Welcome to my
website. Unlike the universe, this website has a purpose: to offer
rants, tirades, opinions and discussion about books on Thailand, give an
overview of nightlife in Thailand and, yes, to provide a few news items which
might not appear elsewhere. And to have some fun.
Bar, club and restaurant owners who would like to send material on their
special events, birthday bashes, anniversary parties, etc., are welcome to do so
but please remember men in Thailand are a bit jaded so if you’re just going to
offer the usual free gourmet food and free full band entertainment and free
beautiful and eager-to-please women, well, the lads have been there, done that.
So do try to offer potential patrons something special. ;-)
There is a contest every two weeks when this column appears and the
first to answer the question correctly or identify a photograph correctly
will receive vouchers worth at least 3,500 baht in
food and drink, i.e., 500 baht each, from Larry's Dive, Shadow Bar, The Old
Dutch, the Big Mango, Electric Blue, The Duke of Wellington pub, and Bourbon Street Restaurant. The prizes will
build up in case anyone doesn't win it immediately so the bonanza for the
eventual winner could get quite interesting. It will double to
7,000 and, if still no winner, to
10,500, etc. Second prize is a "I Support
Single Moms" T-shirt. And please remember a part of all money received from the sale of
my books goes to needy Thais (in the form of payment to go go dancers,
waitresses and hostesses).
This contest's first prize is worth
7,000 baht in food and drink vouchers!

Repercussions and an Urgent Appeal
There is nothing new I can add to what is happening in Thailand. PAD
closed the airports thereby costing people money and causing inconvenience.
All true. But remember one thing: Taksin's brother-in-law, the present
prime minister, and his cronies have been working to undue all the work of
judges and the Thai legal system over the past 18 months and are even trying to
change Thailand's laws so the corrupt convict, Taksin, can come back and steal
more money and his party will not be dissolved and all those found guilty of
corruption, etc., will be free and clear. The only reason this hasn't
happened already is thanks to PAD. And please note because of the closure
of the airports, Khun Nana is stranded in Angeles City, Philippines, so he has
no new column this time around. I suppose if one need be stranded there
are few better places than AC.
The S&M bars around town are not so affected by the closure of the airports
as locals go there
,
however, the four or five Houses of Domination in Bangkok have most of their customers coming in from
Europe and the United States. Which means right now they have no new
customers and the doms have nobody to punish. A sad state of affairs,
indeed. So if you were planning to
give yourself a Christmas treat or New Year treat by going to a House of
Domination please move the date up and go NOW. Please make sure the doms
at these venerable institutions have enough work to do.

This lady is a Dollhouse dancer on Soi Cowboy. Not quite sure why she
is dressed in a Budweiser dress because she wasn't selling any beer but, hey,
TIT (This is Thailand).
*********************
I spent some time on a Thursday night at Nana Plaza and along Sukhumvit, soi
4. Big Dogs was doing very well and Angelwitch was filling up fast.
And, no doubt, a few other bars were doing OK but for the most part there were
not many customers and as some of the mamasans assured me,
business sucks. In the old days, of course, it was Patpong Road.
Then Patpong fell to the Night Market, touts, ripoff upstairs bars, and hordes
of tourists. Nana Plaza took off and Soi Cowboy was something of an
afterthought. Now, Soi Cowboy is more the place to be for lively action
and of course their great advantage is that the ladies are allowed to be
skimpily dressed which, for the most part, they are not in Nana Plaza.
Even Rainbow 4 with lots of good-looking women had few customers. I always
found that bar a bit cold in atmosphere and always prefer a bar with its own
personality. Angelwitch has a personality, so does Rawhide on Cowboy, so
does Cactus Bar, for that matter. But there are too many bars now to
survive by just have some girls dancing. It looks as if some of the owners and
managers haven't figured that out yet. I see the Joy Bar on Soi Cowboy has
spent time and money renovating a couple of rooms upstairs over the bar.
Thoughtful and convenient.
*********************
When I went to Electric Blue on Patpong 2 I was happy to see Noy again.
He is the photographer I first met three decades ago on Patpong and he is still
at it! I first met him in the 1970's and he had the same smile and same
good attitude. I don't suppose he has pictures from that era left over but
if he does they would be fun to see.
*********************
Feminazi
Not a pretty word, is it? And sometimes I get criticized for using it.
But, if fact, I do that to be fair to women. Because especially when I
lived in New York City I would sometimes discuss or debate or argue issues with
women. And I began to realize that the word "feminist" has lost its
meaning. There is a spectrum, stretching at the one end from the women who
believe as I do that women should be paid equally for equal work, women should
have a right to an abortion (it's their body!), etc. No problem.
On the other end of the spectrum, we have women who hate men so much the hatred
is coming out of their ears. They also think of themselves as "feminists."
So I reserve the word "feminist" for women I respect and women who can discuss
issues without hating men. I use the word "feminazi" for women who hate
men and whose arguments are about as rational as believing in fairies and
witches. I find it necessary to distinguish between the two types,
otherwise it isn't fair to the majority of feminists who are definitely not
feminazis. Anyway, that's the way it I see. And in the words of the
great Trink, "Nuff said?"
*********************
A Mystery
A friend of mine went into a bar at Nana Plaza and chatted (he speaks fluent
Thai) with a girl for about ten minutes and he asked if she wanted to come home
with him. Her answer was an enthusiastic "yes!" They got back,
watched some TV, had a bite to eat, got along fine, and eventually went to bed.
And then things went south: She didn't want to be kissed on the lips, or
breasts, or there, in fact, she didn't want to do much of anything.
She was a real party pooper and so he gave her 500 baht for a taxi and she left.
Of course, women should never be forced to do something they don't want to do.
But this girl was not at all new to the bar scene and she knew what was expected
and my friend is a very gentle, nice guy, so he wasn't going for rough sex or
anything. So she lost out on the money she would have made. It is a
mystery that some girls act like that, even when they are in the game. If
she doesn't want to do anything, fair enough. But why work in a bar where
she likes to be bought out? Work in a restaurant. That happened to
me only once and I confess I didn't even give the lady in question taxi money. My friend is
a true gentleman.

WHOOPS!
Meanwhile, The Telegraph newspaper website,
www.telegraph.co.uk, has named Thailand
as one of the world's most generous countries, alongside Iraq, Afghanistan,
Chechnya, South Africa, Jamaica, Sudan, Colombia, Haiti, Eritrea, Democratic
Republic of Congo, Liberia, Pakistan, Burundi, Nigeria, Zimbabwe, India, Mexico,
Isarel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories, and Lebanon.
(Don't you love it when newspapers blow it? You don't suppose the

*********************
Bangkok Post watch
It isn't enough that the Bangkok Post allows a Muslim fanatic to write
a so-called column every other Sunday and that they seldom print letters
criticizing the column; in its need to dump on the West the Post also
likes to grab hold of any leftwing nonsense it can find. It doesn't seem
to want to let even one weekend go by with slamming the US or Israel.
And so last Sunday saw one of the leftwing foreigners living in Bangkok
babbling about the poor Palestinians and how nasty those Israelis are.
Needless to say, it was all one-sided, specious nonsense in which the writer
cherry-picked quotes to back up his claim. He mentioned that Europe was
now coming out to criticize Israel, forgetting to point out how desperately
Europe needs Middle East oil, in the same way that the Bangkok Post wants
to keep the revenue flowing from those full page and double-spread Muslim
national day ads. Never let truth (or an alternative viewpoint) get in the
way of lucrative ad revenue. And only choose columnists who will never
give a balanced report on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
And you can be sure the Bangkok Post columnists will never report on
the horrible way Mumbai victims were tortured by the Muslim fanatics, especially
the Jews. (They ran one story mentioning "terrorists" several times but never
used the word "Muslim.") But this from another paper:
"The other doctor, who had also
conducted the post-mortem of the victims, said: "Of all the bodies, the Israeli
victims bore the maximum torture marks. It was clear that they were killed on
the 26th itself. It was obvious that they were tied up and tortured before they
were killed. It was so bad that I do not want to go over the details even in my
head again," he said.

A Friend of mine, a fluent Thai speaker, sent me this:
BEWARE MIDNIGHT BAR! (There are katoeys mixed in with the girls, anyway)
I popped in to Midnite Bar for a nightcap around 1.30.
A rather attractive young lady came and sat next to me and I bought her a
drink.
She was a little quiet, but pleasant enough, and after a little while
chatting, I asked her if she went home with customers, and she said that she
did. I asked her how much for longtime, and she said 'up to you'. I asked her
if she would accompany a customer long time for 2000 Baht, and she said that
she could.
At this point, her friend sat on the other side of me. She was a little more
confident and aggressive, but also quite cute.
I bought her a drink, and after downing a tequila, she said that she and her
friend always went everywhere together. She said I should barfine them both.
I explained that I really wouldn't know what to do with two ladies, that I
surely wouldn't have enough energy, and that I was way too poor to pay for the
two of them.
She assured me that she could teach me what to do with two ladies, that they
would do all the hard work, and that there could be a satisfactory financial
arrangement.
She suggested 3000 Baht for the two of them longtime. If I wanted to take the
first lady, I would have to take them both.
Well... I must say that I find that the fantasy of a 'menage a trois' rarely
lives up to the expectations, I suspected that the more confident girl would
end up taking control, and really I preferred my first choice. But at 3000
Baht for two ladies longtime, it seemed like an attractive offer.
I repeated it to them - 3000 Baht, two ladies, longtime - total.
Agreed.
The barfine was 700 Baht each, so I handed over 1400 Baht.
They went off to change.
When they came back, the second girl said, I'm sorry. I made a mistake. We
can't both go for longtime for 3000 Baht. If you want longtime, you'll have to
pay more.
I pointed out that only five minutes before, a clear deal had been made.
She said that she had 'poot pit', spoken incorrectly.
I said that it's not good to make a deal, then change your mind.
But she complained that it was just a mistake, and was quite indignant.
I suppose I could have offered more money, or suggested shorttime, or
renegotiated, but really her attitude was no longer as attractive as it had
been five minutes ago, and I felt that this was unacceptable.
I called the mamasan, and asked the girl to explain the situation. She
explained truthfully that she had agreed to 3000 Baht for both of them, but
only when she got upstairs did she realise that she had made a mistake, so she
had told me.
I said that it wasn't a problem. If the mamasan could refund the barfine, I
would be happy.
She said that she could not refund the barfine, because the machine was now
shut, whatever that meant.
I remarked that she actually had a wad of thousand Baht notes in her hand, and
that perhaps she could refund me from that, to which she laughed, and said
that was different money.
So I said never mind, she could write me a note, and I would return next
evening, when the machine wasn't shut.
She said that it wasn't the bar's fault. It was the girls' fault. The bar
couldn't be responsible for the girls' mistakes.
I asked her if she was refusing to refund my barfine, and she said yes.
I could perhaps have made more of a fuss, refused to leave without refund
etc., but I hate such confrontations, and I felt it unlikely that I would win
such a stand-off.
I explained to the mamasan that I felt that she had cheated me, and that I
would tell this story to my friends. Was she happy with that.
She replied that she hadn't cheated me, and what I said to my friends was up
to me.
*********************
The book signing at the Texas Lone Star Saloon was a lot of fun. Sold a
few books, bought the inimitable Lone Star ladies a few drinks, and saw several
old friends. (And, yes, we are getting old, alas.)
I felt sorry for a motorcycle taxi guy the other day. I took him from
Soi 23 down to Bumrungrat Hospital on soi 3. When we got to soi 3, there
were a lot of boys in brown out directing traffic so I was thinking he should
have let me off and I could have walked across the street and up the drive to
the hospital. But he crossed the street right in front of the cops and
sure enough he got stopped. The cop wanted to see his ID paper and while
he was examining it I explained to the cop that I was going to the hospital.
He asked what time was my appointment and I said in a few minutes. I was
hoping the cop would let us go but he told the driver to let me off and come
back for his paper. So when we got to the hospital I asked the driver if
the cop would want money and he said "of course." I gave him 100 baht and
let him keep the 40 baht change. Like I said, I felt sorry for the guy but
he should have known better than to cross at that point with the Law around.
When a holiday is coming in Thailand, it really makes no sense to pass the
word on whether the bars will be open or closed. Because it changes day by
day, hour by hour. And never forget each of the main farang
nightlife areas is located under the jurisdiction of a different police station
which makes an enormous difference. How much skin can a dancer show, will
bars really be closed or just look closed with the outside lights off, etc.,
often depends of what the local police station has to say. But I did walk
down Soi Cowboy during the recent holiday and all bars were closed; only Old
Dutch and nearby Queen Victoria pub were open and doing well, of course.
But I counted at least six bars with workers busy renovating, even into the
evening hours. So I guess that means the bars will be even cleaner and
prettier than before. Ain't that nice?
*********************
I don't know about you but I don't think this huge San Mig sign at the
beginning of Soi Cowboy does anything for the place.

As it is a pretty safe bet that most readers of this column have yet to buy
my book The Go Go Dancer who Stole My Viagra & other Poetical Tragedies of
Thailand I have decided to post one of the poems from the book from time to
time. Some of the poems are serious and some are for fun.
Buffalo Him
Die Send Money
Lightning struck Dang’s buffalo
I heard it on the news
Lightning struck Dang’s buffalo
The Muslims blamed the Jews.
Dang was eating curried crab
The day was bright and sunny
She logged onto the internet
And wrote
Buffalo him die send money!
Then wrapped her pleas in lovesick sauce and
Her special brand of honey.
Hans in Berlin
Nick in Nome
Mike in London
Rick in Rome
All four told Dang
NO WAY!
But six others said
OKAY!
One could never say
Dang didn’t know how to play
Percentages.
Although John in Tulsa did mention that he thought it
a bit queer
as it was the third time
one of her buffalo got struck by lightning
since the first of the year.
And Jim on Staten Island
wondered what the fuck was going on
with the weather up there in Northeast Lieland.
But each knew how unhappy Dang had been working in a bar
And each knew she had quit the bar
Just for him!
So it was only fair
In their view
She should have money to replace the unlucky buffaloes some of which got struck
by lightning
and even bird flu
from time to time.
Dang ate her crab curry
Seasoned with finely minced fantasies of Paris fashions and sprinkled with
chopped coriander leaves.
Her Thai boyfriend ate squid salad
With lots of lime.
Both ate their bamboo worms well fried
While wire transfers made their way
Across the Cultural Divide
With lovers’ dreams of yesterday.

FURTHER ADVENTURES IN THAILAND
BY KHUN MIKEN
Many years ago I read a "human interest" piece in the Bangkok Post
entitled "How to Tell if You are an Old Bangkok Hand". Unfortunately, I
didn't save the piece which contained some 20 multiple choice questions all
meant to be humorous comments on the peculiarities of Thai life viewed by
westerners. However, one question has stuck with me:
"You are on your way back into Bangkok having picked up a friend from
America who is visiting Thailand for the first time. He notes a queue of
people waiting at a bus stop. He notes that he had heard rather grim stories
of the lack of orderliness in queues in Asia and asks you to explain this
apparent anomoly. You tell him:
a. "Oh, that queue reflects the influence of the British
Empire on its former colonies"
b. "Oh, that queue reflects the Thai commitment to
orderliness and good manners in public"
c. "Oh, that queue reflects the fact that all those
people are standing in the shade of a single power pole. When the bus comes
it will be Katie bar the door and the devil take the hindmost".
I have told this story many times to Thais and westerners alike. The Thais
laugh the hardest.
Yesterday, I was tooling down the street on my trusty motorcycle when a
cargo truck (probably a 5-tonner), stacked up probably 15 feet high with cargo
came by me in the right (inner) lane. I was in the outermost (slow) lane. A
second later a Toyota pickup with several people in the back came by me in the
middle lane. We were nearing a major intersection and the lane I was in
becomes, at that point, a "left turn on red (only)" lane. I therefore pulled
in behind the Toyota and started to slow for the red light ahead. The line of
traffic in the innermost lane, where the cargo truck was, was considerably
longer than either the middle or outer lanes, and the cargo truck was already
stopped for the red light.
When the Toyota drew abreast of the cargo truck, having a remaining 50
or so feet before reaching the last car in his lane stopped for the light, he
slammed on his brakes and came to an abrupt and quite unexpected (by me)
stop. I wasn't going fast, so it wasn't really a problem to switch back into
the outer lane, go around the Toyota, and proceed to the end of my queue.
"Good grief (or something like that)! I exclaimed to my wife who was riding
double, "why on earth did that guy stop there???" "Oh!," she said with only a
moment's hesitation, "he wanted to use the cargo truck for shade while he
waited for the light to change." (!!@@#$%$%^^&*&*).
Aw yes!! This IS Thailand!! Amazing Thailand. (At times one is tempted to
insert an adjective beginning with the sixth letter of the English
alphabet between Amazing and Thailand, but this email is meant for a mixed
audience).
I have also had occasion in the last few days to take my motorcycle up a
really steep mountain road. (From Lom Kao to Phu Hin Rong Kla for those who
want to take a look on Google Earth). For those of you who have visited
Lander, Wyoming, this road is like the "switchbacks" in Lander, but on
steroids. Not only so, but it is in very bad repai in many places, having
heaved up and sunk down so that there are "waves" of probably better than a
foot in "elevation". And there are portions that have slid off the mountain
entirely. So here I am creeping my way up this mountain, in first gear (if I
had had a lower gear, I would certainly have been using it. It took me the
best part of 3 hours to go 25 miles). What do I meet? Several half ton
Toyota pickups, stacked up about 12 feet with cabbage. I'm sure they must
have been loaded with at least 2,000 pounds of cabbage each(they insert half a
dozen extra leaves in the rear springs to accomodate this overloading. If you
ever had any doubts about the durability of Japanese trucks, come to Thailand
and see what they stand up under). And they are going DOWN this mountain!
(The Montagnards who live in this area, who used to grow opium poppies, now
grow cabbage and they were taking it down the mountain to market).
At the top of the mountain (more or less), I came to a village and observed
several children playing in a playground. Since it was Sunday, this seemed a
little unusual to me and I stopped to see what was going on. It was a little
Christian church, there in the middle of the mountains. Christianity is far
more common among the ethnically distinct Montagnard peoples than it is among
ethnic Thais. Years ago I heard an American missionary preaching to a group
of Montagnards, and what he said had to be translated twice--from English to
Thai and then (by another interpreter) from Thai to Mong (Mongtagnard). But
now, 40 years later, the sermon was being delivered in standard Thai.
Evidence of the progress the government has made in integrating these people
into the mainstream.
Further on along this road I came to a museum and the remains of a
communist training school from the time of the communist insurrection in
Petchabun, which lasted from 1968-1982. More than 2,500 government troops and
officials were killed. I haven't ever seen a count of communist dead. It was
very interesting to see that this, a "major" communist headquarters, really
consisted of some 30 one-room log cabins, some a little larger than others.
If someone had been able to bomb this camp into dust, it still wouldn't have
been a major deal. Go cut some more trees and build another bunch of cabins.
It made me realize just how difficult it is to make any real dent on an
insurgency with simple military means. The Thai government eventually
overcame this insurrection by persuading the Chinese government, who was
supporting it, to stop sending them supplies. The insurgents starved out
within a few years, and came out of the jungle to surrender (with appropriate
face-saving cover of "making peace"). Mao's fantasy of the "guerrilla living
in the people the way a fish lives in water" didn't work, at least here.
Thankfully, there was a "back" way out of this place that turned out to be
very easy and (comparatively) smooth. So I didn't have to try to go down the
mountain I had come up, which I think would have been a lot more difficult.

Dean, The reason why the
page for November 1st-15th is messed up around Khun Nana's column is that
there is an error in the code. In particular, there is a "<div>" tag that
has its matching "</div>" tag located in the wrong place. In order to solve
the problem, it is necessary to move the "</div>" tag further up into the
proper place in the code. I have made the change in the attached file.
(Note that the difference between the name of your original file and this
modified one is that I have added "CB" to the end.) I tested it in IE,

Muslim Men throw acid on womens' faces
One of many women in
Afghanistan who had acid thrown at her face by Taliban or Muslim conservative
males. Her crime? Going to school. Muslims around the world
want the Taliban to win.

Saudi Arabian Insanity
A judge ordered a young man to memorize part of the Koran and 40 sayings of the
so-called Prophet Mohammed as a punishment for appearing in public with a woman
who was not a relative. Women in Saudi Arabia are not allowed in public
unless escorted by a family member. In other words, under the pretext of
"honoring" women Muslim men continue to try to control them.

NO-GO ZONES IN BRUSSELS (Another city falling to Islam)
by Bart Debie
In
Brussels, several neighborhoods have turned into no-go zones for police
officers. Neighborhoods where they can hardly patrol without being pelted with
rocks, without being attacked, or without their police vehicles being wrecked.
Unsurprisingly, 80% of the people who live in these neighborhoods are of Islamic
origin. More often than not, the aggressors are underage.
Police inspectors claim that in several neighborhoods two patrol cars are needed
for every intervention. One to carry out the assignment, and another one to
prevent the first patrol car from being wrecked. Many police officers avoid
these notorious immigrant neighborhoods. Last week a young immigrant was
arrested after he stole a car, ran it into multiple police vehicles and tried to
run over a female police officer. He admitted the facts and even acknowledged
that he tried to kill the police officer. The Belgian court let him go. The
female officer suffered severe injuries and will be out for months.
Arrested 145 times, no sentence whatsoever
A Belgian court of law is not an ally of the police officers. Brussels’
policemen have declared in a Flemish magazine that immigrant criminals are
arrested dozens of times for armed robberies, car thefts, drug trafficking, etc.
Each time, the Public Prosecutor orders their release within a few hours after
the arrest. The criminals laugh at the police. One police officer claims he
knows a young offender who has been arrested 145 times, but has not spent one
minute in jail.

Muslims throw acid on women quite regularly. Click on the picture above.
The husband had agreed to end the marriage because he met another woman but he
still did this! This happens to several hundred Muslim women every year!

MUSLIM FANATICS 'HIJACK BRITISH PRISON'
TERRORIST: Zia Al Huq is
imprisoned at Whitemoor
By James
Murray
MUSLIM prisoners have launched a reign of
terror inside a top security British jail.
The fanatics are forcing fellow inmates to
convert to Islam or face punishment beatings.
One man who stood up to the thugs was branded with a lump of hot metal,
according to a prison source. The crisis at Whitemoor jail in
Cambridgeshire has led to calls by staff for the 100 Muslim inmates there to
be dispersed to other prisons round the country.
Some Al Qaeda supporters have set up a kangaroo court, sitting in judgment on
prisoners and ordering punishments, the source said. The violent
disciples of Osama Bin Laden have targeted even the toughest non-Muslim
prisoners, including killers and rapists.
Local Tory MP Malcolm Moss said: “They are a law unto themselves. The governor
should sort these problems out.”
Mr Moss, who recently visited the jail with Prisons Minister David Hanson,
added: “There is a fear in the prison about what Al Qaeda stands for and what
they can do. There are threats made to people to make them convert and if they
lapse it is even worse. “It is not an easy situation for the prison
officers working there. Either additional resources should be made available
or better training.”
Brian Caton, general secretary of the Prison Officers’ Association, said: “We
have been calling for the Muslim leaders to be dispersed to other jails. The
service must step in to break up this gang culture with immediate effect.”

More politically correct dhimmi claptrap is being forced down the
throats of the British people - this time in the City of Birmingham.
The historic Saracen Head pub is getting a mandatory name change -
why? - you no doubt have already guessed the answer: IT IS OFFENSIVE
TO MUSLIMS and undoubtedly will be added to the ever growing list of
THINGS THAT OFFEND MUSLIMS.
One has to wonder how many other historic British sites will get
renamed to appease the Religion of Perpetual Outrage and their asinine
dhimmi enablers - you can be sure this won't be the last.
There is an ongoing, concerted and documented
History of
Jihad against British customs and people laying
the foundation for
Eurabia. Even patriotic
parades and
bingo halls
have fallen under the cutting blade of political correctness that is intent
on wiping out any semblence of the indigenous British culture and
cohesiveness.
Incremental Islamisation of Great Britain (and Europe) is
happening to the constant drumbeat of appeasement of muslims. - The

The "Religion of Peace" visits Mumbai
"O
ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near
to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah
is with those who keep their duty" (The Qur'an, verse 9:123)
And of course yet another deadly attack on Mumbai (Bombay) from the "religion of
peace." You can be sure that Muslims will find a way to deny they were
involved, or claim the terrorists are not the REAL Muslims, or find a way to
claim that MUSLIMS are the victims. This kind of thing will never end
until people understand that this kind of sick violence stems from Islam and the
Koran and the teachings of the 7th century psycho-prophet and pedophile.
It is NOT a case of "a great religion being hijacked." This
violence against non-Muslims is exactly
what Mohammad taught and exactly what is being preached in mosques around the
world today.

"The sword of Muhammad and the Quran are the
most fatal enemies of civilization, liberty, and the truth which the world has
yet known." - The eminent orientalist Sir William Muir (1819-1905)
“Religion is an insult to human
dignity. With or without it, you would have good people doing good things
and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things,
that takes religion.”-- by Nobel Laureate physicist Steven Weinberg.
Some books that tell it like it is!
****************************************
Please
note, I do not and never would advocate violence against individual Muslims
in any community. For one thing, the guy you beat up with a baseball bat may
turn out to have just escaped from some horrible Islamic regime. Individual
violence against Muslims or doing damage to mosques, etc., is just stupid and is
also counterproductive as Muslim fanatics will show pictures of that all over
the Muslim world to incite people against the West.
A good case can be made that
Islam is a fanatical brotherhood masquerading as a religion, and, indeed, the
adherents of Islam often act that way. But, as individuals, a Muslim neighbor
might possibly be more honest than a Christian neighbor. It is only that the
Muslim will have been brought up in a religion/brotherhood with a medieval
mindset that is centuries behind the times and has a penchant for violence,
especially against those who criticize the Koran and other aspects of Islam.
Winning the war against Muslim fanatics will take a long time and be hard-fought
but it can and will be won. But we must demand that more and more moderate
Muslims join the fight against fanatical Muslims. We must demand that our
leaders absolutely reject any "compromise" on our right to free expression.
Compromising with the fanatics pulls the rug out from the Muslim moderates
desperately trying to reform and secularize Islam. And
we must never bow to Muslim demands to curb our hard-won freedom of
expression. And freedom of expression always includes satire and even
insulting satire including satire of glorified tribal myths called religion.
