Sorry Cindy... Not THIS Time!

So socializing with third world dictators now makes one eligible for the Nobel Peace Prize?

That's right, folks... Media whore Cindy Sheehan has let slip that she was in the running for the prize, which was awarded today to Bangladeshi microbanker Muhammad Yunus.

At least, dear friends, we didn't have to wake up to her gloating face on every morning news show from here to infinity bragging about her piety.

I mean, does anyone want another Vanity Fair spread of her on her son's grave, this time holding the Nobel Trophy?

Alec Baldwin: Jerk Extraordinaire

We all know the kind of far left nonsense that Alec Baldwin usually spouts. We all know he has quite an ego.

Yesterday he proved it was astronomical in proportion.

Here is a pic of the haughty Baldwin trying to argue his way past an officer and a police cordon during the plane crash in New York yesterday.

What over, is purely speculative at this point; no one has released the reason. But I would submit that NO reason is good enough. You don't argue with a cop, and especially not with one who is trying to keep the public safe. At the time, we didn't know WHAT had happened; if it was an accident, or a Ramadan terror attack...

University Of Michigan: Dearborn

It's come to the forefront lately that Dearborn, Michigan is becoming a hotbed for jihadi groups.

Michael at My Not So Random Thoughts has been conversing with UofM over the Student Government's anti-Israeli divestment resolution.

So far, it has resulted in a few emails being shot back and forth, and the latest is, I feel, worth sharing!

The text of the letter is in red, Michael's response is in black. Here goes:

And We're Heading Back to UofM-Dearborn

That's right, it's not over yet. At this point, almost 25% of this blog has been devoted to the University of Michigan-Dearborn Student Government's anti-Israel divestment resolution.

In my last post, I said that I didn't think I'd be hearing from Tarek Baydoun, the Student Government (SG) President. Well, I did hear back from him.

I took most of the content of my last post on this issue, "Divestment Resolution Dissected," and formed it into an email, which I sent along to Mr. Baydoun; the SG Executive Board; the Michigan Journal, the UM-D student newspaper; the Chancellor of the UofM-Dearborn; and the President of the University of Michigan. I got a prompt reply from Mr. Baydoun.

So without further ado, here is Mr. Baydoun's reply, and my comments thereon:

I think it is fairly obvious that you are incorrect in claiming that anyone in SG is "anti-semitic" or working against the state of Israel [Why is this obviously incorrect? I never called the SG anti-Semitic (check my previous emails: I said that the SG had passed a biased and anti-Semitic resolution), and the resolution at hand is, in fact, designed to work against the state of Israel; that is its admitted purpose. In the resolution you aim to have the University remove 12 million USD worth of investments from the Israeli economy.]

(since these two are apparently synonymous in your vernacular). [They frequently are used synonymously. Martin Luther King, Jr., said, on this subject, “When people criticize Zionists, they mean Jews. You’re talking anti-Semitism.” From an article in Encounter, Dec 1969, pg. 24.]

Since the goal of divestment is peace between Palestinians and Israelis, and the focus of our activism is on our own democratic institutions, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, by your own admission on your blog, you assumed that we were anti-semitic and "biased" before you even read the resolution. [No, I assumed that the SG had passed a biased and anti-Semitic resolution. Upon reading the resolution, I was proven correct. See my detailed critique of the resolution.]

Your history of anti-arab blogging online [Has lasted less than one month. Your history of public utterances, including letters to the editor, op-ed pieces, quotations to newspapers, and previous support for divestment moves stretches back at least two years. Please see my previous email for some citations.

In addition, when I went looking for your public record on this subject, I sought out just that: a public record. I purposely excluded from my search all posts and responses to Web forums, bulletin boards, and blog sites. It has been my experience that people frequently use such sites to “blow off steam,” and as such will use language, and express opinions, much less temperate that they would normally. I was looking for your more considered opinion.

However, in these missives, I have found frequent use of provocative and inflammatory language. To use your letter to editor of 13 Dec 2004, to the Michigan Journal, as an example, you used phrases such as “racist state,” “fascist Zionist agenda,” and “apartheid state.”] ,

and the fact that you are a self-described "radical zionist" who "loves Israel" [I have never denied either. I also love the states of Maryland and Michigan, and must confess to a deep fondness for the United States in general, as well as a strong streak of civil libertarianism.].

and lives in occupied Palestine, [Here is an important point, so read it carefully: I beg you, please, to define “occupied Palestine.” You have read my blog, so you know that I live in the town of Karmiel, in the Central Galilee. I invite you check a map; you will find that Karmiel lies inside the so-called “Green Line,” Israel’s 1949 to 1967 borders. The city of Karmiel was established in 1964 (per the Karmiel City Offices), before there were any “occupied territories.”

The Green Line is the most commonly recognized Israeli border, and the one which most Arab states want to see Israel resume; take a look at the recent Qatari initiative presented to Hamas and the PA. By the logic of these Arab states, then, I do not live in “occupied Palestine.” I live in the State of Israel. Several Arab states have extended official recognition and diplomatic relations to Israel.

Unless, of course, you agree with Iran, Hamas, Hezbollah, and the PLO. According to the US Department of State, these are a state sponsor of terror, and three terrorist organizations. None recognizes that Israel has any right to exist at all. To give an example of these bodies’ view, here is the Hezbollah spokesman, Hassan Ezzedin, in an interview with the New Yorker Magazine, published 14 Oct 2002:
"Our goal is to liberate the 1948 borders of Palestine," he added, referring to the year of Israel's founding. The Jews who survive this war of liberation, Ezzeddin said, "can go back to Germany, or wherever they came from."

So Mr. Baydoun, please define “occupied Palestine,” and tell us where you fall on this spectrum. That definition, and your position, lie at the heart of this matter.]

goes even further than your apparent willingness to load false rhetoric into your arguments to raise serious questions about your credibility on this issue. [What falsehoods, Mr. Baydoun? I have tried painstakingly to provide proper documentation, and citations, for every assertion I have made, and for every fact I have presented. So far, I have seen you do neither, nor have I have I seen you try to refute any of my assertions or facts.

You are right that a reliance solely on rhetoric will raise questions about credibility; however, it appears to me that you are the one so relying.]

Sir, with all due respect, you are not the average student on this issue, [You are correct; I am probably better educated on this issue.] and you speak from a point of a perceived Israeli national interest which you seem to place above our own. [No, I see them as congruent. As it appears, from the heat with which you write on the subject, that you see your own interests as congruent with those of the Lebanese and palestinians.]

Our job as student leaders is not to get into a conflict between Arabs and Israelis, but rather to speak out on an issue of morality and justice regarding our financial dealings with companies that may be complicit in the illegal and immoral practices [Again, show the documentation! Assertions without backing facts are merely rhetoric.]

of the state of Israel, among other parties and states. [I am glad to hear you admit that there are “other parties and states” involved in this matter. Will you name them? Will you document the “illegal and immoral practices” they may have engaged in? Will you condemn such practices in language as strong as that which you use against Israel?

There is an irony here, contained in the title to you letter to the editor, quoted above. You called that letter: Taking sides in Middle East conflict is a bad move for student government. You have now taken sides, strongly, against Israel. What happened to your statement, “not to get into a conflict between Arabs and Israelis?”]

Our students demonstrated their desire for such a resolution and some action on the issue, and we have responded. Is the fact that we agree with our students some sort of outrageous occurrence which threatens the credibility of such action? [You care correct that the SG should listen to the students. However, which students brought this up? Was it an overwhelming majority on campus? A plurality? A small minority? How did they bring this to the SG’s attention? Were they supported by large numbers of the faculty and staff? Was most of the student body supportive, or indifferent? Now we are getting into issues of transparency in government, an essential factor in a democratic institution.]

I reject your assumption that Arab American leaders don't have the same right and responsibility as our other American counterparts to speak out on issues of importance to our nation. [Where did I say that? I assumed, and told you that I assumed, that you and the SG allowed personal biases to decide a policy issue. You have yet to show me otherwise.]

Being Arab and having affiliations based on our opinions as Americans of Arab descent should not threaten our credibility. [Again, where did I say that? Anyone can be credible, as long as they back their opinions and positions with facts, supported by evidence. I have seen you offer no facts to defend the divestment resolution, nor any evidence that an unbiased debate was had on it, or even sought. That undermines the yours and the SG’s credibility on this issue.]

On the other hand, being a shameless defender of occupation, murder, and oppression is a credibility problem. [And there you go again, with unsupported rhetoric, and provocative, inflammatory language. Give facts, and support them!]

Mr. Baydoun, I have gone to great lengths to show why I thought that the SG Executive Board and Senate allowed personal biases to determine a policy position; that they did so without any kind of balanced debate, and even without seeking any kind of balanced debate; and, that the resolution produced was full of inaccuracies and hypocrisy. So far, I have not heard any evidence to the contrary.

Mr. Baydoun, do you have any positive defense to the claims I have detailed?

Finally, Mr. Baydoun, ... I will say publicly, and for the record, that I believe an independent Palestinian State is the most likely solution to the current Israeli-palestinian conflict. I believe that such a state will likely encompass all of Gaza and most of the West Bank, and have it’s capital in the eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem. I believe that all palestinian refugees will have a right to return to this new State. As I see it, the main obstacles to negotiate are the exact route and nature of a connecting artery between Gaza and the West Bank, and the exact nature of palestinian access to holy sites in Jerusalem. Neither problem should be intractable.

As I pointed out in my last email, I believe also that there are positive and constructive steps that you and your fellow Arab-Americans can take to promote a peaceful solution. Encourage tourism in palestinian-controlled areas. Buy palestinian-made products, and encourage others to do so. Promote real dialogue with groups you oppose; not necessarily to force agreement, but so that you can get to know each other. Donate money to help rebuild palestinian towns and cities.
-------------------------------

And that's it. Of course, I'll keep y'all posted.

I think, though, that what is really starting to upset me is how a student from a branch of a major American university still hasn't shown any kind of debating acumen after this long a correspondance. Are American colleges still teaching how to think?

Bush And The Illegal: Lookin' The Other Way!

When did President Bush join the Democratic party? Did I miss the announcement?

He must have, because from what he says, he is gunnig to hurt the GOP next month. This President (and Congress) is a walking disaster when it comes to illegal immigration; I think all of us who want our sovereignity preserved can agree on that!

Listen to what he just said, from WND (emphasis and red type mine):

"We will conduct this debate on immigration in a way that is respectful to our heritage," he said at a recent White House event honoring Hispanic Heritage Month. "We are a nation of law, and we will enforce our law."

Unless you want to stroll across our borders, violate our sovereignity, and remain here illegally. In that case, don't worry about that whole law enforcement thing. We're just saying that to sound good.

"But at the same time, we must remember that in order to secure our borders, in order to make sure we fulfill our heritage, immigration reform must be comprehensive in nature. We must understand that you can't kick 12 million people out of your country; that we must figure out a way to say to those that if you're lawful and if you've contributed to the United States of America, there is a way for you to eventually earn citizenship."


Hello? If they were lawful, they wouldn't be here ILLEGALLY! And why, pray tell, can't we kick 12 million freeloaders out of our country? Oh, yeah. Because you (the Republicans) want the Hispanic vote after you allow them to finish Reconquista.

Here is my NeoCon solution to setting this straight. IMMEDIATELY change the anchor baby laws. If you are born to an illegal, you too are illegal. Period. Also, if an illegal makes it to our hospitals to give birth, we immediately deport the woman and child with a bill to Mexico.

Erect a fence. A REAL fence, Israeli-style, not some piece of chain link crap that anyone with a bolt cutter can get through. Form a Border Guard, much like our Coast Guard, and give them orders to SHOOT anyone coming illegally.

Start canvassing places that obviously employ illegals. Let's be honest with ourselves and profile a little bit.

It is apparent that Mexico is giving us the poorest of their poor, rather than fix their corrupt government. If their poor come to the U.S., it only improves their piss-poor economic situation, and they get the bonus of the money illegals send back to Mexico, which is their second largest source of income after their oil exports!

Also, if we must jail their criminals, who make up a huge percentage of inmates, especially in the border states, we should be charging Mexico a barrel of oil for each prisoner per day, plus court costs. Once they are released, they go back to Mexico, behind that big wall we just built. If they're a lifer, well, then we get a lot of oil out of 'em. And we should make SURE to collect.

If my dear readers have suggestions on issues I may have missed, please feel free to add 'em!

Leopards Don't Change Their Spots

A Bulgarian woman in prison for killing her son was furloughed to her home because of end-stage terminal cancer.

She had been sentenced to 15 years for murdering her 29-year old son with a garden hoe while he was sleeping in 2005.

From al-Reuters:
Last month, authorities judged her to be in the final stages of cancer and let her go home, where she stabbed her husband in the throat with a knife. "It was established she was in the last stage of cancer, she had it all over her body," said a spokeswoman for the Bourgas regional police. "They presumed she was feeling bad and she would treat herself and rest. But nothing of the kind. She got aggressive and ... she killed her husband."
She is awaiting a new trial, which she will likely not live to see the end of.
It gets better... She has promised that if she is released again, she will murder her second son. You've got to hand it to her... She's persistent!

I Can Think Of Better Places To Do It...

A couple in Naivasha, Kenya was given 18 months in jail after getting caught having sex in the sanctuary area of a mosque.

Neither offender was a Muslim...

Peter Kimani and Jennifer Wairimu were charged with having sex in a place of worship. A parishioner found them in a darkened corner.

The romantically entangled Kenyans pled for clemency at their hearing, claiming they were too drunk to know where they were; Kimani claimed he thought they were in a boarding house.

I doubt an African boarding house has such nice carpets.

How drunk do you have to be to not know where you are? If you are indeed so inebriated, are you still even capable of copulation?

The senior magistrate dissmissed their plea, saying, "Having sex in a mosque is a most abominable thing to religion and only a custodial sentence can add justice to this."

He's right.

Now we just have to wait for the riots to start... I'm sure that this will incur some "diproportionate response." HA!

Kill Us Too, We Are Also Americans

This should be nailed to the door of a Mosque, a la Martian Luther! Thank you to Free Cyprus for this find.

From alt.Muslim:

Kill Us, Too: We Are Also Americans

The leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, recently issued a decree to its supporters: Kill at least one American in the next two weeks. Well, I am an American too.
By Aslam Abdullah, September 12, 2006
The leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, recently issued a decree to its supporters: Kill at least one American in the next two weeks "using a sniper rifle, explosive or whatever the battle may require."

Well, Abu Hamza al-Muhajer, I am an American too. Count me as the one of those you have asked your supporters to kill.

I am not alone, there are thousands of Muslims with me in Las Vegas, and many more millions in America, who are proud Americans and who are ready to face your challenge. You hide in your caves and behind the faces of civilians in Afghanistan and Iraq. You don't show your faces and you have no guts to face Muslims. You thrive on the misery of thousands of Muslim youth and children who are victims of despotism, poverty and ignorance.

During the past two decades, you have brought nothing but shame and disaster to your religion and your world.

You said you "invite you not to drop your weapons, and don't let your souls or your enemies rest until each one of you kills at least one American within a period that does not exceed 15 days with a sniper's gunshot or incendiary devices or Molotov cocktail or a suicide car bomb -- whatever the battle may require." I invite you to surrender, to seek forgiveness from God almighty for the senseless killing you and your supporters are involved in and repent for everything you have done.

You say that the word of God is the highest. Yes, it is. But you are not worthy of it. You have abandoned God and you have started worshipping your own satanic egos that rejoice at the killing of innocent people. You don't represent Muslims or, for that matter, any decent human being who believes in the sanctity of life. Many among us American Muslims have differences with our administration on domestic and foreign issues, just like many other Americans do. But the plurality of opinions does not mean that we deprive ourselves of the civility that God demands from us. America is our home and will always be our home. Its interests are ours, and its people are ours. When you talk of killing of Americans, you first have to kill 6 million or so Muslims who will stand for every American's right to live and enjoy the life as commanded by God.

By growing a beard, shouting some religious slogans and misquoting and misusing some verses of the divine scriptures, you cannot incite Muslims to do things that are contrary to our religion. Yes, you even fail to understand the basic Islamic principles of life and living. Islam demands peace in all aspects of life, Islam demands respect for life. Islam demands justice.

What you are doing in Iraq, Afghanistan, India or other parts of the world is anti-human and anti-divine. You are an enemy of Islam as much as you are an enemy of America. You must understand that God who entrusted you with life is the same God who spelled his spirit in every human being regardless of his or her religion or ethnicity or nationality or status. You are violating him.

We feel totally disgusted with your action and we condemn you without any reservation. Don't come to our mosques to preach this hatred. Don't visit our Islamic centers to spill the blood of innocents. Don't think that just because we share the same religion, we would show some sympathy to you. You are not of us. You don't belong to the religion whose followers are trying to live a peaceful life for themselves and others serving the divine according to their understanding. In our understanding of faith, you appear as anti-divine and anti-human. We reject you now as we rejected you yesterday.

There is nothing common between you and us.

We stand for life, you want to destroy it.

We accept the divine scheme of diversity in the world and you want to impose conformity.

We respect every human being simply because he or she is a creation of the divine, and you hate people based on their religion and ethnicity.

We support freedom and liberty and justice, and you promote bigotry, murder and strangulation.

You will never be able to find a sympathetic voice amidst us. Our differences with others will never lead us to do things that are fundamentally wrong in our faith, i. e. taking the lives of innocent people and killing others because they are different.

So on Sept. 11, when you will be hiding in your caves, we will be out in the streets paying tribute to those who you killed because you failed to see the beauty of life. We will condemn you once again the same way we have been doing ever since 9/11 because we are Muslim Americans.


Wow. If only there were more Muslims like this willing to stand up and speak out! This is a man who realizes that when al-Queada is done with the Westerner, they will come for those who are not Muslim enough.

Of course, the image coupled with this story of a woman in a hijab made of a U.S. flag is deeply offensive to me. Islam MUST stop treating their women as second class citizens; as modern day slaves! To think that a woman in MY country, a country of freedom, a country where men and women have fought and died for the civil rights to be held as equal would place themselves inside a cotton prison is appalling to me.

Islam Respecting The Ladies... Again...

Holy cow, this guy is serious! Girls, if this doesn't make you want to "revert" to Islam, I don't know what will.

Muslims Insulted By "Buddy Jesus"

If it weren't for real, it would be funny... Oh, what the hell, I'll laugh anyway!

From the AP: BAGHDAD (AFP) - Iraqi Shiite residents of Baghdad's Sadr City have expressed anger on over a picture of a grinning Jesus they mistook for a Shiite holy figure that appeared in the area after a joint US-Iraqi operation.Residents found a picture of "Buddy Jesus" from the 1999 film "Dogma" posted in the streets, accompanied by a badly photocopied pamphlet bearing a crude approximation of a US military crest and outlining a US "plan" to subjugate the neighborhood. "That picture abuses our Imam Mahdi and his holy character, and mocks our sacred figures," said resident Abu Riyam Sunday, apparently mistaking the satirical movie still of Jesus for one of Shiite Islam's historical imams, whose images adopt a Jesus-like iconography. The grinning, winking model of Buddy Jesus giving a thumbs-up sign appeared in the comedy film as a fictional attempt by the Catholic Church to present a kinder and more accessible image of Christianity. "If it wasn't so serious it would be funny," said a coalition spokesman, Major Will Willhoite. The pamphlets outlined a so-called plan to discredit the militias in the sprawling Baghdad slum of two million people, a stronghold of radical Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr. "Destabilize security in the militia areas with explosions and assassinations to create panic" and "killing, raping and kidnapping women" were all measures the pamphlet recommended to cause people to lose faith in the militias. "Do not tell the suspect militias of these plans, but keep them among friendly forces," admonished the pamphlet. The US military did not confirm that it had conducted an early-morning raid into Sadr City on Sunday, but said that an Iraqi force accompanied by coalition advisors did conduct an operation in "northeast" Baghdad. Much of Baghdad's violence has been laid at the feet of Shiite militias, many of whom are based in Sadr City, but US forces have yet to enter the neighborhood in force.

Oh, my dear friends... What will NOT offend a Muslim? Do they have any grip on reality? If Jesus iconography offends them, will they now insist that serious images of Christ be just as forbidden as that of Mohammed's?
I don't know whether to laugh or cry.

Axis Of Evil Update

When you think Ahmadinejad, think Hitler... And when you thing Kim Jong Il, think Mussolini.

North Korea reportedly detonated a nuclear bomb in an underground test. The bomb may have been anywhere between five and fifteen kilotons.

Thanks, U.N. You were a great help with those sanctions. No, really.

President Bush said that Il has "defied the will of the international community," and Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that this marks the beginning of a "dangerous nuclear age" in Asia.

Proving conclusively that politicians are about as smart as the average sack of hammers, the U.S. and Japan are expected to press for more of those highly effective sanctions.

China also condemned the action, but hey, are they doing anything about it? Nope, because they aren't our friends.

However, the people underneath certain despotic leaders are growing restless:

In Venezuela, a mass opposition rally to Hugo Chavez took place, with the people uniting behind Democratic candidate Rosales.

From the BBC:

"The problem of the opposition is that before we had a lot of candidates and people couldn't make up their minds whom to support," one woman said. "Right now we have just one candidate and I believe that we have a better shot if we have just one candidate against Chavez." For some it was simply a day out to enjoy the sunshine, but for most it was a chance to listen to a speech by Mr Rosales, who declared that Venezuela was "at a crossroads".

I hope Rosales watches his back...

One worrisome thing: Rosales criticizes what he calls Chavez's "check book diplomacy", and says that he is giving away Venezuela's oil wealth to foreign powers.

I wonder what he meant by that...

In Iran, it is reported that 65% of the population are unhappy with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, mostly due to out of control inflation and economic issues.

"Fighting the daily rise of prices and solving the vital question of unemployment in a matter of few months needs a real miracle", said former government official spokesman Anbdollah Ramazanzadeh.

One creepy aspect of the Iranian Press Service story is that they are calling the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadi Nezhad. Is our spelling wrong? Did we get a bad translation? Or is he now calling himself the Mahdi? It's a frightening thought...

Look at her face! She is tired-looking; haggard. She looks like she just stepped out of a concentration camp. How is this considered fashionable?

Guys, do any of you find her even remotely attractive? Personally, I'd rather have a few excess pounds than be literally starving!

Here is an interesting piece of history... A large section of the Berlin Wall, with manikins posed on the back of a Trabant. You socialist lefties will notice how, like this nasty lie, the Commies kept carefully manicured areas for the eyes of the West; fancy shops, manicured streets... yet their own citizens didn't have the freedom to go to a car dealership and buy a needed vehicle... They had to wait on a list for nearly a decade for a two-cylinder, plastic piece of crap. My kid's stroller is more durable!

How we wish he would've acted while he was the President:

Iranian Dissenter: U.S. MUST Help Force Regime Change

Amir Abbas Fakhravar, a former medical student, was a voice of dissent against the Iranian government for 14 years.

Fakhravar spoke at the Discovery Institute in Seattle Wednesday about his experiences at the hand of the Iranian regime.

"I want to show the face of Iran to the world," Fakhravar said through an interpreter. "And I want to show the face of the world to Iran."

Fakhravar was thrown in prison several times for speaking out against the mullahs of Iran, during which he was beaten, and threatened with torture and death. Each time he was released from prison, he would push the envelope, organizing student protests in Tehran and even publishing a book, "This Place Is Not A Ditch," that was critical of the Iranian government, to say the least!

I wonder if the liberals who complain about losing rights under the Patriot Act (a fallacious argument) and criticize our government with every other breath need to fear being drug from their beds at night, beaten to a bloody pulp, and left to rot in prison without being charged until someone decides to let them out.

I think not.

When the Iranian government decided to furlough Fakhravar to take his university exams in 2005, he fled, sneaking out of the country and seeding asylum in the U.S., where he now speaks about the loss of rights in Iran, and urges the U.S. to force a regime change in Iran, be it through strict sanctions, or even military force. He believes that positive change will never happen under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.




"The U.S. needs to put a policy in place to show that they are standing with the Iranian people," Fakhravar said.

Folks, he is right! Most American liberals who whine about the war in Iraq do not know enough simple geography to realize that Iran is right between Afghanistan and Iraq... That's NOT a co-incidence! I hope that we do indeed squeeze the snake that is Iran until the head, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad pops off. His removal can only make things better!
