Educating Omar

After reading an excellent article posted by Wolfgang Bruno on his weblog I thought I would share with you some of his thoughts and plans on educating the Muslim and helping him/her understand where the truth stands.

From Wolfgang Bruno

I have advocated the idea of creating an organized network to promote Islam-critical books in cyberspace. Maybe a dozen or more blogs and websites could form the global backbone of this network, the cyberspace version of Radio Free Europe.

The following list of books is based solely on my own subjective views. The authors have not been consulted about whether they would agree to publish their books on the Internet, and it is quite possible that some of them might object to this. However, it is likely that several of them would agree to this, provided that they get adequate financial compensation for this. The number of suggested titles could easily be doubled, but any such Online Infidel Library would probably include some of the books I have listed here. I have read most of these books myself, but include some by reputation or recommendations from people I trust:

Hezbollah Busted in Mexican Smuggling Operation

The US-Mexico border is becoming a real pain in the...#!*&!

FBI Director Robert Mueller said this week that his agency busted a smuggling ring organized by the terrorist group Hezbollah that had operatives cross the Mexican border to carry out possible terrorist attacks inside the U.S.

In a stunning revelation, Mueller admitted that Hezbollah had succeeded in smuggling some of its operatives across the border.

The Online Infidel Library

What a great post by Wolfgang Bruno!

Creating an Online Infidel Library could be an excellent weapon for the kaffir in his struggle against the invading Islamic army.

"Jihadist Muslims are war fetishists. Their obsession with orgies with virgins in the heavenly Islamic brothel and the close connection between death and orgasm borders on necrophilia. You don’t frighten a war fetishist with war, and you don’ scare a death cult with death. Although the use of force will sometimes be necessary to win this fight, it is important to understand that this is not Islam’s weak point. Islam is a warrior creed, a very good one. War, death and mayhem are its home ground. Free speech is ours. We should draw the enemy away from his home ground by teasing his arrogance, lure him out into the open and over to our home ground, where we have the natural advantage.

Now is the perfect time to launch an ideological counter-offensive, using the Internet."

"I have advocated the idea of creating an organized network to promote Islam-critical books in cyberspace. Maybe a dozen or more blogs and websites could form the global backbone of this network, the cyberspace version of Radio Free Europe. This to make it more difficult for hackers to block the efforts, and to disseminate the books as much as possible. The websites should preferably be based in the USA, since it has the strongest protection of freedom of speech, or at least outside of the jurisdiction of the Eurabian Union."

Divine Strake. The 700-tonne bomb!

The US military plans to detonate a 700-tonne explosive charge in a test called "Divine Strake".

James Tegnelia, head of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency said the test was part of a US effort to develop weapons capable of destroying deeply buried bunkers housing nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.

Colonel W. Ivey's Report from Iraq

From Colonel William Ivey (Iraq)
March 30th, 2006

Feel free to forward this to whomever, since we still can’t seem to get the press to tell folks what is going on. This is how the fight is going from my foxhole, and it is much more than the bombings, US casualties, and rumors of civil war the press seems to be focused on.

BLUF (the Bottomline up front):

"We are not, and have not been, on the verge of civil war. We have had an increase in killings by militia groups in the past five weeks, and that is not helping get the new government seated, but we (the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and Coalition Forces) are far from losing control."

President Bush on "Democracy in Iraq"

To my astonishment I keep reading articles, written by authoritative American journalists, which criticize the US Army or the US Government for their handling of the Iraqi situation.
Last but not least, John Derbyshire, NRO (National Review Online) columnist, who admits: "Yes, I criticize the military" . In his article, titled "Chickenhawks" , he writes:

"In the first place, I very strongly resist the idea that any national policy that puts the military in harm’s way should be above criticism on those grounds alone. If my government sends troops to trouble spot X in furtherance of policy Y, and I disagree with Y, not only am I at liberty to say so, it is my citizenly duty to say so. You may of course argue that by speaking out in public, I am encouraging the enemy, and so indirectly causing more U.S. casualties. The obvious riposte is that by speaking out, I may hasten the end of a mistaken (according to me) policy, saving casualties that would otherwise have occurred. As debating points, these are a wash".

Today, Mr John Derbyshire, your President, Mr Bush, has given a remarkable speech at Freedom House and I'll summarise some of the points he made.

President Discusses Democracy in Iraq with Freedom House


"We meet at a time of war, but also at a moment of great hope. In our world, and due in part to our efforts, freedom is taking root in places where liberty was unimaginable a couple of years ago. Just 25 years ago, at the start of the 1980s, there were only 45 democracies on the face of the Earth. Today, Freedom House reports there are 122 democracies, and more people now live in liberty than ever before.

The people of Afghanistan have elected their first democratic parliament in more than a generation. The people of Lebanon have recovered their independence and chosen their leaders in free elections. The people of Kyrgyzstan have driven a corrupt regime from power and voted for democratic change. The people of Liberia have overcome decades of violence and are now led by the first woman elected as a head of state in any African nation. And the courageous people of Iraq have gone to the polls not once, not twice, but three times, choosing a transitional government, a democratic constitution, and a new government under that constitution."

"In the wake of recent violence in Iraq, many Americans are asking legitimate questions:
Why are Iraqis so divided?
And did America cause the instability by removing Saddam Hussein from power?
They ask, after three elections, why are the Iraqi people having such a hard time coming together?
And can a country with so many divisions ever build a stable democracy?
They ask why we can't bring our troops home now and let the Iraqis sort out their differences on their own."

"These are fair questions, and today, I'll do my best to answer them. I'll discuss some of the reasons for the instability we're seeing in Iraq, why democracy is the only force that can overcome these divisions, why I believe the vast majority of Iraqis want to live in freedom and peace, and why the security of our nation depends on the success of a free Iraq"

"Today,some Americans ask whether removing Saddam caused the divisions and instability we're now seeing.
In fact, much of the animosity and violence we now see is the legacy of Saddam Hussein. He is a tyrant who exacerbated sectarian divisions to keep himself in power. Iraq is a nation with many ethnic and religious and sectarian and regional and tribal divisions. Before Saddam Hussein, Iraqis from different communities managed to live together. ...To prevent these different groups from coming to challenge his regime, Saddam Hussein undertook a deliberate strategy of maintaining control by dividing the Iraqi people. He stayed on top by brutally repressing different Iraqi communities and pitting them one against the other."

"The argument that Iraq was stable under Saddam and that stability is now in danger because we removed him is wrong. While liberation has brought its own set of challenges, Saddam Hussein's removal from power was the necessary first step in restoring stability and freedom to the people of Iraq."

"Today some Americans are asking why the Iraqi people are having such a hard time building a democracy.
The reason is that the terrorists and former regime elements are exploiting the wounds inflicted under Saddam's tyranny. The enemies of a free Iraq are employing the same tactics Saddam used -- killing and terrorizing the Iraqi people in an effort to foment sectarian division.

For the Saddamists, provoking sectarian strife is business as usual. And we know from the terrorists' own words that they're using the same tactics with the goal of inciting a civil war."

"...Yet, despite massive provocations, Iraq has not descended into civil war. Most Iraqis have not turned to violence. The Iraqi security forces have not broken up into sectarian groups waging war against each other. Instead, Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish soldiers stood together to protect religious sites, enforce a curfew, and restore civil order."

"... Iraqi leaders are coming to grips with an important truth: The only practical way to overcome the divisions of three decades of tyranny is through democracy. Democracy is the only form of government where every person has a say in the governance of a country. It's the only form of government that will yield to a peaceful Middle East."

"..Finally, some Americans are asking if it's time to pull out our troops and leave the Iraqis to settle their own differences.
I know the work in Iraq is really difficult, but I strongly feel it's vital to the security of our country. The terrorists are killing and maiming and fighting desperately to stop the formation of a unity government because they understand what a free Iraq in the heart of the Middle East means for them and their ideology. They know that when freedom sets root in Iraq, it will be a mortal blow to their aspirations to dominate the region and advance their hateful vision. So they're determined to stop the advance of a free Iraq, and we must be equally determined to stop them."

".. The irony is that the enemy seems to have a much clearer sense of what's at stake than some of the politicians here in Washington, D.C."

"...If we leave Iraq before the job is done, the terrorists will move in and fill the vacuum, and they will use that failed state to bring murder and destruction to freedom-loving nations.

I know some in our country disagree with my decision to liberate Iraq. Whatever one thought about the decision to remove Saddam from power, I hope we should all agree that

pulling our troops out prematurely would be a disaster. If we were to let the terrorists drive us out of Iraq, we would signal to the world that America cannot be trusted to keep its word. We would undermine the morale of our troops by betraying the cause for which they have sacrificed. We would cause the tyrants in the Middle East to laugh at our failed resolve and tighten their repressive grip. The global terrorist movement would be emboldened and more dangerous than ever. For the security of our citizens and the peace of the world, we will not turn the future of Iraq over to the followers of a failed dictator, or to evil men like bin Laden and Zarqawi."

Al-Qaeda vs. Saudi Royal family and US

March 29, 2006
A message purported to have been written by Lewis Attiya Allah, an al-Qaeda ideologist, addressing Saudi security forces, intelligence forces, and general Muslim population and asking them to turn upon American soldiers as revenge for Iraq was recently distributed to a jihadist forum. Most of the rancor from Attiya Allah is directed against the Saudi government for allowing American forces to maintain their bases on their land, not only supporting them logistically, but allegedly controlling oil for their needs. He states if the “Crusader campaign” was not launched from Saudi Arabia, the America would have “fell in days” in its War in Iraq.


Following his lengthy diatribe on the Saudi royal family and the American “occupier,” Lewis Attiya Allah urges those within the Saudi security apparatus who still have faith in Islam that it is an “obligation” to shoot Americans instead of protecting them, and to kill those who order them to protect Americans. In addition, he calls upon every pilot to bomb American carriers stationed the Gulf, and lacking those targets, to attack airports where the planes are housed or even the palaces of who protects the American soldiers.



To the Muslim people in general, he states: “…those Crusaders came to us invading and killing our brothers in Iraq. Do not miss it, kill them and beat them everywhere and kill whomever you have the change and all who help them or facilitate their mission in killing the Iraqi people”.

Amanpour in praise of Hamas

In "From terrorism to trash collection", which appeared yesterday on CNN’s Anderson Cooper “blog,” CNN Correspondent Christiane Amanpour has more than just words of praise for Hamas.

When people ask: “Why did the Palestinian people elect a terrorist group?” The answer is because they see them as a lifeline.

Hamas gained support among Palestinians through two decades of building an effective and affordable social welfare system in Gaza. It runs most of the kindergartens, funds health clinics, provides welfare checks to widows and orphans, and yes, even stages mass weddings to help unemployed young men get married.

Each time I go to the Palestinian territory of Gaza, I am shocked by the reality on the ground. On a recent visit, I passed through a short tunnel from the First World in Israel and emerged into the Third World that is Gaza. The poverty there is among the worst in the world.

Hamas officials told me they did not expect to win the election as overwhelmingly as they did. They say their main priority now is to meet the demands of the people for a better life.

But that may be impossible, because Israel and the United States refuse to deal with Hamas and have already cut funding to the new Palestinian government.

How sad! I thought, when writing "Undeserved hostility", that maybe I was exaggerating. Every day that goes by, I realise that I was right! America's biggest enemy is not in the Middle East, but is hiding between Mexico and Canada!

Even Al Capone & Co. used to help hundreds of poor Italian families, while running the mob and causing terror and bloodshed. Does that mean that he wasn't a mobster?

Support for Israel at its highest level

American popular support for Israel has reached its highest level since the first Gulf War according to the results of a Gallup poll released on Monday.

Conservative Republicans and religious believers gave Israel the greatest support the survey found, but the report noted the Jewish state's support among Christian Americans does not lie only with fundamentalists but cuts across denominational lines, with Roman Catholics supporting Israel by the same margin as Protestants.

Gallup noted that Israel's hard-core supporters in the US are found among President George W. Bush's political base. "Frequent churchgoers who are Republicans have the highest levels of sympathy to Israelis", Gallup noted.

Among white survey participants, Protestants backed Israel over the Palestinians by 63% to 14%, Roman Catholics 64% to 13%, and non-Christian religious believers at 66% to 10%. Support among those who espoused no religion was still overwhelmingly in favor of Israel, at 45% to 19%.

Muslim Brotherhood vs US

(background info)

Since its founding in 1928, the Muslim Brotherhood (Hizb al-Ikhwan al-Muslimun) has profoundly influenced the political life of the Middle East. Its motto is telling: "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

Hasan al-Banna created an organization described by Arab historians as "the greatest modern Islamic movement." Al-Banna was known to say:

"We need three generations for our plans - one to listen, one to fight, and one to win."


The most recent prominent terrorist offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood is the Palestinian group HAMAS, which surfaced as a separate group in 1988 upon the release of its "Islamic Covenant" by Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. He had been the head of the Muslim Brotherhood in Gaza for a number of years and his group can be traced back to 1978 when it was registered as an Islamic association called Al-Mujamma Al-Islami. In its Islamic Covenant of 1988 the group plainly describes itself as the "Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood."

(in the last decade)...With moderate rhetoric and well-spoken German, Dutch, and French, the Muslim Brotherhood has gained acceptance among European governments and media alike. Politicians across the political spectrum rush to engage them whenever an issue involving Muslims arises or, more parochially, when they seek the vote of the burgeoning Muslim community.

But, speaking Arabic or Turkish before their fellow Muslims, they drop their facade and embrace radicalism. While their representatives speak about interfaith dialogue and integration on television, their mosques preach hate and warn worshippers about the evils of Western society. While they publicly condemn the murder of commuters in Madrid and school children in Russia, they continue to raise money for Hamas and other terrorist organizations. Europeans, eager to create a dialogue with their increasingly disaffected Muslim minority, overlook this duplicity. The case is particularly visible in Germany, which retains a place of key importance in Europe, not only because of its location at the heart of Europe, but also because it played host to the first major wave of Muslim Brotherhood immigrants and is host to the best-organized Brotherhood presence. The German government's reaction is also instructive if only to show the dangers of accepting Muslim Brotherhood rhetoric at face value, without looking at the broader scope of its activities.

March 28 2006
In his speech before the 3rd international conference for supporting Palestinian and Iraqi resistance, the Muslim Brotherhood Chairman, Mr. M. Akef, criticized the US policies in the region and called upon Muslims to unite in their pursuit of justice. The followings are excerpts from his speech:

(Israel)

"The human race had hoped for a better future in the aftermath of the Second World War...then terrible human crime took place by the recognition of Israel on the ruins of Palestine . . . via genocides against its Palestinian inhabitants forcing the expatriation of those who survived and rendering them Diaspora worldwide. A state that was established by the confiscation of land and houses and by annexation of towns and villages in the worst form of raciest and . . . colonialist occupation that is ever known."

(USA)

"After the end of the Cold War, following the collapse of the Soviet Union and the rise of the US as the only superpower in the world, the US disclosed its plots for hegemony and domination of the whole world by establishing a new colonialist empire . . . used the United Nations as a tool . . . (and sometimes) bypassed the UN and carried out its plots in defiance and arrogance to such a degree whereby it used its Congress to pass laws for punishing other sovereign states!
This was followed by the co-operation between the old and new colonial powers in order to . . . weaken and humiliate our Umma . . . supplying Israel with aid and weapons . . . using the Vito (sic) in the Security Council to protect the Israeli aggression . . . (and) by imposing and supporting the repressive and despotic regimes that repel its people to govern our countries."


". . . the US administration has invented the story of the “Weapon of Mass Destruction”, and the alleged co-operation between the Iraqi regime and Al Qaeda . . . to invade Iraq, killing tens of thousands of its citizens...

"The US is still preying around Syria to bring it to its knees . . . trying to impose a puppet regime in Lebanon and disarm HezboAllah . . . isolating Iran and forcing it to abandon its peaceful nuclear program . . . (all of that) to safeguard the Israeli interests and supremacy in the region. The American assault extended to environment by refusing to ratify Kyoto Treaty.

"I salute not only all men and women but also the children who with stones steadfastly fending off the forces of occupation armed with most lethal weapons. It is our duty to support them through:
• Dissemination of Islamic principles that reject submission to repression and invoke resistance
• Revival of the will of liberation and independence amongst our people in order to maintain an honorable life, preserve the identity and wealth
• Supporting Hamas, the elected Palestinian Administration, financially and morally . . . to preserve the dignity of the Palestinian people and to spare them the need to be dependent on the biased West
• Supporting Sudan and safeguard its sovereignty against the imminent western military intervention in Darfour
• Co-operation with the free men and women across the world to stand firm against all forms of occupation . . . to form a world league and an international public opinion
• Reactivation of the economic embargo to the colonialist countries and boycotting the negative aspects of their culture that do not conform to our values
• Striving to correct the distorted image of Islam perpetuated by the Zionist media in the mind of majority of Western people; clarifying the true nature of our just causes in order to win western public support."

"Positive Hatred" of Christians is ok

Yet another Islamic lecture for infidels. Enjoy it!

Sheikh Abd Al-Aziz Fawzan Al-Fawzan, a professor of Islamic law at Al-Imam University , who frequently appears on Saudi TV, recently made anti-Christian comments on Saudi Al-Majd TV. He told his audience to hate anyone

"who worships Christ, son of Mary" and added that "whoever says 'I don't hate him [i.e. a Christian]' is not a Muslim..." He went on to explain that such an attitude "is not racism" since the Christian is not hated "because of his color, gender, blood, country, or because he is American, European, Chinese, or Asian," and stipulated that this hatred should be "positive hatred" that guides and reforms."

"...if this person is an infidel - even if this person is my mother or father, God forbid, or my son or daughter - I must hate him, his heresy, and his defiance of Allah and His prophet. I must hate his abominable deeds..."

Italy on high alert

"Italy is on a state of high alert for possible terrorist attacks during the final phase of the elections campaign. Voting is scheduled to take place on April 9 and 10, and it is feared that Islamic militants may strike immediately before voting to maximize its political impact."

A terrorist attack just before polling will undoubtedly influence the outcome of the elections, despite protestations to the contrary by Italian politicians.

"On a different note, terrorist attacks would seriously undermine the position of Italy's mainstream Muslim community which already faces widespread discrimination and are nowhere near as integrated as other Muslim immigrant communities in Western Europe"

We see life and death in a different way, don't we?

Undeserved hostility

In Iraq, in Kosovo, in Afghanistan, anywhere in the world, you can win a war, because you are a mighty and powerful country and you know who and where the enemy is.

You know how to attack it and how to defend yourself from it.

You have come out victorious most of the time, and most of the time the people of the world have thanked you for what you have done.

But I fear that you, gentle giant, do not know how to defend yourself from the enemies that attack you from within.

You cannot believe that your own children are turning against you. You don't believe that your own people lay the blame on you for not giving them "more"!

I can see the frustration in your eyes, I can feel the disappointment in your big heart. I also know (but this is strictly between you and me) that there are times when you ask yourself: "Why bother?"

You sit at the table with your children to celebrate a victory, to give them good news about your accomplishments, to get acknowledgement for the big effort you put in, and they look at you as if you were a bloodthirsty hypocrite.

One asks you: "Are you willing to sacrifice American lives to keep Iraqis from killing one another?" (ABC's Jessica Yellin)

And another: "Do you believe [Defense Secretary Donald] Rumsfeld should resign?" (CNN's Kathleen Koch)

And: "Are you concerned that the Iraq experience is going to embolden authoritarian regimes in the Middle East and make it tougher to get democracy there?" (USA Today's David Jackson)

"Is there a point at which having the American forces in Iraq becomes more a part of the problem than a part of the solution?" (Bob Deans of Cox News)

"A growing number of Americans are questioning the trustworthiness of you and this White House. Does that concern you?" (The Washington Post's Jim VandeHei)

"Your decision to invade Iraq has caused the deaths of thousands of Americans and Iraqis, wounds of Americans and Iraqis for a lifetime. Every reason given, publicly at least, has turned out not to be true." (Hearst columnist Helen Thomas)

"Let me ask you about this charge of incompetence, because we hear that not just about Iraq, but we hear it more — and being raised sometimes by members of your own party on a variety of issues — the bumbling after Katrina, the Harriet Miers nomination, the failure to see the political implications of the Dubai Ports deal." (CBS Bob Schieffer)

You look at them astonished. Like a father with his children, you want to open your big arms and collectively hug them, forgive them, because you love them more than anybody else. It doesn't even cross your mind that they might be betraying your trust in them. You just keep loving them.

And you love them even when 500.000 of them come together to protest against you and your immigration reforms.

You didn't close one eye when they sneaked in, you closed both, because you love them. You gave them all they could ask and never got in their countries.

You welcomed them on your soil, you gave them dignity, pride, bread, jobs, hope, opportunities, and today they march against you waving Mexican flags.

This is the way your children say "thank you" to you!

Say "Talaq" three times and you're done!

A muslim woman told her friends that her husband said "talaq" ("divorce") three times in his sleep and when local islamic leaders heard that they said that the man's words constituted a divorce under islamic law.
The couple, married for 11 years with three children, were told they had to split.

Oh..they do make life easier, the Muslims!
I wish three talaqs were enough for my wife!

Iranian woman on the brink of execution

Muslim women once again victimised by Shariah law!

The latest case is that of Fatemeh Haghighat-Pajooh, who murdered her “temporary husband” for attempted rape of her 15-year-old daughter.

Her execution is reportedly scheduled to take place by or before April 1st.

According to various received reports, the Islamic regime is planning to execute her quietly so that any pressure from the international human rights groups can be foiled. The Islamic regime, fearing any further protests and challenges by Iranian women, plans to use Haghighat-Pajooh’s case in order to strike more fear and intimidation in the hearts of Iranian women.

Fatemeh’s daughter appeals to all freedom-loving people around the world as well as international human rights groups for immediate attention to her mother’s case.

MAC's success in pressuring the organisers of the March for Free Expression to tell people not to bring placards and t-shirts of the cartoons (see below) has resulted a poor turnout of no more than 300.

It is inclusive. It extols science and knowledge and abhors superstition. It is practical and way ahead of its time in attitudes to marriage, women and governance," he said.

Muslim Preacher on Temple Mount: Restore Worldwide Islamic Rule

Sheikh Ismail Nawahda, preaching to Moslem masses on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem on Friday, has brought it out into the open: the call to restore the Moslem Khalifate, or, "Genuine Islamic Rule."

Friday's sermons are becoming a must for all of us, kaffirs!

A plan for the "Return of the Khalifate" was published secretly in 2002 by a group called "The Guiding Helper Foundation." The group explained that it wished to "give direction to the educated Muslim populace in its increasing interest in the establishment of Islam as a practical system of rule."

This past Friday, Feb. 24, however, the plan went public. Sheikh Nawahda called publicly for the renewal of the Islamic Khalifate, which would "unite all the Moslems in the world against the infidels."

Muslim leaders fear thousands of children are abused at madrassas

"Thousands of Muslim schoolchildren are being physically and sexually abused by their religious teachers every year, according to a report into the Islamic education system in this country.

The potential scale of the abuse has led to fears among Muslim leaders that Britain's Mosque-based schools will face the kind of child abuse claims that has recently scandalised the Roman Catholic Church.

Up to 100,000 children are taught at 700 Islamic schools, or madrassas, of which almost a half use unlawful corporal punishment to discipline pupils, says the report into child protection published today by the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain. The authors also warn that each year at least a dozen children are sexually abused by their teachers and Imans with very few cases ever being made public.
Years of unregulated education means that tens of thousands of Muslim pupils now face a significant risk of harm by attending school, says the report.

"Because of the fear of child abuse some parents prefer home tuition instead, a practice said to be flourishing," it adds.

Today, the Muslim Parliament of Great Britain will urge the Government to establish a national registration scheme for madrassas, co-ordinated centrally and monitored by local authorities, to meet their legal obligations under The Children Act 1989.

Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui, leader of the Muslim Parliament, will say: "Sweeping the issue of child abuse in UK madrassas under the carpet is not a solution. If nothing is done now we may face an avalanche of child sex-abuse scandals, decades afterwards, similar to those that had rocked the Roman Catholic Church in the 1990s. To protect the integrity of these valued institutions it is important that all madrassas put in place transparent and accountable policies and procedures for all."

I hope that British Muslims won't blame Bush or Blair or Israel for this! It would only be fair if parents of abused Muslim children would come forward and denounce the abuses to which their children are subjected.

The Dawning of a New Dark Age

"The Dawning of a New Dark Age: A Collection of Essays on Islam" which looks like a must read for all infidels.

Book description from one of the Editorial Reviews:

FOREWORD
On September 11, 2001, Muslim terrorists launched an attack on the United States to punish it for being what Osama bin Laden considered ‘the land of the infidels’! In fact, this attack was an attack on the entire Western world and, even more important, it was an attack on Western civilization, the underlying objective being to take civilization back fourteen hundred years to a time of great glory for the Islamic world.

In the wake of the attack by young Muslim extremists, which resulted in the collapse of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, our leaders attempted to assure us that the terrorists did not represent the entire Muslim world. It was said that they were the actions of a minority, of an extreme fringe group. It was, and continues to be, troubling, however, that we have heard very little strong condemnation coming from the supposed moderate Muslim community. Who are these moderates? Why have they not spoken out more vociferously? Do they really exist? When will they speak out with moral indignation? Indeed, will they ever?

For most Westerners Islam is thought to be just another world religion, equal to Christianity and Judaism. But is this really the case? Upon closer study, Islam seems to be far different from the other two religions. Certainly no one would accuse Muslims of being tolerant, non-judgmental, non-violent or peace-loving! While Muslims have been allowed to build hundreds of mosques in Western countries, Christian churches may only rarely be built, if ever, in Muslim countries! Indeed in some Muslim countries such as the Sudan, it is official government policy to demolish churches! In addition, it is difficult to believe that any world religion would advocate treating women as second-class citizens, and actually get away with it!

The concept of brotherhood in Islam is strong. The posture advocated by Prophet Mohammed in the Koran toward non-Muslims, however, is to seek them out and annihilate them. The phenomenon of suicide bombers is at once both pathetic and chilling. On the one hand, it is pathetic that young Muslims are taught that they can gain entrance into paradise by taking people’s lives in such a gruesome manner. Carnal pleasures, of course, await the males upon entrance into heaven! On the other hand, it is chilling to think that there are any people living in the 21st century ready to teach and encourage such savagery. What is the supposed theological justification for holding to such beliefs? Indeed, is there any such thing in Islam as theology in which the tenets of the faith are examined critically? Isn’t it the case, rather, that the teachings of Prophet Mohammed are accepted literally, and without question?

In his book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age, Mark Alexander explores these questions, and often finds disturbing answers. Unlike many authors on the subject, Mark actually lived and worked among Muslims for many years; so he has first-hand knowledge of the religion and culture. While on his tours of duty in the Middle East, Mark immersed himself in Islam and Arabic culture, studying the religion both from Occidental and Oriental perspectives. He familiarized himself not only with the Koran, but also with the beliefs and attitudes of Muslims in the street. This experience has given him unusually clear insights into the aspirations of the Muslim world. Mark’s conclusions will not be comforting to those who would like to believe that the long-term threat to the West is limited to the aspirations of a few fundamentalist terrorists.

From the Author
Political correctness is a particularly powerful tool for Muslims in the West. It is a movement and mood few have the courage to go against. It makes people fearful of speaking out – fearful of falling foul of the politically correct laws that have been passed to protect minorities.

Whilst there is no doubt that political correctness has helped many minority groups gain in strength, it does have a downside: it prevents us from protecting our own culture. In the face of a powerful culture such as Islam, this is a weakness for us indeed.

If Islam were a benign, spiritual force, a power for good, then it would not be such a problem for us in the long-term. But it is not. Islam is anything but benign: it is a powerful, political movement with ambitious objectives. A worldwide movement with the ambition of establishing Allah’s kingdom on earth! It wishes to beat adherents of all other religions into submission: into the submission of the one true almighty God. Each state will then become the tool of religion – theocratic, restrictive, dominant, and based on Koranic law, Shariah law. That day will be a dark day for the world. It will mark the dawning of a new dark age! Adulteresses and gays, infidels and the non-compliant will be killed in Allah’s name! Democracy, free will and free speech will be relegated to the dustbin of history! Only Islamic opinions will count. The whole world will bow in submission to Allah, in the direction of the Ka’aba. Jerusalem, one of the three most important cities in Islam will be under Islamic jurisdiction. Christianity and Judaism, and all ‘lesser’ religions will have been vanquished. It will be a dark day for humankind!

Afghanistan: more Christians arrested

During the last few days, two other Afghan Christians were arrested elsewhere in the country.
Because of the sensitive situation, local sources requested that the location of the jailed converts be withheld.

This past weekend, one young Afghan convert to Christianity was beaten severely outside his home by a group of six men, who finally knocked him unconscious with a hard blow to his temple. He woke up in the hospital two hours later but was discharged before morning.

“Our brother remains steadfast, despite the ostracism and beatings,” one of his friends said.

Several other Afghan Christians have been subjected to police raids on their homes and places of work in the past month, as well as to telephone threats.

Meanwhile, Abdul Rahman is still in jail awaiting the outcome of the trial.

News of his case did not break until March 16, when Ariana TV announced it. According to the TV newscaster, Rahman was asked in court, “Do you confess that you have apostacized from Islam?” The defendant answered, “No, I am not an apostate. I believe in God.”

He was then questioned, “Do you believe in the Quran?” Rahman responded, “I believe in the New Testament, and I love Jesus Christ.”

L'Algeria. Un altro cattivo esempio di Islam moderato

Non e' mai troppo tardi per imparare. Questo vale specialmente per gli Europei, grassi, ignoranti e qualunquisti.

Mentre ogni paese musulmano si prepara da tempo alla Jihad, liberando terroristi, e preparandosi alla guerra di religione infittendo le schiere di Jihadisti, gli Europei stanno a guardare, sperando, nel profondo del loro cuore, che prima o poi la Chiesa di Roma ci guidi a una nuova Lepanto! Miserie dell'Eurabia!

Con i politici di casa nostra, per non parlare di quelli di Brusselles, che si preoccupano di curare il loro orticello, facendo finta di non vedere che il nemico ci ha quasi accerchiato, noi non abbiamo alcuna speranza di salvezza.

"Si vis Pacem, para bellum".

Un ultimo esempio della non-esistenza dell'Islam moderato, viene dall'Algeria, che ha approvato lunedi una legge che impedisce, con pene pecuniarie e detentive, che un Cristiano tenti di fare proselitismo in quel paese, cioe' che cerchi di convertire un musulmano alla religione cristiana.

La legge vieta inoltre a tutte le religioni, eccetto quella islamica, la pratica della fede aldila' di edifici appositamente stabiliti per il culto della stessa.

E' evidente che dal giorno della sua rielezione, Bouteflika ha dato un duro colpo di sterzo al paese passando da un regime "alla turca" ad un'alleanza tra laici e militari, ad una "sudanizzazione" del paese, cioe' ad un'alleanza tra islamisti e militari.

In queste ultime settimane, ben 2500 terroristi islamici sono stati liberati in Algeria (e tra questi molti membri del GIA).

The US Department Of State released the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices- 2005, by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. As relating to Algeria, the report said:

c) Freedom of Religion

Article 2 of the constitution declares Islam to be the state religion. There are restrictions on public assembly for purposes of practicing a faith other than Islam without a license, prohibitions on proselytizing of citizens by foreigners, and controls on the importation of religious materials. In practice, the government restricted religious freedom.

The government requires organized religions to obtain official recognition prior to conducting any religious activities. The Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Seventh-day Adventist churches are the only non-Islamic faiths authorized to operate in the country. Members of other denominations, particularly Methodists, were forced to operate without government permission or register as a part of the Protestant Church. According to the Ministry of Religious Affairs, the Ministry of Interior is responsible for determining the penalties for those practicing a non-recognized religion; however, in practice, non-recognized religious group meetings were largely tolerated.

Islamic law (Shari'a) does not recognize conversion from Islam to any other religion; however, in cases of conversion the government applies civil law, where conversion is not illegal. There are no specific laws against Muslim citizens proselytizing non-Muslims; however the government considers the proselytizing of Muslim citizens by non-Muslims a subversive activity. The government restricted the importation of religious literature, including Islamic literature, intended for widespread distribution, although it did not restrict such materials for personal use. Over the last few years, non-Islamic religious texts and music and video selections have become easier to locate for purchase. The government-owned radio station provided broadcast time to a Protestant and Catholic radio broadcast. The government prohibited the dissemination of any literature portraying violence as a legitimate precept of Islam.

The ministries of education and religious affairs strictly require, regulate, and fund the study of Islam in public schools. The government monitored activities in mosques for possible security-related offenses, barred their use as public meeting places outside of regular prayer hours, and convoked imams to the Ministry of Religious Affairs for "disciplinary action" when deemed appropriate. The Ministry of Religious Affairs provided financial support to mosques and paid the salaries of imams; the ministry also trained and regulated the appointment of imams, and the law allows it to pre-screen religious sermons before they are delivered publicly (see section 2.a.). However, the ministry rarely interferes with sermons beyond an advisory capacity. The government monitors all Koranic schools to prevent extremist teachings.

The Penal Code provides prison sentences and fines for preaching in a mosque by persons who have not been recognized by the government as imams. Persons (including imams recognized by the government) were prohibited from speaking out during prayers at the mosque in a manner that was "contrary to the noble nature of the mosque or likely to offend the cohesion of society or serve as an apology for such actions." The Ministry of Religious Affairs controlled Islamic sermons during the violence between Islamists and the government during the 1990s, and those restrictions largely remained in place.

A big French scandal

How can this happen in a country like France?

Almost unreported by the French press, here is an article which makes the heros of la Resistance Francaise turn into their graves!

"After Nord-Éclair, France-Echos and Caroline Fourest, the weekly newspaper Marianne reveals one of the biggest scandals of modern France: in Roubaix and in the French département of Nord [near the Belgian Border], environmentalist and socialist elected representatives subsidized conferences and radio programmes for Islamists such as Hassan Iquioussen and Tariq Ramadan.

The Marianne delivery of March 11, 2006 contains a four-page article on that affair, exposed by Messaoud Bouras for years but strangely overshadowed by the media.

(Click here to familiarise with a great and courageous man, Messaoud Bouras.)

You heard it right: today, French elected representatives have, in their pitiful run for votes, made subsidies available for declared enemies of the French Republic through associations, radio stations or “school support” groups.

The beneficiaries of those generous gifts are people as despicable as Hassan Iquioussen, the anti-Jew preacher from UIOF [Union des organisations islamiques de France - Union of Muslim Associations in France], Tariq Ramadan, the takia-expert who wants to impose Sharia to French Muslims ("Tariq Ramadan est non pas un poseur de bombes, mais un poseur d'idées particulièrement nocives pour les libertés publiques" writes Caroline Fourrest in "Frere Tariq"), the notorious “Indigènes de la République” association [”Natives of the Republic”, “Natives” meaning here former colonized people, i.e. mainly of African or Arab descent] and their call for racist Jihad against people of French descent, or “school support” groups that form real Koranic Madrassas.

We are glad to see Messaoud Bouras’ long-lasting struggle rewarded. Although we don’t share some opinions of Marianne, we must recognize its courage to fight against some strongholds of conformism, such as the MRAP* or those environmentalist or socialist elected representatives from the département of Nord.

Fear changes side!"

*MRAP = Mouvement contre le racisme et pour l’amitié entre les peuples [Movement against racism and for friendship between people], a left-wing, pro-Muslim organization financed by French taxpayer’s money. Noteworthy is the fact that it changed its name from Mouvement contre le racisme et l’antisémitisme et pour la paix [Movement against racism and antisemitism and for peace]. The fight against anti-Semitism was strangely dropped out…

Democrazia Egiziana

Nella foto, polizia egiziana copre le spalle a dei violenti muniti di coltellacci e bastoni, che hanno il compito di impedire l'accesso ai seggi elettorali.

From Taliban to...Taliban again!

from the Guardian

"An Afghan man who recently admitted he converted to Christianity faces the death penalty under the country's strict Islamic legal system. The trial is a critical test of Afghanistan's new constitution and democratic government.

The case is attracting widespread attention in Afghanistan, where local media are closely monitoring the landmark proceedings.

Abdul Rahman, 40, was arrested last month, accused of converting to Christianity.

Under Afghanistan's new constitution, minority religious rights are protected but Muslims are still subject to strict Islamic laws.

And so, officially, Muslim-born Rahman is charged with rejecting Islam and not for practicing Christianity.

Appearing in court earlier this week Rahman insisted he should not be considered an infidel, but admitted he is a Christian.

He says he still believes in the almighty Allah, but cannot say for sure who God really is. "I am," he says, "a Christian and I believe in Jesus Christ."

Rahman reportedly converted more than 16 years ago after spending time working in Germany.

Officials say his family, who remain observant Muslims, turned him over to the authorities."

Abdul Rahman rischia la pena di morte per essersi convertito al Cristianesimo!

Un Afgano di 41 anni, Abdul Rahman, rischia di morire per essersi convertito alla fede Cristiana 16 anni fa.

La costituzione afgana si basa sulla Shariah, la quale stabilisce che ogni Musulmano che abbandona l'Islam debba essere ucciso.

Abdul Rahman ha gia' trascorso un mese in carcere in attesa di giudizio.

"In Afganistan noi non siamo contro nessuna religione in particolare, ma queste cose purtroppo rappresentano un attacco all'Islam e devono essere punite" ha sentenziato il giudice, che ha chiesto per Rahman la pena di morte.

Hamas demands return of Seville!

The children's website Al Fateh, property of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas, demands, in its most recent issue, the return of the Spanish city of Seville to the "lost paradise" of Al Andalus, as the Muslim part of Spain was called during its existence between 711 and 1492. The web magazine, whose name means "conqueror," says it is for "the young builders of the future."

Ipocrisia Araba! Immutabile nei secoli! La storia delle statue di Budda.

On March 8th, 2001 at 1:15 local time in Afghanistan's Bamiyan Province, the Taliban demolished by explosion
the world's two largest statues of the standing Buddha.

These priceless antiquities, measuring 53 and 35 meters in height, were carved into a sandstone cliff in the Hindu Kush mountains of central Afghanistan some 1600 to 1700 years before.


Both images had already been subjected to anti-aircraft and tank fire before holes were drilled in their torsos and filled with dynamite. All appeals by the international community to save these sacred art treasures from destruction fell on deaf ears, as the Taliban relentlessly carried out their plan to rid Afghanistan of "idols" they considered offensive to Islam.

At the time, all the members of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), including Pakistan and Saudi Arabia, condemned the Taliban: "All OIC states - including Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, three countries that officially recognised the Taliban government - joined the protest to spare the monuments. A statement issued by the ministry of religious affairs of Taliban regime justified the destruction as being in accordance with Islamic law. Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates would later condemn the destruction as “savage.”

Today, Pakistan’s Daily Times reports that the Taliban had help from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia engineers.
"According to an account published here on Saturday, a local Afghan told the makers of a Swiss documentary on the giant statues which had stood there, carved in the side of a mountain for hundreds of years, had been destroyed by engineers from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The dynamiting of the statues took place in March 2001.
Swiss documentary filmmaker Christian Frei, who has made several documentaries that have won praise at various international film festivals, shot ‘The Giant Buddhas’ in Afghanistan. The film is due to be shown at the National Gallery of Art in Washington on 26 March."

Martyrdom online, by Hamas magazine. Strictly for kids!

The Palestinian Authority's ruling Hamas terror group has launched a web site for children, preaching the moral desirability of being a suicide terrorist via cartoons and children's stories.
The Hamas-run Al-Fateh.net glorifies shahada, martyrdom, and presents the deaths of terrorists attacking Israelis as a time of celebration, according to a report by Palestinian Media Watch.

Leggi l'articolo ed ascolta l'intervista con PMW su IsraelNationalNews.
Ecco l'articolo di Laura Mansfield for CNN, apparso sul suo official website.

(parte II de "Giornalino Hamas online")

Giornalino Hamas per bambini elogia il martirio!

Il primo numero del giornalino online di Hamas per i bambini Palestinesi e' un incoraggiamento al martirio e all'odio contro gli Ebrei.

E' quanto afferma l'ADL in un recentissimo articolo apparso sul loro official website.

Il bi-settimanale "Al-Fateh" (il Conquistatore) include storie ed articoli che elogiano i "suicide bombers", attaccando il "nemico Ebraico" con temi antisemitici ed antisionisti.

L'ultimo numero di Al-Fateh, uscito il 1.3.2006, elogia, tra l'altro, Nassim Jabari, membro di Hamas, che partecipo' nell'Agosto del 2004 ad un attacco suicida che causo' la morte di sedici Israeliani.

Incluso in questo numero c'e' anche un poemetto, giusto accanto all'apparentemente innocente figura di una bambina, che recita: "Il sangue dello Shahid (del martire)ci ha insegnato/che il martirio e' una nuova vita/il martirio e' una sicura vittoria."

Wafa Sultan e la Fratellanza Musulmana

Alla domanda: "Sta cambiando la Fratellanza Musulmana o e' tutto una grande bugia?", Wafa Sultan risponde ricordando gli efferati crimini che i suoi connazionali della Fratellanza Musulmana hanno perpetrato per anni in Siria.

Wafa Sultan suggerisce ai democratici siriani che si oppongono al regime di Assad di non credere che la Fratellanza Musulmana abbia finalmente adottato pluralismo e democrazia.

"Il popolo siriano e' stanco dell'oppressione e dispotismo di un regime (Ba'ath) che per 40 lunghi anni ha umiliato i siriani. Abbiamo prima sofferto una grande calamita' con l'avvento della famiglia Assad e dei suoi accoliti, ma ne soffriremo una ancora piu' grande se, una volta allontanati gli Assad, ci troveremo faccia a faccia con la Fratellanza Musulmana. Dio ce ne scansi e liberi."

Cento lettere a Wafa Sultan!

Dopo la sua apparizione su Al-Jazeera, Wafa Sultan, psicologa siro-americana, e' diventata una celebrita' di fama mondiale.
Ecco qui di seguito riproposte circa cento lettere (a) (b)di apprezzamento che le sono state inviate da tutto il mondo.

Dr. Wafa Sultan. L'avete vista. Ora la leggerete!

Dopo la superlativa intervista rilasciata dalla psicologa siro-americana ad Al-Jazeera il 21.2.06, vista sul web da milioni di persone grazie a MEMRI TV, e' notizia graditissima che Dr. Wafa Sultan sta per pubblicare un libro sull'Islam dal titolo "The Escaped Prisoner: When God Is a Monster."

Quel che segue e' solo una piccola parte di un interessantissimo post apparso su "Christians Under Attack".


Dr. Wafa Sultan is "working on a book that — if it is published — it's going to turn the Islamic world upside down."
"I have reached the point that doesn't allow any U-turn. I have no choice. I am questioning every single teaching of our holy book."

The working title is: "The Escaped Prisoner: When God Is a Monster."

Dr. Sultan grew up in a large traditional Muslim family in Banias, Syria, a small city on the Mediterranean about a two-hour drive north of Beirut. Her father was a grain trader and a devout Muslim, and she followed the faith's strictures into adulthood.

But, she said, her life changed in 1979 when she was a medical student at the University of Aleppo, in northern Syria. At that time, the radical Muslim Brotherhood was using terrorism to try to undermine the government of President Hafez al-Assad. Gunmen of the Muslim Brotherhood burst into a classroom at the university and killed her professor as she watched, she said.

"They shot hundreds of bullets into him, shouting, 'God is great!' " she said. "At that point, I lost my trust in their god and began to question all our teachings. It was the turning point of my life, and it has led me to this present point. I had to leave. I had to look for another god."

Pat Robertson sull'Islam

"Il fine ultimo dell'Islam, ladies and gentlemen, vi piaccia o meno, e' il dominio mondiale."

Cosi' si e' espresso Pat Robertson, famoso televangelista americano, durante il programma "The 700 Club" mandato in onda oggi negli USA.

"L'Islam non e' una religione pacifica che cerca di coesistere con le altre. I musulmani vogliono coesistere fino a quando non raggiungono il controllo (di un paese). Quindi lo dominano e poi, se necessario, lo distruggono."



"I fondamentalisti islamici sono dei pazzi fanatici. Fatemelo dire adesso: sono convinto che siano dominati da forze sataniche!"

Maometto nella Bibbia?

Secondo i Musulmani, la Bibbia, libro sacro per Ebrei e Cristiani, e' piena di profezie su Maometto.
David Wood, in un eccellente articolo apparso su " Answering Infidels ", non la pensa allo stesso modo e spiega in maniera superlativa il perche'.

Dopo le vignette, un documentario fa arrabbiare i Musulmani

C'era da aspettarselo!

Non si finisce piu'. Liberta' di pensiero? D'espressione? Di scrivere quel che si vuole? Di leggere cio' che piu' ci aggrada?

La risposta e' sempre la stessa: "No!"

"No", solo quando si parla, si legge o si scrive dell'Islam!

Figuriamoci quando si gira un video segretamente dentro una moschea, con tanto di interviste e commenti a "uomini della religione di pace" e mandato in onda dalla televione ceca!

Apriti cielo!

E' successo, come per le vignette su Maometto, molti mesi fa, ma i Musulmani fanno finta d'essersene accorti proprio ora!

Si tratta di un documentario della Televisione Ceca (CTV) dal titolo "I, Muslim" (Io, Musulmano), mandato in onda dalla televione di Stato CT2 il 7 Ottobre scorso.

Il documentario e' stato girato da un reporter sotto pretesa di volersi convertire all'Islam. Conversazioni e riprese con membri della moschea di Cerny Most che vertono sull'Islam, l'Europa, il terrorismo e il ruolo delle donne nel mondo islamico.

Tra gli intervistati, un membro della moschea orgogliosamente paragona i terroristi islamici a Jan Palach, lo studente ceco che si suicido' nel 1968 per protestare contro l'invasione sovietica.

(Přednášející v pražské mešitě, který srovnává Jana Palacha
s teroristy nebo káže o trestu smrti za cizoložství)!


Un altro musulmano si augura che la legge coranica venga introdotta quanto prima nella Repubblica Ceca assieme alla pena di morte per adulterio.

Gli Ambasciatori delle nazioni arabe e membri della comunita' musulmana presso la Rep. Ceca hanno manifestato la loro rabbia ed offesa ad ogni livello.

Il mondo attende con ansia adesso che i prodotti cechi vengano banditi dai paesi musulmani e che le bandiere della Rep. Ceca vengano bruciate in piazza!

Gheddafi vuole la "mazzetta"!

Il dittatore libico, Gheddafi, vuole un gesto dall'Italia.

Tradotto dall'arabo in Italiano questo gesto si chiama "mazzetta". Proprio quella che chiedono i mafiosi minacciando la loro vittima.

Dalla Repubblica di oggi apprendo che il Boss (Rais in libico) "per chiudere definitivamente il capitolo del passato coloniale, si attende dall'Italia "un grande gesto". Un gesto che, evidentemente, dovrebbe consistere nel risarcimento dei danni "provocati dal colonialismo fascista". Una questione annosa che la Libia agita da tempo e sulla quale si è espresso nei giorni scorsi lo stesso Gheddafi quando attribuì a questo problema (più che alla maglietta di Calderoli) le violente contestazioni di Bengasi."

Ma se di gesti lui se ne attende uno dall'Italia, la comunita' internazionale se ne attende piu' di uno da Muhammar Gheddafi.

Piu' liberta' nel suo paese. Piu' lavoro per i Libici che sono ormai alla fame. Piu' diritti civili. Piu' rispetto per le donne. Rifiuto assoluto del terrorismo.

Di questi gesti l'Europa, gli USA, la comunita' internazionale sono in attesa da anni.

Invece il colonnello Gheddafi manda il suo inviato speciale, Saad Mojbar, in Iran ad incontrare il presidente iraniano Ahmadinejad e parlare "della necessita' di stare uniti e della cooperazione dei due paesi islamici."

Ahmadinejad ha ribadito che e' "fervente desiderio dell'Iran di rafforzare i legami d'amicizia con la Libia."

Mojbar ha risposto che "la Libia aiutera' l'Iran vigorosamente e con tutta la sua potenza."
Relativamente a quella parte del mondo arabo, occorre aggiungere, purtroppo con cadenza quasi giornaliera, che le notizie che da li' provengono non sono tra le piu' rassicuranti.

I discorsi politici tra dittatori in genere equivalgono ai discorsi dei pazzi. E' storicamente provato che il 99% dei dittatori soffre o ha sofferto di psicopatie.

Per cui quello che si possono dire Gheddafi ed Ahmadinejad (e tanti altri come loro) sarebbe materia di psichiatria pura se non interessasse direttamente paesi che vengono minacciati di morte con armi nucleari e/o con scimitarra!

Ma il discorso diventa inverosimile quando, una volta ancora, si ascoltano voci che esaltano il martirio o l'imposizione forzata di una religione sull'altra provenire dai cosiddetti "uomini di pace" islamici.

Purtroppo, il dittatore iraniano si e' scoperto "inviato di Allah"! Proprio cosi'! Ed e' questo che deve far paura! Perche' costui si ritiene adesso come il responsabile dell'avvento del 12mo Imam, l'ultimo, e cio' potra' essere conseguito solo attraverso "Armageddon", l'ultima guerra, la piu' distruttiva (Armageddon e' anche il sottotitolo di questo blog!).

Durante la sua recentissima visita in Indonesia, Ahmadinejad si e' detto molto fiducioso, anzi certo, che nei prossimi anni il mondo, volente o nolente, abbraccera' l'Islam!
(Islam will soon be the domineering force in the world, placing first in the number of its followers among all other religions. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad expressed this confidence here at the end of his state visit to Malaysia.
Following a meeting with Sultan Jamalullail I, the supreme head of the federation of nine states where Islam was proclaimed the state religion, he pontificated: “The world will be in the hands of Islam over the next few years.”)


E per finire...una perla, che si riallaccia a quanto ho scritto prima riguardo alla psichiatria pura: l'ex-Cancelliere tedesco, Helmut Kohl, durante un meeting con imprenditori iraniani in Germania, si e' detto convinto che l'Olocausto non sia esistito, ma sia solo un mito, un'invenzione. Arrogandosi il diritto di parlare a nome dei Tedeschi, Herr Kohl ha affermato: "Quello che Ahmadinejad ha detto a proposito dell'Olocausto noi Tedeschi lo abbiamo sempre pensato. Per anni abbiamo avuto il desiderio di dirlo, ma non ne abbiamo avuto il coraggio." !link

Che vergogna!

La violenza contro le donne in Libia? E' finita con l'arrivo di Gheddafi nel 1969!

Secondo fonti ufficiali libiche, la violenza contro le donne in Libia e' finita con la Rivoluzione del 1 Settembre 1969, quando Gheddafi libero' il paese da re Idris Al-Sanusi.

Pero', secondo Human Rights Watch, vi sono gravi discrepanze tra quello che fonti governative della Jamahiriya affermano e quanto viene invece riportato direttamente o indirettamente ( Human Rights Watch interview with a senior judicial official [name withheld], Tripoli, May 2, 2005) agli ufficiali giudizari.

Il Segretario alla Sicurezza Pubblica, Nasr al-Mabrouk, afferma che in Libia "e' assolutamente proibito usare violenza alle donne..."

La pensano in modo diverso, pero', gli alti ufficiali della Polizia libica. Il Brigadiere Mohammed Ibrahim al-Asaybi afferma: "Disciplinare una donna e' un mio diritto. Ma quel diritto ha i suoi limiti...sconosciuti ai piu', ma ha dei limiti."

In Libia, il 99% delle denunce presentate da donne, vittime di violenza, viene, in un modo o in un altro, ritirato!

Secondo l'articolo 375 del codice penale libico se un uomo ammazza la moglie, la madre, la figlia o la sorella per sospetta relazione extra-coniugale, beneficia della riduzione della pena.

Per finire ecco le parole di un magistrato libico riportate da HRW:
"Society looks at that woman [a rape victim] as if she made a mistake. The woman pays the price for this. She gets an exit visa from society."— Libyan attorney [name withheld], Tripoli, May 4, 2005


Ecco l'articolo apparso su HRW Reports (link alla pagina)

Gli Ayatollah: "Ok l'uso di armi nucleari!"

Gli USA sono pronti a lanciare un attacco militare contro il regime di Teheran.

Ormai e' tutto pronto. I contatti diplomatici sono stati messi a puntino.
Gli unici due Stati che avrebbero potuto ritardare l'attacco, il Pakistan e la Turchia, sono stati visitati, rassicurati e "beneficiati" dai piu' alti echelons americani.

I generali del Comando Centrale e quelli del Comando Strategico USA hanno individuato targets, modalita' d'attacco e logisticamente tutto e' pronto. Hanno gia' informato Ronald Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defence, che "everything is ready", dovesse fallire lo sforzo diplomatico teso a riportare l'Iran alla "saggezza".

Saggezza che sembra essersi volatilizzata da quel Paese dalle nobili origini storiche.
Se accanto ad un leader come Ahmadinejad, che ha perso "la testa" perseguendo sogni di gloria che ne' lui, ne' il suo popolo possono permettersi, dicevo, se accanto a politici come lui ci si mettono anche gli Ayatollah, gli imam, gli uomini che dovrebbero "parlar di pace", allora capirete bene che per l'Iran non vi e' speranza di guarigione.

La diagnosi e' quella. Purtroppo la terapia non puo' che essere d'urto.

E' solo di pochi giorni fa la notizia secondo la quale i leader spirituali iraniani hanno promulgato una fatwa senza precedenti che sanziona l'uso di armi nucleari contro il nemico.

L'annuncio e' particolarmente importante perche' viene nientedimeno che da Mohsen Gharavian, discepolo dell'Ayatollah ultra-conservatore Mohammed Taghi Mesbah-Yazdi, riconosciuto universalmente come l'Ayatollah piu' influente e piu' vicino al presidente Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

Politicamente, "religiosamente" e militarmente gli Iraniani sono pronti a sfidare tutto e tutti. Resta solo da porsi un'ultima domanda: "Lo siamo noi?"

Human Rights Watch sulla riabilitazione delle donne libiche

Donne e ragazze Libiche, accusate di aver macchiato l'onore delle loro famiglie, vengono tenute in istituti di riabilitazione sociale che non sono altro che prigioni!

E' quanto ci dice l'autorevole Human Rights Watch di New York.

Alcune di queste giovani, detenute contro la loro volonta' e senza alcuna rappresentazione o supporto legale, finiscono in queste "prigioni" con l'accusa di essere state violentate (sic!)!

E quando in Libia una donna e' vittima di violenza sessuale subisce l'ostracismo della famiglia e della comunita'!

E' quanto e' successo ad una detenuta intervistata da HRW.
Lei stessa si e' presentata all'istituto dopo essere stata violentata per strada. Fosse ritornata a casa, suo fratello l'avrebbe uccisa!

In Iran le donne non possono andare allo stadio!

Volevano solo andare allo stadio a vedere una partita di calcio. E che partita! Iran contro Costa Rica!
Non e' che di incontri internazionali di grande appeal se ne giochino molti a Teheran, ma questo, contro il Costa Rica, era senz'altro un incontro di cartello.
Si sono presentate con ore di anticipo allo stadio Azadi, munite del loro prezioso biglietto d'entrata.
La loro gioia e trepidazione per l'evento atteso da settimane si e' purtroppo trasformata in dramma appena presentatesi ai cancelli.

La polizia le ha circondate e bastonate. Le hanno quindi costrette ad allontanarsi.

Ma, si sa, le donne non si danno per vinte facilmente ed allora hanno preteso di parlare col capo della polizia.
A questo punto, dopo breve attesa, si presenta loro il rappresentante del Governatore di Teheran, il quale, vista l'insistenza delle tifose, promette loro di farle entrare da un cancello "privato".

Finalmente felici, le giovani supporters sono quindi salite su un autobus messo a loro disposizione dalle autorita' che avrebbe dovuto condurle allo stadio attraverso l'entrata riservata ai VIP.

"Avrebbe dovuto...", perche' l'autobus le ha portate al centro della citta', fermandosi in Piazza della Rivoluzione, dove sono state costrette a scendere e ad abbandonare il sogno di fare il tifo per la propria Nazionale!

Ci informano che l'Iran ha poi vinto col Costa Rica! Ma chi se ne frega!
