The Muslim Public Affairs Committee of the UK has declared that any Muslim company which sells Israeli products is "treacherously supporting Israel". And thus we how Muslims cajole and harass any and all who do not toe the "Israel is evil" party line.

I have no problem blaming Canada for pretty much anything. Let's face it, picking on Canada is just fun. But is it Canada's fault that so many young Muslims want to blow up Canada, Canadians, and Canadian shit? Of course it is! Well, at least that is how a good portion of the modern Left sees it.

Here's a shocker, former Rep. Pete McCloskey of California is being forced to return $2,100 he received from a man being investigated for helping fund al Qaeda and Islamic Jihad. What possible reason could the terror supporter have for giving money to McCloskey? It seems that McCloskey bellieves that the Jews just have way too much power.

An American, a Canadian, and six Britons have been freed in Nigeria. Authorities declined to say whether a ransom was paid or not---which is a polite way of saying, yes, we paid ransom. Expect more hostage taking in Nigeria as this is turning into a lucrative business opportunity.

CBC News:

Eight foreign oil workers kidnapped in Nigeria — including a Canadian — were released Sunday, a local government spokesman said.

"All the hostages have been released. They are with the governor [of Bayelsa state] now," said Ekiyor Welson, a spokesman for the state in the southern Niger Delta region where the eight were kidnapped from an offshore oil rig on Friday.

Via LGF, the Telegraph reports:

Senior police sources said they were searching for an "improvised device rather than a sophisticated weapon" capable of releasing chemicals. The Sunday Telegraph has learnt that intelligence obtained by MI5 suggested that terrorists were trying to acquire material via the internet which could be used to develop a nerve gas capable of killing and injuring thousands of people.

Security sources say that the terrorist threat facing Britain has developed into a "covert conspiracy" involving hundreds of men and women living ordinary lives in the nation's suburbs. They form an estimated 1,200 strong "army" of terrorists believed to be involved in at least 20 major terrorist plots.

Scotland Yard and MI5 sources were playing down reports in the media yesterday that they were looking for a "chemical vest", which could be used by a suicide bomber. The wearer would suffer a long and painful death.

Detectives believe it is more likely that sarin or an alternative nerve agent would be released from a canister or flask.

File it under Incidents, Isolated.

Apparently stung by recent criticism citing a lack of balance in the selection of letters to the editor, the Syracuse Post-Standard in its Sunday edition suggested that readers telephone the conservative reader who raised the issue.

From the Editor's note (emphasis added):

A close reading of last Sunday's Feedback response would make clear that Richard Lindsay has earned his record as "most prolific" from the number of letters he writes, not the number published. Just because we say it, does that make it true? Here's more specific information: Lindsay sent us four letters dated May 26; two more dated May 27; two dated May 28; two dated May 29. And so on. Still don't believe us? Why not give him a call?

Apart from the accusations of editorial bias in the selection of letters (members of the Syracuse Peace Council do seem to be pretty successful at getting their visceral hatred of the President published), why Lindsay, a conservative who often disagrees with the Post-Standard's left-leaning editorial policies, is singled out for criticism for being "prolific" is a mystery. Apparently, prolific liberal letter writers are concerned citizens, while prolific conservative letter writers are cranks.

In any case, for a daily newspaper to encourage its readers to harass a man for stating his opinions is irresponsible and outrageous, and seems more driven by pique than reasoned counter-argument.

I read a lot of the Arab, Muslim, and extreme Left press. If I had a dollar for every time they accused American troops of committing "attrocities", "massacres", and "war crimes", then I'd be a very rich man.

How often do these groups make such accusations? Every time a civilian in Iraq is caught in the crossfire and killed. Every. Single. Time.

These groups already know what American troops are reallly like.

The most sympathetic opinion of our troops from these groups is that they are children. They do these bad things not because they are bad people, but because Bush-hitler and co. have put them in a bad situation.

Our childlike troops--who really signed up so they could go to college but were tricked and drafted into fighting a war for Haliburton's gain--snap every time an IED goes off and indiscriminately kill civilians.

The least sympathetic opinion of our troops, especially prevalent among Islamist sources, is that our troops like to kill Arabs. You know, it's just fun.

So, with this view of American troops in mind, every time a civilian gets killed in Iraq, it is our fault. It's not the fault of the terrorists who use mosques as command-and-control centers. It's not the fault of insurgents who--contrary to the Geneva Conventions--try to hide their identities by blending in with the local population. It's not the fault of these minute-men who fire on U.S. troops from the roofs, from the alleys, and from the windows of civilian homes.

No, it's always the fault of the U.S. troops.

So, when I hear that U.S. troops have been cleared in the alleged massacre at Ishaqi, I can't help to think about Haditha.

What do we really know about Haditha? So far, the allegations seem par for the course. The usual accusations. Civilians were killed and Americans must have massacred them.

But word massacre has a distinct connatation. It implies that American troops intentionally killed civilians. That civilians were rounded up and shot, or that our Marines went room to room methodically murdering children.

What we know is only that civilians were killed. What we know is that Marines originally reported that they were killed by a roadside bomb, but that those Marines later reported that they were killed in crossfire.

This is the major cover-up of a massacre that I've been hearing about?

We have dead bodies. The dead bodies reveal that the civilians were shot. But, isn't that what we've already known for some time now? That civilians were shot?

The only questions that remain, then, are two-fold. First, what were the Marines motives? That is, did they intentionally kill these civilians, or were they shot accidentally? Either in cross-fire, or because the Marines were careless.

If the former, then we do have a massacre. These civilinas were murdered.

But if the latter, then at worst we have some careless Marines who ought to be jailed for negligient homicide or not following the rules of engagement. Which is equally tragic, but far more mundane explanation than a massacre. It's also far more likely.

The second question is about the alleged "cover-up" and, according to Rep. Murtha, "how high it went." Of course, to the far Left it doesn't really matter how high up it went, because in their minds, it always goes up to the Sec. of Defense or the President of the United States. So, the real motivation here is not to get at the truth, but to score political points.

What we know is that an NCO filed an erroneous field report. There is no evidence--none--that even a single officer knew the report was wrong.

Will it turn out that Haditha was a massacre in its true sense? Did Marines go on a rampage murdering women and children? Maybe. As I've said in the past, if this is the case, I personally volunteer for the firing squad.

But since I've heard these accusations so many times before, let's just say I'm not holding my breath.

A Russian diplomat was murdered and four embassy workers were taken hostage in Iraq today. It's not entirely clear if this is the act of terrorsists trying to make a political statement or if it is the work of criminals attempting to make money---or a combination of both.

Some sources indicate that the four may have already been rescued. We hope that this is the case.

We pray for the immediate release of these men.

WaPo:

Gunmen ambushed a Russian diplomatic car in Baghdad on Saturday afternoon, killing tne diplomat and kidnapping four others, Iraqi police and the Russian embassy reported.

The car came under attack from armed men in two cars in the Mansour neighborhood of western Baghdad, police Col. Sami Hassan said. An opening fusillade of gunfire killed one embassy worker. When the shooting brought the convoy to a halt, the gunmen kidnapped four others, Hassan said. Iraqi security forces cordoned off the area and began a search for the missing diplomats.

I saw this last night at LGF but couldn't get to it until now.

A DESPERATE search is under way for a “chemical vest” that a British suicide bomber was ready to deploy in a terror attack on London.

Police fear that the strike, using a home-made chemical device, was imminent after an informant told MI5 that he had seen the lethal garment at the home of two young men.

(Pickering, Ontario) Seventeen males, mostly their teens and 20s, were arrested last night in a sweep of a terrorist cell allegedly plotting to launch attacks in Ontario. The suspects, 12 adults and five minors and mostly Canadian citizens, are believed to have trained at camps north of Toronto.

From TheGlobeandMail.com:

The RCMP says the sweep began Friday night in co-operation with an Integrated National Security Enforcement Team, or INSET. These arrests are the largest ever made since the inception of INSET. INSET teams are made up of members of the RCMP, the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, federal agencies such as the Canada Border Services Agency and Citizenship and Immigration Canada, and provincial and municipal police services.

Police said they have recovered three tonnes of ammonium nitrate fertilizer. Commissioner McDonell noted that this amount was three times the amount used by Timothy McVeigh to destroy the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1995.

2. Zakaria Amara, 20, Mississauga, Ont.;

3. Asad Ansari, 21, Mississauga;

4. Shareef Abdelhaleen, 30, Mississauga;

5. Qayyum Abdul Jamal, 43, Mississauga;

6. Mohammed Dirie, 22, Kingston, Ont.;

7. Yasim Abdi Mohamed, 24, Kingston;

8. Jahmaal James, 23, Toronto;

9. Amin Mohamed Durrani, 19, Toronto;

10. Steven Vikash Chand alias Abdul Shakur, 25, Toronto;

11. Ahmad Mustafa Ghany, 21, Mississauga;

12. Saad Khalid, 19, of Eclipse Avenue, Mississauga.

From TheStar.com:

The chain of events began two years ago, sparked by local teenagers roving through Internet sites, reading and espousing anti-Western sentiments and vowing to attack at home, in the name of oppressed Muslims here and abroad.

Their words were sometimes encrypted, the Internet sites where they communicated allegedly restricted by passwords, but Canadian spies back in 2004 were reading them. And as the youths' words turned into actions, they began watching them.

According to sources close to the investigation, the suspects are teenagers and men in their 20s who had a relatively typical Canadian upbringing, but -- allegedly spurred on by images of conflict in Iraq and Afghanistan and angered by what they saw as the mistreatment of Muslims at home -- became increasingly violent.

I believe it's worth emphasizing that the media apparently were a major influence in prompting the suspects to organize and plan their terrorist plot.

Muslims rioting?

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Thousands of Shiite Muslims enraged by a TV comedy that mocked the leader of Hezbollah took to the streets of southern Beirut on Thursday night, burning car tires and blocking roads, police and witneses said.

The trouble began after an actor spoofed Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, wearing the Hezbollah leader's trademark black turban and sporting a similar beard and spectacles on a TV show on Lebanese Broadcasting Corp, a privately-owned Christian channel.

Weird. I don't recall anything like that happening before. Just one of those isolated incidents.

Look at this picture. Apparently, whoever put up this sign doesn't support our troops or our President.

Fair enough. It's disgusting, but this is a free country.

Now take a closer look.

The original sign was put up by employees of Cornerstone Abatement and Demolition Co. in Tampa showing their support for the troops and for the President. The "Not" sign is actually on the property of the Powernet Credit Union, which has the adjacent property. Pretty slimy tactics.

The President of Powerline Credit Union is also said to have forced an employee to park his car elsewhere because it had a pro-Bush bumper sticker on it. I believe that this is a violation of federal law.

Do you know what your credit union is up to? Richard at Hyscience has the rest of the story and what you can do about it.

6 I think it's a manufactured *outrage* I believe the credit spokesman when he said the "and our troops" banner was only just added recently, and said he expected trouble then. So up till that point he disliked George Bush enough to let moonbats use his land for a "NOT" banner (which by the way, doesn't even make sense, above the banner.) welcome to America, dissent is everywhere, I'm just glad his feeling is strong enough he's willing to ostracize his customers for it.

7 This is bound to happen when people attempt to equate supporting the troops with supporting the president. Read the sign, and you can see why people get annoyed. The support of our honorable men and women of our military are never meant to be synonymous with the civilian leadership of our country.

Posted by: Splatter at June 03, 2006 11:53 AM (rtnQC)

8 >>>This is bound to happen when people attempt to equate supporting the troops with supporting the president. They didn't equate loving Bush with loving the troops, they simply said they love the troops and also love president Bush. But some folks are so driven by their hatred of Bush that they didn't even give it a moments thought that they were also insulting the troops. It wasn't even an issue apparently. But c'mon, you Lefties don't support the troops. You can't kid a kidder! I know sometimes it's politically expedient to say you do, but that doesn't make it true. So you end up with "NOT" signs that insult the troops because you're "support" is politically calculated and cynical.

9 Good for them for telling the Corporate-Commie Bush to go f**k himself. I support those troops serving in Iraq that are breathing in depleted uranium on a daily basis and being encouraged against their will by their superiors to commit war crimes, but not this little manchild of a president. In fact, it is Bush (or, rather, Cheney), more than anyone, who is letting our troops out to rot. How anyone, left or right, can deny this after over three years of this rotten war is beyond me. Whatever you're smoking, I want some of it. And when Bush and the flamboyant, limey dictator Blair decide to nuke Iran, as they will, look out. American troops in Iraq and Afghanistan will be the victims of a mass genocide, in large part because Bush, Blair, et al. couldn't resist starting another needless war. And in great part because we simply do not have the capability to fight such a war, especially if China and Russia side with the Iranians (an all-too real possibility.) So, who is it that is really supporting the troops here? You brownshirted, wanna-be NeoCons that are eager to be part of the ruling class that gets to torture the rest of us when Martial Law is declared? Granted, there are some brainwashed, moronic lefties who care nothing for the men and women in uniform. But that doesn't excuse the unamerican and treasonous activities of this administration and its supporters. If anything, many of those lefties are working with the administration and its allies in order to discredit and destroy not only our military, but the United States at large. World government is just on the horizon, folks, and you'll have the likes of Bush and Clinton to thank. The left hand washes the right hand, and vice versa. It's called the New World Order; it's real, and it's here now. Either you fight it, or you're part of the problem. Being a "moonbat" or a "wingnut" is just contributing to the enslavement of humanity. Don't believe me now? You will eventually, when you've got a microchip under your skin and your pension fund has been raided. You will when your young children are being taken by jackbooted thugs to rape rooms. You will when you're starving and politicians like Hillary, McCain, Kennedy, and Bush laugh all the way to the bank. Until then, good luck to you, because those few of you still believing in Bush, the GOP, or the Democrats are enemies of our once-proud Constitutional Republic. America is dead, at least until enough of us revive it.

17 >>>A Bush Appointee. I don't have a problem with him being a "Bush appointee", after all, I voted for Bush. You must be young. Democrats have been referring to efforts to slow spending growth as "budget cuts" for decades. It's an old scare tactic. "Yet even so, funding for veterans is going up twice as fast under Bush as it did under Clinton. And the number of veterans getting health benefits is going up 25% under Bush's budgets. That's hardly a cut." http://www.factcheck.org/article.aspx?docID=144 So as you can see from that chart, funding for veterans benefits has accelerated under the Bush administration faster than it did under Clinton. Now who's the whore? huh? Now who's the IGNORANT fear monger and peddler of outright lies? Not Principi.

As usual, Cageymind is the place for Lodi coverage. I would add this, though. Follow the links to the Sac Bee article. Notice anything misleading about it? Such as how they conveniently leave out that the elder Hayat was charged with lying about his connections to a mosque in Pakistan which is known to support terrorism--something his son was convicted of.

Frequent Jawa commenter Michael Hampton has discovered a fabulous new use for Craig's List. In addition to providing information on all the free local hookups, Craig's List may now being used to send secret signals to terrorist sleeper agents! Be sure to listen to the message, it's freaky.

Okay, so maybe the cryptic phone message isn't from terrorists. Maybe it's just one geeks way of telling another geek he loves her/him. Thus love blooms in the aftermath of The Da Vinci Code.

Then again, maybe it's Azzam Al-Amriki telling Ayman al-Zawahiri that he loves him, misses him, and that he has a special piece of lingirie picked out for when they finally reunite. Isn't love beautiful?

Dr. Sanity has a fascinating discussion of the intellectual evolution of the modern Left (see especially this chart) and the strange alliance it seems to have with Islamists. It seems to me explanation is quite simple: both share a common enemy, us.

Common enemies do create strange alliances. But don't question their patriotism.
