At least they’re being honest:

One of the radical groups operating on the Temple Mount is Hizab Altahrir (The Islamic Liberation Party), which espouses an ideology similar to Al Qaeda. Hizab Altahrir’s network spans most Western European countries.

A senior party activist in Jerusalem, Sheikh Issam Amira, expressed this philosophy in a recent speech which he made on the Temple Mount:

“Listeners! The Moslems in Denmark make up three percent [of the population], yet constitute a threat to the future of the Danish kingdom. It’s no surprise that in Bitrab (the ancient name of Medina, a city in Arabia to which Mohammed immigrated) they were fewer than three percent of the general population, but succeeded changing the regime in Bitrab.

“It’s no surprise that our brothers in Denmark have succeeded in bringing Islam to every home in that country. Allah will grant us victory in their land to establish the [Islamic] revolution in Denmark.”

Sheikh Riyad Salah, head of the Islamic movement in Israel has also been active teaching the tenets of “Islamic revolution.”

“We are at the gates of the Islamic revolution,” he proclaims in his sermons to Arab citizens of Israel. “The global forces of evil will be eliminated from the world and the Islamic nation will remain in place in order to bring about the world Islamic revolution, with its capital, Jerusalem.”

What’s the timeframe for all this? Pretty soon:

The youth were greeted by party members who shouted, “Next year in Jerusalem, under the rule of the Islamic revolution.”

Please explain to me why these animals deserve a state.

Jack Kelly over at Irish Pennants nails it:

CNN’s Carol Linn is an idiotShe described the two Muslim teenagers whose accidental electrocution Oct. 27th ignited the rioting in France as “African-Americans.”

“It’s been 11 days since two African-American teenagers were killed, electrocuted during a police chase, which prompted all of this.”–CNN anchorman Carol Lin, Nov. 6

Note to CNN: Words mean things. Write that down.

Risawn has a brilliant idea for a t-shirt, sure to offend those who would impose Sharia on Western democracies:

Crusader pig!

Hopefully, she could print up stickers with scratch-and-sniff bacon flavoring. Mmm…

Sharif don’t like it:

Death threats to the Egyptian-born actor Omar Sharif have appeared in Islamist forums on the Internet, after Sharif’s appearance as a Christian, Saint Peter, in an Italian biblical epic for television. A threatening message from user ‘bachirma1′ on one of the forums used by jihadi groups linked to al-Qaeda, reads:”In my view Omar Sharif is an infidel – enter here”. Inside it continues; “He is a crusader who offends Islam and Muslims and is applauded by the Italian people. I give you some advice, my brothers, you should kill him.”

I recommend that all appropriate Casbah-rocking action commence immediately.

It turns out that the new president of Iran is a complete wacko. Big shocker, huh?

“Anybody who recognizes Israel will burn in the fire of the Islamic nation’s fury, (while) any (Islamic leader) who recognizes the Zionist regime means he is acknowledging the surrender and defeat of the Islamic world,” Ahmadinejad said.

Ahmadinejad also repeated the words of the founder of Iran’s Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, who called for the destruction of Israel.

“As the imam said, Israel must be wiped off the map,” said Ahmadinejad, who came to power in August and replaced Mohammad Khatami, a reformist who advocated international dialogue and tried to improve Iran’s relations with the West.

Just in case you’re curious what form the “fire of the Islamic nation’s fury” will take, we’re treated to this:

Iran announced earlier this year that it had fully developed solid fuel technology for missiles, a major breakthrough that increases their accuracy.The Shahab-3, with a range of 810 miles to 1,200 miles, is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to Israel and U.S. forces in the Middle East.

Boy, it’s a good thing Mohamed El-Baradei is doing such a great job keeping nukes out of the hands of crazies.

Another dispatch from the brilliant Dhimmi Watch.* It seems some British banks are scrapping the piggy bank:

British banks are banning piggy banks because they may offend some Muslims.Halifax and NatWest banks have led the move to scrap the time-honoured symbol of saving from being given to children or used in their advertising, the Daily Express/Daily Star group reports here.

Muslims do not eat pork, as Islamic culture deems the pig to be an impure animal.

Salim Mulla, secretary of the Lancashire Council of Mosques, backed the bank move.

“This is a sensitive issue and I think the banks are simply being courteous to their customers,” he said.

This is freakin’ ridiculous. First of all, I doubt any pious Muslim would walk into one of these banks and have a fit because he’s given a piggy bank to take home to Junior. That’s because Islam has strict laws against paying or collecting interest. This is like a steakhouse banning leather shoes to avoid offending PETA.

*Dhimmi is an Arabic term meaning “protected people.” Under Islamic rule, Dhimmis are relegated to second-class citizenship. They’re free to practice their religion and culture, but only in private. The Koran mandates that people conquered by Islam must “pay the tax in acknowledgment of superiority and they are in a state of subjection.” (Surah 9:29)

It looks like the terrorists who attacked the Palestine Hotel today didn’t acheive all their objectives:

Iraq’s National Security Adviser, Mowaffaq al-Rubaie, said the bombings were designed to show that insurgents were still active after what he called a string of successes by Iraqi security forces during a constitutional referendum and last week’s start of Saddam’s trial for crimes against humanity. 

“The plan was to try to penetrate the defenses of the Palestine hotel by blowing up cars and firing rocket-propelled grenades and light arms to occupy the hotel and kidnap the journalists,” he said.

You’d think al-Qaeda would treat its supporters better than that.

Publicity stunt, Qaeda-style:

At least two enormous bombs, including a cement-mixing truck packed with explosives, blew up near an Iraqi police checkpoint outside the Palestine Hotel — home to many foreign journalists in Iraq. Iraqi police said 11 people were killed and 13 wounded. 

A second bomb exploded inside a car not far from the checkpoint on the northeast side of Firdous Square and more than 100 yards east of the hotel grounds. Both were believed to be suicide attacks.

It did not appear that anybody was killed inside the hotel. Three of the wounded were in the hotel but were not hurt seriously. Three others were at a U.S. military checkpoint at the northwest corner of the hotel compound.

Maybe this will piss off enough reporters that they’ll issue some honest reports about global jihad. And maybe I’ll be nominated to the Supreme Court.

Saudi Arabia is allowing movies to be shown. Sort of:

Some 20 years after public screenings of films were banned, the first cinema will open next month in ultraconservative Saudi Arabia, but showing only cartoons, a source from the firm handling the project said on Sunday.The cinema will open for women and children at a Riyadh hotel at the Eid Al Fitr feast at the end of the Muslim holy fasting month of Ramadan on November 2 or 3, said the source who requested anonymity.

I’m guessing the lineup will be heavy on Wile E. Coyote blowing stuff up, and light on Porky Pig.

Let’s take a spin around the Islamic world for a tour of its legal system.

From LGF:

In a new survey by a Turkish university, almost 40% said a woman who commits adultery deserves to be murdered.

More than 20% apparently thought the death penalty was too harsh, but cutting off noses or ears would be appropriate.

From The Scotsman:

Islamic militiamen stormed a video studio in Mogadishu where Bollywood films were being dubbed into Somali, destroying equipment and arresting employees.The gunmen, loyal to the Union of the Islamic Courts, smashed television monitors and escorted six members of staff from the studios in the Somali capital.

The courts consider watching films, listening to music and dancing un-Islamic.

From Dhimmi Watch:

Sharia Alert from Sudan, from the Sudan Tribune with thanks to Twostellas:

Oct 17, 2005 (KHARTOUM)— The Sudanese government has affirmed that it has reservations on some articles of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW), particularly those which contradict Islam.

The minister of justice, Mohamed Ali al-Maradi, said in a press statement following his meeting with the special rapporteur on human rights in Sudan, Ms Sima Samar, that Sudan would not accept any article that contradicts the Islamic religion.

He added that women rights are guaranteed in all legislation and the constitution which enable women to assume public work and posts on equal footing with men.

Other than the extrajudicial mob executions, brutal punishments, crushing of dissent, lack of political rights for men and all rights for women, persecution of ethnic and religious minorities, and state-enforced mandatory religious observance, Sharia sounds pretty sweet.

Boo-friggin-hoo:

Reports from Saudi Arabia say that King Fahd has died.The reports quote hospital officials and sources close to the royal family, and Saudi TV interrupted regular programmes with Koran readings.

With the death of its leader, I guess the House of Saud will have no choice but to embrace democratic reforms, tone down the Wahhabi rhetoric, stop funding Palestinian terrorists, and push the literacy rate above 80%.

Riiiiiiight.

As David Benzion is discussing right now, Steve Emerson of the Counterterrorism Blog doubts the sincerity of the CAIR-endorsed “fatwa” which supposedly condemns terrorism. It turns out the “fatwa’s” issuers have significant ties to global Islamic terrorism.

Emerson writes:

This morning a group of American Islamic leaders held a press conference to announce a fatwa, or Islamic religious ruling, against “terrorism and extremism.” An organization called the Fiqh Council of North America (FCNA) issued the fatwa, and the Council on American – Islamic Relations (CAIR) organized the press conference, stating that several major U.S. Muslim groups endorsed the fatwa.In fact, the fatwa is bogus. Nowhere does it condemn the Islamic extremism ideology that has spawned Islamic terrorism. It does not renounce nor even acknowledge the existence of an Islamic jihadist culture that has permeated mosques and young Muslims around the world. It does not renounce Jihad let alone admit that it has been used to justify Islamic terrorist acts. It does not condemn by name any Islamic group or leader. In short, it is a fake fatwa designed merely to deceive the American public into believing that these groups are moderate. In fact, officials of both organizations have been directly linked to and associated with Islamic terrorist groups and Islamic extremist organizations. One of them is an unindicted co-conspirator in a current terrorist case; another previous member was a financier to Al-Qaeda.

Read it all.
