At least in the short term. Ask Zapatero. He'll tell you.
From the BBC, with thanks to Mike:
Militants in Iraq have freed French reporters Georges Malbrunot and Christian Chesnot, who were taken hostage on 20 August. The French foreign ministry confirmed an Arabic TV report that the two men had been set free and said they would return to France on Wednesday.They were abducted while driving to the city of Najaf and appeared on a video released in October by their captors.
Their captors said they had been freed because of France's anti-war stance.
And pays and pays and pays and pays...
So what? Are the islamic terrorists supposed to be thanked now for their profound kindness for not cutting off the reporters heads? Are we supposed to acknowledge French leaders as being intelligent diplomats?
The terrorists should still be brought to justice on kidnapping charges which should put them in prison for life. Is France pursuing these terrorist kidnappers? Does France seek justice for the two reporters hellish ordeal of months in captivity by these criminals? No, look at the French officials, breathing a sigh of relief and saying something stupid like "what a wonderful gift". They should grow a spine and demand justice and go after those responsible or at least help support countries that do. So sad to see a once great country cowing down and being so timid. What a shame.
Would the dhimmitized French citizens care one way or another if these 2 reporters were killed. If they were killed, they would probably blame it on the US.
This is a no win for the French. The terrorists can always take more French hostages and will no doubt do so as soon as they want something from France. France will cave in and submit to whatever the terrorists demand.
The French are being manipulated and will pay later. Does anyone still vacation in France? They might as well just tour Pakistan on their next European vacation.
Today in the Canadian News a article reports that the Government in Ontario Canada are looking at allowing Sharia-Law for Female Muslims during Family disputes.
Here's the link,and now there's talk of three other Provinces being pressured to do the same.
http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2004/12/20/sharia-boyd041220.html
All Christians should be offended that the French had the nerve to call the journalists' release a "Christmas present." What sacrilege!
The French need to start practicing thanking allah, the most merciful, compassionate, blah, blah, blah...
Iran has 37tons of yellow cake which can make 5 nukes and because of a loop hole with the Europeans[France & Germany] they can make their bombs??

UFO Sighting
What we can learn from a ‘70s cult TV classic.
By John A. Barnes
UFO, the ‘70s cult science-fiction TV classic produced by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson (Captain Scarlett, The Thunderbirds) has just been issued in a boxed DVD set. Not having seen many of the episodes since they were first broadcast on U.S. television in the early 1970s, I have made certain to whisper this important fact to my wife in order to pass on to Santa Claus.
For those who recall the series only vaguely (or not at all), UFO was set in the early 1980s and followed the adventures of the men and women of SHADO (Supreme Headquarters Alien Defense Organization). Organized after it became apparent that Earth was being visited by space aliens whose purposes were unknown but definitely not friendly, SHADO was headquartered in a subterranean bunker located beneath a London film studio. A forward base had been established on the moon, from which interceptor spacecraft could be launched at incoming UFOs detected by satellites orbiting the Earth. To deal with alien craft that penetrated this first line of defense, SHADO could deploy an array of hardware that included a fleet of submarines equipped with an aircraft that could detach itself from the bow and streak through the ocean depths and into the sky. For alien craft that manage to land on Earth, tank-like land-based vehicles could be dispatched to the scene.
The show’s motivating question — If the Earth were under attack by a strange and hostile force that appears uninterested in compromise or peaceful negotiations, how exactly would humanity defend itself? — is one of the most plausible in the history of SciFi TV. It has exceptional resonance today, given its startling similarity to the current war on Islamist terrorism in which we find ourselves.
The central figure of UFO is SHADO’s chief, Commander Ed Straker, played by the extremely talented actor Ed Bishop, who never really got the kind of roles that would have enabled him to become a star. Straker is a career military officer who “connects the dots” between seemingly unrelated events and concludes that only aliens from outer space could be responsible. Putting his career on the line, he battles disbelief and tightfisted politicians to create SHADO, a process that consumes nearly ten years.
On the surface, it seems hard to understand why UFO did not succeed. (It lasted only a single season, 1970-71.) In addition to lots of cool gadgets and special effects, its timing seemed impeccable, having been released just as the world was being engulfed by a mania about UFOs and mysterious space visitors (Chariots of the Gods, the Bermuda Triangle, etc.). So why didn’t it find a larger audience?
Simply put, UFO was too realistic. SHADO knew next to nothing about the enemy it was fighting. Who the aliens were, where they were from, and what they wanted remained matters for speculation. Almost every bit of information SHADO managed to acquire about them seemed to lead to more questions than answers. Many of the stories featured downbeat, ambiguous endings. And every now and then, the aliens would thwart SHADO. The series was, dramatically speaking, unsatisfying to a mass audience.
Then there was the problem of Straker himself. To put it mildly, he did not suffer fools gladly, which made him one of the most unusual lead characters in television history. While he was capable of kicking back in his office with his sidekick, Alec Freeman (George Sewall), and while he could (very occasionally) crack a smile, Ed Straker was most of the time a tightly wound spring. His job was to kill (or, if possible, capture) the aliens before they could do harm to any human, and that was that.
In short, Straker was no Captain James T. Kirk, a heroic figure who managed to answer all the audience’s questions and tie up all the loose ends with a witty quip before the final credits. Rather, Straker had a serious edge to him. Under the pressure of his job, we see his marriage collapse. Faced with a captured alien who refuses to talk, he doesn’t hesitate to order that a dangerous, experimental drug be used to break down his resistance, an effort that ends in the alien’s death. He even orders the destruction of an alien space ship he knows is carrying his friend, a top SHADO officer, back to the aliens’ home planet. To Straker, individuals mean nothing. All that matters is stopping the aliens.
Ed Straker certainly would have been a frightening man to work for, which is probably why the mass of TV viewers found him a frightening man to watch. His kind of single-minded determination was in short supply in the 1970s, which may explain why the series appealed to people of a conservative sensibility.
In real life, however, we sure could use someone like Ed Straker for the new post of national intelligence director. Fiction is now fact: We are up against a ruthless, determined foe bent on doing us harm and about whom we know rather little. Porter Goss seems to be making a good start at the CIA, lopping off a few heads and shaking things up a bit, but its not clear that he is in Straker territory yet.
If a real-life Ed Straker is out there, now is his time.

In that case WHY kill Margaret Hassan who had Iraqi citizenship, converted to Islam and spent 30 yrs caring for Iraqis!! Bet the French paid a big fat reward for getting their journalists back
- forget the rest. Italians did too although don't why they bothered, girls seemed to have enjoyed themselves. Another interesting point is WHY do we NEVER hear anything about their experiences... A Canadian Iraqi woman who was taken hostage was beaten and tortured before she managed to escape. She wasn't reticent about what had happened : it was the Media who ignored her.
The French have no honor. This is their reward for doing what their arab masters command. The article tells it all.
I hate to say it, but the French really do seem to have a culture of capitulation, and they're proud of it! Perhaps the world won't lose anything valuable afterall, once France is totally swallowed up by islam?
FG You beat me to it any-way thanks,I was thinking the same.
Catherine stop it with the 20 page sermons from the freaking Koran
Catheriine [mah],The main tactic to brainwash some body is to repeat the same thing over and over,and this works better with people with low IQ,and this is the tactic which is used by the
clerics and imams.They start the proscess of brainwashing kids when they are 3years old so by the time they are six,many of them can recite the quoran,thus stunting the developement of their
inteligence.Muslims are aroused from there sleep at 3,30 in the morning every day of the week every week of the year so as the indoctrination I believe that most of the posters on this site are already well versed about the quoran,and have on average a higher IQ level than most muslins,and do not need to go through this process Any-body that is new to this site and does not have much knowledge of the Quoran will soon find out.
Personally I enjoyed Nassems rants,she suceeded in what she set out to do,and that was to provocate,as you know there where a few exchanges between Nassem and myself,and I had to do some researching so as to answer some of her replies,from this I learn quite a lot.No doudt there are many posters who now today do the same as me and sroll through your postings as ASAP,because it is very tedious to keep going the same thing time and time again,so if you want people to take note of what you have to say,then better to cut this quoranic crap and get to point.The way you are all the time blah,blah these evil verses of the quoran,and how often you advocate he use of guns is convincing me that you are a troll
As a part of the Global Race,I do not have a high opinion of the American Tribe concept,when I think of what the American Tribe done to the peoples and land that you invaded.The creation of America was achieved by full scale genocide,and countless war crimes,before the American Tribe arrived how many buffalo [food] roamed the lands you now occuppy
Maybe,Just maybe there are people who see the evils of the Tribe of America,and the Tribe of Europe,and are not afraid to fight evil with evil [Islam],The real war is not against Islam,but the evil Morons which we find everywhere amongst us.Our real enemy are the ones who bring us into the situation of war.And the American tribe has more than their fair share of war criminals,And here is awarning I have done my home work,I HATE ISLAM.but,I HATE EVIL EVEN MORE.
So catherine,how about giving me a silver half moom to go with the gold star
Zapatero was elected not because he "surrendered" to terrorists, but because his opponent lied openly in order to avoid the obvious that Spain had been targetted only because of it's involvement in an illegal war which has killed upwards of a hundred thousand civilians.
As for the implication that France somehow "submitted" to terrorists. I think that this reflective of the jealousy and hatred in the author's heart that those who didn't support "his" group didn't suffer for not doing so.
why do cockerels dont want to go to heaven
be cause they dont like being woken up to early in the mornings by the call to pray
Chiraq will take credit and pride for this "diplomatic masterpiece".
He will probably tell the world "see,i told you our approach towards muslims works,and if the rest of you want to LIVE in peace and prosperity,just follow France`s example".
I personally believe when God threw the devil out of heaven (with the extinction of dinosaurs & the Big Bang Theory) he landed in England. And maybe some of us got tired of following Moses around the desert and weren’t afraid to cross the big waters or afraid of giants. American Indio has lived with religious oppression for over 500 years. Three hundred years of ethnic cleansing and 200 years of colonial industrialism. Yet, our tribes still survive and have our sovereign ways. If you’d take a 24 hour day and compare with the life of our planet earth–man would only arrived the last 15 seconds before midnight. If one day is 1000 years to God, then what is so big about suicide bombing and sneaking up on people killing them in ones own life time. It would harder to work to care for one another in the coming days of global warming than to kill one self never knowing. And I want to know God! So… Lest any man boast!
“He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still.”
Revelations Chapter 22:11
Let the Creator Judge who should live and who should die~! These Americans are trying to bring peace for you Arabs/Jews & Palestinians but some of you cant even keep from killing yourselves to accept it! So much for the morals of the Koran no wonder there is no love for unbelievers. Merry Christmas for our Archangels do battle on sacred ground for who goes in the name of our Lord~!
And I want to know the truth?
Right on Nathan!
Buy Aussie wines, you'll never look back...
Shiva, turn it down, just a bit...
they may be bastards, but they are still our bastards, remember?
And Catherine: Pleeeze:
No more squirrel hunters, no more 20 page gaga, Yes Yes Yes:America forever!!!
I support the troops, I support our masters,
JuJUSJUST TURN IT DOWWWNN!
O.T. but a good read,
We have 2 new members to the site and the e-mail sign up.
The first is "Iceviking" and the second is "Boma".
When Boma first contacted me, he told me his story of living in a European country and the problems they have there.
I have edited some parts out, but I'd like to share his story and please, welcome the 2 new members.
Susan;
I believe this is your real name so I use that.
For a long time I have been reading Jihad/Dhimmi Watch and never before have I seen so many with the same views as I regarding Muslims coming together in the same place.
I am not a good writer so I usually just read but I am becoming more and more curious about my fellow soul mates on the list.
Let me therefore introduce myself:
When I post on the list I am using the name ?boma?
I am a xxxxxxx, born and lived as protestant, and come from a family consisting mostly of civil servants and military men since the time begun. As a curiosity I can mention one of the family members, Oscar, fought under general Sherman during the American civil war and ended as brigadier and commander of the 17th Army Engineers. They called him ?The Brave Devil?.
I live in a small town in xxxxxx called xxxxxxxx, which is about 100 miles from xxxxxxxx. Besides my military experiences (I have seen Congo, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia first hand) I have degrees in economics and both construction and electronics engineering. Waiting for my pension (I am 63 years old) I am now working as a xxxxxxx.
My experience with Muslims is first hand. I married a girl from Kosovo for about 10 years ago and I am therefore the proud father of a 9-year-old boy.
As a convert my wife got hell from the family but they lived so far away that they did not became a threat. But the Muslims even in this small town reacted with hostility. I, as the Satan that has led one of their faiths astray, was threatened with everything up to murder and that still continues.
The Police asked me to return when something has really happened and some days after my first complaint I was called up by the xxxxxx (the xxxxxx equivalent to FBI) who asked if I could provoke a little extra as one was suspected to be the one who had sent a letter bomb killing a woman in xxxxxxx earlier that year.
So the last 10 years I have constantly been looking over my shoulder and open my mail with extreme care, as it never ceased. The pressure on my wife was too much so our marriage broke. She will however never go back to Islam and nowadays she calls herself Buddhist.
I was not the one who declared war on the Islamists; it was the other way around. But I am prepared to fight them with all means; with word or with weapon in hand, they chose the means.
In xxxxxxx there is a distinction between the dhimmi government and the people. The government has not yet understood what the people understood many years ago that Islam is a threat to us all. xxxxxx in general are slow to react but when the reaction comes they will be unstoppable. Ever heard of the Vikings?
My work and my boy takes a toll out of me so I may not answer your mail directly as I get them but I will answer. Hope to hear from you.
xxxxx xxxxxxxxx
And tonight, I recieved this in answer to my request to post his story:
Susan;
Thanks for your answer.
Of course you can publish my letter on the conditions mentioned.
I understand that you are full aware of the threats and I think neither
you
or I will benefit from a closer encounter especially from unidenfied
adversaries.
For some years I have had the thought that leaving the country with my
boy
would be the best solution but then comes the question where to and how
to
obtain a decent living.
When it comes to Jihad Watch I follow the postings as they confirm that
I am
not totally paranoid - my reality differs so much from what ordinary
ignorant people find normal.
If you would be interested in further communications with me you are
welcome
although I might be a little late with my answers.
xxxxxx
I will stay in touch and offer any support I can.
Susan
Well Mr. Shiva, you may have "done your homework", but from the appearance of your *one-sided* rants concerning the history of the world in the last few hundred years, you don't seem "intellectually eclectic and mentally nimble enough to reach conclusions outside the parameters of neatly defined ideological biases that too often skew scholarly interpretations".
OT,
This was just sent in by Suzi,
It gave me chills and made me want to throw up.
Half way down the page, read the stories of female mutilation.
http://www.middle-east-info.org/gateway/womenchildabuse/index.htm
Shukri, as you can see, if anyone opposes The Mighty W, he is a dhimmi, plain and simple. It doesn't matter that the French have 3,000 troops in Afghanistan fighting the REAL war on terror, the only thing that matters is whether they are 100% in lock-step with the RNC (in the USA, whether they have an (R) or a (D) after their name). Any deviation, no matter how slight means that the deviant is a satanic and/or multicultural and/or dhimmi and/or hates America and/or loves Saddam-bin-Laden.
You are 100% correct about Zapatero. The Madrid blast happened, and RIGHT AWAY they tried to blame the "left-wing" Basque Separatist (Terrorist) Movement, a.k.a. the ETA. People (usually) don't like to be lied to, so they voted the right-wingers out. And for the next 10 months, we heard again and again (even here on occasion) that Spain is full of dhimmis, that voting left-wing makes you a dhimmi-traitor-coward-lowlife-satanist-etc.
The reason is that politics trumps terrorism, just like it trumps religion. Politics trumps everything.
Just see how Nathan calls the French "people" [quotations his] and in fact, "spineless remnants of "people"". This despite the fact that France has 3,000 troops in Afghanistan (compared to Americas 12,000 or so.)
Hey dhummis, keep hoping and praying that France goes to the Muslims. Remember, France has nukes.
Now, this is for Hugh and the rest of the more-even-keel commenters. You have said on many occasions that 1-in-3 babies born in France today is Muslim. What percentage of them are citizens? I understand that a lot of them aren't citizens and could be deported at the drop of a hat. Are the children of non-citizens automatically granted citizenship like here in America? (Goddam, I hope not.) Please, Mr. Fitzgerald, kindly address this point if not here on this comments section, then in your next essay about the matter.
Mother Mary and Joseph.... that link by Susan_B is heartstopping. I have added to my "favorites" section and will use it in the future when trying to deal with other liberals that think "Islam is just another religion."
Where is the FGM, stoning, etc. occuring anywhere in the world except where there are Muslims? Where is the Jewish, Hindu, Christian, or Buddhist equivalent of stoning, FGM, brainwashing, head slashing, etc?
Goddam I'm glad my daughters are living in a culture where they are free.
Thank you Susan_B for the necessary horror. Everyone, please check it out and save it as a favorite for reference to anyone trying to say that Israel, Iraq, etc. is the most evil thing going on today.
Shukri, you are wrong, Aznar hasn´t said that only was ETA, the problem is ETA have tried to kill people in trains three months ago from 3/11, in addition several days ago a car plenty of explosives with two etarras, were caught in Cuenca, these etarras have fought against USA in Iraq in Ramadi and Baqubah and in addition they have the plannings of the same train lines that the terrorist act.
Zapatero said to several mass media in Spain that there was suicides in trains, there weren´t, militants socialists demonstrated against the governamental party PP, the reflexion day and this was forbidden, and the Interior Minister Acebes said all the news that the police say in the terrorist act, he didn´t lie, the lier was Zapatero
In sum up, if the terrorist act was islamic and was for the iraq war, why now there are islamic detainned if Spain was out of Iraq, it doesn´t have any sense.
The thing is, Franze, Aznar and Co kept saying that it was ETA even after it was very clear from the intelligence services that it was definitely not ETA. He lied in order to avoid having this appear as a repercussion for Spain's prominent role in the Iraqi invading forces and this was why he lost so prominently. Especially because the Iraq war was already extremely unpopular amongst the Spanish people.
And as for suspected terrorists still being arrested. These mostly seem to be the people alleged to be involved in the 3/11 attacks as well as those planning attacks in Morocco.
The upshot is that there seems to be no imminent threat of attack in Spain now that they have withdrawn from the Iraqi occupying force. Though perhaps, Spanish troops as part of the ISAF force in Afghanistan might become a motive for future attacks.
Ned Humphrey, Managing Editor of The Taipan Group, an American financial advisory firm, sends me the above lines in his daily newsletter. Despite its thorough out-of-context nature (not quite, the author seems to hint) or perhaps because of it, I take satisfaction in sharing its content with you all.
Please note that as a European I couldn´t agree more with what Ned says, his vision of Europe’s grim future included.
Ned’s words:
“Dear Friend,
Last week I talked about the murder of Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh by a radical Islamist… and the lack of outcry it occasioned here in the US. Of course, reactions in Europe and especially in Holland have been much different.
The atrocity has forced one of the greatest taboos in Europe out of dark discussions around the beer table at the back of the pub and into the spotlight of public discussion. That is, the question of how to assimilate millions of mostly Muslim immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East into largely post-Christian, more or less tolerant Western European society.
The reason this has been a taboo is that up to and even following the events of 9/11 in the US, the prevailing opinion in Europe was that “it can’t happen here.” European officials have spent decades cozying up to anti-democratic régimes like those in Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria to protect their oil supplies. Not to mention coddling the Palestinians and Arafat and looking the other way when EU and UN largesse went missing into the latter’s personal accounts in Switzerland or ended up funding terrorist attacks in Israel.
So European leaders of almost all stripes frowned upon those who questioned the burgeoning Muslim ghettos in the banlieues of Paris or the Vorstädte of Frankfurt. It was left to clearly racist and nationalist demagogues like Jean-Marie Le Pen in France and Gerhard Frey in Germany to raise issues that should have been discussed in the broader democratic forum. Instead, a comfortable myth was promulgated, that of the multicultural European paradise where everybody would just get along.
Trouble is, no one troubled to answer the age-old question: How do you deal tolerantly with people who would use your tolerance to put an end to tolerance? What to do with Islamist preachers like Britain’s own Abu Hamza al-Masri, the one-eyed, hooked-handed veteran of Afghanistan who now sits in an English jail on charges of incitement to murder? While he awaits trial, he and his family take advantage of roughly £1,200 (US$2,334) in welfare payments per week. And the British taxpayer just shelled out an extra £5,000 for a new hook for his missing hand. This for a man who has been quoted as saying, 'One day the black flag of Islam will be flying over Downing Street.'
Abu Hamza was born in Egypt, but later acquired British citizenship. Well and good. But is there not at least an unwritten contract between a voluntary citizen and his new country that would make it unacceptable to work for the demise of the latter’s social order? And if there is, shouldn’t there be a way to send those who break that trust swiftly back to whatever land they came from?
Such questions as these used to be left to the skinheads and their nationalist puppeteers, people whose motivation is not the good of the country so much as their own struggle for power, using visceral, atavistic racism as a means to that end.
But Islam, not to mention radical Islamist doctrine, is not a race. Being “Islamophobic” (as I and most others who dare to raise such questions have sooner or later found ourselves labeled) does not mean one hates brown people, or people of any other color, for that matter. If it means anything, it is simply to question the ideology behind movements that are already here among us, targeting for death those who disagree with them. Like Theo van Gogh.
Now, the question of ensuring that our tolerance does not work its own destruction by overlooking those who have no tolerance for us has been pulled out of the dank cellars of the Front National into the light of day, where Europe will have to deal with it one way or the other - or face far worse problems in the not-too-distant future.
Thanks to all who wrote in to comment on last week’s article, whether pro or con. To those who suggested that an economic newsletter has no business commenting on such things, allow me to say that you can decide that for yourselves - when you get your own newsletter. To me, it seems plain that such questions - and their answers - will inevitably have a far-reaching effect on economies the world over.
Cordially,
Ned Humphrey”
PS.- Does any of you American JW’ers work at the USCIS, the Citizenship and Immigration Service, at a level where he can give me a helping hand when the inevitable arrives and I decide to move up to the land of ‘liberty within reason’and leave behind that despicable Zapatero who has disgraced my country and will finally destroy it ?
Franze,
You are wasting your time trying to reason with the ones who through their leftish leanings are playing it into the hands of the islamist bastards. It is no the time for words with these traitors but of action. If you think the situation is not so desperate yet, do speak to them but forget not to keep the ammunition at hand

Half way down the page, read the stories of female mutilation.
1)For the record Aznar´s rightwingers did NOT lie nor did they withold any information from the media.
2)Terrorist coups on a 3-11 scale have been averted in the last couple of months.
3)Stop gratifying your ego discussing other people´s misfortunes.
4)And get a life. I mean YOU.

I say don't listen to shiva, Catherine, and just keep doing what you do. If Shiva doesn't like the Qur'an quotes then let shiva ignore them.
Look shiva if you don't want to read what Catherine has to say then don't read it. Just don't go around telling people with "a high opinion" what to do like the "clerics and imams". This site does not operate under Shari'ah. People are free to post as they like.
You may not like what she post here but I do and so do many others. In fact me and others have asked her to post "freaking Koran" verse and other materials and this is one of the reasons why she is doing this.
I have read the Qur'an and have come across many of the Hadith quotes as well but I still enjoy reading them again and be reminded of them. Also this is a great help to those who might be new to this place, as you yourself acknowledged. It is also a good referencing practice to bring up the relevant quotes straight out the source when discussing something.
So just ignore shiva this time Catherine.
shiva sounds here just like shiva's namesake the Hindu "god" (I put god in quotes because its not strictly correct to call Shiva a god. Read about it at the link below.) of terrorism who murders and behead the innocent. Shiva is the "god" of destruction, "the destroyer" just like Allah whose name is also Al-Jabbar: The Compeller (yeah right no comuplsion in religion, some translate al-Jabbar as the oppressor) and Al-Mudhill: The Humiliator. (No wonder they want to humiliate the Dhimmis)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva
"Shiva also married Sati, daughter of Daksha, who forbade the marriage. Sati disobeyed her father and Daksha held a Yajna (ritual sacrifice) to Vishnu, but did not invite Shiva. In disgust, Sati sacrificed herself in the same fire Daksha used in his sacrifice. Shiva arrived at the scene, angry at the death of his wife, and killed many of the guests, as well as decapitating Daksha, though he later replaced his head with that of a goat."
"He acquired his head due to the actions of Shiva, who decapitated him because Ganesha refused to allow him to enter the house while Parvati was bathing. Shiva had to give him the new head to placate his wife. In another version, Parvati showed the child off to Shiva, whose face burned his head to ashes, which Brahma told Shiva to replace with the first head he could find, an elephant."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linga
Lingam or Linga is the Sanskrit word for mark. As well as being used as a symbol for the worship of the Hindu God Shiva, the term is also used for a representation of the male sexual organ.
http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/s/shiva.asp
Shiva is identified with the fierce Vedic god Rudra and, in his terrible aspect, is the god of destruction and cosmic dissolution. He is commonly worshiped in the form of the lingam, or symbolic phallus.

You may not like what she post here but I do and so do many others. In fact me and others have asked her to post "freaking Koran" verse and other materials and this is one of the reasons why she is doing this.
I have read the Qur'an and have come across many of the Hadith quotes as well but I still enjoy reading them again and be reminded of them. Also this is a great help to those who might be new to this place, as you yourself acknowledged. It is also a good referencing practice to bring up the relevant quotes straight out the source when discussing something.
So just ignore shiva this time Catherine.
shiva sounds here just like shiva's namesake the Hindu "god" (I put god in quotes because its not strictly correct to call Shiva a god. Read about it at the link below.) of terrorism who murders and behead the innocent. Shiva is the "god" of destruction, "the destroyer" just like Allah whose name is also Al-Jabbar: The Compeller (yeah right no comuplsion in religion, some translate al-Jabbar as the oppressor) and Al-Mudhill: The Humiliator. (No wonder they want to humiliate the Dhimmis)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiva
"Shiva also married Sati, daughter of Daksha, who forbade the marriage. Sati disobeyed her father and Daksha held a Yajna (ritual sacrifice) to Vishnu, but did not invite Shiva. In disgust, Sati sacrificed herself in the same fire Daksha used in his sacrifice. Shiva arrived at the scene, angry at the death of his wife, and killed many of the guests, as well as decapitating Daksha, though he later replaced his head with that of a goat."
"He acquired his head due to the actions of Shiva, who decapitated him because Ganesha refused to allow him to enter the house while Parvati was bathing. Shiva had to give him the new head to placate his wife. In another version, Parvati showed the child off to Shiva, whose face burned his head to ashes, which Brahma told Shiva to replace with the first head he could find, an elephant."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linga
Lingam or Linga is the Sanskrit word for mark. As well as being used as a symbol for the worship of the Hindu God Shiva, the term is also used for a representation of the male sexual organ.

Shiva is identified with the fierce Vedic god Rudra and, in his terrible aspect, is the god of destruction and cosmic dissolution. He is commonly worshiped in the form of the lingam, or symbolic phallus.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-3, 8 & 11
1. To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
2. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
3. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
8. A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
11. He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

You made the same mistake as naseem ,you googled Shiva then settled for the first thing you hit on
Be kind. Be compassionate. Be honest. Be sincere. Be truthful. Be bold. Be pure. Be wise. Be virtuous. Enquire: 'who am I'? Know thy-Self and be free. This is the summary of the teachings of Shiva/Siva
Siva, a Slavic goddess. Her name means "living, being, existing." She is is also known as Siwa, pronounced "sheeva" in modern Polish; she was worshipped in Poland, Czechoslavakia, East Germany. Also known as Russian Zhiva/Z'iva, Polabi Zhywie and Slovak Zivena. Even other forms of her name are Sivve, Shiwa, Sieba, Syeba, Siba and Dsiva . With regards to the etymology of her name, “some scholars associate the name with Dlugosz’s Zywye, others with the Indian SHIWA, [sic] god of life, still others with SIVA, 'grey'”.
Shiva, "Auspicious" Hindu god; third member of the Hindu triad with Brahma and Vishnu. He is aso known as Ardhanarishvara, "Androgynous Lord", who is half-Shiva, half-female/half-shakti.
Shiva is known to have many forms,one of which is Nataraj,the king of dance.It is in this form that
Shiva/Nataraja crushes Apasmara Purusha [read Naseem]the demon of igorance,by dancing all over him.
I have read the Qur'an and have come across many of the Hadith quotes as well but I still enjoy reading them again and be reminded of them.You enjoy quotes that justifies every thing an informed christian should despise,and your troops are getting killed over.
If Shiva doesn't like the Qur'an quotes then let shiva ignore them.WELL I do not like one single
quote from the Quoran,but I am not stupid to ignore it
