Holland Tunnel closing inbound to trucks

They are taking the latest threats very seriously in New York. From Newsday, with thanks to Miss Moneypenny:

The Holland Tunnel was to close to commercial traffic heading to New York at 12:01 a.m. Monday, officials said Sunday evening.

The ban was "correlated to the warning about the downtown financial districts," said Tony Ciavolella, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.

Here is more information about how the jihadist plans were discovered: Al-Qaida computer reveals plans to target U.S. and Britain. From AP, :

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan- Pakistani intelligence agents found plans for new attacks against the United States and Britain on a computer seized during the arrest of a senior Al-Qaida suspect wanted for the 1998 twin U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa, the information minister said.

The plans were found in e-mails on the computer of Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian arrested July 25 after a 12-hour gunbattle in the eastern city of Gujrat, Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told The Associated Press on Monday.

"We got a few e-mails from Ghailani's computer about [plans for] attacks in the U.S. and U.K.," he said.

Ahmed said authorities have also arrested another top Al-Qaida suspect believed to be a computer and communications expert, and that that man was cooperating with investigators.

"He is a very wanted man, but I cannot say his name now," Ahmed said.

Interior Minister Faisal Saleh Hayyat confirmed that Ghailani was sharing "vital" information, but he would not comment on what it was.

"He has given us vital information, but we cannot share specifics," Hayyat said. An intelligence official said the information about a U.S. attack appeared to be centered on New York. He spoke on condition of anonymity.

Simple solution. This would be hard work and time consuming, but successful nonetheless. Move Muslims out of the United States. Round them up, and ship them out. If they refuse to leave, then sent them to Git-mo.

If the resist, shoot them. This is costing all of us a fortune in security all because Muslims live here. Outlaw the Qur'an. It's happening in European countries, and it should happen here. None of them can truly be trusted, and the people in this country have the right to be secure.

Islam is the planet's largest security violation.

Tax the muslim community with a special tax for the cost of security.

Another sensless "high alert" story to fool american people by pathetics looking for more power and oil.

America - Wake up and fix yourself.

This kind of thinking (rounding up muslims, etc.) is a prelude to fascism.

If our republic is in jeopardy, Hitler type tactics will not save it. Remember, Hitler called for an "Enabling Act" to "protect the Fatherland" from terrorist acts. Then began a series of "arsons fires" (probably started by Nazis) to provide an excuse for Hitler's secret political agenda. The comparison to the U.S. "Patriot Act" and other "over reaches" by this government is obvious.

Are we smarter than the German people? How much power and control can we trust our government with?

We need LESS government and MORE personal responsibility.

The solution to securing our nation from terror within and without is to follow the constitutuion.

Peggy

In a perfect world, where everyone had a brain and knew how to use it, you might be right. But brains have no part in the Muslim ideology. Unlike Hitler our threat is real.

19 Islamic bastards hijack four civilian planes, fly them into the World Trade
Centre, the Pentagon and the ground – all the time praising their false and monstrous Allah and killing thousands of innocent men women and children. At the same time, there is celebration and dancing in the streets of Muslim countries and nary a peep from “moderate Islam” (if in fact moderate Islam even exist.)

US Sailors are blown up on the Cole by the Muslim assassins and countless other wars are waged and atrocities are committed in the name Islam.

More than a 1,000 US soldiers die at the hands of ungrateful morons too stupid to realize that there could be huge improvements in their lives, if they were to exert a little bit of effort to cooperate, try a peaceful solution and listen a whole lot less to the crusty, narrow-minded and uneducated fools that teach them hate under a religious cloak.

On a world stage, the US is mocked while the terrorists gain converts by indiscriminately creating havoc.

And now, not even three years after 9/11, the left in the U.S. is worried about being politically correct and Bush on the right is quoted as saying that Islam is a “Religion of Peace”?

FOUR THOUSAND U. S. CITIZENS WERE ROASTED OR CRUSHED in the twin Towers or killed in action and the U.S. is afraid of being too hard on the cult of Islam!!!?

Why do we feel the need to Michael Moore ourselves into inaction when there is no such introspection on the part of Islam?

What does Islam have to do to let us know it has declared war on democracy, tolerance, women, civility, morality, culture, music and everything else in the world that is good and matters?

Let’s not pretend anymore – let’s abandon political correctness in this situation, we cannot afford to be paralyzed into inaction. Let’s recognize that Islam is a cult of death and call a spade a spade. The monster is Islam.

Please do us all a favor and forget the liberal nonsense. You don’t win this kind of war by embracing these scum.

Peggy, your comparison of my comments to Hitler's actions are not only unrealistic, but stupid as well. Muslims are the problem. There should be no immigration of Muslims into the U.S., period. They're liars, sneaks, and throat slashers.

But, your comments, however, arethat of tree huggers and bootlickers. Let me guess, you're going to be voting for the Dems, right?

I'll explain it one more time: There is no reasoning with Islam. There is no negotiating with Islam. There is no bargaining with Islam. It's been tried, and it has failed.

However, perhaps you should go get fitted for your burkha.

Good idea Voltaire.

Peggy, Islam is the most pure, longstanding, and entrenched example of facsism in history. IT needs to be stopped.

This is for Son of Infidel: you gave me a great idea!

No DC Watson; she'll vote for the party that thinks women are too dumb to make their own decisions, the party that looooves Saudi Arabia, the party that tried to kill the 9-11 commission, the party that's run by the Carlye Group, the party who's leaders are helping the Saudis fight the lawsuit that calls them to task for creating the 9-11 terrorists. You know, the "pro-military" party that's sent 914 men to die over a hunch?

But keep shilling for the RNC and the Walking Disaster (or should that be "bike-riding disaster? LOL!)... you look good in brown lipstick.

Peggy,

Your knee-jerk derision of the Patriot Act merely proves that you haven’t, in fact, read it. In essence, the Patriot act simply extends the same existing set of laws used against organized crime to apply to terrorists. Are you saying that terrorism isn’t serious enough of a threat to use these existing laws? I think that American faces more of a threat from Osama bin Laden than John Gotti, Jr. Don’t you? That is all the Patriot Act does, despite all the liberal smoke. Our Constitutional liberties are not on fire simply because the Justice Department has a new and legitimate target for long-standing racketeering laws.

Now on to internment.

Internment means depriving a segment of the American population that most cherished American value, liberty. It is hardly new, and hardly fascist, though hardly a decision to be taken lightly.

In World War II, as we are all aware, we interred many American Japanese, at the time, feeling that this population was a significant security risk. 110,000 American Japanese (70,000 born in America) were eventually detained. Because they were loyal Americans, they submitted to this indignity and left everything they worked for behind until the war was over. Except, many didn’t just sit there. They chose to fight. For America. History has shown us that the fear of Japanese-Americans was completely unfounded.

Indeed, the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, was made up exclusively of American Japanese and fought the bloodiest battles of the European Theater. These 4,500 men have been recognized as the single most decorated unit in United States history. 18,000 total awards were bestowed upon the 442nd, including 9,500 Purple Hearts, 4,000 Bronze Stars, 560 Silver Stars, 52 Distinguished Service Crosses, Seven Distinguished Unit Citations, and 20 Congressional Medals of Honor.

These men volunteered for this country, and fighting both prejudice and the Germans, earned their right to be called Americans.

Because our prejudices were proven wrong then, we don’t want to consider internment or mass deportation of Muslims as a society, at least not yet. How much longer that lasts may depend on how soon and severe the next Muslim attack on America is.

If there were signs from Muslims in America that they were against these attacks on America and our allies, then I would firmly against deportation and/or internment. But what have Muslims in America shown us?

At best indifference, Muslims have shown us indifference and denial At worst, they have displayed tacit, and sometimes explicit approval of attacks on American targets. Their community leaders provide monetary support to known terrorist organizations. Their only loud public voice is one of self-serving outrage that we would even suspect them, while doing little or nothing to earn the respect that they claim we owe them.

Muslims in American have not yet proven that they have earned the right to stay here. Their continued existence in America should be based firmly upon their actions, or inactions. If they prove to more loyal to America, they should of course stay. If they abuse the chances American provides, and present a threat to the rest of America, they will have to be dealt with, and deportation of foreigners seems to be one solution worth considering, as should the internment of American Muslims.

They chose their fate by their own actions, Peggy.

What will they chose?

I'm glad you're back here KJ.

Don't let the right-wingers here chase you away.

We need everyone from all ends of the political spectrum if we are to succeed in this war.

Gee, keithjoy, who is the walking disaster?

That wouldn't be the enemy-fire faking, village-burning, self-professing war criminal, John Kerry, would it?

The same guy who collected one, and possibly two Purple Hearts on missions his boat crew members stated adamently that there was no enemy fire? The same guy who can't get more than 2 of his 23 fellow swift boat commanders to support him? The same guy who is a hero, with an honored place in the Vietnamese War Crime Museum for his part on their side of the war effort in Vietnam?

They guy who's Senate voting record was so out of whack that taking about hampster CPR was as close as he could come to personal acheivement in the past 20 years? The guy who is planning to run on the Jimmy Carter economic plan? Don't worry, kj, the truth will set him free.

Keep revising history, keithjoy. Maybe one day you'll get it too your liking.

I'm glad you are back also, KJ.

Your rhetoric fits right in with the likes of Reza and Mahmoud. Readers here Need to see what the Left has to offer us for the future:

Nothing.

btw, a prediction: Kerry's Negative bounce won't stay that way. I am willing to bet he gains some momentum in the next few weeks.

Stick that one in your pipe and smoke it, KJ: I predict Kerry will manage to make it a close race.

Oh! and have you learned the correct spelling of 'liberal' yet? Or are you sticking by the public school education that Teddy and Co. got for you?

Keith Joy, I've sided with you when no one else would, so watch what you say, you don't intimidate me.....Staunch Dem, do you have a shread of a clue who Kerry's skag of a wife's Tides Foundation donates money to?

You should research before you puke.....And by the way, if anyone here doesn't like what John Kerry says, wait an hour and it'll change.

And you know what, Keith?

When I start reading something and sudden, glaring stupidity comes into view, I give up on it.

I can't read very long at a muslim site, or at Farakhan's site, or at Democratic Underground, or at any National Alliance site.

Nor can I stomach reading much of what you have to say anymore. Hatred of deliberate stupidity is one of my biggest prejudices. I guess having read thousands of books from every period of history, all the was back to Troy- including hundreds of history books from the last couple of centuries- has made me want to see Reason, not rhetoric. Common Sense, not Deliberate Ignorance.

But stick around anyway. Like I say, people need to see the choices being offered.

DC Watson is absolutely correct. The enemy has declared war on us. We know who the enemy is. The enemy is abroad & in this country & must be dealt with wherever they are found. If you insist on living with blinders on, that is your choice. But, rest assured, appeasement of these psychos has not, does not & will not work.
Hey KJ - wipe off your chin there buddy, there's some of kerry's spooge dripping down......or is it michael moore's?

For once, mahmoud said something reasonably intelligent! It IS time for America to wake up & fix herself........and we are waking up, more & more every day to the evil plague that calls itself islam. I have said in the past - there is no better friend in the world than The United States of America.........& NO MORE TERRIBLE ENEMY! The islamic portion of this planet has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it does not deserve our friendship, it deserves the full wrath of the USA.

Getting back from kj-bashing to the topic of internment, Instapudit.com points this out as one that looks like it would be worth a read:

Michele Malkin's In Defense of Internment: The Case for 'Racial Profiling' in WWII and the War on Terror.

BOB whines:

The same guy who collected one, and possibly two Purple Hearts on missions his boat crew members stated adamently that there was no enemy fire? The same guy who can't get more than 2 of his 23 fellow swift boat commanders to support him? The same guy who is a hero, with an honored place in the Vietnamese War Crime Museum for his part on their side of the war effort in Vietnam?

Gee, Bob... what did Bush do in Vietnam again? LOL. Nice conservative approach thou... especially the part about "on their side"... I guess the people that didn't want 59,000 names on that wall in DC are the ones that "hate the troops and love the commies" eh?

The end result is this: one candidate was ALL FOR the Vietnam War, but like many in his party, just couldn't serve. The other candidate was against the war, and did serve.

I like the way you carefully parse your words... is that what they teach of at the Limbaugh Insitute for Advanced Republican Studies (a.k.a. "LIARS")? While blasting Kerry for "faking" his "one, possibly two!" Purple Hearts, you "forgot" to mention him faking his Bronze Star.

And while "all but two of his commanders" have sided with the draft-dodging Dub and Dick, did you see all the guys that served under him show up for the convention? And how about that guy at the RNC who's life Kerry saved? Must be another bootlicking treehugging lib'rul, like most other Green Beret Combat Officers and retired Deputies from Nawth Carolina.

They guy who's Senate voting record was so out of whack that taking about hampster CPR was as close as he could come to personal acheivement in the past 20 years? The guy who is planning to run on the Jimmy Carter economic plan? Don't worry, kj, the truth will set him free.

Not at all like "they" guy that "ran" the state of Texas, a ceremonial post. And "ran" the Texas Rangers... and "ran" Arbusted Energy Corp. I sure would prefer a guy who's only acheivment in life has been to "sober up" at 40 y.o. and avoid serving time.

Maybe Kerry'll put us on the Bill Clinton economic plan, that created 22 million jobs and saw the stock market triple. Bob, if you're like me, you'll vote with your wallet.

Keep revising history, keithjoy.

Can you cite some examples? Or wait, I know: you don't have time. That's the L.I.A.R. studies way.

Gary: I'm glad you are back also, KJ.

Tired of LGF for a while. Thanks for having me.

Your rhetoric fits right in with the likes of Reza and Mahmoud.

That really means a lot coming from someone in the party who thinks abortion is murder, homosexuals should be punished, God hates everyone, God's Law should run our schools and courts, and that everyone else is going to hell. Sound familiar? It should... that's exactly what red-eyed jihadis like R and M say. Oh Gary, the company you keep... tsk.

Readers here Need to see what the Left has to offer us for the future:

Nothing.

Like we did in the nineties, eh? Nothing but 22 million new jobs, first budget surplus in decades, welfare reform, thwarting all terror attacks impending on 12-31 y2k.

Whereas the "Party God Likes" is going to outlaw abortion, outlaw sex ed, put the potheads ansd sissies in prison, and Dole in their Depends every time a black kid gets into college. And fire up the draft to send more kids to die in Iraq because "God" told Bush to attack.

btw, a prediction: Kerry's Negative bounce won't stay that way. I am willing to bet he gains some momentum in the next few weeks.

I have one for you too. If Kerry wins, you get to see another rep-con impeachment! Wouldn't that be fun? Come on, you know you'd love to see that again! Then they can start impeaching President Edwards.

If Dumbya wins "again" I will be happy. Because I KNOW that Hitlery will wipe her sweet, fine fanny with Jeb! in 2008.

Stick that one in your pipe and smoke it, KJ: I predict Kerry will manage to make it a close race.

I know you can't handle this simple truth (like so many others... that's why you're "conservative,) but I don't smoke anything. Nor do I drink alcohol or caffiene.

Oh! and have you learned the correct spelling of 'liberal' yet? Or are you sticking by the public school education that Teddy and Co. got for you?


Wow... I can't believe I actually have to explain this to you... what are you, like 13 years old? If I say Bush says Saddam's got new-Q-lur weapons, are you going to think that I can't spell "nuclear" too? What a dumbass.

So Teddy Kennedy (D-Chappaquiddick) invented the public school system? Wow... you must be a jenius.

So damn sorry I couldn't afford Bob Jones University... but it's just as well since I am a Jew and darkie-loving racemixer. Plus I majored in a natural science, and I don't think they offer that there, since the underlying premise for fairy-tale science is that the earth is only 6000 years old and all old rocks were "planted" by Satan to trick us into worshipping him.

Rikki....

I gave a longish response to you under the July 30 posting titled:

"American Islamic Leader to Plead Guilty in Libya Plot"

Best,

DC Watson sez:

Keith Joy, I've sided with you when no one else would, so watch what you say, you don't intimidate me...

WOW... since you intimidate me, I guess I'd better "watch what I say." Otherwise, you might just... um.


..Staunch Dem, do you have a shread of a clue who Kerry's skag of a wife's Tides Foundation donates money to?

Stauch Nazi, when you give away 50 million dollars a year, I guess it's possible that some might filter down anywhere, like those millions in "bail-out" money W got from the Bin Ladens back in the seventies. I guess you think that Teresa (aka "the new Hilary") is responsible for every penny in her 500 million dollar estate?

Do you have any idea, oh mysitcal advisor, who is defending the Saudis in a lawsuit brought by the victims and survivors of 911? He works for the Bush family; perhaps you've heard of James Baker. Oh, no big deal to you. After all, he has an "R" after his name.

You should research before you puke.....And by the way, if anyone here doesn't like what John Kerry says, wait an hour and it'll change.

Yeah, and he said he invented the internet too.

Gary-
Are you a married man now?

KJ-
Not everyone is happy to see you back. You have a good mind. Use it.

Peggy-
Tell me how the patriot act has affected you personally?

Big, tough, Jim sez:

If you insist on living with blinders on, that is your choice. But, rest assured, appeasement of these psychos has not, does not & will not work.

I have never said we should appease the Muslims, not ever. And I try to tell other liberals the same thing.

Hey KJ - wipe off your chin there buddy, there's some of kerry's spooge dripping down......or is it michael moore's?

Ooooh. That's telling me. Reeeal mature. I won't stoop to your level, but I certainly could if I chose to. I hope the rest of our anti-Jihadis appreciate my restraint. Now, are there any adults that want to debate?

Gary, you are sooooooo smart, perhaps you would be kind enough to rationally and calmy explain to me where the breach of logic is in something I've said. Please.

Degenerate Artist, I'm waiting for some benevolent conservative out there to prove me wrong.

Kj,

As I have always said your brain is rotted from all the dope you have been smoking with your mentor and idol, Michael Moore the fat America hating slob.

Futhermore, the "loser" that you are your small "liberal' brain could not come up with something original,as such you could only copy what I created.

Evidently Kj, you have been giving lip service to Michael Moore and the oxygen supply to your brain has been decreased.

Next time cum up for some air.

Just to set one record straight: I am not a Bush lover. I think sending jobs overseas is disgraceful. I also despise the Saudi Royal Family, I absolutely hate them. Our economy under George W. Bush is lousy. And, I don't feel that all of our tax dollars should be spent on ungrateful Muslims in another land, that will one day again be an enemy to us.

On the other hand, Kerry is not the solution. His voting record is well documented. I'll vote for the person I think will better slow the Muslim immigration into the U.S., and move toward choking out Islamists here.

So, what the hell do we do? Is it agreed by everyone here that Muslims are a problem to be dealt with sooner rather than later?

Is it agreed that both legal and illegal immigration needs to be slowed from a flow to a trickle? We are under assault in our own yard. So, what do we do? Personally, I feel that Muslims offer nothing positive to American culture. I want them gone. Since we can't put them on a one-winged plane or a leaky boat and send them back to the sandbox, we need to stop them from coming in. Will Kerry do that?

The Islamic community has infested us with expectations of special treatment, hiding behind their book from hell. They play with our laws and use them against us.... So, what in the hell do we do?

D.C. Watson:

You ask, "So what in the hell do we do?" I have pointed out many times that the cure for your cowardice and fear is simple. Stop warring against Almighty Allah (swt). Cease abusing and oppressing Muslims. Be part of the bright, shining Islamic future, not a forgotten part of the dim, dead past. Embrace Islam now and live in peace in submission to the commands of Almighty Allah (swt).

Your grandchildren will be Muslim.

Allahu akbar

See how stupid your "reasoning" sounds?

Raisin, I need no advice from a slithering ringworm like you. You are a pig, with opinions of no value. A little impotent slug with no morals or values of human life, as is evidenced by your faithfullness to the death cult of Islam.

Therefore, slime, where is your compassion for the poor souls in Sudan? I see no mention of that from you. I'd love nothing better than to apply a few pounds of pressure to your larynx.

Keith Joy, we've had the same thoughts on many issues here, but I'm no Nazi, so stop being a big, red bearded jackass. I don't care how much of her poor dead former husband's money this skag donates every year, it's her responsibility to know where the money's going.

Your defense is useless and carries no weight. She demanded time to speak at the DNC, and Kerry gave it to her because she runs the household. What would happen of Kerry won the White House?

I can't see this ugly, bobblehead faced scrunge making decisions for this nation's future. Hell, they all probably ordered John Edwards to address the crowd and say "Hey, and how about Teresa Heinz Kerry, isn't she fantastic?" right before he went out to speak at the DNC.......No, she's an attention grabbing elitest, that's what she is.

Ahhhhhhhh, how typical of keith. You won't stoop to that level? Really? So what, then, was your comment to DC Watson regarding him looking good in BROWN LIPSTICK referring to? I think perhaps the real reason that you can't stoop to that is because you are already far below it & looking up. You fancy yourself quite the intellectual debater, yet all you do is regurgitate sound-bites from michael moore, al franken & (wait - cue the heavenly choir of angels singing) the clintons. The clintons were absolutely the worst thing to ever happen to this country - bar none! Little billie's timing was impeccable regarding the economy - he took over from the first President Bush AFTER the economic recovery was well underway & he stood back & accepted all of the accolades for the results of someone else's work (namely Reagan & Bush). Then he left office soon AFTER the recession had ALREADY begun & left it in the current President's lap who has handled it despite tremendous adversity & we are now in a raging economic recovery, which you conveniently overlook. As for defense of this country, Clinton should have been tried for treason rather than impeached. The damage that he did set us back at least 50 years. Do not spew that crap about what a great job he did averting terrorist attacks. Through some good luck & the hard work of some American government employees who took their job seriously (unlike the clintons, jamie gorelick, madeleine albright, richard clarke, etc!!!!!!) attacks were indeed averted. But, how many attacks were successful during their tenure? How many deaths resulted from their blatant dereliction of duty in refusing to confront the problem? George Bush did NOT make a mistake in invading iraq. His mistake was made when he started listening to the communist-socialist America-hating left & their cacophonous self-flagellation & Stopped the attack! We should have kept going & taken care of iran & syria & saudi arabia &............etc.

As for me being a tough guy - gee, you figured that out all by yourself, huh? You mean I didn't have to tell you how tough I am? How tough I look? You mean I don't have to ACT LIKE YOU & regale everyone with tales of extreme bravery like staring at a group of muslim students at college? Or describe my mullet haircut? (well, actually, I really could NEVER say i have a mullet!)

Tough times never last..........Tough men do!

Kj,

My reasoning is quite sensible and my comments about you are accurate.

Would you like to talk about Kerry’s Bronze Star, Keithjoy? I was counting on you bring that up.

He managed to pull a guy out of the water while under fire. Kudos to him. He actually earned one of his medals.

But how about his Silver Star? Kerry twice beached him boat, directly violating a standing order and risked the lives of his men. He put the lives of his men to great risk for his own glory. He was dangerous, and his own men wanted him out of there before he got them killed.

To quote someone who was there:

John Kerry has long insisted that using the three-injury loophole to leave combat early was his own idea, but Kerry's fellow Swift officer Thomas Wright, who served on occasion as the OIC (Officer in Charge) of Kerry's boat group, contradicts that claim. Wright reports that he "had a lot of trouble getting Kerry to follow orders," and that those who worked with Kerry found him "oriented towards his personal, rather than unit goals and objectives." He therefore requested that Kerry be removed from his boat group. After John Kerry qualified for his third Purple Heart, Thomas Wright and two fellow officers informed him of the obscure regulation, and told him to go home. Wright concluded, "We knew how the system worked and we didn’t want him in Coastal Division 11."

“All the guys that served with Kerry?” You mean the one guy from New York? The other guys did not serve with Kerry, and many were not even from the same branch of the service. Nice try, though.

I once had a job for four months, and didn’t do it very well according to the other employees. Does that entitle me to run for President? I guess I’ll have to become a Democrat to find out. Of course, I’ll have to change my thinking.

I’ll have to decide that killing an innocent in the womb is perfectly fine, but that executing a serial killer is morally wrong. I’ll have to rewrite the constitution to make sure it says freedom from religion instead of freedom of religion. As a mater of fact, lets toss all current legal documents, since almost all were predicated on Judeo-Christian teachings. Just do what feels good, you dig?

I’ll have to decide that appeasing Europe is much more important than fighting for my own citizens. Even though I was fine with civil unions and legal rights for homosexual couples, I’ll go ahead and overturn 5,000 years of Judeo-Christian culture on a whim just to sew up that San Francisco vote. Who cares that the vast majority of the country is against it?

Yeah, being a liberal could be a lot of fun. If I could only learn to stop thinking…

D.C. Watson:

In five (5) short paragraphs, you hurled the following epithets at three different people:

slithering ringworm
pig
impotent slug
slime
red-bearded jackass
skag
ugly, bobblehead faced scrunge
attention grabbing elitist

That appears to be right in line with the intellectual level of most of the commenters here.

Your grandchildren will be Muslim.

Allahu akbar

D.C. Watson,

May I compliment you on your choice of words.

It's best to ignore the Islamo-fascist.

The "Muzzie" is only looking for a reaction.

Evidently this is the only gratification this Muslim-puke can get.

DC can at least manage to vary his language. This is something that is apparently very difficult for both liberal and Muslim minds.

kj:

It's liberal dogmatists like you that give the Democratic party a bad name in this country now.

If our military and the President based war on "hunches" I'd sure be the first person to demand impeachment, but I know that no such things happen, especially in light of the Vietnam War fiasco.

No, the truth is, whether you want to acknowlege it or not (you won't) -- is that the liberating of Iraq was the correct thing to do morally, it was overdue and it was necessary for the betterment of the United States on MULTIPLE fronts.

First and foremost, it removed Saddam Hussein and his two homocidal sons from power.

Secondly, it lured and continues to lure Al Qaeda and affiliated terrorists like moths to a flame so that our trained soldiers can kill them.

Third, it is now one less problem to worry about manifesting itself on a "border" when we are forced to deal with much more significant and EXISTING threats like North Korea, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran.

Fourth, it makes China less apt to "wander" into Taiwan knowing that we won't have Saddam's continued diversions to stretch out our forces.

Fifth, we are in the perfect strategic position to launch troops from REGIONAL bases into all sectors of the Middle East - including most importantly Iran, which is between the thumb and firstfinger of Iraq and Afghanistan.

You liberal tirades and insults upon other posters here may be something you are used to marginalizing people with, but I'll make you run back into the pits of Berklee where you have probelm arisen from.

This is a war for the future of the United States, in case you still do not get the big picture (you don't). Wars aren't perfect, they aren't clean and they sure as hell aren't always wrong, despite (or in SPITE of) what Noam Chomsky says and any other deluded little narcissists that happen to be running around calling the West the badguys in all this, over and over and over and over.

Cowardice is transparent.

Reza:

Oh, and as for the continuing "baiting" of our least favorite Muslim Brother on these forums, I am have this to say to you:

My grandchildren will not remember you or your cult.

Son of Infidel:

Four sentences, three (3) epithets:

Islamo-facist
Muzzie
Muslim-puke [sic]

And you people never tire of your rants about the supposed intellectual superiority of the West.

Your grandchildren will be Muslim.

Allahu akbar

That's "fascist"

Learn how to spell properly.

PS: you can ad these to your list,

Islamo-bastard
Islamo-bastards
Muslim-garbarge
Muslim-trash

Reza:

By all means, PLEASE keep you and yours out of our Western universities and colleges.

Where can I sign to state your "superior intellectual prowess" if that keeps you out of our countries?

Oh, don't like that idea? Well, then either way, it looks like you're the one in the middle of a lie and a losing proposition for your vaunted civilization.

Reza,

While I cannot speak for others, I will personally concede intellectual superiority when Islamic society makes a quantity of scientific, medical, or cultural contributions that is roughly comperable to their place in the world.

To the best of my knowledge, there are no modern aircraft developed from the ground up in Islamic countries, civilian or military. There are also no indigenous trucks, cars, or heavy equipment that I can find. I'm not sure about bicycles.

What is the last great work of literature, prose or poetry, published in the Islamic world? Who was the most recent great philosopher fro man Islamic country? What was the last great Islamic film (Hezbollah's showing of Farenheit 9/11 does not count)?

I'll give credit to when credit is due. So find something to be proud of that doesn't involve explosives, and I'll be happy to read it.

The problem is no the faith of Islam, but rather the people who yield power within the faith. The majority of people oth e faith are normal hard working citizens. Here is the problem.
1). You have a large population in the middle east of young men who have no vialable means to support or create a family.
2). Because of the rulers in power the keep the population uneducated.
3). The void is filled by the religiouse scholars who interpret the Quran to their own wishes.

Althought I am not one for violence I must note the greatest years of properity in the middle east is when they have been under the control of a empire (Autmon, British). Without the US or it's allies the honest truth is the people of the middle east woudl start fight with each other based on tribal bounderaies. This has been proven throught out history. What is the answer?
I don't know, perhaps allow Turkey to once again control the Saudi pensual and keep the people in line. Or simple have the US create an alternate fuel source and remove our presence from the middle east altogether. Then the people of Iraq,Iran, Saudi would come clammering back to the UN for atrocites that befall them. Note the current day Sudan,Algeria,Congo, Etc... Again it's not the the faith it's the people.


Islam has given something to the world, in the area of etymology:

"Suicide-bomber"

"Homocide-bomber"

More reasons to run like hell from Kerry...

Democratic Presidential nominee John Kerry’s newly appointed Middle East advisor, Martin Indyk, has been working for years to garner American support for Yasser Arafat and his terrorist regime. As the Middle East Advisor to the Clinton administration, Indyk managed to help Arafat wrest complete control over the Palestinian people through deceit and subterfuge. And now, if he gets his way, American troops may find themselves in the middle of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip-providing cover for Hamas and Palestinian Jihad.
Indyk has gone so far as to say that the U.S. should sent troops or create a protectorate over the West Bank and Gaza. Such a step would place the U.S. in a virtual state of war with the Israeli army, which has always viewed some of the West Bank and Gaza as vital to the security concerns of the state of Israel.

The source quote is an article from http://www.frontpagemag.com called Kerry's Arafat Yes-Man. Granted, FrontPageMag.Com is notoriously right wing site.

The fact remains that Kerry knows of Indyk's long record supporting what most consider a terrorist group (the PLO) and its terrorist leader (Arafat), and still chose him to be an official policy advisor.

So, not only do we have a Democratic candidate that would make the United States subservient to the United Nations, and explicitly states that he will not take preemptive action against terrorists, we now know that he has hired a terrorist sympathizer to be a member or his campaign.

I consider this a cause for worry, my friends.

"on" his campaign. Scared me so bad I couldn't type ;-)

What rez the Borg(swt) Master said,
“D.C. Watson:
You ask, "So what in the hell do we do?" I have pointed out many times that the cure for your cowardice and fear is simple. Stop warring against Almighty Allah (sob). Cease abusing and oppressing Muslims. Be part of the bright, shining Islamic future, not a forgotten part of the dim, dead past. Embrace Islam now and live in peace in submission to the commands of Almighty Allah (sob).
Your grandchildren will be Mussy dog haters.
Allahu akbutt”


Translated into English “Lay down your arms and come out with your hands up.”

“Your grandchildren will be Borg(swt) destroyers.”

Oh, Raisin.....I forgot one that describes you perfectly: Mountain Oyster

Chew on that tu petito fodero felita cagna.

What happened to Kj?

Wow... so much hate mail, so little time. I will try to answer each whiny little sh*t in turn, but may have to wait until tomorrow. Meanwhile, remember the conservative prayer:

"Oh Allah, please help me to hate the lib'ruls even more. Amen"

I think Kj and Reza would make a cute couple

Reza, does "Allah" permit pre-marital sex.

Kj,

Here is an other revelation about John Kerry and the Democratic Party.

Those "anti-terrorist" Democrats invited Jihad TV to the DNC.

If anyone is still undecided about which party should be in the White House, I hope this brings you to your senses.


The Democrats Embrace Al-Jazeera
By Thomas Ryan
FrontPageMagazine.com | July 30, 2004

Excerpts, the full article is at the website


"Despite Democratic Presidential Nominee John Kerry’s assertion that as President, he would “use every available resource to destroy terrorists and deny them sanctuary…and new recruits,” one of the invited guests at the now-concluded Democratic National Convention was an organization that has served as a terrorist recruitment tool, a communications conduit for al-Qaeda in general and Osama bin Laden in particular. This network has repeatedly described Palestinian suicide-bombers as “martyrs.” High above the platform and the sea of “Kerry-Edwards” placards, covering the convention from a skybox towering over the Fleet Center floor was Arabic network al-Jazeera, the Arab satellite news agency whose allegedly “factual and accurate” news coverage has been blatantly anti-American. The Democrats were at least savvy enough to remove the network’s banner, which had been strategically placed near the speakers’ podium. But how could any candidate or political party “serious” about terrorism make no fuss about allowing such a news group inside its convention?"

"The simple fact that al-Jazeera was embraced by the Democratic National Convention – and more importantly, that the feelings were mutual – speaks volumes about which party the terrorists and their partisans in the Arab media would rather see in power".


"This also sends a clear signal to terrorists. Although many have feared terrorists would strike one of this summer’s political conventions, the Democratic Party allowed Jihad TV, a network whose media roster occasionally includes terrorists, into a skybox overlooking the entire Fleet Center. From al-Jazeera’s coverage, the terrorists back home were able to see the party’s attack on the War on Terrorism, especially in Jimmy Carter and Al Sharpton’s demagogic remarks".


"John Kerry has said, “As president, I will not rest until I can look into the eyes of the American people who want a future of freedom and security, and say ‘We are as safe as we can be.’” It wasn’t only the eyes of the American people that Kerry has looked into, but also the lens of an al-Jazeera camera, a camera that has pervasively portrayed the United States as the evil antagonist, and global terrorists as the guiltless victims, but which has subsequently portrayed Kerry as a more agreeable figure than the current incumbent".


John Kerry and the Democratic Party failed this terror test.

Regarding the justification for the war in Iraq.

What is conveniently forgotten about this whole thing is that the First Gulf War ended with the signing of a CeaseFire Agreement between the Iraqi Gov't and the US Military wherein terms and conditions were agreed to in exchange for the cessation of military action.

Under ANY analysis, Saddam's failure to live up to said terms placed him in breach of the CeaseFire Agreement.

Once breached, the US Military was legally ENTITLED to the resumption of military action against the Iraqi Gov't without further ado.

The whole UN sideshow then eventually ensued was just that...

The US could have just as easily walked right into Kofi Annan's office, dropped a copy of the signed Cease Fire Agreement on his desk, walked out, and proceeded against Saddam forthwith.

Remember, a vote for the Frenchurian candidate is really a vote for all the liberal scum he surrounds himself with, because he has no mind of his own.

That's the Liberal-Moslim connection...no mind of their own!

'That really means a lot coming from someone in the party who thinks abortion is murder, homosexuals should be punished, God hates everyone, God's Law should run our schools and courts, and that everyone else is going to hell. Sound familiar? It should... that's exactly what red-eyed jihadis like R and M say. Oh Gary, the company you keep... tsk.' - KeithJoy

You know NOTHING OF ME, you worthless Fuck. Don't be putting things in my mouth that I have never said and will NEVER believe.

Your bastard buddy Kerry is going down. And if he doesn't, he will make sure the US sure as hell does.

Reza, is that you hiding behind the name KeithJoy? 'Cause you two are sounding Moore and Moore alike.

The clever Bob Owens asked: "What is the last great work of literature, prose or poetry, published in the Islamic world?"

WD raising hand enthusiastically in air while shouting "I know! I know!" It is:

"The 'Perfumed Garden of Sheik Nefzaoui' is one of the world's great classic works of erotic literature. Originally written in Arabic in 16th Century Tunis (modern day Tunisia) by Umar Ibn Muhammad el-Nafzawi, it is a manual on the erotic arts."

Here is Chapter 8

The Sundry Names Given to the Sexual Parts of Man

KNOW, O Vizir (to whom God be good!), that man's member bears different names, as:

El dekeur, the virile member
El fortass, the bald one
El kamera, the penis
Abou aïne, he with one eye
El aïr, the member for generation
El atsar, the pusher
El hamama, the pigeon
El dommar, the odd-headed
El teunnana, the tinkler
Abou rokba, the one with a neck
El heurmak, the indomitable
Abou quetaïa, the hairy one
El ahlil, the liberator
El besiss, the impudent one
El zeub, the verge
El mostahi, the shame-faced one
El hammache, the exciter
El nâsse, the sleeper
El bekkaï, the weeping one
El zodamme, the crowbar
El hezzaz, the rummager
El khiade, the tailor
El lezzaz, the unionist
Mochefi el relil, the extinguisher of passion
Abou lâaba, the expectorant
El fattache, the searcher
El khorrate, the turnabout
El hakkak, the rubber
El deukkak, the striker
El mourekhi, the flabby one
El âouame, the swimmer
El motelâ, the ransacker
El dekhal, the housebreaker
El mokcheuf the discoverer
El âouar, the one-eyed

As regards the names of kamera and dekeur, their meaning is plain. Dekeur is a word which signifies the male of all creatures, and is also used in the sense of `mention' and `memory'. When a man has met with an accident to his member, when it has been amputated, or has become weak, and he can, in consequence, no longer fulfil his conjugal duties, they say of him: `the member of such an one is dead'; which means: the remembrance of him will be lost, and his generation is cut off by the root. When he dies they will say, `His member has been cut off,' meaning, `His memory is departed from the world.'

The dekeur plays also an important part in dreams. The man who dreams that his member has been cut off is certain not to live long after that dream, for, as said above, it presages the loss of his memory and the extinction of his race.

I shall treat this subject more particularly in the explication of dreams. The teeth (senane) represent years (senine); if therefore a man sees in a dream a fine set of teeth, this is for him the sign of along life.

If he sees his nail (defeur) reversed or upside down, this is an indication that the victory (defeur) which he has gained over his enemies will change sides; and from a victor, he will become the vanquished; inversely, if he sees the nail of his enemy turned the wrong way, he can conclude that the victory which had been with his enemy will soon return to him.

The sight of a lily (sonsana) is the prognostication of a misfortune which will last a year (son, misfortune; sena, year).

The appearance of ostriches (nâmate) in dreams is of bad augury, because their name being formed of nâb and mate, signifies `news of death,' namely, peril.

To dream of a shield (henafa) means the coming on of all sorts of misfortune, for this word, by a change of letters, gives koul afa, `all bad luck.'

The sight of a fresh rose (ouarde) announces the arrival (ouroud) of a pleasure to make the heart tremble with joy; whilst a faded rose indicates deceitful news. It is the same with baldness of the temples, and similar things.

The jessamine (yasmine) is formed of yas, signifying deception, or the happening of a thing contrary to your wish, and mine, which means untruth. The man, then, who sees a jessamine in his dream is to conclude that the deception, yas, in the name yasmine, is an untruth, and will thus be assured of the success of his enterprise. However, the prognostications furnished by the jessamine have not the same character of certainty as those given by the rose. It differs, in fact, greatly from this latter flower, inasmuch as the slightest breath of wind will upset it.

The sight of a saucepan (beurma) announces the conclusion (anuberame) of affairs in which one is engaged. Abou Djahel (God's curse be upon him!) has added that such conclusion would take place during the night.

I just had to ask, didn't I?

Thanks, Dixie!

KJ,I must say you've been exceptionally mean today. That's alright, if you're anti-Jihad, then you're alright. However, both Republicans & Dems should be man or woman enough to admit that there are problems within their respective parties.

Fair enough? Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day for all of us because we ARE on the same side when it comes to these lousy, no good rotten Muslim bastards that want to rule the world, have no sense, and will be defeated. Even if it takes the 80 million gun owners in this nation to do it, done it will be.

'bastards that want to rule the world, have no sense, and will be defeated.' - DC

Sheesh. Substitute one word: Democrat. Sounds almost exactly the same. And will end with the same results: defeat.

btw, did Anyone hear Anything about Any kind of coservative group out trying to delay / foul up / do harm to police horses, at the Democratic convention?

Didn't think so.

I do think perhaps the closing of the Holland tunnel was a bit of a stretch. It suggests the date(s) of the potential attacks were closer than they may actually be.

REZA/OLD RAISIN/SULTANA

Think it is the Muslims that are oppressing us :TIME WE STARTED A JIHAD AGAINST THESE UNBELIEVERS WHO ARE POLLUTING OUR LANDS!Let us declare 'Holy War' against these accursed Unbelievers and drive them from our Sacred Soil. Crusaders are urged to bring dogs [those with loud barks preferable] to frighten these cowardly followers of their Pedophile Prophet and round them up ready for shipment to the Middle East.
All whining will be drowned by Heavy Metal Music with threats of more if muslims don't stay quiet...
Oh, demonic Muslims, of filthy habits and hairy orifices, you shall be driven out of America and all Western Lands.
CARRY ON CRUSADERS
SWIT SWOT SWAT
GOODBYE MOONBATS!

To Reza

Yes, we would love to see examples of the "superiority" of the Islamic world, but so far we have seen none.

Lets look at the September 11 attacks as an example. In order for the "muslim warriors" to attack us Infidels, they had to:

- Communicate with each other using Infidel created technology like the internet.

- Learn to fly by being taught by Infidels in Infidel created flight schools and training programs.

- Board Infidel owned airlines to get airborne.

- Fly Infidel designed and owned planes into Infidel designed and created buildings

If these islamic people were so superior, they would not need to use our knowledge, our skills and our equipment to attack us. The only thing that was used in the attacks that was of Islamic origin was the fuel in the airplanes, and even that was removed from the earth using the skills and resources of the Infidel. In a nutshell, without our skills and equipment your "muslim warriors" would not have been able to kill a flea, let alone thousands. Well ok, maybe they could have raped some helpless women like they do in Dafur.

The only things your islamic people have brought to the world is death and destruction, a legacy I am sure you are pride of. If it weren't for our need for oil, your people would still be living in tents in the desert, drinking milk from the udders of your flea infested camels.

We Infidels overtook your culture many centuries ago, and the only way you think you can catch up is to try destroy our cities so that they are just like yours, useless piles of dust and debris. In other words, since you cannot come up to our level, you want to drag us down to your backwards level.

Your pride over what you think your culture has achieved is indicative of your subjugated mind which is still stuck in the 7th century. Its easier to live in the past than to confront the present day realities of your sad existence. Whatever good that is in the Koran was COPIED from the Jewish and Christian holy texts, and the only original ideas that came from muslims like you are the ones of death and destruction that your cult.... sorry, I mean religion, espouses.

My children will never be muslims, they would sooner die than join a blood thirsty barbaric cult that was created by a delusional pedophile.

Morgane said "... and round them up ready for shipment to the Middle East."

May I suggest that we 'drop' ship them to the Middle East? From say.. several hundred feet?

There is NOTHING political about wanting to defend my nation and my culture from fascists hiding behind a cult.

For the record, I'm a registered Independent.

Kiss my hammer.

Stay safe, New York.
Stay safe, America.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Stand firm. But hit back if they hit you. Hit back. Really really hard.

Still nothing from WF KeithJoy?

I am seriously beginning to think he is Reza's other personality. Might explain why they never show up at the same time...

Someone above asked if I was married yet? Yepper! The pics are developing right now, and I shall send the links to Susan_b, if anyone wants to see them.

Americas Running Scared and u guys are falling for all this bullshit. The Roman Empire didnt last, The British empire lasted even shorter. America wake up and the coffee your time is nearly up.

And we're going to Stay that way for quite some time to come. See 'Kerry goes down in Flames' headline on Nov. 3rd of this year.

SonofMoses,

There was one little known attempted suicide attack on the World Trade Center prior to the 1993 attack using state-of-art Muslim transportation technology where Islamic militants crashed into the south tower.

In the 1988 attempt, one camel was severely injured and another was killed.

It was after this attack that Muslims figured their technologies were not sufficient to do the job, and they began researching infidel technologies.

Here is another little known fact: Rikki is a Transgendered Mutant freak a.k.a Chick with a dick. Maybe it's those hormones she/he/it takes that makes it impossible the freak to take other points of view. Hence my abscence of late. Because biggots like Rikki Bore me.

Radical Muslims are the true bigots.....Muslims will be thrashed, bashed, and trashed of we're hit again.

Muslims need to move out of the U.S., we don't like them. Not because of their skin color, or nationality, but because of their ignorance, illiteracy, and lack of regard for human life.

DC Watson

Illiteracy tell that to Muslims (people too you kinow) I sat my Masters with.

Ignorance; defination of :Jihad Watch and it's contributors such as yoyrself DC WATSON

Abe,

There are indeed Arab Muslims with college degrees bu they ae few and far between. That said, when you compare overall illiteracy rates between the Arab world and North America and Europe, Arabic culture is shown to be much more illiterate on average, by far.

Take for example the following Arab literacy rates:

Somalia: 24.1%
Sudan: 27.1%
Arghanistan: 29.4%
Pakistan: 34.8%
Oman: 37.5%
Yemen: 38.5%
Egypt: 48.4%
Morroco: 49.5%
Iran: 54.0%
Iraq: 58%
Syria: 67.5%
UAE: 80%
Saudi Arabia: 81.25%

Compare that to these sample literacy rates for North American and European countries:

Czech republic: 99.8%
United Kingdom: 99%
Canada: 99%
Poland: 98%
Belarus: 98%
United States: 97%

Even Central and South American countries such as Mexico (89.4%), Ecuador (90%), have higher literacy rates than Muslim countries.

Please quote your sources Mr Owens... 'd be interested to read them myself.

Provide my sources? Certainly, abe,

http://www.sil.org/lingualinks/literacy/prepareforaliteracyprogram/countrieswiththelowestratesofl.htm

provided a table that lists the 42 countries with the lowest literacy rates. I selected the arab countries from Somalia to Iran (as presented in order) from this list, which was drawn from the 1993 World Education Report put out by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization). I will admit that there is the possibility that these numbers are inaccurate. UNESCO allowed that these numbers are self reported, and may be higher than teh actual rate of literacy by as much as 50%.

For Iraq though Syria (as presented in order)I could not easily find them in the previous link, so I went to the US State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs at:

http://www.state.gov/p/nea/

Here is where I collected information on Iraq, Syria, UAE, and Saudi Arabia.

Interestingly enough, Saudi Arabia and Syria have radically different literacy rates between the sexes, as women are not treated equally.

In Saudi Arabia, men had a literacy of 84.7%, and women a dismal 77.8%. You would think that a country where foreigners do 35% of the work would have time to at least teach its citizens to read, but apparently that is not the case.

In Syria the discrepancy is even worse. With 98.7 percent of their entire population theretically obtaining six years of compulsary education, only 80% of men can read, and a pitiful 55% were literate.

All information for the Americas and Europe was also culled from the State Department at:

http://www.state.gov/countries/

In short, Mr Bushtoucher, you might have a Master's degree, but most of your countrymen can't spell it.

Abe,

I recall that you once stated that you reside in New York.
I am curious to know are an American citizen?
You are consistently defending the very people who wish to destory this country and then impose their barbaric and repressive ideology.

If you dispise the United States why are you here?

Son of Infidel,

As with so many of Abe's brothers in islam, he is here to facilitate the conversion of non-muslim land into muslim-land. And, if he is killed in the process then.. well.. his afterlife is secured..

Mahdi,

Abe's been fantasizing about the “alleged” 72 virgins waiting for him in paradise, when in reality he will wind up in Hell where 72 naked and stinky Michael Moore look-alikes are eagerly waiting to penetrate his anal cavity with a rusty bike fork.

You know, Abe, for having a Master's degree, your spelling sucks, Muslims worldwide boast a 62% illiteracy rate, and this figure was obtained by: Siraj Islam Mufti, Ph.D.....Learn to spell, genius. Did the US taxpayers pay for that degree you allegedly have? I say allegedly judging by your third grade spelling level.

Typo: that's "need"

Son of Infidel said: "... when in reality he [Abe]will wind up in Hell where 72 naked and stinky Michael Moore look-alikes are eagerly waiting to penetrate his anal cavity with a rusty bike fork."

If that is indeed the case, Abe will have found his paradise afterall..

Personally, I think it was another false identity for one of our other opposition posters...

Gary:

I use linguistic analysis to identify opposition posters with more than one identity, as you put it. Usually, no one believes me. The clues are always there.

For example, Reza is a woman. And old "Abe" may very well be Reza's alter-ego.
