Halt! One Way Traffic Ahead...
Indonesian Christians’ Plight Escalates!
 |
| Tolerant Islam? I don't think so! |
Bags of urine hurled by a mob of 600 Muslims at Christians attempting to attend a church service is the latest in a series of disgusting acts of degradation and violence perpetrated by Indonesia’s growing Islamist movement. The Muslim mob was led by members of Indonesia’s Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), a militant Islamist group that has been directly involved in 34 of the 54 documented acts of violence and destruction against Christians and Church property since 2012. In an increasingly violent campaign launched against Indonesia’s religious minorities, the 30,000-strong FPI spearheads a growing cadre of militant Islamist groups whose ranks include the Islamic Defenders Legion (LPI), an FPI affiliate; the Indonesian Mujahideen Council (MMI); and Kokam, the youth wing of Muhammadiyah.
It should be noted that the “church” at which the HKBP congregants were headed to pray when attacked is in actuality an empty parking lot; a venue of worship necessitated by the local Bekasi government’s refusal since 2009 to allow HKBP members to build and occupy an actual church.(C) Frank Crimi (Photo:Copyright Control)
Can you imagine the outcry from Muslims if we in the west refused them permission to build a mosque?
Friday's Song Pic #7
Featured track sung by Eddi Reader: Ae Fond Kiss (written by Robert Burns).
Eddi Reader MBE (born Sadenia Reader; 29 August 1959) is a Scottish singer/songwriter, known both for her work with Fairground Attraction and for an enduring solo career. She is the recipient of three BRIT Awards and has topped both the album and singles charts. In 2003 she showcased the works of Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns (25 January 1759 – 21 July 1796) also known as Rabbie Burns. Scotland's favourite son, he's simply The Bard. A poet and a lyricist who died when only 37 years old, Burns is regarded as a pioneer of the Romantic movement and a cultural icon in Scotland and among the Scottish Diaspora around the world. Robert Burns is probably best known to the international community for Auld Lang Syne ; reputedly the second best known work in the world, after *Happy Birthday.
An example of Burns' musical influence on US singer/songwriters is, among others: Lou Reed and Pattie Smith, both of whom have headlined in the annual Burns Festival, each performing only Burns' material.
His literary influence in the U.S. is seen in the choice by novelist John Steinbeck for the title of his 1937 novel, Of Mice and Men, taken from a line in the second-to-last stanza of the Burns poem, To A Mouse. "The best laid schemes o' mice an' men /Gang aft agley." Burns' influence on American vernacular poets such as James Whitcomb Riley and Frank Lebby Stanton has been acknowledged by their biographers.When asked for the source of his greatest creative inspiration, singer/songwriter Bob Dylan selected Burns's 1794 song A Red, Red Rose, as the lyric that had the biggest effect on his life.The author J. D. Salinger used protagonist Holden Caulfield's misinterpretation of Burns' poem Comin' Through the Rye as his title and a main interpretation of Holden's grasping to his childhood in his 1951 novel The Catcher in the Rye. The poem, actually about a rendezvous, is thought by Holden to be about saving people from falling out of childhood.
The Burns Museum containing over 5000 documents was opened recently and you can go to the link below to see a short video. (Wikipedia) (Video/Logo: Copyright Control)

Gay Marriage? WHAT'd YOU SAY!
Invalidating a federal statute is an unwelcome responsibility for federal judges; the elected Congress speaks for the entire nation, its judgment and good faith being entitled to utmost respect. But a lower federal court such as ours must follow its best understanding of governing precedent, knowing that in large matters the Supreme Court will correct mis-readings (and even if it approves the result will formulate its own explanation). In reaching our judgment...(bostonglobe)
Blah, blah and double blah. Why's the US so obsessed with the gay marriage thing? Gay folks in western Europe get married, can leave the other half their pension when they pop their clogs and have the same legal status as us hetros. Jez...just move on! Zillions of words about the subject while it's 30 on how Islam is silently shafting you. Wake up and get friggin' prioritising! You're 5 trillion dollars more in debt since you-know-who won a 4 year gig at the White House; your infrastructure is worse than Mumbi, India and China's lickin' yer bollocks as a prelude to biting them off.
Button rubbers and two blokes kissin' are really not so fuckin' important!

Oh You Are A Very Naughty Professor!
Professor files freedom of speech lawsuit.
 |
| The Naughty Professor. |
The flap unfolded late last year, when Professor Eisenstein posted a photo of the aftermath of a massacre of Nigerian Christians, purportedly carried out by African Muslims, on his Facebook page.
"Where are the ‘moderate' Muslims' reaction to this? Oh, I forgot they are still looking at the earth as flat ...,” Eisenstein wrote above the post. Eisenstein said his freedom-of-speech suit is the result of the university’s investigation into his comments about Muslims - even though the probe ostensibly cleared him. (actforamerica.com)
Its funny how sensitive the followers of that deranged messenger from the desert of desolation, are: It's so OK that they can have programs on their TV and other media calling for the annihilation of Israel, death of all Jews, infidels...actually anyone who doesn't adhere to, or criticizes the ways of their cult. For Islam is just that; a 7th century Satanic death cult for a fascist mentality, masquerading as a religion.

Iran: Still Mouthing Off...
Iran threatens Western military intervention in Syria would ‘bury’ Israel!
A western military intervention in Syria would result in a regional upheaval that would engulf Israel, a senior Iranian official said on Wednesday. (bicom.org)
Iran is like some drunk, mouthy git in a pub whose getting very annoying. One good punch and the tosser is kissing the floor. And anyway... why are the diplomatic nuke negotiation flunkies still yakking on with the lying, devious, Islamofascist toss-pots? What don't our so called leaders of the "free world" not understand about their Nazi mentality? Just when we need a Churchill, we've got the fucking Girl Guides!
Just give them til next Tuesday to comply with everything that is necessary; failing that deadline, level their nuke mountain using any necessary means. (Photo: Copyright Control)
