RUTHFULLY YOURS

Well you know the radical anti-democratic Left in Israel is upset
when even Haaretz runs a major news story about Isracampus and the
watchdog groups that are monitoring and exposing Israel’s tenured
traitors.

Haaretz today ran the following news story, complete with all the
usual spins, half-truths and outright lies you would expect from
Haaretz. Distortions and all, the real message gets through. Haaretz
and the Left are hysterical! The tenured Left is being exposed! The
Israeli and overseas Jewish public are learning the truth! Can
anything be more frightening than that for the Radical anti-Israel
Left?

The 2012 Intra-Muslim Predicament
Ambassador (ret.) Yoram Ettinger, “Second Thought”
“Israel Hayom” newsletter, January 20, 2012

At the outset of 2012, irrespective of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Palestinian issue, the defining geopolitical and religious schism in the Middle East is boiling, exacerbating violent intra-Muslim fragmentation, religious, tribal, ideological and geographical.

The Syrian death toll is approaching 7,000, trending toward Papa Assad’s 1982 massacre of 20,000 Sunni rebels. The Turkish-Kurdish confrontation has shifted to a higher gear, exceeding 40,000 casualties since 1984. During the first week of January, a series of sectarian-driven bombings devastated Baghdad and Nasiriyah in Iraq, murdering more than 140 persons. More were killed in the Sunni stronghold of Mosul. Car bombs, suicide bombing and improvised explosive devices have become daily routine in Iraq, whose Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is a Shia Arab, President Jalal Talabani is a Sunni Kurd and Vice President Tariq al-Hashemi is a Sunni Arab. Iraq has become an explosive platform for its vindictive Shia Arab majority (60%), which was dominated and oppressed by the Sunni Arab minority (20%) since the seventeenth century. The historic conflict between Iraq’s Arabs and Iraq’s 15% Kurdish minority – which claims independence in northern Iraq, where it also confronts the Turkish military – further complicates matters.

Sri Lanka has reportedly ordered 161 foreign Muslim preachers to leave the country for flouting visa regulations.

A senior immigration official was quoted as saying that the clerics had no right to preach in mosques because they had arrived on tourist visas.

He also said that some local Muslims had complained that the visitors were not teaching a moderate form of Islam.

The preachers – from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, the Maldives and Arab nations – must now leave by 31 January.

READ PATRICK DUNLEAVY’S BOOK TO BE SHOCKED BY THE NUMBER OF MOSLEMS IN AMERICAN JAILS AND THE RADICAL PRIOSN IMAM’S WHO CONVERT THEM AND MANIPULATE THEM…
The Fertile Soil of Jihad: Terrorism’s Prison Connection by Patrick T. Dunleavy (Hardcover – Sep 30, 2011)

The number of young Muslims in British prisons has skyrocketed over the past two decades and, according to a Muslim advisor to the United Kingdom’s Prison Service, Islamic preachers are to blame.

There are now almost 11,000 Muslim males, mostly in their teens or twenties, in British prisons. This figure is almost six times what it was 20 years ago and represents 12.6% of the total prison population in England and Wales — a huge over-representation considering that Muslims comprise around 5% of the British population. By comparison, in 1991 there were 1,957 Muslim inmates in British prisons.

Gingrich and Arafat – Anatomy of a Smear http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/

THE DIRTIEST HANDSHAKE IN JEWISH HISTORY IS THAT OF THE LATE PRIME MINISTER RABIN AND ARAFAT….RABIN LEGITIMATED THE VERMIN AND ISRAEL HAS PAID A TERRIBLE PRICE FOR HIS APPEASEMENT…..RSK

Two photos are being circulated of Gingrich shaking hands with Arafat, one from 1993 and one from 1998, with the context stripped away, to imply that Newt was formerly friendly with Arafat and then “changed” his position.
The 1998 photo is the easiest to address because it is the most amply documented. That photo was taken during Gingrich’s trip to Israel and I will let the news stories from the time speak for themselves.

After days of angering Palestinians by publicly siding with Israel, House Speaker Newt Gingrich was upbeat about his talks yesterday with Yasser Arafat and insisted he was just trying to help move the peace process forward.

Later, the Georgia Republican alluded to his outspoken speech Tuesday to Israel’s parliament, when, veering from U.S. policy, he declared Jerusalem “the united and eternal capital of Israel.” Yesterday, Gingrich said it was his guess that Arafat himself knew Jerusalem would always be the capital of Israel.

Measuring the Man in Charge A general’s life story and an inside look at his year in command in Afghanistan

THIS PARAGRAPH SAYS IT ALL AND DEMONSTRATES THE SMALL AND NARROW MIND OF THE MAN WHOSE APPALLING COIN STRATEGY AND RULES OF ENGAGEMENT AND “NATION BUILDING” COST AMERICAN LIVES. THIS SO CALLED BIG IDEA IS DRIVEL NOT EVEN WORTHY OF A LOWER LEVEL OFFICE BUREAUCRAT…..RSK

“Ms. Broadwell and Mr. Loeb begin by laying out the “four tasks” that Gen. Petraeus urges “strategic leaders” to perform. First, get “the big ideas right”; second, communicate those “big ideas”; third, oversee “the implementation of those big ideas”; and finally capture “best practices and lessons” and cycle them “back through the system to help refine the big ideas.” The authors then show how Gen. Petraeus applied this approach to such basic tasks as crafting rules on the use of force designed to strike a balance between being aggressive without causing unnecessary civilian casualties.”Paula Broadwell, a 1995 West Point graduate and former Army officer, went to work in 2008 on a doctoral dissertation at King’s College London on Gen. David Petraeus and his role in U.S. military innovation in the post-9/11 era. When the general, after striking success with the troop “surge” in Iraq, was appointed as the senior U.S. commander in Afghanistan in July 2010, Ms. Broadwell decided to try to spin off a book from her research. She found a high-powered agent, she says in “All In: The Education of General David Petraeus,” who persuaded her to “go big” with a book of considerably wider scope and greater sales prospects than her dissertation. Vernon Loeb, an editor at the Washington Post, was recruited as her co-author.

Understanding Islamofascism By Yonatan Silverman

The exact identity of the person who coined the expression “Islamofascism” isn’t crystal-clear. But the late Christopher Hitchens should be given credit for defining the term.

The most obvious points of comparison would be these: Both movements are based on a cult of murderous violence that exalts death and destruction and despises the life of the mind. (“Death to the intellect! Long live death!” as Gen. Francisco Franco’s sidekick Gonzalo Queipo de Llano so pithily phrased it.) Both are hostile to modernity (except when it comes to the pursuit of weapons), and both are bitterly nostalgic for past empires and lost glories. Both are obsessed with real and imagined “humiliations” and thirsty for revenge. Both are chronically infected with the toxin of anti-Jewish paranoia (interestingly, also, with its milder cousin, anti-Freemason paranoia). Both are inclined to leader worship and to the exclusive stress on the power of one great book. Both have a strong commitment to sexual repression-especially to the repression of any sexual “deviance”-and to its counterparts the subordination of the female and contempt for the feminine. Both despise art and literature as symptoms of degeneracy and decadence; both burn books and destroy museums and treasures.

Hitchens hit the nail on the head with respect to the cultural and political parallels in the concept Islamofascism. But the thing is that even though Hitchens perspicaciously pinpointed lines of convergence between Islam and fascism, the fact remains that fascism, in the strictest sense, is a narrow and even myopic political idea which emerged in the 20th century and has since expired.

Even though it is convenient to call brutal Islamic regimes like Iran Islamofascist, the brutality of these regimes emanates not from fascism — but from Islam. Among other things, fascism shuns religion and belief in God, while in Islam, everyone and everything submits to Allah and the Koran, along the traditional lines of religious devotion.
