Another Pop Quiz for JQWorld Readers

.

Here's another pop quiz: Who said the following?

"I would say (we need to send another) 20,000 to 30,000 (troops to Iraq), for the specific purpose of making sure those (Islamist & insurgent) militias are dismantled, working in concert with the Iraqi military…

"(W)e certainly can’t leave Iraq and run the risk that it becomes (like) Afghanistan… (W)e could not allow Iraq to become a safe haven for Al Qaeda, for Hamas, for Hizbullah, or anybody else. We cannot allow Iran or Syria to have a free hand in there to further destabilize the Middle East.

"We’re all interested in getting out of Iraq. That’s a common goal. How we do it, I think, is the tough part. There are those that say, they don’t care what Iraq looks like once we leave there. ‘Let’s just leave there,’ (they say). And I argue against that. I don’t think that’s responsible. And I think it plays right into the hands of Syria and Iran.”

Is the correct answer:

(a) President Bush

(b) Vice President Cheney

(c) Secretary of State Rice

(d) A representative of Halliburton

(e) A conservative Republican Senator or Representative

(f) Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity

(g) William Kristol / another signatory of the PNAC

(h) A FreeRepublic / TownHall “warmongering chickenhawk coward”

(i) Another “brainwashed fascist warmonger”

Give up?

OK, I admit --- it was a trick question.

None of the above uttered that quote.

Scroll down for the real culprit.










No, further.

Answer: Congressman Silvestre Reyes (D-Texas) said that, on December 6, 2006, shortly after it was announced that incoming “Speaker” Nancy Pelosi was going to appoint him to be Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. And unironically, Reyes's statement was made just before President Bush made almost the exact same statement --- an act that leading Democrats claimed he should be impeached for.

Which begs the question:

Is this why we haven’t heard anything further from Chairman Reyes?

The only people in the Democratic Party that we’ve heard from (almost exclusively) have been those who’ve echoed the party line of defeat, surrender and withdrawl.

Stay tuned to JQWorld in the next few days for a new, blockbuster analysis of the shameless way in which the rabid left in America:

• Has been so instrumental in subverting the American military's efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan, and encouraging our enemies .

• Hopes to use such lies and propaganda in preparation for and after the release of "The Petraeus Report," to snatch a final, definitive defeat from the jaws of the remarkable progress that US forces have been making in those theaters

Michael Vick Does The Linguistic Twist

.

Oh, for the days when words actually meant things. Specific things. When they had objective definitions.

But as George Orwell foresaw, when government controls education and communications, a culture's language is generally the first thing to suffer the assault; "war is peace," and so on. In a thousand ways, we are now witnessing the cashing-in of this phenomena, right here in America.

Today, we have the grotesque spectacle of Michael Vick, who, to the casual observer, should have been on top of the world --- a mega million dollar NFL career, good looks, and all the material comforts, prosperity and security that America's race hustlers and victim-crats (white, black, red and brown) keep saying are eluding minorities.

But all that wasn't quite enough for Vick.

No, he had to go and commit unspeakable acts of barbarous cruelty to dogs, that amounted to torture*. And when these dogs had no further use for him and his depraved friends, they killed them with their own, bare hands. (*I normally supplement my posts with appropriate pictures, but in this case, I don't have the stomach for it; just Google "Vick dogfighting" and you'll see what I'm talking about; don't do this if you've just eaten, or ever plan to eat again)

As a dog lover and one who works in the legal field, upon hearing stories like this is the past, I have expressed to friends my belief that maniacs who perpetrate this level of barbarity upon creatures as sentient and loving as dogs should be subjected to the exact type of abuse that they dished out. Especially if it is being done for no purpose other than one’s own amusement, or for something as petty as gambling.

(And as one who recently recovered from a near-death situation, I cannot even begin to express my renewed sense of appreciation for my own dog, and how much she has helped me through this, just by her being... her).

We have a “civil” justice system, however, that would not permit such “cruel and unusual punishment.” So in all likelihood, Vick will only have to pay a hefty fine (for the abuse, and the gambling), serve time in a safe, warm prison cell, and then live out the rest of his life in some degree of luxury and security.

But Vick and his sleazeball attorney weren’t quite through perpetrating their outrages. No, they had to go just a bit further, and in a classic case of Clintonian double-speak, claim that he "accepts full responsibility" for this “mistake.” From the Orlando Sentinel:

Vick's lead attorney, William "Billy" Martin, issued a statement on Monday.

"After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick asked that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding the charges pending against him. Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter," the statement said.

A “mistake.”

(But Vick's attorney wasn't the only one to use this misnomer; so did the LA Times, and the Minneapolis Star-Tribune)

Let’s be clear: A “mistake” is when one is walking through a park and inadvertently steps in dog squeeze. Or, when one accidentally enters the wrong figure in his checkbook.

A “mistake” is not what happens when one is walking down the street and deliberately punches a person in the face. Or when one betrays the trust and confidence of a friend who'd done her no wrong. Or when a top-level political leader sticks his, ahem, you know, into the mouth of an intern entrusted to his supervision (“Mistakes were made…”).

Or when one deliberately brutalizes, injures, disfigures and then kills dogs. No, that is the trademark sign of a sadistic son of a bitch.

Hey, Michael Vick: I sure hope no “mistakes” happen to you while you’re serving time in the graybar hotel that you’ve now accepted a reservation at.

And I sure hope that when you get out, a bunch of vicious dogs don’t maul you for their own amusement.

(Actually, that's not quite true. I hope that the attempt is made, then stopped --- so that perhaps you will finally grasp the horror and brutality that you and your miscreant friends dished out to dogs that were trusting you to care for them.)

Right back atcha, Michael Vick.

August 6 Update to Roundup Of Western Government-Enforced Dhimmitude

.

This is the July 31 - August 6 update to the master directory, Roundup Of Western Government-Enforced Dhimmitude:

Hat-tips to fans of JQWorld who've sent in story links, and to stories sourced from the real heavy-lifters who document these things, primarily JihadWatch, DhimmiWatch, Daniel Pipes, AmericanThinker, LittleGreenFootballs, AtlasShrugs2000, The Jawa Report, Family Security Matters, The Gathering Storm and BrusselsJournal.

Infidel He-Men Of The Week: Robert Spencer & Jason Mattera

.

"He-men" have been celebrated throughout time for standing up and acting on principle, in the face of danger and consternation. Usually, their acts of bravery involve standing up to only a single foe, or a small group of bullies/miscreants/psychopaths.

But this week, Americans and freedom-loving people everywhere were shown what true courage is all about, when two men --- one, a seasoned truth-teller, the other, a younger spokesman for a national civic organization --- stood up to domestic Islamists (and their attorneys, and the mainstream media and academic and political "intelligentsia" that continually whitewash, defend and obfuscate for them) --- Robert Spencer of JihadWatch, and Jason Mattera of the Young America's Foundation.


Background:

Robert Spencer is the author of numerous books on the nature of the war that Islamists and jihadists have declared on Western civilization in general, and America and Israel in particular. Spencer's websites, JihadWatch and Dhimmi Watch, provide a daily dose of the brutal realities of the deadly foes facing us --- as well as those individuals and groups that appease and enable them, up to and including those at the highest levels of government in America and other Western nations.

Spencer was scheduled to speak at the YAF conference on August 2. The day before, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) --- long-documented of having ties to global Islamist terror, and now an unindicted co-conspirator in a jihadist terror financing scheme* --- had their attorney fire off a threatening letter to the YAF, demanding that it cancel Mr. Spencer's speech.

(*Background on CAIR here, here, here, here, here)

And just several days before that, CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper leveled false and defamatory charges against Spencer on CNN.

Trivia:
(Q) And who is the attorney that CAIR retained to try to suppress Mr. Spencer's right to free speech, and the YAF's right to host the event, without fear of legal intimidation? In the immortal words of Gomer Pyle, USMC, "Surprise, surprise, surprise!!!"

(A) It's none other than the attorney who represents the Democratic National Committee, Joseph E. Sandler.

(Yes, that's the same DNC that has been making such a diligent effort to subvert America's war against Islamist terror at every turn, to enable groups like CAIR to sue "John Does" who report suspicious behaviors to law enforcement officials, to chip away at our intelligence agencies' ability to intercept and monitor suspected jihadist communications, and to crush free speech in America by resurrecting the [Un]"Fairness Doctrine.")

Perhaps CAIR, Mr. Sandler and their DNC sympathizers were thinking that the YAF would just buckle under in dhimmitude, and comply with their demands --- like so many public and private institutions in America have now made it a practice of doing (see JQWorld's "Roundup Of Western Government-Enforced Dhimmitude").

One thing we know for sure: They weren't counting on a steely-spined free-speech advocate like Jason Mattera, spokesman for the YAF, who issued this brief, stunning response to CAIR's and attorney Sandler's "demand" for an answer by the end of the day:

(Mattera said) The decision was made to defy CAIR and its demand that Spencer's talk be cancelled. "We will not be intimidated by radical Islamic thugs," Mattera said. "Not only will we let Robert Spencer speak, but we will invite even more people to hear him. We are not going to fluctuate the conference just to suit their demands."

And in another statement, Mattera said:

"CAIR can go to hell, and they can take their 72 virgins with them.”

See the video of the second statement here.

Ouch! That's gotta hurt. But that's what a patriotic, free-speech-loving, concerned American sounds like, folks. Perhaps one day we'll have elected leaders and businesspeople who sound like that. Let's hope.

=================================

NOW, let's take a look at the speech that Robert Spencer gave at the YAF, that CAIR and attorney Sandler made such a fuss over, and tried to quash (click image to go to HotAir for playback):


Ouch, again. Yep, CAIR and its allies certainly had reason to worry. Because as more people (particularly the young) become aware of the reality of CAIR --- versus the public image that it presents, and that the mainstream media, academia and many politicians continually lap up, like kittens to warm milk --- the more they will start to stand up to CAIR and other Islamist front groups.

For their rigid spines in the face of intimidation and threats from CAIR and its allies, and for daring to defy all the "politically-correct" and "multiculturalist" pablum that our cultural leaders keep trying to stuff down our throats...

Robert Spencer and Jason Mattera are the

UPDATE, AUGUST 6: MIDDLE EAST FORUM's LEGAL PROJECT RESPONDS TO CAIR INTIMIDATION

The Legal Project is a new division of the Middle East Forum, Dr. Daniel Pipes' Islamist research organization. Excerpts from the LP's August 2 press release:

CAIR's letter appears to be aimed at maliciously harming Spencer's reputation, interfering in his lawful employment, and aimed to discourage both Spencer and YAF from exercising their fundamental rights to free speech and assembly. Furthermore, the letter wrongfully implies that YAF has an independent duty to censor Spencer, and that it may be subject to suit for allowing Spencer to speak on private property. It is our opinion that CAIR's pre-emptive accusations are without merit, without any legal basis, and that CAIR has yet to prove any of its statements as true.

Therefore, the Legal Project hereby gives CAIR and its attorneys notice that it, too, will pursue "every available and appropriate legal remedy to redress any false or defamatory statements that are made" or have been made by CAIR and its attorneys against Spencer. We advise CAIR's staff to govern themselves accordingly.

Slam!

It's tempting to say, "Finally, someone is legally standing up to CAIR intimidation!!!" But the fact is, there have been two major cases in which people in the USA have stood up to CAIR/Islamist intimidation, and won:

CAIR backs down from its lawsuit against Anti-CAIR

Islamic Society of Boston drops its lawsuit against 17 defendants

Heroes, one and all. (Even if the mainstream media was far too preoccupied with round-the-clock non-stories to find slivers of time to squeeze in coverage of these blockbusters, and as a result, only about 99.9% of Americans have no idea of what is going on.)

Infidel Hottie Of The Week: Pamela Geller

.

The human middle finger is a remarkable appendage, that can be used to do many wonderful things.

For example, China is now celebrating Ji Fengshan, 56, who hopes to get into the record books for his ability to pull four cars roped together - using only his middle finger.

Mr. Fengshan, however, has nothing on Pamela Geller, creator and webmistress of AtlasShrugs2000. For three years, Pamela has been working hard to root out news items and provide perspective on vital issues and events that the mainstream (in Pamela-speak: "lamestream") news media won't touch with a 10 ft. kaffiya.

But on Sunday, July 29, Pamela decided she would use her middle finger to give an up-close and personal voice to to the tens of millions of Americans who are repulsed by Mother Sheehan's disgusting, jihad-endorsing, America-subverting, hero-decrying, Jew-hating, dictator-swooning charade, via the classic one-fingered salute:

See Pamela's whole photo-diary of this day's finger-iffic festivities here.

And to show that she's a multi-cultural and equal-opportunity offender, be sure to check out Pamela's classic vlog on Hassan Nasrallah, butcher-in-chief of Hezbollah, here. She goes just a bit further than giving that jihadist monster merely her very-articulate finger...

Then, there's the weekly podcast radio show that Pamela hosts, "Atlas On The Air," Tuesdays at 9pm EST. Recent podcasts are available for streaming there. Since mid-2006, Pamela has conducted one-on-one interviews with a broad range of people who should be in the news, but aren't (hey, MSM, we understand... the Lindsey Lohan rehab issue, the Britney Spears panty issue, the 2008 presidential money-derby, the... yeah, you get the idea). Here are some of the more notable interviews Pamela has done, that are available for downloading (typically 15MB files):

Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA), 2008 presidential candidate

Reed Rubinstein, attorney who represented Anti-CAIR against CAIR-initiated lawsuit

Bat Ye'Or, author, "Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis"

Evan Coyne Maloney, director of film "Indoctrinate-U"

Lt. Col. Allen West, from Kandahar, Afghanistan

Mark Steyn, author of "America Alone"

Dore Gold, former Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations

Robert Spencer, author of "The Truth About Muhammed," and creator of websites JihadWatch and DhimmiWatch (named a JQWorld "Infidel He-Man Of The Week," here)

"Lionheart UK," a Briton who's been driven out of his home by Pakistani jihadists

Dr. Andrew Bostom, author of "The Legacy of Jihad"

John Bolton, on the Israeli-Hezbollah "ceasefire" (8/12/06)

For her valuable work at AtlasShrugs2000... for possessing (and utilizing!!!) testicular units that put supposed "real men" like Harry Reid, John Edwards, Howard Dean and Bill Clinton to shame... and for being willing to go skin-to-skin* with Mother Sheehan to give the voiceless masses of clear-thinking Americans a voice (*and having to burn her own clothes afterwards)...

...the lovely Pamela Geller is the

JonQuixoteWorld INFIDEL HOTTIE OF THE WEEK

On a personal note: How Pamela (and Arianna Huffington!?) helped to inspire the creation and development of JonQuixoteWorld.

About one year ago, I was almost totally unaware of the personal blogosphere. Then, I saw a link to something called "AtlasShrugs" at HotAir. As an admirer of Ayn Rand, I was curious and clicked... and the rest, as they say, is history.

Via AtlasShrugs2000, I was given my first glimpse into the reality of the encroachment and appeasement of Islamism (Muslim supremacism) in America. I had never heard of CAIR, of the linkages between domestic Islamists and murderous jihadists here and elsewhere, and had no idea of the irrefutable "convergence" that is occurring between the lunatic left (including the mainstream media) and radical Islamism, in America and beyond. At first, I was skeptical. Then, the more I researched it, the more I became concerned. But then, certain events (including regular exposure to the posts and interviews at AS2000) got me motivated.

And during this past year, Pamela's site has opened my eyes to individuals who would go on to become some of my modern-day heroes --- including Robert Spencer at JihadWatch, Daniel Pipes at the Middle East Forum, Andrew Bostom, Brigitte Gabriel and her American Congress for Truth, and countless other courageous individuals who are fighting to advance a clearer public understanding of vital national and international issues, particularly relating to Islamism and jihadism.

So, thanks, Pamela... as Ayn said, you never know when a receptive mind will be exposed to your writing. Although we disagree on some things, we agree on many more... and you have my eternal admiration for all you've accomplished.

For a time, I used the knowledge I gained from AS2000 and other sites to routinely kick the shit out of the Huffington Post lunatics (whoops --- in Pamela-speak, "leftards!"), by exposing and demolishing their lies and propaganda, often with links back to the posts and sources she provided. But then, I figured, what the hell, I'll go ahead and create my own blog, kinda like Pamela did, so I don't have to keep repeating myself!!!

So although my days of wasting time posting at HuffTardsVille are long over, JonQuixoteWorld was in part the result (Pamela and Arianna Huffington, sharing kudos for co-inspiring the gestation of a new blog? One that's now ranked in the top .0025% of the 95 million blogs out there!? Whoa!!!

Plus, thanks in part to the inspiration I got from AS2000 (and the sources I've been led to through it), JQWorld has given Arianna Huffington's little America-bashing, jihadist-appeasing, tyrant-worshipping, propaganda-spewing site no shortage of headaches over the last year. So, thanks again, Pamela! ;)

Here's hoping there are lots more Jon (and Jane) Quixotes out there whose eyes get opened, and minds get inspired, and spirits get motivated, through AS2000!!!

July 30 Update to Roundup Of Western Government-Enforced Dhimmitude

This is the July 24-30 update to the master directory, Roundup Of Western Government-Enforced Dhimmitude:

-------------------------------------------

SPECIAL FROM NRO/LGF: The Wahabbification of American education; while we're supposedly "at war" with jihadist terror, one of its chief sponsors, Saudi Arabia, has been quietly injecting Islamist-whitewashing, jihadist-appeasing doctrines into U.S. schoolbooks.

Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) removes online search tool that helps investors identify and steer clear of companies involved in sponsoring terror

THE DHIMMICRATIC "YOUTUBE DEBATE": Strangely missing from discussion, the war that militant followers of... no particular religion have declared on the USA and Western civilization. Instead, Dhimmicrats focus on the war they'd rather be fighting --- against Bush, free enterprise, faux "inequality," faux "racism," etc. See analysis at AmericanThinker, HERE, and liveblogging at InfidelsAreCool, HERE.

VICTORY!!! (Taxpayer-funded) San Diego elementary school ordered to shut down madrassas, stop Islamist indoctrination; ACLU, MSM: "Yawn... hey, what's the latest with the Lindsay Lohan car chase?"

UPDATE: (Taxpayer-funded) NYC madrasses still on track to open in fall 2007; group formed to demand answers; MSM (sans FNC): "Yawn... hey, when does the new season of 'American Idol' start???

"JOHN DOE" LAWSUIT PROTECTION UDPATE: After months of leftist Democrats (Dhimmicrats) trying to keep "John Doe" lawsuit protections out of Homeland Security bill (in shameful attempt to win "hearts and minds" of radical Islamists, and hand trial lawyers' lobby a windfall), Repubicans and bloggers fight to keep it in... and it stays in, kinda-sorta... for now.
In ironic timing, more suspected jihadists are perpetrating "dry runs" on U.S. airlines... and if Dhimmicrats ultimately get their way, anyone who reports them will face the legal wrath of lawsuits from... dry-run jihadists and their supporters.

(Taxpayer-funded) Pace University has student arrested under "hate crimes" for throwing Koran into toilet; CAIR has fit of ecstasy at PU's dhimmitude; militant student followers of... no particular religion who stomp on, burn American & Israeli flags, claim... no particular religion should murder its way to global conquest... not. Updates here, and here


Condi Rice and jihadists agree: Israel must end "occupation" of West Bank (JQWorld: Next --- Jews must be driven into the sea?) Well that was fast!!! After U.S. pushes for Israel to make "goodwill" gesture of releasing 250 Fatah jihadist murderers (on condition that they promise to not murder any more Israeli civilians...), and Israel capitulates... freed Fatah murderers say they won't stop murdering Israeli civilians!!! (Sound FX here: Gomer Pyle - "Surprise, surprise, surpriiiissseee!!!")

Mitt Romney: If elected president, I'll try to combat jihad by... imitating Hezbollah!! (well, their welfare-state, anyway)

France: Let The Jihadists Have Nukes!!!, Part II: Earlier this year, JQWorld documented how former French president Chirac expressed his support for Iran having nuclear weapons, here; now, the "conservative" Sarkozy is expressing support for terror-supporting Islamist states including Libya to be able to acquire "peaceful" nuclear technology, here

U.S. District Court: Islamist franchisee of Dunkin' Donuts can sue company for requiring him to serve all pork products on menu (JQWorld: By implication, now McDonalds franchisees are cleared to launch massive class-action lawsuit to upend McD's menus in stores owned by militant followers of... no particular religion; hello halal food, goodbye Sausage McMuffin!)

(Taxpayer-funded) George Mason University tells non-Muslim students to observe Islamist rules in... non-denominational "meditation area" that radical followers of... no particular religion have de facto taken over

New Haven, CT mayor welcomes illegal aliens, tells them they are "more courageous" and "more American" than... Americans, gives them welfare-service ID cards; anybody bother to check to see if they're militant Islamists or jihadists? (MSM: "Yawn... hey, who's gonna take over for Bob Barker on 'The Price Is Right'?")

Bush Admin., Part 1: Saudis playing "counterproductive role" in Iraq, arming insurgent groups (as if funding jihadist terror around the world for decades, and now attempting to indoctrinate American schoolchildren isn't bad enough...)

Bush Admin., Part 2: Let's sell the Saudis $20 BILLION in new weaponry!!!

Total Dhimmitude In The Great White North

.

Fans of JQWorld know that I've assembled an extensive, categorized series of links that document government-enforced dhimmitude in the Western world, here.

But some acts of governmental dhimmitude are so egregious, so outrageous, and so close to home, that they deserve special, isolated attention.

Such a case was contained in today's Washington Times, below. After reading it, compare it to the following story, and ask yourself: How hard must the radical Islamists, and the jihadists they support, be laughing their asses off at how easily they are totally conquering Canada, without having fired a single shot?

Activist's Remarks About Islam, Sex Probed
The Washington Times, July 25, 2007

Excerpts:

SAULT STE. MARIE, Ontario — Organizers of a conservative online forum in Canada say their free-speech rights are under attack after they received a letter saying a complaint has been filed with the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

The complaint, filed by a private citizen and accepted for further investigation by the commission, protested a critical posting on the forum's Web site regarding Islam and homosexuality.

The remarks were posted on FreeDominion.ca, a sister site to the conservative U.S. forum FreeRepublic, by FreeDominion member Bill Whatcott, a former homosexual prostitute turned outspoken Christian activist.

“I can't figure out why the homosexuals I ran into are on the side of the Muslims,” Mr. Whatcott wrote on the Web site. “After all, Muslims who practice Sharia law tend to advocate beheading homosexuals.”

He also attributed the worldwide Muslim fury at the Danish Muhammad cartoons to “violence and discrimination inherent in Islamic theology.”

The complaint, which has not been made public, reportedly said the posting “has a discriminatory content against Muslims, and Free Dominion contributes to disseminating hate literature by allowing it to be on its Web site.”(.....)

If the case does reach adjudication, she said, the tribunal would be empowered under the Canadian Human Rights Act to order the Web site to “cease and desist” the publication of hate speech or to impose a monetary fine.

Canadian hate speech laws are more stringent than in the United States and outlaw some remarks that would be protected in the United States by the First Amendment. Miss Gregoire said she was unsure whether a tribunal could order the shutdown of a Web site.(.....)

“Whatever your political persuasion, you can't possibly condone this attack on free expression by an unaccountable, unelected bureaucracy,” wrote Kathy Shaidle of Toronto, who denounced the complaint as a “secular fatwa” on her widely read Relapsed Catholic blog.

Islamist (er, I mean, Canadian) fascism, anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? Keep in mind this is a private website on which a (supposedly) free people express opinions.

Now, are you ready for the second part of the double-feature on Canadian dhimmitude?

OK, read on...

VisionTV Defends Airing 'Jihad' Lecture
National Post (Canada), July 19, 2007 (h/t LGF)

Excerpts:

(JQWorld: Taxpayer-funded) VisionTV says it will monitor one of its shows more closely after it broadcast a lecture by an Islamic preacher who said scripture requires Muslims to either fight jihad or finance it.

The multi-faith channel, available in 7.8 million Canadian homes, said it took the precaution following a complaint about last Saturday's broadcast of a lecture by the Pakistani fundamentalist.

In the hour-long talk, Israr Ahmad said, "Jihad in the way of Allah, for the cause of Allah, can be pursued either with your financial resources or your bodily strength when you go to fight the enemy in the battlefield.

"So jihad, the highest form, is fighting in the cause of Allah."

Mr. Ahmad runs a seminary and bookstore in Lahore, Pakistan, and his writings foresee the "global domination of Islam," compare Jews to "parasites," describe the Holocaust as "divine punishment" and predict the "total extermination" of Jews.

His followers in Canada include terror suspect Qayyum Abdul Jamal, who was arrested last summer for his alleged role in a plot to detonate truck bombs in downtown Toronto.(.....)

The television program left some wondering how the Pakistani preacher, who claims that Jews control the world through a secret conspiracy involving financial institutions, made it on to Canada's government-regulated airwaves.

"Israr Ahmad is widely known for his hateful words and vilification of Jews," said Canadian Jewish Congress spokesman Bernie Farber. "We are deeply concerned that Vision would give this individual the imprimatur of Vision's credibility. It was a mistake in judgment and ought to concern all of us."

Ah, yes. And I'm sure the Canadian government is going to get right on the case, to make sure that this "preacher" never again is permitted on the TV network that it forces its citizens to pay for.

Except... whoops!!!

VisionTV Gives Islamic Radical More Air Time
National Post (Canada), July 19, 2007 (h/t LGF)

Excerpts:

A day after saying it regretted broadcasting a lecture by a Pakistani preacher who says Muslim scripture advocates violent holy war and the "extermination" of Jews, VisionTV put him back on the air again this weekend.

A leading Jewish organization said yesterday it would launch a formal complaint with Canadian broadcast regulators after Vision aired another hour-long talk by fundamentalist Israr Ahmad on Saturday.

The preacher's reappearance on Canadian television came as a surprise to some, since VisionTV had issued a statement on Friday expressing regret for broadcasting Mr. Ahmad's lecture on violent jihad on July 14.

But despite the statement, Vision aired another lecture Saturday afternoon by Mr. Ahmad, who compares Jews to "parasites," describes the Holocaust as "divine punishment" and calls Jews "condemned."

"It is most troubling that VisionTV made a calculated decision to re-broadcast a segment featuring a radical Imam, whose words have the potential to incite hatred and violence," Frank Dimant of B'nai Brith Canada said yesterday.

"It is a complete abdication of their responsibility to knowingly give a platform to this individual whose calls for jihad can clearly be interpreted by his supporters as a call to engage in terrorism. B'nai Brith Canada will be launching a formal complaint with the CRTC calling for a full investigation of this matter." (.....)

Last week, a Vision executive, Mark Prasuhn, described "Dr. Ahmad" as a religious scholar --he is a medical doctor --and in a recent interview the preacher acknowledged that he was not welcome in Canada. "I had no official information about a ban [from entering Canada] but I understood that I was not in the good books of the U.S. and the West, especially after 9 /11, due to my concept of radical Islam; which demands a Muslim to struggle against the prevailing corrupt and exploitative system in the world," he said.

Mr. Ahmad heads a self-described "revolutionary" organization called Tanzeem-e Islami, which wants to turn Pakistan into a fundamentalist Islamic state and a launch pad for the global domination of Islam.

Read it all.

Keep this all in mind the next time you hear a highbrow intellectual, activist or politician tell us that we could learn from our neighbors to the north.

Or worse, when we are lectured that we could learn so much from the Eurotrash Union which is going much, much further --- by attempting to ban the word "jihad" altogether, as well as the phrase "Islamic terrorist," here. More on that later.

Oh, and think it can't happen here?

Newsflash: It already IS happening here:

The (taxpayer-funded) government-run cable TV network in Burlington, VT is now featuring al-Jazeera, mouthpiece of radical Islamist & jihadist propaganda (it's al Qaeda's favorite network!); VT govt. network official: "I think it’s more mainstream and more objective than CNN.” Read it all here (h/t LGF).

Have a nice day.

Matt Lauer -- Meet the U.S. Constitution

.

On whole, I find Matt Lauer to be among the least-offensive morning TV hosts.

But today, he demonstrated once again that even with mega-million dollar annual salaries, research staffs and lots of other assets, most TV "journalists" (a) are among the most Constitutionally-illiterate people in America, and (b) continue to believe whatever Sen. Barack Obama says, without question, no matter how obviously full of excrement his statements are.

Case in point: On this morning's Today Show, Lauer was asking Obama some questions after the Democrats' all-night political theater to try and force an unconstitutional vote to begin withdrawing U.S. forces from Iraq, thereby signaling our surrender to al Quada in this main front.

Obama's reaction was basically that our troops have done a great job in Iraq with the orders they've been given --- but that the orders they've been given were ineffective. Then, Obama went on to say that in our civilian-led military, it is in part the Congress's job to issue new orders in such a scenario.

I covered this in detail a few days ago: Congress has NO Constitutional authority to issue ANY orders whatsoever to the U.S. military --- not to withdraw, not to redeploy, not to "change strategy" as Obama said, nothing. Congress is, however, empowered under our Constitution to do four things regarding military affairs: (1) declares war, (2) pass spending legislation, (3) withdraw such funding, and (4) approve treaties to end military conflicts. That's it.

Obama knows this. Lauer, with all his education, millions in salary and research staff --- along with all the knowledge-assets of NBC News --- should know this, but apparently he doesn't.

Or, is it that Lauer does know it, but he --- like about 95% of other leftist journalists --- is so starstruck with political lust for Obama that he chose not to correct this attorney's statements concerning a basic aspect of the U.S. Constitution? (for more, see the classic JonQuixoteWorld expose Jack Bauer Interrogates the MSM re ObamaMania!!!)

Either way, a huge disservice was done to the American people today, by perpetuating a basic misconception of the U.S. Constitution, by the network that claims it is "watched by more people than any other news organization in the world."

Uh-huh.

Have a nice day.

The Democrats' Assault On The U.S. Constitution

.

Well we can't say that we didn't see this one coming.

Given the colossal, indoctrinated ignorance of the American people and MSM journalists regarding the U.S. Constitution (thank you, leftist-controlled public school system), not to mention the fundamental misconceptions they harbor concerning it (thanks again), the House Democrats' assault on this document tonight will likely go by without so much of a whimper of critical analysis, from a constitutional viewpoint.

The U.S. Constitution vests only one authority with the power to direct America's armed forces: the President of the United States, acting in his capacity as the Commander in Chief. Whether acting against an imminent danger, or via the authorization of Congress, which solely has the power to declare war, the President's orders are formulated in consultation with a body of advisors who he (or she!) chooses. But the President's instructions --- and only the President's instructions --- are directed to the Secretary of Defense, and on downward through the chain of command.

According to Article II, Section 2 of the Constitution:

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States

On Tuesday night, however, the U.S. Congress will attempt to fundamentally --- and unlawfully ---- subvert this basic Constitutional provision.

According to The "Responsible Redeployment from Iraq Act" (HR 2956) ---

SEC. 3. REQUIREMENT TO REDUCE THE NUMBER OF ARMED FORCES IN IRAQ AND TRANSITION TO A LIMITED PRESENCE OF THE ARMED FORCES IN IRAQ.(a) REQUIREMENT.—The Secretary of Defense shall commence the reduction of the number of Armed Forces in Iraq beginning not later than 120 days after the date of the enactment of this Act and shall complete the reduction and transition to a limited presence of the Armed Forces in Iraq by not later than April 1, 2008. [blah, blah, blah...]

Newsflash, Rep. Pelosi, Sen. Reid, and the MSM: neither the House of Representatives nor the Senate has the authority to issue orders to the U.S. military.

The only thing the U.S. Congress can legitimately do is to cut off funding for military operations. That's it.

Bottom line: This bill is invalid, even if all 100 Senators, and all 435 Representatives voted to approve it.

Now, the question is this: Will the mainstream media acknowledge this little fact --- or continue to act as swooning, unquestioning lapdogs to the Democratic Party?

France's Latest Anti-Individualist Mini-Manifesto

.

American intellectuals, politicians and "artists" keep claiming that there's so much we can learn from the French, and lecturing us on how we should listen to and emulate their stances on international diplomacy, cultural affairs, etc.

No, we shouldn't.

France is committing a slow, agonizing suicide, as has been documented at JQWorld and elsewhere. And the centerpiece of their suicide-march is their war against individualism, and on a larger scale, individual rights.

Well, those lofty French intellectuals who set the framework for their culture have come out, en masse, against the distinctly American trait of individualism and self-determination yet again, alleging (brace yourself) that their new president's jogging habit is... a right-wing propaganda campaign.

From this July 4 TimesOnline article (UK; hat tip DrudgeReport):

President Sarkozy has fallen foul of intellectuals and critics who see his passion for jogging as un-French, right-wing and even a ploy to brainwash his citizens.

Attacks on Mr Sarkozy’s pastime, which he has made a symbol of his presidency, began on the internet as soon as he bounded up the steps of the Elysée Palace in shorts when he took office in May. That moment has become the icon of his hyperenergetic administration. The grumbling has now moved to television and the press.

“Is jogging right wing?” wondered Libération, the left-wing newspaper. Alain Finkelkraut, a celebrated philosopher, begged Mr Sarkozy on France 2, the main state television channel, to abandon his “undignified” pursuit. He should take up walking, like Socrates, Arthur Rimbaud, the poet, and other great men, said Mr Finkelkraut.

“Western civilisation, in its best sense, was born with the promenade. Walking is a sensitive, spiritual act. Jogging is management of the body. The jogger says I am in control. It has nothing to do with meditation.”

I see. Wow.

Well, as long as we're delving into the meaning (and threat) of individualism and self-determination, let's consider what was said by another collectivist thinker who certainly had the opportunity to implement his visions on what was billed as "an advanced culture."

(1) "It is thus necessary that the individual should finally come to realize that his own ego is of no importance in comparison with the existence of his nation; that the position of the individual ego is conditioned solely by the interests of the nation as a whole...that above all, the unity of a nation's spirit and will are worth far more than the freedom of the spirit and will of an individual... we understand only the individual's capacity to make sacrifices for the community, for his fellow man."

(2) "Each activity and each need of the individual will thereby be regulated by the party as the representative of the general good. There will be no license, no free space, in which the individual belongs to himself. This is socialism -- not such trifles as the private possession of the means of production. Of what importance is that if I range men firmly within a discipline they cannot escape? Let them then own land or factories as much as they please. The decisive factor is that the state, through the party, is supreme over them, regardless whether they are owners or workers. All that, you see, is unessential. Our socialism goes far deeper. Why need we trouble to socialize banks and factories? We socialize human beings."

Wow, who was that brilliant anti-individualist thinker?



Who brought such an "enlightened" and "community-minded" perspective to cultural affairs?



Scroll down.












None other than Adolf Hitler.

Sounds an awful lot like the statements made by our "enlightened" and "community-minded" and "progressive" thinkers, and the policy proposals (education, health care, etc.) they are advancing, doesn't it?

Have a nice day.

The Enemy Among Us - Indeed

.

In September 2006, JonQuixoteWorld revealed that the DNC was planning to advance a Mahmoud Ahmadinejad --- Hugo Chavez ticket for the 2008 presidential derby (here), and that Mr. Ahmadinejad planned to nominate Michael Moore to hold the title of Minister of Propaganda in his administration (here).

Here's what Uncle Mahmoud had to say, way back then ---

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Post: Minister of Propaganda

NOMINEE: MICHAEL "DER FAT FURHER" MOORE

Uncle Mahmoud says: "Until the 2004 American presidential campaign, I and the mullahs had been largely unaware of Mr. Moore's 'work.' I mean, what could we possibly learn from 'artists' such as this obnoxious, bloated, America-hating boor?

"But all that changed with the release of 'Fahrenheit 9/11,' which has been a hit in jihadist circles around the globe, and has even been featured in their training and propaganda videos.

"What really put Moore on our radar screen for this post, however, was the near-godly status showered upon him by intellectuals, politicians, schoolteachers, the movie industry, college professors, young people and the world media, despite the most obvious lies, distortions and misrepresentations in this film, and others he has made.

The Bush campaign could not offset the damage that Moore was doing to it, and even American news organizations were unwilling to put their admiration for Moore aside long enough to see if what he was saying was true, contextual and verifiable.

"Miscreant though he may be, Michael Moore is exactly the kind of dhimmi we need to direct propaganda films and campaigns, particularly for us to help shape young people. Breaking that American spirit of rugged indvidualism, independence and private religion won't be easy --- but with Moore's assistance, we are confident we will eventually prevail."

UPDATE (September 28, 2006): Well it turns out this nomination has been partially verified; see article "Moore Please: Ahmadinejad Likes Leftist Moviemaker" and "Mahmoud and Me."

And as it turns out, JQWorld research was on the money --- again.

Today, the Iranian Student News Agency reported (h/t Drudge) that Ahmadinejad has accepted Michael Moore's offer to travel to Iran to show his new America-bashing socialist screed, "Sicko." Excerpt:

TEHRAN, July 02 (ISNA)-Writer, producer and director, Michael Moore is to come to Iran for the screening of his new production SICKO in the first international documentary film festival held here.

This festival will be held from the 15th to the 19th of October in Tehran.

According to reports in SICKO, Michael Moore interviews Americans who have been denied treatment by the U.S. health care insurance companies, whose policies are designed to maximize profits at the expense of providing essential care. The consequences of these individuals' plights range from bankruptcy to the unnecessary deaths of loved ones.

Moore then looks at universal free health care systems in Canada, France, Britain, and Cuba, debunking all the fears (lower quality of care, poorer compensation for doctors, big-government bureaucracy) that have been used to dissuade Americans from establishing such a system here.

The roots of those health care systems are explored, and our failure to establish free health here care is traced to a) President Richard Nixon's deceptive support of the then-emerging HMOs pursuing huge profits and b) subsequent pressures for Congress to sacrifice sound health care in favor of corporate profit.

Will this in any way cause America's intellectuals and the mainstream media to take a second look at exactly who (and what) Michael Moore is shilling for? Of course not. Why? Because he "means well."

In other upcoming JQWorld news, Charlie Manson and Ward Churchill are forming a new American political party: "Unmedicated Psychopaths For Truth." And America's intellectuals and the MSM are going to fall all over themselves to explain why they have the best hope of creating a more just, fair and equitable society --- via a fusion of fascism and socialism, of course.

Stay tuned to JonQuixoteWorld for the latest developments.

Have a nice day.
