Sweet sounds of blowback...

I was surprised this article appeared on CNN.

I honestly didn't know that this was done by an Israeli film maker. It looks like the Clarion Fund didn't anticipate that the spotlight might start to be shined on them and their secret dealings. I'm not sure if the organization's funding is really coming from Aish Hatorah, but the people who work for the Clarion Fund are or were employees of Aish Hatorah. The Clarion Fund is even based at the same address as Aish Hatorah (the New York branch). I think there is a very good case that the Clarion Fund should lose its tax exempt status for electioneering and that it should be investigated if the Clarion Fund is a foreign supported entity with the intent on influencing the U.S. election.

Shu?!?!?

If anyone can explain what is happening in this picture on the Lebanese Internal Security Forces website I would really like to know.

If you don't know Arabic DON'T F*%$IN USE IT!

One of the things I that I think will be missed from the Biden-Palin debate is this gem by Biden "There have been 7,000 madrassas build along [the Pakistani] border, we should be building schools to compete for those hearts and minds." Oh really? Because the word Madrassa literally means school. It can be an Islamic school but it doesn't have to be. You can have an Islamic Madrassa or you can have a public Madrassa. So Biden's quote translates basically to this "There have been 7000 schools built along that border, we should be building schools to compete for those hearts and minds." Speaking of consistency, I'm waiting for the Stop the Madrassa coalition to fulfill its promise and shut down every school as its name suggests. Maybe while we are at it we should shut down all Christians, Jewish, and Islamic schools to stop the preaching of religions.

Of course to be fair Biden isn't the only one who does it. Ever since September 11th, we've seen commentators use Arabic words like "Shahid" or "Jihad" but rarely other Arabic words like "salaam"(peace) or "Zakat" (purification or growth, usually in reference to alms giving). I wonder what the point of using Arabic words have been aside from making Arabs out to be evil and inhuman. People need to either learn the language or stop using the words.
