For time immemorial, the Arabs and Muslims have managed to base a substantial portion of their culture on people, places and ideas holy to the Jewish People and Israel…Fromk their claim to the Muslim “holiness” of Jerusalem to countless gravesites and Mosques, they steal the heritage of the Jews and claim it as their own…

This past November 29th, 2012, the Palestinian Authority chose to hijack the anniversary of the United Nations partition of Palestine, creating the Modern State of Israel and what should have been a palestinian State (which the Arabs refused to accept) and make it the day for their being declared a non-member observer “state” at the UN…

On today’s show:

The story of November 29, 1947…the ORIGINAL United Nations Resolution…

Why the recent UN activity is a dual violation of the Oslo Accords…originally intended to be the basis for peace between the Israelis and Palestinian Arabs…A look at the enormous laundry list of violations of Oslo by the Palestinian Authority, which, by all reasonable standards, should make the agreement null and avoid…

Also…How both Ehud Barak and Ehud Olmert gave the Arabs MORE opportunities for their Palestinian State…Which they summarily refused, as they did the first time, in 1947…

Plus…Happy Channukah…Especially to you guys in Miami Beach, who got to watch their menorah burn…almost literally, not to mention the anti-semitic statements posted on said menorah…

The implications of the election results in Egypt are disconcerting to Western lovers of freedom and secular democracy, to say the least, yet the leader of the world’s strongest Western democracy is supporting a government that represents the antithesis, the exact opposite of everything Americans hold near and dear to their hearts…the values and ideals of American secular democracy…

Spring festivals in the Jewish Homeland, Israel…

On today’s show:

The joy of a Jew living in our homeland, Israel…

Nothing quite brings it out like the Passover holiday season…Nothing reminds us more strongly just how lucky we are to be able to live here like celebrating Pesach in the Spring right here, in Israel…

From the joy of the seder night, to touring Israel’s National Parks and historic sites…

From the north of the country to the south…

And then, there’s Jerusalem…Walking the ramparts of the Old City…

or visiting the once-in-a-lifetime Ice City…

And nowhere else is the Priestly Blessing delivered more authentically…

All this is dependent upon Israel remaining the Jewish State…But because we are a secular, democratic Jewish State, all religions are free to celebrate their faith here, including the Christian Easter in Jerusalem…

The Left will have you believe that if we do not create a separate palestinian state, they will overwhelm the Jewish nature of Israel…This is simply not true, as I explain in today’s show (thanks to the wonderful work of retired ambassador Yoram Ettinger)

Israeli author A. B. Yehoshua made some interesting and controversial statements in a speech delivered last week in the U.S. He seriously questions the ability for some one to be a “complete” Jew while still living in the diaspora…A secular, but very Jewish point of view.

With more and more women in Israel covering themselves from head to toe in black burkas, it would be a good time to look at what this phenomenon is all about. What are the roots of female dress in Islam historically? How is this affected by modern fundamentalist interpretation of the Koran and other Islamic writings? What are the implications for Muslim women?…

And what about the small cult of “Jewish Taliban” that seem to be imitating the ways of Islam? Any basis in Jewish law for such uber-modest dress in Jewish women, married and unmarried alike?

A look at the history and current status of the cult of Jewish “Veiled Women”…

The results of early rounds in the Egyptian elections make it clear that the largest, most powerful Arab country in the Middle East is going to be run by fundamentalist Islamic jihadist parties. These parties clearly call for the Islamic Sharia Law to be the basis of Egypt’s yet-to-be-written constitution. By choosing as they did, the Egyptians follow the other countries in the region, Turkey, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, with Syria and Jordan soon to follow. Democratic choices, but does that mean they are right? Good?

Time will tell, as to the results, but the moral questions must be addressed by us, the products and supporters of Western-style democracy…the believers in and followers of the Judeo-Christian Ethic…

This edition of The Marty Roberts Show explores these questions. Marty also presents and documents the ideology and declared goals of the Muslim Brotherhood, both in North America and around the world…

On yesterday’s radio show,
(Click HERE to view the articles and listen to the show) I highlighted U.S. Secretary of State Clinton’s remarks in a recent speech. She expressed serious concerns over a small group of religiously observant Israeli Army soldiers unwillingness to listen to a group of female singers performing at an official army ceremony. Hillary is very concerned over the obvious degeneration of democracy and women’s rights in Israel highlighted by this event.

Tsk, tsk.

I guess training American Marines how to urinate, fart and defecate in a way that does not “offend” the religion of Islam is a sterling example of tolerance and democracy in action…

By the way, did you know that the meaning of the work “Islam” is submission???

US Marines ordered never to spit or urinate toward Mecca, the direction Muslims in Afghanistan face when they pray

US Marines: No Spitting Toward Mecca

Reprinted from Diana West

Gen. David Petraeus, Col. David Furness, and Shafiq Mubarak. Mubarak served as Furness’s “right hand” during a recent deployment. “I can’t do anything without him,” Furness said.

And who is Shafiq Mubarak? All I can find out is that he is a Pro Sol contractor (?) hired by the Marine Corps Center for Advanced Operational Culture Learning to help implement “the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, the winning of hearts and minds.” At least that’s how Col. Furness puts it. According to the North County Times, Mubarak didn’t come to the US until 2008 — from where the story doesn’t say — but has been working with US troops in A-stan “for much of the past decade.”

How is that? Why is that? Dunno. What the story does report is that Mubarak teaches the do’s and don’t's of sharia — kind of, Islam for Leathernecks.

Mubarak teaches US Marines:

Don’t spit toward Mecca.

Don’t urinate toward Mecaa.

Don’t sleep with your boots toward Mecca.

In other words, Mubarak teaches US Marines to become intensely sensitized to the whereabouts of Mecca, and to be guided by that magnetic North for Muslims as a matter of the most personal habits and hygiene — in accordance with sharia (Islamic law). This goes well, of course, with ISAF’s guidance to all troops to revere the Koran and its teachings.

What next, prayer rugs?

Mubarak told the North County Times:

“We can’t win just by fighting,” said Mubarak, who came to the U.S. less than three years ago after working with American forces in Afghanistan for much of the past decade. “Sitting with tribal elders, learning their problems and helping them is crucial.”

Crucial to what? Solving the problems of one set of tribal elders. Such problems, of course, are likely to differ from those of the next set of tribal elders, particularly when there is a blood feud, a la al-Hatfields and al-McCoys. Talk about tar babies. To coin a phrase: You Don’t Win Hearts and Minds by Losing Your Own.

Meanwhile:

Mubarak and Tremore spent hours walking troops through the nuances of meetings, or “shuras” with key local leaders. Both stressed the importance of those meetings. …

Mubarak taught the troops the proper way to sit during a shura. He told them they should plan on at least 30 minutes for an initial meeting, and that they should always finish their tea and eat any food presented.

And that includes all the intestinal parasites.

“If you don’t, that means to them that you don’t trust them, or think what they are giving you is poison or is unclean,” he said.

Mubarak also said the Marines should never spit or urinate to the west, the direction of Mecca that Muslims in Afghanistan face when they pray.

In addition, when sharing a base with Afghan army troops, Marines shouldn’t sleep with their feet pointed west, because that also is considered offensive, he said.

Afghan compounds of tribal elders are always neutral ground, Mubarak said. There is no need to wear protective vests, because the custom is that any person inside the compound will have the full protection of the Afghans who live there.

Mubarek said that when Marine Col. David Furness led Camp Pendleton’s Regimental Combat Team 1 during a recent deployment, Furness was able to win over 200 tribal families through shuras. What began as a violent deployment ended with little shooting, Mubarak said.

At what cost? That is, in exchange for what baksheesh, what edge over the next tribe, what amounts of money or local public works projects? We don’t know. How permanent this little piece of shura-peace is, we don’t know, either. But it all impressed Col. Furness, who gave a service award to Mubarak in June 2011 on behalf of the Regimental Combat Team – 1st Marines (RCT-1) CULAD. In the presence of Gen. Petraeus, Col. Furness said:

“General, this is my cultural advisor, Mr. Shafiq Mubarak. Mr. Shafiq is my right hand and I can’t do anything without him. Mr. Shafiq directly assists in direct engagements with Afghan leaders and political decision makers. He has been instrumental in the pursuit of the U.S. strategy in Afghanistan, the winning of hearts and minds.

Or, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.
