So I’m watching the BBC America News, and it’s infuriating in some ways, but I was thinking: Why would they downplay using terms “Islamic” and “Muslim”? After all, it’s truthful in many ways for certain stories.

So I keep on thinking (trouble): Could the BBC, realizing the influence they have on the way people think (repetition of the same story over and over makes the problem seem bigger), be trying to reduce the impact of possible retribution if they continued to report jihad violence as it is?

They reported tonight (April 28, 2008) on the mosque that was burned by other Muslims because the sect “deviated” from normal Islam. The BBC didn’t report what that deviation was, but because I’d read about it earlier at Jihad Watch, I knew why: the sect didn’t follow the Jihad ideology; no violence.

Toning down the idea of Jihad might paint all Muslims as violent, and story after story about violent Muslims and Jihad would alarm many people, possible leading to violence against Muslims at home (Europe and America). This would fit in with a Liberal-Socialist understanding of the situation. They’d be wrong to do it, but I could see how this line of thought could influence the BBC to present stories in a certain less-Jihadalicious light.

You know why people get upset at Israel for acting tough with Palestinian Arabs?  It’s sometimes anti-jew sentiments, but I think most of the time it’s because we expect Israel to act like a western power; like an adult.

Why does no one make a big deal out of Egypt saying this?

CAIRO (AFP) — Egypt said on Thursday it would no longer tolerate Palestinians infiltrating the country from the Gaza Strip, and threatened to break the legs of anyone crossing the Rafah border illegally.

“Anyone who breaches the border will have their legs broken,” Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Abul Gheit was quoted as saying by the official MENA news agency on public television overnight.

Because Egypt is populated by “children” who just don’t know any better.  Think of a mother making excuses for an embarrassingly petulent child in a supermarket; “he’s just tired”, “he doesn’t know any better”, “I just don’t know what’s got into him today”.

This is how many people treat the actions of thepeople and leaders from Arab, African and Asian worlds.  It becomes an excuse for a child who should know better, but is “acting out” or having a “temper tantrum”.

Y’know what?  I’m sick of these people being treated with kid gloves.  The excuses for behavior, the occasional spanking with loud protests from the other “mothers”, it has to end.  It’s time to man up.  These people aren’t children, they’re adults, and their actions should have real-life consequences.

All you “mothers” out there, you wouldn’t let your husband get away with any of the stuff these supposedly poor, downtrodden brown people do, so shut the fuck up and let daddy take out the trash.

Ezra Levant is under investigation by the Canadian Human Rights Commission because some Muslims complained his magazine published the Mohammed cartoons in 2006.  Go here to see videos of him at his hearing at the CHRC; his arguments are strong.

I’ll buy him beer and donuts whenever he wants.

You’ll remember that the first time the cartoons were printed, there was no reaction.  However, after some shit-stirring by some imams, and then a reprint of the cartoons months later, the rioting started.  This was a fabricated outrage that cost lives, and is yet another disgrace upon Islam.

Using the legal system to harass citizens is a disgusting and effective tactic in silencing criticism of Islam, and it’s happening all over the world; in England, in Canada, in the United States, and other places where a legal system can be used.

Funny prank/statement about Islam.  Yes, I’m culturally insensitive.

And an EXCELLENT follow-up by Robert Spencer at JihadWatch.org.

I grew up in Sharon, Massachusetts.  Nice town, not too big, not too small.  Also very Jewish, meaning a high concentration of Jews lived there, not that is was a mostly Jewish town.  As I’ve mentioned before, I always wondered why the Muslim center opened up in Sharon, of all towns.

Now, besides the fundamental Muslim policies of ICNE, we see they’re getting their freak-on Muslim stylee.

I personally don’t care if you want to have 1 spouse or 50 spouses, as long as all parties can agree with the arrangement.  However, for now it’s illegal, and I see these actions as signs that Muslims (not all, but many) don’t want to become part of America, they want to bring Muslim values into America and force the USA to accept their values while rejecting our values.  They act this way not because we should all be treated like adults, but because Allah wills it.

Unacceptable.
