Islamic terrorism

Muslim tolerance and the religion of peace are showing their true colours today with a Pakistani minister calling for the death of the maker of the crappy Youtube video about Muhammad:

A Pakistani minister offered US$100,000 (NZ$120,641) on Saturday to anyone who kills the maker of an online video which insults Islam, as sporadic protests rumbled on across parts of the Muslim world.

“I announce today that this blasphemer, this sinner who has spoken nonsense about the holy Prophet, anyone who murders him, I will reward him with $100,000,” Railways Minister Ghulam Ahmad Bilour told a news conference, to applause.

“I invite the Taliban brothers and the al Qaeda brothers to join me in this blessed mission.”

A spokesman for Pakistan’s prime minister said the government disassociated itself from the minister’s statement.

Michael Tomasky writes at The Daily Beast about the Bush years and the implications of 9/11. I love his summation about why the USA hasn;t been struck again with a terror attack:

Rand Paul is making a stand for a loyal ally:

Sen. Rand Paul (R., Ky.) said he has secured the right for an up-or-down vote on his proposal to strip all U.S. aid to Pakistan in protest of the harsh prison sentence leveled against the doctor who helped the CIA track Osama bin Laden.

Shakil Afridi, a Pakistani doctor who aided the CIA’s efforts by using the cover of his vaccination program to knock on the door of bin Laden’s compound in Pakistan, was sentenced to 33 years in jail in May. Dr. Afridi was formally accused of aiding militant groups, but his arrest and prosecution was widely seen as a result of the assistance he provided to the U.S.

Congress is already considering legislation to strip $33 million in aid to Pakistan, in protest of the sentence. But Sen. Paul said those efforts are not dramatic enough to pressure Islamabad. Sen. Paul’s bill would cut off aid to Pakistan for the remainder of the year as well as next year. Congress appropriated $2 billion for the current fiscal year, but much of it remains unspent. For next year Congress is considering proposals of around $1 billion in aid.

Sen. Paul, a tea party favorite, libertarian and son of Texas Rep. Ron Paul, said such up or down votes are rare, and predicted it will cause some discomfort in the Senate.

“You will see some folks squirming in their seats on this one,” he said.

I’m not sure that you’d want to piss off Obama:

The US has confirmed that al-Qaeda’s second-in-command was killed in a drone strike in Pakistan.

US officials described the death of Abu Yahya al-Libi as a “major blow” to the terrorist organisation.

The official told AFP that Washington had a “very high degree of confidence” that Libi was dead, and argued that his demise would severely hamper the capacity of core al-Qaeda leaders to liaise with affiliated groups.

Libi was killed when missiles destroyed his vehicle and a militant compound in North Waziristan, leaving 15 dead.

The death of Libi, a close aid to Osama bin Laden’s successor Ayman al-Zawahiri, is a major blow to what is left of al-Qaeda’s core leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

He is among more than 12 senior al-Qaeda leaders assassinated since bin Laden was tracked down and killed by US Navy Seals in May last year.

Three separate drone strikes were launched from Saturday to Monday, killing at least 30 people, according to local sources.

The third barrage comprised two missiles, which slammed into a compound and a vehicle in the village of Hesokhel, near Miranshah, the capital of North Waziristan, before dawn. Pakistani intelligence officials said they had evidence that Libi was at the scene at the time of the strike.

There is a great deal of lefty wailing about some soldier pissing on the corpses of dead Taliban. Blair Mulholland says what I am thinking.

These are soldiers!  They are supposed to kill our enemies.  What earthly difference does it make if they humiliate the corpse?  The corpse is no longer bothered by the offence.  Besides which, these are Taliban, they are vile sacks of shit who stone women for exposing their ankles and trying to get an education.  And they harboured Osama Bin Laden after 9/11 and refused to give him up.  If I had the opportunity, I would piss on a Taliban corpse as well.

Arapeta Awatere – the great Colonel of the Maori Battalion, once pissed on Hitler’s rug, and nobody complained.  If we are going to show no respect for these scumbags while they are living, why do their bodies suddenly become sacred in death?

The US Government and the US Army hierarchy should ask themselves when they became such pussies that they are so afraid of a bunch of pissing cocks.  These soldiers don’t deserve a court martial, they deserve a beer.

December 15 was the 25th anniversary of the foundation of Palestinian terror organisation Hamas.

This is how they celebrate.

And by brainwashing their kids.

Republican presidential candidates have said President Obama practices “appeasement” when it comes to foreign policy.

At the White House a short time ago, Barack Obama had this response:

“Ask Osama bin Laden and the 22 out of 30 top al-Qaida leaders who’ve been taken off the field whether I engage in appeasement. Or whoever’s left out there. Ask them about that.”

The left wing used to hate on George W. Bush and his propensity to war. They are strangely silent on the mounting body toll of Obama.

Just five months after a team of Navy SEALS killed Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad, Pakistan, President Obama’s administration claimed yet another kill Friday in its hunt for terrorists abroad. With theassassination of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S.-born cleric known as the “chief of external operations” for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, new debatehas arisen over whether it’s appropriate for a president to order the killing of a U.S. citizen — and how closely Obama’s policies mirror those if his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Since taking office the president has overseen the killing of a remarkable number of terrorist leaders.

The article then presents a “rogues gallery” of 8 dead terrorists.

Everyone knows that Hone Harawira is dumber than a sack of hammers. But who would have thought Maori academic Dr. Ranginui Walker would be as dumb, if not dumber.

Hone Harawira has described Osama bin Laden as “a man who fought for the rights, the land and the freedom of his people”.

That was Dumb speaking, now for Dumber:

Professor Ranginui Walker also acknowledged bin Laden on Te Karere. Dr Walker likened him to the 19th century Maori prophet Te Kooti Rikirangi because of his fight for his country.

It has obviously escaped Dumb and Dumber that Osama bin Laden was a Saudi, living in Pakistan committing acts of terror all around the world but specifically in the US, Afghanistan and Iraq. None of those countries are Saudi Arabian so quite how he is “fighting” for “the rights, the land and the freedom of his people” or “country” is beyond me, but in la-la land where both of these idiots live it seems to be the case.

I wonder what other maori think about Dr. Walker comparing Te Kooti with a terrorist. Either way they are lauding a terrorist. I think we should put both on a watch list.

One of the dead was Osama bin Laden, done in by a double tap — boom, boom — to the left side of his face.
