Hair-pulling stupidity and ignorance from the State Department. From "'Real Men Moisturize'" by Mona Charen at Townhall, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
"Real Men Moisturize." So begins an article on "Sharp Dressed Men" that appeared in a State Department funded magazine aimed at youth in the Arab world. The magazine, called "Hi" is published in Arabic and English. A State Department website explains that Hi is published "with the hope of building bridges of greater understanding among our cultures."The article continues: "In fact, some of them, like Michael Gustman, a 25-year-old public relations account executive from Boca Raton, Fla., even have separate moisturizers for the face and body. Facial pores can clog with too heavy a salve, it seems. Not long ago, these and other habits would have been considered odd for a male. Gustman exfoliates. He gets manicures. He gets pedicures. He gets facials. He gets his hair done every two weeks. He accessorizes. He puts effort into getting ready for a date. He loves cooking complex dishes. He's a refined, evolved, sensitive guy. In a word, he's a metrosexual."
The photo accompanying the story pictures the male author seated in a pedicure chair, pants rolled up to his knees, along with half a dozen women enjoying the same treatment. (The women's faces aren't visible, but we can guess that they look puzzled or possibly even repelled.)
First things first. Is this what the U.S. State Department thinks America is really like? How many men, outside a tiny subset in major cities, are the primping, feminized "metrosexuals" the article lauds? Not many. You cannot enhance understanding between one people and another by presenting a false version of one side.
But more importantly, is this the way to "build bridges" between the Arab world and ourselves? Does the State Department believe that Arab males -- some of whom do not permit their wives and daughters to go out in public without a male family member as escort, others of whom think nothing of killing a daughter who dishonors the family by fraternizing with a boy -- are going to be impressed with a vision of America in which males are feminized "exfoliated," smooth-skinned eunuchs?
The State Department is apparently so delighted with the Hi Magazine approach that they are translating it for use around the world.
"We realized that most of the articles in Hi were suitable for youth anywhere in the world," said Christopher Datta, the director of special projects at the State Department's International Information Programs." A State Department website quotes a Hi Magazine contributor enthusing, "This is now everybody's world." Oh? What was it before?
Read it all.
Now, if I were a right-wing conspiracy theorist like for instance E.Michael Jones, I would say that the big brains in our elite have faith in the "metrosexual" project because it has already succeeded in our society; because these all more or less sexually based fashions and escapism have deliberately been designed by the elite to demolish the traditional human personality which they wish to replace with their own programmed future choice. As I am not however, I would just suggest that someone high up in Foggy Bottom had a relative who wanted a career in magazine publishing and was not making it as well as he or she hoped, and so used taxpayer dollars to improve his/her CV. The project will no doubt fail, but it will serve a few people to become known in the periodicals industry.
Hi?
Lo!
Foggy Bottom digs deeper.
I'd be a lot happier if the impression being given out by the State Departments flacks and hacks were an article not on facial care but something like:
"ALLIGATOR WRESTLING CAN BE FUN!"
Todd Clark, a part Seminole-part Scottish/Dutch regular guy likes to get down and dirty on the weekends. And a little muddy. And sometimes even a bit bloody. Why? Because Todd makes a few extra bucks, outside of his Monday through Friday software development job at a prominent Florida electronic firm, 'wrasslin' gators'.
"Yes, Todd is am alligator wrangler for his cousin's new company "CROCS R US", amd his job is to be 'on call' 24 hours a day, to go out and find, rope, subdue, and relocate ornery 7 and 8 foot long toothsome reptiles. The ones that stray from their swamps in the Floridian wilderness and find their ways into backyard pools, golf courses and even very surprised outdoor bridal showers. Ouch!"
And give the fey folks in the Middle East a clue about the real character of Americans.
We like trouble. And don;t mind getting up to our waist in gators to clean up Dodge.
Enough with this sissifying silliness.
Who decided that this journalistic tack would endear us to anyone but lonely Turkish prison guards?
BA-HAHAAHAA!!! This is hilarious. Well, the do-gooders really have it all figured out now. Yes, State Department will forward the liberal metrosexual agenda to the Arab world and defeat terrorism with pedicures and facials!!
BA-HAHAHAAAHAAA!!! I LOVE THIS!!
OK, I see it now:
"Muhammed, where did you get that beautuful french manicure? You look positively scrumptious. And those strawberry highlites! OH..to die for. I would blow up a school bus full of Jews to have hair like yours."
"Well, thank you, Abu. You know, have I told you you have deliciously, soft skin. I must know who exfoliates your pores! The profit Himself, blessed be he, would stab his own mother in the throat to have such supple hands and face."
"Oh, you. You know, I'm not gay, but I must say the way that tushy of yours looks since you started tai chi...well, let's just say I would strangle my wife and daughter, then pound their dead bodies with a hammer, just to pinch those sexy buns of yours."
Perhaps they could then make a movie called, "Do-Gooders Gone Wild!! Scenes of well intended but horribly naiive people getting attacked by the very same moslems they helped free from prison."
Should we "Ask the Imam?" What do you recommend O wise one?
Or lets ask Ia. He assured us on a post last month that he dresses well and attracts much female attention for his pains.
Ia, lad, Do you recommend Oil of Olay, or Ponds Cold Cream?
"A State Department website explains that Hi is published 'with the hope of building bridges of greater understanding among our cultures.'"
-- from the article above
Ossas of stupidity piled on Pelions of absurdity. We are dealing with primitive people in thrall to a belief-system that teaches them to hate us, whatever we do or do not do, however we present ourselves or fail to present ourselves, because we are not Muslims -- we are Infidels. And the State Department seems to believe that the unguents with which some among us choose to adorn their flesh is just the sort of thing that Arab Muslmis need to learn about (of course, those preparing for a suicide mission against Infidels are careful to shave their bodies and then perfume them before they slaughter Infidels -- is that what someone had confusedly in mind, when thinking that this would be just the ticket to "build bridges of greater understanding among our cultures"?
No, if this magazine is not to be a farce or an advertising supplement for Barney's, or the kind of thing one might find in privates-on-parade Provincetown, then the State Department is going to have to do better than that.
How's this for a bright idea -- sober reflections on the various parts of the First Amendment, on the nature of federalism, on the distrust of power (and hence that federalism, as well as the separation of powers and checks and balances) that was central to the Founding Fathers's political genius. How about that?
Oh, but Muslims and Arabs don't care about that, and we want to give them what they want, don't we? They want to find out how the with-it young male lives. Well, that's not the job of the State Department. That's the job, such as it is, of the odious men's magazines, on health and cigars and wine and fast cars and what Tom Cruise or Richard Gere or George Clooney in his Lago di Como retreat at Laglio are up to these days.
Once upon a time, poor foreigners came to the United States for political inspiration. Jose Figueres of Costa Rica used to tell students about his own experiences, working at a menial job, and meanwhile, reading the American Constitution, and Lincoln's Second Inaugural, and Wilson's Fourteen Points. That is the only thing we should be offering -- what it is that makes the American system tick, not exercises in lifestyles and how to pick up girls (or, judging by some of this stuff, boys).
Spare us this use of taxpayers' money. And spare us the whole idiotic enterprise of "getting to know each other." The real problem is not what they know about us, because they know One Big Thing -- we are Infidels. End of story. The problem is getting enough people in the Western world -- and especially, it would seem, in our ludicrously ill-informed State Department (at least in all those parts dealing with Islam and the Arabs), that needs to read, and study, Qur'an, Hadith, and Sira, with the appropriate notes and commentaries, and then to begin to study the history of Muslim subjugation of non-Muslims, beginning with the works of Bat Ye'or on dhimmis and dhimmitude. The hostility in Islam to free expression -- to statuary and to paintings of living things, and to music, and even to humor ("There is no place for humor in Islam" Khomeini famously wrote), and to free and skeptical inquiry, thus limiting severly the possiblities of art and science -- now there's something Infidels need to know about. How Islam stunts mental growth -- there's something Infidels need to know about.
Or are there advertisements in this wretched magazine, and do we now have to worry that Bijan and Barney's and Ralph Lauren will pull their copy, and for obvious reasons, Absolut Vodka will not rush in to take their place?
Clean shirt, new shoes
And I don't know where I am goin' to.
Silk suit, black tie,
I don't need a reason why.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Gold watch, diamond ring,
I ain't missin' a single thing.
And cufflinks, stick pin,
When I step out I'm gonna do you in.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Top coat, top hat,
I don't worry coz my wallet's fat.
Black shades, white gloves,
Lookin' sharp and lookin' for love.
They come runnin' just as fast as they can
Coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man.
Good stuff!
"Islam's Love-Hate Relationship with Homosexuality"
http://www.frontpagemag.com/articles/Printable.asp?ID=5704
The above article is an interesting glimpse into the peculiar schizophrenia of the Muslim mind.
It may be that the metrosexual teasers of the "Hi" magazine may actually appeal to half of the schizophrenic Muslim mind -- but will only arouse the hatred of the other half.
That is in fact how the Muslim mind assimilates the modern West in general: through its prism of love/hate schizophrenia -- because the human part of the Muslim (buried under a mountain of inhuman rules and psychological propaganda) loves life and material pleasures, but the inhuman part of the Muslim hates the West for so powerfully reaching inside him to tempt him with the pleasures and comforts of this life.
(Of course, this isn't the only reason the Muslim hates the modern West, but it is an often ignored psychological aspect, I think.)
metaxy, and all,
Does anyone have know whether this "homosexual sex" is ok but "homosexual love" practice going on in the Arab world today?
If this is so then the worlds awarness of needs to be raised. This should be talked about and exposed. This is evil with a big E.
Any Arab men reading this feel like commenting?
f.g.

f.g.
The only explaination is I smoked so much pot when I was young I lost my mind .This doesnt make a like of sense.
"Nasser, your new fragrance is just intoxicating! I wish to come closer to you now and smell your freshly waxed body. Please, tell me the name of your new scent now, or may Allah strike your entire family dead."
"Well, Yassir, thank you. I went to 'Queer Eye for the Brave Martyr Guy', and they showed me this sassy new cologne from faberge. By the way, your eyebrows are perfectly penciled Yassir. I wish to make mine so sharpley pointed like yours, but I never can do it as good as you. Tell me about how you make your eyebrows or I'll castrate your camel and stuff his testes down your granfathers throat."
"First, let's do lunch with the boys. I know this wonderful fat free cafe we can get organic carrot juice and talk about killing Jews with our nail files and tweazers just like we saw on Achnad Winfrey!"
Luckily, no one anywhere in the world, believes a thing our government publishes (and for good reason). Now, if Newsweek published an article about exfoliating metrosexuals.....
Well! I am just so-oh breathless. As soon as I convert to Islam you can call me--anytime, boys--Miss Shahadah-laine.
Till then I remain,
Ugly and Nasty.
f.g.
It appears, from what that article says, that male Muslim culture assimilates homosexual behavior in much the same way in which otherwise macho homophobes cultivate a kind of schizophrenic homosexual sex life (integrating humiliation, pecking orders, extortion and rape) in our prison system.
"Or lets ask Ia. He assured us on a post last month that he dresses well and attracts much female attention for his pains.
Ia, lad, Do you recommend Oil of Olay, or Ponds Cold Cream?"
Neither, I don’t really use any creams. However I recommend loving God and following the Sunnats of his beloved servants. The Prophets of God have taught us many lessons, enough for us to live pleasant and satisfying lives. The Prophet Muhammad for example taught us to take care of our appearance, dress nicely, use perfume, make sure you're looking great, looking like a billion bucks.
a billion bucks aye?
It used to be a million dollars, how inflation has struck.
"Ibrahim, you have such full pouty lips. I would drown a village of babies in blood to have lips like yours."
"Oh, Mustafa, you make me blush. Well, I had cologen injections last month and my pucker is so juicy I just want to kiss myself! It was expensive, but when I blow myself up in a classroom full of Jewish children I want to be sexy for the 72 virgins in heaven."
"Well you look so hot I know they'll find you irresistable. Now I must leave you, Ibrahim, because it is time for me to have my hair colored and then go shopping for shoes. I saw this incredible pair of olive penny loafers that the Prophet himself, blessed be he, would use to beat pregnant Jewish woman to death. I must have them."
This strikes me as the funniest thread yet.
Grannie, the key 'saint' figure in Sunni islam is Rasullallah - among his more bizarre supposed characteristics (that he threw no shadow, and that he could control the movements of the moon) are that he never perspired, always looked "beautiful" (O! beautiful beautiful!) and always smelled like perfume. This are Sunni points of theology. I kid you not. Hence Ia's interest in perfume, which is intensely bizarre (not cologne??).
I would note that all these points taken in toto about Rasullallah are intensely suggestive and more than a little disturbing from a Judeo-Christian perspective...
Geoff
There's a boy across the river with a bottom like a peach
But alas,
I cannot swim.
Old Afghan song called The Wounded Heart.
What do you think he uses Geoff? Brut? Splash it on all over?
KT, you did not answer my question, once again:
kt, you said this:
'You simply cannot turn a blind eye to your own shortcomings and demand that others clean up their own yards. The West has doen its share to perpetuate and worsen the radcial movement we see in the Islamic world. '
Ok, fine. But we started cleaning up that mess Centuries ago. But Look at all the wars between Christian factions after Luther came along. The radicals who are hijacking the religion are the ones who are making things bad for the moderates of islam, not those of us who wish to protect the rest of the world from it. Must we go thru all that (Reformation wars) again with islam, and with far worse weaponry?
Just as Muslims recoiled in horror when shown a photo of Britanny Spears after liberation in Afghanistan (or Iraq), this ridiculous scenario will surely set off the rage of the mullahs, showing the "shallowness" of Western values. We are in deep trouble if the State Department can think of nothing better than this to convince Middle Easterners that our culture is worthy of consideration.
'a billion bucks aye?
It used to be a million dollars, how inflation has struck.'
My mistake. *_*

Meded Ya RasulAllah!!!
Our beloved Nabi is not a key 'saint figure', he is the king of kings to us. No one is more beautiful than my beloved Muhammad, he is the apple of my eye. He didn't throw a shadow because he was made of nur, there was only one Muhammad.
He did perspire:
His perspiration “shone like pearls.” His body was also fragrant. Anas “never smelt musk or ambergris and found its fragrance as sweet as the fragrance of Allah’s Messenger” (5760). His mother collected the Prophet’s sweat in a bottle. She told Muhammad: “That is your sweat which we mix in our perfume and it becomes the most fragrant perfume” (5761).
I use perfume when I pray and celebrate the greatness of God, Muslims use many different types of perfume, the Prophet Muhammad preferred Rose perfumes, that too is my favourite, the smell is so sweet, beautiful yet so subtle. I use cologne as well.
Description of the Holy Prophet's Features
Allah Almighty and Exalted adorned the Prophet with His Divine Lights and Manners, and then He added more by saying to him: "Truly you are of a magnificient nature" [68:4].
The Prophet was neither tall nor short, but he was of middle height. He had broad shoulders. His color was light, neither dark nor white. He had a broad forehead, with heavy eyebrows, not connected but with a blaze shining like silver in the middle of them. His eyes were large. His teeth were very white, like pearls. His hair was not curly nor was it straight, but in between. His neck was long. His chest was broad, without much flesh. The color of his chest was light, and between his sternum and his navel was a line of hair. He had no hair on his chest other than that line. His shoulders were wide and had hair on them. On his shoulders were two seals of Prophecy. All his Companions used to look at them. The right shoulder had a black beauty mark, and around it were some small hairs, like the hairs of a horse. His forearms were large. His wrists were long. His fingers were also long. His palm was smoother than silk.
Whenever he put his hand on the head of a child or a man, the beautiful scent of musk came from it. Wherever he moved, a cloud moved with him that shaded him from the heat of the sun. His sweat was like white pearls, and its smell was like amber and musk. The Companions said they had never seen anything like it before.
The Holy Prophet used to look down more than he raised his head. Whoever saw him from afar was amazed by him and whoever knew him intimately loved him. He was most handsome both in his external appearance and his internal appearance.
Amr ibn al-`As said, "No one was dearer to me than the Holy Prophet nor was anyone more glorious than him in my eyes. So bright was his glory that I could not look at his face for any length of time, so that if I were asked to describe him I would not be able to as I had not looked at him long enough."
The Prophet was the bravest among people, the most just and the most generous. He used to walk alone among his enemies at night without a guard. He was never afraid of anything in this world. He was the most modest of his person, the most sincere, and the most pious. He never spoke just to spend time. He preferred silence to speech and never showed pride, although he was the most eloquent speaker.
Allah gave the Prophet mastery in politics and mastery in private conduct. Although he didn't write or read, Allah raised him from the land of ignorance, taught him the best of manners and the best of ethics.
He was the gentlest of men, the most tolerant, the most merciful, as Allah Himself called him "Kindest and Most Merciful" [9:128]. He smiled at everyone and joked with everyone in a decent way. Alone he was always crying and entreating Allah for forgiveness for his Ummah. He was always contemplating and meditating. He always used to sit to remember Allah by reciting Dhikr.
He used to walk with the widow and orphan. He showed humbleness to unbelievers, wishing them to become believers. Someone asked him "pray for Allah to curse the unbelievers." He said, "I was not sent to curse but as a Mercy. I will ask for them to be guided because they don't know."
He called everyone to Allah. He never humiliated the poor. He was never afraid of a king. He always chose the easy way, according to Allah's wish [2:185, 20:2]. He laughed without making a sound, not out loud. He always said, "serve your people." He used to milk his goats, serve his family, patch clothes, walk sometimes barefooted, visit the sick, even if they were unbelievers or hypocrites, visiting the graves of believers and greeting them, training with the sword, learning the bow and arrow, riding the horse, riding the camel, riding the donkey. He used to eat with the poor and wretched. He always accepted a gift graciously, even if it was a spoonful of yogurt, and he used to reward it. He never ate from sadaqa (charity), but immediately passed it on to the poor. He never kept one dinar or one dirham in his house except he gave it to the poor. He never came home until he spent all that Allah had given him.
He was very good to his family and to his friends. He urged his friends to walk in front of him and walked behind them. He said, "leave my back for angels." His companionship was the companionship of patience and shyness. Whoever argued with him saw patience from him, and he did not reply to those who insulted him. He never came against anyone in anger nor ever used bad language. He was never angry for himself and was only angry for his Lord's sake. He used to eat with his servants. He never slapped anyone with his hand. He never punished for a mistake, but always forgave. His servant Anas ( ) said, "In all my life, he never asked me once: why did you do this, or why didn't you do that?"
"He [Mohammed] urged his friends to walk in front of him and walked behind them."
Perhaps because he didn't want them to stab him in the back...
Read it and weep: http://www.palestine-info.net/english/publish/article_12542.shtml
"Who will rid me of Asma Marwan?"
said the most just, the most generous,
the kindest and most merciful prophet.
And now mobots kill the artists
and intellectuals as the man
who was the pattern for all men commanded
for it is not a sin against his evil twin.
Yes, Scaramouche. It is to weep. It is more than to weep that NATO is giving the Palestinians, of all people, observer status!
Melanie Phillips has written very articulately on her website (MelaniePhillips.com) this matter:
The breaching of NATO's defences
The most significant proximate cause of global terrorism is the way in which, instead of acknowledging Palestinian terrorists as a threat to the civilised order and dealing with them appropriately, the world treated Yassir Arafat instead as a nascent statesman, invited him to address the UN and thus began the descent of international relations into the hell of moral equivalence which blew up in its face on 9/11. Now we read in the Jerusalem Post that NATO is granting observer status to the Palestinians:
'"This is a very important decision as for many years European countries have only heard the Israeli voice in these groupings. For peace to become a reality and agreements to be fully implemented, we need to be able to tell our side of the story too," said Hassan Khreisheh, the first deputy speaker of the Palestinian body and one of the two Palestinian delegates.'
Let us pinch ourselves.
NATO, which describes itself as an organisation representing democratic states of Europe and North America, is the principal defence structure for the free world against tyranny, terror and war. The Palestinians are a despotic, undemocratic grouping which promotes a religious war against Israel, a democracy, through terror. Their founding covenant commits them to the destruction of Israel. They have been told to put their house in order and have so far failed and even refused to do so. Far from destroying the infrastructure of terror, they are taking Hamas terrorists into their administration. As Efraim Karsh has noted, the Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas -- the man greeted so warmly by President Bush last week -- marked Israel Independence Day by describing the proclamation of the state of Israel in 1948 as
'an unprecedented historic crime and vowed his unwavering refusal to ever "accept this injustice." "On that day, a crime was committed against a people, who were uprooted from their land and whose existence was destroyed and who were forced to flee to all areas of the world," he said. "The refugees have a full right to fulfill the right of return. We strongly object to the possibility they would become citizens of the countries they live in." Abbas's remarks came as Palestinians commemorated the nakba by staging rallies and demonstrations throughout the West Bank and Gaza to demand the right of return for all refugees to their original homes inside Israel. Accompanied by a virulent anti-Israel media campaign, the events reached their peak at midday, when sirens were sounded throughout the Palestinian controlled territories and people observed a minute of silence to mourn Israel's creation. In some areas, gunmen opened fire into the air as a sign of mourning.'
Abbas runs a regime whose officially approved Palestinian Authority preacher, Sheikh Ibrahim Mudeiris, said on officially approved PA TV on May 13:
'We have ruled the world before, and by Allah, the day will come when we will rule the entire world again. The day will come when we will rule America. The day will come when we will rule Britain and the entire world – except for the Jews. The Jews will not enjoy a life of tranquility under our rule, because they are treacherous by nature, as they have been throughout history. The day will come when everything will be relieved of the Jews - even the stones and trees which were harmed by them. Listen to the Prophet Muhammad, who tells you about the evil end that awaits Jews. The stones and trees will want the Muslims to finish off every Jew.'
What are Tony Blair and President Bush doing in allowing NATO to give such people observer status? How can a despotic body that promotes ethnic cleansing, terror and religious war possibly be given observer status on the defence organisation of the free world? How can we possibly take seriously the Bush doctrine when first the President says what he did to Abbas (see post below) and then sits back while NATO further rewards terror in this way? What price now the defence of the west?

Your prophet.
Tabari IX:69 “Killing disbelievers is a small matter to us.”
Tabari VIII:141 “The battle cry of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah that night was: ‘Kill! Kill! Kill!’”
Bukhari:V5B59N512 “The Prophet had their men killed, their woman and children taken captive.”
Ishaq:489 “Do the bastards think that we are not their equal in fighting? We are men who think that there is no shame in killing.”
Qur’an 2:191 “And kill them wherever you find and catch them. Drive them out from where they have turned you out; for Al-Fitnah (polytheism, disbelief, oppression) is worse than slaughter.”
Qur’an 33:60 “Truly, if the Hypocrites stir up sedition, if the agitators in the City do not desist, We shall urge you to go against them and set you over them. Then they will not be able to stay as your neighbors for any length of time. They shall have a curse on them. Whenever they are found, they shall be seized and slain without mercy—a fierce slaughter—murdered, a horrible murdering.”
Bukhari:V4B52N270 “Allah’s Messenger said, ‘Who is ready to kill Ashraf? He has said injurious things about Allah and His Apostle.’ Maslama got up saying, ‘Would you like me to kill him?’ The Prophet proclaimed, ‘Yes.’ Maslama said, ‘Then allow me to lie so that I will be able to deceive him.’ Muhammad said, ‘You may do so.’”
Ishaq:368 “Ka’b’s body was left prostrate [humbled in submission]. After his fall, all of the Nadir Jews were brought low. Sword in hand we cut him down. By Muhammad’s order we were sent secretly by night. Brother killing brother. We lured him to his death with guile [cunning or deviousness]. Traveling by night, bold as lions, we went into his home. We made him taste death with our deadly swords. We sought victory for the religion of the Prophet.”
Tabari VII:97/Ishaq:368 “We carried Ka’b’s head and brought it to Muhammad during the night. We saluted him as he stood praying and told him that we had slain Allah’s enemy. When he came out to us we cast Ashraf’s head before his feet. The Prophet praised Allah that the poet had been assassinated and complimented us on the good work we had done in Allah’s Cause. Our attack upon Allah’s enemy cast terror among the Jews, and there was no Jew in Medina who did not fear for his life.’”
Tabari VII:97 “The morning after the murder of Ashraf, the Prophet declared, ‘Kill any Jew who falls under your power.’”
Ishaq:369 “Thereupon Mas’ud leapt upon Sunayna, one of the Jewish merchants with whom his family had social and commercial relations and killed him. The Muslim’s brother complained, saying, ‘Why did you kill him? You have much fat in you belly from his charity.’ Mas’ud answered, ‘By Allah, had Muhammad ordered me to murder you, my brother, I would have cut off your head.’ Wherein the brother said, ‘Any religion that can bring you to this is indeed wonderful!’ And he accepted Islam.”
Bukhari:V1B1N6 “Just issue orders to kill every Jew in the country.”
Ishaq: 676 “‘You obey a stranger who encourages you to murder for booty. You are greedy men. Is there no honor among you?’ Upon hearing those lines Muhammad said, ‘Will no one rid me of this woman?’ Umayr, a zealous Muslim, decided to execute the Prophet’s wishes. That very night he crept into the writer’s home while she lay sleeping surrounded by her young children. There was one at her breast. Umayr removed the suckling babe and then plunged his sword into the poet. The next morning in the mosque, Muhammad, who was aware of the assassination, said, ‘You have helped Allah and His Apostle.’ Umayr said. ‘She had five sons; should I feel guilty?’ ‘No,’ the Prophet answered. ‘Killing her was as meaningless as two goats butting heads.’”
Bukhari:V1B11N626 “The Prophet said, ‘No prayer is harder for the hypocrites than the Fajr. If they knew the reward they would come to (the mosque) even if they had to crawl. I decided to order a man to lead the prayer and then take a flame to burn all those who had not left their houses for the prayer, burning them alive inside their homes.’”
Tabari VIII:178/Ishaq:550 “Muhammad ordered that certain men should be assassinated even if they were found behind the curtains of the Ka’aba. Among them was Abdallah bin Sa’d [the Qur’an’s one and only scribe]. The reason that Allah’s Messenger ordered that he should be slain was because he had become a Muslim and used to write down Qur’an Revelation. Then he apostatized [rejected Islam].”
Tabari VIII:179 “Abdallah bin Sa’d fled to Uthman, his brother, who after hiding him, finally surrendered him to the Prophet. Uthman asked for clemency. Muhammad did not respond, remaining silent for a long time. Muhammad explained, ‘By Allah, I kept silent so that one of you might go up to him and cut off his head!’ One of the Ansar said, ‘Why didn’t you give me a sign?’ Allah’s Apostle replied, ‘A prophet does not kill by pointing.’”
There is more....
More...
Qur’an 5:33 “The punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Prophet and make mischief in the land, is to murder them, crucify them, or cut off a hand and foot on opposite sides...their doom is dreadful. They will not escape the fire, suffering constantly.”
Tabari VIII:122/Ishaq:515 “The Prophet gave orders concerning Kinanah to Zubayr, saying, ‘Torture him until you root out and extract what he has. So Zubayr kindled a fire on Kinanah’s chest, twirling it with his firestick until Kinanah was near death. Then the Messenger gave him to Maslamah, who beheaded him.”
Bukhari:V4B54N487 “The Prophet said, ‘The Hell Fire is 69 times hotter than ordinary worldly fires.’ So someone said, ‘Allah’s Apostle, wouldn’t this ordinary fire have been sufficient to torture the unbelievers?’”
Bukhari:V4B52N260 “Ali burnt some [former Muslims alive] and this news reached Ibn Abbas, who said, ‘Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, “Don’t punish with Allah’s Punishment.” No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, “If a Muslim discards his Islamic religion, kill him.”’”
Yep, he's a hell of a guy!
Carolyn,
Of course you were quoting "inauthentic" Hadiths and were using a bad translation of the Koran, or taking those quotes out of context... or so ia will say.
"Mufti, your teeth are so white. I would stab your mother through the heart with a sword if I could have such white teeth."
"Oh, Anwhar, you dazzle me with compliments. I had my teeth bleached after my mudbath."
"Fantastic, so what are you doing tonight Mufti?"
"Well, I will be perfuming myself in the mirror in an hour, then I thought we'd have a night of brushing each others hair. Maybe after we'll rape an infidel girl and then behead an Israeli sympathizer?"
"You are just too much, Mufti. I can't wait until we are martyred and paint each other's nails in Jihad heaven. Perhaps we'll do each other's virgins after we're all pampered and pretty?"
"That's a deal, Anwhar. May your children all become martyrs exploding busloads of Jews, praise be Allah."
This thread is so funny I'm at a loss for words.
but I will say this about that..."Dont bogart the moisturizer, my friend, pass it over to Me".
If I moisturize myself enough, maybe I can get a date...
Ia, Saladin, lying- desert-Moe-fan:
'Prophit Mo'es fragrance:
'Moonlight madness', 'goat humper-wax', 'camel-stench extract'-
Someone asked Aisha and she said 'the guy stank real bad'...
Anyway: It's true that OBL instructed Mohammed Atta to 'shave all his body hair'- before flying into the WTC. I'm sure he wrapped his pecker well for the 72 virgins...
Here comes the 'shoe-bomber' by Ssheik Yer-mami:

moslem humor!
Why did the moslem cross the road?
-To blow up a kosher chicken.
How many korans does it take to fill up a toilet?
-One. The book is full of sh*t.
What did the moslem say when told a copy of the koran was flushed down the toilet?
-What's a toilet?
"A State Department website explains that Hi is published 'with the hope of building bridges of greater understanding among our cultures.'"
Instead of building bridges, we should be digging moats--to keep those who want to kill or subvert us out and throw in those that are already here trying to do that (the CAIR crew for instance).
Today I hiked my foggy bottom across The Bridge of Understanding to get to my favorite Moslem haberdasher, where I said, "Mo, I wanna look sharp." Mo nodded sagely. His ass nodded parsley. He said, "Son, you come to the right place, I can fix you up good." Well, was I relieved. And a good thing I did so in a tailor shop where a new get-up was forthrightly available. I said, "Mo, don't fool me around, I wanna look like the Prophet himself. I'm talking hot." He said "This is for you," and I kinda looked like sideways at the suit cause it looked to me like a big turd, and I said, "Hey, Mo, it looks kinda like a big turd," and Mo said "No, habibi, it's a giant candy-bar suit. It's the hottest thing for picking up girls since the M&M suits went out with the Sadr gang this morning." Then I said, "Well, behead me if I'm skeptical, Mo, but how am I gonna pick up girls looking like this?" He had all the answers: "You go," he said, "to the playground and tell the girls you're a candy bar, and then lure them into the bushes. Find a nine year old, rape her, and if she's actually your sister, you fly into a rage and stab her to death for dishonoring you family."
Folks, I got a billion of 'em. They're all Moslems. You're gonna die laughing. Or maybe not, cause it's really not so funny.
In the end I rented a horse suit. I got a great deal on it because the last guys who wore it had an accident on the stairs. One guy broke a leg and they had to shoot him.
Hey did you read the one about.... Well, next time. [He clumped away to massive applause.]
Just back from moisturizing (caught in a passing rainstorm) and exfoliating (skinned my shin rushing up the walk with a cheap charcoal grill ...to get it up under the porch roof so the fire didn't fizzle out before the steaks went on)-
-and it struck me (as Stevie Ray Vaughn's LOUD "Riviera Paradise" echoed out through the open windows) that there is no good music, or art, or literature (except a few apostates), or science, or philosophy, or film-making (the rare apostates exception again) or even cartooning (Abu Shrek or Ayatollah Anime) coming out of Islam.
Zip.
And I'm supposed to be enthralled and impressed by this 'Noble Enterprise' and 'Final Revelation'?
If this is what results (CUE: Sound of Crickets), screw it.
Give me Jimi Hendrix, Judy Chicago, The Pussycat Dolls, William Gibson, John Frankenheimer, Camille Paglia, Nathaniel West, Oriana Fallaci, Keith Jarrett, Georgia O'Keeffe, Carlos Santana, Frida Kahlo, Link Wray, Rachel Carson, Philip K. Dick, Ani DeFranco, Salvador Dali, Frank Zappa and a bottle of Smothers Brothers wine anyday
-over the Koran, Hadiths, and the scintillating scavenged sweat of Mohammad.
(And maybe a lukewarm glass of camel's milk and some khat.)
This thread seems the best place to post this little gem I found:
"Fatima Mernissi has pointed out that Muslim men are reminded to make Allah present at the moment of ejaculation: “Praise be to God who created man from a drop of water.” (1987: 114)

What do you make of State's efforts to reach out to Muslims with magazines such as this? Do you think it is likely to have an impact?
"What do you make of State's efforts to reach out to Muslims with magazines such as this? Do you think it is likely to have an impact?"
I think it will have a positive impact.
Let me get this straight. The US State Department aka Comedy of Errors is sending batallions of Mary Kay and Avon representatives to Muslim countries to teach Muslim men the art of moisturizing their skin. I understand MK has a super shaving cream. Will that product be allowed? How about peppermint lotion for tired feet? Of course, there isn't much use for this kind of thing for women being all covered up and everything. How about shipping truckloads of deoderants to them .. and their goats?

Saladin. Ia, prophet maniac:
"...and found its fragrance as sweet as the fragrance of Allah’s Messenger” (5760). His mother collected the Prophet’s sweat in a bottle. She told Muhammad: “That is your sweat which we mix in our perfume and it becomes the most fragrant perfume” (5761).
I use perfume when I pray and celebrate the greatness of God, Muslims use many different types of perfume, the Prophet Muhammad preferred Rose perfumes, that too is my favourite, the smell is so sweet, beautiful yet so subtle. I use cologne as well.

Description of the Holy Prophet's Features
Allah Almighty and Exalted adorned the Prophet with His Divine Lights and Manners, and then He added more by saying to him: "Truly you are of a magnificient nature" [68:4].
The Prophet was neither tall nor short, but he was of middle height. He had broad shoulders. His color was light, neither dark nor white. He had a broad forehead, with heavy eyebrows, not connected but with a blaze shining like silver in the middle of them. His eyes were large. His teeth were very white, like pearls. His hair was not curly nor was it straight, but in between. His neck was long. His chest was broad, without much flesh. The color of his chest was light, and between his sternum and his navel was a line of hair. He had no hair on his chest other than that line. His shoulders were wide and had hair on them. On his shoulders were two seals of Prophecy. All his Companions used to look at them. The right shoulder had a black beauty mark, and around it were some small hairs, like the hairs of a horse. His forearms were large. His wrists were long. His fingers were also long. His palm was smoother than silk.
Whenever he put his hand on the head of a child or a man, the beautiful scent of musk came from it. Wherever he moved, a cloud moved with him that shaded him from the heat of the sun. His sweat was like white pearls, and its smell was like amber and musk. The Companions said they had never seen anything like it before.
The Holy Prophet used to look down more than he raised his head. Whoever saw him from afar was amazed by him and whoever knew him intimately loved him. He was most handsome both in his external appearance and his internal appearance.
Amr ibn al-`As said, "No one was dearer to me than the Holy Prophet nor was anyone more glorious than him in my eyes. So bright was his glory that I could not look at his face for any length of time, so that if I were asked to describe him I would not be able to as I had not looked at him long enough."
Saladin: I got it! Youre a homo, youre in love with men! Now I understand where ya coming from! OK then, OK...
Tip of the day for you perfuming, metrosexual, jihadist moslem terrorist lowlife scum (i.e. all who follow islam):
Take a shower. You stink.
Funny posts, Madzionist.
Thanks for the memories of ZZ-Top, Granny.
Now I can see getting a haircut and shoes shined, but the rest of this State Department silliness is for Girlie Men. If we had wanted to project such an image of America, we would have voted John Kerry into office.
Unicorn, that was exactly what I was thinking. Instead of building bridges, we should be raising the drawbridge and putting up barriers. I laughed when I saw your post because that was my very first thought when I read this article.
ia786, KingT,
Do either of you know whether this 'homosexual sex' is ok but 'homosexual love' is not practice going on in the Arab world today? Is it really as integrated into the society as some articles would suggest?
f.g.
No doubt an affirmation that the Peter Principle still reigns supreme at foggy bottom:
The Peter Principle: The theory that employees within an organization will advance to their highest level of competence and then be promoted to and remain at a level at which they are incompetent.
