Pakistan: our 'ally' that treats women so well.
Here is a snapshot of a video produced in Australia. The subject is how women are often treated in Pakistan. All these women are asking is to be treated as equals. In Islam and the Koran women are highly devalued and Mohammad states that treating as second class citizens and chattle is just fine. Where are the voices of our feminazis, liberals and progressives?

Syria, Obama's new found buddy state pays back Obama's recognition with interest
Labels:

Syria
The Obama administration's foreign policy is one train wreck after another. It is hard to keep track of them all. His policy of apology, appeasement and groveling to the islamic world and Muslims has been rewarded with an abundance of terrorist attacks here in the States, along with a global surge of similar rewards. Syria is a wonderful example of reaping what you sow. In this case Obama has planted stupidity, arrogance and ignorance by warming up to Syria. Now he is reaping one embarrassment after another from Syria. The mullahs would be laughing if laughter was allowed in Islam. If you are not concerned about Syria and Turkey, you can start being worried about these two states now. The clock is ticking and not in our favor.

U.S. Government Rewards Syria; Syria's Client Threatens to Kill Americans
RubinReports
By Barry Rubin
Forgive me for writing so much about U.S.-Syria events but it is such a remarkable story that it deserves a lot of attention and it really does reveal a great deal about the problems of current U.S. foreign policy. And read on to the end because there’s been a shocking new development.
Imagine: the United States gives concessions to Syria, most recently the announced return of its ambassador to Damascus. The ambassador was removed after the assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Hariri. Syria has not cooperated fully in the investigation; it is suspect number one in the murder. Meanwhile, Syria continues to finance, train, arm, and transport terrorists going into Iraq to kill Americans (as well as Iraqis, of course). So nothing has changed but the United States is acting as if the matter has been resolved.
Of course the administration has reasons for behaving the way it does—though not always good ones. It wants to pretend there’s an easy way out over Iran by pulling Syria away from Tehran (despite Syria confirming and strengthening the alliance every day); hoping Syria won't escalate during Iraq pull-out (and ignoring it every time Damascus sponsors a major terror attack there); trying to prove that engagement works and avoiding conflicts.
Of course the problem is that this feeds Syrian arrogance and bad behavior. If you’ve never followed the speeches of Syrian leaders and the media there, you can’t imagine how they think: We are the center of the earth! America needs us and we don’t need them! Long live the resistance to destroy Israel and kick the United States out of the Middle East.
But, as I noted here and here, the latest American concession was met by a Syrian punch in the teeth: the summit of Iran, Syria, and Hizballah, the renewed threats and Syrian President Bashar al-Asad openly ridiculing the U.S. effort to moderate his policy.
Now, however, the Syrians and their friends have gone even further in spitting on the United States.
Only hours after Hizballah’s most powerful figure, Hasan Nasrallah, returned from Damascus, another Hizballah leader, Nawwaf Moussawi, has threatened the U.S. ambassador to Lebanon Michele Sison. This statement is in the context of a whole string of such hints that something bad will happen to her if American policy doesn’t change. “She does not [follow] diplomatic limits,” he said, adding “The US Embassy in Lebanon is a state within the state” which meddles in Lebanese politics and threatens the country’s security.”
Moussawi continued: “Whatever the Americans know about Lebanon, they pass it on to the Zionist enemy.” That isn’t just a complaint about the U.S.-Israel relationship but an accusation that U.S. diplomats are all enemy spies, which means if one of them were to be killed or kidnapped that would be justifiable since they are, according to Hizballah leaders, trying to destroy and defeat Lebanon. And Lebanese listeners know precisely what he is threatening.
By the way, Moussawi is a Hizballah member of parliament, a category which according to U.S. and British officials proves he’s a moderate since politicians can’t be terrorists they say.

English Defense League
I have been reading and watching the EDL for some time now. This brave group has been badly smeared by the MSM in England and abroad. These people stand in the face of Islamic bigotry, hatred and shariah law. The EDL has been called racist, Islamophobes, bigot, you name it, the EDL has been called it. Below you will find the mission statement for the EDL. They deserve our support as they deeply care about freedom, liberty,and individual freedom of thought. There will be links to the EDL site at the bottom of the post.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Mission Statement of the EDL
Who are the English Defence League? Exposing the myths
We the English Defence League are a grass roots social movement who represent every walk of life, every race, every creed and every colour from the working class to middle England our unity and diversity is our strength. We have members that represent our rich and cultural “patriotic” nation loving populace who can see the threat of “Islamism” for what it is, that is a vile and virulent ideology based off of 7th century barbarity, intolerance, hatred, subjugation and war.
The English Defence League members recognise this threat as one that must be stopped at all costs, our Christian, Jewish, Sikh, and Hindu friends all have tales to tell with regard to Islamic Imperialism and “Orthodox Teachings”, in particular the Wahhabi/Salafi doctrine of “killing unbelievers if they refuse to be subdued by Islam” as the Quran points out in surah 5 verse 33.......
“The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter”
Of course this all depends on the context of what “waging war” entails, and of course what constitutes “mischief in the land”. Well to Islamists the very notion of not believing in Allah means that you should be punished as that is considered an act of war, an act of mischief that should be duly punished as Allah ordains clearly here in this verse.
As a movement we don’t hate on all Muslims, we respect their right to practice their religion peacefully as long as it does not infringe on our culture, our way of life, our rule of law and our customs. If any non Muslim was to visit a Muslim country then that person would be expected to respect their rule of law, their culture, their way of life and who would disagree with that? What we don’t agree with are Muslims trying to import a doctrine of hate, intolerance and murder, then try to promote it and institutionalise it through unregulated Mosques that are funded by Wahhabist petro dollars as it stealthily creeps sharia into our legal system. This Islamic legal system persecutes women to the mere status of a man's “property”. It does not recognise marital rape, it does not recognise gay rights, it does not recognise many factors contained in the Universal Declaration Of Human Rights. We have had enough, why should anyone tolerate intolerance?
Again we must re-iterate that we do not have any problem with law abiding, respectful, peaceful Muslims who integrate and contribute positively in society, Muslims who love and respect our country are welcome. The EDL was never set up to discriminate against all Muslims.
We get asked many times by many different organisations and many different people what are the reasons for the English Defence Leagues existence? What are our goals, and aspirations?
We exist simply to pursue and extinguish an Islamist scourge, a scourge that has been left to fester and multiply like a malignant social cancer, with little intervention from our government who are at best apathetic, at worst they are willingly blind to the threat of militant Islam. When Anjem Choudary and his jihadist cohorts shouted abuse at our soldiers returning home from Iraq the united people of Luton took a stand against them, it was from that point onwards the British people united under one cause to highlight the danger of appeasing those who wish us harm, those who happily take from our welfare system yet hate our country, our people and way of life. You may follow these events from this link here......
If it were not for the inaction of government to deal properly with this form of Islamic fascism there would be no need for groups such as The English Defence League, Welsh Defence League, Scottish Defence League and Ulster Defence League to counter this threat on the streets and on-line. Appeasing those who follow an ideology of hatred, murder and intolerance hardly enhances “community cohesion”, it destroys it. Our movement is purely set up to pressure whatever government we have in power to deal with this menace and undo all the damage caused by apathy and appeasement. We oppose the introduction of sharia law into our legal system because sharia law allows a husband to “beat” his wife! Is that acceptable behaviour in the 21st century we ask????
We oppose the building of any more mosques until the problem of Islamism is dealt with. Mosques must be regulated properly, imams vetted for their suitability, and mosque attendees monitored for any radical inclination. The change has to start within the Muslim community but that is proving very hard when Saudi petro dollars are funding a “fundamental” interpretation of Islam within the United Kingdom Of Great Britain. We want our country back!!!
Here is a good example as to the reasons why we don’t want any more Mosques built until these issues have been effectively dealt with. This article is written by a former radical Muslim by the name of Ed Husain.....
Notice what he says and i quote from his article in the Times......
“We found that 97 per cent of imams, or leaders, were from overseas and 92 per cent were educated abroad, mostly in Pakistan or Bangladesh. Almost all mosques are controlled by first-generation immigrant men, leaving most British Muslims - women and young people - out of the management structure.”
If this isn’t enough to wake up weak governance then what is?
The EDL are wrongly painted as racists, Nazis and Muslim haters. This simply isn’t true. We do know that some groups have tried to cause trouble, and that some “agent provocateurs” have instigated trouble, groups such as Combat 18, Blood And Honour, Antifa, UAF, their Communist sympathisers and anarchists. As a movement we have been attacked by the far left and the far right, we have had to endure a state sponsored smear campaign used against us from the offset by the state controlled political elite media machine. Apparently we are Nazis because we love our country, because we have the backbone to stand firm in the face of Islamic adversity rather than ignore it, hoping it will go away.
We set out our stall very early on, we are not racist, we don’t like Nazis, we don’t want Nazis joining our demos. We embrace patriotism as something that transcends race, religion, creed and colour. A love for our country is not a crime, a love for freedom is not a crime, but a need for security and the removal of those who pose a threat is just common sense....... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkKmzNpUBM4
The EDL are a multi ethnic, multi religious movement and we are proud of that. We laugh at all those who attack us for being “race traitors”, we mock those who call us “Nazis and racists” we are the EDL, we are neither of those things, we never will be. In fact our main speaker at demonstrations, Guramit Singh is a Sikh of Indian origin. The far left dismissed him as an "uncle Tom", a phrase which I would find quite offensive. This is a tone they have adopted when referring to any of our members who are not "white" in order for them to continue with their campaign against us.
People also ask us if we will ever become a political party and the answer to that is, we don’t seek to become a political party, we support political parties who will deal with the threat of Islamism, our aim and focus is to put pressure on whatever government is in power to deal effectively with this cancer. For far too long this government has ignored its people, now its people demand to be heard in this bastion of democracy. Freedom of speech shall prevail, we will be supporting Geert Wilders on his visit to our country to show his film fitna after our government turned him away on the first attempt. Our government holds its people in contempt and we will not tolerate this any longer. Good governance is achieved by listening to the people and working for the people.
It is during these tenuous times where we look to our American brothers and sisters for help and support, we see EDL members imprisoned for very “minor” offences, then thrown in jail only to be beaten by known Islamic terrorists gangs. It is as if the government want to intimidate us into silence, however we will not be intimidated, we will never surrender.
We hear of people of all colours getting beaten up by Muslim gangs on the streets just because they are non Muslim and our government turn a blind eye to this!!! We will open their eyes, we will make them listen, we won't accept anything less than concrete action that yields very visible results. They have got us into this mess so it is down to them to clean it up.
Long live the free,

The Globe comes to the wrong conclusion
Labels:
Liberal dreams and wishes.
The Boston Globe, a well known liberal paper has written a pertty good editorial but missed the boat in it's conclusion about what will help defeat Islamic terrorism. Education by Muslim leaders? Really? I have to disagree with this. What Muslim leaders? Where are all those moderate Muslim leaders speaking out in the mosques against the terrorism that is spreading like the plague from so many mosques and Muslim Organizations here in the United States. Don't hold your breath for an answer.

Al Qaeda’s troubling new focus
Boston Globe
THERE WAS much to celebrate when would-be subway bomber Najibullah Zazi entered a guilty plea this week in a Brooklyn court. But not all is well. The case is a forewarning about the evolving nature of threats from Al Qaeda.
In a good bit of police work, law-enforcement authorities prevented an attack on New York’s subways and likely acquired enough intelligence to help thwart other terrorist plots. Even so, the scheme they foiled ought to send shivers down the spines of all Americans. Zazi, an Afghan immigrant, and two former high-school buddies from Queens journeyed to the north of Pakistan to enlist in the Taliban fight against US forces in Afghanistan. There, Al Qaeda re-directed and trained them to prepare explosives and carry out suicide bombings on the New York subway.
What this incident shows is that instead of aiming exclusively for massive, concerted attacks like the destruction of the World Trade Center, Al Qaeda is turning its efforts toward smaller, harder-to-detect plots against Americans in their everyday activities. The Zazi case also demonstrates how Al Qaeda is recruiting residents and citizens of the United States. These kinds of attacks by these kinds of terrorists may not be as lethal as those on Sept. 11, 2001, but they can traumatize a population just as effectively.
There is a real danger of more American citizens or legal residents like Zazi being radicalized by predatory Pied Pipers. Until recently, the United States was less prone to that sort of thing than most European nations, with their large Muslim populations. Lately, however, there have been troubling instances of people in America being recruited to terrorism, from the army psychiatrist Malik Nadal Hasan at Fort Hood, Texas, to the 14 Somali-Americans from Minnesota who were indicted for joining an Al Qaeda-linked organization. There was also Bryant Neal Vinas, a truck driver who was accused of casing the subway in New York for Al Qaeda.
In addition to infiltrating terrorist networks, homeland security requires that government and opinion makers help Muslim leaders educate young people against the siren song of Al Qaeda. More and more, that will be the first line of defense against terrorism.
Do you trust this administration to help our 'Muslim leaders' with our terrorist problem? I do not!

Stoning to death for dummies.
Labels:
Islam and shariah law,
stoning to death.
This video is great. It makes shariah law in regard to stoning to death very simple to understand. Stoning the guilty party to death is not unusual and happens with alarming frequency in the Islamic world. Iran, the Sudan and Yemen are quite fond of this barbaric treatment of criminals. Note the towards the nd of the video the part that mentions multiple offenses. So if you are sentenced to a lashing and stoning, you get lashed first, and then stoned to death. Charming. There is also a link to the penal code of Iran if you need to see more proof. This video was produced as part of a fourth year exercise by a student from the Bezalel Academy of the Arts in Jerusalem.

Ontario Legislature Condemns Israel-Apartheid Week
Gary Fouse
fousesquawk
With the organized "Israel Apartheid Week" coming to many campuses across North America, the Ontario Canada Legislature has taken the courageous step of standing up to the radicals and anti-Semites by condemning the event.
http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/771524
-The Star (Hat tip to the Orange County Independent Task Force on Anti-Semitism)
Beginning March 1, many North American campuses will bring together the usual coalition of Israel-hating Muslim Student Associations, America-hating leftist academics and other misfits. You will see and hear fiery speeches condemning Israel. You will hear speeches condemning America. And yes, some of the speeches will cross the line over into anti-Semitic Jew hatred. Of course, they will try to deny they are anti-Jewish-just anti-Zionist. But what is the distinction when they support suicide bombers, Hizbollah and Hamas or anybody else that is trying to kill every Zionist Jew they can find in Israel?
Yes, it will be another embarrassing week for the universities who host these vile events. They will wring their hands and talk about free speech. Columbia University, that great institution that has hosted Ahmadinejad, but denied the podium to Muslim apostate Nonie Darwish, will host one Ben White this year. He will speak Tuesday evening. White is a UK-based journalist who hates everything about Israel. His language has been so vociferous that he is widely accused of being an anti-Semite. He denies the charge, but has said in writing that he can understand why many people dislike Jews. Strange. I remember a few years back when a radio shock jock called the "Greaseman" made a similar comment about blacks. As a result, he had to go on an apology tour that lasted months.
As for my own campus, UC-Irvine, I don't yet know when their annual "event" will be-probably in May-that is if the MSU still has standing at UCI in the wake of their multiple incidents, the most recent being the disruption of the Israeli ambassador's speech on February 8th.
If you are part of a university community that is hosting such an event, I would suggest you take some time to attend as many of the speeches as you can. Listen to the hate. Find out what is really going on at your local university. If you don't like what you see and hear, let your feelings be known. Write a letter to the newspaper and the university president asking why such hate speech is practiced on the campus. Talk to Jewish students and see how they react to these events. The fact is that universities prefer that these events occur as discreetly as possible lest the public become aware.
Become aware.
People are entitled to their opinions on Israel vis-a-vis the Palestinians. That is no excuse for a rise in anti-Semitism. Make no mistake; anti-Semitism is on the march. It is also on the march in Europe-yes, that sophisticated continent we Americans all like to emulate because they are so......sophisticated. Over there, the rise in anti-Semitism is approaching 1930s levels. The call it "anti-Semitism without Jews" because the Jewish community is so small. (We know why, don't we?) Yet, Jews in many large European cities like Paris, Malmo, London, Brussels and others are afraid to go out wearing Jewish garb lest they be accosted verbally or physically by Muslim immigrants.
But it's not anti-Semitism, you see. It is "anti-Zionism". That's what you will hear most of the speakers say, but some will not be able hold back their hatred of Jews.
But it's free speech, folks. Nobody will be arrested for what they say next week-nor should they be. But their words must be countered and called for what it is. Hate.

With the organized "Israel Apartheid Week" coming to many campuses across North America, the Ontario Canada Legislature has taken the courageous step of standing up to the radicals and anti-Semites by condemning the event.
http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/771524
-The Star (Hat tip to the Orange County Independent Task Force on Anti-Semitism)
Beginning March 1, many North American campuses will bring together the usual coalition of Israel-hating Muslim Student Associations, America-hating leftist academics and other misfits. You will see and hear fiery speeches condemning Israel. You will hear speeches condemning America. And yes, some of the speeches will cross the line over into anti-Semitic Jew hatred. Of course, they will try to deny they are anti-Jewish-just anti-Zionist. But what is the distinction when they support suicide bombers, Hizbollah and Hamas or anybody else that is trying to kill every Zionist Jew they can find in Israel?
Yes, it will be another embarrassing week for the universities who host these vile events. They will wring their hands and talk about free speech. Columbia University, that great institution that has hosted Ahmadinejad, but denied the podium to Muslim apostate Nonie Darwish, will host one Ben White this year. He will speak Tuesday evening. White is a UK-based journalist who hates everything about Israel. His language has been so vociferous that he is widely accused of being an anti-Semite. He denies the charge, but has said in writing that he can understand why many people dislike Jews. Strange. I remember a few years back when a radio shock jock called the "Greaseman" made a similar comment about blacks. As a result, he had to go on an apology tour that lasted months.
As for my own campus, UC-Irvine, I don't yet know when their annual "event" will be-probably in May-that is if the MSU still has standing at UCI in the wake of their multiple incidents, the most recent being the disruption of the Israeli ambassador's speech on February 8th.
If you are part of a university community that is hosting such an event, I would suggest you take some time to attend as many of the speeches as you can. Listen to the hate.

Washington State prisons are under CAIR's desire to'help' Muslim prisoners.
So CAIR is seeking volunteers to help out inside the Washington State prisons. CAIR and the individuals involved are the main problem. The next post will explain it all out for you. CAIR has been linked to Hamas and other terrorist organizations and the list is extensive. This is another form of Stealth Jihad. Prisoners radicalized by Islam has been a growing problem all across the country. So why make it worse by adding Washington State into the mix?
CAIR Targets Washington State Prisons
IPT News
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) chapter in Washington State is seeking religious Muslim volunteers to work with state prison inmates. That has veteran corrections official Patrick Dunleavy concerned that the program could result in the radicalization of prisoners and create security problems.
It's not the presence of Muslim volunteers, but the track record of the people and organization involved.
Syed Arsalan Bukhari, executive director of the Washington CAIR chapter, issued an Internet call last week saying that "Muslim volunteers" are "direly needed in the 20 or so state institutions across our state to lead study/discussion/halaqah sessions for inmates, lead prayers and just generally insure that inmates are receiving the services they need."
CAIR's ties to Hamas and its chronic support for alleged terrorists and their financiers might give corrections officials pause about the wisdom of such a relationship with the organization. Those ties appear to be the focus of a federal grand jury investigation in Washington, D.C. Bukhari's own statements might add to that concern:
In December 2009, the Seattle Weekly reported that Bukhari was discouraging Seattle-area Muslims from cooperating with the FBI's efforts to investigate Al-Shabaab terrorist recruitment. "There's nothing to gain from talking to law enforcement," he said. "I can't emphasize enough…you have the right to remain silent, so use it."
In May 2009, Bukhari objected to a racial awareness program produced by the Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, claiming the group has "an anti-Muslim agenda." Bukhari and CAIR said the Wiesenthal Center should be disqualified from training Seattle police because of the organization's role in producing "Ever Again," a film on anti-Semitism and European Jihadists.
At a CAIR-Washington January 24, 2009 banquet, Bukhari refused to condemn terrorism:
"How many of you are asked, 'why don't you condemn, I won't use the 'T' word. I call it 'political violence.' I assure you that every Muslim organization has condemned 'political violence.'"
In May 2008, Bukhari and other CAIR officials met with the chief of the Port of Seattle to express their concerns about a course entitled "The Threat of Islamic Jihadists to the World," conducted by Security Solutions International. They complained that the course, which claimed to be based on "Israeli experience" fighting terrorism, would "promote stereotypes and religious and ethnic profiling."
Such statements set off alarm bells with Dunleavy, who spent 26 years working in New York State's Department of Correctional Services. In that role, he witnessed first-hand the radicalization of inmates. Radical Islamists like Warith Deen Umar were placed in charge of hiring prison imams, and terrorists like Rashid Baz and El Sayyid Nosair were given privileged positions as Muslim religious leaders. Dunleavy, who served as Deputy Inspector General of the New York State Department of Corrections, was part of a special investigation called Operation Hades that monitored radical Islamist recruitment inside prisons.
Dunleavy (who now lives in Washington State) said he has two major problems with the regulations instituted by the Washington Department of Corrections: As written they contain inadequate vetting procedures for volunteers and insufficient security safeguards, and the role of CAIR in the state program.
In New York, corrections officials have been fighting a difficult uphill battle to maintain security and prevent radicalization of Muslim inmates for close to 30 years. Essential to this effort are limits on the ability of volunteers to interact with inmates, he said.
As a result, volunteers are barred from being on an inmate's visitor list and may not correspond with an offender. They are also prohibited from accepting telephone calls from inmates or allowing a released offender to live in their homes. But the Washington State regulations, Dunleavy pointed out, expressly permit volunteers to engage in these activities.
These restrictions (which apply to correctional officers in Washington and virtually every state) are necessary "for the protection of the volunteer, the inmate and the facility," Dunleavy told the Investigative Project on Terrorism.
"Inmates are always looking for a way around the rules," he added. If an inmate is able to say, "Take a letter for me; make a phone call for me" and a sympathetic volunteer complies, "that raises significant security problems." A volunteer could easily find himself or herself "bringing a package to an inmate not knowing if there are drugs, guns or other contraband in there."
The FBI has cut off communication and cooperation with CAIR that doesn't involve a criminal investigation amid mounting concern about the organization's roots in a Hamas terror-support network. The decision to end contacts with CAIR was quietly made during the summer of 2008 as federal prosecutors prepared to retry the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, an Islamic charity whose senior officials were convicted of providing money to Hamas and sentenced to long prison terms.

To assasinate or not? When we are dealing with terrorists, enemies of the state, absolutely!
One of the biggest mistakes the Untited States made was when we 'quit' assasinating the enmeies of our country. No country has done this better than Israel. The use of this tactic by the Isaelis is a necessary tool when you are badly outnumbered, surrounded by millions of those who want the state of Israel to cease to exist, and bring death to as many Jews as possible. Whether Israel was responsible for the death of the Hamas Islamic terrorist Mahmoud al-Mabhouh in Dubai or not, good riddance. When assasination is used properly it eliminates one possibility of future attacks due to this person and can cause massive unrest and inter-factional squabbling that will disrupt the movement or organization. Though it is not a pleasant way to eliminate some of your worst enemies, it does have it's place in our modern, Islamoterrorist filled world.

When it's Necessary and desirable to Assasinate Terrorists
Barry Rubin
Rubin Reports
There has been a huge international controversy about the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, a leading Hamas terrorist, in Dubai on January 19. I have no idea who did it but have some points to make on the subject.
1. Generally speaking, media coverage almost never (in Europe) or only minimally (in the United States) talks about what Mabhouh actually did to merit his end. The New York Times had the following paragraph at the very end of its story:
“Mr. Mabhouh had a role in the 1989 abduction and killing of two Israeli soldiers, and was also involved in smuggling weapons into Gaza, Israel and Hamas have said. Israel officials say the weapons came from Iran.”
It would seem that there would be more discussion of the deeds of such people so they are not portrayed, at least implicitly, as innocent victims. Readers could weigh the assassination against their crimes, which would otherwise go unhindered and unpunished. Mabhouh was probably in Dubai arranging more arms' shipments from Iran so that Hamas could go to war again, causing deaths on both sides. He was a real war criminal, in contrast to the bogus ones fabricated by the terrorist-sponsoring dictatorships which seem to have so much influence on the "human rights" agenda.
2. As long as Western states do nothing to help bring Hamas or Hizballah terrorists to justice, and since Israel has no way of getting these people before a court, it has no option other than the extra-judicial one. Remember that an Israeli cabinet minister is more likely to face prosecution in the United Kingdom nowadays than a terrorist who has murdered Israeli civilians.
Some European countries--France and Italy have admitted as much regarding past deals--have secret agreements with terrorist groups to allow them to operate freely as long as they don't do attacks within the country. Other terrorists--like the Palestinians who hijacked the Achille Lauro cruise ship and murdered an American citizen or one of the Libyan masterminds of the Lockerbie plane bombing that killed scores of passengers, mainly Americans--have been released from prison without completing their terms.
This point of international culpability in letting certain terrorists escape or function isn't brought up, explained, or seriously discussed: What do you do if specific people are attacking you and there’s no other option to stopping them? If the United States could assassinate Usama bin Ladin or other top al-Qaida terrorists whom it could not capture shouldn't it do so? Of course it should.
3. There is a cliché when talking about counter-terrorism to the effect that getting a specific individual doesn’t matter as there is always someone to replace him. But in terrorism, as in other aspects of life, there are more effective and less effective individuals. Since Israel eliminated Hamas’s master bombmaker—who not only made bombs but trained others--in 1995, less capable people replacing him in that line of work have managed to blow themselves up a lot.

"[T]he Constitution ought to be the standard of construction for the laws, and that wherever there is an evident opposition, the laws ought to give place to the Constitution." --Alexander Hamilton
Government & Politics
ObamaCare in the Emergency Room
There are no two ways about it -- the health care summit that took place Thursday in Washington was a sham and a farce. But it's a fitting chapter for the bill being debated.
Barack Obama invited various congressmen to join him for a "discussion" about his latest health care takeover plot, which looks an awful lot like last year's Senate proposal, only more expensive. Obama released his "new" plan Monday to great fanfare, though there was precious little new about it.
About one new feature, the Associated Press editorialized, the proposal "would allow the government to deny or roll back egregious insurance premium increases that infuriated consumers" via a seven-member panel of all-knowing insurance premium gurus. Funny thing is that all 50 states already require insurance companies to justify premium increases. Obama's proposal amounts to little more than federal price controls. Yet with his best Wizard of Oz impression (pay no attention to the stuff behind the curtain), Obama asserted, "Contrary to the claims of some of my critics, I am an ardent believer in the free market." Sure -- if you say so.
CNN actually came closer to the mark: "If enacted, the president's sweeping compromise plan would constitute the biggest expansion of federal health care guarantees since the enactment of Medicare and Medicaid more than four decades ago." The key words are "biggest expansion."
Another part of Obama's proposal is the supposed elimination of the "Cornhusker Kickback," the $100 million in Medicaid relief for Nebraska that bought Sen. Ben Nelson's vote. When reading the fine print, however, we see that the kickback has simply been extended to every state by transferring all new Medicaid spending through 2017 directly to the federal ledger.
Obama is trying mightily to win over "obstructionist" Republicans -- or so his media minions tell us. More likely, however, it's the 38 House Democrats who voted against ObamaCare in November that are his target. Since the House passed its trillion-dollar version by a not-so-comfortable majority of five votes (220-215), Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) has lost three votes with the retirements of Reps. Robert Wexler (D-FL) and Neil Abercrombie (D-HI), and the death of Rep. Jack Murtha (D-PA). Also, Rep. Joseph Cao (R-LA), the lone Republican in either chamber to vote for the bill, says he will not support it again, and pro-life Democrats -- whose leader, Michigan's Bart Stupak, wasn't invited to Thursday's photo-op -- continue to vow opposition if abortion funding is included. Pelosi conceded Wednesday that she doesn't yet have the votes for passage. That's, of course, if you believe anything she says.
The administration pushed the idea of using the reconciliation process to ram the bill through the Senate if Republicans don't heel. Reconciliation, which is a procedure contrived in 1974 to circumvent filibustering on budget bills, would allow Senate Democrats to pass ObamaCare with only 51 votes. Doing so would greatly enhance Republicans' election prospects in November, though enough Democrats may calculate the price is worth paying.
The White House isn't without Plan B. If the complete takeover fails, Democrats will just grab smaller pieces of the pie. The alternative would be to extend insurance coverage to about 15 million Americans by requiring insurance providers to allow people to remain on their parents' plans until age 26, and by expanding Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program. (Most Democrats do behave like children, so these proposals certainly make sense to them.)
Perhaps the tone and purpose of the summit can be encapsulated by an exchange between Obama and Rep. Eric Cantor (R-VA), the number-two House Republican: The president chastised Cantor for using "props" that "prevent us from having a conversation." The prop? Cantor was sitting behind a copy of the current 2,400-page Senate bill. Heaven forbid Republicans bring the actual bill to a summit about the bill. Next time, though, Eric, bring the Constitution.

Here is a perfect example of Stealth Jihad, which I and other counter jihadists have often mentioned. A poor Muslim lady was not allowed to wear her head scarf or hijab. She was asked to remove it, refused and they fired her. Good riddance! Think for just a minute if a Christian or Jew did the same thing with a cross or kippa, prayer shawl, you get the picture. There is a another book I want to recommend and that is Inside the Muslim Mafia. I have not read it yet as it is in the waiting to read stack. I have read parts of it and it is a great book if you want to see how subversive Islam is, from the inside out. As I have said before; If you cannot abide by our rules and assimilate peacefully into our culture the GET THE HELL OUT. Go back to pestilent, vermin hell hole Islamic country you immigrated from.

CAIR attacks retail chain as part of agenda
Examiner.com
Taking a page out of the Rev. Jesse Jackson's playbook, the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations on Tuesday filed an Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaint against clothing chain Abercrombie & Fitch on behalf of a Muslim employee who was allegedly fired because she refused to remove her Islamic head scarf, or hijab.
The Muslim employee reported to CAIR that she was hired to work in the store's stockroom in October of last year at the Hollister outlet in San Mateo. She claims that she was told at that time that she could wear her scarf if it was in a color that matched the company's brand identity.
According to a CAIR official, when visiting the store a district manager noticed that the Muslim employee was wearing a head scarf. The district manager then reportedly initiated a conference call with the company's human resources department during which the Muslim worker was told that scarves and hats are not allowed in the "look" policy.
Despite informing company managers that she wears her scarf for religious reasons, the Muslim employee was sent home immediately.
This week, she was told she must remove her scarf during work hours. When she refused to violate her religious beliefs by removing her scarf in public, she was fired.
"This unconscionable and apparently illegal action by company managers violates not only federal civil rights law as it relates to religious accommodation in the workplace, but also violates Abercrombie & Fitch's own stated commitments to diversity, inclusion and ethical business practices," said CAIR-SFBA Programs and Outreach Director Zahra Billoo.
"We urge Abercrombie & Fitch customers who value diversity and inclusion to contact the company to express their concerns about this violation of religious freedom," Billoo aded. Continue reading

Despite informing company managers that she wears her scarf for religious reasons, the Muslim employee was sent home immediately.
This week, she was told she must remove her scarf during work hours. When she refused to violate her religious beliefs by removing her scarf in public, she was fired.
"This unconscionable and apparently illegal action by company managers violates not only federal civil rights law as it relates to religious accommodation in the workplace, but also violates Abercrombie & Fitch's own stated commitments to diversity, inclusion and ethical business practices," said CAIR-SFBA Programs and Outreach Director Zahra Billoo.
"We urge Abercrombie & Fitch customers who value diversity and inclusion to contact the company to express their concerns about this violation of religious freedom," Billoo aded. Continue reading

The next two posts are about how Islam lets crimes that would punishable in the west, go unpunished under Islamic shariah law. First one is about a family who fled Pakistan after their 21/2 year old daughter was RAPED and left for dead by the roadside. The crime here? NO NO, not the rape!(you will read about that in a bit)The crime was that her father refused to convert to Islam.
The second post is about Islamic medical rules for Muslims. They could not care less about us infidels, Kuffirs, as we are called. JIhad is allowed in Islamic medicine. Disgusting!

Muslim Rapes Christian Toddler for Refusal to Convert to Islam
Christian girl aged 21/2 raped then left to die for the greater glory of Allah.
For some reason the BBC didn't report this story, probably to avoid damaging Community Cohesion.
"Baby Neeha, at the age of 21/2, was raped by the son of her father's employer and left to die by the roadside, he said. No one was arrested for the crime.
These horrific events took place because her father, who was Christian, refused to give in to pressure from his Muslim employer to convert to Islam," El Shafie said.
The family went underground in Pakistan to hide from Muslim extremists who were seeking revenge for their non-conversion, he said.
"The family has lived for years in hiding and in constant fear of being discovered by the employer's family or Islamic extremists," El Shafie said. "We are thrilled that she's finally in Canada."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those of us seeking a better understanding Islam, there are a few points to note:
The rapist wasn't prosecuted, because according to Islamic law he hadn't committed any crime. The 'prophet' Mohammed was a child-rapist, and Mohammed is the perfect man and role model for all Muslims. Also, rape is a legitimate weapon of Jihad, especially against children, as we saw in the Beslan school attack.
Not only had the rapist not committed any crime, but his action was actually commendable from the Islamic point of view, because spreading Islam (by whatever means may be necessary) is the greatest good which justifies ANY action. The system of morality (if it can be called that) in Islam is totally different from that in any other religion.
This attack also shows a common Islamic trait of getting at Christians by attacking children and other vulnerable people (as at Beslan and in the 'Street Jihad' intifada by young Muslim men).
No compulsion in religion
The fate of baby Neeha should make us wary of Muslims who tell us that the Koran says there should be 'no compulsion in religion'. Yes the Koran does say that, but the statement is null and void, as the Muslim propagandists (but not the gullible infidels) very well know.
The Koran is full of contradictions, and later violent verses (such as 'Kill the unbelievers wherever you find them') abrogate (cancel out) the earlier peaceful ones.
The early peaceful verses where written when Mohammed was trying to recruit his fellow citizens of Mecca to join his cult. But he didn't have much success among the people he'd grown up with, because they knew he was a nutjob.
So he moved to Medina and adopted a different strategy of recruiting criminals and psychopaths by promising them lots of rape, murder and pillage in the service of Allah. This worked perfectly and gave us the version of Islam we see in action in the world today.
Quoting abrogated parts of the Koran to deceive the infidels is one of the tactics of taqiyya (lying and deception in the cause of Islam).
As I said before, increasing the power of Islam justifies ANY action, which includes lying as well as rape, murder and anything else you can think of.
Consequently, Jens Orback is living in fluffy-bunny-land if he thinks that if we are nice to the jihadists when they're in the minority, they'll be nice to us when we're in the minority. There will be many thousands of baby Neehas as multiculturalism is implemented throughout Europe.

Muslim Death Doctors - Islamic Jihad by Medical Malpractice
First do no harm
Are you under the illusion that the first responsibility of doctors is to their patients? And that a doctor must observe the Hippocratic Oath and abstain from doing harm?
Well think again. These principles may provide ethical guidance for Christian, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh doctors, but infidel ethics are irrelevant to Muslims.
As with all other aspects of Islam, loyalty to fellow Muslims trumps any obligations to the 'najis kuffars' (filthy infidels), and spreading Islam is the highest virtue, no matter what means may be needed. Where Islamic supremacism is concerned, ends justify means.

Female Muslim medics 'disobey hygiene rules' - put kuffar kids lives at risk
Muslim medical students are refusing to obey hygiene rules brought in to stop the spread of deadly superbugs, because they say it is against their religion. Women training in several hospitals in England have raised objections to removing their arm coverings in theatre and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands, because it is regarded as immodest in Islam.
Universities and NHS trusts fear many more will refuse to co-operate with new Department of Health guidance, introduced this month, which stipulates that all doctors must be "bare below the elbow". The measure is deemed necessary to stop the spread of infections such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile, which have killed hundreds.
Minutes of a clinical academics' meeting at Liverpool University revealed that female Muslim students at Alder Hey children's hospital had objected to rolling up their sleeves to wear gowns. Similar concerns have been raised at Leicester University. Minutes from a medical school committee said that "a number of Muslim females had difficulty in complying with the procedures to roll up sleeves to the elbow for appropriate handwashing".
Sheffield University also reported a case of a Muslim medic who refused to "scrub" as this left her forearms exposed. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/1577426/Female-Muslim-medics-disobey-hygiene-rules.html
When Your Doctor is a Muslim: Medical Terrorism Comes to America
Sometimes–so many times–diversity is not what it’s cracked up to be.
Just ask Joseph Applebaum. Well, you could ask him. But you won’t get an answer. He’s dead. And he’s dead because he was a Jew, and his doctor is a Muslim and grad of “Ayman Al-Zawahiri” Medical School.
But Applebaum wasn’t denied treatment for being a Jew in Egypt. Or elsewhere in the Muslim world. It happened right here on U.S. soil. In Chicago.
As Muslim doctors continue to flood into the country under lax immigration laws, hospitals around the country have acquired their fair share of them. Many hospitals in the Detroit area are now dominated by Muslim doctors and have been for some time.
But even in hospitals where they do not predominate, Muslim doctors are starting to demonstrate behavior toward non-Muslim patients that is beyond alarming.
On December 1, 2003, Joe Applebaum was admitted to Rush North Shore Medical Center, a major hospital in Chicago. He was stricken with an acute (or distended) abdomen–a swelling of the stomach that is easily diagnosed and treated. But it was never treated by anyone at the hospital. For 12 hours, Joe Applebaum was left alone–left to die, which he did the next day.
A Jewish man, he was identified as a Jew on the front page of his medical chart. The chief resident doctor assigned to treat Mr. Applebaum, Osama Ahmed Ibrahim, MD, sure noticed the religious notation on Applebaum’s chart. And it appears that this is why he never once checked or examined this emergency patient, Mr. Applebaum, and left him to die...
Dr. Ibrahim, is a Muslim from Birmingham, England–a hotbed of Islamic radicalism and terror planning. It is breeding ground for anti-Semitic hate. http://www.debbieschlussel.com/1307/when-your-doctor-is-a-muslim-medical-terrorism-comes-to-america/
But it gets far, far worse than mere neglect of the kuffars!

Update on Officer killed in Central California:One Officer killed an two wounded in Central California
I apologize for not getting this up sooner but I literally crashed for several hours from exhaustion and lack of sleep. Tough to cope with severe pain and limited mobility all waking hours. Tough luck and keep these folks and all law enorforcement, military, intelligence people in our prayers. This from the Fresno Bee. My thanks to them for allowing me to post this here on the 'Corner.

1 officer dead, 1 critical in Calif. shooting

A gunman killed a detective and wounded two other officers east of Sanger on Thursday, prompting a seven-hour standoff that ended when authorities found the suspect dead inside a mobile home.
The shootout drew hundreds of armor-clad officers from Fresno, Clovis and other Valley police agencies flooding into the tiny community of Minkler. Authorities set up roadblocks on Highway 180, cleared the local airspace, locked down a nearby school and evacuated residents.
One of the wounded men was Reedley police officer Javier Bejar, about 28. Bejar was on "non-recoverable life support," said Reedley City Manager Rocky Rogers.
Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims did not name the two victims from her department, including the veteran detective who died. She said the injured deputy was in stable condition and is expected to recover.
The slain detective was reported to have been shot in the side. Bejar suffered a head wound. The other deputy had a shoulder wound. Both injured men were at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
Fresno Police SWAT members pile into a truck and drive to a location where there were several officers involved in a shooting near the town of Minkler about 30 miles east of Fresno.
The suspect is Ricky Liles, 51, of Minkler, according to property records, neighbors and one local official. Sheriff's officials would not confirm his identity.
The suspect's body was discovered about 5 p.m. inside the mobile home where the incident took place. A woman, believed to be Liles' wife, had emerged from the home about one hour earlier and was being questioned by the Fresno Police Department, which is investigating the incident at the sheriff's request.
Mims said she did not know whether the man shot himself or died during the exchange of gunfire with officers.
Volatile situation
The scene Thursday morning in the historic rural enclave was dangerous and chaotic.
Mims said the incident began about 9:40 a.m. when her detectives joined Cal Fire officials to serve a search warrant on a mobile home at 18276 Kings Canyon Road, between Reed and Lone Oak avenues.
Mary Novack, manager of the Minkler Grocery across from the scene, said she saw four cars with Cal Fire officers and sheriff's deputies roll up to the home.
Officers went to the door and knocked, but got no answer, Novack said. Over a loudspeaker, they ordered the occupants to come out, but no one did. They then broke down the door.
Novack said she heard gunshots. The officers then backed away and "everyone in the world showed up" as law enforcement officers from many Valley agencies flooded the scene, Novack said. She said she saw an officer on the ground who was later put into an ambulance.
Another witness, Bret McArron from Selma, said he heard officers fire 150 to 200 rounds into the home before he was ordered out of the area.
About 200 officers from nearly a dozen agencies responded to the shooting. An armored vehicle was also seen going to the scene and a California Highway Patrol airplane was called in. Highway 180 was closed between Piedra Road and Frankwood Avenue.
Mims said shots were fired from inside the home as deputies tried to serve the warrant, which was connected to investigations into a recent series of reported arsons and shooting incidents. She said Bejar was hit in a subsequent exchange of fire after he and many others came to provide backup.
Mims announced the detective's death in midafternoon.
"This morning, I had to deliver the message that no law enforcement leader wants to deliver, and that was to a wife of a deputy sheriff that her husband had been killed in the line of duty," Mims said.
Trouble brewing
Chuck Minkler, whose family founded the tiny community in 1892, said he rented the home to a man named Rickey Ray Liles. He said Liles lived there with his wife, Diane, and several small dogs. Minkler said there have been eight or nine fires on his 20-acre property over the past six months. They damaged a two-story storage structure and a small home.
There have also been reports of shots fired into the Minkler store and into his sister's home earlier this week, Minkler said.
"The fires got more frequent over the past six months and we were growing more concerned about my sister," he said.
The sister, Sally Minkler, was grazed in the back after shots were fired in "rapid succession" at her home, which neighbors said is adjacent to the home where Liles resides.
Minkler said he did not know whether Liles was responsible for any of the incidents.
"I got along with him. When there was anything that had to be corrected, I would talk to him and that's the way it worked," Chuck Minkler said. "There may have been some other issues, but not to do with me."
Liles and his wife had worked for a local security company, he said. State records showed a firearms permit for a man with Liles' name was canceled last August, but that the same person had a valid guard license.
Another neighbor said the suspect "has really been having it out" with the Minkler family. The Minklers had not been telling anyone about the situation because they knew the warrant was coming, the neighbor said.
School locked down
Centerville Elementary School was placed on lockdown when deputies contacted the school shortly after the shooting occurred, said Marcus Johnson, Sanger Unified School District superintendent.
"It's a preventative measure," Johnson said, noting that the school is more than a mile from Minkler.
Mims said neighbors were also evacuated around the home where the incident took place.
At Community Regional Medical Center, law enforcement officers and public officials waited to learn the status of the deputies who were shot.
Supervisor Judy Case said a room had been set up for them in the hospital. Sheriff's deputies outside were emotional.
"This is a really awful situation," Case said from the hospital waiting room. "Something you never want to see happen."
Supervisor Henry R. Perea also went to the hospital when he learned he knew one of the deputies, according to his staff.
Mims and a sheriff's chaplain also visited the emergency room.
Highway 180 will remain closed between Piedra, Reed, and Frankwood avenues until further notice.

One Officer killed an two wounded in Central California
This just showed up and thought I would post it. Will watch for updates.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
officers shot, 1 fatally, in central Calif. Arson suspect reportedly opens fire on deputies serving warrant
SANGER, Calif. - A suspect in an arson opened fire Thursday on deputies and a fire investigator trying to serve a warrant, authorities said. One officer was killed and two others wounded, one critically.
The dead officer was identified as a Fresno County sheriff's homicide detective. A Reedley police officer was in critical condition, and another sheriff's deputy was in stable condition.
The man opened fire as officers from multiple agencies were trying to serve a search warrant at his home in the rural community of Minkler in eastern Fresno County, sheriff's spokesman Chris Curtice said. The man was being investigated for an arson as well as for shots fired in the neighborhood earlier in the week, authorities said.
The gunman then barricaded himself inside the house and continued firing on law enforcement officials in an ongoing standoff, Curtice said.
It's unclear if any other people were inside the home.
Mary Novack, who runs a convenience store across from the home under siege, said she saw the deputies and a fire official smash down the door of the home after repeatedly demanding someone inside surrender. Then she heard gunfire.
"Oh my god, somebody's going to be dead," Novack recalled thinking at the time.
Jim Stone, 46, who lives about 100 feet from the surrounded home, said he was evacuated after the shooting erupted. Stone said he heard what sounded like hundreds of shots.
Daniel Berlant, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said state fire officials were at the scene but would not say why and referred questions to the sheriff's department.

Daniel Berlant, a spokesman with the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, said state fire officials were at the scene but would not say why and referred questions to the sheriff's department.

Pelosi claims Obamacare will create 400,000 jobs right away.

Democratic arrogance,

Obamacare
I purposely do not post much on Obamacare as that is on issue that is covered extremely well by so many others. But when something like comes along as Nancy Pelosi stated, then I cannot resist to post such a ludicrous statement such as this one. Obama claims he and the Democrats are using a 'lighter touch' on the healthcare issue. More lies and deception. Just like the 2 million jobs created by the stimulus bill. Where are they? Not in home state of Oregon!
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
A perfect example of what the Democrats do not get, why the American people do not want this healthcare bill or what Obama and the Democrats have been peddling since the one's election. I look for them to use reconciliation to 'rahm' Obamacare through.

Hit on Hamas Leader in Duabi deserves a medal for saving hundreds of lives, down the road.
Who killed Mahmoud al-Mabhouh? It is all over the internet, the Media, the MSM, who did this? Of course number one suspect is the Israelis. Did the Mossad have a hand and a gun in this oerfect crime of offing a nasty, murdering Islamic terrorist? If they did, bravo for the Israelis and the Mossad. In the big Picture, who gives a damn! Mahmoud al-Mabhouh was involved in the 1989 abduction and murder of two young Israeli soldiers, Avi Sasportas and Ilan Sa'adon. In a video taped two weeks before his death, and broadcast on Al-Jazeera in early February, Mabhouh admitted his involvement, saying he had disguised himself as an Orthodox Jew.
Al-Mabhouh was also involved in smuggling weapons and explosives into Gaza. In recent years, Mabhouh played a key role in forging secret connections between the Hamas government in Gaza and the Al-Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards in Iran. The activities of Al-Mabhouh has cost hundreds of innocents their lives and his murder was an act of self-defense.

The questions are all over the media, who killed Mahmoud al-Mabhouh? Was it Mossad agents who entered the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel in Duabi on January 19, 2010 and killed the Hamas Terrorist? The answer should be WHO CARES? Unless someone wants to buy them a drink or give them an award for ridding the world of that murderer there is no reason for find who prevented Al-Mabhouh from killing more people.
If the Mossad did take Mahmoud al-Mabhouh's life, it was only because the rest of the world continues to sit on their hands as Hamas murders more innocent Israeli civilians.

Israel's Right To Self-Defense
By GERALD M. STEINBERG
The headlines and video images allegedly showing Israeli spies in Dubai are titillating, but they mask the serious issues involved in the death of Hamas terrorist Mahmoud al-Mabhouh. Along with predictable European hand-wringing over forged passports, this case is the latest example of the failure of the international legal system and the United Nations to provide a remedy to mass terror.
Al-Mabhouh was a cold-blooded murderer—in an interview just last year on Al Jazeera he boasted about kidnapping and then killing two Israeli soldiers. He was also a major figure in arranging arms shipments from Iran to Gaza. Al-Mabhouh shared responsibility for the thousands of rocket attacks fired at civilians in Sderot and other Israeli towns, which resulted in last year's war in Gaza. In his travels, the Hamas terrorist was probably making arrangements for the next round of attacks.
But international law provides no means for stopping terrorists like Al-Mabhouh, or for his Hezbollah counterpart, Imad Moughniyeh, whose life ended with an explosion in Damascus in 2008. (In addition to numerous attacks against Israelis, Moughniyeh has been blamed for the 1983 Beirut bombings that killed hundreds of American and French peacekeepers and the murder of Lebanese President Rafik Hariri.) Cases involving Muslim terrorists, supported by Iran, would never be pursued by the prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, or raised in the framework of the United Nations. Al-Mabhouh violated the human rights of untold Israeli civilians, but the U.N.'s Human Rights Council—which is dominated by such moral stalwarts as Libya, Algeria, and Iran—has no interest in Israeli complaints.
It is equally hard to imagine Interpol issuing arrest warrants in response to Israeli requests. And if warrants were issued, history shows that German, French, Belgian, and other European governments would not risk the consequences of acting on them. Little effort was ever made to apprehend the perpetrators of the Munich Olympic massacre, or of the deadly bombing attacks against synagogues in Istanbul and Athens. It's a widely known secret that European governments had ungentlemanly agreements with the PLO that allowed the Palestinians to operate from their territories, provided the terror attacks occurred elsewhere. Not until 2003 did the EU even put Hamas on its terror list. Hezbollah is currently free to operate in Europe.
The bitter reality is that for Israel, international legal frameworks provide no protection and no hope of justice. Instead, these frameworks are used to exploit the rhetoric of human rights and morality to attack Israel. In European courts, universal jurisdiction statutes, initially created to apprehend and try dictators and genocidal leaders, are now exploited as weapons in the service of the Palestinian cause. In this way, Israeli defense officials are branded as "war criminals."
Similarly, Richard Goldstone's predetermined "fact finding inquiry" into the Gaza war makes no mention of Al-Mabhouh or Iran, which supplied Hamas with over 10,000 rockets for attacks against Israelis. Mr. Goldstone and his team have remained silent about what would be the "legal" way to bring jihadi murderers to justice. In their efforts to demonize Israel, Palestinian terror actually doesn't really exist. The Goldstone team simply refused to accept conclusive Israeli video evidence of Hamas war crimes.
The same legal distortions are found among the organizations that claim to be the world's moral guardians, such as Human Rights Watch. HRW's systematic bias is reflected in a Middle East division that sees no problem in holding fund-raising dinners in Saudi Arabia—one of the world's worst human rights violators and a country officially still at war with Israel—to help finance their campaigns against the Jewish state.
In the absence of any legal remedies or Western solidarity, Israel's only option to protect its citizens from terror has always been to act independently and with force. When in 1976 a group of Palestinian and German terrorists hijacked an Israel-bound Air France plane to Uganda and separated the Jewish passengers, Israel decided to act. In a daring mission, it rescued all but three passengers while killing all terrorists and several Ugandan soldiers who had been protecting the terrorists. Back then, Israel's detractors also fretted about the "violation of Ugandan sovereignty" even though dictator Idi Amin was in cahoots with the terrorists. Entebbe, though, quickly became the gold standard for successful counter-terror operations. Only a year later, Israeli-trained German special forces freed in Mogadishu, Somalia a Lufthansa plane hijacked by Palestinian terrorists. Similarly, when after years of horrific suicide bombings Israel pioneered the targeted killings of Hamas terrorists—often with the help of unmanned drones—Israel's Western adversaries complained about "extrajudicial assassinations." Today, though, U.S. forces have copied Israel's technique with their own drone killings of jihadi terrorists in the Afghan-Pakistan border region.
Unlike those Predator strikes, though, which hardly raise an eyebrow in the West these days, there was no "collateral damage" in the mysterious Dubai hit. No innocent civilians were hurt, no buildings were damaged. Justice was done, and al-Mabhouh's preparations for the next war ended quietly.
All this is lost on those diplomats, "legal experts," and pundits who blame Israel for Dubai, and angrily denounce the passport infractions. In the absence of viable alternatives, and a refusal to share any of the risks, they are in no position to condemn actions aimed at preventing more terror.

The Euro-Med Project will open the floodgates of Islamic hell to massive immigration.
I recently posted a great article from a blogger in Europe by Downeast blog.The arcticle focused on Germany but what is happening in Germany is happening all over Europe. The Euro-Med project will be a disaster for Europe.The goal of the Euro-Mediterranean cooperation is to create a new Greater European Union encompassing both Europe and North Africa, with the Mediterranean Sea becoming a domestic Eurabian sea. The goal is to establish a “comprehensive political partnership,” including a “free trade area and economic integration”; “considerably more money for the partners” (that is, more European money flowing into North Africa); and “cultural partnership” — that is, importation of Islamic culture into post-Christian Europe. According to the Stop Islamisation In Europe(SIOE), in the Euro-Med plan, “Europe is to be Islamized. Democracy, Christianity, European culture and Europeans are to be driven out of Europe. 50 million North Africans from Muslim countries are to be imported into the EU.” This will be a death knell to Europe as we once knew it. There is some tough reading in this next post. So be it. The truth must be told.
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"This new hatred comes from Muslim immigrants. The Jewish people are afraid now."
And as overwhelmed as Europe is with a hostile invading army -- the Euro-Med project is slated to flood Europe with an overwhelming jihad army. Under the Euro-Med partnership, Islamic countries will have full freedom of movement and be able to send millions of Muslims, without papers, into Europe. This is why America saved Europe? All the blood and treasure to deliver Europe into the jaws of the Muslim horde.
In dense Muslim communities in the US we are witnessing the same ugly trend.
Armaros correctly declares,
"The REICH is on the march, Jews are violated, intimidated and attacked while the gentiles are denied study of the holocaust by Muslim hordes who are now involved in a Europe wide campaign to remove holocaust education from societies and who now are calling the shots in the political world. They multiply like rats, infesting city after city bringing their Mufti Inspired hatred back into Europe to lay the ground for a new holocaust.
Ilan Halimi, Malmo, the London Marches, the Mancherster banning of Israeli speakers are all previews of the Gazafication of Europe city by city, town by town. All part of the plan to re-ignite antisemitism once more and to change Europe into a Islamo- socialist superstate.
Europe is importing their new Nazi occupiers. At least back in the day they had to come in tanks. Now they are brought in via multiculturalist fanatics who want to destroy their own societies in the service of Islam. Islam the new socialism, the new hatred and the new reality.
What gain can these savage hordes bring to a Western Country????
Do they create jobs? No. Do they work? No. Do they enrich the culture with their JIhad, misogyny, genital mutilation and honor killings?
Do they bring any positive value to anybody? None. They are scum. They are like the orcs in Lord of the Rings, destroy, consume and infect everything in their path. What advantage can they provide aside from votes to discredited leftist politicians who used to champion the USSR and would champion any force no matter how evil and depraved for their own deluded totalitarian goals.
Here is more on the Jews fleeing Europe (Sweden and Paris, for example) that I have been covering. Israel is essential. And I pray dearly that in the ungodly event that Tehran or its jihadi proxies (Hez'ballah, Hamas etc) target Israel with a nuke, that she retaliate with everything she has at Tehran, Mecca, and Medina...............
Not to mention Europe. They exterminated all their Jews, but that wasn't enough. Those monsters then went on to import the next generation of Jew killers.
Jews leave Swedish city after sharp rise in anti-Semitic hate crimes Telegraph
Meet Judith Popinski:
When she first arrived in Sweden after her rescue from a Nazi concentration camp, Judith Popinski was treated with great kindness.
She raised a family in the city of Malmo, and for the next six decades lived happily in her adopted homeland - until last year.
In 2009, a chapel serving the city's 700-strong Jewish community was set ablaze. Jewish cemeteries were repeatedly desecrated, worshippers were abused on their way home from prayer, and "Hitler" was mockingly chanted in the streets by masked men.
"I never thought I would see this hatred again in my lifetime, not in Sweden anyway," Mrs Popinski told The Sunday Telegraph.
"This new hatred comes from Muslim immigrants. The Jewish people are afraid now."
Malmo's Jews, however, do not just point the finger at bigoted Muslims and their fellow racists in the country's Neo-Nazi fringe. They also accuse Ilmar Reepalu, the Left-wing mayor who has been in power for 15 years, of failing to protect them.
Mr Reepalu, who is blamed for lax policing, is at the centre of a growing controversy for saying that what the Jews perceive as naked anti-Semitism is in fact just a sad, but understandable consequence of Israeli policy in the Middle East.
While his views are far from unusual on the European liberal-left, which is often accused of a pro-Palestinian bias, his Jewish critics say they encourage young Muslim hotheads to abuse and harass them.
The future looks so bleak that by one estimate, around 30 Jewish families have already left for Stockholm, England or Israel, and more are preparing to go. Continue reading
