Body bombs and surgical implants.

Posted on by

Here is one Michael Jackson didn’t have.

I added the short Enterprise clip. If any of you have access to it, watch the entire episode of The Chosen Realm from the Star Trek Enterprise series. One has to wonder, if they saw this, why can’t Obama and the people who invent and foist useless crap at us at airports? I wanted to add the clip right after this one where one of the ‘religious aliens’ blows himself up destroying a part of the ship right after this clip using a special detonator that makes the explosives in his blood go-boom but I can’t find that clip anywhere.

Terrorists ‘plan attack on Britain with bombs INSIDE their bodies’ to foil new airport scanners

Britain is facing a new Al Qaeda terror threat from suicide ‘body bombers’ with explosives surgically inserted inside them.

Until now, terrorists have attacked airlines, Underground trains and buses by secreting bombs in bags, shoes or underwear to avoid detection.

But an operation by MI5 has uncovered evidence that Al Qaeda is planning a new stage in its terror campaign by inserting ‘surgical bombs’ inside people for the first time.

New weapon: To avoid detection by airport body scanners (above), Al Qaeda are said to be planning to surgically insert explosives into suicide bombers’ bodies

Security services believe the move has been prompted by the recent introduction at airports of body scanners, which are designed to catch terrorists before they board flights. Continue Reading →

Ezra Levant: B’nai Brith and the ‘no terrorism Fatwa’

From Ezra Levant’s excellent website.

B’nai Brith exposes Syed Soharwardy as a bigot

By Ezra Levant on January 19, 2010 5:16 PM | Permalink | Comments (29)

I’ve criticized B’nai Brith before for their on-again, off-again support for Canada’s human rights commissions and their censorship laws. Here’s an example. Such support is odd, especially considering the fact that B’nai Brith itself was the target of a five-year censorship vendetta by Manitoba’s Human Rights Commission, spurred by a radical Muslim complainant.

Well last week, to my surprise, I was contacted by B’nai Brith to help them assess the propaganda “fatwa against terrorism” issued by a handful of Canadian Muslim clerics, including Calgary’s Syed Soharwardy.

I was happy to help reveal the true nature of Soharwrady. I documented for them not only Soharwardy’s public statements (his call for sharia law to be imposed in Canada; his slanderous allegation that Christian relief workers in the 2005 tsunami were kidnapping Muslim children) but also his virulently hateful websites. I pointed them to where Soharwardy repeated blood libels against the Jewish talmud, called for the annihilation of Israel, compared Israel to Nazis perpetrating a Holocaust and other statements. Besides having sifted through so much of Soharwardy’s crap on my own, I had also saved the vilest of Soharwardy’s website comments to my hard drive, knowing that my scrutiny would cause him to go back and scrub his sites of the most anti-Semitic material.

Anyways, to my delight, the B’nai Brith issued two press releases on the subject last Friday (here’s the first, here’s the second). Here is the text of them in full:

B’nai Brith Canada concerned about sincerity of Islamic fatwa against terrorism

TORONTO, January 15, 2010 – B’nai Brith Canada questions the wording and intent behind a fatwa against terrorism that was undersigned by a group of North American imams. The recently-issued fatwa, which states that “any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on the freedom of Canadian and American Muslims. Any attack on Canada and the United States is an attack on thousands of mosques across North America,” was spearheaded by Syed Soharwardy, the president of the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada (ISCC).

Soharwardy and his organization have a track record of disseminating antisemitic and anti-Western sentiment. Although a lot of the disturbing material has been removed from the ISCC’s website, thanks to the probing efforts of Ezra Levant, B’nai Brith was able to acquire archived copies of the offending articles and statements.

“The fact that this fatwa limits itself to terrorism in North America and predicates its anti-terror positions on the damaging effects of terrorism only on the Islamic community is quite concerning,” said Frank Dimant, B’nai Brith Canada’s Executive Vice President. “Is the fatwa implicitly saying that terrorism directed against India, Spain, the U.K., Israel, and Canadian forces in Afghanistan is somehow permissible?

“Syed Soharwardy is the imam whose complaint dragged Ezra Levant through the Alberta Human Rights Commission for publishing the Danish Mohammad cartoons in the Western Standard. We were disgusted when we read some of the virulent antisemitic and anti-Western ravings that were posted to his organization’s website – some trivialized the Holocaust, others prophesized the extinction of the Christian faith, and still others went so far as to speak of a ‘slaughter’ and ‘annihilation’ of Jews.

“What Canadians would truly like to see is for reputable imams within the Islamic community to stand up and denounce all acts of terrorism irrespective of where they occur and who the targets are. And if Imam Soharwardy wants his fatwa to be taken seriously, he needs to publicly reconcile it with the anti-Christian and antisemitic ravings that have appeared on his organization’s website.”

However, I would like to add a thing or two of my own. When the original marines signed a treaty with the Barbary pirates after defeating them (insufficiently in my opinion) that treaty contained prescribed methods of deciept commonly practiced in Islam. The text was different in Arabic and English, and the terms used, have different meanings in Islam (I used Islam as oppose to Arabic on purpose) than they do in English. I mention this because I guarantee you the clerics who signed the fatwa against terror carefully defined it for themselves in a way that does not contradict Koranic verses such as:

8:12 Asad: `I shall cast terror into the hearts of those who are bent on denying the truth; strike, then, their necks, [O believers,] and strike off every one of their finger-tips!” [15]

Or,

Bukhari (52:220) – Allah’s Apostle said… ‘I have been made victorious with terror’

In a pigskin, my point is that there was likely a little deception at least in the fatwa issued condeming terror ‘in North America’

A pounding at the door the other morning; my windows rattled. I was upstairs at work. I don’t always leave my desk to hear the good news about Jehovah.

The pounder was insistent. I went down, if only for the sake of the windows.

Oh, jeeze, the cops.

Officers Firth and Kozar in attendance. “What’s up, boys?” My preference was to talk to them through the plate glass door. They wanted to come inside.

Not a chance.

I stepped onto the porch. Who wants two armed strangers in his house, and anyway it was a nice morning.

Officer K. said, “Are you aware of Project Safe City?” I hate it when a guy answers a question with a question.

“Why do you want to know?”

Officer K. said, “We have reason to believe you have a firearm.” Oh, here we go again.

The last time a representative of the city showed up at my door, she had reason to believe I had a cat. How did she know? The lady cat cop peered through the window at my curtains and said, “Cat hair.”

I dislike being spied on.

I also dislike armed men at the door. And then Officer K. mispronounced my name and asked if I still worked for this newspaper.

Hmm. He’d clearly done some research on me, and I had none on him, nor was I sure why my place of employment was important. Continue Reading →

Jan 30 Toronto protest for the Copts

Some articles about the trial in NYC

Posted on by

It would appear that Obama has bowed to reality again and decided against having the trial of KSM in New York. I have to admire that. With a few more policy adjustments in the face of what is actually rational, Obama may look a lot like George W. at the end of the day. Meanwhile, here are a couple of rather interesting articles on why having this trial in New York is a bad idea, and what sort of people the detainees at Guantanamo really are.

First, from Michelle Malkin on the trial currently underway of an Al Queda suspect who is a microbiologist and was likely planning an attack on the US of a rather high magnitude, with the intention of doing as much harm and causing as much death as her skills as a graduate biologist could create.

Second, the personal story from the New York Post of a security guard at Guantanamo and how he was attacked and who resides there.

Osama Bin Laden on Global Warming and Chomsky

Posted on by

From The Daily Mail

Osama bin Laden blamed the United States and other industrialised countries for causing global warming in an extraordinary message issued yesterday.

In a departure from his usual religious rants, the Al Qaeda leader lectured on the dangers of climate change, claiming the only solution was to ‘bring the wheels of the American economy’ to a halt.

Rather than vows to inflict death and destruction on the U.S. and its allies, the man behind the September 11 atrocity in New York discussed the environmental future of the planet and monetary policy.

‘This is a message to the whole world about those who are causing climate change, whether deliberately or not, and what we should do about that,’ he declared.

He blamed Western industrialised nations for hunger, causing flooding and the destruction of fertile ground across the globe.

And he warned solutions must be ‘drastic’ rather than ‘partial’.

Although bin Laden has briefly referred to climate change and global warming in past messages, this fresh audiotape was his first dedicated to the topic.

The speech, which included almost no religious rhetoric, has been interpreted as an attempt by the terror leader to broaden the appeal of his message beyond Islamic militants. Continue Reading →

Lawrence Solomon: Keeping Canadian students in the dark on climate

Posted: January 30, 2010, 12:30 AM by NP Editor

As far as I know, no Canadian university has ever had a formal debate on climate change

By Lawrence Solomon

‘Climate change is natural. Spending time and money on the issue is largely a waste,” posited Steve Paikin, host of TV Ontario’s The Agenda, to his live studio audience at the University of Toronto’s Munk Centre for International Studies Thursday evening. Paikin’s statement to the students came in the middle of an hour-long debate on climate change in which I participated, along with four other panelists.
The statement, the first of three that Paikin posed to the university students, came from an earlier Leger public opinion poll, but unlike the results that Leger found (16% agreed with the statement), not a single student among the 80 in attendance raised a hand in agreement. Continue Reading →

Cracks in the Islamist Curtain: Frontpage interviews Noni Darwish

Posted on by

Frontpagemag

FP: Nonie Darwish, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

I would like to talk to you today a bit about the Muslim voices for change that are increasing through the Islamic world. There is an unprecedented defiance taking place behind the Islamic Curtain.

Can you tell us what is transpiring?

Darwish: As you know, Jamie, I lived for 30 years in the cocoon of the Muslim world and I can see a huge change going on inside the Muslim world. More and more people are challenging the status quo.

After 9/11 and with constant recurring explosive Islamic terrorism, it has become harder for the Muslim establishment to keep the lid on Muslims questioning their system, religion and holy wars. Criticism of Islam is coming at them from every direction, putting Muslim clerics in a quagmire unable to honestly answer questions. Muslim scholars were never trained to answer questions critical of Islam or engage in hostile debate. But now, suddenly, they are challenged to the core like never before, not by Western critics, but by brave hosts of Arabic language shows from unidentified locations in the West and hosted by former Muslims and/or Egyptian Christian Copts.

Father Zakareya Botros rocks the Arab world with his show “Howard Al Hak” or “Honest Debate” when callers from various parts of the Muslim world call in renouncing Islam. Former Muslim turned Christian, Rachid Hmami, originally from Morocco, has a popular show “Fil Samim”, or “from the core”. Hmami, who is the son of a Muslim cleric, is eloquent, respectful with a calm and peaceful demeanor — a characteristic in sharp contrast to the angry loud and cursing image of many Muslim clerics.

‘Terrorist’ Twitter Threatens Hugo Chavez’s Stranglehold on Media

Posted on by

 CLICK HERE FOR SLIDESHOW

FOXNEWS…The greatest threat to Hugo Chavez’s future just might be the World Wide Web.

Fierce and growing protests over media freedom have left at least two students dead in Venezuela, and graphic images depicting violent tactics employed by the police there have started to flood the Internet.

Police armed with tear gas and rubber bullets have left students bloodied and battered in Caracas and other cities during a week of protests over President Hugo Chavez’s tightening gag on the opposition press.

On Sunday, Chavez ordered five cable stations shut down for refusing to broadcast his frequent speeches, setting off nationwide demonstrations in a country already wracked by water shortages, electricity rationing, alarming crime rates and the plummeting value of its currency, the Bolivar.

Student protesters have organized their efforts by planning their demonstrations on Twitter, which is serving as both a public message-board for activists and a storing house for images of the worst of the violence.

Elsewhere online, more than 80,000 people have joined a Facebook group, “Chavez estas PONCHAO!” taunting the increasingly unpopular president with a slang term meaning “Chavez, you struck out.” 

Chavez has fought back by declaring that “using Twitter, the Internet (and) text messaging” to criticize or oppose his increasingly authoritarian regime “is terrorism,” a comment that recalls the looming threats of his allies in Iran, whose bloody crackdown on physical and electronic dissent may be blazing a trail for the Latin strongman. 

Venezuelan journalist Nelson Bocaranda told El Nuevo Herald that the government has launched an army of Twitter users to bring down online networks and try to infiltrate student groups. 

“They are scared by Twitter,” he told the paper, noting that Chavez fears that the social networking system will allow students to follow the model of Iran and spread their protests by coordinating them online. 

As the opposition seethes, Chavez has threatened a “radical” response to student activity, promising to “deepen the revolution” and “impose authority” wherever flashpoints occur. 

“There are some attempting to set fire to the country,” Chavez said in a televised address on Thursday. “What are they seeking? Death.”  Continue Reading →

Sudan, Slavery, and Islam.

Once again, KitmanTV has dug up a film on the facts on the ground in Sudan. So many people today make a living selling white guilt for slavery in the US and Europe that ended centuries ago while ignoring real, current, unabashed and unending slavery today in all the aspects one would imagine when it has to do with slavery. Below, Kitmans post as well as the video itself.

Between northern and southern Sudan thousands of women and children follow the slave trail back home. Their faces are turned to the ground and their bodies bare the signs of hard labour and hunger. A desparate story of lives of struggle.

Between northern and southern Sudan thousands of women and children follow the slave trail back home. Their faces are turned to the ground and their bodies bare the signs of hard labour and hunger. In Sudan people are still a commodity and slavery is a thriving business. This film takes us to one of the most remote countries in the world, widely seen as a pariah state in the West.

Judge jails Keighley men for total of 12 years

A gang of men involved in “atrocious” violent disorder with weapons on the streets of Keighley have been locked up for a total of more than 12 years.

The violence involved baseball bats, metal bars and cricket bats, Bradford Crown Court heard yesterday.

Mohammed Shabir, 26, of Clarendon Street, Knowle Park, Keighley, who admitted wounding with intent and violent disorder, was jailed for a total of four years and nine months.

Mohammed Junaid Miah, 21, of Acres Street, Knowle Park, received a three years and nine months sentence after admitting violent disorder, conspiracy to steal and money laundering.

Mohammed Habib Ullah, 22, of Malsis Road, Keighley, pleaded guilty to violent disorder and money laundering and was jailed for two and a half years, while Mohammed Kabir Bashir, 24, of Clarendon Street, who admitted violent disorder, was given 21 months in jail.

Judge Peter Benson said the disorder, which happened on March 24, 2008, in Queen’s Road, Keighley, occurred when at least 13 men travelled in vehicles to confront two other men.

The judge said the background to the incident was unclear. He said: “What is clear is that a number of these people were armed with weapons like baseball bats, bars and a cricket bat.

“A scene of atrocious disorder ensued, to such a level that passers-by were frightened to stop and intervene.”

Shabir had also been involved in a separate incident of disorder the previous month at the offices of a taxi firm at Keighley railway station. Again a group of men armed with bats and bars attacked the occupants, two of whom were treated for minor injuries. Shabir had thrown a wooden board at someone and £1,000 damage was caused.

Miah had been a participant in the “dreadful” disorder in March. He was also the “guiding hand” in a conspiracy to steal which led to his bank worker girlfriend being jailed. Continue Reading →

Geert Wilders may be Churchill in some ways, but perhaps more Galileo

Posted on by

This is not the first time a European has been brought to a stacked court to face charges of telling the truth about irrational religious authority. While many compare Wilders to Churchill for his stalwart stand against evil and tyranny even while his fellow countrymen courted it as politically correct to do so, perhaps a more accurate comparison, at least in terms of this trial, is the one of Galileo and the Church of Rome. Telling the truth about the machinery of the Solar System was a grave offence if it contradicted the official view of celestial mechanics as the Church insisted it had to be, to stay in accord with biblical analysis. So it is with Geert. Before I get a list of angry comments about the facts of Galileo’s inquisition, I agree that the story is misrepresented in the popular view. But certainly it was indeed an issue of freedom of speech in the face of powerful religious authority.

The trial of Geert is exactly that, even if the religious authority is using a proxy.
