Even as some Muslims blow up in public places, others hold conventions to spread the faith in the lands of the infidels. On December 25, the Islamic Circle of North America gathered in Atlanta for an annual hatefest.

In Toronto, Muslims have gathered for Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS).

Close to 17,000 Muslims came to Metro Toronto’s Convention Centre on Friday – Christmas Day – to learn about their religion and being a Muslim in a modern world.

They heard from Islamic scholars, prayed, visited with family and friends and shopped in a bazaar that offered up a variety of wares, including hand-embroidered shawls, books, T-shirts, hijabs for both women and children, jewellery and hijab pins.

It was all part of a three-day convention “Reviving the Islamic Spirit,” an annual conference with its roots in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attack. It is designed, organizers say, as a way to help young Muslims understand their faith in a North American context.

The promotional video for the event is a sleek quality production.

How things have changed. Toronto the good, as it was mockingly called by the rest of Canada in the 1950s, 60s and 70s, has become a hotbed of anti-Jewish activism, sometimes disguised as opposition to Israeli policies, but usually not. As the city grew from Sunday blue laws to cosmopolitan metropolis, from a white Anglo-Saxon bastion to a multicultural hodgepodge, low level polite Antisemitism morphed into proud Jews-hatred.

Two things have changed over the past thirty years. Lefty ideologies of all shades of pink now dominate the city and the Muslim population has exploded (not literally, yet) from almost none to what feels like 500,000 visible believers. At the intersection of dawah (Islamic missionary work) and far-left (fascist) agitation lies the source of Antisemitism in this age.

Where do the local Antisemites go to promote their hate online? One place is the Globe and Mail, Canada’s newspaper of record. Read more >

In a long expected move, President Obama announced today that he has appointed Geoffry Schlupenflush, founder of ProfitsAreObsene.Org, to the newly created post of Entrepreneurship Czar. In a Rose Garden ceremony, the President declared that the new Czar will monitor business activity across America and ensure that achievement is distributed more equitably.

“America is an innovative country in which entrepreneurs are welcome. We respect the entrepreneurial spirit more than any previous administration. But should a talented few enjoy all the achievement?” asked the President. “How fair is a system that allows a couple of white kids from California to start doodling on napkins in their mother’s kitchen and a few years later end up with assets worth more than $100 billion?” he added.

“This will not happen on my watch,” promised Schlupenflush, vowing to eliminate excessive capital gains as quickly as he can learn what return on investment means. “If you start with nothing you cannot end up with something,” he added.

To preempt future embarrassment, Schlupenflush disclosed that in his youth, growing up in Chicago, he was a community redistribution activist, an occupation that required dexterity with a hidden firearm and a fast getaway vehicle. He met Barry in the hood, but they were not close friends and the future President did not know what Schlupenflush did for a living.

Israeli Soldiers On Guard Against Islamist Terrorists in Gaza

A wide range of Israelis, from Ehud Olmert’s communist wife to terror enabling Professor Neve Gordon, would see this as a cost cutting opportunity. It would eliminate the need to issue guns and ammunition to soldiers. For practice, troops would play hide and seek.

You can’t make this stuff up. In 2008, an Israeli court ruled that IDF soldiers should hide rather than fight when approached by the enemy. The court feared that a violent response by soldiers may increase the risk of bodily harm befalling unsuspecting terrorists. On Thursday, the Supreme Court overruled the lower court’s decision. Two Jewish justices voted for fighting. An Arab justice voted in favor of hiding.

Quiz for Obama: How many Jews sit on the Supreme, or any other, Court of Saudi Arabia? Read more >

Friends,

It has come to my attention that the boycott of the Toronto Film Festival for featuring Tel Aviv has been defeated by people who bought up all the tickets, at least the ones online.  If more tickets are available, be sure to buy them and fill the theaters.

If we can make this the most successful film festival ever, that would be a real victory.

Thanks to all who participated, wrote, voiced an opinion, and bought a ticket. The Toronto Jewish community is great!

How you are handling this should set an example to Jewish communities everywhere on how to behave in such a situation.

As Avigdor Lieberman, Israel’s Foreign Minister recently said, there must be zero tolerance for the haters and disseminators of lies about Israel.  We need to respond firmly and decisively to each and every incident, however small.  It’s time to fight back! Read more >

She was at her best when she and Roger Vadim did threesomes with prostitutes in Paris. It has been all downhill from there. Vietnam, Barbarella, Tom Hayden, Ted Turner and lately Islamist terrorists. Soon she will be broadcasting Antisemitic bile live from Gaza to help kill Jews.

Jane Fonda, of course, is an experienced traitor. In North Vietnam, circa 1972, she gave a rousing speech that, no doubt, contributed to the death of many American soldiers and thousands of Vietnamese.

As I left the United States two weeks ago, Nixon was again telling the American people that he was winding down the war, but in the rubble-strewn streets of Nam Dinh, his words echoed with sinister (words indistinct) of a true killer. And like the young Vietnamese woman I held in my arms clinging to me tightly–and I pressed my cheek against hers–I thought, this is a war against Vietnam perhaps, but the tragedy is America’s.

Friends,

Toronto had a film festival highlighting movies about Tel Aviv.  You’d think a city that pre-dates the Jewish State, one not in the “occupied territories” would not be controversial.  Guess what?  Jane Fonda, Danny Glover and Eve Ensler (that basket case) Naomi Klein, Alice Walker  etc. are protesting, signing a letter which says: “we are deeply disturbed by [TIFF's] decision to host a celebratory spotlight on Tel Aviv,” the letter begins. “We protest that TIFF, whether intentionally or not, has become complicit in the Israeli propaganda machine…we object to the use of such an important international festival in staging a propaganda campaign on behalf of … an apartheid regime.”

And now, the festival’s director, Cameron Bailey, whose good idea it was in the first place to focus on Tel Aviv, has backed down, calling Tel Aviv “contested ground” and vowing: “to learn more about the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.”  Contested by whom?  The Hamas?

Just shows you the inroads of Palestinian hate speak, and the useful idiots involved. Read more >

Without getting into the question of why, it should by now be obvious to anybody paying attention that Obama has bent American foreign policy in a decidedly pro-Islamist direction. The submissive bow to King Abdullah and the humiliating apologies in Cairo would be sufficient evidence. Brutal verbal attacks on the State of Israel and denial of the right of Jews to live in their historic homeland complete the picture. Even traditionally Liberal Jews are getting it now! Barack Hussein Obama empathizes with his late father whose roots are in Muslim Kenya. His extensive Muslim family lives in Kenya, including his father’s second, third and fourth wives and their numerous children. Obama is a Kenyan who by some divine retribution was inflicted on the American people as President of the United States. 

So are the Jews of Israel doomed? Not necessarily! Haaretz, the Palestinian daily published in Hebrew and English, reports it as a bad thing, but apparently the “militant settlers” are both inclined and well positioned to stop the madness. Read carefully and you will notice, between the tears for the orchards of the Arab invaders and the blind faith in the power of CNN (whose ratings have dropped below MSNBC), that there is no chance in hell that Judea will be made judenfri.

Remember when Yasser Arafat died of Aids because he loved the young Jihadis who worked for him? Muslim propagandists were quick to deny the cause of death, even though they all wore gloves in close proximity to the slimy terrorist. Islam, you see, does not allow homosexuality, they said. Under Shariah, sodomy is punishable by instant death. Or is it? Apparently it depends on who is being sodomized and why.

A highly influential Shi’a religious leader, with whom Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad regularly consults, apparently told followers last month that coercion by means of rape, torture and drugs is acceptable against all opponents of the Islamic regime.

Asked if a confession obtained “by applying psychological, emotional and physical pressure” was “valid and considered credible according to Islam,” Mesbah-Yazdi replied: “Getting a confession from any person who is against the Velayat-e Faqih (“Guardianship of the Islamic Jurists”, or the regime of Iran’s mullahs) is permissible under any condition.” The ayatollah gave the identical answer when asked about confessions obtained through drugging the prisoner with opiates or addictive substances.

“Can an interrogator rape the prisoner in order to obtain a confession?” was the follow-up question posed to the Islamic cleric. Read more >

Officer Shahar Mizrachi is the latest victim of the leftist assault on Israel via the court system. Officer Mizrachi is a hero. He should have been awarded a medal for stopping a violent car thief. Instead, a politicized court and a politicized judge are sending him to prison for 15 months. There he will sit among the common criminals, including perhaps some he himself apprehended. They will make his life a living hell.

Mizrachi’s crime?  He did his job!

In July 2006, Officer Mizrachi saw a car thief stealing a car in Pardes Hana. It turns out though that the thief was an Arab from nearby Baqa al-Garbiya, one Mahmoud Ganaim. Officer Mizrachi shot the thief, who died from the wound. The thief, Ganaim, tried to stab Mizrachi with a screwdriver before the cop shot him.

But in post-survivalist Israel the court system seems to believe that Arabs should not be expected to obey the law and Jews should never be permitted to stop them from committing crimes. You may recall the farmer from the Negev, Shai Dromi, who shot at three Bedouin thieves trying to steal his sheep and killed one. He was harassed and indicted by the Attorney General and convicted of manslaughter, although recently cleared on appeal.

Israel’s Attorney General has for decades been a leftist partisan biased judicial activist. Read more >
