Spotted this “Who is John Galt?” stencil in my neighborhood.  It’s the first time I’ve ever seen any street art around here referencing Ayn Rand or Atlas Shrugged.

Shari’a Law: Coming Soon to a Location Near YOU

by 1389AD ( 145 Comments › )

If you’re a Christian and you live in a place where Christians have historically been safe, you cannot count on this safety to continue much longer.

Read this entire essay and see what Islamic expansionism is all about. It affects all of us, not only those who live in countries bordering on the Muslim world.

Zilla: Not Safe to Pray in Church, Not Safe to Pray at Home – No Refuge from the Jihad

…So islamic supremacists will harm you if you are a non-muslim and try to worship in a church, and if you decide it may be safer to worship inside a private home instead, they will attack you and it will be your fault!

Don’t think for one second that it can’t happen here; islam encroaches and devours civilizations incrementally, so the infidels will not notice until it is far too late, like the frog dropped into a pot of cool water who doesn’t realize he needs to get out as the temperature rises by single degrees, it never occurs to frog to leave the lovely warm water and the water soon boils. Islam intends to make non-muslims into their own version of frog soup.

Let’s look at some numbers to help illustrate this point (via Atlas Shrugs):

From Dr. Peter Hammond’s book: Slavery, Terrorism and Islam: The Historical Roots and Contemporary Threat.

Islamization begins when there are sufficient Muslims in a country to agitate for their religious privileges.

When politically correct, tolerant, and culturally diverse societies agree to Muslim demands for their religious privileges, some of the other components tend to creep in as well.

Here’s how it works:

As long as the Muslim population remains around or under 2% in any given country, they will be for the most part be regarded as a peace-loving minority, and not as a threat to other citizens. This is the case in:

United States — Muslim 0.6%
Australia — Muslim 1.5%
Canada — Muslim 1.9%
China — Muslim 1.8%
Italy — Muslim 1.5%
Norway — Muslim 1.8%

At 2% to 5%, they begin to proselytize from other ethnic minorities and disaffected groups, often with major recruiting from the jails and among street gangs. This is happening in:

Denmark — Muslim 2%
Germany — Muslim 3.7%
United Kingdom — Muslim 2.7%
Spain — Muslim 4%
Thailand — Muslim 4.6%

From 5% on, they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population. For example, they will push for the introduction of halal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature halal on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply. This is occurring in:

France — Muslim 8%
Philippines — 5% Sweden — Muslim 5%
Switzerland — Muslim 4.3%
The Netherlands — Muslim 5.5%
Trinidad & Tobago — Muslim 5.8%

At this point, they will work to get the ruling government to allow them to rule themselves (within their ghettos) under Sharia, the Islamic Law. The ultimate goal of Islamists is to establish Sharia law over the entire world.

When Muslims approach 10% of the population, they tend to increase lawlessness as a means of complaint about their conditions. In Paris, we are already seeing car-burnings. Any non-Muslim action offends Islam and results in uprisings and threats, such as in Amsterdam, with opposition to Mohammed cartoons and films about Islam. Such tensions are seen daily, particularly in Muslim sections in:

Guyana — Muslim 10%
India — Muslim 13.4%
Israel — Muslim 16%
Kenya — Muslim 10%
Russia — Muslim 15%

After reaching 20%, nations can expect hair-trigger rioting, jihad militia formations, sporadic killings, and the burnings of Christian churches and Jewish synagogues, such as in:

Ethiopia — Muslim 32.8%

At 40%, nations experience widespread massacres, chronic terror attacks, and ongoing militia warfare, such as in:

Bosnia — Muslim 40%
Chad — Muslim 53.1%
Lebanon — Muslim 59.7%

From 60%, nations experience unfettered persecution of non- believers of all other religions (including non- conforming Muslims), sporadic ethnic cleansing (genocide), use of Sharia Law as a weapon, and Jizya, the tax placed on infidels, such as in:

Albania — Muslim 70%
Malaysia — Muslim 60.4%
Qatar — Muslim 77.5%
Sudan — Muslim 70%

After 80%, expect daily intimidation and violent jihad, some State-run ethnic cleansing, and even some genocide, as these nations drive out the infidels, and move toward 100% Muslim, such as has been experienced and in some ways is on-going in:

Bangladesh — Muslim 83%
Egypt — Muslim 90%
Gaza — Muslim 98.7%
Indonesia — Muslim 86.1%
Iran — Muslim 98%
Iraq — Muslim 97%
Jordan — Muslim 92%
Morocco — Muslim 98.7%
Pakistan — Muslim 97%
“Palestine” — Muslim 99%
Syria — Muslim 90%
Tajikistan — Muslim 90%
Turkey — Muslim 99.8%
United Arab Emirates — Muslim 96%

100% will usher in the peace of ‘Dar-al-Salaam’ — the Islamic House of Peace. Here there’s supposed to be peace, because everybody is a Muslim, the Madrassas are the only schools, and the Koran is the only “Word”, such as in:

Afghanistan — Muslim 100%
Saudi Arabia — Muslim 100%
Somalia — Muslim 100%
Yemen — Muslim 100%

Unfortunately, peace is never achieved, as in these 100% states the most radical Muslims intimidate and spew hatred, and satisfy their blood lust by killing less radical Muslims, for a variety of reasons.

Do you still have any doubts about what is in store for us? Denial is not just a river in Egypt! You are not powerless. If you understand how the process of Islamization works, you can help to put a stop to it!

Read it all here.

An Open Letter to Robert Spencer and Pam Geller

by savage ( 164 Comments › )
Filed under Blogwars at August 28th, 2011 - 2:30 pm

There is a bit of a dilemma on our hands. Seems that Ace of Spades wrote a column here regarding Pam Geller and like clockwork, Pam went apeshit and wrote a long screed damning Ace. You can find it here…

It gets better. Robert Spencer over at Jihad Watch jumps into the fire with both feet trashing Ace for having the gall to comment on Pam and it goes on and on. You can find that here…

I have a few things to say about all of this, so bear with me. I have been in this blogwar for many many years, actually ten years now and most people I know know that I am not one to mince words, or get along to get along. The biggest problem I have (if you want to call it a problem) is that I will never sit around worrying what the hell people think of me. That is not, nor has it ever been an issue with me. I am who I am and I am going to tell people what I think and damn the consequences to me. Period, end of story, end of discussion. What you see in me is what you get. If you like that, fine, if not, no skin off my nose. I will tell you what I think, what I believe in, what I like and dislike, and what I feel is necessary to take care of issues and problems. By the way, I don’t say anything with the thought of kissing ass and making people wonder if I have some type of hidden agenda. That is definitely not who I am and that is not something that drives me. No way in hell.

In any case, this is what I think of this whole situation. It’s all a bunch of crap. Like a bunch of apes in a cage slinging shit at each other to see what sticks. One-upmanship at its finest. Looks like it’s time for me to set things straight in my own way and see if I can be a force for good or just another blogger screaming in the middle of the desert.

Robert, I have admired you greatly for a very long time, a VERY long time. You are a font of information that is without parallel or peer. Pam, you are and can be a real charmer that brings a lot of information forward also. Listen to me, both of you. I have had a lot of respect for your passion and your drive and your wisdom, but both of you are sinking to the bottom of the Marianas Trench and fast with your insane tendency to squash dissent of your point of view.

Tag teaming against Ace for expressing his opinion is ridiculous on its face and is beneath both of you. And Robert, your language in your latest essay leave me with a headache and a bitter taste in my mouth.

Ace of Spades is one of those juvenile, leering fratboy blogs that has never appealed to me

But Ace is wildly overstating his case when he says, in his typical half-witted beer swiller’s lingo

But I am not asking these questions of Ace, who is demonstrably dishonest.

Ace concludes: “This is anti-Jihadism quickly shading into anti-Americanism.” So now it’s “anti-American” to be skeptical about Rick Perry because he is too close to the Aga Khan and Grover Norquist? “Anti-American” to want to vet a candidate and not want the next president to have potentially compromising ties? Have another beer, Ace. Stick to what you’re good at.

Come on Robert! I though you were better than that. For fucks sakes, listen to what you are saying. Scholars don’t talk like this or shouldn’t. And I have had about enough of both of you going after THIS site for publishing a post about Rick Perry right here…

For anyone reading this post of mine who wants to know more why you had a hissy fit and delinked us from Jihad Watch, just go right here and read all about it…

Look you two, at this point in the grand game, Rick Perry is the best choice to defeat Barack Obama in the 2012 election. I would rather have a Presidential candidate that actually worked with a Muslim who is despised by the Muslim world and is a candidate for having his head chopped off in Chop Chop Square in Riyadh rather than this anti-Semitic Marxist sitting in the Oval Office doing every damn thing you can think of in enabling the march of the Grand Caliphate. All this sniping at a guy that expressed his own opinion is stupid and counterproductive and plays right in the hands of Barack Obama’s campaign staff.

I doubt very seriously that you guys will listen to me and I will not be surprised if you publish something at Atlas Shrugs and Jihad Watch calling me a pro-Sharia type. Well, go ahead if you dare. Makes no difference to me, but remember this. If Barack Obama wins reelection due to your efforts on tearing down Rick Perry, I lay that right at your feet. That will be the end result of your purity test.

The ball is in your court, guys. Make the most of what I have had to say.

In Defense of the EDL

by 1389AD ( 60 Comments › )
Filed under Special Report at July 4th, 2011 - 5:18 pm

THIS WILL OCCUPY THE SPECIAL REPORT SECTION UNTIL AT LEAST 1700EST Tuesday…We apologize for this thread getting canned, it is now back. We will try to have that not happen again. Please note Robert Spencer over at Jihad Watch requests that we also run ‘the other side of the story, in fairness and true Blogmocracy Tradition it is included. See it at the end of this post.–Coldwarrior

.

Admin note:
Three of the four owners of the blog believed this issue to be squashed and felt this thread was late and unnecessary. At the very least it needed a disclaimer. It read as if it was a Blogmocracy statement and the whole team had not been consulted. The one admin that fully agreed with it happened to be the one on duty ~:) and it was published without comment.

With respect to the EDL, all of the admins are in agreement and we absolutely stand with the EDL in their fight against the islamization of England. It is not contrary to that opinion that we also stand with Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller in saying that the EDL should do everything to make sure the message stays on focus and that they keep the fringe element from hijacking their cause.

We are republishing the thread in respect to 1389’s personal opinion with the note that AS ALWAYS, this is her opinion and her opinion only.

This thread was taken to “drafts” so the admins could discuss because it read as a Blogmocracy statement and all of the admins were not consulted before it was published. Although the original thread was inadvertently deleted, it is recreated below from google cache as close as we could get. Although a few comments were lost (the comment count should be in the 20s). We apologize for the errors.

An Open Letter to Pamela Geller

(Originally published on Gates of Vienna by Baron Bodissey.)

EDL header

I’ve bumped this post to the top and will keep it there for a while because so many additional signatories, including several Americans, have asked that their names be added to the list. Scroll to the bottom to see who’s there — some may surprise you.

Update (3:04am EDT): Added one more. (3:24am EDT) Added another one. (3:33am EDT) Added a Dane.

Update (7/1/2011 11:51am EDT): While I was asleep, eight more people signed on. That gives us a total of 27. Some of the names will be familiar to you…

Also: Europe News should never have been on the signature list. That was an error on my part, and I apologize.

(3:56pm EDT): Added another American. (9:55pm EDT): Yet another American.

As most readers already know, earlier today Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs posted a prominent repudiation of the English Defence League, including references to their alleged infiltration by “neo-fascists”.

A group of Counterjihad bloggers and writers has joined together to publish this open letter to Ms. Geller. Most of us are Europeans, but not all — we also have signatories from the United States, Canada, and Australia.

If you are a blogger or a writer and want to add your signature to this letter, please send your name and URL to me (unspiek [at] chromatism [dot] net), or to the proprietors of other sites where it has been posted.

Update (9:13pm EDT): Two more signatories have been added to the list. (12:35am 7/1) One more added. (12:49am) Added another. (1:16am EDT) Added one more.

Dear Ms. Geller,

We the undersigned are writing to register our astonishment and dismay at your public denunciation of the English Defence League, and in particular your reference to the “neo-fascists that had infiltrated the administration of the group”.

This is a grossly inaccurate and unfair slander against the leaders and membership of the EDL, who have never wavered in their refusal to include neo-Nazis, fascists, or adherents of any other ideology that seeks to divide people based on their ethnicity. The core mission of the EDL has always been, and remains, to stop the encroachment of sharia and Islamic fascism.

For the past two years the English Defence League has been on the front lines of the resistance to sharia and militant Islam in England. Its leaders have put their own lives in danger by doing so. They live under constant threat, not just from murderous Muslim zealots, but from their own government, which has harassed and arrested them repeatedly. Tommy Robinson, the leader of the EDL, has been arrested multiple times, and is currently facing trumped-up charges designed to put him and the EDL out of action.

To paraphrase Geert Wilders: “I was dragged to court by leftist and Islamic organizations that were bent not only on silencing me but on stifling public debate.” The EDL is being dragged into a kangaroo court of uninformed public opinion. The more people’s fears can be raised, the more quickly debate can be smothered.

In the final analysis, as Geert Wilders points out, the strength of our community depends on the freedom we feel to “enter our convictions in the open lists to win or lose”.

All communities inevitably experience conflicts based on differences of opinion. It is crucial that we approach one another’s efforts in good faith, presume the other’s efforts to be well-meaning until conclusively proven otherwise, support initiatives made by others that further our common cause, and refuse to be dragged into parsing ever more finely our differences.

Our ideal of the “perfect” can kill any merely “good enough” effort.

Your unfortunate statements were picked up and repeated by other websites and blogs, some of them quite prominent and well-respected. This has done harm to our common cause, and has driven a completely needless wedge between the American and European wings of the international Counterjihad.

To help heal the damage that has been done, we insist that you apologize in a public forum to the English Defence League.

Its leaders and members are heroes, and their organization is widely considered a beacon of hope in Europe. All Europeans who resist the Islamization of their countries look to the EDL for inspiration, and all of them stand in solidarity with it in its struggle.

We strongly request that you reconsider your deplorable words and withdraw them.

Sincerely yours,

From Saberpoint:

Below are the comments that made the cache at google (I hear the thread was in the 20’s, but those comments are lost (unless a particular marsupial caught them???? : ))

From Jihad Watch:

Groundswell of support for Geller and Spencer on EDL

Pamela Geller has an important update on the recent blogwar over the English Defence League:

Apparently an update is required on the blogwar against Atlas that is being waged by vultures with an altogether nefarious agenda. It’s not important, because these bottomfeeders just bang keyboards and jockey for position on the bottom of the food chain. But to be clear …….

I stand by my concern about the increasing antisemitism in the ranks of the admins at the EDL. We have no intention of breaking with the EDL if they purge these antisemitic elements. If they do not, they will be finished as a force for good in England. I was immediately reassured that these rogue elements would be routed out. End of story. This campaign to gang up on Geller by small “counter-jihadists” trying to make a name for themselves clearly is motivated by something enitrely different. Something very ugly and transparent.

ZionistsNotWelcomeEDL.jpg
There are pages and pages of this kind of stuff. Here is just one example. “Hel Gower” is a powerful EDL administrator. She “liked” this page.

We applaud those who stand against this kind of poison. As John Jay wrote, “Pamela Geller did not cause any problems in the EDL; she simply recognized them. And this fact was admitted, endorsed, recognized and a promise adduced by Tommy Robinson to fix it.”

And Brian of London said: “Pamela is one of the stalwarts of the counter Jihad. She’s doing great work over in America and I don’t like the way in which she was personally attacked (along with Robert Spencer) over this.”

Bravo.

Calling attention to a problem is not a crime. We are not the problem. There can be no compromise with antisemitic elements in the EDL or anywhere else. As Ayn Rand said, “In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit.”

I understand that several people have asked that their names be removed from the list of signers of Gates of Vienna’s “Open Letter to Pamela Geller.” They are to be commended for righting a wrong. Get the facts, first. Many of those who have signed have not a cursory knowledge of what actually happened.

Many good people have written in support and defense of me in GoV’s recent attack (their entire front page was attacking me in one giant hot mess). I am not sure who he is working for or why, but it’s not kosher. That’s for shiz.

Here is a partial list of people and groups that support our position. Considering that it is the holiday weekend, this is an extraordinary outpouring of support, and we are grateful.

UPDATE: It is important to note that while we asked some people we worked with to sign on, the great majority of the above list came on their own volition. The “Baron” at Gates of Vienna writes: “For the record: I sent out no emails soliciting support for our open letter.” For the record, I received this earlier today from a prominent blogger whom I had asked to sign our statement: “People on the other side of this current feud have contacted me as well.” Of course, the “Baron” no doubt had other people contact this person, keeping his statement strictly, albeit Jesuitically, true.

UPDATE 7:46PM: Sisu is in.

UPDATE 7:47PM: Marked Manner “totally supports our stance.”

Pamela comments: “Tommy Robinson has been a mensch all through this, in acknowledging that there is a problem that needs to be addressed, instead of denying it and shooting the messenger, like the writers of this ‘Open Letter.'”

UPDATE 8:10PM: Kafir at American Jingoist stands with us.

UPDATE 8:15PM: Razor Sharp Claws stands shoulder to shoulder with us.

UPDATE 8:19PM: Puma by Design is on our side.

UPDATE 9:20PM: American Glob oozes support.

UPDATE 9:39PM: Counter-jihadist Holger Awakens stands with us.

UPDATE 10:25PM: Despite being asked by GoV to sign their “Open Letter” (although the “Baron” claimed he had sent out no emails begging for signatures), Bare Naked Islam asked to join our list of supporters. She told Pamela Geller: “Gates of Vienna asked me to sign his letter and I refused.”

UPDATE 12:04AM: Barry Sommer of Islam Today Oregon stands with us also.

UPDATE 12:15AM: Now joining us and most welcome is Narain Kataria, the President of the Indian American Intellectuals Forum.

UPDATE: 12:51AM: Matt of Conservative Hideout wants to add his blog to the list.

UPDATE 1:34AM: Philip Daniel, a scholar of Islamic history and Qur’anic exegesis, and blogger at The Blogmocracy, writes to Pamela Geller: “After reading over your blogpost, alongside having considered other material from diverse sources — now, following a period of deep introspection on this issue, I’ve made my decision, rendered my verdict. I know I’m going to receive a great deal of flack over this from certain quarters, but add me to your list of supporters.”

UPDATE 7:32 AM: UNCOVERAGE.net “stands with Pamela.”

UPDATE 9:02AM: That’s so Haram shouts out support live from Tokyo (thanks, Zilla).
