A Conversation with Imam Fouad ElBayly
A reader of Jihad Watch picked up the phone and called the Johnstown Islamic Center, and who should answer but Imam Fouad ElBayly, who said publicly that Islam critic Ayaan Hirsi Ali should be executed: A conversation with Imam Fouad ElBayly.
I called the number and someone picked up and said hello. I said I was calling with regard to Imam Fouad ElBayly. The person on the other end said, “Speaking.” (!!!!)
Me: Is this Imam Fouad ElBayly?
ElBayly: Speaking.
Me: I understand that you called for the murder of Ayaan Hirsi Ali.
ElBayly: Oh no no, that was not correct.
Me: I have the quote right here. You said, “She has been identified as one who has defamed the faith. If you come into the faith, you must abide by the laws, and when you decide to defame it deliberately, the sentence is death.”
ElBayly: Yes, but that is not my word. That is the call of God. …- http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/

China to overtake U.S. as top greenhouse gas emitter this year

“To fuel the furnaces the local environment was denuded of trees and wood taken from the doors and furniture of peasants’ houses.”
How/when did China set out on its road to become the world’s biggest source of GHGs? Who was responsible?
One man’s will: Mao. Mao is the idol/god of Mao Strong from Canada.
Kyoto is the end result: a fraud/hoax from the Green movement.
Here is the beginning of Kyoto: Backyard steel furnaces which produced useless pig-iron.
Great Leap Forward
[…]
Mao saw grain and steel production as the two key pillars of economic development. He forecast that within 15 years of the start of the Great Leap, China’s steel production would surpass that of the United Kingdom. In the August 1958 Politburo meetings, it was decided that steel production would be set to double within the year, most of the increase coming through backyard steel furnaces. Mao was shown an example of a backyard furnace in Hefei, Anhui in September 1958 by provincial first secretary Zeng Xisheng. The unit was claimed to be manufacturing high quality steel (though in fact the finished steel had probably been manufactured elsewhere). Mao encouraged the establishment of small backyard steel furnaces in every commune and in each urban neighbourhood. Huge efforts on the part of peasants and other workers were made to produce steel out of scrap metal. To fuel the furnaces the local environment was denuded of trees and wood taken from the doors and furniture of peasants’ houses. Pots, pans, and other metal artifacts were requisitioned to supply the “scrap” for the furnaces so that the wildly optimistic production targets could be met. Many of the male agricultural workers were diverted from the harvest to help the iron production as were the workers at many factories, schools and even hospitals. As could have been predicted by anyone with any experience of steel production or basic knowledge of metallurgy, the output consisted of low quality lumps of pig iron which was of negligible economic worth. …- http://www.answers.com/topic/great-leap-forward

Report: China Will Pass U.S. As Polluter
SHANGHAI, China (AP) – China will pass the United States as the world’s biggest source of greenhouse gasses this year, an official with the International Energy Agency was quoted as saying.
China had been forecast to surpass the U.S. in 2010, but its sizzling economic growth has pushed the date forward, the IEA’s chief economist, Fatih Birol, was quoted as saying in an interview appearing in Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal newspaper.
“In the past couple of months, economic growth and related coal consumption has grown at such an unexpected rate,” Birol was quoted as saying. China’s rising emissions will effectively cancel out attempts by other countries to reduce their own, he said.
Those comments follow the weekend release of a Chinese government report detailing the costs of climate change but asserting that the country should focus on development before cutting greenhouse gas emissions.
Higher than average temperatures meant spreading deserts, worsening droughts, shrinking glaciers and increased spread of diseases, said the report, compiled by more than a dozen government bodies.

Man with concealed-carry permit kills robbery suspect in Cleveland
CLEVELAND—A man who has a permit to carry a concealed gun shot and killed one of two teenage robbery suspects he encountered on his front porch, police said. City prosecutors decided yesterday that the 25-year-old Cleveland man was justified and would not be charged in the shooting Saturday night of 15-year-old Arthur Buford, a freshman at John F. Kennedy High School.
Buford and another teen approached the man on his porch and one of the youths pulled a gun, prompting the resident to pull his gun and shoot Buford several times in the chest, police said.
Police took a .40-caliber Smith and Wesson from the man as evidence, according to a police report.
Toby Hoover, director of the Toledo-based Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, said she had not heard of any other fatal shooting involving someone who has a permit to carry a concealed gun under the state’s 3-year-old law.
About 30 youths gathered Monday at the intersection where Buford died and set up a memorial. His cousin, Tameka Foster, 21, questioned the decision against prosecuting the shooter.
“They let that man run out freely,” Foster said. “My cousin is dead.”
Buford’s alleged accomplice fled after and shooting and has not been caught. Police believe a .38-caliber handgun they found in the mail chute of a nearby house belonged to Buford or the other suspect, Lt. Thomas Stacho said. …- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1822587/posts

Town hall kiss-off
Terence Corcoran, Financial Post
Published: Tuesday, April 24, 2007
The usual way of politics is for large numbers of people to rally round a small number of politicians. Not so with income trusts, where a large number of Liberal politicians are gathering around a small number of trust activists.
That became more than clear last Friday at a “town hall” meeting staged on the trading floor of the old Toronto Stock Exchange. At normal public meetings, people arrive and scatter around, with more finding it comfortable toward the back of the room. Not so at this noon-hour event, organized with the help of Brent Fullard’s Canadian Association of Income Trust Investors (CAITI) to rally seniors and others against Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s income trust tax. Most of the front row seats were filled.
Front-heavy public meetings are unusual, but it soon became clear that this was not a public meeting. It was a staged political event, which means making sure the front-row seats are larded with politicians, supporting dignitaries and hangers-on, to provide maximum exposure to the politicians.
Packing the front rows of the town hall were Liberals John McCallum, Paul Szabo, Bill Graham, John MacKay, Jim Peterson and Senator Gerry Grafstein, among others, all of whom were introduced at the beginning or whose entrances were noted when they arrived late — Ken Dryden and Judy Sgro, for example. It would not be far wrong to say that the number of Liberal MPs and operatives outnumbered retired Canadians in the audience. Also making an autopilot beeline for the front of the room was veteran seat-warmer Sinclair Stevens, arriving from a political space and time in federal politics too strange to recall right now. […]
Mr. Handler is the promotional genius who paid two women to stage a kiss-and-grope session on Bay Street last summer to protest regulatory failure at the Ontario Securities Commission. The link between lesbian kissing and securities regulation has always been hard to follow, and Mr. McCallum’s facial expression grew stony as Mr. Handler said the real cause of trust industry problems has been sleazy brokers pushing trusts and lax regulation, not the Conservatives.
Mr. McCallum, a former Royal Bank economist, is now a professional politician, so he has mastered the art of the quick recovery. He soon overcame his initial reaction to Mr. Handler’s references to the lesbian kiss-off and lax regulators by saying that if Mr. Handler’s charges are true, “we should fix those problems.” But that’s not the object of this meeting, he said, returning the town hall to its true purpose: electing Liberals. http://www.canada.com/nationalpost/financialpost/comment/story.html?id=d73e5e74-0db1-44b7-925a-82420d50eb46

Newfoundland seeks ‘cultural, financial and moral autonomy’ from Ottawa
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. (CP) – The Newfoundland government says it will strive towards greater financial autonomy from Ottawa.
In a throne speech Tuesday read by Lt.-Gov. Ed Roberts, Premier Danny Williams said the province will try to reduce its economic reliance on the federal government. “Our people have now also learned that we will achieve self-reliance economically by taking charge of our future as a people,” the speech said.
“To that end, my government will harness the desire among Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to cultivate greater cultural, financial and moral autonomy vis-a-vis Ottawa.”
[…]
o Note: Never let it be said that Danny Williams is stupid. He knows very well that Harper wants this for all provinces in Canada and yet, in the way the speech was written, when ”Super Danny” sees his demands recognized, it will appear to ordinary voters in his province that it was all his idea because he stood up to Ottawa. What a winner! He makes Joey Smallwood look like Stephane Dion. …- http://www.jacksnewswatch.info/

Dutch Abortion Boat Granted License for International Abortions
LifeSiteNews
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, April 24, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Dutch abortion boat has been granted government permission to perform abortions in international waters on women up to 7 weeks pregnant, despite a massive national and international outcry, the Times online reported earlier today.
The boat has caused an uproar at home in the Netherlands and abroad. Condemned by governments and pro-life organizations as a propaganda tool for pro-abortion activists, the abortion boat has come under intense criticism for offering to perform abortions on women from countries where the procedure is illegal.
Operated by Women on Waves, the abortion boat was effectively shut down in 2004 after then-public health minister Clémence Ross imposed a ban on travel into international waters, forbidding the boat to travel outside a radius of 25 km from Amsterdam’s Slotervaart hospital. …- http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1822911/posts
The Ontario gov’t has just rejected pollution scrubbers for its many energy-producing coal plants, because of the cost – The cost for the four remaining coal-fired electrical plants would be 1.6 billion.
The plants are due to be closed in seven years (but will they?). The cost of the huge Nanticoke plant alone would be 666 million.
Cutting emissions and pollution isn’t cheap. It’s simple and simplistic to say that ‘the future will be disastrous if we don’t curb both’, but, reducing a society to impoverishment isn’t a valid tactic. The cuts have to be gradual, tied to research and development of new technologies and new energy sources.

Sen. Joe Lieberman said the United States would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and warned that America was losing patience with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s regime.
*The world cannot allow this nation with this leader having said what he has said to get nuclear weapons,* Lieberman said during a speech at a synagogue in Montreal, Canada, on Sunday.
*The U.S. would never say that it would not use military power to at least try to knock out part of the nuclear weapons program of Iran to at least delay the time it takes to get nuclear capacity. That’s the last choice. I hope we don’t get to it.*
The senator from Connecticut said the Achmadinejad regime *poses as great a threat to us in the 21st century, if not dealt with seriously, as fascism and communism did in the last century.*===== NewsMax
LA Times— Russia signaled sharp dissatisfaction Monday with Iran’s defiant stance on nuclear issues, saying the start-up of a Russian-built nuclear reactor will be delayed and warning that Moscow will not join Tehran *in anti-American games.*
Atomstroyexport, the state-run company building Iran’s first nuclear power plant, said the supply of fuel to the nearly completed Bushehr facility would not begin this month as planned because of unresolved disputes over financing. The scheduled September launch of the reactor will also be delayed, it said.

Buford and another teen approached the man on his porch and one of the youths pulled a gun, prompting the resident to pull his gun and shoot Buford several times in the chest, police said.
Police took a .40-caliber Smith and Wesson from the man as evidence, according to a police report.
Toby Hoover, director of the Toledo-based Ohio Coalition Against Gun Violence, said she had not heard of any other fatal shooting involving someone who has a permit to carry a concealed gun under the state’s 3-year-old law.
About 30 youths gathered Monday at the intersection where Buford died and set up a memorial. His cousin, Tameka Foster, 21, questioned the decision against prosecuting the shooter.
“They let that man run out freely,” Foster said. “My cousin is dead.”
Buford’s alleged accomplice fled after and shooting and has not been caught. Police believe a .38-caliber handgun they found in the mail chute of a nearby house belonged to Buford or the other suspect, Lt. Thomas Stacho said. …-

Mullah Dadullah, the Taliban’s military commander in southern Afghanistan, is reported to have been surrounded by Afghan troops, sources have told Al Jazeera. About 200 Taliban are believed to be with Dadullah, one of Nato’s most-wanted men, in the province of Uruzgan, a senior official in the Afghan intelligence service said. Taliban spokesmen have told Al Jazeera that heavy fighting and bombing is going on in Uruzgan province, but they said Dadullah was currently in Helmand province….-

Town hall kiss-off
Terence Corcoran, Financial Post
Published: Tuesday, April 24, 2007
The usual way of politics is for large numbers of people to rally round a small number of politicians. Not so with income trusts, where a large number of Liberal politicians are gathering around a small number of trust activists.
That became more than clear last Friday at a “town hall” meeting staged on the trading floor of the old Toronto Stock Exchange. At normal public meetings, people arrive and scatter around, with more finding it comfortable toward the back of the room. Not so at this noon-hour event, organized with the help of Brent Fullard’s Canadian Association of Income Trust Investors (CAITI) to rally seniors and others against Finance Minister Jim Flaherty’s income trust tax. Most of the front row seats were filled.
Front-heavy public meetings are unusual, but it soon became clear that this was not a public meeting. It was a staged political event, which means making sure the front-row seats are larded with politicians, supporting dignitaries and hangers-on, to provide maximum exposure to the politicians.
Packing the front rows of the town hall were Liberals John McCallum, Paul Szabo, Bill Graham, John MacKay, Jim Peterson and Senator Gerry Grafstein, among others, all of whom were introduced at the beginning or whose entrances were noted when they arrived late — Ken Dryden and Judy Sgro, for example. It would not be far wrong to say that the number of Liberal MPs and operatives outnumbered retired Canadians in the audience. Also making an autopilot beeline for the front of the room was veteran seat-warmer Sinclair Stevens, arriving from a political space and time in federal politics too strange to recall right now. […]
Mr. Handler is the promotional genius who paid two women to stage a kiss-and-grope session on Bay Street last summer to protest regulatory failure at the Ontario Securities Commission. The link between lesbian kissing and securities regulation has always been hard to follow, and Mr. McCallum’s facial expression grew stony as Mr. Handler said the real cause of trust industry problems has been sleazy brokers pushing trusts and lax regulation, not the Conservatives.
Mr. McCallum, a former Royal Bank economist, is now a professional politician, so he has mastered the art of the quick recovery. He soon overcame his initial reaction to Mr. Handler’s references to the lesbian kiss-off and lax regulators by saying that if Mr. Handler’s charges are true, “we should fix those problems.” But that’s not the object of this meeting, he said, returning the town hall to its true purpose: electing Liberals.

Bubble-wrapping the baby… may not be such a great idea after all.
“Recent high-profile studies have found that children exposed to
unqualified praise are less likely to push themselves academically,
and that children who are coddled and overprotected are growing up
anxious and irresponsible.”

Newfoundland seeks ‘cultural, financial and moral autonomy’ from Ottawa
ST. JOHN’S, N.L. (CP) – The Newfoundland government says it will strive towards greater financial autonomy from Ottawa.
In a throne speech Tuesday read by Lt.-Gov. Ed Roberts, Premier Danny Williams said the province will try to reduce its economic reliance on the federal government. “Our people have now also learned that we will achieve self-reliance economically by taking charge of our future as a people,” the speech said.
“To that end, my government will harness the desire among Newfoundlanders and Labradorians to cultivate greater cultural, financial and moral autonomy vis-a-vis Ottawa.”
[…]
o Note: Never let it be said that Danny Williams is stupid. He knows very well that Harper wants this for all provinces in Canada and yet, in the way the speech was written, when ”Super Danny” sees his demands recognized, it will appear to ordinary voters in his province that it was all his idea because he stood up to Ottawa. What a winner! He makes Joey Smallwood look like Stephane Dion. …-

The thing I like best about being a conservative is that I don’t have to lie.

I don’t have to say that everyone’s special or that the rich cause poverty or that all religions are a path to God. I don’t have to claim that a bad writer like Alice Walker is a good one or that a good writer like Toni Morrison is a great one. I don’t have to pretend that Islam means peace. …-

-—”This is no small thing. To rewrite the rules of courteous behavior is to wield enormous power”-—
Truer words were never spoken. The Left’s ability to set the rules for polite society, to say what can and cannot be said in public discourse and debate is a tremendous advantage for them. And everytime the Right acquiesces to this debasement of debate, they are putting another nail in their own coffin….-

Dutch Abortion Boat Granted License for International Abortions
LifeSiteNews
AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands, April 24, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A Dutch abortion boat has been granted government permission to perform abortions in international waters on women up to 7 weeks pregnant, despite a massive national and international outcry, the Times online reported earlier today.
The boat has caused an uproar at home in the Netherlands and abroad. Condemned by governments and pro-life organizations as a propaganda tool for pro-abortion activists, the abortion boat has come under intense criticism for offering to perform abortions on women from countries where the procedure is illegal.
Operated by Women on Waves, the abortion boat was effectively shut down in 2004 after then-public health minister Clémence Ross imposed a ban on travel into international waters, forbidding the boat to travel outside a radius of 25 km from Amsterdam’s Slotervaart hospital. …-

The Ontario gov’t has just rejected pollution scrubbers for its many energy-producing coal plants, because of the cost – The cost for the four remaining coal-fired electrical plants would be 1.6 billion.
The plants are due to be closed in seven years (but will they?). The cost of the huge Nanticoke plant alone would be 666 million.
Cutting emissions and pollution isn’t cheap. It’s simple and simplistic to say that ‘the future will be disastrous if we don’t curb both’, but, reducing a society to impoverishment isn’t a valid tactic. The cuts have to be gradual, tied to research and development of new technologies and new energy sources.
Us & Russia losing Patience with Iran
*We have begun to work with reformers within Iran,” he said in remarks reported by the Montreal Gazette. [Canada.com search is poor at times].
*In many ways this is a very unpopular regime within Iran. It’s not impossible to think there might be a popular movement that might try to overthrow the government.*
Lieberman also reaffirmed his support for the U.S. war effort in Iraq.
*We should provide General [David] Petraeus with the time and the resources to succeed,* he declared. *We should not surrender in the face of barbarism.*
========= NewsMax
Sen. Joe Lieberman said the United States would not allow Iran to acquire nuclear weapons and warned that America was losing patience with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s regime.
*The world cannot allow this nation with this leader having said what he has said to get nuclear weapons,* Lieberman said during a speech at a synagogue in Montreal, Canada, on Sunday.
*The U.S. would never say that it would not use military power to at least try to knock out part of the nuclear weapons program of Iran to at least delay the time it takes to get nuclear capacity. That’s the last choice. I hope we don’t get to it.*
The senator from Connecticut said the Achmadinejad regime *poses as great a threat to us in the 21st century, if not dealt with seriously, as fascism and communism did in the last century.*===== NewsMax
LA Times— Russia signaled sharp dissatisfaction Monday with Iran’s defiant stance on nuclear issues, saying the start-up of a Russian-built nuclear reactor will be delayed and warning that Moscow will not join Tehran *in anti-American games.*
Atomstroyexport, the state-run company building Iran’s first nuclear power plant, said the supply of fuel to the nearly completed Bushehr facility would not begin this month as planned because of unresolved disputes over financing. The scheduled September launch of the reactor will also be delayed, it said.
