Wilders: Koran worse than Mein Kampf

Wilders: Koran worse than Mein Kampf
The Koran is worse than Mein Kampf when it comes to inciting hatred and violence, PVV leader Geert Wilders claimed in an interview with the influential German weekly Der Spiegel.
Wilders said that the Koran has more anti-Jewish passages than Adolf Hitler's book. The Islamic holy book also didn't give any room for other opinions, and Islam follows the same principles as fascism and communism.
In the interview Wilders said that he could make that comparison because he also read parts of Mein Kampf. "By us Mein Kampf is banned. If my friends on the Left would be consistent in this policy, the Koran should also be banned."
Der Spiegel pointed out that the Bible also calls for violence and gave as an example a quote from Jesus. "Those enemies of mine who did not want me to be king over them—bring them here and kill them in front of me." (Luke 19:27). Wilders said that the New Testament is more moderate.
He said a crucial difference is also that Muslims understand the Koran much more strictly than Christians understand the Bible and that therefore such a comparison is not relevant.

Fatwas and Flogging on Fake hymens in Egypt?

According to Elaph.com, a capsule is being sold in Arab communities in the Middle East - including in Israel - that is inserted vaginally before the wedding night. It then explodes, giving off a red dye that resembles blood, thus potentially saving the woman's life, as well as her reputation.

...but why not get the surgery?   Real blood is better.  right?

DUBAI (Al Arabiya)

From new noses to luscious lips modern technology means anything can be bought, and now a Chinese-made "hymen" aims to give women back their virginity, which MPs in Egypt have slammed as a deceitful tool that promotes vice and corruption. The hymen, called the Virginity Hymen, consists of a tiny pouch that is inserted inside a womans vagina and contains a red substance, simulating blood, which leaks when the pouch is broken during sexual intercourse. The devise, which costs $15, has kicked off mass debates amongst Egypts MPs and religious scholars about ways to stop it from being imported to Egypt as they fear it may encourage promiscuous behavior. A fatwa sanctioning the harshest of punishments on those who import the hymen was issued by Dr. Abdel-Moati Bayoumi, a member of the Center for Islamic Research (CIR), which has been slammed as unnecessary. People who bring the artificial hymen into the country should be severely penalized, Bayoumi, who is also a former Deputy Chairman of the Religious Affairs Committee in parliament, stated in his fatwa. They spread vice and encourage girls to engage in illicit relationships as they know they can restore their virginity, he warned. Egyptian imam, Sheikh Youssef al-Badri, agreed with Bayoumi and argued that people who import the hymen should be made an example of to others so they dont think of getting involved in the same business. A person dealing with artificial hymens should be flogged, put in jail, or deported from the country so that no one else could think of following suit, he said. Meanwhile another CIR member, Sheikh Mahmoud Ashour, slammed Bayoumis fatwa as "ijtihad," an independent interpretation of Islamic law in order to evaluate a contemporary issue. Instead of imposing penalties on importers of artificial hymens, we should declare it is religiously illicit to import it, sell it or distribute it, Ashour, who is also the former al-Azhar deputy chairman, told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat. We should also impose hefty fines on those import it, he added. Dr. Mustafa al-Shakaa, also a CIR member, said it was enough to apply the commercial fraud law on this new product. The artificial hymen involves deceit on the part of women, he told the paper. Thus importing it is fraudulent. Shakaa added that any decision concerning the artificial hymen should be preceded by meetings between Islamic scholars so they can reach a consensus on ways to deal with what he called a violation of Muslim honor. Despite the fuss about the product, there is still no proof it has reached the Egyptian market but rumor has it that it is already being used by some doctors in private clinics. Islam forbids fornication, or sex outside of marriage. In some traditional societies a woman's virginity is linked with family honor and is, in fact, the main cause of the majority of honor killings

Diplomat knocks Frankfurt mayor for honoring anti-Zionist

as if we didn't know there are always Juden Rats:

In an exclusive interview with The Jerusalem Post, Nahshon said Grosser’s “extreme opinions are tainted by self-hatred.”

The Israeli Embassy has gone on the offensive to counter the growing efforts in Germany to delegitimize the Jewish state.

German governments – including local and regional ones – frequently give anti-Zionist and anti-Israel Jews prizes and speaking engagements to vent criticism of Israel. Last year, then- German president Horst Köhler issued the Federal Merit Cross, one of the country’s most prestigious awards, to Israeli lawyer Felicia Langer, who has equated Israel with Nazi Germany and the South African apartheid regime.

Speaking from France, Grosser, a sociologist, political scientist and historian born to a German- Jewish family in Frankfurt in 1925, told the Post in a telephone interview that he stands by his statement that “criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism have nothing to do with each other.

It is rather Israel’s policies that promote anti-Semitism globally.”

Grosser has compared his treatment by the Nazis in the early 1930s with Israel’s policies toward the Palestinians. His family fled to France in 1933.

The “Palestinians are despised by Israel” and Israel has “no feeling for [the] suffering in Gaza and in the territories,” He told the Post.

“It’s all about understanding the suffering of others,” he said.

“This understanding generally does not exist on the part of Jews.”

Grosser said he plans to “criticize” Israel during his speech on Tuesday and to reference Theodor Herzl in saying that there should be “no discrimination by sex and religion” in Israel.

The speaking invitation has frayed relations between the city of Frankfurt and Germany’s Jewish community. The Central Council of Jews in Germany called for Grosser to be disinvited.

The Frankfurt Jewish community issued a statement, saying, “In recent years, he has represented escalating positions that are unacceptable for us.”

Fast train between TA, J'lem to run through West Bank

via jpost.com

Critics say the long-awaited railway violates int'l law because the construction has seized "occupied Palestinian land." Ramot, where the train is due to have its Jerusalem terminus is beyond the 1949 armistice lines. Mevasseret Tziyon is beyond the 1949 armistice lines. Left-wing critics stated that the planned rail route violates international law because the construction has seized Palestinian land and won't serve Palestinian residents of the West Bank. Israeli government officials say they have taken steps to ensure that the Tel Aviv-Jerusalem line would one day benefit Palestinians. Transport Ministry spokesman Avner Ovadiah said planning has begun on an extension that would connect Gaza with the city of Ramallah, the West Bank's center of commerce and government. . But researcher Dalit Baum said that idea is "a cynical ploy that is only suggested in order to justify this train route as legal." Baum wrote a report on the project published this week by an Israeli watchdog group, the Coalition of Women for Peace. Most of the six-kilometer (nearly four-mile) stretch of the railway inside the West Bank runs through tunnels. The high-speed train would cut the trip to 28 minutes between the seaside metropolis of Tel Aviv that is Israel's business and cultural center, and the religious center and political capital of Jerusalem. The current train takes 90 minutes and is rarely used.
of course there will be friction. the armistice line is not a border.... and it should be ignored. Any unsustainable line from the past is not going to apply to the reality on the ground today.

Was Sestak THE Test For J Street? Back In July, J Street Seemed To Think So

Daled Amos
04 November '10
Back in July, the Jewish Telegraph Agency was reporting that J Street saw Sestak as an important test for J Street:

Jeremy Ben-Ami, J Street's director, acknowledged that the Pennsylvania race is a test for his group.
"There's no question that this race is a very important test of what kind of support J Street and its supporters can deliver," he said. "We will show a substantial amount of money can be raised from our political action committee, and that a substaintial amount of money can be raised for a candidate that opposes the right wing on these issues."
Donors thus far have dedicated $100,000 to Sestak's race through the J Street PAC -- a hefty chunk of the $650,000 the organization has raised this cycle.

At the same time, Ben-Ami was hedging his bets:

UNRWA allowed to take four submachine guns into Gaza

UNRWA, which enables the 'Palestinians' to maintain the myth of being 'refugees' after four generations, has been allowed by the IDF to take four submachine guns into Gaza. The weapons will be used to protect UNRWA director John Ging and UNRWA's commissioner general Fillipo Grandi. Ging has been complaining for three years that the handguns used by his security guards are not enough.

typical Bush. He is right, but he is a hypocrite for saying it because he said he didn't want to go into politics.

Palin is not qualified to be President, Bush has told friends. The Tea Party darling Palin is mulling a 2012 run for the White House.

Crown Publishers/AP

The 43rd President has told friends the ex-Alaska governor isn't qualified to be President and criticizes Arizona Sen. John McCain for putting Palin on the 2008 GOP ticket and handing her a national platform.

"Naming Palin makes Bush think less of McCain as a man," a Republican official familiar with Bush's thinking told the Daily News.
"He thinks McCain ran a lousy campaign with an unqualified running mate and destroyed any chance of winning by picking Palin."
As he prepares for the Tuesday launch of his memoir, "Decision Points," Bush scrupulously gives his successor a public pass - a statesmanlike stance urged by his father, President George H. W. Bush.
"I want my President to succeed because if my President succeeds my country succeeds, and I want my country to succeed," Bush typically says when asked about Obama.
"He won't call Obama by name but he won't trash him," a confidant noted, referring to Bush's comments in post-presidency speaking appearances, which have netted him millions, often at $100,000 or more a pop.
Still, he thinks Obama has failed as a President - a judgment supported by this week's robust Republican gains.
Several Bush friends, associates and longtime political allies said President 43 is worried about Obama's Afghanistan policy.
He supports the troop surge and more muscular drone strikes against terrorist targets, but also believes Obama has made a mess of relations with Pakistan.
"He thinks the policy is adrift," one insider reported.
Predictably, Bush also believes his tax cuts shouldn't be allowed to expire, including those for the wealthiest of Americans Obama wants to deep-six.
For the most part, Bush lets others worry about the politics these days while he focuses on building his presidential library and his lucrative speech business.

Israeli Fund Targets Cloud Start Ups

the good news is there is investment in Israel. The bad news is much of this seed money comes from the genocidal allied tech world. People like Robert Scoble and his friends were the ones who launched the bit.ly domain standard as a tech convention (they did much of this from right within Israel itself and then attempted to push Palestinian sympathy). I would be wary of the foreign culture that is coming in as a Trojan horse. If you follow public relations on twitter from Israel you might notice that they have no loyalty to Israel. CAUTION!

Israeli investors, with a U.S. partner, are creating a $25 million angel fund to focus on start-ups in the cloud computing sector.
Start Up Factory Fund 2 will help incubate Israeli start-ups, providing office space and help connect them with potential buyers or investors in California’s Silicon Valley.
“This is the bridge to the Valley,” which is ultimately where most of the companies that purchase Israeli start-ups are based, said Sani Sanilevich, co-founder and manager of Start Up Factory Fund 2.
Mr. Sanilevich said the fund will also solve a gap in Israel’s VC world, which lacks a significant number of angel investment funds, focused on smaller Internet and software start-ups. “All the funds are big and doing only two or three investments a year,” he said.
Start Up Factory Fund 2 aims to invest incrementally about $500,000 in individual Israeli start-ups — small by classic VC standards — but enough money to finance start-ups in the cloud computing sector, which usually require smaller amounts of money than those in other high-tech sectors. The fund also expects most of its start-ups to sell quickly and for under $10 million.
In addition to several Israeli investors, Iranian-born Saeed Amidi, founder and CEO of Plug and Play Tech Center in Sunnyvale, California, is putting up about one fifth of the fund’s money. PlugandPlay Tech Center is a community of about 280 high tech startups that assists entrepreneurs in raising capital, then growing and selling their companies. PlugandPlay will also work with Israeli entrepreneurs, teaching them more about doing business in the United States and connecting them to potential buyers.
Many VC firms in the United States have shifted to focusing on smaller investments, and while Israel has always had a few of these angel funds, the trend seems like it is also growing here. Sanilevich said he knows of at least three similar funds starting up in Israel, and said he expects to see more.
