As usual the Muslim world exploded after Friday prayers as Muslims filled with the peaceful knowledge of Allah took to the streets for the strangely effeminate orgies of violence and angst that characterize the culture of any country where fundamentalist Islam holds sway.

These protests are supposedly aimed at voicing the outrage of Muslims over Salman Rushdie receiving a Knighthood, a crime which has exposed yet again oversensitivity of Muslims when it comes to being questioned on on their faith. Of course the fact that they’ve responded by honoring Osama Bin laden is glossed over, they themselves claiming it is a equivalent response. It is this and only this which Americans need dwell on, because it exposes the truth about the Islamic world in a way that cannot be covered up by a complicit media.

No state that refers to itself as “Islamic” can ever be trusted as an ally to a western republic. This isn’t the case just because there are large swaths of Muslims who equate Salman Rushdie’s early works with mass murder, because I frankly doubt that they do for the most part. What the “sudden” affection for Bin Laden shows us is that secretly these people, some of them members and supporters of governments we blindly call allies, have always honored Bin Laden. That it is fear of Bush and a lust for our foreign aid that bonds Pakistan and other Muslim countries to us should have been obvious, but most Americans didn’t want to face that truth because of the dire implications for us. The Muslim world wants America conquered and destroyed.

Bin Laden is most famous for his “war” against the U.S. Why then is he being invoked in a disagreement between Pakistan (and the Islamic world) and Britain? Why not some Islamist from England? Because Rushdie’s Knighthood is just a pretext for Islamists to voice their real opinions. When they honor Bin Laden it isn’t in protest of Salman Rushdie, it is in celebration of the 3000 people who died on 9-11. When they call for Rushdie’s death it isn’t to right some perceived wrong, it’s to extend Islamic hegemony over the world.

Islam today is like Christianity in the middle ages, its followers are completely dedicated to spreading a theocracy around the world. Christianity’s brutality, which was extreme, was nonetheless tempered by its own theology, a reformation and a slow push toward modernity. Islam has none of those things. The only barrier to the installation of a genocidal, racist worldwide kingdom of Muslim slave owners is the resistance of the rest of the non-Muslim world, which is unfortunately next to nonexistent.

After Rushdie it’ll be the Lord of the Rings (remember the wicked men of the east who helped Sauron?) that inflames the Islamic world, then maybe Alice Cooper and eventually national sovereignty. They will riot and burn and pillage their way into dominance over us unless we stand united in defense of western tradition, freedom, liberty and today Salman Rushdie.

From The Gathering Storm:

The jihad continues to advance in cyberspace. Global Islamic Media Front Instructs Islamists to Infiltrate Popular Non-Islamic Forums to Spread Pro-Islamic State Propaganda. The Global Islamic Media Front (GIMF) has announced a new comprehensive media campaign titled “The Battar Media Raid to Defend the Islamic State [of Iraq].

In a message titled “The Battar Media Raid: How to Participate? How to Help? What Is My Role?” the GIMF announces the beginning of the campaign and provides a detailed description of the campaign’s goals and ways of accomplishing them, including infiltrating non-Islamic forums for the purpose of posting pro-ISI propaganda.

The media blitz will also include infiltration of entertainment forums:

Here’s the plan for innocent infidel entertainment sites – their end-game of the raid.

“The raid demands of you many things… such as expertise, especially in the following areas: seeking religious knowledge, montage, translation into any language, uploading material onto various types of websites, web design, graphic design, journal and publication design, and hacking and security. If you have expertise in any of these [fields], contact the GIMF representative on any of the forums. If, however, you do not possess this expertise… there are other matters you can [promote]: for example, posting matters related to the raid in most [jihad] forums… posting [material] in non-jihad forums, posting in non-Islamic forums such as music forums, youth forums, sports forums, and others. Anyone who undertakes to post the material must look into the [appropriate] manner of spreading [the material for each type of forum]… The way in which members of music forums address one another differs from the way members of jihad forum address one another.”

Counter jihad activists should be alert and pro active in dealing with this menace.

From CNSN:

Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., this week, the Somali-born Hirsi Ali said the 21st century began with a battle of ideas “about the values of the West versus those of Islam.”

“Journalists … face the unpleasant reality of taking sides or getting lost in the incoherence of the so-called middle ground,” she said. “The role of journalists serving the West, who understand what this particular battle is about, will be to inform their audiences accordingly.”

Hirsi Ali said journalists must acknowledge the discrepancies between tenets of Islam and foundational beliefs of the West before they can accurately report on Islamic-related events.

Although Hirsi Ali praised journalists’ work since the Sept. 11th attacks, she said reluctance to defend Western values against Islamic threats surprises her.

“Why are Westerners so insecure about everything that is so wonderful about the West: political freedom, free press, freedom of expression, equal rights for women and men and gays and heterosexuals, critical thinking, and the great strength of scrutinizing ideas – and especially faith?” Hirsi Ali asked.

She said Western journalists appeared hesitant to defend free speech – “the very right from which they earn their bread.”

She’s making some assumptions here as to the loyalty of western journalists to western traditions. I’d put forward that after several years in a in a liberal echo chamber, which is unfortunately what almost all Journalism programs have become, most supposed journalists are more likely to be loyal to whatever is trendily referred to as “progressive” than to any abstract ideal like freedom of speech. Thus journalists are more than willing to support the restricting of free speech or women’s rights if it is framed in a “progressive” narrative like the fairness doctrine or fighting Islamophobia. Ali holds out hope that western journalist can be swayed however:

In her speech, Hirsi Ali said the West is battling for its cornerstone ideas of political freedom, freedom of expression and equality for women. Islam, on the other hand, is hostile to everything Western, she said.

Muslims, Jews and Christians should have equal access to Western freedoms, but some basic teachings of Islam inevitably hold Muslims back from fully assimilating into Western society – particularly teachings about women, she said.

“This obsession with subjugating women is one of the things that makes Islam so low,” Hirsi Ali said. “And the agents of Islam … know that any improvement in the lives of women will lead to the demise of Islam and a disappearance of their power. This is why, among other things, they are so desperate to cage in women. This is why they also hate the West.”

She challenged journalists directly. “If we do not understand the differences between Islam and the West – why one is so great and the other so low – and we don’t fight back and win this battle of ideas in order to preserve our civilization, in my view there is no point to your profession or mine,” she said.

A Muslim journalist in the audience said Hirsi Ali was too aggressive and disrespectful toward Islam.

That last sentence says it all, doesn’t it.
