Suicidal Tendencies of the West
(29May05) “….Worse still, a whole revisionist history in which the intolerant, imperialistic conqueror is transformed into the tolerant, peace-loving victim of Western imperialism is propagated by self-loathing Westerners whose bigotry against their own culture confirms the Islamist view that we are indeed Godless heathens and spiritual cripples.” writes Bruce Thornton in Suicidal Tendencies of the West “....flabby tolerance is the camouflage of moral exhaustion, and respect for the culture of the "other" is merely an expression of disbelief in the value of one's own…..Increasingly we Westerners resemble the Eloi of H.G. Wells' The Time Machine , beautiful, gentle, highly civilized hedonists whose fate is to be devoured raw by the brutal Morlocks…”
(23May05) Fairness, impartiality and objectivity are the essence of public service broadcast journalism writes Melanie Phillips in Bias at the Beeb …..however, an explosive insider's account threatens to blow this cosy assumption clean out of the water as a fraud upon the public. Robin Aitken, who spent his entire career as a BBC journalist, has written a book “Taking Sides: Bias at the Beeb” accusing the BBC of institutionalised leftism. In Aitken's words, there is a centre-left consensus at the BBC that colours its entire output and undermines its impartiality….. On issue after issue, the BBC throws impartiality to the winds…..Even more alarmingly, they think their position represents the centre ground. They therefore think that those who oppose it are extreme. So their idea of balance is utterly unbalanced, and they subscribe to a thought system that is closed .
(20May05) “..The Newsweek riots show that the head should be engaged as quickly as the heart … If you're a good Muslim, your very identity and dignity are bound up in revering the Koran. It's the literal word of God. Unsullied. Untouched. Unedited. Unlike the other holy books…” writes Irshad Manji in The Times . Why don't we Muslims grow up? “…Sorry. That argument just doesn't wash. One can appreciate the Koran's inherent worth, as I do, while recognising that it contains ambiguities, inconsistencies, outright contradictions — and the possibility of human editing….”
'Newsweek dissembled, Muslims dismembered!
(20May05) “…When ace reporter Michael Isikoff had the scoop of the decade, a thoroughly sourced story about the president of the United States having an affair with an intern and then pressuring her to lie about it under oath, Newsweek decided not to run the story…” 'Newsweek dissembled, Muslims dismembered! ' “… Why no pause for reflection when Isikoff had a story about American interrogators at Guantanamo flushing the Quran down the toilet?..” If this comparative piece by Anne Coulter isn't proof positive of an agenda at Newsweek and in other parts of the media then we certainly live in a topsy turvey, hall of mirrors.

We (Muslims) Will Rule America; Israel is a Cancer;
(20May05) The following are excerpts from this week's official Friday sermon on Palestinian Authority (PA) TV.(1) The preacher is Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris, a paid employee of the PA. To view the sermon .
"Allah has tormented us with 'the people most hostile to the believers' - the Jews. 'Thou shalt find that the people most hostile to the believers to be the Jews and the polytheists.' Allah warned His beloved Prophet Muhammad about the Jews, who had killed their prophets, forged their Torah, and sowed corruption throughout their history.
"With the establishment of the state of Israel , the entire Islamic nation was lost, because Israel is a cancer spreading through the body of the Islamic nation, and because the Jews are a virus resembling AIDS, from which the entire world suffers. "You will find that the Jews were behind all the civil strife in this world. The Jews are behind the suffering of the nations.. . ."

French Schools Lurch Towards Islamization
(8May05) France 's educational system appears headed towards meltdown. An article by Olivier Guitta in the May 9th Weekly Standard reports that a leaked study conducted between October 2003 and May 2004 under the auspices of France's inspector-general of education, Jean Pierre Obin, describes an educational system that is cracking under the strain of a growing, non-assimilating Muslim population. French Schools Lurch Towards Islamization from Moonbat.
Orbin found that Muslim students regularly boycott classes that concern Voltaire, Rousseau and Moliere, whom the students accuse of being anti-Islamic. The students also protest the Crusades and frequently deny the Holocaust. Orbin's report cites Muslim students' refusal to use the "plus" sign in mathematics because it looks like a crucifix; Muslims boycotting class trips to churches, cathedrals and monasteries; and forcing wholesale changes in school lunch fare to accommodate their religious and cultural practices.
Britain's new Treason of the Clerks
(8May05) The aim of the academic boycott is to dehumanize Israel , to turn it into the South Africa of the new century . This is now standard procedure. It is how the Left put African tyrants like Robert Mugabe into power. It is exactly why they slander America, day after day, in the Euromedia. Britain's new Treason of the Clerks (Bureaucrats) from the American Thinker.
The Soviet Union is long gone, but the bureaucrats (clerks) have learned nothing. They are still trashing democracies that are threatened by aggression….The once-fearless British Broadcasting Corporation is now a captive donkey of the hard Left… It was Europe 's bureaucrats (clerks) who conceived of National Socialism a century before the Nazis came to power. It was they who connived at Hitler's Final Solution, and they who carried out Lenin's bloody war on the peasants of Russia and the Ukraine ….”
"The Soviet Union is long gone, but the clerks have learned nothing. They are still trashing democracies that are threatened by aggression. In stark contrast, Europe covered up mass murders in Rwanda and the Sudan for years, because telling the truth might embarrass their good friends in the Third World. Murdered children don't bother the Left, unless they are politically useful children. "
Is Swedish Democracy Collapsing?
(8May05) Is Swedish Democracy Collapsing?? “….The threats against Sweden should serve as a lesson to those who still claim that Islamic terrorism is caused by "Israeli aggression" or "American foreign policy".....It ( Sweden ) subsidizes Palestinian terror conferences at a time when anti-Jewish harassment by Muslims is so bad that Swedish Jews sign up for service in the IDF to escape.
IKEA, one of its largest companies, censors its own manuals in order not to offend Muslims…”. Is Swedish Democracy Collapsing?
“….Few areas in Sweden are worse hit by the current troubles than Malmö, the nation's third largest city. According to some estimates, the rapidly growing Muslim immigrant population may turn Malmö into a Muslim majority city within about ten years. It will be the first major Scandinavian city to enjoy this honor, although perhaps not the last..... In Husby, a Stockholm suburb, gangs of immigrant youngsters are harassing other visitors who come to use the swimming pool. A Swedish school class was attacked and robbed by a large group of teenage boys shouting "Swedish bastards! (Svennejävlar) You don't belong here!" The police in Husby are aware of the problem, but say it is an integration problem that the police can't solve alone….”
