		<description>&quot;There is no remorse in the families of the killers, just anger at our system for not understanding their &lt;strike&gt;needs&lt;/strike&gt; &quot;culture&quot;.  -- amendment to the posting by entagor on January 3, 2008 at 11:31 AM
-------------------------------

Brings to mind the quote from British General Sir Charles James Napier regarding the Indian practice of suttee:
“You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.” 
.

When folks emigrate to this country, they need to accept our culture as well:  they need to acknowledge the primacy of WESTERN law, not Sharia.  We do NOT accept that women have half the value of men.  We do NOT accept that the greatest commandment is to bring the world to Islam; we reject the preaching of Islamist imams that any methods including violence and terrorism are forgivable, necessary, even noble, for the purpose of establishing Islam and the dominance of the Caliphate worldwide. 
. 

I also believe it&#039;s high time our government should screen prospective immigrants a little more carefully.  Muslims should be rejected.  Islam is is not just religion in a spiritual, commune-with-God sense; it considers itself to be a &quot;complete way of life&quot;.  If you are Muslim you are required to follow Islam&#039;s laws regarding business, inheritance, public order, morality, you name it.  Sharia REQUIRES lashing of men, stoning of women, for adultery.  Sharia stipulates that the rod you beat your wife with should be no bigger in diameter than your thumb.  Sharia REQUIRES that &quot;pagans&quot; be converted or killed.  Jews and Christians have a choice: a heavy tax (jizya) and &quot;humiliation&quot; -- severe restrictions on how they worship, they must wear distinctive dress, bow to all Muslims (their superiors), they can&#039;t build new churches or temples, they must get permission to repair existing churches/temples, etc, etc.  Or they can choose to convert to Islam or to die.  (PS- the Quran congratulates itself for the &quot;mercy&quot; it shows to &quot;people of the book&quot;... Don&#039;t you just love diversity, now?)  Islam is incompatible with Western precepts.  Islam is incompatible with democracy, with freedom of speech, freedom of worship --the whole Bill of Rights; it doesn&#039;t tolerate scientific inquiry, any kind of representational art, nor capitalism, nor our government &quot;of, by, and for the people&quot;.</description>

		<description>Dishonor.  Who was dishonored, Islam or the fathers narrow mind?

The nail was hit when the issue of Islam comes to the for in instances such as dishonor killings or disrupting flights.  Then Islamic leaders claim the uninformed are paranoid.  The fact is that such barbarism, which is the Sunni belief, is OK and they are going to force it upon everyone and we are going to like it or face the consequences.  

Such actions are identical to the &quot;Black Panther&quot; movements.  Using the good book to provide a reason to do something that is not generally accepted by the majority gives followers a sense of entitlement their actions are OK because it is their religion.  If others do not agree with their religion they can use their race and claim the opposition is bigoted which stings more than not understanding their religion.

There is a reason separation of church and state exists other that the constitutional argument.  Religion is a personal belief that is not shared by everyone.  

That is why in bars mixoligists claim the two subjects that are not part of the establishments fare-politics and religion.  Keep it to yourself rather than stir up trouble with the populous while your mind is in an altered state.</description>

I broadly spread the word and recommend reading the Koran on all fitting occasions. To date all &#039;appearent&#039; lefties have dismissed reading the Koran as childish, silly and not to be considered.</description>

		<description>Seixon on January 3, 2008 at 9:23 AM

Seixon nailed it. It&#039;s all about their PC, multi-culti, one-world, one culture, no borders, anti-Capitalistic, anti-American, anti-nationalism/patriotism of any kind, idealistic/Utopic socialism. This is their mega agenda. Everything, large/small, which interferes with it, is either berated/ignored or litigated.

Note that I did not list secularism - surprisingly they overlook the most archaic, barbaric, criminal means, even if executed in the name of bizarre religious norms, to advance their grand agenda.

Of note, that all these elements are their &#039;zenith&#039; to our &#039;abyss&#039;. Therefore the leftie media, the UN and the other leftie world bodies remain silent, if not critical of us.

Surprisingly it&#039;s not fear which drives them, though the wild ones would kill them first because they thoroughly disagree with their laissez-faire lifestyle.

Myriad discusstions with European, otherwise intelligent acquaintances, prove all this over, and over, and over. Until one day it will be too late, or something shakes them, and us, into reality. Survival is a powerful thing, when the threat gets very close. We can&#039;t let our guard down, regardless of their forces. They are definitely, on the ideas field, on the side of the bad ones.</description>

		<description>The left is not only silent, evidently they actively defend their silence by making grotesque comparisons and excuses. They&#039;re lower than whale shit.

This case and poor Aqsaa are PRECISELY the kind of stories the national press waters at the mouth over - a tragic end of beautiful young girls, in this case murderer still on the loose and, even more tragically, the father of the two girls.

But he&#039;s a Muslim, so I guess the MSM isn&#039;t about sensationalism after all - they&#039;re about anti-Westernism. And cowardice, and that old journalistic classic, afflicting the weak and comforting the thug.

But the left sure can shower us with excuses and distractions, can&#039;t they?</description>

The reason why the left says nothing is that they hate Christians. Radical Muslims hate Christians. So… the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

In the end it’s all about hating Christians.

Mojave Mark on January 3, 2008 at 11:50 AM
&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You are right, but let&#039;s make sure we take the &quot;left hating Christians&quot; aspect in a non-paranoid way.  Hating Christianity is not the primary goal of the left.  It&#039;s just issues on which a certain definition of Christianity has fought a certain leftism.  We need to convince the left that some other struggles are more important.  We need to make the abortion and gay struggles less important overall so we can unite against a common enemy.  I think we can convince the left of the benefits of Christian tinge to our culture and that there are greater enemies out there.  It is a challenge to communicate these values to that moderate part of the left that will listen, but it is vital that we do.</description>

<p>You are right, but let&#8217;s make sure we take the &#8220;left hating Christians&#8221; aspect in a non-paranoid way.  Hating Christianity is not the primary goal of the left.  It&#8217;s just issues on which a certain definition of Christianity has fought a certain leftism.  We need to convince the left that some other struggles are more important.  We need to make the abortion and gay struggles less important overall so we can unite against a common enemy.  I think we can convince the left of the benefits of Christian tinge to our culture and that there are greater enemies out there.  It is a challenge to communicate these values to that moderate part of the left that will listen, but it is vital that we do.</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;If that were true, wouldn’t it be happening, I don’t know, hundreds of times a day around the world? Or are you suggesting it IS happening hundreds of times a day, and nobody’s reporting it?

Last but not least, I think it’s hard to say that this will go on unchallenged. The guy from Dallas will have to report to a higher power than Islam, that being the state of Texas. And he’ll deservedly face the death penalty. I suspect that will be one hell of a deterrent to his neighbor down the street, won’t it?

Why would this be reported in a Muslim country?  It isn&#039;t news there.  It isn&#039;t always reported in a non-Muslim country.

This guy just might get a good Lefty lawyer and some wind behind him from the Liberal press.  Don&#039;t plug the chair in just yet.

The Muslim neighbor could be more inspired by this than fear killing his daughter since she doesn&#039;t follow Islamic/Semitic cultural norms.  Nice time for a Muslim cleric to get up and say how this is not part of Islam, but I don&#039;t expect that soon since it is part of Islam.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;The fact that the left has remained silent on three homicides, out of the mere 15,000 murders every year in America, even though one of these murders didn’t actually happen in America, proves that they are, umm, well I don’t know what that proves. Something sinister, no doubt.

Snark aside, isn’t it a little ridiculous to be criticizing somebody for failing to condemn murder? Can’t we assume that most good people are against murder, regardless of motive? [...]

Depends on the meaning of &#039;good people&#039;. To paraphrase:

/Snark aside, isn’t it a little ridiculous to be criticizing &lt;em&gt;Germans&lt;/em&gt; for failing to condemn murder of &lt;em&gt;Jews&lt;/em&gt;? Can’t we assume that most good people are against murder, regardless of motive?/ end of paraphrase-

One thing I hated about living in Dearborn was the inevitable yearly honor killings in the local news which were not reported with the same understanding as if a headless torso was found behind a porno shop. Community leaders did not as a group stand to condemn the killings. There were not special counselers sent to local schools, or training sessions for students to emphasize the evil of these killings and the necessity to notify authorities of fellow students at risk. 

It was reported as a bad thing on the same order as a local traffic accident. Fearful of offending the sensibilities of multicultural forces who show up on election day, the folk at the top did not want to touch this very serious issue.

That is how evil continues, when a community looks the other way lest they be required to get involved and  &lt;em&gt;verbally beat the crap out of these so-called assimilated Americans so they understand it will not be tolerated.&lt;/em&gt; There is no remorse in the families of the killers, just anger at our system for not understanding their needs</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt; I suspect that will be one hell of a deterrent to his neighbor down the street, won’t it?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Short answer: No.

Long answer:  The neighbour will take the girls back to wherever and kill them there without recourse.  And nary a peep from the militant feminists.
Because why would militant feminists in America care if they honor kill their children in other countries, female circumcize their girls, stop girls from going to school once they have their menstruation, send their children to be the suicide bombs, arrange their 14 year old girls to marry 40 year old men?  
That&#039;s the part the bugs me - militant feminists brag about being so &quot;ear to the ground&quot; about women&#039;s rights.  Where are they when stuff like this happens?

Disclaimer: I am a feminist just not what would define a militant feminist - ones who say &quot;men are idiots&quot;, &quot;women are the bestest ever&quot;, &quot;men and women are exactly, precisely the same and can do exactly the same jobs&quot;, blah, blah blah.  If you disagree with them, you&#039;re just an idiot who doesn&#039;t understand.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;By conservative estimates, 66,000 women and girls living in Britain have been mutilated. This figure, accepted by the Metropolitan Police, came in a report by a volunteer organisation funded by the Department of Health and carried out with academics from the London School of Tropical Hygiene and the City University.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;A more cynical person than I would suggest complaining the incident didn’t appear on Daily Kos would be using this story to bash liberals, not to further the cause of Muslim women’s rights. But what do I know, it’s my first day on the planet.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I don&#039;t see your point.  It is more efficient to try to accomplish two goals at the same time.  Why wouldn&#039;t a conservative concerned about the fate of Islamic woman also want to contrast his concern with the left&#039;s indifference?  Furthermore, the left, in almost every argument, tries to conflate their concerns about allegedly oppressed classes with their claimed moral superiority to the right.  

To be clear, I really do mean in &quot;almost every argument&quot; in the last sentence.  It is  not meant as hyperbole.  That the left resorts to such a tactic almost always does show a intellectual impoverishment. Conservatives have a larger menu of arguments.</description>

Under Sharia law, its essentialy LEGAL, so not reported.  There is in some countries a FINE attatched, kind of equivalent to Drunk Driving here in America... which once again does not get reported...

Its only in Western countries that it is reported on, as we consider it murder under the law.</description>

		<description>.&lt;em&gt; And he’ll deservedly face the death penalty. I suspect that will be one hell of a deterrent to his neighbor down the street, won’t it?&lt;/em&gt;

What world do you live in? Death is no deterrent to his &quot;neighbor&quot; if they are radical Islam. In fact, they see it as an honor. 

Good grief.

And do not believe for one second that if these were &quot;honor killings&quot; done by Christians, the left would be all over it. 

The simple fact is that to the left, the right cannot be right about radical Islam. No matter the vast amount of evidence that we are right.

We fight an evil that the left refuses to acknowledge. Which is the point of this post.</description>
