Dhimmi Dummy of the Day Award: Insulting, demeaning, cold hearted bastard

Designing a Flight 93 memorial to IslamoNazi Terrorism and Murder.

Left-wing design professionals on the jury, Tom Sokolowski (then director of Pittsburg's Andy Warhol Museum) thought that objecting to the crescent shape , just because it happens to be used by Muslims, was anti-Muslim bigotry.

In a rude attempt to shut down criticism, Sokolowski actually called Mr. Burnett "asinine" for objecting to the huge Islamic-shaped Crescent. (Sokolowski would later repeat this performance to the press, calling a local preacher "asinine," "small minded," "bigoted," "repellant," and "disgusting" for protesting the Crescent design.)

For more information on this jackass see my previous post "I don't want to honor these people, they MURDERED my daughter"

Flight 93 design juror objects to honoring Muslims who murdered her daughter

"I don't want to honor those people. They MURDERED my daughter."

It's Just a Distraction

As the dhimmi in chief is so fond of saying when commenting on American/Taxpaying citizens opposing where our money is spent: "It's just a distraction." Taxpayer funded abortion is one issue the Big Zero calls a distraction.

The issue I am talking about here is the "release" of the two "hikers" held for two years in Iran.

We are being distracted so as not to pay attention to the real issue of the Hilter from Iran being allowed entry into this country to speak at the United Islamic Nations. Clearly the U.S. government could have denied him entry, but noooooooooo, instead the useful idiots in the media totally ignore this travesty and threat to us and our ally, Israel. This little Hilter has been screaming for a long time that he will wipe Israel off the face of the earth and is clearly our enemy along with much of the UN. And did little Hitler extort one million dollars for the "realease"? What deal was made for their release? How about some real news folks???

Our security and place in the world has just taken a nose dive, AGAIN!

FOOLS! Suicidal fools.

Friends and supporters of Obama, Palestinians supported by the Obama administration.

LONG LIVE THE QURAN! After reading this you will be able to answer the following questions - REPOST

The below information is a repost from my French friend via The Four Freedoms. Thank you.


1. ISLAM, QURAN, HADITHS AND SUNNA
Islam is a religious, political and judicial system initiated in the VIIth century by
Muhammad, who claims to be the last prophet, and therefore THE prophet to whom
Allah transmitted his precepts through the angel Gabriel. These precepts are compiled
in the Quran. The Quran, fixed, unchangeable, that cannot be interpreted, comprises
of 114 chapters called suras, and each sura is composed of phrases called verses. The
suras and verses have been numbered in a standard way since 1923. For instance, [4:34] means verse 34 in sura 4. It should be noted that Muhammad heard the words of the angel Gabriel during mystical episodes! “Witnesses say that he (Muhammad) had seizures during which he drooled and roared like a young camel” (Mizanu’l Haqq, p. 345 can be checked at http://answeringIslam.org/Books/Pfander/Balance/p344.htm). In addition to their
holy book, muslims also hold Muhammad as an example, drawing inspiration from
his words and deeds, recounted between the VIIIth and Xth centuries by the traditionists including Bukhari, Muslim, Daoud and others, in the hadiths (the sayings), which compose the Sunna (tradition). Our purpose is to prove, based on the hadiths and a Quran widely accepted by English-speaking-muslims, the Abdullah Yusuf Ali's quran,that islam was violent from its origin, that it is inegalitarian and discriminatory towards women, non muslims, homosexuals, etc., and that in fact, islam rejects and fights everything outside itself. In fact, when we look for a “reference” Quran, we are always offered a trio : Abdullah Yusuf Ali, Marmaduke Mohammad Pickthall, a British convert, and M. H. Shakir. But there is a controversy about Shakir, so we will only consider the two others you can read on this site http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/. Clicking a verse displays all three translations simultaneously. It’s an ideology that exploits religion with the aim to subdue all the world’s non-muslims, either through persuasion or by the sword. Indeed, in Arabic, islam means submission, and muslim means submissive. Obviously, muslims don’t share this analysis, hence this document that aims to counter them using their own Quran, thus demonstrating that islam is incompatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article 3 : right to life, article 4 :
prohibition of slavery, article 18 : right to change one's religion. To verify these allegations go to http://www.lexilogos.com/declaration/index.htm), which forms part of the constitutions of occidental countries.

2. TACTICS AND DIALECTICS (GENERAL OVERVIEW) AGAINST ISLAM
a) A fundamental point. Never be baffled if a muslim lies, actively or by omission,
or conceals or falsifies, because this is prescribed by the Quran. Anything goes when
the goal is to spread islam. Taqya (dissimulation) is a duty for believers in an inferiority (= minority) situation. By contrast, as soon as the balance of power has shifted, the muslim can consider aggression :
[Quran 47:35 ] Be not weary and faint-hearted, crying for peace, when ye should be
uppermost: for Allah is with you, and will never put you in loss for your (good)
deeds.
b) When confronting a muslim who suggests that islam is a religion of tolerance,
peace and love, by quoting a few violent, misogynist, anti-christian or anti-jewish
suras, when he runs out of arguments he will eventually say that “in order to understand the Quran, one has to read it in Arabic”. The answer is simple: if that was the case, then an English-speaking convert, unless he read Arabic, which has to be extremely rare, would be a person who converts to a religion while being unable to grasp a single word from its holy book! This is not tenable, therefore the muslim has to implicitly admit that some translations into English that are acceptable to a
Mahometan do exist, if only the one from Abdullah Yusuf Ali, which can be checked
at http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran. All that is left then is to contradict him using the suras from “his” Quran.
c) It is also necessary to refute the recurring argument, used by muslims who, in
many cases, have not read the Quran, as well as by English ignoramuses who don’t
know anything about islamology, that islam is a religion like any other, and that muslims therefore have the same rights as the followers of other religions. This assertion must be countered by stating that the Quran features numerous verses that incite murder (see paragraph 4 for examples), or by reading the hadiths where the messenger of Allah, Muhammad himself, instigates numerous murders. Islam cannot, therefore,be considered as being like any other religion.
d) With regards to the long list of quranic verses that clearly call for the murder of unbelievers, muslims always claim that they were only reacting, defending themselves against attacks from “nasty” polytheists. One can already recognize, back in those times, the muslims’ “victim posturing”. So we should believe that the
arab/muslim people conquered immense territories, in the name of Allah, only by
defending themselves, because other peoples were attacking them. It’s enough to
read the letters the warlord Muhammad sent to various leaders or kings, to “invite”
them to embrace islam, to become convinced of his arrogance and aggressivity: to
the Arab tribal leaders, the kings of Byzantium, of Persia, of Abyssinia, etc. Here is the “invitation” letter to the people of Oman: “Peace be upon him who follows the
straight path! I call you to islam. Accept my call, and you will be safe. I am the
messenger from Allah sent to humanity, and the annoucement will be made to the
unbelievers. If, then, you identify with islam, I shall grant power upon you. But if
you refuse to accept islam, your power shall disappear, my horses will camp out on
the extent of your territory and we shall reign in your kingdom. Signed:
“Muhammad, messenger of Allah”.
e) It should also be noted that while 2 verses may contradict each other, Allah, all
knowing and infallible as he is, has planned for everything. For such cases, he has
developed the doctrine of abrogator verses (nasikh) and abrogated verses (mansukh),
which states that the most recent verse cancels the oldest one, and therefore that a
Medina, or post-Hegira verse, can, in case of a contradiction, cancel a Mecca or pre-
Hegira verse. The Hegira is the period when Muhammad was chased from Mecca
and took refuge in Medina. To demonstrate the aforementioned, one can quote the
two verses:
[Quran 2:106] None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but
We substitute something better or similar: Knowest thou not that Allah Hath power
over all things?
[Quran 16:101] When We substitute one revelation for another,- and Allah knows best what He reveals (in stages),- they say, "Thou art but a forger": but most of them understand not.
To know if a verse is pre-Hegira or post-Hegira go to http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran.
Every sura is indicated as revealed at Mecca or Medina.
Therefore, do not be baffled when a follower of Allah quotes a tolerant verse,
because it is probably abrogated and rendered obsolete by a Medina verse.
Otherwise you could always counter it with numerous violent verses. If islam was
peaceful there would not be a single violent verse un the Quran… yet it contains
dozens of instances of words such as “kill”, “fight” or “slay”.
f) When the apologists of islam struggle to conceal the warlike and intolerant nature
of the Quran, they often try to “dilute” reality, pretending that islam is open to numerous “interpretations”. The violence of islamic societies and muslim terrorists would stem from a “mistaken interpretation”. By saying this, they conceal the fact that the Quran itself, (seconded by some hadiths), condemns interpretation (it should be noted that many Western politicians also take part in this pathetic farce).
[Quran 3 :7] He it is Who has sent down to thee the Book: In it are verses basic or
fundamental (of established meaning); they are the foundation of the Book: others
are allegorical. But those in whose hearts is perversity follow the part thereof that is allegorical, seeking discord, and searching for its hidden meanings, but no one knows its hidden meanings except Allah. And those who are firmly grounded in
knowledge say: "We believe in the Book; the whole of it is from our Lord:" and none
will grasp the Message except men of understanding.

3. CHOOSING A QURAN
We have already highlighted the benefit, to us, of choosing an English language Quran
approved by muslims themselves. It is, therefore, the Abdullah Yusuf Ali 's Quran, to the exclusion of any other, that will serve as a reference from here on. Important notice about the Quran: the Quran (“recitation” in Arabic) is not so much a text as it is the Arabic recitation of that text. For non Arabic-speakers, it is therefore a long succession of sounds, learned by rote in “quranic schools” (madrassa, where muslims are taught to hate the West). It therefore is a genuine example of brainwashing, that a muslim is often subjected to from as young as the age of 4!

4. ANGLES OF ATTACK AGAINST ISLAM
In the following text, when the words “the” (plural) or “they” are not qualified they
are used to designate all those who are not submissive to Allah: Jews, Christians,
heretics, infidels, associators, polytheists and unbelievers.
a) Calls for murder in the Quran
[Quran 2:191] And slay them wherever ye catch them, and turn them out from
where they have Turned you out; for tumult and oppression are slaughter; but fight
them not at the Sacred Mosque, unless they (first) fight you there; but if they fight
you, slay them. Such is the reward of those who suppress faith.
[Quran 4:89] They but wish that ye should reject Faith, as they do, and thus be on
the same footing (as they): But take not friends from their ranks until they flee in
the way of Allah (From what is forbidden). But if they turn renegades, seize them
and slay them wherever ye find them; and (in any case) take no friends or helpers
from their ranks.
[Quran 5:33] The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His
Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution,
or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides,
or exile from the land : that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment
is theirs in the Hereafter.
[Quran 8:12] Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am
with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instil terror into the hearts of the
Unbelievers. Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them.
[Quran 8:17] It is not ye who slew them; it was Allah: when thou threwest (a
handful of dust), it was not thy act, but Allah's: in order that He might test the
Believers by a gracious trial from Himself: for Allah is He Who heareth and knoweth
(all things). In other words it's a pre-emptive absolution for a murderer of an
infidel in the name of Allah.
[Quran 9:5] But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the
Pagans wherever ye find them, an seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for
them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers
and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving,
Most Merciful.
[Quran 17:33] Nor take life - which Allah has made sacred - except for just cause.
And if anyone is slain wrongfully, we have given his heir authority (to demand
qisas or to forgive): but let him not exceed bounds in the matter of taking life; for
he is helped (by the Law). Therefore, according to the Quran, there are perfectly
valid, legally sound reasons to kill.
[Quran 33:61] They shall have a curse on them: whenever they are found, they
shall be seized and slain (without mercy).
[Quran 47:4] Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their
necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on
them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays
down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He
could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you
fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of
Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.
b) Hate against the Jews, Christians and Infidels
[Quran 5:51] O ye who believe! take not the Jews and the Christians for your
friends and protectors :They are but friends and protectors to each other. And he
amongst you that turns to them (for friendship) is of them. Verily Allah guideth not
a people unjust.
[Quran 9:30] The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the
son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the
unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them : how they are deluded
away from the Truth!
[Quran 5:14] From those, too, who call themselves Christians, We did take a covenant,
but they forgot a good part of the message that was sent them: so we estranged
them, with enmity and hatred between the one and the other, to the day of
judgment. And soon will Allah show them what it is they have done.

Among the hadiths, one can easily find a collection of anti-jewish and anti-christian
statements, sometimes extremely violent, such as :
The Prophet said, "A group of Israelites were lost. Nobody knows what they did.
But I do not see them except that they were cursed and changed into rats"
(Narrated Abu Huraira, Muslim XLII 7135 et Bukhari LIV 524).
c) Three fundamental inequalities in islam
The muslim is superior to the non-muslim
[Quran 3:110] Ye are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is
right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the
Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but
most of them are perverted transgressors.
Men are superior to women
[Quran 4:34] Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because Allah
has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them
from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and
guard in (the husband's) absence what Allah would have them guard. As to those
women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first),
(Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return
to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For Allah is Most
High, great (above you all). In the [Quran 4:34] there is no arabic word for
"lightly" it's a personal add from the author Yusuf Ali and an example of taqya.
The master is superior to the slave
Islam has not yet abolished slavery, which is still practised in Saudi Arabia and Sudan, where the black slave trade is still current, as per the heart wrenching testimony of a black christian Sudanese man, Simon Deng, reduced to slavery by the Arabic islamist regime in Khartoum : (http://www.iheu.org/node/1539). If islam has not abolished slavery (can it?), it’s quite simply because its goal is to establish a world califate where non-muslims would have to choose between conversion, death or, at best,dhimmitude (http://www.dhimmitude.org/archive/by_lecture_10oct2002.htm).
d) Death penalty for whoever leaves islam Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody
(a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' (Narrated Ikrima, Bukhari LII 260).
Do you know many religions that call for the death of whoever wants to leave them?

5. MUHAMMAD, THE « BEAUTIFUL MODEL »We cannot conclude without mentioning this odd “prophet” for an odd “religion”. A few personality traits of the man every good muslim is supposed to emulate, found in the hadiths or Quran
Muhammad was a torturer When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) cut off (the hands and feet of)those who had stolen his camels and he had their eyes put out by fire (heated nails),Allah reprimanded him on that (action), and Allah, the Exalted, revealed: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is execution or crucifixion. (Narrated Abu Zinad, Dawud XXXVIII 4357).
Muhammad was a murderer Jabir b. 'Abdullah reported that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) stoned (to death) a
person from Banu Aslam, and a Jew and his wife.(Narrated Jabir Abdullah, Muslim XVII 4216).
Muhammad was a pedophile
Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed there for
two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age,
and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.
(Narrated
Hisham's father, Bukhari LVIII 236).
Muhammad was a looter
Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to lead a Ghazwa, he would use an equivocation
from which one would understand that he was going to a different destination.
(Narrated Ka’b ibn Malik, Bukhari LII 197). In arabic "ghazwa" means looting :
[Quran 8:1] They ask thee concerning (things taken as) spoils of war. Say: "(such)
spoils are at the disposal of Allah and the Messenger: So fear Allah, and keep straight the relations between yourselves: Obey Allah and His Messenger, if ye do believe." Thus has islam been for fourteen centuries! It’s an ideology that exploits a religion and aims to submit humanity in the same way as naziism or communism did. Islam was violent from its origin, it is inegalitarian and discriminatory towards women, non muslims, homosexuals, etc., and in fact, islam rejects and fights everything outside itself. Islam is therefore incompatible with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (article
3 : right to life, article 4 : prohibition of slavery, article 18 : right to change one's religion.
To verify these allegations go to http://www.lexilogos.com/declaration/index.htm),
which forms part of the constitutions of occidental countries. Hadiths (in English)
can be found at: http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/searchhadith.html, the
website of the Muslim Students Association of South Carolina University (MSAUSC).

fighting anti-Islam group SITA

A page to explain the SITA-concept which is a way to fight islam and islamization in western countries by acting

In French SITA means Sensibilisation à l'Islam Tous Azimuts, it could be translated into Stop Islamization and Terrorist Actions.

To all friends fighting Islam (its texts) but not Muslims = main victims of Islam.
The Islamization of Western countries is carried out in several ways and the building of mosques is an essential component as it is the place where children are indoctrinated to hate Western values and become future jihadists. An important detail, no mosque is without a Madrassa, a term which is misleading for Westerners. Koranic schools or schools for learning Arabic or tutoring school use only one teaching book, the Koran! Imagine the outcry if we learned English-language only from the Bible.
Our country, France is the country of Europe with the most immigrants from Muslim culture. They are not all muslims as the Islamo-leftists and the government would have us believe. They say there are 6 million Muslims in France which is a brazen lie. In reality, there are 6 million people of North African origin. This lie bears the subliminal message: "see how many Muslims there are. We are therefore obliged to meet their legitimate religious requests: to build mosques, to reserve hours at the pool for Muslims, to serve halal meat in canteens" Actually only 10 to 15% practice and go to the mosque regularly as is the case for Christians and Jews, I think.
In the forefront on Islamization, we are also ahead in the fight against the building of mosques and the only effective method that we have found and that we use is inspired by Amnesty International, and is the mailed information with an envelope and a stamp http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cf1qrJofX58. It stems from the snowflake phenomenon: one snowflake on a roof, two flakes, three flakes nothing happens but a few billion flakes and roof collapses.

Action SITA is what?
An action SITA is a postal information service directed toward future residents where mosques are due to be constructed which incite citizens' groups, political parties or associations defending secularism such as to initiate proceedings before administrative tribunals to cancel municipal decisions that do not respect the law like in France the law of 1905 and this has met with much success in France.

SITA's methods are varied and can be directed against mosques, the entry of Turkey into the EU, the clergy of the Catholic Church which is in large part islamophile.

You have an envelope, a stamp thererfore you've got the POWER.......................
.........................................................to say any public person YOUR OPINION.
So, don't hesitate......................get involved with SITA-actions inspired by Amnesty International.

Swiss Member of Parliament Has Had Enough!

Excellent speech by Swiss member of Parliament Oskar Freysinger said with passion and truth that no politician in Washington is yet ready to speak from the floor of Congress. In order for us to beat back the Islamists we need some key leaders in Washington to make a similar speech and lead the nation against the Islamist threat head on.

This is a repost from Walid Shoebat's website.

A Scottish professor responds to campus boycott

The Edinburgh Student's Association made a motion to boycott all things Israeli since they claim Israel is under an apartheid regime. Dr. Denis Maceoin (a non-Jew) is an expert in Middle Eastern affairs. Here is his letter to those students.

AN EDUCATED NON-JEWISH TAKE ON ISRAEL.


Dr. Denis MacEoin, a senior editor of the Middle East Quarterly, addresses The Committee of the Edinburgh University Student Association.







TO: The Committee Edinburgh University Student Association.
May I be permitted to say a few words to members of the EUSA? I am an Edinburgh graduate (MA 1975) who studied Persian, Arabic and Islamic History in Buccleuch Place under William Montgomery Watt and Laurence Elwell Sutton, two of Britain's great Middle East experts in their day.
I later went on to do a PhD at Cambridge and to teach Arabic and Islamic Studies at Newcastle University. Naturally, I am the author of several books and hundreds of articles in this field. I say all that to show that I am well informed in Middle Eastern affairs and that, for that reason, I am shocked and disheartened by the EUSA motion and vote.

I am shocked for a simple reason: there is not and has never been a system of apartheid in Israel. That is not my opinion, that is fact that can be tested against reality by any Edinburgh student, should he or she choose to visit Israel to see for themselves. Let me spell this out, since I have the impression that those members of EUSA who voted for this motion are absolutely clueless in matters concerning Israel, and that they are, in all likelihood, the victims of extremely biased propaganda coming from the anti-Israel lobby.

Being anti-Israel is not in itself objectionable. But I'm not talking about ordinary criticism of Israel. I'm speaking of a hatred that permits itself no boundaries in the lies and myths it pours out. Thus, Israel is repeatedly referred to as a "Nazi" state. In what sense is this true, even as a metaphor? Where are the Israeli concentration camps? The einzatsgruppen? The SS? The Nuremberg Laws? The Final Solution? None of these things nor anything remotely resembling them exists in Israel, precisely because the Jews, more than anyone on earth, understand what Nazism stood for.

It is claimed that there has been an Israeli Holocaust in Gaza (or elsewhere). Where? When? No honest historian would treat that claim with anything but the contempt it deserves. But calling Jews Nazis and saying they have committed a Holocaust is as basic a way to subvert historical fact as anything I can think of.


Likewise apartheid. For apartheid to exist, there would have to be a situation that closely resembled how things were in South Africa under the apartheid regime. Unfortunately for those who believe this, a weekend in any part of Israel would be enough to show how ridiculous the claim is. That a body of university students actually fell for this and voted on it is a sad comment on the state of modern education.

The most obvious focus for apartheid would be the country's 20% Arab population. Under Israeli law, Arab Israelis have exactly the same rights as Jews or anyone else; Muslims have the same rights as Jews or Christians; Baha'is, severely persecuted in Iran, flourish in Israel, where they have their world center; Ahmadi Muslims, severely persecuted in Pakistan and elsewhere, are kept safe by Israel; the holy places of all religions are protected under a specific Israeli law. Arabs form 20% of the university population (an exact echo of their percentage in the general population).


In Iran, the Bahai's (the largest religious minority) are forbidden to study in any university or to run their own universities: why aren't your members boycotting Iran? Arabs in Israel can go anywhere they want, unlike blacks in apartheid South Africa. They use public transport, they eat in restaurants, they go to swimming pools, they use libraries, they go to cinemas alongside Jews - something no blacks were able to do in South Africa.

Israeli hospitals not only treat Jews and Arabs, they also treat Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank. On the same wards, in the same operating theatres.

In Israel, women have the same rights as men: there is no gender apartheid. Gay men and women face no restrictions, and Palestinian gays often escape into Israel, knowing they may be killed at home.


It seems bizarre to me that LGBT groups call for a boycott of Israel and say nothing about countries like Iran, where gay men are hanged or stoned to death. That illustrates a mindset that beggars belief.

Intelligent students thinking it's better to be silent about regimes that kill gay people, but good to condemn the only country in the Middle East that rescues and protects gay people. Is that supposed to be a sick joke?

University is supposed to be about learning to use your brain, to think rationally, to examine evidence, to reach conclusions based on solid evidence, to compare sources, to weigh up one view against one or more others. If the best Edinburgh can now produce are students who have no idea how to do any of these things, then the future is bleak.

I do not object to well-documented criticism of Israel. I do object when supposedly intelligent people single the Jewish state out above states that are horrific in their treatment of their populations. We are going through the biggest upheaval in the Middle East since the 7th and 8th centuries, and it's clear that Arabs and Iranians are rebelling against terrifying regimes that fight back by killing their own citizens.

Israeli citizens, Jews and Arabs alike, do not rebel (though they are free to protest). Yet Edinburgh students mount no demonstrations and call for no boycotts against Libya, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Iran. They prefer to make false accusations against one of the world's freest countries, the only country in the Middle East that has taken in Darfur refugees, the only country in the Middle East that gives refuge to gay men and women, the only country in the Middle East that protects the Bahai's.... Need I go on?


The imbalance is perceptible, and it sheds no credit on anyone who voted for this boycott. I ask you to show some common sense. Get information from the Israeli embassy. Ask for some speakers. Listen to more than one side. Do not make your minds up until you have given a fair hearing to both parties. You have a duty to your students, and that is to protect them from one-sided argument.

They are not at university to be propagandized. And they are certainly not there to be tricked into anti-Semitism by punishing one country among all the countries of the world, which happens to be the only Jewish state. If there had been a single Jewish state in the 1930's (which, sadly, there was not), don't you think Adolf Hitler would have decided to boycott it?


Your generation has a duty to ensure that the perennial racism of anti-Semitism never sets down roots among you. Today, however, there are clear signs that it has done so and is putting down more. You have a chance to avert a very great evil, simply by using reason and a sense of fair play. Please tell me that this makes sense. I have given you some of the evidence. It's up to you to find out more.


Yours sincerely,

If the Media promotes Rick Perry

If the media promotes Rick Perry for GOP Presidential Candidate, that's a good enough reason for me NOT to VOTE for him!!!!!!

AND I would like to remind folks that the Democraps and GOP are not the only political parties.

Just say "NO" to sob fest 9/11

It sickens me to see and hear the "sob fest" that rememberence of 9/11 has become. Come on people! Lay off of the viagra and prosaic and get angry at the people and ideology that not only caused 9/11, but who also work feverishly to do even worse to us!
