         <title>I Do Not Drink But ...</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">I</span> rarely drink, perhaps once in a while, if I'm at a restaurant, I'll have wine with my meal.  However if I ever visit Thailand I may take to drinking heavily - very heavily:</p>

<p><br /><div style="float: top; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/bj.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/bjsm.jpg" alt="free blowjob with first drink" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"></span></div><br clear="all" /></p>

<p>Let me tell you why this sign really pleases me: Muslims are not allowed to drink alcohol <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a> or get blowjobs from women other than their wives <a href="#fn2" name="_fn2" ><font color="green">(2)</font></a> until they get to Heaven while us infidels can enjoy both in this world. Nya, nya, Ahmed.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Obama Version of Self-Reliance</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: top; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/obama-phone.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/obama-phonesm.jpg" alt="Obamaphone Lady" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;"></span></div><br clear="all" /></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">I</span>f there is one saying that epitomizes the American way of life, or used to, it is this: "<em>Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.</em>" When I was a child (1952), my second-most favorite comic book character was Superman and so I truly believed that there was nothing more noble than fighting for "truth, justice, and the American way."</p>

<p>Why is it that whenever we elect liberal idiots like Jimmy Carter and Barack Obama, we lose any notion of American exceptionalism and respect for the American way.<br />
 <br />
Here is the Obama version of the old proverb I quoted above:</p>

<blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"><p>Give a man a welfare check, a free cell phone with unlimited minutes, free internet, cash for clunkers, food stamps, section 8 housing, free contraceptives, EBT card, Medicaid, ninety-nine weeks of unemployment, free medicine, and he will vote Democratic the rest of his life; even after he's dead.</p></blockquote><br />

<p>Here's the result of more than four years of Obama: according to a recent Gallup poll: 50% of Americans Believe America’s Best Years Are Behind Us <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a>.</p>

<p>Interesting. Only half the country pays taxes - that's most likely the half that thinks the best years are behind us. The other half of our country doesn't pay any income taxes at all - I wouldn't be surprised if they were the ones who think the country’s best years are ahead of us. Very interesting. </p>

<p>Perhaps it's time to take away the vote from those who pay no taxes. Why should anyone who pays no taxes vote to possibly increase taxes on those who do work and pay taxes? </p>

<p>No taxation without representation is evil. Even more evil and immoral is representation without taxation. </p>

<p><br /><hr style="height:1px;width:50%;border:1px solid #000;" /><br /></p>

<p>For my readers who are wondering who's my first-most favorite comic book character: Scrooge McDuck, a poor immigrant who came to America and became successful in gold mining, see my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2010/10/when_it_comes_to_money_everyone_is_a_jew.html">When It Comes to Money Everyone is a Jew</a>.</p>

<p>In that article I wrote: <em>Even if Obama destroys our economy, brings this country to its knees, and makes a shambles of our health care system, there will always be these people I saw today, the true, real Americans, not the whining entitlement slobs that leftists have always catered to.</em></p>]]></description>

         <title>Leading Solar Panel Maker In China Declares Bankruptcy</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: top; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/china-solar-closes.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/china-solar-closessm.jpg" alt="a worker forklifts solar panel products at Suntech Power in Wuxi, east China's Jiangsu Province" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;">Leading solar panel maker in China declares bankruptcy<br />Photo Credit: <a href="http://english.people.com.cn/102774/8176456.html">Xinhua/Shen Peng</a></span></div><br clear="all" /></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">C</span>hina has lessons for Marxists the world over regarding government subsidized Solar energy (are you listening Obama?) - even with the largest building boom <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a> in world history, there is not enough profit to be made to keep a solar panel company in business, despite China's generous handouts and loans.

<p>In the photo above taken on 26 Sep 2011, a worker forklifts solar panel products at Suntech Power in Wuxi, east China's Jiangsu Province. China's leading solar panel maker, a New York-listed private company based in Wuxi, declared bankruptcy on 20 Mar 2013 <a href="#fn2" name="_fn2" ><font color="green">(2)</font></a>. </p>

<p>As well, a few days later, German car parts supplier Bosch announced it would discontinue its solar panel manufacturing business <a href="#fn3" name="_fn3" ><font color="green">(3)</font></a>.</p>

<p>This will not deter our President from making more investments in green energy businesses that will ultimately fail. Despite state and government subsidies, promises of lower utility rates to encourage voters to accept these projects have not panned out; even the U.S. Department of Energy experts in the matter say that solar costs three and a half times that of coal. Indeed, rates for electricity in Boulder City, Colorado did in fact increase <a href="#fn4" name="_fn4" ><font color="green">(4)</font></a>.</p>

<p>I can't figure out which is the greater hoax: that subsidizing green energy is good for our country or that Obama is not a Marxist.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Even with All Their Oil Money Muslim countries are Full of Crap</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: top; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/oil-pipeline-uae.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/oil-pipeline-uaesm.jpg" alt="Abu Dhabi has completed a pipeline that will cut across much of the UAE’s barren desert to transport massive quantities of crude from its oilfields straight to the Indian Ocean" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;">Abu Dhabi has completed a pipeline that will cut across much of the UAE’s barren desert to transport massive quantities of crude from its oilfields straight to the Indian Ocean<br />Photo Credit: <a href="http://www.emirates247.com/news/emirates/abu-dhabi-completes-oil-pipeline-2010-11-25-1.321146">Emirates 24/7</a></span></div><br clear="all" /></p>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">Y</span>ou can take the Arab out of his tent, but you can't take the tent out of the Arab. It doesn't sound as good as the American version, but we find a truth there. No matter how much oil money is poured into Arab countries, they still poop in the desert as Arabs have done for centuries.</p>

<p>In my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2011/04/oil_rich_muslims_are_science_poor.html">Oil Rich Muslims Are Science Poor</a>, my readers learn that the oil monarchies of the Gulf spend about 0.2% of their gross domestic product on science while tiny, teensy-weensy, itsy-bitsy little Israel with no oil revenues spends 25 times as much. That is to say, Muslims simply don't know how to spend their money wisely.</p>

<p>Here is a perfect example of oil-rich Muslim stupidity: Dubai has built more than 188 skyscrapers [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Skyscrapers_in_Dubai">Wikipedia</a>] in the past few decades for a population that has increased 5-fold in the same time period without spending a single Dirham (about 4 Dirhams = 1 dollar) to upgrade their sewer system <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a>.</p>

<p>While neighboring Abu Dhabi has no problem building a 400-km pipeline to transport oil across the desert, see photo above, it seems that Dubai has to transport its poop with a massive convoy of poop trucks:</p>

<blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"><p align="left">YouTube, <a href="http://youtu.be/-pQdjwliLMA"><cite>The Poop snake </cite></a></p><p><iframe width="380" height="285" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-pQdjwliLMA?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p></blockquote><br />

<p>I suppose I should end this article by noting that infidels in America and Europe also have to put up with Muslim crap.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Why Does Bottled Water Have an Expiration Date?</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/bottled-water.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/bottled-watersm.jpg" alt="water bottles in a Kroger supermarket" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;">Water bottles in a Kroger supermarket<br />Flickr User: <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/elycefeliz/3931095607/">elycefeliz</a></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">T</span>here's a simple answer as to why bottled water has an expiration date: lawmakers in New Jersey, as in all states, are idiots. Back in 1987 New Jersey passed a law requiring all food products to have an expiration date of two years or less regardless of the product <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a>. They should have excluded water - water in a closed plastic container should last a lifetime and in a glass container will last billions of years.</p></p>

<p>My wife and I have the exact same opinions on religion, child-rearing, politics, immigration, race, and all other important issues in life except for one thing: we simply do not agree on anything in the kitchen; for example, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2012/12/the_dangers_of_drying_dishes_with_towels.html">how to properly dry dishes</a>,  <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2012/11/my_wife_has_refrigerator_matryoshkamania.html">how to store items in a fridge</a>, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2012/01/my_wife_will_not_eat_blemished_fruit.html">when fruit is suitable to eat</a>, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2012/04/my_wife_does_not_like_me_to_stir_cranberry_sauce.html">how to stir cranberry sauce</a>, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/08/how_to_make_the_perfect_hardboiled_egg.html">how to make a perfect hard-boiled egg</a>, and we especially disagree the most about the meaning of expiration dates.<br clear="all" /></p>

<p>My wife likes to throw stuff out simply because it is past the expiration date. I tell her it's all a scam to make her throw out perfectly good food. Certain food products can last for years beyond the scam date.  I tell her she should smell or taste the item before sending it into the trash bin. But she can't do it. I have had to resort to blocking out expiration dates when I buy groceries. This way she's forced to actually look at the food and smell it before throwing it away.</p>

<p>We have been eating expired foodstuffs for years and we're still here without a sick day in our lives, except for an occasional cold once every few winters.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Porn and Unveiled Women Reduce Rape Attacks</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/Bratz.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/Bratzsm.jpg" alt="Girls who unleash their passion and change the world - those are real Bratz!" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;">Bratz Girl<br />Photo Credit: <a href="http://www.mgae.com/">MGA Entertainment</a></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">O</span>ne of the most popular posts written by blogger Christine at her website <a href="http://skepticalmothering.com/2012/01/04/bratz-to-burqas-wheres-the-happy-medium/">Skeptical Mothering</a> is an article discussing the appropriateness of sexy attire for preteen girls. Here is part of the discussion:</p></p>

<blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"><p align="left"><h3>Bratz to Burqas – where’s the happy medium?</h3></p>
<p>
Remember when Abercrombie &amp; Fitch marketed a <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/abercrombie-fitch-padded-bikini-top-year-olds-parents/story?id=13236904#.UZGW8Mr96M0">push-up bikini </a>to eight year olds?&nbsp; Or more recently when K-Mart Australia allegedly sold <a href="http://jezebel.com/5861906/kmart-sells-i--rich-boys-thong-for-little-girls">thongs </a>that say “I ♥ rich boys” under their girls’ brand?&nbsp; A lot of moms and dads are <a href="http://www.momversation.com/momversation/are-little-girls-clothes-way-too-sexy">concerned </a>about attire available for girls that sends the message, “I’m sexually available.”<br />

<p>For me, a simple bikini falls close enough to that category that I’m uncomfortable with my 8yo wearing one.&nbsp; I realize it’s in the gray area and I don’t blame parents who buy them for their kids, but to me, part of the purpose of a bikini is to look sexy.&nbsp; I understand why bathing suits need to be like <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/1434206-p-2x.jpg">this</a>, rather than <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/g070118b.jpg">this</a>, for actual performance reasons, but what does the bare midriff achieve other than “hey, look at this bare midriff?”</p></blockquote><br /></p>

<p>Christine also linked to an article of mine (<a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/10/muslim_cleric_unveil.html">Muslim Cleric: Unveiled Women are like Juicy Steak</a>) in which an Australian Imam blames women who do not dress modestly for inviting rape. I left the following comment: <blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"><p></p>

<p>Thanks for linking my article ( “this is clearly batshit”), it’s appreciated. Of course the Imam’s notion that the girl would not have attracted the attention of men if she were completely veiled is not only batshit, it is also bullshit, as I pointed out in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2010/11/the_myth_that_veiling_protects_women_from_assault.html">The Myth that Veiling Protects Women from Assault</a>, 75% of all the women in Egypt who reported being sexually harassed were veiled at the time.</p>

<p>Veiled or not veiled, covered up or not, certain men will attack women or children no matter what they wear. However, it seems that the most dangerous countries for women are those in which they are forced to dress modestly suggesting that perhaps keeping men from releasing their tensions through ogling is not a good thing.</p>

<p>It is interesting to note that rapes have declined significantly in these past few decades in the US precisely at the time when we have exposed our teens and preteens the most to leering eyes. Perhaps we can discuss this revealing trend.</p></blockquote><br /><br clear="all" /></p>

<p>Yes, it's true. Since 1993, during the period in which the Internet has made porn most available and companies like <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2013/04/the_brits_are_concerned_with_nearly_naked_women_bu.html">American Apparel</a> put out the most outrageously sexy ads aimed at children and teens, during that period, sexual assaults have fallen by more than 60% <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a>.</p>

<p>As I noted in my comment above, countries that require their women to be modestly dressed have high rates of sexual assault. It makes sense to me. Rape has more to do with power and control than sexual release. Countries that treat their women like cattle are doing so for the same reason that men rape women.</p>

<p>As for porn, it allows men to fantasize about power and control without engaging in rape, just as violent video games have helped lower violent crimes rates in the past few decades.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Offensive Arab Jokes Explained</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/apologize-for-not-offending.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/apologize-for-not-offendingsm.jpg" alt="I apologize for not offending you" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;">Photo Credit: <a href="http://dragonlaffs.com/2012/11/21/leprechaun-laughs-168-for-wednesday-november-21st-2012/">Dragon Laffs</a></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">I</span>n response to my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2012/06/offensive_arab_jokes.html">Offensive Arab Jokes</a>, a number of my readers in the comment section complained that the jokes weren't funny, didn't make any sense, were offensive, and were untrue. First let me explain why I mock Arabs.</p></p>

<p>There are approximately 422 million Arabs in the world [<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_world">Wikipedia</a>], the majority of whom are Muslim [375 million or about 88% of all Arabs <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_world#Demographics">Wikipedia</a>]. These are the people I ridicule simply because anyone who follows an ideology of hate, intolerance, war, pedophilia, misogyny, slavery and brutality deserves to be made fun of. Either they know their so-called religion is a savage, primitive sect, or they are dupes who have never read the Quran and have no clue what Islam is all about.</p>

<p>But now to explain some of the jokes to these dupes:</p>

<p><em>Q: How do you get 30 Arabs into a telephone box?<br />
A: Tell them it isn't theirs!</em></p>

<p>As I explained in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2010/05/understanding_the_middle_east_in_less_than_5_minut.html">Understanding the Middle East in Less than 5 minutes</a>, Muslims occupy almost 1/5th of the entire land mass of our planet yet they want to also occupy Israel, which has 10,612 times less space because that land isn't theirs.</p>

<p><br /><hr style="height:1px;width:50%;border:1px solid #000;" /><br /></p>

<p><em>Q: What's 8 miles long and has a combined IQ of 56?<br />
A: A Parade in Saudi Arabia.</em></p>

<p>As we learned from my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2010/03/muslim_iq.html">Muslim IQ</a>, the stupidest people on Earth come from Islamic countries.</p>

<p><br /><hr style="height:1px;width:50%;border:1px solid #000;" /><br /></p>

<p><em>Q: How can you tell if an Arab just had sex?<br />
A: His eyes are all red from the mace. </em></p>

<p>As was discussed in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/02/muslim_rapes_of_nonmuslim_girl.html">Muslim rapes of non-Muslim girls an epidemic</a>, many Muslim men believe that women who do not wear a headscarf are asking to be raped. Therefore the joke is that when Muslims have sex, the women try to defend themselves against rape by squirting mace into their eyes. Is this one really hard to understand - Do I really need to explain this?</p>

<p><br /><hr style="height:1px;width:50%;border:1px solid #000;" /><br /></p>

<p><em>Q: Why did they close the Iraqi National Library?<br />
A: Someone stole the book. </em></p>

<p>Arabs are just not book lovers. Visitors to my blog article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2009/02/mahmud_cannot_read.html">Mahmud Cannot Read</a> were informed that in the past 1,000 years, Arabs have translated fewer than 10,000 books into Arabic while tiny Norway, with a paltry 4.5 million people, translates that many every two years. Get the joke now, Ahmed? There's only one book in the whole Iraqi National Library.</p>

<p><br /><hr style="height:1px;width:50%;border:1px solid #000;" /><br /></p>

<p>So as to the charge of being offensive and not funny, yes they are offensive, that's why I put the word 'offensive' in the title. If you are offended by offensive Muslim/Arab jokes, don't read past the title.</p>

<p>As to not making any sense, read the articles I cited.</p>

<p>As to not being true, where is it written that jokes must be true? Isn't it enough that they have a kernel of truth? For example, a Jewish joke that has been circulating for years goes like this: </p>

<p>Q: How do you get a Jewish girl to stop having sex?<br />
A: Marry her.</p>

<p>Jews and non-Jews laugh at that. Does that mean it's absolutely true for every Jewish girl who gets married? Obviously not. </p>

<p>So Ahmed, get a thicker skin, start making fun of yourself as the Jews have. No one makes more fun of Jews than Jews themselves. That's because we have a sense of humor. Perhaps if Muslim Arabs spent more time laughing they wouldn't be keeping millions of their fellow Arabs in refugee camps for more than 65 years just to spite Israel.</p>]]></description>

         <title>It is a Myth That Muslim Arabs Tolerate Blacks, Muslim or Not</title>

<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">I</span>n my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2009/12/slavery_in_islam.html">Islam and Slavery</a>, we discussed how Muslim Arab slave traders killed more than a 100 million blacks during 14 centuries of their slave raids into Africa. Muslim apologists will argue that in those days slavery was an accepted fact of life that Islam made more bearable.</p></p>

<p>And that was long ago anyway, Muslims say, Islam today is all inclusive and one big, tolerant, happy family - see the photo above of Muslim children of all races playing together. However, the idea portrayed is a lie. Here is an ugly secret: Muslim Arabs hate blacks whether those blacks are Muslim or not.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Bernie`s Islamic Bookstore and Entertainment Center</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/barnes-n-noble.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/barnes-n-noblesm.jpg" alt="Barnes & Noble Bookstore New Brunswick, N.J." style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;">Photo Credit: <a href="http://store-locator.barnesandnoble.com/store/2985">Barnes & Noble</a></span></div><p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">O</span>n a recent visit to a Barnes & Noble I noticed the shelves were empty of any books on Muslim science-fiction, Muslim fashion, Muslim Sports, Muslim Entertainment, Muslim Detective Stories or Muslim anything.</p></p>

<p>Now that's very curious because <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2009/06/muslims_at_the_beginning_of_the_united_states.html">according to our President</a>, "<em>Islam has always been a part of America's story</em>." So where are they? I know the Jews have contributed to our culture with <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2011/11/what_are_jews_good_for.html">music</a>, songs, novels, plays, well, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/10/as_a_jew_i_apologize.html">almost the entirety of our entertainment industry</a>. As well Jews have helped make advancements in the legal profession, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2011/11/what_are_jews_good_for_in_psychology_and_philosoph.html">philosophy</a>, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2011/02/avoiding_jewish_products_may_kill_you.html">medicine</a>, <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2012/01/what_are_jews_good_for_in_science_and_discovery_1.html">science</a>, and <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/03/muslim_inventions_nobel_prizes.html">Nobel Prizes</a>.</p>

<p>So where, Mr. President, are the Muslim parts of our story? </p>

<p>They aren't there. Let me tell you why. What Muslim will bother to add to the body of great American fiction when the greatest work of fiction, the Quran, is the only book a Muslim needs to read?</p>

<p>Medicine, philosophy, psychology, they all've been covered in the Quran.</p>

<p>Entertainment? How can one follow all the rules <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a> of what is and is not permissible entertainment? After all, Muslims are told that they didn't come in this world to enjoy themselves.</p>

<p>Sports? Why get involved in an activity which has <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2011/06/13_rules_for_playing_muslim_soccer.html">so many rules as to make it impossible to play</a> or which invites bomb attacks <a href="#fn2" name="_fn2" ><font color="green">(2)</font></a>? </p>

<p>I hate to break it to you, Mr. President, but Islam is incompatible with western culture and even if Muslims were here for a thousand years they would, by the rules of their faith, be unable to add anything to our culture or way of life. Since they have nothing to add, they are bent on destroying our way of life.</p>

<p>Before any of my readers object by mentioning the great advances made by Muslims during the Golden Age of Islam, allow me to point out that that notion is a myth. As I wrote in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2011/04/oil_rich_muslims_are_science_poor.html">Oil Rich Muslims Are Science Poor</a>: <blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"><p>The Golden Age of Islam was actually the Golden Age of Arabs, Jews, Persians, Hindus and others who through sharing of knowledge brought to the world great learning and advancements in science, humanities, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, chemistry, zoology and geography. </p></blockquote><br /></p>

<p>Let me finish by saying I am a businessman. I have been a founding partner in a number of multi-million dollar companies with hundreds of employees. Normally this huge paucity of books and contributions by Muslims would signal in my Jew-brain an opportunity to make money by opening a Bookstore and Entertainment Center catering to Muslims. But that would assume that Muslims are just like us and want those things. However, that assumption would be wrong and so you will never see a place called <em>Bernie`s Islamic Bookstore and Entertainment Center</em>. <br clear="all" /></p>]]></description>

         <title>Muslims Do Not Come To America to Accept Our Way of Life</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">N</span>o immigrants coming to America have ever contributed anything worthwhile to our country. As I explained in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/07/immigrants_did_not_m.html">Immigrants did not make this country great</a>: all the great cultural, scientific, and artistic achievements in our country were due to people who gratefully became Americans, happily learned our language, willingly integrated into our culture and and gladly accepted our way of life. Immigrants who do not want to do all these things are here either to suck on our government teat or to destroy our way of life. Or in the case of the Boston marathon bombers, were here to do both <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a>.</p>

<p>If they're not collecting welfare or making bombs Muslims still make demands to make their culture trump ours. For example, a Muslim woman in Tulsa, Oklahoma wants a local bank to make Muslims exempt from their "no hats, no hoods" policy. According to the policy, anyone who doesn't want to remove their head covering must be escorted to and from the teller; even a cancer patient wearing a head scarf.</p>

<p>Now I think that's a wise and appropriate policy considering that bank robbers have been using burqas to both cover their faces and to hide weapons, see my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/05/philly_cop_killed_time_to_ban_the_burqa.html">Philly Cop Killed: Time to Ban the Burqa</a>. However, CAIR wants to make religious headgear exempt from the ban on hats and hoods <a href="#fn2" name="_fn2" ><font color="green">(2)</font></a>. What's the point of that? If religious headgear is exempt, then a bank robber will simply use a burqa instead of a ski mask to rob the bank <a href="#fn3" name="_fn3" ><font color="green">(3)</font></a>.</p>

<p>CAIR doesn't care about the safety of infidels or the bank, as long as Muslims get their way. Cancer patients have to be escorted to a teller, but Muslims feel that since Islam is supreme, exceptions must be made to accommodate them.</p>

<p>The Jews have a word, <em>Chutzpah</em>, to describe someone who has overstepped the boundaries of decent behavior. Chutzpah does not describe the egregious arrogance of Muslim demands. We need a new word, nay, we need a few words to say to Muslims when they make absurd demands to accommodate their sensitivities. Here's a phrase Ahmed: "Don't ask us to change our culture if it offends thee - just get the f*ck out!" Please. </p>]]></description>

         <title>Tashkent - A Birthplace I Don`t Remember</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="tashkentuzbekistan330pm.jpg" src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image/tashkentuzbekistan330pm.jpg" /></p>

<p><br />
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">M</span>y father was the manager of a shoe factory in Tashkent during WWII. He was one of more than one million Holocaust-fleeing Jews <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a> who passed through Uzbekistan during the war.<br />
 <br /><br />
So when I came across this photo from Andrew Sullivan's <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20060615051511/http://time.blogs.com/daily_dish/2006/06/the_view_from_y_7.html">the Daily Dish - the view from your window</a>, of Tashkent, Uzbekistan, 3.30 pm. from someone's window, I thought I should write some of my thoughts about the place.</p></p>

<p>I was born in 1945 in Tashkent, the Capital of Uzbekistan, and left there when I was only a few months old. I obviously recall nothing about the city. For the next 50 years I never came across anyone who was also born in Uzbekistan. At one point, I thought I never would. Then 17 years ago I placed an ad in the Newark Star Ledger for a computer programmer and received a call from a young man with a slight Russian accent.</p>

<p>During the phone interview, on a whim, I asked the young man if he was from Uzbekistan. After a slight hesitation he stammered, "Yes....." Then I asked if he was from Tashkent. Now he was astounded. He asked, how could I know?</p>

<p>I told him it was merely a guess. I suppose if you are from a really far away place calling for a job interview and your prospective boss hits where you're from on the nail, it can be awe inspiring. I told him to come in for an in-depth interview and he did, although he later told me he half expected to be arrested by immigration when he arrived even though he was here legally on a temporary visa. Later that day I let him in on the fact that I too was born in Tashkent. He wound up becoming a citizen and worked for me for 10 years before striking out on his own. </p>

<p>I have since hired four others from Uzbekistan as programmers. Perhaps I'm on some list in Uzbekistan somewhere as a person who hires programmers. </p>

<p>Until the War on Terror and our use of airbases in Uzbekistan, I spent most of my life explaining to people that I was born in a country near Afghanistan. Of course, most Americans have no idea where Afghanistan is either but at least they've heard of Afghanistan (read my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2013/04/why_so_many_americans_think_the_boston_bombers_cam.html">Why So Many Americans Think the Boston Bombers Came From Czechoslovakia</a>). Then I would say it's a few hundred miles west of China and everything would be clearer, sort of.</p>

<p>I should mention that I now live in Bayonne, N.J. Latitude N 40° 40' which is less than two-thirds of a degree south of Tashkent Latitude N 41° 16'  or to put it another way, I now live about 41 miles south of where I was born latitude-wise in a sort of Geographical Kismet. </p>

<p>Uzbekistan is a Tyrannosaurus Rex-shaped country of mostly Uzbek  Muslims, see map below:</p>

<p><img alt="uzbekistan map" src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/image/uzbekistan_sm05.gif" width="400" /><br />
 <br />
I've googled now and then for images of Uzbekistan, but aside from some monuments and camels I never found a picture that made me feel nostalgic for a place I feel no connection with. I was born there but I certainly don't feel Uzbek. My parents were born in Poland, and I can get around speaking the language but I don't feel Polish.</p>

<p>However I do feel Jewish although my father, at one time a very religious Jew who later became nonreligious never once discussed anything in the Torah with me, ever. Funny that, eh?</p>

<p>But I feel American more than anything else. Perhaps that's because I chose to become an American citizen when I was 18 and choosing is more important than where you were accidentally born or the ethnicity of your parents.</p>]]></description>

         <title>Suspend Muslim Immigration, Muslim Military service, and Building of Mosques</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p><br /><div style="float: top; margin-bottom: 10px;"><a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/momo3550.jpg"><img src="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/iamges/sub14/momo3550sm.jpg" alt="Europe wants Muslims Out" style="border: solid 2px #000000;" /></a><br /><span style="font-size: 0.9em; margin-top: 0px;">Photo Credit: <a href="http://www.bivouac-id.com/billets/photos-pakistan-deuxieme-journee-de-manifestations-contre-le-concours-de-caricatures-de-mahomet/">Bivouac-ID</a></span></div><br clear="all" /></p>

<p><br />
<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">I</span> have for years blogged about banning further Muslim Immigration and even deporting those that are already among us, see my 2007 article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2007/04/ota_the_sunset_of_ch.html">The Sunset of Christianity</a>. Had this country heeded my warnings there would have been no deaths or destruction at the end of the Boston Marathon.</p></p>

<p>On 1 Jun 2009 an American convert to Islam, one Carlos Leon Bledsoe, opened fire with a rifle in a drive-by shooting on soldiers in front of a United States military recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas, killing Private William Long, and wounding Private Quinton Ezeagwula. This was only one case out of many involving American converts to Islam. In my 2006 article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/05/can_muslims_be_good.html">Can Muslims be Good Americans? No. No. No.</a>, I warned that "<em>when an American, who was born here, converts to Islam, he becomes a threat to this country.</em>" Had this country heeded my warnings to deport all Muslims, including converts, there would have been no deaths or injuries in subsequent attacks.</p>

<p>In my 2009 article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2009/11/ft_hood_lesson_keep_muslims_out_of_military.html">Ft Hood Lesson: Keep Muslims out of Military</a>, I noted that infidel countries throughout the world are now finding out that Muslims in their military is a bad idea. For example, during the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2005_civil_unrest_in_France">2005 civil unrest in France</a> French authorities did not employ the army, despite calls to do so, because they feared that their Muslim soldiers would revolt at quelling an Islamic uprising (15% of the French armed forces are made up of Muslims). Had the US Government heeded my 2006 warnings that devout Muslims cannot be loyal citizens there would have been no deaths at Fort Hood because they would have not allowed Maj. Nadal Malik Hasan to join the military.</p>

<p>As for mosques, as I noted in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2010/10/allowing_mosques_in_the_us_will_reduce_terrorism.html">Allowing Mosques in the US will Reduce Terrorism (NOT)</a>, there are thousands upon thousands of mosques in the US, yet we remain a target for Islamic vengeance. Allowing mosques has not made us more safe, in fact because they breed future Islamists, they make us less safe. It's time we banned the building of mosques. Of course, if we deport all Muslims, there would be no need for them.</p>

<p>Bryan Fischer, Director of Issue Analysis for Government and Public Policy at the American Family Association, agrees with me on all three issues: <blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"><p align="left">Jan Morgan Media, <a href="http://janmorganmedia.com/2013/05/suspend-muslim-immigration-muslim-military-service-building-of-mosques/"><cite>Suspend Muslim Immigration, Muslim Military service, and Building of Mosques</cite></a></p><p>Somebody has to be the first to say it.</p>

<p>It’s time, for the sake of the security of the United States of America, to immediately suspend Muslim immigration, to preclude Muslims from service in our military and to stop the building of mosques.</p>

<p>(The matters of Muslim military service and the building of mosques will need to be subjects of future columns.)</p>

<p>It should go without saying that I am speaking just for myself here. But these possibilities must be addressed and discussed in a sober fashion. The reality is that we will wind up doing these three things out of necessity if we do not do them out of wisdom. We need to make these adjustments before it’s too late rather than after it’s too late.</p>

<p>We should suspend Muslim immigration into the United States immediately. Why? Because Muslims bring with them a totalitarian ideology that calls for the submission of the United States to Islam and Sharia law.</p>

<p>Pew released its findings yesterday on its worldwide survey of Muslims, and revealed that two-thirds of Middle Eastern Muslims believe in the death penalty for any Muslim who converts to Christianity, and one-third believe in suicide bombings. This is not a religion of peace or liberty. Every tenet of Islam is fundamentally, irreversibly, subversively and implacably hostile to every value we cherish in America.</p>

<p>Muslim immigrants bring with them a totalitarian ideology whose holy book calls for the followers of Allah to “slay the idolaters wherever you find them” (Sura 9:5). The more devout a Muslim becomes, the more likely he is to obey such a command, as Tamerlan Tsarnaev illustrates, and the more of a threat he becomes to the security of the United States and the safety of the American people.</p>

<p>When I first began calling for an end to Muslim immigration in 2009, I was virtually a lone voice crying in the wilderness. But Andy McCarthy has since called for the suspension of immigration from Muslim majority nations, and Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy has called for precluding “shariah-adherent Muslims” from our shores, in a fashion similar to our post WWII ban on immigrants who adhered to communist ideology.</p>

<p>Since the Boston Muslim Massacre, Laura Ingraham has called for a ban on Muslim immigration, and more significantly, John McCain just yesterday suggested restrictions on immigration from countries with a “significant influence of radical Islamic extremism.” Both Marco Rubio and Rand Paul have openly called for considering the suspension of student visas to Muslim males.</p>

<p>Suspending Muslim immigration to the United States is an idea whose time has come.</p>

<p>Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders, based on Europe’s bitter experience with virtually unrestricted Muslim immigration, has been calling for this for years, and imploring America to wake up and [smell the Sharia before we seal our doom].</p>

<p>Of course, the majority of Muslim immigrants do not want to kill us, but they are not the Muslims we have to worry about. The problem is we have no way of distinguishing the Muslims we do have to worry about from the ones we don’t. And we can’t watch them all.</p>

<p>Read more <a href="http://janmorganmedia.com/2013/05/suspend-muslim-immigration-muslim-military-service-building-of-mosques/">HERE</a>.</p></blockquote><br /></p>

<p>The operative sentence above is: "<em>The problem is we have no way of distinguishing the Muslims we do have to worry about from the ones we don’t.</em>"</p>

<p>Let me add that being able to distinguish moderate Muslims from the extremists is not the only problem, as I wrote in in my 2008 article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2008/03/how_to_differentiate_moderate_muslims_from_extremi.html">How to differentiate Moderate Muslims from Extremists</a>: <blockquote style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);"><p>Terrorists by themselves cannot live in isolation. They would be too easy to spot, their activities too easy to monitor, their plans too easy to discover. But put a thousand Muslims in an American city and you invite terrorists to come there. How would anyone be able to distinguish the lone terrorist from among the moderates? One cannot. Money, food, lodging, and support, all these things would now be available to him from those who are not terrorists themselves but are sympathetic to his cause.</p></blockquote><br /></p>]]></description>

         <title>Islam Will Never Reform</title>
         <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:justify;"><span style="float:left;color:darkgreen;font-size:70px;line-height:56px;padding-top:1px;padding-right:5px;font-family: times;">I</span> have many times maintained that the evils committed by Muslim extremists are not due to some misapplication of the instructions in the Quran but rather to its correct interpretation. Many Muslims would have us believe that only a teeny, tiny, infinitesimal fraction of Muslims believe in violent jihad or the stoning of women or the killing of apostate Muslims or in a world Caliphate; that it's just a handful of whacked-out tiny minority who have hijacked their religion.

<p>As I wrote in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2013/01/2013_and_15_billion_souls_still_imprisoned_behind.html">2013 And 1.5 Billion Souls Still Imprisoned Behind the Crescent Curtain</a>, "[Muslims] <em>ascribe any evils committed by fellow Muslims as done by outliers, people who are distorting the ideals of Islam</em>."</p>

<p>But is it just outliers? A recent world-wide survey has found that a substantial minority of Muslims in many counties view attacks against civilians as a legitimate means to defending Islam against its enemies, believe in honor killings, that apostates should be executed, etc. - that's hundreds of millions of Muslims, not just a tiny fraction, believe in the same things as Muslim terrorists <a href="#fn1" name="_fn1" ><font color="green">(1)</font></a>.</p>

<p>Some of my readers may pooh-pooh the significance of these high numbers by saying that the Muslims of Afghanistan and Pakistan may be excused for their opinions because they are poor and ignorant; I'm sure Liberals believe that 99% of the Muslims in America do not support terrorists. Ah, Liberals, wrong as usual: in the Pew Research poll cited above we discover that about one-third of Muslim Americans either hold a favorable view of al-Qaeda or are not convinced it's a even terrorist organization.</p>

<h2>Moderate Muslims are a Threat</h2>

<p>But let us ignore the polls and surveys - let us suppose that 99.999% of Muslims are just like you and me: let's suppose they don't believe in anything violent. Even if the vast majority of Muslims in our country never read the Quran and were brought up as decent human beings they would still be a threat to our way of life. Let me explain why this is so.</p>

<p>If there were no Muslims in America, there would be no hiding places for Muslim terrorists. No one to arm them, fund them, or help them carry out acts of destruction. The problem with moderate Muslims is that they are afraid of Islamic extremists and so the extremists control the community. This is the reason that you don't see thousands of moderate Muslims demonstrating against the actions of extremists. This is the reason that Islam, after 1400 years of slavery, tyranny, misogyny, stonings, amputations, beheadings, and other evils has not gone through a reformation. Those who suggest reform are usually killed.</p>

<p>2,000 years ago, Jewish lawmakers abrogated almost every brutal, savage, and draconian punishment in the Old Testament. Despite what you read in the Old Testament, since then, no Jew has been executed for not observing the Sabbath or for committing adultery or any other former Capital offense. </p>

<p>But Muslims will continue to execute their fellow Muslims who convert to Christianity for the next million years. They will continue to Honor kill their daughters, sisters, wives, and other female folk for adultery or suspicion of adultery. The reason is simple: the extremists accuse reformists of apostasy and usually kill them; for example, we recall the execution of Mahmoud Mohammed Taha <a href="#fn2" name="_fn2" ><font color="green">(2)</font></a> and the assassination of Farag Foda <a href="#fn3" name="_fn3" ><font color="green">(3)</font></a>.</p>

<p>That nice, friendly, moderate Muslim coworker you see in your office; the nice, friendly, moderate Muslim filling your gas tank; the nice, friendly, moderate Muslim serving you coffee at the Dunkin Donuts, will one day be afraid to be nice, friendly, and moderate. </p>

<h2>Things will only get worse in the Muslim world</h2>

<p>Moderates will one day be forced to be devout. The devout will one day be forced to be extremists. As I wrote in my article <a href="http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2010/11/muslim_sexual_harassment_in_egypt.html">Muslim Sexual Harassment in Egypt</a>, "<em>In 1958 no Egyptian women wore the veil and now ... the veil is 'worn by more than 89 percent of Egyptian women from the ages of 15 to 29.</em>'" And Egypt is called a <strong>secular</strong> country?</p>

<p>Without a strong secular dictator, Muslim countries will only become more extreme. 40 years ago, women in Afghanistan could walk like human beings. Then devout Muslims took control of the country.</p>
