"If you fear that you will not act justly towards the orphans, marry such women as seem good to you, two, three, four; but if you fear you will not be equitable, then only one, or what your right hands own; so it is likelier you will not be partial."(Qur'an 4:3) The above quoted from Robert Spencer's JihadWatch from a post of April 27 dealing with Islamic sexual slavery in the contemporary UK. So you hobnob with some non-devout Muslims, as well as some taqiyya artists among the devout, and think of the religion exactly the way that they want naive kuffar to think of it, as a "religion of peace." You don't see it as the devout see it from the inside, as being utterly antithetical to Western traditions of an ordered universe, of logic, of proper human achievement, of individual rights and objective law, of realist art. Until you understand what Islam actually is, you will never know the extent of the contempt that the devout have for you and for the UK, and the extent of the the estrangement they have from decent society. The motive behind every act of violence and/or sexual depredation that they commit in your nation will present you with a fresh mystery, as the Boston Marathon atrocity is presenting the "lamestream" American media with a mystery right now, more than eleven years after 9/11. They are not like you (unless you are one of them, here under false pretenses.) They are working ardently to restructure your civilization into a likeness of the Third World Islamic crapholes that they regard as superior.

Premarital sex with a "slutty" kafir (non-believer) woman doesn't count as illicit sex. Muslim men are allowed "what their right hand possesses", i.e. slave girls captured from non-believer population that resisted jihad. Now if he had had sex with the Muslim daughter of a Muslim man, that would have counted as illicit sex in the sense you are referring to, and in the Muslim consciousness, would have been tantamount to kidnapping/rape on his part, even if she had seduced him and the sex were her idea. You are still looking at everything through the lens of Western secular and Judeo-Christian conceptions of morality, individual rights, proper behavior, etc. You will never understand Islam until you adopt a "multi-cultural" ability to understand how differently other cultures view human behavior, versus how it is viewed where you grew up.

'dunya' means 'world', btw

[Because that's where the kuffar are...] In their motivation, the atrocities in Boston this week were probably the most mysterious series of crimes in American history, or at least since the bank robberies of Willie Sutton. We will almost certainly never learn the answer to the question "why?," unless the proud young mujahid Joker Smegmaev deigns to speak with the najis dogs holding him captive and chooses to reveal it.

When I hear the name "Dhzokhar", I get a mental image of Heath Ledger in costume for his role in The Dark Knight.

Apparently his son is among the fallen angels, considering that all hell will break loose if he is harmed.

That photo was taken at the corner of the Boston Common, a few blocks from the finish line on Boylston Street where the first pair of explosions were detonated. If I'm not mistaken, it is near the southeast corner of the Common near Chinatown. So even if they were taking someone into custody, it could be for something unrelated, or at least they might have some plausible deniability that the person surrounded by the police was a prime suspect in the blasts.

So, basically, 'antifa' is just 'fascist' spelled backwards, but with the same meaning? It took me a while to realize that when I first started seeing it in news from England and Scandinavia.

To place my previous comment on topic, I should add that if a major Islamic piece of scenery (POS) in Jerusalem gets cratered by the Gaza savages, I should hope it would be al-Aqsa, rather than the DotR. The DotR has archaeological value in exposing the fictional nature of the standard account of Islam's origins, and in solving the riddles of chronology that plague our current understanding of the fall of Western Civilization that accompanied the Saracen outbreak of the 7th century.

The Dome of the Rock has a floor plan made for circumambulation. This is unlike a normal mosque, but like the Grand Mosque in Mecca, where pilgrims circumambulate the Kaaba. Many believe the DotR, or rather the Rock at its center, was the original object of prayer, before the direction of Saracen prayer (qibla) was shifted from Jerusalem to Mecca. Needless to say, if we suppose the DotR was actually built and used for this circumambulation before the qibla was changed, it would imply that the Saracen conquest of Jerusalem occurred earlier with respect to the origin of Islam than the currently-fashionable account of Islamic origins would allow (i.e. that the conquests preceded, rather than followed, the beginning of the faith.) Otoh, if the DotR was built after the qibla was changed, then what was the point of designing it for circumambulation, rather than as a conventional mosque, with a mihrab in the direction of Mecca, like the al-Aqsa mosque next door? See Robert Spencer's Did Muhammad Exist? by and Muhammed and Charlemagne Revisited: the History of a Controversy by Emmet Scott for more information and hypotheses concerning the beginning of Islam, both specifically mentioning the DotR as an archaeological specimen that sheds light on it.

from James Linnstrom II: >"The poll data has been consistently on the side of Obama." Gallup and Rasmussen had moved to Romney for some time before the election, though it was very close. The other pollsters are irrelevant because they were only printing what they were told to print by Axelrod, or by their other superiors in the Obama campaign. >"The numbers just weren't there for us in this election." i.) The numbers weren't there for us, James, because of Chicago gangland style electoral fraud, like denying the ballot to soldiers in Afghanistan, sending the Black Panthers on keep out the vote drives, ejecting Republican election officials from the polling sites so crimes go unwitnessed, and bussing in bus loads of ringers with fake IDs from who knows where. ii.) This election was a particularly unfortunate one for "the numbers just not to be there for us," James, since now there might not be another election.

P.S. That bloated worm-in-the-gut of the Republican Party, Krispy Kreme Christie deserves eternal, unforgiving condemnation for his part in the disaster.

For those looking to impeachment as the solution, reconsider. We failed yesterday in the second of our goals, almost as important as the first: we did not recapture the Senate. Reid will never allow Soetoro to be thrown out of office. Face it, lovers of freedom need to completely rethink our playbook. Radio host (and Reagan-era Justice Department official) Mark Levin had convinced me of the importance of the Senate in this election. Over the last couple of weeks I dropped a measurable fraction of my life savings into the campaigns of individual Republican candidates, the great bulk of the money into toss-up US Senate races around the country. (I'm not a wealthy man, and have hardly ever contributed to political campaigns in the past.) Even to RINOs and others I disagreed with, just to get to the magical 50 or 51 number in the Senate. Our underperformance in these contests is devastating -- nationally, even civilizationally. I also contributed to Allen West, Michele Bachmann, and other TEA Party candidates for the House, such as Art Robinson, the scientist and free market advocate who heroically challenged incumbent leftist tool Pete DeFazio in southwest Oregon. That only one of those three won would blacken memories of this day, even if it were not for the extent of the other disasters. Days of trying to prevent election fraud were probably successful in my little bailiwick, but nationally the election was stolen on numerous fronts, from the suppression of the military vote, to the 'spigot cities', to the Black Panthers, to the ejection of Republican observers. Time to rethink, people. Corrupt media, corrupt elections, open border, growing local jihadist threat, mega debt, declining economy, declining military, declining respect and influence abroad, Obamacare turning America into Western Europe in economic and political culture, immigration and dawah turning Western Europe into the Middle East in culture. Pro-free market, pro-Constitution voters turned off by the religious bent of the few Pro-free market, pro-Constitution candidates. How to square the circle and pull victory out of this nightmare?

"...a sermon delivered by Egyptian cleric Futouh Abd Al-Nabi Mansour..." Does anyone know enough Arabic to help me out here: is his first name, "Futouh", the same as the word futuh, meaning "conquest"? Funny name for a cleric wouldn't you say? Unless it's a Muslim cleric, in which case it's perfectly to be expected. I'm studying about the "futuh narratives", meaning the early Arab histories of how the Saracen armies defeated the Roman and Persian Empires and advanced into Central Asia and Spain during the 7th and 8th centuries.

Plus, Clifford doesn't show that the early Zionists were routinely charged by the Arabs and Turks 2, 3, 4, or more times above the going rate for the land that they bought, due solely to discrimination. If they could have purchased real estate at prices on par with what Muslim purchasers paid at the time, the Jewish share of the privately owned land would have been larger. Not to mention that the Jews would have had more money left over to buy guns to defend that real estate, and their own lives, and their children's lives, from Arab night raiders. Plus, in his emphasis on the West Bank, he doesn't show the East Bank at all. The early Zionists were also overcharged for land they purchased for settlements east of the Jordan river, in what is now the Kingdom of Jordan. All of those farms eventually had to be abandoned, because the Muslim-to-Jew ratio there was simply too high for civilized existence to be sustainable. Covadonga

Defoe, Great points about the Arabs working with the Nazis, but it's worse than you even think. Most of the systematic hatred of the Jews, anti-Semitic violence, along with intolerance, violence, and superstition in general that are endemic in European culture, seeped in during the Dark Ages and Middle Ages as a result of contact with Arabs (and, later, with Muslims of Turkish origin.) The first deadly anti-Jewish riot to take place on the continent of Europe took place in Spain, after the Arabs had conquered it. It was a Muslims-on-Jews riot. Visigothic Spain, before the Arab conquest, was the wealthiest and most advanced area of Western Europe. It was about 2/3 Christian and 1/3 Jewish, and known for tolerance, (except for a document forged centuries later, in Christian Europe long after Spain was conquered by the Arabs, purporting to demonstrate that the Visigothic kings had written anti-Jewish laws.) To prevent their new subjects from rebelling against them, the Arab rulers pursued a course of divide-and-rule, by spreading accusations that the Jews had helped them in the conquest, and promoting Jewish translators, doctors and other professionals to positions in the court. Since the Arabs were widely hated, this rumor campaign caused a lot of hatred to well up in the Christian population against the Jews. German knights coming to help defend the remaining free Spanish Christians from further conquest, picked up these attitudes of hatred from the Spanish Christians. Returning to Germany, they then launched the first Northern European anti-Jewish riot in history, during the preparation for the First Crusade. In the Roman Empire, (and in the Gothic and Frankish kingdoms that were set up in the West late in Roman history,) organized anti-Semitism was mostly not very common. The exception was the Empire's punishing the Israelis for attempting to secede and have their own independent country. This the Israelis did over and over again, stretching over hundreds of years, conspiring with Rome's enemy, the Persian Empire. Though the punishments were extremely severe, (mass executions, deportations, and enslavement,) and rightly condemned today, the fact that the rebellions kept happening proves that the punishment episodes could not individually have been of Holocaust-scale. Read the excellent _Muhammad & Charlemagne Revisited: The History of a Controversy_ by Emmet Scott, for more on the sordid history of Arab/Muslim influence on Christian Europe, and the archaeological proof that the Arab invasions caused the Dark Ages.

Beware the rope-a-dope. Remember about how the House Dems talked about deem-and-pass and several other controversial parliamentary stunts before Obamacare, and how the talk show hosts charged off criticizing those, and then how Dingy Harry finally said it was off the table because, after all the negotiations, they just couldn't come up with the votes. That was immediately before they passed it. All the statements before were just to get us off our guard, or pursuing the wrong detail.

Maybe these blokes are 'the fighting Irish'.

>Moulana Ghulam Ahmed Rabbani 'Maulana' means 'our lord' 'Ghulam' means 'slave' 'Ahmed', of course, is some form of Muhammad. Don't ask me how that works. I don't speak Arabic. 'Rabbani' means 'divine', from 'rabban' ('lord') A curious naming system these Irish chaps have.

Well, since you mention it, I privately think of each of the rabbis that spoke out against Pamela as "Rabbi Candy Ass" I'm not Jewish myself, but know enough about Judaism to know that a real rabbi would be against jihad.

I've been craving to see Zero, sans TOTUS, in front of a major audience for a long time. Tonight I finally got my wish. The American people finally got to witness first-hand the degree of rampant McCarthyism in our contemporary politics. Charlie McCarthyism, that is. The most powerful man in the free world is the modern day Edgar Bergen. I don't know his name, but it's whoever writes the material that appears on Zero's teleprompter.

Hey, Adolf, The only explosion Tic Tacs cause is a burst of minty freshness in your mouth. Why not spend your time on Mohammedan sites with the other savages, you clueless baboon?

Mzunga, Uranium is element 92. That means each uranium atom, by definition, has 92 protons in its nucleus. But the number of neutrons varies from atom to atom. The great majority (about 99%) of the natural uranium atoms on earth are uranium 238. This means that each of these atoms has 146 neutrons in its nucleus. (92 protons + 146 neutrons = 238 total nucleons) Some uranium atoms instead have 143 neutrons each. (92 protons + 143 neutrons = 235 total nucleons) So we call these uranium 235. These are about 0.7% of the total atoms, but the exact amount varies a bit depending on where the uranium was mined. A bunch of other forms of uranium, having other number of neutrons, make up the remainder (consisting of about 0.3% of the total.) We don't need to worry about these. Each of these forms is called an isotope. So the two isotopes we are interested in are the 238 one, because it is so common, and the 235 one, for reasons I am about to explain. All the isotopes of uranium are radioactive, meaning that each type of nucleus is unstable, and tends to disintegrate after a certain amount of time. This disintegration, or 'decay', releases radioactivity. The point in time at which an individual atom will disintegrate all by itself cannot be predicted by modern science. The length of time that half of the atoms take to decay in a particular batch of a particular isotope can be measured, however. This is called the half-life. The half-life of uranium 238 is over 4 billion years, so it is only slightly radioactive. This is thought to result from an even number (92) of protons and an even number of neutrons (146) makeing for a nucleus that is relatively more stable than a nucleus with odd numbers. With uranium 235, otoh, the number of neutrons (143) is odd, which causes it to be less stable. Uranium 235 is more radioactive than the other form, having a half-life of a little over 700 million years. More importantly, the instability caused by this 143 number causes the uranium 235 nucleus to be fissionable. This means that, when struck by a neutron, this nucleus can split into multiple smaller nuclei, plus some radioactive particles. So a single atom of uranium 235 can change into two or more atoms of other elements, plus some other particles. Two additional factors made this entire topic of supreme importance to the scientists of the Manhattan Engineering District during WWII, as well as making it crucial to our understanding of the dire Mid-East political situation today. These two factors are that when a uranium 235 atom fissions into smaller atoms, i.) a great deal of energy is released, and ii.) some of the radioactive particles that are released are neutrons. The importance of the energy is self-explanatory. The importance of the neutrons is that, in a large mass of uranium 235, each neutron has the chance to collide with a fresh uranium nucleus, possibly causing it to fission as well. If the mass is large enough, and other conditions are met, enough neutrons cause fresh fissioning that the process can be self-sustaining (i.e. as in a nuclear reactor) or can be explosively fast, as in a bomb. A reactor-type situation is like adding a new log to a fireplace, and letting the existing fire ignite it. A bomb-type situation is like lighting a match in a room full of gunpowder. In nuclear fission, it is not necessary to start with other elements besides uranium, and the only collisions that are essential are neutrons colliding with fissionable nuclei. So the Iranians are fiercely spinning centrifuges that separate the lighter uranium 235 from the much greater amount of heavier uranium 238. They use fluorine or some other element to form a molecule with the uranium that is liquid or gaseous at room temperature, so the process is comparable to separating the cream from milk. If they wind up with uranium which has only 2% to 5% percent of the 235 isotope, that is all they need for energy reactors. Research reactors can require further enrichment up to less than 20%. This is absolutely where they would stop, if they were not rabid genocidal liars, because it is all they would need for any alleged "peaceful nuclear program". Obviously, they are continuing on beyond that to produce weapons-grade (90% or higher) material for a uranium bomb like Little Boy, the one dropped on Hiroshima. The uranium 238 has a further use for producing nuclear weapons. When exposed to neutrons such as those produced by a uranium 235 reactor, it can be changed into plutonium 239. This is even more fissionable than uranium 235, and can be separated from uranium by chemical means that are faster, cheaper, smaller, and less detectable than the centrifuge method used to separate uranium's 235 isotope from its 238 isotope. The Manhattan Engineering District was able to produce, under wartime conditions, at least enough plutonium 239 for both the Trinity test explosion in New Mexico and for Fat Man, the bomb dropped on Nagasaki. Judging from Benjamin Netanyahu's speech yesterday, the Israelis and the rest of the international community are apparently not worried that the mullahs have been able to raise Iran to the technological level achieved by the United States in 1945. We can only hope that their assessment in this matter is correct.

Gustavo Gutierrez, I'm curious, what color is that Kool-Aid, anyway?
