Links for Sunday March 1 2009

First of all, I would like to mention that today is VTB’s 1st birthday. We have been doggedly blogging for one year today. I wish to take this opportunity to thank especially Grace who researches tirelessly every day for stories especially of Canadian interest that has often caught the attention of the general blogosphere. We started out happy to have four or five readers a day and now are enjoying what I am told, is a good readership for a blog only one year old on a daily basis.

Also the readers of this blog. Because you come and read and comment, it is the juice that keeps us working. Thank you for making this a space you visit. It really does mean a great deal to us especially when you leave a comment.

Also through this blog I have had the chance to meet some truly wonderful thoughtful and dedicated people who have committed themselves to the cause of freedom of the individual usually at great expense to themselves both financially (as this is a very time consuming vocation) as well as no small amount of personal risks as there most certainly are groups out there in pretty much every city in the western world and beyond now, who would do harm to those interfering with the agenda of the various kinds of fascism now threatening all of us.

I would like to particularly thank The Gates of Vienna as well as The Religion of Peace for their support in terms of information as well as general insight and the amazing amount of hard work they do for the cause of raising awareness of the imminent dangers that face us all.

There are dozens of other blogs however from which we have drawn information and inspiration not least of which is Ezra Levant who is a tireless fighter for freedom of speech, One of the corner stones of the anti jihad. As it has been said,

“Take away all my rights and just leave me freedom of speech and I will win the rest back with just that one”.

Many more can be found in our blogroll to the right.

On to some links:

I like all of us I’m sure, have concerns about various political parties who claim to wish to work for the maintenance of indigenous European peoples and cultures. How can we know they are not secretly fascist parties working for a sinister agenda?

As we have seen, many parties in Europe who are in fact classically liberal have been so maligned as an attempt to discredit them by those who are indeed truly fascist. Geert Wilders is constantly referred to by the European press as being ‘a far right Dutch politician’ when of course nothing can be farther from the truth.  I enjoy pointing out to anyone who views him that way that if they can find any far right politician in world history who has been a vocal supporter of homosexual rights, of minority and most importantly individual rights such as to smoke marijuana (A stupid choice but not anyone else’s to make for you) and a staunch supporter of Israel and Jewish minorities than OK Geert is far right.

No one yet has found such an example.

Even so, I have had my concerns about the BNP in the UK. They are often accused of being a front for a kind of neo-nazi movement. I still am not sure but I did find this video from the BNP to be very instructive:

There are other examples of classically liberal parties in Europe which are painted with the labels of fascism. This is a dangerous tactic. It likely will backfire on all of us. Notably the German Pro-Köln. To quote from the Gates of Vienna:

Pro-Köln Gets the Vlaams Belang Treatment

by Baron Bodissey

Under the suffocating strictures of politically correct Multiculturalism, any conservative nationalist party in Europe is certain to be demonized as “neo-Nazi”. In some countries it is all but impossible for a truly conservative party to emerge. Anyone who publicly admits to right-wing convictions is instantly vilified by the political establishment and set upon by the hounds of the media. For this reason, European electoral choices usually amount to Socialism, More Socialism, Extra-Strength Socialism, and — just for variety’s sake — Socialism With Added Environmentalism.

Scottland makes crimes against Muslims more serious than crimes against, well anyone else.

Thanks to The Frozen North for exposing this little bit of legal and politically correct horror.I had to email the blog that broke this story asking for an original link. Not so much because I didn’t believe it in fact its more unbelievable when this sort of capitulation to Muslim pressure groups does not occur. However for detractors, one needs a link to a credable news source, which usually means news sources which deliberatly avoid exposing Islamic influence in the west. In any case, the newspaper that carried this story does not have an electronic version and the blog linked above was kind enough to photograph the whole story in the original newspaper and post a link to see them all on photobucket. Thank you Frozen North for doing that very much.

POLICE IN RACE BIAS OUTRAGE

Scottish forces ordered to give priority to crimes against Muslims

by Dean Herbert

Police in Scotland have been ordered to give special priority to crimes where the victims are Muslim.

In a move that last night sparked a fresh row over political correctness, a senior officer revealed that the race and religion of a victim has now become a crucial factor in how police respond to crime.

Inspector Tom Galbraith, of Lothian and Borders Police’s diversity unit, told a conference on tackling terrorism that it was important to stop Scottish Muslims feeling “vulnerable” in case they were driven towards radicalism.

Mr. Galbraith said the force encouraged officers to consider the religious or ethnic backgrounds of victims to assess their needs in dealing with hate crimes.

He said that both an attack and a perceived lack of action by police could turn Islamic youths into future terrorists.

Mr. Galbraith also revealed that police officers, Special Branch and BAA security staff were being given special lessons about Islamic culture after Muslims complained that being questioned when entering the country about whether they pray and attend mosques was offensive to their faith.

Speaking at a national security conference in Edinburgh on Thursday, Mr. Galbraith said, “It is not about treating everybody the same.

If I have a young Asian man who has been subjected to a hate crime, I would rather put more resources into that than if it had happened to a white male because the white male is far less likely to end up becoming radicalised.”

He later confirmed that his remarks were in line with Lothian and Borders Police policy, saying that cases of hate crime were assessed “by need”.

He added: “You have to consider cases according to need.  The idea of treating people all the same is a bit naive and we have to remember that there are vulnerable individuals who can be put on the path of radicalism.”

Last night, the police were criticised for being too politically correct in dealing with hate crimes.

Conservative Justice spokesman Bill Aitken said: “I’m afraid we are now living in a society in which some people are more equal than others.

“Not accepting assault against some people is a serious matter and the law is required to be proactive in each and every case.

“There is no room for political correctness in the fight against crime.”

Richard Cook, Scottish spokesman for the Campaign Against Political Correctness, added: “I think people will be extremely concerned that victims are being treated differently according to their religion, colour of their skin and where they live.”

During the conference, Mr. Galbraith also said that police officers and airport security staff were being given lessons in Islamic culture to avoid offending arrivals.

He said: “Sometimes they will be asked “Do you pray?” or “Do you visit mosques?” when they arrive in the country.

“This kind of thing is derogatory to the Islamic faith.  A lot of people then wonder what is wrong with going to mosques in this country.

“It is about making an effort in learning about other cultures and faiths.”

He later confirmed that training in Islamic culture was now on-going among officers.

Mr. Galbraith joined Lothian and Borders police in 1988.

He presently works in the diversity unit under the “prevent” strand of the UK counter-terrorism strategy.

Here is one that seems to be below the radar. An Iranian working for a Florida nuclear facility had his home raided by the FBI. Now I wonder why that might be. More on it from FOX news

Speaking of below the radar, Vlad has been reporting for some time now, and may be one of the first blogs to mention Russian renewed flights over Canada and England and so on of their TU-95 turbo prop bombers. Apparently Canadian C-F18s where scrambled to intercept and escort Russian bombers out of Canadian arispace on the day of Obama’s visit. The link is from the National Post. Nice pics of the TU 95s and the F 18s as well.

Here is an interview about the fellow who decapitated his wife in Buffalo recently. He was on the radar of authorities well before he became an extreme hair stylist. So to speak.

Here is a link to a strategy analysis of how various Islamic groups operate. This explains CAIR nicely among other groups. The intention to ‘normalize’ Islamic beliefs and practices in order to have them be adopted by increments. Its working rather splendidly in the UK.

Here also is a good article on the horror that has become of the Swat Valley. If you read it, I hope you will spare yourself just one thought. “It can’t happen here.” It has happened here whever here is, it IS happening here, and it WILL happen here.

March for sharia in Englandistan

What can possibly be the motive for the various levels of government in the UK to so selectively enforce laws that can account for the article below? Can it merely be fear? Have the British become so complacent and timid that they fear any violence at all and move straight to surrender? Often on Vlad we have posted articles showing the dhimmitude of the British but each week something occurs that eclipses the previous events. Last weeks arrest and banning of Geert Wilders at Heathrow airport and now permission to stage a march demanding sharia law in place of British common law, the system upon which Canadian American and Australian legal systems are founded not to mention India and numerous other nations, all of which are the only decent places for human habitation on earth I might add. The UK also agreed to banish a traditional English parade as ‘racist’. Selective enforcement at its most pernicious.

Why no revolt by the public? They care clearly caught in a pincer attack. The violent Muslim immigrants on one hand, and the fear of arrest and having a relatively comfortable life destroyed by their own governments on the other.

Remember, it was not Geert Wilders who first compared Koran to Mein Kampf. It was W. Churchill in his nobel prize winning book on WW2, The Gathering Storm.

Eeyore for Vlad.

HATE PREACHER GETS OK TO RUN SHARIA LAW DEMO
ABOVE: CAMPAIGN: Anjem Choudary
28th February 2009
By Tom Savage and Ross Kaniuk

Demands sharia law in UK

Demands sharia law in UK

HATE preacher Anjem Choudary will march in London today calling for Britain to adopt Islamic Sharia law.

The startling move comes just days after processions celebrating St George were banned for being racist.

Choudary was given the green light yesterday despite a previous demonstration in which some of his supporters chanted: “Bomb the UK”.

Publicity for the march, in the East End, carries 41-year-old Choudary’s personal mobile number and says the aim of the campaign is to “emulate the Prophet and his companions, by calling for Islam and speaking out against the oppression of man-made law”.

It says that Britain is full of “disbelievers” who are involved in prostitution, gambling, alcoholism and worshipping other gods.

The publicity says women are welcome to join the march but they must walk at the back of the procession as “strict segregation will be enforced”.

The demo comes 18 months after three of Choudary’s supporters were jailed for soliciting murder in a London protest against cartoons of the prophet Mohammed published in Denmark.

That was when some demonstrators chanted “Bomb the UK” and “Europe, you will pay with your blood”. Organiser Choudary was fined.

Today’s march won permission after a council withdrew funding for a St George’s Day parade in the Midlands – on the grounds that it was “racist”.

Parade founder Mark Cowles, 40, of West Bromwich, said yesterday: “I can’t believe Choudary’s event can go ahead.

“The British establishment is trying to take away the British voice but other cultures choose to force their way of life on us.”

Muslim preacher Anjem Choudary calls for people who get drunk to be flogged

The lawyer, who recently praised the Mumbai terror attacks, said anyone becoming intoxicated by alcohol should be given 40 lashes in public. He claimed alcohol was “the root of all evil”.

The 41-year-old made the remarks on his website Islam4UK, which argues that Britain should become an Islamic state ruled by Sharia law.

Mr Choudary also used the plight of George Best, the former Manchester United footballer who died aged 59 in 2005 after a long battle with alcoholism, to illustrate why it must be outlawed.

He wrote: “Under Islam, all harmful intoxicants will be banned unequivocally, regardless of their classification or their profitability in retail marketing.

“The Final Messenger Muhammad condemned the manufacturing, transporting, retailing and consuming of alcoholic beverages over 1,400 years ago and equated it with being one of the roots of all evils.

“Islam additionally imposes 40 lashes in public for deliberate intoxication, followed by 80 lashes in public if repeated for a second time.”

Mr Choudary argued that alcohol should be “removed from society”.

He also wrote that everything would be “sound” and “put right” if Sharia law was introduced in the UK, adding: “Islam is undeniably the only real solution for Britain’s problems.”

From another UK Blog..

Lots of information and links. Check the link yourself. Its well worth it. This mam Choudary goes beyond fifth column and perhaps even beyond treason as there appears not to be any presence at all to represent England its values customs or traditions but an open call to jihad and the deaths of all who stand in the way of the Islamification of the west, the UK in particular.

Video on UN resolution on defamation of Islam

This is important. Do not kid yourself. This resolution will attempt to make any observation of Islam and behavior of Muslims around the world illegal should those observations be tactically problematic for Islamic global dominance. This is urgent and needs to be followed closely. Its also powerful evidence that the UN not only has little or nothing to do with its purpose at inception, but is now in fact the enemy. The enemy of all free people and anyone who wishes any degree of autonomy as a group. Chris Hitchens is also interviewed in this piece. We at VTB have been following the UN workings to destroy freedom of speech and worse, the attempt to make criticism of irrational religious authority a crime. This criticism was the very thing that allowed the enlightenment which now appears to be near an end.

Also, this is clearly an attempt to install sharia law by proxy.

If in the past few generations there was anything worth fighting for, the preservation of freedom of speech and from religious tyranny is that thing.

In this article, Gary Bauer, former presidential candidate speaks out on Hollywood hypocrisy focusing on Sean Penn. This is a good and well written piece although Im sure none of the content will be unfamiliar to readers of VTB. I feel its worth posting as part of an ongoing thread here about the left, the arts, and Islam. He does miss one movie though, the recent comedy, ‘An American Carol’ which is a fairly typical Hollywood comedy in formula but rather cathartic for those of us looking to Hollywood to present some truth to those of us who have at least one eye open to the world. I have seen it three times now.

I say cathartic because at last someone had the raw balls to point at Hollywood hypocrisy, show the dangers of Islam to the west and to woman’s rights and so on, and mock Islam the way Hollywood should mock anyone friend or foe. I might add that Gary Bauer does neglect one point. That artists themselves are the first targets of Islam once they have the power to do so. We see this today in the Swat valley, recently a favorite tourist spot with much local dance and music now the new homeland to the Taliban where artists and dancers have their mutilated corpses left out on display in prominent areas of villages to get the message out faster of what will not be tolerated. The Taliban recently also made a public threat that they would send suicide bombers on to any bus within Pakistan which played music or showed movies. (I doubt they would make an exception for Sean Penn’s recent film ‘Milk’ where he played a gay rights activist somehow.) The bus drivers immediately complied. Who wouldn’t. Pakistan cannot protect their own largest safest hotels. How can they protect every single peasant wagon.

Speaking of Afghanistan, we pushed the Taliban out of there did we not? and saw a new more liberal government put in its place we are still fighting and dieing for over there. Yet strangely we have the death sentence for one Afghan merely for suggesting misogyny was an extremist misinterpretation of Islam and that the ‘true Islam’ saw men and women as equal. He also questioned why Muslim women could not have four husbands. His sentence because of large public pressure from the west was commuted to life in prison. The above link is an article about how his brother is in Italy asking for help to free this man from prison. Again, why are we spending billions and some of our finest young men to protect a regime which seem to be ‘Taliban lite’.

Meanwhile in Egypt, a trial awaits another man who converted to Coptic Christianity from Islam, a faith which predates Islam in Egypt by centuries, who will likely get the death sentence. This is a good article about his ordeal. I do like the analogy about how North Korea, the Soviet Union and Islam all insist they are the best possible systems of thought and way of life and yet kill anyone who leaves. Makes ya wonder just a little bit.

Lastly, this video from an Israeli Arab. Whoever the hell you are buddy, thank you very much for doing this. This video I’m sure, will mean a great deal to many of us. It certainly does to me. Found on Occidental Soapbox

United Kaliphate: Cabbie stabs wife to death. Makes her read from Quoran first.

Cabbie stabbed wife after ‘visit ban lifted’, court hears. From Asia News.UK

February 25, 2009
A TAXI driver stabbed his wife to death just days after his second arrest for allegedly abusing her, a court has been told.

Sabina Akhtar was murdered by Malik Mannan within five days of police cancelling bail conditions which banned him from contacting her, Manchester Crown Court heard.

Mr Mannan had been arrested for defying those conditions – imposed after Sabina told police she had been attacked by him as many as 25 times, the jury heard.

Sabina, 26, the mother of their three-year-old son, was found dead at the family home in Charlton Road, Levenshulme.

She died from a single stab wound to her chest which penetrated her heart. Mr Mannan, 36, of Meldon Road, Longsight, denies murder, claiming he acted in self-defence.

Sabina, from Bangladesh, had an arranged marriage with Mr Mannan, who was divorced, the court heard.

She became upset when she found he was having an affair with a woman she called his `other wife’ and with whom Mr Mannan had two young children, the jury was told.

But Sabina decided to `suffer in silence’ and stay with him.

After marrying in Bangladesh in 2003, Sabina learned of the affair in 2005.

Despite assurances it was over, Mr Mannan kept seein the woman, said prosecutor Paul Reid.

He said Mr Mannan subjected Sabina to a catalogue of threats and attacks – and last July she called police. But `owing to her confusion and language difficulties, no formal complaint was recorded’.

The next day, Mr Mannan slapped their son and he burned the marriage certificate, the jury was told.

The court heard he grabbed Sabina’s throat and ordered her to read passages from the Koran. “This is your final hour,” he is alleged to have told her.

The jury was also told he said to Sabina: “I am going to get a knife and when I return I am going to slaughter you.”

Sabina made a second complaint to police and Mr Mannon was arrested that day and later released on bail, on condition he did not approach his wife or go to their home.

But the Crown says he continued to harass Sabina and was arrested on September 7 for defying his bail conditions.

The jury was told Mr Mannan was arrested after he put his hand through the letter box and shouted to Sabina to open the door.

After he was released without charge and his bail conditions cancelled, the court heard he sent a text to Sabina boasting: “I am a free man since 1.30. Case file closed. Isn’t it great?”

Mr Mannan’s family told police on September 12 they hadn’t heard from him, so officers broke into Sabina’s home and found her dead.

Summary
Pakistan’s federal government imposed governor’s rule in Punjab, the country’s largest province, Feb. 25 after the Supreme Court ruled Punjab’s chief minister as ineligible for office. This is a preemptive move by the central government to try and contain large-scale protests by the country’s legal community, which is demanding the restoration of the judiciary. The tussle comes at a time when the country is already politically and economically weak and the military is likely far too distracted with the jihadist insurgency to step in and quell such political brawls, boding ill for the security of the country and the wider region.

Analysis

Pakistan’s federal government, led by the Pakistan’s People’s Party (PPP), on Feb. 25 suspended the provincial legislature and government and imposed governor’s rule for two months in Punjab, the country’s largest and most powerful province. Punjab is controlled by the country’s other major political force, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), led by two-term former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif. Earlier, Pakistan’s Supreme Court declared Sharif and his younger brother, Punjab’s chief minister Shahbaz Sharif, as ineligible for public office. The elder Sharif had previously been barred from holding public office; his younger brother’s disqualification represents the central government’s intention to go for the PML-N’s jugular, thereby destabilizing Punjab’s provincial government. Supporters of the PML-N are protesting the central government’s decision, holding demonstrations across the country. Protesters reportedly burned tires and damaged public property.

This from Spiegel.de on Swat and Pakistan:

Bowing Down to the Taliban

By Susanne Koelbl

Pakistan is capitulating to the Taliban in the picturesque Swat Valley, where the Islamists have introduced Sharia law. Now the militants’ triumph threatens to encourage radicals throughout the region.

The defeat was celebrated as if it had been a victory. The chief minister of the North-West Frontier Province greeted a delegation from the local Taliban. The Taliban officials, with their long beards and turbans, had come to the chief minister’s house to sign a treaty. After arriving in pickups and large limousines, the men were seated on velvet armchairs and served food on silver trays.

Then the pious foes of the government in Islamabad were given a coveted piece of Pakistan as a gift.

Under the agreement, which the men and the governor signed with much ceremony, the Taliban will be permitted to implement their interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia, in the Swat Valley and other adjacent districts at the foot of the Hindu Kush mountain range. “Today is a historic day,” said Amir Haider Khan Hoti, the chief minister of the provincial government, clearly straining to put a positive spin on the Taliban’s assumption of power. “An old demand of the people has been met. The new regulation will provide a more efficient legal system.”

It was a blatant lie. Most Pakistanis are shocked by the prospect that, in the Swat Valley, thieves could have their hands cut off and adulterers could face stoning in the future. Such punishments were in fact already possible under Pakistani law, but have never been carried out in the past.

Visit the link above to read the rest of the article and view the photo gallery. But the best thing is the film from Australia’s Four Corners a few posts down from here. This situation must not be under estimated for its severity and implications to the rest of the world.

More horrors in England. Is it still called England?

OK maybe the Islamic caliphate of England.

Remember Lord Ahmed? The guy who threatened to send 10,000 angry Muslims into the streets of London if Geert Wilders was allowed to come in to speak as the invited guest of the house of Lords and show his film Fitna which suggests that Muslims tend to use violence to get their way? well he was sentenced to 12 weeks in prison for a fatal car crash he caused because of text messaging while driving in the dark at 60 MPH plus.

At least the British are safe from him for probably about six weeks so long as they do not give him a cell phone while in jail. My guess is, he is far more dangerous on a phone than he is driving. If he can call up and arrange ten thousand rioting Muslims as he claims he can.

Meanwhile, another British Muslim politician, a councilor for Brent has been asked to resign for calling for the murder of women for adultery.

Calls for Brent Sharia law councillor to resign

Councillor Atiq Malik

Politicians in Brent are calling for the resignation of a councilor after he advocated the introduction of Sharia law for British Muslims on a website, including the death penalty for women who commit adultery.
The remarks were a response to The Archbishop of Canterbury’s comments made earlier this month in which he said the adoption of Sharia law in the UK seemed unavoidable.

Here is a classic quote from this asshole:

“If an unmarried woman has an affair she is lashed 100 times. If a married woman has an affair she is stoned to death. What is wrong in it?”

England. An elected representative. Sadly, I am reminded of something a friend of mine in the intelligence community said to me recently.

“If we are not prepared to lose any of our civil rights for a while now, we may lose them all forever.”

Now of course that’s ridiculous. Spain got its rights back after a mere seven hundred years of harsh Islamic rule.

Moving on to polygamy and welfare in the UK. Something of course we would never ever see in Toronto:

From the excellent blog The Opinionator which unabashedly follows grotesque hypocrisy in England:

“Ministers decided not to force through plans to cut benefits to hundreds of polygamous families in the UK after officials advised that the move would be too politically sensitive.”LINK

Too bad these same ministers didn’t spend more time addressing the crisis of 3000 young muslim women who fall victim to forced marriages per year in Britain OR recall the devastation and humiliation that young model,Sahar Daftary, felt when she discovered her new husband already had a wife (plus an ex-wife) & children. Sahar plunged 150′ to her “suspicious” suicidal death.

Please go to the opinionator link to get the rest and follow its links to original sources.

Now, from Gates of Vienna, this issue which needs to be watched closely...


UK: Will Labour Allow This Muslim Hardliner With Links to Hezbollah Into Britain?

Jacqui Smith was tonight warned against exercising ‘double standards’ as an Islamic extremist prepared to travel to the UK.

Ibrahim Moussawi, a known hardliner with links to Hezbollah, has been invited to speak at a London university.

But the Home Secretary is under pressure to refuse an entry visa to Moussawi, who has allegedly described Jews as ‘a lesion on the forehead of history’.

Earlier this month, she banned the far-Right Dutch MP Geert Wilders from coming to Britain to show his film about Islam as it would threaten ‘community harmony’.

But the Conservatives warned that to ban those who threaten community harmony, while letting in those who glorify terrorism or are part of terrorist groups, would send out the ‘wrong message’.

There must be ‘no double standards on extremists’, warned Tory security spokesman Baroness Neville-Jones.

Moussawi, who has already made at least two trips to the UK, has been invited to speak on political Islam at the School of Oriental and African Studies next month.

Editor for the newspaper of Lebanon-based terrorist organisation Hezbollah, he is a former political editor of the Iranian-backed group’s TV station, which is banned in many countries including France, Spain and the U.S, as its output is seen as anti-Semitic.

Despite his background he has twice been allowed to speak publicly in Britain by the Home Office, once in December 2007 and again in February 2008.

Just to be as clear as possible… The government of the UK had a true Jeffersonian Liberal, Geert wilders, (Yes I know this article calls him far right but I double damn dare ANYONE to find anything he has ever said or done which qualifies as moderately right let alone far right) arrested at Heathrow airport, detained for several hours and sent back to Holland for his view that Islam advocates terrorism, while allowing a Muslim advocator of terrorism in to speak to British universities twice so far, and may allow him to come in to speak again the near future. Just so we are clear.

There is more from the UK today but its three AM already and I have more to post on the doings of the religion of peace before I can close my eyes with a clear conscience.

Pakistan. If you read or see nothing else this week…

Make it this post. This is the most accurate and detailed documentary done so far on the deteriorating situation in Pakistan concerning Taliban and Al Queda in the Swat valley. This is extremely serious. I will be adding information all night on this but watch the documentary for the love of god, freedom, your wife and children, any Jewish friends you may have, for anything you hold sacred. If you think this isn’t going to happen here, wherever here is, I have news for you. It already is.

Add to this new information about the near total impotence of the civilian government in Pakistan, the army’s likely inability to step in and stabilize the country as it did in the early 90s, and today’s dismissal of the premiere of the largest province in Pakistan the Punjab.

I will be adding more to this post over the next 24 hours. There is a lot of information about Pakistan emerging rapidly but I want this video up now. Everyone simply has to see this.
Special thank you to Muslims against Sharia, a most excellent blog for providing me the embed code and for Australia’s four corners for making this. Sit down, get a drink, and watch.

Phyllis Chesler on Geert Wilders in New York

Chesler Chronicles

“I have come to warn you of a great threat. Free speech is no longer a given, we must now battle for our birthright. We are looking at the end of democracy, the slavery of women, the death of gays. While there might be moderate Muslims, there is no such thing as moderate Islam. Islam is not a religion, it is a political and totalitarian ideology.”

Some would say that these are fighting words.

Indeed, Dutch parliamentarian, Geert Wilders, is fighting for Western liberty and Western values, as rooted in the legacies of “Athens, Rome, and Jerusalem.” This is the legacy he wishes to leave the “children of Europe,” as opposed to the legacy of “Mecca and Gaza.” Wilders is fighting for us all, his fight is our fight. As he said earlier today, “it is not about (him) but about Free Speech.” Today he may be a “criminal, tomorrow, anyone of us might be considered a criminal too,” for telling the truth about the danger that Islam poses to Western democracy. “Today I may be put behind bars. I am not the issue. Will free speech be put behind bars?”

Interview from CFRA with David Harris of INSIGNIS and formerly of CSIS Feb 21 2009

Here is the audio of a 2 hour interview with Nick at Night from Ottawa’s CFRA. This is an excellent interview by a member of the inteligence community who spoke about various threats from Islam in the west and infiltration of various institutions as well as Iran and its nuclear ambitions.

He also exposes the true agenda and numbers of the ‘immigration industry’ as being a fraud as it is a net loss to Canada to import hundreds of thousands of people with a mean average age of sixty five and many of whom need expeonsive medical care and take social benefits.

For technical reasons, this player requires video to play an audio clip. I just used this goofy picture of a classic Muslim jihadi setting his own coat on fire while attempting to burn an American flag. It isnt connected to the interview in any way. But I hope it does provide a moment of amusement.

Mark Steyn: Exceptional essay on Islam, the west, the UK

From Jewish World Review Feb. 23, 2009 / 29 Shevat 5769

Going wobbly in the West

By Mark Steyn

http://www.JewishWorldReview.com | ‘It is hard to understand this deal,” said Richard Holbrooke, President Obama’s special envoy. And, if the special envoy of the so-called smartest and most impressive administration in living memory can’t understand it, what chance do the rest of us have?

Nevertheless, let’s try. In the Swat Valley, where a young Winston Churchill once served with the Malakand Field Force battling Muslim insurgents, his successors have concluded the game isn’t worth the candle. In return for a temporary ceasefire, the Pakistani government agreed to let the local franchise of the Taliban impose its industrial strength version of sharia across the whole of Malakand Region. If “region” sounds a bit of an imprecise term, Malakand has over five million people, all of whom are now living under a murderous theocracy. Still, peace rallies have broken out all over the Swat Valley, and, at a Swat peace rally, it helps to stand well back: As one headline put it, “Journalist Killed While Covering Peace Rally.”

But don’t worry about Pakistani nukes falling into the hands of “extremists”: The Swat Valley is a good hundred miles from the “nation”‘s capital, Islamabad — or about as far as Northern Vermont is from Southern Vermont. And, of course, Islamabad is safely under the control of the famously moderate Ali Zardari. A few days before the Swat deal, Mr. Zardari marked the dawn of the Obama era by releasing from house arrest A. Q. Khan, the celebrated scientist and one-stop shop for all your Islamic nuclear needs, for whose generosity North Korea and Iran are especially grateful.
