Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: Iranian artist gets five years in jail for "musical Qur\'an"

Rapping the Qur'an. Definitely would fit the definition of "rap crap".

'...social scientific awareness...' Oh, my; Sotomayor by another name? And how in the world can one clearly see the spade through such a filter?

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: 140 slain as Muslims riot in China

Mon, 6 Jul 2009 23:31:05 +0000

I actually clipped a news account on June 28th of the event leading up to this unrest, thinking to myself, "let people know what the Uighurs really are, not just what the idiots at 60 Minutes, with their mollycoddling of them, say they are". (The incident was started after a Han Chinese girl entered a dormitory where Uighur workers were staying. [They] tried to harrass her, and she screamed.' - from AP story.)

Why, thank you, APF. And dang; wonder where I can get me some o' those crackers? I'll have to check the Wisconsin Underground Network when next I'm back home.

Ha,ha! I thought the same thing, duh swami - "what, he's back again?" - but you've put it so much better.

Thank you, tartine. Yup; traveling through some areas of Brooklyn one is revolted by the overwhelming feeling that you're in a Third World Middle Eastern country.

Funny, just an hour or so I was ruminating about how I wish the Islamists would get seriously entangled with either the Russians or the Chinese, Americans having become totally emasculated <strike that>, neutralized by PC & our so-called intelligentsia. And then I stumble upon this post by Robert. Didn't someone say "be careful what you wish for..."? LOLOLOL!

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: CAIR: Muslims to offer Qurans to 100,000 American leaders

Fri, 26 Jun 2009 20:23:47 +0000

Those freebie Qur'ans should come complete with the Sunna, for a complete education. While they're at it, each "leader" should received a pocket edition of The Constitution of the United States. Those can be had for as little as $1.50 each, in bulk, should CAIR be interested. http://www.catostore.org/index.asp?fa=ProductDeta...

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: Netanyahu breaks off US-Israel talks in Paris over settlements issue

Yes. Even an old Israeli soldier of my acquaintance says the same - and said it YEARS ago. And he's not even remotely libertarian in his views.

'I don't see where Allah is doing him much good... ' Classic, duh swami. Could be said about most of the "Believers", I think.

Sit quietly for a minute and imagine, really magine, the depth of his family's heartache. My heart bleeds for them.

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: First Saudi woman minister cannot appear on TV without permission

Tue, 9 Jun 2009 02:39:25 +0000

OT, but there's been much discussion on JW recently of the state of mind of those who follow Islam. How's this one? http://www.nypost.com/seven/06072009/news/regiona... Guess Mr. Hanley ("Yaduallah") hasn't yet figured out that "Allah knows best", what with being a convert and all. [There's that jailhouse taint again.] How long before CAIR steps in to shephard his lawsuit? Hmm....what will their schtick be; that Hanley won't be, ah...."good enough" for his heavenly virgins?

Me too. Not only that, I said something that caused the same result (can't for the life of me figure out the why of it). Methinks Robert has hired a "newbie" admin, yet to prove himself.

Ah, but I detected a bit of chest there between her hijab & shirt. What must the punishment be for that?

Excellent ruling. But it looks like the heavy lifting is still to come. I'll try to be optimistic.

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: Egypt: Two Copts rearrested, face extrajudicial decision from "reconciliation council"

'...two of three monks briefly kidnapped were tortured. ' In November they were sent to El Wadi El Gadid Detention Camp near the Egypt-Sudan border and tortured as authorities tried to extract a false confession of murder, their lawyer said. The two men have faced extreme conditions in prison such as solitary confinement and broken teeth from beatings...' Where is the international outrage? What's that you say? Not exactly waterboarding? Yes, I see....

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: Nashville: Muslim group shuts down conference featuring Geert Wilders

Very interesting information, indeed. Did Negri make the decision on his own, based on his own beliefs, as implied above? If so, perhaps your whole post should be sent to Loews Corporate Headquarters, CNN SUX. If they weren't even aware of it, they should be. Perhaps Mr. Negri would lose his job. Wouldn't that be sweet?

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: "These are people who were eager to bring death to Jews and the Jewish community"

I must say I'm surprised, and gratified, to find mainstream reporting on this latest piece of news which actually mentions some of the dreaded words: 'Investigators say the four men, who are Muslim, 'met in prison and allegedly hatched their plot at a local mosque. 'After the Cromitie and the informant got to know each other in the mosque, Cromitie told the informant that he wanted to "do jihad," according to the FBI.' http://wcbstv.com/topstories/terror.plot.temple.2... Wow! "Muslim", "hatched a plot in a mosque", and "jihad" in print for all to see and think about. Will the writers get hauled in for "re-education", do you think?

Jihad Watch : Jihad Watch: Spencer: Feminists Betray Muslim Women

Thu, 21 May 2009 12:19:24 +0000

So I Google Saba Mahmood to find out a little more about her. I read the Wikipedia page, just for kicks, and find: 'She is and the author of Politics of Piety: The Islamic Revival and the Feminist Subject (2005). In this book she theorizes the concept of habitus from a genealogy that begins with Aristotle and extends into the Islamic tradition. She thinks of ethics as a type of armature that a female subject forms by submitting to body practices. Through these body practices, such as weeping, praying five times a day, attending mosque, women internalize ethical systems. Mahmood notes that their submission is not quietude; rather, Female subjects of the Islamic Mosque Movement in Egypt "act out" their criticisms and amendments to Islamic law and liturgy. Mahmood emphasizes that practice, and not simply ideology, is to be noted when examining non-western modes of human agency.' What was that again? Academic gobbledy-gook reigns supreme, I see. What crap. We the People are getting fed up.
