Foot Washing Baths Coming to NYU [Carol Iannone
A couple of weeks ago, the New York Post reported that the foot washing basins are coming to New York University.The Muslims also have to wash their arms, ears, nostrils, faces, necks, and heads, so they may still need the sinks.
Here is a description of the washing before prayer from an Islamic website. (I've lost the link but there are numerous websites giving these instructions.) This is done five times a day every day:
— Before Wudu you make your intention. Then start with washing the hands as far as the wrists. You perform this 3 times.
— Rinse out the mouth with water using the right hand. You perform this 3 times.
— Wash the nostrils by sniffing up water and blowing it out. You perform this 3 times.
— Wash the face 3 times .
— Wash each arm up to the elbow. You perform this 3 times.
— Wipe or rub the head with the inside of the fingers. You perform this once.
— Clean the inside of the ears with the index fingers and the back of the ears with the thumbs. You perform this once.
— Wipe the back of the neck. You perform this once.
— Wash the feet up to the ankles. You perform this 3 timesThe website also says that there are special rules for situations where water is not readily available, but the example offered is the desert.
CAIR has published guides for employers, schools, prisons, hospitals, etc., on the special needs of Muslims that they say must be accommodated in these places. These pamphlets appear to be the source for a lot of what we're hearing of Muslim demands. For example, they insist that no Muslim should be expected to serve or sell alcohol. They do not say that Muslims should avoid taking jobs where alcohol is part of the work. On the washing business, they recommend using the sinks in restrooms for the ritual washing. In hospitals and nursing homes, aides should help Muslims who cannot perform the ritual washing by themselves. Students in public schools should be allowed to perform the ablutions and the prayers. In schools or the workplace, Muslims performing the prayers cannot be approached for any reason but an emergency and no one may walk in front of them. In public schools, they want qualified Islamic experts to be brought into the classrooms to explain Islam, and they call it an error to say that Allah is the Muslim God. He must be seen as the same God as of Judaism and Christianity, even though Islam calls Abraham a Muslim and says he nearly sacrificed Ishmael not Isaac, and the Muslim "Jesus" cannot be called the Son of God, did not die on the cross, and was not resurrected, all of which completely negates the entire Christian faith. One wonders how this can be going on in public schools when the Supreme Court has ruled that even voluntary prayer is disallowed, when we have people mounting lawsuits to take "under God" out of the pledge and going into paroxysms of protest at the merest hint of God or Christianity in the public sphere. So much fear is focused on Muslims being violent that this kind of thing is being overlooked. People are grateful that they're just washing their feet instead of becoming suicide bombers. But it is proof that Muslims are not assimilating, that they expect America to accommodate them, and not vice versa, and that it is not just jihad but everyday ordinary Muslim practices that will present problems to America. One recalls how the supporters of mass immigration always insist that new immigrants are assimilating just as immigrants did in the past, and how they call people racists, nativists, and xeonophobes for the mildest demurral. But it is obvious from reading the guides that Muslims are counting on their growing numbers to make more and more demands on society while the rest of us sputter in protest or sheepishly go along. They are not even willing to modify or adapt an intrusive practice that is inconsiderate and discourteous to the majority of people with whom they work and study who must use the resrooms for ordinary purposes. As for the idea of installing special foot basins, it is obviously an unwarranted public accommodation of religion, but because the Muslims' washing their feet in the sinks is so repellant (leading to "wet floors, dirty conditions," and "uncomfortable moments"), and because political correctness and the principle of non-discrimination has gone so far, and because of the practiced nonchalance of today in which everything is supposed to be accepted, no one protests. Not even those who would grow hot with rage at any public display of Christianity.
The CAIR guides also make plentiful use of the concept of "diversity." And Islamic spokesmen have learned to use the language of rights, pluralism, inclusiveness, in their debased multiculturalist meanings, to further their encroachments, such as demanding halal foods in public school lunchrooms. A spokesman on televison seemed to think that this is what America owes Muslims, that this is the promise of inclusiveness, tolerance, pluralism, etc., that there should be this much accommodation of Muslim demands. And of course no one is telling him otherwise. No one is telling him that if they want this level of religious observance, America allows them to create their own religious schools with their own money, not to renovate the public scools to fit their customs. Likewise, when it comes to serving or selling alcohol, no one is telling them that American freedom and prosperity means that Muslims do not have to take jobs that require dealing with alcohol. But it's not just the Left to blame for this state of affairs. The Right with its claims of America as a "universal nation" is also to blame. Theodore Dalrymple writes about how Scotland and Italy are succumbing to sharia laws. Dalrymple lives in Europe so he doesn't see that it is also happening here, despite all the happy talk about Muslims in America assimilating better than in Europe. I believe that Muslims would adapt if they met any resistance, but they see all this diffidence and fatuous servility toward them and so their only thought is to proceed with their sense of entitlement and make more demands. (A Muslim student at NYU did feel uncomfortable, which could be the basis for some kind of change in behavior: "Having other students 'just walking in and seeing us have our feet in the sink - it's awkward,' she added.") The president has unfortunately led the way in this, albeit out of good intentions. He has gone so far into the "universalism" that he has come to believe that America stands for nothing but openness and inclusiveness, has no culture whatsoever, and exists only to accommodate every group that deigns to gift us with their presence in full multicultural fashion. Thus his annual White House iftar dinner celebrating Ramadan. According to one article: "President and Mrs. Bush host an iftar dinner every year because they want people around the world to know how much they respect Islam and the many Muslims living in the U.S. who are free to worship as they want, and are an integral part of our society," said Gordon Johndroe, spokesman for the White House National Security Council. Actually it sends the opposite message. Not that they are part of us, but that they are separate and require separate homage to their religion at the White House. Also, the dinner is meant to prove that Bush is not an enemy of Islam, but those who believe that are not going to be put off by the annual dinner. The dinner just encourages them to expect more servility and to look for other ways in which Muslims are not being specifically served or accommodated. It is not really called for that an American president host White House dinners in honor of Islam in order to show Muslims that he respects them. The American Constitution respects them and he is supposed to uphold the Constitution. Actually, believe it or not, time was when we would expect the groups to show that they respect America, not that our president would have to make a display of showing his respect toward them. And of course the WH makes no mention of the fact that Muslims' being "free to worship as they want" is presenting a burden to others and is producing behavior that is entirely out of keeping with American standards of public comportment. Furthermore, the president has accepted the Muslim view of God. Cal Thomas expresses dismay that Bush has professed on Al Arabiya television that the Muslim God is the same as the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and Jesus that we know from the Bible. Bush does this explicitly in the name of "universality," indicating that becoming universal means eventually losing what is most dear.

'Gun-free' school zones?
Larry ElderOctober 20, 2007
This time, it was Cleveland. A 14-year-old suspended high school student entered Cleveland's Success Tech Academy, a gun in each hand, and opened fire, wounding four. Later, we learn the shooter's past included violent confrontations, mental problems and at least one previous suspension. A month earlier, he told a friend he intended to shoot up the school. But no one apparently took his behavior seriously enough to notify authorities.
Meanwhile, a high school teacher in Oregon, with a permit to carry a concealed weapon plus training, sought permission to carry her firearm to school. In fear of her former husband, against whom she filed and received two restraining orders, she wanted the ability to protect herself if he showed up. Furthermore, she argued that even without the fear of her ex-husband, the Second Amendment and Oregon state law allow her to carry her firearm to work. Her school district, however, prevents her from carrying a firearm to school.
This raises a question. Do shooters consider schools "gun-free zones"? Do they consider it unlikely that any authority figure — whether teachers or, in some cases, security guards — poses an armed threat? But in some school shooting cases, guns helped to end shooting sprees and minimize loss of life and injury.
In Edinboro, Pa., a 14-year-old middle-school student opened fire at a school graduation dance held at a local restaurant. The shooter killed one teacher and wounded two students and another teacher. The armed teenager was apprehended by the restaurant owner, who grabbed his own shotgun from his office. Staring into the shotgun, the teen dropped his gun and surrendered.
In Pearl, Miss., a 16-year-old sophomore entered Pearl High with a hunting rifle under his overcoat. He opened fire, killing two students and wounding seven. Assistant Principal Joel Myrick, ran to his truck and retrieved the .45 automatic he kept there. Running back, he spotted the shooter in the parking lot. Ordering the teen to stop, the vice principal put his gun to the shooter's neck and held him until police arrived.
At Appalachian Law School, in Grundy, Va., a disgruntled student on the verge of his second suspension entered a school building and shot and killed the dean and a professor. He then shot four students, killing one. Hearing the shots, two students, Michael Gross and Tracy Bridges, ran to their cars to retrieve their guns. With guns aimed at the shooter, Mr. Bridges ordered him to drop his weapon. When the shooter turned and saw Mr. Bridges' gun, he laid down his weapon and put his hands in the air. (My pro-Second Amendment documentary, "Michael and Me," goes into detail about this incident, as well as others.)
Professor and economist John Lott checked 280 separate news stories in the week after the Appalachian Law School shooting, and only found four that mentioned the students who stopped the shooter had guns. The Washington Post, for example, said the students "helped subdue" the killer. Newsday wrote the shooter was "restrained by students." The Richmond (Va.) Times-Dispatch, however, wrote that the shooter "was wrestled to the ground by fellow students, one of whom aimed his own revolver at [the killer]." Four months later, the Times-Dispatch detailed the students' actions, including the second student's use of a gun.
What do felons think about an armed citizenry? A survey of convicted felons by the National Institute of Justice found 74 percent of the felons agreed that, "One reason burglars avoid houses when people are home is that they fear being shot during the crime." The survey also asked these felons whether they had abandoned at least one crime because they feared the intended victim might be armed. Thirty-nine percent said they abandoned at least one crime; 8 percent had abandoned such a crime "many" times; 34 percent admitted being "scared off, shot at, wounded, or captured by an armed victim"; and nearly 70 percent knew a "colleague" who had abandoned a crime or been scared off, shot at, wounded or captured by a victim packing heat.
A survey of 23,113 police chiefs and sheriffs across the country found 62 percent of agreed that "a national concealed handgun permit would reduce rates of violent crime." About 80 percent of rank-and-file police officers, according to polls, support the right of trained citizens to carry concealed weapons.
Israel gets it. Since the 1970s, on school campuses in Israel, policy requires teachers and parent aides to arm themselves with semi-automatic weapons. The result? School shootings have plummeted to zero.
As for Cleveland, would allowing authority figures to arm themselves have reduced casualties, or perhaps even deterred the shooter in the first place? No one can say for sure. But no doubt at least some Cleveland parents now believe the benefits of armed campus adults outweigh the costs.

carry a gun
Thought I'd post some of what I've learned about always being armed.
It sucks having to be armed all the time, no chance to relax.
HINT, you have to dress around the gun. Deal with it. Most folks have to make some minor wardrobe changes, others have a bigger problem.
Inside the waist band holsters conceal better but require a 1 inch bigger waisted pants. Are you willing to buy all new pants. I did.
Both skinny and fat people have challenges, medium has some advantages.
Wear the gun, you will get used to it and no one has xray vision that can spot it. You, by your actions will give it away. So be cool. Don't always be checking/touching it, etc.....
Be willing to use it, Perps will evaluate if you will shoot. Will you??
Women bitch about concealment, but they have potentially the easiest time. They just want to wear things not conducive to concealed carry. Life is about choices.
Practice.
Shoot IDPA.

Children and retirement
The Euro's now have a state sponsored retirement program, there by eliminating the need for Euro's to have children.
This is blatantly false, most social retirement programs are almost 'pay as you go' therefore needing taxpayers to fund the seniors retirements. Well who are taxpayers?? yup, the seniors own children. The replacing European children's numbers with 3rd world(mostly islamic) immigrants does not seem to be working out so well. The immigrants tend to take out more $ in social benefits than the taxes they are paying.

Guns in schools in Norway
Worth a post
Being the gun guy I am. no school shootings fo far gee, I wonder why?
http://www.aftenposten.no/english/local/article1948234.ece
Armed for first day of schoolHundreds of thousands of students had their first day of school on Monday. Some of them had to learn to carry guns and be prepared to shoot -- polar bears.
Helga Therese Tilley Tajet (from left) Eliza Harris and Helene Birkelund Erlandsen started their school year with a course on weapon use and survival in the Arctic.

Reindeer can also be encountered on Svalbard, like here at the Norwegian Polar Institute's research station in Ny-Ålesund, which got a dusting of new snow over the weekend.
Students on the Arctic archipelago of Svalbard aren't allowed to leave their village without a shotgun and ammunition. That's because hungry polar bears can be behind every swing on the island.
Although no one wants to shoot a polar bear, and they're indeed protected by national law, the huge white animals can quickly outrun a human. And humans don't have a chance if confronted by an aggressive bear.
So everyone on Svalbard needs to be able to defend him- or herself, and students undergo weapons training every year.
"We feel more secure and look forward to learn a lot more," said Helga Therese Tilley Tajet of Moelv. She's studying meteorology at the University of Oslo and will concentrate on the Arctic marine climate for the next six months at the university on Svalbard, UNIS.
The students are also trained in Arctic survival techniques in addition to how to use a weapon. "It's absolutely necessary," said UNIS director Gunnar Sand. Much of the course work involved is carried out in the field, and the students also go trekking in their free time.
The school lends out weapons, ammunition, tents, sleeping bags, survival suits, snow scooters and other equipment that's essential in the Arctic landscape.
"Polar bears are one thing," Sand noted. "Even more dangerous is the extreme cold, and the winds. There also are dangerous glaciers, steep cliffs, and it's a long way between settlements."

They try to get away with it because they know they can!
Muslim checkout staff get an alcohol opt-out clause [Tom Gross]
From The Sunday Times (of London):
MUSLIM supermarket checkout staff [in Britain] who refuse to sell alcohol are being allowed to opt out of handling customers’ bottles and cans of drink.
Islamic workers at Sainsbury’s [one of the UK’s biggest supermarket chains] who object to alcohol on religious grounds are told to raise their hands when encountering any drink at their till so that a colleague can temporarily take their place or scan items for them.
Other staff have refused to work stacking shelves with wine, beer and spirits and have been found alternative roles in the company.
As a Times reader wrote: “Are vegetarian staff at Sainsbury permitted to refuse to sell meat? Are teetotalers also allowed to refuse to sell alcohol?”

Boy 'who was attacked' by Slovakian woman may face racism chargeBy NEIL SEARS - More by this author » Last updated at 22:24pm on 26th September 2007
Jake Stedman: Claims he was beaten by immigrant with a pipe
A boy of ten who claims to have been attacked by a Slovakian woman with an iron bar could be charged with inciting racial hatred, it emerged last night.
Jake Stedman admitted that the woman hit him after he threw a berry at her and told her to 'go back to her own country'.
As a result, the boy - who was left with two black eyes - could become the youngest person in the country ever to be charged with the offence.
A police source said: "There have been allegations that he used racist language and it is necessary for us to investigate the claims."
The Slovakian woman involved, 35, was arrested and could face assault charges.
Jake, a white English pupil, attends Luton Junior School in Chatham, Kent. The school is so riven by racial tension after an influx of Slovakian and other eastern-European children that four police patrol the gates every day.
On Saturday, one week after the alleged assault, two teenage girls were arrested for throwing stones at and abusing a Slovakian man just yards from the school.
Locals believe it may have been a revenge attack.
Police said there had been 13 race-related incidents in the area in six months.
One resident, English mother Candice Smith, 30, claimed her son William had twice been chased and threatened by Slovakian children and their parents.
But Slovakian father David Feri, 24, said English parents were teaching their children racism.
Jake Stedman was found in a pool of blood after insulting the woman in her 20s, who is believed to have a child at the same primary school.
He says she chased him down an alleyway before repeatedly striking him on the head and back with the 2ft pipe as he cowered on the floor, leaving him with two black eyes.
His mother, Amanda Stedman, 29, from Chatham, Kent, said: "I came running out the house and saw him lying in a pool of blood crying.
"He was completely in shock - he's just a little boy.
"I know he can misbehave and he's easily led but for this to happen is outrageous."
Police were standing guard at Luton Junior School in Chatham at leaving time last night in an attempt to prevent racial tensions in the area rising further.
Parents angrily confronted four officers outside the school gates over the incident, which took place a week last Saturday.
A number said an increasing number of Slovak families in the area had led to friction with British parents.
About a third of around 400 pupils at the school are believed to be Slovakian-born.
British children had complained of being bullied by the Slovakian pupils, who they said had told them: "We only play with our own kind."
One parent at the school, who did not wish to be named, said: "When the parents come and collect their children, the Slovakians stand on one side of the playground and we stand on the other.
"It is a bit like a stand-off."
'Outrageous': Amanda Stedman expresses shock to police
Another, mother- of-three Carla Spanton, said parents are already pulling their children out of the school following a large intake of Slovakian pupils over the summer.
"There's been trouble ever since," she said. "Our kids are being threatened with having their throats slit.
"It's happening every day but no one is taking any notice.
"This used to be a good school but it's not any more." Father-of-one Shane Treeby added: "The trouble is going to spill over and it's going to happen soon.
"There's been a load of attacks recently in and around the school with gangs of Slovakians going round beating up the local kids.
"That boy getting hit was just one example, but there's stabbings and all sorts round here which is not getting reported." Police last night confirmed they had made an arrest in connection with the alleged pipe attack.
Chief Inspector Peter Wedlake, of Medway Police, said officers would remain on duty outside the school.
He added: "We won't tolerate racially-motivated offences, whoever they are committed by."
A statement issued by Medway Council on behalf of the school said: "Community cohesion is a shared responsibility for us all.
"Medway schools are typically happy and calm places where children from different backgrounds learn together and get on well.
"We work closely with the police, community support officers and the wider community to play our part in providing good race relations among pupils, parents and the wider community."
The incident comes after last week's admission by police that the influx of immigrants to Britain is placing a huge strain on resources.
Leading the warnings was Cambridgeshire's chief constable Julie Spence.
She said the surge in arrivals from Eastern Europe has meant an increasing bill for translation services for victims, witnesses and criminals who often speak little or no English.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davis backed the calls for tighter immigration procedures, saying
Labour's 'opendoor approach' is to blame for the problems.

Jake Stedman admitted that the woman hit him after he threw a berry at her and told her to 'go back to her own country'.
As a result, the boy - who was left with two black eyes - could become the youngest person in the country ever to be charged with the offence.
A police source said: "There have been allegations that he used racist language and it is necessary for us to investigate the claims."
The Slovakian woman involved, 35, was arrested and could face assault charges.
Jake, a white English pupil, attends Luton Junior School in Chatham, Kent. The school is so riven by racial tension after an influx of Slovakian and other eastern-European children that four police patrol the gates every day.
On Saturday, one week after the alleged assault, two teenage girls were arrested for throwing stones at and abusing a Slovakian man just yards from the school.
Locals believe it may have been a revenge attack.
Police said there had been 13 race-related incidents in the area in six months.
One resident, English mother Candice Smith, 30, claimed her son William had twice been chased and threatened by Slovakian children and their parents.
But Slovakian father David Feri, 24, said English parents were teaching their children racism.
Jake Stedman was found in a pool of blood after insulting the woman in her 20s, who is believed to have a child at the same primary school.
He says she chased him down an alleyway before repeatedly striking him on the head and back with the 2ft pipe as he cowered on the floor, leaving him with two black eyes.
His mother, Amanda Stedman, 29, from Chatham, Kent, said: "I came running out the house and saw him lying in a pool of blood crying.
"He was completely in shock - he's just a little boy.
"I know he can misbehave and he's easily led but for this to happen is outrageous."
Police were standing guard at Luton Junior School in Chatham at leaving time last night in an attempt to prevent racial tensions in the area rising further.
Parents angrily confronted four officers outside the school gates over the incident, which took place a week last Saturday.
A number said an increasing number of Slovak families in the area had led to friction with British parents.
About a third of around 400 pupils at the school are believed to be Slovakian-born.
British children had complained of being bullied by the Slovakian pupils, who they said had told them: "We only play with our own kind."
One parent at the school, who did not wish to be named, said: "When the parents come and collect their children, the Slovakians stand on one side of the playground and we stand on the other.
"It is a bit like a stand-off."
'Outrageous': Amanda Stedman expresses shock to police
Another, mother- of-three Carla Spanton, said parents are already pulling their children out of the school following a large intake of Slovakian pupils over the summer.
"There's been trouble ever since," she said. "Our kids are being threatened with having their throats slit.
"It's happening every day but no one is taking any notice.
"This used to be a good school but it's not any more." Father-of-one Shane Treeby added: "The trouble is going to spill over and it's going to happen soon.
"There's been a load of attacks recently in and around the school with gangs of Slovakians going round beating up the local kids.
"That boy getting hit was just one example, but there's stabbings and all sorts round here which is not getting reported." Police last night confirmed they had made an arrest in connection with the alleged pipe attack.
Chief Inspector Peter Wedlake, of Medway Police, said officers would remain on duty outside the school.
He added: "We won't tolerate racially-motivated offences, whoever they are committed by."
A statement issued by Medway Council on behalf of the school said: "Community cohesion is a shared responsibility for us all.
"Medway schools are typically happy and calm places where children from different backgrounds learn together and get on well.
"We work closely with the police, community support officers and the wider community to play our part in providing good race relations among pupils, parents and the wider community."
The incident comes after last week's admission by police that the influx of immigrants to Britain is placing a huge strain on resources.
Leading the warnings was Cambridgeshire's chief constable Julie Spence.
She said the surge in arrivals from Eastern Europe has meant an increasing bill for translation services for victims, witnesses and criminals who often speak little or no English.
Shadow Home Secretary David Davis backed the calls for tighter immigration procedures, saying
Labour's 'opendoor approach' is to blame for the problems.
