Wishful Thinking vs Hard Reality RE: Islamic Violence

Sultan Knish nails it.  He writes:

The fulfillment of Islam depends on the subjugation of non-Muslims so that violence against non-Muslims become the essence of religion. When Hamas states that, “Killing Jews is worship that draws us close to Allah” or the ISIS rapists tell Yazidi girls that rape "draws them closer to Allah", they really do mean it. They are not perverting a great religion, as our politicians claim, they are living it. Everything they do is based on the Koran, the body of Islamic law and the greater history of Islam.

I would add to the last sentence "and the example of Muhammad."

Read the article here:  Why Islam is a Religion of War 

In the wake of the Paris atrocity of November 13, we see lots of errant opinions on  the causes and cures of Islamic violence.  At the base of this self-delusion is the belief that Muslims have a legitimate beef, and that some kind of accommodation with them is possible.

The only accommodation possible is to become Muslims ourselves, end Christianity and Judaism, Buddhism, Hinduism and every other religion, in favor of Islam.  We would also have to be complicit in the second holocaust of the Jews, allowing Israel to be overrun by the Muslim hordes.

Once we become Muslims, no more music concerts, pet dogs, pork or alcohol.  No more rights for women, who will become disposable property.  No more Christmases or Hanukkahs. Sharia law will be instituted, allowing adulterers to be stoned to death.  Along with adulterers, gays, fornicators, and apostates will be put to death in one grisly fashion or the other.  Thieves will have their hands cut off in the public square.

Obviously, converting to Islam is not an option any sane westerner would accept.

I believe that containment of Islam, like we once contained Communism, is the most acceptable, near-term answer.  That and a show of moral clarity by our cowardly and accommodating western leaders.  That would include making it clear to Islamic states throughout the world:

• That we will never accept or allow Sharia law within western nations.
• That we will never accept Islam as a legitimate religion, due to its religious doctrines requiring  unending war against all mankind, and its ongoing crimes against humanity.
• That we will never accept Muhammad as a prophet of God, due to his immorality and history of robbery, torture, aggression and mass murder.
• That we will punish severely any 9/11 style attacks by Islamic forces anywhere in the civilized world.
• That any nuclear attacks by any Islamic nation on Israel or any western nation will illicit a nuclear response on Mecca and Medina, and the eradication of Islam throughout the world.

Islam NOT WELCOME in the United States of America.

This week a crowd of bikers protested Islamic intolerance in front of a mosque in Phoenix.  They were there to draw pictures of Mohammed.  This was in response to the two (now dead) Muslim thugs who attempted to murder attendees at the "Draw Mohammed" art show in Garland, Texas, a few weeks ago.

The biker/Marine who organized the protest has received numerous death threats from the Religion of Peace.

The public is increasingly aware of how repugnant Islam is to western civilization and society.  They are also more and more fed up with Islamic violence and murder.  My advice to Muslims in the USA:  get the hell out.  We don't want you here.  You are not welcome.

British Man Jailed For Displaying a Tattoo #Islam

Hat Tip:  Moonbattery

Via Moonbattery, a British man has been jailed in the U.K. for "inciting racial hatred" by displaying a tattoo.  The tattoo depicts a mosque blowing up.

Great Britain has become the most extreme "progressive" nation in the Western world.  Freedom of speech, freedom of inquiry are not permitted unless approved by the British government.  The U.K. leaders, as Moonbattery points out, are hypocrites.  They never arrested a single Muslim that displayed signs in London that advocated murder of those who oppose Islam.

The Stogiemeister would not fare well in the land of his ancestors.  I have long advocated the destruction of Islamic holy sites but only in response to terrorist attacks on the west.  Since Muslims believe that dying for their barbaric religion is a sure ticket to the Big Bordello in the Sky, killing them will not deter others.  However, the destruction of prize Islamic holy sites might provide the necessary disincentive to Islamic violence.  The mosque on the dome of the rock could be reduced to rubble, or the pink mosque, the Taj Mahal, or even Mecca and Medina obliterated, if need be.  Future Islamic pilgrims could do their hajj in a smoking, radioactive hole where the Grand Mosque and Kaaba used to be.

This Brit is not the first to advocate destruction of mosques.  I did so some time back with this Photoshop in a post titled "How to Punish the Jihadis."  I wrote:

...the victimized country (like India) could select a sacred Islamic shrine for utter destruction, e.g. an ancient Mosque. Announce its destruction as reparation for the terrorist attack. Then take a wrecking ball to the structure, reducing it to rubble. Or, if the Mosque is behind enemy lines (the enemy being the Islamic world), use a smart bomb or guided missile to destroy the structure. In other words, target the symbols and hateful institutions of Islam. This tactic recognizes the fact that it is Islam itself that is responsible for terrorism, as it is a terrorist ideology as is well documented in its holy texts and traditions. We must rid ourselves of the short-sighted view that terrorist-jihadis are individual criminals; they are in fact agents of Islam and it is Islam itself that must be punished for the deeds of its believers.

However, I want this to be absolutely clear:  this form of retaliation should be carried out by western governments as wartime measures, NOT by individuals acting on their own.  

As for Great Britain, it has become a sorry excuse for a representative of Western Civilization.  The Brits not only fail miserably to protect their citizens from violent Islam, they go out of their way to protect violent Islam from their own citizens.  U.K. government, you disgust me.

Iran vs Israel: Ahmadinejad's Revenge! (Cartoon)

Perhaps this graphic could be titled "Scenes We'd Like to See," after the old Mad Magazine comics.

Islam is an Insult to All Humanity

An Insult to All Humanity

Iranian followers of the false prophet, Murderous Mo and his hand puppet, Awful Allah, are promising (again) to destroy Israel.  This vicious, disgusting, inhuman, backward and rotten nation of Iran dares to insult a culture much greater, more advanced and infinitely more valuable than itself.  Ahmadinejad, the swarthy and short President of Iran, has promised the near-term destruction of Israel, calling it "an insult to all humanity."

Israel is not "an insult to all humanity," it is ISLAM that is an insult to all humanity.  The fact that Mohammed was a lust-filled thief, pedophile, sex fiend, rapist and mass murdering fraud is bad enough -- it is an insult to all humanity to revere such an odious man or to assign him the status of "prophet of God."  However, since Mo's followers want to emulate this ancient criminal, their religion becomes the business of the rest of the world.  We don't give a damn how much reverence or holiness or sanctity you Muslims give to your evil religion, its prophet, or its violent and intolerant traditions -- you are simply not going to commit mass murder in their name, or conquer peaceful nations that do you no harm, or force more developed cultures to replace modernity and enlightenment with ignorance, darkness and backwardness.

You attack Israel, you attack the rest of us.  You wipe out Israel, we wipe out Mecca and Medina in response.  We reduce every great mosque and Islamic shrine to rubble, no matter where they are located anywhere in the world.  We desecrate the bodies of the mujaheddin, dress them in women's lingerie, paint a Star of David on their forehead, bury them face down and facing away from Mecca, hugging the carcass of a pig.  We will send the great martyrs of Allah back to him in surprising new ways.

We are sick of your perverted hatred, your unrelenting war on the non-Muslim world, your glorification of violence and evil.   Fourteen centuries of Islamic evil is quite enough -- no more will be tolerated.  You are going to learn to behave yourselves, and soon, because what you are going to pay for your continued barbarism will quickly prove much too steep a price.

Think about it.  And while you're at it, change to a civilized religion.

Dick "Turbin" Durbin Holds Hearings on Bias Against Muslims

Dick Durbin, US Senator from Illinois, has found the perfect liberal response to the King hearings on Islamic radicalization in America.  Durbin is conducting his own hearings on discrimination against Muslims.

Robert Spencer says Durbin's hearings are a PC charade designed to paint Muslims as victims.  I agree.  Democrats like Durbin can never pass up an opportunity to pose and posture as the champions of tolerance and enlightenment, no matter how fake their act.

Lawrence Auster, of View From the Right, explains the pro-Islam mindset of liberals and some conservatives (like Glenn Beck).  He writes:

Western liberals cannot allow themselves to take in the fact that Islam actually exists, that Islam is an entity defined by certain unchanging characteristics and teachings, because if that were true, if Islam had an essence and this essence commands our subjugation and destruction, then we would simply have to recognize that Muslims are an eternal threat to us and deal with them accordingly. Which would bring to an end the liberal project of constructing a single harmonious world living under a single shared (democratic, American-oriented) belief system. Therefore Western liberals, including “conservatives,” insist that Islam is not an objective category or entity which requires its followers to behave a certain way, but simply a variegated collection of people who happen to share the common name “Muslims,” but beyond the common name, they share nothing essential. As a collection of people, they are just like us; some are good, some bad, some violent, some peaceful, etc. Therefore when a Muslim commits an act of jihad, he is not following the sacred commands of Islam, he is just a misbehaving individual. In short, Islam doesn’t kill people, people kill people.

Read Spencer's take on the Durbin hearings here.  Meanwhile, my tactful Photoshop below expresses the subtle nuances of this sociological phenomenon.

People Who Object to Islamic Mass Murder Are Merely Ignorant or Bigoted

For the past day or so I have been corresponding with an American Muslim woman, Fleur, who wanted to know why I am so opposed to Islam.  I told her and then she began to tell me how "ignorant" and "bigoted" I am.  Yes, I really oppose Islam only because Muslims are different.  Fourteen centuries of Islamic mass murder throughout the world has nothing to do with it.  I should ignore my own lying eyes and the countless dead bodies and believe Fleur instead.

The problem for Fleur is that I am not ignorant.  I am very well read on Islam, its doctrines, history and practices. Fleur, like so many Muslims, simply close their eyes to the elephant in the room, i.e. Islamic violence.  They pretend that it does not exist and are quite perturbed when you point it out.  It's so impolite, like pointing out a huge wart on the end of someone's nose.

I will agree with Fleur that I am quite biased against Islam.  I am not too crazy about Jew-gassing Nazis or Ukranian-starving communists either.  Nor do I particularly like cannibals, head hunters and practitioners of human sacrifice.  (I'm SO ASHAMED!) As Thomas Mann said, "Tolerance, when applied to evil, becomes a crime."

William Teach at Pirate's Cove has an excellent post along these same lines today.  His post is about a Muslim professor who, like Fleur, says that people concerned about Islam are merely "ignorant."  Teach replies:

Got that? It’s not because you are a hater of people who stone women, whip women, hang gays, want to exterminate Jews and Israel, among others, and, oh, yeah, let’s not forget fly hijack planes into buildings to kill civilians. No, it’s because you are just too stupid to understand Islam.

He later adds:

See? You’re stupid. If only you truly knew about Islam, you’d submit. Which, of course, is what Islam means. Submission to Allah. Submission to Sharia law. To women being second class citizens, whipped for being seen in public with a man other than their father or husband. To being married off as a young teen. To killing the unbeliever. To…..well, actually, you know what Islam stands for. And when we call the hardcores “extremists,” really, they aren’t. The ones we call moderates are actually the extremists, for failing to follow the full word of Mohammed.

That last sentence is exactly what I told Fleur last night. If she is a moderate Muslim, fine, but she should realize that she is partly apostasized for failing to fully follow the commandments of her pirate prophet.  The terrorists are the true Muslims, carrying out the dictates of Muhammad to the letter.

Christian Tea-Party Members Rip Pages From Koran in Front of White House

Hot dog, more and more Americans are speaking out against Islam.  Six Christians protested Islam in front of the White House today and tore out pages from the Koran that calls for hatred against Christians and Jews.

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A small group of conservative Christians tore some pages from a Koran in a protest outside the White House Saturday to denounce what they called the "charade of Islam" on the anniversary of 9/11.

"Part of why we're doing that, please hear me: the charade that Islam is a peaceful religion must end," said Randall Terry, a leading anti-abortion campaigner, and one of six people who took part in the protest.

Another activist, Andrew Beacham, read out a few Koran passages calling for hatred towards Christians and Jews, and then ripped those pages from an English paperback edition of the Islamic holy book.

He carefully put the torn pieces into a plastic bag, in order not to litter, and said: "The only reason I will not burn it at the White House is because to burn anything on the Capitol grounds is a felony."

Beacham, who describes himself as a leader of the rightwing conservative Tea Party from Indiana, added: "The Twin Towers were taken down because of the Koran and other religious teachings."

Beacham nailed it.  The Koran is the reason why the Twin Towers were taken down.

Read it all here.

Update:  I'm sorry to see that Left Coast Rebel is sinking into Islam apologia and dhimmitude.  LCR calls this demonstration "a stunt" and attacks Beacham for demonstrating the truth about Islam and the Koran, i.e. that they are violent and hateful, not peaceful as so many falsely claim.  I wonder if Geert Wilders' production of the film "Fitna" was also a stunt for accomplishing the same thing.  Wilders also recommended tearing the hateful and violent pages out of the Koran.

It is amazing to me how many conservative bloggers are so easily managed by PC and liberal fictions.

Update 2:  To be fair to LCR, he does have a video posted of Beacham at a Tea Party rally where Beacham is shouting at the passers-by about the evils of abortion, and making himself look like a fanatic.  So perhaps Beacham is indeed an embarrassment to the Tea Party movement.  However, that fact does not in any way negate Beacham's legitimate protest of the Koran.  Debby Schlussel is sometimes irrational and nutty, but she is also often right.  Any specific argument one makes should stand on its own merits, without reference to an unrelated issue where he may have been wrong.

There Ain't No Moderate Islam: Andrew McCarthy's Must-Read Article

Andrew McCarthy at NRO is making a lot of sense in this post.  He writes:

Only the blink of an eye ago, uttering the unpleasant truth that in terms of doctrine there is no such thing as “moderate Islam” resulted in one’s banishment from what our opinion elites like to call the “mainstream,” by which they mean the narrow-minded, viciously defended circle of their own pieties and fictions. You could say it, but your skin had better have an extra coat or two of thick: You were in for a fusillade of rage, the likes of which our candor-phobic elites would never dream of unleashing at our Islamist enemies — no matter how clearly those enemies announced their intention to destroy us.

McCarthy's article makes it clear how so many of us have been trained to "self-censor."  There is this need to be "responsible" and "mainstream," to pander to the common mythology:  Islamic terrorists have hijacked the religion, yada yada yada.  In many cases, we have bloggers assuming a pseudo moral posture and repeating liberal slogans about religious intolerance to show how enlightened they are.

Indeed, some of the comments coming out of the right blogosphere right now are particularly inane, especially regarding Pastor Terry Jones and his plan to burn Qurans.  We have Brigitte Gabriel telling her followers:

We at ACT! for America denounce and condemn, in the strongest terms, the upcoming Koran burning event organized by Pastor Terry Jones and members of the Dove World Outreach Center in Gainesville, Florida. Their proposed event is ill-conceived, counter-productive and unwelcome in a world where ideas and philosophies are best debated in the context of the issues and the facts. We find this an archaic act that serves no useful purpose, and as such is a regrettable instance of an inability or unwillingness to discuss the issues facing us in a reasonable and constructive manner.

ACT! for America is, and has always been, committed to exposing the threat of the political ideology of radical Islam and its sharia law through constructive debate, illumination of the facts, and a reasoned analysis of the implications of the threat.

Pastor Jones and his congregation are stooping to the tactics of and joining the inarticulate who express their anger and opposition through destructive and spiteful acts of denigration. What is the difference between his actions and the actions of Islamists destroying synagogues in Gaza or churches and Bibles in Lebanon, Bosnia and Egypt? We are better than that as Americans.

Always devoted,

Brigitte Gabriel

  [Hat tip:  View From the Right]

Has Gabriel forgotten that there is no rational discussion with Islamists?  She acts as if the clash of civilizations is merely the equivalent of discussing new paint schemes for the condo complex, preferably over coffee and danish. Then she makes the absurd comparison of Jones burning a few Qurans to Muslims destroying churches and synagogues.

One of the major goals of political correctness is to cause individuals to self-censor, i.e. refrain from telling unpleasant truths under the threat of  being ostracized as a pariah.  So many of my fellow bloggers self-censor regularly and this event is no exception.

Butts for Sale in Paris? Pork and Wine Fest Called Off on Account of Islam

I saw this picture on a French website, Bloc Identitaire.  It appears to be a storage bin for human butts.  See how neatly they are stacked and arranged.   Not sure if the butts are for commercial purposes or not, but I assume they must be for sale.  Horrors, I would hate to think that human butts are the next French delicacy.  I will stick to snails.

Bloc Identitaire was supporting a Paris public street party featuring wine and pork delicacies, but French officials banned it, for fear it would enrage Muslims.  I kind of think that was the whole idea!

Surf's Up! Mohammed Hangs Ten!

This is the first drawing I ever made of the Prophet Mohammed, back on August 6, 2006.  It was in response to a "draw Mohammed" contest put on by Infidel Bloggers Alliance.

In that contest, IBA asked people to draw pics of Mohammed doing everyday things, so I pictured him surfing.

Another in the "Draw Mohammed" Series

Let's all picture the Prophet Mohammed as he might have appeared in various historical or literary roles.  I'm thinking of depicting him as a fry cook, a football player, Washington crossing the Delaware, WHATEVER.

Here he is as the famous French fictional character, Cyrano de Bergerac.

Everybody Draw Mohammed Day

Via the Left Coast Rebel, someone has declared May 20, 2010 the first annual "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day."  This exercise will be in support of Trey Parker and Matt Stone of "South Park," who have been threatened with death for depicting the "Prophet" Mohammed on their cartoon show.

When we are all targets of Muslim murder, then they will at least have to buy more bombs and ammunition.  No doubt that will be a big inconvenience to them.

Count me in!  However, I think I will draw a new cartoon of Mohammed EVERY DAY until May 20.

I'm late for a party, so I will have to knock one off quickly and not so well.  Here it is:

Feds Seek to Seize Four U.S. Mosques: But What About Our Diversity?

From the AP:

NEW YORK — Federal prosecutors Thursday took steps to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.

In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets of the Alavi Foundation and an alleged front company.

The assets include Islamic centers in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston, more than 100 acres in Virginia, and a 36-story office tower in New York.

Via: Jihad Watch

My comments:  Imagine that, the Federal Government seizing mosques and a skyscraper that belongs to Muslims!   It's about time the Feds woke up:  SEDITION in the name of religion is still SEDITION and the perpetrators should not be allowed to hide behind their cloaks and pulpits.

RICO Statutes: a Weapon Against Militant Islam in the United States

Pastorius at The Astute Bloggers has an excellent article about how the RICO statutes (created at the federal level to deal with crime and racketeering) can be used against militant Islam in the United States.  The article is called RICO - The Beginning of the End of Radical Islam In America - The Feds Are Claiming A "Criminal Conspiracy."

There are more interesting facts, e.g. how western nations like Belgium, Germany and France are dealing with the quasi-religion Scientology.  A court in France convicted the French branch of this "church" of organized fraud.

Pastorius argues that the legal weapons we need to defend western civilization may already be on the books.

The Jim Robinson Doctrine: Questions and Answers

Pastorius of Infidel Bloggers Alliance and the Astute Bloggers (see blog roll) has asked some good questions about Robinson's essay on taking power away from the federal government. He writes:

Stog,
I'm not exactly an expert on the whole states rights argument. Why would this guy want to repeal the 17th amendment? That doesn't make sense to me. He seems to be calling for less democracy if Senators are not elected by popular vote.

And, how is the NSA going to protect ports, bridges, roadways, etc., if the Federal government is supposed to cede all it's property to the states?

Are the states going to take over the ownership of Federal buildings and lands, and then lease them to the Federal government? Is that the idea?

Another problem I have with the FR post is that it is vague in that it does not explain the specifics of how the Federal government has usurped or overextended it's powers.

This is a lot of hot air if no one is willing to be specific.

As you probably know, I believe Obama is governing in a way which is outside the American Tradition. However, I believe he has generally been smart about not comitting impeachable offenses. I do believe that his firing of Inspectors General are probably impeachable offenses. His handling of Chrysler and GM is outside the American Tradition, but unless it can be proven in a court of law that dealerships were shut down for political reasons, that is going to go nowhere.

I am merely saying we have to have specifics around which people will rally. Otherwise, this is just b.s.

My response:

Pas, originally U.S. Senators were selected by the legislatures of the individual states; they were appointed. Congressmen, however, were to be popularly elected. It was believed, with a great deal of common sense, that the Senate was to be a deliberative body unconcerned with political partisanship and petty politics. Since Senators were appointed, there was no need for this. Today we have really nasty politics, the politics of personal destruction and the stupid McCain-Feingold Act, which would be unnecessary if the 17th amendment were repealed. See arguments for repeal at this link: http://www.conservativefront.com/2009/05/13/rethinking-the-17th-amendment/

For your second question, ownership of land and property by the federal government now greatly exceeds its constitutional authority. Currently the federal government "owns" about one-third of all land in the United States; 98% of all land in Alaska, 86% of Nevada land and 65% of all Colorado land. How can the federal government "own" most of a state? That destroys the sovereignty of that state and trashes the "Equal Footing Doctrine" that the original founders wished to preserve, i.e. that all states in the Union are equal in sovereignty vis a vis the federal government.

Despite the intentions of the founders and the clear intent of the Equal Footing Doctrine, the states east of the 100th meridian are vastly "more equal" than the states to the west.

The Constitution is clear about what land the federal government is allowed to possess and the means for acquiring it: see Article 1, Section 8, which describes it thus:
"all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings." That's all! The federal government has no legal right to own 98% of Alaska or any other state.

As far as the Dept of Homeland Security or the armed forces protecting the land of the United States, they are obligated to do so by the same Article I, Section 8, and there is no requirement or necessity for them to own the land that they defend; they are an arm of the states and carrying out duties specifically delegated to them by the Constitution, i.e. to raise armed forces for the common defense of the states.

So Jim Robinson is right about taking back the illegally seized lands from the feds and restoring the full sovereign rights of the states. The lands and natural resources of the individual states belong to the people of the states, not to the federal government. The federal government is currently greatly exceeding its Constitutional powers in this regard.

Dutch Supreme Court Decision Bodes Well For Geert Wilders

Dutch Freedom Blog has just translated a court decision in the Hague that is relevant to the Geert Wilders case. The Court has cleared a man who publically criticized Islam. Dutch Freedom writes:

In November 2004 [the defendant] had placed a poster before his window with the text: “Stop the Tumour that is Islam”. [I don`t think Wilders ever went that far]. Earlier the same man had been convicted by the District Court and the Court of Appeals in Den Bosch. According to the highest court in the land, there is not sufficient ground for a conviction if someone solely engages in defamation of a religion as such. Whether or not the adherents of a religion feel insulted is irrelevant.

Read the whole thing here.

The key point here is that Wilders didn't defame any religion, he merely told the truth, showing videos of the carnage wrought by Islamic extremists and linking them to key passages in the Qur'an which commands such atrocities.

This does not settle the Geert Wilders case, but it bodes well for him.

PALESTINE: EXPAND THE OCCUPATION NOW!

I get so sick of all the leftwing geckos scurrying about, tongues darting, eyes rolling, repeating the same inane leftist slogans over and over. One of them is "End the Occupation!" They are referring to Israel existing in its traditional homeland. They didn't "occupy" anything, they already owned it. Leftists, though, figured out that the civilized and productive society was called "Israel" and the barbarian, savage hordes who strap bombs on children so they can murder lots of strangers are called "Palestinians." Needless to say the Left immediately went ga-ga over the Palestinians and began denouncing Jews.

Hey, no brainer there. Any self-respecting leftist knows who to side with, the ones who murder strangers....and genitally mutilate women, hang gays, stone fornicators, dismember petty thieves, and generally engage in anti-social behavior. So the libs shout "End the Occupation!" which means, "we want more Muslim terrorists and bomb-throwing psychopaths in headscarfs and fewer Nobel Prize winning physicists, surgeons, economists, inventors, capitalists and various other assorted geniuses!"

Libbies know what their values are: in a choice between god-awful and swell, choose god-awful. I have no doubt that if offered a choice between dog barf and ice cream, most liberals would choose dog barf. They are just programmed that way, i.e. to self-destruct. They don't even need to strap on any explosive vests. They have something much more dangerous, i.e. their political philosophy.

When countering leftist thought, I think we have to think outside the box here. Obviously, what the Middle East needs desperately is more Jews, not less, and a lot more Israel and a lot less Iran and Syria. All of those mosques would make nice synagogues with a little remodeling and delousing. Remove the quarter moons (they should be reserved for the doors of outhouses anyway) and replace them with menorahs and hang out a sign that says "Under New Management."

Clearly, we must insist on expanding the occupation, not ending it. Because expanding the Jewish occupation of the Middle East is to expand modernity, reason, enlightenment, progress, tolerance and prosperity. What's not to like, unless you're allergic to bagels?

So here's the plan: we must have massive demonstrations across Europe and the USA, carrying signs that boldly demand EXPAND THE OCCUPATION NOW! Muslims OUT of Iran and Syria. (Muslims in other places will be considered on a case-by-case basis.) Since lefties like to wear those ugly Muslim scarfs ("keffiyehs" or something equally unpronounceable), we must all wear black fedoras and yarmalukes while demonstrating. Skull caps will be an acceptable alternative to fedoras. Beards are optional.
