New in the news!!!
As I sit here at work, watching over a piece of machinery flying in space with a few people in it, I realize that I have totally slacked off in my posting. Therefore, I have decided to create a post called "This Week in the News". If you aren't sure what it will be about, then I suggest you get a big medieval catapult, wheel it on over to a really high wall and catapult yourself into it, cause you're useless (That's actually how my one friend wants to die...he says it would be hilarious. And, to be honest, it would).
Anyways, I will try to get my news post to you readers by Friday, with (maybe) daily commentary on news items. I'll tell you right now, my main sources will be CNN.com and WND.com. I think they are both worthy. I will also, from time to time (weekly), include an "interesting thing of the 'insert unit of time' " in the spirit of Interesting Thing of the Day!
Ok, enough explanation. I'll start this one off with news from today.

This is an interesting article from WND co0ncerning another airport incident and a religious group, if that's what you want to call them.
Airport adds foot basins for Muslim cabbies
This won't take very long, I promise...
In the despicable world of lawsuits that we unfortunately live in, something as harmless as a pagan symbol, a "Christmas" tree can spout such controversy as to almost force a lawsuit. A Rabbi, back during CHRISTMAS was offended that there were Christmas trees in the airport and not menorahs. Boo fucking hoo, in my opinion. But this guy decided that he was going to press the issue and "demand" that the trees be taken down or he would sue. How fucking often does this happen now a days. Some "hurt victim" threatens to sue over something as simple as a Christmas tree or a fucking Nativity scene. The damn ACLU even gets involved. Our society, through thoughtful media subversion, has been "de-balled" and is no longer willing to stand up for what they believe in. I pray for my children if things don't change.
But I digress...an airport is public property, and more importantly, federal property (airside). Here's my problem: How can a public domain be host to something specifically intended for use of ONE specific religious group. Where is the ACLU on this? How come there is no outrage at the hands of the very people that would cut down a Christmas tree in their airport. Why are these "special interest" groups not all over this story? And more importantly, why the fuck are we specifically going out of our way to cater to a religion that has done nothing but cause grief and death for 1400 years straight?
Beware the Enemy within my fellow Americans. I have warned about this in the past. Beware.

Saudis arrest 172 in terror plot involving planes
This struck me as amusing in a twisted sort of way. I'd like you to look at a few links before I say what I have to say:
PBS Frontline: Saudi Time Bomb?
Washington Post.com: This is a Saudi Textbook. This is a great article on the Saudi Textbooks that are distributed in Saudi Arabia and ALL OVER THE WORLD!
imc India: Saudi Textbooks Teach Hate
NPR: Saudi Textbooks Still Teach Hate, Group Says
Ok, so you've read those articles. Should I even go on to why this situation in Saudi Arabia is ironic?? Ok, I will....
Saudi Arabi is a haven for Wahhabism, considered the most ultra-conservative branch of Islam. Wahhabism, or Salafism as PC bitches would have you call it, is a largely Sunni movement. From Wikipedia, "Wahhabism differs from both the Sunni and Shiite branches of Islam in its denial of the legitimacy of other forms of Islam. Whereas other madhhab (Muslim schools of thought) recognize the legitimacy of other madhhab despite points of disagreement, Wahhabism considers illegitimate these other schools. Instead, Wahhabism considers as non-believers Muslims who do not adhere to Wahhabism. Al-Wahhab, the founder of Wahhabism, went so far as to declare Jihad against fellow Muslims. Wahhabis see their role as a movement to restore Islam from what they perceive to be innovations, superstitions, deviances, heresies and idolatries." As you can see, our friendly allies are the wolf in sheep's clothing. Fifteen of the Nineteen terrorist cowards that carried out the 9/11 attacks on America were Saudis. Big surprise.
This discovery prompted the US to consider its relationship with Saudi Arabia (SA). The US decided that its best course of action would be to demand that SA school books should be changed because of the ritualistic indoctrination that occurs in the classroom as early as first grade. Our ally SA is essentially the largest breeding ground and nurturer for the school of thought that most all terrorists are students of. Osama Bin Laden, a Saudi himself, preaches this form of Islam.
What we have seen in the passing years since 9/11 is constant lying by the Saudis. We are told things are changed in their school system only to find that nothing has been corrected. We allow these handbooks for terrorists to be imported into OUR OWN DAMN COUNTRY for dispersion to almost 80% of the Mosque schools that are present in the US (source: Robert Spencer's "The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam"). How can our leaders stand by while the young Moslem children in our own country are indoctrinated with the same venomous preaching that collapsed the World Trade Center towers.
None of the previous is what is ironic about this situation. However, someone with a moderate intelligence can make the connection now. You have a Moslem state which preaches a terroristic form is Islam (one that is widely prescribed to) falling victim to the very form of terrorism it promotes. I think it's damn funny. Because the Saudis have a relationship with a doggish Western nation like the United States, they are targeted. You have an organization, al Qaeda, which is built on Wahhabism, trying to destroy the very nation that indoctrinated it with its terror roots. Can it get more ironic?
You have made your own bed, Saudi Arabia. Perhaps it is time for the United States to end our agreements with the Saudis and move away from relations with the worlds leading manufacturer of Terrorists.
