What is the best defensive pistol to carry?
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News on 17/Aug/2010 17:52
by Carteach
“A defensive carry weapon must work, must be there, and be big enough to do the job at hand.
My opinion? The largest reliable pistol you can carry, comfortably concealed all day, that is the way to go.

“Religious minorities in Indonesia push back
For months, Christians in the industrial city of Bekasi have been warned against worshiping on a field that houses their shuttered church. They’ve arrived to find human feces dumped on the land and sermons have been interrupted by demonstrators chanting “Infidels!” and “Leave now!”
But last week, tensions finally exploded.
Twenty worshippers were met by 300 Islamic hard-liners, many of whom hurled shoes and water bottles before pushing past a row of riot police. The mob chased down and punched several members of the group.
“The Batak Christians deserve to be stabbed to death,” yelled Murhali Barda, who heads the FPI chapter in Bekasi. “If they refuse to go home we are ready to fight.”
An argument broke out between Barda and three female members of the congregation. The hard-liners shoved and started punching them. All the while, men chanted from a truck and clerics made speeches saying “Leave. … We will not let you perform prayers here!”
Hard-liners have also become more violent, according to the Setara Institute for Peace and Democracy, a human rights group, which said there have already been 28 attacks on religious freedom in 2010, including everything from preventing groups from performing prayers to burning houses of worship.”
Colonel Allen West Answers a Marine’s Question
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Threat Watch on 16/Aug/2010 20:33
“The first thing you’ve got to do is study and understand who you’re up against. You must realize that this is not a religion that you’re fighting against. You’re fighting against a theo-political belief system and construct.
You’re fighting against something that has been doing this since 622 A.D. – SEVEN CENTURIES – thirteen hundred and eighty-eight years…
You need to get into the Koran, you need to understand their precepts, you need to read the Sura, you need to read the Hadiths, and then you can really understand: this is not a perversion, they are doing exactly what this book says.
Until you get principled leadership in the United States that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail, because we will never clearly define who this enemy is and understand their goals and objectives which is on any jihadist website and then come up with the right and proper objectives to not only secure our Republic, but to secure Western Civilization.â€
A Brit’s perspective on the Ground Zero Mosque
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Opinion, Threat Watch on 16/Aug/2010 20:21
“In case you haven’t heard, there’s a plan afoot to build a 13-story Islamic Center and Mosque a few yards from Ground Zero in New York – a plan that’s been enthusiastically welcomed by politicians and civic leaders, eager to show how tolerant they are (at other people’s expense)…
The organization behind this scheme is called the Cordoba Initiative, and the building is to be called “Cordoba House†and this is because Cordoba, or COR-doh-ba, is the city in southern Spain where Muslims built their first great mosque at the start of, and as a symbol of, their conquest of Spain.
The Ground Zero mosque is intended to serve the same purpose in America.
Building mosques on conquered sacred ground is standard practice – it’s what Islam has always done to assert its supremacy – and that is what’s happening here.
And of course they know how insulting it is, how offensive it is – are you kidding me? Why do you think they chose a site as close as possible to Ground Zero? Or do you think that that was just an accident?
And they also know that once it’s built it will be there forever, as a permanent affront to all Americans, gloating in triumph and a major bridgehead in the on-going stealth jihad.
That’s how the Muslim world will see it, and that’s how they’ll be encouraged to see it – and to be fair to them, that’s exactly what it will be, confirming what they always suspected: that America is a soft country, a decadent country, crippled by political correctness, confused and guilt-ridden, with no backbone and no pride.
They plan to open it next year, on September 11th – the tenth anniversary of the atrocity.
Is that tasteless enough for you? ”
