Pinging is currently not allowed. It will probably be written in the future that one of the great deceptions of the age was the ruse the Arabs of Israel tried to pull over on the world when they stated they wanted a state of “Palestine” along the 1967 boarders or the “Green Line” of Israel.  ...

A Protection Racket
Our regular reader and commenter Sagunto sends this interesting update on the Coptic Church Hit List situation in Holland. We reported in last night’s news feed that Al-Qaeda is threatening Coptic churches in the Netherlands, but Sagunto has even more from one of today’s Newspapers. He says: Just this morning I read about a remarkable initiative by three major Muslim organizations, to “protect” these churches. I’d liken this protection to the kind of “protecti...

Gates of Vienna News Feed 1/4/2011
Muslim teachers in the UK have labeled the BBC “bigoted” and “Islamophobic” for airing a documentary exposing the teaching of Extremist and hateful messages in the curricula of Islamic schools. The teachers maintain the story was inaccurate; the Beeb stands by its program. In other news, Greece has decided to follow the example of the United States (and Israel, for that matter) and build a border wall to keep Illegal Immigrants from entering the country through Turkey. To...

Islamic Takeover of Ivory Coast Imminent
We are witnessing an Islamic takeover of the Ivory Coast. And the French (and the UN, US, and Europe) are helping them. Sick. The reportage on the Ivory Coast election is biased and Islamophliac. Centurion has a good report here: The Ivory Coast joins the ummah. What this article and others like it don’t tell you is that we are witnessing one of those watershed moments in history: Ivory Coast is about to toggle from a (mostly) Christian country to a Muslim country. The winner of the electio...

Coincidence?
Friday night's car bombing at a Coptic Church in Alexandria, Egypt was no coincidence. In the weeks before the New Year's Day Suicide bombing of an Egyptian church, al-Qaida-linked websites carried a how-to manual on "destroying the cross," complete with videos on how to build a bomb and the locations of churches to target — including the one that was attacked. They may have found a receptive audience in Alexandria, where increasingly radicalized Islamic hard-liners have been holding weekly ...

Lady of letters
Avielah Barclay is an Orthodox Jewish woman who aims to live "sincerely and 100%" inside the traditions of her faith. She leads a fastidiously observant life, wears a head covering and a long skirt - in line with Orthodox views on female modesty - and keeps a Kosher kitchen. Yet she is, in many ways, a most unorthodox Jewish woman. Avielah is a scribe. She writes and restores sacred Jewish texts, a job traditionally done by men. At the beginning, my biggest concern was whether this is ...

Rise in asylum seekers in Sweden in 2010
STOCKHOLM, Sweden, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- Recent European Union visa requirement changes meant 2010 saw a marked increase in Serbs seeking asylum in Sweden, official migration board figure indicated. Sweden's Migration Board figures showed an overall rise in the number of people seeking asylum in the country, the Swedish news agency TT reported Tuesday. In 2010, 31,901 people applied for asylum -- including 6,343 Serbs -- compared with the 2009 figure of 24,232, TT reported. The next-greatest groups...

Gunloons and the Pretense of Diversity
Suppose I claim to be a big supporter of Israel. Let's suppose I champion Jewish organizations and causes such as B'nai B'rith and Hadassah and AIPAC. Sounds like I'm pretty pro-Israel, right? But what if I quote folks like David Duke or StormFront approvingly? Now, I'd say there's quite a big disconnect there--that I'm probably either quite confused or I'm probably trying to pull the wool over someone's eyes. As I sagely noted, previously, gunloons like to pretend they're something more than f...

Crescent Sunrise: Spectacular photos of partial solar eclipse over Europe
Earlier today, the new Moon passed in front of the sun, slightly off-center, producing a partial solar eclipse and a fantastic crescent sunrise over Europe. Dennis Put sends this picture from Maasvlakte, The Netherlands: © Dennis Put "The eclipse was absolutely stunning!" says Put. "At first some major cloud fronts threatened to hide the event. I was very pleased to meet the two peaks of the crescent Sun rising above the clouds around 9 o'clock." © Willy Schuppert "Early this mornin...

Aron Winter to become Toronto technical director
Former Netherlands National Team midfielder Aron Winter says he has agreed to become technical director and coach of FC Toronto. Winter, a former player with Ajax and Inter Milan, says in an interview with Dutch daily De Telegraaf that he planned to fly to Canada on Monday to sign with the Major League Soccer club. He told the newspaper that he "had a good feeling" after visiting the club last week. It had appeared Paul Mariner, the former Plymouth Arygle manager, would become Toronto's coach. T...

Believe it or not, despite the Eurozone crisis, most countries sovereign credit risk fares better at the end of 2010 vs. 2009
The funny thing is that most people wouldn't believe the premises of the story that in the diourse of the last year, risk has fallen dramaally. Well, it is true considering where we were at the end of 2009 we thought that the world was going to end. When it didn't the market breathed a sigh of relief. Via Moody's: The “man-bites-dog” story of 2010 is that global sovereign credit risk actually generally improved in 2010, even in Europe, where the Sovereign Debt crisis intensified and ...

Like Moths to the Flame
You just can't keep people from converting to Islam. And we speak here not just of imprisoned Felons in search of a gang to protect them--who after all have other options, such the Crips or the Aryan Nation. Nor of Coptic women allegedly seeking Divorces, or homely, unmarriageable girls seeking husbands. No, reports keep filtering in of people who allegedly made the Shehada on their deathbeds, only to have their (undocumented) conversions covered up by Islamophobic relatives. As Robert Spencer...

Calls for Peace, Tolerance in Cairo
Hundreds of Christians peacefully marched on Tuesday evening to a cathedral in Cairo, protesting the New Year’s Day bombing of the Church of Two Saints in Alexandria. Pope Shenouda III , head of the Coptic Orthodox Church, called on Christian youth to cease protesting and to adopt non-violent means of achieving their goals. He noted that some of the rallies protesting the attack had been joint affairs between Christians and Muslims. In the dense neighborhood of Shubra, joint Christian-Mus...

Peter King vs. the New York Times
Posted by John at 6:53 PM Congressman Peter King of New York is the incoming Chairman of the House's Homeland Security Committee. In that capacity, he intends to conduct hearings on the reasons for the Radicalization of some American Muslims. He has explained his intention in some detail on his own web site: Before 9/11, few if any American politicians had a closer relationship with the Muslim community and its leadership than I did. During my first months in Congress in 1993, I traveled to the...

Aparna Pande: Is Pakistan Part of South Asia? Yes!
Pakistan's Foreign Secretary Salman Bashir recently remarked that "Pakistan, India and other countries in South Asia and the region's population of over one billion people cannot be geographically separated." The remark represents a departure from years of attempts by Pakistan to deny its South Asian identity and link up instead with the Muslim Middle East. Geographically, linguistically, culturally and historically South Asia is a vital part of Pakistan's personality. Yet for decades a majori...

Coming Soon: Jane Fondas Burqini Workout DVD
The Malaysian national news agency, Bernama, has shown a more irenic side of Islam, reporting on Dec. 31 that "Islam does not prohibit any activity, including aerobics, to be carried out in the compound of a Mosque as long as such activities do not contravene Syariah [Sharia] principles, PAS [Pan-Malaysian Islamic Party] spiritual leader Datuk Nik Abdul Aziz Nik Mat said. He said it should not be a problem for either Muslims or non-Muslims to conduct any activity outside or inside the mosque. ...

Hamas Group CAIR Pushes for Islamic Law (Sharia) in Indiana
There is no more radical, extreme system of governance than Islamic law (Sharia). Indiana is proposing a bill that would ban sharia. I pray that they vet the language of the bill with legal experts on sharia (ie David Yerushalmi), so that they don't lose on a technicality. The Oklahoma ban was brilliant but poorly worded and had 70% of voters approving of it -- it is clear that American People understand the Islamic threat to our constituional republic. Check out the media's Muslim pro...

Spencer: Are Muslims Being Victimized In America Today?
In Human Events this morning, I discuss the wave of "Islamophobia" that is supposedly sweeping across America: "Attacks on the American Muslim community and on Islam rose to an unprecedented level in 2010." So claimed Nihad Awad, national Executive Director of the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), in an end-of-the-year fund-raising appeal. The hard-Left TPMMuckraker site claimed that in 2010, "America saw perhaps its worst outbreak of Islamophobia since the attacks." T...

No Tears for Egypts Coptic Christians
Many readers have contacted me over the weekend about the Islamic Terrorist bombing of Coptic Christian churches in Egypt .  And, sorry, but, as I’ve noted before , you’ll get no tears from me over the Copts.  Unlike morons and ignoramuses like Scamela Geller, the car loan Fraud scamming (using Muslim straw buyers) multi-millionairess dilettante, I am educated and actually know a lot about the Copts . . . a lot about Copt Anti-Semitism and Pogroms that this group led agains...

Peretz-the-Leftist Defames Pollard As Repellent Viper
In the last days of 2010, Martin (“Marty”) Peretz, the founding (and now retired) editor and publisher of The New Republic, published two rambling, hysterical, and gratuitously cruel pieces which strongly advised President Obama not to pardon Jonathan Pollard. No one, other than his own demons, asked Peretz weigh in on the matter; he could simply have remained silent. After all, Peretz has lived the life of a wealthy, influential, and outspoken Jewish public figure—a life of honor and fr

'Friends Of Rick Sanchez' And Rabbi Shmuley Boteach Defend Ex-CNN Anchor
Rick Sanchez is looking to make a comeback after being fired from CNN in October. Or, rather, his friends are making one for him. The eponymous website "Friends of Rick Sanchez" (tagline, "Get the whole story") makes the case for Sanchez's compassionate side, saying "Rick doesn't hate. He doesn't discriminate." Sanchez was fired after he being quoted on Peter Dominick's Radio Show calling Jon Stewart a "bigot" and suggesting that Jews run CNN. Sanchez later apologized for the remarks. So, to ...

Video: Jewish life in Holland
Here's a short report from French television with English subtitles about Jewish life in Holland. It's not pretty. Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: Gates of Vienna). It sounds like there may be a lot more Jews from Holland arriving here soon. But it seems that Mrs. Evers will have to move here for her Children to move here. Is she up to moving?

The New Jews?
Our Flemish correspondent VH has compiled a report on a Scandal which unfolded during the Christmas holiday and caused quite an outrage in the Netherlands. It seems that the Socialist leader Job Cohen dusted off the time-tested comparison of European Muslims in the 21st century with European Jews in the 1930s. Everybody remembers what was happening in 1939, right? All those Jews blowing up churches and train stations… demanding Kosher food in schools… threatening anti-Semitic cartoon...
