AdScam Martin says he is shutting his mouth. Repeats his vow: Vow of abstinence? Silence? Martin is a hermit: St. Martin of Ottawa. Hypocrite/cowardly St. Martin; show us your stigmata, Fra Paolo.

The outrage from the left liberals is deafening. Their own pacifists are held, threatened with death by the murderous Islamist murderers; the left liberals such as AdScam Martin remain silent. Why? Cowards of the left. >>>

"With that objective in mind I will say nothing more on this matter at this time."

Martin repeats vow

Condemning the kidnapping as a "callous act of terror against innocent people," Prime Minister Paul Martin said Canadian officials are actively working on the case with the Iraqi, British and American governments.

"We seek the safe release of our citizens and the other hostages," Martin said in Toronto Friday evening. "Let us remember these people are in the country on a humanitarian mission. They came to help the people of Iraq... They came to help build peace."

Citing the interest of the hostages, Martin kept his remarks brief.

"We will do all we can to get these men back ... home to their families," he concluded. "With that objective in mind I will say nothing more on this matter at this time."

On day two of his federal election campaign, Martin said he was setting partisan politics aside to pledge the "full resources" of government to the release of the Canadian hostages.

The next day, parliamentary secretary for Canadians abroad Dan McTeague said that Foreign Affairs has been in touch with agencies in the Middle East in an attempt to free the hostages.

With no Canadian embassy in Iraq, federal officials have stressed the difficulty of working on behalf of citizens in trouble there. For its part, Christian Peacemaker Teams has released a statement opposing the use of violence to free the hostages. >>>

Aid group makes plea for Western hostages in Iraq (praises terrorists attacks US)
Reuters ^ | December 4 2005

Posted on 12/03/2005 1:50:57 PM PST by jmc1969

The director of an aid group appealed on Saturday to the abductors of four Western hostages held in Iraq to release them, saying they were working in the country to help free Iraqi prisoners.

Rich Mayer, director of Christian Peacemaker Teams, told the Arabic Al Jazeera television that the four captives -- two Canadians, an American and a Briton -- had been working in Iraq to help relatives locate people held prisoner in Iraq.

He made his comments one day after Iraqi insurgents holding the four threatened in a videotape to kill them unless Iraqi detainees held in prisons run by the Iraqi government and U.S. forces were released by Dec. 8.

"We are working on revealing the occupation's violence and acts. Those people (hostages) are believers who work against the occupation," Mayer told Al Jazeera.

"So we appeal for their release so they can continue their work on your behalf and on behalf of the Iraqi people."

Asked if he was worried about the hostages' lives, Mayer said: "We are worried about the lives of these people. But we know that thousands of Iraqis are held illegally by the U.S. forces in prisons that violate international law and in worse conditions than these four."

Ohio imam sees Canada as possible new home
Globe and Mail / AP ^ | November 30, 2005

Posted on 12/03/2005 3:15:02 PM PST by Lorianne

Detroit — The leader of Ohio's biggest mosque, who is facing deportation proceedings on terrorism-related charges, is ready to leave the United States and sees Canada as a possible new home, he lawyer said Wednesday.

Lawyers for Imam Fawaz Damra have been conducting negotiations in hopes of finding a country that would accept him, said Mosabi Hamed, who represented Mr. Damra in U.S. immigration court in Detroit on Wednesday.

"He's tired. He wants to take his wife and kids and leave," Hamed said.

However, Mr. Hamed said Mr. Damra continues to fight the charges against him as "a matter of honour." Mr. Damra was convicted in June 2004 of concealing ties to three groups that the U.S. government classifies as terrorist organizations when he applied for U.S. citizenship in 1994. Mr. Damra's conviction for naturalization fraud wasn't enough to warrant deportation because he has legally lived in the United States for five years.

Immigration officials are seeking to remove him on charges of raising funds for terrorist organizations.

Mr. Hamed said Mr. Damra had not decided in what country he would like to live, but that Canada is a possibility. He did not elaborate. >> more

Here we go again.

Political correctness trumping the need to end terrorism.

What else could one call it?

What's it going to take to end terrorism? Appeasement, as we've seen, only makes it worse.

In my opinion, the fastest way to end terrorism is for the Muslims themselves to end it. The good, peaceful Muslims must neccessarily turn their backs on Muslims who hate non-Muslims and who preach and practice violence against anyone in the name of their religion. If they don't, the long-run consequences will be their fault as well as the fault of the Islamic terrorists.

AND DON'T BLAME THE VICTIMS OF TERRORISM!

CAIR has been getting a bit too brave in stepping out lately. Of course the more public they become, the greater their risk of being exposed as the terrorists they are and support. The only problem is, will anyone care that they are terrorists, or does everyone just believe that they are another minority group whose "freedom" is being quelled.

Homosexual's meet CAIR - CAIR, these are homosexuals...

The Black Book of Saddam Hussein

A new 700-page book published in France details the nightmarish dirty deeds of Saddam Hussein: The big black book of horrors (Hat tip: Lady of Shalott.)

The obsession of many journalists and commentators with the fruitless hunt for chemical, biological and nuclear weapons has meant much of the evidence of Saddam’s atrocities in liberated Iraq has been under-reported. Sinje Caren Stoyke, a German archeologist and president of Archeologists for Human Rights, catalogues 288 mass graves, a list that is already out of date with the discovery of fresh sites every week.

“There is no secret about these mass graves,” Stoyke writes. “Military convoys crossed towns, full of civilian prisoners, and returned empty. People living near execution sites heard the cries of men, women and children. They heard shots followed by silence.”

Stoyke estimates one million people are missing in Iraq, presumed dead, leaving families with the dreadful task of finding and identifying the remains of their loved ones.

Abdullah Mohammed Hussein was a soldier fighting in the mountains when Iraqi troops took the Kurdish village of Sedar and deported three-quarters of the inhabitants, including his mother, his wife and their seven children. They were taken to a concentration camp at Topzawa and from there some were taken to an execution ground near the archeological site of Hatra, south of Mosul. The remains of 192 people have been found, 123 women and children and 69 men, among them Abdullah’s wife and three of their children. There is no trace of his mother and the other four children. They were victims of the genocidal Anfal campaign, which sought to exterminate the Kurds.

Between February and September 1988, 100,000 to 180,000 Kurds died or disappeared. The bombing of the Kurdish village of Halabja with chemical weapons including mustard gas, tabun, sarin and VX on March 16, 1988, which killed 3000 to 5000 civilians, was the most publicised of these atrocities because it occurred near the Iranian border and Iranian troops were able to penetrate with the assistance of Kurds, filming and photographing the victims.

Halabja was not an isolated case however. Saddam used chemical weapons at least 60 times against Kurdish villages during Anfal >>>

A column and an article worth reading about tolerating too much toleration:

1) "Tolerance/forgiveness" by David Warren (in Ottawa Citizen, Dec. 4 but full text not online):
http://www.davidwarrenonline.com/

Excerpt:

'Locke, a great grandfather of modern liberalism, advocated toleration for certain religious non-conformists. He did not for a moment think toleration could be unrestricted. Jews, Catholics, and Atheists were among those whose outlook on life were, for various stated reasons, intolerable to British freedom. Don't laugh, until you have comprehended what those reasons were. Locke, who was quite intelligent, knew that no political order could survive without restricting the activities of people sworn to destroy it. The same principle was invoked from the beginning of modern democracy, to restrict the activities of people (from divine-right monarchists to communists) sworn to destroy democracy.

Over the intervening centuries, Jews, Catholics, and even Atheists found ways to swear allegiance to the British crown, and thus to the Protestant, Christian, liberal political order that crown represented. To get some analogy to what was involved, we might look to contemporary Muslims who insist that no political order is legitimate unless it is based on Koran and Sharia. How can they honestly participate in a society which has consciously and consistently rejected both, and which they are bound by creed to undermine? Just as Catholics were once bound in conscience to reject the legitimacy of the King of England, and therefore deprived of the franchise. You cannot serve two masters.'

2) "The New Berlin Wall" by Peter Schneider (a German), NY Times Magazine, Dec. 4:
http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/04/magazine/04berlin.html?pagewanted=print

Excerpt:

'This is the least expected provocation of the three author rebels: a frontal assault on the relativism of the majority society. In fact, they are fighting on two fronts - against Islamist oppression of women and its proponents, and against the guilt-ridden tolerance of liberal multiculturalists. "Before I can get to the Islamic patriarchs, I first have to work my way through these mountains of German guilt," Seyran Ates complains.

It is women who suffer most from German sensitivity toward Islam. The three authors explicitly accuse German do-gooders of having left Muslim women in Germany in the lurch and call on them not to forget the women locked behind the closed windows when they rave about the multicultural districts.

German immigration policies (and liberal multiculturalism) are only one side of the problem. The other side is the active refusal of many in the Muslim community to integrate. It is an illusion to believe that a German - or French or Dutch - passport and full rights of citizenship are enough to make all Muslims loyal citizens. "The attacks in London," Seyran Ates says, "were in the eyes of many Muslims a successful slap in the face to the Western community. The next perpetrators will be children of the third and fourth immigrant generation, who - under the eyes of well-meaning politicians - will be brought up from birth to hate Western society." It's only a question of time, Ates says, before Berlin experiences attacks like those in London and Madrid. When we spoke, the riots in France had not yet happened.'

Arab Muslim 'Palestinians' use a retarted boy... for their holy crimes.

Israel caught a teenage boy, Husam Abu, trying to cross a checkpoint clad in an explosive suit, the Jerusalem Post reports:

"He was fully aware of what he was to do and told us he received NIS 100 and was instructed to blow himself up near soldiers," ....

"Blowing myself up is the only chance I've got to have sex with 72 virgins in the Garden of Eden," Abdu said his handlers had told him.

The boy's age is in some question. Early reports said he was as young as 8, but the Post says he's 14, and Maariv reports "his identity card indicates that he has already celebrated his 16th birthday." He may also be mildly retarded; Britain's Press Association quotes brother Hosni: "He doesn't know anything, and he has the intelligence of a 12 year old." > more

For a front page example of how to get out of an Indonesian jail, see the case of Michelle Leslie, an Australian model accused of possessing Ecstasy tablets in Indonesia. Amnesty International? Appeals to the ICC? The UN? Try converting to Islam. Also see "Lies and Bribes what she had to do to win her freedom. Now read Gearty's injunction again:

"The moment the human rights discourse moves in this way into the realm of good and evil is the moment when it has fatally compromised its integrity. For once these grand terms are deployed in the discussion, all bets are off as far as equality of esteem is concerned. If we are good and they are bad, then of course equality of esteem as between all of us is ludicrous. Why esteem the evildoer in the same way as he or she who does good?" >>> more
