And a wildly successful one indeed. No tiny minority of extremists here: the Islamic reformer Saad Eddin Ibrahim complains that 150,000 mosques in Egypt are against him. In the words of the Tunisian human rights activist Abu Khawla (Muhammad Bechri) in MEMRI, with thanks to Romy:
"The mosque (especially the Friday prayer sermon) is particularly used by Islamists to spread their message. [Egyptian progressive] Saadeddine Ibrahim recently lamented how he would face a propaganda machine that uses a network of 150,000 mosques in Egypt. In many countries, Fatwas issued by the Mullahs could be binding on social and political matters, and the religious authorities are granted wide powers for censorship of whatever they consider to be blasphemous...."
As Spencer would say, "Read it in full."
But I'd add a different forward for Naseem, whitequeen, crusadewatcher, et al:
Read it and weep.
Seams he left out the hate that is spued from the mosques in Europe and The USA??
Saw a guy on from saudi arabia and he went to Iraq to fight but got there and saw that the Islamic Terrorist were fighting the Poor Iraqi People and he didn't like that and went home??
He said that Al Gizzi was lieing??
Could this be a start in the war against Islamic Terrorist who would detrory the whole world if they could??

GOD BLESS THE USA AND ALL HER FIGHTING FORCES AND ALL WHO FIGHT WITH HER GIVE THEM STRENGTH, WISDOM, SIGHT, AND COURAGE TO STAY THE COURSE TO VCTORY TO DESTROY ALL ISLAMIC TERRORIST AND ALL WHO SUPPORT THEM OPEN THE WORLDS EYES TO THEIR EVIL AND GIVE THE WORLD COURAGE TO FIGHT THIS EVIL AMEN
"By these two accounts, Islamism is expected to be a very successful lie, indeed. Amir Taheri estimated the Islamist propaganda machine's bill to be about 100 billion dollars during the last two decades alone, which makes it the largest propaganda machine in history, even larger than the communist propaganda machine during the Soviet era. People wouldn't obviously spend that much unless they know they have to defend a huge lie.
And of course since mein kampf is the most widely read book in arab countries, that the bigger the lie and the louder the voice of the liar, the more it will be accepted by the masses.
And the weakness of our democracy:
'Freedom in the West Gave Islamist Terror Masters Ample Opportunities to Mount an Effective Propaganda Machine'
"Western countries have also been active in putting oil on [the] fire. Since the creation of the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt, Western democracies chose either to support the Islamists as a counterweight to communism or to adopt a neutral position. In all cases, freedom in the West gave Islamist terror masters ample opportunities to mount an effective propaganda machine.
"One would have hoped that 9/11 will change all that, but to no avail. The media dimension of the so-called 'global war on terror' consisted so far of an America counter-propaganda
indeed a 24k article from memri.
'Only Arab/Muslim Secular Forces Can Effectively Undermine Islamism'
"To be sure, only Arab/Muslim secular forces can effectively undermine Islamism. As the recent Iranian example clearly shows, attempts to portray modernists as Western stooges will be futile. At the end of the day, truth will always prevail. But so far these forces are kept on the sidelines. In a recent op-ed article, U.S. defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld explained well the need to wage 'a war of ideas.' That may mean there is still hope in sanity. But until that happens, America and the West will be kidding themselves if they believe that the current military campaign alone will lead them anywhere close to their objective of uprooting Islamist terror."
The west is paralysed by its inability to defend itself.
ISLAMIC IMPERIALISM MUST BE DESTROYED FROM WITHIN.
Muslims don't know when to keep their mouths shut,in an attempt to deny Islam has caused a rise in Europes antisemitism,the posting attack the Jews for controling the media so Bush can spread his Islamophobia.
Here's the link and by all means send emails
to the addresses at the bottom of the article,I'd loce to give my opinion but Dr.Elmasry at the CIC calls the Police when he gets a email that's perceived "Hostile" and a vague death threat.
The site is in Canada and emails get traced for the purpose of prosecution as a hate-crime.

When I see a documentary about the Nazi's of WWII on PBS ( they seem to run at least one a week ) I am struck by how similar the tactics and situation was then to now in the global jihad. The islamist adapted the same " we are being persecuted " line all the while attacking everything in reach. And the " jews this and jews that " is a sheer pleadgelism, it is so similar.
