Less Filling

The problem with Middle Eastern Muslims is they take things way too seriously. They never take the time to chill out and try to get along with anyone. In other words, they’re just too damned sober. Otherwise, they’d realize just how stupid they look to everyone else on Planet Earth. Selling “near-beer” in Palestine is just another example. Memo to Paleswinians: For God’s sake, people! Let us ship you a couple million cases of Guinness and let’s all kick back and relax, OK?

See? That was easy. Now that I’ve solved the Mideast crisis, I’ll start working on more difficult things like .... figuring out how to get double doses of Prozac to every Liberal Democrat in the US. I’m afraid beer won’t help them ....

Palestinian Brewery To Launch ‘Hamas’ Non-alcoholic Beer
Feb 21 9:38 PM US/Eastern
WEST BANK (BREITBART)

Like any good entrepreneur, Palestinian beermaker Nadim Khoury knew that adaptation would be key to his brewery’s survival under a government led by the Islamists of Hamas. So anticipating the hardliners’ rise to power in January’s general election, Khoury decided to develop a new product—a non-alcoholic microbrew brandished with a label that coordinates perfectly with Hamas’s trademark color.

“I figured why not have a green label so it will match?” said Khoury, who runs the Taybeh Brewing Company, the only brewery in the Palestinian territories. “All customers will notice the green for the Hamas flag.” The alcohol-free version of Taybeh beer, with a label inscribed only in Arabic and whose name means “delicious,” is to be released this summer and will target the “local market,” he said.

Non-alcoholic beer is already popular in a number of conservative Gulf Arab countries which officially ban booze sales. The lucrative market potential was highlighted by a deal four years ago which saw Egypt’s largest brewer of “near-beer,” Al-Ahram Beverages, bought by Heineken for 280 million dollars.

Khoury says he will start small with his new beer, maybe only a few hundred bottles at first, but he has big dreams for his brewing factory in the hilltop village of Taybeh, a historically Christian town of about 1,300 people near Ramallah in the West Bank.

A sense of homeland pride and the family’s ability to invest more than one million dollars spurred Nadim, who was born in Taybeh, to return after two decades in the United States in order to build the brewery shortly after the signing of the Oslo peace accords in 1993.

Now in its 11th year of business, Khoury said the brewery sells the equivalent of about 1.2 million pints per year, though its peak output was more than twice that in 2000 prior to the outbreak of the second intifada against Israeli occupation. Violence was bad for business, and the intifada brought a wave of harsher regulations in many Palestinian cities.

Khoury hasn’t been able to sell his beer in the Gaza Strip for years, since militants torched the home of one of his distribution outlets and radical Islamists effectively made selling alcohol impossible throughout the crowded territory. But Khoury hopes attitudes will change with his new non-alcoholic beer.

- More near-beer fear here ...

Soup To Nuts

Let’s say you’re moving to my town and you call me and ask if you can stay with me while you look for work. Feeling in a charitable mood, I fix up my spare bedroom and set you up in a nice warm place with all the modern conveniences.

After several weeks, you haven’t found a job after a few half-hearted attempts, mainly because you feel the jobs you are offered are beneath you. Then you start throwing temper tantrums at me and damaging the spare bedroom because you can’t find a job. Finally, you start calling me a racist because my refrigerator and pantry are full of food you refuse to eat.

Guess what? You’re about to have your ass thrown out onto the street AFTER getting the living crap beaten out of you. That’s the way we do things here in my house.

In the house of France, however, things are handled differently. That’s because frogs have no balls ....

France’s ‘Racist’ Soup Kitchens Shut Down
February 19, 2006
PARIS (UK TELEGRAPH)

The temperature on the street had dropped to minus three and the homeless stood in knots of two or three, blowing on their hands to relieve the bitter cold, as plastic bowls of steaming soupe au cochon were prepared.

“Hot wine?” asked the elegant blonde woman behind the table. But before anything could be served, the police arrived flourishing an order from the local authorities in Strasbourg to shut down the mobile soup kitchen.

The scene has been repeated all over France in recent weeks after complaints that extreme Right-wing groups have been serving “racist” food. As a result of the closures, hundreds of homeless people will go hungry. The groups giving out the soup say it is nothing more than traditional French cuisine.

Angry protesters retort, however, that they are deliberately offering ham sandwiches and soup made of pork to discriminate against Muslims and Jews who cannot eat the meat for religious reasons. The groups behind the soup kitchens are not formally linked, but they are associated with an ultra Right-wing organisation called Bloc Identitaire.

Officials say the groups are not breaking the law. In Strasbourg and Nice, however, food handouts have been banned on the grounds that they could lead to “public disorder”. In Paris, police have stopped the serving of pork soup at major stations on “administrative grounds” - because the soup kitchens have not got the correct papers - to avoid racial tensions. Fabienne Keller, the Mayor of Strasbourg, said: “Schemes with racial subtexts must be denounced.”

Chantal Spieler, the blonde serving soup in Strasbourg as president of the charity Solidarité Alsacienne, was defiant. “For as long as there are people who are hungry and cold I will disobey this unfair decision,” she said. Even Lhaj Thanmi Breze, president of the Union of Islamic Organisations in France, disagreed with closing the soup kitchens, although he regretted that they were serving pork.

Brits Crack Down

You know things have gone too far when the ever stoic Brits decide enough is bloody damned enough. Especially with a Liberal Democrat government in power. Let’s just hope they can make it stick this time. The only problem they may have is the bleeding hearts like Cherie Blair, wife of Tony Blair will scream bloody murder over this. Not to mention the barking moonbats like George Galloway.

What will probably happen is the asshat, radical Muslims will be expelled across the channel where the Fwench will coddle them for a few months before secretly sending them back to Britain on a EU passport which allows them to go anywhere in Europe. Now, if I were King Of Europe, I’d load them all on a plane and drop them out over the middle of the Sahara Desert. Some with parachutes, some without ....

Extremist Muslim Groups To Be Banned
February 16, 2006
LONDON (GUARDIAN-UK)

Extremist Muslim groups who “glorify” terrorism are likely to be banned in Britain as early as this summer after Tony Blair yesterday overcame his second backbench rebellion this week to impose new laws designed to clamp down on the celebration of terrorism in speech, placards or on the internet.

MPs voted by 327 to 279, a majority of 38, to reinstate the laws banning the glorification of terrorism, a phrase untried in the legal battle against terrorism in Europe or the US. Only 17 Labour backbenchers rebelled yesterday, 10 fewer than the last time MPs debated the issue in November.

Two of the prominent groups likely to be banned are Hizb ut-Tahrir and Omar Bakri’s al-Muhajiroun, groups already named by Tony Blair. Ministers by convention usually wait two months to implement new legislation but the home secretary, Charles Clarke, is to accelerate this timetable to ensure police and security services can use the new powers as soon as possible.

Mr Blair, relieved at navigating three perilous votes on identity cards, smoking and terror, described yesterday’s victory as “comprehensive” and “a signal of strength”. He said the passage of the law yesterday means that any repeat showing of the kind of offensive placards celebrating the July 7 bombings exhibited at the demonstration a fortnight ago in London will lead to prosecutions. Critics claim existing incitement laws already make such prosecutions possible.

Officials are expected to start work on drawing up proscription orders, to be approved by parliament, banning extremist groups who “glorify” terrorism. The legislation also allows successor groups to be banned to overcome the problem of organisations that simply go underground by changing their names. This will extend proscription for the first time in Britain beyond those organisations which are directly involved in terrorist activity.

A triumphant Mr Blair claimed the government had won the argument. He said: “The new law will mean that if people are going to start celebrating acts of terrorism or condoning people who engage in terrorism, they will be prosecuted, and if they do not come from this country, they should not be in this country. We have free speech in this country, but you cannot abuse it.”

He said yesterday’s vote represented a vital signal of strength “in circumstances where the threat is not just from the individual acts of terrorism, but the people who try to entice other people or recruit other people into doing it”.

Fowl Play

Two things related to poultry jump out at me in the story below: (1) The Angry Muslims™ burned another KFC restaurant and (2) CNN persists in being chicken-shit about the cartoons. I don’t know what Muslims have against Colonel Sanders but this is the third KFC the Pakistani peasants have burned in the last year, over varoius “perceived offenses against Islam”. Between these madmen and PETA, the Kentucky Colonel doesn’t stand a chance.

As for CNN, they issued a statement earlier that they are not showing the cartoons because they fear their reporters overseas might be placed in danger. I find that statement interesting since the purpose of terrorism is to enforce one’s will upon people by causing fear. It’s as if CNN is saying the terrorists have won. No contest.

In addition, I see where CNN had no problem showing a picture of the painting of the “Holy Virgin Mary” by British artist Chris Ofili, in which the Christian icon is portrayed covered in elephant feces and pictures of female genitalia.

I don’t know which is worse, the spineless, gutless Muslim peasants who hate our chicken or the chicken network which is even more spineless and gutless.  They’re both hypocritical about their motives and both are dishonest in their intentions. Q.E.D.

Three Die In New Pakistan Protests
Third day of violence over cartoons erupts in Pakistan
Wednesday, February 15, 20066:32 a.m. EST (11:32 GMT)
LAHORE, Pakistan (CNN)

Deadly violence erupted Wednesday across Pakistan as several thousand demonstrators stormed through the streets of Peshawar and Lahore to protest the publication of caricatures of the Muslim Prophet Mohammed, police said. At least three people died in a third day of protests and clashes with police—two in Peshawar and one in Lahore. Authorities said dozens had been injured.

There were smaller outbreaks of violence in five other Pakistani cities. According to authorities in Peshawar, protesters, many of them students, set fire to a KFC restaurant, a cinema and several other buildings, including a Daewoo bus terminal that contained 16 buses, as they rampaged through the city. A number of cars and motorcycles were also burned.

Police used tear gas to try to break up the crowd. At least two people were killed in violence in Lahore and Islamabad on Tuesday. In Lahore, protesters burned more than a dozen buildings, including the provincial assembly building, two banks, the offices of Norwegian cell phone company Telenor and a KFC. Police responded with tear gas as authorities called in Pakistani paramilitary forces to calm the disturbance.

In Islamabad, protesters attacked the Foreign Ministry building, as well as Telenor offices, police said. Protests have escalated in recent weeks, more than four months after the political cartoons depicting the Prophet Mohammed were originally published in a Danish newspaper. Some Muslims consider his depiction to be blasphemy.

CNN is not showing the negative caricatures of the likeness of the Prophet Mohammed because the network believes its role is to cover the events surrounding the publication of the cartoons while not unnecessarily adding fuel to the controversy itself.

“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”

Backlash In Denmark

This is so wrong, yet I’m tempted to say “good job”. I guess that’s the difference between me and the millions of Muslims who are outraged and burning down everything in sight because of “those cartoons” .... I resist the temptation and condemn the acts of these vandals. I know they’re angry at the Muslims and I understand why. What they don’t realize though is that the embassy-burning Muslims are mindless drones who are revved up and sent out to commit mayhem by the various Imams and rulers in the Middle East. They are tools. Nothing more.

This will only feed the flames of the subhuman rabble in Syria, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, etc. All they know is that they have burned embassies and flags, killed Christian priests, blown up Jews and so far no one has done a thing to them to make them stop. Maybe that’s the problem. Either way, desecrating graves is not the solution. A 200 kiloton nuke on the other hand ....

Vandals in Denmark Strike Muslim Graves
Monday, February 13, 2006
(WASHINGTON POST)

COPENHAGEN, Feb. 12—About 25 Muslim graves in western Denmark were vandalized late Saturday night, bringing swift condemnation from Prime Minister Anders Fogh Rasmussen as tensions simmer from a Danish newspaper’s publication last year of cartoons of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

“I strongly condemn this disgraceful act, and I deeply regret the desecration of Muslim graves,” Rasmussen said in a statement released by his office Sunday night. “I have made it clear that the Danish government condemns any expression or any action which offends people’s religious feelings.”

Ahmed Akkari, a prominent Muslim leader in Denmark, said he was “happy” that Rasmussen had issued the statement so quickly. He said that in similar cases in the past, “nothing happened.” Akkari said he believed that those who vandalized the Muslim graves in the city of Esbjerg, in Jutland, west of Copenhagen, “do not represent the Danish people’s general attitude.”

Tensions between Muslims and ethnic Danes have been extremely high in the past two weeks as the Muhammad cartoons, which other papers have reprinted, have sparked violent protests around the world. Akkari said that Rasmussen’s swift condemnation, with his promise that authorities would “bring the perpetrators to justice,” was “maybe one of the positive signs” of increased awareness between the two communities.

The Gorebot Apologizes To Arabs

Al Gore now fancies himself a modern-day Lawrence Of Arabia, it seems. Imagine the outcry if a Republican went to Saudi Arabia and sucked up to the Arabs like this. The Angry Left would be screaming “No blood for oil” and “Halliburtonbushitler” before you could wink an eye. By making wild accusations about “mistreatment” of Arabs in the US, he is only fanning the flames of anger over there. With any luck, the Saudis will keep him. Tipper would look great in a burkha. So would Al ....

Gore Laments U.S. ‘Abuses’ Against Arabs
February 12, 2006, 9:08 PM EST
JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia (AP)

Former Vice President Al Gore told a mainly Saudi audience on Sunday that the U.S. government committed “terrible abuses” against Arabs after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, and that most Americans did not support such treatment.

Gore said Arabs had been “indiscriminately rounded up” and held in “unforgivable” conditions. The former vice president said the Bush administration was playing into al-Qaida’s hands by routinely blocking Saudi visa applications.

“The thoughtless way in which visas are now handled, that is a mistake,” Gore said during the Jiddah Economic Forum. “The worst thing we can possibly do is to cut off the channels of friendship and mutual understanding between Saudi Arabia and the United States.”

Gore told the largely Saudi audience, many of them educated at U.S. universities, that Arabs in the United States had been “indiscriminately rounded up, often on minor charges of overstaying a visa or not having a green card in proper order, and held in conditions that were just unforgivable.”

“Unfortunately there have been terrible abuses and it’s wrong,” Gore said. “I do want you to know that it does not represent the desires or wishes or feelings of the majority of the citizens of my country.”

On Iran, Gore complained of “endemic hyper-corruption” among Tehran’s religious and political elite and asked Arabs to take a stand against Iran’s nuclear program. Iran says its program is for peaceful purposes but the United States and other Western countries suspect Tehran is trying to develop nuclear weapons. “Is it only for the West to say this is dangerous?” Gore asked. “We should have more people in this region saying this is dangerous.”

Blame It On Britain

We’ve been hearing about the “Arab street” when the MSM wants to let us know what the average unemployed, mental midget in Palestine thinks (when the jerks actually find time to think). Now, we hear from the “Persian street”. I was surprised to find out that your average Iranian blames everything on the “cross-eyed British”, whatever that means. They even think the Brits are manipulating the US and that America is nothing but a British puppet. Bulldog and LyndonB are hereby under suspicion of using mind-control tricks on the rest of the BMEWS members here. We just know they’re manipulating us. The Iranians told us so ...

In Iranian Eyes, the ‘Cross-Eyed British’ Are to Blame
February 10, 2006
TEHRAN (NY TIMES INTL)

The Embassy of Denmark was attacked and pelted with gasoline bombs two days in a row because of the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad published in a Danish newspaper. The Austrian Embassy was stoned and all its windows were smashed for the same reason. The United States has been dubbed the World Oppressor, and Israel has always been at the top of the enemies list.

Seyed Razi Abbassian, a seller of stamps and coins in Tehran, says his country’s memories of the decades of British influence are uniformly bad. But to understand whom Iranians distrust most of all, you need only visit Bobby Sands Street. Named after the Irish republican who died of a hunger strike in 1981, the street runs right past the British Embassy in a busy neighborhood of Tehran.

A not-too-subtle finger in the eye. “We have not seen anything other than bad things from the British since they stepped foot here 200 years ago,” said Seyed Razi Abbassian, 72, a dealer in stamps and coins at a shop across from the street from the British Embassy. “We have no good memories of the British.”

In an often bitterly divided country, Mr. Abbassian’s outlook is one that unites Iranians of many social, economic and political classes. The idea that Britain is behind much of what goes wrong in Iran is not just a conspiracy theory but also a prism through which to view events. Indeed, America — the Great Satan itself — is often portrayed as merely a hapless, muscle-bound child manipulated by smarter, craftier, more deceitful forces in London.

One European diplomat said he once received a gift from an Iranian child: a drawing of America as a marionette with Britain pulling the strings. “For 200 years we have had a political relationship with the British,” said Mansoureh Ettehadie, a history professor and writer. “They have never been innocent. There is a feeling in Iran that is widespread, that the British have not been blameless.”

As Ms. Ettehadie intimated, there are sound historical reasons for the Iranians to suspect the British. Early in the 20th century, she said, Britain tussled with France and Russia over control of the country, and Britain’s success in the south, and in dominating the rich oil fields, left a bad taste. She said, for example, that for many years, Iran did not even have its own central bank, but had to rely on the Imperial Bank to issue currency. And as every Iranian schoolchild knows, it was the British who engineered the coup that brought to power the dictatorial Reza Shah Pahlavi, who founded the hated dynasty that lasted until the Shiite revolution in 1979.

Distrust of Britain is so ingrained in the public psyche — especially among the older generation — that it has been joked about, written about and even dismissed as paranoia, but never done away with. One of the most popular novels in Iran, “My Uncle Napoleon,” is a comic love story spoofing how Iranians see a British hand in all dark deeds. The book popularized the phrase, “This is the job of the cross-eyed British,” which is often used here with a smile, and a wink. It can be said when bombs go off, or when there is really bad traffic.

Dancing Madness

Go ahead. If you really want to offend someone then do it right. If you’re a Christian, take a look at Dancing Mohammed. If, on the other hand (the right hand, of course) you’re a Muslim, you might want to take a look at Dancing Jesus. If, on the third hand, you just think the whole cartoon mess is just pure, plain silliness that grownups should not engage in, then you need Dancing Hampster. In any case, turn the sound up loud.

While you’re at it, ponder this. If a non-Muslim draws a cartoon of Mohammed he has committed no sin because he is not bound by the strictures of Islam. If a Muslim sees the cartoon, the best thing he can do is avert his eyes and go on about his business. No harm, no foul. If, however, a Muslim draws a cartoon of Mohammed then he has sinned and must be punished. Have I made it perfectly clear for everyone?

Calvin and Hobbes—And Mohammed
February 9, 2006
By Ann Coulter
(REALCLEARPOLITICS)

As my regular readers know, I’ve long been skeptical of the “Religion of Peace” moniker for Muslims—for at least 3,000 reasons right off the top of my head. I think the evidence is going my way this week. The culture editor of a newspaper in Denmark suspected writers and cartoonists were engaging in self-censorship when it came to the Religion of Peace. It was subtle things, like a Danish comedian’s statement, paraphrased by The New York Times, “that he had no problem urinating on the Bible but that he would not dare do the same to the Quran.”

So, after verifying that his life insurance premiums were paid up, the editor expressly requested cartoons of Muhammad from every cartoonist with a Danish cartoon syndicate. Out of 40 cartoonists, only 10 accepted the invitation, most of them submitting utterly neutral drawings with no political content whatsoever. But three cartoons made political points.

One showed Muhammad turning away suicide bombers from the gates of heaven, saying “Stop, stop—we ran out of virgins!”—which I believe was a commentary on Muslims’ predilection for violence. Another was a cartoon of Muhammad with horns, which I believe was a commentary on Muslims’ predilection for violence. The third showed Muhammad with a turban in the shape of a bomb, which I believe was an expression of post-industrial ennui in a secular—oops, no, wait: It was more of a commentary on Muslims’ predilection for violence.

In order to express their displeasure with the idea that Muslims are violent, thousands of Muslims around the world engaged in rioting, arson, mob savagery, flag-burning, murder and mayhem, among other peaceful acts of nonviolence. Muslims are the only people who make feminists seem laid-back.

Mad Max: Beyond Cubadome

It’s official. Mad Max Ahmadinejad is cozying up to Fidel “Jimmy Carters Best Buddy” Castro. I sense a deep disturbance in The Force as of a million voices crying out when Iran sets up missile silos in Cuba with nuclear warheads pointed at the US. If that happens, I hope Castro knows that the bright blue glow on the Southern horizon of Key West’s skies is what used to be Cuba ....

Castro invites Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to Cuba
February 8, 2006
HAVANA (Agence France-Presse)

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from President Fidel Castro, in gratitude for Cuba’s support of Iran’s nuclear program, the official Granma newspaper said on Tuesday. Ahmadinejad accepted the invitation in Tehran from Cuban Ambassador Felipe Perez Roque. During his visit, the Iranian leader will attend the September 11-16 Non-Aligned Summit in Havana, the daily said.

On Saturday in Vienna, Cuba, Venezuela and Syria voted against a resolution of the International Atomic Energy Agency to refer Iran to the UN Security Council over a nuclear program the West suspects is weapons-oriented.

The Iranian President recently publicly thanked Cuba for its “dignified and principled” position during the IAEA’s special meeting, which ended in a 27-3 vote in favour of reporting Iran to the UN council. Separately, Granma announced that Iranian Parliament President Ghulam Ali Haddad Adel has accepted an invitation to visit Cuba from Cuba’s National Assembly.
