Muslim chief slams 'police state' Britain, like Nazi Germany

Speaking outside the mosque shortly before the prayer session began, [Mohammad Naseem, chairman of Birmingham's Central Mosque] compared the current situation, and anti-terrorism legislation introduced in Britain in recent years, to Nazi Germany.

"The German people were told the Jews were a threat. The same thing is happening here. The Muslims are now the bogey people," he said. "It's a small community. It's easy to pick on them. That's what's being done."


A chairman of a mosque hiding behind the Jews. Interesting. I'll bet he doesn't have much to say when Ahmandinejad says Israel should be wiped off the map and all Jews should be exported to Europe.

As for what Naseem says about Muslims now being Jews in a Nazified Great Britain. Um, no.

I read a very good book last week by Richard J. Evans called The Third Reich in Power. It's the second in Evans' trilogy about the Reich, and it's the best book written about the Nazis since Shirer's Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It's chock full of info that nobody mentions anymore, and it shows just how evil the Nazis were, should we care to remember it.

Great Britain's anti-terror laws are not comparable to Nazi Germany's treatment of the Jews. Nobody's laws are, except Sharia Law itself, and the call to jihad for global domination and the destruction of the infidel.

Here's a small sample from Evans regarding Nazi Germany's laws vis a vis their own perceived infidels:

- people with two Jewish grandparents had to get permission from the Committee for the Protection of the German Blood if they wanted to marry a non-Jew.

- Jews were not citizens, but rather subjects of the state. They had no rights, including the right to free speech.

- the Law of 7 April 1933 banned Jews from the civil service, universities, teaching professions, and the judiciary.

- in 1935, a law was passed that declared Jewish and non-Aryan foreigners could not receive German citizenship.

- Jewish businesses were not allowed to advertise in the press from 1933 onwards.

- by the end of 1936, laws were passed that banned overseas transfers of Jewish-owned funds.

- Jews were banned from sports fields, public baths, and outdoor swimming pools.

- municipalities were authorized to ban Jews from streets and districts.

- Jews were banned from carrying firearms and offensive weapons.

- The Reich Chamber of Culture banned all Jews from cinemas, theaters, concerts, and exhibitions.

- Jews were stripped of their rights as tenants. They could now be evicted at any time.

- Municipalities could order Jews to sublet parts of their houses to other Jews.

- by 1939, all tax concessions were removed from Jews, including child benefits. Jews were now taxed at a single rate, the highest one in the Reich.

- all insurance payments owed to Jews after the 1938 pogrom were confiscated by the government; Jews had to pay for and clean up the mess left by the rioting.

- on February 21, 1939, all Jewish cash, securities and valuables (except wedding rings) were ordered to be put in blocked accounts; the Reich eventually seized these accounts.

And then, once the war started, the Nazis murdered millions of them. Great Britain like Nazi Germany? I think not.

From the Daily Mail (UK):

Global Warming Sees Polar Bears Stranded On Melting Ice

They cling precariously to the top of what is left of the ice floe, their fragile grip the perfect symbol of the tragedy of global warming.

Captured on film by Canadian environmentalists, the pair of polar bears look stranded on chunks of broken ice.


Although the magnificent creatures are well adapted to the water, and can swim scores of miles to solid land, the distance is getting ever greater as the Arctic ice diminishes.

"Swimming 100 miles is not a big deal for a polar bear, especially a fat one," said Dr Ian Stirling of the Canadian Wildlife Service.

"They just kind of float along and kick. But as the ice gets farther out from shore because of warming, it’s a longer swim that costs more energy and makes them more vulnerable."

Bummer.

I don't know what to say about this global warming thing anymore. In the 70's it was global cooling. In the 80's it was warming. Then in the 90's it became 'climate change,' which was a great turn of phrase for the enviro-boobs and unemployed people that wanted to yell at lumberjacks. With the words 'climate change,' bitching about mankind's sins became an all-season sport, snow or shine, blizzard or heatwave.

I studied anthropology in school. That's what the degree says on my wall, anyway (both the degree and the wall are made from tree products. Apologies all around). During those classes we had to look back at history and count the number of ice ages and such. The theory then was that there were three big ones and a bunch of smaller ones.

Not so long ago, Toronto was under a mile of ice and the Great Lakes didn't exist. The ice had to recede in order to leave those puddles behind. So I guess one would have to say that global warming is a damn good thing. Without it, there would be no shopping on Yonge Street, and there would be no forests for the enviro-weenies to run around in.

The conceit of human beings is astounding. The idea that we parasites could affect this planet in any major way is a laugh. It's also a great chuckle watching the National Geographic specials and hearing the narrator give the Obligatory Guilt Trip. At the end of every episode, they always manage to say that such-and-such a thing will cease to exist if Man doesn't change his evil ways. Why? Because the ecosystem is fragile.

Fragile?

Tell that to the people in central Florida. A fragile tornado dropped out of the sky the other day and obliterated a town, killing 20 people in the time it takes to make toast.

Katrina, she didn't look too fragile, did she? We stewards of the Earth gaped in slack-jawed wonder at her power, cowered beneath concrete, and watched as she kicked over levees as if they were anthills.

Or the tsunami (Random Aside: can someone tell me where tidal wave went?) That surfer's wetdream wiped out thousands of people and destroyed entire villages and towns in less than ten minutes.

We're supposed to protect the environment from us? Please. More like the other way around. We're nothing on this spinning globe. Anytime it feels like it, it can give one big belch and we're history.

The Earth is not fragile, and to refute the article above, neither is a bear's grip. Timothy Treadwell could tell us that, were he still around. He's the guy who took his girlfriend up north to live with his furry friends. Treadwell's method of approaching bears was to slowly slink up to them while singing "I love you" in a high-pitched voice. He and his girlfriend are now bear shit.

Our conceit is limitless. The Earth has been through ice ages, massive earthquakes, hurricanes, innumerable volcanoes spitting sulphur into the sky, catastrophic meteorite impacts, so forth. But hairspray and unleaded gas will be the planet's demise?

Ours, maybe. But the Earth doesn't give a damn about us. Ask the next skydiver whose chute doesn't open how fragile the Earth is, and how much it cares. You'll get two four letter words in response. The first is shit!, the other is thud.

From the Herald Sun (Australia):

Row Over Washrooms

A ROW has erupted over Muslim-only washrooms at La Trobe University that can be accessed only with a secret push-button code.

Muslim students have exclusive access to male and female washrooms on campus, sparking claims of bias and discrimination. The university and Islamic leaders have defended the washrooms as vital to Muslim students' prayer rituals.

Yes, if you like to pray while taking a dump, I suppose.

There is no doubt in my mind these days that Islamic fascists were wildly successful on 9/11. Lenin once said that the purpose of terrorism is terror. That's true, but it runs deeper than that. There was a Palestinian terrorist who said that before terrorism and plane hijackings became the norm, the Palestinian cause got nowhere. Once they started shooting people and blowing things up, the UN listened and they got their concessions.

The above example adds weight to the insipid idea that terrorism works. It puts a people's cause on the front page, and we weaklings bend before it.

Think back to before 9/11. You didn't see Islam in the news every day. I bet you didn't once think about 'people of cover.' You wouldn't have known about Ramadan as a religious holiday, and there's no chance you contemplated giving Muslims separate bathrooms at universities.

Then 9/11 happened. For the first few months, the story was about us, and the pain we suffered. But slowly and surely, the headlines changed. Now the story is about what we can do for them, and how we are a discriminatory people that must make allowances for people that want nothing to do with our culture and our way of life.

And with each concession, the divide deepens. When strung together in the past, separate washroom were two vile words. Now they are 'vital.'

Welcome to the new world order.
