So what, you ask?

Because reading this makes you a suspicious person.

Because in this internet age government can control every aspect of your life and can destroy you in a heartbeat with a few keystrokes if it wishes.

Because even the most innocuous and innocent activities can be taken out of context or viewed as suspicious and bring government down on you.

Because you’re no longer free to express yourself for fear of bringing yourself to government’s attention. Can criticizing government or speaking out against the government line bring government down on you? You bet it can. Will it? You bet it will.

Because you may think you have nothing to hide but government may think differently and ruin your life because it does.

Because your freedom of association is also taken away…if government doesn’t like who you’re associating with or views people you associate with as suspicious, even if they’re relatives or even if you know nothing about why government sees them as suspicious in the first place, that makes you suspicious as well.

Because government being government it won’t stop with spying on you and documenting everything about you, with keeping its eyes and ears on you twenty four hours a day three hundred and sixty five days a year for life. Taking away freedom of movement could very well be next and after that taking away other freedoms you take for granted as well. Will that happen if it gets away with this constant spying on you? Yes it will. Absolutely it will.

Because if government doesn’t like what you read or how you think or disapproves of your political activities or anything else about you it can intrude on your life and force you to act as it wants you to…because government can smear you and ruin you and throw you in jail if it doesn’t like you. You don’t think government will use the information it gathers about you against you, will use it to keep you in line? Think again. Of course it will.

Because that old canard about having nothing to fear if you’re innocent and have nothing to hide is simply untrue. Virtually anything can be misconstrued or seen as suspicious and innocent people get hurt all the time by government. In fact, the bigger the government program the more innocent people get hurt and mass spying is one of the biggest government programs there is.

Because there are much better ways to prevent terrorism and foil terrorists than trampling on our civil liberties and spying on us all twenty four hours a day three hundred and sixty five days a year for life. Israel has arguably been more successful than any other country in foiling terrorists and preventing terrorist attacks and it doesn’t spy on its population like that.

Because government spying on us all twenty four hours a day three hundred and sixty five days a year for life will lead to mass conformity and allow government to dictate every aspect of our lives according to its wishes.

Because government spying on us all twenty four hours a day three hundred and sixty five days a year for life will lead to millions of scapegoats, one of whom could be you. Or me. Or anyone.

Because malice and prejudice and ignorance will enter into it.

Because government spying on us all twenty four hours a day twenty four hours a day three hundred and sixty five days a year for life makes a mockery of everything the United States of America stands for and has always stood for and is about as anti-American as you can get.

Because being spied on by government twenty four hours a day three hundred and sixty five days a year for life means you’re no longer free and are at the mercy of government.

So what?

That’s what.

Now bring this obscenity to an end and save your freedom and your country.

While it is still possible.

For one thing rebel forces include al-Qaeda and other armed groups dedicated to the destruction of the United States. In fact, rebel forces may be made up primarily of groups dedicated to the destruction of the U.S., including al-Qaeda. They are America’s enemies, enemies who are at war with the United States, enemies who have made no secret of their hatred and disgust for all things American and of their desire to bring America down and turn the U.S. into an Islamic country governed by Islamic law. They are the same Islamists who were responsible for 9/11 and any number of other anti-American and anti-Western atrocities and arming them guarantees that the arms will eventually be used against America and the West. Talk about arming your enemy…that’s exactly what Obama would be doing by supplying arms to the rebels and that will result in American and Western deaths and is simply dumb.

For another, if the rebels succeed in toppling the Assad regime in Damascus and replace it with a government of their own making the resulting bloodbath will dwarf anything we have seen in Syria so far. That is because the war there is nothing more than an extension of the Sunni-Shia conflict that has riven Islam from its beginning. The war in Syria is not a civil war or a secular war, it is a religious war and if the rebels win with the assistance of American arms there will be ethnic and religious cleansing on an unimaginable scale, bloodshed and death on an unimaginable scale.

For another, Israel is America’s only true friend in the Middle East and is vital to the national security of the United States. If the rebels win and the Assad regime falls Israel’s national security will be compromised and jeopardized and so will the national security of the U.S. At the very least Israel will have to fight for her existence, America will be forced to fight alongside her, millions of lives will be lost and nuclear weapons may very well be used.

For another, anyone who thinks Obama will be able to stop with supplying arms to the rebels is dead wrong. Supplying American arms today will lead to American planes in the sky tomorrow and will lead to American boots on the ground the day after as sure as I am writing this and as sure as you are reading it.

For another, the rebels clearly do not have the support or trust of a majority of the Syrian population, whereas Assad does. That is why he is surviving and winning. Even with the support he is receiving from Russia and Iran he wouldn’t be doing either if he wasn’t backed by a majority of the general population…it simply wouldn’t be possible.

Ironic isn’t it? Russia and Iran helping Assad and acting in America’s best interests by keeping the rebels out of power, which is of course what Obama should be doing instead of supplying arms to them.

In fact, if Obama really wanted to act in America’s best interests (which should of course be his only consideration) he would do everything he could to keep Assad in power and the rebels out of it.

Obama supplying arms to the rebels.

Dumb.

And treasonous.

To quote from an earlier piece I wrote on this site…

Misogyny and maltreatment of women are fundamental precepts and defining characteristics of Islam. Under Islam women are treated as chattels, marginalized, dehumanized, objectified, mistreated, beaten, raped, disfigured, persecuted, dominated and killed as a matter of course. This is all perfectly legitimate and is sanctified by Allah’s revelations, the Koran, Muhammad’s behavior and Islamic law. It is endemic in Islamic societies now and has been since Islam first came into existence. Women have no legal rights under Islam at all, including the most basic ones of all, the right to life and the right to personal safety and security. Among other things, Islam teaches that a woman is worth less than a man, women are required to cover themselves, women are not allowed to be alone with a man who is not a relative, husbands are allowed to beat their wives, the testimony of a woman in court is worth half of a man’s, women cannot travel by themselves, adulterers are to be put to death, a woman must have four male witnesses to prove rape and her testimony is not accepted and on and on in the same vein. In Islam women are under the charge of men and completely subservient to them, be they husbands, fathers, sons, relatives or others.

Equality of the sexes? It doesn’t exist in Islam and never has.

All of this applies to women in general too, not just Muslim women or women who have converted or been forced to convert to Islam.

Which of course accounts for the rise in violence against women in Western countries with large and growing immigrant populations from Islamic countries, Britain, France, Germany, Australia, the Scandinavian countries, Canada and the United States among them. Islamists believe they can do anything they want to with women and often do because Islam tells them they can.

That about covers it.

Rejecting the UNHRC resolution was not surprising at all, not to anyone who knows what Islam is really all about and how it manifests itself in the world anyway.

Western women who think Islam is benign and harmless towards women, who excuse or ignore the treatment of women in the Islamic world, or who think they would be treated differently than their sisters in the Islamic world if they lived in it, are sadly mistaken.

It isn’t, there is no excuse and they wouldn’t be.

Former U.S. President John Fitzgerald Kennedy once said “ask not what your country can do for you-ask what you can do for your country”.

There’s only one answer.

Remove current U.S. President Barack Hussein Obama from office. Impeach him, arrest him, shame him into leaving, whatever…take whatever legal means necessary to get rid of him, to get him out of the White House.

Do it now. Not tomorrow or next week or next month, but now. Your future, the future of your children, the future of the country and the future of the free world depend on it because the country and the free world cannot survive with him at the helm and the survival of both is more and more jeopardized with each passing day.

Under Obama and his minions your freedom has been eviscerated, your economy has been ruined, your military strength has been eroded, your civil liberties have been stripped away, your future has been mortgaged, your personal safety and security have been compromised, your government and institutions have become infested with Islamists who want to turn the country into an Islamic state governed by Islamic law, your values and history have been mocked and denigrated and subjected to historical revisionism, your country has been divided racially and socially as politics of hatred, envy, expediency and political correctness have risen to the forefront, your country’s credibility and influence have been reduced to next to nothing internationally and big government now intrudes on and controls every aspect of your life. You have been lied to and manipulated and a large and growing number of you no longer trust or respect government or the office of the President and feel alienated, wary and frightened of both, with very good reason. Your freedom, your life, your children’s life and the life of the country have been diminished in every way since Obama became President and matters will only get continually worse for you and the country. That is why he must be removed from office now. Things will only get worse, not better, as long as he is in office and if he remains in office much longer you will no longer be able to recognize what’s left of America

There is no need to list Obama’s failures and transgressions or to speculate about why they have occurred. Whether he is clueless, incompetent, ideologically driven, malevolent or all of the above is irrelevant. The point is they have occurred and will continue to occur whatever his reasons and motivations are…the point is American’s lives and the life of the country will continue to be diminished as long as he remains in office…the point is Americans can only expect more of the same as long as he is President…the point is Americans must rise up now and take back their country while they still can and while there is still a country to take back.

What can Americans do for their country?

Get Obama out of the White House that’s what.

Putting someone like him in the White House was scandalous to begin with. Allowing him to remain there and destroy people’s lives and the country itself would be even more so, would be the greatest scandal of them all.

It would also be suicidal.

Horrific, savage, despicable, filthy and insane as the killing was (and civilized, sane people cannot help but view it as anything but horrific, savage, despicable, filthy and insane) no one should really be surprised that it happened.

No one that’s been paying attention to how Islam manifests itself in the world that is.

Public killing has long been a staple of Islams war against the West and this one is no different from any of the others, except perhaps for its gruesomeness and brazenness. It has after all been a staple for 1,400 years since Islam first came into existence.

Britain, like every other country in the West, including the United states, is infested by Islam.

Britain, like every other country in the West, including the United States, is infested with Islamists who believe that the killing in London was legitimate and justifiable.

In the name of Islam.

Until Western countries, Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Canada, Australia, all of them, take hard, concrete, realistic measures to deal with this infestation in their midst we can expect more of the same.

That’s what history tells us and that’s what Islam tells us too.

Back sometime in June, as per my previous post.

See you in June.

Islam does as Islam is, previously posted as A primer on Islam on the eve of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Islam’s practice and growth affects us all, whether we subscribe to the religion or not. Islam is becoming more and more prevalent in our society and we are constantly being asked to accommodate it at the expense of our values, principles, institutions and way of life. Many far-sighted, well-informed people think our culture is doomed and our country will be turned into an Islamic state if it is left unchecked.

That having been said, the vast majority of us know nothing about Islam and as such cannot make informed decisions about it or fully appreciate the threat it poses, even in the face of unspeakable events like the 9/11 attacks which were carried out in its name. This primer will hopefully fill the gap in our knowledge and understanding. At the very least the information herein should make us less susceptible to being manipulated into thinking Islam is tolerant, peaceful and benign and not the unforgiving, destructive and evil phenomenon it really is.

One brief caveat before we begin. This primer is about Islam It is not about Muslims. Muslims are individuals and should be dealt with solely on their merits, the same way we deal with everyone else. No Muslim should be maligned, stereotyped, rejected or harmed because of anything contained in this primer.

Islam means “submission to the will of God”, or Allah as he is referred to by believers. The Koran is Islam’s holy book and is considered to be the literal word of God (Allah) as revealed to the Prophet Muhammad 1,400 odd years ago. Since Allah is seen as perfect his words are seen as perfect too and cannot be questioned or challenged because doing so would be viewed as questioning or challenging Allah himself. Besides, Allah and his words are perfection personified and perfection cannot be improved upon. Indeed, not one of the Koran’s 114 suras (chapters) has been changed over the centuries. Islam requires believers to unconditionally accept and obey Allah’s words as given in the Koran, even if that brings them into contact with the wider society they live in. There are terrible consequences for those who don’t.

Islam teaches that it is the one true religion and that all other religions and belief systems are false and not accepted by Allah. Believers are seen as inherently superior to unbelievers. There is no respect or tolerance for people of other faiths or beliefs in Islam, who are thought of as contemptible, unworthy, enemies of Allah and less than human. Islam teaches that it is the sacred duty of believers to convert, subjugate or kill all unbelievers in order to purify the earth, which belongs to Allah alone. It justifies any act which leads to their conversion, subjugation or death. There is no mention of Allah’s love or regard for unbelievers in the Koran. Allah’s hatred for them and cruelty towards them are mentioned over 500 times however.

Islam’s purpose is to have everyone on earth live under Islamic rule and Islamic law, Sharia. The fact that this means destroying all non-Islamic societies and shedding vast amounts of blood is irrelevant. The command comes straight from Allah through Muhammad to the Koran and is non-negotiable, like everything else in the book. All other forms of government are seen as a sin and an insult to Allah and striving to institute Sharia worldwide is an Islamic imperative. Jihad is the individual and communal effort to expand the territory ruled by believers, to spread the rule of Islam and Islamic law throughout the world by whatever means are necessary. Believers have conducted jihad against unbelievers from Islam’s beginning to the present time. Indeed, every single day that goes by is full of examples of believers conducting jihad against unbelievers and carrying out horrific acts in the name of Islam, up to and including mutilation, torture, homicide and mass murder.

Islam permits lying by believers to unbelievers and is in fact the only major religion with a well-developed canon sanctioning this. Lying to unbelievers takes one of two forms in Islam, taqiya or kitman. Taqiya is lying or deceiving by saying something which isn’t true and kitman is lying and deceiving by omission, by telling only part of the truth and withholding the rest. Both come from Allah and the Koran and may be used in a wide variety of circumstances, one of them being to gain the trust of unbelievers to make them weaker and more vulnerable prior to defeating them, another being to comply with any of Islam’s myriad imperatives. Taqiya and kitman have been used extensively throughout Islam’s history to deceive unbelievers and to gloss over Islam’s true nature and intentions and spread the rule of Islam and Islamic law. Our time is no exception. Believers are constantly lying to unbelievers to bring them under Islam’s yoke.

Islam and violence cannot be separated. They are virtually one and the same and always have been. Violence is at the heart of the religion and violent men and acts are revered and venerated. There are at least 109 verses in the Koran espousing violence and it is required of all believers, especially against unbelievers. Since the verses are immutable and unchangeable because they are thought of as the literal word of Allah they are just as relevant, obligatory and in force today as they were when they were received. Violence and jihad are completely ingrained in Islam and the narrative and history of the religion from the beginning right up to the present time leave no doubt about this whatsoever. Violence is also commonly directed inward as well as outward and believers and their spouses, children, relatives and associates have always been brutally victimized too. Violence is simply part and parcel of Islam and Islamic law and the religion cannot be practiced without it because it is required by Allah.

Christians and Jews are held in particularly low regard in Islam. They are especially reviled because they are seen as fellow peoples of the book who refuse to accept the supremacy of Allah, Muhammad and the Koran. Peoples of the book refers to followers of a monotheistic religion with a revealed scripture e.g. primarily Christians and Jews in the Islamic context. Historically, they were allowed to live in Islamic lands but only as second class citizens and only to reinforce Islam’s supremacy. They had to pay a poll tax called the Jizya to affirm their inferior status and indigenous Christians and Jews had to pay a land tax called the Kharadj as well. They were also discriminated against in many other legal ways, all of which were designed to punish, humiliate and degrade them and keep them in their place. Even in the best of times their existence was extremely precarious and they could be forced to convert or killed for real or imagined transgressions on a moment’s notice. Hatred, revulsion and discrimination towards Christians and Jews has always been an intrinsic part of Islam and remains so to the present day. Christians and Jews continue to be vilified, discriminated against and victimized by Islam, often violently. Attacks of all sorts are very common throughout the world. This is the will of Allah as expressed to Muhammad and is entrenched in the Koran.

Misogyny and maltreatment of women are fundamental precepts and defining characteristics of Islam. Under Islam women are treated as chattels, marginalized, dehumanized, objectified, mistreated, beaten, raped, disfigured, persecuted, dominated and killed as a matter of course. This is all perfectly legitimate and is sanctified by Allah’s revelations, the Koran, Muhammad’s behavior and Islamic law. It is endemic in Islamic societies now and has been since Islam first came into existence. Women have no real rights under Islam at all, including the most basic ones of all, the right to life and the right to personal safety and security. Among other things, Islam teaches that a woman is worth less than a man, women are required to cover themselves, women are not allowed to be alone with a man who is not a relative, husbands are allowed to beat their wives, the testimony of a woman in court is worth half of a man’s, women cannot travel by themselves, adulterers are to be put to death, a woman must have four male witnesses to prove rape and her testimony is not accepted and on and on in the same vein. In Islam women are under the charge of men and completely subservient to them, be they husbands, fathers, sons, relatives or others.

Islam commands that those who insult Allah, Muhammad or Islam itself should be killed. So should those who desecrate the Koran or commit other acts of blasphemy. Mocking, satirizing, questioning or criticizing are all considered acts of blasphemy. Blasphemy applies to both believers and unbelievers. Blasphemy provisions in Islamic law are very broad and are used to stifle dissent and criticism and to incite retribution and violence against those who dare to ask questions, voice concerns, depart from the party line or detract from Allah, Muhammad, the Koran or Islam itself in any way, shape or form. The draconian blasphemy provisions in Islamic law make discussion and examination impossible because even the mildest comment or expression can be taken as insulting or blasphemous and result in the blasphemer’s death. They are a real threat to freedom of speech and freedom of expression because they intimidate critics, dissenters and other interested people into silence…they are all-encompassing and anyone who violates them or is accused of violating them could easily find themselves in very serious trouble.

Islam defines apostasy as unbelief which follows belief. An apostate is a believer who rejects Islam and leaves it for another religion, or no religion at all. Apostates not only reject Islam but by definition they reject Allah, Muhammad and the Koran as well. Islam takes apostasy very seriously and apostates are put to death under Islamic law. Believers are not free to leave Islam. Once a person becomes a believer they are forced to remain one for the rest of their lives or be killed. Islam is the only religion in the world which compels its adherents to remain in the fold upon pain of death. The death sentence is in effect regardless of whether the apostasy took place in an Islamic state or not. Muhammad himself killed many apostates and whoever kills one today is simply following his lead and obeying Islamic law.

Islam permits believers to steal from unbelievers but not from other believers. Unbelievers do not have a right to property and whatever property they do have may be taken from them by believers as they wish. Theft from unbelievers is permitted for three reasons. First, Allah promised believers that they would profit in the jihad against unbelievers, second, Allah promised believers believers that he would always sustain them and theft from unbelievers is a legitimate way of doing that and third, unbeliever’s property is not considered theirs because their lack of belief and resultant diminished status does not give them the right to own it in the first place. When believers steal from unbelievers it is viewed as returning property to a superior being and not as theft at all. In ancient times Muhammad frequently stole from unbelievers and believers have been following his example ever since. In modern times believers living on the dole is seen as stealing from unbelievers and part of the jihad against them. Conversely, the Koran states unequivocally that a believer who steals from another believer shall have his or hers hands cut off. Believers who balk at this are subject to punishment in turn because it is construed as rejecting their religion.

Believers consider lands which were once possessed by Islam to be Islamic forever, even if they were lost and regardless of how much time has gone by since the loss occurred. Whether the current occupants were on the land prior to Islam also doesn’t matter. Once an Islamic land always an Islamic land is the belief, no matter how long ago its status changed. Islam views lands which were once Islamic as holy and makes it imperative that they be re-conquered and restored to Islam’s rightful rule. That is Allah’s will and it must be followed. This is but one reason the conflict in the Middle East between Israel and her Islamic neighbors is so intractable. Israel sits on land which was once Islamic and Islam mandates its return to the fold even though Jews were there long before Islam appeared. This guarantees a perpetual state of war in the region. For that matter, Spain and much of Europe, among other places, also sit on land that was once Islamic. In fact, anyplace a mosque existed, or exists, is considered by believers to be forever Islamic.

Islam’s apologists point to a few early verses in the Koran as proof that Islam is a religion of peace, tolerance, compassion and love. This is false however (taqiya anyone?) because those few early verses are abrogated by later verses and are cancelled and rendered invalid as a result. Only abrogating verses carry the weight of Islamic law and compulsion. Abrogated verses in the Koran are called mansukh and abrogating verses are called nasikh. Nasikh were all revealed after mansukf and cancel and render invalid mansukh in every case. Apologists like to use Sura 2.256 (“let there be no compulsion in religion; truth stands out clear from error”) to deceive unbelievers about the true nature of Islam. That was an early verse and was abrogated by Sura 9.5, a later verse commonly known as the verse of the sword, which reads “Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every place of ambush”. Every passage in the Koran with any sort of a positive message for unbelievers is abrogated by a later verse, every one, which means that there is nothing in the Koran that is positive for unbelievers, nothing at all. The few verses that speak of peace, tolerance, compassion and love are all replaced and supplanted by abrogating verses which command violence, war, intolerance, revulsion, disdain and hate, commands which come straight from Allah according to Islam.

That’s Islam in brief. So how does it manifest itself in today’s world? The answer is violently, viciously and totally uncompromisingly, the same way it has since its birth. Every day all over the world believers are murdering, maiming, torturing, beating, raping and otherwise horribly treating men, women and children of all ages in its name. Every day all over the world Islam is trying to force unbelievers to submit to its imperatives, to make everyone live under Islamic law. Every day all over the world Islam is attacking freedom, democracy, secularism and pluralism. Every day all over the world Islam is trying to wipe out freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of religion and everything else that is requisite in free, non-Islamic societies. Every day all over the world Islam is committing terrorist acts, often including mass murder. Islam is a violent, destructive, intolerant, supremacist, expansionist religion and mindset and it proves the point wherever it is found, including wherever you happen to live. None of this is occurring, or has ever occurred for that matter, because anyone misinterprets or misunderstands it either. That is what Islam is and always has been, pure and simple.

There you have it-A primer on Islam on the eve of the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Draw your own conclusions. Mine are that Islam is fundamentally incompatible with free, democratic, secular, pluralistic, modern societies, that no society can call itself civilized if it is governed in whole or in part by Islam, that the Western world and Western values, principles and institutions are under attack, that the Islamization of the Western world is well and truly underway, that Islamization must be stopped and reversed if the West is to survive, that the United States (my home country) and Israel are primary targets, that every Western country is seriously threatened, that it is incumbent upon freedom loving humanitarian people to fight and overcome the scourge that is Islam and that reality, history and Islam itself tell us exactly what will happen if they don’t.

He failed to mention the biggest, most basic, most fundamental impediment there is to peace between Israelis and Palestinians to anyone however.

That impediment is Arab hatred of Jews.

Palestinians and their Arab brethren have to stop hating Jews because that hatred is the root cause of the conflict between Israel and her neighbors and because the conflict will never end until the hatred is eliminated.

There cannot be peace until Palestinians and their Arab brethren recognize Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish state and stop trying to wipe her off the map, stop trying to destroy her and allow Israelis to live in safety and security free from constant threats, attacks and war. None of that can happen as long as the Jew hatred exists, which is why it must be eliminated before there can be peace. Palestinians and their Arab brethren have to change their behavior towards Israel before there can be peace and in order to do that they have to get rid of the Jew hatred first.

That is the message Obama should have given the Palestinians and their Arab brethren, in no uncertain terms. If they really want peace they have to stop hating Jews and change their behavior towards them, towards Israel. There is no possibility of peace unless that happens and that is the message Obama should have imparted.

By failing to do so Obama failed to advance the cause of peace, which means that his trip was a failure, at least as far as peace is concerned, cosmetics, glad-handing, photo-ops and rhetoric notwithstanding.

Too bad he didn’t impart that message.

Too bad he doesn’t recognize and understand that hatred of Jews by Palestinians and their Arab brethren is the biggest, most basic, most fundamental impediment there is to peace between Israelis and Palestinians

Too bad he isn’t knowledgeable enough to know that the Jew hatred is blind, visceral, rooted in Islam, goes back 1,400 years to Islam’s birth and has nothing to do with Israel or anything she does or doesn’t do as such.

Too bad he doesn’t recognize and understand that Palestinians and their Arab brethren hate America and Americans almost as much as they hate Israel and Israelis.

Too bad he doesn’t recognize and understand that Israel is the proverbial canary in the coal mine and that as Israel goes the United States goes too.

Too bad, too bad.

The two at the top of the list are President Obama and Islam.

There are many others of course but President Obama and Islam top them all.

To be specific.

The financial, social and military decline of the United States under President Obama…the United States going from the world’s only superpower and a beacon of freedom, democracy, enlightenment and hope (A City Upon a Hill as the saying goes) to a bankrupt, sick, weak, hobbled country that is a shadow of its former self…a country that is unable and unwilling to stand up for its own interests, ideals and way of life…a country that no one can depend on and one that is rapidly losing the ability to defend and protect itself or anyone else…a country whose people are cowed and submissive instead of vigorous and free…a country where political correctness runs amuck and freedom of speech and freedom of expression are becoming a thing of the past…a shallow country where stupidity, ignorance and silliness dominate…a country whose people are under the thumb of all-knowing, all-seeing government.

The attempts by President Obama to eliminate the rule of law and the boundaries and restraints of the Presidency and turn himself into a quasi dictator beholden to nothing and no one except himself and his anti-democratic, anti-American, pro-Islamic ideology and mindset…to rule by executive fiat instead of govern…to continue to eviscerate America’s most cherished, fundamental values and institutions…to continue to fundamentally change the nature, character and essence of the country…to continue to assault America and everything it stands for and has ever stood for.

Islamists attempts to Islamize the United States and to replace American freedom, democracy, secularism, pluralism, civil liberties, values and institutions with Sharia, Islamic law…to conquer the U.S. and turn America into an Islamic country governed by Islamic law…to coerce or force everyone everywhere into living an Islamic life according to Islam’s precepts and imperatives…to bring Islam and its inbred violence, hatred, intolerance, misogyny, cruelty, brutality and atavism to everyone everywhere…to replace man-made law with religious law…to make Islam reign supreme in the land…to say goodbye to the twenty-first century and hello to the seventh, the century Islam was born in and in which it still resides.

There are of course many other major threats facing the United States, Iran’s single-minded pursuit of nuclear weapons, cyber warfare, cyber espionage, the rise of Islam throughout the world (especially the free, civilized world), the Russians, the Chinese, the North Koreans, Al-Qaeda, terrorists, terrorism and worldwide economic instability to name but a few, but they are all encapsulated in the top two and it is the top two which pose the most imminent, immediate threat to the survival of the United States as a free, democratic, secular, pluralistic country.

There you have it…President Obama and Islam…the major threats facing America and Americans on this 14th day of March, 2013.

The 11 month old baby boy was killed by a rocket fired by Hamas which struck his home. Hamas blamed Israel for firing the rocket which killed the baby and callously and shamelessly used the death to spread propaganda and lies about Israel and Israelis and vilify and demonize both in the eyes of the world even though it knew the rocket was its own.

The United Nations report proved conclusively that the rocket was fired by Hamas, which is what Israel said all along. The rocket was fired from a populated area in Gaza and fell short, landing on the baby’s building and killing it. The baby died because Hamas was using residents of the neighborhood as human shields, knowing that Israel would not retaliate by firing into populated areas.

Using human shields is something that Hamas is well-known for and so are its are its attempts to spread propaganda and lies about Israel and Israelis and vilify and demonize both in the eyes of the world by doctoring photographs, reports and accounts and manipulating reporters and news organizations for its own ends…truth be damned.

Given its well-documented track record of lying through its teeth and given that such lying is perfectly legitimate and permissible under Islam you really can’t believe anything Hamas says about anything because the odds are overwhelming that all its doing is lying to you. The just released United Nations report is merely the latest proof of the pudding.

The report also criticized Palestinians for indiscriminate attacks on Israel, for targeting Israeli civilians, for launching rockets from populated areas in Gaza and thereby placing the public in danger and for breaching humanitarian law by summarily executing alleged Israeli spies.

Using human shields, lying through its teeth, targeting civilians, summary executions, manipulating the world’s media…doesn’t say much for Hamas and its fellow Palestinians does it?

It does reveal them for the liars and savages they really are though.

I am re-posting the following post I wrote at the time in the Fogel’s memory and to implore the world not to forget them or whitewash, excuse or glorify those who killed them and those who exulted in their deaths.

The murders and the response were evil, savage, barbaric and inhuman.

Sad to say, similar murders could easily occur today and the response would be the same.

Palestinian baby killers butcher children yet again, Re: Hamas Praises Savage Attack on Jewish Settlers in Arabic, Denies Responsibility in English, Translating Jihad, March 13, 2011

Last Friday night five members of an Israeli family were murdered in their sleep, a father and mother in their mid 30’s and three children aged 11 years, four years and three months. The father and baby had their throats slit and the others were stabbed to death

Palestinians reacted to the murders by taking to the streets and celebrating and passing out candies and sweets. There were some tepid expressions of regret by the Palestinian leadership, in English not Arabic, but the overwhelming response of the Palestinian community, the Arab street if you will, was exhilaration and joy. Hamas even praised the attack and excused the murders because the victims were settlers.

There is no possible rationalization or justification for such heinous acts. They are barbaric, savage and inhuman and so are the people who commit them, the communities that enable them and the apologists that excuse them. Stabbing children to death in their sleep because they are Israelis, settlers…it doesn’t get any more barbarous than that. Slitting the throat of a three month old baby…the savagery and inhumanity is beyond words. Celebrating the commission of these acts…that’s inhuman and beyond words too.

Pure evil, that’s what all of this is, pure evil.

This brings the number of Israeli children killed since 2000 to 123. All of them were killed on purpose, not accidentally, every single one of them. Many of the killers have been glorified and are part of Palestinian folklore. Palestinian baby killers is an apt description, that’s for sure.

What a bunch of primitive, primeval, atavistic barbarians. They have no place among civilized human beings and their attitudes and behavior should be denounced and rejected in the strongest possible manner.
