"People see that the bullies of the world get angry because of the technical and scientific advancement of other countries..." -- from Ahmadinejad's speech
This is the view repeatedly expressed by Muslim leaders: the idea that "science" consists mainly of weaponry. When Ahmadinejad talks about "technical and scientific advancement," he is speaking only about weaponry, or more specifically, about Iran's nuclear project. In exactly the same way, when Mahathir Mohamed, who ran Malaysia, addressed the Organization of Islamic Countries, he spoke of the need for the Muslim countries to advance in science. But it was clear that the structure of DNA, the workings of the brain, the immune system, or any of the discoveries in theoretical physics, meant nothing to him or to his audience. He was interested in weaponry. Weaponry, which would allow the Muslims to achieve their proper role in the universe: for Islam is to dominate, and is not to be dominated.
Bombs are Ahmadinejad's idea of science.
Of course the Western world has been utterly and completely and foolishly generous in opening up its universities and technical institutes to Muslim students -- a policy that must stop completely. It was in a Dutch institute that "Doctor" A. Q. Khan discovered the nuclear secrets which he simply stole -- and those thefts explain the Pakistani bombs. It was in England that those two female Iraqis, known now as Dr. Germ and Dr. Anthrax, obtained their training in biology -- for them, biology meant biological warfare. How many of those Muslim "scientists" (that is, would-be weapons makers) obtained their training in the West, or were taught by those who had done so? All of them, or merely almost all of them?
Meanwhile, Ahmadinejad echoes the constant theme of Muslim rulers today -- the declaration that we simply must stop the non-existent "bullying." Is the "bullying' also in the hundreds of billions spent on Iraq and Afghanistan? Is the ten trillion transferred to the Muslim oil states bullying? And what about the tens or perhaps hundreds of billions being spent on the Muslims who recently migrated to Europe and who are there provided with free education and free health care and free or subsidized housing by Infidel taxpayers? Is that bullying, despite the fact that what they get in Europe is far beyond anything they could conceivably get at home, and the fact that they respond to this by refusing to integrate, by treating with contempt and often with violence those who first welcomed them and now, with less enthusiasm, pay for what appears to be their permanent upkeep -- even as they show no signs of dropping the hostility inculcated in them toward all non-Muslims by the tenets, attitudes, atmospherics of Islam (so that mosque attendance is hardly necessary to pick up such attitudes)?
Ahmadinejad does not know what "bullying" is. The Arabs and Muslims have been rescued again and again from their own outrageous behavior. Israel has never inflicted the kind of defeat on the Arabs that it could, for it has always been scrupulous and kid-glovish. On the one occasion when it was about to inflict a hard lesson, as might have been the case had the Egyptian Third Army been crushed in the 1973 war, Nixon and Kissinger, in their shallow realpolitik, prevented it.
Nor has the American army done anything like what it could do in Iraq -- or for that matter, could do to pseudo-allies such as Pakistan or Saudi Arabia. How difficult would it be, after all, to seize the oilfields of Eastern Saudi Arabia, of Kuwait, the U.A.E., or the gas of Qatar? It would be far easier than was the invasion of Iraq. And now that there are all those expensive buildings in Saudi Arabia that have been put up over the past 30 years, and ditto with the oil sheiklets and Dubai, primitive Arabia has become "target-rich" in a way it was not before.
As for those Arab and Muslim funds in the Western world -- do the Arabs not remember what happened to alien-owned assets during World War II?
One wonders what they think will happen if there are further attacks in the West of any kind. If those attacks are carried out by Muslims born and raised in, say, England, but whipped up into special fervor by those mosques, madrasas, propaganda, satellite television broadcasts, paid for by the Saudis and other rich Arabs, do they think they will remain permanently unscathed -- or are they prepared for a scathing? Do they think the West could never ever seize that so-easily-seizable oil? For the "money weapon" needs to be taken away. Unless, of course, that "money" is no longer used as a "weapon" in Jihad.
Could the pleasure-loving Al-Saud, Al-Thani, Al-Sabah, begin to get the picture?
I agree completely, Hugh. Probably one of the reasons this simple, common sense solution has been avoided, is because of fear of what the braying jackasses on the Left will say.
The irony is that when the Left screams, "No blood for oil!", the fact is that taking away the oil would spare a lot of blood.
Certain monies will now be harder to track, of course, thanks to the New York Times.

Yojimbo-
But the excusionist allies of the traitorious Times protest that:
"No intelligent jihadist would NOT have already known of the U.S. government's SWIFT money transfer tracking efforts."
Leaving aside the intelligence level of jihadists (and, shouldn't we also try to catch stupid jihadists, too?), this presumptuous "logic" would imply that no secrecy at all needs to exist, because clever terrorists will only elude such programs anyway.
Security Hara-Kiri, courtesy of the NYT, is fine as long as it harms Bush, is the hysterical undercurrent.
And 'the hell with all who die' because of our weakened defenses.
They are martyrs for the cause of Defeat GWB.
Cutting off their own face to spite his nosiness.
(And I don't like Bush because he is too weak, but I wouldn't help destroy the country in order to irrationally punish his pandering and pussyfooting.)
profitsbeard GWB might be too weak, but look what could of taken his place Kerry or Algore? at least GWB did not go around and blame the 9-11 on the US, like what Clinton and the rest of the Dems have said over and over along with Carter and Michale Moore.
l dont think GWB is perfect, but you work with what you have, and work harder to get better, ie ex NYC mayor Guiliani. he told the Saudi's to stuff it when offered money after 9-11. The left is unhinged, and rather destroy the country to go after GWB.
LULU-
I agree that you take a pitbull with two teeth over one with none.
I support him more than he supports himself, if that makes any sense.
Advanced Scientific Courses in Islam: (it’s not just bomb-making)
1.) Physics: How the sun re-ignites each morning after rising from the lake of mud.
2.) Biology: DNA profiling to determine which species of apes and pigs the Jews evolved from.
3.) Sociology: Martyrism - How far down the family tree does Allah extend his special rewards in Paradise to the relatives of suicide bombers?
4.) Anthropology: What other deficiencies can be discovered in women besides intellect, piousness, cleanliness, trustworthiness, inheritance, appearance, and obedience?
XERO G-
5) Genetics: Semen originates in the hipbone.
(I think there's a special Nobel Prize waiting for this one.)
this is just it they are still basicly primitive slave holding deasart phesants or raiders that if oil had not been discovered under them would still be sitting unwashed in goat skin hair tents or mud and dung huts but unfortuntly it was and its given most of the midle eastern moslem world the idia that that oil and the money makes them better than anyone else and the quran and mo-ham-(what a pig)mad tell them islam is ment to rule the world and in there primitive
childish minds they belive it
