Note the repeated assaults. Note the disdain for free speech. Note the bullying and intimidation tactics. Note the hatred and anger. Note the outright lying. And note that it is primarily Muslim “security guards” who are doing these things. Are you ready for Sharia in America?

I am struck by the lack of coverage in the media of the obvious beneficiary of the rise in Somali piracy. Let's just ask the question; who stands to gain from this phenomenon? It's pretty simple really. The piracy in the northern Indian Ocean raises large sums of money for fundamentalist Mullahs and puts a big hurt on Suez Canal traffic. This piracy is a de facto extension of the strategy behind the assassination of Anwar Sadat and busloads of foreign tourists. This is an attack on world trade and the civilian government of a sovereign nation by a coordinated...

Iran is a threat that can't be overlooked George Jonas , Canwest News Service June 9, 2008 For the benefit of those who missed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's 2005 threat to wipe out Israel, he repeated it last week. Israel, he said, "will soon disappear off the geographical scene." The occasion was the 19th anniversary of the death of theocratic Iran's founder, the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini. Whatever one thinks of the sentiment, the sentence is bizarre. Threatening to wipe a country off the map is like threatening to slay all men and women and let dogs lick their blood. It's...

Iraq’s Assyrian Christians face extinction four years after the toppling of Saddam, says Ed West “When they cook a dish in the Middle East, it is traditional to put the meat on top of the rice when they serve it. They kidnapped a woman’s baby in Baghdad, a toddler, and because the mother was unable to pay the ransom, they returned her child – beheaded, roasted and served on a mound of rice.” The infant’s crime was to be an Assyrian, but this story, reported by the Barnabus Fund, went unnoticed in the West, like so many other horrific accounts...

Some are already calling it war, a brutal Muslim separatist insurgency in southern Thailand that has taken as many as 2,000 lives in three years, with almost- daily bombings, drive-by shootings, arson and beheadings. It is a conflict the government admits it is losing. [...] A new policy of conciliation pursued by Thailand's junta since it took power in a coup five months ago has been met by increased violence, including a barrage of 28 coordinated bombings in the south that killed or injured about 60 people a week ago. [...] "Buddhist monks have been hacked to death, clubbed to...

Ugandan archbishop says that Militant Islam is century’s key challenge Anglican Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi of Uganda NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK — Much of the church is asleep or in “deep, dark denial” about Islam, Anglican Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi of Uganda said in New York City at the Kairos Journal Award dinner Jan. 26. This was revealed in a story by Gregory Tomlin for Baptist press (www.bpnews.net) in which he wrote, “Orombi, named one of World magazine’s ‘Daniels of the Year’ for 2006, has been at the forefront of the Anglican church’s controversy over the open acceptance and...

Early in his book, Zahid Hussain, a well-known Pakistani journalist, labels his native land as "the most ungovernable country in the world." He then describes President Pervez Musharraf as a military dictator who, by siding with the United States in the so-called "war on terror", has led Pakistan "to war with itself." The 11 chapters that constitute the book, however, reveal a different picture. Each chapter deals with one aspect of the problems that Pakistan faces, including the role of the military, the ascendancy of Islamist groups, the nuclear race with India, the various wars in Afghanistan since the 1970s,...

Dr. Tawfik Hamid doesn't tell people where he lives. Not the street, not the city, not even the country. It's safer that way. It's only the letters of testimony from some of the highest intelligence officers in the Western world that enable him to move freely. This medical doctor, author and activist once was a member of Egypt's Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya (Arabic for "the Islamic Group"), a banned terrorist organization. He was trained under Ayman al-Zawahiri, the bearded jihadi who appears in Bin Laden's videos, telling the world that Islamic violence will stop only once we all become Muslims. He's a...

Two recent articles on National Review Online demonstrate what I consider to be the two biggest failures to date in thinking about the War on Terror: a studied refusal by most westerners—including American conservatives who support the war—to admit that we are in a clash of civilizations with militant Islam, and a comcomitant failure to recognize that America and her allies have not fought this war with anywhere near the ferocity required to win.

Just announced on the Fox News Channel that the Israeli Security Cabinet has approved a wider ground war.

In operations that began overnight in the southern Lebanese villages of Bint Jbeil, Ramya, Itrun, and Ayara Al-Mantzuri, IDF forces eliminated in excess of 30 Hezbollah terrorists, among them four members of an anti-tank missile cell. The force arrested three terrorists in the village of Shihin and two more in Bint Jbeil. During the operation forces found and destroyed eight missile launchers and a Hezbollah war room in Ayara Al-Mantzuri, and another missile launcher north of the village of Maron A-Ras. In addition, IDF reserve forces operating near Ayara Bayde, also in the western sector of southern Lebanon, destroyed a...

AUGUST 2, 2006 ED KOCH NEWS & COLUMNS Israel’s response to Hezbollah has demonstrated to the enemies of the Jewish state that Israel will stand up and fight. This is in marked contrast to Spain, France and Germany under Schroeder, who have blinked and withdrawn responding to Islamic terror or threatened terror. Thankfully, our country’s leaders appreciate that we are at war with international terrorism. The West confronts a war of civilizations that is not for the fainthearted. There are those who believe that negotiations without the will to engage in military action will suffice. They are wrong. For 58...

Desperate, desperate to be evil! When I first heard that the Islamists that carried out the 9/11 massacre were desperate, I wanted to find out what it means, does IT refer to the huge sums of money Al Qaida has fed their families, to the sex with dhimmis before the act, or their private, relatively, normal material conditions. When I heard about propagandists whining hypocritically about "desperate" Arab Muslim 'Palestinian' genocide bombers' "plight", I was very curious if it refers to the various cases of those having a relative normal and even established life or to those radical clerics, that...

It is time that we take the word liberal away from the left. The word that is identified with liberty and freedom has been hijacked by those who loath the very concepts that liberty implies. Words such as liberal, socialist and communist have become archaic, and have lost their true meanings. We should choose a new fitting and more descriptive word that better illustrates what leftists are really all about. Liberal theory will always fail because it denies the very nature of human beings. We are individuals and will always live and act in our own self interests. To the...

The Islamic Saudi Academy in Alexandria is an outpost of militant Islam, say critics who point out that the school's 1999 valedictorian is charged with joining al Qaeda and plotting to assassinate President Bush. Two other persons connected to the academy also have been linked to terrorism-related cases, and a U.S. senator has asked the Justice Department to investigate the school. The school was founded in 1984, primarily to serve children of the Saudi diplomatic corps. Today, the student body is more diverse, with nearly three dozen countries represented, but much of the funding still comes from the Saudi government....

Some European Muslims are being drawn towards militant Islamism while still in their teens, in a trend which is increasingly worrying security services. Police and intelligence officials say they are concerned about evidence that disaffected young Muslims, born and bred in Europe as children of immigrant families, are easy targets for radicalisation. Examples include the radical Dutch "Hofstad Group" linked to the accused killer of film maker Theo van Gogh, and a group of young Muslims recruited in France to fight in Iraq.

TROUBLE SPEAK Ward Churchill copied 'original' art piece Takes a swing at TV reporter who confronted him -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: February 26, 2005 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2005 WorldNetDaily.com Professor Ward Churchill Adding to a growing list of allegations, controversial University of Colorado professor Ward Churchill appears to have violated copyright law by claiming a reknowned artist's work as his own. Churchill, whose integrity has been challenged since news broke earlier last month of his paper blaming victims of 9-11 for the attacks, made an Indian-theme serigraph in 1981 called "Winter Attack" and printed 150 copies. But one of the buyers,...

Ward Hill as a member of the schismatic Boulder/Denver branch of AIM [American Indian Movement] as spent his whole life trashing the FBI and police. Here is what he said in his "Roosting Chickens" article. He is an anarchist who publishes his books through anarchist publishers. He wants to trash our law enforcement and intelligence organizations so that we will be destroyed. He doesn't want to make them better. He want the USA off the planet. He has often depicted the FBI and CIA as terrorist organizations.

Ward Churchill is the professor from Colorado University who called the dead in the World Trade Center "Nazis" and also said that the US deserved 9/11, and that we should have not fought back. Prof Churchill may get fired from the University of Colorado-Bolder He may appear on March 1st, time pending, if the administration approves of it.

In his FrontPage Magazine article Andrew Alexander’s Lies About the Cold War, Jamie Glazov speaks of the Soviet regime’s aggressive and expansionist designs against the West in the post-WWII period, and how de-classified Soviet sources prove that they had extensively infiltrated their agents into Western society. "...the Venona transcripts are thousands of Soviet intelligence messages that were intercepted and decoded over four decades by the FBI and the NSA (National Security Agency). Released over the past few years, these files prove that there was a large-scale Communist penetration of the U.S. government, and that Communist spies passed on valuable information...

<p>An excerpt: "The Jews take pride in something they lie about - the Jews and the Christians. Allah says that the Jews and the Christians say: "We are the sons of Allah and His beloved." and they declare this throughout the world, to modern intellectual streams, to international organizations, and to nations and countries.

As the war on terror continues, it is vital to pause occasionally and remind ourselves how truly horrific an enemy civilization confronts. In militant Islam, America and its allies — and even some nations that have sidestepped this conflict — face a breathtakingly evil foe. In recent weeks, this Coalition of the Wicked has reconfirmed its barbarism. Until liberation, Fallujah was an Islamist house of horrors. U.S. soldiers discovered up to 20 blood-stained homes in which innocent hostages were detained and killed, often on videotape. Amid guns, rockets, and an unfinished car bomb, terror master Abu Musab al-Zarqawi’s headquarters...

About 200 people paid homage to late Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat at a rally Saturday at a university in downtown Dhaka, calling him a leader in the global fight against repression, authoritarianism and imperialism. "We are here to salute a freedom fighter ... he is the symbol of freedom and peace," said A.K. Khondoker, a leader of the Combined Citizens' Group, the rally's sponsor. The group includes teachers, retired government officials, politicians, journalists and cultural activists. Bangladesh, a Muslim-majority South Asian nation, has no relations with Israel and supports an independent and sovereign Palestinian state. The government declared three days...

“…when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 This week Yasser Arafat, the most hateful and bitter enemy of the Jews since the times of Adolph Hitler, died. It wasn’t during an act of blowing oneself up, like he instructed his subjects to do, but of causes he wasn’t planning on experiencing. Instead of entering a world Arafat assured all those terrorists he gave suicide belts to (72 virgins), Arafat will most likely be meeting many of his former comrades in a different situation. Perhaps the best description of feelings surrounding Arafat’s disappearance can be exhibited with remarks...

Dennis Ross' promotional book tour brought him to Connecticut twice this year, and he'll be in Springfield later this month. In his talks, Ross notes that his greatest mistake during his reign as peacemaker supreme was to underestimate the intransigence of Yasser Arafat and his ability to obstruct any meaningful movement towards peace with Israel. In other words, it was all Arafat's fault. Ross is not alone in this conclusion. It's an easy one to get to and eliminates the need to be bothered by inconvenient facts like the nature and disposition of the Arab world towards Israel and Jews,...

Theo van Gogh was a hero in the battle for freedom in this world war, and he was gunned down Tuesday for fighting this terrible fight. His assassin, who found him riding his bicycle through his hometown of Amsterdam, shot him eight times and then slit his throat. He killed him because van Gogh dared to speak the truth. Vincent van Gogh's great-grand nephew stuck his neck out. He was a filmmaker who recently produced a documentary showing how Islam oppresses women. One might think that given the totalitarian subjugation of women throughout the Muslim world, such a film would...

<p>Once upon a time there was a hunter and bear living in a forest. The hunter kept trying to kill the bear so that he could be protected during the winter, with the bear’s fur covering his body. The bear, on the other hand, wanted to eat the hunter because he was hungry. One day the hunter said, “Enough! I must reach a compromise with the bear.” So the two decided to meet, and the hunter told the bear to come to his house to talk it over. The two sat for an hour and at the end the bear was seen leaving the house. The hunter’s neighbor asked, “Where is the hunter?” The bear answered, “We both got what we wanted. The hunter got covered by my fur, and I was no longer hungry.”</p>

More “Liberal Patriotism” from John Kerry By: Christopher G. Adamo In light of John Kerry’s hypersensitivity towards any questioning of his “patriotism,” it is noteworthy that in the last few days, he has presented yet another example of his completely warped definition of the concept. In an earlier time, it would have been universally understood that efforts to discourage America’s allies from supporting such a worthy cause as the war on terror, were blatantly unpatriotic. Yet that is precisely what Kerry has done. Among the most memorable statements of President Bush’s September 20 2001 address to the joint session of...

Al-Qaida's cell in Saudi Arabia has recruited young men because they are easy to sway and then duped them into thinking there was no way out, two repentant terrorists said in confessions aired late Tuesday night on national television. Saudi television's Channel 1 aired what it called "Special Facts from Inside the Cell," a documentary featuring the confessions of terror suspects Khaled al-Juwaiser al-Farraj and Abdul Rahman al-Roshoud. Farraj was arrested in January after a raid on his Riyadh house that left six security agents dead. It was not immediately clear when Rashoud was arrested, but he is believed to...

Last week's arrest of two female suicide bombers from Assira A-Shamaliya, near Nablus, was an unusual event as families of the Jawabra clan turned in their daughters Lina and Adilah. Following the killing of a suicide bomb dispatcher of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, the families turned their daughters over to soldiers at an IDF checkpoint, after being warned that their houses would be demolished if the two girls go ahead with plans to blow up in Tel Aviv. Unlike the families of the Jawabra clan, the majority of females recruited to carry out suicide-bomb attacks are...

Hamas pledged revenge Tuesday for an Israel Air Force missile strike that hit a Hamas site in Gaza City around midnight Monday, killing 14 militants and wounding 30. All of the casualties were Hamas members, Israel Radio reported, and four of the wounded sustained critical injuries. The first 11 bodies identified all belonged to Hamas members in their 20s, none of them senior figures. The strike targeted a Hamas community center complex, including a building and an outdoor lot that the army says is used by the Hamas military wing for training. An Israel Defense Forces statement listed events that...

Translation from Hebrew to English by me In the city Beslan which is in Russia, where the slaughter at the school occured, there are fears the number of dead will reach 600. Hundreds of bodies have yet to be identified, dozens of them are still buried under the debris and 260 individuals are still reported missing.

MOSCOW. Sept 5 (Interfax) - Russia and Saudi Arabia expressed determination on Sunday to build up joint efforts in combating terrorism, the Kremlin said, citing a telephone call between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah. Abdullah, who called Putin, "offered the Russian president and the entire Russian people his sincere and deep condolences in connection with the monstrously brutal terrorist acts in Beslan and wished them staunchness in this hard time," the Russian president's press service said in a release. "It was specially emphasized on both sides that neither Islam nor any other world region has anything...

Russian President Vladimir Putin's speech following the bloody end to the school seizure in Beslan marked a significant break from Russia's attempt in the past to isolate Chechen terror from the issue of radical Islamic terrorism, according to Israeli officials. Putin, during a somber televised address to the nation after the botched attempt to free the captives, said, "We have to admit we showed no understanding of the danger of processes occurring in our own country and the world at large. We failed to react appropriately to them and, instead, displayed weakness. And the weak are always beaten." One senior...

Translation from Hebrew to English by me There is no way to crack down on the Islamic-Arab Terror, that hurts Muslims as well, as long as there are countries who support "terror which is just" and look away from the support of Syria and Iran in suicide terrorism. There is a linkage between the mass murder at the Russian school, the genocide occuring many months now in Sudan, the explosion of the train in Madrid, the blowing up of Synagogues in Istanbul and the explosions of the busses in Bear Sheva. Whoever is looking for the Al Queda command responsible...

Translation from Hebrew to English by me IDF troops arrested this evening at the Ziv intersection in the Hebron area a 14 year old Arab girl who was planning to stab one of the soldiers.

It's not every day that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security revokes a visa issued to a Swiss-national scholar scheduled to teach at one of America's premier universities. But this has just happened, and it's a good thing too. The Swiss scholar is Tariq Ramadan. He is Islamist royalty – his maternal grandfather, Hasan al-Banna, founded the Muslim Brotherhood, probably the single most powerful Islamist institution of the twentieth century, in Egypt in 1928. Tariq is a Swiss citizen because his father, Sa‘id Ramadan, also a leading Islamist, fled from Egypt in 1954 following a crackdown on the brotherhood. Sa‘id...

Palestinian cleric says hunger strike by Palestinian prisoners is form of jihad, any victims will be considered martyrs (Reuters)

In a striking admission, George W. Bush said the other day that that "We actually misnamed the war on terror. It ought to be [called] the struggle against ideological extremists who do not believe in free societies and who happen to use terror as a weapon to try to shake the conscience of the free world." This important concession follows growing criticism of the misleading term "war on terror" (how can one fight a tactic?) and replaces it with the more accurate "war on ideological extremists." With this change, the battle of ideas can begin. But who exactly are those...

[FBIS Media Analysis] Iraq, Iran: Sermons Denounce US, Express Support for Al-Sadr, Call for Sunni-Shia Unity On 13 August, sermons in Iraq by both Sunni and Shia clerics condemned US military activity in Al-Najaf and expressed support for Shia leader Muqtada al-Sadr.

The most salient point to come out of the 9/11 Commission’s hearings was its criticism of the name “War Against Terrorism” given by the Bush administration to the ongoing military campaign. The commission stated clearly that this implied an overly vague and unfocused concept at the most basic and fundamental levels of strategic decision making, to a point making the entire campaign devoid of meaning. This is hitting the nail on the head. Terrorism is not an enemy, but a strategy. There is no such thing as a war against a strategy, and any attempt to conceive one is an...

All eyes have been on Iraq and the handover. But it is time America and its allies turned their attention to Saudi Arabia and the militant Islam that thrives there – a creed which continues to fund and inspire al-Qaida Last autumn I visited a Sufi shrine just outside Peshawar in the North West Frontier of Pakistan. Rahman Baba was a seventeenth-century mystic whose Sufi verses have made him the national poet of the Pathans, and whose tomb has for centuries been a place where musicians and poets have gathered. A friend who used to live nearby during the 1980s...
