Re: Public, be warned
Date: 10 July 2004

Sir – The Home Secretary’s reminder of dangers posed by far-Right, fundamentalist evangelicals comes not a moment too soon (News, July 8 ). No one is more qualified to disclose details of terrorist activities being waged by this group.

If his warning is correct, the public needs to maintain constant vigilance. But, perhaps he can answer the following concerning this group:

1. Who are its ringleaders?

2. In which of its churches have weapons/explosives been found?

3. Has it ever been engaged in suicide bombings?

4. Has it ever conducted motorcycle pillion killer operations?

5. Has it ever practised hostage-taking and/or beheading?

6. Does it seek to impose an extremist Christian equivalent to sharia law?

7. Has it declared a programme for world domination to be achieved by force?

8. Which of its members has ever approved of such activities?

I await the Home Secretary’s answer with interest.

Update: Jenny McCartney puts the entire row about the liberal and moderate cleric into perspective, as does Will Cummins. While you are there take a gander at the letters page, there are some quite interesting ones about Islam and terrorism. Including a rather interesting (and accurate) one on the real “inventors” of terrorism.

Update II: Even Peter Tachell and his mob have gotten in on the act of protesting this vile cleric.

The BBCs current bizarre Leftists passivism is neither new nor uncharacteristic. Britons near defeat and subsequent US rescue in WW2 was not, as is generally accepted, the result of Nazi cunning or superiority, but British cowardice and ignorance, significantly brought on by 9 years of BBC misinformation.

Both pre-war Prime Ministers Baldwin and Chamberlain, required BBC under-emphasis of the Nazi threat, to the point where Churchill was virtually banned from broadcasting. Again today, Right wing academics, writers and leaders often find their way into BBC studios blocked by a long line of Leftists, Al Quaeda sympathisers and apologists.

In 1930s America audiences openly debated the coming war on local and national radio, while British audiences were kept firmly in the dark. Similarly, today Talk Radio hosts put the Rights point of view across America, while the BBC sticks resolutely to anti-Americanism and collaberative prinicples.

The ability for the BBC to see cowardice in the face of danger, today, derives from its almost exclusively middle/upper class, Left wing makeup, e.g. BBC vacancies are only advertised in 2 left wing newspapers.

The British public continues to trust the same monopoly broadcaster which almost lead it into the jaws of disarmament and defeat in 1939, leaving those on the Right to rant, rave and swear oaths of bitter recrimination, much as Churchill did for much of the 1930s.

Watching Arab Media Watch

No points for guessing which independent news organisation supplied the patron for Arab Media Watch http://www.arabmediawatch.com/, none other than the BBC Middle East Correspondent Tim Llwewlyn.

Arab Media Watch, is a front for anti-Semitic, anti-Israeli, Islamist propaganda, under the guise of Promoting objective coverage of Arab issues.

A sold out crowd attended the London conference under the banner ‘Is criticizing Israel anti-Semitic’. True to Middle East dictatorial tradition, all panel guests were of one opinion, no dissenting voices graced this event, no surprises there then.

An audience of mostly immigrant Moslems (who love Islam but chose to live in a Christian country), and useful-idiot Lefties piously clutching their Guardian newspapers, meant the chances of a thrilling debate were not encouraging.

Dr Karmis call for the academic boycott of Israel struck a chord with the congregation, her dismay at the boycotts opposition was expressed with exasperation and outrage. Strangling the one area of the Middle East producing more scientific and medical research than the other 98% put together apparently makes sense.

Whether patients should boycott Israeli medicine was not made clear. I suggest hospitals give Cancer sufferers a choice; death or Jewish science.

Eminent Oxford academic Dr. Brian Klug claiming (with justification reminiscent of certain Nuremberg rallies) no connection between anti-Semitism and the popular Friday evening pastime of chanting ‘Death to Israel, death to the Jews’ was as much as this attendee could take. I exited early, in urgent search of a strong drink.

Rest assured, there is no connection between the desire to destroy Israel and kill Jews, and anti-Semitism.

Clinton’s interview on the BBC was reverential (did I spell that right) was this a politician caught lying, or a demi-god giving audience. It was hard to tell.

Why do the BBC and other networks keep referring to Iraq as a bloodbath didnt Saddam slaughter his fellow Iraqis by the hundreds of thousands? Perhaps this has been conveniently air-brushed out of history.

The problem arises, I fear, from the BBC’s almost total reliance on White, upper-class, university educated, Liberals on whom to spend its guaranteed annual 3 billion budget.

For the privileged upper classes of Britain, who have attended private schools, eat the best food, live in the safest all-White suburbs and work in an ultra-cloistered environment, it must be hard, damn near impossible to comprehend life outside their Liberal cloister.
Remeber this is an organisation which only hires staff out of one, anti-American Left wing newspaper, the Guardian.

Today’s Radio 4 discussion featured a Arab praising the invasion as ‘The most moral war’ while upper class, White Liberal reporter, Kate Adie attacked it with venom. For the Arab it meant freedom, for Kate, Liberal humiliation and victory to the Left’s mortal and most hated enemy American Republicanism.

The Arab spoke with heartbreaking emotion of the slaughter and misery under Saddam, and an over-stuffed liberal declared it wasn’t worth it.

It could have been a Monty Python sketch. No you silly little Arab Kate declared, we chaps can have democracy, but as for you darkies, youll just have to wait. Now run allong and no more talk of freedom, you cheeky little imp’.

Mr Bergs been doing the UK rounds, blaming W for his sons demise.

Berg Sr. was apparently shocked to learn that a Jewish kid might be in danger, wandering around a war zone where Islama-zoids roam the streets on the hunt to bag a Kaffir to mount in the living room. Who knew. Wasn’t mentioned in the travel brochure.

Of course its all ol Georges fault. The President should take time off from running the free world to visit E Coast Synagogues warning folk about Iraq, May contain Islamist nuts.

Bergs even attempting to cash in on the opening of the hairy sleezeball’s new movie. Too bad he wasnt so pro-active before his son went off on an Iraqi get rich scheme.

I’m trying to imagine the departing conversation. “Hey dad I’m off to get rich in war-torn Iraq”. “Good luck son. Don’t worry, if anything happens, I’ll blame the President. Bring me a carpet and some pistachios.”

Berg jr. was looking to profit form war, hardly new. Id go myself for some quick cash, but then if my head went under the holly jihad chopper, itd be my damn stupid fault. What would my long suffering father say, I imagine something like The idiot shouldnt have gone there in the first place!.

Lack of common sense is obviously a hereditary trait in the Berg family.

The Carnival is up for the week.

It seems its illegal to eat your ballot in Canada. This piece of odd electoral comes via Bonehead of the Day.

Federal officials in Canada have announced that it has become necessary for them to point out that it is illegal for Canadian
citizens to eat their ballots while at voting places.
