In your effort to show how clever you are you completely miss the point (and inadvertently you also end up providing apologetics for defending the evil doctrines of Islam).
Please name one homicide bomber that was inspired to murder by Christianity? Or name one mainstream Christian Church that said that murder in the name of Christianity is morally good in the 21st Century? you can't, because a central doctrine of Christianity is "Vengeance in mine, sayeth the Lord". That is, Christians have no doctrinal right to revenge and cannot assert over non-Christians.
This is completely different to Islam, which not only asserts Sharia over all non-Muslims, but commands that Muslims enact revenge and jihad if they are able.
So, by trying to assert moral equivalence (something the political Left always tries to do, and clearly you are emulating) you are trying to indicate that Christianity is as bad as Islam. This is simply not true. Christianity has many many flaws (and, in fact, is anti-scientific and massively self-contradictory man-made fiction, but we won't get into that now) but modern Christianity is positively angelic compared to the "anti-Christ" nature of *mainstream* Islamic doctrine. Note by Islam as "anti-Christ", I mean that whatever Christ/Christianity teaches Islam and Mohammed almost always command the opposite: eg. "Thou shalt not bear false witness" [no lying] in Christianity is explicitly countered by Islam's doctrines of *mandatory* lying in the form of taqiyya, tawriya, muruna and kitman (). In Christianity sexual immorality is prohibited and Christ set an example of "continence", whereas Mohammed had sex with 8 year old (9 lunar years) Aisha, have multiple wives and slaves (including sex slaves), committed rape and permitted others to do the same. I hope you get the picture.
Your sophistry using moral equivalence is an immoral thing to do - you are wittingly or unwittingly defending Islamicists who commit murder around the globe (see http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ for the daily facts of the carnage). Please don't do that. Instead of trying to appear clever, how about you instead use your keyboard to defend the human rights and liberty of all those killed, maimed and oppressed by political Islam? that would be a better use of your talents, would it not? you may have to learn about the true nature of Islam - be careful, the taqiyya thrown out obfuscates things - this site is as truthful as any: http://www.jihadwatch.org/.
Yes, they say it daily. The Muslims around the world certainly understand what is going on - they gloat about the coming Caliphate and what they will do to Free People.
The abuse that Israel is under is coming to all non-Muslim countries until they submit to Sharia. Note that even after a country becomes Muslim the violence doesn't stop, it actually gets worse as different Islamic sects are then free to slaughter each other without restraint (eg. see Pakistan, or Afghanistan, or Syria etc). As long as Israel stands it will be the shield of the rest of the world (that's what the symbol of their national flag is, ""Magen David", the Shield of David). All free nations need to stand together against the coming Caliphate (an Islamic political entity that will subvert the culture of and then subjugate nations one-by-one).
Democrats and Left-wingers, I urge you to start looking at the *facts* of what is going on, rather than following your *emotions* about what you think may be going on. The conservatives may have realised the nature and aims of political Islam earlier than you, but if you keep an open mind those same conservatives will try to give you the facts as they understand them. Islam's declared aim is to remove the Human Rights and liberties of all Free People and subjugate them under Sharia. If you think conservatives are the enemy then you are not seeing or thinking clearly. Islam is the enemy of all Free People.
See the facts of the number of killings going on *daily* by Islam (mostly Muslim on Muslim violence). The violence is caused by commandments in the Qur'an, not what the US or Israel has done (as the Left and Islamicists lie to you ad infinitum - to throw you off the true scent of their totalitarian aims until it is too late): http://www.jihadwatch.org/ http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
Actually, to fight jihadis you can do several things:
1) a kinetic war, which attracts the 'moths to the flame' and thins their numbers
2) designate Islam for what it is, a political movement with superstitious aspects, not a personal faith. That means the Islamic political hate creed is no longer protected speech as religious speech is.
3) get governments around the world that actually believe in standing up for liberty for all people. Get rid of the politically correct weaklings that infest the EU and US.
4) stop paying the UN and its Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) voting bloc for making up rules in the Human Rights Council that works to condemn liberal democracies and promote anti-Free Speech blasphemy laws.
5) Enact legislation that makes it clear that foreign laws will never be adopted. Fortunately some states of the US are adopting such laws. Europe and the rest of the civilized world needs to follow suit.
6) increased surveillance of mosques. A recent survey of US East Coast mosques found around 80% had islamicist hate speech material (that is, mainstream Islamic material).
7) prevent activist judges from setting precedent that trumps native law by Sharia-compliant laws. Many judges aim to show how progressive they are yet undermine the existing legal system with foreign laws
8) stop 'culture' as being a used as a defence for youths commiting crimes around the world (eg. the rape of women by Muslims in Sweden, Denmark, Australia, and the rape gangs in the UK).
9) stop the leftists and islamic propaganda being taught in US schools
10) prevent the proselytization by imams in prisons. This is a big source of recruits.
11) vote for politicians that have the balls to stand up to bully regimes like Iran and North Korea (both routinely threatening neighbours with utter annihiliation).
12) increase stricter immigration laws and quotas
13) have no fear in ejecting hate preachers. At the moment places like the UK cannot even expel evil hate preachers. Remember who the sovereign power is - make and enforce laws like men, not like pussy whipped weaklings afraid of criticism.
14) strengthen Free Speech laws. The right to offend is important. In an ethnically diverse society someone will always be offended by what someone else says. As long as it is not hate speech, nor immediate incitement to violence then offensive speech should always be allowed.
15) hold police to criminal charges when they enforce Sharia-compliant laws (eg. the corrupt police in Dearborn).
16) repeal all blasphemy laws world-wide and reject UN HRC Resolution 16/18 (shamefully co-sponsored by the thoroughly incompetant Hiliary Clinton).
17) hold media to account for false reporting, through fines for slander (eg. the Owen Jones' of the BBC falsely reporting aspects of the Gaza conflict in 2009 and 2012).
There is a lot that can be done without expelling anyone. If the war against Islam is to be won (and it needs to be, it is clear it is a fight to the death) then the US needs to win the *ideological* battle. At the moment many citizens of the Free World (and supposedly well-informed people on Slashdot) either don't know or are in denial about the facts of the nature and aims of Islam. This bombing is only the start. The US cannot placate Islam with appeasement. The US will have to learn the lessons the Israelis did - you are hated because the Qur'an commands that all non-Moslems be hated and subjugated. Therefore, you will only survive if you are in a position of strength. At the moment the US is gradually being islamicized. It is a slow process so many US citizens not only don't notice, they foolishly and mistakenly see counter-jihadists as some kind of bigots - when it is only their own ignorance that prevents them from seeing the truth that the counter-jihadists are trying to point out.
Remember Americans and Europeans, the Middle East was once Jewish and Christian with no Muslims. If Isl
Correct. It is political Islam that motivates them far far more than the actions of the West. It is best to stop listening to the narrative of the political Left and left-leaning mainstream media that blames the West, US and Israel. The fact is that jihadis are motivated by the *mainstream* doctrines of Islam (calling it "extremism" shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what Islam actually commands - but then the media and politicians are usually even more ignorant than many in the public).
The problem is the US is lying to itself. It kills what it thinks are "extremists" when in fact it should be going after the *mainstream* Islamic ideology that calls for jihad. The Free World is losing the fight because most people are in denial about the true (evil!) nature of the political system called Islam.
1. Fox News is probably already in the process of finding a way to blame Barack Obama.
Assuming this was a jihadi attack then the Obama Administration is to blame. It has purged all association between Islamic jihad and terrorism from the Department of Defence, FBI, CIA etc. No wonder, The Administration is *thoroughly* penetrated by the Muslim Brotherhood (as even the Egyptians attest to: http://www.investigativeproject.org/3869/egyptian-magazine-muslim-brotherhood-infiltrates)
It turns out that Fox appears to be telling the truth about the threat of jihad in the US. The Left and Leftist media have done a very very good job of keeping you in the Matrix so that you don't see what is going on. Hence, this attack is a surprise, as was the attack in Benghazi (which has been covered up by Obama - notice that not one of the 30+ survivors have been permitted to speak - because it would ruin the pro-Islamicist agenda of the Obama Administration).
Wake up global citizens. Islam is making war on you, *every day*. Their motivation for this is the Qur'an, hadiths and sira. Nothing the US or Israel has done or will do will change this. Islam is determined to make you submit to their political system. This is a fight to the death between the 21st Century and the medieval Islamicists. Appeasement won't work.
Let us assume that the act is due to a jihadi. The solution is clear, strike at the *ideology* of jihadis. At the moment the US is fighting a war on jihadi terrorism but completely ignoring (or, under the Obama Administration, suppressing) the *facts* about Islamic ideology that grows these jihadis. Just wait for the media to start using the words "extremist" which is a complete lie - jihad is a mainstream and central tenet of Islam. Until the US is honest about the problem it is facing it will never win. At the moment the Us is on a course to becoming progressively Islamicised under the guidance of Leftist "political correctness". Until the US tells the truth about Islamic teachings it cannot win the important war - the *ideological* one. Once the US properly understands the teachings of Islam as Muslims believe them (not as Western apologists do) then the Free World has a chance of surviving the coming Caliphate.
And the terrorists aren't just doing it to senselessly kill people - they are usually trying to (whether accurately or not) protect thousands or millions of people from threats they perceive.
Utterly and completely false. By making excuses for jihadis *you* are aiding an abetting evil. The reasons the jihadis *say* they kill westerners is because the Qur'an commands them to (go and look up Sura 9:5 and 9:25 and all the other evilness in the Qur'an). They have been doing this for 1400 years, long before the US existed, or drones were invented, or the Jews who lived continuously in Palestine declared a State under League of Nations and later UN auspices. By promoting the false narrative of the political Left and allied Islamicists you are excusing and enabling evil. Please stop it as your statements don't match the historical facts, the declared statements of the jihadis, nor the statements that a moral person would make (there is *zero* justification for this attack - apart from those that follow the evil totalitarian political ideology called Islam). Stop supporting evil!
In that case, where is your citation that the "women and children" were not in the same compound as jihadis (which actually makes them unfortunate, but legitimate casualties). Note that many claimed casualties in Afghanistan have been found to be things like donkeys killed near the jihadis. It is worthwhile for villagers to do this as NATO pays handsomely for any civilians killed. There is simply no moral comparison to be made between the war crime of the jihadi tactics of war (deliberately targeting civilians) and the NATO waging of war (killing civilians that the jihadis and Taliban mix with deliberately; because they care less about civilians than NATO does). While your view may be popular (especially among the uniformed and anti-Western political Left) it is not correct.
Your statement is a mistake. Given the person being held is a young Saudi man (as in a jihadi) we can give a probable guess as what his motivations are. These are the same motivations that jihadis have been using for 1400 years - long before drones, or the US, or (modern) Israel. The motivation can be summed up in the Qur'an, particularly Sura 9:5 "The Verse of the Sword" and associated commentaries: http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/swordverse.htm
Please also note Sura 9:29
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
The non-Muslim world may not have been at war with Islam, but Islam has *always* felt it was at war with the non-Muslim world (as stated in their teachings if you ever care to read them). Islamic apologists will lie to you about this (using one of the disgusting doctrines that Islam uses to permit lying: taqiyya, kitman, muruna. and tawriya). But the truth is the vast majority of Muslims agree with the goal of Islam, to bring Islam to the whole world (through any means necessary - including jihad).
So stop putting the blame on the victim. It is disgusting and immoral. When the "Caliphate" is re-established it will get much much worse. Nothing the US can do can prevent the coming fight to the death between the evil political ideology called Islam and those who seek to defend Human Rights as we know them, Liberty and Free World. Choose your sides!
The Taliban use rape, suicide bombing, shooting girls wanting education, killing teachers, killing aid workers,killing health workers, preventing polio vaccination (which would wipe out the disease in the area, since it has nearly been eradicated from the world apart from other islamists in Nigeria), export of jihadi terrorism, etc etc So yes, while both the Taliban and Northern Alliance are evil, the Taliban are *far far more evil*.
Oh yeah - since you threw out the words "cognitive dissonance" without ever understanding that it is you that is afflicted by it, I would suggest you listen to the wise words of the Syrian, Wafa Sultan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcm873G94jo
Which part of "I can't really be bothered to dig through all of your cognitive dissonance and other bullshit." did you not understand?
Ah, you can't refute so instead you "hit n run". You make some assertion about cognitive dissonance yet provide *zero* evidence. You do provide some value in clarifying some minor points but carefully skirt around the main thesis.
If you had provided some more references I would have been pleased to follow them all - and would hope you would do the same and check the veracity of the references I'd provided. You never know, you might have actually learned something - or taught me something (if you could indeed back up your unverified claims).
Bye bye. You had the perfect opportunity to teach someone your point of view, and debate from there. Instead you act like Mr Grumpy. Quite typical of your average supremacist.
Actually the "mujahideen" supported in the War in Afghanistan became the "Northern Alliance". These guys fought and defeated the Taliban (created and supported by Pakistan) with the help of a few hundred US Special Forces. While the Northern Alliance are no saints they are also not nerly as evil as the Taliban or Al Qaeda.
So please stop with the bullshit that Al Qaeda or Taliban were "manufactured" by the US. It is simply not true. The US simply aided one evil group to wage a proxy war on another even-more-evil group.
After much dithering the current US Administration has finally woke up to the fact that aiding either side in Syria today is a lose-lose proposition (after the US supplied heavy weapons by proxy and then they turned up in the Al Qaeda "Al Nusra" group's arsenal). The best strategy is the current one, sit it out and wait for both sides to pound each other to dust. Meanwhile, the US is training relatively secular Sunni forces in Jordan to fight Al Nusra once Assad finally falls (which is pretty inevitable). Meanwhile, Hezbollah in Syria are at odds with Hamas in Syria. This is completely shit for the Syrian people, but IMHO it is better to let the jihadis get killed in the honeypot they created themselves than intervene and create a bigger mess.
I do care. Sorry, I wasn't aware of that. I will add it to my list of crimes. As I tried to say, the biggest victim of Islam are *Muslims*. That's why we have to free everyone from this barbaric ideology.
First there's this problem of there being ONLY ONE Bosnian Muslim division
I stand corrected, there was one *Bosnian* SS division but Two *yugoslavian* SS divisions. The other being the (Muslim) Albanian Skanderbeg 21st Waffen SS division http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_Waffen_Mountain_Division_of_the_SS_Skanderbeg_%281st_Albanian%29
So I concede you are correct. Only one *Bosnian* Muslim SS Division - but you must concede that I'm correct that there were *two* Muslim SS Divisions (zero would have been a better number of SS divisions of any nationality, don't you think?).
I am also corrected in my "hundreds of thousands" of statement. On further research the number is one hundred thousand "to a first order approximation" (78,000). Note that as part of the carnage I'm not only counting direct massacres, but also the rounding up and deportation to concentration camps. Or is all of that "ok with you" just because the Muslim ideology was no worse than the Nazi ideology (as in: totalitarian socialism, with genocidal aims against Jews and oppression of all moral Free People willing to speak out) ? Don't use that excuse, only evil people justify the slaughter in that way.
Please also note that I take pains to mention the trouble is with the doctrines of Islam, not with Muslims (who are enslaved by it). I do note that you never contest the Suras I presented which clearly call for genocide. Would you care to agree with me that they clearly call for genocide? and that these Suras are used today to justify rape and murder on a large scale today? could you please point to a Sura that abrogates 9:5? you can't, can you? you are quibbling about things around the edges while denying the reality of my core thesis - Islam commands Genocide. This is different from Christian Churches, who have also committed all sorts of crimes in the past, but the Christian *mainstream* is completely against genocide. Meanwhile Islam is still hell-bent on the genocide of Jews and the global subjugation of all non-Muslims into the Muslim political order. We both know this to be true.
While I haven't been to Bosnia nor Serbia I do get at least one side of the Kosovo story from a Serbian friend that I talk with daily. Of course he has a particular slant on events, but at least I have a local information source. While we are at it, I will state that the actions of Republika Srpska in Bosnia were wrong (and yes, bordering genocidal) - just so you know my views are independent of that friendship.
So we can dance around the numbers and whether the motivation of the Yugoslavian SS divisions was nationalism or religion (or both). However we can gauge your morality with a couple of quick yes or no questions:
Do you agree with the actions of the Muslim components of the Yugoslavian SS Divisions? yes or no?
Do you believe in conducting genocide of Jews and killing, conversion or subjugation of all non-Muslims in accordance with Sahih Muslim, 41:6985 and Suras 9:29? yes or no? (see the *lots* of commands for evil: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1094048/pg1)
Do you agree that the Qur'an makes fighting obligatory ("fard") for all Muslim males once they reach sufficient strength to overcome the non-Muslims, as attested to in numerous Sura and hadith? yes or no? see http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Jihad_is_Compulsory_(Fard)
Of course, if you are a true Muslim you answered "yes" to all these questions. If you answered "no" to any of them (eg. as a secular person would) then you are an "apostate" and you will be killed just as soon as a devout Muslim can manage it (eg. if the rest of your family is devout).
Ok, you can try argue, "That's all history. It was World War II and everyone was at it". Well, if genocide is not a core part of Islamic Doctrine how do you excuse the *Grand Mufti* of Jerusalem calling for
Man, this has me conflicted. A bunch of crazy Christians fighting with a bunch of crazy Muslims! I can't stand either of them.
Yes, they are both crazy. However, in this case the Christians are right and the Muslims are wrong, as I will discuss...
Did those Christians really have to walk in there and be annoying?
No, but they have the Constitutional First Amendment right to do so. They were not promoting hate speech, and the charges laid against them were fabricated (as they prove - which meant the cops should be dismissed for gross misconduct). Only an authoritarian would even question their right to do what they did. No one questions the right of Muslims to speak freely in their dawa efforts at christian venues, yet it is an arrestable offense for a christian to do the same? in the USA? The correct answer to your question (as defined by the First Amendment and subsequent challenges) is "yes, it is always permissible for someone to speak freely, even if someone finds the speech offensive". What is not permitted is hate speech for immediate incitement to violence. This is clearly not the case. Hence, you should be very troubled that the police in Dearborn are implementing Sharia-compliant speech restrictions, that the mainstream media are indulging in politically correct and Sharia-compliant self-censorship, and that the current US Administration has a policy of censoring the manuals used by the Department of Defence and the FBI where someone who shouts "Allahu Akbar!" and slaughters 13 US service personnel on a US base cannot be called a jihadi. Here is Stephen Coughlin's analysis on how the US is slowly being neutered in opposing jihadis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey-TRpkUiPI
Why is that neutering happening, because the White House is full of Muslim Brotherhood affliates: http://www.investigativeproject.org/3869/egyptian-magazine-muslim-brotherhood-infiltrates http://muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com/
Why aren't you being told this?
As Voltaire said, "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.". Political correctness is a python that is the enemy of Free Speech. Over time it constricts and progressively censors what you may or may not say. PC now prohibits criticism of Islam in much official US discourse and will eventually affect private discourse too (unless something is done to halt the Leftist politically correct and Islamist Sharia agenda which restricts Free Speech so their totalitarian goals cannot be opposed by Free Men):
Islamophobia: Thought Crime of the Totalitarian Future http://frontpagemag.com/2012/david-horowitz-and-robert-spencer/islamophobia-thought-crime-of-the-totalitarian-future-4/
Wait... was this public property or private?
Public, dude. You cannot exercise any Free Speech rights in Dearborn if a Muslim doesn't want to hear it - and the (Muslim) cops will enforce this by trumping up charges (which video testimony clearly show is false), and then alter their statements numerous times once they realize video shows they are lying. Is Dearborn the future you want for America? to be a controlled citizen (called a "dhimmi") in your own country?
I've been looking at replacing my MacBook Pro with a non-Mac. The reason for this is that MacBooks are weak in the Video RAM (VRAM) department (the thing that actually makes a difference in gaming these days) and I'm like more than 1 GB of RAM. A Retina Display with high pixel count also makes the limited VRAM of the Mac even worse. I also *loathe* glossy screens.
The Alienware machines are ok. The big problem for me is the fact that the ones I can buy online are either 14 inch or 17 inch form factors. No 15 inch form factor (which is what I'd like).
Alternatives for my high-end purposes are the HP/Compaq and Dell Precision lines of professional laptops. Unfortunately these are horrifically expensive and suffer from the fact they have Quadro graphics cards. While Quadros are great for OpenGL (which is what I'm writing my modern jet air combat simulator in) the problem is that updating drivers for these on a mobile system is not always easy. Generally they get fewer driver updates than consumer mobile graphics chipsets. I intend putting Linux Mint Cinnamon on my new laptop, so having a mainstream GPU solves a lot of hassles.
After evaluating all these I was lucky enough to stumble across a little-known vendor in the US (called Origin PC) that builds mobile workstation class laptops with the things I want:
* up to 4 GB of Video RAM
* consumer-grade or pro-grade (Quadro) mobile GPU, configurable by you
* up to 32 GB of RAM at reasonable bus speed
* Quad Core
* a multitude of form factors, including 15"
* 1080p display, non-glossy
* very very reasonably priced (compared to the HP/Compaqs and Dell Precisions with *lower specs*; I guess a small outfit like Origin can keep costs down by not supporting the huge corporate edifices of Dell & HP)
The reason Origin PC gets it right is that it was founded by a gamer, so he appears to have better taste than beancounters over what the high-end performance laptop market actually wants.
I'd really like to stick with my MacBook Pro but Apple are obsessed with thinness, shiny screens that look great in brochures (but are crap to work with day-in day-out), and battery life (like that matters in a performance laptop) rather than what power users actually need. There is supposed to be an Apple refresh in June but unless they change direction I think this will be another big disappoint for mobile workstation fans. I'm glad I found the Origin PC line - I'm just not looking forward to going back from Mac OS X (stable and "just works") to Linux (fragmented and takes time to tweak and keep operational).
It is very good of Dell to offer Ubuntu on their machines. Too bad they are actually overpriced and only medium power (compared to the equivalent Origin PC machines I looked at).
Fantastic post! Hopefully we'll get through to some of our fellow Slashdotters that they are being lied to, not by a cabal of Jews, but by their enemies the "Red-Green" Leftist-Islamist Alliance (who then go to make up stories about anything that stymies their agenda, eg. Jewish promotion of equal rights for all citizens regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation in their part of Palestine).
Fellow Slashdotters the Truth is out there - please just be aware that much of what the mainstream media doesn't omit is an inversion of what is really happening. The historical facts and current events show that anyone who has an interest in preventing genocide should not be enabling, supporting, excusing or apologizing the totalitarian, theocratic political ideology of Islam in any way. Only by standing against Islam can you protect Enlightenment Liberties and free the Muslims trapped under its oppression. Like the socialist Soviet Union, Islam will also collapse if the truth is pointed out about it. Then we will all be free and much of the killing and hate in the world will cease to be legitimized by this evil ideology.
The parent was right. Why do you think the Left and leftist media completely ignore the genocides happening *today*. These are happening and you are completely unaware of them. Why? because the Left don't want you to know. If you care to look you can see:
The Islamic genocide against Assyrian Christians in Iraq. Most Assyrians have fled and the rest have been killed. Don't blame this on the US invasion of Iraq. It happened under Saddam. Now under democracy (as in, "mob rule") the pace has accelerated, but the motivation is the same. Sura 9:5 "The Verse of the Sword". See http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/swordverse.htm Did you know this?
The Sudanese Islamist genocide against animist and Christian Southern Sudanese. Jihadi raids still occur and non-Muslims are taken as *slaves* (as permitted under Sharia). This is happening *today*. See the testimony of Simon Deng (a former slave).
The call for genocide against Jews, as commanded by the Qur'an. See the following article for all the reasons the Qur'an and Palestinians give for killing Jews based on *mainstream* Islamic doctrine: http://palwatch.org/main.aspx?fi=584 Note that anyone who supports the Islamist cause against Israel is unwittingly supporting this genocidal agenda. The Israelis are not the aggressors (as the historically ignorant often believe). The Jews have been living in Palestine *continuously* for over 3000 years (the Roman expulsions were temporary, and only from Jerusalem). The modern State of Israel is trying to *defend* its citizens from the *aggression* and schemes of the 57 Muslim Majority countries in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (although countries like Azerbaijan get on well with Israelis, and after many attempted genocides Jordan now has working relations). Anyone who thinks the Arabs are the victims simply doesn't know the genocidal agendas of Hamas and Hezbollah (hint, look for the hate speech in the Hamas Charter: http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/www.thejerusalemfund.org/carryover/documents/charter.html). When Hamas talks about "Occupied Territories" they mean killing, expelling, or enslaving all non-Muslims in *all of Israel*.
The expulsion, killing, and denial of rights to Serbs in northern Kosovo by Albanian Muslims. This is happening today. Did you know that?
The genocides between Sunni and Shia branches of Islam, and the Sunni+Shia attacks on more peaceful Sufis. This is happening *today* in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Turkey (against Kurds), Pakistan as Islamic sect battles Islamic sect (with the aim of expelling the "apostate" sects): See: http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ particularly http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/index.html#Attacks
We won't even talk about the historical genocides of approximately one million Armenians by Turkish jihadis in 1915, or the hundreds of thousands slaughtered by the two Bosnian Muslim SS divisions in World War II (raised by the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Amin_al-Husayni - the bastard who told Hitler the idea of the "Final Solution", stating "Who remembers the Armenians").
Then we have the genocides soon to come. The persecution and subjugation of Christian Copts in Egypt. Now that Obama installed the Muslim Brotherhod the life of Copts is going from bad (as dhimmis) to worse. Bad stuff is happening to the Copts *every day*. And the media and leftist "human rights" organizations are mostly silent (with a few exceptions). Did you know all the bad stuff happening to Copts today? http://www.amnes
I'm sure some superstitious Islamists will take it a green rock as a sign from Allah. The crazy stories/claims that emerge should be amusing.
ps. for those that don't know, green is the color of Islam (and in other cultures in ages past, of demons and Satan himself; although its all anti-scientific and conrtadictory superstitious nonsense; just letting ya know the trivia).
Some good points but some barely masked anti-Semitic libels in there too. I'm surprised the forged falsehood "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" didn't make it in your wee rant.
You do know that the territories of Judea and Samaria (called the "West Bank" when illegally occupied by the Jordanians from 1948-1967) are disputed territory, yes? the last clear cut owner was the Ottoman Empire followed by the British Mandate granted by the League of Nations. Here's a discussion of the historical legalities for you to chew on: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub2x5UvjUs4
The territory was supposed to be settled by negotiation but de-facto ownership has been established by Israel gaining territory after being attacked in several wars by multiple opposing armies.
ps. the Arab Ummah has plenty of land. The fight is not about land. Yasser Arafat (an Egyptian terrorist born in Cairo, not a "Palestinian") btw and other PLO members stated such. Here's are little known citations from an Arabic scholar laying out the PLO's position and the fiction created to justify their intended genocide. At least the PLO tell the truth, the political far-Left provide a false historical narrative to match their view. Please see slides 6 to 13 (or even better, everything) of the following presentation quoting the PLO movers and shakers: http://www.al-rassooli.com/palestine/slide-06.html
The land of Palestine is tiny and the Arabs have plenty of other countries to live in as Muslims. They want to destroy all of Israel in the great genocide commanded in the Qur'an. That has been their goal for 1400 years, and after some time off (thanks to the Crusades pushing back, a heavy defeat in Vienna in *9/11* 1683 [ever wonder why that date is special?] and later colonial powers), they are now getting back into the swing of things. They convinced the Soviet Communists, their allies and assorted Leftists to help them (here's a nice video explaining how this came about in the UN: ). You are getting sucked into supporting genocide because you lack the knowledge of the history of the region. I suggest you get up to speed on history before you come on Slashdot with libelous anti-Semitic falsehoods: they simply don't match the objective historical record (although they do match the historical revisionist propaganda that the Left have been inculcating into the youth of the US and West).
So, if you think the Israelis have control over US policy I suggest you ask yourself why Netenyahu had to publicly humiliate himself trying to get the rest of the World to act on the Iranian nuclear programme. I mean, the Iranians state daily "Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the West" and are working on a *capability* of nuclear weapons (if not the weapons themselves). Yet somehow the Israelis are perceived as having undue control. Yet when the Saudis have a problem with a country they do not have to publicly humiliate themselves in the same way - a quite word to a Texan oilman or his successor and threats go away (Saddam threatened Saudi in 1991 after Kuwait, capturing Khafji; while Israel is a hated enemy of Iran the Iranian arch-enemy is actually Saudi Arabia).
So, yes, Israel does have influence over US politics. There are a great many countries and lobbies that do - all struggling to get the upper hand. However, recent events and revelations have shown that the current Leftist/collectivist/statist Obama Administration has been most influenced not by Israel, but by Israel's enemies. Israel seeks to influence US policy but does not fundamentally seek to alter the laws and culture of the US or Western World. The Muslim Brotherhood and Organization for Islamic Cooperation, are busy at work changing how the youth of the West are educated, ensuring that any criticism of Islam and Mohammed are met with "Days of rage" which gets blamed on the people practicing Free Speech rather than the violent rioters
You are saying that the movie they are trying to supress is true? News to me...
Yes, the "Innocence of Muslims" movie has crap production values but it is more accurate to the Islamic texts than most Hollywood movies are to even recent historical events. The reason that Hollywood doesn't get its facts straight is the same reason news reports with a bias and your elites lied to you about the assault on the embassy in Benghazi and have don't their damnedest to keep you from hearing more about it or thinking about it (the media covered with lots of distractions at the time). The reason is because Hollywood, the US mainstream media and the current Administration all have a "Narrative" about Islam and what is going on in the World and they are trying very hard to suppress any facts, evidence or speakers that go against that Narrative.
You see, the Leftist narrative is that Muslims commit jihad against the West are forced into extreme measures because they are poor, downtrodden, poorly educated etc. That fits in with the Leftists notions of "huddled masses" they they must fight to free. The reality is that the jihadis that attack the West are usually better educated, monied and privileged than their peers. What is driving them is Islam. The media's narrative is that these are "extremists". In on sense it is true, most Muslims are good people and do not do jihad (thank the FSM), but on the other hand this is a complete lie - the interpretation that the jihadis are taking is not extreme in any way, it is the *mainstream* interpretation of Islam that all four Sunni schools of jurisprudence, the Sunni school and people like Osama bin Laden all agree on. All faithful Muslims agree that jihad is a duty of every devout Muslim, it is just that most don't practice it (often they simply send money to the more vigorous guys).
This sounds bizarre when you first hear it. But it turns out this is the truth about Islam (so please, don't shoot the messenger, me for telling the truth). What is interesting is not that Islamists are obfuscating their anti-liberty aims, but that the political Left and academia are aiding and abetting them. They use character assassination to try and silence anyone telling the truth (eg. see the recent book documenting this: http://frontpagemag.com/2013/jamie-glazov/bullies-how-the-lefts-culture-of-fear-and-intimidation-silences-america/). Isn't it interesting how news and spin is being used to generate a perception that counters the reality of the facts?
I do have one positive thing to say about the Obama Administration. After the disaster in Benghazi (although why have none of the 30 survivors been able to speak freely?) I think the Administration has started to realise that the Muslim Brotherhood advisors in the White House have been giving bad advice and as a result the US has been harming liberty rather than helping it. I think the Administration finally realise that they can't be nice to jihadis (eg. like the ones they were arming in Libya, before they slipped the leash of the US) and expect a measure of control. The Administration has woken up and now opposes arming the Syrian Opposition in Syria. While the US still wants Assad out (he's a bad tyrant) they will not provide dangerous heavy weaponry any more (some of it has already ended up in the hands of the Al Nusra outfits; which are basically Al Qaeda).
So you must ask yourself, irrespective of your political views, why aren't my elected representatives and mainstream media telling me this? Why are they *actively* suppressing the truth: eg.
Slashdot Mirror
In your effort to show how clever you are you completely miss the point (and inadvertently you also end up providing apologetics for defending the evil doctrines of Islam).
Please name one homicide bomber that was inspired to murder by Christianity? Or name one mainstream Christian Church that said that murder in the name of Christianity is morally good in the 21st Century? you can't, because a central doctrine of Christianity is "Vengeance in mine, sayeth the Lord". That is, Christians have no doctrinal right to revenge and cannot assert over non-Christians.
This is completely different to Islam, which not only asserts Sharia over all non-Muslims, but commands that Muslims enact revenge and jihad if they are able.
So, by trying to assert moral equivalence (something the political Left always tries to do, and clearly you are emulating) you are trying to indicate that Christianity is as bad as Islam. This is simply not true. Christianity has many many flaws (and, in fact, is anti-scientific and massively self-contradictory man-made fiction, but we won't get into that now) but modern Christianity is positively angelic compared to the "anti-Christ" nature of *mainstream* Islamic doctrine. Note by Islam as "anti-Christ", I mean that whatever Christ/Christianity teaches Islam and Mohammed almost always command the opposite: eg. "Thou shalt not bear false witness" [no lying] in Christianity is explicitly countered by Islam's doctrines of *mandatory* lying in the form of taqiyya, tawriya, muruna and kitman (). In Christianity sexual immorality is prohibited and Christ set an example of "continence", whereas Mohammed had sex with 8 year old (9 lunar years) Aisha, have multiple wives and slaves (including sex slaves), committed rape and permitted others to do the same. I hope you get the picture.
Your sophistry using moral equivalence is an immoral thing to do - you are wittingly or unwittingly defending Islamicists who commit murder around the globe (see http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/ for the daily facts of the carnage). Please don't do that. Instead of trying to appear clever, how about you instead use your keyboard to defend the human rights and liberty of all those killed, maimed and oppressed by political Islam? that would be a better use of your talents, would it not? you may have to learn about the true nature of Islam - be careful, the taqiyya thrown out obfuscates things - this site is as truthful as any: http://www.jihadwatch.org/.
Hell they even say that they will do it!
Yes, they say it daily. The Muslims around the world certainly understand what is going on - they gloat about the coming Caliphate and what they will do to Free People.
The abuse that Israel is under is coming to all non-Muslim countries until they submit to Sharia. Note that even after a country becomes Muslim the violence doesn't stop, it actually gets worse as different Islamic sects are then free to slaughter each other without restraint (eg. see Pakistan, or Afghanistan, or Syria etc). As long as Israel stands it will be the shield of the rest of the world (that's what the symbol of their national flag is, ""Magen David", the Shield of David). All free nations need to stand together against the coming Caliphate (an Islamic political entity that will subvert the culture of and then subjugate nations one-by-one).
Democrats and Left-wingers, I urge you to start looking at the *facts* of what is going on, rather than following your *emotions* about what you think may be going on. The conservatives may have realised the nature and aims of political Islam earlier than you, but if you keep an open mind those same conservatives will try to give you the facts as they understand them. Islam's declared aim is to remove the Human Rights and liberties of all Free People and subjugate them under Sharia. If you think conservatives are the enemy then you are not seeing or thinking clearly. Islam is the enemy of all Free People.
See the facts of the number of killings going on *daily* by Islam (mostly Muslim on Muslim violence). The violence is caused by commandments in the Qur'an, not what the US or Israel has done (as the Left and Islamicists lie to you ad infinitum - to throw you off the true scent of their totalitarian aims until it is too late):
http://www.jihadwatch.org/
http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/
There is a lot that can be done without expelling anyone. If the war against Islam is to be won (and it needs to be, it is clear it is a fight to the death) then the US needs to win the *ideological* battle. At the moment many citizens of the Free World (and supposedly well-informed people on Slashdot) either don't know or are in denial about the facts of the nature and aims of Islam. This bombing is only the start. The US cannot placate Islam with appeasement. The US will have to learn the lessons the Israelis did - you are hated because the Qur'an commands that all non-Moslems be hated and subjugated. Therefore, you will only survive if you are in a position of strength. At the moment the US is gradually being islamicized. It is a slow process so many US citizens not only don't notice, they foolishly and mistakenly see counter-jihadists as some kind of bigots - when it is only their own ignorance that prevents them from seeing the truth that the counter-jihadists are trying to point out.
Remember Americans and Europeans, the Middle East was once Jewish and Christian with no Muslims. If Isl
Correct. It is political Islam that motivates them far far more than the actions of the West. It is best to stop listening to the narrative of the political Left and left-leaning mainstream media that blames the West, US and Israel. The fact is that jihadis are motivated by the *mainstream* doctrines of Islam (calling it "extremism" shows a fundamental lack of understanding of what Islam actually commands - but then the media and politicians are usually even more ignorant than many in the public).
The problem is the US is lying to itself. It kills what it thinks are "extremists" when in fact it should be going after the *mainstream* Islamic ideology that calls for jihad. The Free World is losing the fight because most people are in denial about the true (evil!) nature of the political system called Islam.
1. Fox News is probably already in the process of finding a way to blame Barack Obama.
Assuming this was a jihadi attack then the Obama Administration is to blame. It has purged all association between Islamic jihad and terrorism from the Department of Defence, FBI, CIA etc. No wonder, The Administration is *thoroughly* penetrated by the Muslim Brotherhood (as even the Egyptians attest to: http://www.investigativeproject.org/3869/egyptian-magazine-muslim-brotherhood-infiltrates)
It turns out that Fox appears to be telling the truth about the threat of jihad in the US. The Left and Leftist media have done a very very good job of keeping you in the Matrix so that you don't see what is going on. Hence, this attack is a surprise, as was the attack in Benghazi (which has been covered up by Obama - notice that not one of the 30+ survivors have been permitted to speak - because it would ruin the pro-Islamicist agenda of the Obama Administration).
Wake up global citizens. Islam is making war on you, *every day*. Their motivation for this is the Qur'an, hadiths and sira. Nothing the US or Israel has done or will do will change this. Islam is determined to make you submit to their political system. This is a fight to the death between the 21st Century and the medieval Islamicists. Appeasement won't work.
Let us assume that the act is due to a jihadi. The solution is clear, strike at the *ideology* of jihadis. At the moment the US is fighting a war on jihadi terrorism but completely ignoring (or, under the Obama Administration, suppressing) the *facts* about Islamic ideology that grows these jihadis. Just wait for the media to start using the words "extremist" which is a complete lie - jihad is a mainstream and central tenet of Islam. Until the US is honest about the problem it is facing it will never win. At the moment the Us is on a course to becoming progressively Islamicised under the guidance of Leftist "political correctness". Until the US tells the truth about Islamic teachings it cannot win the important war - the *ideological* one. Once the US properly understands the teachings of Islam as Muslims believe them (not as Western apologists do) then the Free World has a chance of surviving the coming Caliphate.
And the terrorists aren't just doing it to senselessly kill people - they are usually trying to (whether accurately or not) protect thousands or millions of people from threats they perceive.
Utterly and completely false. By making excuses for jihadis *you* are aiding an abetting evil. The reasons the jihadis *say* they kill westerners is because the Qur'an commands them to (go and look up Sura 9:5 and 9:25 and all the other evilness in the Qur'an). They have been doing this for 1400 years, long before the US existed, or drones were invented, or the Jews who lived continuously in Palestine declared a State under League of Nations and later UN auspices. By promoting the false narrative of the political Left and allied Islamicists you are excusing and enabling evil. Please stop it as your statements don't match the historical facts, the declared statements of the jihadis, nor the statements that a moral person would make (there is *zero* justification for this attack - apart from those that follow the evil totalitarian political ideology called Islam). Stop supporting evil!
In that case, where is your citation that the "women and children" were not in the same compound as jihadis (which actually makes them unfortunate, but legitimate casualties). Note that many claimed casualties in Afghanistan have been found to be things like donkeys killed near the jihadis. It is worthwhile for villagers to do this as NATO pays handsomely for any civilians killed. There is simply no moral comparison to be made between the war crime of the jihadi tactics of war (deliberately targeting civilians) and the NATO waging of war (killing civilians that the jihadis and Taliban mix with deliberately; because they care less about civilians than NATO does). While your view may be popular (especially among the uniformed and anti-Western political Left) it is not correct.
Your statement is a mistake. Given the person being held is a young Saudi man (as in a jihadi) we can give a probable guess as what his motivations are. These are the same motivations that jihadis have been using for 1400 years - long before drones, or the US, or (modern) Israel. The motivation can be summed up in the Qur'an, particularly Sura 9:5 "The Verse of the Sword" and associated commentaries:
http://www.answering-islam.org/Silas/swordverse.htm
Please also note Sura 9:29
Fight those who do not believe in Allah or in the Last Day and who do not consider unlawful what Allah and His Messenger have made unlawful and who do not adopt the religion of truth from those who were given the Scripture - [fight] until they give the jizyah willingly while they are humbled.
The non-Muslim world may not have been at war with Islam, but Islam has *always* felt it was at war with the non-Muslim world (as stated in their teachings if you ever care to read them). Islamic apologists will lie to you about this (using one of the disgusting doctrines that Islam uses to permit lying: taqiyya, kitman, muruna. and tawriya). But the truth is the vast majority of Muslims agree with the goal of Islam, to bring Islam to the whole world (through any means necessary - including jihad).
So stop putting the blame on the victim. It is disgusting and immoral. When the "Caliphate" is re-established it will get much much worse. Nothing the US can do can prevent the coming fight to the death between the evil political ideology called Islam and those who seek to defend Human Rights as we know them, Liberty and Free World. Choose your sides!
The Taliban use rape, suicide bombing, shooting girls wanting education, killing teachers, killing aid workers,killing health workers, preventing polio vaccination (which would wipe out the disease in the area, since it has nearly been eradicated from the world apart from other islamists in Nigeria), export of jihadi terrorism, etc etc So yes, while both the Taliban and Northern Alliance are evil, the Taliban are *far far more evil*.
When stuff like the following happens, as it has been for 1400 years, one does not have to be a genius to see the future for Copts in Egypt. You sneer at me, but by doing so you are aiding an abetting the following intolerance. Do you want to be an evil person?:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2013/04/coptic-christians-under-siege-as-muslim-mob-attacks-cairo-cathedral.html
Oh yeah - since you threw out the words "cognitive dissonance" without ever understanding that it is you that is afflicted by it, I would suggest you listen to the wise words of the Syrian, Wafa Sultan:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hcm873G94jo
Which part of "I can't really be bothered to dig through all of your cognitive dissonance and other bullshit." did you not understand?
Ah, you can't refute so instead you "hit n run". You make some assertion about cognitive dissonance yet provide *zero* evidence. You do provide some value in clarifying some minor points but carefully skirt around the main thesis.
If you had provided some more references I would have been pleased to follow them all - and would hope you would do the same and check the veracity of the references I'd provided. You never know, you might have actually learned something - or taught me something (if you could indeed back up your unverified claims).
Bye bye. You had the perfect opportunity to teach someone your point of view, and debate from there. Instead you act like Mr Grumpy. Quite typical of your average supremacist.
Actually the "mujahideen" supported in the War in Afghanistan became the "Northern Alliance". These guys fought and defeated the Taliban (created and supported by Pakistan) with the help of a few hundred US Special Forces. While the Northern Alliance are no saints they are also not nerly as evil as the Taliban or Al Qaeda.
So please stop with the bullshit that Al Qaeda or Taliban were "manufactured" by the US. It is simply not true. The US simply aided one evil group to wage a proxy war on another even-more-evil group.
After much dithering the current US Administration has finally woke up to the fact that aiding either side in Syria today is a lose-lose proposition (after the US supplied heavy weapons by proxy and then they turned up in the Al Qaeda "Al Nusra" group's arsenal). The best strategy is the current one, sit it out and wait for both sides to pound each other to dust. Meanwhile, the US is training relatively secular Sunni forces in Jordan to fight Al Nusra once Assad finally falls (which is pretty inevitable). Meanwhile, Hezbollah in Syria are at odds with Hamas in Syria. This is completely shit for the Syrian people, but IMHO it is better to let the jihadis get killed in the honeypot they created themselves than intervene and create a bigger mess.
I do care. Sorry, I wasn't aware of that. I will add it to my list of crimes. As I tried to say, the biggest victim of Islam are *Muslims*. That's why we have to free everyone from this barbaric ideology.
First there's this problem of there being ONLY ONE Bosnian Muslim division
I stand corrected, there was one *Bosnian* SS division but Two *yugoslavian* SS divisions. The other being the (Muslim) Albanian Skanderbeg 21st Waffen SS division
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/21st_Waffen_Mountain_Division_of_the_SS_Skanderbeg_%281st_Albanian%29
So I concede you are correct. Only one *Bosnian* Muslim SS Division - but you must concede that I'm correct that there were *two* Muslim SS Divisions (zero would have been a better number of SS divisions of any nationality, don't you think?).
I am also corrected in my "hundreds of thousands" of statement. On further research the number is one hundred thousand "to a first order approximation" (78,000). Note that as part of the carnage I'm not only counting direct massacres, but also the rounding up and deportation to concentration camps. Or is all of that "ok with you" just because the Muslim ideology was no worse than the Nazi ideology (as in: totalitarian socialism, with genocidal aims against Jews and oppression of all moral Free People willing to speak out) ? Don't use that excuse, only evil people justify the slaughter in that way.
Please also note that I take pains to mention the trouble is with the doctrines of Islam, not with Muslims (who are enslaved by it). I do note that you never contest the Suras I presented which clearly call for genocide. Would you care to agree with me that they clearly call for genocide? and that these Suras are used today to justify rape and murder on a large scale today? could you please point to a Sura that abrogates 9:5? you can't, can you? you are quibbling about things around the edges while denying the reality of my core thesis - Islam commands Genocide. This is different from Christian Churches, who have also committed all sorts of crimes in the past, but the Christian *mainstream* is completely against genocide. Meanwhile Islam is still hell-bent on the genocide of Jews and the global subjugation of all non-Muslims into the Muslim political order. We both know this to be true.
While I haven't been to Bosnia nor Serbia I do get at least one side of the Kosovo story from a Serbian friend that I talk with daily. Of course he has a particular slant on events, but at least I have a local information source. While we are at it, I will state that the actions of Republika Srpska in Bosnia were wrong (and yes, bordering genocidal) - just so you know my views are independent of that friendship.
So we can dance around the numbers and whether the motivation of the Yugoslavian SS divisions was nationalism or religion (or both). However we can gauge your morality with a couple of quick yes or no questions:
Do you agree with the actions of the Muslim components of the Yugoslavian SS Divisions? yes or no?
Do you believe in conducting genocide of Jews and killing, conversion or subjugation of all non-Muslims in accordance with Sahih Muslim, 41:6985 and Suras 9:29? yes or no? (see the *lots* of commands for evil: http://www.godlikeproductions.com/forum1/message1094048/pg1)
Do you agree that the Qur'an makes fighting obligatory ("fard") for all Muslim males once they reach sufficient strength to overcome the non-Muslims, as attested to in numerous Sura and hadith? yes or no? see http://wikiislam.net/wiki/Jihad_is_Compulsory_(Fard)
Of course, if you are a true Muslim you answered "yes" to all these questions. If you answered "no" to any of them (eg. as a secular person would) then you are an "apostate" and you will be killed just as soon as a devout Muslim can manage it (eg. if the rest of your family is devout).
Ok, you can try argue, "That's all history. It was World War II and everyone was at it". Well, if genocide is not a core part of Islamic Doctrine how do you excuse the *Grand Mufti* of Jerusalem calling for
Man, this has me conflicted. A bunch of crazy Christians fighting with a bunch of crazy Muslims! I can't stand either of them.
Yes, they are both crazy. However, in this case the Christians are right and the Muslims are wrong, as I will discuss ...
Did those Christians really have to walk in there and be annoying?
No, but they have the Constitutional First Amendment right to do so. They were not promoting hate speech, and the charges laid against them were fabricated (as they prove - which meant the cops should be dismissed for gross misconduct). Only an authoritarian would even question their right to do what they did. No one questions the right of Muslims to speak freely in their dawa efforts at christian venues, yet it is an arrestable offense for a christian to do the same? in the USA? The correct answer to your question (as defined by the First Amendment and subsequent challenges) is "yes, it is always permissible for someone to speak freely, even if someone finds the speech offensive". What is not permitted is hate speech for immediate incitement to violence. This is clearly not the case. Hence, you should be very troubled that the police in Dearborn are implementing Sharia-compliant speech restrictions, that the mainstream media are indulging in politically correct and Sharia-compliant self-censorship, and that the current US Administration has a policy of censoring the manuals used by the Department of Defence and the FBI where someone who shouts "Allahu Akbar!" and slaughters 13 US service personnel on a US base cannot be called a jihadi. Here is Stephen Coughlin's analysis on how the US is slowly being neutered in opposing jihadis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ey-TRpkUiPI
Why is that neutering happening, because the White House is full of Muslim Brotherhood affliates:
http://www.investigativeproject.org/3869/egyptian-magazine-muslim-brotherhood-infiltrates
http://muslimbrotherhoodinamerica.com/
Why aren't you being told this?
Don't vote for Hiliary Clinton in 2016 if you value your liberty and Constitutional rights. Besides her vanity and incompetence she he chief assistant is Muslim Brotherhood affiliate Huma Abedin:

As Voltaire said, "To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.". Political correctness is a python that is the enemy of Free Speech. Over time it constricts and progressively censors what you may or may not say. PC now prohibits criticism of Islam in much official US discourse and will eventually affect private discourse too (unless something is done to halt the Leftist politically correct and Islamist Sharia agenda which restricts Free Speech so their totalitarian goals cannot be opposed by Free Men):
Islamophobia: Thought Crime of the Totalitarian Future
http://frontpagemag.com/2012/david-horowitz-and-robert-spencer/islamophobia-thought-crime-of-the-totalitarian-future-4/
Wait... was this public property or private?
Public, dude. You cannot exercise any Free Speech rights in Dearborn if a Muslim doesn't want to hear it - and the (Muslim) cops will enforce this by trumping up charges (which video testimony clearly show is false), and then alter their statements numerous times once they realize video shows they are lying. Is Dearborn the future you want for America? to be a controlled citizen (called a "dhimmi") in your own country?
I've been looking at replacing my MacBook Pro with a non-Mac. The reason for this is that MacBooks are weak in the Video RAM (VRAM) department (the thing that actually makes a difference in gaming these days) and I'm like more than 1 GB of RAM. A Retina Display with high pixel count also makes the limited VRAM of the Mac even worse. I also *loathe* glossy screens.
The Alienware machines are ok. The big problem for me is the fact that the ones I can buy online are either 14 inch or 17 inch form factors. No 15 inch form factor (which is what I'd like).
Alternatives for my high-end purposes are the HP/Compaq and Dell Precision lines of professional laptops. Unfortunately these are horrifically expensive and suffer from the fact they have Quadro graphics cards. While Quadros are great for OpenGL (which is what I'm writing my modern jet air combat simulator in) the problem is that updating drivers for these on a mobile system is not always easy. Generally they get fewer driver updates than consumer mobile graphics chipsets. I intend putting Linux Mint Cinnamon on my new laptop, so having a mainstream GPU solves a lot of hassles.
After evaluating all these I was lucky enough to stumble across a little-known vendor in the US (called Origin PC) that builds mobile workstation class laptops with the things I want:
* up to 4 GB of Video RAM * consumer-grade or pro-grade (Quadro) mobile GPU, configurable by you * up to 32 GB of RAM at reasonable bus speed * Quad Core * a multitude of form factors, including 15" * 1080p display, non-glossy * very very reasonably priced (compared to the HP/Compaqs and Dell Precisions with *lower specs*; I guess a small outfit like Origin can keep costs down by not supporting the huge corporate edifices of Dell & HP)
The reason Origin PC gets it right is that it was founded by a gamer, so he appears to have better taste than beancounters over what the high-end performance laptop market actually wants.
Anyway, if you are in the market for a non-glossy laptop with great video performance then I'd suggest taking a look at the customizable Origin laptops:
http://www.originpc.com/
http://www.originpc.com/gaming/laptops/eon15-s/ http://www.originpc.com/workstation/laptops/eon15-s-pro/
I'd really like to stick with my MacBook Pro but Apple are obsessed with thinness, shiny screens that look great in brochures (but are crap to work with day-in day-out), and battery life (like that matters in a performance laptop) rather than what power users actually need. There is supposed to be an Apple refresh in June but unless they change direction I think this will be another big disappoint for mobile workstation fans. I'm glad I found the Origin PC line - I'm just not looking forward to going back from Mac OS X (stable and "just works") to Linux (fragmented and takes time to tweak and keep operational).
It is very good of Dell to offer Ubuntu on their machines. Too bad they are actually overpriced and only medium power (compared to the equivalent Origin PC machines I looked at).
Fantastic post! Hopefully we'll get through to some of our fellow Slashdotters that they are being lied to, not by a cabal of Jews, but by their enemies the "Red-Green" Leftist-Islamist Alliance (who then go to make up stories about anything that stymies their agenda, eg. Jewish promotion of equal rights for all citizens regardless of gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation in their part of Palestine).
Fellow Slashdotters the Truth is out there - please just be aware that much of what the mainstream media doesn't omit is an inversion of what is really happening. The historical facts and current events show that anyone who has an interest in preventing genocide should not be enabling, supporting, excusing or apologizing the totalitarian, theocratic political ideology of Islam in any way. Only by standing against Islam can you protect Enlightenment Liberties and free the Muslims trapped under its oppression. Like the socialist Soviet Union, Islam will also collapse if the truth is pointed out about it. Then we will all be free and much of the killing and hate in the world will cease to be legitimized by this evil ideology.
Very, very interesting. Thanks for sharing some facts.

Did you know this?
Note that anyone who supports the Islamist cause against Israel is unwittingly supporting this genocidal agenda. The Israelis are not the aggressors (as the historically ignorant often believe). The Jews have been living in Palestine *continuously* for over 3000 years (the Roman expulsions were temporary, and only from Jerusalem). The modern State of Israel is trying to *defend* its citizens from the *aggression* and schemes of the 57 Muslim Majority countries in the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (although countries like Azerbaijan get on well with Israelis, and after many attempted genocides Jordan now has working relations). Anyone who thinks the Arabs are the victims simply doesn't know the genocidal agendas of Hamas and Hezbollah (hint, look for the hate speech in the Hamas Charter: http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/www.thejerusalemfund.org/carryover/documents/charter.html). When Hamas talks about "Occupied Territories" they mean killing, expelling, or enslaving all non-Muslims in *all of Israel*.
particularly http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/index.html#Attacks
I'm sure some superstitious Islamists will take it a green rock as a sign from Allah. The crazy stories/claims that emerge should be amusing.
ps. for those that don't know, green is the color of Islam (and in other cultures in ages past, of demons and Satan himself; although its all anti-scientific and conrtadictory superstitious nonsense; just letting ya know the trivia).
Some good points but some barely masked anti-Semitic libels in there too. I'm surprised the forged falsehood "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" didn't make it in your wee rant.
You do know that the territories of Judea and Samaria (called the "West Bank" when illegally occupied by the Jordanians from 1948-1967) are disputed territory, yes? the last clear cut owner was the Ottoman Empire followed by the British Mandate granted by the League of Nations. Here's a discussion of the historical legalities for you to chew on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ub2x5UvjUs4
The territory was supposed to be settled by negotiation but de-facto ownership has been established by Israel gaining territory after being attacked in several wars by multiple opposing armies.
ps. the Arab Ummah has plenty of land. The fight is not about land. Yasser Arafat (an Egyptian terrorist born in Cairo, not a "Palestinian") btw and other PLO members stated such. Here's are little known citations from an Arabic scholar laying out the PLO's position and the fiction created to justify their intended genocide. At least the PLO tell the truth, the political far-Left provide a false historical narrative to match their view. Please see slides 6 to 13 (or even better, everything) of the following presentation quoting the PLO movers and shakers:

The land of Palestine is tiny and the Arabs have plenty of other countries to live in as Muslims. They want to destroy all of Israel in the great genocide commanded in the Qur'an. That has been their goal for 1400 years, and after some time off (thanks to the Crusades pushing back, a heavy defeat in Vienna in *9/11* 1683 [ever wonder why that date is special?] and later colonial powers), they are now getting back into the swing of things. They convinced the Soviet Communists, their allies and assorted Leftists to help them (here's a nice video explaining how this came about in the UN: ). You are getting sucked into supporting genocide because you lack the knowledge of the history of the region. I suggest you get up to speed on history before you come on Slashdot with libelous anti-Semitic falsehoods: they simply don't match the objective historical record (although they do match the historical revisionist propaganda that the Left have been inculcating into the youth of the US and West).
So, if you think the Israelis have control over US policy I suggest you ask yourself why Netenyahu had to publicly humiliate himself trying to get the rest of the World to act on the Iranian nuclear programme. I mean, the Iranians state daily "Death to America, Death to Israel, Death to the West" and are working on a *capability* of nuclear weapons (if not the weapons themselves). Yet somehow the Israelis are perceived as having undue control. Yet when the Saudis have a problem with a country they do not have to publicly humiliate themselves in the same way - a quite word to a Texan oilman or his successor and threats go away (Saddam threatened Saudi in 1991 after Kuwait, capturing Khafji; while Israel is a hated enemy of Iran the Iranian arch-enemy is actually Saudi Arabia).
So, yes, Israel does have influence over US politics. There are a great many countries and lobbies that do - all struggling to get the upper hand. However, recent events and revelations have shown that the current Leftist/collectivist/statist Obama Administration has been most influenced not by Israel, but by Israel's enemies. Israel seeks to influence US policy but does not fundamentally seek to alter the laws and culture of the US or Western World. The Muslim Brotherhood and Organization for Islamic Cooperation, are busy at work changing how the youth of the West are educated, ensuring that any criticism of Islam and Mohammed are met with "Days of rage" which gets blamed on the people practicing Free Speech rather than the violent rioters
You are saying that the movie they are trying to supress is true? News to me...
Yes, the "Innocence of Muslims" movie has crap production values but it is more accurate to the Islamic texts than most Hollywood movies are to even recent historical events. The reason that Hollywood doesn't get its facts straight is the same reason news reports with a bias and your elites lied to you about the assault on the embassy in Benghazi and have don't their damnedest to keep you from hearing more about it or thinking about it (the media covered with lots of distractions at the time). The reason is because Hollywood, the US mainstream media and the current Administration all have a "Narrative" about Islam and what is going on in the World and they are trying very hard to suppress any facts, evidence or speakers that go against that Narrative.
You see, the Leftist narrative is that Muslims commit jihad against the West are forced into extreme measures because they are poor, downtrodden, poorly educated etc. That fits in with the Leftists notions of "huddled masses" they they must fight to free. The reality is that the jihadis that attack the West are usually better educated, monied and privileged than their peers. What is driving them is Islam. The media's narrative is that these are "extremists". In on sense it is true, most Muslims are good people and do not do jihad (thank the FSM), but on the other hand this is a complete lie - the interpretation that the jihadis are taking is not extreme in any way, it is the *mainstream* interpretation of Islam that all four Sunni schools of jurisprudence, the Sunni school and people like Osama bin Laden all agree on. All faithful Muslims agree that jihad is a duty of every devout Muslim, it is just that most don't practice it (often they simply send money to the more vigorous guys).
This sounds bizarre when you first hear it. But it turns out this is the truth about Islam (so please, don't shoot the messenger, me for telling the truth). What is interesting is not that Islamists are obfuscating their anti-liberty aims, but that the political Left and academia are aiding and abetting them. They use character assassination to try and silence anyone telling the truth (eg. see the recent book documenting this: http://frontpagemag.com/2013/jamie-glazov/bullies-how-the-lefts-culture-of-fear-and-intimidation-silences-america/). Isn't it interesting how news and spin is being used to generate a perception that counters the reality of the facts?
I do have one positive thing to say about the Obama Administration. After the disaster in Benghazi (although why have none of the 30 survivors been able to speak freely?) I think the Administration has started to realise that the Muslim Brotherhood advisors in the White House have been giving bad advice and as a result the US has been harming liberty rather than helping it. I think the Administration finally realise that they can't be nice to jihadis (eg. like the ones they were arming in Libya, before they slipped the leash of the US) and expect a measure of control. The Administration has woken up and now opposes arming the Syrian Opposition in Syria. While the US still wants Assad out (he's a bad tyrant) they will not provide dangerous heavy weaponry any more (some of it has already ended up in the hands of the Al Nusra outfits; which are basically Al Qaeda).
So you must ask yourself, irrespective of your political views, why aren't my elected representatives and mainstream media telling me this? Why are they *actively* suppressing the truth: eg.
ps: don't believe the Muslim Brotherhood are influencing the White House? Here's my evidence:
