An excerpt from the article notes some details which the California State Board of Education omits. “About sixty million Christians,eighty million Hindus, and ten million Buddhists were killed during the jihad conquests”. “Jews saw a mosque built on top of their temple mount in their own Holy Land in Jerusalem, and Egypt was a Byzantine Coptic Christian nation for six hundred years before Muslim Bedouins invaded this ancient civilization in the seventh century and forced Islam and the Arabic language on its citizens who suffered an extreme and brutal genocide.” “Africa suffered 120 million deaths from jihad in the last fourteen hundred years.”
California schools paint Christians as evil and the Palestinians as victims. Our schools no longer teach patriotism, love of country or pride for American exceptionalism. Is it any wonder that California schools who once lead the nation in achievement are now vying for last place? We need to get back to basics, focus on being the best and steer clear of the self-loathing, apologist agenda now being taught in our schools.

France has a better heath care system? Best to stick with wine and cheese.
A great article from the American Thinker, giving credit where credit is due. France has some positives when it comes to their health care system, but contrary to what Francophiles may say it is not better than what we have here in the good 'ole US of A. France still excels when it comes to wine and cheese, I'll give them bonus points for that. No other country can wile away the hours at an outdoor cafe like the French, (except maybe the Italians), but when it comes to health care the Americans are still the top dog.

Muslim Brotherhood Manifesto
Just one article of many about the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto.
http://tiny.cc/5Q63l
An excerpt:
Rather than focusing on terrorism as the sole method of group action, as is the case with Al-Qaeda, in perfect postmodern fashion the use of terror falls into a multiplicity of options available to progressively infiltrate, confront, and eventually establish Islamic domination over the West. The following tactics and techniques are among the many recommendations made in The Manifesto:
Networking and coordinating actions between likeminded Islamist organizations.
Avoiding open alliances with known terrorist organizations and individuals to maintain the appearance of “moderation”.
Infiltrating and taking over existing Muslim organizations to realign them towards the Muslim Brotherhood’s collective goals.
Using deception to mask the intended goals of Islamist actions, as long as it doesn’t conflict with shari’a law.
Avoiding social conflicts with Westerners locally, nationally or globally, that might damage the long-term ability to expand the Islamist powerbase in the West or provoke a lash back against Muslims.
Establishing financial networks to fund the work of conversion of the West, including the support of full-time administrators and workers.
Conducting surveillance, obtaining data, and establishing collection and data storage capabilities.
Putting into place a watchdog system for monitoring Western media to warn Muslims of “international plots fomented against them”.
Cultivating an Islamist intellectual community, including the establishment of think-tanks and advocacy groups, and publishing “academic” studies, to legitimize Islamist positions and to chronicle the history of Islamist movements.
Developing a comprehensive 100-year plan to advance Islamist ideology throughout the world.
Balancing international objectives with local flexibility.
Building extensive social networks of schools, hospitals and charitable organizations dedicated to Islamist ideals so that contact with the movement for Muslims in the West is constant.
Involving ideologically committed Muslims in democratically-elected institutions on all levels in the West, including government, NGOs, private organizations and labor unions.
Instrumentally using existing Western institutions until they can be converted and put into service of Islam.
Drafting Islamic constitutions, laws and policies for eventual implementation.
Avoiding conflict within the Islamist movements on all levels, including the development of processes for conflict resolution;
Instituting alliances with Western “progressive” organizations that share similar goals.
Creating autonomous “security forces” to protect Muslims in the West.
Inflaming violence and keeping Muslims living in the West “in a jihad frame of mind”.
Supporting jihad movements across the Muslim world through preaching, propaganda, personnel, funding, and technical and operational support.
Making the Palestinian cause a global wedge issue for Muslims.
Adopting the total liberation of Palestine from Israel and the creation of an Islamic state as a keystone in the plan for global Islamic domination.
Instigating a constant campaign to incite hatred by Muslims against Jews and rejecting any discussions of conciliation or coexistence with them.
Actively creating jihad terror cells within Palestine.
Linking the terrorist activities in Palestine with the global terror movement.
Collecting sufficient funds to indefinitely perpetuate and support jihad around the world.
In reading The Manifesto, it should be kept in mind that it was drafted in 1982 when current tensions and terrorist activities in the Middle East were still very nascent. In many respects, The Project is extremely prescient for outlining the bulk of Islamist action, whether by “moderate” Islamist organizations or outright terror groups, over the past two decades.

American Patriotism versus British Patriotism
I copied the following link from a discussion thread about British patriotism versus American patriotism from the UK online paper "The Sun".
American Patriotism Puts Us All To Shame
Yes it does
They hoist the stars & stripes in a sign of unity
We hoist the Union flag and are labeled 'racist'
They sing a national anthem about the unity of its states & people
We have a national anthem that sings not about its people, but about a family of people that don't represent us and one that also countenances the elected dictatorship
They promote freedom of choice and the work ethic
Our government promote state dependance and 'nanny-state'
They promote self-reliance and the creation of wealth
Our government promotes the scrounger ethic and reliance on the state
They promote the rule of law and just deterrent
Our government promotes apologising for every tom, dick & scumbag
They promote democracy and trust their own to make the right choices
Our government does not trust the people to make decisions for themselves
Americans thrive on a political system; democracy
UK ruling socialist elite thrives on dictatorship and top-down control
Americans breed hope and real belief for the future
UK socialists breed only doom and despair for the future
Americans largely trust their government to do the 'right thing'
British already know government can't be trusted to run an orgy in a brothel
American government truly love their people
British socialist government hates its own people
It's not the Americans that put us to shame, but the NuLabour socialists that put us to shame

British More Like Americans Than I Expected! Who Knew?
This past week, I have spent an exorbitant amount of time on various discussion threads posted on “The Sun”. The online version of “The Sun”, a UK paper, is similar to their tabloid print version. But their discussion threads are not limited to mindless dribble that one would normally expect from a tabloid. That’s because the readers choose their own topics to discuss.
I was originally drawn to a discussion thread about “Israel – An Aggressor State”. It had been started on December 30, 2008 after the most recent Gaza conflict began. There is clearly a media war going on aside from the actual military conflict. The pro-Hamas side was vigilant in their postings. With an 8-hour time difference, it seemed these guys never slept. On every discussion thread that related to Israel, Muslims or the Middle-East conflict, these same guys were posting pro-propaganda for Hamas. Last night a moderator took all of the discussion threads relating to Israel and Muslims down at “The Sun”. So, my recently acquired addiction to “The Sun” discussion threads will be satisfied on my own blog – as it should be.
Here is one of my posts in response to “Those Wacky Iranians Are At It Again”.
I also checked out some discussion threads about the way the British feel towards immigration, illegal immigrants receiving benefits, under-achieving schools, loss of national identity, multi-culturalism, terrorism, the PC police and anti-Christian sentiments.
I had a few surprises. There are a lot of Americans who participate in these discussion threads. In fact it seems that there is a little blog-o-sphere family of Americans who seem to know each other quite well. And the British are more similar to Americans than I would have ever guessed. Reading the discussions about publics schools, the impact of illegal immigrants who receive tax dollar benefits and don’t want to assimilate, anti-Christian sentiments and outrage over public displays of the cross, parents who feel they are being usurped by the public schools. These are all American concerns too. I was expecting, first of all not to see these topics at all, and then if posted a total liberal, leftist bent. Not at all, both Americans and British commenter’s had very traditional, nationalist, patriotic view points.
Here is an example of the beginning of a thread concerning public display of the cross.
Ah yes, I am so reassured that our friends over the pond, ‘will not go quietly into that good night’ of the liberal abyss.

Hmmmmm - Let's see, this topic brings up a lot of bile. Fouad Ajami, Christain Lebanese scholar, once said that radical Islamists display something called belligerent self-pity. Something is used as a pretext for offense or outrage to their tender Islamic sensibilities, and then off they go into paroxysms of rage and violence. A short, very incomplete, list follows. Iranian US Embassy, sovereign territory, was taken and occupied for 444 days. (if Jimmah Carter wasn't such a coward it would have been 4 hours, but that's another story.) Honor Killings (even now in the US), 9/11, Theo Van Gogh, female circumcision, limited rights for women, women as chattel, persecution of Brigitte Gabriel, Oriana Fallaci, Melanie Phillips, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, 5 witnesses to confirm the rape of a women, death to anyone bringing a Bible into Saudi Arabia, religious police, 7/7, Public stoning, Bali bombing, Mumbai, homicide bombers, indoctrinating children to hate non-Muslims, arranged marriages, Madrid bombings, unwillingness to assimilate, beheadings on TV and the internet, US citizen's bodies hanging from a bridge in Fallujah, Palestinian Muslims stealing land from Christian Palestinians, Daniel Pearl, beheadings of Ayat Taariq, Kenneth Bigley, Eugene Armstrong and on and on and on. Of all the violent conflicts on earth, virtually all of them are a result of Muslim blood lust. So, spare me your Islamic piety and superiority complex. We kuffar think Mohammed is a false prophet and don't appreciate you trying to shove Sharia down our throat at the point of a sword or through our own legal systems and the exploitation of political correctness and the lie of multiculturalism. If you want the full-on Sharia experience get the hell out of the modern west and move to Saudi Arabia if you're a Sunni, or Iran if you're a Shiite. You can enjoy your medieval perversion there at your leisure.

Here is an example of the beginning of a thread concerning public display of the cross.
TV bosses have come under fire after an altar cross was moved and hidden inside a church during the filming of a Coronation Street wedding. Rev James Milnes of St Mary's Church in Nether Alderley, Cheshire, is furious the brass piece was placed behind a garish candelabra and artificial flowers for fear it would cause offence to viewers. TV crews used the church in November to film the wedding of Tyrone Dobbs, played by Alan Halsall, and Molly Compton, played by Vicky Binns. Mr Milnes wrote in his monthly parish magazine that Granada Television "had emptied the church of the very thing that makes it a church". Traditional "How can people think it is offensive to see a cross in a church in the same way you would normally see the Koran in a mosque or the Torah in a synagogue? That is the emblem of this faith," he wrote. Mr Milnes, 29, says he will spend Granada's £4,600 fee for using the church to buy a larger silver cross for the altar. "There is a constant attrition to our way of life," he wrote. "You can't say this and you can't say that for fear of offending. Who can we possibly be offending?" A Granada spokeswoman apologised over the decision and said: "We are looking into how and why this happened. "As the Rev Milnes rightly says we chose the church because the characters wanted a traditional religious church wedding. "Covering up the cross was an error and we apologise for any upset."
Ah yes, I am so reassured that our friends over the pond, ‘will not go quietly into that good night’ of the liberal abyss.
