Africa North
Libyan Islamists desecrate graves of WWII Allied soldiers
Hitler’s Nazi Germany signed a “non-aggression” agreement with Stalin’s USSR in 1939 (the “Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact”). It meant nothing. It was a worthless peace of paper designed to ease the Nazi’s eventual conquest and extermination of all peoples in the Soviet sphere of influence: “Of the Soviet Union’s 190 million people, Hitler intended to kill 150 million and the rest would be made slaves for the invaders.” The Nazis did kill millions of Russians and Eastern Europeans. In the same way, Nazi Germany’s “alliance” with segments of the Arab/Muslim world was a short-term lie: The Germans considered North African Arab Semites to be sub-human inferiors whom I’m sure they would’ve eventually exterminated. As is so common in the current Arab/Muslim world, ignorance reigns, and Libyans have forgotten that Allied soldiers actually saved them from eventual extermination by defeating the Nazis in WWII’s north African theater. Libyan Islamists have ignorantly desecrated Allied soldiers’ tombs because of the silly, accidental Koran-burning incident in Afghanistan:

A furious mob has desecrated dozens of Commonwealth War Graves in a Libyan cemetery amid continuing fury in the Middle East over the burning of the Koran by U.S. soldiers.

Headstones commemorating British and Allied servicemen, killed during World War II campaigns in the Western Desert, lay smashed and strewn across Benghazi Military Cemetery. …

There is no “Arab Spring.” It is indeed an Arab winter in which hateful, violent Islamo-fascists are trying to take over the Middle East.

#1  Libyan Islamists have ignorantly desecrated Allied soldiers' tombs because they are ignorant Muslims, any other reason will do to fill in the blank. The dead soldiers of WWII had NOTHING to do with Afghanistan or the Koran. The rest of the world should expect nothing better of savages.

Busts of Churchill to be mailed back to 10 Downing Street by Libyan Islamists soon.

#3  Rather than pile on with another comment about savages behaving savagely, I have to ask: how does one properly dispose of a Koran? (and don't say with a thermonuclear explosion!)

#4  #3 - with great reverence, put it where the sun never shines.

#5  Proper disposal of a Koran? Burn it! Seriously, according to the imam invited by NPR.

#6  This is, sadly, nothing new for these monsters. After ELDORADO CANYON in '86, there's every indication that Khaddafi ordered the desecration of the remains of the two USAF crew killed in the attack (which were held for ransom afterward and the new Libyan government will not discuss the matter), as well as those of the crew of sloop Intrepid, lost in 1803 fighting another Islamic terrorist (whom, by-the-by, the US Government of the day really didn't want to face down either). And there have been rumors - I must identify them as such; for I'm having a dickens of a time locating the source I saw them at - that Khaddafi located the remains of the last missing crewman from the Lady Be Good and took his anger out on him as well.

#7  As I understand it Khadaffi got desecrated in the end. Karma.

#8  The video of 'daffy's demise is on Liveleak.

Olde Tyme Religion
Islam Uber Alles: Whether they will be a Muslim or a Dhimmi
The first law of human affairs is force. Before all other laws, the ballot box and appeals to reason is that primal law that enforces submission through violence. Islam is a religion built on that first law, forcing everyone to choose whether they will be the oppressors or the oppressed, whether they will be a Muslim or a Dhimmi.

The organizing force of Islam can be seen in urban gangs which react in much the same way to being 'disrespected'. When your religion is little more than an entitlement to be a thug, to elevate your way of life over that of everyone else, violent outrage over even the most minute sign of disrespect is to be expected. And when your beliefs are little more than an excuse to hate, rioting over a slight is the sacrament of your faith.

Islam did not expand through the persuasiveness of its illiterate child abusing founder, at least not beyond the initial persuasion that allowed him to gather bandit troops to raid, murder and enslave the multicultural peoples of the desert until there was nothing left but Muslims and their slaves. It expanded by force and it has gone on expanding by force. Faced with advanced civilizations, it has reacted with the violent petulant fury that is its spiritual heritage.

#1  Best line from the comments:

Those who beat their swords into plowshares wind up doing the plowing for those who didn't.

#2  In a nutshell: "Everyone is killing each other in Syria and some other places in the region, and the conflict might spread. What should we do about it?"

"How much does this cost you?"

"Nothing at all," I answered.

"Then let them kill each other as long as possible, which is to say for 30 years or so. Do you know," the ghastly Cardinal continued, "why really interesting wars last for 30 years? That has been true from the Peloponnesian War to my own century. First you kill the fathers, then you kill their sons. There aren't usually enough men left for a third iteration."

#3  The biggest known unknown is how much damage Iran can do to the world oil trade & how long that damage can persist. Many national economies are already on the brink of collapse.
