Exposing the Anti-Semitic Values of the Muslim Students Association

Islam as purveyed to the American public by the mass media and the US government is virtually unrelated to the religion practiced by the vast majority of the members of the Muslim Students Association. Although the MSA presents itself to others as a benign social organization with no other purpose than promoting the legitimate interests of students from the Mid East and elsewhere in Dar Al-Islam, in actual fact the group seeks to further militant anti-Semitic Islam, especially its Wahhabi form.

All of us are done a disservice by depictions of Islam as a "religion of peace" akin to church-on-the-corner Christianity. For while there are peaceful Muslims and while some schools of Islam , like various Sufi groups, fit the image that the press and TV want us to believe is true for all of Islam, normative Islam is very different. It is anti-Semitic , that is, anti-Jewish, in its core values, in addition to considering followers of most of the great religions of the world as beneath contempt, deserving ridicule, insult, and death.

This is a little long, but read it all:

Richard Reeves: Better keep an eye on Pakistan’s nukes

NEW YORK — Now I lay me down to sleep. I pray the Lord that the United States and India have plans to seize Pakistan’s nuclear weapons.

I, for one, was badly shaken on Monday when Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, held a news conference to report on his recent trip to Pakistan and his private meetings with President Barack Obama and the White House’s security guys, beginning with Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. The Associated Press headline was:

“MULLEN SAYS HE BELIEVES PAKISTAN NUKES ARE SECURE”

Believes? That’s nice, especially considering Pakistani officials have been lying to the world about those weapons for more than 25 years. They denied they were trying to develop the weapons. They denied they were actually developing them. They lied about having them. They lied about where they are.

I can only pray that the government of India, the country Pakistan’s nuclear missiles are aimed at, is not as credulous as Adm. Mullen. At his conference he said he did not “think” the weapons — about a hundred of them — would eventually be controlled by the Taliban. And I hope the Indians are not as “confident” as President Obama said he was about the missiles after meeting with Mullen last weekend. More than that I pray that Indian intelligence agencies know where the bombs are.

You can be sure that the Taliban, which is practically part of the Pakistani intelligence establishment, knows where the nukes are. And the Taliban will know in advance if the Pakistanis try to move them — and they will try to grab one or two if they hit the roads.

“I’m confident that we can make sure that Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal is secure,” Obama said last week, “primarily, initially, because the Pakistani army, I think, recognizes the hazards of those weapons falling into the wrong hands.” He added: “We’ve got strong military-to-military consultation and cooperation.”

Confident? Whatever is in their hearts about Islam, about the United States, about the Taliban, the Pakistani army can’t fight. The recipient of billions upon billions of U.S. dollars and training over the decades, the great Pakistan army is essentially a national police force configured to try to keep the “masses” in their place to protect the government in Islamabad — a government which, more often than not, has been the army itself.

Basically, since becoming a country, a haven for Muslims when the British left colonial India in 1947, the Pakistani army has fought and quickly lost three wars against the country of India. The most spectacular of those defeats came in 1970, when they lost East Pakistan, which was more than half the nation and is now the country of Bangladesh. That happened when the Indian army rolled up the Pakistani army in days.

Now, this is the situation, as reported in Monday’s New York Times:“We are largely relying on assurances, the same assurances we have been hearing for years,” said one senior official who was involved in the dialogue with Pakistan during the Bush years and remains involved today.
“The worse things get, the more strongly they hew to the line, ‘Don’t worry; we’ve got it under control.’”

Right. The United States government was buying that crap as long ago as the 1980s, when I was living in Islamabad. One of my neighbors, A.Q. Kahn, was going to work every morning with a military escort to a place called Kahuta, where he was in charge of developing the Pakistan nuclear bomb. Everybody knew that, including every American in Pakistan, but we were buying Pakistan in those days because we needed them in the mujahideen war against the Soviet Union in Afghanistan.

We declared victory when the Soviets withdrew after nine years and their government collapsed. Then we went back to ignoring Pakistan, which was governed by a three-way deal between rich Westernized elites, the army and the mullahs, the clerics who control the medieval life of “the masses” — and educated many of their children in the madrassas that graduated the Taliban.

If all this sounds “alarmist,” it is meant to be. I only hope the Indians, no innocents abroad, are on this case and understand it better than we do. These could be the final days of “modern” Pakistan — and maybe of other peoples as well.Richard Reeves is a columnist for Universal Press Syndicate.

U.S. military destroys soldier's Bibles

The U.S. military is confirming that it has destroyed some Bibles belonging to an American soldier serving in Afghanistan.

Reuters News says the Bibles were confiscated and destroyed after Qatar-based Al Jazeer television showed soldiers at a Bible class on a base with a stack of Bibles translated into the local Pashto and Dari languages. The U.S. military forbids its members on active duty -- including those based in places like Afghanistan -- from trying to convert people to another religion.

Reuters quotes Maj. Jennifer Willis at the Bagram Air Base, north of Kabul, who said "I can now confirm that the Bibles shown on Al Jazeera's clip were, in fact, collected by the chaplains and later destroyed. They were never distributed."

According to the military officials, the Bibles were sent through private mail to an evangelical Christian soldier by his church back home. Reuters says the soldier brought them to the Bible study class where they were filmed.

The Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Mike Mullen, told a Pentagon briefing Monday that the military's position is that it will never "push any specific religion."

It is ok for muslims to come to our country and do dawa, but god forbid a bible get into the hands of a muslim or even into a muslim country. It is right in their book to not allow muslims to read any other book besides the koran. Gee I wonder why? Maybe because they would drop the hate filled book the koran and believe in peaceful co-existance with the rest of the world.

Anomaly in Iran: adulterer stoned to death, adulteress "repented and so has not been stoned"

Usually women are stoned for adultery, while the men are exonerated. Sharia Alert from the Islamic Republic of Iran: "Adulterer stoned to death in Iran," from AFP, May 5 (thanks to JE):
A man convicted of committing adultery has been stoned to death in a northern Iranian city, a top judiciary official said.

The stoning was carried out in the city of Rasht during the Iranian month of Esfand which ended on March 20, judiciary spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi said.

He said the woman involved in the case has "repented and so has not been stoned".

Under Iran's Islamic law, adultery is still punishable by stoning, which involves the public hurling of stones at a partially buried convict. A man is buried up to his waist and a woman up to her shoulders.

Convicts are spared if they can free themselves.

They are not spared if they can free themselves, I have seen videos of they reburing a woman twice after she got out of the hole. She did not make it.

The Aftab-e Yazd newspaper reported that a 30-year-old government employee identified only as "V", was stoned in a prison in Rasht on March 5. Some Iranian news websites identified him as Vali Azad.

Five Iranians have reportedly been stoned to death in the past four years, including two men in Mashhad in December last year, despite a 2002 directive by judiciary chief Ayatollah Mahmoud Hashemi Shahrudi imposing a moratorium on such executions.

Latest conspiracy theory: US behind Pakistani crisis to eliminate nukes

Furthermore, not only is America "not our [Pakistanis'] friend," but “We will never allow US to continue its mission of killing innocent people in Pakistan.” Of course not; that task is reserved for the Taliban.

MANSEHRA: Jamaat-e-Islami leader Liaqat Baloch Sunday claimed the US had hatched a conspiracy to pitch Pakistan Army against its own people to accomplish the mission of destroying the nuclear arsenal of Pakistan.

“America is not our friend as it never supported us in crucial times. The government launched army operation in Dir and Buner districts on the behest of US,” he told a protest rally here. The participants holding party flags chanted anti-US, Israel, Indian and government slogans.

Provincial chief of JI Sirajul Haq, District ameer Dr Tariq Sherazi and naib ameer Younas Khattak also addressed the rally. Liaqat Bloch said that US was involved in the killing of Pakhtuns in the tribal areas of Pakistan and Afghanistan, saying; “We will never allow US to continue its mission of killing innocent people in Pakistan.”...

There are no innocent muslims. They are all for the world domination by islam and sharia. If this only was a real plan to take away their nukes. That is all we need, Bin Ladin with working nukes.

Latest jihadi prison-break plot hatched in gym-turned-mosque

"The room is now double-locked and patrolled by 12 officers with dogs while up to 70 Muslim inmates, including al-Qaeda operative Kamel Bourgass, gather for two-hour prayer meetings." Let's see now, 70 convicted jihadis gathering together for "two-hour prayer meetings"... Surely there's nothing nefarious about that? Surely such time is spent discussing the finer points of Muslim theology?

Why are they coddling these convicted terrorists? Why do they have a right to have a meeting in a mosque? You know that the guards probably do not speak whatever language they speak. How can this be a bad idea?

A high-security prison has been put on alert after intelligence reports that a group of Muslim extremists were plotting to escape.The gym at HMP Wakefield, West Yorkshire, has been turned into a makeshift mosque so prison staff can keep a better eye on inmates after the chapel, usually used for group prayer, was deemed too 'high-risk'.

The room is now double-locked and patrolled by 12 officers with dogs while up to 70 Muslim inmates, including al-Qaeda operative Kamel Bourgass, gather for two-hour prayer meetings.Extra security precautions were first taken two weeks ago, after the prison governor was informed of an escape bid similar to one foiled at HMP Full Sutton, East Yorkshire, last month.

Nine inmates – including convicted terrorists – planned to escape by helicopter. Accomplices on the outside were to hire it for "business" then force the pilot to land in prison at gunpoint.

"The Governor is not taking any chances", a source at HMP Wakefield told the Daily Mirror.

"Inmates usually pray alone in cells but are allowed to come together for religious services once a week. Muslims meet an Imam and read the Koran as in the ordinary chapel, but the gym is bigger and more secure. "All eyes are on them during prayer time, more so now than ever."

Bourgass, 33, an Algerian, is serving a life sentence for murdering a policeman, Det Con Stephen Oake, during a raid at a house in Manchester. He also stabbed three other officers during the incident in 2003.

He was also convicted of plotting a poison attack in Britain. Detectives believe he planned to smear ricin on door and car handles around the Holloway Road area of London.

Bourgass is still described in prison reports as a "risk to life and state".

"He has extreme beliefs."...

Iraq: "Militia groups" sadistically torturing and murdering homosexuals

BAGHDAD – Widespread violence is down across Baghdad, but not for one minority group.
Iraq’s gay population is being targeted by militia groups in a wave of killings that has claimed the lives of up to 25 young men and boys in the past month.

"They know I am gay. I don’t know if I am going to be killed, this is up to God," said Moyad, a 38-year-old Baghdad resident who would not give his last name out of fear for his safety.

Visibly frightened, he said that he has many friends who have been sadistically tortured, some even murdered. "They are sticking glue up their anuses; some hospitals refuse to treat them. Is it a war waged against homosexuals?" he asked...

Yes, it is. Muhammad said, "If you find anyone doing as Lot’s people did [homosexual acts], kill the one who does it, and the one to whom it is done."

I do not feel bad for homos in the middle east, or Christians for that matter. They are living in a muslim country with islamic law being the law of the land. Christians are dhimmis at best. Being gay is prohibited. They need to leave. Do I think it is easy? No. But if you are getting killed, get out of Dodge.

Karzai selects jihadi militant with "blood-stained hands" for vice presidential running mate

KABUL – President Hamid Karzai chose a powerful warlord accused of rights abuses as one of his vice presidential running mates on Monday, hours before leaving for meetings in Washington with President Barack Obama and Pakistan's president.

The selection of Mohammad Qasim Fahim, a top commander in the militant group Jamiat-e-Islami during Afghanistan's 1990s civil war, drew immediate criticism from human rights groups.

A 2005 Human Rights Watch report, "Blood-Stained Hands," found "credible and consistent evidence of widespread and systematic human rights abuses and violations of international humanitarian law" were committed by Jamiat commanders, including Fahim.

Karzai was "insulting the country" with the choice, the New York-based group said Monday.[...]
The U.S. Embassy would not comment, saying it wasn't helpful for the United States to comment on individual candidates. However, a U.S. statement said, "We believe the election is an opportunity for Afghanistan to move forward with leaders who will strengthen national unity."...

Afghanistan is lost, Pakistan is going to go too. Then the real fun will begin. The terrorists will have the islamic bomb. That is what AQ Khan called it. We need to just nuke the whole sandbox and get it over with.
