Sheikh and stir

ABC reports
Melbourne Sheikh Omran demands equal sentences for rapists. Death.

One way to cut down the occurrence of rape.
Kill the rapists.
No repeat offenders.


While: ABC also reports:
WA Muslim Abdul Jalil Ahmad backs ‘message’ in Al Hilaly’s speech, says while rape is the man’s fault, women should take preventive measures to avoid being targeted. He says those measures include covering up and being accompanied when outdoors.

So the police keep them covered and shoot to kill any attempt at rape?

And now: 2GB reports SMS alerts to rally Sheik's supporters.
While it's not clear who's organising this – or if it's organised at all – two Muslim community websites carry alerts that the rally is on, and it's reported that text messages are circulating spreading the word.

9/11 lesson - deal with that threat before

One of the lessons of September the 11th is that when this country sees a threat, we must deal with that threat before it fully materializes. If we see a threat, we must take care of that threat. Otherwise, that threat could come to haunt us, to destroy innocent life. I saw a threat in Saddam Hussein. The world saw a threat in Saddam Hussein. Getting rid of Saddam Hussein was the right decision, and the world is better for it.

"Western left's self-hatred"

Beazley will hurt the US alliance at his peril
Gerard Henderson
October 3, 2006
In a recent essay titled The Left and the Jihad, Professor Fred Halliday (who is no barracker for Bush or Blair) has expressed concern that "many groups of the left" appear to see radical Islamism as "exemplifying a new form of international anti-imperialism" which they welcome. Halliday points out that since the formation of the Muslim Brotherhood in 1928, jihadists have targeted the left. This suggests that the Western left's self-hatred is still with us.

"Pearl Harbor ended the era of the dreadnoughts"

Victory At Sea Copyright
(c) 1999 by The Atlantic Monthly Company
David M. Kennedy is the Donald J. McLachlan Professor of History at Stanford University.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941, dramatically heralded the new age of naval combat. Aircraft launched from half a dozen Japanese carriers, operating thousands of miles from home, made quick work of crippling the eight aging U.S. battleships anchored helplessly below them. Though it would take some time to become apparent, Pearl Harbor ended the era of the dreadnoughts. In a few minutes of a Hawaiian Sunday morning a few hundred Japanese pilots enormously widened the arc of naval war, and transformed its very nature. Future sea battles would be fought over distances once unimaginable, and by sailors who never laid eyes on an enemy ship.
