Winds of War: How Some Dealt With Terrorism in History

Saw the movie ‘Vantage Point’ this weekend. One line struck me about our current fight with terrorism. One of the terrorists said just before he died. “You can’t stop us. This fight will never end.”

Over at FaithFreedom.org, a member wrote a long post about how history dealt with terrorism.

… every day the police inform us about the arrests of “peaceful Muslims” and about the plots uncovered in Italy, Spain, France, Holland, USA, Russia…

Yet, the Muslims, supported by the gang of “liberal” politicians and journalists, look at us innocently like the famous husband caught in bed with another woman and ask the same question: Who are you going to believe? Us, or your lying eyes?

And what is absolutely puzzling; there is quite a lot of people who quite seriously try to convince us that we can stop this rain of mortal attacks by being “kind” and “tolerant”, and who with clever faces repeat like parrots the senseless commonplaces like “violence gives rise to more violence”, or “two wrongs don´t make a right”, or “you cannot defeat violence with more violence”.

Is that true? History says otherwise.

The lesson from General Pershing:

Pershing dealt with the jihadist of his day in the Philippines in this way.

Pershing ordered to grease the bullets with pork lard and do it so that the Muslims to be shot would see this. After shooting the body of every terrorist was wrapped in pig leather and before the burial they were covered with pig´s entrails. Three of the Muslims were let free and they told the whole Muslim community of Philipinas details about what had happened.

You may have thought that the whole community, as one man, ran into the streets to protest, to set the cars and shops on fire, to break windows and to kill the American soldiers?You would be wrong. There was not A SINGLE TERRORIST ATTACK PERPETRATED BY MUSLIMS IN PHILIPPINES against Americans from this moment.

The lesson from General Ermolov:

Russia’s first run in with Chechens resulted in the kidnapping of a Russian General.

The Chechens then sent a man to the Commander in Chief of the Russian troops in the Caucasus, General Ermolov. This man told General Ermolov that if by tomorrow he did not pay 100,000 rubles in ransom, the kidnapped major would have his head cut off.

Immediately after this Chechen message was delivered, General Ermolov ordered the arrest of some 30 of the most respected men of the village and informed the bewildered and frightened man who brought him the ultimatum that if by tomorrow the Russian officer does not appear in his military unit, all the 30 hostages will be hanged on the gates of their houses. And if this does not happen, the next day he will order to hang the whole village.

On the next day, early in the morning, two "fearless Chechen fighters", with a lot of respect, approached the gate of the camp of the General Ermolov and told him that the Russian officer, together with his horse, had been returned, and that they humbly apologize "for the terrible mistake".

They knew Ermolov well, and knew that he would easily fulfill his promise.

The lesson of the Turkish cruiser:

The Chechens were at it again in the mid-90s. This time they confronted Turkey. Big mistake.

A cruiser going from Turkey to Russia. A group of armed Chechens on board announces: "You are all hostages! Sit still! Obey! Go out! We want the liberation of our brothers from the Russian jails"

In 3 hours the Turkish Police and Special Services found and arrested ALL the relatives of these Chechens living in Turkey. The Police then informed the guys on board the cruiser that in 5 hours the cruiser with all the passengers in good health must enter the Port of Istanbul. After which all the Chechens must leave their weapons on the deck of the cruiser and go down the ladder with their hands raised high above their heads. Otherwise the members of their families would be shot.

And in five hours the ship entered the port, and the "Chechen heroes" went down the ladder as good guys, with their hands raised high above their heads.

The lesson of the Palestinian sheikh:

An overenthusiastic sheik during the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in Lebanon recived a lesson on ‘diplomacy’ from Russia.

When the Lebanese Christians prayed for Israel to help and Israel sent troops to Lebanon and together with Lebanese Christians started to push the Syrians and Arafat’s bandits out of Lebanon, Arafat demanded the intervention of the USA to press the Israelis to withdraw. At this moment some excessively active Palestinian Sheikh decided to make his contribution "to the just struggle of Muslims", and took hostages 5 Soviet specialists who had worked there on contract with some Lebanese company. He then informed the Soviet Embassy that if the USSR does not use all its political and economic influence to make Israel withdraw, then every 24 hours one of the hostages will be beheaded.

The Soviets immediately sent to Lebanon a Special Task group, activated the local residential net and kidnapped 5 men very dear to this Sheikh.

And in a couple of hours the brave Sheikh received a package. Inside he found the head and genitals of one of his friends and a message in which he was informed that if in 6 hours all five Soviet citizens were not standing at the Soviet Embassy’s gate, the Sheikh would get a head every hour. And when the heads and genitals end, all the training camps of Palestinian Arabs in Lebanon and Syria will be leveled to the ground.

In the morning all five Russians were brought to the Soviet Embassy gate, with apologies.

Getting back to the quote by the terrorist in the movie, I’m reminded of another quote from a history professor I heard on the radio. I can’t remember his name but they were discussing a democratic nation’s response to an attack. He said, more of less that democracies are hard to incite to war. They don’t like it nor do they pursue it. But when they are finally given no choice – they respond with viciousness.

That was his word – viciousness. Remember Hiroshima?

Winds of War: The Informed American Voter

So here we are. On the cusp of one of the most important elections this country has seen in a long time. We are at war with a virulent ideology that seeks to kill you, me our families and friends and fellow Americans and we need now, more than ever, an informed and educated populous.

Unfortunately, in that regard, it doesn’t look good. Try not to gag on your coffee.

I bet many of those are Dali Obambies.

Storm Track Infiltration: The Fruits of Shari’a Law

There’s an old Arab saying that goes, ‘Let the camel’s nose into the tent and the entire camel will sure follow.’

The same goes for Shari’a law. Case in point – Nigeria. The most Rev Dr Ben Kwashi is Archbishop of Jos in Northern Nigeria and reports on the fruits of Shari’a law.

In general, Shari'a law has always been portrayed as an Islamic law restricted in operation, applying exclusively to Muslims.

However, it must be noted that with the experiences in Sudan, and with the experiences in parts of Northern Nigeria where the Islamic penal code has been in existence since 1960, it would seem that slowly but surely there is the infiltration of an Islamic system that seems deliberately to penalise non-Muslims, rather than simply remaining impartial towards them, or even ignoring their existence.

On 21 March 2007, the 32 year old mother of two was stoned, stripped, beaten and stabbed to death before her body was burnt beyond recognition by an angry mob after a Muslim student at a Government Secondary School falsely accused her of having desecrated a copy of the Quran while invigilating an exam. A student had been caught cheating and the teacher concerned had merely confiscated a paper with Arabic inscriptions which the student had hidden in a book that was not, in fact, a religious volume. Despite the fact that another (Muslim) teacher illustrated that the book was not the Quran and had not been torn, a vicious attack on the teacher was launched. The verdict was carried out without any explanation, defence or trial being allowed, The innocent was instantly condemned and brutally murdered.

In February 2004, Fulani raiders attacked an area in the south of Plateau State, claiming that they were chasing cattle thieves. At least 14 villages were affected, hundreds of homes destroyed, and according to the Christian Association of Nigeria, 1,500 people lost their lives. During the attack on the main town, Yelwa, 41 people were killed and burnt in a church and 38 murdered outside it. Every church in Yelwa was destroyed save one that was not in use, and the Christian population fled the area as it became clear that the state government was unable to protect them. All this was purportedly a response to an unproven case of cattle stealing, a case which had not even been taken to the police, let alone to a court.

In September 2001, the city of Jos, the State capital, and its environs was subjected to several days of mob violence, riots, burnings, killings and looting. Much property was destroyed and an unknown number of lives lost. The purported reason for this mayhem was that a young lady had trespassed onto a Muslim prayer ground. The girl herself was not apprehended, nor was any official complaint about her made.

Make no mistake as proven in Nigeria. The implementation of Shari’a law is really a way to subjugate non-Muslims.

Storm Track Disinformation: None Dare Call It Treason

We all remember the flap over Maj. Stephen Coughlin, a leading authority on Islamic war doctrine. He was unceremoniously dismissed from his position. Here’s why.

"As Coughlin says in his thesis, our enemies freely admit their ideas and goals. They have clearly stated their intention to infiltrate us, much like the Russians did during the Cold War. We had no problem analyzing and acting on that information then."

So what is our problem today?

We have in our country a fifth column pledged to destroy our countries democratic institutors from within. They’re called the Muslim Brotherhood. Yet we do nothing because we refuse to name the enemy for what THEY THEMSELVES say they are as they have outlined in a four-point and 20 end-item format how the Muslim Brotherhood (the Group) operating under a formal command structure and guidance as set forth by the (1.) "Organizational Conference" and the (2) "Shura Council" of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America.

A. present Islam as a civilizational alternative,
B. establish an effective and stable Islamic Movement led by the Muslim Brotherhood,
C. adopt Muslim causes domestically and globally,
D. expand the observent Muslim base,
E. unify and direct the Muslim efforts,

For the specific purpose of a Civiliazation-Jihadist Process in which all members of the Muslim Brotherhood (al-Ikhwan al-Muslimuun) understand clearly and concisely that their work in America is a grand Jihad to eliminate and destroy our nation and way of life from within so that Islam is made victorious. It is the destiny (duty) of the individual Muslim to perform this Jihad wherever he is until the final hour of Judgement Day.

NEIN blog puts in quite succinctly.

When will the government of We the People…

A.) Declare under the provisions of the 1940 Alien Registration Act (a/k/a Smith Act) that the Muslim Brotherhood in North America (MBNA) and all associated sub-groups and associations are one seditionist Islamic organization; that the MBNA has from its inception been devoted to the overthrow of the constitutional government of the United States of America and replacing same with an Islamic state within a global Islamic Khalifa by any and all means including planned acts of terrorism and armed insurrection, and
B.) Recognize that the activities of the MBNA have for the past 45 years constituted a seditionist conspiracy operating within a well organized, multi-tiered strategic disinformation and deception campaign is comprised of a membership those are born or naturalized American citizens who should be charged by the government and tried by a jury of their American citizen peers for the crime of treason against the United States of America?

Good question. Don’t hold your breath for and answer from our government of the current presidential candidate.

Storm Track Intimidation: Saudi Prince Threatened Britain with Terrorism

The Saudis are flexing their oil muscle. First it was a Saudi billionaire causes a book on terror financing to be withdrawn by a publisher, now a Saudi Prince threatened Britain with another 7/7 attack if unless British corruption probes into Saudi arms deals were halted.

Saudi Arabia's rulers threatened to make it easier for terrorists to attack London unless corruption investigations into their arms deals were halted, according to court documents revealed yesterday.

Previously secret files describe how investigators were told they faced "another 7/7" and the loss of "British lives on British streets" if they pressed on with their inquiries and the Saudis carried out their threat to cut off intelligence.

Prince Bandar, the head of the Saudi national security council, and son of the crown prince, was alleged in court to be the man behind the threats to hold back information about suicide bombers and terrorists. He faces accusations that he himself took more than £1bn in secret payments from the arms company BAE.

He was accused in yesterday's high court hearings of flying to London in December 2006 and uttering threats which made the prime minister, Tony Blair, force an end to the Serious Fraud Office investigation into bribery allegations involving Bandar and his family.

The threats halted the fraud inquiry, but triggered an international outcry, with allegations that Britain had broken international anti-bribery treaties.

It seems, as Britain continues it’s decent into dhimmitude, treaties, government responsibilities and English law no longer applies to Muslims.

Yesterday, anti-corruption campaigners began a legal action to overturn the decision to halt the case. They want the original investigation restarted, arguing the government had caved into blackmail.

The judge said he was surprised the government had not tried to persuade the Saudis to withdraw their threats. He said: "If that happened in our jurisdiction [the UK], they would have been guilty of a criminal offence". Counsel for the claimants said it would amount to perverting the course of justice.

As oil climbs past $100 a barrel, we’re going to see more and more of this ‘caving into blackmail’ until the free world understands that oil is national security issue and a weapon of war that is being waged against the democracies.

Wake Up People !! Get off the oil tit. It’s a matter of national survival. Drill anywhere we can in the free world. Build those nuclear power plants. Burn that coal – and the environmentalists be dammed! We’re not going to get free of foreign oil with solar panels, wimpy automobiles and florescent light bulbs.

Once we are out from under the oil boot of the Middle East, then we can consider the environmental issues.

Storm Track Disinformation: Why the Twains Will Never Meet

East is East and West is West, Mark Twain said, and the twains shall never meet. It’s also true about liberals and conservatives. I’ve given up on any possibility of the two ever finding common ground because they don’t seek a common language. Especially when one suffers from absolute semantic blindness.

When the truth is too horrible to acknowledge, then it becomes very easy to believe in a series of lies instead. If the truth is that our leaders are really monsters, who have purposely manufactured a planned genocidal world war, in order to preserve America’s fading position in the world, then the truth becomes almost impossible to believe.

Try and have a reasonable argument with that.

It is difficult to believe, but there are some people who were shocked to learn that White House spokesmen issued 935 documented falsehoods to lie us into the Iraq war. This says nothing of the far greater number of lies told to create the “war on terror” itself. If it wasn’t for the flowing river of lies known as the “US Government,” we would not now be staring down the barrel of the nuclear gun at another innocent Muslim country.

Yeah. You read that right. Here’s the ‘innocent Muslim country’ I assume he’s referring to.

In a bid to clamp down even harder on information disseminated through the Internet, Iran’s hardliner government has demanded the registration of all websites and weblogs sourced in the country by Mar. 1, drawing objections from many Iranian bloggers who say the move clearly violates free speech. A committee of government officials, including members of the intelligence, judiciary, telecommunications, and culture and Islamic guidance ministries, will be in charge of approving the content of websites. The committee is commissioned with blocking or filtring websites or weblogs that they deem illegal.Over the last few years, the government has banned and filtred thousands of websites and weblogs without explanation. However, for the first time, the new law is specific about what kinds of content are not allowed.

Website and weblog registrars must also provide personal information about themselves. Bloggers or website managers who fail to do so risk being shut down, penalised and if the case ends up in court, the accused may find themselves in prison.

And this.

Mahmoud Ahmedinejad, the President of Iran, has expressed this on many occasions, saying flatly that “the annihilation of the Zionist regime will come.” He has affirmed that “the Islamic umma (community) will not allow its historic enemy [Israel] to live in its heartland.” Israel’s end is near: “There is no doubt that the new wave [of attacks] in Palestine will soon wipe off this disgraceful blot [Israel] from the face of the Islamic world.” America’s, too: “The accomplishment of a world without America and Israel is both possible and feasible.”

It comes down to us against them and who could wield the must power to force an agenda upon the other. That’s what passes for political discourse in our country today.

Storm Track Appeasement: The Fundamental Errors of Liberalism

Over at Renew America, Dennis Campbell mused about the two fatal errors of Liberalism. The misunderstanding of human nature and the inability to learn from history.

The record is long and disgusting on how Liberals can not learn from history always thinking that this particular problem with a particular tyrant or social issue is different this time. Or in other words, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing’s over and over expecting different results.

But what about human nature? Where’s the error in their ways with that?

The answer lies in that catchword Liberals love to use. PROGRESSIVE. That means we should all strive to reach an ideal, a perfect world – defined by the Liberal. And while we’re at it, create by hook or by crook – particularly through legislation – the perfect human.

Liberals are always chasing the fantasy of human perfectibility, which influences so many aspects of their policies.

Liberals believe that if we give a powerful central government enough resources and authority, wielded by intelligent people of good will, virtually all problems and endeavors of human society can have happy outcomes — poverty, education, racial disharmony, crime, affordable housing, universal health care.

Conservatives, on the other hand, recognize that government is composed of enormously fallible people, weak and prone to doing things in their own interest, and not in the interest of others. The larger the government, the more these problems are magnified.

These lessons are never absorbed by liberals, it seems. They remain convinced that negotiation and appeasement will win over despots and savages. This leads them to a fatal conclusion regarding Islam: That we can appease and negotiate our way to a peaceful outcome with what may be the most violent religion in the world, indeed, in history.

Liberals should take heed to an old Irish proverb. “Lord, give me the knowledge of the things I can change and the courage to accept the things I can’t - and the wisdom to know the difference.’

Things happen in history because they are ready to happen. This is a hard thing to accept sometimes. But even though the ideas of freedom, democracy, the belief in one God, were thought of long before they were accepted and dominant in the world, they could not be accepted until the time was right. We were taught in school about ecology - how we are all interconnected to the natural world and the natural world is interconnected with us. Well, there is another kind of ecology - the ecology of ideas.

Take the dinosaurs. They were the rulers of the earth for hundreds of millions of years. Our distant ancestors - the mammals - were nothing but little warm blooded shrews hiding in the underbrush waiting for their time in the sun. As long as the dinosaurs ruled, we would have to wait our turn on the evolutionary stage. But one day the ecology changed. The environment turned against the dinosaurs and they became extinct. This gave our ancestors the chance to evolve and become what we are today.

Ideas act in the same manner. Though many ideas exist, only a few achieve dominance because they adapt best to the environment. Take democracy for example. The Greek culture had it long before the Roman Empire came into being. And yet, it didn’t have a chance to evolve until almost two thousand years later. The environment of ideas would not support it. What I’m saying is that you can’t force history. World peace is a great idea but you can’t have it until everyone’s needs that prevent peace from happening are met worldwide.

Your can’t have a universal human ideal until everyone can attain that ideal. And you can’t have a perfect game until there are perfect people. And, I’m sorry to say, that ain’t gonna happen. Perfect people is and illusion just likes Utopia.

Utopia is a direction not a destination. It can never be reached as long as we have imperfect people. And imperfect people are a good thing to have. If you attempt to remove all the ‘undesirable’ aspects of a human being you will find that they are connected to human desirable aspects. I’m reminded of the Star Trek episode, The Enemy Within, when Kirk’s personality was split in two – the ‘good side’ and the ‘bad side’.

Kirk is split into two alter-egos, the evil one (hostility, lust, violence) of which arrives unnoticed a few minutes after the good Kirk (compassion, love, tenderness) after the crew has left the transporter room. It is quickly surmised that neither Kirk can survive for long in his separated state.

It is a philosophical exploration of the complex duality of man and an illustration of how his good and evil sides taken together define his very being.

The 'good' Kirk, doesn't have any real resolve as a leader until he is rejoined with his bad elements.

The desirable and undesirable parts of our personalities, our very being, are two sides of the same coin. We need both to function as rational beings. Remove one or the other and we either are left feeble and indecisive or barbaric and feral.

It’s best that the Progressives in their quest to create the perfect human being leave well enough alone for they tamper with the very basics of human nature. The answer is not elimination of our ‘bad’ side but the integration of it.

Storm Track Infiltration: Islamic Prayer Tower Rises Over St. Louis

We have problems right here in River City – eh, South St. Louis, that is. That’s right; St. Louis has joined the ranks of Bern, Switzerland and smack in the center of America’s heartland rises an Islamic prayer tower that will blast through its loud speakers, several times a day, calling the Muslim faithful to prayer. Hat tip to Weasel Zipper.

In the last decade 50,000 Bosnians have moved to St. Louis and many to the South City Bevo Mill neighborhood. St. Louis today is thought to hold the largest Bosnian population in the nation. So to make the local Bosnians feel more at home the local Islamic Center is putting up a prayer tower in the formerly Dutch and currently Bosniak neighborhood of Bevo Mill, according to blogger Republican Riot. From this tower the call to prayer is to be broadcast several times a day.

Those calls to prayers ought to go over really well with the people of this South St. Louis neighborhood.

The imam says there will be no loud speakers on the minaret at this time.

Or at least until the uproar subsides and Americans go back to watching American Idol.

Storm Track Infiltration: The Munich Conference – Back to the Future

With the winds of war on their doorstep, the mounting squalls of the coming war are met with complacency in Europe.

First we have the recent Munich Conference. It’s indicative that they would pick the very symbol of appeasement to hold a conference on terrorism. Christopher Ruddy attended the Munich Conference on Security Policy, held in Munich, Germany. What he learned was how feeble European security policy really was.

Today, Europe appears to have a mindset of accommodation and complacency. Appeasement might be too strong of a word, since there is no Hitler-like figure marching through European capitals to acquiesce to.

The failure of NATO to back the mission in Afghanistan drew a strong rebuke from U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who called Islamic terror a “cancer” that will “metastasize” if it isn’t aggressively attacked.

"I am concerned that many people on this continent may not comprehend the magnitude of the direct threat to European security," he told the European leaders. Gates noted that numerous terror plots aimed at European targets had been thwarted, partly thanks to U.S. efforts to combat terror cells abroad.

Gates also suggested the stakes are extremely high.

"Imagine if Islamic terrorists had managed to strike your capitals on the same scale as they struck in New York," he said. "Imagine if they had laid their hands on weapons and materials with even greater destructive capability . . . We forget at our peril that the ambition of Islamic extremists is limited only by opportunity."

European reactions are eerily reminiscent of a naive appeaser with an umbrella who flew to Munich in 1938 -- a journey that led to 60 million deaths in World War II.

So where is terrorism on the list of top priorities for the pundits in Europe? Not very high if you believe Jackart. He questions if terrorism really matters.

Yes. Especially if you're sitting next to Hasib Hussein on the No. 30 bus, but in the grand scheme of things; no. Terrorism does not pose an existential threat to this country, or our way of life. There simply aren't enough suicidal maniacs, even if the bombers always got through.

I wonder if he would change his tune if he actually sitting next to Hussein on bus No. 30. That’s how liberals think. The old saw still applies. A conservative is a liberas who was mugged.

Terrorism simply isn't a risk we need get worked up about. The Government's response, however does pose an existential threat to the way of life in the UK.

Hey! It’s OK to risk our lives for terrorism but don’t do a thing to protect me from it.

Meanwhile Britain continues to gut its society as multiculturalism makes Britain a soft touch.

Britain has become a soft touch for terrorists, leading defence experts warn today.

The world-renowned Royal United Services Institute has delivered an unprecedented attack on the Government's security policy.

It warns that a failure to "lay down the line" to immigrant populations is undermining the fight against domestic extremism.

It condemns the country's "fragmented" national identity and obsession with multiculturalism.

And it goes on.

First, the UK government has decided that terrorism by Muslims in the name of Islam is actually unrelated to Islam, or is even anti-Islamic. This notion took root in 2006 when the Foreign Office, afraid that the term “war on terror” would inflame British Muslims, sought language that upholds “shared values as a means to counter terrorists.”

By early 2007, the European Union issued a classified handbook that banned jihad, Islamic, and fundamentalist in reference to terrorism, offering instead some “non-offensive” phrases.

Last summer, Prime Minister Gordon Brown prohibited his ministers from using the word Muslim in connection with terrorism.

In January, Home Secretary Jacqui Smith went further, actually describing terrorism as “anti-Islamic.”

And last week the Home Office completed the obfuscation by issuing a counter-terrorism phrasebook that instructs civil servants to refer only to violent extremism and criminal murderers, not Islamist extremism and jihadi-fundamentalists.

Second, and again culminating several years of evolution, the British government now recognizes polygamous marriages. It changed the rules in the “Tax Credits (Polygamous Marriages) Regulations 2003“: previously, only one wife could inherit assets tax-free from a deceased husband; this legislation permits multiple wives to inherit tax-free, so long as the marriage had been contracted where polygamy is legal, as in Nigeria, Pakistan, or India.

In a related matter, the Department for Work and Pensions began issuing extra payments to harems for such benefits as jobseeker allowances, housing subventions, and council tax relief. Last week came news that, after a year-long review, four government departments (Work and Pensions, Treasury, Revenue and Customs, Home Office) concluded that formal recognition of polygamy is “the best possible” option for Her Majesty’s Government.

And finally, “a Dutch justice minister announced that “if two-thirds of the Dutch population should want to introduce the Shari‘a tomorrow, then the possibility should exist.”

Quo Vadis, Britain?

Storm Track Infiltration: We Are Already Living as Dhimmis

Europe is willingly on the path to dhimmitude but America is not far behind for we are already living the Three Laws of Islam.

The First Law of Islam: Thou Shalt Not Criticize Islam.

The laws beyond that will follow. Since this special status of Islam leaves all other religions unprotected, Islam already has a superior status to other religions while other religions have an inferior status to Islam. With the first law in place, WE ARE ALL ALREADY DHIMMIS.

The Second Law of Islam: Islam is Superior to All Other Beliefs

Islam may be propagandized in schools while Judaism or Christianity may not. Muslims may pray in schools, members of other religions may not. Muslim holy books are treated as holy, while the holy books of other religions are treated as myth. The violence of other religions is condemned, while the violence of Islam is covered up. This leads us to Islam's second law, Islam Is Superior To All Other Beliefs. By giving exclusive status to Islam, we have already implemented this as well.

The Third Law of Islam: You Will Obey Us

By giving in to Islamic rage, we have already set the pattern of functioning as Dhimmis, of responding to Muslim tantrums with appeasement. The pattern continues from there with Muslims in public life enforcing their religious laws on everyone else. Muslim taxi drivers are already doing this by refusing to carry passengers who carry alcohol, seeing eye dogs for the blind and Muslim cashiers are refusing to handle pork.

Think about these laws next time you hear that a Muslim is oppressed, CAIR complain and the ACLU defend those that will bring down our culture.

Here’s another reason why we are already on the road to dhimmitude unless we wake up in this country.

• Ignorance of the severity of the Islamic threat. There are several levels of ignorance. The first is misinformation about the nature of Islam. My perception is that currently most people in the US have bought into the idea that Islam is a “religion of peace.” If you get nothing else, get this: That is a construct of western appeasement thinking. Islam doesn’t claim that for itself. The more closely Islam’s adherents get to the Koran, Mohammed and the Hadiths, the more they become convinced of the words of Mohammed to “fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah” (Qur’an 8:39) In essence, the more “truly Muslim” you are, the more insidious your thinking becomes about non-Muslims in your proximity.
• Not recognizing that, worldwide, nearly all Muslims consider themselves to constantly be engaged in a war of defense. That is how they justify all terror acts against non-Muslims; directly or indirectly, they believe the Western world are aggressors against them, they are merely acting in defense of Islam.
• Not seeing the magnitude of the Islamic threat. I have read that only 20% of Islam’s adherents are “radical.” Even if that is so, then that means there are more than two hundred million people who would enjoy seeing you submit to Islam by any means. Or they will rejoice over your death, which means one more of the Great Satan’s spawn has been snuffed out.
  

Now here’s a shocker.

Here’s one last crazy example of those who don’t get the magnitude of the Islamic threat: On February 5, 2008 a news item from the UK’s “The Independent” stated that Britain will be building the Taliban a training camp in Afghanistan! Read that one more time. The idea is that the British will get them to come over to their side!

Absolutely nutz!!!

About 60 years ago, the start of the modern Jihadist movement, Sayyid Qutb said, of all the social and political ill’s he saw, “Islam is the answer.” It is not. Truth is the answer, and it’s finally getting out there. The way the jihadist weeds will wither is when a heavy dose of truth is liberally spread everywhere. The only reason for apathy is that people either a) don’t have a reason to live in the first place, or b) don’t get it. That’s why I’m here. That’s why ACT, JihadWatch, and numerous other champions of truth exist. We are the “Paul Revere” of our day. Now that Islam’s Jihadists have come by land and sea, will we splash water on our face, arm ourselves with Truth, and stand up to them?

“We’ve got the fertilizer of truth upon which freedom grows. Let’s continue to spread it around.”

Excellent advice.

Storm Track Intimidation: UK Sending Wrong Message? I Don’t Think So

Do you invite someone into your country to speak to a dissatisfied population who justifies acts of terrorism or express views that could foster inter-community violence, and that it did not matter if women and children were the victims of suicide attacks and called for the destruction of the State of Israel, or call for the death penalty for homosexuality and preach that husbands should beat "disobedient" wives?

Not in a civilized society, at least. But Muslims in the UK think otherwise.

A government decision Thursday to ban a Qatar-based Muslim cleric who supports suicide bombings in Israel from entering the UK has been criticized by Muslim groups. Egyptian-born cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi wanted to come to the UK for medical treatment, but was refused entry.

Qaradawi has in the past visited the UK at the invitation of London Mayor Ken Livingstone, sparking protests from civil rights groups, the Jewish community and the gay and lesbian community.

In 2004, Qaradawi defended suicide attacks against Israelis. "It's not suicide, it is martyrdom in the name of God," he told the BBC.

Last week, Conservative Party leader David Cameron called for Qaradawi's exclusion from the UK, calling him a "dangerous and divisive preacher of hate."

The Muslim response? The usual. Ignore the facts. Play the victim.

Muhammad Abdul Bari, secretary-general of the Muslim Council of Britain, condemned the ban and said Qaradawi was respected as a scholar throughout the Muslim world. He said the Labor government had "bowed to Zionist and neo-con pressure."

That tells you a lot about the 'scholar' - doesn't it. Great credentials - no?

"It is regrettable that the government has finally given way to these unreasonable demands, spearheaded by the Conservative leader whose government had, in fact, allowed Dr. Qaradawi to visit the UK five times between 1995 and 1997," Bari said. He added that the decision would send the "wrong message to Muslims everywhere about the state of British society and culture."

No, Muhammad. It’s sending the right message and it’s high time the Brits start to defend their society and culture against dirt bags like Qaradawi. Just common sense.

The Paranoid Psychosis of Islam

I’ve written before on how and others feel that there is a virulent aspect to the religion of Islam that borders on psychosis. Shrinkwrapped wrote and article back in 2005 that dealt with this phenomenon as I have with posts here, here, here and here.

What does this have to do with the dangers we face from Islamic fascism?

First of all, it is clear that the Islamic fascists fit all the criteria for one or the other of the diagnoses of Paranoid Psychosis (which can include Paranoid Schizophrenia, Manic States with Paranoid Psychosis, Substance related Paranoid states, etc). When people believe that America or Israel or India set off the Indonesian tsunami, or that the Jews set off the bombings in Sharm el Sheik over the weekend, in order to justify an attack on Islam by the West, it is impossible to address this logically. This is delusional. When people believe that the Jews were behind 9/11 and that Osama bin Laden is a hero for striking at America, both at the same time, this is delusional beyond doubt. Delusions reveal themselves by their lack of supporting evidence in reality and by their invulnerability to logic and reason. Since both delusions, and many others, have been promulgated by various Islamist spokesmen, it is clear that there is something profoundly disturbed at the core of their psyches.

Secondly, the clear evidence of projection has been a staple of Islamists for many, many years. In sermon after sermon, the Islamists cite the Koran to justify killing the infidels and forcing the survivors who surrender into dhimmitude. When a non Muslim has the effrontery to object, the Islamists are shocked and amazed; they immediately turn around and attack the perpetrator for attacking Islam. CAIR and other groups have perfected this approach. Any hint of suspicion of the Islamist community by an outsider (the "other") is met with outrage and fury. In this country most often the form of their attack has been the lawsuit; in other countries it has included ritual execution and suicide bombing.

Let’s put it in layman’s language of what that means. Better yet, a picture is worth a thousand words.

This imam needs a Valium.

Storm Track Disinformation: Imam’s Invocation Call to Terrorism

We still haven’t learned. Get a moderate Imam to give an invocation and they either belittle the infidel or worse….

A Muslim imam's opening-day prayer at the Iowa Legislature has sparked controversy over statements he made. They're statements that at least one northwest Iowa lawmaker says are like a "terrorist call" to harm Americans.

It's a ritual Iowa state representatives follow every morning the convene in Des Moines. A daily prayer. But, it's this prayer that's caused some concern at the capitol. "I can't sit here while jihadist statements are made from the rostrum of the people's House of Iowa," said Rep. Gary Worthan, (R) Storm Lake.

Worthan said he was angered by one specific line in the prayer offered line by the Muslim Imam, that morning. NewsChannel Four cameras were there... and captured it on tape. "You are the pardoner, supporter and protector; and give us victory over those that disbelieve," said Imam Muhammad Khan, Islamic Center of Des Moines. "Victory over disbelievers," Worthan said. "Disbelievers, non-believers are synonymous with infidels. The only way to have a victory over an infidel, or nonbeliever, is to convert them is Islam, or kill them."

The issue "came to a head", last week, when the lawmaker, who invited the Imam to offer the prayer, defended his choice of words following lots of calls and letters from concerned constituents.

Hey. Those are just the ignorant people. You know - the voters. What do they know? They haven’t been educated into subtleties of the religion of Peace.

Winds of War: “The Most Committed Wins”

In the movie, The Siege, which, by the way, was before 9-11 and had no trouble portraying terrorists as Muslims, the CIA agent told the FBI agent that in the war on terror, “The Most Committed Wins”.

Over at Sultan Knish, they pose a question.

Two men are locked in a single room. One has a knife and the other has a machine gun. One is determined to kill the other. Which one will walk out of that room alive?

The paradox of civilization is that superior force on the battlefield requires an industrial and intellectual culture capable of producing the technological innovations that make victory possible. Yet this is not a straight line progression, instead civilizations that use technology to create truly advanced and prosperous societies also hit what we might call Huxley's Peak, the point at which creature comforts and social decadence make the idea of force itself sublimely unattractive so that the very industrial and intellectual culture that creates a superior technological military also hamstrings it.

Now let's go back to the two men in the room.

One has a knife and one has a machine gun. One is determined to kill the other. Which one will walk out of that room alive? The answer is, the one who is determined to kill the other. A weapon is no good unless it is used. Using a weapon as a bluff only works once at most and it stops working if your opponent is willing to take the risk or knows you won't use it.

The nature of the world is two men in a room, one has a gun and one has a knife. The man with the gun insists on trying to reason with the man with the knife, to enlighten him and democratize him. The man with the knife meanwhile grins and creeps closer and takes a few swipes at him. In return the man with the gun threatens him, waves the gun around and occasionally takes a shot at him to warn him away, without really trying to hit him. Is it any real mystery who will emerge alive from this conflict?

More important than the ability to fight is the willingness to fight.

Remember how Indian Jones answered the question?

We have the weapons but do we have the will?

Winds of War: Muslims Attack the Purveyor of Love

Roses are red
Violets are blue
If you send me a Valentines’ card
I’ll sue

The ever-tolerant Muslim world is condemning Valentine’s Day. Kuwaiti lawmakers are looking to amend the country's legislation to prevent the celebration of Valentine's Day.

"We are now studying the necessary amendments that would ban celebrations contradicting Sharia (Islamic Law)," said parliamentarian Jamaan al-Hirbish, part of panel examining "alien phenomena" being embraced by Kuwaitis.

Alien phenomena? What’s next? Banning Bigfoot?

Despite its Western origins, Valentine's Day appears to have been embraced by Kuwaitis and red balloons can be found all over restaurants, flower shops and stores selling chocolates. Newspapers are filled with advertisements for jewelry and cakes in the shape of hearts.

A public show of affection? By Muslims? Oh, no, we can have that! Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia, Saudis are seeing red in the sale of roses. Protests against Valentine's Day celebrations are building up in the Gulf region with the Saudi Arabian moral police banning the sale of red roses.

Thawabet Al Umma, while condemning the Feb 14 celebration, has warned the media against misguiding Muslims “by glorifying such pagan celebrations”, according to a report in the Arab Times website.

“Such traditions are imported from the West, and people blindly follow them without looking into the good and bad aspects. Participating in such celebrations will tarnish the image of Islam,” it said in a statement.

Oh, God forbid that Muslims should show a little love towards each other.

“Valentine's Day corrupts and misguides the youths. The information ministers of all Muslim countries have the responsibility to ensure that this culture does not take root in their countries, as it can lead societies back to the pre-Islamic days of ignorance,” it was quoted as saying.

I won’t comment on the ignorance part. Use your opinion on who is more ignorant.

Earlier, the Saudi Gazette had reported that the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice had visited flower and gift shops in Riyadh last weekend and instructed them to remove all red items - from red roses and wrapping paper to boxes and teddy bears - from their shelves.

Damn!! It’s those teddy bears again! They must be stopped! They’re tarnishing the image of Islam and leading Muslims back to the pre-Islamic days of ignorance!

Sunday was the last day people could buy red roses in the conservative Islamic nation.

According to the report, every year, commission agents visit flower shops a couple of days before Feb 14 to issue warnings.

On the eve of Valentine's Day, they start their raids and confiscate any red items that are symbols of love, florists here said.

However, with the ban being imposed, black market prices of red roses have shot up.

Ah, wonderful capitalism.

“A single rose costs around 5-7 Saudi riyals (SR) but today the same rose costs SR10 a piece and the price will go up to SR20-30 on Valentine's Day,” another florist told the newspaper.

Stating that loyal customers place orders days and sometimes weeks before February 14, the florist said: “Sometimes we deliver the bouquets in the middle of the night or early morning, to avoid suspicion.”

Pssst. Hey buddy? Wanna buy a rose?

Meanwhile, in Kashmir….

A Kashmiri Islamic women's group Thursday raided restaurants to prevent young Muslim couples from meeting on Valentine's Day, an event it denounced by as "anti-Islamic."

"We have formed a number of squads to educate young couples that Valentine's Day is a Western conspiracy to involve Muslims in vulgar activities," said Nahida, a member of Dukhtaran-e-Millat, or Daughters of Faith, as she took part in a swoop on a restaurant in Srinagar.

The women's group, all covered from head-to-toe, did not encounter any resistance as couples patiently listened to them and left restaurants.

And in ‘moderate’ Indonesia…

Indonesia's highest Islamic council has declared Valentine's Day celebrations illegal, while a ban was issued by authorities in West Sumatra province on observances of the holiday in hotels and restaurants, local media reports said Thursday.

Ma'ruf Amien, chairman of the Indonesian Council of Ulemas (MUI), warned the country's Muslims the celebration of Valentine's Day is 'haram,' or prohibited by Islam.

Amien, who is also head of the council's commission of edicts, said the romantic holiday encouraged drunkenness and other types of immorality.

As for you infidels – spread a little love around today. Happy Valentine's Day!

Winds of War: Evangelicals Have Second Thoughts

Remember that letter the Muslim leaders sent to the Christian community that many Christian leaders rushed to accept. Well, some are having second thoughts.

Administrators from one of the most influential evangelical colleges in the country removed their names from a controversial letter addressed to Muslim leaders that some say compromises the Christian faith.

Wheaton College president Duane Litfin, provost Stanton Jones and chaplain Stephen Kellough decided to back away from the letter that they had originally endorsed along with nearly 300 Christian leaders in November in response to an October statement (”A Common Word Between Us and You”) from 138 Muslim scholars and clerics who called for interfaith cooperation for world peace.

Maybe the “let’s all just get along” crowd is getting the message. Muslims may just not be friends of Christians.

“I signed the statement because I am committed to the business of peace-making and neighbor-love,” Litfin stated on Friday in The Record, the student publication of Wheaton College. “I did not savor the document’s unnuanced apology section, but swallowed that in order to be a part of reaching out a hand to these Muslim leaders who had courageously taken the initiative.

Congratulations. Swallowing your beliefs is the first step towards dhimmitude.

The Christian-endorsed statement – which included such signatories as Rick Warren of Saddleback Church, Billy Hybels of Willow Creek Community Church, and Leith Anderson of the National Association of Evangelicals – urged for interfaith dialogue that would build relations and reshape the Christian and Islam communities. Christian leaders also asked for forgiveness of sins committed against Muslims in the Crusades and excesses of the war on terrors in the letter.

What bulls**t. Where’s the apology from the Muslim leaders for the deaths of Christians at the hands of Muslims now and in the past.

President Bush's repeated assertions about the peaceful nature of Islam were briefly interrupted when the State Department issued the annual report required by the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998. This year, as in the past, our Muslim-world partners in the coalition against terrorism were prominently featured among the most violent, most intolerant regimes in the world. Religious minorities are persecuted in over 20 states where Islam is the official or dominant religion. The million Christians who have fled the Muslim world in the past five years were hardly seeking sanctuary from the peaceful face of Islam.

With shocking regularity, human-rights groups report the death of Christians at the hands of Muslim militants in Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East.

Titled “Loving God and Neighbor Together: A Christian Response to a Common Word Between Us and You,” the statement emphasized the “absolutely central” commonality between both religions: love of God and love of neighbor.

The response drew sharp criticism from highly respected theologians R. Albert Mohler, Jr., president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, and John Piper, pastor at Bethlehem Baptist Church, and other Christian leaders.

Piper called the Christian document a “profound disappointment” in the way it was worded and was surprised that even some of his friends lent their support to the letter.

“What’s missing from this document is a clear statement about what Christianity really is and how we can come together to talk with Muslims from our unique, distinctive, biblical standpoint,” Piper said in a public statement last month.

He rejected the letter’s emphasis on the common ground of the love of God, arguing that the love of God for Christians is starkly different from that of Islam.

And Muslim clerics agree. They pray to a different god.

In a move that may hurt Malaysia’s multi-religious social fabric the government has announced that certain Arabic words like ‘Allah’ cannot be used in the literature, gospel and speeches of non-Muslims faiths.

"Only Muslims can use (the word) Allah. It's a Muslim word. It's from the Arabic language. We cannot let other religions use it because it will confuse people," deputy minister for internal security Johari Baharum told presspersons explaining the rationale for the decision.

Back to the Christian response.

The Rev. Canon Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, the director of the Institute for the Study of Islam and Christianity and a British Anglican, applauded the effort of the Muslim leaders in reaching out to Christian leaders to try to find common ground but he called the Christian response a “betrayal” and “sellout” of the Christian faith.

Following such criticism, Wheaton’s Litfin realized he “moved too quickly” to sign the statement in his eagerness to support its strengths, including peace-making.

Recognizing that the statement could have been written differently to avoid vagueness of the Christian faith, Litfin said he could not support a statement that speaks as if Quran’s Allah and the God of Christians are the same.

“I needed to back away,” he said regarding his retraction.

The man got religion at last.

Winds of War: More Pinhead Thinking on Terrorism

Here’s the latest excuse for educated professional Muslims to go out and blow themselves up. They’re frustrated with their jobs.

Sheez! Haven’t they heard of Career Builder?

A new British study has linked engineers and terrorism, saying such people are high achievers and often get sucked into radicalism out of frustration with their corrupt bureaucracies.

Diego Gambetta and Steffen Hertog of Oxford University collected data on 404 militants from 31 countries. Interestingly, engineering emerged as the most popular subject among the 178 militants known for having a principal academic focus.

A further break-up showed that 78 of them had pursued an engineering degree, 34 dealt with Islamic studies, 14 with medicine, and 12 with economics or business studies, says the Oxford University website.

The authors note that engineers tend to be high-achievers who rise by merit, which may make them more likely to be frustrated by their interactions with corrupt bureaucracies in the Middle East and North Africa and thus receptive to radical messages. In their recently published sociology paper, titled "Engineers of Jihad", the authors link terrorism to the "engineer's mindset".

Cut the crap. Haven’t you ever been frustrated with your job or job hunt? I can see it now. This on a Muslim resume.

REASON FOR LEAVING LAST JOB: Frustrated. Blew up my neighborhood marketplace.
