America, What Have You Wrought? It's November or Never

Snap out of it! The Democrats stand in opposition to every basic American idea and principle.

The left hates you. Take back our country from the moochers, looters and destroyers. It's two minutes to midnight.

The Religious War

Steven Simpson pens an excellent piece in the American Thinker explaining the true nature of the impending world war. The "Arab-Israeli" conflict is an Islamic narrative, taqiyya (deception), to inflame the world and incite hatred against the Jews.

It is not an Arab-Israeli anything. It is Islam's 1,400-year-old and continuing war against the Jews. That is the objective reality. For more on this compelling history, read Bat Ye'or, the world's leading scholar on Islamic antisemitism.

Why Islam Will Never Accept the State of Israel American Thinker

It is a common belief that the "Arab-Israeli conflict" is a conflict of two peoples fighting over the same piece of land and is therefore one of nationalism. Rarely, if ever, do we hear or read of the religious component to this conflict.

However, if anything, the conflict is more of a "Muslim-Jewish" one than an "Arab-Israeli" one. In other words, the conflict is based on religion -- Islam vs. Judaism -- cloaked in Arab nationalism vs. Zionism. The fact of the matter is that in every Arab-Israeli war, from 1948 to the present, cries of "jihad," "Allahu Akbar," and the bloodcurdling scream of "Idbah al- Yahud" (slaughter the Jews) have resonated amongst even the most secular of Arab leaders, be it Nasser in the 1950s and 1960s or the supposedly "secular" PLO of the 1960s to the present. Indeed, the question must be asked: If this is really a conflict of different nationalisms and not Islamic supremacism, then why is it that virtually no non-Arab Muslim states have full (if any) relations with Israel?

There is a common Arabic slogan that is chanted in the Middle East: "Khaybar, Khaybar! Oh Jews, remember. The armies of Muhammad are returning!" It would be most interesting to know how many people have ever heard what -- or more precisely, where -- Khaybar is, and what the Arabs mean by such a slogan. A short history of the Jews of Arabia is needed in order to explain this, and why Islam remains so inflexible in its hostile attitude towards Jews and Israel.

Until the founder of Islam, Muhammad ibn Abdallah, proclaimed himself "Messenger of Allah" in the 7th century, Jews and Arabs lived together peacefully in the Arabian Peninsula. Indeed, the Jews -- and Judaism -- were respected to such an extent that an Arab king converted to Judaism in the 5th century. His name was Dhu Nuwas, and he ruled over the Himyar (present day Yemen) area of the Arabian Peninsula. In fact, it is most likely that the city of Medina (the second-holiest city in Islam) -- then called Yathrib -- was originally founded by Jews. In any event, at the time of Muhammad's "calling," three important Jewish tribes existed in Arabia: Banu Qurayza, Banu Nadir, and Banu Qaynuqa.

Muhammad was very keen on having the Jews accept him as a prophet to the extent that he charged his followers not to eat pig and to pray in the direction of Jerusalem. However, the Jews apparently were not very keen on Muhammad, his proclamation of himself as a prophet, or his poor knowledge of the Torah (Hebrew Bible). Numerous verbal altercations are recorded in the Qur'an and various Hadiths about these conflicts between the Jewish tribes and Muhammad.

In 628 A.D., Muhammad turned on the last Jewish tribe, the Qurayza, claiming that they were in league with Muhammad's Arab pagan enemies and had "betrayed" him. Muhammad and his army besieged the Qurayza, and after a siege of over three weeks, the Qurayza surrendered. While many Arabs pleaded with Muhammad to let the Qurayza leave unmolested, Muhammad had other plans. Unlike expelling the Qaynuqa and Nadir, Muhammad exterminated the Qurayza, with an estimated 600 to 900 Jewish men being beheaded in one day. The women and children were sold into slavery, and Muhammad took one of the widows, Rayhana, as a "concubine."

You know the drill. Read it all.

Outrageous! Obama's Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism Fights Imaginary Islamophobia

“How strangely will the Tools of a Tyrant pervert the plain Meaning of Words!” Samuel Adams

It took Obama close to nine months to name a replacement for his removal of Gregg Rickman from the position of envoy to monitor and combat antisemitism. Leave it to Obama to name a Jew who hates Jews as much as he does: Hannah Rosenthal.

Imagine this: his anti-semitism envoy is busy fighting imaginary "islamophobia," as if wanting to defend yourself from Islamic terror and Islamic supremacism is a defect or "discrimination."

9.3% of Islamic Scriptures (Koran, Hadith and Sira) consists of hatred against Jews, and that hatred surpasses Mein Kampf (which has 7% devoted to Jew-hatred).

Check out these graphs, charts showing the extent of hatred in Islam. (hat tip Hiatay)

Hannah Rosenthal, traitor to the Jewish people, utters not a word about the virulent Jew-hatred and genocidal rhetoric in the Koran in her remarks made to the OSCE -- examples here. Nor does she mention the despicable blood libels against Jews taught in madrassas across the world.

The following is a statement made by Hannah Rosenthal, Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, on combating discrimination against Muslims.

Combating Intolerance and Discrimination Against Muslims

Session 1: OSCE High-Level Conference on Tolerance and non-Discrimination

Astana, Kazakhstan

June 29, 2010

---

Mr. Moderator,

As the United States government’s Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Anti-Semitism, I would like to thank the OSCE and the government of Kazakhstan for hosting this conference and bringing attention to these important issues.

We welcome the opportunity to speak here today, as the problem of intolerance and discrimination against Muslims is an issue across the OSCE region. The United States strongly supports combating all forms of discrimination and intolerance against Muslims and is taking efforts to build mutual respect between people of all faiths. The U.S. government works continuously to ensure that person of all faiths, including Muslims, can freely enjoy the fundamental freedom of religion. We raise these concerns with our Allies, partners, and others – both within the OSCE and without. The U.S. Government’s Annual Report on International Religious Freedom addresses these concerns in detail within the OSCE region and around the world.

In the OSCE region, for example, the free practice of Islam is severely constrained in different ways – from overt prejudices to non-support for structures that allow religious observance. In some participating States, Muslim communities have great difficulty operating mosques not controlled or sanctioned by the state, sometimes resulting in problematic penalties for this activity. In some states, in fact, one can’t even build a mosque. In some states, registration systems often disproportionately burden small Muslim religious communities, and some countries’ legal systems ban personal religious expression—restrictions which inevitably limit freedoms we all hold dear.

But I am not here today to name and shame. Rather, I would like to talk about how the United States has changed its entire framework for engagement with Muslim communities, and for the need to move beyond mere tolerance to partnerships based on mutual respect.

Just over one year ago in a speech in Cairo, President Obama articulated the United States’ commitment to a new relationship with Muslims around the world based on mutual respect, mutual interest, and mutual responsibility; a shared commitment to universal values; and comprehensive engagement with governments and people alike.

The President pledged that the United States would make a sustained effort to engage people, as well as governments, and to listen. Since then, our government has worked tirelessly to fulfill this Presidential priority. The United States has held thousands of events and town halls with students, civil society groups, faith leaders and entrepreneurs in the United States and around the world. Secretary Clinton and I have also held roundtables, webchats, "townterviews," and town hall meetings to engage people worldwide, with a particular focus on engaging the next generation of Muslims around the world. Our engagement at this people-to-people level is becoming a matter of course, and what we have heard has informed our policy.

We recognize that there is not one Muslim community, but rather many different communities, each with their own nuances. Thanks to the internet and new technologies, those communities are now more interconnected than ever before. As we learned in Denmark, what happens in Copenhagen affects what happens in Kabul.

We are using the strength of the U.S. government to be a facilitator among and an intellectual partner with Muslim communities. We are bringing people to the table who do not usually come to the table. In particular, we are trying to reach out to the 45% of the world’s population that is under 30 – the youth of our societies – to build lasting partnerships for the long-term. And we are identifying the best ideas and matching them with each other and the resources they need.

Fulfilling the President’s vision requires a long-term effort, and there remains much to be done. While our framework may have changed, the urgency of anti-Muslim discrimination and greater engagement with Muslims everywhere has not.

And we cannot do it alone. We urge our allies and partners, and all participating States which are willing, to reach out and work with us towards our shared goals. Additionally, we continue to support the work of the Chair-in-Office Personal Representatives, High Commissioner on National Minorities, and ODIHR Tolerance Unit and welcome opportunities to assist their work in this area. I am very happy to be here in Astana today and look forward to the conference’s dialogue about our and others’ efforts to engage Muslim communities, to move beyond tolerance to mutual respect and understanding.

Later today, Special Representative Pandith and I will co-host a lunchtime session to launch our ART Initiative, promoting Acceptance, Respect and Tolerance. This is now taking place on the sixth floor. Six international NGOs -- representing Bosnia and Herzegovina, Georgia, Russia, Ukraine, the United Kingdom, and the United States – will share their organizations’ mandates and best practices to successfully combat intolerance, particularly among youth. The discussion will focus on new and innovative initiatives that pro-actively promote pluralism, and highlight best practices of NGOs with programs that advance Acceptance, Respect, and Tolerance. The overall goal of the ART Initiative is to present successful and easily adapted approaches to combat intolerance and discrimination by involving interfaith, inter-ethnic youth and young adults.
We will be circulating information from this side event widely – enhancing the message and encouraging others to use these best practices in their communities and countries. We will post the video on the Department of State website and will provide transcripts of the session to all OSCE governments and interested NGOs. We hope to build on this event in Astana and these best practices to expand the ART Initiative with new and more innovative examples in follow up meetings and conferences, working through interfaith and inter-ethnic activities and efforts.
To date, there have been over 10 OSCE events or conferences with a focus on anti-Semitism, and more than 10 publications focusing on issues ranging from monitoring and reporting on anti-Semitic hate crimes and Holocaust remembrance to hate crimes legislation and tolerance education. We are here in Astana today to build on this body of work and to promote tolerance and non-discrimination for all. The OSCE’s status as the world's largest regional security organization gives us the
platform to take a courageous stand. It is my hope that years from now, we will look back on this conference as a time when we seized the moment and met great problems with even greater resolve.

Jews cannot fight anti-Semitism alone. Muslims cannot fight Islamophobia alone. Roma cannot fight – alone. The LGBT community cannot fight – alone. And the list goes on. Hate is hate, but we can overcome it together.

May I invite all of you to join us at our side event right after this session.

Thank you, Mr. Moderator.

Botched Honor Killing in UK: Innocent couple murdered

As the West continues to bow and scrape to the sharia, honor killings continue to rise:

UK: Innocent couple dies in house fire in botched honor killing Jihad Watch

The honor murderers got the wrong house. In any case, here is yet more evidence of the broad tolerance for honor murders in Islamic communities in the West. "Innocent couple died 'after wrong house was fire-bombed in bungled honour killing,'" from the Daily Mail, June 29 (thanks to Ray):

An innocent couple died in a house fire at the hands of assailants who got the wrong address in a botched honour killing, a court heard today.

Abdullah Mohammed, 41, and his wife, Aysha Mohammed, 39, were overcome by smoke and fumes after an accelerant was poured through their letterbox and set alight.

Their killers were ordered by another man to avenge his family's honour but instead of firebombing 135 London Road in Blackburn, Lancashire, they started the blaze at 175 London Road, the court heard.

Mr Mohammed was found unconscious in his bedroom along with his wife and two of their three children in the early hours of October 21 last year.

He died the same night while his wife died a week later. Their 14-year-old daughter and nine-year-old son survived.

UPDATE: LS sent this in:

I read the news today oh boy
A botched honour killing in Blackburn, Lancashire
And though the fire was rather small
The smoke and fumes killed them all
Within a year we'll see minarets beside the Albert Hall.
I'd love to turn you in

Fire bombing was ordered by a radical Muslim to avenge something but the bomber got the wrong address. Two young Muslims were killed; their two children survived.

Moral of the story: just because you are an islamophobe doesn't mean your next door Muslim neighbor won't kill you. Or that that woman in a full length burqa isn't concealing a bomb. Or that your life isn't in danger if you are a Muslim critical of radical Islam. Or that your airplane or subway or bus or skyscraper office are completely secure. Or that the new mosque fifteen stories high above the 9/11 site isn't necessarily preaching the "religion of peace".

Anyone who isn't an islamophobe is crazy. Especially if you live in Europe, Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, central Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Philippines, Chechnya.......not to mention Israel,which is of course a lot safer than all these other places unless you live within reach of Hamas rockets or Hezbollah bombs.

Obama's Government Stonewalls on the Muslim Brotherhood Mosque in Staten Island

As part of Obama's ongoing campaign to assist the Muslim Brotherhood, which has infiltrated the senior levels of our government, in the islamization of America:

-- Even Staten Island’s congressman can’t get a straight answer from federal officials about the Muslim American Society, a national nonprofit Islamic organization.

Despite repeated requests to various federal agencies, Rep. Michael McMahon (D-Staten Island/Brooklyn) hasn’t heard a thing.

"Congressman McMahon has requested information from all the relevant agencies but, to date, our office has not heard back with any definitive responses," said Lauren Amendolara, McMahon’s communications director. "The congressman will continue to follow up on this matter." (more here)

America, we have a problem. And are going to have to overthrow these domestic enemies in November.

One point that must be made is that yesterday the media reported that roughly: 

50 people gathered on the steps of Borough Hall for an interfaith ceremony, at which nearly a dozen clergy of various denominations, along with representatives of advocacy groups, urged people to embrace an atmosphere of tolerance and openness.

"We recognize and understand the fear generated by the unfamiliar," a statement from the group said. "We confess our own fears, born of our own histories and prejudices. But we cannot allow these to go unchallenged by the civility and dialogue necessary for our communities to live in peace and harmony."

If the media said 50, then it wasn't more than 10. The media has proven itself unable to count, to tell the difference between millions of tea partiers and "a couple of thousand," or in the case of our ground zero no mosque protest, ten thousand people or "a couple of hundred."

What these "members of the clergy" fail to understand is that contrary to their belief, it is not "the fear generated by the unfamiliar," but the opposite. The people of Staten Island are very familiar with the Muslim Brotherhood, Islamic supremacism, the islamization of Europe, and the objective of the Muslim Brotherhood.

Compare the ten "professionals" who showed up in support of the Muslim Brotherhood mosque yesterday with the thousands at the town hall meeting and the protest last weekend. We the people, you clowns.

Since then, Father Fennessy wrote a statement withdrawing his support for the sale. He is among five members of the parish’s board of trustees, whose vote is the next step in determining whether the deal will go through, as stipulated in the contract.

No date has been set for the board to vote.

Jew-Hater, Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan blames Jews for Financial Ruin of Blacks

It is so difficult to publish this black nazism, because Farrakhan is a vulture, a vampire who drains the life out of the very people he claims to lead. He destroys and makes a meal of his own people. And he in no way represents decent, hardworking Black America.

Imagine if the American black community had the leadership of Martin Luther King instead of this devil who wants to keep his people uneducated, dependent, angry anti-individualists and anti-capitalists. He is the worst kind of demagogue, sacrificing his own to advance his own evil ambitions.

And Obama counts him as a friend. A White House in decay.

I have no intention of "proving' the deep love and affection and support that the Jewish people have had for the black community; nor will I cite our fight for civil rights for Black people in America. Throughout the twentieth century we fought, we died, we made it our politics to fight for equal rights for all.

Martin Luther King would spit in the face of Louis Farrakhan and kick him to the curb where he belongs with the rest of the filth. I pray that those who follow this sick and deranged demagogue see this vampire for what he is.

Perhaps this is the only way for a soulless, evil wannabee to get his sullied name into the papers.

Anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan blamed Jews for financial ruin of blacks.
Farrakhan claims Jews for centuries have worked to financially undermine Black people. The Washington Examiner via Gateway

Disgusting. Radical Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan sent a letter to Jewish leaders asking them to repair the damage they have caused blacks for centuries.
The Washington Examiner reported:

Nation of Islam Minister Louis Farrakhan has written the leaders of more than a dozen major U.S. Jewish groups and denominations seeking “repair of my people from the damage” he claims Jews have caused blacks for centuries.

Farrakhan sent the letter along with two books from the Nation of Islam Historical Research Team that the 77-year-old minister said prove “an undeniable record of Jewish Anti-Black behavior,” starting with the slave trade and Jim Crow laws.

“We could charge you with being the most deceitful so-called friend, while your history with us shows you have been our worst enemy,” he wrote.

Farrakhan has long accused Jews of wrongdoing in speeches, but he has rarely addressed Jewish groups so directly in writing.

The Anti-Defamation League, a Jewish civil rights group which distributed copies of the letter, said in a statement Tuesday that Farrakhan’s “anti-Semitism is obsessive, diabolical and unrestrained. He has opened a new chapter in his ministry where scapegoating Jews is not just part of a message, but the message.”

UPDATE: America- and Jew-Hater Farrakhan Endorses Obama Hussein Outright

KOS Polls Faked to Continue the Left's Destruction of America

The Daily KOS, along with the seditionists and destroyers of Media Matters, dictate the leftwing talking points of the day, and the left media, blogs, and news sites follow suit like lemmings. Groupthink by the commies. It is a war against America in the informational battle-space.

It is a constant brainwashing campaign against America, individualism, capitalism,  Republicans. And not to mention the fact that these websites host the most vile Jew-hatred found on the web.

The reality is that the left is a failure. We have decades of results of their failed policies, but facts are irrelevant. They rewrite history and rewrite reality. Send this to your KOS reading friends (if you actually hang with trolls like that) and watch them excuse the inexcusable.

Clarice Feldman has this at The Thinker:

Daily Kos is certainly one of the most popular left blog sites, so it is with interest that we learn that its pollster upon whom so much of its stories were based, was just making it up. From NRO: >{?>{? DailyKos Surveys Likely Bunk, May Have Been Fabricated [Daniel Foster]

DailyKos founder Markos Moulitsas has admitted that some or all of the surveys the site conducted through Research 2000 may be faulty - even fabricated:

I have just published a report by three statistics wizards showing, quite convincingly, that the weekly Research 2000 State of the Nation poll we ran the past year and a half was likely bunk.

Since the moment Mark Grebner, Michael Weissman, and Jonathan Weissman approached me, I took their concerns seriously and cooperated fully with their investigation. I also offered to run the results on Daily Kos provided that they 1) fully documented each claim in detail, 2) got that documentation peer reviewed by disinterested third parties, and 3) gave Research 2000 an opportunity to respond. By the end of last week, they had accomplished the first two items on that list. I held publication of the report until today, because I didn't want to partake in a cliche Friday Bad News Dump. This is serious business, and I wasn't going to bury it over a weekend.We contracted with Research 2000 to conduct polling and to provide us with the results of their surveys. Based on the report of the statisticians, it's clear that we did not get what we paid for. We were defrauded by Research 2000, and while we don't know if some or all of the data was fabricated or manipulated beyond recognition, we know we can't trust it. Meanwhile, Research 2000 has refused to offer any explanation. Early in this process, I asked for and they offered to provide us with their raw data for independent analysis - which could potentially exculpate them. That was two weeks ago, and despite repeated promises to provide us that data, Research 2000 ultimately refused to do so. At one point, they claimed they couldn't deliver them because their computers were down and they had to work out of a Kinkos office. Research 2000 was delivered a copy of the report early Monday morning, and though they quickly responded and promised a full response, once again the authors of the report heard nothing more...

Muslim Attacks two Jews, 22 and 18, in Berlin Disco

Islamic anti-semitism rages on.

Israelis, 22 and 18, attacked in Berlin

Two Israelis hurt at club in what police call an anti-Semitic attack. in a Berlin disco because of their nationality. The spokesman said the attack prompted the police to issue a statement terming the attack as “anti-Semitic.”

According to statements from two male Israelis aged 18 and 22, a Palestinian man was responsible for the assault. He asked the 22-year-old Israeli about his nationality, who replied that he is a citizen of Israel.

The Palestinian perpetrator choked the 22-year-old and punched him in the face. A Berlin police statement said that as the 18-year-old Israeli rushed to help his friend he was also struck by the Palestinian.

The assault took place in the Berlin district of Friedrichshain, a location popular among young Germans and Israelis for its lively bar and club culture.

The Palestinian fled the disco and tossed a beer glass at the 18-year-old Israeli. The police spokesman told the Post that the authorities are searching for the alleged assailant. In a bizarre twist, the disco's 43-year-old bouncer used pepper spray against the two Israelis,who eventually fled to their hotel and notified the police about the assault. The injured Israelis received treatment in a hospital.

The number of attacks on Jews in Germany has risen dramatically in June. Dr. Juliane Wetzel, a controversial member of a federally funded commission devoted to researching and combating anti-Semitism, prompted criticism by suggesting Israel is partially responsible for the attacks.

An Appeal to the Humanity of Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan

Perhaps Rauf and Daisy don't get to see the missives I receive by the hundreds from Americans suffering from the jihad attack on America. They need to know. They need to understand the pain. If they did, they would never build such a source of pain and grief.

Dear Pamela,

Thank you for the articles you have written about Ground Zero. I was a volunteer dog handler from California. My dog helped recover the remains of those who were murdered on 9/11. We were there for several weeks doing this work. Porkchop and I came home 
different people than we were before we were deployed. Life has been rough for us since that time. I have never been able to get over what I saw and dealt with while I was there. Every day I read or hear about this new project so close to GZ it feels like a hot sword is being plunged through my guts. I do not know what to do here in CA. I have cried every day since 9/11. I am just now starting to get more than two hours of sleep a night. Now that the travesty of this 13 story insult is being rammed down our throats I can look forward to more sleepless nights. When are we going to get my America back? When will the assaults on our freedom and liberty stop? I wish I could write more but I can’t stop the tears long enough to write to you any more today. Thank you for what you do. Keep up the good fight. I hope I get a chance to talk with you some day. Why does my heart hurt so bad?

Indonesia: Coalition of Nine Islamic Groups Unite to “Prepare for War Against Christianization”…

Photo: Weasel Zippers

The global jihad rages on.

Religion of peaceniks. I guess it all depends on what your definition of peace is. Perhaps Obama can help explain the definition. After all, this is the country of his youth. He did grow up on the streets of Jakarta, Indonesia. I wonder whose side he's on in this jihad .......... let's ask the Nepalese.

Indonesia: Nine groups of Misunderstanders of Islam threaten war over "Christianization" Jihad Watch

Enraged over rumors that Muslims have been baptized, a new coalition of nine Muslim groups is trying to mobilize every mosque in Bekasi -- numbering in the hundreds -- to go to war against the Christians. But surely the Vast Majority of Peaceful Muslims in those mosques will put a stop to this, won't they? Won't they? "Muslim Groups Talk War Over 'Christianization,'" by Ulma Haryanto in the Jakarta Globe, June 28 (thanks to Nicolei):

In a move that could add to already simmering religious tensions in Bekasi, a new group calling itself the Bekasi Islamic Presidium is planning a roadshow aimed at persuading every mosque in the city to prepare for the possibility of "war" against "Christianization."

The group, consisting of nine members representing different Islamic organizations in the city, was formed on Sunday, the last day of the Bekasi Islamic Congress at Al Azhar Mosque that was convened to address the so-called Christianization problem.

Among its recommendations is the formation of Islamic militant groups, or laskar, within each mosque and the drafting of Shariah-based policies by the Bekasi administration.

"All Muslims should unite and be on guard because ... the Christians are up to something," Mur­hali Barda, head of the Bekasi chapter of the hard-line Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), told the Jakarta Globe.

"Apparently they want to test our patience. We are planning to invite them for a dialogue to determine what they really want. If talks fail, this might mean war," he warned.

Murhali claimed that a certain Christian foundation had been relentlessly baptizing groups of people in the city, which has seen a number of religious conflicts in recent months.

"The last one was on Wednesday. A number of buses were seen dropping off people, some wearing jilbabs, at a house in Kemang Pratama district in Bekasi. When our people interrogated the security guard, he said they came from Jakarta and were there to be baptized," he said.

Fighting Moe Hood in the Hood

The Muslim Brotherhood is taking hold in neighborhoods everywhere. People are aware of who and what the Brotherhood is -- this is just the beginning. No sharia, no Islamic supremacism, not here, not ever.

In Brooklyn (Sheepshead Bay) this weekend -- coverage provided by Eye on the World;

The protest was organized by the Bay People Inc., the organization created by the people living in the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn, NY. Between 200 and 300 people showed up.

Part of the general view of the protest.

In 1994-1996, I used to live just a few blocks away from the place of the proposed mosque the construction of which is pushed by the MAS, the radical Muslim American Society, a front group for the Muslim Brotherhood, the organization which fathered Hamas and CAIR. Most of the area's residents are Italians, Jews and Russians.

One of the speakers at the protest said that according to the latest census, only around 400 Muslims live in this entire zip code, but the proposed mosque is meant for up to 1,500.

The Bay People Inc. hired a group of attorneys to help them fight the Islamization of the area, and according to one of the protest organizers, they have already won the first battle -- the construction of the minaret was banned.

Much more coverage here.

STATEN ISLAND EXCLUSIVE COVERAGE -- I received this exclusive from Lorraine, who commented, "Good showing again. I am forwarding these pictures under several emails to Pamela Geller. Please forward to her an update on the status."

FIGHT BACK.

Pamela Geller, Big Government: Dear Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan ............

Walk the walk and talk the talk. Build a real bridge.

Here's an excerpt from our appeal to Rauf's humanity, and "interfaith dialogue" -- but do read it all. Now.

I call upon your conscience, your goodness, your love of America, to move you to reconsider. More rallies will be staged — tens of thousands will show. People might get hurt in a sit-in trying to stop the ground breaking of a mosque looking down on Ground Zero. Why? In the interest of building bridges?

Can we talk about this? Can we discuss this? Can the building have a church and a synagogue as well as a  mosque? Or perhaps no mosque at all — much the way community centers like the 92nd Street Y or the YWCA, to which you have compared your plan, don’t have churches or synagogues.

As a man of the clergy, you must understand the pain this is causing for the victims who mourn their dead, for Americans who mourn their country’s losses ……..  You can not have wanted to create such sorrow.

What can we do to get you to withdraw this plan? Should we try to raise the money to release you from this tragic mistake? How can we help you? We want to work with you and do the right thing, build bridges and show each other mutual  understanding and mutual respect. As a religious man, you would never mean to cause such overwhelming sadness and grief.

Imam Rauf, please withdraw this plan and show the world real understanding and kindness and empathy.

Sincerely yours,

Pamela Geller

Please sign this appeal to the Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan. Let them hear us.

More Mohammedanism in the White House: Abandons 96% Nepal Hindus in Favor of 4% Nepal Muslims

Naomi Ragen writes, "In Nepal, a small mountainous country in the Himalayas, Muslims make up about 4% of the population. Hindus make up 80%. So of course the US government is reaching out to the Nepalese Muslims and only to the Muslims. Don't the vast majority of the Nepalese - who are 96% non-Muslim - count for anything? In what alternate universe are US policy makers living?"

DeLisi in mosque

KATHMANDU: US Ambassador to Nepal Scott H DeLisi said his country was committed to further engagement with the Muslim community in Nepal for cementing mutual relations and interests. Addressing a special event organised by Madrasa Islamiya School in Ghantaghar today, DeLisi said, "I am delighted that we have begun to build this relationship and I look forward to expanding our outreach programme in the months and years ahead."

Earlier, the US Embassy had organised the outreach programme for the country's Muslim community in December 2009, reaching more than 3,000 individuals in 19 areas. Stating that such contact between Nepali and US communities was a must to better know each other, DeLisi said he had served in Pakistan with a predominantly Muslim population.

"I have seen the strengths and challenges of Muslim communities first hand. Through our outreach, I hope to learn more and expand mutual understanding and partnership with the Muslim community in Nepal," he mentioned.

The outreach campaign was organised in collaboration with the Teacher Educators' Society, Nepal (TESON) to support dialogue with local Muslim communities, with whom the US Embassy historically had limited contact.

The US envoy said, "Our goal is not only to tell you about the United States but also hear from you about your challenges here. We know that we should understand your concerns and your hopes if we are going to be effective partners."

ADAMS: Inside the Black Panther case Anger, ignorance and lies Washington Times

On the day President Obama was elected, armed men wearing the black berets and jackboots of the New Black Panther Party were stationed at the entrance to a polling place in Philadelphia. They brandished a weapon and intimidated voters and poll watchers. After the election, the Justice Department brought a voter-intimidation case against the New Black Panther Party and those armed thugs. I and other Justice attorneys diligently pursued the case and obtained an entry of default after the defendants ignored the charges. Before a final judgment could be entered in May 2009, our superiors ordered us to dismiss the case.

The New Black Panther case was the simplest and most obvious violation of federal law I saw in my Justice Department career. Because of the corrupt nature of the dismissal, statements falsely characterizing the case and, most of all, indefensible orders for the career attorneys not to comply with lawful subpoenas investigating the dismissal, this month I resigned my position as a Department of Justice (DOJ) attorney.

The federal voter-intimidation statutes we used against the New Black Panthers were enacted because America never realized genuine racial equality in elections. Threats of violence characterized elections from the end of the Civil War until the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. Before the Voting Rights Act, blacks seeking the right to vote, and those aiding them, were victims of violence and intimidation. But unlike the Southern legal system, Southern violence did not discriminate. Black voters were slain, as were the white champions of their cause. Some of the bodies were tossed into bogs and in one case in Philadelphia, Miss., they were buried together in an earthen dam.

Based on my firsthand experiences, I believe the dismissal of the Black Panther case was motivated by a lawless hostility toward equal enforcement of the law. Others still within the department share my assessment. The department abetted wrongdoers and abandoned law-abiding citizens victimized by the New Black Panthers. The dismissal raises serious questions about the department's enforcement neutrality in upcoming midterm elections and the subsequent 2012 presidential election.

The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has opened an investigation into the dismissal and the DOJ's skewed enforcement priorities. Attorneys who brought the case are under subpoena to testify, but the department ordered us to ignore the subpoena, lawlessly placing us in an unacceptable legal limbo.

The assistant attorney general for civil rights, Tom Perez, has testified repeatedly that the "facts and law" did not support this case. That claim is false. If the actions in Philadelphia do not constitute voter intimidation, it is hard to imagine what would, short of an actual outbreak of violence at the polls. Let's all hope this administration has not invited that outcome through the corrupt dismissal.

Most corrupt of all, the lawyers who ordered the dismissal - Loretta King, the Obama-appointed acting head of the Civil Rights Division, and Steve Rosenbaum - did not even read the internal Justice Department memorandums supporting the case and investigation. Just as Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. admitted that he did not read the Arizona immigration law before he condemned it, Mr. Rosenbaum admitted that he had not bothered to read the most important department documents detailing the investigative facts and applicable law in the New Black Panther case. Christopher Coates, the former Voting Section chief, was so outraged at this dereliction of responsibility that he actually threw the memos at Mr. Rosenbaum in the meeting where they were discussing the dismissal of the case. The department subsequently removed all of Mr. Coates' responsibilities and sent him to South Carolina.

Islamic Charity = Financing jihad

Jihad is the highest peak of Islam.

To wit:

Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi stated, "There is no doubt that the status of jihad in Islam is unmatched. Jihad protects the Ummah: its religion, life, land, sanctity, independence, and sovereignty. Jihad protects the Ummah against its enemies and acts as its strong fort. Jihad makes heroes and prepares true men who sacrifice everything for the cause of Allah. Therefore, it is not surprising that jihad is the highest peak of Islam. Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Jihad is the highest peak of work' (At-Tirmidhi). Also, Mu`adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'The head of the matter [religion] is Islam, its pillar is Salah [Prayer], and its highest peak is jihad in the cause of Allah' " (At-Tirmidhi).

Much more here.

So where do you think islamic charity is going to go?

Missouri: Former director of Islamic charity pleads guilty, funneled money to jihad

creeping sharia

Remember, Obama and Holder promised to make it easier for Muslims to do this fulfill zakat. From Jihad Watch:

Yet another Islamic charity turns out to be an engine of the jihad. Note also the involvement of the dhimmi former Congressman. “Former director of Islamic charity pleads guilty,” by Mark Morris for McClatchy Newspapers, June 25 (thanks to Dr. A):

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The former director of a Missouri Islamic charity admitted in federal court Friday that he sent more than $1 million to Iraq in violation of U.S. sanctions.

Mubarak Hamed, 53, also pleaded guilty to conspiracy and a tax violation for misusing the charity’s tax exempt status and lying to the Internal Revenue Service.

Hamed served as executive director of the now-defunct Islamic American Relief Agency-USA from 1991 until October 2004, when federal agents raided the charity’s Columbia, Mo., offices and carted off truckloads of documents and computers.

The same day, the U.S. Treasury Department froze the charity’s assets and said it was part of a global network of similarly named charities that supported terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida, the Taliban and Hamas.

U.S. Attorney Beth Phillips said in a written statement that the guilty plea represented a landmark moment in the nine-year criminal probe of the charity.

”Hamed compromised national security by secretly funneling more than a million dollars to Iraq,” she said….

In pleading guilty, Hamed also admitted to a long string of facts in his plea agreement, many of which he and others had spent years denying. After contending that his charity was an entirely independent organization, he acknowledged Friday that it was part of an international organization headquartered in Khartoum, Sudan, that also used the initials IARA.

The African charity, according to federal officials, had frequent contact with the worst players in international terrorism.

Hamed also acknowledged that in 2001 he instructed an IARA spokesman to lie during a television interview, saying that a man who had purchased the satellite phone that al-Qaida used in the East Africa embassy bombings never had been employed by the Missouri charity.

In his plea agreement, Hamed acknowledged that he had personally hired the man to work in Columbia.

After a prosecutor read the factual recitation, U.S. District Judge Nanette Laughrey asked Hamed if the facts were true. Hamed hesitated for a moment and noted that he had not actually drafted the statement.

”I accept them,” Hamed said.

”Well, they’re either true or not true,” Laughrey pressed.

”They’re true,” he replied softly.

Hamed is the third defendant to plead guilty in the case. In December, charity fundraiser Ahmad Mustafa pleaded guilty to arranging for the transfer of money from the U.S. to family members in his native Iraq.

Al Mohamed Begegni, a board member and the charity’s treasurer, pleaded guilty in April to conspiring to violate Iraq sanctions.

Two remaining defendants are scheduled to begin what is expected to be a lengthy trial on July 6: Abdel Azim El-Siddig, the charity’s vice president for international operations, and former U.S. congressman Mark Deli Siljander.

Siljander is accused of taking $75,000 from IARA to help the charity have its name removed from a U.S. Senate Finance Committee list of organizations that allegedly supported terrorism. Prosecutors contend that money had been stolen from a U.S. Agency for International Development grant that IARA was supposed to have used for relief projects in Mali, Africa.

Obama's Secret talks with Hamas, Look for President Hussein to Remove the Annihilationist Hamas From the Terror List in the Coming Months

"the Hamas has been looking forward to implement Allah’s promise whatever time it might take. The prophet, prayer and peace be upon him, said: The time will not come until Muslims will fight the Jews (and kill them);" (h/t Doda)

The Islamic group Hamas says Obama officials request contacts remain secret 'so as not to rouse Jewish lobby.' Obama sounds just like your garden variety Jew-hater.

Hamas has allegiance to one thing: its charter (the destruction of Israel) and Islam. So when Obama politely pleads with them to "keep quiet" abut his talks with the bloodthirsty genocidal barbarians, they laugh in his fleshy face.

My well placed sources tell me Obama is moving to remove Hamas from the terror list (and replace them with who, Mother Theresa's group?)

Here is the Hamas charter.

Hamas Principles

The principles of the Hamas are stated in their Covenant or Charter, given in full below. Following are highlights.

"Israel will exist and will continue to exist until Islam will obliterate it, just as it obliterated others before it." (The Martyr, Imam Hassan al-Banna, of blessed memory).

"The Islamic Resistance Movement believes that the land of Palestine is an Islamic Waqf consecrated for future Muslim generations until Judgement Day. It, or any part of it, should not be squandered: it, or any part of it, should not be given up. "

"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors."

"After Palestine, the Zionists aspire to expand from the Nile to the Euphrates. When they will have digested the region they overtook, they will aspire to further expansion, and so on. Their plan is embodied in the "Protocols of the Elders of Zion", and their present conduct is the best proof of what we are saying."

The charter is a rather classical Islamist document, applied to the local issues. It declares that Jihad (in the sense of armed battle) is the only solution. It cites the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a ludicrous anti-Semitic forgery.

The charter is a rather classical Islamist document, applied to the local issues. It declares that Jihad Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a ludicrous anti-Semitic forgery.

The increasingly painful and frightful reality is that the current post-American president is more comfortable doing business with savages and killers than with civilized societies and  modern, urbane, advanced civilizations.

He is more at home with cannibals.

Hamas says asked by US to keep silent on talks

Islamist group source says senior American officials request contacts remain secret 'so as not to rouse Jewish lobby'
Roee Nahmias
 

A senior Hamas figure said Friday that official and unofficial US sources have asked the Islamist group to refrain from making any statements regarding contacts with Washington, this following reports that a senior American official is due to arrive in an Arab country in the coming days to relay a telegram from the Obama Administration.

The Hamas figure told the London-based Al-Quds Al-Arabi newspaper that the Americans fear discussing the talks publicly would "rouse the Jewish lobby and other pressure groups in the US and cause them to pressure the administration to suspend all talks with Hamas."
The Hamas figure, who is close to Ismail Haniyeh, the prime minister of the government in Gaza, added, "This is a sensitive subject. The Americans don't want anyone to comment on it because this would catch the attention of pressure groups (in the US) and cause problems."
He said Hamas' exiled leadership in Damascus is overseeing the contacts behind closed doors.

 

On Wednesday a Washington-based Arabic newspaper quoted a senior official as saying that an American envoy is scheduled to meet with Hamas representatives in an Arab country and hand them a letter from the Obama Administration.

According to the report, the official said Washington has no choice but to work with Hamas due to its influence in the Arab and Islamic world.

Oilbama's Death Throes: A Nation on Life Support

In a devastating act of G-d, hurricane Katrina blew out New Orleans and busted the levees. Historic tragedy. We will never forget it. The media beat us to death with Bush's incompetence (as if he was G-d).

Looking back, he did a damn fine job considering the Dems he had to work with in Louisiana.

Do you remember how the media fought under FOIA to print pictures of bodies floating in the water? They wanted to make every death a case of murder -- perp? Bush. They were relentless. The Democratic state of Louisiana failed abysmally, the "chocolate city" mayor Nagin refused to evacuate. The fact is ................ the loss of life and destruction of Katrina was most glaring proof of the failed welfare state, aka the Democrat statism model. It was a Democrat mayor, a Democrat governor, a Democrat political machine in Louisiana that was responsible for the lack of action, response and coordination of pre- and post-Katrina efforts (and to ABC's surprise, Katrina victims praised Bush and blamed Nagin).

The surrounding Republican states suffered horribly from Katrina and Rita, but you never heard high nor hare of them.

Fast forward to this nation's worst disaster and even more disastrously handled catastrophe -- Oilbama. He has taken the position of a spectator as the Gulf disappears. Amnesty, that's what's important.

Who would you rather be in charge during the BP spill? Bush or Bama? Sure wish Cheney were on it.

First, check out Oilbama's new form of abortion -- and why isn't the media warning Americans of this terrible threat? (From the Center for Disease Control)

Gulf Oil Spill Information for Pregnant Women

I’m pregnant. Can the oil harm me or my unborn baby?

Although the oil may contain some chemicals that could cause harm to an unborn baby under some conditions, the CDC has reviewed sampling data from the EPA and feels that the levels of these chemicals are well below the level that could generally cause harm to pregnant women or their unborn babies. The effects that chemicals might have on a pregnant woman and her unborn baby would depend on many things: how the mother came into contact with the oil, how long she was in contact with it, how often she came into contact with it, and the overall health of the mother and her baby.

People, including pregnant women, can be exposed to these chemicals by breathing them (air), by swallowing them (water, food), or by touching them (skin). If possible, everyone, including pregnant women, should avoid the oil and spill-affected areas. Generally, a pregnant woman will see or smell the chemicals in oil before those chemicals can hurt her or the baby. The EPA and CDC are working together to continue monitoring the levels of oil in the environment. If we begin to find levels that are more likely to be harmful, we will tell the public. For up-to-date information on monitoring data along the Gulf Coast, please visit EPA’s website.

What can I do to protect myself and my unborn baby?

• If you live along the coast, avoid areas where there are reports of oil reaching the shore.
• If the smell bothers you or you see smoke, stay indoors, set your air conditioner to reuse indoor air, and avoid physical activities that put extra demand on your lungs and heart.
• If you find any oil, avoid touching it, as well as oil spill-affected water and sand.
• If some of the oil gets on your skin, wash it off as soon as you can with soap and water.
• If you begin to feel sick after coming into contact with the oil or spill-affected areas, contact your doctor or other health professional.
• Follow local and state public health guidelines and warnings related to the oil spill (see links to resources below).

Can the air make me sick?

Although the oil vapors may contain some things that could be harmful to pregnant women, the CDC has reviewed sampling data from the EPA and feels that the levels of these chemicals are well below the level that could generally cause harm to pregnant women or their unborn babies. EPA is testing the air daily and sending the samples to laboratories for further analysis. CDC is working with EPA to decide if there are any chemicals at harmful levels. In addition, EPA scientists are taking [or checking] air samples every hour so that people can be warned if the levels go up. Visit the EPA’s website for the most up-to-date information on air monitoring results.

Smell

Pregnant women may be affected by the strong smell. It can give you a headache or upset stomach, so you may want to stay indoors, set your air conditioner to reuse indoor air, and avoid physical activities that put extra demand on your lungs and heart. If your symptoms do not improve after moving indoors, contact your health care professional, especially if you have asthma or other lung problems.

If you have to be outside, a N95 respirator with an odor control feature may provide some relief from the smell. Based on what we know now, you do not need to use a N95 respirator for your safety, but using one may make you more comfortable. Most hardware stores stock respirators (you should check the label to make sure the mask is a NIOSH certified N95 respirator with odor control or a charcoal layer). Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully to be sure you are using the mask properly.

Burning oil

Burning the oil in the Gulf of Mexico is one method being used to ensure that no oil make it to shore and/or to potentially harm people, animals or the environment. As responders burn some of the oil, some “Particulate Matter” (PM) may be created. PM is a mix of very small particles and liquid droplets found in the air. PM varies in size and the smallest PM can get deep into your lungs. PM should not reach the shore because the fires are far offshore. When crews burn the spilled oil they carefully watch the weather, wind, and water conditions and monitor the air. They stop the burn right away if there is any problem. CDC and ATSDR are helping the Coast Guard, EPA, and our other partners to protect the public’s health. Visit this CDC website for up-to-date information about burning oil and public health.

If you smell or see smoke you can take the following steps to protect yourself:

• Leave the area if you are at greater risk from breathing smoke. If you have a chronic respiratory condition such as asthma or cardiovascular disease, you may be at greater risk. Talk to your doctor about ways to avoid this risk.
• Limit your exposure to smoke: stay inside and use your air conditioner set to a recirculation mode. If you do not have an air conditioner you may wish to leave the area until the smoke is completely gone.
• Avoid activities that put extra demands on your lungs and heart. These include exercising or physical chores, both outdoors and indoors.
• Dust masks, bandanas, or other cloths (even if wet) will not protect you from smoke.

And the overview of the BP spill and  the horror of it all: VIDEO: the Gulf in the Death Throes

I’ve avoided pictures and video of struggling wildlife, but after being on the coast all week and returning home, I am made aware just how little people outside the coast understand the complete and utter devastation that is taking place right in our own country. If they did I hope that every American would stand up and demand more from their representatives – demand that the federal government admit that the entire Gulf of Mexico is in its own death throes and demand they finally stop putting profit above our people, wildlife and environment. I know of no other way to say we are sitting idly by, as our world dies around us. And I mean “death” in the most literal sense possible.
Have we all become so complacent, so apathetic that we no longer regard nature, life… human life, with enough regard to fight for it? What more must it take to outrage this nation??

Muslims Rioting in Israel

It's what they do ............... it comes naturally. The Jewish people are going to have to expel the annihilators.

Don't get too comfortable. It's already happening in Europe, and it's coming here.

Hundreds of Arabs Rampage in Shiloach INN

Arabs in Shiloach (Silwan) near the Kotel in Jerusalem went on a rampage Sunday evening. At least two hundred Arabs hurled fire bombs, fireworks and rocks at security guards stationed at the “Honey House” (Beit HaDvash) in the neighborhood, and at dozens of policemen and Border Police who came to restore order.

Three homes were reportedly on fire.

At least ten security men were lightly hurt. Six of these are apparently policemen and four others are Honey House guards. The guards reportedly fired in the air to ward off the attackers and police forces used stun grenades against the rioters. 

Earlier in the afternoon, an Arab mob attacked in Shiloach attacked a car driven by a Jewish man, Rechavia Piltz. Piltz's three children, the eldest of whom is eight, were inside the car with him. He managed to drive away but the vehicle was damaged.

Border Guards arrested two Arabs near Shechem in Samaria Sunday evening after they placed a pipe bomb in a plastic bag near the Huwara checkpoint.

Arabs also hurled rocks at the Jewish community in Hevron Sunday. No one was reported hurt. (IsraelNationalNews.com)

Dear Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan...............A Heartfelt Plea

Dear Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan,

The remains of another seventy-two people were discovered on Friday not far from where you plan to build a thirteen-story Islamic center and mosque. Here we are, close to ten years after the largest jihadist attack ever to take place on American soil, and bodies, corpses, are still being recovered. Who knows how many body parts were found in the Burlington Coat Factory building when the landing gear crashed through all five floors? Thousands were never recovered. Their cemetery, their burial ground, is the area in and around Ground Zero.

Of course, as one of the leaders of the opposition to the painful and strangely thoughtless "Cordoba Initiative," my group SIOA will be pursuing legal avenues to stop or at least dramatically slow down the building of this mosque on the site that many consider to be a war memorial, while also staging mega-protests and sit-ins if and when construction begins, etc. But must it come to that?

You and I are New Yorkers. We  are Americans, first. You, too, felt the devastating pain and anguish when the military arm of Islam (al qaeda) unleashed its attack on America on September 11th. The gaping hole at Ground Zero is a constant reminder of that terrible war.

Must we go legal? Must we stage more rallies with tens of thousands of Americans opposing the mosque? Can we not, as human beings, and in the interest of building bridges, mutual understanding and respect, implore you to reconsider your plans? I am sure your motivation to build bridges was a good one. But as you can see, it has had the opposite effect. The public outcry of millions of Americans make plain the wound that has been reopened and the terrible pain this is causing for families, for patriots, for Muslims of conscience. It is unbearable. This surely was not your intent.

Interfaith dialogue is a two-way street. I believe we should all be sensitive to each other. I don't see Muslims separately or apart, I see Americans. Period. Americans who love this country, and don't share the idea of "pure Islam" or "original" Islam that is found in Islamic countries. In many of the emails I receive, many Muslims understand the pain "Cordoba" inflicts -- not just the idea but the name itself (evoking Islamic conquest over the West).

I call upon your conscience, your goodness, your love of America, to move you to reconsider. More rallies will be staged -- tens of thousands will show. People might get hurt in a sit-in trying to stop the ground breaking of a mosque looking down on Ground Zero. Why? In the interest of building bridges?

Can we talk about this? Can we discuss this? Can the building have a church and a synagogue as well as a  mosque? Or perhaps no mosque at all -- much the way community centers like the 92nd Street Y or the YWCA, to which you have compared your plan, don't have churches or synagogues.

As a man of the clergy, you must understand the pain this is causing for the victims who mourn their dead, for Americans who mourn their country's losses ........  You can not have wanted to create such sorrow.

What can we do to get you to withdraw this plan? Should we try to raise the money to release you from this tragic mistake? How can we help you? We want to work with you and do the right thing, build bridges and show each other mutual  understanding and mutual respect. As a religious man, you would never mean to cause such overwhelming sadness and grief.

Imam Rauf, please withdraw this plan and show the world real understanding and kindness and empathy.

Sincerely yours,

Pamela Geller

Please sign this appeal to the Imam Rauf and Daisy Khan.  Let them hear us.

Thousands rallied June 6 at the site of the World Trade Center in New York City.

9/11 families were joined by immigrants from India, Russia, Egypt, Israel, Africa, Iran and Europe to show opposition to the construction of a mega-mosque at Ground Zero. Others flew in from overseas to speak or just to share their particular ethnic communities’ experiences at the hands of Muslims.

Falling on his sword

 

Look, we all know why Stanley McChrystal did what he did. He loves his country.

Frankly, I am surprised that there have not been more defections and resignations from our military. Obama's rules of engagement are deadly, his desire to partner with the barbaric Taliban is the action of an enemy, and when all is said and done, he has no strategy -- but it's getting our boys and girls killed in record numbers.

Clearly, the McChrystal affair casts real doubt on Barack Obama's qualities as a war president. And the media's spin on this historic rebuke of an incompetent wartime president is nothing short of criminal (treasonous, even).

McChrystal deserves the purple heart for this one. He has my undying respect and admiration for standing for what's right.

Dan F wrote this of the debacle.

Let’s assume four-star general Stanley McChrystal is no idiot and after a distinguished 35-year career in the military he knows the rules of the game. Let’s go even further and resolve that a man who spent a year at Harvard, and later ran super secret intelligence operations during the 2nd Iraq war, knows all about liberals, the media, how to keep his mouth shut and when to open it up. Lastly, let’s repeat the obvious. Stanley McChrystal loves his country and believes in his mission.

All of which raises a question that begs to be answered: Why did the general plan to have his deep misgivings about the commander-in-chief aired graphically in public, knowing full well it meant professional suicide?

The answer? Bravery and sacrifice take many forms. McChrystal’s Rolling Stone interview is his message in a bottle to the American people about the nature of our civilian leadership in the Age of Obama. Now that the bottle has come ashore we need to read the note carefully, ignore the MSM's red herrings, and take it at face value.

• The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America

Saturday Night Cinema: Rain

Maxwell Anderson's screenplay of the W. Somerset Maugham story. Joan Crawford. Walter Huston, William Gargan.

The pleasures of the flesh confront the discipline of the Lord's teachings in this screen adaptation of W. Somerset Maugham's story Miss Sadie Thompson. Sadie Thompson (Joan Crawford) is a sassy streetwalker who lands in Pago Pago in the South Pacific after an epidemic grounds the ship on which she's booked passage. Sadie's shapely legs, free spirit, and quick wit soon attract the attention of a group of American soldiers stationed on the island; while most are motivated by simple lust, the naive Sgt. O'Hara (William Gargan) falls head over heels for Sadie, thoroughly unaware of her checkered past and shameful profession. Rev. Alfred Davidson (Walter Huston), a fire-and-brimstone preacher bent on bringing salvation to the soldiers, is fully aware of Sadie's occupation and moral code, and is determined to convince her to change her ways. Sadie slowly but surely is softened by Davidson's conviction, but the preacher soon finds himself affected by her sensual presence; O'Hara also learns the truth about Sadie, but hatches his own plan to reform her -- marriage. While a box office failure in 1932, Rain has gone on to become a cult favorite, thanks to Crawford's vivid performance as Sadie and director Lewis Milestone's adventurous visual style. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

New York Times Movie Review 1932

Maxwell Anderson arranged the adaptation from the dramatic work and Lewis Milestone was entrusted with the direction. Besides Miss Crawford, there are in the cast, among others, Walter Huston, Guy Kibbee, Beulah Bondi, Matt Moore and William Gargan. 

The photography and the scenic effects are splendidly done. There is the impression of the incessant rain and also the sticky heat in the comfortless trading post run by Joe Horn. Moreover, in several respects the present film contains episodes that were dodged in its mute predecessor. But here, there is much that goes against the grain, either when matters are overemphasized or when the persons involved are too zealous to reveal their characteristics.

Peaceful Georgia neighborhood requires around the clock police patrols after mosque expansion denied

Once unnoticed, the reality is impossible to avoid. The country is under siege. And as long as you submit and subdue yourselves to Islam and stay quiet, you won't be harassed, but fight Islamic supremacism and ........it's war.

Peaceful Georgia neighborhood requires around the clock police patrols after mosque expansion denied

An update on the Lilburn mosque - a replica of a shrine to a Muslim holy warrior in Iraq (where more than 4,000 U.S. soldiers have been killed). When expansion plans were denied, the harassment of infidels began, the legal jihad kicked in, and apparently the Islamic intimidation has continued. ROPMA.

Lilburn’s Hood Road carries new Gwinnett into old Gwinnett. The mile of asphalt begins with a mosque at U.S. 29 and turns into a byway of houses, trees and gardens.

But now, when the sun goes down, tension grows in this tidy, middle-class neighborhood.

Some residents opposed to a mosque expansion on Hood Road say for the past seven months, they’ve been the frequent targets of harassment, mostly by those they describe as “Middle Eastern men”. But a founder of the mosque says the claims are unfounded and the city’s mayor, who lives on Hood Road, hasn’t witnessed anything unusual.

Nonetheless, residents have reported vehicles traveling the road at night with occupants yelling, making obscene gestures, snapping photos, even confronting two women in their driveway.

Since November, when city leaders ruled against a local Muslim congregation’s plans to expand, the Lilburn Police Department has received 21 calls of suspicious activity along Hood Road.

Lilburn police officials say they have investigated every claim and patrolled Hood Road around the clock for two months starting in April, when reports started to escalate.

Still, residents say, the harassment is real. Some have installed security camera systems. Others are carrying guns.

“A lot of people are locked and loaded because they don’t know what’s going to happen,” resident Angel Alonso, 46, said. “We have a feeling somebody is going to get hurt.”

Residents say the harassment started Nov. 18, the same day the Lilburn City Council rejected the congregation’s proposal for a 20,000-square-foot mosque, cemetery and gym at U.S. 29 and Hood Road. The council’s decision has since sparked a federal religious discrimination lawsuit against the city.

n November, more than 400 residents packed the Gwinnett County courthouse to protest the rezoning. They argued it would pose traffic and parking problems and run afoul of the city’s land-use plan.

After the meeting in Lawrenceville, resident Janie Hood said she was followed and boxed in on U.S. 29 by a van and sport utility vehicle full of “Middle Eastern” males, according to a police report. The vehicles were pulled over. Hood didn’t pursue the matter further, the report said.

But Hood said she didn’t drop it. Since March, she said she has spoken three times to the Gwinnett County District Attorney’s Office, which is investigating.

Now the 56-year-old Hood, whose father and grandfather built Hood Road, won’t sleep at her house at night, not since an attempted break-in in late December, she said. And on April 23, Hood said five vehicles pulled in front of her property. Two to three men exited and approached, according to a police report. Hood’s daughter, Christi Nichols, who feared for her safety, grabbed a firearm and told the men to leave, the report said.

“It’s getting worse and worse,” Hood said. “All we get from the Police Department is, ‘Stay in your house.’ We will stay in our house, but we should haven’t to.”

Love! Her!

"Do your job"! Indeed.

The problem is, we have no president. Seriously, the job is vacant, and in its place is this vainglorious assclown, preening, golfing, banging down kobe steaks, basketballing with Reggie, hanging in Farrakhan's hood, scowling, admonishing, blaming, bankrupting the nation, destroying capitalism, alienating friends and allies, and making a catastrophic mess of everything.

We need a president of the United States.

The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America

Geller Book Review: The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, Andrew McCarthy

I anxiously looked forward to the release of Andrew McCarthy’s new book, The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America, for several reasons. It was long overdue that a respected thinker, a senior fellow at NRO and former prosecutor of the most heinous Muslim terrorists (World Trade Center bombing 1993) would address what Robert Spencer so brilliantly warned us of in his seminal work, Stealth Jihad (Regnery, 2008). Stealth Jihad unmasked the Muslim Brotherhood’s plan to subvert America from within. McCarthy’s The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America confirms Spencer’s accuracy.

Spencer is considered one of the world’s leading scholars on Islam, and his take is from the text -- pure Islam. Andrew McCarthy, on the other hand, came to the subject matter from a courtroom. He became intimately aware of the thinking and the motivations of the jihad against the U.S. when he acted as the federal prosecutor of the Blind Sheikh, Omar Abdel Rahman, and got the Blind Sheikh locked up for his role in masterminding the first World Trade Center jihad attack in 1993. And so respected was McCarthy by that killer, that he referred to McCarthy as “Sheikh Andy.” So when a man of McCarthy’s stature warns of the “grand jihad,” or as Spencer coined it, “the stealth jihad,” you can be sure the nation is in trouble. And it has only gotten worse under Obama.

Andrew McCarthy knows what it meant when Barack Obama bowed to the Saudi king: “The president’s bow to the Saudi king should have surprised no one. It was a submission to their mutual aspiration: a symbolic moment in the transformation from the America that was to the America of Barack Obama’s fancy, a vision that would mark a giant leap forward for the global Islamist project.”

When I interviewed him in November 2009 about the Obama Administration’s plans to move the 9/11 terror trials to New York City, McCarthy explained what is essentially the main point of this book: “Well, jihad is anything that advances their cause, which is to establish sharia as a first step towards Islamicizing this society. So anything that they can advance the cause with is properly categorized as jihad.”

Anything they can advance the cause with – not just terror attacks. The Grand Jihad is about all the many ways that the Muslim Brotherhood is working to “establish sharia as a first step towards Islamicizing this society,” with willing help from Barack Obama and others among the America-hating left.

The book’s title comes from a Muslim Brotherhood document that came to light during the Holy Land Foundation jihad charity trial in 2007, that said that the Brothers in the U.S. “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion [meaning Islam, of course] is made victorious over all other religions.”

In The Grand Jihad, McCarthy shows all the ways the Brotherhood is working to make Islam victorious in the U.S. He explains how the Brotherhood works through its supposedly “moderate” front organizations like the Muslim American Society and the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which try to intimidate Americans (as in the “Flying Imams” case) into being afraid to oppose jihad activity or even report suspicious behavior by Muslims.

McCarthy also shows how they’ve infiltrated at the highest levels, placing Muslim Brotherhood operatives in government agencies where they hinder anti-terror efforts, as when Islamic law expert Steve Coughlin was fired from his job in the Pentagon at the instigation of Hesham Islam, a Brotherhood-linked operative who was assistant to Bush’s Deputy Defense Secretary Gordon England. He explains how they are now also even running candidates for office, like Esam Omeish of Virginia, positioning them as “moderate” when they’re anything but.

Spencer deserves props for being the first to examine in detail the Muslim Brotherhood’s strategic goals in the United States, and the many ways their stealth jihad is advancing here. Spencer’s book reveals the Brotherhood’s activities here in depth, as well as the international war on free speech that is being pursued by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), and much more that McCarthy deals with in The Grand Jihad. McCarthy deserves kudos for confirming Spencer’s research, and furthering and updating it with vital information about the complicity of the Obama Administration in these efforts. Too few people know what the Muslim Brotherhood is doing in the United States, and fewer still realize just how thoroughly anti-American Obama really is, and how that shows through in his policies. That makes The Grand Jihad one of the most important books of the year.

During our interview, McCarthy asked me: “You remember the CIA photographs, they were going to release the prisoner abuse photos? People rose up, they got angry about it, there were a lot of political backlash. And what happened? He reversed himself. So it’s not hopeless…It’s our courthouse, it’s our government and they get to serve it for a while, and I think that we should speak to them and let them know what we want.”

Right. And it isn’t hopeless now. It’s our government. And we don’t want the grand jihad advancing in America. We don’t want any more U.S. presidents bowing to Islamic kings. Get Spencer’s Stealth Jihad and McCarthy’s Grand Jihad, and educate yourself – before it’s too late.

Madness: Bomb Blast at Greek police ministry kills top aide

When one observes the nightmare of the desperate efforts made by hundreds of thousands of people struggling to escape from the socialized countries of Europe, to escape over barbed-wire fences, under machine-gun fire—one can no longer believe that socialism, in any of its forms, is motivated by benevolence and by the desire to achieve men’s welfare.

No man of authentic benevolence could evade or ignore so great a horror on so vast a scale.

Socialism is not a movement of the people. It is a movement of the intellectuals, originated, led and controlled by the intellectuals, carried by them out of their stuffy ivory towers into those bloody fields of practice where they unite with their allies and executors: the thugs.

"Monument Builders,” The Virtue of Selfishness, 87.

The catastrophe that is Greece is nothing more than the failed policies of the left that eventually lead to chaos, bloodshed, death and slavery.

It never fails. Point to one successful Communist/socialist country in the world. You can't.

Blast at Greek police ministry kills top aide

(Reuters) - A booby-trapped package exploded next to the office of the Greek minister in charge of the police force Thursday, killing one of his aides, officials said.

No one immediately claimed responsibility for the blast, which occurred on the seventh floor of the ministry and caused serious damage to the office of Civil Protection Minister Mihalis Chrysohoidis.

"It was a wrapped package that exploded in the aide's hands after he apparently picked it up and tried to open it," police spokesman Thanassis Kokkalakis told Reuters. "We heard a big bang, there was a lot of smoke and damage."

There was no warning and no reports of other injuries.

Since suffering its worst riots in decades in 2008, Greece has been rocked by a series of bomb attacks for which leftist militants have claimed responsibility. Earlier this year, police arrested six suspected members of the country's most violent militant group, Revolutionary Struggle.

When he took office in 2009, Chrysohoidis promised to crack down on militants. In a previous spell in the job in 2002, he dismantled November 17, Greece's most lethal guerrilla group.

The victim of Thursday's blast, George Vassilakis, was adjutant to the minister and the father to two children.

"I lost a valuable and dear colleague," an emotional Chrysohoidis told reporters outside the ministry. He was in the building at the time of the explosion at 8.15 p.m. (1715 GMT), but escaped injury.

In early May, three people including a pregnant woman were killed when people marching in an anti-austerity protest fire-bombed an Athens bank. In March, a 15-year old boy was killed and his mother and sister injured after a bomb exploded outside a building in the capital.

Read the rest, though the outcome is obvious.

"Statism is a system of institutionalized violence and perpetual civil war. It leaves men no choice but to fight to seize political power—to rob or be robbed, to kill or be killed. When brute force is the only criterion of social conduct, and unresisting surrender to destruction is the only alternative, even the lowest of men, even an animal—even a cornered rat—will fight. There can be no peace within an enslaved nation."

Muslim Leader Admits Islam Not a Religion of Peace

"There is a place for violence in Islam"

Atlas Flashback: I told you so

Vlog from March 2008:

Excerpt:

I’m praying for Israel. I praying that someone like Eldad, someone who’s not corrupt – someone who can lead the Jewish people, now, through such treacherous waters. And with what’s happening in America. I mean, you elect -- I can’t even believe the man, Barack Hussein Obama, could possibly be on the ticket. With his allegiances, and his connections. He’s, you know, an African-American, and isn’t that great, let’s all feel good about ourselves – first of all, he’s an Arab-American, he’s not an African-American, and to vote for him because he’s black is worse than not voting for him because he’s black. It’s still racism. Content of character! Who cares?

He’s got a foreign policy group that is more jihadi, more pro-terror – Samantha Powers. I mean, we’re talking about people that advocate for recognizing Hamas and Hezbollah. He’s endorsed by the Black Panther Party. He’s endorsed by Farrakhan. What are we talking about here? This is the world the way I want it to be? No. You have to deal with the world the way it is. A is A. And only then can you make rational, good decisions. And I say that to Israel.

Hooded Muslim Butchers Slaughter Commuters in the Philippines…

Insane murder cult strikes again…

(Associated Press) — MANILA, Philippines – About 30 hooded attackers, believed to be Abu Sayyaf militants, shot and hacked horrified victims running for their lives in the southern Philippines, police said Thursday. Four died and six were wounded in the brazen attack.
The al-Qaida-linked militants apparently were trying to divert government troops from a weekslong offensive in a nearby town, said Antonio Mendoza, police chief for the island province of Basilan.
Most of the victims were commuters in a passenger jeep going home from Basilan’s capital of Isabela City. The attackers were positioned on a hill and opened fire with rifles. Two passengers died instantly and others jumped from the jeep to flee, Mendoza said.
“They were fired upon as they ran. One of the attackers hacked a 10-year-old boy, who survived,” Mendoza told The Associated Press.
“We found the bodies and survivors scattered outside the jeep. It’s sad, these outlaws don’t have any regard for life.”

For Muslims Only

America’s founding ideal was the principle of individual rights. Nothing more—and nothing less. The rest—everything that America achieved, everything she became, everything “noble and just,” and heroic, and great, and unprecedented in human history—was the logical consequence of fidelity to that one principle. The first consequence was the principle of political freedom, i.e., an individual’s freedom from physical compulsion, coercion or interference by the government. The next was the economic implementation of political freedom: the system of capitalism. Ayn Rand

More blatant anti-American, unconstitutional law breaking. This country was founded on the basic, brilliant principle of individual rights. It took centuries of blood, sweat and toil to get here. No special rights for special classes. No one is supreme over another. This idea, the foundation of the greatest nation on the history of man, is being flouted by Islamic supremacists and their leftist shills.

Why the "special handling" of Muslims? Why treat Muslims as if they were mental patients? It is insulting to all Muslims. If I were part of Muslim leadership, I would rail against this polarization. Muslims should be thought of as Americans, period. Why the relentless separatism from American society as a whole?  If I were Muslim, I would fight this isolationism and polarization that Islamic supremacist groups like un-indicted co-conspirator, Hamas-linked, Muslim Brotherhood fronts CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, etc., inflict upon American Muslims.

It is positively un-American. Why deliberately set up divisions among Americans?

Honest people are never touchy about the matter of being trusted.

Mark sent me this:

I received the following email from Nancy Eisenhart. It appears that our tax funded police force is reaching out to the Muslim community by holding community forums just for Muslims. Nancy rightly asks why is there no outreach forums for the rest of us? Please contact the police department and make your feelings known. The forum has already taken place, but this type of outreach to a select group must stop.

Look what the taxpayers of L. A County are paying for, the same group that boycotts law-seeking Arizona. Supporting the a Muslim Community Forum.

Obama Nominates 9/11 Terror Lawyer James Cole for Deputy Attorney General

You have to wonder if there will be anyone on our side left in the government after the Obama putsch. 2012 is a world of history away. Between now and then, think the unthinkable.

You have to ask yourself, does President Hussein know one good guy, one decent American? One man with ethics and morals? One man who actually likes America? Seriously, name one.

Obama Nominates 9/11 Lawyer James Cole for Deputy Attorney General

Washington, D.C., 23 June 2010. On May 24, 2010, President Barak Obama nominated Mr. James Cole for the position of Deputy Attorney General of the United States. While the Center for Democracy and Human Rights in Saudi Arabia (CDHR) does not accuse Mr. Cole of any wrongdoing, we found his nomination objectionable on moral and humane principles.

After the families of the thousands of 9/11 victims sued the Saudi ruling family for its alleged role in the 9/11 attack on the US, by mostly Saudi nationals, Mr. Cole was sought by and accepted to defend the disreputable Saudi Minister of Interior, Prince Naif. Under the American democratic system, accused criminals have their day in open courts and access to lawyers. In Saudi Arabia, Prince Naif’s ministry arrests and interrogates both religious and ordinary people and imprisons them without charges or trial for months and years.

While Prince Naif and his family did not hijack American planes and use them to massacre thousands of innocent Americans, the royal family’s institutions provided the terrorists with the tools: anti-American sentiments and religious hate for non-Muslims. Prince Naif’s Al-Haramain Foundation, designated by the Department of Treasury as a facilitator of terrorism, is reported to have diverted funds to Al-Qaeda both before and after 9/11. Prince Naif has never acknowledged his country’s role in the murderous 9/11 attack which resulted in destruction of America’s economic and military symbols of power and trade, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

As Deputy Attorney General, Mr. Cole would be responsible for the process of determining prosecution, as well as the treatment and interrogation of terrorist suspects. Notably, Mr. Cole would be involved in choosing the location of the trial of Khalid Sheikh Muhammad, the mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.

Debra Burlingame, who lost a family member in the 9/11 attack, argues that Cole "would be the guy who would be leading the charge for the entire department in the war on terror and I think he is grossly ill-suited." Her understandable and justified concern is echoed by Republican Senator Jeff Sessions of Alabama, who referred to an op-ed by Mr. Cole in 2002 in which he described the 9/11 attacks as criminal acts instead of acts of war. Sessions said that “Cole's opinions alone are controversial at a time the country is fighting terrorism.”

The question that should be asked is how Mr. Cole will relate to Prince Naif, whom he represented and exonerated of any wrongdoing under the American democratic system of justice. Will he press Naif to curtail Saudi religious clerics’ hate dissemination against America, stop supporting extremists groups and institutionalize laws to make it a crime for Saudi nationals to commit acts of terrorism against the US and the international community? How would Prince Naif respond to Mr. Cole? Knowing the Saudi way of doing business, we can only assume that Prince Naif would say, “Mr. Cole you have found me and my country innocent of any involvement, directly or indirectly, in any act of terrorist activities.”

Barack Obama -- Organizing for America App Launches for Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod touch

The next level of Obama's cultural jihad and indoctrination of our young. This comes fresh on the heels of OFA (Obama's Organizing for America) organizing in the public school classroom -- one parent said at the time: "I Can't Even Pass Out Fliers in the School for Girl Scouts Without Permission from the Superintendent's Office."

Obama's plan to co-op the young, and the technology they use.

Atlas reader Hunt opined, "This is a big story, a potential game-changer (in a bad way). Plus, with the iPad, iPhone, iPod ecosystem now being tapped by BHO, watch for unique targeted videos from fearless leader to further hypnotize/galvanize his political fan base. Demagoguery in the iPhone/iPad age. Goebbels would be frothing at the possibilities."

And let us not forget the virulent anti-semitism on the pages of of Obama's OFA site: here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here.

What is the bias at apple?

"International Draw Muhammad Day" was a day of protest fueled by a Facebook page that encouraged followers to post images of the Muslim prophet. Fallout from the protest included the banning of Facebook and YouTube in Pakistan.

But Apple removed the app called iSlam Muhammad from the iPhone App Store, according to TUAW. "A description of the $.99 app encouraged users to 'enjoy violent and hateful passages from The Qur'an that support and encourage Muslims to attack and behead anyone who does not agree with them. See how Allah directs his followers to treat men and women.'"

"The app revolved around parchment images featuring controversial images from the holy text. The app was in the store for a day before it was pulled." (more here)

So no defamation of Islam -- that app was removed. Check out Penn's take.

Apple pulled the iSsam Muhammad app and will not tell me why or what I could do to fix it.

This is the actual call I received from Apple when they decided to pull my app.

iSlam Muhammad is a simple slideshow application comprised of violent passages from the Qur'an and images of Muhammad.

The biggest problem is the fact that Apple allows an app called Bible Thumper, which does the same thing to Christianity, but no one may make an application that will offend Muslims.

But the fascist speeches of Mussolini are available, and the speeches are downloadable. So Mussolini's ok. Who decides?

An iPhone application devoted to Benito Mussolini, one of the key figures in the creation of Fascism, has been criticised after record downloads on Holocaust Memorial Day.

iMussolini beat blockbuster games including Avatar on the Italian iTunes App Store on Wednesday 27th January. That date was chosen for the Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), as it is the anniversary of the day in 1945 on which the Soviet Army liberated the largest Nazi concentration camp - Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The application offers biographical information and a chance to read hundreds of speeches, along with video clips of the dictator in action. Mussolini ruled Italy from 1922 until his death in 1945 at the end of World War II.

The man behind iMussolini defended the iPhone application. "It’s a delicate page in our history that should never be forgotten,” Luigi Marino told Bloomberg News. "I’m stunned by the success of the application. I’ve had complaints, but also lots of positive feedback asking me to keep updating."

Typically, a Milan-based spokeswoman for Apple declined to comment.

Available from the Apple iTunes App Store, iMussolini costs 59p and requires the iPhone 3.0 Software Update or later. iMussolini is presented in Italian only.

Muslims Goosestep in Jew-hate March in Vienna -- Hitler Would Be Proud of His Muslim Armies

It seems fitting that the Muslims would kick off their Jewish genocidal campaign in Austria, land of Hitler's youth and rise power. 

Hurry Up Harry caught the whole goosestepping, blood lusty march by the Muslims calling for the annihilation of the Jews and exalting the anti-Christ himself, Hitler. Good luck with Europe. Good luck with a Jew-less continent overrun with warlike Muslims.

I wonder how torsion is in the new Europe..............

Jew Hate March in Vienna   Hurry up Harry

f neo-Nazis would march in Vienna with a poster proclaiming “Hitler wake up”, the left-liberal Viennese weekly Falter would not describe this as “strange demand”, but ask why the police allowed this slogan (a criminal offence in Austria) to be shown unhindered in public. But when it reported a demonstration organized by anti-imperialist “activists” on June 1st, they found the demand “Hitler wake up” only “strange”.

<

/p>

The big pro-Hamas demonstration in Vienna on June 4th was different from demonstrations in other European cities. One of its main speakers was Omar al Rawi, a Social Democratic (SPÖ) member of Vienna’s local parliament (Wiener Landtag), who is also “Integrationsbeauftragter” (officially responsible for the integration of foreigners) belonging to the Muslim religious community of Austria. Omar al Rawi, who is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, spoke in front of about 10,000 demonstrators shouting “Israel – murderers” who waived “Israel – child killer” banners.

“Neuer Nazi Israel” “New Nazi Israel”[1]

Thomas Schmidinger, an Austrian lecturer on Political Sciences at the University of Vienna and co-author of a handbook on political Islam in Austria, published in the Vienna daily Die Presse a comment “against the ‘ethicizing’ of politics”[2]. Schmidinger blamed all Austrian parties and wrote about the SPÖ and Omar al Rawi, whose “official position of contact to political Islam is of great importance. His friendly façade always crumbles when the subject matter turns to his real passion, mobilizing feelings against Israel. He has often appeared as rabble-rouser at demonstrations of Arab and Turkish Islamists professing solidarity with Hamas-governed Gaza. Last Friday, when I left the National Library, I heard from afar the voice of Al Rawi, raging and ranting against the ‘open air prison’ of Gaza in which ‘one and a half million people are incarcerated’, that the Palestinian victims ‘did not die in vain’ and that their fight must go on.[3] The angry crowd called Israel “terrorist state” and “child-Killer”. Al Rawi could proudly refer to a unanimous resolution by the Vienna Landtag condemning Israel”[4] before his audience with Turkish, Iranian and Hezbollah flags.

UPDATE Armaros adds:

I think it is perfectly appropriate to allude to the Mufi when Jews are attacked in Germany today by Muslims.
There is no need for direct proof just opening one's eyes.

Mein Kampf is a best seller in almost every Muslim country. Arab ones as well as Turkey and Bangladesh.
Farrakhan calls Hitler a great man.

Nazi symbolism like heil salutes and fascist movements along with Nazi inspired antisemitic imagery in Muslim papers and blogs is so common that it is not even mentioned anymore.

The MCB wanting to cancel Holocaust day in the UK. Muslim groups intimidating educators to not to teach the Holocaust and most (like 90%) of antisemitic incidents attributed to Muslims in Europe should not be mentioned.

The Muslims are finishing the work of the Mufti al-Husseini, Hitlers ally and mass slaughterer of Jews during the the holocaust.

Youths attack Jewish dance group in Germany AP

BERLIN – Arab youths threw stones at a Jewish dance group during a street festival in Hannover, injuring one dancer and forcing the group to cancel its performance, German police and dance officials said Thursday.

The teenagers also used a megaphone to shout anti-Semitic slurs during the attack Saturday, Hannover police spokesman Thorsten Schiewe said.

"I don't remember such a dramatic attack in Germany in recent times," said Michael Fuerst, the head of the Jewish community of the state of Lower Saxony.

Six suspects have been identified — five Arabic immigrants and one German — and police are looking for the other three, police said. The six range from nine to 19 years old and have been questioned by police.

Hannover prosecutors are investigating those involved on suspicion of incitement and causing serious bodily harm, prosecutor Irene Silinger said.

Stephan Kramer of the Central Council of Jews in Germany condemned the attack.

"This latest incident shows something we have not experienced before: A growing radicalization of young Muslims, which affects not only the Jewish community but the entire German community," Kramer told The Associated Press.

The Central Council of Muslims in Germany could not immediately be reached for comment.

Where's Obumbler? Venezuela to nationalize U.S. firm's oil rigs

Where is our commander-in-chief? Protecting our national interests and assets? What bed is the clown hiding under today?

Venezuela to nationalize U.S. firm's oil rigs

CARACAS (Reuters) – Venezuela will nationalize a fleet of oil rigs belonging to U.S. company Helmerich and Payne, the latest takeover in a push to socialism as President Hugo Chavez struggles with lower oil output and a recession.

A former soldier inspired by Cuba's Fidel Castro, Chavez has made energy nationalization the linchpin in his 'revolution'. He has also taken over assets in telecommunications, power, steel and banking.

The 11 drilling rigs have been idled for months following a dispute over pending payments by the OPEC member's state oil company PDVSA. Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez said on Wednesday the rigs, the Oklahoma-based company's entire Venezuelan fleet, were being nationalized to bring them back into production.

Ramirez said companies that refused to put their rigs into production were part of a plan to weaken Chavez's government,

"There is a group of drill owners that has refused to discuss tariffs and services with PDVSA and have preferred to keep this equipment stored for a year," Ramirez told reporters in the oil producing state of Zulia. "That is the specific case with U.S. multinational Helmerich and Payne."

The company was not immediately available for comment.

Chavez, who faces legislative elections in September, often pushes ahead with radical plans during election campaigns.

The 55-year-old leader is having a hard time in his 11th year in power. Venezuela's economy is the worst performing in Latin America this year, a problem exacerbated by a drop in oil output since 2008, power outages and soaring inflation.

Chuckie Johnson, the blogger Taliban

As many of you know, a group of Christians were denied their unalienable rights of free speech and freedom of assembly that are set forth in our Constitution and above all, endowed by our creator. In a stunning and unlawful usurpation of American law, sharia law was enforced at a Muslim festival in Dearborn, Michigan, where these gentlemen (see video) were arrested for .....  going to a festival and passing out fliers. I wrote a piece for Human Events about it, Islamic Law Comes to Dearborn, and blogged it here as well: Non-Muslims Arrested for Attending an Arab {Muslim} Festival.

Here's the video.

Acts 17 Apologetics, a Christian evangelistic group, was banned from passing out fliers at this year’s Arab Festival in Dearborn, Mich., but they went to the festival anyway and ended up getting arrested.

On Saturday, I got this message from David Wood of Acts 17: “Muslims threatened to kill Nabeel [Qureshi, an ex-Muslim and David’s colleague] and me if we showed up again at Arab Fest in Dearborn, so we went there yesterday. They didn’t kill us. Instead, police arrested us and we got to spend a night in jail (along with two others who were video recording us).”

Wondering if they were arrested for passing out fliers in defiance of the ban, I asked David about the ban. He answered, “Yes, we’re banned from handing out literature, but we didn’t do that. We followed the rules, and still got thrown in jail. They flat out lied about us. We can prove they lied with the video footage (just like last year), but the police took our cameras and won’t let us have the footage. There’s major oppression of anyone who criticizes Islam.” Last year, Nabeel, David and friends went to the Arab Festival and filmed a video that went viral. It is amazing to see in that video what happened in America. It was free speech under siege.

Nabeel and David were harassed and intimidated, aided and abetted by law enforcement. Said David and Nabeel: “The conclusion of this video is a mob of festival security attacking our cameras, pushing us back, kicking our legs, and lying to the police. We ask you, is it a coincidence that the city with the highest percentage of Muslims in the United States is the city where Christianity is not allowed to be represented (let alone preached) on a public sidewalk?”

This of course, is an outrage. Flouting American law, shredding our constitution and the laws of land.

Christian Taliban?

But wait. While I pay little mind to the mentally ill fringe of blog society, I sincerely hope Chuckie Johnson has a minder. He is going to hurt himself, or perhaps target the Christian Taliban. Maybe they have an extra bed up there at the cuckoo's nest ............. he is either a goner or he's on the payroll.

Witness how the deranged one has gone from the right, done a 180 and spun out to the left, and finally gone certifiably, dangerously crazy. Crazy, as in lock-this-guy-up crazy.

Chuck Johnson says there is "almost no difference between fanatics like acts17 and the Taliban."

Sharia White House makes Sharia Appointment

Is Obama capable of making any decision, any policy, any appointment that does not advance radically intolerant Islam? For this unfamiliar with the term sharia, it refers to the 'sacred' law of Islam. All Muslims believe Sharia is allah's law.

Broadcasting and Blaring the call to Prayer in NYC

Masjid in Manhattan and the amplified call to prayers

As New Yorkers who suffered the ultimate call to prayer on 911, there is no reason in the world why we must be subjected to this noise harassment. Pamela H caught this amplified "call to prayer" on 29th street today.

Will the 13-story mega mosque be blaring the Muslim call to prayer on 911?

Hamas figure calls event ‘immoral,’ denounces PA for sponsorship and attendance.

A fashion show for Palestinian girls held this week in the Christian town of Beit Sahour, near Bethlehem, under the auspices of the Palestinian Authority has drawn strong condemnations from Hamas and other Palestinian factions.

Sheikh Hamed Bittawi, a top Hamas political figure in the West Bank, condemned the show as “immoral” and said it violated Islamic values and laws.

Bittawi called it “unsuitable for a people that lives under occupation, has 12,000 prisoners [in Israeli prisons] and has sacrificed tens of thousands of people,” and ruled that such events were considered by Islam to be a fahisha, or major sin.

He also condemned the PA government for allowing the event to take place and for sponsoring it.

The PA was represented at fashion show, which was part of a graduation ceremony for fashion designers, by Tourism Minister Kholoud Daibes. The event was also attended by Majeda al- Masri, minister for social welfare, and Bethlehem Mayor Victor Batarseh.

Several other Hamas officials launched a scathing attack on PA President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad for supporting the fashion show, and accused them of spreading “moral corruption” in the West Bank.

Geller vs. Detroit: Free Speech vs. Islamic Supremacism

Here's the latest on the violation of free speech in Detroit (where they need our freedom bus ads the most).

Legal Battle Brews Over Ban on 'Anti-Islam' Bus Ads AOL News

(June 23) -- While a controversial ad campaign targeting Muslims is getting a cold shoulder in Detroit, its ads may soon be appearing on the side of Motown buses anyway.

A conservative legal group has asked a federal judge to force a Michigan bus company to run ads that offer support to Muslims who want to leave their religion, saying the ads are protected under the First Amendment.

"Fatwa on your head?" one of the slogans reads. "Is your family or community threatening you? Leaving Islam? Got questions? Get answers!"

A controversial ad campaign in Detroit targeting Muslims is being defended by a conservative legal group. The Freedom Defense Initiative wants a federal judge to force a Michigan bus company to run the ads.

The "Leave Islam Safely" ad campaign is paid for by the Freedom Defense Initiative, an anti-jihadist group co-founded by Pamela Geller, a New York woman who is also working to stop a controversial mosque from being built near New York's ground zero.

The ads aren't new: They raised eyebrows when they ran earlier this year in New York. And in Miami, they were removed from buses after local Muslim leaders called them a "smoke screen for hatred," although a court ordered the ads reinstated.

But in metropolitan Detroit, which has a large Muslim population, the campaign has yet to get off the ground. Regional bus company SMART simply refused outright to run the ads.

"The only city so far that has dug their heels in is Detroit," said Robert Muise, a lawyer at the Thomas More Law Center in Michigan, the conservative legal group representing the Freedom Defense Initiative.

Muise has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order against SMART, arguing that freedom of speech gives the Freedom Defense Initiative the "right to engage in religious and political speech in a public forum."

And Geller isn't taking no for an answer. In a phone interview with AOL News today, she said she is determined to see the ads on Detroit buses.

"There's no question that I'm going to win this and those ads are going to run," she said.

Geller said the campaign is not anti-Islam but meant to offer support to people who want to leave the faith. "There are very few resources available to them, and their lives are threatened -- not just by their families but by their mosques and communities," she said.

Raheem Hanifa of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said that kind of sentiment is offensive. "The ads presuppose that Muslims are violent and irrational. That's just not the case," he told AOL News. "This is just another instance of fear-mongering and hate-mongering."

What a fraud. What are they so afraid of? Freedom?

However, SMART recently allowed an atheist ad to appear on its buses. "Don't believe in God? You are not alone," it read.

That means the bus company will have a hard time standing its ground, according to Don Herzog, a law professor at the University of Michigan and a constitutional scholar.

"It's a disaster when the government starts picking and choosing viewpoints," he told AOL News. "That's a First Amendment nightmare."

Geller told AOL News she's getting ready to launch the ad campaign in another major city, but would not say where.

"I believe I'm fighting for Muslims here," she said. "I have no problem with Muslims. I do have a problem with the violent ideology that inspires jihad."

SMART could not be reached for comment.

Remains of 72 people found at World Trade Center site of Muslim Attack -- NO MEGA MOSQUE AT GROUND ZERO

Stop the Mosque at Ground Zero Part II

We are still finding bodies of Americans murdered by Muslim terrorists on September 11th. Still. And the Islamic supremacists want to build a monster mosque on that sacred burial ground, a giant symbol of Islamic supremacism on the cherished site of land they think they conquered?

Never going to happen.

Remains of 72 people found at World Trade Center site Telegraph hat tip Armaros

New York City officials say a renewed search this year of debris in and around the World Trade Center site has recovered 72 human remains.

The sifting of more than 800 cubic yards (612 cubic meters) of debris recovered from ground zero and underneath roads around the lower Manhattan site began in April and ended Friday.

The greatest number of remains – 37 – were found from material underneath West Street, a highway on the west side of ground zero. The new debris was uncovered as construction work made new parts of the site accessible.

The city began a renewed search for human remains in 2006. More than 1,800 remains have been found.

Some have been matched to previously unidentified 9/11 victims.

 

Forecast: Blood on the Streets

If the king decrees that all illegals will be granted amnesty, I can assure you that America will not go quietly. If you recall the last time partial amnesty was broached under the Bush administration (when both parties actually worked together), millions took to the streets and voted it down -- and that was before the phenomenon known as the "tea parties."

It is increasingly clear that the most divisive President in history is itching for a civil war. And at the rate he is going, he is going to get one -- if he continues to ignore the will of the American people. 

Is "Emperor" Obama Poised to Grant Illegal Immigrant Amnesty by Executive Order? Yid with Lid

The rumor swirling around the Beltway is that once again the President is poised to go against the will of the American people, this time on Amnesty for Illegal Immigrants. All polls show that American citizens want the government find a way protect the US borders before dealing with the illegal immigrants already in the country.

This time according to the scuttlebutt, unlike the health care bill, Obama does not have the Congressional votes to shove his policy down the throats of America, so he will go around Congress and the American people and issue an executive order granting amnesty to the 12 million potential Democratic Party Voters Illegal Immigrants in the United States.

The rumor is so fierce that earlier this week Senator Grassley and Sens. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah; Saxby Chambliss, R-Ga.; David Vitter, R-La.; Jim Bunning, R-Ky.; James Inhofe, R-Okla.; Thad Cochran, R-Miss.; and Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., signed a letter to the President saying:

We understand that there’s a push for your Administration to develop a plan to unilaterally extend either deferred action or parole to millions of illegal aliens in the United States. We understand that the Administration may include aliens who have willfully overstayed their visas or filed for benefits knowing that they will not be eligible for a status for years to come. We understand that deferred action and parole are discretionary actions reserved for individual cases that present unusual, emergent or humanitarian circumstances. Deferred action and parole were not intended to be used to confer a status or offer protection to large groups of illegal aliens, even if the agency claims that they look at each case on a “case-by-case” basis.

While we agree our immigration laws need to be fixed, we are deeply concerned about the potential expansion of deferred action or parole for a large illegal alien population. While deferred action and parole are Executive Branch authorities, they should not be used to circumvent Congress’ constitutional authority to legislate immigration policy, particularly as it relates to the illegal population in the United States.

Why would the president make this move when such a vast majority of Americans would be against it?  Probably the best explanation could be given in this video published on this site before featuring SEIU Vice President Eliseo Medina, who explained that granting citizenship to millions of illegal aliens would expand the "progressive" electorate and help ensure a "progressive" governing coalition for the long term.



"We reform the immigration laws, it puts 12 million people on the path to citizenship and eventually voters," Medina said during his speech at a June 2009 Washington conference for the liberal America's Future Now!

Medina said that during the presidential election in November 2008, Latinos and immigrants "voted overwhelmingly for progressive candidates. Barack Obama got two out of every three voters that showed up."

"Can you imagine if we have, even the same ratio, two out of three? Can you imagine 8 million new voters who care about our issues and will be voting? We will be creating a governing coalition for the long term, not just for an election cycle."

Thomas Sowell: Obama's Slippery Slope To Tyranny

Obama's tyranny. It's as if Obama is itching for a civil war.

Is U.S. Now On Slippery Slope To Tyranny?

When Adolf Hitler was building up the Nazi movement in the 1920s, leading up to his taking power in the 1930s, he deliberately sought to activate people who did not normally pay much attention to politics.

Such people were a valuable addition to his political base, since they were particularly susceptible to Hitler's rhetoric and had far less basis for questioning his assumptions or his conclusions.

"Useful idiots" was the term supposedly coined by V.I. Lenin to describe similarly unthinking supporters of his dictatorship in the Soviet Union.

Put differently, a democracy needs informed citizens if it is to thrive, or ultimately even survive.

In our times, American democracy is being dismantled, piece by piece, before our very eyes by the current administration in Washington, and few people seem to be concerned about it.

The president's poll numbers are going down because increasing numbers of people disagree with particular policies of his, but the damage being done to the fundamental structure of this nation goes far beyond particular counterproductive policies.

Just where in the Constitution of the United States does it say that a president has the authority to extract vast sums of money from a private enterprise and distribute it as he sees fit to whomever he deems worthy of compensation? Nowhere.

And yet that is precisely what is happening with a $20 billion fund to be provided by BP to compensate people harmed by their oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Many among the public and in the media may think that the issue is simply whether BP's oil spill has damaged many people, who ought to be compensated.

But our government is supposed to be "a government of laws and not of men."

If our laws and our institutions determine that BP ought to pay $20 billion — or $50 billion or $100 billion — then so be it.

But the Constitution says that private property is not to be confiscated by the government without "due process of law."

Technically, it has not been confiscated by Barack Obama, but that is a distinction without a difference.

With vastly expanded powers of government available at the discretion of politicians and bureaucrats, private individuals and organizations can be forced into accepting the imposition of powers that were never granted to the government by the Constitution.

If you believe that the end justifies the means, then you don't believe in constitutional government.

And, without constitutional government, freedom cannot endure. There will always be a "crisis" — which, as the president's chief of staff has said, cannot be allowed to "go to waste" as an opportunity to expand the government's power.

That power will of course not be confined to BP or to the particular period of crisis that gave rise to the use of that power, much less to the particular issues.

When Franklin D. Roosevelt arbitrarily took the United States off the gold standard, he cited a law passed during the First World War to prevent trading with the country's wartime enemies. But there was no war when FDR ended the gold standard's restrictions on the printing of money.

At about the same time, during the worldwide Great Depression, the German Reichstag passed a law "for the relief of the German people."

That law gave Hitler dictatorial powers that were used for things going far beyond the relief of the German people — indeed, powers that ultimately brought a rain of destruction down on the German people and on others.

If the agreement with BP was an isolated event, perhaps we might hope that it would not be a precedent. But there is nothing isolated about it.
