OBVIOUSLY FIT TO BE TIED

The following piece sums up the case against Islam. Of course there will be a multitude of others who refuse the obvious and choose to look the other way as danger approaches. It's always been that way. History is abundantly clear about that.

ISN'T IT PATHETIC that the only modernization islam permits is what others invent and develop, with a strong emphasis on weaponry and bombs. They don't hesitate to use the modern conveniences invented, developed, and produced in the West, from automobiles and airplanes, to air conditioners and dishwashers.

They send their best and brightest to be educated in our universities, come to the West to receive the finest medical care, and depend on the rest of the world for virtually all of life's necessities, including food.

We give them billions of dollars every year to improve their miserable wastelands but they continue to decline in every way as their religious fanaticism deepens and spreads. They buy our planes, bombs, and weapons to use against us in the jihad while living in a time warp where women are inferior, evil creatures owned by males, and little girls are raped, murdered, and promptly forgotten.

They believe they are superior beings because they believe in a sick, evil, archaic ideology they call religion and demand that the entire world submit to their Allah, or else.

There were no vehicles or tanks in Muhammad's time, no guns or bombs, but when it comes to warfare, they justify using modern technology made available by their evil enemy, the West. Why didn't allah grant them the means to create these marvelous tools of war, since they are the "best of people" and we are despicable filth? In their twisted minds, they always find ways to justify the use of kuffar technology but when it comes to joining the modern, civilized world by abandoning the archaic, asinine, repressive edicts of their prophet, Islam forbids it.

We are fools to sell them weapons, planes, computers, and we are idiots to allow them access to our schools and universities. But the most reckless, foolish, and dangerous blunder ever made by Western "leaders" was to allow these treacherous savages to invade our countries, build their temples of hate, and become citizens of our countries. The myriad of mistakes of the last thirty years vis-a-vis Islam and muslims are nothing short of suicidal.

CHINA CONTINUES TO LEVERAGE RESOURCES

SHANGHAI—Chinese companies have been on a shopping spree in the past month, snapping up tens of billions of dollars' worth of key assets in Iran, Brazil, Russia, Venezuela, Australia and France in a global fire sale set off by the financial crisis.

The deals have allowed China to lock up supplies of oil, minerals, metals and other strategic natural resources it needs to continue to fuel its growth. The sheer scope of the agreements marks a shift in global finance, roiling energy markets and feeding worries about the future availability and prices of those commodities in other countries that compete for them, including the United States.

Just a few months ago, many countries were greeting such overtures from China with suspicion. Today, as corporations and banks in other parts of the world find themselves reluctant or unable to give out money to distressed companies, cash-rich China has become a major force driving new lending and investment.

On Feb. 12, China's state-owned metals giant Chinalco signed a $19.5 billion deal with Australia's Rio Tinto that will eventually double its stake in the world's second-largest mining company.

In three other cases, China has used loans as a way of securing energy supplies. On Feb. 17 and 18, China National Petroleum signed separate agreements with Russia and Venezuela under which China would provide $25 billion and $4 billion in loans, respectively, in exchange for long-term commitments to supply oil. And on Feb. 19, the China Development Bank struck a similar deal with Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company, agreeing to a loan of $10 billion in exchange for oil.

On Saturday, Iran announced that it had signed a $3.2 billion agreement with a Chinese consortium to develop an area beneath the Persian Gulf seabed that is believed to hold about 8 percent of the world's reserves of natural gas.

Even as global financial flows have slowed sharply overall, China has dramatically stepped up its outbound investment. In 2008, its overseas mergers and acquisitions were worth $52.1 billion -- a record, according to the research firm Dealogic. In January and February of this year, Chinese companies invested $16.3 billion abroad, meaning that if the pace holds, the total for 2009 could be nearly double last year's.

Worldwide, the value of mergers and acquisitions transactions so far this year has dropped 35 percent to $384 billion. By comparison, the United States had $186.2 billion in outbound mergers and acquisitions in 2008 and Japan had $74.3 billion.

China's state-run media outlets are calling the acquisition spree an opportunity that comes once in a hundred years, and analysts are drawing parallels to 1980s Japan.

"That China started investing or acquiring some overseas mineral resources companies with relatively low prices during the global economic crisis is quite a normal practice. Japan did the same thing in its prime development period, too," said Xu Xiangchun, consulting director for Mysteel.com, a market research and analysis firm.

It's not just Chinese corporations that are taking advantage of the economic crisis to help others while helping themselves.

The Chinese government also has come to the rescue of ailing countries, such as Jamaica and Pakistan, that it wants as allies, extending generous loans. Even Chinese consumers are taking their money abroad. In a shopping trip last month organized by an online real estate brokerage, a group of 50 individual investors from China traveled to New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco to purchase homes at prices that have crashed since the subprime crisis.

AFRICAN NATIONS UNDER SEIGE

OIL-RICH NIGERIA, population 140-million, now is very close to an all-out"Islamic takeover', warn two Dutch MPs. And this would have a massive impact: from Nigeria, Africa's islamisation would spread fast—resulting in hundreds of millions of refugees.

This would have a massive impact on the future of all of Africa and of the West, warn Dutch parliamentarians Geert Wilders and Martin Bosma of the Party for Freedom, writing in an editorial in the Dutch religious daily, the Reformatorisch Dagblad.

A similar situation of course, also exists in Sudan on the Eastern side of the north-African continent: in this rudderless northern African state, the Jihadist-north's warlords are carrying out an ethnic-cleansing campaign against all the southern tribes, who are mostly animist and/or Christian followers. Nigeria and Sudan also have another important feature in common: Nigeria is rich in oil, and Sudan is located very strategically, straddling the shipping lanes to all the Middle-Eastern oil export terminals.

They said in their joint Dutch-language editorial that the international news media 'often describes such warfare erroneously as isolated conflicts, without placing any importance on the wide-ranging effects these 'isolated local conflicts' will have on any other countries, but especially on the West.

"A conflict is far too often described as a 'civil war', and journalists will write of 'religious tensions' or 'sectarian violence' - thus also constantly creating the immediate impression that these are mere dog versus cat fights which would not affect Western countries in the least.

"However, when one examines such 'civil wars' closely however, these often are imperialistic wars of conquest—in which Islam is always the engine which drives their stated end purpose of Islamic world dominance'.

Nigeria situation is very serious

"A very important expansion of this aggressive islamic war of conquest is now taking place in Nigeria. The situation there now is very serious and will have a most devastating effect on Africa and on the entire Western World."

Nigeria, they point out, has Africa's largest population, namely 140-million people. It also has the second-strongest economy on the African continent because of its oil and other minerals.

Islamic Apartheid: Sharia law:

"Already, in twelve of the 36 states of Nigeria, Sharia has already become the law^#151;this is the Islamic Apartheid law which discriminates against all non-muslims and which treats women as inferior creatures'.

"And once the Jihadists have gained the majority in only seven more Nigerian states, the federal government of Nigeria will be forced into adapting the country's constitution to include Sharia law—which means that in effect, all of Nigeria will then become an Islamic country'.

This damnable but mighty spirit of delusion continues to spread across the blue planet. Wake up, my sleeping ones. This is Good versus Evil, no less today than yesterday. The whole world stacked against Islam. Islam stacked against the rest of the world. But wait, nearly the entire planet joins up with Islam, each group goes along for its own short-sighted reasons. It's the economy, stupid. No, it's our dear political idealism. No, it's the peculiar lure of strange gods who promise us supremacy. The will to power. The blind and the maimed leading the blind and the maimed.

Will Islam actually achieve this Big Takeover? Will no nation under the sun finally rise up against these blood lust barbarians to extinguish this blood whore forever?

We've seen this movie somewhere. The plot line seems familiar. But few can quite remember the details. Those who remember cannot believe. Whether the nations continue to cling to its old ways of grubbing for gold at the expense of all else once held sacred, or whether the nations refuse to cling to its old ways, preferring to practice multicultural peace, love, and understanding instead of taking up arms to defend what is natural, the barbarians continue to creep into every camp.

If you were to ask the average Westerner what "civil war" in Nigeria, the "restive South" in Thailand, the MILF rebels in the Philippines, the newly-formed state of Kosovo, the resurgence of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the London tube bombings, and riots in Sweden had in common, how many people would have the slightest idea?

Woe to those of us who will never know the difference between zero and nothing.

THE TWO ANJEM CHOUDARYS

WHAT KIND OF LAWYER IS Anjem Choudary practicing in the UK? and is he a threat to to British sovereignty and Western values?

1. He was the chairman of the society of Muslim Lawyers in the UK and that he is routine lecturer at the London school of Shariah law. and is the presiding judge in a sharia court.
2. He calls Christmas the "pathway to hellfire", which is because Mohammed defined the Bible as having been corrupted by Jews.
3. He is against all Christian holidays as well as Valentines day.
4. In 2008 he lead a group Muslims to an area where the liquid bombers lived and then warned of another sept 11th in Britain (no threat there I guess?)
5. He has founded two Islamist organizations which were later designated and banned as terrorist by the British government.
6. He has urged Muslims to not cooperate with the police in fighting terrorism
7. He has called for the assassination of the Pope.
8. Identified as a recruiter of jihadists for military training.
9. Has made open media threats to any British Jews who knowingly support Israel
10. Goes on jihad websites as Abou Luqman.and calls for holy war, and plays recordings by Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, as well as Omar Bakri Mohammed
11. Organized protest against the Mohammed Cartoons
12. On 7/7 anniversary Choudary said that Muslims in Britain were "oppressed" and had the right to defend themselves "by whatever means" and should not warn authorities about any planned attacks on Britain
13. Choudary says he condemns the killing of innocent people and the only innocent people are Muslims.
14. Choudary has said many times while calling for a jihad against all non Muslim nations " Muhammad said strike the [infidels] with your wealth, hands and tongue".
15. Choudary has publicly praised the Jihadists for their attack in Mumbai.

And even though there is a never ending list of threats made by this UK Muslim, he does make one thing quite clear that even President George W. Bush and Condeleeza Rice never understood through the entire Presidency. Choudary states again and again that "Islam is not a religion of peace. It is a religion of submission. We need to submit to the will of Allah".

Thanks to Mackie for this comprehensive laundry list of Mr. Choudary's views and actions as he continues his agitation against the British crown and its citizenry who refuse to ignore or accept his treason and charlatanry. Here we have proof yet again that the moniker of "Religion of Peace" is misplaced on Islam—which when translated from the Arabic means "submission" in every sense of the word.

THE DEMOGRAPHIC WINTER

REMEMBER THE 1970s FEAR of the global population bomb, or people explosion? Now we are being told that we must deal with the world population implosion. Global cooling, global warming. This God, that God. This way of worship, that way of worship, This food, that food. This drug, that drug. What's the bloody difference as long as somebody has a job telling somebody else to jump onto some new bandwagon. What's the alternative to a world bloated with alternatives? That's easy.

No alternatives at all. Go man, go.

PASSING THE TORCH TO GEERT

A FAIRLY NEW WEBSITE called SITAmnesty has popped into place and is sprinting formidably to get out the word about Islamic jihad, the raw patriotism of Winston Churchill in the past, and not least, the Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders who appears to have inherited the mantle of the former and is today warning us of the true historical nature of our pernicious enemies in the war at hand. Take notice young sprigs. Inform yourselves.

From the powerful pen of the great British statesman, Sir Winston Churchill we learn...

“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.

A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity.
The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.
Individual Muslims may show splendid qualities. Thousands become the brave and loyal soldiers of the Queen; all know how to die; but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it.

No stronger retrograde force exists in the world.

Far from being moribund, Islam is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science—the science against which it had vainly struggled—the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”

The Nazi leader Heinrich Himmler had this to say about Islam :

“Muslims responded to the call of Muslim leaders and joined our side because of their hatred of our joint Jewish-English-Bolshevik enemies, and because of their belief and respect for, above all—Our Fuehrer.”

In his memoirs Albert Speer wrote about Hitler’s enamour of Islam, reporting a discussion which captures Hitler’s effusive praise for Islam :

“…a religion that believed in spreading the faith by the sword and subjugating all nations to that faith. Such a creed was perfectly suited to the Germanic temperament.”

Hitler, according to Speer’s account, repeatedly expressed the conviction that:

“The Mohammedan religion…would have been much more compatible to us than Christianity. Why did it have to be Christianity with its meekness and flabbiness?”

Sir Winston Churchill likened Islamist terrorism to Nazism :

“In truth though, just as the British stoicism recalls the same from 65 years ago, so too, there is a deep and instructive similarity between the Nazis and the Islamic-fascist forces that attacked then and attack today. The fact of the matter is that even more important than invoking the famous British “stiff upper lip,” to fight this current war to victory requires understanding and accepting the similarities between the Nazis and the Arab-Islamic terrorist armies.”

Geert Wilders, among many others, likened the Koran to Mein Kampf:

Jihad means “personal(supposedly) struggle”
Mein Kampf means “my struggle”

During WWII, we might remind ourselves, Muslims themselves, when there was completely free to make their own choice, chose the Nazi side.

And lastly, this I have found:

Arial Sharon is one of my heroes and I am not a Jew or an Israeli. I simply read history and am very impressed with this man’s courage, accomplishments, and values.

However, I do understand the bitter hatred felt toward him. You can expect that anytime there is something truly good, praiseworthy, or of good report in the world—evil will attempt to poison and brainwash people against it. All one needs do is read ordinary grade-school books used to teach the young in the Arab states. Israel and America are portrayed as little Satan and big Satan—rather than the light and hope that they have undisputedly represented to so many.

Freedom inevitably gathers evil to oppose it—uncovering an eternal truth: There is opposition in all things. Choose ye this day whom you will serve . . . Freedom or Tyranny.

GIRLS FORCE-FED FOR MARRIAGE

FEARS ARE GROWING for the fate of thousands of young girls in rural Mauritania, where campaigners say the cruel practice of force-feeding young girls for marriage is making a significant comeback since a military junta took over the West African country.

Aminetou Mint Ely, a women's rights campaigner, said girls as young as five were still being subjected to the tradition of leblouh every year. The practice sees them tortured into swallowing gargantuan amounts of food and liquid—and consuming their vomit if they reject it.

"In Mauritania, a woman's size indicates the amount of space she occupies in her husband's heart," said Mint Ely, head of the Association of Women Heads of Households. ''We have gone backwards. We had a Ministry of Women's Affairs. We had achieved a parliamentary quota of 20% of seats. We had female diplomats and governors. The military have set us back by decades, sending us back to our traditional roles. We no longer even have a ministry to talk to." Mauritania has suffered a series of coups since independence from France in 1960. The latest, in August last year, saw General Mohamed Ould Abdelaziz seize power after the elected president tried to sack him.

A children's rights lawyer, Fatimata M'baye, echoed Ely's pessimism. "I have never managed to bring a case in defence of a force-fed child. The politicians are scared of questioning their own traditions. Rural marriages usually take place under customary law or are overseen by a marabou (a Muslim preacher). No state official gets involved, so there is no arbiter to check on the age of the bride." Yet, she said, Mauritania had signed both international and African treaties protecting the rights of the child.

Leblouh is intimately linked to early marriage and often involves a girl of five, seven or nine being obliged to eat excessively to achieve female roundness and corpulence, so that she can be married off as young as possible. Girls from rural families are taken for leblouh at special "fattening farms" where older women, or the children's aunts or grandmothers, will administer pounded millet, camel's milk and water in quantities that make them ill.

A typical daily diet for a six-year-old will include two kilos of pounded millet, mixed with two cups of butter, as well as 20 litres of camel's milk. "The fattening is done during the school holidays or in the rainy season when milk is plentiful," said M'baye. "The girl is sent away from home without understanding why. She suffers but is told that being fat will bring her happiness. Matrons use sticks which they roll on the girl's thighs, to break down tissue and hasten the process."

Other leblouh practices include a subtle form of torture—zayar—using two sticks inserted each side of a toe. When a child refuses to drink or eat, the matron squeezes the sticks together, causing great pain. A successful fattening process will see a 12-year-old weigh 80kg. "If she vomits she must drink it. By the age of 15 she will look 30," said M'baye.

Historians say the practice dates back to pre-colonial times when all Mauritania's white Moor Arabs were nomads. The richer the man, the less his wife would do—the preference being for her to sit still all day in her tent while her black slaves saw to household chores. Ancient Berber quatrains laud tebtath (stretchmarks) as jewels. Even today lekhwassar (fat around the waist) is given lyrical pride of place and girls sent for fattening gain the stature of mbelha.

They are taught to sit in the lotus position, speak softly, use utensils and to emulate the exemplary lives of the Prophet Muhammad's wives.
