PM of UK, Cameron Will Say:
"When a white person holds objectionable views - racism, for example - we rightly condemn them. But when equally un"acceptable views or practices have come from someone who isn't white, we've been too cautious, frankly even fearful, to stand up to them."
He calls it, "muscular liberalism". I call it coming to one's senses. Radical Islam is changing the UK and Europe, and they better wake up. They must stand against those values that don't measure up to their National identity, or lose it forever. Same goes for here in the USA.
It will be an interesting speech, certaining more interesting than "The King's Speech".

TSA: Traumatic Sexual Assault
My ding-a-ling, my ding-a-ling, they want to play with my ding-a-ling. We are from the Government, and here to help you.
It is seriously doubtful that the virtual strip searches will stop attacks like the underwear bomber. Don't you remember that he got on an international flight without a passport? Wouldn't following correct procedures and profiling individuals who travel from and too the Middle East more carefully be more useful.... rather than feeling up grandma and grandpa going traveling on Thanksgiving?
In the end, all the underwear bomber ended up doing was roasting his own weenie. Passengers put and end to the episode like 100 percent of the attacks in the past. Who needs TSA, just give passengers the right to carry weapons. We'll take care of the bastards.
How about profiling instead, focusing our limited resources on the people that might actually commit a terrorist attack? Gee, what a novel idea, turn our attention on the THREAT instead of this politically correct method of treating everyone who buys a plane ticket as potential terrorists...even three year old little girls. Metal detectors and baggage screening we'll continue to put up with, but not this virtual strip search and groping. Simply add profiling to strip search and grop the likely terrorist.
I've had enough. Please, write or call your Congressmen to put a stop to this. One compromise is to make our Government officials go through this search procedure everyday they enter their own office building and get on a Government aircraft. No exceptions. I want to see Janet Napolitano's tits groped and groin felt up every time she gets on an airplane. This would include our President and his family every single time they board Air Force One. When that happens, I'll shut up.

Intellectual Terrorism....From an Article by Dr. Tomislav Sunic
"Although America prides itself on its First Amendment, free speech in higher education and the media is subject to didactic self censorship. Expression of politically incorrect opinions can ruin the careers of, or hurt the grades of those who are “naive” enough to trust their First Amendment rights. It is a growing practice among tenured professors in the USA to give passing grades to many of their minority students in order to avoid legal troubles with their peers at best, or to avoid losing a job at worst.
In a similar vein, according the the Fabius-Gayssot law, proposed by a French Communist deputy and adopted in 1990, a person uttering in public doubts about modern antifascist victimology risks serious fines or imprisonment. A number of writers and journalists from France and Germany committed suicide, lost their jobs, or asked for political asylum in Syria, Sweden or America.
Similar repressive measures have been recently enacted in multicultural Australia, Canada and Belgium. Many East European nationalist politicians, particularly from Croatia, wishing to visit their expatriate countrymen in Canada or Australia are denied visa by those countries on the grounds of their alleged extremist nationalistic views. For the time being Russia, and other post-communist countries, are not subject to the same repressive thought control as exists in the USA or the European Union. Yet, in view of the increasing pressure from Brussels and Washington, this may change.
Contrary to widespread beliefs, state terror, i.e. totalitarianism is not only a product of violent ideology espoused by a handful of thugs. Civic fear, feigned self-abnegation, and intellectual abdication create an ideal ground for the totalitarian temptation. Intellectual terrorism is fueled by a popular belief that somehow things will straighten out by themselves. Growing social apathy and rising academic self-censorship only boost the spirit of totalitarianism. Essentially, the spirit of totalitarianism is the absence of all spirit".

Found this, of all places, in Pravda. Can you imagine, the former Soviet mouthpiece more honest than the American and European press? The worm has turned. Dr. Sunic realizes the road to totalitarianism is built with the bricks of political correctness, hate speech legislation, and intellectual dishonesty. Read the entire piece here. Its an article from 2002, in the archives, but non-the-less timely and on target.

Stuck on Stupid
Margaret Thatcher tried to save Britain in 1978. If you read her Conservative manifesto here, its an unnerving comparison of liberal and Labour party versus common sense conservative values. I say unnerving, as you can change the date from 1978 to 2010, and her criticisms of liberals are applicable to Barack Obama's vision for America. British and American liberals are definitely stuck on stupid, and America in particular has been since the days of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. Down with Progressives and progressivism, as its just socialism with a fake mustashe.

I Smell a Rat...Have the Anti-Federalist Founders Been Proven Right?
Were the Anti-Federalists Wrong?
Wayne D. Carlson
In the great debates that occurred in each of the 13 Independent Republics, to consider the momentous question of rejection or ratification of the newly proposed Constitution in 1787, there were no small number of great and learned men that vehemently opposed, and warned against, the adoption of that document. History remembers them as the "Antifederalists". In Virginia alone, no less than "the trumpet of the Revolution", Patrick Henry stood opposed. George Mason, who is credited with writing the Virginia Bill of Rights which became the model for the Constitution's, joined him in opposition. It was Richard Henry Lee that first presented to Congress, in June of 1776, the resolution that the thirteen "United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States." He too, joined Henry and Mason in principled objection to ratification of the Constitution, as written. As editor Isaac Kramnick states in the introduction to The Federalist Papers, "In state after state, often only a handful of votes separated the pro-Constitution forces and the defeated opponents of the Constitution. In light of the growing centralization and tyranny of the Federal government today, perhaps it is high time we considered some of the arguments of those like Henry who said, "I smell a rat".
Professor Marshall L. DeRosa, in his 1991 "The Confederate Constitution of 1861:An Inquiry into American Constitutionalism", notes that the primary objection of those opposing this new Constitution, lay in its ambiguity concerning the "locus", or place, in which ultimate sovereignty resided. Sovereignty, of course, denotes supreme political authority, which the Antifederalists were anxious to preserve to their States..... read more here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The individual States must press their 10th Admendment rights, or our Republic will perish. Thank God for the brave Arizona and Governor Jan Brewer for resisting the oppressive Federal monster. Hurrah for Arizona! Now, our own Federal capital has joined forces with 13 other foriegn nations to to fight one of our own soveriegn States. This is disgraceful. If anything should make a patriot pick up a rifle and march to sound of gunfire is this outrage lead by the Progressive Marxist Obama administration.
Its time, tea party time if you will, to chop down this huge Federal bureaucracy that has forgotten that it works for us, not the other way around. By all thats in you, resist, resist, RESIST>

Growing Resistance In Europe to Sharia..Part II
Continuation of the growing unrest among native born Swedes of Jihadi migration. This is what I don't understand about the left. Why would one desire or want to import foreign cultures that refuse to assimilate, and ultimately want to replace your Constitutional democracy with Sharia. This is insane...like deliberately swallowing a toxic substance. Some musical groups, such as Saga, are part of the young Swedish movement to change the left wing Government thats tolerated a massive invasion of Muslims into Sweden in the last 20 years. Hear Saga sing here, as you watch Paris burning during the Jihadi riots.

Energy Policy and Terrorism
One thing I can't get out of my head, was the recording of the 911 call from a young women trapped in one of the towers in NY. She was burning to death. I will never forget or forgive this attack, nor loose any memory of who launched it.
This attack represents a monument of political correctness, and feckless US policy over the last 30 years (since the Iranian hostage crisis in the late 70s). As long as we continue to deny that the ideology of Islam is the problem. We need to immediately develop strategies to stop oil rich Islamic republics from funding the expansion and construction of mosques and madrassas that spread this vile ideology all over the world. Major Hassan, the Fort Hood murderer learned the lessons of jihad in the USA.
We need to build nuclear power plants yesterday, clean coal power plants, and move to compressed natural gas to fuel our trucking fleets as quickly as we can. We need to drill everywhere we can off the US coast, in Anwar, everywhere there are domestic supplies of oil. We must make oil less important, and screwing around with wind turbines and solar isn't going to do it. Green energy will not supply enough energy for a modern economy. I would use NASA funding to create a Manhattan type project to develop hydrogen cell technology. We need to get moving.
We must starve the so-called Muslim nations from expanding jihad all over the world with oil profits. We are indeed complicit in spreading this hateful ideology if we don't get a energy policy that makes sense. That is what the West must do, and stop lying to ourselves that this is a benign religion of peace that's been hijacked. Islam IS the problem. We need to ban the immigration of Islamists into the USA as persona's non gratas, just as Nazis and fascists. Enough is enough.

Stop the Denial...This is A Holy War
The ground zero mosque, and other mosques scheduled for construction are the Islamic HQ's to carry on the jihad inside the United States. These buildings are far larger than their Muslim populations could use or support. They are being constructed for the future with foreign money primarily from Wahhabi's in Saudi and Iran.
The irrational liberals, who defend these incursions into the West, will be the first targets once jihadi political dominance is achieved.
There is no freedom where Sharia rules. This is a holy war from the Muslim perspective. They do not want duel state solutions in Palestine or even peaceful coexistence with democracies in the West. Their goal is to bring the entire world under Sharia, if it takes the next 1000 years.
I believe Imam Rauf wants to be the interim World Caliphate, and the successful completion of the GZ Mosque would create the optics of a great Muslim "victory". Although the "victory" was certainly a cowardly one, the completion of this shrine will bring Rauf great prestige and influence in the Muslim "world" he seeks to consolidate power. If you'll observe saw some of the video of Rauf's visits into Muslim countries, you can't help but notice they seem to treat him as royalty.
This entire thing is about Muslim supremacy throughout the world. Nothing else.
We do need to encourage new nationalism in Egypt, Syria, and Iraq. Before Islam turned them dark, they were great civilizations. The people of these countries need to be REMINDED who they were before this Arab cult descended upon them and turned them into third world sh!t holes.
We need Western leaders with the courage to admit what the West is up against, and stop the denial that Islam is a religion in the first instance, and that it wants peace in the the second.

Ground Zero Mosque..Top Three Reasons Rauf Won't Back Down
Why does this radical Imam Rauf (called a moderate by the press) want to build this mosque in the face of overwhelming objections?
1. He wants to be an Islamic calaphite to the world by pulling off this stunt at the site of a great Mooselim victory.
2. By backing down, he would loose face in the Mooselim world as a strong effective leader.
3. By backing down and moving the location, he would loose foriegn funding from "crazy-as-a-sh!thouse-rat" countries like Iran and Saudi Arabia.
If we don't stop foriegn funding of these enemy fortresses in the USA, we will have more dead Americans bleeding on US soil. Mooselims born in the USA are not loyal to their country, but only to their evil Arab cult and his prophet.

The Canadian Inquisition--Free Speech On Trial
Here you see something you've never seen before, a Government official questioning a citizen who published Muslim cartoons in Canada "what his intent" was for doing so. This is an unusual look inside what the end of free speech looks like in Canada....Government officials questioning your thoughts....and if found guilty of hate speech....fined for doing so. You may have to turn up the volume to hear...but this is very chilling. This is whats coming to America, if we don't resist hate crime or speech legislation.

Homosexual Marriage....Doesn't Make Sense
Gayness is a self proclaimed identity based on ones sexual appetites. It represents a very small minority.
The States sole interest in protecting the institution of marriage is the protection of children... vital for the perpeturity of civilization. Who needs gay marriage? To what end, to what purpose?
Unhealthy homosexual practices launched one of the most deadly epidemics in the world; perversions which have now leaked into to heterosexual community....costing billions upon billions....not to mention lives lost.
Not only should we never endorse marriage between homosexuals, but ban it entirely by reinstituting sodomy laws. Although I would never suggest monitoring private behavior in bedrooms, sodomy laws had the good effect of forbiding homosexual marriage and running perverse pornograhers out of the State. A two-pher benefit. Sodomy should be banned as unhealthy practice, as much crystal meth piping is today.
The concept of Barney Fwank piping his boyfriend, or Elana Kagan strapping on "an aparatus" for her girlfriend.. can never be equated by the holy union of a man and women united in a commited relationship, with the promise of nurturing,raising, and educating the next generation of Americans. Give me a break.

Islamaphobia????????

Growing Resistance In Europe to Sharia
The English Defense League in Britain is a growing movement in the UK that is responding to the growing threat of Islamification. Predictably, they're being dismissed as Nazis or racists by the English libertine press . Not unlike our own American press, which somehow conflates ideology and race. How can Muslims carry hateful signs of conquest and still be characterised as 'victims' in the English press? Just like home.
My hope that anti Islamic groups in the West will unite and come together as much more powerful force to rid our Christian shores of this dangerous ideology. The EDL are not a bunch of "thugs" as the press describes, but seem to use technology competently and are well organized to grow their power base. Some reports that base is also spreading into Northern Ireland.

A Response to Islamification of Europe
With Muslim populations on the move into Europe, sparks of resistance are growing. Around that resistance, young musical groups are forming a new genre of defiance. Although it is by definition, "racist", its still a fascinating thing to see emerge in socialist leaning Europe. Given the arrogance of Islam to build a mosque at ground zero, we all soon may be singing this song.
It really begs the question if we can live in a pluralistic society. New immigrant groups are refusing to assimilate, as there is a vast cultural divide. Tolerance may not be enough, as immigrants grow in political power and develop the means of influencing and/or directing Government. At that point, tolerance surrenders to the new oppressors of the new minority.
Performance is by "Saga", The Independent Voice of Europe.

Muslim Claims of Accomplishment
Muslim Claims of Accomplishment
By: Peter BetBasoo
ChristiansOfIraq.com Friday, January 04, 2008
EDITOR'S NOTE: There is great need for setting the record straight on the
history of the Middle East. The revisionism of the last few years will lead
Western Civilization into bondage. The following letter by Assyrian scholar
Peter BetBasoo is a very important step in the right direction. It was sent
by Assyrian scholar Peter BetBasoo to Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard
Corporation, in response to a speech she presented in Minneapolis on
September 26, 2001. It is reprinted by permission. Please read and pass it
on to others.
Dear Madame Fiorina:
It is with great interest that I read your speech delivered on September 26,
2001, titled "Technology, Business and Our way of Life: What's Next" [sic].
I was particularly interested in the story you told at the end of your
speech, about the Arab/Muslim civilization. As an Assyrian, a non-Arab,
Christian native of the Middle East, whose ancestors reach back to 5000
B.C., I wish to clarify some points you made in this little story, and to
alert you to the dangers of unwittingly being drawn into the
Arabist/Islamist ideology, which seeks to assimilate all cultures and
religions into the Arab/Islamic fold.
I know you are a very busy woman, but please find ten minutes to read what
follows, as it is a perspective that you will not likely get from anywhere
else. I will answer some of the specific points you made in your speech,
then conclude with a brief perspective on this Arabist/Islamist ideology.
Arabs and Muslims appeared on the world scene in 630 A.D., when the armies
of Muhammad began their conquest of the Middle East. We should be very clear
that this was a military conquest, not a missionary enterprise, and through
the use of force, authorized by a declaration of a Jihad against infidels,
Arabs/Muslims were able to forcibly convert and assimilate non-Arabs and
non-Muslims into their fold. Very few indigenous communities of the Middle
East survived this - primarily Assyrians, Jews, Armenians and Coptics (of
Egypt).
Having conquered the Middle East, Arabs placed these communities under a
Dhimmi (see the book DHIMMI, by Bat Ye'Or) system of governance, where the
communities were allowed to rule themselves as religious minorities
(Christians, Jews and Zoroastrian). These communities had to pay a tax
(called a Jizzya in Arabic) that was, in effect, a penalty for being
non-Muslim, and that was typically 80% in times of tolerance and up to 150%
in times of oppression. This tax forced many of these communities to convert
to Islam, as it was designed to do.
You state, "its architects designed buildings that defied gravity." I am not
sure what you are referring to, but if you are referring to domes and
arches, the fundamental architectural breakthrough of using a parabolic
shape instead of a spherical shape for these structures was made by the
Assyrians more than 1300 years earlier, as evidenced by their archaeological
record.
You state,
"its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the
building of computers, and the creation of encryption."
The fundamental basis of modern mathematics had been laid down not hundreds
but thousands of years before by Assyrians and Babylonians, who already knew
of the concept of zero, of the Pythagorean Theorem, and of many, many other
developments expropriated by Arabs/Muslims (see HISTORY OF BABYLONIAN
MATHEMATICS by Otto E. Neugebauer).
You state,
"its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease."
The overwhelming majority of these doctors (99%) were Assyrians. In the
fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries Assyrians began a systematic translation
of the Greek body of knowledge into Assyrian. At first, they concentrated on
the religious works but then quickly moved to science, philosophy and
medicine. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Galen, and many others were translated
into Assyrian, and from Assyrian into Arabic. It is these Arabic
translations which the Moors brought with them into Spain, and which the
Spaniards translated into Latin and spread throughout Europe, thus igniting
the European Renaissance.
By the sixth century A.D., Assyrians had begun exporting back to Byzantia
their own works on science, philosophy and medicine. In the field of
medicine, the Bakhteesho Assyrian family produced nine generations of
physicians, and founded the great medical school at Gundeshapur (Iran). Also
in the area of medicine, (the Assyrian) Hunayn ibn-Ishaq's textbook on
ophthalmology, written in 950 A.D., remained the authoritative source on the
subject until 1800 A.D.
In the area of philosophy, the Assyrian philosopher Job of Edessa developed
a physical theory of the universe, in the Assyrian language, that rivaled
Aristotle's theory, and that sought to replace matter with forces (a theory
that anticipated some ideas in quantum mechanics, such as the spontaneous
creation and destruction of matter that occurs in the quantum vacuum).
One of the greatest Assyrian achievements of the fourth century was the
founding of the first university in the world, the School of Nisibis, which
had three departments, theology, philosophy and medicine, and which became a
magnet and center of intellectual development in the Middle East. The
statutes of the School of Nisibis, which have been preserved, later became
the model upon which the first Italian university was based (see THE
STATUTES OF THE SCHOOL OF NISIBIS by Arthur Voobus).
When Arabs and Islam swept through the Middle East in 630 A.D., they
encountered 600 years of Assyrian Christian civilization, with a rich
heritage, a highly developed culture, and advanced learning institutions. It
is this civilization that became the foundation of the Arab civilization.
You state,
"Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way
for space travel and exploration."
This is a bit melodramatic. In fact, the astronomers you refer to were not
Arabs but Chaldeans and Babylonians (of present day south-Iraq), who for
millennia were known as astronomers and astrologers, and who were forcibly
Arabized and Islamized - so rapidly that by 750 A.D. they had disappeared
completely.
You state,
"its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and
magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in
fear to think of such things."
There is very little literature in the Arabic language that comes from this
period you are referring to (the Koran is the only significant piece of
literature), whereas the literary output of the Assyrians and Jews was vast.
The third largest corpus of Christian writing, after Latin and Greek, is by
the Assyrians in the Assyrian language (also called Syriac).
You state,
"when other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them,
and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past
civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on
to others."
This is a very important issue you raise, and it goes to the heart of the
matter of what Arab/Islamic civilization represents. I reviewed a book
titled HOW GREEK SCIENCE PASSED TO THE ARABS, in which author De Lacy
O'Leary lists the significant translators and interpreters of Greek science.
Of the 22 scholars listed, 20 were Assyrians, one was Persian and one an
Arab. I state at the end of my review:
"The salient conclusion which can be drawn from O'Leary's book is that
Assyrians played a significant role in the shaping of the Islamic world via
the Greek corpus of knowledge. If this is so, one must then ask the
question, what happened to the Christian communities which made them lose
this great intellectual enterprise they had established? One can ask this
same question of the Arabs. Sadly, O'Leary's book does not answer this
question, and we must look elsewhere for the answer."
I did not answer this question I posed in the review because it was not the
place to answer it, but the answer is very clear, the Christian Assyrian
community was drained of its population through forced conversion to Islam
(by the Jizzya), and once the community had dwindled below a critical
threshold, it ceased producing the scholars that were the intellectual
driving force of the Islamic civilization, and that is when the so called
"Golden Age of Islam" came to an end (about 850 A.D.).
Islam the religion itself was significantly molded by Assyrians and Jews
(see NESTORIAN INFLUENCE ON ISLAM and HAGARISM: THE MAKING OF THE ISLAMIC
WORLD).
Arab/Islamic civilization is not a progressive force, it is a regressive
force; it does not give impetus, it retards. The great civilization you
describe was not an Arab/Muslim accomplishment, it was an Assyrian
accomplishment that Arabs expropriated and subsequently lost when they
drained, through the forced conversion of Assyrians to Islam, the source of
the intellectual vitality that propelled it. What other Arab/Muslim
civilization has risen since? What other Arab/Muslim successes can we cite?
You state,
"and perhaps we can learn a lesson from his [Suleiman] example: It was
leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that
harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population that included
Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions."
In fact, the Ottomans were extremely oppressive to non-Muslims. For example,
young Christian boys were forcefully taken from their families, usually at
the age of 8-10, and inducted into the Janissaries, (yeniceri in Turkish)
where they were Islamized and made to fight for the Ottoman state. What
literary, artistic or scientific achievements of the Ottomans can we point
to? We can, on the other hand, point to the genocide of 750,000 Assyrians,
1.5 million Armenians and 400,000 Greeks in World War One by the Kemalist
"Young Turk" government. This is the true face of Islam.
Arabs/Muslims are engaged in an explicit campaign of destruction and
expropriation of cultures and communities, identities and ideas. Wherever
Arab/Muslim civilization encounters a non-Arab/Muslim one, it attempts to
destroy it (as the Buddhist statues in Afghanistan were destroyed, as
Persepolis was destroyed by the Ayotollah Khomeini).
This is a pattern that has been recurring since the advent of Islam, 1400
years ago, and is amply substantiated by the historical record. If the
"foreign" culture cannot be destroyed, then it is expropriated, and
revisionist historians claim that it is and was Arab, as is the case of most
of the Arab "accomplishments" you cited in your speech. For example, Arab
history texts in the Middle East teach that Assyrians were Arabs, a fact
that no reputable scholar would assert, and that no living Assyrian would
accept. Assyrians first settled Nineveh, one of the major Assyrian cities,
in 5000 B.C., which is 5630 years before Arabs came into that area. Even the
word 'Arab' is an Assyrian word, meaning "Westerner" (the first written
reference to Arabs was by the Assyrian King Sennacherib, 800 B.C., in which
he tells of conquering the "ma'rabayeh" - Westerners. See THE MIGHT THAT WAS
ASSYRIA by H. W. F. Saggs).
Even in America this Arabization policy continues. On October 27th a
coalition of seven Assyrian and Maronite organizations sent an official
letter to the Arab American Institute asking it to stop identifying
Assyrians and Maronites as Arabs, which it had been deliberately doing.
There are minorities and nations struggling for survival in the Arab/Muslim
ocean of the Middle East and Africa (Assyrians, Armenians, Coptics, Jews,
southern Sudanese, Ethiopians, Nigerians...), and we must be very sensitive
not to unwittingly and inadvertently support Islamic fascism and Arab
Imperialism, with their attempts to wipe out all other cultures, religions
and civilizations. It is incumbent upon each one of us to do our homework
and research when making statements and speeches about these sensitive
matters.

EDITOR'S NOTE: There is great need for setting the record straight on the
history of the Middle East. The revisionism of the last few years will lead
Western Civilization into bondage. The following letter by Assyrian scholar
Peter BetBasoo is a very important step in the right direction. It was sent
by Assyrian scholar Peter BetBasoo to Carly Fiorina, CEO of Hewlett Packard
Corporation, in response to a speech she presented in Minneapolis on
September 26, 2001. It is reprinted by permission. Please read and pass it
on to others.
Dear Madame Fiorina:
It is with great interest that I read your speech delivered on September 26,
2001, titled "Technology, Business and Our way of Life: What's Next" [sic].
I was particularly interested in the story you told at the end of your
speech, about the Arab/Muslim civilization. As an Assyrian, a non-Arab,
Christian native of the Middle East, whose ancestors reach back to 5000
B.C., I wish to clarify some points you made in this little story, and to
alert you to the dangers of unwittingly being drawn into the
Arabist/Islamist ideology, which seeks to assimilate all cultures and
religions into the Arab/Islamic fold.
I know you are a very busy woman, but please find ten minutes to read what
follows, as it is a perspective that you will not likely get from anywhere
else. I will answer some of the specific points you made in your speech,
then conclude with a brief perspective on this Arabist/Islamist ideology.
Arabs and Muslims appeared on the world scene in 630 A.D., when the armies
of Muhammad began their conquest of the Middle East. We should be very clear
that this was a military conquest, not a missionary enterprise, and through
the use of force, authorized by a declaration of a Jihad against infidels,
Arabs/Muslims were able to forcibly convert and assimilate non-Arabs and
non-Muslims into their fold. Very few indigenous communities of the Middle
East survived this - primarily Assyrians, Jews, Armenians and Coptics (of
Egypt).
Having conquered the Middle East, Arabs placed these communities under a
Dhimmi (see the book DHIMMI, by Bat Ye'Or) system of governance, where the
communities were allowed to rule themselves as religious minorities
(Christians, Jews and Zoroastrian). These communities had to pay a tax
(called a Jizzya in Arabic) that was, in effect, a penalty for being
non-Muslim, and that was typically 80% in times of tolerance and up to 150%
in times of oppression. This tax forced many of these communities to convert
to Islam, as it was designed to do.
You state, "its architects designed buildings that defied gravity." I am not
sure what you are referring to, but if you are referring to domes and
arches, the fundamental architectural breakthrough of using a parabolic
shape instead of a spherical shape for these structures was made by the
Assyrians more than 1300 years earlier, as evidenced by their archaeological
record.
You state,
"its mathematicians created the algebra and algorithms that would enable the
building of computers, and the creation of encryption."
The fundamental basis of modern mathematics had been laid down not hundreds
but thousands of years before by Assyrians and Babylonians, who already knew
of the concept of zero, of the Pythagorean Theorem, and of many, many other
developments expropriated by Arabs/Muslims (see HISTORY OF BABYLONIAN
MATHEMATICS by Otto E. Neugebauer).
You state,
"its doctors examined the human body, and found new cures for disease."
The overwhelming majority of these doctors (99%) were Assyrians. In the
fourth, fifth, and sixth centuries Assyrians began a systematic translation
of the Greek body of knowledge into Assyrian. At first, they concentrated on
the religious works but then quickly moved to science, philosophy and
medicine. Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Galen, and many others were translated
into Assyrian, and from Assyrian into Arabic. It is these Arabic
translations which the Moors brought with them into Spain, and which the
Spaniards translated into Latin and spread throughout Europe, thus igniting
the European Renaissance.
By the sixth century A.D., Assyrians had begun exporting back to Byzantia
their own works on science, philosophy and medicine. In the field of
medicine, the Bakhteesho Assyrian family produced nine generations of
physicians, and founded the great medical school at Gundeshapur (Iran). Also
in the area of medicine, (the Assyrian) Hunayn ibn-Ishaq's textbook on
ophthalmology, written in 950 A.D., remained the authoritative source on the
subject until 1800 A.D.
In the area of philosophy, the Assyrian philosopher Job of Edessa developed
a physical theory of the universe, in the Assyrian language, that rivaled
Aristotle's theory, and that sought to replace matter with forces (a theory
that anticipated some ideas in quantum mechanics, such as the spontaneous
creation and destruction of matter that occurs in the quantum vacuum).
One of the greatest Assyrian achievements of the fourth century was the
founding of the first university in the world, the School of Nisibis, which
had three departments, theology, philosophy and medicine, and which became a
magnet and center of intellectual development in the Middle East. The
statutes of the School of Nisibis, which have been preserved, later became
the model upon which the first Italian university was based (see THE
STATUTES OF THE SCHOOL OF NISIBIS by Arthur Voobus).
When Arabs and Islam swept through the Middle East in 630 A.D., they
encountered 600 years of Assyrian Christian civilization, with a rich
heritage, a highly developed culture, and advanced learning institutions. It
is this civilization that became the foundation of the Arab civilization.
You state,
"Its astronomers looked into the heavens, named the stars, and paved the way
for space travel and exploration."
This is a bit melodramatic. In fact, the astronomers you refer to were not
Arabs but Chaldeans and Babylonians (of present day south-Iraq), who for
millennia were known as astronomers and astrologers, and who were forcibly
Arabized and Islamized - so rapidly that by 750 A.D. they had disappeared
completely.
You state,
"its writers created thousands of stories. Stories of courage, romance and
magic. Its poets wrote of love, when others before them were too steeped in
fear to think of such things."
There is very little literature in the Arabic language that comes from this
period you are referring to (the Koran is the only significant piece of
literature), whereas the literary output of the Assyrians and Jews was vast.
The third largest corpus of Christian writing, after Latin and Greek, is by
the Assyrians in the Assyrian language (also called Syriac).
You state,
"when other nations were afraid of ideas, this civilization thrived on them,
and kept them alive. When censors threatened to wipe out knowledge from past
civilizations, this civilization kept the knowledge alive, and passed it on
to others."
This is a very important issue you raise, and it goes to the heart of the
matter of what Arab/Islamic civilization represents. I reviewed a book
titled HOW GREEK SCIENCE PASSED TO THE ARABS, in which author De Lacy
O'Leary lists the significant translators and interpreters of Greek science.
Of the 22 scholars listed, 20 were Assyrians, one was Persian and one an
Arab. I state at the end of my review:
"The salient conclusion which can be drawn from O'Leary's book is that
Assyrians played a significant role in the shaping of the Islamic world via
the Greek corpus of knowledge. If this is so, one must then ask the
question, what happened to the Christian communities which made them lose
this great intellectual enterprise they had established? One can ask this
same question of the Arabs. Sadly, O'Leary's book does not answer this
question, and we must look elsewhere for the answer."
I did not answer this question I posed in the review because it was not the
place to answer it, but the answer is very clear, the Christian Assyrian
community was drained of its population through forced conversion to Islam
(by the Jizzya), and once the community had dwindled below a critical
threshold, it ceased producing the scholars that were the intellectual
driving force of the Islamic civilization, and that is when the so called
"Golden Age of Islam" came to an end (about 850 A.D.).
Islam the religion itself was significantly molded by Assyrians and Jews
(see NESTORIAN INFLUENCE ON ISLAM and HAGARISM: THE MAKING OF THE ISLAMIC
WORLD).
Arab/Islamic civilization is not a progressive force, it is a regressive
force; it does not give impetus, it retards. The great civilization you
describe was not an Arab/Muslim accomplishment, it was an Assyrian
accomplishment that Arabs expropriated and subsequently lost when they
drained, through the forced conversion of Assyrians to Islam, the source of
the intellectual vitality that propelled it. What other Arab/Muslim
civilization has risen since? What other Arab/Muslim successes can we cite?
You state,
"and perhaps we can learn a lesson from his [Suleiman] example: It was
leadership based on meritocracy, not inheritance. It was leadership that
harnessed the full capabilities of a very diverse population that included
Christianity, Islamic, and Jewish traditions."

Progressive Armageddon
The Armageddon coming will contest those who hold that rights are inalienable and the secular progressive statists who insist that no universal truth exists (therefore, it’s amendable). The Progressive line of thinking follows Nietzsche, and believe the force we call evil is simply "man the animal" slowly evolving. Progressivism seeks to remedy man’s state, while progressives themselves are unable to recognize that they, themselves, are the same animal. They run in circles searching for truth. Those that follow them remain confused and directionless.
Progressives have latched on to the idea of race, as they are the premier racists who see everything in terms of race. Race is central to their line of thinking, in terms of man’s state, and what needs to be done to evolve the animal to a higher form of existence. It’s the grand experiment, that defines their politics and activism. In fact, progressives are ”ate up” with race. That is the first thing a progressive will notice about you.
Do you recall when tea parties were organizing; liberal focus was primarily on the tea partier's race, as it defined why “teabaggers” were protesting. This was Chris Matthew's single issue with the Tea Party. When you understand this about progressive liberals, everything they do is predictable. They classify those willing to accept their doctrine as enlightened, those who accept their help as oppressed and evolving, and those who oppose them hatefully bigoted. It is the Conservative who is not the bigot or racist, who expects every person to pick themselves up by their own bootstraps.
If those who are seen as helpless only understood how lowly and inferior progressive liberals benevolently see them, they would break the chain of dependence and stand up for themselves.
