It is now being reported, in this article, that the Syrian rebels–the same rebels Barack Obama is preparing to defend against Bashar Assad–are actually being trained in terrorist camps by Ansar al-Sharia.
If that name rings a bell in your head, it should. But in case it doesn’t, Ansar al-Sharia is the terrorist organization which is responsible for carrying out the attack in Benghazi which left Chris Stevens, (after being raped and sodomized), Glen Doherty, Sean Smith, and Tyrone Woods dead.
You will not read a more vital—or more disturbing, or even funnier—book all year than ISLAMOPHILIA
Columnist and broadcaster Douglas Murray, with trademark wit, delivers an alarming analysis behind the events of the past week in the UK, as the country tries to make sense of the barbaric slaughter of British soldier Lee Rigby on the streets of London. In a devastating satire on the climate of fear in the UK today, Murray’s analysis is wildly entertaining yet ultimately profound:
“If absolutely everybody in the world agrees on something – from the President of the United States to most film-stars, pop-stars, Popes, Bishops, atheists, writers, film-makers, brain-boxes and everyone else – then surely they must be right. Well, no. I think they are wrong. Wildly, terribly, embarrassingly and dangerously wrong, “ writes Murray.
ISLAMOPHILIA shows how so many of the celebrities above, have, at some point chosen to abandon any hope or wish to criticize Islam and instead decided to profess some degree of love for it. Love, that Murray points out in the book, is often irrational and certainly misguided: Murray is not afraid to name and shame, and the book’s tour includes novelists Sebastian Faulks and Martin Amis, Boris Johnson, South Park, Tony Blair, Ridley Scott, David Cameron, Liam Neeson, Justin Bieber, Random House Publishers, the BBC, Richard Dawkins, the Prince of Wales and even George Bush. Yes, George Bush.
“They may have done this for a range of good and bad reasons. Some of them have to done it to save other people. Some of them have done it to save themselves. Some of them have done it because they are too stupid to do anything else and others because clever people can be really dumb at times.”
Murray then goes to detail the extraordinary strategic cultural efforts made in recent years to “rewrite the last few millennia of history, minimising and denigrating the impact of actual scientists and promoting the claims of Islamic proselytisers” and he has fighting words for the version of history depicted by Ridley Scott and others in Hollywood.
Artists and writers have been caught off-guard, he alleges, “Having poked at empty hornets nests for so many years they have forgotten the courage required to do the necessary poking at full ones.”
He concludes, “Let’s be clear. For the record I don’t think everybody needs to spend their time being offensive about Islam. Not only is there no need to be offensive all the time, but most Muslims just want to get on with their lives as peacefully and successfully as everybody else. But there is an un-evenness in our societies that needs to be righted…to think that to think that the answer to any criticism of Islam or Muslims is a delegitimizing of critics and an indulgence in self-pity is not to make an advance. It is to pave the way for self-harm. For all of us.
Where people are telling lies about it we should not be fearful to correct them. And where people are fearful – and genuine reasons to be so do keep coming along – people should remind themselves of something. Which is that just as bravery in one person instils bravery in others, so cowardice in one person has a tendency to be catching.”
ISLAMOPHILIA – bravery is catching. Pass it on.

The surprising truth about Rage Boy, America’s hated poster-boy of Islamic radicalism
By PATRICK FRENCH | Last updated at 14:04 11 November 2007
Don’t you hate Islamic Rage Boy? ‘MoBlows’, writing on the Jihad Watch website, certainly does.
“I just want to put my fist down his throat,” he says. The ‘boy’ in question rose to prominence earlier this year when he was photographed at a demonstration in Srinagar, capital of Indian-administered Kashmir.
Later, he was spotted waving his fist at another camera during a protest against the awarding of a knighthood to author Salman Rushdie.
With his straggly beard and big shouting mouth, Rage Boy certainly looks like a threat.
His scary face now appears on boxer shorts and bumper stickers, and he scores more than a million results on Google.
Crazed: But the poster boy of Islamic radicalism has a very different story…
Hezbollah’s Deputy Director General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, says Europe will be harmed by the lies it spreads about Hezbollah, whose two wings are intertwined and cannot be separated. He says Hezbollah knows exactly how to respond to Europe’s provocation, and will do so at a time and in a place it chooses.
Europe, in denial, afraid to face the truth about the Islamist threat, has taken the coward’s way out and stuck its head firmly in the sand. Even as the radical Islamist networks threatening to take over Europe entrench themselves in the violent enclaves within the swelling Islamic communities in the cities, the EU’s politicians, with their elastic sense of morality and double-jointed value system, outdo themselves in attempts to reassure their constituents, and defang the Islamist terrorism about to explode in their back yards.
In light of Hezbollah’s participation in the slaughter in Syria and of the terrorist attacks it has carried out in the thirty years of its existence, the leaders of the EU had no choice but to designate its “military wing” as a terrorist organization and take measures against it, but somehow managed to leave its so-called “political wing” untouched.
However, before the EU could designate Hezbollah a terrorist organization, a sop had to be thrown to the various Islamist terrorist organizations: an anti-Israeli decision. In a particularly pathetic move intended to provide “balance” for designating Hezbollah’s military wing a terrorist organization — and hoping to stave off the Islamist terrorism threatening Europe, if only temporarily — the EU issued a condemnation of the Jewish settlements in the occupied territories and announced that their products would be boycotted.
The truth is that the EU’s condemnation of the Israeli settlements is sinful, because it is impossible to distinguish between the various Israeli groups. The Jews who live in occupied Palestine and the Jews who live in the occupied West Bank are all Jewish Zionist invaders who settled on Arab lands on the grounds that the Bible granted them the right to the land, while the Palestinians have no right to the Holy Land which gave birth to Jesus, the first Palestinian Messiah. I do not hate the Jews, but by distinguishing between the two parts of the Blessed Land, the EU legitimized the Jewish settlers who have been living in occupied Palestine since 1948. As the Arabic proverb says, “He who came to put kohl on the eyes of the lady instead caused her to go blind.”
It is obvious that all the EU’s slippery maneuvering and rhetoric have only one objective: to fool the radical Islamists and appease them, in that way hoping to gain quiet, for the time being, and postpone the eventual outbreak of Islamist violence. The Islamists, however, refuse to be manipulated by such semantics. Hezbollah spokesmen had an immediate aggressive response to the EU announcement, calling it surrender to the dictates of the Americans and the Zionist lobby, and a hostile action, which serves only the Jews.
Hezbollah’s Deputy Director General, Sheikh Naim Qassem, says Europe will be harmed by this decision and the lies it spreads about Hezbollah, whose two wings are intertwined and cannot be separated. Hezbollah, he says, makes no distinction whatsoever between its political and military wings, and that the unity of the organization is perfectly clear to every Lebanese and every shaheed (martyr who dies for the sake of Allah in a holy war) who had ever fought in its ranks. He said Hezbollah knows exactly how to respond to the EU’s provocation, and will do so at a time and in a place it chooses.

No further statement was necessary to send the EU running to raise the white flag to any organization that so desired. After all, Hezbollah’s threats are genuine, and its fingerprints recently found on the terrorist attack in Burgas, Bulgaria.
Hezbollah, however, is not the only terrorist organization with its ear to the ground in Europe. Operatives of the various Islamist organizations — among them, the Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda and Hamas — listen very carefully to the EU’s pronouncements and continue to threaten, attack and weave a web of terrorism that will eventually cover Europe with destruction and death. Unlike Hezbollah, the leaders of these organizations still protest, for the time being, that there is a distinction between their political leadership and their military wings, but in reality the distinction is artificial, and its only objective is to fool the Europeans. They are exactly like Hezbollah, with no distinction whatsoever between politics and operations. As soon as their so-called political wings give the order, they will blow up Europe, and after that, the United States.
The EU’s designation of Hezbollah’s military wing as a terrorist organization is an example of Christian Europe’s cowardice as it looks into the face of the radical Islam that is threatening to destroy it. Europe is slowly dismembering itself, its principles and its cultural legacy to feed the monster and keep it at bay, while the monster will soon be strong enough to break its chains. Europe has started by feeding the monster a little finger, which it can easily do without; and will wind up feeding the monster its internal organs.
The first person to notice the trend was the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi — beaten and then shot at the side of the road in 2011 — who said, “The Muslims will conquer Europe without firing a shot.” If he knew about the European distinction between the political and military wings of the various Islamist terrorist organizations, he would die again, this time laughing.
Man watching city fall
The clock keeps on ticking
He doesn’t know why
He’s just cattle for slaughter
The requiem
When the meaningful words
When they cease to function
When there’s nothing to say
When will it start bothering you?
The requiem
Only a hint of religion
Uncensors to its false depravity
The sound of breaking glass
This is a reflection
The requiem
