How Hamas Greeted 9/11
By STEVEN STALINSKY
Hamas praised the killing of thousands of Americans in the attacks of September 11, 2001, while saying Muslims could not have been involved — a similar response to those of other groups in the Middle East. Now that Hamas is running the Palestinian Authority, it is worth taking a second look at the terrorist organization’s official press outlets’ coverage of the attacks.
• “Allah has answered our prayers,” Dr. Atallah Abu Al-Subh wrote in an open letter titled “To America,” which appeared September 13,2001, in the Hamas mouthpiece Al-Risala. The Hamas publication also directed messages to high-ranking members of the Bush administration:
• “Every time Dick Cheney and his girlfriend Condoleezza Rice … admonish us [and] gloat at our misfortune, they incite more [violence against us]! We stand in line and beg Allah to give you to drink from the cup of humiliation — and behold, heaven has answere. … America, you planted in the hearts of all men … the seedling of hatred of you! You never considered that the day would come when the saplings would grow and put out your eyes … at the top of the World Trade Center ...Those saplings grew and spread and struck at the liver of the Pentagon. ... Don’t you see that thorns have reached the eyes of your strong Secretary of Defense, Rumsfeld, who thought that he was too strong to be hurt by the thorns of vengeance … Perhaps you realize, after Rumsfeld fled,that he is only an ordinary man,” Al-Risala contributors wrote shortly after the attacks.
• “The Jews infiltrated the American Army, particularly the Air Force and they pressured pilots to take the planes, knowing that religion is not denoted in the identity cards of those joining the American military. Accordingly the airplanes were [controlled] by the Jews. … Why is Bush ignoring these facts.… Don’t act like you don’t know who is behind the recent events…” a Hamas activist, Yussef Al-’Azam, wrote in a Hamas newspaper, Al-Sabil, on October 4, 2001.
• “Should I greet you [anthrax], or should I curse you … I will begin by saying: Oh Anthrax … you have sown horror in the heart of the lady of arrogance … you have entered the most fortified of places; [you have entered] the White House and they left it like horrified mice,” a November 1, 2001, editorial in Al-Risala headlined, “To Anthrax,” said. The letter also belittled the American military and concluded by blessing the attacks on America:
• “How much hatred has [America] stockpiled. … Were the eradication of its Marines in Lebanon, the destruction of its military headquarters at Khobar in Saudi Arabia, the destruction of the USS Cole in Yemen, the bombing of its embassies in Zambia [sic] and in Kenya, and the attacks on its soldiers in the Gulf … not sufficient? The U.S. should have learned the lessons of history … Today, the U.S. has treated the bitter harvest it sowed in the hearts of millions. Today, we ask: After this, will the U.S. [continue to] think that it is above the law?” the editor of Al-Risala, Dr. Ghazi Hamad, said in justification of the attacks days after September 11, 2001.
Some of the most vulgar responses to the attacks of September 11, 2001, were the celebrations in the Palestinian streets, including shouts of joy by women. Hamas’ reaction to the attacks was equally as disturbing yet not really shocking.

The decay in Sweden has been well documented here and here. Where there is decay, there is rampant antisemitism. They two go hand in hand.
Naomi Ragen reports: In Sweden, that home of liberal socialism, the Minister of Justice is now bending over backwards to explain how "Kill the Jews" pronouced in the Grand Mosque of Stockholm is not racial incitement. Please let the Minister know you vehemently you disagree.
The international media might want to put a question or two on this subject to Swedish Chancellor of Justice Mr Göran Lambertz, email registrator@justitiekanslern.se, phone +46 8 4051000. Postal address:

Able Providence Background
Earlier today, I wrote about the funding of a new program the promises to use the "engine" of Able Danger to develop leads on potential terror cells, both here and abroad. The new program, Able Providence, wants to produce data as a shared resource...the intelligence-community magazine Government Community News (GCN) wrote a little-noted article about the Able Providence proposal last October: More to come ... in the meantime, be sure to keep up with Mike Kasper's Able Danger coverage, including more information on Able Providence. Mike also has a good post on Sandy Berger's fundraising for Curt Weldon's opponent in Pennsylvania. Comments (5)

France's Future - Nearer Than We Imagine?
Folks,
This morning, there were some horrific reports and pictures of an upsurge in violence on the streets of Paris - the usual "youths" and "students."
I know that many of us think France is circling the drain pretty darned fast, and that it's entirely possible that much of the rest of "Old Europe" isn't far behind.
There is one Eastern European author, though, who "gets it" and is very, very knowledgeable about Islam. The problem is so worrisome to her that, in view of the ever increasing frequency and intensity of the violence in France, she has written a very compelling novel called "Hatred of the Angels."
Because of the level of PC in Europe, she has been unable to find a publisher. We thought her vision of the future was so important, so educational, that we offered to publish it chapter at a time, about once a month, over at 6thCAJ. So far,three chapters have been published, with about nine to go. The titles of all of them are listed.

I've been reading the online novel as it is published. Another fascinating novel is Jean Raspall's Camp of the Saints. Sadly, both will leave you disillusioned with the future if there is not a radical shift in Western leadership to defend Western civilization.

ALL THE NEWS THAT'S FIT TO STAGE
***update: NBC official confirms that Dateline is working on the story...see below..Little Green Footballs sheds light on Tarek El-Messidi, Tennessee-based Muslim activist and purported author of the e-mail solicitation detailing Dateline's wishes; LGF also has details on a similar media sting operation by Czech TV...***
Mailbox is filling up with reaction to my blog post this morning about NBC's Dateline show and its apparent Nascar fans-must-be-racist sting.
A sample:
Reader Joanthan M. calls for "An Army of NASCAR Davids" (meme nod to Glenn Reynolds):
Just had a thought I wanted to share - what a great opportunity NBC's news creation can provide to the blogosphere!. If word gets out to NASCAR fans (perhaps in part via your blog) that 1) NBC is trying to paint them as ignorant bigots, 2) they should be extra-super-duper nice to Muslims at the Apr. 8 race, and 3) they should bring their handheld video cameras to tape NBC taping them so that when NBC can't find any bigotry to air, they can expose Dateline as the one possessed with bigotry, of the anti-red stater race fan variety, that is.
E.L. Core's message to Dateline:
-
440pm EST update: Just received this forwarded e-mail from the nationally syndicated Lars Larson radio show, which contacted NBC official Jenny Tartikoff and invited her or someone from NBC on to talk about the network's, uh, news-gathering methods:
Glenn Reynolds quips: "If they air the show, I want to see the raw, unedited tape."
ERIC MCERLAIN POINTS OUT something that hadn't occurred to me: And reader Eric Hall offers a new assignment: "Dateline NBC ought to take some Christian-looking people to Riyadh and see how things work out. Don't forget the bikini-clad sister."
Blogger Chad Evans caught a hilarious error in NBC's sting operations:
-
Dateline NBC is apparently trying to set up a sting, asking “Muslim males” to go to sporting events such as NASCAR accompanied by NBC’s hidden cameras so they can film all the gawking “bigots.” Michelle Malkin has the story: NBC: Staging the News Again?

ARNOLD KLING ON fear of confrontation: "Unfortunately, large segments of American society no longer have the ability to confront real evil. People lack the confidence and moral clarity to stand up to intimidation. . . . One can view Islamic militants as armed versions of unruly teenagers. We should not feel guilty toward them. We should demand reasonable and decent behavior from them, rather than excuse their tantrums or their crimes."
That would require thinking of ourselves as adults, which is unacceptable to many. On his Instapundit blog, fellow TCS contributor Glenn Reynolds has pointed out the way in which the recent cartoon controversy illustrates that the West allows itself to be bullied by Islamic militants. The cartoons depicting Mohammed may offend Muslims, but they do not threaten Muslims or incite violence against Muslims. Still, because of violent Muslim protest of the cartoons, our supposedly staunch free press has refrained from publishing them. As the writer Stephen Green put it, "We've seen what American bookstores and publications and universities do when confronted with real fascists: they knuckle under."
