Score another one for the gay speech police.  Attack pink clothing or annoying David Beckham Super Bowl underwear ads for H&M, and you’ve apparently attacked gays.

I thought gay people didn’t want everyone to buy into the stereotype that they are all alike, that they like pink and lavender, and that they like exhibitionist soccer stars prancing around in their underwear.  But I was wrong.

At least, that’s the case with CNN commentator Roland Martin, who’s been suspended indefinitely and will probably be fired for tweets he made attacking Beckham’s Super Bowl underwear ad and people wearing pink clothing.  The only thing that might save Martin is the fact that he’s Black (and liberal).  If he were White (and/or conservative), he’d probably be looking for work now, thanks to the gay speech gestapo.

But If you read the tweets, they are benign.  If anyone really thinks he was advocating violence against anyone, let alone gays, they are morons.  The tweets are clearly made in jest. And he never attacked gays.  This is ridiculous:

Hey, yet another sign of how “tolerant” and “democratic” the “Springtime Arabs” and “liberal democrats” of the Islamic world are.  Better not criticize them . . . even if you live in the Western world. And, by the way, if this can happen in Australia, it WILL happen in America (and has). The Muslim violence in Australia is so bad now that they have a “Middle Eastern Organised Crime Squad” there. Ali Ibrahim getting shot in the knees in Sydney isn’t a lone incident. It’s Islam.  (BTW, check out the Arabic tattoos on this guy just above his pelvis and another just below his chest.  I can’t see it well enough to read it.) This is Islam, dear readers.  Even the “pro-democracy” Muslims violently attack the Assad Muslims.  They are barbarians on all sides, as I’ve been saying for years now.

And it’s yet another example of how Muslims cannot be peaceful and tolerant with each other, frequently engaging in this kind of violence. For those of you who are unaware, as I’ve noted on this site before, the Alawis or Alawites, known in Arabic as Al-Alaween or Al-Alawiyah, are a small sect of Islam that is a single-digit minority in Syria, of which Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad and the Assad family are members.

Many Muslims–both Sunni and Shi’ite–do not even consider the Alaween to be legitimate Muslims, as they celebrate several Christian holidays and engage in other traditions not characteristic to Islam. The Alawis are Shi’ites and are also huge Iran and Hezbollah supporters and haters of Israel, so the Shi’ites generally tolerate and support them. Those engaged in the anti-Assad “democracy” movement in Syria are the majority Sunni population, which hates Alawis, and I would safely presume that the attack on this guy was committed by Sunnis in Sydney, Sunnis who want the Muslim Brotherhood to take over there, which is probably what will happen if Assad is deposed. Yup, New Boss same as the Old Boss (only worse). I would also be safe in assuming that this man whose knees were shot up, Ali Ibrahim, was a Hezbollah supporter. Both the shooters and the shootee have something in common: they hate Israel and hate Jews. No tears from me over the Islamic natural selection. Let allah sort it out.

And, with the many Muslim immigrants and their progeny who inhabit the U.S., just as many of them do Australia, we will encounter more and more of this violence, with some of us getting caught in the crosshairs. Oh, and BTW, just as in the ghetto, Muslims engaged in violence across Australia’s streets believe in the “no snitchin'” rule. More on that later in this post.

More:

Ali Ibrahim was shot on his Sydney doorstep early on Monday morning. Two men fired three shots into his knees, and he may not be able to walk again.

His family believe it may have been because of his support for Syrian President Bashar al-Assad – which he expressed in a dispute on Facebook. Read the rest of this entry »

I get sick of cheap-talk politicians–including Republicans–who will praise Israel, but then enable and support Islamic terrorists and their supporters right here on U.S. soil.  If you don’t care enough to stop open jihadists on American shores, I don’t give a flying bleep what you say about a country thousands of miles away, in a cheap appeal to gullible Jewish Americans (and an equally gullible and ignorant Daniel Halper of The Weekly Standard).  And so it goes with Chris Christie, who today was hailed for praising Israel at a speech before AIPAC–the pro-Israel lobby.  He’s quoted as saying,

I admire Israel for the enemies it has made.

Halal Pig Chris Christie Appointed HAMAS Judge Sohail Mohammed: “I Admire Me for the Enemies of Israel I’ve Appointed”

Really? Looks more like Chris Christie just admires the enemies Israel has made. Otherwise, why the heck did Christie work overtime to stop Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents from deporting, Mohamned Al-Qatanani, an admitted member and fundraiser of HAMAS, allowing him to continue his HAMAS fundraising efforts here, so that the enemies Israel has made can murder more Israelis? And why did Chris Christie appoint to a judgeship, HAMASnik Sohail Mohammed–a Muslim man who not only represented that HAMAS member, but who refuses to condemn HAMAS and claims he never heard of the terrorist group, despite representing a member of it in deportation proceedings?  He dismissed people with legitimate complaints about this as “crazies.”  He said, “Complaints about sharia are crap!” Read the rest of this entry »

Regardless of what you think of Madonna and her other politics (and I’ve been critical of some of those), she refuses to bow to the pressure of anti-Israel, anti-Semitic jihadists and their boycotts against the Jewish state.  As I noted previously, she and her daughter, Lourdes, literally wrapped themselves in the Israeli flag in concert in Tel Aviv.  She begins her newest concert tour in Tel Aviv in May, again bucking the jihadists and ignoring their terrorist threats against her.  That deserves plaudits. And you can write her and her management team to thank them (details here, thanks to readers Miranda Rose Smith and Jonathan Grant).

Madonna Wears Israeli Flag (w/ Daughter Lourdes)

But there are other artists who aren’t as rich or well known as Madonna, who’ve also ignored Muslim calls to boycott Israel, to their peril, like singer Lara Fabian, who deserves our recognition and support.  Fabian, a beautiful Italian-Belgian singer with Canadian citizenship, is now banned in Lebanon because she performed in Israel and expressed her love of the country at events elsewhere.  She also once committed the “crime” of singing in Hebrew.  And the locale that banned her is of note because it’s a Lebanese casino.  Because gambling is prohibited by Islam, only Christians and completely secular Muslims generally own casinos (though some hypocritical, “devout” Muslims own casinos as is the case in the Palestinian Authority).  And even they are boycotting those who perform in Israel, none of them “moderates” or “tolerant” when it has anything to do with the “evil Joooos.”

I want to thank Asad Ghsoub and his fellow hatred-filled Israel boycotters for introducing me, my friends, and readers to Ms. Fabian, because I’d never heard of her before, and she has a terrific voice.  Many of her songs are in Italian, but below is her version of The Carpenters’ “Close to You.”

Lara Fabian has performed in Lebanon twice before. . . .
Fabian, who was scheduled to perform on February 14 and 15 at the Casino du Liban in Jounieh, announced on Thursday that her upcoming concert has been cancelled amid an intense boycott campaign by local activists. At issue is her record of involvement with Israel. Read the rest of this entry »

Remember Nafissatou Diallo, the Muslim immigration defrauder and false rape accuser against Dominique Strauss-Kahn?  She not only lied about being gang-raped, so she could get asylum in the U.S. and a green card, but she also lied about the rape, so she could shake down Strauss-Kahn for money, as she said in recorded telephone conversations with her drug-smuggler boyfriend, who was in an Arizona prison.  Well, despite the fact that her story was phony, 30,000 New York hotel maids and their union used the whole false rape accusation scam against DSK to shake down New York City hotels to pay for rape panic buttons with, which each maid will be equipped in the next year.  And if you visit New York, you’ll pay for it with jacked-up hotel room prices (for chain hotels, I’m sure they’ll jack up the room prices everywhere to pay for this).

But there are several buttons missing from this scheme.  Where are the false-rape panic buttons when an immigration-fraud-perpetrating,  “devout Muslim” maid falsely accuses a hotel guest of rape to shake him down for money?  Why don’t the hotels spring for that, too, since it seems to be more necessary given the circumstances of what eventually panned out?  I also wonder whether–when the buttons are actually used against Muslim hotel guest rapists–if the allah-worshipping perpetrator will merely get five days of community service at a soup kitchen, as opposed to what prosecutors were seeking against DSK.

For those who say fears of sharia (Islamic law) being practiced by U.S. governmental bodies are unfounded, here’s yet another exampled that those fears are spot on:  the City of Minneapolis is now in the sharia-loan business to accommodate Muslims seeking loans that don’t charge interest.  So much for the Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution that prohibits government from establishing any religion or doing anything to favor any religion.  I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, there is no “separation between mosque and state” and in America, only a separation between church and state and synagogue and state.  And this latest Minneapolis practice is Exhibit A.

In 2005, Afrik Grocery and Halal Meat on Cedar Avenue needed to expand. Owner Abdi Adem, who operates his business under Sharia law, needed to find a loan that funded the expansion and complied with his religious beliefs.

Finding the loan was easier than he expected.

Since December 2006, the city of Minneapolis, in partnership with the African Development Center, has given out 54 loans in a way that is compliant with Islamic law by using a fixed rate in place of a variable interest rate, which some considered sinful. Read the rest of this entry »

This is truly sickening, especially in a country that pretends to have a First Amendment and yet seems to apply it only to the left and Islamic terrorists.  I’ll bet if Lt. Col. Terrence Lee Lakin had told the Kansas regulatory agency that he’s a HAMAS member, they’d have given him the medical license.  But question Barack Obama, and you are denied.  It’s especially disgusting since this man risked his life for America fighting for the very free speech rights he’s now being denied. Dr. Lakin, who is a licensed doctor in both Maryland and Colorado, served on the front lines of Afghanistan and also in Bosnia–places where the values of the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts would apparently be at home–and has a bronze star.  He has a great lawsuit here, and I hope he pursues it.

For the record, I am NOT a birther (and I don’t support this man’s decision not to follow orders under Obama), but that is and should have been irrelevant to whether or not this dedicated doctor was licensed in Kansas, where officials apparently see themselves as the government-appointed speech and thought police. Read this and barf (Kudos to Topeka, Kansas’ KCTV for covering this and doing a blockbuster job on it:

A Kansas board that denied a licensed doctor of osteopathic medicine a license was primarily concerned about the man’s political views. Read the rest of this entry »

For years, I’ve warned on this site about the impending merger between America’s preferred Islamic terrorists, Fatah and its leader Mahmoud Abbas a/k/a “Abu Mazen,” and the Muslim world’s favorite terrorists, HAMAS.  And, as I warned, this week, the merger was  agreed to in Doha, capital of our “loyal ally,” Qatar (and Al-Jazeera, which Qatar funds).  This is just one of the major reasons why America was extremely stupid–as I’ve warned over the years–to support Fatah, Abbas, and the P.L.O.  This support came largely to fruition under the Bush Administration, with George W. Bush giving Fatah gazillions for campaign ads, business start-ups, and, then, mortgage bail-outs for the Palestinians.  All of this money now goes to HAMAS.

Don’t let the fact that Abbas was picked to head the HAMAS unity government fool ya.  He’s the face picked because he’s already been accepted and ass-kissed by the West (despite his open support for and involvement in both Islamic terrorism and Holocaust denial).  But HAMAS will be running the show.  HAMAS is the dominant force in both Gaza and the Palestinian Authority (PA), today.  And this just clears the way for HAMAS to take over officially, even without elections.  But, when those elections come, the group will solidify its power and hold over both Gaza and the PA, with access to these continuing funds from your tax dollars–funds which Congress and the State Department decline to cut off.  In fact, the Obama State Department, dismisses the HAMAS unity government as a mere “internal matter” of the Palestinian people!  Uh-huh, the same HAMAS that throws its people off 13 story buildings, the same HAMAS which is funded by Iran and blows people up.  “Internal matter.” Oh, and in case you missed it, Khaled Meshaal, the head of HAMAS, said that this unity government signifies a pact to “unify against the enemy.” Guess who that enemy is? Israel, the West, Christians, Jews. All of those–HAMAS is coming for you.

Congressional amendments forbid foreign aid going to Hamas, which the United States has designated a terrorist organization. A partnership with Mr. Abbas could lead to a cutoff. “It further jeopardizes whatever existing aid is left,” said Representative Gary L. Ackerman, a Democrat from New York.

Until now, the State Department has declined to restrict aid, including military assistance to Palestinian security forces that totaled $450 million last fiscal year. The department has argued that the prospect of a Palestinian unity government that included Hamas, first announced last year, never fully materialized. . . . Read the rest of this entry »

You’ll see no tears or sympathy from me for the 19 pro-Arab Spring “Americans” whom Egypt won’t allow to leave and has announced plans to put on trial.  You see, unlike the shrieking frauds who pretend to know something (that means fakes like Scamela Geller and Slobbert Spencer), I actually know a good deal about Sam LaHood and the others.  All of them come from leftist non-governmental organizations (NGOs), who, for the most part, have no business being in Egypt and should know better. They are mostly far-left Israel-haters, HAMAS and Hezbollah supporters, and pro-Islamic fools who pushed the Egypt democracy BS and supported the overthrow of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.  Now, they are reaping what they sow.  As my late father used to say, “Cast thy s**t upon the waters . . . .”  They have, and now it’s coming back to them in spades.  Sadly, Hillary and Barack will probably save them in a way they’d never do for you or me.

Yes, Sam LaHood is the most “famous” of the bunch, because he is the son of Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood.  That’s how he got the job as director of International Republican Institute in Egypt:  he’s an Arab (the LaHoods are Lebanese) and the son of a high-ranking anti-Israel, pro-Muslim Obama official, and he’s nominally a “Republican.”  And he shares the views of dear old dad.  As longtime readers will recall, I told you, back in 2009 about Ray LaHood’s record as one of the most anti-Israel, pro-Hezbollah/pro-HAMAS Republican Congressmen.  LaHood put Lebanon and his Lebanese heritage first before the interests of the United States at all times, always embracing and pimping for Hezbollah, the Islamic terrorist group that murdered more Americans than any other, except for Al-Qaeda. While the LaHoods are Christian Arabs, their emphasis is on the Arab part, and they are water carriers for Islam, as many Christian Arabs are.

As I’ve noted, LaHood made repeated trips to Lebanon to meet with Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, including the 2006 Hezbollah-Israel War, and each time he returned to the U.S. to make attacks on Israel, including in appearances on “FOX News Sunday” and “Meet The Press.”  He repeatedly compared Israel’s defense of its people to terrorism.  And he had a record of sponsoring and voting for anti-Israel bills in Congress. In addition to sponsoring the anti-Israel Rachel Corrie Bill and voting against the use of profiling and secret evidence against Islamic terrorists, he sent a letter to then-President Bush, calling on him to pressure Israel and equating Israel’s defense of its citizens against terrorist rocket attacks to those terrorist attacks. The letter was supported by the usual cast of Arab, Muslim, and anti-Israel organizations. You can read more of the details about Ray LaHood’s hatred of Israel and support of Islamic terrorism here.
