“The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious.” -Marcus Aurelius
The spokesman for CAIR defending the 911 victory mosque was so awful on FOX that I thought I would add my 2 cents into the debate. In retrospect, I could have and should have said far more. But here it is. This is the same video of CAIR on FOX being debated by the Fireman from 911 but just with a few comments of mine added.

The Senate should not confirm Elena Kagan, because her views render her the first Supreme Court Justice who actively favors the introduction of Shariah law into national Constitutions and legal systems. To excuse themselves for voting for her confirmation, Senators of both parties have told themselves this vote for Kagan’s confirmation will result in a harmless swap: the substitution of one liberal justice for another.
The reality is far more threatening and unprecedented in American history. A vote to confirm Elena Kagan’s nomination will bring a liberal, pro-Shariah justice to our highest Court. And if she is confirmed, her behavior as Obama’s Solicitor General indicates she will refuse to recuse herself on any Shariah-related decision but instead will lead the charge to legitimate Shariah law in America.
Senators have told themselves they have little evidence on which to evaluate Kagan, because other than her work as Obama’s Solicitor General, she has no judicial experience.
But Kagan has made repeated and very public decisions about a judicial system – Shariah – and Senators should be obligated to take into account those decisions when they vote for her. Her 2003-2009 career as Dean of Harvard Law School is a history of those decisions, and every one of them shows her “deep appreciation” of Shariah law.
Every vote for Kagan is a vote to bring a pro-Shariah view to the Supreme Court. Here are five reasons to vote against Kagan’s nomination:
1. PRO-SHARIAH MISSION: With Kagan’s direction, Harvard’s Islamic Legal Studies Program developed a mission statement (here on 9/2008, also 6/2009) dedicated “to promote a deep appreciation of Islamic law as one of the world’s major legal systems.” That mission statement guided her actions and those whom she directed as Dean.

Babeu told CNSNews.com that rather than help law enforcement in Arizona stop the hundreds of thousands of people who come into the United States illegally, the federal government is targeting the state and its law enforcement personnel.
“What’s very troubling is the fact that at a time when we in law enforcement and our state need help from the federal government, instead of sending help they put up billboard-size signs warning our citizens to stay out of the desert in my county because of dangerous drug and human smuggling and weapons and bandits and all these other things and then, behind that, they drag us into court with the ACLU,” Babeu said.
The sheriff was referring to the law suits filed by the American Civil Liberties Union and the U.S. Department of Justice challenging the state’s new immigration law.
“So who has partnered with the ACLU?” Babeu said in a telephone interview with CNSNews.com. “It’s the president and (Attorney General) Eric Holder himself. And that’s simply outrageous.” Continue Reading →
Here is a campaign video from Lt. Col. Allen West, a name readers of Vlad I’m sure will be familiar with for a variety of reasons.
This video says a great deal about how the rules of engagement even in Iraq basically made the job difficult as well as dangerous for allied forces. Sooner or later, we need to decide to win wars if we are to enter them.
New York, NY, July 28, 2010 … The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today issued the following statement regarding the proposed Islamic Center near Ground Zero in Manhattan:
We regard freedom of religion as a cornerstone of the American democracy, and that freedom must include the right of all Americans – Christian, Jewish, Muslim, and other faiths – to build community centers and houses of worship.
We categorically reject appeals to bigotry on the basis of religion, and condemn those whose opposition to this proposed Islamic Center is a manifestation of such bigotry.
However, there are understandably strong passions and keen sensitivities surrounding the World Trade Center site. We are ever mindful of the tragedy which befell our nation there, the pain we all still feel – and especially the anguish of the families and friends of those who were killed on September 11, 2001.
The controversy which has emerged regarding the building of an Islamic Center at this location is counterproductive to the healing process. Therefore, under these unique circumstances, we believe the City of New York would be better served if an alternative location could be found.
In recommending that a different location be found for the Islamic Center, we are mindful that some legitimate questions have been raised about who is providing the funding to build it, and what connections, if any, its leaders might have with groups whose ideologies stand in contradiction to our shared values. These questions deserve a response, and we hope those backing the project will be transparent and forthcoming. But regardless of how they respond, the issue at stake is a broader one.
Proponents of the Islamic Center may have every right to build at this site, and may even have chosen the site to send a positive message about Islam. The bigotry some have expressed in attacking them is unfair, and wrong. But ultimately this is not a question of rights, but a question of what is right. In our judgment, building an Islamic Center in the shadow of the World Trade Center will cause some victims more pain – unnecessarily – and that is not right.
(The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world’s leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services that counteract hatred, prejudice and bigotry.)
Posting has been light today because I was working on this one post. The clip at the bottom took a great deal of time. I felt it was worth it when I watched the Muslims leading the demonstration in the clip at the top, turn it from a peace rally, to a distinctly different one.
Watch the chants on this protest for peace. Notice how it starts out demanding an end to war and for peace and so on, then changes rather quickly to, “no peace without justice”, a common Islamic rhetorical device. As most in the west do not realize that Muslims redefine common terms to suit their purpose, while knowing full well we non-Muslims are understanding something fundamentally different when we hear that term, (think ‘marriage’ just for one example) I thought it might be useful to explain what Muslims mean by the term, ‘justice’.
Below, some clips from two very important documentaries, Farewell Israel, and Atomic Jihad. I have grabbed a few clips that attempt to explain the Islamic concept of ‘justice’ which have about as much to do with a Western concept of justice as womens rights do in Afghanistan vs. USA

No doubt Obama will blame it on the cheese
Yes I know lots of you do not have time to watch all the videos I post on this site and to be fair, it would take up a large part of one’s day to do so. But please, watch this one. Newt is fantastic and calls it like it is. He makes me want to make a T shirt saying: “2+2=4? RACIST! My little objection to the dialectic scam. In any case please do watch this superb video of Newt G. Really, it is worth your time.
Below, I did a 9 minute sort of highlights of his speech as a teaser:
This man may well be the next president of the USA, and I might add, if he is, he would be the next Ronald Reagan, so desperately needed after Carter. No need to spell out who the Carter is in this analogy.
Yes yes I know that was ages ago. But its been a bee in my bonnet since he gave it. Before Obama was elected I was pretty sure he was a bad idea, but after he was elected I held out hope that he had a grand strategy which was to be conciliatory to a degree, and then, when Iran continued on its natural course of aggression, Obama was going to suddenly defend the free world with real gusto and get all kinds of support from the left in the US and Western world because he had gone to such great lengths to supplicate and appease the Islamic world.There would be a great shrug and an ‘I did all I could, and now, the time to fight has come’. I was not expecting, “The US will never be at war with Islam…” etc. at Nausea.
When I saw the Cairo speech I had to re think that strategy. Clearly Obama was either knowingly making up stuff about Islam and its history or he actually believed the stuff he said, which given that he grew up at a Madrassa in Indonesia he probably does, and either way he simply was not representing the nation that elected him or it’s interests.
In any case, Fjordman did a refutation of Obama’s Cairo speech here. Anything by Fjordman is well worth reading but this especially is worth the click and the time.
Eeyore for Vlad.

So sayeth the Superior Court of New Jersey Appellate Division.
On July 31, 2008, a couple was married by arrangement in Morocco when the bride was 17 years old. They moved to Bayonne, New Jersey, where the new husband found work as an accountant. The husband’s mother came to live with them.
On November 1st of that year, “acts of domestic abuse” commenced. The young girl finally called the police who, on November 22, 2008 (three weeks later) were still able to photograph numerous, visible bruises all over her body, including on her breasts. Her first punishment session lasted for one hour, during which time she cried all the time. This did not stop her husband. He said that he was doing this “to correct her.” The second time, he attacked both her breasts and genitalia, including pulling her pubic hair. Her vagina was very red and swollen—and that is when he administered his ultimate “pedagogical” punishment: He raped her. In addition, on a separate occasion, he slapped her face, “causing her lip to swell and bleeding to occur.” At that time, she escaped “without shoes or proper clothing” through a window and was taken to a hospital by the police.

A pregnant British mother has been convicted in the U.S. of lying to the FBI about drawing up a hit-list of possible terrorist targets.
The intelligence agency alleged that Nadia Rockwood, 36, along with her husband, compiled a list of 15 Americans who they believed were enemies of Islam.
The couple pleaded guilty to charges of lying to investigators and making false statements about domestic terrorism when they appeared in court in Anchorage, Alaska.
FBI alleged that Paul Rockwood (left) along with his British wife, Nadia, compiled a list of 15 Americans who they believed were enemies of Islam
Under a plea bargain deal, Muslim convert Paul Rockwood, 35, who worked for the U.S. Weather Service, will get eight years behind bars, the maximum allowed.
His wife will be allowed to come back to the UK to serve five years of probation.
She was reportedly planning to return to live near her mother in England when the couple were arrested.
The alleged targets were not named in court, but none of them lived in Alaska.
Nadia, who is five months pregnant and has a four-year-old son, was brought up as a strict Roman Catholic in Harrow, North London and attended the Italia Conti performing arts school, where she studied ballet and jazz.
She worked as a professional dancer before moving to Japan to work as a bridal model, where she met Paul, who was then with the U.S. Navy.
Belicose North Korea vows to use nuclear weapons should South Korea and the US do war games in preperation for a potential N. Korean nuclear strike. And people ask me why Iran should not be allowed to have nukes. It freaking stuns me frankly.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, center, arrives to attend the opening of the ASEAN Regional Forum on Friday July 23, 2010, in Hanoi. The forum is attended by foreign ministers from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and their counterparts from partners countries including U.S., China, Russia, Japan and South Korea. (AP Photo/HOANG DINH Nam, Pool)HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — North Korea threatened Saturday to mount a powerful nuclear response to upcoming joint U.S.-South Korean military drills, calling the exercises an “unpardonable” provocation on top of wrongly blaming Pyongyang for the sinking of a South Korean warship.
North Korea‘s powerful National Defense Commission, led by leader Kim Jong Il, warned that its troops would counter the move to hold military maneuvers involving a nuclear-armed U.S. supercarrier with a “retaliatory sacred war.”
“The army and people of the DPRK will legitimately counter with their powerful nuclear deterrence the largest-ever nuclear war exercises to be staged by the U.S. and the south Korean puppet forces,” North Korea‘s official news agency in Pyongyang quoted an unnamed commission spokesman as saying, referring to the country by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Pyongyang routinely threatens war when South Korea and the U.S. hold joint military drills, which North Korea sees as a rehearsal for an attack on the North. The U.S. keeps 28,500 troops in the South to deter against aggression, but says it has not intention of invading the North.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates and South Korean Defense Minister Kim Tae-young announced earlier this week in Seoul that the allies would stage a massive four-day military show of force starting Sunday to send a “clear message” to North Korea to stop its aggressive behavior.
Washington and Seoul blame Pyongyang for the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship in the waters off Korea‘s west coast. Forty-six sailors were killed in what Seoul calls the worst military attack on South Korea since the 1950-53 Korean War. Continue Reading →
