Nietzche: The Tragedy of Modern Man

“God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. Who will wipe this blood off us? With what water could we purify ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we not ourselves become gods simply to be worthy of it? There has never been a greater deed; and whosoever shall be born after us – for the sake of this deed he shall be part of a higher history than all history hitherto.”

I want to leave this up now, but will add comments with a further update.

Nietzche’s statement has been reproduced many times, however all that is remembered is “God is dead,” from that his original “intent” is usually muffled, skewed, misrepresented or unrepresented.

 

New European Fascism – Geert Wilders

According to Geert: “Islam is not a religion, Islam is a totalitarian ideology, stop Muslim immigration to Europe, Freedom of Religion doesn’t apply to Muslims, Muslims already here if they behave must obey laws and assimilate to our rules, if they don’t, if they act criminally, denaturalize them and send them back out of our countries, I have many other SOLUTIONS.”

 

New Accusations of Barack Hussein Obama being Muslim: The case of Taqqiyah-Tree-Jihad

Barack Hussein Plants Tree

The 2008 Presidential election was marred by accusations that Barack Hussein Obama was a “Mooslim,” “Mohammedan” or an “Islamic.”  In response to the accusations, Barack Hussein Obama redundantly pointed out that he had been going to the same Church for almost 20 years and was a committed Christian.  He told Christianity Today, “I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian.”

Media personality Sean Hannity of Fox News was quoted as stating, “Barack hoped that if he kept repeating that he was a Christian it would be enough to extinguish the facts and questions creeping up about his associations and history as a Mooslim but we are uncovering leads in his Islamicness.”

Hannity is referring to new startling evidence that sheds light on the direct link between Barack Hussein Obama and what some call his “Mohammedan nature.”

 

Islam Not to Blame for Bronx Terror Plot, Ahmed Rehab

A piece on the recent Bronx Terror Plot in Huffington Post by Ahmed Rehab. So is this entrapment? Is Islam at fault? Or are there other pathologies and questions at stake here that are not reflected in the media reports?

Islam Not to Blame for Bronx Terror Plot

Say what you will about the recently exposed Bronx Terror Plot, but please, do not insult our intelligence (and your own) by weaving fantasy scenarios of how Islam is somehow to blame for criminalizing the terror suspects who were already career criminals long before their conversions — and who displayed only a rudimentary understanding of Islam thereafter.

 

Comment of the Week

I usually never allow cursing in the comment section, just a rule, but I found this comment from someone called “Brad,” (no doubt a loser living in his mommy’s basement) quite interesting. He left the comment on my post about Pam Geller. Take a gander!

Fuck all you asshole mooslims.  I can’t wait until we nuke your asses into oblivion!!!

Look at this guys email! LOL. Guy has no balls because he would never say this in the face of a Muslim, he hides behind a computer. It seems he is from Herndon, Va.

Also, this predilection to want to nuke Muslims is a hallmark of Islamophobes:

Steven Emerson: Profile of a Career Hatemonger

An excellent expose by CAIR-Chicago Anti-Hate Center of Steven Emerson, a leading Islamophobe and his attempts to cast aspersions on American Muslims and in this case Civil Rights Director Christina Abraham.

Career Hatemonger Steven Emerson Enraged by CAIR-Chicago’s Positive Social Engagement

Notorious Islamophobe Steven Emerson is at it again.

This time the source of his wrath is Christina Abraham, CAIR-Chicago’s Civil Rights Director.

In a hit piece entitled, “Is This Who We Want Representing U.S. Interests Abroad?” published on his fluff website, “The Investigative Project on Terrorism,” Emerson shows once again why his website had better be called, “The Investigative Project on Mainstream American Muslim Organizations.”

The simple fact is that while Emerson desperately tries to run himself off as a “terrorism expert,” a cursory view of his website quickly reveals that, all too-often, the targets of his so-called investigations and reports are not terrorist groups but mainstream American Muslim organizations like CAIR, MPAC, ISNA, MAS, etc.

 

Soy Palestino

I love Cuba and I love Palestine, in this great documentary from Aljazeera they bring both together in an unlikely but beautiful way.

 

European Fascist/Anti-Muslim Party Rapes Translation of Arabic Du’a (prayer) by Tariq Ramadan

I came across this site called EuropeNews which has as its motto “No Tolerance for Intolerance – No Apology for Being Free.” Now off the bat this site seemed a bit strange because they felt the need to verbalize this statement, and sounded a lot like the speel of the anti-Muslim and Islamophobia crowd. Low and behold it is a site affiliated with the VVD and other European neo-Fascist and Nationalist groups.

Anyway they had a little piece where the VVD complained about this du’a that Muslim scholar Tariq Ramadan gave from what seems like must have been the 90’s. They also provide an atrocious translation which prompted me to do another translation even though I have scant time for it, but it pains me to see Arabic abused this way.

Fascist European Party’s (Incomplete/Misleading) Translation:

 

Real Debate About Faith Are Drowned Out by the Atheists’ Foghorn Voices

An interesting article that explores the New Atheists movement made up of the likes of Hitchens and Dawkins and their shrill fundamentalist contribution to the discussion of Faith today. Also touches on the decline of Christianity in Britian and some of the voices that are proposing a different path than the New Atheists.

By Madeleine Bunting, Guardian UK

This is Holy Week. It started yesterday with Palm Sunday and continues through Holy Thursday, Good Friday and culminates this Sunday with Easter Day. One can no longer assume most people will be aware of this, let alone the events these days mark; in a recent UK poll, only 22% could identify what Easter was celebrating. What other system of belief has collapsed at such spectacular speed as British Christianity? One can only presume that the New Atheists are organising a fabulous party to celebrate. Richard Dawkins could stump up for the crates of champagne out of his sumptuous royalties from The God Delusion.

But I’m curious as to how many of the country’s finest minds would join the celebrations. Increasingly, one hears a distaste for the polemics of the New Atheist debate and its foghorn volume, and how it has drowned out any other kind of conversation about religion: what it is, the loss of it, whether it matters, and what happens in a post-religious society?

 

Gates of Vienna vs. The World vs. LGF

Peace to all those who might regularly check out this blog. I have been inactive as far as posting because as Lennon said “Life happens.” I have been thinking about a lot of topics and issues and hopefully will be back soon. 

In the meantime I want everyone to check out this new site that I have joined and will be contributing to: Gates of Vienna vs. The World vs. LGF.  It’s spearheaded by Lex, the Agent of Chaos and The Sphinx who take a satrical look at the absurd world of Anti-Muslim/Islamophobe sphere.  In the words of Lex most of the time the “Posts just write themselves.” LOL.

Recently we’ve been putting Muslims Against Sharia on blast for being a Pam Geller and Joe Kaufman front. Its days are numbered, I wonder how much money they made in the meantime? Rev. Sutter has done a great job in compiling and detailing data on the absurd group: Follow up to (Non)Muslims Against Sharia .
