Liberals’ favorite terrorist scumbag is angry that his dupes re-inserted Jerusalem into the Dhimicrat platform.
Times of Israel: – The Palestinians criticized Thursday the US Democratic Party’s decision a day earlierto return language to their party platform that affirmed Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.
Nabil Abu Rdeneh, an aide to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said the Democrat’s decision might just be “election propaganda.” He said a failure to recognize the Palestinian claim to East Jerusalem will “destroy the peace process” and lead to “endless war.”
On Wednesday, the Democratic Party reinstated language into its platform affirming Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, after it came under fire for removing it.
According to campaign officials for President Barack Obama, the re-addition of the statement was a result of intervention by the US president.
The language is at odds with US policy calling for the status of Jerusalem to be resolved through negotiations.
Every day in every Arab country some Muslim leader calls for the massacring of Jews. It’s who Muslims are. It’s in the Koran. Nothing good can ever be hoped for or expected from them. The real evil is the West’s willful blindness towards these vile savages.
Aug 22, 2012 by MidEastInfo – Hamas MP Sheik Ahmad Bahr appeared on Hamas’ Al-Aqsa TV and demanded all Muslims to annihilate the Jews and Americans. He emphasized that it is the individual duty of each Muslim, whether male or female, to wage jihad.
An Iraqi man hailed as a hero for helping U.S. soldiers in Iraq is one of five Iraqis accused of rape-related charges after a woman suffered serious injuries during a sex assault in Colorado Springs.
Jasim Mohammed Hassin Ramadon, 22, was charged with sexual assault and being an accessory after he was arrested Tuesday in connection with the July 22 attack.
Soldiers said they met Ramadon in 2003, when he pleaded with them to arrest him in exchange for key information about local insurgents.
Ramadon was featured in “A Soldier’s Promise,” a combat memoir by Army First Sgt. Daniel Hendrex, published in 2009, that detailed his relationship with Ramadon as a teenager who risked his life to provide information to U.S. soldiers deployed in Husaybah, a town in Al Anbar Province of Iraq.
During an interview months ago on KOAA-TV in Colorado Springs ( http://goo.gl/rxeTF), Ramadon said his mother told him to help the Americans. When he tried to return, she told him he had to go back to the soldiers or be killed. His Army protectors said Ramadon ultimately turned over 40 insurgents to the Americans, including his father.
Several soldiers interviewed by KOAA-TV said Ramadon was brought to the United States for his help and he settled in Colorado Springs, where the Army unit was based at Fort Carson.
Ramadon said he got into trouble at school in Colorado Springs after students started calling him a terrorist.
“I didn’t know how to react, so I started getting into fights,” he said.
He later married and had a child.
Lt. Howard Black said Wednesday the attack on the woman was “one of the most horrific assaults I have ever seen.” He refused to provide other details.
Court documents said the woman told police she heard a disturbance outside her apartment while getting the mail and intervened. Afterward, she said she was invited to the apartment of one of the men where she was given lemonade and then passed out. Authorities said she suffered serious internal injuries from an attack.
The El Paso District Attorney’s Office said charges are pending against others arrested in the case, including Sarmad Fadhi Mohammed, accused of sexual assault and being an accessory, and Mustafa Sataar Al Feraji, Ali Mohammed Hasan Al Juboori, and Yasir Jabbar Jasim, accused of being accessories. They were each being held on $250,000 bond.
Court records indicate Ramadon has a public attorney. It was not known if the other suspects had legal representation.
An Army spokesman said Hendrex now lives in Ft. Meade, Md. He did not return calls seeking comment.
10,000 Islamic terrorists participated in war games reportedly supervised by Iran’s Revolutionary Guard; 2,000 Hezbollah fighters said to be undergoing training in Iran.
Go ahead you Islamonazi pieces of crap. Make our day.
Jerusalem Post – After Nasrallah threatens to kill tens of thousands of Israelis, Hezbollah trains for war inside Israel.
Over 10,000 Hezbollah fighters participated in the organization’s largest military exercise to date last week, which included defensive tactics and preparations to occupy the Upper Galilee, Lebanese newspaper Al-Joumhouria reported.
The report noted that the drill lasted three days and the majority of the soldiers that participated in the exercise belonged to special forces.
According to the “informed source,” Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah is said to have called for the organization to make the appropriate preparations to occupy northern Israel recently.
It is widely believed that any sort of military action that Israel takes against Iran would be followed by a response from the Lebanese Shi’ite paramilitary organization on its northern border. Last Friday, Nasrallah threatened to rain rockets onto Israel’s North as part of his public address on Al-Quds Day.
“Hitting these targets with a small number of rockets will turn … the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zionists to real hell, and we can talk about tens of thousands of dead,” said Nasrallah.
The speech followed a report that Hezbollah had received Scud missiles from Syria in April of this year. The missiles were reported to be old and unusable, but the Hezbollah sources confirmed they had a large arsenal of surface-to-surface missiles. Around the same time the IDF came very close to attacking a convoy carrying weapons from Syria to Lebanon, but at the last moment decided against it, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Currently embroiled in a civil war, Syria is an important supply line for Hezbollah, as it connects the Shi’ite Lebanese organization to the Shi’ite regime in Tehran. Hezbollah was reported to be providing military support for the Assad regime as it tries to suppress a rebellion that has already claimed over many thousands of lives. If the Assad regime falls, the Shiite crescent will fragment, and Hezbollah’s supply line from Iran will be geographically cut.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton seen nodding in approval.
TEHRAN — Israel is a “cancerous tumour” that will soon be finished off, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Friday told demonstrators holding an annual protest against the existence of the Jewish state.
“The Zionist regime and the Zionists are a cancerous tumour. Even if one cell of them is left in one inch of (Palestinian) land, in the future this story (of Israel’s existence) will repeat,” he said in a speech in Tehran marking Iran’s Quds Day that was broadcast on state television.
“The nations of the region will soon finish off the usurper Zionists in the Palestinian land…. A new Middle East will definitely be formed. With the grace of God and help of the nations, in the new Middle East there will be no trace of the Americans and Zionists,” he said.
[...] Ahmadinejad, in his speech, claimed that “Zionists” triggered the first and second world wars, and had “taken control over world affairs since the moment they became dominant over the US government.”
He asserted that major governments, banks and media were in thrall to a Zionist cabal whose aim was to “destroy the cultures, values and sovereignty of nations.”
This Islamonazi cleric rattles off every Jew-hating stereotype and blood libel ever concocted. He is hardly unique. He is merely repeating what all of the Muslim world is taught from birth, and believes.
algemeiner - A German Neo-Nazi group has been staging flash-mob protests similar to the fascist torch rallies of the 1930s — and then posting videos of them on the Web.
In a demonstration this past May in Bauzen, Germany hundreds of individuals wearing white masks and black garb appeared out of nowhere, carrying torches and signs with nationalist slogans. Then the mob scattered and vanished before the authorities arrived, reported German newspaper Die Zeit.
Eerily recalling the Nazi marches that saluted Hitler during Third Reich era, a group calling themselves ‘Die Unsterblichen’ (The Immortals) has been responsible for organizing these similar flash mob protests throughout Germany over the past several months. Their hate-filled rallies have been viewed by tens of thousands on YouTube, and most of their videos end with a haunting slogan, like ’Make your short life immortal,’ or ‘So that those to come don’t forget that you were German.’
The hate group’s marches are organized via text message so that authorities are unable to track where they will appear, CNN reported. The group’s website encourages others to organize similar flash mob demonstrations, in order to ‘become immortal.’
The word “Volkstod,” which in German means “National Death,” is also displayed on their signs to remind Germany of their days under national socialism. Neo-Nazis will use the phrase to describe what they believe to be the decline of the German race taking place in Germany’s multicultural state.
This is not the first time a Neo-Nazi flash mobs appeared in recent years. ‘Spreelichter’ (Spree Lights), another Neo-Nazi group, was banned by German authorities earlier this summer after they organized their first flash mob rallies in 2009.
Over a dozen homes of publicized neo-Nazis have been searched by police in hopes of uncovering the group’s central leadership.
The success of the racist flash mobs has been catching on among German youth, according to German academic Dr. Hajo Funke of the Free University of Berlin. “It’s a very simple idea: Put masks on your faces and represent the danger to the people,”he explained to CNN.
This is the man that Obama and Clinton believe is the key to not just peace in the Middle East, but of the entire world. Holocaust denying terrorist and corruptocrat Mahmoud Abbas.
And there are no pigs in Ariel. It’s a city, not a farming community. But we are surrounded by jackasses.
Arutz Sheva – Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas has accused Jews living in Judea and Samaria of training wild boars to uproot Arabs’ trees. The fantastic claim is included in a quote from Abbas that appears in an official presentation on PA incitement presented Sunday to the Israeli cabinet.
Abbas made the claim in a speech in Ramallah on the eve of his appearance at the United Nations in September, in which he asked for recognition of PA statehood. The speech went virtually unnoticed in the media, except for some vigilant blogs.
“The occupation and its actions, this is the nightmare that weighs down upon us,” Abbas said. “…Attacks by settlers that find their expression in uprooting trees, burning mosques and even training dogs to attack us and sending wild boars to spread corruption on the face of the earth.”
Abbas continued: “The settlers deal with us in three ways: when they run across someone they attack him; they have trained the dogs well for this, and the boars, too, for uprooting trees.”
Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu called the Index “an important eye-opener and reminder regarding where we live.”
“We have seen horrific things here,” he said, “that define the Jews as poisoners of wells, among other things, and prepare the hearts for harsh and cruel deeds.”
The Elder of Zion blog has found that the wild boar libel originated with reports that appeared on PA news sites. A 2010 report on the Palestine Press Agency claimed:
“Pigs from settlers from the settlement of ‘Ariel’ continued their attacks on the rights of farms and houses in Salfit and surrounding villages. Witnesses said that a swine herd consisting of twenty pigs attacked the farming communities, breaking down peach and apricot trees… Witnesses said the pigs made scary sounds and also attacked a field of wheat belonging to farmers Imran Ahmed Khalil Masri and Abu Dar…. The farmers expressed their indignation at the repeated attacks of pigs and have shown that attempts to eliminate them and get rid of them have failed dismally.”
Elder of Zion noted wryly that “the evil Jews did not only train the pigs to distinguish between Arab and Jewish farmlands, but they also train them to make scary noises!”
Past Muslim “Zionist animal” theories have included stories about Mossad trained bee-eaters, vultures and sharks, as well as poison-resistant rats purportedly trained to drive Arab residents of Jerusalem out of their homes.
American special forces soldiers had been invited to break the Ramadan fast. “During dinner, the police commander and his colleagues shot them and then fled. The commander was Afghan National Police in charge of local police in Sangin.”
When will Americans learn that in Islam, lying for the purpose of killing infidels is a virtue? Answer: Not as long as Liberals control all the strings. As long as Liberals consider the truth to be hate speech, Muslims will continue to get away with murder, mayhem, and inroads into every aspect of life.
Telegraph (via Weasel Zippers) – Three American special forces soldiers were shot dead by a man in Afghan uniform in what appeared to be the latest incident of local forces turning their weapons on their foreign allies.
The Americans were killed after being invited to dinner to discuss security in Sangin district of Helmand on Thursday evening.
The shooting was at least the third incident this week where Afghan forces have opened fire on foreign forces.
Thursday night’s shooting appeared to be a carefully planned attack, Afghan officials said.
American special forces soldiers had been invited to break the Ramadan fast at a house in the Sarwan Qala area by a police commander called Assadullah.
During the meal they came under fire.
“During dinner, the police commander and his colleagues shot them and then fled. The commander was Afghan National Police in charge of local police in Sangin,” a senior Afghan official told the Reuters news agency.
May all sides go on to complete and total victory.
Washington Examiner (h/t WZ)— Al Qaeda and other extremist groups have increased their presence in Syria in recent months to aid rebels trying to overthrow that country’s government and solidify their standing in the region, senior analysts and U.S. officials said.
The organizations’ ultimate goal is to create an Islamist state once Syrian President Bashar Assad is deposed, said Ed Husain, senior fellow for Middle Eastern studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
Meanwhile, rebel commanders fighting to oust Assad said Thursday they moved out of the strategic district of Salah al-Din as fighting intensified in the northern city of Aleppo. Syrian military aircraft continued to pound rebel strongholds, though the anti-government forces continue to hold other parts of the city.
Al Qaeda forces are flowing into Syria from Iraq, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and from as far away as England, Husain said. Al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri recently called on fighters to join with the Free Syrian Army in its effort to overthrow Assad, potentially raising the stakes for the U.S., which hasn’t done much beyond encouraging the rebels, a U.S. official said on the condition that he not be named. [...]
It doesn’t necessarily mean that Islamists will succeed, but “we’re at risk here of ignoring the rise of a jihadist regime … and, with or without Assad, al Qaeda will play an important role for months to come,” Husein added.
Barack Obama is absurdly claiming that Mitt Romney murdered a woman with cold-hearted capitalism. Meanwhile he and Eric Holder are directly responsible for the slaughter of countless people through their devious ‘Fast and Furious’ program. Liberalism is a ruthless killer.
The gun — which “was seized in Tijuana in connection with a drug cartel’s conspiracy to kill the police chief of Tijuana, Baja California, who later became the Juárez police chief” — is tied to Fast and Furious.
“The firearm was found Feb. 25, 2010, during an arrest of a criminal cell associated with Teodoro ‘El Teo’ García Simental and Raydel ‘El Muletas’ López Uriarte, allies of the Sinaloa cartel,” Diana Washington Valdez wrote on Monday for the El Paso Times.
“Tijuana police said they arrested four suspects in March 2010 in connection with a failed attempt to take out Julián Leyzaola, and that the suspects allegedly confessed to conspiring to assassinate the police chief on orders from Tijuana cartel leaders.”
Why oh why do we continue to put up with this worthless institution.
It’s like putting “Jack the Ripper in charge of a women’s shelter,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.
(Fox News) — The election of a Sudanese warlord accused of genocide to the United Nations Human Rights Council is now virtually guaranteed, since he has the full backing of the world body’s African delegation.
The International Criminal Court has issued a warrant for Omar Al-Bashir — its first ever for a sitting head of state — for crimes against humanity he allegedly committed in Darfur. Yet, his regime is set to take its place on the panel, in the latest bizarre appointment to make a mockery of the UN’s human rights credibility, according to critics.
It’s like putting “Jack the Ripper in charge of a women’s shelter,” said Hillel Neuer, executive director of UN Watch.
Neuer’s Geneva-based group is calling on UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay to denounce election of the war-torn North African nation to the 47-member body. Sudan is not technically on the panel, but its election is a certainty because only five African nations are vying for the continent’s five seats.
Membership to the Council is open to all member states and secret-ballot elections are held every year, according to a UN website. Upon election, states serve three-year terms and are not eligible for immediate re-election after serving two consecutive terms.
But..but according to the international community Hezbollah is harmless. The cell was holding many weapons, including powerful bombs and M-16 rifles.
Israel Hayom – Israel has foiled a massive plot to carry out a “mega-attack” or wave of several deadly terrorist attacks against Israeli targets, it was announced on Wednesday. The Israel Police’s Northern District’s Border Unit and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) scored a significant intelligence success by uncovering an Israeli-Arab cell smuggling weapons and explosives from Lebanon into Israel.
Eleven suspects were indicted Wednesday in a Nazareth court on charges of aiding the enemy in a time of war, meeting with foreign agents, possession of weapons,conspiracy to commit a crime, attempted drug smuggling and attempted drug trafficking.
Some of the explosives intended for use against Israeli targets.
Following the lifting of a gag order on the case Wednesday, it was revealed that the cell, made up of three distinct groups and comprising 14 individuals smuggled in 24 ready-to-use C4 high-quality bombs with attached timers into the northern border town of Ghajar, which straddles the Israel-Lebanon border. In addition to the explosive devices, the suspected cell members were caught, following an extensive intelligence gathering operation, with an FN MAG general-purpose machine gun and an M16 rifle stolen from the Israel Defense Forces.
Of the 14 suspects, six are from Ghajar (one of the suspects is reportedly just 17 years old and another is related to the village’s elder), six are from Nazareth and one from Ramle in the center of the country.
From Ghajar, the explosives were transferred to Kafr Kana and Nazareth. The operation was dubbed “Time Bomb” as the security services were racing against time to make sure the explosives weren’t scattered across the country. The cells were operated by the Hezbollah: One cell operated in Lebanon and transferred the explosives to the cell based in Ghajar. The Ghajar cell then worked with the Nazareth-based cell. According to police, some communication between the cells was done through cellphone SIM cards procured in Jordan.
“This is one of the most severe and dangerous security plots we’ve had here. The intelligence provided by the police’s northern border unit was of extremely high quality,” a district police officer told Israel Radio on Wednesday.
Police said that Hezbollah used an existing drug smuggling network of Israeli Arabs to bring 24 ready-to-use bombs from Lebanon into Israel. Some of the smugglers were not aware that they were transporting explosives, whilst others did know, police added.
The trigger mechanism.
According to the Northern District’s Spokesperson’s Office, “Over the past year, Hezbollah has been greatly motivated to carry out terrorist attacks against Israelis and Jews. Hezbollah has worked to gather intelligence information to carry out a significant terrorist attack. In order to achieve their set goal of carrying out a high-profile, effective attack inside Israel, Hezbollah smuggled in large bombs, including operating systems and timers.”
In a press conference, a Shin Bet official said that the agency decided to swoop in on the cell after the bombs were moved from the northern border town of Ghajar to Nazareth. It remains unclear who the eventual recipients of the explosives are, and there is speculation from security experts that since the bombs did not reach their intended handlers, there is a strong possibility that a Hezbollah sleeper cell is still active in Israel. The Shin Bet told reporters that it decided to act to take 20 kilograms of C4 explosives off the streets. Agency officials said that Hezbollah uses tactics of crime organizations, making use of drug smuggling networks. This is just the tip of the iceberg of Hezbollah terror activity, the official said. Since Hezbollah has been deterred from heating up the Lebanese border with Israel, it is trying to spread terror abroad, such as the July attack against Israeli tourists in Bulgaria, and inside Israel, the official said.

IT was like a scene from a war film. A crowd of worshippers in a church — perhaps praying, their eyes shut — and suddenly the eerie sounds of guns. Pandemonium. Blood, tears and anguish.
But it was no movie. All was real last night in Okene, Kogi State where unknown gunmen stormed a church and opened fire on worshippers, killing no fewer than 16.
Killed were worshippers of Deeper Life Bible Church opposite the Federal College of Education (FCE). Many were injured.
“We are shocked. It is serious,” a Pastor told The Nation last night.
The gunmen, who were said to be bearing sophisticated weapons, stormed the church during the Bible Study, a Monday programme, at about 7p.m., shooting indiscriminately.
The gunmen reportedly took the worshippers by surprise. They blocked all entrances into the church, preventing people from escaping as they fired indiscriminately at the worshippers.
A source said 15 worshippers died on the spot; one died in the hospital.
Iran claims they are just “pilgrims.” Who in their right mind would make a pilgrimage to a major war zone?
American Thinker – Initially, Iran told the world that the 48 were “religious pilgrims.” But members of the Free Syrian Army who have claimed responsibility for holding them says they’re members of the elite Revolutionary Guards.
“They are Iranian thugs who were in Damascus for a field reconnaissance mission,” said a rebel leader, in a video that the rebels said showed the captives sitting calmly behind armed Syrian fighters. In the video, the rebels flipped through what they said were Iranian identification cards and certificates for carrying weapons, proving, the rebels said, that the hostages were not religious pilgrims.
The identities and motives of the captives could not be independently verified, and some rebel groups have not embraced the kidnapping or the theory laid out by the fighters in the video. Col. Malik al-Kurdi, a deputy commander of the Free Syrian Army – one of several competing umbrella groups involved in the fighting – said the brigade taking responsibility for the kidnapping appeared to have been acting on its own and did not tell the Free Syrian Army about the operation.
Iranian officials said the kidnapped Iranians were pilgrims, denying that any of them were members of the Revolutionary Guards, Iran’s Arabic-language channel Al Alam reported Sunday, quoting an unnamed government spokesman. On Saturday, Iran’s foreign minister, Ali Akbar Salehi, contacted the Syrian and Turkish foreign ministries, asking them to secure the release of the 48 Iranians.
In a statement, the Iranian Embassy in Damascus said that the abducted Iranians had traveled to Syria using a “private” tour company for a pilgrimage to the Shiite shrine of Sayyida Zeinab in the southeastern suburbs of Damascus, which is a mile or two from where fierce fighting has been raging in the neighborhood of Tadamon. While the video clip of the abducted Iranians showed only men, Iranian state news media said that women and children were also among those taken by the Syrian rebels.
So which is it, Rev Guards or pilgrims? It would not be beyond the Iranians to use the cover of a religious pilgrimage to smuggle members of the Quds force into Syria — even using women and children as part of the scheme. And there have been documented instances of Iranian fighters assisting in the crackdown.
But the rebels have been wont to make wild claims, so their credbility is barely better than the Iranian government. If they are members of the Quds force, it shows that Iran is about to take a more active role in the Syrian civil war. This would be in keeping with the Iranian statement that they will not let President Assad fall.
An Iranian entry into the war would be just about as bad as it gets from the standpoint of spreading the conflict to other nations.
Once the rebels take over this will be an everyday occurrence. It wouldn’t be an Islamic revolution otherwise.
Beirut (via Atlas) – Syrian television presenter Mohammed al-Saeed, kidnapped from his Damascus home in mid-July, has been executed, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday.
“The television presenter, a well-known figure on state TV, has been executed, and the Al-Nusra Front has claimed responsibility for the killing,” the Observatory’s Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
Al-Nusra, a little-known Islamist militant group, claimed the kidnapping and execution of Saeed in a statement on Friday.
“The heroes of western Ghouta [in Damascus province] imprisoned the shabih [pro-regime militia] presenter on July 19,” said Al-Nusra. “He was then killed after he had been interrogated.”
Posted on a forum featuring the al-Qaeda flag, Al-Nusra’s statement showed a photograph of Saeed looking frightened, with his back against a wall in an unknown location.
“May this be a lesson to all those who support the regime,” it said.
Contacted by AFP, state TV director Maan Saleh said: “We have no material proof of this killing.”
Last month, international media rights watchdog Reporters Without Borders issued a statement on Saeed’s kidnapping, and urged his captors to release him.
“News media and journalists – both professional and citizen journalists – should not be targeted by any of the parties in a war or civil war,” it said at the time.
Hijab was only sworn in as prime minister by Assad on 26th June this year.
June swearing in ceremony.
Arutz Sheva – Syrian President Bashar Assad’s prime minister Riyad Hijab fled to Jordan Monday and declared, “As of today, I am a soldier of the Free Syrian Army,” while Syrian President Bashar Assad escalates his onslaught in Aleppo. Three other ministers also fled.
Jordan confirmed Hijab’s asylum, but the Syrian regime immediately announced that he was fired, two months after he was appointed
Hijab’s defection was one of the most high profile desertions from President Bashar al-Assad’s political and military circles, Reuters reported. On Sunday, al Arabiya television reported a senior Syrian intelligence officer had also defected to Jordan.
Hijab may have seen the writing on the wall as Assad survives with the diplomatic if not military support of Russia and China, but it is questionable how much longer they can justify their alliance as Syrian war panes bombed civilians in the capital and in the commercial hub of Aleppo.
In Damascus, thousands cheered in the streets over the news that a bomb exploded on the third floor of the regime’s official radio and television building. However, broadcasting continued.
Rebels in districts of Aleppo visited by Reuters journalists seemed battered, overwhelmed and running low on ammunition after days of intense tank shelling and helicopter gunships strafing their positions with heavy machinegun fire.
Emboldened by an audacious bomb attack in Damascus that killed four of Assad’s top security officials last month, the rebels had tried to overrun the capital and Aleppo, but the lightly armed rebels have been outgunned by the Syrian army’s superior weaponry.
The violence has already shown elements of a proxy war between Sunni and Shi’ite Islam that could spill beyond Syria’s border. The rebels claimed responsibility for capturing 48 Iranians in Syria, forcing Tehran to call on Turkey and Qatar – major supporters of the rebels – to help secure their release. Continue reading →
Not many facts right now. As usual, a lot of conflicting stories at this time. Reports says the shooter was a white male, with a heavy build, bald head and wearing a sleeveless T-shirt. He is said to be down, but there may be more than one shooter…
In case you don’t know, Sikhs are not Muslims, though they are sometimes mistaken by idiots as Muslims because of the men wear turbans and beards. They are peaceful and don’t bother anyone.
UPDATE:
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel – At least four people were shot just after 10 a.m. Sunday at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek, and a police SWAT team entered the building before noon and brought uninjured people out of the building at 7512 S. Howell Ave.
Around noon, they started removing injured people from the temple’s prayer room.
SWAT team members were still sweeping the building about 1 p.m. and an explosion was heard from the building at that time.
The first officer on the scene encountered an active shooter and exchanged fire with him, according to Greenfield Police Chief Bradley Wentlandt.
The shooter went down and the officer was hit multiple times, but is expected to survive, said Wentland, who is acting as police spokesman for the incident.
Among those who were shot was the president of the temple, Satwant Kaleka, who was taken to a hospital.
Deepinder Dhaliwal said Kaleka, his brother in law, was shot in the back, but has now been taken to a hospital in St. Francis.
Dhaliwal said his sister, the president’s wife, called him while hiding inside the building with a few other women.
Dick Katschke, a spokesman for the Medical College of Wisconsin, said three adult males were being treated at Froedtert Hospital in Wauwatosa. One of the three was undergoing surgery in the intensive care ward. Another is in an operating room. And the third is being treated in the emergency room, Katschke said.
All three were being treated for gunshot wounds.
People were in the temple as early as 6:30 a.m. Sunday and many more were arriving for a service that was to begin about 11:30 a.m.
There were reports that children were taken away from the area of the building where the shooting took place after shots were fired.
Someone who sent a text message to a Journal Sentinel reporter shortly before noon said that there were two shooters with children possibly as hostages. Continue reading →
Obama and Panetta say what we need is another decade of meaningless, futile sanctions. Any rational person would say, what we need is a bunker buster up Ahmadinejad’s ass.
Ahmadinejad said that a “horrible Zionist current” had been managing world affairs for “about 400 years … Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime in order to pave the way for world justice and freedom.”
The guys is certifiable, but those who continue to ignore him – the entire leadership of the free world – is more pathetic than this whack-job.
Jerusalem Post – In a speech published on his website Thursday, Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the ultimate goal of world forces must be the annihilation of Israel.
Speaking to ambassadors from Islamic countries ahead of ‘Qods Day’ (‘Jerusalem Day’), an annual Iranian anti-Zionist event established in 1979 by Ayatollah Khomeini and which falls this year on August 17, Ahmadinejad said that a “horrible Zionist current” had been managing world affairs for “about 400 years.”
Repeating traditional antisemitic slurs, the Iranian president accused “Zionists” of controlling the world’s media and financial systems.
It was Zionists, he said, who were “behind the scene of the world’s main powers, media, monetary and banking centers.”
“They are the decision makers, to the extent that the presidential election hopefuls [of the USA] must go and kiss the feet of the Zionists to ensure their election victory,” he added.
Ahmadinejad added that “liberating Palestine” would solve all the world’s problems, although he did not elaborate on exactly how that might work.
“Qods Day is not merely a strategic solution for the Palestinian problem, as it is to be viewed as a key for solving the world problems,” he said.
He added: “Anyone who loves freedom and justice must strive for the annihilation of the Zionist regime in order to pave the way for world justice and freedom.”
The Iranian president said that Israel reinforced “the dominance of arrogant powers in the region and across the globe” and that Arab countries in particular – he cited Bahrain, Yemen, Libya, Syria and Turkey – were affected by Israel’s “plots.”
Ahmadinejad, who has called the Holocaust a myth, has previously called for Israel’s annihilation, in a 2005 speech in which he used a Persian phrase that translates literally as “wiped off the page of time.”
(AFP) – Members of the rebel Free Syrian Army executed regime loyalists in the embattled northern city of Aleppo on Tuesday, according to amateur video posted on YouTube by activists.
The video showed members of the Al-Berri tribe being led into a square filled with armed men, chanting: “The FSA forever!”
The face of one of the captives was covered in blood, and he had been stripped almost naked, as rebels gathered around him and stood him against a wall.
Other captives were lined up next to him, as rebels chanted: “God is greatest.”
They opened a torrent of fire on their captives, identified as members of a tribe that entered the fighting on Tuesday in Aleppo on the side of the regime.
The Fakestinians know very well that they and their fictitious ‘homeland’ are frauds.
What a bunch of nuts.
Jul 31, 2012 by TheIsraeliGeneral2 – Sometimes, even arabs unintentionally speak the truth. Here a Hamas terrorist admits, that there is no “Palestine” and no “Palestinian” people.
He didn’t want to do it, which is probably why he ordered that the blood-thirsty terrorist get a burial with full Islamic honors. For Barack Hussein Obama, Osama bin Laden was a fallen comrade.
Valerie Jarrett, who the book claims persuaded Obama to cancel the operation 3 times (4 in total), is one of the most dangerous women in America. If we had any real journalists in the Democrat-controlled media, this 5th column traitor would have been exposed for the Marxist, America-hating creep that she truly is. The same goes for Obama, of course.
Arutz Sheva – At the urging of senior advisor Valerie Jarrett, President Barack Obama canceled the operation to kill Osama bin Laden on three separate occasions before finally approving the May 2, 2011 Navy SEAL mission, according to a new book scheduled for release August 21, The Daily Caller (DC) reported.
In “Leading From Behind: The Reluctant President and the Advisors who Decide for Him,” Richard Miniter writes that Obama canceled the mission in January 2011, again in February, and a third time in March.
Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor and assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, reportedly persuaded Obama to hold off each time, the book reveals, according to The DC.
Miniter, a two-time New York Times best-selling author, cites an unnamed source with Joint Special Operations Command who had direct knowledge of the operation and its planning.
Obama administration officials said after the raid that the president had delayed giving the order to kill the arch-terrorist the day before the operation was carried out, in what turned out to be his fourth moment of indecision.
At the time, the White House blamed the delay on unfavorable weather conditions near bin Laden’s compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. However, when Miniter obtained that day’s weather reports from the U.S. Air Force Combat Meteorological Center, he said, they showed ideal conditions for the SEALs to carry out their orders.
“President Obama’s greatest success was actually his greatest failure,” Miniter told The DC. “Leading From Behind,” he said, traces six key decisions of the Obama administration, and shows how the president made them, or, in many cases, failed to make them.
The president has made the assassination of Osama bin Laden a focal point in his re-election campaign, calling it one of the ”gutsiest calls of any president in recent history.”
The guy in the video with the long hair is now thought to have been wearing a wig.
The man in the artist’s sketch may have been the Burgas bomber himself, rather than a helper, authorities now believe. Israeli Mossad and Shin Bet teamsare reported to be analyzing remnants of the bomb — a homemade device comprising 3 kg. of TNT — in order to determine its origin. Bulgarian officials were quoted Saturday as saying they were “three or four days” away from identifying the bomber.
Times of Israel – Bulgarian authorities have established that a Hezbollah terror cell orchestrated last Wednesday’s bombing on a bus at Burgas airport in which five Israelis and the Bulgarian bus driver were killed, Israel’s Channel 2 news reported on Saturday night.
There is a concern that members of the cell have fled Bulgaria, possibly overland to Turkey.
The authorities distributed an artist’s sketch on Friday of a man they believed had helped the bomber, but they now believe the man in the sketch may have been the bomber himself, the report added. The sketch has been widely distributed in Burgas, including at resort hotels.
Bulgaria’s Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said on Saturday “there may have been a second man” directly involved in the bombing. “We have not ruled that out.”
With assistance from Israeli Mossad and Shin Bet teams, and other intelligence agencies, the Bulgarians were reported to be analyzing remnants of the bomb — a homemade device comprising 3 kg. of TNT — in order to determine its origin.
Bulgarian officials were quoted Saturday as saying they were “three or four days” away from identifying the bomber, who arrived in the area about four-to-seven days before the attack.
Bulgarian prosecutors said the attacker had short hair, not the long hair seen in the security video footage captured of him at the airport, carrying the backpack that, Tsvetanov said, held the bomb. A witness said he appeared to be wearing a wig.
Tsvetanov said the bomb had detonated in the luggage compartment of the bus carrying Israelis from their newly landed plane to the terminal on Wednesday afternoon. The bomber was believed to have been about 36 years old, he said.
The same man, according to eyewitnesses quoted on Israel’s Channel 2 news, had been seen speaking to tourists at local beaches in the days before the attack. Continue reading →
Times of Israel – Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad gloated publicly on Thursday over the deaths of Israelis in a terror bombing in Bulgaria, and hinted that Iran was responsible for the attack.
Speaking hours after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had publicly blamed the bombing Wednesday at Bulgaria’s Burgas airport on “Hezbollah, directed by Iran,” Ahmadinejad described the attack as “a response” to Israeli “blows against Iran.”
“The bitter enemies of the Iranian people and the Islamic Revolution have recruited most of their forces in order to harm us,” he said in a speech reported by Israel’s Channel 2 TV. “They have indeed succeeded in inflicting blows upon us more than once, but have been rewarded with a far stronger response.”
He added: “The enemy believes it can achieve its aims in a long, persistent struggle against the Iranian people, but in the end it will not. We are working to ensure that.
Ahmadinejad’s speech was interpreted in Israel as asserting that the Burgas bombing was a revenge attack for the killing of Iranian nuclear scientists, for which Iran has repeatedly blamed Israel.
And the Left still insists that Gitmo be closed. What for? Gitmo is a health spa for terrorists. They get fattened up and go on to kill more infidels. Leftists live vicariously through these creeps.
If the report is accurate, then the blood is also on the hands of ultra-Liberal Sweden who lobbied for the creep’s release from Gitmo, and then did not press charges against him.
Political correctness is going to be our downfall.
Times of Israel – Bulgarian media on Thursday named the suicide bomber who blew up a bus full of Israeli tourists, killing five Israelis and a local bus driver, in the Black Sea resort of Burgas on Wednesday as Mehdi Ghezali.
There was no independent confirmation of the veracity of the information. The reports surfaced soon after Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had publicly accused Hezbollah, directed by Iran, of responsibility for the bombing. The Prime Minister’s Office made no comment on the reports.
The Bulgarian reports, rapidly picked up by Hebrew media, posited various versions of how the bomber had detonated the bomb, including the suggestion that the bomber had not intended to die in the blast, but may have wanted to place the bomb on the bus and flee.
Weasel Zippers adds this: Even after he was released (and featured in a documentary on U.S. human rights abuses), Ghezali was again arrested in 2009 trying to cross into Pakistan with a suicide vest and $50,000.
With a black baseball cap pulled tight over a mop of stringy long hair and a patchy, close-cropped beard, Mehdi-Muhammed Ghezali looked more like a Metallica roadie than a disciple of Ayman al-Zawahiri. He addressed the scrum of reporters in a clipped, heavily accented Swedish and accused the American government of wrongly detaining him for three years and “physically and mentally” torturing him. A book about his experiences was in the works; a documentary crew, cobbling together a film about American human rights abuses, had requested an audience; and his legal team was plotting a lawsuit against Donald Rumsfeld. It was 2004, and Ghezali was a free man.
In late 2001, Ghezali, a Swedish national, had been detained during the battle at Tora Bora, Afghanistan, handed over to the American military, and sent to the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay. According to his lawyers, he was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Although he spoke none of the local languages, Ghezali told his captors, in the midst of the Taliban’s retreat into the mountainous hinterlands of Afghanistan, he had crossed that country’s border with Pakistan to study Islam.
After an intense lobbying effort by Swedish prime minister Göran Persson–and a vague promise that the country’s intelligence services would keep a watchful eye on him–Ghezali was delivered to Sweden (on the government’s private Gulfstream jet). The Swedish daily Dagens Nyheter noted that Ghezali had achieved “rock star status” upon returning to his homeland, a native victim of America’s rapacious imperialism. And after two-plus years in isolation, the emotionally fragile former prisoner would be happy to discover “that a majority of Swedes were glad that he was home.”
That his story was threaded with head-scratching omissions and inexplicable gaps in chronology–the years in Cuba were, apparently, not enough time to concoct a consistent narrative–seemed to have little effect on his credibility. To his supporters, he was merely a bit player in a larger morality play. But even his most credulous supporters winced when, during a press conference in his hometown of Örebro, Ghezali offered the following opinion of Osama bin Laden: “I don’t know him as a person and therefore can’t pass judgment on him. I don’t believe what the Americans say about him.”
Sweden’s justice minister ruled out prosecuting Ghezali, and the story faded from the public consciousness. But in a country with a significant Muslim minority, it was perhaps inevitable that the foreign ministry would find itself in a similar situation again.
The attack occured on the 18th anniversary of the attack on a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires.
Jerusalem Post – Seven people were killed and 32 injured when a bomb exploded on an Israeli tourist bus at the airport of the Bulgarian city of Burgas on Wednesday, the 18th anniversary of the Iran-sponsored attack on the AMIA Jewish center in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Six of the victims died on the spot, and the seventh in the hospital following the attack, Bulgarian officials confirmed. Two of the victims were said to be Bulgarian — the bus driver and tour guide.
The bus was carrying 42 Israeli tourists who landed in Bulgaria at a 4:45 p.m for a vacation in Sunny Beach. Two adjacent buses were also damaged in the blast.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman spoke with his Bulgarian counterpart Nikolay Mladenov in relation to the explosion.
Mladenov was heading to the site of the blast and said that he would bring Liberman up to date when he arrives.
Liberman called for an immediate meeting at the Foreign Ministry’s situation room to discuss the issue with the relevant bodies.
The Israeli embassy in Bulgaria was also investigating the explosion.
ZAKA and MDA rescue services in Israel were preparing delegations to fly to Bulgaria.
In January, a suspicious package found on a bus carrying Israeli tourists from Turkey to Bulgaria led Israel to request boosted security for its citizens traveling in the country, according to reports in the Bulgarian press.
The Sofia News Agency Novinite quoted Dan Shenar, head of security at the Israeli Transportation Ministry, confirmed he had requested the increased security at the time.
Israel has been concerned Hezbollah would try to attack Israelis overseas in in connection with the fourth anniversary of the assassination of Hezbollah military commander Imad Mughniyeh, attributed to the Mossad.
Israel had asked Bulgaria, for example, to increase its security over Israeli tour groups in the capital city of Sofia. According to Sofia News Agency, a Hezbollah plot was earlier uncovered by local security agencies, which warned Israel.

Times of Israel – A massive blast struck the National Security building in Damascus on Wednesday, killing Syrian President Bashar Assad’s most trusted security official, his brother-in-law Assef Shawkat, and his defense minister, Dawoud Rajha.
Several other senior officials were seriously wounded in the bombing, which took place as the regime’s top officials were holding security talks, and marked the most brazen rebel attack to date on the seat of government power.
Reuters said it was unclear whether Assad himself was present at the meeting.
State TV reported that Assad’s brother-in-law, Shawkat, who held the formal title of deputy chief of staff but who headed the president’s military intelligence hierarchy and was leading the fight against opposition forces, died after being hospitalized in critical condition.
Interior Minister Muhammad al-Shaar was seriously wounded but in stable condition. Syrian intelligence chief Hisham Bekhtyar was undergoing surgery after being wounded.
Rebel leader Riad al-Asaad said in a phone interview from his headquarters in Turkey that rebel forces planted a bomb inside a room where senior government officials were meeting.
Reuters reported that the bomber worked as a bodyguard for Assad’s inner circle. Initial reports spoke of a suicide bomber. Later reports, however, suggested that a bomb had been placed in the room where the top officials met, and was detonated either by a timer or by remote control.
Government officials claimed that America and Israel were involved in the attack.
The Syrian army released a statement saying its forces will continue to fight. ”Whoever thinks that by targeting the country’s leaders they will be able to twist Syria’s arm is disillusioned because Syria’s people, army and leadership are now more determined than ever to fight terrorism … and cleanse the nation from the armed gangs.”
According to the BBC, Damascus quickly appointed a new defense minister, Gen. Fahad Jassim Freij, who was previously the military chief of staff.
The capital has seen four straight days of clashes pitting government troops against rebels — an unprecedented challenge to government rule in the tightly controlled capital. (more >>>)
It is widely believed that any sort of military action that Israel takes against Iran would be followed by a response from the Lebanese Shi’ite paramilitary organization on its northern border. Last Friday, 
Valerie Jarrett, a senior advisor and assistant to the president for Public Engagement and Intergovernmental Affairs, reportedly persuaded Obama to hold off each time, the book reveals, according to The DC.
