The Great Liberal Denial Incarnate
Dear liberal commenter, thanks for proving my point

On my "The Great Liberal Denial" post of yesterday, I received a rather interesting ComBox posting. Here's a few choice selections; (his comments are in bold italics)

"The only reference I could find about rape and Beslan was in the article that apparently spawned that slideshow: - Maybe somebody else is better at searching for these things than I am. I wouldn't want to think they were being inflammatory or anything."

After an internet search that took all of five seconds, I came up with 12,000 hits to the key words "Beslan rape". Also, the commenter got it wrong. The article didn't begat the slide show, the slideshow begat the article. But in all fairness, liberals usually get things backwards.

Anyhow, here's just two of some of the first ones I've read;

From Front Page Magazine

The Rape Jihad
Meanwhile, Indira Dzetskelova, the mother of one of the child hostages in Beslan, Russia, reports that “several 15-year-old girls were raped by terrorists.” Her daughter “heard their terrible cries and screams when those monsters took them away.”

This indicates that there are two things the massacre in Beslan have in common with the ongoing massacres in Darfur: both, no less than the 9/11 attacks, are examples of Islamic jihad terrorism, and both are characterized by rape.

And this from the Sunday Mirror (United Kingdom)

THEY KNIFED BABIES, THEY RAPED GIRLS
THE full horror of the Russian school atrocity began to emerge yesterday as traumatised children told horrific tales of stabbed babies and brutal rapes. It has also emerged that scores of the 323 who died - including many children - had been shot in the back.

While despairing soldiers and rescue workers moved among the growing pile of body bags, it was revealed that an 18-month-old baby had been repeatedly stabbed by a black-clad terrorist who had run out of ammunition. Other survivors told how screaming teenage girls were dragged into rooms adjoining the gymnasium where they were being held and raped by their Chechen captors who chillingly made a video film of their appalling exploits

"Paint me a liberal then, but this is simply irresponsible fear-mongering."

And here are even a few more examples of fear-mongering...

1. "The British are coming, the British are coming!!" - Paul Revere. Horseback, Massachusetts countryside.
2. "Air raid Pearl Harbor. This is no drill." - Flash message from Commander Logan Ramsey (USN), Ford Island Command Center to all military commands in Hawaii.
3. "If My requests are not granted, Russia will spread its errors throughout the world, raising up wars and persecutions against the Church. The good will be martyred, the Holy Father will suffer much and various nations will be annihilated." - The Blessed Virgin Mary. Fatima, Portugal.

"Everybody complains about the US having such a porous border. It's been 6 years since 9/11. Why hasn't this happened already?"

Obviously, you've already forgotten about the foiled attacks on:

a. Fort Dix, N.J. Remember how they planned on getting on base disguised as pizza delivery men, then go through various barracks armed with AK-47's killing unarmed troops?
b. The aviation fuel storage facility at JFK Airport in New York. Upwards of a million gallons of fuel blown up in one fell swoop. How charming.
c. The two Middle-Eastern "students" recently arrested outside the Naval Weapons Station in Charleston, SC. Remember what they had in the trunk? Pipe bombs.

Evil does exist, but that's no excuse to go off the deep end and stop using the brain that the good Lord gave us.

Looks as if you've already beat us fear-mongering Right-Wingers to the punch.

The Great Liberal Denial
And 9/11 wasn't suppose to happen either

The following was sent to me from a friend who recently attended a seminar concerning the possibility of a terrorist attack on our children. Unfortunately, I can't post the PowerPoint presentation on the blog, so I'll just type out each slide. For greater specifics, click here.

For once, I'm not going to place any emphasis on certain points brought up nor will I insert my own personal comments. Just reading this rather sterile PPP is still enough to send chills up your spine. Especially the last two slides.


____________________________________________________________(slide 1)

Mass Slaughter in Our Schools
The Terrorists' Chilling PlanBy Chuck Remsberg
____________________________________________________________(slide 2)

Terrorist Attack Plan
- Preparation for attacks on American Schools are well underway in Islamic terrorist camps
- The terrorists have warned us that they will attack our schools
- They have already begun testing school-related targets in the U.S.
- For terrorists, "a successful attack is one we are not ready for." Lt. Col. Dave Grossman

____________________________________________________________(slide 3)

Why Schools?
Our Values
- The most sacred thing to us are our children
- Killing hundreds of children will boots the terrorist's morale and lower ours, leaving us stunned
Our Lack of Preparation
- Police deal with crime, but school attacks are war
- Police are the first line of defense. Are we ready?
- If a large scale school attack occurs, parents will stay home. The economy will be devastated.

____________________________________________________________(slide 4)

How Do We Know They Are Coming?
- Al-Qaeda has said that they have the right to kill two million American Children
- Al-Qaeda terrorists have been video-taped practicing school takeovers and issuing commands in English
- Islamic religious literature condones killing children if it is done for the "general good"
-Target scouting and infiltration efforts have already occurred

____________________________________________________________(slide 5)

The Terrorists' Tactical Model
- A dress rehearsal has already taken place in 2004 in Beslan, Russia. 172 children were killed.
- Large buildings with complicated floor plans are preferred. They are harder to assault.
- Terrorists' weapons included AK-47s, sniper rifles, rocket propelled grenades and explosives.
- In Beslan, 1,000 people were held hostage by 100 terrorists for three days without food or water.
- Women and older children were repeatedly raped.
- Adult males and large boys were made to help fortify the school, then they were shot.

____________________________________________________________(slide 6)

The Terrorists' Tactical Model
- Attempts at negotiation by responders were used by the terrorists to buy time to fortify the school.
- All entrances and many stairwells were booby trapped with explosives.
- Children were used as shields by snipers.
- The terrorists used amphetamines to stay awake.
- When troops stormed the building, troops and children were gunned down mercilessly
- Explosions started many fires.
- Trip wires connected to explosives slowed down the assault.
- Escaping terrorists tried to blend in with the locals.

____________________________________________________________(slide 7)

What's Likely Here?
- Terrorist cells of four operatives each will strike simultaneously at four different schools.
- Middle schools without police presence are preferred. The girls are big enough to rape and the students are not big enough to fight back.
- Preferred targets will be states that do not allow concealed carry of firearms, have no hunting culture, and where the police do not carry rifles.
- Rural areas are favored because of the delayed response time for police to arrive in force.

____________________________________________________________(slide 8)

What's Likely Here?
- As they seize the school, the attackers will initially kill every teacher and student they see.
- They will rape, murder and toss the bodies outside like was done in Russia.
- They will plant bombs throughout the school.
- Emergency responders and fleeing children will be blown up by car bombs in the parking lot.
- 100 to 300 children will be killed in the first strike.
- The terrorists are likely already here, many having crossed over the border with Mexico.

The Case For Shooting Rabid Dogs
As the banner says: Appeasement Will Kill Us All
Helmet tip to Sean over at The Blue Boar

In the days following the Mumbai Massacre, a number of folks in conversation would ask me "why did they go after hotels, a Jewish Center, a Women's and Children's hospital, etc.?"

And I had to point out to the folks I was talking with, "you have to remember, these scum aren't warriors. They're terrorists. I also pointed out that the Indian Marines (MARCOS - Indian Marine Commandos) are stationed right there in Mumbai. But like I said, the terrorists won't take part in a stand up fight against Indian Marines or the Mumbai Police... they'll go after the likes of a 9 month pregnant Jewish housewife and torture her to death.

Here's some of the article from Israel News Network; (Emphasis mine)
Doctors: Terrorist Torture of Victims 'Beyond Words'
by Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu

(IsraelNN.com) Mumbai doctors who examined the bodies of the victims of the Muslim terror massacre said the victims were tortured before being slaughtered. "Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks," a doctor who examined the bodies told the Indian news website Rediff.com.

"Of all the bodies, the Israeli victims bore the maximum torture marks... It was clear that they were killed on Wednesday. It was obvious that they were tied up and tortured before they were killed. It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my head again," he said. Another doctor commented, "It was very strange. I have seen so many dead bodies in my life, and was yet traumatized. A bomb blast victim's body might have been torn apart and could be a very disturbing sight. But the bodies of the victims in this attack bore such signs about the kind of violence of urban warfare that I am still unable to put my thoughts to words," he said.

Intelligence officials confirmed the doctors' observations. Ajmal Kamal, the only terrorist who was not killed after he and his gang had managed to murder nearly 200 people and wound hundreds others, told officials that the terrorists "were specifically asked to target the foreigners, especially the Israelis."

Intelligence Bureau sources were quoted as estimating that the terrorists did not want to keep them alive in order not to attract international attention. "They also might have feared the chances of Israeli security agencies taking over the operations at the Nariman House," otherwise known as the Chabad House.And here's just a small sample of the article written by Mark Steyn (click here for the entire piece. It's well worth the read);
Jews get killed, but Muslims feel vulnerable

Shortly after the London Tube bombings in 2005, a reader of Tim Blair, The Sydney Daily Telegraph's columnist wag, sent him a note-perfect parody of a typical newspaper headline:

"British Muslims Fear Repercussions Over Tomorrow's Train Bombing."

Indeed. And so it goes. This time round – Mumbai – it was the Associated Press that filed a story about how Muslims "found themselves on the defensive once again about bloodshed linked to their religion".

Oh, I don't know about that. In fact, you'd be hard pressed from most news reports to figure out the bloodshed was "linked" to any religion, least of all one beginning with "I-" and ending in "-slam." In the three years since those British bombings, the media have more or less entirely abandoned the offending formulations – "Islamic terrorists," "Muslim extremists" – and by the time of the assault on Mumbai found it easier just to call the alleged perpetrators "militants" or "gunmen" or "teenage gunmen," as in the opening line of this report in The Australian: "An Adelaide woman in India for her wedding is lucky to be alive after teenage gunmen ran amok."

Kids today, eh? Always running amok in an aimless fashion.

The veteran British TV anchor Jon Snow, on the other hand, opted for the more cryptic locution "practitioners." "Practitioners" of what, exactly?

Hard to say. And getting harder. For the Wall Street Journal, Tom Gross produced a jaw-dropping round-up of Mumbai media coverage: The discovery that, for the first time in an Indian terrorist atrocity, Jews had been attacked, tortured and killed produced from the New York Times a serene befuddlement: "It is not known if the Jewish center was strategically chosen, or if it was an accidental hostage scene."

Hmm. 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?"In a few short weeks, Mumbai will be but a distant memory to most Westerners.

Bullshit... Mumbai was just a dry run. Or probably closer to the truth, this was Beslan gone wrong (click here for all the posts concerning Beslan. Warning though. The slideshow is especially graphic.)

Get ready, America.

It's Time To Play A Game...
It's not hard. I made it that way so even liberals can understand it

I think it's time to bring this little waterboarding discussion to an end. Let's play a little game that I fondly refer to as "How Much Do You Love Them?". By the way, feel free to click on the various links... it's enhances the game.

Step 1. Imagine, if you will, those who you love the most. Possibly they are your spouse and children. Maybe your siblings. Could be dear old Mom and Dad.

Step 2. Think hard about just how much you love them. Ask yourself important questions such as "have I always showed them how much I really do love and appreciate them?" and "what would I do without them?" and the ever popular "if they were threatened, would I protect them?"

Step 3. At this point in time, you're pretty much all warm, fuzzy and just oozing sensitivity and luv.

Now comes the hard part of the game.

Step 4. Imagine, if you will, that the very same loved ones you were just thinking about are;
a. On an aircraft that's just been hijacked by Jihaadists that in a few short minutes will be flown into a building, just like 9/11.
b. Are in a building that targeted for destruction by Jihaadists, just like 9/11.
c. Are in a school (or some such other facility) that's been taken over by Jihaadists, just like at Beslan.
d. In the wrong place at the wrong time, and have been captured by Jihaadists, just like Nick Berg.

Step 5. Now I want you to really think long and hard on this one. The very same people who you've brought into this game are about to be;
a. Evaporated in an explosion. But not before living in absolute sheer and utter terror for the last few minutes of their lives.
b. Either roasted to death, crushed to death as a building implodes around them, or they will throw themselves off of the building. But not before living in absolute sheer and utter terror for the last few minutes of their lives.
c. Shot in the back of the head execution-style, if they're one of the lucky ones. The girls will be gang-raped before being shot, and the babies will be slashed and stabbed to death. But not before living in absolute sheer and utter terror for the last few minutes of their lives.
d. Have their head literally carved off. But not before living in absolute sheer and utter terror for the last few minutes of their lives.

Now comes the really interesting part of the game

Step 6. Let's jump in the ol' Wayback Machine and time travel to about an hour or so before all the plans of the bad guys come to fruition. The good guys have captured the mastermind of all the various scenarios that we've discussed during out little game. Remember, we're about an hour away from our loved ones from possibly facing a terrifying, blood drenched, butchery of a death.

Step 7. The good guys have just asked you the following; "the mastermind refuses to talk, but we are 100% positive that something big and very nasty is about to happen, and it involves a gruesome death for your family members if we don't stop it in time. We can possibly thwart the event, but only if extraordinary means are employed, such as waterboarding. Will you authorize us to use such methods?"

Step 8. Before you give your answer, imagine long and hard what the grisly deaths of your loved ones would be like.

Step 9. Think about it some more.

Step 10. Think about it even longer.

Step 11. Think about your loved ones screaming in horror.

Step 12. Now give the authorities either a yes or no answer.

But is there even a reason to play this game? Let's not bull shit each other. We all know what the answer will be. Anyone who says that they'd answer "no" is a liar. Either that or a coward of the highest degree.

In Reference To Another 9-11
Skyscrapers, military bases... but what else?

WARNING!! Graphic ImagesOK, we've all heard by now that bin-laden just might "send a message" to the American people this upcoming September 11th. A taped video message? An audio recording? Another attack? Maybe nothing at all? Who knows.

Just know this, I've heard drips and drabs from various sources that the terrorists have one other institution targeted... schools. Nothing new here.

But just a gentle reminder; these maggots aren't warriors... they're terrorists. They have no intention whatsoever of a stand-up fight. Their main objective in life is to terrorize us. And what better way than to go after our kids?

And to hammer home the point even further, allow me to remind everyone what happened 3 short years ago, September 1, 2007 in Beslan, Russia. We all remember that, don't we?

For those who've forgotten, that's when a group of determined islamofascists attacked (you guessed it) a school, and killed 334 civilians (including 186 children) and hundreds more were wounded.

Allow me refresh your memory....

I hope these pictures burn themselves in your mind. Now imagen instead of being far-off Russia, this is your hometown, be it in the USA, Germany, Australia, Great Britain, etc. And don't think for a damn minute the bad guys haven't already thought of doing this.

First Came The Underwear Bombers...
Then the Booby Bombers...

Now the moslem "Black Widow Bombers". Hold on to your hats, America. As they've shown already at Beslan Massacre, Russia is just their training ground. WE are the real target.

Be warned, this posting has some fairly disturbing images. From The Sun (London);

‘Widow’ bombers
By NICK PARKER

THESE chilling images of the dead "black widow" Moscow bombers were revealed yesterday - as it was claimed that 21 MORE may be ready to strike. The Muslim women's suicide attacks killed 39 on the Russian capital's metro on Monday.

Investigators said they may have been among 30 women who trained as suicide bombers in Turkey. Nine of the group are now thought to have died in attacks - and officials are racing to track down the others.

Said Buryatsky - dubbed the Russian Bin Laden - is thought to have trained the women from the war-torn Caucasus region. He was killed by security services last month.

Investigators released a photo of a suspected male accomplice. A man is thought to have accompanied the bombers on a bus from the Caucasus. Mourners yesterday laid flowers at makeshift memorials on the metro.

Russian PM Vladimir Putin vowed to hunt down the masterminds of the bombing "to the bottom of the sewers".

"Moderate Moslems" Are Just Like "Bigfoot"
Everyone's heard of them, but no one's really seen one

Stolen from FABbio, via Boortz

We wake up this morning to see video on CNN showing rampaging Muslims around the world. In Europe, the Middle East, the Pacific Rim ... Muslim Mobs spreading mayhem. It seems that these mighty mad Muslims are rioting and firing their ever-present AK-47s into the air because of cartoons. Yup ... this latest epidemic of Muslim outrage comes to us because some newspapers in Norway and Denmark published some cartoons depicting Mohammed. In fact ... here is one of my favorites!

Admit it, this turban/bomb thing is "just right" and could be the next big fashion hit on the Muslim street!

Muslim outrage huh. OK ... let's do a little historical review. Just some lowlights:

Muslims fly commercial airliners into buildings in New York City. No Muslim outrage.

Muslim officials block the exit where school girls are trying to escape a burning building because their faces were exposed. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims cut off the heads of three teenaged girls on their way to school in Indonesia. A Catholic school. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims murder teachers in the new Iraq for trying to teach Muslim children subjects other than memorizing the Koran.. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims murder over 80 tourists with car bombs outside cafes and hotels in Egypt. No Muslim outrage.

A Muslim attacks a missionary children's school in India. Kills six children under the age of twelve. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims slaughter hundreds of children and teachers in Beslan, Russia. Muslims shoot children in the back. No Muslim outrage.

Let's go way back.

Muslims kidnap and kill athletes at the Munich Summer Olympics. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims hijack a TWA flight and to enforce their demands they shoot an unarmed U.S. sailor passenger and throw his body out on the tarmac. No outrage.

Muslims hijack a cruise ship and push a wheelchair bound elderly jewish man into the sea . No Muslim outrage.

Muslims blow up a Pan Am flight over Scotland killing hundreds. No outrage.

Muslims fire rocket-propelled grenades into schools full of children in Israel. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims murder more than 50 commuters in attacks on London subways and busses. Over 700 are injured. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims massacre dozens of innocents at a Passover Seder. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims murder innocent vacationers in Bali. No Muslim outrage.

Muslim newspapers publish anti-Christian and anti-Semitic cartoons. No Muslim outrage

Muslims are involved, on one side or the other, in almost every one of the 125+ shooting wars around the world. No Muslim outrage.

Muslims beat the charred bodies of Western civilians with their shoes, then hang them from a bridge. No Muslim outrage.

Newspapers in Denmark and Norway publish satirical cartoons depicting Mohammed . Muslims are outraged.

Dead children. Dead tourists. Dead teachers. Dead doctors and nurses. Death, destruction and mayhem around the world at the hands of Muslims .. no Muslim outrage ... but publish a cartoon depicting Mohammed with a bomb in his turban and all hell breaks loose.

Come on, is this really about cartoons? They're rampaging and burning flags. They're looking for Europeans to kidnap. They're threatening innkeepers and generally raising holy Muslim hell not because of any outrage over a cartoon. They're outraged because it is a basic part of the Islamic jihadist culture to be outraged. If you are Muslim you don't really need a reason. You just need an excuse. Wandering around, destroying property, murdering children, firing guns into the air and feigning outrage over the slightest perceived insult is to a jihadist what tailgating is to a Steeler's fan.

I have heard again and again these bloodthirsty murderers do not represent the majority of the world's Muslims. That may be true. When though, will this vast number of "peaceful" Muslims become outraged at the behavior of the jihadists? When will they take to the streets to express their outrage at the radicals who are making their religion the object of worldwide hatred and ridicule? Islamic writer Salman Rushdie wrote of these silent Muslims in a New York Times article three years ago. "As their ancient, deeply civilized culture of love, art and philosophical ref lection is hijacked by paranoiacs, racists, liars, male supremacists, tyrants, fanatics and violence junkies, why are they not screaming?"

Indeed. Why not?

Could it be that large numbers of peaceful Muslims are themselves too terrified of reprisals to speak up? Or could it be that the radicalization of Islamic culture is so far along that the silent Muslim majority secretly agrees with the jihadists but is unwilling to say so in public?
