Destroy History, Dread the Future


By Tabitha Korol

They present themselves as the religion of peace, but they are intolerant, eager to crush truth and the noncompliant. They will force their peace upon you, like it or not. Their methods are usually violence beyond one’s imagination, so that the only ones who achieve complete peace are those who have been killed quickly, not burned, or hanged, crucified, beheaded, made to endure hundreds of lashes, buried waist high and stoned to death, thrown from a cliff, succumbed to infection from acid or barbaric Female Genital Mutilation, having one’s limbs chopped off, or kidnapped for sexual slavery. Add to these  Boko Haram’s cooking or burying people alive,  and realize these have been done to as many as  400 million over 1400 years.

Target: Native Americans:
Terrorists beheadAlthough most of this brutality remains  prevalent in the Middle East and Africa, a new  conquest has appeared on the horizon. In an  interview with Radio Free Europe/Radio  Liberty, Nurat Nazarov, aka Abu Kholidi Kulobi, a jihadist under the (Islamic State), said he will build mosques in Native American territories and “live with them according to the laws of Allah” (Shari’a).

What can we expect to happen with American Indians? We can predict their fate. Through their successful strategy of deceit, Islam will replace one culture with another, and the proud Native American will become a craven servant of Allah. If there is no violence, then Islamic holy war will be waged against their holy sites. As we learned from the Israeli experience, Muslims will create a false narrative to delegitimize the people to their land. Their historic sites will be destroyed, as were the tombs of Biblical Jonah, Daniel, and Joseph, and the numerous layers of Jewish civilization, stillproducing items that bear witness to the Hebrews’ centuries of connection to the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. Natan Sharansky described the excavation as “the largest archaeological catastrophe to mankind.” The Dome of the Rock atop Judaism’s holiest site was built by Caliph Abd al-Malik to commemorate his conquest of the capital and, most importantly, to erase Jewish Mosquehistory.

For the same reason, the Taliban have demolished the thousands-of-years-old Buddha in Afghanistan and mausoleums in Timbuktu, Mali (all UNESCO World heritage sites), tens of thousands of Hindu temples together with tons of artifacts, the loss of a people’s past. Islamic jihadists are also bulldozing and looting Iraq’s world-famous ancient cities of Nimrud and Hatra, with their ancient carved-stone reliefs; Assyrian statues; artifacts in a Mosul museum; and thousands of books and manuscripts in Mosul’s library, to eradicate pre-Islamic civilization. This mindset was also the motive behind the 9/11/01 bombing of the World Trade Centers, to destroy the symbol of American achievement and reverse Islam’s trend of decline since their defeat in the 1001-Inventions-distortionBattle of Vienna, 9/11/1683.

This modus operandi was noted in a traveling Islamic exhibit that claims “1001 Inventions” as Islamic in origin, of which one portion, The Silk Road, was presented at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. In reality, the faith and cultures of the inventors were victims who were forced to convert to Islam; hence, the credit for any invention was purloined by Islam from the rightful people. Over the 14 centuries of Islamic history, Muslims have produced inestimable suffering and bloodshed, while expropriating every creative, innovative, groundbreaking invention of their victims, claiming them as their own.

Re-education: weapon to destroy history
Re-education is a vital weapon in creating a new past to replace the one eradicated. Indoctrinal information that influences the society under attack, primarily its children, is essential in establishing a new regime. Therefore, Muslims will create a faux Muslim identity for the American tribes, as they created false narratives that Jesus (Jewish) was a Palestinian and Moses (Jewish) was the first Muslim liberator, Albert Einstein (Jewish), Stephen Hawking (Atheist) and others of note were converts to Islam. Turkey’s President Erdogan maintains that Christopher Columbus (practicing Catholic of probably Jewishdescent) was preceded in Hispaniola by Muslim explorers, which may be the first step to an Islamic foothold where none existed before.

In addition, our government has implemented the educational system, Common Core, with a staff of teachers compelled to disregard our American heritage and ourConstitution, and replace with whitewashed Islamic history and faith-based studies. This stealth infiltration is supported by Bill Gates, Arne Duncan, et al.; a 45% investment interest by Dubai World/Istithmar World Board of Directors (EMPG) in the publishing companies that provide 52% of American textbooks; and a perplexing, but unswerving, commitment by presidential candidates, Governors Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee and John Kasich.

“Eagle Sun Walker,” who describes himself as a Muslim Cherokee-Blackfoot American Indian, is yet another symptom of Islamic aggression and forced conversion on American soil. As more Muslims enter our country, they may well move closer to Indian Country, and begin to insinuate their beliefs, rules of Islamophobia, and demands on the naïve, obliging populace. With the construction of the first mosque, it may take but one charismatic recruiter to sell his bill of goods to the youth, telling them they will be the vanguard of a new Islamic movement – perhaps even convince them that they are the descendants of “early Muslim settlers.” Islamists have the psychological and financial wherewithal to entice and intimidate new recruits who may not yet have found their life’s direction. I can see nothing in their past that would prepare them for prevailing over the all-consuming deception named Islam.☼

Train of Thought


By Tabitha Korol

Of the many kinds of trains exhibited in Birmingham’s Wonderful World of Trains and Planes, in Birmingham, England, the only display in dispute was the model train set of Auschwitz, noted the Daily Mail. The photos included in the column certainly verify that the set was painstakingly designed to provide authenticity, was sufficiently informative, and respectfully and tastefully executed. Although I have visited Auschwitz, I have seen an authentic and replicas of boxcars in other museums, not to mention in newsreels, so I was dismayed to learn that only this one was considered objectionable.

One such objection came from a Holocaust survivor and while my heart goes out to him, this was an important teaching moment that would not be obtained in a classroom or home environment, and must not be obliterated from collective memory. It is not the presentation, but the Holocaust itself that is offensive. The mass murder of millions of innocent men, women, and children is inconceivably offensive. The obliteration of human beings by fascists – and now by Islamo-fascists – is severely offensive. And last year, I was privileged to edit a book of Holocaust survivors’ memoirs that were immensely offensive, but surely not to be dismissed or disregarded.

The visitors from Birmingham and environs elected not to stay at home in front of the telly, or go to the park, or attend a sporting event. Rather, they chose to visit a museum, to expand their horizons, to see and learn something new. So, while I respect the wishes and painful memories of the dissenting gentleman and the parents who prefer to keep their children ignorant of this part of human history, this may well have been the last thing ever seen by about one-and-a-half-million children during World War II, and I believe there is much to be gained by viewing the display.

Taking this a step further, if the exhibit were of sailing vessels, I would expect to see crafts of all kinds – those that carried goods and those that carried human cargo, those designed for peacetime and those designed for wartime:

  • The dhow, the traditional sailing and trading vessel, c. 600 BC – 600 AD, invented by Chinese, Arabs or Indians;
  • The vessels of the Polynesians, who were the finest navigators of the time;
  • Ships of the explorers, Vikings, Vasco de Gama, Marco Polo, and Christopher Columbus;
  • Muslim slave ships that brought Africans to Europe and America;
  • The Barbary pirate ships, the menace that attacked ports, captured people for slavery, and plundered merchant ships.
  • The American Navy ships dispatched by President Thomas Jefferson to battle the Barbary pirates;
  • The Mississippi River boats and barges that transported slaves through the States;
  • The MS St. Louis, the German ocean liner noted for its 1939 voyage in which her captain, Gustav Schroder, tried to find homes for 915 Jewish refugees who were denied entry to Cuba, the US, and Canada;
  • The First Class, “unsinkable” Titanic luxury liner.
  • Samples of warships, trading vessels, aircraft carriers and submarines, and any other ships noteworthy through our human history.

There will always be those who find something offensive somewhere, particularly when it comes to the Holocaust and persons who would deny its very occurrence. Nevertheless, the purpose of a museum exhibit is to teach, to engage the mind. The exhibit has accomplished its mission admirably. I commend the curator and all the museum’s participants for their vision, their talents, and their courage.

The Moderate Vanguard


By Tabitha Korol

Just when everyone’s attention has been directed toward ISIS and some of the most despicable crimes ever committed, and our government is loathe to war with our planet’s unequalled brutality, Jordan’s King Abdullah assumed the role of world leader. Such activity continues to distract us so that we ignore the evils unfolding within our own country – the war of the Moderates who exploit children in incalculable ways.    

ISIS and Boko Haram, who hope to establish a shared Muslim empire, have lured thousands of American and European children to join their jihad against Western civilization. The UK mirror reported that, within a single two-week period alone, the Islamic State kidnapped about 3,000 Yazidi women and children, and Boko Haram kidnaps young girls by the hundreds from private schools for sexual slavery. European teenage boys are persuaded to join ISIS with cash offers, rap videos, and tales of adventure. Young women are enticed by adventure and romance, only to be forced to live in the nude as sex slaves, beaten, shared among friends, and raped to bear the next generation of jihadists. The International Labour Organization estimates 1.2 million children are trafficked for exploitation each year.

Chechen Muslims, with their violent history, were responsible for the 2004 Beslan school hostage crisis, when they captured 1,200 people (including 777 children), terrorized and raped the hostages. The death toll was 331, including 186 children. Palestinian Muslims have bombed Israeli school buses and built terror tunnels that led to children’s dormitories and classrooms.

In America, boys and young men are brainwashed in mosques to join ISIS’s fight for Allah. Schools, such as the Universities of California, have become a hotbed of anti-Semitism not seen since the 1930s. Given a diet of Islamic propaganda in textbooks and videos, the public schools are now “encouraging” and praising Allah (which leads to wearing complete burqas and forced conversion).

Girls are not born with a sense of modesty. They are taught to feel unsuitable and subservient, whether through their schooling or the Islamic home environment, where the man dominates in a loveless marriage. From this environment, the young women will readily accept the burqa and its quality of escape and invisibility. Encumbered by these portable tents, they will also be prohibited from the joys of being American, from all forms of sports and social activities (even friendship between women), and they will learn to accept their captivity. Following these forms of conditioning, or being forced to lie (taqiyyah), they will assert their right to the restrictive dress code.

There is yet another consequence of burqas. In Islam, the idea of modesty is warped into becoming the woman’s shame of her womanhood, which undermines her security and self-respect. This results in an increase in female genital mutilation, and facial disfigurement by acid (already noted in our local upscale shopping mall when a young woman’s face covering slipped). Those who do not wear burqas will be at risk of being raped; the risk in Islamized Sweden and Denmark has reached epidemic proportions, comparable to Islamic countries. The more subjugated the women, the higher the overall crime rate in a tyrannical regime. When news reporters state that we have to defeat the Islamic ideology to win against ISIS, be reminded that we must also defeat the ideology’s permeation into our own lives.

Of the 1.3 billion Muslims in the world, it is estimated that up to 25% may be violent extremists, with the majority of Muslims in most Islamic countries favoring Shari’a law. Within the populace are the traumatized, fearful and irrelevant women, as well as the mentally challenged, both invariably disposable and “volunteered” for suicide mission. Another group, a courageous handful who speak out against parts of the Koran and for Islamic reform, has undertaken a daunting and dangerous mission.

And finally we have the Moderates, the comparatively discreet in Western society, who go about their daily lives inconspicuously, never speaking out against terrorism, all the while effecting changes in our land in gradual increments. They are the non-violent who nevertheless seek to establish a tyrannical regime here, in America. While citizens are battling the ACLU’s attempt to allow Muslim laws in Oklahoma, a Shari’a court has been established in Texas.   New school textbooks are crammed with indoctrinal material about Islam, with little about America and the other major religions, leaving parents in Massachusetts and Florida furious about the deceitful programs inflicted on their children. It is the Moderates who surreptitiously prepare proselytizing films and school excursions to mosques without prior parental notification, all changes that are meant to create a new generation of devotees and jihadists. Only recently, Florida parents exposed to the media the textbooks that contain several chapters on whitewashed Islam, with 100 pages of Judaism and Christianity missing.

Moderates are also the college students who, now brazen and empowered by a quiescent, ignorant, leftist administration, defend terrorist organizations, vilify Israel and call for her annihilation, and unite to attack Jewish students. Encouraged to invite outside speakers from terrorist groups (Hamas, the Muslim Brotherhood), the Muslim Student Union (MSU) and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) work together to impose their ideology and establish Shari’a laws and restrictions on their host population. Their leader, Azka Fayyaz, is now openly promoting violence and Israel’s destruction. A dedicated anti-Semite, she announced that Hamas and Shari’a have taken over the University of California, and is no doubt responsible for recent Nazi-style graffiti at a Jewish fraternity and Hillel House.

The families that allege to have come to the West in order to escape tyranny reared and nurtured their children in their home culture of intolerance and harshness. These Moderates are fast becoming the jihadists of tomorrow, eager to replace our way of life with theirs. They are the new devotees who celebrate the Islamic Eid with animals that are ruthlessly tortured and slaughtered for sacrifice, and demand particular accommodations from the public schools. They are the bystanders who cheer while non-moderates behead, torch, or throw their fellow human beings off cliffs. They are the ones who happily extend their hands to receive candy distributed on the occasion of a suicide bombing by one of their own. They are the parents of young women who leave home to join a Palestinian cause and become comfort women to Islamo-fascist barbarians, and are ultimately killed. They are the Moderates who believe that every punishment meted out in the 7th century Qur’an is acceptable today, against homosexuals, women, apostates, infidels, and more

These are the Moderates who are working to influence and change our children. Their clothes may remain unsplattered, but we may be certain that their hands are soaked in blood.

A Rutten Experience


By Tabitha Korol

100 TK image002

January 29, 2015, was Hijab Day at NP3 High School, in Sacramento, California.  One student who is interning for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) gave a presentation on Islamophobia and in no time at all, the befuddled faculty, staff and students were “encouraged” by principal, Tom Rutten, to wear a hijab – a veil that covers the woman’s head and chest.

What began as the seventh century Bedouin woman’s attempt at privacy and protection from the desert has become a veil symbolic of a woman’s indignity and servitude.  As Nonie Darwish so aptly explained in her book, Cruel and Usual Punishment, women have come to represent the totality of evil and inferiority in Islamic teaching.

Considered lacking in intelligence and religion, women are seen as half the worth of men in a Shari’a court; in the case of rape, her accusation has no worth without four witnesses.  Women may be raped for wearing “indecent” clothing, and beaten by their husbands for leaving the house unaccompanied by a male relative.  If her behavior further irritates, he may imprison her without food and clothing, and arrange for stoning until dead.  In this despotic society, women bear the honor of the male, so that girls and women may be killed by a father who fears his esteem has been sullied.

The hijabs and burqas serve the purpose of enforcing women to obey Shari’a and submit to men.  Furthermore, they are obligated to defend this life of bondage or else risk their own destruction at the hand of their families.  It is because of such constant fear, that many women are defensive when challenged by non-Muslims.  Some may even try to earn honor and respect by joining the radicals for violent jihad (holy war against the infidel).

100 TK burqas

To cultures that enjoy freedom, these concealed women should be regarded  victims of sadism, forced to endure the insufferable heat of the subtropics under layers of clothing, and prevented from enjoying the summer sun and cool breezes. In fact, medical experts have noted that these covered women in northern climes, with less sunshine, are suffering disproportionately from osteoporosis due to the lack of Vitamin D, and experiencing an increased risk of pelvic fracture during childbirth. Their newborns are more prone to suffering  seizures from the same deficiency.

Islamic law is concerned more with raping, beating, flogging, and stoning women than with honoring them.  Shari’a law demands that women be covered from head to toe as a way of solving the male’s sexual temptations. Rather than teach the males self-restraint and respect, the woman shoulders the responsibility of hiding herself.  Tragically, because some women want to appear obedient to their god and men, other women bear the burden of ridicule and targets of fatwas (legal opinions that often lead to threats of death).

Tom Rutten, the principal, and Scott Dosick, president of the Board of Trustees of the Natomas Unified School District, appear to be gullible and ill-informed.   Whether somehow compelled or naively eager to please, they have, albeit temporarily, aligned the school to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood – both recognized as terrorist groups by the United States government.   The usual claims are trumpeted, that this is to promote a deeper understanding between different faiths, but the interchange will predictably be in one direction only.  The Muslims will not be required to don a Jewish kippah or a Catholic Sister’s habit, neither would they consider doing so this side of Paradise.

Rather than guide the new immigrants in becoming Americans, as previous ethnic groups have done, the school has accepted the customs from those who refuse to assimilate.  When an intruder or invader makes demands (no matter how subtle) that are met with compliance and submission from the host, it is conquest, not assimilation.  I am concerned about how the school will handle future requests, such as visiting the local mosque, installing footbaths in the restrooms, removing foods from the cafeteria that Muslims find offensive and demanding for halal foods, removing animal pictures they consider distasteful, removing Israel from a map, eliminating all historic information about the Ancient Israelites, and allowing a room and time for Muslim prayer..  These are among the many incremental adjustments to result in a gradual change of America as we know it.

The student,  a representative  of CAIR, whose motto is, “We are not here to be equal to other religions; we are here to dominate, we are here to dominate,” also conducted a discussion on Islamophobia, a term used to curb our freedom of speech by teaching non-Muslims to refrain from language they find offensive, including the violent history of Mohammed and Islam, the brutality of Sharia law, the truths about the treatment of women and sexual slavery,  the 1400 years of Islamic savagery perpetrated by Muslims against all others, jihad and terrorism, studying democracy, and learning about Israel.   By curbing our children’s free speech, behaviors, and dress choices, they are destroying our own cultural thoughts and behaviors, producing submissive adults.  They have eliminated from the history books all Islamic violence, and the history and founding of America, including the Constitution and Bill of Rights.  As our freedoms of thought and discussion are eroded, so are our cultural enthusiasm and growth.  They are working to transform Americans into their image – one of a backward, destructive desert people.

CAIR has “engaged in more than 100 political influence operations on behalf of foreign principals in the United States.”  I am deeply concerned that the school authorities knew that the student was an intern for the Hamas-linked terror organization, CAIR, the worldwide organization that is linked to the Muslim Brotherhood, supports terrorism, and seeks to implement Sharia-based governance globally.  I am concerned that they could not or would not protect themselves and their students from the stealth cultural onslaught.

Therefore, in all fairness and in the interest of equality and mutual understanding, I ask Mr. Rutten and Mr. Dosick to please inform me when they will schedule the next days of honor for other religions, and precisely how they’ll equalize the programs.   In that way, all the students may learn to appreciated each other and grow to be proud Americans with their rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness intact, each in his/her own way.

Bias at the BBC


By Tabitha Korol

imagesMT92PU5K

When interviewing a Jewish woman at the unity march in Paris, BBC Reporter Tim Willcox had the temerity to admonish her, “Many critics of Israel’s policy would suggest that the Palestinians suffer hugely at Jewish hands as well.” This was a woman who herself might have been murdered in that very supermarket earlier that day. Clearly, this man lacks sensitivity and benevolence, and could never have visited Israel. He evidently attended the march not as a reporter of events, but as one whose ideology was to challenge its purpose where Jews were concerned.

The march was called and attended by more than 40 world leaders because Muslim terrorists killed 17 people – 13 for what they did (publish a satirical newspaper) and four for what they were, Jewish; Willcox attempted to justify the murder of the latter. His later retraction of the comment and explanation did not evidence an understanding of the Middle East with respect to Islam’s 1400-year history of carnage in the name of their god, conducted with the intent to establish a worldwide Caliphate and Sharia law. The Jews have always stood against tyranny and inequality, from the Biblical days of Pharoah to the present. Where Israeli law specifies liberty and equality for all, Islamic law specifies subjugation and inequality. Willcox, who has drifted into bigotry before, doesn’t get it, or doesn’t care to.

Even now, when Africa is afire with burning churches and villages and the streets are strewn with thousands of dead Christians, Willcox cannot focus on the offenders. European cities are being flooded with armed forces in search of jihadi cells that are priming to kill, but Willcox’s only conclusion is that Jews are the cause. Apparently, if not for the Jews who live quietly from day to day, and work and contribute to their country’s welfare, Europe would be safer. Similarly, if not for Israel, where Jews have become among the most innovative on the planet to create new products and discover cures for mankind’s diseases, the Middle East would be calmer. Indeed, if not for the Jews who are morally and legally entitled to their one one-thousandth of the magnitude of land controlled by Islam, there would be Utopia on earth. And by the same perverse logic, if not for the Jews, Islam would be a religion of peace… Well, except that then, less distracted, the Muslims could turn their full demonic attention on the rest of the ‘infidels” of the world.

Is Willcox aware that Muslims have killed about 400 million people over 14 centuries, and the number increases daily? One arm of Islam alone, Boko Haram, only recently razed the village of Baga, Nigeria, slaughtering 2,000 people. They massacred more than 10,000 people just last year, in 2014, displaced about a million within Nigeria, while hundreds of thousands fled to neighboring countries, Chad and Camaroon. This is Islam, and this is the same Islam that wages war against Israel and preys upon the West.

The problem lies not with the Jews but with a culture that seeks to dominate and impose Sharia law in every nation in the world. It lies with the countries, such as France, England, Germany, and Sweden, that made multiculturalism their nationality; whose political leaders welcomed immigrants who could never qualify for citizenship, and had no intention of assimilating, embracing their new land, learning the host language or customs, Rather, these immigrants brought their heritage and culture with them in conquest, and were permitted to alter our textbooks and classrooms, our laws and, hence, the lives of the native populations.

The problem also lies with French President Francois Hollande who hosted an anti-terrorism march while inviting known terrorist par excellence, Mahmoud Abbas, whose credentials include bankrolling the infamous Munich Massacre, instigating Palestinian terrorism and martyrdom, and the custom of celebrating Jewish deaths by providing new homes for the martyr’s parents and distributing sweets to the townsfolk. In fact, only one day after Abbas participated in the anti-terror march, his Fatah party memorialized one of the worst Palestinian terror attacks in Israel’s history, the 1978 Coastal Road Massacre, when terrorists attacked a bus, brutally murdering 37 Israeli citizens and wounding more than 70.

To Willcox, these crimes are defensible because he mistakenly believes that an invented people (the Palestinians that never existed before 1967) decreed land for themselves, and it suits his predisposition to siding with known extremists rather than what he would term, under any circumstances, the Jewish Lobby. His position clearly is to damn all the Jews for the acts of the Israeli government under circumstances that he cannot or will not understand.

It has been suggested that the BBC adopt a definition of anti-Semitism into its editorial guidelines, so that their journalists may grasp that their insensitive, unsympathetic statements and reporting may be very destructive and may incite more readers to join the jihadi mentality. The time has come for the BBC and its staff to be held accountable for their biased reporting that is strengthening the growing onslaught of Islam against the Jews. They also need to understand that once the Jews are silenced, full attention will then be turned upon the Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and, oh yes, upon the free Western Press.

What then, Tim Willcox? What then?

Guardian . . . of what?


By Tabitha Korol

The Guardian, supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, does for the reading public what Common Core books, also supported by the Gateses, do for American students – it provides a wealth of misinformation with an agenda.  In its Global Development section, writer Liz Ford wrote of the role of girls and women under Islam, specifically Palestinians, and the violence to which they are subjected in their society.

Because her itemization was inaccurate and lacking references, I can provide some specifics about their driving force:

  • Koran 4:34 Allah has made men superior to women and, therefore, women must be obedient or be admonished and beaten.
  • M10-12 If the wife is rebellious, the man may warn her, follow with hitting, and beating but not breaking her bones or damaging her face.  He may even imprison her in a room and withhold food and clothing.
  • M10:4 A man may forbid his wife to leave the home.
  • 022:1 Women may never become judges (they are not equal)
  • L10:3 A woman’s value is half that of a man, because her “mind is deficient.”  A woman should receive half the money of a man in an indemnity case, because women lack in intelligence and religion.
  • 2:282 Her testimony is worth half the man’s.
  • Bukhari 7,722,229  Deals with female genital mutilation and is compulsory.  The term “circumcision” deceptively applies to both men and women, but what they do to women is indeed severe mutilation.
  • 6 Extra-marital relations are forbidden, and the penalty for women is stoning to death; it is also recommended in “honor” killings.  Men are held blameless.
  • Bukhari 7,62.18  It is lawful to take a child bride.  Mohammed was 51 when he proposed to six-year-old Aisha.  Recently it was announced that a man may marry an infant who is still being breastfed.

The Palestinian National Authority Ministry of Women’s Affairs (MoWA) is acknowledging its gender issues in order to work toward developing a Palestinian state. According to a report published by the Palestinian Authority in 2011, culture and tradition were often the main justifications for violence against women in “Palestine.”  Each of the reasons for humiliation and cruelty towards women is included in the Koran, some of which are noted above.

Despite the report’s admission that specified Islamic culture and tradition as the cause of abuse toward women, the Guardian’s writer, Liz Ford, has chosen to blame Israel – the only country in the Middle East where all its citizens live in freedom and with equal rights.  She has also called Israel an “occupier,” when, in fact, the territory is “disputed.”  The territory has been Judea and Samaria for thousands of years, and Jordan annexed the area for a mere nineteen years (1948 – 1967) after the aggressive war against the new Jewish State.  Thus, Ford’s information was incorrect, misleading and inflammatory.  The mistreatment of women by Arabs and Muslims began at least 14 centuries earlier.  Note, too, that if we delve into the times of Jews in restricted areas (ghettos),  in the Middle East, Spain, Italy and Eastern Europe, a loving Jewish family life is what kept them stronger under duress.

Another study in the same report, conducted by UN Women in 2009, blamed the men’s violence against women on the stress they felt after Israel’s military strikes on Gaza in December, 2008.  With that reasoning, Jewish men who suffered post-traumatic stress syndrome from the preponderance of Palestinian rocket fire on Israel or sudden attacks on the street should have been equally violent, but there are no reports of comparable familial abuse in Israel.

Through World Wars I and II, we heard of no abuse between husbands and wives who were fleeing for their lives from the impending horrors.  If anything, families were protective and more caring of each other.  And, despite the constant conditions of war from neighboring Islamic states, Israelis were rated among the happiest people in the world – not stressed from spousal abuse.  In fact, it is highly unlikely that Israel’s medical, technological, and other creative innovations and advancements could have been made by abused, unhappy, depressed individuals.

Are we to believe that Palestinian men have no self-control following military strikes on Gaza?  By now, we have learned that Palestinian men have no self-control, period.  In several previous articles, I have reported how the children are taught to hate and abuse animals, practice with weapons and hope to be shaheeds (martyrs), continue their training to behead live animals and captured humans, and increase their propensity for violence with staged “days of rage.”  They cover their faces uniformly, hiding human expression, thereby hindering camaraderie and bonding, and developing an insensitivity to others. They celebrate death with distributed sweets when a son is killed while murdering Jews.  Men gather in plazas to relish stoning someone’s wife to death.  They have been robbed of all kindness and there is nothing left for even their own family members.  Clearly, Islamic Sharia law, destroying freedoms and the sanctioning of hate, victimization, abuse, and killing, leads to dehumanization, pain, contempt, and despair.

Another Guardian writer, Angela Robson, blamed the blockade for her husband’s job loss and consequential beastly behavior.  Ohio was fifth in the U.S. for job losses (more than 303,000) attributed to the non-oil trade deficit in 2007.  Michigan lost 319,200 jobs, 7.5 percent of total employment lost.  California ranked first in terms of actual job losses, 696,000.  The Economic Policy Institute reported four million jobs lost nationally in the U.S. in 2007, 70 percent of the displaced jobs in the manufacturing sector.  America had no comparable increase in spousal abuse.

The Guardian has been repeatedly responsible for “news reports” that are nonsensical, but insulting and destructive, propaganda that appeals to the ignorant.  It makes one wonder how they can benefit from lying about a democracy while supporting a tyrannical regime.  Is the Guardian welcoming the Islamic takeover in the UK?  Does it welcome an ever-growing welfare role of immigrants who will never assimilate, but who will amplify violence on the streets of England’s fair cities, and ultimately impose Sharia laws on the land?  The average citizen is alleged to be apolitical and unaffected.  It makes one wonder just how many people in Merrie Olde England have lost sight of any lessons from WW II and are choosing to slumber again.

James Madison, of English descent, wisely said, “The advancement and diffusion of knowledge is the only guardian of true liberty.”

Adding Israel and her name to a map, which can then be defaced by the “offended” students, will not bring enlightenment to a world that is plummeting into darkness.


A Name on the Map

By Tabitha Korol  January 8, 2015  Canada Free Press

Collins Bartholomew, the map-publishing company of world-leading publishers, Harper Collins, removed Israel from its Geography Atlas to accommodate “local preferences.” In other words, in the interest of selling maps to an enemy that hopes to also wipe America off the map, the company was willing to erase Israel, as well as dispense with scruples, integrity, conscience, ethics, and credibility. Let’s take this a step further.

I understand that Muslims cannot abide truth; thus they invented the accusation of Islamophobia—to squelch all things that reveal their essence. Islam is at war with the world and reality, and has been since the seventh century. Their culture is a dedication to war and conquest, so that even their people may not grow and prosper. From the moment their children are born, they are robbed of the human spirit—freedom, creativity, imagination—and are twisted into becoming hardhearted “weapons of mass destruction” against their perceived enemies. In the name of their god, they attempt to erase the past by destroying ancient artifacts, refute history to support their own supersessionist narrative, and call “offensive” all actions that lay bare their true nature, barbarism.

Above all, Islam teaches hatred of Jews, not to mention Christians, Buddhists, Hindus, Zoroastrians, idol worshipers and animists. But above all, it is the Jews, because Mohammed could not convert the Jews in Mecca, so he beheadedall the Jewish men. Yet, Muslims are still tied to Judaism through Abraham—and perhaps resent it. Muslims also need the Jews to blame for their failures and adversities, and while they also claim Jewish successes and world contributions for their own, it has been said that they also feel the shame of having to do so. Why else would there be a traveling world exhibition called “101 Inventions,” for which they claim scholarship and ingenuity, but whose originality may be traced to Jews and other captives forcibly converted to Islam? Why else would they begin claiming Moses, Jesus, Christopher Columbus, and Albert Einstein as Palestinian or Muslim, even if there were no Palestinians or Muslims during the times of Moses and Jesus?

Each defeat in wars begun by the Muslims against the Jews was yet another intolerable humiliation, particularly when five Muslim armies (Egypt, Lebanon, Transjordan, Syria, and Iraq) attacked, but were bested by, what they thought would be a defenseless, fledgling, ragtag army of starved, beaten Jewish survivors from Europe. Failing in conventional warfare, they began a psychological war with the help of the uninformed, the envious, the angry, and those who are eternally predisposed to hate for their own reasons. This war includes the influential propaganda that Jewish achievements have actually been at the expense of others and that Jews are therefore the cause of every earthly ill.

Suits the Muslims to keep their brethren in a constant refugee status in Gaza and the West Bank in order to garner world sympathy (and cash).

Islamists have discovered that what they, themselves, do may readily be blamed on the Jews. Muslims have actually broadcast their plan to create an all-encompassing world Caliphate, but peddle the idea that it is the Jews who rule the world. It suits the Muslims to keep their brethren in a constant refugee status in Gaza and the West Bank in order to garner world sympathy (and cash) and to lay claim to territory illegally occupied by Jordan and Egypt, although the land is both legally and historically Jewish. Through the centuries, Muslims were never interested in working what was then a desolate wasteland, but now insist that flourishing Israel is theirs.In the surrounding Muslim lands, the majority continues to live in age-old poverty and ignorance under tyrannical regimes; this too is blamed on Israel. If the rainfall is inadequate and unequally distributed through the year in this sub-tropical zone, Israel is liable for not supplying water. If their women and children die as a result of being placed among jihadist rocket launchers, Israel is impugned.

They accuse Israel of Palestinian genocide, when, in fact, the Palestinian population has dramatically increased, doubling in size with each new generation; and of apartheid, when the reality is that Muslims have banned Jews from Islamic countries.The war is also against pluralism, individual rights and freedoms, liberal democracy, and Western ideas of progress, and this has become a collective Islamic obsession. Yet the horrific crimes that Muslims commit against their fellow Muslims and Christians are swept under the prayer rug, hidden by the media and not addressed by world leaders. If the Jews cannot be incriminated for these crimes, then the mere mention of kidnappings, beheadings, honor killings, rape and assorted acts of cruelty are forbidden topics.And this is where our schools and teaching materials fail us. Except for a perfunctory early timeline on which one might find a designation for Ancient Israelites along with Assyrians, Babylonians and other defunct civilizations, world history studies begin with Ancient Rome and Greece, although the Jews have substantially contributed to human development. The framers of our US Constitution derived their morals, ethics and standards of behavior from Cicero and English Common Law, which drew from biblical law given to the Hebrews by God.

Exodus reveals that the Hebrews had a representative form of republican government, not unlike the system created in the Constitution. And while appropriate credit is given other countries, Israel’s contributions in medicine, science and technology to society at large has been overlooked, as is her eternal capital, Jerusalem, which is referenced 823 times in the Hebrew Bible, 161 times in the Christian Bible, and never in the Qur’an.Many history textbooks devote a disproportionate number of chapters to Islam. Jerusalem is cited as the city where Mohammed ascended to heaven on a winged horse, but rarely as Israel’s capital. Mohammed has been praised for “impressive leadership skills” but not for his methods of rapine, brutality, and slaughter. There is never mention of Islam’s butchery of 80 million Hindus in India, their skulls piled to mountainous dimensions and their cities burned to the ground; of the all-but-complete annihilation of Iran’s Zoroastrians; or of the trickery used to enslave Iran’s Sogdiana, take healthy men to replenish their Arab army, and annihilate the masses. Neither is there word about Muslims’ killing perhaps as many as 400 million “infidels” over 14 centuries.

If today’s publishers have made a small correction on a map or two when it was called to their attention, is that sufficient? Have they reviewed all their products (textbooks and maps) for accuracy? No. Absolutely not—not until they are called to task by parents and school boards, and not until the books and maps are thoroughly reviewed by trusted people, rewritten, and distributed anew. It takes the indoctrination of only one generation to completely change the nature of our country. Adding Israel and her name to a map, which can then be defaced by the “offended” students, will not alone bring enlightenment to a world that is plummeting into darkness.Tabitha Korol, who began her political writing with letters to the editor after her retirement, earned an award from CAMERA (Committee on Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America) “in recognition of outstanding letter-writing in 2009 to promote fair and factual reporting about Israel.” She was cited as one of America’s modern-day, articulate, patriotic women in Frederick William Dame’s Three American Fur Hat Fighters for Freedom.

A Pack of Wolves


By Tabitha Korol, December 21, 2014

Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron responded to the terrorist attack in Sydney, Australia, in which two of more than 17 hostages were killed by an Islamic extremist. Referring to “lone wolf terrorists,” he said this was a reminder of danger that Britain faces.  It would seem to me that we have had enough Lone Wolves to constitute a substantial wolf pack, and enough “extremists” to consider them “conventional.”  How many people must die before heads of state concede that the crimes worldwide are not extreme, not unusual, and not lone wolf?  This is Islamic-style warfare against the West, without the sophisticated weaponry, khaki uniforms or tanks.  It is time to connect the voluminous dots between the burnings and beheadings in 624 AD and those executed today.

We so naively call them self-starters or lone wolves when, daily, thousands of individuals are inspired and encouraged by an imam in a mosque to be a Soldier of Allah, eagerly awaiting his turn to immerse himself in the blood of infidels.  Perhaps the designation helps the West cope with the 1.3 billion Muslims who have unleashed their millions into the world.  Perhaps the singular terminology keeps the West from considering war against the multitudes, or courageously declaring the Qur’an and Sharia antithetical to Western beliefs, or fear of inciting the so-called moderates to reach their full barbarous potential.

image005

Must someone remind PM Cameron of the infamous 7/7 bombing of 2005 in London’s underground, or the new converts to Islam who beheaded British soldier, Lee Rigby, on a London Street?  Consider America’s Major Nidal Hasan, the psychiatrist who killed 13 and wounded 28 at Fort Hood, Texas; the Tsarnaev brothers, who killed two and injured more than 260 athletes and spectators at the Boston Marathon; the Itamar massacre of five members of Israel’s Fogel family and the more recent beheading of four rabbis and a policeman during religious services.
It is time to come to terms with the truth – that self-radicalization is a myth to befuddle the reality of the demonic cult, where the lone wolf is not alone but, rather, a product of Islam, trained from birth or conversion to hate and kill.  The West has chosen to disbelieve the incomprehensible because this is an army unlike any we have fought, with different rules, and different means of carrying out their depraved agenda of enslavement, torture, and destruction.  Not clad in khaki uniforms, these demons may be disguised as normal humans in street clothes, prepared to strike with the simplest and smallest of weapons – a knife or a vial of acid.
While the situation is deteriorating rapidly, the West is turning out students who are ignorant of Islam.  Taught by the left, liberals, Marxists, and Islamic apologists, from revised textbooks, our students are indoctrinated to believe that Islam is Religion of Peace, when in fact it has been a religion of conquest and cruelty for 14 centuries.  The history books paint and polish Islam while tarnishing Judaism, Christianity and America, omitting or changing facts that might expose the malevolence in our midst.  Our media aids and abets these efforts with the accusatory “Islamophobia” to keep the crimes under reported or swept under the rug.  Ask the average college students about Islam’s history and they will probably respond with a dead stare followed by an uncomfortable giggle at their own ignorance.

No, the murderers are not lone wolves.  Whether they come as one or as nineteen, they are still part of a larger pack, each with his duty, just as we send our tanks to the front, each with its own driver and gunner, but part of a greater army.  Whether the Muslims rush a synagogue to behead people in prayer; or behead hundreds who refuse to pray to Allah; or throw acid at little girls in Israel; or beat Jewish youths on the streets of Paris or Brooklyn; or explode themselves or ram an auto into a crowd of people, or kidnap girls for sale or marriage/enslavement, or rape women on the streets of Sweden and Norway; or burn or stone women, or behead their own daughters for “honor,” they are One.  Whether they are ISIS, Hamas, Hezbollah, Boko Haram, Taliban or any of a formidable number of terrorist groups, they are all Islamic terrorists.

Each new generation is taught from toddlerhood to hate and aspire to Islamic greatness by killing kafirs – Jews, as well as Christians, Hindus, Buddhists and other Muslims.

  • Parents are eagerly raising their babies to be suicide bombers for Hamas,
  • From their earliest school days, children learn that life has no value; they must kill for their god and state, and accept their own death and martyrdom while parents encourage and applaud the loss of their children’s humanity.  There is no hope for a life of beauty, music, creativity and career, of courtship and love-marriage, the joy of caring for a devoted pet, and discoveries of Western civilization.  They are robbed of everything we value.  Young kindergarteners are trained to behead dolls and toy sheep that bleed red liquid, and their song includes the bleating of the wounded, dying lamb.
  • As the older child is taught to kill and hold a victim’s severed head, he poses for a photo taken by his proud father.
  • Young adults, no longer queasy about death, are able to play soccer with decapitated heads.
  • By the time they reach adulthood, they have no respect for women, children, or for animals.  These deranged sadists (who receive sexual satisfaction from causing pain or degradation to others) are able to inflict agony and suffering on defenseless animals throughout the year and celebrate Eid by torturing lifestock (the worst animal cruelty in history is in Gaza), allowing them to bleat and bleed out until they lose consciousness and finally die. Muslims consider the torment, fear and excruciating agony to be Halal.
  • Finally, despite the singularity perceived by some, there is organization, the inevitable group mentality. For example, although not a single Muslim had seen the “blasphemous cartoons” in 2005, demonstrators went to the streets, set buildings afire, injured and even killed people throughout Europe.  Not taught to examine facts, they take their leaders’ opinions and follow the pack.

image006

A recent survey showed that 80% of Palestinians support murder.  I would propose that the remaining 20% are, as Marco Polo is alleged to have said, “the moderate Muslim(s) who hold the feet of the victim.”  Where there are Muslims, there is violence with the expressed objective that Islam will rule the world, with Sharia law imposed over the host country’s laws.  If it cannot be done peacefully, they will do so sadistically. They are raised in a teamwork environment, faces covered for guilt-free anonymity.  The reality is that all these terrorists are indoctrinated from childhood to sacrifice their individuality for an organization, and are probably psychologically incapable of acting as lone wolves.

Locked in a Cycle of Moral Equivalency.


By Tabitha Korol

Re: “Horror in Israel,” November 18, 2014

The New York Times maintains that “two communities appeared increasingly locked in a cycle of hatred and hopelessness.”  The cycle is driven by Palestinians, descendants of 1400 years of Muslim jihadists who raped, looted, enslaved and killed; Tamarlane’s descendants who continue to sever heads.  Muslims are killing at a rate of 1,000 per month worldwide, yet the Times cannot recognize their millions of victims.

The Temple Mount is Judaism’s holiest site, the location of King Solomon’s Temple built in 957 BCE, long before there were Muslims.  Islam usurps land and destroys or builds over ancient artifacts to allege as theirs.  They are today claiming Moses and Jesus as their prophets and say they preceded Christopher Columbus to America. The Temple Mount is new inspiration to fuel yet another jihad demand.  They seek to possess Israel, just as they are doing in Africa, Europe, and ultimately America.

Mahmoud Abbas’s condemnation of the killings of worshipers while arranging to distribute sweets to the murderers’ families and townsfolk rings as hollow as his words after he bankrolled the 1972 Munich Massacre of eleven Israeli Olympic athletes.

The New York Times is locked in a cycle of “Moral Equivalency.”  It is not moral.

The Takeover of the Anti-Semitic Association (ASA)!


By Tabitha Korol

The American Studies Association (ASA), allegedly a scholarly association – (“our nation’s oldest (1951) and largest association devoted to the interdisciplinary study of American culture and history,”) has abandoned its scholarly pursuits to boycott Israel, and banned Israel’s university representatives participation in a forthcoming academic conference at a California hotel/resort.  The chain subsequently declined.  Why would a once-respectable organization depart from its stated mission, and take on a jihadist agenda? Answer: moral bankruptcy – clearly and definitively anti-Semitic, they have chosen Marxism and Islamism over democracy, virtue, and integrity.

8583

Jihadist professors want to isolate Israel for the “Palestinian cause,” a deflection and façade for the greater global threat of world domination.  A blood-thirsty lot, Mahmoud Abbas has openly called for the murder of Israelis.  The reign of terror has begun on the Jewish state, just as it is underway in other countries.  This is the group that ASA supports; this is the group that ASA has become.

As I noted last December, 2013:

[Then-]President Curtis Marez admitted that there are worse countries than Israel but, he added, “One has to start somewhere.” Can you picture Marez as part of a firefighting team sent to extinguish a blaze in Southern California, and he’ll start “somewhere” in North Dakota? So they’re boycotting Israel’s universities, which are also attended by Palestinian students, rather than boycotting Palestinian universities, which were instituted by Israel but are prohibited to Jewish students.

All but the comatose know that Israel has won more Nobel prizes per capita than any other country, has more laureates in real numbers than China, Mexico and Spain; publishes more books translated from other languages, and Israelis read more books per capita than any other nation.  She leads with the number of scientists and technicians in the work force (exceeding the U.S. by 63%) and most physicians and engineers per capita, ranks third in producing the most scientific papers per capita, and her contributions to medicine and agriculture are beyond miraculous.  With Israel’s dedication to morality and improving life, she appears as the moral conscience that Islam and ASA resent.  The association has chosen tyranny over democracy, using Palestinian propaganda to trash Israel, while also harming America and the entire non-Islamic world.  We are all Islam’s despised infidels.

  • An estimated nine million Christians martyred by Islam, another 50 million killed in jihad, and still another million African Christians killed in the 20th century, total 60 million Christians.
  • Between the 8th and 19th century, 10 to 18 million Africans were brought by Arab slave traders from Africa.
  • An estimated 80 million Hindus were killed in 500 years of jihad against India, counted among the world’s greatest genocides. India’s mountains, Hindu Kush, mean funeral pyre, where Indian women first self-immolated to escape Muslim rape and enslavement.  Tamerlane, one of the most violent jihadists (and after whom a Boston Marathon bomber was named), devastated 700 villages, killing 90,000 Indians in a day, enslaving 180,000.  His son destroyed temples, forced conversions, and built two towers of human heads “so high that men on horseback could not see over them.”
  • About 10 million Buddhists were killed by jihadists in Turkey, Afghanistan, along the Silk Route, and in India.
  • Jihad was 100% effective against Jews in Arabia. Lacking political power, Jews submitted to dhimmihood, and destroyed Persian Zoroastrians.
  • After constant wars between Persia and the Byzantine Empire, followed by the Black Plague, Islam’s apostles invaded, slaughtered Christians and Persians, destroyed Egypt (the breadbasket) and Syria (heart of the law), and annihilated all classical civilization in Europe within 25 years.
  • Over 1400 years, Muslims brutally killed 270 million, which now historians estimate at 300-400 million. Since 9/11, this “religion of peace” has carried out almost 25,000 deadly terrorist attacks against five religions.

In every measurable area of civilization, the Islamic world finishes last or next to last, their people among the highest in illiteracy and in producing terrorists, suffering and bloodshed.  Islam glorifies memorizing the 7th century Qur’an and poverty, which go hand in hand with backwardness, frustration, jealousy, anger and war, with which ASA is seeking “deeper engagement.”  And, because the Qur’an teaches that Islam is superior to all other religions, the Muslims must annihilate those who stand between them and supremacy – advanced Western civilization – whether by sword or social, political, and economic destruction for conquest.

Islamists obstructed early Mediterranean commerce, forcing traders to the Silk Road, increasing expenses, hardships, and travel time by months; and continue to kidnap, rape and behead, to intimidate and frighten, and enforce Sharia. They use less violent means to demand “religious” accommodations, infiltrate government and academia, boycott to foil international cooperation and tourism, create no-go zones to control cities.  The war against Israel is most publicized, but Sweden, rape capital of the world, also holds the world record for rapes and number of school fires set by Muslims – one per day.  They are versatile, determined and persuasive to entice the unprincipled.

In her incoming speech, ASA’s president, Lisa Duggan, identified her Neo-Marxist radicalism, citing “American Imperialism” as their focus.  Novelist Giannina Braschi, mocking the 9/11 attacks, advocated holy war against capitalism and individual achievement.  They deliberately displayed their moral bankruptcy when abandoning their founding tenets, and of 5,000 members, 2,200 library and other institutions, only 200+ universities rejected the bigoted boycott of Israeli and US scholars; four universities withdrew their membership.  Jihadist professors and academicians are collaborating with pure lethal hatred against Israel (national origin) and Jews (religion).  This is not a Palestinian issue, but discrimination and a national and international campaign against Jews, as existed in Germany, 1933 – to be followed by books banned or burned?  ASA should be deprived of its tax-exempt non-profit 501(c) organization, since it has become a political advocacy group.

Ironically, this is jihad against “infidels” by other non-Islamic “infidels.”  Duggan does not address Islam’s legacy to the world, their history of brutality that changed entire continents, North Africa and the Middle East, from Christian to Muslim. Rather, she has joined the (at least) 63,035,000 jihadists responsible for financing the Munich Massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes; refusing the many peace efforts; inciting riots, throwing stones, butchering innocents, using Muslim human shields to increase their blame tactics; the terror tunnels, and the current car and lone-wolf intifada. Duggan has joined the Muslims who have invented nothing, created nothing, and given nothing to civilization’s betterment.

Today, ISIS (wealthiest terror group) demolishes shrines, temples and tombs, and relishes decapitation; Hamas (second wealthiest group) uses Muslim children to dig tunnels through which to reach and slaughter Israeli children; Boko Haram kidnaps, rapes, and enslaves; Palestinians are malevolently slaughtering Israelis and firing rockets from occupied schools and hospitals, and ASA is deliberately showing solidarity in religious discrimination with these savages for a “greater Islam.”  Muslim Brotherhood operative Mohamed Akram and the Brotherhood knew to appeal to different strata of the American population; advancement of the Islamic movement includes, among many others, the world of education. Ties exist between the Muslim Brotherhood, ASA, and Georgetown University professor and member of President Obama’s National Advisory Board, Dr. John Esposito.

“Show me just what Mohammad brought that was new and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith that he preached.” – Manuel II Palaiologos, one of the last Christian rulers before the Fall of Constantinople to the Muslim Ottoman Empire.

“Israel has proved that for fifty years, its real power is in its democracy, guarding the rights of citizens, applying laws to the rich and poor, the big and small . . . and in the participation of the nation in the development of institutions according to ability and efficiency…” – Columnist Dr. Talal Al-Shareef, Palestinian newspaper Al Quds, May 27, 1999.☼
