NYC Mosque Forcing Muslim Call to Prayer on Neighborhood

More Islamic supremacism. Now they want to impose the cacophonous call to prayer on an NY community. What about non-Muslims in the neighborhood? What about those who find that wailing a form of torture? What about noise laws? Imagine if you had to be subjected to this torture five times a day.

NYC  Bronx Mosque Forcing Call to Prayer on Neighborhood (video)

Imposing sharia on the infidels, wherever they might be, which is increasingly all across the United States of America. (Creeping sharia)

More on the backstory below the fold in, Call to prayer protest:

Imagine sunrise behind a minaret. Imagine a bearded imam. Listen for his thunderous call to worship. Not in Baghdad or Tehran or Islamabad. In the Bronx.

Neighbors of dissimilar backgrounds clashed at a Community Board 9 public hearing on Tuesday, October 20. Members of the Parkchester Jame Masjid (mosque) on Virginia Avenue near Parkchester want to use electronic amplification to perform “adhan,” the Muslim call to prayer. The mosque would be the first in the Bronx to do so and has asked the police department for a sound permit. Some neighbors oppose the plan.

The Bronx was home to 2,442 Bangladeshi Americans in 2000, a 320 percent increase from 1990. There are even more Bangladeshi Americans in the Bronx today. Most reside in Parkchester, Soundview and Castle Hill. Community District 9 is 34 percent African American and 55 percent Hispanic American.

“I have no problem with them,” nieghbor Ruben Rios, 75, asserted. “But I hear their parties. People think Puerto Ricans play loud music. The [Muslims’] music is louder.”

Lamb and Rios, whose house is one block from the mosque, don’t oppose adhan altogether, only adhan four times a day. Muslims pray five times a day but Uddin has agreed not to amplify the early morning adhan. The mosque has prospered without amplified adhan thus far, Lamb said. Why push the issue?

Palma suggested that the Parkchester Jame Masjid consult a mosque in Manhattan that performs amplified adhan only on Fridays. The councilwoman and CB9 district manager Francisco Gonzalez are determined to stay neutral. Gonzalez posted fliers for the October 20 hearing in the neighborhood and has fielded more than 100 phone calls on the issue; he wants all opinions heard. Shahid is optimistic the mosque will get its amp.

Mosqueing Capitol Hill: Conquering Congress

First, let me say that the enormous Muslim Brotherhood ISNA convention being held this July 4th weekend is insulting and offensive to me as an American. It is no accident that ISNA, the Muslim Brotherhood,  schedules its supremacist conference on the birthday of our nation. ISNA’s annual convention, over July 4th, is a who’s who of Islamists and jihad supporters, to which 35,000 are expected -- not to celebrate America's Independence day.

Islam is a complete system. Islam has religious, legal, political, economic and military components. The religious component  provides cover for all the other components.

The increasing islamization of Congress and the Capitol is treasonous and subversive. What was 911  anyway? The attack and surrender of America? Everything that drove those jihadists to turn those planes into missiles and bomb their targets should be fought, defeated, outlawed.

Instead we have this conquering of Congress:

Back in December, I wrote that the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association (CMSA) is

a chartered organization within the United States House of Representatives, established in 2006. CMSA is a non-dues paying membership association open to any Congressional employee who defines his- or herself as “Muslim”, regardless of their race, gender, school of thought, personal level of “religiosity”, and country of origin. Members can be employees of any office, committee, or department within the House of Representatives, Senate, Library of Congress, Congressional Budget Office, Congressional Research Service, and the Capitol Hill Police Department. Any Muslim Congressional employee is considered a CMSA member regardless of their level of participation or the degree that they publicly identify themselves as “Muslim”.

And how do they achieve their objectives? According to their site:

To achieve its objectives, CMSA conducts the following four types of programs:

• Political / Public Policy:

For the primary benefit of Congressional Members and staffers, CMSA conducts briefings and issue forums on legislative and political issues that concern the Muslim American community and Muslim world. Muslim and non-Muslim scholars, community leaders, and media analysts participate on panels to provide insightful and multiple points of views on various topics. Examples: o Congressional briefing on the Gaza Humanitarian Crisis o Congressional briefing on the media’s use of “Islamophobic Language”.

Do not defame Islam.

• Religious / Cultural:

CMSA produces religious and cultural programming that increases Congressional members, staffers and community members awareness of Muslim beliefs, traditions, historical narratives, and contributions to American culture. Examples: o Weekly “Capitol Hill Jummah Prayer Service” o Annual Congressional Ramadan Iftar Reception o African American Muslim History Month Exhibit (February) o Muslim American Women Leadership Symposium (March).

Mosqueing the Capitol. Where do you think this going?

Capital Hill Becomes a Mosque Creeping Sharia

A new website for the Congressional Muslim Staffers Association details the room and time for Islamic prayers on Capitol Hill:

As we previously noted Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison stating here:

“…Muslim staffers on the hill meet for jummah prayers in a room under the dome of the Capitol…”

The group’s website also states the following:

For the primary benefit of Congressional Members and staffers, CMSA conducts briefings and issue forums on legislative and political issues that concern the Muslim American community and Muslim world…

CMSA produces religious and cultural programming that increases Congressional members, staffers and community members awareness of Muslim beliefs, traditions, historical narratives, and contributions to American culture…

Examples:

Congressional briefing on the Gaza Humanitarian Crisis
Congressional briefing on the media’s use of “Islamophobic Language”
Weekly “Capitol Hill Jummah Prayer Service”
Annual Congressional Ramadan Iftar Reception
State Department Briefing on U.S. Public Diplomacy in the Muslim World
USAID Briefing on development programs in the Muslim World
Homeland.  Security Department Briefing on Muslim American Civil Rights Issues
“All DC-Area Muslim Summer Interns” Capitol Hill Reception
Resume collection for “Muslim American Congressional Resume Book”
Participation on panels at various symposium hosted by DHS, CAIR, MANA, etc.

Two of the groups mentioned were founded by or are unindicted co-conspirators to terrorist activities. CAIR – the unindicted co-conspirator to the Holy Land Hamas-funding case (of which defendants were found guilty); and MANA – founded by Siraj Wahhaj – an unindicted co-conspirator to the first World Trade Center bombing who sells audio recordings of his speeches preaching jihad.

The founder of the Muslim Congressional Staffers – Jameel-Aalim Johnson, former chief of staff to Rep. Gregory Meeks (D-NY) – has been involved in inviting terror-linked individuals to speak on Capitol Hill in the past:

Why is a powerful congressman trying to pave the way for terror-linked speakers to appear on Capitol Hill?

The event, originally scheduled for August 11, would have taken place in the Cannon House Building Caucus Room had it not been for the last minute discovery of the terror-linked speakers that the DC-based Peace and Justice Foundation had invited to participate.

According to an article in The Muslim Link, the scheduling of the August conference had been handled by the chief-of-staff for Congressman Gregory Meeks (D-NY6), Jameel Alim Johnson.

Indiana: Congressional candidate smeared for opposing jihad & sharia

Posted on July 3, 2010 by creeping

More of the illogical ‘opposing “Muslim extremism” is anti-Muslim bigotry’ agenda, pushed heavily by WISH-TV ‘reporter’ Jim Shella.

(WISH) – Supporters of Democratic 7th District Congressman André Carson today accused his Republican opponent, Marvin Scott, of using anti-Muslim bigotry in his campaign.

The charges are similar to charges made more than a month ago, but they are also different because Scott can no longer attribute the anti-Muslim messages to supporters outside his campaign organization.

The new charges deal with a new website from the Scott campaign, drmarvinscottforcongress.com . It went online Monday.

The website lists the principles on which Marvin Scott bases his campaign; number 8 is “Fight Muslim extremism and protect freedom of religion.” Click on it and you will find an image from 9/11 and ten reasons why radical Islam is a threat.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

No date has been set for the board to vote.

Fighting Moe Hood in the Hood

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

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

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

Part of the general view of the protest.

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

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

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

Much more coverage here.

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

FIGHT BACK.

For Muslims Only

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

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

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

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

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

Mark sent me this:

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

Look what the taxpayers of L. A County are paying for, the same group that boycotts law-seeking Arizona. Supporting the a Muslim Community Forum. Now let's see if they will promote a Jewish Community Forum, or a Christian Community Forum. Please write Charlie Beck and the other LAPD enablers about your objections or your expectations. Nancy

Pamela Geller, Human Events: Islamic Law Comes to Dearborn

Islamic Law Comes to Dearborn Pamela Geller, Human Events

Is it illegal to preach Christianity to Muslims in America now?

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

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

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

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

Hundreds attend Paris sausage, Wine fest Despite the Ban for Fear of Offending Muslims

We are constantly being told that there are 1.5 billion peace-loving Muslims in the world, and save for a few fringe elements, that Islam is a religion of peace and tolerance.

But of course, the facts refute that. Aside from the 15,500 Islamic attacks since 911, it cannot escape notice that anywhere Muslims live with non-Muslims there is conflict. The larger the Muslim population in the (non-Muslim) host country, the larger the conflict.

Of course they are generally not fighting anyone in Muslim countries ...... those countries are Muslim, there is no one to fight.

In France, a terrible decision was made by the local prefecture to ban the sausage and wine party from taking place in the Goutte d'Or district, a largely Muslim area. Atlas reader Durotrigan wrote, "This demonstrates not only that there has ceased to be a single society in France, but a single jurisdiction too. As in the UK, it is dangerous to venture into Islamised areas."

A FRENCH minister of Algerian descent on Tuesday condemned plans for a ‘pork sausage and wine’ party in a multi-ethnic Paris district, calling them ‘hateful, racist and xenophobic.’ The event scheduled for Friday in a northern Paris area has been organised by a local resident who said she wanted to make a statement against the ‘Islamisation’ of her neighbourhood…

The junior minister for urban affairs, Fadela Amara, told reporters that that while she ‘enjoys a party,’ she found this one ’scandalous.’ ‘I firmly condemn this type of initiative that is not joyful, but hateful, racist and xenophobic,’ she told reporters in the town of Mantes-La-Jolie outside Paris.

Ms Amara, a former activist in the immigrant-heavy Paris suburbs before she joined President Nicolas Sarkozy’s government in 2007, said the drinks party was supported ‘by groups linked to the far right.’ Paris police were to meet with the event’s organisers on Tuesday to consider their official request for permission to hold the event, which has been announced on the social networking site Facebook.

Paris Mayor Bertrand Delanoe voiced concern that the drinks party, timed to coincide with the beginning of Friday prayers at the local mosque and just before the England-Algeria World Cub match, could turn violent. ‘Everything has been planned in such a way that there could be some excesses, things could get out of control and there could even be violence,’ said Mr Delanoe. (Washington Post)

The event was banned and yet hundreds attended the Paris sausage and wine fest despite the ban:

PARIS -- Several hundred people have attended party serving sausage and wine on a Paris street after the event was banned from a different location.

Organizers had planned on holding the event in a heavily Muslim neighborhood of the French capital. The so-called "Sausage and Booze" gathering was seen as offensive to Muslims, and police banned the event earlier this week.

That didn't stop some 300-400 people from turning out for the party Friday. Some carried French flags.

Instead of the neighborhood originally chosen, it took place on the famed Champs-Elysees avenue near the Arc de Triomphe.

Police officers looked on as revelers tucked in to sausages and drank wine from plastic cups. The event apparently took place without incident.

Alcohol and pork are forbidden by Islam.

Parisian Wine and Sausage Protest  Durotrigan blog

It was hoped that some 7,000 people would attend this evening’s anti-Islamisation pork and wine party in Paris which was relocated to the Champs-Elysees Avenue following a ban on it taking place in the Islamised Goutte d’Or district where Muslims have been flouting the law for sometime by blocking the streets with their Friday prayers. The Christian Science Monitor reveals that:

The idea to gather at the Arc de Triomphe is described by Identity Block as symbolic, since it was where 2,000 schoolboys defied a Nazi ban on protest and marched against the occupying forces some 70 years ago.

Furthermore, today also marked the 70th anniversary of General de Gaulle's appeal to the French people to resist the Nazi occupation following his exile to the United Kingdom. In the end, the Washington Post reports that some 300-400 protesters turned up this evening.

A Gaul enjoying a Sausage

Although the numbers are considerably less than what was hoped for, perhaps some of those patriotic French who would have turned up may have put historical animosities aside for the evening in the hope of seeing Algeria trounced by England in the World Cup. Alas, this was not to be, with England managing a dull and lacklustre 0-0 draw.

This apero geant saucisson et pinard event passed off peacefully. Although Sylvie François was the woman who originated the idea and generated a significant following on Facebook, it was also supported by a considerable range of French patriotic and secular groups and bloggers listed below (information taken from Bloc Identitaire website):

PJM Pamela's Paypal Power Play

Check out Pajamas media's take on the Paypal smackdown. Here's an excerpt of PayPal Relents and Apologizes to Pamela Geller:

Geller said she believes the “hate site” designation was the result of a series of bus ads her organizations ran in New York City and Miami, Fla., which promoted the website RefugefromIslam.com. Geller said the ads were in response to a series of bus advertisements she saw in Florida while covering the story of Rifqa Bary, the teenage Muslim girl who converted to Christianity and said she was afraid her family would kill her.

Geller said the ads were not intended to be offensive but to give those converting information about help they could find if they felt they were in danger.

“I think it was Islamist supremacists who reported it as (a hate site),” Geller said. “They wanted to turn off the spigot (of donations).”

Geller said the ad buys were paid for by small donations of $18 to $50 by visitors to her site.

“Honestly I have been interviewed intensively for the last two weeks (by major news outlets),” Geller said. “It apparently was offensive to Muslims. I don’t believe that, I don’t believe Muslim Americans don’t believe in religious freedom.”

Regardless, Geller said she believes she won a victory.

“It is a victory that they came back crawling,” she said, adding she will no longer be using PayPal, but a similar service called GPal.

“Apparently some disenfranchised PayPalers started the site and promote Second Amendment issues,” she said, adding she’d received several recommendations about the service over the weekend.

PJM made repeated requests for comment to PayPal which were not returned. In fact, we were given a non-working phone number as the number for a spokesperson.

PJM also made multiple attempts to contact former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, who is running on the Republican ticket for governor of California. PayPal is owned by eBay.

Pamela Geller, Human Events: Paypal's Shameful Decision and Shameless Reversal

Check out my latest at Human Events:

So the global jihad, choking on petrodollars, tried to shut down my little spigot.

And wait, there’s more. Revolution Muslim, a group of jihadists in New York who are open inciters to violence and Jewish genocide, had a Paypal button on its website.

Got that? Oh, the irony. Nice work, Paypal.

It got better still: Paypal’s policy bans users from selling “items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or thefinancial exploitation of a crime.”

I am not selling anything. But look at this on eBay, which owns Paypal. One eBayer is selling a series of dvd’s featuring lectures by the Imam Anwar al Awlaki.

Remember al Awlaki? He is the imam to the worst of the jihadists of recent years, including the 9/11 Muslim terrorists, the Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan, the Times Square car bomber, the Christmas underwear bomber, the 7/7 London bombers, the 7/21 London bombers, the leader of the transatlantic airline bombers, and others.
 
But the jihad was apparently just fine with eBay and Paypal, at least until enough Atlas readers complained.

Of course, Paypal and all businesses are free to conduct business with whom they choose, and in what ever way they choose, within the bounds of the law, letting the market decide. I believe in that as an absolute. I do not believe for a moment that the government should step in and regulate or force a business into doing bad business (i.e., as in the case of sub-prime mortgages).

But I also believe that it is in my power to call attention to bad business practices and let the market decide. If Paypal was going to punish courageous voices and free men while sanctioning evil, people had to know that before they give their business over to such quisling companies.

After I announced Paypal’s action at Atlas Shrugs, I was overwhelmed by the support and by all the people who have been writing to Paypal. The left lost this one, but I am sure they'll try to silence me and other conservatives in other ways. What they don’t know is that we have not yet begun to fight.

Read the whole thing. Send it around. Hate speech? It's love speech, baby.

Representative McMahon Will Investigate Muslim Brotherhood MAS Behind Staten Island Convent-Cum-Mosque

Video hat tip: Pamela H

No politicians showed at the civic meeting in Staten Island when the entire community came out in the pouring rain, with hundreds turned away, to stand against the islamic supremacist terror group, the Muslim Brotherhood, dba MAS. A betrayal and a sellout.

Well, apparently, one politician saw what side his bread was buttered on.

Spencer and I were at that community meeting and the fix was in. Our elected officials better start doing their jobs. There's a revolution in the making and we will demand of our representatives accountability, particularly in this, where they are selling our neighborhoods and communities out.

Rep. McMahon says his office will look into Muslim society SI Live

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Rep. Michael McMahon yesterday said that his office would take a look at the Muslim American Society (MAS), the group wants to establish a mosque in a former convent in Midland Beach.

The plan has caused controversy, with some community residents saying that MAS has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, an international group which has been accused of abetting terrorism.

"We do have to do the check on the group, just to be sure," McMahon told members of the Advance Editorial Board. "It's the times that we live in."

McMahon said that while the mosque shouldn't be dismissed out of hand, "There are questions that should be asked" about MAS, as well as about the project's impact on the neighborhood and any zoning issues.

He said MAS needs to be asked, "do they have any other affiliations? Is it what it appears to be?"

Said McMahon, "We can't deny the fact that there have been problems that have arisen out of mosques in this country."

But McMahon, a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, was quick to point out that the Island is already home to three other mosques that are "flourishing and are part of the diverse fabric of the Island."

Of the new proposal, McMahon said, "If we come to the point that it makes sense, we have to try to bring people together, have dialogues, bring leaders together, and try to get them to learn that they'll get along swimmingly in the future."

Residents are also unhappy that they didn't hear about the proposal until the MAS had already agreed to buy the old convent from St. Margaret Mary R.C. Church.

McMahon said that the introduction of the proposal was a "a two-step fiasco that didn't have to happen" on the part of the MAS and the parish, leading residents to think that the mosque was being "snuck" into the community.

"The church and the MAS should have understood that the way to start this process is to get into the community and have meetings with the leaders first," McMahon said.

McMahon said that he himself first heard about the project through a story in the Advance. He said he hadn't spoken about the project yet with anyone from MAS or the church.

"We've not had an opportunity to do that at this point," he said. "No one has come to us and asked us to be involved. We're looking at the issue ... we will certainly meet with the different groups and try and get involved."

SIOA Applauds PayPal's Decision To Reinstate Pro-Freedom Sites

USA Today reporting:

SIOA Applauds PayPal's Decision To Reinstate Pro-Freedom Sites The Street

NEW YORK, June 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The human rights group Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) today applauded a decision by PayPal, the leading online payment service, to reinstate the accounts of AtlasShrugs.com, Freedom Defense Initiative (FDI), and SIOA itself, after briefly suspending them over spurious and politically motivated charges of "hate.

Atlas Shrugs founder and publisher Pamela Geller, who is also the Executive Director of SIOA, received this e-mail last Friday from PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy Department: "[A]fter a recent review of your account, it has been determined that you are currently in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy. Under the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive payments for items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or the financial exploitation of a crime."

PayPal sent similar notices to SIOA and to the Freedom Defense Initiative (FDI), another group Geller helped establish.    

Geller explained: "The decision that Atlas Shrugs, SIOA, and FDI constitute 'hate sites' was an example of the ongoing attempt by Leftists and Islamic supremacist groups like the Hamas-linked hate group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to rule their political opposition outside the bounds of acceptable and reasonable political discourse."

She added: "The goal behind accusations of 'hatred' and 'bigotry' leveled against groups like SIOA and FDI, which are dedicated to defending human rights and American Constitutional values, is to silence them so that Islamic supremacists can have free rein to restrict the rights of Americans without opposition. PayPal's capitulation to this smear campaign was an ominous sign."

But on Monday, a PayPal representative contacted Geller to inform her that Atlas Shrugs, SIOA and FDI had been mistakenly designated "hate sites," and that the designations would be removed. The reversal follows an avalanche of critical emails PayPal received from followers of the enormously popular Atlas Shrugs blog.

PayPal's pro-freedom reversal comes just as the Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a press release applauding its earlier capitulation to the foes of free speech and the politicization of services. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case -- so named by the Justice Department during the trial of the Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation.

In this trial, the evidence demonstrated that CAIR founders Omar Ahmad and Niwad Awad (who still serves as CAIR's executive director), were present at a Hamas planning meeting in Philadelphia in 1993 where they and other Hamas operatives conspired to raise funds for Hamas and to promote jihad in the Middle East. CAIR has steadfastly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.

Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror:

• Ghassan Elashi, founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, in 2009 received a 65-year prison sentence for funneling over $12 million from the Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation to the jihad terrorist group Hamas, which is responsible for murdering hundreds of Israeli civilians
• Mousa Abu Marzook, a former CAIR official, was in 1995 designated by the U.S. government in 1995 as a "terrorist and Hamas leader." He now is a Hamas leader in Syria.
• Randall Royer, CAIR's former civil rights coordinator, in 2004 began serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding al-Qaida and the Taliban against American troops in Afghanistan and recruiting for Lashkar e-Taiba, the jihadist group responsible for the 2008 Mumbai jihad massacres.
• Bassem Khafagi, CAIR's former community relations director, was arrested for involvement with the Islamic Assembly of North America, which was linked to al-Qaida. After pleading guilty to visa and bank fraud charges, Khafagi was deported.

In 1998 Omar Ahmad, CAIR's co-founder and longtime Board Chairman, said: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."

After he received unwelcome publicity as a result of this statement, Ahmad denied saying it, several years after the fact. However, the original reporter, Lisa Gardiner of the Fremont Argus, stands by her story.

CAIR's spokesman Ibrahim Hooper once said: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."

CAIR also defamed the leaders of SIOA and FDI, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, in its press release about the initial but short-lived success of the attempt to include PayPal in its hate and smear campaign.

WaPo's Leftist/Islamic Narrative: Pro-Freedom = Anti-Muslim

The Islamic supremacists and their left-wing shills are getting nervous that good people are beginning to stand up, get up, stand for their lives. The recent counter jihad actions, i.e., fighting the Muslim Brotherhood in Staten Island, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and the mega mosque at  Ground Zero are just the beginning.

And so we get another insulting piece about the counter-jihad force over at the Washington Post. They refuse to engage in the most basic journalistic standards. Get a statement from me or anyone else they cover. But no, their dhimmitude and capitulation to islamic supremacists is painful -- look at their most obvious headline:

How influential will anti-Muslim groups become? Washington Post

We are not anti-Muslim. But they must say this to discredit us, so afraid are they of reason and logic. We are anti-Islamic supremacism. We believe all men are created equal, no special rights for special classes. We are counter-jihad.

What is the future of the anti-Muslim movement in the United States?

For years there has been a small but passionate group of people concerned with the influence of Islam, and their activism seemed to be largely focused on blogging and lobbying political conservatives. But their presence -- and the arguments they raise -- seem to be coming into the broader sphere of late.

Translation? They managed to keep the counter-jihad movement contained and marginalized for years but now folks are waking up so they have to nip this sucker in the bud.

There's the fight over a mosque at the Ground Zero site, and this weekend the on-line electronic payment firm PayPal reportedly cut off the anti-Muslim blog Atlas Shrugs, saying it's a hate site.

Paypal caved.

Needless to say, this has prompted a roar from Atlas Shrugs supporters who see political bias.

Commentators across the spectrum, from the libertarian Becket Fund to the progressive Media Matters are asking: Where is this anti-Muslim movement going? How significantly will it steer the debate in this country about religious freedom and bias?

Towards freedom we hope, clowns. Sharia (Islamic) law is radically intolerant and anti-freedom. The bias in sharia is against non-Muslims, not equal rights for all.

UPDATE: I left this comment on this propagandist swill:

I am not anti-Muslim.

I love Muslims. I am pro-freedom and anti-islamic supremacism.

Stop the slander and defamation. It's an incitement to violence.

Do it again and I am going to sue you.

Yours in liberty,

Folks – this is the United States Capitol Building – historic and symbolic – adorned atop by the Statue of Freedom. Not only has the building become a mosque every Friday, but check out all the dhimmi’s in attendance as if they were in a Muslim country.

Big tent? Actually a not-so-big tent. At last check, the group does not accept infidels. More of Jihad’s bullshit – reasonably accommodated. Creep creep. It’s a big ummah tent that includes the Muslim Brotherhood’s North American outlets – according to Jihad’s CMSA website:

One Small Fine for Muslima, One Giant Step For Mankind

The Islamic veil ban is taking hold across Europe, France being on the forefront of this anti-islamization parliamentary action. Of course, America is way behind the curve in this, because the islamization of Europe far outpaces the islamization of America -- the propaganda of jihadist deception (taqiya) is in full bloom here (CAIR leads that war in the informational battlespace). And of course, Obama and the dar al islam in America are working hard to expedite the process.

Belgium is expected to vote on a veil ban soon. France announced a couple of days ago that it would go ahead and ban the burka and niqab. French immigration minister Eric Bresson called the burka a "walking coffin." I think it's an apt description. This article also notes that the Netherlands may be the next country to announce a ban on burkas and minarets. That is, if Geert Wilders wins the election.

Driver wearing Islamic face veil fined in France Washington Post

NANTES, France -- A woman driver wearing an Islamic face veil has been fined by French police for not having a clear field of vision. The fine was small, but it garnered big attention Friday and may illustrate what is to come as the president pushes to outlaw the veils nationwide.

Traffic police in the western city of Nantes fined the 31-year-old woman euro22 ($29) in early April, her lawyer said. The fine was based on a rule that says drivers should have freedom of movement and a sufficient field of vision, lawyer Jean-Michel Pollono said.

Pollono said Friday that he is protesting the decision, saying a veil is no different from a motorcycle helmet in terms of hindrance to vision.

The driver gave a news conference Friday - while wearing the niqab veil, which covers the entire face except for the eyes - and expressed "a feeling of injustice" over the incident.

"I didn't commit any infraction," said the driver, who declined to give her name. "I see just as well as you ... I have driven like this for nine years. I've not had any problems."

The driver is French by nationality. The lawyer said she had never been stopped until now, after months of recent parliamentary discussion and government talk about possibly banning the veils.

President Nicolas Sarkozy raised the stakes Wednesday in France's drive to abolish the all-encompassing veil, ordering a draft law banning them in all public places. He insists the veils oppress women, and decided to defy France's highest administrative body, which says such a full ban could be found unconstitutional.

When the driver was stopped, the traffic police asked her to raise her veil to confirm her identity, and she complied, Pollono said.

"A French citizen cannot be fined based on the way he or she dresses," Pollono said. "If the veil is forbidden behind the wheel, then nuns should not be able to drive, and full helmets for motorcyclists should be banned, because you can't see on the sides, and even some police units who drive with masks should be fined."

SIOA Free Speech Victory in the News and a Dhimmi Media: Free Speech in the Age of JIhad

Let's have a look at the SIOA victory in the media. The dhimmis in big media won't touch it, but they'll run un-indicted co-conspirator, hamas-tied, Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR's propaganda unedited and unqualified.

It is galling how the free (but shackled) press assumes their freedoms will always be there when forces of evil are working so feverishly to dismantle them. Breathtaking.

Brave media? CNS and WND. Robert said, "Despite the important free speech aspects of this story, and despite the fact that the Hamas-linked Islamic supremacists of CAIR have never before been dealt such a defeat, the mainstream media (including the allegedly conservative media) is -- not surprisingly -- ignoring the story of the restoration of our SIOA bus ads, with the notable exception of CNS News."

Activists Claim Free Speech Victory As 'Leaving Islam' Ads Return to Buses

(CNSNews.com) – A public transit authority in Florida has reversed a decision to take down banner advertisements on buses that offer help to Muslims wanting to leave their faith. Activists are hailing the move as a victory for free speech and religious freedom.
 
Not only will the ten originally planned ads appear on Miami-Dade Transit buses in coming days, but an additional 20 ads will be run at no extra cost.
 

The decision came after the group initiating the ad campaign threatened a lawsuit, claiming breach of contract and violation of First Amendment rights.

Leaving Islam' ads return to Miami buses

'This is a huge victory on the constitutional issues'Posted: April 22, 2010

Bus ads offering support to Muslims wanting to leave Islam that were censored just days ago by the Miami-Dade Transit agency because of complaints from Muslims are being returned to the streets, this time in even greater numbers.

The ads are the work of Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugs and Robert Spencer of JihadWatch through the Stop Islamization of America initiative.

The transit agency decided to censor the ads after a complaint was filed by the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

On the Stop Islamization website, a statement said, "Not only will [Freedom Defense Initiative] and SIOA's buses be going back up, but another 20 will be added to the existing [campaign]."

Ads pulled from Miami transit buses after CAIR complained

"This is a huge victory on the constitutional issues. This is the work of SIOA. Have you joined our Facebook group yet? … Robert and I want to roll this out nationwide. We have no big money, big donors. … We are two people fighting with all the gusto we can muster."

The transit agency did not respond to a WND request for comment.

Get "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America," autographed, from WND's Superstore.

The Stop Islamization statement explained how the controversy developed.

"When the South Florida chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) pressured the Miami-Dade Country Transit Authority to yank bus panel ads contracted and paid for by Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer of the Freedom Defense Initiative because the ads were 'offensive to Muslims,' the two activists turned to the Law Offices of David Yerushalmi, P.C. for help. Mr. Yerushalmi joined forces with the Thomas More Law Center and the two law firms began preparing a federal complaint alleging breach of contract and a violation of Ms. Geller's and Mr. Spencer's First Amendment Rights.

There's more. Go.

Quebec: New Law -- No Niqab "Two words: Uncovered face"

This is smart. Very smart. Inevitably the supremacists will go elsewhere and impose their will on soft, spineless societies. Quebec Premier Jean Charest and his cabinet have introduced sweeping legislation that effectively bars Muslim women from receiving or delivering public services while wearing a niqab.

According to the draft law, they would not be able to consult a doctor in a hospital, for example, or even attend classes in a university.

"Two words: Uncovered face," Charest told reporters during a press conference in Quebec City.

"The principle is clear." (more here)

New Quebec law: Uncover your face if you want to deal with provincial government

MONTREAL - Muslim women will be forced to uncover their faces if they want services from the Quebec government, according to landmark legislation tabled Wednesday in the province.

In tabling the bill, Quebec delves into sensitive territory where governments in Canada have largely avoided treading: setting hard-and-fast rules for accommodating minorities.

The bill says people obtaining - or delivering - services at places like the health-or auto-insurance boards will need to do so with their faces in plain view.

Face-coverings won't be tolerated if they hinder communication or visual identification.

Premier Jean Charest characterized the legislation as a defence of two valued principles, gender equality and secular public institutions.

"This is a symbol of affirmation and respect - first of all, for ourselves, and also for those to whom we open our arms," Charest told a news conference in Quebec City.

"This is not about making our home less welcoming, but about stressing the values that unite us. . .

"An accommodation cannot be granted unless it respects the principle of equality between men and women, and the religious neutrality of the state."

While the debate over such identity issues has raged in Europe for years, and played out around countless dinner tables and Internet chat boards in this country, Canadian politicians have been reluctant to weigh in.
