"A Muslim cleric- Sheik Taj Din al-Hilali, claimed that women who do not wear the veil are like 'uncovered meat' who attract sexual predators sparked outrage around Australia yesterday."

I think I would, if I were a pig with no moral compass, probably jump on women whether they were covered or not. Rapists don't seem detered by clothing. What do you expect from a fundamentalists uneducated satan worshipper cloaked in religion. The lemmings, including many women of Islam, love this type of mentality- "Protect me from myself".

This is not an untypical statement from a Muslim cleric. Most educated and enlightened Muslims are doctors, engineers, business people, etc.. To be a Muslim cleric you have to buy into the religious dogma that pervades the theocratic establishment in the intolerant, backwards Muslim communities.

The sad part is that Western countries are so cowardly, they allow people like to to keep their passport visa's.

Send them away.

American's have won! I can say this because American's have done more than what would be expected of any other nation in the world. We have removed the dictator and given many tools to the Iraqis. It is still too early to pull out but ACCOUNTABILITY is long overdue, long overdue!

During WW2 and after 9/11, many American's, great American's, felt a rush to help their country. We are a great nation and people!

What is sourly lacking in Iraq, and Islam, is the sense of duty to the country and the rest of the world. With a population of approximately 25 million, Iraq should have no problem filling the ranks of it's police and security forces. Yet, they can't. The citizens of Iraq want us to guide them, they need to be led like lemmings.

Forget it.

Are americans still naive about the culture of Islam? I ponder this question, and probably would say yes in most respects. This naivete often pervades the American media culture.

Islam in my opinion is an obvious paradox. It is both a savior of it's people and a destroyer. It creates boundaries for the followers in a region that is lawless and violently difficult to live in without the basic standards of humanity that Islam promotes. Since most Muslims have never read the Koran, as most Christians have not read the Bible, a word of mouth interpretation via the likes of men like Zawahiri results. But we can't ask or expect Muslims to give up their faith or depart from basic tenets that have been driven into their minds since birth. We have to promote and support a revolution of enlightenment. We have to challenge Islam to stand up and show itself to be honorable and take accountability for itself and it's effects on humanity. The pride that Islam shows with it's martyrdom and dogma needs to be a mirror turned on itself. AMERICANS WON'T WIN THE WAR ON TERROR, ISLAM IS THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN.

Neoliths like Zawahiri get so much press time in America, it almost feels like our media is a promoter of the religious divide. Americans and American media must seek out and promote the moderate Muslim voice. The Islamic youth gravitates toward media much like the American youth do to MTV. We have to make rock stars out of the enlightened Muslims.

A word of caution- Even though these moderate individuals may pose themselves to be moderate, they can still be Trojan horses or dogmatically anti West. Not all moderates are cut of the CLASSICAL liberal cloth. There should be lipmus tests Americans apply in this regard: A wish for a secular governance, acceptance of a Jewish state and high standards for womens rights. When a moderate Muslim adheres and promotes these standards, they can be called a moderate. What you will find is that most moderates promote a soft brand of fundamental Islam, not a true enlightened version.

If we are intelligent Americans we will test the convictions of our moderate partners and promote them as enlightened leaders in front of the growing numbers of Muslim media watchers.

 Are there any men in Washington or are they all cowards?

- Ahmed Shah Massoud

Just finished watching "Path To 9/11" and thought it was well done. Was this what Massoud actually said? Quite plausible.

If you remember, Massoud was executed by the taliban prior to the attack on the WTC. The cowards in D.C. let him down as they have done with so many of our allies.

Ahmed Shah Massoud (???? ??? ?????) (January 9, 1953 – September 9, 2001) (variant transliterations include Ahmad, Massood, Masoud, Masood, etc.) was a Kabul University engineering student turned Afghan military leader who played a leading role in driving the Soviet army out of Afghanistan, earning him the nickname The Lion of Panjshir. He was officially proclaimed the national hero of Afghanistan on April 25, 2002.
Massoud was an ethnic Tajik who was charismatic and respected by all factions of the Afghan population. In the early 1990s he became Defence Minister under President Burhanuddin Rabbani. Following the collapse of Rabbani's government and the rise of the Taliban regime, Massoud became the military leader of the Northern Alliance, a coalition of various armed Afghani opposition groups embroiled in a prolonged civil war. As the Taliban established control over most of Afghanistan, Massoud's forces held the mountainous areas of the north, where they controlled some 10% of Afghanistan's territory and perhaps 30% of its population until late 2001. Massoud was assassinated on September 9, 2001, two days before the al-Qaeda attack on 9/11.

 It's a shame to see America strugle with the war on Terrorism. I think rather, let's insert GPS tracking units into terrorists and let the terrorists lead us back to their thought and creative centers. I know we have the technology and maybe that's what the government is doing already, if so I applaud them. The GPS units can be inserted under the skin and can be designed to disolve in a matter of weeks or months.

Let the terrorists help us kill them.

We're doing a tribute to the various "7 wonders of the world", whether they are catagorized as; man made, ancient or forgotten. Take a moment to look them up on google: Here is a link- http://wonderclub.com/AllWorldWonders.html

I thought I'd take a moment, look back and create a new list, the "7 man made BLUNDERS of the world".

1)    Communism
2)    Chernobyl
3)    Holacaust
4)    The Great Depression
5)    Exxon Valdez
6)    Union Carbide in Bhopal
7)

Of course you already know what a Liberal is, but they are so pathological that I can't help but keep vigilant in my essays about them.

I have lived in various regions, some Liberal some not. I've seen the worst of Liberalism, and after experiencing Liberals first hand in Santa Fe, Amsterdam, San Francisco and many other regions, I really believe they have a mental disorder. Savage is correct on this point.

The categories of Liberals that chap my hide most are these: 

    Lily whites: You couldn't take them to a bar because they would upset the locals, start you in a fight and run out the back door. They usually haven't created wealth, rather have been financially supported by parents or spouses, obtained positions through government or they've inherited money. Some tend to do a lot of drugs, or are the complete opposite and are AFRAID of facing the real world. Their kids are the worst of the worst: John Walker Lindh and Adam Gadahn are perfect examples. They drive around in beat up cars with smoke plumming from the exhaust and a thousand bumper stickers on the back supporting; abortion, the environment (hypocritically), Wellstone, or coexistence with evil. They are usually very mean and self righteous. Oh, and they often smell strange.
    
    Jews: Confused and self-hating for some reason, their weak support of core principles and wishywashy values keep others wondering what they stand for. I bash them sometimes but I do like them overall as long as they keep supporting democracies and not socialism. I dislike the extremes of orthodox and secular.

The above two groups control the levers of the Liberal movement, and together they are causing a breakdown of morality and justice. 

To be fair, the extreme right can be dangerous in different ways, but at this time in history, at least the far right continues to uphold and appreciate American values.

I think that I might have liked a "Classical Liberal" if I was of that era.

Taking a taxi these days is almost like jumping into public transportation in a third world country, a Muslim third world country. Almost every taxi that I've taken lately, actually every, has been driven by a Muslim. Not a friendly one either! They decorate their taxi's with Muslim items, which I find offensive. If I were to put as much Christian items in my cab, I'd get a complaint from a Liberal, Muslim or another multinational, then probably get told to remove the items.

Who's not sick of this? Second class rights in my own adopted country. The country I love. Oh, by the way, I was born in Iran. 

If I was a terrorist, I would NOT communicate through the internet or mail or cell phone, I'd start a network through the taxi services. This is such a ripe culture due to their mobility, how clearly taxicab drivers see transportation patterns, know where people are going, know who is using taxi's and which locations are most vulnerable. In the Muslim world, they are very good at handoff and messenger relay systems. They have created entire banking systems on the relay system.
 
It would be very easy for a group of terrorists to load anything they need into the trunk of a taxicab. Taxicabs are obscure and can easily go in and out of many sensitive area's.  

I was at the Mall of America a few weeks ago and saw that ALL the taxicab drivers were Muslim and practically all the amusement park workers were Muslim. Seems to me that commerce is selling the American public out. The "Mall of America", talk about a soft target which would be perfect symbolism.

This is how the next attack will run: Iran will ship, via Dubai or Qatar, a cargo of toxic/chemical/biological items using a commercial carrier- FedEx, UPS or one of the airlines. The cell agent will pick up the items at a local UPS store or mail box center managed by a Muslim. They will load it into a taxicab and drive it into one of our big cities. It won't take much- not more than 5 people to pull this off.  

American's are lovely people and smart. They are, unfortunately, culturally naive.

Oh if that was the case, he might learn something about social services creation and rapid response. If the saying "citizens get the leadership they deserve" is valid, I'm sorry for the people of New Orleans and the U.S.

Let's send FEMA directors, other federal leaders, Ray Nagin and Kathleen Blanco to Lebanon to see how quickly Jihad Construction has started the rebuilding process.

It's unfortunate that governments such as the state of Louisiana, with such great resources, lacks so much leadership. It also seems like a catch 22, with poor leaders creating poor systems, and poor systems tolerating poor leadership. I think government routinely creates catch 22's for it's citizenry. This is the inherent problem with government, or for that matter, most large organizations i.e. Ford and General Motors.

Let's look at Immigration, which is a perfect example of suicide by bureaucratic stupidity. The bureaucracy of the INS allows an almost free flow of illegal immigration into the U.S., creating stress on social services and a breakdown of first world quality of life here. They then are unable to protect current citizens, fund services and assimilate the people coming to the country, creating even larger problems. Our bureaucrats create the problems, then they exasperate them by not being able to manage their systems.

Citizens deserve the leadership they get? Call two representatives today and complain.

It's such a typical thing: You look at a guy like Adam Gadahn (azam the American) and John Walker (the American taliban) Lindh and think, without even knowing, they were messed up as kids.
 
Find below a short biography of Adam Gadahn. I've recently been asking myself, why is it that Jewish people are such a self-distructive force to themselves, and those that support them- America. Are Jewish people ruining the GOP? They've messed up the Democrats!

The conservative letdown: They have blown so many opportunities to positively influence this countries direction (nothwithstanding Roberts and Alito), they have voted into office a unwise inarticulate simpleton, they still have too many countryclub cronies still pulling the levers and they have spent tax dollars like drunk Democrats, but with all that, they are still the lesser of two evils.

Here is a bio of the "Liberal" poster child: More found at http://lacitybeat.com/article.php?id=1212&IssueNum=66

Adam Gadahn was born Adam Pearlman ( Jewish Father ) in Orange County. His father, acclaimed ’60s underground psychedelic musician Phil Pearlman, was the one who chose the name Gadahn ( Self hating Jew, converts ). Phil Pearlman founded the West Coast group Beat of the Earth, a band often compared by critics to their East Coast counterpart, the Velvet Underground.

Though this part of the story might have caused a few in middle America to pause, Californians are accustomed to living with leftover ’60s culture, from the Heal the Bay movement to the Krishna festivals on Venice Beach. So it’s not strange that a gifted ’60s counterculture hero, the son of a Jewish urologist and a Christian housewife, would change his name to Gadahn shortly after getting married because (according to a former band mate) they wanted a name that “meant nothing.” Also not strange was that they moved to a farm in rural Riverside County and took up the profession of raising and “humanely” slaughtering goats for market. Equally not strange is that Adam and his siblings were home-schooled and raised without running water and electricity. Eccentric, West Coast, out there in “la la land,” but not strange.

At around age 15, Adam moved out, changed his name back to Pearlman, and stayed with his grandparents in Santa Ana, presumably – among other things – to watch television and not have to shower out in the woods in the dark. What kid wouldn't’t? He then became so obsessed by death metal that, as he writes in “Becoming Muslim,” he “didn’t clean his room” for a year.

According to his sister, Los Angeles environmentalist Nancy Pearlman, their father was a strong opponent of the Vietnam War. She told CNN, “Our family are strong believers in nonviolence. We are strong believers in peace.”

Now the whole of America and the world has to deal with this liberal anti-American death spawn.

Recently I spent four days with an Iranian scholar at his families home in the U.S.  He'd spent half his life in Tehran and half here in America. With so much of Iran in the news, we had a lot to talk about. The four days were enlightening.

Though he and his wife are dogmatically against Israel, he is also against the current regime in Iran. He stated that this "show" is a game the current regime is playing to obviously divert attention away from themselves. While this game is played, they are using the diversions to steal the countries oil riches. The current U.S. administration knows this, and so does most of the banking world. Educated Iranians also know this as well. The danger is coming from the uneducated "faithful". He urges Americans to expose the corruption, rather than unify the uneducated faithful against the West. The best way to combat such a culture is to turn it against itself.

One thing that struck me hard was his comment that most educated Iranians have a terrible distaste for Mullahs. He stated that during his time in Iran, moderate people would openly claim that to be a Mullah, one had to be a homosexual.

We talked a great deal about this point of view. I often wonder what drives someone to be so fanatically religious. Is it an escape from personal fault, guilt or shame?

He stated that Iran is not devoid of homosexuals and is much like any other country, as far as statistics on homosexuality afford insight. However, homosexuality is treated as a curse upon oneself in the Muslim culture. My Iranian host went so far as to claim that this homophobia was perfect fodder for recruiting terrorists. He also stated that many of the suicide bombers are in anguish over this internal issue which causes them to seek a way out. I asked are all the "terrorists" dealing with internal issues such as sexuality? He stated it's never all of one thing or another. There is basis in poverty, misguided passion, abuse in the family, brainwashing and so on. However, he made it perfectly clear that the 2-5% of the Iranian population, as in other Muslim nations, are homosexual. These individuals are brainwashed from an early age to think they are cursed, and the one great way to make it to heaven is Martyrdom. This may explain John Walker Lindh's search for something greater than his parents indiscretions.

If you look at the conditions in the Middle-East: Abusive and absentee paternal figures, lack of tolerance, subservient maternal rolls, lack of psychological support, religious intolerance and so many other damaging structures, it is not a implausible premise. As we in America suffer daily from the social ills created from poor parenting and abusive household conditions, the world suffers from the poor conditions which develop from within the Muslim countries.

Like Adam Smiths theory of the "Invisible Hand", there is also, I feel, an invisible hand in global politics. This invisible hand functions to balance political or moral ideologies.

You yourself might say, "that's not an invisible hand, that's global political factions promoting contrary views". I would argue that political movements are bigger than parties and their players. These movements and people emerge from this great balancing act.

Some would say Nazism was a byproduct of Germany's economic despair, the self-defeating conditions of the Versailles treaty and the actions of a fanatical madman. They'd be right, mostly. 

Rather, I see Nazism as a counterbalancing movement to Socialism and Communism. Arguing against the most palatable and visibly reason for it's creation- economics. Much like the current economic justification for Islamic radicalism. Why aren't the poor of South America terrorists?

Out of the darkness of this movement- Nazism, sad to say, came a good thing. The Nazi's killed approximately twenty million communists in WW2 and changed the political resolve of many European countries. European countries that were moving rapidly toward Socialism and Communism. Nazism, however ugly, was the ONLY entity capable of slowing the growth of Marx's (a German and secular Jew) revolution. America was too isolationist and too far removed to make a worthwhile impact.

This leads me to my current theory that Islamo-Facism has emerged as the new counter to SOMETHING. Possibly a secular initiated western ( Judao-Christian ) moral decline?

For the sake of clarity, I am not a fundamentally religious person, or making an anti-West or anti-East thesis. Most of the "decline" can be seen in all Western and Eastern societies. America is certainly a component of decline, through Hollywood and the export of pop culture ( typically controlled by secular Jews ) but not the way the blame America crowd believes. America's strength is that it is OPEN to practical ideas and plural change once it "feels" market signals. This versus old Europe and the Middle-East countries which are resistant to change and the true cause of our current global instability.

Is this to say that, Islamists and Islam has some spiritual purpose to "morality"? Probably not as many fundamental Islamists are actually more prone to immorality, because of the "freedom of choice" vacuum they live in. They themselves are extremely fearful of what they might be tempted to experience, as are many other fundamentalists. Islamists live in fear of what they don't know and can't control.

Simply put we have to look at global issues with a historical view. America has been pulled toward moral decline because of it's openness to concepts of nonclassical liberalism and increased secularism. Is this war a wake up call to all Western nations? 

Islamo-Facism is a counter reaction to something global. What that something is exactly, is not completely clear. Like Nazism, the call to defeat Islamo-Facism should be clear.
