Islamofascists are engaged in a form of “viral” warfare against us. Their propaganda, internet sites, madrassas, their clerics in western mosques, theological scholarly writings and their planting of Islamist Imams in our prison system and military serve a dual purpose.

One is obvious - recruiting new members of organized terrorist cells.

The other is more subtle, and in some ways, more sinister: the viral creation of “loose cannon” terrorists - unaffiliated Islamist terrorists, a phenomenon called Sudden Jihad Syndrome by Daniel Pipes. These isolated Jihadis cause frequent terrorist attacks in the US and elsewhere, which are almost always mis-characterized by the media - probably out of their multi-culturalist instinct to not “create hysteria” against Muslims.

As a result of this media dishonesty, Americans are sadly under-informed about the threat of these increasingly dangerous viral terrorists.

A few of the “Unaffiliated Terrorist” events in the US include:

• March 1, 1999 - Abu Maizar was sentenced to life in New York City for a thwarted attempt to kill Jews by bombing a subway train in a Jewish area.
• July 4, 2002 - Barely-legal Egyptian immigrant Hadayet shot 6, wounding 2 at LAX El Al counter.
• October 2002 - The Beltway Snipers killed at least 10 people in a cross-country terror spree. One of the men, Muhammad, was a former member of the Islamic hate group, Nation of Islam. The other, Malvo, produced Islamist writings and drawings. Many other ties to Islamism have been found. While these psychopaths might have engaged in a murder spree in any case, certainly both were adherents to Islamist ideologiesm which provided convenient excuses for their actions. Mohammad was given a death sentence for engaging in terrorism.
• September 2005 - Four members of Assembly of Authentic Islam were indicted for a large scale terrorist plot against Jews in LA. These American Islamists were recruited in Folsom prison.
• March 3, 2006 - Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar and an Iranian immigrant struck 9 people with an SUV. He said he acted to ” avenge the deaths of Muslims around the world.”
• July 28, 2006 - Naveed Afzal Haq attacked the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. He told a 9-11 operator “These are Jews. I’m tired of getting pushed around, and our people getting pushed around by the situation in the Middle East.”
• December 9, 2006 - Muslim convert Derrick Shareef, was arrested for attempting to buy hand grenades to use during the Christmas season at a Chicago-area shopping mall.

The Supreme Court has ruled that non-Americans held at Guantanamo have a right to use American courts.

Once again, the Court is acting in an insane manner. One wonders how they discovered this right in the same Constitution that did not give that right to 2,000,000 enemy POWs at the end of World War II.

This will significantly damage our ability to interrogate prisoners, ultimately leading to many more American deaths.

The Supreme Court has shown that it has yet to wake up to the threats facing America.

Imagine, if you will, Bin Laden, upon capture, being read his Miranda Rights and then refusing to talk without a lawyer present. Imagine one of those who decapitated an American given the right to a lawyer.

Half of America is not ready to fight a war. As our enemies decapitate our citizens, our courts give them the rights previously due only to people in our country. And of course the main stream media and the Democrats are doing their best to convert the Iraq war into Vietnam.

We are not fighting an honorable enemy. We are fighting evil savages. We are fighting people who do not recognize any concept of rights.

But don’t tell the Supreme Court - it might disurb their slumber.

One wonders what it will take to wake up America? A nuke in the Supreme Court chambers? A dirty bomb in Manhattan? Whatever, the surviving perpetrators will have rights granted by the court.

The birds must have looked down with envy Saturday, as Indian dancers, drummers and singers dressed in their finest feathers, skins and bells gathered for a Pow Wow to celebrate Berkeley’s 12th annual Indigenous Peoples Day at Civic Center Park.
The birds were wondering if *their* feathers were next! Where were the animal rights protesters? Were the feathers and skins artificial and made in China (like many of the “Indian” souveneirs available along old Route 66)? At least the wearers were safe, since Native Americans are the only Americans who are not sent to jail for posssession of eagle feathers! Consistency is not a characteristic of the left.

As widely reported, The Young Conservatives of Texas had a bake sale at SMU in which the cookies were offered at different prices, depending on the race and gender of the buyer.

The sale, a guerilla theater protest of affirmative action, was shut down by university officials, who apparently allow only the left, racial preference groups, and admission policies to offend people.

“We thought it would be a good idea just because we were trying to raise awareness of affirmative action,” said David Rushing, chairman of the Young Conservatives of Texas on ABCNEWS’ Good Morning America

“It’s no more hurtful than college administrators’ affirmative action admissions programs,” Rushing said.

The price was $1 for white males, $.75 for white women, $.50 for Hispanics and $.25 for blacks.

It had been reported that only three cookies were sold, raising $1.50. Simple mathematics shows that at least one member of a favored group must have bought a cookie, leading to the obvious question: how many cookies were sold to members of the “offended” favored groups?. Naturally, the professional media failed to ask this potentially embarrassing question, so we did.

In an email response to Useful Fools, David Rushing, chairman of the Young Conservatives of Texas, wrote:

We sold one cookie to a white student, and 2 cookies to black students. To my knowledge, no cookies were stolen.

Hmmm…

In Dissecting Leftism, Dr. John Ray attacks the claim that the Leftism of college professors is the outcome of their high intelligence. He counters that Mensa, whose only membership requirement is an IQ in the top 2%, has a disproportionately Libertarian membership.

At a UC Riverside Senate meeting :

the senate also voted to approve a mural [showing Shakespearean actors] to be placed in the Commons. There was some concern voiced by the senate about the contents of the mural.

“I see some pilgrim invaders here,” said Elisa Haro, academic affairs director. “It kind of reminds me of my colonization, and I don’t like that.”
This gal is her own parody!

Other concerns with the mural included the depiction of white cranes, which the senate demanded be changed to color cranes.

We gotta be careful of those racist cranes!

They were also concerned with the lack of a same sex couple depicted, which the artist agreed to add. The senate voted to approve the mural in light of the adjustments being made.

It passed? Without transgendered people? Without noble Native Americans? Without a hammer and sickle? Or maybe these just weren’t mentioned.

[NOTE: Environuts are hammered in this other post.]

Jon Ray at PC Watch excerpts a book which makes the point that multiculturalism is an ersatz religion with it’s own securlar theocracy.

Take a look.

The Supreme Court has ruled that the government, in the form of the University of Michigan Law School, can use race as a criteria in its decisions, but only if it counts a little bit. In a simultaneous ruling, race is disallowed if it used too much.

In the process, the Supreme Court defined a “diverse” student body as a “compelling [government] interest” - compelling enough to bypass the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution as extended through the 14th Amendment. If a “diverse student body” is a compelling government interest, what about the War on Terrorism? What about “Protecting our Children [trademark Hillary]?” What isn’t a compelling government interest, to a court so focussed on tangential issues? Setting the bar so low for the compelling interest test opens up a vast range of constitutional abuses.

Many “civil libertarians” will cheer this decision. What will they say if the court finds a compelling interest in the diversity of ideas at a university, and mandates an ideological filter on professors, carefully balancing them between the current political ideas?

What if a state legislature requires the teaching of Biblical Creationism? Violation of First Amendment? Nope… compelling interest trumps - at least for that state government.

Equality under law is arguably the most fundamental principle of America, one motivating many of those who fought and died in the Civil War, and one which has been at the basis of many of the important social justice movements in our history. It has a history of progress, from the end of slavery to women’s sufferage.

But now, it is in retreat. Equality under law, and all other constitutional guarantees, are now subject to a whimsical “compelling government interest” test.

This ruling is a travesty. It is yet another case where the court is choosing to legislate, using the sham of “compelling government interest” to impose its ideological views. The court seeks to provide an advantage to “minority students”, but it dare not say so. Instead it hides behind a trivial and silly idea - diversity.

Today was a sad day in central Arizona. One thousand people turned out for the funeral of Lance Cpl. Mike Williams, a Marine killed in Iraq. On 9/11/1991, Mr. Williams owned a small business. After the events of that day, Mr. Williams decided to help his country any way he could. Consequently, he sold his business and joined the Marines. Almost two years of difficult training and fighting later, Mike was killed in a firefight in Iraq while defending his country.

Mike was honored by a crowd of 1000 and was buried in Phoenix’s National Cemetary.

Five other Arizona servicepeople have been killed in Iraq.
