What an interesting story!  I found this while browsing the available websites at work and discovered this amazing story.

Wow.  How this owner must love his dog to of risked so much.  This video is about a man who fought a shark whom was attacking his small terrier.  I agree with his statement, a dog becomes so much a part of your thinking and such a huge object in your life that many, myself included, are ready to do almost anything for them.  The one thing that none are willing or really ready to do is say good bye to these wonderful friends.  I know how tough a thing that is with my own dog. 

I hold alot of respect for those who respect they're animals.  I measure alot of respect those have for myself by the way they respect how important my dogs are to me.  I'd like to think I'd of reacted the same way.  Here's the video.  Comments welcome.

Looks like the “Wake Up U.S.A.” camp is on the move.  What a dramatic increase following McCain’s recent speech at the RNC over in St. Paul.

Dramatically, and perhaps the most vital voting block in the upcoming election, the much hyped “likely’’ voting block McCain managed to leap and bound over Obama by 10 percent.

The Democratic party increased less percentage wise and it also took longer to increase than the RNC.  I think McCain’s honest approach and direct talk may of overcome a lot of unnecessary speculation relating to the current View of the GOP by the populace.  I have to concede that Ms. Alaska has also been a huge booster.

Interesting to seeing how this will continue to play out over the next few months and most crucially how this will play out on November 4th.

Good hunting.

Found this story on RMN earlier, thought his story should be shared. 

Staff Sgt. Mayne died in the line of duty  this past Thursday, September 3rd, 2008.  He was killed during patrol, a victom of a roadside bomb.  Keep him, his family, and loved ones in your prayers.

(A campaign stop in Texas, By the Obama Campaign)

Obama stood confidently in front of the crowd, and spoke in a voice both commanding and merciful:

“My fellow Americans…You may of heard silly rumors about myself, and the power to which I stand….”

(Loud applause and cheering)

“McCain may have been a Prison of War …..”

(Loud Boos)

“But I challenge my mortal, elderly foe to do this…”

As the crowd stands back in awe and dumbfounded silence, Obama slowly rises off the ground.  At first, mere inch’s, but soon the gulf between multiplied into feet, yards, and beyond.  Soon Obama stood, defying gravity and the centuries of developed physics, nearly a quarter mile above the ground.  At that moment above the Earth there appeared two suns, but the new sun grew brighter in glare and the frightened voter’s below averted they’re gaze, unable to witness the brilliance above.

“Vote for Obama!!” Boomed a voice that shook the very Earth below “Or witness my wrath!”

Several loud cracks filled the air and a sharp electrical current seemed to flow between the voters, shattered by loud shrieks of terror.

When at long last the voters were able to open they’re eyes, several spots of spoiled, burnt Earth surrounded them.

“These”  The Messiah pointed “we’re Republican scum.”

Slowly, and with a great sense of fear about them, the herd began to nod.  At first one….Than two…..Than a dozen.  Within moments, tens of thousands were nodding at their Messiah.

Vote Obama ’08!

This guy could order a BIG MAC ™ at Burger King….He’s that tough.

New reports by the Colorado Secretary of State’s Office indicate a leading edge by Republicans at the ending of July.

It’s interesting to see Colorado back under the GOP’s sphere after last nights speech, maybe Colorado’s waking up to reality regarding Obama?  The Speech  He provided was indeed mesmerizing, beautiful, and very charismatic, all trade marks of Obama.  But like the street smart hustler who whirls your money away with a smile and a wink in his eye, Obama hustled his way through Denver with a grin and a giggle.  The speech failed to provide the much needed detail of economic hope he runs his campaign on.  It did provide that emotional charge and glamoir that drives most people.

What change is that?  Sounds like more of the same with the Dems.  “Excuse me while I kiss the sky” comes to mind.  All hope and sunshine while avoiding the thunderstorm coming in from the east.  I see Congress has had a Demacratic edge now for the past few years which was supposed to “usher in change’’ and a ‘’brighter future’’ for all American Citizens.  I’m still waiting for this change and please be sure to wake me up when they manage this.

As for McCain?

What a contrast!  I found myself drawn to McCain’s humble appeal, his more ‘regular Joe’ style, and his direct call to the good fight.  He lacked that emotional charge, despite the POW recall, but he provided the job description.   In the end that’s all the people ask, and I can only assume he will continue to win states over with his very logical, down to earth approach here.  He has certainly concreted my own vote.

Sorry for a delayed in updating anything here.  I neglect and forget this blog alot, I usually find it more practical and easier to use the MySpace.com account I have.  I've been delayed, depressed, and under the weather for the past few weeks dealing with private, personal issues.

I thought I'd update those who were curious, that I have heard a bit of success on the Caddy Issue I brought up a little over a month ago.  The two killers of Caddy, the dog adbucted and murdered in Hawaii, have been arrestted and are currently charged with one count of 2nd degree theft and one count of Cruelty to Animals.

I'm happy that both the charges were laid on the two criminals.  If things proceede successfully they can be leveled with up to five years in prison and an additional charge of perhaps ten thousand.  I hardly think this is a fair punishment but its the best we can do and only hope for further, harsher laws to be laid off for animal cruelty cases like this.

A few weeks ago I saw this terrible story, and made a post about it.  It was relating to a persons poor dog, a dog names Caddy.  He was taken, in full knowledge he was owned by someone, and cruelly and inhumanely slaughtered. 

I've only found a few articles relating to this sick, twisted story of animal cruelty.  I was so sickened by this unacceptable story that I've went ahead and created a page to it.  Please feel free to visit this site.

www.TheDarque.com 

I set up a petition and letters I'd like sent off to the prosecutions office.  Any help in this would be appreciated.  Feel free to cross post if you choose.

This story effected me very profoundly because I own two dogs.  One of which is sadly dying.  It's why I can understand how very powerfully these loyal companion (friends) can effect our emotions and well being.  I couldn't even imagine my reaction to this.  It's ...If my dog had been unintentionally struck by a car, thats one thing.  But to know the circumstances of your dogs end, in such a sick grusime way?  I couldn't fathom my reaction, but I could surmise it'd be far more violent than the way these owners reacts.  I can only pray they recover in time.

Ah, The beauty of the western civilized world is how, despite hurt feelings, open debate and civil discourse is the written bedrock of our civilization.  It brought down the walls of racial discrimanation (forcefully), the once unbreakable wall that defined man from woman (legally) equality.  It even brought down presidents and gods (at least a certain one). 

The one thing that, for fear of enslavement, death, or worse, must be removed for the sake of public safety.........Is to openly debate Islam.  Its a well established track record that any form of debate about or in relation (directly or indirectly) about Islam will result in riots, deaths, and intimadation.  Through Europe (the French and Dutch Particularily) have been victomized into silence and live a society of fear. 

Two years ago in France two criminals accidently died from electricution after leaving a crime on foot and hiding from Police.  The result?  Riots declaring discrimination.  Criminals becoming martyrs or saints is unheard of in western lands.

Two Years ago an artists did the worse thing any artist could do....They Expressed themselves under the gouse of Freedom of though and freedom of speech.   The Result?  Riots that lasts weeks, death threats from organized governments (Iran, Morocco, portions of the Pakastani, Kuwaiti, Jordan, Saudi Arabian government and thousands of moderate Imam's and Skeiks throughout the world), murders against Christians.  In the Heart of Europe, Brussel, were organised protests declaring Europe would fall to Islam and be conquered.  Is this madness?  Over a few cartoons?  Us Christians (which I am proudly) have to put up with far worse public displays of vilgar than a few cartoons.

Last year, the Pope, the highest authority in Catholic beliefs, repeated a phrase uttered centers ago by a Byzantine empirer.  He assured the audence and the world, these were not he's owns, and he did not endorse them.  The result?  The Pope, one of our highest people, received demands for he's beheading by almost all Islamic scholars, Imam's, Sheiks.  Riots ensued.  Christians suffered monsters attakcks throughout weeks of suffering.  Murders, rapes, church burnings. 

What does this tell you?  Beware.  If you speak up about Islam in any other way but to endorse it as the only "religion of peace" you suffer the risk of death.  Welcome to the new secular demacracies of the decaying, dying western world, our last few generations of freedom if we stand back and do nothing. 

Below are a few interesting stories relating to the above:

----------

http://www.andrewbostom.org/blog/2008/01/05/eaton-
agonistes-redux/

If the Enemy in the War on Terror (WOT) states that he fights jihad in furtherance of Islamic causes that include the imposition of Shari’a law and the re-establishment of the Caliphate; and Islamic law on jihad exists and is available in English; then Professionals with WOT responsibilities have an affirmative, personal, professional duty to know the enemy; that includes ALL the knowable facts associated with the law of jihad.

The times of tolerating the intolerable are quickly coming to an end......

 

----------

http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/019465.php

MAJ (USAR) Stephen Coughlin is to my knowledge the only Islamic Law scholar on the Joint Staff...

He is a lawyer by training and a reserve Military Intelligence Officer. His first interface with Islamic Law began in Pakistan where he was investigating and prosecuting an intellectual property rights case about 10 years ago. Reviewing Pakistani property rights law, he kept seeing footnoted references to the Quran and sharia law...

I have long argued and wondered why our military from senior leaders down to tactical level are so unread and unstudied on Islam, jihad in Islam, even the topic of terrorism. I have often contrasted this unconscionable wartime state of affairs, with the due diligence the US military showed since I was a cadet at West Point 30 years ago, where we lived, ate, slept and drank Soviet warfighting doctrine...it was the threat we oriented on and we developed our own doctrine around -- "AirLand Battle" in the early 1980's.

Can anyone show me where the equivalent of the Soviet threat doctrine series for the global war on terror is published?

It has not been done.

Yet today we are in the process of prosecuting war, that from doctrinal perspective, we fundamentally do not understand. Over two years I have had 90 of the Army's top majors come through ACSC, across all branches including MI and special operations forces, and only one had read a book with the title Understanding Terror Networks, that by Marc Sageman...

Just before Christmas I presented a lecture on Understanding Terrorist and Insurgent Support Systems to an interagency audience at the Joint Special Operations University, that included Joint Staff and Joint Command officers, DIA and other IC reps, DHS and law enforcement... there, two people had read Sageman's work...two out of the special ops community. The third individual was Sageman himself.

More importantly we have not studied Islamic Law and few have seen or heard of even the English translation of it that has been in print for years, none had at JSOU or had read a work titled Understanding Jihad, War and Peace in the Law of Islam or even The Quranic Concept of War...I can go on but let me be frank.

This failure of intellectual preparation is a leadership failure, and it is as the 9-11 Commission warned, a failure of vision.

We have spent much intellectual capitol revamping and analyzing our own doctrine as it relates to counterinsurgency...it's time we do our homework on the threat.

Coughlin has briefed senior Marine Corps leaders and staff and has presented his thesis in various military educational venues...by all accounts the veil of ignorance is lifted for all but only a few who are afraid to face what Islamic Law, doctrinal Islam, says and means with respect to jihad and how it plays out across the Islamic world from al Qaida, to the Saudi government, to Pakistan to the Muslim Brotherhood...

What Coughlin did was provide the epiphany in his over 300-page Joint Military Intelligence College thesis titled, "To Our Great Detriment: Ignoring What Extremists Say About Jihad" that is meticulously documented and powerfully argued.

In short, he argues we have in fact intellectually pre-empted our military decision making process and intelligence preparation of the battlefield process, the critical step 3-"evaluate the threat." Strategically we have failed to do that by substituting policy for military analysis, for substituting cliché for competent decision processes.

We began on September 12, 2001 with "Islam is a religion of peace," which soothed ideological sentiments of many but has failed us strategically, short-stopped the objective, sytstemic evaluation of the threat doctrine.

"Islam is a religion of peace" is fine for public policy statements, but is not and cannot be the point of departure for competent military or intelligence analysis...it is in fact a logical flaw under any professional research methodology...you have stated the conclusion before you have done the analysis.

If one has studied the implication of the Holy Land Foundation trial discovery documents as I have, as a former DIA senior military analyst, and understanding as even Bill Gertz has written in his book Enemies about the dismal record of our counter-intelligence one has to wonder and question the extent we are in fact penetrated in government and academia by foreign agents of influence, the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamists and those who truly in essence do not share our social compact.

The termination of Stephen Coughlin on the Joint Staff is an act of intellectual cowardice.

We can only hope he can be positioned in his next venue to continue to educate our military for the fight we are in -- if we don't understand the war and the enemy we are engaged against we remain vulnerable and we cannot win.

No victory in the war on terror.

There isn't a chance of victory if we refuse to accept the war we are waging.  We will never win if we refuse to acknowledge the entrenched enemie by name...Nor nod affirmatively towards the idealogy that inspires and creates these enemies.

Shhhhhhh......It starts with an I and ends with an M.....Thats all I can say!!!!

If our Polite Elite could only grow a bit of intellegictual backbone on issues relating to Islamic Supremicism (or Islam in general) perhaps our fine lads here might not of died in a needless capacity here.

Perhaps, maybe, if before, say, going forward with prosecuting a long term armed engagement, not unlike but far larger and far more anceint of an enemy than the former U.S.S.R., it might of be smart to devolope some type of doctrine of training on the subject of Islam it might of helped. 

During the Cold War, especially between the 70's to early 80's, a sophisticated and indepth doctrine of engagement on land, sea, and air was devoloped.  Troops and Officers were spoon food day and night this doctrine as a needed training tool to an enemy, thankfully, was never engaged.  The concept is needed none the less.

It gives a needed edge.  Its an essential training tool to have unhindered debate and study without political compromise to the tactics and idealogy of any national enemy, rather it be a state or a substantial political group decietfully concealed as a globel religion (thus, afforded a high level of protection from western civilization.)

Perhaps.......But the likely hood is so low its not even registering on the radar.   So....Heres the story below that brought up my two cents.

----------

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7172779.
stm

 An Iraqi soldier has opened fire on American troops, killing two and wounding three others, US and Iraqi officials have said.

The incident happened during a joint patrol in the north on 26 December, but fuller details have only now emerged.

An Iraqi general said the patrol had come under fire from gunmen in the city of Mosul, but his soldier had "abused" the situation and shot the Americans.

It is thought to be the first such case since the US-led invasion of 2003.

The US initially reported the deaths of Capt Rowdy Inman, 38, and Sgt Benjamin Portell, 27, as resulting from hostile small arms fire.

A few nights ago I read an appalling story regarding a dog named "Caddy" who was killed and eaten for food over in HI.  This is just....Its just disgusting.  These two obviousily knew what they were doing.  They knew it was someones dog, who couldnt?  It was left leashed to a shed, with food and water readily available. 

Personally, had this been my dog, I feel very strongly I may of reacted.....Much more violently then this fellow.  Any pet owner could attest to that.  Dogs are so loyal, and dedicated to they're owners they'd willingly sacrifice they're own life to protect us.  How could we show any less loyality and courage?

Here's a breif portion of the story.  The link will follow below.  I will post later a more detailed response to this story, and perhaps open up for Donations to help the owners in this dire situation.

----

"The owner of a stolen pet said his dog may have ended up slaughtered for a meal in Moanalua Valley this weekend.

Cady was a 50-pound German Shepard, Labrador mix. He got his name from being his owner's golf buddy. Frank Manuma said Cady was stolen at Moanalua Golf Club on Sunday.

"He was gone, and the leash was gone, and all that was left was his dish plates and his water," Manuma said."

Manuma said he left Cady on a long leash with food and water. He said he never imagined something bad would happen to the pet.

 

"They said they saw these two people force the dog into the car and took my animal away," Manuma said.

----

This is so disgusting.  The dog was forced into the car, taken away, and likely brutualy and very savagely murdered.  I couldnt even imagine how I'd feel in such a situation, knowing how he died, and than what happened to him afterwards.

This is a simple question, one someone would jump to defend with a difinitive YES!  However, have we, as a society, lost our will to fight?  Are we so deluded in our belief that our freedoms were assured years and years ago and so shall be for now and forever? 

The question is a simple:  NO!

If you value the free speech Millions of American's have willingly spilled they're blood to create and defend, I implore each and every one of you to read this message below.  And, if you've the courage, to muster your voices up and be heard.  I will provide contact information to fight this publically embarrassing deniel of our assured First Amendment rights to freedom of expression:

Anti-CAIR Founder; My Turn on Civil Rights


On January 6, 2004, I was threatened with a lawsuit for defamation by
the Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR), an Islamic terrorist supporting front group which has
received funding from Islamic
terrorists.  The reason I was sued was because I dared to tell the
truth about CAIR, its "leadership" and
members.

When I received the letter, I shut down our work for a few days while I
examined my options.  After a period
of reflection, I made the decision to resume normal operations and I
also posted the letter from CAIR's
attorney on the Anti-CAIR web site:

http://www.anti-cair-net.org/cairlawyerletter.
html


The reason I refused to surrender to CAIR's blatant attempt at
intimidation was simple: I believe that all
the information we provide on CAIR is the truth, and that the truth
must be defended, in order to
maintain a free society.

When CAIR sued me, it discovered that bringing a bogus "defamation"
case to silence free speech is a double
edged sword; just as CAIR could examine and test my material and delve
into my works, so I was entitled to
do the same to CAIR.  The question, as the discovery process unfolded
was: "Who was going to blink first"?
For our legal team the answer was simple: we agreed to answer any/all
questions in depth.  We had, and have, nothing to hide. 

Everything Anti-CAIR does is perfectly transparent, we show our sources
(where we can), we name names, and we
provide links that any reader can follow.

When my legal team, headed by Reed Rubinstein, submitted questions to
CAIR, we were rebuffed.  CAIR finally realized that going after
Anti-CAIR was not only a bad decision, it had the potential to show CAIR for
what it is: an Anti-American front group for
Hamas that was founded by
Islamic terrorists. 

CAIR ran from the suit they initiated and the case was settled.

Not one word that CAIR objected to was changed on the web site.  No
corrections were issued.  No apology was made.

Why is this important?

Free speech.

Stanislav Shmulevich of
Brooklyn has been arrested on charges of
criminal mischief and aggravated harassment for allegedly placing a Koran
(Islam's Holy Book) in a toilet at Pace University:

http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/newyork
/ny-bc-ny--vandalismquran0727jul27,0,6882662.story
a>

While most Americans can agree that placing a book in a toilet is
disrespectful, is it really a crime?  

For CAIR's opinion, we only have to listen to CAIR-NY "Civil Rights
Coordinator" Aliya Latif:

"We commend the NYPD for its appropriate handling of this case...we
must all be concerned when any actions
cross the line from protected free speech to acts designed to
intimidate.  Just as there is a difference between someone burning a cross in
their own backyard and burning that same cross in the yard of an
African-American family, there is a difference between
desecrating a religious text in a private setting and doing so in a
setting that will create a hostile learning environment."

(Question: Why does a terrorist founded, terrorist supporting
organization need a "Civil Rights Coordinator"?)

http://www.cair.com/default.asp?Page=articleVi
ew&id=2882&theType=NR


Contrast CAIR-NY statement with the following:

"Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting,
keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam.  If you
choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of
Islam ... Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but
to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be
the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion
on Earth."

Quote of Omar Ahmad, CAIR co-founder.

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?
ARTICLE_ID=32341


What is more threatening, putting a book in a toilet or being told that
Islam is in American to dominate all other beliefs? 

Why hasn't Ahmad been arrested for a "hate crime"?

What about Nihad Awad, CAIR Executive Director when he publically
states:

"I am in support of the Hamas movement."

http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/printer-frie
ndly.asp?ARTICLE_ID=31479


Awad publically states his support for an Islamist terrorist group that
has murdered innocent civilians, including American citizens, and
there is no "hate crimes" investigation.

Showing the banality of evil, this from Ahmad:

"Fighting for freedom, fighting for Islam, that is not suicide...they
kill themselves for Islam"

Ahmad celebrates fellow Muslims who commit terrorist suicide bombings
as "killing themselves for Islam"...the very same Islam that CAIR
consistently claims does not support terrorism.

Or is it only CAIR's particular brand of Islam that supports Islamic
terrorism?

From a WorldNetDaily article:

"A group of American Muslims produced a video that shows its members on
a
New York City street corner declaring Islam's dominance over America
as they tread on a U.S. flag and then rip it apart."

http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTI
CLE_ID=44664


CAIR had nothing to say about the desecration of our national flag by a
group of Islamist supremacists from the "Islamic Thinkers
Society"...the group suffered no consequences for the defilement of the flag and no
mention was made of it being a "hate crime".  No matter that millions
of veterans would disagree; rightly recognizing that the flag
represents our country, our values...and our comrades, fallen or wounded in
battle; not to mention those battling Islamist terror in foreign lands.

Shmulevich put a book in the toilet.  But did he call for his religion
to be dominant in America? Did he publically call for support for
terrorists who are killing American citizens?  Did he salute terrorists who
commit suicide attacks?  Did he trample our flag in the street?

What Shmulevich did was in bad taste, it was insulting, but it was no
crime.

Freedom of speech is my birthright as an American citizen; it is a gift
from God codified by our founding fathers in our great Constitution.

To silence my voice would be to silence my soul; no man has, or ought
to have, that power.

If we won't stand up for Shmulevich, who will stand up for us when the
time comes?

Incase some of you weren't familiar with a current Islamic Genecide being conducted today, at this very moment, here's a tad bit of info.  In regards to the Serb Christians in the Nato "defended" (yes, that is indeed sarcasm) region of Kosovo the Minority Christian population is facing torture, murder, and the very founding concepts of Genecide today in the heart of Europe.  This is all while our considerate leader, Bush, and company continue to turn a blind on this monsterous event in modern history.

Keep an eye on this Europe, this is what happens when Muslims grow in numbers uncontrolled in your region.  They are not kind to you, they are not kind to your country, and they most especially are not kind to your culture.  God willing, Europe will grow the B**ls it needs to defend itself.

The Farce of our Kosovo Mission   By Julia Gorin
FrontPageMagazine.com | 8/7/2007

After my article exposing the farce of our Kosovo mission ran in American Legion Magazine last month, I heard from a soldier in Kosovo who was incredulous that someone was actually and finally talking about the region. I proceeded to publish two letters from him in this space, about his experiences and observations there, some of which confirm the free run that jihadists have in Kosovo, the fact that Albanians are being radicalized, and the notion that we should not have intervened in Kosovo as we did. Only there since November, the National Guard soldier stopped short of confirming the ethnic cleansing and slow genocide of Kosovo’s Christians that I’ve described in my articles.

Unfortunately for the deniers, the facts are also now chronicled in a book by a member of the international mission in Kosovo, entitled Hiding Genocide in Kosovo—a Crime Against God and Humanity.

But a National Guard soldier named Nicki Fellenzer, who runs a blog and also read the Legion article, found the piece to be at odds with her experiences in Kosovo. She (along with fellow military blogger Brad Staggs), wrote that my commentary was “filled with wild accusations, inaccuracies, distortions and downright lies that serve only to hurt our peacekeeping mission in Kosovo and shed a negative light on the Soldiers who are carrying out said mission…We're disappointed in [Julia Gorin]...for holding [her] agenda as more important than the troops who are sworn to protect [her] freedom to promote it.”

In her attempted deconstruction of my argument and unnamed agenda, Fellenzer made the fantastical claim that the KLA no longer exists (something that causes Albanians to erupt in laughter when they hear it) while dutifully recording some standard written quotes from military bureaucrats about the goodness of the U.S. mission in Kosovo. She also cited in-house intelligence analysts at Camp Bondsteel where she’s based as saying that the destruction of 150 churches and monasteries since 1999 is vandalism and not ethnically motivated.

Anyone who has even the first clue about Kosovo knows the diminishment that the administrative and military internationals in Kosovo have been practicing since 1999, to make things look not nearly as disastrous as they are, so that we can move toward Kosovo independence and wash our hands of the ethnically pure, narcoterrorist mafia-state we’ve helped create.

Upon seeing the press release of a blog post, the National Guard soldier whose letters I published explained that “the person who wrote that response [to your article] barely goes outside the wire [of Camp Bondsteel]…I'd like to know how many times she's pulled an 8 to 16 hour patrol, a 36 hour LRP/LRS (long-range patrol or long range surveillance).”

Someone posted two articles on Fellenzer’s blog in response to her press release, along with my extensively documented American Thinker article. One would expect that the mountain of evidence contained in that body of work might have inspired Ms. Fellenzer to give some measured consideration to the possibility that the truth is at least somewhere in between her and my assessments. Instead, I soon learned that the identity of my troop (whose published letter was one of the three articles that had been posted), had been found out and he was in “some deep s--t”, as he wrote me in our final communication.

He was promptly labeled a “stressed” soldier, diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and his perceptions were deemed to be clouded by past abuse and a recent death in the family (both of which he had shared with me and are irrelevant to the realities he observed on the ground). Fellenzer’s update was as follows:

The Battalion Commander of the Soldier in question had a conversation with the troop upon seeing this letter. According to the conversation account, the Soldier is currently in combat stress counseling--not because of anything he has encountered here, but because of problems back home. "I believe he's a good troop," writes the Battalion Commander, "but was manipulated by Gorin while he is under tremendous amount of stress due to personal tragedy at home"...

And third, he's quite obviously angry and embittered. According to the Soldier's conversation with his Battalion Commander, his grandfather, who raised him, has recently passed, his father is in jail, and he grew up in a pretty "screwed up environment."The Soldier has held these feelings of anger and frustration inside, and had not shared them with anyone who could help, choosing instead to confide in a stranger on the other end of the internet--a stranger with a strong political agenda and lack of caring for the Soldiers who defend her right to spew propaganda at their expense. "At the end of our conversation," reports the Battalion Commander, "I encouraged him to see a counselor and share his feelings with his chain-of-command and not hold it to himself. He agrees, and is under counseling at this time."

So the whistleblower is crazy, and the journalist is predatory. Sound familiar?

According to Fellenzer’s update, our soldier was full of “admissions”:

The Soldier also admitted he knew of no U.S. Soldiers killed in Kosovo on our rotation. He further conceded that he knew of no Serbs who were hurt in our area of operations, nor any that have been denied freedom of movement....

I don’t know of anyone making the claim that U.S. soldiers have been killed in Kosovo, much less on Fellenzer’s rotation; I certainly didn’t. I wrote that KFOR soldiers were shot at by Albanian fighters (specifically, UK soldiers were). No Serbs were hurt in Fellenzer’s area of operations? And none are denied freedom of movement there? Either Ms.Fellenzer’s area of operations is an oasis-like exception to the Kosovo rule (and with Bondsteel there, this is a distinct possibility), or she is yet again talking about just her rotation. Or she doesn’t have a clue.

Regardless, I don’t write articles about Fellenzer’s area of operations. I write articles about Kosovo. And so, occasionally, does retired New York cop Bob Leifels, who served with the International Police Task Force in Bosnia and who paid a visit to Kosovo last August, where, in his words:

the state of affairs stood out as when I worked for the UN, [and] the right of FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT was enforced and guaranteed to all (except Serbs).

In Bosnia we had a rather large operation with SFOR (NATO Stabilization Force) etc escorting buses from Muslim Federation to the RS [Serb Republic] in order for them to visit their old homes and such. Several Serbs approached me and asked if I could organize such an excursion for them into the Federation. The official response from UNHCR was “we don’ t do that.” Nice.

It gets even nicer; from Fellenzer: “[I]n most of the province, Kosovo Serbians are free to leave their enclaves, drive to their destinations, take vacations and walks,” wrote Fellenzer, who cited an Orthodox military chaplain as “concurring” that in her area of operations, there are “no concentration camp-like conditions”. She added, “He does see some areas of Kosovo where Serbian Orthodox priests and nuns could not travel alone, and in those cases, KFOR troops do provide escort and protection.”

In May I met Father Jovan Culibrk, a monk from Kosovo who described how he has to call the KFOR base every time he wants to go from one parish to another, and Italian NATO troops arrive in two armored vehicles to escort him. “If I didn’t have them,” he said, “ I’d last as long as a rabbi in Gaza.” (Culibrk’s fellow monk Father Hariton was beheaded in June, 1999, the month of our “victory,” and Father Puljic was abducted that July and is presumed dead.)

Not that we need Father Jovan’s confirmation. For, unlike Fellenzer’s rosy days inside Camp Bondsteel—whose confines she didn’t leave even to “debunk” me--anyone who forces himself to watch the DVD Days Made of Fear will see what Fellenzer casually refers to as “some areas of Kosovo where…KFOR troops do provide escort and protection”: The KFOR guard escorting one nun is poised to shoot, looking around 360 degrees for snipers whose presence is assumed. She moves in short sprints, and his body has hers covered at every step.

At the same time, monks in the documentary show drawings done for them by the Albanian children whom their monasteries sheltered during the 1999 assault by NATO, and we see the Christian Orthodox Albanian man who visits the Kosovo churches from Albania to be with his “Serbian brothers” during high holidays.

Such are the exceptional, heartwarming relationships in the province, which will be of no political consequence as the last of the Serbs are cleansed during the impending, internationally sanctioned final solution for the Serb-Orthodox heartland. As Father Sava Janjic, whose Decani Monastery and two nearby churches repeatedly came under mortar attack in 2002--said:

In this monastery we sheltered 200 Albanians during the [NATO] bombing period and organised humanitarian aid, which is something which even Albanians now recognise, though they are not ready to do anything for us now, when they are in a position to help.

But Fellenzer’s denial knows no bounds:

Members of the Joint Implementation Commission in Kosovo…[travel] throughout the Multi National Task Force (East)’s area of operations, and they…have been guests at the homes of both Serbian and Albanian citizens of Kosovo. Not one member of the JIC team has ever seen Serbian enclaves surrounded by barbed-wire, NATO-guarded perimeters.

Tell that to Sherrie Gossett, managing editor of The New Individualist--though again, we don’t know if her February article applies to Fellenzer’s area of operations, since nothing else seems to:

In many areas, only those incapable of fleeing--the elderly, the poor, or the handicapped--remain, living in ghettoes circled by barbed wire and manned by NATO KFOR checkpoints. Many eke out an existence on the edge of survival, like those who now live in shipping containers donated by Russia. Moderate Albanians have been targeted as well, including those who had been content with Serbia’s rule or who enjoy socializing with Serbs. Political rivals have been assassinated and, in at least one case, dismembered. Many Serbs cannot move about without armed escorts.

But Fellenzer wants Americans to believe that:

It is also patently false that due to NATO’s (and the National Guard’s) avoidance of incendiary situations “Serbian nuns continue to be killed and how Serbian property continues to be seized by Albanian squatters, how churches and monasteries continue to be destroyed, as Saudi-financed mosques take their place.

Again, from Gossett:

Today, the property rights of minorities have disappeared as ethnic Albanians help themselves to what’s left of the former owners’ cars, homes, furnishings, and businesses. According to UNMIK’s Housing and Property Department, over 700,000 housing units in Kosovo have been illegally occupied, along with an unknown number of businesses.

Like two other soldiers who wrote me in response to the Legion article, Fellenzer also objected to my saying that KFOR troops are directed to flee when fired upon rather than return fire, which would call attention to the region as unstable. There’s an important difference between her objections and those of the two other Kosovo soldiers, however. For those two soldiers, it was the only objection to my depiction of Kosovo. The first wrote:

In Julia Gorin's article…there is one glaring mistake. We do not run when fired upon. EVER. In fact, we haven't been fired upon at all. But if it does happen, the last thing we would do is not return fire. Just wanted to clear that up.

The second wrote:

I am a soldier that is currently serving in Kosovo as one of the 1500 guardsmen that you mention about in your article "The 'Successful War' We Lost In Kosovo". I enjoyed reading your article. There is just one error that I would like to correct in your article. I have been serving in the military now for over 15 years. Never in all of my extensive training did any of my instructors teach me how to flee from anything. We are spending more time policing our municipalities than we should be, due to the local law enforcement sitting on their hands and turning a blind eye. I am a firm believer that at some point you need to stop looking for someone to do the work for you and decide to do it yourself.

I responded to both soldiers--as I do now to Fellenzer--with the following:

So far, and thankfully, American KFOR soldiers have not been fired upon. But UK soldiers in Kosovo indeed have been--as early as 2001. These are just some links which, in addition to other types of incidents, demonstrate that NATO and Albanians have exchanged gunfire. Additionally, in early 2001, before America decided to stake her future on a Greater Albania rather than engage armed Albanians, we had headlines like this: U.S. troops in Kosovo border clash:

U.S. troops have shot and wounded two rebel fighters in Kosovo, near the increasingly tense border with Macedonia…Nato troops could be sucked into combating the ethnic Albanian insurgency in Macedonia…Fighters from the rebel National Army have told the BBC that if any of those arrested were to be extradited to Macedonia, the organization would consider American K-For troops to be legitimate targets.

Kosovo Attacks Stir U.S. Concern (The Washington Post, March 2000):

A senior Pentagon official warned yesterday that U.S. troops in Kosovo this spring may have to fight their former allies, ethnic Albanian guerrillas who are rearming themselves and threatening cross-border attacks against Serbia.

"This has got to cease and desist, and if not, ultimately it is going to lead to confrontation between the Albanians and KFOR," said the official…

But today if an Albanian dies from a rubber bullet at a protest gone bad, the UN police chief in Kosovo gets fired. As this article hints, the goal is to have zero flare-ups--to avoid firefights at all cost:

Regrouping of Armed Groups Intensified near Drenica, Pec and Djakovica--International representatives have observed intensification of regrouping of armed groups in black uniforms with the insignia of the Kosovo Liberation Army in the past few days in the areas of Drenica, Pec and Djakovica, writes Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti…

Novosti writes that UNMIK and KFOR forces have received strict orders “not to get involved in conflicts or disagreements with the armed groups and, when they observe them, to abandon their mission and return to their base”.

Fellenzer herself confirms the existence of such policies: “In 2004, during the riots that took place in Kosovo, some NATO troops were instructed not to return fire if fired upon. This, however, is not the case today, as Ms. Gorin claims.” Here she has said no less than what I have, but somehow, coming from me it’s a lie, and I’m impugning American troops.

If Fellenzer weren’t suggesting an altogether different reality from the reality in Kosovo, I might admit one error: a mildly clearer wording of hyperbole. It would have been better to word “hardly an exaggeration” as “not the biggest exaggeration” in reference to saying that a Serb a day is killed--though this apt hyperbole gets no objection from anyone who has been in Kosovo or followed its evolution for more than the length of Ms. Fellenzer’s rotation. Or I could have written “attacked” instead of “killed.” The facts are closer to this hyperbole than Fellenzer's. Especially since “over 200,000 Serbs have fled Kosovo since it was put under UN control and some 3,000 have been killed or listed as missing, according to the International Red Cross. It believes about 1,500 have been murdered.”

THROW MOMMA SUPERIOR FROM THE TRAIN

Meanwhile, Fellenzer’s objection to my saying that “nuns continue to be killed” in Kosovo is based on the fact that the only recent case of a nun-killing happened on a train while it was in Serbia proper, and that the three Albanian men from the nun’s compartment are merely suspected, as no one has been apprehended for the crime.

Indeed, the killed nun--unlike the raped nuns--wasn’t in Kosovo when she was killed. No, she was in Presevo Valley, the next target of Albanian usurpation, where the least of the recent excitement was Kosovo Albanians shooting at a former Serb mayor, and attacking a police checkpoint at a base where some KFOR troops stay. Further, the “inaccuracy” is based on a technicality, given that the KLA calls Presevo Valley "Kosova Lindore" ("East Kosova") and it is considered part of "Ethnic Albania". So in the minds of Albanians, the nun was killed in Kosovo. Further, if it’s unfair to assume Albanian culpability in a case where a nun wasn’t even mugged but simply murdered, then perhaps Ms. Fellenzer could point me toward another ethnic group in the region that has a history of killing monks and attacking/raping nuns.

As for the fact that “no one has been apprehended for the crime” -- now Ms. Fellenzer is starting to get the picture and might understand why one of the articles I’ve been working on is entitled, “Shoot a Serb; it’s Legal.”

In trying to debunk the nun-killing, Fellenzer gets the details of the crime from a website run by a woman named Svetlana Novko. Here is what Novko emailed me in response to Fellenzer’s blog post:

…[T]he fact is that [Fellenzer] and a few of her buddies are not the only sources "on the ground" that the world has to rely on. And thank God. For Ms. Fellenzer is either irreparably blinded by her good wishes, or she rarely leaves the safety of Camp Bondsteel to see what's actually going on around her.

In addition to international diplomats, including the UN Security Council ambassadors who recently visited the Serbian province and reported that the UNMIK chief's rose-colored Kosovo reports barely relate to the desperate situations on the ground (quite in line with Ms. Fellenzer's ode to the "multiethnic" paradise that Kosovo became under her Veteran Soldier's gaze), the Swedish contingent serving under KFOR
reports in detail about the confusion that ensued when a bloodthirsty Albanian mob surged throughout Kosovo province in March 2004, when “in the presence of 17,000 NATO troops and 4,000 UN police Albanian hooligans fell upon their minorities. 900 people were wounded, 19 died, some thirty churches [35 to be exact] were destroyed, 700 houses burnt down, 4,500 put to flight... When NATO and independent institutes analyzed the debacle on the 17th of March it became clear that the most responsible action an officer could undertake was to break the rules. But that only Swedes and Italians did so.

“All over Kosovo military officers discovered that they were not heading an army but something more resembling of a sanatorium on picnic. Each group of patients had its own pack of guidelines. Americans were not allowed to fight against civilians. Slovaks were not allowed to use truncheons. Germans were forbidden to cross the street, because that was the limit of their section. And so on...

“When two hundred Albanian extremists, armed with Molotov cocktails reached the 16th century monastery they sent out a negotiator with a white flag. He informed the German KFOR soldiers that not a hair would be touched on their helmets if only they moved aside and let them burn in peace. If they remained in place they would face death. So, the Germans rolled away their armoured vehicles and then watched the monastery burning from afar.”

I remember the way we all felt when Father Sava (Janjic) of Decani Monastery was sending us panic-stricken emails saying: Please write to your senators, congressmen, to everyone you know with influence to tell American troops to GET OUT OF CAMP BONDSTEEL AND END THE CARNAGE, or there will be no Serbs left…God only knows what their orders are in case the same thing happens again.

Regarding all that "law and order" being kept by Soldier Nicki and Bondsteel intelligence analyst Sgt. Tara Vayda, who claims that the worst ethnically motivated violence “during our stay in Kosovo has been Kosovo-Albanian teens throwing rocks at Kosovo-Serbian-associated busses or a Serbian elderly couple,” writer Chris Deliso explained from Kosovo in November 2006:

[A]s one disenchanted UNMIK official put it, “These high UN staffers don't want to endanger their next international posting by taking on the criminals and terrorists, and above all they can't admit that the mission has been a huge failure and created a new base for Islamic terrorists. The outside world is not told of what they are bringing on here.”

[I]f you ask any top official in or involved with Kosovo to speak on the record about security issues, the answers are inevitably the same. They can be boiled down to the following: despite some isolated incidents, the security situation in Kosovo is stable, and it is heading toward a happy future as a thriving, multi-ethnic country.

This is precisely the tone of Fellenzer’s blog post. As for Fellenzer’s claim that no churches or monasteries have been attacked since 2004, Deliso wrote:

On Oct. 7 [2006] in Pristina, "children found a hand grenade in the premises of an Orthodox church." Luckily authorities were able to dispose of it safely. In three separate attacks on churches on Oct. 30 in Stimlje, Kacanik, and Djakovica, "unknown persons" tried to set one church on fire, broke into another, and stole the protective fence from the third.

Such is the “vandalism” that Fellenzer dismisses with the following sentence: “The last incident of vandalism of a church in our area [again--her area] involved a broken window from a projectile being thrown four months ago.”

The following incident may or may not be the “vandalism” she’s referring to, though in this case the damage was a bit more than a broken window--Rocket propelled anti-tank grenade fired at monastery:

Foreign diplomats condemned a rocket attack against one of the most revered Serb Orthodox monasteries in Kosovo, while NATO peacekeepers increased security around the World Heritage site.

Peacekeepers and police found a grenade launcher on the hillside overlooking the Decane monastery, and a rocket engine was discovered lodged in the outer wall of the building…

The anti-tank weapon damaged a part of the roof of the wall around the monastery in western Kosovo, NATO said…The Decane monastery compound has been attacked in the past, but it was spared the worst outbreak of violence in the aftermath of the 1998-99 war when ethnic Albanian mobs targeted the Serb minority and damaged or destroyed some 30 churches.

Hints that there will be more non-ethnically-motivated “vandalism”: Serbian Church Condemns Calls for Destruction of Churches . Back to Deliso:

The question of whether Albanian militants, whose acronym and political demands were prolifically sprayed around Kosovo in October, could mount a serious threat to stability was revealed on Oct. 1 when police discovered, in the central Kosovo mountains of Malisevo, "68 anti-tank and 97 anti-personnel mines, as well as 20 hand grenades and 1,500 rounds of small arms ammunition…400 kg of explosives were found in the same area." This is hardly the only contraband arms depot in Kosovo. According to one of my police sources, whole warehouses of rockets can be found in southwestern Kosovo, for example…

What the outside world does not realize is that the rule of these favored UN bureaucrats is creating a Kosovo in which not even they, let alone the rest of us, will be allowed free passage in a future of corrupt police, xenophobic nationalist villages, and Islamist-dominated "no-go areas."

Explains Novko:

No one is attacking or blaming The Soldiers (especially not the real ones), but the politicians behind the veritable CONSPIRACY of silence and cover-up who have created the mess and are now doing their best to shove it under the rug and make it permanently forgotten by severing Kosovo from Serbia and letting it float further down the Stix.

“No one can disarm Albanians. That’s just NATO propaganda.” — Florin Krasniqi, arms smuggler for the KLA, Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, 2005

Fellenzer also believes the KLA is dead. She would have you believe the next source she quotes:

“[The] KLA is not alive and well. It no longer exists as a military organization,” says Multi-National Task Force (East) Chief of Staff, Col. Damon Igou. “However, there are legitimate government institutions that employ some of the former members of the KLA. The KPS (Kosovo Police Service), and an organization similar to our National Guard, the KPC (Kosovo Protection Corps). These organizations are multi-ethnic, professional and legitimate and employ many former members of the KLA that meet their rigorous standards.”

Tell that to Gossett:

Eventually, KLA members were absorbed into the “Kosovo Protection Corps” (KPC), put on the UN payroll, and tasked with providing emergency response and rebuilding. “We believe the Kosovo Protection Corps will make a useful contribution to the restoration of peace and security for all the communities of Kosovo and its progress toward democracy,” declared Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, all brightly.

However, the UN later reported that KPC members had acted as de facto police officers, torturing or killing local citizens, illegally detaining others, extorting “liberation taxes” from businesses, and threatening UN police who attempted to intervene.

Meanwhile, other KLA “veterans” are threatening daily to take up arms and “act as soldiers” if there are further delays on independence:

KLA war veterans running out of patience, urge prompt Kosovo status solution

(Text of report by Radio-Television Kosovo TV on 20 June)

[Announcer] The Kosova Liberation Army War Veterans held a meeting in Decan [Decani] and announced there would be a general mobilization if Kosova's status continues to be postponed…

[Reporter] The war veterans from all Albanian ethnic territories warned that the procrastination of Kosova's status definition may have serious consequences for the country and may lead to a new war in Kosova. They called for a prompt status definition, otherwise--as they said--their patience is running out. This was said at the meeting of war veterans from Dukagjini, Albania, Preshevo Valley, Macedonia and Montenegro that was held in Decan…

[Reporter] According to the veterans, this ultimatum is addressed to all those who do not support independence of Kosova and intend to separate the Albanian territories…

[Mushkolaj] In Kosova, we will oppose the poor UNMIK [United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosova] policies which, over the last eight years, have led to the present situation.

And their brothers in Macedonia, where three of the Ft. Dix plotters originated, are on standby:

Macedonian Albanian veterans prepared to fight for Kosovo (Text of report by Macedonian newspaper Dnevnik on 10 July)

I am prepared to lead 10,000 former ONA (National Liberation Army, NLA) members from Macedonia to demonstrate solidarity by joining their brothers of the UCK (Kosovo Liberation Army) and, if necessary, using arms to gain Kosovo's independence, Fazli Veliu has told Dnevnik. He is the chairman of the ONA Veterans' Association and a DUI (Democratic Union for Integration - BDI in Albanian) deputy in the Macedonian Assembly.

Veliu's message follows the UCK veterans' demand that the negotiating team should not accept any postponement of the Kosovo status resolution, or else they would act as UCK soldiers…

According to him, he could organize some 10,000 former ONA members, which is as many as those who fought in Macedonia in 2001.

If the KLA “no longer exists as a military organization," Fellenzer needs to inform the KLA about its non-existence. As Novko writes,

Officially, the KLA/UCK was ‘disbanded’, but in reality it is ruling the province, starting from its provisional "prime minister", KLA-born war criminal Agim Ceku, and other KLA terrorists-turned-politicians like Ramush Haradinaj, the previous provisional “prime minister” who is currently on trial for war crimes. Also, there is the KLA’s Hashim Thaci, now an "MP.”

As an MP, Thaci probably wouldn’t threaten his American friends, but he did give them this warning last month: "Enough is enough. The time was yesterday. Today is already too late. Tomorrow is dangerous." Still, Fellenzer insists that I’m making all this up because of my “predatory” pundit’s “obvious political agenda.”

Just a few pretty Quotes regarding woman's equility under Islamic Text.  Unlike the Bible, virtually every single one of these is currently carried out today under Sheria (Islamic Holy Law):

MEN IN CHARGE OF WOMAN:

Sura (4:34) - "Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them."

Sura (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them"

Sura (33:59) - "Tell thy wives and thy daughters and the women of the believers to draw their cloaks close round them..."  Men determine how women dress.

Sura (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will." Wives are to be sexually available to their husbands in all ways at all times.  They serve their husbands at his command.  This verse is believed to refer to anal sex, and was "revealed" when women complained to Muhammad about the practice.  The phrase "when and how you will" means that they lost their case.

Sura (66:5) - "Maybe, his Lord, if he divorce you, will give him in your place wives better than you, submissive, faithful, obedient, penitent, adorers, fasters, widows and virgins"  A disobedient wife can be replaced.

------------------------------

On Equility:

Sura (4:11) - (Inheritance) "The male shall have the equal of the portion of two females" (see also Sura (4:176)).

Sura (2:282) - (Court testimony) "And call to witness, from among your men, two witnesses. And if two men be not found then a man and two women"

Sura (2:228) - "and the men are a degree above them [women]"

Sura (5:6) - "And if ye are unclean, purify yourselves. And if ye are sick or on a journey, or one of you cometh from the closet, or ye have had contact with women, and ye find not water, then go to clean, high ground and rub your faces and your hands with some of it"  Men are to rub dirt on their hands if there is no water to purify them following casual contact with a woman (such as shaking hands).

Sura (24:31) - Women are to lower their gaze around men, so they do not look them in the eye.

Sura (2:223) - "Your wives are as a tilth unto you; so approach your tilth when or how ye will..."  A man has dominion over his wives as he does his land.  This verse is sexual and it is widely believed to be addressing the practice of anal intercourse.

Sura (4:3) - (Wife-to-husband ratio) "Marry women of your choice, Two or three or four"

Sura (53:27) - "Those who believe not in the Hereafter, name the angels with female names."  Angels are sublime beings, and would therefore be male.

Sura (4:23) and Sura (33:52) - A man is permitted to take women as sex slaves outside of marriage.

------------------------------


A Woman's Right in Regards to RAPE!:

RAPE:Sura 2:282 - Establishes that a woman's testimony is worth only half that of a man's in court (there is no "he said/she said" gridlock in Islam).

Sura (24:4) - "And those who accuse free women then do not bring four witnesses (to adultery), flog them..."

Sura (24:13) - "Why did they not bring four witnesses of it? But as they have not brought witnesses they are liars before Allah."

You can clearly see here it's terroribly hard to clarify rather a woman has a right in this subject, there is an interesting story where a high ranking religious figure (who happens to be a high ranking government official) clarifies a man's right to rape a woman (or young girl) under Sheria Law.  Pretty Disgusting by our "infidal" (but gender equility) standards.

-------------------------------

ADULTARY:

Borrowed from www.thereligionofpeace.com

Bukhari (6:60:79) - Two people guilty of "illegal intercourse" are brought to Muhammad, who commands that they both be stoned.  Apparently their act was out of love, however, since the verse records the man as trying to shield the woman from the stones.

Bukhari (83:37) - Adultery is one of three justifications for killing a person, according to Muhammad.

Muslim (17:4196) - A married man confesses that he has adultery (four times, as required).  Muhammad orders him planted in the ground and pelted with stones.  According to the passage, the first several stones caused such pain that he tried to escape and was dragged back.

Muslim (17:4206) - A woman who became pregnant confesses to Muhammad that she is guilty of adultery.  Muhammad allows her to have the child, then has her stoned (the description is graphic).

Muslim (17:4209) - A woman confesses adultery and is stoned to death on Muhammad's order.

------------------------------

MAN'S RIGHT TO BEAT HIS WIFE:

Sura (4:34) - "Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great."Bukhari (72:715) - A woman came to Muhammad and begged her to stop her husband from beating her.  Her skin was bruised so badly that she it is described as being "greener" than the green veil she was wearing.  Muhammad did not admonish her husband, but instead ordered her to return to him and submit to his sexual desires.

 

Muslim (4:2127) - Muhammad struck his favorite wife, Aisha, in the chest one evening when she left the house without his permission.  Aisha narrates, "He struck me on the chest which caused me pain."

AISHA:  was married to Muhammad at the age of 6, he had sex with her (raped) at the age of 9.  She is also he's favorite wife.

Ahhhhhhhhh!  The wonder equility of Islam!  Let's All convert!  (or die!)

According to sources close to her family, about five days after she disappeared Sayegh caller her parents to say she was being held against her will in order to marry a Muslim man, who was also a professor at the university.

------------------------------

No Compulsion of Religion?  Freedom of Choice?  Freedom of Conscious?  They dont comply with Islam, and Islam does not welcome them either.  Theres only three choices:

1)  Convert

2)   Die

3)   Pay a humiliating tax for Muslim "protection" (Jizya Tax)

Oh, but be sure your careful not to memorize these things, or you may be called an Islamophobe!!!

------------------------------

TEL AVIV – Hamas-linked militants kidnapped and forcibly converted to Islam a female Christian professor in the Gaza Strip, according to the professor's family and officials from Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah organization.

Hamas members denied the accusations, accusing rival Fatah of spreading lies even though the professor, Sana al-Sayegh of Gaza City's Palestine International University, has indicated she was converted against her will.

Sayegh, head of the university's Science and Technology Department, disappeared June 24, failing to show up at work where she serves as the Gaza Strip's only female doctorate in her field.

After several days, co-workers and Sayegh's parents informed Gaza security officials of the professor's disappearance.

According to sources close to her family, about five days after she disappeared Sayegh caller her parents to say she was being held against her will in order to marry a Muslim man, who was also a professor at the university.

Sayegh's family declined to speak to WND directly, explaining interviews about the matter could endanger the professor.

"Sayegh said she couldn't talk," said a source. "It was very clear she had been abducted and was made to do things she didn't want to do."

A few days later, the family said it received a copy of a conversion document certifying Sayegh had become a Muslim. The document was signed by two witnesses, as required. One witness was Zaher Khail, president of the Palestine International University, who, according to Palestinian security officials is an Islamist close with Gaza-based terror groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad.

Fatah officials say Khail assisted in kidnapping Sayegh, whose family stated she would "never" convert willingly to Islam. Fatah officials also accused Hamas leaders directly of overseeing Sayegh's "forced" conversion.

------------------------------

Now, any Muslim you speak to here stateside, will tell you this does not go on.  The reality differs, obviousily according to all the facts.  Woman in general have absolutely no authority nor any serious holding's of rights under Islamic law, and Christians / Minority groups have even less rights.  I'd advise us all to pray for this Poor Woman, and do honor to her by telling this story to everyone we meet, so that Liberal media and our cowardly actions can have some redeption from this all.

Here's an update to the story below:

GOOSE CREEK — Two men pulled over Saturday in Goose Creek and detained for carrying explosives in the trunk of a car have been charged with possession of an incendiary device, Berkeley County Sheriff Wayne DeWitt announced today.

If convicted of the charges, Youseff Megahed, 21, and Ahmed Mohamed, 24, could face between 2 to 15 years in prison.

DeWitt said the men were pulled over Saturday night on U.S. Highway 176 while driving more than 60 mph in a 45-mph zone. When an officer approached the car, he saw one of them men fold a laptop computer, which the officer believed was suspicious, DeWitt said.
