A much needed walk on the lighter side. Guinness World Records Some 450 high school students play Twister on 180 mats in what they hope will set a world record for the largest Twister game board Sunday, Oct. 7, 2007. The mats formed a Twister board measuring 4,699 square feet. The current Twister board record was set in April 2005 in the Netherlands, at 2,453 square feet. The students won’t know for sure until officials at Guinness World Records review a video of the attempt. (Jay Pickthorn, The Forum/AP Photo) Source.

Personal Jihadist Houssein Zorkot’s jig is up. Dearborn Police Not Buying Jihadist Hussein Zorkot’s Excuse Tuesday, 16 October 2007 DEARBORN, Mich.(Crime Library) — Houssein Zorkot just wanted people to think he was tough. That’s why he donned dark clothing, painted his face black, and crept through the shadows of Hemlock Park carrying a loaded AK-47 assault rifle. At least that’s what he told police detectives and FBI agents hours after his Sept. 8 arrest, according to a source familiar with the investigation. According to the source, who asked not to be identified, Hussein Zorkot, 26, claimed his stepmother had been spreading rumors about him throughout Dearborn’s large Arab population, rumors that hindered his ability to find a wife. Although Hussein Zorkot refused to give investigators any specifics about the rumors, the source said, they may have involved allegations that he is a homosexual. “That’s the worst thing you can be in the Ar

Lars Vilks Stands Defiant
2007-10-17 16:39:57
Lars Vilks original piece. Artist defiantly draws Prophet Mohammed By Paula Newton CNN HOGANAS, Sweden (CNN) — Swedish artist Lars Vilks says all he’s doing is taking a stand in the name of artistic expression. But because of that stand, on this afternoon he’s lying low — on the ground, in fact — looking for bombs under his car. Vilks, who has been a controversial artist for more than three decades in Sweden, says his drawing was a calculated move, and he wanted it to elicit a reaction. That’s a way of expressing things. If you don’t like it, don’t look at it. And if you look at it, don’t take it too seriously. No harm done, really,” he says. When it’s suggested that might prove an arrogant — if not insulting — way to engage Muslims, he is unrelenting, even defiant. “No one actually loves the truth, but someone has to say it,” he says. One Swedish Muslim woman who lives just an hour-and-a

Don’t take Flight 93 to Mecca - “A Pig is a Pig”
2007-10-24 09:01:36
&ldquo ;A pig is a pig.&rdquo ; When Tom Burnett Sr. was helping to pick a memorial to Flight 93, he objected vehemently to the planting of a huge Islamic shaped crescent on the crash site. The Project asked if he would be okay with the Crescent of Embrace design if they didn’t call it a crescent. He said no way: What the hell? You change words. A pig is a pig! No doubt about that. “How about if we don’t CALL it a crescent?” (Click pic for larger image) See that Memorial Plaza that is situated roughly in the position of the star on an Islamic crescent and star flag? It marks the crash site. It doesn’t have to be CALLED an Islamic star for this placement as the star on an Islamic flag to be inappropriate.

Islamo-Facisim Awareness & Free Speech
2007-10-24 00:50:31
The Importance of Islamo-Fascism Week Editorial on Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week Demonstrates How Fear Can Stifle Free Speech BY Andrew Quinio Contributing Writer Tuesday, October 23, 2007 On October 16, the Daily Cal printed an editorial condemning Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week (“Where’s The Awareness?”). It succeeded only in condemning a simplified caricature of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, and not the actual set of events that the Berkeley College Republicans organized. In order to prove that any discussion of Radical Islam must surrender to political correctness, the Daily Cal relied on its own dishonest rendition of Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, since the event had yet to occur. We have dedicated Oct. 22 through 26 to raising awareness of Islamo-Fascism. The week starts with a special lecture from Nonie Darwish, author of “Now they Call Me Infidel: Why I Renounced Jihad for America, Israel and the War on Terror.” Darwish will reflect on her life as the daughter of a

Reid reviving ‘amnesty’ for illegals ‘DREAM’ grant of legality to millions on fast track for vote tomorrow “In many ways this bill is worse than Bush-Kennedy because this is blatant deception on the part of the Senate to get a massive amnesty passed,” asserted Steve Elliott, president of Grassfire.org. Some of the provisions of the plan, called DREAM for Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors, include: * Conditional legal status for any illegal alien who claims to have arrived in the U.S. prior to age 16. * Any illegal alien can apply for the program. * Those who gain legal status then can sponsor any family members, allowing additional millions to access the program. * There would be a ban on deportation for anyone who applies. * Illegals would be granted taxpayer-funded in-state tuition rates for college.

Crying Over Spilt Milk

Debbie Almontaser (real name ‘Dhabah’ Almontaser) former principle of the Khalil Gibran International Academy, is crying over and threatening to sue. DEB LOSES KHALIL APPEAL October 19, 2007 — An educator who helped found the city’s first Arabic-themed public school and resigned as its principal after defending the use of “intifada” on a T-shirt will not be rehired, school officials said yesterday. Debbie Almontaser will not be renamed principal of the Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn, said David Cantor, a spokesman for Schools Chancellor Joel Klein. Cantor said that in August, “she resigned to ensure the stability of the school. The chancellor agreed with her decision . . . and now considers the matter closed.” Almontaser had applied for the job along with 24 others before the application deadline on Tuesday at 5 p.m. The former principal, a Muslim of Yemeni descent, held a news conference Tuesday, saying she was forced o

A press release posted on the the ‘Islamic Thinkers Society’ website, declares that “InshAllahShaheed” aint no friend of theirs. But..but…but…but..but what about Michael Moss’ NY Times article?? He also befriended members of the Islamic Thinkers Society, a tiny group that promotes radical, nonviolent Islam by leafleting in Times Square and Jackson Heights, Queens. An interesting turn of events indeed. One of y’all is fibbing. Talk amongst yourselves and sort things out will you? Now to be clear, the Moss article does not specifically quote ‘inshallahshaheed’ himself, claiming he was in tight with the ‘Islamic Thinkers Society’. But it had to come from somewhere. Did Moss pull it out of…thin air, or did inshallahshaheed misrepresent himself??. Was he desperate for some real world islamic brotherhood cred? Maybe the ‘Islamic thinkers Society’ is full of crap, that could be a possibility too. I

Have you ever noticed the ticker on certain Muslim and left leaning sites, displaying the supposed total of all Iraqi deaths due to US invasion? I’m curious if they count all deaths. The Muslim on Muslim deaths, and the civilian deaths caused by terrorists acts etc. Meaning if they do. Then basically all deaths are caused by the US involvement in Iraq.

The proverbial “Pandora ’s Box” has been opened. Catapulting us to hell in a hand basket. Unless we stop it! To clarify, in this article I will be addressing the pushing of homosexual indoctrination and sexualization of children. In the BBC news article Lithuanian mayor bans gay rally , I came across this interesting bit of news. Education law The Lithuanian parliament, the Seimas, is currently debating proposed legislation that would ban what they call the “propagation of homosexuality” to minors. Such a move would ban literature or films in schools that were about homosexual relationships. A representative from the European Commission said these proposals would be contradictory to EU anti-discrimination legislation, not to mention the values of the European Union. But Rima Baskine, head of the Seimas Commission for Family and Child Affairs emphasized that the proposed law in no way contradicts anti-discrimination measures as the bill is not intended

Spencer at Counterjihad Summit , Brussels, October 18, 2007 Islamophobia and the Islamist Scarecrow @ American Thinker By Magdi Khalil The wave of terror that was unleashed on the world in the past few decades is widely referred to as “Islamic terrorism” (or Islamist terrorism); the term is an apt description of the facts, and has a strong credibility among academicians, in the international media and with the ordinary citizen all over the world, with the exception of the Muslim countries. In return, The Muslim world, and specifically the Muslims of the West, introduced defensive terms such as “Islamophobia”, which has become the current favorite for dozens of Islamic organizations in the West. The term “phobia” denotes an unreasonable, perhaps imaginary fear, one that is a mental disorder. The new term “Islamolphobia” has served those organizations well in their fervent promotion of two false concepts: * First, that the legitimate

10,000 Turks Hit Brussels Streets Tomorrow
2007-10-27 00:11:32
Brussels Is to Learn the Power of the Turks @ The Brussels Journal Can I suggest that you do not go to the Brussels neighbourhoods of St Joost or Schaarbeek tomorrow? This is for the simple reason that, from information I have received from local shopkeepers and cafe owners there is a major demonstration planned for the morning. Not only is the Turkish community planning to put upwards of 10,000 people on the streets, but so is the local Kurdish community. Both of these planned demonstrations have been banned by the police, but in the light of the rioting here over the last week, I wouldn’t put much confidence in the manifestation not going ahead. This picture should give you an idea of how the area is getting pretty tense. The flags are not for fun, and the streets are oddly quiet. Read the rest!

Hair of the Dog

Che Guevara’s hair sold at US auction for A$130,000 A lock of revolutionary Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara’s hair sits next to photos of Guevara’s dead body and fingerprints taken after his death at Heritage Auction Galleries in Dallas,Texas. Picture: Reuters A lock of socialist revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevara’s hair and related items were auctioned today for the capitalist sum of $US119,500 ($A131,800). The buyer in Dallas was a Houston-area bookstore owner. The curious collection had belonged to Gustavo Villoldo, 71, a former CIA operative who helped hunt Guevara down in the jungles of Bolivia in 1967 and who claims he cut off the lock before burying the guerrilla fighter with two of his comrades. There was media speculation that Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, a leftist who greatly admires the iconic Guevara, would bid for the items. In the end, it went to Houston-based Bill Butler. “Butler … is thrilled to own items from Ch


Online Al-Qaida Sympathizers Lash Out at Al-Jazeera
2007-10-26 01:12:38
Don’t shoot the messenger! LMAO Al-Qaida takes issue with Al-Jazeera CAIRO, Egypt - Al-Qaida sympathizers have unleashed a torrent of anger against Al-Jazeera television, accusing it of misrepresenting Osama bin Laden’s latest audiotape by airing excerpts in which he criticizes mistakes by insurgents in Iraq. Users of a leading Islamic militant Web forum posted thousands of insults against the pan-Arab station for focusing on excerpts in which bin Laden criticizes insurgents, including his followers. Analysts said the reaction highlighted militants’ surprise at bin Laden’s words, and their dismay at the deep divisions among al-Qaida and other Iraqi militants that he appeared to be trying to heal. “It’s not about Al-Jazeera, it’s about their shock from bin Laden,” said Diaa Rashwan, an Egyptian expert on Islamic militant groups. “For the first time, bin Laden, who used to be the spiritual leader who gives guidance, became a critic o

‘Wicked Witch of the West’

Just in time for Halloween! The premier &lsquo ;Wicked Witch of the West’ is… …melting! Muhahahahaha! Or rather her approval rating that is… Voters’ views of Pelosi, Congress have dimmed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s own party is turning on her, apparently because of a perception among California Democrats that she has not done enough to shake up the status quo in Washington, D.C., according to a Field Poll released Friday. Congress overall is doing even worse with California voters, with an approval rating sagging to 30 percent or below for only the seventh time in the past 15 years, the poll of 1,201 registered voters found. Both Pelosi, the San Francisco Democrat who became speaker this year, and Congress as a whole have fallen short of voter expectations since taking over both houses, poll director Mark DiCamillo said. “I think the reason for her decline and the low ratings Congress is getting is that voters here are not seeing any change


Stop the Flight 93 Memorial - Lying About the 44 Blocks
2007-10-31 09:39:52
Lying about the 44 blocks When Tom Burnett Sr. came out against the Flight 93 Memorial , the press asked architect Paul Murdoch if there were really going to be 44 inscribed translucent blocks emplaced along the flight path (equaling the number of passengers, crew, AND terrorists). Murdoch acknowledged 43 of the blocks, but denied knowing about a 44th: [T]here are 40 inscribed marble panels listing the names of the passengers and crew at the gateway to the Sacred Ground, where their remains still rest. There is then an opening in the wall, Mr. Murdoch said, and three additional panels, which would include the date, Sept. 11, 2001. “Where the other one is being fabricated, I don’t know,” he said. Yes he does. Paul Murdoch is fully aware of the large dedicatory glass block at the end of the Entry Portal Walkway: Man and child stand in front of the 44th block, which forms the railing at the end of the Entry Portal Walkway.

The Violent Oppression of Woman in Islam “Social progress can be measured by the social position of the female sex” - Karl Marx Warning: The following video is not safe for work. It is NOT safe to watch with children. It contains some violent graphic images, that are hard to view. BUT that should NOT stop this information from being spread. It is time everyone has been educated on the subjection of females in the Islamic world. The Muslim community and their apologists, whitewash this subject matter as a ‘cultural’ way of life, not part of Islam. I ask, why then are these barbaric acts only performed within the Muslim world??? That common denominator exposes the TRUTH. And the fact that the western world is being lied to. They do not want the truth to be known. They are afraid of exposure. Their agenda would then be threatened. Which makes all the more important that we continue to speak out! “There is no Freedom of Religion without Freedom from Religion.


2004 Madrid Train Bombers Convicted
2007-11-06 19:14:04
Closing the Case A Spanish court has sentenced 21 people to jail terms for the 2004 Madrid train bombings. Now for the political fallout. Victor Lerena/AFP-Getty Images With one blow, a three-judge panel at the Spanish High Court today convicted 21 people for the 2004 terror attacks on its commuter trains and undermined a three-year-old political conspiracy theory about the Al Qaeda-inspired violence. After a two-year investigation and a nearly five-month-long trial that included about 750 witnesses, the court ruled unanimously to sentence 21 of the 29 defendants to prison terms ranging from three to 40,000 years for various counts of homicide, attempted homicide, belonging to and collaboration with a terrorist group, falsifying documents and trafficking in explosives. The largest prison terms went to Moroccans Jamal Zougam and Othman el Gnaoui and Spaniard Emilio Suárez Trashorras. Zougam and El Gnaoui received nearly 40,000 years in prison for the 191 people killed and 1,800 injur
