The Council

Oh Snap!

Perhaps the most charming thing about conspiracy is - that whenever a machination is real - no one ever suspects! When it's fakebelieve - everyone does!

Thus, the recent come hither from an eclectic group of web savvy self imposed journalistical cats to become the 'military correspondant' for a collective nom d'guerr'd the 'Council" came out of the blue as a complete surprise.

Always ready for a chance at selfaggrandizement!

The council vote ended in a tie between two excellent posts. But in the end, even though Right Truth‘s – Peeling the layers of Imam Rauf reminded me of Shrek the Tie breaking vote went to The Colossus of Rhodey’s Gotta love the hypocrisy, which observes:

As stated previously, Imam Rauf has the RIGHT to build his community center/mosque near Ground Zero. I also believe that people can protest his decision peacefully, in an attempt to persuade him otherwise.

Pastor Jones has the RIGHT to burn a Koran

on 9/11 if he desires, in protest of [radical] Islam. I also happen to
think he’s going way overboard in his approach, that what he plans is
offensive, and I believe that people should protest his decision and his
actions.

But the Ruling Class and the MSM feel differently.

This week’s winning non-council post is Chandlers Watch‘s Violence: Bible vs Koran … Apples and Oranges which observes:

It is very significant that the Sira devotes 67% of its text to jihad. Mohammed averaged an event of violence every six weeks for the last nine years of his life. Jihad was what made Mohammed successful. Here is a chart of the growth of M'Hammedism.

Basically, when Mohammed was a preacher of religion, Islam grew at

the rate of ten new M'Hammedists per year. But when he turned to jihad, Islam
grew at an average rate of ten thousand per year. All the details of
how to wage jihad are recorded in great detail. The Koran gives the
great vision of jihad — world conquest by the political process. The
Sira is a strategic manual, and the Hadith is a tactical manual, of
jihad.
