  3. Marrying multiple children in the name of God/Allah.
    Beating said children in the name of God/Allah.
    Providing our society with inbred children in the name of God/Allah.
    Yet, these same religious people would have you imprisoned, or worse, for smoking a joint/having a drink, all in the name of God/Allah.
    Damn religious nutjobs, they all deserve harsh prison sentences(J range, Millhaven, where hard core criminals deal out justice to those who would abuse children)and/or deportation.

    “”The Games this year have already produced a new Olympic discipline: torch extinguishing.”
    Olympic Flame Now ‘Symbolizes Repressive Regime’
    The global Olympic torch run has descended into chaos and China has only itself to blame, write German media commentators. The protests have even created a new sport — “Flame Extinguishing.””

    “China Loses Control of the Games
    China had been hoping to show itself as a worldly and tolerant host of the Olympic Games. But the sporting festival has already become a PR disaster for the country. Repression in Tibet and ongoing crackdowns have revealed the extent to which the country remains a police state.”
    “The image of four-month-old Qianci in the arms of her mother, Zeng Jingyan, is hard to dispel. The little girl is screaming at the top of her lungs, her crumpled face a picture of fear. Of course, she doesn’t know why camera teams are bending over her, blinding her with their lights and terrifying her with their microphone booms suspended terrifyingly close to her face. All she can hear is her mother, cursing and crying at the same time, bitterly condemning the government and bravely wiping the tears from her face. The mother eventually removes her child from the commotion and takes her home to the gated community where they live, a luxurious example of pre-Olympic urban renewal in Tongzhou, a suburb of Beijing. The community is called “Bo Bo Freedom City.”

  5. Die Fackel: Karl Kraus (1874-1936) was a blogger?
    “Though he had no computer on his desk, Kraus was essentially a blogger before the fact: his basic technique was to write a couple of hundred words about something silly in the newspaper. He sometimes wrote at length, but his admirers preferred him to keep it short. The kind of thing they liked best from him might have been designed to pop up on a Blackberry today. “An aphorism can never be the whole truth,” he once wrote: “It is either a half-truth or a truth and half.” Yes, but that’s an aphorism. So is it true?”

    “A liberated woman,” said Karl Kraus, “is a fish that has fought its way ashore.”

    “”What? you might ask. How did I miss that? If only I had known, I would have gone to see him.
    Well, there’s a reason you didn’t know about it. Obama didn’t want you to know about it. Because the events he was attending weren’t for people like you.
    They were for people with lots and lots of money, who use that money to gain access and influence with politicians — especially politicians who might become president.
    So although the San Francisco Bay Area is probably the most pro-Obama section of the entire country, with Obama signs and stickers visible everywhere you turn, when Obama himself actually visited his electoral home base, he ignored the hoi polloi — all the little people who swoon over him — and instead, he spent the entire day with the rich. According to local gossip columnist Leah Garchik:”

    Israel seeks extradition of rabbi from Canada
    Rabbi Elior Chen and his followers are suspected of abusing two children, aged 3 and 4, who were burned and severely beaten with hammers, knives and other instruments, police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said. The 3-year-old suffered permanent brain damage, he added.
    The Haaretz daily quoted an unidentified friend of Chen’s who said the rabbi chose Canada because “the extradition law is tough” there.

    Of course the good news is papered over with a claim that “The Government of Canada” is NOT doing enough to tell people about the
    Progress ! . At least he told the blinking bimbo that the News Media are somewhat responsible for this … but Thompson’s brain clearly was suffering from cognitive disconnect….
    Also a Poll at CTV online … Should the US troops leave Iraq? ….
    Immediately = 27%
    Gradually = 47%
    No – Jobs NOT DONE = 26%

    “both the Christian and Islamic practice of it.”
    There never has been a Christian practice of polygamy, quite the opposite in fact. I think you’re mistaking Mormonism for Christianity, a belief which is hardly Christian.
    There remains a few regulars on this blog that continue to morally equate Christianity and Islam. They are fundamentally and foundationally different beliefs. I suggest for your own intelligent comments on religious matters, you might attempt to at least look into it.

  24. Radwan Masmoudi and Joseph Loconte, A Faltering Freedom Agenda
    WHATEVER THE ACTUAL results of Egypt’s municipal elections yesterday, the fix is in: President Hosni Mubarak made sure that even the most moderate and reform-minded candidates would be shut out of the process. The charade of democratic elections in Egypt typifies the Bush administration’s faltering freedom agenda for the Arab world.

  25. Frederick W. Kagan, The ‘Real’ al Qaeda
    How urgently do we need to send more troops to Afghanistan, and is there really nothing else we can do? At the end of 2006, Iraq was so close to complete catastrophe that nothing short of a military surge supporting a changed military strategy had any chance of success. We were within a hair’s breadth of defeat. That is not the case in Afghanistan. The Taliban insurgency has grown in strength, particularly in the south, government control remains weak, security forces are small and inadequately trained and equipped, corruption is rampant, and so on. But the situation is not deteriorating that rapidly, and relatively small additions of force–with improved approaches–have made a significant difference in important areas. NATO certainly needs to send significant additional forces to Afghanistan, and the United States will probably
    have to contribute most of them. But the urgency is nothing like what it was in Iraq in December 2006, and is driven more by the need to secure Afghan elections in 2009 than by the danger that the country is about to collapse.

  26. Irwin Daisy – you are correct – I used Christianity in the general sense (i.e. belief that Jesus died for our sins) but should have been more precise and used: the Mormon and Islamic practice of polygamy.
    A comparison of Mormon and Christian doctrine is an eye opening read.


  27. Michelle Malkin     as noted above is bringing to the attention of the American conservative blogosophere the threatened Warman suit of Kate and other bloggers.

    I’m issuing a friendly suggestion – not even a challenge – in particular to Expats or “non-Canadian” readers of sda to send a donation Kate’s way for both financial and moral support.
    It’s a tangible opportunity to contribute to the Good Fight being waged.

  28. Even the New York times is recognizing that Liberals have vacated their traditional role and opted for extremism, aligning themselves with Islamofascists:
    (Brussels Journal)
    In a recent op-ed piece – Why Radical Islam Just Won’t Die – for the New York Times, Paul Berman observed that only five years ago:
    “Western intellectuals without any sort of Middle Eastern background would naturally have manifested an ardent solidarity with their Middle Eastern and Muslim counterparts who stand in the liberal vein — the Muslim free spirits of our own time, who argue in favor of human rights, rational thought (as opposed to dogma), tolerance and an open society.
    […] In today’s Middle East, the various radical Islamists, basking in their success, paint their liberal rivals and opponents as traitors to Muslim civilization, stooges of crusader or Zionist aggression. And, weirdly enough, all too many intellectuals in the Western countries have lately assented to those preposterous accusations, in a sanitized version suitable for Western consumption.”
    One of the most significant effects of the emergence of radical Islam in the West is that liberals will not only defend (Islamic) religious extremists, but are increasingly abandoning their own supposed values to conservatives, who now seem to be the main defenders of democracy, freedom of speech, and even human rights for women and homosexuals. Liberals, as Paul Berman seems to imply, are also happy to embrace, or at least overlook, anti-Semitism, which emanates, more often than not, from radical Islam. Conversely, again, conservatives in both Europe and the U.S. tend to oppose anti-Semitism, and may also take a pro-Israel stance…
    How true.
    (the rest is an excellent and damning article on Liberals and their WMD against the west – Multiculturalism)

  29. [quote]Mormon and Islamic practice of polygamy.[/quote]
    The actual practice of polygamy (old guys get preference) is analogous to Union Seniority.
    Do you think the NDP had that in mind when they
    lowered the age of concent to 14 years ?
    BTW: Boycotting the Olympics is a fitting task for the drain dead.

  30. Irwin Daisy: that kind of article, and other things that have been discussed here over the months, are the things that herald the slow but probably accelerating recognition that many of the “liberal” ideas of today are wrongheaded.
    I hope, but I am not necessarily optimistic, that eventually a critical mass of people, especially in the media, will realize the problems that we have created with our “take- no-responsibility-nanny-state-anti-Western-multi-multi” policies, and then things can start to be reversed.
    I note that the ACLU taken on an investigation of a charter (publicly funded) school in Minnesota that was pushing an Islamic agenda, and basically lying to the state. I bet you 2 years ago they would have just ignored the case.

  31. The church and state must be kept separate!!! The same is not true of Mosques, obviously. Where’s the problem with that?
    http://www.startribune.com/local/17406054.html
    Recently, I wrote about Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA), a K-8 charter school in Inver Grove Heights. Charter schools are public schools and by law must not endorse or promote religion.
    Evidence suggests, however, that TIZA is an Islamic school, funded by Minnesota taxpayers.

    Former President Jimmy Carter is reportedly preparing an unprecedented meeting with the leader of Hamas, an organization that the U.S. government considers one of the leading terrorist threats in the world.

    Complete with endorsement from Ibrahim Hooper, communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
    With any luck they’ll betray Carter like they betrayed Daniel Pearl.

  35. How to pump Dynomite into a headline out of nothing . . and this from a member of the MSM.
    * * Hon. Peter MacKay: Oh, inevitably. Inevitably we’ll be having discussions about it but the prime minister’s statement that he won’t be attending, you know, is a signal of a personal decision that he’s taken but as far as a policy or something reflective of government policy, we have not taken that decision just yet.
    Question: (Inaudible) question about whether to boycott the Olympics?
    Hon. Peter MacKay: Look, I’m saying it hasn’t come up. I say it hasn’t happened. We have not had the discussion.

  36. It seems the federal Minister of Justice is going to keep his dead down while Warman is allowed to try to exert his influence over conservative blogs by suing in civil court. If R.N casts a blind eye while these civil suits to go ahead resulting in a free-for-all in the civil courts, I can’t see how he expects this to translate into votes for the Cons come election time. However, Premier Ed seems to have won by doing this so it seems the Feds are going down the same road.
    It simply is not right that a number of “small people” are likely going to be out huge amounts of money to debunk the CHRC Industry when governments know full well that they (HRCs) are rotten to the core and are doing nothing about it.
    If there have been any gov’t actions to reign in the federal CHRC/CHRT in the past months, it certainly has not be transparent.
    It would seem that the federal government is going to react the same way that the AB gov’t has reacted – by doing-saying nothing – and just hoping it will all just “go away”. Why wouldn’t they – so far the plan is working.
    AB has its majority and the Cons are not about risk (in their minds) a potential majority by going after the really tough issues.
    So here we sit – contributing our taxes and it has already been taken for granted that our vote will remain solidly PC in the West. The control of central Canada continues on – regardless of who is in charge – to the benefit of Central Canada.

  37. soos,
    Agreed. And I thought as much. It’s just that there are many irrational and ignorant lefties, obfuscating, denying and altogether blurring distinctions and facts on a vital topic.
    Lori,
    Critical exposure of the Liberal agenda seems to be happening, but damn is it slow. Liberals of course haven’t needed to hide their agenda. In Canada, they arrogantly shove it in everybody’s face and use their state funded media propoganda machines to make citizens swallow it. And then just for good measure, they set up undemocratic, totalitarian HRC’s to scare, sue and defame anyone who still dares to disagree. Ultimately ostracising opponents to a psychological Siberia and stripping them of their citizenship as being “unCanadian.”

  38. I surely can’t comprehend how Warman could be defamed. He has no fame to begin with. Astonishing is the fact, that the only people who know Warman, are those who he sued, but he still is able to maintain that their comments are damaging to his reputation. What reputation, bro?

  40. School Kids brought to tolerance indoctrination training at local Mosque whereby they were illustrated the benefit of tolerance by the Muslim head calling the chilren “dogs” because they weren’t muslim.
    The school of course, wants to prevent any disgussion of the matter.
    http://www.nisnews.nl/public/090408_2.htm
    A primary school in Amsterdam wished to provide its pupils with an understanding for other cultures. But during a visit to a mosque, the children were told they were dogs.
    With a view to developing understanding and respect for other cultures among children, primary school De Horizon regularly organises outings to various religious organisations. The chairman of the El Mouchidine mosque told the children from group 7 (aged 10) and their chaperones however that non-Muslims are dogs.

  41. The 1936 Winter Olympics, were held in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Germany; in 1936 the Summer Olympics were held in Berlin, Germany. Leni Riefenstahl was there.
    In 2008 the Summer Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Leni Riefenstahl’s ghost will be there.
    …-
    “Splurge of the Swastika”
    “She had been too busy being a great artist.
    To make this line stick, she had the help of her two big movies from the Nazi-dominated 1930s, Triumph of the Will and Olympia.”
    “At the end of the first Star Wars movie, George Lucas copied the ambience of Triumph of the Will with no apparent sense of how he was really proving that the cause in which Luke Skywalker and his friends had just triumphed could not have been worth fighting for. Lucas wasn’t alone: Trimborn does a useful job of rounding up the unusual suspects. Mick Jagger, Andy Warhol, and Madonna all enrolled themselves on the growing list of Leni’s fans. So did Siegfried and Roy. Francis Ford Coppola said he admired her. Steven Spielberg said he wanted to meet her. If he had made Schindler’s List ten times, he could not have undone the portent of such a wish, because he was really saying that there can be art without a human framework, and that a movie can be made out of nothing but impressive images. Some of Leni’s images were indeed impressive. But the question is never about whether or not you are impressed. The question is about whether you can keep you head when you are. Leni Riefenstahl was impressed by the Nazis, and look what happened.”

  42. I’m not quite sure of Warman’s agenda in suing for defamation. I think he has to show actual results of these statements; that is, defamation protects someone’s reputation, not their feelings.
    Since his career hasn’t faltered, then I think it would be difficult for Warman to show that these comments made about him harmed his reputation.
    His own actions, exposed, i.e., his constant filing of Human Rights cases, even when those cases did not refer to him; his posting on web sites under a pseudonym and at first trying to deny this fact, the video taping of him encouraging young people to physically assault David Icke – these are all actions under his own control. These are the acts that have contributed to any denigration of his reputation.
    Furthermore, his behaviour as the key complainant in so many Human Rights Section 13 cases is publicl and is open to ‘fair comment’ by the public. This includes criticism of his behaviour.
    The blog sites are not acting maliciously, as Warman is trying to claim. They are posting information about someone who was an employee of the taxpayer funded Human Rights Commission, someone who has made the most complaints within Section 13.1 despite these complaints having nothing to do with him personally. And someone who has even advised employees of the HRC how to deal with his cases (conflict of interest). The HRC is a taxpayer funded commission and must be accountable to the public. That means – Richard Warman is accountable to the public.
    The public has a right to make ‘fair comment’ on Warman’s intentions and actions. He may dislike this comment but his actions cannot be unaccountable – which is what he seems to be aiming for. He’s accountable. It’s our money.
    Section 13.1 of the HRAct is unacceptable as a grounds for any complaint. The reason is, that its data base is purely and totally imaginary. Rather than deliberating on actions that have already happened, Section 13 focuses on actions that have never happened..and may never happen.
    The key phrase is ‘any matter that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt”
    So, the hatred or contempt need never have happened. It just might be ‘likely to’. And who decides that it is ‘likely to’? Why, the Commission. How the heck do they know?
    And how can they separate the causes of someone being ‘viewed with hatred or contempt’? How do they KNOW that it’s due to that posted message, rather than the fact that the hated individual is a thug, boor and thief? Hmmm?
    So, I’m puzzled by Warman’s lawsuit. Is he just trying to scare people? Doesn’t he know that people have the right to criticize his behaviour, and interestingly, his behaviour as an employee or ex-employee of the HRC?

  43. “An emerging truth
    There is now unequivocal evidence that the temperature of the planet is dropping like a stone. As the DailyTech site reports:
    All four major global temperature tracking outlets (Hadley, NASAGISS, UAH, RSS) have released updated data. All show that over the past year, global temperatures have dropped precipitously. A compiled list of all the sources can be seen…The total amount of cooling ranges from 0.65C up to 0.75C — a value large enough to wipe out most of the warming recorded over the past 100 years.”
    “This story by Roger Harrabin, headlined ‘Global temperatures “to decrease,” ’ was captured a few hours after it appeared on the BBC website on April 4. Later that day, strange things happened to this story. The headline changed from ‘Global temperature “to decrease” ’ to ‘Global warming “dips this year”; so did the content; but then the headline changed back again to ‘Global temperature “to decrease” ’. Google searches from that day show the two titles with their different time references, although the article is thought to have retained the original time of release throughout on its webpage:
    BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Global temperatures ‘to decrease’ Global temperatures will drop slightly this year due to the effects of La Ninanews.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7329799.stm 17 hours ago – Similar pages
    BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Global warming ‘dips this year’ Global temperatures will drop slightly this year due to the effects of La Nina, UN meteorologists say. news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/7329799. 6 hours ago – Similar pages stm
    Baffled? Here’s the explanation. This site proudly reproduced an email exchange between Harrabin and a global warming activist, Jo Abbess, who introduced it with these words:
    Climate Changers,
    Remember to challenge any piece of media that seems like it’s been subject to spin or scepticism. Here’s my go for today. The BBC actually changed an article I requested a correction for, but I’m not really sure if the result is that much better. Judge for yourselves…
    As you will see from this remarkable exchange, Abbess demanded that Harrabin change his report because it would
    play into the hands
    of global warming sceptics. Harrabin rebuffed her on the grounds that
    We can’t ignore the fact that sceptics have jumped on the lack of increase since 1998. It is appearing regularly now in general media.
    But when she told him there could be no debate about this because it was
    an emerging truth
    and threatened to circulate his remarks so that he
    might appear in an unfavourable light because it could be said that you have had your head turned by the sceptics
    he caved in and said
    Have a look in 10 minutes and tell me you are happier. We have changed headline and more.
    Appalling, no? But then, the headline mysteriously reverted to the original (although the altered text appears not to have done so).”

  46. ET:
    Warman doesn’t have to show that his reputation has been harmed. In a case like this, if he can make the argument that the “defamatory statements” are so terrible and widespread, the judge can automatically infer that damage has been done.
    For example, say I want to accuse you of something terrible like…say…being a huge fan of “Dancing With the Stars.” If I whisper that little tidbit to your employer and you lose your job as a result, then you would have to produce your employer at a defamation trial to show that you indeed suffered damages.
    But, if I were to broadcast it on national TV, you don’t have to produce a single person to back up your claim. The widespread nature of my terrible accusation is enough to allow the court to assume that damage has been done.
    That’s what Warman is counting on here.

  47. The best reason why Multiculturalism must be abolished. Written by Michael Ignatieff of all people:
    “Turning self-hatred into a state creed”
    Barbara Kay, National Post
    This week, the National Post comment pages present Canada’s Biggest Mistake, a series of articles in which our columnists identify the most disastrous blunders imposed on this country by its policy-makers. In today’s instalment, Barbara Kay writes about the sour, divisive legacy of multiculturalism.
    In a speech delivered during the 2006 Liberal leadership campaign, Michael Ignatieff cheerfully remarked: “The great achievement of Canada, and I think we’re already there, is that in Canada you’re free to choose your belonging.”
    There you go.

  48. But, bryceman, what damage has been done to Warman?
    And I don’t think that the ‘widespread damage’ via TV is valid.
    After all, couldn’t the widespread insults, slurs and so on, against Harper, against Dion, against Layton etc..couldn’t these be defined as ‘defamation’? But they aren’t. Why not?
    Because, in Section 301 of the criminal code, it is “matter that, on reasonable grounds, he believes is true, and that is relevant to any subject of public interest, the public discussion of which is for the public benefit.”
    And, section 302, on a public person, you can make comments “on the public conduct of a person who takes part in public affairs”. Well, that’s not only our MPs, it’s our civil service who are publicly accountable. That includes Warman and his behaviour with regard to the HRAct.
    And 311; “No person shall be deemed to publish a defamatory libel where he proves that the publication of the defamatory matter in the manner in which it was published was for the public benefit at the time when it was published and that the matter itself was true. ”
    In my view, the publication by all (Levant, Shaidle, McMillan, Free Dominion etc) were for the public benefit, by making public the abuses of the Human Rights Commission – and Richard Warman’s absue of the HRAct by his personal filing of so many third party complaints, his interference with the process, etc.
    315. No person shall be deemed to publish a defamatory libel by reason only that he publishes defamatory matter in good faith for the purpose of seeking remedy or redress for a private or public wrong or grievance from a person who has, or who on reasonable grounds he believes has, the right or is under an obligation to remedy or redress the wrong or grievance, if
    (a) he believes that the defamatory matter is true;
    (b) the defamatory matter is relevant to the remedy or redress that is sought;
    The remedy to this abuse of the HRAct? Get rid of Section 13 for a start. Get rid of the lack of due process for another start. Get rid of the whole Star Chamber.
    Therefore, I remain puzzled why Warman is bringing this lawsuit, apart from the fact that he seems to have it in his psychological nature to try to control what everyone thinks – about other issues as well as about himself. So, it might just be due to his own neurosis – which I define as a Need To Control. There doesn’t seem to be any rational reasoning for it.
    And I don’t see any legal base for him to stand on.
    Remember, he’s sent threatening letters to the McGill student paper and so on. I think he’s got a Control Everything problem. That type of person has to control or they get phobic and anxious; they are quite vindictive (remember his goading the students to assault David Icke).

  49. Hardboiled says,
    “Hey Irwin, you ever heard of a guy named Abraham?”
    Yeah, and your point is?
    Posted @ 1:11 PM: “there are many irrational and ignorant lefties, obfuscating, denying and altogether blurring distinctions and facts on a vital topic.”
    Exhibit A

  50. ET:
    I’m not defending Warman and I am not attempting to rationalize his behavior…I’m simply saying that this is what he is counting on (or hoping the defense will believe is a credible threat).
    I remain puzzled why Warman is bringing this lawsuit, apart from the fact that he seems to have it in his psychological nature to try to control what everyone thinks.
    That is indeed the only reason he is bringing this threat. And he is counting on the defendants believing that he may have a chance of winning based on what I have already said or (more likely), that they would rather not fight and would simply cave – because it’s cheaper. Even so, he then gets to stroke his own ego by chalking it up as one in the “win” column.
    I don’t have the energy to go point-by-point over your items where you quote statutes. Suffice it to say, none of that really matters.
    Truth, fair comment, and qualified privilege will win the day here.
