We've covered the dawah buses that appeared in various cities a few months ago, but has anyone seen anything like this white truck? In "A Different Kind of Ice Cream," November 23, the estimable Baldilocks recalls a strange visitor to her Los Angeles neighborhood:
[...] At midday, I was in the back of the house in my office--blogging, of course. At some point, a noise entered my consciousness. It was a voice, a tinned one and, as I listened I became aware of three things: that the voice was male, that it was coming out of a bullhorn and that it was repeating the same phrase over and over again. However, I could not make out the words at first. [...]The voice was coming from speakers attached to the type of truck that is sometimes used by ice cream vendors. The truck was spotlessly clean and gleaming white except for the design on the side: the huge blood-red star-and-crescent symbol of Islam.
The occupant had been exhorting the residents of this neighborhood using a two-sentence phrase, most of which I have blocked out of my memory. But I do remember one part and, really, it's the only relevant part. The occupant was advising us to...
"Embrace Islam."
By the time I gained the presence of mind to grab a camera, the gleaming white truck had moved on. I haven't seen it since.
From the time that it came to light the Major Nidal Malik Hasan basically warned the FBI and the Army of what he was--if not of what he was about to do--I've been thinking of that "ice cream" truck and what that particular vendor was selling. Aren't Jihadis required to warn their infidel foes and invite them to convert before any attack?
"Embrace Islam," he said. Left unspoken was the alternative.
The first step is an "invitation" to embrace Islam. When we refuse, then they kill us.
Man up, boys and girls.
Ye gods!
I'm going to have to keep an eye on the ice-cream trucks here in Northern Virginia this summer!
Okay, so, I want to know what would be wrong with us creating an agency something like "1-800-BEA-KAFIR". No, I have nothing like the organizational skills to pull off something like that but it could certainly be a means of job creation (he said, tongue half-way in cheek). Just tap into a whole RANGE of contacts and services for folks who are leaving izlum (without looking back). AND, we could post the message on ice-cream trucks, billboards, brave taxis, bumper stickers, yadda, yadda...
Hey, there's no END of proselytizing from izlum so, why shouldn't an agency like ours reach out and help people who want to get free of izlum? I'm only half-kidding here. Put the izlumists on notice: your time of unfettered poisoning of our way of life is limited.

"I'm a Kafir, He's a Kafir, She's a Kafir, we're a Kafir... wouldn't you like to be a Kafir, to?"
I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself....

I find amusing that despite all the horror caused in the name of Islam, they still have the nerve to proselytize... and we still let them.
Oh wait, that's just horrifying.
"Embrace Islam," he said. Left unspoken was the alternative."
You want the alternative? F Islam. Get it?
Imagine the furor if a truck were to breeze through the neighborhood blaring out Christ is your answer! There would be people characterizing it as a prosecutable offense -- and depending on local ordinances, it just might be. But Embrace Islam...?
We can't have these people in our country any longer.
Evidence of desperation. That's how I see it.
"We can't have these people in our country any longer."
No sh*t!
So much for '31 Flavors.' Now, it's just one...
...too bad it tastes like CRAP.
Good cover for a dope dealer...
"Embrace Islam".
"Breaking up is so hard to do........"
Every time I see as woman with a head covering I get my antenna up. You just cannot trust these people.
Ya, know I am thinking, how by saying what I just said the average person on the street would take this as racist. I guess you could if you were ignorant of the deception and motive behind this. One, they encourage by their wearing this in our county a response like mine. Which if voiced in public makes us look like the bad guy. Two, to the uninitiated they only notice it as a cultural thing and that causes a feeling of pride because we are so accepting.
I am not sure that the muslims even realize this I would attribute to a deeper darker source. Old Satan himself. It also is a public statement of I am not conforming to your society you will accept mine. It is a perfect storm of our attempt at 'culture diversity' with their pride.
I was speaking to the Mohammedan with the bullhorn, not you.
And no ice cream. ;)
Ah, sorry, darcy.
WI:
I agree. Even the plain vanilla version of Islam has fetid undertones. Still, it may sweeten up with a few of them sprinkles.

There is only one solution against the islam: every time we speak with a muslim we must tell him that there is no Allah, and that his religion was only founded to make money. First there will be angry faces, but later on they will be relieved.
For the black American muslims there is something special, The Nation Of Islam, was founded by a ('white') guy from Turkey. Only blacks were 'real' muslims, and white people were devils. But in reality it's different. Somewhere in the Hadith was written what the holy prophet of Allah told when a black man was wounded. The prophet said, leave him be, don't help him, it wouldn't be any good, he is black, and therefor he will never get to heaven. The prophet of Allah was only a filthy racist. It would be time that the black muslims get knowledge of this.
By the way, there are no ice creams for muslims, nowhere in the holy koran there was any mentioning of ice creams, therefor it must be halal for muslims. The same thing goes for trucks and loudspeakers on trucks. (and airplanes and the internet for that matter)
Islam is to silly anyway, can you imagine a God who creates a woman as his last and final work, and then let her live as a slave of a man?
It's not ice cream - there's no good humor in Islam.
As Muhammad reportedly used to say in his messages to the non-Muslim leaders of neighboring territories, "Embrace Islam and you will be safe."
vanhetgoor,
I have some doubt that there is such a hadith with Muhammad saying that a black man won't go to heaven because he is black. Can you provide the reference?
Excellent post, Miss Baldi. And could you imagine the howling from "13 Martyrs" if that ice cream truck had had a picture of the Blessed Mother on it and the voice on the loud speaker was saying the Rosary? The ACLU would have been all over that like a duck on a Junebug.
It's always so amusing to read comments from people like 13 martyrs. In light of recent jihadi activity no one could be that ignorant and still talking about religious "sterotyping", could they? Another conservative who hasn't been mugged yet.
In rural Iowa, we call that a garbage truck. Brought to you by the mass producers of delicious, curly tailed, mohammedan Kryptonite.
So, let's see if I understand this correctly: It's OK for an adherent of Islam to proselytize in a predominantly Christian neighborhood, but it is offensive for a Christian to proselytize in a predominantly Moslem neighborhood.
I think people ought to build a similar van and exhort a predominantly Islamic community to "Embrace Christianity."
I'd love to see what kind of a ruckus that causes in court --assuming they're civil enough to resort to a court of law...
Not necessarily an 'embrace Christianity' van.
But...Christmas approaches. There are other ways of being 'in your face'.
I suggest to Christians in Los Angeles - Anglo, black, Hispanic - that they be particularly *loud* and visible this Christmas, all over the city and suburbs. Form groups and go Christmas-carolling round your neighbourhood. Hold 'carols by candlelight' in parks or on the front lawn/ parking lot of your church, and make lots of loud and joyful noise - as one of the Wesleys once said, 'Sing lustily and with good courage'. Put up Christmas lights and banners with Christian messages, all over your lawn and your front porch or your balcony and windows. Catholics and Episcopalians - hold those Midnight Masses and ring your church bells loud and long at every opportunity.
If you are not actually a professing atheist, at least attend the Christmas day service - so any Muslims going past will be faced with the spectacle of packed-out parking lots and the sound of hundreds of non-dhimmi voices issuing from church buildings.
Before *that*, of course, there is Hanukkah. I don't know how many Jews there are in Los Angeles, but they should make a point of displaying their Hanukkah lights. Los Angeleno Gentiles who have Jewish neighbours might ask, in a friendly way, whether it would be okay to display the lights as well, by way of showing solidarity. (And if you have a Jewish neighbour, friend or colleague, make sure to send them a Hanukkah card).
Let there be light!
Large trucks with posters of the twin towers, Bali 1&2, Beslan, Madrid. Follow up with info about the Armanian genocide.
Now, get these outside of all schools, public events, town halls EVEYWHERE!!~!!
