The corporatocracy behind NATO wants to rape the countries Muslims live on and so it is necessary to dehumanize them by painting all Muslims with the broad stroke of "Savage, Jihaddists." <br /><br />The poster is an example of that slippery slope we saw at the beginning of Hitler's reign and if we keep up our current military campaigns across the region, we should be able to reach Holocaust numbers in no time.<br /><br />With Obama's passage of the NDAA, the new SS,(DHS) now has the legal right to take Mona to one of those re-education camps that were recently revealed in 2010 US Army documents.

Her article for Foreign Policy Magazine, "Why do they hate us?", which draws an uncompromising picture of misogyny in the Middle East. The hatred of women, of which Ms. Eltahawy writes about, runs through the politics of the Arab world, from driving bans in Saudi Arabia to sexual violence, child marriage and female genital mutilation in Egypt, Afghanistan, Sudan. These acts that she wrote of are the behaviour of savages, period. Yet, Ms. Eltahawy seeks to stop the lawful and legitimate First Amendment right of another woman. She calls this an accepted practice, which demonstrates her blindness to principles of Free Speech.PCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15057902529492759961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-6473147590456833652012-09-30T04:26:00.547-07:002012-09-30T04:26:00.547-07:00When Mona wakes up boiling with rage then she is t...When Mona wakes up boiling with rage then she is the savage we must not let our children near.tessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13649872367665940363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-51159087193283681882012-09-30T01:38:14.581-07:002012-09-30T01:38:14.581-07:00"Geller's intent was not to merely malign..."Geller's intent was not to merely malign "jihadis" (whom I could honestly care less about)"<br /><br />Of course you don't since there is probably 4000 miles between you and them.<br /><br />"So what do you call the Israeli soldiers who have killed hundreds of Palestinian children down the years using sniper guns?"<br /><br />What do you call the Hamas terrorists who hide behind palestinian civilians?<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-90890927168686489732012-09-30T01:03:39.983-07:002012-09-30T01:03:39.983-07:00What characterises the responses from leftists on ...What characterises the responses from leftists on here (and elsewhere on the defacement of the 'Savage' ad by Mona Eltahawy and others), is one of their very own unabashed hatreds - that of free speech with informed debate. <br /><br />They don't wish you even to see the (perfectly valid) debating points and facts presented by Spencer, Geller and others; so they resort to physical defacement and brain-dead sloganeering in an attempt to shut down the argument without further engagement.<br /><br />This is then followed up by ideological defacement. Any attempts at reasoned discussion are met with characteristic ad-hominem and hysteria - again typical of debate with liberals - the 'R' bomb in particular; which, is almost always deployed to provide cover for lack of facts.<br /><br />Geller and Spencer bravely (and by that I do mean at the risk of their own lives) take to task the backward, brutal and insidious doctrine of Islam (for Islam most assuredly is a doctrine, not merely a religion) - not Muslim individuals. <br /><br />Indeed, ex-Muslims feature strongly among their supporters. One of Geller's supporters is a black African ex-slave (the enslavement of blacks in Africa by Muslims continues to this day).<br /><br />The Left, on the other hand, conveniently ignore Islam's seventh-century backwardness, homophobia, intrinsic violence, misogyny and hatred of non-believers, partly in order to cover some racism of their own- their abiding execration of Israel and Jews.Philipnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-83521473876565232162012-09-28T15:06:17.858-07:002012-09-28T15:06:17.858-07:00I love that post!!

Colonial feminism is the last thing we need here.<br /><br />For those who are not familiar with her she is for the niqab ban and all what it comes with it for Muslim women in France, she is against the BDS, she doesn't leave a chance to victimize Arab, Muslim and Middle eastern women on all sort of visual and written media, she's a western media darling and an attention seeker who built her career speaking on behalf of Muslims, Arabs, Egyptians with an orientalist narrative.An Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17801435115152878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-74435793240036464052012-09-27T17:17:40.816-07:002012-09-27T17:17:40.816-07:00Completely right!

In fact, by Mona re-focusing the spotlight onto herself and her exploitative actions she made a mockery of and sidelined the issue of hate speech and racism. <br /><br />Mona's egoistical, pathological behaviour shares, at it's foundation, many qualities with Glen Beck and other loud, self-promoting, comical personas. <br /><br />__________<br /><br />KARL: I don't think I have ever read anything this good in quite awhile, but then you had some great material :-) You captured the Mona zeitgeist, now let's hope you contributed to defusing her larger-than-life ego!adelenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-5152276798912240542012-09-27T17:16:22.350-07:002012-09-27T17:16:22.350-07:00Wow, how wrong so many of you are here.
First off...Wow, how wrong so many of you are here.<br /><br />First off, out of context, the ad talks about jihadis, not Muslims, but if you are familiar with Geller, you would know that she paints all Palestinians with that same "jihadi" brush...that's why this ad does, in fact, pit Israel against Muslims (or at least Palestinians) and not merely "jihadis."<br /><br />Second - racism is not limited to the mere belief that another race is inferior - structural racism—such as that which exists at the current moment in the US against anyone Muslim or even Muslim-looking—may not rest on the inferiority bit, but is nonetheless racism. Racism = prejudice + power is a good sociological definition one might use.<br /><br />Geller's intent was not to merely malign "jihadis" (whom I could honestly care less about) but to malign all Middle Eastern residents who are not Israeli. To claim anything less is to ignore years of context.Jillianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01792137126898623243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-18947429903109697712012-09-27T10:04:09.426-07:002012-09-27T10:04:09.426-07:00Replying to Anonymous 26 Sept 23:25 -

Because a state's congressmen are allocated on the basis of population, the southern states wanted to count all the slaves even though they could not vote. The northern states did not want to count any of the slaves because they could not vote.<br /><br />Jay StevensAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752043102302398548.post-66128771395410295332012-09-27T09:58:20.847-07:002012-09-27T09:58:20.847-07:00really?

It's bad enough that we have to read about what every woman in the world wears instead of what she thinks, says, or does. But please don't you dare imagine that this is how Mona speaks or presents herself. <br /><br />First of all, Mona got out there and did something which is probably no more illegal than every gang member in Philadelphia or LA defacing public property - but the point is she has correctly identified it as racism.
