Egyptian Comedian Arrested for telling Islamic Jokes
0For those who cheered the ouster of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, perhaps it’s time for some context. Under the Mubarak regime, and before that, the Sadat regime, an Egyptian comedian named Adel Imam has spent his career making jokes about his country’s leaders. Now, he has been sentenced to jail time for insulting Islam.
Via Reuters:
Imam, who has frequently poked fun at authorities and politicians of all colors during a 40-year career, has one month to appeal the sentence and will remain out of jail until the appeal process is concluded.
The sentence Wednesday evening came weeks after Islamists swept most seats in a parliamentary election. The case was brought by Asran Mansour, a lawyer with ties to Islamist groups, and had languished in court for months, judicial sources said.
Mansour accused the actor of offending Islam and its symbols, including beards and the Jilbab, a loose-fitting garment worn by some Muslims, the Egyptian news portal Ahramonline reported.
Among films and plays targeted by the lawyer were the movie “Morgan Ahmed Morgan” and the play “Al-Zaeem” (“The Leader”), the report said.
Imam was also handed a fine of 1,000 Egyptian pounds ($170) in absentia, the court document showed. He could not immediately be reached for comment.
Perhaps comedians like Bill Maher should be a bit more appreciative of the Christian / capitalist / free society that they live in.
Once again, however, the mainstream media that championed the ‘Arab Spring’ and the fall of Mubarak is conspicuously silent in the face of an Islamic tyranny it helped to facilitate all across the Middle East.
AUSTRALIA: “Islamic cultural laws tell us we have the right to rape young white girls because they look like sluts” [BareNakedIslam.com]

Four Paki Muslim scumbags gang rape a 13-year-old girl. One is already out on parole after only 8 years.
This is how other Paki child rapists were welcomed by their fellow prison inmates.
NINE MSN (H/T aussie106) Two brothers involved in a string of notorious gang rapes have been bashed in Goulburn Jail, with one left in a critical condition. The pair were set upon by eight inmates in the maximum security area of the prison at around 12.30pm yesterday and were repeatedly bashed and kicked.
One of the Pakistan-born brothers — who was identified only by initials in court — was taken to Canberra Hospital, where he remains clinging to life. The brothers’ crimes outraged the public, as did their conduct in court when they repeatedly mocked their victims and the judiciary.
One of their victims, Tegan Wagner — who was 14-years-old when she was raped by the gang — later faced her assailants in court.
Being a child rapist doesn’t bode well for Muslims in American jails either. A surveillance video shows a Muslim prisoner being beaten by a fellow inmate in an Idaho prison, as officers look on.
Infiltration DOJ pandering to Terror Front Group
0Imad Hamad is the Midwest Regional Director of the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC). Born in a refugee camp in Lebanon, Hamad is a suspected member of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), a Marxist-Leninist terrorist group which has carried out many terrorist attacks during its history – including the hijacking of four airplanes over the course of six days in 1970. According to political journalist Debbie Schlussel, the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service spent fully two decades in an effort to deport Hamad because of his terrorist connections.
In a 2002 news appearance, Hamad expressed support for a Palestinian Authority Television program which used puppets to promote hatred of Jews and Christians. For example, a boy can be heard singing: “When I wander into Jerusalem, I will become a suicide bomber.” Hamad described the program as “patriotic.”
Also in 2002, Hamad’s chapter of the ADC sponsored and endorsed the National Palestinian Student Conference of the Palestine Solidarity Movement. The keynote speaker at this conference was the North American head of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Sami Al-Arian.
At a 2003 awards banquet hosted by Michigan’s ADC, Hamad presented the organization’s “Attorney of the Year” award to Nabih Ayad. Ayad has given legal representation to several accused terrorists, including Omar Abdel Fatah Al-Shishani, who was accused of attempting to launder $12 million in phony bank checks to fund the terrorist organization al Qaeda.
When Israel released hundreds of Hezbollah prisoners in early 2004, Hamad openly celebrated the freedom of “the Heroes.”
Why have Egyptians Gone Wild? Look to Isaiah 19
0Egyptians Gone Wild!
Why?
It has nothing to do with a soccer game at Port Sayeed; it has everything to do with what the Bible predicted, particularly in Isaiah 19.
It is there that we see Egyptians gone wild.
Isaiah 19:2
“I will set Egyptians against Egyptians;
Everyone will fight against his brother,
And everyone against his neighbor,
City against city, kingdom against kingdom.
Isaiah 19:14
The Lord has mingled a perverse spirit in her midst;
And they have caused Egypt to err in all her work,
As a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
The Left and the Islamists Unite Again

By Theodore Shoebat
The rejection of General William Boykin to speak at West Point is an indication of this war between good and evil which has been occurring so conspicuously in front of our eyes. It is also significant to point out that the groups which had caused the contention against the general were Muslims and progressives united together.CAIR, or Council of American Islamic Relations, joined VoteVets.org and the Military Religious Freedom Foundation in protesting Boykin’s speech.
It is no coincidence that both leftists and Islamists have united together in this inquisition against general Boykin simply for the reason of his Christian faith, and his fearlessness in speaking of the Almighty; it is actually a shame that that they are a remnant of men such as himself left in this country. The words of Christ speak volumes, when observing a moment such as this, when he proclaimed that “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand?” (Matthew 12: 25-26) The side of the left and the Islamist have one common goal, and that is the obliteration of Christianity. And why should these two sides fight against each other, when they are such a perfect team, and their enemy, Christianity, poses such a threat and if of a stature which surpasses them immeasurably?

Report: Obama Administration ‘taking Iran’s side’
0It was known at the time; it has been known since. Hezbollah was behind and at the very least, involved, in the 1983 Marine barracks attack. In 2007, a federal judge even ruled that Tehran was on the hook for $2.65 Billion in damages for the deaths of US Marines who were murdered in Lebanon when a suicide bomber blew past a checkpoint and exploded his vehicle outside. Hezbollah is an arm of Iran, which makes this report from the World Tribune all the more disturbing.
President Barack Obama, in a bid to reconcile with the Teheran regime, has blocked legislation that would hold Iran accountable for the Hizbullah bombing that killed 241 U.S. Marines in 1983.
A survivors group has asserted that the administration is pressuring Democrats in Congress not to support a bill that would enforce massive judgements against Iran by the families of the Marines. In 2007, a U.S. federal district court judge found Iran liable for the Beirut bombing and ordered Teheran to pay $2.65 billion in damages.
“This administration talks a lot about sanctions, but we know Iran is watching this case closely and, astonishingly, Obama’s people are taking Iran’s side,” Lynn Smith Derbyshire, a lobbyist for the legislation, said.
These revelations come at an extremely peculiar time. As we reported just last month, Iran and Hezbollah were found guilty – by another federal US district Judge – of being behind the September 11th attacks.
One of Iran’s henchmen – Hadi al-Ameri – was even given the red carpet treatment by the Oval Office in December. Again, here is al-Ameri bowing to and kissing the hand of the Ayatollah:
Jihad making lives “Ruff” for Dogs in Europe; PETA Silent
0In the West, there is a saying about dogs being man’s best friend. They’re extremely loyal and they’re always thrilled to see you whenever you walk through the front door. In Europe, dogs have suddenly found themselves the targets of Jihad, particularly in the Netherlands and Spain.
A Dutch Muslim politician has called for a ban on dogs in The Hague, the third-largest city in the Netherlands.
Islamic legal tradition holds that dogs are “unclean” animals, and some say the call to ban them in Holland and elsewhere represents an attempted encroachment of Islamic Sharia law in Europe.
This latest canine controversy — which the Dutch public has greeted with a mix of amusement and outrage — follows dozens of other Muslim-vs-dog-related incidents in Europe. Critics say it reflects the growing assertiveness of Muslims in Europe as they attempt to impose Islamic legal and religious norms on European society.
The Dutch dustup erupted after Hasan Küçük, a Turkish-Dutch representative on The Hague city council for the Islam Democrats, vehemently opposed a proposal by the Party for the Animals (Partij voor de Dieren) to make the city more dog friendly.
Things appear to be worse in a certain Spanish city:
In Spain, two Islamic groups based in Lérida — a city in the northeastern region of Catalonia where 29,000 Muslims now make up around 20% of the city’s total population — asked local officials to regulate the presence of dogs in public spaces so they do not “offend Muslims.”
Muslims demanded that dogs be banned from all forms of public transportation including all city buses as well as from all areas frequented by Muslim immigrants. Muslims said the presence of dogs in Lérida violates their religious freedom and their right to live according to Islamic principles.
After the municipality refused to acquiesce to Muslim demands, the city experienced a wave of dog poisonings. More than a dozen dogs were poisoned in September 2011 (local media reports here, here, here, here and here) in Lérida’s working class neighborhoods of Cappont and La Bordeta, districts that are heavily populated by Muslim immigrants and where many dogs have been killed over the past several years.
Local residents taking their dogs for walks say they have been harassed by Muslim immigrants who are opposed to seeing the animals in public. Muslims have also launched a number of anti-dog campaigns on Islamic websites and blogs based in Spain.
Still awaiting word from PETA. Nothing yet. Will keep you posted.
Bearing False Witness for Political Gain
0I was smeared by CNN so I know exactly what the Koch brothers are going through. However, they appear to be getting smeared from someone higher up the food chain, according to former Solicitor General Theodore Olson.
Via WSJ:
How would you feel if aides to the president of the United States singled you out by name for attack, and if you were featured prominently in the president’s re-election campaign as an enemy of the people?
What would you do if the White House engaged in derogatory speculative innuendo about the integrity of your tax returns? Suppose also that the president’s surrogates and allies in the media regularly attacked you, sullied your reputation and questioned your integrity. On top of all of that, what if a leading member of the president’s party in Congress demanded your appearance before a congressional committee this week so that you could be interrogated about the Keystone XL oil pipeline project in which you have repeatedly—and accurately—stated that you have no involvement?
Consider that all this is happening because you have been selected as an attractive political punching bag by the president’s re-election team. This is precisely what has happened to Charles and David Koch, even though they are private citizens, and neither is a candidate for the president’s or anyone else’s office.
If Olson is right, the a violation of the 9th Commandment (Bearing False Witness) is being perpetrated against private citizens from inside the halls of power.
In his piece, Olson informs readers what the truth about the Koch Brothers is:
What Messrs. Koch do, in fact, is manage businesses that provide employment to more than 50,000 people in North America in legitimate, productive industries. They also give millions of dollars to medical researchers, hospitals and cultural institutions. Their biggest offense, apparently, is that they also contribute generously to nonprofit organizations that promote personal liberty and free enterprise, and some of those organizations oppose policies advocated by the president.
This is a must read.
If this decision is being made at the very top, it comes from a President of the United States who is himself a student of Saul Alinsky. In his defining work, Rules for Radicals, Alinsky was a clear proponent of ends-justifies-the-means thinking.
In fact, he wrote:
“The end is what you want, the means is how you get it. Whenever we think about social change, the question of means and ends arises. The man of action views the issue of means and ends in pragmatic and strategic terms. He has no other problem; he thinks only of his actual resources and the possibilities of various choices of action. He asks of ends only whether they are achievable and worth the cost; of means, only whether they will work. … The real arena is corrupt and bloody.” p.24
“The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive — but real — allies of the Haves…. The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means… The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be….” pp.25-26
“The third rule of ethics of means and ends is that in war the end justifies almost any means….” p.29
“The seventh rule… is that generally success or failure is a mighty determinant of ethics….” p.34
“The tenth rule… is you do what you can with what you have and clothe it with moral garments…. It involves sifting the multiple factors which combine in creating the circumstances at any given time… Who, and how many will support the action?… If weapons are needed, then are appropriate d weapons available? Availability of means determines whether you will be underground or above ground; whether you will move quickly or slowly…” p.36
It also bears mentioning that Alinsky dedicated Rules for Radicals to “Lucifer.”
There is a reason for the Commandment about not bearing false witness. It is sinful and it is evil.
UN Secretary-General visits Gaza, welcomed with Shoes and Rocks
0UN Secretary-General Ban ki-Moon took a trip to Gaza and while his convoy meandered through the streets, it was pelted with shoes and rocks.
Via Arutz Sheva:
An angry crowd hurled shoes and stones at United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s convoy as it entered Hamas-run Gaza on Thursday.
The crowd also struck the vehicles with signs bearing slogans accusing Ban of bias towards Israel, among others. No one was injured in the incident and the convoy simply pushed through the crowd and sped away. Ban is visiting the region to try to jumpstart the long-stalled peace process between Israel and the Palestinian Authority.
If Ban has bias toward Israel, can someone please show me where it is? Palestinians should be thanking him. He recently ordered a halt to all Israeli settlements.
Via the BBC:
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has said Israeli settlement building anywhere in occupied territory is illegal and must stop.
Mr Ban is in the Middle East to meet Israeli and Palestinian leaders and press them to resume peace talks.
Israel’s controversial announcement of plans to build 1,600 more homes in East Jerusalem has inflamed tensions in the region and between Israel and the US.
The Palestinian leadership has said the plan is an obstacle to resuming talks.
The truth is that the Palestinians have learned that the more they bully, the more they get what they want.
As for Ban ki-Moon, another lesson he should learn is that the only thing he can do that will prevent rocks from being thrown at his convoy when he visits Gaza is to call for the extermination of Israel. It’s called appeasement, about which Winston Churchill famously said:
Appeasement is feeding others to the crocodile in hopes that he will eat you last.
How will Ban respond? Will he continue feeding crocodiles or did he have his eyes opened?

Video: Egyptian official blames the United States / Israel for Deadly Soccer Riots
0First, some facts. The ‘Arab Spring’ resulted in an outcome that the Muslim Brotherhood desired – the ouster of Hosni Mubarak. The Obama administration was largely given credit for that ouster. At minimum, it called for Mubarak to step down. Nearly one year later, as the Muslim Brotherhood and the Egyptian military jockey for power, there was a soccer riot in Port Said, Egypt that resulted in the deaths of tens of people.
Via New York Times:
CAIRO — At least 73 people were killed in a brawl between rival groups of soccer fans after a match in the city of Port Said on Wednesday, the bloodiest outbreak of lawlessness since the ouster of President Hosni Mubarak one year ago.
The riot refocused attention on the failure of the transitional government to re-establish a sense of order and stability in the streets and threatened to provoke a new crisis for Egypt’s halting political transition. The deadliest soccer riot anywhere in more than 15 years, it also illuminated the potential for savagery among the organized groups of die-hard fans known here as ultras who have added a volatile element to the street protests since Mr. Mubarak’s exit.
Guess whose fault the riots are?
If you ask Egyptian PM Mustafa Bakri, those deaths should be laid at the feet of the United States and Israel.
Uh, yes, he said that.
