Similarly, it should be noted from this trade which side adheres to the principles of […]

ONE OF THE REASONS THEY ARE WINNING, AND WINNING BIG IS THAT WESTERN BIEN PENSANTS REFUSE TO SEE THE TRUTH…IT IS MUSLIMS, NOT ISLAMISTS, THAT WANT A WORLDWIDE CALIPHATE AND SEEK TO IMPLEMENT IT BY JIHAD AND PENETRATION OF ALL WESTERN INSTITUTIONS….THIS IS PERVERSE WILLFULL BLINDNESS….RSK
“This is not an Islamic Revolution.”
So opined Olivier Roy, arguably Europe’s foremost authority on political Islam, in an essay published days after Hosni Mubarak was forced from power in February. “Look at those involved in the uprisings, and it is clear that we are dealing with a post-Islamist generation,” he wrote. “This is not to say that the demonstrators are secular; but they are operating in a secular political space, and they do not see in Islam an ideology capable of creating a better world.”

FBI investigating if Somalia bomber was Minn. man By AMY FORLITI
Associated Press
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) – The FBI is testing the remains of a suicide bomber in Somalia to try to determine whether he was one of at least 21 young Somali-American men believed to have left Minneapolis in recent years to join the terrorist group al-Shabab.
If the remains are confirmed to belong to Abdisalan Hussein Ali, it will mark the third time someone from Minnesota has been involved in a suicide attack in Somalia.
“I don’t understand,” said Nimco Ahmed, a Somali community activist in Minnesota, home to the nation’s largest Somali population. “It’s really, really painful to actually see one of the kids who has a bright future ahead of them do this. … It’s a loss for our whole society.”
Al-Shabab said over the weekend that Abdisalan Taqabalahullaah, whom they identified as a Somali-American, carried out the suicide attack Saturday against an African Union base in Mogadishu. The attack killed 10 people, including the two suicide bombers, a Mogadishu-based security official said.

MARK HUMPHRYS: Irish. Atheist. Liberal-right. Anti-jihad. Pro-American. Pro-Israel.
Michael D. Higgins of the Labour Party has been for decades the leader of anti-American politics in the Irish parliament. For years he has been attacking the West’s two frontline states – America and Israel – with his trademark divisive, self-righteous, left-wing rhetoric.
And now the Irish people, insanely, have elected him President. This is madness. Imagine a Tea Party U.S. Republican Presidential visit with the pompous anti-American Michael D. as President. Imagine the offensive Irish insults to Israel for 7 long years with Michael D. as President.
Michael D. Higgins will make Ireland hated in America. Ireland will be linked again and again in world news headlines with anti-American, anti-Israeli and anti-business statements. Michael D. will endlessly attack the Celtic Tiger, and this message will be heard abroad. American companies will hear it. What is wrong with Irish people? Do they want to be poor?
Ireland now has the most anti-American head of state in the western world. That will do wonders for American business and tourism.
And Ireland now has the most anti-Israel head of state in the western world. Most Irish people don’t care. But I am ashamed by it.

The Irish Eyes Not Smiling On Israel: Those of Old Anti-American Warhorse Michael D. Higgins
Michael D. Higgins, veteran Irish leftist politician and poet, who’s now, unexpectedly, President of Eire, could never be mistaken for a warm supporter Israel. (Be sure to look here, which is where I obtained this photo.) Known for his vehement criticism of the United States as well as of Israel, he first visited Gaza in the 1980s, and in 2004 paid a fulsome tribute to Arafat following the latter’s death, attending a candlelit vigil organised by the Ireland-Palestine Soldarity Campaign. He objects to the description of Hamas as a “terrorist” organisation, and in 2007 shared a platform with Hezbollah.

Flip through enough of the 99 percent signs and you realize that the majority of that demographic aren’t complaining about the lack of financial regulation or income inequalities, so much as they’re upset that they took on loans to pay for college degrees to get jobs that don’t actually exist.
The fault here isn’t Wall Street’s, it’s a policymaking apparatus that decided the way to deal with the loss of manufacturing jobs was to get as many college graduates out there as possible to create the industries of tomorrow.
This was Clinton’s platform and it’s Obama’s “Winning the Future” platform, pump enough money into education and the jobs will create themselves. The Dot Com boom in the nineties seemed to back up that policy with entirely new companies springing to life with valuations in the hundreds of millions and twenty somethings at the helm. But a good deal of those companies were nothing more than the foam on another bubble– and more problematically the cream of the tech companies were created by college dropouts. Even more problematically, the tech companies liked to save money by importing Chinese and Pakistani employees on H1-B visas as cheap labor, while their lobbies insisted that this would protect “American” innovation.

Because all that largesse feeds a bureaucratic monster sheltered from competition. According to Neal McCluskey, the associate director of the Cato Institute’s Center for Educational Freedom, the education spending much of the American public believes […]

“From Los Angeles to Chicago to New York the pictures and videos speak for themselves. However, these images represent the few moved to action; arguably more sinister is the undercurrent of conspiratorial whispers which paint a picture of capitalist greed hung on a hook of one people, the Jews.”
John Mann MP outlines his concern with the rise of antisemitism at the Occupy Wall Street protests which has led him to table an Early Day Motion.
As a member of the Treasury Select Committee I have not pulled my punches in questioning representatives of the banking sector.
I have been outspoken in my condemnation of unfettered bonuses and benefits in the city. I can well understand the frustrations of those that are campaigning at St. Paul’s and beyond for a fairer, better-regulated banking sector.
What I cannot understand and will not tolerate is those protest camps playing host to or fostering racism.
