World Affairs

Written August 4, 2009

1. The Sudan. Sudanese police beat up women who were protesting the trial of another woman for the "crime" of "indecency." The offense: wearing slacks in a cafe, contrary to Islamic Sharia law. Although this woman decided to fight the charges to publicize the issue, about 10 others were already punished - by flogging. Does Jimmy Carter love these people too, like he does with Hamas/ the palestinians. After all, they are instituting sharia law also.

2. Nigeria. A country of 140,000,000 people, divided between muslims and Christians. A radical islamic sect - Boko Haram - used guns, knives and machetes to attack police stations, military barracks, and churches. Churches even! Can someone remind me again about what a peace loving people the muslims are.

3. Australia. Authorities there were able to thwart planned attacks a military base by: those peace loving people. The attackers were said to be linked to an Al Qaeda group in Somalia. The plan was to enter the base with guns blasting away and kill as many as possible before the attackers were themselves killed. You see how just talking to the muslim world has CHANGED everything. Hope and change, hope and change.

4. USA. President Obama plans to award the Presidential Medal of Freedom to one Mary Robinson, the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights. She has the distinction of presiding over the 2001 UN Durban conference on racism, which descended into a conference attacking Israel. It got so bad that our then Sec. of State Colin Powell withdrew from the conference. But Ms. Robinson saw fit to equate anti-semitism and the Holocaust with the suffering of the "palestinians" caused by "displacement and military occupation."
So here's a question: why would this woman's anti-semitic and anti-Israel rantings bother Obama any more than those of Rev. Wright, his "mentor" by his own admission. What will it take for my liberal friends to see that not only is Obama NOT offended by such comments, but he joins in on the attacks on Israel himself!

5. Israel. Fatah (the "moderate" - Ha - Abbas' party) continues to indicate they will not recognize Israel's right to exist. Of course, Hamas will not recognize Israel either. But Obama is determined to reward these terrorists by surrounding Israel with a "palestinian" state. Meanwhile, the Obama Administration has not only told the Israelis that they may not expand even within existing settlements, but they also may not do any further construction within Jerusalem! A "foreign" country (the USA) is telling Israel that they cannot build within their capital city! That would be like the USA being told NO MORE CONSTRUCTION IN WASHINGTON, D.C. So why would Mary Robinson's (see no.4) anti-Israel attitudes bother Obama one iota? Remember, 88% of Israelis felt that George Bush supported Israel. 6% feel the same about Obama. Bush at least tried to stand up to evil. Obama wants to have tea and crumpets with evil.
