Flush prosperity down the drain, rinse with a little derp, and you're home free
Alabama, Job-creation, Kansas, missouri, municipal courts, Sam Brownback, Scott Walker, tax cuts, Tax policy
A couple of days ago Digby drew my attention to Paul Krugman's definition of the term "derp":
Derp" is a term borrowed from the cartoon "South Park" that has achieved wide currency among people I talk to, because it's useful shorthand for an all-too-obvious feature of the modern intellectual landscape: people who keep saying the same thing no matter how much evidence accumulates that it's completely wrong.
Based on that definition, many of you may notice that there's lots of examples of derpiness around SMP in the past few days as well. I allude to all the posts about the doings of Kansas Governor Brownback and the economic disaster that he has created in Kansas with his tax-cuts for the wealthy friends of the GOP (see here, here, and here). Nevertheless, in spite of the emergency created by epic budget shortfalls and ranking 44th in job creation this year, there are those who persist in their embrace of derp, claiming that the "Kansas experiment" has been at least a moderate success, or, given time, will succeed colossally.
Notable among Kansas-disaster deniers is billionaire Rex Sinquefield who set out to buy himself enough compliant politicians to take Missouri down the same road. Sinquefield wants the Kansas experiment to be successful so badly that he doesn't scruple to re-engineer the facts as he did in a recent Forbes Magazine article. Of course maybe that's an example of plain garden-variety dishonesty rather than derp.
Sinquefield's dollars though have had their effect on many of the Republican members of the Missouri legislature who passed their own gift to the very well-heeled, S.B. 509, last year. The standard rationale for ignoring what similar cuts did to Kansas: it'll take more time for the positive effects of the Kansas tax-cuts to be felt. In other words, unless you belong to the intrinsically deserving 1%, you should suffer now since we've heard that there'll be pie in the sky someday. Maybe. This is classical derp, folks.
The same kind of derpiness makes Scott Walker a viable Republican presidential candidate. Walker cut taxes for Wisconsin corporations and the wealthy by almost $2 billion dollars over his tenure, and, in spite of trying to pay for the cuts on the backs of the poor and middle class via massive cuts in education, other public spending, and tax "reforms" that cost the poor and seniors, he is facing a $283 million budgetary shortfall this year alone. He also failed to create more than half the jobs he promised would follow his tax-cuts.
How can we still regard the Republican economic philosophy as financially fiscally responsible when it leads a governor to put his state into debt default as Walker has done? What responsible, clear-thinking individual could even entertain the thought that after destroying the prosperity and endangering the public well-being of Wisconsin, Walker should be entrusted with the keys to the White House? But hey, he's still singing the same tune and he won re-election. Derp at its best.
Examples of red-state tax-cutting failure abound. Most recently, we've read about how Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindall and his Louisiana legislative cohorts are begging Grover Norquist, instigator of the GOP endorsed anti-tax pledge, to let them off the hook so that they can salvage the Louisiana economy from the effects of their tax-cuts.
Want another example? Here in Missouri we've recently been learning about how the municipal courts have been used to generate revenue for small jurisdictions that would be unable to pay the bills otherwise. But what about a whole state that works on a similar principle? I'm talking about Albama here:
AL.com points out some of the examples of costs that are now paid for by court fees, not tax revenue: "In Chambers County, drug offenders pay into the fire and rescue fund. In Madison County, since 2000 fees for serving court papers have paid for county employees to get a raise. In Lawrence County, court costs help fund the county historical commission, so ostensibly future generations can learn about a time when Alabama adequately funded its court system."
The State of Alabama has become so dependent on money extracted from increased court fees that, in 2014, Cleburne County officials were apoplectic when they realized that construction on nearby I-20 had cut traffic tickets in half.
The result? Working class people are paying for the cost of giving tax cuts to the wealthier residents of these states.
That last sentence? It's true about Kansas, Wisconsin, Missouri, and red states everywhere. What allows this situation not only to persist but to become even more prevalent? Which is to say, how does the wrecking crew get re-elected? Easy-peasy. Misinformation: think Fox news, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, spin and outright lies from elected officials. Deflection: steer the conversation to abortion, guns and gays (did it ever occur to you that Obama took so much heat for a similar observation because it hit too close to home?). Fear: ISIS is coming, or Sharia law, or the U.N jack-booted troops. And last, but not least: derp: if you don't wanna believe the facts, don't; if they're inconvenient, disregard them.
Claire McCaskill's doomed love affair with Keystone XL
Claire McCaskill, Job-creation, Keystone XL, missouri, oil pipeline
Today Claire McCaskill did it. She voted with all Senate Republicans and nine Senate Democrats to pass the House's Keystone XL authorization. Of course, nine Democrats won't be enough to override a presidential veto, so maybe she was hoping to get some red Missouri love without having to make anyone pay too big a price.
That line of thought might, though, give McCaskill too much credit. Even most Republicans have to know in their secret hearts that as far as jobs go Keystone XL is very small potatoes indeed. As Steve Benen writes today:
As for the substance, let's recap our discussion from a few weeks ago, noting just how straightforward the case against Keystone is. At issue is a proposal to build a pipeline to transport oil, extracted from tar sands, from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico. Critics have said the tar-sands process is environmentally hazardous, which is true. They've said the project would have no real impact on already low gas prices, which is also true. And they've said Keystone would be largely meaningless to the U.S. unemployment rate, which, once again, is completely true.
And on the other side of the aisle, Republicans have an equally straightforward rejoinder: they really, really, really like this project. Why? Because they really, really, really do
And for some reason, McCaskill, the only Democrat I've got representing me in Congress, seems to share the GOP infatuation with the pipeline. She seems to really, really, really like it too. Even pertinent reminders of the problems that plague oil pipelines, events like this month's disastrous spill into Montana's Yellowstone River, fail to sway her infatuation with the project – and if you think such spills are rare events, take a look at this list of hundreds of such spills in the United States in the last 14 years alone. And no, engineers can't really make credible promises to do better. As a USGS engineer observed apropos the problem of protecting pipelines routed beneath rivers, "it's nature […]. Is it going to follow the equation? I don't know for sure."
So does this mean that McCaskill, who seems uber-cautious when it comes to politics, is inclined to be reckless when in the throes of fossil-fuel passion? There must be some explanation for McCaskill thowing her constituents under the bus. And don't let anyone fool you. The answer can't be jobs. The Keystone impact will be so small that Chuck Todd and some of his fellow NBC news staff members, deride the entire effort as laughably "small ball politics."
Steve Benen has a persuasive take on why Republicans keep batting that diminishingly small ball back and forth:
Rather, Keystone has become a totem of sorts. Its actual value has been rendered meaningless, replaced with post-policy symbolic value that ignores pesky details like facts and evidence. Indeed, the more Democrats and environmentalists tell Republicans this is a bad idea, the more Republicans convince themselves this is The Most Important Project In The World. It's ideologically satisfying.
Taking this one step further, my suspicion is that GOP officials find all of these circumstances quite convenient. Republicans don't have a jobs agenda, or much an economic vision in general, but they have a Keystone bill that those rascally Democrats won't accept.
And when pressed for an explanation on why congressional Republicans aren't working on economic development, they immediately turn to their talking point of choice: "Keystone! Keystone! Keystone!"
So that explains why Republicans are doing what they are doing. It's just another Benghazi in a long list of Benghazis, symbolically loaded tags that come in handy when you're asked why you and your political allies can't do anything worthwhile.
But this still leaves us with the question of Senator McCaskill and her Democratic allies. Surely, their goals aren't to provide cover for GOP ne'er-do-wells. Surely, they can't think that siding with idiots who are running for cover will provide them with the same type of cover. Haven't they noticed the President's spiking approval numbers now that he's showing a tendency to stand up for a progressive agenda? Isn't that proof that there are still people out there who reward leaders who can act the part?
Dave Spence and the peculiar GOP entitlement mentality
Dave Spence, Job-creation, Minimum wage, missouri, right-to-work
The Associated Press reported today that Missouri GOP gubernatorial contender Dave Spence had to repay part of a grant he had received from the state of New York. The grant was associated with a plastics business he acquired in that state. It seems that Spence, who is running on his record as a job-creating businessman, failed to meet the job creation targets upon which the grant was contingent.
Embarrassing, sure; surprising, not especially. Businesses succeed and fail for a number of reasons. It does, of course, undermine Spence's job-creator chops, the single qualification he presents to persuade us he deserves to be elected governor of Missouri. As the AP put it, "Spence was not able to create jobs in New York." Of course, success in business is, on its own, at least, a pretty weak qualification for a political career since government's goals and methods are much broader than that of for-profit business.
What especially struck me, though, was one statement from the Democratic Party response:
A party spokesman pointed to various speeches in which Spence has said he doesn't like "corporate welfare" and believes businesses should have to repay government incentives if they don't follow through on their job-creation agreements.
The Democrats are on to something, but seem not to have a very firm grasp of all the implications. My question is if Spence doesn't like "corporate welfare" what's he doing accepting government subsidies under any circumstances? Whether or not he created jobs with corporate welfare government money is irrelevant.
If memory serves me, Spence got Alpha Packaging, his big Missouri business success, going strong thanks to a Small Business Administration Loan, and then, of course, there's his support for the Troubled Assets Relief Program (TARP) – he sat on the board of a bank that took TARP money and then defaulted. Seems to me that Mr. Spence has been more than happy to take advantage of corporate welfare. You could even say he owes much of his success to just that particular form of government largesse.
But when it comes to government looking out for the folks who occupy those jobs he claims he wants to create, he's not so generous. He may be willing to accept government help to insure his welfare and to endorse policies that permit government to help businessmen like him, but he wants that same government to leave workers' welfare to the "free" market, via right-to-work-for-less legislation and totally abolishing the minimum wage.
Which brings me to a simple question that Mr. Spence's many trips to the government trough suggests: Why isn't what's good for the goose, good for the gander? If government subsidies help businessmen like Spence "create" jobs, why isn't government oversight to guarantee a fair share of the proceeds for the workers just as good? There might not be any proceeds, after all, if weren't for our tax money – including those of union and minimum wage folks. Why should we subsidize a "free" market that offers us slave wages?
And, lest you be misled by Mr. Spence's claim that unions and minimum wage requirements are what made it impossible for him to succeed in New York, bear in mind that as recently as 2011, New York led the nation in job creation and is ranked third in job growth by Kiplinger this year.
At the Heart of the Heart of the Jobs Problem
Claire McCaskill, EPI, Job-creation, jobs, jobs bill, missouri, stimulus
Most of us have heard our more retrograde legislators and cable news pontificators gleefully proclaim the stimulus a failure – despite evidence that it softened the recession fallout considerably (see also here). Wiser observers, such as the Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman, note that more rather than less stimulus was what was really needed if we wanted to give the economy the boost required to rev up the jobs engine:
What we're in right now is the aftermath of a giant financial crisis, which typically leads to a prolonged period of economic weakness – and this time isn't different. A bolder economic policy early this year might have led to a turnaround, but what we actually got were half-measures. As a result, unemployment is likely to stay near its current level for a year or more.
Sadly, Krugman is probably correct when he notes that efforts to augment the stimulus with realistic job-creation measures will probably fall victim to the current political climate. The result, according to Krugman, will be "years of terrible job markets, combined with political paralysis."
Krugman's grim observations were brought vividly home to me when I came across Claire McCaskill's comments on the topic of a potential Senate jobs bill:
I think we've got to be really careful in thinking we can spend government money to get us out of recession," said Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill, who called for low-interest loans for small businesses.
Nothing too cringeworthy in that pious little observation – but nothing too promising in the vision and courage departments either.
While the President may set the direction, no president, no matter how visionary or politically savy, can do what needs to be done alone. He needs the support of smart legislators with the courage to take the necessary political risks, not those who, like McCaskill, tiptoe around issues out of fear of offending the sensibilities of the small-minded.
What I want to hear from McCaskill and the rest of the Missouri delegation – the Democrats at any rate, since the Republicans are a lost cause – are serious ideas. They don't even have to do the heavy-lifting; there's lots of good thinking out there for them to draw upon.
Consider, for instance, the Economic Policy Institute's (EPI) Five-point Plan to Stem the Jobs Crisis, which recommends a WPA style program, along with investments in infrastructure, transportation, and education. The EPI estimates that it would create an estimated 4.6 million jobs in the first year alone, and could be funded by a financial transaction tax, which, in the best progressive style, would hit only wealthiest ten percent.
Why isn't McCaskill at least addressing ideas like these rather than taking refuge in Republican-lite rhetoric? And why doesn't she tell us why she is so negative about cap-and-trade? Even honest conservatives like Lindsey Graham admit that controllling CO2 emissions and shifting to a green economy could power up the economy.
It's early days yet after all. The President's job's forum will take place just tomorrow, initiating the new emphasis on jobs, and there will be time in the coming months for McCaskill to develop her thinking and to communicate her ideas. Perhaps she'll blow our socks off. And perhaps she won't.

How to Access Research Articles for Free
The "Robin Hood of Science" continues to provide 60+ million scientific papers to anyone in the world for free at https://sci-hub.hk/
Below is an approximation of this video's audio content. To see any graphs, charts, graphics, images, and quotes to which Dr. Greger may be referring, watch the above video.
The first issues of the first scientific journals were published back in 1665, in which it was noted things like, hey it looks like there's a spot on Jupiter, thanks to new telescopes invented by a certain Mr. Newton, whose friend Halley described a comet. The same journal that reported that oranges and lemons could cure scurvy, and something in willow tree bark could bring down a fever, published a letter by some guy over in the colonies about playing with kites during lightning storms, and an account of a remarkable eight-year-old musician by the name of Amadeus, and within this last century, some sketchings of the structure of some molecule called DNA. A journal still in publication to this day, 350 years later, available now online and in print for the low, low subscription price of only $6,666 a year.
As you can imagine, the high price of journals leaves "doctors…in developing countries…missing out on relevant information about health." "At that time," back in the 1990s, "there was optimism that, by 2004," at least, the problem of access to life-saving information would be solved. But 2004 came and went. So, they set their sights for 2015. Surely, by then, we could "achieve health information for all," as "lack of access…remain[ed] a major barrier." "Realistically only scientists at really big, well-funded universities in the developed world [may] have full access to published research." And, as prices rise even more, even that may no longer be true. You know there's a problem when even Harvard, as in 30-billion-dollar-endowment Harvard, claims that "Costs [for research journals] are now prohibitive."
Meanwhile, the journal publishers are raking in billions, charging institutions up to $35,000 a year per journal, and charging individuals online per article. So, you have "a family member…diagnosed" with some disease, and you go online. You can read all sorts of internet dreck, but if you want to see the actual science, it can get expensive. And, you likely paid for the research. Tax dollars pour in to fund the research, and then you can't get access to the research you paid for.
It's like if a nice little city park was built, but then some private firm came in and started to charge admission. "That's roughly how it works with scientific research." And this conversion of "public research dollars into private publishing profits" has long been a source of discontent. The publishers don't end up paying anything for the research. They get it for free; they don't pay the researchers anything. "So, we pay for it, and then we [have to] pay for it again if we want to read it.' So, it can end up with science as a profit system, rather than science as knowledge.
Enter Alexandra Elbakyan, nicknamed by some "the Robin Hood of Science." It's the story "of how one researcher…made nearly every scientific paper ever published available for free to [everyone], anywhere in the world."
Named by perhaps the most prestigious scientific journal in the world as one of the top "people who mattered" the most in science in 2016, Alexandra started out as just a frustrated grad student in Kazakhstan, unable to access the scholarly papers she needed for her research. Once she figured out how to circumvent all the paywalls, she started a website—now at —to remove all barriers in the way of science by giving away the world's scientific, medical, and nutrition literature for free.
"What she did is nothing short of awesome," said [one researcher]. "Lack of access to the scientific literature is a massive injustice, and she fixed it with one fell swoop."

It is all about learning to redirect your unconscious mind, which sounds like a lot but is easier than you may think. Your rational mind knows that your Phobia Of Tomb is illogical.

Do you become sick at the simple thought of Tombstones?
These are only a few examples of the things one can feel. Click here to learn more about the symptoms of phobia of tomb.

1: phobia of tomb: a persistent, abnormal, and unwarranted fear of tombstones, despite conscious understanding by the phobic individual and reassurance by others that there is no danger. 2: phobia of tomb: an extreme unwarranted fear and/or physical aversion to tombstones.


Professor Mark Movsesian's latest article has been accepted for publication in the peer-reviewed Oxford Journal of Law and Religion. The article, Crosses and Culture: State-Sponsored Religious Displays in the US and Europe, compares the recent jurisprudence of the US Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights on state-sponsored religious displays. Although both courts insist that government has a duty of religious "neutrality," the American court defines neutrality more rigorously that the European court. Mark argues that this difference results from institutional and cultural factors, specifically, the different social models of religion in the US and Europe.

Russian Federation: Doku Umarov an Islamic terrorist vows to stop civilian attacks
Murad Makhmudov and Lee Jay Walker
The Russian Federation faces many internal problems in the North Caucasus region because of Islamic terrorism, civil wars, nationalism, criminality, kidnappings, and many unsavory factors. Therefore, this instability led to many convulsions whereby military might, guerilla tactics, the rule of fear, terrorism, and kidnapping became all too familiar. This in turn created an atmosphere based on loathing, fear, and massive frustration among various ethnic and religious groups.
Doku (Dokka) Umarov was one of the many prominent Islamists who rose to power based on fear and supporting terrorism in the North Caucasus and throughout the Russian Federation. He knew full well that brutal kidnappings were part and parcel of the brutality unleashed during the first Chechen War. Therefore, the initial war in Chechnya witnessed many massacres and like in all civil wars "no hands were clean." Indeed, the brutality of Islamists decapitating individuals and torturing not only installed fear, it also meant that a cycle of vengeance and hatred increased to an even higher degree.
The North Caucasus remains volatile and while the crisis in Chechnya is now a low intensity conflict, other areas like Dagestan highlight the frailty of the situation. Also, the current leader of Chechnya may be loyal to the Russian Federation but "the dark shadows" of Ramzan Kadyrov means that fear is part of the apparatus. However, in fairness to Ramzan Kadyrov he had little option because any weakness would have resulted in his death and further bloodshed on a bigger scale.
Ramzan Kadyrov took part in the first Chechen war but in the second Chechen war he followed his father and sided with the Russian Federation and clearly he and Vladimir Putin have a strong relationship. In 2004 his father, President Akhmad Kadyrov, was assassinated and since this time Ramzan Kadyrov began to openly crush the opposition. He also started on a rebuilding process in Chechnya backed by support from central forces in Moscow once the insurgency became less intense.
Ramzan Kadyrov commented after being asked about avenging the death of his father that "I've already killed him, whom I ought to kill. And those, who stay behind him, I will be killing them, to the very last of them, until I am myself killed or jailed. I will be killing [them] for as long as I live… Putin is gorgeous. He thinks more about Chechnya than about any other republic [of the Russian Federation]. When my father was murdered, he [Putin] came and went to the cemetery in person. Putin has stopped the war. Putin should be made president for life. Strong rule is needed. Democracy is all but an American fabrication… Russians never obey their laws. Everyone was stealing, and only Khodorkovsky is in jail"
Therefore, Ramzan Kadyrov and Doku Umarov have taken different paths and while one helped in the creation of the biggest mosque in Europe, Doku Umarov continued with supporting terrorism and targeting civilians. Indeed, Doku Umarov proclaimed himself to be the leader of the Caucasus Emirate which only exists in name. However, this aspiration is dreamt about by many Islamists in the region despite the ethnic and religious diversity of this complex part of the Russian Federation.
Recent terrorist attacks with the involvement of Doku Umarov applies to the 2010 Moscow Metro terrorist attack and the 2011 international terrorist attack which happened at Domodedovo International Airport. It is also presumed that internal tensions within the terrorist movement occurred or possible health factors during the same period. This applies to either a power struggle which emerged between himself and Aslambek Vadalov or because of illness, or other natural factors, confusion occurred after Doku Umarov temporarily resigned his leading position on August 1, 2010.
Doku Umarov commented "that jihad should be led by younger and more energetic commanders."Although he did stress that he would "continue to wage jihad and will do his utmost to help the new leadership. [Stepping down] does not mean that I give up jihad. I will do whatever I can by word and deed." Yet by August 4, 2010, he retracts everything by stating that "Due to the situation in the Caucasus I consider that it is impossible for me to quit my duties. The previous declaration is annulled. It is a falsification. I declare that my health is good to serve Allah. And I will serve the word of Allah and work to kill the enemies of Allah in all the time that he gives me to live on this earth."
In the past Doku Umarov on the one hand claimed that he was against killing civilians but on the other hand he supported or planned operations which killed civilians. Also, while he condemned the barbaric Beslan school hostage massacre of children in 2004, Doku Umarov then installed Shamil Basayev who was known for his brutality. Therefore, just like he claims that he isn't an Islamist but proclaims the Caucasus Emirate, it is clear that his approach is either schizophrenic or that he is a natural survivor who will do or say anything depending on the situation.
Valery Dzutsev states in his article published on The Jamestown Foundation that "On February 2 (2012), the leader of the North Caucasus rebels Doku Umarov made an astonishing statement in support of the growing movement in Russia against Vladimir Putin. In a dramatic departure from the previously circulated views, the head of the Caucasus Emirate called on the rebels to stop attacks against Russian civilians. In a short video recording posted on the rebels' primary website Kavkazcenter, Umarov spoke against a wintery background, presumably in the North Caucasus mountains, flanked by two young militants."
Valery Dzutsev continues by stating that "Umarov issued direct orders to curb operations that are in progress, if civilians might suffer in these attacks. Instead, Doku Umarov called on the insurgents to focus their efforts on attacking law enforcement agencies, the military, the security services, state officials and the so-called "national traitors" or "collaborators."
However, in the past Doku Umarov hinted at similar things but the reality is that little changed. It could imply a temporary weakness or being a survivor of many attacks against his life then maybe he is bidding for time. This applies to the need for him to strengthen the powerbase of the insurgents. After all, it is difficult to take his words at face value given past deeds and the fact that he supported Shamil Basayev despite the barbaric reality of Beslan.

Islamic liberalism is a million times more dangerous than radical Islam
Global Security News
The biggest threat to all civilizations is Islamic liberalism because Islamic liberals fully understand Islamic history but like the deceivers they are; they still desire to Islamize but by Islamic dawah, stealth jihad, and Islamic kitman.
Osama bin Laden supported killing apostates, Islamic jihad, Islamic Sharia law, killing homosexuals, child marriage, stoning women to death for adultery, enslaving non-Muslims during jihad, and he believed that Muslim men would go to heaven and meet virgins after killing infidels.
The Islam of Osama bin Laden was based on Mohammed, the Koran, Hadiths and Islamic Sharia law. All the above in the previous paragraph was sanctioned by Mohammed and Mohammed himself married a child and ordered the killings of non-Muslims in the name of Allah.
Islamic liberal organizations like Muslim Bridges (http://muslimbridges.org) in America are openly spreading Islam despite claiming to build bridges. You only have to check their website to note that they visit Christian churches and teach people how to pray to Allah and how Islam is based on love and peace.
Of course, these liberal kitman Muslims know full well that apostates are killed in Islamic nations based on Sharia Islamic law. Therefore, Muslim converts to other religions face the death penalty in Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, the Maldives, and Yemen.
However, the kitman liberal Muslims will state that Mohammed means peace and that Islam means love and humility. Somehow killing apostates, stoning to death, cross amputation, child marriage (child rape and still sanctioned in Saudi Arabia), stoning to death for adultery, enslaving during jihad and so on; all this means "peace" in the minds of kitman loving liberal Muslims who love to spread Islamic dawah by stating complete lies.
Muslim Bridges also plays the race card and states how ethnicity is not important in Islam and so forth. This organization praises the fact that mixed marriages can be seen openly in Mecca and all because of the greatness of Allah.
Strange because slavery was not abolished until the 1960s in the lands of Mecca and Medina and this only happened because of external pressure by non-Muslim nations. Also, in modern day Mauritania and Sudan it is clear that black Africans are treated with disdain and that slavery is a constant threat.
Another point which Islamic liberals gloss over is the fact that non-Muslim men face the death penalty in Saudi Arabia for marrying a Muslim female. Yes, for an act of love the reality of Islam in accordance to Islamic Sharia law means death in the lands of Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, the Maldives, Yemen and a few other nations.
Of course the liberal media machine, the United Nations and political leaders in the West desire to ignore this reality. After all, the non-Muslim world must show its fairness while Islamists kill Buddhists in southern Thailand and marry non-Muslims freely and without any hindrance.
It seems that Islamic fanatics and Islamic liberals can't lose because either way it is a win-win situation. Therefore, the Muslim population keeps on growing in India and the United Kingdom and at the same time the Hindu population faces complete annihilation in Pakistan and the same fate awaits the Christian community in Iraq.
If you magnify organizations and individuals like Muslim Bridges then it is abundantly clear that liberal Islam is the real threat to non-Muslim nations. Also, liberals in the West and India are bending over backwards in order to allow this lie to spread despite Islamic sources in the Koran and the Hadiths which state the opposite.
Therefore, for every non-Muslim who is converted to radical Islam in mainly non-Muslim nations, you will have another 99 who are converted to liberal Islamic kitman, whereby Islamic dawah openly enabled lies to be told in order to spread the faith.
The madness of these Islamic liberals is much worse than individuals like Osama bin Laden who fully understood the reality of Islam.
After all, if you look at Afghanistan then firstly liberal Islam was spread along with the Sufi deceivers who are dangerous because they first went out and converted in the name of deceit and lies.
Once the faith spread and Islam grew in power then Buddhism, Hinduism and all non-Muslim faiths in Afghanistan were doomed to slavery and the Islamic inquisition.
In time Islamization would take place in Afghanistan and all Buddhists and Hindus faced the sword of Islam. After this, the various thought patterns in Islam were seen to be problematic because past culture remained therefore the Sunni Islamic Taliban emerged and now it was the turn of Shia Muslims and other non-Sunni branches to face the wrath of pure Sunni Islamization.
Liberal Muslims are the real threat because Islamic armies can no longer invade the majority of non-Muslim nations. Therefore, Saudi Arabia and others are spreading Islam via Islamic dawah, deceit and open lies in order to Islamize.
It is vital that non-Muslim religious leaders and politicians don't fall into this trap and the truth about Mohammed, slavery in Islam, child marriage, and so forth; must be told to the masses in order to fight stealth jihad and liberal Islam.
Islamic fanatics like Osama bin Laden only wake people up to the real hatred of Islamic dogma. However, the television version of Malcolm X who supported the slave owning Mohammed is the real threat alongside organizations like Muslim Bridges.
This is based on the reality that Islam is being revamped in the mainly non-Muslim world in order to Islamize and Islamic liberals, Islamic kitman and stealth jihad is a trinity which is much more powerful than Islamic terrorism.
In nations where non-Muslim minorities are small they face the sword of Islam and in modern day Somalia the Islamic inquisition is in full swing and many Christians have been beheaded and killed in gruesome ways. The same barbarity is being unleashed against Buddhists in southern Thailand and against minorities in a host of other nations.
However, in the non-Muslim world the threat is liberal Islam, stealth jihad and Islamic kitman. This threat is magnified by the "enemy from within" and many universities, the mass media, Western politicians and liberal non-Muslim religious leaders are bending over backwards in order to accommodate the Islamic faith.
Yet history tells us that Islam cares little about accommodation and the Islamization of Kashmir, Kosovo, Pakistan, Iraq, southern Thailand, and in other parts of the world, is ongoing in the twenty-first century.

Ahmadis and Christians under attack in Obama's peaceful Indonesia
Sunni Muslims declaring their hatred towards Christians and Ahmadiyya Muslims in Indonesia
The followers of conservative Islam once more showed their mass hatred for diversity because Muslims stoned three Ahmadiyya Muslims to death and then chanted for the death penalty of a Christian on the grounds of blasphemy. This happened in Indonesia which is a nation that was praised by President Obama only a few months ago. However, the stark reality is very different because conservative Islam is rising and all minorities face persecution.
President Obama had praised Indonesia in late 2010 because he stated that the""spirit of tolerance that is written into your constitution, symbolized in your mosques and churches and temples, and embodied in your people" is a quality which is worth emulating.
President Obama continued by stating that "We are two nations which have traveled different paths. Yet our nations show that hundreds of millions who hold different beliefs can be united in freedom under one flag"
It is clear that the leader of America ignored the anti-Ahmadiyya Muslim law which was passed in 2008 and many other aspects of Indonesia. After all, the mainly Christian Papuans in West Papua are suffering from Javanization which will ultimately lead to Islamization. The same applies to Christians in the Moluccas islands (Maluku islands) who face the same fate and thousands of Christians were killed between 1999 and 2000.
Moluccas International Campaign for Human Rights (http://www.michr.net ) states that "The Moluccan people are victimized. Fifty-nine years of Javanese-dominant occupation of Indonesia has taken its toll. The national identity of the Moluccan people is disappearing fast. An overall Javanese identity is taking its place, which is pervading daily social behavior. This is effectuated by ceaseless efforts of Jakarta to transmigrate tens of thousands Javanese families all over the Moluccan islands. The more than two million indigenous people are being engulfed by the influx of new settlers."
"Reports from the Moluccas tell of the movement of Malay families into these Melanesian islands and also of planned and encouraged intermarriage by the government. Suffering under the political and military repression, which exists throughout Indonesia, the Moluccans are powerless. And because of the naivete (too-easy adaptability) of the Moluccan people, the Javanization of the indigenous culture takes place with negligible opposition."
Turning back to recent events in 2011 because at least three Ahmadiyya Muslims were stoned to death and others were seriously injured when conservative Muslim mobs attacked this religious minority group.
This attack was sickening because the anti-Ahmadiyya Muslim attack was allowed to happen because law enforcement agencies just stood by and did nothing. The attack witnessed conservative Muslims with machetes, rocks, and sticks, and while they were stoning Ahmadiyya Muslims to death they were in a state of high religious frenzy.
This applies to shouts of "Allahu Akbar" (God is great) and Muslims were clapping in religious joy while innocent Ahmadiyya Muslims were dying in mass pain. Mirza Masroor Ahmad, the spiritual leader of the Ahmadiyya community, heavily criticized the "brutality" of this attack. Mirza Masroor Ahmad also highlighted the fact that "people watching the merciless beatings were clapping and cheering."
Therefore, the followers of conservative Islam were once more killing innocents and not only this, they were celebrating while stoning people to death. Of course this is a reality in many other parts of the mainly Muslim world because Christians are often killed in Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia and other Muslim dominated nations. The same applies to the persecution of Hindus and Ahamdiyya Muslims in Bangladesh and Pakistan; and in southern Thailand Buddhists are frequently killed by the followers of Sunni Islam.
After the brutal attack against the Ahmadiyya Muslim community the followers of Sunni Islam then turned their hatred against the Christian community. This applies to two Christian churches being attacked and Muslim mobs are calling for the death sentence of a Christian who was given a five year prison sentence for alleged blasphemy against the religion of Islam.
Muslims were chanting "kill, kill" outside the courtroom before the verdict was passed on Antonius Bawengan who is a Christian. However, after the judge passed down a 5 year prison sentence for mere words then this was not enough for Sunni Muslims because they demanded his death. Therefore, Muslim mobs attacked Christian churches and clearly they must have felt strengthened by the recent brutal killings of Ahmadiyya Muslims. After all, the same Muslim followers also celebrate in Somalia when they are beheading converts to Christianity.
James Heiser wrote an article called Obama Praises "Toleration" as Indonesian Churches Burn (Nov 11, 2010 – www.thenewamerican.com ) and commented that "It is hard to imagine that President Obama would be praising the tolerance of a Christian nation if it had witnessed the burning of 700 mosques since 1998. However, Obama would search the nations of the West in vain to find one in which violent religious bigotry is tolerated the way it is alleged to have been in Indonesia."
The statistic that James Heiser mentions is a reality in modern day Indonesia and this applies to Muslims attacking Christian churches. The number he mentions is a sad reality with regards to Muslim attacks against Christian churches and clearly the Ahmadiyya community is also suffering from rampant persecution.
James Heiser also states that "Astoundingly, Obama compared Indonesia (a nation that has only recently begun to emerge from being an unabashed dictatorship) to the United States, declaring that the two nations share a spirit of toleration."
If President Obama believes that Indonesia is really tolerant then he should look at the reality of the Moluccas and West Papua. In both cases the indigenous Christian community faces both Islamization and Javanization.
At the same time it is clear that Ahmadiyya Muslims and Christians face persecution and this applies to attacks against the followers of both faiths. Also, the legal system in Indonesia is trying to curtail the Ahmadiyya faith by putting many restrictions on this religious community. Ultimately, this is clearly encouraging conservative Muslims because they can whip up their hatred and highlight the legal system in Indonesia and this applies to anti-Ahmadiyya laws and the blasphemy law which is aimed at both faiths.
The recent brutal killings against the Ahmadiyya community and attacks against Christians is clear evidence that Indonesia is not so tolerant. Therefore, President Obama must stop making sweeping statements. After all, his comments about Islam in Cairo were not based on facts but sadly the recent massacre of innocents in the name of Allah in Indonesia is a reality.
It is clear that you could not "sweep Nazi fascism under the carpet" because this ideology was barbaric and brutal. The same applies to not "sweeping Sunni Islamic fascism under the carpet" because in history, and in modern times, the forces of Sunni Islam desire a global monolith based on Islam and enforced dhimmitude or in the case of some Islamic states like Afghanistan, then the complete annihilation of all other religions and thought patterns.

Featured Publisher: Viking Ship Museum, Roskilde
Viking Ship Museum, Roskilde
The Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde is the Danish museum for ships, seafaring and boatbuilding culture in ancient and medieval times.
The Viking Ship Hall, the oldest part of the museum, was opened in 1969. It was designed as a large showcase to display the five Viking ships found at Skuldelev. The hall also houses special temporary exhibitions and a cinema, where a film about the excavation of the ships is shown.
An extension to the museum, Museum Island, was opened in 1997. The museum boatyard, where visitors can watch shipwrights at work, is located on the island. The Activity Centre, where the School Service is housed, is also found here.
The large collection of traditional Nordic wooden boats is berthed at the harbour on Museum Island. Here you will also find the five reconstructions of the Skuldelev ships. Many of the vessels were built at the museum boatyard, which also maintains them.
Together with other museums, the Viking Ship Museum carries out investigations before construction projects are commenced under water and along Denmark's coasts, or when the forces of nature uncover items of historical interest on the sea floor.
Archaeological finds from throughout Denmark are documented at the Archaeological Workshop on Museum Island using digital technology, and information on all Danish maritime archaeological finds are collected in the museum archives.
