Remember, The Free Thinking Films Society is bringing Bruce Bawer in to Ottawa Canada to speak September 14th 2009. This is a fantastic opportunity. I hope people come out to hear him in droves and ask the tough questions and buy his new book ‘Surrender’. Bruce was one of the very first of the intellectuals to recognize the threat Islam posed to liberalism and democracy. Tickets are $15.00 at the door and available now at The Ottawa Folklore Center 1111 Bank St.

France responds to horror with lies. Speak no evil?
It would appear that France is attempting the same policy that fails in Holland of ‘Non Escalation’ where the media is told not to report certain real newsworthy events if it creates a politically incorrect view of the Netherlands especially if true.

Blackout: Violence in France
From the desk of Tiberge on Sat, 2009-07-18 11:20
The French Interior Ministry has issued orders to the prefects not to communicate to the media the crime statistics for the nights of July 13-15. The cartoon at the top shows Marianne, the woman symbolizing the French Republic, watching the “official” weather report, “More sun tomorrow” it says, as it pours outside. Le Monde has a long article about the news blackout:
[…] Only the figures for the night of July 13-14 were published: “Some 500 vehicles” were burned, the worst ever recorded for the eve of the national holiday. Despite repeated requests to the Interior Ministry, and the DGPN [similar to the FBI], no figures were forthcoming for the night of July 14-15. These orders have been strictly applied. The different prefectures contacted by Le Monde refused to respond, citing “ministerial instructions.” Regional news media reported the same problem. The daily La Provence issued an unofficial report that was much less favorable than 2008: 41 cars and a day-care center in Marseilles burned. […]
Other local papers describe the same problems. In Reims, the daily L’Union denounces the attitude of the authorities: “Yesterday morning, every journalist who came, even for the smallest piece of news, to the firemen, or gendarmes or police, heard the same answer: ‘No fires’. In fact, the truth is quite different. Some of those we questioned admitted under their breath: ‘We cannot say anything about the fires. We have received orders.” In Lyons, the daily Le Progrès reports the same blackout: “Orders not to speak on the radio were given to firemen, gendarmes and police.”In previous years the radio network Europe 1 had systematically called the prefectures to verify the official counts. On January 1, 2008, the DGPN reported 372 burnt cars for New Year’s Eve vs 746 reported by Europe 1. Finally the ministry of the interior admitted that there had been 878 fires. “Instructions” given to the prefectures henceforth forbid this type of verification.
Some bits of news have leaked through. An article at the conservative blog François Desouche (based on a report in the newspaper Le Parisien) describes the use of firecrackers against the police, in the suburb of Tremblay-en-France, department of Seine-Saint-Denis. This was the second time in a few weeks that police on patrol were drawn to a group of youths. Masked by their clothing they threw firecrackers and rocks at the police.
Also, in the city of Evry, four or five large packs of firecrackers were stolen by a group of hooded individuals who broke into the fair grounds thanks to the inadequate number of guards. Agnès Moutet-Lamy, the spokesman for the Socialist mayor made light of the event: “That can always happen. There’s nothing to worry about.” However, Jean-Charles Béraud, an expert in pyrotechnics, stated that firecrackers “can become a monstrously dangerous weapon. A mortar can be propelled 120 meters and create an explosion 80 meters in diameter. It can kill someone. Even one large firecracker can rip apart a hand.”
Using the daily La Provence as its source, another article at François Desouche relates the violence in Marseilles on the night of July 14: A fire ravaged 5 hectares close to residences.
Two helicopters pouring water on the fire and a fierce battle waged by the marine firemen were needed to bring the fire under control. A day-care center was partially burned. A row of cypress trees bordering a nursery school went up in smoke. One individual was arrested as he threw rockets on the marine firemen who had come to put out a trash can fire. Fires were set in the four corners of one neighborhood, while trash cans and cars burned in others, notably with the help of Molotov cocktails. While the firemen went on one call after the other, the police fell into what appears to be an ambush. Bullets were fired at them and diverse projectiles were thrown in their direction. One policeman was slightly injured by a rock. The anti-crime brigade arrested one individual in possession of a 22-caliber rifle.
David Horowitz tears Duke U a well deserved new orifice.
This is a bit old, 2007 I think. But if you have not seen it, get a drink and or a sandwich and settle down and watch this astonishing and daring lecture where Horowitz explains to Duke U what is wrong with it, and more courageously, who is wrong with it. I will post the Q&A session later today so check back for it, it is worth it. In the meantime enjoy this. I know it’s long but if only David had the time to go to all the universities especially perhaps Canadian ones and deliver this lecture exposing the various profs and their lack of credentials and not-so-hidden political agendas. This isn’t a speech so much as it is a spanking. A well deserved one.

The perfect companion film for this lecture would be the documentary ‘Indoctrinate U. I highly recommend this excellent film.

Africa Vs. The Arab World. Excellent article from Forbes
Why does Obama treat the two so differently?
Africa Vs. The Arab World

Why does Obama treat the two so differently?
 |
h/t Alex A
Speaking in Ghana on Saturday President Obama lectured Africans on local repression, corruption, brutality, good governance and accountability. The startling contrast to his June speech in Cairo was revealing. Stroking Muslim and Arab nations has become the hallmark of Obama’s foreign policy.
In Egypt, he chose not to utter the words “terrorism” or “genocide.” In Egypt, there was nothing “brutal” he could conjure up, no “corruption” and no “repression”.
In Ghana, with a 70% Christian population, he mentioned “good governance” seven times and added direct calls upon his audience to “make change from the bottom up.” He praised “people taking control of their destiny” and pressed “young people” to “hold your leaders accountable.”
He made no such calls for action by the people of Arab states–despite the fact that not a single Arab country is “free,” according to the latest Freedom House global survey.
Before the Muslim world Obama donned the role of apologist-in-chief. Over and over again his examples of shortfalls in the protection of rights and freedoms were American: the “prison at Guantanamo Bay,” “rules on charitable giving [that] have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation,” impediments to the “choice” of Muslim women to shroud their bodies.
Christian Africa was to be treated to no such self-flagellation. In a rare tongue-lashing for Africans from any American president, he chastised: “It’s easy to point fingers and to pin the blame of these problems on others. Yes, a colonial map that made little sense helped to breed conflict … But the West is not responsible for the destruction of the Zimbabwean economy … or wars in which children are enlisted as combatants … tribalism and patronage and nepotism … and … corruption.”
He might equally have said to the Arab and Muslim world: “It’s easy to scapegoat Israel and blame your problems on the presence of Jews–albeit on a fraction of 1% of the territory inhabited by the Arab world–but Israel is not responsible for poverty, illiteracy, torture, trafficking, slavery and oppression rampant across your countries.” But he did not.
In Ghana he pointed to specific heroes that had exposed human rights abuse, singling out by name a courageous investigative reporter. In Egypt, though journalists and bloggers are routinely threatened, jailed and worse, no such brave soul came to mind.
In a Christian African nation he said, “If we are honest, for far too many Africans, conflict is a part of life, as constant as the sun. There are wars over land and wars over resources. And it is still far too easy for those without conscience to manipulate whole communities into fighting among faiths and tribes.”
To the Arab and Muslim world he could have said: “Since the day of Israel’s birth Arab and Muslim countries have made conflict with Israel a part of life, warring over land and manipulating whole communities into fighting in the name of Islam to render the area Judenrein.” Continue Reading →
Michael Coren: ‘An Islamophobe is someone who is winning an argument about Islam with one of their friends…’
Not that we need one, but in this clip Coren finds guests who give brilliant examples of the kind of banal moral equivalence so common in western peoples. What I call, ‘intellectual slight of hand’ in as much as one guest here actually compares someone showing a picture of an aborted fetus with the London 7/7 bombers. This video clip might be called, ‘The anatomy of leftist sophistry.’ One might also find amusement that Coren does a show on the 7/7 bombings and the guest insists on distracting to the one act of Christian terrorism he can think of, McVeigh and Oklahoma. Interestingly Timothy loathed Christianity. But the attempt to distract from the literally thousands of terrorist attacks by mentioning the one that isn’t needs to be seen for what it is.
Political correctness, destroying freedom and western civilization since WW2
Thank you KitmanTV for finding and posting this Gem. This movie proves the old joke, “It’s not whether or not you are paranoid, it is whether or not you are paranoid enough.”

History distinguishes the genius from the paranoid.
I have recently come across a rather startling document listing a number of people who write under pseudonyms for the anti-jihad. This document, in fact, documents these people’s real names and approximate places of residence. It asks that certain governments disallow these individuals from being allowed entry to certain countries and it does so partially because these people make the claim that Europe is becoming so anti-freedom-of-speech that it is a cause for alarm.
To be clear, a public document has been created naming people, thereby putting their lives in danger, for the purpose of asking that they be forbidden from entering certain EU countries, as they make the claim that the EU is anti-freedom-of-speech and therefore a threat to Europe.
While I’m certain that the irony of this will be lost on the author of the published document to which I refer, this is not the point I wish to make. (I will not link to that document here as I do not wish to add to the damage the author has already done, nor do I wish to aid him in his cause.)
History is full of people who are considered larger-than-life for their ability to recognize a threat to freedom, liberty, and what is in the best interest of a given people, and to mobilize a defense against it. Winston Churchill comes to mind. He is by no means unique but is one of a dozen men which all nations and peoples have.
The refusal of the elite class to protect Western nations from Islamic terrorism is the biggest betrayal in history. It is rooted in the mindset that breeds the claim that “force is not an answer” to terrorism, that profiling is bad and open borders are good, that Islam is peaceful and the West is wicked. The upholders of such claims belong to the culture that has lost its bond with nature, history, and the supporting community. In the meantime, thanks to them, the quiet onslaught continues unabated, across the Straits of Gibraltar, through JFK and O’Hare, Heathrow and Schiphol. Far from enhancing diversity, it threatens to impose a numbing sameness and eradicate the identity of target-populations, to demolish their special character and uniqueness.
The above is the message that those people ‘outed’ in this document attempt to disseminate. It is also the message of us here at Vladtepesblog. We, the anti-jihad, in nearly all cases, in fact, seek to preserve classical liberalism. We are the real liberals. We believe in genuine diversity. This means fighting against Islam, which seeks to make a mono-culture. We believe in individualism over the State. This is why so many work so hard to endanger us. It was absolutely clear to the person who wrote the document of I write, that by giving the real names of well-known bloggers they were exposing them to potential danger at the hands of Muslims, as we have seen so many critics of Islam be murdered for it, or be forced to live their lives in near-prisons in order to avoid being murdered. The left stands for the State above the individual and sees Islam as its natural ally, using the language of guilt and political correctness, rather than facts and reason, which are anathema to the left today.
History ultimately will judge who are today’s geniuses and who are the small-minded, bigoted, or crazy. Silencing anyone and forbidding debate is the province of tyrants. This is an historical constant.

Barbara Kay: France liberals and the Burqa
Personally I believe that Barbara Kay is right and Sarkozy is wrong. Sarkozy is attacking the symptom and not the disease. By doing so, he risks driving underground the identifying marks of the disease, Much like finding a way to stop the plague from producing pustules would be, which nearly guarantees all will die of it. Islam must be made illegal exactly as Shintoism was in WW2. Just removing the freedom to wear what you want as a token move for women’s rights is frankly worse than doing nothing. At least if you do nothing eventually the public will get fed up and angry enough to actually do something in the absence of government action on the behalf of liberal values and indigenous Western peoples.
If sarkozy’s plan is effected, people won’t know who is seething with hatred and contempt for the nations they live in. Real racism may result as people start to suspect all South Asians or Arabs of harbouring anti French sentiments as opposed to those clearly Muslim irrespective of their ethnicity tribe or pigmentation level.

Barbara Kay, National Post Published: Monday, July 06, 2009
In his June speech in Cairo, U. S. President Barack Obama said that Westerners should “avoid dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear.” On the other hand, French President Nicolas Sarkozy says that burkas and niqabs, both of which cover the face, are a “debasement” of women and shouldn’t be permitted in France.
So who’s right?
Sarkozy, of course. France has done a lot of dumb things vis-a-vis the Arab world, but on the “cover” issue, which has nothing to do with women’s choices in clothing and everything to do with Islamist aggression, France got it right when it banned the wearing of hi-jabs in schools in 2004.
Post columnist Jonathan Kay took Obama’s side in the debate, arguing on June 23 that it is “part of the liberal tradition to wear what you want, pray how you want and generally conduct yourself as you please — providing you don’t harm others.”
Jonathan Kay wears what he wants, but if he wanted to wear nothing at all in public, our liberal tradition would not support that choice. Although not set down in legal codes, human beings in social groups are hard-wired to find a psychological comfort zone within a spectrum of decency. Full nudity is not accepted in any society at all.
At the other end of the spectrum is full coverage. Full nudity arouses discomfort because the naked human is seen as animal-like, and therefore less than human. Full coverage arouses discomfort because the wearer is depersonalized and therefore non-human as well. No rational human being chooses full nudity in the presence of strangers. No woman, left to her own devices, would ever choose to wear a burka. Continue Reading →
Wall Street Journal: Supreme court makes non racist decision!
Either you are racist or you are not. You do not get to say that you oppose racism then make all your policies to advantage and disadvantage on the basis of race over merit. It sickens me that the topic I wrote above is newsworthy. That a court actually elected not to be racist. for a change.

The Opinionator does a good peice on media multistandards
Media Ignores Muslim Councillor Sons’ Violent HATE Attack Against British Couple: The Opinionator
Undoubtedly anyone who reads or watches the news KNOWS that if a NON muslim person were to get into any type of physical or verbal altercation with a muslim the media, politicians, police, etc etc would immediately rush to label the person “racist” and condemn the actions as a race hate attack – or an example of (the Myth of) Islamophobia.
Yet – the past has shown that when muslims attack non-muslims and the attack is obviously race motivated- Kuffarophobic (even if it occurs on the same street as the most despicable race hate crime in Scotland – the muslim gang torture and murder of 15 yr. old schoolboy Kriss Donald) – the media, etc are MUM or downplay the FACTS.
Factually just who are the largest group to be the victims of serious hate crime in the UK?
“Nearly half of all victims of racially motivated murders in the last decade have been white, according to official figures released by the Home Office. …. The disclosure will add to the intense debate over multiculturalism in British society. The figures also overturn the assumption that almost all racial murders are committed against ethnic minority victims.”
“……Senior police officers have admitted that ‘political correctness’ and the fear of discussing the issue have meant that race crime against white people goes under-reported. One chief constable has claimed that white, working-class men are more alienated than the Muslim community.” LINK
This is clearly the case with the below vicious and physically damaging muslim Street Jihadist gang attack which included Waqar Mohammed Younis, 20, and his brother Khawar Younis, 17. These young men, along with their thug pals, brutally beat Lianne Clayton,18 and James Ryder, also 18 – in an unprovoked attack.
According to Miss Clayton:
“Me and James were walking down the street, when a red jeep pulled up next to us and eight lads jumped out. The next thing I knew they were circling us and hitting James. I tried to pull them off him, but then I just remember being pushed back and being punched in the face, I think I was knocked out because when I woke up I was on the floor.”
Besides a huge and embarrassing gap in her front teeth, Lianne Clayton is left frightened and tramatised.
Lianne Clayton shows the gap in her teeth following the attack
While Miss Clayton and Mr. Ryder were recovering from their injuries, Waqar and Khawar Younis were busy canvassing the streets for their County Councillor father – Mohammed Younis..
“I am relieved they have pleaded guilty and that I don’t have to give evidence in court. Even seeing them in the waiting room with my family around, left me in tears and fearful. Every time I see a red car I freeze. I saw them earlier this month canvassing for their dad who has just been elected and I literally turned round and ran home.”
Apparently it also helps to quell the press when you father is a recently elected Lancashire County Councillor.

Miss Clayton’s further statement sums it up:
“They shouldn’t be allowed to help with an election when they can be so violent. They have never apologised.” Continue Reading →

Muslim prisoners demand separate cells from Infidels
Of course Britain was only to happy to appease these Muslim criminals.
I am a British citizen and quite embarrassed at the weakness of my countrymen and the government it employs.
the daily mail-A prison has agreed to give Muslims their own cells after they complained about sharing with other inmates.They were said to be unhappy at praying and eating near non-Muslims at Birmingham’s Winson Green jail.It is thought to be the first time inmates have been segregated by religion. Prison bosses have decided to place them with other Muslims, or give them single cells when space is available.
More than 1,400 inmates, including murderers and robbers, are housed at the jail.
‘So far around 15 Muslim inmates have been accommodated either by being moved to a cell with another Muslim or put on their own,’ said a prison source. ‘They initially asked for their own wing but this was turned down.’
In June 2006, a High Court judge warned that Ministers must find cash to cope with growing prison numbers and called for an end to forced cell sharing. Mr Justice Keith’s concerns were included in his report into the racist murder of Asian prisoner Zahid Mubarek by his cellmate Robert Stewart at Feltham Young Offenders’ Institution in West London.
The judge called for a new concept of ‘institutional religious intolerance’ to combat prejudice against Muslim inmates.
There has also been concern among the 200-strong Muslim contingent in Winson Green about the halal meat served there. It had been prepared on site but, after complaints, is now brought in by an authorised supplier at what is thought to be extra cost.
One prison officer said: ‘This has caused resentment because it is felt the Muslim inmates are getting special treatment.’
A Prison Service spokesman said: ‘Prisoner requests to share cells can be accommodated in some circumstances, such as prisoners sharing religious and dietary needs. All requests are subject to a risk assessment.’
About ten per cent of the 80,000-strong jail population in England and Wales is Muslim.
The Crusades, Spain and the Moors, truth and fiction.
ControlGFK thank you very much for sending me these videos. Your emails are much appreciated.
Jdamn thank you for making the vids into one play list.
I am a huge fan of Robert Spencer, an intelectual and a scholar who is meticulous and unimpeachable. Spencer and Christopher Hitchens are perhaps the two great intelectual giants of our day.
There are several good articles here on Vlad about the much misunderstood facts of the Crusades. Please use the search feature on the sidebar to check them. I believe they are well researched and worth reading and understanding. Its a true pleasure to have Spencer in video form adding to this cannon of information.
Please enjoy these videos detailing important facts of history which play heavily into modern policies.
