Viet-Justice

A big mess is brewing in the UK. Muslim men are forcing teenaged girls to convert to the religion of suicide bombing. One good thing is that the police are doing something about it and they’re trying to protect the victims.

Police are working with universities to clamp down on “aggressive conversions” during which girls are beaten up and forced to abandon university courses.

The Hindu Forum of Britain claims hundreds of mostly Sikh and Hindu girls have been intimidated by Muslim men who take them out on dates before terrorizing them until they convert.

This is a terrifying development. Large portions of the Muslim population in some European countries want Sharia in Muslim communities. This is a cover for the subjugation of all western women. In the United States this would be no different than stalking and recruiting for gangs. The only difference is these gangs are Muslim gangs. What is going to happen when people are forced to convert and then they escape from their tormentors and renounce Islam? They will be hunted and executed in the name of Allah.

Found on Digg. President Bush is authorizing the sale of up to 200,000 acres of National Forest land, mostly in California. Already the tree huggers are going nuts while cool capitalism is set to prevail.

“I am outraged, and I don’t think the public is going to stand for it for one minute,” said Wilderness Society policy analyst Mike Anderson. “It’s a scheme to raise money at the expense of the national forests, the wildlife, recreation and all the other values that Americans hold dear. It’s the ultimate threat to the national forest.”

Jerry Taylor of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank, said the proposed land sales make sense.

“Private property will end up in the possession of those who value it the most,” Taylor said. “That is an iron law of economics.”

Being a Libertarian I’m going to have to take the side of the Cato Institute here. Being an environmentalist I’m also going to have to take the side of the Cato Institute. One problem I have with the environmental movement is it places too much emphasis on the Federal government in protecting our natural resources. In the case of ANWR the government can rightfully order drilling for oil. It’s their dirt and they can do with their dirt as they please or they can sell it to other people. Hell, they can turn it into a nuclear missile test range for all I care. It’s their dirt. In this case The Wilderness Society and Mike Anderson really need to get on board with modern economic realities.

Governments fail.

Governments run out of money.

Government priorities shift.

The key to preserving the planet is private or local ownership, not national ownership. This should not be National Forest. It should be California Forest. It should be Colorado Forest. I’m sure you get the idea my fellow tree huggers. Schwarzenegger is probably going to do more to protect the forest than Bush. The tax payers of “Colly-Fornia” are probably going to support initiatives to spend their tax money on buying some of that National Forest and making it California Forest. That is the great thing about this entire issue is that the Federal government is putting up National Forest for sale for State, County, and City government to own. And let’s not forget ownership by logging companies, home owners, or non-profit environmental conservation agencies. Yes, Wilderness Society, Defenders of Wildlife, and Greenpeace I’m talking to you. Your membership can buy this land that is for sale and donate it to you as a gift. You do accept land and property as estate gifts at time of death, right? So, why not accept land that you can manage directly? Why not invest in mutual funds and take the profits to buy the environment rather than lobby Congress? Politicians will serve their own needs. If you truly believe in protecting the environment then do something on a small level. When thousands of like minded individuals come together anything is possible.

An organization for former Muslims is in trouble in Germany. The Central Council for Ex-Muslims seems like a noble group for exploring life after Allah. Mina Ahadi says their organization has about three dozen members.

“I happened to be born in a Muslim family, and I have decided not to be a Muslim,” she told the magazine Focus.

Good for Mina. The world needs more Ex-Muslims like her who want to try something different.

Terrorists have murdered over 2000 Buddhists in Thailand. In its usual fashion the religion of peace has been bombing, shooting, and beheading the Buddhist majority. To be quite inflammatory the terrorists are targeting the symbols of Buddhism. This would be similar to burning churches or defacing religious statues though they are not just leaving their destruction at religious symbols.

“Buddhist monks have been hacked to death, clubbed to death, bombed and burned to death,” said Sunai Phasuk, a political analyst with the Human Rights Watch monitoring group. “This has never happened before. This is a new aspect of violence in the south.”

I began to dismiss this a typical behavior for Muslims, but something else caught my attention.

Some Buddhist and Muslim villages have begun sealing themselves off from one another. People say that old friendships and patterns of cooperation are being undermined by mistrust.

What I think this group of terrorists is up to is simple anarchy. By tearing down the basic components of civilization they will be keeping civilization in ignorance. An ignorant society can be more easily preyed upon by religious zealots and their brainwashing.

This serves as further proof that the country made a good decision by not electing John Kerry or anyone from Massachusetts. Boston residents caused a panic by reporting an advertising campaign from Turner Broadcasting / Cartoon Network as a bomb threat. I am convinced that everyone in Massachusetts has had their brain freeze over at some point. Even the mayor of Boston displays how much of a hater he is.

“It is outrageous, in a post 9/11 world, that a company would use this type of marketing scheme,” Mayor Thomas Menino said. “I am prepared to take any and all legal action against Turner Broadcasting and its affiliates for any and all expenses incurred during the response to today’s incidents.”

According to the AP article the advertising campaign was running in Boston, NY, LA, Atlanta, Chicago, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, Seattle, and Philadelphia. So how is it that 9 cities don’t think anything of it?

Since statistically it seems unlikely that the combined population of 9 other cities did not report this as a threat does the mayor plan to pursue those who called in a *false* bomb scare? Has the mayor’s office investigated the possibility that this incident was reported with malicious intent?

“Everyone can play a part by holding Turner Broadcasting to account for today’s events,” Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley said. “Viewers, advertisers, license holders, can and should make clear to them this sort of behavior is reckless, irresponsible and illegal.”

Hey, Mr. Conley, why don’t you investigate the initial report. We have decided to be fair and give his office an opportunity to respond to our questions.

According to the same AP news article 9 other cities had the promotion for 2-3 weeks. Since, statistically, it seems unlikely that the combined population of 9 other cities did not report this as a threat does the DA’s office plan to pursue those who called in a *false* bomb scare? Has the DA’s office investigated the possibility that this incident was reported with malicious intent to tie up the resources of city authorities?

We would also like to know how advertising in and of itself is reckless, irresponsible, and illegal in Boston but it is not in the 9 other cities mentioned in the AP news article.

I will post the DA’s response when they get back to me.
