Plenty more money for the Bank of Jihad. I am not at all surprised that the event was sold out, considering the event was held in the People's Republic of Minnesota. No worthy anti-American cause goes unfunded here.

Pardon me while I barf.

I'd love Keith Ellison and CAIR to explain how Muslims are supposed to work within a secular Democratic Republic and still call themselves practicing Muslims:

sharia law n : the code of law derived from the Koran and from the teachings and example of Mohammed; "sharia is only applicable to Muslims"; "under Islamic law there is no separation of church and state" [syn: shariah, shariah law, sharia, Islamic law]

@Foehammer: "under Islamic law there is no separation of church and state"

Neither is there "consent of the governed" nor "equal protection under the law."

Assalamau Laikum all,

AIG said "If I wasn't such a decent person with some morals, I'd wander in there in a burka and blow us all up".

Some Jihadist rhetroic rubbing on you AIG???...sounds like very sour grapes to me. You can organise your own "anti-muslim" workshop and gather money too...you can even keep some of to keep you afloat while you are unemployed....hey it's a free world out there!

Foehammer...we muslims can only deal in semantics until sharia kicks in...Keith will be one of the instruments in changing the constitution to never ever separate church and state. In the future muslim societies ...we don't want to drift away from Allah SWT like you have for JC (PBUH)...give it a bit of time ...what else do you have to look forward to anyway..

...happy sharia integrating!

Saqib Ali, who was elected to the Maryland House of Delegates (District 39) on November 7... [also in attendance at that CAIR dinner]

Saqib Ali, a Pakistani-American.

Take a look at his hot blonde Anglo-Saxon American wife at her blog:

http://www.alifordelegate.com/blog/

Scroll down on the blog and see the type of average Anglo-Saxon American who supported Saqib Ali after Saqib went door to door introducing himself as candidate in Maryland.

You think Americans get it? We still have a long way to go before millions of Americans connect the dots.

we don't want to drift away from Allah SWT like you have for JC (PBUH)...give it a bit of time ...what else do you have to look forward to anyway..

Greetings Nasseem:

You seem to think that JC has some importance by your (PBUH) attachment after the name.

Does it not trouble you that if the JC that you reference, who is known by the Greek translation "Jesus," was a Jew?

Yet, according to your quaran you are commanded to kill ALL Jews and Christians where ever you find them.

How is it that you seem to accord one Jew with the (PBUH) yet you have a divine mandate from your god to kill such?

Foehammer...we muslims can only deal in semantics until sharia kicks in...Keith will be one of the instruments in changing the constitution to never ever separate church and state...

Well Nasseem, I believe you are correct on this point regarding Keith. Most people running the American government don't believe in the Constitution they swore to uphold in the first place; and most "professing Christian politians" are secular humanists whose only god is cash.

No doubt, they will eagarly haggle away their freedom from shariah for a paultry sum.

However, as I mentioned on a previous thread -- the story doesn't end there. If you haven't thrown away your Bible, you might re-read the words of JC that you felt compelled to append (PBUH) after; particular attention should be paid to Matthew (prophcies fulfilled); John (what JC believed and taught about himself); and Revelations (written by John, follower and student of your JC, and concerns those things yet to be).

Your shariah will kick in but only for about three years -- then we'll see who runs the cosmic show.

I wager my eternity that it ain't allah!

"After reports that he wouldn't, he did after all."
-- from the article above

"And whispering she would ne'er consent -- consented."

That's Byron in "Don Juan."

That particular line by Byron, incidentally, was employed by a Visiting Professor of Law at Yale some years ago. No doubt a wit himself, he used the line of another wit, Byron, to make the point, in a course on Contracts, that an Offer (in the good old matter of Offer and Acceptance) can objectively be accepted, even if the state of mind is not quite there yet.

For his clever use of Byron, he received denunciation for being "sexist" by a few dour female students devoid of senses of humor, or historical sense, or literary finesse, and was asked to apologize. I don't think he did, but he was not asked back to Yale after his try-out term or year had ended.

More piercing intellects will agree that his use of that line entitled him to be not merely considered for, but given, a permanent position. On the spot.

ynkedoodl2,

It reads like a report in the life of one Bill Clinton while he was in the White House.

Posted by: bigcatgirl13106 at November 20, 2006 4:51 PM

It's a great one, Hugh! But it bears so much resemblance to all the other whacko whining when someone of this era quotes something from another era and the whiners from this era get their panties all in a bunch, that it must be true. Can you tell me when it was that our society guaranteed freedom from being offended; freedom from being irritated?

Hi American in Germany,

I was thinking the same thing myself about good ole' Naseem. Is it just me or did "her" English improve about 100% over the past week? I'm guessing she P.O.'d some manly-Muslim-men in her country, they stoned her to death about two years ago and some Islamo-nazis have been using her computer ever since. Either that or her real name is Sybil.

I am deeply concerned about Alarmed Pig Farmer's finances if Sharia ever becomes the law of the land. I think we should all support him this Thursday by eating a nice big spiral cut haram ham along with our turkey. Protein builds strong muscles, which we will need to beat the crap out of any Muslim who thinks they're going to institute Sharia here. So eat your haram ham, keep posting and everyone have a great Thanksgiving.

For the Russian delegation visiting this website in the days before Thanksgiving, at which point I am told they will be returning to Moscow, an excerpt from an article by John Garrard, translated by someone else, and now further but inconsequentially modified by me, in which one of Byron’s heroines (Giulia in “Don Juan”) is compared with one of Pushkin’s (Tatiana in “Evgenij Onegin”):

Пушкина эти сцены, должно быть, немало позабавили, но в особенности он был тронут необычайно нежным отношением Байрона к Юлии, который посвятил ей вдохновенное описание в начале 55-й строфы. Когда Жуан и Юлия становятся наконец любовниками, Байрон избегает традиционного образа опытной женщины, посвящающей молодого человека в радости плотской любви. Юлия предстает перед нами одинокой и нелюбимой женщиной, но сохраняющей верность своему мужу. Она изо всех сил пытается сопротивляться любви, но в конце проигрывает сражение:
A little still she strove, and much repented,
And whispering «I will ne'er consent» consented1.
Она вздохнула, вспыхнула, смутилась,
Шепнула: «Ни за что!» и ...согласилась!2

1 Пишо: «...elle resista un moment encore, gémit de son imprudence, et ce fut en disant tout bas: Je ne consentirai jamais! qu'elle consentit» («...еще мгновение она сопротивлялась, терзалась от своей легкомысленности, и, шепча: «я не подчинюсь», она подчинилась»).
Далее мне придется остановиться на ответе Пушкина на эти знаменитые строки (см. перевод Пишо: Lord B y r o n, Don Juan, v. VI of Oeuvres de Lord Byron. Quatrième edition, entièrement revue et corrigée par A. P....t [Amédée Pichot], Paris. 1823). Последующие цитаты из Пишо приводятся по этому изданию. Именно этим изданием пользовался Пушкин, хотя первые две песни поэмы он прочел во втором издании Пишо. Видимо, Пушкину помогли разобраться с оригиналом поэмы или рассказали о стиле Байрона, так как Пушкин воспроизводит гудибрастические рифмы Байрона, особенно это заметно в первой главе «Онегина» (сэр Гудибрас герой одноименной «ироикомической» поэмы Самюэла Батлера (16121680) «Гудибрас»).

2 Цитаты из «Дон Жуана» даются в переводе Т. Гнедич.

Happy Thanksgiving, Tatiana. And you too, Andrey.

Was anyone really surprised by this? He is a muslim his loyalty does not belong to the USA. He is part of the collective known as the ummah, not as kewl as the borg but with similar results, it corrupts and or destroys everything in its path. The Non PC term for him is infilTRATOR. Keep watching and he will get caught with his hands in someones cookie jar. Just don't expect him to sit still and cause no harm.

A comment left at an American-Muslim blogger's site:

" Yes, the origin of Thanksgiving is secular. But its also nationalist. Canadians don't celebrate it. British? Nope. It is a holiday enacted by the US Congress.

Someone who believes in Allah and the Messenger of Allah does not need the instructions of any Congress to give thanks to the Creator.

Nationalist holidays? Nationalists may celebrate it, but nationalism is not something believing Muslims should adopt- nationalism is the cause of great evil and suffering in the Muslim world and the Prophet Muhammad condemned those who invoke it."

--------

In an unprecedented show of nationalism Three-quarters of the state legislatures will ratify an amendment to the United States Constitution banning all adherents, practices and forms of Islam based on the Qur'an.

The moral of the several successive hadith (or "ahadith") so helpfully presented by "ynkedoodle2" above is that No Man Is A Hero to His Dry Cleaner. Not even in early seventh-century Arabia.

I thought Canada did have Thanksgiving. I thought it was in October.

Islam for Losers,

Yes, you're right of course. Haram ham OR turkey. But it's the sides and my brother announcing at 5:00pm that it's time for turkey sandwiches that is the real keel over connection!

Tonight folks I had my ham a few days before Thanksgiving Day, with a pineapple ring, eggs, a regular/combine sweet potato, and bread. Folks, let us never forget what the pilgrims did and to all who post here, a wonderful, blessed Thanksgiving Day.

Posted by: Isabellathecrusader at November 20, 2006 11:06 PM

All this talk of Thanksgiving makes me thankful for the following:

1)I don't live in cesspoolia.

2)Sharia hasn't been implemented yet in the US despite the nonstop efforts of Islamaniacs and their lapdogs.

3)We have a military making sure points one and two will be delayed for as long as possible-despite the idiocy of political leaders.

4)Jihad Watch. I never figured this many people were as worried and upset about the sordid state of the world (no thanks to the mainstream media).

I hope there will be plenty of Thanksgivings in the future. I don't want to be "thankful" for keeping my head by sacrificing whatever the crazies sacrifice to Illah during their equivalent of this holiday.

" Yes, the origin of Thanksgiving is secular. But its also nationalist. Canadians don't celebrate it. British? Nope. It is a holiday enacted by the US Congress......."

Well someone needs to get a grip on the Common wealth holiday schedule. As a Canadian myself I was ticked off by working my thanksgiving holiday.

I almost wish some of these islamofascists were actually intelligent.

Wait a minute I take that intelligence comment back.

I started reading that Russian post and just knew it had to be Hugh. LOL! What great posts above. You all just make me adore you! I can't even add anything. Ynkedoodl2, you crack me up with the wanker thing and just as I figured, Naseem ignored your questions like they all do. They refuse to see the awful truth in their own religion, frin which they've been brainwashed. I'm not surprised Ellis gave a speech anyway even if it was by video, and definitely not surprised to hear Sheila Lee attended. She has got to be one of the worst Congresswoman in Washington.....a total outcast, which is why she sides with Muslims, like the criminals in prison converting....all lower echelon rungs of society.

Meanwhile, it seems that Keith Ellison pulled the legs of the two reporters who reported that he won't speak at CAIR's dinner.

I spoke with Rob Hotakainen this afternoon. He told me that in his view Ellison was straightforward with the Star Tribune last week in denying that he would be the keynote speaker at the CAIR dinner even though he in fact appeared by video. It should be noted that in the video, Ellison attributes his failure to appear at the dinner to a scheduling conflict, not to any "natural, normal miscommunication." I'm sure the folks at the Star Tribune are buying that too. There's a story here somewhere, but the folks at the Star Tribune apparently can't be bothered with it.

A failure to miscommunicate

Canadians do celebrate Thanksgiving, every year, in October. It is a national, statutory holiday when we reflect on all that we have to be thankful for..... and eat lots of turkey and pumpkin pie !
