lgf: Palestinians Applaud Terror Attacks Against US and Europe

“A poll carried out in the Palestinian Authority shows 65% support for Al Qaeda terror attacks on the United States and European countries - the biggest donors to the PA. The poll comes at a time when US and European funding of the Palestinian Authority is at an all-time high.

With elections due to be held next month and the Hamas terror group gaining significantly in municipal elections and polls, the survey further illustrates the desire of a majority of PA Arabs to establish an Islamic state, similar to Iran. A whopping 79.9% of Palestinians would like the PA to follow Shari’a - Islamic religious law. Included in the figure are 11.3% of the respondents, who would like to see Shari’a supplemented by the laws of a PA Legislature.”

Osama BinLaden’s New Year’s Wish

From his hideout somewhere in the mountains of Big Bend National Park in Texas, Osama bin Laden released an audiotape of his New Year’s message to the United States. In it he says, “For years now you have foolishly tried to find me along the Pakistan border with Afghanistan. Is it not brilliant that the best place to hide is right under your enemy’s own nose?

Since finding sanctuary here in this beautiful park I have married a naturalized Mexican woman and now I am American too! I wish to find work in America doing those things you say Americans won’t do. No, not blowing things up. I am told that you will give me free medical coverage for my dialysis treatments, a place to live, voting rights, and welfare for my 8 wives and 24 children.

Since the liberals of your country no longer require we Americans to pledge allegiance under God I will not violate my citizenship. Praise Allah! I may even get a driver’s license and start driving a taxicab in New York City where I can repent every time I drive past the site of my greatest achievement. I promise I will no longer try to destroy America through violence. I join the thousands of people who have crossed your borders and are bringing down America by bankrupting it. What a country! Please respond by placing an ad in the New York Times. It’s the only paper me and my fellow jihadists read. Oh, and get those damn Minutemen off my ass I’m covered with cactus needles from escaping from those patriotic bastards. Thank you. And oh yeah, thank you Senator Rockefeller, I would not be here today if it wasn’t for your tip about the cellphone tracking thing. Democrats rock.” – Shelby Trial

Barbaric Eastern Thinking Founded in Fundamentalist Teachings

To what levels of depravity will we see justified in the name of morality and religious ferver? This case has to be the poster child for what more young women can look forward to in a dark-aged islamic fundamentalist talibanish subculture. We wonder if the new Iranian President is in sympathy with this dude?

Michelle Malkin: BARBARISM IN THE NAME OF “HONOR”: “Nazir Ahmed appears calm and unrepentant as he recounts how he slit the throats of his three young daughters and their 25-year old stepsister to salvage his family’s ‘honor’ — a crime that shocked Pakistan.

The 40-year old laborer, speaking to The Associated Press in police detention as he was being shifted to prison, confessed to just one regret — that he didn’t murder the stepsister’s alleged lover too.

Hundreds of girls and women are murdered by male relatives each year in this conservative Islamic nation, and rights groups said Wednesday such ‘honor killings’ will only stop when authorities get serious about punishing perpetrators.

The independent Human Rights Commission of Pakistan said that in more than half of such cases that make it to court, most end with cash settlements paid by relatives to the victims’ families, although under a law passed last year, the minimum penalty is 10 years, the maximum death by hanging.” More…

Circuit Court Upholds NY Times Right to Squelch News

Another pointed satircal piece from Scott Ott interlaced with some very good questions that will hopefully get a few folks to think more critically of the NY Times and other idiotarian news outlets in 2006.

(2005-12-29) — The 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals today ruled that the First Amendment allows, but does not require, major news organizations like to The New York Times to report on newsworthy events.

The decision follows the Times failure to report a December 20th ruling in which the 6th Circuit permitted the display of the 10 Commandments in a legal-historical setting in a county courthouse. In that ruling, ACLU v. Mercer County, the court mocked the American Civil Liberties Union, calling its reliance on the so-called separation of church and state “tiresome” and “extra-constitutional.”

The Times, and most other major news organizations, posted no stories about the 10 Commandments ruling on their “news” websites.

In its unanimous Mercer County ruling (PDF), the three-judge panel wrote, “The First Amendment does not demand a wall of separation between church and state … Our Nation’s history is replete with governmental acknowledgment and in some cases, accommodation of religion.”

The professional journalists argued that although a reasonable person might consider the Mercer County ruling newsworthy, “We don’t have to report on events which conflict with, or contradict, our beliefs or predominant worldview.”

An unnamed spokesman for The New York Times said, “Clearly the 6th Circuit’s decision to uphold a 10 Commandment display is out of step with the mainstream of our readers, and therefore, does not constitute ‘news’ to us. Today’s ruling affirming our right to withhold information would ordinarily be news, but we could not report it without referring to the 10 Commandments public-display victory, so we’re going to exercise our right to squelch that one as well.”

The spokesman said the Times would consider publishing information about the ACLU v. Mercer County case “only if it came from an unnamed source and contained highly-classified information, or if the Supreme Court overturns it on appeal” — Scott Ott / ScrappleFace

New York Times / US News & World Report - Aiding and Abetting?

Is the Main Stream Media (MSM) going too far in it’s effort to vilify the current Administration? So much so that it is becoming a danger to our National Security? Where is the line? Has US News and the NYT crossed it? When does a constant pattern of compromising and obstructing the efforts of our intelligence agencies become tantamout to “aiding and abetting the enemy in a time of war”? If that time is now, as in the recent expose at the Times and this “story” by US News, does this White House have the spine to confont it ??

Michelle Malkin raises this and similar questions in her column today…

You knew this was going to happen, didn’t you?

CAIR FILES FOIA REQUEST ON RADIATION MONITORING OF MUSLIM SITES

Request seeks list of Muslim homes, businesses, mosques targeted under secret program

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/27/05) - A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today announced the filing of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for all government records relating to a secret government program that monitored the radiation levels at more than 100 Muslim homes, businesses and mosques in the capital region and in other areas nationwide…

…The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) filed the FOIA request with the Department of Justice, including the FBI, and the Department of Energy.

In the request, CAIR asked for: 1) “Records concerning the authority of President Bush to delegate or personally authorize surveillance without obtaining a court order as required by FISA,” and 2) “Comprehensive lists and addresses of the over a hundred Muslim sites (including mosques, organizations, businesses, warehouses and homes) in Washington D.C., Chicago, Detroit, New York, Las Vegas and Seattle which have been targeted for radiological surveillance by this top secret program…”

Thanks, US News. Next time, why not just hand over whatever classified information you obtain directly to al Qaeda?

If only these MSM blabbermouths invested as much energy exposing the terrorist sympathies and connections of CAIR as they did in exposing every last Bush administration counterterrorism measure to protect American lives, they’d fully understand the damage they have done.

Washington needs to step up to the plate and take the gloves off with respect to MSM’s apparent mission to stoop to new depths in order to throw obstacles in front of the FBI, the NSA, the CIA and this Administration. They say they do this in the name of protecting our individual rights — but most every thinking American knows there’s also a political agenda behind it. Mainstream America is supportive of our government doing everything it can to protect it’s citizens from indiscriminate murder. Even if it means invading the privacy of suspected terrorist conspirators that happen to be living in this country! U.S. Citizens or not! If a suspected group has nothing to hide, they should have nothing to worry about. Take a poll and see just how many Americans feel this way. Why give a suspected terrorist group an edge?

In a time of war everyone should recognize that we may have to give up some freedoms (not all) for the greater good. We do this at airports every day! The left and the press seem to want to obstruct the very people who are sworn to protect us and now some over zealous reporters are flirting with aiding and abetting an enemy in a time of war in order to promote their own agendas by leaking information in the form of a “story” that potentially threatens the lives of our citizens. Why? What’s their real motive if not political? And if that is the case, then their actions are a threat to all of us and they need to be held accountable. That’s how we feel about it.

There needs to be a balance. “Give me Liberty or Give me Death” should not be contrued to mean “Give me Safety at the Expense of All Liberty” the Law of the Land needs to adjust to asymetrical threats without compromising what we stand for as a nation. So to the Senate… when you return from Holiday… give careful consideration to the renewal of the Patriot Act and put your politics aside and search your souls for the right balance!

Israeli Jets Hit Militant Base in Lebanon

(BEIRUT, Lebanon) - Israeli jets attacked a Palestinian militant group’s training base in southern Lebanon early Wednesday, hours after an Israeli border town was hit by rocket fire, the military said.

The base located five miles south of Beirut is operated by the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, a small group that has been waging a decades long fight against the Jewish state.

‘This is in response to the firing of projectile rockets last night toward Israeli communities,’ the military said.

It said it views such attacks with ‘extreme severity’ and holds Lebanon responsible.

There was no word on casualties or damage in the strike, launched after three rockets landed in a residential area of Kiryat Shemona. The army said the rockets damaged some property but caused no injuries.” More…

Maybe Spielberg will want to make a movie out of the constant attacks from Hamas and Islamic Jihad to provide a fair and balanced perspective on reconciliation….
