Bipartisan and Allied outrage! Poles, Czechs: US missile defense shift a betrayal By Vanessa Gera Associated PressSep 18,2009 WARSAW, Poland – Poles and Czechs voiced deep concern Friday at President Barack Obama's decision to scrap a Bush-era missile defense shield planned for their countries. "Betrayal! The U.S. sold us to Russia and stabbed us in the back," the Polish tabloid Fakt declared on its front page. Polish President Lech Kaczynski said he was concerned that Obama's new strategy leaves Poland in a dangerous "gray zone" between Western Europe and the old Soviet sphere. ~~~ The Bush administration's plan would have...

Was it only April? There was President Obama, speaking (as is his wont) in Prague, about Iran's nuclear program and ballistic missile capability, and saluting America's plucky allies: "The Czech Republic and Poland have been courageous in agreeing to host a defense against these missiles," he declared. "As long as the threat from Iran persists, we will go forward with a missile defense system that is cost-effective and proven." On Thursday, the administration scrapped its missile defense plans for Eastern Europe. The "courageous" Czechs and Poles will have to take their chances. Did the "threat from Iran" go away? Not...

EDINBURGH, Scotland — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is facing accuations of "double-dealing" after confidential documents were released on Tuesday revealing that Libya was told Brown wanted the Lockerbie bomber to die a free man. "We did not want him to die in prison, no, we weren't seeking his death in prison," Miliband said. Al-Megrahi, 57, was the only person convicted in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland, which killed 270 people. Scotland freed him on compassionate grounds Aug. 20 after doctors said he had terminal cancer. U.S. Justice Department spokesman Richard Kolko said Tuesday...

It is hot in Brussels. Ramadan has begun. The faithful in the predominantly Muslim borough of Molenbeek are not allowed to eat or drink from sunrise until sunset. Non-Muslim policemen, patrolling the streets of Molenbeek in their sweltering cars, are not allowed to eat or drink either. As every year during Ramadan, that they have been told by their superior, Philippe Moureaux, the Socialist mayor of Molenbeek, they have to respect Muslim sensitivities and not to “provoke” Muslims by violating Islamic Ramadan restrictions in public. In effect, Islamic or Sharia law is already applied - for everyone - in the...

A Paris swimming pool has refused entry to a young Muslim woman wearing a "burqini," a swimsuit that covers most of the body, officials said Wednesday. The pool ban came as French lawmakers conduct hearings on whether to ban the burqa after President Nicolas Sarkozy said the head-to-toe veil was "not welcome" in secular France. Officials in the Paris suburb of Emerainville said they let the woman swim in the pool in July wearing the "burqini," designed for Muslim women who want to swim without revealing their bodies. But when she returned in August they decided to apply hygiene rules...

Here is video of John Brennan, Obama's top Homeland Security and Counterterrorism official, giving a speech today where he said the United States is not engaged in a "War on Terror," and also does not believe we are in a "global war" nor are we fighting "jihadists." He said the only acceptable term is that we are fighting "Al-Qaeda." Who does he think Al-Qaeda is? The are "Jihadists!" But political correctness will not allow Obama to say what is true, that Islamic Jihadists have declared war on the United States and we do face a Global War against those who...

Recently I posted an article about two UK counties which now require their female police officers to put on a headscarf before entering a Mosque. But as usual, the politically correct Brits have to continue their quest to be the # 1 caters to Islam. This time three policewomen were ordered to dress as Muslim women for one day to experience what it is like. This would make great material for Monty Python.

British leaders must stay up at night thinking of new ways that they can cater to Islam. Just the other day I posted that Muslims in the UK might get their own police division. Now non-Muslim female officers in two UK counties will be forced to wear headscarves upon entering a Mosque. I can't wait to see what they come up with next.

Although Sharia loving Muslims are openly calling for the conquest of the UK, some insane non-Muslims have actually started using the Sharia Courts to resolve their disputes. Talk about playing right into the enemies hand.

When Robert Spencer starts asking for nominations for the "International Dhimmi of the Year" award, the EU's Solana will certainly be among the top nominees. The EU's Solana has got to be the worse roll-over lay down appeaser to Islamists that Eurabia has. According to this report from Jpost, Solana has said he will seek to have the UNSC recognize a "Palestinian" state even if there is no agreement between Israel and the PA Fatah islamists. Also that the UN should impose it's own solution. Clearly this is one individual that is in such willful ignorant denial of the facts....

Dhimmitude in Dearborn!Christian Rights Suppressed!Jews Stay Home byPaul L. Williams, Ph.D.thelastcrusade.org Obama's America: Jews and Christians stay out! Welcome to Obama’s America, where Islam represents the favored religion and a vital political force.The transformed land of liberty was very much on view at the 14th Annual Arab International Festival in Dearborn, Michigan from June 19 to 21. Most readers, in this day of two-bit journalism and bughouse blogs, might dismiss the following account as phantasmagorical, save for the fact that friends of the Last Crusade has managed to capture the gala event on video. Click, watch, and scream. The...

In his speech in Cairo, Egypt, June 4, 2009, President Obama stated: "As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam. It was Islam that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance."

This article presents two opposing viewpoints on whether the Netherlands should allow Sharia Courts like the UK has. The person against the courts is a Muslim woman, while the person in favor of them is non-Muslim Maurits Berger, a so called expert on Sharia. I believe that Mr. Berger should mind his own business here. Things with Islam in the Netherlands are bad enough already.

A Turkish dad stabbed his own 15-year-old daughter to death in an honour killing which has shocked Germany. Mehmet Ö. (45) sneaked into Bürsa’s bedroom at 3.30am and repeatedly struck the helpless teen with a knife. Her grandparents called an ambulance but medics could not do anything for Buersa as she bled to death.

SNIPPET: ""Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." -- Qur'an 9:29 "Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war...When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. If they respond to any one of...

A Labour minister has sparked controversy by claiming that an alternative symbol is needed for the Red Cross because of the logo's supposed links to the Crusades. Foreign Office minister Chris Bryant said that the historic emblem risked undermining the work of the humanitarian organisation. His intervention came as MPs debated the adoption of the 'red crystal' - a diamond

As recently as last summer, General Motors filing for bankruptcy would have been the biggest news story of the week. But it's not such a very great step from the unthinkable to the inevitable, and by the time it actually happened the market barely noticed, and the media were focused on the president's "address to the Muslim world." As it happens, these two stories are the same story: snapshots, at home and abroad, of the hyperpower in eclipse. It's a long time since anyone touted GM as the emblematic brand of America – What's good for GM is good for...

MEET AMERICA’S FIRST MUSLIM: IT’S A REAL SCREAM Islam and the Black Community by Paul L. Williams, Ph.D. thelastcrusade.org Timothy Drew (a.k.a. Noble Drew Ali) In his speech before the University of Cairo, President Barack Obama said that Islam “has always been part of America’s story,” adding that Muslims have “enriched” the United States since the time of its founding. Mr. Obama’s statement raises a question that few historians, let alone elected officials, have raised in the past. Who was the first American Muslim? Read the rest at http://thelastcrusade.org

When I heard the President's speech live, I was shocked, I had the feeling that Obama was trying to say that everybody is a little bit guilty, except Israel, who created all the problems in the Muslim world, he demanded that Israel make major and didn't even demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish State. He even wimped out on the Iran nukes Issue, "I understand those who protest that some countries have weapons that others do not. No single nation should pick and choose which nation holds nuclear weapons." The president even soft peddled the abuse of...

With every speech he gives, President Obama goes further and further in diminishing Christianity in America while inflating Muslims here and around the world. For Americans this appears to be at best an incredibly bad choice of rhetoric or at worst the manifestation of a prejudice hidden in Obama, finally making its way out.
