Recently in a major American city I had another Wahhabi cab driver, with the distinctive Wahhabi beard. He didn't offer me any DVD's, but he did spend the ride proselytizing, and showed great curiosity as to where exactly I lived, which was one detail I was not all that disposed to tell him. Anyway, in Australia, some of that gentleman's coreligionists who also drive cabs are much bolder.
"Muslim taxi conversions," by Paul Anderson in the Herald Sun (thanks to all who sent this in):
TAXI authorities have condemned an Islamic recruiting drive by some of Melbourne's Muslim cabbies using propaganda-style DVDs featuring radical preacher Sheik Khalid Yasin.Three DVDs, two featuring Sheik Yasin, have been handed to the Herald Sun by an unwitting cab driver after a night trip.
The pro-Islamic discs were handed over in what appeared to be a sales pitch.
A controversial cleric, Sheik Yasin's past outspoken visits to Australia have concerned security agencies and the Federal Government.
The DVDs given to the Herald Sun, with titles including Death . . . Your Time Is Up! and What Do You Really Know About Islam? feature Sheik Yasin preaching.
Meanwhile, the Victorian Taxi Directorate wants to stop this in order to protect...the cabbies:
The Victorian Taxi Directorate and police sources have condemned the practice of cabbies handing religious material to passengers.It contravenes regulations and police say it could lead to violence against cabbies.
"The directorate is concerned with any driver conduct which may cause offence to the public," a VTD spokesman said in a statement.
"The VTD will investigate all complaints lodged through our feedback and complaints service, and strongly encourages passengers to lodge complaints when they are unhappy or concerned with the service they have received."
Two of the three discs given to the Herald Sun name Sheik Yasin as executive director of the Islamic Teaching Institute, dedicated to "conveying the message".
"In the past 10 years, the ITI has delivered more than 5000 persons to Islam and an additional 1476 since the September 11 attacks," the DVDs say.
"Sheik Yasin delivered a lecture in Saudi Arabia in 1994, which resulted in 43 persons accepting Islam on that very night."
In one of the DVDs, Sheik Yasin says: "Let me for a moment introduce you to death so you know his name, know his characteristics.
"You will feel him. You will smell him. You will taste him. You will touch him."
Tu-quoque Alert:
In another, the Malcolm X-inspired preacher says: "Many of you have heard or you've been told that Muslims are terrorists, fanatics, heretics, extremists, murderers and hostage takers."In some cases that is true . . . but let us be objective.
"Have not Jews and Christians also done those things, and are they not also doing those things? Yes, they are."...
Yes, I'll never forget the day those Christian terrorists flew those jetliners into those high-rise office buildings.
Victoria Police would not officially comment on the issue, saying unless the DVDs were inciting violence it appeared no crime was being committed....Sheik Yasin, a US-born preacher, has visited Australia on several occasions and lectured Islamic community groups and universities.
He gained notoriety in Australia by announcing on TV it was God's will homosexuals be executed, and husbands could beat their misbehaving wives.
In 2005, Sheik Yasin wanted to set up a TV channel to convert Aborigines to Islam.
He also claimed the September 11 attacks were not the work of al-Qaida, and there was no such thing as a Muslim having a non-Muslim friend.
Australian politicians have called for the cancellation of his visa so he cannot come back.
There's a start. But what about all the cabbies?
"and showed great curiosity as to where exactly I lived, which was one detail I was not all that disposed to tell him. "
Heh. Mhmmmm. I'm sure he did.
Gee.
I wonder why?
::grin::
I think we should start traveling with retractable crowbars, and when the lads try to evangelize, just open a can of whoopass on 'em.
"He gained notoriety in Australia by announcing on TV it was God's will homosexuals be executed, and husbands could beat their misbehaving wives"....from headline.
Of course, because their father the devil approves of all evil deeds.
Cab drivers are just one of the many interfaces of Jihad. I kind of keeping an interest in what's going on around Europe. I got to tell you that it needs to be corrected -
Here is something that I've picked on the BBC site and it made me very angry when I read a guy name 'Ismail Aman' who is apparently pretty high-up in some place 'Foster Care Link'. He is officially using terms such as "The Prophet Muhammad himself was fostered. He promoted fostering in his life time."
This is to any Muslim who may be reading this - Mohd. is not our prophet. You guys can call him what the heck you like - just keep well away from our shores.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6900833.stm
History of adoption
Ismail Aman is director of Foster Care Link, a service specialising in black, Asian and ethnic minority placements.
He told the BBC that more Asian children were being put up for adoption because of social changes within their communities which lead to more family breakdown.
Drugs and alcoholism were more prevalent now than in the past, he said, and problems like domestic violence and child abuse were increasingly dealt with publicly rather than within families.
But Mr Aman said the history of adoption within Islam stretched back 1,400 years and should be actively encouraged.
"The Prophet Muhammad himself was fostered. He promoted fostering in his life time."
He promoted marrying 9-year-old girls too, and this is a practice that continues. He promoted the beheading and crucifixion of Jews and Infidels and this is a practice that continues. Now, I don't know if the fearless Prophet promoted the baking of children and then serving 'em up on platters for their parents as incentives to convert to Islam or else join Team Al Qaeda, mayhap there's a cookbook within the Hadith or Sunna that has some recipes, but there seems to be alot of examples of the Prophet Who Must Not Be Named, and we would be wise not to emulate them.
You need a car service , Do you think that taxi drivers are immune to sudden jihad syndrome?Your Zionist head would be quite the prize!
I would be content with a little chrome jaguar on the hood of my purring new car....some people are really picky.
"Let me for a moment introduce you to death so you know his name, know his characteristics. You will feel him. You will smell him. You will taste him. You will touch him"....from headline.
What a poetic piece from the death cult entitled, "Macabre".
"Cab drivers are just one of the many interfaces of Jihad" -- from above.
Yes, I believe they are that and more.
The possibility that cab drivers could double as spies, transports and couriers has doubtless occured to smarter folks than me, to minds that are in a position to recognize and counter such actions...hopefully.
Robert asked:
I was worried about that too, as I'm sure we all were. But no worries, mates. The Victorian Taxi Directorate is watching out for them, and protecting them from the hordes of Christianist jihadists. It's okay, they'll be safe. Whew!
Not good news for me :(
I live here, and I no longer drive. I have to use cabs occasionally. Now I will have to be extra mindlful of them.
Interestingly enough some friends of mine used a cab in Sydney. They had an Egyptian muslim driver who told them things were awful in Egypt, and said the government should NOT allow any muslims into Australia.
Cabbies can get to places in the airport that you or I would not be allowed to drive our cars. We have to park far from the terminal and take the bus in.
An airport in Missouri has footbaths for all the Muslim cabdrivers. Where are their cabs parked while they perform their rituals? Who has access to them?
'It contravenes regulations'
I'm a Melbourne taxi driver (20 yrs) and the industry is not saturated with muslim drivers,, yet. A trip to the airport can give you an impression of saturation of the muslim creed but that's the way it is with these lazy good for nothing drivers. The VTD are a stringent hard ass bunch and will nip this one in the bud as they always do when issues arise. At present the VTD are changing the wording on certificates from 'driver certificate' to 'driver accreditation' giving the VTD all the more power to kick drivers out of the industry without legal recourse. Remember the blind with their seeing eye dogs? Something like 200 drivers were given their marching orders, and they don't often refuse clients at the airport as drivers have always been sent to the back of the rank. Aussies love a drink too, and if/when the indoctrinated bigots start that caper the cries of protest will be deafening...
PMK... There is a holding bay outside the grounds of the airport where they do their wishy washy bang head on floor routine and you could quite easily take your private car to places the taxi's go...
cabbies recruiting in Australia?
lol...you could find the same thing in the US that's been going on for much longer...lol
eloivsdiablo
Thanks for posting that. It's encouraging.
Many drivers I have had, non-muslims, have complained a lot to me that these newer drivers have no idea of what they are required to do.
I have often had to give directions.
I thought Kennett cleaned up the industry. Obvioulsy not enough.
Take The Next Cab.
If you don't want to support the Jihad.
TAKE THE NEXT CAB.
If the puzzled Muslim cabbie wonders why, just say you have pork-flavored alcohol on you, and don't want to endanger their chance at paradise.
That way you're in the "right".
Being super-p.c.
And extremely dhimmi.
And not giving them a cent.
TAKE THE NEXT CAB!
Everywhere you go -- Islam this, Islam that.
You'd think someone would come clean with the people of the West and just say what I say:
"Islam is the Enemy."
If you need a reminder of what's coming, just listen to "Their Finest Hour", perhaps Winston Churchill's most famous speech, which he gave after the invasion of France by Hitler's forces.
Robert
Why not just rent cars wherever you go? If you make 2 or more cab trips in a city during a day's stay, I think it should work out cheaper.
Gramfan,
All Kennett did was improve training (believe it or not) and paint the damn things that canary yellow color. The training is far more extensive than it was when I got my licence, but nothing it seems is going to keep up with the 'invasion' and driving a taxi can be a such a thankless occupation with no holiday pay, no sick leave, and the pay at times can be a pittance which is perfect for mug immigrants. It's also a job one grows to love or hate and appreciation for people is an essential requirement, I've watched many a driver grow into bitter and twisted whining monsters though. Hope one of these recruiters to jihad taxi drivers run into a relative of a Bali bombing victim...
Jauhara Al-Kafirah,
Twatsworth-Upon-Bumsuckle?
I'm still cracking up!!
I wasnt aware Progressive was a cab driver.
I could live with a Muslim taxi driver, but I'd better not find out that airlines are hiring them as pilots.
Infidel Pride-
Renting a car if you travel to a country that uses the 'wrong side of the road' can be dangerous. Cabs are safer for such travelers.
...to one and all...
"Islam is the Enemy"...
Fatwa me if you like....I will put a voo doo spell on you....
"You will feel him. You will smell him. You will taste him. You will touch him." holy smokes! I'd rather feel, smell, taste and touch John Rich.
In one of the DVDs, Sheik Yasin says: "Let me for a moment introduce you to Satan so you know his name, know his characteristics.
"You will feel him. You will smell him. You will taste him. You will touch him."
