Al-Qaeda is Upset that Anwar's Rights weren't Protected

http://www.theblaze.com/stories/al-qaeda-joins-civil-liberties-groups-in-questioning-legality-of-killing-u-s-citizen-awlaki/

     So, apparently Al-Qaeda, the notorious Civil Rights Watch-dog group of the Middle East feels that our pal here Al had his rights violated.  They believe it is criminal for the U.S. not to recognize the rights of a self-professed radical cleric who taught many young muslims to kill thousands with his message of Jihad.  The audacity of the U.S. right? 
Where is the freedom, justice, human rights and respect of freedoms that they rant about?"
     I know right?  I mean, why don't we just change our message to Al-Qaeda's?  Cause I mean, their message to kill all the infidels, all the people who left Islam, all the woman who don't know their place, all the Jews, blow up Israel, and stone the adulterers just sounds like something America should go for. 

     Is it just me or does it seem more and more ridiculous?  I'm glad the sucker's dead.  I wish he'd been pushing up daisies a couple years ago honestly. He was an enemy of the state, he virtually forfeited his citizenship by being abroad for so long (and can you imagine the taxes he built up?  No wonder he didn't come back.). The right of these drones was correct in my opinion, except it should not have been something dealt with by the president alone. 

     I hate to sound paranoid but here it goes.  Do we really want the President (especially the Clown in Chief) to have the right to simply go out and kill someone who he sees as an enemy to the government?  Let's face it, he played jury, judge, and executioner.  Do we want the guy to have absolute authority like that?  He never even met this guy before, imagine what he wishes he could do to some of the Tea Partiers. 

     I don't contend that this shouldn't have been done.  Honestly I don't know if I would have wanted the guy to be brought back to America for Trial.  However, Do we really want to give the Executive Branch that much power?  I'm far from saying we should worry about them turning on us, but let us not forget how slippery a hill it is when Government is given more power.  It is merely something to be considered by those who realize that Government power is rarely, if ever, a good thing.

     But thank God the guy is dead.  The ACLU can't bring anyone to testify against us now.

Islamists Storm Tunisian University

http://news.yahoo.com/tunisia-islamists-storm-university-over-veil-ban-181926782.html

     I know.  It's Shocking right?  I mean to think that a country in the Middle East has these things happening is just so out character.  But seriously, does this surprise anyone?  They had the same issues in Afghanistan after they got rid of the Russians.  The Mob mentality doesn't all of a sudden dissipate because the "Authoritarians" are gone.  In Afghanistan, it never did. 

     However, this should be a surprise.  The Arab Spring was not born out of a simple love for Democracy.  As I wrote in an older essay, which I'll post in the DINO records soon, we aren't talking about Revolutions in the line of the American Revolution.  Take Egypt for example.  Their entire fight was of the Mob, there were no Individual figure heads of the protests.  There was a simple ideology that we need to get rid of this government.  Now, their two biggest political parties are the Socialists and the Muslim Brotherhood.  Lovely, no?

     Now we have violent Islamists (as if there are any other kind) going after Universities.  A school has the right to give a dress code and if people aren't going to adhere to it, then they DON'T go.  College Education isn't a right.  Wearing a Full-Face veil, which symbolizes submition of woman, should not be allowed in a School.  It's an attack against education.  It is a slap in the face to those woman who have fought for their sex to be represented as equal to men academically.  The Niqab might as well have written on it "the male beside me is better". 

     However, the worse part is the reaction of these people.  Weren't they supposed to be peaceful?  Weren't they the Valiant warriors for Democracy who fought against the Tyranny of a Leader who'd become Dictator?  But of course not.  They aren't peaceful.  They aren't valiant.  They are extremists.  They are biggots.  And they are anti-republican, anti-democratic, anti-freedom, and most likely anti-West.  We need to realize this.  We need to recognize the difference between those who follow the Rights of the Individual, and those who simply want to empower the Mob.  And Islam has far too often shown itself to be a follower of the latter.
