ONE SMALL FINE FOR MUSLIMA, ONE GIANT STEP FOR MANKIND
The Islamic veil ban is taking hold across Europe, France being on the forefront of this anti-islamization parliamentary action. Of course, America is way behind the curve in this, because the islamization of Europe far outpaces the islamization of America -- the propaganda of jihadist deception (taqiya) is in full bloom here (CAIR leads that war in the informational battlespace). And of course, Obama and the dar al islam in America are working hard to expedite the process.
Belgium is expected to vote on a veil ban soon. France announced a couple of days ago that it would go ahead and ban the burka and niqab. French immigration minister Eric Bresson called the burka a "walking coffin." I think it's an apt description. This article also notes that the Netherlands may be the next country to announce a ban on burkas and minarets. That is, if Geert Wilders wins the election.
Driver wearing Islamic face veil fined in France Washington Post
NANTES, France -- A woman driver wearing an Islamic face veil has been fined by French police for not having a clear field of vision. The fine was small, but it garnered big attention Friday and may illustrate what is to come as the president pushes to outlaw the veils nationwide.
Traffic police in the western city of Nantes fined the 31-year-old woman euro22 ($29) in early April, her lawyer said. The fine was based on a rule that says drivers should have freedom of movement and a sufficient field of vision, lawyer Jean-Michel Pollono said.
Pollono said Friday that he is protesting the decision, saying a veil is no different from a motorcycle helmet in terms of hindrance to vision.
The driver gave a news conference Friday - while wearing the niqab veil, which covers the entire face except for the eyes - and expressed "a feeling of injustice" over the incident.
"I didn't commit any infraction," said the driver, who declined to give her name. "I see just as well as you ... I have driven like this for nine years. I've not had any problems."
The driver is French by nationality. The lawyer said she had never been stopped until now, after months of recent parliamentary discussion and government talk about possibly banning the veils.
President Nicolas Sarkozy raised the stakes Wednesday in France's drive to abolish the all-encompassing veil, ordering a draft law banning them in all public places. He insists the veils oppress women, and decided to defy France's highest administrative body, which says such a full ban could be found unconstitutional.
When the driver was stopped, the traffic police asked her to raise her veil to confirm her identity, and she complied, Pollono said.
"A French citizen cannot be fined based on the way he or she dresses," Pollono said. "If the veil is forbidden behind the wheel, then nuns should not be able to drive, and full helmets for motorcyclists should be banned, because you can't see on the sides, and even some police units who drive with masks should be fined."

ETHNIC CLEANSERS LOVEFEST: SLAUGHTERERS ON PARADE
The ideology may be different, but of course, invariably the same. Bloody, hungry power-mad savages. The tentacles of the axis of evil now extend into Africa, Central and Latin America, and Asia, and Obama is busy dismantling America.
According to Genocide Watch, Zimbabwe is now well into phase six of the descent to genocide: the final preparation. Although there are no concentration camps, the country has been divided into "no go" areas: towns are split from the countryside; rural areas are being "sealed up" and the movements of people are monitored - even the flights of light aircraft. Access to food and essentials is politically controlled. Truckloads of displaced people are dumped daily on land that cannot support large-scale habitation. Mass starvation, as Stalin found, removes political problems. Green bomber camps are being established in each district primed to exterminate opposition hot spots. Zimbabwe, says Genocide Watch, is now poised for genocide. Reinforcing that assessment is the massive militarisation of all state, parastatal and NGO sectors.
Eight million people are starving in Zimbabwe, their plight deliberately engineered by Mugabe. In terms of Article Three of the Genocide Convention, conspiracy to commit genocide and complicity in genocide are acts that are punishable. Yet the ANC [South Africa]applauds Mugabe's Zanu-PF as being "progressive" (more here.)
President Robert Mugabe has welcomed Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Zimbabwe, a meeting of two leaders united in fierce opposition to the West. Mugabe met Ahmadinejad at the Harare airport Thursday afternoon. Hat tip Mad [beautiful] Jewess
Iran's president Ahmadinejad visits ZimbabwePraag.UK
The Zimbabwe Iran Joint Commission had said ahead of Ahmadinejad's state visit that the two nations were committed to "the promotion of peace and stability in their respective regions" and welcomed Iran's proposals to host an international nuclear disarmament conference.
Iran has been under harsh criticism from Western nations for pressing ahead with uranium enrichment programs it says are to produce nuclear energy amid fears the militant Islamic state could develop nuclear weapons. Iran is the biggest exhibitor at a trade exposition Ahmadinejad is scheduled to open in the second city of Bulawayo on Friday. Ahmadinejad is the first leader from outside the African continent to open the exposition since independence from British colonial era rule in 1980.
In Zimbabwe's ailing economy - along with white-owned and foreign companies being forced under a new law to hand over 51 percent control to black Zimbabweans - many traditional Western exhibitors and local industries have stayed away from the annual trade fair, once a showcase of regional goods and products.
And Obama is kissing his ass. Obama and the left love this guy:

Flashback 2007 Mahmoud Ahmadinejad smiles: Dems seek to bar U.S. attacks on Iran.
WASHINGTON - Democratic leaders in Congress lobbed a warning shot Friday at the White House not to launch an attack against Iran without first seeking approval from lawmakers.
“President Bush does not have the authority to launch military action in Iran without first seeking congressional authorization,” Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid D-Nev., told the National Press Club.

POLICE CHECK DOOR-TO-DOOR FOR UNMARRIED COUPLES IN "MODERATE ISLAMIC COUNTRY"
Obama says, "respect it!"
Actually, the real news here is that ABC is actually reporting this story.
Morality Crackdown in UAE ABC News
Police Check Door-to-door For Unmarried Couples in Sharjah
Police in the city of Sharjah, United Arab Emirates, are going door-to-door to catch and penalize unmarried couples living under the same roof.
Cohabitation out of wedlock is illegal throughout the country, but earlier this week authorities in the conservative city-state launched a campaign stepping up enforcement of what has been an often overlooked rule. Officers arrested one couple with young children, age 2 and age 4.
"This campaign is continuing throughout Sharjah because women and men having children outside wedlock is not allowed in the UAE, as well as being against Islam," Brigadier Musa al Naqbi, a Sharjah police official, told The National newspaper.

PAMELA GELLER, AMERICAN THINKER: NO FREE SPEECH ABOUT LEAVING ISLAM?
I received this earlier in the morning:
Congratulations!
I am an American. I retired from the US Navy with 32 years and am presently training Iraqi National Police EOD in Baghdad. I have been in Iraq for well over 3 years now. I have a staff comprised of local nationals and devoutees of Islam. They are following the example of Mohammed, the perfect man. I could tell some stories. Yours is a small but very important victory for personal freedom in America. The biggest enemy to Islam in the US is the education of the naive and ignorant. Too many people have made the ultimate sacrifice in the name of individual freedoms to passively let an oppressive and socially degenerative ideology grow unchecked. Multiculturalism is the vehicle and liberalism is the enabler. Islamists know exactly what they are doing and believe they are divinely ordained to carry out Allah's work at whatever and all costs. It is a shame most Americans are only concerned with designer coffee, malls and hollywood lives and lifestyles to be bothered with this threat. I don't believe submission is a word used anywhere in our constitution. Congratulations!!!!!
He is talking about the bus ads of course. Here is my piece in today's Thinker:
Advertising on taxpayer-funded transit has become the latest free speech battleground -- and the cause of freedom has just won a significant victory. The Council on American-Islamic Relations tried to defeat free speech in Miami, with the lapdog media on its side, and was just handed a major defeat.

POST AMERICAN WORLD EVIL RUNS AMOK
Free falling ................ waiting for anti-Godot.
If North Korea was behind the attack, it would be the bloodiest single incident since an uneasy truce brought the Korean War to an end in 1953.
It also leaves Lee Myung Bak, the South Korean president, with a decision to make on retaliation or ignoring the provocation according to analysts.
"This puts Lee in a very difficult situation, but I do not think that an Israeli-style, targeted response is likely," said Aidan Foster-Carter, an expert on Korean affairs at Leeds University. "That is because the United States won't have it and there is the danger that any retaliation will descend into a horrible war."
Describing the attack as "calibrated and deniable," South Korea has little choice but to take its complaint to the United Nations, he said, although that is unlikely to have any impact on the North Korean regime and will not assuage public anger in the South.

The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America
To pull a salient quote from Victor Davis Hanson:
All I can make sense of is, he has a very different view of the world. This view is anti-platonic. And I say that, not to be condescending, but Plato said that the natural order of the world was chaos, it was war—peace was a parenthesis, it had to be achieved and worked at. I think in the Obama view that men like him that are charismatic, articulate, they can change the world because it's naturally a peaceful thing until people like George Bush rush in and through their stubbornness—"smoke 'em out dead or alive" vernacular—destroys it, but the fact of the matter is the only reason there is any semblance of peace and tranquility in the world today is because in places as diverse as the Aegean, planes over-flying in Greek airspace daily, where there's near fighting on Cypress, or whether we are talking about the Korean Sea and the Philippines and Taiwan and South Korean democracies not going nuclear because the United States is there, or whether Russian ships keep out of Norway every hour—all of that is predicated on the presence of the United States.
To be frank, or to put it a different way, Vladimir Putin doesn't give a damn that Barack Obama is African American. And the Chinese autocrats do not hear very well "hope" and "change"—it doesn't translate to Chinese very well—and the Europeans don't care if he has a nifty jump shot. All they want to know is half the world are vying to try to take advantage of regional opportunities if the United States is not there to stop mold, and to stop rust, which is the natural organic order of the world. They take advantage of it and our friends are there waiting to see which side to join. All of our friends in Europe know that, and Australia and South America. They don't have deities. Nations don't have deities like Barack Obama, they have interests. And their interests are predicated on who is going to win and who is going to lose. Into that void comes Barack Obama.
Carter was a neocon compared to this. He brought Spain into Nato and boycotted the Communist Olympics.(thanks to Armaros)
