LIVEBLOGGING First Annual Black Republican Forum NYC

Gorgeous day New York City and it's even more gorgeous at the Women's Republican Club. I am Liveblogging Annual Black Republican Forum. Where's McCain?

David Webb is happy to be  in a room with "Africa American conservatives and everyone else" introducing conservative man of the year Right Talk radio host and WND columnist Mychal Massie (moderator for the afternoon)

"We don’t need a black man to be president so badly that it forces us to take leave of our senses. We need a man (or woman) president who is pro-America, pro her citizens, is committe to our Constitution, and pro traditional values."

Yeah baby

Princella Smith is recounting the true history of Civil Rights. And its been the Republicans that have the history on fighting slavery, racism and civils rights? Whyis that Black America stands with the party of Jim Crow laws and the Klu Klux Klan, that fought civil rights?
"All those racist Democrats stayed racist Democrats until the day they died"
The Democrats keep the black community in abject poverty to maintain power of them.
The Democrats hijacked the Republicans civil rights movement  upon JFK's death (the Republicans would not exploit his death)

"The Democrats are the party of poverty, the Republicans in the party of prosperity"

I say, amen to that.

And if you missed my off the cuff live interview with Allen West, go here.

AN ATLAS FIRST: GUEST BLOGGER ON MY MACHINE. Now that's hot.

GUEST LIVEBLOG - Hip Hop Republican is taking over and writing the following update:

Atlas and Frances Rice                                         Hip Hop Republican takes over Atlas's machine

Thanks Pamela for allowing me on to take over..the person who is up speaking is Rep. Jennifer Carroll she is speaking on the bias in media. She started her talk with a question is the media biased? She answered the question with a question "does the veins need blood". Rep. Jennifer Carroll is speaking about the slaughter of black children by black children and the failure of the media to highlight this. She just spoke about the media's influence on black youth and the terrible consequence that occur when they are parroted. The message she is leaving with the audience is that Republican's do not want to harm the black community but to heal it.

The next speaker is David Webb he is a radio show host who is speaking about the need for all us us to look at character over race and to focus on the issues.

There is now a panel starting to answer questions from the panelist and Bob Parks is being asked by a women in the audience about the success of his campaign in Massachusetts's. Bob is giving a  brief history and demographic of the issues of the district.

We are all being asked now to take a break.....

Okay break over..I am sitting here with fish crackers and sprite and am listening to Niger Innis from CORE a Manhattan based advocacy group. Niger is speaking on immigration policy he is talking about the differences in various nations regarding this policy. He is talking about the historical diversity of our nation and how effective policy can  shape its role in the future.

UPDATE: My special guest bloggerHip Hop Republican continues:

Now for the number one speaker Colonel Allen West. He just saluted three army service members in the audience. He is now talking about the historical significance of building up a nations border from ancient Rome till today.  He is talking about the dangers of sanctuary cities that effect mostly black and poor communities. Allen West is highlighting how many of the gangs like MS13 have created turf wars and a potential nightmare. He is tying in health cost and economic security with the ability of our nations failure to crack down in illegal immigration...okay he is done

Now the panel is applauding the young solders who are in the audience ironically all Hispanic.

Pamela here: Deborah Honeycutt is up. WOW. This  brilliant brash, doctor is a proud Republican and she  will be the first African American females Republican congressperson. I am listening to her and she is inspiring. Apparently, my first impression is spot on because Hip Hop just gave me an article and it appears Honeycutt is strategically poised to become the the Republican Party what Oybambi is for the Democrats  - an historic political star.

She is running in the 13th District in Gerogia and she is electric.

Pamela here:I asked the panel how they were going to copmbat the media blackout on their message. "if the Republican message is the bastard, the Black republican message is the aborted child (ta liberal pun). What are you going to do to circumvent the MSM and get the message out."

Deborah Honeycutt responded: "We have to go to every meeting, every group discussion. We must shout from the housetops. We cannot be silent. We mest get out there. We must use the net"

Speaking of which, I am going to go see if I grab Honeycutt and see if I can get a VLOG. I just finished a interview with Kerry's opponent Jeff Beatty. Check it out on youtube now!

Break time: Loading video of Deborah Honeycutt. What a woman! This is a great event. McCain stumbled big time by not being here. This is his constituency. He would have brought the press and the message of these great Americans would get out there. Foolish move.

UPDATE: HONEYCUTT AND ATLAS INTERVIEW. She rocks!

 

Bishop Yonel Yarboro (left)                  Leftie sighting! Ellis Henicon showed up for the carrots.

Next up: Keynote speaker Lynn Swann

Frances Rice, Lynn Swann, David Webb

Black Republican Chair Jennifer Carrol just endorsed McCain. CROWD GOING WILD!

Webb is speaking of tonight's theme. RACE AND THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE. Lynn Swann will be speaking on the subject.

Swann speaking. He's funny. "my mom and dad wanted two daughters. They wanted two daughters, and they had me. They named me Lynn anyway" :)

She enrolled him in dance classes anyway and after being surrounded by girls for a couple of years he said to himself, this is not a bad place to be. He was a Baptist and and went to an all girl's religious school. 

Discussing Race in the Presidential Race.

Race is not an issue. The economy is an issue.

Foreign Policy, if you are elected to the office of the United States, is an issue.

Education is an issue. Race is not an race.

The Democrats and the candidate has made race an issue.

Martin Luther King said a man should be judged, not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character.

The race is about the economy. He is going on to describe the short and long term impact of the deleterious effects of what the Democrats have planned. He is saying that small business cannot take such a hit.

21 million small businesses will suffer enormously. They will be forced to lay off workers. 

ENERGY: We have to drill. HUGE APPLAUSE.

I live in Pennsylvania, We like coal. We need a president who do what is necessary not a facade of hope.

Swann is congratulating what Obama acheived and it deserves respect.

You must ask these three questions of the candidates:

Who am I?

What do I believe?

How do I act on those beliefs?

Ask those questions and there is no other answer. That person is JOHN MCCAIN!

John McCain is the clear choice.

I do not have  aclear undrstanding of what and who Obama is and what he stands for.

We need someone we can count on.

We don't need more entitlements.

I do not intend to be herded into a polling place and be told I have vote a certain way.

Thats racist.

McCain has been tested.

Recounting a story now of how he was questioned at a football game by a woman, "how can you be a Republican"

and he said, "because I choose to."

Why do you assume because I am black that I have to be a Democrat?

I am a free man. I choose

The Republican party is the spirit and the soul of the Black people. We have to be ministers of the Republican.

Ladies and Gentlemen, open those doors to the Republican church.

UPDATE: Thanks to Pamela for this:  Lynn Swann's speech at Black Republican Forum (22 minutes)

GO WEST FOR YOUR FUTURE!

New York was a little sweeter today, a little safer, a little stronger. The wonderful Allen West came to the big town and I am honored and proud  to support his candidacy. This man represents the Republicans' best hope, our new vision for the future of the Republican party. This is a great American. A hero.

He gets it. He knows what needs to be done. On energy. On limited government. On creeping sharia. On the nanny state. On Islamic jihad. Read the columns he wrote for Atlas while stationed in Kandahar: Colonel's Column from Kandahar

This man makes Oybambi look one of those cardboard display characters, a mere shell.
 

Get involved in his campaign. Join his army. Contribute. Please. Your country depends on it.

Allen West, Atlas, Rich Davis, founder of the Chester County Victory movement and Dan from Gathering of Eagles

 

Annual Black Republican Forum

When West gets in,  self loathing corrupt Jew Hater Klein is out. West in, Klein out. Now there's a gift that keeps on giving :)

NY TIMES SQUARE: CHRISTIANS, PATRIOTS AND PHILISTINES

UPDATED: Additional video and pics

I had planned to appear at the open hearing down in Somerset on the Flight 93 Islamic Crescent Memorial but the best laid plans of mice, men and bloggers change when Atlas  daughter number flies in from London late evening She was on an intern exchange program studying law in the magistrates court and the  London Crown. Having been away a month, I wasn't leaving and Alec said he had Somerset more than covered. 

I couldn't do 10 plus hours away from sweetness and light. But,  I knew she'd be jet lagged and sleeping very late  so I headed off for Times Square for three reasons.

First, and the most importantly, the Philistines, moonbats, commies, Palis, Islamists, American haters and the godless were staging a "huge"  "NO WAR WITH IRAN" rally, that promised thousands of attendees. /not

Secondly, the counter rally- my rally, the Patriots. Gathering of Eagles, many on their hogs, protest warriors and great Americans gathered to counter the anti-war protest. I was to be  joined by Dan of Gathering of Eagles, Pamela H, Coretta, Tom D, Urban Infidel .... the best folks.

Latly, Desiree, warrior girl patriot and 911 family member invited me to a concert by the recruiting station. It was a  rockin' choir, headed by a most inspiring singer/preacher, Kim Clement, singing and chanting. Fabulous (and I'm Jewish!). Jesus loves New York.  

The day was gorgeous. The singing was spectacular. Then suddenly the wind started swirling, came up so  fast as the pro Iranian nuke Nazis across the started to assemble (just like last time - "let there be rain!") . Urban Infidel said as she came up from the subway and the wind began to turn it felt like those movies, apocalyptic. It was very freckly and then the skies open up and it down poured. Not a drop all summer and today - boom! Torrents, lightening, thunder until all of the action was over.

Great crowd, happy dancing singing. Wonderful people. They are lovers of America, Israel and were recently at Mt. Carmel with the entire team of "prophetic" musicians

Desiree and me

Ahmadinejad’s Nuclear Jihad:”Iranian nation [will] not retreat one iota from its rights”

The anti-god crowd whose slogan was "Iran is not the enemy, the US government is the enemy." Hysterical. They don't know how they sound. They say, "we're the great Americans" and there is not one American flag being waved in their crowd. We wave the flag, they. The only flag I saw was the "Pali" Gazan flag

They love to cry about police brutality. What about their brutality. The police ROE's are impossible.

DEATH crowd

The hateful invective of the speakers was vile. The willingness of members to engage in street violence does not bode well for the oblivious masses.

The mentally sick, the pathetic, the haters, the losers, the moochers, the looters, the left, the Islamists, this is their constituency.

It was an ugly nasty crowd. Blaming all the worlds ills on the US. It's "the man's" fault... the big three automakers are laying off workers (how about the burdens  labor demands for healthcare, wage increases, seniority etc) It's unsustainable. These folks blamed the boil on their ass on the man

And the their favorite annihilationist chant "from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free"

As we made our way to the barricades set up across the street from the America haters rally - this Isalmist came directly up to one of our first women (with family serving in Iraq) who was one of th first behind our barricades and he began screaming in her face and started to physically attack her, completely unprovoked Police scrambled. This guy went off.

And then when subdued, he got on the phone - I guess to file his lawsuit with CAIR.

Patriots arrive! Woo Hoo!

Downpour

the Patriots

Gathering of Eagles

Pint sized great Americans.

Leathernecks.

My favorite bike.

No media at the Christian Choir rally

No media at the Patriots' rally

All the media was stationed at the "Stop the War on Iran" rally ....what about Iran's war on us? Oh yeah, we're the bad guys.

Video to follow ....

Atlas Vlogs the Keffiyeh at the Israel Day Parade

Watch in higher quality here

The parade - gorgeous weather, gorgeous, faces, gorgeous nashuma. Not a keffiyeh in sight (see previous posts on the Dunkin Donuts keffiiyah brouhaha here, here, here and here

And then the annihilationists and Jew haters show up --- cloaked in the keffiyeh

She's ashamed, she covered her face.

This fat bastard kept  calling me "hey Pamela! Cover up!" Yeah, said I was "sagging" (so not) and called me a prostitute> I thought I caught it on tape but I wasn't in movie mode. Just a pig thats all. He was with Yousef al-Khattab, the depraved all hang together.

Look who is pointing at me (Islamist on right )- Fox poster boy Joseph "Yousef al-Khattab" Cohen - yeah he was yelling my name too. Remember our little have-at-it  video at the Islamists day parade here?

UPDATE: Protest warriors caught some ugly video:

Here Tom was in the "Belly of the Beast" (brief clip of entry)

These are very juicy (in a vile and disgusting way)

Islamic Thinkers Society (notice the sign in the back)

They were so extreme, even the marshals tried to get them ejected

Litigious and whacked Rabbi Feinberg with the Neturei Karta (0.19) (yes that Rabbi)

NYC NAKBA RALLY AND G-D SAID, LET THERE BE RAIN...LOTS

And boy did it rain. This largely touted rally had maybe 175 kids there, bussed in from .... madrassahs. Young girls mostly - how ironic. Girls marching for oppression.

all dressed in full headress and kefiyah

"Free free Palestine ........from the river to the sea!"

Lots of phallic inspired signage.

light attendance ......McKinney still MIA when I left

Ethnic cleansing? They were screaming at this Jewish guy (see below) "Jew Jew I hope you die today!"

Met up with Sammy from Yidwithlid, Pamela H.

Marcing to 2nd Avenue

The view down Second Avenue

The buses down Second Avenue

This was basically the whole of it.  The whole nakba. Was it not lost on these girls that they would have none of these freedoms living under shariah?

And then there were the great Americans

Sign in a windshield

Great signage.

This Jewish man was on the other side of the street when the Nakba neanderthal started yelling at him "Jew! Jew! Jew! I hope you die today! So much for the "It's about Israel, not the Jews" canard.

LONG LIVE ISRAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hat tip on this chai (it means life! in hebrew) baseball cap photo, to the great Sammy, yidwithlid (thanks sweetie!)

UPDATE: Mary over at Exit Zero picked up where I left off.  She got there after me and  she's got excellent coverage. Go here now.

UPDATE: Chaim (JEW, JEW, I  hope you die today!) has posted about his Jew hating nakba incident and he posted, quite frankly, a really beautiful picture of Atlas.  Thanks Chaim ...... we actually did a radio show together a couple of years ago. Small word, blog world.

I did wait a half hour ..... no one else showed. They did trot out their old tired signs.

The old mushroom cloud over Israel

whatever ................ the big one is on Friday. Be there at noon.

Escape From A Brooklyn Mosque

Please read the following  article by Bos Smith, a Wall Street lawyer, who accompanied Paul Williams on a tour of the radical mosques in Brooklyn. They were snagged at the mosque of Siraj Mahaj by a host of Muslim Ninjas, grilled in the basement of the mosque, and barely got out of the place alive. What follows is their harrowing account of  Bos Smith's visit to a Brooklyn mosque.

Just for knowijng, if they went to my shul (or any shul) they would have been served coffee and danish. WTF is going on in America and why aren't we monitoring the mosques. Individuals doing law enforcement's job. Again.

ESCAPE FROM A BROOKLYN MOSQUE By Bos Smith

     
Bos Smith in front of Masjid At-Taqwa

Don’t snap a photo of the Masjid At-Taqwa in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn unless you want to be hauled away by a group of angry Muslims in Islamic attire to the basement of the facility where a group of twenty “security guards” in karate suits will interrogate you.

This might sound preposterous.

But it happened on Saturday, April 24, at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Ali Kareem, the head of security for Siraj Wahaj’s mosque, conducted the grilling. A small, muscular man with a wispy black beard that has been dyed red with henna, Kareem demanded to know the reason why a trio of kafirs had dared to photograph the building on a public street without securing his permission.

He further insisted on securing our identities and obtaining our motives for such a violation of Islamic space.

Being surrounded by a group of militant guards in a mosque basement from which there is no means of escape is not a comforting place to be for a Wall Street financier.

We tried to explain that we found the neighborhood with its halal meat vendors and food stores; Islamic dress shops, featuring the latest styles in burqas and hijabs; Muslim souvenir outlets, replete with bumper stickers stating “Don’t Be Caught Dead Without Islam”; and Middle Eastern restaurants offering a variety of goat dishes to be rather quaint and interesting.

This explanation was not sufficient.

Kareem was impatient and did not want a detailed explanation of the reason for our excursion (simple sight-seeing) or a graphic account of the sights we had seen and photographed.

“I ask the questions here,” he said, “and you provide the answers.”

Realizing that we were in a bit of a pickle, my companion explained that we were interested in various religions and knew Siraj Wahaj, the imam of the mosque, was a prominent Muslim figure whom we would like to interview for a news outlet.

This didn’t work too well since we could not produce a business card from a wacko blog, let alone credentials from a national publication.

At last, we blurted out that we were admirers of Islam and the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) and wanted to obtain information about conversion. We were even knowledgeable enough to blurt out “Salaam” and “Allahu akbar.”

The last utterance seemed to be the “Open Sesame” that got us out of the basement and back to Bedford Street, where we managed to take a picture of the mosque before hailing a cab and making a getaway.

The experience was disconcerting. Surely, anyone who takes a picture of St. Patrick’s Cathedral or the Riverside Church is not hauled off to a basement for questioning by a threatening figure in a karate uniform and a band of Ninjas.

What is taking place within Masjid At-Taqwa?

And what about Siraj Wahaj, the celebrated imam of this mosque who claims to be a moderate?

Masjid At-Taqwa at 1226 Bedford Street was an abandoned clothing store, which Wahaj purchased at an auction in 1979 for $30,000 with cash from oil-rich Saudis. The interior is divided into spacious, windowless rooms that have been painted green and beige.

At Friday afternoon prayers the meeting room is crammed with hundreds of congregants. Some show up in do-rag stocking caps and Sean John sweatshirts; others wear finely embroidered, authentic-looking Muslim caps and flowing robes of crimson and gold. About half of the attendees are African-Americans. The others are immigrants from the Middle East, South Asia and Africa. Worshipers range from Brooklyn street bums to the local celebrities, such as former heavy-weight champion Mike Tyson.

The place has played host to a number of notorious exponents of radical Islam, including Clement Rodney Hampton-El (Dr. Rashid), a key player in the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Mr. Hampton-El is presently cooling his heels in a federal slammer since he was found guilty of seditious conspiracy. Mr. Hampton-El, who was born and raised in Brooklyn, fought as a mujahadeen under Gulbuddin Hekmatyar in the holy war against the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.

Upon his return, Hampton-El was hailed as a hero by members of the mosque. Imam Wahaj has said that he was sought out by young and old alike for spiritual advice as an “elder” in the community. Wahaj, in fact, appeared as a character witness for Hampton El when the former mujahadeen stood trial before Judge Michael Mukasey in New York’s Federal District Court on charges of seditious conspiracy and attempted bombing.

Hampton-El is currently serving thirty-five years in a supermax prison for America’s most dangerous inmates.

 

      Bos Smith at Masjid al-Fooqra

Blind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman visited Masjid At-Taqwa on many occasions while serving as the imam of the nearby Masjid al-Fooqra at 554 Atlantic Avenue, several blocks from Masjid At-Taqwi. On the second floor of Rahman’s mosque, al Qaeda had opened an office under the name of the al-Kifah Refugee Center. It became a favorite haunt for members of Wahaj's congregation.

Rahman also spoke on occasion at Masjid At-Taqwa. In one speech, the fiery sheikh suggested that Muslims should rob banks to benefit Islam.

In 1995, Sheikh Rahman was hauled into court as the alleged architect of the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center and for planning to blow up the United Nations, the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, the George Washington Bridge, and buildings throughout Manhattan. At his side was his good friend Siraj Wahaj who provided testimony of the sheik’s sterling character.

In a Feb. 2, 1995, letter to defense lawyers in the landmarks-bombing case, then-U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White named about 170 people as "un-indicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirators." Imam Wahaj was on the list.

Other infamous characters reportedly have made their way to the Bedford Street mosque, including Imam Gulshair el-Shukrijumah, whose son Adnan has been singled out by the Justice Department as “the next Muhammad Atta.” Gulshair, it turns out, served a stint as imam at another radical Brooklyn mosque - - the now defunct Masjid Nur a-Islam, at 21 Church Street.

Another visitor, according to informed sources, was Sheikh Gilani, the founder of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, who served as the imam of yet another Brooklyn mosque - - the Yasin Masjid at 777 Saratoga Avenue. This infamous mosque is now a beauty salon. From 1980 to 1995, it served as a recruiting center for the jihad and for paramilitary Islamic compounds that remain in existence throughout the country.

Since the time of its inception, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has been responsible for more terror attacks on American soil (30 and counting) than all other terrorist groups combined. Members of ul-Fuqra, which maintains headquarters in Pakistan, have been convicted in US courts of such crimes as homicide, conspiracy to commit murder, firebombing, gun smuggling, grand theft, counterfeiting, and workers’ compensation fraud. Others remain leading suspects in criminal cases throughout the country, including ten unsolved assassinations and seventeen fire-bombings. Some of the better-known adherents of ul-Fuqra are Richard Reid, the shoe bomber, and John Allen Muhammad, the Beltway sniper.

But what of Wahaj? Is he an exponent of radical Islam - - a man who poses a threat to millions of Americans?

He is a well-known and welcome figure in Washington DC. He was the first Muslim cleric to offer the invocation at the opening session of Congress. He has dined with former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and serves on the boards of no less than five major Muslim organizations. He has received commendations from the Brooklyn police for eradicating crime from the Bedford-Stuyvesant area. In 2003, Siraj Wahaj Day was celebrated in Brooklyn in recognition of what one borough official called a “lifetime of outstanding and meaningful achievement.”

But the proof of the real Wahaj is in the proverbial pudding.

In one of his sermons, Wahaj announced that the "real terrorists" are the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency. In another, he said, "In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing. And the only thing that will remain will be Islam." He proclaimed that a society governed by strict Islamic law, in which adulterers are stoned to death and apostates beheaded, would be vastly superior to American democracy.

To a Muslim audience in New Jersey, Wahaj advocated the idea of Muslims forming a coup to take control of the federal government. “If we are united and strong,” he said, “we’d elect our own emir [leader] and give allegiance to him. Take my word for it, if six to eight million Muslims united in America, the country will come to us.”

His so-called “moderate” interpretation of the Qu’ran became clear by this remark: "If Allah says 100 strikes, 100 strikes it is. If Allah says cut off their hand, you cut off their hand. If Allah says stone them to death, through the Prophet Muhammad, then you stone them to death, because it's the obedience of Allah and his messenger -- nothing personal."

Wahaj informed an audience of black women wearing Muslim head coverings in Orlando, Fla., that Islam condones a man's marrying up to four wives, and that this rule, when introduced in the seventh century, served as a restriction on arrangements involving even more wives per husband.

And there are the national organizations to which Wahaj remains affiliated. He served as emir (president) of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), which has been charged with funneling millions to terror groups, and as an advisory board member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which has been labeled by author and counter-terrorism expert Steven Emerson as a “radical fundamentalist front group for Hamas.”

All this may be well and good, save for the fact that Wahaj and his mosque retains a small army not of brown-shirts but black-belts who now claim the right to collar ordinary citizens on the sidewalk and to haul them off for interrogation.

You’re only safe in Brooklyn at this writing if you say your prayers - - meaning, of course, the Basmalah.

B).  It was less than two weeks before Senator Santorum’s speech that the Stroudsburg Islamic Center, in association with the Muslim Association of Lehigh Valley had a fundraising event that featured Siraj WAHHAJ, Imam of the Masjid At-Taqwa in Brooklyn, NY as the keynote speaker.  WAHHAJ, the first Muslim to deliver the daily prayer in the U.S. House of Representatives in 1991, later preached to an audience of New Jersey Muslims that if only Muslims were more clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate. "If we were united and strong, we'd elect our own emir [leader] and give allegiance to him. . . . [T]ake my word, if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us." Read it all here.

C).  NYPD  79th Precinct  Capt. Julian said that when officers of the 79th Precinct arrested the five men, they discovered guns in their car. Additional charges were added later after two complainants described what Captain Julian said appeared to be a a landlord-tenant dispute. The arresting officers saw nothing at the apartment to indicate that there were drug sales there and only learned of the allegation of such sales well after the five men were arrested, he said.   The five men arrested were Siraj Wahajj, 36, Abdul Rauf Shakir, 36, Salim Abdul Sabur, 29, Mustafa Abdullah, 34 and Askia Umrani, 33, all of Brooklyn. They are all affiliated with the Masjid At-Taqwa at Bedford Avenue and Fulton Street in Brooklyn. The mosque was started in 1981 when its members broke away from the American Muslim Mission headed by Warif Muhammad.  (Read it all  here).

ATLAS EXCLUSIVE: "HONOR" KILLER YASER SAID HAS TIES TO AL QAEDA

"Honor Killer" Yaser Said, Al AQaeda and the Muslim Underground

By Pamela Geller and Bill Warner, WBI

After Yaser Said allegedly murdered older daughter Amina in cold blood and then pumped nine bullets into his tiny daughter, Sarah Said,  he intended to flee the country (which would explain why he parked so near the airport).  What he did not count on was Sarah's super human ability to make a 911 call naming her father and pleading for her life,  the cell phone signal identifying where they were. Yasir was forced to move the bodies and his plan unraveled from there.

When he moved the girls bodies to a deserted part of the Omni hotel parking lot, Yasir was covered in blood and too far from anywhere to travel on foot. Someone had to have come and picked him up. Who? Who helped Yasir that night? Who did Yaser Said call on his cell phone? Who?  Have police checked those cell phone records?

Yaser Said made the lives of his wonderful, athletic, top honors daughters a living hell. This sexual sociopath raped them in their youth and beat them fiercely as a regular diet.

The legitimacy of male violence against rebellious women is by no means an extreme view among Arab Muslims. A columnist in the Yemen Times last week argued that violence against women is sometimes necessary to "preserve the morals and principles with which Islam has honored us." In Arab culture, where honor is prized and female sexual purity exalted, a family can be cast out if a female member brings shame upon it. Traditionally, the only way to restore peace is through violence. (Ron Dreher here)

"Honor killer" Yaser Said and his three younger brothers are very close. They take care of each other. This is as much a religious mandate  as it is familial. Muslims brothers take care of each other. I suspect it is Yaser's brothers who have set Yasir up in the Muslim underground. They have extensive connections and own real estate together in Texas, New York and even Indiana.

Yaser Abdel Said and his brother  set up a post office box in Covington, Texas (where the families once lived on a compound) on November 15, 2007, the same day that a separate box was being set up near property owned by the Saids in a small town in Shrub Oaks, New York.

There has been  activity at the post office box in Shrub Oaks  set up by one of the Said brothers on November 15, 2007 just days before the murder of the two desperate young girls.

One of the addresses that a younger Said brother is linked to is in Mohegan Lake, New York, that home is owned by a Muslim man who runs an Arabic translation company.

The Mohegan Lake home owner was one of the Arabic interpreters  in the USA V Al Qaeda 1998 case.  The Mohegan Lake home owner worked for the defendant Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al-Owhali and WADIH EL HAGE (who just happens to be from Arlington Texas, same as all of the Said brothers). The Arabic interpreter helped create a lot of confusion in the case for the defendants Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al-Owhali and WADIH EL HAGE  

USA v. Al Qaeda Docket, October 20, 2000 - Defendant Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al-Owhali present attorneys Robert Tucker and David I. Bruck,.

Three of the Said brothers have had apartments near  Wadih Al Hage in Arlington TX during the the same time frame --  the early 1990's and then 1997 to 1998 while Wadih was facing trial as a member of al qaeda.

The Arabic translator for Wadih El Hage's defense team, caused a whole lot of delays and problems with the translations of the surveillance wire taps in the trial of Wadih El Hage.  The translator is also from the same part of the Dallas Fort Worth area as Wadih El Hage and all of the Said brothers.

Yaser Abdel Said was in the same part of Arlington Texas in 1993 as  Wadih El Hage. They more than likely went to the same Mosque, the Central Arlington Mosque in Arlington, Texas  where El Hage and his family worshiped for years. It now calls itself the  Islamic Society of Arlington.

Wadih Al Hage was Osama bin-Laden's personal secretary in the Sudan prior to the 1998 US Embassy bombings and Wadih Al Hage went to prison (for life) for his part in the bombings.

Whether El Hage was a mediator or collaborator, evidence shows he was friends with many people who were later convicted in the World Trade Center and New York City Landmark bombing cases. On March 8, 1991, El Hage signed in to visit El Sayyid Nosair at the Riker's Island. Nosair was serving a sentence for gun charges stemming from the Meir Kahane murder case. Both El Sayyid Nosair and Mahmud Abouhalima were central figures in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and both have been convicted in that crime.

There are other unusual connections between the men. In January of 1992, El Hage was arrested in Arlington, Texas, for writing several bad checks. He was riding in the car with a companion named Marwan Salama. According to phone records from the World Trade Center case, Salama had extensive phone contacts with the World Trade center bombers in the two months before the actual bombing.

El Hage moved back to the suburban community of Arlington, Texas in 1997 and got a job in a local tire store. The family moved into a small apartment near the University of Texas and the children enrolled in a local Muslim school.   According to friends and neighbors contacted by FRONTLINE, the family lived a normal Muslim life, regularly attending Mosque and schooling their children in the Koran. "He was a hard worker, had a good business sense and was very devout," said his co-worker at the Lone Star Tire Store, Mahmoud Mazouni. "He became something of a religious leader, like an imam and sometimes led the prayers." 

Apparently,  Said has ties to Jihadis tied to al qaeda. That's who is helping to hide  him, the Muslim underground. It's no wonder Yasir told his wife, every time he goes to the shooting range, he is shooting an Americans.

It is more than curious that Yaser Abdel Said's brother just happens to link to an addresses in Mohegan Lake New York  and Shrub Oak,  New York when Yaser is on the run.

Shrub Oak NY is about 40 min ride via train from the Bronx section of New York City, which has 30 Islamic Centers or Mosques some with ties to the Al-Muhajiroun  (more on radicalized NY mosques here.)

There appears to be a  pattern with the Saids  of hiding their locations from public records.   

Ron Dreher wrote in the Dallas Morning News:

The legitimacy of male violence against rebellious women is by no means an extreme view among Arab Muslims. A columnist in the Yemen Times last week argued that violence against women is sometimes necessary to "preserve the morals and principles with which Islam has honored us." In Arab culture, where honor is prized and female sexual purity exalted, a family can be cast out if a female member brings shame upon it. Traditionally, the only way to restore peace is through violence.

According to a Dallas Morning News report, Yaser Said was a rage-filled, troubled man. Almost 10 years ago, his wife and daughters told police he was molesting the girls; they later recanted. He was not faithful to his prayers or his mosque. He was, it appears, a sociopath obsessed with female purity and willing to use violence to enforce his will. This kind of man exists in every society. But Mr. Said comes from a shame/honor culture in which this form of sociopathy is not only tolerated but validated as a positive social value.

What's more, experts say that while educated, urbane Arab Muslims don't practice honor killing, they tend not to condemn it, either. And not all Muslims leave this barbaric code behind when they emigrate to the West. In two separate meetings with members of this newspaper's editorial board, Mohamed Elmougy, a prominent North Texas Muslim community leader and Egyptian immigrant, defended violence, even deadly violence, against women and homosexuals. Though the term "honor killing" did not come up in either discussion, Mr. Elmougy explained that violence against sexual outlaws is acceptable to defend the family and the social order.

"The way we view it, we don't look at it as violent," he said. "We look at it as a deterrent."

Screenshot of the missing persons report filed by Yasir Said when the girls ran away. It clearly says Yaser was upset with Amina. Yaser admits it.  Two weeks before they left, there was a fight because Yaser found out about Amina's  NON- MUSLIM boyfriend. read the whole report. The cops should have removed those girls from the premises when the mother brought them back.
