Flyers = Gunnies

Tuesday, December 29th, 2009

WizardPC, manning the Walls of the City, points out that the new TSA directives promulgated in the wake of the Christmas Bombing, works in exactly the same way as current gun regulations:

  • Unaccountable Government Agency with the power to ruin your life over seemingly minor transgressions? Check!
  • Assumption that you’re up to no good based solely on lawful activity? Check!

…And three more items. As one of Wiz’s commenters notes, this only applies to international travelers, but come on, people, do you really believe that officials like Napolitano don’t want to impose them universally?

After all, many of our current gun control laws got started after the Civil War, and were only supposed to keep uppity black folk from resisting the KKK and other bastions of law and order; they were never intended to be used against decent white Americans.

If the System Worked…

Sunday, December 27th, 2009

If the system worked, as “Nappies” Napolitano claims, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would not now be in the hands of the Justice Department.

He’d be in military hands, in Guantanomo, and would at this moment be in the process of being persuaded to spill his guts on who supplied him with a defective bomb. He might be allowed to watch with the rest of us as the homes and capitals of those responsible were obliterated. He’d certainly be hearing, and possibly watching, the Current Occupants at Gitmo being shot. Then it would be his turn. They would all have been offered a last meal of pork sausage and beer.

If the system worked, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would never have attempted what he did, because his sponsors would either be dead, or would know better than to attack an American target.

If the system worked, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would indeed be in this country, attending engineering school, being a good student, and preparing to go back home to bring his nation into the modern era.

If the system really worked, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab would be going to school in his own country, and that school would be almost as good as almost any place he could have gone to here, and his country would be a substantial economic competitor to the US, like Japan after WWII.

And if the system worked, Barack Hussein Obama would be the junior Senator from Illinois. At best.

Explain Islam To Us

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

Thomas Friedman, writing in the New York Times:

Whenever something like Fort Hood happens you say, ‘This is not Islam.’ I believe that. But you keep telling us what Islam isn’t. You need to tell us what it is and show us how its positive interpretations are being promoted in your schools and mosques. If this is not Islam, then why is it that a million Muslims will pour into the streets to protest Danish cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad, but not one will take to the streets to protest Muslim suicide bombers who blow up other Muslims, real people, created in the image of God? You need to explain that to us — and to yourselves.

[Bold mine.]

This is the closer on an excellent essay about the Fort Hood killer, Major Hasan, and “The Narrative” that inspired his act of religious war. Read the whole thing.

“Why I Did It”, By Hasan

Monday, November 16th, 2009

[I have only briefly glanced at this material as yet; this post is basically a sticky note to myself for future reference.]

The Washington Post puts up the presentation slides for a talk on issues facing Muslims in the U.S. military that Major Nidal Hasan gave to his fellow doctors.

Barry Rubin does a point by point analysis.

How do we know that the attack at Fort Hood was an act of Islamist terrorism? Simple, Major Nidal Hassan told us so. You’ve seen reports of a long list of things he did and said along these lines. But what’s most amazing of all is this:

Hassan is the first terrorist in history to give an academic lecture explaining why he was about to attack. Yet that still isn’t enough for too many people—including the president of the United States–to understand that the murderous assault at Fort Hood was a Jihad attack.

It was reported that the audience was shocked and frightened by his lecture. He was supposed to speak on some medical topic yet instead talked on the topic: “The Koranic World View as it Relates to Muslims in the U.S. Military.” All you have to do is look at the 50 Power Point slides and they tell you everything you need to know.

It is quite a good talk. He’s logical and presents his evidence. This is clearly not the work of a mad man or a fool, though there’s still a note of ambiguity in it. He’s still working out what to do in his own mind and is trying to figure out if he has a way out other than in effect deserting the U.S. army and becoming a Jihad warrior. Ultimately, he concluded that he could not be a proper Muslim without killing American soldiers. Obviously, other Muslims could reach different conclusions but Hassan strongly grounds himself in Islamic texts.

In a sense, Hassan’s lecture was a cry for help: Can anyone show me another way out? Can anyone refute my interpretation of Islam? One Muslim in the audience reportedly tried to do so. But unless these issues are openly discussed and debated–rather than swept under the rug–more people will die.

In fact, I’d recommend that teachers use this lecture in teaching classes on both Islam and Islamist politics.

Follow along with me and you’ll understand everything.

So follow along, already. At first glance, his analysis seems thorough. Pro-jihadists, please feel free to respond in similar detail.

Purple Hearts For Fort Hood Fallen

Sunday, November 15th, 2009

Roger Kimball makes the case.

Will the soldiers whom Hasan killed or injured in this latest terrorist assault receive the Purple Heart?

In my view, they should. But whether they do depends on how the Obama administration decides to spin the episode. If it determines that the soldiers were victims of criminal assault, the answer is No: they do not get this most somber military decoration.

But if the Obama administration determines that those soldiers were injured or killed in the line of duty, then they are eligible for the Purple Heart. [UPDATE: the always excellent Diana West beat me to the punch with this insightful column about Ft. Hood and the Purple Heart.]

It’s tricky for Obama. His administration is devoted to transforming the jihadist war against the West into a civilian conflict. Hence the heavy odor of political correctness that has hung about Ft. Hood since November 5 when Maj. Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar” and opened fire.

Kimball points to Diana West’s brief, but cogent, post. She says, “Witholding medals to these war dead and wounded is the ultimate act of submission”. It’s an act of submission, alright, but far from the ultimate one.

Worse than the President bowing to foreign potentates, to be sure, but there’s a long hard fall even beyond this, with plenty of bumps and breaks on the way down.Terrible precedent.

“$200 Haircuts on 88-cent Heads”

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

Mark Shea, one of many outside the mainstream pointing at the blatantly obvious truth the mainstream insists on not seeing:

One thing you can give our media Chattering Classes: They are utterly consistent. After Major Nidal Malik Hasan opened fire on a roomful of defenseless people in Fort Hood, it was absolutely assured that we would immediately be told that this outrage had nothing to do with his Islamic faith and that it was not an act of terror. Then, as time went on and the bleedin’ obvious became bleedin’ obvious, we would spend all weekend enduring TV pundits scratching the $200 haircuts on their 88-cent heads and pondering the question of whether there might be some remote connection between Islamic belief and a guy who praises Muslim suicide bombers as heroes and martyrs, sits under the teaching of a Radical Islamic imam who praises his act of slaughter as heroic, uses his authority as a psychiatrist to proselytize vulnerable patients with Islamic agitprop, and dresses in traditional Muslim garb and shouts “Allahu akbar!” as he guns down his prey.

It was a spectacular display of deliberate willed stupidity by a media culture that demonstrates repeatedly it does not want to acknowledge that Islam tends to breed such acts of terror with startling frequency. And it was predictable because it happens every time some Islamic butcher opens up on innocent victims in the name of the Prophet.

Well worth your time to read the whole thing.

Shea points at something in particular I’ve been trying to find; more evidence of Hollywood’s cravenness, in particular:

For 2012, Emmerich set his sites on destroying the some biggest landmarks around the world, from Rome to Rio. But there’s one place that Emmerich wanted to demolish but didn’t: the Kaaba, the cube-shaped structure located in the center of Mecca. It’s the focus of prayers and the site of the Hajj, the biggest, most important pilgrimage in Islam.

“Well, I wanted to do that, I have to admit,” the filmmaker told scifiwire.com. “But my co-writer Harald [Kloser] said, ‘I will not have a fatwa on my head because of a movie.’ And he was right.”

Emmerich went on: “We have to all, in the western world, think about this. You can actually let Christian symbols fall apart, but if you would do this with [an] Arab symbol, you would have … a fatwa, and that sounds a little bit like what the state of this world is. So it’s just something which I kind of didn’t [think] was [an] important element, anyway, in the film, so I kind of left it out.”

Traditionally, a fatwa has meant religious opinion by an Islamic scholar or imam. The term has gained currency in the West after Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini issued a death sentence in the form of a fatwa against British author Salman Rushdie for alleged blasphemies in his book “The Satanic Verses” in 1989. As a result, the Indian-born writer was forced into hiding for most of the ’90s.

But noooo, we’re told to believe. “Jihad” just means “a peaceful inner struggle with one’s self”. We’re told, “religion of peace”. We’re told, “selective quotation of scriptures.”

NO. As I always say at this point:

There is no god, not even Allah, and Mohammed, may piss be upon him, was nobody’s prophet, but a child-molesting mass murderer.

And I say that simply because, so far, I can, but I’m beginning to fear the day is coming when I dare not say such things in public.

And when that day comes, you watch: I won’t be able to say that, but anyone will be able to piss on a statue of Christ, or daub the Virgin Mary with shit, and will get public funds to do it.

Witch Hunt

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

This, from comments:

You are calling for a witch hunt.

Yes, yes I am. Darn betcha.

However, what I am calling for is a witchhunt by what I am assured is the vast majority (at least here in America) of moderate Muslims against (what I am again assured is) the tiny minority of jihadist radicals sheltering among them. A few public condemnations of acts like the Ft. Hood murders are not enough. Muslims themselves must destroy this cancer growing in their breast. If they do not, the rest of us will, out of sheer self-defense, and the mastectomy will be radical.

As for “all first hand accounts” — Actually, no, there are many reports of the murderer’s longstanding, and increasing, Islamic fundamentalism over the past several years, including reports of him delivering Jihadist lectures during grand rounds; of him wearing the traditional white robe of a shaheed, a martyr to be; of him handing out copies of the Koran, and even giving away his furniture in the days before the attack. There are several links between mosques he attended and Wahabist clerics in Saudi Arabia. (Once again, yes, I’ve done my damn homework; you do yours. These reports are not at all hard to find.)

I’m sure he was stressed over being sent to the Middle East — but that stress arose from his conflict between his military oath and mission, and his religious fundamentalism.

He chose to betray his oath, his country, and his fellow soldiers. He chose sides, and became the enemy.

That must be stopped, and there only two ways: People like him, and the clerics who encourage them, can be rooted out by other Muslims, or the rest of us can do it for them.

Choose sides. Soon.

===

Related:

Carol Gould’s scolding of Michael Moore for his claim that there really isn’t a significant terrorist threat; it’s chock full of links to the contrary.

===

[update]
Another quick, but highly relevant link:

I believe it was Derb a few months after 9/11 who said that for this new struggle our watchword was “Better screwed than rude.” Major Hasan represents the institutionalization of that attitude. Thirteen people are dead, dozens more will live with their injuries for the rest of their days, and a lot of families have had a great big gaping hole blown out of their lives because of it.

Anwar al-Awlaki and his chums have bet that such a society is too sick to survive. Watch the nothing-to-see-here media driveling on about pre-post-traumatic stress disorder like gibbering lunatics in a padded cell, and then think whether you’d really want to take that bet.

Read the whole thing. Absolutely.

Jesus Incites Violence

Sunday, November 8th, 2009

Oh, wait, no, sorry; that would be Mohammad who incites violence amongst his devout.

Osama bin Laden’s communiqués have also quoted the Koran copiously. In his 1996 “Declaration of War against the Americans Occupying the Land of the Two Holy Places,” he quotes seven Koran verses: 3:145; 47:4-6; 2:154; 9:14; 47:19; 8:72; and the notorious “Verse of the Sword,” 9:5. Bin Laden began his October 6, 2002, letter to the American people with two Koran quotations, both of a martial bent: “Permission to fight (against disbelievers) is given to those (believers) who are fought against, because they have been wronged and surely, Allah is Able to give them (believers) victory” (22:39) and “Those who believe, fight in the Cause of Allah, and those who disbelieve, fight in the cause of Taghut (anything worshipped other than Allah e.g. Satan). So fight you against the friends of Satan; ever feeble is indeed the plot of Satan” (4:76).”
…
One pro-Osama website put it this way: “The truth is that a Muslim who reads the Koran with devotion is determined to reach the battlefield in order to attain the reality of Jihad. It is solely for this reason that the Kufaar [unbelievers] conspire to keep the Muslims far away from understanding the Koran, knowing that Muslims who understand the Koran will not distance themselves from Jihad.”

And yet, Spencer points out, it is not the kufaars, the non-believers, who need to be worried about harassment and, uh, getting killed and stuff. No, no.

Silly me. I thought that after an Islamic jihadist murdered twelve innocent non-Muslims, it would be the non-Muslims who would need reassuring and protecting. But of course that non-existent backlash takes priority over 12 dead unbelievers.

“Some Muslims fear backlash after rampage: In the wake of Fort Hood tragedy, Houston authorities try to assure the faithful steps are being taken to keep followers safe,” by Moises Mendoza and Lindsay Wise for the Houston Chronicle, November 7:

In Houston, government officials have been working to reassure Muslims that they’re safe, pointing out that there have been few cases of retaliation locally after previous attacks involving Muslims.

There have been few cases anywhere. So few that CAIR has had to invent them.

As always, I have to say (just because, so far, anyway, I can, and because it really upsets some people): There is no god, not even Allah, and Mohammad, may piss be upon him, was no prophet, but a child molesting mass-murderer.

Tom Maguire, over at JustOneMinute, points out “Some dots just can’t be connected.” He points to this piece from the New York Post:

What interpretation of Islam influ enced Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan? As often before, the trail leads to the official sect of Saudi Arabia — known as Wahhabism to most of us of who denounce it.
…
We’ve also learned that, before his transfer to Ft. Hood last year, Hasan served as a psychiatrist at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, DC, and regularly attended Friday prayer at the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring, Md.

The Silver Spring clerics have issued formal statements condemning the carnage at Ft. Hood. But Imam Faizul Khan, long the main prayer leader at the mosque and a friend of Hasan, said he never believed Hasan capable of such an act.

Yet what docrines did Hasan absorb at the mosque? While he was a communicant, it hosted at least four talks by Enver Masud, the founder of The Wisdom Fund, the main Muslim “truther” group in America [link, link].

And Khan is a leading board member of the Islamic Society of North America — the main Wahhabi-lobby group in the United States, established by Saudi Arabia to impose extremism on American Muslims. ISNA has a long and disgraceful record of promoting radical Islam.

Read the whole thing for the links.

Here’s the problem: it’s cover-ups, misdirection, and denial like the Chronicle engages that will eventually result in exactly the kind of “backlash” they claim to be trying to head off.

The NYPost gets it more right:

Confronting the role of radical Islam here is not Islamophobic, but common sense — and the first response moderate Muslims themselves will have.

“More right”, because the only way to ensure that moderate Muslims confront radical Islam, and pull it out by the roots, is to make America a very uncomfortable place for Muslims generally as part of the aftermath of incidents like Ft. Hood.

Let me point out that I believe the overwhelming majority of American Muslims to be “moderate”, i.e., non-observant or minimally observant, about on par with most American Christians.

However, we absolutely must hold the moderates responsible for the actions of the jihadists sheltering among them.

They should be every bit as afraid as the rest of us should be. Coddling them, and their viper brethren, is close to suicide.

QotD: “The very model of a modern major massacre”

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Please forgive me for laughing when I read Tam’s headline on her View From the Porch post.

The whole thing is that good, short, and well worth the read.

The cherry on the icing of the cake of the night was the mealy-mouthed General Cone simpering from the lectern about “We don’t go armed around here, this is our home,” which caused me to look at the loaded pistol on the nightstand in bafflement. I thought Texas had that “Castle Doctrine” thing? I know Texans on the internets are always bragging about how it’s legal for them to shoot someone stealing their hubcaps after dark, so I’m pretty sure a guy Allahu Akhbar-ing his way through a hospital waiting room gets the green light in the target selection sweepstakes.

Female Police Officer Heroically Wounded….

Friday, November 6th, 2009

… protecting unarmed, defenseless American soldiers being shot on American soil in an American military base by a Muslim jihadist wearing an American uniform, sworn to save lives as doctor, and sworn to defend the Constitution as a soldier himself, but mostly sworn to kill those who kill the followers of Allah.
alg_kimberly_munley

Kimberly Munley, thank you for stopping this outrageous attack.

Officer Munley, you were the hero of the day yesterday. Whatever a skeptic’s prayers may be worth, you have mine. You certainly have my admiration and gratitude, as well as the gratitude of the soldiers and families who were spared further grief by your bravery.

Well done. Very well done indeed.

[This story subject to change as real reporters get out the details that the entertainment media of CNN, MSNBC, AP, and so forth, are frantically trying to hide.]
