41 Percent of Al Qaeda fighters in Iraq are Saudis

Published by Foehammer 11 months ago in War with Islam, Iraq, Statistics, Al Qaeda and Saudi Arabia.

I just heard the most predictable factoid: 41% of Al Qaeda fighters in Iraq are Saudi Arabians. Apparently record keeping by some Al Qaeda higher-ups has been captured by the U.S. military and careful records have revealed a detailed accounting of the social and regional makeup of the Al Qaeda operatives inside Iraq. Many of these Islamic terrorists are being recruited directly off of Islamic college campuses across the Middle East and around the world. This, again, is quite predictable.

Open Thread: It’s a busy Sunday morning for Islamic apologists

Published by Foehammer 11 months, 3 weeks ago in Islam in America, Iran, Islam, Dhimmitude, Saudi Arabia, Cartoons, Syria and Open Threads.

By now you’ve read or heard or seen the news about the victimized British school teacher in Sudan who made the innocent “mistake” of allowing her classroom to name their mascot teddy bear Muhammad. Well, as predictable as the Sun is on a Sunday morning, here comes the wave of articles bound and determined to convince us that the “real Islam” is nothing like the Islam in Sudan. Or Saudi Arabia. Or Iran. Or Syria.

Um…

Just take a gander at some of this morning’s stories that I pulled off of my (very handy) Jihad News Feeds:

Do recent events represent Islam? - Edmonton Journal

A strain of Islam the West refuses to confront - Edmonton Sun

A failure to confront radical Islam - Times Online

The truth is, as we’re beginning to realise, we’re locked into a battle for hearts and minds at the core of which lies a battle for the essence of Islam…

The “essence” of Islam? We don’t have enough terror in the world to let us know what that “essence” really is? If a neighbor walked into your home every day and struck you in the head with a shovel and said: “Allah made me do it.” — would that give you a better understanding?

Fanatics destroy image of Islam in Sudan and Saudi Arabia - Ya Libnan

Hirsi Ali’s Anti-Islamic Propaganda - Black Star News

Oh, but wait, I’ve saved the very best for last. Did you know that President George W. Bush has authorized the creation of a United States Postal Stamp that honors Islam? Did you also know that it will be released in the U.S.A. on Christmas Day, 2007? Well, now you do.

United States Stamp Honoring the Muslim religion

Yet, all hope is not lost, gentle readers. I saw this exchange live and I was cheering Brigitte Gabrielle from my living room. Even Bill O’Reilly seemed genuinely tired of the excuses for Islam:

This thread is now open to any and all discussion of your choosing, but I think I know where this one is going to head.

An Exercise in Futility and Dhimmitude

Published by Foehammer 12 months ago in News, Israel, Palestinians, Dhimmitude, Saudi Arabia, Syria and Egypt.

Today yet another so-called Mideast Peace Summit begins. It’s been a few years since a U.S. President has attempted to see something like this through, but it hasn’t been long enough that I have forgotten the previous results and so I will go out on a limb here today *coughs* and predict the outcome.

Nothing good.

Boycott Islam: UAE company makes move on AMD

Published by Foehammer 1 year ago in Islam, Saudi Arabia, Boycott Islam and UAE.

Intel’s strongest computer chip rival, AMD, has now had over 8% of its stock purchased by a company out of the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. I take especial displeasure and interest in this incident because I personally own AMD stock. While I am not yet quite ready to put AMD onto the Boycott Islam list, I am definitely close to doing so. I will be making my anger known to AMD this coming week in a couple of personal emails and if I sense that even more of AMD will be going to Muslim interests, I will be selling my stock and submitting AMD to the list.

Ladner: What it really means to be Islamophobic

Published by Foehammer 1 year ago in Opinion, Islamophobia?, Quran, Sharia, Islam in America, Iran, Islam, Western Civilization, Education, Saudi Arabia, Islamists, Syria, Pakistan and Egypt.

It is so refreshing to come across an op-ed piece from a college writer that actually aligns with my own way of thinking. This morning I am cross-posting such an editorial from over at Tufts Daily by an International Relations major named Matthew Ladner (links and emphasis added). Mr. Ladner takes to task the notion that Islamophobia is a fairly diagnosed condition and proves in just enough words that we all have a right to hold Islam suspect if we feel justly threatened by Sharia Law and the like.

Yet Another Example of Bush Dhimmitude

Published by Foehammer 1 year ago in Islam in America, U.S. Politics, Dhimmitude, Saudi Arabia and United States.

First Lady Laura Bush wearing an abaya in Saudi Arabia once again sets the tone for the Islamization of the Free World by caving in to “cultural etiquette” demands of the Saudis. The Bush family has done more damage to the future of the United States than I could have at first imagined possible. Their absolute ignorance of the very enemy they embrace is nothing short of criminal. This is the First Family of the United States I’m talking about here! If they do not set the proper example, who will?

Much more on this may be read over at LFG (hat-tip: 1389).

Freedom of Speech-in-Action: Robert Spencer at Young America’s Foundation

Published by Foehammer 1 year ago in Insight, Islam in America, Multimedia, Islam, Education, Saudi Arabia and United States.

On August 2, 2007, Robert Spencer delivered a speech to the Young America’s Foundation conference in Washington, D.C. The infamous Council on American-Islamic Relations made loud legal threats against YAF in order to attempt to intimidate the organization into not having Spencer as a guest speaker. CAIR’s efforts proved fruitless as the YAF refused to relent the right to Freedom of Speech!

YAF spokesman Jason Mattera introduces Mr. Spencer.

Pat Condell Strikes Again

Published by Foehammer 1 year, 1 month ago in Opinion, Multimedia, Eurabia, Islamic Terrorism, Islam, Dhimmitude, Saudi Arabia and Humor.

The irreverent atheist Pat Condell never ceases to amuse me with how he dissects Islam into all its bigoted parts. Thanks to Gates of Vienna for posting this latest of Condell’s videos, this one having to do with the upcoming farce called the Second Arab-European Dialogue on Human Rights and Terrorism. The point of the conference being imposed dhimmitude:

Saudi Arabia’s Human Rights Commission (HRC) will urge its counterparts in the European Union to ask their governments not to link terrorism to Islam and also to issue regulations to protect Muslims from prejudice and discrimination because of their faith.

Opening Sequence for ‘The Kingdom’ Lends Historical Insight

Published by Foehammer 1 year, 1 month ago in Multimedia, Iraq, History, Al Qaeda, 9-11, Saudi Arabia, Movies, Kuwait and United States.

From Yahoo:

The Kingdom starts with a montage sweeping through the dustry sands of Saudi Arabia, briefly detailing the kingdom, the US, and its long history with oil, from 1932 to 2001. While that may sound boring, or even yawn-worthy, the music and editing on this sequence breeds more anticipation than some action movies. Historical video and audio clips are laid out on a clear timeline, and while no brief mention of an event can do it justice, it’s a quick and excellent short primer for the movie. There’s nothing quite as distracting as trying to follow along with everything in a film, especially a documentary, when you don’t know the background.

Islam: The Class Envy Appeal

Published by Foehammer 1 year, 1 month ago in Sharia, Islam, Saudi Arabia and Boycott Islam.

Another Boycott Islam alert from Dr. Daniel Pipes via FrontPage Magazine (hat-tip: 1389):

While the outside world hardly noticed, a significant and rapidly growing amount of money is now being managed in accord with Islamic law, the Sharia. According to one study, “by the end of 2005, more than 300 institutions in over 65 jurisdictions were managing assets worth around US$700 billion to US$1 trillion in a Shariah-compatible manner.”

Could Saudi Women Lobbying for Right to Drive Open Door to Islamic Reform?

Published by Foehammer 1 year, 2 months ago in News, Islamofascism, Saudi Arabia and Islamists.

This is a story worth keeping an eye on. From the AP:

For the first time ever, a group of women in the only country that bans female drivers have formed a committee to lobby for the right to get behind the wheel, and they plan to petition King Abdullah in the next few days for the privilege.

The government is unlikely to respond because the issue remains so highly sensitive and divisive. But committee members say their petition will at least highlight what many Saudis — both men and women — consider a “stolen” right.

Boycott Saudi Arabian Airlines

Published by Foehammer 1 year, 2 months ago in Islam, Islamofascism, Saudi Arabia and Boycott Islam.

Today I’m working hard to be ready to unveil the new Anvil Wiki that will feature a brand new version of the Boycott Islam: Companies & Goods list. This list will be user-editable (thus the term wiki). However, before I do this, I wanted to bring a couple of related stories to your attention via Dr. Daniel Pipes. It seems that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, bastion of those happy Wahhabis, has been called on the carpet for some of its more notoriously bigoted habits, namely telling non-Muslims that they have no right to display their faith openly with non-Islamic religious symbols while visiting Saudi Arabia or — even as international passengers on Saudi Airlines. The Kingdom bans “Bibles, crucifixes, statues, carvings, items with religious symbols such as the Star of David.”
