Islamic Facists 2006 the Year In Review
For the year in review I found this great Michelle Malkin Column on Red States.com.
The Year in Rage: By Michelle MalkinIslamic Facists A Look AheadIt began with the Danish cartoons. It ended with the flying imams. The year 2006 was a banner year for the Religion of Perpetual Outrage. Twelve turbulent months of fist-waving, embassy-burning, fatwa-issuing mayhem, intimidation and murder resounded with the ululations of the aggrieved. All this in the name of defending Islam from "insult." Let's review.
In late January, masked Palestinian gunmen took over a European Union office in Gaza City to protest the publication of a dozen cartoons about Islam, Muhammad and self-censorship in the Danish newspaper the Jyllands-Posten. They stormed the building, burned Danish flags, and spearheaded an international boycott of Denmark's products across the Muslim world.
The rage was manufactured pretext. The cartoons had been published four months earlier with little fanfare. It wasn't until a delegation of instigating Danish imams toured Egypt with the cartoons – plus a few inflammatory fake ones, including an old image of a French hog-calling contest participant deceptively portrayed as "anti-Muslim" – that the fire started burning. Think the mainstream media will remember that? Not likely. They fell for the ruse and were slow to acknowledge it after American bloggers and Danish television exposed the scheme.
What was really behind Cartoon Rage? Muslim bullies were attempting to pressure Denmark over the International Atomic Energy Agency's decision to report Iran to the U.N. Security Council for continuing with its nuclear research program. The chairmanship of the council was passing to Denmark at the time.
Alas, Western journalists, analysts and apologists were too clouded by their cowardice and conciliation to see through the smoke. More than 800 were injured in the ensuing riots, and 130 people paid with their lives. The innocents included Italian Catholic priest Andrea Santoro, who was shot to death in Turkey on Feb. 5 by a teenage boy enraged by the illustrations. The Muslim gunman shouted, "Allahu Akbar!" as he murdered Father Santoro while the priest knelt praying in his church. Several brave moderate Muslim editors who stood up to the madness were jailed, fined and convicted of crimes related to insulting Islam. The Danish cartoonists remain in hiding.
The world soon tired of Cartoon Rage, but the "peaceful" Muslim ragers were just warming up. They found excuses large and small to riot and threaten Western infidels. In India, they protested the magazine publication of a picture of a playing card showing an image of Mecca and also burned Valentine's Day cards. An insult to Islam, they screamed. In Spain, they protested a Madrid store for selling a postcard with a mosque on it with the words "We slept here." An insult to Islam, they protested. In Pakistan, they burned down a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, a Pizza Hut, and toppled Ronald McDonald. In Jakarta, they smashed the offices of Playboy magazine. You know why.
In June, the trial against lioness journalist Oriana Fallaci for insulting Islam commenced in Bergamo, Italy. She had been charged by professional Muslim rager Adel Smith of the Muslim Union of Italy of "vilipendio" – vilifying Islam – in her post-9/11 books slamming jihad. A judge had refused to throw out the case. She faced a pile of death threats and accusations of "Islamophobia" for speaking truth to Islamo-power.
Fallaci's death from cancer during the fifth anniversary week of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks pre-empted the trial in Italy, but her passing did nothing to pre-empt the eternal rage of the perpetually outraged. The day she died, the grievance-mongers were shaking their fists and calling for the head of Pope Benedict XVI for his speech that made reference to a 14th-century conversation touching on holy war and jihad. For engaging in open, honest intellectual and spiritual debate, he was condemned, lit afire in effigy and targeted anew. The ragers bombed Christian churches in Gaza City and Nablus. They murdered Italian Sister Leonella Sgorbati, an elderly Catholic nun shot in the back by a Somalian jihadist stoked by Pope Rage. "Whoever offends our Prophet Muhammad should be killed on the spot by the nearest Muslim," a Somalian cleric had declared. The Vatican made nice with Muslim leaders.
New outrages are always in bloom. In late September, it was a Berlin production of Mozart's "Idomeneo" that featured the decapitated head of Muhammad. A week later, it was a banyan tree attacked by Indonesian Muslims who wanted to disprove its mystical powers. A few days after that, it was former British foreign secretary Jack Straw, who had the audacity to make the very obvious observation that full Muslim veils impede communications between women and Westerners. Offensive! Disturbing! An insult to Islam!
Not to be outdone, a delegation of extortionist imams boarded a US Airways flight in Minneapolis in November and tried to manufacture an international human-rights incident. They clamored for a boycott and threatened to sue.
The good news: The fire did not catch here this time. The bad news: As Oriana Fallaci warned before her death: "The hate for the West swells like a fire fed by the wind. The clash between us and them is not a military one. It is a cultural one, a religious one, and the worst is still to come."
If you think it is hard to get a good appartment in New York or Los Angeles now its going to get much worse--just read this from YNETNEWS:
The Iranian news agency reported that, during his speech in western Iran, the Iranian president said that the US, Britain and Israel are doomed to disappear. "The aggressive forces will vanish, while the Iranian people will survive – since all who chose God will survive and those who distance themselves from God vanish like Pharaoh," said Ahmadinejad in his speech. "The US, Britain, and the Zionist regime will vanish since they have distanced themselves from God. This is a divine promise," he added.WOW--He talks to G-d ! Isn't Pat Robertson going to get jealous?
Folks, wake up because it is almost too late. The western world is in a WAR against Islamic Fascism. All of this nicety about political correctness, or wanting negotiations is not going to work. They want to destroy the United States, they want to destroy Great Britain, and they want to destroy Israel! It is not my words it theirs. Open your eyes and support the war on terror before we all the Iranian Despot gets his way. Heed Ms Fallaci's words:
The hate for the West swells like a fire fed by the wind. The clash between us and them is not a military one. It is a cultural one, a religious one, and the worst is still to come."
UPDATE
Yael at Boker Tov Bolder found Some Rabbis that think we should be negotiating with these Terrorists
List of Rabbis, Part II
Back in March, I published a list of rabbis who urged "constructive engagement with the new Palestinian government." As I wrote at the time, Hullo, folks, we are talking about HAMAS.
Now there's another list of "rabbinic" signatories, this time urging the United States to "re-engage all of the important players in this conflict, including Iran and Syria." Actually this effort started up around the High Holy Days, and I'm only just now coming across it.
Now get this through your heads, boys and girls. These "rabbis" want the US to talk to Eichmanndinejad, who every other day threatens the annihilation of the only Jewish country in the world. I simply can't believe they found over three hundred Jewish people, let alone rabbis, who would put their name to such an unbelievable disgrace.
Anyway, here's the list, in alphabetical order by last name. You might want to check it for a rabbi near you.

As I was copying out the names, it seemed there was a preponderance of women, so yes, I went back and bolded the women's names - only where I was certain - so I could look at the list and see what's what on the basis of gender. (Go ahead, call me sexist, I've been called worse.) I assume there are less women rabbis than men in the general population, so perhaps it is a preponderance if you look at it that way.I've rather given up on the notion of "progress." Efforts toward "gender equality" have only proven the real, underlying equality of women: we can be just as stupid and misguided as men. Maybe even more so.
Gee Yael..what I noticed was there was very few southerners. I hope you folks that go to these Shuls remember what to say when your clergy's contracts come up for renewal:
Shalom Y'all
