The Ottoman Empire Reborn

Posted on by

by Baron Bodissey

Much public concern about Islam is focused — with good reason — on Iran, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia. Turkey, however, is an Islamic dark horse. We tend to think of it as Western, secular, and not a threat, but this is a mistake. It is dangerous not just because it has poured millions of unassimilated immigrants into Western Europe (and Milli Görüs along with them), but also because it is a member of NATO with a population that is relatively well-educated and in the midst of an Islamic revival.

Part of that revival involves the dream of a new Caliphate in the form of an Ottoman Empire upgraded for the 21st century. With the OIC — headed by a Turk, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu — gathering the Ummah together, the nascent Caliphate is ready to burst forth.

Turkish prime minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has obvious ambitions to become the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire reborn. He and Mr. Ihsanoglu may have to duke it out to decide which one is to assume the throne of the Caliph.

Recep Tayyip Erdogan: The New Ottoman Empire
Erdogan: “We Are Now the World Power Turkey”

by Michael Stürzenberger and Eckhardt Kiwitt

It is an eerie scene with great symbolic power: the Turkish leader stands on a stage in front of a large world map from which sprouts an oversized tree with the Turkish flag. Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan invited politicians of Turkish descent from all of Europe to this “world congress” in Istanbul, to initiate them into his policies. And these seem to be directed toward a new Ottoman Empire.

Original pictures of this incendiary event were “controversially” published in BR magazine. The reporter tells us that great-power-politics was being practiced here, with the motto: “Turks of all lands, unite.” With perfect seriousness, Erdogan said: “We are now the world power Turkey. Everyone should know that. Turkey is no longer a country whose agenda is set from outside, but a country that sets the agenda in the world.”

Eyewitness Ali Ertan Toprak, vice-president of the Alevite community of Germany, reported that the 1500-2000 politicians present were urged to “inoculate” the European culture with the Turkish in order to “Turkicise” these countries. Video follows [see the PI post for the video].

Only one representative from Germany spoke — the deputy general secretary of Milli Görüs, Mustafa Yeneroglu. Is it really necessary to mention that this organization is being surveilled in Germany because of activities dangerous to democracy?

Erdogan made unmistakably clear that “Islamophobia” in his opinion is a “crime against humanity.” This pugnacious concept, created by Ayatollah Khomeini, is intended to strangle Islam criticism in its cradle. An important element of Erdogan’s overall strategy of reaching out from Turkey to Islamize and Turkicize Germany. The deeply devout Erdogan may with assurance be defined as a fundamentalist. As a youth, he was a member of the radical Islamic organization Akincilar Dernegi. Erdogan is considered a political foster son Necmettin Erbakans and also belonged to the Milli Görüs movement. From 1994-1998, he was mayor of Istanbul and deputy chair of the Welfare Party RP, which was accused of being sympathetic to jihad and to the introduction of sharia. In 1998, this party was banned by the Turkish supreme court. Erdogan was banned for life from politics and sat in jail for ten months. The basis for the judgment was a speech with the legendary passage: “Democracy is only the train we board until we reach our goal. The mosques are our barracks, the minarets are our bayonets, the domes are our helmets, and the faithful are our soldiers.” Continue Reading →

ANOTHER UPPITY DHIMMI RUNS AFOUL OF ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM IN INDONESIA AGAIN…….

Posted on by
How dare a dhimmi question a Muslim. People intending to live in a Muslim country but are not acquainted with Islam, better think again. Remember folks, Indonesia is one of the often sited examples of a “moderate Muslim country”, and yet a Westerner who asks what kind of Muslims he’s dealing with, has to run for his life and then arrested by the police to in jail for his troubles.

Islam is a supremacist ideology and saying so, in spite of being called “insensitive” or an “Islamophobe”, is an act of common sense and a public service. That’s why Koran burning is a must, these Muslims believe that no one can dare criticize Islam or Muslims, especially the non-Muslim, like these two individuals in the article. Next time you hear something about a Koran burning, think about these two Westerners sitting in jail for insulting Islam and Muslims just because they had enough and spoke their minds. KGS

A Second Villa Trashed in Lombok after Alleged Insult to Islam

Lombok. A second foreigner residing on Lombok Island in Indonesia has found himself the object of local wrath for allegedly defiling Islam during the fasting month of Ramadan.
Locals from Sidemen village on Lombok’s main tourism area of Senggigi told the Jakarta Globe on Tuesday that hundreds of residents had attacked and wrecked a villa belonging to a German national and torched his motorcycle for blaspheming Islam.
Police identified the man as Stephen Alexander, 35, also known as Abu-Can Peter.
Mustan, a local, said Alexander discovered that a vandal had decapitated one of the statues in front of his villa on Monday evening and took the severed head to the home of village chief Amalsah.
“He came carrying the statue head and got angry at the village chief, accusing the villagers of damaging his statues.”
Alexander threatened to report the vandalism to the police if Amalsah could not find the vandal within two weeks, Mustan said.
He said villagers had just finished tarawih (evening prayers during Ramadan) and were insulted when Alexander demanded to know, “What kind of Muslims we were?”
“His words were deeply hurtful.”
As Alexander fled for the forest, the enraged villagers trashed the resident’s villa and burned his motorcycle.
Alexander, who has lived in the Lombok for ten years and is married to an Indonesian, only emerged from the forest when police arrived. They promptly arrested the expatriate and are holding him in protective custody at Senggigi Police headquarters.
Luke Gregory Lloyd, 64, meanwhile, is facing the prospect of six years in jail after he was charged with blaspheming Islam and immigration violations after disrupting a late-night Koran recital in a mosque near his house in Kuta, Lombok, on Aug. 22.
Police allege the American expatriate barged into the prayer session with his shoes on, unplugged a microphone and may have even assaulted one of the worshippers.
Lloyd, whose home was also trashed, denies the charges.

The crimewave that shames the world

It’s one of the last great taboos: the murder of at least 20,000 women a year in the name of ‘honour’. Nor is the problem confined to the Middle East: the contagion is spreading rapidly

By Robert Fisk

It is a tragedy, a horror, a crime against humanity. The details of the murders – of the women beheaded, burned to death, stoned to death, stabbed, electrocuted, strangled and buried alive for the "honour" of their families – are as barbaric as they are shameful. Many women's groups in the Middle East and South-west Asia suspect the victims are at least four times the United Nations' latest world figure of around 5,000 deaths a year. Most of the victims are young, many are teenagers, slaughtered under a vile tradition that goes back hundreds of years but which now spans half the globe.

A 10-month investigation by The Independent in Jordan, Pakistan, Egypt, Gaza and the West Bank has unearthed terrifying details of murder most foul. Men are also killed for "honour" and, despite its identification by journalists as a largely Muslim practice, Christian and Hindu communities have stooped to the same crimes. Indeed, the "honour" (or ird) of families, communities and tribes transcends religion and human mercy. But voluntary women's groups, human rights organisations, Amnesty International and news archives suggest that the slaughter of the innocent for "dishonouring" their families is increasing by the year.

Iraqi Kurds, Palestinians in Jordan, Pakistan and Turkey appear to be the worst offenders but media freedoms in these countries may over-compensate for the secrecy which surrounds "honour" killings in Egypt – which untruthfully claims there are none – and other Middle East nations in the Gulf and the Levant. But honour crimes long ago spread to Britain, Belgium, Russia and Canada and many other nations. Security authorities and courts across much of the Middle East have connived in reducing or abrogating prison sentences for the family murder of women, often classifying them as suicides to prevent prosecutions.

INTENDED KORAN BURNING CEREMONY CREATES BROUHAHA ABROAD

Posted on by

For the record, the Tundra Tabloids’ good friend and colleague, Vlad Tepes, made a video of his Koran burning, and if you’re not into the actual burning itself, the classical music being played is more than enough reason to watch the entire video. The entire brouhaha surrounding the burning of the Koran rests on the understanding that it’ll enrage the Muslim masses around the world, causing them to commit all kinds of violence and mayhem, even to the point of putting US troops in harms way.

The TT takes a different approach to the intended Koran burn, that it’s a thankless job that someone has to do, but do nonetheless. Those of us living in the free world, meaning Christians, Jews, Hindus, animists and atheists etc., refuse to be bound by the dictates of the Muslim and his inner mohamed, we simply refuse to have the yoke of dhimmitude placed upon our necks. It’s not an option. (continued below the vid)

No doubt that there are plenty of those outside the debate who think burning the Koran to be in bad taste, and they’re right, it is, however, it has to be done regardless of whether it’s both an act of bad taste and Muslims will riot. The Muslim must be forced to understand that people of other faiths and of no faith at all, will not submit to their whims, their prophet, and his book, they do not control their lives, and the more they push themselves upon the ideologically diverse, the more they will fight back, and yes, that means burning Korans, perhaps even by the truckloads.

There are even those within the anti-jihad movement who have come out against the Koran burning, and that’s their right, but the argumentation used against it doesn’t convince the TT. The argumentation being used by some against Terry Jones, the pastor of the Dove World Outreach Center in Florida, who organized International Burn a Quran Day for September 11, is that by doing so, it will cause others to look badly upon on the Counterjihad movement, and use the burning against it.

Well who said being against the Islamization of the West is going to earn you the praise of the media and Islamic communities anyway? No, like the TT said, it’s an entirely thankless job, but necessary nonetheless, because nothing else will force the Muslim to take notice that the people of diverse beliefs and ideologies refuse to be shackled by Islam and its system of rules, sharia, and if it takes a drawing of Mohamed or burning of a Koran, so be it.

In a different world, the Tundra Tabloids would of course condemn the intentional giving of offense that such an act would bring, but we’re not living in a different world, we’re living in the present one where the highly radical ideology called Islam feels itself to be of great influential importance. We live in a world where the Organization of the Islamic Conference has exerted great pressure and influence within the UN, to try to make it a crime to speak critically of Islam.

We live in a world where Saudi and other ME state petrol dollars are busy funding mosques in the West that spread fundamentalist 7th century Islam, and buying loyalty for their agenda from federal, state and local politicians. Little by little Islamization whittles away at our basic freedoms, while the politicians speak of tolerance and societal cohesion, and hey, the TT is all for that, but only if the other side is doing so as well, but they’re not.

So for the record, the Tundra Tabloids -while emphasizing that if not for the extreme situation of the times- approves of Koran burning until Islam finally rejects the violent and anti-human rights components of the Koran, sharia, and the military jihad,  with visible changes in all their established seats of Islamic learning and being enforced by one fatwa after the other. Until all this takes place, Koran burning is not only logical, it’s a must. KGS

The Man Who Broke the Bank of England, Spent $24 million to Defeat George Bush, and Never Met a Left Wing-Cause he Didn’t Like

This is Pajamas media quoting Ezra Levant:

Meet George Schwartz, born in Hungary in 1930.  The distinguished Canadian journalist Ezra Levant has the story in the Ottawa Sun:

“George’s father Theodore tried to change the family’s fortunes by changing their name to something less Jewish-sounding. It didn’t help. And soon war came.

When the Nazis took total control of Hungary in 1944, the Holocaust followed. In two months, 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to death camps.

To survive, George, then a teenager, collaborated with the Nazis.

First he worked for the Judenrat. That was the Jewish council set up by the Nazis to do their dirty work for them. Instead of the Nazis rounding up Jews every day for the trains, they delegated that murderous task to Jews who were willing to do it to survive another day at the expense of their neighbours.”

After the war, George moved to London, and then to New York, where he became a wildly successful financier.  Forbes lists him as the 35th richest man in the world. You know George.  He goes by the name his father invented: Soros.

Italy: Minister is ‘not a mosque builder’

Italy: Minister is ‘not a mosque builder’

Milan, 6 Sept. (AKI) – Italy’s interior minister brushed off the possibility of his government helping Milan’s muslim community replace a mosque that was recently closed to keep the “public order.”

“I’m an interior minister, not a mosque builder,” Roberto Maroni (photo) told reporters on Sunday.

Following the recent closing of Milan’s biggest mosque, Milan’s archbishop Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi called for more tolerance from the city’s municipal government toward the Muslim community.

“Milan’s civic institutions must guarantee everybody the freedom of religion and the right to worship,” Tettamanzi told Italian newspaper La Repubblica in an interview published on Saturday.

Authorities in Milan couched the reason for recent closing of the city’s mosque as a security issue because its small size could not accommodate all the faithful during Friday prayers. Crowds every week would spill out on to the street.

“We’ve already solved the problem of the mosque,” Maroni said. “It was a problem of public order and we solved it.”

Maroni’s xenophobic Northern League party has been vocal in its opposition to mosques. Among its anti-Muslim moves was to parade a pig over land where a mosque was slated to be constructed.

Milan has 208,021 immigrants making up 16 percent of its population – more than double the national average of 6.5 percent, a Milan city council report said earlier this month.

US man nabbed for blasphemy in Indonesia

This is a few days old now, but as we have  new commentor here on Vlad who insists on pasting snippets out of context from the Old Testament and possibly the new in a futile attempt to mitigate the horror that is Islam on earth today I thought I would post this to see if there is an actual equivalent in the non-Muslim world.

Indonesian authorities have arrested an American man for blasphemy after he pulled the plug on a loudspeaker at a mosque because it woke him up, police say.

Luke Gregory Lloyd, 64, was taken into custody after he disrupted a nightly Koran reading session near his home on Lombok island which was being broadcast over the mosque’s loudspeaker during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.

The incident happened on August 22 and Lloyd has been under police guard at a hotel ever since, pending further investigations.

“He got angry as the Koranic reading woke him up. He scolded people in the mosque before pulling out the loudspeaker’s cable,” police officer Lalu Mahsun told reporters.

He could face five years in jail under the mainly Muslim country’s blasphemy laws.

KUHNER: President’s socialist takeover must be stopped

President Obama has engaged in numerous high crimes and misdemeanors. The Democratic majority in Congress is in peril as Americans reject his agenda. Yet more must be done: Mr. Obama should be impeached.

He is slowly – piece by painful piece – erecting a socialist dictatorship. We are not there – yet. But he is putting America on that dangerous path. He is undermining our constitutional system of checks and balances; subverting democratic procedures and the rule of law; presiding over a corrupt, gangster regime; and assaulting the very pillars of traditional capitalism. Like Venezuela’s leftist strongman, Hugo Chavez, Mr. Obama is bent on imposing a revolution from above – one that is polarizing America along racial, political and ideological lines. Mr. Obama is the most divisive president since Richard Nixon. His policies are Balkanizing the country. It’s time for him to go.

He has abused his office and violated his oath to uphold the Constitution. His health care overhaul was rammed through Congress. It was – and remains – opposed by a majority of the people. It could only be passed through bribery and political intimidation. The Louisiana Purchase, the Cornhusker Kickback, the $5 billion Medicaid set-aside for Florida Sen. Bill Nelson – taxpayer money was used as a virtual slush fund to buy swing votes. Moreover, the law is blatantly unconstitutional: The federal government does not have the right to coerce every citizen to purchase a good or service. This is not in the Constitution, and it represents an unprecedented expansion of power.

Yet Obamacare’s most pernicious aspect is its federal funding of abortion. Pro-lifers are now compelled to have their tax dollars used to subsidize insurance plans that allow for the murder of unborn children. This is more than state-sanctioned infanticide. It violates the conscience rights of religious citizens. Traditionalists – evangelicals, Catholics, Baptists, Muslims, Orthodox Jews – have been made complicit in an abomination that goes against their deepest religious values. As the law is implemented (as in Pennsylvania) the consequences of the abortion provisions will become increasingly apparent. The result will be a cultural civil war. Pro-lifers will become deeply alienated from society; among many, a secession of the heart is taking place.

Mr. Obama is waging a frontal assault on property rights. The BP oil spill is a case in point. BP clearly is responsible for the spill and its massive economic and environmental damage to the Gulf. There is a legal process for claims to be adjudicated, but Mr. Obama has behaved more like Mr. Chavez or Russia’s Vladimir Putin: He has bullied BP into setting up a $20 billion compensation fund administered by an Obama appointee. In other words, the assets of a private company are to be raided to serve a political agenda. Billions will be dispensed arbitrarily in compensation to oil-spill victims – much of it to Democratic constituents. This is cronyism and creeping authoritarianism.

Mr. Obama’s multicultural socialism seeks to eradicate traditional America. He has created a command-and-control health care system. He has essentially nationalized the big banks, the financial sector, the automakers and the student loan industry. He next wants to pass “cap-and-trade,” which would bring industry and manufacturing under the heel of big government. The state is intervening in every aspect of American life – beyond its constitutionally delegated bounds. Under Mr. Obama, the Constitution has become a meaningless scrap of paper.

To provide the shock troops for his socialist takeover, Mr. Obama calls for “comprehensive immigration reform” – granting amnesty to 12 million to 20 million illegal aliens. This would forge a permanent Democratic electoral majority. It would sound the death knell for our national sovereignty. Amnesty rewards lawlessness and criminal behavior; it signifies the surrender of our porous southern border to a massive illegal invasion. It means the death of American nationhood. We will no longer be a country, but the colony of a global socialist empire.

Rather than defending our homeland, Mr. Obama’s Justice Department has sued Arizona for its immigration law. He is siding with criminals against his fellow Americans. His actions desecrate his constitutional oath to protect U.S. citizens from enemies foreign and domestic. He is thus encouraging more illegal immigration as Washington refuses to protect our borders. Mr. Obama’s decision on this case is treasonous.

As president, he is supposed to respect the rule of law. Instead, his administration has dropped charges of voter intimidation against members of the New Black Panther Party. This was done even though their menacing behavior was caught on tape: men in military garb brandishing clubs and threatening whites at a polling site. A Justice Department lawyer intimately involved in the case, J. Christian Adams, resigned in protest. Mr. Adams says that under Mr. Obama, there is a new policy: Cases involving black defendants and white victims – no matter how much they cry for justice – are not to be prosecuted. This is more than institutionalized racism. It is an abrogation of civil rights laws. The Justice Department’s behavior is illegal. It poses a direct threat to the integrity of our democracy and the sanctity of our electoral process.

Corruption in the administration is rampant. Washington no longer has a government; rather, it has a gangster regime. The Chicago way has become the Washington way. Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel is a political hit man. He is an amoral, ruthless operator. It was Mr. Emanuel who reached out to Rep. Joe Sestak, Pennsylvania Democrat, offering a high-ranking job in the hopes of persuading Mr. Sestak to pull out of the primary against Sen. Arlen Specter. It was Mr. Emanuel who offered another government position to Andrew Romanoff to do the same in the Colorado Democratic Senate primary. And it was Mr. Emanuel – as the trial of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich has revealed – who acted as the go-between to try to have Valerie Jarrett parachuted into Mr. Obama’s former Senate seat. The only question was: What did Mr. Blagojevich want in exchange

New attempt at circumventing the anti-weapons blockade of Gaza: Flytilla of the Huns

Jihadi “aid activist”:

Now this is going to be interesting. This latest change in tactics points to the success of Israel’s and Egypt’s weapons blockade of Hamastan/Gaza. Remember folks, this has nothing to do with “aid” and everything to do with ensuring that Hamas has a steady supply of weaponry. While it may not be the aim for many of those useful stooges helping to break the blockade, in practice, they’re doing exactly that. KGS

US group says it plans to send plane to Gaza

BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) — A pro-Palestinian group based in the US will send a plane loaded with aid to the Gaza Strip in defiance of Israel’s air and sea blockade, an official said Sunday.
“We intend to send an aircraft to Gaza in much the same way boats were used — without going through Israeli or Egyptian airspace,” said Paul Larudee, an organizer with the California-based Free Palestine Movement sponsoring the flight.
Authorities in Gaza are supportive of the initiative and are working to locate a landing site, Larudee said. Gaza’s now-defunct Yasser Arafat International Airport is not being considered, he said.
In the meantime, Free Palestine Movement officials will look for a plane designed for rough landings and takeoffs such as those used in Alaska and other locales lacking proper aviation facilities, Larudee said. The plan is to send a light aircraft equipped with material sometime in the spring of 2011, after the next sea voyage.
“Breaking the blockade by air may be even more feasible than by sea. An aircraft cannot be boarded while in flight, and the right aircraft can land almost anywhere in Gaza,” a statement on the group’s website says.

Venezuela’s Jews turn to Chavez over state media’s anti-Semitism

Verbal, written attacks in Venezuelan media include hints that Jews are damaging the country’s economy, along the lines of the ‘The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.’

By Shlomo Papirblat

COSTA RICA – The increasingly anti-Semitic commentary in Venezuela’s state-sponsored media in recent days prompted the heads of the country’s Jewish community to request an urgent meeting with President Hugo Chavez last week. The presidential palace responded that their request would be granted.

The verbal and written attacks have included hints that the Jews are damaging the country’s economy and are following the notorious anti-Semitic fabrication “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion.” It is likely related to the rising tensions ahead of the country’s parliamentary elections, which are set for later this month.

“This anti-Semitism is troubling us all and it needs to cease immediately,” said David Bittan Obadia, deputy chairman of the Jewish community of Venezuela Friday. “We are not saying this is the government policy; however, [the government] is capable of putting a stop to the phenomenon. It has the tools. We will be very direct and adamant in the things we will tell President Chavez.” Continue Reading →
