Islamic Extremists or Muslim Islamists?

It is increasingly more difficult to follow the "politically correct" line of distinguishing between Muslims and Islamists, or those known as the extremists. Why? Because the outrages that are occurring internationally are all being committed by Muslims - all of course in the name of the defense of Allah. But, is the tide beginning to turn? Are Christians in Africa, as an example, and Israelis beginning to admit at long last that the attacks they suffer and the "religious" purgings that are occurring are - at their core - Islam's most recent and most relentless attack throughout the centuries against their described enemies, we infidels? And finally, can the world international community that is not Muslim wait much longer before containing the very real and very vocalized threat and intent of the Muslim Islamists? World domination. Here are several articles you may find "interesting" in view of the carnage that is being perpetrated in Darfur and in other African regions. Ethiopia prepares for war with Somali Islamists by Emmanuel Gougon of AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE on November 24, 2006.

ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia -- Prime Minister Meles Zenawi said yesterday that his country has completed preparations for war with neighboring Somalia's powerful Islamist movement, alongside faltering peace efforts. Mr. Meles told parliament that the Islamists, who have declared holy war on Ethiopian troops deployed to Somalia to protect the weak internationally backed government, were a "clear and present danger" to his country. Shortly after Mr. Meles' announcement, the Islamists said in Mogadishu that they were ready to defend themselves from a "reckless and war-thirsty" Ethiopia and invited a U.S. delegation to visit in an apparent bid to cool the situation... Mainly Christian Ethiopia has watched with growing concern the rise on its southeastern border of the Islamists, who seized Mogadishu in June and now control most of southern and central Somalia. "If Ethiopia is ready for war, we are very ready for the defense of our country," said SICS spokesman Abdurahim Ali Muddey. "But we urge Ethiopia to refrain from its reckless, war-thirsty behavior. We are not a threat to Ethiopia, but the presence of its troops in our homeland is a serious security risk to Somalia as well as Ethiopia." ... the Islamists said holy warriors had carried out attacks on Ethiopian military targets across Baidoa, the only government-held city, about 155 miles northwest of Mogadishu.

Rape law amended to ease trials by Munir Ahmed ASSOCIATED PRESS on November 24, 2006.

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan -- The Senate overcame opposition from hard-line Muslim lawmakers and amended its rape law yesterday to make it easier to prosecute sexual-assault cases. The legislation, known as the Protection of Women Bill, comes amid efforts by Islamabad to soften the country's hard-line Islamic image and appease centrists and human rights groups who opposed the law. The amended law would drop the death penalty for people found to have had sex outside of marriage, though they still would be subject to a five-year prison term or a $165 fine. Judges also will be able to choose whether to try a rape case in a criminal court or Islamic court, which should make it easier to convict rapists.

And from editorial writer we have A town under seige by Joel Mowbray, November 24, 2006.

The international outrage machine is ginned up again, and all but seven members of the U.N. General Assembly recently voted to condemn Israel for its military incursion into Gaza. The buzzword — recycled from Israel's summer war with Hezbollah — is "overreaction." To what is Israel "overreacting?" Hamas, using the tactic that Hezbollah licensed from it this summer, is indiscriminately launching rockets into civilian areas, hoping to kill as many innocents as possible. Israel's current military action is far from an overreaction. It is, in fact, a delayed reaction. Rockets have been raining down in southern Israel for years now, and only this summer did the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) finally execute a sustained response... For more than five years, the residents of Sderot...

The international community cannot rely on the UN - the glorious plan of the United Nations gone astray; an organization designed to arbitrate disputes and to seek "world peace." To watch the posturing of some of the representatives of the dictators for whom they speak, you'd think you were watching a Miss Universe doe-in-the-headlights, blank wide-eyed look of "the lights are on but nobody's home." When will we rid the world of this abomination? The UN is made up increasingly of representative nations who are anti-American and anti-freedom and liberty. The UN has its subset of the 118 member-nations who comprise the Un-aligned Nations - what a joke! These are the folks who danced the night away in Havana recently and bolstered the likes of Hugo Ugo and Mad Jad to speak so outrageously of our President Bush on our soil. The representatives who were in the UN general assembly room cheered. I say - focus in the cameras and cut off the US tax payers' dollars to those ingrates. But, you have to hand it to the Islamists in Somalia - their ability to turn their aggression into an attack upon them by Ethiopia really takes "balls" or just good old-fashioned psy-ops. The Islamists have the propaganda going for them; so sad that an arm of the Islamists aggression is the mainstream media of the US and the Western world. Read the commentary A town under seige and ask yourself if the Israelis are at fault. If they are at fault of anything, it is of "delayed action" of failing to protect their citizens. Soon it will be "balls to the walls" and there will be no denying or avoiding the "Islamic crusade" against the non-Muslim world. How loud do their imams have to shout? How many non-Muslims must die?
