I Demand to be Arrested!
Hillary Clinton, I insist that you have me arrested. I am thinking of making a movie about Mohammed.
I don’t want to brag, but as a film professional with an Academy Award nomination in screenwriting, I may do a better job than Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, alleged creator of the Innocence of Muslims.
But I have to admit one thing. Hopeless and inept as Nakoula may be as a filmmaker, I agree with the intentions of his movie. I too have a serious problem with Islam because I happen to abhor misogyny and homophobia, both mainstays of that faith. And, like most Americans, I prefer freedom of religion to jihad, Sharia law, and a global caliphate.
Don’t let me criticize any of that.
I also happen to agree with Nakoula that making a movie about a faith whose prophet married a six year old and deflowered her at nine is of thematic and dramatic relevance. As a father, I am seriously concerned about child abuse, as is most of our film-going public, I would imagine.
Indeed, the beginnings of Islam are the very stuff of great theatre and cinema, reprehensible as the actions of the protagonist may be. In fact, it may be great because of those actions. After all, Richard III is not a classic for nothing.
So I am very tempted by the subject of Mohammed.
Arrest me, Hillary Clinton, before I start. Call Eric Holder!
And while you are at it, tell him to round up Salman Rushdie. His novel about Mohammed is obviously blasphemous. He was lucky to escape that fatwa. We should have one of our own.
And arrest those Danish cartoonists too – ink-stained wretches!
Arrest everyone who dares to criticize a religion that wants to take the world back to the seventh century. After all, you’re a “progressive.” You’re on the side of human rights.
And make us apologize for our work, too. We didn’t mean a word we said. I’m sure the thoughtful folks in the Arab Street will accept our apologies and return to their peaceful, meditative lives.
But most of all, arrest me because I might even make things worse.
My film is likely to be inspired by a fascinating lecture I heard by the very Rushdie during which the novelist, who read Islamic history at Cambridge, explained the origins of that faith. He said it began with Mohammed’s ruthless and violent battle with the mother cults that then controlled Medina over local trade routes. It was about money then, but, as I will show in my movie, that war evolved into a kind of perpetual “War on Women” that has been waged by Islam since.
Interesting, huh? Good cinema. Action, adventure, sex (matriarchy vs. ultra-patriarchy), even a little meaty conversation like Lawrence of Arabia.
Don’t let me do it. There’s only one “War on Women” and you know it — the one your fellow Democrats ascribe to Mitt Romney and company. I wouldn’t want to undermine that.
So stop me, Hillary, before I write. The Bill of Rights is a fusty old document anyway, obviously subject to revision by an UN-approved committee of trans-global multi-culturalists.
Censor me all you want. I’m ready. I don’t want to cause any international incidents. I have enough sleepless nights as is.
But you will excuse me if, in the process, I think of you as the deepest of reactionaries. I knew you were a big time liar when you blamed the “right-wing conspiracy” for your husband’s obvious serial adultery. That was nothing compared to this, however. By blaming filmmakers, even the most amateurish ones, for the murderous actions of fanatical Islamists, you have placed yourself in complete opposition to everything our country ever stood for and to the essence of the U.S. Constitution.
How despicable.
ADDENDUM: For an insight to the degree to which our State Department has lied to us and to themselves about the situation in the Middle East, go here. Any Jews who now vote for Obama are “useful idiots” beyond anything ever conceived by Lenin.
How much of the BS, magical thinking, and deliberate obfuscation being retailed by Obama & Co. was whispered into Hillary’s ear by Huma? How much into Obama’s by the likes of Rashid Khalidi and Vallerie Jarrett, and other poisonous vipers…? The Israelis say they watched in horror as the Obama Administration contorted itself to explain away the unpleasant nastiness as the so-called Arab Sping revealed its true nature. Magical thinking? I think not. It is something far more sinister. The US government, and academia is crawling with Muslim operatives, abetted by Leftist operatives, each bent on the subversion of America… And they are succeeding, it would seem. People warn about a second Obama administration. He has already desecrated and harmed this nation so grievously, I don’t know if we can put her back together.
This is bigger than a titanic foreign policy blunder in living memory. This is a shattering crisis with shards of glass still flying at us.
And when Israel strikes Iran we will witness things that will shock us all to our core.
Keep dividing America and watch what 1.2 billion Muslims in the world are planning for you —

Maybe I’m missing your meaning, but it sounds like you’re saying that it’s I “dividing the country”??? If you mean pointing out those among us who are shielding, apologizing for, and abetting our Muslim enemy, then guilty! Before the Marxists deconstructed our language, before they foisted the poison of Multiculturalism and Amoral Relativism down our throats, we knew the meaning of the following list of words:
Evil
Sympathizer
Mole
Traitor
Treason
It was a kind of formula to keep our nation intact and safe from enemies, that is, until the communists and commie sympatisers in government and mainly colleges and media made commie outing and commie prosecution a doubleplusungood thoughtcrime …
Evil + sympathiser + mole + traitor = treason.
It went like that.
I’m quite familiar with the mostly splendid film “Obsession”. It errs tremendously by pushing the line that “the vast mojority of Muslms are peaceful” but that was back in 2005 or 2006 when it came out. We know more now, we know that the “vast majority” is doing nothing or damn little to thwart more than 20,000+++ Islamic terror attacks waged by pious Muslims since 9/11. They’r doing damn little to “moderate” the Arab Spring or “moderate” the nuclear Mullahs or “moderate the mosques in America which brim with hate literature and anti-American sermons…
His point was addressed to America not you. His point was ‘Go ahead and continue dividing America…’
When Obama got unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers to transform his notes and tapes into a book he called it Dreams From My Father. The father for whom Obama pines, the father who abandoned him at birth, was a Muslim and a Communist.
Excellent column Mr. Simon but I have a few quibbles. Islam is not a religion. It is a totalitarian political ideology with religious aspects. Mohammed should not be referred to by us infidels as a prophet. And Muslims are not trying to take us back to the 7th century. They are trying to to take us back to before the God of love sent his Son to redeem us. Whereas Islam was spread through the sword, Christianity was spread through the Word and the blood of its martyrs.
Well, except that Obama’s father might not have been named Obama;

We need only to read the recent statement by an Al Qaida spokesman in which he declares, “If your freedom of speech is boundless, then let your chests bear the freedom of our actions…”
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2012/09/15/al-qaeda-calls-for-more-attacks-on-us-embassies/#ixzz26c9ftb00
So Obama and The Beast are basically siding with Al Qaida. I guess our freedom of speech is not so boundless after all. And to think half of our country will vote for more of this in November.
I agree with you Ill Eagle. Many Americans have lost their capacity for critical thought owing to decades of mind-management by the moderate men, as I call them. I made my own Jewish New Year’s confession here: http://clarespark.com/2012/09/16/thought-crimes/. Until we remember how we got here, we will never dig ourselves out of the slough of despond.
IF I had talent in film making, surely a film on the death cult of Islam would be high on my list.
Alas, I have no such talent!
However, I have been penning o-eds for more than a decade, often aiming them at events in the Middle East.
In any case, let Hill, and anyone else, dare tell me what I can or cannot write. That ought to be an exercise in futility!
So, dear Hill, please read the following:

I do have a talent for filmmaking and I too have been “thinking of making a movie about Mohammed.” I will gladly join with others in such an undertaking.
As an American (Christian) who’s father died in the Pacific war, I have often thought that the first half of the twentieth century was the nadir of human civilization in terms of man’s application of all available means to dominate others, to accrue power in the name of race and/or ideology (and just plain kill people).
“The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. “ Robert A. Heinlein
In my twenties, I was deeply moved by the sense of impending evil as war came near, so effectively described by Herman Wouk in his novel, “Winds of War.” It rang so true with the discussions in my family I overheard as a child, about WW I and WW II, both from the point of view of first hand accounts of being on the front line and of those who waited at home. I believe those forebodings pale in comparison to the threat posed by radical Islam today.
I fear for my children and grandchildren. But as I write this, I have an even greater fear of MY OWN GOVERNMENT.
“The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public’s money.” Alexis de Tocqueville
If someone had told me when I was in high school (60′s), that in my lifetime our country would abandon the Bill of Rights, and embrace socialism, I would have thought him or her to be nonsensical.
With our embassies on fire, our leaders apologizing to our attackers and almost half of the country’s population ready to re-elect the government that forced them into poverty and sustains them with the fruit of the labors of the other half, I believe that America’s founding fathers, are spinning in their graves. In spite of their best efforts, we are on the brink of loosing everything they risked all for:
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. ”
“And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” United States Declaration of Independence
Mr. Simon,
I know your proposal to make a movie was editorial rhetoric, but please reconsider. Such a movie needs to be made, this time by a competent movie maker. THAT would turn the light on in the cockroach nest for sure!
Well said.
You realize that anyone associated with such a film would be a target for muslim assassins. That’s an awful big risk, should not be taken lightly. How do you produce the film whilst still protecting yourself and your family, as well as everyone else associated with the production, from danger? Unless we can answer that question, we’re asking for martyrdom.
We can all sign on as producers.
If that prevents us from fighting back, the muzzies win.
Islamists need to be bombarded by criticism of Mohammed and the less savory aspects of Islam. So many examples of it that they learn they can’t control it, no matter how big a tantrum they throw. They need to grow up.
Truly fighting for freedom of speech does not mean demeaning The Christ and worrying about a hit squad of Nuns coming for you. Christians do not kill people the way Muslims do when they get their panties in a bunch. Making a movie that ticks off the Muslims – that is where there is a true fight waiting. That requires courage on the part of the “offender”.
I personally do not believe it good to demean other faiths, but in this case, the Muslim radicals have won me over to the cause of ripping their faith in all sorts of mediums. This is about one group threatening violence to stop one of our basic rights. Go for it Roger – I think you have gravitas to do it and we need to win this battle against our fundamental rights. Also, I bet you would rake in the cash if it was even half way decent.
Chipperoo said: “…How do you produce the film whilst still protecting yourself and your family, as well as everyone else associated with the production, from danger?…”
Simple. Roger and everyone else who works on the film lists their name in the credits as “Alan Smithee”. (See Wikipedia, http ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Smithee)
Or John Galt.
Or Spartacus.
Hurry up Roger before other artists get all the scandal

Respect is like love- just as you can’t force someone to love you, you can’t force someone to respect you. So if we show respect to Islam, it is fake. It’s fake coming from Obama. It’s fake coming from Hillary. It would be fake coming from me. This is because no sensible American (left, right or center) respects their treatment of women, gays, ethnic minorities, and children. No one respects hatred and violence being preached from the pulpit. No one respects dressing a child up as a suicide bomber and teaching him that that is a direct path to heaven. Sorry Islam, you have to earn respect just like everyone else. And Obama, stop taking away our rights in order to force us to show this fake, phoney, BS “respect”.
This past week has shown that Obama, Hillary, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs do not know how American works or what we stand for.
I ask again (worried and confused) why aren’t the polls now showing 90% Romney, 10% Obama?
Because the pollsters use tricks like oversampling democrats, undersampling independents and republicans, oversampling hispanics and blacks, etc…
In other words, they rig the sample to get the numbers they want.
Believe me I wish I could agree with you, but even Rasmussen has shown that this hasn’t moved the needle one bit. If THIS doesn’t change people’s minds, I’m afraid nothing will.
“…but even Rasmussen has shown that this hasn’t moved the needle one bit…”
Free stuff trumps the occasional murder of an American Ambassador every time!
Send a RINO to lead the horse to water, and the horse is going to die of thirst.
As to Mr. Simon’s idea…go for it! You can only hope Hillary is stupid enough to arrest you. It would be great publicity.
I don’t think it’s fake coming from Obama.
True but then how does he rationalize this conundrum-
If there is a war on women in the US, what do you call what is going on in Iran? (Or anywhere in the Muslim world.)
It’s just a rhetorical question. I know the liberal mind replaces logic and consistancy with emotion and impulse.
Over on The Hill, there was an article on the race and polls . The majority of the replies were about…Romney’s tax returns.
Meanwhile, on my favorite general issues/culture/lifestyle sites, there is …complete and utter silence on the ongoing events in the ME. They don’t care about the attacks on our embassies. They don’t care about the murdered Americans .(Most of the posters on these sites are American, with some British, Canadian, and ‘others’ posting.) We may be about to see the First Amendment destroyed, and they are either in total ignorance, or they are indifferent.
When politics *are* brought up on these sites (which is pretty rare) , it’s generally to complain about “rethuglicons” war on women/how they’re using The Handmaid’s Tale as a blueprint/how all contraceptives plus abortion will be made illegal if Romney is elected…Free or cheap contraception and abortion readily available is ALL these people care about.
Expect BHO to be either reelected or narrowly defeated. I just don’t understand the folks that think Romney is going to win in a landslide. I hope they’re right, but I just don’t see any reason to believe this.
A solid Red electoral map is a really big landslide. Even if you win by 50 (or even 57)votes.
Because too many people are clueless of what is going on in the world and go to the ballot box and cult-of-personality vote. Many also were big supporters and excited to be a part of voting for the first black man and like women who marry abusive husbands are in denial.
Well,I’m in the process of making my own video for YouTube…it shows me being commodious….i.e sitting on the john…and explaining to the viewer that I use a page from the koran every time I have to take a mohammed…because it’s just sooo much softer than Charmin….then finishes with me saying…”Remember,folks…there is no God but Jehovah..and mohammed is STILL his punk”
FATWA; Gezundheit!!!!

)We asked about the association with Frank Marshall Davis, the angry and bitter mentor with CPUSA ties, and they completely ignored us, telling us it didn’t matter.
2)We found out by ourselves, without them lifting a finger, about Jeremiah Wright and his frothing diatribes against America and Israel. When we asked them to look into this, they completely ignore us and told us it didn’t matter.
3)When Wright screeched for God to damn America, that the white man had invented AIDS to kill black people, that Louis Farrakhan was a hero and a role model, we asked them again to help us reveal items of importance, and again they ignored us and told us it didn’t matter.
4)So we looked up James M. Cone’s liberation theopolitics ourselves and found that it is based on Marxist principles, that they have threatened their deity…if their deity doesn’t hate whites, they will kill him. And we asked them to use their resources to help us understand why anyone would follow such a line of thinking and they ignored us and told us it didn’t matter.
5)Then we saw another dear friend, Michael Pfleger…acting out a bizarre minstrel show, raging against white people and their grandfathers and 401k’s. And we asked them to help us understand the attraction to such a buffoon, and they ignored us and said it didn’t matter.
6)So we trudged off to dig again on our own for when these folks became “dear friends” and “spiritual guides” and “mentors” and we found a basic history of mediocre to poor grades at Occidental College, certainly nothing of distinction or honors level…somehow translating into an acceptance at Columbia University. We asked how that could occur, given the extremely stringent entrance requirements, and they ignored us and said it didn’t matter.
7)Not only did the lack of scholarly achievement gain entrance to Columbia, it held fast throughout the stay there. There is not an ounce of record or shred of documentation that shows mere attendance, much less achievement. And yet, upon this ghost of a resume, acceptance into Harvard Law School, an institution with notoriously improbable statistics for gaining entry for those who score at the top of their class. We asked for an explanation, and we were ignored and told it didn’t matter.
8)During these Columbia years, we came to find that a co-conspirator in the mass murder of innocent Americans lived within walking distance. We also learned of some Socialist meeting halls at some Cooper place. We asked for details on all of this and we were told none would be forthcoming, because it didn’t matter.
9) This Ayers and his wife Dohrn hold such extremist radical views, they…unlike Wright, did not ask for God to damn America…they sought to embrace enemies who would incinerate it here on earth. Ayers apparently masterminded an indoctrination of schoolchildren plot, that was hidden behind stealth words and code names. He handpicked operatives to field general his master plan and we asked for help in uncovering his lifelong plan of overthrow of the government. We were told it didn’t matter, he was a “respected” professor among his fellow travelers in academia and the entrenched media…so it really, really didn’t matter.
10)One of the handpicked operatives is a guy named Michael Klonsky. This fellow was a chief blogger on the campaign welcome wagon and a Maoist who met with the Communist Chinese in an effort to prop up Maoism here at home. Klonsky, something called the New Party, the Democratic Socialists of America, the Students for a Democratic Society, the Weathermen…all seemed to overlap much like a clear plastic layout where one additonal layer adds to the picture of the last. We asked about connecting the dots with all these elements, and we were told no, go away and quit asking questions…it just doesn’t matter.
11)So, as we wondered how in the world these extremists were funded, we came upon a couple of boards of “charitable” organizations where Ayers once again popped up. Apparently millions and millions of dollars would be ground up like sausage, so as not to be recognizable and then would funnel through to various extremist ideological fronts. Apparently other board members were kept in the dark, or only served in yawning rote rubber stamp positions while this was being plotted right under their noses. Nobody knows, because nobody has aksed them…because, we are told…it didn’t matter.
12)One of the fundings went to this guy named Rashid Khalidi. He was an apologist for Arafat and a defender of suicide bombers of innocent children and women. He was feted at some dinner and they got a copy of the tape of this dinner, we asked them to see it and they said the source (perhaps Ali Abuminah, but maybe not) was more important than the truth. We said it was important to know what was on that tape and they told us our opinion doesn’t matter.
13)So Stanley Kurtz went digging for himself into how the Woods Foundation worked and the CAC was inter-related, and he went to a public university and to a public library to do the digging that they would not. And he was told that he would be refused access. We asked them to come to the aid of free speech, public access to documents, to help repel the coverup of information that is vital to our liberties as a nation. They sat on their hands and said it didn’t matter.
14)Joe the Plumber was approached at his home, seeking neither attention nor even leaving his property to invite it, and he said that the increase in taxation on certain folks sounded unfair to him. He did not a single thing more, and he was attacked viciously, not for the question, but because of a part of the answer. In fact, his privacy was invaded and illegally used as a campaign tool to continue the vicious attack. We asked that they engage in the condemnation of such vile usage of power and they sat on their hands and told us it didn’t matter.
15)Three of their brethren journalists have been eliminated from the plane as we approach the finish line, and coincidentally, all three who have been thrown off…are the ones who endorsed the opposing candidate. In asking them if that should be the future conduct as it applies to them, they sat on their hands and said it didn’t matter.
And, now…in the final days…Stanley Kurtz, Joe the Plumber, and fair minded and reasonable people everywhere are asking the last couple of questions.
Since all of the above have gone completely without a shred of investigation on your part, what if this candidate indeed shares those views of radical extremism? The methodologies of “boling the frog” one degree at a time? Perhaps it is far fetched….and yes, we anticipate your accusations of tin foil hat paranoia…but, simply answer the question. Because, you don’t know…and neither do we. You never asked the question. So, now…what if?
And the answer they gave is this…if it is true and he is already elected, by the time we find out for real…it’s not going to matter.
And for the first time, in a long time…I believed them.

Obama’s harvard science czar was the guy who wrote “nudge”, right?
The thesis was how to ‘nudge’ the reluctant masses from Fabian Socialism into downright communism a degree at a time.
well, it’s done.

No. The science dude is Holdren. The nudge dude is Sunstein. Sunstein is a particularly bogus character who has the chutzpah to call himself a libertarian. Paternalistic libertarian, or something else completely ludicrous like that.
Make the film, damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Make the film, Roger!
And add my name to the credits somewhere. Nothing too important. Head writer or something.
Hmmm, now that I think of it, I assume a great number of people wouldn’t mind their names being used in the credits. What would Zero call that? Oh, I know, “shared responsibility”.
They can’t possibly track down and kill everyone listed in the New York City telephone book (for example ’cause I think you would have that many volunteers!)could they?
Just remember, we expect a damn fine movie, pulling no punches!
We deserve no less for putting our lives on the line!
After the way they treated this filmmaker I never want to hear any progressive talk about any conservative politician having a “chilling effect” on speech. Before they arrested him a general in the American army called him to discuss his speech. A military man called a civilian to admonish his exercise of free speech. I still can’t believe this.
Andy, two different people. Gen. Dempsey called Rev. Jones who was supporting the film. He didn’t produce it.
The man taken in for an ‘interview’ at midnight was the producer.
I am afraid for our country. There seems to be an escalation, an acceleration of Islamist aggression in many of our cities, and not just via prayer-protest but also via lawsuit. Even now, the United Nations is preparing a truly racist document against the Jews, (Durban II), and yet it’s being promoted as an “anti-racist’ document. Why is the mainstream media so silent about all this? Why are the intelligentsia silent, why do they once again make common cause with totalitarians and fascists? What will it take to connect the dots?
Phyllis, when it becomes more important to be seen on the “chic” side of an issue, rather than on the principled side of an issue, we have lost our way.
When it becomes more important to care about how we look to our “New friends”, than how we stand by our ideals, we have lost our way.
When it becomes more “hip” to slander our country than to protect it from slander, then we have lost our way.
When we become convinced that being erudite means that we are narrow-minded and reactionary against any opinions but those acceptable to “academia”, we have lost our way.
When we become peer pressured into silence against rabid Jew hating, and it is more important that we are liked because we hold the “correct” opinions …than it is to say “Never Again”, we have lost our way.
When it is more important to ignore the hatred of Jewish existence, culture and statehood, than it is to embrace them, then we have lost our way.
When it is more important to be accepted by our leftist friends, than it is to be honorable about our country, our countrymen and our alliance with Israel, then we have lost our way.
When leftist ideology goes bad, when it leaves the path upon which we first so fervently believed in it…our choice is put before us. Is it more important to remain on a bad path so that people we know won’t condemn us, or is it more important to blaze a new path, so that years from now, looking back, …we will not condemn ourselves.

As Sec of State, Hillary is directly responsible for all state dept dealings. Could the lack of security in many embassys world wide have anything to do with the absolute fact that she detests the military? I don’t know how much sway she has in security there but I would think she is ultimately responsible for any and all security breaches on her watch.
Maybe the security breaches come from whom she associates with?
Mr. Simon;
It has to be in theaters well before November 6th to have any effect. It won’t matter much after that.
Quit thinking and get to work!
If I can help in any way, you have my email address.
And Roger;
Make the companion video game! We can then make copies and air drop them over all Arab states for a real hoot!
Roger – don’t bother with the film. The authoritative takedown of Mohammed has already been done. See it at http://www.barnhardt.biz. The director and star, Ann Barnhardt, deals with the topic seriously and visually. There is meat and heat in this film. There is both smoke and fire. And courage and truth. See this film. Scroll down a bit and you will find the video. (btw, Roger, your title for this post makes me think you already saw her film. Were you signed up to do the sequel?)
Well, I linked to the site you offered, and it would certainly appear that you would have us choose to fight Islamic sharia with Christian sharia. I heartily recognize the historical debt owed to the Judeo-Christian world view upon which the West is anchored. And I can easily understand its superiority over an Islamic world view. But Kent, not everyone is going to want to march under a Christian banner, as not everyone who is conservative or leans right is a member of that faith (and some are of no religious faith). Some of us believe in the 1st Amendment just as much as we do in the 2nd and the 10th.
I believe that you and I are allies in this fight. Please don’t try to alienate and divide those of us who believe differently from you (and most other conservatives, I acknowledge) on matters of spiritual transcendence. Again, we’re allies … don’t drive us away.
Okay. And don’t drive away Ann Barnhardt either.
she is a babe in the woods (Ann Barnhart) I listen to my oldest son talk this way and it stays in the family ,we call it venting but it never goes this far how she has a better gun then the one who threaten her by email and she can kill him better than he kill her magical thinking

4 So Ahab went home, sullen and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said, “I will not give you the inheritance of my ancestors.”
(enter the Jezebel)
Listen to the Holy Pope of Rome to wacko Jezebels
Wacko? Yes wacko.
dude…….
Someone deserve the license to be wacko. That is my calling from the true God to the modern atheist secular wackos in the sight of the True God
Thus I throw the soul of this ann in the red head beast saint sanctuary where the spiritual DICTATOR is saint Cathrine of Seinia and the duality of her guardian angel with her soul face where her passion soul dance and she get license to be naked before the true God to vent her frisky and one I arrive to this sanctuary three or 4 times a week this frisky is directed toward beast men ro defeat their sinful lusts and not the called saints who must endure the wickedness as their way to become very close to God
How the rif eaf in their attempt to steal from God just open up the demons that will devour them unless they throw themselves on the mercy seat of the True God
the ZEAL from The Lord make me ROBUST
Are you going back to the hospital tomorrow? Don’t share your “insights” with the doctor who signs your release.
Wacko? Or course not. This is another misinformation ploy. Micro Targeting.
Hey, just cynically wondering, where the Hell is C. Blunder?
C. Blunder fades and Wiggy Waxy One appears.
Get to it Wiggy Waxy One – Do Conseratives eat Modern Liberal babies?
Nah, not enough liberal babies to eat to keep you alive; they abort most of them.
“The Bill of Rights is a fusty old document anyway, obviously subject to revision by an UN-approved committee of trans-global multi-culturalists.”
To idiots like Hillary Clinton and Obama, the UN has become the new faith, the new global organization that not only has total justification over everything, but will enslave people with laws that no nation ever voted on, no nation allowed its own citizens to approve, or allowed citizens from any nation to dissent from. I’ve had my belly full of the UN, which is doing SUCH a “fantastic” job stopping Iran right now from getting a nuclear bomb. I really am beginning to believe that if mankind is to survive, the UN has to go, and soon. If not, we will be living in a much more dangerous world. And Americans will have nothing to say about it until it’s too late.
I’ve got plenty to say;
(sniff)? Nothing sweeter than the smell of Hodgdon in the morning!
I don’t know. I think Accurate or IMR would give Hodgdon a run for the money.
But I do agree with the sentiment.
Rule 303 for the Brits.
Rule 308 for the Yanks.
But, Uncle Lar;
Why wouldn’t you be true to your (apparent) heritage, and use Vihtavuori? Especially with Lapua?
I went to the link to read about Jewish voters in the US. It said that the majority of Jews do nit care about Israel and will vote Obama. So why bother with Israel? If the American Jews do not care, why spend all this time and money? In the comments below, the highest rated comment was that Americans do not like Israeli racism. I know Israel does nit guve citizenship to any chikd birn there except one born to a Jewish mother. Will this need to be changed?
Roger, your views are wonderful to read. Why do the majority of Jews want to save the huddled masses? That poem on the Statue of Liberty was by a Jew but is that really what Ametica is about, such a socialist concept versus the American dream?
“I know Israel does nit [sic] guve [sic] citizenship to any chikd [sic] birn [sic] there except one born to a Jewish mother.”
This is not true. I have a good friend, an Arab Israeli Christian. As an Israeli citizen–like the rest of his Christian family–he travels on an Israeli passport.
Roger, there is a Federal law out there that makes waking up in the morning illegal. Just take care, and make the movie.
Roger,
Don’t forget to recruit Roman Polanski to direct your film. He knows all about gangsters, shakedowns and sex with underage girls…
Arrest Ray Stevens too. He ridiculed Ahab the A-rab, Little Egypt, Sargent Preston of the Yukon, the Shriner’s Convention, Osama-Yo-Mama and my favorite getting a Hair Cut out of town (I’m still LOL over I’m a logger)
Ah! The Sheik of the Burning Sand…and his camel named Clyde!
Hit it, Clyde!
Question: Why are Camels called ships of the desert?
Answer: Because they are full of Arab semen.
Forgive me but I have to “plagiarize” this.

What Soros did to inflame Africa, distributing Xerox machines, he’s doing now — in concert with dozens of networked entities including the U.S. President.
Purpose? Cloward-Pliven endpoint. Chaos. Panicked populations begging the social engineers like Obama’s czars to take charge.
O is too stupid to see it, but every such move in history turned into a Terror which had as its first victim the very leader of the movement.
Oh — today it’s not Xerox machines, it’s social media.
Wanna put this bum in the WH in a real bind? Make a pile of thousands of Korans and threaten to burn them unless the maker of this film is left alone. I thought I’d never see the day when something like this is happening in my country. THE FASCIST TYRANT IN THE WHITE HOUSE NEEDS TO BE EVICTED. That photo looks like IT WAS TAKEN IN..SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE EAST!! How’s that for irony?????
On a good idea-bad idea scale- this is BOTH! A twofer! Great idea.
Betina, for those with eyes to see, “this day” has been happening for many years, beginning in the 60s. Goebbels is the whole wall of network news, academia, urban press, public school teachers, guilds, unions, courts — all our institutions down to the churches. Think AMA and FDA for just a microcosm of the rot.
Past the tipping point. Can’t be fixed. Go Galt.
pelaut I agree with everything you say except the tipping point.
“Any Jews who now vote for Obama are ‘useful idiots’ beyond anything ever conceived by Lenin.”
I disagree. With the Obama administration now treating the First Amendment as defunct, any *Americans* who vote for Obama are useful idiots.
P.S. Lest my remark be misinterpreted, I mean that it’s both American Jews and American gentiles who would be the useful idiots.
Obama on being asked why he was going to a campaign Las Vegas appearance on the heels of the Benghazi consulate murders: “Why can’t I just finish my waffling.”
Peewee Herman got arrested for masturbation? I should be on death row!
The problem with these ‘Intellectual Elites’ is that they are neither. These guys have a real problem. It’s like watching someone try to get their size 13 feet into a size 9 shoe. The truth doesn’t fit their narrative but they continue to try to force it to and like wearing shoes too small it’s gonna’ hurt.
Great stuff. Very similar to my postings over at The Diplomad–but I don’t have an Academy Award nomination, sigh.
If you don’t think you have a shot at a nomination for one of the technical awards (e.g. Best Chiaroscuro in a Natural Light Documentary Filmed at Midnight), just spend the $10,000 to get your own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Then watch Roger turn green with envy.
If ya’ll aren’t reading Diplomad 2.0 on a regular basis, you are missing out. He’s a retired FSO with an interesting perspective on things; take a look at a recent post: http://thediplomad.blogspot.com/2012/09/on-actionable-intelligence.html
I fold my toilet tissue instead of bunch it up. This allows me to write on the top sheet the word “Koran” with a magic marker kept nearby the commode before I wipe my butt with it. If only some company would start making “Koran Toilet Tissue”!
It’s also a superior liner for your bird cage, and wraps fish very nicely.
Roger. Surely you didn’t write this stellar article to make us all feel as if we are not alone in our outrage. Surely you are going to literally make this film, are you not? Seven weeks between now & the most significant election of our country’s history; that’s not much time.
Mohammed’s life and known behaviors contrast starkly to Islam’s insistence on him as the “perfect” untouchable man, he who is so precious and honorable that even his depiction is blasphemous.
(Never mind that he has been “depicted” many times in 1400 years, here, there and everywhere, and Islam’s adherents of the past didn’t seem to have a problem with that.)
But anytime you get into Mohammed’s personal story, the Islamist sales pitch on just about every particular is contradicted. Tell one of these people that one (or more) of Mohammed’s bickering women may have poisoned him at age 62, and they go ballistic.
Silly and satirical as that film clip is, it reflects some of the truth about the perfect man’s life.
The same twaddle coming out of our government right now on Islam is not far removed from the constant stream of twaddle we are subjected to on all subjects closer to home, included, but not limited to “the economy”.
Everything is spin, optics and twaddle.
When the abominable pile of crap movie “The Last Temptation of Christ” came out which blasphemed Christ and diminished his true person and narrative; the libs were tripping over themselves to cheer it on. After all Marty Scorsese made it and he’s a great filmmaker. Then the public voted with its feet and the film sunk into obscurity.
Now this amateur and yet truthful portrayal of the false prophet Mohammed comes out and the left is scandalized. How dare the producer offend the tender sensitivities of noble Islam! Liberalism, deconstructionism, multiculturalism and all the rest of the left’s bilge are truly signs and symptoms of madness and cultural nihilism. The enemy is inside the gates.
If you ARE arrested by the petty Tyrant in Chief, you will have a lot of company, Roger. Together, we’ll be able to construct our strategy and tactics for the REAL BATTLE to come.
But you need to cast Sacha Baron Cohen as Muhammed. The thing would fairly write itself!
Not to mention it would be frikkin HYSTERICAL! (As well as historical!)
I once saw, in the library of the university where I worked, someone had scratched into a desk top: “There is no god but Allah.” Imagine doing that during your study time.
But underneath, someone had written in Sharpie: “And Mohammed is his terrorist.”
This was soon after 9/11.
Ah,oh. Kathryn Bigelow is going to lose a lot of money. Who is Kathryn Bigelow? She is the filmmaker who, in cohoots with Obama, the WH, CIA, etc. received “classied” information on the killing of osama bin laden so she could make the film ZERO DARK THIRTY.
Wonder if the WH is going to NOW “allow” a film that they were complicit in its making of the killing of Islam’s hero, make it to the big screen.
Islam riots chant: “Obama, Obama, we are millions of Osamas.”
At one time, Mosab Hassan Yousef claimed that he would produce a critical film history of Mohammed based on Ishaq’s Sirah Rasul Allah.
I know that both Walid Shoebat and Debbie Schussel have been very critical of Yousef, because he is deeply anti-Israel, filled with Judenhass, is pretty mendacious in his book, Son of Hamas, and may be a bit of a fraud.
Was this film project always a lie? Is it still a live project? I’d really like to know.
See PJM columnist J. Christian Adams (http://pjmedia.com/jchristianadams/2012/09/16/roundup-of-basseley-nakoula-no-big-deal/#comment-31098) for a dose of sanity in this matter.
Regardless of the FACTS of this case, the taking in to custody of the film maker is believed by the moslem masses (at least, those who are posting comments on LAT articles) as proof that he has been arrested for making the film, will face charges for making the film , and will be punished, simply for exercising his First Amendment rights. Whether that is or is not true is irrelevant, that is what the moslem street believes to be the case. Therefore they believe they have triumphed, that the USA is about to ratify and abide by that UN diktat, and that the film maker may even be turned over to a moslem nation (Libya, Egypt,-???) for the carrying out of his execution, which they take for granted is about to happen. In short , moslems are encouraged by the actions of the BHO administration. Adam’s analysis is (to put it mildly…)overly sanguine and based on his ignorance of how these events are being interpreted in moslem hellholes worldwide.
Oh, so they believe this/that/the other? Well, shoot, if it’ll make them happy, let ‘em believe that Nakoula, Rushdie, and everyone who’s ever posted on this website have been magically extradited to Qom by djinni and devoured alive by wild dogs. Ritual boasting is invariably found in cultures composed of evil savages, consumed by their own sense of inferiority. The pathetic wretches are in for a very hard fall. In Egypt alone, millions will probably die of starvation. The West will have its hands full trying to protect the Copts. Responding to ritual boasting is a fool’s game.
Roger, great article. These two leaders of our country are like little kids blaming somebody else for their mistake. Lets see, it is the 9/11 anniversary. Every islamist out there has said they want to strike us again. The trailer was made months ago but was released to the muslim world on 9/11, and our embassies were attacked leading to the death of Americans. You see where I’m going. This was planned, Obama and Hillary dropped the ball and now they want to blame the whole thing on some guy in California. Geez! People please vote President Obama out in November.
The reason that I reposted two of my comments from four years ago, is that there were signs….clear and present dangers, that were completely ignored four years ago, that freedom of speech was not a protection but an obstacle in the way of Obama’s ambitions.
Four years ago I felt the chill wind of an Islam/leftist cloud forming around Obama. Not just Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam, not just Rashid Khalidi, not just Ali Abuminah. Not just Bill Ayers, not just Jeremiah Wright, not just Mike Klonsky. Not just Frank Marshall Davis.
It was not merely the “associations”, it was the acts and deeds that ripped an icy cold hand of brutish response through the heart of mild dissent and modest inquiry.
You didn’t need to make a film about Mohammed to get kicked off the plane, denied access at a public library, to have material evidence taken hostage by a major media outlet. All you had to do, was ask a question.
They went after Joe the Plumber, they went after Fox News, they tried to gin up the Fairness Doctrine, they stonewalled Stanley Kurtz, they buried every trace of history and reddened the eyes of John McCain.
Where in all this did we miss the notion that they didn’t give a damn about free speech?
Where in all this did we miss their iron-fisted tendencies and suppression of principled opposition and dissent?
Where in all this did we miss their antipathy toward America and Israel?
Where in all this did we miss their deep bows and supplication to Islam over Judeo-Christian heritage?
Where in all this did we miss the intent to rule, not govern?
If we focus on the arrest of the low budget film participants as a matter dealing with Mohammed, we miss the point….again. Four years later, we would still not have learned the real lesson.
Go back and read my two posts above, line by line, carefully.
Our liberties, our freedoms, our Constitution, our rights, our country…are not being protected, they are being overthrown. The revolution is on and has been on for four years. You don’t need to make a film confronting a false prophet from the ninth century in order to get arrested or attacked.
Simply target the false prophet of today and you can accomplish the same result.
Freedom of religion (Catholic/Christian or Jew), freedom of information, freedom of speech, protection of our borders, protection of our voting processes, protection of our checks and balances, protection of our military secrets, protection of our national security, protection of acquired wealth, protection of our bodies and freedom from government intrusion are all under assault.
We’ve all already been arrested. We’ve ignored the handcuffs for four years.
We have less than two months to not have them permanently affixed. And, that may not be enough time to do what we should have been doing all along.
Resisting the overthrow with every fiber of our being.
Go back and read my two posts above, line by line, carefully.
I read them carefully and appreciate greatly what you write here.
We missed the signs like the frog in the pot, slowly and stealthily heating the water to the boiling point. We missed it in the mis- and dis-education that has been the standard in the public school classroom for decades now, apparently intentional. We missed it in our self-absorption and our cultural decline, also spanning decades.
And even at all that, I have a hard time acknowledging that America is far enough gone that the machinations of these jokers might prevail, that we won’t rise up and repulse them.
I did read those comments and they were brilliant, cf.
I also understood the gravity of what was happening. I read an article about the Cloward-Piven strategy at American Thinker a couple months before the election. On Election Night I remarked on a blog somewhere, “Now I understand how non-Nazi Germans must have felt in 1932.”
The revolution is on and has been on for four years.
I have a slight quibble about that sentence. See Garet Garrett’s “The Revolution Was” which was written about the New Deal in 1938.
“There are those who still think they are holding the pass against a revolution that may be coming up the road. But they are gazing in the wrong direction. The revolution is behind them. It went by in the Night of Depression, singing songs to freedom.”
You think you are brave? There are a lot of braver people out there. You think you are smart? There are a lot of smarter people out there. They all blame the filmmaker on mob attacks on 911. The day that silly Bush used to raise threat alerts across the world to orange. Remember those little oranges that the undocumented workers grow in California? He actually believes they will alarm the American people. What a moron!
If you are brave, you should challenge me, the President, not Hillary, my hired help, to arrest you. I’ll meet your challenge gladly. I killed Osama, you know? I’ll send the Brown Shirts, I mean tan shirted sheriff deputies, to knock at your door at midnight, I mean in the middle of the night, to drag you out of your bed to the police station for questioning. I hope you’ve never made a mistake on your 1040. I can nail you on tax evasion, tax fraud, you know? I promise you I won’t torture you though. Torture someone to get answers is so crude. Bush did that, you know? But I’ve got to warn you, don’t travel abroad. I can designate you as a threat to national security and drone strike you any time. Just be careful, buddy. Don’t get fat either, my wife tells me obesity is the greatest threat to national security. Fat people, don’t travel abroad. I can strike you who is a threat to national security. Ha! Ha!
Four more years! Ha! Ha!
You are a fool – and I hope a very young fool. That way you will have a good LONG time to reflect on a lost land where the people had it pretty good.
I keep thinking about Monty Python’s “The Life of Brian.” If those men were in full flower today, and considering the disdain they expressed for Christianity in the televised debates when the film came out that can be seen on youtube, Islam would seem to be an obvious target of their wrath, especially with the completely different demographic make-up of London today as opposed to 1979.
People not around at the time forget the controversy surrounding the film and that it was banned in some European countries and in select villages in England. There was a tiny amount of self-censorship employed but obviously the film is pretty brutal to Christianity. However, obviously, there were no violent reactions.
With the fairly honest satirical temperament of the men in Monty Python but with the PC realities of today, it is interesting to speculate on them making an identical send up about Islam today. Would they do it? Could they do it? Would they be brought up on charges in the UK, The Hague, the U.N.? People are crazy for not interviewing them because the parallels are stark and obvious. Can one say Monty Python were being needlessly provocative in 1979? Who decides when vicious satire is such a thing? Who has the right to parse comedic satire in such terms?
I say it’s time to pull these Islamists right down to Earth. Somebody needs to make a “Life of Brian” analogue. I’m tired of the liberal protected groups getting some sort of pass on the tenets of civilization while insisting they have full access to it. Obama can have a section on his website dedicated to African-Americans selling buttons that say “We’ve Got His Back,” and The Root have articles titled “Black Professionals: We’ve Got Obama’s Back.” Obama’s selling buttons that say “African-Americans For Obama.” Do I need to say what would happen if Romney had buttons that said “European-Americans For Obama?”
The GOP would be fitted with a KKK hood in about 5 sec. – they don’t even do that stuff and they are anyway. This is the pot calling the kettle black. Not only does the Dem Party need to be taken down but the incredible hypocrisy of Islam.
10 years ago Egyptian TV produced a 41 part series shown across the middle east called “Horsemen Without A Horse” based in part on “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. It shows Jews in temple pouring lead down a bound Christian’s throat and cutting off his ears for cooking on Shabbat and cutting a child’s throat to get blood to make Matzah for Passover – both very graphic scenes. For these babies to be crying about this film and out gov’t to be bending over and lifting their skirts instead of asking Egypt’s Morsi and other Muslims about this film is mind bogglingly stupid.
I meant “European-Americans for Romney.”
Mr Simon. I read your piece this morning and felt the same frisson of excitement that Parisian lovers of Truth and Freedom must have felt when opening their papers to Zola’s J’Accuse. Make the movie, it will outstrip 2016.
England is leaving Christianity . It is now a joke among the majority. This must be alarming to the higher ups. Maybe that is why they believe they need an Islam to replace with?
Some of the “higher ups” in Britain are the problem, like the (now former) Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams who a few years ago said that eventually Shari’a law would co-exist alongside English common law.
Britain isn’t looking for a replacement religion to Christianity but it is looking to appease its considerable (and growing) Islamic population, ignoring the admonition of one of its smartest guys, Winston Churchill…”An appeaser feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.”
Barry, Hillary and all the useless idiots in our own government are following the same strategy as Britain has been following for awhile now.
Great article Roger! If all of these coward Hollywood divas refuse to play in your movie under the pretext of “respect for the feelings of Muslims” (actually because they are scared witless about what might happen to them if they participate) I personally volunteer to act in your movie! As a rather chubby, olive skinned, black haired, brown eyed iranian beauty I think I will suit for a whole host of roles in your “life of Muhammed” movie! I can play one of his many wives, concubines, or sex-slaves that he captured during his wars and raped after he killed their male family members in front of their eyes. I can be one of those women whom he sold into slavery. I will gladly and proudly participate in your project and will not fear anything!
I grew up in Iran under the Islamic regime. I saw with my own eyes as I grew up what Pious and fanatical Muslims do to women! I saw how they could arrest us just for showing a few strands of our hair as we were walking in the street, how they would send battered wives to the houses of their abusive husbands and while denying them a divorce, how a divorced mother would lose the right to be in contact with her children if her ex-husband wished so and there was no court that she could appeal to! I have seen with my own eyes how they treat women less than dirt and blame all of male inappropriate sexual impulses on them! In the eyes of Islam a woman is all vagina from the top of her head down to her toes (BTW apparently they have that in common with some feminists and code pink)!
When I was in Iran I could never open my mouth and criticize the obvious flaws of Islam which was ruining my country and holding it back becauseI lived under a brutal Islamic dictatorship. But now that I am free at last and in the West I WILL NOT SHUT UP! I came here to be free, to say what I want and not hold back in proclaiming the truth as I see it! If the Obama regime wants to take that right away from me here as well I like you refuse to go quietly! I didn’t come all this way to let a gang of appeasing socialists silence me again!!!! I stand with you Roger! God bless you!
so without Christianity and without Islam what happens to the people in the future?
Witches Brew; I make some that comes out at about 10% alcohol.
so what happens to your children and your children’s children?
I can hear cute Lucifer then saying to God: I turn them into robots . Can we now go back to dinosaur the time THE FLESH SERVED THE SPIRIT in Total and obey out of blind lust to unite with the spirit what all flesh want this total uniting without little delay
I hope God will say: I still have saints to call that you have not converted yet
“God takes care of those that take care of themselves.”
Take very good care, my friend. We need each other.
He violated the terms of his parole, was brought in for questioning, and released. This basically makes you an idiot who wasted two hours drafting a truly ridiculous and overwrought screed.
At buttcrack-thirty on a Saturday morning. Yeah.
Obama crossed red lines for even his calmest critics this time. As I said at Hot Air before my account mysteriously quit working a few years ago: “Obama can’t take the oath of office without committing perjury.”
To avoid this becoming a law review article, the basic point is that many lawyers these days, and progressives generally since Woodrow Wilson, reject the supremacy of the US Constitution in favor of international law.
Having met many of them personally in the legal field, learning ‘constitutional law’ from one, and given the leftist USSC opinions supporting this position, I wasn’t exactly going out on a limb.
Their intellectual foundation (or “grundnorm” per Hans Kelsen) is not the supremacy of the US Constitution. It’s treaties and international law. So when Obama took the Oath of Office (a faith-based affirmation of our secular civil religion, our grundnorm in other words) he wasn’t being entirely truthful.
Unfortunately, when it comes to speech concerning Islam, the legal trend is to implement Islamic blasphemy laws in the guise of “hate speech” or “denigrating religion” statutes. All being pushed by the OIC, many Europeans, the Muslim Brotherhood front groups, and Hillary Clinton (Huma Abedin’s assistant).
As I predicted years ago in my last post at my old blog Politics and Religion: “coming soon to a courthouse near you.”
But Obamacare doesn’t denigrate religion. Hmm…
And, by the way, where is the guy , the director of the movie ?
I can’t find news about him.
Is he still detained ?
Barak GULAG Obama…
Maybe in a secret CIA prison.
That’s right! I blame Bush! I get first credit.
What would make my life complete is to someday before I die see progressive leftist live under sharia law. They are all deserving of such an awakening.
so it goes no thought or feeling about an afterlife from the box ,getting closer to robot stuck in a box with pleasure at first then what happens to pleasure?
Wiggy Waxy One. When is your Book of Waxy Waxing on Wiggy Proverbs coming out? The whole world is watching! And waiting…
Do work for the State Department? Too?
Looks like the Kick Me sign has new personality attached to it’s “box”.
Clang!
thanks Lucky
If that is how I sound I’ll stop right now- But there are so many important questions I believe and it seems to me you are mainly concerned with protecting what we have remaining lucky and that sounds impossible without God
“God IS love”. You have no love for us?
I agree that Obama is bad news, however, I hope people realize that we have different choices than Rmoney too. Both Republicans and Democrats have put forth unacceptable candidates for this upcoming presidential election. Neither candidate offers a good choice, as looking at their voting records, on all the policies that matter, they are identical. They only differ in the social wedge issues that really shouldn’t have anything to do with anything in the land of the free, but do tend to whip people into a frenzy. To be free ourselves means we must tolerate the freedom of those we disagree with to also enjoy freedom. I personally think that if a person is not harming anyone else (real harm, NOT hurt feelings), then they should be allowed to do as they will… but both these candidates would restrict more of our freedoms because they are socially disagreeable. There ARE other options, people! If you are sick of the false Red vs Blue dichotomy (an estimated 90million people are going to sit out this presidential selection because they are sick of BOTH parties), then check out these other options! Personally, I favor candidate Jill Stein because her personal policies line up nicely with what I believe, and she is a viable candidate on the ballots of 48 states. Too bad you never hear these candidates talked about on the MSM, which is heavily invested in keeping the status quo. It is time to take back our country! Vote your conscience – NOT the “lesser of two evils” http://www.politics1.com/p2012.htm
You’ll be throwing away your vote as I once did with Ross Perot.
Any vote that does NOT go to Romney is a vote FOR the communists who are trying to destroy America’s economic and military might and who are murdering our Freedom.
Period.
Anyone playing the “innocent” soul today is just a paid agent of the regime.
Period.
If not paid… an absolute moron.
You claim to not like our current administration but are willing to waste your vote on someone who has NO chance to win? There comes a time in everyone’s life that they must choose between unrealistic utopian ideals and face the reality of exactly what is at stake in this election, unless of course, you are just another liberal plant who hopes the current administration stays in power. Make no mistake, it’s not about “leveling the playing field” by our current administration, it is 100% about having 100% power and control over your and my lives.
Alina P:
I understand your argument, and I’ve said much the same thing in the past myself. I have actually voted for third-party candidates on numerous occasions. At one time I was the Secretary of my county Libertarian Party. And I have zero tolerance for the “You’re throwing your vote away” and the “If you don’t vote for Candidate X, then you’re voting for Candidate Y” arguments. Voting for a candidate that you honestly support is not throwing your vote away, and the only way you vote for Candidate Y is by actually voting for Candidate Y.
HOWEVER.
I spent the whole primary season swearing all up and down the internet that I would never vote for Romney under any circumstances. Well, now I’m eating crow. While I have no illusions that he can save the country, I absolutely, positively will vote for him, out of sheer desperation. The thought of another four years of Obama is simply too horrifying to contemplate.
Sometimes I see claims that there is no difference between Obama and Romney. But one was steeped from childhood in Islam, Marxism, and racial resentment. The other wasn’t. That’s a pretty big difference in my book.
Make the movie, and make it a comedy. It’ll be easy, the thing writes itself! Imagine a film far far away….
The lovely and beautiful be-burka’d wife-with-no-name sits down before the camera and excitedly exclaims how wonderful islamic life is, her husband mohammed mohammed suddenly arrives home early from work at the neighborhood RPG recycling plant and she exclaims in abject glee “my husband is home, it’s time for afternoon beatings!” and she eagerly scampers off to a back bedroom where we then hear the heady sounds of domestic violence and resultant female happiness. Little mohammed mohammed junior resumes the interview and happily says that today father will teach him how to beat women, he gets to use a stick on his sister-who-has-no-name and then they will go hunting, if all goes well, they’ll have dog for dinner “just like an ameddican president!” The joy in his young eyes makes us all wistful for the good ol’ days when our fathers taught us the joys of endless mindless violence and Clockwork Orange was inspirational. The camera pans to show the audience an average islamic home, weapons racks, explosives, and a supercool mobile for baby mohammed made of spent shells and infidel fingers. Home sweet IED lab.
The movie ends with islam maturing as a religion and some ultra-hipster artist living on student loans 100% certain s/he will default on dips the entire religion of islam in a vast bucket of pee, and 2 billion muslims cry in joy at the sight of their religion attaining the fullest maturity of BDSM watersports. Christians and muslims can join together in urine-scented anointing, and the Hindus and Bhuddists will wonder if they are gonna get dipped too. Then, a scene with a muslim and a Christian throwing softballs at a target for one of those carnival dunking booths, of, you guessed it, glorious pee! They get dunked, and all the religions of the world finally know pee-ace.
Nice column Roger but I’m afraid that we’re in the end-game phase on this whole thing. One of the chief strategies of radical Islam since the fall of the Shah has been to put ANY discussion of the Islamic faith and it’s believers beyond the pale. The fatwa against Rushide, the Danish cartoon imbroglio, the murder of Theo Van Gogh and now this monumental kerfluffle over an obscure film all seem to be ridiculous and even childish events by themselves. BUT THEY ALL COLLECTIVELY ADVANCE THE AGENDA!
That agenda is to make it impossible to speak of Islam in anything but the most respectful and devout tones, the tones of a true believer. (It is axiomatic that if you can control a big chunk of language then you wield real political power.) Most of our western elites and certainly the elite media have already signed on to this program of self-abegnation. They have convinced themselves that by, in effect, banning any real discussion about Islam’s place in the world that they are promoting some constipated and reductive notion of “world peace.”
The maker of this wacky little is film probably a nut. But hustling him into a police car and putting him in custody (protective or otherwise) sends the message loud and clear that we will knuckle under to the whims of Muslim mobs. It means that anyone who posts a You Tube video or produces a student film critical of Islam will be suppressed. It’s one thing to have one’s views suppressed by a legitimate conqueror. It’s another when our so-called “elites” do it in pursuit of their own political peace of mind.
For all of you who are screaming bloody murder. Stop yelling and go to work, Help Mitt win this election. On election day, bring as many people with you as you can. If this election is not a landslide against Barry and his hooligans we are all doomed.
By the way Roger don’t be so brave. You have to live outside the U.S to really comprehend the mind set of the tyrannical left. What happening to the poor Nakoula Basseley Nakoula is a preview what Barry has in mind for the next four years.
Weak-up America
HEAR; HEAR;
There are plenty of potential voters at the Home Depot and Walmart in the parking lot. Cheap, too.
Loyalty; nnya?
Alternate title: “Stop me before I kill again.” Just to make it easy for the DOJ’s warrant-maker macro.
For four painful years I’ve written on countless blogs tens of thousands of words trying to express in numerous ways that America in 2008 put a Muslim extremist into the White House. And I’ve received my share of criticism, “Rachel’s ranting like a lunatic.”She’s an extremist herself. On the far fringe of political thinking. She speaks for no one but herself.
Well, here’s how I feel. I feel that conservatives nation-wide are going to be coming around to my way of thinking. I feel that Republicans and moderates one day will see the light; view Obama as the liar, traitor and intentional destroyer of our capitalist system and are entire way of life that he is.
The irony is that this thought shift is only beginning. It may not even happen before November 6.
Friends, unfortunately, that likely will be too late. Like Germany was transformed by Hitler. The United States may very well never survive Obama.
Like I said after the Dutch cartoon kerfuffle, anyone with artistic talent needs to rally together to flood the internet with mocking portrayals of Muhammad and Islam. The more the merrier. Remember all the mocking portrayals of Osama. We need to double that for Muhammad. Enough is enough. If these jack-holes want a war then force their hand now before our government is powerful enough to disarm us and keep in servitude.
If any Christian organization ever so much as threw a rock at a government building here in the United States over some illiberal portrayal of their faith, the full weight of government agencies from the local Sherrif to the FBI’s best SWAT unit would be on them faster than anyone could imagine. Their actions would be trumpeted by libs as reflecting all of Christianity and they would demand Churches be shut down.
I saw the movie. I want my 14 minutes back. It made me feel like taking my computer out back and blowing it up. I don’t see anything in it worth killing someone over though.
Yes Roger, I agree, you should make a movie about this. It couldn’t get any worse than what this guy did. If you need inspiration you might try this book
“The Humor of Islam, you’ll die laughing! Az Zaqqum Islamic Scholar for the Infidel.” I thought it was a great book. Here’s a wiki page on it if you’re interested and it’s available through Amazon http://wikiislam.net/wiki/The_Humor_of_Islam.
“on all the policies that matter, they are identical”
So health care, Israel, central banking, defense spending, and entitlements (to name a few) don’t matter?
“I too detest Islam because I happen to abhor misogyny and homophobia, both mainstays of that faith.”
Then you must detest Orthodox Judaism, where women can be divorced at the will of the husband, and gays? The Hebrew Bible decrees death for homosexual acts.
I just watch the Patriots against Cardinals and all the fans were leaving because Believe the Patriots lost with less then a minute to go and the Cardinals had the ball but they fumble the ball . The fans rush back the miracle is Great and all the Patriots must do is kick an easy field goal no team ever misses and they win by 1 point but another miracle happens and the BIRDS win with missed easy field goal.
And this is the problem today. George Bush was a drunk but a miracle happen to him and Jesus save him from being a drunk and he became a true believer. The problem we have today is Mitt Romney did not convert to Mormon but he was brought up a Mormon with all the luxury that came from his family and a secure religion in which he see the up the down and the 4 winds of the Mormon church and it is impossible for him to become a True believer thus he is fake and this explains how he change from left wing to right wing as a business man who believes what business man believe . So we are defending Babylon with the unclean and hated birds and all we should ask from God is 4 more years of Babylon before the great fall.
Islam has the higher ups looking for power but they have the True Believers who must have had miracles from God to fsce great poverty great afflictions and God save some for a reason
I believe True believers will make a big come back in USA as the idols fall in their lives -For now defending the freedoms in Babylon is the beast we can do. Freedom of speech . Freedom of women aborting babies making them on the road to hell and saints who look for a close relationship with God as God calls them to become saints
Then we face 2016. The two things true believers have going for them in the Middle EAst is that they believe the west wants to steal their oil and their land as we see the Jezebel do and the true believers want to throw down their idols now.
You can not face this with fake believers. You must know who you are and what you are defending: freedom and the 200+ years of this and the freedom to come to God in repentance for sins we have here though hard to do with so idols idols
No, troll, you have to look at what people do. Look at how gay people are treated in Israel vs. how they are treated in every other country of the area. But you aren’t interested in what people actually do, just spreading your blood libels.
Better a troll than an a-hole like you, Caestal.
“I don’t want to brag, but as a film professional with an Academy Award nomination in screenwriting….”
And now you can’t even get arrested.
LOL! You support the Green candidate.
All the old has been Communists took over the Green parties after the ‘fall’ of Communism. Do a Lexus-Nexis on it circa 1990, before it became bad form to discuss Communism in any context. I know, “McCarthyism!” I prefer the Andrew version.
I can only conclude you are concern trolling here trying to suppress the Republican vote. Ergo, you are a racist. Have a nice day.
Those last two comments were directed at Alina P. The “racist” bit is just me trying on my Democrat thinking cap.
Amen, Roger! Thank you for saying what needed to be said. It takes more courage than I have — until now at least.
It goes against the American spirit to say negative things about other people’s religions, but when our right to free speech is being trampled, we must push back.
Roger, you are just being lazy. You want to skip the process. You have to become an official federal snitch first, and before that you have to commit a federal felony.

What makes you think you’re so special you can jump to the front of the line? You sound like a Democrat demanding privileges because you are important.
“Hopeless and inept as Nakoula may be as a filmmaker, I agree with the intentions of his movie.”
Did you also agree with his intentions of blaming the film on the Jews?
PS – And this is why Nakoula was taken into custody:
From Slate:
“The feds had said they were investigating Nakoula and whether he had violated the terms of his probation throughout the making or dissemination of the Innocence of Muslims. As part of his probation, Nakoula was forbidden from accessing the Internet without prior approval from his probation officer after he pleaded no contest to federal bank fraud charges in California in 2010, reports the Associated Press. Nakoula was ordered to pay $790,000 in restitution and sentenced to 21 months in federal prison.”
No wonder why he’s a PJM hero!
hmm, Roger, did I somehow miss the news story detailing how Holder and Hillary had called for Nakoula/Bacile to be arrested? If they did, that is un-American of them. If they didn’t, what’s the fuss about? They did, I think, consider whether he had violated the terms of his probation; last I heard, he hadn’t been arrested even for that. If they’re not arresting ‘Bacile’ why should they want to arrest you? Does the Ist Amendment guarantee Bacile’s immunity from criticism? Clearly I’m missing some vital piece of information here….
It is surely a pure coincidence that the LEOs had to review his parole status after what has happened and after the Administration has tried to make him responsible for the crimes committed by the muslims.
A mere coincidence.
P.S.
The old race is coming out from the caves, the Homo Sovieticus is here again…
The probability is that small parole violations are so numerous that they don’t get noticed. Nakoula, however, became notorious and got noticed. Calling him in for questioning did not–in any way–violate his 1st Amendment rights, or any other rights. Selective attention? Maybe, but so what? Btw, do all those here who are so zealous of Nakoula’s rights feel kindly about his lie that Israelis and Jews made the film? Let’s suppose that mobs in, say, Tunis choose to beleive that lie & harm the Jews who still live in that country. What then?
For the Obama administration to claim it is “all about the video”, they seem to be conceding a horrible precedent. That means anyone with a $50 flip cam could film someone crapping on the Quran, post it on YouTube and trigger an international incident, including getting people killed. They are leading us down the path to censorship, there is simply no other way to look at it.
Sorry if this has been posted already, in a hurry. There is another article on how he/they respect all religions, except Catholics/Christians of course.

Hey Roger–
More power to you. I would suggest though that you take the thrust of the Monty Python and Pink Panther movies as a general model. Have Mohammed come off as a bumbling conman a la Inspector Clouseau who has prurient interests toward young girls and camels.
Ridicule. Ridicule. Ridicule.
–just a suggestion.
I keep seeing it alluded to or stated explicitly that the vid in question wasn’t very good. So what? The First Amendment isn’t there to protect only the profound and great it also protects the superficial and vapid for the simple reason that if that weren’t true than someone would have the job deciding between the two; this is worthy of publication, this isn’t. Pray, name that person for me so that I can sleep well tonight knowing that everything… is … being… taken… care… of… by… the… government… for… me… and… I… don’t… have… to… worry… my… silly… little… head… about… the… matter…
If you want to launch this project on Kickstarter, I’ll happily donate to the cause.
I’m pretty certain I’m not alone in that.
I cannot get PJMEDIA to post my comment: Nobody finds it ironic that Morsi (MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD) publicly demands Obama arrest and prosecute this obscure ‘film maker’….and then it happens? Morsi=Muslim Brotherhood….Huma=Muslim Brotherhood….Obama=Muslim Brotherhood? You cannot make this stuff up…
The militant, moonbat mooslims have been attempting to make ‘blasphemy’ against mooslimism a ‘hate crime’ worldwide. Just like Fast and Furious was an assault on our second amendment, this is an assault on our first amendment. Huma is leading Her Thighness Hillary around by her….nose…and the mooslims in our government are ‘helping’ our mooslim president move towards making ‘blasphemy’ a hate crime. President (Mooslim Bruthahood) Morsi publicly demanded for Obama to arrest and prosecute this obscure ‘film maker’ in the name of mooslimism….and we now see where Obama gets his walking papers. Obama obeys the orders of the mooslim moonbat bruthahood over our very own fisrt amendment. You cannot make this stuff up. PJMEDIA would not post this earlier…will they now?
What would Arthur Koestler have to say about Obama?
Just imagine what happens after the release of “ZERO DARK THIRTY”
Hah Hah good luck “O”
Democrats check your collective sixes!
Our president’s administration has bent over, self-righteously condemning Sam Bacile’s film with words chosen perfectly to appease certain Islamic sensibilities while minimizing messy and inconvenient Constitutional freedoms.
We all know the job of President is very difficult but this matter is very simple: As egregious as Sam Bacile’s movie may to some – be it the entire Islamic world, or even many liberal-Americans – the President took an oath to, “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States” to the best of his ability. He did not take an oath to protect the sensibilities of violent fanatics.
Was it beyond President Obama’s ability to stand up to a violent, intimidating, oppressive religion – not for the content of a film which all of us may find offensive – but for Sam Bacile’s rights and so the rights of every American? Whatever the reason, our president failed in the most fundamental and most important part of his job.
President Obama and his administration chose to stand up against one American to appease the apparent hyper-sensitivities of many of those who follow Islam, when he and his administration should be standing up to, and if necessary, against those same followers of Islam to protect the rights of that one American – and thereby the rights and lives of us all.
Regarding our President and his protecting our Constitutional rights, we are all Sam Bacile now.
Anybody and everybody who can make a movie about Mohammed should do so now and depict him any way you want too. Put them all on You Tube. Make them arrest everybody and stop this attack on free speech.
Shona Tova Roger.
Thank you. L’shana tova to all readers of PJ Media of all religions, faiths and, yes, agnostics. Real tolerance, as opposed to phony tolerance, should be the watch word of the day.
Great column.
WE ARE ALL SPARTACUS NOW.
This is the email I got from a newspaper editor I know when I sent her your column: “– We’re going to have to agree to disagree on our president, who I think has done a tremendous job despite everything the GOP could do to impede this country’s progress. This email is malarkey.”
Malarkey. What a trenchant argument. Oh, and it’s all the GOP’s fault for impeding our nation’s progress — into the abyss.
Sent your link to the FBI page. Hope it helps.
L’shona tova, Mr. Simon.
In today’s J. Post: “According to an unreleased Gallup poll given to Buzzfeed, Jewish voters support Obama over rival Mitt Romney at a ratio of 70 to 25, about the same proportion that supported Obama to McCain (69 to 25) at the same point in the 2008 election.” http://www.jpost.com/USPresidentialrace/Article.aspx?id=285336
I just came from a family dinner this weekend. They (all Dems) have convinced themselves that Obama supports Israel, but is ever-so-smart (and secret) in how he does it. My brother busied himself sternly lecturing my daughter on the damage Netanyahu does the US-Israel relationship when the PM implies we “don’t have Israel’s back.” Seriously. They’re on another planet.
Screw all religions. Put me in jail for that.
The movie sounds like a great idea. But instead of just talking about it, make it already.
Obama’s Enemies List ..35% of the population of the US. President of all the people?
2010: Our president. “Last week, in an interview with Univision radio, Obama urged Hispanic votes for Democrats, and said: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of, ‘we’re going to punish our enemies and we’re going to reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s going to be harder.”
Kinda Miss Mel Brooks right about now….love to have seen Blazzing Quarans with Gene Wilder as The Prophet , and Dom Deluise as his crazy brother Ali.
Bravo! I believe we have descended about half way down the Orwellian slope. Will we reach the pit? I hope not. I honestly think you should make your movie. It will shake people up. We need it.
The Muslims of the world continue to amaze me. Protesting, killing, destroying symbols of other faiths — that come short of convincing me that Islam is a religion of peace.
I wonder if Obama recalls the precedent set in the early years of America, when the “shores of Tripoli” was more than a line in a patriotic song sung by Marines. “Millions for defense, but not a penny for tribute” is the slogan I recall from my school days. No wonder today’s Department of Education is having such a tough time on that “no bullies” campaign — this administration doesn’t stop bullying long enough to help anyone not stuffing money in their pockets.
Absolutely one of the best articles I’ve ever read! Very courageous, informative and passionate! Roger Simon is now one of my heroes.
The first time I saw The Book of Mormon was in LA. Thanks Ticketsinventory.com for tickets . It was the most inspiring theatrical moments of my life.
