Spain arrests two more Misunderstanders of Islam

Remember now: these guys plot violence and mayhem for years, and do it all in the name of Islam, and there's no peep of protest from Muslim organizations worldwide outside of vague condemnations of "terrorism." But if Geert Wilders captures any of this plotting and incitement to violence on film, that is an outrage, an offense against Islam, an exercise in "hate speech."

Got it?

"Spain arrests suspected Islamic extremists," by Al Goodman for CNN (thanks to Twostellas):

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- Spanish police Tuesday arrested two Moroccan men suspected of having links to Islamic terrorism, Spain's Ministry of Interior said, including one man wanted in connection with attacks in Casablanca in 2003.

The arrests were made in Melilla, a Spanish enclave of about 68,000 people on Morocco's Mediterranean coast, with Spanish Civil Guards acting on international arrests warrants issued by Morocco, the ministry said in a written statement.

Moroccan authorities have linked one of the suspects, Ali Aarass, to the Casablanca bombings in May 2003 that killed 33 bystanders and 12 suicide bombers.

He is suspected of Islamic extremist activities during the past 16 years, the Spanish statement said.

The other man, Mohamed El Bay, is wanted for alleged involvement with a terrorist network that Moroccan police broke up last February, when they arrested 30 people suspected of plotting attacks against Moroccan government targets, it said.

Moroccan police seized numerous weapons in the February raids and later contacted European police for help in locating other suspects in the group.

Morocco authorities believe El Bay may have been in charge of contacting Central European arms smugglers to get weapons and explosives for the alleged plot in Morocco, the Spanish statement said....

Uh Huh. It's called "insanity."

Of course I've got it. What's wrong with you, Robert? Didn't you know that muslims are ALWAYS right, and non-muslims are ALWAYS wrong?

Can't you even read the news articles on your own blog?

C'mon, Robert, get a life!

C'mon, everyone join me in singing "The Ballad of Ole Mo", to the tune of the Beverly Hillbillies (my apologies to the Beverly Hillbillies)

Come and listen to my story 'bout a man named Mo'
A poor camel trader, he was soon to roll in dough
He invented a religion, with a racket of protection
and promised his hitmen, a ticket straight to heaven.

He began to travel, around Arabia
Raping and stealing, from almost everyone
He married a girl, when she was only six
and he beat all his wives, for disobeying him.

He made a treaty, with a group of Jews
But after they surrendered, he killed all of the "fools".
"The People of the Book", the Jews used to be
but, Miracle of Miracles!, now they're Apes and Pigs!


Well the first thing you know, ole Mo's a millionaire
Great big haram, and stolen goods to spare
He returned to Mecca, with a sword in his hand
and terrorized the people of that formerly free land.

"Kill them all"; "forced conversions"; "slavery".

I enjoyed that, PersonOfTheBook!

Darcy, why don't you have a go at it? I'm sure you could come up with something pretty funny about Ole Mo', or poor Aisha, or something else.

Misunderstanders of Islam = Lies

Hate Speech = More Lies

The Islamists got the Socialists re-elected in Spain. Spain pulled out of Iraq, so all should be peaceful now, right?

IIRC, the most recent pre-election terror attack in Spain was by the Basque ETA. I wonder if they get any support from the Jihadists?

A couple of questions for Mr Spencer, and for all.

Are the "misunderstanders" of Islam, actually the "understanders" of Islam?

And the corollary

Are the "understanders" of Islam actually the "misunderstand" Islam?

PersonOfTheBook:

Your song was too good. What talent is on this site. I woke my spouse to sing the song, which wasn't appreciated, but I did get a chuckle.

Keep up the good work.
