***
A pop quiz for you. Which of these is a hate crime in America?

A) Submerging a crucifix in a jar of urine.



B) Burning the American flag.



C) Putting a Koran in a toilet.



Each is offensive and tasteless in its own way. But only one is a hate crime in the eyes of the law — C) — and 23-year-old Stanislav Shmulevich of Brooklyn faces jail time for it. He’s a Pace University student arrested on Friday on hate-crime charges after he threw a Koran in a toilet at Pace University on two separate occasions, according to police.

Charles Johnson at LGF has been in contact with Shmulevich. He reports that the student has been charged with two felonies, criminal mischief and aggravated harassment. Allahpundit has a thorough legal review.

Mark Steyn muses about the flushed Koran: “Obviously Mr Shmulevich should have submerged it in his own urine, applied for an NEA grant and offered it to the Whitney Biennial.”

Actually, no. The NEA would have turned Shmulevich in to the police, too. Now, if he had submerged a Bible in urine or coated a Torah in cow dung and submitted it for a federal grant, he’d be sitting pretty–and facing rave New York Times editorials instead of time behind bars.

***

More reax…

Phil Orenstein at The Democracy Project has “been involved over the past year battling the censorship and outrages of the film police at Pace, where the administrators caved in to Muslim Student Association’s pressure and threatened police action against Hillel if they showed the film Obsession.” Orenstein notes the “double standard lurking at Pace, throughout academia and trickling down throughout the body politic where Muslims and certain identity groups get preferential treatment while others are spurned.”

There is no right in a democracy not to be offended although the threats and bullying tactics of CAIR and MSA have forced the hand of Pace administrators and New York’s Police Department to do their sinister bidding.
Andrew Bostom digs deeper:

Western discourse must move well beyond condemnation of clumsy acts of disapproval, such as Koran flushing, and their aggressive prosecution under pressure by Muslim avatars of real hatred, and abettors of murderous jihad terrorism, such as CAIR—to more fundamental and unnerving questions: What role do Koranic injunctions themselves—eternal and beyond criticism (least of all by non-Muslims)—play in inciting “criminal mischief and aggravated mischief”, and much more heinous crimes against humanity, including jihad genocide, and the destruction of non-Muslim religious, cultural, and political institutions?
Rick Moran:

The Korans Mr. Shmulevich threw in the toilet were school property taken from a “meditation room” on campus. Now I’m not a lawyer and will make no attempt to analyze the legal issues regarding this case. But Allah has the language of the statutes under which Mr. Shmulevich is being charged with a hate crime and to these layman’s eyes, it is perplexing to me why the prosecutor would be charging Mr. Shmulevich under either of these statutes. Instead, it appears to be a case where the prosecutor files more serious charges in hopes the defendant will plead to lesser ones.

Charge him with stealing the Korans, yes. Perhaps even charge him with a misdemeanor for vandalizing school property. But charging the man with two felony counts under dubious circumstances smacks of prosecutorial overkill.


I stand in allegiance with one of the commenter's on her site, I believe we should all, that is every last one of us, make sure to use the quran as toilet paper at every opertunity when we use public toilets, port a podies etc.... Keep in mind folks we can get free copies from our friends at cair. My family has two of them,(compliments of cair) that we use for referencing and highlighting passages etc..., and you can be assured they are in their proper place of respect , on the floor next to the toilet on both the first floor bathroom and the second floor bathrooms. Looks like we will be requesting a third copy for our use in public toilets as tissue!

Gay Artist Burns Rare $60,000.00 Koran - (In undisclosed place, somewhere in Chicago.....) ROFL

Lately I've been getting a good laugh, yesterday it was our buds the Iranians and the Zionist plot of Harry Potter.... Today it's the stupidity of this "Gay Artist" equating Christianity and islam"e" as being the same. The artist, Merrill stated, "Both ancient books are terrorist manuals."


The following article is in Market Watch....
Gay Artist Burns Rare $60,000.00 Koran



Last Update: 7:50 AM ET Jul 26, 2007


NEW YORK, July 26, 2007 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- Charles Merrill, the artist who recently edited the Holy Bible with a black marker and pair of scissors, has lately burned a rare Islamic Holy Book, The Koran, valued at $60,000.00, in an undisclosed Chicago location. "The purpose of editing and burning Abrahamic Holy Books is to eliminate homophobic hate," Merrill stated. "Both ancient books are terrorist manuals."
He continues, "I inherited the rare Islamic book from my late wife, Evangeline Johnson Merrill. As the daughter of the founder of the international pharmaceutical giant, Johnson and Johnson, Inc., doors of kings and queens opened to her around the world. Evangeline was given the rare manuscript by the late King of Jordan when she was on a mission for the United Nations in the 1950's."
"Airplanes are flown into buildings because of words, and hate crimes against gays," Merrill said.
Merrill is a self-made millionaire, artist, fervent atheist and cousin of the co-founder of Merrill Lynch.
Broadway Gallery is pleased to present Charles Merrill, artist, gay activist and iconoclast. Merrill's exhibition incorporates themes of LGBT activism and the spiritual customs associated with indigenous cultures in his work.
Using boldly colored acrylic and oil paint on large canvases, many are geometric compositions with recurring motifs of triangles, circles, lines, and arrows. The upside-down pink triangles in his work originate from a sinister source -- it was the emblem that gays had to wear in Nazi concentration camps.
Notably, another form of Merrill's activism is his altruism. All proceeds from works sold at his show at Broadway Gallery benefit the Williams Institute UCLA Sexual Orientation Legal Think Tank. Merrill wants "to make social change, educate, to leave the world a better place for the next generation of oppressed people." Merrill can be located on the Internet at http://www.merrillcharles.com.


It's interesting to note he had no death threats on him by Christians, and was very public about the black lineing of the bible text.... yet he burns the quoran in an "undisclosed place" ... hmmm... maybe deep down he does realize the diference, the christians are not going to put a death sentance on his head, the muslims will! .....yea...sure you betcha...the two faiths are the same.... what a hypocritical ass, he needs to call it like it is, islam is a death cult, and while christianity may not aprove of homosexuality it will not call for your death if you practice it or .... gasp..... dare to burn their vile pile of filth known as the quoran......

Harry Potter is a Zionist Plot! (ROFL)

Yes - I am a Harry Potter fan and had pre-ordered it on Amazon.com, and spent the past weekend reading the final book. (By the way, in my humble opinion, this was the best in the series and JKR did a fab job of tying up loose ends!)

My nieces and nephews and I have hade a tradition since the first movie of always getting together and seeing each movie on the opening day, and afterwards going out for ice cream etc.. to discuss the movie, compare it against the book etc..

My husband and I have even dressed up for the movies at times, we've found the books and movies to be wonderful! (As have our nieces and nephews) I was very plesently surprised this last time to find that our oldest nephew, who is now 18, actually made a point of calling us to ask if we were going to get together as "tradional" and he wanted to make sure to be included!

So .... while the rest of the world marvels at the genius of JKR and her ability to show how evil can and will be defeated by good, our not so friendly muslims , as usual see only that .... , now.... wait for it......, thats right,.... you've guessed it..... Harry Potter,is a Zionist agent

Thanks to Jihad Watch:

"Iranian Daily: Harry Potter, Billion-Dollar Zionist Project," from the MEMRI blog (thanks to WriterMom):

In an article, the Iranian daily Kayhan, which is identified with Iranian Supreme Leader 'Ali Khamenei, criticized Iran's Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry for approving the distribution of the new book in the "Harry Potter" series.
The paper said that "Harry Potter" was a Zionist project in which billions of dollars had been invested in order to disrupt the minds of young people.

Source: Kayhan, Iran, July 26, 2007


Meanwhile, speaking of crafty Zionists, I was struck by this passage from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows that Jihad Watch reader Wallhacker sent me. He says it's on page 437 of the American edition and page 355 in the British/Canadian edition. Of course, J. K. Rowling has never heard of us or our little effort here, but as one of the only ones who tell the truth about what's going on while nearly all the programmes are following You-Know-Who's line, I couldn't help but chuckle:

"Potterwatch, didn't I tell that's what it was called? The programme I keep trying to get on the radio, the only one tells the truth about what's going on! Nearly all the programmes are following You-Know-Who's line, all except Potterwatch. I really want to hear it, but it's tricky tuning in..."


Sigh.............

More Dhimmi tripe from the US Govt

I am again contacting my congress person and the white house to protest my tax dollars going for this!

A New York Post editorial skewers the Bush Administration's fantasy-based policymaking regarding Fatah, Here, Here! We need to have more of this out there! :

July 17, 2007 -- Yet again, the United States, Western Europe and Israel are putting all their diplomatic eggs in the basket of a Palestinian leadership they consider moderate, in a bid to move the Middle East peace process forward.

But is there any reason to believe Mahmoud Abbas can succeed - or that he even wants to?
President Bush yesterday laid out a series of incentives aimed at propping up Abbas' Fatah-led government, which last month lost control of Gaza to the terrorists of Hamas in a violent confrontation.

Bush's goodies include $190 million in direct U.S. assistance, $228 million in loans and $80 million in U.S. aid to bolster the Palestinian security services.

He also announced a summit conference this fall among supporters of a two-state solution, bolstered the idea of an eventual Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and called on world leaders to "provide decisive support for Palestinian leaders working for peace."

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert joined in, announcing the release of Palestinian prisoners, agreeing to stop hunting down 200 Abbas-affiliated terrorists and allowing the mastermind of the 1974 Ma'alot school massacre to attend a key political meeting in the West Bank.

It's a dramatic show of support - but can Abbas deliver? Or are the U.S. and Israel - under international pressure to jump-start the diplomatic stalemate, and fearful of further Hamas gains in the Palestinian-controlled territories - propping up a paper tiger?

Read it all.

On another note, Minnesota's congressman Ellis is at it again showing his true colors with his comments on 9/11. my question is ... What the hell was Minnesota thinking when they voted him in? God help the folks in Minnesota!


I do like the comments from A_Plague_on_Both_Houses on Jihad Watch today , regarding Ellison's use of Jefferson's koran :

Since we have a picture of Rep. Ellison swearing on Jefferson's Qur'an I'd like to forward a history lesson which many of us know already, but could be useful for other jihadwatchers. This hits home with me especially since my family recently took a long trip up the East Coast to visit historic sites among other things. We stood on the deck of the USS Constitution, the oldest commissioned war ship in the world. It was built to address the problem of Islamic piracy in the Mediterranean Sea. That is the same topic of this forwarded note.

==========================================

Subject: History Lesson about Muslims in the world & U.S. past

Democrat Keith Ellison is now officially the first Muslim United States congressman. True to his pledge, he placed his hand on the Quran, the Muslim book of jihad and pledged his allegiance to the United States during his ceremonial swearing-in.

Capitol Hill staff said Ellison's swearing-in photo opportunity drew more media than they had ever seen in the history of the U.S.House. Ellison represents the 5th Congressional District of Minnesota.

The Qur'an Ellison used was no ordinary book. It once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States and one of America's founding fathers. Ellison borrowed it from the Rare Book Section of the Library of Congress. It was one of the 6,500 Jefferson books archived in the library.

Ellison, who was born in Detroit and converted to Islam while in college, said he chose to use Jefferson's Quran because it showed that "a visionary like Jefferson" believed that wisdom could be gleaned from many sources.

"And now for the rest of the story"..........

There is no doubt Ellison was right about Jefferson believing wisdom could be "gleaned" from the Muslim Quran. At the time Jefferson owned the book, he needed to know everything possible about Muslims because he was about to advocate war against the Islamic "Barbary" states of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia and Tripoli.

Ellison's use of Jefferson's Qur'an as a prop illuminates a subject once well-known in the history of the United States, but, which today, is mostly forgotten - the Muslim pirate slavers who over many centuries enslaved millions of Africans and tens of thousands of Christian Europeans and Americans in the Islamic "Barbary" states.

Over the course of 10 centuries, Muslim pirates cruised the African and Mediterranean coastline, pillaging villages and seizing slaves.

The taking of slaves in pre-dawn raids on unsuspecting coastal villages had a high casualty rate. It was typical of Muslim raiders to kill off as many of the "non-Muslim" older men and women as possible so the preferred "booty" of only young women and children could be collected.

Young non-Muslim women were targeted because of their value as concubines in Islamic markets. Islamic law provides for the sexual interests of Muslim men by allowing them to take as many as four wives at one time and to have as many concubines as their fortunes allow.

Boys, as young as 9 or 10 years old, were often mutilated to create eunuchs who would bring higher prices in the slave markets of the Middle East. Muslim slave traders created "eunuch stations" along major African slave routes so the necessary surgery could be performed. It was estimated that only a small number of the boys subjected to the mutilation survived after the surgery.(castration)

When American colonists rebelled against British rule in 1776, American merchant ships lost Royal Navy protection. With no American Navy for protection, American ships were attacked and their Christian crews enslaved by Muslim pirates operating under the control of the "Dey of Algiers"--an Islamist warlord ruling Algeria.

Because American commerce in the Mediterranean was being destroyed by the pirates, the Continental Congress agreed in 1784 to negotiate treaties with the four Barbary States. Congress appointed a special commission consisting of John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin, to oversee the negotiations.

Lacking the ability to protect its merchant ships in the Mediterranean, the new America government tried to appease the Muslim slavers by agreeing to pay tribute and ransoms in order to retrieve seized American ships and buy the freedom of enslaved sailors.

Adams argued in favor of paying tribute as the cheapest way to get American commerce in the Mediterranean moving again. Jefferson was opposed. He believed there would be no end to the demands for tribute and wanted matters settled "through the medium of war." He proposed a league of trading nations to force an end to Muslim piracy.

In 1786, Jefferson, then the American ambassador to France, and Adams, then the American ambassador to Britain, met in London with Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja, the "Dey of Algiers" ambassador to Britain.

The Americans wanted to negotiate a peace treaty based on Congress' vote to appease.
During the meeting Jefferson and Adams asked the Dey's ambassador why Muslims held so much hostility towards America, a nation with which they had no previous contacts.
In a later meeting with the American Congress, the two future presidents reported that Ambassador Sidi Haji Abdul Rahman Adja had answered that Islam "was founded on the Laws of their Prophet, that it was written in their Quran, that all nations who should not have acknowledged their authority were sinners, that it was their right and duty to make war upon them wherever they could be found, and to make slaves of all they could take as Prisoners, and that every Musselman (Muslim) who should be slain in Battle was sure to go to Paradise."

For the following 15 years, the American government paid the Muslims millions of dollars for the safe passage of American ships or the return of American hostages. The payments in ransom and tribute amounted to 20 percent of United States government annual revenues in 1800.

Not long after Jefferson's inauguration as president in 1801, he dispatched a group of frigates to defend American interests in the Mediterranean, and informed Congress.
Declaring that America was going to spend "millions for defense but not one cent for tribute," Jefferson pressed the issue by deploying American Marines and many of America's best warships to the Muslim Barbary Coast.

The USS Constitution, USS Constellation, USS Philadelphia, USS Chesapeake, USS Argus, USS Syren and USS Intrepid all saw action.

In 1805, American Marines marched across the dessert from Egypt into Tripolitania, forcing the surrender of Tripoli and the freeing of all American slaves.

During the Jefferson administration, the Muslim Barbary States, crumbling as a result of intense American naval bombardment and on shore raids by Marines, finally officially agreed to abandon slavery and piracy.

Jefferson's victory over the Muslims lives on today in the Marine Hymn, with the line, "From the halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli, we will fight our country's battles on the land as on the sea."

It wasn't until 1815 that the problem was fully settled by the total defeat of all the Muslim slave trading pirates.

Jefferson had been right. The "medium of war" was the only way to put and end to the Muslim problem. Mr. Ellison was right about Jefferson. He was a "visionary" wise enough to read and learn about the enemy from their own Muslim book of jihad.

===================================

I've posted a copy of this email since it illustrates how long running the long-running problem our United States have had with Islamic ideology. The United States have fought Islamic jihadism in the past, but we tend to forget things like this since the nation has always been more concerned with future progress rather than past injuries. We're truly 'different' than most nations in this aspect.

But we've been here before and we'll be here again and again until we a) name the enemy b) resolve to overcome it.

The belief system Islam is the root cause and enemy of our civilization, but it's neither impossible to overcome nor unchangeable. It's an inflexible and limiting belief system and both of these traits make it extremely vulnerable. To beat it, we must recognize it, name it, and face it head on.

We've fought destructive ideologies in the past -- European Fascism and Communism in the last century. Islam is similar to both of these ideologies in its agenda, worldly ambitions and methods of operation.

We've taken on more lethal examples of the Dark Nature of Man and destroyed them as a threat. We need to take the time to do the same with Islam at this point in History.

Millions for Defense but not a Dime for Tribute.

Some things should never go out of style.
