There has been a remarkable convergence of expressions of Islamic piety across the world today.

First in Israel, a Muslim kills a Jewish teenager with a pickax:

A pickax-wielding Palestinian terrorist… infiltrated the Jewish community of Bat Ayin in Etzion Bloc region near Bethlehem and murdered Shlomo Nativ, a 13-year-old Israeli boy, splitting his skull with a pickax.A terrorist group calling itself the Martyrs of Imad Mughniyeh, named for the Hezbollah terror mastermind who was killed last year, claimed responsibility for the attacks in an e-mail to The Associated Press. The same e-mail also said the terror group Islamic Jihad also was involved.

Then in Egypt, we have Muslim villagers going on a pogrom of Bahai religious group because one Muslim described that a particular village was “full of Bahais”.

Egyptian villagers have set fire to Bahai homes after a member of the religion said on television the village was “full of Bahais,”… The villagers also threatened the village’s roughly 30 Bahais with death, the official said, after which all of them fled. The arson attacks were the culmination of unrest that began with stone throwing immediately after a Bahai named Ahmed called a television talk show that was discussing the religious minority…

Reading this AFP report one gets the impression that those darn Bahai are indeed at fault, not to mention the Copts whose churches get burned down on regular basis just like the Serbs in Kosovo.

Not to be outdone, though, the Swat Valley Muslims in Pakistan released a video of a woman being beaten publicly while two other Muslim men held her to the ground. From Associated Press:

The two minute video shows a woman in a body-covering burqa face down on the ground with two men holding her arms and feet. A third man in a black turban with a long beard whips her backside repeatedly, causing her to scream repeatedly and shout “Stop it, stop it! It is painful!”

A crowd of men watches silently in the background, and a voice can be heard saying “hold her hands tightly.”

Meanwhile, the recently indicted Sudanese President was greeted by thousands “of chanting, singing people” as he made his way at the 22-member Arab League meeting. A deserving welcome for the modern-day Saladin who conquered Sudan for Islam - never mind that he is indicted for genocide.

… and then we have Netherlands badgering Serbia because some loose general by the name of Mladic inflicted the first defeat to the Jihadist forces in Europe.

Of course Serbia is to be badgered not just by Netherlands but by England who is already seeking ways to Islamize their armed forces. From the London Guardian:

The defense minister, Bob Ainsworth, has appealed to British Muslims to joined the armed forces, saying that it was “vitally important that our army, navy and air force are reflective of the hugely diverse society in which we live”.

It is just mesmerizing what is it that the Brits are Guarding after all.

Islam Islam

Islam’s latest global swipe on liberty, peculiarly enough, starts from Serbia where the western media has been telling us, despite the evidence, that Muslims do not exhibit militancy but tolerance.

To the delusions in the Western media, particularly UKs, the ‘I told you so’ moment came yesterday when a Serbian book publisher Aleksandar Jasic pulled a book after the official Islamic Community in Serbia attacked Sherry Jones’ novel The Jewel of Medina set to go on sale this week.

Jasic apologized but the chief Imam in Serbia went public pretending to be the sage of a human soul and said that the apology is not enough and that he needs to “sincerely repent”.

Similar calls for sincerity in atonement were also heard in Denmark or Holland in prior cases where authors of books and artwork did not repent sufficiently enough in the eyes of the Muslims who beheaded them.

Of course, Imam Zukorlic of Serbia never read Jones’ novel and some more sane do understand that the Imam is just part of the world-wide Islamic mob mentality, the Umma, that has one of the lowest number of books published per head.

To compensate for their own bliss of stupidity, wealthy Muslims buy the intellectual allegiance to Islam by funding “scholars” in western universities that are in the perennial shortage of money. Several Muslims from Serbia are on faculty boards of some of those purchases.

So may be the case of the University of Texas in Austin associate professor of Islamic history Denise Spellberg who started this latest Islamic mob attack after she read Jones’ advanced copy, phoned her influential Islamic blogger and her friend, Shahed Amanullah, frantically alerting him that the book has “made fun of Muslims and their history”.

Amanullah then sent an email to a listserv of Middle East and Islamic studies graduate student saying that he knows nothing about this book but a trusted source, who cares for Islam, told him that it was offensive.

The triumph of the ignorant comes after another blogger, Shahid Pradhan, who also hasn’t read the book, posts a headline on a Shiite website: “upcoming book, ‘Jewel of Medina’: A new attempt to slander the Prophet of Islam” to which, two and a half hours later, another Muslim by name of Ali Hemani responds with a 7-point plan on a strategy to ensure “the writer withdraws this book from the stores and apologize all the muslims across the world”, a plan that an Imam in Serbia is now executing.

So what are all these Muslims upset about?

Jones’ attempt to write historical novel about Aisha, wife of the prophet Mohammed, is described by Spellberg as a book that plays “with a sacred history and turn[s] it into soft core pornography”.

For her part, Jones says that she is devastated adding “I wanted to honor Aisha and all the wives of Mohammed by giving voice to them, remarkable women whose crucial roles in the shaping of Islam have so often been ignored - silenced - by historians.”

Consider the passage that honors Aisha’s consummation of marriage to the 40-something Mohammed:

the pain of consummation soon melted away. Mohammed was so gentle. I hardly felt the scorpion’s sting. To be in his arms, skin to skin, was the bliss I had longed for all my life.

It may be “soft core pornography” as Spellberg says only until one realizes that Aisha novelized here was only 9 years old!

How many 9 year olds, including Jones, fantasize about “scorpion’s sting” by a 40 year old murderer?

Is child-rape really the “sacred history” of Islam?

Then again, a book that may answer this curiosity will, in all likelihood, get pulled off the shelf just like this Jones’ glorification of pedophilia.

Nezim Halilovic Muderris, Chief Imam of the Bosnian King Fahd Mosque in Sarajevo says that Jews are genociders and is calling on Bosnian Muslims not to buy Jewish products.

“Brothers and sisters in Islam, today… in a day in which as in all other days in the last 59 years a monstrous genocide is committed against Palestinians by the Jews,” says Muderris in his Hutba or wisdom for the faithful.

“While Muslims in Palestine are dying, Muslims buy and smoke expensive Jewish cigarettes, drink Jewish coffee and consume Jewish food, and in each Jewish product there is a percent that finances killing of Palestinians,” says Muderris.

…far from taking any delight in recent British misfortunes with their own Muslims!

Islamic extremists have created “no-go” areas across Britain where it is too dangerous for non-Muslims to enter, report UK media, the same ones that deplore Serbs for their reluctance to stroll down Kosovo streets whirling with Muslims that want to kill them because, tell us these enlightened Brits, “Serbs are masters of self-pity”.

It is indeed regrettable that Brits refuse to integrate themselves with their domiciled Muslims in the way that they are forcing Kosovo Serbs to do so.

Relative of the slain Wahhabi leader in Serbia has issued a threat that he will kill the chief Mufti in Serbia Muamer Zukorlic on the Islamic New Year day which is on January 10, 2008.

The person who is issuing these threats claims to be a relative of Ismail Prentic, a leader of an armed Wahhabi Muslim group who was killed in 2007 during a shootout with the Serbian police. Prentic’s brother is hiding among Kosovo Albanian Wahhabis.

This “relative” has phoned two Imams whom he told that he will kill Zukorlic with a sniper or a bomb because the Imam is “the greatest threat to Islam.”

Islam

Muslim Council of Britain plans to end its boycott of a the Holocaust Memorial Day for “the sake of the common good” despite that the observance, their statement said, does not commemorate fictitious victims of genocide such as the one that never happened in Bosnia.

However, the real reason for the change of heart on this issues by the UK Muslims is to mask Islam’s hatred of Jews which is Islam’s core spiritual doctrine found even in the Islamic eschatology on end times.

“The last hour would not come,” Islamic prophet Mohammed told his pious flock “unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.”

No wonder that Muslims seem to have mistaken Hitler for a Mahdi!

Meanwhile…

While re-reading passages of Adam Smith’s Wealth of Nations, it occurred to me that this Scottish genius is the product of Oxford University in the UK, the same one over which this Bosnian Muslim with a Ph.D. grieves because the Islamic defeat at Poitiers in 732 precludes this University from examining the “truths of the Islamic doctrine”.

Deprived should we all be by the “infidel” alumni of Oxford.

Indeed we should because…

According to the Physics World magazine, “today Islam is actually holding back scientific progress by placing too great an emphasis on studying and interpreting the pages of the Koran”.

Blissful indeed are the ignorant contemplating beheadings for theirs will be the kingdom of Allah!

Speaking at a Sarajevo University of Islamic Studies German Ambassador to Bosnia, Michael Schmunk, says that Bosnian Islam is a good export product.

“Islam that you have here is a great product for export and we will gladly take it. Not only do we wish to import it but there is a large demand for this kind of a product,” says Schmuk.

The meeting at which Schmuk spoke dealt with state sponsorship of doctrines Islamic preachers, known as Imams.

Some policymakers in EU hope that by controlling what Imams learn, they’d be able to control what Muslims believe.

Two Bosnian Muslim brothers who belong to the growing Wahhabi movement in Bosnia have killed another Bosnian Muslim, Hrustin Suljic, who supported Serb-Muslim reconciliation.

Asim and Serif Huskic killed Suljic in Gornji Rankovic, a village near Doboj where Serb Republic has allowed Muslim return and, apparently among the returnees are violent Wahhabis.

The Bosnian Wahhabi brothers have been arrested and police says they were behind other violent plots in the region and had plans for several others. Police did not disclose what those plans might have been.

OK, so we have a Croatian Nazi rocker Thompson coming to North America, and sadly, as Byzantine Sacred Art Blog and Julia Gorin point, allowing Balkan’s Nazis and Jihadists looks like, at least from the perspective of immigration authorities, a good thing for America.

This summer, however, another Jihadist took a tour of the American land of the “infidel” and preached Islam to his loving Bosnian Muslim flock… and much of his tour went under the radar.

In an interview for a Bosnian Muslim extremist web site Bosnjaci.net, Hafiz Sulejman Bugari explains that during his tour of North America this summer he “felt Islamic and Bosnian pride” even though Bugari is an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo. Bugari was sent on a mission from the leader of the Bosnian Muslims, Chief Mufti Mustafa Ceric.

“Remember,” says Bugari in the interview while reminiscing what he said to his believing Bosnian Muslim flock of North America “all technology and every science has been taken out of Quran. Exactly all…”

Then a question: “Someone might says that 1428 years ago noone knew that there will be Internet…”

Bugari: “But man, our Ulema knew everything, and even the old Bosnian Ulema was saying, that a time will come when people will talks through a box which will be carried in a hand.”

…and here’s more Islamic science from Imam Bugari at his masque in Sarajevo Bosnia:

“Americans rule the world, and so do the Jews. With the Americans’ help, they have again outsmarted the entire world, especially the economy. We consume American-Jewish products every day. We drink their ‘Coca-Cola’ and  their ‘Pepsi’, we use their banks, buy their weapons, their ‘Nikes’ and various other products. Imagine how many ‘cokes’ a billion and a half Muslims drink every day. According to some data, 700 million ‘Coca-Colas’ every day, and you know well that 10 percent of every ‘Coca-Cola’ goes to Israel”.

One of Bugari’s typical sermons in Sarajevo then concludes:

“By purifying the heart of all idols, and then, if necessary, by the jihad. And jihad was necessary and will be necessary! Don’t think that we can survive in any other way, except by these three things: faith, economics and responding to Allah when the time for jihad comes.”

Egyptian cleric, Yusuf El-Badry, landed a victory for Islam when he recently won a court case in Egypt that reinstated female circumcision on grounds that it is in the religious doctrine of Islam.

“The decision to criminalize circumcision means criminalizing something from Islam,” El-Badry bellowed in court. “This is a disaster.”

Female circumcision comes in 3 general forms: Clitoridectomy, or removal of the clitoris; Excision or clitoridectomy plus removal of the labia minora, the inner lips of the vulva; and Infibulation or removal of everything and leaving a hole between female legs.

El-Badry got involved in a case when a 14 year old girl died during one of these traditional Islamic procedures. The mother of the dead girl paid $9 so her daughter could have her vagina mutilated.

According to an Islamic Hadith, or a holy tradition of Islam, Prophet Muhammad said to a woman being circumcised in Medina “Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.”

Islam

Mehmed Djudjic, one of the Bosnian Muslim conspirators in the attempted bombing on the US Embassy in Vienna, confirm Bosnia Muslim papers, is indeed a member of a Wahabbi sect led by a Bosnian Muslim Imam Muhamed Porca who preaches from a house located in Vienna on the Murlingenstrasse 61 street in the 12th Vienna district.

Members of this particular Vienna Wahabbi cell are explicitly told by their leader not to give interviews to the media and when Djudjic’s wife, Anela, was contacted by phone to comment on the case, she refused.

However, a rat from that cell has emerged who says that Djudjic was indeed the mastermind in the attempted attack on the Embassy because the Bosnian Muslim who walked into the Embassy carrying explosives, Asim Cejvanovic, did that after approaching Djudjic for some money.

The anonymous Bosnian Muslim says that Cejvanovic was in need of 200 Euros and when he approached Djudjic, he was given a Wahabbi text titled “Anointing in Islam” found in the rucksack along with the bombs.

“Then Cejvanovic came to Djudjic and told him that he cannot be at peace and that he needs 200 Euros,” says the anonymous tipster.

“Djudjic then told him that he has no money and gave him the book telling him to read it and the faith will calm him. He then went with the bombs to the Embassy,” says the anonymous.

Cejvanovic says that it is Djudjic who told him to go to the Embassy but, according to some Austrian news sources, his real motive was not to blow up the Embassy but in order to offer a deal to the CIA in which he will rat on his fellow Muslim who sells Islamic bombing paraphernalia in exchange for money.

The leader of the Vienna Wahabbis, Muhamed Porca, is one in the informal group of Bosnian Muslim extremist Imams who are a vital part in the worldwide Islamic terror network.

Muhamed Porca memorized the Qur’an during boyhood and got a degree from the Islamic University of Medina, Saudi Arabia.

Muhamed Porca, Senad Podojko, Jusuf Barcic, Sabahudin Albani, Safet Durguti and Sulejman Bugari are led by Adnan Buzar, an imam married to a Palestinian woman Badiya Khal’il, daughter of the notorious terrorist Abu Nidal.

Nidal’s wife, Hiaem Al Bitar, was the chief handler of Nidal’s terror money and only 2 years before Buzar married Badiya, Austrian authorities froze an $18 million account that had Badiya listed on it as the account owner. Incidentally, it was Carla Del Ponte that “unfroze” the money and allowed a withdrawal of $8 million.

It is also interesting to note an ethnic Albanian connection to this group. Sabahudin Albani, Safet Durguti and Sulejman Bugari are all ethnic Albanians.

Sabahudin Albani is a Muslim Albanian from Macedonia and is known for his unquestionable support of Osama bin Laden. Albani was a volunteer for the Bosnian Muslim army in the 1990s where he got valuable experience in killing Christians, mostly Serbs.

Safet Durguti, an ethnic Albanian from Kosovo village of Orahovac, was an appointed representative of an Islamic terror organization Vazir that was shut down in Bosnia after US discovered it was funneling money for Osama bin Laden’s terror cells.

Sulejman Bugari, who preaches hatred of Jews, Serbs and America from a mosque in Sarajevo is an ethnic Albanian. According to a Belgrade Professor of Islamic studies, Miroljub Jevtic, “Bugari sides with Al-Qaeda by accusing America for holding 6 Algerian Bosnians in Guantanamo. ‘Now they will come and chase the Algerian group to Cuba, then they will chase Imad El-Mis’ri, then they will chase Fiusanin ,’” says Bugari.

More conspicuous Albanian connection with radical Islam is made with Jusuf Barcic who studied Islam in Damascus from Muhammed Nasiruddin bin Nuh Al Albania, an ethnic Albanian who is regarded as one of the highest Wahabbi authorities in the Islamic world. Muhammed Al Albania became a professor of Islam in Damascus only after Saudis intervened on his behalf. Al Albania died in 1999.

Dear reader, the sky is blue but in the interests of objectivity here is an expert who disagrees with that and says that the sky is orange.

Thus is today’s media standard that requires presence of untruth as the necessary condition for an outfit to be considered objective.

Voice of America’s “analysis” which attempts to position itself as a debate of experts on Bosnian Jihadists turns out, after reading it, a forum to lampoon and besmirch an intelligence officer, John Schindler, who dares tell the truth by contraposing on him an alleged expert whose statements demonstrate a vested interest in maximizing the virtues of violent Jihad that, indeed, got its inception among the ranks of Bosnian Muslims.

Tells me Mike Averko:

“The Naval War College’s John Schindler is essentially depicted as a freak for noting the plausible at the Sarajevo breadline and Srebrenica massacres. Note how his opponent gets the last word on him in each instance, with the article’s author putting the final tag on Schindler at the end of the article.”

Indeed so: each paragraph which begins with a proposition, Schindler, and ends with a conclusion, Nelson, that is totally the opposite to truth so that a reader ends with untruth as the description of the Bosnian reality and its role in worldwide violent Jihad.

Equally remarkable is the reporter Judith Latham’s polished ability to pronounce the word Jihad as though it came from the lips of those pious Muslims that beheaded and roasted Serbs across Bosnia then hijacked the planes on 9/11. Audio is available here.

The Serbo-Judeo-Phobia Club mentioned in Julia Gorin’s blog Amanpour’s Jewphobia is no Surprise Coming from a Serbophobe has its source and the source is the same one as the 9/11 terrorists: Saudi Arabia.

In 2002, Muslim World Council (aka Rabita), a proselytizing tool of the Saudi state that has a ponderous influence in the Organization of Islamic Conference, has officially designated Jews and Serbs as enemies of Islam.

“[A]ccording to the Islamic Fiqh Council, there are various forms of terrorism, which include state terrorism, the most conspicuous illustration and the most heinous of which is practiced in Palestine today by the Israelis, and by the Serbs in Bosnia-Herzegovina and Kosovo,” writes Muslim World League Journal in its July 2002 issue.

Both Serbia and Israel did not need this official Islamic designation to realize that an active Islamic conspiracy is seeking to exterminate them because policies practiced on them are nearly identical.

Consider the 2000 Rabita Communiqué that addresses the “Zionists” and Serbs.

On Jews:

“The communiqué called on the Chairman of the Jerusalem Committee, member states of the Organization of the Islamic Conference, and other Islamic and international commissions to take the necessary measures to put pressure on the Zionists to halt the judaization of Jerusalem, prevent the occurrence of any geographical or demographic change, remove all Jewish settlements from the occupied territories…”

On Serbs:

“The communiqué urged OIC member states to exert efforts to help the Muslims in Kosovo to gain their right for self-determination and establish their independent state, and to seek to put pressure on the Serbs to recognize that demand and provide all assistance to the Kosovan Muslims.”

In fact, just yesterday, Muslim “president” in Kosovo went public telling Serbs to give up on Kosovo. “It is important for Belgrade to understand that it is surely easier for them to give up their claim, once and for all,” said Muslim Sejdiu.

The Islamiane Amanpour is then just another in a long procession of useful media idiots that perpetuate a myth that a way for America to get along with the Muslim world is to inflict tangible pain on Jews and Serbs.

Until now, we heard Islamic nonsense that Moses was not a Jew but the first Muslim, that before Jesus Islam was… but recently a Muslim Imam Al-Hajj Talib ‘Abdur-Rashid is telling us that it was the Muslims that discovered America!

“[A]ncient Arabic [Muslim] language maps, Native American tribes with African names and words clearly embedded in their languages, statues, diaries, artifacts, etc. destroy European imperialistic notions of history rooted in White Supremacy… those very same Muslim African explorers… who were already present in the Caribbean and North America, before the bearers of the Cross arrived,” elaborates this enlightened Imam.

The problem is not that this Imam is delusional as most others, but because there is an Islamic movement in New York to make a school where Islamic lies like these can be thought on account of public money.

Stop The Madrassa: Protecting Our Public Schools from Islamist Curricula is the lone voice in need of help attempting to stop the Jihadization of America that seeks to use public funds to indoctrinate future treasonous Muslim “Fifth Column” inside America.

Sophistry as a condition of Islamic logic, a mighty guide for numerous Muslim theological dictates known as fathwas, are again on the display by the Bosnian Muslim Mufti, Mustafa Ceric, who writes in the latest issue of the official newspaper of the Islamic Community, Preporod, that all Muslims that died in the WWII Nazi concentration camp of Jasenovac, all 1500 of them, must be considered Shaheeds, Muslim martyrs in service of Islamic Jihad.

“All Muslims that suffered in the Jasenovac camp during the World War 2 must be considered Shaheeds - martyrs that deserve our respect and Allah’s mercy,” writes Ceric in his latest fatwa.

On the surface, and that is what sophistry is, Ceric’s fatwa is sound until we realize that Bosnian Muslims were the Nazis responsible for rounding up and killing Serbs and Jews during the WWII in the first place and Ceric is, if not directly, but ideologically associated with these Islamic genociders.

WWII Bosnian Muslim Handzar division, attracted hundreds of thousands of Bosnian Muslim volunteers who joined Hitler’s cause in extermination of Serbs and Jews in the Balkans and the 1,500 Muslims that died in Jasenovac represents about 0.1% of slaughtered non-Muslims.

If Ceric was to look for WWII Bosnian Muslim Shaheeds then, he should look for them among the thousands of Bosnian Muslims that died while rounding up Serbs, Jews and those 1,500.

“Those 1,500 that died in Jasenovac,” tells me the source that pointed to this fatwa, “are the Bosnian Muslims that may have refused to take part in the genocide and could have been deported there by Bosnian Muslims themselves.”

Perhaps.

Nevertheless, the logistics for the recruitment of Bosnian Muslim genociders in WWII were provided by Bosnian organization called Young Muslims whose membership includes the first Bosnian Muslim president Izetbegovic and his Islamist posse - Behman, Cengic, Ljevakovic et. al. - Islamic personalities that ran the dominant Muslim Political party, the SDA, to which, according to a report to the UK Ministry of Defence, our benevolent Mufti Mustafa Ceric has been and is loyal to.

Bosnia’s Young Muslims have become a template for spread of such Islamic “youth” associations across the world, including the US and Canada, all claiming, as did the Bosnia’s Young Muslims during WWII, that their purpose is expansion of Da’wa, “charitable” work that considers funding violent Jihad as important as funding the families of the Shaheeds that blow themselves up in Israel, Iraq and elsewhere.

Bosnia, Islam, Jihad

During recent Bosnian Muslim festivities celebrating 600 years of Islam in Bosnia, a “gentle reminder” to Europe was issued by them claiming that “not all of the continent’s Muslims are of immigrant origin.”

Omitted here is the brutal Jihadist barbarity by the invading Muslims that used treachery and beheadings so that their descendants today celebrate presence of Islam in Bosnia.

The story of Islamic conquest of Bosnia is a story of treachery by Muslims who offered oaths of peace and promises of safety to those who surrender to them only to have them all beheaded.

Konstantin Mihailovic, a Serb conscript into Turkish army, recounts the Muslim treachery when dealing with a Christian prince of Bosnia:

“Once I happened into a vault at the court of the Turkish Emperor in which were court treasures… not being able to leave the vault so that they would not see me, [I] hid behind the chest. And they, having arrived… sat one beside the other and began to discuss matters concerning Bosnian king [Stefan Tomasevic].”

“And Machmutbassa said to Ysakbassa: ‘What must we do? What kind of response must we give the Bosnian king?’ Ysakbassa said: ‘None other then this: Let us grant him the truce for fifteen years, and immediately, without delay we will march after them. And otherwise we would not be able to conquer Bosnia, for it is a mountainous land, and besides he will have the Hungarian king for help, and the Croats, and other rulers… Therefore let us grant him the truce so that they can depart on Saturday and we after them on Wednesday, as far as Sitnica near Bosnia.’”

Continues Konstantin:

“And so we marched to Bosnia and came to the land of a Bosnian prince named [Tvrtko] Kovacevic. Not knowing that the Emperor was on the march, he surrendered to the Emperor. Then they cut off his head.”

Having beheaded the first of the Bosnian Christian nobility, Muslim then went to the city of Jajce in search of King Tomas, as Stefan Tomasevic was referred to.

“And thus the poor Bosnian King Tomas, working day and night to raise some troops quickly, came to a fortress called Kljuc, wanting to rest… At this moment the Turks suddenly arrived… not knowing anything about the fact that the King was there until a scoundrel, having fled the fortress for a bribe, told the Turks that the King was in that fortress.”

Konstantin then tells of another Muslim treachery:

“And Machmutbassa, having heard this, besieged the fortress; and the next day he negotiated with the King [to come] down from the fortress, swearing on [Koran]… promising him that nothing would happen to his neck.”

Tomas surrendered and was taken before the Emperor who already occupied the capitol, Jajce.

Continues Konstantin:

“And having taken possessions of the fortress the Emperor ordered the King and the other man beheaded.”

Before invalidating the oath Machmutbassa made, the Emperor had a fatwa drawn up by a Muslim cleric which, in essence, says that promises of a Muslim to an infidel are null and void if that advances the cause of Islam.

Today, a Bosnian Muslim cleric is offering another oath to Europe, the Declaration of European Muslims!

600 years on, more of the Islamic treacherous stench still emanates out of Bosnia.

A sampler piece on the qualitative rigor of an Islamic intellectual discourse came across wires today in which armed Muslims and clerical Muslims are engaging in a public discourse as to whether it is Islamic to kill women or should the captive females, according to the Islamic tradition, be force to become concubines of the captors.

“We may kill one, we may kill two, we may kill one of each (gender), two of each, four of each. Or we may kill all of them at once,” Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi said about the fate of the 23 Koreans taken hostage of which several are women.

Ahmadi claims that he has a Islamic religion to support his decision to kill the women in any particular mix of gender and numbers because Islam believe in “an eye for an eye” and some Muslim women are held in jail in Bagram and Kandahar.

Outraged that an armed pious Muslim would kill women, Afghanistan’s national council of clerics said that the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of Islam, taught that no one has the right to kill women. Instead, Muhammad allowed captive women to become forced concubines for their captors.

So there we have it! Pious Muslims engaged in an rational and intellectual discourse as to whether captive Korean women should be killed or forced into sex slavery.

Islam

In today’s Wall Street Journal, columnist David Wessel cites a study done by a Princeton economist Alan Krueger which debunks the claim that the motivational reason for Islamic terrorism is poverty.

“The evidence is nearly unanimous in rejecting either material deprivation or inadequate education as an important cause of support for terrorism or of participation in terrorist activities,” says Krueger and adds that there “is no evidence of a general tendency for impoverished or uneducated [Muslims] to be more likely to support terrorism or join terrorist organizations than their higher-income, better-educated countrymen”.

In fact, Krueger’s study finds that the more education a Muslim has the more he is likely to support murdering of non-Muslims.

“Public-opinion polls from Jordan, Morocco, Pakistan and Turkey find people [Muslims] with more education are more likely to say suicide attacks against Westerners in Iraq are justified,” explains Wessel of Krueger’s findings.

Krueger hypothesizes that a cause of Islamic terror may be the suppression of civil liberties and political rights.

“When nonviolent means of protest are curtailed,” Krueger says, “malcontents appear to be more likely to turn to terrorist tactics.”

However, in post-Saddam Iraq, Muslims opted for a violent means of “protest” and outright terror despite that the American occupational administration has vastly broadened civil liberties and options for nonviolent protest.

“The West is at the wits-end in its attempts to find moderate Muslims,” recently told me Belgrade professor Miroljub Jevtic, an expert on Islam.

“There may soon have to be a conclusion that even co-existence may not be possible… indeed, a scary possibility that increasingly looks inevitable,” says Jevtic.

In the end, what Krueger’s study does is shift the blame for Islamic terrorism from one wrong reason, poverty, to another incorrect one, lack of civil liberties, forgetting, perhaps deliberately, that both of these incorrect reasons for terror have one thing that is common - Islam.

West is, after all, still searching for “moderate” Muslims.

One of the moral codes Geneva Convention standardized in the aftermath of WWII Nazi medical crimes has been the so-called Hippocratic Oath, a personal pledge by an aspiring medical professional to dedicate his life to humanitarian goals.

“I will maintain the utmost respect for human life,” is the ninth pledge point.

Today, British authorities are holding 8 Muslims involved in a plot to kill vast number of people and 5 of those being held are medical doctors: “Five doctors are now being held in connection with the recent attempted terror attacks,” says SkyNews.

More alarming still is that these Muslim doctors are, in fact, the initiators of this mass-scale attack on human life.

Writes London’s Daily Mail: “The suspected ringleader of the plot is also a doctor, a Jordanian. Neurologist Dr Mohammed Asha, 26, and his burka-wearing wife”.

London Mayor Ken Livingstone, however, fails to see that the action of these Muslim doctors is just a theological version of the Nazi-style notions of superiority, nihilism for a deity in this case, and to the mortal exclusion of all others.

From AFP:

“Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims,” says Livingstone then goes on to blame UK’s foreign policy with respect to Saudi Arabia.

Of course, what Livingstone is attempting to express here is his tolerance for a religion whose doctrine looks at him as a vile and filthy infidel with an astounding level of stupidity that makes him more formidable in bidding the Islamic propaganda than all of the clumsy sophistry of Imams.

Says Hassan Butt, an allegedly former member of Omar Bakri’s UK Jihad group Al-Muhajiroun that also recruited Muslims to fight in Kosovo:

“And as with previous terror attacks, people are again articulating the line that violence carried out by Muslims is all to do with foreign policy… those who pushed [this] line did our propaganda work for us… More important, they also helped to draw away any critical examination from the real engine of our violence: Islamic theology.”

To the surprise of the likes of Livingstone, the source of Islamic theology is drawn from Islam’s “holy book” the Quran.

A back-of-the-envelope statistics on the cognitive imagery Quran incites in a believer should be alarming indeed.

Out of 185,215 words in the version of Quran I examined, negative imageries created by presence of words such as Hell, Punish and Fear occur 0.447% of the time while such negative and frightening imagery occurs only 0.081% of the time in the New Testament.

The most dominant word in Quran is Punish, a stimulative action word that impacts believer’s behavior in the society: word Punish occurs 0.194% of the time in Quran versus 0.005% in the New Testament.

By contrast, the dominant action word in the New Testament is the word Love which appears 0.174% of the time but only 0.042% of the time in the Quran.

Moreover, the word Peace, an attribute many think describes Islam, occurs only 0.041% of the time in the Quran which is less then in the New Testament (0.062%).

In addition, Muslims are more likely to emotionally experience religion as fear then love.

Emotional Cognition of: Quran New Testament as Fear 0.161 0.064 as Love 0.042 0.174

In the aggregate, the positive imagery is nearly as equal as the negative one in the Quran while in the New Testament the positive imagery far outstrips the negative.

One way to numerically measure the relationship between positive and negative imagery is with the imagery quotient matrix that simply divides the percent occurance of positive word attributes with the negative ones.

Table below indicates that the imagery quotient of positive word values against negative word values is barely over 1 in the Quran while in the New Testament is well over 6.

Word Imagery Quotient Quran New Testament Positive (P) 0.4947 0.5123 Negative (N) 0.447 0.081 Imagery Quotient (P/N) 1.107 6.325

The importance of the imagery quotient is that it impacts the quality of person’s cognition about reality and therefore impacts motivations and aspirations of an individual.

Says Allan Paivio, an eminent cognitive psychologist and author of the Dual Coding Theory:

“Cognition is proportional to the extent that mental representations (imagery) and language are integrated.”

Paivio postulates that in order to think and understand, humans must be able to simultaneously generate imagery and corresponding language to describe that imagery. Research from 1970s through 1990s has corroborated Paivio’s cognition postulate.

The rudimentary imagery calculations above suggest that there is a one-for-one reinforcement of positive to negative cognitive imagery in the Islamic theological doctrine as oppose to the New Testament where positive cognitive imagery is 6 times as strong then the negative one.

Cognitive imagery of reality impacts individual’s motivations, aspirations and outcomes and on the aggregate, these similar motivations and aspirations are a powerful element behind social progress as well as social degeneration.

In his recent Wall Street Journal analysis, Alan Dershowitz notes that “After the U.S., Israeli scientists hold more patents than any nation in the world… Israelis have received more Nobel and other international science prizes than all the Arab and Muslim nations combined.”

What Dershowitz is citing as an example of is the outcome of motivations and aspirations society derives from an aggregation of shared individual cognitive imageries of reality.

Not only are the latest London bombers Muslim doctors, but even the aspiring ones are conditioned likewise.

Again describes the Wall Street Journal:

“[T]he postings [on the blog] by the 21-year-old dentistry student in Cairo… about her childhood ambitions, among becoming a doctor, a photographer or an actress, she adds, ‘I dreamed that I was one of the mujahideen in Chechnya or Palestine, and that I was blowing myself up among as many enemies as possible so that I could be like the martyrs.’”

Back in 1940s, George Kennan proposed democracies build a wall of containment around communists that are contaminating liberty. Today, some wonder why has Israel built the wall!

We need to update Kennan… immediately!
