Bear of Submission

Islam means submission, and Muhammad is the prophet of Islam...

A defense lawyer says a British teacher has been found guilty of inciting religious hatred and sentenced to 15 days in prison and deportation from Sudan.

Gillian Gibbons went on trial earlier today for letting her students name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Gibbons walked in without handcuffs, wearing a dark jacket and blue skirt, according to reporters in the courtroom before media were ordered out of the chamber. Riot police surrounded the courthouse.

Muhammad is a common name among Muslim men, but giving the name of Islam's founder to an animal would be seen as insulting by many Muslims.

Associated Press

Sudan is a country the U.S. Department of State considers a partner in counter-terrorism. But not once in this linked press release does the U.S. Department of State mention the word "Islam" in relation to Sudan. It's no wonder in our war against Islamic terrorists, twenty-first century technology of the U.S. military is having little noticeable impact against terrorists. Our state department is incapable of recognizing the true enemy of civilization.

Islam is barbaric, draconian. Under the Sharia, countless innocents have faced cruel and unjust punishments, many resulting in death. In sending billions of dollars in U.S. foreign aid to countries like Sudan, the United States is inadvertently supporting Islamic terrorism.

It's time to wake up, America.

Militants or Police?

Reuters reports Israel killed Hamas police. But a day later, they were Hamas "fighters." Is Reuters that clueless or are they co-conspirators?

Maybe They, Too, Will Overcome

In Annapolis, Condoleezza Rice compared the Palestinian plight to that of blacks in the segregated south during the tumultuous 60's:

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice told a closed meeting of Arab and Israeli envoys in Annapolis this week that her childhood in the segregated U.S. south helped her to understand the plight of Palestinians and the fear felt by Israelis, the Dutch representative to the summit, Franz Timmermans, told the Washington Post on Thursday.

"I know what its like to hear that you can't use a certain road, or pass through a checkpoint because you are a Palestinian. I know what it is like to feel discriminated against and powerless," Rice was reported as saying.

So, the Palestinians are just innocent victims being discriminated against? Does this mean Rice believes Israelis should be compared to the white racists who perpetrated acts of violence against innocents? We mustn't have blind pandering without the compulsory, condescending, politically correct counter-balance:

Rice described her childhood in Birmingham, Alabama during the era of segregation and the killing of four young girls in the bombing of Birmingham's 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in 1963. Rice said the bombing, which killed one of her classmates, helps her understand the fear of terrorism felt by Israelis.

"Like Israelis, I understand what it's like to go to sleep not knowing if you will be hurt in an explosion, the feeling of terror walking around your own neighborhood, or walking to your house of prayer," Rice was quoted in the Washington Post as saying.

http://www.haaretz.com

You can't have it both ways, Ms. Rice. If both sides are victims, there is no aggressor.

I'm no authority on the civil rights movement, but I don't recall systematic violence being perpetrated by blacks against white southerners. I simply don't remember black militants committing atrocious acts of barbarity, with the support of surrounding black communities, against innocent civilians. I cannot recall any instance of black mobs lynching innocent whites, and then celebrating by feasting on the victim's internal organs (WARNING: Link Contains Graphic Imagery).

The fear of torture, mutilation or death cannot be compared to the inconvenience of entering a checkpoint. And yet, it seems the Bush Administration has ignorantly empowered one of the basic tenets of Islamic supremacy from the Qur'an itself. Persecution is worse than slaughter (Surah 2:191).

But They Had a Good Reason...

Muslims defend and excuse Islamic murderers:

A Kano state committee investigating the September 28 Muslim rampage in Tudun Wada Dankadai learned at public hearings that 19 Christians were killed, but it only reported three deaths in its interim report to state authorities.

The committee, made up of nine Muslims and three Christians, discovered from at least two official sources that 17 Muslims and Islamic preacher Isa Jihad were responsible for starting the violence, but in its report to the state government it sought to blame the disturbance on Christian students.

Inexplicably, in its report to state authorities earlier this month the committee stated that Christian students began the violent rampage when they supposedly became upset that one had converted to Islam.

The nine Muslims on the committee overruled protests by the three Christians against withholding the total number of deaths and actual causes from the state government, said the Rev. Murtala Marti Dangora, a member of the committee. The panel found that Islamic agitators burned down 10 churches, 36 houses belonging to Christians, and looted and destroyed 147 Christian-owned shops.

The committee also found that the Muslim rampage displaced 350 Christian families and that there is not a single house belonging to a Christian now standing in Tudun Wada Dankadai.

Muslim committee members held that they could report only three killings because the other 16 could not be officially identified. During the attack, 16 victims were buried in a common grave, while three corpses were identified by surviving family members were released to them.

“When we said we should reflect the fact that 19 Christians were killed in our report, the other members who are Muslims refused,” Rev. Dangora told Compass. “What could we have done when we were a minority?”

Compass Direct News

Christians were "upset." So what could the innocent Muslims do besides going on a bloody rampage killing as many non-believers as possible?

Snapped Shot On Annapolis

Brian at Snapped Shot has this from Annapolis:

Says the Ambassador of Saudi Arabia at the Annapolis summit:

Saudi Arabia's ambassador to the United States rejected recognizing Israel as a Jewish state.

"There are 1.5 million civilians in Israel who do not define themselves as Jewish," Adel al-Jubeir told reporters at the U.S.-convened Israeli-Palestinian peace talks in Annapolis, Md.

"We do not believe states should define themselves according to religion or ethnicity."

Says the Saudi Arabian constitution:

Article 1
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is a sovereign Arab Islamic state with Islam as its religion; God's Book and the Sunnah of His Prophet, God's prayers and peace be upon him, are its constitution, Arabic is its language and Riyadh is its capital.

http://www.snappedshot.com/archives/1396-Dissonance-in-Diplomacy.html

The Muslim hypocrisy never ceases to amaze.

While Israel Negotiates Peace, Islamic Terrorists Plot

(Hat Tip: Ron)

Hours before the start of the U.S.-backed Annapolis summit aimed at handing the West Bank to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' organization, Israel cracked down on a cell of leading Palestinians suspected of setting up a Hamas military arm for the terror group to take over the strategic territory, WND has learned.

Hamas leaders in recent weeks vowed their organization would seize the West Bank if Israel hands the territory to Abbas, just as Hamas seized the Gaza Strip last June, overtaking all U.S.-backed Fatah security compounds in less than one week.

The West Bank borders Jerusalem and is within rocket range of Tel Aviv and Israel's international airport.

WorldNet Daily

A lesson on Islam Israel needs to heed:

Hudna = A false truce or cease fire. Muhammad used this tactic to rearm before attacking an enemy. Hudna is frequently used by Islamic military forces.

Kosovo Muslims: No Talks, Just Give Us What We Demand

Translation: convert, submit, or die.

Leaders of the breakaway Serbian province of Kosovo will not negotiate the future status of the province after a December 10 UN deadline, its representatives said Tuesday after talks with Serbian officials.

"Kosovo is not ready to continue any sort of engagement after December 10," Skender Hyseni, a spokesman for the Kosovo delegation, told journalists on the second day of talks with Serbia on the province's future.

The ethnic Albanian dominated province, which has been ruled by the U.N. since an international campaign to end a Serbian crackdown in 1999, wants self-government but Serbia is refusing to let Kosovo go.

European Union, Russian and U.S. mediators are leading the latest talks and are to submit a report on Kosovo to U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on December 10, effectively ending negotiations between the two sides.

Why are Infidels so stubborn? Don't they realize an Islamic Caliphate is the future of our world? All Muslims want is the peace that will only come when non-Muslims finally convert, submit, or die.

Muslim Hypocrisy in Annapolis

The Saudi delegate at the Annapolis peace conference could only place blame on one party for the unrest in the Middle East:

"Peace emanates from the heart and mind, and not from the barrel of a cannon, or the exploding warhead of a missile," he said.

"The time has come for Israel to put its trust in peace after it has gambled on war for decades without success," he said.

http://news.yahoo.com

Apparently, according to Saudi Arabia, Islamic terrorism, suicide bombings, and the senseless slaughter of innocent civilians is an acceptable consequence of Israel's existence. The heart and mind of Muslims, after all, aspires for world peace - once the Kuffar bows to the will of Allah and either converts to Islam, submits to his Muslim masters, or dies. So you see, it isn't the Muslims who oppose peace. It's the Jews and Infidels who refuse to be enslaved.

British Teacher Arrested For Naming Teddy bear "Muhammed"

There is probably no toy worldwide that is more innocent than a cute cuddly Teddy Bear. But not to muslims. As part of a class project a British teacher's Sudanese class of young students named the stuffed tyke - Mohammed-and now the muslims officials in Sudan are outraged and see this as an insult to their Prophet and have arrested the teacher, 54 yr. old Gillian Gibbons, under "insult to faith and religion". She may even face 40 lashes for her "blasphemy".

Albania Children Protest Child Abuse and Slavery

Albania is majority Muslim. Is it any surprise that these 7th Century Savages™ condone or participate in child slavery? My guess is, most of these abused and exploited children are female, the "deficient" sex according to Muslim scholars.

One in two of Albania's children experience physical violence at home and one in three at school, according to UNICEF. Based on the 2006 report of the Ministry of Interior, last year in Albania there were some four hundred cases of child violence reported and around 50 of them resulted in the child's death.

In a press conference organized on November 19th World Vision as a member of the coalition against child violence, a coalition of a dozen local and international NGOs, appealed to the Albania government to take rapid actions in ratifying the convent against child abuse and child labor.

According to the Women's World Summit Foundation, every year over 1 million children are pulled into the sex trade, some 180 million are exploited for work and over 120 million will never go to school.

Hope Rides Alone

(Hat Tip: AFLACK)

Some last words of a soldier who died in Iraq. SGT. Edmund John Jeffers wrote this article as an appeal for support for our brave troops who daily face the destructiveness and devastations of war.

Excerpt from "Hope Rides Alone":

The enemy slinks in the shadows and fights a coward's war against us. It is effective though, as many men and women have died since the start of this war. And the memory of their service to America is tainted by the inconsiderate remarks on our nation's news outlets. And every day, the enemy changes... only now, the enemy is becoming something new. The enemy is transitioning from the Muslim extremists to Americans. The enemy is becoming the very people whom we defend with our lives. And they do not realize it. But in denouncing our actions, denouncing our leaders, denouncing the war we live and fight, they are isolating the military from society...and they are becoming our enemy.

Islamic Terrorists Planning Attacks in America

WASHINGTON (AFP) - Islamic radicals from Iraq and Afghanistan planned a terrorist attack on a US intelligence center that trains military interrogators for Guantanamo Bay and other detention centers, The Washington Times reported Monday.

Citing confidential law enforcement documents, the newspaper said the plot targeted Fort Huachuca, an Army base located next to the Arizona town of Sierra Vista, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) north of the US-Mexican border.

Last May, the base was forced to beef up security measures after commanders were warned that possibly as many as 60 Afghan and Iraqi radicals had been smuggled into the United States through underground tunnels built and manned by Mexican drug cartels, the report said.

http://news.yahoo.com

Still think border security isn't as important as defeating terrorism? Think again.

It took 19 terrorists to kill 3,000 Americans on 9/11. Those 19 terrorists dropped two skyscrapers and hijacked & crashed four airplanes. This report indicates up to three times as many Muslim terrorists have entered this country in recent months. This number doesn't include the conspirators who are already here providing support. Who owns the warehouses where the tunnels end? Muslims? Or the Mexican drug cartels? Perhaps the truth is even more nefarious.

America's weakness is our (lack of) border security. Until we can realistically address this, our country will always be at risk.

Annapolis - They Just Don't Get It

Washington says the hard work will begin only afterward, when Israelis and Palestinians must tackle the issues at the core of the conflict -- Palestinian refugee rights, Jerusalem, security and the borders of a future Palestine.

"This conference will signal international support for the Israelis' and Palestinians' intention to commence negotiations on the establishment of a Palestinian state and the realization of peace between these two peoples," Bush said in welcoming the two Middle East leaders who arrived over the weekend.

Midday Prayer Call Disregarded To Celebrate New Iraqi Cardinal

Gateway Pundit is reporting an incredible development in Iraq. Covering the Papal ceremony, which was carried on live television, Al-Iraqiyya TV skipped broadcasting the Muslim midday call to prayer in order to keep transmitting.

No progress in Iraq? This is proof enough for me that there is progress being made. From The Talisman Gate via Gateway Pundit:

Al-Iraqiyya TV’s caption for the event was ‘The Symbols of Iraq’ and at one point the camera focused on a man in the audience holding up the Iraqi flag just as Cardinal Delli was named.

It was a very moving ceremony, and it was especially refreshing to find Iraq’s official media highlighting the event and describing the Chaldean patriarch as a national ‘symbol’. The channel even skipped the Muslim midday call to prayer in order to keep transmitting the proceedings, which were conducted in Latin but were translated into Arabic by a presenter.

An Aceh woman being "corrected" under the Sharia.

Tourism authorities in Indonesia's Aceh province hope that its practice of Sharia or Islamic law will attract visitors.

"We invite international tourists to visit Aceh to observe how an Islamic community lives and how the Islamic code of Sharia is applied," said Cipta Hunai, an Aceh tourism official, in an interview with Adnkronos International (AKI).

...

Hunai said that Sharia allowed for the development of a peaceful and secure community in Aceh which would be appreciated by tourists. He said that Sharia law in Aceh was a tourist attraction because it allowed foreigners to see a reality, that perhaps, they did not already know.

"Here the tourists can visit many mosques and see how a community lives under laws based on the Koran," he said.

Hunai denied that public canings - which are allowed and used to punish some crimes - could shock and discourage non-Muslim tourists.

"We don't believe that this can scare anyone. In any case, the punishments are carried out to correct Muslims who have made mistakes," he said.

"But one must remember that these punishments are only applied to Muslims and here even the religious minority is respected," he added.

Corporal punishment is carried out in Aceh for crimes including the sale or consumption of alcohol, gambling or meeting a person of the opposite sex, that is not your husband, wife or family member, in a private place.

Expelled Jews hold property deeds on Arab lands

The issue of Jews expelled from the Arab nations is one that evades the memory of those in the Islamic world. It's a kind of selective amnesia. They desire a right of return for the "Palestinians", who left at the request of the Arab leaders, after they had decided to finish Hitler's job and wipe out those who escaped the holocaust, but at the same time deny any compensation to the decedents of some 850,000 Jews expelled from their property in the Arab nations, whose lost assets are now valued at more than $300 billion.

Heskel M. Haddad, president of the World Organization of Jews from Arab Countries is taking Israel's critics to task on the issue and adding that his organization has in it's possession, decades-old property deeds of Jews from Arab countries on a total area of 100,000 sq.km. - which is five times the size of the State of Israel.

I'm glad to see that somebody has stepped up and decided not to allow this double standard "right of return" demand to continue without demanding that the other side to this story, the story of Jews expelled from Arab countries and their property taken from them, be told to the world as well.

TROP Censor Responds

As reported earlier, several internet filtering companies have listed theReligionofPeace.com as a "hate" site. Below is a standard reply letter I received from Secure Computing Corporation. Others have reported receiving the exact same reply:

Thank you for your inquiry regarding the site’s categorization.

http://www.thereligionofpeace.com is a controversial site. Many people find it informative and want access to it, while many find it offensive and want to restrict access to it. While we hear from the public at both ends of the spectrum, we do our best to remain objective, and to cover the site in our list according to its content and according to our specific category definitions. Our customers’ filtering needs are then satisfied according to their own local policies and they can override to block or allow access at their discretion.

This site was analyzed and discussed at length by our Web Analyst team. There was an overwhelming agreement about the content of this site, that it meets specific category definitions. The site has a pervasive theme to expose violent acts perpetrated by Muslim extremists and asks that other Muslims should speak out against Muslim extremism. The site does not advocate discrimination, hate, or use of violence against Islam. But the site does use shocking material to convey its message, such as violent and horrific images. The images clearly meet our Violence category definition. The political views expressed within, as public controversy attests to, is in the outer limits and therefore meets our Political Opinion/Extreme category definitions. As with any site, we will modify the category ratings as the content changes. As this site has a fairly high profile, we will likely revisit the site frequently and re-review its status in our list.

Thank you.

TROP Turns 10,000!

With the Deadly Terrorist Attacks counter exceeding 10,000, theReligionofPeace.com celebrates its own milestone:

What a difference six years makes!

In the mind-numbing aftermath of 9/11, who would have guessed that within just a few years American politicians would be campaigning on promises to ensure the comfort of incarcerated terrorists... that Hollywood writers would be generating reams of scripts replete with noble Muslim characters persecuted by fictitious American bigots... that footbaths would be making their way into airports and public universities... or that Muslim travelers would be chasing lawsuit dollars by scaring the hell out of fellow airline passengers with deliberately provocative behavior.

Welcome to this brave, new world, where even Osama bin Laden must be shaking his head over the spasm of Western butt-kissing that follows high-profile Islamic terror. Each new attack in the name of Allah seems to bring a fresh round of public groveling to the religion that inspires it - even if we can count on one hand the number of Muslims courageously calling the Islamic world to accountability for the violence.

Yet, for all of the reward that Islam has reaped from 9/11, it is still losing the public relations battle. Favorable opinion of Islam has declined steadily in the last several years, as ordinary people have noticed the persistence of Muslim terror and (more importantly) the indifference and arrogance of the broader Islamic community.

For all of the stale, half-hearted pronouncements that Islam "has nothing to do" with the killing (usually made by individuals or organizations which don't otherwise seem all that concerned), the ugly truth is that it is the "radicals" who have Islam's history and holiest texts on their side. Thus the terror continues - now having reached 10,000 attacks since 9/11, as documented here.

In 1683, Muslim armies threatened to overrun Christian Europe after a thousand years of relentless Jihad. Their advance was stopped at the gates of Vienna by determined defenders, and Western civilization was free to enjoy three centuries of cultural and technological advancement.

Today the West is threatened again by Jihad. Allah's Holy Warriors may not choose to face us on the battlefield as men, but they seek domination through the appropriation of culture and acquiescent politicians. Shadowy terrorist groups emerge periodically to blow up commuters and office workers, while our leaders quickly assure us that it has nothing to do with Islam.

We are marching to dhimmitude and disaster, seduced by fifth column groups such as the Council on American-Islamic Relations, who work behind the lines, infiltrating our political and legal system and intimidating those daring to deny that Islam is The Religion of Peace. Their efforts are applauded by multiculturalists, today's 'useful idiots,' who don't understand the threat that Islam poses to their own freedom.

The Jihad is real. The stakes are enormous. Help us build the gates of Vienna for the digital age. Help support TheReligionofPeace.com and send the irrefutable warning that Islam is many things, but it is certainly not a Religion of Peace.

The Grim Milestone The Media Won't Report

That's 10,001 deadly Islamic terrorist attacks. At least one innocent life was cut short in each and every one of these acts; in some cases, dozens or even hundreds, were murdered.

The Grim Milestone the media won't report, and liberals won't acknowledge.

UPDATE: Yesterday, FrontPageMagazine.com wrote an article about the impending milestone, with a little information about TROP:

The establishment media is seemingly obsessed with “grim milestones” in the War on Terror, as the Associated Press reminds us this past weekend. But in the next week those same establishment media outlets will probably stand mute when yet another “grim milestone” is reached – the10,000th attack by Islamic terrorists and militants since 9/11, which is responsible for approximately 60,000 dead and 90,000 injured.

The chronicler of this bloody tally is Glen Reinsford, editor of TheReligionofPeace.com, who began compiling and updating daily a detailed list of reported incidents of violence and terrorism around the world targeting non-Muslims and Muslims alike. Because of space limitations he only posts the past two months worth of attacks on his websites main page, though he has archived all of the incidents from past years (2001-2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007). He also maintains a banner graphic with the updated number of attacks, which people can post on their own websites.

When asked what prompted him to begin such a labor-intensive undertaking, Reinsford identifies the tepid response to Islamic terrorism by otherwise outspoken Muslim groups, with one organization particularly in mind:

The Council on American-Islamic Relations. After 9/11, I kept an eye on them and was quite disgusted by their lack of moral perspective. They complain about issues that affect Muslims which are quite trivial, on average, compared to what is happening in the name of their religion. They do occasionally denounce terror in a general, somewhat ambiguous, sense but there is an obvious lack of passion. Their real interest is themselves.

U.S. Supporting Terrorism

The U.S. is secretly supporting Syria's Baathist regime, according to this FoxNews report. If true, this is a shameful period for America in its war on terrorism. Syria is not only a sworn enemy to America's best ally Israel, but is also responsible for political assassinations in Lebanon and equipping Islamic insurgents who murder our troops.

Shame on Bush, and shame on America.

After years of harsh talk and escalating rounds of sanctions against Syria for supporting terror and seeking weapons of mass destruction, the United States is quietly supporting a United Nations program to supply the Syrian regime with sophisticated surveillance equipment and computers to monitor its borders.

That surreptitious support emerged in the course of a FOX News investigation that began after a surprise Israeli air strike on September 6 destroyed a mysterious Syrian facility that many experts believe was a North Korean-style nuclear reactor.

The gap between the Bush Administration’s anti-Syrian rhetoric and reality emerges in the book-keeping of the $5.2 billion United Nations Development Program, the U.N.’s flagship development agency, which has come under heavy fire for its improper funneling of cash to the regime of North Korean dictator and nuclear proliferator Kim Jong Il.

This time the issue is UNDP’s ties — and those of the U.S. and the European Union — to the Baathist regime of Syrian President Bashir Assad, which has been sanctioned by the U.S. for its sponsorship of international terrorism, destabilization of Lebanon and its shipping of terrorists and weapons to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq.

Doomsday Cult Waits For The End of The World

While insane Muslims go on killing rampages to usher in their Hour of Judgment, these wacky Christians hide in a cave...

AT least 30 members of a Russian doomsday cult have barricaded themselves in a remote cave to await the end of the world and are threatening to commit suicide if police intervene, officials and media said today.

“They have covered the entrance and refuse to come out and are threatening to blow themselves up,” an official in the local prosecutor's office told Reuters by telephone.

“They threaten to detonate a gas tank and blow themselves up.”

The cult members, who include 29 adults and four children, are hidden inside a snow-covered hillside in the Penza region of central Russia.

Ignorance Is Bliss

The religion of peace expresses concern for English speaking students:

TALIBAN militants shot dead a teenage boy in southeastern Afghanistan for teaching English to his classmates, police said.

Taliban militants have killed a number of teachers and students in recent years for attending government-run schools, taking part in classes for girls or what the hardline Islamist militants consider un-Islamic subjects.

Armed men arrived at the school in the Sayed Karam district of Paktia province and grabbed a 16-year-old student and dragged him outside.

“Taliban militants took the boy out and killed him outside the school just because he was teaching English to his classmates,” said General Esmatullah Alizai, the police chief of Paktia province.

To Hell With Their Health!

BAGHDAD, 13 November 2007 (IRIN) - Male gynaecologists are being targeted by Islamic extremists in Iraq as they are accused of invading the privacy of women. Women’s NGOs have raised concerns as there are few women gynaecologists in the country and their male counterparts are scared to continue working.

“Because of the extremists’ religious views, doctors are scared to continue with their work and the number of women gynaecologists is very low and cannot meet the demand,” said Mayada Zuhair, spokeswoman for the Women’ Rights Association (WRA).

“Extremists say that [male] doctors are not allowed to see the private parts of women and two male doctors were reportedly killed last week after leaving their clinics. A message was left near their bodies saying that was the end for any doctor who insists in invading the privacy of Muslim women,” Mayada added.

An Iraqi Medical Association (IMA) spokesman, Walid Rafi, told IRIN it knew of at least 22 male gynaecologists who had been sent threatening letters.

An individual by the name of (Rev.) Jim Sutter targeted our good friends at The Religion of Peace in an effort to shut down the site. The results of Sutter’s actions provoked a number of internet companies to incorrectly categorize The Religion of Peace. These incorrect categories have caused the site to be listed as a hate site, and consequently blocked by some servers. We know that the accusations made by Sutter, and the various companies are untrue. The Religion of Peace provides accurate facts about Islam -- not lies. Nor can the site be accused of being racist. First of all Islam is not a race, it is a political religious ideology. Secondly, The Religion of Peace speaks out against all violence that is directed towards Non-Muslims and Muslims.

Anyone who has a blog that attempts to defend the west from radical Islam or Marxists knows that they are constantly at risk of being labeled racist, and shut down by individuals and organizations who do not want the truth to be known. The efforts to silence our voices will increase. We are all in this fight together. Therefore, it would be
greatly appreciated if all of you would post a notice on your blogs, urging your readers to support The Religion of Peace by sending protest e-mails to the offending companies. Islam and the thought police are coming after all of us. Free speech is in jeopardy. We need to pull together into a strong and united force to combat those who intend to crush us.

Out of respect for others The Religion of Peace has avoided asking for assistance. They did not want to impose their problems onto anyone else. I have permission to make this appeal on their behalf.

Please ask your readers to contact the following companies with a short polite e-mail clearly stating that The Religion of Peace -- http://www.thereligionofpeace.com (include the url in the e-mails) is against violence, not racist and should be categorized appropriately under labels such as General News, Politics and Religion.

PC Hypocrisy

After years of inundating us with the insistence Islam is the "religion of peace," Saudi officials have promised kinder, gentler textbooks that promote more personal freedom and less Jew killing.

The committee said it sent a delegation to Saudi Arabia to follow up on the kingdom's promises to promote religious freedom and human rights, which included revising its textbooks.

The mission of the private Islamic school, according to its Web site, is to "enable our students to excel academically while maintaining the values of Islam and proficiency with the Arabic language. The Academy endeavors to provide a caring, challenging and supportive learning environment where students can achieve their highest potential while exhibiting civic responsibility and multicultural appreciation."

In recent years, several groups have cited examples of inflammatory statements in religious textbooks in Saudi Arabia, including claims that a ninth-grade textbook reads that the hour of judgment will not come “until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them.”

Hmmm, as long as the Qur'an isn't involved with these students' eduction, there might be hope for the "religion of peace..."

WTF?! Post of the Year

GAUHATI, India (AP) - In a Nov. 13 story, The Associated Press incorrectly reported that Paris Hilton was praised by conservationists for highlighting the problem of binge-drinking elephants in northeastern India. Lori Berk, a publicist for Hilton, said she never made any comments about helping drunken elephants in India.

Breitbart.com

This AP correction is in response to this article:

GAUHATI, India – Paris Hilton is being praised by conservationists for highlighting the problem of binge-drinking elephants in northeastern India.

Activists said a celebrity endorsement such as Hilton's was sure to raise awareness of the plight of the pachyderms that get drunk on farmers' homemade rice beer and then go on a rampage.

“The elephants get drunk all the time. It is becoming really dangerous. We need to stop making alcohol available to them,” the 26-year-old socialite said in a report posted on World Entertainment News Network's Web site. Her comments were picked up by other Web sites and newspapers around the globe.

Islam And The Nation-State

Submit, convert, or die. Why is it the West seems resigned to submit, convert AND die?

MUSLIM MINORITIES throughout the world are being financed and ideologically trained in Saudi and UAE funded mosques and Islamic centers. These minorities act in strikingly similar manners in the countries where they are situated throughout the world. On the one hand, their local political leaders demand extraordinary communal rights, rights accorded neither to the national majority nor to other minority populations. On the other hand, Muslim neighborhoods, particularly in Europe, but also in Israel, the Philippines and Australia, are rendered increasingly ungovernable as arms of the state like the police and tax authorities come under attack when they attempt to assert state power in these Muslim communities.

Logic would have it that targeted states would respond to the threat to their authority through a dual strategy. On the one hand, they would firmly assert their authority by enforcing their laws against both individual lawbreakers and against subversive, foreign financed institutions that incite the overthrow of their governments and their replacement with Islamic governments. On the other hand, they would seek out and empower local Muslims who accept the authority and legitimacy of their states and their rule of law.

Unfortunately, with the notable exception of the Howard government in Australia, in country after country, governments respond to this challenge by attempting to appease Muslim irredentists and their state sponsors. The British responded to the July 7, 2005 bombings by giving representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood an official role in crafting and carrying out counter-terror policies.

In 2003, then French president Jacques Chirac sent then interior minister Nicholas Sarkozy to Egypt to seek the permission of Sheikh Mohammed Tantawi of the Islamist al-Azhar mosque for the French parliament's plan to outlaw hijabs in French schools.

In the US, in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, the FBI asked the terror-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations to conduct sensitivity training for FBI agents.

In Holland last year, the Dutch government effectively expelled anti-Islamist politician Ayaan Hirsi Ali in the interest of currying favor with Holland's restive Muslim minority.

An Ever Peaceful Muslim Tortures Girlfriend For Being Christian

Western Resistance blog is reporting on this horrific story:

A 19 year old woman managed Sunday evening to escape from her torturer, a Danish citizen of Lebanese background.

She had been held captive for 9 days in a shed in the Sydhavnen district of Copenhagen where she had been beaten with an electric cable and subjected to other acts of violence by her boyfriend, a 19 year old Danish citizen from Lebanon. Sunday afternoon she managed to break out of her prison, climbed a fence and broke into a store, where she found a telephone and called her family.

Quick Facts About The Crusades

From Games Muslims Play, presented by TROP:

The first Crusade began in 1095… 460 years after the first Christian city was overrun by Muslim armies, 457 years after Jerusalem was conquered by Muslim armies, 453 years after Egypt was taken by Muslim armies, 443 after Muslims first plundered Italy, 427 years after Muslim armies first laid siege to the Christian capital of Constantinople, 380 years after Spain was conquered by Muslim armies, 363 years after France was first attacked by Muslim armies, 249 years after Rome itself was sacked by a Muslim army, and only after centuries of church burnings, killings, enslavement and forced conversions of Christians.

By the time the Crusades finally began, Muslim armies had conquered two-thirds of the Christian world.

Europe had been harassed by Muslims since the first few years following Muhammad’s death. As early as 652, Muhammad’s followers launched raids on the island of Sicily, waging a full-scale occupation 200 years later that lasted almost a century and was punctuated by massacres, such as that at the town of Castrogiovanni, in which 8,000 Christians were put to death. In 1084, ten years before the first crusade, Muslims staged another devastating Sicilian raid, burning churches in Reggio, enslaving monks and raping an abbey of nuns before carrying them into captivity.

Olmert To Release Hundreds More Palestinian Prisoners

Yet again, Israel releases prisoners as a "good-will" gesture. My question is: What has Israel ever received in return for these good-will gestures?

Israel will release 300 to 400 Palestinian prisoners before the Annapolis summit later this month as a good-will gesture to the Palestinian Authority and its chairman, Mahmoud Abbas.

But this number falls far short of the nearly 2,000 Abbas had requested from Prime Minister Ehud Olmert. The list will not include prisoners who were involved in killing Israelis, described as having "blood on their hands."

The release of the prisoners will be the only good-will gesture before Annapolis. Defense Minister Ehud Barak and the security chiefs are adamant in their opposition to lifting any roadblocks or checkpoints along roadways in the West Bank, fearing that this would undermine security and make it easier for terrorists to strike.

The U.S. has made it clear to Israel that while it recognizes its security needs, if Israel cannot dismantle roadblocks and lift restrictions on Palestinian freedom of movement, it must at least try to improve the way Palestinians are treated at checkpoints and shorten the waiting time.

Religion of Peace Demands Death Penalty For "Koran Abuse"

Apparently, a more tolerant version of the Muslim Holy book amounts to an insult worthy of execution.

More than 1,000 university students demonstrated in eastern Afghanistan Sunday to demand the death penalty for an official accused of insulting the Koran, police and witnesses said.

The attorney general's spokesman, former journalist Mohammad Ghaws Zalmai, was arrested at the Pakistan border a week ago trying to flee after being accused of misinterpreting the Muslim holy book in a new translation.

"Death to Ghaws Zalmai!" shouted the angry mob in the eastern town of Jalalabad, an AFP reporter in the crowd said. "We want him hanged!"

"He has insulted our religion and must be killed," the group said.

The demonstrators blocked a main road linking the eastern town to the capital, Kabul, for several hours. Dozens of police officers were on hand to prevent violence.

The conservative parliament last week banned Zalmai from leaving the country days after the distribution of about 6,000 copies of his Dari-language translation, called "Koran-i-Pak" or "clean Koran".

Covenant Of Security

The left suggests the war on 'terrorism' is overblown and questions the ability of Islamic terrorists to attack America again. The right credits Homeland Security for disrupting terrorist networks and protecting America from new attacks. Radical Islamists residing in the United States certainly have the ability to commit small-scaled attacks, perhaps even a major act of terrorism. So, what's stopping them?

This statement by Al-Muhajiroun may explain:

"The Muslims in the west are living under a covenant of security, it is not allowed for them to fight with anyone with whom they have a covenant of security, abiding by the covenant of security is an important obligation upon all Muslims. However, for those Muslims living abroad, they are not under any covenant with the Kuffar in the west, so it is acceptable for them to attack non-Muslims in the west whether in retaliation for constant bombing and murder taking place all over the Muslim world at the hands of non-Muslims, or if it an offensive attack in order to release the Muslims from the captivity of the Kuffar. For them, attacks such as the September 11th Hijackings is a viable option in Jihad, even though for the Muslims living in America who are under covenant, it is not allowed to do operations similar to those done by the magnificent 19 on the 9/11."

Daniel Pipes - British "Covenant of Security" with Islamists Ends

UPDATE: Blogger Esther over at Islam In Europe has more on this supposedly defunct terrorist group:

Al-Muhajiroun, an extreme radical Islamic movement that openly supports al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden will open an office in Copenhagen in the next few weeks.

"We have already been in Denmark for long, but in the coming three weeks we'll make that official," says Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammed, the movement's founder, who was also involved in starting Hizb-ut-Tahrir.

Al-Muhajiroun aims to overthrow Danish democracy and replace it with an Islamic state with Islamic laws.

Our "Moderate" Muslim Ally Places Opposition Leader Under House Arrest

Pervez Musharraf, our "moderate" Muslim ally, has confined opposition leader Benazir Bhutto to her home in Islamabad. How much easier could Musharraf make it for Islamic radicals to target her than to isolate her to one known location? I fear Bhutto will not survive until the February elections. Musharraf is as radical as they come, only he is uses the weapon of Taqiyya to fight his Jihad against Western democracy. A wolf in sheep's clothing.

Pakistani police placed opposition leader Benazir Bhutto under house arrest Friday, uncoiling barbed wire in front of her Islamabad home and reportedly rounding up 5,000 of her supporters to block a mass protest against emergency rule.

Bhutto tried twice to leave by car but was blocked by police after a scuffle with her supporters who tried to remove a barricade. The former prime minister had planned to address a rally in nearby Rawalpindi, defying a ban on public gatherings.

Associated Press

UPDATE: The house arrest order has been lifted:

Pakistani opposition leader Benazir Bhutto has been released from house arrest in the capital, Islamabad, officials say.

The order had blocked Ms Bhutto's bid to lead a rally against the emergency rule declared by President Musharraf.

The United States had criticised the house arrest, saying that she had to be "permitted freedom of movement".

U.N. Collaborating With Terrorists

A week or so ago, video footage surfaced of Palestinian militants firing mortars from a Gaza school run by the United Nations:

The United Nations has been forced to respond to the video:

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has asked for a full investigation of an incident in which Palestinian militants fired rockets at Israel from a UN-run school in Gaza, the United Nations said on Thursday.

UN officials said the school in the town of Beit Hanoun run by the UNRWA agency, which aids Palestinian refugees, was empty at the time of last week's incident after being evacuated because of an Israeli incursion into Gaza.

"The Secretary-General has asked that UNRWA fully investigate this incident," UN Spokeswoman Marie Okabe said at a news briefing. "The Secretary-General condemns this abuse of UN facilities, which is a serious violation of the UN's privileges and immunities," Okabe said.

Were this an isolated event, one might forgive the United Nations. An investigation would, no doubt, result in sanctions against Palestinian militants who abuse and violate U.N. mandates. But this is hardly an isolated incident.

Back in 2004, Reuters videotaped Palestinian militants again using U.N. resources to commit acts of terrorism against Israel:

These two incidents were caught on videotape. One has to wonder how many abuses were not. But this U.N. collaboration doesn't begin and end in Palestine. The U.N. has a history of anti-semitism to the extent it will openly support and empower terrorists. It is only a matter of time before United Nation forces take an active role in attacking Israel. As long as America and Israel are members of the U.N., both are culpable.

A Sign of Hope

Thank you, Michael Yon! This is something we won't see in the mainstream media:

Thanks and Praise: I photographed men and women, both Christians and Muslims, placing a cross atop the St. John’s Church in Baghdad. They had taken the cross from storage and a man washed it before carrying it up to the dome.

A Muslim man had invited the American soldiers from “Chosen” Company 2-12 Cavalry to the church, where I videotaped as Muslims and Christians worked and rejoiced at the reopening of St John’s, an occasion all viewed as a sign of hope.

The Iraqis asked me to convey a message of thanks to the American people. ” Thank you, thank you,” the people were saying. One man said, “Thank you for peace.” Another man, a Muslim, said “All the people, all the people in Iraq, Muslim and Christian, is brother.” The men and women were holding bells, and for the first time in memory freedom rang over the ravaged land between two rivers.

A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing

An effort to suppress IslamoFascists or Democracy? America would be wise to choose its allies more carefully. Musharraf is an ally only as long as the United States keeps him in power. As new elections loom and his candidacy is threatened, his true colours are showing.

Police swung batons and fired tear gas at supporters of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto demonstrating near Pakistan's parliament Wednesday, deepening a political crisis triggered by the imposition of military rule.

Associated Press reporters saw hundreds of protesters pushing metal barricades into ranks of riot police blocking their path. Police beat several activists who broke through, and dragged at least three away from the scene.

State television said the parliament had endorsed President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's state of emergency declaration.

The demonstrators pulled back after several rounds of tear gas were fired toward them.

Bhutto had called on supporters to defy a ban on protesting the imposition of emergency rule, even as the government threatened to crush her demonstrations.

She also said more than 400 members of her Pakistan People's Party have been arrested.

Musharraf, who took power in a 1999 coup, suspended the constitution after declaring the state of emergency Saturday. He has since ousted independent-minded judges, put a stranglehold on the media and granted sweeping powers to authorities to crush dissent. Thousands of people have been rounded up and thrown in jail since then.

Heartbreak Of The Day

Grab your tissues. A jailed terrorist is complaining that, without his Walkman, life in prison is unbearable...

An al-Qaeda operative serving life in prison for his role in the bombing of American embassies in Africa contends that his rights are being violated by U.S. jailers who have denied him access to Arabic publications and religious books, limited his mail privileges, and no longer allow him to use a Walkman. Mohamed Al-Owhali, 32, claims that his incarceration at the "supermax" federal prison in Florence, Colorado has left him so severely depressed that he stopped eating for months...

Religion of Peace Used A Child To Kill

Benazir Bhutto is accusing Islamic militants of using a child in last month's assassination attempt. Why does this not surprise me?

"They (terrorists) were trying to hoist the child -- dressed in the colours of my party's flag -- onto my truck," Bhutto said, adding failing to do so they dropped the child near her vehicle.

"Some witnesses said the child had been rigged as a human bomb. I can't be sure. What followed was a massive explosion, killing scores immediately, tearing many bodies in half and sending blood, gore and flames up into the vehicle," she said.

"In less than a minute a second bomb -- reports later suggested a car bomb -- went off," she wrote.

Bhutto survived unhurt when the blasts killing nearly 140 people took place near her armoured truck in a huge procession she led in Karachi after setting foot on Pakistani soil on October 18 for the first time in eight years.

"Moderate" Muslims Who Would Never Support Terrorism Raise Bond Money For Alleged Terrorist

Jamal has been held in a maximum-security jail since his arrest 17 months ago, with most of his detention spent in solitary confinement. He said the ordeal was trying.

"It was very ,very, very, very bad. It was a lot to hold ... if I didn't have my faith, I couldn't hold it," he said, before getting behind the wheel of a minivan and driving away.

Jamal was released on $100,000 bond, nearly three quarters of which was donated by members of the Muslim community, the Toronto Star reports.

He must remain under the supervision of six sureties, not use the Internet, and stay inside his home unless attending court, his lawyer's office and Friday prayer, the newspaper reports.

Reasons for the release cannot be reported due to a publication ban.

Farooq said his client is only looking at the possibility of 10 years in prison, if he's convicted.

"So our position is the quicker we move this forward, the quicker we can exonerate him and clear his name and he can move on with his life."

Jamal is the third adult suspect to be granted bail in the case. He was arrested in June 2006, along with 17 other suspects, four of them youths.

Police allege the accused, mostly Muslim men in their 20s, plotted to blow up buildings and behead the prime minister. Authorities also accuse the men of taking part in training activities in a cottage country town about 150 kilometres north of Toronto.

In September, the Crown filed a direct indictment, halting a preliminary hearing and pushing the case straight to trial.

As a result, the charges were stayed against the men and new charges were laid. The move allowed those in custody to apply for bail a second time.

Last month, Steven Chand, who has been identified as wanting to behead Prime Minister Stephen Harper, was denied bail for the second time.

Three youths charged in the case have had their charges against them stayed. The trial for the fourth youth, who is free on bail, is expected to begin in March.

Lawyers for the adult suspects say it could be years before their trial gets underway.

Muslims Discovered EVERYTHING!

The same college that welcomed Iranian's dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as a guest speaker employs this professor with a unique perspective on reality:

Muslim scientists have made all discoveries of the current age, said University of Columbia’s Arabic and Islamic Studies prof George Saliba at a seminar at the Government College University (GCU) on Monday. The seminar, titled The Problems of Historiography of Islamic Science, was held at Fazl-e-Hussain Hall. Saliba gave a critique of the standard classical accounts of the rise of Islamic science. He detailed problems in the accounts and explained alternative historiography that described the rise of an Islamic scientific tradition as a result of social and political conditions within the nascent Islamic empire. He said Muslim philosophy was the impetus behind Islamic science that had contributed to various disciplines including botany, zoology, algebra, trigonometry, physics, chemistry, astronomy, physics, chemistry, physiology and mathematics in the pre-industrial era. He said the use of decimal fractions was not a Western invention and that it was discovered by a Muslim scientist. He said the binary system, on which the computer was based, was also invented by a Muslim scientist. He said Arab/Islamic science was not an intermediary between Greek science and European science, but was rather the Renaissance that integrated the Islamic science with European science. Saliba also visited the English Language and Literature Department where he engaged faculty members in a conversation on the Islamic and Renaissance paradigms.

University of Maine Professor Offered Extra Credit For Burning U.S. Flag

ORONO, Maine - A University of Maine student alleges her former professor offered extra credit to class members if they burned the American flag or the U.S. Constitution or were arrested defending free speech.

On the first day of class, associate professor Paul Grosswiler offered the credit to members of his History of Mass Communications class, according to sophomore Rebekah McDade. Disturbed by the comment, McDade dropped the class and intends to take the course again next semester with a different professor.

"I was offended," McDade said Friday. "I come from a family of military men and women, and the flag and Constitution are really important symbols to me because of my family background."

In an e-mail responding to a request for comment from the Bangor Daily News on Friday, Grosswiler said he thought McDade misunderstood the class discussion, which was intended to elicit thought about the First Amendment. He said he has held this same discussion for years without incident.

The Professor encouraged the students by reminding them that burning an American flag was not illegal. In defending the course assignment, the Professor further responded:

In his e-mail Friday, Grosswiler, who is a former BDN employee, explained that he refers to provocative examples, such as flag burning, to demonstrate the courage necessary to support free expression.

"If they don’t tolerate thought that they hate, they don’t believe in the First Amendment," he wrote.

BangorDailyNews.com

Since the whole thing is about the First Amendment and free speech, no doubt this Professor would also extend that extra credit to those who flush a Qur'an or draw a picture of Muhammad, right? After all, neither of those two things are illegal. And the courage that would take is worthy of commendation. I'd challenge the students to use these examples to express free speech and then demand extra credit.

Al Qaida Targets Libyan Leader Gadhafi

No surprise here... Just the usual from the religion of peace. "If you don't embrace our vision of a world-wide Islamic Caliphate, we'll just kill innocent people until you cave..."

CAIRO, Egypt — Al Qaeda's No. 2 Ayman al-Zawahri harshly criticized Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi in a new audio tape Saturday, accusing him of being an enemy of Islam and threatening a wave of attacks against the North African country because it improved relations with the United States.

In the 28-minute audiotape called "Unity of the Ranks," al-Zawahri also announced that the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group was joining ranks with Al Qaeda.

"The Islamic nation is witnessing a blessed step ... The brothers are escalating the confrontation against the enemies of Islam: Gadhafi and his masters, the Washington crusaders," al-Zawahri said in the audiotape. The recording could not be independently verified, but it appeared on a Web site commonly used by insurgents and carried the logo of Al Qaeda's media production house, as-Sahab.

The recording also carried a message Abu Laith al-Libi, a Libyan Al Qaeda commander in Afghanistan who accused Gadhafi of decades of tyranny.

"He is the tyranny of Libya and is dragging the country to the swamp," al-Libi said in the recording that also featured old video footage of him walking with other masked gunmen.

"After long years, he (Gadhafi) discovered suddenly that America is not an enemy ... and is turning Libya into another crusader base," said al-Libi, who has appeared in several recent Internet Al Qaeda videos.

Man Arrested Carrying Pipe Bomb Into Nuclear Power Plant

Nothing to see here, folks... No threat of terrorism here...

PHOENIX, Nov 2 (Reuters) - The Palo Verde nuclear power plant, the largest in the United States, was sealed off on Friday after security guards found a pipe bomb in a worker's pickup truck as he tried to enter the facility, officials said.

The Maricopa County Sheriff's Department said the small bomb was found in "plain view" in the bed of a pickup truck of a contract worker shortly around 6 a.m. local time.

The FBI and the sheriff's department are investigating but have yet to say whether the worker intended to explode the bomb or if it was a device capable of being detonated. A driver of the pickup, a man from South Carolina, was detained and questioned by lawmen, including the FBI.

There was "no indication at this point if he intended" to do harm to anyone, said Maricopa Sheriff's Department Capt. Paul Chagolla.

The pipe bomb has been removed from Palo Verde, which is located about 50 miles west of Phoenix.

"There is no threat to the plant," said Jim McDonald, spokesman for Arizona Public Service, which operates Palo Verde. He added that the public was not in danger.

Chagolla said, "Our examination and preliminary testing shows it is a viable improvised explosive device," commonly known as a pipe bomb.

The plant, which has three nuclear reactors, continued to operate, APS said.

Victor Dricks, spokesman for the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission, said the NRC was "monitoring the response of the operator" but did not see any threat of danger to the public.

APS chief nuclear officer Randy Edington said, "Our security personnel acted cautiously and appropriately and demonstrated that our security processes worked as designed."

Reuters

"Security processes worked as designed." I guess it helped that the pipe bomb was lying in plain view... At least there was no threat of terrorism. That makes me feel soooo much safer.

UPDATE: It seems I mis-typed in the title. The man was not arrested, but detained for questioning. The man now claims he was unaware of the pipe bomb apparently left in the bed of his truck.

A 61-year-old man said he was unaware of a pipe bomb in his pickup bed Friday that triggered a lockdown at Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station when he tried to pass security, officials said.

From about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. , no one was allowed on or off the nation's largest power plant as security and law enforcement officers investigated and searched for more explosives at the site about 50 miles west of Phoenix.

Amnesty International Wants to Deny Justice to 800,000 Slaughter Victims

The same "human rights" organization that condemns America for placing panties on the heads of insurgents yet ignored the brutal torture and executions of Pfc. Thomas Tucker and Pfc. Kristian Menchaca, the same organization which accuses Israel of war crimes for targeting terrorists, but is silent on the daily missile barrage targeting Israeli civilians by Palestinian militants, is concerned that the savages who participated in the mass slaughter of innocent civilians might not receive fair treatment:

NAIROBI-Amnesty International urged governments on Friday not to send anyone suspected of crimes during Rwanda's 1994 genocide to be tried in the country, saying it had serious concerns over the justice system.

The central African country wants suspects in the 100-day slaughter of 800,000 minority Tutsis and moderate Hutus to be transferred to its custody.

But Amnesty said that despite improvements in the Rwandan justice system, it had serious concerns about Kigali's ability to investigate and prosecute genocide-related crimes fairly, impartially and in line with international standards.

Kosovo Albanian Jihadist Pleads Guilty

Remember - these are the displaced Albanian children America rescued during the Kosovo war. We opened our arms to them, gave them ethnic food, water and shelter. Provided them an education and work for their parents. We gave them medical assistance and counseling.

The thanks we get is a planned attack on the very people who saved their lives, respected their religion, and embraced them into our generous country.

CAMDEN, New Jersey-A man has pleaded guilty to to conspiring to provide weapons to a group of men accused of plotting an attack at the Fort Dix U.S. Army base in New Jersey.

Agron Abdullahu, an ethnic Albanian born in the Serbian province of Kosovo, faces up to five years in federal prison when he is sentenced Feb. 6. Since his arrest, he has been held in isolation at a federal detention center in Philadelphia.

Federal prosecutors have portrayed Abdullahu, a 25-year-old bakery worker, as having the smallest role among the six men arrested earlier this year in the Fort Dix case. Abdullahu was charged only with weapons offenses. The others, three ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, a Jordanian and a Turk, are charged with conspiring to kill military personnel, a crime punishable by life in prison.

U.S. Diplomats Refuse Iraqi Tour: "Potential Death Sentence"

What a fine message to send our troops...

WASHINGTON -- Hundreds of U.S. diplomats Wednesday vented anger and frustration over the State Department's decision to force Foreign Service officers to take jobs in Iraq, with some calling it a "potential death sentence."

In a contentious hourlong meeting, they peppered officials with often hostile comments about the move announced last week that will require some diplomats -- under threat of dismissal -- to serve at the embassy in Baghdad and in reconstruction teams in outlying provinces.

Many expressed serious concern about the ethics of sending diplomats against their will to work in a war zone -- where the embassy staff is largely confined to Baghdad's protected Green Zone -- as the department reviews use of private security guards to protect its staff.

L.A. Times

Personally, I think every member of Congress should be ordered to tour Iraq. Maybe if they could see the limitations they have placed on our troops, the Rules of Engagement would be changed to give our guys a better advantage.
