Since it's the "fastest growing religion" I say we (in the governatorial sense) tax 'em all!

Something wrong with taxing based on religon you say? Hey, they are allowed to practice their religion, no stopping them there. They are free to gather, listen to their holy rollers speak. It's just, you know, they are different and that makes them open to taxation. Why didn't somebody think of this sooner?

I suppose The Left will be frothing at the mouth any moment now. Especially if Israel cashes in on this 'slim tax too. The UN will call emergency sessions and pronouncements and denouncements will be made left and right and Human rights organizations will go into convulsions and hey, if the 'slim tax makes it to the States the ACLU will be busy for decades.

Except it isn't the Christians or Jews taxing the muslims because they are muslim. It's the muslims wanting to tax the Christians because they are Christian. Remember kids, jizya is a cultural tradition. By way of LGF - on History News Network - Bethlehem Christians to Pay Special Tax

The general plan of Hamas also includes the imposition of a special tax, called al-jeziya, upon all of the non-Muslim residents in the Palestinian territories. This tax revives the one applied through all of Islamic history to the dhimmi, the second-class Jewish and Christian citizens.

I suppose the world's outrage is all reserved for Bush and Israel. As you know Israel is working on the fence. The one that is supposed to keep the splodeys out of their markets and shopping malls. Did you know India is building one too? They get a special approval happy face and gold star from the UN et. al because?? From The Times Online - India builds a 2,500-mile barrier to rival the Great Wall of China

Next month India plans to fence off this area of West Bengal as part of a little-known £600 million project to erect a steel barrier right along its 2,500-mile border with its much smaller Muslim neighbour.

Apparently they get to protect themselves from splodey infiltration. Even with the best of protection, lives are still lost, for what? From the Jerusalem Post - Officer killed, three soldiers wounded in W. Bank bombing

Lt. Uri Binamo, 21, from Nesher was killed and around 10 people were wounded, including three IDF soldiers, in a suicide bombing in the West Bank on Thursday morning.

A suicide bomber detonated himself at a surprise IDF roadblock south of Tulkarm, near Shavei Shomron. The bomber was driven in a taxi to the area, and when he exited the vehicle, soldiers asked him to open his coat. He refused, and set off his explosives. The Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack.

Rest in Peace, Uri Binamo. Others try to protect themselves from the you know whos on a much more intimate level. Fjordman has a recap of events here - Immigrant Rape Wave in Sweden

Some Muslim immigrants admit their bias quite openly. An Islamic Mufti in Copenhagen sparked a political outcry after publicly declaring that women who refuse to wear headscarves are "asking for rape." Apparently, he's not the only one thinking this way. “It is not as wrong raping a Swedish girl as raping an Arab girl,” says Hamid. “The Swedish girl gets a lot of help afterwards, and she had probably fucked before, anyway. But the Arab girl will get problems with her family. For her, being raped is a source of shame. It is important that she retains her virginity until she marries.”

Yes, some Swedish girls designed a belt (not one that explodes), but in theory one that would buy the woman being attacked some time - Swedish girls design anti-rape belt, photo of it here. Takes two hands to open it. But that means one would have to wear pants (duh). Further protection has been developed. Incredibly wicked and an absofuckinshame that there is a need anywhere in the world for this, also developed in Sweden - FemDefence.

And why is there no news to be found about the war between Chad and Sudan?? Raise your hand if you think the Sudanese agressors are the very same people who commited the "not genocide" genocide there? Problem is stemming right outta Darfur.

I'm still wondering when we will get to see the peace part.
