Thoughts On Orlando

There are almost no words to describe and or explain the terror that must have taken place this past Sunday morning at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
One thing is for certain and that this was an act of Islamofacsist terror, period. Omar Mateen called 911 during the carnage to pledge his allegiance to the Islamic State and cited leaders of the bloodthirsty group that controls part of Iraq and Syria. And the investigation is taking some real twists and turns including a report that Mr. Mateen made to trips to Saudi Arabia and that he tried to purchase body armor.
What is truly fascinating about this is the reaction and what should be the focus moving forward.
Shamefully it is falling along the political lines that have divided the United States for a long time now.
On the left, led by the Dear Leader, President Obama, there is a lack of willingness to call this act what it is. An act of Islamofacsist terror. There is no willingness to utter the words radical Islam. There is a push for gun control as there always is after a mass shooting. There is a lot of standing united with Orlando. There is the Pray for Orlando. And because the Pulse nightclub was a gay club there is the attempt to link it just to homophobia and or a hate crime.
On the right, the recognition that this is an act of Islamofacsist terror. That it will take a serious effort to fight against not just the Islamic State but those who act in the name of the Islamic State and or any other group that seeks to instill radical Islam in the West and the rest of the world. That while prayers are necessary it will take more than that to fight such a long-term war.
And let me make clear that there is a difference to have an opinion on the role of gays and lesbians in society in a  nation like ours. But it is more political than organized carnage that this act of terror was. The fact is that these are fellow Americans that died at the hands of the evil Mateen and I sure as hell don't care that they were mostly gay and or lesbian. They are Americans, period. To radical Islamic forces, this is an acceptable way to deal with those that are gay and or lesbian. Just note that in the Islamic State held lands, it is perfectly acceptable for the so-called authorities to throw suspected homosexuals off the top of the tallest building in any given town. And if there is not a tall enough building, stoning those people is perfectly acceptable. Before one uses an obscure Christian pastor who thinks this is a good thing, note that is in the minority and so far they have not carried out acts such as these.
The problem is that we need to put aside the politics and recognize that we are fighting a real enemy. An enemy that hates modernity (except for guns and pick-up trucks). They hate gays and lesbians. They hate Jews. They hate Americans. They hate anything that is non-Islamic. And they even hate those that they perceive to be not pure enough Islamic/Muslim. They carry out their hate in acts such as what took place in Orlando. In San Bernardino. In Paris, France. In London, England. Any and everywhere they see an enemy.
I will be the first to admit that there are people that agree on the basic need to take on these terror merchants but disagree on how to do so. But there are those that want to bury their heads in the sand and suggest that any true discussion on radical Islam is really just Islamophobia. It is sort of like when former President Jimmah Carter and his statement that we in the West, and particularly the United States, had an inordinate fear of communism.
What I fear is that what will happen is if we do not come to some kind of consensus policy on dealing with radical Islam, the more attacks that happen the stronger the possibility that there will be a bad backlash against good, patriotic Americans that practise Islam. I want to avoid such a backlash. We can do that if we try.
We need to do something good and unifying for those that died and were injured in Orlando. While I an sympathetic to those that are putting the Love Wins all over Facebook, I think it is time to stop trying to score political points and take on radical Islam as the United States of America.

Egypt Fought A Revolution So The Men Can Have Sex With Their Dead Wives?!

I guess so.
According to this article in The Daily Mail, in a slew of Islamic legislation being considered in the Egyptian parliament, one would allow married men to have sex with their wife, or wives depending on how Islamic a man would be, up to six hours after they had died.
Unfrickingbelievable.
But to be fair, women can also do it with their dead husbands as well.
How so modern of them to be considerate of the gals.
The basis for this vile and disgusting proposal is courtesy of an allegedly "learned" imam from Morocco, Zamzami Abdelbari.
According to this article courtesy of The Daily Telegraph, Imam Abdelbari said that necrophilia, which is having sex with the dead, is "halal", which (and I know the Islamists ain't gonna like this comparison) essentially is the Arabic equivalent of kosher. But, halal is broader if you read the Wikipedia link.
Funny though. When I read the Wikipedia link, I don't find the section about schtuping the dead wife.
And what is magical about six hours? Is that when the corpse begins decay? Does the stench of death become kind of noticeable?
Well, again according to the good imam, said male husband, wanting one last bang with the wife can wash the corpse, and then do the deed.
And while Imam Abdelbari says the gals can do the same thing with their dead husband, he can't exactly explain how the gal gets the dead dude excited after the washing.
OK, lets get all the grotesque jokes I know most of you are thinking out of the way here.
Good.
I think that Allahpundit over at HotAir is having some doubts about this story. And it may be a good thing if there is something not right about it.
But I don't look at what radical Islamists want to do. No, I look at what they have done.
No more perfect example is what life was like for all under the repressive Taliban regime in Afghanistan pre 9/11/01.
If one thinks that is just an outlier, look at Saudi Arabia in its current form, dominated by-you guessed it-Salafist fundamentalist Islamics. Only the fastest growing Islamic movement in the world.
One of the first things to go in Islamic lands is women's rights.
If Sandra Fluke thinks the government should pay for her contraception, imagine how her life would be in Fundamentalist Islamicland? Let me just say that contraception would be at the bottom of her concerns.
This rise in fundamentalist Islam is why guys like Imam Abdelbari can issue such fatwas and at first, sounds like a morbid joke.
Then some country that is about to go Islamofascist tries to make said fatwa law of the land. Sharia law of the land.
Say, didn't our Dear Leader, President Obama, in selling out the long-time former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak tell all that this was the beginning of the Arab Spring? That all this was about is throwing out a dictator and bringing about freedom and democracy?
If this is what democracy looks like, Islamofascist style, I am ready to bring Mubarak back. Or his equivalent.
The fact that someone claiming there is any religious basis for having sex with the dead is absolutely wicked. That dude, Imam Abdelberi, has some very serious problems.
Yet a nation, Egypt, could very well consider making it government approved.
If this is what the Egyptian revolution was all about, my friends we are really in some very effed up territory.
