Gordon Brown: “the most cowardly man in Europe”

Well I don’t know if he is or if he isn’t the biggest coward in Europe but Brown deservedthe jibe by Geert Wilders as he was escorted from Heathrow back onto a plane to Holland having been refused entry by our Great Leaders. Now there is a diplomatic row brewing through insulting Holland where Geert is a sitting M.P.

A bad day for freedom of speech, our rights are now firmly exercised only with Islam’s permission.

Dhimmitude here we come.

The only enjoyable thing was watching Lord Ahmed’s increasingly unhinged logic in the T.V. debate with UKIP’s Lord Pearson on Sky News.

All in all a good day for Islam.

Geert Wilders – will he, won’t he get into the UK?

A Dutch MP who called the Koran a “fascist book” says he still plans to travel to the UK despite being banned on public security grounds. Freedom Party MP Geert Wilders was invited to show his controversial film – which links the Islamic holy book to terrorism – in the UK’s House of Lords. But Mr Wilders, who faces trial in his own country for inciting hatred, has been denied entry by the Home Office.

He plans to fly into Heathrow later, saying: “Let’s see what happens.” ‘Offensive’ Mr Wilders’ film Fitna caused outrage across the Muslim world when it was posted on the internet last year.”

Is the Koran a facist book? I don’t know. Never read it. Have no intention of doin’ so…. but this I do know, many grotesque and bloody mass murders have been justified by quoting it.

We have internalized the Fatwa against Salmon Rushdie, but unlike him we have become effective Dhimmi’s to Islamic authority.

This ban is just the latest in a long line of capitulation.

Hi there y’all.

Strange to say but this blog’s hits have continued to prosper (’ish) even since ‘mothballing’ it. Curious indeed.

So it’s going to start up again as a focus for conservative views on international politics with a heart for suffering Christians throughout the world. So please start leaving comments again if you are so inclined, here we go………

Somalia: a Battle Won in the War on Terror. (America, America we dump our prejudices on thee.)

RIGHT TRUTH! FOR A TOP CLASS BLOG ON THE SOMALI CONFLICT CLICK ON THIS!!

UPDATE: Reuters via FreeRepublic -

MOGADISHU (Reuters) – U.S. forces hunting al Qaeda suspects hit four sites in air strikes in southern Somalia on Wednesday, a Somali government source said, as international criticism mounted over Washington’s military intervention.

“As we speak now, the area is being bombarded by the American air force,” the source told Reuters.

UPDATE: 4 Nations involved in Samalia al’Queda Strike.

This is good news. though many sections of the press and the world will play this as America going it alone, this news shows that it is simply not the case. The countries (see below press report) on the Horn of Africa know that having Somalia in the grip of Islam would mean it would pose be a continual threat. Those who want peace must pray for a free and peaceful Somalia in which all peoples of whatever religious faith can hold their head high without fear of being persecuted. That means wishing these four nations God speed!

AIROBI, Kenya – The United States, Ethiopia, the transitional Somalian government and Kenya coordinated land, sea and air operations Tuesday against Al-Qaida operatives and remnants of Somalia’s defeated Islamist militias in a southern corner of the war-ravaged African nation, U.S. and Somalian officials said.

On Radio 5 there was an interview with a Somali. They didn’t say, it but from the duff she was spouting she was obviously a Muslim. Egged on by the presenter she said that she ‘didn’t buy’ the idea that al’Queda was in the south of the country. America had bombed innocent villages as far as she was concerned. America, America we dump our prejudices on thee. America seems always to be in the wrong and here was our beloved BBC floating that line again.

Indeed m ost of the press is negative. That’s why it was good to this article in the Telegraph.

When it comes to prosecuting the worldwide campaign against al-Qa’eda, whether it is in the rugged mountains of Afghanistan or the inhospitable desert terrain of Somalia, the most important virtue a commander can possess is patience.

Tracking an elusive enemy such as Osama bin Laden’s terror organisation is no easy task. While al-Qa’eda’s main priority is to carry out spectacular terror attacks such as the September 11 bombings or the 1998 deadly suicide bomb attacks against the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the organisation invests just as much effort in ensuring that its key operatives escape detection.

This would explain why, after five years of unstinting effort by the US-led military coalition across a truly global stage, Osama bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri, the main pillars of the al-Qa’eda leadership, remain at large, as do many of those responsible for many of the other atrocities that have been committed in the name of militant Islam, whether in Africa or London.

Somalia: U.S. al’Queda Air Strike (Updated).

Update: Breaking News U.K. terrorists among the Islamists. 13.00 GMT.

It has to be said this can hardly be a surprise to anyone with half a brain. Never-the-less proof is newsworthy. 

British terror suspects have been injured or captured in the recent military action against Islamic extremists in Somalia, it has been claimed.

The African country has seen fierce fighting in recent days between Islamist militants and soldiers from Ethiopia and Somalia’s transitional government.

The US is also carrying out air strikes in southern Somalia against Islamic fighters suspected of links with al Qaida. America claims that Somali Islamists sheltered al Qaida operatives linked to the 1998 US embassy bombings in East Africa.

A large number of people have been killed in the raids.

UPDATE:  11.10 GMT from FOX

MOGADISHU, Somalia  —  Two U.S. airstrikes in Somalia killed large numbers of Islamic extremists, government officials and witnesses said Tuesday. The targets were suspects in the bombings of two U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998.

The attacks, by an AC-130 gunship, came after the terror suspects were spotted hiding on a remote island on the southern tip of Somalia, close to the Kenyan border, Somali officials said. The island and a site 250 kilometers (155 miles) north were hit.

It was the first overt military action by the U.S. in Somalia since the 1990s and the legacy of a botched intervention — known as “Black Hawk Down” — that left 18 U.S. servicemen dead.

MOGADISHU – A U.S. air attack on a Somali village occupied by Islamists believed to be sheltering an al Queda suspect has left “many dead bodies”, a Somali government source said on Tuesday.

Yesterday Zot Media News said that the future of the Somali conflict was too hard to predict – though there are plenty of column inches in the MSM devoted to such crystal ball gazing. Yet no-one yesterday could have predicted an American air strike within 24 hours. But it has happened.

Those who have said that Somalia would become an Al Queda stronghold were half right. A moments reflection should have told them that the bloody murderers were already there and advancing their cause with the Islamists.

Yet the world will go banshee (again) that America has had the nerve to strike at an Al Queda target within Somalia’s boarders. The death toll of women and children will be paraded as further proof of America’s destructive policies. Just wait for the U.N. resolutions. No-one ought to get satisfaction that women and children die, but war is war and it it must be pursued with purpose and decisiveness. Collateral damage – the liberals hatethe phrase – is part of war and although it can be reduced it connot be avoided.

But these Islamists are vicious barbarians and force is all that they know. The free world should get behind Ethiopia and the U.S. to crush them with ultimate force and liberate the good people of Somalia so that they can have freedom , an economy and hope for a decent future.
Will the free world do that? Well, I’m not holding my breath. In the meantime it brings us to our knees again in prayer for those who suffer because of the evil that men do.

UPDATE: 10.05 GMT

Last week zot Media quoted Rosemary Righter as offering positive comments on the Somalian conflict, today Martin Fletcher begs to differ

My colleague Rosemary Righter wrote last week that the defeat of Somalia’s Islamic courts by Ethiopian forces was the “first piece of potentially good news in two devastating decades”.

As one of the few journalists who has visited Mogadishu recently, I beg to differ. The good news came in June. That is when the courts routed the warlords who had turned Somalia into the world’s most anarchic state during a 15-year civil war that left a million dead.

Mmmm…Comments anyone?

Somalia: President Returns to Mogadishu – Kenya Takes a Stand.

MOGADISHU - Somali President Abdullahi Yusuf entered Mogadishu on Monday, capping a remarkable turn-around in the capital Islamists ruled for six months until they were ousted before the New Year.

The Kenyan police combed camps on Monday on the northeastern border with Somalia in search for remnants of Somalia’s Supreme Council of Islamic Courts (SCIC), who have fled to Kenya.

As Yusuf entered the city for the first time since taking office in 2004, protected by his soldiers and Ethiopian troops who helped rout the Islamists, he ruled out talks with his foes.

“With regard to holding talks with the courts, this will not happen,” Yusuf told Al Jazeera television in an interview before flying to Mogadishu. “We will crack down on the terrorists in any place around the nation.”

I regret that the origin of the next article was lost -if anyone can shed some light I will gladly attribute it. It certainly picks up on an interesting angle and gives some insight into Kenya’s refusal to allow Islamists to work from the confines of their boarders.

Kenyan authorities said they would expel five members of the Somali transitional parliament, who condemned Ethiopian military operations in Somalia at a recent news briefing.

Police sources said that they have arrested several Islamists, including Abukar Omar, a leader of the Islamic Courts, which were recently routed out of Somalia.

Abukar, a prominent Mogadishu businessman and Islamist ally, was arrested last week with his son while hiding at a friend’s residence in the border town of Liboi.

Kenyan government last week identified 26 members of Somalia’s parliament staying in Kenya who, according to the Kenyan government, are acting against Somalia’s best interests.

Kenyan Foreign Minister Raphael Tuju would not specify what those actions were, but said the legislators must be sent back to Somalia immediately.

“We think it is inappropriate to have members of that government tearing it to pieces from another country,” said Tuju.

“We sincerely believe that, as members of parliament, they should go to their parliament, they should differ in their parliament, they should complain in their parliament,” he added.

How all this will pan out is hard to tell – though there are plenty of op-ed’s out there who think they’ve got handle on Soamolia’s future.

Meanwhile we can only wait and continue to remember eht innocent people caught up in the conflict who do not want Islamic rule nor a return to regional warlords. Many such people are Christians living in fear of their lives simply for professing Christ as their Saviour.

So we can pray. And we ought not to neglect that singular duty.

Brown: I’ll do it my way (W.O.T.)

Gordon Brown vowed yesterday to take on President George W Bush and the Americans over foreign policy as he spelt out plans to break from Tony Blair’s approach to the “war on terror”.

The Chancellor, who is on course to succeed Mr Blair as Prime Minister this summer, made clear he wanted to place Britain’s national interest above the special relationship with Washington.

Brown is an old fashioned socialist and he is no clearly marking out his territory putting clear blue sky between himself and Blair. Those of us Brits who stand alongside America and see the War on Terror as being little less than a fight for western values and insitutions are dismayed but not surprised. His lack of vision, his international myopia is alarming, not least for Israel. He will cuddle up to the Euro-socailists in fraternal cosiness. This is not what is needed at this juncture in history.
