Britain - BBC Enabling Terrorists

What's missing from this BBC report?

A senior Palestinian militant in the West Bank has surrendered to Israeli troops following a day-long siege.

Witnesses said Islamic Jihad member Iyad Abu Rob was arrested after troops began demolishing his hideout in Jenin.

Hundreds of troops entered the city early on Wednesday and surrounded the five-storey residential block.

The BBC are quick to point out that..."A Palestinian was shot dead and others were injured, including some children, during the incursion when Israeli troops opened fire on stone throwers."

But they leave out this:

Soldiers had surrounded a house in Jenin as part of the ongoing clampdown on the Islamic Jihad infrastructure in the city.

Hours later, they uncovered the [bomb making] factory, which was subsequently blown up by security forces.

The troops found mortar shells, large amounts of explosives, components for making explosives, and IDF equipment inside the factory.

Note the IDF equipment.

The BBC also cover for Muslims, lie about covering for Muslim terrorists, fail to report on Muslim calls for Islamic reform, and in fact, the BBC is a terrorist enabling organization which needs to be stopped.

America - Iraq Protesters Fail to Appear

But that doesn't stop AP from thinking it's news.

CRAWFORD, Texas - A dozen war protesters including Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the Pentagon Papers, were arrested Wednesday for setting up camp near President Bush's ranch in defiance of new local bans on roadside camping and parking.

[...]

A dozen or so other demonstrators left the public right of way after deputies warned them they would be arrested.

And the media's darling wasn't even there.

Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan wasn't among the protesters Wednesday because of a family emergency in California, but she planned to be at the camp later in the week.

At least they got her title correct.

Israel - Arabs Ask Jews For Help in Banishing ISM

That would be the International Solidarity Movement, favored on college campuses around America and of Rachel Corrie infamy.

Arab leaders in Hevron have contacted the city’s Jewish leaders for help in getting rid of self-proclaimed anarchist volunteers who, they complain, are destroying their traditional way of life.

The anarchists, many of whom are members of the International Solidarity Movement, flock to flashpoints throughout Judea and Samaria, ostensibly to help PA Arabs contend with IDF closures and protect them from harassment. In actuality, many of the volunteers seek confrontations with IDF soldiers and local Jewish residents, taking advantage of their Western passports to cause havoc – knowing that, at worst, they will be deported, not jailed.

The local Arabs in the Hevron region whom the activists claim to be helping are now complaining that the American and European students behave in a provocative and offensive manner in Hevron’s public areas. The Arabs say the activists disrespect the moral norms and standards of the local population.

You can read more on these morons here and here.

Islam - The Great Theft

Western Resistance has a great review of Khaled Abou El Fadl's book on Islam.

Does the traditions of Islam, with their inherited system of beliefs and convictions, contributed to the commission of these acts of ugliness? Are the Muslims who commit acts of terrorism or who persecute women and religious minorities inspired by the doctrines and dogma of the Islamic religion? Stated in a more stark and blatant fashion: Did something go wrong with contemporary Islam, and if so, what? -- Introduction.

Confronted with such negative perceptions of their religion, Muslims have a choice. They could complain and cry about it and grow old in silent bitterness. Alternately, they could decide to teach others about their faith, but this assumes they are sufficiently educated and well informed about their own religion. The problem, however, is that many Muslims are woefully ignorant about their own religion. -- Part One, Chapter One, Islam Torn Between Extremism And Moderation.

I highly recommend Western Resistance as a daily read.

You can buy Fadl's book here:



Finally, we are starting to hear calls for the reformation of Islam - from Muslims. Something that is 1400 years overdue.

UK: Muslim Peer Criticises "Contradictions" Of Islam

This is refreshing.

Alli (pictured) called Islamic clerics "intellectually lazy" and asked for a "radical democratisation of Islam". This was the first time the 41-year old peer has spoken openly about Islam, and he certainly riled one or two people attending the lecture. Alli criticised "Muslim reluctance to tackle contradictions in Islam" and said the religion should be reconciled with the modern world, rather than the values of the 7th century.

He said: "The problem lies in the Quran itself. There are contradictions in Quran; we have to stop avoiding them. If you find the Hadith literally, you can kill and maim as many people you can. If you use Quran as literal text, you can stone a woman who has been raped and in Iran, two boys were hung up for being gay."

Lord Alli is openly gay himself. He continued: "In a Muslim country, I as a gay man, should be able to go to Sharia law for protection, Sharia law should be a source of protection not oppression."

He called for a "Third Way", i.e. a democratisation of Islam. "We have to take individual responsibility for action, collective responsibility for our religion. We are today at a crossroads - modern values in Islam against orthodox values in Islam, this century will be defined by this conflict - conflict of values."

Something I've been calling for for years.

As usual, for fear of upsetting Muslims, The BBC fail to report Lord Alli's speech.

Iraq - booby-trapped toys seized

These are the people the left defend.

Baghdad - The Iraqi army said on Thursday it had seized a number of booby-trapped children's dolls, accusing insurgents of using the explosive-filled toys to target children.

The dolls were found in a car, each one containing a grenade or other explosive, said an army statement.

The government said that two men driving the car had been arrested in the western Baghdad district of Abu Ghraib.

"This is the same type of doll as that handed out on several occasions by US soldiers to children," said government spokesperson Leith Kubba.

Iraq - Saddam Thanks Democrats For Their Support

They should be so proud.

The honorable Senate Democrats in the United States are doing an honorable investigation to find out exactly what happened to cause me to lose my country, and until these honorable Senate Democrats in the United States get every one of their questions answered about the manipulation and the distortion of the intelligence — and of course all of the lies about my having weapons of mass destruction, I can’t get a fair trial….I never had any weapons of mass destruction, and whatever bad intelligence was generated by a cowboy, fratboy president and his indicted staff, who have poisoned world opinion about me…

He wasn't so thankful when Clinton claimed he had WMD's and bombed him.

Perhaps Saddam and his Democrat supporters need a little history leason.

Britain - Britain Losing Her sovereignty

The Times (UK) reports.

BRUSSELS unveiled detailed proposals yesterday that would for the first time create a body of pan-European criminal law and force member states to punish citizens who transgress it.

The European Commission listed seven offences that it insisted should become European crimes immediately, including computer hacking, corporate fraud, people-trafficking and marine pollution.

The ruling means that for the first time in legal history, a British government and Parliament will no longer have the sovereign right to decide what constitutes a crime and what the punishment should be.

With their plolicies of Muslim appeasement, how long before the entire EU is an Islamic state?

Iraq - Iraqis 70% in charge of security

More good news from Iraq.

This agreement also acknowledges the larger roll of the Iraqi armed forces are taking. Over 70% of security operations are now done by Iraqi forces; this has grown from just 30%”.

Haider's comments:

Progress in Iraq is quite measurable and noticeable on weekly bases. Security is improving in the last two provinces. Iraqi security forces are taking a much larger roll in the security of their country. Sunni & Baathists are talking about laying down their arms and joining the political process, and some have already done so. All this is possible because of our & the Iraqis hard work sacrifices and tenacity.

And more and more of Iraq is being handed back to the Iraqis.

Meanwhile, Iraqis are turning on Zarqawi while many of his supporters want to lay down their arms.

Next month's elections could be a real turning point.

America - CNN Fires Bush Critic - Audio Tape

Daily Pundit reports.

Here's what's on the audio tape:

In it, a male voice is clearly heard to say that the X overlaid on Vice President Dick Cheney's face during the broadcast of his speech to the American Enterprise Institute on 11-21-05 was an exercise of CNN's "freedom of speech." The unidentified man added, "Tell Bush and Cheney to stop lying," as well as other inflammatory attacks on the President and the Vice President.

Here's the firing:

I just got off the phone with Laurie Goldberg, Senior Vice President for Public Relations with CNN. Her statement confirms the authenticity of the tape recording and reveals the actions CNN took after learning of the incident:

"A Turner switchboard operator was fired today after we were alerted to a conversation the operator had with a caller in which the operator lost his temper and expressed his personal views -- behavior that was totally inappropriate. His comments did not reflect the views of CNN. We are reaching out to the caller and expressing our deep regret to her and apologizing that she did not get the courtesy entitled to her. "

By those standards, quite a few in the BBC, New York Times and many other media outlets should get the boot.

Malaysia - Muslim Prisoner Abuse

When there were accusations of abuse of Muslim prisoners by America, there was worldwide Muslim outrage and the media were all over it. But when Muslims abuse prisoners there's hardly a peep.

The clip, thought to have been filmed on a mobile phone, appears to show the prisoner and a female police officer.

The officer, who wears a Muslim headscarf, stands over the woman who is forced to strip naked, grasp her ears and squat repeatedly while, according to Malaysia's national news agency, a voice in the background recites verses from the Koran.

And hardly anyone says anything about the daily crimes against Christians by Muslims.

Jordan - King Declares War On Terror

Seems Bush isn't the only one declaring war on terror.

AMMAN, Jordan (AP) -- Jordan's King Abdullah II has appointed his national security adviser as the new prime minister, giving him a mandate to launch an all-out war against Islamic militancy in the wake of this month's triple hotel blasts.

[...]

The king called for a "relentless war on all the Takfiri schools, which embrace extremism, backwardness, isolation and darkness and are fed on the ignorance and naivety of simple people."

He said fatwas, or religious edicts, issued by such groups constitute a "threat on the society and its interests."

Good for him.

Britain - More Muslim Appeasement

Will she never learn? The Times (UK) reports on more Muslim appeasement in Britain.

IT WAS the surprise hit of the autumn season, selling out for its entire run and inspiring rave reviews. But now the producers of Tamburlaine the Great have come under fire for censoring Christopher Marlowe’s 1580s masterpiece to avoid upsetting Muslims.

Audiences at the Barbican in London did not see the Koran being burnt, as Marlowe intended, because David Farr, who directed and adapted the classic play, feared that it would inflame passions in the light of the London bombings.

Simon Reade, artistic director of the Bristol Old Vic, said that if they had not altered the original it “would have unnecessarily raised the hackles of a significant proportion of one of the world’s great religions”.

The burning of the Koran was “smoothed over”, he said, so that it became just the destruction of “a load of books” relating to any culture or religion. That made it more powerful, they claimed.

Members of the audience also reported that key references to Muhammad had been dropped, particularly in the passage where Tamburlaine says that he is “not worthy to be worshipped”. In the original Marlowe writes that Muhammad “remains in hell”.

And we all know that, despite all the crimes against Christians by Muslims, we certainly don't want to offend Muslims.

When is Britain going to learn that appeasement equals weakness? It never works and makes things worse.

Iraq - Terrorists Crumbling

Here's more good news from Iraq and more bad news for Zarqawi.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - Several insurgents groups have contacted President Jalal Talabani's office in the past few days, with some saying they are ready to lay down their arms and join the political process, the presidential security adviser said Thursday. [...]

``Many groups have called and some of them clearly expressed the readiness to join the political process,'' al-Samaraei said. This shows that ``the initiative was welcomed by Iraqis.''

In the western province of Anbar, members of some militant groups told the AP that they had been in talks with Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Chalabi for about two weeks but would not say how they were going.

On Monday, al-Samaraei told Al-Jazeera television that he received a call from a person who claimed to be a senior official of the resistance who was interested in talks. He would not elaborate.

With elections in about three weeks this is good news indeed and more proof we are winning in Iraq.

America - UN: The Bolton Factor

Just like his boss, President Bush, John Bolton shows what can be accomplished if you stand up to people.

Following intense US pressure, the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday issued an unprecedented condemnation of Monday's Hizbullah attacks on northern Israel.

This condemnation - slamming Hizbullah by name for "acts of hatred" - marked the first time the Security Council has ever reprimanded Hizbullah for cross-border attacks on Israel. The condemnation followed by two days a failed attempt to get a condemnation issued on Monday, the day of the attack, when Algeria came out against any mention of Hizbullah in the statement.

When asked what changed from Monday to Wednesday, one diplomatic official replied: "John Bolton," a reference to the US ambassador to the UN. Bolton lobbied vigorously for the passage of the statement.

You will notice that the BBC fail to report this "unprecedented condemnation" by their beloved UN against Israel's enemy.

Iraq - The Turkey Was Real

As today is Thanksgiving Day in America, I thought I'd remind those that need it, that the Turkey Bush served to our troops in Iraq in 2003 was real.

It amazes me that after all that has been written and after the New York Times published a correction, people keep repeating the lie that Bush served a plastic turkey to US troops in Iraq.

"An article last Sunday about surprises in politics referred incorrectly to the turkey carried by President Bush during his unannounced visit to American troops in Baghdad over Thanksgiving. It was real, not fake.

"















Unlike a lot of media stories that are, sadly, fake.

Britain - BBC Caught Lying Again - Proof. Here's the proof the BBC wanted. They claim none of their reporters ever referred to the July 7th Muslim Terrorists as "migsuided criminals" and challened anyone prove it. Well, here you go BBC. Your own gas bag John Simpson on the BBC website called Muslim terrorists, who killed over 50 innocent people, just that. Here's the link to the BBC page before they take it down: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4671577.stm 

Britain - BBC Caught Lying Again

The Daily Record notes this:

THE BBC hit back last night after being named as the people behind the weirdest politically correct phrase of the year.

The American Global Language Monitor said the phrase "misguided criminals" - used to describe the July 7 bombers - topped their Politically inCorrect poll.

GLM president Paul Payack said: "The BBC attempt to strip away all emotion by using what it considers 'neutral' descriptions when describing those who carried out the bombings in the London tubes."

But a BBC spokesman said: "We would welcome the full context of Mr Payack's comments, as his assertion that we labelled the July 7 perpetrators 'misguided criminals' appears to be complete nonsense to us They challenged GLM to prove the term had been uttered by one of their news staff.

The phrase is on the BBC's website - in a comment piece by world affairs editor John Simpson on the terror attacks.

I'll take that challenge BBC because I reported on Simpson's outrageous comment 4 days after the Muslim terror attack. Here is what the BBC's own John Simpson said on the BBC's website, which, as you can see is still there, of the Muslim terrorists:

Now that the bombs have exploded, and thousands of newspaper pages and entire days of air time have been devoted to the horror of it all, and to the poor, decent people who are dead and missing, and to the misguided criminals responsible, perhaps we can stand back from it all and catch our breath.

Simspon sounds almost sorry for the terrorists.

There's your proof lying scumbags.

UPDATE

Just for fun, I used the BBC's own search feature using the phrase "misguided criminals+John Simpson" and found Simpson's article. All the BBC had to do was look.
