Things Worth A Riot

The Pope may or may not have meant what he is accused of, but it would appear there are quite a few Muslims bound and determined to prove and uphold what he quoted.

Are there any events that would have been worth riots by us? Which did not happen?

Well I would say this would have been worth at least a gathering of denunciation in front of CAIR's headquarters.

It has been 5 years and few knew about or remember this obscenity. I am speaking of the “NY/DC Emergency Relief Fund.”

Critics have also taken aim at CAIR's fundraising and sources of funds. Shortly after the 9/11 attacks, CAIR's website solicited donations for what it called the "NY/DC Emergency Relief Fund." However, clicking on the donation link led to a website for donations to the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), a charity whose assets were later frozen and confiscated by the United States Department of the Treasury because, according to United States Secretary of the Treasury Paul O'Neill, HLF "masquerade[d] as a charity, while its primary purpose [was] to fund Hamas."

Of course anyone pointing out these unpleasant facts will be immediately accused of being Islamophobic.

I got to wondering how Islamophobic were the American People, after 9/11/2001. The FBI keeps pretty good data on Hate Crimes so I looked up

FBI - Crime in the US, 2002 - Crime Index Offenses Reported

Yes folks, the American People were so Islamophobic that Hate Crimes against Muslims climbed all the way up to about a whopping SEVENTEEN PERCENT of those against Jews and 72% of hate crimes against Asian/Pacific Islander.

That's pretty Islamophobic, because we all know how serious the Asian/Pacific Islander Terrorist Problem is.

The truth is as a Society we are extremely tolerant, understanding and unwilling to assign collective guilt.

There were shameful incidents, but no overall outpouring of rage to begin to compare with the hysterical actions by Muslims worldwide lately.

But when I think of what CAIR did during that period after 9/11, I almost wish in their case and exception had been made,

Almost, because we really are not like that, but it seems they are.

I see Michelle Malkin agrees with me that there isa difference between us and them...

"Der er et yndigt land" (There Is A Lovely Land)

Words by: Adam Gottlob Oehlenschlager
Music by: Hans Ernst Kr?yer
Adopted: 1844

"Derer et yndigt land" was first performed for a large gathering of Danes in 1844, and became popular quickly with the Danish people. It was adopted later that year by the Danish government as a national anthem, but not the sole national anthem. This anthem is on equal status with "Kong Christian",which is both the national and royal anthem.

When the Danish anthem is usually performed or sung, the first verse is played in its entirety, then it is followed by the last four lines of the last verse. (This is true whether the lyrics are sung or not

The Passing Of A Warrior

On Friday September 15, 2006 Oriana Fallaci ended a Lifetime of Battle against the Forces of Intolerance, Fascism, Totalitarianism and Oppression.

She now rests at the Heart of All That Is In The Land Of Dreaming Thunder.

Though she may not have been of the Ani Yun Wiya (the Total of All Real People) I am certain Sky Father will receive her with all honor due such a valiant warrior.


Fallaci was born in Florence. During World War II she joined the resistance despite her youth, in the democratic armed group "Giustizia e Liberta".

She ended her life a political refugee from her own land wanted in Several of the European States for speaking her mind upon what she saw as an impending Islamic Jihadist threat.

One frail dying woman who had her entire life spoken the Truth as she saw it and never compromised her Principles.

She refused to candycoat her criticisms of Islam. She refused to submit to jihadi thugs. Her books, her life, her rage and her reason serve as fiery inspirations in an era of flinching dhimmitude.

Buy her books if you haven't yet to see why the jihadists wanted her put in jail for "insulting Islam:"

If she had a Spirit Guide, I somehow feel it would have been (was) the Hawk.

Fly Free and Proud Oriana Fallaci though the Eye and Heart of the Great Spirit along side the Spirit of Sheldon Ray Hawk Eagle

Now to us, who Honor her Passing the Battle remains.

Attack On U.S. Embassy In Syria Foiled
Breaking News:DAMASCUS, Syria, Sept. 12, 2006

CBS/AP) Armed Islamic militants attempted to storm the U.S. Embassy in a bold attack Tuesday using automatic rifles, hand grenades and at least one van rigged with explosives, the government said. Syrian security forces killed three of the attackers and no Americans were hurt.

The attackers apparently did not breach the high walls surrounding the white embassy compound in a diplomatic neighborhood of Damascus. But one of Syria's anti-terrorism forces was killed in the attack and at least 11 others were injured including a local embassy police officer, two Iraqis and seven workers at a nearby technical workshop, Syria's official news agency reported.

Chinese officials say one of their diplomats was slightly injured by a stray bullet as he watched from the rooftop of his own embassy, reports CBS News correspondent Richard Roth

It would appear that the terrorists may have encountered some technical difficulties.

There were conflicting reports of what happened.

Syrian TV said one car was rigged with explosives but never was detonated by the attackers. But one witness said a second car did explode, and TV footage from the scene showed a burned car.

I am inclined to believe that unlike incidents of violence over and around the Danish Cartoons, this latest incident was not approved of or condoned by the Syrian regime.

"It is a very rich neighborhood where most of the European embassies are situated," reporter George Baghdadi told CBS Radio News.

Damascus has been hit by militant attacks in the past. In April 2004, four people were killed in a clash between Syrian police and a team of suspected bombers in the diplomatic quarter of Damascus.

The authorities at that time accused Islamic militants of trying blow up an explosives-laden car near the Canadian embassy.

Syria has in the past dealt with Islamic Militants operating outside the parameters allowed them, in an extremely decisive manner.

Hama Rules By THOMAS L. FRIEDMAN

In February 1982 the secular Syrian government of President Hafez al-Assad faced a mortal threat from Islamic extremists, who sought to topple the Assad regime. How did it respond? President Assad identified the rebellion as emanating from Syria's fourth-largest city ? Hama ? and he literally leveled it, pounding the fundamentalist neighborhoods with artillery for days. Once the guns fell silent, he plowed up the rubble and bulldozed it flat, into vast parking lots. Amnesty International estimated that 10,000 to 25,000 Syrians, mostly civilians, were killed in the merciless crackdown. Syria has not had a Muslim extremist problem since

Recently Syria has found some cadres of Jihadist extremists useful.

It does have the hallmark of an al Qaeda-type of attack, if we look at the fact that it seemed to be a vehicle, a bomb, with people inside, showing that it would be a suicide attack," Sajjan Gohel, terrorism analyst at the Asia-Pacific Foundation in London, told CBS Radio News.


(CBS)
But it might also be another group, Gohel said.

"We know that the Syrian regime has allowed insurgents to cross back and forth to attack coalition troops. It also has harbored a lot of Hezbollah members in the past. We can't rule out the possibility that Hezbollah has played a role in this," Gohel said.

We will have to wait and see how this latest incident plays out. Attacks on the US or the Canadian Embassy are one thing but if the report above is true?

Chinese officials say one of their diplomats was slightly injured by a stray bullet as he watched from the rooftop of his own embassy, reports CBS News correspondent Richard Roth.

Stratfor.com
has an interesting theory that this may hallmark an attempt by Al Qaedar to make points against Hezbollah in the Region>

Syria: Embassy Attack Linked to Militants?

The U.S. embassy in Damascus is reported to have come under attack, with reports of heavy gunfire and loud explosions. Security forces have sealed off the Rawda area, which houses other embassies, security installations and senior officials' residences.

The attack was most likely carried out by an al Qaeda-linked cell in Lebanon. Al Qaeda has steadily increased its presence in the Levant in the past several months. Syrian security forces have engaged in shootouts with alleged jihadists in the capital city since the Feb. 14 assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al Hairi. Though these shootouts were largely political in nature, designed to facilitate a dialog between Washington and Damascus, jihadists have a real incentive to stage attacks in the Levant and target the regime that has offered cooperation to U.S. forces in Iraq against al Qaeda. In the wake of the Lebanon war, a strong need arose in al Qaeda to challenge it's Shiite rival, Hezbollah, for regional fame.

I do not think the People's Republic of China is going to be pleased.

Did You Feel Safer After February 26, 1993?
February 26, 1993?

Don't remember what that day was?

It was the FIRST time they tried to bring down the Word Trade Tower.

Today is the fifth anniversay of Sept 11, 2001, 9/11 the day they
SUCEEDED in taking down the World Trade Towers.

I have heard a lot of bilge about whether we are safer now.

Well I have this question.

How safe were we after Feburary 23, 1993 when for the better part of two Presidential terms we did nothing to combat Jihadist Terrorism?

Did that strategy make the American People Safer?

What does the concept we hear so much these days,

"Do you feel safer after 9/11" really mean anyway?

One side of the political spectrum seems to place a lot of value on feelings. It doesn't seem to matter if actions make a situation worse as long as it makes people feel better, feel like these actions make a difference. The reality does not matter.

The truth is in any situation of danger, feeling safe can be fatal.

The Truth is we were not safe before Sept 11, 2001, but I would imagine all those who went to the World Trade Tower that morning felt safe.

But they were wrong.

If we want the world to be safer, then there are things that must be done to create a safer world.

Among them are finding and ridding the world of those who prey and target for death, destruction and torture the innocent and helpless.

They will not stop because we wish them to.

They will not stop because we feel they should.

They will stop when thay are met, opposed, defeated and are dead.

It is best for the American People to give up the Illusion of feeling safe and realise they are threatened, and then do what is necesaary to end it.

But you fight the bad guys. Don?t you hate them?? Sarah persisted, unconvinced by Shawn?s logic.
Again, he shook his head sadly. ?No. No, I don?t hate them.? Shawn said standing up and taking Sarah?s hand. He took the lead and resumed walking towards the red brick apartment buildings that now stood only a couple hundred yards. ?For me, it is not about revenge? it is a reckoning,? he said with a resolute nod of his head.
?A reckoning?? Sarah questioned, her curiosity piqued.
?Yeah, a reckoning,? he replied and then found himself struggling to put into words a meaning that would make sense to anyone but himself. ?It is just something that has to be dealt with, that has to be done whether we want to or not,? he stated,

Illegal Immigration: So Much Happening Everywhere, Except In The Senate
Our elected officials know what the American Citizen wants, and expects, them to do.
Immigration "is a very serious issue with the American people, and the American people feel pretty strongly, as House Republicans do, that we ought to be securing our borders and enforcing our laws," said House Majority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio).
"When I traveled the entire month of August, I heard it nonstop. They don't want the [Senate] bill. They don't want amnesty for illegal aliens

From Pursuing Holiness
Teddy Roosevelt on Immigration---So what was his take on legal immigration?
“Let us say to the immigrant not that we hope he will learn English, but that he has got to learn it. Let the immigrant who does not learn it go back. He has got to consider the interest of the United States or he should not stay here. He must be made to see that his opportunities in this country depend upon his knowing English and observing American standards. The employer cannot be permitted to regard him only as an industrial asset.
“We must in every way possible encourage the immigrant to rise, help him up, give him a chance to help himself. If we try to carry him he may well prove not well worth carrying. We must in turn insist upon his showing the same standard of fealty to this country and to join with us in raising the level of our common American citizenship.

Mexican Immigrants? Let me translate for you, illegal alien invaders.
Daley thinks the landlord had a "moral obligation" to do something about the tenants not paying their electric bills? That is ridiculous

From Red Hot Cuppa Politics
Obrador's Goals Include "Immigration" Accord
President-Elect Obrador in Mexico has some goals for "immigration".
MEXICO CITY - Mexico's president-elect says he will try to do what his predecessor couldn't in six years: Win an immigration accord that will let millions more Mexicans work in the United States legally.

Felipe Calderon said Thursday he is committed to winning sweeping immigration reform in the U.S. Congress before President Bush leaves office in January 2009. Calderon, who spoke with Bush by phone on Wednesday, said he believes the White House is ready for action.

"We will work intensely over the next two years to arrive at a concrete agreement," he said

Pro-immigrant marches began anew this week in the United States as Congress reconvened, though action on immigration is unlikely given elections in November
I think we've already assumed that any assistance with illegal immigration reform will not come from Mexico, although Calderon has promised to work on creating more jobs inside of Mexico
