Horrors We Need to Know About

In the unlikely event that you are a new reader (in this case by new we mean that this is the first post of ours you have ever read), you may wish to read this previous post first.

The previous post and this one are long. I've been working on editing myself and keeping my posts to a more blog-like length because I know that it's tedious and hard on the eyes to read long posts. But I'm going to ask your indulgence and request that if you are a Common Room Scholar or a homeschooling parent or student you set these aside and read them over the next day or two.

We are as delicate as we know how to be in the remarks we make below. The links to the source stories are worth reading, but in all probability JennyAnyDots, Pipsqueak, and Equuschick will not wish to explore most of these news stories any further, and if you have tenderly reared young maidens, you may wish them to stop here as well.

1. In case you are inclined to doubt the threat that faces the western world, you might try reading this article. You can read the whole thing. There's no graphic violence, no language, no crudeness calculated to make young maidens blush or to give them nightmares. See:

The government of Saudi Arabia is distributing books and pamphlets across the United States in an effort to recruit American Muslims to an international struggle against Christians and Jews, the director of a religious freedom organization told the Senate Judiciary Committee Nov. 8.

In one instance, a booklet distributed by the Saudi Embassy in Washington offers instructions on how to “build a wall of resentment” between Muslims and infidels, said Nina Shea, director of the Center for Religious Freedom.

Among the book’s directives: “Never greet the Christian or Jew first. Never congratulate the infidel on his holiday. Never befriend an infidel unless it is to convert him. Never imitate the infidel. Never work for an infidel,” Shea quoted during a committee hearing.

The booklet and more than 200 others containing similar anti-Western diatribes “demonstrate the ongoing efforts by Saudi Arabia to indoctrinate Muslims in the United States in the hostility and belligerence of Saudi Arabia’s hard-line Wahhabi sect of Islam,” Shea said.

She said hate literature, booklets, text books and other material was gathered from mosques and Islamic centers in cities across the United States, including Los Angeles, Dallas, Chicago, Washington and New York. Some of the material was published by the Saudi Education Ministry, Shea said.

2. Sulawesi, Indonesia: Jihadists have been attacking and murdering Christians, including high school girls. Michelle Malkin has more, including some specific horrors.
From International Christian Concern:

This latest attack also underscores the level of danger to Christians in the Poso area. This attack comes on the heels of 40 or more attacks against the Christian community, including shootings, killings, and major bombings. There have not been any convictions or arrests in any of these attacks.

3. This is directly from Gates of Vienna:

Winds of Change gives the full text of an article from the German political magazine, Cicero, published last Spring, and excerpts from a second essay in the same mag. The information contained in the essays so concerned the German government that they raided the offices of Cicero — definitely a sign you’re doing something right. Dan Darling doesn’t think the articles have had much exposure in English. The first, entitled “The World’s Most Dangerous Man,” gives an in-depth and graphic description of a Muslim butcher:
Supported by Iran, gone underground in Iraq, Abu Mus'ab al-Zarqawi has been pulling the strings of Islamist terrorism, becoming Usama Bin Ladin's new crown prince and an unscrupulous Holy War fighter.
Notice all those connections: Iran, Iraq, and Osama. Meanwhile, the Left here at home screams when you make those connections. Interesting reactive denial, don’t you think?

Warning: parts of the article are graphic. If you suffer from PTSD, don’t go there.

4. A year ago film-maker Theo Van Gogh was brutally murdered in Europe by Islamic terrorists who claimed he blasphemed against Islam. "Following the assassination of van Gogh, the Minister of Justice of the Netherlands, Piet-Hein Donner, proposed to reinstate blasphemy as a criminal offence."
On July 7 Islamic terrorists set off bombs on public buses in the UK and 55 people were murdered. "The British government wants to make it a crime to insult Islam and the Muslim community. When the House of Lords rejected this bill the Labour Party, eager to win the Muslim vote, incorporated the proposal into its party platform. Private companies are equally eager to pamper Muslims clients. Piggy banks are banned, as are children’s books featuring piggies, as is pork on the menu in schools and prisons. History has been rewritten to blame the West for the Crusades and the conquest of al-Andalous." (Koenraad Elst)

More at Gates of Vienna, where the entire article is suitable for Common Room Scholars.

5.

The Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten is being protected by security guards and several cartoonists have gone into hiding after the newspaper published a series of twelve cartoons (view them here) about the prophet Muhammad. According to the Islam it is blasphemous to make images of the prophet. Muslim fundamentalists have threatened to bomb the paper’s offices and kill the cartoonists.

From The Brussels Journal. Common Room Scholars will not be overly troubled by the article, although the links lead to more disturbing information.

6. The American Crusader has a fascinating history lesson for those who want more background to this current war. Here's a taste:

Probably, Mr. Reader, you did not yesterday wash five times, face Mecca, sink to your knees, and pray to Allah. Most likely, Ms. Reader, you did not cover yourself with a burka before venturing out to shop. Probably neither of you is giving up all food between sunup and sundown during the ongoing monthlong Ramadan.

For freedom from all of these obligations, you might spare a minute sometime today, and every October, to say a silent "thank you" to a gang of half-savage Germans and especially to their leader, Charles "The Hammer" Martel.

7. No Left Turns on rioting in France, Belgium, and Italy- Common Room Scholars can read this without flinching, although not necessarily without fear, if they are connecting the dots.

8. The Religious Policeman explains, with typical British humour, why there is no religious freedom in Saudi Arabia, supposedly one of our greatest allies in the Middle East.

9. Just in- Terrorists bomb hotels in Jordan, killing at least 30 people. Three hotels attacked simultaneously. Terrorism Unveiled has more.

10. "Honour" killings are, according to Gendercide Watch, "acts of murder in which "a woman is killed for her actual or perceived immoral behavior." (Yasmeen Hassan, "The Fate of Pakistani Women," International Herald Tribune, May 25, 1999.) Such "immoral behavior" may take the form of marital infidelity, refusing to submit to an arranged marriage, demanding a divorce, flirting with or receiving phone calls from men, failing to serve a meal on time, or -- grotesquely -- "allowing herself" to be raped." In one case a woman was murdered because somebody dedicated a lovesong on the radio to her.
In England recently a Muslim father ordered his 16 and 19 y.o. sons to murder their sister's fiance because the couple shamed the family. All three were found guilty.
According to the Hindu-stan Times UK edition, "The so-called honour killings, in reality brutal murder of young women, continue unabated. Police say there is one honour killing every month. Nearly 12 have been recorded in London alone in the last couple of years. On average four girls approach police every week fearing they will be victims of honour attacks by family. This is despite courts now sentencing the accused severely."

This is the world our children will inherit if we lose (do see point 6 and read the link in its entirety). Enclaves already exist in this country. Meanwhile the MSM continues to talk about the 'religion of peace,' reporting all the while in a shrill, Henny-Penny sort of fashion, as described by Dr. Sanity , that the economic sky is falling, the enviornmental sky is falling, the nation's health care, child care, and welfare systems are all falling, falling apart thanks to Republican leadership. Don't be fooled.

Updated merely to alter the spacing, as helpfully suggested by the Baron, and fix a couple of typos of the sort that I never see, no matter how many times I preview, until five minutes after I've published a post.
