Swiss ban Mosque Minarets
in Surprise Vote
GENEVA – 29 Nov. 2009: Swiss
voters overwhelmingly approved a constitutional ban on minarets on
Sunday, barring construction of the iconic mosque towers in a surprise
vote that put Switzerland at the forefront of a European backlash
against a growing Moslem population.
Moslem groups in Switzerland and abroad condemned the vote as biased and
anti-Islamic. Business groups said the decision hurt Switzerland's
international standing and could damage relations with Moslem nations
and wealthy investors who bank, travel and shop there.
"The Swiss have failed to give a clear signal for diversity, freedom of
religion and human rights," said Omar Al-Rawi, integration
representative of the Islamic Denomination in Austria, which said its
reaction was "grief and deep disappointment."
About 300 people turned out for a spontaneous demonstration on the
square outside parliament, holding up signs saying, "That is not my
Switzerland," placing candles in front of a model of a minaret and
making another minaret shape out of the candles themselves.
"We're sorry," said another sign. A young woman pinned to her jacket a
piece of paper saying, "Swiss passport for sale."
The referendum by the nationalist Swiss People's Party labeled minarets
as symbols of rising Moslem political power that could one day transform
Switzerland into an Islamic nation. The initiative was approved 57.5 to
42.5 percent by some 2.67 million voters. Only four of the 26 cantons or
states opposed the initiative, granting the double approval that makes
it part of the Swiss constitution.
Moslems comprise about 6 percent of Switzerland's 7.5 million people.
Many are refugees from the Yugoslav wars of the 1990s and about one in
10 actively practices their religion, the government says.
The country's four standing minarets, which won't be affected by the
ban, do not traditionally broadcast the call to prayer outside their own
buildings.
The sponsors of the initiative provoked complaints of bias from local
officials and human-rights group with campaign posters that showed
minarets rising like missiles from the Swiss flag next to a fully veiled
woman. Backers said the growing Moslem population was straining the
country "because Moslems don't just practice religion."
"The minaret is a sign of political power and demand, comparable with
whole-body covering by the burqa, tolerance of forced marriage and
genital mutilation of girls," the sponsors said. They noted that Turkish
Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has compared mosques to Islam's
military barracks and called "the minarets our bayonets."
Anxieties about growing Moslem minorities have rippled across Europe in
recent years, leading to legal changes in some countries. There have
been French moves to ban the full-length body covering known as the
burqa. Some German states have introduced bans on head scarves for
Moslem women teaching in public schools. Mosques and minaret
construction projects in Sweden, France, Italy, Austria, Greece, Germany
and Slovenia have been met by protests.
But the Swiss ban in minarets, sponsored by the country's largest
political party, was one of the most extreme reactions.
"It's a sad day for freedom of religion," said Mohammed Shafiq, the
chief executive of the Ramadhan Foundation, a British youth
organization. "A constitutional amendment that's targeted towards one
religious community is discriminatory and abhorrent."
He said he was concerned the decision could have reverberations in other
European countries.
Amnesty International said the vote violated freedom of religion and
would probably be overturned by the Swiss supreme court or the European
Court of Human Rights.
The seven-member Cabinet that heads the Swiss government had spoken out
strongly against the initiative but the government said it accepted the
vote and would impose an immediate ban on minaret construction.
It said that "Moslems in Switzerland are able to practice their religion
alone or in community with others, and live according to their beliefs
just as before." It took the unusual step of issuing its press release
in Arabic as well as German, French, Italian and English.
Sunday's results stood in stark contrast to opinion polls, last taken 10
days ago, that showed 37 percent supporting the proposal. Experts said
before the vote that they feared Swiss had pretended during the polling
that they opposed the ban because they didn't want to appear intolerant.
"The sponsors of the ban have achieved something everyone wanted to
prevent, and that is to influence and change the relations to Moslems
and their social integration in a negative way," said Taner Hatipoglu,
president of the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Zurich. "Moslems
indeed will not feel safe anymore."
The People's Party has campaigned mainly unsuccessfully in previous
years against immigrants with campaign posters showing white sheep
kicking a black sheep off the Swiss flag and another with brown hands
grabbing eagerly for Swiss passports.
Geneva's main mosque was vandalized Thursday when someone threw a pot of
pink paint at the entrance. Earlier this month, a vehicle with a
loudspeaker drove through the area imitating a muezzin's call to prayer,
and vandals damaged a mosaic when they threw cobblestones at the
building.
Why is diversity always a one
way street? Why are the western nations the ones who have to be so
tolerant and diverse even if it means their own destruction? The Moslems
in Switzerland are not losing their right to freedom of religion they're
only losing the right to practice in-your-face Islam. Now some Swiss are
alarmed that they may have jeopardized some trade and business with
Moslem nations. Do Moslem countries worry about that when they persecute
and oppress Christians and other religious minorities? No they don't!
Maybe Europe is finally beginning to realize that some restrictions on
what Moslems can and cannot do are necessary for their own survival. For
the sake of civilization Europe must not become Islamic.
What
Islam Isn't
By Dr.
Peter Hammond
The following
is adapted from Dr. Peter Hammond's book:
Slavery,
Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and
Contemporary Threat:
Islam is not a religion nor is it a cult. It is a
complete system.
Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and
military components. The religious component is a beard
for all the other components.
Islamization occurs when there are sufficient Muslims in
a country to agitate for their so-called 'religious
rights.'
When politically correct and culturally diverse societies
agree to 'the reasonable' Muslim demands for their 'religious
rights,' they also get the other components under the
table. Here's how it works (percentages source CIA: The
World Fact Book (2007)).
As long as the Muslim population remains around 1% of any
given country they will be regarded as a peace-loving
minority and not as a threat to anyone. In fact, they may
be featured in articles and films, stereotyped for their
colorful uniqueness:
United States -- Muslim 1.0%
Australia -- Muslim 1.5%
Canada -- Muslim 1.9%
China -- Muslim 1%-2%
Italy -- Muslim 1.5%
Norway -- Muslim 1.8%
At 2% and 3% they begin to proselytize from other ethnic
minorities and disaffected groups with major recruiting
from the jails and among street gangs:
Denmark -- Muslim 2%
Germany -- Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom -- Muslim 2.7%
Spain -- Muslim 4%
Thailand -- Muslim 4.6%
From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in
proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halal (clean by
Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food
preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure
on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves --
along with threats for failure to comply. ( United States
).
France -- Muslim 8%
Philippines -- Muslim 5%
Sweden -- Muslim 5%
Switzerland -- Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands -- Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad &Tobago -- Muslim 5.8%
At this point, they will work to get the ruling
government to allow them to rule themselves under Sharia,
the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islam is not to
convert the world but to establish Sharia law over the
entire world.
When Muslims reach 10% of the population, they will
increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their
conditions ( Paris --car-burnings). Any non-Muslim action
that offends Islam will result in uprisings and threats (
Amsterdam - Mohammed cartoons).
Guyana -- Muslim 10%
India -- Muslim 13.4%
Israel -- Muslim 16%
Kenya -- Muslim 10%
Russia -- Muslim 10-15%
After reaching 20% expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad
militia formations, sporadic killings and church and
synagogue burning:
Ethiopia -- Muslim 32.8%
At 40% you will find widespread massacres, chronic terror
attacks and ongoing militia warfare:
Bosnia -- Muslim 40%
Chad -- Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon -- Muslim 59.7%
From 60% you may expect unfettered persecution of non-believers
and other religions, sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide),
use of Sharia Law as a weapon and Jizya, the tax placed
on infidels:
Albania -- Muslim 70%
Malaysia -- Muslim 60.4%
Qatar -- Muslim 77.5%
Sudan -- Muslim 70%
After 80% expect State run ethnic cleansing and genocide:
Bangladesh -- Muslim 83%
Egypt -- Muslim 90%
Gaza -- Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia -- Muslim 86.1%
Iran -- Muslim 98%
Iraq -- Muslim 97%
Jordan -- Muslim 92%
Morocco -- Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan -- Muslim 97%
Palestine -- Muslim 99%
Syria -- Muslim 90%
Tajikistan -- Muslim 90%
Turkey -- Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates -- Muslim 96%
100% will usher in the peace of 'Dar-es-Salaam' -- the
Islamic House of Peace -- there's supposed to be peace
because everybody is a Muslim:
Afghanistan -- Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia -- Muslim 100%
Somalia -- Muslim 100%
Yemen -- Muslim 99.9%
Of course, that's not the case. To satisfy their blood
lust, Muslims then start killing each other for a variety
of reasons.
'Before I was nine I had learned the basic canon of Arab
life. It was me against my brother; me and my brother
against our father; my family against my cousins and the
clan; the clan against the tribe; and the tribe against
the world and all of us against the infidel. Leon Uris, 'The
Haj'
It is good to remember that in many, many countries, such
as France, the Moslem populations are centered around
ghettos based on their ethnicity. Muslims do not
integrate into the community at large. Therefore, they
exercise more power than their national average would
indicate.

Moslems
Kidnapping Christian Children
Abuja, Nigeria: A major
Christian rights group has expressed concern that Muslim
militants in Nigeria are increasingly kidnapping
Christian children to convert them to Islam.
A news agency investigating reports of persecution,
quoted unidentified Christian leaders as saying that the
kidnappings have become a common phenomenon in Sokoto
state. It cited the case of 13-year-old Victor Udo Usen,
a member of the Christ Apostolic Church in Sokoto, who
went missing in November last year. His mother Esther Udo
Usen reportedly failed in her attempt to rescue him in
February after a tip from a young Christian girl who
raced to Usens’ home in the Mabera area of Sokoto
city, the state’s capital.
She was apparently unable to free him
from the house where her son had been held incommunicado
for six months. I quickly held his hands and dragged him
along with me towards our nearby house, Esther Udo
Usen said. But within a twinkle of an eye, I heard shouts
of Allahu Akbar! or God is great. I was shocked as I
saw a large number of Muslims rushing towards us,"
she added. The mob apparently surrounded them and
snatched her son away from her. Before she could send her
husband, members of the mob allegedly told her that her
son was now a Muslim and that she and her husband
were no longer his parents. They abducted him in November
last year, and I only saw him today, she added. How
can someone force my son into his religion?
Victor’s father, Udo Usen,
reportedly said he was unable to react to a distress call
from his wife in time to safe his son. I thought, if I
force myself into the house of that Muslim to get my son,
I will not only be placing the lives of my family at risk
but also creating room for them to attack other
Christians in Sokoto.
Usen and his pastor reported the
abduction to other Christian leaders and local police,
but they have little hope the son will return soon. The
police told us that they cannot do anything at the moment
until the Sultan of Sokoto, the leader of Muslims in
Nigeria, returns from his trip. They have held this boy
for six months without our consent. Usen said "They
have forced him into Islam. How can they do this to a 13-year-old
child?"
Christian leaders in Nigeria have said
they are worried that the kidnapping trend is on the
increase, creating tensions between Muslims and
Christians. They claim the Nigerian government knows of
the abductions but has done nothing to protect
Christian children from religious predators. No exact
numbers of kidnapped children were immediately available.
Local officials have sometimes reacted to complains about
Christian persecution, amid international pressure, but
churches seem to suggest that these are exceptions. About
half of Nigeria’s over 130 million strong population
is Muslim, 40 percent Christian and about 10 percent
follows indigenous beliefs, according to the United
States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

Poison of Islam
If the
poison of Islam is ever to be countered in a serious way,
It will have to be "reclassified" as it's being
called. The seditious, criminal, gangster-ish element
within it can never be excised without it destroying
itself completely.
Now, I'm all for Islam destroying itself, but what I'm
saying is that the memeset "Islam" is all about
survival and propagating itself and will never be
modified into a less pernicious form. It is a spiritual
disease, like rabies of the soul. Violent, inhuman,
consuming and un-thinking. It is the antithesis of
enlightenment. It is barbarous religious gangsterism.
The problem, as I see it, is that we Westerners have a
"blind spot" where it comes to religion. We are
conditioned to think of all religious expressions as
essentially benign, notwithstanding the fact that most
religions (at one time or another) have practiced Human
Sacrifice and other such atrocities, and that often the
most hateful and anti-human bilge is spouted from
religious pulpits.
We in the West need to wake up and see that Islam is
indeed an evil. A political monster which seeks to
colonize and destroy all other cultures. It is the most
violent and retrograde force in history and needs to be
taken seriously, and taken at it's word.
And then there's this B.S. about how "it's only a
tiny minority of "bad Moslems" who are
responsible for Jihad, blah, blah, blah. . ." My
answer to this is simple:
It was only a tiny minority of Germans who were members
of the Nazi Party, and look at the murder and destruction
they caused. So, did FDR and his advisors say "Well,
it's only a tiny minority of Germans causing all of the
trouble, let's only kill Nazi's and let the all the rest
of them immigrate to America!" Hell no. He declared
war and destroyed the "Thousand Year Reich"
with all the force he could muster.
Same with the Japanese. A tiny clique of the "Warrior
Class" pushed Japan to invade Manchuria, Indochina
and the West Pacific. Did the vast majority of Japanese
who wanted no part of the rape of Nanking and the
conquest of the Philippines get a pass? Hell no, they got
two nukes up the wazoo, and rightly so.
Same with the Communist Party. They were a tiny fraction
of the population of the Soviet Union, yet they managed
to murder 20 million of their own, not to mention the Chi-Coms
who weren't far behind.
So why on earth should all 90% of the Moslems who at a
minimum passively allow the Jihad to fester, or who
actively support it with political support, money and
logistics, why should they get a pass? Because some limp-wristed
libs in the State Department get the vapors if someone
calls them "Racist?" Because the Bush
Administration needs to kiss some more Saudi ass for a
little cheap oil? Because the MSM and the Fishwraps want
to defend their muzzie butt-buddies?
Why, why, why?
There certainly is no GOOD reason to be found.
How much destruction must they cause? How much more
treasure must we spend on homeland security? How much
criminal nonsense must we uncover from the Moslem fifth
column in the West? Will we lose Sweden? the Netherlands?
France? We've already given them Kosovo and the Bush Co.
is trying like hell to give them the West Bank and Gaza.
Will we give them Hackensack New Jersey and Dearborn
Michigan as well?
How many more "honor"-murders, how many more
polygamist welfare-frauds, how many more college
footbaths and "Muslims Only" gymnasium hours
and on and on and on with their endless and backwards
demands, threats, lawsuits and BULL MANURE must we
endure?
We must wake up and turn the legitimate power of the
State against them. Shut down their "mosques"
deport them en-masse, close our borders and force them to
renounce Islam and convert to Christ. We need a new
"Reconquista."
While we're at it, let's take back Constantinople as well.

Moslem Outrage at
Wikipedia
 Well folks it looks like
the Islamomaniacs have found yet another reason to be
offended, this time it's with a picture of Mohammed
posted on the Wikipedia website. Below is a post from a
Muzi complainer, one of the many Muzi responses to the
posting of that picture.
"This
is a request from all the Moslems that please remove the
picture of Muhammad (P.B.U.H) from this website because
it is not allowed in Islam." Emad Akhtar (Pakistan)
"Dear
eMAD, For one we are NOT in Islam so you have no right to
ask that this picture of Muhammad be removed this is the
United States and here it is allowed. Unlike your country
we have something called freedom and just because you don't
have it in your country don't try to take it out of ours.
I for one find this picture of Mohammed offensive also
but not for the same reason that you and your
Islamomaniac cohorts have."
In
this picture Mohammed is portrayed as a saint with a halo
around his head as are his murderous followers. Mohammed
was no saint and as far as I'm concerned he was no
prophet either though some of my comrades do consider him
a prophet of doom. Being a murderer, a rapist, a
pedophile, a liar, and mentally ill does not a saint make.
Now
my dictionary describes a saint
thusly: "a person of great holiness, virtue, or
benevolence" and that in no way is a description of
Mohammed but I did find the word
evil: "morally wrong or bad;
immoral; wicked: evil deeds; an evil life" and the
word devil:
"an atrociously wicked, cruel, or
ill-tempered person" both of these words are more
accurate descriptions of the founder of the politico-religious
philosophy know as Islam.
How
else would a person be described who at 54 years of age
has sex with a nine year old girl, marries his adopted
son's wife, has nine hundred Jews beheaded in one day,
robs and steals other's possessions at will, declares war
on people because they do not accept his perverted
teachings, breaks his own teachings by saying that his
god gave him permission to do so?
And
with Mohammad as a moral example to over a billion
Moslems is it any wonder that still to this day
Islamomaniacs are beheading people, raping women and
children, robbing and taking other's possessions and
lately intimidating people in the West to suppress their
rights of freedom. So far Wikipedia is resisting the
Islamofascists' attempts to impose their Sharia laws on
them. I say screw Islam and its Jihadist Storm Troopers!

Iran Threatens
Dutch Ties if Film is Shown
Ever
watchful guardians of the Islamic faith, a key Iranian
government official is warning the Dutch not to show a
film about Islam and the Koran, threatening to "reconsider
their relationship" with the Netherlands if the planned
broadcast occurs: Alaeddin
Boroujerdi, head of the Majlis National Security and
Foreign Policy Commission, promised widespread protests
and a review of Iran's relationship with the Netherlands
if Dutch lawmaker Geert Wilders' work is shown.
"If Holland will allow the broadcast of this movie,
the Iranian parliament will request to reconsider our
relationship with it," Boroujerdi said, according to
IRNA, the official Iranian news agency. "In Iran,
insulting Islam is a very sensitive matter and if the
movie is broadcasted it will arouse a wave of popular
hate that will be directed towards any government that
insults Islam.
Wilders calls his 10-minute film "a call to shake
off the creeping tyranny of Islamicization, " and
said it could air as early as this week on Dutch
television
Will
Dutch TV stand up to the nutcases in Iran and show the
film anyway. The track record in most European countries
when faced with this kind of threat is not good. And in
the case of the Dutch, there is reason to be fearful. The
murders of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn who was shot
in 2002 for his views on Islam while in 2004, filmmaker
Theo van Gogh was brutally killed after making an anti-Islamic
film show that the extremists mean business.
Wilder himself is in hiding. But he is continuing van
Gogh's work while agitating against immigration from
Islamic countries. No doubt the Iranian threat won't
deter him. But it may give the Dutch government and
broadcasters pause before going ahead and showing the
film, scheduled to be broadcast next week.
(Article by Rick Moran)
As Ronald Reagan would say "there
you go again". And there they go again trying to
dictate to the Netherlands what they can and cannot say
publicly about Islam. Now I'm sure that a lot of this
rhetoric is grandstanding to show the rest of the Moslem
world how Iran is the great defender of the faith but
folks I think it's about time Holland tells these jackals
to go pound sand and just shut the hell up!
I will say this about Geert Wilders,
he is a man with courage willing to stand up to the
Moslem bullies and showing Europeans that some people
still are willing to place their lives on the line for
freedom. Viva Geert!

Malaysia
Confiscates Christian Books
Malaysian
authorities confiscated Christian children's books,
claiming the illustrations of prophets such as Moses and
Abraham violate Islamic Sharia law.
The
independent news agency Malaysakini reported the Internal
Security Ministry confiscated the literature from
bookstores in two cities and one small town in mid-December.
The Malaysian Embassy declined to comment on the news
service's Jan. 11 report. The Rev. Hermen Shastri,
general secretary of the Malaysian Council of Churches,
confirmed the report and accused the government of
persecuting Christians.
"The
officials have offended the sensitivities of Christians
because their publications and depictions of their
Biblical personalities have now become targets of
unscrupulous Moslem officials bent on curtailing
religious freedom in the country," Mr. Shastri said.
"Immediate steps should be taken to amend
administrative rules and regulations, especially in the
Internal Security Ministry, that give a free hand to
enforcement officials to act on their whim and fancies,"
he said. Christians, Hindus and other religious groups in
Malaysia say they are increasingly being targeted as the
nation gradually cedes jurisdiction to Sharia courts.
The
U.S. State Department estimates that about 60 percent of
Malaysians are Moslem, with the remainder being
Christians, Buddhists, Hindus or belonging to other sects.
The books confiscated from Johor Bahru, Senawang and Ipoh
offended the sensibilities of Moslems, officials say,
because Islam forbids the depiction of prophets.
Islam
forbids images of the prophet Muhammad, but other images
such as portraits of early Moslem leaders Ali and Hussein,
the prophet's son-in-law and grandson, respectively, are
common in Shi'ite Islam. The books were confiscated by
officials from the Publications and Koran Texts Control
Department, a division of the Internal Security Ministry
headed by Prime Minister Abdullah Badawi.
The
prime minister is an Islamic scholar who promotes the
concept of "Islam Hadhari" or "Islamic
Civilization." Bernama, the Malaysian National News
Agency, reported last week that Mr. Badawi stated the
West should acknowledge there are civilizations today
that continue to uphold religious values in the public
sphere, even if many Western governments and societies do
not. In remarks to a forum in Madrid called the Alliance
of Civilization, he also said Islam is a religion that
respects religious and cultural diversity.
The
Malaysian government last month also banned the use of
the name "Allah" in any religion other than
Islam, local press reports said. Allah, the Arabic word
for "God," is used by both Christians and
Moslems throughout the Arab world. Christian and Sikh
religious literature in Malaysia often uses Allah to
refer to God.
Church
leaders have filed complaints in civil courts arguing
that the Allah rule infringes on religious freedom. A
string of prominent religious conversion cases recently
has been criticized for granting special privileges to
Moslems in the multiethnic and ostensibly secular nation.
Article
3 of the Federal Constitution states the official
religion of Malaysia is Islam, but Article 11 protects
the right to religious freedom.
The
Kuala Lumpur High Court ruled Friday that the wife of a
Christian Malaysian who died Dec. 30 could be buried by
her husband. The ruling overturned a decision by the
Federal Islamic Territorial Council, which claimed the
woman converted to Islam six days before she died.
The
High Court hearing marked a departure from civil court
precedents in which Islamic matters are typically ceded
to Sharia courts. Angela Wu, the International Law
Director of the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, called
the procedure a "horrible Catch-22."
"The
civil courts are saying they aren't competent to decide
whether someone is a Moslem where Islamic interests are
invoked," Ms. Wu said. "Only the Sharia courts
can decide whether you are a Moslem and the Sharia courts
will not hear the testimony of non-Moslems."
Oh
my Allah! I don't believe it! Religious oppression and
persecution in a Moslem country, how can this be? The
Moslems, Liberals, and Leftists are always telling us
about religious tolerance in Islamic societies and that
we have nothing whatsoever to worry about if the Moslems
take control of a Western country I mean after all they
are a peaceful and just religion. right? We've always
heard that Malaysia and Turkey are shining examples of
secular democratic and Moslem states. Now maybe I missed
something along the way so I have a question...how can a
secular state have an official religion?
The
Moslems have been telling us forever that they worship
the same God that we do and he is called "Allah"
so why then are non-Moslems not allowed say that? I have
never believed that concept and I don't think that
Christians or Jews should ever refer to God as Allah only
Moslems should. The Allah of Islam is evil, deceptive,
cruel and un-just, he is the antithesis of
our God Yahweh. So now maybe the Moslems are finally
admitting that we worship two different deities.
Another
thing I am curious about...if illustrations
of prophets violate Islamic Sharia law and they consider
Jesus a prophet I wonder how much longer it will be
before pictures of Jesus and crucifixes are banned. It
sounds like a trend to me folks. Another trend that we
are seeing is the gradual radicalization of supposed
moderate Moslem countries. I actually heard a Ron Paul
neo-Lib on the radio say that the Moslems are too divided
to be a threat to us and we shouldn't worry. How someone
in their right mind could believe that is beyond me in
light of current events and what happened on 9/11.
Sure
Moslems are killing each other and fighting amongst
themselves, haven't they always? Does that negate the
fact that Islam is inexorably taking over the world? No
it doesn't and when it comes to fighting the infidel they
are very much united. When the twin towers in NY fell the
Shi'ite and Sunni celebrated together. When the Dutch
published the cartoons considered to be insults to Islam
we saw every Moslem faction together rioting and
protesting throughout the world their infighting was gone.
I
don't think it will matter to the free people in Europe
which faction of Islam takes over because anyone who is
not a Moslem will suffer and the fact that Moslems are
fighting amongst themselves won't mean spit to them
because they'll be living under Sharia law. Will there be
a difference if that Sharia law comes from Sunnis or Shi'ites? Look
around you folks, what is happening in the moderate
Moslem countries could happen in Europe if it's not
stopped and I mean stopped very soon. Remember this...if
Europe falls to the Moslems that means that all of the
nuclear weapons there will be in their control and if
that isn't a nightmare then I don't know what is!

ACLU Says Sex in Restroom
Stalls Is OK
In
an effort to help Sen. Larry Craig, the American Civil
Liberties Union is arguing that people who have sex in
public bathrooms have an expectation of privacy.
Craig,
of Idaho, is asking the Minnesota Court of Appeals to let
him withdraw his guilty plea to disorderly conduct
stemming from a bathroom sex sting at the Minneapolis
airport.
The
ACLU filed a brief Tuesday supporting Craig. It cited a
Minnesota Supreme Court ruling 38 years ago that found
that people who have sex in closed stalls in public
restrooms "have a reasonable expectation of privacy."
That
means the state cannot prove Craig was inviting an
undercover officer to have sex in public, the ACLU wrote.
The
Republican senator was arrested June 11 by an undercover
officer who said Craig tapped his feet and swiped his
hand under a stall divider in a way that signaled he
wanted sex. Craig has denied that, saying his actions
were misconstrued.
The
ACLU argued that even if Craig was inviting the officer
to have sex, his actions wouldn't be illegal.
"The
government cannot prove beyond a reasonable doubt that
Senator Craig was inviting the undercover officer to
engage in anything other than sexual intimacy that would
not have called attention to itself in a closed stall in
the public restroom," the ACLU wrote in its brief.
The
ACLU also noted that Craig was originally charged with
interference with privacy, which it said was an admission
by the state that people in the bathroom stall expect
privacy.
Yes,
people in a bathroom stall expect privacy...privacy to go
to the bathroom without being approached by perverts
propositioning sex. Since when was having sex in a public
bathroom a civil right? Don't these homosexuals have any
more self control than a common dog? Is their lust so
consuming that they have to go to a public restroom to
fulfill their sexual fantasies?
What
about the civil rights for guy in the next stall who just
wants to go to the bathroom? Does he have to sit there
and listen to the two perverts having sex next to his
stall? I guess in the ACLU's scheme of things only
perverts have rights or should I say have more rights.
What's next? "The ACLU says rapists have a
reasonable expectation to privacy in public bathroom

any lower they prove me wrong.
As
for Senator Craig there is no doubt in my mind nor in the
minds of most people I know that his purpose on June 11th
was to have sex with another man in that airport restroom.
Will he beat the charges against him? Maybe, but the harm
is already done...he lost a lot because he couldn't
control his sexual urges in public. Posted:

Red China
Confronts USS Kitty Hawk
A
Chinese attack submarine and destroyer confronted the U.S.
carrier Kitty Hawk and its battle group in the Taiwan
Strait, sparking a tense 28-hour standoff that brought
both sides to a battle-ready position.
The
American ships were heading to Japan following
China’s sudden cancellation of a scheduled
Thanksgiving port call in Hong Kong when they encountered
the Chinese vessels, according to the Navy Times, which
cited a report in a Chinese-language newspaper in Taiwan.
The
Navy Times reported that the encounter caused the carrier
group “to halt and ready for battle, as the Chinese
vessels also stopped amid the 28-hour confrontation.”
The
encounter ended without incident, however, and the U.S.
ships continued on to Japan. The two Chinese vessels were
also headed for a port call in Japan.
The
Chinese destroyer, Shenzhen, is armed with anti-ship
missiles, while the Song-class attack sub is equipped
with anti-ship missiles and a variety of torpedoes.
China
has expressed “grave concern” to the U.S. over
the Kitty Hawk’s transit through the Taiwan Strait,
the Times notes. Beijing claims Taiwan is Chinese
territory.
But
Admiral Timothy Keating, head of the U.S. Pacific Command,
told reporters Tuesday: “We don’t need
China’s permission to go through the Taiwan Strait.
We will exercise our free right of passage whenever and
wherever we choose.”
Shortly
before the Kitty Hawk battle group was denied entry to
Hong Kong, China had refused safe harbor for two U.S.
Navy minesweepers seeking refuge from a storm.
Some
U.S. politicians have rung alarm bells about China's
increased military spending and technological revamping
of its armed forces.
China’s
military budget had an average annual growth rate of
nearly 16 percent from 1994 to 2004, and China's reported
2006 military budget is about $35 billion, according to
Beijing.
But
Pentagon sources have said these numbers fail to
demonstrate the true scope of the growth, and the real
2006 figure could be as much as $105 billion.
In
recent years China has upgraded its nuclear-tipped
intercontinental ballistic missiles; bought state-of-the-art
warships, fighter planes and submarines from Russia; and
begun development of a number of so-called "asymmetrical"
weapons, including informational warfare and anti-satellite
systems.
In
November, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo warned that
China’s continuing military buildup could eventually
pose a “major threat” if the Chinese government
decides to exercise its power.
Well
so much for those who believe communism is no longer a
threat but then again these people won't believe it
unless Chinese troops are actually landing on our shores
not that I think that would ever happen. What I am saying
is that communism has never stopped being a threat and
there is still a high probability that the U.S. and Red
China could wind up in a full scale war over Taiwan in
the not too distant future.
This
little act of intimidation though was just a way for the
commies to tell us to keep our warships out of their
front yard so to speak...at least that's how they see it.
In actuality we were in the back yard of ally and friend
Taiwan, who I still like to fondly refer as Nationalist
China. I like the fact that Admiral Keating said we didn't
need Red China's permission to go through the straights.
Hey screw the commies, they may control their own people's
freedom but they sure hell as not going to control ours.
I
think we sent the commies two messages during this
incident. One, we are in the neighborhood so you better
think twice before doing anything to Taiwan. Two, you don't
intimidate us and we'll come and go as we please.
The
thing that bothers me more than this is the fact that Red
China would not allow two of our minesweepers to wait out
a storm in Hong Kong...nice gesture right? How many
billions of dollars do we pump into their economy?
As
for the communists' claim to Taiwan well, they have no
more right to Taiwan than we do to Cuba.

MS-13
hits Vietnam Vets' memorial again
Authorities
in New Haven, Conn., have launched an investigation into
the establishment of the radically violent MS-13 street
gang in their city after a second case of apparently gang-related
vandalism within a week.
According
to reports from WTNH-TV, part of the effort may be to set
up surveillance cameras at a Vietnam memorial that has
been vandalized twice in just days.
"You
don't like to have a camera out here where people come
and pay respects but certainly you don't want to have
something like this to happen to something so meaningful,"
a New Haven spokesman, Rob Smuts, told the television
station.
The MS-13
graffiti on the Vietnam memorial had appeared first only
days earlier, when spray-painted "Kill whites MS 13"
defaced the memorial at Long Wharf, Conn., the station
reported.
"This
irks me. This hurts me deep to my heart," Vietnam
Army veteran Emery Linton Sr. told the station then.
Linton, who served in Vietnam from 1969 to 1972, noted he
lost friends there and called the mess on the memorial a
slap in the face to veterans who made the ultimate
sacrifice for their country.
"People
here respect these names. They gave their lives for
everything, for the freedoms they have," Linton said.
An
attorney prosecuting MS-13 members said the gang follows
the "rape, kill and control" philosophy, using
guns, knives and machetes. The gang members traffic in
drugs, weapons and humans. Last summer, police in the
Boston area conducted a major round-up of MS 13 members.
New
Haven police told WTNH they have not documented MS-13
activity in the city, but they are investigating in light
of the recent vandalism.
The
newest vandalism also features the "MS-13" logo,
appearing this time in black spray paint on the memorial.
"This
is a sad scene for me to see that this is happening now,"
another veteran, Jimmy V, told the station.
"It's
a kick in the gut to all Vietnam veterans. Again our
brothers will serve as a reminder not only to a war but
to the way society is now with no respect," he said.
The
earlier vandalism was with bright orange paint, used to
write "MS-13." Jimmy noted it actually was the
third case of vandalism at the memorial; he says he
cleaned white spray paint off the stone "V" in
the memorial several weeks ago.
"I
don't know who would want to do this," Lori Grenfell
told the New Haven station. "They have the right to
say what they want to say. They can thank these guys for
that right."
Linton's
message to the vandals was direct. "If you guys
really think you're bad, join the service, get in the
action and see what it's really like."
I'll
be a little more direct than the authorities in New Haven.
Here is what I'd like to see happen...I'd like to see a
couple of Vietnam veteran snipers stake out the memorial
with high powered rifles and if these jack-balls return
to desecrate such a sacred American site take them out in
a most painful manner. These racist bastards come to our
country for the explicit purpose of committing the most
heinous crimes and think that they can do what they want
with impunity. The authorities in the U.S. has been much
too lenient with the MonsterS. A
Phalangist government would give them three choices. Get
out of our country, Change your ways, or DIE. After all a
democratic country is all about choices.

A British Lesson In
Cultural Suicide
Lesson:
Don’t Fly The Flag
Imagine,
if you will, that you had served your country in the U.S.
military for 22 years, and viewed yourself as a patriot.
To this end, you have tattooed on your arm a small image
of the Stars and Stripes and the words “U.S.
Army’. When preparing to retire from the army, you
then decide to join the police. How would you feel if you
found yourself turned down for the job, because you are
told your tattoo of the national flag could be seen as
“racist”?
Fortunately
for Americans, such a scenario could not happen, well not
yet anyway. But for British soldier Sgt. Ivan Ivanovic,
his patriotic tattoo prevented him from joining a police
force in the north of England. Because Ivanovic has a two-inch
Union Jack flag tattooed on his arm with the words
“British Army”, he was not even considered for
employment by Cumbria Constabulary. He said: “I
can’t see why anyone would think that the flag of
the country might be seen as racist.”
Sergeant
Ivanovic had served Queen and Country in the first Gulf
War, in Kosovo and in Iraq, yet the national symbol of
the country he served was deemed “racist”.
Ivanovic should not have been surprised. Since May 1997,
Britain’s Labour government has been undermining
almost every aspect of British heritage in a misguided
drive to foist its leftist policies of
“multiculturalism” onto an unwilling public.
When
in 2002 Derek Stone stood as the Conservative candidate
for mayoral elections in the London borough of Lewisham,
his posters bore a Union Jack. For this act, he was
condemned by his opponents as “racist”.
To
the political correct idiots patriotism = racism,
Christianity = racism, and any kind of criticism of Islam
= racism. Of course anyone with an ounce of intelligence
knows that these equations don't add up. The liberal left
and the left in general knows that no decent person wants
to be branded a racist so in order to intimidate people
who have an opinion they do not agree with they brand
that opinion as racist hoping that the person with that
opinion will abandon it.
One
of the tenants of political correctness is self-hatred.
Hate your country, hate your culture, hate your flag, and
hate your history. Here's an equation that really does
add up, self-hatred = self-destruction and as everyone
agrees that is called suicide. What the PC crowd and the
liberal leftists don't realize is that self-hatred does
not appease our enemies it only emboldens them.
In
the wild which animal does the lion go after? Is it the
animal who fights back or is it the the animal who
surrenders? The animal who just lays there and says to
itself "maybe if I just don't do anything to provoke
this lion he'll leave me alone in peace" gets
devoured. You can be sure that if Radical Islam is
triumphant in England or any other liberal European
country for that matter the PC crowd and the liberal
leftists will have their throats slit the same as any
others who do not convert. They will not have the freedom
of speech nor any of the other freedoms that they have
now. If they were smart they would give this this
prospect some serious thought but on the other hand if
they were truly smart they wouldn't be politically
correct now would they? Posted: 01.01.08
Reports:
Castro’s Health Deteriorating
Two
reputable Spanish-language newspapers are reporting that
Cuban leader Fidel Castro’s already precarious
health has taken a turn for the worse.
The Madrid paper Hechos De Hoy and the Mexican newspaper
Reforma both say Castro can no longer eat solid food and
is hooked up to an IV after recent emergency surgery.
Reforma also reported that Castro has lost a great deal
of weight and does not want to walk or receive visitors.
Several other developments seem to confirm that Castro is
severely ailing:
Castro did not appear in public on his 81st birthday, on
Aug. 13, and there were no major celebrations to mark the
event. He has not appeared in public for over a year.
Cuban
Vice President Carlos Lage telephoned Venezuelan
President Hugo Chavez’s talk show on Sunday, Aug. 5,
to fill in for Castro, who usually phones. Lage did not
explain why Castro did not call, the Miami Herald
reported.
Cuban
dissidents say that Internet access has been curtailed
for the very few Cubans who have it — mostly trusted
“journalists” who work for the regime’s
official publications. Their correspondence is now routed
through one government-monitored Web portal.
The
Spanish news agency EFE quoted Mariela Castro —
daughter of Fidel’s brother Raul and a Castro family
spokesperson — as saying: “The concern that we
all had about losing our leader is now closer to us.”
She
also reportedly said: “For the first time, the
people are taking stock of [Fidel’s] process of
aging, the process that the revolution has to continue
without him, be it with my father or with other leaders
who will come.”
OK, so
this article is a few months old but most Americans aren't
aware of how bad this monster's health really is. It has
always been a thorn in my side that this SOB was sworn
into office on my 13th birthday and ever since he
declared himself a communist I have been wishing and yes,
praying for this creep's death. But I'm not the only one,
the entire Cuban exile community has been as anxious as I
am for Fidelito's demise the only difference being that
they would celebrate every time he tripped, stubbed his
toe or went to the hospital for a check up. Myself I'm
tired of all of the let downs, just when I think the
monster is at death's door he comes back again just like
Jason in a bad Friday the 13th movie. It just seems like
he cannot die but you and I know he will, the big
question is "How will his death affect Cuba?"
Well I don't think things could get any worse and his
death will in all probability have some kind of a
positive change. It will be up to his brother Raul as to
how far and how positive those changes changes will be.
One thing I know for sure is that I haven't had a drink
in a year and will not touch a drop of alcohol until
"El Caballo" dies and that's the day I buy my
next bottle of rum for one large Cuba Libre.

Man to Forfeit Anti-Osama Plates
Garden City, N.Y. (Nov. 29) - A retired police officer is
seeking a court order to force the state Department of
Motor Vehicles to drop its demand that he return vanity
license plates calling for the capture or death of Osama
bin Laden.
Arno Herwerth, a 21-year veteran of the New York Police
Department, said he requested the "GETOSAMA"
plates earlier this month to send a political message. He
said he was surprised to hear, after receiving the plates,
that the DMV wanted them back.
In a
Nov. 15 letter to Herwerth, the agency cited a regulation
prohibiting plates that could be considered "obscene,
lewd, lascivious, derogatory to a particular ethnic group
or patently offensive." It returned his previous
generic license plates and asked that he send the "GETOSAMA"
plates, which were issued Nov. 2, back to its Albany
headquarters.
Herwerth, 42, said in a phone interview that it was
important to him that the victims of the Sept. 11
terrorist attacks, which bin Laden is accused of
orchestrating, be remembered.
"I got the plates because of 9/11," he said.
"I want to keep the message alive that this man
needs to be killed or captured. It's been a long time,
but we haven't forgotten."
Herwerth's
attorney, Vincent Amicizia, said he would seek a
temporary restraining order in U.S. District Court that
would prevent the DMV from revoking the "GETOSAMA"
plates. He maintains the plates are patriotic because the
sentiment supports the U.S. war on terrorism.
"That's the oddity of this case," Amicizia said.
"I've never heard of a First Amendment case that
seeks to suppress patriotic speech."
Tara Keenan-Thomson, executive director of the Nassau
County chapter of the New York Civil Liberties Union,
said she is aware that states have denied plates based on
offensive messages, but she is not sure why the "GETOSAMA"
plates were interpreted negatively by state officials.
"What is unique is that this message does reflect
the policies of the present administration," she
said. "When `offensive' is applied to political
views, it encroaches on free speech."
State DMV spokesman Ken Brown said the plates "didn't
meet DMV regulation standards, and issuing them would be
inappropriate." He declined further comment.
What
kind of traitors to America do they have in the New York
DMV? This is one of the most outrageous things I have
ever read in the news. The only people who would take
offense to a "GETOSAMA" license plate are
Moslem terrorists, their sympathizers and limp-wristed
liberals who don't want to offend Moslem terrorists even
after those Moslems murdered over 3,000 fellow Americans.
Of course the liberals in the NYDMV won't give a straight
explanation as to why they find the tag offensive. It
seems to me that there are only three categories of
people the politically correct nazis feel is OK to offend
and they are Christians, White Males, and Southerners.....everyone
else is off limits and now that includes Moslem
Terrorists. Posted: 11.30.07
Ahmadinejad Says
Israel Should Move
Jerusalem , Israel -
Millions of Iranians attended rallies across the country
in support of the Palestinians on Friday. In Tehran, tens
of thousands of Iranians marched through the streets in
honor of "Al-Quds" (Jerusalem) day, chanting
"death to Israel" and "death to the U.S."
Some protesters burned Israeli and American flags and
effigies of President Bush and Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, reports said.
Al-Quds is the Arabic name for Jerusalem. The national
holiday -- dedicated to ending Israeli rule over
Jerusalem and bringing the city under Moslem control --
has been marked on the last Friday of the Moslem fasting
month of Ramadan every year since the Iranian revolution
in 1979.
Speaking at Tehran University on Friday, Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad remained defiant on his
country's nuclear program and promised to keep up the
struggle until all of Israel is in Palestinian hands.
"Europeans cannot tolerate the Zionists in their
region and country, but they want to impose them on the
people of the region...Give these vast lands of Canada
and Alaska to them to create a country for themselves,"
he was quoted as saying.
Ahmadinejad said that Israel's existence and Western
support for it was an "insult to human dignity"
and had become a "global issue." He said that
Iran and other regional countries would not take their
hands off the throats of Israel and its supporters.
Iran has refused a United Nations Security Council demand
to suspend its uranium enrichment program -- a process
that can be used to make nuclear fuel or used for an
atomic bomb.
The West believes that Iran is secretly pursuing nuclear
weapons under cover of its civilian nuclear program. The
U.S.-led effort to stop Tehran's nuclear pursuits has
been hindered most recently by a deal worked out by the
head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Mohamed
ElBaradei.
ElBaradei worked out a deal giving Iran until the end of
the year to answer questions about its nuclear program.
The U.S. denounced the deal as appeasement.
Friday's rally comes two days after Bush chastised
Ahmadinejad for threatening to destroy Israel and said
the U.S. would defend its ally.
"In Iran, we're dealing with a country where the
leader has said that he wants to destroy Israel,"
Bush said during a visit to Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
"My belief is that the United States will defend our
ally Israel. This is a leader who has made very
provocative statements," he said.
Bush said despite all that, the U.S. was willing to sit
down and talk to Ahmadinejad as long as Iran suspends its
nuclear program. "In other words, it's his choice,
it's not mine anymore," Bush said.
Thousands of Palestinians also marched in the Gaza Strip
on Friday, burning Israeli, American and British flags in
honor of Al-Quds day. Islamic Jihad organized the march.
Calling Israel a "cancerous tumor" in the
region, an official of the group, Khader Habib, was
quoted by WONV as saying that the "jihad and the
resistance" (a euphemism for terrorism) would
continue "until Jerusalem is liberated."
Jerusalem
is liberated you moron. What you and your Islamofascist-camelmaggots
want to do is turn that city into another hell-hole the
way you did Gaza. You Moslems have no more right to that
city than you do Madrid. As for Ahmadinejad
saying that Israel should move to Canada or Alaska I
would say fine, great idea but only on one condition,
that the Israelis take everything with them when they
move. When I say everything I mean the temple, every
building, every tree, every garden, every factory, power
plant, train, buses, etc. And leave the land exactly the
way it was before the Jews turned it into what it is
today. Would the Moslems accept that condition? Not
hardly, being a religion that thrives on larceny they
would want the Jews to leave everything behind except for
maybe a suitcase of belongings which they could take with
them....which is exactly what the Nazis wanted of the
Jews. There is one small problem though, that kind of Jew
no longer exists! And whether the Muzis except that fact
or not is of little or no consequence because the Jews
and their God given homeland are here to stay. Israel
will never die!
Now
let us look at the so-called millions of Iranians
attending rallies across the country in support of the
Palestinians. Do you think for one minute Iranians or any
other Moslem gives two spits about the Palestinians? Not
hardly. Oh sure they want to use the Palestinians to get
rid of the Jews but that's the only interest they have in
them. Case in point, Ahmadinejad wants to destroy Israel
with nuclear weapons but he couldn't do that without
destroying the Palestinians also and the radioactive
fallout would kill millions of fellow Moslems in the
surrounding countries but what does that matter him as
long as the Jews die too.
Will
this happen? No, God will not allow it happen!
Ahmadinejad may try if given a chance but he could never
succeed. We have seen what happened in Iraq when they
were building a nuclear reactor in 1981 and more recently
in Syria on Sept. 6th, bombing a
suspected nuclear site. And it won't be long before
Israel does the same in Iran and I for one wish them all
the success in the world.
A
final note on the so-called love that the Moslems have
for the Palestinians, if they are so loved why is it that
the Palestinians have been thrown out of every Moslem
country they ever settled in? Posted:

Taiwan
Party Asserts Separate Identity
Taipei,
Taiwan - Taiwan's ruling party passed a resolution Sunday
asserting the island's separate identity from rival China
and calling for a referendum on Taiwan's  sovereignty,
the latest in a series of moves aimed at strengthening
the island's de-facto independence. The resolution passed
after a heated debate at a boisterous party congress,
calls for making the island's formal name "Taiwan,"
without specifically abolishing its current official name,
the "Republic of China." It also calls for the
enactment of a new constitution, but gives no specific
deadline for either that or the referendum.
But
the resolution stops short of calling Taiwan independent,
a move China has said would be the equivalent of a
declaration of war. Taiwan and China split amid civil war
nearly 60 years ago, but China still considers the
democratic island a part of its territory and vehemently
opposes any steps toward making its de facto independence
official. The United States does not recognize Taiwan as
a country, but Washington is obligated by law to supply
it with defensive weapons. Fearful of being drawn into a
war with China, it often tries to discourage Taiwanese
independence steps.
In
Beijing, Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao called on Taiwan to
resist moving toward formal independence from the
mainland in an annual National Day address traditionally
used to appeal for unity between the rivals. "We
will continue to work with all the Taiwan compatriots to
oppose and repulse separatist activities for 'Taiwan
independence' and advance the great cause of China's
peaceful reunification," Wen said.The ruling
Democratic Progressive Party's resolution passed by a
vote of 250-73.
"We
should rectify our name to Taiwan and enact a new
constitution as soon as possible," the resolution
says. "A public referendum should be held at an
appropriate time to underscore Taiwan as a sovereign
state." Sunday's DPP congress comes ahead of next
March's presidential election, in which DPP candidate
Frank Hsieh will run against the popular Ma Ying-jeou of
the opposition Nationalist Party, which favors eventual
unification with mainland China.The pro-independence DPP
has routinely resorted to a strategy of provoking China
to help it garner islanders' votes in past national
elections.
Many
Taiwanese fear a radical independence stance could
provoke China to launch an attack against the island. But
most people cherish the island's democracy and refuse to
unite with communist China. The resolution's adoption
follows President Chen Shui-bian's unsuccessful campaign
this year to seek rejoining the United Nations under the
name of Taiwan for the first time. Taiwan had for the
past decade tried unsuccessfully to rejoin the world body
as the Republic of China, the name it used in the U.N.
before being expelled in 1971. Chen has also pushed to
hold a referendum to back the government's U.N. bid to
coincide with the presidential election, a move denounced
both by China and the U.S.
In
other moves to assert its separateness from China in
recent months, Taiwanese officials have announced plans
to revise school textbooks to drop references that
recognize Chinese historical figures, places and
artifacts as "national" and said they were
considering abandoning Taiwan's long-standing policy of
recognizing Mandarin Chinese as the island's only
official language. Chen also has substituted "Taiwan"
for "China" at the post office and two large
government-owned companies.
Growing
up as a boy I remember Taiwan as Nationalist China though
officially it was called the Republic Of China (ROC) and
it had a seat in the United Nations but Red China did not.
I was taught in my Catholic school that Taiwan was a free
and democratic country and that Red China was a slave
state filled with unspeakable horrors, so what happened? On October
25th, 1971 the U.N. approved the membership of Communist
China and expelling Taiwan. For the first time, the
United States did not use its veto power to block
mainland China's admission. The change in U.S. position
came about as the result of a gradual thaw in U.S. -
Chinese relations. The U.S. trade embargo was lifted and
a U.S. ping pong team made the first visit to mainland
China in twenty years. Thank you Richard Nixon.
Since
1991 Taiwan has attempted to rejoin the United Nations
several times and each attempt has been blocked by the
bully nation of Red China who serves on the Security
Council claiming that Taiwan is a renegade province who
rightfully belongs to her....just like Tibet, right? Now
there is evidence of mobile execution buses being used by
the Chinese government now for anyone who knows their
history knows that this latest innovation comes straight
from Nazi Germany. How long can the United States turn a
blind eye to the abuse in Red China and at the same time
turn our back on our friends like Taiwan. We boycott Red
Cuba yet have open relations with Red China and Viet Nam,
are we a freedom loving country or not? Are cheap imports
more important to us than supporting our friends? I think
America needs to reevaluate her priorities.

Hillary Takes the
Right Side....for a Change
Hillary
Clinton said she strongly supported Israel’s
reported air strike on a suspected nuclear facility in
Syria.
During
a presidential debate on NBC Wednesday night,  the
Democratic hopeful said: “What we think we know is
that with North Korean help, financial and technical and
material, the Syrians apparently were putting together,
and perhaps over some period of years, a nuclear facility,
and the Israelis took it out. I strongly support that.”
Reports
surfaced that Israel had launched an air attack against a
site in Syria believed to be a nuclear-related facility
containing material delivered by North Korea.
The
Sept. 6th air strike was carried out several days after a
ship with North Korean cargo docked in a Syrian port,
according to American and Israeli officials. The cargo
was transferred to the site Israel later attacked, the
officials told the New York Times.
At
the debate, Clinton also defended her Senate vote earlier
that day calling for Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary
Guard Corps to be designated a foreign terrorist
organization.
Fellow
candidate Mike Gravel said he was “ashamed” of
her vote, calling the non-binding Senate resolution
“essentially a fig leaf to let George Bush go to war
with Iran.”
But
Clinton argued that the Guard Corps was “promoting
terrorism” by aiding insurgents in Iraq and
supporting Hezbollah and Hamas, the Jerusalem Post
reported.
She
said that designating the group as a terrorist
organization would “give us the options to be able
to impose sanctions on the primary leaders.”
Democratic
Senators and presidential candidates Joe Biden and Chris
Dodd voted against the resolution, and John Edwards
criticized it. Barack Obama abstained from the Senate
vote.
Hillary
for once said something I agree with. As for Biden, Dodd,
Gravel, and Edwards whose side are they on anyway? I don't
know about you but it sounds to me like they're taking
the side of our enemy, liberals don't do that do they?
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard is as much a sworn enemy
of the USA now as the Nazi SS was during World War II,
both terrorist armies, both wanting to destroy America
and annihilate the Jews. Let's get with it folks, like it
or not we're at war with these people. it's us or them
and rather it be them which is more than I can say about
some of our politicians in Washington.

Words Have Meaning....usually
I
have been called a Bigot, Racist, Fascist, neo-Nazi and
of course..intolerant and a homophobe. But am I any of
these? Let's look at the meanings of these words that my
"foaming at the mouth angry" enemies have seen
fit to throw at me.
Bigot: a person
who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief,
or opinion. One who is strongly partial to one's own
group, religion, race, or politics and is intolerant of
those who differ. It doesn't look like I'm a
bigot. Yes, I'm partial to my own religion which is Roman
Catholic and my own politics but I have friends who are
Baptists, Lutherans, and Democrats, etc. I disagree with
their beliefs but I'm not intolerant of them. Sure I
would like to see my political party in power and
controlling the country BUT NOT without any opposition,
how boring that would be. I'm partial to Hispanic culture
but I enjoy and appreciate other cultures also just as I'm
partial to roses I like other flowers too.
Homophobia: irrational
fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against
homosexuality or homosexuals. I do not have an irrational
or any other kind of fear towards homosexuals. I do have
an aversion to homosexuality as Merriam & Webster
describes that word as a feeling of
repugnance toward something with a desire to avoid or
turn from it . Discrimination? Would I
rent an apartment to a homosexual? No, probably not.
Would I hire a homosexual to work for me? If he was
qualified for the job, sure I would. I've had gay friends
when I lived in Philly and when I meet someone who is
obviously gay I don't treat him or her any different than
anyone else. I tolerate homosexuals but lewd conduct in
public as seen at so-called pride parades and at other
outdoor gay gatherings I cannot tolerate and will work to
have them banned. As for phobias, I don't have any
phobias, if I fear something I have a rational
explanation for that fear.
Racist: A person
who holds believes that race is the primary determinant
of human traits and capacities and that racial
differences produce an inherent superiority of a
particular race. I don't believe in that. I
judge people by what they are inside and not their skin
color or nationality. I am part Hispanic and have friends
who are black, Lebanese, Jewish, Mexican, Hmong, Greek,
etc. The idiots who accuse me of being racist do so
because I am anti-Islam and in their small minds they
think Islam is a race....if Islam is a race then so is
Catholic.
Fascist: a
political philosophy, movement, or regime (as that of the
Italian Fascisti) that exalts nation and often race above
the individual and that stands for a centralized
autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader,
severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible
suppression of opposition.
I believe in free elections,
individual and states rights, racism sucks. I am an
admirer of Engelbert Dollfuss whom Mussolini betrayed in
favor of Hitler. Mussolini also betrayed the Italian Jews
so I have no love for him or his Fascism.
neo-Nazi: a member
of a group espousing the programs and policies of Hitler's
Nazis. I hate Hitler's guts, he is not only
responsible for the death of my Uncle on March 1, 1945
but also for deaths of millions of Jews. I have a great
love for the Jewish people and a fanatical love for the
nation-state of Israel. Who ever heard of a
Christian-Zionist who is a neo-Nazi?
It
is very easy for my enemies to call me disparaging names
but you'll never see them backing it up with facts. They'll
visit my websites and call me and my members racists but
they can never show one racist comment or remark anywhere.
I really shouldn't complain too much though because
everything they accuse me of they accuse the United
States and Israel of also. Posted:

Gen. Pace: Homosexual Acts
Immoral
Washington
City - Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, caused a stir at a Senate hearing Wednesday when
he said he believes homosexual activity is immoral and
should not be condoned by the military. Pace, who retires
next week, said he was seeking to clarify similar remarks
he made in spring, which he said were misreported.
"Are
there wonderful Americans who happen to be homosexual
serving in the military? Yes," he told the Senate
Appropriations Committee during a hearing focused on the
Pentagon's 2008 war spending request.
"We
need to be very precise then, about what I said wearing
my stars and being very conscious of it," he added.
"And that is, very simply, that we should respect
those who want to serve the nation but not through the
law of the land, condone activity that, in my upbringing,
is counter to God's law."
Anti-war
protesters sitting behind Pace jeered the four-star
general's remarks, prompting Committee Chairman Sen.
Robert Byrd, D-WV., to abruptly adjourn the hearing and
seal off the doors.
The
hearing resumed about five minutes later in which Pace
said he would be supportive of efforts to revisit the
Pentagon's policy so long as it didn't violate his belief
that sex should be restricted to a married heterosexual
couple.
"I
would be very willing and able and supportive" to
changes to the policy "to continue to allow the
homosexual community to contribute to the nation without
condoning what I believe to be activity - whether it to
be heterosexual or homosexual - that in my upbringing is
not right," Pace said.
Pace's
lengthy answer on gays was prodded by Sen. Tom Harkin,
who said he found Pace's previous remarks as "very
hurtful" and "very demoralizing" to
homosexuals serving in the military.
In
March, the Chicago Tribune reported that Pace said in a
wide-ranging interview: "I do not believe the United
States is well served by a policy that says it is OK to
be immoral in any way."
Harkin,
D-Iowa, said he wanted to give Pace a chance to amend his
remarks in light of his retirement.
"It's
a matter of leadership, and we have to be careful what we
say," Harkin said.
Pace
noted that the U.S. Military Code of Justice prohibits
homosexual activity as well as adultery. Harkin said,
"Well, maybe we should change that."
Change
what exactly. Mr. Harkin? Change the U.S. Military code
to allow immorality? And what do you want to allow after
Adultery and Sodomy...recreational drugs? How about
transvestism? We could have a brigade of cross dressing
soldiers who would give a whole new meaning to Dress
Uniforms. Where do you want to draw the line Mr. Harkin?
Bestiality in the K-9 Corps? I have to agree with General
Pace, a policy of immorality does not serve our country.

The Wise Geert Wilders
Dutch
anti-immigration politician Geert Wilders was quoted as
urging Moslems to dump half the Koran and saying he would
chase the Prophet Mohammed out of the country if he was
alive today." Islam is a violent religion.
If Mohammed lived here today I could imagine chasing him
out of the country tarred and feathered as an extremist,"
Mr. Wilders told De Pers daily in an interview. Mr.
Wilders, who is seen as an heir to murdered populist Pim
Fortuyn and whose new party won nine seats out of the 150
in Parliament in November elections, has warned of a
"Tsunami of Islamization" in a country home to
one million Moslems.
"I know that we're not going to have a Moslem
majority in the next couple of decades, but it is
growing," he said. "You no longer feel that you're
living in your own country. There is a battle under way
and we must defend ourselves. There will soon be more
mosques than churches here." Mr. Wilders, who has
lived under heavy guard since 2004 when a Dutch-Moroccan
killed filmmaker and Islam critic Theo van Gogh, has
campaigned to ban the Moslem burqa veil, wants to freeze
immigration and ban new mosques and religious schools.
"If Moslems want to stay here they must tear out
half of the Koran and throw it away. They shouldn't
listen to the imam. I've read the Koran ... and I know
that there are enough awful things in it," he said.
Maverick politician Pim Fortuyn broke taboos with his
criticism of Moslem immigrants in the Netherlands and his
pronouncements that the country could not absorb anymore
foreigners. He was gunned down in 2002 by animal rights
activists and Moslem sympathizer just days before an
election which saw huge popular support for his party.
Nasr Joemann, secretary for the Contact Organization for
Moslems and Government, said he planned to raise the
demonization of Islam with the new Dutch cabinet,
expected to be finalized in the next week after months of
coalition talks."
I don't think this sort of comment from a member of
parliament is good for integration or for relations
between Moslems and non-Moslems but we don't want to
react to the content because we cannot take it seriously,"
he said.
If you Mr.
Joemann do not react to the content or take it seriously
then maybe the Dutch people will and they will start
putting people in Parliament who really care about their
country. The Moslems pose a real and dangerous threat to
the Netherlands and her native citizens. And if the Dutch
people value their freedom and way of life they'll have
to stand up and fight against Islam. Cowering in fear and
tepidness or even ignoring the threat will eventually
have them living under Sharia law.
