Filmmaker Steve Bannon invited me to an exclusive screening of his new Palin documentary "Undefeated" in New York last night. It's a blockbuster, because she is a force of nature. He has done this country a great service in this remarkable effort. Sarah Palin is one of the most media-saturated of all public figures, and yet so few know her story or, more remarkably, her exceptional record. No governor at any time, not LaGuardia, Roosevelt or even Reagan, accomplished anywhere near what this champion achieved in her first 18 months in office. We all fell in love with her for a reason, and despite years of malevolent Palin-bashing, this film reminds us why. It is astounding. And while America may look to Alaska for its energy, what America should look to Alaska for is her leadership. The origin of the film was inauspicious. Bannon was approached by Palin's close aide, Rebecca Mansour, with a request to make a few you tube videos explaining a number of Palin's historical accomplishments while Governor of Alaska. But so taken was Bannon with Palin's recordand leadership that he made a feature-length movie, financing it himself while keeping complete editorial control. Palin was not even interviewed for the film (he used audio from her book "Going Rogue" for continuity). Bannon's background is interesting. He is a former naval officer and ex-Goldman Sachs banker, now a filmmaker, who was enormously impressed with an American patriot with frontier values from the last great American frontier. Palin's background is blue collar. Her father was a schoolteacher who never made more than $23,000 a year. Her mom was a homemaker. Her husband is working class, and she belongs to no political dynasty or any insiders clique either in the beltway or Alaska. She is us. She is the quintessential maverick, an outsider; but despite this, she beat old boy powerhouse Republican Frank Murkowski in the primary before crushing the competition in the general election to become Alaska's youngest -- and first female -- chief executive on sheer goodness and will. And even those of us who thought we knew what champion Palin was, knew little of her monumental achievements. The film is divided into three parts. First, how she came from nothing to battle the corrupt powers fighting against her (and the best interest of Alaskans) and achieved unprecedented success in a very short period of time despite the odds. The second part of the film shows the true leadership, natural charisma and intelligence that makes Sarah Palin uniquely qualified to inherit the Reagan mantle. She is the only conservative leader who can lead a Reaganesque Revolution and bring the American people (the tea party movement) back into power and into the Oval office. Steve Bannon has been quoted as saying, "This film is a call to action for a campaign like 1976: Reagan vs. the establishment." America needs this film. I hope this is the opening salvo in the right's counter assault on the left's cultural choke-hold and the manufactured narratives they audaciously call news. It is time, America, that we go on the offense. Bannon kicks off the film by exposing the fierce pathology behind Palin Derangement Syndrome with a series of vidclips of well known "celebrities" spewing X-rated misogynistic, sexist, and vicious remarks about Palin. It speaks more to their character, or lack thereof. Bannon actually has two versions of the film -- the x-rated version and the PG13 edit for family audiences. What I admire most is how Palin does not back down in spite of this misogynistic war on her very existence. Having been on the receiving end of violent left wing poison (I actually make a cameo in the film when a Keith Olbermann "worst person in the world" clip is used -- I am the runner-up to Palin), I can tell you that the abuse against her is shocking. And yet Sarah moves forward without hesitation, with guts and grit and grace. I love her. She has character and spine like no one else. Obama would melt in one day under such relentless attack. The left does not realize that they have trained this woman for D-day battle. America needs to see this movie if, for no other reason, to know what a real leader looks like and acts like, and to understand what Palin actually accomplished. America must begin to understand how violent and destructive the elitists that control information dissemination have become. We witness an absolute campaign of destruction of a squeaky clean, brilliant, accomplished champion of the people by bloodthirsty, jealous hyenas. And the craven complicity of the Republican establishment will drive legions away from the old guard and their Rovian mechanics. The Old Guard must stand down. Governor Palin’s cornerstone accomplishment is AGIA (Alaska Gasline Inducement Act). During the Palin administration, TransCanada and Exxon formed an alliance to build a natural gas pipeline from Alaska to the Lower 48. Under Governor Palin’s governance, the project was expanded and revised from what previous governors had proposed with an open policy process for the Alaskan people. More progress was made on this effort than in the previous 30 years. This is the largest private sector infrastructure project in North American history and helps put us on the path toenergy independence. Governor Palin’s administration opened up drilling for oil and natural gas at Pt. Thompson for the first time in decades. Governor Palin created the Alaska’s Petroleum Integrity Office to oversee all aspects of energy development and Climate ChangeSubcabinet to comprehensively and honestly evaluate climate change. Governor Palin reduced earmark requests for the state of Alaska by 80% during her administration, requesting only earmarks that would benefit the country as a whole. Governor Palin reduced spending in her budget for Fiscal Year 2010 by more than one billion dollars from the previous governor’ s Fiscal Year 2007 budget, a 9.5% real reduction in spending.Her FY2010 budget was $10.57 billion compared to Governor Murkowski’s FY2007 budget of nearly $11.7 billion. At the same time, she fulfilled her campaign promise to forward fund education, allowing districts greater flexibility and predictability in their planning. She vetoed half a billion dollars in spending, the largest veto in state history. Governor Palin invested $5 billion in state savings. Governor Palin reformed Alaska’s public employee retirement system to make it solvent. Governor Palin accepted less state per diem for herself and her family than her predecessors even though she had a larger family. Who can you say these things about? Americans must become one man media machines. We must educate ourselves, and then educate our friends, neighbors, co-workers. We must teach our children how to think. Get involved in information and news dissemination. We must make our own choices and own them. Become like Sarah, "rawhide tough." The film will open to wide distribution. Go and take everyone you love. While every election is critical and "historic," and every presidential election, more so, sometimes, it's true. And none more than now. None more than 2012. Every American is needed in this war for the security, the viability, the soul of America. Every American is needed on deck. Every family is a unit in the national service of our country. This is no exaggeration. This is life and death. This nation is at the precipice. A terrible war is coming, thanks in part to disastrous policies set in motion by a dangerous post-American president. The media has ceased to act in any kind of responsible news gathering/disseminating fashion. It acts only to serve the state and its party (statism, collectivism). America must break the hold it has on creating false narratives about traitors and low-lives, while destroying the reputations and careers of patriots and heroes. I am sick and tired of hearing that Sarah Palin is "unelectable." Says who? The urbane degenerates masquerading as "journalists?" This is who America is looking to for information and direction? Civilizational suicide. I am sick and tired of hearing Republicans say Sarah Palin is unelectable. Says who and why and based on what? I am sick and tired of letting our enemies define our leaders for us. Palin has the stuff of true greatness. She has grit and courage and love of country. The palpable hatred among the left elites (and their counterparts, the RINOs) is the hatred of the good for being the good. Palin's record is exemplary. From the PTA to the Mayor's office. From the Mayor to the Governor. From Governor to Vice-Presidential candidate. She is close to perfect, and yet she is reviled, defamed, ridiculed by those who aren't fit to wipe her black stilettos. The more evil succeeds and overwhelms our foreign and domestic policy, our culture, our discourse and the very social fabric of our lives, the clearer it becomes that nothing less than a true patriot can pull us up by our boot straps and enable us to throw off the shackles of leftism, statism and 50 years of leftwing infiltration. And it won't be easy, but it must be done to save America. The low state of the world is getting lower. But there are so many great Americans who will fight tooth and nail to stop what Obama and the uber-left are doing to America. Clear thinking Americans see what is happening. America is being tested in a way she never has been before. The President has in every decision reinforced the impression that he is a radical, an Islamophile, an anti-semite, a usurper of the Constitution. He is bankrupting our nation and illegally grabbing private wealth while appointing Islamic supremacist infiltrators to key positions. He has abandoned our allies and weakened of our military. It's stunning. Sarah Palin sees it, too. Smart, sharp, patriotic, she best represents the majority of Americans. And here is the crux of the problem. We cannot let our domestic enemies define our leaders. We cannot let our domestic enemies destroy our most effective voices on the right. You must have seen by now that the more rational, the more effective, the patriotic a Republican leader is, the more they are polarized, ridiculed, destroyed. This must stop, and we must stop it. We will not never change the rabid left. Like most family members with a mental illness, they should be carefully monitored and watched that they don't hurt themselves, but never consulted or taken seriously. Logic is anathema to the left. For them, reason is the enemy. We tolerate them, but we do not hand over to them the reins of the most powerful economic, military, intellectual powerhouse in the world. Because when you do, you get a unqualified bastard like Obama. As for the Republican old guard, they better get out of the way. I, for one, like tens of millions of red-blooded Americans, look forward to the day that Sarah Palin announces her intention to run for president, despite the enormous personal cost such a run exacts. The forces of evil will unleash their absolute worst on this shining warrior, but tens of millions have her back. I was at the RNC in 2008. It was all about her. She lit the fire that reignited the right. And so she will again. Run, Sarah, run. Today is the wonderful, splendorous, life-celebrating Israel Day parade down Fifth Avenue. I go every year and I love it. The nazis go also and try to bring down the happiness and ebullience, but they are like so many gnats. No one cares. The NY Post is running a special section on the Israel Day parade. AFDI/SIOA took the back cover -- the ad that Seattle Metro, San Francisco BART, and NYC Transit, cowards that they are, would not run. They must be dancing to a different beat. A Haitian salsa champion who returned to the stage after losing his leg in last year's massive earthquake is being denied the chance to come to New York to show off his skills He was scheduled to appear at the parade here Trapped for three days last year in the rubble of Haiti's devastating earthquake, all George Exantus could think about was doing the salsa on a brightly-lit stage. For him, dancing was life or death, and even after being rescued and having his right leg amputated below the knee, Exantus dreamed of the day he'd be back in step. With the help of a team of Israeli doctors, Exantus received a state-of-the-art prosthetic and months of intense rehabilitation. Now, Exantus is not only able to dance again. He looks like he hasn't missed a beat. The miracle dancer will show off his skills in New York Sunday at Manhattan's annual Celebrate Israel Parade. After the event, Exantus will dance in a concert in Central Park, the culminating twist on his road to recovery. "The will to dance is what kept my spirits up," Exantus told the Post. "I did not think I would live to see another day. The whole experience was scary and frantic. By the grace of God am I only here today." The catastrophic, 7.0-magnitude earthquake that killed 220,000 people and left 1.5 million Haitians homeless Jan. 12, toppled Exantus' apartment building, and pinned the dancer's feet and left hand under cement blocks for three days. "I was praying a lot to be rescued," Exantus said. "I slept. I was very hot, very sweaty. I had a feeling I was going to die." Haitian Earthquake Amputee & U.S. Senator Menendez Denied by U.S. Embassy in Haiti: HI Pamela, It's coming damn close to this in Europe. Do not believe for one second that America is that far behind. Don't you dare criticize the religious ideology that inspires jihad, you racistislamophobicantimuslimbigot. And how is the West responding? By demonizing and destroying those fighting in defense of freedom, like myself, Spencer, Sultan, etc., while cozying up to Muslim Brotherhood proxies (like CAIR, ICNA, ISNA) whose stated goal is "eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers, so that it is eliminated, and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." New Al Qaeda Video: American Muslims Should Buy Guns, Start Shooting People ABC news In a new video message released on the internet Friday, American-born al Qaeda spokesman Adam Gadahn calls on Muslims living in America to carry out deadly one-man terrorist acts using fully automatic weapons purchased at gun shows, and to target major institutions and public figures. "What are you waiting for?" asks Gadahn in English, and then adds that jihadis shouldn't worry about getting caught, since so many have been released. "Over these past few years, I've seen the release of many, many Mujahideen whom I had never even dreamed would regain their freedom." The two-part, two hour video appeared on jihadi websites Friday with images of jihadi leaders as well as snapshots of allegedunderwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan. Both Hasan and Abdulmutallab are charged with carrying out attacks inside the U.S. Called "Do Not Rely on Others, Take the Task Upon Yourself" and produced by al Qaeda's media arm, as Sahab, the tape mixes Gadahn's new message with clips from old videos of Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and other al Qaeda leaders praising one-man attacks. They call on jihadis in the West to carry out lone wolf operations. Gadahn sounds the same theme in his message, a series of soundbites interspersed throughout the video and accompanied by images of U.S. airliners, bombmaking and the logos of U.S. companies. "Muslims in the West have to remember that they are perfectly placed to play an important and decisive part in the Jihad against the Zionists and crusaders, and to do major damage to the enemies of Islam, waging war on their religion, sacred places, and things, and brethren," says Gadahn. "This is a golden opportunity and a blessing." Gadahn suggests targeting major institutions -- after a clip showing the logos of such firms as Exxon, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America -- and "influential public figures." "Getting to these criminals isn't as hard as you might think," says Gadahn. "I mean we've seen how a woman knocked the Pope to the floor during Christmas mass, and how Italian leader Berlusconi's face was smashed during a public appearance. So it's just a matter of entrusting the matter to Allah and choosing the right place, the right time, and the right method." He claims that many Western born or raised jihadis, the "brothers who came from abroad" are now thinking about returning to their "Crusader" countries to "discharge their duty of jihad." He also says not to worry about imprisonment, since so many have been jihadis have been set free. "If it's Allah's will that you be captured, then it's not the end the world, and it doesn't necessarily mean that you're going to spend the rest of your life in prison." Many mujahideen who were locked up "are now back home with their families, or back on the frontlines, fighting the enemies." The new! free! Egypt belches more rotten poisonous gas. This from the leader of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt -- outlawed under Mubarak, now welcomed by millions of devout, authentic Muslims. Last week I posted on a clearly antisemitic piece of legislation in San Francisco and Santa Monica, banning the Jewish religious tradition of circumcision. Judenrein in Sunny Southern California: Banning Male Circumcision. America, this is getting very, very ugly. Male circumcision is significantly healthier, with or without the important religious significance. The Islamic practice of female genital mutilation (cutting off the clitoris) is sick misogyny. To equate the two is officially legislating Jew-hatred. Any doubt this was motivated by hatred and racism? Zombie over at PJM: Proof that S.F.’s circumcision ban is anti-Semitic Defenders of the measure say it’s all about “human rights” and “protecting babies” from unnecessary procedures. But critics suspected there was something vaguely anti-Semitic about the whole proposal, since among Jews (and Muslims, as well) circumcising male babies is a religious duty, not just a mistaken medical procedure. Ban proponents insisted their proposal had nothing to do with Jews — really, it’s all about the rights of children. Well, any doubt that they were lying have now been dispelled, with the publication of new campaign literature for the upcoming circumcision ban. The campaign comic book, called Foreskin Man, after its baby-saving superhero, features a litany of evil Jews doing battle with blonde Nordic saviors. (Oh, and did I mention the artist’s last name is Hess? A relative of Rudolph, perhaps?) Below you will find a selection of images taken from Foreskin Man, the campaign brochure for San Francisco’s anti-circumcision ballot measure. You tell me: anti-Semitic or not? Muslims are increasingly out of control, free to spew their religiously mandated Jew-hatred, racism and supremacism against non-Muslims. What is being done to stop this? What has to happen to spur meaningful defensive measures? Muslims attack Jews at University of Melbourne Australian Islamist Monitor A police report has been filed following an allegedly violent incident during the Australasian Union of Jewish Students’ (AUJS) Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day) celebrations. The lunchtime party, held on University of Melbourne grounds, turned ugly when an individual used wirecutters to vandalise a stereo playing Israeli music. He is then alleged to have struck an AUJS member, injuring him with the wirecutters. Both police and security were present at the event and two individuals were reportedly removed from the scene. … the AUJS event consisted of music and dancing on the university lawns and could not have been misconstrued as a political rally. AUJS leaders and Jewish Community Council of Victoria (JCCV) president John Searle have called on the police to lay charges relating to the individual’s alleged possession of a weapon, vandalism and assault. The University of Melbourne counter-rally was organized by two groups – Students for Palestine, and the Federation of Australian Muslim Students and Youth (FAMSY). A flyer posted across Melbourne encouraged students to “rally against Zionists’ apartheid celebrations.” AUJS, which is affiliated with the Student Union, had permission to hold its event. A student union representative confirmed that neither Students for Palestine nor FAMSY are affiliates of the university. According to Lazarus, AUJS will request answers as to how the counter-rally was permitted at all. He said the Jewish student group had always had a good relationship with security representatives on campus and was disappointed the situation got out of hand. “We think we took all the right precautions.” Searle agreed and said he would not be encouraging AUJS to lie low in the future. Odd, but I could not find this reported by any other media outlet. Is it because attacks on Jews are unimportant? Or was the reluctance to report it because it puts Muslims in a bad light? Whatever the reason, both the incident itself and the reluctance to mention it, are concerning. Generally the Jewish leadership has ignored the vitriolic and racist BDS and Israel Apartheid movements, arguing that reacting would simply “give them oxygen”. So it was refreshing to hear Searle saying he would not encourage AUJS to lie low in future. In a free and democratic country, students should be able to celebrate their culture without harassment. The university must ensure this sort of incident does not happen again, and the police must press charges against the perpetrators. To read more about FAMSY, read THIS DOCUMENT Manifestations of hatred and demonization of Israel and Jews have been increasing: CONCERN is rising in the Jewish community over increasingly violent anti-Israel protests in Melbourne. JCCV president John Searle called on the police to stamp down harder on aggressive protesters. “There should not be blatant breaches of laws that are overlooked by the police or flagrantly ignored by the police.” (source) In other countries, displays of violence against Jews are common: Assaf, a 26-year-old Israeli architecture student Assaf said that he went to the police but was ignored, until he turned to the community rabbi and additional Jewish families for assistance. "We filed an official complaint with the police" said Chaim Amar, a 28-year-old medical student who serves as a security officer at the local synagogue. "Unfortunately, nothing came of it so far." For Assaf, life has yet to return to normal. "Only one lone Italian student came up to me and said that he was willing to testify to the police about what happened. All the rest - even the guy who shares my dorm room and witnessed the incident - saw everything but are afraid to be associated in the case." (source) Tragic that, because of Islam’s barbarity, the authorities just look away. But one brave student is finally standing up to the intimidation: On March 5, 2010, Jessica Felber, a twenty year old Jewish student at Berkeley, was Jessica Felber Defendants were fully aware that Zakharia, the SJP and similar student groups had been involved in other incidents on campus to incite violence against and intimidate Jewish and other students. Nevertheless, in clear dereliction of their legal responsibilities, Defendants took no reasonable steps to protect Ms. Felber and others. The Complaint charges that the assault was the result of the university having: (1) fostered and encouraged campus terrorist incitements by the SJP and the MSA) ; (2) turned a blind eye to the perpetrators of illegal activities; (3) failed to effectively discipline the MSA and SJP for their pro-terrorist programs, goals and conduct; despite having ample notice that such violence was foreseeable; and (4) failed to provide adequate security to prevent the violence, harassment and intimidation which occurred. Ignoring complaints from students about the poisonous climate on campus, defendants condoned, allowed and enabled groups such as the MSA and the SJP to threaten, harass and intimidate Jewish students and to endanger their health and safety. Their tolerance of the growing cancer of a dangerous anti-Semitic climate on its campuses, and their failure to take adequate measures to quell it, violated the rights of Ms. Felber’s and other students to enjoy a peaceful campus environment free from threats and intimidation. As the Complaint reminds us, the on-campus activities of the SJP and MSA … and the university’s failure to confront them – present a disturbing echo of the darkest period in history: the incitement, intimidation, harassment and violence carried out under the Nazi regime and those of its allies in Europe against Jewish students and scholars in the leading universities of those countries during the turbulent years leading up to and including the Holocaust. There is a genuine fear by Ms. Felber and other students of Jewish ancestry on campuses throughout the University of California system that the tragic lessons of history have not yet been learned by these defendants. They fear that the University of California campuses are no longer places of hope and dignity, of academic and personal freedom, or of peaceful life and personal safety. (source) About time someone stood up to the violent bullies, Marxist and Islamic! They should be prosecuted and those in authority who turn a blind eye, despite repeated complaints, must be held legally accountable. We must use Lawfare to ensure the rule of law is upheld. Check out the article I wrote with Robert Spencer on the travesty that took place at Ohio University. Videos of the event here. Intellectual Disgrace at Ohio University How completely has indoctrination and propaganda replaced rational discussion and intelligent debate in America's universities? We were reminded of just how bad things have gotten several weeks ago at Ohio University, when we were invited to screen and discuss our documentary on the Ground Zero mosque controversy, The Ground Zero Mosque: Second Wave of the 911 Attacks. While universities today idolize "diversity," they actively discourage the one kind of diversity that matters most: genuine diversity of opinion. We saw instead the effects of the stifling intellectual straitjacket that universities force upon students on all too many campuses. Joining us was our cinematographer, David Miles, who is an alumnus of Ohio University. But OU students and faculty were in no mood to discuss the issues our documentary raised: even before we arrived on campus, the student newspaper, The Post, ran a "review" of the film entitled "NYC mosque film inaccurate, bigoted." It was written by Brandon Kendhammer, an Assistant Professor of Political Science at OU. Kendhammer retailed libelous generalizations about us and about our work, without offering a single example of the inaccuracy and bigotry he purported to find in our film. Indeed, Kendhammer couldn't have given an example of those things even if he had wanted to. Why not? Because he had not even seen the film. Got that? The Post ran a review of the film written by someone who could not have seen it. With a fine Orwellian touch, Kendhammer claimed that we wished to undo America's legacy of religious freedom -- without explaining how opposing forces that would establish a law that institutionalizes discrimination against women and extinguishes the freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience amounts to opposing religious freedom, while fronting for this repressive ideology presumably amounts to supporting that freedom. In reality, we oppose the Islamic supremacist political agenda that supports elements of Sharia that are at variance with Constitutional freedoms; nothing in such a position involves any infringement on religious freedom. Kendhammer also warned students off the event. He strongly advised them not to attend the screening. It was particularly disappointing that in a university setting, which should be a center of open thought and free discourse, a professor would stoop to such tactics. Was he so insecure of his own position that he was afraid of opposing points of view? Was he fearful that people might be exposed to convincing arguments that he would not be able to answer, and so he had to resort to the suppression of his ideological opponents in a desperate attempt to mask his intellectual bankruptcy? It was ironic in the extreme that in the name of "tolerance," this professor would himself practice intolerance in smearing opposing points of view, and try to prevent Ohio University students from being exposed to a perspective that, quite obviously, opposed the ideological lockstep in which they were ordinarily forced to march. What was Kendhammer afraid of? That somebody might agree with us? It was noteworthy that many of those who attended the event and asked us questions had obviously taken their talking points from Kendhammer's article, and even proudly admitted that they would not consider our ideas even without having seen a frame of our film, or read a page of any of our books or websites. In any case, as a result of his smear piece, the event was not well attended. Those who did come were propagandists of the leftist and Islamic stripe. We were told only minutes before the event began that we would be part of a "panel" that included a keffiyeh-clad Muslim propagandist, Professor Ali Ziyati from Marietta College, and that his dhimmi leftist American wife, Jenny Nelson, an associate professor of media arts and studies at OU, would be the "moderator." She had Ziyati get up to speak immediately after the screening, whereupon he launched into a lengthy and mostly unintelligible tirade about "hate," while his wife looked on approvingly. So of course we each got up and responded, but the questioners were not interested in engaging alternative points of view. They were instead unanimously hostile, with most of the Muslim questioners trying to filibuster and shout down our answers. Go. Read the rest. Obama emboldens the global jihad with his annihilationist talk of "Auschwitz borders." With all of Obama's talk last week of ethnically cleansing the Jewish homeland of the Jews, he never spoke to the coalition government formed between the genocidal racist group Hamas and Fatah. Abbas was the first: the first foreign leader that Obama called when he took office, January 21, 2009. And to what end? They crap all over America. (JPost) — Fatah has never recognized Israel’s right to exist and will never do so, according to Azzam al-Ahmed, a member of the Fatah Central Committee who is closely associated with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Ahmed, who is also head of the Fatah negotiating team with Hamas, said PA security forces in the West Bank were arresting Hamas supporters to protect them from being targeted by the IDF. Ahmed’s remarks were made in an interview with the Egyptian newspaper Al-Masry Al- Youm. Asked whether Fatah had spoken with Hamas about recognizing Israel, the senior Fatah official said, “Fatah has not recognized Israel. I challenge anyone who says that the case is otherwise, whether it’s Hamas or others. Neither Fatah nor Hamas is required to recognize Israel. Only governments and states extend Ahmed said the PLO had recognized Israel with the signing of the Oslo Accords. “An organization recognized a state and a state recognized an organization,” he said. “Now states should recognize each other when a Palestinian state is declared next September.” More news the media covers up, under-reports or obfuscates.

SHOT OF THE DAY
I received this clipping from a reader in Egypt, attached with this note:
Have been reading your blog for a very long time, and really appreciate your effort. Always a good read, stuff I sometimes would rather forget, but really need to see.
The attached was from the Egyptian Gazzette, a truly worthless piece of crap, but a look at Egyptian thinking and stupidity. I live in Egypt, although probably not for long.
The situation here is changed from last year in some ways, but in reality, only security is changed. Security is gone, and everyone is scared. The perfect opportunity for the brotherhood to step in and take control. There really is no other option, anarchy or the brotherhood. The fools that started the revolution, have not a clue.
If you look at the past two Fridays, you can see it is over. The fools garnered maybe 10,000, the brotherhood easily 200,000 in the Tahir square.
The anti Jewish/Israel situation has not really changed. Israelis from my experience know more than I do about Egypt, while Egyptians are totally in the dark, and are afraid of Israel. It is a fear of the unknown as much as anything. You would laugh at the kind of conspiricy theories about Jews here. My favorite was the trained sharks that attacked Sharm last year, I just could not help but laugh whenever people brought it up. We are dealing with the truly ignorant.
Christians in Egypt will have what happened to Jews in the 50/60's happen to them. A slow but relentless push out.
I totally despise the president fool [Obama], but more I despise a political system that could result in such a poor result.NEW AL QAEDA VIDEO: AMERICAN MUSLIMS SHOULD BUY GUNS, START SHOOTING PEOPLE
He urges Muslims to pursue attacks with whatever is available. "Let's take America as an example. America is absolutely awash with easily obtainable firearms. You can go down to a gun show at the local convention center and come away with a fully automatic assault rifle, without a background check, and most likely without having to show an identification card. So what are you waiting for?"

EGYPT'S MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD LEADFER AL-QARADAWI: "[MODERATE MUSLIMS] ACCEPT OFFENSIVE JIHAD, AND ATTACKING THE INFIDELS IN THEIR LANDS"
Photo:Yusuf al-Qaradawi returned from Qatar to rally hundreds of thousands at Tahrir Square today in his first public speech since 1981.Al-Qaradawi: "[Moderate Muslims] Accept Offensive Jihad, and Attacking the Infidels in Their Lands" Translating Jihad (hat tip Marty)
The following is a translation from an excerpt of Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi's Fiqh al-Jihad, which was posted on IslamOnline.net. Here al-Qaradawi defends the position of those he terms 'moderates' from attacks by 'extremists' who argue that moderates don't accept offensive jihad. Al-Qaradawi argues that to the contrary moderates do accept offensive jihad, including raids into enemy territory, and gives some reasons for which they would accept it.
This is interesting in light of statements of Muslim apologists and spokesmen in the West, who routinely argue that Islam really means an inner spiritual struggle against sin, but inasmuch as it does refer to warfare, it is purely defensive. But when you look at the justifications al-Qaradawi gives for offensive jihad, you find that by his definition even the 'moderate' Muslims accept offensive jihad against the infidels under almost any pretense.
Translated from IslamOnline.net, 8 January 2011 (I previously translated the first half of this article here):
...I want to clarify here the difference between the moderates and extremists, or the "defensive (jihadists)" and "offensive (jihadists)", as they are called by some.
Some of the offensive (jihadists) have not been fair to those who hold the opposing view. They have put words in their mouths which they did not say, and accused them of that which they are innocent. They say: "They (the defensive jihadists) do not accept offensive jihad under any circumstance, in any form, or for any reason. They do not believe jihad is legitimate except in one condition, which is if Muslims are attacked in their homes and lands." This is how they depict the opinion of the moderates or the defensive (jihadists).
I think they are not being fair with the opposing side, and are not being precise or honest in presenting their views. Whoever reads their [i.e. the moderates'] opinions, will find that they accept offensive jihad, and attacking the infidels in their lands, for several reasons, including the following:
1- To ensure the freedom to propagate the call to Islam, to prevent fitna in the religion (of Islam), and to remove the physical obstacles which prevent the call to Islam from reaching the multitudes of people. This was the reason for the conquests of the rightly-guided (caliphs) and the companions (of the Prophet), as well as those who followed them in righteousness. (They fought) to remove the power of the tyrants who controlled the necks and minds of men, and who said what Pharaoh said to those of his people who believed (in Islam): "Have you believed before I gave you permission to believe?" This is the embodiment of the goal expressed in the saying of the Almighty: "Fight them on until there is no more fitna."
2- To ensure the security of the Islamic state and its borders, when they are threatened by the enemies (of the Islamic state) who lie in wait and conspire against it. This is what is termed in our present day "preemptive war." This is one of the prerogatives of the ruler, and is in accordance with the right to self-defense. Most of the Islamic conquests were of this type of preemptive war, after the Islamic state was attacked early during the reign of the Prophet by the two great kingdoms of Persia and Byzantium. The conflict with Byzantium began with the battles of Mu'ta and Tabuk, and the conflict with Persia began with Chosroes tearing up the Book of the Prophet (PBUH) [i.e. the Qur'an], and threatening what he threatened thereby.
3- To save the oppressed among Muslim prisoners, or those living in a minority status, who suffer afflictions, persecutions, and torture at the hands of the arrogant oppressors who rule over them without right. As the Most High said: "And why should ye not fight in the cause of Allah and of those who, being weak, are ill-treated (and oppressed)?- Men, women, and children, whose cry is: "Our Lord! Rescue us from this town, whose people are oppressors; and raise for us from thee one who will protect; and raise for us from thee one who will help!" [Qur'an 4:75].
If oppressed and persecuted peoples, even if they are not Muslims, seek aid from the Islamic state, and if the Islamic state possesses the ability to save them, then it should answer their cries and come to their aid. For conquering the unjust ruler, helping the weak, and deterring the oppressor from the oppressed is a religious duty under the shari'a. It is also a moral duty within every religion. Every society protects virtue, and safeguards high moral values, whether the oppressed is Muslim or non-Muslim.
4- To remove all polytheism from the Arabian Peninsula, which is considered a free and pure nation for Islam and its citizens. Therefore it is a special stronghold for Islam, whose protection is not shared with anyone.
By Allah, there is wisdom in this: the Hijaz and the Arabian Peninsula around it is the haven and incubator of this religion. Islam seeks refuge in it whenever trials afflictions are brought by different factions. History has confirmed for us its usefulness and importance throughout the ages through which the ummah has passed.
On this wise the verses from surat al-tauba were sent down on declaring immunity from (the contract with) the polytheists, and their delay of four months, during which time they wandered around the land [see Qur'an 9:1-3]. After which they had to choose for themselves: accept Islam, depart from this land [i.e. the Arabian Peninsula], or fight. These four months are those which are called forbidden because it was forbidden to fight during them. The Almighty said: "But when the forbidden months are past, then fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war); but if they repent, and establish regular prayers and practise regular charity, then open the way for them: for Allah is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful" [Qur'an 9:5]. Allah wanted the Arabs to choose to enter Islam before the four months had ended, and thus make the peninsula purely for Islam, and make the Arabs the band of Islam and its preliminary soldiers, to carry its message to the world.
This is Allah's favor for the Arabs, with what he favored them: the Qur'an was sent in their language, the Messenger was sent from them, and the Ka'ba and the Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabui are in their land. They have become the guardians of Islam, and the preachers to carry its call to the inhabitants of the world.

As you may have heard by now, San Francisco will be voting this November on whether or not to ban circumcision in the city.
MUSLIMS ATTACK JEWS AT UNIVERSITY OF MELBOURNE
“What AUJS was doing was a quiet, peaceful celebration. They ought not to feel scared to express their passion for being Jewish and being Zionist.”
Earlier this month, around 100 protesters marched through Melbourne’s CBD targeting Jericho cosmetics stores and Max Brenner cafes. It was part of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, being pushed by pro-Palestinian groups.
Jewish artist Jane Korman… said the protesters – who she described as Anglo-Saxon and mostly university aged – were “quite abusive”.
Assaf, a 26-year-old Israeli architecture student, was eating at the cafeteria when Ibrahim Haji, a student from Gaza, came and began taunting him.
"He came towards me, punched me and said 'why are you looking at me?' I told him I wasn't looking at him, and asked him to let me eat in peace. A minute later he was back, swinging a fork, and called me in front of everyone to come outside while cursing Israel and declaring his intention to kill.
I understood that I have to avoid this dangerous situation. I told my Italian friends, who were eating with me, that I'm going back to my room so as not to respond to this provocation. On my way out I turned to the cashier and told her, 'Call the police. You heard the man threatening to kill,' and she responded, 'It's not my job to separate Jews and Arabs.'"
Assaf's attempt to distance himself from the fight failed. Ibrahim waited for him outside and went for the attack. As Assaf tried to defend himself, Italian passersby stepped in to intervene and held him back. Ibrahim took the opportunity to draw a large kitchen knife. The Italian students tried to stop him.
"I saw death in front of my eyes. I broke free and ran into the storage in the kitchen and locked myself in. After a few minutes more Muslim students arrived and began shouting 'Allahu Akbar' (God is great) and 'Itbach el Yahud' (slaughter the Jews). Later I understood that there are over 40 angry students there.
The Italians disappeared; they were scared to deal with them.
According to Amar, the police are familiar with Haji from previous violent incidents. It wasn't his first time threatening the life of an Israeli student, and he reportedly harasses female Israeli students regularly.

MODERATE MUSLIM FATAH: “WE HAVE NEVER RECOGNIZED ISRAEL’S RIGHT TO EXIST AND WILL NEVER DO SO"

THAILAND MASS MIGRATION DUE TO MUSLIM TERROR
Here in Thailand things are so bad that every quarter thousands (most likely tens of thousands) of non-Muslim (primarily Buddhist) Thai citizens in the south are abandoning homes, jobs, businesses, land holdings and generations of work to head for safer northern provinces. Their holdings are sold for a song to local Southern Muslims. This is the plan of the Muslim terrorists of course, and it's working. This forced mass migration of Buddhists and abandonment of property and homes in the south of Thailand is a part of terrorism story that is largely unreported in the local or international press.
I have no government sources to back up the numbers (thousands or tens of thousands) but this is not surprising as the government would not wish to acknowledge the huge demographic change in the south in the last few years as this would be an inconvenient truth (to borrow a phrase). You must also understand how the Thai national character sometimes prevents the telling of inconvenient truths. The abandoned homes and closed businesses tell the story though and any southern resident can recite a long list of friends and family already gone. Everybody wants out but it's difficult to leave assets and generations of attachment to the land and communities.
Yala Province public Thai schools are closed because all the teachers fled last year. All of them. The local Mosque schools are of course fully staffed and operating. The surging terrorist violence is readily apparent on Wikipedia where a fairly complete list of attacks shows that already in 2011 we have experienced 3 times the entire number of attacks for all 2010 but we're not even half way through the year.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Thailand_insurgency
The world is not paying attention to the big picture story in Thailand because no one is pulling it all together. The world hears of an attack here or there, but nothing of the overall impact to the country and the southern Buddhists. There is a mass migration and population shift in progress but the story is not being told.
Here is the latest murder that happened only yesterday, but as usual it is presented in isolation from any comprehensive overview.
