Schwab said the report aimed to be the first in an annual series which would monitor the state of Muslim-West dialogue and focus efforts by governments, businesses, religious figures and the media to improve relations.

[Клаус] Шваб [Председатель Экономаческого Форума в Давосе] сказал что это первый отчет в ежегодной серии. Его задачей будет мониторить текущее сотояние диалога меж Мусульманским и Западным [мирами] и при этом фокусировать внимание на позиции правительств, бизнесов, религиозных деятелей и СМИ, чтобы таким образом улучшать [общее взаимопонимание].

It found that Europeans, worried by immigration and a perceived Islamic threat to their culture, are alarmed at the prospect of greater interaction with the Muslim world.

Из отчета следует что европейцы оказались обеспокоены [мусульманской] иммиграцией, чувствуют исламскую угрозу для их культуры и встревожены перспективой еще больших [вскоре] масштабов взаимодействия [Европы] с мусульманским миром/

By contrast, a majority of people in the United States, Israel and the Muslim world felt more interaction would help.

C этим [тревожным настроем европейцев] контрастируют [настроения большинства] людей в США, Израиле и мусульманском мире, которые полагают что больших [масштабов их] взаимодействие [между этими двумя мирами] будет [взаимно] полезно.

"European populations surveyed are much more likely to believe that greater interaction between the Muslim and Western worlds is a threat than a benefit," the report said.

"Население Европы - согласно данным состоявшихся опросов - чаще склонно считать, что бОльших масштабов взаимодействие между мусульмансикм миром и Западом представлет собой скорее угрозу чем преимущество," - утверждается в отчете ["World Economic Forum - 2008"]

"...Although some might expect the United States, Israel and the Middle East to be more likely than Europe to be threatened by the 'other', the opposite is the case," the report said.

"... Хотя некоторые могли ожидать что [это именно] США, Израиль и [мусульманские] страны Ближнего Востока скорее чем [показным образом столь политкорректные всегда страны] Европы будут вопринимать "других" как угрозу, ровно противоположная тому ситуация на самом то деле имеет место," - указывается в отчете.

Two out of Three Serious Teenage Criminals are Immigrants.

THE HAGUE, 18/03/09 - Two out of three serious teenage criminals are children of parents born outside the Netherlands. In most cases, no prison sentence is imposed, it emerges from a study sent to parliament by Justice Minister Ernst Hirsch Ballin.

In the research, 447 case files of youngsters aged from 12 to 17 were studied. All the files involved cases in which the perpetrator was convicted of a crime for which the maximum jail sentence is 8 years or more. These were murder, manslaughter, robbery with violence, extortion, arson, public acts of violence and sexual crimes.

Only just over one-third (37 percent) of the convicted youngsters are white Dutch. Two-thirds are of immigrant origin, meaning that they themselves or their mothers were born abroad.

"The most prevalent group of youthful immigrants (among the perpetrators) are young Moroccans (14 percent)," according to the report. For another 14 percent, the parents' country of birth could not be determined. A further 8 percent of the young criminals came from Turkey, 7 percent from Surinam and another 7 percent from the Netherlands Antilles, 9 percent from the category 'other non-Westerners' and 4 percent, 'other Westerners.'

The report also reveals that most offenders did not have to go to jail. Although detention was imposed in 69 percent of the cases - whether or not in combination with community service - the sentences were largely suspended.

Some 25 percent of offenders only received suspended detention. Another one-third received a combination of suspended and real detention and just 11 percent, only an unconditional prison sentence.

Fourteen percent of the very serious crimes were committed by 12-13 year olds, 25 percent by 14-15 year olds, and 50 percent by 16-17 year olds. All very serious types of crime were more frequently committed by 16-17 year olds except sexual offences, for which the 14-15 year olds were the biggest group. Here, the 12-13 year olds also deliver "a large share compared with the other types of offences."

The core question in the study was how judges deal with youngsters aged from 12 through 17 who commit very serious offences. Hirsch Ballin concludes "that the courts can operate adequately with the sentences and measures that youth criminal law offer them. The study offers a nuanced picture of the handling of serious youth cases," according to the minister.

Pretty funny that Obama went on Leno to sell his budget and express “outrage” over AIG, and the headline out of it was that he insulted the Special Olympics. LOL.

Весьма забавно [было наблюдать] как Обама пошел к Leno (одна из самых популярных в США телеперелач) чтобы впаривать [телезрителям] его бюджет [очередной залп растранжиривания денег налогоплательщиков на идеологически премущественно левые безудержно траты] и [играть на публику его деланно] "возмущение" по поводу [многомиллионных "премиальных" руководству] AIG [которые только что получили многомиллиардный пакет "помощи" от казны], однако заголовки [ведущих СМИ] об том сообщали что он оскорбил [участников] Специальных Олимпийских Игр [которые специально проводятся для поддержания в себе присутствия духа некоторого типа инвалидов (intellectual disabilities)]...

A fearful thing, betraying Israel

---

Posted: March 20, 2009

One can really tell that the International Herald Tribune is the sister publication of the New York Times. Like the New York Times, the IHT never saw a liberal it didn't love or a conservative it didn't hate – or a fact its editors couldn't spin.

The Times generally uses the IHT as its international hit man, reserving its own pages to advance the policies of the Democrat Party.

The IHT ran a story entitled "Is Global Rebranding What Israel Needs?" The piece opened by recognizing Israel as the world's pariah state:

Its sports teams have met hostility and violent protests in Sweden, Spain and Turkey. Mauritania has closed the Israeli Embassy. Relations with Turkey, an important Muslim ally, have suffered severely. A group of top international judges and human rights investigators recently called for an investigation into Israel's actions in Gaza. "Israel Apartheid Week" drew participants in 54 cities around the world this month, twice the number of last year, according to its organizers. And even in the American Jewish community, albeit in its liberal wing, there is a chill.

Having established that everybody hates Israel (even liberal Jews), the columnist, Ethan Bronner, went on to build his case that Israel deserves it:

Of course, for Israel's critics, including those who firmly support the existence of a Jewish state, the problem is not one of image but of policy. They say that four decades of occupation, the settling of half a million Israeli Jews on land captured in 1967, the economic strangling of Gaza for the past few years and the society's growing indifference toward a Palestinian state are all reasons Israel has lost favor abroad, and that no amount of image buffing will change that.

Get the whole story of the left's love affair with evil in Glazov's new book, "United in Hate: The Left's Romance With Tyranny and Terror"

Does anybody remember how Israel ended up "occupying" the land it "captured" in 1967? Israel captured it after beating back the combined forces of the Arab world that had launched a war of annihilation against Israel. And this wasn't the first pan-Arab war aimed at annihilating the Jews – it was the third.

Israel fought them off in 1948. And again in 1956. And then again in 1967. And once again in 1973. This strip of land, so coveted by the Arab world, amounts to less than one-sixth of one percent of the Muslim Middle East.

While we're on the subject, does anybody remember what it was that spurred the Jews to return to their ancestral homeland in the first place? It was the Holocaust.

The Holocaust wasn't personally perpetrated by Adolf Hitler. Hitler never killed a single Jew. It was perpetrated by the Germans – aided by Frenchmen, Italians, Romanians, Ukrainians, Arabs, et al, while the Allies did their best not to notice.

The Palestinian State that the rest of the world insists that Israel owes the Palestinians could have been theirs in 1947. They turned it down in favor of a war of annihilation.

Does anybody recall exactly why Israel went back into Gaza? It was because Palestinian terrorists fired more than six thousand rockets into Israeli cities and towns.

The reason that Israel is a pariah nation has absolutely nothing to do with Israeli policies. Israel was a pariah nation before it even had time to formulate national policies. As already noted, long before there was an Israel, the world tried to exterminate the Jews.

After there was an Israel, the Arabs tried to exterminate the Jews. It isn't the Israeli state – it is the Jews that the world finds so offensive. But what has really caused this race of people to be so hated? This kind of racial hatred is unprecedented in history.

The true reason is this: Israel stands, as God intended, a sign to the nations. Israel was created as a visible proof of the true God's existence.

Israel's God of Love and mankind's redemption stands in sharp contrast to the gods of other religions. Islam's God is one of war and conquest. Conversion to it is at the point of sword. Its goal is to force the world into submission.

As the Bible declares, Israel was created to receive, write down and preserve God's Word. It was created to be the race through whom the Savior of the World would be born. Even their failures and disciplines were predicted in order that it would be a proof of the truth of God's Word. Their ultimate restoration to the land promised their forefathers was predicted in detail. These prophecies have been fulfilled before the eyes of our era.

All of this is lost on the liberal media, just as it apparently has been on the liberal Obama administration. The World Tribune reported this week that Israeli Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi cut short his visit to Washington after getting an "extraordinarily cool" reception from the new U.S. administration.

General Ashkenazi reportedly attempted to arrange meetings with President Obama, Vice President Biden and intelligence czars Bob Gates, Dennis Blair or Michael Mullen. None of them would see him. He had valuable intelligence information about Iran to share with them.

The Tribune quoted an unnamed diplomat who told them, "The administration is sending a very clear message to Israel, and this is we want to talk about Palestine and not Iran."

When an Iranian-made atomic bomb hits the U.S., they may wish they had never said this.

And Israel Today is reporting that the Obama administration is not just cool to Israel. It alleges that President Obama "is about to break America's long ties of friendship with Israel, and maybe even take steps toward the dissolution of the Jewish state."

If true, America is in even more serious trouble than even the most pessimistic assessment can reflect. If America betrays Israel, then America is rejecting the Word of Israel's God.

The Bible warns, "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31) Fearful? That is an understatement of Biblical proportions.

I used to quote a wise saying: "History teaches us that man learns nothing from history." That doesn't really apply today. This generation doesn't even know history – and the liberal media reports the news counting on that.

Hal Lindsey is the best-selling non-fiction writer alive today.

Если факты обсуждаемые в вышепомянутой статье в сам деле имели место - социальный статус автора вроде б не дает оснований в том сомневаться - то это, кроме прочего, означает, что руководство демпартии принимает решение идти на лобовое столкновение - выступить открыто и даже на  этот раз уже демонстративно против давно и хорошо всем в Америке известной позиции по БВ подавляющего большинства американских избирателей.

Ровно об этом кстати еще задолго до нынешних событий  говорил 'свои вещие' - как в очередной раз выясняется -  слова "Сантехник Джо" -  Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher. Он если кто еще помнит задал вопрос Обаме в период избирательной кампании (в одном из редких прямых контактов Обамы с избирателями), из котрого мир узнал что цель Обамы "перераспределение богатств"  - 'отнять и поделить'.

За то что у  Обамы с языка сорвалось в разговоре с тем "сантехником Джо"   признание - о социалистическом характере политических преобразований которые намемер он начать осуществлять в стране в случае своего избрания - на  Джо сразу обрушилась  вся мощь левых СМИ. Растоптать его попытались - и при том немедленно - как аналогичным же образом потом то же проделывали с Сарой Палин.

Однако Джо по-видимому от того лишь более внимательно стал присматриваться в Обаме и вскоре выдал "на гора" следующий свой политический  прогноз:

Obama vote means 'death to Israel'
Голосовать за Обаму означает [желать]  смерть Израилю

В самый пик корпоративной вечеринки внезапно погас свет и
металлический голос из развешанных по залу громкоговорителей объявил,
что свет починят минут за 20. Что оставалось делать?
Люди развлекались в темноте кто как и с кем может...

Потом в зале зажегся свет и тот же голос объявил:
а сей час в программе праздника коллективный просмотр
снятого в инфракрасных лучах видео-фильма
- "Что мы делали в темноте ..."

21 апреля 1983 года Политбюро ЦК КПСС одобрило предложение Совета Министров о постановке на производство на АЗЛК легкового автомобиля новой модели.

В 1982 году началась очередная реконструкция завода, вскоре получившая статус Всесоюзной ударной комсомольской стройки. Сделать предстояло многое: построить прессовый корпус № 2, механосборочное производства № 2 и № 3 — корпус двигателей. Прессовый корпус (65 тыс. м2) вошёл в строй в 1985 году, а на следующий год — МСП корпус механосборочного производства (127 тыс. м2). Одновременно за рубежом закупалось самое современное оборудование, в том числе неведомые ранее станки с числовым программным управлением (ЧПУ).

Автозаводцы считали реконструкцию своим делом, а потому поддержали инициативу руководства отработать по 5 дней на строительстве.

В сентябре 1986 года с конвейера завода сошёл четырёхмиллионный автомобиль «Москвич», в декабре 1998-го — пятимиллионный, им стал «Князь Владимир». Любопытно, что в сборке юбиляра принимали участие члены правительства Москвы и мэр Юрий Лужков.

Все ждали новый автомобиль. Все хотели его увидеть, покататься на нём, а если повезёт, то и приобрести. Пробная сборка первого «нулевого» автомобиля модели М-2141 на главном конвейере завода была произведена 12 февраля 1986 года, а 15 февраля с него сошёл установочный автомобиль под номером 000001.

Приближался XXVII съезд партии. В те годы существовала добрая традиция — дарить коммунистическим собраниям подарки. АЗЛК на этот раз было чем удивить. Шла сборка 2000 тысяч автомобилей 2141. В конце 1986 года началось его конвейерное производство. Сначала медленно, неуверенно. Главной моделью оставался «Москвич-2140». Последний автомобиль этой серии с номером шасси 818096 спустился с главного конвейера 8 июля 1988 года, на следующий день началась массовая сборка автомобилей М-2141 ...

Obama fires GM's CEO
March 29, 2009. BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

DETROIT---- Time and time again, General Motors Corp.'s board of directors reaffirmed its support for Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner, even as the company piled up billions of dollars in losses and begged for government loans to stay alive.

But Wagoner is now a high-profile casualty of government intervention, ...

Jeremy Anwyl, chief executive of the automotive Web site Edmunds.com, called the move "political theater" to appease an increasingly bailout-weary public...

By all accounts, Wagoner made progress in fixing GM. While CEO, he cut its U.S. work force from 177,000 to roughly 92,000 today.

The Master of Misdirection
How Obama maintains his popularity.
by Fred Barnes 04/13/2009, Weekly Standard, Volume 014, Issue 29

Obama fired GM president Richard Wagoner and at least half of the board of directors.

He picked the new president. He guaranteed the warranties on GM cars. He dispatched a White House team to Detroit to impose a new business plan and to negotiate with bondholders and union chiefs the terms of a managed bankruptcy.

On top of that, Obama advised GM and the other auto companies about the kind of cars they should be producing. Since auto executives remain in their jobs at Obama's pleasure, they aren't free to ignore his advice. Besides, he offered an incentive. He called on Congress to provide a "generous credit" to owners of old cars if they turn in their clunkers and buy "cleaner" cars.

Why wasn't Obama candid about his unprecedented action? He had good reasons. Bailing out auto companies, especially GM, is enormously unpopular. Better to pretend he's only tinkering.

By grabbing control of GM, he's able to advance his agenda of slowing the production of trucks and SUVs--without saying so. These are the vehicles people love, but his allies in the environmental movement regard them as evil.
