Turkey Today: Three Christians Tortured, Then Murdered

It Was All An Islamic Misunderstanding



On April 18, 2007, 5 Muslims who proclaimed they wanted to convert to Christianity, met with 3 German and Turkish Christians. In order to prepare themselves for the Bible Study, they decided to bring with towels, guns,table knives, a hunting knife, and rope. All were devout Muslims, going to the local Mosque and in communication with the local friendly Imam.

Apparently they were under the impression this was a show-and-tell session, when they could describe the idiosyncrasies of Islam, prior to their instruction in the Bible.



They then proceeded to tie up the three men into chairs. They then arranged them in a circle. First they cut off the genitals of one, showed it to the others, then chopped it into pieces and stomped one it. They did this to all three in turn. Then they disemboweled one after the other and cut the intestines into pieces. They then slit the rectum of each man in turn.

Then took turn stabbing them.

Three Christians sadistically tortured and finally murdered


ICC then continued to describe the nature of the torture, which included disembowelment, emasculation, and the slicing open of various orifices.

“Tilman was stabbed 156 times, Necati 99 times and Ugur’s stabs were too numerous to count. Finally, their throats were sliced from ear to ear, heads practically decapitated,” ICC reports. According to Christian Today. This went on for 3 hours. Of course we do not have to take their word for it. The perpetrators conveniently filmed it, sound and all.




But it turn out it is all a misunderstanding. While someone injured these infidels, no-one of the five did. In fact they did not go to do harm at all. OK, one of them did--just one--but they all point to each other.

So the Turkish officials are hopelessly confused. I mean would one of these Gentlemen lie? O

f course not. At the 5th pre-hearing, that is right, the 5th.

Remember those video recordings? Apparently the Turkish authorities are hoping you don't.

"I didn't kill anybody, I just hit them" said the ring leader, who happens to be the son of the local mayor.He said that one of the others hit one of infidels, and maybe slashed a bit. But he is suffering a debilitating memory loss. He was injured in his escape attempt, and is someone forgetful The other four sort of remember more involvement on the part of the Mayor's little boy, an aspiring politician if there ever was one.

But all agree on two things. One is that the infidels deserved it.

At some point in time, presumably after the torture began, one of them blasphemed Islam by praying to Jesus. Secondly, the Turkish prison is inhumane because they are in solitary confinement and are having trouble sleeping with lights on.

As to the latter point, one of the mothers of the victim pointed out that what was done to her son was inhumane.

She was told to "shut up".

Military Recruiting Goals Maxed, Solar Bras and Islamophobia Observatory Launched

CULTURE WATCH, Volume 15
by Nancy Morgan



'The British are coming, the British are coming!' Remember those historic words? Well today, one can substitute the word Muslims for British and it would be just as appropriate. As all eyes are on Iraq, we are at risk of being conquered from within. To wit:

A project called the Islamophobia Observatory has been launched (by Muslims) in order to "eliminate the world-wide waves of fear of Islam." Another Muslim group has taken it upon themselves to enlist armies of paid workers in order to deliver an English copy of the Quran to every American doorstep.

Palestinians are participating in our political process by launching a phone bank for Obama. This comes as no surprise as Obama's sympathies are clearly in their court. As evidenced by his latest statement that Israel is a "constant wound' and a "constant sore" that "infects all of our foreign policy." Lovely.

On the home front, the Pentagon has dropped charges against a Saudi at Guantanamo who was alleged to have been the "20th hijacker." Meanwhile, an investigation has revealed that a radical Muslim paramilitary compound is flourishing in upstate New York and an American soldier has given free rein to his inner-self by publicly declaring he has the strength and resolve to declare to the military that "this soldier will not be deployed to Iraq." Speaking of narcissistic cowards brings to mind our:

GOVERNMENT IN ACTION:

The Senate voted overwhelmingly to approve a five-year $307 billion, veto proof, farm bill. Besides containing enough pork to stop Islam in its tracks, this bill continues the obscene subsidies to farmers. Our tax dollars are used to pay farmers (rich corporations) NOT to grow food. And you wondered why food prices are spiralling. Go figure.

As the Dems cry crocodile tears, vowing to take action on the rising gas prices, behind the scenes they are doing everything they can to keep it going. I covered this issue in depth in, 'Crocodile Tears and Cow Farts.' Before we suffer a severe attack of reverse peristalsis, what say we get to the

GOOD NEWS:

Sending Democrats into a severe depression was the news that construction of new homes posted the biggest increase in two years, a whopping 8.2% increase. Applications for new building permits also turned upwards.



The US has topped world competitiveness ratings for the 15th straight year. As in, We're Number 1! (Can I say that?) Speaking of number 1, all our military services met or exceeded their monthly recruiting goals in April, with the Marines signing 142% of the numbers it was expecting. God continues to bless America.

Their is a definite trend toward enforcing our immigration laws, finally. Latest news: Iowa staged the largest immigration raid in their history, arresting 300 people at an Iowa meat packing plant. A likely result will be the minimum wage in Iowa going up - without the liberals mandating it. Its called 'market forces.'

University of Colorado at Boulder Chancellor Peterson plans to raise $9 million to create an endowed chair for what is thought to be the nation's first Professor of Conservative Thought and Policy. Finally, a token conservative.


TV viewership continues to slide. The old media, ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC had nearly 9 percent fewer viewers in April and May than during the same period a year ago. Cry me a river.


CULTURE:

In a giant leap towards designer babies, scientists have, for the first time, genetically altered a human embryo. In another first, it appears that more than half of all insured Americans are taking prescription medicine regularly for chronic health problems. Not surprising as more and more life experiences are now being labelled 'syndromes'.

California's top court has overturned the voter-approved ban on gay marriage and a new study in Norway suggests that every fourth child of parents who receive welfare end up on welfare themselves.

ESSENTIAL TRIVIA:

RightBias is in the process of launching a new page entitled Essential Trivia, which will relay all the weird and trivial news we love so much, such as:



Japan has launched a 'solar-powered' bra that can generate enough power to charge a cell phone or iPod. Continuing with our obsession with breasts, 'Dermatologist To The Stars', Dr. Patricia Walker recently began giving botox injections in the breast as a quick fix for woman who want to 'non-invasively' give their breasts a lift. Another high for California.

The world's fattest man has decided to set a new world record for losing weight. Go picture that.

From the Aren't They Stupid files we bring you a video that will appeal to the schadenfreude in all of us. Top Ten Angry On-Camera Meltdowns. I wonder why we feel better after seeing someone else making an ass of themselves.

IDIOTS Of THE WEEK:

Second prize goes to a Swiss man who died in a fall from a hotel balcony. He was engaged in a spitting contest with a friend and decided to get an edge.

First prize goes to a Fort Worth man who was drinking beer and playing poker at 3 a.m. He used a gun to scratch an itch on his back and, well, you know what happened next.

If that's not enough to make you smile, watch out. You might be turning into a liberal.

Till next Monday,

New Second Amendment Forum: The Right of the People



DBKP announces the opening of its new Second Amendment forum, moderated by RidesAPaleHorse.
DBKP Forum: The Right of the People



This bears repeating...

Article [II.]
"A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

The Second Amendment

The Second Amendment guarantees: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

This guarantees a citizen's right to keep and bear arms for personal defense. The revolutionary experience caused our forebears to address a second concern -- the ability of Americans to maintain a citizen militia. The Founding Fathers trusted an armed citizenry as the best safeguard against the possibility of a tyrannical government.

James Madison, author of the Second Amendment, wrote that Americans had "the advantage of being armed," that was lacking in other nations, where "the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms." Patrick Henry proclaimed the "great object is that every man be armed. . . . Everyone who is able may have a gun." The Second Amendment was then, as it is today, about freedom and the means to protect it.

In United States v. Miller, 307 U.S. 174 (1939), the Supreme Court refused to take judicial notice that a short-barreled shotgun was useful for militia purposes. Nowhere did the court hold that an individual does not have a right to keep and bear arms. In United States v. Gomez, 81 F.3d 846, 850 n. 7 (9th Cir. 1996), Judge Kozinski opined that "The Second Amendment embodies the right to defend oneself and one’s home against physical attack." In United States v. Hutzell, 217 F.3d 966, 969 (8th Cir. 2000), the court held that "... an individual's right to bear arms is constitutionally protected, see United States v. Miller ...." In United States v. Emerson, 270 F.3d 203 (5th Cir. 2001), the court examined United States v. Miller and held: "We reject the collective rights and sophisticated collective rights models for interpreting the Second Amendment. We hold, consistent with Miller, that it protects the right of individuals ... to privately possess and bear their own firearms ...."

The U. S. Supreme Court has recently recognized the Second Amendment as an important individual right. Planned Parenthood v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992); United States v. Verdugo-Urquidez, 494 U.S. 259 (1991).

On December 17, 2004, the U.S. Department of Justice published an exhaustive Second Amendment memorandum. It concludes without reservation that "the Second Amendment secures a personal right of individuals, not a collective right that may only be invoked by a State or a quasi-collective right restricted to those persons who serve in organized militia units."
--2004 Memoranda and Opinions





The Founding Fathers distrusted a government that wouldn't trust its people. To fulfill the promise of the Declaration of Independence, the authors of the U.S. Constitution and its Bill of Rights made it clear that individual rights were paramount. The Bill of Rights, wrote Madison, was "calculated to secure the personal rights of the people."

Some claim that banning only certain firearms does not constitute an infringement of Second Amendment rights. That measured ploy is not new. George Mason exposed it at Virginia's constitutional convention in 1788: "[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man . . . to disarm the people; that it was the best and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly, but weaken them, and let them sink gradually."

Our founders risked their lives to create a free nation, and they guaranteed freedom as the birthright of American citizens through the Bill of Rights. The Second Amendment remains the first right among equals, because it is the one we turn to when all else fails.

Mens Fitness Names Obama One of 25 Fittest Guys

Obama One of America's "25 Fittest Guys"?
No, seriously...



Men's Fitness Magazine has just announced that it's May 19 issue will declare Barrack Obama among the 25 most fit men in America. Yes, you read correctly. The Smoking Gutter Ball is more hail than any marathoner, Olympian, professional or college athlete save the other 24 men of extraordinary physical condition. Why?

“It takes a certain stamina to endure months of 16-hour days in pursuit of the land’s highest office. Obama is not the first politician dedicated to fitness, but the Illinois senator starts every day with a morning workout, whether it’s machines at the hotel gym or a brisk 45-minute run. He’s also quit smoking. Obama can be excused for enjoying the occasional state-fair corn dog because he mostly stays away from fatty foods.

He’s also, as we’ve seen, a bit of a baller. Nicknamed “Barry O’Bomber” for his jump shot, the former high school hoopster now releases stress during pickup games—-including one on every primary day.

“He’s wiry-looking but actually pretty strong,” former Duke player and Obama staffer, Reggie Love, has said. “And he hates losing. He plays hard.”

Now that we know.

That is right. The waffles were but a passing abnormal breakdown. The famous supersized omelet with potatoes (Hey, is that an 'e' in potato?) and ham, but your mere imagination.



The rarity of the treat likely explains the gusto with which he devours that sugary lemonade.

But, whoa,



And those 45 minute runs?

That is about 15 minutes longer than a beginners run. And hardly impressive.



50% of Americans exercise daily. President Bush has a resting pulse in the 50's. He does far more than a brisk run, being an avid trail rider. I wonder what Barry's pulse rate, blood pressure, trigycerides etc are? That is far more telling than anecdotes about his ability to turn down a second corn dog.

Wife Who Dumped Spouse in Acid Vat Sentenced to Life Without Parole

Larissa Schuster




In what can only be described as an heinous attempt to get rid of an estranged spouse, biochemist Larissa Schuster was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after she was found guilty in the murder of her husband.

The details are gruesome: The 47-yr.-old Schuster and a former lab assistant, James Fagone, murdered Schuster's estranged spouse, Timothy Schuster, back in July of 2003. The two immobilized Schuster with a stun gun then slapped a chloroform-soaked rag across his face. Schuster's feet and hands were bound, then the horror part: he was dumped, head first into a 55-gallon drum, where hydrochloric acid was poured over him while, prosecutors claim, he was still alive.

Schuster's body was found days after he was reported missing in a storage unit rented by his wife. By then half of his body had dissolved, only the lower part, from the belt down, remained.

Schuster's wife was convicted under special circumstances because the prosecution proved she stood to make financial gain from her husband's death. They had been married nearly twenty years.

Larissa Schuster isn't an anomaly in the world of long term marriages where one partner murders the other for financial gain. In hindsight, the biochemist had less to lose settling financially with her husband instead of murdering him by way of an acid vat.

Schuster joins the ranks of other professionals who, rather than splitting up the martial property, terminate their long-term partner.

The Prominent Allergist

Dr. Dirk Greineder capivated CourtTV audiences during his trial with his version of what transpired in a park near he and his wife's Wellesley home back in 1999. Greineder, a prominent allergist at Brigham and Women's Hospital, denied he was the one who murdered his wife while the two were out "for a walk".

Dr. Dirk Greineder

Greineder and his wife had been married for 31 years. The prosecution's theory was that Greineder's wife had discovered his stash of internet porn and his addiction to prostitutes. Greineder wasn't charged until after his wife's funeral where he described her as someone with an "intense personal responsibility and commitment" and "ethical bearing".

Touching Barred in Minneapolis Elementary School


In a bid to protect kids from being "touched aggressively", a Principal at an elementary school in south Minneapolis has banned all forms of "touching".

Principal Joan Franks of Armatage Elementary School sent out an email outlining the new "no touching" policy which forbids such activities as touch football and the game, Tag. Originally Franks forbid hand holding and hugging but has changed her rules to no more pushing, shoving, play-fighting and the game Tag.

Ironically the Minneapolis Public Schools has no such rule, it was Franks who took it upon herself to outlaw various forms of what she believes is "aggressive touching" behavior rather than to take each "touching" incident in a case-by-case manner and make outlaws out of kids who cross the "no-touching" statutes.

We wondered, what's the form of punishment for kids convicted under the "no-touch" policy?

Which kids will feel safer? The ones who won't be touched or the ones who will be punished for behavior that many rambunctious kids happen to ascribe to?

What will happen to these "coddled" classmates with supervisors willing to swoop in and "protect" them from playful shoves and an occasional push when they grow older?

With record numbers of kids overweight due to inactivity, this school has outlawed forms of play such as tag and touch football.

Aggressive touching is already considered a no-no and a punishable offense yet this Principal has made the decision that all the students must lose their right to all forms of touching. In order to solve a problem they're using a sledgehammer to swat a gnat.
