Imam Lied, People Died

Listening to the post-Imus show on WABC-NYC and one of the guests is endlessly pointing out that the people of Afghanistan are largely illiterate. From what I understand, this is accurate.  He continues to inform anybody who calls in, and everybody in the studio, that the mob in front of the NATO base, where one person was shot dead while protesting, is the fault of a Gainsville, FL Preacher who had the notion that he was going to burn a few Qurans.

What I really do not understand in his argument is how, if they are illiterate, they found out about this stunt in Florida that hasn't even happened yet?  Sounds to me like someone in Afghanistan is trying to cause trouble.

Of Cowering White Liberals and the most Juvenile Religious Segment Ever Invented

(Updates at the end)
First, they came for the people who opposed a bunch of questionable characters building a Mosque at Ground Zero, Manhattan and all who objected were labeled 'racists.'

Really? That was first? Well, pretty close to first. Next they came for the Florida minister planning a bonfire of Korans.  That one has to be second, nothing else of note was between.

This is the face of Islam under siege in a post 9/11 world.  This is a siege? According to some, yes. Let us not forget that Americans may be slaughtered if the oxidization process of this paper pile is accelerated, according to a high-ranking uniformed liberal. Why? Because Middle-East and Central Asian Muslims are the biggest babies on earth, that's why.

Of course, this is the way any religious person would act when their holy books are intentionally destroyed, right?  Hows about we takes a look at a few other items:


North Carolina Church burned non-King James Bibles in 2009. What was the body count from that? Zero?

How about a burning Bible video from 2007 -

What? Nothing has happened with that? No way!

Burning bible video from 2008 must have ruffles some feathers of the religion and gun clutching set.



No?
Another video of Bible burning, this one with a catchy title that should have swept the internet like wildfire:


Lots of casualties from that one?

Maybe Bible burning is in a Holy loophole somewhere, like burning soiled American flags. Surely heads would roll and body parts would fly if someone shot a bible with a gun, right?



Wrong. No marching in the streets, no fits, no fights. Nothing like when Newsweek lied and people died.

So, just what is all this fuss about, especially from religion hating liberals? Quite simply, Western White liberals are a bunch of fradiae-cat pansies that like to lump people together in odd categories.  To them, all Asians are yellow, all Republicans are White, all Muslims are "people of color" and everybody who is not White and/or Christian is oppressed by White Christians. We can skip the Jews for a moment until the liberals need some mysterious bully to explain why there is no actual evidence for their position.

A big one with liberals is Africa being a nation, rather than a continent. At least that is the way they use "African" much of the time, the same way everybody else uses "Irish".  This is a key concept to grasp, since they seem to think all Muslims are from the Middle-East.  Maybe those are the only Muslims liberals care about, making the rest invisible. Actually, they are not invisible. They just aren't causing trouble like the Middle-East Muslims.

Something both Rush Limbaugh and David Horowitz have observed over the years, the left really does not care who their allies are, as long as those allies hate either America or Western Civilization.  Thus, the bomb making, Jew exterminating, USA attacking, French car burning Muslims are pals of the liberal. And by liberal, I do not mean people like me and my friends who enjoy erotica, wish for the day when drugs are legal (even if we don't plan on doing any) and would rather not get married before enjoying sex with others.  I am talking about the liberal left, Socialistic, Nazis with speech codes and an unquenchable self-hate for their own countries.

What about these "moderate Muslims" we all keep hearing about?  Those would be the ones that Arab Muslims call "monkeys" and go around killing in greater numbers than they kill non-Muslims.

Back to the White liberal, another pet thought of theirs is that everybody in the South USA owns a gun (or arsenal), a Confederate flag, goes to Church, lives in a trailer, Southern cities are trailer parks, makes moonshine, is always barefoot unless at a wedding, married a close relative and prefers to have sex with a willing sibling. If someone meeting that description is not located in the South, then they are just a redneck.  There must be a lot of rednecks at Reason magazine, the biggest online and print advocate of close-relative intercourse.

Remember all those riots when Confederate flags were burned? That's okay, I don't either. The liberal will tell us that never happens, even though it does. Don't miss the next event! Here is an article about it from the Leftist mind. See Red State for a sane take on that one. I hope someone from the press is keeping the body count stats beginning Sunday.

Some think that burning an American flag and flying a Confederate flag are "similar in many ways" (my count of similarities is zero, not quite the same as many, IANAL).

So, enlightened, delicate readers, when will burning the Koran be as popular as burning the Bible? When will burning the Koran be as 'patriotic' as burning flags?

Been to any good stonings lately? Discuss.

Update 09/09/10:
From Slashdot -
theodp writes"In response to a complaint, Rackspace has shut down the websites of the Dove World Outreach Center, a small 50-member church which has received national and international criticism for a planned book burning of the Quran on the anniversary of the 9-11 attacks. The center 'violated the hate-speech provision of our acceptable-use policy,' explained Rackspace spokesman Dan Goodgame. 'This is not a constitutional issue. This is a contract issue,' said Goodgame, who added he did not know how long it had hosted the church's sites. Not quite the same thing, but would Kurt Westergaard's cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad also violate Rackspace's AUP? How about Christopher Hitchens' Slate articles? Could articles from one-time Rackspace poster child The Onion pass muster?"

I got my free Koran and Prayer Rug at G'itmo

Couldn't find my college football jersey so I am sporting my Rush Limbaugh Club G'itmo T-shirt while I sit at Starbucks and write Suki IV: Finally A Vacation today. Close enough to the right color orange.

Cathy Young covers Apologists for Terrorists

The Media, Islam, and Political Correctness

Is it a right-wing scare tactic to use the phrase Islamic extremism?

Last week's arrest of four men in the Bronx, New York on charges of plotting to bomb two synagogues and shoot down a military aircraft with a missile has revived an ongoing debate about the connection between Islam and terrorism and the twin pitfalls of religious bigotry and willfully blind political correctness.

The New York Times has been assailed by conservative critics such as Dallas Morning News columnist and blogger Rod Dreher for downplaying a troubling aspect of the case: all the suspects are Muslims. (They had converted to Islam while in prison for drug offenses, theft, and other crimes.) The first Times report on May 20 mentioned this fact only in passing—despite a statement by New York Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly at a press conference that the four had talked frankly about wanting to "commit jihad."

. . .

By contrast, the opening line of the New York Post story on the arrests referred to "four homegrown Muslim terrorists on a mission from hell"—inflammatory, to be sure, but arguably far more accurate.

As is frequently her way, Ms. Young beats me to the punch:

To some on the left, any mention of Islamic extremism is a bigoted right-wing scare tactic. On his blog, Nation magazine columnist Robert Dreyfuss dismisses the New York terror plot as "bogus" and asserts that every alleged plot by Muslim terrorists on U.S. soil after the World Trade Center attack has been "nonsense" cooked up by the FBI: "Since 9/11 not a single American has even been punched in the nose by an angry Muslim, as far as I can tell." (Tell that to the victims of Mohammed Taheri-azar, who plowed a Jeep into a crowd of students at the University of North Carolina in 2006 and later told authorities that he wanted to follow in the footsteps of September 11 hijacker Mohammed Atta and "avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world.") And while most of the plots uncovered by the authorities seem to have been the work of inept losers, one does not have to be a genius to inflict a lot of damage. If the September 11 hijackers had been caught, how many people would have scoffed at the plot to fly hijacked planes into buildings as absurdly improbable?

And she beats me to another frequent observation of mine.  I was not aware of this specific item, but I have gotten tired of pointing the main point out to my 'Conservative' friends, who are just like Leftists, they just have a different set of issues:

Yet anti-Muslim hysteria on the right is no myth, either. In February 2007, when a teenager named Sulejmen Talovic went on a shooting rampage at a Salt Lake City, Utah shopping mall, killing five people, some right-wing websites excoriated the media for ignoring the "Muslim connection"—the shooter's background as a Bosnian Muslim immigrant. Never mind that there was nothing to suggest that Talovic was a Muslim zealot or that religion had anything to do with his actions. (Shooting sprees by troubled young men of other religious backgrounds are not exactly unknown.)

The whole article is quite excellent.

Some surprisingly good comments too, and they include some marketing advice for Muslims.  I could do without the "white southern redneck" talk, but see my comment above about people really being alike, just with a different set of issues.

I vote this as the winning thread comment:

Changing the spelling of fatwa to phatwa would go a long way towards changing Islam's image.

Also, I would suggest replacing the Koran with something more recent. Say, the January 1973 issue of National Lampoon, for example.

I linked to another story about these guys a few days ago:  Shilling for Small Time Terrorists

Side note, in the book Suki I, the world is generally at peace, most of the current bad actors have discovered productive commerce and our military is generally advising on peacekeeping operations.

Looks like a few more exellent comments came in on the Reason blog:

I read it, to the end.

As for our Salt Lake teenager . . . Maybe not "jihad" in the usual way, but there are several disturbing indicators. Seems he was wearing a miniature Quran around his neck at the time of the shooting (a detail that somehow escaped disclosure until recently) and shortly before the shootings he'd bragged about his grandfather being "part of the jihad."

http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2009/05/2.html

If I'm not mistaken, his cousin "Omerovic" was also jailed for sending threatening jihadic letters to US officals. . . . "Death to US, death to Israel" stuff. Here's the most complete run down I've seen. Mentions eveything except the miniature Quran, which was (apparently) DELIBERTATELY withheld from the media. Wonder why?

"let's just call it 'violent religious extremism' in all media from here on out."-isildur

While we're at it we can call violent Marxist movements "violent atheist movements".

The DC sniper is another example of domestic attack by Muslim since 9-11.
One of the attacks that has been foiled since 9-11 was an plot by some Bosnian Muslims to attack a US army base. Their motivation was anger at the US for NOT intervening to stop the massacre of Bosnians by Serbs in the 90s. If we intervene the jihadis are mad cause we intervene, if we don’t they're mad anyway. My opinion is one more attack in the US on the scale of 9-11 and the gloves will come off. Radical Islam contains the seeds of its destruction.

Back to the Islam slogans...
"Islam, it's a blast!"

I suggest going to the Reason comments section and reading the rest :)
