As US President Barack Hussein Obama continues on his seemingly endless quest to appease Muslims, with instructions to NASA to ‘find a way’ to reach them, Iftar dinners at the White House and the US State Dept.’s sponsorship of Ground Zero Mosque Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf’s forthcoming ’speaking tour’ of Muslim countries (without knowledge of what exactly he’ll be talking about); it emerges that that his administration is also planning to spend millions of taxpayer dollars on the restoration of dozens of Muslim sites around the world:

WASHINGTON – The goodwill tour of the Middle East by the Imam behind the proposed mosque near ground zero is just part of the U.S. government’s efforts to reach out to the Muslim world.

This year, the Obama administration will spend nearly $6 million to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including mosques and minarets, in 55 nations, according to State Department documents.

Under a program established by Congress in 2001, the department will fund at least five projects in as many countries at a cost of more than $271,000. Read the rest of this entry »

A superb primer about Islam. Great video and interesting use of typography to convey an idea. Send it to your friends and family. A grateful hat tip to blogger and Un:dhimmi reader Jonathan Danilowitz in Tel Aviv.

The last couple of days have provided two perfect examples of the Islamocrat tendency to blame others for their ills – usually others, who (in their paranoid, delusional folklore) are exceedingly rich, secretly run the world, have big noses, long beards and live in Israel.

First we have rotund Hezbollah Top Turban- the tubby, jovial-looking Hassan Nasrallah (have you ever noticed that most of the Shia Mullahs tend to be rather, er better fed than their followers?) who, in the aftermath of the Lebanese ambush of Israeli soldiers near the Northern border on Monday, blamed ‘Israel’ for the assassination of former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri.

In fact, much of the evidence and suspicion points to Hezbollah itself).

Then there’s the Supreme Deflector-in -Chief himself; the cuddly, lovable President of Iran, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Fresh from a reported attempt on his life yesterday, when what appeared to be a bomb exploded near his motorcade, he attempted to play it down as high spritited play by an, um, ‘overenthusiastic supporter’.

Whereas a couple of days ago he said in a televised speech that “Stupid Zionists* have hired mercenaries to assassinate me,”.

Or perhaps, Mahmoud, it just might be that an overwhelming majority of Iranians despise you and your sadistic, bloodthirsty government; and wish you dead?

*The term Islamic supremacists and their lefty enablers like to think they can use as a euphemism for ‘Jews’, to sidestep the opprobium of normal people.

A simple letter. A plea.

A perfect encapsulation of the hypocrisy, Taqiyya and lies faced by Israel as she tries in good faith – and desparate frustration – to negotiate peace with the treacherous, two-faced ‘Palestinians’; and of the impotency and utter irrelevancy of the UN (because you just know that it will fall on deaf ears).

Reproduced below is the communiqué sent yesterday by Gavriel Shalev, Israel’s Ambassador to the United Nations, to Ban Ki Moon:

H.E. Mr. Ban Ki-moon
Secretary General
United Nations
New York

Excellency,

Less than 24 hours after an encouraging development related to the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, we were reminded by the enemies of peace of the realities on the ground.

It is with grave concern that I write to you in order to inform you that shortly after 8:30 AM today, a Grad-type katyusha rocket was fired from the northern Gaza Strip town of Beit Hanoun. The rocket landed in the major southern Israeli city of Ashkelon. Less than four hours later, two mortar shells were fired from the Gaza Strip and his the Sha’ar Hanegev region.

The continuous attacks against Israel are an alarming reminder of the dangers emanating from the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip. While Israel holds the Hamas terrorist organization responsible for these attacks, such dangerous provocations also serve as a warning that unimpeded arms transfers and smuggling into the Gaza Strip, as well as the subsequent attacks against Israel and its citizens, pose a grave threat to peace and security.

In response to the escalating threat of terrorism, Israel will exercise its right of self-defense and will continue to take all necessary measures to protect its citizens. These recent attacks on southern Israel from the Gaza Strip seriously violate international law and should be adequately addressed and condemned by the international community.

In order to fully address this matter, I wish to inform you that this identical letter has been sent to H.E. Ms. U. Joy Ogwu, President of the United Nations Security Council, to be circulated as an official document of the Security Council.

Allow me, Excellency, to renew to you the assurances of my highest consideration.

Yours truly,
Gavriel Shalev
Ambassador
Permanent Representative

Read it and weep.

Definitely one for the ‘You Couldn’t Make it Up’ dept. More absurdity from Hamas-controlled Gaza – and another clear indication of the suspect nature of the IslamoLeft ‘humanitarian crisis’ tag:

 Israel’s decision to ease its blockade on Gaza has had an odd effect on the region: it has apparently thrown retailers into a panic, causing them to pressure their rulers.

As a result, the Hamas terrorist organization is fighting the implementation of the crossing agreements proposed by the Palestinian Authority and Israel. This, despite years of bitter complaints from Hamas, albeit unsubstantiated, that the blockade by Israel was causing a humanitarian crisis in the region.

Hamas now says Israel’s agreement to ease the blockade is “part of the plot by Israelis, Arabs and Europeans” to topple Hamas.
According to the Gaza-based Al Ayyam newspaper, clothing retailers are claiming that rather than a lack, there is now an overabundance of selections in their market.

The problem is that since Hamas has not paid salaries [what happened to all those $billions in aid? Ed], there are few customers available to buy the goods. Full story at Arutz Sheva.
