The Sultan of Surrender

Barack Obama, the new American president, seems to be trying to pass Europeans in the race down the dhimmi brick road. In a speech before the Turkish parliament today, Obama declared that the US is not at war with Islam. He claimed that the great majority of Muslims have nothing in common with terrorist groups such as Al-Qaeda. He went on to claim that Muslims have "enriched America" and then touted his own Muslim roots. Obama then stated that he was converting to Islam and would replace the US Constitution with Sharia law. Just kidding. But not by much.

In his speech at the Democratic National Convention last year, Obama shouted with great passion, "Don't tell me Democrats don't want to defend America!". Well, I'm telling you, Democrats, led by Obama, don't want to defend America nor Western Christian civilization. The American president's performance in Turkey proved that. Not only did he grovel to Muslims but he took swipes at his own country. Obama dredged up America's past injustices to Blacks and Native Americans, as if that had anything to do with Muslims. He repudiated Gitmo and stated that, under his administration, America would not torture, all but saying that under the previous administration she had. This is a frightening shame.

Americans and Christian Westerners at large ARE at war with Islam, not because we want to be but because Islam chose to be at war with us. And Islam made that choice centuries ago. In 652 AD Arab Muslims first attacked Christian Sicily. In 717 AD Muslims laid seige for the first time to Constantinople, capital of the Byzantine (Eastern Roman) Christian Empire. In 711 Muslims began their conquest of Christian Spain and tried to conquer the rest of Europe but were stopped in France by Charles Martel in 732 AD. All of this Islamic aggression against the West occurred hundreds of years BEFORE the Crusades, Christendom's belated defensive wars that are always blamed for causing the animosity between the West and Islam. And Muslims kept attacking Europe for hundreds of years AFTER the Crusades, inflicting great oppression and suffering on the native Christian population. Obama mentioned none of this.

When Barack Obama spoke before the Turkish Parliament he spoke like the perfect dhimmi. He apologized for America's "sins" while not demanding or even expecting a reciprocal mea culpa from the Muslim world, even though one was definitely in order. Instead, he purposely left the impression that America, the West in general, is the only civilization to have done wrong in history. Obama did mention the Armenian genocide, but he didn't call it a genocide in deference to the Muslim Turks. He wasn't so concerned with the feelings of his fellow Christians, though, nor with historical truth.

Barack Obama is hailed by the American and international Left as a great new leader, the bringer of much needed change after the "arrogant" and "warmongering" Bush administration. And the Left is right. Barack Obama is leading a wave of change in America and the West, but it won't bring the results the Left is promising us. Obama's conciliatory, self-hating pose before the Islamic world will only breed contempt for us in the hearts of our Muslim enemies. They now see that not only is America, the world's lone super power, weak, but we are celebrating that weakness as a great leap forward. Obama has stepped onto the world stage as the Great Surrenderer and he's being lionized for it. The jihadis are watching, and we will pay...dearly.

Shock And Awe In The Gaza Strip

It's about time!!!!! Today Israel finally took decisive action against the terrorist training camp otherwise known as the Gaza Strip. The Jewish state finally got fed up with Hamas, which controls the Strip, firing rockets at its citizens and began a punishing air offensive to stop it. Again, I say it's about time!!!!

It's about time Israel committed itself to it's own defense no matter what the anti-Semitic "world community" thinks. Hamas is committed to Israel's destruction. Instead of improving the lives of the Gazan Palestinians since gaining control there last year, Hamas has done nothing but attack Israel. The Israelis have been patient, even naive, in dealing with these Palestinian scumbags. Trying to please the world, trying to be humane, Israel let its people get bombarded by endless rocket attacks without fighting back. And what did the Jewish state get for that? Nothing but contempt and condemnation just for existing. That stopped today.

Today, Israel unleashed its armed might against that nest of vipers in Gaza. Israeli planes bombed Hamas strongholds, killing at least 200 people, and the offensive shows no sign of slowing. I hope and pray that this is just the beginning. I hope and pray that Israel is determined not to stop until Hamas is utterly decimated, no matter how many civilian casualties that requires. The last thing Israel needs is a repeat of the disastrous Lebanon war of '06, when she caved to world opinion and stopped fighting way short of victory. The result of that is that Hezboallah is now stronger than it was two years ago. Israel can't afford that again.

So far, Israel has said that its aim in this offensive is to stop Hamas's rocket attacks. That doesn't sit well with me. While stopping the rocket attacks is good, Israel's goal should be larger than that. Her goal should be to ensure her survival. Personally, I think that should mean cleansing Gaza entirely of Palestinians. Israel should force the Gazan Palestinians into the Sinai desert and let their Arab "brothers" take care of them. She should then repopulate Gaza with patriotic Israelis who are unapologetically committed to their nation's survival. Israel almost certainly won't do this but she should, and then tell the "world community" to f**k off.

Where ever Israel's current offensive leads I pray the Jewish state has the resolve to fight to total victory for, as Winston Churchill said in his nation's darkest hour, without victory there is no survival. Hail Israel!!!!

Quotable Quotes: On Multiculturalism

"If all cultures are equal then cannibalism would just be a matter of taste. That's what the multi culti people just don't understand." Pela68, blogger.

Merry Dhimmitude!

I can't believe what I'm about to write here. No wait, I CAN believe it; I just don't want to. I came across this story on Angel's blog at Woman Honor Thyself and I thought I'd put my spin on it here. Read it and weep.

In Armonk, New York the Islamic star and crescent has been added to the village's Christmas display along with the Christmas tree and the menorah. Never mind that there isn't an Islamic holiday in December; the PC whipped townlet felt it was time to be inclusive--man I hate that word!--and celebrate all cultures during this Christian holiday. Actually, this wasn't the town's idea. Asad Jilani, a Muslim resident of Armonk, felt left out--poor thing!--and asked the village to include the symbol for his religion, you know, the one that inspires people the world over to murder "infidels", i.e. you and me. Such inclusiveness. All to promote peace, you see. Good, good, good vibrations!

When the star and crescent went up Jilani and two other townspeople expressed the majority opinion, calling the Islamic display "very attractive" and Armonk "magnificent" for being so open. The director of the Armonk Chamber of Commerce, Judy Wesley, was pleased at Armonk's "spirit of inclusion" and claimed that "Jesus Christ himself would have gathered everyone around Him." What ARE these people smoking?!?!

Let me explain something to the clueless, self-hating dhimmis of Armonk. Armonk is a town in New York. New York is a state in the United States of America. The U.S. of A is a country in Western civilization. The religious heritage of Western civilization is CHRISTIAN. During Christmas we Westerners celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ who gave us our Christian heritage. Christmas was never meant to be "inclusive". It is an expression of our great Judeo-Christian culture, a culture we should CHERISH, not submerge into a messy, multicultural composite.

The culture that should be celebrated in the West is Western culture, and it should be celebrated without apology. Islam is not part of our heritage, except when we fought against its efforts to conquer us. We have NO obligation to put the star and crescent in our Christmas displays or any where else, for that matter. And if Muslims complain? Tough. Their demands for tolerance and inclusion would have more credibility if they practiced those things themselves. How tolerant is the Islamic Republic of Iran, which hangs homosexuals? How inclusive is the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, where Islam is the only legal religion?

Instead of whining about being left out of our holiday festivities, Asad Jilani and other Western Muslims should be out protesting the tyranny and intolerance of Muslim societies. And we true Westerners should firmly reject unilateral tolerance, unilateral inclusiveness, and unilateral multiculturalism and recommit ourselves to pride in OUR OWN culture. We need to reawaken ourselves to the greatness of Western Christian civilization and fight for its survival. Otherwise "Merry Christmas" will be replaced with "Merry Dhimmitude".

In the Spirit of Martel may we live!

Another Capitulation To Muslims

While watching The O'Reilly Factor last night I found out about another capitulation to the sensitive sensibilities of Muslims. It seems that Random House book publishing company has pulled the plug on a novel about the "romance" between the "prophet" Mohammed and his child bride Aisha, whom he married when she was six years old. Just days before the book, titled "The Jewel of Medina" (TJoM), was to be released Random House backed off, citing concerns that the novel might incite violence from the followers of the religion of peace. And what's really upsetting about this is that concern over the novel wasn't raised by Muslims but by University of Texas professor Denise Spellberg who, apparently, has appointed herself Protector of Islamic Feelings. And there are other such protectors around.

In Serbia--Serbia!--TJoM was pulled off bookstore shelves and the publisher apologized for publishing it after some Muslim group threatened to protest. When are we in the West going to stop doing this? Muslims kill us or threaten to kill us repeatedly; they oppress their religious and/or ethnic minorities; they execute homosexuals and "unchaste" women; they call for the destruction of an entire nation; yet we strain to be sensitive to their little feelings. This Spellberg person felt she had to warn Muslims about a novel that supposedly "made fun of [them] and their history". Ah yes, it's MUCH worse for a Westerner to make fun of Muslims than it is for Muslims to actually kill Westerners. You see, they wouldn't feel compelled to murder us if we understood them better. So goes the thinking of Quislings like Spellberg. I ask again, when are we in the West going to stop this?!

Freedom of speech used to be a cherished principle in Hesperia. Now, protecting Muslims' feelings is the highest good. What's wrong with a little censorship if it serves the cause of not offending Mohammed's followers? Isn't refraining from giving such offense the best way to prevent terrorism? The more we show Muslims that we like them, that we're on their side, to the point of violating our own rights and freedoms, then surely they'll drop this jihad nonsense and live in peace with us. Sherry Jones, the auther of TJoM, claimed that she wrote "respectfully" of the "great historical figures" Mohammed and Aisha, and that her book was meant to be a "bridge-builder" between Muslims and Westerners. Well Ms. Jones, just look at what your appeasement got you.

Muslims don't want to intergrate into Western civilization; they want to Islamize it. Appeasement emboldens them. They use fear of terrorist violence or mere protests to cow us Westerners into living by Islamic rules, chief of which is the rule that Islam, Mohammed, and Muslims must NEVER be offended. You can photograph a crucifix in a jar of urine. You can make an image of the Virgin Mary out of elephant dung. You can trash the Catholic church in books like "The Da Vinci Code" and mock evangelical Protestants in movies like "Saved!" and in inumerable tv shows. Freedom of speech absolutely allows that. But we must not think that freedom of speech protects criticism of Islam. What a warmongering notion!

Muslims will keep pushing and pushing the envelope until we wake up one morning and find that Sharia law has become the law of the land. I repeat, appeasement only emboldens them. It convinces Muslims that they can win because the West is too self-loathing to defend itself. Canadian author Mark Steyn, who had his own battle with protect-the-Muslims censorship, wrote that the future belongs to the fertile and the confident. We Westerners consistenly show that we are neither while Muslims are definitely both.

But all is not yet lost. There is reason for hope. Shortly after "The Jewel of Medina" was cancelled by Random House publishers in Italy, Spain, and Hungary bought rights to the book. Bravo to them! There are still those in the West who cherish our liberties and our civilization and will not be intimidated by Islam. The Italian, Spanish, and Hungarian publishers of TJoM will, no doubt, come in for such intimidation but I have a strong feeling that they will not cave. Their steadfastness will tell the Muslims that the Islamization of the West is not assured. There are still Westerners with the will and the guts to fight for their land. They are the Hammer Folk, the shield of Hesperia, and with God's help they will save Western civilization.

In the spirit of Martel may we live!

Little Arab Hoochie Mama

This little girl is THREE!!!! And they call US decadent!!

Woman, Kill Thyself

Feminisim has come to Islam! That's right. Some Muslim women are shaking up the ranks of radical Islam by demanding the right to--are you ready?--blow themselves up for Allah! No more just having babies for jihad. No, these women want to become full blown gun toting, suicide belt wearing jihadis. Just like the men. And you thought Islam couldn't be progressive on gender issues. You bigot you!

So, what trigged this distaff rebellion? It was a statement by Al Qaeda's number two man, Ayman al-Zawahiri who, on a jihadi website, denied there were women in Al Qaeda, thereby angering many of the women who are, in fact, part of the organization. On the website al-Zawahiri took a very traditional Islamic position, saying that women's role in jihad is to raise children and support their "brothers" who are fighting. This didn't sit well with a lot of the liberated ladies of radical Islam. Oh no. Just supporting the brothers isn't enough. They want any willing Muslim woman to be allowed to kill herself for Allah and experience martyrdom. Just what female martyrs will receive on their entrance to paradise--are they even guaranteed paradise?--isn't said, but I highly doubt it'll be a mansion full of virgins like the men get.

Some militant Muslims have been using female suicide bombers for some time. Those progressive Palestinians lead the way on that. Al-Zawahiri, though, wasn't willing to give the feminine martyrs their proper due. The hungry-for-martyrdom feminists are out to change that. It'll be interesting to see how this gender spat turns out. Who could imagine women complaining that they aren't allowed to kill themselves or aren't given proper kudos when they do? Only in the religion of peace, folks. Only in the religion of peace.
