[Note: I originally wrote the following article on June 5, 2006, but in light of the fact that it was read by only a handful of visitors and being quite applicable to the mood surrounding the recent ‘Jihad Doctors’ attack in the UK, I’m resurrecting it.]
The words of a Muslim in Canada gave me a terribly simple and effective idea this morning. First the quote:
The charges allege that the men knowingly participated in a terrorist group and either received or provided terrorist training in Toronto, nearby Mississauga, Fort Erie — a border town across from Buffalo, N.Y. — and Ramara Township, located on the shores of Lake Simcoe in central Ontario’s cottage country.
A federal official said he expects some serious reflection in government and security circles about how young people raised in Canada could allegedly conspire to commit such crimes.
“Most of them went through the school system here. They’re not just off the plane. So there will be some questioning going on,” the official said.
“The big issue is going to be societal, that’s clear.”…
Farhad Oryakhim, 17, an employee at an east-end shop, said he’s concerned about how Muslims in Canada are going to be treated in the wake of the arrests.
“It’s going to be a pretty hard time now,” Oryakhim said. “After this incident, people are going to look at the Muslims from a dangerous view.”
Oryakhim said he fears that non-Muslim customers will stop patronizing businesses in the area that are run by Muslims.
“It’s going to hurt our businesses,” he said. “Our life.”
Farhad has some idea of what the future holds.
And he has unwittingly given us the solution to the Muslim presence in our neighborhoods and schools and businesses: boycott them.
Simple and effective. Every single one of us can do it. Just refuse to patronize any establishment that is run or owned by Muslims, from gas stations to convenience stores, dry cleaners to restaurants to specialty grocery stores and the like. You know the signs to look for by now and most people are intelligent enough to differentiate between a peaceful Hindu and a Muslim. But, if you need a clue, just look for the women. If you can’t find any or the ones that you do find are veiled or hooded, well, then you’re probably dealing with Muslims. There’s an even easier way to know for sure though — and that’s just locate your local mosques and remember a few faces.
Prejudice in action? Of course. But have we not been given not only a right but an obligation to exercise such prejudice when it is in the interests of our future and our safety and the sanctity of our nations? It’s either this or violence. So, what choice have we been given?
We all have a basic right to decide where we put our money, and if we collectively refuse to give any of it to the Muslim community then that community will eventually cease to exist OR it will be forced to reform itself and assimilate to our societies. So, here is the perfect chance for the so-called “moderate” Muslims to do something about their own backyards and not just give us all lip-service.
It’s either time for Muslims to change or to realize that they are no longer welcome and that they must move to greener pastures.
Boycott Islam.
ADDENDUM: Shortly after this article hit the frontpage of the Anvil, it was submitted by a reader to Digg.com, or it was “Dugg” according to standard Net vernacular. About one day later that submission was forcibly removed from Digg by the editors of that site without a word to me or a response to my subsequent complaints, the submitter’s account was banned and all capacity for Digging articles from Foehammer’s Anvil revoked. Think perhaps this story was only “buried” and not completely erradicated from Digg.com along with over 100 comments there? Search for it yourself and be sure to click Include Buried Stories option.

Thanks for the heads-up. I just emailed the Digg team and made a kindly inquiry as to why they have taken such action. Let’s see what sort of response I get before I turn green with muscles and start breaking things all over the Blogosphere.
Now get THIS - the entire Foehammer website has been banned from Digg.
I tried to digg a story from this blog, with Digg url:
digg.com/submit?phase=2&url=h...s-killing-american-soldiers.html
Then I was greeted with a message saying that the entire Foehammer.net domain has been froze out!
I take exception with the notion you state in your article that this is prejudice. It would be prejudice if people did this prior to knowing what islam/muslims were all about. Since after the last few years anybody with two brain cells should be able to see what the goals of islam are, this isn’t prejudice.
Meh,
You may want to research the reason why Thomas Jefferson had a copy of the qu’ran, but I do love to hear you guys whine. People like you change your tune with each passing terrorist attack. It’s a small percentage, but those small amounts add up over time, so how long before you have to eat your words.
Damn! I did not have time to Digg this today, And now the rotten dhimmi bastards at Digg have it buried or worse!
Because I can not find it! I used the link you have given Foehammer.
@heroyalwhyness:
Many thanks for the terror free oil tip. There’s a Hess station right on my way to work.
Now I’ll be in a position to make “Americans R Pussies” happier, when I gas up my SUV (a modest little Honda that gets much better mileage than my Pontiac Sunfire did).
It’s not just an SUV–It’s a future militia troop transport! LOL
Interesting link . . .thanks. Note that at this hour the first headline at that link reads CAIR Attacks SANE and Mapping Shari’a in America
It would be useful if references to CAIR would be updated to read as “CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in Hamas funding case” as detailed at JW here:
http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/016754.php
Similarly, this Drudge/Breitbart story
Columnist Under Fire for Anti-Islam Comments should be updated to reflect same.
This site will prove to be of great use as time goes on:

Sir Henry Morgan . . . bravo!
Foehammer, I’d like to say I’ve been boycotting muslim owned businesses, but that wouldn’t be accurate. Having used the islamicfinder link over the years, I noted that there wasn’t a business listed that I would have patronized anyway.
I use this link (http://www.terrorfreeoil.org/) to help identify where individual fuel stations obtain their supplies and fill my tank accordingly.
There are a growing number of businesses in my area that clearly have ME operators yet may be Christian or Jewish of ME decent. Admittedly, I would not inquire about their individual belief system, but would note to avoid it if any employees or loyal patrons wear the hijab. One quick stop ( 7/11 type, Krauzers, Dairy Mart,) store in my area recently changed ownership and the establishment clearly went from a ‘chain store’ appearance with lots of print images on ads to a more subdued look. The staff and lack of art in the window ads. . .makes one go hmmmmm hence, I don’t patronize it.
Any other suggestions on how to identify which businesses to avoid?
To those who prefer to rely on ‘wishful thinking’ about this ideology, no one is putting a gun to your head (or blade to your throat) convincing you to boycott any business or even patronize this site.
When equal reciprocity is confirmed in muhammedan communities, perhaps then you’ll convince me. History dictates I should not hold my breath.
Yes, the “Philistines” have definitely attempted to scale the walls today! LOL.
@Dee: It’s been quite a few years since I read Thoreau, but you are indeed correct. I’ll have to dig up that Essay, I know I have a collection of his writings in my library somewhere.
Could it be that this is why I had “Peacefully” in the title of my article? Amazingly, the thought-police that want to paint Good as Evil and Evil as Good never once seemed to take note of that fact.
Both Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. were influenced by Henry David Thoreau’s (July 12, 1817 – May 6, 1862; American author, naturalist, transcendentalist, tax resister, development critic, and philosopher) Essay on Civil Disobedience.
Civil disobedience/boycott not fascist - it is a peaceful way of facing a powerful, unjust enemy!
No problems, FH, glad to lend a hand. All these trolls will grasp at anything they can use to discredit or distract. Some go for easy methods “you don’t know what you are talking about/don’t understand” others go for bigger themes “you are wasting time/ nothing will change/let them be/work within the system. With practice you can pick out the muslim’s who pretend to be Americans, Jews and US Military Veterans. I didn’t see it tonight but on most blogs you will notice someone claiming to have lost a relative or had one mangled (sympathy theme) in an unjust/illegal or misguided war/invasion/occupation (none of these are technically correct). In the end, I answer them not because I care about their agenda. I answer them for the lurker who is attempting to understand the fight. Every time you see a big terror attack or attempt you will see the same themes “warning against backlash/not all Muslims are bad/we reject terror” the last one is humorous as it only occurs briefly and only after an event. Reality is no Muslim group or individual is powerful enough to make a bit of difference and until one can prove mohammad was wrong, nothing will change. Therefore, my lurking on the fence types. Do not take my word for it, do some research look back at past events and take notice of future events. Next, check the blogs and you will see the apologists use the same tired and disproved arguments over and over again. Islam has always spread by the sword and was successful only because people were unaware. We have instant global communication now and the word is spreading. The backlash has started already, this blog and hundreds of others are proof. We are telling you things the MSM will not, bloggers have paid with blood and still the numbers grow. We don’t need suicide bombers and murderous riots to intimidate muslims. We will use education and exposure. If muslims want to worship a pedophile prophet or the new prophet wannabee in Iran (Ackmynadsareinajar sees visions and personally knows the mahdi) go right ahead just do it at home and leave us be. So there it is I just saved you weeks of work, enjoy and spread the word.
Foehammer…Everytime I come here you are fighting off Philistines.
Your detractors got to be some of the dumbest, under-educated, stinkies I have read in a while. Not one of them knows squat about Islam. Yet they attempt to defend it. ‘Islam’ means peace’, as stated above, shows the posters abysmal knowledge on the subject.
I have included this writing from Imam Bukhari. As a ‘hint’ of the character of Islam.
“Jihad is holy fighting in Allah’s Cause with full force of numbers and weaponry. It is given the utmost importance in Islam and is one of its pillars. By Jihad Islam is established, Allah’s Word is made superior (which means only Allah has the right to be worshiped), and Islam is propagated. By abandoning Jihad Islam is destroyed and Muslims fall into an inferior position; their honor is lost, their lands are stolen, their rule and authority vanish. Jihad is an obligatory duty in Islam on every Muslim. He who tries to escape from this duty, or does not fulfill this duty, dies as a hypocrite.”
For the unwashed portion of Foehammers comment section, please pay special attention to the last two sentences. Especially the words ‘obligatory’, and every’.
See if your liberal ‘opinions’ can do anything with that…
@Americans R Pussies:
Maybe, if we humble American citizens were in power, we might do exactly what you suggest. However, we are not. Our so-called representatives in Congress, the Senate, and the White House are running (maybe ruining) the show, insofar as “Foreign Policy” goes.
Americans are not pussies, sweetie. Many American citizens are arming themselves, and laying in provisions. Other Americans are taking the time, in some cases, to learn how to clean, handle, and shoot their first firearms. At this point, that is all we can do, so that’s what we’re doing. When the tsunami breaks, and the fight comes to America’s streets, we’ll be ready, by the grace of God.
I don’t believe I know anyone who is going to allow America to become a land of Shari’a law. Not even a part of the country. Not one neighborhood, not so much as one street.
Nor are our troops pussies, if that’s what you meant. Our Commander in Chief may be a black hole, sucking all the light out of our country, but he still calls the shots, and our troops obey. American troops are not American citizens. They have more responsibilities and fewer rights, and they have to work within those boundaries. They aren’t pussies, love. They’re disciplined. There’s a big difference.
