| 2004 Year of Islam in FRANCE |
| 12.27.04 (12:23 pm) [edit] |
|
By Hadi Yahmid, IOL Correspondent PARIS, December 26 (IslamOnline.net) – A perusal of the annals of 2004 in France makes it indeed the “year of Islam” with all its pluses and minuses for the sizable Muslim community. Topping the pluses are the conversion of a record 50,000 people to Islam, according to an Interior Ministry census, and big sales of books about Islam. Several TV programs on Islam and Muslims also proved to be a must-see and received due attention from the French. On the political landscape, two French citizens of North African origin cruised their way into the Senate. Alima Boumediene Thiery of the Greens Party and Bariza Khiari of the Socialist Party made big gains in the September 26 elections, securing their seats in the upper house of French parliament. Other success stories of Muslims in France include the one of top Comedian Jamel Debbouze, who is indeed a shining example of Muslims’ positive integration into French society. “I’m proud of being Muslim. I fast the holy month of Ramadan, never drink alcohol and do not smoke. I never thought about doing drugs,” Debbouze always repeats on TV interviews. The Muslim achievements in 2004 were crowned by the release of two French journalists who were held hostage in Iraq. French media thanked the country’s Muslim community in helping bring a smile to French faces a few days before Christmas. Leading newspapers also highlighted the pivotal role played by the leaders of the community to facilitate the release of Christian Chesnot and Georges Malbrunot. They thanked in particular Lhaj Thami Breze, the president of the Union of French Islamic Organizations (UOIF), and Dalil Boubakeur, chairman of the French Council for the Muslim Religion (CFCM), for their September visit to Iraq and their heartfelt feelings for their fellow citizens. Hijab Nonetheless, the year 2004 had some bad news of the sizable Muslim community, estimated at around 6 million. Hijab was indeed the thorniest issue that set off seismic waves in the country, especially after a bill banning the veil and religious insignia in state schools went into effect in September. The ruling Union for a Popular Movement (UMP) and the opposition Socialist Party (PS) joined forces and got the measure enacted. After it came into fruition at the beginning of the new school year in September, some 40 hijab-donned students were kicked out of state schools. One of the schoolgirls shaved her head to protest the ban on hijab, which is considered in Islam as obligatory and not a mere religious symbol. Cennet Doganay, 15, took off her hijab as she was entering the Louis Pasteur Lycee high school in Strasbourg, eastern France, only to reveal a bald head. The French measure triggered shock waves across the world, especially in Arab and Muslim countries, and was dismissed by the US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) as “discriminatory.” Former French interior minister Nicolas Sarkozy, who took over last month the leadership of the UMP, has long opposed the law, warning it would provoke a backlash among Muslims, who would view it as an “insult and punishment”. Sarkozy further suggested a bandana as a possible alternative to hijab. See ya later, suckers... Via: Islam-Online.net |

 The Battle of the Bulge which lasted from December 16, 1944 to January 25, 1945 was the largest land battle of World War II in which the United States participated. More than a million men fought in this battle including some 600,000 Germans, 500,000 Americans, and 55,000 British. The German military force consisted of two Armies with ten corps (equal to 29 divisions). While the American military force consisted of a total of three armies with six corps (equal to 31 divisions). At the conclusion of the battle the casualties were as follows: 81,000 U.S. with 19,000 killed, 1400 British with 200 killed, and 100,000 Germans killed, wounded or captured. Thank you, brave warriors. We shall never forget. Veterans Of The Battle Of The Bulge |

| What Could Be More Funny Than Going On A Republican Killing Spree? |
| 12.16.04 (8:55 am) [edit] |

You ready for a little humor folks? Well, prepare yourself for the comedy stylings of "Pat Rothfuss, a University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point faculty member, has He started "Your College Survival Guide" while still a UWSP student, continued writing while away at graduate school and has kept up the column since becoming an associate lecturer of English. The column, which Rothfuss pens under his own name and describes as "about 80 percent stupid humor," is an outlet for an almost fictionalized, crazed version of himself as the perpetual student, he said. Irreverent advice from past columns, which are published in The Pointer, UWSP's student newspaper, has included everything from corporate America to voodoo and prostitution. But a group of students from the UWSP College Republicans organization wasn't laughing Nov. 4 when a post-election Rothfuss column included phrases like "punching smug-looking Republicans in the mouth" and "key every car you see with a Bush bumper sticker." The column's premise was that Rothfuss was drunk while writing to himself, and it suggested, "why don't you go on a killing spree? I pet you can take out fixteen for sisteen republicans beofre they gun you down. Duke, youd' be like a heroe." Via: Right Wing News Yeah. All in good fun. |

| AIM Announces Most Underreported/Buried Stories of 2004 |
| 12.15.04 (8:18 am) [edit] |
|
Top Underreported/Buried Stories for 2004 1. How CBS and the Kerry campaign allegedly broke federal election law in trying to defeat President Bush. This is the subject of a Federal Election Commission complaint. 2. How liberals tried to use federal agencies to delay or censor Sinclair Broadcasting's airing of Stolen Honor, showing how John Kerry's anti-war testimony led to the torture of our Vietnam POWs. 3. The lies and inaccuracies in Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11, including the claim that the FBI didn't screen the Saudis who were in the U.S. and left shortly after 9/11 for terrorist connections. Also, Moore's claim on his web site that Iraqi terrorists were comparable to America's Revolutionary War heroes. 4. How the Senate Intelligence Committee report and the Lord Butler Report in England discredited Joe Wilson's charges against the Bush administration regarding Iraq seeking uranium from Africa. 5. How and why MIT's Dr. Richard Lindzen, perhaps the country's leading climatologist, doesn't accept the man-made global warming theory. 6. Revelations of John Kerry's documented presence at a meeting in which the Assassination of pro-Vietnam War senators was discussed, and which he failed to report. You really should go read the rest of this report. This is far too important to allow the media to throw down the memory hole. Via: Accuracy In Media |

| Day of Infamy |
| 12.07.04 (10:33 am) [edit] |
Franklin D. Roosevelt's Infamy SpeechDecember 8, 1941 "Yesterday, December 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan. The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack. It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace. The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu. Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island. Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation. As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense. Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory. I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again. Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger. With confidence in our armed forces - with the unbounded determination of our people - we will gain the inevitable triumph - so help us God. I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire." |

| Florida E-Vote Fraud Study Debunked |
| 12.07.04 (8:54 am) [edit] |

A study by Berkeley grad students and a professor showing anomalies with electronic-voting machines in Florida has been debunked by numerous academics who say the students used a faulty equation to reach their results and should never have released the study before getting it peer-reviewed. The study, released three weeks ago by seven graduate students from the University of California, Berkeley's Quantitative Methods Research Team and sociology professor Michael Hout, presented analysis showing a discrepancy in the number of votes Bush received in counties that used touch-screen voting machines versus counties that used other types of voting equipment. ... The analysis was not peer-reviewed, although Hout and the students said that seven professors examined their numbers. They would not speculate about what occurred with the voting machines, but voting activists on internet forums seized the study as proof of faulty voting machines or election fraud. Drexel University's McCullough, however, found fault with the study. "What they did with their model is wrong, and their results are flawed," McCullough said. "They claim those results have some meaning, but I don't know how they can do that." McCullough said they focused on one statistical model to conduct their analysis while ignoring other statistical models that would have produced opposite results. "They either overlooked or did not bother to find a much better-fitting (statistical) regression model that showed that e-voting didn't account (for the voting anomalies)," McCullough said. Charles Stewart, an MIT political science professor, called the study "the type of exercise that you do in a graduate data-analysis class" rather than as an academic paper. "If I were to get this article as (an academic) reviewer, I would turn it around and say they were fishing to find a result," Stewart said. "I know of no theory or no prior set of intuitions that would have led me to run the analysis they ran." Via: Wired News |
