The Algerian poison is evidence of war

The Islamic terrorists' pieces are falling into place, and some of their agents getting arrested, for even the most naive Europeans to see. The war is fully on. There is no other explanation for these Algerian poison plotters in the UK. None. In their eyes, the war started 1400 years ago.

It will take a while until we positively defeat Islam. Maybe 50 years. For the first time in history, a major religion is going to get kicked in the teeth by a secular, pro-freedom movement. It will provoke major turmoil elsewhere (as in: today's idiotarians are nothing compared to what radical "pacifists" may choose to sabotage). There will be a need for other, principled, resolute, and tougher US Presidents to continue to lead WW IV. Eight years won't be enough, unfortunately.

Muslim threats in Manchester

They're quite open about it. Murdering a police officer is justified as retaliation and should come as no surprise. They side with the Talibans and Saddam Hussein. They also understand, correctly, that the "War on Terrorism" is really a war against Islam. A group of Islamic fundamentalists went to the [Manchester] scene of the terror raids where the officer was killed and warned the tragedy might not be the last. The group included Ali Butt, a member of al-Muhajirun, an international organisation which aims to create a worldwide Islamic state. Ali Butt declared: The British and American governments cannot expect to kill all these people in Afghanistan and threaten Iraq with war and there not be some retaliation. Theirs is not a war on terrorism, it's a war on Islam. [via ManchesterOnline]

Update, 11pm: the article referenced above has been deleted from the ManchesterOnline site (shame!). Below are extracts recovered through Google News.

A group of Islamic fundamentalists went to the scene of the terror raids where the officer was killed and warned the tragedy might not be the last.

The group included Ali Butt, 20, who belongs to al-Muhajirun - an international organisation which aims to create a worldwide Islamic state. He said what has happened should come as no surprise. Mr Butt is believed to be related to Hassan Butt, the Prestwich fundamentalist who caused a storm in the aftermath of September 11 when he claimed he recruited hundreds of Muslims to fight for Osama Bin Laden.

Last night he and a group of supporters arrived at the police cordon around the house in Crumpsall where the terror raids took place. He said Britain could not expect to wage war on Iraq and Muslims and not face some retaliation. Butt, from Manchester, said:

I would not say it is justified, I don't condone the killing of a police officer, but I don't think it should come as unexpected either.
"The British and American governments cannot expect to kill all these people in Afghanistan and threaten Iraq with war and there not be some retaliation. Theirs is not a war on terrorism, it's a war on Islam.
"We believe that is the case and if it continues then I think there will continue to be retaliation of some kind.
"Are we going to send greeting cards to Britain? No we are not. We are going to stand together as Muslims and defend our right and honour against the bullies of Britain and America.
"I don't think what happened last night should come as a surprise and I think this kind of thing will happen more. I think it is expected to happen more because of the way Muslims are being treated worldwide.
"Britain is not a democracy, it is a mock-racy.


Blackley MP Graham Stringer said he was outraged by the comment made by Mr Butt so soon after the tragic killing. He said: It is an appalling thing for Mr Butt to say within hours of the murder of a brave police officer. What it should do is put us all on alert to look out for any potential threat from terrorism. [...]

Registration of dangerous aliens

Joining males above 16 from Iran, Iraq, Libya, Sudan and Syria, [m]en from Bangladesh, Egypt, Indonesia, Jordan and Kuwait will be added to the list of foreign visitors who must register with the U.S. government under a controversial anti-terrorism program... These are countries where Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups are active, or where the United States has national security concerns. Surprisingly missing: Saudi Arabia, North Korea, Afghanistan, Algeria, Lebanon, and "Palestine." Maybe they're dealing with them five at a time. [via The Washington Post]

Silence in the court

Lawrence Lessig is looking for a principle behind the silent five: Is it the [Supreme] Court's role to review and constrain Congress in the exercise of its enumerated power. Four justices have been generally strongly in favor of deference. Five justices have insisted on limits. [this item]
