Mladen Andrijasevic sent this letter to the International Herald Tribune:
Sir,Norway recognized the PA coalition. This means that Norway recognized the Hamas Charter with its Article 7: "O Muslim! there is a Jew hiding behind me, come on and kill him" and Article 13: "There is no solution to the Palestinian problem except by Jihad."
Let's face it. Norway just recognized the government whose openly stated aim is the destruction of the State of Israel. What self-respecting country would continue to have normal diplomatic relations with Norway if put in a similar position?
Sincerely,

And this is what they printed:
Norway and the PalestiniansRegarding the article "Israel moves to isolate Palestinian coalition" (March 19): Norway has recognized the new Palestinian coalition government. Let's face it: Norway just recognized the government whose openly stated aim is the destruction of Israel.
What self-respecting country would continue to have normal diplomatic relations with Norway?

Where did all the posts go?
So it's not just me Hugh
This article gets to the very essence of what the site Jihad Watch is all about. Here, at the most public levels of Western thought, the idea that the ideological source of hatred and violence is Islamic supremacy and jihad ideology just can't be stated in public.
If this hateful and primative ideology cannot be exposed when it comes to Hammas, a child of the Muslim Brotherhood and now a partner with the PLO, the foremost perpetrators of modern terrorism, then obviously, these people will not recognize what is going on in the Mosque down the street.
Speaking of the Mosque down the street, I live in a beautiful upscale suburb that has a new Islamic Center. I visited there when they had an open house and browsed among their school books. After 2 or 3 minitues of looking, I came accross this in a 3rd grade book in; following a summary of the disobediance of the Israelites to Moses (Musa) after the exodus;
"Did they not deserve their punishment, wretchedness and constant wandering, and that they will never prosper? Yes, they indeed deserve all this and even worse because of their evil deeds. 'Allah did not wrong them. But they wronged themselves.' (16:33)"
This is being taught to my neighbor's kids. The Jews "deserve" note the present tense, "punishment, wretchedness and constant wandering." I am not in Afganistan, Iraq or Somalia. The jihad is right here in my backyard. It is ideological first and foremost.
I have sent brief letters to the Herald Tribune that have been truncated and distorted as this one was. For Mladen's information, on my blog I call for Israel to expel the Norwegian ambassador and all Norwegian diplomatic personnel down to a charge d'affaires, plus other measures. If Norway expels our ambassador in return, that's hardly retaliation. Our ambassador there in oslo does not seem to be very effective and we could probably better use the money for provding hot meals to school kids.

well, let us not go too hard on the Norges..America will soon follow in their footsteps..
"JERUSALEM - The United States made its first contact with the new Hamas- Fatah coalition Tuesday, ending a yearlong diplomatic boycott of the Palestinian government.
The meeting between a U.S. diplomat and the Palestinian finance minister signaled a break in policy between Israel and its closest ally, and could mark a significant step toward ending a painful aid cutoff to the Palestinian government.
Jacob Walles, the U.S. consul in Jerusalem, set the precedent with a six-mile drive to the West Bank city of Ramallah, where he met Palestinian Finance Minister Salam Fayyad, an internationally respected economist and political independent. It was the first official U.S. meeting with a Palestinian Cabinet minister in a year."
..surprised at nothing anymore..sigh
no problem, the guy we're meeting with has no idea where the money has been going..
"Palestinian minister admits aid millions lost
By Josh Mitnick in Ramallah, Sunday Telegraph
Last Updated: 12:25am GMT 11/03/2007
A former World Bank official who is about to become the Palestinian finance minister has warned foreign donors that he has no idea where much of their money has been spent.
Salam Fayyad warned donors
In the 14 months since Hamas won elections, Palestinian finances have descended into such chaos that there is now no way to confirm whether aid is going to its stated purpose, according to Salam Fayyad, 54, who is poised to start his second stint as treasury chief once the rival Hamas and Fatah factions finalise a "unity" government.
An estimated £362.5 million has flowed into Palestinian government coffers from abroad since the election that brought Hamas to power and ushered in a period of internal conflict that came close to all-out civil war.
The European Union alone provided £59.5 million last year and sent a far greater sum directly to hospitals, power generation projects and to families in need.
Now, Palestinian Authority spending is out of control, salaries are being paid to workers who never turn up, and nobody can track where the money is going, according to Mr Fayyad."
The "Letters to the Editor" pages have been (for years now) one of my pet peeves. It's not just that nothing ever critical of Islam/the Pals/the Osamas, etc., is rarely, if ever published -- it is the number of outright lies (pro-terrorist, pro jihadist) that are routinely published (without correction) in the local papers. I've read letters (circa 2001) in which outraged letter writers would write scathing letters to the editor, castigating Israel's use of mortars and the shelling of Arab villages (!!), as I laugh. I suppose much of this could just be written off as the willfully ignorant, uninformed, semi-literate, but worshipful followers of Arafat.
Lately, however, the letter writers have changed. Now we get Letters to the Editor, from the Ambassador of Egypt. Said Liar will claim forthrightly that Egypt has never, ever broadcast the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (seemingly outraged by the suggestion that Egyptian state television might be antisemitic.)
I recently received a mailing from the SWC (Spring 2007), and here one reads about a copy-cat Holocaust Denial Conference (similar to the one held in Tehran), only this time the conference was held in Cairo. The Cairo Conference was called "The Holocaust Lie" and was broadcast live around the Arab world. According to the SWC, a "keynote speaker was Waheed al Uksory, a well-known politicial figure who was one of the candidates permitted to run against Egyptian President Mubarak in the 2005 presidential elections." Another speaker was shown "waving the infamous Protocols of the Elders of Zion as he demonized the Jewish people." But, of course, Canadians, reading the Letters to the Editor pages and the lies spread by Egypt's ambassador, such things do not occur. (Eventually the National Post did publish a letter which countered the Ambassador's claims -- citing the Horseman Without a Horse production...but, to my knowledge, no one wrote about Cairo's "The Holocaust Lie Conference.")
In Canada, the lies are multiplying and things do not seem to be improving (I believe the situtation is getting worse.) Right now there's going to be yet another "inquiry", like the Arar "inquiry" (this time, it is to investigate Canadian guilt for the torture of some other Arabs -- torture which supposedly took place in Egypt and Syria. I can only guess how much this will cost the Canadian taxpayer -- another 10 million as with Arar?) Also, the Americans found an Iranian family who had been deported back to iran by Canada, but the family had managed to get back to North America; they were caught and detained by Americans, but now they've been returned to Canada. One of them is claiming he was "tortured" in Iran -- yet more Mullah to be shelled out by Canadians? This is getting to be beyond ridiculous. But, no doubt, the bleeding hearts - Liberal or Conservative is irrelevant, when it comes to Arabs they are all bleeding hearts -- will find a means to pay Arabs the Jiyza.)
