The Lasso of Truth

Why are we even talking about this?

I strongly suspect the furor is the whole point.

Our reaction makes that point far more eloquently than any bonfire could ever do.  The bad guys are taking notes and you can be sure they don't include brownie points for cultural sensitivity.

Maybe the judgment the pastor is looking for is not on them, but on us.

Christianity has its fair share of kooks who use offensive stunts and fiery rhetoric to get attention and extend the reach of their message, but they truly are the fringe of the faith.  That’s why people like Fred Phelps and Terry Jones can only muster crowds the size of a regional Bridge club.

One look at Islam tells us, as far as furtherance of the faith and public image goes, the fringe are the ones truly in charge.  Pick any prominent Muslim leader and quotes can be attributed to him expounding on the virtues of child marriage, giving parameters on the proper ritual for sex with goats, and calling for the righteously violent slaughter of just about everyone else.  And they’re not just talking about it, but making it happen whenever they get the chance.

From “uncovered catmeat” Hilali, to Abu Hamza, Mullah Omar, Ayatollah Khomeini or Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, none of these are marginalized fringe characters.  They are all prominent, influential figureheads of a faith which holds violent oppression and submission to god as its primary tenets.

I challenge anybody to find me Islam’s Billy Graham.  There simply isn’t one and if there were, he would either be leading prayers at a mosque in goat-hump nowhere, or in an Iranian prison.

Islam is a world-wide Jonestown phenomenon.  The radical element is the faith and your average “moderate Muslim” has more in common with the Kool-Aid guzzling kooks than with any typical Catholic or Protestant quilt-maker.

Dispensing with the delusional caveat that the radicals in Islam are just the fringe would be our first major victory in this war.  Right now, it’s the ground on which we teeter, on the verge of the abyss.

Somebody get this dude a helmet

Some of you may recall the illustrious and formidable Steve of the Cult of Pedophiles (Toronto Chapter).

Well, through the magic of Canadian talk radio, and most likely by way of the short blue bus, the glib and delusional Steve was back to doing what he does best...keepin' things classy in the name of the world's most pieceful religion, by paraphrasing Shania Twain..?

"Whose butt has your nose been under?"

I suspect there is a lot of lead paint in that mosque he preaches out of.  Hey Steve-O, have you been licking the walls? 

We're in good hands

Let me get this straight.

Two middle eastern men were carrying several cellphones taped together(?), a box cutter and 3 large knives, as well as a suspicious amount of cash and a couple of mock bombs, and you still let them get on the plane ?!?

I'm sure all the other passengers who trustingly sat on a plane with these dudes from Chicago to Amsterdam feel as though their lives were safeguarded adequately, by those in charge.

Haven't we already learned from this "we'll catch up with him at the other end" attitude of passenger screening?

Guess not.

Can we have more of the same?

My pick for the next Medal of Honor recipient...

A Gurkha soldier has been flown back to the UK after hacking the head off a dead Taliban commander with his ceremonial knife to prove the dead man’s identity.

The private, from 1st Battalion, Royal Gurkha Rifles, was involved in a fierce firefight with insurgents in the Babaji area of central Helmand Province when the incident took place earlier this month.

His unit had been told that they were seeking a ‘high value target,’ a Taliban commander, and that they must prove they had killed the right man.

The Gurkhas had intended to remove the Taliban leader’s body from the battlefield for identification purposes.

But they came under heavy fire as their tried to do so. Military sources said that in the heat of battle, the Gurkha took out his curved kukri knife and beheaded the dead insurgent.

He is understood to have removed the man’s head from the area, leaving the rest of his body on the battlefield.

This is considered a gross insult to the Muslims of Afghanistan, who bury the entire body of their dead even if parts have to be retrieved.

Maybe we should ask Daniel Pearl for his opinion on the whole consideration for the dignity of Muslims thing.

Muslim is, as stupid does

Once again proving that although they claim to have invented the zero and chess, simple concepts like irony (not to mention proper grammar) continue to evade the manic retard community of Islam...

Facebook Admins, Moderators, Mark Zuckerberg, Dustin Moskovitz, Sheryl Sandberg, and Matt Cohler;

Although you have attended the world’s best communication skills courses you have been most successful in growing great hatred and hostility between you and Muslims around the world, but seriously this time you have caused an almost unrepairable damage.

Only a few weeks after your irresponsible behavior during the Everybody Draw Mohammed Day events you most aggressively removed four of the largest Islamic Facebook Pages of total fans/likes over 2.5 million Facebook members. That happened on the morning of Thursday 8th July, 2010.

These four Facebook pages were totally peaceful and free of any hate speech, but you removed it ignoring the feelings of more than 2.5 Million Facebook Muslims and disrespecting over 1.5 Billion Muslims worldwide.

And now since that is what it had come down to you, with your irresponsibility and fake preach of freedom of speech, have left us no other choice other than permanently boycotting Facebook. And now we are giving you a 2 weeks notice – ending at midnight of 21st July, 2010 – to fulfill our demands or else we will leave Facebook for http://madina.com/.

Our demands are:

1- Reactivating the four pages that have been disabled
2- Adding a Facebook Term that illegalizes disrespecting Islamic religious symbols
3- Disabling any Facebook Page, Group, or Event that shows direct or indirect disrespect towards Islamic religious symbols

How do you say "don't let the door hit you..." in Semtex bathrobe speak?

The term "backward" just doesn't seem adequate

After all, she can be forced to marry at the age of 14 but she's too young to stone to death until she's 18.

And don't even get me started on how a gal can have an adulterous affair on her husband after he's already dead...

Ms Ashtiani was sentenced in 2006 for having an "illicit relationship" with two men, for which she has already received a public flogging of 99 lashes. She was convicted of adultery even though she was a widow at the time -- her husband was killed before the alleged affair started.

Her family claims that during the trial of the two men accused of murdering her husband, another court found her guilty of adultery with the suspects, even though no evidence was given.

These people want nukes.  Just remember that.

Context

It can go a long way to helping one understand the nature of a complex problem, and why the best-intentioned solutions can sometimes fall far short of expectations...

I didn't believe that anyone would be willing to give a shekel for a Palestinian infant."

He was wrong. Hours after the news item about Mohammed was broadcast, the hospital switchboard was jammed with callers. An Israeli Jew whose son died during his military service donated $55,000, and for the first time the Abu Mustafa family began to feel hopeful. Only then did Eldar grasp the full dramatic potential of the story. He told his editor, Tali Ben Ovadia, that he wanted to continue accompanying the family.

...Nevertheless, this idyllic situation developed into a deep crisis that led to the severance of the relations and what appeared to be the end of the filming. From an innocent conversation about religious holidays, Raida Abu Mustafa launched into a painful monologue about the culture of the shahids - the martyrs - and admitted, during the complex transplant process, that she would like to see her son perpetrate a suicide bombing attack in Jerusalem.

[..]

She also explained to Eldar exactly what she had in mind. "For us, death is a natural thing. We are not frightened of death. From the smallest infant, even smaller than Mohammed, to the oldest person, we will all sacrifice ourselves for the sake of Jerusalem. We feel we have the right to it.

Nihilists don't value life.  Not theirs and not yours.  A religion founded on Nihilism just makes them feel righteous about it.

On the streets of Canada's most "tolerant" city

While I spent the weekend on kiddies' birthday parties and answering the call of the wild, better bloggers than me were hanging around with a whole different breed of baboons.

Cat Fight!

Hey Arnie...

I bet you wish you took that free Karate training now!

;)

Mo was my least favorite Stooge

For those who were hoping my recent silence was due to an untimely demise, sorry to disappoint.  But perhaps my promotion of an entertaining little politically incorrect contest will renew the calls for my slaughter -- which I find so entertaining!

I would have submitted one myself, but we like to keep it "family friendly" here at The Lasso and I didn't want my kids seeing what that chump does to goats, and little girls...

If it walks like a Muslim and talks like a Muslim...

"There is no reason to suspect ties to terrorism" is all I've heard for the last couple of days, in response to a bombing attempt in the middle of New York -- again.  Each time they said it, what I really heard was the Obama administration and lackeys saying, to each other, "we can not have a terrorist incident on American soil during this administration".  Because, of course, it would put lie to the claim that the elevation of The Great Uniter to the highest office, spontaneously spawned a global love-in toward America and it's interests.

And thanks to a dude named Faisal, we have confirmation that another Obamanated canard is worth little more than the steaming turd it smells like...

Is it possible - just possible - that maybe people like Bloomberg and Janet Napolitano have an inherent bias against middle America? So much to that they’ve spent the last three days praying to Gaia that some fat white Viet Nam vet from Iowa was responsible for this?

And where was John Murtha that day, anyway..?

How do you tame a hornet's nest?

George Jonas on cutting the Gordian Knot...

Not remembering history is a hazard, but so is remembering it. People used to say about the Bourbons that they had learned nothing and forgotten nothing. The French and Spanish royals weren’t alone. Ideally, we should all forget what we cannot learn from, but it isn’t how our minds work. We don’t have to be Arab or Jewish, only human, to forget everything bad we did to others while remembering everything bad others did to us.

[..]

A two-state solution was president George W. Bush’s policy before Obama, and president Bill Clinton’s before Bush. In fact, it was the United Nations’ policy when it voted for the partition of Palestine in 1947, before Israel came into being, and Lord Peel’s policy when the Peel Commission made its recommendations in 1937, some 24 years before President Obama was born.

It was also the Zionist leadership’s policy, first when it said yes to Lord Peel in 1937, and then when it said yes to the UN 10 years later. The Zionists said yes unhappily because as far as they were concerned, Palestine was already partitioned in 1921, when the British gave about 80% of the promised land to the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan — but they said yes all the same.

Only the Arab side said no. It said no in 1937 to Lord Peel, then in 1947 to the United Nations. When the state of Israel ran up its flag on May 14, 1948, six Arab states — Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Saudi Arabia — said no again by attacking the Jewish state in its cradle.

For the next 62 years the world has been insisting that Jews and Palestinians split the remaining land in a two-state solution...

Crazy or just devoted?

Just try to follow this family tree...

the suspect shot and killed his wife, 19, who was pregnant, and shot five other family members. Three children are among the dead.

Relatives said the deceased victims include the suspect's 7-month-old son, Jahad Larry; the suspect's niece, 3-year-old Keleasha Larry, known by the nickname of "Pooh Pooh;" a woman believed to be the suspect's wife, 19-year-old Tawanda Thompson; and another niece of the suspect, 16-year-old Keyshai Fields.

[..]

Also wounded were Keyshai's brother, Demond Larry, 13, and the suspect's mother, Leona Larry, 57. Demond was in stable condition Wednesday afternoon. Leona was in critical condition and being kept alive on a ventilator.

Keesha Larry, the mother of two of the children – Keyshai Fields and Keleasha Larry – said she feels almost numb. Her son, Demond Larry and her mother, Leona Larry, were also injured.

[..]

The suspect's 12-year-old niece, Lala, was able to escape while shots were being fired.  She ran to a nearby gas station, wearing only a bra and underwear, and told a clerk that her uncle was chasing her and trying to kill her. The clerk immediately called police.  They arrived in minutes.

Police said Lala told them the suspect, her 32-year-old uncle, had come from Wisconsin with his wife and began shooting family members.

Lala's brother, 7-month-old Prayvion, was covered up and also survived and escaped.

It's unclear what sparked the rampage, though court records show the suspect has a lengthy criminal record dating back 15 years. He has spent time in prison on drug charges and, most recently, a battery charge.

He has a criminal record going back 15 years, but his pregnant (for the second time) wife is only 19?!  Why would a man, from a fine stable family such as this, suddenly go on a murderous rampage..?

The suspect's sister, Letisha Larry of Wisconsin, said that, while her brother has no diagnosed mental illness, he started acting strangely recently. She said her brother had been saying Allah was telling him to kill people for the past week.

"He just flipped out. He said the Muslim in some book he always carried around and read said that yeah ... in the book he said he must kill someone, so he killed his family," Letisha Larry said. "He was like just saying little weird little stuff, talking about about he an angel and we demons -- there's demons in the house."

She says while her brother was behind bars in Wisconsin, he had become a Muslim. Sources say he told them he had been hearing voices that told him to kill his family. Sources also say he had planned on killing more people in the house, but had run out of bullets.

The perfect family man.

It's a safe bet they weren't Catholic...

A 13-year-old Yemeni girl died of internal injuries four days after a family-arranged marriage to a man almost twice her age, a human rights group said.

[..]

A medical report from al-Thawra hospital said she suffered a tear to her genitals and severe bleeding.

But you'd have to go two thirds of the way through the article to see the word Islam make an appearance...

Legislation that would make it illegal for those under the age of 17 to marry is in serious peril after strong opposition from some of Yemen's most influential Islamic leaders.

Then again, the propensity for these otherwise eligible bachelors to prefer groping at the genitals of little girls, seems to be less rooted in the religion which compels them to do so, in order to be more Islamic.  It would seem the real culprit is, of course, poverty...

The group said that was a common arrangement in the deeply impoverished country.

Yemen's gripping poverty plays a role in hindering efforts to stamp out the practice, as poor families find themselves unable to say no to bride-prices in the hundreds of dollars for their daughters.

If only my parents had known, all those times we scrimped to get by, all they had to do was drop me on Omar's doorstep and cash in. 

Kitty holds a contest

OK while were waiting let's have some fun - How would Denise Balkissoon - Ace Reporter for the Toronto Star handle this story? Gimme your best headline in the comments...

To which I say, it's the Toronto Star...what headline?

The ideal family vacation

...For Mikey and Me, and our 6 kiddies.

;)

What would The Colonel think?

Once he figured out what the hell "halal" is, of course...

A diner was left furious after a KFC restaurant refused to sell him a bacon burger - because it wasn’t halal.

Alan Phillips was told the restaurant was no longer selling his favourite ‘Big Daddy’ burger, which contains a chicken burger with bacon, cheese and salad, because it had decided to sell only halal food.

The Burton-on-Trent branch is one of the 86 out of 750 British KFC restaurants which is now selling nothing other than halal meat.
 
The company has taken the burger off the menu because Islamic dietary law forbids Muslims to eat anything which has been prepared on the same premises as pork, which is itself strictly forbidden.

Islam is a mental illness

And apparently, it's now contagious...

Colleen LaRose, according to a US court indictment, posted messages online under the name Jihad Jane, expressing her desire to participate in jihad, or holy war.

Arrested in October 2009, Ms LaRose had exchanged emails over 15 months to recruit fighters for "violent jihad".

[..]

Having left the US in August, by the end of September, she had allegedly written online that it would be "an honour & great pleasure to die or kill for" her intended spouse, the indictment said.
 
Ms LaRose's boyfriend said he never saw her display any interest in the Muslim veil
"Only death will stop me here that I am so close to the target!" she is accused of writing.

Is she being charged with sedition and treason, too?  Somehow I doubt it but she should be.

On the bulletin board of a local youth counselling centre:

Most successful indoctrination starts on the young and impressionable.  The best way is to make friends with vulnerable, unguarded children and slowly seed their minds with radical ideas under the auspices of friendship and guidance.  Most pedophiles know the best way to take advantage of children, is to be their friend and offer them goodies.

Or FREE self defense training.

Send your children and we'll train them for battle, er, to protect themselves.

"Made possible by: Citizenship and Immigration Canada"  Nice touch.  My tax dollars, hard at work, teaching troubled youth how to kill people with their bare hands -- Palestinian style.

MORE:   BCF offers up the backgroundon the Palestine House I was too lazy to go digging around for.  Fanks!

Predictable hypocrisy uperdate:  The Palestine House's own website has a document criticizing the Jewish Defense League, in which this quote can be found, with no hint of irony...

The JDL frequently organizes martial arts classes for their members, which makes them even more dangerous.

Fanks again!

They picked on our airplanes first...

#15, aside from being grotesquely excessive (as is typical in that part of the world), gets my hearty nomination for target-rich environment...

  Among the many features that make this airport stand out is a mosque large enough to take in thousands of people. Also notable, though not entirely uncommon in Saudi Arabia, is the Royal Terminal, which is designed to service the Royal Family and is outfitted with an elegant reception hall and a pressroom.

The House that Tolerance Built

This weekend, while I was busy sprinkling Valentine's cupcakes with kiddies, real bloggers were donning hip waders and slogging into the festering slop pit of the Toronto Islamic community (and their version of "outreach").

Hey Arnie...put on a burqa next time.  Apparently it contravenes Islamic law to search under those ;)

Making it pay for you

I get the feeling these days, that the jihadis of Gitmoare on pace to launch their own thespian academy, what with all the manufactured grief and over-the-top melodramatics being catalogued through their human rights lawyers.

While at least one enterprising jihadi is making the dream a reality, passing off the fiction as theatrical documentary.

But I can't help but wonder if this isn't just a little small time for the world-wide movement.  After all, Maher Arar made $10 million bucks with production, as will Omar Khadr, if the bleeding hearts get their way.

How about suggestions then?

Sayeth the Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism...

Terrorists are not 100-feet tall.

'Tis true.  But they are invariably Muslim.  how about we just start with that for now, hmmm?

Who approved this?!

I definitely think whoever decided to inscribe American military gun sights with Bible verse codes should be fired immediately!

If he had half a brain, he'd ensure that all weapons be oiled with pork fat, instead. Sheesh!  What, are you new?!

This is how the enlightened ones do it

And I am left to wonder if this girl could have avoided all this trouble, if she had used the phone as a detonator, instead.

Because apparently, that's ok where they come from.

I have a suggestion

Since they don't like us using the word "Allah", we can make up a few nicknames to use instead.  For example, we could call him a "goat-humping pedophile", or maybe "violent retard"...

That way they can have Allah all to themselves.

We're all about peaceful compromises here, at The Lasso.

And in the spirit of plentiful diversity, please feel free to offer more suggestions in the comments...

Faster Please!

Am I losing my mind? Could it really be the French showing some iron-clad balls, these days..?

Women who wear Islamic veils in public will be liable to a fine of more than £700 under strict new laws being formulated in France.

The amount could be doubled for Muslim men who force their wives or other female members of their family to cover their faces.

Of course, some of the real gold can be found in the comments...

If this rule actually becomes law, then me and my family will move to UK. I am not prepared to live in a country that dictates what clothes i wear !
- Nasbeen, Paris,France, 07/1/2010 12:03

I've got a better idea, why don't you move to Afganistan instead.

- norm, Newcastle upon Tyne, 07/1/2010

Amen, norm.  Amen.

JUST. NOT. GETTING. IT.

Not that I'm a big fan of the idea of installing scanners at the airport, but this initiative seems somehow self-defeating...

Travellers under 18 will be exempt from Canada's peek-a-boo body scanners amid international fears that the resulting images would amount to child pornography.

because gawd knows, terrorists would never resort to using a child as a vessel for a bomb.

If we were really serious about security, we would call up a few Israelis to come over and show us how it's done.  After all, when was the last time one of their planes was the subject of a breaking news report?

My friends went to a crazies convention

...and all I got was some lousy pictures to share and mock ;)

This one is down with Zionist Barbarism...hey, me too!

 

This one is just inspirational, for me...

After all, Muslim babies are bred to become Muslim murderers.  It's curious that pasty white Canadian communists care more about Gazan babies, than the babies' mothers do.  Then again, since when do Communists care about babies, at all?

It's all very confusing...

The only good thing to come out of 9/11...

...was 19 dead Muslims.

And when the followers of the world's most violent religion wonder why they keep getting felt up at the airport, they will have only to look to a threadbare pair of cotton briefs, for the answer.
