in contradiction to the principles of the Islamic Resistance Movement. Abusing any part of Palestine is abuse against part of religion. Nationalism of the Islamic Resistance Movement is part of its religion. Its members have been fed on that. (.) There is no solution to the Palestinian question except by Jihad. All initiatives, proposals, and International Conferences are a waste of time and vain endeavours.”

5. Religious hatred of Jews (not only of Israel) is expressed by a hadith or ’saying’ that concludes Article 7: “The Day of Judgment will not come about until Muslims fight the Jews (killing the Jews) when the Jew will hide behind stones and trees. The stones and trees will say: O Muslims (.) there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him. “Only the gharkad tree [evidently a certain kind of tree] would not do that because it is one of the trees of the Jews.” (this hadith, quoted from al-Bukhari and Muslim, both considered as highly reliable sources for the hadith or ’sayings’ of the Prophet Muhammad).

6. Article 8, the slogan of the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas (widely quoted by clerics and others) is a blueprint for jihadist terrorism: “Allah is its target, the Prophet is its model, the Koran its Constitution; Jihad is its path, and death for the sake of Allah is the loftiest of its wishes.”

 The text of the Presidential Order is as follows (see the document: presidential_documents_c2bb_federal_register_fr_doc_e9-2488_sun_mar_29_2009):

DOCID: fr04fe09-106
DOCUMENT SUMMARY:
[[Page 6115]]
Presidential Determination No. 2009-15 of January 27, 2009
Unexpected Urgent Refugee and Migration Needs Related To Gaza

Memorandum for the Secretary of State
By the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, including section 2(c)(1) of the Migration and Refugee Assistance Act of 1962 (the “Act”), as amended (22 U.S.C. 2601), I hereby determine, pursuant to section 2(c)(1) of the Act, that it is important to the national interest to furnish assistance under the Act in an amount not to exceed $20.3 million from the United States Emergency Refugee and Migration Assistance Fund for the purpose of meeting unexpected and urgent refugee and migration needs, including by contributions to international, governmental, and nongovernmental organizations and payment of administrative expenses of Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration of the Department of State, related to humanitarian needs of Palestinian refugees and conflict victims in Gaza.
You are authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
(Presidential Sig.)
THE WHITE HOUSE,
Washington, January 27, 2009

Plans are in place, monies are to be spent not to exceed “20.3 million” to help with the “urgent and unexpected refugee and migration needs” of the Palestinians of Gaza. Now, the first question is why don’t the Palestinians from Gaza relocate to the West Bank? If they prefer not to live so close to Israel, why not relocate to any number of Arab states? This is something of a conundrum and we’ve not the space to cover such weighty matters in this post.

What is important is this: Hamas won their democratic election to govern Gaza by a landslide. While it is true that Palestinian voters had the difficult choice between one corrupt terrorist group and another corrupt terrorist group, they chose the corrupt terrorist group with no interest in peace with Israel and that supports active violent jihad against the US. The election of Hamas was a mandate for endless jihad against Jews, and all-unbelievers – especially if they happened to live in Israel.

As Hamas came to power in a landslide electoral victory, most Palestinians supported them, worked for and with them, voted for them, or are Hamas members. How will US government immigration authorities vet Palestinian “refugees” from Gaza so that no Hamas members are allowed into the country, and anyone with Hamas and jihadist sympathies is excluded from coming to the United States? What safeguards will be put in place to protect the people of Nashville or any other American city or town in which Palestinians are to settle when the millions of our tax dollars are spent rescuing them from their own self-destructive course of warfare, terrorism, violence, hatred, jihad, and murder? What assurances will the Obama Administration give to host state and local authorities that newly arrived Palestinian “refuges” are not jihadist terrorists, Hamas members and Islamist supremicists whose goal is the undermining of the United States, its government, religious freedom and tolerance, and culture? There is no language in the document above funding Palestinian relocation to the US that could provide any answers, but these are the answers that must be provided to authorities in Nashville and other cities who will host these new-comers to our shores.

We must be assured, there must be surity, and certain proof provided that these new-comers come in peace –  prepared to accept our laws and our religions, and culture. If no such proofs are provided this program is another step in our self-hating program of pretending that political Islam and its adherents are not a great and existential threat to our country and our people and democratic way of life.

Such a course is nothing less than national insanity, and national suicide.

Israel in Geopolitical Context

March 29th, 2009 by admin

The creator of this graphic is on the right track. Irony and geography are effective illustrators.

When viewed in context many of the complaints of the Islamic world against Israel take on a certain absurd quality. The image would be more accurate by replacing the term “Arab” with “Islamic” (Iran is not an Arab country, for example, it is Persian).

israelincontext

Israel is not much bigger than Rhode Island, it is the only democracy in a sea of petty dictatorships and totalitarian regimes. It is surrounded on all sides by enemies that hate Israel only because it exists, and the sea. Israel is the only Jewish state on the planet. Islam is fundamentally anti-Jew. The existence of a Jewish state in the heart of the Muslim world is seen by political Islam as an affront. The so called “Israeli-Palestinian Conflict” and “cycle of violence” is nothing more than permanent jihad against Israel. As the front line against jihad in the world, our only democratic ally in the Middle East, and the homeland of the Jews, all Americans should support Israel.

Clerics across the Islamic world place the war against Israel in jihad contexts.

Part V – ‘The Palestinian Struggle Must be An Islamic Jihad’
In Saudi sermons, preachers place special emphasis on the Islamic nature of the Palestinian cause. The national Arab movement is often ridiculed and condemned by Saudi preachers, who insist that the only way to liberate Palestine is through Jihad.

Sheikh ‘Abd Al-’Aziz Qari expanded on this issue in a sermon at the Qabaa mosque in Al-Madina: “What has the national Pan-Arab movement been doing for the past 40 years? What has it done in the conflict with the Jewish nation? The national movement [based on] land, and the racist pan-Arab movement, have been defeated by the apes and pigs [referring to the Jews]. Furthermore, the repeated defeats of the past 40 years have become the trademark of the national land movement and the movement of Pan-Arab racism. They go on fighting in the name of the olive and orange groves and the watermelon [fields]. The nationalist men of the soil and of the Pan-Arab racism have been wandering for the past 40 years, refusing to return to their religion, to their Islam. They are reluctant [to consider] the battle between them and the nation of the Torah, the nation of Israel – an Islamic battle. The Jews are fleeing to their religion, seeking [roots] for unity and power, while the Arabs flee from their religion, from their Islam…”

“They feed their nation and their people’s false, useless slogans that will never give them the power to confront the Jews who wave the banners of Torah and Israel. The war between us and the Jews is, in truth, a religious war, and only Islam can wage it in the path of truth… It is a divine decree, a military-political decree, a religious decree, but it is not directed at those who still fight in the name of the olives, the oranges, and the watermelon. It is a divine decree directed at the nation of Jihad, the Islamic nation, the Muslims… “

Israel is the front-line of the permanent jihad war against the kafirs, the never-ending war of Islam against unbelievers everywhere.  The enmity of political Islam is not reserved for the Jews by any means; every non-believer religion and culture is considered kafir by Islam. To bring the world into peace (dar-al Islam) according to Islam, all the world must be ruled by Islam. No other religions and no other political systems are permitted to exist. Mohammed’s doctrine is quite clear on this point.

In fact, consider this: if every Jew in Israel were replaced by a Christian, a Bhuddist, or a Hindu so that no Jews remained there Israel would continue to be the front line of Jihad in the world. This is so because jihad is not reserved for the Jews jihad applies to all non-believers, all kafirs everywhere and forever.

On March 31, 1977, the Dutch newspaper Trouw (”Dagblad de Verdieping Trouw”), published an interview with Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, this is what he said. (Reference from WND.)

The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct “Palestinian people” to oppose Zionism.

For tactical reasons, Jordan, which is a sovereign state with defined borders, cannot raise claims to Haifa and Jaffa, while as a Palestinian, I can undoubtedly demand Haifa, Jaffa, Beer-Sheva and Jerusalem. However, the moment we reclaim our right to all of Palestine, we will not wait even a minute to unite Palestine and Jordan.

Disturbing Events in Britain – Children “at risk” to Become Islamic Terrorists

March 27th, 2009 by admin

England’s Independent has a stunning story this evening.

Police identify 200 children as potential terrorists

Two hundred schoolchildren in Britain, some as young as 13, have been identified as potential terrorists by a police scheme that aims to spot youngsters who are “vulnerable” to Islamic radicalisation.

The number was revealed to The Independent by Sir Norman Bettison, the chief constable of West Yorkshire Police and Britain’s most senior officer in charge of terror prevention.

He said the “Channel project” had intervened in the cases of at least 200 children who were thought to be at risk of extremism, since it began 18 months ago. The number has leapt from 10 children identified by June 2008….

Perhaps this is what English police consider good neighborhood “policing”. But there is much more to this.

The programme, run by the Association of Chief Police Officers, asks teachers, parents and other community figures to be vigilant for signs that may indicate an attraction to extreme views or susceptibility to being “groomed” by radicalisers. Sir Norman, whose force covers the area in which all four 7 July 2005 bombers grew up, said: “What will often manifest itself is what might be regarded as racism and the adoption of bad attitudes towards ‘the West’.

The problem in this approach is that the ideology of Islam as written in the doctrine of koran, sunna, and hadith commands all adherents of Islam to hate and conquer all kafirs (non-believers) forever and everywhere.  The entire world, no matter what their beliefs, religion, or political system must live under Sharia law, Islamic law. All Muslims must participate in endless war to bring the entire world under Islam via jihad. This is an obligation incumbent on every Muslim.

What the well-meaning police officials in England are missing is the ideology of Islam that puts all Muslim children at risk of being “radicalised”. This term “radicalised” is entirely inappropriate and problematic because it is a western concept. Muslims who follow the doctrine of koran, sunna, and hadith; Muslims who participate in violent jihad are not at all “extremist” in their conception of the term. They are following their doctrine, which makes them in fact good observant and “moderate” Muslims. Our language of engagement is mistaken. The doctrine of Islam is quite clear… Muslims who follow the violent way of Mohammed are following the doctrine of Islam. This is not “extremism” it is the middle way, the way of Mohammed and the path that Muslims are commanded to take.

2:216-Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But God knoweth, and ye know not.

 In this Ayah, Allah made it obligatory for the Muslims to fight in Jihad against the evil of the enemy who transgress against Islam. Az-Zuhri said, “Jihad is required from every person, whether he actually joins the fighting or remains behind. Whoever remains behind is required to give support, if support is warranted; to provide aid, if aid is needed; and to march forth, if he is commanded to do so. If he is not needed, then he remains behind.”

Children raised in a violent and intolerant political ideology are not “extremists” when they follow the teachings of the philosophy in which they were raised. In our understanding of civilized behavior, yes, it is extremism. But within Islam, such behavior is moderation and observance. The koran mandates jihad, and permanent war against the non-believers. This is our world.

We are targeting criminals and would-be terrorists who happen to be cloaking themselves in Islamic rhetoric. That is not the same as targeting the Muslim community.”

Nor was it criminalising children, he added. “The analogy I use is that it is similar to our well-established drugs intervention programmes. Teachers in schools are trained to identify pupils who might be experimenting with drugs, take them to one side and talk to them. That does not automatically mean that these kids are going to become crack cocaine or heroin addicts. The same is true around this issue.”

The ideology of Islam must be the target. The ideology of Islam is at the root of jihad, and jihad is a direct threat to the existence of the United States and every non-Islamic country and culture in the world. Until Islam is reformed and the violence is repudiated from the ideology, this is our world, the greatest threat to peace and freedom for the last 1400 years.

Shelbyville Faces a Daunting Challenge

March 27th, 2009 by admin

Our friends to the south are having a difficult time absorbing a sizable Somali Muslim community that has no interest in being absorbed. Assimilation is contrary to the purposes of political Islam. Changing the host culture to accept Sharia law is the goal of political Islam. Sharia law (Islam’s “Legal System”) is fundamentally alien and contrary to our democratic concepts of freedom of speech, association, religion, and equal rights under the law. Under Sharia law Muslims are more equal than everyone else.

“Their culture is totally alien to anything the residents are used to,” Mosely added.

The problems extend to local schools–where some Somali students won’t talk to female administrators. There have also been issues with local law enforcement.

“I’m not really sure whether that is because of experiences with the police in their country, or whether that’s just the way their culture is,” said Shelbyville’s Police Chief, Austin Swing.

Shelbyville is home to about 17,000 people. The town’s Somali population is estimated to be between 400 and 1,000.

Mosely says the Somalis have isolated themselves from the rest of the community.

“We’re talking about people who have not had any experience with Western civilization,” he explained. “They don’t know the language. Things like running water are a miracle to some of these folks…you don’t take people from a totally alien culture, put them into a community, and then say ‘alright, you must get along.’

A Nightmare: Women and Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia

March 26th, 2009 by admin

M.A. Khan the author of the recent published and highly regarded history of jihad, Islamic Jihad: A Legacy of Forced Conversion, Imperialism, and Slavery, has written a fascinating study of the appalling plight of women  who have the misfortune to live under sharia in Saudi Arabia. It is not a pretty picture.  Read the entire piece here, on Islam-Watch.org.

What people in the West must make themselves aware of is that Sharia laws are extremely discriminatory, indeed humiliating and degrading, toward non-Muslims. It is also highly discriminatory and humiliating toward Muslim women.

Mr. Khan is a former Muslim, and has a fascinating personal story to tell. He was interviewed on FrontPage Magazine, recently posted here . Mr. Khan is a truth-teller. We support truth-tellers.

You hear from the media that only a small percentage of Muslims, the radicalized ones, support the 9/11 attacks. I can assure you that an overwhelming majority of believing Muslims feel a sense of justification for the 9/11 attacks. However, very few of them will confess it, especially when Western media do the survey.

Where is the Outrage? It is Soaked in Oil

March 25th, 2009 by admin

Recently an elderly widow in Saudi Arabia, our ally and leading supplier of oil, was sentenced to 40 lashes for “mingling” with two men who are not her relatives. The assumption on the part of the Islamic authorities is that any woman in the company of men who are not related must be doing something “inappropriate”. But this is a kind “take” on the matter.

In actuality this abomination, for which Saudi Arabia should be universally condemned, is Sharia law in action. The implementation of Sharia law across the world is the goal of Islamists and jihadists everywhere.

Spreading of Sharia is in the doctrine of the Koran, Sira, and Hadith; Islam must rule the world. You’ve heard of the terms Dar al-Harb and Dar al-Islam? Dar al-Harb is the “House of War”; this is the condition of those sections of the planet Earth that are not under Islamic rule. War against kafirs (unbelievers) forever and universal is a fundamental component and commandment of political Islam. Dar al-Islam is the “House of Peace”.

Interestingly, for us kafirs, is how do we get from the house of war to the house of peace? The only way to get to the so-called “House of Peace” is to be ruled by Islam. For kafirs this means conversion, death, or dhimmitude (semi-slavery).

So, everywhere that is not under Islam is forever at war with Islam and its adherents, and whereever Islam is in control, that is the “House of Peace”.

In the so-called “House of Peace” whose capitol must certainly be the Saudi kingdom, old women are lashed for associating with men who are not their relatives. This is not any concept of “civilization” or “justice” that anyone in the West, male of female can possibly comprehend let alone condone.

Sharia law is contrary to universally understood concepts of human rights, contrary to the rights of women; it is anti-Jew, anti-Christian, anti-all unbelievers (kafirs).

The idea of a “legal system” mandating the torture of an elderly widow because she is out of line with the impossible (and impossible to believe) mandates of a brutal and oppressive political ideology is almost too much to believe.

Even the New York Times has covered this shocking story.

A 75-year-old widow living in Saudi Arabia has been sentenced to 40 lashes and four months in jail for mingling with two young men who are not close relatives, her lawyer said Monday. The newspaper Al Watan said the woman, Khamisa Sawadi, met with two 24-year-old men in April after she asked them to bring five loaves of bread to her home. The two men, her nephew and his business partner, were arrested by the religious police after delivering the bread, the newspaper said. They were also sentenced to lashes and imprisonment. The verdict against Ms. Sawadi, a Syrian who was married to a Saudi, also orders her deportation after her sentence is served. Her lawyer said he would appeal. <more>

There is one letter to the editor on this story that the NYT has posted online. It is worthy of our appreciation and our attention. People who know the truth of political Islam, who see the abhorrent things that followers of this cruel and violent ideology do under Sharia, cannot but understand that Sharia and political Islam itself are existential threats to us all. History shows this, and our daily experience of the banality, cruelty, and anti-civilizational actions of the followers of this astoundingly cruel and violent ideology of hatred and misogyny can only awaken people across the planet to this growing threat.

Re “Saudi Arabia: Lashes for Widow, 75” (World Briefing, March 10):

Where is the outrage over the sentencing of a 75-year-old widow in Saudi Arabia to 40 lashes and four months in jail for an innocuous meeting with a couple of young men, one of whom was her nephew?

Saudi Arabia’s scabrous treatment of women is indefensible. For all its wealth, it is a primitive country. There should be an immediate public outcry, and the United States should threaten to boycott its oil if this sentence isn’t rescinded.

This is the Salem witch hunt of the 21st century. It should not be condoned with silence. <Post can be read here.>

Demographic Islamization

March 25th, 2009 by admin

Unassimilating immigrants is not just a problem in Nashville, or Shelbyville, or Columbus, OH, or Minneapolis/St. Paul, it is a serious existential problem in Europe. The concept of the “great melting pot” that has always, until now, been at the core of American immigration policy and concepts is now under grave threat.

The ideology of Political Islam does not encourage assimilation, quite the contrary is true. The doctrine of political Islam is very specific, host cultures are to be conquered. There is no specific timeline – demographic conquest and cultural suicide now are working hand in hand in Europe so that the rise of Islam in Europe is the demise of western culture and political ideals of freedom, inclusiveness, and tolerance.  Rapid population growth and the refusal to assimilate and the assertion of Muslim Sharia “rights” in the host cultures is a form of jihad. Jihad is required of all adherents of the “religion of peace”.  Unfettered immigration and the tolerance of balkanized ghettoized non-assimilated sub-cultures is a growing threat here in the US, and is at almost existentially threatening levels across Europe. Have we the political will to enforce our laws and limit immigration to managable and reasonable levels?

Middle East Quarterly has a thorough examination of this problem.

Saudi Arabia – Ban Women from Television

March 24th, 2009 by admin

In Saudi Arabia… you know Saudi Arabia, the folks from whom we buy the bulk of our oil? Well, they don’t respect women very much there, at least not in the way that we in the west understand the term “respect”.

In fact, some Saudi clerics want to ban women from television. Political Islam is a misogynist and cruel philosophy. Some Saudi clerics want to ban women from TV. Think of that next to you fill up your gas tank with Saudi oil. Islam is very clear on this point: women are less then second class citizens and are not to be seen except with a male member of their family as escort. And when they are seen, they’d better be covered from head to foot. For these folks the images of women on television are a sign of “deviant thought”.

Think of the social constraints of 1950s America multiplied by a googleplex now you start to understand Saudi Arabia circa 2009.

Hardline Saudi clerics have called on the government to ban women from appearing on television and to prohibit their images in print media, which they called a sign of growing “deviant thought.”

In a letter to new Information Minister Abdul Aziz al-Khoja that appeared on websites this week, the 35 Islamic clerics also condemned the increase of music and dancing on television, as well as images of women in popular newspapers and magazines that they labelled “obscene.”

“Our faith in you is great to carry out media reform, for we have seen how perversity is rooted in the ministry of information and culture, on television, radio, in the press, literary clubs, and book fairs,” the letter said.

Bridges that Go Nowhere Must Fall

March 24th, 2009 by admin

French Jewish Organization CRIF Ends “Bridge Building” With Islam

The Representative Council of French Jewish Institutions (CRIF), the umbrella body of French Jewry, will not renew dialogue with French Muslim groups that equated Operation Cast Lead in Gaza with the Holocaust, the group’s vice president, Meyer Habib, told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.

This is a fascinating move away from multicultural lies and back to reality. What kind of bridge building can be accomplished with followers of a savage and cruel ideology that ascribes to the belief that Jews must be killed or made dhimmis/slaves? Where can the middle ground be between Jews and Islam? There is no middle ground.

Any philosophy that is fundamentally anti-Semitic and violent and anti-democratic should be shunned by Jews everywhere. There are no bridges to build.

Serge Trifkovic author of Sword of Islam and Defeating Jihad recommends total disengagement with Islam. And this is what the Jewish community must do – total disengagement from Islam and Islamists and a recognition of the fact that Islam is anti-Jewish. History shows it to be so, and the doctrine of Islam shows it to be so.

The only thing that Jews can hope for with Islam is a benevolent ambivalence from Islam, a condition of acceptance of Jews and non-involvement in Jewish affairs.  Jews can only hope for a live-and-let-live approach from Islam. Unfortunately, this is not at all what Islam is about.

Andrew Bostom, scholar of the history of Islamic jihad and Jew hatred puts it succinctly here:

There are short—term reasons behind the attacks on Israel by Hezbollah and Hamas. But underlying all the geo—strategy is a solid foundation of fanatical Jew—hatred, dating back to the founding of Islam. There is literally nothing Israel or Jews can do to appease those who seek to annihilate them.

This event in France is positive, and is just the beginning of a wider recognition of the dangers of political Islam and the particular danger that it represents to democracies and non-Muslims, kafirs, everywhere.
