Remember the National Intelligence Estimate of 2007 that proclaimed to the world that Iran had abandoned a weapons program in connection with the building of their weapons grade nuclear plant?
When that NIE report came out Iran crowed the big International “I told you so.”
But here is the thing: the NIE 2007 contradicted previous NIE reports and did not align with Israeli Intelligence. Many anti-war Westerners obviously would slough off Israeli Intelligence due to the fact that Israel and Iran are mortal enemies publicly in the war of words and behind the back door with the hushed diplomatic channels on obvious Iranian military supplies to Hezbollah and Hamas. Those two Islamist murdering terrorists (one is Shi’ite and the latter is Sunni) have one agenda: the destruction of Israel and the genocide of Jews.
But lo and behold it is becoming evident that NIE 2007 was a report put together by pro-Arab/pro-Islam oil authors because recent events (including the Israeli destruction of a secret Syrian nuclear program) and verified Intelligence from both British and Israeli Intelligence sheds light on a different outcome than NIE 2007. That outcome is indeed that Iran is has a nuke weapons program.
Apparently if the pro-Arab/pro-oil American Intelligence is willing to look the other way to embarrass the Bush Administration, Mossad of Israel and MI6 of Britain are collaborating and putting Intelligence notes that are leaning strongly to another conclusion completely divergent of the American Intelligence Community (an amalgam of Intelligence Agencies) headed by the Director of National Intelligence that collated the data to arrive at the NIE 2007 conclusion on Iran’s agenda.
Mossad and MI6 believe there is substantial evidence to execute some form of military strike on Iran to slow down or hopefully end Iran’s nuclear weapons program. Israel is even willing to risk a go it alone mission. Israel is hoping to get at least an OK from Washington and London to back up such an expedition since Leftists in both nations would scream bleeding heart murder if the American and British governments participated in such an endeavor.
My guess is that an Israeli strike would provoke a Middle Eastern free-for-all military chess that would draw America and possibly Western nations into the fray. That is not even mentioning the probable support of Iran by Russia and China that could range from limited to the extreme.
Wake up America! The Islamist/Western confrontation is on the horizon.
The American Congress for Truth emailed a summary of Steven Emerson’s testimony before the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. The email is dated April 14 the reposted article is dated April 10, 2008 from the Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT).
Emerson writes that al-Qaeda has regained strength thanks to safe havens in Pakistan. He also touches on his astonishment (and mine and should be all Americans) of the government use of Mohammedan-American organizations that have links to terrorism abroad.
Also Emerson touches on the nefariousness of the behind the scenes support of Islamist organization known as the Muslim Brotherhood.
As part of my goal to expose Islamism as a Fifth Column contingent within America and an anti-American force for violence from foreign terrorists, I encourage you to read Emerson’s testimony.

Well I have to say this about Hamas as compared to the rest of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO). They are honest about their intentions.
For Hamas to sign a Two-State peace agreement with Israel is out of the question. For Hamas it is Dar al-Islam or nothing. Mahmoud Abbas acting as President of the Palestine Authority and Chairman of the PLO publicly hints of a Two-State solution yet like his mentor Yasser Arafat speaks to his minions about the destruction of Israel.
So for Abbas managed operations utilize al-Taqiyya for the kafir (infidel) and Palestine or nothing for his minions. Abbas and various factions of the PLO are more secular minded (as far as a Mohammedan can go with secularism anyway) than the overtly Hamas which is connected to the aspiration of the Muslim Brotherhood and Wahahbi radicalism to re-awaken Mohammedan global supremacy as in the old medieval days.
The point being Hamas admits its brutality of using women and children as human shields to inflict guilt on Israeli self-defense and delude the West into believing Israel is a voracious murderer of civilians. This is how Hamas (a radical member of the religion of peace) justice its means in an attempt to end Israel’s existence.
I wonder what Mo would have thought of Hamas using a Western concept known as Machiavellianism which promulgates the ends justifies the means. Actually Mo would probably pat Hamas on the back for modifying a Western concept to execute brutality upon the kafir.
Wafa Sultan speaks the truth about Mohammedanism on al-Jazeera and so-called moderate Mohammedan Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi not only criticizes Sultan but proves her point by speaking in terms that Jihadists that listen to al-Qaradawi will up the ante in increased efforts to murder Wafa Sultan.

Hamas Manifesto on TUCC Pastor’s Page of Newsletter
Obama Denies being Around
John R. Houk
© March 24, 2008
I know this is probably old news to many of this Website’s readers; however I just ran into today. A couple days ago CreepingSharia.com roughly reprinted the story of BizzyBlog’s exposing that Obama’s Church – the Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) – published support of the Hamas Manifesto on Jeremiah Wright’s “Pastor’s Page” of the Church newsletter. BizzyBlog broke the news, but I read about on CreepingSharia.com thus I then posted from the CreepingSharia.com perspective.
I am now learning from WorldNetDaily that Obama contacted the Jewish Telegraphic Agency to condemn Hamas and to explain (once again) he was not present at TUCC when the terrorist-racist support was expressed by Jeremiah Wright and TUCC by publishing the Newsletter which had the Hamas Manifested in it from a reprint of a Los Angeles Times editorial written by Islamic Terrorist Mousa Abu Marzook.
Is it just me noticing this: Obama seems to never be present at TUCC when the racism and pro-Terrorist and anti-American rhetoric comes from the pulpit or the Church’s written word?
I am beginning to wonder if Obama is following the old Goebbels paradigm on propaganda:
“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.” – Joseph Goebbels (Emphasis Mine)
I mean Obama has been making an awful lot of denials and many condemnations over and over again … has not he?
Why is the Hamas Manifesto such a big deal? It is because America’s own State Department has Hamas listed as a terrorist organization. Hamas has essentially rebelled against the PA in the Gaza Strip and basically run the show there. Part of the Hamas Manifesto (actual document link) is a call for the unmitigated and utter destruction of Israel which would of course if successful lead to another Holocaust of carnage that would make Hitler happy in hell that the Final Solution is continuing even after his demise.
Polls conducted by Arabs that call themselves Palestinians and polls conducted by Israelis demonstrate that a majority of these Palestine Authority Arabs support terrorism against Israel while the Israeli polls show that a majority of Israelis want to stop further withdrawals from Judea/Samaria (the West Bank).
So someone in the West tell me again how creating a sovereign Palestinian State will bring peace to the Middle East.

Bin Laden has accused the Pope of stirring up the Crusades of history’s past against Mohammedanism AND threatened reprisals in Europe for doing so.
Ah if it were only true.
A Vatican spokesman denies the accusation for the Pope. The Vatican to my dismay claims to be leading efforts for dialogue with Mohammedans. If only Pope Benedict XVI would realize that showing up in Mecca for dialogue would result in loosing his head.
It is amazing the effort of Christian leaders from both Protestants and Catholics are willing to live in dhimmitude in the false hope dhimmi oppression will end the violence against the West.
Look at the history of dhimmitude of the past. It is not a pleasant scenario.

I am re-posting from the blog Sigmund, Carl and Alfred an excellent summary of how the seeds of Jewish hatred were planted between Arabs and the emerging State of Israel.
Here is a clue: the pollination of the seeds of Jewish hatred came from the Third Reich through Haj Amin El Hussein (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem) who cooperated with Hassan Al Banna (Founder of Ikhwan or Muslim Brotherhood) and then passed on to the Mufti’s nephew – Yasser Arafat.

Deja Vu All Over Again, The Mufti And The Palestinian Authority
Posted by SC&A
March 7, 2008-03-08
The attack on the Jewish seminary in Jerusalem was not the first time Palestinian terrorists chose a religious venue.
Recall the Passover Massacre of 2002.
There was attack on a Jewish seminary, in another time. Flashback to 1929:
“At 4:00 pm, an Arab crowd began gathering outside the Hebron Yeshiva and throwing stones through the windows. Only two people were inside, a student and the sexton. Upon being hit, the student tried to leave to find himself facing the Arab crowd, who grabbed him and stabbed him to death… Early the following Saturday morning, a crowd armed with staves and axes appeared in the streets and killed two Jewish boys, one stoned to death and the other stabbed…some of the remaining rioters, shouting “on to the Ghetto…”
One third of the killed were students of the Hebron yeshiva…
On September 1, Sir John Chancellor [publicly] condemned:-
‘the atrocious acts committed by bodies of ruthless and bloodthirsty evildoers… murders perpetrated upon defenseless members of the Jewish population… accompanied by acts of unspeakable savagery.’
High Commissioner Chancellor had more to say. From a letter to his son:
I do not think history records many worse horrors in the last few hundred years.
I am so tired and disgusted with this country and everything concerned with it that I only want to leave it as soon as possible.
The principle instigator was Haj Amin El Hussein. The Mufti was certainly known by the company he kept;
November 2, 1943 Himmler’s telegram to Mufti (see image):
‘To the Grand Mufti: The National Socialist movement of Greater Germany has, since its inception, inscribed upon its flag the fight against the world Jewry. It has therefore followed with particular sympathy the struggle of freedom-loving Arabs, especially in Palestine, against Jewish interlopers. In the recognition of this enemy and of the common struggle against it lies the firm foundation of the natural alliance that exists between the National Socialist Greater Germany and the freedom-loving Muslims of the whole world. In this spirit I am sending you on the anniversary of the infamous Balfour declaration my hearty greetings and wishes for the successful pursuit of your struggle until the final victory.’ Reichsfuehrer S.S. Heinrich Himmler
…During the Nuremberg Trials, Eichmann’s deputy Dieter Wisliceny testified that The Mufti was one of the initiators of the extermination of European Jewry and a collaborator and adviser of Eichmann and Himmler in the initiation of the Final Solution.
For more see Answering Islam The Nazi Islam Connection.
Once in Berlin, the Mufti received an enthusiastic reception by the “Islamische Zentralinstitut” and the whole Islamic community of Germany, which welcomed him as the “Führer of the Arabic world.” In an introductory speech, he called the Jews the “most fierce enemies of the Muslims” and an “ever corruptive element” in the world. Husseini soon became an honored guest of the Nazi leadership and met on several occasions with Hitler. He personally lobbied the Führer against the plan to let Jews leave Hungary, fearing they would immigrate to Palestine. He also strongly intervened when Adolf Eichman tried to cut a deal with the British government to exchange German POWs for 5000 Jewish children who also could have fled to Palestine. The Mufti’s protests with the SS were successful, as the children were sent to death camps in Poland instead. One German officer noted in his journals that the Mufti would liked to have seen the Jews “preferably all killed.” On a visit to Auschwitz, he reportedly admonished the guards running the gas chambers to work more diligently. Throughout the war, he appeared regularly on German radio broadcasts to the Middle East, preaching his pro-Nazi, anti-Semitic message to the Arab masses back home [emp-SC&A]
To show gratitude towards his hosts, in 1943 the Mufti travelled several times to Bosnia, where on orders of the SS he recruited the notorious “Hanjar troopers,” a special Bosnian Waffen SS company which slaugh-tered 90% of Bosnia’s Jews and burned countless Serbian churches and villages. These Bosnian Muslim recruits rapidly found favor with SS chief Heinrich Himmler, who established a special Mullah Military school in Dresden.
The only condition the Mufti set for his help was that after Hitler won the war, the entire Jewish population in Palestine should be liquidated. After the war, Husseini fled to Switzerland and from there escaped via France to Cairo, were he was warmly received. The Mufti used funds received earlier from the Hilter regime to finance the Nazi-inspired Arab Liberation Army that terrorized Jews in Palestine…
After the war, a member of Young Egypt named Gamal Abdul Nasser was among the officers who led the July 1952 revolution in Egypt. Their first act – following in Hitler’s footsteps – was to outlaw all other parties. Nasser’s Egypt became a safe haven for Nazi war criminals, among them the SS General in charge of the murder of Ukrainian Jewry; he became Nasser’s bodyguard and close comrade. Alois Brunner, another senior Nazi war criminal, found shelter in Damascus, where he served for many years as senior adviser to the Syrian general staff and still resides today.
Sami al-Joundi, one of the founders of the ruling Syrian Ba’ath Party, recalls: “We were racists. We admired the Nazis. We were immersed in reading Nazi literature and books… We were the first who thought of a translation of Mein Kampf. Anyone who lived in Damascus at that time was witness to the Arab inclination toward Nazism…” [emp-SC&A]
The PLO and notably Arafat himself do not make a secret of their source of inspiration. The Grand Mufti el-Husseini is venerated as a hero by the PLO. It should be noted, that the PLO’s top figure in east Jerusalem today, Faisal Husseini, is the grandson to the Führer’s Mufti. Arafat also considers the Grand Mufti a respected educator and leader, and in 1985 declared it an honor to follow in his footsteps. Little wonder. In 1951, a close relative of the Mufti named Rahman Abdul Rauf el-Qudwa el-Husseini matriculated to the University of Cairo. The student decided to conceal his true identity and enlisted as “Yasser Arafat.”
In an environment where Holocaust denial and ‘We’ll finish what Hitler started‘ is a part of the consciousness of every Palestinian, is the Hamas response to yesterday’s massacre really a surprise?
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Thursday condemned a shooting attack in Jerusalem that killed at least eight people.
“President Mahmoud Abbas condemns the attack in Jerusalem that claimed the lives of many Israelis and he reiterated his condemnation of all attacks that target civilians, whether they are Palestinians or Israelis,” said Abbas aide Saeb Erekat.
Deja vu, all over again:
While in English language media, the Palestinian Authority condemned the attack saying “The leadership strongly denounces Netanya operation against Israeli civilians and decides to prosecute those involved or responsible,”[3] in Arabic it glorified the “shahid” on January 21, 2003, the official PA daily newspaper Al-Hayat Al-Jadida published a report saying “the Tulkarm Shahids Memorial Soccer Championship tournament of the Shahid Abd Al-Baset Odeh began with the participation of seven top teams, named after Shahids who gave their lives to redeem the homeland. Isam, the brother of the Shahid, will distribute the trophies.” [4]
Plus ca change…

Western civilians and Lefties in particular need to understand that a new “paradigm” needs to exist in the fight of the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). The Western thought of the rules of engagement are far different than the Islamic thought.
Western thought is to wage war if possible with the least possible collateral damage to civilians. In Western history, the nations that warred with disregard to the collateral damage of civilians had their political and military leaders prosecuted for War Crimes when they lost.
Islamic thought is to wage war with the full inclusion of the civilian populace as the army of Allah and Mohammed. The civilian populace may not be trained militarily or even wish to be involved in the actual fighting; however their deaths are considered glorious for Allah and not at all as collateral damage.
This is why on September 1, 2001 after radical Islamic terrorists crashed jets into buildings murdering thousands of Americans, a media pan of Islamic Arab and Iranian conclaves saw Muslims dancing in the streets shooting weapons in the air like fire works in celebration. This was particularly the case among Arabs that call themselves Palestinian.
As Alan Dershowitz points out, radical Islamists (and increasingly Middle Eastern Muslims in general) are death oriented and Western Culture is life oriented.
The U.S. Military and America’s coalition of the willing must change their rules of engagement to match the enemy’s ruthlessness. This way the false accusations of the Leftist media of massacres such as never happened in Haditha, Iraq cannot disrupt America’s goal of eradicating radical Islamist vermin in the GWOT. It will not be a case of striking fear in Middle Easterners, it will be a case that Middle Easterners will understand and America will derive respect as an opponent. Thus Middle Easterners that do not appreciate horrid measures of radical Islamists murdering their own as punishment will move from respect to believing that America is a friend and not a foe. In essence this is why The Surge has brought on an Iraqi Awakening and Iraqis are ejecting their support for al Qaeda Iraq (AQI) and aiding the American military and the new Iraqi Government in defeating AQI.
Act For America has sent an email excerpt of Dershowitz’s The Wall Street Journal article entitled, “Worshipper’s of Death.” Dershowitz writes of this paradigm of death among Middle Eastern Muslims. Dershowitz eloquently demonstrates Islam’s culture of death. (Unfortunately Act For American did not provide WSJ link for me to cite so you will have to go SlantRight.com at the end of this post to read Dershowitz’s article which I am referring to or wade through a WSJ search.)

The incompetence of Prime Minister Olmert to manage the government of Israel is appalling. Combine this with the Bush Administration intense pressure on Olmert to agree to create a Palestinian-Arab State managed by a gang of greedy turf minded terrorist thugs and you will have more violence not less.
There is only way for a Palestinian State to exist and that is for fellow Arabs to actually step in and do a Donald Trump to the fractured Islamist thugs and say, “YOU’RE FIRED!”
The only way for there to be Middle East peace is Arab nations like Jordan and Egypt to join Israel and cooperate in the front of the World’s eyes and remove the incendiary Palestinian murderous thugs.
Without major Arab cooperation the Bush Administration and Ehud Olmert are setting the Jews of Israel for a Wahhabi-Muslim Brotherhood-Syrian-Iranian dream come true: The eradication of the existence of the Land Israel.
Read Carolyn Glick’s insight on this related to Bush and Rice forcing the incompetent dolt Olmert to decease the Gaza Offensive even though CAIR’s pals the Hamas terrorists continuously sends rockets into Israeli civilian cities.
