Barack Hussein Obama ‘Claims Victory’


THE TELEGRAPH: Barack Obama claimed a "big victory" on Super Tuesday after winning 13 states and establishing a slender lead over Hillary Clinton in the number of delegates who will pick the Democratic candidate for President of the United States.

"Last night we won more delegates and we won more states in every region of this country," he told supporters in Chicago after an agonisingly close contest in which more than 10 million Democrats voted.

"We won big states and small states. We won red states and blue states and swing states." 

The Clinton campaign claimed it was in the driving seat by counting super-delegates - party bigwigs who can choose who they back - who had made an early commitment to the former First Lady. 

Mr Obama insisted he was "the underdog" despite claiming victory and a delegate lead.

"Senator Clinton is a formidable opponent," he said. "She’s got a familiar and well-appreciated name. She’s got a political machine honed over two decades or so.

"From my perspective, this makes her the front runner in every single contest."

In an extraordinary and dramatic night, Mrs Clinton won eight states, including the big prize of California, and the overall popular vote by a single percentage point. Mr Obama swept 13 states.

But the two candidates are now neck and neck in a battle that will continue well into the spring and possibly even to the Democratic convention in August when the delegates meet to pick their candidate. Barack Obama 'ahead of Hillary Clinton' >>> By Toby Harnden in Chicago

Al-Qaida Video

DIE PRESSE: Mit Pistolen, Gewehren und Granaten bedrohen die Kinder Erwachsene und stürmen ein Haus: Der Fernsehsender al-Arabija zeigte ein Video, das angeblich von al-Qaida stammt.

Die Kinder auf dem Video sind vielleicht zehn bis zwölf Jahre alt. Sie tragen Sturmmasken, Gewehre, Pistolen, Handgranaten und Granatwerfer. Ein Junge mit einem Sprengstoffgürtel ist zu sehen. Später stürmen die Burschen ein Haus und halten den Erwachsenen Pistolen an den Kopf. Der arabische Fernsehsender al-Arabija hat das Video ausgestrahlt, das angeblich von al-Qaida stammt und die Ausbildung von Kindersoldaten zeigt. Al-Qaida-Video: Kinder als Terroristen >>>

DAILY EXPRESS: A BRITISH preacher told hundreds of young Muslims it was their duty to fight UK troops in Iraq, a court heard yesterday.

Trevor Brooks urged them to help buy guns and bombs for insurgents there, instead of giving cash to charity.



The cleric, also known as Abu Izzadeen and Omar Brooks, said the Black Watch regiment was in Fallujah to rape and kill women and children, Kingston Crown Court in south-west London heard.



He told the crowd at Regent’s Park mosque in central London to join the insurgency in Iraq. He said they must choose between the camp of Allah, whose “prince” was Osama Bin Laden, or Satan’s camp led by George Bush and Tony Blair.
 


In a video of the November 2004 rant played in court Brooks, 32, of Leyton, east London, was heard saying: “We are terrorists – terrify the enemies of Allah.” He added: “The jihad is all our responsibility on every single Muslim.” Cleric ‘Incited Muslims to Kill Western Soldiers’ >>> By Padraic Flanagan

Security Teaching Moment

WASHINGTON TIMES: Lost amid the national distractions of a Super Bowl and Super Tuesday, the clock is running down on an immense sale of precision-guided munitions and other advanced weapons to Saudi Arabia and several of the smaller oil-rich Gulf States the Saudis dominate.

Unless two-thirds majorities in both houses of Congress adopt resolutions of disapproval by Feb. 14, these transactions will proceed. All other things being equal, it is a safe bet the Saudis will augment their already vast arsenal with these new American arms.

After all, many in official Washington recognize the growing aggressiveness of Iran is a threat to U.S. interests in the region — from Iraq to Israel to the flow of oil through the Persian Gulf. Even before Bush administration efforts to prevent Tehran's Islamofascist mullahs from obtaining nuclear weapons were undone by a politicized National Intelligence Estimate, the step of up-arming rival nations was an obvious move. In the aftermath of that NIE, it became the only game in town.

Thanks moreover to the Saudis' considerable influence in U.S. corridors of power — cultivated over many years and at a cost of untold millions of dollars spent on lavish retainers, trips and other inducements for politicians, former officials and lawyer-lobbyists — the latest weapon sale has been greased like one of the Gulfies' petrodollar-powered "sovereign wealth" acquisitions. Apart from 100 or so mostly Democratic congressmen who have declared their opposition to such further arming of the Saudis, scarcely a discouraging word has been heard about the whole matter.

President Bush's latest sop to the Saudis nonetheless provides something valuable — what educators call a "teaching moment."

The notion that the United States' vital interests will be served by providing the Saudis and their minions with billions of dollars in additional arms fundamentally rests on the proposition that Saudi Arabia is indeed a "reliable ally." Would anybody in their right mind propose such sales if we had reason to believe they might be used against us — either by the original owners or by a successor government? Presumably not.

Moral Judgement

SOCIAL SENSE: For quite some time, I’ve been bothered by the fact there are people migrating to the United States, and who after living here for the required period of time, petition the United States to become naturalized citizens. Then, at the naturalization ceremony where every applicant swears an oath of loyalty to our Constitution, immigrants promise to be citizens of good repute, joining with us as full members of our society, enjoying the benefits of freedom, and pledging to defend America against all enemies, both foreign and domestic. Subsequently, many of these people begin working in opposition to our society of laws. Some of them demonstrate actively, others are covert in their work to refute their voluntary obligation to obey our secular laws, claiming that their religious law demands their first devotion.

Clinton Narrowly Ahead as Obama Fails to Clinch Center Ground

SPIEGELONLINE INTERNATIONAL: Hillary Clinton's narrow lead over Barack Obama shows that the center ground of American society is shrinking. She is finding it increasingly hard to clinch majorities. The old campaign adage that many minorities don't make a majority still applies. But for how long?

Barack Obama has powerful allies. The Kennedy Clan has lent him its halo. The media are banging his drum. Young people have lifted him to cult status with their applause.

But Barack Obama also has a powerful opponent he has so far been unable to beat: the middle ground of American society. The majority of that middle ground is still refusing to follow his message of change and hope. Converted into power, the most important currency of politics, that means that the senator from Illinois is strong -- but not strong enough -- to topple Hillary Clinton. She's ahead in the fight for the Democratic nomination, but her lead is narrowing. Clinton Narrowly Ahead as Obama Fails to Clinch Center Ground >>> By Gabor Steingart

Israel Hasbara Committee: Overview of Leading News

ISRAEL HASBARA COMMITTEE: 1. Food and fuel supplies, cigarettes, cola, cement, mattresses and various and sundry other purchases were carted back to Gaza from Egypt during the recent border breach between the neighboring countries. Other commodities, not so harmless, were also transferred into the Strip. Yuval Diskin, head of Israel's domestic intelligence said Sunday, 3 February 2008, "massive" amounts of sophisticated weaponry had also been brought into Gaza during the prolonged breach of its border with Egypt. He calculated the transported weapons to include long-range rockets, anti-tank and anti-aircraft missiles and other rocket-manufacturing materials. Diskin also warned the open borders had allowed the return of many terrorists from Iran, Syria and Egypt. He said these people who were trained in Iran and other places would likely contribute to the improvement of terrorist activities in Gaza. (Sources: Yahoo News/IHC)

2. Pausing for glimpses into the encroachment of radical Islam in the UK, realizing how rapidly it is changing the face of a Western society disposed to accommodate rather than combat it, should serve as a mammoth warning to other nations. British organizations including those of health, welfare, education and national security are kowtowing to Muslim demands in ways that will eventually affect not only the integrity and character of their own nation but serve as examples to Islam as to what can be accomplished, given time and persistence, in many Western societies. Israel has been the proverbial “canary in the coal mine” for decades, saying what we are dealing with in the Jewish nation in terms of Islamic coercion, violence and terrorism is coming your way - stand strong against it. (Source: IHC)

3. Just wait until UK tax payers get a hold of this: Although bigamy is a crime in Britain, UK lawmakers have recently decided husbands with multiple wives may claim extra welfare benefits. This means polygamous marriages will now be recognized formally by the state, so long as the weddings took place in countries where the arrangement is legal. This latest ruling, of course, will be of greatest gain to Muslim men with multiple wives. To accommodate these Islamic family overlords, new UK guidelines will allow income support for all of the wives to be paid directly into the husband's bank account. Also polygamists may be eligible for additional housing assistance and council tax benefits to reflect the larger property needed for his family. The ruling could cost taxpayers millions of pounds. Such is the ongoing fruit of accommodating Islamic cultural/religious norms and demands. In the not too distant future UK citizens will wonder if they are living in the good old British homeland or in new Islamabad. (Sources: UK Telegraph/IHC)

4. Some Asians - “Asian” now being politically correct terminology for UK Muslims - in the police force and in British Government jobs have been accused of obstructing the crackdown against so-called honor killings. “Asian” officials have been charged with failing to protect and assist women desperate to escape abusive situations and arranged marriages. Even worse they are reportedly encouraging harsh penalties for those whom they believe to be breaking Islamic cultural and religious bans. In some cases terrified victims seeking official help have been tracked by a network of “Asian” males working in Government and social services offices. Reports of such betrayal are according to a study written by the think-tank Social Cohesion. Equally as sad, non-“Asian” officials and police officers are scared of acting against families who abuse their relatives for fear of being accused of racism, the report says. (Sources: Dhimmi Watch/IHC)

5. Or how about this story from the UK medical world? Muslim medical students are refusing to obey new compulsory hygiene rules required to stop the spread of deadly infections because they say it is against their religion. They object to removing their arm coverings during surgery and to rolling up their sleeves when washing their hands because, according to Islam, such actions are immodest. Documents from Birmingham University reveal some students would prefer to quit the course rather than expose their arms and warn the issue could lead to legal action. Hygiene experts said this week no exceptions should be made on religious grounds. One doctor suggested Muslim women should not choose medicine as a career if they feel unable to abide by the guidelines everyone else has to follow. But the Islamic Medical Association insisted that covering all the body in public, except the face and hands, was a basic tenet of Islam. An association spokesman said one idea might be to produce long, sterile, disposable gloves which go up to the elbows. His suggestion is another instance of how to comply with, rather than resist, Islamic codes being imposed upon host countries that do not embrace such dogma. (Sources: UK Telegraph/IHC)

6. A senior European Commissions official responsible for combating racism and antisemitism in Europe last week claimed nearly half of all antisemitic incidents throughout Europe originate from radical Islamic elements. He said his assessment was based on European Union reports. The information was conveyed in a recent meeting with Minister for Diaspora Affairs, Isaac Herzog. Responsible for coordinating government activities in combating antisemitism at the cabinet level, Herzog told media sources it was not new that a large percentage of antisemitic incidents were being linked to radical Islam. He continued European governments are responding to this "aggressively," including educating Muslim imams throughout the Continent on European values, principles of democracy and the rights of women. European and international institutions are also beginning to respond to antisemitic discourse through education, according to the Minister. This has been recently observed in Germany: Education officials have authorized use of a new comic book throughout the country’s school systems to instruct lower reading level students with facts surrounding the Nazi-imposed Jewish Holocaust and to combat Holocaust denial.

Beware: “Free” Medical Care Will Kill You – On Purpose!

CANADA FREE PRESS: The great debate on medical care is taking place in this year’s presidential campaign. Much is made of the fact that care costs too much and that government isn’t doing enough to provide coverage for the poor and elderly. Be careful - you may regret ever-encouraging government - controlled medicine.

Case in point, this report from England (Don’t treat the old and unhealthy, say doctors) where full government health care is “provided” free to every citizen. For years, free market advocates like myself have had to endure lectures from our little socialist friends about the glories of “free” health care. We keep pointing out that nothing is free - and now the folks in England may be paying for that health care with their lives - literally.

When government gets overburdened and revenues don’t keep up with all the grand plans of a horde of politicians, someone has to feel the pain. Today, England’s treasury can’t keep up with the massive costs of health care. So the bureaucrats, such fiscally responsible folks - just serving the people, you understand - have decided the best way to cut costs is to stop providing health care to those who are too old or those who leave “unhealthy lives.” Of course, government gets to decide who they are.

It’s important to note here that the reason health care cost so much today is because government got involved in health care in the first place. It mostly started for the United States back in the 1960’s under Lyndon Johnson’s “compassionate” policy of universal health care. From that time a visit to the doctor went from costing a few dollars to hundreds, affordable only through insurance payments. It’s no coincidence that the quality of health care also started to go down as the costs soared. Socialized medicine does not work. Period.

Multiculturalism Is No Longer a Spectator Sport

CANADA FREE PRESS: Multiculturalists can be likened to the hypocritical dilettantes who visit Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, gush over the Amish lifestyle and then return home to their cell phones and hummers.

The Amish are quaint if they can be safely confined to a theme park. But what if they were to multiply a million fold to burst across the land and lever legislatures to impose their ways? One might recall the ordeal of the citizens of Antelope, Oregon in the 1980s when 7,000 cult followers of the “Baghwan”, the Rajneeshees, invaded Wasco County and took over the town council to raise havoc. 


In the Vancouver I knew, people of British origin made up 65% of the population, while just 5% were classified as Asian. I recall that those of us who were “British” were rather proud of the 35% who were not. We thought that they added “spice” to our lives, and especially to our cuisine. We were, in the 1960s, proto-typical “multiculturalists” before the word was coined. And like the Amish, that 35% was considerate enough, for the most part, to stay out of our neighbourhoods and live in designated parts of town. “Multiculturalism” was envisaged really as just a spectator sport. Drop in and visit somebody exotic, then go home where it is safe and comfortable. 
 


But suddenly, following the policy movement in 1966 toward immigration from “non-traditional” sources, and the looming loss of Hong Kong to the Chinese Communists, Vancouver saw a demographic shift of dramatic proportions. In little over two decades the British share of the city’s population fell from 65% to 25% while the Asian share skyrocketed from 5% to 25%. An ugly nickname emerged for the town: “Hongcouver”. The mayor preferred the politically correct euphemism: “A world within a city.” Now 38% of city residents are foreign-born, second only to Toronto at 44%. 
 


It is one thing to add “spice” to your plate. It is another to dump the whole two kilogram bag of pepper on it. As superficial and innocuous as multiculturalism initially appeared to be, it set in motion forces that will be difficult to control. Once the number of foreign-born reaches a critical mass, concessions to them no longer are a matter of generosity and tolerance but necessity. The more Muslims that populate a Western nation, for example, the more difficult it will be to say no to them in questions that matter. 
 


When the Swedes opened up their homogeneous Nordic society to mass immigration from outside Scandinavia, some decades ago, they also let the multicultural genie out of the bottle. Now 17% of the Swedish population have an immigrant background and over half of immigrants come from beyond Europe. This seemingly marginal percentage gave them the leverage to persuade the Swedish government to dis-establish the Lutheran Church, even though 78% follow that denomination. The ethnic tail does not have to be very long to wag the majoritarian dog. 
 


Immigration can accelerate growth at a pace beyond the ability of the host culture to fully comprehend it or react to it in time. In just twenty years the Muslim population in Canada more than doubled to 600,000 in 2001. In the ten years preceding that date, it leapt by 129% so that the number of Muslims surpassed the number of Jews in the country. By 2017 they are projected to reach nearly a million and half in number. What happens when they begin to throw their weight around? What is happening now? 
 


The Iranian Muslims of North Vancouver some years ago were bold enough to ask North Vancouver council to require the local swimming pool to change its dress code to ban bikinis. In another ten years, with another 10,000 Muslims in the district, will council have the will to resist their petition? Why weren’t they willing or able to revoke the taxi-cab licence of the company whose Muslim driver refused a ride to blind man because his guide dog, was, according to the Koran, “unclean”.

Candidates Accused of ‘Linking Islam with Terrorism’

HUMAN EVENTS: Last week, a reporter of the Kuwait News Agency accused Sen. John McCain and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee of “linking Islam with terrorism as a tool to scare up support among US voters, an election style experts describe as ‘shameful.” But in her story, Heather Yamour invokes only one “expert” -- a Far-Left professor.

Shameful style? Yes, if measured by Islamic standards and not those of American politics and free speech. Last Monday it was reported that the British government has drawn up a new handbook for government officials that forbids them to use phrases like “Islamist extremism” or “jihadi-fundamentalist” -- instead, police and others must refer to “violent extremism” and “criminal murderers or thugs,” so as to avoid giving the impression that anything Islamic is involved in, er, Islamic terrorism.

But over on this side of the pond, some of the presidential candidates haven’t gotten the message. They somehow still think their First Amendment rights exist.

Mitt Romney has referred to “jihadism” and “violent, radical Islamic fundamentalism” as “this century’s nightmare,” and has warned that the jihadists want to “unite the world under a single Jihadist caliphate.” Yamour took exception to Mike Huckabee’s (“an ordained Baptist minister”!) statement that Islamo-fascism was “the greatest threat this country has ever faced.” She even bristled at John McCain’s declaration that “I’m not interested in trading with Al-Qaeda.” Apparently the PC police, eager as they are to accommodate easily wounded Muslim sensibilities, will soon have us referring to Osama bin Laden’s network as the “anti-Islamic group,” in the spirit of UK Home Secretary Jacqui Smith’s recent designation of, uh, Islamic terrorism as “anti-Islamic.” Candidates Accused of 'Linking Islam with Terrorism' >>> By Robert Spencer

The Maharishi Mahesh Yogi Has Died

THE TELEGRAPH: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the Indian guru to the Beatles and millions of meditators, has died at his home in the Dutch town of Vlodrop, a spokesman said.

"He died peacefully at about 7 p.m.," said Bob Roth, a spokesman for the Transcendental Meditation movement which the Maharishi founded and which introduced the West to a Hindu practice of mind control, once dismissed as hippie mysticism but which gradually gained medical respectability.

Mr Roth said the cause of death was yet to be established but it appeared to be "natural causes, his age." The Maharishi was believed to be 91.

The most celebrated and famous of the 1960s spiritual gurus, the Maharishi drew in many high profile celebrities to his Transcendental Meditation movement. These included the Beach Boys, singer-songwriter Donovan, Clint Eastwood and avant-garde film maker, David Lynch.

But the most high profile followers were the Beatles, who spent time on a retreat in India in the late 1960s. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, guru to Beatles, dies >>> By Ben Rooney

The Queen is Angered by Prince Andrew’s Attack on the White House

THE TELEGRAPH: The Duke of York has angered the Queen and senior politicians with his extraordinary attack on the White House on the eve of his trade mission to the United States.

Downing Street and the Foreign Office were also dismayed by the timing of his comments so close to the Super Tuesday primaries.

The duke's criticism, in a newspaper interview, of President Bush's post-war strategy for Iraq demolished the protocol that members of the Royal Family refrain from public comment on sensitive international and political issues.

In the interview, timed to mark the start of his 10-day mission to the US in his role as a British trade envoy, he said that there were "occasions when people in the UK would wish that those in responsible positions in the US might listen and learn from our experiences".

The aftermath of the Iraq conflict fuelled a "healthy scepticism" towards what is said in Washington, and a feeling of "why didn't anyone listen to what was said and the advice that was given?"

The remarks caused astonishment in Whitehall. The Prime Minister's official spokesman declined to be drawn but both Downing Street and the Foreign Office were irritated.

A senior Whitehall source said: "The remarks are not just unhelpful but the timing could not be much worse as the Super Tuesday primaries unfold.

"If Iraq had been a big issue in those elections his remarks could have been turned into a major diplomatic incident. He of all people should know that."

The Queen, who always studiously avoids politically sensitive subjects, was unhappy at the controversy, according to royal sources. One said: "Of course he should not have strayed into that area." Prince Andrew angers Palace with US attack >>> By Andrew Pierce

DAILY MAIL: Wearing matching leather jackets and jeans, and with dark hair flowing over their shoulders, they stroll hand-in-hand through Rome.

No, not a couple of ageing rockers. This is Osama bin Laden's son and his British wife on their self-proclaimed mission to promote world peace.

Omar bin Laden, who at 27 is barely half the age of six-times-married Cheshire grandmother Jane Felix-Browne, looked ill at ease as they took in the tourist sights.

After having their photograph taken at the Colosseum and shopping at designer boutiques, the unlikely couple were interviewed on Italian television about their role as "peace ambassadors".

Omar, who claims to have had no contact with his infamous father since before the September 11 attacks, believes the Al Qaeda chief is still alive.

"I do not believe my father is dead, otherwise I would have known it - the world would have known it," he said.

A practising Muslim, he also spoke of his desire to meet Pope Benedict XVI. "But I have been told that it is not easy." Mr and Mrs Bin Laden: Rockers in Rome hoping for peace and a meeting with the Pope >>> By James Tozer

Slouching Toward Dhimmocracy (Part 4)

Photobucket
Photo of Melanie Phillips courtesy of Google Images

THE SPECTATOR –Melanie Phillips: I have previously commented on the government’s craven decision to call Islamic extremism by everything except its proper name, resulting in the Home Secretary’s Orwellian description of it as ‘anti-Islamic’. Today the Guardian reports on a manual of state censorship now issued by the Home Office which enshrines this doctrine of institutionalised deception:

Reflecting the government's decision to abandon the ‘aggressive rhetoric’ of the so-called war on terror, the guide tells civil servants not to use terms such as Islamist extremism or jihadi-fundamentalist but instead to refer to violent extremism and criminal murderers or thugs to avoid any implication that there is an explicit link between Islam and terrorism. It warns those engaged in counter-terrorist work that talk of a struggle for values or a battle of ideas is often heard as a ‘confrontation/clash between civilisations/cultures’. Instead it suggests that talking about the idea of shared values works much more effectively.

It shows that the government is adopting a new sophistication in its approach to counter-terrorism, based on the realisation that it must ‘avoid implying that specific communities are to blame’ if it is to enable communities to challenge the ideas of violent extremists robustly… ‘This is not about political correctness, but effectiveness - evidence shows that people stop listening if they think you are attacking them.’

‘A new sophistication’, eh? I’d call it a new sophistry. As I recorded last year in my book Londonistan, the police have long been avoiding the I or M words, referring instead to ‘international terrorism’ among other euphemisms. Since the police themselves are in despair about the extreme paucity of information about I****** terrorism being volunteered to them from within the M***** community, the strategy would hardly seem to demonstrate ‘effectiveness’. Talking about ‘shared values’ amounts to no more than meaningless platitudes if it is forbidden to talk about the ideology which seeks to supplant them. That ideology can only be defeated if its characteristics are talked about frankly, and that cannot be done if the entire subject is prohibited. Fanaticism cannot be fought if people refuse even to name what they are fighting. Slouching towards dhimmocracy (4) >>> By Melanie Phillips

Islam: Why We (Muslims) Want to Kill You

Please note that Walid Shoebat proposes the isolation of Muslims. This is exactly what I proposed in my book, The Dawning of a New Dark Age! In my book, I called for an ‘Iron Veil’ to be dropped between us and the Islamic world, especially the Middle East. Henry Kissinger, too, has suggested that the Muslim world should be contained. ‘Isolating’ the Muslim world, dropping an ‘Iron Veil’, or ‘containing’ Islam all amount to the same thing. - ©Mark
