I've turned off comments so our jihadi friends won't feel compelled to turn this into their personal hate-fest. Back in two weeks...
Islam - the Documentary
An important documentary that should be mandatory viewing for all civilized people:

What the West Needs to Know
Islam, violence, and the fate of the non-Muslim world.
95 mins
Main Idea
Virtually every major Western leader has over the past several years expressed the view that Islam is a peaceful religion and that those who commit violence in its name are fanatics who misinterpret its tenets. This claim, while widely circulated, rarely attracts serious public examination. Relying primarily on Islam’s own sources, this documentary demonstrates that Islam is a violent, expansionary ideology that seeks the destruction or subjugation of other faiths, cultures, and systems of government.
Content
The documentary consists of original interviews, citations from Islamic texts, Islamic artwork, computer-animated maps, footage of Western leaders, and Islamic television broadcasts. Its tone is sober, methodical, and compelling.
Outline of the Documentary
Introduction
We hear from prominent Western leaders that Islam is peaceful and that those who commit violence in its name are heterodox fanatics.
Part 1: ‘There is no God but Allah and Muhammad is his Prophet’
Our interviewees affirm their belief that Islamic violence is entirely orthodox behavior for Muslims and stems directly from the teachings and example of the Prophet Muhammad and the commands of the Koran. We learn that the example of Muhammad is one of a violent warlord who killed numerous people. The Koran – the verbatim words of Allah – prescribes violence against non-Muslims and Muhammad is the perfect example of the Koran in action.
Part 2: The Struggle
We learn that jihad, while literally meaning 'struggle', in fact denotes war fought against non-Muslims in order to bring the rule of Islamic law to the world. Violent death in jihad is, according to the Koran, the only assurance of salvation. One of our interviewees tells of his personal involvement in terrorism and of his conversion to Christianity.
Part 3: Expansion
Following the death of Muhammad, his 'rightly-guided' successors carried his wars to three continents, fighting, enslaving, and massacring countless Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians. Islam did not spread through evangelism or through its natural appeal, but through aggressive wars of conquest. The Crusades were largely a belated response on the part of Christian Europe to rescue Christians in the Holy Land suffering under Muslim oppression. The Muslim world today, while no longer the unified empire of the Caliphs, is exceptional for being responsible for the vast majority of conflicts around the world and for almost all of international terrorism.
Part 4: ‘War is Deceit’
A great problem with Western efforts to understand Islam is due to the Islamic principle of 'religious deception', which enjoins Muslims to deceive non-Muslims in order to advance the cause of Islam. Muslim groups today in the West employ deception and omission to give the impression that 'Islam is a religion of peace', an utter fiction.
Part 5: More than a Religion
The most important characteristic of Islam not understood by the West is that it is more a system of government than a personal religion. Unlike Christianity, Islam has never recognized a distinction between the religious and the secular/political. Islamic law governs every aspect of religious, political, and personal action, which amounts to a form of totalitarianism that is divinely enjoined to dominate the world, analogous in many ways to Communism.
Part 6: The House of War
Islamic theology divides the world into two spheres locked in perpetual combat, dar al-Islam (House of Islam - where Islamic law predominates), and dar al-harb (House of War - the rest of the world). It is incumbent on dar al-Islam to fight and conquer dar al-harb and permanently assimilate it. Muslims in Western nations are called to subvert the secular regimes in which they now live in accordance with Allah's command. Due to political correctness and general government and media irresponsibility, the danger posed by observant Muslims in the West remains largely unappreciated.

Holocaust a punishment from God
Whose "god" you may ask? Guess...
Holocaust a punishment from God, said radical preacher
By Sean O’Neill
ABU HAMZA AL-MASRI used his position as imam of the Finsbury Park mosque to preach virulently anti-Semitic sermons, the Old Bailey was told yesterday.
Videos of the radical cleric delivering a talk after Friday prayers at the mosque were shown to the jury at his trial on charges of inciting murder and racial hatred.
Abu Hamza, 47, denies 13 such charges and two counts of possessing a terrorist manual and planning to distribute offensive recordings.
The preacher was shown on screen addressing the congregation at the mosque in October 2000. He punched the air as he described the Nazi Holocaust as a punishment from God.
In a sermon in Arabic, a translation of which was read to the court by David Perry, for the prosecution, Abu Hamza said that God had decreed that the Jewish people should face further torture.
He said: “Every time they lit the fire for war God has put it out. And this is the imminent result and this is a universal result too. Hitler looked at their dealings and their treachery. They wanted to deceive him in his war. Some were dealing with the Allies against him.
“So he killed them and punished them and this is a sunna (Islamic rule). And they will be inflicted with that again when the stones and the Sharia start talking to the Muslim — you the worshipper of God . . . This is a Jew dealing in usury, so come and kill him.
“This shows that the Jews will be destroyed, the State will be destroyed and some of the Jews will be running around hiding behind the trees and the stones and then they get cursed by the earth until there is not one of them left.”
In a separate video, Abu Hamza told a group of people that shoplifting and theft by Muslims from non-believers was permitted. Students were not required to repay loans and identity fraud by Muslim refugees was allowed, according to his interpretation of Islam.
In other passages from his lectures, the court heard Abu Hamza telling his audience that they were allowed to kill non-Muslims.
He said: “Killing a kuffar (unbeliever) who is fighting you is OK. Killing a kuffar for any reason, you can say it is OK even if there is no reason for it.”
The cleric reserved particular ire for the owners of off-licences and authorities that granted licences for the sale of alcohol.
“Don’t go to the man in the wine shop and tell him, ‘Please why are you selling the wine, come to the mosque’. Make sure the person who gave him the licence for that wine shop does not exist any more on the earth. Finish him up. Give him dawa (the spread of Islam), if he doesn’t respect dawa, kill him.”
The trial continues.
The religion of peace strikes again...

While children should not be killed directly, their killing is permissible
Sacks of islamic crap demonstrate their support for their co-religionist yesterday in London
Abu Hamza, the Muslim preacher, had a 10-volume terrorism manual at his home which was dedicated to Osama bin Laden and featured a list of targets including Big Ben, skyscrapers, airports and football stadiums, a court heard yesterday.
The Encyclopaedia of Afghani Jihad was written in Arabic between 1989 and 1999 with the help of Mujahadeen fighters in Afghanistan.
It featured sections on explosives, sabotage and assassination, the Old Bailey was told.
The first volume talks of a holy war against English, French and Communist "imperialists" who protect Israel.
It also refers to an "external pressure unit" which "belongs to the execution unit which operates abroad" and should be sent to a country "at least 10 years" before the Jihad starts.
Among the high-profile targets suggested are the "Statue of Liberty, Eiffel Tower and Big Ben clock".
Targets where there would be bigger loss of life are suggested as "skyscrapers, ports, airports, nuclear plants, football stadiums and large congregations at Christmas".
David Perry, prosecuting, said it was a "manual, a blueprint for terrorism". "It includes all anyone ever needs to know if they want to make a home-made bomb or explosive."
Hamza, 47, who was born in Egypt and has lived in Britain for several years as a British citizen, is accused of nine counts of soliciting to murder, four counts of using threatening, abusive or insulting behaviour and two counts of possessing abusive recordings with a view to distribution and possession of a document useful to preparing terrorism.
When police raided his home in west London in May 2004 they found more than 2,700 audio tapes and 570 video tapes, some of them labelled "Jihad", meaning holy war, the court was told.
Hamza was the preacher at Finsbury Park mosque before it closed in 2003. The terrorism encyclopedia was found on the top shelf in a ground- floor room of his house.
The jury saw pictures of Hamza's home in Shepherd's Bush. It contained boxes piled with blank tapes and others labelled "master", suggesting they were being prepared for distribution.
The tapes included sections on the evils of adultery, drink and e-number additives in food.
In one speech, delivered to a meeting in Whitechapel, east London, in 1997 or 1998 Hamza said the role of women should be to encourage their husbands to train children as young as 10 so they could become mujahadeen (holy warriors).
In a tape aimed at young people he said: "When you meet Allah you will be asked who was killed at your hands?"
Britain and Western nations were "100 per cent anti-Islam", he said in another tape, calling on his followers to spread Islam "by the sword" and adding: "European leaders only respect those that are strong."
He said: "Killing the kafir for any reason is OK, killing the kafir for no reason is OK," and he specifically singled out those that granted licences for "wine shops".
Hamza added: "We like blood and are addicted to it. When they say they love Allah they must ask themselves how much fafir blood they have spilt for Allah."
Describing non-believers as "germs and viruses" in another tape he added: "There is no drop of liquid loved by Allah more than blood of Serbs, Jews or any other enemy of Allah."
In a speech about a terrorist attack in Egypt, which killed 58 people in November 1997, Hamza told his audience the tourist industry should be Islamised and added: "While children should not be killed directly, their killing is permissible if they are in the target area."
Asked if suicide bombing was permissible he said: "People call it suicide to put people off. It is not called suicide, it is called martyrdom."
The court heard Hamza was calling for a worldwide "caliphate" of Muslim Shariah law and for a Muslim ruler in the White House.
Hamza claimed Jews were "blasphemous, traitors and dirty" and added that "Hitler was sent to torture and humiliate Jews", the court was told.

Report: Hajj stampede kills dozens
Thursday, January 12, 2006; Posted: 7:45 a.m. EST (12:45 GMT)
MECCA, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Muslim pilgrims stampeded on the last day of a symbolic stoning ritual at the Hajj on Thursday, and the Interior Ministry said an unknown number of people were killed.
The Arab television news station Al-Arabiya reported dozens of pilgrims died.
The stampede broke out as tens of thousands of pilgrims filed past al-Jamarat, a series of three pillars representing the devil that the faithful pelt with stones to purge themselves of sin.
The ritual has seen deadly stampedes in the past, including one in 1990 that killed 1,426 people and another in February 2004 that killed 244.
Maj. Gen. Mansour al-Turki, a ministry spokesman, said the stampede happened after some pieces of luggage dropped from moving buses. The pilgrims apparently tripped over them as they were rushing to the pillars, he said.
Al-Turki said there were deaths but could not immediately give an exact number.

This is what evil looks like
“He who does not punish evil commands it to be done.” Leonardo da Vinci
Recently, a so-called "moderate" muslim challenged me on his blog to "tell all of us why you think there is so much Islamic militancy in the world"
Intially pleased that he understands and agrees that islamic militancy is a problem, I opined that the koran and hadiths, full of jew/infidel hatred and brimming with ecouragement for young jihadis was the prime reason for terrorism in this world. Islam teraches the ideology of jihad, including violence against and the subjugation of non-Muslims. Suffice to say that Ipouya was not in agreement with my arguments - calling me a bigot, racist and islamophobe. Why?
Because I choose to repeat the things muslims say. For example I read today that according to the religious edict issued by Rashad Hassan Khalil, a former dean of Al-Azhar University's faculty of Sharia (or Islamic law), "being completely naked during the act of coitus annuls the marriage"....
Repeating this tidbit is apparently why i am called a "racist" Amusing? No doubt. Racist? Hardly.
But this is the strategy of muslim bloggers - calling anyone who criticises islam a racist or bigot. Meanwhile, these same bloggers are silent when true racists are in their midst. On Ipouya's blog a poster name "iranianforaryans" whose hatred for non whites and Jews is legendary is either ignored or encouraged. Why? He's a muslim of course. And what does he have to say?
"God, I hate Jews! (Niggers, too!)"
iranianforaryans is not alone in his hatred. Muslim bloggers hate Jews with a surprising fervour. The next time some sack of islamic crap calls you an "islamophobe" remember their friend "iranianforaryans"...

Islamic murder mom...
Interviewer: Umm Nidal is a woman who voluntarily sacrificed her sons for the sake of resisting the occupiers. This woman always declared loud and clear: My sons did not commit suicide. My sons went and fought. None of them intended – even accidentally – to kill civilians, children or the elderly. They all resisted and confronted the enemy.
They had achievements and they were martyred.
Umm Nidal is with us today, because she is presenting herself to the world in a new capacity, as a candidate for the Palestinian Legislative Council.
Umm Nidal: I protect my sons from defying Allah, or from choosing a path that would not please Allah. This is what I fear, when it comes to my sons. But as for sacrifice, Jihad for the sake of Allah, or performing the duty they were charged with - this makes me happy.
Interviewer: What duty is this?
Umm Nidal: The sacred duty, Jihad for the sake of Allah. It is a sacred duty - one of the duties of Islam, which cannot be abandoned. We would be sinners if we did.
I prepared all my sons for jihad for the sake of Allah, whether by carrying out an attack, or by any other form of Jihad. I prepared myself for this. He who chooses a difficult road must be ready to bear the consequences.
Some people may consider this a tragedy, but by Allah, it is a blessing. When I hear about Muhammad’s martyrdom...
Interviewer: Tell me about the operation that Muhammad carried out.
Umm Nidal: Allah be praised, his operation was a large and successful one – one of the most successful operations of the first and second Intifadas.
Interviewer: Thousands of viewers, sitting at home, are worried that they are about to hear that Muhammad went to blow himself up among civilians - women and children. I’m sure that they are waiting to learn what Muhammad did. Did he set out to kill children, women and civilians - or what? In such a case, he might lose their sympathy. Go ahead.
Umm Nidal: Muhammad carried out his operation at a military academy. They were all soldiers. But on the issue of women and children - no one should blame us. These are war necessities.
We have never targeted women or children, but if they come in the way of an operation - it is considered a war necessity.

This could be your child or grandchild should islam worm its way into civilization...
Volume 2, Book 23, Number 413:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :
The Jew brought to the Prophet a man and a woman from amongst them who have committed (adultery) illegal sexual intercourse. He ordered both of them to be stoned (to death), near the place of offering the funeral prayers beside the mosque."

Islamic accomplishments – 2005
Not a definitive list of course - feel free to add your own...
The muslim rape gangs in Europe and Australia
The homicide bombers around the world
The massacre in London
Systemic wife-beatings
That islamic kook running Iran
Death threats for Irshad Manji
Head-chopping videos
Mohammad Sidique Khan, ringleader of the London bombings that killed 52 commuters who said "all non-Muslims must be slaughtered."
Clitorectomy’s for all muslim girls should their parents request them
The desire to remove all non-islamic churches and religious artifacts in their territory – they are offensive to them;
On Palestinian Authority TV, Sheik Ibrahim Mudeiris asked Allah in a Friday sermon to have mercy on "all the Muslims who died" in the tsunami. Which means everyone else is on his own. Next, the sheik railed against the disaster's cause, which was neither earth, skies nor anything divine in between. It seems it all had to do with "the oppression and corruption caused by America and the Jews" — naturally.
Washington DC - The Saudi Government said today it won’t allow non Muslims to seek its citizenship, Al-Watan newspaper reported. Spokeperson Al-Hanaya said “Islam is the religion and non Muslims won’t be allowed citizenship.”
The never-ending goal of imposing sharia law on civilization
More tiresome conspiracy theories; Did you hear that the Pope converted to Islam before he died? No, you didn’t? But that’s all over Egypt. Ohh and in case you haven’t heard, Bill Gates also declared his conversion to Islam.
“Every minute in the world a woman is raped, and she has no one to blame but herself, for she has displayed her beauty to the whole world,” Sheikh Feiz Muhammad
