Ahhh, The Shrieking Harpy

No, I'm not up on the latest news, and I apologize for this. Oddly enough, I've been in the hospital for a week. A freaking week! Yes, my stomach problems did mount to that much. But I just couldn't resist posting on this post from Little Green Footballs called The Shrieking Harpy Shrieks Again. Lest anyone forgets, The Shrieking Harpy is of course Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs (lack of link intentional, Charles has enough).
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/34884_The_Shrieking_Harpy_Shrieks_Again

Here's the scoop from Charles' side, and that's because Pamela seems to be attempting to malign Mr. Johnson by comparing him to the brilliant Joker As Played By Heath Ledger. Damn you, Shrieking Harpy! Some lines you just don't fucking cross, bitch! So, without further ado.....

Cover your ears, dear readers, because the shrieking harpy is shrieking again!

Newsmax contributor Pamela Geller’s latest illiterate rant accuses me of “demonizing the free men fighting the scourge of Jew hate, muhammadanism, sharia law and Islamic supremacism” (whew, that’s a mouthful)....

....The shrieking harpy’s rant includes a bonus inept Photoshop of yours truly, with Obama logos all over my clothes and Joker face paint, because we all know that the best way to convince people you’re right is to deface a picture of your enemy. Or should I say, “enemy plant?”

The enemy plant is up to his stupid pet tricks: Pamela Geller Praises English Defense League, Posts Photo of Nazi Salutes You have to wonder how much they are paying him.

If you have to ask how much “they” are paying, shrieking harpy, you can’t afford it.

But wait, there’s more, because Pammy may have been hitting the bottle again.

This insanity is not new. Just last month, toddlers were American toddlers were Nazis!

Run that one that one by me by me again? Is there an echo an echo in here here?

Meanwhile, the shrieking harpy’s latest post contains a video uploaded to YouTube by ... wait for it ... a supporter of the British National Party, the group of neo-Nazis that Pammy herself called “racist” in that very same post.

It’s almost too easy.

Yep, it's so easy Charles that half the web seems to engage in mocking the busty bloggeditrix. I might just have to 'friend' her on Facebook. Nah, she posts all of the pics of herself on her own blog. Or her calender. Or on YouTube.

The sad thing here is that prior to reading the shit she shovels, I did used to Skype with video quite a bit with Pamela, and through many late nights (sheesh, this is embarrassing to admit, but we used to just talk about being Moms and that kind of thing, not "Mohammedans") I never once saw her drink, never. Never ever. So despite the constant calls online that she is drunk as well as batshit crazy, I'm having to go with the just plain batshit crazy. New money batshit crazy. With a heavy dose of paranoia, yes, that's one bit I always recognized. But ranting about generic drugs is one thing, the daily Chicken Little fits thrown on her blog are a completely (and embarrassingly racist) different thing. I mean come on, for all the talk about her children and putting the younger ones in some of her YouTube "VLOGS", doesn't she realize that she's probably just as mocked at her kids' school as online? Wait, I forgot, she has some major world saving to do, and so few allies. She and Robert Spencer, with the occasional help of Andrew Bostom, Bat Ye'or and Fjordman (writer of Middle School Level Essays).

OK, there is one of my sad confessions and dispatches from my days in Wingnuttia which I pepper this blog with. I'll stop now for just a few goodies from the Lizards:

re: #16 LudwigVanQuixote

Charles... why do you have so many self hating Jews like me avidly reading and posting here?

I mean, I was just hanging out with Chomsky talking about how you do really good work keeping my people "in it's place."

Quiet! They're going to figure out where the money's coming from!

Actually, this notion of Pammy's that Charles is an "enemy plant" being paid (hahah!!) for whatever exactly Pammy thinks Obama and Co. are paying him for....ooops, that's who's paying....is it the reason he's being paid? I forgot to delve into The Shrieking Harpy's notions on this one. My fault.

Pam... you are apologizing for and supporting NAZIs. When they are done with the muslims... you're next. Why is this so difficult to understand?

Beautiful! Ahh well, I love it when a post comes together! It's good to be back;)

To Hijab Or Not To Hijab

(OK, I started this as a mail, but I just started turning it into a post after a bit...the Blogger in me won't stop, darn it!)


(This paragraph pertains to outlets and thanking MT Akbar for joining the govvs team) Hey there, I just wanted to thank you again for joining the govvs team. I've received several emails applauding your posts and your own blog.
I am about to pass out, I'm so exhausted, but I just got so excited about finding out about the Loonwatch site that I'm holding my eyelids up! I added pics to the Facebook page.

I wanted to ask you more about hijab. I know my pics are anything but modest over at Facebook (or MySpace), but I'm actually pretty modest. I'm pretty old-school at Church because I cover my head and wear no makeup. Lately though my 'Jane Austen scarves" are migrating up to my head. I don't know, it's that iffy sort of weather where you don't necessarily know you need a hat. But with my looks, I definitely look like a Muslimah (....continued from the wee hours of the morning now.....), which is odd because I look rather like my Persian twin friends (though they are from Iran, not just their parents, so the accents are THICK and yes, I realize that Shi'a refugees from such a different culture obviously aren't going to have the cultural norms of Saudis or Indonesians, etc.) definitely do not wear hijab and really work it, and I'm frequently with them (**** from Teheran says that most Persian women really work it with the clothes, almost a la Pammycakes back in Michigan where he's from--he, of course, is on FB too). I also am in remission with trigeminal neuralgia, and covering the face is quite desirable when that is flaring up. Oh, I run around and act like a kid, despite my illnesses, never fear, not slowing me down!

Anyways, I'm always wearing some sort of hat anyway, whether a thrift shop golf hat or an old school flight helmet, I'm just a goofball. I've just now switched to scarves, rather long ones, and the reaction publicly is kind of weird! In stores I frequent employees ask if I've converted/reverted or if this is for Ramadan. Strangers really look strangely at me, as I'm usually wearing a (University of Kansas) Jayhawks sweatshirt or something to run to the store. They either do a triple take or just plain stare or sneer. So odd, and I'm merely covering up my head! I'd be writing this to other people, but they don't come from ancestries where this is considered still current.

I must stress this, because even my Grandmother, who hated hats and gloves, still speaks of when it became acceptable here not to wear them. Though trading them for beehives I've often found baffling, even if they did simultaneously trade their form fitting girdled clothes into Mumus not showing their figures, at least in her generation. As for women's rights, so touted here but bashed in most of the Muslim world, we couldn't even vote here until the year of her birth, and despite choosing to have a career, she was openly told that she would never be promoted above the post of Secretary nor make equal pay. On the other side of the family, my Great Great Grandmother left the Orthodox Church due to her perceived prejudices within it against women. Even outside of the U.S. headscarves are hardly uncommon in different spots of the world, Latin America and Eastern Europe coming to mind among other spots, and even showing one's ankle was unacceptable here in the United States (or the rest of the West) until the very late 1910s-1920s.

So why then so much interest when I run into a store, stop to fill up my car, or pick my children up somewhere wearing a headscarf? Why do I get asked the absurd question, "Are you Islamic?" (Oh, how I love that phrasing!!)? Scowled at by Dudes in pick-ups with peeing Calvin stickers who are perhaps as Christian as I am? Whose relatives came here perhaps much later than mine? Is this Islamo-interest or Islamo-phobia, and if so, will it soon vanish as it has in largely Muslim areas and big cities, melting into the pot?

Oddly, where I live, we had an enormous influx of immigrants from India who are almost entirely Hindu about 20 years ago. For some reason, they settled in an area the border of which is pretty much the major street I live just South of. Now that more Muslims are moving here, many from India or Pakistan, but now a larger contingent of Palestinians, they have chosen the area South of the street I live 4 blocks South of! I live equidistant from two Target stores, and the Northern one is mostly white Americans, the Wal-Mart to the North more filled with those owing their ancestry to the Indian Subcontinent. Scarves in these stores abound, just not so tightly around the head, and the saris flow with bright colors. Just one neighborhood South (I moved here in 1990 and have lived here off and on since, so this has been most interesting to watch) the Pakistanis and Muslim Indians chose their area, which has quickly grown a new Islamic Center and Mosque, small but there, and is now attracting the newer contingent of immigrants from Palestine and other countries in which my new penchant for my headscarf fits right in. In these places I get stared at as well, but by smiling Muslim women with slightly quizzical looks as if trying to place how they know me. Even if I'm not a part of it (and I'm too faithful a Christian to ever be), there is a community so there is logically a warm feeling of community, one that has spread through that neighborhood amongst everyone, Muslim or not, hijab or not.

So despite my hearty (and, um, meaty) protest of Australia's Sheik Hilaly over his infamous "uncovered meat" speech (I know, that picture in a writing about love of hijab, what can I say, I was different about what would show back then, I've changed for the better IMHO and it's rather more rebellious to wear hijab these days in America than to show your legs in heels like that), I meant with my protest to stand for all women. I know if I were forced to wear certain things I'd go nuts and be a rebel, even as I started dying my jet black hair reds and purples in the early 90s in college. Oooops, and were those piercings on my face? Now that everyone seems to put crazy colors in their hair, I leave mine undyed (Age also plays a factor here...LOL). Now that I don't live in South Florida where being "brown" was the norm, I have dispensed with my SPF 90 sunblock as well. For women who don't want to wear any form of hijab, even just the scarf, I stand fully by them for the right to dress as they please as well.

Don't think by any of this that I keep wearing a headscarf just to be different, either. They're just quite practical to my needs. I don't get bent out of shape if it slips and shows my hair, I don't bother if it's on so good and the rest of my clothes are long and looser to the point that I fit right in with the Muslimahs here in their hijab. So for now, I'm just not going to worry about what people say. Once it's colder I'll probably switch back to one of my well-lined pilot hats. But as I remember in our representation of India in a school fair last year, beautifully colored scarves everywhere enhance female beauty like few clothes I know of Western origin (at least of those still in use), and as for the full black? Well, do I much wear anything else anyway? I get wild and venture out to greys and browns sometimes, but most of my clothes are black anyway, as are most of my scarves.

For those people online (my usual targets here) who say I'm a "dhimmi" (what, to Persian friends who don't wear hijab?), or a victim of "multiculturalism"/"multi-culti", my clothing antics are truly more along the 'Melting Pot' model. I have borrowed something I love from a newer group of immigrants, much like all of the wonderful foods, and am using it as I like to, with no complaints from any Muslims I meet.

Welcome "Gates of Vienna Watch" To the Ranks!

Hat Tip: LGFWatch

I was rather thrilled to see yet another 'stalker site' (to use Sharmutaese), this one dedicated entirely to Gates of Vienna. Yes, we now have Gates of Vienna Watch added to the ranks of those of us following and lampooning those wacky wingnut haters! So head on over there where the commentary on the oh-so-charming web Islamophobic Chicken Littles continues (yeah, yeah, yeah, I suffered from this syndrome rather briefly...I need no reminding, please....). Of course, Baron and Dymphna must be so proud, but being possibly the wackiest of the bigger sites out there, this blog is long overdue. (Actually, I have some of my earlier posts on the insanity of GoV and its owners at my other blog, Strange Girl Without a Strange Land still, and those letters from Dymphna, archived here as well, are priceless)

Also, for those of you on Facebook (is anyone not?), my fellow blogger here has invited me to a hilarious new spot there, LoonWatch (and yes, Pammycakes and Lil' Bobby-socks figure in quite a bit there too). If you don't have Facebook, or simply want the full monty here, there is a Loonwatch.com, which is even better! Ahhh, I'm loving the web right now.

Have fun out there! It just gets better and better, doesn't it?

Won What?

WTF?


Maybe it'll make sense when I'm home from the Hospital tomorrow, but Pamela rarely wins anything real when she posts some of these "Charles sucks" type anti-LGFer mania links:

Dispatch From Lex's Sickbed

OK, I was away for quite some time there. Now I'm back, but I'm sick as a dog! I wouldn't even be posting this had I not been tipped off to some more soap opera scenes worthy of those Daytime TV Awards, the ooooops-I-forgot-because-no-one-remembers-that-shit. So anyway, I'll pull your attention to the idiotic antics of Robert Spencer, currently spinning like a top in some attempt to legitimize himself, and the LGF Machine, still rightfully laughing away at Spinsters wackiness. As for Pamela Geller, she is posting so fast that her spell-check has died of exhaustion and her look-at-me-!!!-and-my-boobs!!!-- pics are hard to scroll to find. Ahh well, where to begin? I think at Jihad Watch, yes, here we go:

Libelblogger Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs digs deeper, adding new lies to his original ones

One must step back and wonder: what is this man's game? Why would he make up lies, see them refuted by people who were present at the events he claims to know about, and then instead of backing down or at least falling silent, pile more lies upon his original ones? Inevitable questions arise about why he has embarked on this desperate smear campaign, intent on demonstrating that I and others are "fascists" or "fascist sympathizers," without a shred of actual evidence that I sympathize with or agree with any positions that are fascist, racist, etc., associate with any people who really are those things, or hold any positions other than the ones I have publicly avowed.

WHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just head over there for the comments, the holier than thou goooooop and some posts above that are begging to be parodied by someone whose fever is far lower than mine. Now back to Little Green Footballs, where Charles has lazily swatted this little kitty toy about in the midst of a rather newsworthy week:

Robert Spencer and the Extremists, Continued

World | Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 5:41:52 pm PDT

More information has come out about Robert Spencer’s association with the extremist bigots of the Christian Action Network, and the aborted meeting with the English Defense League from which he’s now desperate to distance himself: The EDL Dines Alone.

And the lesson behind all of this madness is really that Robert Spencer, along with gal-pal Pamela Geller, try so very hard to be seen with the right bigots that they end up littering the web with far too many quotes that they would surely expunge were they not trying to out-do Chuck Yeager using only a laptop and YouTube. Or as Charles puts it:

Not a word of that is false. And now we learn that the other people Spencer was meeting with that night were very upset about the planned attendance of the English Defense League. Not a word from Spencer about that little tidbit.

More Spencer:

...I will not work with racists, fascists, neo-Nazis, etc.

But raving homophobic religious fanatics like the Christian Action Network — no problem working with them! After all, they hate Muslims almost as much as they hate gay people, so they can’t be all bad.

Yes, rather like Pamela's cementing comments after Brussels 2007, "But they support ISRAEL!!!". UM, yeah. Uh huh. OK, now for some pics and then I shall post this, and don't say I don't love you all dearly after posting this in my ruddy condition, cause baby, I do.

See? Just look at how Pamela seems to be either trying to embarrass this fellow or trying to peel back her shirt for him. The truth? I'll let you all figure it out or just leave it to giggle at. Just know that I may not be 100% right now, but I'm still highly entertained by these little blurbs I find out there. Ahh, wingnuttery, Red in tooth and claw;)

Arf!

Craziest Blogger Rants About Nirth Certifikit at Newsmax

One of the craziest bloggers on the web, Pamela Geller, who once wrote — in all seriousness — that Barack Obama was the love child of Malcolm X, has another Nirth Certifikit article published by right-wing site Newsmax: Newsmax.com - Obama Birth Certificate Issue Causing Needless Distractions.

There’s no point in quoting this pile of raving nonsense, except to note that the title makes it appear more moderate than it really is (it’s completely nuts), and this is probably the first time the words “Foe shizzle” have appeared in a Newsmax article.

Geller, by the way, is responsible for our mocking term “Nirth” — in the title of one of her illiterate rants at her site, she missed the ‘B’ in birth certificate and typed ‘N’ instead, then left it uncorrected for more than 24 hours.

Geller openly supports European fascist groups, and has almost single-handedly validated all of CAIR’s claims of “Islamophobia” with a long string of blatantly bigoted anti-Muslim posts. Conservative news sites that give Geller a platform for her whacked out delusions and hate speech are doing the conservative movement a huge disservice.

Robert and Charles at it Again

We've been a little tardy in documenting the latest flare up between Charles Johnson and Robert Spencer but it seems the two ex-buddies are at it again. Overall the nastiness seems a little more pronounced from Spencer's side.

In what must have been an obvious mistake the ALA (American Library Association) invited Spencer to be a panelist on the topic of "Perspectives on Islam: Beyond Stereotyping." To say the least this lead to a lot of people wondering whether or not this wasn't some sort of bad joke or something out of an edition of The Onion.

When the other panelists realized who Spencer was and that he would be partaking they canceled their participation. They were prompted to do so by an open letter sent to the ALA by a group of scholars, librarians and concerned individuals.

Spencer's head almost burst and he let off a 2,300 worded assault on ALA, Charles Johnson, CAIR, FAIR and probably some others.

Most importantly for us he went after Chuck with some real venom. This one must have hurt Spencie!

Now the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), true to form, has gotten into the act, sending the ALA a fresh steaming pile of defamation, lies, and distortions (drawing once again on material from its favorite useful idiot, the discredited, thoroughly dishonest Charles Johnson of that cesspool of lies and hate, Little Green Footballs), asking that I be dropped from the ALA panel.

Wow, what a morsel to chew on. This whole Blog War really makes that old adage of the pot calling the kettle black ring true. Isn't Spencer a useful idiot for his fascist friends in Europe, Geert Wilders and company? Isn't it dishonest of him to claim he doesn't hate Islam and Muslims, that he is just saying what Islam says when in fact he does hate Islam, as anyone (like those who wrote the open letter) can tell? Also what is more of a cesspool of lies and hate than JihadWatch? As Lex brilliantly put together the comment section is largely an in-gathering of some wacky wacky people. I wouldn't be surprised if the Russo-German murderer of Marwa Sherbini learned his hatred of hijab wearing women from Jihad Watch.

Spencer gets a little verbose on ole' Chuck, "Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs wrote a series of frenzied, nakedly mendacious posts in April about this Pro Köln meeting" and then he says in defense of his comment moderation, "Johnson was lying, of course. It is noteworthy that he offered no examples of such comments, and couldn't, because whenever we see such comments, we remove them." To deny murderous and genocidal comments are regular parlance on Jihad Watch is to skirt the facts. I mean it isn't like those commenter's are any different than Spencer. They must be learning from him considering he joined a genocidal group which advocated the conquest of Turkey and the complete demographic change of its population. He has yet to unequivocally condemn that group and explain why he was in it.

Also notice the shrill accusations of lie amongst other things being thrown at poor ole Chuck. Spencer repeated the accusations numerous time, "idiot, discredited, dishonest, cesspool, lies, frenzied, mendacious, lying." Phew, did he have a thesaurus next to him or what?

Charles of course took a few lines and just gloated at the renunciation served Spencer. The ex-counter-Jihadist pretty well noted that Spencer went a little bonkers at his denial from the panel, "Spencer, meanwhile, blames me for it, in a bizarre 2300-word rant that’s nearly incoherent with rage and venom."

Bizarre? Yes. A rant incoherent with rage and venom? Yes. Did he blame Chuck for it? He wanted to really bad but didn't blame Chuck directly, and so in a delusion of self-aggrandizement Chuckster revelled in the wacking Spencer received. We'll let him get away with it if they just keep up this back and forth.

(hat tip: Jeppo)

When the news just sail past unmentioned..

What does it take for Robert Spencer and Pamela "Atlas Shrieks" Geller - surely shining beacons of objective and balanced independent reporting - to start reporting on violence against Muslims by people driven by the hate they are spreading?

Well, nothing really..

Not even if a Russian immigrant to Germany stabs an Egyptian woman to death in front of her husband and 3 year old child ("LITTLE TERRORIST IN THE MAKING!!1!!1one!") inside a German court after she sued him for calling her a terrorist and a whore.

And as of now, not even Charles "supposedly-so-leftist-that-Karl-Marx-is-Hitler-in-comparison" Johnson has mentioned anything about the story. But I'll have to hand it to him: Contrary to some certain individuals, he will most probably see why this incident is deeply disturbing, and not try to convince the world that the woman (in no way a victim of rampant Islamophobia) had absolutely no right to pursue her legal rights in requesting justice from a court of law - which had ruled in her favour, by the way - and that the hijab-clad woman had probably gotten what she deserved from this definitely-not-islamophobic man rightfully fighting for freedom and democracy in the wake of the Islamic threat that is lurking around every corner and behind every tree, waiting to burn down all homes and poison all aquariums. Or something..

Pamela Geller: Dispatches From Over the Rainbow

I don't even know how to post on this post, it's so nuts. Is Geller being serious here, or is she trying to ruin Atlas Shrugs unintentionally yet again? Here it is in screen cap form:

or:

The EU and the rest of their surrender monkeys are doing the jihad's bidding. Once again the Euros are beating the Jews for not working hard enough, not eating enough dirt. Eat the dirt! Faster! The Jews have not created enough economic opportunities to the jihadis. The Jihad destroyed the industries. BUILD THEM AGAIN, JEW! The Jews have not created enough jobs for the Jew hating jihadis, the Jews have not furnished enough fresh fruit, fresh meat, fresh water for Hamas and for the Jew hating jihadis.

The Jews have done everything for the jihad in Gaza. They left whole industries intact, they deliver fresh water, fresh bread, fresh food, blah blah blah ..............it doesn't matter.

Europe is rubbing its hands in glee secretly rooting for those to accomplish what it couldn't during World War II. But not to worry, they'll get theirs. They traded the lives of six million Jews for 56 million Muslims. Good luck with that, geniuses.

Does anyone here understand this in a way that makes Pamela Geller not look like a complete kook? Well, at least now she's saying that her formerly beloved Europe will "get theirs". I should do a count of how many references are made here to the Nazis as well. One link in just this piece leads to another Atlas Shrugs piece with Goebbels in the title (see OP, the link keeps freezing up on me).

Alas, just enjoy the wacked out paranoia yes again of Pamela Geller.

Pamela Geller Finally Admits Online that she's Pro-Choice

This has irked me for quite some time now. In previous conversations, Pamela and I rarely discussed politics that much. We did get to abortion once, however, and I thought my pro-life stance as an essentially leftist would go over as weirdly as it usually does. Instead, Pamela responded in her fast-talking manner that oh no, she is indeed pro-choice and for that "freedom", us agreeing not to bring it up again.

So imagine my surprise when I started reading her blog critically and see that she never, ever gets to the topic of abortion. With her conservative base of readers I always wondered what she'd do if that came up. Would she simply lie to keep her readers or stay true to herself and be honest? Well, I've got to hand it to her, she was honest. She didn't report on George Tiller, but she found a way in a post on Islam to stick her abortion views .....of course, it's all about Islam--or unwavering support of Israel. This is from her post:

DAMN YOU, GLORIA STEINEM!

And damn every other high minded leftopathic feminist who cloaks herself in self righteousness and Palinesque scorn. Damn every woman who calls herself a feminist and stands on the mall in DC, righteous in her indignation for the late term abortion and the right to kill viable babies (btw, I am pro-choice - early that is) while turning her cheek at Islam's misogyny.

Full of shitniks, all. We see through you empty vassals.

I'll admit, this is a criticism of feminism I've long held, that if you stand up for women you stand up for all women, not just whomever it is trendy to defend at that moment. Women of the entire world should count (so long as one is really standing up for what is viewed in their culture is oppression, not OUR view of oppression. OK, you caught me, I am saying something nice about Atlas Shrugs for once. That bit of being nice, however, is nullified a bit by this post:

The only thing that could replace the media's obsession with the murder of a late term abortion doc is a .........right wing Nazi (National Socialists are lefties, but why split hairs?). I was floored last night while watching an exchange between Ellis Henican (Newsday) and Bill O'Reilly discussing that lack of coverage for the jihadi who murdered a US soldier, wounded another and planned attacks of churches, Jewish centers and other targets.

(emphasis mine)

OK, too much insanity in that post to bother analyzing, but why split hairs, here? LOL...Her screed against FoxNews' Sheperd Smith has also made World Net Daily. Wow. It's rough just not being harsh enough with a loony gunman. In a sea of posts however, you will find old news, such as the torture and murder of Ilan Halimi, honor killings, acid attacks, and the shooting at the Holocaust Museum. Nothing on the murder of George Tiller. Why the disparity, Pamela?

Pamela Geller's Hate Makes No Sense

Awwww, poor Pamela Geller. She still can't figure out what hate speech is after spewing it for years:

REPORTING HATE CRIME AS A WEAPON TO SHUT FREE MEN UP

Hate crimes, smears and libels meant to shut people up and freedom of speech down. I have said many, many times that hate crime legislation is very dangerous. Orwellian. Who decides what is hate?
There are laws on the books for crimes. Rule of law. All crime is hate -- so why "special classes"? There are no special classes under the Constitution. All men equal. Not in the age of Obama.

Of course previously, it wasn't about Obama, it was just the same description of "Orwellian" blamed on the most useful enemy, usually Nancy Pelosi. "All crime is hate". Hmmm, and that leaves this question for Pamela of who is to decide if her blog is in fact "hate speech"? Must be confusing, especially with posts like this, where you can barely make out what she means?:

OBAMA, YOU WANT TORTURE IMAGES? U.S. "TORTURE" VS ISLAMIC TORTURE

Obama's party wants to release the "torture" photos (Abu Ghraib redux). Why is this back again? Why do the Democrats want to put our soldiers and Americans worldwide in danger? Why does this return every couple of weeks?

This would be grist for the America hating world for months, years to come. Why not give worldwide media to Islamic torture? Here's a sample.

GRAPHIC GRAPHIC VIDEO! REAL TORTURE .... in Islam

Following is a video from something called "MuhammadTube"....I'm not joking....then an excerpt from the following screed:

"Senator Graham and I will not go quietly in the night because the safety of our troops and our nation is on the line," Lieberman said at a news conference Tuesday alongside Graham.

Neither will Atlas go quietly.

Graham said U.S. troops have enough to do without "Congress adding to their burdens. So nothing's going forward until we get this right."

The question over the release of the photos is one of two key issues that is jamming up final consideration of a major, emergency spending bill to fund the war in Iraq, efforts in Pakistan and Afghanistan and prepare for the H1N1 flu.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was reportedly ready to kill Senate efforts to ban the release of the photos for three years, but only on the condition that a federal judge block an ACLU lawsuit asking for the pictures.

She's a pig.

I have access to heart stopping videos (dozens much worse than this one .... much worse). This treasonous administration wants to destroy the foundations of this country. These videos and others like them will put the administration and the vermin who are pushing this "torture" nonsense on notice, and their propaganda into perspective.

If they release those abu ghraib pics, I am going to release all my jihad videos. Word.

OK, so she'll release videos of people being decapitated if Abu Ghraib pictures are banned? Word? Geller's thoughts on 'hate speech' would be a bit more gripping if they made more sense. Perhaps she should just read her own blog for a change if she wants to find out what "hate speech" is. "MuhammadTube"? Start there, OK? Honestly.

George Tiller: Thoughts

I must admit I've been troubled by the murder and the coverage of late term abortionist George Tiller of Wichita, Kansas. Having gone to the University of Kansas I remember womens' groups with poster boards in the student unions asking people to sign "thank yous" to Tiller for providing his "services". My trouble with this is that I am rather strongly against abortion, especially late term, yet I'm not with the protesters who go to far with their "Tiller the Killer" picketing.


Living in Kansas we have frequent lighting rod issues (which is why I spend as much time as possible in Florida, where the issues are just plain weird), and Tiller down in Wichita (about 3 hours away from me) has been a target and villain for some, a hero and symbol for womens' freedoms for others. I admittedly been ill and didn't catch the news until a bit later in the week.

So there is the conundrum; how to feel when you think that murdering a man in his church is terribly wrong when you also have long despised the same man for destroying so many lives? With that question, I'd like to open the debate here.

David Carradine R.I.P.

I'm a bit late with this I realize, but I really have been that sick. One of my favorite actors has died. David Carradine, whom I've loved as Kwai Chang Caine of both "Kung Fu" television shows (yes, I did watch the 90s version) to the "Kill Bill" films was found dead in Thailand where the actor was shooting a film. Condolences may be left at his official site.

Here's Carradine in one of the best death scenes in film history, in Kill Bill 2, his final scene with Uma Thurman. The music is Ennio Morricone, originally from the soundtrack for Navajo Joe:

Baron's Idea of a "Distributed Counterjihad Network"

Time to go 'round the twist again and into the warped mind of Baron Bodissey over at Gates of Vienna. This isn't a Blog War post, but in essence what it's all about; how to organize, who to trust and work with, trying to get rid of Muslims in the West, good wholesome things like that. And heeeeeeeeeereees Baron!:

The Distributed Network

I. Introduction

What we’re doing here is something relatively new: the organization of a Counterjihad network using the Internet and other forms of global electronic communication.

The work we do must remain at least partially clandestine for three reasons:

1. The governments of our countries are repressive.

The evidence for this assertion is that even here in Denmark, most people prefer to be pseudonymous. The situation is even worse in the UK, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, France, and the Netherlands. In those countries, people with opinions like ours can be arrested and prosecuted.

2. There is also unofficial repression.

The violent actions against “racists” by Antifa and similar groups are permitted, condoned, and tacitly supported by the various Left and Center-Left parties that head the governing coalitions in most European countries.

3. The danger of attacks by Muslims.

If you add to the above the risk of being killed by the Religion of Peace — keeping Theo Van Gogh and Kurt Westergaard in mind — it’s no wonder that people prefer to do this sort of work under pseudonyms.

Thus the problem is to organize extensive, robust, and effective Counterjihad groups without putting our people at risk, and without courting the dangers that would discourage new people from joining.

This is where distributed networks come in.

II. What is a distributed Network?

1. Decentralized

A distributed network has no “boss”, and no hierarchy except at the very local level. No one can issue orders or commands over the larger network and expect them to be obeyed.

This means that decision-making can be slow and frustrating. Before it can be implemented, an idea has to spread through the larger network, excite discussion, and be determined to serve the interests of the different components of the network.

This process takes time, but it also means that decisions are likely to be more appropriate and effective when they are finally arrived at.

Once an idea takes hold, action within the network tends to proceed very quickly.

2. Flexibility

Because there is no individual or small group controlling the distributed network, new ideas may arise and be accepted easily. The variety of contributing groups is a guarantee against rigidity and narrowness of approach.

Because there is no hierarchy, information in the network flows through multiple horizontal paths of communication, and not simply up or down the branches of a “tree”. If one component or sub-network opts out of any particular action, others will participate, accomplishing the same task through alternative means.

Much of this flexibility thus arises from:
- - - - - - - - -
3. Redundancy

People within the network may burn out, change allegiances, lose interest, or take on other work, so that redundancy is an absolute necessity. For any given function and within any given region, there should be multiple ways of accomplishing the same task, and multiple channels through which information travels.

III. How is a distributed network structured?

Hydra nerve netVisualize the distributed network as a nervous system, but not the type normally associated with a vertebrate animal — no brain or spinal cord. Instead imagine an earthworm or a hydra, with a number of ganglia (nodes) connected by nerve pathways.

If you remember from your high school biology class, when an earthworm is cut into several pieces, each fragment may well survive and grow into a full-sized earthworm.

1. Nodes

The nodes in our networks consist of people, either acting alone as individual contacts, or as a stand-ins for a larger group, in effect functioning as gateways or domain controllers for other networks.

Thus Aeneas is here today as a node in the same network that contains me and the rest of you, but at the same time he is a portal opening onto a much larger collection of people who form an anti-jihad network in the UK.

Each node may represent a specialized function, either as performed by an individual or a group. For example, a contact in the network may function primarily as a maker of videos, but may also represent a small group of colleagues who perform the other specialized tasks required — video recording, audio dubbing, graphic effects, subtitling, etc. The larger network is thus aware only of the individual and his representative function, but the sub-network contains the additional components.

The most specialized function of all is perhaps that of the “idea man”, the theoretician, the thinker who contributes components of the ideological framework that guides the entire network. The theoretician may be hooked into the network by only one or two connectors, even though his may well be one of the most valuable contributions.

Most people, however, will act as nodes in multiple overlapping networks. This is what gives the distributed network its power and flexibility.

Under conditions of extreme political repression, the nodes of the network may be structured as “cells” on the traditional revolutionary model, so as to limit damage in the event any individual is compromised.

2. Connectors

The connectors or links which join the nodes together are harder to define — they consist of the lines of communication between people, in whatever forms these may take. Ideally, each node will connect in multiple ways to a significant number of other nodes, adding to the general flexibility and redundancy of the network.

Possible connectors include email, instant messaging, telephone, snail-mail, face-to-face meetings, carrier pigeon, etc. — any medium through which human beings may communicate with one another.

Under conditions of extreme political repression, the old-fashioned media — written messages and face-to-face meetings — will come to the fore again.

IV. Optimum size and functionality

To operate effectively, a non-hierarchical network must be limited in size. A single node — one person, possibly representing a larger group — cannot function efficiently with more than 60-80 connectors to other nodes.

I have personal experience with the effects of too many connections, because I exceeded that limit some time ago, and my network activities have become that much less effective as a result.

When a node in the network exceeds the maximum size limit, the problem can be resolved in one of two ways:

1. The network can be transformed into a hierarchical one, with sub-networks that operate in subordination to the main node, or
2. The network can undergo “mitosis”, splitting into two or more independent networks, with a division of resources among the “children” as seems appropriate, and with continuing communication via representative nodes in each child.

A combination of the two strategies is probably the optimum result. Sub-networks may spontaneously organize themselves, recognizing an informal and voluntary hierarchy within a larger network of networks. Groups of people who feel comfortable working together can perform specialized functions, with an assigned spokesman acting as a single node in the larger network.

The network as a whole may also split along regional or other lines, with overlapping nodes allowing for continued contact and communication. This is especially appropriate within a language group, and people with skills in multiple languages will naturally tend to become “ambassador” nodes acting as connectors to various super-networks.

You can see this process at work in the evolution of the ICLA network, which began as the 910 Group and later expanded to become CVF.

The original core group consisted of a handful of activists from the United States, Canada, and Europe. The first mitosis occurred when European operations became largely separate. This group [the attendees at the Copenhagen meeting] represents the European network, which for some bizarre reason has an American acting as one of its major coordinating nodes!

The European network has also formed sub-networks, including a UK group, a Swedish group, an Austrian group, a French group, a Finnish group, and so on. At the same time new liaisons have developed between our network and other existing networks. One successful liaison is our relationship with the Italian Counterjihad groups, as developed by Gaia.

An example of a successful sub-network on the basis of function is the video production group — a loose and fluid collection of people who make (or reproduce) videos, transcribe, translate, and subtitle the final product. This group acts independently to produce material, and then connects to the larger network through me or one of the other nodes to distribute its work.

V. Why a distributed network?

We — the European Counterjihad — are compelled by necessity to form a distributed network, because we operate without funding. Whenever funding is available, a hierarchical network naturally results, because one person (or a small group) controls the flow of money, and the other nodes in the network are answerable to him. A hierarchical tree forms, based on the distribution of monetary resources.

The head of a funded hierarchical network can act as a node in a larger distributed network, but the “money man” himself will inevitably command a hierarchy.

A hierarchical network obviously has its advantages — when money is available, the network can act in ways that we can only dream of.

But a hierarchy is brittle — a break in one of the major branches of the tree disables those smaller branches that lie further out and depend on it.

A hierarchy is also susceptible to incompetence and corruption. When the head of the hierarchy ceases to function optimally for either of these reasons, the entire network is effectively disabled. The absence of institutional redundancy and alternative pathways prevents information from routing around the damaged areas.

The distributed network thus has major advantages in resilience and flexibility. With no central authority, we cannot be corrupted from the top. And when part of the network is compromised or disabled, alternative pathways form almost immediately around the damaged portion.

VI. Creating and enhancing the distributed network

The formation of a distributed Counterjihad network is a natural process, as like-minded people band together in pursuit of a common purpose. It would occur in any case, without anyone being conscious of the process or thinking about how to bring it into being.

However, being aware of the theoretical issues can expedite the process.

The four major tools employed in building the network are (1) the recognition of a common interest, (2) personal relationships, (3) the art of persuasion, and (4) the ability to delegate.

1. A common interest

Our common interest is the Counterjihad; that is, the resistance to the Islamization of the West, and the affirmation and strengthening of Western cultural values. This is clear enough.
http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
However, it’s a good idea to pay attention to the places where various interests diverge. An example of this would be the Jew-haters: I reject them not only because I find their ideology repugnant (which I do), but also because our interests diverge. If opposing the Jews is a paramount interest for a group, it will eventually join forces with the Muslims against us. We cannot make common cause.

On the other side are the Nazi-phobes: the people who are so afraid of being branded Nazis or racists that they will do anything to avoid such a fate. Ultimately our interests will diverge, because being called “Nazis” and “racists” is something we simply cannot avoid as long as our primary mission is to resist the Great Jihad.

I did NOT make any of that up. It is actually posted here at Hates of Vienna and I highly recommend you read the rest, because this is pure gold as it goes for reading the thoughts of someone so immersed in this online "counter-jihad" garbage that the rest of their brain becomes subdued and stops working. Note that he says, "We--the European Counterjihad--". HA! No wonder he doesn't mind the Vlaams Belang. He'd just as soon have an anti-Muslim section of the U.S. secede from the rest of us out here. But like a good little laptop warrior, he at least wants to draw strengths from his "enemies":

Remember: this is what our enemies among the “anti-fascists” and the Muslims are very effective at. Those anti-Motoon riots that broke out all over the world at about the same time were not spontaneous. They were coordinated and carefully timed.

However, they were not centrally controlled. No “Jihad Boss” issued orders telling everyone what to do — the perpetrators were simply acting within a distributed network that functioned very effectively. They were all working with a common interest: Islam.

These are the characteristics we should seek to emulate. As we contemplate future actions, we need to keep in mind that any action planned and launched in one country should have “brother actions” across Europe, and even the whole of the Western world.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

The above analysis is mainly concerned with content, and not with process. The theory and practice that I have outlined are independent of ideology. Our enemies can — and do — utilize distributed networks to facilitate terror attacks, penetrate the West, and subvert our institutions. In fact, they are way ahead of us in this regard.

But they are working at a disadvantage: they are slaves of Allah.

And we are free.

Gosh darn "slaves of Allah"! They take so much of Baron's precious time! Imagine him retiring comfortably with Dymphna out in the boonies except that they've had to start helping to build the "counter jihad network"! This is one thing I love about Baron. His ideas were put out there and even congratulated as inspiring those to build up (with Baron's help) the Center for Vigilant Freedom and the 910 Group. When asked about this here, however, Baron humbly claimed that it wasn't his idea or work that created either group. It just took up all of his time and the ideas there were all essentially his. This post represents more of this thinking. The organization of a "movement" along with the hows, whys and why nots.

So, if Baron can only get his little network up and running, regardless of model, then he will be poised to strike in a similar fashion as the cartoon rioters. Yeah, great model to look up to, Baron. Baron Hates Muslim Rioters + but their tactics worked = Baron must post a model on which his 'movement' can do something similar. And that's why we call him Baron Oddity!

Now on with our regularly scheduled program....

Update: Rev. Sutter of Chasing Evil.org has posted my initial Baron Heads photoshop, and everyone's having a good laugh at my idea of Baron being the sole member of his organizations. Please go ahead and use the photoshop if you want to, I don't mind at all. Unless you're with Muslims Against Sharia (Non-Muslims, that is). Otherwise, go ahead.

Robert Spencer doesn't want to link to us but he wants to argue about the Golden Rule

To echo Rodney Dangerfield, "Why can't we get any respect around here?" A while back I posted an article which debunked the argument made by Ali Sina and supported by Robert Spencer that Islam somehow is the only religion along with Satanism that doesn't contain or value the Golden Rule. Now Spencer posted a response on his hate blog to my article from Ali Sina without mentioning our site or the article, instead he claimed a "Jihad Watch reader took him to task for it." Considering the cultish uncritical following that Spencer has on Jihad Watch I'm sceptical anyone would take him to task.

Here is what Spencer says:

Yesterday a Jihad Watch reader wrote to me taking issue with an article I posted here at Jihad Watch four years ago, "The Golden Rule and Islam," by Ali Sina of Faith Freedom, author of Understanding Muhammad: A Psychobiography of Allah's Prophet. "All religions," Sina argued, "invariably, are based on the Golden Rule. Islam is not." Here is the letter I was sent responding to Ali Sina's article:

Islamic Text on the Golden Rule: The Quran: “Serve God, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess [the slave]: For God loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious” (Q:4:36)

(In fact the Quran goes beyond saying the Golden Rule by stating in more than four places that "Return evil with Kindness." (13:22, 23:96, 41:34, 28:54, 42:40))

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
“None of you have faith until you love for your neighbor what you love for yourself” (Sahih
Muslim)

“Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and to enter Paradise…should treat the people as he wishes to be treated.” (Sahih Muslim)

"None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself"(Forty Hadith-Nawawi)

“None of you is a believer if he eats his full while his neighbour hasn’t anything.” (Musnad)

“Do unto all men as you would wish to have done unto you; and reject for others what you would reject for yourselves.” (Abu Dawud)

“Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.” (Farewell Sermon)

“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” (Ibn- Majah)

I asked Ali Sina for a response, and h

Here is the original article: Islam and the Golden Rule

I looked briefly through the soap opera sites and didn't come across any new mud slinging though there is a whole bunch of moonbat craziness especially on Pamela's site. She talks about how she and her supporters are "a frickin' army" and calls for readers to "join us." My question: "is this the same Army of Midgets that Baron Bodissey is leading, or some other army?"

Either way, I thought I'd bring a blast from the past while we have this brief cessation in the sniping. A long time ago, during the dark ages, Spencer gave his approval to and posted a misinformation piece by Ali Sina, a relative unknown in which he makes the claim that Islam along with Satanism is the only religion that doesn't have the Golden Rule: Do onto others as you would have them do onto you.

The obvious intention is to make Islam look like a barbaric evil religion and Muslims as barbarians that are not like other humans.

This fails for a number of reasons, most importantly because Islam is a faith that reiterates the Golden Rule as much if not more than any other faith in the world. That is something that these Anti-Muslims don't want you to know and rather play down as they continue in their strange odyssey of attempting to innovate new interpretations that have no foundation in Islamic principles, but this must be the "reform Islam" that these batshit crazy people are attempting to create? All without a single Muslim amongst them of course!

Islamic Text on the Golden Rule:
The Quran:
“Serve God, and join not any partners with Him; and do good- to parents, kinsfolk, orphans, those in need, neighbors who are near, neighbors who are strangers, the companion by your side, the wayfarer (ye meet), and what your right hands possess [the slave]: For God loveth not the arrogant, the vainglorious” (Q:4:36)

(In fact the Quran goes beyond saying the Golden Rule by stating in more than four places that "Return evil with Kindness." (13:22, 23:96, 41:34, 28:54, 42:40))

Prophet Muhammad (pbuh):
“None of you have faith until you love for your neighbor what you love for yourself” (Sahih
Muslim)

“Whoever wishes to be delivered from the fire and to enter Paradise…should treat the people as he wishes to be treated.” (Sahih Muslim)

"None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself"(Forty Hadith-Nawawi)

“None of you is a believer if he eats his full while his neighbour hasn’t anything.” (Musnad)

“Do unto all men as you would wish to have done unto you; and reject for others what you would reject for yourselves.” (Abu Dawud)

“Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you.” (Farewell Sermon)

“There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm.” (Ibn- Majah)

And there is more where this came from and is by far not exhaustive of all the places that mention the Golden Rule or actualizing the Golden Rule in real life. This should also highlight the shoddy work of Spencer and his likes that they attempt to pass off as scholarship.

In the future I might respond to Sina's worthless reply in which he contradicts himself, gets defensive and rambles when sayings are brought to the fore that he had no knowledge of.

New Accusations of Barack Hussein Obama being Muslim: The case of Taqqiyah-Tree-Jihad

Barack Hussein Plants Tree

The 2008 Presidential election was marred by accusations that Barack Hussein Obama was a “Mooslim,” “Mohammedan” or an “Islamic.” In response to the accusations, Barack Hussein Obama redundantly pointed out that he had been going to the same Church for almost 20 years and was a committed Christian. He told Christianity Today, “I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian.”

Media personality Sean Hannity of Fox News was quoted as stating, “Barack hoped that if he kept repeating that he was a Christian it would be enough to extinguish the facts and questions creeping up about his associations and history as a Mooslim but we are uncovering leads in his Islamicness.”

Hannity is referring to new startling evidence that sheds light on the direct link between Barack Hussein Obama and what some call his “Mohammedan nature.”

In what experts are describing as another underhanded swipe at American values and mockery of our forefathers Barack Hussein Obama has called for the planting of trees, a well known Mooslim practice.

The President said, “I got into politics for this, to plant trees and one way to conserve energy, reduce carbon emissions, secure our borders and improve our image in the world is for us to plant trees. It’s a win-win for all Americans.”

Not all believe his intentions are to help safe guard America.

“This is an affront to our country and those men and women who died for that flag and the right for Hussein to plant those trees,” said a forlorn Joe the plumber in Real Town America, Texas.

He went on to say, “Let me say it plain for ya: George Washington cut down trees! We all know he cut down the cherry tree and Husseini wants to plant ‘em. That ain’t Christian, that ain’t American…what more evidence do ya need that he’s a Mooslim?”

George Washington

According to experts on Global Terrorism and Islam such as Robert Spencer of the Foundation for the Reconquista of Anatolia, “The fact that Barack Hussein Obama was educated in a Madrassa [Islamic seminary] should have set alarm bells going…In 2004 when Obama was running for the Senate in Illinois, I was the only one drawing attention to this, like Paul Revere. I was shouting ‘The Mooslims are coming! The Mooslims are coming’ but no one paid any attention…they never do.”

Spencer speculated that the tree planting was evidence of a Mooslim practice known as Taqiyya, or dissimilation, “Taqqiyah is pretty much a practice where Mooslims deceive infidel Christians and others by hiding the fact that they are Mooslim while outwardly apostasizing. It is all part of a stealth Jihad, and based on the Koran and Hadith [Islamic sayings] it seems planting trees is an important part of that. Barack Hussein Obama is hiding his Islamicness while appearing as a Christian–this is Taqqiyah-Tree-Jihad.”

When asked what the connection was between the planting of trees and Obama being Mooslim, Islamic Scholar Daniel Pipes barraged us with Islamic quotes saying,

“It’s quite simple. If you only go to the texts they speak for themselves. Look at what their Prophet Mohammed said, ‘If a Muslim plants a tree.. and a bird, a person or an animal eats from it, it will be counted as a charity for him.‘“(Bukhari and Muslim)

‘Whoever plants a tree is rewarded by Allah as much as the produce grown in that tree.’ (Musnad)

‘Whoever plants a tree and diligently looks after it until it matures and bears fruit is rewarded,’ (Musnad)

‘Whoever plants a tree and it matures, Allah plants a tree in paradise for that person.’ (Musnad).

Kahanist chairwoman Pamela Geller author of the forthcoming book Obama’s Father was Malcolm X! vented, “We gotta cut them off at the knees. These barbarians! It’s civilized man versus the barbarians and we got the chief barbarian in the White House now. The Mooslims are taking over–wake up America!”

We contacted the White House for comment and were told the President had “other pressing engagements”. But a source from the President’s staff disputed the Islam experts telling us on the condition of anonymity that “Barack is just a wily politician and he really knows the threat we are facing and in fact this is a tactical move on his part. On the one hand he is reaching out to the Mooslim world and saying, ‘Hey I understand you, look I plant trees,’ on the other hand he knows that Islamic texts state that during Jihad it is prohibited to cut down trees. Barack wants to plant as many trees so that when the terrorists come they won’t be able to fight properly.”

"The Media Loved Hitler Too...."

This load of schlock comes via Atlas Shrugs. I don't have time at all to post on it, but I thought I'd make you all aware of this pathetic attempt to expose the love of the people and media of the days prior to WWII for Hitler--as compared to....could it be....OBAMA?

More is at Hates of Vienna, as linked in the AS piece. I'll look at it more when I get home when I ever have time today....which is to say probably tomorrow, but still, this warranted a post. And a question of the day: do Geller and Baron Oddity really believe the shit they shovel or are they blogging versions of shock jocks? Rather, Baron believes it all. Does Pamela Geller?

Summer Glau Look-Alike Contest

OK, time for some fun away from the "counter-jihadis" for a bit. In honor of the new Terminator film (which I don't consider canon, being the geek that I am), I'm offering up a look-alike contest for another Terminator franchise I don't consider canon, "The Sarah Connor Chronicles". This is a look-alike contest for actress Summer Glau who plays a protector Terminator in the show called "Cameron". She is pictured above. Here are my entries:

Geller Back in Israel National News

Well, Pamela Geller is now posting that she has yet another article in Israel National News. I've been told here that this rag is one of the farthest right one can get. I must admit though that writing of the torture and murder of Ilan Halimi is (though a bit out-dated) a good subject, though Pammycakes is treating the recent press of the trial as a "cover-up":

The abduction and murder in Paris of a young Jewish man by a gang of Muslim immigrants calling themselves the Barbarians shocked the whole of France in 2006. But now that the accused are on trial - silence.

A French judge has ordered the latest issue of the magazine Choc ("shock") removed from the shelves. The cover showed a man with duct tape completely covering his head, except for a small opening around his nostrils. His
Recitation of verses from the Koran, while Ilan's tortured screams could be heard in the background.
nose is bloody. His hands are also bound with duct tape.

It was a photo of Ilan Halimi, the 23-year-old Parisian Jew who was kidnapped and tortured for 24 days by the Barbarians. His captors took the picture and sent it to his family. A lawyer for Halimi's family had complained about the magazine, but Choc's editor-in-chief Paul Payan responded: "Of course, we understand the anguish of the parents and, of course, we share their anguish.... But what's so harrowing is not the publication of this photo. What's harrowing is what it represents, what happened, the reality behind it."

It really is a shame if there is nothing getting out about Halimi's murder, but as we all know, the harder one tries to cover something up the more it gets out there, and not just through the Israel National News. While promoting the truth about Halimi is a good thing, I can't help but seeing in this AS post a bit more of self-promotion--go figure.
