You Still Can't Write About Muhammad

Via WSJ:

Last year Random House signed a $100,000, two-book deal with journalist Sherry Jones for The Jewel of Medina, a racy historical novel about Aisha, the young wife of the prophet Muhammad. Jones learned Arabic, studied scholarly works about Aisha's life, and came to admire her protagonist as a woman of courage.

In May, Random House abruptly called off publication of the book, fearing it would become a new Satanic Verses, the Salman Rushdie novel of 1988 that led to death threats, riots and the murder of the book's Japanese translator, among other horrors. After consulting security experts and Islam scholars, Thomas Perry, deputy publisher at Random House, said the company decided "to postpone publication for the safety of the author, employees of Random House, booksellers and anyone else who would be involved in distribution and sale of the novel."

Saudi man 'wins' 10-yr-old in deal with her dad

Here is another gem from our friends, the Saudis. Received by email from Vick, from this Arab news source.

A 60-year old Saudi man who was set to marry a 10-year old girl—he 'won' in a bet with her father—has postponed his marriage after protests from human rights groups, press reports revealed. The fate of the little girl was decided after her father dared the elderly man to marry a second wife and teased him about being afraid of his current wife.

Filthy lying pigs

It is with grief and righteous anger that I report that Muslim murderers and their terrorists-in-training children threw candy in the street and massive rallies in Lebanon and Israel were held to celebrate the release of murderer Samir Kuntar and other Muslim terrorists.


Arab Muslims, their corrupt murderous leaders and Muslim terrorists around the Middle East and around the world are celebrating over what to them is a victory over Israel and a lesson that kidnapping and murdering innocent IDF soldiers works.

Palestinian Authority Chairman and Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas praised the family of Kuntar, Hamas terrorist leader Ismail Haniyeh encouraged more kidnappings, and all Muslims openly expressed what many Jews in Israel and American already fear:

Kidnapping IDF soldiers has become the most effective way to release Muslim terrorists with Jewish blood on their hands.

The conclusion of the prisoner exchange began Tuesday night with the release of child-murderer Samir Kuntar and four of his co-terrorists, and continued through Wednesday morning with the release of the coffins of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser, all caught on camera for the nation and the world to see.

There has been no reproach by the global community towards the Arab world for their detestable Islamic doctrine of taqiyya - religious deception - for their having kidnapped and killed Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser.

Deceitful Arab murderers lied to the entire world and told the entire world that Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser were safe.

Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser weren't safe, they were murdered, which is what Muslims like to do to Jews in between gutting their enemies and shitting in buckets.

Muslims like to pass around the brains of their enemies, like they did in this now-censored video at the botton of this page, here.

They like to cut themselves and taste their own blood, like their do in their distasteful traditions here.

They like to cut the clitorises off of their females like they have in the photos here.

Muslims demand apartheid.

They like the feeling of a dead Jew's warm blood on their hands, here.


Muslims destroy the holy sites of Jews.


Muslims never regret nor do they ever repent when they murder Jews.

Yet, this is the Arabia that the world fawns over. This is the Arabia that everyone panders to. This is the filth that everyone calls a religion of peace. This is Islam.


I am sick and tired of having to endure the trumped-up concoction of superstitions and deceit which is Islam, merely because the world was cursed by having its main energy source located under the feet of Muslim savages.


May the Angels of death avenge the deaths of Eldad Regev and Ehud Goldwasser.


May HaShem avenge their innocent blood.

Anti-Semitism among Palestinian Authority Academics

From Anti-Semitism among Palestinian Authority Academics:

PA efforts to delegitimize Israel are evident throughout Palestinian society and involve television, schoolbooks, and culture, incorporating hate messages and the denial of Israel's right to exist. Academics including professors, religious scholars, teachers, and schoolbook authors are all participating.

Palestinian academics, recognizing the futility of attempting to erase the documented history of the Jews, literally stole the identity of the Jews by identifying ancient Hebrews as both Arabs and Muslims and denying their connection to today's Jews in Israel.

Many PA academics teach that the killing of Jews by Muslims is a precondition of world redemption.

Anti-Semitic Hate Speech in the Name of Islam

From Anti-Semitic Hate Speech in the Name of Islam:

Farfur, the cartoon character on Hamas' children's television program, is a carbon copy of Walt Disney's Mickey Mouse. But the Hamas version does something that Mickey would never do: He entertains children while propagating the murder of Jews.

Farfur's appearances are typical of Hamas' anti-Semitic propaganda, which the organization also exports to Germany via satellite, hoping to breed new generations of fanatical anti-Semites and suicide bombers.

According to a 2007 study by the German Interior Ministry on the worldviews of "Muslims in Germany," "anti-Semitic attitudes were found among young Muslims far more often than among non-Muslim immigrants or domestic non-Muslims."

Teachers in Berlin are sometimes confronted with Muslim students who refuse to take part in school trips to concentration camp memorials. During one excursion to the German Historical Museum, a group of Muslim youth gathered in front of a replica of a gas chamber in Auschwitz and applauded.

Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism

Deconstructing the mythology of Islam's historical love for the Jews. From Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism:

The Legacy of Islamic Anti-Semitism by Andrew Bostom refutes the claim that Islam, unlike Christianity, had not entertained a systematic persecution of the Jews, with a well-tailored survey of the theological, historical and juridical origins of Islamic anti-Semitism.

A trove of anti-Jewish stereotypes that have become the Sharia-based uncontested "truth" about the People of the Book are invariably cited in sermons during Friday prayers, thus assuring their universal diffusion among Muslim constituents and the constant poisoning of the souls of young and adult Muslims alike, something that renders their fundamentally negative attitudes to Jews and Israel unchangeable.

See also Islam's History of Anti-Semitism:

The historical documents make clear that, from day one, Jews and Christians have been systematically treated as second-class citizens, "dhimmis," in the regions conquered by Islam.

Even if there were some sort of Andalusian "golden age" - as academics are fond of reminiscing and insisting - that's exactly all it was, an "age," an "aberration."

Far from being a by-product of Western anti-Semitism or the creation of Israel, animosity toward the Jews has a firm doctrinal base tracing back to Islam's most authoritative texts.

A Hamas Family Tradition

Muslim traditions have morphed into a pathology. From A Hamas Family Tradition:

In the Gaza City neighborhood of Zeitoun on Thursday, an Israeli airstrike killed two Hamas members, including a son of senior Hamas lawmaker Khalil al-Haya. The group said he had commanded a rocket-launching squad. Khalil al-Haya said, "I thank God for this gift. This is the 10th member of my family to receive the honor of martyrdom."

The Guidebook for Taking a Life

More proof that the entire world should not have fallen for the ruse and the trumped up concoction and deceit that is Islam merely because the world was cursed by having its main energy source located under the feet of savges. From The Guidebook for Taking a Life:

We were in a small house in Zarqa, Jordan, trying to interview two heavily bearded Islamic militants about their distribution of recruitment videos when one of us asked one too many questions. "He's American?" one of the militants growled. "Let's kidnap and kill him." But before anyone could act on this impulse, the rules of jihadi etiquette kicked in. You can't just slaughter a visitor. You need permission from whoever arranges the meeting. And in this case, the arranger who helped us to meet this pair declined to sign off. "He's my guest," Marwan Shehadeh, a Jordanian researcher, told the bearded men.

The rules of jihad etiquette have some general themes. Suicide bombers have long been called martyrs, a locution that avoids the Koran's ban on killing oneself in favor of the honor it accords death in battle against infidels.

Here are five of the more striking jihadi tenets, as Islamists describe them:

Rule No. 1: You can kill bystanders without feeling a lot of guilt.

Rule No. 2: You can kill children, too, without needing to feel distress.

Rule No. 3: Sometimes, you can single out civilians for killing; bankers are an example.

Rule No. 4: You cannot kill in the country where you reside unless you were born there.

Rule No. 5: You can lie or hide your religion if you do this for jihad.

Palestinians release kidnap training video

Get out your notebooks, kiddies. Islam 101 is rearing its ugly head. From Palestinians Release Kidnap Training Video:

The Internet site of the Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees, released a video Monday showing some members of the unit that kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Shalit training for the operation. The narrator explains that preparations lasted six months, including digging a tunnel. Throughout the video, Islamic chants and calls of 'Allah Akbar' can be heard in the background.

Qur'an-reading man tries to hijack Turkish plane with 178 passengers aboard

But he failed. "Turkish commerical plane with 175 passengers hijacked," from EITB, with thanks to Marked Manner, who has details on the press coverage, via JihadWatch:

Police on Tuesday detained a man who tried to hijack a plane and divert it to Iran by threatening to blow it up, CNN-Turk television reported.

Turkish authorities on Tuesday detained a man who threatened to blow up a passenger plane to divert it to Iran, officials said.

The man, identified as Mehmet Goksen Gol, entered the cockpit and threatened to blow up the plane, claiming to have an explosive device on board, Ankara Deputy Governor Hayati Soylu said. The man was not armed and did not have explosives.

He was detained at Ankara's Esenboga airport where pilots landed the Pegasus airline flight, which was going from Diyarbakir to Istanbul.

There were 178 passengers on board, including three babies, the airline said. None of the passengers were hurt.

There was no information as to why the man wanted to divert the plane to Iran.

Firat Keles, a passenger on board, told CNN-Turk television that the man could be seen reading the Quran during the flight. There was no panic on board, he said.

Three Charged in 2005 London Transit Attacks

From Three Charged in 2005 London Transit Attacks:

British authorities charged three Muslim men Thursday with conspiring to help with reconnaissance and planning for the July 2005 suicide-bombing attack on the London transit system, which killed 52 people. The attack, Britain's deadliest in peacetime, was carried out by four Britons of Pakistani origin. Mohammad Shakil, 30, Sadeer Saleem, 26, and Waheed Ali, 23, are from the Beeston area of Leeds. Three of the four suicide bombers lived nearby.

Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei Threatens to "Strike at Them with All Our Capabilities" If Iran Is Attacked

To view this Special Dispatch in HTML, visit:
http://www.memri.org/bin/opener_latest.cgi?ID=SD152307.

The following are excerpts from a public address delivered by Iranian Leader, Ali Khamenei, which aired on Khorasan TV on March 21, 2007.

TO VIEW THIS CLIP: http://www.memritv.org/search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=1409

Ali Khamenei: "When the president of the Iranian people travels to countries in Asia, Africa, and South America, the peoples cry out slogans in his praise. They demonstrate in support of him. When the American president visits countries in South America, which is the backyard of the U.S.A, the peoples there welcome him by burning the American flag..."

Crowd chanting: "Death to America. Death to America. Death to America. Death to America. Death to America. Death to America. Death to America"

[...]

Ali Khamenei: "This means the shaking of the foundations of liberal democracy, of which the West, and above all America, claim to be the standard bearer."

[...]

"They talk about democracy, about human rights, about global security, and about the war on terror, but their evil inner self reveals how warmongering they are, reveals how they trample the rights of the peoples, and reveals their great desire and insatiable appetite for the world's energy sources. The peoples see these things. Day by day, the reputation of liberal democracy and of America - the vanguard of liberal democracy in the world - is diminished in the eyes of the world. At the same time, the reputation of Islamic Iran grows. The peoples understand that the Americans are lying, when they claim to be defending human rights."

[...]

"They threaten to impose sanctions on us. Sanctions cannot harm us. Haven't they imposed sanctions on us before? We achieved nuclear energy despite sanctions. We achieved scientific progress despite sanctions. We achieved the building of our country despite the sanctions. Under certain circumstances, sanctions can benefit us, because they intensify our will for effort and activity."

[...]

"Creating a fuss in order to pressure the Iranian people in this [nuclear] issue, using the U.N. Security Council as a tool, will only harm the forces confronting the Iranian people. I must say this. If they want to use the Security Council as a tool, thus ignoring this indisputable right... So far, we have done everything in accordance with international law, but if they want to violate these laws, we too can and will violate these laws."

Crowd chanting: "Allah Akbar Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Khamenei is the leader. Death to America. Oh noble leader, we are prepared. Oh noble leader, we are prepared. Oh noble leader, we are prepared. Oh noble leader, we are prepared."

Ali Khamenei: "Pay attention. If they want to use threats, impose [their will], and act aggressively, they should have no doubt that the Iranian people and officials will confront the enemies that want to attack us, and will strike at them with all our capabilities."

Arabs Escalate Attacks

From IsraelNN.com:

Arab terrorists sharply escalated attacks through the country Wednesday, attempting to stab a Jew to death in eastern Jerusalem and hurling firebombs and rocks at several vehicles and soldiers in Judea and Samaria.

The attacks continued on Thursday, with a Kassam rocket causing damage to a chicken coop in Kibbutz Alumim in the Negev, and two Arabs were shot and wounded while throwing rocks at a Border Guard patrol near Ramallah.

Abandoned Synagogues of Gush Katif Used as Bases To Fire on Israel

From The NY Sun:

The ruins of two large synagogues in evacuated Jewish communities of the Gaza Strip have been transformed into military bases used by palestinian Arab groups to fire rockets at Israeli cities, according to a senior leader of a Gaza militant group. When Israel withdrew from the Gaza in August, 2005, it left intact 20 synagogues of the Gush Katif Jewish communities following an Israeli Cabinet decision against demolishing the structures. Immediately after the Israeli evacuation was completed, palestinian Arabs destroyed most of the Gaza synagogues.

Taliban Muslims target Cheney in Afghan suicide blast

A Taliban Muslim suicide bomber killed up to 12 people at the main U.S. military base in Afghanistan on Tuesday in an attack the rebels said was aimed at Dick Cheney, but the U.S. vice president was not hurt. An American and South Korea soldier were killed, as well as a U.S. government contractor whose nationality was unknown, NATO and Korean officials said. NATO said 27 people were wounded. A Reuters photographer at the scene at Bagram Airbase, 60 km (40 miles) north of Kabul, saw eight bodies in addition to NATO's tally of four dead, putting the toll at 12. "We wanted to target ... Cheney," Taliban spokesman Mullah Hayat Khan told Reuters by phone from an undisclosed location.

Folks, this is another act of war against the United States which will be ignored by the politically screwed-up media.

Never Too Young to Bleed

From FrontPage via FactsOfIsrael.com:

This week many Muslims around the world celebrated the holiday of Ashoura. I have found a page, Ashoura in Lebanon, that explains what this barbaric ritual is all about:

The observance of Ashoura is one of the most important events in the Shia calender. Ashoura marks the anniversary of the martyrdom of Husayn, grandson of the Prophet Mohammad, in what is now Kerbala, Iraq. The death of Husayn was the beginning of the Sunni/Shia split, which persists in Islam to this day.

In the past, many Shia men have demonstrated their devotion to Husayn by letting their blood flow freely from self-inflicted wounds. Today, however, many governments have tried to ban this practice, with varying degrees of success. In Lebanon, the practice is permitted, and a bloody commemoration of Ashoura takes place in Nabatieh every year.

Most participants make a small cut on their head, and then beat the wound with their palm--or in this case a sword--to keep the wound open and bleeding. Participants then march in groups around the town, yelling chants to express their devotion to Husayn and the Prophet.

The article above fails to mention that participants also call for the death of Jews, America and Israel. In my opinion, there's a direct link between this culture of blood and death, and the hate and terrorism executed by certain Muslims around the world.

Egyptian "Historian" on Saudi Iqra TV: The Vatican's Mission of Destroying Islam was Delegated to the U.S. – Which Carried Out 9/11 on Assignment

Folks, the following TV clip transcript from Saudi Arabian TV show two Muslims participating in what they do best: lying about Jews, lying about Christians, and re-writing history. Lying is known as taqqiya, the Islamic doctrine of religious deception. This originated in Shi’ite Islamic defenses against Sunni Islam, but has its roots in the koran (3:28 and 16:106). Many Muslims today work hard today to deceive non-Muslims, in line with Muhammad’s statement, "War is deceit."

The following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian "historian" Professor Zaynab Abd Al-Aziz, which aired on Saudi Iqra TV on May 26, 2005.

To view this clip from MEMRI TV, click here.

Abd Al-Aziz: "The decision to impose one religion over the entire world was made in the Second Vatican Council in 1965."

Host: "Huh?"

Abd Al-Aziz: "Yes. A long time ago."

Host: "They decided to Christianize the world?"

Abd Al-Aziz: "Yes. The decisions of the 1965 Vatican Council included, first of all, absolving the Jews of the blood of Christ. This decision is well known and was the basis for the recognition of the occupying Zionist entity - Israel. The second decision was to eradicate the left in the eighties. I believe we've all witnessed this. The third decision was to eradicate Islam, so that the world would be Christianized by the third millennium."

Host: "Why is America hostile to Islam, although we never had and never will have the same conflict with them we had with Europe?"

Abd Al-Aziz: "Well, do you remember what we just said about the Second Vatican Council in 1965 and about Christianizing the world? It was agreed upon and pre-arranged. John Paul II prepared a five-year plan, on the eve of the third millennium, Christianize the world. His address in 1995 was based on the assumption that by the year 2000, the entire world would be Christianized. Since the plan was not accomplished, the World Council of Churches assigned this mission to the US in January 2001, since the US is the world's unrivaled military power. They named the decade between 2001-2010 "the age of eradicating evil" – "evil" referring to Islam and Muslims.

"The Crusader war is ongoing, because it has been a religious war since the dawn of Islam. Later, colonialism, missionaries, and Christianization were introduced. The Crusader war is ongoing. The Inquisition courts exist to this day. As I told you, the pope who was appointed a few days ago, headed the Inquisition Court, which is now called the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

"When in January 2001, the World Council of Churches delegated this mission to the US - what did the US do? It fabricated the show of… is it September 9 or 11?"

Host: "11. Please explain this to me."

Abd Al-Aziz: "Yes, of course…"

Host: "You mean to say that the World Council of Churches delegated the mission of Christianizing of the world to the US."

Abd Al-Aziz: "Yes. And how could the US win legitimacy for this without anyone saying that they are perpetrating massacres and waging a Crusader war? It fabricated the 9/11 show. I call it a fabrication because much has been written on this. We are also to blame. Why do we accept a single perspective? Countless books were written, some of which were even translated into Arabic, like Thierry Meyssan's 9/11 – The Appalling Fraud and Pentagate. "Pentagate" like Watergate… He brings documents to prove that the method used in destroying the three (sic) towers was "controlled demolition.

"This is an architectural engineering theory, which was invented by the Americans. They teach it in their universities. They make movies and documentaries about it. They incorporated it in movie scenarios and then carried it out in real life. Why do we accept this?"

Host: "My God, doctor. This is unbelievable! You're saying that this destruction…"

Abd Al-Aziz: "...was a controlled demolition. The building collapsed in its place, without hitting a single building to its left or right. The three towers fell in place."

Host: "In the same method they use in movies and plays?"

Abd Al-Aziz: "Yes, Exactly like that. That is how the US won international legitimacy. You could sense the (9/11) operation was pre-planned because many things were revealed in the days that followed. For example 4,000 Jews caught influenza on that exact day. They set a timer, and all 4,000…"

Host: "By God, you crack me up! They all set a timer and got influenza on the same day. So the building was completely empty of Jews."

Abd Al-Aziz: "Much has been written about this. 150 Congressmen demanded an inquiry."

Who is Muhammad Mansour?

On Jan. 13, Muhammad Mansour was kidnapped by Fatah Tanzim terrorists in the Balata refugee camp for being suspected of cooperating with Israel.

According to the terrorists, Mansour admitted that he cooperated with Israel and worked with an Israel Security Agency (ISA) officer, having passed on information that led to the arrest and death of several senior fugitives in the camp.

After his interrogation, Mansour was brought before a Muslim cleric who heard his confession before Mansour was executed, in order to add religious credibility to the confession.

The next evening, residents of Balata were called to gather in the marketplace in order to observe the execution. Thousands heeded the call.

Mansour, his hands bound, was ordered to kneel on the ground. Tanzim terrorists shot him in full view of the crowd. When Mansour fell to the ground, one of them emptied an entire clip into his head.

The mother of Nadr Abu Lil stabbed Mansour's corpse and gouged out its eyes. The mother of Hashem Abu Hamdan and his brothers gashed the corpse with knives and axes.

When an ambulance came to collect the body, it was stoned by the mob. The ambulance driver was beaten and forced to flee the scene.

The mob set out for Mansour's house and was met by his father who declared that his son was a traitor whom he disowned. Thus the mob was deterred from burning the home.

The State of Israel wishes to clarify that Muhammad Mansour had no connection whatsoever with any ISA officials or with any other Israeli elements.

The Murder of Muhammad Mansour
