Obama Needs To Replace The System Not The Personnel
Ever since the failed airline bombing on Christmas, Democrats and Republicans have been howling about “holding people accountable” for the intelligence failure. Republicans in particular have been all over cable news criticizing Obama for not firing someone yet. I’m a little surprised at the GOP in particular for missing the mark so badly on this. Yeah, I’m all in favor of firing the individuals whose failure to act directly contributed to this incident. However, the larger issue goes way beyond firing certain people and assigning blame.
If President Obama replaced the entire DHS leadership tomorrow we would be in the same exact predicament. It’s the culture at our various agencies that is the problem. It’s a failure of leadership by President Bush and to a larger degree President Obama for creating that culture.
What’s worse, we have the most pathetic attorney general in our nation’s history during the most dangerous time in our nation’s history. Eric Holder is the kind of jerk you expect to see running things in a place like Denmark. Every single politician from either party who voted for his confirmation should never work in government again. Their judgement is simply too flawed for them to be trusted with the awesome responsibility of creating our laws.
Political correctness permeates every level of bureaucracy at the FBI, CIA, DHS, and every agency in between. Our entire national security strategy is to give the appearance of security in the hopes that our enemies won’t call our bluff and try something. Guess what, our bluff was called.
What they call “airport security” is carefully choreographed theater to make us all believe we’re safe and the government is doing everything it can to protect. That was bullshit before 9/11, bullshit after 9/11, and continues to be bullshit as I write this. Oh, and it will be bullshit even if Obama gets thrown out of office and a republican administration takes over.
We simply lack the will and frankly the balls to do what is necessary to keep this country safe. Really making our airports secure will require us to hurt some people’s feelings. It will require suffering through hysterical op-ed’s in the NY Times and lawsuits from the ACLU.
Above all what we need is a president willing to admit who the enemy is and what their real motivations are. A president who can understand that closing Gitmo and unclenching his/her fist is not going to deter an enemy motivated by religious fanaticism. Our enemy believes that he is doing God’s work by killing us and his reward for doing that work is a guaranteed place in heaven (flanked by 72 virgins). You cannot reason with an enemy like that. He will keep attacking until he’s dead, you’re dead, or both.
Our enemy dresses like us and acts like us in the hopes of staying under the radar until he’s ready to start killing. Our answer to this must not be to randomly select every 25th or 48th passenger for secondary screening and hope we get lucky. We cannot work from the premise that taking off more articles of clothing or bringing less stuff on an airplane will fool our enemy into believing it’s impossible to beat our security. Someone on a mission from God will do whatever it takes to be successful. Don’t forget, there’s a place in heaven on the line here.
The only way to stop an enemy like that is to recognize the one thing all the terrorists have in common and start from there. I’m of course talking about Islam. What we know for sure about our enemy is that he or she is a Muslim. You start with that fact and put together a screening or dare I say “profiling” system built around that premise. The Israelis have this system down to a science. It runs like an efficient, well oiled machine. The occasional passenger may get offended from time to time or a bruised ego, but in the end everyone stays alive. There is not an illusion of security on an Israeli airplane, a series of stupid human tricks designed to make you feel safe.
Instead, your personal safety is a non-issue. You are certain of your security, because the people in charge know who the enemy is watch for them. Should the profiling system fail for whatever reason (it hasn’t yet) you have nothing to fear, because a highly trained air marshal is on every flight. The Christmas bomber would have been shot dead before he could light the fuse. The Israeli system is so good that no terrorist has even made an attempt to breach it. That’s saying a lot considering the only thing our enemy loves more than dead Americans are dead Jews (even more so in some cases).
It’s time to stop worrying about the small vocal minority of left-wingers who decry “profiling” and start getting serious about security. This is not a joke. This is not about hurt feelings or not offending this group or that group. This about life and death. This is about protecting our way of life from a fanatical enemy bent on our destruction.

British Judge Says YES To Sharia Law In Britain
The most senior judge in England gave his blessing today for the use of sharia law to resolve disputes among Muslims.
Chief Justice Lord Phillips said that Sharia law should be used between Muslims to settle family disputes and financial matters in Britain.
There really are no words to describe what a huge mistake this wacked out Judge is making. It’s inconceivable that any sane human being would allow Islam to seize control over more of British life. Islam is absolutely horrible to women and this lunatic Judge is giving the okay for that kind of nonsense to continue.
You can officially say the Muslims have won and the Islamization of Britain is now complete. This would never happen in the U.S. because we’re armed.
Islamic Militant Found Guilty of ‘Inciting Terrorism’ In Britain
Britain deserves a round of applause for putting a few laws on the books that put reasonable limitations on free speech. It is under these new laws that a well known local Islamic thug named Abu Izzadeen was found guilty of ‘Inciting Terrorism.”
Izzadeen was found guilty of incitement to terrorism abroad along with three of his associates, Abdul Rehman Saleem, also known as Abu Yahya, the convert Simon Keeler, also known as Suliman Keeler, and Ibrahim Abdullah Hassan.
Brooks, Keeler and two other men, Shah Jalal Hussain and Abdul Muhid were found guilty of collecting money for terrorists in Iraq.
Hussain skipped bail while the jury were deliberating and is now on the run.
In a series of fiery speeches delivered from his London mosque, Izzadeen called on his followers to train to be terrorists and telling them to kill non-believers to get to heaven.
He reportedly referred to the 9/11 bombers as “the magnificent 19″ and asked his followers, “are you ready for another 7/7?” which is a reference to the London train bombings which killed many people.
Izzadeen also burst in on former Home Secretary John Reid as he was giving a speech about radicalism and the necessity to separate extremists from law abiding Muslims. (How Ironic)

Audio: New Bin Laden Message Threatening Europe
Bin Laden Threatens Europe Over Danish Cartoons
From the AP:
Osama bin Laden slammed the publication of drawings insulting to the Prophet Muhammad in a new audio message posted late Wednesday and warned Europeans of a strong reaction to come.
The message, which appeared on a militant Web site that has carried al-Qaida statements in the past and bore the logo of the extremist group’s media wing al-Sahab, showed a still image of bin Laden aiming with an AK-47.
A voice believed to be bin Laden’s described the cartoons as taking place in the framework of a “new Crusade” against Islam and warned Europeans that a reaction would come.
“The response will be what you see and not what you hear and let our mothers bereave us if we do not make victorious our messenger of God,” he said, without specifying what action would be taken.
The tape was posted less than a week after the Danish intelligence service said the reprinting of a cartoon depicting the Prophet Muhammad had brought “negative attention” to Denmark and may have increased the risk to Danes at home and abroad.
Danish newspapers republished a cartoon showing Muhammad wearing a bomb-shaped turban on Feb. 13 to show their commitment to freedom of speech after police said they had uncovered a plot to kill the artist.
It’s unbelievable that Bin Laden and other radical Muslims are still making noise about those damn cartoons. The fact that Bin Laden and his sympathizers are willing to murder people over a cartoon really shows the kind of tyrannical vision they have for freedom loving countries.
So in the interest of poking an Islamic radical in the eye, we are reposting a few of the Danish cartoons that Muslims find so offensive.

Palestinian Sheikh: “Jews Are Virus Resembling Aids”
Just you average day at the mosque compliments of the “religion of peace and tolerance” known as Islam.
Houston To Host Terrorist Convention Again This Year
Houston, Texas will once again host The Texas Terrorist Dawah Convention. The event is known as “the largest Islamic convention in the southwest.” The theme this year deals with “focusing on the family”, but as usual the speakers include known associates of convicted terrorists, terror supporters, and 9/11 skeptics.
In addition to the various seminars, some of them given by supporters of the most conservative brand of Sunni Islam, the event will also have a variety of carnival rides, including a petting zoo!
I think a “Focus on the Terror” theme would be far more appropriate given the current state of things around the world. What’s interesting about this year’s meeting of Islamic radicals in the U.S. is that an FBI agent will be a featured speaker. Special Agent Randall Clark who is a member of the “Cyber Crimes Task Force” will be at the convention to speak about child pornography. Not terrorism, but in fact child pornography.
Given that the Internet is a favorite recruiting tool for terrorists, lets just say it’s “odd” that child pornography is what the FBI chooses to discuss. I guess the Feds just wants everyone to be on the lookout for child porn when posting jihad videos and plotting terror attacks on message boards.
The Jawa Report has an ongoing list of expected speakers at the convention and who exactly they are:
Musa Maguire- The name may not sound familiar, but maybe you know his cousin “Sulayman”. Doesn’t ring a bell? Well maybe you’ll recognize his given name John Walker Lindh. Musa Abdun Nur Maguire is best known for his defense of his cousin’s treason fighting for the Taliban. He calls Lindh a “authentic American hero“.
To show you how screwed up our Federal government is, your tax money is subsidizing Musa: In 2004 he was the recipient of a Fulbright grant to take K-12 teachers to the Middle East. Read the post, in it Musa describes how Salafis (who are the Sunni Islamists with the same political goals as al Qaeda) cured him of his extremism and how convicted jihadist Ismail Royer should get a Fulbright and not jail time.
Imam Johari Abdul-Malik- Abdul-Malik is the number one fund raiser for the Ali Asad support committee which is trying to free convicted terrorist Ali Asad Chandia. Chandia, a Maryland school teacher, was convicted of providing material support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba terror organization and assisted Ali al-Tamimi, the spiritual leader of the Virginia Jihad Network.
He is the imam of the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Va, where convicted terrorist Ahmed Omar Abu AliRosa Parks of the Muslim community“. worshiped. Abu Ali has admitted to meeting with Zubayr Al-Rimi, al Qaeda’s #2 man in Saudi Arabia while studying in Mecca. Malik was outraged at Omar Abu Ali’s prosecution for plotting to kill the President of the United States and once called him the ”
Abdul Malik is most famous for his support of Hamas.
Dr. Salah As-Sawi- Vice President of the Sharia Academy, the mission of which is “to disseminate proper and authentic Islamic knowledge based on the principles of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah”. Longtime readers know that Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah is what Salafists call their version of conservative Islamic law.
What they mean by it is that they are followers of “authentic” Islam, as understood by the first generation of followers of Mohammed. In other words, they want to return to a 7th century version of Islamic law. Generally you and I would call them “Wahabbis”, although they hate this term.
He is perhaps most notorious as a 9/11 skeptic and as the man who penned a counter-fatwa forbidding Muslims to join the U.S. military in any actions against the Taliban in Afghanistan. He claimed “the Jewish media” had rushed to blame Osama bin Laden for 9/11.
Siraj Wahhaj- Formerly on CAIR’s advisory board and an possibly unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Bombings. He denies he was ever on any list of unindicted co-conspirators, but bombing mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (the “Blind Sheikh) was a regular speaker at Wahhaj’s At-Taqwa Mosque in Brooklyn. In addition, Wahhaj was a character witness in Rahman’s behalf at his terrorism trial.
Rodney Clement Hampton-El, aka “Dr. Rashid”- an Afghan veteran (fought with the mujahideen) and the group’s “explosive expert”, was also a worshiper at Wahhaj’s mosque.
The event will be held Dec. 21-24 and The Hot Joints may live blog the event. We will post further details after a decision has been reached.

Iranians Unveil “Vice List”
Iranian police have unveiled a list of “vices” — including makeup, un-Islamic dress and decadent movies — being targeted in an ongoing moral crackdown.
Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei last week urged police to keep up its crackdown on social vices, saying they must “fulfill their duties regardless of some opposition and propaganda.”
Thousands of women have been warned for wearing tight, short coats and skimpy headscarves and for flouting the Islamic dress code, which requires every post-pubescent woman to cover their hair and body contours.
“Wearing boots with short pants, wearing hats or scarves which do not fully cover hair and neck instead of the proper head veil and putting on unusual make-up that contradicts public chastity (is forbidden),” the list said.
“Wearing Western-style clothes and insignias of deviant groups (usually a reference to referring to Satanists or rappers),” was on the list alongside “production and distribution of decadent movies as well as private home-made videos.”
Opponent of ‘mega-mosque’ receives death threat on YouTube
A leading opponent of plans to build Europe’s largest mosque in east London has seen a chilling “obituary” for him posted on the internet. The film on video-sharing website YouTube is entitled In memory of Councillor Alan Craig and contains pictures of him with his wife and two young daughters.
It was apparently posted in retaliation for his opposition to the mosque. Islamic group Tablighi Jamaat wants to open the 12,000-capacity “mega-mosque” in Newham near the main 2012 Olympic site.
If there’s one thing Europe is desperately in need of it’s a big fucking mosque that comfortably trains 12,000 terrorists at a time.
Muslims around the world are out of control and everyone should take notice of that. These people use terror and intimidation to get anything they want and it’s outrageous.
I don’t believe that Islam is a religion of peace. I know moderate Muslims like to say that, but it’s total bullshit. Their are two kinds of Muslims. Their are Muslims who are secular and those who are religious. The ones who are religious want to kill anyone that isn’t a Muslim and every single Jew.
Muslims will NEVER hold America hostage the way they have in Europe. Britain should just go ahead and rename itself “The Islamic Republic of Great Britain.”
Muslims continue to prove on a daily basis that it’s not possible to comfortably co-exist unless you believe exactly as they do. Therefore, we must bomb them.

Hot Joints Book Review: “Schmoozing With Terrorists”
This clever, often humorous but deeply disturbing book focuses not on how terror cells operate or how they get their funding, but on the individuals behind the masks and suicide bomber vests. It tells stories, often horrifying, about the events that have shaped, and are shaping, today’s Middle East, as told by the perpetrators, in their own words.
Aaron Klein conducts interviews with the leaders and members of terror organizations, including every major Palestinian Arab terror group, al-Qaida, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al Aqsa Martyrs, Popular Resistance Committees, Arab liberation front, PFLP, Iraq insurgents, Taliban officials and even groups suspected of operating in the U.S.
You will not find a better book about terrorism anywhere in the world. He even asks the terror leaders what they think about Hollywood celebrities who speak out against President Bush and the War on Terror.
Schmoozing With Terrorists is one the most fascinating books I have ever read.
Don’t think the terror threat is real? Read the book.
