Islam at the Olympics

Since the jihadist bombing in Kashgar in early August, Islamists have not been prominently visible in the lead up to and in the early days of the Olympics. That should have been expected since the Communist Chinese officials, like all totalitarians, have no tolerance for other totalitarians expressing opposition to their power. After this violent act of defiance, a brutal crackdown by the Communists on the Mohamedans was a given. One need only look back at how quickly and thoroughly the fascist regimes in Italy, Germany and Spain in the 1930s rounded up Marxists to be imprisoned and executed. Fascists, Marxists and Islamists share totalitarian tendencies but are fiercely jealous and antagonistic toward each other.

Communist crackdown may not stand as the sole reason why jihadis have not yet disrupted the Olympic Games. Perhaps the jihadis have been bored into catatonia after viewing such insipid events as competitive walking and synchronized men's diving. Maybe the jihadis have been too aroused by images of female athletes' uncovered hair or faces to plot violent responses. It must be difficult to build a car-bomb with a perpetually vertical minerette poking through one's man-dress.

A round of applause is due to NBC for its commentator's remark during the parade of nations. One of them pointed out the glaring absence of ANY women on the Saudi Arabian team. The commentator also mentioned the prohibition on women driving or leaving home without permission from a male family member. The Islamists certainly do not want women to become physically fit or gain self-confidence. They might actually resist being beaten, much to Allah's displeasure.

Speaking of women, will NBC commentators point out the rags wrapped around the heads of the three Iranian women competing in archery, rowing and taekwondo. Olympic rules clearly forbid athletes from making religious statements during competition, including wearing of items that displays religious sentiment. Hopefully, for their sakes, their head-coverings remain tightly secure so that no strand of hair becomes visible. No athlete should experience a flogging as part of the return home after the Games.

Boycott Tyson Foods Inc.

On August 1st, Debbie Schlussel highlighted the latest case of pandering to Islamists by an American corporation. This outrage was exposed on her website, debbieschlussel.com, and is recounted at http://www.t-g.com/story/1449487.html.

Tyson Foods Inc., replaced an American civic holiday, Labor Day, as one of the paid days off work for its employees. Eid al-Fitr, an Islamic observance, will replace Labor Day. With this decision, Tyson Foods Inc. has demonstrated its preference for a day commemorating the fabrication of the verses which were later compiled and called the Koran. This book is cited by Mohamedans as justification for polygyny, violence toward women, oppression of Jews and Christians, execution of rape victims and numerous other injustices. The day celebrating the industriousness of Americans fell victim to Sharia-creep.

On August 8th, Tyson agreed to restore Labor Day as a paid holiday yet also keep Eid al-Fitr as a paid holiday. Tyson is attempting to save face with the restoration. However, it does not negate the acquiescing to Islamists' demands. More information on the issue can be read at http://www.t-g.com/story/1451367.html. Sharia-creep took two steps forward then one step back. However, the fact remains that Islamists ended up with one more step toward Sharia when the dust settled in this dispute. That one step needs to be forced back as well.

Therefore, we request that all freedom-loving individuals boycott Tyson's products. Also, we ask that you contact the corporation to express your opposition to this decision. Please explain to these panderers that you will not purchase their products as long as they continue to kowtow to Islamists.

Tyson Foods Inc. can be contacted in a few different ways.

• the postal address
  

Consumer Relations CP631
2210 West Oaklawn drive
Springdale, AR 72764-6999

• the corporation website at http://www.tyson.com/Recipes/CustomerService.aspx.

• customer relations telephone number, 1-800-233-6332

Please spread the word far and wide. Tyson must understand that there are most Americans that still value hard work, not totalitarianism. That sentiment extends to which days we choose to celebrate.
