POPSUS Textbooks Misrepresent Jews, Israel A glossary entry on the Ten Commandments describes them as "Moral laws Moses claimed to have received from the Hebrew God Yahweh on Mount Sinai." The same glossary describes the Koran as a "Holy Book of Islam containing revelations received by Muhammad from God." "All in all, there are repeated misrepresentations that cross the line into bigotry," the authors write. Wow. Talk about getting your knickers in a knot. Outrageous misrepresentations? I daren't say a word.

POPS'There Is Absolutely No Reason for Islamophobia' Calls like that are welcome news to Yunus Ulusoy from the Center for Turkish Studies in Essen, which keeps track of the religiosity of Turkish Muslims. It's a demand, Ulusoy says, "that we've been making for decades because, for Muslims, faith is a very important part of their identity." In his opinion, if the school system doesn't pay any attention to this fact, it only hurts the chances of successfully integrating Muslims into German culture.

POPSPakistan Turns On Their Taliban September 5, 2008
Because TTP groups have long been involved in criminal activities, they have developed ties with major gangsters in the region. These guys want to maintain some contacts with the Islamic radicals, just in case, and help out by sharing their smuggling and money laundering contacts in the Persian Gulf. So for the government to really hurt the TTP financially, they will have to go after the criminal infrastructure the Taliban is allied with. That won't happen, because the widespread corruption in Pakistan includes a lot of connections, and cooperation, between government officials and major gangsters. So "freezing bank accounts" may sound impressive, but means less than other measures, like roadblocks on the major roads linking TTP controlled areas with the outside world. This is something the government has been using more of late, and it leads to many battles. The Taliban will constantly attack the checkpoints, and truck drivers will attempt, to bribe their way past the troops.

POPSGeert Wilders Very rarely nowadays does a radio interview provoke intense thought. Geert Wilders, rightly or wrongly, has chosen a course of action which offends the Muslim minority in his homeland, and the pinkie liberal effete who would rather betray every aspect of their heritage, to an ideology which promotes the amputation of limbs for petty theft and the discriminatory stoning of women for adultery. If that was enforced in the UK I know of several neighbourhoods that would rapidly be depleted of females whilst the obliging males would have to find other means of sexual gratification. Put this recording of the BBC 4 Choice programme on audio, listen whilst you knit a Union Flag for the troops in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and the Balkans, and in Northern Ireland - Ulster to many of us old farts, and for those taking drugs whilst the government orders those who do not to turn a blind eye. The ipod or recording can be listened to on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/thechoice/pip/o83py/

POPSDhimmi Dutch Prosecutors And Geert Wilders "Fitna" WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES SPIEGEL: You invoke the right to freedom of opinion but you demand a prohibition of the Koran. Does that not contravene the principle of religious tolerance? Wilders: For me, Islam is a vision of a society that defines all forms of interpersonal behavior -- from inheritance to criminal law. This ideology endangers our values. I hate it, I don't hate Muslims. SPIEGEL: Is the comparison between the Koran and Hitler's "Mein Kampf" not totally inappropriate? In making it, you're providing the imams with a perfect image of the enemy. Wilders: I want to provoke a discussion. Certain Koranic verses have moved their followers to commit the most abhorrent acts. Where is the imam who stands up in the Netherlands and says, for us, homosexuals are entitled to equal rights and everyone has the right to abandon their faith. http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/03/geert-wilders-i.html

POPSAnti-Jihad 'University': Bringing Insurgents In From The Cold While I was not permitted to talk privately with detainees, I visited both Camp Cropper, near Baghdad International Airport, and remote Camp Bucca, near Basra in southern Iraq. A major tipping point in the program, say officers, was when detainees began volunteering for the classes being offered. Although al-Qaida detainees and the Takfiris (another group of religious extremists) pressured fellow Iraqis against participating in the very popular religious discussions, over 3,000 detainees have done so. “After Iraqis here learn how to read and write, they can read the Koran themselves for the first time,” says Sheikh Ali, a Sunni who counsels detainees and who, like most of the Iraqis working in the program, declined to have his surname used and must live in an American-guarded compound to avoid reprisals. “I’ve seen detainees break down and cry when they realize that the conduct they thought was sanctioned by God is actually a sin.”

POPSKhaled Abou el Fadl: "God Does Not Have an Equal Partner" Khaled Abou el Fadl is both a prominent Islamic jurist and an American lawyer. In his many books he has accused radical Islamists of ignorance concerning the Koran and Sharia law. "We can debate God's will as much as we like. I encourage Muslims to do so in order to discover God's will," says Abou el Fadl. "If, however, we adopt a law and the state implements it, we cannot assume that it represents God's will. If, on the other hand, we give the state the power to represent God, that is not a democracy, but a form of ideology. This contradicts Islamic theology, because God does not have an equal partner." This is why the divine law should only cover questions of faith and should not be subject to the state. It is not the job of the state to regulate the relationship between God and the faithful. Deutsche Fassung: Khaled Abou El Fadl: "Gott hat keine Partner"

POPSJust who's side is the UN on. You are damn right the movie is anti-Islamic. And rightly so. The people the movie condems are animals. It doesn't incite anyone to violence, except maybe the Islamics who are pissed off because of the cartoon of Mohammed. The UN Sec Gen is an idiot. It is obvious that he has not seen the movie. OH, it is filled with hate speech and incitements of people to violence but those things are all taken from radical Islamic media outlets and the hate speech and incitements to violence are directed at us not the other way around. Just go and watch it. It is only 15 minutes long and it will make you stomach turn what these people are capable of.

POPSDutch Film Critical Of Islam Has Been Suspended Mr Wilders' film is entitled Fitna, an Arabic word used to describe strife or discord, usually religious. Mr Wilders wrote a commentary in a Dutch newspaper on Saturday. "Fitna is the last warning for the West. The fight for freedom has only just begun," he said. They include "material that is obscene, defamatory, libellous, unlawful, harassing, abusive... hate propaganda" and "profane, indecent or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature". Mr Wilders has had police protection since Dutch director Theo van Gogh was killed by a radical Islamist in 2004.

POPSThe First Barbary War On Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, Yussif Karamanli, the Pasha (or Bashaw) of Tripoli, demanded $225,000 from the new administration. (In 1800, Federal revenues totaled a little over $10 million.) Putting his long-held beliefs into practice, Jefferson refused the demand. Consequently, in May of 1801, the Pasha declared war on the United States, not through any formal written documents but by cutting down the flagstaff in front of the U.S. Consulate.
