Five US Muslims Sentenced to Life for Mass Murder Conspiracy

A group of five Muslims have been convicted on charges of plotting to slaughter military personnel at Fort Dix. All five "men" are receiving life sentences.

24 year-old cab driver Mohamed Shnewer of Cherry Hill, New Jersey is the latest to be convicted in the plot, having been caught on tape by an FBI informant talking about attacking the United States. His defense?

Shnewer told the judge that he talked like a jihadist, but didn't have what it takes to be one.

As all conspirators are being jailed for life, the judge appears to have been too smart to fall for such garbage. Still, I wonder how many liberals would actually stand for treasonous acts like talking about attacking your own country. It's free speech, after all.

This is just another incident of the many different forms of jihadis out there. Some wrap themselves up in plastic explosives and run into a pizza parlor. Others talk about doing so. But how long will it take those who only talk about it to finally act on their murderous threats? And I'm sure they aren't averse to donating money, information, or time to terrorist organizations.

French Jew Tortured to Death by Muslim Group of 27 Youths

Ruth Halimi holds a photo of her son Ilan while he was on vacation in Sicilia, Italy.

Today's post is meant as an especially big 'Fuck you' to people who excuse Islamic violence because jihadis "are only a minority of Muslims".

I really don't know why these stories get such little attention.

Ilan Halimi was a 23 year-old French Jew kidnapped by 27 Muslims and tortured to death in 2006. Their closed-doors trial began today in Paris in a juvenile court, as some of the Muslims were still minors at the time of the crime.

The 23-year-old victim, Ilan Halimi was found naked, handcuffed and covered with burn marks near railroad tracks in the Essonne region south of Paris on Feb. 13, 2006. He died on the way to the hospital after being held captive for more than three weeks.

Youssouf Fofana, 28-year-old presumed leader of a group of 10 young women and 17 young men, stands accused of a crime that shocked the nation. He is charged with premeditated murder, demanding ransom, and acts of torture and barbarism, and faces a possible maximum sentence of life imprisonment.

He smiled as he took his seat in the Paris court and said, "Allah will be victorious."

Fofana and his cohorts are also charged with attempting to kidnap other people, including Jews, and hold them for ransom.

But it's okay! Because jihadi Muslims (those who actually make good on their threats) are not the majority of the Muslim world. So we should just chalk this up as a regular ol' kidnapping, torturing, and murder. It had nothing to do with Islam. Just forget about the suffering they forced on this Jew, probably with glee, and write him down as another statistic.

No. That's sick. The people who read these news stories and then refuse to acknowledge them as religious hate crimes when they so plainly are, are the reasons why innocent people such as Ilan Halimi are dying every day at the hands of the most intolerant and hateful people on Earth. They aid and abet these monsters by remaining silent and politically correct. Then they hoist themselves up on a pedestal and look down on everyone else, because they know they're tolerant, and that they accept everyone and anyone. They smile as they realize this, and feel a sense of self-elation.

Then a Muslim walks over and stabs them in the throat and they wonder how they didn't see it coming.

Why are people so quick to excuse rapists, torturers, murders, and pedopheliacs only when those acts are committed out of a religious zeal? They damn "normal" murders and rapes. So when some cook gibbers "Allah Akbar!" as he rapes a Canadian reporter, or detonates himself in a Baghdad marketplace, why don't they acknowledge that "Allah Akbar!" for what it is? It's that cry of religious bloodthirst that a Muslim screams as he forces a woman to the ground or depresses his thumb on the trigger that sets him apart from normal criminals. And the people who ignore that cry for what it is only serve to usher us closer to our graves.

Here We Go Again

Muslim Student Union respect for Judaism

Every May, the Musim Student Union (a.k.a Muslim Student Association) on UC Irvine's campus hosts a week of anti-Israel events. Last year they had the audacity to name it the "Palestinian Holocaust", and spit in the face of very Zionist and Jewish student on campus by ripping holes in an Israeli flag, spattering it with red paint, and singwing it with fire (not pictured above). Their anti-Israel week is infamous for inviting virulently anti-Semitic and slanderous speakers such as the always-amusing Norman Finkelstein and Jew-hating Malik Ali.

While this year is looking to be fairly weak (only 5 events spread out over the entire month of May), the MSU is flaunting a list of co-sponsors, many of which have no business supporting a Muslim-run event. Here's the list:

***Afrikan Student Union
***Alpha Epsilon Omega ®
***Armenian Student Association
***Asian Pacific Student Association
***Hindu Student Council
***Hip Hop Congress
***Pakistani Student Association
***Society of Arab Students
***Sikh Student Association
***The Agora
***Radical Student Union
***Vietnamese Action Committee
***Young Americans for Liberty
***Workers Student Alliance


Hindu Student Council? Hip Hop Congress? Young Americans for Liberty? Do these people know the cesspool they're jumping into? I thought Hindus would have learned something from the Mumbai terror attack. I guess not.

I have a feeling that before this event of half-truths and contorted facts begin, a lot of those groups will have decided to remove themselves from that list.

EDIT: Case in point, president of The Agora, Oren Klein, has already posted a short letter to the MSU regarding his wish to withdraw The Agora from their list of co-sponsors. He writes:

As the President of The Agora, I politely ask you to remove us as a sponsoring organization.

We do not condone partisan support. We support open dialogue and communication of all parties and refrain from choosing sides. We encourage your group to consider including an open public forum and debate, of which we certainly support.

I am in favor of the cause of freedom, and truly believe that the situation can be resolved peacefully. Though educating our students on worldwide issues is a number one priority of The Agora, addressing the issue from an antagonistic and xenophobic perspective is counterproductive and ferments conflict.

We encourage your organization to work towards mediation and communication, understanding and cooperation, and would like to learn more about the history of genocide; including the current crisis in Darfur, the past Armenian genocide, and the Nazi extermination camps alongside the Palestinian cause.

Peace not pieces!
Oren

Good on you, Oren. Thank you for standing up for the true nature of peace and fair dialogue.

Iranian Delegate Screams at Eli Wiesel

As if to underline the anti-Semitic undertones of Durban II, an Iranian delegate to the garbage Durban II conference in Geneva screamed and railed against Nobel Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor Eli Wiesel, calling him a "Zionazi".

Courtesy of YNet News:

A member of Iran's official delegation to the UN's anti-racism conference verbally assaulted Shoah survivor and Nobel Prize Laureate Elie Wiesel in Geneva, referring to him as a "Zionazi." The incident was captured on film by Sergio Wider of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. The video features the Iranian official repeatedly screaming at Wiesel, who chose to remain silent and ignore the reprehensible comments.

[...]

"The Iranian president's sympathizers yelled 'Zionazi' at Wiesel, who was quite speechless following the incident," Wider said. "Nobody believed it happened, especially as Wiesel is one of the most well-known Shoah survivors and is greatly appreciated for his humanitarian work."

The most ironic part of this is that there will be no riots in Jewish communities, no riots in Israel. Why? Because unlike the Muslims who rioted in response to the Mohammad cartoons- they're still doing it even two years later- the people such as myself who will undoubtedly be offended by this racist's namecalling believe in his right to paint himself a blithering idiot (free speech).

Here's the video:

Yom Hashoah

It seems like with each passing Yom Hashoah, it's becoming more and more important to bring attention to it (not that it never was, oh no); world leaders denying that the Holocaust ever happened and suggesting 15+ million people just vanished into thin air, people throwing around the accusation that Israel is a direct result of the Holocaust, people calling for a new Holocaust...

On this Yom Hashoah, please take a small break from your day to go to a memorial service, buy a Yartzheit candle, or just say a quick prayer. Tell a friend who might not know much about the Holocaust the significance of today, and how achingly important it is that we never forget the monstrous crimes and lethal indifference we as a human race are capable of.

On a personal level, I can hardly be described as a religious Jew. I love cheeseburgers and do not attend synagogue as much as I should. And yet I still feel pride when I say the Sh'ma, still feel a driving love when I see the Israeli flag- the same motivating love I feel when I see the Stars and Stripes. And I still feel a connection to the Jewish community, not only because of my affinity for Jewish culture but because of Judaic history. I'm a much better Zionist than I am a Jew, but it's still my proud obligation as both to help better the Jewish community and make the world a better place for us to live in, because God knows no one else is going to do it for us.

The Holocaust and Yom Hashoah are especially important in this regard. 6 million of us were rounded up and slaughtered like so much cattle. 6 million, for being Jewish. Did you know that if not for the Holocuast, there would be 32 million Jews in the world today? Anti-Semitism could very well be something we place on the back burner (but never remove).

As Jews, we take our knowledge and information of the Holocaust for granted. We know about it because it affected us. But what do most Hindus and Catholics, Buddhists and Ba'Hai, know about it, other than 6 million Jews died? So many people categorize the Holocaust only in that way, the death of 6 million Jews, but there's so much more to it. The cruelty, detachment from morality, inhumanity, the willing indifference of man. Instead of organizing in outrage, whole nations allied themselves with Hitler simply so he wouldn't do to them what he was doing to the Jews.

So on this Yom Hashoah, explain today's importance to someone who may not understand why we dwell on something that happened over 60 years ago. Explain to them that it wasn't just Jews, but blacks and gyspies, too. Gays, Poles, Slavs, disabled, mentally handicapped, Freemasons. It goes on. And they weren't targeted for their political affiliations, not as some military or political strategy. They were targeted just because they had the audacity to be. The world might have chosen the Jews as its favorite martyr, but it's not hesitant to make other people suffer with us.

The March of the Living.

Iran Arrests US Reporter, Obama Wags Finger

US-Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi poses for a photograph in Tehran in this April 10, 2004 file photo. An Iranian-American journalist detained in Iran since late January 2009 and accused of espionage went on trial this week and a verdict is expected soon, the Iranian judiciary said on April 14, 2009.

I've been following the status of Iranian-American US reporter Roxana Saberi for a few months now, and her fate isn't looking to be too good. Ahmadinejad figures he's doing this woman a service by allowing her a 'full defense' for a fabricated crime. Saberi faces 8 years in an Iranian prison on charges of espionage.

Oh please, Mahmoud.

Some backstory: Ms. Saberi is 1997 Miss North Dakota, born in Fargo. As she is part Iranian, Saberi traveled to Iran in 2003 to work as a freelance reporter for news organizations such as National Public Radio and the BBC (given her situation, let's cut Saberi some slack for that). According to her father, Saberi has been working on a book about Iranian culture.

Saberi was arrested back in January shortly after she purchased a bottle of wine. It's only gotten worse since then:

Iran has released few details about the charges against the [Saberi]. Saberi was arrested in January and initially accused of working without press credentials. But earlier this month, an Iranian judge leveled a more serious allegation that she was passing classified information to U.S. intelligence services.

[...]

Her parents... traveled to Iran to seek her release. Her father, Reza Saberi, has said his daughter wasn't allowed a proper defense during her one-day trial behind closed doors a week ago. He said no evidence has been made public, and his daughter was tricked into making incriminating statements by officials who told her they would free her if she did.

He told CNN on Sunday that her trial lasted only 15 minutes. "It was a mock trial," he said.

One Iranian analyst said Ahmadinejad's letter was politically motivated and suggested Iran could be using Saberi's case to gain leverage with the U.S.

"Iran can use Saberi's case as a bargaining card in possible negotiations with the U.S.," said analyst Saeed Leilaz.

Aside from the fact that Ahmadinejad is a world-class asshole, it's very plausible that he's using this woman as fodder for future political engagement with the US. As you can see, it's clear that the number of charges they pulled out of thin air, moving from a lack of credentials to espionage, has no basis at all. What would Miss North Dakota 1997 be doing spying for the US in Iran?

And as you can expect, our Head of State has done everything short of demanding Saberi's return:

President Barack Obama said Sunday he was "gravely concerned" about Saberi's safety and well-being and was confident she wasn't involved in espionage. The U.S. has called the charges baseless and said Iran would gain U.S. goodwill if it "responded in a positive way" to the case.

Any other country in the world would be outraged at the baseless arrest of one of its citizens overseas. But not Obama. He's the bigger man, a man of maturity. Hell, he's so mature his spine has gone and vaporized into dust.

Durban II: A Circus Show of Hypocrisy

Protesters carry a banner as they take part in an anti-racism demonstration in the center of Geneva, Switzerland, Saturday, April 18, 2009. The United Nations is bracing for a major anti-racism conference opening next week at its European headquarters, with concerns rife that it may descend once again into clashes over Israel that marred the last conference in South Africa eight years ago.

It's finally here: the UN's Durban II conference, a congregation of several world powers led by Iran meant to fight against global racism, begins this week on Monday. If you researched the first Durban which took place in 2001, or have any knowledge of the topics discussed, then I don't need to tell you that this conference will be nothing more than a cesspool of anti-Semitism and Islamist propaganda. The governments of the USA, Netherlands, Israel, Canada, Italy, Australia, Sweden, and Germany have already announced their boycotts of the conference.

If you can guess by the fact of Iran's leadership, the first Durban conference was used as a platform to push the aforementioned contortions of free speech. The very subject matter of the conference is pungent with hypocrisy and irony, as it's meant to fight racism but in fact creates even more. Much of the Western world suspects that Durban II will be no different, and used as a front to silence any criticism of Islam, Shariah law, or Mohammed. I've always said the UN is worthless, but letting jihadi and Islamist nations hijack it isn't my idea of a good solution.

You will recall that Obama originally intended to not only attend the conference, but help outline it as well. Only after his administration saw that the conference's veterans weren't going to scrub the anti-Semitism and Islamism out of the conference plan did Obama withdraw.

Yahoo! News reports:

At the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI said the conference is needed to eliminate racial intolerance around the world. Asia News, a Catholic news agency that is part of the missionary arm of the Vatican, said of the pope's comment: "The Holy See is distancing itself from the criticisms of some Western countries."

Some European countries are still deciding whether to attend the U.N. conference. Britain said it will send diplomats, despite concerns the meeting could become a forum for Holocaust denial or anti-Semitic attacks.

[...]

Many Muslim nations want curbs to free speech to prevent insults to Islam they claim have proliferated since the terrorist attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001. They cite the 2005 cartoons of Muhammad published by a Danish newspaper that sparked riots in the Muslim world.

European countries also have criticized the meeting for focusing heavily on the West and ignoring problems of racism and intolerance in the developing world.

That Pope sure is a swell guy, isn't he? Hopefully he'll be singing a different tune after he sees the intellectual pollution Durban II belches into the international atmosphere.


There's really not much to expect from Durban II. Let me give you a rough outline of what's going to go down:

1) Ahmadinejad will deliver his opening speech (garbed in Gestapo attire, of course), after which the meeting will convene. Refreshments, including the blood of Jews and Westerners, will be served during an hour lunch break.

2) All attending nations will pass a blanket denial of the Holocaust (because the Jews made it up), condemn any criticism of any religion (but secretly agree to ignore it unless it targets Islam, in which case they will bitch ceaselessly), and spend a few hours damning that Jewish thorn in the side of the Middle East.

3) After a group 'Heil Hitler' salute, the meeting will adjourn and all attending vice-chairs will return to their respective nations with a false sense of progress.

4) Nobody will care.


Interesting to note are the nations that are attending. Here's the list:

Cameroon
South Africa
Senegal
India (I'm as confused as you are)
Indonesia
Iran
Pakistan
Argentina
Brazil
Chile
Cuba
Armenia
Croatia
Estonia
Russia
Belgium
Greece
Norway
Turkey

This is not to say that every one of these nations has as much moral integrity as a maggot, but you can guess as to the ulterior motives of many of them. I have no clue why India is on that list.

Obama Asskissing the Saudi King

I'd like to show you folks the funniest- and by far, truest- thing I've seen all year. This guy is really smart about the situation. And yes, it's politics-relevant.

Liberals, you've been warned.



That audacious burkaless dame at the end is Reut Cohen, by the way, a friend of mine and owner of aforelinked blog. She's taught me a lot and I've learned a lot from watching her Sharia & Jihad Review on Pajamas TV.

Not a Rapist? You're a Racist

An IDF soldier provides a would-be suicide bomber, one of five who were caught with 17 kilograms of TNT in the trunk of their car, with a drink of water. Israeli cruelty at its best.

As a famous ten year-old juvenile delinquent once quipped, “You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t.” It seems like Hebrew U has decided to take up this pre-teen train of thought; if you don’t rape someone, you’re a filthy racist.

Hebrew U recently published a research paper questioning why the IDF has such few cases of rapes, as compared to other countries’ militaries:

The paper further theorizes that Arab women in Judea and Samaria are not raped by IDF soldiers because the women are de-humanized in the soldiers’ eyes.

[...]

“I do not have the entire text in front of me,” Gurevitch [professor who recommended the research paper for publication] said, when contacted by Arutz-7, “and I don’t think we can jump to conclusions based on partial sentences, but I can say the following: This was a very serious paper that asked two important questions: Is the relative lack of IDF rapes a noteworthy phenomenon, and if so, why is it that there are so few IDF rapes when in similar situations around the world, rape is much more common?“

What?

I wish I could say this is some Johnny-come-lately April fool’s joke, but I can’t. There really are people out there, in Israel, no less, who think the IDF is racist for not raping Palestinian women. What’s even worse is that some braindead professor saw this paper as serious research and decided to help get this garbage published. Anyone want to guess how much Hebrew U’s incoming student body is going to drop now that this trash is affiliated with them?

It’s incredible to what intelligence-defying lengths the anti-Israel crowd will crawl to in order to demonize Israel. The IDF doesn’t rape Arab women, so they must be racist. And the only way to fix that view is for IDF soldiers to go ahead and rape Arab women, which would of course make them criminals.

Is it not possible that the IDF is simply composed of moral people? That it sees rape as morally reprehensible? That it understands that anti-Zionists like the mental toddler who actually decided to “research” this will defy all logic just to make Israel look bad, because he knows other likeminded anti-Zionists aren’t bright enough to understand they’re foisting a double standard on Israel? Just because Israel is surrounded by a number of Arab and Muslim countries who are more or less alright with treating women like garbage doesn’t mean that their idiocy has infected Israel. Why isn’t this guy condemning the child marriages in Saudi Arabia, Muslims who conspire to murder their own daughers, honor killings in Jordan that target women, or husband-beaten wives in Saudi Arabia who are forced to pay their husbands for divorce?

Since when did not having forceful sex with someone signify your racism? Why is rape such an atrocious crime, but when Israel is added to the equation, all of a sudden not committing rape is just as bad? I seem to recall an incident where a group of very racist Islamists raped and impregnated a poor young Canadian reporter they kidnapped before demanding $2.5 million for her return (she’s still being held hostage). But of course, this double standard only applies to Israel, as do so many others.

Marines Forced Saddham to Watch 'South Park' Movie

Wonder if the human rights organizations so obsessed with terrorists in Gitmo will cry about this kind of 'torture'...

Turns out the US Marines have a sense of humor; those who were holding Saddham Hussein in captivity in 2006 forced the dictator to repeatedly watch the South Park Movie: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut. Hussein himself is depicted as the gay, loony-voiced boyfriend of Satan in the movie, and still makes occasional appearances on the show. The US Army's 4th Infantry Division sent an autographed picture of Saddham Hussein to South Park creators Trey Parker (left in picture) and Matt Stone (right).

Stone stated, "We're very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means. Its one of our biggest highlights.

Quite possibly the funniest thing I'll hear all weekend.

11 Year-Old Suicide Bomber

Abdullah was caught crossing with Taliban fighters into Afghanistan from Pakistan. The 11 year-old boy was wearing a large jacket stuffed with explosives. His reasoning is that if he doesn't blow himself to bits and kill innocent people, non-Muslims will invade Muslim countries. He has been termed the "world's youngest suicide bomber". Click here for a video interview.

Incidentally, Abdullah was raised in a mosque in Pakistan. Go figure.

According to Atlas Shrugs:

Mr Neely said Abdullah's days were spent reading the Koran and his evenings were taken up learning how to load weapons and how foreigners came to Muslim lands to kill them.

But it's okay, folks. Because as Obama told everyone, "America is not at war with Islam." Which clearly means that Islam is not at war with America.

Right?

Bigoted Professors and Palestinian Murderers, Hypocrisy

A Palestinian went on a rampage with a pickaxe and knife today through a West Bank settlement, ending in the murder of a 13 year-old Jewish teen and the murderer's escape. It seems killing Jewish teenagers with pickaxes is helping end the Israeli "occupation" or bring peace. This just shows that a Palestinian state alongside Israel will only create more problems for the Jewish state.

The hypocrisy of the Palestinian Authority (or any Palestinian authority) knows no bounds. The PA has now issued a death penalty for any Palestinians who sell land to Jews or Israelis, apparently oblivious of the fact that Israeli has given the Palestinians an immense amount of land over the past 60 years and gotten squat in return.

I had an interesting experience two days ago in a "Political Islam" class. The professor, last name Petrovic, which doesn't sound Arab in the least, opened the first lecture of the course with this line:

"Christianity is a religion most authentic in times of suffering. Islam, on the other hand, is a religion of success."

I ran that through my head for five minutes and couldn't find an explanation for it in which he was not trash-talking Christianity and asserting Islamic "superiority". What does Christianity- or any religion besides Islam- have to do with Political Islam? Nothing, certainly not enough to be mention as the first topic of discussion in the class.

Petrovic then went on to call Jesus a "failure" within the first half hour. I promptly packed my papers and left the class. I contacted the School of Social Sciences yesterday and they pointed me to Petrovic's right to free speech.

How many other teachers are spewing this hate speech in their classes, hiding behind the right to free speech the same way flag burners and anti-Westerners living in the US do? How many professors are poisoning the minds of their students with this irrelevant and entirely unnecessary filth, all the while hiding behind its title as "legitimate discourse"?

I expect better from academia. I guess my standards are too high.
