[Atlas Shrugs] UK government: Muslim Brotherhood membership not proof of extremism, Brotherhood activists free to operate in UK.
The Muslim Brotherhood is just another Muslim liberation movement, thats all, but Robert Spencer and I we are the real trouble.
Well, thats the world view of the British government. The British people should sleep well at night, knowing that their safety and security are in the hands of those who are so well informed and in touch with reality. (/sarc) Lengthy, but very interesting perspectives from our Albion cousins. We here in the U.S. have not yet arrived at a full Muslim Brotherhood endorsement. It's curly toed shoes appear to be sticking out from behind the curtain from time to time however.
MB is all about Political Islam whose goal is to rule the world under Sharia Law.

To me, Muslim membership is proof of extremism until proven otherwise.
For example, one of the many factions in Syria is systematically attacking Christian villages. Sometimes they just burn down the houses and chase the villagers away. Sometimes they burn down the houses and summarily execute the villagers.
From Muslim leaders world wide, there is dead silence. This implies at least assent, if not outright support.
Imagine if you will if Christians attacked and murdered Muslims, burning their houses and churches. I do not see Christian leaders remaining silent. Pope Francis would lead the Catholic Church in condemning the people, even if the perpetrators were themselves Catholic. Yet Muslim leaders insist that Islam is a religion of peace, and they only fight in self defense!
F*cking hypocrites, if you ask me.

[Jihad Watch] The U.S.-backed Free Syrian Army -- those are the "moderates," you know. How moderate? This moderate: in July 2013, Free Syrian Army fighters entered the Christian village of Oum Sharshouh and began burning down houses and terrorizing the population, forcing 250 Christian families to flee the area. Worthy News reported that just two days later, Free Syrian Army rebels "targeted the residents of al-Duwayr/Douar, a Christian village close to the city of Homs and near Syria's border with Lebanon.
Around 350 armed militants forcefully entered the homes of Christian families who were all rounded-up in the main square of the village and then summarily executed." And in September 2013, a day after Secretary of State John Kerry praised the Free Syrian Army as "a real moderate opposition," the FSA took to the Internet to post videos of its attack on the ancient Syrian Christian city of Maaloula, one of the few places where Aramaic, the language of Jesus, is still spoken.
This is just the faction Obama is backing. This is America's shame. "West bankrolls Free Syrian Army fightback," by Tom Coghlan and Norhan Keshik for The Times via The Australian, February 8:
The West and Gulf states are funding a new military offensive by rebel forces around Damascus in an effort to throw the Assad regime on to the back foot before a second round of Syria peace talks.
The assault marks an attempt by the Free Syrian Army and its allies abroad to reassert control after months of rebel infighting.
The timing of the attack, codenamed "Geneva Horan", comes amid fears Bashar al-Assad will give little ground at the negotiating table while he has the upper hand on the battlefield.
FSA forces yesterday posted online videos of rebel tanks, heavy mortars and rocket launchers pounding what were said to be government positions on highways near the town of Athman, north of the city of Daraa, close to the Jordanian border.
The attack involving 18 rebel brigades was accompanied by a fresh influx of money and weaponry channelled through Jordan, where the US has established a training base for the FSA, say rebel field commanders. It includes $57 million in cash to pay the rebels.
Monzer Akbik, a spokesman for the rebel Syrian National Coalition, refused to be drawn into specifics. "There are things that are better not to be announced," he said. "I don't really want to go into the details of funding. We have friends -- our friends in the West and our brothers in the Gulf."...
The FSA has been seen as an increasingly peripheral presence on the battlefield while Gulf powers including Saudi Arabia and Qatar channelled the lion's share of funding and weapons to hardline religious factions such as the Islamic Front. Late last month, the US approved a supply of a big shipment of arms to rebels in Jordan....
Powerful jihadist groups announced their own northern offensive yesterday. The Islamic Front, an alliance of factions that includes the al-Qa'ida-aligned al-Nusra Front, declared the start of "Operation Truthful Promise Approaches" in Aleppo.
yesterday. As we ponder these various reports, it would probably be helpful to remember the old axiom.... "the first casualty of war is truth."

Wrong. I know one of the guys that is deployed to Amman now, and at least for his command, that's not who they are training. Maybe the CIA is giving that nasty group arms and ammo, but not the US military folks I know that are over there.
And FSA is an unfortunate acronym overlap with Obama voters, the Free Shit Army who expect Obama to put gas in their car, give them a phone, and pay their mortgage.

To me, training any Muslim group is training a group that violently targets Christians - or at least a group that will target given Christians when given a chance.

Feminism is not an idea or a collection of ideas but a collection of appetites wriggling queasily together like a bag of snakes. Feminism has nothing to do with the proposition that women should be considered whole and complete members of the body politic, though it has enjoyed great success marketing itself that way.
...A useful definition is this: Feminism is the words I Want! in the mouths of three or more women, provided theyre the right kind of women.
...Feminism began as a simple grievance, mutated into a kind of conspiracy theory (with patriarchy filling in for the Jews/Freemasons/Illuminati/Bohemian Grove/reptilian shape-shifters/the fiendish plot of Dr. Fu Manchu/etc.), spent the 1980s in grad school congealing into a ridiculous jargon, and with the booming economy of the 1990s was once again reinvented, this time as a career path.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
