Mumbai vs. Oslo
by Pamela Geller:
Just days before a psychopath (alone and belonging to no one, no group, just the twisted sickness of a legend in his own broken mind) murdered over seventy people in Norway, the city of Mumbai was attacked in a brutal jihad by Muslim extremists, again. Hear about that? Not so much.
But one crackpot who has been planning a slaughter in Norway (setting his plan in motion before 911) has become the rallying cry of the dhimmedia in service to the most radical and extreme ideology on the face of the earth.
Where is the same obsessive drive to determine the motivation and the manifesto behind the jihad? Where are the investigative reports on the imams and the mosques that teach, advance and prescribe violence? Where is the Woodward and Bernstein team to investigate what motivated a Muslim to gun down U.S. soldiers in Arkansas?
Where’s the round the clock coverage of the Muslim Zazi, who plotted to blow up the NY subway system with the help of his father and his imam on the anniversary of 911? Where’s the relentless outcry and handwringing over the ideology that attracts young Muslims in America to join Muslim armies in Somalia? Why are there no television specials on why Osama Bin Laden quoted allah and koran extensively? What manifesto incited four Muslims in a jihad plot to bomb NYC synagogues and shoot down military planes with stinger missiles?
Where is the pained outcry over Fort Hood jihadi Major Hasan and his powerpoint presentation on Islam and the jihadic doctrine? What motivated a Pentagon attack suspect back in June (a marine, no less) to plot to bomb the Department of Defense? Was it his religious Al Qaeda notebook? This same pious Muslim was found to be responsible for recent random shootings at military installations in and around DC. Diane Sawyer, call your office.

‘No porn or prostitution’: Islamic extremists set up Sharia law controlled zones in British cities
By Rebecca Camber:
Islamic extremists have launched a poster campaign across the UK proclaiming areas where Sharia law enforcement zones have been set up.
Communities have been bombarded with the posters, which read: ‘You are entering a Sharia-controlled zone – Islamic rules enforced.’
The bright yellow messages daubed on bus stops and street lamps have already been seen across certain boroughs in London and order that in the ‘zone’ there should be ‘no gambling’, ‘no music or concerts’, ‘no porn or prostitution’, ‘no drugs or smoking’ and ‘no alcohol’.
Hate preacher Anjem Choudary has claimed responsibility for the scheme, saying he plans to flood specific Muslim and non-Muslim communities around the UK and ‘put the seeds down for an Islamic Emirate in the long term’.
In the past week, dozens of streets in the London boroughs of Waltham Forest, Tower Hamlets and Newham have been targeted, raising fears that local residents may be intimidated or threatened for flouting ‘Islamic rules’.

Judge Clears Way for Sodexo to Present Evidence of Extortion in RICO Suit Against SEIU
by Liberty Chick:
You may recall that Sodexo slapped the SEIU with a RICO suit in March, citing the labor union’s “blackmail, vandalism, trespass, harassment, and lobbying law violations designed to steer business away from Sodexo USA and harm the company.” SEIU had filed a motion to dismiss the suit, but according to a press release just issued, a United States District Judge has denied the SEIU’s motion and ruled that Sodexo’s case can proceed.

New York Times Reader Kills Dozens in Norway
by Ann Coulter:
The New York Times wasted no time in jumping to conclusions about Anders Behring Breivik, the Norwegian who staged two deadly attacks in Oslo last weekend, claiming in the first two paragraphs of one story that he was a “gun-loving,” “right-wing,” “fundamentalist Christian,” opposed to “multiculturalism.”
It may as well have thrown in “Fox News-watching” and “global warming skeptic.”
This was a big departure from the Times’ conclusion-resisting coverage of the Fort Hood shooting suspect, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. Despite reports that Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar!” as he gunned down his fellow soldiers at a military medical facility in 2009, only one of seven Times articles on Hasan so much as mentioned that he was a Muslim.
Of course, that story ran one year after Hasan’s arrest, so by then, I suppose, the cat was out of the bag.
In fact, however, Americans who jumped to conclusions about Hasan were right and New York Times reporters who jumped to conclusions about Breivik were wrong.

Nationally Syndicated Talk Show Defends Walid Against CNN and CAIR
WALID SHOEBAT:
Vic Eliason host of Crosstalk on a Christian syndicated radio talk show on ninety one stations across the USA gives voice to Walid. Vic and Walid exposes CNN and CAIR on a most comprehensive interview yet.
Violence is not the answer
Pity Condell didn’t include falsely associated Christians and Christianity specifically as he should have but Condell is too much of anti-Christian bigot to do that, unfortunately.
Anders Breivik is Not a Christian. Period.
Peter C. Glover:
I have just witnessed Bill O’Reilly of Fox News and Washington Post resident leftie Sally Quinn who edits WPs ‘On Faith’ section – I can’t think of anyone intellectually less qualified on the issue of faith from what I have heard from her – over whether Anders Breivik would be called a Christian. Thus, as the New York Times would have it Breivik must be a “Christian Terrorist”, much as we feel able to use the term “Muslim Terrorist”.
Not so, and here’s why.

New York Times Convicts Spencer of Guilt for Norway Murders
by Robert Spencer:
Finally, a word on the Times hit piece, in which I am a significant presence, and yet neither Scott Shane nor anyone else at the Times bothered to contact me for any comment whatsoever.
“Killings in Norway Spotlight Anti-Muslim Thought in U.S.,” by Scott Shane in the New York Times, July 24 (thanks to all who sent this in). The first clue as to the bias of Scott Shane comes in the title’s reference to “Anti-Muslim Thought,” as if I am fighting against human beings, rather than against a radically intolerant and repressive ideology. Seven years ago here at Jihad Watch I had an exchange with an English convert to Islam. I said:

Lies of ‘People for the American Way’ Exposed
by Mark Tapson:
Just in time for the media’s shameful dogpile on anti-jihadist writers like Robert Spencer for supposedly inspiring Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik’s rampage last week, People for the American Way (PFAW) just released its fanciful “Right Wing Playbook on Anti-Muslim Extremism.” Predictably, it’s a hateful exercise in distortions and omissions that mischaracterize critics of jihad as conspiracy-theory bigots aiming to deny the rights of all Muslim-American citizens.
The PFAW, a leftist activist group and “watchdog” of what it deems to be the fearsome and shadowy Religious Right in America, was created in 1981 by former TV producer Norman Lear to combat Christian conservatives, promote progressive policies, and elect progressive candidates. It features such fair-minded intellectual powerhouses on its board of directors as actor-and-politician-wannabe Alec Baldwin and Seth MacFarlane, whose animated TV series Family Guy routinely and viciously ridicules Christians and conservatives. Currently in the crosshairs are those who speak out about the dangers of Islamic radicalization and the stealth jihad in this country.
The “Right Wing Playbook on Anti-Muslim Extremism” – entirely a creation of the PFAW, by the way, not anyone on the Right – lists “eight key strategies employed by the Right to inflame anti-Muslim sentiment and turn hatred and bigotry into political weapons.” The list is as follows:

So what about the White House plan, you ask?
Let us journey now to the White House briefing room, where President Obama’s spokesman, Jay Carney, stood before a disbelieving press corps talking about the nonexistent plan the way Baghdad Bob talked about the continuing glories of the Saddam Hussein regime as the American Tomahawk missiles were zooming around his head.

Nuclear Cooperation between Argentina and Iran?
by Anna Mahjar-Barducci:
With the help of Venezuela, there is reason to believe that Argentina is cooperating with Iran on its the nuclear issue in a deal that involves Argentina’s willingness to drop the accusations against Iran for the 1994 bombing in return for business.
In a confidential letter that was sent by Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, who chairs the House Foreign Relations Committee, to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Ros-Lehtinen sought to establish “status of any possible economic projects Argentina may be engaged in with Venezuela that may involve Iran.” Ros-Lehtinen also sought to establish “the extent of any nuclear cooperation that may be at play between Argentina, Venezuela and Iran.” The letter was co-signed by Florida’s Republican Congressmen Connie Mack and David Rivera. “We are writing to express our concerns about information that our offices have received about potential efforts by Iran of nuclear cooperation with Argentina, using Venezuela as its intermediary,” the three legislators wrote.

O’Reilly – Media Branding Norway Killer a Christian Extremist (7.26.11)
O’Reilly’s guest selectively quotes Breivik and she does so for a reason. You can see why in the full quote:
“If you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God then you are a religious Christian. Myself and many more like me do not necessarily have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and God. We do however believe in Christianity as a cultural, social, identity and moral platform. This makes us Christian.”
Blaming the innocent for Mass Murderers
Judi McLeod:
Why is it that society can now count on certain latter-day media to add to the horror of evil crazed mass murderers like Anders Breivik by deliberately roping in faultless bystanders in the aftermath of the heinous slaughter of innocents?
Media finger pointing is all the more repugnant when it arises even as the shock and heartache is at its earliest stage and before the aggrieved can even bury their loved ones.
Trying to make sense of the grotesque rantings of a killer who plagiarized the manifesto of another killer is one thing. Dragging in the names of any referred to in the diary of a self-aggrandizing madman is, in effect, propping up a monster and paying dues to pure evil.
In the same manifesto in which Breivik named names, the Norway mass murderer claimed to be proud of his Norwegian ethnicity, yet slaughtered in cold blood 68 of his own people, many young teenagers, the pride of Norway.
Breivik’s passing claims on Christianity are just as false, a week-old FaceBook Christian whose “Christianity” does not include Jesus Christ.
A vulture-like, irresponsible mainstream media led by the New York Times tried to finger the anti-jihad crusaders. We’re most of us anti-jihad, it’s just that some are more courageous speaking out about it than others.
Now it’s “global warming deniers”, the same ones Al Gore’s Canadian counterpart David Suzuki wants thrown into jail being tossed into the danger zone.

The fascist inclinations of the left is well established historically and is only constrained in the west by the vigilant defence of our constitutional guarantees. Sadly, over time, these guarantees have been systemically eroded by activist judges and political corruption. In the media the hostility to conservatism is well documented and it has never been more brazen and virulent than in the past few days. Disgusting. It is no wonder the MSM is disappearing before our eyes, soon to be fully replaced by the comparatively responsible and balanced reporting of the new media.
The New Religious Right?
Hans Rustad:
Chief of Norway’s intelligence police, PST, Janne Kristiansen says that Anders Behring Breivik was not extreme in his views on the internet. She would rather call him a moderate.
Her statement is an embarrasment for the media who since Friday has made a big fuzz about Behring Breivik’s writings on the net, amongst others this website.
Her dismissal of his opinions as almost moderate suggests that the media employs guilt by association by deliberate design.
[...]
I, and many others, have spent the past few days deconstructing the slanderous meme in the media that Breivik is a right-wing extremist fundamentalist Christian. He was none of those things. He was a deranged xenophobe. The writer of the above article nails it when he writes ‘the media employs guilt by association by deliberate design.’ This should put to rest any presumption by the general public that the media is either objective or ideologically neutral. The MSM is an organ of anti-Christian/conservative propaganda and it must be changed by rooting-out the problem in the schools of journalism which consistently turn out these radical, left-wing demagogues.
Drought Withers Smallest Hay Crop in Century to Boost Beef Costs
By Whitney McFerron and Jeff Wilson:
The smallest U.S. hay crop in more than a century is withering under a record Texas drought, boosting the cost of livestock feed for dairy farmers and beef producers from California to Maryland.
The price of alfalfa, the most common hay variety, surged 51 percent in the past year, reaching a record $186 a short ton in May, government data show. Hay and grass make up about half of what cattle eat over their lifetimes, so parched pastures are forcing ranchers to find alternative sources of feed, pushing some spot-market corn to the highest ever.
[...]
The drought, which is the worst ever in Texas, is compounding a hay shortage caused by farmers shifting this year to more profitable crops, including corn. The U.S. may harvest 57.605 million acres of hay in 2011, the least on records going back to 1909, U.S. Department of Agriculture data show. Corn was sown on 92.282 million acres, the second-most since 1944.
Ethanol Corn GrabSurging demand from ethanol refiners, livestock producers and importers sent corn futures up 75 percent in the past year, as of yesterday. The U.S. is the world’s largest corn grower and exporter, and the government said June 9 that, for the first time ever, more of the crop will be used to make fuel than animal feed.

Once again the policies of the anti-oil, eco-zealots has caused misery, famine and higher prices for everything. This was their hope all along because they hate mankind and despise progress.
WaPo ‘On Faith’ Contributor Blames Christianity for Oslo Bombing, Shooting
By Ken Shepherd:
Behring Breivik himself went to the pains to insist he’s not a religious Christian. He’s not engaged in a theologically or eschatalogically-inspired view of spiritual warfare that involves the use of physical violence to attain religious ends.
The Oslo bomber’s manifesto undermines Brooks Thislethwaite’s argument. Hopefully the Chicago Theological Seminary professor will issue a mea culpa, although if she doesn’t, it’s probably because it was too tempting to attack American evangelicals as potential terrorists:

It’s not the Murdochs but the BBC that holds the real power in Britain
By Tim Montgomerie:
Where does media power really lie in Britain? Not with James and Rupert Murdoch: long before “hackgate”, and the pair’s unimpressive appearance before the Culture and Media Select Committee, the News International empire was in decline, as their newspapers lost sales and, with them, influence.
No, the real power is in the hands of the Murdochs’ arch-enemy: the BBC. When it comes to news, 73 per cent of us get most of it from television – and the BBC supplies 70 per cent of TV news. Its dominance is even greater when you factor in the high-end, high-impact programmes that shape the whole current affairs agenda: the Today programme, Newsnight, Question Time.
This dominance wouldn’t matter if the BBC provided fair coverage on all the big issues. But it doesn’t. It is actually a broadcaster with many obsessions. One is public spending cuts. Every morning, the Today programme provides a platform for anti-cuts lobby groups and misses the bigger picture, such as the fact that Britain is spending twice as much on EU bail-outs as George Osborne is saving from domestic cuts.

Why Abbas Cannot Recognize Israel as a Jewish State
by David Meir-Levi:
Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demands that the Palestinian Authority recognize Israel as a “Jewish State.” The Palestinian Authority’s President Mahmud Abbas refuses. Netanyahu demands again and Abbas refuses. Netanyahu tells the US Congress that if only Abbas would recognize Israel as a Jewish State then 90% of the conflict would be over; but Abbas refuses.
One might think that we are witness to two five-year-olds engaged in a playground argument: “Yes you will!” “No I won’t!” “You must!” “I can’t!”
But one would be wrong.
The issue of Israel’s existence as a Jewish State is the very core of the conflict. If Abbas, or any other Muslim leader for that matter, were to agree that Israel is a Jewish state, he would be in opposition to the Islamic religious concepts of “defense of Muslim lands” and of non-Muslims as dhimmi.

AFSCME’s War on Workers & Taxpayers: A Look Inside The AFSCME Playbook
by LaborUnionReport:
Last year, when Larry Scanlon, the Director of Political Operations for one of the nation’s largest government unions, the American Federation of State County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), stated “the more members coming in, the more dues coming in, the more money we have for politics,” it was symbolic of a system corrupted by union bosses who enrich themselves at the expense of America’s taxpayers.
While AFSCME and other government unions are settling contracts that require members to pay more for their health insurance and retirement, as well as furlough days, to rein in out-of-control budget, with the exception of a few states like Arizona, New Jersey, Ohio and Wisconsin, the government-union power structure is being left almost wholly intact.
In fact, in states like California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Washington government union bosses have been left largely unrestrained to continue expanding their power at the expense of the taxpayers in those states.

Israel Releases ‘The Truth About the West Bank’ Video Challenging Palestinian Narrative
by Tiffany Gabbay:
Israel’s Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs Danny Ayalon has launched a video titled “The Truth About the West Bank.” In the partially animated educational video, Ayalon relays historical facts relating to the Israeli Palestinian conflict, including explanations on where the terms “West Bank”, “occupied territories” and “67 Borders” derived from and how he says they are incorrectly applied.
Ayalon asserts that Judea and Samaria were taken from the occupying Jordanians during a defensive war, hence the “settlements” are legal. In an Israel National News report from mid-July, Ayalon explained his vision for the video:

Israel Palestinian Conflict: The Truth About the West Bank
Speak Plainly to Israel? How to Speak Plainly to the Palestinians, Too
by Malcolm Lowe:
Israel’s prime minister, Benyamin Netanyahu, recently complained that the whole world makes demands upon Israel in the name of Middle East peace, but nobody demands anything of the Palestinians. We could add that Netanyahu’s predecessors, too, demanded little of them. The Israeli approach to peace negotiations was to offer piecemeal concessions to the Palestinians, hoping for reciprocity.
Yet even Netanyahu has merely asked for Palestinian recognition of Israel as the nation state of the Jews. That is, he asks for a statement of words, which the Palestinians could ignore later on. By contrast, Israel faces demands to establish facts on the ground, such as the removal or at least the freezing of settlements. Thus Netanyahu, too, has not yet overcome the disproportion of demands.
