Last Saturday morning, Illinois Democrat Congressman Mike Quigley made a surprise visit to the American Islamic College Conference in Chicago. The unaccredited college is the first of its kind in the United States.
Illinois Congressmen Mike "Quisling" Quigley practically got down on his belly and apologized to the Muslim world for our response to the 911 mass slaughter in the name of Islam. This is the moral sickness of the Democ rat party. Who elects these dangerous clowns?
Rebel pundit was there: "He rambled on about the typical racism and discrimination that the liberal left is so convinced America is rampantly infected with.”
The apology comes around the 2:15 mark in the above video:
Quigley gave remarks to the primarily muslim audience. He rambled on about the typical racism and discrimination that the liberal left is so convinced America is rampantly infected with. As you can see in the video below, he proceeded in his congressional capacity to apologize on behalf of the country for discrimination against muslims’ faith.
Such asshattery is without equal. Perhaps he can persuade a few Jews to join him and they can apologize to the Germans, too.
We all should be fighting and defeating jihad. We should all be denouncing the sharia and the most extreme ideology on the face of the earth (that goes for Muslims, too). Apologizing after 911, 7/7, 3/11, Times Square, Fort Hood, Christmas tree lighting bomb plan, etc., is submission.
The college where this sick act took place is a hotbed for Islamic extremism. I posted the following on its opening back in May 2009, when a group of American Muslims led by two jihadist sought to establish the first four-year accredited Islamic college in the United States, calling it a "Muslim Georgetown."
Advisers to the project have scheduled a June vote to decide whether the proposed Zaytuna College can open in the fall of next year, a major step toward developing the faith in America.
Imam Zaid Shakir and Sheik Hamza Yusuf of California have spent years planning the school, which will offer a liberal arts education and training in Islamic scholarship.
“They [Americans] were ungrateful for the bounties of Allah, and so Allah caused them to taste fear and hunger.”
Born as Mark Hanson in 1959 to parents who were American academics, Hamza Yusuf converted to Islam at age seventeen. Today he may be the West’s most influential Islamic scholar. With a reputation for hostility toward the United States and Israel, he commonly appears as a guest speaker at events organized by various chapters of the Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada.
On September 9, 2001 – just two days before the al Qaeda attacks against America – UCLA’s Al-Talib magazine co-sponsored a benefit dinner titled “Justice for Imam Jamil Al-Amin” (aka H. Rap Brown) at UC Irvine. Al-Amin had recently been convicted of murdering an Atlanta police officer who was attempting to arrest him. Among the speakers at this benefit was Sheikh Hamza Yusuf, who spoke about the fate he foresaw for America:
They [Americans] were ungrateful for the bounties of Allah, and so Allah caused them to taste fear and hunger. That is one reason and, I would say, that this country is facing a very terrible fate. The reason for that is that this country stands condemned. It stands condemned like Europe stood condemned for what it did. . . . This country [America] unfortunately has a great, a great tribulation coming to it. And much of it is already here, yet people are too to illiterate to read the writing on the wall.
At this same rally, Yusuf lamented that Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman, the blind Egyptian cleric convicted of masterminding the 1993 World Trade Center bombing as well as unfulfilled plans to destroy various Manhattan bridges and tunnels, had been “unjustly tried” and “condemned against any standards of justice in any legal system.”
There's more --
The other "scholar," Imam Zaid Shakir, wrote of Israel in July 2006:
The following essay, Islam: Religion or Ideology, was written three weeks ago, before the government of Israel began its brutal, murderous assault on the civilian population of Lebanon, allegedly in response to the capture of two Israeli soldiers by fighters affiliated with the Lebanese Islamic organization, Hizbollah. This latest Israeli campaign only underscores the price the people of the Middle East have paid owing to the triumph of Zionism. That price has been high indeed, and as Lebanon is reduced to bloodstained rubble, the price only escalates.
[...] However, in my opinion, the greater price lies in how the triumph of Zionism threatens to transform mainstream Judaism from a religion characterized by the loftiest of moral codes, to one that is willing to sacrifice its morality on the altar of political expediency. [...]
The following is part of an effort by this writer to warn Muslims against allowing the reduction of our religion by similar political imperatives. We should never hope to see the day when, if possessing the requisite firepower, Muslims would visit upon the civilian population of Israel the sort of savage violence we see decimating the innocent civilians of Gaza and Lebanon.
Islam: Religion or Ideology?
And then there's this chatter on an Islamic forum back in 2006:
http://tinyurl.com/qoytox
I would like to point out that Zaid Shakir is a confirmed wahhabi. Do not purchase or read any books written by the wahhabi Zaid Shakir or listen to any lectures by the wahhabi Zaid Shakir.
Come to Connecticut USA and visit Masjid Al-Islam in New Haven and see for yourself the wahhabi legacy left by Zaid Shakir at this place. He single handedly did a lot to promote wahhabism in the USA and especially Connecticut, and thus far he has not yet recanted any of it.
His wahhabi influenced writings are still published in a local deobandi wahhabi monthly publication titled "Iqraa".
Zaid Shakir may be trying to "turn a new page" and come off a sufi or something, but he has yet to do work to reverse the wahhabi ideas that he worked hard to spread.
And the notoriously Jewicidal, leftopathic magazine, Tikkun, ran Zaid Shakir's "review" of the movie Obsession:
Imam Zaid Shakir’s Response to “Obsession” - Tikkun Magazine: Obsessed with Defamation and Slander
This past September, 28 million copies of the anti-Islamic propaganda documentary Obsession were distributed free of charge in what were considered the “swing” states in the past presidential election campaign. This effort was clearly designed to leverage the idea in the minds of some Americans that Senator Barack Obama is a Muslim (he is not), seeking to identify him with the images and statements of Muslims portrayed in the video. These portrayals give the impression that Islam is a fanatical, bloodthirsty religion, whose adherents are hell-bent on destroying America. By implying a connection between Senator Obama and “radical” Islam, the film sought to prove that Obama was too anti-American to be seriously considered for the highest office in this land.
The film is propaganda that relies in some instances on distorting the truth and in others on blatant lies or vile innuendos. The film points to some extreme doctrines that the overwhelming majority of Muslims readily condemn, implying that “radical” Islam is the new fascism and that it poses an existential threat to the United States. This allegation is false and dangerous. To support this allegation, the film’s producers juxtapose scenes of Nazi marches and other forms of political imagery with corresponding Muslim images. I have previously discussed the exaggerated nature of the Islamic threat (see newislamicdirections.com). There I wrote (in September 2008):
In recent days, surrogates of one of my opponents have been distributing, free of charge, a disturbing DVD entitled Obsession. This film attempts to portray the maniacal rants of a minuscule fringe of deluded Muslim fanatics as an existential threat to the United States that must be combated by the full might of the United States’ military and society. It tries to deceive you into believing that “Radical Islam” and “Islamo-Fascism” is the twenty-first-century equivalent of Hitler’s Germany. Both history and contemporary reality belie that claim. Nazi Germany was an industrialized state that had military means that rivaled or surpassed those of America. Had circumstances proved more favorable for the Germans, they could have well developed an atomic bomb before America. Similarly, under more fortuitous circumstances, Germany’s ballistic missile program, which produced the deadly V2 Rocket, and its fighter aircraft program, which introduced the Messerschmitt 262, the world’s first tactical jet fighter, could have given Germany a tactical advantage that could have turned the tide of the war in Hitler’s favor.
A self-described "rule follower" went through an airport pornoscanner wearing a panty-liner (she was menstruating). Because the hygienic item obscured the screener's view of her vagina vulva, she was made to endure a humiliating fondling, "so invasive that I was left crying and dealing with memories that I thought had been dealt with years ago of prior sexual assaults."
These new scans are so horrible that if you are wearing something unusual (like a piece of cloth on your panties) then you will be subjected to a search where a woman repeatedly has to check your "groin" while another woman watches on (two in my case - they were training in a new girl - awesome). So please, please, tell the ladies not to wear their liners at the airport (I didn't even have an insert in). I'm a strong, confident woman; I'm an Army vet (which is why those camo liners crack me up), I work full-time and go to graduate school full-time, I have a wonderful husband, and I don't take any nonsense from anyone. I don't dramatize, and I don't exaggerate. I'm trying to give you a sense of who I am so you won't think that this is a plea for attention, or a jumping on the bandwagon about the recent TSA proposed boycott. I just don't want another woman to have to go through the "patting down" because she didn't know that her glad-rag would be a matter of national security."
When did we agree to surrender to Islam? Seriously. Whom did we appoint/elect to negotiate this surrender? Our surrender has been parceled out in loss of freedom, accommodation, and submission, and in foreign policy.
Explain to me how, after 911 and the tens of thousands of Islamic attacks across the world in the name of jihad, the myriad Muslim insurgencies in numerous countries, the destruction of Western civilization in Europe, and the hundreds of plots thwarted in the West, the American people were sacrificed without being consulted.
We cannot address jihad or the teachings that mandate Islamic imperialism and violence for the glory of "allah." Nothing is being done to defeat that which inspires the enemy. President Obama has banned Islamic extremism from the lexicon. When in India, he was asked for his opinion, his "take" on jihad, and he surrendered in his response: "Islam is one of the world's great religions."
Everyday we are forced to submit to some form of the sharia in businesses like Disney, Wal-mart, Target, Rising Star Industries, and J.B. Swift. Individuals are losing their jobs for insulting Islam -- mosqueing of the workplace, Islamic finance, academic jihad, virulent Islamic anti-semitism, historical revisionism, every aspect of our daily lives.
Societal surrender by the Obama administration and our political elites. And who softens us up for this civilizational suicide? The media.
Or TIME magazine's "Man of the Year" candidate, the radical imam Rauf who said that the "US has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-qaeda has the blood of innocent non-Muslims" and that Osama Bin Laden was made in the USA. Note the website -- Cordoba, iconic of Islamic conquest over the West.
UPDATE: I am thrilled to report the Muslim inciters were not successful -- here's the windup from the California Review:
Speaking to a sold-out Price Center Theatre, the Ambassador discussed the
importance of the US-Israel relationship and his own personal story. Tritons for
Israel and Hillel of San Diego brought the Ambassador to UC San Diego after he
chose to speak to both UC San Diego and UC Irvine.
After a brief welcome from the moderator, Dean Peter Cowhey, of the Graduate
School of International Relations and Pacfic Studies, who set the guidelines for
the event, Chancellor Mary Anne Fox graciously opened the lecture by thanking
the Tritons for Israel for bringing the Ambassador to speak at UC San Diego.
Sam Spector, the Vice President of Off Campus Outreach for the Tritons for
Israel introduced the Ambassador, later saying “It was an honor for us to host a
policymaker as influential and a historian as celebrated as Michael Oren. The
event could not have been more successful, the event was sold out, and students
were respectful and were able to engage in dialogue with the Ambassador. It was
a proud day for the pro-Israel movement at UCSD, and a proud day for our
University.”
However, as the speech turned towards more controversial issues, such as the
Israel-Palestine conflict, the Ambassador took several tough questions from
students. However, despite the rude behavior of protestors at UC Irvine, several
of whom may soon be facing expulsion and criminal charges, the protest of the
Ambassador at UCSD was minor, with no disruptions occurring in the event. Lior
Abramson, the Vice President of Culture of Tritons for Israel said “I thought it
was really great that the school could allow so much free speech so people could
voice their opinion on both sides”
If you missed the vile display of ugly Jew hatred by muslims at UC Irvine last week, please go here. This is a sign of the rise of an Islamic Reich in America and across the world.
The Israeli ambassador spoke at Stanford. Yet again, the newly empowered jihad in America is galvanizing its soldiers of allah to silence the Jews and criminalize our very existence.
Our universities have gone from being centers of learning and the free exchange of ideas to indoctrination centers for the overthrow of democracy and the imposition of statism and collectivist rule.
UPDATE: I thought it was going to be tonight but it took place already -- looking for reportage.
We will be
protesting in front of Encina Hall beginning at 6:15PM today. The Israeli
Ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, is visiting campus.
Oren participated
in the Gaza War, and has been given the duty of covering it up, attacking the
Goldstone report, and improving Israel's image in the US.
We need to show
Mr. Oren that truth, crushed to earth, will rise again. We also must make sure
that he understands that Stanford students do not accept war
criminals.
Please bring signs that say Stanford Says NO to WAR
CRIMINALS.
I hereby endorse Senatorial candidate Rabbi Nachum Shifren for the State Senate seat in California.
By Rabbi Nachum
Shifren February 13, 2010 NewsWithViews.com
Orange County,
CA — Here is an "Alice in Wonderland" campus reality — in which the characters
are deadly serious, and the suckers are us.
Let's be clear: these are not campus
"rowdies," or rude and disrespectful "students." These “students” are the front
line of an army of Muslims that is waiting patiently to take over and subvert
our country.
Confrontation and disruption is their
job. This is what they’ve been trained for, and they are right on target. As
their numbers and influence grow, they will be attempting a political takeover,
and if that doesn’t work, they will turn to further intimidation, murder and
terrorism — just as they’ve already proved in dozens of countries around the
world.
Here are eight Rules that guide muslim
“students”:
Rule #1: East is East, and West is West,
and the two worlds will forever remain divergent. Witness the throngs of
thousands mourning the death of Saddam Hussein. Why? Why was the Muslim world
remorseful about the demise of this butcher of at least one million of
his own countrymen? Because for the Arab, he represented strength. No matter if
he was feared and pushed Iraq 1,000 years into darkness. The rule that we in the
West refuse to acknowledge is simply that to the muslim, whoever is perceived as
strong, will be feared and will survive; and whoever is seen as weak,
irresolute, or wavering, will be despised and will be vanquished.
When
Muslim students at UC Irvine see their chancellor pleading, begging,
supplicating for "dialog," and "respect," they are not only sickened by such
weak-kneed exhibitions, they are emboldened to greater acts of anarchy and
contempt for everything that we in the West hold dear.
Rule
#2: Muslims expect total control and iron discipline in their own
countries. There are no "student unions." There, the students would not dare
raise their heads in disobedience, because they know what awaits them (no, you
will not find an Islamic version of the ACLU). But they can get away
with running amok here at UC Irvine, where we stupidly "accommodate" those who
advocate our demise.
Rule #3: This will be a hard bullet
for America to bite, but we are at war with Islam! Those who deny this
are quislings or fifth-columnists — and very often, university professors and
chancellors. With strong leadership, there would be no notions of "academic
freedom" for those who come here to subvert and destroy
Unfortunately,
the last California administrator with courage and real leadership abilities was
S.I. Hayakawa. Hayakawa would have donned his tam o’shanter cap and confronted
the student disrupters. Instead, at Irvine, the Muslim students will get a slap
on the wrist and be released, emboldening them a thousand times more.
Make no mistake: these students are the probing squads that are testing
the waters to see what they can get away with, positioning themselves to
ultimately shut down the entire campus when they please. These are among the
first salvos in a war that, until now, has been only academic and ideological —
at least in this country.
If you want to see where we are headed,
if we don’t find the courage to stand up to and defeat these muslim
terrorists-in-training, just look to France, Spain, England and other countries
where muslims have been allowed to get a toe-hold. Or consider the carnage
caused by just one insane muslim terrorist at Fort Hood, then multiply that many
times over, as more muslim terrorists consolidate their power base in our
country — and our state and their favorite breeding grounds, our campuses!
Rule #4: Jewish guilt uber alles. There is something
sad, even sinister about a people that has suffered pogroms, inquisitions,
crusades, and now jihad intifadas — and yet, tragically (psychotically?) refuses
to understand that they are on the chopping block of these marauders and
brigades from Hell.
In every campus where there is a Muslim Student
Union, there is a Jewish Student Union. When do we ever hear about "in your
face" actions against Muslim perfidy on these campuses (mini war zones) by
Jewish Students? Where are the rabbis, the Hillels, the Jewish
communities raising their voices loudly and stridently against these invaders of
the America that has let Jews find refuge and miraculous opportunity, in an
otherwise ugly world? How can this lemming-like behavior be explained? Muslim
students don’t bother explaining, they just exploit the intellectual dishonesty
and cowardice of the Jewish community.
Rule #5: Where
there is a vacuum, something will occupy it. Muslims judge that
decadent America, so obsessed with excess and titillation, has run its course.
And who can refute them? Corruption in our country is the order of the day! Teen
drop-ous, gangs and crime, greed and political abandonment of our Constitutional
principles all support the muslim’s view of our nation.
Without strength of character in our
leaders, and the courage of our people, we are poised to become just another
chapter in history — right next to the debauched and pillaged societies of
Greece and Rome. The muslim onslaught is at the gates; they are weary of our
self-indulgence and they abhor our eroding social mores and valueless culture.
They are sharpening the long knives, knowing that their time will come
shortly.
Rule #6: Jihadists and Muslim radicals cannot
subvert our country by themselves. They need a willing entourage of leftist and
communist sympathizers, fellow travelers, progressives and socialist utopians.
As the Prophet so clearly stated: "From your haters and destroyers, they
shall come forth."
As school teachers, we witness our students being
soft-balled the "religion of peace" so often, that to denounce it for the
bloodthirsty, contentious plague that it is, is to be accused of "hate crimes."
So it is we, the teachers, who must bear the burden of dumbing down several
generations of Americans, teaching “feel good” lessons, diluting the uniqueness
of the American Revolution, diminishing the strength of character that built a
strong, free nation, and the altar on which the Constitution and the Bill of
Rights are sacrificed. No wonder teachers are so despised in nearly every school
in the land!
And so, when the media and the rest of the sheeple gawk and
are “shocked, simply shocked” over one of our students who is caught in
Afghanistan fighting against our soldiers, who among us can still be shocked,
let alone surprised? We have seen the enemy on our campuses and universities,
and it is us! For if we educators, knowing what we do about the spread
of Islam and the subjugation of peoples and continents under its yoke, the lack
of freedom for women, the loss of freedom of speech and thought, and the
murderous credo of the Koran, do not stand up for truth in teaching, what
respect can we deserve? In our vanity, we think of ourselves as the elite of
society, serving as mentors to succeeding generations of youth yearning for
truth in knowledge — yet we have perverted the truth and accepted a revisionist
treatment of the story of man, of the history of the world and of the greatness
of the successful American experiment in liberty.
Should we be surprised
at the disdain of our students, who know they are not being held to the high
standards of their forebears? Shall we be surprised when the great body of
Americans shun and punish us for being the primary tool of “progressives” that
causes our once great land to fall into the abyss of socialism, and then tyranny
— as has been the history of other great nations?
What to do? Is
this dark drama irreversible on our campuses? No, not irreversible, but
it will take a revolution in thought and action. It must start with we educators
who see America as more than just a "job" and a cool vacation. It will take a
daily struggle for truth — and the best place to start is with the dictum: those
who wish respect, will do well to show self-respect. The Muslim riffraff did not
badmouth and malign that which they feared and respected at UC Irvine!
Those who will incite and seek to
undermine our institutions using our own openness and sense of fair play must be
removed from our campuses and our soil. Until we have the courage to do that, we
shall not be able to sustain a country where men of good will can dialogue and
debate ideas for the good of society.
"Muslim political participation, especially in a non-Muslim country, as a
form of jihad."
"(voting) participation most certainly includes voting for whichever party
or candidate best serves the needs and interests of the UK and indeed world
wide Muslim population. This does not mean approval or acceptance of the
ideal of secular democracy, but the intention is to use the means and
avenues available to benefit Muslims and the communities we reside in."
Tactical, collective voting in particular
instances, contests, contexts and times has been approved by many
Scholars of our time.
Islam is a comprehensive system where worship (`ibadah) and legislation
(Shari`ah) are merged. The distinction between the secular and
religious or spiritual realms is nothing new to Christianity, but is
alien to Islam and Muslims. This concept of duality in life can be
deemed unacceptable to Muslims. Muslims believe that Allah (swt) is the
sole Creator and Sustainer of the Worlds. One Who "…takes account of
every single thing (Qur'an 72:28); that He is omnipotent and
omniscient; that His mercy and bounties encompasses everyone and
suffice for all. In that capacity, Allah (swt) revealed His divine
guidance to humanity, made certain things permissible and others
prohibited, commanded people to observe His injunctions and to judge
according to them. If they do not do so, then they have committed
disobedience and transgression.
UPDATE: Today's CAIR media advisory - national Obamacare must be good for the ummah:

"Ban Ave Maria in the California Public Schools but Allow Islamic Prayers,"
by Joseph Klein for the NewsRealblog, September 13:
[...] The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion on September 8th
upholding a public school superintendent's decision to ban a student group's
performance of an instrumental version of "Ave Maria" at their public high
school's graduation ceremony. The superintendent's reason for the ban: because
the song might be interpreted by some as an endorsement of religion.
Remarkably, this left-leaning federal court sees no
inconsistency between its ruling several years ago allowing Islamic prayers to
be said on a daily basis in public school classrooms, and its current decision
to prohibit a one-time instrumental performance of a Christian-inspired musical
piece.
What will be next on the list of banned musical compositions -- The Battle
Hymn of the Republic?
It's back: the Saudi Islamic Academy that teaches jihad, grooms valedictorians cum presidential assassins, distributes hate textbooks etc., will have another hearing for their application to expand the school on state property. Bear in mind that two Christian schools were denied that same request. But it looks like the dhimmi board is going ahead. Make your voice heard.
How in bed is the county with ISA (Islamic Saudi Academy)? ISA Opponents filed a complaint with Attorney General over Fairfax County
Dinner Invitation by the Islamic Group. The Fairfax County government distributed invitations to a free dinner to
learn about the religion of "peace and harmony" -- Islam.
There is collusion between the county government and the Islamists and they
operate as one every time the ISA or related issues come up.
The Saudis have purchased the Fairfax County government.
Each speaker will be given a short three minutes to encourage the Board to vote
it down. If you don't want to speak just go to the podium and say you oppose
the approval of the ISA expansion proposal. Please sign up today.
James Lafferty, great American and leader of the Anti-Shariah Task Force, wrote this for Atlas:
Next Monday is the final hearing on the
radical Islamic Saudi Academy’s proposed expansion here in Fairfax
County, Virginia. We do not have a single vote right now and one
Supervisor, Pat Herrity who self-identifies as a “conservative”,
is bobbing and weaving like you wouldn’t believe.
The last hearing brought a huge wave of
new support to our campaign to shut down the “academy” and unmask
the undiluted Shariah which is being practiced and taught there.
The Fairfax County government has
dropped even the appearance of being impartial in this “land use”
dispute. The government’s official community outreach office sent
out an invitation to a free dinner to learn about the real message of
“peace and harmony” of Islam. It was distributed by official
government e-mail to churches throughout the county and sent to some
vocal opponents of the ISA.
ISA is a national issue. With the
cooperation of the local government, radical Islamists have
established a madrassah here in the rapidly expanding Islamist
enclave of Northern Virginia. Congressmen Frank Wolf (R-VA) and
Anthony Weiner (D-NY) have both complained to the State Department
about the Saudi-owned and operated “academy” but still no action.
Several national news organizations
have talked with us about covering the hearing.
Calls to the Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors (see attached) from outside Virginia will help us drive
home the fact that the “whole world is watching” and the
Supervisors cannot afford to reinforce the stereotype of corrupt
“Southern politicians” like those in the movies in which Rod
Steiger played the Sheriff.

The school deleted from its texts some of the most contentious passages,
including references to Jihad, killing infidels and hatred of Jews and
Christians.
But critics say the books are still "toxic" and contain more subtle
references, such as criticism of secular forms of government.
Ali Al-Ahmed, director of the Gulf Institute, which has been pressing the
school to make revision since 2004, told FOX News that the textbooks
characterize secular governments as "committing unbelief and allowing us to wage
war against them."
"So you're teaching American students -- implanting the seeds of insurgency
in these people -- and this is very dangerous," Al-Ahmed said.
He added that the textbooks teach girls that they should not aspire to be
judges or political leaders and when a girl gets married, she must ask her
husband if she wants to leave the house.
The school has stood by its latest revision.
[...]
The U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom says it wants to look
at the books but the Saudi government, which funds the academy, won't give the
panel a copy.
"We can't figure out what the Saudi government has to hide and why they
continually keep these secrets," said Felice Gaer, chairwoman of the
commission.
Gaer's panel released a 2008 report commissioned by the U.S. Congress which
stated the school's earlier textbooks contained several troubling passages,
including one that claims it is permissible for Muslims to kill adulterers and
converts from Islam, and another that claims "the Jews conspired against Islam
and its people."
Gaer said the State Department should translate the textbooks and determine
whether they encourage violence, which would be against the law.
[...]
The
Islamic Saudi Academy developed new Islamic studies textbooks for all
grades after a 2008 congressional report called portions of the
previous editions troubling.
But Al-Ahmed said the Gulf Institute is putting together a detailed report on
these textbooks that he says will show that the school "has been deceiving' the
American people on its real intention".
There is a serious issue related to radical Islamic
Wahabbists gaining a greater foothold in Fairfax/Fairfax County.
On July 13th, there will be a
very important Fairfax County Planning Commission meeting to hear from the
public about the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA)’s request to expand their Shariah
based school.
The ISA wants to replace the current building on the property
with a very large two-story structure which will give them 10 times the square
footage they have presently. There will be a place to meet and pray for student use
only—this will be a mosque.
The Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA), founded, funded, and controlled by the Saudi
Government, seeks to expand its school in Fairfax on Popes Head Road.
Currently the ISA has two locations , an upper grade school near Ft Belvoir/Mt
Vernon and a lower grade school in Fairfax. The Wahabbists want to consolidate
all 900 (and growing) students at the Fairfax location.
At the center of the controversy are the school’s curriculum and the crimes
committed by those who attended or worked at the ISA:
Ismail Selim Elbarasse
served as an accountant at ISA for 14 years before he was arrested for
videotaping bridge structures including the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in August,
2004. On the day of his arrest, he was also named as an “unindicted
co-conspirator” for laundering money on behalf of the American affiliate of
Hamas.
Ahmed Omar Abu Ali,
an ISA valedictorian, is serving a thirty-year prison sentence for providing
material support to Al-Qaeda and plotting to assassinate President G.W. Bush.
Abdalla I. Al-Shabnan,
Director General (Principal) ISA, was arrested by Fairfax police in June, 2008
for obstruction of justice and failing to report a case of child sexual abuse
involving a five year old girl at the Popes Head campus. Al-Shabnan was fined
$500.
§Mohammed El-Yacoubi and Mohammed Osman Idris, were denied entry into
Israel when authorities there found El-Yacoubi carrying what the FBI believed
was a suicide note linked to a planned martyrdom operation in
Israel.
There is a pattern of anti-American, anti-Semitic and
anti-Christian activity at the Islamic Saudi Academy. The curriculum sanctions
murder against Jews, adulterers, homosexuals, and
converts from Islam—for all other Americans these would be considered
crimes.
Each time the ISA gets caught and there is a new flare-up
over the hate taught at the ISA, the school “fixes” the curriculum a little. In
anticipation of this zoning request, Planning Commission hearings and then the
full Board hearing , the ISA has once again claimed they have altered their
textbooks. However, while the Islamic Saudi Academy deleted some of the most
contentious passages from the texts, copies provided to The Associated Press
show that enough sensitive material remains to fuel critics who claim the books
show intolerance toward those who do not follow strict interpretations of
Islamic Shariah.
Because this school is operated by
the Saudi government, it teaches from the Wahabbist Saudi texts provided by the
Saudi Ministry of Education. Just as an American school overseas teaches
“American” curriculum such as the Revolutionary War, our Presidents and major
holidays--this school teaches Wahabbist curriculum.
The Saudi Ministry of Education texts have taught young
people that peaceful coexistence with so-called “infidels” is unattainable and
that violence to spread Islam is not only permissible, but an obligation. It
encourages violence toward others, and misguides the pupils into believing that
in order to safeguard their own religion; they must violently repress and even
physically eliminate the other.
Just a Glimpse of What is Taught
15 of the 19 hijackers on September 11th were
Saudi--educated in schools just like the ISA with
Wahabbist curriculum.
·Islam teaches that Jews are apes, the keepers of the Sabbath; while the
swine are the Christian infidels of the communion of Jesus.
The Saudi Ministry of
Education texts have taught young people that peaceful coexistence with
so-called “infidels” is unattainable and that violence to spread Islam is not
only permissible, but an obligation. It encourages violence toward others, and
misguides the pupils into believing that in order to safeguard their own
religion; they must violently repress and even physically eliminate the other.
It is permissible for a
Muslim to kill an apostate (a convert from Islam), an adulterer, or someone who
has murdered a believer intentionally: “He (praised is He) prohibits killing the
soul that God has forbidden (to kill) unless for just cause…” Just cause is
then defined in the text as “unbelief after belief, adultery, and killing an
inviolable believer intentionally.” (Tafsir, Arabic/Sharia, 123)
Jihad in the path of God –
which consists of battling against unbelief, oppression, injustice, and those
who perpetrate it – is the summit of Islam. This religion arose through jihad
and through jihad was its banner raised high. It is one of the noblest acts,
which brings one closer to God, and one of the most magnificent acts of
obedience to God.
·When is battle jihad in the path of God? … To fulfill an order from
God,sacrifice in His path, spread the creed of monotheism, defend the realms of
Islam and Muslims, and raise up the word of God. This is jihad in the path of
God.
·Jihad continues until the Day of Resurrection.

Again, we
need people to attend. Most who attend can just be a presence and pray. Those
who like to testify can do so. My husband Jim and I will help with testimony
preparation. Last year, when I registered to testify I was the only one.
When we arrived (grp of 5) we were well out numbered. Jim was viciously
attacked by Chairman Connelly (now Congressman) who repeatedly accused him (and
the rest of us) of slander.
Wahabbists are colonizing many areas of Northern Virginia.
America’s history can be described as waves of immigrants coming to our shores
seeking liberty and freedom. The Wahabbists come to America and immediately
conspire to reduce our liberty and freedom and impose their brutal Islamic
Shariah law—and using our very laws against us to do this. This is the
difference between them and other immigrants.

Obama sat in this man's pew for twenty years. Twenty years. Is it any wonder that Obama would be lethal for Israel?
Bear in mind that before Wright was a "pastor," he was a member of the Nation of Islam. And even today, Jeremiah Wright's bodyguards are Nation of Islam thugs. Virulent Jew haters and America haters.
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright says he does not feel any regrets over his severed
relationship with President Barack Obama, a former member of the Chicago church
in which Wright was the longtime pastor.
Wright also said that he had not
spoken to his former church member since Obama became president, implying that
the White House won't allow Obama to talk to him. He did not indicate whether he
had tried to reach Obama.
"Regret for what... that the media went back
five, seven, 10 years and spent $4,000 buying 20 years worth of sermons to hear
what I've been preaching for 20 years? "Regret for preaching like I've
been preaching for 50 years? Absolutely none," Wright said.
[...]
Asked if he had spoken to the President,
Wright said: "Them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby
daughter, that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck, or in eight
years when he's out of office. ...
"They will not let him to talk to
somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a
politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."
Wright
also said Obama should have sent a U.S. delegation to the World Conference on
Racism held recently in Geneva, Switzerland, but that the president did not do
so for fear of offending Jews and Israel. "Ethic cleansing is going on in
Gaza. Ethnic cleansing of the Zionist is a sin and a crime against humanity, and
they don't want Barack talking like that because that's anti-Israel," Wright
said.
Complaints that the U.S. government's Voice of America (VOA)
interviewed a top Pakistani Taliban leader have sparked an
investigation into VOA's Pashto language service to determine if it has
allowed itself to become a platform for terrorist propaganda.
In a letter obtained by The Washington Times, the State
Department's acting inspector general, Harold Geisel, said his office
will conduct a review "to determine the effectiveness of their
broadcast and editorial practices and policies." The service broadcasts
into the Afghanistan-Pakistan border region that serves as a refuge for
al Qaeda and the Taliban.
The probe was spurred by concerns first raised by Rep. Mark
Steven Kirk, an Illinois Republican who in the past had championed the
Pashto-language service known as Deewa Radio. Mr. Kirk said he became
concerned that American taxpayers were providing the Taliban a
megaphone after he learned that Pakistani Taliban leader Baitullah
Mehsud had been interviewed by the service -- and claimed
responsibility for terrorist bombings in the Pakistani city of Lahore
in March
The leader of the Pakistan Taliban is Baitullah Mehsud, who claimed
responsibility for an attack on a police compound in Lahore and promised to
attack the West. (more here)
Of the two Taliban groups, Mehsud's is the most feared – he has been accused
of masterminding the assassination of former prime minister Benazir Bhutto and
trained Osama bin Laden's son as one of his commanders –
"I
accept responsibility. They were my men. I gave them orders in reaction
to
U.S. drone attacks," Baituallah Mehsud told Reuters by telephone
from an undisclosed location on Saturday.
So US tax dollars are being used to pay for the propaganda of Baitullah
Mehsud and other terrorists. This is an outrage. The VOA is desperately in need of scrutiny, and oversight of its traitorous editorial
practices.
VOA Director Danforth Austin said Deewa Radio was simply seeking to
report the news in a way that was credible to listeners from the same
ethnic Pashtun group as the Taliban.
[..]
The investigation of VOA's Pashto service is another example of the
long-standing tension about the role of American-funded broadcasting.
Audrey Hudson and Eli Lake confirm the story that Atlas broke on the blog this past weekend. The report is the blueprint for Obama's war on Conservatives and patriotic Americans.
I have documented and covered the most extreme anti-American leftist Islamic rallies across this country for the past five years, and have never seen garbage like this on the real enemies of this great country.
The White House has distanced itself from the analysis. When
asked for comment on its contents, White House spokesman Nick Shapiro said, "The
President is focused not on politics but rather taking the steps necessary to
protect all Americans from the threat of violence and terrorism regardless of
its origins. He also believes those who serve represent the best of this
country, and he will continue to ensure that our veterans receive the respect
and benefits they have earned."
It is the fascist blueprint to create a police state and legalize
gulags. This is not a spoof. This is Obama's "civilian army's" MOB.
(hat tip the Rockman)
A footnote attached to the report by the Homeland Security Office of Intelligence
and Analysis defines "rightwing extremism in the United States" as including not
just racist or hate groups, but also groups that reject federal authority in
favor of state or local authority.
"It may include groups and individuals that are dedicated to a single-issue,
such as opposition to abortion or immigration," the warning says.

Liar.
It says the federal government "will be working with its state and local
partners over the next several months" to gather information on "rightwing
extremist activity in the United States."
The joint federal-state activities will have "a particular emphasis" on the
causes of "rightwing extremist radicalization."
Homeland Security spokeswoman Sara Kuban said the report is one in an ongoing
series of assessments by the department to "facilitate a greater understanding
of the phenomenon of violent radicalization in the U.S."
The report, which was first disclosed to the public by nationally syndicated
radio host Roger Hedgecock, makes clear that the Homeland Security Department
does not have "specific information that domestic rightwing terrorists are
currently planning acts of violence."It warns that fringe organizations are
gaining recruits, but it provides no numbers.
The report says extremist groups have used President Obama as a recruiting
tool.
Have you seen this? It is the fascist blueprint to create a police state and legalize gulags. This is not a spoof. This is Obama's "civilian army's" MOB. According to Obama's DHS, patriots are the real threat to America - read the whole hot mess here. Download Rightwing Extremism Document (hat tip the Rockman)
(U) Key Findings (U//LES) The DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I&A) has no specific information that domestic rightwing* terrorists are currently planning acts of violence, but rightwing extremists may be gaining new recruits by playing on their fears about several emergent issues. The economic downturn and the election of the first African American president present unique drivers for rightwing radicalization and recruitment.
Translation: There is no threat. Give us time, we'll create one.
— (U//LES) Threats from white supremacist and violent antigovernment groups during 2009 have been largely rhetorical and have not indicated plans to carry out violent acts. Nevertheless, the consequences of a prolonged economic downturn—including real estate foreclosures, unemployment, and an inability to obtain credit—could create a fertile recruiting environment for rightwing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past.
Translation: There is no threat. Give us time, we'll create one.
(U//FOUO) The current economic and political climate has some similarities to the 1990s when rightwing extremism experienced a resurgence fueled largely by an economic recession, criticism about the outsourcing of jobs, and the perceived threat to U.S. power and sovereignty by other foreign powers.
American sovereignty is a radical position now?
— (U//FOUO) During the 1990s, these issues contributed to the growth in the number of domestic rightwing terrorist and extremist groups and an increase in violent acts targeting government facilities, law enforcement officers, banks, and infrastructure sectors.
Sounds like they are describing Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, Obama's great friends and terrorist patriots!~
— (U//FOUO) Growth of these groups subsided in reaction to increased government scrutiny as a result of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing and disrupted plots, improvements in the economy, and the continued U.S. standing as the preeminent world power.
(U//FOUO) The possible passage of new restrictions on firearms and the return of military veterans facing significant challenges reintegrating into their communities could lead to the potential emergence of terrorist groups or lone wolf extremists capable of carrying out violent attacks.
Ah, there it is. take their guns away. Jail'em if they disagree.
— (U//FOUO) Proposed imposition of firearms restrictions and weapons bans likely would attract new members into the ranks of rightwing extremist groups, as well as potentially spur some of them to begin planning and training for violence against the government. The high volume of purchases and stockpiling of weapons and ammunition by rightwing extremists in anticipation of restrictions and bans in some parts of the country continue to be a primary concern to law enforcement. —
Ban? What ban? This is a staging. Fake staging to seize weapons.
(U//FOUO) Returning veterans possess combat skills and experience that are attractive to rightwing extremists. DHS/I&A is concerned that rightwing extremists will attempt to recruit and radicalize returning veterans in order to boost their violent capabilities.
Radicalize the nation's greatest patriots. Are you seeing this? The only radicalization happening on a national/global scale is Islamic jihad. Our vets????
(U) Current Economic and Political Climate
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that a number of economic and political factors are driving a resurgence in rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization activity. Despite similarities to the climate of the 1990s, the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years. In addition, the historical election of an African American president and the prospect of policy changes are proving to be a driving force for rightwing extremist recruitment and radicalization. —
There he goes again. Playing the race card again. Racism was dead in this country. It is Obama's objective to create a divisive schism in this country. The country ain't buying it. We, as a nation, elected him. Racism charge dead.
(U) A recent example of the potential violence associated with a rise in rightwing extremism may be found in the shooting deaths of three police officers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on 4 April 2009. The alleged gunman’s reaction reportedly was influenced by his racist ideology and belief in antigovernment conspiracy theories related to gun confiscations, citizen detention camps, and a Jewish-controlled “one world government.”
One friggin nut and they will try to change the constitution. Thousands of Islamic attacks, honor killings, clitorectomies, shariah law, child marriage, child slavery, human slavery, lashings -- deduce nothing! And should you mention any of these things -- you are a racist and Islamophobe.
As a Jew, this nut does not worry me. There will always be nuts - exceptions make bad law.
Where does this report address the thousands of acts of lone jihad syndrome, here and abroad? Suicide or otherwise?
(U) Exploiting Economic Downturn
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist chatter on the Internet continues to focus on the economy, the perceived loss of U.S. jobs in the manufacturing and construction sectors, and home foreclosures. Anti-Semitic extremists attribute these losses to a deliberate conspiracy conducted by a cabal of Jewish “financial elites.” These “accusatory” tactics are employed to draw new recruits into rightwing extremist groups and further radicalize those already subscribing to extremist beliefs. DHS/I&A assesses this trend is likely to accelerate if the economy is perceived to worsen.
(U//FOUO) Perceptions on Poverty and Radicalization
(U//FOUO) Scholars and experts disagree over poverty’s role in motivating violent radicalization or terrorist activity. High unemployment, however, has the potential to lead to alienation, thus increasing an individual’s susceptibility to extremist ideas. According to a 2007 study from the German Institute for Economic Research, there appears to be a strong association between a parent’s unemployment status and the formation of rightwing extremist beliefs in their children—specifically xenophobia and antidemocratic ideals. ownership and use. Rightwing extremists are increasingly galvanized by these concerns and leverage them as drivers for recruitment. From the 2008 election timeframe to the present, rightwing extremists have capitalized on related racial and political prejudices in expanded propaganda campaigns, thereby reaching out to a wider audience of potential sympathizers. —
Translation: Anyone who believes in immigration control and reform is an extremist. This is the club to the head of any resistance to shamnesty.
The German Institute? WTF? Who the hell are they and why should we care?
(U//LES) Most statements by rightwing extremists have been rhetorical, expressing concerns about the election of the first African American president, but stopping short of calls for violent action. In two instances in the run-up to the election, extremists appeared to be in the early planning stages of some threatening activity targeting the Democratic nominee, but law enforcement interceded.
Never happened. Look at history. Recent assassination attempts have been by leftopaths (Squeaky), commies (Oswald) and nuts (Hinckley).
(U) Revisiting the 1990s
(U//FOUO) Paralleling the current national climate, rightwing extremists during the 1990s exploited a variety of social issues and political themes to increase group visibility and recruit new members. Prominent among these themes were the militia movement’s opposition to gun control efforts, criticism of free trade agreements (particularly those with Mexico), and highlighting perceived government infringement on civil liberties as well as white supremacists’ longstanding exploitation of social issues such as abortion, inter-racial crimes, and same-sex marriage.
Abortion, gay marriage and racism -- the inane drone of the left. I have been to these rallies and let me tell you - the proponents of gay marriage, abortion and "racism canards" are the violent ones. Every time.
(U) Economic Hardship and Extremism
(U//FOUO) Historically, domestic rightwing extremists have feared, predicted, and anticipated a cataclysmic economic collapse in the United States. Prominent antigovernment conspiracy theorists have incorporated aspects of an impending economic collapse to intensify fear and paranoia among like-minded individuals and to attract recruits during times of economic uncertainty. Conspiracy theories involving declarations of martial law, impending civil strife or racial conflict, suspension of the U.S. Constitution, and the creation of citizen detention camps often incorporate aspects of a failed economy. Antigovernment conspiracy theories and “end times” prophecies could motivate extremist individuals and groups to stockpile food, ammunition, and weapons. These teachings also have been linked with the radicalization of domestic extremist individuals and groups in the past, such as violent Christian Identity organizations and extremist members of the militia movement
Obama has set about to bankrupt this nation with a nine trillion rip off of the national treasury. The bankrupting of the hardworking to pay off his thug political machine and his thug army. Any great American (think tea parties) who dissents will be targeted.
Page 5 of 9 (U) Illegal Immigration
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremists were concerned during the 1990s with the perception that illegal immigrants were taking away American jobs through their willingness to work at significantly lower wages. They also opposed free trade agreements, arguing that these arrangements resulted in Americans losing jobs to countries such as Mexico.
(U//FOUO) Over the past five years, various rightwing extremists, including militias and white supremacists, have adopted the immigration issue as a call to action, rallying point, and recruiting tool. Debates over appropriate immigration levels and enforcement policy generally fall within the realm of protected political speech under the First Amendment, but in some cases, anti-immigration or strident pro-enforcement fervor has been directed against specific groups and has the potential to turn violent.
Obama wants shamnesty. Obama wants to open up the flood gates, have ACORN register them to vote - overwhelm the electorate with entitlement voters. The end the will of the American people - the end of fair elections.
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that rightwing extremist groups’ frustration over a perceived lack of government action on illegal immigration has the potential to incite individuals or small groups toward violence. If such violence were to occur, it likely would be isolated, small-scale, and directed at specific immigration-related targets. —
Check out the word "perceived" - the fact that the government is doing nothing is beside the point, right? The reference "directed at specific immigration-related targets" refers to Binghamton -- and my sources tell me, Binghamton was not a lone gunman -- was not a guy who was pissed because he lost his job. My sources tell me there were supposed to me more. It was retaliation in that Muslim enclave.
[...]
Page 6 of 9 — (U//FOUO) On the current front, legislation has been proposed this year requiring mandatory registration of all firearms in the United States. Similar legislation was introduced in 2008 in several states proposing mandatory tagging and registration of ammunition. It is unclear if either bill will be passed into law; nonetheless, a correlation may exist between the potential passage of gun control legislation and increased hoarding of ammunition, weapons stockpiling, and paramilitary training activities among rightwing extremists.
Gun control. Period.
(U) Perceived Threat from Rise of Other Countries
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist paranoia of foreign regimes could escalate or be magnified in the event of an economic crisis or military confrontation, harkening back to the “New World Order” conspiracy theories of the 1990s. The dissolution of Communist countries in Eastern Europe and the end of the Soviet Union in the 1990s led some rightwing extremists to believe that a “New World Order” would bring about a world government that would usurp the sovereignty of the United States and its Constitution, thus infringing upon their liberty. The dynamics in 2009 are somewhat similar, as other countries, including China, India, and Russia, as well as some smaller, oil-producing states, are experiencing a rise in economic power and influence. —
Soros got his ............
(U//FOUO) Lone Wolves and Small Terrorist Cells
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A assesses that lone wolves and small terrorist cells embracing violent rightwing extremist ideology are the most dangerous domestic terrorism threat in the United States. Information from law enforcement and nongovernmental organizations indicates lone wolves and small terrorist cells have shown intent—and, in some cases, the capability—to commit violent acts. —
"Lone wolves and "terror cells" embracing rightwing ideology are the most "dangerous domestic terrorism threat to the United States"?
This document poses the most dangerous threat to these great United States.
(U//LES) DHS/I&A has concluded that white supremacist lone wolves pose the most significant domestic terrorist threat because of their low profile and autonomy—separate from any formalized group—which hampers warning efforts. —
(U//FOUO) Similarly, recent state and municipal law enforcement reporting has warned of the dangers of rightwing extremists embracing the tactics of “leaderless resistance” and of lone wolves carrying out acts of violence. —
(U//FOUO) Arrests in the past several years of radical militia members in Alabama, Arkansas, and Pennsylvania on firearms, explosives, and other related violations indicates the emergence of small, well-armed extremist groups in some rural areas. ordnance that they planned to use in attacks on nearby military and federal facilities and infrastructure targets. —
(U//FOUO) Rightwing extremist views bemoan the decline of U.S. stature and have recently focused on themes such as the loss of U.S. manufacturing capability to China and India, Russia’s control of energy resources and use of these to pressure other countries, and China’s investment in U.S. real estate and corporations as a part of subversion strategy.
Rightwing extremist views bemoan the decline of U.S. stature? LIE. Obama fallaciously preaches about the decline of US stature us right wing Patriots know better.
Obama and his minions cannot demoralize Americans who love this country. Not possible. His Alinsky rules for radicals will not work on thinking, rational men and women.
(U) After Operation Desert Shield/Storm in 1990-1991, some returning military veterans—including Timothy McVeigh—joined or associated with rightwing extremist groups. —
He hates the military.
[...]
(U//FOUO) Unlike the earlier period, the advent of the Internet and other informationage technologies since the 1990s has given domestic extremists greater access to information related to bomb-making, weapons training, and tactics, as well as targeting of individuals, organizations, and facilities, potentially making extremist individuals and groups more dangerous and the consequences of their violence more severe. New technologies also permit domestic extremists to send and receive encrypted communications and to network with other extremists throughout the country and abroad, making it much more difficult for law enforcement to deter, prevent, or preempt a violent extremist attack.
(U//FOUO) A number of law enforcement actions and external factors were effective in limiting the militia movement during the 1990s and could be utilized in today’s climate. —
(U//FOUO) Following the 1995 bombing of the Alfred P. Murrah federal building in Oklahoma City, the militia movement declined in total membership and in the number of organized groups because many members distanced themselves from the movement as a result of the intense scrutiny militias received after the bombing. —
They have one bombing -- one (with Middle Eastern connections that were suppressed) - and this is the basis of their takeover and coup on the Constitution.
Free men are under siege. Read this document - Department of [undermining] Homeland Security.
(U//FOUO) Militia membership continued to decline after the turn of the millennium as a result of law enforcement disruptions of multiple terrorist plots linked to violent rightwing extremists, new legislation banning paramilitary training, and militia frustration that the “revolution” never materialized. —
(U//FOUO) Although the U.S. economy experienced a significant recovery and many perceived a concomitant rise in U.S. standing in the world, white supremacist groups continued to experience slight growth.
(U//FOUO) DHS/I&A will be working with its state and local partners over the next several months to ascertain with greater regional specificity the rise in rightwing extremist activity in the United States, with a particular emphasis on the political, economic, and social factors that drive rightwing extremist radicalization.

The “Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education Act” (GIVE act). HR 1388 has just passed the Senate.
In the
bill, Obama sets up the mechanics that he passed in the Stimulus
Package for his volunteer operations — including setting up a
government funded corporation with a Board of Directors and CEO. What
is frightening is the tentacles that this will entail as all agencies
need to create positions for these volunteers. Yada … yada .. I could
go on as how he has tied his FEMA Scheme for the Civilian Security
Defense Force into this legislation, but now they’re called “National
Volunteer Reserve Corps.” This creates images of the Peace Corps, but
it is something far more sinister. In addition, the legislation is
targeting foster kids, disadvantaged teens and more specifically BLACK
colleges and universities. Reading the provisions, it smacks of a
program tailor-made for ACORN. It is a bill that has reverse
discrimination all over it as it is NOT designed for middle-class
Americans to benefit from — regardless of your race. But this is NOT
what has piffed me off.

The GIVE Act has 12 amendments. The one I am outraged over is House
Amendment 49. It reads: “H.Amdt49 Pass Amendment to prohibit
organizations from attempting to influence legislation; organize or
engage in protests, petitions, boycotts, or strikes; and assist,
promote, or deter union organizing.”
If I read that right, your First Amendment rights of Free Speech just were legislated out the door. ( Kalani in the Atlas comments section here)
You can read the final version of the House bill here.
The legislation is a long string of amendments to existing laws that
make it almost impossible to understand. (Really. This legislation is
incomprehensible. I challenge you to click on this link and try to read the bill.)
There
appears to be little volunteerism and almost no education in the bill.
But there are a lot of make-work government jobs for doing God only
knows what.
For example:SEC. 122. NATIONAL SERVICE PROGRAMS ELIGIBLE FOR PROGRAM ASSISTANCE.

Does
that read like a voluntary program for, say, cleaning up the
neighborhood? Or does it seem more like directions for funding a labor
camp?
That America’s young people are not up in arms at the
very idea of this bill demonstrates how ill-informed, or brain washed,
the graduates of our public education system have become.
The
Senate could vote on the bill today or tomorrow. You may want to
contact your senator and see if you can help stop this monstrosity. If
not, the People’s Republic takes its first baby step when the Senate
passes HR 1388.
Men like Allen West are America's last, best hope. West, Congressional candidate in 2010 and a leading contender for the White House in 2012, sent me this note along with his monthly column:
I am truly angry about what is happening in our America, and since there are no such voices coming off Capitol Hill from Republican leadership......someone has to fight back, let it be me!
We have the Blair-Holt Firearm Licensing and Record of Sale Act as well as this Generations Invigorating Volunteerism and Education (GIVE) Act sitting in the House of Reps. We had best wake the hell up and realize that these liberal socialists have lost their minds.
Steadfast and Loyal, Allen
Washingtoons
17 March 2009
Lieutenant Colonel Allen B West (US Army, Retired)
Greetings fellow South Florida riders, South Floridians, and Americans, here we are for another monthly installment of our Wheels on the Road political assessment. It is hard to believe how fast a month flies by but it seems that we have been under the Obama administration for years; perhaps it is the everyday speeches.
I hate speeches.
I pride myself in being a person of calm demeanor, unless of course you are Attorney General Eric Holder and you call my America a “nation of cowards”. So as I begin this month’s article I find myself on the verge of total rage which is great for writing.
In these first 60 days of the Obama administration I am beginning to have concern over issues of national security. There have been some very disturbing trends which I will share in this month’s column.
It first started right after the coronation; I mean inauguration, with the first phone call going to Mahmoud Abbas. Last time I checked the leader of the displaced Arab nomad group in the West Bank called Fatah was not a National leader, or ally. Considering all the other key allies who have stood by the United States, why was this gentleman first for a new President to call?
Next came the series of executive orders which commanded we shut down Guantanamo Bay (GITMO) detention facility, stop any harsh treatment of terrorists, and ceased any ongoing military trials against those being held. Now just recently we have heard from the infamous GITMO 5 who have claimed they take utmost pride in what they have accomplished to include the atrocities of 9-11.
We know that some 60 released detainees went right back to the battlefield to include several who are now leaders in Yemen and Afghanistan. Some would say this recidivism rate is low, however, not when you are the US man or woman in uniform overseas fighting.
As of 13 March we have been instructed by this administration that we can no longer call these fellas “enemy combatants”. Hmm, lets see, how about we call them “Friendly Frustrated Freedom Fighters”? I am certain we should consult Dr Phil for a proper means to address these cheeky fellows without damaging their self-esteem.
New Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano recently stated in an interview that she found using the term terrorism nuanced. She preferred using the term “man created disasters”. Well, Secretary Napolitano, if there is another “man created disaster” perpetrated by “Friendly Frustrated Freedom Fighters” Americans not take that too kindly.
Does an IED fall into the category of a “man created disaster”?
Soon after the series of executive orders focusing on GITMO the President gave his first TV interview, with Al Arabiya. During that interview he remarked about a return to better relations with the Muslim world, like 30 years ago. Perhaps the President did not realize that in Iran they have been celebrating the 30 year anniversary of the Islamic revolution.
I remember that being a very sad and embarrassing episode in American history, can you say Embassy hostages?
At a time when we are having serious economic issues the American taxpayers are now sending $900 Million to the Gaza Strip for rebuilding. The “political” entity controlling Gaza is called Hamas, and they are a “Friendly Frustrated Freedom Fighter” organization. I can certainly bet that the only thing being rebuilt will be tunnels from Egypt into Gaza.
Along with that piece of change, is, by executive order, $20.3 Million going to resettle pro-Hamas Palestinians to the USA…..did anyone ask the American people about this?
First planned foreign country visit? Turkey, where “Friendly Frustrated Freedom Fighter” ideology is taking root (I call it radical Islamic ideology, but don’t tell anyone, I could be arrested for hate speech).
So far the President’s only visit to a US military installation was to Camp Lejeune NC, home of the US Marine II Expeditionary Force, a place where I spent three great years. The purpose was to announce his plan for withdrawal from Iraq.
Could you imagine Alexander the Great telling his Macedonians, “well guys, that whole bit about conquering the world, I was just kidding, let’s go home”. Warriors want to be inspired.
President Obama and Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi have both referred to our ICE agents as terrorizing Hispanics and being un-American. That should really inspire them to protect us against illegal immigrants.
Ok, you are asking so what? Well, this is the so what, President Obama has decided that our wounded warriors and others with service related injuries will have to use private insurance. AFLAC does not send our men and women into harm’s way to defend our way of life, the Constitution mandates the government do so.
The so what is that why are we placating and appeasing the enemy while abandoning those who stay on the wall protecting our America? That has me fuming and truly concerned about the loyalties of this President.
Nero fiddled while Rome burned; our President Barack Hussein Obama has Wednesday evening parties in the White House.
On Friday, President Obama reiterated for the umpteenth time his determination
to develop a "new relationship" with the Muslim world. On this occasion, the
audience was the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and the Philippines.
Unfortunately, it increasingly appears that, in so doing, he will be embracing
the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood – an organization dedicated to promoting
the theo-political-legal program authoritative Islam
calls Shariah and that has the self-described mission
of "destroying Western civilization from within."
As part of Mr. Obama's "Respect Islam" campaign, he will travel to Turkey
in early April. While there, he will not only pay tribute to an Islamist
government that has systematically wrested every institution from the secular
tradition of Ataturk and put the country squarely on the path to Islamification.
He will also participate in something called the "Alliance of Civilizations."
Bat Ye'or said the following of the Alliance of Civilizations in a speech given at the Counter Jihad conference in Brussels in 2007: The Alliance of Civilizations, created to oppose the clash of civilizations, that is jihad, hasalso added pressure. On 13 November 2006, the High-Level Group of the Alliance ofCivilizations presented its report which sums up the request of the OIC at its Mecca Summit in 2005, after the Cartoons affair. First, it adopts the Islamic view of history and politics byclaiming that everything was fine between the three monotheistic religions until the 19thcentury, when the evil of European colonialism and Zionism destroyed this harmony. Then itaffirms that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the main source of Christian-Muslimantagonism, not the jihadist war and ideology that deny for others the right to exist. It proclaims that this conflict “remains one of the gravest threats to international stability” and formulates recommendations that again echo the OIC requests. Such views mirror Hitler accusing the Jews of fomenting World War II, or the Protocols of the Elders of Zion, praisedin the Hamas charter, the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood which denies Israel’s
right to exist.
The recent meeting of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (and here)
(OSCE Conference on intolerance and discrimination against Muslims, Cordoba, 9-10
October 2007) is much of the same, a charter of dhimmitude. It examines the means to
condition Europeans to respect Muslim immigrants and accept their culture. Although racism
against Muslims as well as against any other should be punished, nowhere do we see in any of
these texts a genuine desire to understand the fears of Europeans aggressed in their own
country by local jihadist cells, their anger at the Muslim scriptures and history loaded with
anti-Jewish and anti-Christian stereotypes which they bring into Europe, the continual
incitement to hate and war against the infidels, particularly against Israel and America, the
inferiority of women and the legal oppression of non-Muslims. The accusations of
Islamophobia totally overlook these facts as if they emerge from a vacuum. The Eurabian
moral dishonesty that incriminates Israel’s self-defense in order to exist is now projected onto
Europe, guilty when protecting itself against Islamic terrorism. Our self-defense is considered
an aggression that victimizes Muslims. We are in fact in a logic of dhimmitude within Europe.
The Alliance is a UN-sponsored affair that reflects – as, increasingly do
most things the United Nations is involved in – the views of the Organization of
the Islamic Conference (OIC). The OIC is made up of 57 Muslim-majority nations.
Thanks to support from Saudi Arabia and its proxies, the Muslim Brotherhood has
become a driving force within the Conference and their agendas largely coincide.
For example, in 2005 a communiqué issued after a summit in Mecca declared:
"The Conference underlined the need to collectively endeavor to reflect the
noble Islamic values, counter Islamophobia, defamation of Islam and its values
and desecration of Islamic holy sites, and to effectively coordinate with States
as well as regional and international institutions and organizations to urge
them to criminalize this phenomenon as a form of racism."
The logic of dhimmitude.
Ominously, as part of its bid to "criminalize" Islamophobia, the OIC is
seeking "deterrent punishments." It insists that not only freedom of expression
but all human
rights
be circumscribed by the OIC's 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human
Rights
in Islam, which concludes with the caveat that, "All the rights and freedoms
stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Shariah." Translation:
Liberties enshrined in the UN's foundational Universal Declaration of Human
Rights are largely rendered null and void.
The demand that no criticism of Islam be permitted is the preeminent
feature of the Muslim Brotherhood's efforts in the West. In fact, it is but the
leading edge of the Brothers' bid to suppress public awareness of the threat
posed by their program in societies that pride themselves on religious
tolerance,
thereby facilitating seditious penetration and influence operations by the
Shariah-adherent.
A playbook for the latter can be found in a publication issued last fall by
the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project that is being aggressively promoted to the
Obama administration and Congress by a number of its non-Muslim participants.
Notably, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright recently effusively
presented the Project's book entitled Changing Course: A New Direction for U.S.
Relations with the Muslim World to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Former Congressman Vin Weber did the same at Grover Norquist's weekly meeting of
conservative activists last week.
Underwritten largely by George Soros' and other left-wing foundations,
Changing Course seems to reflect predominantly the recommendations of groups the
government has established are Muslim Brotherhood fronts, such as the Islamic
Society of North America and the Muslim Public Affairs Council. Both are
represented in the Engagement Project's "Leadership Group." Accordingly, its
book calls for:
"engagement with groups that have clearly demonstrated a commitment to
nonviolent participation in politics" (read: the Brotherhood);
"not equat[ing] reform with secularism, nor...assum[ing] that reformers who
advocate some form of Shariah as the basis for the rule of law will inevitably
abuse human rights or adopt anti-American policies";
"not supply[ing] additional ammunition to extremists by linking the term
‘Islam' or key tenets of the religion of Islam with the actions of extremist or
terrorist groups";
Launching "an education program comparable in scale" to "the more than $7
billion" invested in the "post-Sputnik U.S. commitment to math and science
education" to "education on Islam and Muslims, sustained over a decade or more,
focused on teacher training and curriculum in middle and high schools, and
colleges."
Emboldened by the promise of this influence operation and the apparent
willingness of the Obama administration to embrace the Muslim Brotherhood's
agenda – in part, if not in its entirety – the organization's assorted fronts in
America are becoming ever more audacious. In response to a long-overdue decision
taken by the FBI
last year to terminate "sensitivity training" of its agents by one of the most
prominent of these fronts, the Council on American
Islamic
Relations (CAIR), assorted Brotherhood groups and operatives reportedly intend
to announce that Muslims will henceforth cease any and all cooperation with U.S.
law enforcement until CAIR is rehabilitated.
Such a step would not only call into question the patriotism of the many Muslims
in
America
who do not embrace the Brotherhood's Shariah agenda – something that would,
presumably, be as offensive to them as it would be troubling to the rest of us.
It could also expose those engaged in it to criminal charges of "misprision of
felony," conspiring to withhold information from the authorities concerning
terrorist operations and activities in the Muslim
community.
Thereby killing any hope, any hope at all of real reform of Islam.
The message should go forth: Friends of the Muslim Brotherhood are no
friends of America. We follow their guidance at our peril.
The left, as its history painfully shows, has always aligned itself with the totalitarian ideology du jour. The jihad could never have made such enormous strides into Western society without the leftards carrying their water.
Those on the right considered themselves safe from dhimmitude and oppression. Wrong.
Defenders of America have been acutely aware of the infiltration of Political Islam into Conservative circles. It's why I along with Robert Spencer and David Horowitz brought Geert Wilders to CPAC. It was the only event at the largest gathering in CPAC history that spoke to Islamic Supremacism, freedom of speech and the war on jihad.
What is the next phase in the Muslim Brotherhood's project to overtake America? And how is America caving to Islam? It's happening right before your very eyes.
Read this document US MUSLIM ENGAGEMENT - Changing the Course".It's the absolute Obama blueprint. It's all George Soros money and the usual cast of suspects - Madeline Albright, Richard Armitage, Ingrid Mattson, Lugar, Ross ... the obvious cast of craven quislings.
The proposal for "reducing distrust"? Surrender. The document is deeply informed by the objectives of the OIC and the ummah. It is a blueprint for our dhimmitude. It's the basis for Kerry's hearing taqiyya and that garbage Fareed Zakariah article (cover) in Newsweek on how we have to accept Islamic governments and shariah.
Take a look at page 80 and what they are doing with your infidel dollars:
SPUDNIK!? vis a vis Islam?
Wait -- and if that were't disastrous enough. They are recommending Homeland security reduce the rejection rates for applicants from Muslim countries.
Grover Norquist is a conservative activist and the president of Americans for Tax Reform. He is also well-known in Washington D.C. circles as a friend of Islam. Since the 1990s he has held weekly “Wednesday meetings” in which he briefs fellow conservatives and helps plot strategy for the Republican party.
But yesterday it was Mr. Norquist’s turn to be briefed.
A few days ago I wrote about John Kerry’s speech on the Senate floor touting the U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project. Yesterday Mr. Norquist’s group was briefed by Vin Weber, a member of the leadership group of the same U.S.-Muslim Engagement Project.
According to several attendees who were present at Grover Norquist’s Wednesday meeting, the participants — presumably including members of Congress — were offered paperback copies of the “Changing the Course” document (pdf), which outlines the steps needed to help the United States achieve reconciliation with the Muslim world.
Unfortunately for non-Muslims in the United States, this prescription involves more engagement and more appeasement. It calls for yet more dialogue with and respect for Islam, and includes a special emphasis on removing Hamas and Hezbollah from the list of terrorist groups so that they can be recognized as legitimate negotiating partners.
The involvement of Mr. Norquist’s group raises questions about of the extent of Islamist infiltration throughout the conservative NGO groups.
If anyone is curious why this year’s CPAC — which has just folded its tents — didn’t have a single panel on radical Islam or the war on terror, remember that Grover Norquist is on the board of the ACU, which sponsors CPAC.
CPAC conservatives have now fallen into line. They don’t use words like jihad, nor do they associate Islam with terror. They have their ACU marching orders.
What’s more, attendees at Mr. Norquist’s meeting yesterday received the Muslim Brotherhood-approved game plan for the Obama administration.
No, not to critique it.
No, not to oppose it.
To get in line and support it.
What is it, exactly? - - - - - - - - - As I mentioned above, paperback copies of the how-to manual for American appeasement “Changing the Course” were distributed to attendees, along with a helpful lecture from Vin Weber (Ingrid Mattson, president of ISNA and Weber’s colleague on the US-Muslim Engagement Project, was sadly absent). Mr. Norquist is making sure that conservatives have the “politically correct” position — that is, Obama’s position. The same position held by Ingrid Mattson and the Muslim Brotherhood. Which, coincidentally, is also the position of Senator John Kerry and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who testified to Kerry’s committee under her US-Muslim engagement project affiliation on February 26.
If we lived in a sane world, revealing all of this to the American public would cause a stir.
But this is not news. It’s a “dog bites man” story.
Still, it’s a damned dangerous dog — and from time to time it still bites.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * If you want to learn more about Grover Norquist and his inside-the-Beltway operations, Paul Sperry’s website and his book Infiltration are recommended reading.
I’ll just include a few excerpts from his supporting documents:
8.1a
Canceled checks for major donations to GOP powerbroker Grover Norquist’s nonprofit Islamic Institute from now-convicted terrorist Abdurahman Alamoudi, who provided seed money for the controversial Washington think tank, which has a stated goal of “promoting the appointments of Muslims to positions of influence.”
8.1b
Check for donation to Norquist’s Islamic Institute from the Safa Trust, an alleged terror-underwriter based just outside Washington. It is part of the notorious Safa group, which investigators believe runs a terror-support group using Muslim charities and think tanks as cover.
[…]
8.2a
Norquist’s Islamic Institute was a sponsor of the 2000 anti-Israel rally at the White House in which Muslim leaders such as Alamoudi shouted their support for terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah. This press release called a “Friday Brief” — which has been removed from the institute’s website — shows that it strongly advised Muslim members to attend the event. It directs questions to the institute and also to Alamoudi’s American Muslim Council, which has staffed much of the institute
For additional documentation, see the Sperry Files.
No doubt Grover Norquist and his Wednesday meetings will continue, and Washington Republicans will become even more well-informed about the benefits — both spiritual and financial — that Islam brings to the United States and its elected representatives.
In their continuing quest for Islamic world domination and the destruction of a Judeo-Christian America, Islamic groups are trying to stop this screening. Senator Kyl is merely upholding a basic tenet of American society - freedom of speech. Can we allow the suppression of free speech? Can we submit to a religious ideology of domination and submission? I beg you to take a stand.
There is a low grade civil war taking place in America. Just because the media is too afraid to report on it doesn't mean it's not happening.
Senator John Kyl (R-AZ) is coming under pressure from stealth jihad groups and their allies and dupes for his plan to host a showing of the film Fitna in The Capitol.
Please contact Senator Kyl and declare your support for his courageous decision to show this honest and accurate but politically incorrect film. He needs expressions of support more than ever today!

Wilders, the foremost defender of
free speech in the modern age, will deliver an address at a reception
at the Omni Shoreham Hotel, site of the Conservative Political Action
Conference, on Friday, February 27, at 6:00PM.
The reception will feature a screening of Wilders’s courageous and
hard-hitting film Fitna, which demonstrates how Islamic jihadists use
the Qur’an and Islamic teachings to justify acts of violence and
terrorism, and which has become the focus of efforts by the
Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) to restrict and
criminalize free speech about the global jihad threat. A
question-and-answer period will follow.
It
is open to the public. In light of the multiple threats on Geert
Wilders’s life, security will be very tight: no bags or coats will be
allowed, all materials brought in to the room will be searched, and the
event organizers reserve the right to deny entry to or eject anyone at
any time.

Dear friend and sagacious writer/thinker John Jay has written an extraordinary post over at his jewel of a blog Summer Patriot, Winter Soldier. It is stunning in its logic, clarity and reason. Yes, read it all. This is a fine mind. Heed his warning.
democratic states, free market economies and free speech are under a two pronged attack waged by islamic jihad for the last 50 years or so, and unrelentingly so by the radical left and the communist ideology since the advent of marxist thought and organizations, such as the com-intern and the various popular front revolutions since the time of lenin, trotsky and stalin. as to the latter, the west has largely successfully resisted overt and militaristic attacks in europe, in austria after wwi, and in greece and the entirety of south east asia and the pacific rim after wwii: the attack in this whole area was blunted by american efforts in viet nam, in my estimation. but the democratic states have been either oblivious to or unresisting of the attacks of the theories of the left and communism upon those values which form the basis of the free market democratic states, and this unrelenting attack carried out over the breadth of the 20th century, has been so successful that many otherwise supporters of free society are just about entirely ignorant of the values which underpin our society and culture and politics. concomitantly, the west is under unremitting terrorist attack, most of it stemming from the islamic jihad’s attempt to kick the west from the middle east, and lately, as an open and avowed attempt to conquer europe, within the context of social and demographic and religious values, and to impose sharia, or islamic law, upon the west.
it is the thesis of this little paper that these attacks are coordinated by the left and islam. the left very consciously uses the tensions in western political systems caused by islam and islam’s application of jihad, especially via the mechanism of hate speech laws to restrict and destroy free speech traditions to advance its leftist political agendas the world over. the islamic jihad uses the over complicity of euro and ameri leftist thought to provide legitimizing social justification for its terror, and receives direct financial subsidies from organizations like the united nations to subsidize and support it terror campaign, and to promote islamic immigration into the west to advance is demographic campaign to institute sharia. the left is, in short, complicitous with the jihad in its attacks, and supports the legitimacy of the jihad’s attacks upon western business interests and institutions, precisely to aid the imposition of its agenda antagonistic to the very institutions attacked by the jihad.
in order to advance this thesis, i am going to examine the various assumptions and values which have held societies and human groups together since time immemorial, and posit those which are also subsumed under the modern nation state. in other words, what beliefs and values make the constituent parts of democracy what they are together in sum, and which of these values are absolutely necessary to support the continued vitality and function of the modern democratic nation state, founded, as it is, upon free market economies and free speech. you might ask, why go to this bother? this is a good question, especially as some of these matters are not mentioned again in the course of the paper: but, think, if you will, as you read this paper, how many of these ancient values are assailed by the left and by jihad, even as the main pillars of western institutions, free market economics and free market thought, come under the direct attacks of the leftist and jihad agenda. (this requires some participation on your part.) then, i will look at the left and the jihad, with a view toward how its attack is very precisely focused on these bedrock assumptions and intellectual premises of the free market, so as to understand the very real danger that these attacks pose on the very existence of democratic states.
finally, i will try to look at the relative danger posed by the partnership of the left and the jihad. it is a very complicated situation, and very fluid, and not without some subtle ironies. for there is no less inherent antagonism between the left and islam as there exists between democracy and islam, and at some point, a reckoning will come between islam and the left as well, as islam will neither brook nor tolerate the rule of the left, and will break from the left and seek to conquer it as well. and, the euro and american left are no better at comprehending the animus that drives islam than their rightist brethren, who they seek to topple by using islam. given the inherent fluidity of this situation, i will still attempt to point towards what i consider the greater long term threat to our institutions, and our very survival as free people.
as the title to the paper suggests, i am not horribly sanguine that america and the west will survive, not because the jihad and the left are so strong, but because we as the adherents of freedom have become enfeebled, and lost our way, having forgotten the basics of what made us great in the first place. we are, in short, no longer true believers in the values that gave us our wealth and our liberties. we do not defend them jealously, to the death.
Terrorists can make bombs like this one using the guide
pictured below
A DIY bomb-making guide
recommended as a “must-own” by al-Qaida supporters is available from web store
Amazon.
The Daily Star (UK) can reveal the lethal book contains step-by-step
instructions on how to make explosives and detonators. A shocked MP described
the book as a “terrorist’s dream” and called for it to be
banned.
The cover of The Preparatory Manual Of Explosives, Third Edition
boasts “574 pages – 166 explosives” alongside photos of blasts. It
starts by explaining basic science such as the periodic table, how elements
react with each other and how to mix them in test tubes. It tells readers
in minute detail how to make deadly devices including fertiliser bombs, Semtex
and TNT and, crucially for would-be bomb nuts, their “overall value as an
explosive”.
The £37.49 book is available to any customer on the online store. And it
adds: “The book will enlighten the reader in the art of explosives chemistry and
science.”
The book, compiled by author Jared Ledgard, has become so useful to
wannabe terrorists that it is listed on Islamic websites as a
“must-own”.
One fanatics’ site features it alongside pro-Taliban propaganda and
information from “Holy Warriors in Afghanistan”.
However, on Amazon the book is listed
under the encyclopaedias category alongside books for children of school
age.
Last night an Amazon spokesman said the
firm stood by their decision to sell the book. He added: “We do not dictate to
our customers what they can or cannot buy.”
I saw your Infidel tee shirt advertised on Atlas Shrugs and couldn't resist it. I just received it in the mail last week and wore it for the first time tonight. I wore my shirt to Chuck E Cheese's and ended up causing a disruption. A group of people who appeared ethnically Middle Eastern but spoke native English started asking me question about where I got the shirt and what it meant, and I said I bought it off a Web site, and infidel is just someone who does not follow Islam.
The group of started berating me and telling me the shirt was offensive yada yada yada. A woman in the group told my wife that I was "sh*t" and she felt sorry for me. I did not say anything about terrorism or anything else to provoke them, but one of them told me that America and Israel are the biggest terrorists in the world and have killed more people than Islam and that I need to get my facts straight. They then went off and complained to the manager. Later the manager came to me and asked me if I could cover it up somehow because he had received more than one complaint that it was offensive to their culture.
Everything I have read tells me the definition of infidel is either someone who is Christian or at least someone who does not believe in Islam. If Islam is supposed to be so tolerant how can it be offensive to announce that I am not a follower? I had previously worn a tee shirt with the Dutch cartoon of Mohammed with a bomb turban and never got anything but compliments, so I was surprised I created such an uproar with a shirt that should have been far less offensive. The irony is amazing.
At least now I know what shirt I will be wearing every time I go through airport security.

The sky over New York and the will of man made visible. What other religion do we need? And then people tell me about pilgrimages to some dank pesthole in a jungle where they go to do homage to a crumbling temple, to a leering stone monster with a pot belly, created by some leprous savage. Is it beauty and genius they want to see? Do they seek a sense of the sublime? Let them come to New York, stand on the shore of the Hudson, look and kneel. When I see the city from my window - no, I don't feel how small I am - but I feel that if a war came to threaten this, I would throw myself into space, over the city, and protect these buildings with my body." Ayn Rand
