China Celebrating New Year 2008

As we move from 2007 into 2008 we have much to look forward to in the year ahead---the Beijing Summer Olympics officially known as the XXIX Olympiad will be celebrated from August 8-24, 2008 with the opening ceremony held at the Beijing National Stadium.

The Friendlies were unveiled as the official mascots for the 2008 Summer Games by the National Society of Chinese Classic Literature Studies, like the 5 Olympic Rings the Friendlies will carry the message of friendship, peace and blessings from China to children all over the world.

The 5 mascots incorporate Fish, Giant Panda, Fire, Tibetan Antelope and Swallow---when the 5 names are put together they form a phrase "Beijing Huanying Ni" which means "Beijing Welcomes You"

Unequal Rights for Women In Iran

Morality Police arrest Women in Iran for their bad hijab behavior---wearing boots is a crime in Islamic Iran. In September during Ahmadinejad visit to the United States, the President of Iran claimed, "...Women in Iran are freest in the World..."

These Women in Iran do not seem to agree with Ahmadinejad.

I have added a new Link "Inside Iran" to this Blog from "Jadi" a 27 year old Blogger for Human Rights in Iran.

Clinton Campaigning With CAIR Bedfellow

Senator Clinton has now received the endorsement of Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, is seen here campaigning with the Ohio Chief Executive today in Iowa.

Ohio Governor Ted Strickland said, "...that Ohio may be one of the most important General Election States..."

Ted Strickland who has schmoozed CAIR by helping to raise money for the Islamic apologist---it is now rumored that the Ohio Chief Executive may name CAIR Vice Chairman, Ahmad Al-Akras as the new head of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, according to a story I read at "Little Green Footballs" 12-16-2007

Al-Akras had openly defended convicted members of an Al-Qaeda cell in Columbus and has hosted Iranian Islamic Wizard Ayatollah Khatami at a CAIR fund raising event. More shocking was Al-Akras defense of two of the 9/11 hijackers implicated in a dry run in Columbus.

My Grandmother used to say, "You are who your friends are." Can America really depend or trust Senator Clinton to prosecute a war against Islamic Terrorism, being so cozy with Jihadi apologists?

Candidates Foreign Policy Inexperience

The death of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto provided Presidential candidates with an opportunity to demonstrate either their ignorance or just their actual lack of foreign policy experience:

Hillary Clinton who often chides others because of their lack of experience called for an "...international independent investigation..."

Ron Paul the wacky Republican blames "...the interventionist foreign policy of the United States...that Al-Qaeda is justified at being annoyed at us..."

Mike Huckabee continues to demonstrate that he is clueless and says, "...what impact does it have on whether or not there is going to be martial law continuing in Pakistan..." Someone should have told Mr. Huckabee that martial law ended weeks ago.

Barack Obama claimed, "...Washington should cut military aid to Pakistan until Musharraf embraced democracy...that Senator Clinton's support for the Iraq war led to the tragic events...that the U.S. led invasion of Iraq was a distraction from the War on Terror..."

Mitt Romney sees foreign expertise as being unnecessary for the Leader of the Free World and said, "...if the answer for leading this country is someone that has a lot of foreign policy experience, we can just go down to the State Department and pick up any one of the tens of thousands of people who have spent all their life in foreign policy...that is not what this nation needs in a President of the United States, we look to have leadership skills..."

As the candidates continue to stumble around just before the Iowa Caucus and New Hampshire Primary, it is clear who is lacking foreign policy experience.

Hundreds Mourn Teen Waiting For Transplant

Hundred of people paid their last respects for Nataline Sarkisyan a 17 year old Northridge, CA Teen who died after Cigna Healthcare delayed in approving a Liver Transplant for her. Cigna Insurance Co. initially denied the life saving procedure claiming it was not effective and appropriate.

Mark Geragos, an Attorney that has been retained by the family, intends to initiate legal action against Cigna Insurance Co. which purposefully waited until Ms. Sarkisyan was near death before approving the surgery. Mr. Geragos, said that within 48 hours of Ms. Sarkisyan's death, that he received e-mail after e-mail from Cigna employees who said that it was corporate policy---to Deny, Deny, Deny.

Nataline was diagnosed with leukemia at age 14 and after 2 years of treatment the cancer went into remission but returned this past summer. Her physicians discovered that her brother was a match for a bone marrow transplant and he donated the bone marrow 1 day before Thanksgiving. Nataline developed complications from the bone marrow transplant because her liver was failing and doctors recommended a transplant.

Cigna Insurance Company refused to pay for the necessary surgery but reversed its decision following media attention and negative publicity but by that time Ms. Sarkisyan was near death and too ill and passed away hours later.

One year ago, I offered to donate a Kidney to a former Studio Owner dying from renal failure, before the life saving procedure could be performed the Central California resident passed away due to bureaucracy.

Egyptian Center Of Anti-Semitic Literature

Despite nearly 3 decades since the Camp David Peace Accords were signed, more than 90% of Egyptians still see Israel as an enemy, the United States is seen by half of Egyptians as an enemy. Ynet News.com Nov. 2006

Mohamed Khalil, who teaches Mass Communications at Cairo University says, "...Mossad was behind the 9/11 attacks" and like the Fascist Ahmadinejad is a Holocaust Denier claiming, "...the Israeli Government uses the Holocaust to put pressure on European Governments to neglect Palestine, to try to kill the dream of a Palestinian State...it was really only a half million Jews that were killed, no more."

Between December 21-31, 2006 at the 17th annual International Book Fair that was held in Doha, Qatar---350 Publishers from 17 Arab & Muslim countries had booths exhibiting over 65,000 titles in Arabic. The books published in Egypt, include anti-Semitic texts reflecting hostility towards Israel, USA and the Jewish people.

Books included were Denials of the Holocaust, claiming that the Nazi's did not kill over 6 million Jews but that Israel invited that lie to extort money from European countries, likewise the texts claim there were no Crematoria. Other books claim that the Jews brain washed Western countries into believing that Hitler was responsible for World War II to create sympathy for their own objectives.

Other books echo anti-Semitic rhetoric that Jews aspire to create global crises in order to take over international finance and harness the media.

The Holocaust is so well documented that those who choose to believe it is part of some wide conspiracy are simply suffering from psychotic mental illness and self denial of historical facts.

Grand Islamic Wizard Of Iran Declares War On USA & Israel

Delivering a message at Tehran University with an AK-47 in his right hand, Grand Islamic Wizard Ayatollah Ali-Khamenei on October 23, 2006 declared war by Iran and Syria, Hezbollah and Hamas on the United States and Israel.

A Delegation from the Mennonite Central Conference traveled to Iran this week to meet with the Clerics---yesterday I wrote here, that before the Mennonite apologists departed, David Cortright, Ph.D. of the University of Notre Dame and part of the Delegation told the South Bend Tribune, "...Ahmadinejad in not in charge of Iran's nuclear policies...all of that is controlled by the Clerics, they run the country and they have not been confrontational."

On the second day of Ramadan, 2006 an agreement was executed to transform Hamas military arm Ezz e-din al Qassam which enabled it to create a second front against Israel in Gaza---an Iran trained 6,500 man Hamas rapid deployment force with an emphasis on missiles. In addition, a massive rearming of Hamas has been underway through tunnels from Egyptian Sinai to Gaza.

Speaking on Al-Qods Day, 2006, Iranian Fascist President Ahmadinejad said, "...we have advised the Europeans that the Americans are far away but you are the neighbors of the nations in this region...we inform you that the nations are like an ocean that is welling up and if a storm begins, the dimensions will not stay limited to Palestine and you may get hurt...Israelis should go back to their countries of origin...it is of your interest to distance yourself from these Zionist criminals. This is an ultimatum. Don't complain tomorrow."

In August, 2006 Hezbollah proudly reported that it had successfully enrolled several thousand children of Shahid's into armed youth militias---these children range in age from 10 to 15 educated and trained to become Islamic Martyrs and affiliated with the "Madhi Boy Scouts" these future soldiers are uniformed in camouflage clothing, paint their faces and swear allegiance to the Madhi Scouts and Jihad. Taught by Hezbollah and Shiite theology their first lesson is entitled "Israel is a Temporary Country." Roz Al-Yusuf" Egypt/8-18-06

Secretary General of Hezbollah Shia Cleric Hassan Nasrallah has said, "a nation with suicide children is a victorious one. Israel can not conquer us or desecrate our lands because we have Shahid's who will remove the Zionist filth this will be done with the blood of the suicides."

In another interview with the Washington Post, Feb. 20, 2000---Cleric Hassan Nasrallah said, "...I am against any reconciliation with Israel, I do not even recognize the presence of a state called Israel, I consider its presence both unjust and unlawful..."

As the world waits and hopes for peace between the Palestinian Authority and Israel---Mahmoud Abbas has raised $7.4 Billion Dollars from 90 Donor countries which is supposed to go to build up their economy and institutions---the Intifada may now continue against Israel.

Ahmed Khatami, Member of the Iranian Assembly of Experts said last year, "...the victory was promised in the Quran, the party of Allah must triumph...I want to tell Bush and Prime Minister Olmert that they should learn a lesson...they should not bare their fangs, expose their stings or make threats against Islamic Iran....they should bear in mind that the missiles of the Lebanese-Hezbollah with a range of 70 kilometers have turned Israel into a ghost country. They should fear the day of our missiles, with a range of 2,000 kilometers, land in the heart of Tel-Aviv. Therefore we hope that Bush and Prime Minister Olmert have learned that lesson, they should know that playing with Islam is like playing with a lions tail."

Liberal Mennonite Central Conference peace hacks are visiting Iran to promote peace with Islamic Religious Clerics, that are prepared to sacrifice their children. Islamic Fascism---Jihad continues against the United States and Israel.

Romney Failed To Keep Murderer In Prison

Massachusetts prison officials say that convicted murderer Daniel Tavares who murdered his Mother, should have been held behind bars for additional time and that he should not have been given 780 days of good time credit for 6 different incidents between 1993 to 2005

Gov. Mitt Romney's Administration failed to meet a 60 day deadline, filing the paperwork and did not act on recommendations of Correction's Officials that Tavares good time credit be stripped.

Tavares now has been accused of murdering a Newlywed couple Brian and Beverly Mauk, in a dispute over $50.00 on November 17 at their home in Washington State, 123 days after he was released from prison in Massachusetts. Had the Governor's office done its job, the accused murderer would still had been incarcerated and the couple alive today.

Resolve To Win War Against Islamic Terrorism

Rudy Giuliani For President will begin airing a new advertisement today in which the GOP Presidential Candidate reminds us not to forget the Resolve & Heroism of American's during World War II asserting that we can prevail in the War Against Islamic Terrorism.

Called "Freedom" the 60 second commercial reminds Americans not to forget the Greatest Generation. When you challenge Americans, there is no country that stands up stronger and better than the United States. When you try to take something away from us like freedom, my goodness, Americans are going to be resisting you.

So the Islamic Terrorists would make a terrible mistake if they confuse our democracy for weakness. Our democracy means we may disagree with each other but when you come and try to take away from us our freedom, when you try and come here and kill our people, we are one and we are going to stand up to you and we are going to prevail.

Al-Qaeda Promises To Release New Bin-Laden Video And Claims Responsibility For Benazir Bhutto Murder

Al-Qaeda has promised to release a new video from Osama bin-Laden, it has not said when the new video produced by it's media arm Al-Sahab entitled "The Path to Foiling Plots in Iraq" would be posted---in the past, Al-Qaeda messages have been released within 3 days of an announcement.

Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the murder of former Pakistan Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Mustafa Abu Al-Yazid telephoned the Adnkronos International News Agency, claiming that "...Bhutto was murdered because she was close to the United States and vowed to finish off the Mujihadeen...Al-Qaeda decided to terminate Bhutto and that Ayman al-Zawahiri gave the go ahead. Death squads were sent consisting of Punjabi Men were sent on the mission and murdered the former Prime Minister Bhutto."

Mennonite Apologists Plan To Meet Iran Clerics

A delegation from the Mennonite Central Committee "MCC" left today for Iran with the purpose of meeting Islamic religious leaders. David Cortright, Ph.D. of the University of Notre Dame and member of the peace delegation said, "...exchanges like this can be a way to promote peace..." Cortright is President of the Goshen, Indiana based "Fourth Freedom Forum" an organization that strives to find alternatives to war.

Before departing on the trip to Iran, Cortright told the South Bend Tribune, "...Ahmadinejad is not in charge of Iran's nuclear policies...all of that is controlled by the Clerics, they run the country and they have not been confrontational."

In August 2006 Iranian Cleric Ahmad Jannati, called on Muslim nations to arm Hezbollah

Last week, Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani a major Muslim Cleric in Iran and spokesman for the Grand Islamic Wizard Ayatollah Sayyed Ali-Khamenei said, "...that Women who do not wear the hijab should die...these women, their husbands and father's must die..."

Ignorant, sappy and self serving MCC Apologists, are willing to sacrifice freedom in exchange for tyranny, never to offend Islamic Fascists. The weak kneed, anti- American, liberal hacks are a bonanza trough for propaganda and Jihad.

Bloomberg Running For President?

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg says that he is not a candidate for President but he is now running ads in both Iowa and New Hampshire---the ads cost $22,200 each and were paid for by Mayors Against Illegal Guns, Inc. a group founded and financed by the Billionaire Mayor.

Bloomberg is much more aligned with the Democrats and would draw Liberals and Moderates away from the other Democratic Presidential Campaigns according to Douglas Wilder, Mayor, Richmond, Virginia.

As an Independent Candidate, Democrats fear that he could siphon as much as 12% of the national vote away from their campaigns. When H. Ross Perot ran as a 3rd party candidate in 1992 he ended up with 19% of the vote.

Hamas Children's T.V. Program On Martyrdom

Al-Aqsa T.V. program "Tomorrows Pioneers" operated by Hamas in the Palestinian Territory featuring a program on Martyrdom.

In this clip captured and translated by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Nahoul is replying to Saraa request to "Convey your holiday greetings on the Feast of the Sacrifice"

Saraa sings: "We will meet our death with no hesitation...award your victory to those who sacrifice themselves, this is our wedding...Oh Martyr..."

Nahoul: "Who should I convey greetings to Saraa? Should I convey greetings to my brother who was martyred in the first Intifada, at the hands of the Zionist Jews? Should I convey my greetings to my second brother who was martyred during the second Intifada? Should I convey my greetings to my wounded brother, my Aunt who was martyred during the siege or to her orphans? Who is there for me to greet Saraa? I am so sad, Saraa."

Saraa: "Don't be sad Nahoul."

Nahoul: "I won't even convey my greetings to my Mother who suffers from diabetes or to my Father who suffers from hepatitis-C, who should I convey my greetings to Saraa? Your rubbing salt in my wounds.

Saraa: "Don't be sad Nahoul. We can all be sacrified for the sake of the homeland. May Allah help you. All we can say is that we place our trust in Allah against our enemies."

Nahoul: "We place our trust in Allah."

Hamas was created in 1987 by Sheik Ahmed Yassin of the Gaza wing of the Muslim Brotherhood at the beginning of the first Intifada against Israel---best known for its Shaheed "Suicide Bombings" directed against innocent civilians and Israel military targets. Hamas Charter calls for the destruction of Israel and its replacement with an Islamic Palestinian state. In January 2006 Hamas won a majority in the Palestinian Parliamentary Elections, taking 76 seats of the 132 seats in the chamber.

The Hamas charter states: "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except Jihad.

Hamas is funded by Iran, private donors in Saudi Arabia and other Arab countries---Hamas uses anti-Semitic rhetoric and presents Judaism as a religion based on lies. In 2003 Hamas reiterated that the Holocaust is a myth by the Zionists to encourage immigration.

In April, Palestinian Media Watch released a video in which Ahmad Bahar, acting Speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council, refers to Israeli citizens as a "...cancerous lump and prays to Allah to count them and kill them to the last one and don't even leave one."

Do Democrats Care About Honesty?

Clinton or Obama---just flip a coin Democrats may wonder in Iowa, is there a dimes worth of difference between the two other than their gender?

Clinton with no foreign policy experience except that of a First Lady despite what she has been saying on the stump---may actually do less for Women's Rights as the Woman running for President that has accomplished nothing in her own right other than being the spouse of a President.

Telling the truth---seems to escape the Senator from New York who has the ability of saying nothing in her 1 minute answers, better than most---When asked about how it was that she turned $1000 into $100,000 in cattle futures, one never did learn how it was that she accomplished that in less than a year? Odds makers say that the chances of someone accomplishing this without insider information is about 1 in 250 Million

Senator Clinton never has provided an honest answer how it was that her brother Hugh Clinton pocketed $400,000 from people that later received pardons from Bill?

Senator Obama's campaign has released a list of names this month, of 130 Ministers from South Carolina that have endorsed his campaign---the problem, some of the Ministers whose names are on the list say that they "...haven't made up their mind and was unclear how they got on the list?" Of course, its not too difficult for a campaign to pull out the Friendly Yellow Pages, a great source of names when one is developing a list.

Rev. Clifford Gaymon of Zion Hill Missionary Baptist Church in rural Clarendon County and Rev. Michael Blue of Door of Hope Christian Church in Marion were added to the list without their permission.

Senator's Clinton and Obama, equally share one thing in common---their lack of any real executive level experience at doing anything on their own.They do know how to campaign for office, telling the voters nothing except what they want to hear even if its just a lie. What does telling the truth have to do with campaigning for elected office?

Is this the best the Democrats have to offer the voters in 2008?

Huckabee Campaigns For National Sales Tax

Republican Presidential Mike Huckabee has announced his support for a 23% National Sales Tax which would eliminate the filing of individual income tax returns for Americans.

Huckabee calls it the Fair Tax, "...what we would do with the Fair Tax is eliminate all taxes on productivity which would mean you could earn anything you want...you would not be penalized for saving, earning, for having capital gains, making an investment..."

To ease the burden on lower income Americans, proponents want to give "pre-bate" cash payments to cover the sales tax on spending up to the federal poverty level---this year a couple with 2 children would have received $525.00 a month according to the organization Fairtax.org

Huckabee told a crowd gathered in South Carolina in May, "...I have a dream that one day in this country...April 15 will just be another beautiful day..."

Critics call it a Crackpot Plan and that anyone that supports it should not be taken seriously. Others say that the tax would largely benefit the wealthy who save the largest share of their income and that 23% is far too low to maintain government expenditures at current levels.

When Ronald Reagan was President, he proposed a Flat Tax Plan in which Americans could calculate their Income Taxes on a post card.

The Democrats in Congress which enjoy the Power of the Purse last month voted to over-ride a Presidential veto which was the first veto override in Bush's 7 year Presidency and only the 107th time Congress has successfully voted to override a Presidential Veto in the nations history. Congress delivered a $23 Billion Dollar water resource measure to fund beach and Florida Everglades Restoration---the measure also authorizes $30 Million Dollars to reduce nitrogen flowing from the Washington areas Blue Plains sewage treatment plant and $30 Million Dollars for Chesapeake Oyster Restoration.

While wasteful government spending is a pet peeve of many Americans Congress loves pork barrel spending---in the 2008 Agriculture and Defense Bills in the House of Representatives under the Leadership of Nancy Pelosi, D-CA contained 410 Earmarks worth just under $300 Million Dollars the Senate version under the Leadership of Harry Reid, D-NV contained 332 Earmarks worth more than $300 Million Dollars. Of these, they include: $246,000 for Asparagus Technology; $200,000 to fund research and development of technologies to reduce production costs; $2,000,000 for the Charles Rangel Center for Public Service at City College New York; $200,000 for the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy in Las Vegas, NV; $1.5 Million Dollars for the AFL/CIO , Working for America Institute, Washington, DC; $100,000 to develop a walking tour of Boydton, VA; $300,000 to renovate the Bhul Farm, Sharon, PA; $150,000 for Rodent Control on the Aleutian Islands. Oh my!

There is a need for both sweeping tax reform that would simplify the tax code and leadership that actually believes in reigning in the orgy wasteful federal spending.

Pope: Find Time For God & Children

Pope Benedict XVI encouraged those attending and listening to the Christmas Eve Services on Monday to find time for God in their lives.

"...man is so preoccupied with himself he has such urgent need of all space and all the time for his own things that nothing remains for others, for his neighbor, for the poor, for God...the Child of Bethlehem directs our gaze towards all children who suffer and are abused in the world, the born and the unborn..."

Pope Benedict blessed the crowd that gathered for the services, as the choir sang, the Pope spread incense on the alter with the traditional wish "Pax Vobis" (Peace be with you) the faithful responded "El cum spiritu tuo" (And also be with you)

At noon today, the Pope delivered the traditional Christmas Day message Urbi et Orbi (To the City and to the World) from the Balcony of St. Peter's Basilica to a crowd that was expected to be in the tens of thousands and issue Christmas greetings to the world.

Final Christmas Eve Mass At Ground Zero

The last Christmas Eve Mass was held at Ground Zero with about 75 people in attendance Rev. Brian Jordan officiated the Mass where families had an opportunity to pray. A Sanitation Worker that was involved in clean-up has sung at each Mass since 2001 sang God Bless America & O Holy Night at the final service.

Construction at the site is intensifying and is taking up more and more space. The first Mass came just 3.5 months following the disaster as workers were still cleaning up the site

Rev. Jordan said, "Many felt sad it was the last official on-site service but adds the occasion brings closure."

Picture of a young child placing flowers at the 9/11 site soon after that terrible day.

40 Jews Escape Enslavement Arrive In Israel

A group of 40 Jews fleeing Iran have arrived safely in Israel this evening, so far 200 Iranian Jews have fled their country in 2007---each family receives $10,000 to help them settle in from the International Fellowship of Christians and Jews a charity which raises money from evangelical donors.

Rabbi Yechiel Eckstein the groups director says that he believes that Jews are in danger in Iran, "...President Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called the Holocaust a myth and has called for Israel's destruction...many of the Jews think this too will pass, meaning Ahmadinejad and the Mullahs, but our feeling is that it is a very similar situation of Jews in Germany in the 1930's by the time they realize its not going to blow over it will be too late."

Iran is home to an estimated 25,000 to 35,000 Jews---Tehran claims there are three functioning Synagogues but Jews that have fled Iran say that while they have prayed to see Jerusalem, telephone and mail service between Iran and Israel is forbidden. In 1979 Iran severed diplomatic relations with Israel and the Jewish community remains isolated from world Jewry reports concerning the conditions and treatment of Jews in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Michael Savage Files Suit Against CAIR

Conservative talk show host Michael Savage filed suit against CAIR last week in U.S. District Court, San Francisco for copyright infringement after CAIR created a 4 minute audio tape using clips from his show and deliberately repackaged them, designed to obscure the message conveyed by Michael Savage.

Michael Savage program "Savage Nation" is regularly heard on 410 stations daily reaching about 10 million people, ranking 3rd in the nation behind Conservatives Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.

Born Michael Alan Weiner, to a Jewish family in the Bronx, he broadcasts under the pseudonym "Michael Savage"---and has written 4 best selling books.

In November, CAIR called on advertisers to express their concern about the Savage Nation anti-Muslim bigotry following CAIR's illegal use of copyrighted material. Citrix Systems, Inc. was the first company to pull its advertising followed by Office Max.

CAIR describes itself as the largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy group, promoting justice and understanding.

Based on their 2006 budget The Washington Times estimates that CAIR has less than 1,700 members and its membership has dropped 94% between 2001-2007

In August, CAIR threatened to file a law suit to stop Robert Spencer from addressing the Young America Foundation 29th Annual Conference in Washington, DC---CAIR the apologist for Islamic Jihad is desperate to promote a positive image of Islam while they continue to attempt to stifle free speech.

Islam v. Civilization

As news stories reveal how deplorable Islam is around the world and how this broken archaic religion persecutes Women, fear of this perverted religion and its fanatical promoters is understandable.

The senseless and cold blooded murder of 16 year old Aqsa Parvez in Canada who was strangled to death by her father, who was aided by her brother for her refusal to wear the Hijab, is just another reminder that Islam is not a religion of peace but intolerance.

Sheik Alla El-Sayyed, Imam at the Mississuga's Islamic Society of North America responding to questions about the murder of Aqsa Parvez said, "...women have the right to choose whether to wear the hijab or not...those who don't wear the hijab could bring shame to the family and the parents could be viewed as failures in the community."

Forget about the shame of murder and the senseless, tragic death of a child in the name of Islamic Honor---what can be more important than that?

Islam is all about Muslim Men who are gods over Women, who are seen nothing more than property. Last week Saudi Arabia King Abdullah, pardoned a Woman that had been sentenced to 200 lashes and six months in prison after she pursued charges against 6 Muslim men that had raped her.

Banaz Mahmod, the 20 year old Kurdish immigrant to Britain was murdered last year with a shoe lace by her father, after she left an abusive arranged marriage and fell in love with another man. The young woman's body was stuffed in a trunk and buried 70 miles from her home.

In January, Nazanin Fatehi, was released from an Iranian jail after a death sentence against her was commuted. Ms. Fatehi, originally had been convicted of murder for fatally stabbing a man that attempted to rape her in a park---had she yielded to the rape, she could have been stoned for engaging in non-marital sex.

In April, a 17 year old Kurdish young woman's murder was photographed and shown on YouTube as she was dragged from her home by 8 or 9 Men and stoned to death for loving a young man of the wrong religion.

The continued subjugation of Women is morally wrong as Islamic Men wage war against Women and civilization.

Unequal Rights & Segregation of Women

An Islamic Cleric Hojatolislam Gholam Reza Hassani who leads Friday prayers in Iran for the Grand Islamic Wizard Ayatollah Khamenei, said, "any Woman that does not wear the Hijab should be put to death."

Islamic Morality Police have cracked down on any woman that doesn't adopt fully the Islamic dress code. Women living under Sharia Law are the property of men. Thousands of Women have been beaten this year for their un-Islamic dress.

Hamas: Islam Will Rule The World

Hamas charter specifically mandates the murders of Jews in what it believes is the Divine will of Allah---Violence and Terrorism Hamas considers to be Resistance.

On May 13, 2005 Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris, told his Muslim brothers in his message, "...one day Islam will rule America, Britain and the entire world...and wipe out the Jews...the stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish off every Jew."

Dr. Ismail Radwan in an interview with the Hamas controlled newspaper Al-Risalah in April said, "We will liberate Palestine all of Palestine...Palestine will not be liberated by negotiations, committees and decisions...it will only be liberated by the rifle and the al-Kassam rocket. Therefore prepare yourself."

Hamas has called on the United Nations to rescind the 1947 partition plan on the 60th anniversary of the vote saying, "...Palestine is Arab Islamic land, from the river to the sea, including Jerusalem...there is no room for the Jews." Haaretz.com 29 Nov. 2007

One must learn a lesson from history---today Hamas rejected speculation about an unconditional cease fire with Israel. President Shimon Peres and Cabinet Minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer said, the daily rocket attacks fired by militants in Gaza onto Israeli cities would have to stop before negotiations with Hamas would be possible.

While Abbas promised to negotiate a peace treaty by the end of 2008 following the Annapolis Conference while in the United States, he has been saying just the opposite on Palestinian Authority television.

Clinton Co-Chair San Francisco Mayor Newsom Proposes Fat Tax

San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom says that the City by the Bay needs to raise more taxes to save people from themselves and has proposed raising taxes on all beverages that contain high fructose corn syrup. Citing a city health department survey, Newsom said that nearly 25% of San Francisco's 5th, 7th and 9th grade students were over weight and therefore like any good Democrat the solution is simple---raise taxes.

Researchers at Oxford University claim that by charging a "Value Added Tax" of 17.5% on foods that have been determined to be unhealthy, that it would cut consumer demand (they fail to mention hurt business and job losses) and reduce the number of heart attacks and strokes (there are not that many adolescents having heart attacks and strokes) a well designed and carefully targeted fat-tax could be a useful tool for reducing the burden of food related diseases the study concluded.

This comes as the State of California is considering requiring warning labels on caffeine infused sodas and energy drinks, saying that consumption may contribute to diabetes.

Abbas Raises Billions For Intifada

The Palestinian Authority has raised $7.4 Billion Dollars from 90 donor countries more than the $5.5 Billion Dollar goal of President Mahmoud Abbas---U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice pledged $550 Million Dollars---the Intifada against Israel may now continue.

While the money raised is supposed to help the Abbas Administration to build up institutions, the Palestinian Authority doesn't exactly have a good track record of spending money on rebuilding its economy as long as their is a war to fight against Israel.

At the signing of the Oslo Records in August, 1993 it was well understood that peace would only take shape, if the Palestinian Authority would receive welfare from nations around the world, to give peace a chance to work. The United States pledged some $6.5 Billion Dollars in commitments and some $4.4 Billion Dollars in disbursements to the West Bank/Gaza.

As of this year the Intifada has resulted in more than 4,300 Palestinian deaths and more than 1,000 Israeli deaths. Palestinian Arab Terrorist Thugs which include Militant groups such as Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, have continued to wage a guerrilla campaign against Israel Defense Forces using Palestinian suicide bombers, assault rifles to Qassam Rockets which have resulted in the deaths innocent Israel civilians.

Palestinian Terrorists have smuggled Strela shoulder fired missiles into Gaza which poses a risk to Israel aircraft---the missiles developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960's and then modernized are used against low flying aircraft.

In December 2005 the Palestinian Authority revealed a new law allocating money for families of Shahid---otherwise known as suicide bombers, paying the bombers families $250.00 if the bomber was married and $50.00 in addition if the suicide terrorist thug had children---another $15.00 would be added for each child. The funds would be paid from the general budget.

The war against Israel may now continue with the new financial commitments made. With $7.4 Billion Dollars more to spend on Shahid, more weapons and missiles, how many more innocent Israeli deaths will be realized by the Palestinian Authority which is determined to destroy the State of Israel.

Hatewatch Knows No Shame

Robert Spencer Director of Jihad Watch and author of 6 books two of which have been on the NY Times Best Sellers list on topics relating to Islamic Terrorism and Jihad, today has been maligned along with myself , the Publisher of The Religion of Peace and other politically conservative, pro-Israel web sites.

The allegations made by the Reverend Jim Sutter at his Hatewatch Hall of Shame site are despicable. Words alone can not describe the indignation that Robert Spencer and all the others feel as a result of the totally absurd and false allegations made by a man that calls himself a Minister.

Robert Spencer seen here in this photograph taken in July, 2007 is not even shown in the picture which appears on the Hatewatch Hall of Shame web site and the Reverend Jim Sutter, knows this to be a fact, therefore his allegations made are not only false but malicious.

The Publisher of Jihad Watch---Robert Spencer, has a Masters Degree in Religious Studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 1986 and his writings have been published in the New York Times, Washington Times, Dallas Morning News, National Review and in countless other places. The well respected educator and author has likewise been a frequent guest on network news programs from FOX News, CNN, MSNBC, C-Span just to name a few discussing Islamic Jihad and Terrorism.

Michelle Malkin on August 01, 2007 wrote an article entitled Outrage: CAIR's war on Robert Spencer, Young America's Foundation subsequent to an attempt by the apologist for Islamic Jihad--- Council on America Islamic Relations to prevent the address by Robert Spencer at the 29th annual YAF convention in Washington, D.C.

In her article Michelle said, "Where are all the free speech activists when you need them? Well, when it comes to protecting free speech of those who criticize Jihad and its apologists, the free speech protectors are hiding under their bed covers..."

The CAIR apologist---Reverend Jim Sutter in a diabolical and desperate attempt to silence Jihadi critics has allowed himself to enter the depths of the infernal region where not even Mohamed may escape the justicia ex Deus.

Mitt Romney Uncertainty

Former Massachusetts Governor and GOP Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney has called for a Employment Verification System on "Meet the Press" on Sunday, so that employers could determine if an employee was legally able to be employed in the United States---the federal government has an E-Verify system in place since 1997 which was expanded in 2005 The system is free and simple to use and should "...absolutely eliminate any excuses for employers have for not knowing the legal status of a worker..." says Vernoica Valdes, spokesperson for the U.S. Dept. of Homeland Security.

The Boston Globe reported that Romney has employed illegal aliens to do lawn maintenance for him---Romney lashed out during a GOP Debate that Rudy Giuliani provided sanctuary to illegal aliens while he was Mayor of NYC.

Romney the flip-flopper on issues with no firm convictions on anything other than maybe being a Mormon, was mystified to learn that the E-Verify system was in place when he claimed to have such a difficult challenge to verify the employment status of his lawn care workers.

The pro-choice friendly Republican believed in 2006 that the abortion debate should be left up to the states, Julie Teer spokesperson for the Gov. Romney said, "The Governor believes that states should have the right to be pro-life if that is the will of the people." In 1994 while running for the U.S. Senate Romney declared that, "...abortion should be safe and legal in this country."

On Immigration Romney has flip-flopped during the last year. In 2006 then Governor Romney supported the President's immigration policy as well as the McCain-Kennedy bill and expressed support for an immigration program that places large numbers of illegal aliens on a path toward citizenship. This year the GOP Presidential hopeful claims to strongly oppose the immigration plan but while campaigning in Florida Romney said, "...he would not deny illegal immigrants the opportunity to apply for permanent residency or citizenship..."

The Boston Globe reported in January "...that Governor Romney who once described himself as a supporter of strong gun laws...in 1994 during his failed Senate bid Romney backed 2 gun control measures opposed by the NRA..." In 2002 during a Gubernatorial debate with Democrat Shannon O'Brien, Romeny lauded Massachusetts gun laws saying, "...we do have tough gun laws in Massachusetts and I support them...I won't chip away at them, I believe that they protect us and provide for our safety."

Now running for President, the GOP hopeful has retreated on his position saying that while as Governor, he worked to ease restrictions on gun owners and proudly claims to be a proud member of the NRA.

Mitt Romney has a long and undistinguished history of flip-flopping on issues from abortion, immigration to gun control for political gain. The GOP hopeful seems uncertain what his views are for sure on matters of importance to Americans and his shifting positions should be a concern to voters in Iowa, New Hampshire and South Carolina that soon will be casting their votes in the upcoming primary process.

Why Did This Happen?

On a crisp cool wintry day, a plane bound for the United States failed to arrive at her destination.

Suddenly and without warning a plane which was carrying happy excited people vanished from radar and within moments 259 innocent people died.

Only minutes before these happy people full of excitement, stories of adventure and with anticipation on being reunited with family and friends were gone.

Many will never experience the joys of having children and none will ever again know the joy of a gentle hug or know the love and comfort of their family.

Those who are left behind with their pleasant memories, seen those pictures shattered and turn into nightmares of anguish.

Why did this happen?

As the evening turned to night the shock turned to despair---Why did this happen?

Now it is daylight and as the eastern skies turn bright once more the question is again asked, why did this happen?

The seasons may change, the leaves will fall again, winter will again arrive as the snows like from Winter's past but the question goes unanswered, why did this happen?

The entire world suffered a tremendous loss on that crisp wintry day when Pan Am 103 vanished, though many will fail to recognize their loss. All of these happy people offered the world the opportunity for new hope and fresh ideas but we all suffer now and all I can ask is, why did this happen?

Dedicated to and in Memory of Andrea V. Rosenthal, who was a passenger on Pan Am 103 on the 21 December, 1988

Editors Note: Pan Am 103 carried 259 passengers--11 persons on the ground in Lockerbie, Scotland also lost their lives.

French Lawmakers Boycott Gadhafi Visit

Libyan strongman Muammar Gadhafi met with French lawmakers earlier this month, more than half boycotted the event to protest the visit of the dictator for his part in state-sponsored terrorism. The Libyan Terrorist Thug, responsible for the bombing of Pan Am 103 on the 21 December, 1988 and the murders of 259 innocent people aboard the ill-fated plane and 11 that perished on the ground in Lockerbie, Scotland---Gadhafi met the Speaker of the French National Assembly in the second day of his state visit and executed some $14.7 Billion Dollars worth of contracts.

French President Nicolas Sarkozy defended the state visit of the Libyan Terrorist Thug explaining that it was the duty of France to encourage nations that are moving towards respectability that have renounced terrorism.

Libya started its move back into the into relations with the international community in 2003 with its decision to dismantle its nuclear arms program and paid what some people have said is Blood Money to family members of Pan Am 103 and to provide compensation to the families of the 1989 bombing of a UTA passenger jet.

"The air is crisp and very cold, the wind is damp with just a sprinkling of snow. Today as each day is, it is humbling to look around me. I know what is important." In memory of Andrea V. Rosenthal, who was murdered while a passenger aboard Pan Am 103

Syria Blocks Facebook Jewish Infiltration

Syria has blocked access to Facebook because of Jewish infiltration. Oh my...

Damascus residents have reported that they have been unable to enter the popular Internet site for a few weeks.

Lebanon's daily As-Safir reported that Facebook was blocked on November 18 and that the Syrian Government took this step, "...because Israeli's have been entering Syria based groups."

Sutter Cry Baby: Lies, Ignorance & Propaganda

The phony Navy Seal and convicted felon Reverend Jim Sutter of Hatewatch Hall of Shame who purports to "...Expose, Explore, Educate, working to eliminate hatred and extremism in all forms..." has not had one of his better weeks.

On Monday I wrote an article entitled Misunderstanding Copyright Material in which Council on American-Islamic Relations---"CAIR" Loudest Cry Baby the Reverend Jim Sutter who claims to have trained with the Israel Defense Force and served in U.S. Navy Intelligence until he retired from the Navy, has now alleged that The Religion of Peace used copyrighted material without his permission. Having investigated the allegations made by Jim Sutter, I have determined that CAIR loudest Cry Baby is still a Fibber too.

The U.S. Copyright Office web site has a Link for one to easily access information regarding persons that have obtained copyrights, I have checked their site and have discovered that neither Jim Sutter, Reverend Jim Sutter or Hatewatch Hall of Shame have any copyrights whatsoever.

In the masterfully written piece of nothing by Reverend Jim Sutter, the Minister of Shameful and Useless Information has done a lot of spitting up lately threatening superfluous legal action for imaginary wrongs against him.

In Jim Sutter's perceived and imagined diatribe made to GoDaddy.com Reverend Jim Sutter drops the name of a Wayne L. Kerek, Attorney at Law in his latest letter of dribble. What is the reader supposed to think when one sees that any reply for Jim Sutter should be sent in c/o Attorney, Wayne L. Kerek.

This afternoon Wayne Kerek, was contacted at his Strongsville, Ohio law office and Mr. Kerek said, "...Jim Sutter used to be my client...I represented him when he was charged with credit card fraud...I am not representing him now...I haven't seen Jim Sutter in 20 months..."

This afternoon a call was made to the Reverend Jim Sutter at 3:35 pm EST, providing him with an opportunity to address the allegations he has made on December 10 and 16 about The Religion of Peace. Not surprisingly the Reverend Jim Sutter who has little trouble whining in his writings of nothingness, is unwilling to be interviewed and provide any explanation about the allegations he has made this past week.

In an effort to silence their critics CAIR threatens legal action as they done when Robert Spencer, Director of Jihad Watch was invited to speak at the Young America's Foundation, 29th Annual Conservative Student Conference in Washington, D.C. in August---CAIR Loudest Cry Baby and apologist the Reverend Jim Sutter lacks the financial means to actually hire an Attorney and instead for effect, adds the name of his former attorney to complaints of perceived and imaginary wrongs, libeling those who criticize Jihad in his continuing effort to stifle freedom of speech.

Craigslist Marriage For Hire

Benjamin Claude Adams & Yuliya Mikhalovna Kalinina were arrested on November 29 after they allegedly entered into a sham marriage so she could become a U.S. Resident.

Adams of West Los Angeles and Kalinina a Russian national living in Marina Del Rey met one another courtesy of Craigslist.org In late 2005 and again in 2006 Kalinina posted 8 ads saying that she wanted to marry a U.S. Citizen solely to obtain her permanent residency, she offered her would be husband $15,000.00 in payments of $300.00 a month the ad said: Green Card Marriage/Will pay $300.00 month--Total $15,000.00 This is strictly platonic business offer, sex not involved, NOT required to live together.

Adams responded to the Craigslist.org ad in 2006 said federal prosecutors today during Kalinina's arraignment in U.S. District Court, Los Angeles. Adams arraignment is scheduled for December 24. If convicted of marriage fraud the pair could receive 5 years in prison, after which Kalinina would be deported.

Chuck Norris Endorsement of Huckabee

Chuck Norris the founder of Kickstart and television Star of Walker Texas Ranger, Delta Force & Missing in Action is seen here campaigning for GOP Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee the former Governor of Arkansas.

On October 21, Chuck Norris wrote at Worldnet Daily.com why he endorsed Mike Huckabee for President---"...Like most of you over the summer and into the fall I've been watching, listening, studying and praying about who could lead this country as our next President....Mike hasn't lived an isolated, out of touch life, like so many politicians...Mike and his Sister grew up poor, not privileged. He was the first person in his family to graduate from high school and he worked two jobs in college and graduated in 2.5 years. He is an outdoorsman, an avid fisherman, hunter and long term member of the NRA. Mike is a committed husband and father...he doesn't abandon his values for whats expedient. Like our Founding Fathers, he's not afraid to stand up for a Creator and against secularist beliefs..."

Chuck Norris who grew up poor, the son of an abusive alcoholic father graduated from Torrance High School in 1958 and enlisted into the Air Force after high school. It was there he was introduced to martial arts and later became a Black Belt and opened up a Martial Arts school in Torrance after being discharged from the Air Force, as he relates in his book Against All Odds.

A Christian and author of The Justice Riders he has been in television commercials promoting the scriptures, bible study and prayer. A long time supporter of Conservative Republican values, Chuck Norris didn't become politically active until 1988 when George Bush (41) ran for President. The endorsement of Mike Huckabee says volumes about the former Arkansas Governor, his character and principles.

Iran Continues Uranium Enrichment Program

An anti-aircraft gun is seen here in front of the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor Building at the Nuclear Power plant in Southern Iran.

Russia has delivered uranium to Iran which vows to expand its controversial enrichment program to make fuel for a different type of reactor that it is building in the Khuzestan Province---Russia has been likewise helping Iran to construct the nuclear reactor at the Bushehr Plant on the Persian Gulf.

China has sold Iran solid fuel technology and in 2002 Iran developed the Fateh 110 single stage solid propellant surface to surface missile with a range of 125 miles. According to Mossad, Iran now has developed its first intermediate range solid fuel ballistic missile with a range of 2,000 kilometers or 1250 miles.

Likewise Iran has acknowledged the development of a super computer for dual use applications. The Fars News Agency has reported that the computer contained 216 AMD processors and a theoretical peak performance of 860 gig-flops. Likewise the Fars News Agency says that Iran has developed the Ashoura Missile with a range of 1250 miles, similar in range to its Shihab-3 Missile. Mossad says this would enable for Iran to rapidly prepare for an attack on Israel and threaten United States interests in the region.

Liquid fuel for the Shibab-3 Missile requires 14 hours of preparations in contrast to the Ashoura Missile which could be stored with its solid fuel and taken directly from the warehouse to the launcher.

The pace of military planning in Israel has accelerated, Mossad disagrees with the U.S. National Intelligence Assessment providing its own intelligence assessment---given Iran's current rate of progress being made on its uranium enrichment program, Iran could have enough fissile material for a nuclear warhead by 2009

Iran and Russia have agreed on plans to complete the Bushehr Nuclear Reactor, with a time frame to be announced by the end of the month. Russia state owned Atomstroiexport prime contractor of Bushehr said it plans to launch full operations of the 1,000 megawatt reactor by October, 2008

Misunderstanding Copyright Material

In 1976 Congress passed a comprehensive copyright act that went into effect in 1978 this act is what we are governed by for the most part today. The law prohibits publishing, distribution and copying of copyrighted material.

Reverend Jim Suter of Hatewatch Hall of Shame has written an article on Sunday claiming that The Religion of Peace has unlawfully utilized copyrighted material belonging to him.

Examining the allegations made by Reverend Jim Sutter it appears dubious if his objections are real.

An image may not be copyrighted if it has no Artistic merit---a copyrighted work must be an original work of authorship, one can not copyright a phone book as there is no artistic merit to a phone book. There must be some sort of value to it however minimal for something to be copyrighted.

Copyright---The right of literary property as recognized and sanctioned by positive law, copyright protection subsists in "original work" of authorship fixed in an intangible medium. Works of authorship include: 1. literary works; 2. musical works; 3. dramatic works; 4. pantomimes and choreographic works; 5. pictorial, graphic and sculptural works; 6. motion pictures; 7. sound recordings. 17 USCA 502 et. seq.

The images that The Religion of Peace has utilized have no artistic merit and upon making a cursory check, I have been unable to find any Registration of the the images in question. Without registration, the Reverend Jim Sutter bears the burden of proving what the images utilized are worth---there no mechanism for treble damages or punitive damages without registration.

For registration to have the force of law, one has to properly fill out the registration and it must be received by the copyright office before one may claim an infringement.

Fair Use Doctrine involves a balancing process by which complex of variables determine whether other interests should override the rights of the creators. In the matter which involves the Reverend Jim Sutter, the images being utilized are not an artistic work and may have no actual value?

The Copyright Act explicitly identifies four interests: 1. the purpose and character of the use, including its commercial nature; 2. the nature of the copyrighted work; 3. the proportion that was "taken"; 4. the economic impact of the "taking." 17 USCA 107, et. seq.

Reverend Jim Sutter appears to misunderstand what is a Copyright and while he is screaming foul at the top of his lungs and claiming to have suffered some damages, it appears that the only person who actually has suffered any amount of harm is Glen Reinsford & The Religion of Peace.

This is not the first time that the Reverend Jim Sutter has made up allegations which he can not support, earlier this year this Minister libeled me in an article and he likewise has libeled others including the Director of Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer.

It is continually disturbing to see this pattern of behavior to continue without consequences. Reverend Jim Sutter deliberately manufactures allegations that he can not support either in law or fact and these actions can not be permitted to go unchallenged indefinitely.
