The Real Face Of Islam (Fascism)

Posted on by

I just finished watching a 12 minute version of the movie Obsession:Radical Islam’s War On The West and you NEED to watch this thing. First it will make you say "Holy Sh##! (these guys are serious!) and then it will really scare you. It is CHILLING to watch small children calling for our deaths and promising to go to their own to accomplish this goal.

After viewing this you will understand why we can’t placate or negotiate with these extremists. You don’t explain to someone that has been trained from childhood that we are THE enemy that – "hey its all a big misunderstanding and that, no really, we’re nice". That doesn’t work. Best case you lock up someone hell bent on your death – at least until you’ve had time to deprogram them. This is something we can’t keep our head in the sand and hope that it goes away.

This film is an actually documentary – not a docu-drama or the like. It uses video footage that has subtext. Some of it is english some of it arabic and some of it is a mix. They are currently looking for a distributor to show their film. Hey maybe the Canadians that released the contraversal film showing the assasination of George Bush could distribute this independant film as well…

This movie used two web sites as a place to get much of the translated footage:? MEMRI TV (Middle East Media Research Institute) and PMW (Palestinian Media Watch).? Both of the sites have even more stuff that will (or at least should) scare you.? The PMW has a clip of a Senate Commitee reaction to some of the footage of children wanting to become suicide bombers.? Even Sen Hillary Clinton goes off on how crazy this training of the palestinian children is…. this is not a Republican vs Democrat thing, this is not a Liberal vs Conservative thing, this is the West vs the Terrorists thing!

Halp Us N Irak

Responding to Sen John Kerry’s recent remarks, ("You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq." – Washington Post) a few soldiers made him a sign.

As Bill Engvall would say: here’s your sign… The now famous sign put a hilarous spin on the comment from Kerry. The Senator first claimed he botched joke about Bush, but later after pressure appologized to those people were offended by misinterpreting his joke. (The smart people all knew what he meant to say). Two comments on this:

1) The troops displayed the BEST possible reaction to the badly botched joke – a good one.

2) I can actually understand how Kerry made this honest mistake. Kerry as many on the far left – really doesn’t like George Bush. (really) So much so that anything the Bush is associated with is tainted as fruit from the same tree (to steal a legal metaphore). Thus the extreme anti-Bush sentiment clouds thinking on the war, the troops in the war, everything that eventially leads back to Bush. The problem is then the same people start taking shortcuts in making their points. So the process is Bush bad -> war bad -> troops bad; "the troops are bad!" -> actually a slam on Bush. Blame the need for sound bites or laziness or efficency – the reason for the short cut doesn’t really matter. The point is, that I truely believe that John Kerry does not look down on the troops – well at least any more than anyone else ;) The somewhat frightening thing is the extent that this anti-Bush sentiment can apparently cloud thoughts on loosely related issues.

Running Sucks

Posted on by

Have I mentioned that running really sucks? Well it does. Especially when it starts getting colder or when you’re at high elevation near the grand canyon – or both. Such things tend to aggravate my athletically-induced asthma. Not to say that like its a crutch – it simply means I have to work harder to reach the same level of cardio fitness. Which is fine – ’cause I’m not going to let a little thing like asthma or my disdain for running keep me from reaching my goals. Actually I am going to boost my training with the best pre workout supplement according to According to Discover Magazine.

I forgot to post my stats from my run near the canyon. I got to Williams rather late and between the cold night air, the elevation, and the fact that I didn’t have any good cold weather running attire, I only made it a mile before calling it a night and looking for dinner.

  • Oct 11th
  • Run 1.01 miles – 9:36 (133 cals)

Today I thought I would see how much my eliptical training was helping me by going for a fast 2 mile run. I started out at the Navy Training target of 8:30min/miles over my somewhat hilly course. I even reached a 7:41 pace. Unfortunately, this was a vast over-estimation of the elipse’s impact. My 2nd mile was pretty painful, dragging my pace down considerably.

Di-Worsity Training At British Air Pays Off

Posted on by

So a week after a company-wide diversity training program was held at British Airways a woman was suspended for wearing a small metal cross necklace. Now in BA’s defense they claim that she wasn’t suspended just sent home on a (manditory) leave without pay – which is really quite different from suspension. She was told that she could not return wearing her cross in a visible manner: wearing it under her clothing was acceptable, but if anyone ever saw her cross again, she would be disciplined.

Now what makes this outlandish is that Islamic women at BA can wear their full head and face coverings since that is a part of their religion – yeah.

So why is it that it seems diversity and tolerance these days seems to mean the acceptance of all things except Christianity? A provative adult bookstore billboard is "ok" but a large cross on a hill is "offensive". Uttering "Jesus" as a curse word is totally acceptable on TV, but mentioning the man is taboo.

How can the followers of Islam kill so many people and yet its Christianity that has the bad rap. Often after this point is made in the debate, the crusades are brought up. The crusades were misguided and a LONG time ago. Get over it. Islamofascists are killing people today. Just turn on the news. Take for instance the Pope that quotes someone else regarding Islam as violent religion. The Islamic world responds to this with, ta da, violence. Where is the outrage directed? The Pope for saying such "offensive" things. It seems insane. There are those that argue this is proof that Christianity is the one true religion. If its all sheepeople following stories made up by man – why is man trying so hard to destroy it?

Guns Are Bad & Other Gloom & Doom

Posted on by

No solution in sight for U.S. gun violence is latest sunshine coming out as "news". It almost tempts me to become a journalist – after a few years you just recycle the same stuff over, and over…. "More than 30,000 people die from gunshot wounds every year, through murder, suicide and accidents." Which sounds bad until you realize 15,000 people die each year from falling down. Where is the outrage against gravity?

Of course the Gloom & Doomers are in full swing with an election just around the corner. But I’m just getting sick and tired of the endless negativity. I know it’s easier to recycle all the ways the world is going to hell… guns, global warming, big oil, smokers, random offensive crosses… but COME ON. Here’s a concept, go out and actually find a NEW and INTERESTING story – instead of recycling the latest scandel for two weeks.
