Islam Will Conquer Rome and Spain, America Will End:

"Here’s former Jordanian “minister of religious endowment” Sheik Ali Al-Faqir appearing on Al Aqsa TV May 2, 2008, with an Islamic supremacist rant about taking over the world.

This isn’t happening on some street corner in Amman. It’s being broadcast to millions of people on Arab television."

Academia bought and sold

Playing with the numbers...

Well, that settles it...

More than 25,000 raging Muslims turned out in Pakistan today, burning effigies and flags and screaming for blood, to show how much they resent being portrayed as uncontrollable violent madmen: Over 25,000 Pakistanis Rally Against Anti-Koran Film, Prophet Cartoons.

A slight understatement?

In Gaza, Hamas’s Fiery Insults to Jews Complicate Peace Effort

Read this and wonder about the ability of the so-called Palestinians to become a civilized people. But, of course, it is the Israelis' fault..... just ask the UN.

Let me do my part to insult Islam...

Wretchard posts on the Wilders film.....

Everyone deserves the freedom to offend.

Sophisticated group.....

Thai Muslims Call for Murder of Cartoonist:

"Members of the Religion of Peace™ are raging and screaming in Thailand, calling for the murder of the Danish cartoonists.

And in another bizarre, out-of-sync-with-reality photo caption, the Associated Press says the protesters are “chanting slogans next to a photo of a Danish cartoonist.”

Correction: a photo of a Danish cartoonist’s decapitated head, with a dog peeing on it.

Certainly, we need more of this....

Let's give 'em a state.....

A Bloody Night in Jerusalem
In Jerusalem, the mourning is mingled with worry as to how events will unfold over the next 24 hours. Police on the television immediately put out a public plea for quiet and warned they would be dispersed across the city. Friday is never an easy day for security forces in Jerusalem, as Arabs gather at the al-Aksa mosque for prayers. This week it will be more tense than ever. Police are expecting a long night, followed by an even longer day.

In Gaza City, residents went out into the streets and fired rifles in celebration in the air after hearing news of the attack on the seminary. “This is God’s vengeance,” blared a loudspeaker in a Gaza City mosque.

The happy family....but don't worry - there is NO threat!

WORSHIPPERS OF DEATH:

"Zahra Maladan is an educated woman who edits a women's magazine in Lebanon. She is also a mother, who undoubtedly loves her son. She has ambitions for him, but they are different from those of most mothers in the West. She wants her son to become a suicide bomber."

"We are going to win, because they love life and we love death," said Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah. He has also said: "[E]ach of us lives his days and nights hoping more than anything to be killed for the sake of Allah." Shortly after 9/11, Osama bin Laden told a reporter: "We love death. The U.S. loves life. That is the big difference between us."

Read the whole thing. Dershowitz always has disturbing facts and insights on this subject, which is why he is villified.

Reuters - Iran MPs want action over Dutch, Danish cartoons

"'We, representatives of the honorable Iranian nation, condemn this devil measure. We ask the president ... to seriously review Iran's political and trade ties with these countries,' the lawmakers said in the letter.

In the Gaza Strip, controlled by the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas, a leader of a militants' umbrella group called on Muslim faithful to attack Danish embassies and diplomats.

'Blow up the Danish embassies and kill the ambassadors,' Abu Abir, spokesman for the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), said at an open-air news conference in a Gaza square, where PRC members burnt a Danish flag.

'We urge (Islamist fighters) to track down those who printed the cartoons, those who drew them and those who published them and slaughter them immediately,' he said."

Stolen from Instapundit...

A DANISH CARTOONIST ON THE RUN. In a better world, it would be the people who openly supported terrorism who had to worry.

I hope they did it....

Hezbollah Chief Threatens Israel:

"The chief of Hezbollah threatened Thursday to retaliate against Israeli targets after accusing the Jewish state of killing the militant Imad Mughniyeh in Syria."

It never ceases to amaze me how the Arab mind works. "How dare you shoot back at me for shooting at you!" seems to be their MO virtually all of the time. And then the MSM buys into it....

The Wall Street Journal has it's own take:

Mughniyeh died in a car bombing, probably orchestrated by Mossad, though Israel denies it. It'd be nice to think the CIA was up to this, but we have our doubts. The location -- Damascus -- of his killing is of special note, and the private intelligence agency Stratfor reports that he died as he was leaving a meeting at a Syrian intelligence office. Syrian officials surely knew of his whereabouts and could have arrested him if they really wanted some accommodation with the U.S. At least Mughniyeh will kill no more.

Let's give them a state....

"I'll finish off the Jews and eat them!"

This was part of a children's broadcast on Hamas Television this week. The program is called Tomorrow's Pioneers, which previously featured a fuzzy Mickey Mouse character named Farfur and a cute bee named Nahul. We've learned from previous episodes of the program that both Farfur and Nahul were "martyred" by Israelis. In the latest episode, we learn that Assud, the new rabbit character, has come from Lebanon "in order to return to the homeland and liberate it." Later in the show Assud and the child hostess discuss the eventual conquering of Tel-Aviv through terror.

Who has a stronger tradition?

Professor Bainbridge:

"In a more culturally confident age, the British in India were faced with the practice of “suttee”—the tradition of burning widows on the funeral pyres of their husbands. General Sir Charles Napier was impeccably multicultural:

‘’You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: When men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.”

I wonder what the Archbishop of Canterbury would make of that one? Anyway, I can’t wait for a chance to use that quote at faculty senate meeting."

Back to the Dark Ages...

The Belmont Club: Old sport:

"Probably the single most devastating critique of Rowan William's advocacy of Sharia law in Britain comes from a Muslim woman writing in the Independent.

Look around the Islamic world where sharia rules and, in every single country, these ordinances reduce our human value to less than half that is accorded a male; homosexuals are imprisoned or killed, children have no free voice or autonomy, authoritarianism rules and infantilises populations."

German Muslims Protest Against Self-Defense

After a Moroccan thug was stabbed to death in self-defense by a German man he was trying to rob, Muslims in Cologne took to the streets in protest. Apparently, they believe it’s their right to mug Germans, and the Germans should just accept it.

Remember - there is no threat....

Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan Calls for Suicide Bombings

This is the Muslim Brotherhood to which idiots in our own State Department are now “reaching out,” marching in the thousands in Jordan in support of Hamas and suicide bombings: Jordanians rally in support of Hamas in Gaza.

Reuters, of course, calls them “mainstream activists.”
