Storm Track Intimidation: Al Qaeda Launches Cyber Retribution on 11/11

It seems the anti-jihadists on the Net are getting under Al Qaeda’s skin. DEBKA reports that Osama’s jihadists are planning to launch a cyber-attack on November 11^TH.

In a special Internet announcement in Arabic, picked up DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources, Osama bin Laden’s followers announced Monday, Oct. 29, the launching of Electronic Jihad. On Sunday, Nov. 11, al Qaeda’s electronic experts will start attacking Western, Jewish, Israeli, Muslim apostate and Shiite Web sites. On Day One, they will test their skills against 15 targeted sites expand the operation from day to day thereafter until hundreds of thousands of Islamist hackers are in action against untold numbers of anti-Muslim sites.

Like in the history of the Emperor’s new clothes, where he thought that he was so above criticism that he could stroll through town absolutely naked and know that no one would comment, Al Qaeda can no longer stand the pin-pricks of a ‘small minority’ of web sites who see through the naked aggression of the Islamists compared to the massive MSM and left-wing blogs that continuously spew out their Islamic appeasing, apologetic rhetoric and living up to the meaning of the term “useful idiots’.

DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources report that, shortly after the first announcement, some of al Qaeda’s own Web sites went blank, apparently crashed by the American intelligence computer experts tracking them.

The next day, Oct. 30, they were up again, claiming their Islamic fire walls were proof against infidel assault.

They also boasted an impenetrable e-mail network for volunteers wishing to join up with the cyber jihad to contact and receive instructions undetected by the security agencies in their respective countries.

Our sources say the instructions come in simple language and are organized in sections according to target. They offer would-be martyrs, who for one reason or another are unable to fight in the field, to fulfill their jihad obligations on the Net. These armchair martyrs are assured of the same thrill and sense of elation as a jihadi on the “battlefield.”

72 cyber-virgins, anyone? Maybe they can just commit cyber-suicide by reading KOS.

The electronic war they have declared could cause considerable trouble on the world’s Internet.

Keep your powder dry in the coming weeks. In closing, I offer this one little pin-prick from my humble blog.

Three men - a Canadian farmer, Osama bin Laden and a Texan are all working together one day.

They come across a lantern and a Genie pops out of it.

"I will give each of you one wish, which is three wishes in total", says the Genie.

The Canadian says, "I am a farmer and my son will also farm. I want the land to be forever fertile in Canada ."

POOF! With the blink of the Genie's eye, the land in Canada was forever fertile for farming.

Osama was amazed, so he said, "I want a wall around Afghanistan , Palestine , Iraq and Iran so that no infidels, Americans or Canadians can come in our precious land."

POOF! Again, with the blink of the Genie's eye, there was a huge wall around those countries.

The Texan says, "I am very curious. Please tell me more about this wall."

The Genie explains, "Well, it's about 5,000 feet high, 5oo feet thick and completely surrounds the country. Nothing can get in or out; it's virtually impenetrable."

The Texan sits down, cracks a beer, smiles, and says, "Fill it with water."

Cheers!

Storm Track Intimidation: Muslim Prisoners Sue Over Ham

Do you like
green eggs and ham?

I do not like them,
Sam-I-am.
I do not like
green eggs and ham.

Would you like them
here or there?

I would not like them
here or there.
I would not like them
anywhere.
I do not like
green eggs and ham.

My apologies to Dr. Seuss but Sam-I-Am isn’t the only one who doesn’t like ham. In fact certain parties in Britain are considering suing the government over it.

For some reason incarcerated criminals in the West feel they are entitled so certain privileges and what was once a punishment is more like an alternative lifestyle threes day. Muslims are quick to take advantage of the bleeding hearts who feel prisoners are being unduly treated (what about their victims? Never mind). Combine that heart disease with the mental disease of multiculturalism and you have Muslim prisoners demanding their rights.

Or is it the next round of “See? We’re torturing prisoners, again!”

Muslim prisoners are considering suing the authorities for £2 million after they were offered ham sandwiches to eat during the holy month of Ramadan. The inmates at HMP Leeds, a category B local prison, claim that their human rights have been breached as a result.

And what bout the human rights of their victims?

It said Muslim prisoners had been given "inappropriate" menu cards for their packed lunches but denied that any had actually been given ham sandwiches. A spokesman said: "Guidelines state that prisoners must have a diet which meets the requirements of their religion."

You can hear them now. A mistake! A mistake! How dare you insult a Muslim you little dhimmis! You will pay for this – about £2 million.

Besides – aren’t Muslims suppose to fast during Ramadan?

Storm Track Appeasement: Now the ACLU is Making State Policy.

It’s enough that the American Criminal Liberties Union is trying to bring down our Judeo-Christian culture by attacking anyone with crosses or the word God in it and defending the rights of pedophiles and child rapists, now they think they can make state policy.

Tariq Ramadan, that well-known terrorist supporter, was banned from entering the US in 2006 on the grounds that he aided a terrorist group by making charitable contributions to a Palestinian aid group from 1998 to 2002. The ACLU, of course, finds that abhorable. Now they’re defending the rights of non-American citizens. Talk about a God complex!

A U.S. government attorney urged a judge not to interfere with the decision to block a prominent Muslim scholar from entering the country. But an American Civil Liberties Union lawyer told U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty on Thursday that the government violated the First Amendment rights of the groups that invited the scholar, Tariq Ramadan, to speak.

There’s really no surprise here. The ACLU would support Dr. Goebbels to enter our country for propaganda purposes until we wet to war with Germany.

Assistant U.S. attorney David Jones told the judge that Congress had made clear that courts were not to overturn State Department decisions on excluding foreigners from entering the U.S. He urged Crotty not to force the government to relax anti-terrorism policies and let Ramadan into the country.

At any rate, "there simply is not an epidemic of ideological exclusion," Jones said.

Crotty did not immediately rule in the case, though he said the law seemed clear that he cannot second-guess the ruling by a State Department consular officer.

Damn right you can’t. And the ACLU has no business telling the State Department how to run its foreign relations.

Storm Track Disinformation: A Big Brouhaha in Denmark

The far right party of Demark is not pulling any punches getting their message across about the Islamic threat to their country. It seems that the far-right party depicted Mohammed in one their election materials. Though an honest interpretation of events surrounding the well known Mo-toon controversy, this political ad didn’t sit very well with some Danes. To wit – a Danish-Muslim group.

The ad by the Danish People’s Party, the country’s third largest political force, showed a hand-drawn picture of the Islamic prophet under the slogan “Freedom of expression is Danish, censorship is not”. The ad was condemned as a “provocation” by at least one Danish-Muslim group, as Islam forbids representation of its most important prophet.

The Danish-Muslim group hit back.

Now Asmaa Abdol-Hamid, a Danish-Muslim politician who could become the first MP to wear the hijab in the Danish parliament if elected in next month's poll, has hit back with a poster showing a hand-drawn picture of the DPP leader, Pia Kjaersgaard, under the slogan "Freedom of expression is Danish, stupidity is not".

"It is ridiculous [of the DPP] to do that kind of thing," Ms Abdol-Hamid told Guardian Unlimited. "It's not clever, there is no point to it."

Oh really? How about this point? From the Mo-toon protests.

Or This?

I think there are more than enough grounds for cleverness, Ms Abdol-Hamid. What do you think?

“Silence! I Kill You!”

Here’s some Sunday relief from the stress of anti-jihad. Achmed the dead terrorist is on stage;

Achmed makes fun of Saddam’s mustard gas, and of Lindsay Lohan, this is the pure story of a suicide bomber who exploded accidentally after activating the bomb and setting it to 30 minutes, but the bad thing was that it exploded after 4 seconds. Achmed hopes he will get his 72 virgins, but he gets shocked when he finds out they didn’t specify that the 72 virgins will be females.

Storm Track Intimidation: Islam - The Religion of Peace Speaks

Found this little piece of news over at Up Pompii. When will we learn that with Muslims, voluntary accommodation leads most often to arrogant demands? A Turkish mosque's chief threatens violent revolt in Amsterdam if Amsterdam city council bars construction of the Westermoskee mosque.

If Amsterdam city council bars construction of the Westermoskee mosque, a great demonstration of Turks from throughout Europe will be held. The possibility of this degenerating into violence cannot be ruled out, the Turkish organisation Milli Gorus warns.

The controversial Westermoskee in Amsterdam will be built come what may, said Fatih Dag of the Turkish mosque organisation in Trouw newspaper. If the government blocks its building, Milli Gorus will call on Turks throughout the whole of Europe to demonstrate. Dag hopes this would be a peaceful procession, but fears it could get out of hand. "Our people are emotional and someone crazy can just be walking among them," he said in the newspaper.

There’ the veiled threat of the iron hand in the velvet glove Muslims love to use to intimidate dhimmis.

The building of the 42 metre tall, 18-million euros Neo-Ottoman Westermoskee was blocked months ago after Milli Gorus' orthodox German head office replaced management in Amsterdam. After that, reports surfaced that Milli Gorus had wheedled billions of euros out of Turks since the 1990s by having them invest in Islamic investment funds.

That is, Shari’a compliant investment vehicles - in other words, financial Jihad.

Amsterdam politicians advised against the building of the new Westermoskee in the 1990s for fears of the orthodox course, but after much lobbying, the project was last year dubbed a symbol of integration by the then Justice Minster Donner, who laid the foundation-stone.

I love it. Submission to dhimmitude is “a symbol of integration”. HA!!

"Do not forget", added Dag in Trouw, "that we began the project with a number of Turks, but with all the hindrance, it has now become a matter for many Muslims throughout the Netherlands. I expect a revolt among them, naturally within the legal boundaries, but still: Our people are more emotional than you Europeans. And there can be a crazy person among them."

Only ONE? I won’t comment on that last sentence. You probably spit up your coffee on that one.

Hey Europe? Grow a damn spine?

Storm Track Infiltration: A New Form of Financial Jihad

Muslim charitable organizations are not the only way Jihadists can funnel financial support to their cause. Ever morphing in response to pressure on this form of crack-down, the financial jihad has turned to a new way to skirt anti-terror laws.

Essential to the aims of the jihadists is the Muslim sacrament of zakat. Zakat, one of the pillars of Islam, requires Muslims to donate 2.5 percent of their incomes to charity. As the indictment in the Holyland Foundation case showed, most of the money that the five defendants transferred to Hamas was transferred through zakat committees in Palestinian cities in Judea, Samaria and Gaza. These committees then transferred the monies to Hamas terrorists, their family members, political leaders and terror cells.

THE ESTABLISHMENT of charitable front organizations is merely one of many ways in which jihadist groups have raised funds. Today terror analysts fear that a new means has been found to skirt anti-terror laws and finance terror while rendering the financial systems of the West vulnerable to Islamic manipulation and control. The fear is that through the burgeoning presence of Shari'a-compliant investment houses, jihadist groups and financiers will be able to raise enormous sums of money to fund their nefarious activities aimed at global domination.

In the pursuit of the holy Euro, countries in Europe are rushing to create Shari’a-compliant vehicles to tap the lucrative Muslim investment market. International investment and banking firms have also entered the fray. The Shari’a compliant investment market is growing – and growing fast.

What the greedy bankers don’t know is that Shari’a compliment finance is not part of ancient Shari’a law.

Islamic clerics tout Shari'a-finance as one of the central components of Islam. But this is untrue. Shari'a economics did not exist until the founders of the Muslim Brotherhood Maulana Abul Ala Mawdudi and Sayyd Qutb invented it them in the 1940s and 1950s. As Alex Alexiev explained in a recent paper on the subject published by the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC, the purpose of Shari'a economics was to mobilize Muslim support for radical Islam by promoting Muslim exclusivity and separatism. That is, the purpose of Shari'a finance is religious and political, not financial.

Given the religious rather than financial aim of Shari'a-compliant investing, it isn't surprising that Shari'a-compliant investments are little more than a word game. Paying lip service to the Koranic prohibition on interest-based transactions and risky investments, Mawdudi and Qutb invented various means to cover the fact that Shari'a-compliant investments involve both interest payments and risk.

UNDERSTANDING that Shari'a-compliant investments are the same as regular investments, banking and other financial institutions in the West that are naturally interested in attracting Islamic investors have enthusiastically opened Shari'a-compliant portfolios. Unfortunately, the banks' enthusiasm is raft with security and perhaps even criminal implications.

And guess who sits on the organizations that drive the Shari'a-compliant movement?

In order for investments to be defined as Shari'a-compliant, they must receive the approval of Shari'a advisors. Only certain Islamic entities are entitled to issue religious rulings or fatwas that can recognize investments as Shari'a-compliant. These entities include the Fiqh Academy in Jedda, Saudi Arabia, which is associated with the Saudi-dominated Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC); the European Council for Fatwa Research, and the Fatwa Council of North America. All of these entities are associated with the radical pro-jihadist Wahabi and Salafi schools of Islam adhered to by groups such as al-Qaida and Hamas.

Similarly, the groups that these organizations spawned for the express purpose of overseeing Shari'a-compliant investments and the people authorized and recognized as Islamic authorities capable of declaring an investment Shari'a-compliant are identified with political Islam and, in several cases with terror financing and support. For instance, radical cleric and jihad ideologue Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi is recognized as an expert in Shari'a-compliant investments. So is Sheikh Muhammad Taqi Usmani.

It may work out that by bringing what is essentially a cartel sympathetic to jihad into their institutions, they will inadvertently be picking up the slack caused by the shuttering of non-profits like the Holyland Foundation.

What was it that Lenin said? That the capitalists will sell us the rope to hang them with? Are we selling that same rope to the Jihadists today?

Storm Track Disinformation: The Left Needs to Get Its Definitions Straight

It seems the liberal Left has its panties in a bunch over the growing popularity of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week. The author of a column at Badger Herald is all in huff about the term Islamo-fascist. Like any good lefty he consulted his dictionary and came up with this definition.

Anyone knowledgeable about politics can tell you that fascism — a system where citizens are subservient to the state — is the antithesis of radical Islam — a system where practitioners are subservient to the Quran.

Umm…excuse me. You are not knowledgeable about politics, sir. Fascism is the correct word because – and this is where the Islamic apologist show their ignorance of political history – Islam is the State. Islam is both a religion and a socio-political system of thought. Islamism is the proper term for the ideology and Islamo-fascist is the correct term for those who practice it.

But the author the piece only starts to show his ignorance.

David Horowitz, the infamous architect of Students for Academic Freedom — which, despite its name, threatens academic freedom in college classrooms to promote its own conservative agenda — is no stranger to controversy.

Ah! Finally! A moon bat shows his true colors! If you promote a conservative agenda you are against academic freedom. Could it be that it’s the other way around. That in most colleges and universities today if you’re not advancing a liberal agenda than you are not free to state your academic position?

Does he hear himself talking at all? Or is the din of political correctness in his brain muting any sounds of logic. He goes on digging his hole deeper.

Coining the oxymoron “Fascist Islam” has allowed radical Zionists like Mr. Horowitz to compare today’s terrorists with Germany’s Nazis, evoking shameful and chilling reminders of the Holocaust to help justify Israel’s aggressive military policies and America’s support for them.

Wrong again Mr. Liberal. Have you read in about the president of Iran who threatened to create a second holocaust and wipe Israel off the map? It was in all the papers. What would call that? Multiculturalism or Nazism?

And then the liberal pulls the ‘ol “if you’re not a Muslim how can you know what Islam is about” trick out of his hat.

Many of the speakers are not only completely out of touch with the mainstream; they lack the qualifications or general credibility to foster intellectual discussions on Islam, terrorism, or women’s rights.

Yet it is at universities where attempts to analyze and understand threats to American security help create critical research for government intelligence and public intellectualism. So in what lapse of rational thought did efforts to “understand” the enemy amount to being “sympathetic” to them? American universities were not the breeding grounds for the nineteen men who crashed planes into U.S. buildings six years ago. American universities are not responsible for recruiting Iraqi insurgents to kill U.S. soldiers or inciting suicide bombers to blow up people in Gaza.

Let’s see. Universities, by ‘understanding the enemy’ helped to create critical research for government intelligence. Yep. They sure did a lot of good helping to prevent 9-11. And Mr. Liberal, your constant appeasing and apologizing for radial Islam emboldens them in their goal of world domination - oh that’s right, you don’t believe in that - because you show weakness and they are happy to have you as their useful idiot.

It is at these institutions where the rights of Islamic women have been fought for so strongly.

What a crock of buffalo chips! What gall he has! When was the last time Mr. Liberal the femo-nazis demonstrated in front of Muslim embassies against burkas, veiled women form head to toe, honor killings, and clitectomies?

In order to show that a majority of Americans reject this sick strain of racism — just as many Muslims reject terrorists who murder in the name of Islam — campus groups like Hillel and College Republicans should take the initiative to co-sponsor an event with the Muslim Students’ Association that is informative, factual and free of the extremist bias of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week

Yep. That’s the answer. Get the straight poop on Islam right from the propagandist’s mouth. How about inviting the un-indicted co-conspirators Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, and the North American Islamic Trust in the Hamas funding case while you’re at it.

Anything less would be a sign of complacency.

Talk about twisting reality. It’s you who are being complacent. We are not. That’s the purpose and need of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.

Storm Track Disinformation: The Language of Jihad

I’ve been waiting to see the analysis of the letter from the 138 Muslim leaders call for common ground with Christians before I blogged on it. Many of the Christian leadership and political pundits shot from the hip and said this was a peaceful overture to non-Muslims and perhaps the beginning of a dialogue of peace between Muslims and non-Muslims.

To bad it ain’t so.

The reason is that we are dealing with an alien culture to our own. One that speaks its own language, has its own pedagogy, and except for a few non-Muslim scholars on Islam like Robert Spencer, it’s a language that the non-Muslim world ceases to understand.

Some say Muslims don’t say what they mean. That there words are a type of lie, or what Muslims call ‘taqiyya’. Though Muslims are permitted to lie and misdirect non-Muslims with their words, they, more often than not, mean exactly what they say. It’s just that the meaning of many of their words is very different from those of non-Muslims.

And the recent letter proves it.

First a personal experience as told by Robert Spencer. He was riding in a cab to some lecture he was doing years ago and saw that the cab driver was middle-eastern. He asked the driver if he was a Muslim. He said yes. Spencer asked why Muslim suicide bombers kill innocent people. The cab driver replied that it was against the Koran to kill innocent people – except if they’re Jews. To Muslims, the word innocent does not apply to everyone. There is a pecking order of innocence.

All Muslims are innocent. People of the Book – aka, the Bible - who welcome Islam either through conversion or submission are innocent. Infidels or those that refuse to accept Islam are not innocent – except the Jews. They’re damned if they do and dammed they don’t.

So let’s look at that letter and see what it really says.

One of the best analyses comes from Phyllis Chesler.

May I suggest that you share the following three points with Christians and Jews (People of the Book) and of course with Muslims whom you may know. These points were made by a Christian student of the Qur’an, “Steve Chambers,” (a pseudonym), who has self-published a book entitled “Jihad On Us All. The Roots and Branches of Islamic Militancy” (and is available through Amazon online). One ex-Muslim and one Christian Qur’anic scholar who do not wish to be named agree with his points.

POINT ONE: The very title of the letter, “A Common Word between Us and You” comes from the Qur’an. Here’s a fuller quote, from 3:63-66:, which says: ‘people of the book, let us come to a common word between us and you that we will worship none except Allah, that we will associate none with him, and that none of us take others for lords besides Allah. ‘if they turn away, say: ‘bear witness that we are Muslims. People of the book [i.e., Christians and Jews], why do you dispute about Abraham when both the Torah and the Gospel were not sent down till after him?’

In other words, the Qur’an - Allah - is saying that the Qur’an’s view of Abraham, including his having been prepared to sacrifice Ishmail rather than Isaac, is correct and the Torah and New Testament are wrong because they were written by human, not through explicit divine revelation. In fact, this verse comes from a later chapter which “abrogates” (nullifies or overturns) earlier more conciliatory chapters and precedes the last chapter or two which call for “offensive jihad” against the “People of the Book.”

TWO: The Letter appears to follow a very ugly and dangerous precedent in Islamic history. Just before Mohammed’s death, he supposedly sent audacious letters to the heads of the three main empires of his day and region - the Persians, Egyptians, and Byzantines. His message: convert or be conquered. All three emperors supposedly laughed him off. Their empires were all conquered by Muslim jihadists.

THREE: The similarities between the religions are not as important as the differences. “Love thy neighbor” does not appear in the Qur’an, except when that neighbor is Muslim. Nor does, “turn the other cheek.” But “submit to Islamic rule or die” does. The Muslim clerics state: “As Muslims, we say to Christians that we are not against them and that Islam is not against them - so long as they do not wage war against Muslims on account of their religion, oppress them and drive them out of their homes.”

Let’s look at those three phases. On the surface non-Muslims would say that, or course, we shouldn’t do those things. But those three phrases are a veiled political statement of Muslim reality today. Waging war against Muslim is in reference to Iraq and Afghanistan. Should we have not gone into Afghanistan after 9-11 to wipe out the jihadists there who claimed responsibility for it? After all, it was OBL, a Muslim, who declared war on us.

And who is oppressing who? Muslims can practice their religion freely in non-Muslim countries but that is not reciprocated in Muslim countries. By constantly whining about being oppressed they seek to gain accommodation and appeasement from the non-Muslim societies to move their agenda forward of Islamitizing the world.

As for driving Muslims out of their homes, this a veiled attempt at capitalizing on the lies of the Left who say our soldiers terrorize innocent Iraqi citizens in their homes.

This is a grotesque bit of taqiyya, (theologically permissible propaganda) not to mention a total misrepresentation of Christian attitudes towards Muslims. After all, in Muslim countries Christians are systematically being driven out, while in Christian countries in the West, Muslims are rapidly increasing.

Here’s another analyses of those phrases from Freedom Fighter’s Journal.

The scholars state: “As Muslims, we say to Christians that we are not against them and that Islam is not against them - so long as they do not wage war against Muslims on account of their religion, oppress them and drive them out of their homes.”

In other words, we Muslims are not against Christianity, so long as Christians don’t do any of the myriad things we Muslims are hard-wired to regard as “waging war against” us. This is often repeated by apologists of Islam who maintain that Islam, the religion of peace, only resorts to war in self-defense.

Robert Spencer explains just “how elastic and essentially meaningless the concept of fighting only in self defense” actually is in Islam.

By way of example, he records the answer to an inquiry about offensive jihad given by South African mufti Ebrahim Desai, who confirmed that, since “the primary responsibility of the Muslim ruler is to spread Islam throughout the world…if a country doesn’t allow the propagation if Islam to its inhabitants in a suitable manner or creates hindrances to this, then the Muslim ruler would be justified in waging Jihad against this country…If the Kuffar [unbelievers] allow us to spread Islam peacefully, then we would not wage Jihad against them.” (The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades).

Spencer concludes the concept has no boundaries at all:

That constitutes a sufficient provocation? Must the defending side wait until the enemy strikes the first military blow? These questions have no clear or definitive answers in Islamic law, making it possible for anyone to portray virtually any struggle as defensive without violating the strict canons of that law. But this also renders meaningless the oft-repeated claims that jihad warfare can only be defensive.

As we’ve seen, Muslims can justify defensive warfare over slights including a non-belligerent Christian leader addressing a Christian audience (Benedict at Regensburg), in a Christian nation and making mention of some failings of Islam, or the insupportable cartoon riots when the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published drawings of Mohammed--neither of which remotely entailed waging war on Muslims nor driving any from their homes: (but of course, many found themselves “oppressed” by being forced to share a planet with people holding contrary opinions about the Prophet!).

Any abused enabling wife will tell you that her black eyes are not the fault of her husband for being a brute, but her fault for always doing things that drive him crazy. If she would just give him what he needs to remain peaceful, he's as harmless as a lamb.

And what does the Vatican think of this letter after studying it over the last week or so?

The top Vatican official for Islam has praised a novel Muslim call for dialogue but said real theological debate with them was difficult as they saw the Koran as the literal word of God and would not discuss it in depth.

Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, in an interview on Friday with the French Catholic daily La Croix, also said Christians would have to discuss curbs on building churches in the Islamic world in the dialogue advocated by 138 Muslim scholars in the appeal.

His interview, coming after mostly positive comments by other Catholic Islam experts, signaled the world's largest Christian church wanted a serious dialogue with Muslims that did not avoid some fundamental issues dividing the religions.

"Muslims do not accept that one can discuss the Koran in depth, because they say it was written by dictation from God," Tauran said. "With such an absolute interpretation, it is difficult to discuss the contents of faith."

The fact that Muslims can build mosques in Europe while many Islamic states limit or ban church building cannot be ignored, he said. "In a dialogue among believers, it is fundamental to say what is good for one is good for the other," he said.

Right. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander. At least they have their heads screwed on straight and can see through the taqiyya of the imans.

Winds of War: The Double Bind of Jihad

Glenn Beck, no stranger to controversy, lays it on the line for Muslims. He says that unless Muslims wake up to the fact that a terrorist attack that kills tens of thousands of innocent Americans Muslims will be viewing the West through razor wire.

I hope he’s wrong.

If what Beck says comes to pass, we will be giving the Jihadists just what they want. 1.2 billion Muslims screaming Holy War.

In a post I wrote in mid-September I outlined the process Islamism is using to conquer the non-Muslim world. The militant jihadists use terrorism to reach their goal while the fundamentalist Muslims use political Islam. The tactics of political Islam is a slow patient process where they work to slowly Islamatize both Muslim and non-Muslim societies while militant jihad seeks to overthrow those societies through terrorism and impose Islam directly.

You would think that the violent tactics of the jihadists would undercut the process of political Islam making targeted societies more defensive and less likely to submit to Islamism. But that may not be entirely true.

The Jihadists, like al-Qaeda, are trying to start a holy war between Islam and the West. They preach that the free democracies are at war with Islam itself and seek to destroy it. But to create that dream of a global holy war, the Jihadists need the active support of the 1.2 billion Muslims through the world. But it will take more than the war in Iraq and in Afghanistan, more than successful terrorist attacks, more than fringe hate elements on the right to awaken the ummah to the manufactured threat of a holy war by the Jihadists.

The 1.2 billion worldwide Muslims need to see their religion, in no uncertain terms, under attack by the free democracies. For that, the Jihadists need to create events so monstrous that the population of a non-Muslim country will respond by attacking and/or persecuting any and all Muslims and their organizations and mosques in their midst or, if through a massive WMD attack, respond with a nuclear attack on a Muslim country.

That is Beck’s ‘Muslims will be viewing the West through razor wire’ scenario.

In order to prevent this scenario from happening, our political leadership has to step up NOW and explain to their Muslim and non-Muslim constituent who the enemy is and how they are going t confront the many different forms of Jihad that violent and non-violent Islamist are using to Islamatize the world like media jihad, legal jihad, institutional jihad, financial jihad, etc. etc.

So how are they doing? The current administration has bought into the Islam is peace lie lock, stock and barrel. Why don’t they open up any textbook on Islam and see that Islam means submission. Pease in Islam only comes when all submit to Allah. They finally came around to some semblance of understanding – but not far enough.

The bush administration lost valuable time before it finally defined radical Islam as the premier national security threat in October 2005. Initially in the post-9/11 period, the president targeted "evildoers" and "terrorism" as the enemy. Moreover, Islam was declared a "religion of peace" and Saudi Arabia, which has spent the last 30 years spreading its Wahhabi/Salafi gospel, was labeled as" our friend." Unsurprisingly, the nation and the military were somewhat disoriented.

As for the Democrats, they refuse to even mention the words Jihad and Caliphate. When Romney ran a small political add saying what most analysts both military and civilian admit – that Islamists are waging Jihad and want to re-establish the Caliphate – the DNC went ballistic. How dare he use "caliphate" and "jihad" in the same 30 second spot!

So, for now, the prediction of Beck’s razor wire does not only threatens Muslims but also provide the tool that the jihadists need to create their global Holy War.

Al we can do now is hope we get a President in 2008 that sees the threat for what it is and strongly and aggressively confronts political Islam and explain to America – both Muslim and non-Muslim alike – what is at stake.

Winds of War: Pelosi Slams Muslim Ideology Behind Bhutto Blast

Reminiscent of the headline in the NYT the day the Towers fell on 9-11 “World Trade Towers Fall. Hundreds of Women and Minorities Killed”, Nancy Pelosi has an epiphany.

(2007-10-19) — As the death toll climbed past 130, with nearly 400 injured, in a suicide-bomb assassination attempt on former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned the attack as “symptomatic of fundamentalist Islam’s crusade against equality for women.”

Rep. Pelosi, D-CA, said the fact that a prominent female politician was targeted has shaken her thinking about the war on terror.

“This misogynistic massacre has finally got it through my thick skull what President Bush has been trying to tell us for years,” she said. “These terrorists have no legitimate political grievance, no conscience, and no place in civilized society. We must crush them wherever they are to prevent the spread of their poisonous ideology and brutal tactics.”

Rep. Pelosi said that when news of the attack broke, she held a conference call with Senators Hillary Clinton, D-NY, and Barbara Boxer, D-CA. The three women agreed that “if these evil men are willing to attack a beautiful, charismatic female politician overseas, there’s not much to stop them from trying it on U.S. soil.”

The three lawmakers plan to introduce legislation next week to increase funding for the surge in Iraq, to finish the fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, and to remove barriers to eavesdropping by U.S. spies on suspected terrorist communications at home and abroad.

“These woman-haters need to know that we mean business,” Rep. Pelosi said. “And to those who commit these atrocities against women, I say, we will no longer tolerate, we will no longer negotiate, and we will no longer be afraid. It’s your turn to be afraid.“

Oh, if it would only be true! Hey Pelosi! There’s more truth here than satire.

News Flash! Nothing Happened Today! Muslims Take Note!

There were no riots. No burning buildings. No killings. In fact no news at all.

Except for this.

"My Sweet Lord," an anatomically correct milk chocolate sculpture of Jesus Christ that infuriated Catholics before its April unveiling was canceled, returns Oct. 27 to a Chelsea art gallery, its creator said Tuesday.

This time, artist Cosimo Cavallaro said he expects the public exhibit to proceed without a problem.

"There is nothing offensive about this," Cavallaro said of his controversial confectionary work. "If my intentions were to offend, if I did do something wrong, I wouldn't be doing this. But I didn't do anything wrong."

Cavallaro, who received death threats before the April show was canceled, said the vast majority of his mail was in support of his six-foot piece.

"I got a lot of positive mail from people in the Catholic Church, people studying theology, people in monasteries -- all kinds of letters and e-mails of support," he said.

"We don't approve of the piece at all, but it's not something we're going to protest," said Kiera McCaffrey, the league's director of communications. "This is much less an in-your-face assault on Christians, and it's not happening during Holy Week."

The exhibit, at the Proposition Gallery in Manhattan, will be accompanied by a set of chocolate Catholic icons created by Cavallaro, a group that includes the Virgin Mary and saints Francis, Augustine, Michael, Jude, Anthony and Fermin.

Muslims take note. This is how we handle free speech in the civilized world – no matter how inane.

Storm Track Infiltration: Jihad in New Jersey

While Pelosi and her gang are trying to limit government surveillance of terrorist communications and local cells, the FBI has been successful using the very same tools the Democrats would like to remove.

Osama bin Laden may be hiding in the impenetrable mountains near the Afghanistan border, but FBI counterterror officials say they have identified several of his associates in a far more accessible spot -- northern New Jersey. The FBI's elite Joint Terrorism Task Force in Newark says it is not only monitoring a number of North Jersey residents with ties to al-Qaida, but that agents have quietly "disrupted" their activities and even deported a few.

For the past six years, FBI officials have routinely declined to discuss counterterror measures in northern New Jersey. But last week, the FBI granted The Record limited access to the offices of its Joint Terrorism Task Force, in a gleaming glass building in Newark overlooking the Passaic River.

This unusual glimpse into the inner workings of North Jersey's primary counterterrorism force revealed the following:

# Task force investigators have discovered that every major terrorist group in the world, including Hamas and Hezbollah, has at least one North Jersey contact. The lone exception is Afghanistan's ultra-fundamentalist sect, the Taliban.

# The task force is currently conducting more than 400 counterterror investigations. These range from probes into Bin Laden's network to neo-Nazis to environmental terrorists.

# Each month, a task force "response" squad receives as many as a dozen new tips about possible nuclear, biological or chemical terrorism in New Jersey. These range from citizen concerns about a mysterious powder to the report that three ships were sailing to New Jersey with radiological material on board. Squad members were even dispatched to Emerson last month after school administrators received a threat to blow up schools.

# Undercover agents attend all professional football games at Giants Stadium. Agents also plan to monitor the upcoming Breeders' Cup at Monmouth Park Racetrack.

# Task force agents routinely travel overseas. One is currently in Iraq; another is in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, helping to question suspected al-Qaida captives at the U.S. naval base there. Newark-based agents also played a role in the investigation of the murder of Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl and provided information to assist the interrogation of 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

William Sweeney Jr., whose squad monitors potential terrorists in Hudson County, said some tips for local investigations can originate in the unlikeliest places.

In one case, Sweeney described how U.S. soldiers confiscated a laptop computer when they captured a suspected al-Qaida operative in Iraq. When the laptop's files were examined, investigators discovered several New Jersey phone numbers.

"Why was a person in New Jersey in the address book of a bad guy picked up in Iraq?" Sweeney asked. "We have to check it out."

Yeah. Why? Do You Have At Terrorist Living Next Door?

Sometimes it takes a picture to see the threat that lives within us. You may have a known Terror Cell next door. From America’s Truth Forum.

Storm Track Infiltration: Illegal Knock-off Funding Terrorism

The financial jihad continues. The Islamists are always looking for ways to fund their jihad. This time it’s through Paraguay. Hat tip to Debra.

The Tri-Border is the home of the largest illicit economy in the Western Hemisphere, and the specialty is financial crime. Counterfeiting, intellectual property fraud, trademark fraud, money laundering and smuggling add up to an estimated $12 billion a year in illegal trade in Ciudad del Este.

Illegal knock-offs for almost every conceivable product can be found in every store on every street. It's been a part of Paraguay's troubled economic history for decades.

McCabe Associates, has investigators all over Latin America, tapping people from the FBI, CIA, DEA, U.S. Customs, the U.S. military and several prosecutors' offices. In the last ten years, McCabe's investigations have led to the seizure of more than $100 million worth of counterfeit goods.

On a good day, McCabe's teams confiscate tens of thousands of dollars worth of pirated goods — hundreds of boxes brimming with everything from illegal software to counterfeit cell phone batteries, electronics, Barbies, illegal drugs.

Almost any product you can think of has an illegal knock-off available in this city. And every day, millions of these goods make their way across the border from Paraguay into the Brazilian and Argentinian marketplace.

Even with state officials watching, sneaking the counterfeits through customs is far from difficult. For example, a whopping 25,000 people a day cross just a single bridge into Brazil, making it easy for the local locals — who are expert at moving the illegal products — to smuggle even in broad daylight. Even more troubling though, is the destination for much of the earnings from this illicit economy: terrorist financing.

Some 25,000 Lebanese nationals live in the Tri-Border. American officials say Middle East terror groups like Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah are receiving huge amounts of money from the region's illegal activities. So much that it has become a very important source of terrorist support. How important? "It’s critically important from the standpoint of consistency," said Dennis Lormel, an investigator with the Federal Bureau of Investigation. "The tri-border area is probably the most lucrative area for Hezbollah outside of the state sponsors."

The situation has drawn the attention of Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, who says hundreds of millions of dollars coming out of the region is being laundered through New York banks. "Between $50 million to $500 million goes to Hamas and Hezbollah," Morgenthau said. "On a quiet day, $4 trillion goes through New York, so it's relatively easy to hide a million or a billion dollars when you have this huge flow of money."

And where are the democrats on this one? Oh yeah. They’ll blame it on the Bush and his greedy administration.

Storm Track Infiltration: Political Islam Making Inroads in the Netherlands

I know. So what else is new? Well, what’s new is that the Dutch intelligence service may finally be waking up. It seems it doesn’t take a windmill to fall on them to know that something stinks in Holland.

The Dutch security service the AIVD, has reported that Salafism is gaining ground in Holland. Salafism - aka Wahabbism or radical Dawa - is a ‘purist’ version of Islam, that believes that life was most perfect in the time of Mohammed, and every society should reject modernity and strive to be like 7th century Arabia.

Despite its non-violent character, the radical dawa is an extremely intolerant and anti-democratic movement. Followers of the radical dawa strive for a large degree of isolation, combined with intolerance towards dissenters. The AIVD emphasizes that the group of individuals which is sensitive and open to the radical Islamic message is growing.

The latest report puts that number at between 20,000 and 30,000 Dutch Muslims. Or, rather, 20,000-30,000 Muslims resident in the Netherlands. Put another way, the population density of radical Muslims is 2 per square mile. A virtual Mongolia of hate.

The Dutch security services monitor the rise of radicalism in the mosques, but when confronted with actual Jihadis, their primary response appears to be to offer employment assistance . Because of course as every right thinking person knows, poverty causes radicalism. Deportation is not considered practical and sterner measures are likely not to be considered as the whole debate is already too rough for the government to take.

The Islamists are changing tactics from preaching violence to preaching politics.

Radical Islamists have changed tack in the Netherlands and now reject violence but seek to undermine Western values and democracy, the Dutch intelligence service AIVD said in a report.

A new generation of radical preachers is speaking out against using violence in the West - a contrast to earlier phases of the movement, during which a Dutch filmmaker critical of Islam, Theo van Gogh, was murdered in 2004, the AIVD said.

The current movement is more professional, with a more political message, and aims to establish enclaves within society where Islamic law stands above secular law, it added.

It is also trying challenge democracy, branding it an unlawful system that places men above God.

The Islamists know they can use our freedoms and democratic system against us. It would be much harder in the US because of our Establishment Cause in the Constitution but in Europe where secularism reigns and all religions are supported by the state, those nations can be an easy push over.

"They are trying to undermine the independence of women, just as it is taking shape in the Muslim community in the Netherlands," Sybrand van Hulst, head of the AIVD, told Dutch public television.

"They expressly condemn homosexuality, and thus they are trying to undermine Western values, democratic values that the Muslim community in the Netherlands adheres to," he said.

The AIVD said it expected this new form of radical Islam to form an inseparable part of Western societies.

The AIVD dates the new phase to mid-2005, saying it is spearheaded by preachers who grew up in the West and therefore have a good grasp of Muslim concerns in Europe and of how political and social processes work there.

Because of its clear stance against violence, this new form of radical Islam reaches a much wider audience and has the potential to grow into a mass movement, the AIVD said.

That’s what many of us have been saying. The real long–term threat is not terrorism or militant jihad, but the non-violent political jihad being waged quietly around us.

Storm Track Disinformation: This is What Passes As Academic Thinking in the West

A blog for students engaged in doctoral studies in the field of human rights, called PhD studies in human rights, posted and article entitled “Muslim World Journal of Human Rights” (Now there’s a contradiction in terms) in which it links to an article by Barb Rieffer-Flanagan, entitled "Improving Democracy in Religious Nation-States: Norms of Moderation and Cooperation in Ireland and Iran". Quite a mouthful but your thesis has to sound impressive for the pinheads in academia to hold any water.

At any rate, you read that right. She’s comparing Ireland to Iran! And get this. She posits that the same process that transpired in Ireland between Protestants and Catholics could be used to move Iran towards civil rights in that country.

And you wonder why academics have no clue as to what’s really happening in the world. I’d love to be on her thesis committee.

Many in the human rights community have expressed concern about the illiberal religious political system found in Iran today. However, Iran is not unique in its illiberal religious nationalism. Some contemporary liberal democracies in the West also have a history of illiberal religious nationalism. The English and later the British discriminated against Catholics in various ways. The Irish also have a history of discrimination against Protestants and inequality towards women which was based on a deep seated illiberal Catholic nationalism.

Moral equivalency between good and evil run amok. This deluded moonbat is actually comparing the act of discrimination by Catholics and Protestants to the burning of churches, beheading of apostates, hanging of homosexuals and stoning of adulterers.

In all of these cases moderation and liberalization occurred over time. An interesting question is whether moderation over time might be repeated outside of Europe, especially in religiously based nations in the Middle East.

Hey Barb? I think you need a remedial course in world history. Islam does not and can not allow moderation. It is the word of Allah written down verbatim by Mohammed to all Muslims.

When looking especially at the evolution of Ireland we notice that: economic prosperity spread throughout the population, the perception of a threat from the United Kingdom declined, European norms were spread within Ireland, and there were scandals within the Catholic Church.

Did you catch the indoctrination she parroted? A literal laundry list of Leftist philosophy. And economic prosperity improved civil rights. Isn’t that the mantra of the Left? Muslims in the Middle East hate the infidel because Muslims are economically disadvantaged?

And here’s the brainwashing showing through again.

If the external threats to Iran were removed and economic prosperity was to spread, as corruption and scandals came to light, we might expect that Iran may begin to moderate its political system.

Right. Like the average Iranian isn’t aware of the corruption of the Mullahs. Iranians live in a totalitarian theocracy and are just too scared to do anything about it.

Dream on, lady, dream on. And remember she may be teaching your kid in college someday.
