Rising Attacks against Jews
Cause of Anti-Semitism Unclear: French Report Worst Increases
Above is the actual newspaper headline: reading the article makes it completely clear that the cause of worsening anti-Semitic violence in France is Arabs! Muslim immigrants are the perps, obviously, judging from the not-so-veiled mention of the intifada as running parallel to the current rise in crimes against Jews.
Apparently the press would prefer that the thugs be white Europeans rather than Muslim immigrants. They wouldn't want to disturb the sanctity of diversity ideology. Multiculti uber alles.
Racial Abuse Linked to Hunter Shooting
This is shocking blame-the-victims tripe from the Washington Times. Six American hunters were killed, four of them shot in the back, by Hmong immigrant Chai Vang, and "white racism" is cited as an understandable cause. A Hmong message board poster proclaimed, "Let me be crystal clear — he [Vang] shot them because he is proud to be Hmong." Vang complained that he was harassed with racist speech by the Americans on whose land he was trespassing and he shot them on that account. When arrested, Vang also said that one of the Americans had shot all the others, but the media conveniently forget what a demonstrable liar he is and have continued to repeat his version of the crime.
The article contains no mention that the Hmong have refused to assimilate to American laws concerning hunting and conservation. A Chicago sports columnist stated, "There is no delicate way to put this: The Hmongs have a notorious reputation among white sportsmen in the upper Midwest."
Hmong are an illiterate, primitive culture who have brought many repugnant and illegal practices with them, including child marriage, polygamy, marriage by capture (kidnapping), and animal sacrifice shamanism.
Wasn't immigration supposed to be a positive influence for American society? It has devolved into a masochistic experiment to see how much abuse our values of gender equality, environmental preservation and child protection etc. can withstand.

Freedom House, the watchdog organization for religious freedom worldwide has released a new report showing that Saudi influence in this nation is an ongoing fifth-column operation: Saudis claim to be our friends while they continue to disseminate the worst anti-American poison in mosques in the United States. Jihad expert Robert Spencer agrees with the estimate that 80 percent of American mosques have extremist leadership. In gathering materials for the report, Freedom House analyzed more than 200 publications, most in Arabic, from mosques and Islamic centers in Los Angeles, Dallas, Oakland, Calif., Houston, Chicago, New York and Washington.
The lengthy report (downloadable here) found that Saudi government-produced textbooks and other publications condemned democracy because it is by definition secular and not based on Islamic law. The documents stress that Muslims residing in America are essentially living behind enemy lines and must use their situation to weaken American society, e.g. learning new skills or making a pile of money to be used later against the infidels.
The Wahhabist strain favored by Saudis insists that women be segregated from men, anyone converting out of Islam be murdered and the state of Israel be destroyed.
More details came out in the pre-trial hearing about the brutal Amsterdam assassination committed by Islamic extremist Mohammed Bouyeri. Witnesses agreed that the killer acted with great calm in the shooting of Van Gogh, who had angered Muslims for his film "Submission" which condemned Islam for the barbaric treatment of women. The murder was ritualized by the sacrificial slaughter of a lamb by the killer's cronies.
The defendant's attorney said Bouyeri agrees with the interpretation of Dutch Finance Minister Gerrit Zalm that Van Gogh's killing was a declaration of war.
Ever suspect that almost all Mexican "immigrants" are actually lawbreaking illegal aliens? Here's a statement on the topic from an expert:
"Jeffrey Passel, a demographer with the Pew Hispanic Center who has studied the issue, said that nationally, 80 to 85 percent of all Mexican immigration since 1990 was undocumented, while among other immigrant groups, a great majority had entered legally.
'Any place that's getting a lot of new immigration from Mexico, virtually all of it is undocumented,' Mr. Passel said..."
Time is growing short to gather enough signatures to put the illegal alien drivers license issue on the ballot, where state voters will surely reject the idiotic idea of giving legal identification to lawbreaking foreigners.

Multicultural Netherlands is a place where Muslims demand that a woman protecting herself during a robbery be arrested. An Amsterdam purse-snatch ended with the victim backing her car into the Morrocan perp as she tried to retrieve her handbag, killing him in the process. So hundreds of Muslims marched to demand that she be prosecuted for the "racial" killing.
Politician Geert Wilders opposed any legal steps against the victim, saying, "Arresting the woman makes the victim the criminal and the criminal a victim. It's turning the world on its head."
Furthermore, the multicultural institute Forum told the Moroccans to "Stop playing the victim."
Unsurprisingly, a recent poll revealed that most Dutch regard Muslims as a threat. Only 19 percent of Dutch did not see Muslims in their nation as dangerous.
Just in time for the Presidential inauguration, there is an alert for terrorists. The tip reported that there were four Chinese nationals and two Iraqis who were smuggled across the Mexican border.
Pictured is the Armanious family (Hossam, Amal Garas, Sylvia and Monica) of Jersey City, NJ, who were brutally murdered in their home. The four were found bound, gagged and stabbed to death Jan. 14, 2005. The police and FBI are investigating whether the killers were Muslims angered by Hossam's critical remarks about Islam in an internet chat room. He reportedly received death threats for his outspoken views.
Hundreds of mourners attended the procession and funeral for the family on Monday. The Coptic community is angry, frightened and wants the killers found.
Like many Coptic Christians, the Armanious family immigrated to America to escape the persecution and violence which are the norm in Egypt and other majority-Muslim nations. It is both tragic and deeply disturbing that they would be murdered in this country where Christians are supposed to be safe.
Update: There's is no doubt regarding the identity of the killers in this press release: U.S. Copts Association Decries Slaying By Muslim Extremists of Coptic-American Family.
Americans' legendary short attention span must be at work here, plus the intensity of the war on terrorists obliterating important memories. Citizens have apparently forgotten the threat from a top general in the Chinese People's Liberation Army to vaporize Los Angeles with nuclear weapons.
The Zogby Poll found that Americans' top concerns about China are human rights, followed by loss of U.S. jobs, greater militarization and environmental issues. Half of opinion leaders and a third of citizens consider Chinese immigration to be a good thing, while more than 40 percent of each group said it has no impact. Only 3 percent of elites and 17 percent of regular Americans saw Chinese immigration as a threat.
The job market in the state lost ground in December, with employment in the minus 25,000 territory. The unemployment rate doesn't appear so bad at 5.8%, but the number is low because so many people have given up on looking for a job. In fact, "Northern California is still in a recession," according to Esmael Adibi, an economist at Chapman University in Orange.
California companies added 152,300 workers to their payrolls during 2004, but that failed to keep pace with population growth.
And even with job losses, the multiplying population results in increasing gridlock in the East Bay, which now has taken the dubious title of Worst Bay Area Traffic from the Silicon Valley.
Boston-area residents are becoming aware of how very dangerous the brutal Mara Salvatrucha gang (aka MS-13) has become. The Salvadorans have always been among the most violent gangs, but now they have made common cause with al Qaeda terrorists.
One feared outcome is shoulder-fired rockets being aimed at LNG (liquid natural gas) tankers passing through the Boston harbor by the Salvadoran gangsters in the employ of terrorists. Texas Congressman Solomon Ortiz has warned that "It's established that Mara Salvatrucha and al-Qaeda have had meetings. Middle Eastern people are willing to pay millions to get into this country."
In fact, East Boston, the territory of the Maratrucha gang, was the home of Qaeda terrorist Raed Hijazi, who trained the suicide bombers in the 2000 attack on the USS Cole.
Once again the state of California has shown its scorn for the will of the people, in this case for the use of English for teaching in the public schools as signaled by the defeat of a pro-English official. The voters clearly chose Prop. 227 in 1998 (by 61% - 39%) which mandated against so-called "bilingual" education, which is actually instruction in foreign languages, mostly Spanish.
Reed Hastings, who has previously served as Board of Education president, supported bilingual education until its ouster proved so successful in raising immigrant childrens' test scores. But no good deed goes unpunished in Sacramento, and the strength of the Mexican revanchists is apparently undiminished in the state capitol.
Hastings, a liberal Democrat and donor to the party, stated, "I'm disappointed for the 100,000 students who are in bilingual education and get less than 2 1/2 hours [daily] in English. They will have a hard time catching up and it's not fair."
In the wine country north of San Francisco, the desires of immigrant and illegal alien parents now take precedence over the wishes of Americans regarding the structure of the school year. Mexicans wanted a big chunk of time for Christmas vacations to Mexico, and the Napa school board conceded, creating a three-week winter break.
Of course, that time has to be made up, and Napa students will be stuck in classrooms a week longer in glorious June and must return to school August 18. Americans, whose taxes pay for the school system, are not happy that their family summer activities are being disrupted to please the Mexicans.
The St. Helena school district extended winter break beginning in 2001 for the same reason.
Here's some news from the Netherlands, a nation which demonstrates that immigration sanity can indeed be learned, albeit late in the game. This writer notes, "Since the murder of filmmaker Theo Van Gogh by a radical Muslim in November, things have not quite returned to normal in the Netherlands." And consider the following quote:
"A Swiss friend of mine attended an international conference on terrorism a few months ago where, to the displeasure of many participants, the Dutch representative lectured on the human rights of terrorists. At another conference in December, the same person declared that he would never again deliver such a lecture."
Fresno curanderos and Hmong shaman are doing a brisk business these days, no doubt due to the increasing numbers of potential customers. This article contains no mention of the anti-scientific attitudes and superstition typical of many recent immigrants, refugees and illegal aliens — that criticism wouldn't be nice in the multicultural paradise of California 2005.
Hmong beliefs are particularly bizarre to Americans, such as the notion that a frightening experience can make the soul flee from the body. Therefore an annual New Year's tune-up is thought advisable to return the soul to its human home.
More objectionable are instances where grotesque cultural practices result in animal cruelty, like the case of a Hmong shaman beating a German shepherd puppy to death so the puppy's soul would track down the evil spirit tormenting the shaman's wife. Is this the sort of diversity that is supposed to enrich America?
And despite the fact that California has $26 billion of budget-related debt (not counting the $30 billion in bonds for school construction, etc.), the state has received 3,103 high-maintenance Hmong in the latest refugee resettlement fiasco.
Check out the mind-bending quote at the end of this overview of the financial crisis facing New Jersey hospitals because of treating illegal alien for free:
"...[illegal] immigration is not really a crime. It's a social phenomenon that happens to be illegal."
And this gibberish is from a spokesman from a hospital association which is losing money hand over fist because of illegal immigration. Phew — send the man on a southern California vacation!
Here's a little standard-issue sob story about illegals being repatriated, with the usual cutesy kid pix (born in America — citizens!). But check out this factoid tucked amongst the melodrama: "The Chavezes' lawyer told them in cases such as theirs, U.S.-born children with some type of mental or physical problem have a better chance at winning legal residency for their parents."
That's our fine government, looking out for the American taxpayer's interest. Not. If the family had a crippled kid who required millions of dollars worth of medical care, they would probably be allowed to stay. No wonder our parks and libraries are closing down.
No surprise with these numbers considering how the southern border, particularly Arizona, has become a human on-ramp for millions of Mexicans and everyone else. After all, the total of illegal aliens was credibly calculated at 13 million in 2001 by economists at Northeastern University, and Time magazine stated that three million aliens enter annually. Do the math. If nothing changes, in 3-4 years there will be 30 million illegal aliens.
What is further shocking though, is the pricetag attached: an estimated $311 billion in unpaid taxes according to a Bear Stearns analyst quoted in Barron's.
The "cheap labor" provided by exploited aliens is getting more expensive by the minute. Yet President Bush still demands his amnesty which will only make the open-borders crisis exponentially worse. (National Debt Clock here.
