Muslims Asked if They’d Shake Hands with Jews

Thanks to Dissident News for catching this MEMRI video from Arabic T.V. where random people were asked if they’d shake hands with Jews, among other things. They of course would not, but the “occupation” of Israel isn’t the main source of their bigotry despite what leftists commonly claim. The number one reason Muslims hate Jews, according to this random sample: because they’re Jews.

Orson Scott Card on the New Anti-Semitism

Orson Scott Card takes on the new wave of anti-Semitism that’s becoming popular among academics in a devastating critique of Steve Berry’s The Alexandria Link, a book Card describes this way:

“…a book that systematically and continually makes false and damaging charges against Jews, Zionists, and Israel, while denying or ignoring the massive number of betrayals, lies, atrocities, and crimes against humanity committed by Israel’s enemies.”

But the best parts of his spot on criticism of a book that reads like it was written by JewWatch founder Frank Weltner are aimed at a literary and academic culture that increasingly embraces anti-Semitism:

“This book reflects what is going on among “intellectuals” in America. Steve Berry is a lawyer. In college he majored in political science. I imagine that he has respectable, “educated” friends who believe exactly the same things he does. In fact, anti-antisemitism is now becoming quite fashionable among American “intellectuals” — proving once again how easily people can talk themselves into moral obscenities as long as they only talk to other people who think exactly like them.

I bet that Berry and all his friends are quite convinced that they are the good guys. But they would be utterly wrong in that belief. They are the poster children for the ability of smart people to believe in stupid lies — just like the people who preached in favor of slavery or segregation because, for various specious reasons, black people “deserved” or “needed” to be “taken care of” by whites.

Berry and his ilk have chosen to support lies that justify the murder of Jews — no, wait, the bigots call them “Zionists” now, don’t they, the way segregationists said “nigra” so they didn’t use the actual N-word — but at the same time, in a moral contortion that deserves to be in a sideshow, they still claim the mantle of “tolerance” and consider their enemies to be the neanderthal bigots.

Guess what, kids: You’re in bed with Adolph Hitler and with the bombers of innocent people in Palestine.”

It’s good to see people take this sort of thinking to task, and Card’s point about the dangers of presenting anti-Semitic propaganda as “background” in novels and movies will be more and more relevant as “progressives” ally themselves with Fascist organizations like Hamas and Hezbollah, and neo-Nazis like David Duke. It is happening on the fringe of the left now, and with the publication of Berry’s book, we can see this sort of hate making inroads into what was traditionally considered mainstream leftism.

David Brown: Muslim Terrorist?

The Riker’s Island inmate accused of plotting to hire a hit man to kill NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly wanted the victim beheaded and wanted One Police Plaza bombed. Beheading and bombings seem a strange request for the common criminal but are the stock and trade of Islamic radicals. As of yet, no news agency has reported that Brown is anything more then a disgruntled, violent offender but his actions are peculiar for a career criminal. It is being reported that Brown was “fed up” with the Commissioner, and his handling of the Sean Bell case.

Why would Brown, doing time for several violent offenses, care about Sean Bell? Where was Brown going to get the $65,000 he was going to pay the undercover cop posing as a hit man? Could this have been a Jihadist operation?

The recruitment of prison inmates into radical Islam is a problem that has been reported before, yet little has been done about it. Christian Fellowship programs have complained in the past of what they see as widespread radical indoctrination in the prisons, while at the same time there is little support for other religious programs to counter this dangerous phenomenon. Brown, who by all accounts spent most of his life in and out of prisons, would certainly have been exposed to Islamic recruitment.

Brown is from Brooklyn, which has a long history of Jihadism beginning in the 80’s when Mustafa Shalabi set up a recruiting ground for fighters to repel the Soviet invasion in Afghanistan. There are rumors that vestiges of his “Jihad Office” are still active, but under the radar.

Beheadings have been the calling card of Jihadist for years now and the bombing of a police station is a clear terrorist act. Like the Salt Lake Jihadist however, we may never know, or be told, the real motivations behind such a horrendous plot.

UPDATE: Suitably Flip reminds us that former Black Panther and current NYC Councilman Charles Barron called for violence against the NYPD in protest against the Sean Bell shootings. Also involved in those calls to violence: The New Black Panther Party. The NBPP is an Islamimisized neo-Communist organization dedicated to the violent overthrow of “White” society. Perhaps Browns loyalties lay more in this direction? If so, is he still considered a Muslim?

Muslim Declares in Court: “I Hate All Americans and All Jews.”

Hot Air has the story of the wild court appearance of the “Tar-Heel terrorist” who drove an SUV into a crowded college campus in an admitted Jihad attack. Many news agencies are ignoring the story, predictably but Americans can no longer afford to ignore the glaringly obvious truth. The Jihad is here and more attacks will happen until we take steps to ensure the safety of our citizens and our streets.

Join Greenpeace or Die!

At least that’s the message this kid seems to be conveying in this threatening, creepy global warming propaganda video which features him claiming that when he’s older the oceans will be lifeless and that your either his friend or his enemy. The video is one of several that Greenpeace has on YouTube.

I’m not sure what’s more disturbing, the fact that Greenpeace puts out a video threatening future violent retribution upon all who disagree with them, or that they use a pre-teen to deliver their terrorist ultimatum: Join Us or Die!
