In order to make your very best first impression, practice your suicide bombing at home first, preferably with all your friends and family present to “critique” your efforts.
You’re welcome.
11/11/11
Once known as Armistice Day or Remembrance Day, we now call it Veteran’s Day. While I usually cite “In Flanders Field” on this day, today I’m eschewing that traditional notice to make note of the current scene and the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind “remembrance” of those who died recently at Ft. Hood as a contrast to the kinds of remembrances that have gone before. It seems none dare call it terrorism; none dare note the clear and unequivocal connection to clear and unequivocal teachings of Islam; and none dare call it treason.
In time of war, a man who redefined his identity (he called himself Palestinian, though he was born in Virginia), prayed with a jihadist cleric, complained and preached to acquaintances, and may have contacted terrorists, shoots several dozen people, most of them servicemen and -women, and our commentariat wonders what is going on.
No, the politically correct, multi-culti response from the Mass MEdia Podpeople Hivemind is to call what happened a ‘tragedy” and to downplay or completely deny its connection to The Cult of Hate while fearing a (reasonable) backlash against Islam.
Once again:
Those who commit horrific acts of savagery and claim they do it to advance the cause of Christ are liars and not at all Christian, because their very acts contradict both the Nazarene’s life and His teachings.
OTOH, Those who commit horrific acts of savagery and claim they do it to advance the cause of Mohamed are clearly following the example and teachings of The Butcher of Medina, whose first “great victory” was won over the bodies of 900 men of the Ban Quraysa Jews of Yathrib (now known as Medina) who he gulled with a lying offer of truce into the massacre he had planned, followed by the pillage of the Ban Quraysa Jews’ goods and the rape and enslavement of their families.
Those who follow the example of this first “great victory” and all the other subsequent acts of savagery, betrayal, perversion and other evil committed by Mohamed (the Butcher of Medina), can lay claim to being genuine, true, honest and forthright moderate (mainstream) Muslims, just like Nidal Hasan, the Butcher of Ft Hood.
Federal law-enforcement sources have told the British press (which is where one has to go to get news about Islamist terrorism in America) that Hasan came to the FBI’s attention early this year when a blogger identifying himself as “Nidal Hasan” — a name bearing a striking resemblance to “Nidal Hasan” — posted odes to suicide bombers on the Internet.
But our “commentariat”–the Mass Media Podpeople Hivemind–would have us not notice these simple things, and so they spit upon those killed at Ft Hood.
Great way to observe Veterans Day, eh?
“Mighty Mouse” Saved the Day
She may be small at only 120 pounds, but Sgt. Kimberly Munley is a “moderate Muslim’s” worst nightmare: a woman with a gun who refuses to back down.
In case you’ve been living in a box under a bridge somewhere and thus missed the news, Sgt. Kimberly Munley is the civilian police officer under contract to the Army as a part of the security services at Ft. Hood who is responsible for putting enough bullets into “moderate Muslim” Islamic terrorist, Maj. Nidal Hasan to stop his bloody rampage.
Good on you, Sgt. Kimberly Munley. And a big “nanny-nanny-boo-boo” to Islam and its view of women, too.
BTW, although Munley took three hits from “moderate Muslim” Islamic terrorist Hasan, she still took him down. From reports, she lost a lot of blood but is recovering.
“She said one of the bullets hit an artery and she lost a lot of blood, but she sounded in good spirits,” said country music singer Dierks Bentley, who met Munley at a July 4 event and called her Friday.
“She was laughing and joking.”
To her friends, relatives and former colleagues in North Carolina, Munley’s bravery was par for the course.
Hats off to Sgt. Munley. American woman vs. “moderate Muslim” Islamic terrorist. Moose-limb boys? you really don’t want to go there.
Oh, the title of this post? Don’t blame me. “Mighty Mouse” is the nickname Munley was saddled with after saving a fellow officer–a man–from an assault by a motorist at a traffic stop.
Respect for Islam
Frankly, I have read the Muslim “holy books” (OK, in several translations, because I do not read Arabic) and done as much reading as I could stomach on the life of Mohamed, the Butcher of Medina, and I can find nothing of worth in Islam at all. Any morality in the life and teachings of Mohamed, the Butcher of Medina, is either lifted from elsewhere or twisted into a vile perversion and in any case is overwhelmed by the 70+% of Islam’s “holy books” that is simple, plain hate speech and incitement to abuse of “unbelievers”.
And Islam’s “contributions” to civilization? A big fat zero with the rim kicked off. Algebra? Nu-uh. Been known and used for millennia before Islam and the form reintroduced with so-called “Arabic numbers” was stolen from the same place the Muslims stole their maths: India–and BTW, Muslims castrated the maths they stole from the Hindu mathematicians, because negative numbers were “theologically” repugnant to them. Typical.
And so it has gone with all the great Islamic “contributions” to civilization. Omar Khayyam’s “Rubaiyat”–among the very the best of Islamic lit to come to the West–is a. full of things that would get poor Omar killed by genuinely devout Muslims and b. just so-so as literature. Western lit is FULL to overflowing of much better stuff. In fact, so full of “much better stuff” is Western lit that Averroes, the greatest of Islam’s “scientists” (though the term didn’t exist then, really) wrote his greatest work as nothing more than a commentary on… Aristotle.
Whoopee! Nothing original, just a glorified study guide.
And that is the BEST of what Islam has had to offer: mediocre literature that is not very Islamic at all, stolen philosophy and technology, and rehashing of the great thought of WESTERN thinkers.
Everything else? Pretty much either worthless or of highly NEGATIVE “value”.
And contrast so-called “Christian” acts of barbarity with Muslim barbarity. FACT: People who claim to be Christians and who commit mass murder, rape, pillage, slaving, etc., CLAIMING to do so in the cause of the Christ are liars, for all these things are diametrically opposed to the life and teachings of The Nazarene.
OTOH, FACT: Muslims who commit mass murder, rape, pillage, slaving, etc., claiming to do so in the service of Mohamed’s cult of hate are smack dab in the middle of Islam’s teachings, for these things are central (over 70% of Islam’s so-called “holy books” deal with exhorting Muslims to do such things or providing permission to do such things) to Islam. In fact, both “holy lies” (al taqiyah, deceiving the unbeliever) and mass murder are central to Mohamed’s–the Butcher of Medina–first “great” victory: the mass murder under a flag of truce of ~900 of the Banu Quraiza Jews at Yathrib (now known as Medina), followed by the pillaging of their goods and the rape and enslavement of their families.
If Mohamed were alive today and just starting out, he would be seen by those with eyes to see and ears to hear as several orders of magnitude more evil than Jim Jones and his words as more toxic than the Jonestown Koolaid.
So, there you have it: all the respect for Islam I can muster.
Typical Muslim “Moderate”
Fort Hood shooter was member of Homeland Security Panel advising Obama
Chew on that the next time someone spouts bullshit about “Muslim moderates”.
h.t. Atlas Shrugs
Oh. Wow. Will the Idiocy Never Cease?
Anti-“blasphemy” regs trump the First Amendment. What part of “shall make no law” is unclear to The 0!? Just more “Sit down and shut up” from The 0!’s White House.
While attracting surprisingly little attention, the Obama administration supported the effort of largely Muslim nations in the U.N. Human Rights Council to recognize exceptions to free speech for any “negative racial and religious stereotyping.” The exception was made as part of a resolution supporting free speech that passed this month, but it is the exception, not the rule that worries civil libertarians. Though the resolution was passed unanimously, European and developing countries made it clear that they remain at odds on the issue of protecting religions from criticism. It is viewed as a transparent bid to appeal to the “Muslim street” and our Arab allies, with the administration seeking greater coexistence through the curtailment of objectionable speech. Though it has no direct enforcement (and is weaker than earlier versions), it is still viewed as a victory for those who sought to juxtapose and balance the rights of speech and religion.
Hmmm, if The 0! is serious about pushing this, expect an effective nullification coming here in the U.S. of
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Coming soon to a court room near you:
How to Deal With Islamic Terrorism
Be more terrible than the terrorists. Seriously. It is literally the only thing that has stopped Muslim aggression in the past, so why does The 0! seem to think he can lie to us saying, essentially, all we need to do is beat ourselves over the head and shoulders, wear sackcloth and ashes and cry Woe! for the terrible wrongs we have committed on Muslims by… not submitting to Islam*. Then we can all sit around a campfire singing Kum Ba Yah Allah.
*feh* Although Kipling’s lil tale below does not specifically deal with a response to terrorism (the dead subaltern was after all an active duty soldier in in an area of conflict, not a civilian non-combatant), but it does illustrate the proper method of communicating with brutal savages.
The Grave of the Hundred Head
–Rudyard KiplingThere’s a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There’s a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun,
And there’s Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.A Snider squibbed in the jungle,
Somebody laughed and fled,
And the men of the First Shikaris
Picked up their Subaltern dead,
With a big blue mark in his forehead
And the back blown out of his head.Subadar Prag Tewarri,
Jemadar Hira Lal,
Took command of the party,
Twenty rifles in all,
Marched them down to the river
As the day was beginning to fall.They buried the boy by the river,
A blanket over his face–
They wept for their dead Lieutenant,
The men of an alien race–
They made a samadh in his honor,
A mark for his resting-place.For they swore by the Holy Water,
They swore by the salt they ate,
That the soul of Lieutenant Eshmitt Sahib
Should go to his God in state;
With fifty file of Burman
To open him Heaven’s gate.The men of the First Shikaris
Marched till the break of day,
Till they came to the rebel village,
The village of Pabengmay–
A jingal covered the clearing,
Calthrops hampered the way.Subadar Prag Tewarri,
Bidding them load with ball,
Halted a dozen rifles
Under the village wall;
Sent out a flanking-party
With Jemadar Hira Lal.The men of the First Shikaris
Shouted and smote and slew,
Turning the grinning jingal
On to the howling crew.
The Jemadar’s flanking-party
Butchered the folk who flew.Long was the morn of slaughter,
Long was the list of slain,
Five score heads were taken,
Five score heads and twain;
And the men of the First Shikaris
Went back to their grave again,Each man bearing a basket
Red as his palms that day,
Red as the blazing village–
The village of Pabengmay,
And the “drip-drip-drip” from the baskets
Reddened the grass by the way.They made a pile of their trophies
High as a tall man’s chin,
Head upon head distorted,
Set in a sightless grin,
Anger and pain and terror
Stamped on the smoke-scorched skin.Subadar Prag Tewarri
Put the head of the Boh
On the top of the mound of triumph,
The head of his son below,
With the sword and the peacock-banner
That the world might behold and know.Thus the samadh was perfect,
Thus was the lesson plain
Of the wrath of the First Shikaris–
The price of a white man slain;
And the men of the First Shikaris
Went back into camp again.Then a silence came to the river,
A hush fell over the shore,
And Bohs that were brave departed,
And Sniders squibbed no more;
For the Burmans said
That a kullah’s head
Must be paid for with heads five score.There’s a widow in sleepy Chester
Who weeps for her only son;
There’s a grave on the Pabeng River,
A grave that the Burmans shun,
And there’s Subadar Prag Tewarri
Who tells how the work was done.
Although, come to think of it, Kipling was a piker. 1,000-to-1 seems about right to me. Personally, I’d check off on a “monument” of radioactive glass in what was once Mecca big enough to see from the moon. Seems about right to me in return for a millennium and a half of Muslim terrorism. But then, I don’t have that kind of decision making power. Unfortunately. And fortunately, I’m not some raghead splodeydope willing to cut short my stay on this veil of tears to take out non-combatants (although, if one is a believer in the word of Mohamed, one MUST be a combatant, so… )

Professor 0!
Ralph Peters’ droll deconstruction of The 0!’s Middle East Tour is a not-to-be-missed piece of worthwhile snark. A sample:
Churches and synagogues are about to open in Saudi Arabia. Since “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance” and there are “over 1,200 mosques within our borders,” I can’t wait for the first Baptist hymn-sing in Riyadh. Sign me up!
Behind closed doors with Saudi King Abdullah, our president must’ve mentioned the many hundreds of churches and synagogues that thrived on the Arabian Peninsula during the Prophet’s lifetime. Muslims zealots destroyed them. Time to get the bin Laden family’s construction firm on the job re-building!
And stoning converts who leave Islam to death is a no-no, right?
Yep. “Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance” MHWA. When flying pigs poop on The Black Stone of the Kaaba…
And don’t miss this priceless dissing of the “Islamic contributions to civilization” myth:
Islam’s been the source of real progress. Like “calligraphy.” Medieval Islam’s ballyhooed contributions actually were due to Greek-speaking Christians (including slaves) employed as court officials, to Armenian architects and Jewish physicians. But, yeah, Arabs had really good penmanship.
But really, Peters give Islam too much credit and touched on just a tad of the “contributions” Islamic culture is falsely credited with. BTW, Medieval European illuminated manuscripts are far more beautiful than Arabian penmanship. Hands down. It’s not that Islamic culture hasn’t tried over the centuries. It really has. Ideas stolen from the best of conquered and enslaved people, debased and hoarded for silly uses or used to falsely demonstrate Muslim superiority abound. But hey! Don’t let me rain on the myths. After paging through the thousands of hits of propaganda you’d get on Google, it’d take someone of more than average intellectual stamina to look for the truth… (Not me. I was introduced thirty-eight years ago to a genuine scholar–a Lebanese gentleman who, though he had multiple doctorates recognized in his own country was starting over again in the US ed system *spit*–who gave me a few pointers on where to look–all before the web. Took months of library searches, in what free time a po’ student could wrangle, to verify his astounding revelations… So, don’t expect me to do your homework for you :-))
Evidence That “Moderate Muslims” Cannot Exist
Found here, all it takes is one paragraph to prove definitively that moderate Muslims cannot exist, only true believers, subjugated “believers” who practice Islam from fear, soi disant “moderates” practicing so-called “holy deception” of infidels, and heretics. I repeat: If this has any correlation to the real world (and it does), then there can truly be no “moderate” Muslims:
CORRECT DEFINITION OF A MODERATE MUSLIM
AL Aqidah ALTahawiyyaTAHAWI’S STATEMENT OF ISLAMIC DOCTRINE (AL-`AQIDA AL-TAHAWIYYA):
In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate Praise be to Allah, Lord of all the worlds.
The great scholar Hujjat al-lslam Abu Ja’far al-Warraq al-Tahawi al-Misri, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This is a presentation of the beliefs of Ahl al-Sunna wa al-Jama`a, according to the school of the jurists of this religion, Abu Hanifa al-Nu`man ibn Thabit al-Kufi, Abu Yusuf Ya`qub ibn Ibrahim al-Ansari and Abu `Abdullah Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Shaybani, may Allah be pleased with them all, and what they believe regarding the fundamentals of the religion and their faith in the Lord of the worlds…
…The Qur’an is the word of Allah. It came from Him as speech without it being possible to say how. He sent it down on His Messenger as revelation. The believers accept it, as absolute truth. They are certain that it is, in truth, the word of Allah. It is not created as is the speech of human beings, and anyone who hears it and claims that it is human speech has become an unbeliever. Allah warns him and censures him and threatens him with Fire when He says, Exalted is He: “I will burn him in the Fire.” (al-Muddaththir 74:26) When Allah threatens with the Fire those who say “This is just human speech” (74:25) we know for certain that it is the speech of the Creator of mankind and that it is totally unlike the speech of mankind.
Now, if you have a stomach strong enough, go read the “holy books” of Islam. The Koran alone is FULL of “absolute truth” enjoining Muslims to kill or enslave unbelievers in their cult and FULL of blessings promised for those who do so. If it is the teaching of Islam (and it is) that the Koran is “absolute truth” then Muslims who are in any way, shape, fashion or form in agreement with the Koran support–by direct action or inaction–the murder, rape, pillage, torture and subjugation the Koran dictates as the fate of unbelievers at the hand of those who are Muslims. Those who are not in agreement with the Koran but still claim to be Muslims are, of course, heretics.
The fact that the Koran itself claims the position of “absolute truth” makes it pretty black and white, folks: “moderate” Islam is a lie. All Muslims are either true believers who actively support following Mohamed’s own practice and teachings of mass murder, rape, pillage, torture and subjugation of unbelievers or submitting in fear to Islam or soi disant “moderates” practicing so-called “holy deception” of infidels or heretics falsely claiming to still practice Islam when they would have to sanitize Mohamed past recognition and delete 70% of their so-called holy books’ “absolute truth” in order to achieve their moderation of Islam (destroying the thing to create something civilized that falsely goes by the same name).
OTOH, anyone throughout history who has suggested that Christians engage in the normative behavior of the life and teachings of Mohamed has had to do so in direct contradiction to the life and teachings of Jesus. To put it another way, anyone claiming to be a Muslim who lives a life of peace and does not seek to force others to believe as he does is a heretic, whereas anyone claiming to be a Christian who lives a life of peace and does not seek to force others to believe as he does is orthodox.

Not Intentionally Offensive
OK, so I had some time at lunch I didn’t plan on.
[Please note the subjunctive mood.]
Thinking on the differences between a society where Sharia “law” is paramount and a free society where offensive opinions can be openly uttered and even more offensive questions asked, one wonders what would be the reception in each of those societies to someone who would ask an outrageous question such as,
If one were to desire such a thing, how would one say, “Mohamed was the offspring of a diseased dog impregnated by a drunk pig” in Arabic?
Just wondering, that’s all.
Also wondering how long it will take before Janet Napolitano’s deliberately illiterate goon squad will be by to give me a lobotomy for asking such questions…
