I had the privilege of hearing David speak at a conference in D.C. in 2009. He was captivating. Not because he was charismatic, he isn’t especially. Because the sheer force of his lucidity forced people to pay attention, and when he spoke, most other points of view dwindled into triviality. The US has been a nation where the force of reason has the better part of determining the political and legal landscape while populism and fashion maintain the front lines of mass media. I certainly hope it stays that way. And I hope to get to hear Mr. Yerushalmi speak again.

Al Shabaab: Recruitment and Radicalization within the Muslim American Community and the Threat to the Homeland
From Homeland Security.gov
311 Cannon House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 | Jul 27, 2011 10:00am
On Wednesday, July 27, 2011, the Committee on Homeland Security will hold the third in the series of hearings on domestic radicalization entitled “Al Shabaab: Recruitment and Radicalization within the Muslim American Community and the Threat to the Homeland.” The Committee will meet at 10:00 a.m. in 311 Cannon House Office Building.
Note: Please note the time change from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.
Chairman King on the hearing:
“In our first two hearings, the Committee has examined radicalization of Muslim-Americans generally and focused on the problem of radicalization in U.S. prisons.
“At this hearing, the third in a series, we will examine Somalia-based terrorist organization al Shabaab’s ongoing recruitment, radicalization, and training of young Muslim-Americans and al Shabaab’s linking up with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP).
“In Minnesota, Ohio, and other states, dozens of young Muslim males have been recruited, radicalized, and then taken from their communities for overseas terrorist training by al Shabaab. In a number of cases, the men – including both Somali-Americans and other converts — have carried out suicide bombings or have otherwise been killed, often without their families even knowing where their sons have gone. There has not been sufficient cooperation from mosque leaders. In at least one instance, a Minnesota imam told the desperate family of a missing young man not to cooperate with the FBI.
“There are growing concerns that al Shabaab in Somalia is linking up with al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) in Yemen to better train these radicalized young men in order to attack Americans around the world, as well as launch attacks against our homeland.
“This coordinated and ongoing recruitment and radicalization of young Muslim men in the U.S. is a serious and growing threat to our homeland security and simply cannot be ignored.”

Dear friends,
A while ago I informed most of you that I would be taking part in a coalition with other faith groups to protest Muslim prayers in Toronto schools. We had a press conference on Monday July 18 at 5:30 pm which you can view herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NLZZ7uHfuQ
For more in the news on this topic see http://www.sunnewsnetwork.ca/video/featured/news/868018287001/tdsb-seeks-to-clarify-stance-on-prayers-in-school-lrm/1064210842001
We announced that we were going to have our first public protest on Monday July 25 at 5:30 pm outside the Toronto District School Board central office. Their address is:
Toronto District School Board
5050 Yonge Street
Toronto, Ontario
M2N 5N8
We are encouraging as many people as possible to join and support us at this important protest. Various people will be there who come from other faith backgrounds to support this cause. Even a number of Muslims are objecting and supporting our protest. Toronto tax payers do not wish to support the implementation of Islamic (shariah) law in our public schools or anywhere in our society. Religious practices are not to be exercised in public schools as set out in the Ontario Education Act. The Lord’s Prayer, Bible readings were removed from Ontario schools in 1988 after the Ontario Court of Appeal made its ruling because people protested that it showed favouritism to Christianity and made others uncomfortable. If Christians are not allowed to express their religious beliefs and practices why are Muslims receiving special treatment? It is imperative that we act on this and voice our opposition to this illegal imposition. Please come and make your voice heard. If you cannot come we covet your prayers.

Since youtube took my channel down, I have about a thousand videos that were taken off line. Many were downloaded by other like minded people and reposted to their own YT channels, but many were lost altogether, some early ones I didn’t even have backups for.
So I decided to remake this one as I put a fair bit of work into it initially and it appeals to me at a few levels. For what it’s worth, I will stop making videos which profane Islamic ‘sacred’ materials as soon as Islam grants the respect to everyone else they demand for themselves, and when they stop demanding that other people hold their fetish objects as sacred on pain of whatever they can think of at the time. Usually death.
Mosquebusters: Appeal for volunteers!
Here is a chance to really fight for Western civilization
Appeal for volunteers!
- Positions to work remotely by internet. We’ll provide the documents. Skills needed: good at email.
- Positions to work visiting local communities around England. We’ll give you the action plan. Skills needed: community organising – if President Obama could do it, you can.
Mosquebusters is the Law and Freedom Foundation’s a campaign to fight off planning applications for new mosques across England. Helping local groups set up campaigns, and providing legal expertise to make it count. Councils have no legal power to grant permission for mosques, and they need to be resisted. Continue Reading →

Protests planned at TDSB and Valley Park Middle School

Religious groups plan to protest in-school prayer sessions.
BY TOM GODFREY , TORONTO SUN
FIRST POSTED:
TORONTO – Security guards were planning to keep a close eye as Toronto-area Hindus and followers of other faiths gather for a press conference Monday afternoon to protest against Muslims students being allowed to pray in a North York public school.
Members of the Canadian Hindu Advocacy, Jewish Defence League, Christian Heritage and from two other Christian ministries are scheduling a protest of the controversial prayer sessions on July 25 outside the Yonge St. headquarters of the Toronto District School Board.
The groups gathered at the Toronto Zionist Centre, on Marlee Ave., to demand an end to the Friday lunchtime prayer sessions in the cafeteria at Valley Park Middle School, on Overlea Blvd.
They also plan to picket the school in the fall. Continue Reading →
Who’s Afraid of the KKK?
Sergio Redegalli is someone we’ve met before.
His ‘Say No To Burkas’ mural provides endless cause for griping among the lefties where he lives, and he has had to repaint it dozens of times so far.
The definition of insanity is, of course, doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
In Sergio’s case, those who object to his painting continue to deface it, and he – in defiance of them – simply repaints it.
They do the same thing, and get the same results.
With a few little changes now and then.
How about a black KKK outfit? Will that offend people? It shouldn’t. After all, it’s a complete body covering in black.
It’s the way someone may wish to present to the world, so who could possibly object?
I guess we’ll see on this one.
Stay tuned….

ROCKER DALTREY’S MIGRANT FURY
ROCKER DALTREY’S MIGRANT FURY
By Aaron Tinney
RAGING pop star Roger Daltrey claims PM David Cameron does not have “the balls” to tackle mass immigration.
The Who’s working class hero Roger Daltrey sparked a storm a fortnight ago when he blasted Labour for “screwing” Brits by opening the floodgates to foreigners.
Yesterday he turned on the Tories, saying Mr Cameron and his team lacked the guts to deal with the issue.
He also took a pop at leftie rocker Bono for claiming he is a socialist while dodging taxes in his homeland.
Daltrey, 67, accused the Coalition Government of having their “heads up their a**e” when it comes to immigration.
He added: “They don’t realise how hard the average man has to work to pay those taxes.
“I don’t see anybody in the Government with a pair of balls. They’re so spineless.”
Daltrey’s fury comes after Mr Cameron vowed to cut immigration to “tens of thousands”.
But bleak statistics reveal one in five Brit workers were born outside the UK.
Daltrey said the tidal wave of foreigners had also piled pressure on his beloved National Health Service.
He added: “Nobody is in charge and nobody wants to accept responsibility.”
Daltrey, now worth £32million, renewed his attack on the previous Labour Government for allowing immigrants to tear apart British communities.
The singer added: “They slaughtered the working class here. It is always the little man who is hurt.”
Daltrey slammed Bono as a “tax dodger” for shifting his group U2’s business base away from Ireland to the Netherlands.
He sneered: “I find it very interesting that people who spout socialism don’t want to pay for a socialist state.”

This is very interesting. And inspiring. I wonder what Sam Harris would say about this. The problem I have with weighing the value of religion is, that it is much more difficult to quantify the good it does than quantifying the harm. All this of course, utterly separate from the truth or falsity of the claims a given religion makes.
Ever enjoyed a Spanish wine or a paella? Maybe you are entitled to do this:
Since the suicidal cult of multiculturalism has allowed Muslims to break a large portion of our own laws with impunity on a day to day basis from turning public schools into mosques to wearing a full disguise on the street and in banks I think its time we used the same horrid laws and reasoning to get the same rights for ourselves, with the likely result that the multi-culty laws will be scrapped, as they should be, for all.
Anyone who has ever enjoyed a glass of Tinto, Spanish red wine or a fine Paella or even listened to a Paco De Lucia record could argue they have a right to express Spanish culture. Anyone who has been brought up in a Christian culture can argue that they should be allowed to express that culture here in Canada. As a fan of all three Spanish cultural manifestations I mention, and someone who was immersed in Christian culture from birth, I think I have the legal right to wear the clothes shown below on the bus, in banks and jewelry stores and public schools. I’m pretty sure I would be arrested, but I can’t see how the same arguments used by Muslims would not apply in every single context to these fine costumes, all of which date back much farther than the Muslim ones we are all so used to now, and continue to this day in Spain.
