Islams And Jews: Pigs And Apes

VIA Yid With Lid: “Islamic Antisemitism-It Wasn’t Born Yesterday

There is a myth that Muslims loved the Jewish people from the time Muhammad started the religion 1400 years ago. Nothing can be further from the truth. In fact it all comes down to the Apes and Pigs thing. When talking about Jews the Quran says that we are a wretched people who have been transformed into Apes because we violated the Sabbath (well at least you know why). I don’t mean transformed into acting like apes—we have become real apes. And everyone knows—you just can’t talk to people like that.

It’s bigotry against apes, you know…

Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi Was Such a Nice Boy In Guantanamo

alajmi.jpgABDULLAH Saleh al-Ajmi was arrested by the US forces and accused of fighting with the Taliban.

He went to the U.S. naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, while the law worked out if he was an ”enemy combatant.”

Al-Ajmi denied all charges that he was an enemy combatant and a jihadist.

He was repatriated to Kuwaiti authorities on Nov. 3, 2005.

Last week, a Dubai-based television channel reported that al-Ajmi was killed carrying out a homicide bombing in Mosul, Iraq.

A friend of Abdullah Saleh al-Ajmi in Iraq, one Salem al-Ajmi, says: “We were shocked by the painful news we received this afternoon … through a call from one of the friend’s of martyr Abdullah in Iraq.”

Who could have predicted it, eh?

Hugo Chavez, Raul Reyes And The Democrats

AS Gateway Pundit notes, the death of FARC leader Raul Reyes is just the start of the matter:

Instapundit reported the news from El Universal:

The information found in the computers of the deceased leader of the rebel Colombian Revolutionary Armed Forces (FARC), RaĂșl Reyes, was not manipulated by Colombian authorities, according to an Interpol’s report to be released next May 15, as disclosed by Bogota El Tiempo daily newspaper.

The Colombian National Ministry of Defense reported last month that authorities had seized 60 pounds of uranium that belonged to FARC after its dead terror leader’s computers were seized.

They Call Me Reverend Henry Stanley Tibbs

MR Tibbs was identified as a traitor and a fascist in 1940. He lived in Rutland:

Writing from his cell in Liverpool Prison, Mr Tibbs admitted he had indeed, years before, belonged to the British Union of Fascists. They had an excellent agricultural policy, he said.

The victim of wagging tongues and English spite?

Nuclear Holocaust: Russians Would Not Bomb Wales

russian_girls.jpgTHE Mail is making preparations for Armageddon, as ever it should.

It has seen a report from the Defence Plans Division, released by the National Archives, and what the Government of 1955 “assumed” would happen in the first two weeks of a nuclear war.

“The tea position would be very serious,” notes one civil servant. “With a loss of 75 per cent of stocks and substantial delays in imports and with a system of rationing, it would be wrong to consider that even 1oz per head per week (enough for about 12 cups) could be ensured.”

To the Mail the tea shortage is headline news. But surely the bigger story is what the Russians deem worthy of annihilation, and if the plan takes into account a post-apocalyptic Britain, and which places the invading Russians would feel most at home in.

The top five targets of the Soviets were London, Birmingham, Merseyside, Manchester and Clydeside.

In addition, 14 less powerful atom bombs, “similar to the one dropped on Nagasaki at the end of the Second World War”, were to fall on Tyneside, Teeside, Leeds, Sheffield, Hull, Derby, Southampton, Portsmouth, Bristol, Plymouth, Cardiff, Coventry, Belfast and Purfleet in Essex.

Indeed, dear reader, Red Russians hell bent on destroying all that is good/bad in Britain deemed Wales worthy of saving.

Or else, not worth a bomb?

The We Is Me For Barack Obama

TO Barack Obama, ‘we’ means ‘me’.

The notion that the Amazing Obama might be just another politician doing what politicians do seems to have affronted the senator more than any of the stuff about America being no different from al-Qaida and the government inventing AIDS to kill black people. In his belated “disowning” of Wright, Obama said, “What I think particularly angered me was his suggestion somehow that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing. Anybody who knows me and anybody who knows what I’m about knows that – that I am about trying to bridge gaps and that I see the – the commonality in all people.”

Funny how tinny and generic the sonorous uplift rings when it’s suddenly juxtaposed against something real and messy and human. As he chugged on, the senator couldn’t find his groove and couldn’t prevent himself from returning to pick at the same old bone: “If what somebody says contradicts what you believe so fundamentally, and then he questions whether or not you believe it in front of the National Press Club, then that’s enough. That’s – that’s a show of disrespect to me.”

Saudi Arabia Wants To Colonise Australia

SAUDI Arabia’s SECRET AGENDA for Australia:

The Saudi Government - largely through its embassy - is believed to have funnelled at least $120 million into Australia since the 1970s to propagate hardline Islam, bankroll radical clerics and build mosques, schools and charitable orgnisations.

And Islam be linked to global warming and the hole in the ozone?

Antiwar Left: The Madagascar Plan Or The Holocaust

THE Left on the Jews

Anyone who follows the politics of the ‘anti-war’ left will long ago have learned that the Iraq War is The Most Evil Thing That Ever Happened. The Nazi Holocaust; Stalin’s terror-famine and mass purges; Mao’s Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution; the Rwandan and Darfurian genocides - all are viewed as fairly minor misdemeanors in comparison to the US’s invasion of Iraq and overthrow of Saddam Hussein without UN Security Council authorisation. Even the former Most Evil Thing That Ever Happened - the US intervention in Indochina - is now sometimes viewed in a relatively rosy light, as Lindsey Hilsum made clear when, in the pages of the New Statesman, she favourably compared Henry Kissinger’s brand of foreign policy to that of George Bush and the neocons.
