POPSPopulate or perish: Pell Taking the racist line that we must breed up more soldiers to keep the infidel at bay. This at a time when David Attenburough regards overpopulation as the biggest of all the concerns for this planet ( and he is not the sole voice).

POPSThe Crusade to End All Crusades The People's Crusade is part of the First Crusade and lasted roughly six months from April 1096 to October. It is also known as the Peasants' Crusade or the Paupers' Crusade. Led by Walter the Penniless and Peter the Hermit, the army was destroyed by the Seljuk forces of Kilij Arslan.

POPS Rest In Peace, Benazir "It seems to me a certain humility is appropriate." The State Department geniuses thought they had it all figured out. They'd arranged a shotgun marriage between the Bhutto and Sharif factions as a "united" "democratic" "movement" and were pushing Musharraf to reach a deal with them. That's what diplomats do: They find guys in suits and get 'em round a table. But none of those representatives represents the rapidly evolving reality of Pakistan. Miss Bhutto could never have been a viable leader of a post-Musharraf settlement, and the delusion that she could have been sent her to her death. Earlier this year, I had an argument with an old (infidel) boyfriend of Benazir's, who swatted my concerns aside with the sweeping claim that "the whole of the western world" was behind her. On the streets of Islamabad, that and a dime'll get you a cup of coffee. We should be modest enough to acknowledge when reality conflicts with our illusions.

POPSFunny, Hill and Holy Joe have said nothin' about this
I consider censorship of any sort problematic, and almost certainly politically opportunistic. And nothing could underline this better than an extremely violent videogame that neither Hillary Clinton or Joe Libermann have condemned. Could it be because they don't like the idea of condemning religiously motivated violence in videogames? Not that I expect better of them, but supporters and constituents should be able to, don't you think? I'm putting these two in the same bin with Harry Reid, D Nevada, who's clearly more interested in pandering to bush than being on point for the interests of Nevadans. Here's a hint - there's DAMN few Nevadans that are in the economic top 1% you keep caving for. Oh, and Harry, where do YOU stand on the use of video games to desensitize home-schooled ignoramuses to the idea of religously motivated ethnic cleansing? I bet killing Mormons scores big in these games. I've probably missed anything you've said on the topic, and you might t

POPSAnnihilation of Infidels is the Goal of Radical Islamists Vijay Ayyagari is an awesome commentator. He is precise, unequivocal, and factual. He has made it clear that he is apolitical in his concern about the issue he has accurately assessed in his article. I am for what Mr. Ayyagari has pointed out here: this is an issue of survival. It is not an American party political issue to be tossed around in the noisy, provincial market of American feverish electioneering. To criticize his article from the point of view of the GOP/Dem party political brouhaha is to diminish Mr. Ayyagari's intent and value of his words. Unless we realize what we are about to lose my only advice is go and buy a Qur'an and a prayer-mat, join a fitnes-club to exercise your knee-caps for eventual multi-genuflections a day (I think at least four times a day) to Allah when Jihadism takes over.

POPSInfidel Escapes Rogue Bear Most reasonable people will be relieved that Ms. Gibbons is being released. But we must not forget that there is a sizable portion of fundamentalists still out there ready to be offended at the slightest infraction of their religious law. Reading the last paragraph of this clip I found it disturbing just how similar that situation appears to what we hear in the US today. The candidates are continually monitored and packaged so that their key supporters are not provoked or offended. We look at the situation in Sudan and on one hand it seems quite alien to our own culture but in fact the underlying message is the same. Don't question our beliefs, obey our dogma, accept our religion or the consequences will be severe.

POPSDawning light Armies of compassion? Would this be the same armies wanting to bring back the eye-for-an-eye, keep your servants in their place, brimstoning land of peace and happiness? So much choice now, mad mullahs in the east, nutty christians in the west, just need to the rest of the world's main religions to hop on the loopy bandwagon. But no doubt that will put me down as a heathen/infidel (tick as appropriate), and have either a crusade/jihad (again tick as appropriate) levelled against my fine person.

POPSTerrorist website; Minn. hosted. So,... one reaction might be,,.... to declare the sadness of how evil the human race is ...in some kind of detached manner, as if that is what we've been doing all along,....another might be to know this is evil right in our midst with the help and willful ignorance of elements of our own society. We might even call out the infidel decapitators and say "we know you're here and have our eye on you, in spite of our homegrown appeasers."

POPSAl Q #2 condemns the knighting of Salmon Rushdie Zawahiri praises the bombings of UN Peacekeepers in Lebanon, calls for jihad in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places...the usual boring bunk from the guy cowering in his cave...it's difficult when Iraqis are now joining in the efforts to force Al Qaeda out of their country... the 'infidel' is showing them more kindnesses than the headhackers do, making recruiting more nuts to kill themselves for allah, more difficult.

POPSThe Purpose Driven Life Takers (Part 1) Start here at the source and read on. Pretty frightening and illuminating. This series of articles isn't part of the Blog Against Theocracy, but it should be. This is a movement with every intention of taking over this country, and grandiose as it may seem, the world.

POPSRe-Thinking The War Here's looking forward to a time when clips on America's reputation are more fitting for the nation we aspire to be. When the next major terrorist attack comes, the question will simply be how much liberty Americans have left. That is a victory al Qaeda could not have achieved by force of arms. It is something they have achieved with our witting and conscious help.
