Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Maliki has hailed a largely peaceful vote for new provincial councils across the country as a victory for all Iraqis.
Voting was extended by one hour due to a strong turnout, including among Sunni Muslims who boycotted the last polls.
The first nationwide vote in four years is being seen as a test of Iraq’s stability ahead of a general election due later this year.
At the new and improved muslim-reachy-outy-dialoguey White House website… crickets….
Another thing I find funny on this particular thread is the whole “book thing”, Mein Kampf, the Koran, Old and new Christianity etcetera. Although the dangers to the west by Islam are real and substantiated, it’s not all about religion.
At its core it’s about control, coveting others wealth and racial & cultural jealousy! The Islamic fundamentalism is a means to facilitate the ends, for most. Simply a weapon or a tool wielded by the hard core believers and the not so hard core believers alike. A little like hiding guns and bombs in a mosque and instantly crying foul using fabricated political correctness whenever the opportunity arises.
The base emotions of a billion+ immature third world peoples are controlled by a few. They are the unwitting or witless foot soldiers active in the invisible war that western liberal elites “and others” refuse to acknowledge. That doesn’t make it any less real, nor does endless pandering and analyzing of the “whys” and “how come’s”. Indecisive ignorant weenies will kill western culture eventually – they are too intelligently stupid to understand that small suicidal reality.
good ol’ knight 99….btw his old job was press agent and apologist for penitent nazis..
he feels their pain etc…
Actually I believe in “Good fences make for good neighbors”.
No one in there right mind willingly allows known murderers or thieves into their home. Why would you allow dysfunctional cultures and ideologies into your own?
You can cry all you want that every culture has something to offer a society, whatever, it also has the potential to offer far more harm. We are smart enough to trade good ideas from afar thank you, and western society’s have flourished from ours and carried everyone else on its back.
What have we been culturally enriched by from the Middle East, belly dancing and shish kabobs? Watch a movie or take a trip. Far better and cheaper I think than enduring a future of servitude to Islam, burning cities such as France, gang rapes as throughout Europe and more and more bombs. Wait until the big one hits one of our North American cities – what will they say then, we didn’t submit enough? Possibly it was just “disenfranchised youths” again, or we brought it on ourselves for not understanding their culture of peace?
Regardless it will be our fault; the only difference will be finger pointing, the right blaming the left as globalist, multicultural knobs, and the left blaming the right for not being culturally sensitive enough. Islam just spreads its wings and laughs.
Well said ET
Great posts, ET. Very well said. A lot of people seem to have convinced themselves that we are being invaded as part of some sort of carefully orchestrated Muslim plot. Ludicrous. The vast majority are simply seeking the same as every other immigrant – a better life for their families. The radicals are the problem, and they can be traced to the Muslim Brotherhood and Saudi Wahhabism. Cut off Saudi funding and the radical mosques die.
Posted by: Belisarius>> “Ludicrous.”?
It’s neither ludicrous, or a carefully orchestrated plot. It’s a messy unchecked infection that spreads naturally because it’s not treated.
Some of the big names in the Muslim world make sweeping declarations to the fact that it is an invasion, such as Omar Kadafi – why would you think they are joking?
“Cut off Saudi funding and the radical mosques die.”
Simple as that, huh, and who pray-tell is going to do that?
Of course 99.9% of immigrants coming to any first world country are trying to improve their lives. You miss the point entirely when you do not recognize the dangers to that society with what baggage they bring with them.
France didn’t have semi annual carbaques 10 years ago; Canada didn’t have protests in its streets flying terrorist flags and murdering its prime minister in effigy.
The rot of Islam creates violence and war on every border it neighbors from India to the Philippines, Africa through the Middle East. It fights every major religion and culture on earth including its own. It violently protests and murders in every European city that it’s numbers swell past an indistinguishable minority.
I’m not trying to convince you, you are in good company with millions of others that do not have the foresight to see danger from evidence that does not appear to affect you directly. I’m merely pointing out that it is not ludicrous if you pay attention to the disastrous results for those that live the nightmare of Islam in other places and empathize with them.

Yes, I think they are joking. BTW, who is Omar Kadafi?
