The day after the London bombing, the Group of Eight pledged to give $3 billion to the Palestinians. This would have been a perfect opportunity for them to say, "You won't get a penny until you stop teaching jihad in your schools and preaching it in your mosques." This would have been a perfect opportunity to call upon the Saudis to divert some money from their global jihad funding to pick up the tab.
"G8 pledges 3 billion dollars to Palestinians," from Al-Jazeera, with thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist:
The Group of Eight (G8) has pledged a $3bn aid package for the Palestinian Authority."The G8... agreed a substantial package of help for the Palestinian Authority, amounting to up to three billion dollars in the years to come ... so that two states, Israel and Palestinian, two peoples and two religions can live side by side in peace," British Prime Minister Tony Blair said on Friday at the end of the Gleneagles summit.
Blair said last week that he wanted the summit to focus on Palestinian living standard and aid its government after Israel withdraws from the Gaza Strip.
I really wish we could have a vote on whether we send our money to these people. Social Security would be solvent if we would quit trying to buy friendship from countries that will always hate us.
Oh, and by the way KT...over at Jihadwatch here is the leading story.
Second Group, Abu Hafs Al Masri Brigade, Claims Responsibility for London Bombings
Oddly enough, however, neither this group nor the first one that claimed responsibility was made up of Christian fundamentalists.
Jizya is right. But it is worse than that. This particular jizya is for $3 billio a year, for 3 years, or $9 billion. Just after an attack by Muslims, bent on world-wide Jihad, on civilians in London, the assembled Great and Good of the G-8 decided that they would send the largest jizya they have ever sent, at one go -- and send it to the very worst of the Muslim Arabs, the original shock troops, self-rendered so full of primitive hysteria and hate, registered so completely on those faces of those all-male mobs, screaming, thrusting their fists in the air, goosestepping in black pants, black shirts, black balaklavas, clutching their Kalashnikovs (or baby-sized kalashnikovs for the little, budding muhajedin).
This was the perfect time, and the perfect place, to Stop the Jizya. To just Say NO. To tell the "Palestinians" the game is up, and if the "poor" Arabs (defined as those who do not have the bonanza of billions in OPEC oil revenues, though why anyone should decide that all Arabs deserve a guaranteed income from the non-Muslim world is entirely unclear) need money, well then , they should take their request to all the richest people in the world, their fellow Arabs, but the "rich" ones, the ones in Saudi Arabia, the U.A.E., Kuwait, and the lesser sheikdoms, not to mention such other OPEC members as Libya, Algeria, and Iran.
No more transfer of wealth, called foreign aid or military aid, should go from the Infdiel world to the Muslims. This is madness. This undercuts all that hollow rhetoric about not being moved by "terrorism," not being "terrorized."
There is nothing that indicates an Infidel is being "terrorized" than the payment of Jizyah. And once it begins, it never stops -- for the Muslims are past masters at making it seem as if they somehow, well...deserve it. Look at Egypt, a center of anti-Americanism, and yet the American govenment seems petrified of cutting off the $2 billion a year that Egypt, too, should be getting, if it is to be getting it from anyone, from the Saudis and others.
And if the poor Arabs begin to resent the not-quite-forthcoming, not-quite-as-generous-as-the-stupid-exploitable Infidels, well that may lead to intra-Arab resentments, intra-Arab tensions, intra-Arab warfare of various kinds. And that is highly desirable -- from our point of view.
And if the money is forthcoming, well -- that simply means a little less walking-around money to be supplied to pay for mosques and madrasas all over the Western world, and lawyers for Muslim defendants, and money for those ex-diplomats, journalists, writers of hagiographical works on Saudis and other kinds of Islamic propaganda, academic centers that are Arab-funded and Arab-directed behind the curtain, or even at times in front of it. And Infidels need to be wracking their brains not only to find ways to diminsish the OPEC revenues that have helped make the permanent dream and impulse of Jihad a reality (through the money weapon), but in the decades to follow, to do everything possible -- including seizure of assets which can, after the next bomb, be declared "enemy assets" (so much for all that Arab-owned real estate in the fancier parts of France, England, and the United States -- and it comes to a pretty penny, not to mention the commercial real estate and hotels that the Arabs enjoy buying up), seized, and the property sold, with the revenues going to pay for the hundreds of billions in extra security costs that can be directly attributable to the financial supporters of Jihad.
But this will require some understanding greater than that so far exhibited by our not very impressive rulers, including Bush with his "ideology of love and compassion" that will conquer a strangely un-defined "ideology of hate" and Blair, with his "vast and overwhelming majority of Muslims" who -- guess what? -- deplore all this stuff just as much as we do.
D'accord. Spravedlivo. Right.
And Blair has finally checked in on the 'causes of terrorism'
http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/europe/07/09/london.attacks.blair.ap/index.html
And what are they, according to the good Prime Minister? Lack of deprivation, democracy, and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. Of course, the last cause is roughly equal to Israel.
Nothing about Jihad ideology, nothing about the Qur'an and Sunna, nothing about billions of dollars of oil wealth financing a barbaric, aggressive, fascist ideology, Islam, nothing about Islamic triumphalism, the victories of Islam in Afganistan, Iran, Sudan and in other smaller arenas like Indonesia and Egypt (e.g. the assassination of Sadat), the truimphalist fallout of 'Islam' acquiring the bomb in Pakistan, the European nuturing of Islamic madmen like the Ayatollah Khomeini, the European nuturing of millions of Muslims in Europe itself, many of whom desire to bring an end to Western ways of life, and all of whom, if they are truly Muslim, are obligated to defend and advance the faith and seek the establishment of Islamic law, the billions of dollars given to Muslim countries that fan the flame of hatred against non-Muslims and those who oppose Islam, most notably, the United States and Israel, the global Islamic propaganda machine, Islamic Internet sites financed by Arab oil money, Al Jazeera, nothing about the encouragement given to Islamic forces of Jihad by appeasement, like Madrid, like the billions handed over to the so-called 'Palestinians', nothing about the farce of the so-called 'war on terror', which does not identify the enemy, Jihadists, mujahedin, inspired by Jihad ideology central to the tenents of Islam itself, and nothing about Western self hatred, that looks to blame itself for the actions of those who indiscrimately murder innocent non-Muslim citizens whose lives are considered worthless, utterly expendable in advancing the cause of Islamic victory.
Nothing about something that really matters. Nothing.
Mr. Prime Minister. God help Great Britain and the non-Muslim world. You, like Neville Chamberlin, complete misunderstand the enemy that threatens your people and all of us who call ourselves free, that is, free of Islam, and your ignorance, your utter foolishness in the face of this deadly fascism will cost us all.
May God forgive you.
"But this will require some understanding greater than that so far exhibited by our not very impressive rulers..."
The faulty understanding is not merely a problem among our rulers. Our rulers certainly are not valiantly pursuing objectives that go against the dominant public opinion and dominant Zeitgeist. Rather, our rulers are cravenly swimming with the current of our dominant PC multi-culturalist Leftist pathology.
What were they thinking giving anything to the Palestinians.
1. The money will not be appreciate. I doubt there will even be a thank you from the "palestinian" people.
2. The money will be squandered and stolen by PA leadership.
3. It sends a terrible message after muslims killed dozens of innocents in London.The correct thing would have been to reduce "aid" to muslims.Let their Arab "brothers" feed them.
Robert-- I have a request. Whenever the word "Palestinian" is used, could you possibly put quotation marks around it? If enough people begin to do that, to call it into question, this recently-invented people, invented to convince the West that there are these "two tiny peoples" etc. instead of this one Big Jihad of which tiny Israel has been for the past half-century the most obvious, but hardly the only victim, of Jihad -- and at this point, has been joined by the entire rest of the Infidel world -- then to the extent that others pick it up, it will do some of the calling-into-question work for us.
It is just like the phrase "New Duranty Times." Just keep it up. Keep it up.
After all, that's what the Arabs did when they invented the "Palestinian people." So let's un-invent them. Let's focus on the Jihad, of not for the badly-led Israelis and their suicidal surrenders, at least for ourselves.
The ancient Romans followed a similar policy (i.e. of paying off the barbarians). Where is the Roman Empire today? Hmmmmmm.
Atleast the ancient Roman ruins are still there though. What is left of them that is.
Jizya never solves any problem. Never. Apparently we never learn that paying the gold never gets rid of the Dane (i.e., terrorism). Never.
Dane-geld
(A.D. 980-1016)
Rudyard Kipling
It is always a temptation to an armed and agile nation,
To call upon a neighbour and to say:—
“We invaded you last night—we are quite prepared to fight,
Unless you pay us cash to go away.”
And that is called asking for Dane-geld,
And the people who ask it explain
That you’ve only to pay ’em the Dane-geld
And then you’ll get rid of the Dane!
It is always a temptation to a rich and lazy nation,
To puff and look important and to say:—
“Though we know we should defeat you, we have not the time to meet you.
We will therefore pay you cash to go away.”
And that is called paying the Dane-geld;
But we’ve proved it again and again,
That if once you have paid him the Dane-geld
You never get rid of the Dane.
It is wrong to put temptation in the path of any nation,
For fear they should succumb and go astray,
So when you are requested to pay up or be molested,
You will find it better policy to say:
“We never pay any one Dane-geld,
No matter how trifling the cost,
For the end of that game is oppression and shame,
And the nation that pays it is lost!”
Thanks reset for this poem. History repeats, unfortunately, and in literature is captured timeless tragedy.
Someone must get this poem to Tony Blair for reading on his vacation.
As for Bush, I don't know. Could someone get it into his wife hands, or to Condi Rice, or to the Vice President. Maybe they could tell him all about it.
I read that Blair piece. It's true. The Blair administration is just as lost as the Bush Administration. Fools on a dinghy, sharks in the water, leak in the boat, and they are talking about helping the poor oppressed victimized Muslims. Pathetic.

The Islamist Danes laugh and laugh at the fools. I laugh at them too, but also know their foolishness will eventually lead to great injury to us.
The ancient Romans used this principle to buy off the barbarians at the gate, the Europeans used it again to buy off the invading Scandinavian sea pirates, the Vikings, as well as the North Africa slavers that raided their coasts and enslaved tens of thousands for more than a century. Again the paying of tribute, the paying thugs to go away doesn't work: they only want more. Now they are demanding the entire world and all its inhabitants for their use. We must impress this upon our government and other institutions.
Until the Palestinians repent, THEY SHOULD NEVER GET FOREIGN AID PERIOD.
The Spaniards had my sympathy for 3 full days, until they voted in Zapatero the Appeaser.
The British had my sympathy for only 24 hours, till they paid $3 million to Arab terrorists.
