POPSAfghanistan: 'No Democracy~Just Islam' and Burn Obama Effigy Afghan university students shout anti-US slogans and hold a banner reading 'No Democracy; We want just Islam!' during a demonstration in Kabul on October 25, 2009. ISLAMIZATION WATCH More than 100,000 foreign troops are battling a resurgent Taliban in Afghanistan, where violence this year reached its highest level since the austere Islamists were ousted by U.S.-backed Afghan forces in 2001. Thick plumes of smoke rose above the crowd as protesters set fire to a large effigy of what they said was U.S. President Barack Obama. "Death to America. Down with Israel," chanted one man at the rally, which was organized mainly by university students. Others threw stones and clashed with police but no casualties were reported. "No to democracy. We just want Islam," said one banner carried by protesters, many of whom shook their fists in the air. Captain Elizabeth Mathias, a media officer for U.S. and NATO-led forces in Afghanistan,

POPSAnother Landlord Worry: Is the Elevator Kosher? The rabbis wrote that this new technology, which was explained to them by elevator technicians and engineers in “a written and oral technical opinion,” made them aware for the first time that using Shabbos elevators may be a “desecration of the Sabbath.” At the very least, said a man in a long black coat, pushing a stroller on New Utrecht Avenue in Brooklyn, with three other small children in tow, “it’s not another water situation.” He referred to the commotion in 2004 when some Orthodox rabbis in Brooklyn ordered people not to drink New York City tap water after learning it contained tiny harmless organisms called copepods, which are crustaceans, not considered kosher. Yeshivas, kosher restaurants and thousands of people bought water filters.

POPSIf Islam is a religion of peace, then sticks of dynamite are only candles On July 30, eight people were burned alive in the village of Gojra, also in Punjab, after a purported incident of desecration of the Koran in the nearby village of Korian Wala. Churches were attacked and copies of the Bible and hymn books were burned in both villages. In Korian Wala alone, more than 50 houses of Christians were ransacked. On Sept. 11, a church in a village in Punjab's Sialkot district was burned after claims that a 20-year-old Christian youth had desecrated the Koran. On Sept. 15, a day after his arrest, Robert Masih was found dead in his jail cell. Police reported it as a suicide, but Mr. Masih's family claims he was killed. Joseph Francis, who runs an organization providing legal assistance to Christians, said he saw marks of torture on Mr. Masih's body.

POPS9-11: The Desecration So our State Dept. is being told to make the Day about Islam/Muslims. "...at the same time, Obama would be seeking to prosecute CIA agents for keeping this country safe after the most heinous attack on American soil in the history of the United States. He will begin criminal proceedings to jail great patriotic Americans who worked to stop the next wave of 9-11 attacks on the world's greatest nation." No wonder half of America does not trust this man or the Congress that supports him.

POPSU.N. to Emerge as Global IRS Long very informative article at source. These new Taxes will not replace any taxes but will be added to them. Put very simply they mean to tax you into absolute poverty, nevermind the absolute desecration of sovereignty and freedom, but then its hard to resist when all you can worry about is where you next meal is coming from. Which is entirely the point.

POPSRespect For The Flag It's all spelled out in Title 4, United States Code, Chapter 1 (see http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode04/usc_sup_01_4_10_1.html).. (By the way, that's former President Bush desecrating a flag in that photo). This morning, in the neighborhood park where there was a fireworks display last night, dozens of rumpled flags were everywhere - on the ground, in trash cans, along with flag-imprinted paper plates, napkins and other such stuff. Take a look at one photographer's view of how the flag is respected at http://www.sethbutler.com/tattered/. Fortunately for the armchair patriots and chickenhawk generals, there are no criminal penalties associated with Title 4 USC1. If congress were to enact some stiff fines for violations, the federal defecit would disappear overnight. The full statute, also known as the Flag Code, can be found at http://www4.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode04/usc_sup_01_4_10_1.html.

POPSStopping the Desecration of Mountaintop Removal Of course, that's not the question. There are many ways to mine coal besides blowing up the environment. The question is whether Obama will turn his back on the mountains, the people and his own integrity. The industry rationalizes its greed in the name of creating jobs for this hard-hit region - but mountaintop removal relies on dynamite and huge machines, not workers. In fact, thousands of mining jobs have been lost as corporations switched to this method. In all of Appalachia, there are only 19,000 jobs connected to every form of surface mining - and the tiniest fraction of those are in mountaintop removal. A much brighter job future is to develop Appalachia's boundless green-energy potential - a blue-green initiative that's supposed to be one of Obama's top priorities.

POPSShariah's Brotherhood by Frank Gaffney, Jr. The Alliance is a UN-sponsored affair that reflects – as, increasingly do most things the United Nations is involved in – the views of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). The OIC is made up of 57 Muslim-majority nations. Thanks to support from Saudi Arabia and its proxies, the Muslim Brotherhood has become a driving force within the Conference and their agendas largely coincide. Mecca declared: "The Conference underlined the need to collectively endeavor to reflect the noble Islamic values, counter Islamophobia, defamation of Islam and its values and desecration of Islamic holy sites, and to effectively coordinate with States as well as regional and international institutions and organizations to urge them to criminalize this phenomenon as a form of racism." Ominously, as part of its bid to "criminalize" Islamophobia, the OIC is seeking "deterrent punishments."

POPSDesecration Science did not prevent me from doing any of this and the microscope and every other tool is just a construct of our immaterial intellects. So free yourself from scientism The scientific method is itself a being of reason and not provable by the scientific method. The empiro-metric method while quite useful for studying the intelligibility of the world comes short when it come to ontology. Ontological question are aided by these branches of science but the empiro-metric view can't be used to prove ontological questions. The three layers of abstraction Metaphysical, Mathematica, and Physica are not at odds to each other and we need to return to the view that theology is the queen of the sciences, though this does not change the importance of the other sciences. Faith vs. science is a silly debate when there is not a "versus" only an "and." By the way I do highly recommend The Science Before Science: A Guide to Thinking in the 21st Century

POPSIsrael: Shooting Down Demonstrators for Sport To think people have the gall to say Israel is a democracy??? Even if that were true, the conduct of this false democracy is a desecration of the word. They have one-upped the Nazis in the sheer joy of cruelty and injustice.

POPSFlag Pin Festish The flag fetish strikes me as a case of Protesting Too Much. If you’re confident in your possession of something, you don’t have to wear it on your sleeve, your gable, your bumper, or your T-shirt. In fact, the latter used to be considered disrespectful, a kind of desecration. Americans live surrounded by other Americans; there’s no need for a show of defiance. We’re not like the English and the French, who fought one another for centuries, still have cultural misunderstandings, and can see each other’s countries on a clear day. So why this bravado, even insecurity, which I think must lie beneath gratuitious, context-free displays of patriotic devotion

POPSHill of Tara- illegal motorway going ahead
What spurred me to do this is that | just heard a report on the radio about a young woman called squeek (nickname we all have one)is in an underground tunnel , made as a protest to stop the undergoing of work on the m3 motorway to dublin- the capital city of Ireland which has seen massive growth with immigrant workers and the economic boom (celtic tiger) There are many people making massive journeys to and from work in dublin which is probably the main reason for the development there is a green party minister of the environment who promised to stop the before election who hasn't The european parliment seem to have deemed it illegal but to no avail The protestors obviously seem passionate about this major part of the countries heritage but I don't believe protesting is the only way I think persuasion of the public informing the public of the importance of the hill of tara possibly through literature and/or t.v making a programme focused on the issue would definitely attract

POPSDestruction and Desecration of Christian Holy Places Very sad and appalling. For centruries before those sites were protected by Muslims with great reverence. There are signs for those who have eyes to see. Actions speak louder than words. Always. Love is a verb, well so too is hate. The Holy Land was a place of peace prior to 1948. Christians, Muslims and Jews lived in peace for centuries before 1948. Is that not a sign?

POPSPolnischer nationalistisch-katholischer Antisemitismus: Radio Maryja bleibt auf Sendung The popular Catholic nationalist radio station Radio Maryja is still the most influential source of anti-Semitic propaganda in Poland. Outright Holocaust denial, which appeared for the first time in a book by the historian Dariusz Ratajczyk, was also propagated by the well-known historian Ryszard Bender. Vandalism and desecration of Jewish sites continued in 1999. Stephen Roth Institute: Antisemitism And Racism July 16, 2007 More than 600 Catholic intellectuals, journalists, priests and Catholic activists have signed a public letter of protest condemning antisemitic extremist Father Tadeusz Rydzyk.

POPSNo "Increase in Anti-Semitic Violence in Britain" US Dept of State Who did you trust U.S. Department of State or Foxcrap? These OFFICIAL figures are fractions of the attacks on Muslims in the UK. The misnomer anti-Semitism figures were 18 persons charged and 8 convicted!!! Get a grip. There is no comparison in the public perception of Jews as against Arabs, the true Semites, in Britain!!! In whose interest is it to talk up virtually none existent figures to give the mainly tolerant Brits a bad reputation??? Not England's! Not Arabs! Who??? Pseudo victims?

POPS Is George Bush an agent of a Foreign Power? Seeing as the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi, Bin Ladin is Saudi, Al-Queda is Saudi funded - and Bush wants to attack their mortal cultural and religious enemy, Iran? People have gone to the gallows on thinner evidence. The Rosenburgs, the "Haymarket Martyrs" - and just a whole lot of Texans while Bush was Governor.
