AFGHAN Muslim savages want to put quran-burners on public trial…..

by barenakedislam

And apparently, NATO has agreed? Will they also make the beheadings public because that is the punishment for blasphemy?

MSNBC Afghanistan wants NATO to put on public trial those who burned copies of the Quran at a NATO base, President Hamid Karzai's office said Thursday, after a third day of bloody protests over the incident. It said NATO had agreed to a trial, but that could not be immediately confirmed.

Karzai had earlier accused a U.S. officer of "ignorantly" burning copies of the Quran, in an incident that has deepened anti-Western sentiment in a country NATO is trying to stabilize before foreign combat troops leave by the end of 2014.

Demonstrations have drawn thousands of angry Afghans to the streets, chanting "Death to America!" amid violence that has killed 11 people including two U.S. service personnel.

"NATO officials, in response to a request for the trial and punishment of the perpetrators ... promised this crime will brought to court as soon as possible," Karzai's office said in a statement.

Muslim-in-Chief Barack Obama sent a letter to Karzai apologizing for the burning of the Qurans, after Afghan laborers found charred copies while collecting rubbish at the sprawling Bagram air base.

Gasoline Prices Are Not Rising, the Dollar Is Falling

"Over the centuries, gold has been "the golden constant". Eventually, all prices equilibrate with gold. This is why gold represents the best available standard in terms of which to define the value of a monetary unit. Forty-one years ago, when the value of the dollar was defined in terms of gold at $35/oz, WTI was selling for $3.56/bbl."

Gasoline Prices Are Not Rising, the Dollar Is Falling
Louis Woodhill, Contributor

Panic is in the air as gasoline prices move above $4.00 per gallon. Politicians and pundits are rounding up the usual suspects, looking for someone or something to blame for this latest outrage to middle class family budgets. In a rare display of bipartisanship, President Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner are both wringing their hands over the prospect of seeing their newly extended Social Security tax cut gobbled up by rising gasoline costs.

Unfortunately, the talking heads that are trying to explain the reasons for high oil prices are missing one tiny detail. Oil prices aren't high right now. In fact, they are unusually low. Gasoline prices would have to rise by another $0.65 to $0.75 per gallon from where they are now just to be "normal". And, because gasoline prices are low right now, it is very likely that they are going to go up more -- perhaps a lot more.

What the politicians, analysts, and pundits are missing is that prices are ratios. Gasoline prices reflect crude oil prices, so let's use West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil to illustrate this crucial point.

As this is written, West Texas Intermediate crude oil (WTI) is trading at $105.88/bbl. All this means is that the market value of a barrel of WTI is 105.88 times the market value of "the dollar". It is also true that WTI is trading at €79.95/bbl, ¥8,439.69/barrel, and £67.13/bbl. In all of these cases, the market value of WTI is the same. What is different in each case is the value of the monetary unit (euros, yen, and British pounds, respectively) being used to calculate the ratio that expresses the price.

In terms of judging whether the price of WTI is high or low, here is the price that truly matters: 0.0602 ounces of gold per barrel (which can be written as Au0.0602/bbl). What this number means is that, right now, a barrel of WTI has the same market value as 0.0602 ounces of gold.

During the 493 months since January 1, 1971, the price of WTI has averaged Au0.0732/bbl. It has been higher than that during 225 of those months and lower than that during 268 of those months. Plotted as a graph, the line representing the price of a barrel of oil in terms of gold has crossed the horizontal line representing the long-term average price (Au0.0732/bbl) 29 times.

At Au0.0602/bbl, today's WTI price is only 82% of its average over the past 41+ years. Assuming that gold prices remained at today's $1,759.30/oz, WTI prices would have to rise by about 22%, to $128.86/bbl, in order to reach their long-term average in terms of gold. As mentioned earlier, such an increase would drive up retail gasoline prices by somewhere between $0.65 and $0.75 per gallon.

At this point, we can be certain that, unless gold prices come down, gasoline prices are going to go up -- by a lot. And, because the dollar is currently a floating, undefined, fiat currency, there is no inherent limit to how far the price of gold in dollars can rise, and therefore no ultimate ceiling on gasoline prices.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke uses a "core CPI index" that excludes food and energy to guide monetary policy. From Big Ben's point of view, rising gasoline prices are not a problem. For the rest of us, they are becoming a big problem.

Over the centuries, gold has been "the golden constant". Eventually, all prices equilibrate with gold. This is why gold represents the best available standard in terms of which to define the value of a monetary unit. Forty-one years ago, when the value of the dollar was defined in terms of gold at $35/oz, WTI was selling for $3.56/bbl.

Right now, the threat posed by rising gasoline prices is not just to family budgets. An even greater danger is that the government will use escalating oil prices as an excuse to do something stupid.

After President Nixon abrogated the Bretton Woods monetary arrangement in stages starting in September 1971, both gold prices and oil prices started to rise. The government responded by imposing wage-price controls. This made a bad situation much worse.

This time around, the stupid policies being considered to "deal with" rising gasoline prices include additional cuts in payroll taxes and higher taxes on energy producers.

During the 1970s, the toxic combination of a weak dollar, high tax rates, and onerous regulations introduced a new word into America's economic vocabulary: stagflation. Reaganomics banished this word to the history books. Now, President Obama and Fed Chairman Bernanke are teaming up to give stagflation another try. It is not likely that Americans will like it any more this time around than they did 40 years ago.

Re: muslim assults athiest. muslim judge lets him walk.

Hey Bear,

I noted that in the AmericanAtheist Article of which you quoted; (and here's the link) :

http://atheists.org/blog/2012/02/22/muslim-attacks-atheist-muslim-judge-dismisses-case-blames-victim

The article mentions the video, and claims to share the link, but in fact, the link to the video is missing.

Here's the video link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yP-X3hpCfR8

Here is also another article covering the same court hearing:

http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2012/02/west_shore_judge_dismisses_har.html

Note that in the PennLive article, it states that the law enforcement officer was not present during the purported attack.

The web is now crawling with articles, all based on the AmericanAtheists' article; (and one other source); but I question whether Judge "Mark Martin" is in fact a Muslim. Don't all Muslims have to take some kind of a funky Islamic name?

No question that Muslims cannot get away with hiding behind Sharia, or a State Court of U.S. Court judge trying to inflict Sharia on our Court system, but in this case, I don't think that is what happened. This Atheist was in fact attempting to agitate and cause a disturbance. He was clearly an asshole.

Prefacing my view of this with the knowledge that I was not there during the court proceeding, and knowing that the AmericanAtheist has clearly misrepresented the truth in their article, I think the Judge probably ruled correctly.

This case is just disgusting. Sharia law is slowly coming to the U.S.
At least in the U.S. a judge can be removed.

Muslim Attacks Atheist. Muslim Judge Dismisses Case, Blames Victim.

The Pennsylvania State Director of American Atheists, Inc., Mr. Ernest
Perce V., was assaulted by a Muslim while participating in a Halloween
parade. Along with a Zombie Pope, Ernest was costumed as Zombie
Muhammad. The assault was caught on video, the Muslim man admitted to
his crime and charges were filed in what should have been an
open-and-shut case. That's not what happened, though.

The defendant is an immigrant and claims he did not know his actions
were illegal, or that it was legal in this country to represent
Muhammad in any form. To add insult to injury, he also testified that
his 9 year old son was present, and the man said he felt he needed to
show his young son that he was willing to fight for his Prophet.

The case went to trial, and as circumstances would dictate, Judge Mark
Martin is also a Muslim. What transpired next was surreal. The Judge
not only ruled in favor of the defendant, but called Mr. Perce a name
and told him that if he were in a Muslim country, he'd be put to
death. Judge Martin's comments included,

"Having had the benefit of having spent over 2 and a half years in
predominantly Muslim countries I think I know a little bit about the
faith of Islam. In fact I have a copy of the Koran here and I
challenge you sir to show me where it says in the Koran that Mohammad
arose and walked among the dead. I think you misinterpreted things.
Before you start mocking someone else's religion you may want to find
out a little bit more about it it makes you look like a dufus and Mr.
(Defendant) is correct. In many Arabic speaking countries something
like this is definitely against the law there. In their society in
fact it can be punishable by death and it frequently is in their
society.

Judge Martin then offered a lesson in Islam, stating,

"Islam is not just a religion, it's their culture, their culture. It's
their very essence their very being. They pray five times a day
towards Mecca to be a good Muslim, before you die you have to make a
pilgrimage to Mecca unless you are otherwise told you can not because
you are too ill too elderly, whatever but you must make the attempt.
Their greetings wa-laikum as-Salâm (is answered by voice) may god be
with you. Whenever, it's very common when speaking to each other it's
very common for them to say uh this will happen it's it they are so
immersed in it.

Judge Martin further complicates the issue by not only abrogating the
First Amendment, but completely misunderstanding it when he said,

"Then what you have done is you have completely trashed their essence,
their being. They find it very very very offensive. I'm a Muslim, I
find it offensive. But you have that right, but you're way outside
your boundaries or first amendment rights. This is what, and I said I
spent about 7 and a half years living in other countries. when we go
to other countries it's not uncommon for people to refer to us as ugly
Americans this is why we are referred to as ugly Americans, because we
are so concerned about our own rights we don't care about other
people's rights as long as we get our say but we don't care about the
other people's say"

But wait, it gets worse. The Judge refused to allow the video into
evidence, and then said,

"All that aside I've got here basically.. I don't want to say he said
she said but I've got two sides of the story that are in conflict with
each other."

And,

"The preponderance of, excuse me, the burden of proof… "

And,

"…he has not proven to me beyond a reasonable doubt that this
defendant is guilty of harassment, therefore I am going to dismiss the
charge"

The Judge neglected to address the fact that the ignorance of the law
does not justify an assault and that it was the responsibility of the
defendant to familiarize himself with our laws. This is to say
nothing of the judge counseling the defendant that it is also not
acceptable for him to teach his children that it is acceptable to use
violence in the defense of religious beliefs. Instead, the judge
gives Mr. Perce a lesson in Sharia law and drones on about the Muslim
faith, inform everyone in the court room how strongly he embraces
Islam, that the first amendment does not allow anyone " to piss off
other people and other cultures" and he was also insulted by Mr.
Perce's portrayal of Mohammed and the sign he carried.

This is a travesty. Not only did Judge Martin completely ignore video
evidence, but a Police Officer who was at the scene also testified on
Mr. Perce's behalf, to which the Judge also dismissed by saying the
officer didn't give an accurate account or doesn't give it any weight.

Here is a link to the video that includes the audio of the Judge
during the trial:

Here's coverage of the incident from the local ABC affiliate

Needless to say, this is totally, completely and unequivocally
unacceptable. That a Muslim immigrant can assault a United States
citizen in defense of his religious beliefs and walk away a free man,
while the victim is chastised and insulted by a Muslim judge who then
blamed the victim for the crime committed against him is a horrible
abrogation.

This reeks of those cases we used to read about where a woman is
blamed for her own rape because she "was asking for it" by virtue of
the clothing she chose to wear, and then having the Judge set the
rapist free.

I can promise you this, you have not heard the last of this issue. Not
by a long shot.

TENNESSEE: Where real men don’t bow down to the Muslim thugocracy in America

New post on Bare Naked Islam

TENNESSEE: Where real men don't bow down to the Muslim thugocracy in America

by barenakedislam

The group that hired an anti-Muslim training organization to teach part of a seminar to police officers in Tennessee is defending itself against subsequent criticism by arguing that the media should really be focusing on Muslim groups like CAIR and ISNA that are trying to "infiltrate every phase of our society at every level" in order to "alter the mindset and agendas of our society for the overthrow of our Constitution and the implementation of Sharia Islamic Law."

TPM Last week, the Tennessee Freedom Coalition released a defense of the seminar, in response to complaints from groups like the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Islamic Center of Murfreesboro, and various other Islamic groups.

The blog post, written by TFC board member Jonna Bianco, explains that it is in response to those complaints and members of the media "that simply can't seem to get their facts straight or the truth reported accurately."

Earlier this week, a number of police officers in Murfreesboro, Tennessee attended a training seminar that was taught by John Guandolo of the Virginia-based Strategic Engagement Group (SEG). Guandolo has claimed, among other things, that Muslims should not get First Amendment rights, and in the seminar described how Islamic centers could be potential military compounds.

"This training is based on facts, court documents, and incontrovertible evidence," Bianco writes in the statement. "This program does not contain any information which could be remotely construed as hate speech nor is any information provided or presented not accurate and true."

But, Bianco continues, some of the information provided is "not popular."

"These Islamic organizations simply rely upon their repeated threats and pressures of the local and national media and their political influence," Bianco continues, "brought about by their financial contributions and fund raisers for various politicians over the past several years to try and discredit anyone who speaks out against Islam, their intentions, goals and objectives by calling them Islamophobists, bigots, racists, etc."

The real threat, Bianco says, is not what SEG presented, but is in fact the influence CAIR and ISNA have in our society:

If you go to both of these groups' own websites, you will clearly see their goals and objectives outlined for public view of their intent to infiltrate every phase of our society at every level, including but not limited to our education system beginning with our elementary schools under the guise of "cultural education" clear through to our Universities via their Muslim Students Associations, to government and political offices, law enforcement agencies on all fronts including local, state and federal; all for the purpose and with the clear intent to alter the mindset and agendas of our society for the overthrow of our Constitution and the implementation of Sharia Islamic Law.

"Islam believes that Shariah Law supersedes the U.S. Constitution and all must submit to Islam or pay the price," Bianco writes, "which in most cases the ultimate price is death if you choose to not submit to Islam."

The Tennessee Freedom Coalition is no stranger to hosting Islamophobe-friendly events. It once played host to anti-Islam Dutch Parliamentarian Geert Wilders, who spoke at a free barbecue lunch. "I compare Islam not with Christianity and Judaism. I compare Islam with fascism and communism," Wilders said at the event.

And the Executive Director of the TFC, Lou Ann Zelenik, made an unsuccessful bid for Congress in 2010, and used her opposition to the controversial plans to build a mosque in Murfreesboro as a central tenet of her campaign.

Guandolo himself is a former FBI agent who became as a speaker about the threat of Islamic terrorism, and he and SEG have run a number of these kinds of seminars in the past few years.
