A British Perpective .....................on Islamic Extremism and the UK Government

THIS IS A GOOD READ & THE LADY'S SENTIMENTS ARE SOUND AND HONOURABLE

A British Housewife Speaks Out [ a must read ]

"Thought you might like to read this letter to the editor of a British national newspaper.
Ever noticed how some people just seem to know how to write a good letter?.

Here is a woman who should run for Prime Minister!

Written by a housewife, to her daily newspaper. This is one pissed off lady.

Are we fighting a war on terror or aren't we? Was it or was it not started by Islamic people who brought it to our shores in July 2002, and in New York on 11 Sept 2001, and have continually threatened to do so since?

Were people from all over the world, not brutally murdered that day in London , and in downtown Manhattan , and in a field in Pennsylvania ?

Did nearly three thousand men, women and children die a horrible, burning or crushing death that day, or didn't they?

And I'm supposed to care that a few Taliban were claiming to be tortured by a justice system of the nation they come from and are fighting against in a brutal insurgency.

I'll start caring when Osama bin Laden turns himself in and repents for incinerating all those innocent people on 9/11 and 7/7.

I'll care about the Koran when the fanatics in the Middle East start
caring about the Holy Bible, the mere belief of which is a crime
punishable by beheading in Afghanistan

I'll care when these thugs tell the world they are sorry for hacking off Nick Berg's head while Berg screamed through his gurgling slashed throat.

I'll care when the cowardly so-called 'insurgents' in Afghanistan come out and fight like men instead of disrespecting their own religion by hiding in mosques and behind women and children.

I'll care when the mindless zealots who blow themselves up in search of Nirvana care about the innocent children within range of their suicide bombs.

I'll care when the British media stops pretending that their freedom of speech on stories is more important than the lives of the soldiers on the ground or their families waiting at home to hear about them when something happens.

In the meantime, when I hear a story about a British soldier roughing up an Insurgent terrorist to obtain information, know this:

I don't care.

When I see a wounded terrorist get shot in the head when he is told not to move because he might be booby-trapped, you can take this to he bank:

I don't care.

When I hear that a prisoner - who was issued a Koran and a prayer mat, and 'fed special food' that is paid for by my taxes - is complaining that his holy book is being 'mishandled,' you can absolutely believe in your heart of hearts:

I don't care.

And oh, by the way, I've noticed that sometimes it's spelled 'Koran' and other times 'Quran.'
Well, believe me!! you guessed it ......

I don't care!!

If you agree with this viewpoint, pass this on to all your E-mail friends. Sooner or later, it'll get to the people responsible for this ridiculous behaviour!

If you don't agree, then by all means hit the delete button. Should you choose the latter, then please don't complain when more atrocities committed by radical Muslims happen here in our great country! And may I add:

'Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference in the world.

Our soldiers don't have that problem.'

I have another quote that I would like to add, AND.......I hope you forward all of this.

Only five defining forces have ever offered to die for you:

1. Jesus Christ

2. The British Soldier.

3. The Canadian Soldier.

4. The US Soldier, and

5. The Australian Soldier

One died for your soul, the other four for your freedom.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO PASS THIS ON, AS MANY SEEM TO FORGET ABOUT ALL OF THEM.
AMEN!"


I GIVE THIS LADY A STANDING OVATION, SHE HAS INDEED TICKED ALL THE BOXES

Isn't it interesting that so many people in the Western World feel this way, but not one of our politicians, who are supposed to represent us, ever have the guts to state the situation like it is ???

The Kuala Lumpur of 2020 – Truly an Unbelievable Pipe Dream







A 10 year Plan for a Greater Kuala Lumpur



Judge for yourself.



Political Pipe Dream* or Farcical Fantasy?



Read full story HERE & HERE

A 'pipe dream' is a fantastic hope, or plan, that is generally regarded as being nearly impossible to achieve, the term originated in the 19th Century, as an allusion to the dreams experienced by smokers of opium pipes.



Couldn't post this earlier,


I was laughing too much...................



I hope I am wrong, but in my humble opinion 2010 is far too near, the pipe dream will remain just that a dream!



Pigs may fly.



or is it


Is it pie in the sky!

Observation on Politicians

"There is nothing so bad that politics cannot make it worse."


"There is nothing that politicians like better than handing out benefits to be paid for by someone else."


"In politics, the truth is strictly optional and that also seems to be true in parts of the media."


"You have to have a sense of humour if you follow politics. Otherwise, the sheer fraudulence of it all will get you down."


"What is history but the story of how politicians have squandered the blood and treasure of the human race?"


"If politicians stopped meddling with things they didn’t understand, there would be a more drastic reduction in the size of government than anyone in either party advocates."


"Congressman Frank and Senator Dodd wanted the government to push financial institutions to lend to people they would not lend to otherwise, because of the risk of default. ... The idea that politicians can assess risks better than people who have spent their whole careers assessing risks should have been so obviously absurd that no one would take it seriously."

'Malaysia intolerant of dissent'





REUTERS reports that -

“Malaysia arrested nearly 1,000 anti-government protesters in 2009, signalling 'heightened intolerance', an influential and independent human rights group said on Wednesday.
Political tensions rose in this South-east Asian country following record 2008 polls losses by the government now led by Prime Minister Najib Razak.” Tensions are still high and could rise further with the sodomy trial of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim resuming next month.

“Power abuse by law enforcers on the uptrend: Suaram report

Abuse of power by the police and other law enforcement agencies was on the uptrend last year, according to Suara Rakyat Malaysia's (Suaram) civil and political rights report 2009. The report also highlighted the Government’s resistance to reform and greater compliance with human rights standards, along with a heightened intolerance towards dissent. Nine people were detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) and more than 1,000 people were still being held under the Emergency Ordinance and the Dangerous Drugs Act in 2009, the report said. It said according to the official government statistics, deaths in police custody continued to occur, with seven cases recorded. There were also 88 deaths caused by police shootings in 2009.............................................................”

"Force always attracts men of low morality." -- Albert Einstein



"When will the world wake up and realize that most politicians, especially in the poorest countries of the world, are nothing more than glorified gangsters who view government as simply a fiercely-guarded monopoly on every form of compulsion and extortion to be perpetrated in a specific geographical area?
Why do you think the largest amounts of 'foreign aid' extracted from the gullible diplomats of wealthier countries wind up in those politicians' pockets or Swiss bank accounts, despite all the virtuous-sounding rhetoric?"

Haris on Najib


Synopsis of the conversation

The 3rd April 2010 marked the one-year anniversary of Najib Razak's PM-ship.

Since taking office, much (especially talking) has taken place under his watch: the propagation of the '1Malaysia' concept; the economic crisis and subsequent unveiling of the 'New Economic Model'; the rising tide of racial and religious tensions. In addition, many new, bewildering, and most probably meaningless, acronyms have appeared

Has the past year been kind to Malaysia's 6th Prime Minister?

Or, are the odds increasingly stacked against him?

What challenges and dangers lie ahead for the Najib administration, and for Malaysia?

Hear what Haris Ibrahim has to say about these matters and more.

From the New York Times, read it in full by clicking HERE


“One ought to be able to laugh at the absurdity of it.

But the message is one of ignorance, religious and racial prejudice and political opportunism......................................”
