(Lahore, Pakistan) The son of Muhammad and Nazo Afzal, Asif, saw his sister, Sumera, in an intimate circumstance with cousin Zeeshan and became enraged. Asif suspected for a while that his sister was having an affair with cousin Zeeshan and, seeing them together, he decided to do something about it. Asif grabbed a gun and shot Sumera in the head.

Sumera was rushed to the hospital, but couldn't be saved. Nazo and Zeeshan went to the police to register a case against Asif. It's not clear whether anything will happen to Asif for the murder. I haven't heard of many perpetrators of honor killings being punished in Pakistan.

Nevertheless, it appears that it's more honorable to have a murderer in the family than an lovemaker.

Rock out to the Muslim Rock at this website (Be sure to turn up your volume):

Put a bomb in your shoe, lets put a bomb in your shoe, why don't you be a real cool Muslim fighter, and put a bomb in your shoe and blow awayaaa. Yeah, you'll get seventeen new virgins,at Muhammed's bordello in the sky, and you'll get wine women and song. So be a real cool Muslim fighter, but don't forget your lighter, and blow yourself awayaaa ... to Muhammed's bordello in the sky.

I hope fellow bloggers and their readers will help to pass this around and add some perspective to this 'Muslim thing' that's become a dark plague on our planet. I'm fed up hearing about 'Islam' -I say enough already about this Islam sensitivity garbage!

Here's some interesting stuff sent to me this morning.

New intelligence indicates that Osama bin Laden may be headed to Iraq for Ramadan. I'm not buying it, but if it was true think of all the great caption-contest opportunities.

Brazil wanted da bomb? Duh! Of course they did. And by da bomb, I'm not talking about that chick from Ipanema.

The Carnival of Liberty is up. Check it out. The Carnival of The Liverated, too.

Is Saudi Arabia solidly on the way to reform? Maybe. John at Cross Roads of Arabia seems to think developments there warrant our attention.

Democrats new strategery: If you can't win, at least enjoy losing.

Germany's top magazine says the U.S. is doomed...DOOMED....DOOMED to playing second-fiddle to China. I seem to recall similar sentiments in the 1980s about Japan. Whatever happened to that inevetable Japanese juggernaut, anyway?

(Islamabad, Pakistan) It's illegal to treat women and girls as property but it happens all the time.

From the Indo-Asian News Service:

A candidate in Pakistan's Northwestern Frontier Province gave away his 11-year-old daughter to his opponent in exchange for latter's withdrawal from next week' local elections, a news report said Sunday.

Daily Times quoted an unnamed election official as saying that Ajoon, a resident of Kohistan district, more than 120 km northwest of here, made the offer considering his opponent Vilayat Noor politically stronger.

The two men were the only candidates for the post of nazim, or chief administrator.

This incident exemplifies the ineffectiveness of the national government in establishing and enforcing laws on remote regions of mountainous northern Pakistan. The thousand-year-old religious and societal customs endure despite legislative actions taken in the capitol of Islamabad.

It's off in some sick zone by itself. However, I did make the comparison between this and the NYT "background check" on the Supreme Court nominee's kids. I figure maybe they think he's going to offer one up to the Judicial Comm. to get his nomination on to the floor. Or maybe offer one to the DNC.

12 No YBP, she is more then tissue once she has been born. I have always said that once they are breathing, they have full rights as all of us. I also do believe in choice over blind obedience. The only time choice should not be involved is when it will harm another living entity, and you know of course my definition of living. But I would like to point out your hypocrisy. You are the one who goes on about "True Christians don't try to force their beliefs on to others", but not only are you trying to force you belief on to others, you want to make them law. But this just goes to show that you are a true conservative, trying to enslave the rest of the world with your views. As for the Blues Brother movie, that was great.

Posted by: Butch at August 10, 2005 05:23 PM (Gqhi9)

13 Butch, Butch, Butch: Why does the fact that someone has been born alter anything? Why aren't they fair game like unborn children? Why? What so sacred about "being born"? Isn't it Life that's sacred? "But I would like to point out your hypocrisy. You are the one who goes on about "True Christians don't try to force their beliefs on to others", but not only are you trying to force you belief on to others, you want to make them law. But this just goes to show that you are a true conservative, trying to enslave the rest of the world with your views." Forcing religious beliefs on someone would be like saying "You must attend THIS Church." Wanting to protect life is a little more basic than that. MANY religions condemn abortion, as did all civilized nations for thousands of years. Now, people have been duped by social engineers that abortion is a "right." We have laws to protect people who have been born. Is that a religious belief? Yes, but it's also common human decency. I want the same for the unborn. Married? Let's say that you and your wife really wanted to start a family. If your wife, pregnant for one week with your offspring, were killed by a drunken driver, would you only be thinking that one life has been snuffed out? What if she CHOSE to kill herself and the offspring because...just because. Would she have that right?

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at August 11, 2005 03:15 PM (x+5JB)

14 YBP, I do agree that life is sacred, and should be protected. The point of disagreement between us is when does life begin. That is why those who are born are no more fair game then you or me. So for you to say that I condone the killing or enslaving of children is purely 100% slander. I don't. As you can see from my posts, I have never denied how I feel about "tissue" prior to birth. So why are you lying about how I would feel about a child after it has been born? You are right that protecting human life is just plain common human decency. And every government should make that their number one goal. But once again, what is the definition of life. "The period between birth and death.", maybe? As for "Now, people have been duped by social engineers that abortion is a "right."", people been having one form of abortion or another for thousands of years. It is nothing new. And since people have been having abortions for eons, that stands to reason that those people thought it was right. It is much better to have an abortion than to leave a newborn out in the woods for the wolves. That has been done, and I heard is still sometime practice today. And making abortions illegal, is exactly forcing your believes on to us, pro choicers. Why? Because we don't believe what you. And yes, I am married. If you missed the post, I am married to a beautiful blonde bombshell from the Ukraine. And if she died while she was expecting, I would consider it to be a tragedy, but I would think of only one death. Even if she was 7 months pregnant, I would think to of it as 1 death. If it was you, would you buy 1 or two coffins, burial plots? What if your wife was pregnant, and she did something stupid, and had a miscarriage. Should she be charged with murder or manslaughter? Should all of these mothers be charged with injury to a child, if they are born with defects due to drugs or alcohol? On the lighter side, if life begins with conception, does that me I can retire in Feb of 2028 instead of Nov 2028 (age 65)? But I hope you see that, we have no disagreement on the sanctity of life after birth. We both agree that life from birth on is sacred. Now we differ when it comes to the nine months prior to that birth. And if you want to call me a "unborn mass murderer", that is fine and dandy. But when you say that I believe a child who has been born is nothing more then tissue, then you are committing a sin and breaking a commandment, of thou shall not lie.

Posted by: Butch at August 11, 2005 04:40 PM (Gqhi9)

15 I guess tissue is "fair game"

Posted by: Brad at August 11, 2005 06:31 PM (3OPZt)

16 Butch: "YBP, I do agree that life is sacred, and should be protected. The point of disagreement between us is when does life begin." Butch, even pro-abortion doctors agree that fetuses are alive! "That is why those who are born are no more fair game then you or me." Ummmm??? "So for you to say that I condone the killing or enslaving of children is purely 100% slander. I don't. As you can see from my posts, I have never denied how I feel about "tissue" prior to birth. So why are you lying about how I would feel about a child after it has been born?" Butch, again, what virtue does beeing being born bring about that so magically protects someone? What is it? Because a baby can eat and breath on its own? Babies are still dependent and need to be fed, no? What about babies on respirators? "As for "Now, people have been duped by social engineers that abortion is a "right."", people been having one form of abortion or another for thousands of years. It is nothing new. And since people have been having abortions for eons, that stands to reason that those people thought it was right." The fact that evil has been done is not justification for its legalization. "It is much better to have an abortion than to leave a newborn out in the woods for the wolves. That has been done, and I heard is still sometime practice today." Bringing up another heinous practice #2 does not justify heinous practice #1. "And making abortions illegal, is exactly forcing your believes on to us, pro choicers. Why? Because we don't believe what you." But wouldn't any law that a person disagrees with be "forced" on him? Aren't some people who like to torture or kill animals "forced" to abandon such activities for the good of humanity? "And yes, I am married. If you missed the post, I am married to a beautiful blonde bombshell from the Ukraine. And if she died while she was expecting, I would consider it to be a tragedy, but I would think of only one death. Even if she was 7 months pregnant, I would think to of it as 1 death." So lets's say you you were both looking forward to the birth of your son or daughter intwo months, had picked out the furniture, etc., and some nut runs at you while you are both strolling along and drop kicks your blonde bomshell in her very-pregnant looking stomach. She miscarries. The mother has no harm done to her own body. Are you saying that you would be content that the individual's crime be simple assault? He would get, say, some months in jail, or community service, and may have to pay a fine for a new dress for wifey. And that would be justice? "If it was you, would you buy 1 or two coffins, burial plots?" Two plots, Butch, one for each body. "What if your wife was pregnant, and she did something stupid, and had a miscarriage. Should she be charged with murder or manslaughter?" It depends on what the "mistake" is. Is it intentional? Then yes. "Should all of these mothers be charged with injury to a child, if they are born with defects due to drugs or alcohol?" Yes! Aren't they already?! "On the lighter side, if life begins with conception, does that me I can retire in Feb of 2028 instead of Nov 2028 (age 65)?" You have my permission, Butch. At least, having not been aborted, you have the opportunity to retire at all. Brad: I just sneezed. Please pass a baby, er, a tissue.

Posted by: Young Bourbon Professional at August 12, 2005 09:05 AM (x+5JB)

17 Here ya go YBP, I have one left. It’s 7 months old, from the Ukraine and has blond hair, blue eye and a beating heart. No good for anything but blowing your nose. “It is much better to have an abortion than to leave a newborn out in the woods for the wolves” Butch 2005 Just goes to show that you can find comedy just about anywhere. Btw, I have some friends who have the last name of Wolf. If these people came over to my house, would you say “The Wolves are here, or The Wolf’s are here?”

Posted by: Brad at August 12, 2005 10:03 AM (6mUkl)

18 YBP, the difference between being born and pre birth, is the same difference between an acorn and an oak tree. The acorn is not a tree. It is a potential tree. If you had a picture of an acorn, a car, a dog, a tree, and girl, and asked people on the street how many trees are in this pictures, guess what your answer will be? One. Have you ever heard of the "Miracle of Birth", well the miracle of birth is that a new human being is in this world. Once again, that is "YOUR" opinion that abortion is evil. But it is not the opinion of everyone. Besides evil can defined differently from religion to religion. That is why I say that it is up to the individual and God to decide what is evil. But is Society that must decide what is legal. But had I not experience the miracle of birth and had been aborted, I would not have to worry about retirement, because I would never, and I do mean never, not 1 month, 2 month what ever, existed. Then again, maybe my soul would just be waiting for the next available body to be "BORN". But since you and Brad do not have any honesty or integrity about my posts, and since this blog is getting farther and farther down the list, I will just leave off on this one, and let you two lie about me as you will.

Today's visual is brought to you by Emperor Misha I. If he gets a fatwa before me there will be hell to pay!

Today's thought: Are you a victim of propaganda? Ask yourself this question: Who did we fight in WWII? If you answered the Nazis, you are a victim of propaganda. Remember, there were no Nazi armies. There were German armies. By distinguishing between good German soldiers and bad Nazis, Americans were able to reconcile themselves with our new found West German allies in the midst of the Cold War imperitive. Discuss amongst yourselves.

Tatooine:
It looks like the Board of Directors of The al-Qaeda Organization in The Land of Two Rivers, Inc., might be looking to replace current CEO and Chief Head Chopper, Abu Musab al Zarqawi. (Hat tip: Flopping Aces)

Wait, you mean there might be a Saudi connection to the London bombings? I find that awfully hard to believe. Probably a Zionist disinformation plot.

*Shocking* news: Al Qaeda magazine published openly in Turkey.

London conspirators indicted and extradited. Do they have bitches in British prisons?

Q: What qualifications do you need to run a ministry in a corrupt Gulf country?
A: See here.

Who needs to nuke Mecca when the Saudis seem intent on destroying it themselves?

Netanyahu quits over Gaza Pullout. I thought pulling out was only a sin in Catholocism, but not Judaism?

Are oppressed Iranian bloggers trying to take out oppressive Iranian judges? Now this is the kind of vigilantiasm I can support.

Dhimmis:
George Galloway, jackass? Yeah, but traitor is a more accurate word.

The Savior Sect issues fatwa saying it's o.k. for terrorists to be welfare recipients.

Treason? Guilty. Guilty. Guilty. Bitches! From today's news it seems we may have to remove the UK from our list of dhimmi countires.

The French are not as dhimmifide as they act. The French may have actually found the winning strategy. I'm not kidding. They act like dhimmis in public, but domestically crack down on Islamists in such a way that would make the ACLU cringe. And remember, the French equivelant of the CIA has a domestic arm and police power.

Domestic Dhimmis & Stuff:
Peter Jennings is dead, and Mike King scooped the MSM by more than a day. Too many links to keep track of. Let me just say this on behalf of Jennings: Born Canadian, died American.

Stop the ACLU notes that the Florida Supreme Court has a scheme for taxpayer support of the ACLU.

Mmmmm, fried chicken tastes better at a PETA protest.

Since I'm 1/16th Native-American, I can't be racist. Right? PS-I'm not Cherokee, but I wish I was.

Blog Propaganda:
Althouse & McArdle I can understand, but not you Totten. Say it isn't so? Sellout. (super-secret message to Totten: Babe-pics + Puppy-blender = Mucho-grande linkage)

Blogfather Charles Johnson vs. former University of Colorado President Elizabeth Hoffman. Charles wins in first round.

Hawkins is late to figure out that Hot Chicks (even fictional ones) + Pics + Blogging = Hits. On a related note, Witty Sex Kitten has retired from blogging, but Alexa, the vixen behind A New York City Escort's Confessions is back, er, blogging that is. (hat tip: Rob Port)

This weeks RINO sightings are up at Searchlight Crusade.

Gaijin Biker has a new site and now has trackbacks and other useful thingies. Remember, if you are a blogger you need trackbacks. Trackbacks get you attention and tie you into the community. Unless you are a hot chick that blogs naked they are essential tool for succesful blogging.

Q: What do Bea Arthur, Luke Skywalker, and Phin have in common?

Kevin Kohlman posts on a new guide published on the Internet, in which an alleged former resident of the Iraqi-Syrian border region has explained in detail for potential foreign fighter recruits how they can enter Iraq and join in the jihad by traveling through neighboring Syria. According to "Al-Muhajir al-Islami", foreign jihadists should travel to the eastern Syrian city of Dayr al-Zawr: "it is recommended to enter the city using a car and do not carry large sums of money. If anyone asks, say you are here on a vacation and have come to go fishing in the Euphrates—therefore, bring some fishing equipment and another person with you so you won’t look suspicious." Recruits are also advised to avoid consulting government-sponsored Muslim clerics in local mosques and only to "approach the Salafist youths" outside of mosques and beyond the prying eyes of Syrian intelligence.

Iraq's interior minister, Bayan Jabr, recently told The Associated Press (if we can believe what they write as being even remotely accurate) in an exclusive interview that Iraq's neighbors — especially Syria and Jordan — must take stronger measures to stem the flow of militants and money for the insurgency from their territory into Iraq, and said he had pictures and addresses of insurgents in Syria. Notably, he said that, "It is not important to capture or not capture al-Zarqawi, the problem is not to let al-Zarqawi get more followers."

And just who are these followers Byan Jabar refers to and what drives them? The answer tells us much of what we're up against in the West, and how dangerous a threat an 'Islam gone amuck' can be!

Those "Salafist youths" referred to by the "alleged former resident of the Iraqi-Syrian border region" in Kevin's post, and others like them around the world, are younger followers of the same belief that drives Usama Bin Ladin and other Islamist terrorist leaders, a belief that draws upon a long tradition of extreme intolerance within one stream of Islam (a minority tradition but fastly becoming more mainstream), from at least Ibn Taimiyyah, through the founders of Wahhabism, through the Muslim Brotherhood, to Sayyid Qutb. Sayyid Qutb eschewed islah (reform) in favour of violent overthrowing of existing political systems, and it is this "political salafism" that has been adopted by terrorist groups and that the free world must defeat.

In its authoritative report on the tragedy of 11th September 2001, the the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Against the United States (the 9-11 Commission) summarises the threat from salafist(Islamist) terrorism in Chapter 12 at page 363 in these words:

(...) The catastrophic threat at this moment in history is more specific. It is the threat posed by Islamist terrorism—especially the al Qaeda network, its affiliates, and its ideology.

(...) That stream is motivated by religion and does not distinguish politics from religion, thus distorting both. It is further fed by grievances stressed by Bin Ladin and widely felt throughout the Muslim world—against the U.S. military presence in the Middle East, policies perceived as anti-Arab and anti-Muslim, and support of Israel. Bin Ladin and Islamist terrorists mean exactly what they say: to them America is the font of all evil, the “head of the snake,” and it must be converted or destroyed.

(...) It is not a position with which Americans can bargain or negotiate. With it there is no common ground — not even respect for life — on which to begin a dialogue. It can only be destroyed or utterly isolated (emphasis mine).

Just as with Iraq and expressed so appropriately by it's interior minister, Bayan Jabr, we in the West must stop the flow of potential terrorist into our countries, but we must also identify, kill or capture those already here, and remembering one of the few things that the 9/11 Commission got right, "that there can be no dialogue with these people, they can only be destroyed or utterly isolated," we have no options but to go after the Islamists, the followers of the perversion called Salifism, wherever they are, and capture or kill all of them and all of those that support them. We must bring a halt to right vs. left bickering, and get on the same train to securing the continuence of our civilization and culture.

As a post script, I borrow from the same chapter of the 9/11 Commission Report that the above excerpts are drawn from:

Tolerance, the rule of law, political and economic openness, the extension of greater opportunities to women—these cures must come from within Muslim societies themselves(emphasis mine). The United States must support such developments. But this process is likely to be measured in decades, not years. It is a process that will be violently opposed by Islamist terrorist organizations, both inside Muslim countries and in attacks on the United States and other Western nations. The United States finds itself caught up in a clash within a civilization.

First of all, a visual reminder of the Islamic agenda - courtesy of the AP and CBS (blogstorm needed), although their intention was to promote the Islamization of America, not to make us Islamo-aware (info and image previously posted).

Chad at InTheBullPen provides us a very good reminder that, contrary to moonbatism, the Islamofascists were busy at trying to convert the world to Islam through violent jihad, long before Iraq. Read Chad's Bin Laden Funded Jakarta Attack; Iraq as a ‘Cause’ a Shift in Tactics? While at InTheBullPen, Chad also has a piece on Osama Bin Laden directing terrorist attacks within Saudi Arabia that provides us another little reminder that the 'religion of peace(sic)' is more about world domination and politics than theology and spiritual inspiration.

The LA Times has news that some senior authorities say there is enough anecdotal evidence to warrant concern, and suggest that whatever radicalized the British bombers could presumably also motivate Americans who have embraced Islamic extremist views expressed on websites and chat rooms, in radical mosques and elsewhere. (so when is this news and when have we had any doubts about terror cells in the U.S.? )

Victor Comras has a piece at TheCounterterrorism Blog on the funding of Iraqi insurgents coming from wealthy private donors in the Middle East and elsewhere, as well as former elements of Saddam Hussein's Baathist regime. Apparently, some experts speculated at the time of the first Gulf War that Saddam had over $5 billion stashed away in addition to the $5 billion Iraqi assets located at that time. Since then, Saddam and his cronies may have raked in more than $7-10 billion through various schemes, kickbacks, extortions, and other illicit methods. The oil for food scams were only one such source of SaddamÂ’s money. And very little of this money has yet been accounted for. (in other words, the insurgency is well funded, it's leaders are well protected in Syria, and the killing isn't going away anytime soon unless we can dry up the funds and bring a halt to Syria's participation in the terror in Iraq, and, you better believe it - elsewhere as well!)

The TimesOnline.com (UK) offers up the good news that over the past fortnight Israeli intelligence agents have noticed something distinctly odd happening on the internet - one by one, Al-QaedaÂ’s affiliated websites have vanished until only a handful remain. (Oh heck, how could that be? Must be those pesky 'British Intelligence' folks!)

"Someone has cut the line of communication between the spiritual leaders(now that's a sick as hell connotation - since when is there anything 'spiritual' about murder and mayhem?) of international terrorism and their supporters." Apparently, since 9/11 the websites have been the main links to disseminate propaganda and information to Islamofascists around the world.

The News.Telegraph tells us that Scotland Yard is investigating evidence that the two waves of terrorist attacks on London this month may have been masterminded from Saudi Arabia. (Seems as though we;ve been down this road before.)

The News.telegraph.com also provides a handy "London terror factfile" for a review of most of the happenings related to the London attacks.

Sky News reports that London police are still on high alert amid fears that a third terrorist cell could be plotting another strike on the capital. Thousands of officers are on the streets and guarding Tube and overland rail stations as the huge security operation continues. (As with the Lodi case in the U.S., we're barely seeing the tip of the iceberg relative to the number of potential terrorists and existing cells in Britain)

In the Middle East Times we see that Iraqi women are split over how great a role Islam should play in the new constitution, currently being drafted in parliament, with some fearing "a return to the Dark Ages". An early draft of the constitution published in the local Al Sabah newspaper on Tuesday made clear that Islam is to be "the official religion of the State" and "the main source of legislation".

The text of the document is supported by the conservative Shia majority in Iraq's parliament, and reads "No law that contradicts the universally agreed tenets of Islam may be enacted." But it's still up for discussion by a parliamentary committee and subject to revision. The parliamentary speaker, Hajim Al Hasani, has made it clear that he doesn't believe that it means the rule of Sharia, or Islamic law, and has said that he thinks there's an agreement [in parliament] that they should not include Sharia in the constitution." Luckily for the women, he says that "There are different interpretations of Sharia law," so "why open that door"? (But many of the women want no part of even thinking about sharia, and if that's coming from Muslim women, we all better think a little harder about that Islamic agenda we keep hearing about and work together a lot harder to prevent the AP/CBS's new flag for America becoming a reality!)

In what I consider the MUST READ of the day, there's an opinion piece in The Middle East Times by Youssef M. Ibrahima, former Middle East correspondent for The New York Times, energy editor of the Wall Street Journal, and managing director of the Dubai-based Strategic Energy Investment Group, entitled "The Muslim Mind Is On Fire."

(...) The world of Islam is on fire. Indeed, the Muslim mind is on fire. Above all, the West is now ready to take both of them on.

(...) The only accomplishment of jihadis is that now they have aroused the great "Western Tiger". There was a time when the United States and Europe welcomed Arab and Muslim immigrants, visitors and students, with open arms. London even allowed all dissidents escaping their countries to preach against those countries under the guise of political refugees.

(...) Well, that is all over now. Time has become for the big Western vengeance.

I fear those naïve Muslims who think that they are beating the West have now achieved their worst crime of all. The West is now going to war against not only Muslims, but also, sadly, Islam as a religion.

In this new cold and hot war, car bombs and suicide bombers here and there will be no match for the arsenal that those Westerners are putting together - an arsenal of laws, intelligence pooling, surveillance by satellites, armies of special forces and indeed, allies inside the Arab world who are tired of having their lives disrupted by demented so-called jihadis or those bearded preachers who, under the guise of preaching, do little to teach and much to ignite the fire, those who know little about Islam and nothing about humanity.

So isn't time that we get on with it? Maybe I should re-phrase that with - LETS GET IT ON! It's time to light up a heck of a lot more than the Muslim mind. It's time to shut down mosques with jihadi-preaching imams, profile people likely to commit acts of terror - not little old ladies and the like, stop allowing Islamic immigrants in the country and kick the ones that are here and have doubtful ambitions - out of the country to their country of origin, shut down our borders tighter than Fort Knox, stalk terrorists and kill them wherever they are, seek out terrorist sancturaries and destroy them, shut down terrorist funding and make the act a life sentence, let Syria and Iran know in no uncertain terms that if they don't stop supporting terrorism and the Iraqi insurgency - they're next, and most of all, somehow convince the Democrats that our lives depend on us working together and that they should think less like a moonbat and more like an American.
