RS, I didn't post this link to give Michael a hard time. I just thought Fnord's refutation of all your "data" was pretty hilarious......

excuse me, this was the link with comments in the 120 related to my previous comment above...

Those who love freedom and will fight for it seem to have a never ending job. Time and time again the forces of repression challenge free people with the pathetic control-freak ideology du jour. No two full democracies have gone to war against one another over the past century. In EVERY martial conflict over this time period at least one of the two sides has not been fully democratic. Democracies are not a guarantee that war will not occur but they are the closest damn thing to a guarantee mankind will ever see.

Imperial Germany and its allies in WWI were not real democratic states. Authoritarianism existed in them more or less (e.g., the Chancellor of the Second Reich was not answerable to the German legislature but rather to the Kaiser; the Ottoman Empire was not only a sick old man but also a typical Muslim polity which allowed little freedom). In WWII the enemies of liberty were ruthless, tyrannical states. In a bitter irony of history, the free societies of mankind in WWII had to align with a true enemy of liberty in Stalin's Russia, but exigent circumstances sometimes demand alliances that are practical but not admirable. Welcome to Realpolitik.

Now Islam has reawakened with all its ugliness and is vexing free nations with its warped and freedom-crushing agenda. Much blood will be spilled again before the wiser element of mankind puts the worst example of spiritual totalitarianism in its place once and for all. Damn Islam for this, a putrid production of mankind if ever there were one. But hail to the soliders of free peoples who have to pay the price again and again to end what the worst of mankind continues to hold up as a model for all to follow. One couldn't find a finer example of this folly than Islam itself.

I always wondered why this was never deconstructed here.

You all might enjoy the general thrust of this blog.

I am being sarcastic of course.

I would place Mr. Lang in countra-position to Mr. Spencer....

Correction to the above.

'The Barbarism of Berlin' was written in 1914, not in 1915.

Yet again this year, Armistice Day comes amid bloody jihad attacks and attempts at further mass-murder.

Well, as a baseball fan I always love watching new talent come up and flower before the multitudes. I loved it when Dwight Gooden rocketed to the top almost overnight for the Mets. And how about Joe Mauer and Justin Morneau, the M&M Boys for the Twins?

*** 8:12 ***

Known to western intelligence services by the alias Saif al-Adel, or "Sword of the Just", al-Qaeda's new chief of international operations is believed to have conceived of the wave of strikes that set off terror alerts across Europe recently, as well as last week's mid-air parcel-bomb plot.

And now we have this young Saif al-Adel fella. He has been called up from the minors by general manager Osama bin Laden, Harvard Man, and put into the center of the Mass Murder Arena that sits at the center of Islam.

He's started tossing in some very serious curve balls with the spin of the 6th Pillar of Islam, impressing the fans with his pinpoint control. Now they anxiosly await further reports of his development in the booming sports entertainment field of Jihad terror war mass murder.

Me? I think he'll greatly please his fan base by making a big bang. Maybe in the belly of a Boeing 757 or an Airbus 350, or maybe in Times Square. Something like that. But this kid, young Saif al-Adel, has great promise.

DDA- I am just finishing Tuchman's Guns of August and am anxious to read your Chesterton reference. They apparently cover nearly the same period.

Wellington - just from Tuchman I can appreciate your analysis of Prussian militarism, and how Hitler was a natural follow-up to the barbarism inflicted under the Kaiser.

Three "isms" down in the XX century; two more to go, so far, for Century XXI.

Thank you to All of our service men and women ...poster "Boneshack", in particular :)

Happy Veterans' Day to all.

"Jihad of the poppy"

(Melanie Phillips)

http://www.spectator.co.uk/melaniephillips/6459340/jihad-of-the-poppy.thtml

a mosque, anywhere, i.e., "place of battle," if not currently active in jihad is by Islamic definition a sleeper cell.

Sooo... Muslims burning poppies in effigy? The real thing could probably be arranged.

"Burning Poppies to Celebrate the English Caliphate"

http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2010/11/burning-poppies-to-celebrate-english.html

Please read “A Tale of two Europes”, or “looking for transcendence” by George Weigel.

It examines Benedict’s XVI and the president of the European Union Council Herman Van Rompuy appeal to Europe, and by extension the West, to draw from two different sources of transcendence.
While one of them is essential for the West’s survival the other assures its ultimate demise. Although the article doesn’t mention Islam in one word it is obvious (to me) that if the West doesn’t find, or rather recover, its original source of the transcendence the direct cause of its demise will be Islam. I believe so because in the clash of civilizations that have developed around their respective religions the one that lost its connection to the past and trades its spiritual identity for a “way of living” must give in to one spiritually dynamic and aggressive.
Yes, I know, the spirit animating islam is evil, or from the Devil if you wish, but it motivates and galvanizes its followers to incomparably higher degree than the ideas of democracy, free speech, homosexual or women or animal rights etc. inspire the peoples of the West.
Besides, their armies are on our territories an growing.

Anyway, here it is: www.nationalreview.com/articles/print/253063
I think it is a must read.

The following is a correction to the summary, that I, in a comment in the comments section of a previous post on this web site (the post named "Obama in Indonesia slams Israel, says more work is needed to improve ties with Islamic world" ( http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/11/obama-in-indonesia-slams-israel-says-more-work-is-needed-to-improve-ties-with-islamic-world.html#comment-728851 )) wrote, of the history, from 1917 to 1967, of the situation that Israel is in.

In that summary, that I wrote, of that history, I wrote, inaccurately, that the British army, along with the armies of five Arab countries, attacked Israel several days after Israel was voted a country by the then-newly-founded United Nations by a majority vote in 1948. What is my understanding of what is, in fact, the case is that British troops fought alongside the army of Jordan in that Muslim Arab self-proclaimedly intendedly genocidal attack on Israel launched by the armies of five Arab states in 1948, and my understanding of what is the case is that the British army, as a whole, did not participate in that Muslim Arab attack on Israel in 1948.

In reply to my comment in which I wrote that summary of the history of the situation, commenter traeh wrote a comment in which he wrote that it was his understanding that the British government had provided military assitance to the Arab armies during that attack on Israel, but that it was not his undestanding that the British army, as a whole, had fought against Israel in that attack.

I, in a subsequent comment, replied to traeh that I thought that he was correct and that it was my understanding that British troops had fought along side the Jordanian army against Israel, and that I thought that the British army, as a whole, did not fight against Israel, and I wrote that I thought that there may be some other errors in that summary, that I wrote, of the history of the situation (which were errors that I wrote that I thought were minor errors and which were errors that I wrote that I thought may include dates being off by one or two or so years). I have reviewed that summary, that I wrote, of the history of the situation, and it is now my understanding that there are no errors in that summary, that I wrote, of the situation, other than what may be one, or two, or so, dates being off by one, or two, or so, years.

The following are additional facts of, and what is my understand that are additional facts of, the history of the situation.

In 1920, Amin al-Husseini (Mohammad Amin al-Husseini), a member of the Arab aristocratic Husseini family, incited, and caused, murderous Arab riots against Jewish people in the British Mandate of Palestine

In 1921, after Amin al-Husseini, in 1920, incited and caused murderous Arab riots against Jewish people in the British Mandate of Palestine, British officials appointed Amin al-Hussieni to the position of Grand Mufti of Jerusalem. In 1921, the British government appointed Jack Philby to one of the most influential positions of management of the British Mandate of Palestine. Jack Philby was a British Intelligence officer, a self-professed Socialist, and was well-know to his colleagues as being a fervent hater of the Jewish people, and was a fluent speaker of Arabic, and, in 1930, converted to Islam, and, in the 1930's, illegally provided, and illegally profitted from providing, petroleum from Muslim Arab states to the Nazi (National Socialist) regime of Germany.

In the 1930's, British officials supported and facilitated Arab murderous anti-Jewish riots in, and Arab massacres of Jewish people in, the British Mandate of Palestine. During those Arab murderous anti-Jewish riots and Arab massacres of Jewish people, British officials prevented Jewish people from defending themselves, and punished Jewish people who defended themselves during those Arab murderous anti-Jewish riots and Arab massacres of Jewish people, and charged with murder, and put to death, Jewish people who killed Arab attackers during those Arab murderous anti-Jewish riots and Arab massacres of Jewish people.

In 1935, Amin al-Husseini created the Palestinian Arab Party as part of the Nazi-influenced Nazi-allied Arab Nationalist movement. With the Palestinian Arab Party, Amin al-Husseini created a terrorist youth corps division, al-Futuwwa, which Amin al-Husseini officially called the Nazi Scouts, and whose structure Amin al-Husseini modeled on the youth corps of the Nazi regime of Germany, the Hitler Youth. Amin al-HUsseini, using al-Futuwwa, murdered Arab leaders in the British Mandate of Palestine who opposed him and who were not opposed to the creation of a Jewish state alongside an Arab state in the part of the British Mandate of Palestine that had not been made into Transjordan by British officials.

The majority of, or all of, the land that the Jewish people who, in the early part of the 20th century, were engaged in the Jewish liberation and self-determination movement - the Zionist movement - the endeavor of rebuilding the Jewish country, Israel - developed and cultivated was land that those Jewish people bought, at exorbitant prices, from Arab landowners, who in many cases, or in most cases, or in all cases, were Arab absentee land owners. Those Jewish people constituted the Yishuv - the Jewish community in the British Mandate of Palestine who were cultivating the land of and rebuilding the country of the Jewish people, Israel.

In the 1930's, many Arab people from areas in the Middle East outside of the part of the British Mandate of Palestine that had not been made into Transjordan by British officials, migrated to the then-thiving Yishuv community seeking, and finding, work.

From the 1930's to throughout the 1940's, British officials closed off all Jewish migration to the British Mandate of Palestine and barred entry to the British Mandate of Palestine by, and turned back, all Jewish people who were seeking entry into the British Mandate of Palestine who were fleeing from Europe who were trying to escape from being murdered by the members of Nazi regime of Germany and from being murdered by the members of the Nazi-allied Fascist regimes and militias in Europe.

The Following is What Must Be Done

In order to protect the Jewish people in the country of the Jewish people, Israel, from being mass-murdered by the Islamic-Supremacist regime of Iran and its proxies, and in order to protect the whole world from being violently attacked by, and infiltrated by, and taken over by, and subsequently enslaved by, the modern Islamic-Supremcaist political movement, Jewish people, and non-Jewish people, and, most importantly, the members of the government of Israel, need to honestly, accurately, clearly, effectively communicate the factual currently 90 year history and current reality of the situation the Israel is in to the members of the governments of Western countries and to the whole world.

Most importantly, in order to wake up the members of the societes of Western free democratic countries to the nature of the modern Islamic-Supremacist political movement, the Nazi German history and legacy of the 'Palestinian movement', which was founded by Amin al-Husseini, who was a member of, and an early leader of, the Muslim Brotherhood, and who was an adjoined official of the Nazi Regime of Germany, and who was the co-architech the genocide of the Jewish people in Europe by the Nazi regime of Germany, and who was the mentor of, and an uncle of, Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat (Mohammed Yasser Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini), who, in 1954, in Egypt, founded Fatah under the guidance of Amin al-Husseini, must be communicated to the societes of Western free democratic countries.

IMPORTANT FACTS OF THE EVENTS OF THE PAST HUNDRED YEARS THAT ARE FACTS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THE WORLD

The following are facts of, and, in some cases, are what I think are facts of, events of the past hundred years which are facts that, and, in some cases, are what I think are facts that, in comments that I posted in the comments section of that post, I wrote about, and which are facts of which some are facts that, and which, in some cases, are what I think are facts of which some are what I think are what I think are facts that, commenter Wellington challenged me about and made countering arguments about, which were arguments that I, in appeasement, wrongly conceded to, and are facts that, and, in some cases, are what I think are facts that, are important to understand in order to understand the current situation in the world.

With my writing the following facts, and things which I think are facts, it is not my intention to blame or offend.

With my writing the following facts, and things which I think are facts, it is my intention to inform, in order to make the current situation better.

The 1930's and Today - What Happened in the 1930's is Happening Now

The following are articles which describe the collusion of American academia and other Western academia with the Nazi regime of Germany in the 1930's.

"Antisemitic Myths in the American Academy: Blacks, Jews and Nazis", A Symposium at The Vidal Sassoon International Center for the Study of Antisemitism at Hebrew University in Jerusalem (Video); The first part of the symposium is a talk by Prof. Stephen H. Norwood about the collusion of Western academia with the Nazi regime of Germany during the 1930's. In his talk, Prof. Norwood documents, among other things, the following.
O The commradery and collusion between the ethnically West European American industrialist and financier alumni and Nazi German officials who were hosted guests of, and, from what I remember from hearing the talk, was, in at least one case, an alumni of, Harvard University
O The refering to as being "ridiculous", the complaints of Jewish people who, and the few non-Jewish students who, voiced opposition to the hosting of those German Nazi officials by Harvard University
O The expulsion, by the administrators of the University, of students who opposed the hosting and collusion of those Nazi German officials by the administrators of University
O The student exchange programs between American and other Western Universities with Nazi German Universities (which had at that time already been purged of Jewish faculty and students), while the persecution against the Jewish people in Germany, at that time in the 1930's, was being reported (barely) in the American press, and was well known to all of the administrators of those Western Universities

In the 1920's, the Jewish-conspiracy-theory-propagating, anti-Jewish, intendedly hate inciting, European fictional propaganda book "Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" was published and circulated in West European countries and was believed to be true by members of the political, and academic, and journalistic classes in Britain. On May 12, 1920, The Times of London published a long article, titled "A Disturbing Pamphlet: A Call for Enquiry", about the "Protocols of the ELders of Zion". The following is the last line of the article: "Have we, by straining every fibre of our national body, escaped a 'Pax Germanica' only to fall into a 'Pax Judaica'?"".

In the 1920's, the automobile manufacturing industrialist Henry Ford sponsored the dissemination of "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" in the United States, and disseminated the ideology of "The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion" in a series of articles called "The International Jew: The World's Foremost Problem" in his newspaper The Dearborn Independent.

Anti-Jewish bigotry was pervasive in the United States in the 1930's. I think that it was a widespread belief in Europe and the United States that "Jewish bankers" controlled the economy of the world and that "The Jews" controlled the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, some the members of whose administration were Jewish (and were people who were Jewish who were in positions of power who, out of normal ethnically Jewish-European fear of being hated for being perceived by ethnically non-Jewish ethnically European to be advocating for the well-being of Jewish people, did not act to protect the Jewish people from harm; were "Court Jews").

In the 1930's, people in Western countries, and especially people in Europe, had been traumatized by World War I, and, in the 1930's, people in Western countries wanted to avoid any form of conflict.

In the 1930's, in Western countries, some Socialists, and so-called "Liberal" self-described "Pacifists" defended the Nazi regime of Germany and verbally attacked Jewish people who were advocating for opposition to the Nazi regime of Germany, and called Jewish people who were advocating for opposition to the Nazi regime of Germany "Warmongers".

The following is a talk in which by Dr. Simcha Epstein describes this phenomena.

"Are We Reliving the 1930s? How West European Philo-Semites became Anti-Semites before the Second World War", a talk by Dr. Simcha Epstein (Video)

In Britian in the 1930's the student body of either Oxford University or Cambridge University signed a petition in which they declared their opposition to any opposition by the government of Britian to the Nazi regime of Germany.

I think that The Nazi movement in Germany in the 1920's was begun by, and led by, academics, and I think that the anti-Jewish pro-Nazi movement in Western countries in the 1930's was begun by, and led by, academics.

In the 1930's, one of the few people who advocated opposing the Nazi regime of Germany was Winston Churchill, who, at that time was a Conservative member of the Parliament of Britian, and who fervently advocated opposing the Nazi regime of Germany and was mocked and scorned and reviled and ridiculed by his fellow members of Parliament in Britian for doing so.

The members of the government of Britain resisted opposing the Nazi regime of Germany until Nazi Germany invaded Poland in 1939 and thereby broke a treaty that Adolf Hitler, the leader of the Nazi regime Germany, had made with then Prime Minister of Britain, Neville Chamberlain.

The government of the United States of America did not enter into the war against Nazi Germany until after the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in 1941.

The government of the United States refused to accepted Jewish people who were trying to flee from Europe during the 1940's. The governments of almost all Western countries refused to accepted Jewish refugees during the 1940's. Britain allowed refuge in Britain to some very few (I think a few hundred or less) Jewish people who were fleeing from the Nazi regime of Germany in Europe, but members of the government of Britian also engaged in a diplomatic campaign to prevent, and the granting of refuge in any Western country of any Jewish people who were trying to flee from being murdered by the Nazi regime of Germany in Europe.

During the 1930's and 1940's, The New York Times, a newspaper whose owners were ethnically Jewish-European and politically "Liberal", deliberately - out of common Jewish-European deep profound fear of being seen as advocates of the Jewish people by ethnically non-Jewish ethnically European people - played down and hid the reality of the persecution of the Jewish people in Germany by Nazi regime of Germany, and then played down and hid the reality of the subsequent mass-murder of the Jewish people in all of Europe by the Nazi regime of Germany.

During the 1930's and 1940's, leaders of so-called 'Jewish Organizations' in the United States, deliberately - out of common Jewish-European deep profound fear of being seen as advocates of the Jewish people by ethnically non-Jewish ethnically European people - sabotaged efforts by some Zionist Jewish people and by other Jewish people, to rescue Jewish people in Europe from being murdered by the Nazi regime of Europe.

If, in the 1930's, the governments of Western countries had non-violently opposed the Nazi regime of Germany, and had, with non-violent skillful actions, prevented Germany from becoming militarily powerful, World War II, and the mass-murder of almost all of the Jewish people in Europe - the mass-murder of approximately six million men, women, and children - by the members of the Nazi regime of Germany and by many of the millions of supporters of the Nazi regime of Germany, would have been averted and would not have taken place.

The governments and societies of Western countries, in some cases, allowed, and in other cases, actively participated in, the mass-murder of almost all of the Jewish people in Europe.

Soon after World War II, Allan Dulles, the then-head of the newly-founded CIA, recruited several thousand German former officials of the Nazi regime of Germany to the CIA. Those German former officials of the Nazi regime of Germany formed the founding bulk and core of the CIA. The Nazi regime of Germany was an ideologically-based political regime whose members were all adherents of its ideology, and which was an ideology whose central belief was the belief in an evil world-wide Jewish conspiracy to destroy what the members of the Nazi regime of Germany called "Christian civilization", and was an ideology whose central goal was the annihilation of the Jewish people. The fact that the founding membership of the Secret Service agency of the United States of America was constituted mainly of several thousand former officials of the Nazi regime of Germany is not trivial. The fact that this is rationalized as being "acceptable" by, and is considered trivial by, some people is a manifestation of the deep profound engrained nature of anti-Jewish bigotry in Western society. The Nazi regime of Germany was fully supported by, and endorsed by, the Christian Catholic Church. The fact that the Nazi regime of Germany was fully supported by and endorsed by the Christian Catholic Church is not trivial. The fact that the Nazi regime of Germany was fully supported by, and endorsed by, the Christian Catholic Churcht is ignored and denied by millions of people in Western societies is a manifestation of the deep profound engrained nature of anti-Jewish bigotry in Western society. The CIA and the State Department of the United States of America have, for several decades, been engaged in an effort to undermine the country of the Jewish people, Israel. This is not trivial.

Western (Culturally Christian-European) Anti-Jewish Bigotry and The Role It Plays in The Current Situation in The World

The following is an essay that was posted, as multiple comments, by an anonymous commenter, on a post on the blog A Liberal Defence of Israel ( http://mid-eastplus.blogspot.com ), which is a blog by Denis Maceoin.

http://mid-eastplus.blogspot.com/2010/07/lies-lies-and-lies-about-lies.html?showComment=1279117634509#c4188327328578745386

Today, there are many countries that have a profound sense of cultural identity, which clearly shows in their traditional approach to answering life's great questions by way of religion.

Many countries for instance adhere to traditional Buddhist concepts that have shaped their identity, like Japan, Taiwan or Thailand. Hinduism has shaped India. Many countries on the other hand recognize themselves as inheritors of Christian traditions (at the very least in the nominal sense), and quite a lot of others would define themselves as Islamic states by default. (even if some of them are officially considered secular governments)

Alas, some religious adherents are likely to emphasize and embrace a particular part of their traditional religious ideology as one of the main core concepts, making all spiritual content de facto redundant. To such fanatics, Anti-Semitism overrules all ethical/spiritual concepts such a religion might hold.

Regardless of my own opinions on religion (being a secular humanist, rather than religiously inspired in any way), I find it strikingly odd that there seems to be such an awful lot of disproportionate opposition to the notion of Zionism as a logical outcome of Jews' desire to constitute the boundaries of a nation-state that has its profound roots in Judaism. It is quite clear to me that the concept of cultural identity stems from a longing to feel secure and united among those who share a more or less common culture and ancestry and share the same vision on what the future of this cultural identity should look like. A nation-state therefore is the best means to preserve cultural identity. It is quite worrying today that Western self-proclaimed intelligentsia have taken it upon them to pursue the inherent Anti-Semitic rhetoric which is inherent to Islam as a totalitarian ideology, to revile the policies of a nation like Israel, whereas the same people would never find cause to stick their noses in the internal policies of other nation-states, such as the ones mentioned above.

This more or less suggests to me the ridiculous claim of the Left that Anti-Semitism and Anti-Zionism can be treated as separate issues is just a ruse, and basically not worth getting into further, seeing as the Left would never admit to being wrong. Therefore, being nitpicky on such a matter is futile when addressing the 'Moonbat International' directly. Anti-Zionism fits snugly into the main concept of anti-Judaism as a whole in my mind. So there IS a point in outlining the issue from a general perspective, rather than from a polemical one: the mere fact that so many self-declared 'morally righteous' intellectuals display such a great deal of criticism of Israel's policies (while others consistently get off scot-free) is evidence enough of the fact that both are intertwined.

Europe in particular has long carried the first wave of Anti-Semitism, starting with the advent of Christianity and the globalisation of Roman-Catholicism and therefore predating Islamic Anti-Selitism by at least 600 years. Some people I have debated with in my own personal surroundings have been trying to make me understand that, for instance, there can be no morality without religion. Something I try to disprove in many ways. One of these issues (concerning Christianity in particular) evolves around the concept of some Christians' dogmatic tendency to willy-nilly cling to the historic Christian aversion towards Jews, based on the belief that Jews have actually and intentionally killed God. (Deicide) It is quite odd that such Christians have subscribed to the contemporary Anti-Semitic mythological propaganda of the Liberal left on the one hand, and still seem to think they are able to bludgeon me with the notion that they represent 'Ethical Christianity' ! Conversely, the same also applies to those secular liberals who are marketing their brand of liberalism as ethical, when their Anti-Semitic propaganda seems to be deeply rooted in the same type of Christianity they traditionally proclaim to abhor ! Somehow, I wonder why on earth this concept has emerged intermittently throughout the history of Europe to mobilise people en masse against the cultural entity Jews constitute, and why it seems to have taken precedence over all other issues as of late, to both Christians and secular liberals. In my mind, it would be inhumane to conceive religion in such a way that the vehement a priori hatred of a culturally distinct group should be incorporated by default into a religion that calls itself ethical. (which also makes Islam at fault, in more than one way even, make no mistake about it)

Being shameful enough as this is, it also has spawned many Anti-Semitic conspiracy theories to 'substantiate' the central tenet of Deicide. And as a consequence, such a prejudiced type of thinking has kept re-affirming itself even during the Reformation. (Calvinism, Lutheranism,...etc) Even the mind of Enlightenment thinkers became infested with it. And in the end, it became the staple diet of authoritarian ideologies, such as Nazism and even Stalinism.(Soviet Anti-Semitism was dressed up as Zionology, a term designed to make anti-Semitism look scientifically 'viable')

Anti-Judaism is not a concept that belongs exclusively to either the left or the right, as we well know today. It couldn't be more obvious in 2010 that even those who proclaim to be progressive liberals are still profoundly infected with what is essentially known as a deeply (and humanely uncalled for) Christian concept. Being sceptical of all religions, and specifically when they behave like totalitarian doctrines that incorporate pre-conceived attitudes toward cultural minorities, it seems to me that those who claim to be independent thinkers in this day and age in a sense still behave like medieval paupers mobilised by Christian propaganda to wage war on Jews. And therefore, it should only be natural to them (I suppose) to go committing themselves to the 'Palestinian cause'. Seemingly paradoxical, the Left clings to this cause with the sublimated religious fervor and fanaticism which is akin to medieval European Christianity !

Ridiculous as it may seem, it is quite clear to me that progressive liberals have de-'Christianized' this long anti-Semitic legacy in order to not look bigoted or conservative, but as a matter of fact nothing has changed. Today some Christians still lay emphasis on this despicable legacy of prejudice, alongside neo-Nazis, Leftists and even some secular Humanists, and across political borders they forge bonds with each other on this very issue, and taking Islamic anti-Semitism into account as a means to justify their actions and thoughts, even !

Not being Jewish myself, I can't really understand what makes some people in the Western world seem so deeply 'traumatized' by a type of unquestioned, ill-conceived propaganda that has been handed down from one generation to the next throughout history to still warrant such criticism of Israel. As if some layers of society are profoundly indoctrinated and predestined to cling to Anti-Semitism like the proverbial 'shit to a blanket'. As if they behave like Pavlovian dogs that have been conditioned to drool or bark as soon as the word 'Israel' gets mentioned. Which inevitably begs the question how liberated these so-called liberals really are. Considering the fact that Jews have created a nation-state on the very basis that they couldn't possibly have guaranteed their long-term safety as a cultural entity in Europe at some points in history, it is quite self-explanatory to me that Anti-Zionism = Anti-Semitism. We have no business in meddling with the internal affairs of Israel, unless the point of this would be to openly demonstrate how intolerant we are (!)

Those who want to fanatically cling to the despicable notion that someone is identifiably perpetually guilty of some mythical wrongdoing by default, can't ever expect to point their finger of 'moral supremacy' at me and think they can get away with it unchallenged. Those who make such claims are not ethical to begin with, neither are they morally superior in any way. And whether they like to call themselves Christians or secular liberals or whatever is really beside the point.

However, this doesn't necessarily imply that ALL Christians, or secular liberals are to blame. Quite the contrary, rather. Which means I also recognize the fact that those Christians, liberals, conservatives and secular Humanists (among others) in the West that have abolished this myth of 'Innate Guilt of Jews' from their personal belief system are indeed worthy of the praise that's due to them and the blogs they have created, for they realise, just as I have, that perpetuating such myths can only be attributed to those people who first and foremost want to covet a rotten mind, hating for the sake of hatred itself, and nothing more than that. To me, there is definitely a clear distinction between those who treat religion or secular ideology as a transcendent Absolute Truth that cannot be questioned in any way and those who have criticized the troublesome aspects of religion and politics from a personal viewpoint (both Christians and others alike), in order to adapt and transform both to a belief that envisions religion/philosophy as something that can be truly ethical. As long as religion and ideology behave in a dogmatic fashion and people enslave themselves to tunnel-vision, our society can't possibly call itself liberated in any way, and anti-Semitism will remain part and parcel of a despicable legacy that to some (rather than many, I hope) still has unquestionable 'validity'.

I am afraid though, that this issue has not been adressed sufficiently by some of these blogs however. Although some ideologies that dress up as religions, like Islam, are fundamentally inhumane, this should not make us blind to the fact that some Christian religious fanatics have made common cause with Islamists, just like the Left-wing and neo-Nazis have done. Anti-Semitism in fact is a much older 'tradition' than we would like to be reminded of, regardless of the innate inhumanity of Islam.

The following is a link to an article that presents the nature of the psychology of Western (Christian-European) anti-Jewish bigotry.

The Responsibility of Members of the Republican Party for the Current Situation

The eugenics movement was founded in the United States by wealthy ethnically West-European industrialists and financiers in the United States who, I think, were members of the Republican political establishment of the United States, and who, I think, subsequently financed the Nazi regime of Germany.

I think that senior members of the Republican political establishment of the United States were colluders with the members of, and, subsequently, were supporters of, and colluders with, former members of, the Nazi regime of Germany. The vast majority of the officials of the Nazi regime of Germany, including the majority of the senior officials of the Nazi regime of Germany, were never arrested nor captured nor tried for crimes. The fact that this is the case and that this is ignored, and viewed as being trivial by the Western world, is a demonstration of, and a manifestation of, the deep profound anti-Jewish bigotry that is a normal, normative, engrained part of culturally Christian-European - Christian and post-Christian - culture. The vast majority of the officials of the Nazi regime of Germany lived out, and are living out, their lives as free people, and, I think, continued, and are continuing, their ideology, and developed a strategy of the organization of their political movement as an underground movement, and, I think, formed powerful organizations and commercial corporations.

The original, and the most instrumental, agent in bringing adherents of the Nazi-influenced, formerly-Nazi-allied, modern Islamic-Supremacist political movement into positions of influence in the United States, was Grover Norquist, a member of the Republican political establishment.

The Responsibility of Members of Western Academia for, and The Responsibility of Members of The Democratic Political Party for, the Current Situation

The Jewish-conspiracy-theory-based anti-Jewish anti-Israeli movement in the United States was most influentially instigated by the lie-filled, Jewish-conspiracy-theory-lie-propagating, anti-Jewish anti-Israeli propaganda book "The Israel Lobby" by academics Walt Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt, and by the lie-filled, lie-propagating, anti-Jewish anti-Israeli book "Peace not Apartheid" by former representative of the Democratic party and former President of the United States, Jimmy Carter.

In the book "The Israel Lobby" by John Mearshimer and Stephen Walt, Mearshimer and Walt falsely claim that there is popular support in Israel for the forcible transfer of Arab people, which is falsely claimed popular support that, and which is population transfer that, Mearshimer and Walt denounce. The following is what Israeli journalist Ben Dror Yemini wrote about the policy of population transfer that John Mearsheimer advocated in a situation that did not involve the country of the Jewish people.

"It is interesting, however, that Mearsheimer, who fulminates against Israel for the popular support for transfer, himself wrote in a New York Times op-ed in 1993 that the only solution to the chaos in the Balkans was the creation of "ethnically homogeneous states." Needless to say, as Mearsheimer wrote, "Creating homogeneous states would require transferring populations and drawing new borders""

One of the most influential agents of the political policy of undermining the country of the Jewish people, Israel, is Zbigniew Brzezinski, who was the National Security Advisor of Jimmy Carter during the United States Presidential Administration of Jimmy Carter, and who was the National Security Advisor of Barack Obama.

Zbigniew Brzezinski started the global Islamic-Supremacist movement.

Zbigniew Brzezinski supported the overthrow of the Shah of Iran and orchestrated the bringing to power of the Islamic-Supremacist Ayatolla Ruhollah Khoeini as the ruler of Iran as, and brought to power the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan as, part of an effort that Brzezinski engaged in which he viewed as being an strategic effort to destroy the Soviet Union by unleashing Islamic terrorism against the Soviet Union.

The following is an excerpt of an interview, from 1998, with Zbigniew Brzezinski in the French newspaper Le Nouvel Observateur (Jan 15-21, 1998, p. 76*)

"Brzezinski: What is most important to the history of the world? The Taliban or the collapse of the Soviet empire? Some stirred-up Moslems or the liberation of Central Europe and the end of the cold war?

Q: Some stirred-up Moslems? But it has been said and repeated: Islamic fundamentalism represents a world menace today.

Brzezinski: Nonsense! It is said that the West had a global policy in regard to Islam. That is stupid. There isn't a global Islam. Look at Islam in a rational manner and without demagoguery or emotion. It is the leading religion of the world with 1.5 billion followers. But what is there in common among Saudi Arabian fundamentalism, moderate Morocco, Pakistan militarism, Egyptian pro-Western or Central Asian secularism? Nothing more than what unites the Christian countries."

Zbigniew Brzezinski consciously destroyed two nations, Iran and Afghanistan, of which one, Iran, was an ally of the United States, in order to achieve a goal that he wanted to achieve, and Zbigniew Brzezinski consciously unleashed the global Islamic-Supremacist movement, which he viewed, and, I think, still views, as not being a serious danger to the whole world.

I remember hearing or reading an interview of someone who recounted having a meal with Zbigniew Brzezinski and his wife, and who recounted that Brzezinski's wife began to verbally attack Israel, slandering Israel, and that when he, that person, started to say something to correct her, Brzezinski's wife shouted at him something like, or shouted exactly, "Shut up! You don't know what you're talking about!"

Chatillon,

The conclusion is midway in what I wrote, and is the following.

The Following is What Must Be Done

In order to protect the Jewish people in the country of the Jewish people, Israel, from being mass-murdered by the Islamic-Supremacist regime of Iran and its proxies, and in order to protect the whole world from being violently attacked by, and infiltrated by, and taken over by, and subsequently enslaved by, the modern Islamic-Supremacist political movement, Jewish people, and non-Jewish people, and, most importantly, the members of the government of Israel, need to honestly, accurately, clearly, effectively communicate the factual currently 90 year history and current reality of the situation the Israel is in to the members of the governments of Western countries and to the whole world.

Most importantly, in order to wake up the members of the societies of Western free democratic countries to the nature of the modern Islamic-Supremacist political movement, the Nazi German history and legacy of the 'Palestinian movement', which was founded by Amin al-Husseini, who was a member of, and an early leader of, the Muslim Brotherhood, and who was an adjoined official of the Nazi Regime of Germany, and who was the co-architech the genocide of the Jewish people in Europe by the Nazi regime of Germany, and who was the mentor of, and an uncle of, Egyptian-born Yasser Arafat (Mohammed Yasser Abdel Rahman Abdel Raouf Arafat al-Qudwa al-Husseini), who, in 1954, in Egypt, founded Fatah under the guidance of Amin al-Husseini, must be communicated to the societies of Western free democratic countries.

Pascals' triangle was discovered in China by Yang Hui, before the European Pascal discovered it, Negative numbers were first discovered by chinese, the first gunpowder formula was made by chinese, the first porcelein was made by chinese, the first compass was made by chinese, Chinese ships under Zheng He dwarfed european caravels.

and in Taiwan, a 96% literacy rate has been achieved with chinese characters, in china, it is 90%, chinese characters are much harder to learn than roman alphbet.

In addition, many chinese muslims are fluent and literate in arabic, which also has a much more complex script, in addition to chinese.

in most western countries, i only see people of average intelligence learning another simple indo european language with the same script.

i fail to how this is superior culture and intelligence.

Ten cents says that our exceedingly ill-mannered disruptor 'Maooierywer' is a Hui Muslim...and I wouldn't mind betting, a Muslim supremacist behind his Chinese supremacist mask.

His claim that "many chinese muslims are fluent and literate in arabic" rather makes nonsense of his representation of Chinese Muslims - whether in Taiwan or on the Mainland - as being thoroughly-loyal and acculturated citizens of the circumambient Chinese polities, for to put it bluntly, wherever *else* we see Muslims devoting themselves to 'learning Arabic' (99 % of Arabic literature is about Islam, Islam, Islam) we see Muslims getting all fired up for Jihad.

Uncle Kepha. Uncle Kepha. Where are you?

We need our resident Presbyterian Chinese-American, solidly grounded in Chinese history, to hit this Chinese Muslim with a thundering broadside...in Chinese.

As for Chinese culture. Yes, the Chinese have invented some interesting stuff (and written some beautiful poetry).

But the fact remains, modern science as we know it today, as a formalised intellectual enterprise, only truly took off in the West.

See Toby E Huff - The Rise of Early Modern Science: Islam, China and the West. Or one could also see Ibn Warraq's 'Defending the West'.

Huff's book is mentioned in this comprehensive essay:

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2008/08/fjordman-on-science-and-religion.html

Excerpts:

"...three different civilizations, the Islamic world, the Christian East (the Byzantine Empire) and the Christian West had access to much of the same material, yet ... the end results were quite different".

'The European university system had no real equivalent in any other major civilization in the world at the time.

'As Toby Huff says in his book, page 234:

"We should also not underestimate the magnitude of the step taken when it was decided (in part, following ancient tradition) to make the study of philosophy and all aspects of the natural world an official and public enterprise.

"If this seems a mundane achievement, it is due to our Eurocentrism which forgets that the study of the natural sciences and philosophy was shunned in the Islamic colleges of the Middle East and that all such inquiries were undertaken in carefully guarded private settings.

"Likewise, in China, there were no autonomous institutions of learning independent of the official bureaucracy; the ones that existed were completely at the mercy of the centralized state.

"Nor were philosophers given the liberty to define for themselves the realms of learning as occurred in the West."

Ladies and gentlemen

our Chinese (?) Mohammedan continues with his gross discourtesy, his boasting and ignorant nonsense (he claims it was PLATO who died from drinking the hemlock, when in fact it was *Socrates*!!).

And he claims, forsooth, that Islam does not proscribe music!

Well: for starters, we could list a mountain of reports, from various parts of the Muslim world today, featuring the most zealous Muslims assassinating musicians and blowing up music shops and prohibiting even ring-tones on cell phones and the playing of music over the radio! In the UK, Muslim parents object to their children having music lessons at school; in Iran, music is no longer permitted to be taught in school.

The Qur'an never once mentions music as such (and the verses interpreted as referring to music, do so in a negative manner). Its depictions of paradise contain - unlike Christian descriptions of Heaven - no mention of music or singing whatsoever. And the Hadith persistently disparage music, whether sacred or profane, vocal or instrumental.

Hadee's-e-Qudsi 19:5 (Ahmad) The Prophet said that Allah commanded him to destroy all the musical instruments, idols, crosses and all the trappings of ignorance

(Bukhari 007.069.494v)

Narrated Abu 'Amir or Abu Malik Al-Ash'ari:
that he heard the Prophet saying,

"From among my followers there will be some people who will consider illegal sexual intercourse, the wearing of silk, the drinking of alcoholic drinks **and the use of musical instruments** {my emphasis - dda}, as lawful..."

Here's something a jihadwatch poster unearthed at the 'askimam' website:

http://www.islam.tc/ask-imam/view.php?q=12923

The actual question is not important.
Answer 12923
1. According to Shariah, it is not permissible to watch TV due to the many un-Islamic issues in it.

2. It is also prohibited to listen to music.

Rasulullah (Salla Allahu alayhi wa sallam) said, There will be a nation from my Ummah who will make music their lot one day while enjoying their music and alcohol they will awake with their faces transformed into swine.

In fact, Rasulullah (Salaa Allahu Alayhi wa sallam) said, I was sent to destroy all musical instruments.
Instead of music rather listen to the Holy Quran.

Muslim 24:5279
 - Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger as saying: "The bell is the musical instrument of the Satan." (And so, guided by this Hadith, wherever Muslims conquered, they silenced and destroyed church bells).

From the Umdat as-Salik the Reliance of the Traveller, a compendium of Islamic law that is still circulating freely in the Islamic world:

"...19. Musical instruments are unlawful

pp. 774-775

r40.0 MUSIC, SONG, AND DANCE

MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS 
r40.1

(Ibn Hajar Haytami:) As for the condemnation of musical instruments, flutes, strings and the like by the Truthful and Trustworthy (Allah bless him and give him peace), who
“does not speak from personal caprice: it is nothing besides a revelation inspired” (Koran 53:3-4),
let those who refuse to obey him beware lest calamity strike them, or a painful torment. The Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said:

(1) “Allah Mighty and Majestic sent me as a guidance and mercy to believers and commanded me to do away with musical instruments, flutes, strings, crucifixes, and the affair of the pre-Islamic period of ignorance.”

(2) “On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.”

(3) “Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.”

(4) “This community will experience the swallowing up of some people by the earth, metamorphosis of some into animals, and being rained upon with stones.” Someone asked, “When will this be, O Messenger of Allah?” and he said, “When songstresses and musical instruments appear and wine is held to be lawful.”

(5) “There will be peoples of my Community who will hold fornication, silk, wine, and musical instruments to be lawful ….”

All of this is explicit and compelling textual evidence that musical instruments of all types are unlawful (Kaff al-ra’a’ ‘an muharramat al-lahw wa al-sama’ (y49), 2.269-70)."

And from the Mishkat al Masabih, a popular Hadith collection that one can buy online from Muslim bookshops today, the following two anecdotes about Mohammed's reaction to music:

"None raised up his voice with a song but allah sent him two devils upon his shoulders who beat his chest with their heels till he stopped".

'He [Mohammed] once heard the sound of a flute and put his fingers in his ears and turned to go another way'".

'Al Hadis, book 2, chapter 12, no. 283', and 'Al-Hadis, book 2, chapter 12, no 20'.

Etc.

And then our ill-mannered troll drops his mask altogether and comes out with a classic piece of typically Muslim nonsense. He claims, forsooth, that "in Jordan and Syria, arab christians are like brothers to their arab muslim neighbors". ROFLMAO.

(I observe even he does not *dare* to claim that this is the case in Iraq...the Assyrian Christians have suffered periodic pogroms at the hands of Muslims for centuries, which is why they, who were once the overwhelming majority of the population when the Muslims invaded and took over, are now a tiny, beleaguered minority. As they are, also, by the way, in Jordan and Syria. How does a majority become a minority, over time? DHIMMITUDE, one of the most fiendish systems of oppression ever devised by the depraved human mind).

The mountain of evidence contained in Bat Yeor's "The Dhimmi" and "The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam", says that our Chinese Mohammedan dementor is LYING, flat-out lying. Not to mention the testimony of Antoine Fattal, in his monumental tome on the legal status of the non-Muslims in Muslim lands. And Mark Durie's book on dhimmitude blows the lid right off any claim that Muslims ever treated non-Muslims of any ethnic background like 'brothers' in any land where Muslims ruled.

There is plenty of evidence, today, from Gaza, Judea and Samaria, to show that Arabic-speaking Christians in those areas are abominably treated by the dear ever-lovin' arab muslim bruvvas. And I recall a report from Jordan, of a woman who was murdered by her Muslim family because she was proposing to follow her apostate-to-Christianity husband into his new faith. (The husband had to flee the country).

NOTE.

IF the Chinese/ Mohammedan troll posts again in this thread I will request that he be banned.

There is a limit to how much aggressive posturing and - I suspect - some kind of prepared cut-and-paste spiel - can be put up with.

Wellington and I have felt it necessary to respond to him, but I think he has far outstayed his welcome.

*Especially* in this thread.

I shall now, to take the thread back on topic somewhat, post something that treats of a significant episode in World War One, the taking of Beersheba from the Turkish Muslims and their authoritarian German allies. As an Australian, I feel immensely proud that my fellow countrymen had a part in bringing to an end the cruel centuries of Muslim domination and religio-political repression in at least part of the Holy Land, eretz Israel.

Observe too, by the way, ladies and gentlemen, that our Chinese/ Mohammedan troll makes the usual false claim about 'arabic' numerals.

They were in fact invented by the HINDU INDIANS. They were adopted - *borrowed, copied*, in other words - and transmitted by the Arabs, but those numerals, including especially the zero, *were originally invented by the Hindu Indians*.

NOT by Chinese OR by Arab Muslims.
