Sarah Palin has given a lot of people chills, but these are of a different kind:
"McCain-Palin Ticket Chills Arabs, Muslims," by Sana Abdullah for the Middle East Times, September 5:
AMMAN -- With the U.S. presidential elections just two months away, many Arabs and Muslims are increasingly worried that a victory for another conservative Republican administration will exacerbate the tensions and turbulence that have followed the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.The events and speeches at the Republican Party convention in Minnesota, which endorsed the candidacy of Arizona Senator John McCain and his running mate, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, were given special attention in the Arab media, as commentators voiced fears that a McCain administration would pursue, perhaps more belligerently, the path of the current government.
As a rule, Arab governments in the region prefer to refrain from showing their preferences in U.S. elections, but the media, including the state-controlled TV and press, have made no secret of their desire to see a new leadership in Washington that is run by Democratic presidential candidate Illinois Senator Barack Obama.
While talking heads have said they did not expect either administration to be more sympathetic to the Arab and Muslim causes, many are now saying that Obama would be the "lesser of two evils" [...].
As far as those Arabs and Muslims, who are looking forward to the end of the Bush era are concerned, that change may very well be for the worse. Some have indeed expressed that the prospect of a McCain-Palin victory is nothing less than chilling.
Interestingly, Osama bin Laden is one of those Muslims who have made it a point to demonize Bush and persuade Americans to not vote for him in the 2004 elections. Was that too not proof that Bush was doing something right?
Conclusion: whenever your taqiyya-practicing enemy tries to give you "advice" -- such as who or who not to vote for -- consider the source.

Certainly, Romney's speech along with Rudy's showed that at least some Republicans are aware of what the intentions of Jihadists are. We heard nothing from the Democrats on this, except that Obama, like Olmert, will perform "lawyer talk" with our enemies while they continue to seek our destruction.

I think we can expect the Saudis to pump a few billion of their ill-gotten petro-dollars into the presidential race in support of Obama. This is in addition to the billions they've already spent on "Islamic Studies" departments at various universities, and on all the Saudi-financed Islamic centers and Wahhabi imams, and on CAIR and other Islamic propaganda outfits, and on just straight bribes of politicians and government officials. All of these will continue to earn their keep as supporters of Obama.

No doubt the references by Mit and Rudy are a matter of concern to our arab "allies". And from the more forthright jihadists, such as the vile egyptian with the divot in his forehead, I would not be surprised to get some kind of 'warning' such as the Spanish voters received before their Zapatero capitulation. I'm not sure it would work in the U.S., but these jihadist clowns routinely overestimate themselves.

It can happened, but difficult to imaging Sarah Palin shamelessly covering her head as Pelosi did.
BTW. Have you noticed that Cadaffi refused handshake with C. Rice? He is a moslem and not suppose to shake hand with a woman. What kind of secretary of state doesn’t know that? Also the manner in which he did it. He just brushed her of. It was a spit in her face. C.Rice said the visit was a success. Did he miss?
at September 6, 2008 12:10 PM
McCain said this the other night:
"We are going to stop sending $700 billion a year to countries that don’t like us very much."
The "they don't like us very much" phrase is just a euphemism for "they HATE us".
But tell us John, WHY do they hate us? , or in your terms, why do think they do not "like" us?.
I think that this is an admission by McCain that needs follow-up. Why don't they like us John? If the Muslim countries producing and selling oil to us, and share in that $700 billion a year don't "like us", what about the muslim countries that don't share in that bounty? What is their justification for hating us? Could it be John, that they all share something quite similar? like a common hate against ALL infidels and a promotion of a supremacist ideology?
So far, this all we have on McCain's opinion on Islam: "I admire the Islam. There's a lot of good principles in it."
Should be followed up by:
Yeah. Name one of those principles.
Or, OK, if there are a lot of good principles, do you believe also that there are a lot of bad principles as well, and if so, what are they?

Just a little note to all our Arab and Muslim friends who have suddenly become such adamant Obama supporters ...
At some fast approaching point in time, someone is going to have to "do the right thing" about the Iranian nuclear facilities.
With a McCain presidency, Ahmadinejad and the mullahs know that they can only play a brinkmanship game so far before McCain will exercise the military option.
Here is the other scenario ... the Israelis know that a President Obama is never going to pull the military trigger ... what do you think will happen?

Sarah Palin is a real American woman - not the "feminized" media boys who offer their "insights" on her and her life. Give me a break. She has lived life unlike most of the feminized, homosexualized media types.
Barry Hussein Obambi is an empty suit, with very, VERY little real accomplishments, who spouts tired old socialist philosophies.
It's over folks. McCain-Palin will win and it won't even be close. The media is so clueless, they don't even realize this.
Obambi is toast.

Arabs are "chilled" at the thought of McCain in the White House. Why should we believe them when they say that?
More to the point, should we care? What if they had said President [any Democrat] scared them? How much should we take world opinion into account, be it positive or negative, when voting for a president? This is the second straight presidential election where we are hearing about the need "to restore America's reputation".

Yes, it is true that John McCain has said foolish things such as "I admire the Islam. There's a lot of good principles in it". In this he is very like George Bush. I also think that, like so many in government, that he understands very little about Jihad ideology. Sarah Palin likely understands even less.
That being said, I think he does understand that there is a very grave threat to the United States from--what? "Radical Islam", perhaps, or "extremeists".
But he does believe that the US--and perhaps he understands, the West--*is under threat*.
On a very fundamental level--despite the attack on the Cole, and the Marine barracks in Lebanon, and the bombing of the US embassy in Kenya, and *9/11*, for God's sake--I don't believe that Barack Obama believes that the US is actually threatened.
How will McCain handle the Jihad threat? Perhaps not all together well. He is a firm believer in "the surge", and is very likely to keep us in Iraq for some time.
But he will not be easily bamboozled. He doesn't believe we should hand over our soveriegnty to international bodies--heavily influenced by Muslims--such as the UN or the EU. He does not believe that Ahmadinijad will be a reasonable partner in "dialog". He does not believe that the US is a greater danger to the world than a nuclear-armed Iran, as so many seem to.
In the last election, I voted Republican for the first time. Despite all George Bush's mistakes, I'm glad that I did. How much worse, do you think, would John Kerry's handling of the "war on terror" have been?
I will be voting for John McCain in November. Perhaps he can learn more about the nature of Jihad, perhaps not. But he will not be apologizing for America to her enemies. He believes American values are worth fighting for. I wish I could be sure his political opponent has the same convictions.

McCain Palin should send chills up the legs of every muslim man! LOL.. Palin is a conversavtive that has lived life with a family and run for public office and that she has actually achieved something, something which the one NObama cannot produce with all his years as a "community whatever"!
a side note hear,, Robert should ask Dinah S. about how an Amer.conservative family like the "Palins" can be anything like a "conservative muslim family"?
Palin's daughter is unmarried and five months pregnant, and will marry the father of her child. If you had a similiar "conservative Muslim family" faced with the same prospects, would you think they would celebrate the unborn child into their family and thank their daughter for not aborting him? NO, these so called conservative Muslim family would kill their daughter for bringing the family shame!
NO where can the MSM, and stupid elites ever could compare a Western conservative family to a Muslim conservative family, the two would never meet in common with any values!!
at September 6, 2008 2:20 PM
well stated gravenimage, ...
As I have been saying out here for months to those who keep pushing the idea that both parties are equally bad on the global jihad issue ... there is a big, big difference between not completely "getting" the threat and not seeing the threat at all.

PMK,
I think that I understand your plight regarding the election. You (and I) want to vote FOR someone. (Sarah Palin solves that problem for me.)
Also I now think that I see the real personality of John McCain. Since I worked close with a WWII bomber pilot for years, I now understand McCain's connection with his father in law who was a WWII bomber pilot. If you have ever known a WWII bomber pilot, you would know they are distinctively good solid people. The very best in the human race. (There was a 50% probability of crashing in those B-17's on each bombing run.) It is now clear to me that McCain has this (heroism) in common with his father in law.
Now a different enemy has us in their gunsights...Islam. Obama is no hero. He is a lawyer. Lawyers are trained to work out deals. They are not good warriors. In fact they are bad warriors. Obama and his base of followers cannot be depended upon to fight Islam much less anyone else. McCain can. True, McCain has not publically shown any deep understanding of Islam, but who in Washington has, at this point? Sarah Palin is common sense people smart (actually brilliant). McCain knows how to fight. Thats a good combination.
Our choice is McCain or Obama. There is no other choice. I place my hope in McCain (not Obama) for prevailing against the worst enemy of our time, Islam. This should now be an easy choice for every one here.

Everyone,
I understand what you are saying but McCain bothers me. Do you know that he wants the US to join the ICC? The marines who have been acquitted of war crimes in Iraq could end up in the ICC if McCain, the friend of the military, has his way.
What bothers me here is that everyone keeps calling him a conservative. (I've had a similar exchange on another site.) Compared to whom?
In the past he gloried in being a "maverick".
He's a man of Washington. The federal government is all he's known for more than two decades.
How many politicians have talked about "radical Islam"? They won't define it. Mohammed Atta wasn't a "radical" until AFTER he had taken down a tower of the WTC. By then, it was too late.
It seems to be enough for many of you that he mouths the words "radical Islam". But of what value are those words? I worry that you are placing confidence in him that isn't merited. I'm looking for substance to McCain and I can't find it. There is a lot more to fighting this scourge of Islam than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Judges, taxes and all the rest are secondary.
McCain served honorably in the military and he did us proud but so have lots of other people.
I only hope your faith in him is not misplaced. I don't trust him. That he is the un-Obama is not enough. How I vote won't matter, since my state and district are completely blue. It didn't matter that many of us saw the towers burning across the bay. The state still went for Kerry in 2004. It's been twenty years since New Jersey's electoral votes went to a Republican.
I like Palin more and more, but I don't believe she will be as influential as some people think. Here's hoping I'm wrong - about McCain and about everything. I'll shut up on this issue. Thanks for your patience.
at September 6, 2008 9:36 PM
One candidate appears to have no idea that Islam might represent a permanent threat to non-Muslims, or at leaset, does not consider what Islam inculcates to be a threat to non-Muslims. The other candidate recognizes such a threat but so far has mistakenly believed that the stated American goals in Iraq, if achieved, are the most effective way to deal with that threat, whose full dimensions (especially in Western Europe) he has not focussed on, because for him "war" is mainly a military matter.
It is likely to be harder to persuade someone who appears incapable of recognize the meaning and menace of Islam, than to persuade someone who does recognize that menace to also see that there are much less costly, and much more effective, means to counter the main weapons of Jihad -- that is, the Money Weapon, campaigns of Da'wa, and demographic conquest.
Both are far from ideal; and one is farther than the other.

Posted by: ZenaWarriorPrincess
In a "conservative Muslim family", things would never have reached that point. The daughter would have been married to Uncle Abdul from the old country at 10 or 12, and would now be expecting her 2nd or 3rd legitimate child, with 8 or 9 more to follow.
at September 6, 2008 10:10 PM
IMO.Aside from the typical "Style" of most NPR reporting. Based upon one about Palin and her "Faith", a reasonable person might conclude She would be receptive to a more in depth view of the subject.
It would hope Mr. Spencer has made an offer. Be it personal, or to arrange a "Tea" with some other Professional Women he has come in contact with over the years.

Posted by: gravenimage
He doesn't. He and his ilk believe that the real threat to the world is the U.S.; or more specifically that the historical, Western, white, Judeo-Christian America is the real threat to both the world and to America itself. And it's this historical America that they seek to eradicate. They'll tell you that fundamentalist Christians are a bigger threat to America and the world -- after didn't they murder a couple of abortionists ten or twelve years ago? -- than the Moslem jihadists -- who have killed millions in that same time period.
at September 6, 2008 10:33 PM
Flowerknife - good idea.
Over to *you*, American lady jihadwatchers. You have some formidable potential talent - Brigitte Gabriel, Nonie Darwish, Wafa Sultan come to mind, the first two Christian, the third an atheist, but all passionately concerned for human rights and common human decency. They would be able to fill the lady in on what sharia does to women and girls. THEN go for broke: give her the plain fact that all pious, purist jihad-minded Muslims intend to impose sharia, by hook or by crook, by fraud or by force, upon every human being on planet earth.
Any Alaskan jihadwatchers out there? - if you haven't already done it, hurry up and put together an emergency 'information and survival pack' for Palin and her support team, containing Spencer - Islam Unveiled, Onward Muslim Soldiers, PIG to Islam and the Crusades, and Truth About Muhammad - together with Bat Yeor, 'The Dhimmi' and 'Eurabia' and Mark Durie, 'Revelation? - Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God?' (which last has the virtue of being a quick, easy read, beautifully lucid, condensing rock-solid scholarship into a slim volume that fits in the back pocket of your jeans, and which effectively demolishes any idea that Islam has anything significant in common with either Judaism or Christianity. Instant immunisation against the nonsense presented by Muslim 'inter-faith dialogue' spin-doctors and taqiyya artists.)
Other items you might find useful: a copy of Mr Hugh Fitzgerald's unforgettable 'Islamophobia? Really?', which I myself prefer to call 'The Twenty Seven Deplorables, or, The Twenty-Seven Appalling Things About Islam', first posted here on jihadwatch/ dhimmiwatch on December 3 2005:
http://jihadwatch.org/dhimmiwatch/archives/009275.php
and his masterly mini-essay 'Basic Jihad'
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022576.php#comments
and his article, Muslims and America:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/022450.php
Finally: scroll down through the comments field of 'Muslims and America' to find Hugh's re-posting in full, sourced from faithfreedom,org, of a comparison of the 'Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam', with the 'Universal Declaration of Human Rights', to which are appended the texts in full of both declarations.
After reading those two Declarations, my own immediate response ran as follows (perhaps it may be helpful for others):
"One thing struck me immediately. It leaps out at you when you set the two Declarations side by side.
"The fourth clause of the UDHR unequivocally and in the strongest possible terms forbids Slavery:
"Article 4.
No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.
"There is NO corresponding clause in the Cairo Declaration.
"Nowhere does the Cairo Declaration forbid slavery. Slavery is carefully not mentioned at all.
"Of course: anyone familiar with sharia knows that sharia takes slavery and slave-taking for granted; it does not forbid slavery, it does not condemn slavery, it has all sorts of rules about what one can and cannot do to and with slaves, and who may be enslaved (any kafir is fair game).
"Under Islam, slavery is perfectly legal and moral and permissible; all Islamic societies throughout history have enslaved people, often on a staggering scale."
So - if someone here feels like sharing Hugh's posting of the faithfreedom analysis of the two Declarations, to Palin herself or anyone on her team, be sure to draw attention to the Cairo Declaration's conspicuous refusal to forbid slavery.
It might help, for even greater clarity, to explain some of the other things that sharia prescribes and permits, and that, therefore, the 'Cairo Declaration' must be assumed to find perfectly acceptable: such as wife-beating, polygamy, inequality of women with men before the law, flogging and/ or stoning of 'immoral' women, the forcible wedding and bedding of nine-year-old girls, death for 'apostasy' and 'blasphemy', and the whole panoply of repressive laws relating to the status of non-Muslims in sharia-based Muslim states; with reference to their sources in the sacred texts of Islam, and real-life examples of their being put into practice in the Islamosphere, today.

'Arabs, Muslims "chilled" at thought of McCain-Palin in White House'

I'm chilled at the thought, too. But I'm frozen stiff at the thought of Obama-Biden in the White House.
at September 7, 2008 12:37 AM
Dumbledoresarmy, there ya go.
The reason the evil UIHC doesn't repudiate slavery isn't just because of what we think of as traditional slavery. It's because all Muslim women are sex slaves their entire lives. They are first the sex slaves of their muhrim, their brothers and fathers, who can rape them whenever and however they want per K 2.223, and then they are invariably pimped away under physical duress for a sum of money by those same muhrim. The nuku nikah (marraige contract, literally 'permission to penetrate') is an agreement between the owner and the buyer regarding money and her body. Women cannot be independent in Islam. All Muslim women are slaves. The only difference between Islamic marriage/slavery and Islamic kafir slavery is a dowry, a contract/'permission to penetrate' [from the primary owner], and the fact that the owner can beat the slave about the head if she is a kafir.

There have been some comments here to the effect that British papers have not covered the RNC very well. Actually, one of the best stories I have seen is about Sarah Palin, in the Times Online Palin Article. As an Alaskan, I found that this article accurately reflects, better than any other story I have so far seen, why people here fell in love with this woman several years ago, and why her popularity rating remains in the stratosphere. We, like everyone else, worry that her provincial background, lack of sophistication and limited political experience may not have prepared her for the role she has been prematurely thrust into. And although we have watched as she has time and again outmaneuvered and confounded her critics, she, like everyone, has her limits. Almost everyone here believes that sooner or later she would have ended up on the national political stage, but we didn't expect it to happen so suddenly and so soon.
For what it's worth, though, I don't think we have to worry about her donning a hijab any time soon, or succumbing to political correctness. But Dumbledore is right - as part of her education Sarah needs a crash course in Islam.

Perfectly said! John McCain is a military man. The military learns as they go. Recruits in the Army refer to the enemy as "Hajjie's". Given time, the military will figure out the most "effective way", as Hugh says above, to get rid of the enemy. McCain is the right man to do that. Also, McCain has launched war against the corrupt politicians in Washington. That is a war I want to get started. Sarah is an expert in this regard.

Obama has repeatedly said that the front line of the war on terror is in Afghanistan and the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. It would make a lot more sense to focus on that region than to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Obama has shown much more leadership than grandpa McCain on this one. While I do wish that the dems would have said over and over again that radical Islam is a threat, there is also no reason at all to believe that Obama and Biden don't want Bin Laden and the Al Qaeda/Taliban members dead. These Arab and Muslim leaders are very confused if they think they have a friend in Obama.

With regard to our "Pitbull With Lipstick", while I don't normally watch the conventions, the GOP convention went into overtime and I watched while waiting for our show to come on.
I was very impressed with Sarah's abilities and public speaking skills and find that most of her attackers are comparing her abilities as if she were running against windjammer Obama.

Afcrapistan is an exposed position. Subject to shifting sands along the major supply routes.
We should have spent the 30 Billion carving a path through Iran after Iraq fell. The Pakistanis, who didn't want to get flattened in the first place, might have remained pretty quiet about following Bin Laden to a conclusion.
Granted, Troop levels would not have allowed even the thought of staying in Country for long.
That would have been just dandy.
All of them mad as hell with no one to blame for retribution except for each other.
Staying in Afcrapistan is pointless without Pakistan directly involved in the process in a concrete way.
The cost of Road Construction has gone up quit a bit in the last 6 years. Every day that passes, raises the price further and increases the number of investors necessary to do the work.

I can't wait to see the look of disgust and horror on the mugs of these barbarians when Palin becomes VP. It is their worst nightmare, especially since she will take no B.S. from them. She may be the symbol of American guts that we have been waiting for.

Could it also be because Gov./VP running mate Sarah Palin is not only a shinning example of how much respect Christian women are given, but also a female version of the late great communicator, Ronald Reagan?

Spot On,
That is why Sen.McCain is also known as the "Mavarick". He is a GOPer, but does stand up for the people. He picked Gov.Palin because she is the future of the GOP which will make it important to do reform.
