Declaring Jihad On "Uncle Tom"

Not only is Barack Husein Obama a difficult man to demonize but Hillary is an important reassurance to Israel. This means that there is the possibility of a solution to the Israeli-Palestine conflict. This is the seed of war in the Middle East. If progress is made jihad will be less important. Barack in the White House will at least confuse the jihadists since he is similar to the young recruits which will cause a cognitive dissonance. There is someone in the great Satan who is similar, and at the head of power.

I think that Obama's election also causes a certain degree of cognitive dissonance here in the United States, in citizens of every color. His election has challenged many viewpoints WORLDWIDE. Hopefully everyone can move past their confusion. Maybe then many can stop at least some of the  lashing out and constant criticism before he has even been sworn into office.

Indeed Ladyblue999. The election of Obama is going to have significant impact on the cultural landscape of America. Very insightful post. This scenario really does change alot of things around the world.

Yep, Hamas Hezbollah and Co are all groups given birth to by countries hostile towards other cultures such as Iran and Syria .

The past 50 years of the history of Libanon is nothing but the rape of a once upon a time well to do country which was infiltrated by Syria and Iran with groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas following the thread of the money ends/begins with Saudi Arabia.

The Clash of civilizations. For the sake of future generations lets hope the Islamic sickos are neutralized. The Islamic cultures with their obsession of conquering questions the religious component in societies. There are 2 choices: Islam wins and the Abrahamic religions turn the globe into a slave self-destructive hellhole as we see in the territories they have conquered or Secularism neutralizes these mentally retarded societies and moves on into higher levels of awareness.

Religion and Monarchies go hand in hand. It is a powerful bond that produced the world we live in. It claims to be godly but Divine it is Not!

Declaring Jihad on Uncle Tom is very smart indeed! The Nature of Uncle Tom is based on the Free Spirits/Rebels/Pirates/Mercenaries of History. Uncle Tom's Country is still the home of the Spiritually Free, the Brave and the Wanderers. If Islam thinks to subdue Uncle Tom, Haha Good Luck, Bring it on.

Switzerland and Austria were never destroyed to the level as we see in Lebanon. The populace did not move out as we see in Lebanon. When murdering hordes (Hezbollah) from Syria moved in most Lebanese moved to other countries.  It is Syria who had, and still has the intention to extend its borders to include Lebanon. Damascus will never give up that idea. While Israel is not going to allow Syria to have its way. Present day Lebanese are second and third generation kids of the Hezbollah...and the fight continues as the original Lebanese are not recognizing the intruders.

It is really sad. Once upon a time, not so long ago, Lebanon used to be called Little Switzerland of the MidEast. 

Here's the cultural background behind Zawahiri's remark concerning Obama. As most know, or should know, Dr. Zawahiri comes from a rather high social background in Egypt. In Egypt, as well as some other Islamic countries of mixed race, there is a caste system of sorts. Anwar Sadat, whose assassination was orchestrated by Dr. Zawahiri while a member of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood, was the son of a light-skinned Arab father and a black Sudanese mother. As a result, he labored his entire life suffering from this prejudice among Egypt's powers that be. This is the proximate reason behind Zawahiri's remark and it probably did even more harm among Muslims of similar complexion than he as yet imagines.

The madrassa in Pakistan is to Al Qaeda what Parris Island, South Carolina is to the United States Marine Corps: where they train their soldiers.

Not precisely. The radical madrassas in Pakistan function primarily to indoctrinate the young in the strictures of Deobandi Islam which is an offshoot of Saudi Wahhabism and while it is true that the worldviews of the two don't differ all that much the actual military training for these recruits occurs primarily at camps scattered throughout the FATAs.

"It would be great if this would result in al Zawahiri and bin Laden having to resort to blowing themselves up"

Those types of terrorist leaders usually manage not to blow themselves up-- rather, they convince their gullible followers to do it (while they themselves manage to scrape by).

I could be wrong, but I think the main effect America's election of a minority president will have is to decrease the influence of terrorist spinmeisters worldwide. And the fact that we elected a black man may well set back the jihadis efforts in Africa-- an area where they have been making a major push.

I know. I should have issued my sarcasm alert. ;-) It's never ceased to amaze me that the radical element has never openly questioned why, if the leadership thinks it is such a darned dandy idea to explode, they don't line up to do it themselves. It's sad that they don't recognize how they are being played for fools.

Funny those are Muslim extremists.  Seems that extremists in any religion are dangerous.

I think that the mainstream portion of most faiths are peaceful. Unfortunately, lunatic, extremist fringes are noisier, giving the impression their point of view is accepted by the majority of their faith. It doesn't help that MSM likes to make a major production of every extreme nut-job occurrence. I swear I believe they do it to encourage divisiveness to provide more headlines.

"If we create a rather secular Saudi Arabia to counteract a dogmatic Iran, I think that the Saudis win the influence game in the long term the same way that the West won against the Warsaw Pact: we drove them broke by outperforming them economically and using that influence to our advantage."

But what makes you think the Saudis would want to become secular? I would imagine that, from their point of view,the best way to counter-act the influence of a (Shiite) Iran is by spreading the Saudi brand of Sunni Islam.

Do you think it would be betteer if they didn't report the news? IMO, much of the mainstream media tends to downplay terrorism (for example, denying that a terrorist act was indeed terrorism)..

for example, denying that a terrorist act was indeed terrorism

Can you give me an example of a specific incident you are referring to just to clarify?

In the art of spin, one tactic is to place more emphasis on a point than what that point actually warrants and neglecting to allow a look at the other side of that point. My example is the Westboro Church hate-mongers. I've repeatedly heard them referred to as Christian Fundamentalists without further clarification that the overwhelming majority of Christians view them, their views and their hateful behavior with total disgust, shock and horror. In neglecting that side of the story and instead focusing on the fact that these jerks call themselves Christians while engaging in this despicable behavior and that the members say that they are acting as the bible commands them to, all Christians get tainted by the newscasts.

The same can be said for reports on Islamic extremism. bin Laden et al claim to be engaging in horrors that are condoned and encouraged by the Quran. Although some reports do mention that most Muslims are people of peace because they interpret the Quran as being a Book that encourages peaceful and kind behavior towards others, often this information is neglected and in the barrage of reports about the atrocities committed by this relatively small percentage of Muslims, the perception of the whole Faith is besmirched.

Brammy:

I've said before that those Westboro Baptist people are the American Taliban. Does that make you more comfortable since it's multi-denominational?

Is this the KKK? LOL!!!  Seems like we also have Christian terrorists (I won't say so-called Christians because they really believe that they are Christians).  What about the Inquisition? I have said it before and will say it again.  ANY religion can be twisted to promote ANY idea when it is taken out of context.

Scott, Saudi Arabia will become a secular Muslim country at approximately the same time as the Minnesota Vikings win the Super Bowl, i.e., never. I would be happy if they simply stopped funding these various @!$%#s around the world.

Well the term in the 70s, the term was 'house "something"' was less politically correct than 'house negro' or 'house slave'.  Uncle Toming was a frequent accusation against those perceived as more successful.

Too true Scott which is why I found it hilarious seeing that the term for them, most UN-pc is 'sand "somethings"'  The closed captioning on the tape FROM Zawahiri was 'house negro'.  Those were not added by the media from what I understand. Maybe he knew better than to use the other?  They have no name for 'negro' or 'something' the closest translation was slave.

The Orange County holy warrior is most likely kaput.
