April 16, 2007, 2:12 p.m.You can't put out a gasoline fire without destroying all the fuel. Is that our goal, to kill all that oppose us? The majority?

April 16, 2007, 10:58 p.m.Edwards has morals and convictions, not arrogance and a wrong decision maker for our country. What will, not maybe, be Bushies legacy,
Worst president in our history.
Possibly to be put on trial by the world for mass murder, this naturally includes Dickie boy.
Destroyers of the American economy by hoodwinking the public by increasing America national debt to an all time high. Fiscally irresponsible.
Blamed for the deaths and maiming of numerous soldiers for a cause of insanity.
His library will never succeed, lack of interest.
A real smuck for America. Now if that is to strong write your leader and have my phone tapped and my correspondence intercepted and my car followed.

April 16, 2007, 11:10 p.m.Is the surge working? Bomb explodes inside Parliament instead of outside - that's better, right?
I mean, if a bomb went off inside your Capitol building killing Congressmen and staffers, you would call that successful security, right?

Question, what the f@@K is an islamo fascist?
If you do not know I will tell you!
"Juan Cole, a professor of modern Middle East and South Asian history at the University of Michigan, calls it offensive and a far-too-broad confusion of religion and politics.
Writing for the U.S. publication "Informed Comment" in 2004, Cole argued: "Islam is a sacred term to 1.3 billion people in the world. It enshrines their highest ideals. To combine it with the word 'fascist' in one phrase is a desecration and a form of hate speech."
To use this remark in any of your comments shows a severe lack of judgment and or education on your part.

April 17, 2007, 12:23 a.m.Last I checked. No one directly reports military tactical information to Edwards. But hey, I get all my information from TV and the internet. Which is more valid than anything the troops in the field have to say for the matter.

April 17, 2007, 1:59 a.m.CANBERRA AUSTRALIA: Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law were told on Wednesday to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. A day after a group of mainstream Muslim leaders pledged loyalty to Australia at a special meeting with Prime Minister John Howard, he and his ministers made it clear that extremists would face a crackdown.
Treasurer Peter Costello, seen as heir apparent to Howard, hinted that some radical clerics could be asked to leave the country if they did not accept that australia was a secular state and its laws were made by parliament. "If those are not your values, if you want a country which has Sharia law or a theocratic state, then Australia is not for you," he said on national television. "I'd be saying to clerics who are teaching that there are two laws governing people in Australia, one the Australian law and another the Islamic law, that is false.

April 17, 2007, 2:02 a.m.France is probably the worst affected of all western nations by immigration, since it is on the brink of losing its European identity to the insistent Muslims increasing in numbers within French borders. As they grow in population, they come to believe they can impose the will of Islam on the French people, who seem oblivious to it.
With a population of five million Muslims, France is holding a tiger by the ears. The threat of violence from radical Islamic elements cannot be far from politicians' minds. Wherever there are large numbers of Arabs, there is crime and violence, particularly against women.
France should be seen as a cautionary tale of immigration run amok, and how quickly things get out of control. Muslim immigration to France is a post-war phenomenon for the most part: just of few decades of high immigration of a group with high fertility has put France in the unenviable position of being the European nation thought most likely to be the first to introduce sharia law.

April 17, 2007, 2:03 a.m.European Jihad
According to this writer, the anti-semitic violence is worse in Belgium than in France, and cites a particularly nasty riot. A "pro-peace" rally in Antwerp peopled by mostly Morrocan Arab immigrants savaged a Jewish section of the city reminiscent of Kristallnacht. The author remarked, "Everybody knew that what happens in France can happen in Belgium as well, because both countries have large populations of Jews and larger populations of Arabs." In another account of mounting violence against European Jews by Arabs, "Jews suffer surge of hate on streets of Belgium" (5/30/02), anti-semitic violence has become so normal that it is not mentioned in the news any more: "The incidents are now so common that they rarely make it into the local press."

April 17, 2007, 2:04 a.m.Liberte, Egalite, Judeophobie: Why Le Pen is the least of France's problems.
This Weekly Standard article paints a frightening picture of an angry Muslim population unwilling to assimilate. One young Muslim accosted a government minister saying, "F-- off! We don't want to live anymore in a country that has Jews in it!" Violent crime by this group was a major factor in the surprising electoral success of Mr. Le Pen. (Don't miss the rather subtle link at the end to the second part.)
Something Rotten in Denmark
The rapid influx of Muslims into Denmark has made life for the nation's 6,000 Jews increasingly frightening. A school principal told Jewish parents that she could no longer guarantee the safety of their children. Furthermore, anti-Israel demonstrations have become anti-Jewish riots, and a local Islamic organization has called for the murder of Jews "wherever you find them."

April 17, 2007, 2:04 a.m.Palestinian Riot in Montreal
On September 9, 2002, former Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu was invited to speak at Concordia University in Montreal. However, a riot of Palestinian students ensued, making it impossible for him to even enter the building safely. Jewish attendees were trapped for a time inside the building with the violent protesters and had to be escorted out 10 at a time by police. One comment to the original posting noted that Concordia has a high number of foreign students, particularly from Islamic nations.

April 17, 2007, 2:05 a.m.Synagogue Attacked in Riot-Torn Belgian City - Antwerp
After the murder of an Arab by a Belgian, local Arab radical Abu Jahjah inflamed local North Africans to disorder, in which Flemish and black-owned businesses were attacked, but those showing Arab European League stickers were spared. Included in the rioting was a molotov cocktail thrown at a synagogue. The Telegraph of the UK remarked that, "Belgium's liberal media agreed yesterday that the country's experiment with tolerant multiculturalism had totally broken down."

Attacks on synagogues have increased alarmingly according to this report (11/24/02). Many have hired full-time security as a result of fire-bombings and personal attacks. Canadian Jewish Congress has counted at least 50 incidents of arson, assault, graffiti and vandalism against Jewish targets since Israeli-Palestinian tensions increased in the Middle East in late September.

April 17, 2007, 2:07 a.m.France Is Not a Western Country Anymore
Still more distressing news from France, and how rapidly the French have abandoned their traditional values of liberty, equality and fraternity for a Muslim-ascendent culture of Sharia law and women's oppression. Time - crime in the banlieus plus page two.
Now that France is 20 percent Muslim, there are areas where women are simply not safe.
One in three French back saddam
During the 2003 war in Iraq, Franch public opinion went far beyond disapproving of the mere exercise of military force by the United States - they preferred the victory of the brutal tyrant.
France is almost finished
French writer Guy Milliere predicts that France will become majority Muslim in just 20 years.

April 17, 2007, 2:11 a.m.Why al-Qaeda Will Dominate the European Union
Pavel Kohout, of the Center for Economics and Politics in Prague, believes that Europe's cultural passivity and naive ideas about Islam will be its downfall:"Western European politicians want to believe that there is no clash of civilizations; that terrorism is just a product of misery and lack of education; that the solution lies in a multicultural, tolerant society; and that the stubbornness of the Americans and Israelis is to blame for all the problems. The demographic reality of a rapidly growing Muslim population in places like France, as well as the politics of oil, draw Europe more into the Islamic orbit and away from its own roots of democracy, Christianity and individual rights.
The Islamicization of France: "We've got native French girls in certain communities, where Muslims are the majority, that now wear the veil because of the frequent occurrence of physical harassment, attack and rape."

April 17, 2007, 2:12 a.m.Canada prepares to enforce Islamic law
Judges will give legal sanction to disputes between Muslims
November 28, 2003
Canadian judges soon will be enforcing Islamic law, or Sharia, in disputes between Muslims, possibly paving the way to one day administering criminal sentences, such as stoning women caught in adultery.
Muslims are required to submit to Sharia in Muslim societies but are excused in nations where they live as a minority under a non-Muslim government.
Canada, however, is preparing for its 1 million-strong Muslim minority to be under the authority of a Sharia system enforced by the Canadian court system, according to the Canadian Law Times.
Muslim delegates at a conference in Etobicoke, Ont., in October elected a 30-member council to establish the Islamic Institute of Civil Justice.
The institute is classified in Islamic law as a Darul-Qada, or judicial tribunal. Its bylaws are scheduled to be drafted and approved by Dec. 31.
