"Ahmadinejad And The Liberalism Of Fools"
Jewish Press ^ | 10-4-06 | Rabbi Shmuley Boteach

Posted on 10/04/2006 5:36:13 PM PDT by SJackson

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Last month the impotence of the world Jewish community was on display for all to see. For all the talk of how the Jews control the media, the banks, and the American government, a man whose declared intention it is to wipe Israel off the map was treated as an international dignitary in the city that contains more Jews than any other on earth.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran not only spoke at the UN – from the very podium used just a few hours before by the leader of the free world – he was also invited to hold forth as a visiting statesman by the prestigious Council on Foreign Relations. So now the world Jewish community must contend with the sad truth that sixty years after the Holocaust a man can declare himself the new exterminator of the Jews and still be treated with respect.

As I watched the Ahmadinejad media circus fly through town – his face adorning the cover of Time magazine, his soft-glove interview with Brian Williams of NBC News, The New York Times’s front page coverage of his cool demeanor at the Council on Foreign Relations – I could not help but wonder whether a grand wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, whose declared intention it was to wipe out all traces of black life in the United States, might similarly be feted as a bona fide leader."

"Possible Military Connection to New Indonesia Arrest"
By Daveed Gartenstein-Ross


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "My colleague Nick Grace, of Global Crisis Watch, provides further details from the Indonesian-language press. He notes that later press accounts state that Kangiyani's age is forty rather than fifty-five, and that she was carrying 9 kg of explosives rather than 2 kg. But the most interesting aspect of the developing story is the possible link between the explosives and Indonesia's military. Nick writes:

The 40 year old woman was in the process of completing a sale of the materials to an Indonesian named Mahmud, who paid 3 million rupiah (equivalent of US$250 and approximately 3 months salary for the average Indonesian). Both were detained by [elite Indonesian anti-terror unit] Detachment 88. According to DetikNews and Jawa Pos, Kangiyani was selling the TNT on behalf of her husband, "AH," who is a sergeant in the Indonesian Navy. There are conflicting reports over whether "AH" has been captured and is under interrogation. . . . Mahmud claims that he bought the TNT for "fish bombs" so that he could more easily fish. Meanwhile, fear is building in Jakarta over suicide attacks and President Bush's planned 6 hour layover and visit with [Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono] on or around Nov 20.

One obvious aspect to this is the possible terrorism connection -- particularly if Kangiyani had 9 kg of TNT. Each of the three suicide bombers in the October 2005 Bali bombings carried around 10 kg of TNT in their backpacks. Nick Grace notes that Detachment 88 raided a house in central Java in May that netted a cache of TNT, and it's believed that rising jihadist star Noordin Top's branch of Jemaah Islamiyah, Tandzim Qaedatul Jihad, "is desperate to replenish its stockpile.""
