A disquieting story from Tampa, Florida, where two Saudis acting very strangely boarded a schoolbus and (thankfully) were arrested: Saudi Men Who Rode School Bus Arrested. Given that the scheming liars who run Saudi Arabia continue to indoctrinate young Saudis with jihad propaganda and hatred, and given the horrible Beslan school massacre in our recent past, its reassuring that we arent yet so hobbled by political correctness that incidents like this are treated as insignificant by the police.LGF reader ferris points out that actor James Woods witnessed an Islamic terrorism dry run in August 2001. link: 400 comments

Someone named 'somthingaboutislam' posted this at JihadWatch, I couldn't have said it better, so I'll relay: Robert, why do you care what the Left says? The Left is the enemy. Of course they are going to spin this their way. They don't want anybody warning the world abou the muslim menace, because the muslims are their agents in their attempt to destroy Judeo-Christian Western society. |

After the Beslan massacre, I told several of my friends that a school bus filled with American children would be a perfect hostage vehicle/situation for propaganda-savvy terrorists. The media imagery alone would be priceless, with terrified children and parents, seemingly paralyzed first-responders, and the media engaged in an inevitable orgy of self-promotion. I cannot be the only person to have thought of this, but let's hope those that are evaluating this as a warning take it very seriously. |

This is unusual: the illustrious Markos Moulitsos Zuniga has been showing up on my Referrers list. He (or to be precise, a "Dave Johnson" from another site, quoted at Kos) is making fun of all of us silly anti-jihad sites for taking note of the Saudi bus story.
The Kos original is filled with links to various anti-jihad sites. Jihad Watch is linked at "OH MY GOD!!!!" I think that's somewhat ironic, given that there is nothing hysterical or ranting about my original post. I just asked a few questions...Comments (76)

For most people, the Beltway-area sniper case is a distant memory. Over and done. But in Montgomery County, Md., the pain and suffering caused by convicted killing spree murderers Lee Malvo and John Muhammad is as fresh and raw as it was three years ago when the pair terrorized the area--leaving 10 dead and three injured in their wake.
At the time, I covered two main aspects of the story that were underplayed by the MSM--Lee Malvo's illegal alien catch-and-release story and Nation of Islam convert Muhammad and Malvo's Muslim hate-mongering. Snide MSM'ers and the CAIR propagandists attacked those of who called these thugs what they are: terrorists.
This week, the snipers faced off against each other during Muhammad's trial for six of the murders in Montgomery County. Muhammad is serving as his own lawyer. On the witness stand, Malvo revealed the chilling details of just how much terror the Muslim pair sought to inflict in this community--from bombings to mass murder of children and pregnant women to the random slaying of six white people a day for 30 days.
Via the NYSun: "...a two-phase plan to shoot as many as six random people each day for 30 days in the Washington area and then target children and police officers with explosives. They planned to place explosives on school buses in Baltimore, kill a Baltimore police officer, and then set off explosives packed with ball bearings at the officer's funeral."
The Montgomery County Gazette adds this detail from the testimony: And the Telegraph fills in more in its report, " The sniper's plan: kill six whites a day for 30 days:"
And what kind of indoctrination would Muhammad and Malvo's army have received to prepare them for their terrorist assaults on American cities? Hint: Try a six-letter word that starts with "M" and ends with "M." The jailhouse drawings of Malvo are worth a thousands words. I've dug up a few from the Wayback Machine to refresh your memories:

Voice of America was founded to help promote the ideology and spirit of America to foreign audiences. At least, thats what I always thought.
But somewhere along the way, it became a mouthpiece for Islamist propaganda. A VOA report by Mohamed Elshinnawi about a Pew poll showing increasingly negative opinions of Islam pushes the line that Americans are just brimming over with Islamophobia, and it all stems from ignorance of Islamdespite the fact that Americans have more information about Islam than ever, almost all of it heavily slanted towards the positive: VOA News - Is Islam Misunderstood in America?
This Voice of America article, like almost all mainstream media pieces that cite the Council on American-Islamic Relations, doesnt bother to mention Nihad Awads statement supporting a genocidal terrorist group. Mainstream media also think you dont need to know that at least five of CAIRs employees and board members have been arrested, convicted, deported, or otherwise linked to terrorism-related charges and activities. link: 86 comments "It was a nice warm spring day in Chicago today.

Early this morning at about 3:00 am on the West Coast, someone in Sweden Britain connected to the Internet and browsed over to this article at the Guardian by Inayat Bunglawala, media secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain: This code could open doors.
BunglawalaÃÂs piece (about the Da Vinci Code) is in the section of the Guardian site where readers can comment, and someone posted a link to LGF as a rebuttal to Bunglawala. Our Swedish British visitor clicked that link, leading him/her/it to this post: Swedish Muslims Demand ShariÃÂa.
At 3:23 am, this creature used our contact form to send the following email with the obviously phony Hotmail address ÃÂzionistpig@hotmail.comÃÂ and the subject line, ÃÂYou bunch of wankers.ÃÂ
I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut....
Well, isnÃÂt that tolerant.
But this particular death threat is a bit different from the run of the mill hate mail we get around here, because an IP lookup on the sender reveals that he/she/it was using an account at none other than Reuters News: RIPE Whois Database: 192.165.213.18. (Please note: the name and address below are those of ReutersÃÂ technical contact, not the name of the freak responsible for our hate mail. Please do not send him email.)

Charles Johnson at LGF got an email saying, "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut...." Nothing much unusual in that, but the more he investigates the sender, the more it points to...Inayat Bunglawala, a leading British moderate Muslim (although one who has already been established to be a slightly immoderate moderate). Of course, maybe the unhinged hired help is using Bunglawala's personal computer after hours. Here is Charles' account of the unfolding tale. "We Got Mail from Reuters (Bumped)": Inayat Bunglawala was selected as one of seven ÃÂconvenersÃÂ for a Home Office task force with responsibilities for tackling extremism among young MuslimsÃÂdespite a history of extremist statements. UPDATE 6:22AM Friday: Inayat Bunglawala has denied involvement in this in a colorful way over at Comment Is Free: "Hey, that was not me! Let the police deal with it. Methinks some Zionists are up to mischief." Comments (26) "If you let them, the muslims always embarrass themselves. They sound like 5 year old children ÃÂI canÃÂt find fault in your argument so IÃÂll hurt you. ÃÂ"
Read all about it here. Commenting on the Guardian blog ÃÂComment is freeÃÂ (as user ÃÂNick223″), I referred Inayat Bunglawala of the Muslim Council of Britain to a little green footballs article on ShariÃÂah in Sweden. Now, Charles of LGF suspects that it was indeed Inayat who sent him this hate mail:

There may be a lot to regret about the past policy of the United States in the Middle East, but the removal of Saddam Hussein and the effort to birth democracy in his place is surely not one of them. And we should remember that this Memorial Day.
There are very few verified details yet, but if the basic outline of this story turns out to be true were in for a mainstream media festival of guilt that will make the Abu Ghraib story look like a Vanity Fair piece on Al Gore: Official: Iraq civilian deaths unjustified. Ill just point out that once again, as with Abu Ghraib, there has been no official cover-up, no attempt to shift blame, and no excuses. On the contrary, the military has already been investigating the allegations, and if crimes did take place, those responsible will be brought to justiceas with Abu Ghraib.

Or could it be to distract attention from something, such as the Iran/nuclear situation? Disappointment over the fact Karl Rove hasn't been indicted for anything yet?
I'll tell you one thing---I do think it's something, because I no longer believe the MSM just releases these stories by accident anymore. This incident apparently happened last November; why bring it up now, of all times? It is truly a shame that MSM has picked, this of all weekends, to push this issue, and completly ignore the exposure by the 101st Fighting Keyboardists of a faux "Special Forces / Ranger" that has been going around the country blasting fake autrocities.

One of the most common responses to my work that I have encountered since I have been doing it publicly is a sweeping assertion that I am ignorant, and/or maliciously ignoring the broad mainstream of peaceful Islam. Of course I do not ignore in the least the broad mainstream of peaceful Muslims, but I have repeatedly pointed out that within the various theological and legal traditions of Islam, they do not have much of a case. All the schools (madhahib) of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) teach violent jihad and Sharia supremacism, with some minor variations. Accordingly, Ibn Warraq is correct when he says that there are moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam.
This bears repeating: there are moderate Muslims, but there is no moderate Islam.
What I have encountered again and again, however, has been the flat assertion that peaceful Islam (not just peaceful Muslims) exists and is the Islamic mainstream, and that I am dishonest or malicious for denying this. But no evidence is ever presented for the existence of this Islam, and in all the years that I have been studying Islamic texts and Islamic history, I have never found it. Again and again and again people throw up to me the assertion without evidence.

This doesnt necessarily mean that Reuters has not really suspended the person responsible (as they told me), but something odds going on here because the hits from this address are not random at all. All of them go either directly to the post about the death threat, or to one of the other LGF entries linked at the Guardians page with Inayat Bunglawalas article. There are no visits from this IP address to any unrelated LGF pages.
The most recent hit was at 6:31:09 pm Pacific time, and it went directly to the death threat post.

Hey, Bunglawala, go listen to the Rants about you at Bairn Surgery With Spoons!
Meanwhile, at 11:40 pm last night, someone used an anonymous remailer in the Netherlands (with the address nobody@dizum.com) to send the following email:
You are a blathering titted weenie-man. Your whining and mewling amuses us so. If youre representative of what stands between the West and Islam, Islam cannot lose.

remember that stabbing rampage in berlin by the 17 year old immigrant? It gets better. The Victims are testing positive for HIV. and some reports have the total as high as 35, 15 more than previously posted by charles. (For those confused by all this: the story starts here.) |
Why do they hate us? Because we love life. Why do they hate us? Because we are all of us in the gutter, but so many of us in the West are reaching for the stars. Why do they hate us? Because we live for life and they live to die and fuck 72 virgins.
In Jewish life, the toast when drinking, the toast when saluting those getting bar/bat mitvahed or married...........the toast of life is L'Chaim (to life.) This is our mantra - our manifesto. To life. Everything the Jew does is to better life. Tikun Olam (repair the world.) In Jewish life, there is an exurberance for life. A joie, a passion, a wild happiness...........we do not exalt death. We study medicine, science, technology so that life will be better, healthier longer. Michaya!

Israeli breakthrough shortens the window of HIV detection
Over a million Americans are living with HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis C, and many of them are unaware of it, even though they've been tested. That's because the antibodies for both diseases don't show up initially on tests, and take weeks or months after infection to develop in the body. This gap can give the patient a false impression that he or she is healthy... and puts others at a lethal risk. But now, a breakthrough technology called the SMARTube developed by Israeli scientist Dr. Tamar Jehuda-Cohen and her company Smart Biotech can do what no other test does: detect each disease at its earliest stage. More...Israeli researchers stem the tide of desertification
05/21/06 - A growing global problem, desertification leads directly to a loss of the biological and economic productivity of land, and can cause famine. Israeli scientists are at the forefront of the global effort to help preserve valuable drylands, and prevent them from becoming deserts. Whether through technologies that will enable farmers to water their crops with recycled waste water or repopulating forests through plant genetic modification, the researchers from Hebrew University's Agricultural faculty are honoring World Environment Day next month and its slogan 'Don't Desert Drylands' - by providing the tools the world will need to preserve its arid land and make the desert bloom.

Jihad Watch Board Vice President Hugh Fitzgerald discusses George W. Bush is doing, and what he should be doing: Comments (45) "The complete lack of study of Islam and how Islam is the problem. If our leaders and most of our society did not suffer from political correctness and multiculturalism, the US would ban Islam. Muslims would be forced to leave Islam or leave the US. Problem solved."
The Times of London reports that MI-5 and the police have found themselves stretched to the limit from a score of active terrorist bomb plots. The Home Secretary has told the nation that so many Islamist conspiracies are afoot that the security agencies have no time to participate in an inquiry regarding the Tube bombings last year:Comments (32)
In yet another sign that Europe is waking up to its problem with Islamofascism, the official church of the state of Denmark has announced that Muslim Imams are not welcome in their churches, and that Muslims and Christians do not direct their worship at the same entity Today, our Memorial Day for 2006, marks the 553rd anniversary of the fall of Constantinople.

Has anyone else noticed that Bungwanker has never denounced the message he claims he never sent? It's all "LGF trolls" this, and "Muslim-haters that." And to top it off, it's all a Zionist plot to target a 17lb-chinless-homosexual Muslim? |

"Investigating Terror at UC-Irvine"

Do you think the jihadi organ, The New York Times, had these incidents in mind when their Sunday puff piece repeatedly trumpeted Ahmadinejad as a proponent of womens rights, has challenged high-ranking clerics on the treatment of women, and has defended women in a way that put him outside the mainstream of conservative Islamic discourse. Of course, the mainstream of conservative Islamic discourse takes a rather dim view of womens rights
The jihadi New York Times painted Ahmadinejad as an ideologically flexible leader who seeks a dialogue. The Times also described Ahmadinejads consistent theme as the concept of seeking justice. More here
Beltway Sniper Jihad Update. "Jury Finds Sniper Guilty of Six Murders," from AP, with thanks to all who sent this in: According to Malvo, Muhammad had a two-phase plan -- six shootings a day for a month, followed by a wave of bombings of schools, school buses and children's hospitals. Malvo said that when he asked Muhammad why, the older man replied: ''For the sheer terror of it -- the worst thing you can do to people is aim at their children.'' Comments (13) "Ever see the pencil drawings Malvo did? They left little doubt what the murder spree was all about. It was striking how the local and national media de-Islamicized this December-April love duo."

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2006/05/death_threat_fr.html Can someone tell me why the newswires aren't all over this story? And where are the news networks? A Death Threat from Reuters (Bumped) and Reuters Death Threat Update 7 In our secret base deep underground, our Zionist lizardoid ultrasuperpowers tell us that the Reuters IP address 192.165.213.18 has hit our site 134 times since midnight, and it looks like there may even be one or two Reuters people online right now. link: 192 comments Read this: http://www.mpacuk.org/content/view/2187/34/ "Zionists Move In On Inayat Bunglawala" I think I should be flattered by British Muslim advocacy group MPACUKs completely insane article about the LGF Reuters death threat incident, because theyve decided theres no way LGF could possibly be the work of just one superhuman Zionist madman: MPACUK - Breaking News: Calls From Around The World Demand MCB Inayat Be Sacked! Mosques & I-Socs Silent? Apparently Im jacked into the central nervous system of the worldwide Zionist machine. Heh. All you can do is laugh at these clowns, but in truth theyre not very funny at all. Heres an lgf search for MPACUK, bringing up a history of sick antisemitism and hate speech. link: 216 comments "Zionist Blogs too, are too well researched and co-ordinated to be the work of individuals. No part time nut could watch every minute for any slip by a Muslim group as vigilantly as they do. Most probably they are part of a well funded central network. They are another weapon in the growing armoury of the Zionist machine that is deployed against the Muslims." Yes, you idiots, we are part of a network: a self-organizing network of "coordinated intelligence" known as the Internet. I guess every LGF reader and poster should feel proud they are now viewed as part of the 'Zionist Machine' that is fighting the Muslim aggression... Zionist "well-oiled machine" = a bunch of people who come from all walks of life, all different countries, mostly non-Jewish, but who share in common the following perspective: The heart of the problem is Islamic aggression, not those who seek to resist such aggression.
