The Battle of the Bulb

Posted on by

Totalitarianism comes in several flavours today. Religious and ‘environmental’. At the moment the environmental faction seems to be restricting individual liberties even faster than Muslims. I guess the good news is, once the Muslims have implemented the sharia, no one will give a damn what kind of lightbulbs you use.

From The Washington Times:

Liberty light

How Americans are allowed to light their homes is becoming the latest battleground over states rights. The Texas legislature has fired a broadside against a Federal law banning incandescent light bulbs. Under provisions in the 2007 “Energy Independence and Security Act,” traditional incandescent light bulbs will start to be phased out in January 2012, beginning with 100 watt bulbs. The purpose of the law is to promote more energy-efficient compact fluorescent bulbs by removing the competition. In the past Congress has banned products using public health, safety or welfare rationales, but the incandescent bulb is a proven, safe technology, more so than the bulbs that will replace it. So instead the Congress justified banning the bulbs under its power to regulate interstate commerce. But the Texas legislature has countered with a bill that allows continued manufacture and sale of incandescent bulbs within the state. Said Republican state representative George Lavender of Texarkana, “Let there be light.” As of this writing the bill is still awaiting signature from Governor Rick Perry. Continue Reading →

Dishing up some more tasty halal tidbits at the Valley Park Middle School Mosqueteria.

Posted on by

Regarding the excellent work over at Blazing Cat Fur: An Important Addition to the Mosqueteria Story, commenter Richard writes “ If the past decade were written in a novel no one would buy it since it’s too unbelievable”.

He’s right. But as I have discovered, this latest chapter in the Islamist best selling novel Establishing Primacy in Dar Al Harb must be bought as required reading, unbelievable as it is.

Today the Toronto Sun has published another article on the Valley Park Middle School make-shift mosque on Friday’s story. Muslim leader Alimamy Bangura, executive director of the Muslim Education Network insists that public schools have an obligation to ensure students can practice their faith. The schools may be secular he says, but the children who go to these schools are not. He continues ” the Valley Park Middle School’s weekly prayer sessions for Islamic students falls within Toronto District School Board guidelines” and refers to these guidelines which specify the need to “take responsible steps to provide accommodation to individual members of a religious group”.

Blazing Cat fur: An important addition to the Mosqueteria story

Posted on by

Check this post out at Blazing. As usual, the MSM appears to be failing us when it is a story we actually need to know. When Muslims and the establishment conspire to profoundly violate our core principles, that is when you can count on them to bury it at least 6 feet deep.

One question though. I wonder how they proposed to find out which women/girls were on their menses? I know Muslims don’t like dogs.

 

Toronto’s fourth Journey of Faith Conference. Where you too can find tolerance through Islam’s Revelations and Prophetic Traditions!

Posted on by

Written by Grace

As the Toronto Star makes a brief mention of the Journey of Faith conference in Toronto this weekend, Xtra!, Canada’s gay and lesbian news offers a more in depth look into the organizations promotion of ” the understanding of Islam through the Revelations and the Prophetic Traditions.

While hundreds of thousands will be celebrating Pride this weekend, down the street the Metro Toronto Convention Centre an Ontario Crown Corporation, will play host to the popular, annual religious conference. Last year’s Journey of Faith conference saw over 10,000 Muslims and a scattering of non-muslims in attendance, all eager to take in themany speeches of renowned Islamic scholars from around the world.

If you’re at all confused by Islam, are a non-muslim interested in learning more about the faith or ever wanted to see what Islam truly teaches and what its values and principles are, the organizers at Journey of Faith extend a special invitation just for you! Forget Gay Pride-this is the place to be. Admission is free for non-Muslims and all are welcome to bring the kids, enjoy the crafts bazzar, assorted treats and who knows- maybe you’ll be lucky enough to sheikh hands with some prominent speakers imported from abroad.

So take some diversity time before lunch on Saturday or break away on Sunday to learn more about the most ‘misunderstood religion on earth’. Get to know some scholars and what they preach. Unsure of what to see first? How about taking in Dr. Bilal Philip’s lecture entitled Emman Town. The Journey of Faith site describes it as:

“Imagine a city of Faith, teeming with religious conviction, compassion, and cooperation. Dr. Bilal Philips will impart the blueprint of Madeenatur-Rasool (the city of the Prophet) to help us transform our homes, Mosques, schools and entire societies into powerhouses of Emaan, gleaming with and spreading the light of Islam. Join Dr. Bilal for the communal change of a lifetime”.

This esteemed popular scholar, teacher and author was born Dennis Bradley Philips in Kingston, Jamaica. At age 11 he moved to Canada settling down with his family. Before his conversion to Islam in 1972 he was a Communist Party activist. He graduated from the Islamic University of Medina with a BA and later obtained an MA in Islamic theology from the King Saud University in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. He now lives in Qatar and comes back to Canada to occasionally lecture. Continue Reading →

WTF? Kim Jong-il appointed to UN Conference on Disarmament. Canada reacts.

Frankly, I think Trey Parker and Mat Stone really had it all figured out some time ago.

 

Is Canada’s denouncement of North Korean UN appointment enough?

OTTAWA — Canada ought to go a step beyond simply denouncing the ironic appointment of North Korea to the United Nations Conference on Disarmament, a leading foreign policy expert said Thursday.

Fen Hampson, the director of Norman Paterson School of International Affairs at Carleton University in Ottawa, suggested Canada temporarily withdraw from the conference as a symbol of dissent.

Given North Korea’s track record on nuclear proliferation, at the very least Canada should launch an internal review of the conference which he described as a “Mad Hatter’s Tea Party” under the leadership of So Se Pyong.

“This is kind of beyond the pale,” Hampson said. “North Korea has clearly shown that it doesn’t play by the rules when it comes to arms control and the obligations of member states.” Continue Reading →

The joke of ‘secure Britain’: Vile banned militant extremist strolls through Heathrow immigration as 200 Somalian criminals are allowed to stay due to human rights

  • Free to walk the streets, asylum seeker thieves and drug dealers

Impunity: Banned radical extremist Raad Salah walking free in the streets of Leicester yesterdayImpunity: Banned radical extremist Raed Salah walking free in the streets of Leicester yesterday

 

Britain’s powerlessness to control who has the right to be in this country was glaringly exposed last night by two extraordinary cases.

In the first, an anti-Semitic preacher of hate whom the Home Secretary had banned from entering Britain was able to stroll in through Heathrow.

Last night, Raed Salah was giving a lecture organised by Islamist radicals to a large crowd in Leicester, and today he was due to speak at Westminster at the invitation of Left-wing Labour MPs.

In the second, a bombshell ruling by European judges blocked the deportation of some 200 Somali criminals back to their homeland.

The Strasbourg court said the men, including drug dealers and serial burglars, might be persecuted in war-torn Somalia, and that they must be allowed to stay to protect their human rights.

So, irrespective of how  heinous their crimes or the danger they present to the public, Britain has no power to expel them. Continue Reading →

Woman’s leg broken, others hurt in Spring Garden mob attack

Posted on by

Here is an interesting story. A mob attacks women and other people, and there is not one adjective about the attackers other than there appears to have been around 100 of them. Is this journalism? Have we really gotten to the point where media has decided for us all what we are not allowed to know in case we form opinions based on facts that might be politically inconvenient? Why do I think if they were mostly middle class white kids from Christian backgrounds we would have video, photos and names by now? Below, a paragraph or two of the story but click over and read the whole thing to get a sense of the scope of the lack of information.

A WOMAN’S leg was broken and several other people were injured Saturday night when a large group of teens accosted pedestrians in Spring Garden, police and witnesses said.

Philadelphia police responded to two reports of pedestrians being assaulted by a large group of young people along Broad Street about 9:30 p.m.

One of those reports came from Emily Guendelsberger, 27, city editor for local arts and entertainment content for the Onion, the satirical newspaper and website. She was walking with seven friends on Green Street near Broad when they were accosted, she said. Guendelsberger, who remained hospitalized with a broken leg yesterday, declined to comment further.

 

 

 

Teachers reluctant to discuss 9/11

Posted on by

Islam once again manages to force the rest of the world to change historical, even contemporary historical fact and how it is taught to avoid ‘offending’ them in some way. Here is a thought. If Islam does not wish to be exposed as the ideology behind death, mass murder, destruction and retrograde actions to civilization, just get Muslims to stop doing all those things. Problem solved.

From The Telegraph:

Teachers are reluctant to discuss the September 11 attacks on America because they fear it will provoke racism and Islamaphobia in class, according to a survey.

By Stephen Adams

3:35PM BST 24 Jun 2011

Those in schools with high numbers of Muslim children are particularly concerned about talking about the atrocity – despite it being arguably the defining event of the 21st century so far.

Alison Kitson, faculty director at the Institute of Education at London University, which carried out the survey, said teachers should “grasp the nettle” and tackle the subject. They should credit children with more maturity, she said.

Four in five teachers (81 per cent) said that when teaching the topic, it was a challenge to break “students’ stereotypes and prejudices about other cultures”.

The academics polled almost 200 teachers across the country and also visited eight schools: four in London, and one each in Leeds, Worcestershire, Oxford and Surrey.

At two schools, teachers showed “serious resistance” to raising the subject, while in another there was “some resistance” from staff.

Teachers in schools with higher proportions of children from ethnic minority backgrounds were most against discussing 9/11. Continue Reading →

Robert Kennedy Jr. “The Whole World Knows Geert Wilders is a Racist”

Posted on by

Here is a staggeringly good example of the politically correct left’s destruction of important and meaningful concepts and words. Racist of course already nearly means nothing thanks to the left’s forcing people to accept the notion that a group no matter how it is defined, whether it is by voluntary belief such as religion or sexual preference like homosexuality, is tantamount to race and any criticism of behaviors that may define these groups is consequently racist. Notice how Kennedy Jr. avoids answering any question on why Mr. Wilders is a racist, he simply insists that he is and that everyone knows he is. The usual dodge of the left.

 

‘ I don’t need to back up my name calling cause everyone (except everyone who doesn’t agree but they don’t count cause they are also racists) knows that its true.’

 

History will show that Geert Wilders did more for Gay rights, minority rights, intercultural tolerance and preservation of Western values than any other politician of this time while Kennedy and his ilk happily threw those who Islam oppresses ‘under the bus’ merely to attempt to preserve the populist narrative.

Greeks violently protest ‘austerity’ measures.

Posted on by

And Western civilization appears to be ending where Western civilization began. Victims of its own success, spoiled, violent, ignoramuses throw harmful agents at police and the Greek Parliament buildings to complain about the removal of benefits and comforts that they have not earned and must be paid for by hard working Germans and other peoples.

It should be Germans rioting to complain about their own wealth taxed away to pay for unprecedented benefits the Greeks enjoy, far surpassing that of the Germans, while the Germans pay for them.

It is no longer that the barbarians are at the gates, or even as Mark Steyn said in America Alone, that the barbarians are in our cities using our ATM’s. But that leftism has turned our own children, our brothers and sisters into the barbarians with a culture of utter moral certainty and sense of entitlement.

Eeyore for Vlad.

Watch real racists squirm

Posted on by

Oh man this is fun. College racists when asked if they support the exact same program that advantages non-whites in every sphere of life, ineffectively weasel their way out of supporting the same policy when merit actually creates a disproportionate number of non-whites as dominant in the field. This is quite satisfying to watch. Actual racists caught in the act and being oh so gentile trying to pretend to be otherwise.

SOME JEWISH COMMUNITY LEADERS JOIN THEMSELVES AT THE HIP WITH ISLAM IN EUROPE

Posted on by

LOONS.

This is an earlier report but it bears returning to because of the ramifications, for Jewish leaders, who have for the most part thrown their lot in with the traditional loon Left, are playing a dangerous game. The very group that they are aligning themselves with do not have their own best interests at heart, they’re (Jews) just a means to solidify and increase their gains in European/Western society, by using them as a teflon shield against criticism.

Europe has a Jewish/Christian heritage, the very foundations of western society is based upon those two, not Islam, which is an anti-thesis to all we hold dear as westerners. This declaration is a knee-jerk reaction by Leftist leaders within Jewish communities in Europe who think that the Left (statist totalitarians) and the Islamic community (societal totalitarians) are their safeguard for a continued existence in Europe. They couldn’t be more wrong. KGS

NOTE: The Left hates Israeli self determination, the Muslims hate Israel and Jews and every other ‘infidel’ in existence whose mere existence is an affront to their allah. What don’t they understand about that?

Jewish and Muslim leaders urge European Union heads not to pander to extreme-right

30 May 2011

In Brussels, leaders of Islamic and Jewish communities from several European countries today presented a joint declaration to the presidents of the three main European Union institutions. Ahead of a meeting of European religious leaders representing all major faiths in Europe, Bosnian Grand Mufti Mustafa Ceric and Brussels Chief Rabbi Albert Guigui handed the document on behalf of the 33 signatories to Commission President José Manuel Barroso, European Parliament President Jerzy Buzek and European Council President Herman Van Rompuy.

The declaration stresses that “Jews and Muslims live side-by-side in every European country and our two communities are important components of Europe’s religious, cultural and social tapestry. Both Muslims and Jews have deep roots and historical experience on this continent.” It raises concern about “increasing manifestations of Islamophobia (anti-Muslim bigotry) and anti-Semitism in countries across Europe.”

RED CROSS: THERE’S NO HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA

Posted on by

Fake humanitarians despondent.

Like the Tundra Taloids has been telling its readers for a very long time now, there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and all who are involved in trying to break the legal anti-weapons blockade of Gaza, are in essence backing the genocidal terrorist organization, Hamas, in its quest to murder Jews. KGS

H/T: Missin Peace

But Redmatn did go on to criticize Israel for maintaining a partial embargo on certain goods, such as cement, which can and has been used by terrorist forces to build bunkers.

“Israel has the legitimate right to protect the civilian population, [but] this right should be balanced with the right of 1.5 million people living in the Gaza Strip,” said Redmatn. “…difficulties in importing building materials [has] hampered sustainable economic recovery and dashed any hope of leading a normal and dignified life.”

Israelis would argue that a territory that elects terrorists as its leaders and then facilitates the launching of thousands of missiles at a neighboring territory has forfeited the right to a “normal and dignified life.”

Two middle eastern men trashed bibles in ‘multifaith’ prayer rooms at Ottawa Airport Friday April 15 2011

Posted on by

Why am I posting this unsubstantiated story? Because all the mass media has abandoned its role as informants and purveyors of news and instead, has become fabricators of opinion, making sure that nothing bad Muslims do reaches our understanding while exagerating anything anyone else might do, especially if Muslims are made uncomfortable by it. So I am left with no choice. When someone claims something was done, I know for a fact that by the time the news reports it, if it ever reports it, that it is likely no longer relevant. So I have to take the word of people who say they have seen things.
