IN DEARBORN, MICHIGAN, "Christians no longer are being given the same rights as others"

It is increasingly clear that in municipalities with high Muslim/Arab populations, our Constitution, our freedoms are under attack. They are being tested and we are failing to stand up for who and what we are.

Last week I reported that law enforcement caved to Islamic demands of supremacism, in breach of our inalienable rights guaranteed to us in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

"The Arabic Christian Perspective (ACP), and Pastor George Saieg attend the annual Arab International street festival there every year handing out Christian material to Muslims.  They do this along the public sidewalks that run along the street, where the festival is conducted.  It is open to the public and admission is free.  Business establishments along the street remain open during the festival. It is a bold thing to do, but in the five years ACP has been going there, it has never encountered any problems."

The Dearborn Police Department has asked ACP to stand on a single corner, where they would be unable to freely mingle with festival gatherers and unable to reach their intended audience. This is a violation of the group's First Amendment rights.

Bill Becker had filed a lawsuit and the Thomas More Law Center, based in Ann Arbor, is assisting in this matter. Go here for more of the back story. Our freedoms are being eroded, our very way of life torn asunder by Islam.

Today I received this from Bill Becker:

As you know, my client, Arabic Christian Perspective (APC) was denied its request for a temporary restraining order, which would have prevented the City of Dearborn from restricting APC's First Amendment right to distribute its Christian material on public sidewalks adjacent to the annual Arab International Festival. Meanwhile, because they are not subject to the court order, numerous other groups, including Christian groups, are milling about the Festival distributing their material and conducting various types of transactions. APC cannot disobey the order of the United States District Court, so where last year it had handed out some ten thousand leaflets, booklets and DVDs on the first day of the Festival, its volunteers have handed out only a small number this year.

The Festival offered APC a booth to give out their material, and Dearborn police gave it the option of two locations, one of which was in the center of the Festival and where APC could reach large numbers of people. APC chose that location and operated there for awhile until the same police officer who had given them the option told them to move to a remote location on the outer east end of the Festival, where they see few passersby. The order does not restrict their location, and in fact doesn't cover the Festival's offer to provide them with a booth location, so there is nothing APC can do about it. It has essentially been sent to Siberia.

What is the lesson of all of this? Apparently, it does no good to give law enforcement authorities advance notice of your intention to peacefully assemble at a public event. APC traditionally has notified local law enforcement authorities of its visits as a courtesy. In the future, I will advise them not to do that. There is simply no point. Christians no longer are being given the same rights as others. Municipal authorities see them as provocateurs, rather than citizens entitled to equal protection under the 14th Amendment.

One of your readers responded to this story with the following comment: "Yawn." I wonder if that person would feel that way if he were told he could no longer express his views on the Internet and would be arrested if he did. The City of Dearborn has singled out one organization due to the content of its message. It has applied what it believes is a reasonable time, place and manner restriction on the one group that gave it notice of its visit to the Festival, while others are not so limited. This is an invidious form of discrimination, and the City of Dearborn will have to justify it in the lawsuit that I and the Thomas More Law Center have filed against it to permanently end this violation of the First Amendment.

8 Years After 9/11, NYC Schools Observe Muslim Holidays

Resolution 1281, passed overwhelmingly by the New York City Council Education Committee, calls on the “New York City Department of Education to incorporate the Muslim holidays of Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Ul-Adha as observed school holidays in the school calendar for the city school district of the city of New York” and also asks that the state legislature “pass, and the Governor to sign into law, A.8108/S.5837, an Act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring that Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Ul-Adha be school holidays in the city school district of the city of New York.”

Islamic supremacism on the move in New York City, home to ground zero.

CAIR-NY Welcomes City Council Vote on Muslim Holidays in Schools

(NEW YORK, NY, 6/18/09) - The New York chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NY) today joined a coalition of community organizations in welcoming the passage of a resolution by a committee of the city council that calls for adding Muslim holidays to the school calendar.

Resolution 1281, passed overwhelmingly by the New York City Council Education Committee, calls on the “New York City Department of Education to incorporate the Muslim holidays of Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Ul-Adha as observed school holidays in the school calendar for the city school district of the city of New York” and also asks that the state legislature “pass, and the Governor to sign into law, A.8108/S.5837, an Act to amend the education law, in relation to requiring that Eid Ul-Fitr and Eid Ul-Adha be school holidays in the city school district of the city of New York.”

SEE: Proposed Res. No. 1281-A

The Coalition for Muslim School Holidays - a broad interfaith, inter-ethnic coalition of labor, community, civil rights, and religious organizations also urged the entire city council to support including Muslim holidays in the school calendar.

“Today marks a positive step forward in the effort to provide a more inclusive educational environment for all students,” said CAIR-NY Community Affairs Director Faiza N. Ali, who sits on the steering committee of the Coalition for Muslim School Holidays. “This resolution advances religious liberty, recognizes the growing Muslim population in New York and promotes our great city's values of diversity and inclusion.”

She noted that the New York City area is home to some 1 million Muslims, one of the fastest growing and most diverse religious populations in the city. More than 90 percent of Muslim students attend public schools and one in eight public school students is Muslim.

CAIR offers a booklet, called “An Educator’s Guide to Islamic Religious Practices,” designed to promote diversity and accommodate Muslims students in educational institutions.

Ali also urged Speaker Christine Quinn and the entire city council to pass Resolution 1281: “Our community continues to face issues of harassment and discrimination in schools. The city now has an opportunity to help foster a better understanding of Islam and re-affirm that Muslims are a valued part of this city.”

A better understanding of Islam? The dhimmi Quinn doesn't have a friggin clue. 

 

 

Muslim Festival - Dearborn Lawsuit to Fight Islamic Supremacism

Law enforcement has begun to cave to Islamic demands of supremacism in breach of our inalienable rights guaranteed to us  in our Constitution and Declaration of Independence.

Dearborn, Michigan, features the most highly concentrated population of Muslims in the nation. Arabic Christian Perspective (ACP), and Pastor George Saieg attend the annual Arab International street festival there every year handing out Christian material to Muslims.  They do this along the public sidewalks that run along the street, where the festival is conducted.  It is open to the public and admission is free.  Business establishments along the street remain open during the festival.

It is a bold thing to do, but in the five years ACP has been going there, it has never encountered any problems.

Now, the Dearborn Police Department has asked ACP to stand on a single corner, where they will be unable to freely mingle with festival gatherers and unable to reach their intended audience.  This is a violation of its First Amendment rights.

Bill Becker has filed a lawsuit and the Thomas More Law Center, based in Ann Arbor, is assisting in this matter. A copy of the complaint, which they filed today is attached. 

Becker said

The relevance of our lawsuit is based on the idea that in Iran, we applaud what the people are doing to express their objection to the election, but in the U.S., police officials are restraining my clients' rights to practice its free speech liberty.

UPDATE: A dhimmi judge has ruled against the Christians. Bill Becker, a lawyer for the Christian group, just sent me this:

Today, a  federal judge denied our request for a TRO (temporary restraining order), which would have allowed Arabic Christian Perspective to continue to distribute their literature along the public sidewalks adjacent to a street occupied by the annual Arab International Festival.

The court reasoned that restrictions imposed by the City of Dearborn only on ACP were reasonable time, place and manner restrictions.  We naturally disagree, inasmuch as no other citizen is ordered to restrict what he or she can say or hand to another person.  This is content-based discrimination against a Christian group, whose mission is to peaceably bring the good news of salvation to people attending the Festival.

Why would the judge find this to be anything but unconstitutionally content-based discrimination?  We don't have a clue.  ACP will now be treated as second-class citizens, forced to pass out their DVDs and booklets around the corner from the Festival, while other groups will be able to freely distribute their materials.  Strangely, the Festival is allowing them to set up a booth and participate in the festival.  It will be impracticable for ACP's 90-some volunteers to man the booth, so they will have to find another place to go.  They are free to mingle along the Festival just as long as they don't pass out their free material.

Our lawsuit will proceed, and we will seek an order permanently enjoining the city from violating ACP's First Amendment rights.  To many people this controversy may seem minor, but as Spencer observed in his book, "Stealth Jihad", the OIC has made it clear that Muslims are to use the judicial process to eliminate criticism of Islam.  In this case, we do not know whether the Festival had anything to do with the city's decision.  And ACP is not there to criticize Muslims.  They are there to do the good work of evangelizing, which might be perceived as threatening activity in a city boasting the highest per capita population of Muslims in the nation.

"a well-intentioned attempt by the sculptor . . . to honor Muhammad" but one that "bears no resemblance to Muhammad."

This image of Muhammad graces the north wall of the U. S. Supreme Court's chamber. The frieze by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, completed in 1932, depicts Muhammad among 26 historical and legendary lawgivers. Muhammad is shown holding a Qur'an partly covered by his scimitar—a hint of violence to which American Muslims have periodically objected. After a complaint by the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the court adopted incoherent language to describe the image: "a well-intentioned attempt by the sculptor . . . to honor Muhammad" but one that "bears no resemblance to Muhammad."

Frickin cowards. Ishcabibble, ishcabobble. Their knees must be bloody.

This is part of a fascinating article here. R. Joseph Hoffman over at the Council for Human Secularism. (hat tip Jan Span)

NASHVILLE LOEW'S HOTEL CAVES TO MUSLIMS AND CANCELS WILDERS EVENT

Last month, Muslim groups threatened and intimidated the Marriott in Del Ray into canceling our Freedom of Speech Summit featuring Geert Wilders. Organizers scrambled and we held an enormously successful summit despite Muslim oppression. Further, CAIR called for Representative Adam Hasner's resignation just because he attended a dinner with Wilders.

Once again, Muslim groups have taken a club to our first amendment, freedom of speech, and succeeded in threatening and bullying the Loew's in Nashville.

Nashville is a gateway city where the State department drops whole communities of Somali Muslims. This is the same city that refused to investigate the horrific allegations made by a Muslim child of abuse suffered in shariah classes at the Al Farooq mosque.

Once again the Muslims use freedom of speech to kill freedom of speech. They invoke democracy to impose Islamic supremacism on our basic freedoms - speech and freedom of assembly.

Shame on Loew's for not standing up for America and our basic inalienable human rights. This is dhimmitude. Period.

MUSLIM GROUP SHUTS DOWN CONSERVATIVE CONFERENCE Newsmax

The manager of a prominent Nashville hotel cancelled a contract with a conservative foundation to hold a conference this weekend on radical Islam, apparently after learning that the group would feature a keynote address by controversial Dutch parliamentarian and filmmaker, Geert Wilders.

Muslim groups succeeded in preventing Wilders from screening “Fitna,” his 15-minute movie on radical Islam, in the House of Lords this February, on claims it was insulting to Muslims, and dogged him during a recent U.S. tour as well.

Thomas A. Negri, managing director of Loew’s Vanderbilt Hotel and Office complex in Nashville, told Newsmax on Wednesday that he had taken the extraordinary step of cancelling the conference at the last minute “for the health, safety and well-being of our guests and employees.”

Negri refused to say why he felt the conference would adversely affect the “health, safety and well-being” of the hotel’s guests and employees, except to refer to the website of the New English Review, the group organizing the conference.

The website features articles that warn about radical Islam written by activists, journalists and scholars, including former federal prosecutor Andrew McCarthy, and former Muslim scholar, Ibn Warraq.

One article, written by a retired U.S. army intelligence officer, Jerome Gordon, warns of the growing problems caused by the recent influence of several thousand Somali Muslim refugees who have come to work for a nearby Tysons Food plant to replace illegal Hispanic meat packers.

Negri appeared at a 2003 pro-immigration event on the same dias with a well-known Somali warlord, Gordon told Newsmax.

In a written statement to the conference organizers, Negri said that the hotel had “not received any information related to a specific security threat concerning this event,” and declined to provide any justification for cancelling it at the last minute.

One of the conference organizers told Newsmax on Wednesday that the group was considering a lawsuit against Negri and the Loew’s hotel chain for “unlawful breach of contract.”

UPDATE: Kafir Harby!

Two Connecticut Schools Consider Holiday to Honor .........MECCA

Take notes. So that you can relay to your grandchildren how it happened, how we lost America. How America lost her way and gave it all away.

What are we celebrating here? Mecca? The subjugation of women? The persecution of non-Muslims? Islamic supremacism? Islamic imperialism? Islamic jew hatred? The Muslims dancing in the streets on 911? Terrible, all of it.

Two Conn. Schools Consider Holiday to Honor Mecca

Why should non-Muslims be forced to be part of a day off from school in honor of Mecca? Considering that non-Muslims are not even allowed to go there.

Hat tip to The Religion Peace.

School district to consider Muslim holidays
Published: May 27, 2009

PROSPECT, Conn. (AP) - A Connecticut school district is considering a proposal to close schools on two Muslim holidays.
The Region 16 Board of Education is expected to take up the Student Council’s proposal this week.
The board represents the towns of Prospect and Beacon Falls, Conn.
The resolution asks the board not to hold classes on the day that marks the end of the fasting period of Ramadan and on the day that concludes the annual observance of the pilgrimage to Mecca.

Homegrown Jihadi Goes Free in Canada

Martha Stewart does serious time for telling a lie. This Canadian Islamic terrorist, who in an act of war hoped to destroy western civilization in violent attacks against Canada as part of the worldwide global jihad, goes free.

The Western brain is broken. Fundamentally. Crushing dhimmitude.

Time served

The first person convicted in a domestic terrorism plot bent on wreaking havoc on Canadian targets was handed a 2 1/2-year sentence today, and with time already served factored in, he walked free.

The youth belonging to the so-called Toronto 18 homegrown terror cell was sentenced as an adult, but a temporary publication ban granted prevents him from being named for 30 days.
He was found guilty in September of helping and taking part in a terrorist organization - the first verdict under Canada's new anti-terrorism laws.

In handing down the sentence today, Ontario Superior Court Justice John Sproat underscored the seriousness of the crime, but noted that the youth had shown an intention to turn his life around.

Asshattery.

Child Services Refuses to Investigate Child Abuse, Sexual Abuses Beatings in Shariah Class at the Al Farooq Mosque in Nashville

Back on April 9th, I exposed the first-hand undercover investigation that was done in Al-Farooq mosque in Nashville, TN. What had been exposed was unthinkable.

I ran video footage of a first-hand undercover investigation done in Al-Farooq mosque. Go here to hear a 7-year-old talk about her husband and how they are beaten during shariah class.

It was easy to understand why un-indicted co-conspirator (and Zakat-eligible) CAIR has been working feverishly to keep the FBI out of the mosques. Their daily action alerts are rife with accusations of some bogus grievance, some right violated .....all to protect the most heinous crimes.
Many Atlas readers wrote in large numbers to law enforcement, child services and the prosecutor's office, demanding that the child abuse be investigated and prosecuted so that the little girls' lives could be saved.

First we received notification from the DA's office: Nashville DA REFUSES TO INVESTIGATE CHILD MARRIAGE, PEDOPHILIA, CHILD ABUSE IN SHARIAH CLASSES.

And now this from Child Services: I thought you might like to know the results of the Al Farooq mosque investigation...I guess it was not enough to tell them that the abuse occurred in the school and mosque and give the child's name and mother's name. We were supposed to follow them to their residence too, right?

They did nothing. Private citizens did all the work, took all the chances, presented law enforcement with the case, with the evidence and they did nothing.
Imagine if these were Mormons, not Muslims.

My CT researchers and I conducted ‘first-hand’ research at a predominately Somalia based mosque, Al-Farooq Masjid, 1421 4^th Ave. S. Nashville, TN. Initially I conducted a pre-assessment of the various Islamic Centers within the area. Although there are other mosques in the area advocating the ideology of Sharia law for the U.S. and advocating the same ideology as Islamic terrorists groups, our research uncovered more frightening and disturbing intelligence. Not only does Al-Farooq provide materials by convicted Islamic terrorists to their worshippers, they practice polygamy (per statements made by Al Farooq worshippers) as allowed under Sharia law, which also advocates children to be taken as ‘child brides’ married to older men. One need only research how often this occurs in Somalia.

In Feb 09, I obtained evidence and there were several indicators the children were being physically and emotionally abused. I immediately provided my analysis and concerns to authorities. Almost immediately First Amendment religious freedom rights came up and their fear of being sued by Islamic organizations. I knew from the beginning when I had to explain the basics of Sharia law and who Islamic scholars such as Ahmad Sakr (U.S. based scholar who lectures to children and informs them to not follow the U.S. Constitution, but instead to follow Sharia law) are, it would be useless to rely on them alone to protect the innocent children of al Farooq, which ultimately means our country is not being protected. The objective of my company is to simultaneously provide the research intelligence to the American public and to Law Enforcement (LE). In our current times it is often necessary for news organizations and the public to become involved before issues are taken seriously.

In Mar 2009, I sent two researchers (male and female) to Al Farooq to obtain further information. On 9 Mar 2009, a female child informed one of our female researchers she and other children are ‘hit’ at the ‘Al Farooq School’ by a teacher and ‘her’ legs hurt. Additional lectures by convicted terrorists and their supporters were provided to my team. Again I notified authorities, but received no encouragement the allegations of child abuse or the evidence pertaining to Al Farooq leadership advocating violence would be responded to.

Authorities wanted ‘hard evidence’ children were being abused and Islamic leaders at Al Farooq were educating the worshippers to commit violence against innocent people, America, and Israel. Respectfully I advised authorities Americans rely on them to take the lead and conduct investigations pertaining to allegations. My organization is limited in manpower and funds. Taxpayers pay our LE and elected officials to protect our country. It is beyond my capability to convince authorities that distributing material by Al Qaeda, Mawdudi (JI), and Ali Al Timimi to children can lead to violence and is dangerous for all concerned. One need only look at the Palestinian schools who are educated by Hamas.

DHS Deputy Secretary Keynote at Arab Anti-Defamation Lunch

I have seen the enemy and he is us. Is it any wonder that the 'new' DHS considers veterans, Jews, Christians and patriotic tea partiers the real terrorists?

Check out the map and the list of notorious attendees. DHS should be monitoring this event rather than sitting at the head table. Sick. Ellison, MPAC, Dingle, J street -- all the usual suspects. They are going to club us to death inverting the Constitution.

DHS Deputy Secretary to Keynote Civil Rights Awards Lunch at ADC Annual National Convention (hat tip David)

The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) is proud to announce that Deputy Secretary for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Jane Holl Lute will deliver the keynote remarks during this year’s Civil Rights Awards Lunch headlining an outstanding program of awards and speakers at one of the anchor events during the ADC Annual National Convention.

The Deputy Secretary, the second-ranking official at DHS after Secretary Napolitano, has over 30 years of dedicated military and executive experience and has served as Assistant Secretary General to the United Nations responsible for the support of international peacekeeping operations. ADC is pleased to welcome Deputy Secretary Lute to discuss the ongoing challenges facing law enforcement and the post-9/11 communities and the struggle to maintain and promote civil rights and security simultaneously.

Also confirmed to deliver special remarks at the Saturday June 13 lunch is Chair of the House Judiciary Committee Congressman John Conyers (D-MI).
[...].

The honorees at this year’s Civil Rights Awards Lunch include Yale Law School’s Lowenstein Human Rights Clinic and National Litigation Project. Spearheaded by Professors Michael Wishnie, Hope Metcalf, Ramzi Kassem, Tina Monshipour Foster, and an outstanding team of Yale law students, the clinic continues to play a central and instrumental role in exposing targeted round-ups of Muslim immigrants during Operation Frontline in 2004 and 2005. Through the work of the clinic, a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit resulted in the release of key documentation on Operation Frontline which, when analyzed, demonstrated systematic discrimination in immigration raids targeting Muslim immigrants.
Also, ADC is proud to present this year’s Excellence in Advocacy Award to the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) for their outstanding work toward substantively and constructively addressing challenges facing the Arab and Muslim community post-9/11. The Award will be accepted by MPAC Executive Director Salam Al-Marayati who has successfully spearheaded MPAC’s excellent advocacy efforts on multiple levels.


Other confirmed speakers during this year’s ADC Annual National Convention include Surprise Special Guest ***, Congressman Keith Ellison, Congressman John Dingle, Congressman Brian Baird, Congresswoman Donna Edwards, Archbishop Cappucci of Jerusalem, Dean of the White House Press Corps Helen Thomas, Professor John Mearsheimer, J Street Executive Director Jeremy Ben-Ami, Palestinian Member of the Kenesset Said Naffaa, Professor Saad Eddine Ibrahim, ACLU National Board Member Preetmohan Singh, FBI Assistant Director John Miller, and AFL-CIO Middle East and North Africa Director Heba El-Shazli. 

Government Steals Land for 911 Islamic Crescent Memorial

It keeps getting worse. Regular Atlas readers are familiar with the abomination being built on the site where those brave Americans on flight 93 fought back and averted another massive Islamic terror attack on the capital on 911. United Flight 93 was traveling from Newark, N.J., to San Francisco when it was diverted by hijackers with the goal of crashing it into the White House or Capitol. The official 9/11 Commission report said the hijackers crashed the plane as passengers tried to wrest control of the cockpit.

To memorize to those brave Americans, the dhimmis in charge plan to erect a giant Islamic crescent. We have fought this for the past year (Atlas coverage here). Khalim Massoud, president of Muslims against Sharia--Islamic Reform Movement, issued a press release in support of Tom Burnett Sr.'s efforts to stop the Park Service from planting a giant Mecca-oriented crescent atop his son's grave.

As if that weren't terrible enough, now they are stealing private land to build this monstrosity.

The green circle, marked with the qibla for Somerset, is from Islam.com. A person standing at the midpoint between the most obtruding tips of the crescent structure and facing into the center of the crescent (red arrow), will be facing almost exactly at Mecca.

Read more about the Crescent of Betrayal. It's as if  this horror is surrender -- Islam's victory over America monument. They attacked America and we are building monument to the icon of their ideology.

Government to condemn land for Flight 93 memorial Yahoo (hat tip Michael)

PITTSBURGH – The government will begin taking land from seven property owners so that the Flight 93 memorial can be built in time for the 10th anniversary of the 2001 terrorist attacks, the National Park Service said.

In a statement obtained by The Associated Press, the park service said it had teamed up with a group representing the victims' families to work with landowners since before 2005 to acquire the land.

"But with few exceptions, these negotiations have been unsuccessful," said the statement.

Landowners dispute that negotiations have taken place and say they are disappointed at the turn of events.

"Islam Day" Passes in Hawaii

I can't tell you what those folks are thinking, but why September 24th? Why not September 11th? The Democrats passed it 22-3. Who started this initiative? Why? What instigated this further capitulation to Islamic supremacism?

Hawaii lawmakers create 'Islam Day'

The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate today on a 22-3 vote.

As more than 100 Christians gathered in the Senate to oppose same-sex civil unions cheered, the Senate's two Republicans argued that members of all religions shouldn't forget the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Democrats countered that the diversity and positive contributions of the Islamic world should be honored.

Jewish day? Christian day? Sikh day? Pagan day? Wicca day? 

Why Islam? WTF is going down?

UPDATE: FOX has more:

The Senate's two Republicans argued that a minority of Islamic extremists have killed many innocents in terrorist attacks.

"I recall radical Islamists around the world cheering the horrors of 9/11. That is the day all civilized people of all religions should remember," said Republican Sen. Fred Hemmings to the applause of more than 100 people gathered in the Senate to oppose a separate issue -- same-sex civil unions.

The resolution to proclaim Sept. 24, 2009, as Islam Day passed the Senate on a 22-3 vote. It had previously passed the House and now goes to Republican Gov. Linda Lingle.

The bill seeks to recognize "the rich religious, scientific, cultural and artistic contributions" that Islam and the Islamic world have made. It does not call for any spending or organized celebration of Islam Day.

"We are a state of tolerance. We understand that people have different beliefs," said Sen. Will Espero, a Democrat. "We may not all agree on every single item and issue out there, but to say and highlight the negativity of the Islamic people is an insult to the majority" of believers "who are good law-abiding citizens of the world."

But Republican Sen. Sam Slom argued that the United States has become too sympathetic toward Islamic extremists.

"I don't think there's any country in the history of the world that has been more tolerant than the United States of America, and because of that tolerance, we've looked the other way a lot of times, and many thousands of our citizens have been killed by terrorists," said Slom, a Republican.

The lone Democrat voting against the bill opposed it on church-state separation fears.

Muslim Congressman at Darfur Protest ... oh the irony

It strikes me as bloody savage that militant Muslims in Congress (whose trip to the hajj was on the Muslim Brotherhood's dime) are protesting for "muslims in Darfur," when in fact it is an Islamic government that has murdered millions in the cause of jihad. It's an Islamic jihad in Sudan. No one ever talks about that.

Muslim Congressman Arrested With Dhimmicrats at Darfur Protest Islam in Action

US Islamist Congressman Keith Ellison was arrested as he was protesting for aid groups to be allowed into Darfur to help his Muslim brothers.

Rep. Ellison arrested during Darfur protest
By BOB VON STERNBERG, Star Tribune
U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison, D-Minn., and four other members of Congress were arrested this morning in front of the Sudanese Embassy in Washington, D.C., as they protested the expulsion of aid groups in Darfur.

It was an apparently unprecedented act by a member of Minnesota's congressional delegation and somewhat out of character for Ellison, who has kept a generally low profile since he arrived in Congress, attracting international attention as its first Muslim member.

News archives show that no other members of the state's delegation have been arrested for civil disobedience; former Sen. Dave Durenberger was arrested on disorderly conduct charges in 1986 after he argued with a police officer and a taxi dispatcher. The charges were dismissed.

Before being led away in handcuffs during the mid-morning protest, Ellison said it's wrong to deprive aid to what he called "the most vulnerable people on our planet."

"They were speaking on the embassy steps and were asked to leave," said Ellison spokesman Rick Jauret. "When they didn't, they were arrested."

Ellison and a total of seven other protesters were taken away by U.S. Secret Service agents and are expected to be charged with trespassing, Jauert said.

Also arrested were Reps. Jim McGovern, D-Mass., John Lewis, D-Ga., Donna Edwards, D-Md., and Lynn Woolsey, D-Calif., and three Darfur activist leaders.

Syracuse Legitimizing Islamic (Shariah) Law

To insert islamic law (shariah) in the same sentence  as "humanitarian" law is so patently dishonest and dangerous and bad enough, but a conference that attempts to put the two together is criminal. It is propaganda under the guise of education.

What deception! This is taqiyya, lies to advance Islam. Who is underwriting this? What petrosheikdom is Syracuse whoring itself out for? Or is this part of OIC compliance in league with the Alliance of Civilizations? Islamic law ...think taliban. Think stoning, public hangings of gays, honor killings, clitorectomies, beheading, death penalties for apostasy and hypocrisy, (and reinterpreting the  Koran), shariah finance, child marriage, marital rape, death to rape victims.....

Islamic law should be crushed, extinguished from the pages of modern history - relegated to seventh century barbarism.

Atlas reader Scott G wrote me, "I recently received a self congratulatory e-mail from the Dean's office for the school of Arts and Sciences boasting of a conference that explores and celebrates Islamic thinking in humanitarian law. This conference takes place this week.

Dhimmitude in CNY? It seems this conference will whitewash Islamic law and give it legitimacy as a valid source of legislation. No one reads my blog, but maybe you can get some action on stopping this. Though I'm sure it's too late now."

Any of my readers on the board of Syracuse? Someone needs to slap these asshats out of it. These people are going to be eaten alive.

4.17.2009 Workshop, Syracuse University: The goal of the initiative’s first workshop is to begin identifying the most pressing issues at the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and humanitarian law and to consider how their shared concerns may prompt creativity in addressing present gaps in IHL—notably, the lack of standards for dealing with the rise of irregular armies or the inability of the law to accommodate asymmetric forms of attacks by non-state entities against sovereign states.

III Network and Related Initiatives: INSCT is developing partnerships on different aspects of this topic with the United Institute for Peace’s (USIP) Rule of Law Center of Innovation, which develops strategies for policymakers and practitioners to promote the rule of law in fragile and post-conflict societies; and Harvard University’s International Humanitarian Law Research Initiative (IHLRI), a central resource for the reaffirmation and development of international humanitarian law based at the Program on Humanitarian Policy and Conflict Research (HPCR) at the Harvard School of Public Health.

Well, the 20 million dollar gift that Harvard received from the Saudis really did pay off.

ISLAM AND INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN LAW (hat tip Scott G)

304 Tolley Humanities Building, Syracuse University

Overview: The Islam-IHL initiative examines from multiple perspectives the ongoing role of Islam, including Islamic leaders, in International Humanitarian Law (IHL), and the potential of that contribution for contending with new forms of warfare and international conflicts. The goal of the Workshop is to begin identifying the most pressing issues at the intersection of Islamic jurisprudence and humanitarian law and to consider how their shared concerns may prompt creativity in addressing troubling gaps in IHL today—notably, the lack of standards for dealing with the rise of irregular armies, or the inability of the law to accommodate asymmetric forms of attacks by non-state entities against sovereign states.

NUTS!

Topics for Discussion will likely include the role of culturally and religiously-based legal norms and their authoritative sources for limiting armed conflict’s effects on victims; the meaning of asymmetry from the perspective of the weaker party; conflicting and even incompatible notions of legitimacy and defense in military actions; and the role of universal human rights standards in relation to culture and conflict.

Approach: The bodies of law under consideration are “living traditions,” to paraphrase the 8th century jurist al-Awzai’s view of Islamic law, the uninterrupted, intergenerational practice of adapting approved legal precepts to contemporary circumstances. This view rebuts the tendency to reduce Western and Islamic legal traditions to static or monolithic constructs by recognizing each as complex, dynamic, and plural (made up of sub-traditions). Given the inherent complexity of this subject across traditional disciplines and practice areas (i.e., international humanitarian, military, legal, and policy communities) an interdisciplinary approach and sustained collaboration for advancing knowledge on this pressing topic is necessary.

Objective: The resulting analysis from the Islam-IHL initiative will lay the groundwork for engaging a larger community of practitioners and scholars in understanding the relationship between IHL and Islamic law for internationally viable approaches to present-day asymmetric challenges—including those involving Islamic groups or states.

Research questions:

· What role does Islam play in international laws and norms for conducting warfare and why do some consider Islamic law an alternative to IHL?

· Does incorporating primary and secondary Islamic sources foster a different understanding and legal interpretation of key IHL provisions and its present challenges today?

· What shared or divergent visions and precepts underlie IHL and Islamic attempts to humanize warfare?

· Do Islamic doctrines of warfare have lessons for contemporary conflict settings, asymmetric warfare, non-state belligerents, present gaps in IHL, or the relationship between Jus in bello and Jus ad bellum?

· Are contesting interpretations of Islamic law enabling Islamist interpretations of warfare and the use of violence for social and political change?

· What would a productive synthesis look like between Islamic jurisprudence and IHL that humanizes war while preserving state’s sovereignty, a balance central to the universal acceptance of IHL?

Extreme Dhimmitude Brought to You By The Chicago Police Department

This is the taqiyya being spread by the dhimmi Chicago Police Department. This is beyond frightening when you consider that Islam is at war with the West in every country they invade across the world. (hat tip rqf)

Muslims respect civil law, even where it conflicts with sharia

Islam is typical of our diverse heritage of faiths

Muslims sectarianism doesn't exist

Islam promotes peaceful solutions

Rear base muslims have nothing to do with forward base jihad-terror

Muslims integrate well

Muslims tolerate Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Seculars, Atheists, etc

 

How do I know the above?  The Chicago Police Department says so:

Video produced by the Chicago Police Department about the culture and Religion of Islam. NUTS!

Straight from Obamaland. Is it any wonder? This is the same city where yesterday the Muslim who beat and bit her niece to death complained of insult and humiliation when her mug shot was taken. CAIR spokesman in Chicago said, "they should respect the modesty of the accused." The child had 55 separate bruises and was beaten "from head to toe".

SAVE THAT LITTLE GIRL'S LIFE IN NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE

The little girl crying about the abuse in sharia class and referring to her husband is in imminent danger. Al Farooq lurkers should know that we know who the little girl is, and we are watching you. WATCHING YOU INSIDE. Lay a hand on that child and you are busted.

We are going to have to press very hard on a seemingly corrupt Tennessee law enforcement/political machine. Our law enforcement in Nashville and throughout the U.S. must assure the American public that violence being taught to innocent children is against the law and is not covered by the U.S. Constitution. Public pressure is the method to ensure that our well intentioned LE departments and prosecutors (local, state, federal) do their jobs.

Many of you have asked for a transcript of the horrific video of the the little 7 year old girl:  VIDEO: CHILD MARRIAGE, SHARIAH BEATINGS IN AL FAROOQ MOSQUE IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE Young Child (7 years old) Mentions her Husband - Sexual abuse/Pedophilia

Much thanks to KGS of Tundra, who always helps me out with transcribing.

Child: You have to kick them out...

Adult: What's a good place for me to live?

Child: Not  in Shelbyville ..... Shelbyville  is not a good place because there's a lot of security there.

Adult: There are a lot of Somalis there?

Child: Somalians? Well yeah.[unclear 0:22-0:24]  First they used to be spanish speaking, then americans, and then they came all [unclear 0:28-0:31] Somalia.. [ asks then a question, unclear]

Adult: I don't know, I'll have to find some place. Do you know where there's Clarksville [or Crossville]?

Child: Crossville hhhmm...

Adult: Those are places I was looking.

Beginning:

Adult: Do you go out with? (unclear)

Child: Nine o'clock...do you know Sanku, do you know Sanku?

Adult: Kind of a big teacher?

Child: Do you know [unclear 0:14] I want to work there, it's a very good place. But do you know the teachers, they hit the children.

Adult: They hit you? Hard?

Child: The hit us so hard.

Adult: Do they hurt you?

Child: Yes, today, today [unclear 030-0:34] ...do you know what, a little bit, my legs a little bit hurt..I walk like this and then I tripped down a little bit...

Adult: But that was an accident, that's ok.

Child: [unclear 0:59] ..there is a place where people can hide in,..my friends, in my friends house that have a little place to hide in and you could stay there.

Adult: Also find some place that maybe has like a river or a lake or something like.....

Third video:

Child: The took all of them all of them, and do you know my husband, my [unclear 0:06]?  and do you knw the car, they should have.....

The research intelligence David Gaubatz obtained in Nashville has been provided to Law Enforcement in the Nashville area.

David Gaubatz uncovered this:

-The children and adults are being taught to not follow the laws of the U.S.

-The children and adults are being taught to kill innocent people. The evidence I obtained is not the historical references, but current material. I went to several prayers and was able to spend several hours studying at the mosque. I talked with worshippers and saw the children being lectured. I have the materials.

--The normal reaction from LE is to ignore because the masjid is called a 'religious organization'. No person or organization in the U.S., regardless of what they hide behind (Christians, Jewish, Muslims, or other) are allowed by law to advocate to our children (of all races, Religions, or cultures) to kill innocent people or sedition against our country.

--If a 3rd grader at a public school were to write a note advising his friends to kill people, the school would be locked down, the SWAT team would immediately be sent out, and the local Prosecutors office would file charges against the child. In this case we have adults at Al Farooq doing this, but hiding behind 'religion'.

We know from previous cases that Tennessee is a problem. Do you recall the case of Rosine Ghawji? Robert covered it in depth here.

She wrote me:

Pamela,

I am in Tennessee. Thank you for posting those videos and trying to attract the attention of the legislature. BUT the state is corrupt . Women are abused by judges, children are in danger but nothing is done.
The reason the Sharia law will be in place  here sooner than in another state  is because of the ignorance and corruption
My judge ruined my boys. She was barely reprimanded by the Court of the Judiciary . Judge Fields used the Sharia law full blast in my divorce settlement, She did not even know what Hajj meant and ruled for my husband just because he was rich.
There are moles in the law enforcement too.
When I testified in front of the legislature....... I was told to shut up and take the story out of the state.
We do have now a majority of republicans elected but so far it is a joke.......
Women in Tennessee who are abused are told to stay silent in court otherwise they will be jailed or lose their children.
One of them was just taken to jail recently...
Every thing is under the blanket because the medias are bought off.

When Joe Kaufman was supposed to come and testify in my case, the judge put a motion scire facias against him preventing him from coming to the State.
and when you look in my file...... my  husband's attorney produced a fake testimony stating that Joe Kaufman refused to testify.
It is a lie. flat lie

Everything can be documented. Women are now trying to get together but it is a battle.

Hear Rosine's story, as she tells it, in front of the Tennessee Legislature (August 27, 2007). Rosine Ghawji was married to and had two children with an individual tied to a number of terror networks.

VIDEO: CHILD MARRIAGE, SHARIAH BEATINGS IN AL FAROOQ MOSQUE IN NASHVILLE TENNESSEE Young Child (7 years old) Mentions her Husband - Sexual abuse/Pedophilia

UPDATE: AUDIO VIDEOS:

There is a first-hand undercover investigation being done in Al-Farooq mosque in Nashville, TN. What has been exposed is unthinkable. This is video footage of a first-hand undercover investigation done in Al-Farooq mosque. Listen to a 7 year old talk about her husband and how they are beaten during shariah class. The video is just the sound, as these kids are in tremendous danger and the undercover person inside needed to hide the camera deeply. We are working on the sound quality. Listen to the girl stating how kids are beaten as she begins to cry.

Listen, "the teachers, they hit the children". Listen carefully to the desperate child describing the abuse. PLEASE START MAKING PHONE CALLS TO YOUR GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS DEMANDING A FULL BLOWN INVESTIGATION.

Who will speak for these children? Who will fight for these children?

LISTEN TO THE SEVEN YEAR OLD REFER TO HER "HUSBAND" (five seconds in).

THE STATE DEPARTMENT IS IMPORTING WHOLE MUSLIM COMMUNITIES FROM SOMALIA TO THE U.S. And who decides who will come to America under the "refugee resettlement program"? The UN, that's who.

Now you can understand why un-indicted co-conspirator (and Zakat-eligible) CAIR is working feverishly to keep the FBI out of the mosques. Their daily action alerts are rife with accusations of some bogus grievance, some right violated .....all to protect the most heinous crimes.

ACLU Accuses FBI, Police of Spying on Peaceful Groups ...

CHICAGO -- The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois believes the FBI and local police, working as members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force, are encouraging rampant spying, NBC5's Mary Ann Ahern reported.

ACLU legal director Harvey Grossman said the groups filed Freedom of Information Act requests on Thursday with the FBI to find out why the surveillance by task forces set up to combat terrorism also targeted anti-war and Islamic groups. The civil liberties organization wants to know who has been interviewed, investigated or subjected to searches by the task forces, and how the task forces are funded.

The filing by the ACLU and local activists group mirrors similar actions taken in several cities across the nation on Thursday.

California: Rift develops between Muslims, FBI over mosque surveillance

IRVINE – A coalition of Islamic organizations angered by reports of the government sending a paid informant to infiltrate Orange County mosques is threatening to cut ties with the FBI and accusing the agency of using "McCarthy-era tactics."

The Nashville mosque story is horrendous, and the FBI won't touch it. They had no problem raiding the compound in TX, but not this one which is a lot worse. It's not just child abuse that is happening down there, but they can bust the mosque and these "pious Muslims" on child abuse charges. We can get them on that - think Al Capone and tax evasion. And Americans can see how this is tied to shariah, which Obama's latest appointee wishes to bring to America.

The media made initial attempts to cover it. However, they backed off when they noticed the local bought FBI and the headquarters were not willing to do anything, even after overwhelming evidence. This case needs attention NOW. Not tomorrow or next week, but now. I am sending the invitation to the story to a whole bunch of independent sources. I got some, but you do a good job in investigation. With this case, we have lots and lots of evidence. The mosques are ranked from 1 -10 in terms of the threat level. A 10 is the highest, and it extremely rare that a mosque/etc. gets a 10. But in Nashville one of the mosques investigated got a 10. It is disgusting and quite disturbing and this in addition to the typical violent teachings/indoctrination and calls for violent jihad.

The FBI have done nothing. They had no problem in raiding a Mormon compound that didn't pose a threat like this one does. If law enforcement won't protect us from this violent scourge, then who will? Something must be done now, not tomorrow, not next week, NOW. If the corrupt media won't cover it, you must demand that your elected officials enforce the laws of our land.

1. Material (lectures, books, and manuals) by convicted terrorist supporters such as Ali al-Timimi and others is available and provided to worshippers (to include children).
2. Worshippers advocate Sharia law in its entirety.
3. A child informed my female researcher the Islamic teachers "hit" them during Islamic studies, and "her leg hurts."
4. Worshippers advised polygamy is being practiced by some men of the mosque.
5. My female researcher was escorted by an Al-Farooq worshipper to a Somali store "hidden" in a section of Nashville that could only be located if taken there. The worshipper informed my researcher the "store" had moved because of "government problems." "Bootleg" copies of Islamic lectures/films were being provided at the store (observed by my researcher) and this store was involved in financial transactions, such as sending money from America to Somalia/other locations.
6. I reviewed many of the materials distributed by the mosque, and there are statements advocating killing people and destroying countries where people do not live their lives under Sharia law and who oppress Islam/Muslims.
7. Sedition and treasonous activity is being advocated through the distribution of Islamic Jihadist materials.

This is a very dangerous mosque  based on these materials - planning and plotting  for certain - of what, who can know?

Dave Gaubatz, currently the Director of the Mapping Sharia Project and the Owner of DG Counter-terrorism Publishing (dgaubatz.blogspot.com), has done dangerous, groundbreaking work on this story. His sources, independent of mine, confirm these heinous crimes. He can be contacted at davegaubatz@gmail.com. Read the whole thing here.

My CT researchers and I conducted ‘first-hand’ research at a predominately Somalia based mosque, Al-Farooq Masjid, 1421 4^th Ave. S. Nashville, TN. Initially I conducted a pre-assessment of the various Islamic Centers within the area. Although there are other mosques in the area advocating the ideology of Sharia law for the U.S. and advocating the same ideology as Islamic terrorists groups, our research uncovered more frightening and disturbing intelligence. Not only does Al-Farooq provide materials by convicted Islamic terrorists to their worshippers, they practice polygamy (per statements made by Al Farooq worshippers) as allowed under Sharia law, which also advocates children to be taken as ‘child brides’ married to older men. One need only research how often this occurs in Somalia.

In Feb 09, I obtained evidence and there were several indicators the children were being physically and emotionally abused. I immediately provided my analysis and concerns to authorities. Almost immediately First Amendment religious freedom rights came up and their fear of being sued by Islamic organizations. I knew from the beginning when I had to explain the basics of Sharia law and who Islamic scholars such as Ahmad Sakr (U.S. based scholar who lectures to children and informs them to not follow the U.S. Constitution, but instead to follow Sharia law) are, it would be useless to rely on them alone to protect the innocent children of al Farooq, which ultimately means our country is not being protected. The objective of my company is to simultaneously provide the research intelligence to the American public and to Law Enforcement (LE). In our current times it is often necessary for news organizations and the public to become involved before issues are taken seriously.

In Mar 2009, I sent two researchers (male and female) to Al Farooq to obtain further information. On 9 Mar 2009, a female child informed one of our female researchers she and other children are ‘hit’ at the ‘Al Farooq School’ by a teacher and ‘her’ legs hurt. Additional lectures by convicted terrorists and their supporters were provided to my team. Again I notified authorities, but received no encouragement the allegations of child abuse or the evidence pertaining to Al Farooq leadership advocating violence would be responded to.

Authorities wanted ‘hard evidence’ children were being abused and Islamic leaders at Al Farooq were educating the worshippers to commit violence against innocent people, America, and Israel. Respectfully I advised authorities Americans rely on them to take the lead and conduct investigations pertaining to allegations. My organization is limited in manpower and funds. Taxpayers pay our LE and elected officials to protect our country. It is beyond my capability to convince authorities that distributing material by Al Qaeda, Mawdudi (JI), and Ali Al Timimi to children can lead to violence and is dangerous for all concerned. One need only look at the Palestinian schools who are educated by Hamas.

FP: Do Islamic leaders of Al Farooq, Nashville, TN, advocate and encourage the worshippers of the mosque to hate America and to follow the teachings of convicted Islamic terrorists such as Ali Al Timimi?

Gaubatz: Yes. My team and I were provided several hours of Ali Al Timimi lectures (and others) I had previously never heard, and I have listened to hundreds of hours of lectures by ‘Islamic scholars’.

FP: Do Islamic leaders distribute material in America encouraging Muslim men to violate U.S. laws in regards to ‘polygamy’ and to force children (6 -16 years old) to marry older men?

Gaubatz: Yes. Al Farooq has these materials and polygamy is being practiced. On my blog at www.dgaubatz.blogspot.com, I have attached a one minute clip showing the library of al Farooq. I will update my blog continuously to show exact materials obtained and being distributed at Al Farooq.

FP: Do they (Al Farooq leaders) advocate an Islamic nation in America to be ruled under Sharia law?

Gaubatz: One need only review lectures/materials by Mawdudi, Timimi, Sakr, and Siraj Wahhaj. My team collected evidence supporting the above and can provide sworn affidavits to law enforcement/Department of Justice Officials (DOJ) at any level, but first the American public must convince Nashville authorities that advocating innocent Muslim children to be involved in ‘physical Jihad’ against America is illegal. If we do not have elected officials who can and will do this, then our government should discontinue the double standards of convicting some Islamic scholars (such as Timimi) and ignoring the actions of others.

Obama nominee Sees Sharia in America - why not?

UPDATE: Public Enemy #1 Soros thanked Harold Koh in one of his books

Jawdropper which, given President Hussein's daily record, is no small feat. Sharia law in America? This is the dawning of the barbaric age in America.

I think Koh kinda likes the rape is legit thing. Or is it the child bride thing?

Jihad Watch has the whole thing here:

Obama nominee sees no "reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States"

On top of that, this Obama pick believes that "America's focus on the War on Terror [is] 'obsessive.'" And his list of countries that flagrantly disregard international law highlights North Korea, Iraq, and the U.S.A. -- which he collectively calls "the axis of disobedience."

"Obama's most perilous legal pick," by Meghan Clyne for the New York Post

Will the people not rise up? Do they even know this is happening?

JUDGES should interpret the Constitution according to other nations' legal "norms." Sharia law could apply to disputes in US courts. The United States constitutes an "axis of disobedience" along with North Korea and Saddam-era Iraq.

Those are the views of the man on track to become one of the US government's top lawyers: Harold Koh.

President Obama has nominated Koh -- until last week the dean of Yale Law School -- to be the State Department's legal adviser. In that job, Koh would forge a wide range of international agreements on issues from trade to arms control, and help represent our country in such places as the United Nations and the International Court of Justice.

It's a job where you want a strong defender of America's sovereignty. But that's not Koh. He's a fan of "transnational legal process," arguing that the distinctions between US and international law should vanish.

What would this look like in a practical sense? Well, California voters have overruled their courts, which had imposed same-sex marriage on the state. Koh would like to see such matters go up the chain through federal courts -- which, in turn, should look to the rest of the world. If Canada, the European Human Rights Commission and the United Nations all say gay marriage should be legal -- well, then, it should be legal in California too, regardless of what the state's voters and elected representatives might say.

He even believes judges should use this "logic" to strike down the death penalty, which is clearly permitted in the US Constitution.

The primacy of international legal "norms" applies even to treaties we reject. For example, Koh believes that the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child -- a problematic document that we haven't ratified -- should dictate the age at which individual US states can execute criminals. Got that? On issues ranging from affirmative action to the interrogation of terrorists, what the rest of the world says, goes.

Including, apparently, the world of radical imams. A New York lawyer, Steven Stein, says that, in addressing the Yale Club of Greenwich in 2007, Koh claimed that "in an appropriate case, he didn't see any reason why sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States."

A spokeswoman for Koh said she couldn't confirm the incident, responding: "I had heard that some guy . . . had asked a question about sharia law, and that Dean Koh had said something about that while there are obvious differences among the many different legal systems, they also share some common legal concepts."

Score one for America's enemies and hostile international bureaucrats, zero for American democracy.

Koh has called America's focus on the War on Terror "obsessive." In 2004, he listed countries that flagrantly disregard international law -- "most prominently, North Korea, Iraq, and our own country, the United States of America," which he branded "the axis of disobedience.[...]

Even though he's up for a State Department job, Koh is a key test case in the "judicial wars." If he makes it through (which he will if he gets even a single GOP vote) the message to the Obama team will be: You can pick 'em as radical as you like.

CAIR'S ADVICE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA: 10 TERMS NOT TO USE WITH MUSLIMS

This would be hysterical were it not so serious. I received un-indicted co-conspirator CAIR's daily alert and it contained this "advice" (warning?) for President Hussein's trip(s) to the Islamic world to apologize (for 9.11, I guess). The trip this week to Turkey will not be his only trip to an Islamic country. We are still waiting to hear in which Islamic capital President Hussein will make his first major foreign policy address (my money is on Damascus).

The level of dishonesty and downright imbecility in the following "advice" is well, insulting. I am sure I speak for millions when I say, if we never had to think about Islam and its war on the infidels, we would be eternally grateful.

The following was sent out by CAIR written by a dhimmi Christian. It's ....priceless.

As President Obama considers his first speech in a Muslim majority country (he visits Turkey April 6-7), and as the US national security establishment reviews its foreign policy and public diplomacy, I want to share the advice given to me from dear Muslim friends worldwide regarding words and concepts that are not useful in building relationships with them.

Building relationships - translation: submit to Islam.

Obviously, we are not going to throw out all of these terms, nor should we. But we do need to be very careful about how we use them, and in what context.

Very.

1. "The Clash of Civilizations." Invariably, this kind of discussion ends up with us as the good guy and them as the bad guy. There is no clash of civilizations, only a clash between those who are for civilization, and those who are against it. Civilization has many characteristics but two are foundational: 1) It has no place for those who encourage, invite, and/or commit the murder of innocent civilians; and 2) It is defined by institutions that protect and promote both the minority and the transparent rule of law.

If Islam vs. the West I don't know what one would ever use such a phrase for September 11, July 7, London, March 11, Spain, Mumbai, jihad in Thailand, jihad in Philippines, Khobar, Cole, Glasgow, lone jihad syndrome, Somalia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Beslan, punk jihad in France, Denmark, Holland, biker jihad in Australia, meat jihad, food jihad, fecal jihad, Andalusia, 12,093* (as of today) deadly Islamic attacks since 911, litigation jihad, academic jihad, social jihad, economic jihad, sharia finance, sharia law, papal jihad, cartoon jihad, the war on the Jews, ............must I go on?

2. "Secular." The Muslim ear tends to hear "godless" with the pronunciation of this word. And a godless society is simply inconceivable to the vast majority of Muslims worldwide. Pluralism – which encourages those with (and those without) a God-based worldview to have a welcomed and equal place in the public square – is a much better word.

Of course. There is no such thing as secular Islam. Only pious Islam. Secular Islam is the only shot Islam has to live in peace and harmony with the rest of the world. Don't even think of mentioning it.

3. "Assimilation." This word suggests that the minority Muslim groups in North America and Europe need to look like the majority, Christian culture. Integration, on the other hand, suggests that all views, majority and minority, deserve equal respect as long as each is willing to be civil with one another amid the public square of a shared society.

Of course, assimilation is punishable by death. Of course. Assimilation would allow Muslims to live in peace and harmony with their neighbors. Islam is a constant state of war until worldwide domination is complete. Assimilation. Don't even think of mentioning it.

4. "Reformation." Muslims know quite well, and have an opinion about, the battle taking place within Islam and what it means to be an orthodox and devout Muslim. They don't need to be insulted by suggesting they follow the Christian example of Martin Luther. Instead, ask how Muslims understand ijtihad, or reinterpretation, within their faith traditions and cultural communities.

"No need to be insulted" speaking of reformation. And everyone knows that reformation and reinterpretation is a crime punishable by death in the Quran. Don't even think of mentioning it, dhimmi.

5. "Jihadi." The jihad is an internal struggle first, a process of improving one's spiritual self-discipline and getting closer to God. The lesser jihad is external, validating "just war" when necessary. By calling the groups we are fighting "jihadis," we confirm their own – and the worldwide Muslim public's – perception that they are religious. They are not. They are terrorists, hirabists, who consistently violate the most fundamental teachings of the Holy Koran and mainstream Islamic scholars and imams.

Ah, an "internal struggle first," then kill. Terrorists commit .................jihad.

6. "Moderate." This ubiquitous term is meant politically but can be received theologically. If someone called me a "moderate Christian," I would be deeply offended. I believe in an Absolute who also commands me to love my neighbor. Similarly, it is not an oxymoron to be a mainstream Muslim who believes in an Absolute. A robust and civil pluralism must make room for the devout of all faiths, and none.

Of course not, there is no such thing as a moderate. Only apostates and hypocrites!

7. "Interfaith." This term conjures up images of watered-down, lowest common denominator statements that avoid the tough issues and are consequently irrelevant. "Multifaith" suggests that we name our deep and irreconcilable theological differences in order to work across them for practical effect – according to the very best of our faith traditions, much of which are values we share.

There's no such thing as inter-faith. There is only one religion. Convert or die ............. if they are feeling benevolent, there is always dhimmitude.

8. "Freedom." Unfortunately, "freedom," as expressed in American foreign policy, does not always seek to engage how the local community and culture understands it. Absent such an understanding, freedom can imply an unbound licentiousness. The balance between the freedom to something (liberty) and the freedom from something (security) is best understood in a conversation with the local context and, in particular, with the Muslims who live there. "Freedom" is best framed in the context of how they understand such things as peace, justice, honor, mercy, and compassion. [and respect!, Do not forget respect!]

Unfortunately, freedom is a dirty word. The translation of freedom in Islam is "perfect slavery" (to Allah) - got that? Obama went to madrassah from the ages of six to eleven - he knows all this.

9. "Religious Freedom." Sadly, this term too often conveys the perception that American foreign policy is only worried about the freedom of Protestant evangelicals to proselytize and convert, disrupting the local culture and indigenous Christians. Although not true, I have found it better to define religious freedom as the promotion of respect and reconciliation with the other at the intersection of culture and the rule of law – sensitive to the former and consistent with the latter.

Sadly, there is not such thing as "religious freedom". There is only Islam. Protestant evangelicals do not go around chopping peoples' heads off if they do not convert. Evangelicals are not the problem. There's that word again, RESPECT (aka submission).

10. "Tolerance." Tolerance is not enough. Allowing for someone's existence, or behavior, doesn't build the necessary relationships of trust – across faiths and cultures – needed to tackle the complex and global challenges that our civilization faces. We need to be honest with and respect one another enough to name our differences and commonalities, according to the inherent dignity we each have as fellow creations of God called to walk together in peace and justice, mercy and compassion. 

"Tolerance is not enough". Total submission.

The above words and phrases will differ and change over the years, according to the cultural and ethnic context, and the (mis)perceptions that Muslims and non-Muslims have of one another. While that is to be expected, what counts most is the idea that we are earnestly trying to listen to and understand each other better; demonstrating respect as a result.

RESPECT!

KNOXVILLE: MUSLIMS SEEK TO STOP RESTAURANT THAT SELLS BEER

"I want to feed the community. We are providing a service to the Fort Sanders community and we have a good blue plate, a good cheap lunch and dinner," Infidel Trevor Hill

Islam imposes its law on Main street, USA. This is what I mean when I say "imposing their Islam" and "Islamic supremacism". Their law does not supersede ours. They are not a special class. We Americans do not have to change our ways, our lives, our laws to bow and submit to Islamic law. What part of the Constitution do these Muslims not understand?

I strongly recommend that my readers in and around Knoxville, Tennessee, get involved in this issue and get involved now. Just say no to Islamic supremacism. And yes, there are jobs involved in this economic free fall .........but that is not the key issue here, as critical as that is.

Oh, and we come across that word again -- "conservative" -- in describing this thuggery. I am sure you have noticed this. I have been pointing this out to you for some time -- the lexicon of deathspeak that President Hussein has become so prolific at. The word conservative is the word du jour used to describe "pious" Muslims and Islamic violent ideology. Expect to see more and more of this, in a vain attempt to make 'conservative' a dirty word.

Mosque disputes sale of alcohol at nearby Knoxville restaurant Channel 6 (hat tip Kasper)

KNOXVILLE (WATE) -- Plans are underway to open a new restaurant in a Fort Sanders neighborhood building that has sat empty for years. Its owner wants to serve alcohol, and that's a problem for members of the Muslim Community of Knoxville nearby.

The two buildings are 191 feet apart. The mosque is at 100 13th Street and the restaurant would be at 1105 Forest Avenue.

According to a Knoxville city ordinance, beer can't be sold within 300 feet of a house of worship. But as it turns out, there are other laws that make the issue more complicated.

"We assumed that in Knoxville, all houses of worship would have some sort of buffer," Nadeem Siddiqi says.

Siddiqi is talking about the building being renovated behind Annoor Mosque. It was once an eyesore.

In another month, it may become home to "The Hill," a restaurant that serves alcohol and has music and dancing.

"We're trying to promote some conservative behavior to some degree, and being right next to a nightclub seems like a bad location for us," Siddiqi says.

Still, construction continues on the restaurant.

The owner, Trevor Hill, says he doesn't see any problem with the location. He's applied for a beer permit and liquor license and he intends to have a large menu.

Go Trevor!

"I want to feed the community. We are providing a service to the Fort Sanders community and we have a good blue plate, a good cheap lunch and dinner," Hill says.

The city won't issue a beer permit if the restaurant in question is within 300 feet of a church and in this situation, the restaurant is less than 200 feet from the mosque and community center.

But if the state issues a liquor license, it's a different story.

A city ordinance reads that the distance requirement is void if the restaurant receives a state license for liquor by the drink. The state does not have a distance requirement.  

"They're entitled to their opinion, and I am in compliance with the codes and laws of the state of Tennessee and Knox County so I don't know what else to do," Hill says.

He plans to hire 50 employees and open his doors in early April. By that time, he hopes to have a liquor license in hand.

The beer board deferred approval for a permit for The Hill Tuesday night as it has several times.

Beer Board Chairman Steve Hall says the board isn't going to make a decision about giving the owner a beer permit until the state approves or denies the liquor license.

The board will meet again on April 21 and likely take up the issue.

GO TO THAT MEETING. GO TO THAT MEETING. GO TO THAT MEETING.

TWITTERING, LIVEBLOGGING, LIVESTREAMING THE SAUDI HATE SCHOOL HEARING LIVE

 

UPDATE: Jeffrey Imm, who addressed the panel, has a comprehensive post here.

During one of the few breaks in the heated meeting due to the overflowing crowd of ISA supporters, several of those who sought to speak out against the ISA were cornered and confronted by some ISA supporters. These ISA supporters denied all of the reports by the Associated Press, the Washington Post, other media, and U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. These ISA supporters told activists that the Washington Post and other reports of ISA textbooks calling for jihad and calling Jews apes and Christians pigs - were all lies. These ISA supporters said that the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom's report criticizing ISA textbooks stating that it is permissible for Muslims to kill coverts from Islam and adulterers - was a lie. They said reports of former ISA valedictorian Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, convicted in federal court of joining Al-Qaeda and plotting to assassinate President Bush - were a lie. They said that FBI reports that former ISA student Mohammed El-Yacoubi was carrying a suicide note with what it believed was planned to be a suicide bombing attack in Israel - were a lie. According to these ISA supporters, all of the reports about the problems with ISA are nothing but lies. In this exchange, one woman ISA supporter shouted out "it is all lies" and then after discovering that one of the cornered rights activists was a Christian, stated that "the Jews killed your Jesus." Later the same woman ISA supporter reiterated that ISA does not support hate.

In Virginia, while a bullying mob declared "I Support ISA," you should know that there were fearless activists who clearly sent the message that "We Support USA," and the inalienable human rights of equality and liberty inherent in America's identity.

But citizens concerned about the spread of Islamic supremacists' threat to equality and liberty must not ignore how vastly outnumbered such activists were and continue to be in representing us in public events and before government agencies. The six activists speaking out against the Islamic supremacist nature of the Islamic Saudi Academy were outnumbered by the estimated 600 ISA supporters by nearly 100 to one. This is not the first or the last such public event where the larger consensus on equality and liberty needs greater representation.

Clearly when supporters of Islamic supremacist institutions publicly demonstrate that they can outnumber their opposition by such vast numbers, such supporters will become further emboldened and confident in their ability to influence government agencies, laws, and legislature. In the Washington DC metropolitan area, and around the nation, it is not enough to commiserate privately over our concerns about Islamic supremacism, or to think that "preaching to the choir" on shared Internet blogs and via email is really accomplishing anything.

Those who believe that we can win victories for freedom by merely marching in place and reassuring ourselves -- need to wake up. If we are not willing to get out in public to defend equality and liberty as citizen activists, we can be certain that there will be plenty of others supporting institutions and ideologies that do not respect equality and liberty who will act in public. Those who support ideologies against equality and liberty will continue to persuade the media, the government, and your neighbors -- that they represent the majority of public opinion. We cannot expect courage from our government, if we don't see courage from the public they represent.

Will you let them win? Or will you do something about it?

Defending equality and liberty is inconvenient. It takes time and commitment. It costs you money. It interferes with your life. But equality and liberty cannot be taken for granted, with the forces of supremacism that are on the march, not just in Northern Virginia, but around the nation and the world. When you consider how inconvenient it is to challenge supremacism, think about what your life would be like without equality and liberty. Think about what type of future and legacy we would leave for the children and future generations. Good intentions are never enough. Being responsible for equality and liberty means that your action is needed now.

To help in the activist focus on issues challenging equality and liberty, our organization "Responsible for Equality And Liberty (R.E.A.L.)" at realcourage.org has listed future events where we are publicly challenging supremacism. Take the time to look for such events, and see where you can get involved with R.E.A.L. or other activist organizations, such as ACT for America.

The next time you are concerned about the growth of Islamic supremacism in foreign lands, never forget that those who seek to challenge equality and liberty are right here today in America too.

Remember those like the "Fairfax 600" that publicly supported an Islamic supremacist institution in Virginia. They are convinced that you aren't willing to publicly challenge them. They are convinced that those supporting equality and liberty either don't care or are too afraid.

But those of us responsible for equality and liberty will Fear No Evil.

UPDATE: The bottom line is the "panel" was openly hostile to the anti-sharia folks and the residents. The Saudis pulled out all the taqiyya stops -- what a charade. The most powerful was a young Irish guy who had a Muslim girlfriend (and he was testifying at risk of his lover's wrath) and his friends were mostly Muslim. He said he knew kids who attended the school and they absolutely teach hate. His remarks about getting harassed, his car keyed, sugar in his gas tank for expressing his opinions around other Muslims made an impact, though it fell on dhimmi ears.

The whole hearing was depressing. Patriot Americans didn't have a shot.

Carl Beveridge is making the point that the firm that did the traffic study for the staff report was hired by the applicant (ISA).

Christine Brim, SVP, Center for Security Policy is making a hard-hitting presentation on what is promised and what is actually delivered in these deals and ISA's checkered history in these matters ..... the panel addresses no question to Brim. They are in over their tiny pinheads with her.

Jeffrey Imm on religious supremacism is as egregious as racial supremacism.

LIVESTREAM! Andrea Lafferty, TraditionalValues Coalition, representing millions of church members. Lafferty is discussing what is taught in the school, the maps without Israel -- G-d bless this woman. The ISA operates and teaches sharia law. The director who protected a sexual abusing parent was following sharia law. Land use must consider what the land is used for. Go girl! Are you going to sign off on a school that teaches hate and murder of the infidels? Would you sign off on a school for Nazis? The hecklers are laughing, bullying ..........Lafferty is ticking off every crime of the school. Lafferty is a brave soul. Chairman Peter Murphy is berating Lafferty -- asking her "who are the cowardly politicians"? The cowardly politician is asking Lafferty who are the "cowardly politicians". This is rich. Lafferty is a goddess.

***10 minute recess****

Atlas reader and Act for America's Denise Lee is next. She is addressing traffic patterns, septic systems and well water. Land use! "As a real estate broker, I am concerned about property values". Denise is bringing up the hate taught in their textbooks and the sexual abuse cover up by the school director.

Malik Abou is speaking -- in full headdress -- spoke very briefly (two minutes?) only to flatter and thank the dhimmi panel for their "extensive" analysis and for embracing diversity. She admits that the road is narrow and dangerous but it is incumbent upon all of us to drive carefully. The main problem is "a lack of knowledge" about a particular culture. Taqiyya.

Longtime resident Hazel Rathburn speaks -- with a British lilt? Another articulate American. She describes the "disaster waiting to happen" in terms of dangerous traffic conditions. She recites a list of very bad accidents and the increased in teen/children "who love to speed". The parade of great Americans is so impressive -- this is the most striking thing. 

Longtime resident and homeowner President Kasimides (sp?) is discussing the environmental impact. Very powerful presentation by this articulate woman. Smart. Noise, septic, and brings up the valid point that the soccer field was never county approved. The panel does everything in their power to shoot holes in every presentation -- they are Saudi puppets. It's unbelievable. The mostly ISA audience applauds them and the panel member asks that they not applaud -- like, "please, don't make it so obvious that we are in your pocket". Commissioner Janet Hall is really pathetic. She looks (and sounds) like she pals around with Cindy Sheehan. Dhimmi logic.

Next: John Marino -- President of Homeowner Association -- his focus is on traffic safety. Asking panel to reject the Saudi school as a danger to traffic conditions. "Main concern is increased traffic", the "country feel" and the danger to the hair pin curve. LAND USE! Most homeowners heard about the ISA land by accident -- why? Is this something you didn't want homeowners to know?  Or was it that you didn't want to know what homeowners thought?

Next up..... Will Nance. Approaching it from a terrible traffic problem POV. Land use! Smart. "Not a safe street to build a busy school". Please vote NO.

Public hearing open, 35 speakers scheduled. James Lafferty is up. Woot! I know Traditional Family Values Coalition James and his wonderful wife Andrea. He spoke while being loudly booed. He is discussing the "Unworkability of the plan". Most important is they are teaching children to hate. The folks in the hijab are booing and threatening. Panel admonishes the hecklers. James continues...no American should be silent! Please reject the plan! GO JIM GO JIM! So proud of Jim! Crowd heckles.

The fulled covered academic director comes down to answer question on student makeup -- 65% of the students are "American citizens".

DRAMA moment -- the blond attorney asks those in the room who support the school to stand -- all the headscarves stood up. 95 percent of audience is ISA supporters.

US:Muslim Orgs Threaten to end all Contact With FBI

In the wake of finding out that the FBI had an informant in a California Mosque, 11 major US Muslim organizations have threatened to end all out reach programs with the FBI. Demanding that the FBI changes their ways in dealing with potential Islamic threats. Of course these leading Islamic groups once again try and use our freedoms against us to get their way as they are saying "We want our constitutional rights."
They even go as far as to say that the FBI is to blame for potential Islamic terrorists here in America. This is just another example of US Muslims trying to dictate how our country is run. We need to wake up and see that they are not here to be our equals, they are here to dominate.

For the rest....

WAKE UP! WAKE UP!

Did you read this urgent post over at Atlas the day before yesterday? Commit it to memory: BLUEPRINT FOR US SURRENDER TO ISLAM: THE US MUSLIM ENGAGEMENT

Frank Gaffney has more on the stealth creep of Islamic supremacism here and worldwide over at Family Security Matters:

SHARIAH'S BROTHERHOOD

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.

There's more - read Bat Ye'or's remarks here.

Back to Gaffney:

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.

PRAY FOR THE JIHAD

Americans are being besieged with Islamic propaganda on bus ads and billboards in their relentless  multi-pronged strategy to impose their Islam on us.

Atlas reader Henry noticed a few weeks back that these billboards (above) were going up around Houston highways, and he was intrigued, so he visited the website. It is clearly an anti-Israel pro-palestinian site in terms of content. So he emailed them asking how he could be sure the money wouldn't go to terrorism. Here's the answer he received.

MINNESOTA: FIRST STATE TO OFFER ISLAMIC MORTGAGES

The Sheikh family signs papers to close on their first home. (Photo courtesy African Development Center)

 

Parallel systems in America? Since when and why? Galloping sharia. Vile, all of it. It's a usurpation of the the American way.

New Islamic mortgages now available in Minnesota NPR hat tip Chuck

For many Minnesota Muslims, it's been virtually impossible to buy a home, because Islamic law forbids the paying or charging of interest.

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. So why did they come to America if they had no desire to integrate into the fabric of American society?

The African Development Center, with support from the state's housing agency, is now offering Islamic mortgages as a way to help close the home ownership gap among Muslim immigrants.

Minneapolis, Minn. — Islamic law does make exceptions to the ban on interest, if one's family is at stake. But the exceptions are open to interpretation and for many observant Muslims, conventional mortgages are strictly taboo.

So why come here? Why not buy their home in the Islamic home countries?

Nawawi Sheikh is one of them. The Somali-American says he and his wife just couldn't go against their beliefs, even if it meant giving up their dream of owning a home. Still, he grew tired of moving from one rented apartment to another.

"One thing I hated was moving. I don't like to move all the time," he says.

He has no plans to move again anytime soon. Sheikh is the first home buyer to get a loan through the state's New Markets Mortgage Program. That's because, program manager Nimo Farah says, he has all the makings of a successful homeowner.

"I had lots of applications, but he's the first one, because really, he was ready. He has been working at the same job for quite a while; he took care of his credit; he had the right size family, and he had all his documents together," she said. "He was basically ready to go."

The program is targeted at low-to-moderate income families. Qualified applicants have to complete first-time home buyer education classes. The goal is to help Muslim home buyers build wealth and reap the benefits of home ownership.

Here's how the mortgage, known as Murabaha financing or "cost plus sale," works:

The state buys a home and resells it to the buyer at a higher price. The down payment and monthly installments are agreed to up front at current mortgage rates.

The deal is identical to a thirty-year fixed-rate loan, except there's no additional interest, because the higher up front price factors in payments that would have been made over the life of a traditional mortgage.

So the interest is in there but called something else. What bullshit. It's interest by any other name, but it's still interest.

A handful of private banks and lending institutions offer Islamic mortgages in the U.S., but Minnesota Housing is the first state agency to offer such a product. The program is the brainchild of Hussein Samatar, director of the African Development Center in Minneapolis.

"The process is different, but the outcome will look the same," Samatar says. "We wanted to be as conventional as possible, while respecting the tenets of Islam."

I think I am going to puke.

CANADA: PROTEST AGAINST CANADIAN UNION OF PUBLIC EMPLOYEES/CUPE TO BOYCOTT ISRAEL UNIVERSITIES

So who really is the injured party here -- academics shunning Jewish thought? That's like a man stranded in the Sahara refusing a glass of water. Asshattery Jew hating makes asshats of them all. And transparent as well. it is evil. Period.

Check out this post at Atlas here back in April 2006 - it sums it up:

What it represents is the struggle between good and evil. The traditional Jew-peaceful, studious, dedicated to procreation, family and life of worship and simplicity. He is concerned with being benevolent hence the Kosher way of killing animals-without suffering. He does not deviate from faith in God and belief that God, if he is good, will take care of him. On the other side is the trayf  - the more  likely to use physical force, have many wives, or at least does not stay with one family and may beget a few, less concern in procreation rather more concern in pleasure. Kills even for his faith or in the name of his faith. More physical than studious and much less faithful to family and religion.Inflicts pain without remorse and enjoys the disrespect for other living creatures.

Therefore for the strife between good and evil to continue and exist - the fundamental basis and core for this existence  the traditional Jew must survive. If he dies the good is gone and evil takes over the world. The struggle must continue as this is the setup and fabric of this world.

The conquering of Israel is in theory. That piece of beach holds no oil, gold, or any other valuable resources. It however, holds the Jewish people. The world knows that getting the land is meaningless, it is getting the Jew that will be the victory for the forces of evil. However, if the Jew dies they die too as their survival depends on this constant struggle because without it they will lose the meaning and purpose of their existence. And so it goes, a never ending struggle which is the very essence of life as we know it."

Urban sent in this on the scene report: Here are the photos from yesterday's (Sunday February 22nd 2009) protest against CUPE, held in Windsor, Ontario.

Honourable Members of Parliament, the scourge of tyranny and oppression is upon us, from without and within, and its name is Islamo-fascism , fueled in part by re-emergent anti-Semitism ( thinly veiled as indignant anti-Zionism ) , and misdirected Left-Glib self-righteousness.

'Resolution to boycott Israel by CUPE Ontario

discriminatory and racist,’ says B’nai Brith Canada TORONTO, February 22, 2009 – B’nai Brith Canada has labeled as "discriminatory and racist" the resolution passed by CUPE Ontario, which proposes to boycott Israeli universities.

"Central to the boycott Israel resolution passed by CUPE is the notion that the Jewish State is somehow illegitimate," said Frank Dimant, Executive Vice President of B'nai Brith Canada. "It marginalizes its supporters here at home and disenfranchises CUPE members who are supportive of democratic Israel and its right to defend its citizens against terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

"CUPE has gone far afield of its mandate by pushing through a resolution that at its very core is racist, employs a double standard, and which seeks to put a stranglehold on genuine academic exchange.

"Followers of Israel Apartheid Week and its fellow CUPE travelers are promoting hatred and advancing a discriminatory agenda that is at odds with Canadian values of tolerance, respect and human rights for all. We urge the wider CUPE membership to come forward to denounce this resolution and call on the Canadian public to do the same."

B’nai Brith Canada has been active in Canada since 1875 as the Jewish community’s foremost human rights agency

CANADA: "HUMAN RIGHTS" Tribunal Dismisses Koranic Hate Speech Complaint

But but but we're offended by the incitement to genocide of non-believers. WE ARE INSULTED! The hypocrisy of these abuse-of-"human rights" councils astounds.

B.C. man who filed human rights complaint after reading Koran has case dismissed The Canadian Press hat tip Rut

VANCOUVER, B.C. — A B.C. man who filed a human rights complaint after buying a copy of the Koran at a Chapters bookstore has had that complaint dismissed.

John Simpson alleged certain verses of the Koran discriminate against people of Christian and Jewish faith and filed his complaint against Indigo Books & Music Inc. (TSX:IDG), the store's parent company.

Simpson's complaint came under Section 7 of the Human Rights Code.

The section states that a person must not publish any statement that is likely to expose a person or group to hatred or contempt because of their religion.

But B.C. Human Rights Tribunal member Barbara Humphreys says Simpson didn't explain how the Koran, the central religious text of Islam that has existed for more than 1,300 years, had a negative impact on him.

Uh, he could be murdered by this incitement of violence.

Humphreys dismissed the case after ruling that Simpson's complaint would not further the purposes of the Human Rights Code.

But frivolous lawsuits against Mark Steyn, Ezra Levant or Kathy Shaidle that destroy the basic foundation of our very civilization - that's ok. Got it.

MUSLIM ALLOWED TO TAKE DRIVER'S PHOTO WITH HIJAB ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM 1, AMERICAN VALUES 0

They can be militant about Islam but if we stand up for America and rule of law - we are racists. Have I got that right? From terror tied CAIR,

CAIR-OK: OKLA. MUSLIM ALLOWED TO TAKE DRIVER'S PHOTO WITH HIJAB -

(OKLAHOMA CITY, OK ­ 2/20/09) - The Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-OK) today thanked that state's Department of Public Safety (DPS) for allowing a Muslim driver to take her driver's license photograph while wearing a religiously-mandated head scarf, or hijab.

CAIR-OK said the Muslim driver attempted to renew her driver's license in September of last year, but was initially told her she was required to pull her hijab back past her hairline. Following intervention by CAIR-OK, the director of the DPS Driver License Examining Division offered to take the photograph with hijab and to institute diversity training for staff.

This is the advancement of  Islamic supremacism. Special rules for a "special" class -- the opposite of basic fundamental American values. No special groups. Include this story in with yesterday's Muslim prayer in public school where I wrote,  this is about power. There is no special treatment for "special classes". This is how they impose their Islam on a secular society. Muslim footbaths in airports and universities, Muslim cab drivers who refuse to take passengers with dogs or alcohol, prayer times in public schools, prayer times in the work place ............. this is how you lose your country.

Former FBI Special agent John Guandolo:

"They're having great success of implementing Shariah law, I could give you a thousand examples," Guandolo said.

He said small concessions like installing foot baths, and colleges forced to have separate swimming times for Islamic men and women so not to offend Muslims, are other parts of the strategy.

Prayer is not required on a strict schedule and Muslim prayers are commonly “made up” after work or school in Islamic countries including Iran.

.... prayer is not required on a strict schedule and Muslim prayers are commonly “made up” after work or school in Islamic countries including Iran, I decided to investigate the facts behind Islamic Law, foot baths and prayer requirements.

[...] Islamic authorities agree that foot baths are not required to fulfill their washing rituals prior to prayer and that provisions have been clearly defined. According to Islamic Law, you have a symbolic washing alternative or you can wash in one location and pray at another and this one washing can last you through an entire days prayers.

.....Provisions were made to “make up” prayers to accommodate people at work or school, allowing prayers to be postponed.

ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM IN NEW JERSEY: MUSLIM PRAYER IN PUBLIC SCHOOL

FINDING A PLACE TO PRAY New Jersey.com

WAYNE — Rola Awwad wants a private space for her 10-year-old son at Albert Payson Terhune Elementary School to exercise his right to Muslim prayer.

Adam Awwad, 10, praying at the Circassian Benevolent Association in Wayne after being driven there from school by his mother. The school district had offered to let him pray at recess — either outside or in a classroom while classmates are there. And that, says Awwad, is "unacceptable."

All students are constitutionally guaranteed the right to pray during the school day as long as it doesn't interfere with learning. But Wayne is struggling with what accommodations to make if a Muslim student requests privacy for prayer.

UN-INDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR CAIR APPLAUDS PRESIDENT HUSSEIN'S HADITH AT NATIONAL PRAYER

Un-indicted co-conspirator, Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR Welcomes President's Islamic Reference at Prayer Breakfast -----

CAIR WELCOMES PRESIDENT'S ISLAMIC REFERENCE AT PRAYER BREAKFAST - TOP

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 2/5/2009) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today welcomed President Barack Obama's use of a quote from Islam's Prophet Muhammad in his remarks at Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast.

In his prepared remarks, President Obama quoted the prophetic tradition, or "hadith," which states: "None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself." That hadith may be found in Sahih Al-Bukhari, one of the most respected collections of the Prophet Muhammad's statements and actions.

Does that include homicide bombers?

Obama: "There is no religion whose central tenet is hate. There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being."

UPDATE: Robert Spencer takes apart the taqiya that Obama indulged in here.  Here is an excerpt (read it all):

Obama made a number of interesting and highly questionable assertions:

[...] But no matter what we choose to believe, let us remember that there is no religion whose central tenet is hate.

Arguably, that is true: there is no religion whose central tenet is hate: there is no religion that teaches that the most important thing one must do in this world is hate someone or something else. But certainly the religion that comes closest to teaching such a thing is Islam. If the Qur'an doesn't teach that Muslims should hate unbelievers, certainly it teaches that they should be harsh with them, consider them the worst of all created beings, not become friends with them, and, ultimately, wage war against and kill or subjugate them:

"O ye who believe! Fight those of the disbelievers who are near to you, and let them find harshness in you, and know that Allah is with those who keep their duty (unto Him)." -- Qur'an 9:123

"Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures." -- Qur'an 98:6

"Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security...." -- Qur'an 3:28

"O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk." -- Qur'an 5:51

"Then, when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them, and take them (captive), and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush. But if they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due, then leave their way free. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." -- Qur'an 9:5. "If they repent and establish worship and pay the poor-due" essentially means, "If they convert to Islam..."

"Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued." -- Qur'an 9:29

Obama continues:

There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. This much we know.

True, but how does one define "innocent"? Jihadists believe that no non-Muslim can be innocent, simply because he is a non-Muslim. Muslim leaders in the West have insisted for years that no non-Muslim can be innocent, and no one has had the wit or courage to ask any of them to define what they mean by "innocent."

UPDATE: Debbie Schlussel has this: Obama Expands Worst Bush Idea: Announces He'll Give Your Tax $$$ to Mosques, Islamic Charities (hat tip Indie)

Obama, openly noted that his new, expanded Office for Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships WILL, for certain, give money to mosques and Islamic charities in a signal of "outreach to the Muslim world." And Obama hired a 26-year-old campaign worker, Joshua DuBois, to dole the money out to the "Religion of Peace."

When President Barack Obama launches his version of the faith-based initiative Thursday, he will expand the mission to include abortion reduction and outreach to the Muslim world. . . .

He [DuBois] said the president he [sic] won't necessarily single out any particular part of the world, but clearly outreach to Muslim nations will be part of the mix.

So much for all the attacks on me for pointing out Barack Obama's Islamic heritage, over two years ago. This morning, Obama preached from the Koran at the National Prayer Breakfast:

In Islam, there is a hadith that reads 'None of you truly believes until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.'

You know what? Here's another hadith [considered the words of Mohammed] from Islam:

Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 176: Narrated by 'Abdullah bin 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "You (i.e. Muslims) will fight with the Jews till some of them will hide behind stones. The stones will (betray them) saying, 'O 'Abdullah (i.e. slave of Allah)! There is a Jew hiding behind me; so kill him.'" Sahih Bukhari Hadith Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177: Narrated by Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."

Read more of these scintillating hadiths.

Your hard-earned tax dollars will be going to spread this "wisdom" very soon, all in the name of "outreach to the Muslim world."

JOHN LEGEND: KEFFIYEH AT THE SUPER BOWL, INCITEMENT TO HATE

In case there was any doubt. I think it is despicable that symbols of hatred and incitement to violence would not be banned at the Super Bowl. Would Super Bowl officials allow swastikas to be happily paraded about by performers - in this case, the evil or moronic John Legend? These tools haven't a clue - no knowledge, no history, just ghetto stupidity.

Reader EWC emailed me before 3pm today with this story. I have been searching for a picture of Legend in his incitement to Jewish genocide. Debbie Schlussel had it here. And there is a video on this ignorant bastard singing in his nazi uniform here.

The keffiyeh is the symbol of the second holocaust, as witnessed by the sea of keffiyehs in the Death-to-the-Jew marches over the past few weeks.

THE KEFFIYEH: NEW NAZI SYMBOL OF HATE AND ANNIHILATION MANDATORY?

You remember, I broke the story back on May 18, 2008: RACHAEL RAY, DUNKIN DONUTS JIHAD TOOL - and Dunkin Donuts took it down

FIGHTING FOR AQSA PARVEZ

I have been deliberately silent on updating you on the Aqsa Parvez headstone for a reason. Meadowvale cemetery advised me that the family (yes, the family that murdered her) had to "sign off" on the headstone.

As I expected I heard that there have been typical delays - the family wouldn't provide an email to send the artwork ("it wasn't working") so the cemetery had to snail mail it. And so we waited for the "family" to receive it. Now the cemetery has advised us -

"The family want changes and is planning on coming in to see me.  They did not book an appointment yet but I hope to see them soon"

What changes? I do not know. Robert Spencer and I will continue to pursue this vigorously but I may need a plan B. We have raised the funds, thanks to you, righteous readers. G-d bless you infidels.

I do not have a good feeling about this - nothing I say  or don't say in this post now is going to change what is coming down the pike. It is obvious what is happening.

Canada lawyers, can I sue if I have to? Shouldn't the murdering family be disqualified from standing in the way of giving this long suffering honor killing victim a proper burial? Can I sue to install the headstone, over perhaps, the objection of a family that all engaged in her murder? Aqsa couldn't catch a break in lfe, must she continue to struggle against the misogyny of Islam in death too?

Any Canadian legal help would be enormously appreciated.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL LOSES IT

I had to rub my eyes when I saw this anti-semitic screed running in the Wall Street Journal. This is the excrement that runs in The Nation. The writer, George Bisharat, is a professor at Hastings College of the Law in San Francisco. San Fran, commie capital of the leftist/Islamic alliance and a professor - now that's rich. But the Journal? What next, at home with Osama?

Money quotes - kicks off, first sentence:

Israel's current assault on the Gaza Strip cannot be justified by self-defense.

Jews are not entitled to defend their homeland?

However, an armed attack involves serious violations of the peace

And thousands of rockets fired at civilians doesn't fall under that?

"Either one or no Israelis were killed (reports differ) by rockets in the half year leading up to the current attack."

Either one dead Jew or none. What's the dif? And frankly, a whole boatload of Jews were murdered, so the rocket attacks ...... don't count.

Deliberate attacks on civilians that lack strict military necessity are war crimes.

What is mildly amusing here is the pish Bisharat is making this argument against Israel, when in point of fact Israel has gone to extraordinary lengths to avoid killing "innocent civilians" - whereas Hamas is guilty of just the opposite.

I am not going to devote any more of my civilized time addressing the savage's argument. This pig vomit does not belong in The Wall Street Journal. It gives the nazis the imprimatur of legitimacy.

ISLAMIC FASHION ALERT! NO JEANS!

Oh my ...what are all those smelly old leftard hippies and Hollyweird fashionistas going to wear? Aug sent this along, "You know that pair of tight jeans that make your butt look fantastic? Fuggedubbouddit"

Deccan Herald - 'Wearing jeans un-Islamic'*

After terming love as “un-Islamic”, the Darul Uloom Islamic seminary in Deoband has said that Muslilms wearing jeans is a gunah (sin).

The seminary recently issued a fatwa (religious decree) against the wearing of jeans and transplanting and dyeing of hair in black.
These fatwas have been issued in response to three different queries, according to the Darul Uloom's Darul Ifta (department of fatwa). In response to a query on wearing of jeans by women, especially in cold countries in Western Europe, the seminary has made it clear that “jeans pants and shirts are against the shariat (Islamic rules)”. “The physical structure (curves) of the body is reflected if one puts on a jeans. Wearing them by a woman is a sin”, the fatwa said adding that it should not be put on by the menfolk also. “It is barred for men as well. Women, who want to look as men, are cursed”, the fatwa went on to say.

No hair dye for men? ....What will those pussy boys in NY and LA do?

On a query on dyeing one’s hair in black, the fatwa said that any other colour other than black is permissible. “Use of black hair dye is un-Islamic”, it said.
On another query pertaining to hair transplant, the Darul Uloom said transplanting artificial hair amounted to “cheating” and is therefore is “illegal”. The clerics say that Islam very clearly separates what is right and what is wrong. “He, who does even after knowing that it is wrong, is the sinner”, said a senior cleric. “Fatwas should only issued on religious matters and not social issues”, said Maulana Yasoob Abbas, the spokesman of the All India Shia Personal Law Board. All India Muslim Women Personal Law Board chairperson Shaista Amber also echoed similar sentiments. “The clerics should confine themselves only to religious matters”, she told Deccan Herald.

BABY DOLLIE TALKING DAWAH STILL ON SHELVES: ISLAM IS THE ....

I reported earlier  this week that Wal- Mart had taken the Mattel doll spouting Islamic propaganda off the shelves.
Well, maybe not. See below.  This is not the first email I have received from Atlas readers who report that on their visit to Wal-Mart, the doll was there chanting the Islamic mantra, "Islam is the light".

Readers, when you see this doll, complain to store management! This just in from reader Atlas reader Susan, it has an interesting twist:

I went to my local Wal-Mart today and saw AND heard the doll say "Islam is the Light" as clear as day--another shopper stopped too.  I checked the other dolls on the shelf (white ones) and they didn't seem to have the same vocals.  The doll that did was a dark-skinned, but not African-American doll.  (I have the SKU number as well).  I was floored, especially because they said they were pulling them.  I live in Cheser County PA (Exton, PA Wal-Mart).  Thought I'd pass on.

SKU 2708456915 -- this is the doll.

Here is the link for the one that she saw. They have rotating sounds/coos on the chip, not just one sound.  There is, btw,  an African-American version of Baby dawah and this is not it. Can you imagine coming home, a working mom, from a hard day's work, and hearing your sweet little tyke looking up at you and parroting, "Islam is the light!"?

Here are the previous links -- this is an ongoing story:

INFILTRATION: MUSLIM ELLISON HAJ TRIP FINANCED BY THE JIHAD

I thought it an outrage when CONGRESSMAN ELLISON AT THE HAJ, URGED MUSLIMS TO FILL "8,000 jobs that are available Obama administration"- now we find the plot thickens. Robert Spencer over at Jihadwatch is reporting

Muslim Congressman's Hajj paid for by Muslim Brotherhood front group

The Muslim Brotherhood "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." -- "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991.

What does that have to do with Congressman Ellison? Everything. The Muslim American Society paid for his Hajj. And what is the Muslim American Society? The Muslim Brotherhood.

"In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation's major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members." -- Chicago Tribune, 2004.

Imagine if a conservative Congressman had taken a trip that had been paid for by a Christian group that was, according to one of its own documents, dedicated to "eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house" so that Christian law would replace the U.S. Constitution. I expect we would hear more of an outcry than we are hearing about this.

BOYCOTT MATTEL'S BABY DOLL TALKING DAWAH: "ISLAM IS THE LIGHT"

Parents complain to U.S. Agencies About Mattel “Islam is the Light” Doll 12/02/08

December 16, 2008 - Washington, DC:  Wal-Mart managers are removing the Mattel doll that says "Islam is the Light" from store shelves, according to reports from parents and the media across the U.S. and Canada, as well as Wal-Mart employees.   Many Wal-Mart managers have removed the controversial doll in the last two weeks, and others are removing it as soon as parents ask.

The Moms Ask Mattel for Accountability (MAMA) campaign to remove the doll began in late November on "Black" Friday, the year's biggest shopping day.  The national MAMA campaign started as a response to parent concerns about the Mattel/Fisher Price "Little Mommy Real Loving Baby Cuddle and Coo Doll."  The majority of "Little Mommy Cuddle and Coo" dolls on store shelves have an audio soundtrack that says "Islam is the Light,"  with no label or warning to parents on the doll's packaging that it advocates Islam to their young children, a practice known as "Dawa." MAMA has advised parents in the U.S. and Canada to ask retailers either to remove the doll from the shelves or to attach a label stating "NOTICE: This doll says "Islam is the light," an invitation to your child to join Islam."  MAMA is concerned that an invitation to Islam is a material risk to young girls, because of the discriminatory Islamic law known as Shariah, and wants parents informed about the doll's statement before they purchase the doll.

"Parents are reporting that most Wal-Marts have already removed the doll, or immediately remove it when asked," said Denise Lee, founder of Moms Ask Mattel for Accountability.  "And TV and newspaper stories are reporting the same policy changes.   MAMA applauds Wal-Mart for taking the lead here in responding to parents' concerns, especially over the Christmas season."

Wal-Mart staff at the Wal-Mart customer "Urgent Assistance" complaint phones were helpful and frank about customer complaints about the "Islam is the Light" doll.  Lee spoke with Wal-Mart "Urgent Assistance" employee Ben Werkheiser, who said  "We have received quite a few complaints from customers." Werkheiser stated that removal of the dolls is "more or less left up to individual stores' decisions," and when asked if the dolls had been removed from most Wal-Mart stores answered  "Yes, they've pulled them because people complained about it. We are mainly responding to customers' complaints. The dolls in most of our Wal-Marts have been pulled."   Fellow Wal-Mart employee Maria McDonald stated "We have had many complaints with the doll...the calls we are getting are from customers. I personally have received a lot of calls from customers."

Wal-Mart employee Werkheiser offered advice to customers: "Contact store managers and let them know what's going on. Have them listen to the doll.  Customers can call the home office, 1-800-WALMART."  Although the Wal-Mart corporate office declined our request to provide an official policy statement,  MAMA spokesperson Lee said: "The facts speak for themselves - Wal-Mart is saying YES! to parent requests for removal of the "Islam is the light" doll from the shelves."

A TALE OF TWO TOY STORES....

On the other hand, MAMA's requests to Target to remove the doll - or attach a label stating that it says "Islam is the Light" - met with a NO!

Amy Reilly of Target's Media Relations office called Lee and directed parents "To talk to Mattel if you have any issues with the doll." Reilly carefully stated, "We have not had a national recall on those dolls."  When told of parents concerns about the doll Reilly stated, "The doll is a well selling doll." She said, for anything else "I would continue to try reaching Mattel."

"The difference is clear between two responses to parents' concerns," said Lee.  "Wal-Mart is trying to help parents, and leaves the decision up to their managers.  It appears from all the Target cases that parents have sent us (see "Cases" at www.labelthatdoll.com ), that Target refuses to take action in response to consumer complaints, and local Target store managers aren't permitted to respond to their local community. "

"The question is what will Target, Wal-Mart and other retailers do on December 26, when all those parents who bought that 'well selling' doll  try to return it because it says 'Islam is the light' ?" Lee said.

Lee noted that individual Kmarts have also been reported in the media as removing the dolls, but no nationwide policy has been released.

If we consider the Islamic texts, their content and the devotion that so many Muslims - including in America - attach to them; if we consider the tragic upshot of these teachings in terms of our current world’s security, is it not a duty for each one of us to view Islam not frivolously but in a most serious manner?

There was an episode during the current Presidential election that greatly disturbed me. It was former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s interview on “Meet the Press.” For me this interview was a defining moment. He expressed his displeasure at some of his colleagues’ accusations that Obama might be a Muslim, and stated: “And what if he is? Is there something wrong with being a Muslim?”

…If Powell doesn’t understand what may be the dire consequences for being a Muslim, then who should understand? The man, who once held the post of American Secretary of State, asserts categorically that there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, even though the country he led has been suffering immensely from Muslim terrorism and has paid a high price because of it.

I appreciate that Powell, who has been nurtured by the American moral code, refuses to judge people on the basis of their religious affiliation. That is his right. But he does not have the right to nonchalantly disregard people’s apprehensions of Muslims, especially at those of us who have lived in Muslim countries. We have risked our lives to escape from them, and are now risking our lives again to speak up against the harm they cause, induced by Islamic theology and culture. In order to understand my perspective one would have to be a woman, living in Syria, my birthplace, or any other Arab Muslim country.

…[As for Mr. Powell], does he understand that Islam is not just a religion but a political doctrine that seeks to impose itself on non-Muslims even by force? If he does, why should people not be doubtful?

This is not an Islamophobic prejudice I present. Muslims, like any other national group, can be either good or bad, and the best among them do not act in accordance with Islam’s political ideology, either because they are not familiar with it, or because they have deliberately progressed beyond it. But how are we to scrutinize the good from the bad when a high level political official like Mr. Powell undermines the questioning of any concerns related to this issue?

Certainly, Mr. Powell knows that Muhammad, the Prophet of Islam, is most revered among Muslims. Does Mr. Powell realize that it is incumbent upon every devout Muslim male to emulate Muhammed’s ways? If so, has Mr. Powell studied the life of Muhammad as it is recounted in the original Arabic sources, as I learned it in my schooldays?

…Did Mr. Powell ever contemplate that what he heard from countless Muslims he met throughout his career was not necessarily what they truly meant? I always considered Mr. Powell one of the giants of American politics. To me he was as majestic as the American eagle. But in that moment, sadly, I saw the eagle topple from its lofty peak and tumble down in front of me like a little sparrow; and with it tumbled many of my convictions.

After the events of September 11th, I watched a press conference with an American general whose name I can no longer recall. In the course of the conference, he shared that he had read the Koran twice. One of the reporters asked him, “What conclusion did you reach after you had read it?” He bowed his head for a moment before replying, “We have to defend ourselves.”

It is clear to me and many others who have lived in Islamic countries that a military man - a general - understood our perilous situation better than Mr. Powell - a politician - who held a high level government position. Had Mr. Powell done any thorough research into the study of Islam, as the general did, he may also have come to the conclusion that his question, “What’s wrong with being a Muslim?” was indeed unwarranted. 

CONGRESSMAN ELLISON AT THE HAJ, URGES MUSLIMS TO FILL "8,000 jobs that are available Obama administration"

The blogosphere warned American about this plant. The Congressman from Minnesota, who took his oath on the Quran,  went to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to attend the annual stampede of millions of Muslims from around the world.

GREETINGS FROM THE HAJ: "DEATH TO AMERICA" "DEATH TO ISRAEL"

U.S. Congressman Ellison attends hajj where Saudi cleric urges sharia Creeping Sharia blog hat tip trk

A U.S. congressman named Keith Ellison from Minnesota went to Mecca in Saudi Arabia to attend the annual stampede of millions of Muslims from around the world. At the hajj, on Mount Arafat, a Grand Mufti’s annual sermon placed blamed for the worlds economic crisis and recommended a solution (hint: sharia):

Saudi Arabia’s top cleric has used his annual sermon to Muslim pilgrims assembling for hajj to urge Muslim countries to renounce capitalism and form an Islamic economic bloc that adopts interest-free finance.

Grand Mufti Abdelaziz Al al-Sheikh told worshippers assembling on the plain of Mount Arafat that global economies now caught in crisis were suffering the result of using interest as a bedrock of their financial systems. Under Islamic law, or sharia, paying or receiving interest is forbidden.

This begs many questions including clarification of whether Democratic Congressman Keith Ellison was on vacation or were U.S. taxpayers subsidizing his travel to the Islamic pilgrimage? More importantly, will Ellison follow the demands of the Grand Mufti and begin to renounce capitalism in favor of sharia law? Ellison’s comment on his Islamic trek to hajj:

As Keith Ellison, the first Muslim member of the US Congress who performed Haj this week, told CNN, you forget who you are –- black or white and American or African — and where you come from when you are before God circling the Kaaba in a two-piece unstitched garment.

That sounds like a hint. Did he forget he was American when Mufti was calling for the replacement of capitalism with sharia? Let’s hope he remembers he is an American when he returns and starts working for all those he represents not just Muslims. In what might be another hint, Keith Ellison is ecstatic about the Barack Obama election victory and recently urged Muslims to infiltrate fill some of the 8,000 jobs available in the bloated, overstaffed Obama ‘administration (attending yet another Muslim event, this one sponsored by unindicted co-conspirator in a federal terror-funding case - CAIR - and convictions of various of its former officials on jihad terror-related charges):

Ellison said qualified American Muslims should apply for some of the 8,000 jobs he said are available now in the incoming Obama administration. He says that today - with a new U.S. president sporting “Hussein” as his middle name - there is no excuse for shying away from work because of an accent or a foreign name.

How many of those jobs will be filled with Muslims, who like Keith Ellison, went to Mecca and heeded the words of the Grand Mufti to replace capitalism with sharia? Time will tell but it sure sounds like Keith Ellison truly has forgotten that he is an American.

THE ECONOMIST: SUBMIT TO EURABIA

The Economist takes a stab at solving the global jihad with good old fashioned submission:"When town halls turn to Mecca - For many European municipalities and a few American ones (see article) accommodating Islam is a big dilemma—but not an insoluble one."  YIKES! The answer? Creeping sharia is good! Submit on a local level and throw the counter jihad movement under the bus. Yeah, that'll work.

I loved Jerry Gordon's comment:

The Iconoclast

The current edition of The Economist  has an article on compromise with local Islamic groups throughout major cities in Europe  What is most disturbing is the patent castigation of Vlaams Belang, the nationalist party in Belgium vis a vis its positions in Flanders in opposition to Muslim demands. There are denigrating comments regarding last year's anti-Jihad conference in Brussels.  Then there are the local attempts in Belgium to maintain communal abattoirs to replace the home slaughter of sheep for the upcoming Islamic "holiday" of Eid al-Adha .

The other impression is that major Dutch cities, especially Rotterdam, home of the late assassinated Pym Fortune, with a sizable Muslim minority, has compromised on his legacy. A Muslim Mayor is about to take over the municipality in January, 2009. There are other examples like Duisburg, Germany with publicly funded local Mosque building for the predominately Turkish émigré Muslim communities in the Ruhr coal and steel belt. In Lyon, France there is the compromise over halal foods offered by the municipal school system-they offer the alternative of vegetarian fare so as not to 'compromise' traditional secular values.

Over  in Londonistan, you have the Muslim "no go" areas railed against by Pakistani born Bishop of Rochester, the Right Reverend Michael Nazir-Ali.  Then you have U,K. municipal cemeteries positioning grave sites towards Mecca. Then you have sex segregated swimming in municipal pools. All this reads like capitulation to Sharia in Eurabia. To cap things off The Economist has an insert story on the largest Muslim cities in America, Hamtramck and Dearborn, Michigan. The former was once the "Polish capital of America"-not any more.  There are over 350,000 Muslims in the Detroit area, dominating public charter schools with Islamic practices, all funded by the taxpayers. Shades of charter schools in Minneapolis, Minnesota and Columbus, Ohio.  The Economist piece amounts to a series of tropes on unending compromise of Western values at the municipal level throughout Europe and even in major concentrated Muslim areas here in America and likely Canada, as well.

SHARIA FINANCE IN THE CLASSROOM

UPDATE: Top Saudi cleric cites crisis to press for sharia finance (hat tip journalist)

Toto, we ain't in Kansas anymore From Atlas reader and student HC:

Sharia enters the classroom.

FYI - Here's a course announcement from the MIT Sloan School of Management

Title
Spec Sem in Mgmt: Practice of Finance: Islamic Finance

Islamic financial institutions have in recent years experienced spectacular growth (+25% in 2006, +37% in 2007). Islamic financial assets now exceed 1 trillion dollars and what was once a small niche has gone mainstream. Indeed, most major Western financial institutions are involved in one way or another in Islamic finance. The first part of the course introduces the basic principles underlying the industry (the prohibitions of riba, gharar, etc.) and discusses its recent evolution. The second part focuses on the main Islamic products: murabaha, mudaraba, musharaka, ijara, sukuk, takaful, etc. and explains how Islamic deals are structured. The third part discusses the challenges - competitive, regulatory, political, religious, etc. - faced by Islamic institutions and considers the impact of the current financial meltdown on their future evolution.

MATTEL COVER-UP; SCRUBBING DAWAH DOLLIE, "ISLAM IS THE LIGHT"

Smelly. Very smelly. Mattel is guilty as sin, and if not why scrub their site. NO MATTEL TOYS FOR MY AMERICA LOVING KIDS THIS HOLIDAY SEASON.

COVERUP! MATTEL'S ISLAMIC SKULDUGGERY: SWITCHING THE AUDIO

BOYCOTT MATTEL'S BABY DOLL TALKING DAWAH: "ISLAM IS THE LIGHT"

Parents complain to U.S. Agencies About Mattel “Islam is the Light” Doll 12/02/08

The latest from the MAMA website:

COVERUP OR RETREAT?
Mattel Inc. Pulls ALL Statements About Doll from website…

December 7, 2008 - Washington, DC:   In what may be a cover-up or a retreat, Mattel Inc. has removed from their corporate “Investors and Media” website ALL statements about the controversial “Little Mommy” doll.  Parents nationwide have complained for months to Mattel that the doll says “Islam is the Light” without any notification label for consumers that the doll is advocating Islam.  Between October 13 and December 4 - for FIFTY-TWO DAYS - Mattel had prominently posted, as the feature story at their corporate website Investors page,  a media advisory statement that the doll only makes “cooing” sounds, and an audio file they alleged was the doll’s soundtrack.

BREAKING: Denise Lee from MAMA will discuss the Mattel Inc. controversy TODAY, MONDAY DECEMBER 8 on the Tammy Bruce show, 1:30 p.m. EST - listen live on the internet at http://www.talkradionetwork.com/tammylive#play

MATTEL’S DISAPPEARING ACT

On December 2, MAMA posted our November 28 formal complaint letters to the Federal Trade Commission and the Securities and Exchange Commission, written on behalf of America’s parents.  That same day we launched our campaign to ask retailers to pull the doll off their shelves - or label it to inform consumers about the “Islam is the Light” soundtrack.  Just THREE DAYS LATER, on December 5, EVERY DOCUMENT  posted by Mattel on their website about the “Little Mommy Cuddle & Coo Doll” had been removed.

WITHOUT A TRACE…

Even more disturbing, given the serious issues raised in MAMA’s formal complaint letters to the FTC and SEC, Mattel has also removed previous statements about the doll from the Mattel press release archives.  The controversial “Islam is the Light” Media Advisory had been THE FEATURE PRESS STORY for Mattel’s Investors and Media corporate website - for the previous FIFTY-TWO DAYS.  And then it disappeared - WITHOUT A TRACE.

MAMA also alerted the SEC and the public about a significant difference in appearance of the waveform of the posted Mattel audio file, and the waveform of an audio file recorded from an actual doll.  THAT AUDIO FILE HAS ALSO BEEN REMOVED FROM THE MATTEL SITE- WITHOUT A TRACE.

MAMA KEEPS MATTEL ACCOUNTABLE.

Luckily for parents and media, MAMA kept a screenshot of the October 13 Mattel media advisory Investors page (below), as well as a copy of the Mattel Media Statement and the Mattel audio file:

MOST PARENTS SAY THEY HEAR DOLL SAY “ISLAM IS THE LIGHT” -   ABC-TV AND CBS-TV COVERAGE

Since the December 2 campaign launch by parents to remove or label the doll, we have received dozens of email queries and volunteer offers to visit stores, from across America and even Canada.  TV and talkradio  news stories have kept the controversy before the public, as more parents do their Christmas shopping, hear the doll at the stores, and contact their local media to express their concern and anger at Mattel.

ABC-TV SAYS 75% VOTE YES - DOLL IS SAYING “ISLAM IS THE LIGHT”

ABC-News Channel 6 (WJBF-TV) poll, shown here as of December 7 , SHOWED OVER 75% OF PARENTS SAY THE DOLL IS SAYING “ISLAM IS THE LIGHT.”  The ABC News poll asked “You Decide: Does Little Mommy Doll really say Islam is the Light?”

OBAMA BOWS, Will Make Major "Foreign Policy Speech from an Islamic capital"

Egyptian Cleric Hassan Abu Al-Ashbal Calls on President-Elect Obama to Convert to Islam, Threatens: We Have People Who Are Eager For Death

I guess B. Hussein got the memo.

This will be the  first of many speeches President B. Hussein will make in these, his spiritual capitals where he wishes to express "solidarity". America has no clue who she voted for. Gird your loins folks. America will be unrecognizable after Hussein's first and last term (if we live through it).

Looking for the Ideal Spot to Make a Speech NY Times (hat tip rut)

WASHINGTON — President-elect Barack Obama’s aides say he is considering making a major foreign policy speech from an Islamic capital during his first 100 days in office.

So where should he do it? The list of Islamic world capitals is long, and includes the obvious —Riyadh, Kuwait City, Islamabad — and the not-so-obvious — Male (the Maldives), Ouagadougou (Burkina Faso), Tashkent (Uzbekistan). Some wise-guys have even suggested Dearborn, Mich., as a possibility.

Clearly it would be cheating for Mr. Obama to fly to Detroit, talk to Dearborn’s 30,000 Arab residents and call it a day. And Male and Ouagadougou, while certainly majority Muslim, can’t really be what Mr. Obama’s aides have in mind when they talk about locales for a high-profile speech that would seek to mend rifts between the United States and the broader Muslim world.

The consensus, after an entire day of reporting, is Cairo.

Why Cairo? It’s a matter of elimination. I called Ziad Asali, the president of the American Task Force on Palestine, to gauge his thoughts. “Damascus would be cool, except it would look as if he was rewarding the Syrians and it’s too soon for that,” Mr. Asali said.

True. Maybe in a year, if Syrian President Bashar al-Assad gets around to a land-for-[Jewish genocide] deal with Israel. But for right now, I’m not really seeing Damascus as the spot for the big speech.

This is not Iowahwak. Not Scrappleface. This is not satire.

What about Ramallah, I asked Mr. Asali, thinking it would show solidarity with the Palestinians.

Solidarity with the jihad?

“I would object to that on so many levels,” he shot back, irate. “Are you forgetting that Palestinians seek Jerusalem as their capital?”

Right. And giving the speech in Jerusalem would just open up a Pandora’s box full of problems. So that’s not happening.

My colleague, David Sanger, heard me talking about it and came over to my desk. “I think he’s going to pick Jakarta,” he said. “It would be a big homecoming-type trip.”

Read it all. And Israel should be nervous. Very nervous

UN-indicted Muslim Brotherhood Co-Conspirator CAIR DAY!

CAIR day? What's next? Hezbo day? Hamas Fair? Osama celebration?  This is the age of the dhimmi. Terror day? Pathetic.

CAIR DAY - SIGN THIS PETITION

We call on you to rescind the Proclamation you signed declaring November 15, 2008 "COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS (CAIR) DAY." By signing the document, you ignored a number of troubling facts regarding CAIR.

* CAIR was founded in 1994 by operatives from the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP), which at the time was the American propaganda wing of Hamas, producing terror training videos for Hamas and publishing the Hamas charter in different languages.

* CAIR was created as being a part of the American Palestine Committee, which at the time was led by the global head of Hamas, Mousa Abu Marzook.

* CAIR has had a number of representatives involved in terrorism, who were convicted and/or deported for various criminal activities.

* CAIR is currently named by the U.S. Justice Department as a co-conspirator for a federal trial dealing with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas.

* CAIR-Florida representative Jawhar Sadallah Badran was recently caught on video stating his support for Hamas. CAIR's National Executive Director once did the same.

Keep in mind, Hamas is on the U.S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTOs). And while it is not illegal to verbalize one’s support for Hamas, it is immoral and offensive to do so, and it is as well immoral to legitimize any individual or group who does so.

We understand that you have signed this Proclamation for "CAIR Day" every year for at least the past four years. We ask that you take the opportunity to end this trend immediately by withdrawing this most recent Proclamation. To ignore this would be to ignore the worst of hatred and extremism.

We urge you to rescind the Proclamation immediately.

Sincerely,

FOX CAVES TO OBAMA CORRECTNESS: CANS E.D. HILL

Remember back in June  when E.D. Hill did ran down the Obama terror pound and FOX caved? Here's the original post:POLITICALLY CORRECT FOX NEWS FIRES E.D.HILL June 12, 2008

Well it's official, FOX canned E.D. Hill. Cowards all.

E.D. Hill To Leave Fox News Channel (hat tip Sherry)

Exclusive: TVNewser has learned veteran Fox News Channel anchor E.D. Hill will not be renewed when her current contract expires. Hill, who has been with Fox News for more than 10 years, will continue with the network for the next few months until her current deal expires.

SVP of Programming Bill Shine tells TVNewser that he "chose not to renew E.D.'s latest contract" but noted that "Hill has been a valued contributor to the success of FNC over the years, and we wish her all the best."

Hill has been without a regular Fox News program since June 16, when America's Pulse was replaced by two hours of Live Desk. Ten days earlier Hill used the term terrorist fist jab when promoting an upcoming body language segment that was going to look into the primary night fist bump shared by Barack and Michelle Obama.

For most of her nearly 11 years at FNC Hill anchored Fox & Friends. In 2006 she moved to a late morning program then to the afternoons where, in the months leading up to the election, she'd been filling in on America's Election HQ.

Sherry adds, do you suppose the hundreds of reporters who repeated things people said about Palin failed to get renewed contracts?

THE STEALTH JIHAD

As we wend our way through modern history and the march to the great global war, once again we find Robert Spencer waiting for us to catch up.*sigh*

Spencer's speech at Restoration Weekend warning (and proving) the advancement of Islamic supremecism infecting every political, social, academic, and economic aspect of American life.

With the election of the stealth candidate, Robert Spencer releases his bombshell on the quiet coup: Stealth Jihad: How Radical Islam is Subverting America without Guns or Bombs. Buy the book!

Islamic experts in the Pentagon -- fired at the insistence of high-ranking Muslim officials for refusing to sugarcoat the truth about Islamic jihad. The ACLU allying with Muslim groups to make war on public celebrations of Christmas. Presidential candidates advised by Muslims who tell them to soft-pedal anti-terror efforts. American citizens sued for reporting suspicious behavior by Muslims in airports. Accommodation of Muslim religious practices in public places, at taxpayer expense. Muslim cab drivers refusing to carry passengers with alcohol, and Muslim checkout clerks refusing to handle pork products -- and even Bibles (they’re “unclean”). Islamic charities funding violent jihad -- abetted by non-Muslim politicians anxious to court Muslim constituencies. Islamic advocacy groups silencing all those who dare speak about these issues -- with the willing complicity of a clueless leftist mainstream media.

It’s all part of the stealth jihad: initiatives to advance the jihadist agenda not by means of guns and bombs, but through a series of initiatives designed to acclimate Americans to downplaying anti-terror initiatives, accommodating Muslim practices, and making special exceptions for Islamic law -- while being cowed by cries of “bigotry” into dropping all resistance to these phenomena. The result? An America completely subjugated under Islamic law -- just the way Osama bin Laden wants it.

Check out Spencer's acknowledgments...... you gotta love this guy:

MINN. MUSLIMS WIN $365,000 FOR WORK PLACE PRAY

This is terrible. Another win for Islamic supremacy. I side with business. Period. Praying workers - gotta go. Apparently now.

Chicken processor Gold’n Plump has been forced to pony-up a settlement in a Somali worker prayer case in Minnesota.  Accomodation of Muslim demands in the workplace continue aided by the folks at the EEOC and its subsidiary, CAIR.  Hat tip:  Janet.   From the Minneapolis Star Tribune:

Somalis win settlement in chicken plant discrimination case Refugee Resettlement Watch

As many as 100 Somali Muslims who are current and former workers at Gold’n Plump Inc. will receive a total of $365,000 in a settlement of federal lawsuits alleging religious discrimination at the company’s chicken processing plants in Cold Spring, Minn., and Arcadia, Wis.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) alleged in a lawsuit filed in September that St. Cloud-based Gold’n Plump violated federal law by terminating Somali workers who prayed during their work shifts. The EEOC alleged in a separate lawsuit that the Work Connection Inc., an employment agency in St. Paul, required applicants for jobs at Gold’n Plump to sign forms acknowledging that they might be required to handle pork.

Many Muslims consider pigs to be unclean and believe the Qur’an prohibits them from handling pork products.

Expect a big, fat lawsuit from these agitating Muslims against Swift & co.  shortly:
MUSLIM PROTESTS EXPAND, HUNDREDS MORE TAKE TO THE STREET 9/17/07
IT RAMADAN, UNDREDS OF MUSLIMS WALK OFF THEIR JOBS 9/16/08
SWIFT FIRES THE VIOLENT SOMALIS OVER RAMADAN VIOLENCE
Somalis violent protest against Swift, media violence coverup

Islamic Supremacism at Six Flags Magic Mountain

More push push push. When will the folks get fed up and push back? Put your foot down! This is America, land of the free home of the infidel!

Six Flags asks workers not to wear shorts on Muslim Day hat tip rut

It's Muslim Day at Six Flags Magic Mountain on Saturday and Santa Clarita resident A.J. Jones is curious to know if the park hosted other religious events in the past.

This is Magic Mountain's first year hosting Muslim Family day. It is far from its first time hosting a religious event, said park spokeswoman Sue Carpenter.

"I think it's great as long as they open it up to everyone," said Jones, whose friend works at the park.

Jones is concerned the park's supervisors asked the employees to wear pants Saturday to cover their legs despite the unusually high heat. "I think its kind of strange," Jones said. "It's been so hot for pants."

[...]

All those who attend will take part in what the group claims is "The largest American Muslim event."
