  The peace racket

  by John Doe in

  a growing movement is pushing a worldview that ignores history's lessons about strength and appeasement.. by bruce bawer.

  september 2, 2007.

  'if you want peace, prepare for war," counseled the roman general flavius vegetius renatus more than 1,600 years ago, echoing the sage advice given nine centuries earlier by the chinese military strategist sun tzu.

  If you want peace, make it a bad bet to attack you. there will always be those who desire what you have, or to take you down a rungs. We have a responsibility to our children to ensure that they are safe, and the biggest threat we currently face is islamic fascism, communism might be staging a comeback, and the neocommunism of today's hard left poses a fifth collumn danger right within our walls.~RollerDave

  Right on, Roller!

  Antonio Gramcsci's development of multiculturalism as a political tool and the West's buy in to it via academia and our pols have fostered a fifth column. The words of Khrushchev ring true when he said 'We will bury you', although with a twist. We will bury ourselves (Western Civilization, that is).

  I am beginning to wonder if the purpose of 20th century cults besides control of people and accumulation of wealth is to foster in their communitys or in the freed population a Gramscian multi-cultural live and let live philosophy. They join the ranks of the fifth column that RollerDave speaks of.

  Neville Chamberlain sought to appease the Nazi regime and limit the expansion of the Soviet Union through the Munich Agreement, but it didn’t give Britain peace, limit communism or stop the Nazis. The current war was initiated not as a defensive action to avenge 9-11 nor to rid Iraq of a dictator despite what GWB still believes (or pretends too). He has been bought and paid for by an industry dependent on a region of the world that subscribes to an ideology diametrically opposed to the West. Pulling out of Iraq and ceasing all US military actions anywhere will not bring peace, nor will it solve our greedy imperialistic ways. However, that is another topic.

  I will say this for the peace movement; it has given us some good music. The Guthries, Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs and Bob Dylan are some of my favorites. I now just find myself less able to tolerate some of their philosophies.

  let's just say, hypothetically speaking, that an elder called me on the phone recently.

  let's also say, hypothetically, that i just so happen to be recording the conversation.

  let's then say he called me again and recorded it again.

  Iranian Women "Honored" on Thursday !

  don't "play" with islamic law, iranian women told 43 minutes ago .

  activists should not try to change islamic laws relating to women's rights, iran's supreme leader said on wednesday, two days after one campaigner was reportedly sentenced to 34 months in jail and ten lashes.. ayatollah ali khamenei, also lambasted the west for using women as a tool to advertise products, make money and to satisfy "disorderly and unlawful sexual needs," state television said.. he was addressing a group of women, most dressed conservatively in head-to-toe black chadors, in tehran ahead of thursday's anniversary of the birth of prophet mohammad's daughter, fatima, when iran honors mothers and women.. campaigners say iranian women face difficulties in getting a divorce and criticize inheritance laws they say are unjust and the fact their court testimony is worth half that of a man's.. the islamic republic rejects allegations it is discriminating against women, saying it follows sharia law.. "we are witnessing in our country that some women activists and some men are trying to play with islamic laws ... in order to harmonize them with international conventions related to women," khamenei said.

  If the Iranians are so damn upset with Western nations trying to impose their will in the Middle East, then why are they trying to dictate their form of morality to "the West"?

  How are they trying to do that? Criticizing is not dictating.

  ~Merry

  No, criticizing is not dictating, but kidnappings, beheadings, assination in the streets (Pym Fourtune, Theo VanGoh), bombings, pushing the envelope on airliners (Minneapolis 6), demanding special accomodations (public funded footbaths), special consideration in schools for prayer is.

  Egypt Outlaws all Female Circumcision

  by Rabbit in

  egypt has somewhat joined civilization.

  with all the misogynistic practises in the middle east already, taking away a woman's right to actually enjoy sexual relations, is barbaric and pitiful.

  their 'lot' in life in one (1) more country just got a little better.

  While Egypt's secular government has outlawed the practice, as have many other nations, where there is an Islamic community, there will be FGM. Until the ayatollahs, mullahs and imams of all schools of Islam declare a fatwa against it, it will be practiced underground.

  Shari'ah (Islamic law) divides actions into five categories; mandatory, commendable, permissible, detestable and strictly forbidden. Female circumcision falls within the category of the permissible.

  I can understand why some want to believe that FGM is not an Islamic practice, but facts bear out that while not heavily practiced in the Arabian Peninsula, it is still part of the Islamic experience for millions of Muslim women, perpetrated by women with the tacit approval of men. http://www.taoofdefiance.com/2007/06/08/female-genital-mutilation-an-islamic-practice/

  Here is an article from the Daily Observer in Gambia, in which the president of the Supreme Islamic Council calls FGM 'just an ordinary thing' and is permissible, not a sin. He asserts that '"It is just today that the practice is harmful."'

  Here is an article about FGM in Egypt, where it is an ordinary thing. http://www.memritv.org/Transcript.asp?P1=1467

  Here is an article about FGM in Iraq where it is an ordinary thing. FGM practiced among the Kurdish Shafii school of Islam:
  http://www.jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/2005/08/007620print.html

  Here is an article about FGM in the KSA, only widespread in the southern part of the country, and not illegal, but than again, it is not culturally acceptable for Saudis to speak of such things to journalists. http://www.arabnews.com/?page=9§ion=0&article=60703&d=20&m=3&y=2005&pix=community.jpg&category=Features

  my son, joshua - the 3 year old, loves the us flag (he has a couple mini ones), any map of the united states (even the little weather map in the newspaper), the statue of liberty (likes to pose as such and is fixated on looking a picture of said statue) and is now starting to take an interest in the federal buildings in d.c.. we really don't know that to think about this other than keeping him supplied with maps, flags, and pictures of the statue of liberty.. what do you all think?.

  i was looking at ebay for old jw literature and ran across this.

  i have never seen this in my life, and i don't think this is a standard release package.

  is there a copy of it on the web somewhere where i can look at it without having to spend $100+?.

  That is too funny. I notice from the bid history there are four bids, and the first three are from the same person! This just adds proof to my personal theory-in dubland, it's either shill or be shilled.

  And the E-Bay user names, carpetsweeper, and awake! LOL
