Recent Criticism Of The English Defence League Is Unwarranted and Unacceptable

2011-06-30T22:59:00.006+01:00

Beer n Sandwiches has come out of retirement for this important communication. The EDL is the salvation of England and any attack on it is an act of treachery. It has taken many years to build up the EDL and attempts to subvert it need to be politely discouraged:

Dear Ms. Geller,

We the undersigned are writing to register our astonishment and dismay at your public denunciation of the English Defence League, and in particular your reference to the “neo-fascists that had infiltrated the administration of the group”.

This is a grossly inaccurate and unfair slander against the leaders and membership of the EDL, who have never wavered in their refusal to include neo-Nazis, fascists, or adherents of any other ideology that seeks to divide people based on their ethnicity. The core mission of the EDL has always been, and remains, to stop the encroachment of sharia and Islamic fascism.

For the past two years the English Defence League has been on the front lines of the resistance to sharia and militant Islam in England. Its leaders have put their own lives in danger by doing so. They live under constant threat, not just from murderous Muslim zealots, but from their own government, which has harassed and arrested them repeatedly. Tommy Robinson, the leader of the EDL, has been arrested multiple times, and is currently facing trumped-up charges designed to put him and the EDL out of action.

To paraphrase Geert Wilders: “I was dragged to court by leftist and Islamic organizations that were bent not only on silencing me but on stifling public debate.” The EDL is being dragged into a kangaroo court of uninformed public opinion. The more people’s fears can be raised, the more quickly debate can be smothered.

In the final analysis, as Geert Wilders points out, the strength of our community depends on the freedom we feel to “enter our convictions in the open lists to win or lose”.

All communities inevitably experience conflicts based on differences of opinion. It is crucial that we approach one another’s efforts in good faith, presume the other’s efforts to be well-meaning until conclusively proven otherwise, support initiatives made by others that further our common cause, and refuse to be dragged into parsing ever more finely our differences.

Our ideal of the “perfect” can kill any merely “good enough” effort.

Your unfortunate statements were picked up and repeated by other websites and blogs, some of them quite prominent and well-respected. This has done harm to our common cause, and has driven a completely needless wedge between the American and European wings of the international Counterjihad.

To help heal the damage that has been done, we insist that you apologize in a public forum to the English Defence League.

Its leaders and members are heroes, and their organization is widely considered a beacon of hope in Europe. All Europeans who resist the Islamization of their countries look to the EDL for inspiration, and all of them stand in solidarity with it in its struggle.

We strongly request that you reconsider your deplorable words and withdraw them.

Sincerely yours,

Muslims Attack Anti-Sharia Protesters in Birmingham

2009-08-09T00:01:00.004+01:00

Fascists assembling under the banner of uniting against fascism attacked football supporters who were protesting in Birmingham city centre against Islamic fundamentalism. We have seen many demonstrations in Britain over recent years at which Islamic radicals have been visible undermining the British state and its tradition of openness and tolerance. THIS article from the Daily Mail includes some footage of the brutality meted by Islamic radicals to the football supporters.

It seems that ever since the football supporters declared that they wanted to protest the developing British sharia state in Birmingham certain elements from the Muslim community seem to have been determined to try to undermine the protest with violence. The violence that has apparently taken place in Birmingham illustrates the sad spectacle of our broken political protest here in Britain where laws are enacted to prevent the regular participation in the political process and the demonization of those who raise legitimate and reasonable concerns about immigration and the associated Islamisation.

I am sure that the mainstream media will, over the following days, demonize the football supporters’ concerns and sing the praises of those who attacked them. However, the British people are not stupid and will realize that the establishment is trying to mislead them.The British people need reassurances that Sharia law will NEVER be the law of the land in Great Britain but the authorities are not in a position to guarantee this.

Pictures of Islamic brutality.

How much more Islamist aggression can Britain take?

Muslims Have More Legal Rights In Britain Than Non-Muslims - Just Like Under Sharia Law

2009-07-29T22:50:00.002+01:00

Just like under sharia law, if THIS article is anything to go by, Muslims have more rights in Britain than non Muslims. This is an outrageous departure of the principle of equality before the law and represents yet more appeasement of the Muslim community in Britain.

If such rules are applied on one group they should be applied to all. Non Muslims deserve the same rights as Muslims and should not be treated as second class citizens. Some Muslim extremists want sharia for the UK, and this proposal will be seen as a victory for them with another plank of sharia law put in place in Britain. I suspect that this will encourage rather than discourage extremism.

It seems that those who currently run Britain have either completely lost the plot or actually want Britain to become an Islamic state unified under sharia law.

He highlights the misguided desire of legislators to institute new ‘hate laws’ will give Islamic terrorists freedom from scrutiny and thereby put American national security in peril.

The Islamists are using our freedoms against us and our legilslators are taking freedoms that we can use to peacefully defend ourselves away and thereby directly contribution to an increase in the threat posed by Islamism.

Salman Rusdhie Talks About Freedom Of Expression And ‘Honour Crime’ And About The Appeasement Of Cultural Relativism

2009-07-25T12:12:00.001+01:00

The following clip discusses freedom of expression and Muslim demands not to be offended in the context of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). It refers to apparent contractions’ within the UDHR with regard to freedom of expression and honour:

Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Article 12. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks.

It would appear that freedom of expression article is the one that is being watered down even though the article about honour is an individual right which gives no mention to group honour.
The clip goes on to discuss ‘honour-crime’. A question that people might like to considered: If honour trumps freedom of expression then what other provisions of the UDHR does it trump. Would a rump UDHR be especially about honour and therefore nothing more than an internatioanl heresy law to protect Islam in particular against ‘blasphemy’.

For more on the UDHR click HERE and make up your own mind about whether the UN should be dealing with violations of other articles instead of dismatling the article on free expression.

Mr Rusdhie discusses cultural relativism and the apeasement of Isalm in the next clip. This has enourmous implications for freedom of expression and of freedom in general.

globalunityevent

I wonder what Mr Hughes thinks of the more Illiberal aspects of Islam, he seems to ignore those. What about women’s' rights, what about gay rights, what about inequality under Sharia law? Some liberal!

What is needed is a free and open debate about Islam, not meaningless platitudes from the likes of Hughes. What is needed is an end to illiberal initiatives such as censorship and heresy laws. Why is Hughes silent about the illiberal inequality of Sharia law? If Islam is what he suggests it is, then why can't the issues be discussed? Why can't Islam be criticised in the way that Christianity was criticised by Voltaire? How dare this man call himself a liberal!

The let’s pretend approach to politics is very dangerous and naive.

Brigitte Gabriel on the New Al-Zawahiri Tape

Al-Zawahiri, the second in command of Al-Qaida, released a new video message to Pakistani people yesterday, which shows the desperation of Al-Qaida to keep on going in its supposedly strongest region. Al-Qaida is fighting to survive and has lost its fundamental strength in the last few years. The U.S. government has killed or captured over 60% of Al-Qaida's leadership.

Whether you agree or disagree with the previous administration's War on Terror, it has been successful on all fronts:

• We have done major damage to Al-Qaida's operation and leadership destroying 60% of its command structure. Al-Qaida today is even hurting for funds. Al-Zawahiri appealed to the Pakistanis in his video to support the organization with much-needed funding to carry on operations.
• We have brought democracy to Iraq where today there are almost 100 different political groups practicing democracy and participating in the government system. Iraq today is the envy of its surrounding neighbors such as Iran, Syria, Egypt and many others - thanks to the U.S. and its allies.
• We have eliminated the dictator Saddam Hussein who posed a major threat to the region and our interest.
• We have protected the homeland form a major terrorist attacks since 2001.
• Our immediate military involvement in Pakistan working with the secular military and applying pressure on the government has helped choke Al-Qaida in its stronghold.
All the above successes were achieved through strong, authoritative confrontation with terror. Despite all the criticism for the way we fought the War on Terror, the results speak for themselves.

Brigitte Gabriel, the New York Times bestselling author of They Must Be Stopped and president of Act! for America can provide in-depth analysis and commentary on Al-Zawahiri.

Aspects of Islam Explained: The Dhimmi Contract

2009-07-13T22:24:00.000+01:00

The following is a short film about second class status for non Muslims and the protection money that they are obliged to pay. It explains why some Muslims are inclined to be offended about Christmas and Christian religious symbols, why they see Christians preaching in ‘a Muslim area’ as a hate crime, and why they demand eternal respect.

The British Government, in its constant appeasement of Islam and passing of laws that undermine Western society, appears to be trying to make dhimmitude official in Britain.

FIFA Guilty Of Appeasing Islam: Christian Prayers Bad, Muslim Prayers Good

2009-07-05T20:04:00.002+01:00

International football has thrown its weight behind Islam and Sharia Barbarity in its double standards on the issue of prayers on the football field. Brazil was censured for its Christian prayers at the Confederation Cup final (here is the story in English) whereas the Egyptian side which faced Mecca in prayer after their defeat of Italy were not criticised. FIFA has proved to be an anti Christian pro Islamic organisation that one would guess supports the institution of a global caliphate. FIFA by conjoining Islamic pray while coming down hard on Christian prayer is acting out sharia law which discriminates against Christians.

No wonder it is Christian football fans in Great Britain who are leading the opposition toward Islamisation.

Contact FIFA and complain about its rampant anti Christian bias, its position is completely unacceptible:

Football Fans Come Out Against Islamisation: Birmingham – 4 July 2009

2009-07-05T11:38:00.001+01:00

It seems that football supporters are now organising against Islamisation. There have been several demonstrations against Islamisation and their movement seems to grow with each event. Of course this movement appears to have started following a great many Islamic demonstrations against Britain and the British. We witnessed the threats that were issued to non Muslims at the protest outside the Danish embassy in London response to the Motoons that lampooned the so-called prophet of Islam; we saw the shameful mob that came out to abuse British soldiers in Luton; we witnessed the way an Islamic mob chased the police through the streets of London. We also saw that the authorities appeared to ‘let off’ the people engaged in such disorderly and threatening activities.

It now appears that, like the Islamic groups, they are a movement that can mobilise large numbers at short notice. The Government, due to its appeasement of Islamism and anti-Western policy making, has now created a situation where there is the danger of both groups assembling in vast numbers at the same time. People have been warning the politicians that this might happen for years. I hope they are proud of themselves on ignoring sensible advice and in so doing creating this unstable situation. The Government’s encouragement of Sharia and its appeasement of Islamism via its misguided adherence to the divisive secular religion of multiculturalism has effectively created a situation where there are potentially warring factions within the United Kingdom. As the Government continues in its deafness to reason I would guess that this situation can only get worse.

Woman Accused Of Laughing In Public: Business As Usual In The Islamic World

2009-07-05T11:20:00.000+01:00

A Palestinian woman was enjoying a day at the beach with some pals in Gaza and was arrested for laughing (see the Jerusalem Post for the story). Other damning charges levelled against her were swimming without a burkah and suspicion of swimming with people that were not related to her. This is business as usual in the Islamic world where women are no better than beasts of burden.

What is so perplexing in the West is that so-called progressives are making decisions that increase the likelihood of such restrictions becoming the law of the land here. They claim that such a scenario is unlikely because the large number of Muslims who want to institute such a regime are just a minority who misunderstand their religion. However, they are very slow at producing incontrovertible evidence to back up this opinion. I very much doubt that it is possible to produce such evidence.

Many European politicians seem keen on supporting and providing funds to the barbarian Hamas regime that holds power in Gaza. What planet are these so-called leaders on – they are effectively supporting full Sharia law when they give legitimacy to Hamas. Western leaders who support Hamas even slightly are not fit to hold office and are condoning crimes against humanity. Sharia law is a crime against humanity by any civilised definition, it should be outlawed worldwide, and tree hugging Western leaders should not be encouraging it. Hamas is a terrorist organisation and any Government, or individual who supports or sympathises with it in any way is assisting terrorists.

The flow of money (the tree huggers call it aid) from all Western countries should be stopped because there is too much of a risk of it falling into the hands of terrorists. After all, a majority of Palestinian voters supported Hamas – this means that a majority of Palestinians sympathise with terrorism.

If not supporting the Palestinians somehow offends the Muslim world then let the Muslim world be offended.

Abolish The New Labour Sharia State

2009-07-05T11:13:00.000+01:00

The Daily Mail gained access to a Sharia Court in Great Britain and the article can be found HERE.

I very much doubt that Sharia courts would have been legalised in Britain if it was not for the recent acts of terrorism that have been perpetrated by Islamic extremists. I also doubt that vast amounts of money would have been poured into the Muslim community either.

To legitimise sharia courts following terrorist attacks such as 9/11 and 7/7 appears to be a reward to those who committed those outrageous acts. Therefore the British Government that effectively legalised them is guilty of giving comfort to terrorists. These terrible institutions undermine the rule of law by effectively creating a parallel legal system and should be made illegal as soon as possible along with the rest of the fledgling sharia state that has been rolled out by New Labour. They represent a slippery slope to full sharia and I doubt that any New Labour politician can provide incontrovertible evidence to prove me wrong on this issue. By supporting Sharia, New Labour is showing that it is anti women, anti equality, anti freedom, anti democractic, homophobic, opposed to religious equality, and opposed to basic human rights.

It looks like the Tories with be the next Government and they will have the responsibility to do the job. If they prove too timid to act appropriately then I fear that the so-called ‘far right’ will make huge gains subsequently. It is time for politicians to stand up for the British people and protect their ancient freedoms and culture.

Tragedy in Viareggio

2009-06-30T17:58:00.006+01:00

The Italian resort town of Viareggio was recovering today in the aftermath of an explosion that has been reported to be the result of a train crashing into to some gas cannisters. I would not normally report on this sort of news item but since I am in Viareggio I will write off topic on this occasion.

The explosion, which left many people dead, happened in the residential area of the town which is away from the main seafront tourist area. The area of this tragedy has been cordened off by the police and there appears to be a media presence in the area with satalite dishes and film cameras in evidence.

Film About Radical Islam Is A Hit In America

2009-06-22T20:31:00.004+01:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CONTROVERSIAL FILM ABOUT U.S. RADICAL ISLAM DRAWS HUGE CROWDS AT SCREENINGS ACROSS THE COUNTRY

CLARION FUND URGES COMMUNITY LEADERS TO SHOW THE THIRD JIHAD IN EVERY SCHOOL, HOUSE OF WORSHIP IN AMERICA

(PORTSMOUTH, NH – June 22, 2009) – The Clarion Fund announced today that screenings of its newest documentary film, The Third Jihad, have drawn capacity crowds in more than 30 cities across the United States since the film’s premiere at the National Press Club in Washington, DC, last month.

Highlights have included gala events at the Simon Wiesenthal Center’s Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles on May 17, and The Directors Guild in New York City on June 11, both stunning successes.

“Thousands have now seen this important film. It is imperative that we continue with screenings of the film in every school, church, synagogue and mosque in America,” said Peter Connors, Executive Director of Clarion. “Education is the best way to fight the threat of radical Islam, and organizing a community screening of The Third Jihad is an easy and effective way to inform others about this clear and present crisis affecting the American public.”

The Third Jihad, which is narrated by Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim, former physician to the U.S. Congress and founder and president of The American-Islamic Forum for Democracy, centers on the FBI discovery of a Grand Jihad Manifesto calling for “civilization jihadist process,” a cultural jihad to undermine the U.S. from within using non-violent strategies. Dr. Jasser illustrates how this silent war has already begun in America and other Western countries.

Because DVD copies of the film are intended for personal viewing only, individuals interested in creating a screening event for more than 10 additional viewers should visit the film’s official website, www.TheThirdJihad.com, to purchase a ‘Screening Kit.’ The kit includes a copy of The Third Jihad, a moderator’s manual, and full-color movie posters.

“While screenings can be arranged for large groups, we encourage individuals to also consider screening the film in their homes and offices for close family and friends,” said Connors. “Intimate gatherings are an excellent way to communicate these important messages to the people you care about and provide them with the information they need to secure their rights and freedoms.”

The film features interviews with experts on radical Islam and American security specialists, including leading expert professor Bernard Lewis, former New York City mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani, Senator Joseph I. Lieberman, CIA Director R. James Woolsey, New York City Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly, as well as a first-hand account from a former terrorist. All those interviewed agree that the spread of Islamic fundamentalism in America is a societal reality that cannot be ignored.

WARNING: Very Upsetting Footage

Where are the voices of our imbecile rulers in response to this? Is this what happens when Obama tries to open dialogue with the Mullahs - he should be ashamed of himself? The Obama regime has helped cause this situation by its appeasement. The West must stop appeasing the Iranian regime and it should stop appeasing Islam.

Obama -if it was Israel doing this you would be acting, why are Islamic regimes allowed to get away with it?

Throwing off the Yoke of Fascist Islamism in Iran: People Are Dying And All They Want Is Freedom – This Is What Islam Does When It Is Allowed To Rule!

The fascist Islamist theocracy of Iran is killing people whose only wish is to live in freedom. This is the reason why Islamism must be opposed in Europe and the wider West and why politicians that strengthen the cause of Islam in the West must be opposed. Western leaders who want to negotiate with the Iranian regime are enemies of humanity, they are guilty of sympathising with savages!

WARNING: The scenes in the following videos are very disturbing. But if you are supporter of the political left who constantly criticises the West for things that happened hundreds of years ago you should watch and learn – this is what it means when some non Western ideologies get their way. Watch and learn you anti Western left wing imbeciles! Obama hang you head in shame for giving compfort to this fascist tyranny!

Islamists Thumb Their Noses At British Values By Demanding Segregation Of Men And Women

2009-06-18T20:56:00.000+01:00

As the Government continues its policy of demanding repeated concessions from British culture yet another instance of gender apartheid is demanded by Islamists. This demonstrates that such people have nothing but contempt for British society.

More on this can be seen HERE.

It is time for the Government to stop undermining British culture and vilifying those who speak out in favour of it and start confronting those who want to undermine the basic principles of equality between men and women.

Where are the feminists? Do they still stand up for British women?

Locals consulted over alternative uses for 'Olympics mega-mosque' site at West Ham

2009-06-18T20:32:00.000+01:00

Three options offered to residents at Have-Your-Say event organised by opposition campaign group

A children's entertainer - and a bouncy castle - will greet Newham residents this weekend at a local consultation about the controversial mega-mosque proposed for West Ham, close to the site of the 2012 Olympic stadium.

The Have-Your-Say event is being organised by a campaign group who oppose the mosque, led by Cllr Alan Craig leader of the Opposition on Newham Council, who has invited Mayor of London Boris Johnson, Mayor of Newham Sir Robin Wales and other key decision-makers and planners (see attached letter to Boris Johnson).

"We are holding this family-friendly event in order to offer local residents the hope of alternative and better uses for the site than this massive mosque. We have had three options drawn up by urban planners Howard Sharp & Partners, including a flagship mixed-use proposal of homes, shops and community facilities for the site that could kick-start sustainable regeneration of the wider area around West Ham station.

"We want to ask local people what they think and empower them to express their views," said Cllr Craig who is leader of the Christian Peoples Alliance. "They have been kept in the dark both by Newham Council and by the Islamic group behind the mega-mosque Tablighi Jamaat. If it goes ahead the mosque would massively impact locals' lives, so we are encouraging them to have a look at viable alternatives and give their opinions."

The consultation event is open to the public and will take place at Tom and Jerry's Restaurant, 1 Leywick Street, West Ham, E15, between 10am and 2pm this Saturday, 20th June.

The website of the mega-mosque opposition campaign is at www.MegaMosqueNoThanks.com

Change the British Libel Laws to Protect Freedom of Expression

2009-06-17T21:14:00.001+01:00

In the following radio programme, Gary Null Speaks to Rachel Ehrenfeld who wrote a book called ‘Funding Evil: How Terrorism Is Financed – and How to Stop It’. The programme can be accessed by clicking the link below:

The Gary Null Show: Guest Rachel Ehrenfeld

The foreword to the book was written by R. James Woolsey, Director of Central Intelligence, 1993-95. The case of Rachel Ehrenfeld illustrates perfectly how freedom in Britain is gradually being destroyed. It demonstrates why British libel laws need reforming to stop them being used as instruments of intimidation. Britain was once the cradle of liberty but is now the destination of choice for libel tourists determined to bully and cajole those who they want to silence. Such activity is against the public interest and must be stopped.

The unwillingness of the British Government to change the libel laws, its institution of heresy laws, and its own deliberate destruction of freedom of expression shows that it is unwilling to halt the process of Islamisation and is unwilling to stand up for democracy and freedom. As such, the British Government has become an instrument of tyranny.

Iranians Protest in Vienna Against Islamist Tyranny

2009-06-16T22:13:00.008+01:00

A demonstration against the oppressive Islamist regime in Iran took place in Vienna today. ESW took the following photographs of the event:

Scenes like these illustrate the growing discontent of Iranian exiles in Austria with regard to the shameful Islamist tyranny that currently holds the people of Iran down under an oppressive yoke. Iranians who oppose Islamism in their own country and around the world deserve our support and encouragement.

The events in Vienna are not isolated, other demonstrations in support of the Iranian dissidents who are standing up for freedom were repeated across the Western world. A demonstration took place today at Rådhuspladsen, the Town Hall Square, in central Copenhagen. Estimates suggest that over 1000 people were in attendance. Other events have taken place in Paris, Toronto, and Los Angeles.

Non Iranians should join such demonstrations to show support and solidarity with those who have suffered and are suffering at the hands of Iranian theocracy. Iran is an example why Islamism should be opposed in the West, and why Western leaders are wrong to encourage it at home and abroad.

Prime Minister Netanyahu's Foreign Policy Speech to the Nation, June 14, 2009

2009-06-13T12:00:00.004+01:00

Netanyahu Speech Press Kit

Timeline of Israeli-Arab Peace Initiatives Since 1977

Israeli-Palestinian Economic Cooperation

The Israeli and Palestinian economies are closely interconnected. If both economies are independently stable, peace can be a reality. [1]

A 2009 Israeli government report to the Ad Hoc Liaison Committee proposes developing Palestinian infrastructure and creating jobs in conjunction with the removal of Israeli roadblocks in the West Bank to ease Palestinian movement without placing Israeli society at risk. [2]

"Economic development does not solve problems, it mitigates them and makes them more accessible for solution, and creates a stronger political base," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in 2008. [3] Netanyahu’s statement is based on the belief that Iran and its terrorist proxies overran Israel’s previous peace initiatives in the form of land withdrawals. The prime minister believes a Palestinian state is possible once the Palestinian economy is strengthened, thereby helping to prevent future Iranian influence in the Palestinian territories. [4]

There is already considerable trade between Israel and the Palestinian territories. A 2007 study by the Palestine International Business Forum (PIBF) states that Israel consumes 90 percent of Palestinian exports and is the source of 74 percent of Palestinian imports, showing a significant tie between Israel to the Palestinian economy. [5]

Another report details economic progress in the West Bank since early 2008. According to the report, economic cooperation and interaction between the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority has resulted in [6]:

• A 35 percent increase in trade between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA);

• A 24 percent increase in daily wages in the West Bank;

• Substantial growth in agricultural produce originating from the West Bank;

• An increase in banking sector profits.

There was also significant growth in the West Bank’s tourism industry and a 12.7 percent increase in the number of Palestinians employed by Israeli-owned businesses. [7]

These improvements in the Palestinian economy were not happenstance. Israel took specific steps in 2008 to ensure Palestinian economic growth:

• Eased access and movement by removing roadblocks and checkpoints; [8]

• Increased the number of Palestinians allowed to work in Israel; [9]

• Issued 81 percent more permissions for Palestinians who conduct a large volume of business and conduct business in Israel; [10]

• Supported a number of long-term development projects in the Palestinians towns of Jenin and Tarkumiya and an agro-industrial park in Jericho; [11]

• Built roads, sewage and housing in Ramallah and Nablus, built schools in Jilabun and Jenin, generating many new jobs; [12]

• Improved access to electricity by assisting with the launch of four electricity substations; this connected villages to electricity networks and constructing power grids in Palestinian villages; [13]

• Launched the Jenin Pilot Project, which seeks to strengthen the Palestinian Security Forces, improve the local economy and promote economic projects to improve daily life for Palestinians. [14]

Israel also works with Palestinian customs offices and has established an Israeli-Palestinian Chamber of Commerce and the Palestinian Israeli Business Forum. A joint economic committee between Israel’s Ministry of Finance and its Palestinian counterpart meets regularly to discuss issues such as Palestinian workers in Israel and the transfer of funds to Gaza. [15]

Other joint committees were created under the Oslo Accords and continue to foster cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians in different fields such as tourism, transportation, water, health, welfare and telecommunications, which have all met at least once in 2008. [16]

The PIBF study that dates back to 2007 projected that Israeli and Palestinian economic cooperation could result in $25 billion in exports and income profits, as well as the creation of a million jobs for both Israelis and Palestinians. [17]

The study also stated that the growth could only happen if the Palestinians build a stable economy and that, with economic interdependence, Israelis and Palestinians could not afford to wage war on each other.

Israel also has worked to develop understanding, networking and dialogue between Israelis and Palestinians through organizations such as MASHAV and People to People. [18]

Quotes on Economic Peace by PM Netanyahu

• “There is an important future for the Palestinian economy and the Palestinian-Israeli economic relationship. We intend to invest an enormous amount in this area. The faster it moves, the stronger the Palestinian economy becomes and the stronger the peace between our peoples becomes.” [19]

• “We must weave an economic peace alongside a political process. That means that we have to strengthen the moderate parts of the Palestinian economy by handing rapid growth in those areas, rapid economic growth that gives a stake for peace for the ordinary Palestinians." [20]

Palestinian Culture of Hate

Despite cooperation between the two sides, the Palestinian Authority and Iran-backed Hamas continue to promote a culture of hate that is widespread in Palestinian culture, particularly in Palestinian schools, Gaza’s Hamas-ruled Palestinian government and Palestinian media. For example:

• On May 5, the Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyam reported that the PA named its new computer center after Dalal Mughrabi, a female terrorist who in 1978 killed 37 civilians—including 12 children—in a bus hijacking in Israel. American photographer Gail Rubin was among those killed in the attack. [21]

• In Palestinian classrooms, schoolchildren are taught that Israelis are the enemy and Palestinian TV regularly airs programs geared towards children that encourage them to kill Israelis and thus achieve martyrdom. [22]

• Hamas’s own charter calls for killing Jews. It states, “The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them); until the Jews hide behind rocks and trees, which will cry: O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him!” [23] “The indoctrination campaign must involve ulama, educators, teachers and information and media experts, as well as all intellectuals, especially the young people and the sheikhs of Islamic movements. It is [also] necessary to introduce essential changes in the curricula, in order to eliminate the influences of the intellectual invasion which were inflicted upon them by the Orientalists and the missionaries.” [24]

Just last month, Abbas rejected the idea of a Jewish state and recently met with Palestinian youth leaders where he held up a framed map of Palestine – clearly labeled in English - that covered all of Israel. “I say this clearly: I do not accept the Jewish State, call it what you will," Abbas said during the meeting in Ramallah. The photo of Abbas holding the map appeared on the front pages of both Palestinian Authority daily newspapers. [25]

Recent Palestinian Terrorist Activities in 2009

• June 8: Ten gunmen approach the Nahal Oz border crossing between Gaza and Israel, with a large quantity of explosives loaded on horses, seeking to infiltrate Israel’s border and kidnap IDF soldiers. The gunmen opened fire on an IDF force by the crossing, which returned fire, killing four militants. [26]

• May 22: Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) operatives open fire at IDF soldiers by the Kerem Shalom goods crossing along the Israel-Gaza border. The soldiers return fire and kill the terrorists. [27]

• May 22: An IED (Improvised Explosive Device), targeting an IDF patrol, explodes near the Karni crossing. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) claimed responsibility for the attack, although it did not result in any casualties. [28]

• May 19: Iran-backed Hamas fires a Qassam rocket, hitting a Sderot home. Two victims were treated for shock and the home was moderately damaged. [29]

• May 3: An Israeli soldier is stabbed in the neck and moderately injured when getting off a bus in Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv. The Arab attacker fled the scene, but was caught the next day. [30]

• April 29: An IED device explodes by the Erez Crossing in the Gaza Strip. There were no casualties. Members of PIJ and the Fatah-affiliated Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade claimed responsibility for the attack. [31]

• April 13: The Israeli Navy discovers an unmanned vessel off the coast of the Gaza Strip. Upon approaching the boat, it exploded but caused no damage. The navy suspected that hundreds of tons of explosives were aboard the boat and the target was a navy ship. [32]

• April 7: A resident of Jabal Mukaber in East Jerusalem tries to run over three policemen in Sur Baher (another neighborhood in East Jerusalem) with his vehicle. The policemen, who sustained minor injuries, shot and killed the terrorist. [33]

• April 4: Basma Awad al-Nabari, 15, opens fire on Israeli Border Police at the Shoket Junction in southern Israel. The police try to persuade al-Nabari to turn herself in, but fail. When she continues to shoot they return fire and kill her. [34]

• April 2: An axe-wielding terrorist enters the settlement of Bat Ayin in the West Bank and murders 16 year-old Shlomo Nativ, and attempts to murder a 7-year-old child. Another resident scuffles with the terrorist but he manages to flee the scene. [35]

• March 31: IDF soldiers discover four terrorists placing an IED near the Gaza Strip security fence. Two terrorists were killed in the ensuing gun battle and large quantities of explosives are found. [36]

• March 21: Police foil a terrorist attack in Haifa. A private vehicle wired with explosives is found outside the entrance of the Lev HaMifratz shopping mall. Approximately 100 pounds (45kg) of explosives are found in the vehicle. [37]

• March 7: An Israeli civilian sustains minor injuries when stones are thrown at him near the city of Hebron in the West Bank. [38]

• March 5: A Palestinian drives a bulldozer into a police patrol car in Jerusalem. The bulldozer crosses the intersection, plows into the car a number of times, overturning it, jamming the car against a street light and a bus on the other side of the street. A policeman sustains light injuries. [39]

• March 5: An anti-tank missile is fired at an IDF patrol on the Israeli side of the Gaza border security fence. [40]

• March 1: Nine rockets hit towns and communities in the Western Negev. One rocket hits a house in the city of Sderot. In a separate incident, an Israeli civilian sustains injuries when stones are thrown at his car, north of Ramallah. [41]

Muslim Persecution of Christians

2009-06-13T11:05:00.002+01:00

The following video shows some of the human rights abuses that are perpetrated in the name of Islam. Are these instances of un-Islamic behaviour by people who consider themselves Muslims, as Western governments would have us believe, or are they so common in countries where Islam has real power that they are somehow derived from Islamic teaching?

As the West becomes more Islamic, a fully open debate on the true nature of Islam is urgently required. Such a debate must take place in an environment of true freedom of expression for it to have any meaning. Why do Western governments fear and resist such a debate? What do they want to cover up?

WARNING: Some disturbing images are present in this video:

Freedom of Speech in America: Islamo-Fascism and Nonie Darwish Come to Purdue

The march of Islamic norms in America is undermining freedom of speech, even on university campuses. For academic freedom and the fruits that such freedom produces it is absolutely essential that freedom of speech exists free of the influence of religious dogma. If the stifling of free speech continues in America and the West then living standards in the Western world will inevitably decline to the levels of the Islamic world.

Top 10 Quran quotes every woman MUST SEE

2009-06-10T18:53:00.008+01:00

The following is via ACT for America:

The next time you hear someone claim that Islam affords equal rights and protections to women, pull out the “Top 10” list below. You might want to add that in one of the hadith (the sayings and traditions of Mohammed), Mohammed claimed he was given a look into hell and saw that it was filled mostly with women because they were ungrateful to their husbands (Sahih Bukhari 2,18,61).

January 11, 2008 by Infidelesto on • Comments

http://infidelsarecool.com/2008/01/11/top-10-quran-quotes-every-woman-must-see/

Tell every woman you know about these verses. The oppression of women that Islam advocates is not only disturbing, but is direct contrast with everything that Western civilization stands for when it comes to the rights of women.

These are referenced from an article published from the American Thinker in 2005. Each one goes into much greater detail if you are interested in reading more on each verse. The article is here: Top 10 rules in the Quran that oppress women

10. A husband has sex with his wife, as a plow goes into a field.

The Quran in Sura (Chapter) 2:223 says:

Your women are your fields, so go into your fields whichever way you like . . . . (MAS Abdel Haleem, The Qur’an, Oxford UP, 2004)

9. Husbands are a degree above their wives.

The Quran in Sura 2:228 says:

. . . Wives have the same rights as the husbands have on them in accordance with the generally known principles. Of course, men are a degree above them in status . . . (Sayyid Abul A’La Maududi, The Meaning of the Qur’an, vol. 1, p. 165)

8. A male gets a double share of the inheritance over that of a female.

The Quran in Sura 4:11 says:

The share of the male shall be twice that of a female . . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 311)

7. A woman’s testimony counts half of a man’s testimony.

The Quran in Sura 2:282 says:

And let two men from among you bear witness to all such documents [contracts of loans without interest]. But if two men be not available, there should be one man and two women to bear witness so that if one of the women forgets (anything), the other may remind her. (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 205).

6. A wife may remarry her ex-husband if and only if she marries another man and then this second man divorces her.

The Quran in Sura 2:230 says:

And if the husband divorces his wife (for the third time), she shall not remain his lawful wife after this (absolute) divorce, unless she marries another husband and the second husband divorces her. [In that case] there is no harm if they [the first couple] remarry . . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 165)

5. Slave-girls are sexual property for their male owners.

The Quran in Sura 4:24 says:

And forbidden to you are wedded wives of other people except those who have fallen in your hands [as prisoners of war] . . . (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 319).

4. A man may be polygamous with up to four wives.

The Quran in Sura 4:3 says:

And if you be apprehensive that you will not be able to do justice to the orphans, you may marry two or three or four women whom you choose. But if you apprehend that you might not be able to do justice to them, then marry only one wife, or marry those who have fallen in your possession. (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 305)

3. A husband may simply get rid of one of his undesirable wives.

The Quran in Sura 4:129 says:

It is not within your power to be perfectly equitable in your treatment with all your wives, even if you wish to be so; therefore, [in order to satisfy the dictates of Divine Law] do not lean towards one wife so as to leave the other in a state of suspense. (Maududi, vol. 1, p. 381)

2. Husbands may hit their wives even if the husbands merely fear highhandedness in their wives (quite apart from whether they actually are highhanded).

The Quran in Sura 4:34 says:

4:34 . . . If you fear highhandedness from your wives, remind them [of the teaching of God], then ignore them when you go to bed, then hit them. If they obey you, you have no right to act against them. God is most high and great. (Haleem, emphasis added)

1. Mature men are allowed to marry prepubescent girls.

The Quran in Sura 65:1, 4 says:

65:1 O Prophet, when you [and the believers] divorce women, divorce them for their prescribed waiting—period and count the waiting—period accurately . . . 4 And if you are in doubt about those of your women who have despaired of menstruation, (you should know that) their waiting period is three months, and the same applies to those who have not menstruated as yet. As for pregnant women, their period ends when they have delivered their burden. (Maududi, vol. 5, pp. 599 and 617, emphasis added)

I don’t speak Dutch but Geert is clearly happy in the following video from lnfidel entitled ‘PVV: De Grote Winnaar!!’ and when he is happy I am happy. Geert Wilders is a true opponent of Islamisation and when he speaks the whole of Europe should listen. The Counter Jihad is making significant progress in Europe!

A video about Obama's appeasement and his servile attitude towards Islam. Obama's spin in favour of Islam and against Western Civilisation is exposed in this video. Obama is showing that he is an advocate of Islam rather than an advocate of the national interst of the United States of America. He ignores the historic injuries that Islamic imperialism has inflicted on the world and tries to suggest that it was the West, the most tolerant civilisation that has ever existed, and not the Asiatic despots that was to blame for the conflicts that occured in the past. Obama's entire foreign policy is based on fantasy and wishful thinking and as such is doomed to failure.

Counter Jihad Begins To Influence The Politics Of Europe

2009-06-06T10:12:00.004+01:00

Exit polls (see article at telegraph.co.uk) suggest that Geert Wilders' party will make massive gains in the European Parliament elections.

If these are accurate, and I have no reason to believe that they are not, then it is a magnificent achievement by Geert Wilders and his party and encouraging to all of us in Europe who believe in freedom. It appears that a new politics is starting to emerge in Europe and establishment parties are losing their grip on power and deservedly so.

I am sure that the European elections will be doubly gratifying to Geert Wilders, firstly because his party is showing the way for the whole of Europe and secondly because Gordon Brown, whose government banned him from Great Britain, is facing political oblivion as the Labour Party becomes politically untenable.

People are abandoning Labour not just because of the expenses row or even its incompetent running of the economy. Many people are sick and tired of the political oppression of the Labour government, its drive to control and micromanage the lives of individuals, its institution of heresy laws to try to prevent debate on the issue of Islamisation, and the fact that it has presided over an unprecedented period of mega-immigration that the public does not want. The recent political crisis is only that last straw in a process of rising popular resentment caused by wilful ignorance of the popular will. The people want to see an end to Islamisation, political correctness and the nanny state. They want to see government in the national interest and not in the interests of a perverted Socialist experiment that aims to implement the deluded daydreams of politicians who seem to have a difficulty in accepting the nature of the real world.

Those who have been involved in the counter jihad movement have played a role in helping create the new political environment that is now emerging in Europe, and the new possibilities for rational policy making. I would say that the Counter Jihad’s support of Geert Wilders has contributed, at least in a small way, to his success. Members of the Counter Jihad helped facilitate his aborted trip to the House of Lords that helped him gain huge publicity in the Netherlands when he was turned away at the border. It was after that that he began to make considerable progress in the opinion polls. It seems now that the Counter Jihad is starting to have an impact on the political history of Europe.

It would be good to see the emergence of a Counter Jihad Group in the European Parliament led by Geert Wilders’ party and guided by Geert Wilders’ political philosophy. Geert Wilders approach is a model for all true conservative parties in Europe. In my view the most important task for conservatives in the next few years is for them to represent the interests of Western Civilisation and the virtues of free speech and individual responsibility that are its most cherished values. Geert Wilders is the main champion of these values and the natural leader of true conservatives in Europe.

The End Is Nigh For the Dutch Political Establishment

2009-05-30T13:33:00.003+01:00

It seems that Geert Wilders, champion of freedom and advocate of Western Civilisation, will soon reach the pinnacle of political power in the Netherlands. People in Holland are realising that the establishment parties want to strip them of their rights, of their country, and of their history. Many now realise that if they want to have a true democracy in the Netherlands with the right to speak one’s mind protected and Dutch culture preserved then the only thing to do is vote for Geert Wilders’ Freedom Party. Gates of Vienna discusses an article on radionetherlands shows that the writing is on the wall and the traditional political classes know that they will soon have no power and no influence. The Dutch elite is rattled and desperate and trying to dream its way from the edge of political oblivion.

The international elite have, up until now, found ways to manage our democracy through the established political parties. Parties like the Freedom Party in the Netherlands are showing the people the way back to political significance. For too long the voice of the people as been managed and twisted so that it can be ignored.

The days when the elite can place a list of unsatisfactory candidates on a ballot form and call it democracy are well and truly over. During the last few weeks in Britain, we have seen the result of attracting that sort of ‘talent’ to public life. Democracy will soon be taken back from the multinationals who found a way to steel it and it will be returned to the people. All the people have to do is to totally reject the mainstream parties who have brought nothing but disaster and colonisation to our countries. Vote out the failed political establishment!

Frustration Boils Over in Luton on 24 May 2009

2009-05-27T22:05:00.002+01:00

The following YouTube footage from lutonmay24th2009 (Hat Tip: Lionheart) shows a demonstration in Luton on 24 May 2009 (WARNING: there is bad language in some of the footage):

The scenes in Luton were simultaneously depressing and encouraging. They were depressing because I do not like aggressive demonstrations and would like to see calm and rational debate on the issue of Islamisation. They were encouraging in the sense that the people in Luton were standing up for their right to be listened to. It appears that there are many people in Luton who are now actively engaging in politics and trying as best they can to understand the social milieu that surrounds them and influences their lives. I am in no way endorsing this style of protest and would encourage all those who oppose Islamisation to do so in a civilised and non violent way. However, I can understand that people feel pent up frustration about being ignored.

I suppose that aggressive protest from some elements within the large swath of the population who are concerned about Islamisation was inevitable given the tolerance that the authorities have shown when the Islamists engaged in more aggressive forms of activism. People will remember how an Islamist mob chased police who timidly retreated through the streets of London.

The sight of people in balaclavas is of course chilling, but this is no different to Islamist demonstrations where people conceal their identities with Palestinian headscarves or the chadri. Those protesting in Luton probably felt that what was sauce for the goose could certainly be sauce for the gander.

It appears that a great deal of public money is being put into the Muslim community to combat ‘radicalisation’ but this to many appears to be a reward for bad behaviour. Where is the investment to salve the hurt feelings and social isolation of other people in places like Luton. It seems that young people in other communities may also becoming ‘radicalised’, so where is their radicalisation money? It also seems that the aggressive approach of protest by some Muslim groups has resulted in the erosion of some of our cherished British values such as freedom of expression. It would appear that it is the policy of the British Government is to give rewards to whoever shouts the loudest. This is a very wrong and a very dangerous approach to statecraft and acts to undermine the basic building blocks of civil society. I suspect that the protest in Luton was, to some degree at least, an unconscious reaction to this Government tendency. It also appears that when any ‘dialogue’ takes place under the heading of ‘community cohesion’ tends to be a one way process where anything Western is viewed as expendable. From this perspective the people at the protest in Luton probably felt that the cards are always stacked against them.

Our Government continuously rebukes young people to become interested in and involved in politics, yet when people get involved they are demonised. It seems that the political establishment’s idea of democracy is one where the masses vote from a narrow list of candidates. This is the sort of democracy that exists in China where people are asked to choose between candidates selected by the Communist Party, or in Iran where people can only vote for candidates approved by the Mullahs. This approach means that those who disagree with the status quo have no means to express themselves at the ballot box. This of course allows frustration and anger to build up and fester. In the modern West it would appear that the needs of ‘Davos Culture’ are the main consideration in the organisation of political culture. This means that the financial interests of an international elite takes precedence over the will of the people. Those who really run the world want to be able to move people from country to country as the needs of their economic enterprises dictate. This, of course, is why we have immigration, the doctrine of multiculturalism, and Islamisation. Under this system any dissent that threatens the economic interests of the elite has to be crushed. This is done by:

demonization of those who object to the deconstruction of their society
the formulation of ‘heresy laws’ to prevent free speech and to criminalise dissent
controlling the media and the education system
effectively engaging in gerrymandering by importing voters from the Third World
cow and demoralise any opposition by making people believe that the intolerable situation is somehow inevitable.
demonising any political organisation which doesn’t toe the line

Establishment politicians are at the beck and call of the international elite and as such it is not possible for them to question the system. They are left to pretend that issues that they are not allowed to debate will simply go away. This is undoubtedly the reason for the Labour Party’s abandonment of the white working class who have perhaps suffered the most from mass immigration. Perhaps this is the reason for the more aggressive demonstration seen in Luton and why it might not be an isolated event. Chants of ‘we want our country back’ demonstrate clearly what they want from the Government and this is one thing that establishment parties are not allowed to grant to them. British freedom is in a real mess at the moment!

Islamic Crusades 7: India's Modern Struggle

2009-05-26T20:54:00.003+01:00

OccidentalSoapbox

An excellent addition to the Islamic Crusades series. Many in the West are unaware of the Jihad that has been waged and is waging in India. India and the West are natural allies in the struggle against Islamic jihad. People in the West need to be aware that the West is not the only victim of Islamic terrorism and bullying. People need to ask: Why is Jihad being waged against India? Those in the West who blame Western colonialism for ‘radicalisation’ of Muslims should be aware that Hindu India was the victim of Islamic colonialism that was far more brutal than anything experienced during the British Raj. Members of the Counter Jihad in the Western world should stand shoulder with our brothers and sisters in India.

Tree Hugging in Lund, Sweden

2009-05-25T19:11:00.012+01:00

The counter jihad fact finding tour in Malmo retired to the less Islamised and more attractive city of Lund where we had an evening meal. However, even in Lund, there was evidence of the destructive tendencies of the left wing that is working to consign Sweden and broader Western Civilisation to cultural oblivion.

As this is a university city the indoctrination system of leftist infiltrated higher education is probably responsible. Over indulged middle class students often unthinkingly stumble into left wing politics because they thing that it is somehow clever or trendy. This tendency is a serious weakness of our collective Western culture and more rational governments would be at least trying to develop remedies. The following image of Karl Marx was displayed in a window in Lund:

Marxist subversion is perhaps a major reason why Sweden struggling culturally in the early 21st century. The soul of Sweden is being rotted by Marxist subversion. This and continued mass Islamic immigration may mean that soon what we recognise as Sweden will cease to exist. So much for the misguided Swedish liberal experiment when Sharia law is the law of the land.

While in Lund I was informed that the some of the over indulged students there were going to invade empty houses and act as squatters because their generous student entitlements do not go far enough. I wonder what they will do when they get a dose of the real world and have to work for a living. On second thoughts, they are in Sweden so they will probably live off the state for life, up until the country become an Islamic state of course – then I am sure they will be forced to desist from their self indulgent ways.

I also saw the following image stuck onto the side of a flower bed:

A Google translation of ‘INGA RASISTER TILL EU’ produces ‘NO RACIST TO EU’. Is the implication that anyone who does not believe in and agrees to bow down to the Soviet inspired EU is somehow racist. It would of course fit with the trend of anything not socialist being regarded as racist when opposition to political projects favoured by the left mean that you were branded with racist status.

Notice that the image appears to be signed ROSTA. Perhaps this is a reference to Rosta Windows promoted by the Soviet news agency after the Russian Revolution. That would be consistent with the general impression that I got of Lund, namely a city in the grip of leftist radicalism. I can’t work out what the image represents, but I will have a guess; it appears to me like a group of people raising their middle fingers to Western Civilisation with a picture of an Islamic crescent and star painted on the finger nails.

In conclusion it is quite clear that Sweden is the victim of some kind of political pincer movement mounted from leftist and Islamic directions. The situation in Malmo represents one element and that in Lund represents the other. Will the future of Sweden be a bed of roses, or even a bed of flowers from this particular flowerbed?

The Imagined Copenhagen Beer Hall Putsch: Hysteria Reigns as Opposition to Islamisation Grows

2009-05-25T12:37:00.006+01:00

Hysteria seems to be reigning over at Little Green Footballs with regard to the recent International Civil Liberties Alliance Counter Jihad Conference in Copenhagen. It seems to me that the conference is being depicted as some kind of ‘Copenhagen beer hall putsch’. It is very amusing to read the ideas on Little Green Footballs, perhaps they could one day be compiled into the riveting yarn of an international bestselling novel.

Copenhagen does indeed appear to be a centre of opposition to Islamisation this summer. First we have the event organised by the International Free Press Society, then we have the International Civil Liberties Alliance Counter Jihad Conference, and tomorrow we have SIOE’s conference about EuroMed in the Danish Parliament.

The conspiracy theorists will suggest that recent events in Copenhagen are part of some huge master plan of the Global Counter Jihad Movement. If you are an Islamist or a West hating leftist then please feel free to let your imagination run riot. However, I can confirm that there has been no co-ordination between the three Copenhagen events.

The presence of three separate events in the same city within a short timeframe does illustrate that different groups and organisations are so outraged by the Islamisation of Europe that has been inflicted upon us by our misguided rulers who have stepped well beyond their remit. I suspect that the European political establishment is going to be on the receiving end of a huge political backlash in the forthcoming European elections as the angry population makes is contempt for the ruling political class absolutely clear. Establishment parties across Europe have shown nothing but contempt for the will of the people for far too long. It is surely time for them to learn to do what they find so difficult – to listen. The people say No! to Islamisation! – the politicians will either listen or they will lose their power.

What I can confirm is that the Global Counter Jihad Movement is growing in terms of both power and influence as well as in terms of the vast numbers now involved. The tide is turning in favour of the long suffering people of the Western world.

Why Netanyahu should push forward with settlements and give Obama and his so-called peace process the finger

2009-05-24T18:36:00.004+01:00

The Obama administration wants Israel to forbid the Jews the right of return to their heartland of Judea and Samaria. The Arabs have no legitimate claim to this part of Israel, after all their ancestors stole the land in the first place. For them to refer to an illegal occupation is hypocrisy and laughable. They should get used to the idea that the original owners have returned to reclaim their property. Of course, when they do that other ‘original owners’ of the Middle East and North Africa will inevitably assert their claims. Many people have lectured the West about its colonialism, why are they so silent on the issue of Islamic colonialism. If Western colonialism was wrong then so was the far more brutal Islamic brand of colonialism. It is time for decolonisation of the Islamic Empire and Israel is showing the way.

Netanyahu should tell Obama to go to hell. The arrogance and self defeating approach the Obama administration coupled with its foolhardiness and comical capers when it comes to foreign policy means that he should be defied. In any case the man has not got the bottle to make a difficult decision whatever happens in the world. He has show very clearly that in terms of foreign policy he just gives in to resistance. It seems that all he wants is an easy life a time to enjoy being President of the United States of America.

Israel can’t afford to be a friend to America while Obama, or someone who shares his views, is President. To be friends with Obama means consigning the state of Israel to the history books and no state can ever afford to adopt such a suicidal policy. Even if America is willing to commit national suicide by aligning itself with the Islamic world, Israel is not obliged to follow her off the cliff.

Detractors to such a policy might say that Israel needs America because of the aid that it provides. This is utter nonsense, as the non-aligned movement during the Cold War demonstrated. The non aligned movement compelled the superpowers compete with one another for the favour of its members. When it comes down to it the Arabian Middle East despises America and the West. A more assertive Israeli policy would place the Obama administration on the horns of a dilemma. Israel has other options.

If America under the Obama administration aided and abetted by the anti Israel EU continues to malign, persecute, and defame the state of Israel then in the interests of rational statecraft Israel should cut loose from the West and make other arrangements to ensure its national survival. The most logical alternative to the West is an alliance with Russia. In any case, with rampant Islamisation of the effeminate West, Russia is probably a safer long term bet.

Israel has been the destination for vast numbers of Russian Jews who understand and appreciate the nuances of Russian culture and Russian is widely spoken in Israel. New waves of Russian Jews could also assist in the process of establishing new settlements in Judea and Samaria. It wouldn’t take long to consolidate Jewish settlement in the ancient Jewish heartland. Arabs would learn to live with such a process and in the final analysis would benefit in material terms; they would have more money, enjoy more freedoms, and would not have to suffer the barbarity of sharia law inflicted on their cousins in Gaza.

Another advantage of an alliance with Russia would be that they would no longer have to endure the embarrassment and self inflicted guilt of being part of the West. The do gooders in America and Western Europe would find other, Western, targets for their treasonous rage.

When a country is fighting for its very existence friends who effectively stab it in the back must be dispensed with. The realignment of Israel, a country and a culture that has made an immense contribution to Western Civilisation, would be a great loss to the West. It would be a shame if our leaders, who seem determined to align themselves with those that want to destroy and enslave us, continue to get their way and alienate our true friends in the process. The interests of the people of the Western world, including Israel, are at odds with those who currently hold political power in Washington and Brussels. We need urgent adoption of pro Western policies and the leaders who are willing to formulate and implement them.

Copenhagen Counter Jihad Conference: 16-17 May 2009

2009-05-24T10:08:00.009+01:00

On 16 and 17 May 2009 members of the Counter Jihad assembled in Copenhagen to develop our plans and initiatives for 2009/10 and take the movement to the next level of activism. The conference was organised by the International Civil Liberties Alliance (formerly the Centre for Vigilant Freedom) and followed previous conferences organised in Brussels and Vienna.

Delegates attended from Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and United States. In order to achieve maximum impact for the policies that we developed, relevant information will be communicated to members of our global network for countries that could not send delegates on this occasion.

This was a working meeting, and boy did we work! We had just two days to achieve a great deal and we met all the ambitious targets that we set ourselves. Many initiatives were developed and will be implemented in all parts of our network. I cannot go into detail for reasons of security but the counter jihad will be moving forward with great speed in 2009/10 and the initiatives developed in Copenhagen will have a many useful and practical consequences.

The Global Counter Jihad is now in a very strong position indeed, much work has been taking place behind the scenes and we have overlapping, interconnected, decentralised networks operating globally. These networks will be used to implement the many policies and initiatives that we have now developed. In many ways the recent conference in Copenhagen has brought the work of previous conferences together resulting in a synergy that has produced many unexpected though very useful practical results.

The infrastructure is now in place and our organisation will soon begin a process of expansion.

More information on the conference can be found over at Gates of Vienna and Tundra Tabloids.

A Trip to Malmo for Counter Jihadists

2009-05-20T21:40:00.024+01:00

The Swedish city of Malmo to some extent allows once to take a prescient glance into the future of Europe as immigration and demography make it Islamic. Malmo may not yet be an Islamic city but it is well on its way to being awarded with that status. It was for this reason delegates at the International Civil Liberties Alliance Counter Jihad Conference were invited to take part in a fact finding tour of the city to see what other European cities had in store for them if our political establishment is allowed to continue to sell us down the Islamic river.

For safety’s sake the trip took place in daylight, rather than at night when mobs roam the streets in violent rage. Scorch marks were visible on rubbish bins and the police maintained a constant vigil even when we were there during the daytime. In fact we interviewed some of the police who had the misfortune of being assigned to this area. The video of this interview should be online shortly and is well worth watching.

We paid a visit to the famous Jihad Driving School, a must for any counter jihad tourist wanting to see the future of European driving instruction. There were funny looks from locals as we crossed such sites off in our guide books.

Residents of Herrgården seemed to be marking their territory as Dar Al Islam by using Arabic style lettering, how long will it be before actual Arabic is used in such areas and on street signs? I wonder if such concessions for Arabic culture are paid for out of the public purse. When does the anti Western madness stop, how much more ‘enrichment’ can western society cope with before it ceases to exist in a coherent form?

There is evidence of apartheid like segregation which shows that multiculturalism, when allowed to run to its logical conclusion creates a divided and inharmonious society. We visited a shopping centre that was effectively divided into Islamic and Swedish sections, with the former having the feel of a shopping area of a Middle Eastern city. Our presence resulted in many strange looks from shoppers, so out of place we looked in our Western clothes. It might have been my imagination but you almost feel the tension rising the longer we stayed. Eventually in the interests of cultural respect and interfaith harmony we retreated back to the Swedish enclosure, though even there was evidence of Islamisation - perhaps in the future Swedes will end up shopping in a completely different location altogether.

The political posters advertising demonstrations show the true mindset of Malmo these days. The one below is particularly instructive. In addition to the Arabic language is depicts Israel as a fascist state in order to try to delegitimize it. Such attacks on the only Western democracy in the Middle East illustrate quite clearly the Islamisation of Malmo. Perhaps the Swedish state will soon be grouped with Israel if it does not surrender to Islamist demands with the required degree of alacrity.

Our final stop was at the Grand Mosque of Malmo which is located a safe distance outside the inner city trouble spots in a much more tranquil setting.

A Video About Grasping British Establishment Politicians and How They Are Unfit to Hold Office

2009-05-19T20:10:00.000+01:00

The following video is from HairyChestnuts and is entitled ‘Vote of no confidence’:

The British political establishment have driven the country to a state of ruin and are unfit to govern. It is therefore imperative that people vote in the forthcoming European elections and vote for any party so long as it is not Labour, the Conservatives, or the Liberal Democrats. A vote for the big three parties is a vote for more of the same and a vote for those who it would appear have nothing but contempt for the British people. If enough people follow this advice then the political map can be redrawn, freedoms that have been stolen from us can be returned, and the standard of political discourse improved.

CAIR Declines Opportunity To Put Forward A Case Against The Third Jihad

2009-05-11T19:11:00.001+01:00

After constant demands for the opportunity to present their position, such as those detailed HERE, HERE, and HERE, CAIR has declined to attend a discussion at the Premier of the Clarion Fund’s film The Third Jihad. Is CAIR too chicken to debate this issues in this case, or has the film made such a convincing argument that CAIR will soon become an apostate organisation?
It good to see that CAIR may be recognising what many of us already know, namely that its arguments are unconvincing and feeble.

The following is a press release from The Clarion Fund.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CLARION UNVEILS NEW FILM ABOUT THE THREAT OF RADICAL ISLAM IN AMERICA AT NATIONAL PRESS CLUB

CAIR DECLINES INVITE TO DISCUSSION WITH DEVOUT MUSLIM
FILM NARRATOR, WHO IS EXPECTED TO SPEAK OUT
AGAINST RADICAL ISLAM AT THE THIRD JIHAD PREMIERE

(New York, NY – May 10, 2009) The Clarion Fund announced today that it will premiere its newest documentary film, The Third Jihad, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday, May 13, 2009. In addition to the screening, several American Muslim groups have been invited to participate in a roundtable discussion where the film’s narrator, Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser – a devout Muslim and chairman of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) – and its producers will speak out about the threat of radical Islam in America.

Clarion’s first documentary film, the award-winning Obsession: Radical Islam’s War Against the West, communicates the global threat posed by the radical elements of Islam. The Third Jihad shifts the focus to the growth of radical Islam on American soil via “Cultural Jihad,” the use of the democratic system to transform the American way of life from within to a society governed by Sharia Law (Islamic religious law).

“Clarion Fund recognizes the propagation of radical Islam and the promulgation of Sharia Law within our borders as a clear and present crisis affecting the Muslim American community and the American public at large,” said Peter Connors, Executive Director of Clarion. “Our educational tools and media properties will serve as a platform for the American public – including Muslims – to embrace Western liberties and speak out in a meaningful way to silence radical elements in our midst.”

Among these tools is RadicalIslam.org, the foundation of Clarion’s grassroots movement. The user-friendly website was developed to spread awareness about the threat of radical Islam in America as well as to provide practical response tools. For the launch of the film, the site has been redesigned to include up-to-the-minute updates from major news sources as well as social media-driven networking capabilities.

“We are focused on educating the American public about this eminent threat to their rights and freedoms, with the goal of bringing ‘Creeping Sharia’ to a screeching halt,” explained Raphael Shore, producer of both The Third Jihad and Obsession and the founder of Clarion. “We want to expose the true intent of radical Islam in order to secure the future of the American public at large, including its Muslim community.”

Among those organizations invited to participate in the roundtable discussion is the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). However, CAIR has declined the invitation, a surprising turn of events considering the group’s usual insistence that a representative of their “mainstream Muslim” staff be present at such events to offer a “balanced perspective.” In fact, since the beginning of 2009, CAIR has requested such representation in at least three U.S. events focused on radical Islam.

“We invited CAIR and they said they wanted nothing to do with this film,” said Connors. “CAIR’s response is unfortunate, as The Clarion Fund believes that the only way to address this issue is to discuss it openly and honestly with those who agree with us and those who disagree. Then, based on that education, the American public can decide for itself.”

The Third Jihad, which is narrated by devout Muslim American Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, centers on the FBI discovery of a Grand Jihad Manifesto calling for the destruction of the U.S. and the establishment of a radical Islamist theocracy in its place. The film features interviews with experts on radical Islam and American security specialists, including leading expert professor Bernard Lewis, as well as a first-hand account from a former terrorist. All those interviewed agree that the spread of Islamic fundamentalism in America is a societal reality that cannot be ignored.

Though a shortened version of The Third Jihad has spread virally on the Internet since the beginning of the year, the Washington, D.C. screening will serve as the official launch of the feature-length version of the film.

From Gitmo to the streets of America – Obama’s plan for Islamic fanatics

2009-05-09T14:36:00.000+01:00

In a dangerous act of appeasement, President Obama plans to release Islamic fanatics from Gitmo onto the streets of America. This video entitled ‘Tiahrt: No Welfare for Terrorists’ from securefreedom shows voices of opposition to this foolhardy and dangerous policy.
Is this part of an Obama plan to Islamise America? Is he now following the lead of European leaders who seem to determined to Islamise Europe? It seems that the madcap elite of the Western world are now either completely out of control or experiencing some kind of collective mental breakdown.

Delara Derabi killed by the Iranian regime on 1 May 2009

2009-05-04T09:51:00.001+01:00

The plight of Delara Derabi was highlighted on this blog on 19 April 2009. I now to inform readers about the sad news that she was killed by the Iranian regime on 1 May 2009. More information can be found at Vlad Tepes. The following video (Hat Tip: Vlad Tepes) from NationNewsAgency is entitled ‘BREAKING NEWS Delara Derabi an innocent girl hanged by the ISLAMIC Republic of IRAN’:

It seems that the new American President is keen to improve relations with the barbarous Iranian regime. In the past commentators have suggested that America has caused problems in the world by supporting tyrannical regimes. Its seems now that Obama is continuing that very same policy and in so doing is debasing the cause of human rights and tarnishing America’s reputation in the world. It is clear that Barak Obama’s policy of appeasement is wrong as well as cowardly.
