Afghan film star gets death threats for being photographed without veil

May 6, 2016 11:55 am By Robert Spencer

Meanwhile, in the West, schools and universities hold Hijab Days to show their solidarity with Muslim women who are supposedly persecuted for wearing the hijab. In reality, women who dare not to cover their heads in Sharia nations are the ones who are really threatened, but no one cares, or dares, to stand up for them.

Marina Golbahari

“Afghan film star seeks asylum in France after death threats over unveiling,” AFP, May 5, 2016 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Afghan actress Marina Golbahari and her husband have been chased from their Kabul home to the brink of suicide in a French asylum shelter, after a photograph appeared of her without a veil.

Fearful for their lives, the couple has kept a low profile since their arrival in France just over five months ago for a film festival. “We never thought of staying,” said Azizi, the feted star of an internationally-acclaimed film. “We hardly packed anything.”

But death threats in Afghanistan to them and their family, they said, ruled out a return.

Golbahari was only 10-years-old in late 2001 when she was plucked from the streets of Kabul and thrust to stardom as the heroine in the Golden Globe-winning film “Osama.”

She was then selling magazines on the streets of the capital, and had witnessed the violence of the recently-toppled Taliban regime first hand when her father was beaten in front of her.

In the film set during the Taliban’s rule, she played a girl who disguises herself as a boy so that she can walk freely on the street.

“Osama” was a hit and made Golbahari, now 24, an instant star in her country. “Cinema is my life,” she told AFP. “In a film, I can say everything about my people.”

Her husband, Noorullah Azizi, also found a way out of grinding poverty through Afghanistan’s burgeoning film industry. He grew up in Pakistan among the millions of Afghan refugees who had fled the Soviet war of the 1980s. Now 28, he recalls a childhood spent sleeping under a tent and working in a shoe factory, before returning to Kabul and trying his hand at a thousand and one jobs.

He finally turned to acting, where his muscular physique and square jaw brought him roles as police officers and soldiers fighting the Taliban. “I was happy. I had everything,” he said.

Azizi and Golbahari met on Facebook and quickly fell in love, but the match was not welcomed by Azizi’s family, who refused to attend the marriage last September.

“They were ashamed of my wife because she is an actress and the whole world can see her photo,” he said. It did not take long for more serious trouble to arise.

A picture of Golbahari, head uncovered, at a festival in South Korea drew the ire of conservatives.

The imam in her local village of Kapisa announced that she should not return, which Azizi said translates as: “She must die.” Soon after a bomb was thrown into their garden in Kabul, but mercifully failed to explode. Telephone threats started to pour in, and the couple was forced to move from house to house. In mid-November, they flew to Nantes in western France, where Golbahari was to appear in a festival, the Festival of Three Continents.

But their families, who had also received death threats, told them they had to stay away. The couple have found themselves in a decrepit shelter for asylum seekers in Dreux, 90 kilometers (56 miles) outside of Paris. Their small green and violet room looks out over a roof full of discarded rubbish.

Golbahari has struggled to cope with the forced exile, attempting suicide and now on anti-depressants. “I dreamed of living in France, but not like this,” she said. They are particularly worried about running into fellow Afghans. “It’s very important that no one recognizes Marina,” said Azizi, who locks his wife in the room every time he leaves, to make sure no one gets to her and carries out the death sentence passed by conservative imams a world away.

To avoid detection, Golbahari remains tightly veiled in public spaces – a cruel twist in the tale, given the way their nightmare began. “When you are an actor or actress in Afghanistan, or part of a film, you are accused of being an infidel, you are always in danger,” said Siddiq Barmak, the director of “Osama,” who also became a refugee in France one year ago….

      We need to hold a ‘NO-HONOR-KILLING DAY’, in opposition to ‘Hijab Day’.

      Are any so-called Feminists honoring Afghan actress Marina Golbahari for her outstanding courage?

    After 15 years, $6Trillion, and over 3000 US KIAs, with this barbaric shit still going on, makes you wonder what the fuck we’re doing in Afghanistan, 1 of just 57 Islamic countries.

    Is it any better off today than the day we first set foot there?

    Islam must end, Worldwide. Let’s stop pretending it’s a “religion,” and start calling it what it really is, a criminal enterprise. A collection of the World’s most horrific felonies.

    Recall all US personnel from Dar al-Islam, then let our nukes do the apostatizing for us. One random target every three days until every Muslim government surrenders Islam.

    As long as they do that, let them keep their governments, territory, and oil.

    If they resist. They watch their cities get vaporized one every three days until they no longer resist. The price of resistance will be regime change, and loss of their oil resources and territory to governments we install ourselves

    This is a fight to death. Total War. If you don’t believe me, just open up the Quran and read for yourself.

        Ahh, it’s the 4th Stooge, RonaldB again. Haven’t heard from you in a while.

        Where did I say “vaporize every city in the middle east?” When you can’t make a coherent argument with facts, just make shit up about the other guy, right? Standard BS coming from your pie-hole with just about every debate you try entering on this site.

        With my 22 years as a USAF Officer, professional military education, 1500 Intel briefs, and 6 years combat experience, I’ve always advocated a winnable plan requiring less than 21 targets using nuclear ordnance. With many of those targets being military assemblies, weapons arsenals, and weapons production facilities, I’m advocate a relatively small number of target “cities.”

        Read more closely before you say something stupid like that again.

        How many days have you spent wearing America’s military uniform?

        I’m curious, with your expertise, how do you plan to confront 1.6 Billion Muslims whose religious source texts command them to exterminate us? How will you eliminate their will to fight? Are you just going to talk them out of it with your wisdom?

        Thank God fools like you weren’t in charge in WWII. Unfortunately, we face an even bigger foe now, and Dar al-Harb has nothing but arrogant morons like you calling the shots.

          Daniel, I understand where you’re coming from, but I’d like to offer an alternative, seen as I have a problem with killing large swaths of humans (remember, they are still human).

          First, we would need to find Islam as being unconstitutional. Cuz it is. Anybody wanting to still adhere to that sick ideology would be given safe passage to the Islamic country of their choosing with no possible return to Dar-al-Harb.

          That way, we can let islam stew in its own juices. They would likely go to war amongst themselves.

          I guess what I’m trying to say is that I don’t want any more western lives or resources spent on islam. I think the cost of this war we are in is prohibitive.

          I think that islam will ultimately destroy itself.

        • Daniel Triplett says

          May 7, 2016 at 11:11 am

          @aDhimmiSaysWhat?

          I agree: Islam is unconstitutional. Islam is a crime, with Sedition and Conspiracy to Murder being right at the top of a very long list of serious felonies.

          However, I disagree with your theory that we can build big walls, “keep the bad guys over there,” then forget about it.

          They will figure out ways to sneak in anyway, either in person, ICBM, or nuke on a container ship.

          Many Intel analysts believe Iran already has at least one nuke weapon. They’re just waiting to amass dozens of them before initiating the Apocalypse.

          Iran is delighted that we’re all talking about ISIS right now instead of Iran (the greater danger), giving them the extra time they need to miniaturize the warheads and perfect their ICBM technology.

          Containment just doesn’t work. Want proof?

          Just look at North Korea, the most isolated and ostracized nation on Earth. In 2006 they tested their first Atomic Bomb. In JAN 2016, they tested their first Hydrogen Bomb (1000 times the power of A-Bomb).

          North Korea also successfully launched a missile from a submarine last month. This gives them the ultimate Fuck You Card. This is why we put our own nuke missiles on subs. They sail around totally undetected and infallible, able to strike anytime/anyplace, and there’s little to no way to defend against it.

          Containment will never work. The only solution is total elimination of Islam.

          I didn’t say total elimination of Muslims. I said total elimination of Islam. Or to be quite correct, we must have Worldwide criminalization of Islam, making the “practice or promotion” of it a capital offense. We can do that within our own borders, and force every other Muslim sovereignty on Earth to do the same.

          Here’s a link for an essay I wrote that describes the strategy in a bit more detail. The essay, though, is really an abstract for a 300 page book I’m writing:

          https://medium.com/@dantriplett/islamic-jihad-is-total-war-for-all-marbles-6c858098b76e#.bw4zjxgdy

          There’s no way to win this war without killing civilians. That’s what fools like Obama say who’ve never been military officers. Obama always thinks he’s the smartest guy on the planet, but the truth is he doesn’t have any idea how to win a war.

          Truth be told though, I don’t think Obama wants us to win the Islamic War. I believe he wants Dar al-Islam to prevail.

          Your post, and your blog essay, are so full of fantasy it’s hard to know where to begin.

          You want to vaporize cities at random, one every 3 days, and criminalize Islam here.

          You use the example of North Korea as a deadly threat to justify your assertion that “we can’t wall them out.”

          By the way, would you vaporize North Korea also? So, your response to every threat would be to vaporize their cities (or villages) until they surrender? North Korea and China (not to mention Russia) also have nuclear weapons aimed at us…and have far more advanced civil defense than we do. You realize how vulnerable we are to even a stratospheric nuclear explosion?

          Let’s take your points one at a time, if we can get them into coherent form.

          1) Muslims are already inside the US and are citizens. We can’t keep them out because of the porous borders with Canada, let alone Mexico, so Islam should be criminalized as a capital offense.

          We can most certainly keep Muslims out, and deport the ones that sneak in. We control our borders and territory more effectively than bombing (and policing) 57 Muslim countries whose cities you want to vaporize one by one.

          You’re assuming that our government can muster the will to control Islam internally…or eradicate it. If our government had such a will, we wouldn’t be in one-tenth the problem we have now. I wouldn’t be opposed to invading Iran (and Pakistan) to destroy their nuclear weapons facilities…but nuking their cities is just crazy…not only very dangerous (worldwide fallout), but inefficient and ineffective. We have plenty of warning when Muslim countries are developing nukes. As far as internal controls, you know that right before 9/11 an airline employee noticed how strangely the hijackers were acting, but declined to mention it because of the prohibition on singling out Muslims. There’s a long way between that and nuking cities at random.

          There are 57 Muslim-majority countries. Do you want to start nuking cities in all of them randomly? That’s just plain cuckoo. Especially as with the will, we can fairly easily control or prevent entrance of Muslims into our country.

          Also, you know that domestic police, like in NYC, have been sued for observing mosques and simply noting down what they see. Again, if we had a tenth of the will that we should, lawsuits like this would be simply thrown out of court with prejudice.

          I agree that a moderate Muslim is as potentially dangerous as a radical. I’m not basing my arguments on being able to distinguish them.

          If you look at the history of immigration to the US, you will find that we had no problem with Muslims prior to 1965, when the Kennedy immigration act, allowing in all countries indiscriminately, was passed. If we can muster the will to nuke cities at random every 3 days, a horrific and totally ineffectual and nasty proposition, we can surely make an official policy that no more Muslims will be admitted to the US, and any Muslim inside not a citizen will be deported.

          Your solution is, literally, to nuke a population, when you simply need to deny them visas and enforce and strengthen immigration laws.

          As far as being subject to nuclear blackmail, you’d have to nuke North Korea and China as well.

          Islam, confined to its own territory, will degenerate into low-tech barbarism…

          Spain tried to convert the Muslims within its borders after 1492, and finally had to expel them all in the 1600’s, because they practiced Islam in secret, and were a threat. Who are you going to nuke in case of secret Islam in other countries? Even assuming your scheme worked, which it won’t.

          “Your post, and your blog essay, are so full of fantasy it’s hard to know where to begin.”

          You can begin by spending 22 years as an American military officer, and 6 years fighting a war for your country, dodging enemy fire and watching good men die.

          Then we’ll talk.

          Until then, I’ll waste no more time with you.

        To: RonaldB & Jay Boo
        ==================

        Hi Chaps,

        Why is anybody so hyped up about Maj. Triplett’s proposal?

        It will never, ever happen. Most Colonels will reject it outright, and definitely every General and strategic/political planer.

        Let’s have a look what Maj. Triplett is proposing, and if the US acts according to his proposal. Then at the primary, the mildest result, and the secondary result, the worst one. Both equally possible, and interdependent.

        And I wont even mention Islam!
        ========================.

        The US nukes three cities, modern weapons, about 50kT TNT. For comparison, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were about 12-15kT. Scene is set.

        First of all, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, thus the bulk of the wind direction is from west to east. And it being a hot region, a good bit of up drift towards the north. Temperature gradient is from hot to cold.

        Right, ‘best’ possible case, Israel, parts or all of Greece, the southern Balkans and Italy get radioactively contaminated. The leukaemia cases alone will lead to a collapse of the medical infrastructure. Would Israel accept that? Doubtful, but they are resourceful… But unlikely, that would require strong easterly winds for months on end.

        Now, the scene is set.

        Radioactive clouds head towards Australia, NZ, Japan and South Korea – no risk for the US. Except having lost all friends and even neutral supporters in the Pacific.

        But that cloud will spread, and (up winds) head towards India, Pakistan, North Korea, China and Russia. All of them nuclear powers. So, say 50,000 in each, leukaemia plus another 50,000 of various other cancers, deformed births to be a certainty. A few million square miles of land contaminated, a good chunk of that probably arable. Plus the same over the southern seas, contaminating fish stocks.

        Oh will this stupid Asians be stunned, that’s what America can and will do. Hohoho… So let’s die slowly and horribly and have plenty of deformed children and poisoned food, after all, Maj. Triplett has spoken. And our people will happily accept that.

        What happens if they don’t? New Dehli and Calcutta, no rooms in the hospitals, people dying in the streets of cancers, and starvation because of contaminated foods. With the utmost assurance: India will team up even with Pakistan, and everybody else, to retaliate! North Korea? Fire!

        That leaves Russia and China. China has repeatedly said, and it is assumed to be so, that it can and would survive a nuclear war, badly damaged, but their population base and size, yes, they could, and probably would. Maj. Tripplett said that the US hasn’t shot at China directly? What do you think that means for the Chinese leadership and its generals when radioactive clouds are heading towards Peking, Shanghai and Peking. Having contaminated on their way a few hundred thousand square miles of arable land, thus future food? To be exact, it will means nothing to them, they will fire! Or face the wrath of the Chinese people.

        That leaves Russia. The clouds wont reach Moscow, but southern Russia where much of its agriculture and a good chunk of its industry is located. Apart from that, the oilfields in Kazakhstan ans Siberia will de hit, definitely. The Russians will be terrified of Maj., Tripplett, do they wont do anything, hohoho! Believe me, they wont. Like China, Russia will issue one command: Fire!

        To detail China and Russia, these would, probably, not target American cities directly. After all, their cities haven’t been targeted. But the deserts of Nevada, Utah and Arizona are excellent, retaliatory targets. No city attacked, but lots of radioactive dust clouds in the air, drifting westwards, towards Detroit, Chicago, New York etc., and the western Atlantic. Unloading ‘their stuff’ over these cities, the farms and American fishing grounds. Just responding in equal measure.

        Political aftermath: The US in the Pacific, it will have anything between enemies and hostiles. Security arrangements? Cancelled, with immediate or near immediate effect. China and Russia, plus others, overjoyed! Trade agreements, cancelled. If not possible, the unions in every harbour will strike were US ships are concerned, loading/unloading – no! Bunkering, row back home!

        NATO? Iceland, Canada and Portugal may stay in, the rest? Good bye.

        As I said, Islam hasn’t be mentioned.

        Until now. What will they do? For starters, they will need security and ushers at the mosques, because people will be queuing to give prayers of thanks. Day and night shifts.

        Martyrs and new Mujahdeens? They may find Catholic ones in Manila and Atheists in Shanghai.

        No worries, Every General knows that, so does every strategic planing office and think tank. They understand Geography, meteorology, agriculture/fishing, that peoples have to eat and even that people don’t wont to die horribly, slowly. And they also know that hostile nuclear weapons are harmful to the US.

        Yes, Islam must be fought, and destroyed. First by military means, then legally and finally by reason and ridicule.

        Militarily:

        To commence, it isn’t just Islam/Muslims as such, it’s Saudi Arabia plus all OPEC gulf states. Their support for terrorist groups occurs to whatever group the individual supporter/financier fancies. The same holds true for the respective governments, and government organizations. There are two reasons for that, firstly, it doesn’t matter which group wins, it’s always the right one. Secondly, there is no coherent structure provided to be attacked, should the west actually have that idea. Further, it fulfills the Quranic requirement to ‘fight with goods or persons’. It is also congruent with the nature of participants who can be described as, shall we say, duplicitous.

        The action they fear is bombing, massive bombing to be precise, and confiscation of assets. These are the minimum actions required. Bombing refers to the palaces, they give a damn about their peoples.

        Problem: The number of jihadis will increase dramatically, but that wont last. You can’t fight without money. A Venetian General on the question what it takes to win: “First you need money, followed by more and even more money. Then victory is nearly assured.” (Prof. Paul Kennedy: Rise and fall of great powers).

        Further, the will of the Muslims must be broken, how? Quran emphasizes terror, and harsh, humiliating treatment of non-Muslims. Ergo, we must do as instructed by the Quran, bomb the civilians, that means damn the conventions, and afterwards be harsh to them. The latter is no problem from today’s point of view: Bring in Christians, Assyrians, Lebanese, Egyptian Copt’s etc. They are also trustworthy and reliable allies – they don’t like Muslims. The Muslim populations will be placed into their own territories, call these ‘caliphates’ or whatever you like. Essentially, reserved territories, after a few years, bring in the missionaries. Converts will have to be watched – inquisition? Yes, sort of, limited though. Unfortunately, there is no other way.

        Will the public stand for a bombing campaign, plus troops, as required? Yes. Once Europe is up in flames and the U.S. (at least to an extent) as well, which means hatred and fear in the general EU & US population.

        Of course, and again, after a bombing campaign, CONVENTIONAL!, troops on the ground are needed. There’s no way round that. The Christians will also require training.

          Daniel Triplett says: “…

          1) Where and when did you serve DFD? —
          2) You apparently believe you’re an expert about how American Field and Flag Officers are trained. — 3) Do you think I pulled this strategy out of my ass? (thank you for your language)

          As to 1) Irrelevant and non of your concern

          As to 2) ‘apparently’?, ‘believe?, etc. Also, as an ex-major, you are certainly not qualified to be counted as a flag officer, that is a general, admiral or higher. Even if you were active, you’d still would have way to go.

          As to 3) and incorporating 1 & 2: I never was a member of the US military. But one thing is sure and certain, the US Chiefs of Staff wont be particularly concerned about the strategies of field officers. The training of these Chiefs is certain to be of high quality, as those of British, German, Russian and other Generals. The textbooks from Caesar to Moltke, Napoleon, Clausewitz, Washington, Guderian, Rommel, Patton etc., I am confident they will know and understand these. Even if many of them have never been near a front line! They will also understand the import of politics and political ramifications. Moreover, they are sure to have also learned that ‘armchair’ generals discuss strategy. Whilst *real* generals discuss logistics, plus the political results in reference to the enemy, their own home country and their allies. Believe it or not, that is important in, and after, a war. As I said, ramifications, or implications if you so wish.

          I do not know from where or from what you have pulled your, in my opinion most irresponsible, strategy. But I do know this, and I repeat a sentence from above, namely that the US Chiefs of Staff wont be particularly concerned about the strategies of field officers. The exception here being of course colonels – which you are not. I also feel somewhat dubious about the implication that US generals will take majors into their confidence about strategic plans, or that they reveal these to field officers. Although, someone sarcastically minded could remark here that that would explain a lot about the US’s recent military… Well…

          There are many good reasons for this. I will give you an example: A certain corporal managed to become the leader of a country, and made himself head of the military. ‘His’ generals wanted jet fighters and bombers, and long range rockets. All available, or the development nearly completed. They also wanted extreme long range bombers, to hit factories behind the Urals and in the US. A company called Messerschmidt had already a wind tunnel tested design, ready for final development, able to carry 30 tonnes up to Detroit (a B52 carries about 35 to 45 tonnes).

          Fortunately for all of us, the corporal overrode the generals, he wanted dive bombers with howling sirens, masses of soldiers marching, and masses of cheap fighters to fill the sky with. Well, he was a good field officer… As I said, luckily for us, otherwise WW2 would have been over very quickly and decisively. And it would have been indeed a blitzkrieg, by all accounts.

          Further east there was a very experienced revolutionary and good organizer, did not serve in the army at all, but as a revolutionary fighter he was an excellent field officer. Became a ‘Generalissimo’. Bumped off most of his generals, but kept the experienced field officers. The German army went straight through them… They stammered and stumbled from one chaos into another. Each and every of their grandiose plans ended in disaster.

          So, now you know what I believe about US flag officers, I have the highest respect for them, have no doubt. Though, I fail to see you as a flag officer, you were not ‘even’ a colonel. But how you manage to count yourself into such esteemed ranks is only known to you.

          That does not mean that I am disrespectful to you given your service record. I have no doubt that as a field officer you were indeed successful, if not exemplary. And you are still devoted to your country and your service, thus your comrades. All that honors you greatly, beyond doubt. Nevertheless, I maintain what I said in my post, that what you propose is not only lacking, it would result in a disaster for the US, and its allies – that’s us. Islam must be fought, I agree. After victory, the ideological bit and ridicule. Outlawing? How do you want to outlaw thinking, believing? The ideological arguments must be won. That means we must defeat them and on the ground. Showing that we can kill more is no *permanent* victory. We showed them such superiority with machine guns and modern artillery, during colonial times. Didn’t work. They waited, and now “are at it” again. We have to destroy the ideology, that works, permanently.

          The incineration of several million people, as much as I hate them, (they are humans and I am a Christian) is wrong. It will only harden the resolve of the enemy, as it happened with the Germans and the Brits during and through the bombing campaigns; also, it will gain them sympathy, which is highly undesirable. Add to that the damage your proposed actions will cause to friends, allies, neutrals and potential foes alike, and I can describe your proposed strategy only in one word, and that is disastrous.

          Perhaps you care to refute in one form or another any of my objections in reference to your proposal? Just one or two.

          I noticed you failed to respond to any of these logical and reasonable objections of mine.

          Should you be able to do so, given your credentials that would certainly be most interesting, please try to refrain from bad language. After all, given your rank, if so, you should consider yourself to be a member of what is called the “Polite Society”.

          So, I look forward to refute any of my arguments. Should you be able to do so, I will of course try to counter these, or concede. As the case may be, if I stand to be corrected, I will accept that.

          Are you able to do so?

      Well expressed, D.T. : “start calling (Islam) what it really is, a criminal enterprise”

      When Mohammed first preached a peaceful, poor religion in Mecca, he got 150 followers, but when he founded the Islamic State in Medina (‘capital’), he began to raid, plunder, rape and enslave. The cult’s numbers exploded and grew exponentially! Islam was a get-rich-quick scheme. Today the allure of Islam is still psychopathy…that’s why so many convicts are drawn to it.

        Don’t be a stupid two-faced hypocrite.

        RonaldB just criticized Daniel Triplett’s plan to:
        “Vaporize every city in the Middle East”
        Why do you compliment Daniel’s plan of genocide?

        You are the first one to smugly nitpick and slander as Nazis when others question your asinine soft on Muslims deprogramming scheme.

        • Daniel Triplett says

          May 6, 2016 at 3:37 pm

          I don’t see the word “genocide” anywhere in my post, nor have I ever advocated such a war crime in my hundreds of posts on JW.

          Why are you slandering me with things I don’t say?

          And what’s your plan to win this Islamic War, or do you just like criticizing those of us who are willing to publicly articulate one?

          @Jay Boo

          I didn’t say “vaporize every city in the middle east.” RonaldB did, when he couldn’t begin or win a debate against the words I actually said. So he just made crap up. Just like you’re doing.

          Learn to read.

          You make yourself look like just as much a fool as RonaldB. I expected better from you Jay Boo. Disappointing.

        • Jay Boo says

          May 7, 2016 at 12:47 pm

          Admit it and move on.
          Here below, is that portion of your own comment.
          ———————————————————————–

          “…Recall all US personnel from Dar al-Islam, then let our nukes do the apostatizing for us. One random target every three days until every Muslim government surrenders Islam.

          As long as they do that, let them keep their governments, territory, and oil.

          If they resist. They watch their cities get vaporized one every three days until they no longer resist…”

          Yes RonaldB paraphrased and summarized with:
          “Vaporize every city in the Middle East”

          However as anyone who can read can clearly see from your comment above that is in fact, essentially what you said like it or not.

        • Daniel Triplett says

          May 7, 2016 at 3:03 pm

          @JayBoo

          No, you read exactly what I said, then made inference based on your prejudice.

          I still notice you haven’t offered a winnable strategy to win this epic war we face. Because you don’t have one, but you take delight in disparaging those of who do.

          Try spending two decades as a US Commissioned Officer, four years sitting in a classroom learning war strategy and how to win them, and six years actually fighting in a war.

          Perhaps that will teach you about the real World, offer you humility, and give you practical perspective about the enemies we face and the unprecedented measures required to win this war.

    • Westman says

      May 7, 2016 at 11:46 am

      Hypothetically, it would be an improvement if there was a God who cared enough to remove every Muslim Cleric or Muslim leader who issued a death fatwa.

      Since all religions have God merely running a bookeeping exercise until the Judgement, men are free to declare themselves to be God’s representative without immediate consequences; which has the same civil effect as no God while these power seekers, in both sheep and wolves clothing, assume the role of leadership in areas of real political and physical power.

      Unfortunately, that means the “little” and “average” people must look out for themselves and, in extremely serious matters, bypass or remove “leadership” when it is corrupted beyond any capacity to protect and is a parasite on society. It takes a Pearl Harbor, 9/11, 7/7, Charlie Hebdo, Paris Massacre, etc, to wake these leadership charlatans up for a brief spell then it’s back to hedonism.

      Daniel’s solution is viable but cannot be justified. Our “leaders” have so solutions; even the Pope is expecting to be eaten last through foot kissing.

      Whether one believes in God or not, the solution must come from the people regardless of their religious affilliation. If most Muslims want a peaceful Islam they must stop the militants among them. If Europeans want the continuance of self-determination it will likely, without Islamic reform, come to civil war.

      • Daniel Triplett says

        May 7, 2016 at 2:18 pm

        “Daniel’s solution is viable but cannot be justified.”

        This is how wars have been won for millennia. The only thing that’s changed is the efficiency of weapons at our disposal.

        Every US Major and above is still taught these strategies to this day.

        War is a Battle of Wills. Whichever side loses the will to fight first, loses the war. By that measure, we are losing this war now

        Allowing political correctness to interfere with winning war strategy will get us all killed.

        • RonaldB says

          May 7, 2016 at 2:56 pm

          There are 56 Muslim countries, by no means confined to the Middle East.

          Do you intend to vaporize cities at random in Malaysia, Brunei, Mali, Mauritania, Afghanistan, Niger, Senegal, …

          You get the idea.

          To propose vaporizing cities at random in Muslim-majority countries, however far from any threat to the US, is just … well, mindless.

          I sincerely hope the training and education for field-grade officers is more nuanced and realistic than that which you portray.

        • Daniel Triplett says

          May 8, 2016 at 1:43 am

          @RonaldB

          Here’s a tip:

          If you want to engage in intellectual and productive discourse with a man, particularly a man whose on the same side of the war as you, don’t behave like a 13-year old by opening the dialogue with crap like this:

          “Why bother posting something this stupid?

          Vaporize every city in the Middle East? Idiotic!!!”

          Not only are you insulting, but you intentionally misstate my remarks, trying to pick a fight.

          Get some humility, learn some respect, and grow the fuck up. I have zero interest in wasting what little free time I have by speaking with such an arrogant ass.

          As I said, I’ll be wasting no more time with you. My advice is to stop wasting your time writing to me. Your posts will go unanswered. I outgrew people like you in Junior High.

        • RonaldB says

          May 8, 2016 at 2:53 am

          I admit the opening was unnecessarily hostile, accusatory and unproductive. I was shocked by the suggestion of continual nuking of cities and didn’t realize you were completely serious.

          As for future posting, if you say something worth commenting on or disputing, I’ll comment on it. You’re free to reply or not, as you wish. I would be interested in your comments on DFD’s very knowledgeable posting, however. He clearly knows what he is talking about and it would be enlightening to see your response, if any.

    If one is willing to say “no” to the veil, then one must be willing to say “yes” to beheading. Just ask the Pope and his stooge Cardinals. The Paparazzi Pope has the nerve to ask where is the humanism of Europe, when he supports those who threaten it most.

  4. LaLa says

    May 6, 2016 at 12:28 pm

    Unfortunately it is our world as well. With the Islamic movement in America (like the rest of the world) there is no place safe. It is only going to get worse if people do not wake up and look at what is happening all around them. It is right in their faces, but they do not see.

    We need to pray for our nation and for the world, seriously.

  5. Jay Boo says

    May 6, 2016 at 1:19 pm

    Ayaan Hirsi Ali calls the headscarf and veil “badges of inferiority”.

    Muslim men leer at un-covered women while saying look, that is disgraceful as an excuse to keep looking, if anyone else is around.
    Otherwise they just stare and drool like fools.

  6. Wellington says

    May 6, 2016 at 1:21 pm

    Again demonstrating that Islam’s best ally is fear, unless it is the tons of clueless dhimmis who still don’t “get” Islam and keep making excuses for it, in which case fear is Islam’s second best ally. I think I’ll stick with fear as best ally though it is a close call.

    An interesting news story. Especially with the knowledge that the propagandists for Islam have the gall to claim that Islam “respects women.” We can all see how true that claim is.

      Muslims follow MO’s example.

      One day Muhammad went to creeping and while peeping, saw his undressed daughter in law . He knew that he should not stare. He knew it was sinful and wrong because a prophet of Allah is supposed to be righteous and morally strong.
      If only he had a magical inspiration or some clarity to help defend his depraved depravity.

      Suddenly, before 3 female pagan gods could call him a liar, Muhammad received a ‘revelation’ about his Islamic duty to have wild crazy sex with his very own daughter-in-law from none other than, his very own —- Allah

      • allahu snackbar says

        May 6, 2016 at 9:09 pm

        It baffles me how anyone can read about the life of Muhammad (dog feces be upon him) and not see how he was just faking all of his “revelations”. Stuff like that is clear proof. Everything benefited him. Some magic man in the sky just so happens to think some random guy in the desert is the most awesome person ever for no real reason. It’s ridiculous.

        “because a prophet of Allah is supposed to be righteous and morally strong.”

  10. RonaldB says

    I remember seeing the film “Osama”. It was striking, tragic. It was a hell of a lot more critical of Islam and the Taliban version than a picture of an uncovered woman could ever be.

    The real enemy of Islam, when you get to it, is intelligence, art and creativity. Nothing seems to drive the Islamists more bonkers than a happy, productive, creative individual. Islam has the one goal of spreading itself, like the AIDS virus, and so every human trait is subsumed and subverted to that goal. It’s like Freud’s “Civilization and its Discontents” on steroids. Freud wrote about how civilization developed because primitive man learned to control his destructive instincts, and transfer the energy into productive, rather than destructive, channels. Of course, civilization also generated inherent, but controllable, frustration, as men were not able to indulge their most primal instincts. The price of civilization was the channeling and suppressing of destructive, but deeply-satisfying, instincts.

    The ire of Islamists is raised against any Muslim who happens to pull himself out of the gutter through the expression of joy, creativity, or productivity…anything but the impulse to stab, bomb, and kill.

        @ gravenimage

        “And even more, who would threaten to murder her if she did not comply?”

        Too bad we can’t make a trade: Have her come to America to live freely, and in return we’d send to Afghanistan all those “feminists” who voluntarily cover themselves and constantly defend and shill for Islam. What do you think? It seems to me this solution would make all sides happy. How’s that for diplomacy? Maybe I should run for president.

        Maybe Arianna Huffington should wear a veil.

          Believe me, these are very interesting. Should be mandatory for the wear-a-hijab-day crows. The Pakistani actress in the first video was safe in Abu Dhabi, trusted the assurances of Islamic justice (?) in Pakistan – and got 12 years…

        Here you go again: “God, I hate Islam.”

        Please, stop being so egotistic, use the plural please, the plural. As in:

    I hadn’t realized that this was the actress who had been in the film Osama.

    I would say this is grimly ironic, but it really just proves how oppressive and violent Islam is.

    Where is that silly pastor’s wife who wears the hijab? Perhaps she should be taking off the hijab in solidarity with Marina.

    • mortimer says

      May 7, 2016 at 12:23 pm

      The pastor’s wife assumed the veil was a symbol of reverence. SHE WAS NAIVELY GUESSING. However, the real purpose of the Islamic veil is enslavement. Every woman is the absolute property of her male owner. The male gets ‘honor’ if the woman is under his control. He loses ‘honor’ if she is not under his control. That makes the male look weak. The solution to loss of honor is honor-killing which makes the male look ‘strong’ again and a pious Muslim.

      The wearing of the veil is directly connected to the threat of honor-killing.

    As a youth, just graduating from High School in the late 1969’s, I could never even begun to imagine that the evils of some 7th century psycopath would still be haunting this planet here, in the 21st century!
    Islam has brought nothing forward but blood, death, insanity and destruction. It eradication seems ling over due. Unlike the generation of the 1940’s that saved our world from Hitler and his Nazism, today’s modern city dweller seems content to just sit back and watch the end of civilization itself unfold before them right on their television screens!
    What a horrific thought! A future world dominated by islam and sharia. Where are the hero’s who must step forth now, before it is too late, to save the future for our children and grandchildren?
    I think that leaders like Roosevelt or Winston Churchill would turn over in the grave if they could but see what is happening today in Britain and America.

  16. Jaem says

    May 9, 2016 at 11:59 pm

    We should be ashamed to support the wearing of hijab and burka as both were pretty much forced on women by tyrannical religious governments under the threat of imprisonment and physical punishment.
    Don’t believe me? Look at any video of Iran before the Shah was overthrown, try one in the early 79s and you will see that almost none of the women wore hijab or burka. They were free to dress as women!

    We are honestly living in a world where crazy seems to be the new normal and evil is promoted as good, good shouted down as evil…good luck everyone ’cause we have to step up our opposition to crazy!
