Christmas Terror

An AP story carried by  AOL News  tells us a little about the new threat of holiday terrorism and our government's reaction.  I was seeking President Obama's remarks, but could not find them.  The following quote stands out.

"We are concerned these terrorists may seek to exploit the likely significant psychological impact of an attack targeting mass gatherings in large metropolitan areas during the 2010 holiday season, which has symbolic importance to many in the United States," the joint FBI and Homeland Security bulletin said.

 

psychological impact

    Shock, fear & outrage can be expected. Terrorism is intended to create the maximum possible emotional impact in order to break our will and ability to mount effective resistance.  Inducing paranoia would go a long way toward that tactical objective.

symbolic importance

    Its Christmas, for Chrissake!  Mass casualty attacks synchronized with religious celebrations are designed to accomplish another significant strategic objective: breaking our faith.

    The implied message: 'your faith is unfounded, you have no helper; your god won't protect you from us'.  The message is clearly stated in Allah's damnable book. [Emphasis added, links to Noble Qur'an for context.]

  • 3:110. You [true believers in Islâmic Monotheism, and real followers of Prophet Muhammad  and his Sunnah (legal ways, etc.)] are the best of peoples ever raised up for mankind; you enjoin Al-Ma'rûf (i.e. Islâmic Monotheism and all that Islâm has ordained) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and all that Islâm has forbidden), and you believe in Allâh. And had the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) believed, it would have been better for them; among them are some who have faith, but most of them are Al-Fâsiqûn (disobedient to Allâh - and rebellious against Allâh's Command). 
    •  
      • ..."the best of peoples for the people, as you bring them with chains on their necks till they embrace Islam"... [Sahih Bukhari 6.60.80]
  • 3:111. They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; and if they fight against you, they will show you their backs, and they will not be helped
    • ..."This is what occurred, for at the battle of Khaybar, Allah brought humiliation and disgrace to the Jews. Before that, the Jews in Al-Madinah, the tribes of Qaynuqa`, Nadir and Qurayzah, were also humiliated by Allah. Such was the case with the Christians in the area of Ash-Sham later on, when the Companions defeated them in many battles and took over the leadership of Ash-Sham forever. There shall always be a group of Muslims in Ash-Sham area until `Isa, son of Maryam, descends while they are like this ﴿on the truth, apparent and victorious﴾. `Isa will at that time rule according to the Law of Muhammad , break the cross, kill the swine, banish the Jizyah and only accept Islam from the people."...[Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

    Brig. S.K. Malik wrote The Qur'anic Concept of War as a training manual for the army of Pakistan.  His analysis will help you to comprehend their strategy. Terror is both a means and an end.  This paragraph comes from the bottom of page 59. [Emphasis added.]

Terror struck into the hearts of the enemies is not only
a means, it is the end in itself. Once a condition of terror into
the opponent's heart is obtained, hardly anything is left to be
achieved. It is the point where the means and the end meet
and merge. Terror is not a means of imposing decision upon
the enemy; it is me decision we wish to impose upon him.


    There is one necessary prerequisite for instilling terror: the destruction of our faith. Islam's strong faith shields Muslims from being terrorized. This paragraph comes from page 60. [Emphasis added.]

Terror cannot be struck into the hearts of an army by merely
 cutting its lines of communication or depriving it of its routes
of withdrawal. It is basically related to the strength or weakness
of the human soul. It can be instilled only if the opponent's
Faith is destroyed. Psychological dislocation is temporary;
spiritual dislocation is permanent. Psychological dislocation can be
produced by a physical act but this does not hold good of the
spiritual dislocation. To instill terror into the hearts of the enemy, 
it is essential. in the ultimate analysis, to dislocate his Faith. An
invincible Faith is immune to terror. A weak Faith offers inroads
to terror. The Faith conferred upon us by the Holy Qur'an has
the inherent strength to ward off terror from us and to enable
us to strike terror into the enemy. Whatever the form or type of
strategy directed against the enemy, it must, in order to be effective,
be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy. A strategy
that fails to attain this condition suffers from inherent drawbacks
and weaknesses; and should be reviewed and modified. This rule
is fully applicable to nuclear as well as conventional wars. It is
equally true of the strategy of nuclear deterrence in fashion
today. To be credible and effective, the strategy of deterrence
must be capable of striking terror into the hearts of the enemy.


   
    The scriptural & traditional basis for terrorism is presented in detail in this blog post.  The scriptural basis which motivates Muslims to perform acts of terrorism is detailed in this blog post.  The most important of those ayat is 9:120. On Judgment Day, Allah will weigh each Muslims sins against his good deeds. If the balance swings to the left, the Muslim will be cast into the fire. If it swings right, he will enter Paradise.  He gets credit for anything he does to anger or injure us.

  • 9:120. It was not becoming of the people of Al-Madinah and the bedouins of the neighbourhood to remain behind Allâh's Messenger (Muhammad  when fighting in Allâh's Cause) and (it was not becoming of them) to prefer their own lives to his life. That is because they suffer neither thirst nor fatigue, nor hunger in the Cause of Allâh, nor they take any step to raise the anger of disbelievers nor inflict any injury upon an enemy but is written to their credit as a deed of righteousness. Surely, Allâh wastes not the reward of the Muhsinûn
    • ..."(but is written to their credit) as compensation for these steps that are not under their control, but a consequence of performing good deeds that earn them tremendous rewards,"... [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

    President Obama,  Secretary of Defense Gates & Secretary of State Clinton pretend that jihad can be countered by killing or imprisoning a few al-Qaeda & Taliban leaders.  How many Hamas leaders has Israel killed and imprisoned?  Has that stopped the attacks on Israel? 

  You could nuke Afghanistan, Pakistan & Mecca but the jihad would continue.  It can not be stopped short of breaking their faith.  Muslims must cease to be Muslims, abandoning their belief in Allah & emulation of Moe.  So long as they continue to believe what Moe said and emulate what he did, they will present an existential threat.

    Its the ideology, stupid!

  • "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his messenger."
  • "Only Allah has the right to be worshiped."
  • "Only Allah has the right to rule."
  • "Allah's word must be made superior."

If you do not disabuse Muslims of those ideas, your cause is lost unless you kill all of them. Nobody is willing to kill them all, so the only course of action is obvious.

    Compare & contrast Jehovah & Allah, Jesus & Moe.  Show the Muslims exactly what kind of man Moe was. Show them how he issued situational scripture to bless his sins. Show them how he permitted and engaged in the rape of captive women.  Show them how he suborned murders of his critics.

    Show them how "merciful and compassionate" Allah is, how he created a group of people predestined for the fire. Show them how the existence of Israel proves Allah to be an impotent idol whose promises are void.  Use comic books, videos and cartoons to illustrate and explain the Qur'an, Sunnah & Sira to show Muslims what Moe said and did. 

    If you will not throw more energy and resources into fighting the war of ideas, you will be compelled to use nukes in the military war.

The Essence of Islam

On line dialogue with Muslims usually does not result in breakthroughs.  One such exchange, in the Islam is a CRIME!  discussion thread in the ISLAM: Not compatible with western values  Facebook group, brings an extremely significant fatal fact to the foreground with unusual clarity.

    The above linked discussion thread delves into the criminal nature of Islam.  The thread was recently revived by a new commentator who asserts that Islam is peaceful.

    My citation of Shari'ah relevant to offensive jihad asghar provoked this response: [All original spelling & syntax.]

Ashraful Haque Rana
8.61 gives the general rule. And u can not say fighting is bad in each and every circumstance. It would have been great to establish peace without fighting but sometimes we r forced to do it.And there are more explanations abt this at the websites I had given u. I explained the Jizya concept(9.29) to u and also gave Yusuf Ali's commentaries. Reread those parts. U seem to ONLY believe negative commentaries from the so called scholars.

Regarding Ghazwat on tabuk,Read:
http://www.al-islamforall.org/ghazwat/ghazwat/tabuk.htm

     Ignoring the denial of war's status as a social evil, I responded with references to two of Moe's extortion letters and a hadith which tells how caliph Umar followed up on one of him by sending his army to Persia.  Ashraful's response is revelatory. I have emphasized the crucial  statement.

Ashraful Haque Rana
Abt level of tolerance,Read this with othr websites I had given u:
http://www.guidedones.com/metapage/non_muslims/Qislamtol10.htm
There r good number of laws given in general sense.

Prevention is better than cure. How can u give guarantee that they will not form such armies. There r many evidence in the History that small armies CAN defeat far more larger armies using good battle strategy,superior weapon,and of course by betraying them.

<<<Peace be upon him who follows true............... sins of the Magians.">>> This certainly means it wasn't possible to preach Islam to Magians of that time.It would be very tough to preach in an unconquered land coz non-muslims might attack any time and kill Muslims at their will.According to Islamic law following other religion is sin. And if someone prevents preaching he is the sole responsible of all the sins.

The problem is not with Islam, The problem is with U. Ur approach has been to prove SOMEHOW that 'ISLAM: Not compatible with western values', Never to understand Islam.


    This outline of the essential elements may help the uninitiated to comprehend the enormity of the revelation.

  • war is not always bad
    • waged to establish peace
  • necessity of preaching Islam
  • difficulty of preaching Islam to people who have not been conquered
  • sins:
    • not being Muslim
    • obstructing Islam's spread

    To the accepted standards of 'just war', Islam adds obstruction of Islam as a casus belli.  But that does not mean  blocking their 'missionaries', it means refusing their demands and resisting their invasion.  Moe's missive to the chiefs of Aqaba makes this point with a fine flourish.

...I do not intend to wage war against you till you receive my written reason for it. It is better for you, either to accept Islam or agree to pay Jiziya and consent to remain obedient to Allah, His prophet and his messengers....

...If you do not accept these terms and set them aside, I do not need your presents and gifts. In that case, I shall have to wage war (to establish peace and security)....


    That was an extortion letter. Its essential message was: 'become Muslims or submit to extortion; otherwise I will invade and conquer you'.  There will be peace and security if we surrender without a fight, otherwise there will be war. 

    Now we have a Muslim asserting that aggression is justified because we resist Islam and conversion might be difficult if not preceded by conquest.  I do not expect to see a better confirmation of the fatal facts which are open on the text of Islam's canon.

Obamination: Peace: Hillary Clinton Spews Feces

The news stories about Clinton's insane remarks about the 'mid east conflict" center on Obamination's frustration. It becomes obvious that the primary focus of their frustration and rage is Israel's refusal to extend the construction moratorium.  That is all about kicking  & back stabbing Israel while pretending to stroke and support her.

Full text link to the remarks.  Video Link.

The secretary of State spoke at the  seventh annual forum of the Brookings Institution's Saban Center for Middle East Policy. One news article described the speech as "lengthy".  The video indicates a run time of 33:10.  I find the rant to be insane, dishonest & redundant, a target rich environment  I have selected some of the more pungent clumps of feces to kick, for the full context, use the link provided above.

..."we are here discussing tonight – strengthening U.S.-Israeli relations and securing a just and lasting peace in the Middle East."

relationship

    The relationship between America and Israel has been one of treachery & enmity ever since Shrub went back on his wiser word and devised the Road Map to Hell.  We need to tear down that relationship and start over. Two sovereign nations, supposedly allies, should not be attempting to dictate to or dominate each other. There should be mutual respect, not condescension.

just & lasting peace

    Peace imposed by aggressive conquest is not a just peace. Peace resulting from appeasing an aggressor is neither just nor lasting. A just peace can only result from a decision of victory for the victim, not for the aggressor. Lasting peace can only result from breaking the aggressor's will & capacity to launch repeated conquests.  In the case of Islam, lasting peace can only come from extinction.  Now is the time to dig in with our pitch fork, remove the feces, and expose the core of the conflict.

  • Allah commanded the Muslims to wage war against Jews.
    • 9:29 Make war upon such of those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God, or in the last day, and who forbid not that which God and His Apostle have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth, until they pay tribute out of hand, and they be humbled.
  • Moe confirmed the order.
    • Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 196:
      Narrated Abu Huraira:
      Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)" 
  • Moe expressed his preference for the conquest of the Levant.
    • Sunan Abu Dawud 14.2477
      Narrated Ibn Hawalah:

          The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: It will turn out that you will be armed troops, one is Syria, one in the Yemen and one in Iraq. Ibn Hawalah said: Choose for me, Apostle of Allah, if I reach that time. He replied: Go to Syria, for it is Allah's chosen land, to which his best servants will be gathered but if you are unwilling, go to your Yemen, and draw water from your tanks, for Allah has on my account taken special charge of Syria and its people.

  • The gates of Paradise will not swing open for Muslims until they hunt down and kill the last Jew.
    • Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177:
          Narrated Abu Huraira:

          Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

  • Allah gave the command, Moe confirmed it, Umar carried it out.
  • Allah will always send someone to harass the Jews.
    • 7:167. And (remember) when your Lord declared that He would certainly keep on sending against them (i.e. the Jews), till the Day of Resurrection, those who would afflict them with a humiliating torment. Verily, your Lord is Quick in Retribution (for the disobedient, wicked) and certainly He is Oft­Forgiving, Most Merciful (for the obedient and those who beg Allâh's Forgiveness).
  • Jesus will return to help them finish the job.
    • Sunan Abu Dawud 37.4310: ...He will fight the people for the cause of Islam. He will break the cross, kill swine, and abolish jizyah. Allah will perish all religions except Islam....
    • Eternal Humiliation placed on the Jews [Tafsir Ibn Kathir] ...In the future, the Jews will support the Dajjal (False Messiah); and the Muslims, along with `Isa, son of Mary, will kill the Jews....
  • Allah will give the land to Muslims, through conquests, his decision is irreversible.
    • 13:41. See they not that We gradually reduce the land (of disbelievers, by giving it to the believers, in war victories) from its outlying borders. And Allâh judges, there is none to put back His Judgement and He is Swift at reckoning.
  • If a reversal occurs, the Muslims must reconquer the land. 
    • 2:191. And kill them wherever you find them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out. And Al-Fitnah is worse than killing. And fight not with them at Al-Masjid-al-Harâm (the sanctuary at Makkah), unless they (first) fight you there. But if they attack you, then kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers.
  • Allah promised a 2: 1 kill ratio.
    • 8:66. Now Allâh has lightened your (task), for He knows that there is weakness in you. So if there are of you a hundred steadfast persons, they shall overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they shall overcome two thousand with the Leave of Allâh. And Allâh is with As-Sâbirin (the patient ones, etc.). 
  • Allah gave the Muslims "good news" !
    • The Good News that Muslims will Dominate the People of the Book  [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]
      "While delivering the good news to His believing servants that victory and dominance will be theirs against the disbelieving, atheistic People of the Scriptures, Allah then said, (They will do you no harm, barring a trifling annoyance; and if they fight against you, they will show you their backs, and they will not be helped.) ﴿3:111

Islam is the "obstacle to peace"!

    The first fact which must be faced is Allah's command, with Moe's confirmation. Then there is his special interest in the Levant, his predictions, his promises and his good news. The restoration of the state of Israel contradicts and disproves Allah's promise & good news. It proves Allah to be an impotent idol, the ultimate blasphemy. Muslims can never tolerate that. 

    There was no peace, there is no peace and there will be no peace while there are Muslims alive on this planet. It ain't possible!  Anyone who tells you otherwise is a fool, a liar or both.  

    The damnable doctrines of Islam, not settlements, not Jerusalem, not "refugees", not "occupation";  Islam is the "obstacle to peace"!  In Islam, peace is what happens when Dar ul-Islam engulfs Dar ul-Harb through conquest. Peace comes with conquest.  Until the conquest is completed, there is "fitna". I do not expect that I will ever hear any politician acknowledge this fatal fact.


I want to focus tonight on the way forward, on America’s continuing engagement in helping the parties achieve a two-state solution that ends the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians once and for all, and on what it will take, finally, to realize that elusive, but essential goal.

two-state solution

    Eliminating Islam is the solution. There is no other just solution.  Creating another terrorist state entity will make the problem worse, not solve it. Muslims do not want a state, they want a single nation of Islam, on a global scale: the caliphate.

ends the conflict permanently

    The conflict is existential: While the nation of Israel exists; while one Jew lives, Believers must wage war, that is their role in life. When Israel and Jews are eliminated, they will concentrate on conquering  us.  Politicians can not acknowledge the fact that Islam is the source of conflict.


The United States will always be there when Israel is threatened.

when Israel is threatened

    Israel is always threatened, that is the constant. It is not possible for Muslims to cease threatening and attacking Israel.

We have also stepped up efforts to block the transfer of dangerous weapons and financing to terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. But Iran and its proxies are not the only threat to regional stability or to Israel’s long-term security. The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians and between Israel and Arab neighbors is a source of tension and an obstacle to prosperity and opportunity for all the people of the region. It denies the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people and it poses a threat to Israel’s future security. It is at odds also with the interests of the United States.

terrorist groups

    Islam is the terrorist group "terrorist groups" are composed of believers. Only those who wage war are believers, its what Islam is; what Muslims do.

Iran and its proxies

    "Its Islam, stgupid." Iran, Hamas & Hezbollah are Muslims. Terrorism: what Islam is; what Muslims do. Moe is their role model, he was a terrorist.

legitimate aspirations

    Since when are regional & global conquest "legitimate aspirations"?  There is nothing legitimate about genocide & politicide. They do not give a damn about statehood; they need to eliminate Israel as a stepping stone to continued and expanding conquest.

conflict between Israel

and the Palestinians

    That is a code phrase for Israel's resistance to reconquest. If Israel would just surrender, the whole problem would be solved.


I know that improvements in security and growing prosperity have convinced some that this conflict can be waited out or largely ignored. This view is wrong and it is dangerous. The long-term population trends that result from the occupation are endangering the Zionist vision of a Jewish and democratic state in the historic homeland of the Jewish people. Israelis should not have to choose between preserving both elements of their dream. But that day is approaching.

the occupation

    In the seventh century, Umar conquered the Roman Province of Syria. Muslims invaded and occupied Israel. Barack Hussein Obama & Hillary Clinton can't get a clue. The 'occupation' & 'settlements' they bitterly kvetch about are smokescreens that prevent us from perceiving the real  illegal occupation & settlements.

Jewish homeland

    Is there any good reason why Jews should not return to their ancient patrimony?  England conquered it from the Ottoman Empire which was one of the aggressors in the first world war.  She promised to return it to its rightful heirs and reneged, giving 75% of it to the Hashemites  driven from the Hijaz by Saud, as a consolation prize.  In the 1948 war, Egypt & Jordan illegally seized Gaza, Judea & Samaria.  When they renewed their genocidal assault in 1967, Israel won them back.  There is no good reason why Israel should not annex and settle that land There is no good reason  why Israel should surrender it or why it should be judenrein!   


At the same time, the ever-evolving technology of war, especially the expanding reach of the rockets amassed on Israel’s borders means that it will be increasingly difficult to guarantee the security of Israeli families throughout the country without implementing peace agreements that answer these threats.

peace agreements

    Conceited, arrogant fools imagine that peace is made by agreements. Peace is made by victory, not by agreements!  In an existential conflict, there can be no peace while the aggressor exists. Muslims are bound by a religious  obligation to exterminate Israel. They can not get into Paradise until they finish that task. Get a clue!

    Muslims do not make peace agreements, they make hudna, which last no more than ten years, and can be abrogated as soon as the Muslims recover sufficient strength to resume aggression.  They are commanded not to be weak and "ask not for peace" while they have the upper hand.

"Radicalization of the region’s young people and growing support for violent ideologies undermine the stability and prosperity of the Middle East."

Radicalization

    Radicals & extremists are imaginary creatures, they do not exist. Islam consists of believers.  To discover what believers are and what they do, read 9:111 & 49:15.

..."ending this conflict once and for all and achieving a comprehensive regional peace is imperative for safeguarding Israelis’ future."

ending this conflict once and for all

    A single kernel of truth in a massive pile of feces.

"We also look at our friends the Palestinians, and we remember the painful history of a people who have never had a state of their own, and we are renewed in our determination to help them finally realize their legitimate aspirations. The lack of peace and the occupation that began in 1967 continue to deprive the Palestinian people of dignity and self-determination. This is unacceptable, and, ultimately, it too is unsustainable."

our friends

    Israel is our friend, we should be theirs.  Falestinians are our enemies, not our friends.

state of their own

    Some of them had Egypt, others had Jordan,  Iraq or Yemen.    They occupied Israel; they have no right to it..   

..."bring a just, lasting, and comprehensive peace to the Middle East based on two states for two peoples."

two states for two peoples.

    Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Trans-Jordan; what did that solve? What will the creation of another Falestinian state solve? What is the difference between the Falestinians and the majority  in Jordan?

...:their respective aspirations; for the Israelis, security and recognition; for the Palestinians, an independent, viable sovereign state of their own."

aspirations

  1. Reconquest of Israel.
  2. Global conquest. 
"There is no alternative other than reaching mutual agreement."

no alternative

    There is no alternative to victory!

..."they have not yet made the difficult decisions that peace requires."

difficult decisions

  1. Abandon  Islam.
  2. Abandon Jihad.
  3. Recognize Israel's right to exist.
..."moving forward with refocused goals and expectations."

refocused goals and expectations

    Forcing Israel to commit suicide.

"It is time to grapple with the core issues of the conflict on borders and security; settlements, water and refugees; and on Jerusalem itself"

core issues

    Islam, jihad, genocide, terrorism.  There are no other issues.

borders

    Israel's borders with Jordan & Egypt, Lebanon & Syria.

security

    Eliminate Islam from a circle whose center is Jerusalem and whose radius is the longest rocket range.

settlements

    Remove the Muslim settlements from Israel.

refugees

    Resettle them in the Arab countries their ancestors left when they occupied Israel.

..."continue to urge the states of the region to develop the content of the Arab Peace Initiative and to work toward implementing its vision."

Arab Peace Initiative

    Reconquest of Israel followed by the rest of the world. 

"Significantly, both sides decided together to pursue a framework agreement that would establish the fundamental compromises on all permanent status issues and pave the way for a final peace treaty."

decided together

    Abbas never took the first step toward that objective, he dragged his feet all the way.

..."the parties can begin to rebuild confidence, demonstrate their seriousness, and hopefully find enough common ground on which to eventually re-launch direct negotiations and achieve that framework."

rebuild confidence

    That sentence is full of  code phrases  for "surrender first, then we can talk about the terms".

"The Palestinian leaders must be able to show their people that the occupation will be over."

occupation will be over

    The occupation will be over when the Arabs go home. When will they leave Israel?

"Israeli leaders must be able to offer their people internationally recognized borders that protect Israel’s security."

borders

    Borders  do not stop rockets, mortars, artillery shells or homicide bombers, regardless of international recognition.  When Israel built a wall to protect her citizens, the whole world condemned it.

"Second, on refugees. This is a difficult and emotional issue, but there must be a just and permanent solution that meets the needs of both sides."

refugees

    Arab leaders told them to evacuate, clearing the way for their armies to exterminate the Jews. They failed. That's tough. You lost, get over it and go home to Egypt and Jordan, where you belong.

"The position of the United States on settlements has not changed and will not change. Like every American administration for decades, we do not accept the legitimacy of continued settlement activity. We believe their continued expansion is corrosive not only to peace efforts and two-state solution, but to Israel’s future itself."

settlements

    For what good reason should Jews not live where their ancestors lived before Rome expelled them from their homeland?  For what good reason should Jews not live in Hebron, where their ancestors are buried?   Why should any part of the world be judenrein?  

"And finally, on Jerusalem which is profoundly important for Jews, Muslims, and Christians everywhere. There will surely be no peace without an agreement on this, the most sensitive of all the issues. The religious interests of people of all faiths around the world must be respected and protected. We believe that through good faith negotiations, the parties should mutually agree on an outcome that realizes the aspirations for both parties, for Jerusalem, and safeguard its status for people around the world."

Jerusalem

    Why should Jews not live in the city King David built up, where King Solomon built the  Temple?  In 1948, when King Hussein illegally seized half the city, he promised to allow access. He violated that vow, excluding Jews, desecrating synagogues & cemeteries. Why should that  injustice be repeated??

religious interests

    What religious interest?  Moe had a nightmare in which he rode a flying mule with the face of a woman from Medina to Jerusalem and from there to Paradise where he met the Prophets.  The Jews had Jerusalem as their capital city and built their Temple there. Jesus was crucified there. How does Moe's dream match those interests and connections??

..."maintaining pressure on Hamas to end the weapons smuggling and accept the fundamental principles of peacemaking – recognizing Israel, renouncing violence, and abiding by past agreements. This is the only path to achieve Palestinians’ dreams of independence."

pressure on Hamas

    What pressure?  Who ever stopped or even  slowed their rearmament?  Yeah, right, and Res 1701 would prevent Hexbollah from rearming.

recognizing Israel

    What makes any fool think that will ever happen? Hamas is Islam. Islam is Hamas. Islam is a religious obligation to exterminate Jews and conquer the world.  Has Hillary ever considered reading the Charter of Hamas?

renouncing violence

    You might as well demand that they renounce Islam!

past agreements

    Arafat made an agreement, and never implemented any of its provisions.  Hamas never made any agreement with Israel, what fool expects them to abide by the Oslo Accords?

"As the Palestinian security forces continue to become more professional and capable, we look to Israel to facilitate their efforts." ... "And we hope to see a significant curtailment of incursions by Israeli troops into Palestinian areas."

Palestinian security forces

    The grand scheme was that they would stop terror attacks. Instead of stopping  attacks, they participate in them.  Israel has to send troops in to arrest terrorists because the "security forces"  won't do it. They are not professional nor capable, neither are they willing. 


"The legitimate aspirations of the Palestinian people will never be satisfied, and Israel will never enjoy secure and recognized borders until there is a two-state solution that ensures dignity, justice, and security for all."

legitimate aspirations

    Hillary has studied from Paul Joseph Goebbels, who said that a lie would be believed if repeated  with sufficient frequency. The sentence is redundant, and full of excrement.

"The United States and the international community cannot impose a solution. Sometimes I think both parties seem to think we can. We cannot. And even if we could, we would not, because it is only a negotiated agreement between the parties that will be sustainable. The parties themselves have to want it."

parties must want peace

    "From the river to the sea."  "A million martyrs marching to Jerusalem!"  Yeah, right, they want peace; give it to them!  How many MOABs would it take?

"Palestinians must appreciate Israel’s legitimate security concerns  And Israelis must accept the legitimate territorial aspirations of the Palestinian people."

legitimate territorial aspirations

    What is legitimate about "from the river to the sea"?  

"They should help build confidence, work to minimize distractions, and focus on the core questions, even in a period when they are not talking directly."

build confidence

    I already dissected that  crap; the sentence is redundant, an attempt to  summarize a manure pile.

"Across the Middle East, moderates and advocates of peace and coexistence will be strengthened, while old arguments will be drained of their venom and the rejectionists and extremists will be exposed and marginalized."

rejectionists and extremists

    What was it the Arab League said? No recognition, no peace, no negotiation?   Islam's deity commanded perpetual warfare; its Profit exemplified it, along with terrorism and genocide. Moe was the founder of Islam, not an extremist.  Genocidal jihad  is the core of Islam, it is not extremism!

    Those arrogant Harvard lawyers are so narcissistic  that they  believe they can simultaneously promise polar opposites to Arabs & Jews without anyone wising up.  Let this be a lesson to you in the 2012 election cycle. Be careful when voting and make no mistakes.

Imam Rauf: Exemplar of Arrogant Deception

At Atlas Shrugs, Pamela Geller quotes from a New York Times article: The Gift of Reconciliation. which  is off to a great start with its headline.  Exactly how can anyone establish cordial relations between predator and prey?  The lion will eat the lamb, not cuddle up  to it.

    Geller cites several relevant ayat & ahadith before bringing up other quotes which display the true nature of the Imam.  I will leave that to her. Lets get right to the money quote.

‘‘There is a perception that Jews and Muslims and Christians must be each other’s existential enemies,’’‘

‘To defeat that is an act of reconciliation.’’


    What is the basis for that perception? Is it accurate or erroneous? Perhaps Allah's word will have some clues for us. [Emphasis added, links to Noble Qur'an trans. Hilali & Khan for context. For alternative translations, search at http://www.quranbrowser.com/ ]

5:14. And from those who call themselves Christians, We took their covenant, but they have abandoned a good part of the Message that was sent to them. So We planted amongst them enmity and hatred till the Day of Resurrection (when they discarded Allâh's Book, disobeyed Allâh's Messengers and His Orders and transgressed beyond bounds in Allâh's disobedience), and Allâh will inform them of what they used to do.

 

5:82. Verily, you will find the strongest among men in enmity to the believers (Muslims) the Jews and those who are Al-Mushrikûn (see V.2:105), and you will find the nearest in love to the believers (Muslims) those who say: "We are Christians." That is because amongst them are priests and monks, and they are not proud.

 

60:4. Indeed there has been an excellent example for you in Ibrâhim (Abraham) and those with him, when they said to their people: "Verily, we are free from you and whatever you worship besides Allâh, we have rejected you, and there has started between us and you, hostility and hatred for ever, until you believe in Allâh Alone," except the saying of Ibrâhim (Abraham) to his father: "Verily, I will ask for forgiveness (from Allâh) for you, but I have no power to do anything for you before Allâh ." Our Lord! In You (Alone) we put our trust, and to You (Alone) we turn in repentance, and to You (Alone) is (our) final Return,


    The relationship between Muslims and disbelievers is established: enmity, hostility & hatred.  How intense is it?

2:161. Verily, those who disbelieve, and die while they are disbelievers, it is they on whom is the Curse of Allâh and of the angels and of mankind, combined.


    So, they curse us, big deal. Will they do anything more effectual?

9:29. Fight against those who (1) believe not in Allâh, (2) nor in the Last Day, (3) nor forbid that which has been forbidden by Allâh and His Messenger (4) and those who acknowledge not the religion of truth (i.e. Islâm) among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), until they pay the Jizyah with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.


    Allah commands them to wage war against us. Is that a metaphor or parable, merely part of a social narrative or something more?  Perhaps the exegetes have some guidance for us.

[...]"This honorable Ayah was revealed with the order to fight the People of the Book, after the pagans were defeated, the people entered Allah's religion in large numbers, and the Arabian Peninsula was secured under the Muslims' control. Allah commanded His Messenger to fight the People of the Scriptures, Jews and Christians, on the ninth year of Hijrah, and he prepared his army to fight the Romans and called the people to Jihad announcing his intent and destination."[...] [The Order to fight People of the Scriptures until They give the Jizyah]


    Tafsir Ibn Kathir interprets it as an order to fight. Maybe we need to consult earlier tafsirs.

"Fight those who do not believe in God, nor in the Last Day, for, otherwise, they would have believed in the Prophet (s), and who do not forbid what God and His Messenger have forbidden, such as wine, nor do they practise the religion of truth, the firm one, the one that abrogated other religions, namely, the religion of Islam — from among of those who (min, ‘from’, explains [the previous] alladhÄ«na, ‘those who’) have been given the Scripture, namely, the Jews and the Christians, until they pay the jizya tribute, the annual tax imposed them, readily (‘an yadin is a circumstantial qualifier, meaning, ‘compliantly’, or ‘by their own hands’, not delegating it [to others to pay]), being subdued, [being made] submissive and compliant to the authority of Islam." [Tafsir al-Jalalayn]

 

"(Fight against such of those who have been given the Scripture) the Jews and Christians (as believe not in Allah nor the Last Day) nor in the bliss of Paradise, (and forbid not) in the Torah (that which Allah hath forbidden by His messenger, and follow not the religion of truth) do not submit themselves to Allah through confession of Allah's divine Oneness, (until they pay the tribute readily) standing: from hand to hand, (being brought low) abased."
[
Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs]


    Jalalayn & Abbas give us details about everything except the point of interest. :Lets turn to a more modern scholar.

[...]"This is the aim of Jihad with the Jews and the Christians and it is not to force them to become Muslims and adopt the `Islamic Way of Life.' They should be forced to pay Jizyah in order to put an end to their independence and supremacy so that they should not remain rulers and sovereigns in the land."[...] [Towards Understanding the Quran]


    Maududi seems to confirm the obvious: 9:29 is an order to wage war against Jews & Christians. What did Moe say on this subject?

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."

 

Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 196:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah 's Apostle said, " I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' and whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah,' his life and property will be saved by me except for Islamic law, and his accounts will be with Allah, (either to punish him or to forgive him.)"


    Moe said that he was ordered or commanded to fight; what further confirmation is required?  The Ulema based Shari'ah on the words and works of Allah & Moe.  Our final recourse is to Shari'ah. We'll start with Shafi'ite Fiqh, Reliance of the Traveller.

o9.8: The Objectives of Jihad

The caliph (o25) makes war upon Jews, Christians, and Zoroastrians (N: provided he has first invited them to enter Islam in faith and practice, and if they will not, then invited them to enter the social order of Islam by paying the non-Muslim poll tax (jizya, def: o11.4) -which is the significance of their paying it, not the money itself-while remaining in their ancestral religions) (O: and the war continues) until they become Muslim or else pay the non-Muslim poll tax (O: in accordance with the word of Allah Most High,

"Fight those who do not believe in Allah and the Last Day and who forbid not what Allah and His messenger have forbidden-who do not practice the religion of truth, being of those who have been given the Book-until they pay the poll tax out of hand and are humbled" (Koran 9.29), [...]


    The caliph makes war on Jews, Christians & Zoroastrians, on the basis of Surah At-Taubah 29; can there be any clearer confirmation of the obvious?  But have we excluded the possibility that the war is defensive?  We turn next to Hanifi Fiqh  found in Al-Hedaya Vol. II, Book IX, Chapter II, page 141 for the answer.

"The destruction of the sword is incurred by infidels, although they be not the first aggressors, as appears from various passages in the sacred writings which are generally received to this effect."


    That confirms the fact that jihad is undertaken on Islamic initiative, it is offensive, not defensive.  Surah At-Taubah 29 is outcome oriented, it has neither geographic nor chronological limits.  Could it be an anachronism, an out dated historical artifact?  Moe made it clear for us in two hadith.

Sunan Abu Dawud Book 14, Number 2526

    Narrated Anas ibn Malik:

    The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: Three things are the roots of faith: to refrain from (killing) a person who utters, "There is no god but Allah" and not to declare him unbeliever whatever sin he commits, and not to excommunicate him from Islam for his any action; and jihad will be performed continuously since the day Allah sent me as a prophet until the day the last member of my community will fight with the Dajjal (Antichrist). The tyranny of any tyrant and the justice of any just (ruler) will not invalidate it. One must have faith in Divine decree.

 

Sahih Muslim Book 041, Number 6985:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.

    Jihad will be performed continuously until the end of the world, which can't come until the Muslims kill the last Jew.  That takes care of the anachronism argument. Lets review.

    Imam Rauf implied that the perception of existential enmity between Muslims and people of the book is false.  Allah instituted hostility, hatred and enmity against Jews & Christians. Allah commanded Muslims to fight Jews & Christians. Moe said that he was commanded to fight Jews and Christians. Moe amassed an army and marched on Tabuk. Tafsir Ibn Kathir confirms the order to fight. Islamic law codifies the order and confirms that jihad is undertaken aggressively, on Islamic initiative.  Moe also said that jihad would be performed until the end of the world. 

    Reference to Islam's canon of scripture, exegesis, tradition & jurisprudence reveals Imam Rauf's deception. Islam has never been conciliated with Christianity & Judaism and is in a perpetual state of existential warfare against them.  Reconciliation is impossible. Defeating the perception of perpetual existential enmity is nothing less than blinding us to objective factual reality for the purpose of disarming us; rendering us defenseless. The Cordoba Initiative is malignant malarkey.   Q.E.D.

Malinstruction from Bloomberg & Rauf

Lessons From the Mayor and the Imam
Gde Dwitya Arief

The article in the Jakarta Globe triggered one of my Google Alerts. Like many articles that involve Islam, it contains some outrageous statements which must be refuted. The author is off to a great start with two big lies in the last sentence of the first paragraph

[...] "together remind us that Muslims are part of America and that Islam is not attacking the West."

 

Muslims are part of America

    Muslims who live here are not part of America, they are part of the Ummah al-Islamiyya: "nation of Islam".  Their nationality is Muslim, not American.  America and Islam are irreconcilable polar opposites.

    America cherishes equality; Islam exemplifies Arab supremacism. The second caliph made it clear: "But the Arabs concede supremacy only to us of the Quraysh, who are the centre of the Arab world by heredity and position."

    Equality includes gender; women are not enslaved in our culture, whereas in Islam, 2:223. Your wives are a tilth for you, [...]; 4:34. Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allâh has made one of them to excel the other, and because they spend (to support them) from their means.[...]  Women are chattle: fields to be plowed & planted.

    Women are deficient in intelligence; the testimony of two women is required to equal that of one man. 2:282. [...] And if there are not two men (available), then a man and two women, such as you agree for witnesses, so that if one of them (two women) errs, the other can remind her.[...] But Christians are not qualified to testify: Reliance of the Traveller o24.2[...]" (e) is religious (O: meaning upright (o24.4) (A: and Muslim), for Allah Most High says, "Let those of rectitude among you testify" (Koran 65:2),  and unbelief is the vilest form of corruption, as goes without saying);"[...]

    America cherishes our republican form of government in which the people are sovereign. Islam is theocratic and holds that only Allah has the right to rule; it rejects man made laws.

Islam is not attacking the West

    Has Islam ever attacked anyone?  How did India, Yemen, Egypt & Spain become Islamic?  They were conquered.  Those conquests were performed by Muslims who were motivated by the doctrines of Islam: imperatives recorded in the Qur'an and exemplified by the hadith.  Those curseworthy doctrines are reflected in Islamic law.  Al-Shafi'i gave it the utmost clarity. "The least that the imam must do is that he allow no year to pass without having organised a military expedition by himself, or by his raiding parties, according to the Muslims' interest, so that the jihad will only be stopped in a year for a (reasonable) excuse."

    America fist experienced Islamic aggression when she gained independence from England: the Barbary Pirates sacked our shipping.  Tripoli's Ambassador explained why.

The ambassador answered us that [the right] was founded on the Laws of the Prophet (Mohammed), that it was written in their Koran, that all nations who should not have answered their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as prisoners, and that every Mussulman (or Muslim) who should be slain in battle was sure to go to heaven.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Barbary_War

"But this is only true if we accept the charge that 9/11 was an attack on America by Islam."

 

attack on America

    Where did it happen?  New York City & Washington D.C. were in America when I last examined a globe; did they flee to Canada?

by Islam

    What were the 'Magnificent 19'?    Were they Catholics or Baptists?  How many of them were Buddhists?  And what was it they said while slitting throats?  "Allahu Akhbar!"    If they were not Muslims obeying Allah and emulating Moe, why did they act in his name??


"Here lies the core of the problem: the notion that Islam itself is the attacker. "

Islam itself is the attacker

    What a silly notion. Islam is a set of doctrines which dictate a predatory way of life, it is nothing without Muslims.  Believers perpetrated that attack because of what they believe: Islam.  Allah said "fight them". Moe said that he was "ordered to fight". Moe waged 86 raids & ghazwats.  Why did the Barbary Pirates attack us?  Get a clue.   


"In fact, this is what the terrorists who claim they represent Islam want us to think."

they represent Islam

    Islam is represented by its founder, who said "I have been made victorious with terror." Salafists emulate Moe. Al-Qaeda is salafist. Allah said that he would "cast terror" [8:12].  Allah said that he "cast terror" [33:26] so that the Muslims killed the men of a Jewish settlement and enslaved their widowss & orphans.  Terrorism: its what Islam is; what Muslims do.

"Islam is part of America and is entitled to the same freedom as any other religious group."

entitled to the same freedom

    Freedom of religion is for legitimate religions, not plunder cults.  Jihad is foundational & intrinsic to Islam, it can not be separated or isolated. Islam is all or nothing. 

13:36. Those to whom We have given the Book (such as 'Abdullâh bin Salâm and other Jews who embraced Islâm), rejoice at what has been revealed unto you (i.e. the Qur'ân) , but there are among the Confederates (from the Jews and pagans) those who reject a part thereof. Say (O Muhammad ): "I am commanded only to worship Allâh (Alone) and not to join partners with Him. To Him (Alone) I call and to Him is my return."  [Emphasis added.]


Offensive, aggressive warfare against disbelievers is an intrinsic part of Islam; participation in it is a religious obligation.  9:123. "O you who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are close to you, and let them find harshness in you,[...] "  It is not possible that the Establishment Clause should permit that!

Do we or do we not have a right to be secure in our persons & property?  Do we or do we not have a right to life?  If we do, then there is no right to practice or propagate Islam.  If there is a right to practice or propagate Islam, then all our rights are abrogated.  Get a clue!

Sahih Bukhari Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."


The sanctity of our blood and property and our rights are conditional on embracing Islam.  That says it all, exposing the liars.

"The imam has been working with the US State Department in promoting pluralistic and democratic Islam across the world."

 

pluralistic

    3:85. And whoever seeks a religion other than Islâm, it will never be accepted of him, and in the Hereafter he will be one of the losers. 
"The Messenger of Allah stated that no two religions should remain in the Arabian Peninsula, and the Jews and Christians should be expelled from it, all praise is due to Allah. " [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Emphasis added.]


democratic

    33:36. It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allâh and His Messenger have decreed a matter that they should have any option in their decision. And whoever disobeys Allâh and His Messenger, he has indeed strayed in a plain error.[Emphasis added.]

    The fatal facts bear repetition and Imam Rauf provides the opportunity.

“Let there be no mistake, Islam categorically rejects the killing of innocent people. Terrorists violate the sanctity of human life and corrupt the meaning of our faith. In no way they represent our religion. And we must not let them define us.”

rejects the killing of innocent people

    Define innocent!  Were the passengers on those airliners and the office workers in the towers innocent or not?

5:32. Because of that We ordained for the Children of Israel that if anyone killed a person not in retaliation of murder, or (and) to spread mischief in the land - it would be as if he killed all mankind, and if anyone saved a life, it would be as if he saved the life of all mankind. And indeed, there came to them Our Messengers with clear proofs, evidences, and signs, even then after that many of them continued to exceed the limits (e.g. by doing oppression unjustly and exceeding beyond the limits set by Allâh by committing the major sins) in the land!.


What is the meaning of that second exception? Muslims won't quote the next verse; I will.

5:33. The recompense of those who wage war against Allâh and His Messenger and do mischief in the land is only that they shall be killed or crucified or their hands and their feet be cut off on the opposite sides, or be exiled from the land. That is their disgrace in this world, and a great torment is theirs in the Hereafter.


What is the meaning of "wage war against Allah"?  Tafsir Ibn Kathir has the answer for us. [...]`Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. [...]  [Emphasis added] If you contradict Moe or do not believe in Allah, you are waging war against them and may be killed.   Only Muslims can be innocent!

sanctity of human life

    Moe said something, which I already quoted: "then their blood and property will be sacred to us ".  Only Muslim life has sanctity! He was  commanded to fight us until we become Muslim. 

represent our religion

    One man, dead and damned, represented Islam, defining & exemplifying it.  What part of this do you not comprehend?

Free Speech Has No Future

Cass Sunstein: The Future of free Speech, serialized in Little Mag, should serve as a warning of things to come if Obamination remains in power or is succeeded by another Socialist.  

    Sunstein discusses the concept of public forums, finding them crucial to our form of government. He hints at considering the means of communication as a public good.  Its a long way from Hyde Park to the internet, but Sunstein wants to conflate them. Examine his central concern.

"In a system with public forums and general interest intermediaries, people will frequently come across materials that they would not have chosen in advance – and for diverse citizens, this provides something like a common framework for social experience."


    In a small village, a single newspaper may serve as the local news source. One church, one fraternity, one school, one theatre  and one coffee shop may give the villagers shared experiences. But the USA is a great nation, not a small village.  There are many different institutions and services.  There are numerous newspapers, radio and television broadcasters, with divergent points of view and market niches.

    Consumers can and do choose, and "birds of a feather flock together", that is the way nature works.  Once the nation stared at Chronkite or Brinkley, and soaked up the same lies together.  Now we soak up lies from many different sources.

"All too many people are now exposed to louder echoes of their own voices, resulting, on occasion, in social fragmentation, misunderstanding, and sometimes even enmity. Perhaps it is better for people to hear fewer controversial views than for them to hear a single such view, stated over and over again. I now turn to this issue."


    Does Sunstein want to force Liberals to listen to Rush Limbaugh and watch Fox News?  Yeah, right.  I have sampled Randy Rhodes, John Hightower, Larry King and others. They raise my blood pressure too much. Keith Olbermann would make my bladder burst. I'll continue to listen to Rush, Sean & Mark; if Cass disapproves, he can go to Hell.

"If greater communications choices produce greater extremism, society may, in many cases, be better off as a result. But when group discussion tends to lead people to more strongly held versions of the same view with which they began, and if social influences and limited argument pools are responsible, there is legitimate reason for concern."


    "Extremism in the defense of liberty..." What is the value in arbitrarily decreasing the intensity or changing the direction of our views? This is all about cementing Scialists in power.

"Consider discussions among hate groups on the Internet and elsewhere. If the underlying views are unreasonable, it makes sense to fear that these discussions may fuel increasing hatred and a socially corrosive form of extremism."


    Who is to judge what 'views' are 'unreasonable'?  Here come the thought police!

"This does not mean that the discussions can or should be regulated in a system dedicated to freedom of speech. But it does raise questions about the idea that “more speech” is necessarily an adequate remedy – especially if people are increasingly able to wall themselves off from competing views."


    What is the remedy?

"The basic issue here is whether something like a “public sphere,” with a wide range of voices, might not have significant advantages over a system in which isolated consumer choices produce a highly fragmented speech market."


    Should we be like a doctatorship with state run media feeding us a steady diet of propaganda? 

"The most reasonable conclusion is that it is extremely important to ensure that people are exposed to views other than those with which they currently agree, in order to protect against the harmful effects of group polarisation on individual thinking and on social cohesion."


    Yeah, that's the solution: remote controlled idiot boxes blasting opinions inimical to our own, holding us as a captive audience!

"For those who believe that the free speech principle has democratic foundations, and is not about consumer sovereignty, government regulation of television, radio, and the Internet need not be objectionable, at least so long as it is reasonably taken as an effort to promote democratic goals."


    The free speech principle is crucial to our form of government. Voters must be allowed to communicate relevant facts and opinion and debate them openly in order to make wise decisions on candidates and related issues. 

    In deprecating 'consumer sovereignty', Sunstein deprecates popular sovereignty as well.  The people are sovereign, we give limited power to the government for limited  amd well defined purposes.  The popular sovereignty and consumer sovereignty are inseverable; if either is lost, both are lost. We can not be free if artificially & arbitrarily deprived of choices.

    Sunstein advocaztes mandates & disclosure reports for broadcasters including: educational programming, closed captioning, free airtime for office seakers, coverage of local issues and allowing opposition views to be heard.

    He does not stop there. he advocates requiring web sites to provide links to web sites with opposing views and "allow competing voices to be heard".

    Adding insult to injury, Sunstein advocates 'voluntary self-regulation'.  The variety of competing viewpoints might be reduced by "a ‘code’ of appropriate conduct".   The code would include, allowing opposing views, avoiding 'unnecessary' sensationalism and offering arguments rather than quick 'sound-bytes'. 

    The 'code ' would be "encouraged but not imposed by government".  If the 'code' is not 'voluntarily' implemented, the government "might impose “must carry” rules on highly partisan Websites".  So much for 'voluntary self-regulation'.  When you urinate on my shoes and tell me "its raining", you insult my intelligence.

    The Unfairness Doctrine is rising from the dead, in a disguised and expanded form.  It is all about squelching dissent under color of improving social intercourse.  They might as well limit us to one political party for the purpose of promoting 'common experience'm unity & social cohesion.

    LibTards kvetch about 'balkanization' while practicing the politics of division: pandering to Mexicans, Queers, abortion fanatics & Islam and engaging in class warfare.  There is something rotten in Washington: Obamination. Wise up, rise up, speak out and turn them out in the next election cycle!

Hector Aleem Update 11/30/10

    In this report, it appears that the end of the trial is drawing closer, but retarded by transfer to a different judge and lack of funds for the lawyer.  The persecution of Hector Aleem illustrates the absolute necessity of defeating the push for blasphemy laws.  There is neither security nor justice for minorities where Allah's writ runs. 

    We learn from Reliance of the Traveller, o11.10 that saying anything negative about Islam, Moe or Allah carries the death penalty. Full understanding of the the issue requires reading  o8.1 & o9.14 to learn of the penalty  and o8.7 for the list of prohibited expressions.

    Two Europeans are currently on trial for revealing the truth about Islam and one was convicted earlier this year.  There is no right more precious than that of free speech because without it, we can not warn our fellows of approaching danger.  Shall we be led, "dumb like sheep to the slaughter"? 

   

Dear group members,

For the first time ever we are about to share some good news with you. As you all know that Our Father Hector Aleem is falsely accused of Blasphemy charge. And you also know that Sunni Tehreek (A terrorist organization) is behind that and lodged that case on our father. And you also know that when daddy was arrested, Sunni Tehreek lodged more cases on him (with different plaintiffs) to prevent him of getting out of the jail. But these other cases were lodged on him when he was in jail. Hector Aleem was arrested in January 2009 due to that Blasphemy case and after three months i.e. on April 2009 more cases were lodged on him which were some other criminal charges. Of course all these cases are false and there is no evidence against our father. That was done to prevent him from getting out of the jail and to increase tension for him and his family and to torture him mentally. Those cases are being processed along with that Blasphemy case. But the good news is that our father Hector Aleem has been released from three of those Criminal cases because there was absolutely no evidence against him. In the order the judge wrote “since two years there has not been any kind of evidence against Hector Aleem, and those cases were lodged against him due to the personal enmity of the plaintiff so he is now released from these three cases”. But he is still in jail due to that Blasphemy charge and some other cases which are still being processed. We are 1000% sure that our father Hector Aleem will be released from these other criminal cases too as they are all at the end and there is no evidence against him. But that Blasphemy case is still very dangerous because it carries death penalty if convicted. Blasphemy case is also at the end, and there are only final arguments left. But the judge who was processing the Blasphemy case has been changed, we don’t know if he has been changed by the government or what but the new judge is about to come. We don’t even know the name of that new judge and that’s why the processing has been delayed till 4th December 2010. Our lawyer is doing an awesome job but he is asking for the fee. We paid him a lot, but still he is asking for the fee and I think that he will continue to ask for the fee until our father is released from jail. Sunni Tehreek (A terrorist organization) announced that to all lawyers that “a person who take the case of Hector Aleem will be killed”. Now all other lawyers are afraid to take the case of Hector Aleem, there was another person from Pakistan who is a lawyer and was a member of this group agreed to take the case our father but when he saw the danger of Mullahs and that terrorist organization Sunni Tehreek, he refused to help us. Our current lawyer is the only lawyer in whole Pakistan who is brave enough to take our father’s case and says “my life and profession are in danger due to your case that’s why you will have to pay me whatever I ask you to pay, and if you wont pay me….I will stop working and will resume working when you will pay me” So we are in this situation. It all happened in front of you, nothing was happening when this group was started in April 2010 but now things are changing. You all have supported us this far, we need your support once again and hopefully when this time we will pay our lawyer his fee…our father will be released thanks to all of you. The example of Asia Bibi is in front of you, she is convicted and is about to be hanged to death. There are many protests going on in Pakistan against Asia Bibi and all Blasphemy victims, Mullahs want to kill them all. Because of this the heat on our father’s case is increasing. And there are 99% chances that Mullahs will gather outside daddy’s court again and will try to do something bad. So please don’t let the same thing happen to daddy like it happened to Asia Bibi. We are all very scared of this Blasphemy tension which is rising in Pakistan. Please pray for our father, pray for his safety and his release. Also please donate for our father Hector Aleem so that we can give that money to the lawyer and he will start his work again. You can donate any amount, even a few dollars helps. If you want to donate through pay pal then follow the link below and if you want to donate through snail mail then contact the Shouman who is in the Admin list. And if you want to donate through Western Union then you can contact Mehwish Aleem in the admin list. Some people might not like it but we desperately need your help. We also want to give daddy some warm clothes he doesn’t have warm clothes and Christmas is near you can send him some Christmas cards and encourage him but remember nothing should be written against Pakistan or Islam.
