Via little green footballs, this article by Caroline Glick states, quote:
Both Iran and its Hamas proxy in Gaza have been busy this Christmas week showing Christendom just what they think of it. But no one seems to have noticed.
On Tuesday, Hamas legislators marked the Christmas season by passing a Shari'a criminal code for the Palestinian Authority. Among other things, it legalizes crucifixion.
Hamas's endorsement of nailing enemies of Islam to crosses came at the same time it renewed its jihad. Here, too, Hamas wanted to make sure that Christians didn't feel neglected as its fighters launched missiles at Jewish day care centers and schools. So on Wednesday, Hamas lobbed a mortar shell at the Erez crossing point into Israel just as a group of Gazan Christians were standing on line waiting to travel to Bethlehem for Christmas.
While Hamas joyously renewed its jihad against Jews and Christians, its overlords in Iran also basked in jihadist triumphalism. The source of Teheran's sense of ascendancy this week was Britain's Channel 4 network's decision to request that Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad give a special Christmas Day address to the British people. Ahmadinejad's speech was supposed to be a response to Queen Elizabeth II's traditional Christmas Day address to her subjects. That is, Channel 4 presented his message as a reasonable counterpoint to the Christmas greetings of the head of the Church of England.
Channel 4 justified its move by proclaiming that it was providing a public service. As a spokesman told The Jerusalem Post, "We're offering [Ahmadinejad] the chance to speak for himself, which people in the West don't often get the chance to see."
it legalizes crucifixion.
In the U.K. we have had marches by Muslims complaining against Israel’s actions, apparently they should just lay down when missiles are launched at them. I have heard before, when questioned about their lack of marches against Islamic terror, that the Muslims are not a group given to having marches and complaining, this is clearly a lie and they have overtaken almost all of Europe to be comfortable enough to do this. Countries like the U.K. have lost the sense of identity to know what it stands for so that poisonous intransigent ghetto communities can take us over, this is the most pertinent problem to the day and it will only get worse.
“May you live in interesting times” seems to be more of a curse at the moment.
Also, turn to the “big picture” blog for great images, they have a section on the recent attacks.
