Feds warn cops: watch stadiums, hotels, entertainment complexes for jihad activity

"The bulletin on stadiums notes that an Al Qaeda training manual specifically lists 'blasting and destroying the places of amusement, immorality, and sin... and attacking vital economic centers...'"

New York Jihad Plot Update: "Authorities Eye Stadiums, Hotels, Storage Centers in Colorado Terror Plot Probe," from FoxNews, September 22 (thanks to all who sent this in):

Federal counterterrorism officials warned local police to patrol stadiums, hotels and entertainment complexes for suspicious activity after the arrest of a Colorado man suspected of a far-reaching terror plot.

Officials said the FBI/Homeland Security bulletins weren't tied to known threats and New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly downplayed terror fears there, saying there was no specific threat and he wasn't stepping up his forces as a result.

"There is no security information on entertainment, sports, transit, no specific information ... other than the fact that in a post-9/11 world, we are concerned about a lot of things," Kelly told reporters at a Tuesday morning briefing in Manhattan.

Kelly said New York City already devotes "1,000 or over 1,000" police officers daily to counterterrorism efforts.

"We have not engaged in any different practices or increased our security," he said. "We are, every day, up to a level that exceeds any other city that I'm aware of."

The FBI and Department of Homeland Security also issued joint alerts to police around the country to watch storage centers for any unusual behavior.

Two bulletins were sent Monday to local authorities nationwide, with federal officials saying they know of no specific plots against such sites. The warnings -- the latest in a flurry circulated as authorities investigate a possible bomb plot in Denver and New York City -- say those sites remain attractive targets to groups like Al Qaeda.

The directives came after a similar bulletin about the vulnerabilities of mass transit systems was sent out Friday.

The bulletin on stadiums notes that an Al Qaeda training manual specifically lists "blasting and destroying the places of amusement, immorality, and sin... and attacking vital economic centers" as desired targets of the global terror network.

A joint statement from DHS and FBI said while the agencies "have no information regarding the timing, location or target of any planned attack, we believe it is prudent to raise the security awareness of our local law enforcement partners regarding the targets and tactics of previous terrorist activity."...

""have no information regarding the timing, location or target of any planned attack, we believe..."

Yeah, that's usually the problem, isn't it? Perhaps should better read:

"We have nothing more than baseless suspicion and a politically driven motive...."

What's new?

Obama: "So on this occasion, we celebrate the Holy Month of Ramadan, and we also celebrate how much Muslims have enriched America and its culture..."

Yes, America is truly enriched.

Kelly said New York City already devotes "1,000 or over 1,000" police officers daily to counterterrorism efforts.
......................

This means more than one in thirty-seven officers in NYC is engaged in "counterterrorism" efforts. In almost all cases, this is *Jihad* terrorism.

From the NYPD FAQ: The NYPD's current authorized uniformed strength is 37,038, which is scheduled to increase to 37,838 in January 2007.

As Hugh Fitzgerald so often notes, life with large Muslim populations if so much more expensive and dangerous than it would be otherwise.

What else could cash-strapped NYC be doing with these resources? But, under these circumstances, I am so very grateful they are on the job.


We need to begin deporting muslims. A muslim cannot be a citizen.

Remove the muslims, remove the islam.
Remove the islam, remove the enemy.

It's pretty simple folks.

We must all be involved in counterterrorism, proactively, constantly.

We are the first responders.

"Federal counterterrorism officials warned local police to patrol stadiums, hotels and entertainment complexes for suspicious activity..."

Vaste programme, monsieur.

Ouch. Good luck with keeping your "centres of sin" safe, guys, they're what make life worth living!

Incidentally, is there any more news on the story about the US closing its South African embassies and consulates because of a security threat? This report http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/8268511.stm is very tight-lipped but I wonder if it's a jihad thing...

AM: "We have nothing more than baseless suspicion and a politically driven motive...."

What's new?

Easy question: We have far better intel and awareness now than pre-9/11.

Cue the usual calls of Big Brother trying to advance their societal control through fear mongering. Particularly from the islam-assisting far Lefticles.

AM, look at the facts brought to light by this more than year-long investigation. Would you just let the suspects go about their business? If you weren't a fifth columnist moslem infiltrator, I mean.

Perfect example of why the feds should employ waterboarding. Dunk those pricks three times in the water and we’ll have their nine associates, as well as their explosives, faster than you can say “Glub, glub.”

AM:
The "suspicion" is in no way baseless but focuses on your coreligionists. The FBI is armed with many details that these perversions of Islam were ready to attack. To alarm people that the attack was Islam inspired would have the Americans suspicious of Muslims everywhere. Is that what you want?

Looks like the muhammdan idiot and arab wanabee abdullah has been too busy genuflecting to the meccan moon read the latest new from his co-cultists.

correction:

ooks like the muhammdan idiot and arab wanabee abdullah has been too busy genuflecting to the meccan moon rock to read the latest new from his murderous co-cultists.

We have nothing more than a bike with no seat. Allah Ackbar!

QE,

Not at all, if the evidence is there take them down with extreme prejudice.

Only I should point out, it makes no sense to scare everyone with generalized inhibitions about everything...knowing nothing, having specific information, only warning everyone to be afraid of everything! Every venue they are hiding under the bed!

I mean, be serious?

We'll soon look like a bunch a keystone cops running around falling down over each other...all I am saying is stop crying "Wolf!" because when the real wolf shows up the sleeping public you folks bitch about here all the time will be even that much harder to wake up.

Or do you disagree with that?

Peace
Abdullah

The inveterate attention-seeker "slave of allah" stoops to new lows of idiocy and irrelevancy. I knew he had to be mental defective to revert to the cult of the fiend muhammad.

Nothing to see here folks. Don't believe me? Why, then you have it on word of the that muhammdan arab wannabee and paid mouthpiece for CAIR, Abdullah Mikhail.

Of course AM...why say anything...everyone just go back to sleep until the muzzies really strike. Don't pay any attention to the islam-inspired terrorism; it's just "baseless suspicion" (ignore the muslims involved behind the curtain) and some "politically-driven motives" (let's ignore the references to islam and the imommy involved)...move along, go back to sleep so islam can have it's way.

On the contrary, if only we did this more often then maybe people will wake up to the threat islam poses to us and the number of times that we have thwarted disaster. AM, go cry wolf to your imommy.

To me the wisdom of being able to declare such people as they have arrested (and reasonably believed to be Muslim terrorists) enemy combatants and subject to "enhanced interrogation" seems clear. Finding out what these zombies know may well save lives, and sanctimonious liberals who would whine at the thought of waterboading to save innocent lives IMO should be the ones losing love ones if there is going to be another massive attack. I bet they would then change their childlike minds.

I say declare Muslim terrorist in custody "enemy combatants" and waterboard them without restraint - like I'm sure similarly threatened Muslim countries would not hesitate to do. Would Obama really rather see a stadium full of people blown up?

Heads up people! Be aware of your surroundings, be aware of others and how they are dressed, be aware of vehicles....BE AWARE! Speak up if you see anything suspicious, find a cop, call a cop...do something.

As Undaunted said above, WE are the first responders....

Father J.L. Menezes on Islam:

The Mahommedan religion on the whole with all its dogmatic and moral principles, and with all its positive and negative laws has been a curse to human society. Mahommed pretended to confer by his religion a boon, at least on his own countrymen, by giving them in place of gross idolatry a purer faith, and surer moral habits, but in this attempt he has miserably failed and has hopelessly fallen into the very sin he so vehemently assailed.

Mahommedanism has penetrated into barbarous countries and has forced its inhabitants to accept it as their saving religion, but in doing so it has not succeeded in elevating man’s condition to a higher level – or at least to a level any higher than that of Arabia in Mohammed’s time.

The Partial and specious reforms which it may have attempted to effect, are vitiated by the fact that they tend to exclude the higher and nobler virtues; and as their inner life of families, the whole, the whole tone of society and the intellectual and moral standard of a people depend on the principles of the ruling religion, it is hopeless to expect that Islam will ever cease to be what it hitherto proved, the most formidable obstacle to the dawn of a progressive and enlighten civilization.

How can it be otherwise? No permanent house can be built on a foundation of sand; what permanent civilization and progress then can be expected from a people professing a religion founded on fatalism, polygamy and slavery?

Their blind belief in inevitable fate, and their antagonism to liberty of thought and action have rendered reform next to impossible; and the professors of this religion seem never to realize their obligation and duty towards the people under their rule, of spreading true civilization, good government and the cultivation of the peaceful arts. The natural consequence of this ignorance and blindness has been despotism, mal-administration, bigoted persecution and oppression of their co-religionists.

In the countries of the Mahommedan world anarchy, rapine, revenge, strife and murder are the order of the day, thieving, lying, usury and oppression are looked upon more as virtues than vices; unrestrained licentiousness is carried to unimaginable excess.

Dirt and filth are things that never come seriously before the attention of Mahommedans; they seem indeed to prefer living in the most dirty and filthy environment.

They are generally illiterate and at the same time self-conceited and their vainglory in their religion and the nothingness of their own acquirements makes them scorn every other religion; the meager education which they generally receive when young, makes them believe that there is not much left for them to learn in the world.

In short, Mahommedan countries are the chosen homes of ignorance, bigotry, tyranny and brutal vice, and rendezvous for a filthy, unprincipled people, as well as for brigands, felons and freebooters.

While all other countries not influenced by Islam have made rapid progress in every direction and enjoy the blessings and peace of true civilization, Mahommedan countries have remained absolutely opposed to change and reform; nay, rapacity and extortion have reduced them to a most deplorable state.

Such is the boon conferred on human society by the Mahommedan religion, and what a benefactor Mahommed has been to his country! Who was pleased to give to his country, nay, to the whole world, a religion which, claiming a divine origin as the final and irrevocable standard of morality, has kept its followers sunk in ignorance and barbarism, and has become an insuperable barrier to the regeneration, civilization and progress of the Eastern world.

"The bulletin on stadiums notes that an Al Qaeda training manual specifically lists "blasting and destroying the places of amusement, immorality, and sin... and attacking vital economic centers" as desired targets of the global terror network."


Muslims are pretty much giddy about blasting and destroying just about anything anywhere, including but not limited to barber shops, bicycle ice cream vendors, movie theaters, churches, internet cafes, embassies, hotels, ships, airplanes, CD music shops, musical instruments, dance halls, restaurants, buses, funerals, weddings, toy dolls and stuffed teddy bears, people wearing blue jeans and have western style haircuts, street vendors with chicken carts, cars, trains, soccer matches, soccer players, tvs, satellite antennaes, .....well, you name it and the Muslims will probably try to blow it up...heck they even blow up their own mosques every once in a while to give the not good enough Muslims something to think about...Islam...it's a blast...

Hey AM! You never did answer my challange in the topic http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/09/colorado-muslim-suspect-in-bomb-plot-has-very-friendly-very-cordial-chat-with-fbi.html

Foolster41 said: "Heh. It is true Adullah.

And yet, you can't exactly deny that there have been countless cases of Muslims killing non-Muslims with explosives (7/7) and jet planes, hmm? Oh, I guess we're "spinning" things by telling the truth that these happened? Is it "spin" to say the Nazis killed millions of Jews at the holocaust? Is that "anti-nazi spin" as well? It's strange how many Muslims seem to go into murderous rages. Prove that any other religion has killed so many. (And please don't say, those christian "cross worshipers" (as another Muslim apologist here would say) in Iraq. America ceased being a primarily christian nation the last 30 years at least."

(And I also clarified in the next post I mean, the last 100 years)

So, could you please point out the numerous cases when non-muslim religions (Hitler was more inspired by evolution than Christianity by the way and were allied with the Islmaic mullahs) killed more than Islam?

Also you never did reply to Mikeymike in http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/09/jihad-watch-engine-of-dawah.html

You claim truth, and yet you seem to disapear from a topic when the hard questions are asked. That doesn't look very good for someone who's supposidly dedicated to truth.

Foolster,

The truth is what I speak of.

Go here…US Army War College….don’t take my word for it because I don’t think you will believe anything I write:

http://www.fas.org/man/eprint/islamic.pdf

Not that I care…I am not here to be concerned about how you react to what I write. I am only required to write the truth. Whether you believe it or not is no concern of mine.

Nothing that most of the terrorists do ever falls within the acceptable tactics of a just Islamic war in response to the aggression of another state. Period.

“Prove that any other religion has killed so many.” (Just to play fairly, I’ll allow your weasel words dodge of the German Christian nation and their little hiatus with Nazism.)

Here’s three:

#1) Communism ( Atheism ) is a religion. Hundreds of millions were killed because of it.

#2) “Manifest Destiny”, the white man’s religion of Western Expansionism, twenty five million Native Americans died because of it.

#3) Colonial Imperialism – don’t know exactly, but it’s a damned high number since only one small country escaped Colonialism, and they were predominantly Christians.


“Is it "spin" to say the Nazis killed millions of Jews at the holocaust? Is that "anti-nazi spin" as well?”

Are you trying to appear as an ignorant biased smart ass? You are succeeding.

A projection bias from you does not equate to anything associated with me…it’s your bias, not mine. Eight million Hungarians also died at the hands of the Nazis. Bad things happened to a lot of people at their hands.

“America ceased being a primarily christian nation the last 30 years at least."

America is 77.5% Catholic/Protestant Christian…

“You claim truth, and yet you seem to disapear from a topic when the hard questions are asked. That doesn't look very good for someone who's supposidly dedicated to truth.”

Some comments and questions people make are not worth wasting font to address…but fair enough, I leave not because I want to, but because I manage a lot of things that need attention.

If you truly want to discuss then e-mail me: challengingreddyneck@yahoo.com

If not, then I'll know you are just another loudmouth wanting to vent from the safety of his keyboard.

Uh, what? In don't understand what millions of Hungarians has anything to do with what I was saying. My point was you're claiming telling the TRUTH about what you co-coreligionists were doing is "spin", just as one might say that it's "spin" to report on the evils of the Nazi party. Really, it's not as complicated as you make it sound.

And I'd love to e-mail you, though I admit I'm not sure what you want me to e-mail you about. Why not continue this conversation here, it seems more natural to me. I'll be sure to e-mail you if I feel there is something you didn't answer in a previous topic though.

Some interesting notes about your numbers of native Americans:
"Historian David Henige has argued that many population figures are the result of arbitrary formulas selectively applied to numbers from unreliable historical sources. He believes this is a weakness unrecognized by several contributors to the field, and that there is not sufficient evidence to produce population numbers that have any real meaning. He characterizes the modern trend of high estimates as "pseudo-scientific number-crunching." Henige does not advocate a low population estimate; rather, he argues that the scanty and unreliable nature of the evidence renders broad estimates suspect, and that "high counters" (as he calls them) have been particularly flagrant in their misuse of sources.[3] Many population studies acknowledge the inherent difficulties in producing reliable statistics, given the scarcity of hard data."

Also it was mostly due to disease, which could hardly be controlled.

40 million sounds about right for communism, which like Islam and Nazism is another form of fascism.

Er, sorry. You said 100s of millions which sounds right.

Yea, my bullshit detector has been spiked all afternoon... can only mean the Slave is back peddling his spin on history and religion.

Nazis were not Christians, dope. They were pagans. The least used definition of religion is: "a cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion." Inasmuch as most atheists mind their own business, they can hardly be considered zealots and therefore, to them, atheism is not a religion. It's just what makes them happy.

Your claim that whites caused the demise of 25M Indians is specious crap, supported as well as the stupid assertions that Muslims brought culture and science yada yada yada to the world. Bullshit.

No colonial enterprise in history has as much blood on its hands as does the ignorant, outrageously delusional aggression for the sheer sake of slaughter that Islam does.

AM, you continue to be worse than a liar, worse than a fool. You're a tool of something you'll never understand. And I'm fine with that, dirtbag.

Foolster,

E-mail brings out the truth and the best in people. This medium only brings out the "smart ass" comments and the "one upsmanship" type exchanges.

Data on Smallpox Genocide:

"The postscript in the letter from Amherst to Bouquet, written several months after Ecuyer had handed out two smallpox blankets at Fort Pitt, stated, "Could it not be contrived to send the Small Pox among those disaffected tribes of Indians? We must on this occasion use every stratagem in our power to reduce them."

Bouquet replied that he would try and use infected blankets as a means of introducing the disease among the Indians, but was wary of the effects that it would have on his own men...at least twenty-five percent or more of Bouquet's soldiers would have been susceptible to the smallpox virus.

There is no evidence that Col. Bouquet took any action on Amherst's letter, but while Fort Pitt was under Indian siege, Captain Ecuyer wrote to Bouquet...

"Out of our regard for them (two Indian chiefs) we gave them two blankets and a handkerchief out of the smallpox hospital. I hope it will have the desired effect (William Trent)." "

There is no hard evidence where we can say "Aha! Caught you!" red handed as it were... it was discussed among military personnel with access to biological weapons and then it was acted upon by those same people.

Yes, indeed, disease killed many.

AM: #1) Communism ( Atheism ) is a religion.

Wrong. Communism is a political system. Atheism is the absence of theism.

#2) “Manifest Destiny”, the white man’s religion of Western Expansionism, twenty five million Native Americans died because of it.

Post proof or retract. I am not saying that no Native American Indians died but you can't just think of a number and make it so. I know that works for moslems and their numbers of faithful, but not on this topic.

#3) Colonial Imperialism – don’t know exactly, but it’s a damned high number since only one small country escaped Colonialism, and they were predominantly Christians.

What about the Japanese treatment of Korean and Chinese people?

Throughout history most societies made their best efforts to impose their will on surrounding societies but we're better than that now.

I understand that moslems display the same tendencies they did back when the cult was invented by a psychotic, epileptic, desert thug who molested children but you should be encouraging your kind to embrace education and science and discard superstition.

Muhammad said, "If someone leaves his Islamic religion, then kill him." He said some variation of that several different times, according to the traditions Muslims consider most reliable (such as Sahih Bukhari). That's apparently why the four main Sunni schools and the four main Shia schools of Islamic law all call for the death penalty for people who leave Islam. Do you support this part of Muhammad's behavior, AbdullahMikail?

Ah ... more of the joys of Isam exported to the West.

"The Trash of Islam

The Egyptian city of Cairo, the largest city in the Arab world and the "timeless city" of Obama's Cairo speech, is suffering from a garbage crisis. The crisis has a very simple cause, the pigs that used to eat the garbage were killed to prevent the spread of Swine Flu. The pigs living in "Garbage City" had served as both organic garbage disposals and food sources for the Zabaleen, families of marginalized Christian Copts who made a living by collecting the garbage, reselling the inorganic garbage and feeding the organic garbage to pigs. The system worked fine so long as there were pigs, but without the pigs, Cairo's streets are filled with giant mounds of rotting garbage.
[...]
the capital of what passes for Arab Muslim civilization, depended on a class of "untouchable" garbage collectors as young as eight years old, and their pigs to keep the city from drowning in its own garbage. A system that is not simply medieval, but pre-medieval, that seems positively Bronze Age. But that is only because the Arab Muslim nations are not actually civilizations in the modern sense, they are post-colonized tribal clumpings with bits and pieces of borrowed governmental structures and technology that never quite work right. And underneath them is something far darker and more primitive, a miserably brutal and ruthless Levantine existence defined not by moral laws, but by tribal ones. And underneath them all are the pigs. Kill the pigs, and the system collapses.
It isn't just about the piles of reeking trash in Cairo's streets. The Arab and Muslim world has been exporting far more dangerous forms of waste in the forms of immigration and Islamic radicalism. Virtually every Arab rulers balances the tension between national allegiance and Islamic law by exporting terrorism abroad, whether it is Arab governments funding suicide bombers in Israel, rabid mosques in Oslo and Manchester or Al Queda hijacked planes racing toward Manhattan-- the homelands of Islam have been calculatedly dumping the garbage they don't want on foreign shores."
http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2009/09/trash-of-islam.html

AM, you will buy into any anti-white rhetoric you can find, won't you?

However, there is not a shred of evidence that this plan (Smallpox laden blankets) was actually carried out. Conspicuous by its absence is any letter indicating that either of them took any action on the plan. It is inconceivable that such a letter, if it existed, would not have been found, with the armies of revisionist historians undoubtedly searching for it. Since smallpox was known to be in the area at the time, any disease outbreak among the Indians would prove little.

In those days, smallpox was epidemic throughout Europe and North America. Contact between the two continents spread this and other diseases through the population. Just as the European continent had been ravaged by plague after contact with Asia, the Indian population had been decimated by smallpox and other diseases unintentionally brought from Europe. Pocahontas, for example, an Indian who was idolized by the British, died tragically in Britain from pulmonary disease.

Of course this explanation doesn't fit your agenda as neatly, does it?

You are taking a quote from the letter out of context, much the same way you continually accuse of of doing with your comic book cult guide quran.

It's just more Lefticle, white-hating propaganda.

My guess is that AbdullahMikail(if that is his real name) is a moonbat lefty, pretending to be a loony Mohammedan(may crackling and applesauce be upon him).

mmmmm crackling!!!

Just as Abdullah Mikail on another nearby thread pulled out from the Taqiyya Manual Tactic #378 (claim that any given atrocity committed by a Muslim is just an "ordinary crime" by which all societies are beset), here he pulls out two other tactics -- #234 (Tu Quoque about the alleged smallpox blankets genocide of Injuns) and #751 (the statistics tactic: this particular NYC threat reflects only a tiny statistical chance and shouldn't be overblown). Both tactics have more holes than the Holy Koran.

OK, we said to give us "your tired and your poor", even "your huddled masses" (although I have never personally met a huddled mass).

But that was it.

Oh, and now that Kennedy is safely dead can we repeal that insane immigration law?

Father J L Menezes

WOW. Where can one find his expose? I'd never heard of him,
when did he live/write?

Spirit of 1683 - I find it very telling that Fr J L Menezes reproduces almost exactly (though at much greater length) the observations of an American soldier who described the beliefs and habits of the Muslim 'hill Moros' of the southern Philippines.

Fr J L Menezes - "a religion founded on fatalism, polygamy and slavery".

John Keats, from 'They Fought Alone' (1953), a book about the Filipino and American guerrilla resistance to the Japanese invasion of the Philippine Islands,specifically Mindanao, during WW2 - "These hill Moros ...live according to the Koran as interpreted by some illiterate, flea-bitten imam who heard from some crooked hadji what was supposed to be in the Holy Book. What they get out of it boils down to *polygamy, slavery and brutality* {my emphasis added - dda}." (pg. 56).

(A jihadwatch poster calling himself 'Thors Hammer' drew this interesting passage to our attention here, some time ago - he had found it while reading the book in which it occurred).

Query: 'Spirit of 1683' - where precisely in Fr J L Menezes' works does that splendid denunciation of Islam, which you just quoted at length, appear? Can you give us the name of the book (or title of article and name of journal in which published), date of publication, and the page numbers, etc?

I am squirrelling it away in my 'famous quotes about Islam' collection and I would like to be able to give it a proper academic-style footnote (after all, 14 years ago I *did* do a PhD, which taught me to Reference, Reference, Reference, as well as Save, Save, Save).

Islam is Islam - I just did a quick trawl of the internet.

Fr J L Menezes was a Catholic priest who spent most of his career in India. There he had plenty of time to observe the local Mohammedans. His main work - "The Life and Religion of Mohammed" - was first published in 1912. It can still be got hold of today; and I suspect that if you poke around in the bowels of the older and larger university and city libraries you may be able to unearth a copy. I haven't checked yet whether Project Gutenberg has digitised it.

The wikipedia article doesn't mention any other works by Fr Menezes, so ...Spirit of 1683, did you find that magnificent j'accuse in Menezes' book on Mohammed? If so: page numbers, or at least the title of the chapter in which it appears.

Not all of us may necessarily have the time to track it down, or the budget to buy it; so we need to know where that juicy bit comes from, and how typical it is of the book as a whole.

B-but they'll like us more if we elect Obama

*crickets*

He wrote that piece back in 1912 I think - long before political correctness infested the West.

That piece by J L Menezes comes around page 140 in THE LIFE AND RELIGION OF MOHAMMAD. By J. L. Menezes. (Roman Catholic Books, P.O. Box 2286, Fort Collins, Colo. 80522, 1912/2005 reprint), 194 pp. HB $24.95.

And part of another review

http://islamicdangerhistory.blogspot.com/2008/03/prophet-of-arabia.html

Because of its use of Jewish and Christian ideas in a sense one can say that it is a Jewish and Christian heresy. Fr. Menezes says, “with all its positive and negative laws [it] has been a curse to human society” (p. 140). He also says that Mohammed has given “to the whole world a religion which, claiming a divine origin as the final and irrevocable standard of morality, has kept its followers sunk in ignorance and barbarism, and has become an insuperable barrier to the regeneration, civilization and progress of the Eastern world” (p. 142).
