Gharqad tree and other delights from the garden of Mohamed

Posted on by

I was discussing the notion of Mohamed’s ‘tree of the Jews’ with my friend Jdamn and I had come to the conclusion that it was a fictitious tree as my feeble Internet searches came up with no actual earthly botany that matched this mythical tree that will not cry out to the Muslims on judgment day alerting them to an anorexic Jew behind them.

I say anorexic because its a mighty small tree and I know of no person that could successfully hide behind one in any meaningful way.

Jdamn, being somewhat better with Internet searches than I, managed to find this masterpiece. Please pay special attention to the near miraculous sophistry at the end. I quote for you:

“‘Ali Al-Faqir: Sir, it has been proven scientifically that the trees and the stones have languages of their own. But we don’t have the ability to invent the instruments that will convey the tree’s voice and the stone’s voice to us.”

One has to wonder how a thing was scientifically proven when the instruments for the tests do not yet exist. In any case, the sheer sophistry would be admirable if so many did not subscribe to it to the detriment of the world.

Muslims make the claim that Jews world wide are ferociously busy planting ‘Gharqad trees’ all over the place to try and be protected from the coming holocaust by Muslims to the Jewish people. Maybe the Muslims should take a lesson from their own fables. Try planting some things instead of sowing hatred and lies everywhere. Maybe you will learn to enjoy life and actually benefit the earth. For once.

This is a picture of the famous Gharqad tree (or Boxthorn tree in English) that will not speak out to the Muslim in the battles towards the end of time with the Jews.

In Sahih Muslim: Book 041, Number 6985:

Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

I found an interesting transcription of a conversation about this hadith that I thought I would share with you:

Khaled Al-Qudha: The decisive battle between the Jews and us will take place on the Jordan River, Allah willing. This is inevitable. This is a hadith of the Prophet, who does not talk idly.

Host: Did the hadith relate to the battle’s outcome as well? Continue Reading →

BEWARE OF MASTURBATING MUSLIMS

Posted on by

from the last crusade 

Paul L. Williams, Ph.D

President Barack Obama’s plan to create a Palestinian State by the bifurcation of Israel has hit a new snag.

 On the New Kaliya beach along the Dead Sea, groups of Palestinian Muslims are now forming circles around Israeli female sunbathers, mouthing obscenities, and masturbating in full view of the public.

 The practice has persisted until today when the young Palestinian Muslim men were prohibited from entering the beach unless they were accompanied by their parents.

Manager Itay Rahm of the Kaliya Beach Directorate said: “This is a very serious problem, not just here but for all the Dead Sea beaches. Based on our experience, we don’t let young Palestinian men in because of numerous harassment complaints.”

 Danny, a 35-year-old from Tel Aviv, visited the beach on Friday and expressed shocked at the new restrictive policy. “I went with two friends and in line behind us were two Arabs. The girl at the register just wouldn’t let them in,” he said.

 As the day progressed Danny said he saw more and more Palestinian men denied access to the beach. He said: “It kept repeating itself. At one point I asked the people at the register if they really weren’t letting Arabs in and they answered straight out that they were not. One of the workers told me that the men just aren’t let in alone, but families are. I asked why and she said that they bothered the female tourists… she said there’s nothing that can be done, it’s just the way it is. What, Israeli hooligans don’t bother girls – just Arabs?”

 Mr. Rahm replied that Israeli hooligans do not go to the extremes of the Palestinian Muslim men and do not perform acts of sexual self gratification before children, women, tourists, and other people on the beach.

The manager believes that the problem might stem from Palestinian culture. “They’re not allowed to hit on girls in their villages so they come here to harass them,” Mr. Rahm said. “Just to make a point, the day that man talked about a couple of Palestinian youths managed to sneak in and then started masturbating in front of female tourists,” When a rape whistle just won't cut it

Mr. Rahm added that Israeli Arabs are able to enter the beach without any problems. “It’s important to stress that we’re talking about Palestinians here. . . And this isn’t about racism, we let entire families in because I know that when there are women around they won’t do anything.”

 The problem of sex-starved Muslims does not appear to be confined to the Dead Sea. On any given  day, Arab men congregate on the bluffs overlooking the Tel Aviv Marina. Hands in their pockets, and grasping binoculars with their chins,  they spend hours in the blazing sun glaring at the women in string bikinis.swimming-hijab

Meanwhile, on the Muslim section of the Dead Sea beach, no known incidents of sexual harassment and public indecency. Women are prohibited from entering all but a tiny restricted area. The few female bathers who dare to appear wear the latest in Muslim beachwear;: the swimming hijab.

Israeli PM ‘ruins’ peace chance

Posted on by

For any Muslim to acknowledge Israels right to exist goes against all they are taught. The Qu’ran and Islamic scholars have made it very clear that it is the duty of Muslims to terrorize and kill Jews where ever they are found. Peace with Israel/Jews is un-Islamic and blasphemy.

godblesshitlerfrom BBC

Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak says an Israeli demand that Palestinians accept Israel as a Jewish state ruins the chances for a peace deal.

The demand was one of two conditions set by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as he backed the creation of a Palestinian state for the first time.

He also asked that a Palestinian state be demilitarised. Palestinians have rejected the conditions.

The US has called Mr Netenyahu’s stance an “important step forward”.

The EU said Mr Netanyahu’s comments were a step in the right direction, but not enough to raise relations with Israel to a higher level.

Egypt was the first Arab state to recognise Israel and a key mediator in Middle East peace negotiations.

Mr Mubarak said on Monday that he had told Mr Netanyahu that peace talks should be resumed.

“I have also told him loud and clear that the call for recognising Israel as a Jewish state would complicate matters and abort the chances of peace,” the state-run Mena news agency quoted Mr Mubarak as telling military officials.

“I even warned him that this particular call would not be met by a favourable response from Egypt or beyond.”

The Egyptian foreign ministry said it would continue to support US and international peace efforts, but that “the vision which the Israeli prime minister presented… is flawed and lacks many elements.”

Mr Mubarak was responding to Mr Netanyahu’s speech on Sunday in which he endorsed a Palestinian state for the first time.

Carter honored by Palestinians

MIDEAST ISRAEL PALESTINIANS CARTER

from the Associated Press    

RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) — Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter was honored by the Palestinian government Saturday and pledged to support the Palestinians’ campaign for independence to the end of his days.

In his acceptance speech, Carter urged the Palestinians to end their internal divisions and stop persecuting their rivals.

He was referring to the growing rift between the Islamic militant Hamas group, which controls Gaza, and Western-backed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, in charge of the West Bank. Each side has been cracking down on the other’s supporters, particularly since Hamas violently overran Gaza two years ago.

Carter met with Hamas’ exiled leadership in Syria on Thursday and is to head to Gaza on Sunday, after meeting with Israeli officials. Carter has said peace between Israel and the Palestinians is impossible without involving Hamas, but reiterated in Syria that he was not representing the Obama administration.

Hamas is being shunned by most of the international community, including the U.S., for refusing to recognize Israel or renounce violence, though Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal has said repeatedly in recent weeks that his group wants to be part of a Mideast solution.

In the West Bank, Carter was awarded the Palestine International Award for Excellence and Creativity. Previous recipients included two former international envoys, James Wolfensohn and Peter Hansen.

Carter brokered the Israeli-Egypt peace accord of 1979 and several years ago wrote a book, “Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid,” that is sharply critical of Israeli policies in the occupied territories.

“I have been in love with the Palestinian people for many years,” he said Saturday, adding that this is a feeling shared by members of his family.

“I have two great-grandsons that are rapidly learning about the people here and the anguish and suffering and deprivation of human rights that you have experienced ever since 1948,” he said.

Referring to President Barack Obama’s call for an Israeli settlement freeze, Carter said that “in the future, I am sure, he will call for the dismantling of the settlements that exist.”

But he noted that Obama also called for an end to violence against Israelis and for Arab acceptance of Israelis’ right to their own nation. Carter said such acceptance is painful for displaced Palestinians, but that “there has to be an accommodation in the political world.”

Carter, 85, pledged his “assistance, as long as I live, to win your freedom, your independence, your sovereignty and a good life.”

‘Palistinian’ murders own son for suspicion of Israeli collaboration

In the first incident of its kind, a Palestinian family has killed its 15-year-old son in the West Bank after accusing him of “collaboration” with Israel. From The Jerusalem Post: H/T GAR Jdamn Bare Naked Islam

Raed Wael Sawalha’s body was discovered in the basement of a house in his village of Hijjah in the Kalkilya area on Wednesday.

The Palestinian Authority security forces announced that they have arrested a number of the boy’s family members in connection with the killing.

The suspects confessed, saying they decided to kill Sawalha because of his alleged connections with the Israeli authorities, PA security sources said.

Sawalha is the youngest Palestinian to be killed on suspicion of collaboration.

Hundreds of other suspected collaborators have also been killed by Palestinians over the past few years.

A preliminary investigation launched by PA security forces revealed that Sawalha had been brutally tortured before he was hanged.

Villagers initially believed that the boy had either committed suicide or hanged himself accidentally while playing with friends.

Gen. Adnan Damiri, spokesman for the PA security forces in the West Bank, said the perpetrators were all members of the boy’s family, including his father, uncle and cousin.

He expressed outrage over the crime and pledged that those involved would be brought to trial and punished.

Israelis ‘thwarted Gaza horse bomb attack’

Posted on by

Senior Hamas leader, Ismail Haniya, said the incident was confirmation that Israel’s “aggressive intentions” continued, and accused Israel of not respecting the cease fire. ??? Yes, how dare the Israelis defend themselves. All these good Muslims wanted was to emulate their Jew slaughtering prophet in a manner reminiscent of the calvary charges on defenceless Jewish tribes in the past. Apparently the Israelis did not realize they were to lay down and die. Blame it all on a lack of communication I think.

Four Palestinian militants have been killed on Gaza’s border as Israeli forces fired at what they said were men and horses carrying explosives.

The Israeli military said its forces returned fire at a group including a few men wearing explosive vests and five horses loaded with explosives.

Israel said the Palestinians opened fire and tried to plant bombs near a crossing on the Gaza-Israel border.

Palestinian officials said about 10 gunmen were involved in the incident.

The Palestinian health ministry, which is run by the Hamas movement that controls Gaza, confirmed that four fighters were killed in the shooting.

Israeli forces fired on the militants with machine guns and tanks backed up with combat helicopters, the military said

There were no Israeli casualties in the incident, which took place north of Nahal Oz, the main terminal for transferring fuel into Gaza.

Nahal Oz and the nearby Karni crossing, used for transferring grain and animal feed, were closed in the wake of the incident.

It is one of the worst clashes since Israel’s three-week operation in Gaza in December and January.

Both Israel and the Hamas movement, which controls the Gaza Strip, declared unilateral ceasefires in the wake of the fighting.

Senior Hamas leader, Ismail Haniya, said the incident was confirmation that Israel’s “aggressive intentions” continued, and accused Israel of not respecting the cease fire.

Although Gaza has been relatively quiet since Israel’s three-week offensive against Hamas ended on 18 January, the border is a flashpoint for sporadic violence.

Israel to Obama: “No You Can’t!”

Posted on by

You have to admit. For a guy with so much on his plate at home, Obama sure seems preoccupied with Israel and it’s affairs.

nopefrom CFP

North Korea is launching missiles, Iran is building nukes, Saudi Arabia is sponsoring hate that translates into worldwide terrorism, Sudan is still massacring and raping, China is busy ethnic cleansing Tibet into a Chinese province… but the Obama Administration is furious, yes “furious” at only one country, Israel.

What did Israel do? Well it’s building a hotel in Jerusalem.

Washington is furious over the Interior Ministry’s anticipated approval of a plan to build a new hotel in East Jerusalem, just 100 meters from the Old City’s walls. In conversations with Israeli officials, senior American officials have made it clear that they want Israel to freeze all plans for expanding the Jewish presence in East Jerusalem, and especially in the Holy Basin – the area adjacent to the Old City. 

What right does Israel have building a hotel in its own capital anyway? So far we’ve had Secretary of State Hillary Clinton demand an end to Jewish babies being born, as if she were Pharaoh dressed up in a power suit. The administration has demanded an absolute freeze on settlements, with Jerusalem to be viewed as a “settlement” too, in exchange for Abbas and Hamas, maybe sorta stepping up their security cooperation. The double standard here isn’t exactly hard to find.

The Muslim world can build nukes (Iran), commit genocide (Sudan), occupy anyplace they want including the territory of a NATO ally (Turkey), and Obama will come hat in hand to them, bearing apologies and huge aid packages. Continue Reading →

Pajamas TV for June 1 well worth 9 mins 50 seconds of your time

Posted on by

As usual PJTV does a good job of giving us the news the ah, news doesn’t seem to bother with anymore. I can’t help but notice that self funded groups like Pajamas Media and blogs seem to be the ones bringing important information to supposedly free nations while mass media news outlets are censored or self censor any news which may generate a complaint from groups which perpetrate the horrors being reported on. It’s also interesting that many groups are looking after their own security abandoning the notion that the state is using the tax money collected from us all for what it was intended. One begins to wonder of the writ of state itself is losing meaning as leftism and Islam subverts resources of the state leaving all basic requirements of civilization to the individual to fulfill. While the state achieves less and less of what the basic requirements are, the cost of operations continue to go up. There is no formula that can make this sustainable. I would watch the UK and parts of Scandinavia to see where this is likely to go.

More blatant UN-HRC hypocracy than usual

Different rules for Israel

National Post  Published: Saturday, May 30, 2009

H/T Fred at GAR
If more proof were needed that the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) is a feckless, biased, intellectually corrupt haven for dictators and Islamofascists, the evidence was clearly on display this week. The UNHRC voted to affirm Sri Lanka’s right, justifiably, to self-defence from terror attacks launched against its citizens and territory by the Tamil Tigers. Indeed, the council went further, “condemning all attacks that the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) launched on the civilian population and its practice of using civilians as human shields.” Sri Lanka had every right to protect itself, the council concluded, even at the cost of an estimated 20,000 civilian Tamil lives since the beginning of May alone.

Why, then, when Israel seeks to do the same — protect its citizens and territory from rocket and terror attacks launched from Gaza — does the very same council accuse Israel of being a “genocidal empire?” No quarter is given for the way Hamas –every bit as much a terror organization as the LTTE — hides its rocket bases and ammunition caches in schools, apartments and hospitals and launches its attacks on Israel from behind innocent human targets so that if the Israel Defense Forces wish to retaliate it is impossible for them to do so without taking civilian lives.

We are not disagreeing with the UNHRC’s assessment of Sri Lanka’s actions. Even more than Hamas and its jihadi brothers-in-arms, the Tigers were enthusiastic suicide bombers, targeting shops, public squares and Sri Lankan government offices. So proficient had they become, the Black Tigers — the LTTE’s suicide squads — could calculate how many Sri Lankans would die in their initial blasts and how many more would be cut down by flying glass and debris. After nearly three decades of fighting and at least 70,000 deaths on both sides, we sympathize with the Colombo government’s desire to bring their civil war to an end, once and for all.

Our question is merely: Why such a double standard when it comes to Israel?

Following Israel’s offensive against Gaza earlier this year, members of the council accused the Jewish state of genocide. The UNHRC struck a investigative panel that examined only Israel’s role in the fighting; it ignored the many thousands of provocative rocket attacks launched by Gazans against civilian targets in Southern Israel over the past eight years. It was silent on Hamas’s repeated use of its own people as shields against Israeli counterattacks. What the council praises Sri Lanka for doing, it roundly criticized Israel for.

Council members Cuba, Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, China and others — all states with their own spotty records on human rights — voted for both the resolution condemning Israel and the one praising Sri Lanka. Cuba — that paragon of rights defence — even moved to stop EU amendments to the Sri Lankan resolution that would have at least called on Colombo to permit relief workers into the Tamil war zone and pressured both sides to end their violence.

Earlier this year, the UNHRC expressed its solidarity with the Palestinian people and denounced Israel as the “occupying power,” even though Israel had no troops in Gaza in the three years before the most recent incursion.

Accusing Israel of human rights violations, though, seems to be the foremost reason many countries seek seats on the council — that and using their positions to shield their own human rights records from scrutiny.

This week, many Arab member-states wanted the council to go further and accuse Israel of crimes against humanity for killing 600 to 900 Palestinian civilians. We suppose the fact that they were unsuccessful is some kind of ray of hope. Still, the even-more-blatant-than-usual bias of the council, as evidenced by their different approaches toward the very similar situations in Sri Lanka and Israel, shows that neither the council nor the greater UN can be trusted when it comes to the Middle East in particular and human rights in general.

France asks for more violent anti semitism by covering up what is already there

The Halimi Cover-Up
by Pamela Geller

Israel National News h/t Jdamn

Death in an Islamic “homemade concentration camp”.

halimi_pearl1

Warning! The following contains descriptions of extreme brutality.

The abduction and murder in Paris of a young Jewish man by a gang of Muslim immigrants calling themselves the Barbarians shocked the whole of France in 2006. But now that the accused are on trial – silence.

A French judge has ordered the latest issue of the magazine Choc (“shock”) removed from the shelves. The cover showed a man with duct tape completely covering his head, except for a small opening around his nostrils. His His hands are also bound with duct tape.

It was a photo of Ilan Halimi, the 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured for 24 days by the Barbarians. His captors took the picture and sent it to his family. A lawyer for Halimi’s family had complained about the magazine, but Choc’s editor-in-chief Paul Payan responded: “Of course, we understand the anguish of the parents and, of course, we share their anguish…. But what’s so harrowing is not the publication of this photo. What’s harrowing is what it represents, And it gets worse. The New York Times reported last week that “in the two and a half weeks since 27 people went on trial [in Paris] for the brutal 2006 kidnapping, torture and killing of a young Jewish man, little has filtered out about the proceedings.” Worse still, the little that has emerged indicates that French government and law enforcement have done everything in their power to obscure the Islamic Jew-hatred that led these Muslims to commit this crime.

The corrupt media, aligned with the jihad forces, has long blacked out the truth about Halimi’s homemade concentration camp and the inconceivable horrors that were suffered by this French Jew, chosen by Islam’s soldiers for unimaginable torture. They covered up the religious aspects of this depraved barbarity. Law enforcement did as well.

No one said anything about the Koran’s statement that the Jews are the Muslims’ worst enemies. No one referenced Muhammad’s words: “The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say, ‘O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him.'” Never was there heard anything about the Islamic tradition that says: “When judgment day arrives, Allah will give every Muslim a Jew or Christian to kill, so that the Muslim will not enter into hell fire.”

Ilan’s uncle, Rafi Halimi, reported that “the gang phoned the family on several occasions and made them listen to the recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan’s tortured screams could be heard in the background.”

Three weeks of unimaginable torture. Three weeks. So many clues. So many guilty animals partaking in the continuing torture in their “homemade concentration camp.” Twenty-three people participated in torturing Ilan. Another twenty were involved indirectly. The custodian of the building gave them the key to an apartment where they said they wanted to “keep someone.” French journalist Guy Millière reported that “the screams must have been loud because the torture was especially atrocious: the thugs cut bits off the flesh of the young man, they cut his fingers and ears, they burned him with acid, and in the end poured flammable liquid on him and set him on fire.” Continue Reading →

The Congregation of Jihad

From Canada Free Press

mohammad

Last year the Riverdale Jewish Center made headlines by accommodating a female Muslim exchange student’s need for a prayer space during school hours. As Rabbi Rosenblatt described it, “We’re just helping to welcome somebody’s child from overseas,” an announcement that was greeted by loud applause in his congregation.

King Solomon said in Kohelet, “Cast your bread upon the waters and it will return to you after many days.”

It took only a few months for the “bread” to return with a Muslim plot to bomb the Riverdale Jewish Center. Since no good deed done for Muslims goes unpunished, while the Rabbi and congregants of the Riverdale Jewish Center were congratulating themselves on their tolerance and open-mindedness, their eagerness to throw open the doors of their house of prayer to an enemy, their friendly neighborhood Muslims were plotting to kill and destroy.

French government seems to shoot the messenger as a policy

Hat tip Gates of Vienna. From Snaphanen:

The photo is worthy of the name of the magazine whose cover it adorns: “Shock” or “Choc” in French. It shows a man whose head has been wrapped in duct tape. His face is completely covered except for a small space that has been left for his nose. The nose is bloodied. The man’s hands are bound in front of him, likewise with tape. A key chain has been hung on his fingers: perhaps to help identify him or perhaps as a subtle threat to his family or friends. The man is seated in front of an orange and purple drape, evidently to hide his surroundings. A copy of the Parisian daily Le Parisien has been propped up on his arms in front of his chest, thus indicating the date. Emerging from off frame, a gloved-hand holds a gun pressed against the man’s temple. The man in the photo is Ilan Halimi: the 23-year-old French Jew who was kidnapped, tormented, and killed by a self-styled “gang of barbarians” in the Parisian banlieue in early 2006.

The revelation that the photo has already been shown raises new questions about the decision of a Parisian court to prohibit further sale of the Choc issue. The publisher of Choc will be fined €200 for each issue of Choc that remained on the newsstands after 2 pm today (Friday).

Two interesting lists of Muslim attacks in the US foiled and not.

Posted on by

First, a list of attacks on Jews on the US by the religion of peace brought to you by bare naked Islam:

The arrest yesterday of four would-be jihadis before they could attack two synagogues in New York City brings to mind a long list of terrorist assaults in the United States by Muslims on Jews. These began in 1977 and have continued regularly since, as suggested by the following list of major incidents (ignoring lesser ones that did damage only to property, such a series of attacks on Chicago-area synagogues):

  • March 1977: Hanafi Muslims seized three buildings in Washington, including the headquarters of B’nai B’rith, and held hostages for 39 hours, leading to one death and one severe injury.

  • November 1990: El Sayyid Nosair assassinated Rabbi Meir Kahane in a New York hotel.

  • February 1993: Ramzi Yusuf, the mastermind of the bombing of the World Trade Centerin New York, which claimed 7 lives and injured more than a thousand people,, declared the towers not a civilian target but a military one, by virtue of the fact that it might house a “Zionist official.”

  • June 1993: “Boom! Broken windows. Jews in the street,” is how one of the plotters described the carnage that would ensue from a planned “day of terror” with simultaneous bombings of the United Nations complex, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, and other New York landmarks.

  • March 1994: Rashid Baz, a Palestinian immigrant, opened fire on a van carrying Orthodox Jewish boys across the Brooklyn Bridge, killing 16-year-old Ari Halberstam.

  • July 1997: ‘Ali Hasan Abu Kamal, a 69-year-old Palestinian, shot seven tourists atop theEmpire State building, killing one and severely wounding another; in his suicide note, he accused the United States of using Israel as “an instrument” against the Palestinians.

  • July 1997: Ghazi Ibrahim Abu Maizar’s near-explosion of a pipe bomb in the New York City subway system.

  • July 2002: Hesham Mohamed Ali Hadayet’s attack on the El Al counter at Los Angeles International Airport, killing two.

  • September 2005: Jam’iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh plot against two Los Angeles-area synagogues, disrupted due to a dropped mobile phone.

  • July 2006 : Naveed Haq assaulted the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle, murdering one and injuring five.

  • May 2009: Four arrested in attempt to blow up two New York City synagogues.
