A thought provoking opinion. "The mainstream media, U.S. State Department, and President Obama fed us a steady stream of news in 2011 that Egyptian youth were protesting in the streets for an Arab Spring of democratic reforms in Egypt. Fast forward to 2012 and we learned The Muslim Brotherhood orchestrated the propaganda of democracy in Egypt to get support from the Obama Administration in the ousting of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak." counterjihadreport.com/2012/11/10/the-islamic-threat-doctrine-and-9112012-2/

Denmark: Muslim majority in local board cancels decades-old Christmas tradition, finances Eid party with 10,000 USD The final remark about a "lack of tolerance and inclusiveness from the new majority" is probably the most important. Translated by Nicolai Sennels, dr.dk "Muslims cancel Christmas celebration in housing area": The housing area Egedalsvænge in Kokkedal, Denmark, will not have a Christmas tree with lights this year. A small Muslim majority in the Egedalsvænge Board has refused to spend money on the Christmas tree a few days after a big Eid celebration.... For decades it has been a tradition to have a Christmas tree with lights in the area between the buildings throughout the month of December. But now a majority in the Chamber Board refused to spend the approximately 1,000 dollars that a Christmas tree with lights costs. The decision has attracted much attention since it was made three days after a big Islamic Eid party in Egedalsvænge. A mobile play ground, bungee jumping and a climbing wall was rented to make the Muslim celebration attractive for children and adults, and this event the Board had agreed to finance with appr. 10,000 dollars. Although the small majority in the Chamber Board of Directors was democratically elected at the general meeting in September, the new course has surprised many. It is a sign of a lack of tolerance and inclusiveness from the new majority in the fund's board of directors, says one person from the Egedalsvænge, where many refuse to talk to the media. mychristianblood.blogspirit.com/ ... old-c.html Belgium. No Christmas tree with lights this year. Also no Christmas tree in Brussels. Brussels Bans ‘Offensive’ Christmas Tree For Muslims Government officials in Brussels, Belgium banned Wednesday a popular Christmas tree exhibit out of concerns that the local Muslim population found it “offensive.” An “electronic winter tree,” will take the place of the traditional Christmas Tree and Nativity scene at the city center of Grand Place, reports Brussels News. The electronic sculpture will stand 25 meters (82 feet) tall and consists of a set of television screens, reports Brussels Expat. “During the daytime you can climb to the top of the tree where you will be able to enjoy a panoramic view of the city,” the website explains. “As soon as it becomes dark the tree turns into a spectacle of light and sound. Every ten minutes an amazing show will unfold.” City councilwoman Bianca Debaets believes a “misplaced argument” over religious sensitivities has moved Brussels to put up the light sculpture. She points to the fact that it display not be referred to “Christmas” in any way to make her point. “I suspect that the reference to the Christian religion was the decisive factor” in replacing the tree, she told reporters. “For a lot of people who are not Christians, the tree there is offensive to them.” Many cities in Belgium have thriving Muslim populations. A 2008 study showed Muslims make up 25.5-percent of the population of Brussels, 3.9-percent of Flanders, and 4.0-percent of Wallonia. Two Muslims elected to the Brussels city council last month have vowed to turn Belgium into a Muslim state based on Sharia law, as previously reported. “Must a historic city like Brussels be sensitive to traditions? And should be a multi-religious city like Brussels not leave room for the individuality of every philosophy?,” Debaets asks. Other city officials insists the move was not made to placate Muslims or other groups. Nicolas Dassonville, spokesman for Mayor Thielemans (PS), said the Nativity scene will remain at Grand Place The tree’s sponsor, electricity generator Electrabel, made the move to put up the electronic sculpture this year, Dassonville said.

The Great Sphinx and the pyramids of Giza are now the target of a radical Salafist jihadist leader. Murgan Salem al-Gohary, 50, an Islamist leader twice-sentenced under former President Hosni Mubarak for advocating violence, told Egyptian media that the historical landmarks are 'idolatrous' and must be destroyed. The threats are being taken seriously as ten years ago Gohary helped smash a pair of giant Buddha statues in Afghanistan. Egyptian newspaper al-Masry al-Youm said Gohary is a jihadist leader with links to the Taliban, reported the Jerusalem Post. 'The idols and statutes that fill Egypt must be destroyed. Muslims are tasked with applying the teachings of Islam and removing these idols, just like we did in Afghanistan when we smashed the Buddha statues,' Gohary said in a Saturday night television interview, according to al-Masry al-Youm. His comments came a day after thousands of ultraconservative Islamists gathered in Tahrir Square to call for the strict application of Sharia law in the new constitution. He is issuing the same call as supreme Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar did in 2001 when he issued an edict against un-Islamic graven images, which means all idolatrous images of humans and animals. As a result, the Taliban destroyed all ancient sculptures, using explosives, tanks, and anti-aircraft weapons blew apart a pair of giant Buddhas in Bamiyan Province, 230 kilometers (150 miles) from the capital of Kabul.

LOL!
Destroy the pyramids? All I can say is ... "good luck with that."
It would take more explosives than the entire Taliban possesses to even make a dent in those structures.
Something tells me, though, that the world would not tolerate an attack on such historic monuments ... should they even attempt such a thing. Those ridiculous people flap their gums all the time but they're too impotent and lack the political clout to do anything other than set off bombs.
Don't get me wrong though, we should take the threat seriously. If I had my way, every time one of these loud-mouthed imams and Islamic bullyboys opened their mouths to declare their intentions, they should be immediately arrested (or shot if they resist) and thrown indefinitely into Guantanamo.

I'd like to believe you're right, but I think you're mistaken on this one.

Perhaps. But taking on the Giza Plateau is a far cry more difficult than destroying some statues in a region you control.
You can't reasonably destroy the pyramids using 120mm gunfire from tanks. It would take you years to pound through all of that stone. Even the laying of explosives to down something like that would take a very long time ... and more explosives than they probably have.
And the pyramids are much more well known to the world than those statues, and it's the bread and butter of the Egyptian economy ... not that 7th Century morons care about such things, but I think the world will care. An impoverished Egypt means an unstable Egypt, and it would take little effort to send in either the UN or a coalition force to stop them.
I think the Taliban and its affiliates know it. They can ill-afford another war on a different front.

"Arab terrorists Wednesday attacked the south with four Katyusha rockets either from the Sinai or from Gaza through the Sinai. No one was injured, and no property damage was reported, but at least one missile exploded between homes. One of the rockets was fired towards the community of Bnei Netzarim without causing any injuries, a security source said. The Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood government is ostensibly responsible for protecting the Sinai from terrorists." www.voiceofthecopts.org/index.php/categories/news/9234-four-rocket-attacks-via-sinaiI doubt that you will see this reported on the good old BBC eh..

Do we have a Bible and Christian hate thread from you as well? If it's balance you feel is lacking, do feel free to discuss the issue that concerns you. This is, after all, a free speech site.
