Quick, put a stop payment on the check.

Can GW, Condi and Ohlmert get any stupider?

What a bunch of saps!!!

How can there be new elections in Gaza (or elsewhere) in the face of violent intimidation? Abbas is more vacillating than Hillary, Obama, and Edwards put together.

In a recording made inside Abbas' office, the following was heard:

Nothing like good old dhimmi money!

Posted by: Crusader at December 31, 2007 7:02 PM

Abbas: "dialogue, dialogue, dialogue,"

Condi: "I think I can, I think I can, I think I can"

GWB: "I am smart, I am smart, I am smart"

Olmert: "I am Jewish, I am Jewish, I am Jewish"

Me: "Jessica Alba is my girlfriend, Jessica Alba is my girlfriend, Jessica Alba is my girlfriend"

Just click you heals and say it..who the hell knows!

Islam is a shapeshifter.

'Peaceful' verses and 'jihad' verses.

Goodcop/ badcop.

'Moderates' and 'hardliners'.

Allegedly 'secular' Fatah as opposed to 'Islamist' Hamas; slow jihad, fast jihad.

The result? - the Infidels are confused and kept off balance, so the Jihad can go in for the kill.

It's pretty damn obvious that when Abbas says "our homeland and our struggle to liberate it" he means what the 'Palestinian' Arab Muslims and indeed the whole Ummah has always meant: 'homeland' = the entire Land of Israel, and 'struggle to liberate" = the goal of destroying the Jewish state, killing, enslaving or exiling all five-six million Jews in it, looting everything in sight, and setting up a majority-Muslim Arab state in its place.

Time to quit playing their games.

No more aid. No more 'talks'. No more hudnas. No 'Palestinian' state - unless a Christian one, after all the Muslims are expelled, for the more sensible among the Christians would probably be happy to set up a trade-and-mutual-self-defence union with the Jewish state. I am sure the persecuted, frightened, harassed Christians of Gaza, one of whom has already been killed for being too outspokenly Christian, would be delighted to lose all their threatening Muslim neighbours, ring their churchbells as loud as they liked, and receive the protection of the earnest young Jewish soldiers of the IDF rather than the expensive and useless mafia-style 'protection' provided by the standover men of warring Muslim Arab gangsta clans.

Jews (together with the Arabised Christians, and the Samaritans) have a moral, legal and historical right to live as free people in the entire historic Land of Israel - a much better right than the johnny-come-lately imperialist Muslims, whose period of dominion over that land was an unmitigated disaster for its native Jews, its Christians, its Samaritans, and even for the Muslims themselves, due to the chaotic misrule, wanton destruction of the human and natural resource base, and ceaseless warfare at every level (from intra-familial to inter-dynastic) which typified that dominion from start to finish.

Muslims have never permitted, nor will ever permit, to Jews or to Christians or any other non-Muslims, equal rights with themselves in any state that they, Muslims, dominate; whereas in Israel proper, e.g. in Haifa or Jaffa, the basic human rights of Arab/ised Muslims and of Christians are scrupulously upheld.

Therefore: a Jewish-majority state governing the Land of Israel(INCLUDING Gaza, Judea and Samaria, and ALL of Jerusalem) is a far better bet for the maintenance and defence of human rights within that area, of freedom of speech and freedom of religion, peace and good order, than any Muslim-dominated entity would ever be.

NO MORE JIZYA TO THE 'PALESTINIAN' ARAB MUSLIM THUGS.

Give the money to the IDF instead.

Oh nice to see Dubya is looking out for the good ol' American tax payer, what a good ol' Texas boy he is! Couldn't think of a better way to blow over half a billion dollars! Nice to know that every American man woman and child has made thier Jizya payment. Wonder how many Jews and Muslims will be Murdered with this money? Uhh last I checked America was broke ... wonder how much we had to borrow from the Chinese to do this, or did good ol' Bushy just print it? What is that like close to 2 dollars from every American? Okay I'm officially mad now.

No, Islam is not a shapeshifter. There is just a lot of nuance and complexity within Islam, as there is for anything involving over a billion people.

If you're "confused" and "off-balance", I have an idea: stop trying to look at Islam as a monolith, and appreciate the complexities and nuance of the situation. That will clear things up.

Posted by: Shlomo_Michael at December 31, 2007 8:36 PM

This "Islam is not a monolith" mantra has its obvious apologetic uses, but far from being ignored, it is wilfully misunderstood and given far too much credence, of the wrong kind. No, Muslims vary in their food, in their clothes, and even in elements of their faith -- see Sunnis and Shiites and Ibadi Muslims, see Sufis whose apprehension of God is said to be mystical, and who comprise about 2% of the world's Muslims. But this evidence that "Islam is not a monolith" ignores the real point: that Islam as a belief-system, in everything that concerns attitudes toward Infidels, is indeed unremarkably the same, for in every major branch of Islam, in every land where Islam is practiced, the basis for Islamic beliefs -- Qur'an, Hadith (with their isnad-chains studied, and the stories ranked according to their supposed authenticity by the most authoritative muhaddithin, such as Bukhari and Muslim), and Sira -- are the same. There is not a "Tunisian" set of Hadith, nor an "Indonesian" Sira.

The lapidary formula of Ibn Warraq still holds: There are moderate Muslims. Islam itself is not moderate.

And we have no way to figure out which Muslims will, for all time, unto the nth generation, remain "moderate" and which will revert to that old-time religion, which reversion is a permanent danger to the legal and political institutions of the Bilad al-kufr, and to the physical security of Infidels, everywhere.

That is a point that repetition of such phrases as "Islam is not a monolith" cannot be allowed to obscure.

And at this website, such phrases won't be. There is quite enough apologetics going around the world. This site will not tolerate the same blague -- not from anyone.

Hugh, serious question:

What's the alternative? Subjugate all Muslims, thereby increasing the chances that the moderates "revert" to Islam?

Another, related question:
Why do you think the Wars of Religion ended in Europe? I was taught (by a Rebbitzen, none too fond of Arabs/Muslims) that they ended because Europeans decided they were sick of dying for their religion--NOT because they followed the Spencer formula, in which preachers suddenly changed their tune and denounced their holy warriors. Why do you think a similar transformation can not occur within the Islamic World, given the right circumstances?

Our efforts at diplomacy and our funding of the moderates are having a positive effect. These things take time, we need to be patient. Stay the course; we cannot flip flop in our policy. We're not there yet, but we're at the threshold of a breakthrough.

The above could have been quoted from U.S. politicians 30 years ago, or 20, or 10, and it will be repeated 10 years from now, and 20, and 30. Pure, undiluted idiocy.

I wouldn't think of trying to answer for Hugh, but I do know that neither he nor Robert has ever advocated "subjugat[ing] all Muslims".

Speaking for myself, I think the answer is clear: encourage all Muslims to follow all tenets of their holy and peaceful religion, without interference from the corrupt kaffirs, back in the comforts of their idyllic Islamic homelands.

Hugh

I think by their contributions to this exchange 'shlomo' and 'ahmed' have, taken together, sufficiently proved our points, for the benefit of every intelligent Infidel reading this discussion now or in the future.

And 'shlomo', as for 'confusion' - I am quite sure that that venerable leftist gadfly, sociologist, lecturer in law, student of the history of institutions, and Righteous Gentile, Jacques Ellul, was not in the least confused when he wrote that "there is so much talk nowadays of the tolerance and fundamental pacifism of Islam, that it is necessary to recall its nature, which is fundamentally warlike".

"thereby increasing the chances that the moderates "revert" to Islam?"

"Why do you think a similar transformation can not occur within the Islamic World, given the right circumstances?"

Sclomo answers his own questions.

Yes, they are outsmarting us, this is undeniable. They have the peacenik thinkers in the west swallowing their TAqiyya and deceptions in mouthfuls.

At least Ahmed is being honest, but remember Ahmed, eventually, you're going to lose your resource pool of useful idiots and then what will you do?

...do Moderate Muslims read the same Qur'an as the violent Muslims?.......they both quote Qur'anic passages....
