Would an all gay military catch Osama bin Laden?

Yea I know I know......it's a stupid question.

A friend of mine said to me recently: "What's wrong with the world today is that there are too many stupid people".  This video illustrates just that:

Artist Gil Vicente should be locked up in jail for inciting violence

He should also be forced to permanently wear a clown suit with a note attached to his back saying "I'm not funny, but feel free to make fun of me for being a dunce", and he must share his jail cell with Ahmadinejad.

Unbelievable!

This is just plain wrong no matter how you look at it.

Muslim Americans Defend Freedom of Speech

Let their voices be heard!

A DEFENSE OF FREE SPEECH BY AMERICAN AND CANADIAN MUSLIMS

We, the undersigned, unconditionally condemn any intimidation or threats of violence directed against any individual or group exercising the rights of freedom of religion and speech; even when that speech may be perceived as hurtful or reprehensible.

We are concerned and saddened by the recent wave of vitriolic anti-Muslim and anti-Islamic sentiment that is being expressed across our nation.

We are even more concerned and saddened by threats that have been made against individual writers, cartoonists, and others by a minority of Muslims. We see these as a greater offense against Islam than any cartoon, Qur’an burning, or other speech could ever be deemed.

We affirm the right of free speech for Molly Norris, Matt Stone, Trey Parker, and all others including ourselves.

As Muslims, we must set an example of justice, patience, tolerance, respect, and forgiveness.

The Qur’an enjoins Muslims to:
* bear witness to Islam through our good example (2:143);
* restrain anger and pardon people (3:133-134 and 24:22);
* remain patient in adversity (3186);
* stand firmly for justice (4:135);
* not let the hatred of others swerve us from justice (5:8);
* respect the sanctity of life (5:32);
* turn away from those who mock Islam (6:68 and 28:55);
* hold to forgiveness, command what is right, and turn away from the ignorant (7:199);
* restrain ourselves from rash responses (16:125-128);
* pass by worthless talk with dignity (25:72); and
* repel evil with what is better (41:34).

American people's disenchantment with government

Voters' anxiety level continues to build in anticipation of the November 2nd judgement day, yet true leadership with clear vision remains to be seen, as the nation seems to be even more divided now.  Nevertheless I suspect conservatives will come out ahead, simply because they are the ones who are more determined and more passionate about change this time around.

Possible proof that Geert Wilders might be MENTAL on top of everything else

One of the hottest topics in Dutch news today:

An online vendor sells this T-shirt, using Theo van Gogh's image to help raise funds for Geert Wilders.

Geert Wilders party website links to it to help maximize sales.

Then Theo van Gogh's family gets upset with Geert Wilders for exploiting the tragic loss of their loved one for profit.

Geert Wilders then has the link removed from his party website.

Some people seem amused by it all and others react with disgust.

But business still continues as usual....

The ADL, various Dutch MPs and special interest groups all tried but failed to stop Fascist Dictator Geert Wilders from giving his 9/11 speech at Ground Zero

In an interview with Dutch newspaper NRC Handelsblad, Anti-Defamation League spokesperson Oren Segal said:

"In our opinion it would be in very bad taste if someone with Wilders' reputation comes to speak in New York to spread his message of intolerance and hatred, especially on September 11.

Mr Segal also said that "it's a flagrant violation of freedom of religion, which is one of the founding principles of this country, and the "Stop the Islamization of America" organization that invited Wilders to speak is misusing concerns about Muslim extremism to spread more intolerance".

Meanwhile, Geert Wilders still insists that his Gound Zero show must go on and has also added an interview with David Letterman to his NY 9/11 itinerary.

And in Dutch news today all the buzz is about "Wilders the Movie", a VPRO documentary about Geert Wilders' life, which originally included an anonymous source sharing rumors about Wilders' sex-life and frequent use of prostitutes, but the segment was forced to be edited out before the show airs in Holland on Sunday September 12th. 

See YouTube trailer where said "rumors" remain unedited:

Also today, Geert Wilders was officially notified that he's expected to stand trial for incitement to hatred and hate speech charges on October 4, 6, 8, 12, 15 and 19, after which the verdict will be announced on November 2, which also happens to be the Anniversary of Theo van Gogh's murder by Muslim extremist Mohamed Bouyeri.  Needless to say, Wilders is not too happy about this and he's already complaining about an "unfair trial", because he was only granted 3 witnesses by the court, instead of 18 witnesses and experts as he requested.

I'm afraid this is not going to end well, no matter how you look at it.  It's going to get plain old ugly before it gets any better, simply because Geert Wilders serves a higher purpose (.....fill in the dots) that seems to be beyond the reach of any democratic process.  But who knows, maybe the justice system will prevail.

The fact still remains that Geert Wilders is not only the fascist leader of the Dutch Freedom Party, but also its sole member - who is bent on driving his self-made fascist apparatus on pure hatred and chauvinistic intolerance towards immigrants, especially Moroccans and Muslims.  He insists on retaining absolute dictatorial control and continues to call all the shots, despite persistent pressure from his following, asking him to allow others to become members of his party as well, as it is standard practice in the democratic process.

Germany's leading Jewish group condemns plans for Koran burning in Florida

Yep, yet another dark page in the history of mankind.

What a painful reminder this must be!

My heart goes out to the German Jewish community, and many thanks for their amazing courage to speak up!  This is so saddening.  Clearly humanity is going backwards.  If we haven't learned anything from our mistakes in the past and then look around us only to see our world in even more disarray and full of hatred, how can we really claim to be civilized?

Knobloch said the planned action by the Dove World Outreach Center reminded her of the burning of "un-German" literature organised by the Nazi party in 1933 that foreshadowed the killing of some 6 million Jews during World War Two.

"Where people burn books, in the end they burn people," she said in a statement, referring to a quotation from 19th century German author Heinrich Heine inscribed on a plaque in central Berlin where the Nazis burned books.

Doctors against Obamacare urge patients to vote against Democrats

Why is a 2 year old death threat to Geert Wilders released today?

Why is this headline news?

And why is Geert Wilders shocked to learn about this death threat today instead of 2 years ago?

ClHaatprediker: dood aan Wilders - Telegraaf.nl

Is this merely an attempt by the Dutch authorities to intimidate Geert Wilders, considering that all other attempts to stop him from holding a speech at Ground Zero on 9/11 have failed?

Or is this just a way for the Dutch authorities to jump on "the new and improved war on Islam" bandwagon that's taking the world by a storm since the Ground Zero mosquerade?

I hope there is a good reason for this, because none of this makes sense to me anymore.
