Pakistani Cleric: Nuke British Infidels if They Don't Convert....

It's amazing Muslims got out of the 7th Century, oh wait, nevermind.....

Via: InfidelsAreCool

A FANATICAL Pakistani cleric told The Sun yesterday of his chilling dream to turn the world Muslim – by force if necessary.

Qari Hifzur Rehamn, 60, spoke openly of imposing Islamic law’s stoning and beheading on Britain – as Pakistan was rocked by unrest over the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

He warned: “We want Islamic law for all Pakistan and then the world.

“We would like to do this by preaching. But if not then we would use force.”

Rehamn, 60, spoke in the Pakistani town of Kahuta as the call to prayer echoed over the dusty streets.

He is Imam of the town’s fundamentalist religious school or madrassa, where classes for kids as young as nine include Jihad or Holy War and barbaric punishments.

His teachings are frightening enough. But his mosque lies in the shadow of the secret bunker where Pakistan produces nuclear weapons.

And when asked if it would be right to nuke British infidels, he laughed and answered: “Probably.”

So what does he think of Britain? “The nonbelievers must be converted to Islam. Morals in your society, with women wearing revealing clothes, have gone wrong.”

Gaza: More Trouble in Islamic Paradise....

I love when these savages kill each other, brings a smile to my face....

GAZA CITY (AFP) — At least four Palestinians were killed and around 30 wounded in armed clashes on Monday between Fatah loyalists and Hamas police in the south of the Islamist-ruled Gaza Strip, medical sources said.

A 12-year-old boy, two other civilians and a member of the Hamas police were killed in exchanges of gunfire during a rally east of the southern Gaza town of Khan Yunis, the sources said.

Hamas police spokesman Islam Shahwan told AFP that the rally marking 43 years since the founding of the secular Fatah movement had turned into a "gunbattle".

"Police tried to disperse a small Fatah demonstration in Khan Yunis that turned into a gunbattle when gunmen opened fire on the police force," he said. "Three people were killed and several were injured, including several police members," the police spokesman added.

Quote of the Day....

John Smeaton, hero from the Glasgow Airport terror attacks, commenting on Troofer inbreds....

He has spent months pointing out that he was not the only hero on the day; that he actually didn't do very much. That was the gist of his acceptance speech for a CNN Heroes award on December 6 in America, and everyone lapped it up. He expressed similar sentiments at the 9/11 memorial service in New York in September, which he describes as "the most poignant and humbling moment of my life". His past belief in the conspiracy theories surrounding the Twin Towers attacks were swept away.

"The most disrespectful thing I've ever seen was these people walking about with T-shirts blaming the American government for the attack," he says. "Take that and shove it as far up your arse as you can get it."

Expert: Arab Prisons Key Front in War on Terror.....

Ayman al-Zawahiri and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi both made their way through Arab prison systems.  There is no way to reform a jihadi, you can kill one, which is the only solution....

RABAT, Morocco, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Preferential treatment for detained militants in Moroccan prisons highlights the influence the various jihadi movements have over authorities.

Prisoners gain leverage over authorities through hunger strikes and protests and officials worry the increased freedom could make prisons breeding grounds for radicalization and recruiting for their cause.

"More than any time in the modern history of terrorism, the prisons have become a key front in the war on terror," said Dennis Pluchinsky, a former intelligence analyst at the U.S. State Department.

Arab governments are also feeling the pressure to hand out lenient prison sentences and mass pardons in an effort to subdue Islamic fundamentalist movement, the Times said.

British diplomats and other representatives at a Moroccan conference on the radicalization of Islamic prisoners expressed concerns over dealing with the unique circumstances in an "overcrowded and underfinanced" prison system.

Some said they see the increased access as a chance to inject moderate Islam (no such thing -ed.)to the increased militant population.

Iraqi Sunni Leaders Mock Bin Laden as Weak...

Now go back to fucking goats.....

IRAQI Sunni tribal and political leaders singled out as "traitors" by Osama bin Laden have hit back, accusing the Al-Qaeda chief of being un-Islamic and mocking him as being weak.

"Bin Laden's statement doesn't affect us - he is making these threats from a position of weakness," said Sheikh Khalid Shahudh, a senior member of the Awakening Council in western Anbar province which came in for particular censure from the Western world's most wanted man.

Sheikh Shahudh said bin Laden's threats carried no weight.

"Al-Qaeda has no more power in Anbar province," he said.

"The Awakening is now operating all across Iraq and involving all sects. We will continue chasing Al-Qaeda. We have no enemies except Al-Qaeda. The Americans are not our enemy anymore. Our forces will deal exclusively with Al-Qaeda. We will hunt them until we get rid of the last element."

Londonistan: Hizb ut-Tahrir Calls for Establishment of Global Islamic State...

With London as its capital?.....

At its conference in north London on Saturday, the leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Britain, Jalaluddin Patel, said that the call for the establishment of a global Islamic state "holds currency on the streets of Cairo, on the streets of Karachi... and on the streets of Tripoli. And indeed in almost every city in the Muslim world."

"Brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, plans are being made east and west... for this Muslim world," Patel declared.

"We from Hizb ut-Tahrir believe passionately that true liberation will come to the Muslim world when we dispense with these ruling elites and these western-inspired systems, and in their place we establish Islam through state and society," he said, adding that "Islam solves each and every problem that the Muslim world faces today."

Taji Mustafa, a high-profile Hizb ut-Tahrir member in Britain, who makes frequent media appearances, lamented the state of the Muslim world, and slammed Muslim governments for failing to "liberate Palestine."

"Why, after all these years, is Palestine still occupied? Is it because the Muslim masses do not want to liberate the land...? No. Is it because the neighboring states do not have the resources to occupy Palestine? No. It is because the rulers of the Muslim world refuse to mobilize the ummah (Islamic nation) to liberate this land. Instead, (they are) like the Saudi kingdom. Only a few days ago, Saudi Arabia decided to sit down with Israel to negotiate - the surrender process - to hand over Palestine," Mustafa said.

"Palestine remains occupied because there is no sincere Islamic leadership that would mobilize the ummah that would liberate the land," he added.

Hillary: "If the Place was too Dangerous, Poor or Small, They Sent the First Lady"...

Pant Suits is now some kind of super-hero.  How she can say this with a straight-face is beyond me...

VINTON, Iowa - Ever since Barack Obama suggested Hillary Clinton's eight years as first lady were a glorified tea party a few days back, she's looked for an opening to strike back.

On Saturday night in Dubuque she pounced, arguing she risked her life on White House missions in the 1990s, including a hair-raising flight into Bosnia that ended in a "corkscrew" landing and a sprint off the tarmac to dodge snipers.

"I don't remember anyone offering me tea," she quipped.

The dictum around the Oval Office in the '90s, she added, was: "If a place was too dangerous, too poor or too small, send the first lady."

It turns out that Clinton wasn't quite flying solo into harm's way that day.

She was, in fact, leading a goodwill entourage that included baggy-pants funnyman Sinbad, singer Sheryl Crow and Clinton's daughter, Chelsea, then 15, according to an account of the March 1995 trip in her autobiography "Living History."

U.S. Special Forces On Standby To Safeguard Pakistan Nuclear Arsenal...

Leaving one behind on a timer might be a good idea...

US special forces snatch squads are on standby to seize or disable Pakistan’s nuclear arsenal in the event of a collapse of government authority or the outbreak of civil war following the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

The troops, augmented by volunteer scientists from America’s Nuclear Emergency Search Team organization, are under orders to take control of an estimated 60 warheads dispersed around six to 10 high-security Pakistani military bases.

Military sources say contingency plans have been reviewed over the past three days to prevent any of Pakistan’s atomic weapons falling into the hands of Islamic extremists if the administration of President Pervez Musharraf appears threatened by civil unrest.

Some of the special forces are already believed to be in neighbouring Afghanistan and on alert for the mission. It is also understood that satellite surveillance of Pakistan has been stepped up to keep track of the possible movement of nuclear weapons and missile delivery systems.

Internal security at Pakistan’s nuclear storage sites is the responsibility of a 10,000-man security force commanded by a two-star general. Every member of the force is vetted with the aim of weeding out sympathisers of the Taliban and al Qaeda or anyone with extreme Islamic views.

UN Attacks Religious Freedom, Protects Islam....

Good read via Doug Bandow....

In the name of protecting religion, the United Nations has voted against religious liberty. Islam, however, is to be protected from criticism.

Religious persecution is distressingly common around the globe. Most offending states are either Communist or Islamic.

And despite isolated assaults on Muslims, there has been no significant Western discrimination, let alone persecution, against Muslims for decades. The real purpose of the defamation resolution is to protect Islam from criticism.

The measure technically covers all faiths and is filled with the usual boilerplate about "mutual respect and understanding.''

However, the measure mentions only Islam by name: "Alarmed at the continuing negative impact of the events of September 11, 2001, on Muslim minorities and communities in some non-Muslim countries, the negative projection of Islam in the media and the introduction and enforcement of laws that specifically discriminate against and target Muslims.''

Finally, the resolution expresses "deep concern that Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism'' and over "the intensification of the campaign of defamation of religions and the ethnic and religious profiling of Muslim minorities.''

Undoubtedly some Muslims in some nations have been treated unfairly. However, the idea that Islam is under siege is nonsense.

Indeed, the offenses against Muslims pale compared to the abuse of Christians across the Islamic world. Unfortunately, Islam is intimately associated with "human rights violations and terrorism,'' even though there are other factors at play as well.

Israel Drops Civilian Casualties From 50% to 2% When Striking Terrorists From Air....

Will the Western media pick-up this story?  Of course not, but Palestinian Qassam rockets will still be fired at Israeli civilians in Sderot with little, to no MSM condemnation....

The Shin Bet and the IAF (in some cases the IDF Southern Command is also involved) are responsible for the most lethal part of combating terror organizations in the Gaza Strip: the assassinations from the air, for which Israel coined the euphemism "pinpointed thwarting." This past month alone, at least 40 armed terrorists were killed in IDF air attacks.

Lately, the thwartings have indeed become more worthy of the title "pinpointed." In all the attacks of recent weeks, only gunmen were hurt, as confirmed by Palestinians. The rate of civilians hurt in these attacks in 2007 was 2-3 percent. The IDF has come a long way since the dark days of 2002-2003, when half the casualties in air assaults on the Gaza Strip were innocent bystanders. The attacks fall into three main categories: targeting specific known terrorists; targeting Qassam rocket-launching cells en-route or in action; and punitive bombardments of Hamas outposts, in response to rocket or mortar fire into Israel. Since Israel began air assaults on the Gaza Strip, in late 2000, the first two types of attacks killed more than 100 Palestinian civilians.

Turns out it is possible. Reducing the number of civilian casualties in the attacks on Gaza was one of the first tasks Halutz's heir as IAF chief, Eliezer Shkedi, marked out for himself. The data improved commensurately. From a 1:1 ratio between killed terrorists and civilians in 2003 to a 1:28 ratio in late 2005. Several IAF mishaps in 2006 lowered the ratio to 1:10, but the current ratio is at its lowest ever  more than 1:30.

Canada: Hippy Relic Couple Doing a Second Tour of Duty Sheltering US Military Deserters....

Is there anything worse than aging hippies who cant let go?....

A St. Catharines couple who harboured a U.S. army deserter are still hopeful he can stay in Canada despite the Supreme Court's refusal last month to hear his and another deserter's appeal against deportation.

Hughey, from Fort Hood, Texas, and Jeffrey Hinzman from Fort Bragg, N.C., sought refugee status in Canada after leaving the United States because they objected to serving in the Iraq war. Hughey came after being ordered to fight in Iraq and Hinzman after being told he'd have to do a second tour of duty in Iraq.

Hughey told his superior officers he didn't agree with the justification for the war. They told him he had no choice, so he headed to Ontario.

He showed up at Cipryk and Alexander's door when arrangements were made through the Quakers to take him in. During the Vietnam War, the peace-loving Quaker couple sheltered about 45 deserters and draft dodgers for six months in Toronto in 1969.

"I so respect the war resisters," said Cipryk, "because it's extremely difficult to swim upstream, to go against the grain. Obviously, there are too many people in the U.S. and Canada who aren't going against the grain, who are letting all of this harm and injury happen ... and the war resisters are in the flow of those people who say 'No, this is wrong. This can't go on.'"

Iraq: Al-Qaeda Suicide Bomber Kills Four Children...
