Herman Cain vows if he becomes President he won’t appoint any Muslims to his administration

Why is it that only black politicians seem to have the cojones to say about Muslims what everyone else is feeling but is scared to death by ‘political correctness to say?

My dream team for 2012 would be Allen West for President and Herman Cain for VP.
According to left wing loons at Think Progress...
As the Republican presidential nomination process begins, one GOP candidate is making a name for himself as the “Islamophobia” candidate: Herman Cain. Earlier this week, Cain gave an interview to Christianity Today in which he declared that, “based upon the little knowledge that I have of the Muslim religion, you know, they have an objective to convert all infidels or kill them.”
ThinkProgress caught up with the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza today at the Conservative Principles Conference in Des Moines, Iowa, to discuss his comments further. We asked him, in light of his statements on Islam, would he be comfortable appointing any Muslims in his administration. Rather than skirting the question or hedging his answer, as most presidential aspirants are wont to do, Cain was definitive: “No, I would not.” Listen to the rest here:

...but not all black people see the light when it comes to the threat of Islam. NAACP Joins with CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood to Muzzle Free Speech in Ohio

Mansfield News Journal: Mansfield school chief pulls plug on ‘anti-Islamic’ tea party event

(h/t: Weasel Zippers, vagabond trader)

1:40 PM, Mar. 28, 2011
MANSFIELD — A Mansfield North Central Ohio Tea Party Association event featuring a speaker on radical Islam will go on at 7 p.m. today as planned, but in a different location.
Usama Dakdok will speak at Premier Office Complex, 1456 Park Avenue West, Suite J. Attendees are advised to bring lawn chairs.
The group had planned to meet at its usual location at the high school until this morning, when Mansfield City Schools Superintendent Dan Freund, citing safety concerns, withdrew permission for the group to meet there.
Speaking at a 10:30 a.m. press conference at the school’s central office, 856 W. Cook Road, Freund said that, after consulting with Mansfield City Police, the school decided it could not guarantee public safety at a Mansfield North Central Ohio Tea Party Association event scheduled for 7 p.m. [emphasis added]
In his comments, Freund said the district’s decision was prompted by safety concerns and not by the presumed content of the scheduled speaker’s message.
The Mansfield Branch of NAACP followed with a press conference of their own at 11 a.m.
Shortly after 7:30 a.m. today, the NAACP announced it would hold a joint press conference at 11 a.m. to ask the Mansfield City Schools Board of Education and superintendent to withdraw permission for the tea party meeting tonight. Around 10 a.m., the superintendent’s office annnounced a press conference for 10:30 a.m.
According to a press release issued this morning, NAACP will be joined at the 11 a.m. press conference by representatives from the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR, emphasis added], Mansfield Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance and other civic community leaders.
NAACP is asking for a “rigorous review” of the school’s facilities use guidelines and policies before an event scheduled for Mansfield Senior High School community room at 7 p.m. today.
Mansfield North Central Ohio Tea Party Association, which meets regularly at the high school, will host guest speaker Usama Dakdok. The press release announcing his appearance said that Dakdok will “reveal the ways that we are not just losing our freedoms, but that we are surrendering them to our enemy, radical Islam. He will explain what Islam is and what Muslims believe.” The event is open to the public and, according to the tea party press release “a freewill offering will be taken.”
[...]
The NAACP press release states: “We must stand together as a community and realize there exists many, diverse cultures in America. We as Americans have a right to choose whatever religion we wish to follow. It is our country’s diversity which has made us a nation rich in cultural experience and our children have a right to know that whatever faith they choose to follow, that they will not be judged by their color or religion, but by the content of their character.”…

Leftists Admit: The Arabs Initiate The Violence

like summer camp...for adults...

From a long article here in The Nation by Jospeh Dana and Noam Sheizaf:-

...After a while, one of the local Palestinians gathers the Israelis and internationals and explains the reasons for the protest, thanking everyone for coming. Then an Israeli activist gives a more technical briefing: how to deal with tear gas, how to avoid injuries, what to say if you get caught by the soldiers. “Don’t be afraid to get arrested,” he tells his listeners, some of them first-timers and clearly nervous. “Make sure someone knows where you are. You will probably be released within a few hours. Only Palestinians are kept in jail for long periods.”
After the briefing, the Palestinians lead the Israelis and international activists to the edge of the village, with more protesters joining them along the way. Half a mile down the road lies the security barrier, where some twenty soldiers can be seen on the other side. As the protesters approach, the soldiers rush through a gate in the fence, blocking their path, while the protesters chant “Viva Palestine!” and “Free Palestine!” They carry signs in Hebrew, Arabic and English demanding an end to the occupation. Finally, both sides halt, with only a few yards separating them. Itzik, an Israeli activist who has been coming to the demos for five years, carries a Palestinian flag. Like some of the other veteran protesters in Bil’in, he is wearing goggles to protect his eyes from tear gas. Another Israeli activist calls out to the soldiers in Hebrew, “You don’t belong here! Get off the village’s land!”
“You are violating a closed military zone order,” an army officer retorts. “If you don’t leave, you and your friends will be arrested.”
“I was invited here by the people of this village,” comes the answer. “It’s you who are invading it!”
After half an hour of standing and shouting, someone throws a stone. As if they were waiting for this moment, the soldiers respond immediately. Tear gas and stun grenades are thrown at the protesters, with more fired from afar. A disorganized, rushed retreat begins. Back at the village’s edge, the protesters regroup and try to march again toward the fence. This time the soldiers fire tear gas before the activists can get close. On the sides of the road, between the olive trees, Palestinian teens—the shabab, as they are known in Arabic—continue to hurl stones, and IDF snipers respond with rubber-coated bullets, which can be deadly. Gradually, the confrontation begins to assume the nature of a ritual, with both sides testing the other’s patience and resilience. But it’s a deadly game: this past December, Jawaher Abu-Rahma collapsed during a protest after inhaling massive amounts of tear gas [but she was not at the demo and her subsequent death was due to a wrong injection being given - what's known as doctor's error - not due to the IDF]. She was rushed to a Ramallah hospital, where she died the following morning. This was a year and a half after her brother, Bassam, was killed when a soldier fired a tear gas canister at his chest, also during an unarmed protest.

Don't trust left-wing radical and progressive sources for reliable information on what goes on in Judea and Samarfia as it is mostly propaganda and unsubtantiated if not outright lies.

Pittsburgh Pirates Relocating?

Somali Pirates?

(CBN)The City of Pittsburgh, Pa, home of the Major League baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates is abuzz with shock and outrage over the discovery of secretly recorded meeting between between Pirates majority Owner  Robert Nutting and General Manager Neal Huntington .
The bizarre exchange occurred last year in Nutting’s office at the conclusion of the Pirates 3rd worst season in Club History finishing 57-105, leading to the firing of manager John Russell.  The outrage over their 18th consecutive losing season with no real hope for 2011 improvement prompted the recent front page headline, “WHO THE HELL ARE THESE GUYS” in the local Pittsburgh newspaper.  Click the link for a transcript via Brian Cuban of the secretly recorded conversation.

The OIC is Islamophobic

Anyone who truly knows Islam and has the courage to be honest about it, Must confess that Islam its self is guilty of disbelieverophobia this is a simple fact the Qur’an and hadith’s in fact are so full of phobic fear and hatred of disbelief and disbelievers, that they command the utmost evil on those who disbelieve and have persecuted and killed disbelievers sense the very formation of Islam.

Just wondering !!

In fact Islam is so phobic and hate filled towards the disbelief that it will even turn on its own, In witch hunts against those accused of disbelief the Qur’an commands horrible dreadful tortures and murder and even the ultimate evil of eternal hell, for those who disbelieve in the right of Muhammad that ancient dead barbarian of olds right to rule the lives of the living.
Muhammad was a horrible man and a brutal tyrant who not only threatened peoples very lives to get his way, But he threatened there eternity as well, insisted they would live for ever but in an agony greater then any could ever comprehend an agony far worse then death could ever be,, , So intense is this phobia of disbelievers and disbelief that Islam waged war against the disbelievers, and called it holy. The Qur’an that hate manual against the disbelievers so filled with phobic hate is praised as Holy by believers {in Islam } everywhere !
Disbelievers have suffered every manor of persecution at the hand of believers because of the disbeliever ophobia preaching in Islam, and yet few are they who dare to stand up for the persecuted disbelievers. In fact one of Islam’s newest ploys Is a new word created solely for the cause of persecution of the disbelievers, The word Islamophobia A word which by definition and a good look at the history of Islam and the words and deeds of Islam today,, Prove the word more readily applies to Muslims then it does the disbelievers! Islamophobia is an irrational fear of Islam, The OIC is the Organization of the Islamic Conference a wealthy and powerful organization of Islamic nations, In constant witch hunts , persecutes those who disbelieve even touts the world Islamophobia like a weapon to be used against any who would defended the dreaded disbelievers .
Yet a close inspection of the OIC will show that they themselves are so phobic of the disbelievers they have become Islamophobic so afraid of the threats there beloved Muhammad made against disbelief that they persecute believers out of witch hunt type fears of those who disbelieve.
Islamophobia irrational fear of Islam, The general secretary of the OIC

………………………………….
Is so Islamophobic and disbelieverophobic That he s from the Islamic nation of Saudi Arabia a land known the world over for its persecution of the disbeliever and its persecution of Shia Muslims as well as other muslims, Yet Mr Abdula Manafi , Is so phobic of Islam that he fears that truth which might offend Islam,
These people are so terrified so phobic of Islam that they fear truth its self if truth might offend Islam, After all with Islam;s history of extreme hatred and violence even threat of eternal damnation ,, Who can blame these people for being such phobics ? Lets fact it there Qur’an its self demands there fear and demands terror as well they can not deny that. In fact every nation in the OIC has been guilty of phobic driven persecution of muslims and disbelievers alike. But the OIC is a very wealthy and powerful tyrant who’s extreme phobia enhanced bias has had it demanding global laws to protect it from any truth which might offend the dreaded Islam…Because they know all to well the evils there Muhammad and there Allah and there Islam are capable of. And they are not unlike other much smaller Islamic groups around the world.. I have often heard the pot calling the kettle black phrase, But Islam’s hypocrisy on this one is far ,far greater then that. So great has the hypocrisy been, That millions have suffered for it. Yet still these cowards dare not hold Islam responsible for its own sins and continue to make scapegoats of innocent men women and children. And they have the money and the power to do it.. But only because we disbelievers have let them get away with it after all disbelievers still out number believers!

Jews, Non-Jews and Ethics

Following the recent terrorist attack in Jerusalem, I came across a predictably biased media report. Toward the end of an ITN news segment, the reporter says, "Israeli police called the bombing a 'terrorist attack' - their term for a Palestinian strike." Wow. Someone leaves a bomb in a bus station filled with innocent civilians, and that's merely a strike?! Just in case this reporter needs a refresher course, there's a huge difference between guerrilla warfare and terrorism: guerrillas strike military forces; terrorists target civilians. Apparently, Israeli civilians don't count. Listen closely at around 0:52 of the video:

It's incredibly frustrating to witness the constant double standard directed against Jews and Israel. While we have every right to call out such prejudice, we can't let it affect us to the point where we stop doing what is right. Despite the fact that virulent anti-Semites will always blame Jews no matter how ethically we behave, the same is not true for everyone else. Whether we're dealing with difficult people in our personal lives or the world-at-large, it's easy to fall into the trap of rationalizing that we only have to act ethically toward those with whom we agree. This might be emotionally satisfying, but Judaism demands more than that.
Sefer Mitzvot Gadol (152b) states that we cannot mislead anyone - Jew or non-Jew - in any matter. If we were to cheat other people, particularly in financial dealings, they will say that God chose a nation of thieves and deceivers. This kind of Chilul Hashem (desecration of God's name) is among the worst of sins. Furthermore, who would want to abide by the Seven Noahide Laws (which were transmitted through us), let alone convert to Judaism, if we act this way? On the other hand, when we conduct ourselves along the highest ethical standards, we create a Kiddush Hashem (sanctification of God's name).
The Chofetz Chaim provides a great example by way of a story told over by his son. There was once an incident involving workers at a Warsaw printing press where some of his books were being prepared for publication. Late in the afternoon on a Friday, one of the workers saw the Chofetz Chaim running down a small side street. It was an odd sight to see him at such an hour because it was almost time for Shabbat. It didn't take long before word spread about what had happened. The Chofetz Chaim discovered that one of the workers at the printing press left before being paid. In order not to violate the prohibition against not paying a worker's wages on time (Deuteronomy 24:14-15), the Chofetz Chaim found out the man's home address and rushed to pay him.
When God speaks to Jacob in Genesis 28:14, He says, "and through you and your descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed." This is quite a lofty calling, but one that we can fulfill on any given day by engaging in ethical behavior. If non-Jews have good encounters with Jews, they will feel blessed. However, if non-Jews feel unfairly treated, we inevitably create a terrible Chilul Hashem. From this idea, perhaps we can draw a kal vachomer (an inference from minor to major). If we're supposed to strive for impeccable behavior around non-Jews, how much more so should we act decently toward one another. Like charity, good behavior should start at home.
Related to this issue, Dennis Prager has an interesting observation. He suggests that one of the most important days in a religious person's life is when they meet a member of a different religion - or of a different denomination within their own religion - who is both a good and intelligent individual. Such an encounter forces a person to consider that the other group's followers are not all bad or unintelligent. We're perfectly free to believe that members of other religions - or of other denominations within Judaism - are theologically flawed. But does that mean they are bad people? Not necessarily. Whether or not they engage in ethical behavior determines the answer to that question.

Israel-Hamas War is Inevitable

Egypt’s revolution plus U.S. government mistakes makes Israel-Hamas war inevitable.

I‘m going to make a prediction here that, unfortunately, I’m sure will come true. Any good analyst should be able to see this, yet few will until it happens within the next one or two years:

The Egyptian revolution and U.S. policy mistakes make a new Israel-Hamas war inevitable, and as a result it will be a lot more of an international mess.

Why?
First, Hamas, which rules the Gaza Strip, is a revolutionary Islamist movement that views itself as directed by God’s will; considers Jews to be subhuman; believes that a willingness to court suicide and welcome death and destruction will bring victory; is certain that it is going to destroy Israel; and is determined to transform Palestinian society into an Islamic utopia, no matter how many people it has to kill. It is indifferent to the well-being, or even physical survival, of the Palestinians it rules.
And not one word of that is an exaggeration.
Given this situation, there are only two ways to stop Hamas from waging war on Israel. A shorter-range solution is deterrence through strength and weakening Hamas with tough sanctions. The defeat Israel inflicted on Hamas in the 2008-2009 war and the tight sanctions in place until 2010 forced the organization to retrench and be cautious for a while.
The only longer-term solution is the overthrow of the Hamas regime in the Gaza Strip and the maximum possible destruction of that group’s leadership, structures, and resources.
Events in Egypt and U.S. policy, however, have destroyed this shorter-range solution and made impossible the longer-range one.
If Hamas is confident, it will go to war. With more and better weapons, Hamas will go to war. If it believes that the international environment is permissive — much less supportive! — it will go to war. It’s only a matter of timing.
Second, the Egyptian revolution removed a regime that defined its own and Egypt’s national interest as having an anti-Hamas policy. The Mubarak government did not maintain sanctions and an (imperfect) blockade of weapons’ shipments out of concern for Israel.
No. It did so because the Egyptian government saw revolutionary Islamism as the main threat to the country and to itself. This was not, as current U.S. officials claim, some cynically manipulated mirage to justify dictatorship. Rather, it was a very logical policy.
In addition to the direct threat of Hamas subverting Egypt in cooperation with Islamist groups in the country, the Mubarak government saw Hamas as part of a broader Iran-led strategic threat to Egypt, Sunnis, and Arabs generally.
A new government in Egypt, whether radical nationalist, Islamist, or “liberal democratic” will have the opposite view.
The Muslim Brotherhood views Hamas as its closest ally and wants it to overthrow the Palestinian Authority as well as to destroy Israel.
The nationalists support Hamas as part of the Arab struggle against Israel.
The “liberal democrats” do so because they know this is a very popular position with Egyptians and to oppose it would reduce their already tiny base of support to zero. Remember that April 6 Youth Movement, the young Facebook-using liberals who launched the revolution? Well, it engaged in two activities before that: one was to free imprisoned bloggers; the other was to end sanctions against the Hamas regime in Gaza.
And so, Hamas knows that it now has an ally, rather than an enemy, at its back. Moreover, there is no incentive in Egypt — or among its nationalist and Islamist-sympathetic officers — to block arms smuggling into the Gaza Strip. As a result, Hamas is stronger and more confident, and hence arrogant and reckless. It is better able to launch rockets, mortars, and cross-border attacks, and far more eager to do so. Hamas is also able to get longer-range missiles and other new types of weapons.
As for U.S. policy, while supporting some sanctions on Hamas and refusing to deal directly with the group, the U.S. government has not supported overthrowing the Gaza regime, though any serious assessment of U.S. interests show this should be a priority. A policy to destroy Hamas should be part of the war against Iranian hegemony in the region, revolutionary Islamism, terrorism, and instability. Even more, doing so would aid the moribund Israel-Palestinian peace process and keep the Palestinian Authority in power.
But there is no appreciation for these points in Washington. When it comes to fighting revolutionary Islamism, U.S. policy sees the Middle East as a no-try zone.
What makes matters worse, is the Obama Administration’s demand — after being shaken by a small incident in which about a half-dozen Islamist militants were killed on a ship after they attacked Israeli soldiers — to minimize sanctions. And then, out of misplaced humanitarian concern, the U.S. government deliberately, albeit indirectly, pumped hundreds of millions of dollars into the Gaza Strip, thus strengthening Hamas and its popular base of support.
By such behavior, the Obama Administration is not just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic; it’s enlarging the hole below the ship’s water-line, arguing that by doing so it is moderating the ocean.
This strategy ensures that there would be a genocidal-oriented, revolutionary Islamist, subversion-spreading, anti-American, brutally repressive, anti-Christian, woman-oppressing, Iranian client regime on the Mediterranean. What’s really alarming is that the previous sentence is not in the least bit exaggerated. We’re talking about a Taliban-equivalent regime here.
Now, U.S. support for a transformation of Egypt with no idea where that would lead, has helped turn that enemy of Hamas into a Hamas ally. The Obama Administration has also supplied one more reason why revolutionary Islamists feel as if the future belongs to them, America is finished in the region, and why they should be even more bold and aggressive.
Much of the escalation of attacks on Israel now is the result of Hamas getting new weapons and escalating its use of terrorism on all levels. In addition, we are seeing no significant international action or even criticism of this behavior. On the contrary, the more terrorism Hamas commits, the more Israel is criticized in the Western media.
Terrorism works; aggression goes unpunished. Why be surprised that Hamas becomes increasingly confident and aggressive?
It is only a matter of time until Hamas once again does what it did at the end of 2008: launch a larger-scale assault on Israel. At that point, Israel will have to respond by a major attack on the Gaza Strip.
What will happen? Will Egypt remain neutral? Will its government stop the Muslim Brotherhood and other sympathizers rush arms, money, and even armed Egyptian volunteers into the Gaza Strip? Will the West blame Israel, instead of itself, for the violence? Will the United States take any productive action at all?
This crisis is inevitable, though it might take one or at most two years to happen. Yet nobody outside Israel sees — or wants to see — what’s coming.
After this article was published, I read Shaul Mofaz’s views on the Gaza situation. He is the highest-ranking former military man in the opposition to the government in Israel and is the most likely alternative leader of the Kadima Party. I note that he sees the situation in similar terms.

Norwegian hasbara: 'Norwegian warriors do not seek to kill'

Yesterday state broadcaster NRK published an article on how Norwegian forces in Libya have as their intention not to kill, but merely to knock out Ghadaffi’s military material, such as tanks.

See the original article here. The edited version above is a contribution from a reader (Thanks Michel! ). Here we see the original statement “Norwegian planes have bombed tanks in Libya” struck through and replaced with a similar statement saying “Israeli planes have bombed tanks in Gaza”, with the following statement remaining unchanged: “The intention was not to kill”.
Can you imagine NRK ever publishing a news story like the one above? Of course not.
This incident illustrates how the fundamental attribution error works: When the NRK sees Israel bomb targets in Gaza, NRK assumes it is because Israel is bellicose. When the NRK sees Norway bomb targets in Libya, NRK assumes it is because Norway is noble. Since killing in not particularly noble, Norway is not in Libya to kill but to knock out hostile military targets.
Let us see how NRK covers it next time Israeli planes attack hostile elements in Gaza.

The Islamisation of Nigeria comes with a feminist Streak.

...so Nigeria supports
Osama Bin Ladin

more then
any other country,

but they also
seem to have an

odd feminist streak

for a country dealing

with a strong
Islamic presence

"More than six-in-ten (63%)
Muslim men in Nigeria
favor the stoning of people
who commit adultery,
while 36% oppose it;
Muslim women in that country
are evenly divided,
with 49% saying they
favor and the same number
saying they oppose
the stoning of adulterers.
When it comes to the death penalty
for those who leave Islam,
Muslim men in Nigeria
are clearly supportive
(58% favor and 39% oppose),
while a majority
of their female counterparts
(54%) are against the death penalty
for those who
leave the Muslim religion;
44% of Muslim women
in Nigeria favor it.
Finally, while majorities
of Muslim men
and women in Nigeria
favor punishments
like whippings and
cutting off of hands for crimes
like theft and robbery,
men are somewhat
more likely than women
to say they favor these strict measures
(69% of men vs. 61% of women)."

In Nigeria:

"...Muslim men are considerably
more likely than Muslim women
to say gender segregation
should be the law;

57% of Muslim men in Nigeria
favor gender segregation,
compared with 41%
of Muslim women
in that country."

"Nigerian Muslims stand apart as
the only Muslim public surveyed
where views of al Qaeda and
Bin Laden are,
on balance, positive.

About half of Muslims in Nigeria
express favorable views of the extremist group(49%)
and say they have at least some confidence in its leader
(48%), while just 34% offer
negative opinions of al Qaeda
and 40% express little or
no confidence in bin Laden."

one can assume that countries
that go "fundamentalist"
(a bullshit word I admit)
go fundamentalist
in more then one way.

it is very
obvious from Nigeria:
that the women there
are just as rhetorical as
their Islamic hardline men.

The real solutions
to these wars
will not be resolved
until the
"Leftist Progressives"
realize that they
are part of the problem.

Feminism and Socialism
can be just as dogmatic
as any other world view...
but I doubt you will
see Gloria Steinem
owe up to that

Explains a few things about feminism:

very odd:

"Among Nigerian Muslims, nearly the same percentage favor making segregation of men and women in the workplace the law in their country (49%) as oppose it (48%)"

via pewglobal.org


sadly the West has proposed the fight vs. Islam to be allied with feminism, but the truth is that feminism is a polarity of a fundamentalist patriarchy
