Jews Get Killed, Muslims Whine

STEYN: JEWS GET KILLED, MUSLIMS WHINE

Steyn puts the HOLY WAR: ISLAM'S GENOCIDE AGAINST THE JEWS and the media's happy complicity into a searing editorial and states the obvious. Steyn nails it and says what everyone else is afraid to. It is a stunning indictment of the media the political elites and the international submission to I-slam.

Righteous gentiles. Shame on the Jewicidals that go along with this genocidal death speak.

Mark Steyn: Jews get killed, but Muslims feel vulnerable (hat tip Larwyn)

Greater Mumbai forms one of the world's five biggest cities. It has a population of nearly 20 million. But only one Jewish center, located in a building that gives no external clue as to the bounty waiting therein. An "accidental hostage scene" that one of the "practitioners" just happened to stumble upon? "I must be the luckiest jihadist in town. What are the odds?"

Meanwhile, the New Age guru Deepak Chopra laid all the blame on American foreign policy for "going after the wrong people" and inflaming moderates, and "that inflammation then gets organized and appears as this disaster" in Mumbai.

Really? The inflammation just "appears"? Like a bad pimple? The "fairer" we get to the, ah, inflamed militant practitioners, the unfairer we get to everyone else. At the Chabad House, the murdered Jews were described in almost all the Western media as "ultra-Orthodox," "ultra-" in this instance being less a term of theological precision than a generalized code for "strange, weird people, nothing against them personally, but they probably shouldn't have been over there in the first place."

Are they stranger or weirder than their killers? Two "inflamed moderates" entered the Chabad House, shouted "Allahu Akbar!," tortured the Jews and murdered them, including the young rabbi's pregnant wife. Their 2-year-old child escaped because of a quick-witted (non-Jewish) nanny who hid in a closet and then, risking being mowed down by machine-gun fire, ran with him to safety.

The Times was being silly in suggesting this was just an "accidental" hostage opportunity – and not just because, when Muslim terrorists capture Jews, it's not a hostage situation, it's a mass murder-in-waiting. The sole surviving "militant" revealed that the Jewish center had been targeted a year in advance. The 28-year-old rabbi was Gavriel Holtzberg. His pregnant wife was Rivka Holtzberg. Their orphaned son is Moshe Holtzberg, and his brave nanny is Sandra Samuels. Remember their names, not because they're any more important than the Indians, Britons and Americans targeted in the attack, but because they are an especially revealing glimpse into the pathologies of the perpetrators.

In a well-planned attack on iconic Mumbai landmarks symbolizing great power and wealth, the "militants" nevertheless found time to divert 20 percent of their manpower to torturing and killing a handful of obscure Jews helping the city's poor in a nondescript building. If they were just "teenage gunmen" or "militants" in the cause of Kashmir, engaged in a more or less conventional territorial dispute with India, why kill the only rabbi in Mumbai? Dennis Prager got to the absurdity of it when he invited his readers to imagine Basque separatists attacking Madrid: "Would the terrorists take time out to murder all those in the Madrid Chabad House? The idea is ludicrous."

And yet we take it for granted that Pakistani "militants" in a long-running border dispute with India would take time out of their hectic schedule to kill Jews. In going to ever more baroque lengths to avoid saying "Islamic" or "Muslim" or "terrorist," we have somehow managed to internalize the pathologies of these men.

We are enjoined to be "understanding," and we're doing our best. A Minnesotan suicide bomber (now there's a phrase) originally from Somalia returned to the old country and blew up himself and 29 other people last October. His family prevailed upon your government to have his parts (or as many of them as could be sifted from the debris) returned to the United States at taxpayer expense and buried in Burnsville Cemetery. Well, hey, in the current climate, what's the big deal about a federal bailout of jihad operational expenses? If that's not "too big to fail," what is?

Last week, a Canadian critic reprimanded me for failing to understand that Muslims feel "vulnerable." Au contraire, they project tremendous cultural confidence, as well they might: They're the world's fastest-growing population. A prominent British Muslim announced the other day that, when the United Kingdom becomes a Muslim state, non-Muslims will be required to wear insignia identifying them as infidels. If he's feeling "vulnerable," he's doing a terrific job of covering it up.

We are told that the "vast majority" of the 1.6 billion to 1.8 billion Muslims (in Deepak Chopra's estimate) are "moderate." Maybe so, but they're also quiet. And, as the AIDS activists used to say, "Silence=Acceptance." It equals acceptance of the things done in the name of their faith. Rabbi Holtzberg was not murdered because of a territorial dispute over Kashmir or because of Bush's foreign policy. He was murdered in the name of Islam – "Allahu Akbar."

I wrote in my book, "America Alone," that "reforming" Islam is something only Muslims can do. But they show very little sign of being interested in doing it, and the rest of us are inclined to accept that. Spread a rumor that a Quran got flushed down the can at Gitmo, and there'll be rioting throughout the Muslim world. Publish some dull cartoons in a minor Danish newspaper, and there'll be protests around the planet. But slaughter the young pregnant wife of a rabbi in Mumbai in the name of Allah, and that's just business as usual. And, if it is somehow "understandable" that for the first time in history it's no longer safe for a Jew to live in India, then we are greasing the skids for a very slippery slope. Muslims, the AP headline informs us, "worry about image." Not enough.

Religious Head Incites Mumbai Attack

Religious head incited killers

Bruce Loudon, South Asia correspondent | December 01, 2008

Article from: The Australian http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/

THE al-Qa'ida-linked Lashkar-e-Toiba terrorists suspected over the Mumbai massacre were trained in Muzaffarabad, capital of Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, and were incited by speeches from their leader in Lahore.

As the sole surviving terrorist was interrogated in Mumbai, security sources told The Australian that 10 terrorists were picked by LET for the suicide mission.

They were ordered to "kill until your last breath" and murder up to 5000 people.

They did so after provocative speeches by Hafiz Mohammed Saeed last month in Lahore, capital of the Punjab.

Saeed, described as LET's supreme religious and political head, declared in one speech: "The only language India understands is that of force, and that is the language it must be talked to in."

The email claiming responsibility for the Mumbai attack minutes after it started last Wednesday was generated on a computer based in Pakistan.

And a satellite telephone captured from the terrorists revealed calls made to numbers in Pakistan during the attacks, reports said.

Officials said the terrorists' route to Mumbai had been recorded on GPS co-ordinates contained in the satellite phones.

Sources said the 10 terrorists -- most of whom were believed to be Pakistanis -- were ordered to undergo training to attack Mumbai.

The captured gunman, Ajmal Amir Kamal, 21, reportedly told intelligence sources the group had trained openly in Muzaffarabad before heading to the nearby Mangala dam for lessons in marine commando techniques.

The group then visited Rawalpindi, which adjoins Islamabad, the Pakistan capital and site of the Pakistan army headquarters.

From there, the group took a train to the port city of Karachi, where, heavily armed, they boarded a freighter for the trip to Mumbai. Along the way, they became nervous about Indian coastguard activity and almost aborted the mission.

They "dragooned" a less conspicuous, passing fishing boat into service, shooting dead four of its crew members. The skipper of the fishing boat and another crew member took them closer to Mumbai before they, too, were killed. One was decapitated and the other had his throat slit.

Close to shore, they transferred to small speedboats for the run into the two landing points they had selected in Mumbai - Sassoon Docks and Badhwar Park, on Cuff Parade.

Conflicting evidence obtained by intelligence agencies suggests that the group may have had local support, and that one or more of its members may have been staying locally, possibly even in the Taj Mahal hotel.

A British link to the attacks was raised over the weekend when a senior Indian official claimed that Britons were among the militants.

Vilasrao Deshmukh, the chief minister of Maharashtra state, in which Mumbai lies, was quoted on an Indian television station as saying that British citizens had been detained.

British MP Patrick Mercer, a former Tory security spokesman, said he had been given information that at least two of the terrorists had credit cards and other identifying documents that linked them to Dewsbury, West Yorkshire, in northeast England.

The claims, however, were not substantiated by official British sources, who said there was no evidence "at this stage" that Britons had taken part in the attacks, although they acknowledged that events were "moving fast" and more information was emerging about the nationality of the terrorists.

MI5 and British counter-terrorist police are keeping in close touch with their counterparts in India and are alert to the possibility that Britons with Pakistani origins might have been involved. Significant numbers of young British Pakistanis have taken part in terrorist training in Pakistan.

British Prime Minister Gordon Brown said that there was no evidence of Britons being involved, and the Foreign Secretary David Miliband said: "We obviously will want to work very closely with the Indians but it is too early to say whether or not any of them are British."

Malaysian police are investigating reports that Malaysian-issued credit cards were found in the belongings of the terrorists involved in the Mumbai attacks.

Home Minister Syed Hamid Albar said Malaysia had no links with the terrorists, responding to an Indian report that nine of the gunmen claimed to be Malaysian students when they travelled to Mumbai several months ago.

Terror analyst Praveen Swami said that at a meeting of key LET leaders in Lahore on October 19, LET leader Saeed, who insists he is only head of the Jamaat-ud-Dawa welfare organisation, made plain his view of Pakistan's neighbour.

"India, he claimed, was building dams in (Indian-controlled) Jammu and Kashmir to choke Pakistan's water supplies and cripple its agriculture," Mr Swami reported Saeed as saying.

"Earlier, in an October 6 speech, Saeed claimed that India had 'made a deal with the United States to send 150,000 Indian troops to Afghanistan' and that it agreed to support the US in its existential war against Islam.

"Finally, in a sermon to a congregation at the Jamia Masjid al-Qudsia (mosque) in Lahore at the end of October, Saeed proclaimed that there was an 'ongoing war in the world between Islam and its enemies'.

"He claimed that 'crusaders of the East and West have united in a cohesive onslaught against Muslims'."

Mumbai To Minneapolis

From Mumbai to Minneapolis, WHY it WILL happen here

By Douglas J. Hagmann, Director

1 December 2008: I hope everyone takes a really deep, hard look at what happened last week in Mumbai, India, and at the terrorists who perpetrated the attack. And I hope this is done quickly, with a high degree of intellectual honesty and without the encumbrance of political correctness. The safety of every American, Canadian, Australian, and all Westerners, in fact depends on it, as does the security of our respective nations.

If recent history provides us any insight, however, we will fall woefully short in our official analysis of this event, and fail to learn the lessons of Mumbai. We’ve already demonstrated this pattern of failure in the many instances since 2001. Although there is enough blame to go around, I will place special blame squarely at the feet of a select few: members within our current administration, who have succumbed to the pressures and influences of such special interest groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations to needlessly convolute the facts about Islamic terrorism; the corporate media, for their failure to call an Islamic terrorist an Islamic terrorist; some nationally syndicated political right-wing talk radio show hosts who have a platform and vast audience, but fail to use their programs to provide you with the whole truth, and many of you, who strive to be so liberal and open minded that quite simply, your brains spill to the floor.

Syndicated columnist Mark Steyn wrote last Friday that Mumbai could happen just about anywhere. He’s correct, and be forewarned, it will happen in America. It will happen in Canada. It will happen in Australia and just about any Western country you can name.

I have the ability, authority and have earned the right to make such a statement because I’ve personally investigated potential terrorists who are in this country that appear to be training for just such scenarios. I’ve published my investigative findings, complete with photographs, only to be called an alarmist, racist, bigoted, and religiously intolerant. I’ve seen my findings skewed by the media, who complain that they cannot find corroborating witnesses as they point cameras and shine lights on sources that fear for their safety. And I've garnered the wrath of a top Pakistani terror kingpin for exposing the activities of his followers here in the U.S. and Canada.

My investigative findings into one such Pakistani terrorist group, (Pakistan now suddenly being important, considering all of the dead bodies in Mumbai) Jamaat ul Fuqra, have been cited by the Regional Organized Crime Information Center in their 2006 special research report. Prolific author and researcher of Islamic terrorism, Dr. Paul Williams, devoted nearly an entire chapter to my findings in his recent book The Day of Islam.

Despite the evidence presented, there is an incredible disconnect from reality by otherwise rational and reasonable individuals, people in leadership, and some at higher levels in our own law enforcement and intelligence agencies. Why else would one treat with sickening malaise the existence of a bullet-ridden school bus situated on the grounds of a private Islamic commune located at the base of the Catskill Mountains in New York State? This would be the same Islamic compound “of Qu’ranic study” that is outfitted with a firing range, where area residents often hear the sounds of automatic and semi-automatic weapons fire.

How was this group dealt with by local community leaders? Not with the slightest scintilla of suspicion or even curiosity, but with a parade. An actual parade, through the streets of Binghamton, NY, to celebrate interfaith dialogue. What about law enforcement? Well, they consider this commune “good residents,” mostly because they have not had to respond to any “trouble calls” to that location.

The fact is this: there are well armed Muslim men and young boys who are training for urban combat terrorist scenarios inside the United States and Canada, as India continues the process of identifying their dead. I have seen them, and have documented their activities.

They don’t wear nametags that identify them with any particular Islamic terrorist organization, and are not limited to groups like LeT and Jamaat ul Fuqra, but make no mistake: they all adhere to the same philosophy and ideology taught by fundamentalist Islam, and their training is derived directly from the texts, manuals, and videos authored and published by al Qaeda.

Such groups here are well funded, in many cases by receiving money from Saudi Arabia through mosques and Islamic Centers. In cases like Jamaat ul Fuqra, they establish charities, and send their money to top terrorist leader Sheikh Mubarek ali Gilani, who in turn uses those funds to recruit, equip and expand his terrorist network.


Westerners in general, and Americans specifically have a serious case of memory deficit disorder. This disorder will continue until the hallways of the Waldorf Astoria in New York, and the concourses at the Mall of America, for example, run with the blood of innocent men, women and children who have died because we have failed properly and unapologetically deal with the threat of Islamic terrorism within this country.

For economic and political reasons, we are being lied to everyday about the actual threat level that exists in this country and in Canada. And without asking even the most basic questions, the major media in this country perpetuate the lies of those in leadership who successfully hoodwink the masses by the carefully constructed use of catch-phrases like “no specific threat,” unsubstantiated threat, “no specific intelligence,” and my personal favorite, “no connection to terrorism” to nauseating extremes.

Now, the war in which we are engaged is being moved from the battlefield and relegated to U.S. courtrooms. This tactic started long before the Bush administration, but one that received his active support. It’s disingenuous and even silly to think that we can fight a war through our court system and expect to win. This has been demonstrated on numerous occasions since 9/11, and in a number of significant previous instances.

Now, it looks like we are about to turn our country over to “President-elect Barrack Hussein Obama,” a man who has unprecedented terrorist connections himself, and who has the full backing and support of numerous Muslim organizations that tacitly, if not actively condone the actions of Islamic terrorists. A mere seven years after the worst attacks on U.S. soil, Americans have chosen a man who might not even be eligible to serve as President. Since August, Obama has spent nearly one million dollars fighting at least 17 lawsuits to keep a single piece of paper – his birth certificate – under wraps.

One of his legal point men fighting at least one of the lawsuits also happens to be a lawyer for (and active member of) the aforementioned Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR), a group having a very special hand in formulating federal, state and local law enforcement policies, with the grace of our current administration. Coincidence? I think not.

To hell with the U.S. Constitution in that case, apparently. It only applies to the constitutional rights of Islamic terrorists, not the political elite. Apply constitutional requirements to the treatment of the Islamic terrorists who have killed, and want to kill us here in America, but dare not apply the requirements of that document to the manufactured "messiah."

Meanwhile, it appears that Obama will be the man selected to inherit the already fatally flawed war doctrine of the Bush administration and either by accident or design, will further endanger our national security, and the safety and security of every man, woman and child of the West.

Instead of a local parade celebrating interfaith dialogue on Main Street in Binghamton, NY, you can now expect one to be held on Pennsylvania Avenue. Instead of war prisoners being held in war prisons and tried as war criminals, you can now expect them to be thrust into the already overburdened criminal justice system.

There is something else you can expect, too. Expect to experience the carnage of Mumbai on any street in America, Canada, or Australia.

Mumbai Analysis

Mumbai: Analysis of an Islamic Terrorist Attack & Lessons to be Learned

By Randy Taylor, Independent Analyst

Another Shining Example of Islam’s Peace, Love and Tolerance

27 November 2008: Hundreds of people have been injured and over 100 are now dead in a most horrific terrorist attack in Mumbai, India in a series of well co-coordinated attacks launched by Muslim Terrorists. The words "Muslim" and "Terrorist" just seem so synonymous anymore. I move that we just start placing the word “Muslim” in the dictionary to describe the word “terrorist”. The multiple attacks on Wednesday night were very well coordinated, timed and executed. Also, it is important to point out that the terrorists were specifically selecting American and British citizens as they proceeded through the hotel in Mumbai, a decidedly Western target. That these terrorists specifically sought these people for hostages strongly suggests that the terrorist perpetrators were not merely an Indian Based mujahedeen group, despite the claims of some intelligence “experts.”

The group’s name, unknown until only recently is the “Deccan Mujahedeen;” the “Deccan Mujahedeen,” in my expert opinion, is nothing more than a “ghost” group - a name that was made up to further complicate the investigation and designed to throw the authorities off track. It is important to consider that Islamic terrorists are experts at propaganda, especially in the creation of “virtual” terrorist groups. This is a tactic that we have seen in Iraq, where the Islamic terrorists claim the existence of more groups than actually do exist. For example, consider the various terrorist videos that are posted and published on the Internet and occasionally shown on the television news. In my extensive research into the various terrorist organizations, I have collected a vast library of such films. Through exhaustive analysis, I’ve found the same films branded with logos from different terrorist organizations, yet further investigation finds that only about one-third of those organizations actually exist outside of the “virtual” realm. Quite simply, it is nothing more than propaganda designed to deceive us into thinking that there are more groups than actually exist.

For those who have been paying attention, these attacks in Mumbai carry all the hallmarks of an al Qaeda planned and coordinated attack. Nonetheless, the authorities and media have been all too quick to say that this was an Indian Muslim Mujahedeen attack by the “Deccan Mujahedeen,” an organization which, if you were to listen and believe the pundits and television intelligence experts, suddenly popped up from nowhere. The facts, however, based on my extensive research of Islamic terrorism and terrorist organizations, indicate otherwise. Although there might have been elements of a local cell from that group involved in the attacks, it is a near certainty that the planning, tactical training, financing and execution came from al Qaeda.

One critical element of these attacks must be highlighted: after the initial attacks began, at least one police van arrived on the scene which was actually occupied by terrorists – a 21st century Trojan horse. Upon arrival, the occupants of this police vehicle disembarked and began shooting at civilians. Whether the vehicle was previously stolen or cloned, this is a well documented al Qaeda technique that has appeared in their training manuals. This web site was one of the first to warn about these tactics, which are designed to implement a second wave of violence or attacks. This textbook tactic, which we have written about many times here in this past, is very effective at increasing the body count as well as causing additional confusion, chaos and psychological trauma. More importantly, we can expect this same Trojan horse tactic when the Islamic terrorists attack here again. So don’t be too relieved when that first or second police car or ambulance suddenly shows up, as it may carry further death with its arrival.

Another key indication that these attacks were originated and conducted by al Qaeda is their blatant search for tourists holding American or British passports. Again, they were after Western targets at Western assets or locations known to be frequented by Westerners - a tactic that suggests that the Indian Muslim Mujahedeen were not the perpetrators in control. Granted, they killed many Indians in the process, but the fact that they were specifically targeting Westerners is quite indicative of al Qaeda in origin, with at least some of the terrorists being “transplants” or imports from outside India.

If they manage to capture a few and perform some interrogations, we will most likely learn that these terrorists trained inside Afghan or Iraqi terrorist training camps. This type of mission requires training and more specifically, precise timing to coordinate attacks as these terrorists managed to do. Some analysts are also suggesting that the terrorists who perpetrated these attacks are purely Pakistani. Although to some this might appear logical, the fact that they purposely allowed some Hindus to escape indicate otherwise. Considering the vast and deep rivalry between India and Pakistan, combined with the active search for Americans and British again points to terrorists other than (or in addition to) those from active Pakistani organizations.

It is also significant that three of India’s top anti-terror cops were specifically targeted and killed, a very bold move and atypical of a local terror cell. Al Qaeda, on the other hand, would do this as a matter of routine.

When it comes to terrorism acts and where to place the blame, it is important to carefully examine all the oddities, objectively and without concern where the facts might lead. Like just about all matters pertaining to Islamic terrorist attacks, however, we may never hear the exact truth from the authorities through official sources. This is simply par for this particular course, which is a course rife with the sand traps of political correctness and religious ideologies amid the greens and fairways of a nation’s security. The official line might well be that these attacks were conducted by a “local” group, because India doesn’t want to admit that an outside group could hit them this easily. That’s pretty much what I expect as far as official statements.

As these attacks relate to us in the West, here in the United States and Canada, here is an important lesson for us: the terrorist entered through the Colaba shipyard. They arrived in a small boat, approximately ten men aboard. They came by sea, at 10:00 at night under the cover of darkness, at an unsecured entry point that allowed virtually unfettered access to a major city. For the most part, the terrorists then chose “soft targets,” those that would likely yield the largest body count and the most “bang for their buck.” Such a scenario could, and dare I say will play out in any city or town in the United States or Canada at any time. It doesn’t have to be a seaside town or city. Rivers and lakes allow the same access to many cities and towns here in the United States.

There was an advisory recently issued regarding mass transit attacks. This is and always has been a desired target of terrorists. We have to watch the “soft targets.. By definition, “soft targets” are any unprotected civilian target, which is indeed something to consider as you are doing your Christmas shopping this year. Remember, we are still at war, a war declared upon us by Islamic terrorists. While you are going about your business this season, keep your eyes open. Pay attention to your surroundings and the people in your immediate area. Watch for suspicious activity. Watch for people leaving parcels or bags and walking away. Notify police or security if you see anything odd.

If you see a suspicious parcel, DO NOT USE YOUR CELL PHONE TO CALL THE AUTHORITIES. Many bombs are detonated by cell phone. Remember that. If police or security start using radios and phones then MAKE SURE YOU ARE LONG GONE.

Our law enforcement are well aware that the Christmas season is an attractive target to terrorists with crowded malls, stores, churches and schools full of people. They are doing their best. Much of this falls on you to help them do their jobs. One police officer or security officer has only two eyes. Christmas shoppers have thousands of eyes.

Be safe. Stay vigilant. By the way, Happy Thanksgiving.
