Islam

Open your eyes, fools

European Union

How bad is it?

European Union foreign ministers condemned on Saturday a Dutch film that accuses the Koran of inciting violence, but said its author had a right to make it under the bloc's free speech principles.

So people still have the right to disagree with Islamic extremists, but our governments no longer do disagree.

Great.

Wilders' anti-Islam movie Fitna released

Anglosphere

Hurray for freedom of speech: Fitna has been released! And is it the hate-spreading, insulting, inappropriate movie people expected it to be?

No, not really. It simply joins loads of existing footage of NYC's 9/11, Madrid's March 11, London's 7/7 together with Koran texts and speeches. The ultimate message? The Islam seeks to conquer/control Europe. We stopped Nazi oppression in 1945, communist oppression in 1989.. now it's time to stop the Islamisation of Europe.

Well done, Geert Wilders. This movie is simply a strong and clear message and not at all insulting, unless you seriously believe not a single nation state or organised system is using the Islam to dominate others, or that such oppression is actually a good thing.

The Tenth Crusade

Anglosphere

I've decided to ignore the Christian lawsuit against Madonna's blasphemy on here. Christian radicalism is of the boring kind. For the truly insane material, look no further than the Islamists who now go as far as implying the Pope breached human rights:

Islamic countries asked the U.N. Human Rights Council to examine the question of religious tolerance on Monday, saying that Pope Benedict's remarks on Islam threaten to alienate Muslims from the West.

However burning effigies, attacking churches and murdering a Christian nun are all relatively harmless incidents. And not at all alienating the West from Muslims. And while cool, reasonable Muslims aim to hunt down the murderer, the Islamists publish another call for jihad:

"We shall break the cross and spill the wine. ... God will help Muslims to conquer Rome ... God enable us to slit their throats, and make their money and descendants the bounty of the mujahideen," said the statement.

Someone should teach these rascals some discipline and launch a crusade. Oh, wait:

This crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while.

George W. Bush, September 16, 2001.

Indeed, a crusade it should be. Let's fill the canals of Amsterdam with Islamist blood.

Coochies, ew!

European Union

Dutch Queen Beabitch won't shake hands during her mosque visit in The Hague. Submission? Of course not!

"In principle, men and women do not touch each other if they are not direct family", says Hibatunnoer Verhagen, chairman of the Ahmediyya-movement in Netherlands. "Which includes hands. It has nothing to do with inequality, it is in fact a sign of respect."

Oh, that's what it is. Let me try that as well. In principle, Islam's teachings apply to 7th century Saudi Arabia. So refusing the religion a safe haven in 21st century Europe has nothing to do with intolerance, it is in fact a sign of respect.

More seriously, this particular principle is not very compatible with Dutch values either. Most Dutchmen including myself happen to be quite fond of touching women who aren't direct family. This fondness seems kick in around puberty. Therefore I deduce that certain Islamists are either very immature about male/female relationships ("coochies, ew!") or that possibly they suffer from a severe case of Oedipus complex.

Death to Islam! ;-)

Anglosphere

Apparently not everyone in Afghanistan has read my entry on Western enlightenment and moral superiority. And while my post title is mere sarcasm, religious freedom remains a no-no in the Islamic world as Abdul Rahman might still face the death penalty for his religious beliefs:

More than a thousand protesters took to the streets in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif on Monday morning.

They demanded that Mr Rahman be tried and executed for converting to Christianity.

With chants of "Death to Bush!", they warned the international community to keep off the case.

And there's the silver lining of this particular cloud: apparently the Anglosphere has marginalised the rest of the world to the point where the POTUS now represents the entire international community. Good job, Dubya!

Rave the Desert

Anglosphere

Hakkûhbar (Dutch gabber parody from the 1990s) sounds a lot like Allahu akbar (الله أكب). Ever wondered why? I never did, until I watched this video of a Muslim rave party. Seriously, it all makes sense now.

Via Zacht Ei via The Dissident Frogman via a Samizdata comment. And please I realise we too have countless nutters (i.e. the M$/-spelling bling-bling Paris Hilton breezah suicidal cutter bat-teenie generation), I'm quite aware. But it doesn't make the video less funny.
