Were there no suicide bomber roles available?

September 28th, 2008

It seems that job options for devout Muslims are pretty limited. Or at least, the parasites try to convince us that they’re limited in the wicked West, leaving only welfare (jizya) as an option. I mean really, when you bring your sixth century education over here, you are pretty much left with cab driver or warehouse worker. And only Muslims seem to know how to fuck up even those most simple of professions.

A muslim is suing Tesco for religious discrimination after having to carry crates of alcohol as part of his job.

Forklift truck driver Mohammed Ahmed [How did we know his name was going to be Mohammed?], 32, worked in one of the supermarket giant’s warehouses for eight months before quitting ‘in protest’, an employment tribunal heard.

He claims he was forced to leave because handling beer, spirits and wine is against his strict Islamic beliefs and that he was victimised when he asked the company to give him another role.

Let me tell you how I think this played out.

Mohammed: Work is haaaarrrd!

Achmed (neighbor): This is England. You don’t have to work. The cursed Infidel will pay for you to stay home and pray.

Mohammed: How can this be? They do not pay the jizya here.

Achmed: Yes, they do. They call it welfare. You just have to complain enough so that no one will hire you, and then you get to collect the welfare. It is the Infidel word for jizya. Make the swine-eaters pay!

They may not be smart enough to work, but they are certainly smart enough not to work.

Paging Mark Steyn

September 13th, 2008

Steyn gets in a heap of trouble for saying Muslims are outbreeding us in Europe, and our demography is changing globally. For pointing this out he has had to face the Court of Marsupial Magistrates, the Sock Puppets of Doom, and months of ridicule from the left for allegedly fearmongering. Of course, it turns out he’s right (as usual).

Muslim hate fanatics plan to take over Britain by having more babies and forcing a population explosion, it has been revealed.

The swollen Muslim population would be enough to conquer Britain from inside, they claim.

Fanatics told a meeting of young Muslims on the anniversary of the 9/11 atrocity, that it would then be easy to impose Sharia law on the population, the Sun newspaper reported.

Speaking at a meeting in London, Anjem Choudarry, right-hand man of exiled preacher Omar Bakri Mohammed, said: “It may be by pure conversion that Britain will become an Islamic state. We may never need to conquer it from the outside.”

The only question is how bloody the transfer of real estate will be.

2008: The year to honor abortionists and eugenicists

September 3rd, 2008

Marie Stopes, the notorious early 20th century contraception campaigner, eugenicist and anti-Semite, did for Britain what Margaret Sanger did for the US: preached the doctrines of eugenics and promoted contraception and sterilisation to achieve “racial hygiene.” So successful was she at altering British society in favour of her eugenics doctrines, the British government has chosen her to be included in a “Women of Distinction” line of stamps.

The Royal Mail announced this weekend that the face of Marie Stopes, who advocated the sterilisation of poor women to promote the “welfare of the race”, will feature on the 50p stamp.

Looks like Britain is taking a lesson from Canada’s honoring of Henry Morgentaler. Interesting. Tune in next year, when Germany fêtes Eugen Fischer. I’m sure the left will love it.

“Mosquitoes”, anyone?

August 21st, 2008

The soaring birth rate among immigrant mothers will soon become the main driver of Britain’s rapid population growth, Government experts predicted today.

Immigration has been the biggest factor in increasing the population in recent years, and with millions of new arrivals starting families the birth rate is soaring.

The Office for National Statistics said yesterday that it could be the main source of overall population growth as early as next year, overtaking immigration itself.

Almost a quarter of all babies in Britain are now born to immigrant mothers. In London the figure is 54 per cent, rising to 75 per cent in some boroughs.

Foreign-born mothers have an average of 2.54 children, compared with 1.79 for women born in the UK.

Ahmed Al-Fartoosi, “He Who Makes Rude Noises”

August 4th, 2008

[Fart-man] is taking legal action against Britain’s Ministry of Defense because he found pornography in a jail toilet.

Fartoosi is accused of masterminding a bombing campaign against British troops in Basra.

The offended terrorist further gripes that he could hear a porno movie playing on a soldier’s laptop. Also, he bumped his arm when being put in a vehicle, the lights in the corridor bother him when he’s trying to sleep, and his cell isn’t sufficiently air-conditioned. The horrors this put-upon villain have been made to endure are downright Gitmo-esque in their ghastliness.

Were the caves of Crapistan really that much better? Perhaps we ought to lock them up in caves, then. Apparently, they must be air conditioned.

“negative public attitudes”

July 25th, 2008

Who knew that the “negative public attitudes” toward Muslims came from us Christian folk? I mean, really, I woulda thought it came from, oh, maybe Muslims who blow things up and kill innocent people! Shame on me for being so misguided.

The Government ’should take energetic measures to eliminate this phenomenon and ensure that authors of such acts of discrimination on the basis of religion are adequately deterred and sanctioned’.

The committee expressed concern over the Government’s plans to extend pre-trial detention of terrorist suspects from 28 to 42 days. Suspects should be brought to court ‘within a reasonable period of time, or released’.

Those suspected of being involved in terrorism and subject to control orders and curfews limiting their movements should be ‘promptly charged with a criminal offence’ and their lawyers given access to the evidence against them, it added.

The committee also called on the Irish Republic to open up its largely Roman Catholic primary school system to secular-education.

Ah ha, the real crux of the matter. It has nothing to do with protecting the terrorists, it has to do with banning Christianity. The Brits are trying once more to turn Ireland away from Catholicism, and this time they are using the threatening interloper to do it.

Whatever the reason, I doubt very much that the bulk of Britons will be any nicer to the undeserving Muslim population than they already are. I would say Britain has been more than tolerant of an influx of people who come to their shores to wreak havoc and take over. If the politically correct and human rights pimps keep pushing, that backlash the Muzzies are always on about may just come to fruition.

Christian registrar wins case against workplace bullying

July 13th, 2008

The devout Christian registrar who won a landmark legal battle over her refusal to carry out gay ‘weddings’ has spoken for the first time about the devastating campaign of bullying she suffered at the hands of her politically correct colleagues.

Lillian Ladele says she was treated as a ‘pariah’ because her traditional values were at odds with the dogmatism of equalities-obsessed Islington Council.

‘This experience has shattered me,’ she said. ‘It has been so overwhelming. For more than two years of my life I was treated as though I was full of hate, which is just not me at all.

‘All I ever wanted was to have my beliefs respected, just as I try to respect the views of others, even if I don’t agree with them.’

I have such inconsistent views when it comes to things like this. Like, I don’t think a registrar should have to marry same-sex couples if they held the job before the law changed. But, on the other hand, I feel that pharmacists have an obligation to provide the morning after pill - though NOT the abortion pill, RU486. Doctors should not have to perform abortions. I guess these are still issues that I have not completely worked out for myself, in my own mind. But I’m glad this woman won her case.

This takes “trimming the bush” to an awkward level

July 10th, 2008

Bristol City Council wants to prune bushes and remove cover from an area known as the Downs to improve the landscape and encourage rare wildlife.

But its own gay rights group has opposed the move, claiming that cutting back the bushes was “discriminating” to homosexual men who used the area for late night outdoor sex known as dogging.

Work on the beauty spot has been temporarily delayed while talks with gay rights groups take place to try and break the deadlock.

Excuse me? You want to fuck in a public park, and you think you have more rights than anyone else? There has long been a practice of staying out of others’ bedrooms, but I don’t ever remember the saying including parks. Here’s an idea - if you want to screw, do it at home, like the rest of us do. Or at least get a car or something.

As for the council even considering listening to these deviants (and I don’t mean homosexuals - I mean people who enjoy fucking where children play), I think that’s most shameful of all.

The area hit the headlines last year when four firemen who disturbed an outdoor gay sex session were reprimanded and fined after they shone torches into the undergrowth.

So long, Britain. I almost welcome the Islamist hordes to your shores at this point. You’ve done nothing to stand up for yourselves in the last 60 years - why should I care about your slow and painful rot?

A report on the plans states: “As part of the consultation, concerns were expressed by the council’s Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual Group (and a small number of other consultees) that this action was potentially discriminating against gay and bisexual men, whose activities on this part of the Downs were objected to by other members of the local community and Downs users.”

While I am not a lesbian, nor do I play one on TV, I think I can safely say that as women, the lesbians are pretty unlikely to be fighting for the right to screw in the park. Let’s leave it to the menfolk, shall we?

Update: great minds think alike.

Former soldier killed by potty-mouth

July 4th, 2008

Good gawd, how long before Cynic does something like this?

A man has been charged with killing a former soldier allegedly attacked on a bus after telling thugs not to swear in front of a lady.

Stan Dixon, 60, had been fighting for life since the attack on Saturday but died in hospital yesterday, police revealed today.

A 23-year-old man initially arrested on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm with intent has now been charged with the murder.

Mr Dixon, renowned for his traditional values, was travelling home with his 41-year-old partner on Saturday evening when he heard the group’s bad language.

He asked them to refrain from swearing in front of a woman - but the couple were met with a torrent of abuse.

To avoid any further confrontation, they decided to get off at an earlier stop than they had planned.

But as they stood at the doors of the bus, which was nearing Mr Dixon’s home in Horden, County Durham, two of the gang allegedly pushed him in the back.

The father of three fell forwards off the bus, on to the road where he collapsed unconscious with major head injuries.

Admittedly, I swear like a sailor in conversation. I know I shouldn’t. But I’m not going to kill anyone over it.

Start a registry!

July 2nd, 2008

Criminals may generally be less intelligent than the rest of us (barring some serial killers, who have frighteningly high IQs), but even they have figured out that when you ban guns, there is always something else that can be used to kill.

The Metropolitan Police Commissioner has vowed to step up police efforts in combating knife crime in the wake of the death of 16-year-old Ben Kinsella.

Speaking at City Hall, Sir Ian Blair said the community needed to reach out to teenagers and their parents.

Sir Ian expressed his “deep sadness” at the death of the teenager and said the death would see police “rededicate efforts to stop others dying”.

He re-emphasised his support for the London Mayor Boris Johnson’s overall approach, but said some factors went beyond policing.

Sir Ian said: “We need as the whole community of London to reach out to young people and their parents to get rid of the knives on our streets and provide them with alternatives to crime and gang membership.”

The folks at Henckels could not be reached for comment.

So, previous pantywaist governments in the UK have banned guns. There are still shootings. And now, the bulk of young criminals weild knives, which the current pantywaist government will try to ban.

Personal story: When I was living in Glasgow, I walked out to the shops one drizzly afternoon, only to be witness to one drunken thug being chased by another knife-wielding drunken thug (he actually stooped to put down his bottle of Buckfast) along Argyle Street. A little old lady standing near me clutched her throat and said something about should we call the police. I shook my head, and reminded her that this was a problem that was clearly taking care of itself. If one thug wants to kill another thug, then excellent! We will be less one thug! But when they start stabbing random classmates and mugging people on the street, it becomes everyone’s problem (and it shouldn’t just be because the dead kid is some soap opera star’s kid brother, either). And I just don’t think registering your steak knives will be the answer.

Operation Blunt 2 was introduced by Sir Ian Blair in response to the recent number of killings, particularly among teenagers, in London.

I have no idea what Operation Blunt 1 was, but I have this image of cops running around London with stones to dull the blades of criminals’ knives!

British Tax Money at Work

June 10th, 2008

Just when you think the suicidal pandering of the British Labour government could get no worse comes the news that $70,000 of British taxpayers money has been handed on a silver platter to a radical Islamic website. This grant given only a few weeks before the anniversary of the London 7/7/05 bombings - see the 55 victims here.

This website, Muslimyouth.net carries posts where the writers not only extoll suicide bombings but also praise the beheading of Daniel Pearl and Ken Bigley. Daniel Pearl, a reporter for the Wall St Journal, was beheaded by 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (currently on trial). Ken Bigley, a British engineer working on reconstruction projects in Iraq, was beheaded by the Tawhid and Jihad (”Oneness of God and Jihad”) Islamist group, led by Jordanian Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.

The British have given up. They are happy to live under Muslim rule, happy to pay the jizya.

Be sure to check out their forum, which talks about jihad. Seems 40% of respondents are hot for jihad.

So glad I’m not paying taxes in Britain anymore.

Update: From the What could possibly go wrong? file.

Islamic extremists in Britain are openly trying to recruit children via the internet, a report warns.

They are using websites which carry messages of hate from terror suspects, according to the respected Civitas think-tank.

Extremists are no longer delivering hate-filled sermons and distributing propaganda on street corners, but instead use pro-jihadist websites.

Some of these carry calls for the flag of Islam to ‘fly over Downing Street’, and urge militants to attack Jews and Christians.

But remember, kiddies: Here in Canada, Mark Steyn’s book is a “hate-crime”.

Dhimmi of the Day

June 9th, 2008

Hazel Blears, the Communities Secretary, defended Labour’s policy on religion after a report backed by the Church of England claimed that Muslims receive a disproportionate amount of attention.

She said it was right that more money and effort was spent on Islam than Christianity because of the threat from extremism and home-grown terrorism.

Ms Blears told BBC Radio 4’s Sunday programme: “That’s just common sense. If we’ve got an issue where we have to build resilience of young Muslim men and women to withstand an extremist message.”

Moral of the story: Blow shit up and we’ll give you more money than your peaceful neighbors. Where art thou, Winston?

The Feng Shui of Islamic Scatology

June 4th, 2008

New flats for elderly people have opened in Bristol - with toilets that do not face Mecca.

The Muslim-friendly Very Sheltered Housing (VSH) scheme in Lincoln Street, Lawrence Hill, also includes beds that allow a tenant’s feet to point in the right direction.

Lincoln Gardens cost more than £6 million, has 55 bedrooms and was put up by the city council and the Guinness Trust on the site of the former Wainbrook elderly persons’ home.

It includes 19 flats suitable for “tenants from the Muslim community” following local consultation.

A council spokesman said: “The toilets in these flats are orientated so that the user doesn’t face Mecca.

“And plumbing has been carried out to allow for the addition of a bidet or a shower head to allow the washing of the toilet bowl.”

Because in Islam, it’s all about shitting. Hey, I didn’t make the rules - I’m just telling you the facts.

Solution: More basketball courts!

June 4th, 2008

Islamic extremists to get therapy not jail in Government’s new ‘anti-radicalisation’ plan

“They would not focus only on Muslim extremism but ‘anywhere prone to extremist talk and violent behaviour …This is not an anti-Muslim document,’ he said. ‘It will cover denominations of all faiths.”

It’s good to know they’re taking proactive steps to keep all those potential Anglican bus bombers in line.

In other free speech news…

June 2nd, 2008

Freedom of Religion no longer seems to exist in certain (Islamic) parts of England.

Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible extracts by police because they were in a Muslim area, it was claimed yesterday.

They say they were told by a Muslim police community support officer that they could not preach there and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime.

The community officer is also said to have told the two men: ‘You have been warned. If you come back here and get beat up, well, you have been warned.’

A police constable who was present during the incident in the Alum Rock area of Birmingham is also alleged to have told the preachers not to return to the district.

It comes amid growing concern over the development of Islamic ‘no-go areas’.

Christianity is a religion that proselytizes. It always has. Christ himself preached his Word to thousands. Many chose to follow him. Others perhaps took some good from his message, ignored the rest, and went home to be Jews and Gentiles - just as they were before his sermons. He never held a knife to anyone’s throat and forced their conversion to Christianity. And neither did these two men in Birmingham.

Are Muslims so afraid of their numbers slipping that they consider Baptists evangelizing a “hate crime”? They needn’t worry - they will always have the incarcerated population to draw upon. Those in prison, especially for violent crimes against the person, are naturally drawn to Islam and its bloodthirsty ways.

I must say I am uncomfortable with the idea of being told that I would not be allowed to go about my business in a certain part of town because it’s a no-go zone for Christians. Is this the religious tolerance I’ve been forced to swallow since the 70’s? Tolerance for thee but not for me?

British pounds

May 27th, 2008

Here in Ontario, our health care money goes toward the all-important task of supplying queers with vaginae. In the UK, it is spent to staple fat people’s stomachs - something that only rich women in Hollywood used to have done.

Britain’s obesity epidemic has reached such an extent that the number of people having stomach surgery has shot up by 41 per cent in just one year.

New figures show there were 3,459 gastric bypass operations last year for obesity - up from 2,448 the year before.

Each operation costs the NHS around £7,000 - meaning last year the NHS paid more than £24 million for gastric bypass surgery alone.

Gastric bypass operations, which cut of part of the stomach and intestine, are normally only performed on people who are so obese that their life is in imminent danger from heart attack or stroke.

A couple of things: First of all, kudos on doing something for £7,000 to stave off thousands of pounds of care in later years from diabetes, stroke, heart conditions etc.

BUT: I worry that not enough is being done to make sure people don’t gain the weight back. See, a lot of people think the surgery is a miracle cure. It’s not. I have talked to dozens of people who have had it done, only to go back to their old habits and gain all the weight back. This is not a good use of public money. I realize that obesity is a serious issue (my fat ass reminds me of that every day!), but I would rather see the price of green peppers go down before I would want to see so much being spent on a cosmetic surgery that may not solve the long-term problem. Progressives are always on about “root causes”, and this is one area where I agree with them. You cannot change a lifetime of habit in a 3 hour surgery. A person has to be in the right headspace in order to lose weight. Sometimes it takes a health scare. Sometimes it’s a nasty comment from a trusted loved-one. Sometimes it is a positive, like wanting to be more fertile and start a family.

But like going into detox for that last time, you need to have hit your bottom (no fat pun intended) before you can lose the weight. The NHS is spending a lot of money on the symptom, not the disease.

‘These figures have gone up because people are realising that surgical treatment can achieve long-term results if it is done in the right way and with adequate follow-up,’ he said.

The article doesn’t indicate - beyond the post-op care to avoid infection etc - just what kind of follow-up will be provided. We can only hope it will be weekly meetings with nutritionist, shrink, and personal trainer. And we can also hope that the patients actually attend.

Then again, if they are willing to attend those meetings, why not just give them a membership to a good health club for about £1,000, with all three of those people on hand to help them? Hell hath no fury like a good personal trainer. I should know - my ass is 6 inches smaller than it was in November. No surgery required.

The abortion that wasn’t

May 25th, 2008

jayden.jpg

Cheeky looking little bugger, ain’t he?

When Leeann Phelan was told her unborn baby had an incurable brain abnormality, she faced an agonising decision.

Doctors said he would be stillborn or severely disabled and advised her to have an abortion.

But Miss Phelan and her partner Stephen Crane stoutly refused and carried on with the pregnancy.

Now at six months old, tests have proven that little Jayden was wrongly diagnosed and is a fit and healthy little boy.

Due to pregnancy complications he had to be induced 13 weeks early, and bravely fought for life.

At 23 weeks, he was one week short of the current abortion limit of 24 weeks, which was set with the received medical wisdom that babies born that premature do not survive.

Last week MPs defied public opinion and voted to keep the current six month abortion limit, despite pressure to cut it to 22 or even 20 weeks.

Last night a pro-life group said Jayden’s birth ‘flew in the face of the government’s denial that babies do not survive if born before 24 weeks.’

Miss Phelan, 23, said: ‘We got the results on Friday and the doctors found he was not suffering from this syndrome.

‘We are delighted but it makes my blood run cold to think we could have aborted him and they got that wrong.

‘They told me to get rid of him, but I said no from the start.

So here’s the deal: Whether you are pro-life or pro-choice, you must certainly agree that it shouldn’t be a statistician who decides if your baby should live or die. It should always be up to the mother (or even better: both parents). The odds should be in her hands, not in the hands of some dude with a clipboard and a calculator.

Remember that in countries like the UK and Canada, healthcare is socialized. Every decision made by hospital staff is made with a little dollar sign in mind. To bring a child into the world that needs serious neo-natal care, or that has a terrible disability, is expensive. The hospitals have to invest a good deal of resource in a child like that. So simple eugenics says: Kill it.

Do you want a eugenicist with a calculator deciding your child’s fate?

UPDATE: I see I should have been clearer about the rules in Britain. If a baby is born under 24 weeks, the hospital is not obliged to provide neo-natal care. The baby can be considered a miscarriage at that age, and not viable, even if born alive. Sweet, huh? But Jayden’s parents must have fought pretty damn hard to get him care. Good for them.

Poor Parenting

May 23rd, 2008

Unbelievable. The Muslim convert who tried to bomb the restaurant in Exeter was retarded. Mind of a ten year old. Lived with his mother and stepfather. Had a poster of 9/11 on his wall, and started hanging around with Muslims.

What the jolly fuck was his mother doing when she should have been protecting him??

Counter-terrorist officers suspected mentally-ill Nicky Reilly had forged links with known Islamic extremists at an internet cafe near his home.

Neighbours claimed Reilly, who is 6ft 1in and weighs 18st, repeatedly watched videos of the September 11 atrocity and used the burning Twin Towers as his computer screen saver. It is thought he may have been ‘brainwashed’ at a fish and chip shop near his home, a first-floor flat in a rundown area.

Neighbours painted a picture of a friendless, reclusive, vulnerable young man who used to collect James Bond model cars but in recent years came into contact with local Muslims.

One friend, 17-year- old Alli Turner, said: ‘When the Twin Towers happened he would constantly watch it on repeat. He also had a huge 9/11 poster on his wall.

‘He always used to say that he had been told you will get a better life when you die if you are a Muslim.

‘He once said he goes to “secret meetings” where no one is allowed if they are not a Muslim.

‘Nicky was never into drugs but he was on heavy medication. He tried to commit suicide several times.’

Another said he changed his name to Mohammed Rasheed three or four years ago but told him ‘English people were allowed to call him Nicky’.

Reilly’s brother Luke, 20, is serving a six-year jail sentence for kicking a Polish man unconscious during a robbery to feed his drug habit. His stepfather Philip Dinner, 46, is a convicted drug dealer.

Reilly’s mother Kim has a third son, ten-year-old Elliott. All her children have different fathers.

Reilly attended prayers at two Islamic centres in Plymouth. He stood out as the lone English convert at the Islamic Centre for Plyand Cornwall in the Mutley area, said a spokesman. His last visit is thought to have been about seven months ago.

Reilly also visited the Plymouth Islamic Education Trust, a community centre. Its deputy director Abu Moganzy confirmed he had been there at least six times.

This is an unbelievably sad story. This kid was mindless, started hanging around at mosques, tried to kill himself - his slut mother never thought there might be something wrong with him? Something disturbing about his behavior and his new friends?

Nicky Reilly needs to be sent to a mental institution - not a prison where he will become further radicalized or possibly killed - where he can be deprogrammed of the vile spew that he’s been fed by these heartless Muslims who took him on as an easy mark. His little brother, only 10 years old, needs to be taken into care. And his disgusting wastrel of a mother needs to be beaten and hung in the town square. She let this boy down. She let her fellow countrymen down. She is the terrorist in this scenario, not Nicky Reilly.

Some common sense has prevailed in the UK, where the teenage boy arrested for “insulting” Scientology has been given a pass from the courts.

But Ghost of a Flea has some interesting details about how the kid may have gotten himself arrested in the first place:

Two years ago, the City of London police attracted criticism when it emerged more than 20 officers, ranging from constable to chief superintendent, had accepted gifts worth thousands of pounds from the Church of Scientology.
