Hakim Be Nimble, Hakim Be Quick, Hakim Has More Rights Than You--Quel Neat Trick!

In the refined, PC corridors of the University of Toronto, racism and bigotry are expressly verboten. Unless, that is, your hatred is directed at eee-ville Zionists (as it is during Israeli Apartheid Week, a U of T creation) and or/the racist/bigot is Muslim. Take imam Abdullah Hakim Quick (please!). He's said any number of offensive, bigoted things that would have landed any non-Muslim expressing them in "human rights" hell. But the dhimmi rule of thumb appears to be: if they're uttered by the likes of Hakim, there's no need to sack 'im--or something like that. Which is why while I believe in--and remain committed to the fight for--free speech, I can understand why Jewish groups would object to old Hakim leading an 18 week seminar series on campus: because these groups know that the way it works at U of T and on other campuses these days is that, as per sharia requirements, free speech is the right of but a privileged few.

Oily Wahhabi Royal Offer Big Bucks for Kidnapped IDFers

Post-Shalit release, a Saudi prince is offering to pony up $900,000 per kidnapped Israeli. That's in addition to the 100 Gs already promised by a Wahhabi cleric, putting the going rate/Jew at a cool million bucks. That should be good for a down payment on some camels and a few wives, no?

"Terrorist Barbie"?

More satire gone awry.

French Satire Rag Firebombed By Irate Wiccan Reader

Just kidding:

PARIS (AP) — France's prime minister condemned an apparent arson attack early on Wednesday that destroyed the offices of a satirical French newspaper that had "invited" the Prophet Muhammad as a guest editor this week.

A police official said the blaze broke out overnight at the offices of Charlie Hebdo weekly, and the exact cause remains unclear. No injuries were reported. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because an investigation into the fire is under way.

Police cited a witness saying that someone was seen throwing two firebombs at the building.

The newspaper director, who goes by the name Charb, said the fire was triggered by a Molotov cocktail. He blamed "radical stupid people who don't know what Islam is," for the apparent attack.

"I think that they are themselves unbelievers ... idiots who betray their own religion," Charb said in an interview with Associated Press Television News...

And what, pray tell, had the paper done to elicit such wrath?

The front-page of the weekly, subtitled "Sharia Hebdo," a reference to Islamic law, showed a cartoon-like man with a turban, white robe and beard smiling broadly and saying, in an accompanying bubble, "100 lashes if you don't die laughing."

Pretty funny. In other news that may or may not be related, someone has been sending explosive packages to a Halloween costume shop.

A Swiftian Modest Proposal

If you want to see what are alleged to be topless pix of Country cutie Taylor Swift on a nutty website called Celeb Jihad, fugedaboutit: a glut of traffic from those wanting to catch a glimpse of the naughty shots has crashed the site. Either that or it was shut down on purpose by the server when it tried to induce Swift to submit (in more ways than one). According to this report, the site promised

"We will remove the [photo] if Taylor Swift simply agrees to convert to Islam. To convert to Islam, Taylor Swift must publicly renounce her Jew God Jesus then sacrifice a goat and devour its entrails. Pretty standard stuff really."

For sure--but surely they jest, no?

"We are 100% serious about removing the picture if Taylor Swift agrees to convert to Islam," the site's spokesperson reeled, adding that they may seek their own justice under religious Sharia Law. "We have yet to hear back."

What's more, as reported by MSN, the website is supposedly run by a suicide bomber survivor and an ex goat herder, who say there will be "serious repercussions" for Swift if she and her lawyers follow through with their lawsuit.

The bloggers also claim that despite paying money for "internet filters" they have received an "influx of traffic from perverted Taylor Swift fans…(which) has interrupted service for dedicated Jihadists." They're now demanding that all Swift fans leave their site.

You know you're living in zany times when you can't tell the real jihadis from the satirical ones.

Jihad's Siren Call Lures American Lads to Somalia

A study remains to be done on the psychology of young men who would abandon the comfort and security of life at home in America (or Canada) and run off to a pestilential African bog so they can 'splode for Allah:

If it is confirmed that Abdisalan Hussein Ali was one of two suicide bombers who attacked an African Union base, killing themselves and eight others, it will have been the third suicide bombing carried out in Somalia by Americans since 2008.

And U.S. officials tell NBC News that at least two members of the al-Shabab hierarchy are American-born, 20-something college dropouts, one of whom may be in the group’s “inner circle.”

U.S. officials and counterterrorism analysts estimate there are at least 40 Americans fighting with al-Shabab in Somalia, as well as another 200 with passports that would permit them to enter the U.S. without a visa.

Many of the al-Shabab soldiers are Somali-Americans, many of them from the Minneapolis area, like Ali. The two leaders are not. They are Arab-Americans who traveled to Somalia in the latter part of the last decade and began rising in the ranks of the al-Qaida-linked terrorist group...

An unexploited subject for a reality TV show, no? Say, "The Real Mujaheeds of Mogadishu"?

What's the Buzz? "Of Course" "Zionist" Mosquitoes are Wreaking Havoc, Dengue Fever, in Pakistan

At first I thought that this, an over-the-top rant about Zionist entomological malfeasance penned by a blogger associated with a Pakistan newspaper, was written in a tongue-in-cheek, Swiftian/Onion-y vein. Unfortunately--but hilariously--the bloke who wrote it appears to be in utter earnest. I think. Or maybe not:

I am assuming most of you have already realized what is causing the massive outbreak of dengue fever in Pakistan. According to a number of confirmed resources, the mosquitoes that are causing dengue have been deliberately engineered with the nefarious virus. After they were infected with the virus, they were inducted into Pakistani airspace where they wrecked havoc. And who, of all, could have inflicted such damage upon us? Of course the Zionists!

They have long been jealous of our economic and social progress, not to mention the political stability, the unparalleled research centers and one of the highest literacy rates around the world. When they couldn’t disrupt us through riots and by bribing people to become Taliban (yes, they were the ones who did this) they have finally decided to unleash a biological weapon.

If you doubt this, that indicates weakness of faith. We have substantial evidence that such weapons have been used by Zionists even in the past. Remember the floods? Last year, when Pakistan was about to make a leap in economic progress (or was it social or political? Can’t remember, never mind), floods hit Pakistan! I mean, isn’t it obvious? The timing of the tide and the fact that it killed so many of our Muslim brothers and took away their lands and property – it has Zionists hands all over it!

Besides, they have the HAARP technology that can turn day into night and vice versa. And cloudy weathers into dangerous storms. And vice versa. And twilight into dawn and evening into night (um…maybe the last part happens on its own). Some researchers also argue that the deceptive behavior of the moon on the eve of Eid (like this year Saudi Arabia saw a moon that was not even there. But how can they make a mistake?) may also be a manipulation of the HAARP technology, meant obviously at deepening the fissures in the exemplary unity of Muslim Ummah.

Although a notable singer (read scholar…ok don’t), had a minor disagreement with others when he said that the flood was actually an azaab from God and not a Zionist conspiracy, it had me a little mixed up – so what was it. A sign from God or a Zionist conspiracy – or worse still, both, which meant that God was siding with the Zionists this time. Fiery words were exchanged between proponents of each side. Anti-Zionists finally discovered that the scholar was a RAW-agent-in-disguise and said that he should be stoned to death; whereas the scholar passed the verdict that these anti-Zionists were committing blasphemy by pinning God’s deeds on Zionists and thus should be killed publicly by anyone willing (he also mentioned that the one to do so will immediately get a one-way ticket to heaven.)

The conspiracies of our enemies don’t end here. A friend recently revealed that the Arab Spring, the bulk of anti-government movements that have surfaced around the Arab world, is actually according to Zionist agendas. It is meant to pave the way for Greater Israel. In fact, Gaddafi had been forced by the Zionists to leave his throne and the people we saw on the streets in videos and on TV have been created by a highly sophisticated video-editing technology. Doubts have been raised as to whether it’s the same technology that was used in the famous ‘fake’ video against a very pious televangelist or an advanced version of it.

Coming back to the matter at hand, the dengue virus has gone out of control. A constant reinforcement of infidel mosquitoes from across the border has rendered it virtually impossible for the government to contain it. The gear these mosquitoes are wearing has been specially imported from Israel which makes them more resistant to the local climate and therefore, more lethal... 

Wow, are we ever diabolically powerful! That said, for a deranged piece of conspiracist claptrap incorporating both Zionhass and magical thinking--or even for satire, if that's indeed what this is--that was really rather enjoyable.

What Price Freedom? Who Cares, Sez Bernie, As Long As We're "Civil"

The former head of the now-defunct Canadian Jewish Congress (defunct at least in part because its former head turned it into a wimpy, tikkun olamish "social justice" outfit) is still on the ramparts championing our godawful, Stalinesque "human rights" racket. (It couldn't be that, in the wake of his failed political bid, he's trolling for gainful employment as a "human rights" commissioner, could it?) He writes in the Ottawa Citizen (h/t BCF):

Those who wish to abolish human rights commissions focus on small aspects of human rights law, arguing that the language pertaining to hatred and vilification puts the entire human rights machinery into disrepute. Instead of suggesting changes to perceived restrictive human rights legislation or working to modify burdensome administrative issues, they instead demand we throw the baby out with the bathwater.

A civil society is best judged by the way it treats its most vulnerable. Ethnic and faith minorities, sexuality or gender-based minorities, people of colour and those with physical and mental challenges have historically been fodder for those who are less kind within society. Human rights commissions and codes were developed to help level the playing field for the less fortunate, those targeted as victims of discrimination. And with bumps and bruises, it works. Of course, we have a responsibility to ensure the infrastructure and regulations do not become such that the scales tip the other way. We must always be vigilant to ensure a fair balance, and fix the system when necessary.

Oh, no! Not the dreaded "baby/bathwater" shtick again. As I've mentioned practically every time he trots that one out: the baby's diseased; the bathwater's toxic; throw 'em both out.

Bernie's problem, as always, is that he's more concerned about "civility" than he is about freedom. And that kind of orientation gives rise to societies--Soviet Russia, Mao's China, Saudi Arabia, Iran--that have plenty of civility, oodles of civility, and plenty of forces policing that civility, but not a scrap of freedom. So when it comes to a contest between civility and freedom, sorry, Bernie, I'll take freedom every time. Even if it means people will be able so say mean and hateful things about me, things I find upsetting and offensive.

I can understand why Bernie thinks the way he does. He's the child of a Holocaust survivor and he's a squishy lefty, a double whammy that all but ensures he'll be fore'er on the lookout for resurgent Nazis and want to stifle their words lest they give rise to a Shoah II. To him and those like him who would ratchet back our freedom, I would only point out this: the kind of limits to freedom you demand existed in Weimar Germany, and Adolf Hitler still came to power. However, an argument could (and, moreover, must) be made that had free speech been allowed to flourish in Hitler's Germany--which, of course, it most definitely was not--there might never have been a Holocaust.

The baby and the bathwater have both got to go

Flagrant "Transphobia" in the Toronto Sun!

Watch out, guys. This one--it's about Kelly Osbourne's rage when she found out her that her finance was messing around with a pre-op transsexual--could land you in deep doo-doo with the Hallacious Barbara's "human rights" cretins.

Have You Heard About the Khomeinist Who May Have Walked into a Wahhabist Trap?

No? Neither have I. That's because our media are still completely flumoxed as to why a nice imam from Edmonton would have been waylaid during Hajj by Wahhabi religious police. No need to dig now, however, since he's been released from jail due in part to the intercession of a London-based outfit called the Islamic Human Rights Commission. And since, going strictly by the name, that must be a ripping organization doing all sorts of wonderful human-rightsy things, no need to ask any questions about what it's up to, right? So when a cursory Google search turns up a piece in the Telegraph informing us that

The IHRC is a Khomeinist group. It campaigns for imprisoned extremists such as the "Blind Sheikh", Omar Abdel Rahman, currently serving a life sentence in the US for his part in the first blowing-up of the World Trade Centre in 1993.

The IHRC's chairman, Massoud Shadjareh criticised the prosecution of Abu Hamza in 2006, claiming that the conviction created "an environment that can only further alienate the Muslim community". The IHRC also organises the annual al-Quds day parade in London – an event instituted by that well-known champion of human rights, Ayatollah Khomeini.

I suppose it behoves us to ignore it. In the name of puppies and bunnies and rainbows and unicorns and all the other cuddly things that "human rights" means, I mean.
