Letting Obama Be Obama

By Paul Kengor from the July/August 2011

And in so doing the indispensable Valerie Jarrett insists on being allowed to be Valerie Jarrett, unvetted, unknown, unaccountable. Our July/August issue cover story.

The New York Times calls her Barack Obama’s “old hometown mentor,” “closest friend in the White House,” “all-purpose ambassador,” “skillful envoy,” “emissary,” and the “ultimate Obama insider.” The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank dubs her “the real center of Obama’s inner circle,” with ties to the president that are “deep and personal.” A profile in the Post’s “WhoRunsGov.com,” says she has been involved in “almost all” of Barack and Michelle Obama’s “major decisions.” The Wall Street Journal identifies her as the “essential member” of President Obama’s “inner set.” The Chicago Tribune proclaims her “the president’s right-hand woman.” Rahm Emanuel calls her “a very dear friend” and “valuable ally” to Barack Obama.

And Obama himself calls her one of his “oldest friends,” who is “like a sibling to me…I trust her completely.”

Who is this mystery woman of extraordinary influence? Who is this invisible hand behind Obama? She is Valerie Jarrett, President Obama’s close friend, confidant, and secret weapon, known to Washington insiders, but unknown to the folks in the hinterland.

If conservatives will pardon my comparison, when thinking of Valerie Jarrett’s influence on Barack Obama, I’m mindful of the influence of Judge William P. Clark on Ronald Reagan—minus the ideological chasm. Bill Clark was Reagan’s right-hand man, often literally at his right side. It was Clark who coined the conservative rally cry, “Let Reagan be Reagan.” No one was more inclined to let Reagan act on his instincts, protecting the conservative president from the pragmatists and the moderates, from the détente-niks, from the Rockefeller Republicans and RINO reprobates and blue-blood country-clubbers who would separate Reagan from his true beliefs.

That seems to be Valerie Jarrett’s role with Barack Obama. Jarrett is trying to let Obama be Obama, protecting the president from the pragmatists and moderates, from the Blue Dog Democrats and voices of sanity in foreign policy who would tug Obama from his true beliefs.

“We have kind of a mind meld,” Jarrett says of her and Obama. “And chances are, what he wants to do is what I’d want to do.”

And what might that be?

An American in Iran

VALERIE JARRETT was born Valerie Bowman in Shiraz, Iran, in November 1956. Her American parents were Dr. James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman. Her father was a geneticist and pathologist who helped run a children’s hospital in Shiraz as part of a U.S. aid program to assist developing countries in health and agriculture. The family left for London when Valerie was five years old, and eventually returned to Chicago in 1963. Because of her international upbringing—something she shares with Obama—Bowman received an excellent education and was speaking Persian, French, and English as an adolescent.

Valerie’s mother, a child psychologist, helped establish the Erikson Institute, which specialized in child development and advocacy. The Erikson Institute received funding from the Woods Charitable Fund, which years later included Barack Obama and Bill Ayers as board members. The institute tapped into not only private monies but the vast pool of public dollars unleashed by LBJ’s Head Start program. Like her daughter would one day, Barbara honed the craft of locating large sums of money (public especially) for her enterprises.

Valerie’s mother’s parents were Robert Rochon Taylor and Dorothy Taylor. Robert was the first African American head of the Chicago Housing Authority, and the son of an esteemed early African American architect. Dorothy, born in Berkeley, California in 1905, was active in Planned Parenthood, undeterred by—or not knowledgeable of—Margaret Sanger’s championing of racial eugenics, Sanger’s 1926 speech to a KKK rally in New Jersey, or Sanger’s Negro Project.

The Old Folks at Home

VALERIE ATTENDED Stanford as an undergrad, living at the African American themed Ujamaa House and earning a B.A. in psychology in 1978. She went on to University of Michigan Law School, where she got her J.D. in 1981.

Valerie quickly sought out jobs with law firms, getting hired at Chicago’s Sonnenschein, Carlin, Nath, and Rosenthal, specializing in the firm’s real-estate branch. She hated the job. “I would sit in that office and just cry,” she said later. “Cry my heart out. I’ve got to get out of here.”

Valerie Jarrett wanted to do much bigger things. She wanted to change the world.

In 1983, Valerie married Dr. William Robert Jarrett. William Robert Jarrett’s father, Vernon Jarrett, was a leftist columnist very well known in Chicago media.

In fact, in an irony rich with symbolism, Vernon in the late 1940s had served on the Citizens’ Committee to Aid Packing-House Workers with no less than Frank Marshall Davis, a Communist Party USA member who mentored a young Barack Obama in Hawaii. The committee met at 4859 South Wabash Avenue in Chicago. Vernon Jarrett was head of the group’s publicity committee. Frank Marshall Davis was one of the chairmen. Blogger Trevor Loudon found and posted an April 12, 1948, committee document featuring both Jarrett and Davis together on the front page. “The duty of this Committee,” proclaims the document, “is to give publicity to…the plight of the workers.”

Davis was also a leftist columnist, and he and Jarrett put their pens into joint service defending Chicago’s oppressed proletariat.

Frank Marshall Davis died in 1987. His recently released FBI file reveals, among other things, his CPUSA number, which was 47544. Predictably, the mainstream press has been silent on such scandalous facts regarding this mentor to Obama. A profile of Davis in Newsweek described the pro-Soviet communist as a “strong voice for racial justice” and champion of “civil rights and labor issues,” who had been harassed by a “McCarthyite denunciation by the House Un-American Activities Committee.” In truth, Davis had been summoned to testify before the Democratic-run Senate Judiciary Committee, which, in a formal 1957 report titled, “Scope of Soviet Activity in the United States,” had accurately concluded that he was “an identified member of the Communist Party.”

To think that that Davis—Obama’s Davis—had worked with Valerie Jarrett’s Vernon Jarrett is certainly intriguing.

Vernon Jarrett died in May 2004, whereupon he was quickly hailed in a Washington Post obit titled, “Vernon Jarrett, 84; Journalist, Crusader.” If those connections from the 1940s are not eye-opening enough, consider this one as well, involving Robert Taylor, Valerie’s maternal grandfather:

One of the most notorious Communist front groups ever was the American Peace Mobilization, created by the Soviet Comintern in concert with CPUSA, organized in the summer of 1940. Congress would rightly dub the American Peace Mobilization “one of the most seditious organizations which ever operated in the United States,” “one of the most notorious and blatantly Communist fronts ever organized in this country,” and an “instrument of the Communist Party line.”

The group’s goal was to keep America from going to war against Hitler or even providing Lend-Lease to nations like Britain being savaged by Hitler. The group took this position because, at the time, Stalin’s USSR was allied with Hitler. It was the Soviet line, and the ringleaders of the group were pro-Soviet patriots.

Among the antiwar rallies organized by the American Peace Mobilization was the 1st Illinois Conference of the National Negro Congress, held November 9–10, 1940, on the corner of 38th and Wabash streets in Chicago, held at the Wabash YMCA. Listed on the surviving letterhead for the event were several prominent American Communists, as well as endorsers like Frank Marshall Davis and, listed directly under Davis, Robert Taylor. Though no middle initial appears, this is almost certainly the same Robert R. Taylor who was Valerie Jarrett’s grandfather.

Robert R. Taylor of Chicago also appears in the major 1944 congressional report “Investigation of Un-American Propaganda Activities in the United States,” done by the Special Committee on Un-American Activities, House of Representatives, 78th Congress. On pages 609 and 2,100 of the voluminous report is Robert R. Taylor of Chicago. Taylor was flagged because of his role in the “Arrangements Committee” that organized the July 1939 Chicago Conference on Race Relations, which included as leaders several top national Communist figures.

This need not make Robert R. Taylor—nor Vernon Jarrett, in his case—a Communist, though it at least puts him squarely on the activist left. If he was not a Communist, then he was a duped liberal/progressive who was manipulated by Communists—Communists like Obama’s mentor, Frank Marshall Davis.

So, imagine where we are today: Barack Obama, Frank Marshall Davis’s political godson, and Valerie Jarrett, daughter-in-law to Vernon Jarrett and granddaughter of Robert Taylor—men with links to pro-Stalinism—are the two dominant figures in the White House, the power center that battled the USSR throughout the Cold War. It is a halting thought, and could only escape notice—as it has completely—in a dominant media culture that is shameless in its political biases.

Have Valerie Jarrett and Barack Obama ever taken a walk down memory lane, discussing this common political inheritance? It’s hard to imagine that they haven’t. And thus far, of course, none of our nation’s esteemed journalists seem to have bothered to ask either of them any questions about these Cold War relations.

The Chicago Machine

VALERIE'S MARRIAGE to Vernon Jarrett’s son didn’t last long. Valerie sums it up: “Married in 1983, separated in 1987, and divorced in 1988. Enough said.” Her husband died a few years later, in 1993. They had one child together, a daughter named Laura, who today attends Harvard Law.

Up to that point, Jarrett’s professional life involved law and community organizing. It was at this time, perhaps with a kick-start from her Chicago-renowned father-in-law, that Valerie began almost 20 years of involvement in Chicago politics, beginning in 1987 with a job with Mayor Harold Washington, the city’s first black mayor. She stayed on with Washington’s successor, Mayor Richard Daley, who eventually made Valerie his deputy chief of staff.

Significantly, it was Judd Miner, who formed a law firm with Allison Davis—Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland—who personally says that he recruited Valerie to the city’s Law Department, getting her initially involved with the Washington administration. Jarrett “wasn’t happy with private practice,” Miner told the Chicago Sun-Times, “and she wanted to get involved in the Washington administration.” The firm represented a number of groups that partnered with private developers to build and manage “affordable” housing. Speaking of whom, the firm’s partners were familiar with Chicago businessman Tony Rezko. (More on this momentarily.)

From here came a bunch of major jobs for Valerie, especially in the area of urban housing and development, continuing a path blazed by her maternal forebears a half century earlier.

Jarrett’s profile quickly rose.

Eventually, she became chief executive of a real-estate development and management company called The Habitat, as well as several key chairs and board appointments, ranging from the Chicago Transit Authority to Chicago Stock Exchange. All of these things gave Valerie Jarrett a reputation as someone involved in politics with an informed understanding of the business world—something that serves her to this day in the Obama White House.

The Rezko Connection

THE LIBERAL PRESS has avoided like the plague any mention of Tony Rezko in the life of Valerie Jarrett. In its two hagiographic puff-piece profiles of Jarrett, totaling more than 10,700 words, the New York Times mentioned Rezko just once. It was a mere parenthetical nod, dismissive and covering for Jarrett: “Jarrett did not dissuade Obama from involvement with the developer and influence peddler Tony Rezko, whom she regarded as ‘a snake,’ according to a friend.”

No more information from the Gray Lady on the “friend,” or anything Rezko-related.

Of course, it’s not that simple.

Rezko is a 50-something Syrian-born Chicago businessman specializing in real-estate development. He has also done political fundraising. He is the quintessential example of the corrupt Chicago machine and its unholy alliance between business and political interests.

As chief executive at The Habitat Co.—as well as her prior positions—Jarrett oversaw the management and development of huge housing projects in and around Chicago, including in Barack Obama’s district when he was an Illinois state senator. Those projects received huge infusions of government dollars, local and federal. They were also a wreck, suffering from pests, rats, mice, backed-up sewage in sinks, and drug dealers—to cite a short list of calamities. Ultimately, these facilities were seized by federal authorities and shut down because of their deplorable, squalid, unlivable conditions and litany of code violations.

In a striking irony, Jarrett would preside over the demolition of some of the very housing projects that bore the name of her grandfather.

A symbol of the disaster is the housing complex in Obama’s state district, Grove Parc Plaza, which had become uninhabitable because of unfixed problems ranging from fire damage to collapsed roofs. In one of the few national stories on this scandal, a shocking Boston Globe piece from June 2008 reported that in 2006 federal inspectors gave the complex of 504 apartments—which for eight years were part of Obama’s district—a grade of “11” on a 100-point scale. They were set for demolition.

“No one should have to live like this, and no one did anything about it,” said Cynthia Ashley, a resident at Grove Parc.The Globe reported that thousands of these apartments across Chicago, which had been built with local, state, and federal subsidies, including “several hundred” in Obama’s former district, had “deteriorated so completely that they were no longer habitable.” The Globe noted that Grove Parc and several other facilities “were developed and managed by Obama’s close friends and political supporters. Those people profited from the subsidies even as many of Obama’s constituents suffered.” Among those close friends and political supporters, the Globe highlighted the following:

Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Obama’s presidential campaign and a member of his finance committee. Jarrett is the chief executive of Habitat Co., which managed Grove Parc Plaza from 2001 until this winter [2008] and co-managed an even larger subsidized complex in Chicago that was seized by the federal government in 2006, after city inspectors found widespread problems.

Allison Davis, a major fund-raiser for Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign and a former lead partner at Obama’s former law firm. Davis, a developer, was involved in the creation of Grove Parc and has used government subsidies to rehabilitate more than 1,500 units in Chicago, including a North Side building cited by city inspectors last year after chronic plumbing failures resulted in raw sewage spilling into several apartments.

Antoin “Tony” Rezko, perhaps the most important fund-raiser for Obama’s early political campaigns and a friend who helped the Obamas buy a home in 2005. Rezko’s company used subsidies to rehabilitate more than 1,000 apartments, mostly in and around Obama’s district, then refused to manage the units, leaving the buildings to decay to the point where many no longer were habitable.

In a review of campaign finance records, the Globe reported that “six prominent developers,” including Jarrett, Davis, and Rezko, had “collectively contributed” more than $175,000 to Barack Obama’s campaigns over the last decade. More than that, they had “raised hundreds of thousands more from other donors.” Tony Rezko alone had raised at least $200,000, and that was (stated the Globe) “by Obama’s own accounting.”

The Globe piece also provided a brief early history of Chicago public housing, noting that in the mid-20th century, Chicago had constructed some of America’s largest developments, with the coup de grâce being the Robert Taylor Homes, which was a mass of more than 4,400 apartments sprawled across 28 high-rise buildings laid out for two miles along the interstate. These buildings were operated by the Chicago Housing Authority, as was another huge complex called Stateway Gardens, a dreadfully impoverished facility that, as the Globe noted, was “falling apart after decades of epic, sometimes criminal, mismanagement.”

What the Globe did not note, probably because it wasn’t familiar with the Valerie Jarrett bloodline noted earlier in this article, is that the Robert Taylor Homes were named for Valerie’s great-grandfather, and the CHA that ran them was headed by her grandfather: two Robert Taylors.

Decades later, into the next century, Valerie Jarrett oversaw the company that managed these facilities. She also served on the boards of several organizations that provided funding and financial support. Both Tony Rezko and Allison Davis (another close Obama figure) were intimately involved in these projects—or at least in their scandalous neglect.

As one local official put it, “the same exact people who ran these places into the ground,” were now “profiting by redeveloping them.”

Actually, in too many cases, they were failing to even redevelop them—though not failing to profit from the infusion of government dollars into their pockets. Among the largest recipients of subsidies was Rezko’s Rezmar Corp., which over nine years received some $87 million in government money to renovate nearly 1,000 dilapidated apartments. The folks in the “Rezmar buildings” constantly complained about their conditions, which never improved.

(Allison Davis has a similar story. He was Obama’s former law-firm boss. Among other projects, Davis was involved in the Grove Parc development. Davis left the law firm to concentrate on housing developments, an option made especially lucrative, as the Globe noted, by “subsidies from the Daley administration and aided, on occasion, by Obama himself.” Again, Valerie Jarrett worked for the Daley administration.)

Rezko was not only a personal friend of Obama but also helped raise money for Obama’s political campaigns. Rezko ultimately was arrested for fraud, bribery, and money laundering. In 2007, he was indicted on federal charges of fraud and influence peddling with the administration of disgraced Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. In 2008, Rezko was convicted on 16 of 24 counts of corruption. Today, Rezko is in prison as a convicted felon.

Obama himself has been connected to Rezko, so much so that Hillary Clinton couldn’t help but raise questions during a Democratic primary debate in South Carolina in January 2008, with Hillary accusing Obama of associating with a “slumlord.” Even the New York Times conceded that Hillary had a point, noting that “Obama did work for a law firm in Chicago and performed legal work involving Mr. Rezko’s housing developments.” Just two days prior to the debate, Obama returned more than $40,000 in political contributions that, as the Times reported, “were linked to Mr. Rezko.”

The liberal media has let Obama off the hook with Rezko. It has done likewise, but more so, with Valerie Jarrett, whose very business dealt precisely with Rezko’s housing developments.

In November 2008, Judicial Watch obtained documents from the Illinois secretary of state linking Jarrett to several housing projects (and thus scandals) operated by Rezko. “Like Barack Obama, Valerie Jarrett is a product of the corrupt Chicago political machine,” noted Judicial Watch’s Tom Fitton. “And it is no stretch to say that she was a slumlord.”

When Valerie Met the Obamas

IN JULY 1991, during her stint as deputy chief of staff to Mayor Daley, Jarrett met a young lawyer named Michelle Robinson, who worked for the firm Sidley Austin. Michelle had been flagged by Jarrett’s co-worker, Susan Sher. The two met and hit it off. Jarrett was already considered a power broker in Chicago political circles, which Michelle surely sensed. Michelle told Jarrett she should meet another young lawyer named Barack Obama, her fiancé. Jarrett agreed, and the three had a long dinner together at a restaurant called Café Le Loup: the start of an even longer relationship.

As Valerie later recalled the meeting, “Barack felt extraordinarily familiar.” She and Barack “shared a view of where the United States fit in the world.” As David Remnick translates this in his biography of Obama, this was a more “objective” view of America as a nation that was not “the center of all wisdom and experience.” This was not an exceptional America.

Valerie would become super-close to both Obamas, and especially to Barack and his political horizons, becoming arguably his top adviser over the course of two decades of campaigning and governing. At each crucial step along the path to power, Barack paused to check the boxes with Valerie, and she opened doors and greased the skids. One could argue that no other person on the planet has done more to help the Obamas get to where they are today.

The relationship became as deeply personal as political. Valerie has long vacationed with the Obamas in Martha’s Vineyard.

By the spring of 2008, Valerie Jarrett was a force in the presidential campaign of the political dynamo that was Barack Obama. A Newsweek profile that May called her the “insider-outsider,” one with no formal title other than “senior adviser”—presaging her White House role to come.

2008 and Beyond

SO CRUCIAL had been Valerie Jarrett to Barack Obama’s Washington ascendancy that it was no surprise that her name was being widely floated as the top candidate to fill Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat once the Boy Wonder won the presidency in November 2008.

In fact, the word was that Obama himself wanted Jarrett to assume his seat. CNN reported: “A prominent Democratic source close to Barack Obama confirmed that Valerie Jarrett is Obama’s choice to replace him in the Senate.”

It was Michelle who vetoed the decision. “She came down very hard,” Jarrett herself recounted, “saying that’s not what she wanted me to do. She said, ‘We need you in the White House….You’ve come all this way, and you thought this was a good idea, and now you’re gonna bail on me? No way!’”

Barack told her likewise. Valerie went to the White House.

But there’s more to the story, which could get really interesting with the coming corruption retrial of former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Among the high-profile witnesses who might get called to the stand is Valerie Jarrett. According to a May 21 AP report, Blagojevich “allegedly offered” to appoint Jarrett to Obama’s vacated Senate seat if Obama, in return, gave the former governor a top administration post. To the contrary, says the AP, “there’s no evidence” that Jarrett, Obama, or anyone else around Obama tried to cut a deal with Blagojevich.

This is an issue that very well could be raised in the retrial. If so, Jarrett’s name could suddenly become prominent in press coverage.

“Someone I Trust Completely”

REGARDLESS, by 2010, Valerie Jarrett had become one of three crucial senior advisers to the president of the United States. Her influence has been nothing short of remarkable.

As Michelle Obama told the New York Times, Jarrett “automatically understands” the “values” and “vision” of the Obamas. She is “never afraid” to tell them the truth. “She knows the buttons, the soft spots, the history, the context.”

Like her husband, Michelle speaks of Valerie like a sibling. Actually, that and more: “Like a mom, a big sister, I trust her implicitly.”

Barack says Valerie is “someone I trust completely.” “She is family.” As president, he trusts Jarrett “to speak for me, particularly when we’re dealing with delicate issues.”

But what, precisely, does that mean? What does Valerie Jarrett personally believe? How far to the left, or perhaps nearer the center, are her politics? Is she the red-diaper heir to radical Chicago leftists from a half century ago? Has she rejected her forebears’ hard-left politics?

Alas, that’s the lingering frustration and great mystery regarding Obama’s closest friend and adviser—a virtual state secret happily cloaked by a liberal media that serves as the Obama administration’s de facto propaganda arm.

Jarrett was certainly raised a leftist, and almost certainly remains one. Unfortunately, her ideology is the single most elusive question that remains after reading the litany of hagiographic profiles by the mainstream media. The dominant press has not even remotely touched upon her personal politics. If anything, journalists try to pass her off as a centrist, a reasonable, level-headed businesswoman, with all the attendant exaggerations we have come to expect from newspapers like the New York Times. She is portrayed as the sole embodiment of the Seven Wise Men, advising King Solomon himself—who, naturally, is also a centrist. And, of course, both Jarrett and Obama are just oh-so-smart.

The liberal media was pushing this centrist imagery (for both Jarrett and Obama) in 2008–09, well before the November 2010 landslide GOP victory that prompted Obama to consider overtures to the center.

On the other hand, we can reasonably assume that Jarrett is a leftist like her boss. From their first meeting together 20 years ago, they possessed (in Jarrett’s words) a “shared view of where the United States fit in the world.” Today, as Obama himself has said, he trusts her completely to speak for him. Obama runs every major issue by Jarrett. We can thus assume as well that she spoke for them both when in August 2009 she introduced the radical Marxist “Green Jobs Czar” Van Jones at the Netroots Nation Convention, and praised him as someone “we were so delighted to be able to recruit… into the White House.” A month later, Jones was forced to resign after his support of 9/11 “truthers” came to light.

Obama and Jarrett are practically political alter-egos. And as Jarrett has said, she and the president have a “mind meld” working together, and what he wants to do is what she wants to do. From November 2008 to November 2010, that was a radical-left agenda, a major progressive push toward a leviathan federal government: $800-billion “stimulus” package, Keynesian economics, wealth redistribution, nationalizing GM, funding embryonic research and Planned Parenthood International, bashing “profits” and corporate “fat cats,” berating the finance industry, orchestrating show trials of AIG executives, ObamaCare, a record $1.6 trillion deficit, massive debt levels, and on and on.

What does seem clear—and might further fuel the mainstream media’s collective bid to frame Jarrett as a centrist—is that she does seem sensitive to the political damage that Obama’s hard-left inclinations have created with the business world. For instance, when Obama held a town hall meeting in Elkhart, Indiana, where he shook his finger at CEOs and admonished them about taking trips to Las Vegas or the Super Bowl, it was reportedly Jarrett who made clear to Obama that this was a gaffe that was hurting the hospitality industry and the already unfavorable image of him in the business community.

That’s the image of Jarrett pushed in a major profile in the July 26, 2009, New York Times, which underscored her “savvy and objectivity” as a professional businesswoman,” her “street cred with the private sector,” and her alleged “exquisite business corrections.” The Times said that Jarrett “was ever helpful” to Obama with “midcourse corrections.”

Ah, but be mindful of the timeline here: at this point, July 2009, there weren’t many (if any) discernible “midcourse corrections” in the Obama administration. This was the summer of Obama’s first year, when any corrections were so scant that an entire Tea Party movement had sprung up in open rebellion. There was no midcourse correction until after the midterm elections.

And now, with Obama actually pursuing some midcourse corrections following the Democrats’ November 2010 midterm bloodletting, the media is especially toeing the Jarrett-Obama-centrist line. “She is a consensus builder who reinforces Obama’s tendency toward centrism,” said a February 2011 Chicago Tribune profile.

What all of this means going forward remains to be seen.

Significantly, though, Valerie Jarrett has stayed on at the White House while the other two top advisers in Obama’s troika have headed back to the Windy City. As of the start of this year, she remains as Rahm Emanuel and David Axelrod have both headed back to Chicago, solidifying her strength even more. Already in possession of a vast, ever-widening portfolio of her choosing, she has the sudden added advantage of cherry-picking new duties left behind by Emanuel and Axelrod.

As Dana Milbank reported in the Post, this leaves Jarrett, Obama’s “longtime mentor and friend,” in a “position of unparalleled influence over the president.”

More than that, for Emanuel’s replacement Obama has picked none other than Bill Daley, the younger brother to former Chicago mayor Richard Daley, who had made Valerie his deputy chief of staff more than two decades ago. And Daley indeed has a reputation as a political pragmatist.

Formally, Jarrett is senior adviser and assistant to the president for something called “intergovernmental affairs and public engagement.” Informally, she’s much more.

“Less formally” still, adds the New York Times, she has helped Obama “preserve his essential self.” Obama says he will continue to “absolutely” run every decision by her.

As the Times says, Jarrett is the “guardian” of Obama’s “authenticity.”

Valerie Jarrett is the power aside the throne who is letting Obama be Obama. America saw what that looked like in 2009 and 2010. But what exactly will it mean between now and November 2012, or even in a potential second term? The one thing we can be sure about is that Valerie Jarrett will have a say.

THE WHITE HOUSE SHELL GAME

2011-11-01T19:01:00.000-07:00

By Marshall Frank

I’m beginning to catch on to the strategy.

It’s like the shell game. Keep the public and the media watching the problems with the economy, while another sinister agenda is going on unchallenged and out of sight.

Meanwhile, the U.S. government may have killed a few despots and terrorists in foreign lands to make it look like a successful war against terrorism is being waged. The Obama-loving media likes that very much. Kudos to the president. Don’t look anywhere else.

Well, some of us do look elsewhere.

On September 1st, I wrote a detailed blog article about the Muslim Brotherhood’s successful infiltration and positions of trust they’ve gained in, of all places, the White House. This was first brought to my attention in a speech made by a secular Muslim, Tarek Fatah, in Canada where he warned people that Barack Obama was employing people connected to the Muslim Brotherhood in advisory positions of trust. When I investigated, I found it to be true. Here was my article then:

Click here:INFILTRATING THE WHITE HOUSE

By now, I would hope most Americans are fully aware of who and what the Muslim Brotherhood stands for: Islamic domination on a global scale, either through violence or deception, while feigning to be moderate. There are hundreds of investigatory books and documents which have chronicled that fact.

Therefore, one would think that our president and his cabinet would be super alert and careful to prevent any risks to national security. Not only is that not happening, the risks to national security are being breached by the hour, every day, while we citizens and our media look the other way.

Fortunately, there are a few who are pressing the issue.

In addition to the Islamists named in my article on September 1st, we now learn from former FBI Agent, John Guandolo, that additional Islamists connected to the MB are working in other areas of government, including the Department of Homeland Security, namely Arif Alikhan and Koreem Shora, who is Janet Napolitano’s senior policy advisor. These , and others, have had close associations with sleazy Islamists and are deeply rooted in many Islamic organizations in the U.S. many of which have been identified as being formed by or closely aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood. There can be no good to come of this gross breach of national security. And, the world of radical Islam are getting everything they want.

For the full article, read:

Click here: Third Muslim Brotherhood Figure in Obama White House Identified, Plus in U.S. Navy

More. Recently, Janet Napolitano was grilled by Congressman, Louie Gohmert, of Texas, about hiring and swearing in Mohamed Elibiary as a Homeland Security Senior Advisor, with access to classified information and top secrets. Elibiary has allegedly been attempting to leak intelligence and shop classified information to the media. Elibiary was known to have attended a special honorary function where he gave a speech in support of Ayatollah Khomeini, the Irani cleric who radicalized Iran basically helped to start WW III. Napolitano played dumb.

This is what’s going on folks. If we can learn this much, there’s a lot more going on behind the scenes that we don’t know.

Feeling safer?

And no one questions why Obama called for the removal of Hosni Mubarak from the rule over Egypt? Mubarak had declared the Muslim Brotherhood to be outlawed. Today, the Muslim Brotherhood is sitting pretty, poised to assume leadership over the Egyptian government.

And no one questions why Obama has called for Israel to return to 1967 borders, which fits perfectly into the Muslim Brotherhood goals.

Can’t anyone see what is happening here?

Meanwhile, keep your eye on the economy. Don’t look anywhere else, CNN, CBS, NBC, ABC, NY Times, Washington Post, etc., etc. You too, Fox News. If you’re going to report important information then get started. Herman Cain’s flirtations of the 1990s is all the headlines, while our government has got the fox guarding the hen house.

Then, there is the closest aid to Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State, in the form of Huma Abedin, who was raised in Saudi Arabia, and whose brother is aligned with the Muslim Brotherhood in Oxford, England, and mother is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood. This woman has access to the inner circle of security within our State Department. If she applied to be a local cop or FBI agent, she’d never get past the first round of security clearance. But she’s inside the State Deparment. And we don’t care?

Where HaveAll The Leaders Gone?

2011-11-01T07:58:00.001-07:00

Just as true today as it was when his book first came out. He was, and still is, a brilliant businessman!

Often we need to be reminded of Iacocca's words.

Remember Lee Iacocca, the man who rescued Chrysler Corporation from its death throes? He's now 82 years old and has a new book, 'Where Have All The Leaders Gone?'. Lee Iacocca Says:

'Am I the only guy in this country who's fed up with what's happening? Where the hell is our outrage with this so called president? We should be screaming bloody murder! We've got a gang of tax cheating clueless leftists trying to steer our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even run a ridiculous cash-for-clunkers program without losing $26 billion of the taxpayers' money, much less build a hybrid car. But instead of getting mad, everyone sits around and nods their heads when the politicians say, 'trust me the economy is getting better..'

Better? You've got to be kidding. This is America' not the damned, 'Titanic'. I'll give you a sound bite: 'Throw all the Democrats out along with Obama!' You might think I'm getting senile, that I've gone off my rocker, and maybe I have. But someone has to speak up. I hardly recognize this country anymore.. The most famous business leaders are not the innovators but the guys in handcuffs.. While we're fiddling in Afghanistan , Iran is completing their nuclear bombs and missiles and nobody seems to know what to do. And the liberal press is waving 'pom-poms' instead of asking hard questions. That's not the promise of the 'America' my parents and yours traveled across the ocean for. I've had enough. How about you?

I'll go a step further. You can't call yourself a patriot if you're not outraged. This is a fight I'm ready and willing to have. The Biggest 'C' is Crisis! (Iacocca elaborates on nine C's of leadership, with crisis being the first.)

Leaders are made, not born. Leadership is forged in times of crisis. It's easy to sit there with thumb up your butt and talk theory. Or send someone else's kids off to war when you've never seen a battlefield yourself. It's another thing to lead when your world comes tumbling down. On September 11, 2001, we needed a strong leader more than any other time in our history. We needed a steady hand to guide us out of the ashes. A hell of a mess, so here's where we stand. We're immersed in a bloody war now with no plan for winning and no plan for leaving. But our soldiers are dying daily.

We're running the biggest deficit in the history of the world, and it's getting worse every day! We've lost the manufacturing edge to Asia , while our once-great companies are getting slaughtered by health care costs. Gas prices are sky rocking again, and nobody in power has a lucid plan to open drilling to solve the problem. This country has the largest oil reserves in the WORLD, and we cannot drill for it because the politicians have been bought by the flea-hugging environmentalists.

Our schools are in a complete disaster because of the teachers union. Our borders are like sieves and they want to give all illegal's amnesty and free healthcare. The middle class is being squeezed to death every day. These are times that cry out for leadership. But when you look around, you've got to ask: 'Where have all the leaders gone?' Where are the curious, creative communicators? Where are the people of character, courage, conviction, omnipotence, and common sense? I may be a sucker for alliteration, but I think you get the point. Name me a leader who has a better idea for homeland security than making us take off our shoes in airports and throw away our shampoo? We've spent billions of dollars building a huge new bureaucracy, and all we know how to do is react to things that have already happened.

Everyone's hunkering down, fingers crossed, hoping the government will make it better for them. Now, that's just crazy.. Deal with life. Name me an industry leader who is thinking creatively about how we can restore our competitive edge in manufacturing. Who would have believed that there could ever be a time when 'The Big Three' referred to Japanese car companies? How did this happen, and more important, look what Obama did about it!

Name me a government leader who can articulate a plan for paying down the debit, or solving the energy crisis, or managing the health care problem. The silence is deafening. But these are the crises that are eating away at our country and milking the middle class dry.

I have news for the Chicago gangsters in Congress. We didn't elect you to turn this country into a losing European Socialist state. What is everybody so afraid of? That some bonehead on NBC or CNN news will call them a name? Give me a break. Why don't you guys show some spine for a change? Had Enough? Hey, I'm not trying to be the voice of gloom and doom here. I'm trying to light a fire. I'm speaking out because I have hope I believe in America. In my lifetime, I've had the privilege of living through some of America's greatest moments. I've also experienced some of our worst crises: The 'Great Depression,' 'World War II,' the 'Korean War,' the 'Kennedy Assassination,' the 'Vietnam War,' the 1970's oil crisis, and the struggles of recent years since 9/11.

WALL STREET DEMONSTRATORSMORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

2011-10-17T14:35:00.000-07:00

By Marshall Frank

An old friend recently wrote me with these comments about the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street demonstrators:

“…non-violent protesters are being arrested for no reason. As for the … the tea party, the number one thing wrong with their mentality is that they are selfishly cruel; not giving a damn about the downtrodden of our society. They represent the worst of all human failings, narrow-minded ignorance.”

When I asked this friend to articulate what, specifically, makes the Tea Party “…selfish, cruel, uncaring of downtrodden, represent the worst of human failings, narrow-minded ignorance…” she did not, or could not be specific. I found the comments incomprehensible, particularly from an otherwise intelligent person, as though she was parroting the Left-Wing anthem by rote.

Many pundits compare the Occupy Wall Streeters to the Tea Party, but there is no legitimate comparison. And to claim that protesters are being arrested for no reason at all is more regurgitation of the party line, as though it were a script.

The Occupy Wall Street demonstrations could best be evaluated in Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s remark, “God bless them, for their spontaneity.” She said a mouthful.

First, in one sentence she revealed that the movement — which basically calls for America to evolve from capitalism to socialism — is supported and endorsed by the extreme left wing of the Democratic Party. And, considering that thousands of marchers could not undergo such a venture without substantial funding, it raises suspicion of where that money is coming from.

Second, by endorsing the demonstrations, she and other politicians like her, basically approve — de facto – of the actions of the demonstrators which has included the breaking of laws. Many hundreds have been arrested for blocking roads and bridges, dumping trash, vandalism and disorderly conduct.

Third, Mrs. Pelosi does the conservative right wing a great favor just by opening her mouth. Stating that these demonstrations are “spontaneous” is not only a lie, it insults the intelligence of every American who’s listening. The demonstrations are about as spontaneous as the Battle of Bull Run. The “spontaneous” comment was intended to manipulate the minds of Americans to give the marchers more innocence and legitimacy than they deserve.

Then again, it was Mrs. Pelosi who coined the brilliant remark regarding health care, “We have to pass the bill so you can find out what’s in it.”

Having served in Miami-Dade as a cop for thirty tumultuous years, I learned a lot about “spontaneous” street demonstrations, civil disobedience and violence. Riots and marches are never spontaneous. They are rooted in the back rooms of planners and agitators who plot strategy with a long range purpose to create change, good or bad.

Riots are usually instigated by a few, which catch fire and ignite the masses into violent behavior. As mobs escalate into a frenzy stage, some simply get out of control. That results in destruction of property, injury and sometimes worse.

It’s usually part of the strategy. Demonstrators and rioters intend on being arrested and hope to get their pictures taken in the process, all for the purpose of making the “establishment” look bad and to engender sympathy for their cause via media. Their bond money and legal fees are already pre-funded.

Many times, during street confrontations, I watched the behavior of demonstrators instantly change from passive to aggressive when the red light of television cameras came on. It was like Stephen Spielberg had just hollered “Action!”

Spontaneous? Hardly.

For police it’s the old “rock and a hard place.” They are compelled to act when laws are broken. Contrary to popular belief, police officers do not wake up every morning hoping to falsely arrest people in the streets. It’s a no choice situation.

Outside of ideology, the biggest differences between the Tea Party and the Occupy Wall Street groups are in outright signs and actions depicting bigotry and anti-Semitism by the Occupiers. Tea Party demonstrators do not espouse bigotry, racism or anti-Semitism) Check out the links below.

Then, there is the Egyptian fellow who was invited to speak, representing himself as an example of revolutionary change when he protested in his country earlier this year. What he didn’t tell anyone, was that those protests and uprisings were rooted in the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the most notorious, fundamentalist Islamist organization in the world with sights fixed on world domination. (See video below) So much for the pillars of Occupy Wall Street.

Meanwhile, Americans are constitutionally guaranteed the right to protest and assemble. Though I don’t agree with their message, demonstrators of Occupy Wall Street are exercising their rights so long as they are peaceful and do not break laws. Their goals and objectives are diminished, however, when they can’t respect the law and the rights of others.

Most would admit, some of their basic grievances are actually valid regarding jobs and the economy. But they are barking up the wrong street for redress. They should consider redirecting their protest marches from Wall Street to the White House, as suggested by Herman Cain.

Yes, the economy was slipping badly when Bush left office. This president has had almost three years to make a difference, and the hole keeps getting deeper.

TIME TO IMPEACH BARACK OBAMA

2011-10-01T11:06:00.000-07:00

By Marshall Frank

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

— Presidential Oath Of Office

Preserving, Defending and Protecting the Constitution of the United States includes upholding statutes enacted by duly elected legislators at the state and federal levels.

There may be thousands of police chiefs in the United States who do not agree with laws against marijuana, prostitution and/or gambling. But according to the oath of his/her office, a chief is sworn to enforce the existing laws of the state and may not arbitrarily elect to ignore those to which he personally disagrees. If any chief ordered his officers to withhold making arrests for acts of statutory crime, he would be fired on the spot and banished from law enforcement.

A president — also a chief — does not, nor should he, have the authority to cherry-pick laws he wants to enforce, and those he does not. Just like local and state laws, it’s the congress’ job to enact laws, it is the executive branches of government’s job to enforce them.

William Jefferson Clinton faced impeachment for a moral violation which had nothing to do with his presidential policies and decisions, and therefore, no impact on the citizens of the country. Yet, the congress went after him voraciously trying to boot him out of office for a personal transgression that ended up mired in whether fellatio can be defined as an act of sex.

While the media focuses on the economy as Barack Obama’s likely downfall, the American people are becoming more aware each day of other nightmarish aspects of the Obama presidency, which the media continues to downplay.

This president has made decisions and policies that are negatively impacting all citizens of this country. Not only is he cherry-picking laws he doesn’t want enforced for political purposes, those decisions have jeopardized the security and safety of our citizens, the safety of our military and the safety of our closest ally: Israel.

Where do I begin?

1) Start with Aiding and Abetting the Breaking of Laws. In August of this year, the president signed an executive order authorizing the DOJ and other federal agencies to abstain from enforcing immigration laws. By doing this, the president has circumvented the legislative process after failing to gain enough support for his campaign toward immigration reform. That sends a message to law breakers that breaking the law will have no consequences. When there are no consequences for breaking laws, laws are guaranteed to be broken, thus further jeopardizing the security of our citizens. In every sense, this action fails to uphold the constitution.

In addition, Obama has bypassed Congress by using the back-door process to basically grant amnesty to over 300,000 illegal aliens and provide them with work permits. This is clearly a political act designed to garner future voters, and certainly not in the best interest of the citizens of United States.

2) The president, via his administrative subordinates, audaciously filed suit against the state of Arizona, then enjoined foreign bodies (the U.N.) and nations (Mexico) in seeking support against that sovereign state of the U.S. — our own citizens — who passed a lawful bill providing law enforcement with authority to ( get this) — ask for I.D. This is a mind blower.

A Police Officer’s fundamental job is to ask for I.D. from people who they see violating a law or traffic infraction. It is basic. Yet, the president disregarded the will of the people (70% in favor of the law). Furthermore, he ventured outside the borders of the country that elected him to seek support from other political bodies that did not elect him (some of whom hate the U.S.) to garner support for his position favoring illegal immigration. This is not protecting or defending the constitution. It is tantamount to treason.

(For those of you who parrot the suggestion that illegal immigration is a concern for federal officers only, ask yourself: Is the job of catching bank robbers limited to the FBI? Bank robbery is a federal crime, but local cops are duty bound to apprehend and arrest bank robbers… with the support of all citizens, including the federal government.)

3) Failing to adequately secure the borders of the United States from foreign invasion, in violation of Article IV, Section 4, of the Constitution. Despite pleas by citizens, sheriffs and state governors, the flow of illegal immigrants from Mexico, to and including drug dealers, thieves, robbers, rapists and terrorists, have been documented by law enforcement and the media. (This one could extend for several pages)

4) Publically calling for a return to pre-1967 borders, in support of the Palestinian position and against the hard-fast defensive position of the Israeli government, our supposed ally. When Israel pulled out of Lebanon and out of Gaza, they were met, not with peace, but with more rockets and murders. Thus, based on factual history, Israel’s unwavering position is that a return to old borders would be tantamount to national suicide. Yet, this president has disregarded the imminent danger that faces Israel and openly proposed a position that has emboldened Israel’s enemies.

5) Authorizing military engagement in acts of war within the Republic of Libya in March, 2011 without the approval of the Congress, violating Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of our United States Constitution. Also, the support of activities that would call for the assassination of another head of state. This was a country that did not attack — nor threaten to attack — the United States, nor our allies, which is a direct violation of engaging our resources in any military action against another country.

6) Employing persons with known alliances to the Muslim Brotherhood in the White House, presenting a breach of national security to the United States. Mounds of intelligence information exists, including evidence from the Holy Land Foundation trial, plus and evidence from foreign seizures by law enforcement, that identify the Muslim Brotherhood as an enemy of the United States, fully engaged in an active campaign of stealth jihad, with sights set on establishing an Islamic caliphate in the West, which — in other words — would spell the overthrow of our country. This, plus the employment of a trusted aid at the highest level within the State Department whose relatives have strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Sisterhood, represents and ignores a threat to national security.

7) Entering into an Agreement with Egypt’s rebels, headed by the Muslim Brotherhood, a foreign power, to sell 125 tanks, violating Article 1, Section 10, Clause 3 of our United States Constitution. To Wit: ” No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, lay any duty of Tonnage, keep Troops, or Ships of War in time of Peace, enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State, or with a foreign Power, or engage in War, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.”

Authorizing the Attorney General of the United States to dismiss charges against members of the New Black Panther Party, charged with racially intimidating voters at a Philadelphia polling -place in 2008. Clearly, this was a violation of federal law for which the violators were duly charged. Dropping the case led to the angry resignation of a U.S. District trial attorney, in protest. This is another example of failing to enforce existing laws, and aiding and abetting law breakers in violation of the presidential oath of office.

9) Overseeing a federal program, “Operation Fast and Furious” authorizing illicit gun running and sales of 2,000-plus firearms to foreign insurgents (criminals) within Mexico, which has resulted in the deaths of more than one hundred victims, plus the killing of a Border Patrol agent. This case is still under congressional investigation which, if determined to be true, should head the list for impeachment of the president, i.e. aiding and abetting criminal activity, in violation of his oath of office.

10) April, 2009, the president authorized the release of four internal Justice Department memos on terrorist interrogation techniques, thereby emasculating anti-terrorist intelligence operations and endangering the lives of many agents. This was done contrary to the pleas and advice of his CIA director, four prior CIA directors and numerous other experts on covert operations. Whether the past practices were proper or not, this unnecessary release of information was not in the best interest of our national security. To the contrary, it added to its jeopardy and further emboldened our enemies to continue their terrorist conduct.

Anyone can scan “Google” where they will find many articles listing anywhere from five to fifty reasons why Mr. Obama should be impeached. This article doesn’t even touch on the issues of government take-overs of private banks and businesses, the misappropriation of funds and the corrupt arm-twisting that led to persuading some senators to vote for a bill they were opposed to, until special favors were awarded. Nor did this article mention how special interest groups — supporters of the president — were categorically excluded from the new Health Care mandates, including unions and certain religious groups. Nor does it address the Solyndra scandal — still under scrutiny — pertaining to the utter waste of a half billion tax dollars bailing out a private corporation that went bankrupt a year later. Nor does it mention the still-pending question of Obama’s legitimacy as a sitting president, and the mystery surrounding his social security number — registered in Connecticut — that belongs to dead man.

This article could extend four times this length if I was to touch on everything that reeks rotten about Barack Obama, including his sordid associations of his pre-senatorial years. Any one of these concerns listed (above), if not impeachable are at the least egregious and un-American and at the most, illegal. No president in history has engendered so much distrust, animosity and outright fear of his hidden motives for holding the most important office in America. Other presidents may have been less successful, less competent and overly political, but none were ever suspected of being utterly un-American and disloyal to the constitution, or in cahoots with enemies of the United States.

These sentiments are shared by millions of Americans, not limited to Republicans or Tea Party groups. Just start Googling — the disgust is showered all over the Internet by those who choose to read beyond the New York Times. Hopefully, that will translate to new blood in the Oval Office in 2012.

This is not a Republican/Democrat issue. This is an issue concerning national security and the future stability for our children, regardless of party. No matter who opposes Obama in 2012, (if he is not already impeached) it is imperative to all America that he is ushered out of the White House and into historical oblivion. There should never be a statue of him erected anywhere in the United States, including Washington D.C. – not by taxpayer funds anyway.

I’ll list a few links, there are scores more if you want to go digging.

The 9/11 Anniversary Question"

2011-09-11T05:50:00.000-07:00

Question: Can you trust a "moderate muslim"?

Answer: IF a muslim friend or acquaintance faces Mecca to Pray... that person's holy book explicitly instructs true believers that It Is Acceptable to Lie (Taqiyya) with Nnash (nullify, with religious permission) to non-believers, pagans and infidels, for the purposes of conversion, or at the very least to subdue them, then to dominate them with terror, or to kill them.

Read The Holy Qur'an

Allah's Apostle said, "I have become victorious with terror." Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, #220

"War is Deceit" - Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, #269

"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore, strike off their heads, and strike off every fingertip of them." - Qur'an 8:12

"Fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and lie in wait for them in every strategem of war. - Qur'an 9:5

Weiner Fallout And The Muslim Connection
by Marshall Frank

The fallout from the Anthony Weiner fiasco includes a mystery no one yet has resolved, especially the media which is ignoring it like the plague. Make that: Two mysteries*

Mystery # 1) How is it that Anthony Weiner, a Jew, married a devout Muslim woman, and vice-versa?

Mystery #2) How is it that a devout Muslim woman with strong ties to the notorious Muslim Brotherhood is working within a trusted position in the highest levels of the Department of State?

Here are the facts as we know them:

1. - Anthony Weiner, a Jewish U.S. Congressman from New York, (now resigned) married Huma Abedin, a practicing Muslim woman, in 2010.

Ex-President Bill Clinton officiated.

2. - Huma Abedin was born in Michigan, but grew up in Saudi Arabia, the daughter of devout Muslim parents. She was later educated in the U.S. and remains a devout, practicing Muslim.

3. - At age 20, Huma Abedin started working as a White House assistant to then first lady, Hillary Clinton in 1996, and has been by Mrs.. Clinton's side ever since. She now holds the position of Aide and Deputy Chief of Staff to Sec. Hillary Clinton in the State Department.

4. - According to numerous sources, which has not been denied or refuted, the mother of Huma Abedin - a Pakistani - is a member of the Muslim Sisterhood, or, the women's division of the MuslimBrotherhood.

5. - Huma Abedin's brother is a fellow with the Oxford Centre For Islamic Studies, which is heavily supported by the Muslim Brotherhood.

6. - Islamic scholars and experts confirm that no Muslim woman - especially devout Muslims and members of the sisterhood - may marry a non-Muslim man, yet a Jew, unless that man has converted to Islam.

7. - It is well known, especially in intelligence circles including the CIA and the FBI, that the Muslim Brotherhood is the most notorious global, anti-American, jihadist organization in the world, with long range sights set upon establishing an Islamic caliphate in the west. (That means, converting America into an Islamic nation, folks). According to their own documents - authored by the highest levels in the MB - America is destined to be settled as an Islamic nation, and that it will use deceit and infiltration to accomplish this goal from within. FROM WITHIN! Readers tend to gloss over this, but it is as important as Mein Kampf was to the burgeoning Nazi movement in 1930s Germany that so many ignored. You've read it before. Here, again, is their language taken from the Muslim Brotherhood manifesto, introduced at the Holy Land Foundation trial:

"The process of settlement is a "Civilization-Jihadist Process" with all the means. The Ikhwan [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 Allah's religion is made victorious."

Conclusions:

The Muslim Brotherhood - or its affiliations - has infiltrated the highest levels of our government.

Hillary Clinton is either in denial, stupid, naive or complicit in having such a person with ties to the MB working within the highest levels of the State Department. That goes for the president as well.

There is certainly more to the story of the Weiner wedding, which we don't know about. If Anthony Weiner, in fact, converted to Islam, it was done surreptitiously because it would have been a death knell to his political career. And, if so, Weiner certainly knew of the Muslim Brotherhood connections of his wife.

If the Islamic community has approved of, or ignores the marriage between Jewish born Weiner and Huma Abedin, it can be logically concluded that they - the Islamic community - know something we don't. An Imam from the Islamic Cultural center of New York, Omar Abu-Namous, not only approved of the union, he has encouraged Huma Abedin to stand by her man during the cybersex scandal. Thus, it must be advantageous to the goals of Islamic jihad and the MB to have Huma Abedin inside the bowels of the Department of State with daily access to governmental intelligence. Therefore, her "marriage" to a U.S. congressman, regardless of religion, was openly accepted.

That, folks, is an example of "Taqiyya" which I've often written about. Taqiyya is the Islamic equivalent to using lies, deceit and concealment in order to advance the cause of spreading Islam. The 9/11 al Qaeda terrorists blended with American society for months prior to the deadly attack, drinking alcohol, carousing with women and eating pork, in order to conceal who they truly were, in order to carry out their mission.

Their mission was to infiltrate and kill. The mission of the Muslim Brotherhood is to infiltrate and conquer, even if it takes 100 years. In the Muslim Brotherhood planning document, "The Project," it clearly states - among their strategies: Maintain the appearance of moderation. Use deception to mask the intended goals of Islamic Action. We know about these things, the government knows about these things, the highest of officials know, yet they are inexplicably ignored.

Forget about the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. We are losing the war right here. And our government is helping. ( End of Article )

Now, IS THERE ANY DOUBT.... THAT WE NEED NEW LEADERSHIP?

Weiner's Wife, Hillary's Factotum, and the Muslim Brotherhood

2011-07-01T07:43:00.000-07:00

The Muslim Brotherhood and Weiner By Eileen F. Toplansky

Part I

Far more disturbing than the salacious details of Weiner's dalliances {the N.Y. Congressman's e-Mailed photo of his weenie} is the fact that apparently his mother-in-law is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Furthermore, Huma Abedin's brother, Hassan, "is listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members." Hassan works at the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS) at Oxford University. The Egyptian Al-Azhar University, well-known for a curriculum that encourages extremism and terrorism, is active in establishing links with OCIS.

How is it that the Western media, with its hourly analyses of Weiner, missed this salient point, yet Arab news sources revealed this connection? Walid Shoebat, formerly with the PLO, explains that Saleha Mahmoud Abedin, a professor in Saudi Arabia "belongs to the Sunni movement's women's division known as the Muslim Sisterhood." During the recent uprising in Egypt, which resulted in Mubarak's removal, "a special women's unit within the Muslim Brotherhood served as 'mules' to deliver messages and acted as messengers for the terrorist group."

The Muslim Sisterhood is also known as the International Women's Organization (IWO) and members are located "across 16 different countries." Its goal is to "work at all levels in accordance with the message of the Brotherhood." The Muslim Brotherhood's goal is Islamic World Domination and "[i]t is now public knowledge that nearly every major Muslim organization in the United States is actually controlled by the [Muslim Brotherhood] like CAIR, or a derivative organization. Consequently, most of the Muslim-American groups of any prominence in America are now known to be, as a matter of fact, hostile to the United States and its Constitution."

This chart on page four of the Domestic Intelligence Briefing by Mark Hass shows the FBI - Identified Terror Networks connected to the Muslim Brotherhood in North America.

Which should now raise even greater concerns since Huma Abedin-Weiner is the deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton, the United States Secretary of State. Did any vetting occur by Clinton's people concerning Huma Abedin, her brother Hassan, or her mother Saleha Mahmoud Abedin, and any connections with known Islamists, particularly the Muslim Brotherhood?

But then again, would it have troubled Mrs. Clinton? After all, during her husband's time as President, she warmly embraced Suha Arafat the wife of Yasser Arafat, arch-terrorist, right after a speech during which Suha Arafat falsely accused Israel of poisoning the Palestinian water supply.

Huma's brother has "worked with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal on a program of "spreading Islam to the west." More intriguing is the fact that the Abedin family left Michigan for Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, around 1977, which is the same year that the Muslim Sisterhood was formed.

Couple this with the Clinton family playing a key role in promoting Fethullah Gulen who has worked assiduously to overthrow Turkey's secular government. Gulen, who currently resides in Pennsylvania, has told his followers that in order for "worldwide Islamic domination to succeed, every method and path is acceptable, including lying to people."

In March of this year, the FBI was investigating the more than 120 charter schools in the United States that are linked to Gulen's movement. These schools, funded with millions of taxpayer dollars, promote Gulen's worldview that is both anti-Israel and anti-America. In fact, in 2010 it was reported that Bill Gates had given almost 11 million dollars to the Cosmos Foundation, which is a Gulen enterprise.

Moreover, one needs to question why Huma Abedin, a member of a family of devout Muslims, would ever marry a Jewish Congressman -- in a ceremony officiated by Bill Clinton. Sharia law clearly forbids {female} Muslims from marrying non-believers, so what does this portend?

Furthermore, when Huma Abedin accompanied Hillary Clinton to the Dar El-Hekma women's college in Saudi Arabia, where Huma's mother is co-founder and vice dean, it was reported that "Hillary explained that Huma holds an important and sensitive position in her office." Where was the scrutiny?

Why are so many at the highest levels of American government ignoring the methodology of Islamists like Gulen, who has declared that the best way to seize power is to lie in wait "with the patience of a spider" in order to "wait for people to get caught in the web"? Is Clinton so naïve?

Thus, Huma Abedin's position with Clinton in the State Department, as well as her marriage to Representative Weiner, has given her enormous exposure "to state secrets and access to the inner workings of Congress."

This would be unsettling enough if it were not also for Obama's latest appointee. The 44th president has just appointed Azizah al-Hibri to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom. Al-Hibri believes that sharia law is superior to American law. Yet, al-Hibri is only one of the pro-sharia adherents that Obama has placed in influential positions since he became president. Dalia Mogahed was one of the earliest appointees and as Nonie Darwish has written, "[t]he empowerment of Radical Islam under the Obama administration" is extremely disturbing.

Last year, Obama appointed two devout Muslims to Homeland Security. Obama's record concerning Islamic terror was alarming from the beginning of his term and it has only become more entrenched. Congressman Keith Ellison aka Keith Hakim, who converted to Islam, is already in place in Congress. His connections to CAIR are troubling.

Is the Weiner scandal really covering up a far more disturbing scenario whereby jihadists continue to infiltrate and influence American universities, military installations, homeland security, even local police forces, all while the press ignores the steady encroachment of these radicals who seek to overturn and destroy America?

The disgraceful indifference by the general press to Weiner's in-laws and their connections to the Muslim Brotherhood keeps eroding America's ability to rout those who wish to see her destroyed.

Fethullah Gulen has exhorted his followers to "move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing [their] existence until [they] reach all the power centers...until the conditions are ripe..." Can America continue to close its eyes to this deliberate hibernation strategy of our enemies?

Weiner’s In-Laws’
Secret Muslim Brotherhood Connections
How deep do the ties go?
by Walid Shoebat and Ben Barrack

Part II

Was Huma Abedin — wife of Anthony Weiner and deputy chief of staff to Hillary Clinton — unaware that her mother was reported as a member of the Muslim Brotherhood? Did Western media miss what has been revealed in several Arab newspapers and left secret in American government circles?

Al-Liwa Al-Arabi (translated here) claims to have leaked an extensive list, partially published by Al-Jazeera and several other major Arab newspapers, that includes Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, in the Brotherhood’s secret women’s division — known as the Muslim Sisterhood or International Women’s Organization (IWO).

Information about the IWO can readily be found at the Muslim Brotherhood’s official website. An excerpt from its goal, translated from the Arabic, states:

The Women Organization’s goal, in accordance with the Muslim Brotherhood rules, is to gain and acquire a unified global perception in every nation in the world regarding the position of women, and the necessity of advocacy work at all levels in accordance with the message of the Brotherhood, as written in Women in Muslim Society, and the rearing of women throughout the different stages of life [emphasis added].

The Egyptian paper Al-Dostor revealed that the Sisterhood includes 63 international members across 16 different countries — a claim confirmed by the Arab Center for Studies, headed by researcher Abdul Rahim Ali.

Neither Huma nor any major Western media outlets even mention this bit of common knowledge in the Arab world.

But there is more. Also confirmed by Arab sources is that Huma Abedin has a brother who works at Oxford University named Hassan Abedin. Oxford, which has long been infiltrated by Islamists who founded the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies (OCIS), has Huma’s brother listed as a fellow and partner with a number of Muslim Brotherhood members on the Board — including al-Qaeda associate Omar Naseef and the notorious Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi. Both have been listed as OCIS trustees. Naseef continues to serve as Board chairman.

In 2009, Qaradawi’s role within Oxford and the Muslim Brotherhood was championed by the notorious Sheikh Rached Ghannouchi of Al-Nahda – a Muslim Brotherhood affiliate now active in Tunisia. OCIS has even presented an award for great scholarly achievement to Brotherhood member Shaykh Abd Al-Fattah Abu Gudda, whose personal history goes back to the Brotherhood’s founder, Hasan al-Banna.

Even the Sunday Times acknowledges that the cradle of Islamic jihad — Al-Azhar University — actively attempts to establish links with OCIS, where Huma’s brother serves.

Was Huma unaware of all this as she accompanied Hillary Clinton to the Dar El-Hekma women’s college in Saudi Arabia? Huma’s mother is co-founder and vice dean at the college and an active missionary on issues regarding Muslim women.

Another member listed as belonging to the Sisterhood mentioned by Al-Jazeera is Suheir Qureshi. Alongside Huma’s mother, Saleha Abedin, as well as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who was brought in due to her connection with Huma, Qureshi spoke on issues of women in Muslim society. An Arabic news report of what happened during Hillary’s visit stated that:

Suheir Qureshi spoke of how elated she was of Hillary’s historic visit…. Saleha Abedin spoke after Suheir Qureshi and beamed in the presence of Secretary Clinton. Saleha’s speech preceded the former first lady’s. Then Hillary stood. She donned a broad smile as she approached the podium….Clinton started with a strong word and she spent a long time complimenting Dr. Saleha Abedin regarding her daughter. Hillary explained that Huma holds an important and sensitive position in her office. She ended her speech by speaking of Saleha Abedin’s daughter (Huma), that a person must be happy if mentioned in a positive light but there is no happiness that equals the compliment given to children in front of a parent [emphasis added].

It is sacrilege in Islam for Huma’s mother to accept the reality that her daughter is married to a Jew. Yet neither Saleha nor Huma’s brother Hassan denounces her marriage to Weiner, especially when it was considered null and void by some of the highest authorities on Islamic Sharia rulings.

Huma’s brother has been key in furthering the Islamic agenda and has worked with Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal on a program of “spreading Islam to the west.” A detailed report from 2007 shows that Naseef was identified as the likely force behind the Abedin family’s departure from Kalamazoo, Michigan, to Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, circa 1977 – the same year that the Muslim Sisterhood was established.

In 2008, Dr. Mumen Muhammad wrote about why Huma vowed to stay with Hillary even if the latter were to lose the presidential nomination to Obama:

Abedin assures in press releases of her continuance on the path with Hillary Clinton, even if Clinton failed as a candidate. The candidate’s aides and other influential figures in the Democratic Party assure that they do not disregard Abedin running for election or taking her position in the political arena with the help in successive political administrations of the Clinton family itself [emphasis added].

Hillary Clinton signed a document less than one month prior to her trip to Saudi Arabia with Huma that lifted the ban on Tariq Ramadan, allowing him entry into the United States. (Ramadan is the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hasan al-Banna, and has ties to Islamic terrorist groups.) The Clinton family played a key role in promoting Fethullah Gülen, the extremely powerful Turkish imam and notorious Islamist conspirator, as he fled Turkey for the United States after attempting to overthrow Turkey’s secular government. (He was indicted on this charge in 2000.) In 2008, the former president heaped praise on Gülen, giving him a clean slate. Gülen has been given refuge and has even had sermons aired on Turkish television during which he explained to his followers how to best seize power from the Turkish government:

"You must move in the arteries of the system without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers… until the conditions are ripe….Until that time, any step taken would be too early — like breaking an egg without waiting the full forty days for it to hatch. It would be like killing the chick inside" [emphasis added].

Gülen expressed this sentiment in another sermon as well:

"The philosophy of our service is that we open a house somewhere and, with the patience of a spider, we lay our web to wait for people to get caught in the web; and we teach those who do." [emphasis added].

Serving with Huma’s brother as an Oxford Centre trustee is Abdullah Gül, Turkey’s president himself. He considers himself a follower of Fethullah Gülen, according to Wikileaks.

Huma Abedin’s charm, family connections, and access to highly sensitive state secrets — as admitted by Hillary herself — can have significant consequences. {End of Two Part Article}

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED BEHIND CLOSED DOORS DURING THE OSAMA ATTACK

2011-05-13T11:58:00.000-07:00

by Sarah Roman on May 5, 2011 at 12:53pm

PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO READ THIS!!! YOU WILL NOT REGRET THAT YOU DID!!! AFTER READING THE ARTICLE... SCROLL BACK TO THE TOP & LOOK AT THE PICTURE BELOW AGAIN. THE SCENE IN THE PHOTO SEEMS TO TELL AN ENTIRELY DIFFERENT STORY THAN WHAT OBAMA HAD GIVEN A SPEECH ABOUT ON 05-01-2011. ACTUALLY... THIS ARTICLE EXPLAINS EXACTLY WHAT THIS PICTURE MEANS!!!

"What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound."

Note:This update comes some 24 hours after our longtime Washington D.C. Insider first outlined shocking details of an Obama administration having been “overruled” by senior military and intelligence officials leading up to the successful attack against terrorist Osama Bin Laden. What follows is further clarification of Insider’s insights surrounding that event.

Q:You stated that President Obama was “overruled” by military/intelligence officials regarding the decision to send in military specialists into the Osama Bin Laden compound. Was that accurate?

A: I was told – in these exact terms, “we overruled him.” (Obama) I have since followed up and received further details on exactly what that meant, as well as the specifics of how Leon Panetta worked around the president’s “persistent hesitation to act.” There appears NOT to have been an outright overruling of any specific position by President Obama, simply because there was no specific position from the president to do so. President Obama was, in this case, as in all others, working as an absentee president.

I was correct in stating there had been a push to invade the compound for several weeks if not months, primarily led by Leon Panetta, Hillary Clinton, Robert Gates, David Petraeus, and Jim Clapper. The primary opposition to this plan originated from Valerie Jarrett, and it was her opposition that was enough to create uncertainty within President Obama. Obama would meet with various components of the pro-invasion faction, almost always with Jarrett present, and then often fail to indicate his position. This situation continued for some time, though the division between Jarrett/Obama and the rest intensified more recently, most notably from Hillary Clinton. She was livid over the president’s failure to act, and her office began a campaign of anonymous leaks to the media indicating such. As for Jarrett, her concern rested on two primary fronts. One, that the military action could fail and harm the president’s already weakened standing with both the American public and the world. Second, that the attack would be viewed as an act of aggression against Muslims, and further destabilize conditions in the Middle East.

Q: What changed the president’s position and enabled the attack against Osama Bin Laden to proceed?

A: Nothing changed with the president’s opinion – he continued to avoid having one. Every time military and intelligence officials appeared to make progress in forming a position, Jarrett would intervene and the stalling would begin again. Hillary started the ball really rolling as far as pressuring Obama began, but it was Panetta and Petraeus who ultimately pushed Obama to finally act – sort of. Panetta was receiving significant reports from both his direct CIA sources, as well as Petraeus-originating Intel. Petraeus was threatening to act on his own via a bombing attack. Panetta reported back to the president that a bombing of the compound would result in successful killing of Osama Bin Laden, and little risk to American lives. Initially, as he had done before, the president indicated a willingness to act. But once again, Jarrett intervened, convincing the president that innocent Pakistani lives could be lost in such a bombing attack, and Obama would be left attempting to explain Panetta’s failed policy. Again Obama hesitated – this time openly delaying further meetings to discuss the issue with Panetta. A brief meeting was held at this time with other officials, including Secretary Gates and members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but Gates, like Panetta, was unable to push the president to act. It was at this time that Gates indicated to certain Pentagon officials that he may resign earlier than originally indicated – he was that frustrated. Both Panetta and Clinton convinced him to stay on and see the operation through.

What happened from there is what was described by me as a “masterful manipulation” by Leon Panetta. Panetta indicated to Obama that leaks regarding knowledge of Osama Bin Laden’s location were certain to get out sooner rather than later, and action must be taken by the administration or the public backlash to the president’s inaction would be “…significant to the point of political debilitation.” It was at that time that Obama stated an on-ground campaign would be far more acceptable to him than a bombing raid. This was intended as a stalling tactic, and it had originated from Jarrett. Such a campaign would take both time, and present a far greater risk of failure. The president had been instructed by Jarrett to inform Mr., Panetta that he would have sole discretion to act against the Osama Bin Laden compound. Jarrett believed this would further delay Panetta from acting, as the responsibility for failure would then fall almost entirely on him. What Valerie Jarrett, and the president, did not know is that Leon Panetta had already initiated a program that reported to him –and only him, involving a covert on the ground attack against the compound. Basically, the whole damn operation was already ready to go – including the specific team support Intel necessary to engage the enemy within hours of being given notice. Panetta then made plans to proceed with an on-ground assault. This information reached either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates first (likely via military contacts directly associated with the impending mission) who then informed the other. Those two then met with Panetta, who informed each of them he had been given the authority by the president to proceed with a mission if the opportunity presented itself. Both Gates and Clinton warned Panetta of the implications of that authority – namely he was possibly being made into a scapegoat. Panetta admitted that possibility, but felt the opportunity to get Bin Laden outweighed that risk. During that meeting, Hillary Clinton was first to pledge her full support for Panetta, indicating she would defend him if necessary. Similar support was then followed by Gates. The following day, and with Panetta’s permission, Clinton met in private with Bill Daley and urged him to get the president’s full and open approval of the Panetta plan. Daley agreed such approval would be of great benefit to the action, and instructed Clinton to delay proceeding until he had secured that approval. Daley contacted Clinton within hours of their meeting indicating Jarrett refused to allow the president to give that approval. Daley then informed Clinton that he too would fully support Panetta in his actions, even if it meant disclosing the president’s indecision to the American public should that action fail to produce a successful conclusion. Clinton took that message back to Panetta and the CIA director initiated the 48 hour engagement order. At this point, the President of the United States was not informed of the engagement order – it did not originate from him, and for several hours after the order had been given and the special ops forces were preparing for action into Pakistan from their position in Afghanistan, Daley successfully kept Obama and Jarrett insulated from that order.

This insulation ended at some point with an abort order that I believe originated from Valerie Jarrett’s office, and was then followed up by President Obama. This abort order was later explained as a delay due to weather conditions, but the actual conditions at that time would have been acceptable for the mission. A storm system had been in the area earlier, but was no longer an issue. Check the data yourself to confirm. Jarrett, having been caught off guard, was now scrambling to determine who had initiated the plan. She was furious, repeating the acronym “CoC” and saying it was not being followed. This is where Bill Daley intervened directly. The particulars of that intervention are not clear to me beyond knowing he did meet with Jarrett in his office and following that meeting, Valerie Jarrett was not seen in the West Wing for some time, and apparently no longer offered up any resistance to the Osama Bin Laden mission. What did follow from there was one or more brief meetings between Bill Daley, Hillary Clinton, a representative from Robert Gates’ office, a representative from Leon Panetta’s office, and a representative from Jim Clapper’s office. I have to assume that these meetings were in essence, detailing the move to proceed with the operation against the Osama Bin Laden compound. I have been told by more than one source that Leon Panetta was directing the operation with both his own CIA operatives, as well as direct contacts with military – both entities were reporting to Panetta only at this point, and not the President of the United States.

There was not going to be another delay as had happened 24 hour earlier. The operation was at this time effectively unknown to President Barack Obama or Valerie Jarrett and it remained that way until AFTER it had already been initiated. President Obama was literally pulled from a golf outing and escorted back to the White House to be informed of the mission. Upon his arrival there was a briefing held which included Bill Daley, John Brennan, and a high ranking member of the military. When Obama emerged from the briefing, he was described as looking “very confused and uncertain.” The president was then placed in the situation room where several of the players in this event had already been watching the operation unfold.

Another interesting tidbit regarding this is that the Vice President was already “up to speed” on the operation. A source indicated they believe Hillary Clinton had personally made certain the Vice President was made aware of that day’s events before the president was. The now famous photo released shows the particulars of that of that room and its occupants. What that photo does not communicate directly is that the military personnel present in that room during the operation unfolding, deferred to either Hillary Clinton or Robert Gates. The president’s role was minimal, including their acknowledging of his presence in the room. At the conclusion of the mission, after it had been repeatedly confirmed a success, President Obama was once again briefed behind closed doors. The only ones who went in that room besides the president were Bill Daley. John Brennan, and a third individual whose identity remains unknown to me. When leaving this briefing, the president came out of it “…much more confident. Much more certain of himself.” He was also carrying papers in his hand that quite possibly was the address to the nation given later that evening on the Bin Laden mission. The president did not have those papers with him prior to that briefing. The president then returned to the war room, where by this time, Leon Panetta had personally arrived and was receiving congratulations from all who were present.

In my initial communication to you of these events I described what unfolded as a temporary Coup initiated by high ranking intelligence and military officials. I stand by that term. These figures worked around the uncertainty of President Obama and the repeated resistance of Valerie Jarrett. If they had not been willing to do so, I am certain Osama Bin Laden would still be alive today. There will be no punishment to those who acted outside the authority of the president’s office. The president cannot afford to admit such a fact. What will be most interesting from here is to now see what becomes of Valerie Jarrett. One source indicated she is threatening resignation. I find that unlikely given my strong belief she needs the protection afforded her by the Oval Office and its immense powers to delay and eventually terminate investigations back in Chicago, but we shall see.

OBAMA'S CLASSMATE '83 SPEAKS
By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010

Barack Hussein Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.

To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within.

Barack Hussein Obama was my college classmate ( Columbia University , class of '83).

He is a devout Muslim, do not be fooled.

Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussein Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University . They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands.

Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.

Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.

Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).

Obama doesn't care that giving "free" health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government . Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?

Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.

They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."

Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussein Obama's plan all along.

His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.

Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.

Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually, Social Security.

Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?

It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country.

It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.

It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).

A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues).

All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .

The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.

The ends justify the means.

Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).

Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussein Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.

Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussein Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan .

Libya: Who's In Charge?

2011-03-29T08:11:00.000-07:00

A Clear Message From The Oval Office -- Gadaffi Must Go! -- Good, now we have a Goal. Sec of State Hillary Clinton echoes Obama's opening statement. Then confusion, with chatter about "transition" of responsibility.

Is it NATO, or some odd-ball coalition..or the Pep Boys (the auto-parts guys), Manny, Mo & Jack, or perhaps The Three Stooges, Mo, Curly & Larry?

What's this business of "transition of leadership" of our military assets, after completion of Phase I ?

The White House says that French Prez Sarkozy, British PM David Cameron & Obama have agreed that NATO should play a "key role" in the future command structure.

Sec Hillary Clinton sez, "I'm very relaxed about it; we're moving in the right direction."

Then, France has misgivings about "handing over the baton" to NATO.

Turkey has blocked approval of NATO Operational Plans..."

So far, two Arab nations, UAE and QATAR have committed 18 fighter jets, plus two transport aircraft.

Snake Hunter Concludes, "Crazy Gad.daffi is a known international criminal, and has recently threatened Benghazi, population 700,000, with an ominous "no pity, no mercy", as he moved his tanks in for an attack; French jets quickly destroy that operation. Good Show!

Phase I - March 19th - U.S. Navy ships fire 110 Tomahawks to take out Colonel Gadaffi's Air-Defence Capabilities, and establish the "no-fly" zone...so far, so good. March 20th, Day 2 - More Tomahawks land on Tripoli's Command & Control Center, as Gadaffi hides in some underground facility, talking to his loyal troops by telephone, stating "We Are Winning!"

This Irrational Profile, from > Mail Online Up-dated on March 31, 2009:
The Libyan leader was at an Arab gathering in Qatar, when he seized the microphone to denounce the Saudi King as "a liar." - He added that Abdullah was a 'British product and also an American ally'. For anyone that would like a humorous personal profile, there's two pages of irratic behavior where he said "I am the King of Kings, I am an international leader, the dean of Arab rulers, the king of kings of Africa, and the Imam of Muslims, and my international status does not allow me to descend to a lower level."

When he visited Paris in 2007, Gadaffi brought 30 blue-uniformed women as minders, all supposed virgins, and trained killers.

According to John Simpson of the BBC, this contempt also extends to journalists. He said Gadaffi has the unnerving habit of breaking wind loudly during interviews.

>>

Editor's Conclusion: Stuff Happens... when unaware people elect an incompetent but charismatic junior senator, with no foreign affairs background or military savvy..to be our Commander-In-Chief..of the most powerful military force in human history, serious mistakes are inevitable.

To wrap up this report, there is still too little known about these so-called "rebels" that we seem anxious to defend. A prime example would be a rebel commander that fought against American forces in Afganistan; Abdul-Hakim al-Hasadi, who claims to have commanded a force of 1000 men, and has led rebel units in the town of Bin Jawad. This Hakim al-Hasadi also admits to recruiting fighters for Iraq. Now folks, shouldn't we know a bit more about this guy?

Here's the Bottom Line:

Last Night, President Obama said that NATO would Take Over Command & Control of the Battlefield on Wednesday, and that Our Military Assets would have a "limited supporting role". That Is Absurd! This amounts to a ridiculous abdication of responsibility, and a betrayal. Our U.S. Army Generals, Our Navy Commanders must never be ordered to "transfer" authority to any foreign command/control paradigm...to NATO, or to any league, any other rag-tag coalition.

ARE YOU TOO BUSY?

2011-02-16T10:08:00.000-08:00

IF... you are too busy to read a book;

IF... your local high-school history teacher has never read the first 24 words in The Declaration of Independence.."When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds that have connected them with another..." - that teacher should be dismissed.

IF... your social studies teacher tell the class that 'global warming' should be the central focus of all future studies, he should be exposed.

IF... YOUR PASTOR, PRIEST OR REVEREND ASKS HIS SHEEP ...to attend a candle-light vigil, where a "moderate" Imam is scheduled to speak about 'PEACE' ...and the blessings of Diversity, and building bridges to understanding, and co-existing, with a group that has a 1400 year bloody track-record of slaughter, rape and intimidation in INDIA, plus a dozen nations in EUROPE, with mutilations, honor killings, stoning and beheadings of women, and suicide-bombings, and the destruction of temples of "heathen gods", replacing them with Islamic Mosques & Madrasas in all conquered lands...and when your Pastors and Reverends ignore these things of Holy Jihad, and Khalifat Rashidun (Caliphate) and the Muslim Brotherhood, and the Continuum of Wars...they should be coaxed into finding a different profession!

IF... YOU accept the solemn responsibility of participating in our democratic political process here in the U.S., then you have a Moral Obligation to research the fact-based evidence, of recent activities of The Shadow Government advocated by Open Society Institute, founded with huge money donations supplied by the Evil Genius of Generous George Soros. His political campaign donations are legendary in creating new propaganda platforms like MoveOnDotOrg, MediaMatters, HuffiPost, etc, and aiding NewsCasters on MSNBC and Radio NPR, etc. and Uncle George has spent hundreds of millions in the presidential elections to push far-left congressmen, and candidates since the turn of the century, hoping to CHANGE this exceptional republic into an obedient jelly-fish, and dancing puppet to the brave...'NEW WORLD ORDER'.

Read, think, research and become aware. This nation is only one generation away from oblivion.

INNOCENTS DIE!

If you don't want your daughters Westernized ...

... Don't move to Western civilized nations! Muslims move to Western nations and bring their extended families. Unlike other immigrants who came here looking to be a part of American culture and a better life for their families, many Muslim immigrants come here planning to maintain their native culture and change America. "Americans, like Europeans, are now experiencing a new kind of immigrant, one for whom tribal, cultural, or ethnic loyalty trumps his allegiance to American law and to western concepts of individual human rights." says Dr. Phyllis Chesler. Unfortunately, many in the U.S., including the media, have failed to understand this.

Young girls and wives have been shot in the back seat of the father's taxi; beheaded; run over by a two-ton jeep, not once, but twice; ... Why? Because they wanted to live as Americans. Muslim on Muslim violence. The killers, usually their father, brother, husband, admit to the murder but do not see it as a crime, at least not a crime in Islam, but an honor that must be upheld. In most cases, the female family members are too afraid to stand up to the men or they are true believers and think the men have done the right thing by killing their daughters.

What could these women do to deserve such treatment? Dress in Western clothing, date non-Muslim boys/men, want an education and job, things we take for granted, things that are part of the Western culture. America, like any other nation, has the right to it's own culture and the right to expect those who want to live here to embrace that culture.

If Muslims, or any other group, do not embrace American culture, then they need to stay in their home country, or return there immediately. Immigration policy for Muslims and those considered refugees. Just because someone lives in trying times in their country does not mean the United States must import them under refugee status. Christians around the world are under assault by Muslims, let's concentrate on these first because we know that in Christianity honor killing does not exist.

As Dr. Chesler says:
...as I have documented in two studies in Middle East Quarterly, western-style domestic violence is not the same as an honor killing. If we do not quickly understand what the differences are, we will not understand how to protect or shelter those immigrants and asylum seekers who wish to live like Americans in America; nor will we be able to prosecute their murderers effectively. The blood of girls and women like Noor Almaleki, Aasiya Zubair Hassan, and Sarah and Amina Said, will be on American hands.

FOX 10's Andrea Robinson and Rick D'Amico asked Dr. Zuhdi Jasser, President and Founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy to shed some light on this topic.

He talks about how women are treated in other countries, how honor killings are treated overseas and what he's hoping people will take away from this case.

Killed to keep the family's honor. Isn't it about time we fight to keep America's honor?

And where are the feminists? Why are they not screaming to high heaven against this 'honor killing'?Over the years, I have lost at least 50 feminist colleagues and friends to the Grim Reaper. But, I lost thousands more when I committed the unpardonable sin of deciding that Islamic gender and religious apartheid, jihad, and politically correct Leftism are even more dangerous to our freedom as women, as feminists, and as westerners, than the most ferociously stereotyped anti-abortion Christian conservative could ever be.

While America imports Muslims, we also import terror and a way of life, a culture, that is anti-American. Immigrants must assimilate. Below the fold, please read the article "Fjordman: Why Islam Must Be Expelled From The West" from December 10, 2010. While expelling all Muslims from the West is certainly not an option. We know there are indeed Muslims to love Western countries, who have assimilated and who are good citizens. However, his article is an interesting read, first see these items:

Fjordman: Why Islam Must Be Expelled From The West Winds of Jihad 19 December 2010

On the 11th of December 2010, the first-ever suicide bombing in Scandinavia occurred when Taimour Abdulwahab, an Iraqi-born Muslim and Swedish citizen with a wife and children in Luton, Britain, was carrying explosives and mistakenly set off an explosion near a busy Christmas shopping street in Stockholm just before he could murder dozens of people.

Foreign Minister Carl Bildt, who is a passionate promoter of having Turkey as a full member of the European Union and Islam as an established part of European culture, stated that "We were extremely lucky ... I mean minutes and just a couple of hundred metres from where it would have been very catastrophic." Sweden's intelligence agency and a news agency received an email with audio files in which a man called on "all hidden mujahedeen [Islamic holy warriors] in Europe, and especially in Sweden, it is now the time to fight back." He criticized Sweden for its military presence in Afghanistan and its acceptance of the artist Lars Vilks, who had made some cartoons mocking Muhammad. The message warned that "now your children, daughters and sisters die like our brothers' and sisters' children die."

We've been told for years that suicide bombers who blow themselves up in civilian areas in Israel are "freedom fighters struggling against Israeli occupation." Does that mean that this Muslim blew himself up to protest against the Swedish occupation of Stockholm?

Sweden has no colonial history, at least not outside of northern Europe. It is a self-appointed champion of Third World countries and has virtually surrendered its third-largest city to immigrant mobs and substantial chunks of other cities, too. Swedish authorities are using the most extreme methods imaginable to suppress any dissent among the native people, who are being ethnically cleansed from their own land. The authorities always side with immigrants against the natives in the case of conflict. Muslims in Sweden can harass the natives as much as they want to and have access to all kinds of welfare goodies and a much higher standard of living than they would have in their own countries. In short, they have no imaginable, rational reason to complain, yet they still blow themselves up.

In Sweden, all the traditional excuses employed by Multiculturalists and Leftists throughout the Western world, fail. This leaves just one possible explanation, the only one never mentioned in Western mainstream media: That Muslims and their culture are fundamentally incompatible with our values and societies.

Hassan Moussa, who has worked as an imam at the largest mosque in the city of Stockholm, has earlier been accused of spreading double messages. What he said in his harsh speeches in Arabic didn't match the text as translated in Swedish. A journalist warned that "a href="http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/1479.htm" target="_blank">Sweden's mosques are slowly but surely being taken over" by the Muslim Brotherhood. Following the 2010 suicide bombing, Moussa's recommendations for how to prevent similar events in the future involved giving more power to imams and having a "zero tolerance for Islamophobia."

Prohibiting all forms of criticism or mockery of Islam and its Prophet is an essential part of sharia, Islamic religious law. According to Islamic historical sources, individuals such as the poetess Asma bint Marwan were killed by the followers of Muhammad for having done nothing other than mocking Islam. This then became a part of the Sunna, the personal example of Muhammad and his companions, which is the most authoritative source of Islamic law next to the Koran itself. It was for the same reason that Theo van Gogh was murdered in Amsterdam in 2004. Yes, mainstream, traditional Islam today stipulates that those who mock Islam deserve to be murdered. No other major religion on this planet dictates anything similar.

It sounds nearly unbelievable to the average person that one of the largest religions on Earth, which is "respected" by the United Nations and political leaders worldwide, can be that bad, but this is unfortunately true. Not only is this the case, but the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC), the largest voting bloc at the UN, is teaming up with other dictatorships and African nations as we speak to ban "Islamophobia" across the world, also in the West.

Islam is more totalitarian than the most totalitarian ideologies that have ever existed in the Western world. Even Der FÃ¼hrer or Comrade Stalin never expected or demanded that every single man should copy all of their personal habits and their silly little mustaches, for which we should be eternally grateful. Islam, on the other hand, stipulates that all men everywhere and for all times should copy Muhammad's personal habits and example in minute detail.

Islam is a creed which says that men should urinate like Muhammad and that Muslims should wage a war against all other men on the planet until they, too, urinate like their Prophet. This is a provocative way of putting things, yes, but theologically speaking it is not incorrect. While Muhammad was not divine he was, as some Muslims say, the "living Koran." John L. Esposito in Islam: The Straight Path, one of the most pro-Islamic books in existence, states:

"Muslims look to Muhammad's example for guidance in all aspects of life: how to treat friends as well as enemies, what to eat and drink, how to make love and war. Nowhere is this seen more clearly than in the growth of Prophetic traditions....His impact on Muslim life cannot be overestimated, since he served as both religious and political head of Medina: prophet of God, ruler, military commander, chief judge, lawgiver. As a result, the practice of the Prophet, his Sunna or example, became the norm for community life. Muslims observed and remembered stories about what the Prophet said and did. These reports or traditions (hadith) were preserved and passed on in oral and written form. The corpus of hadith literature reveals the comprehensive scope of Muhammad's example; he is the ideal religiopolitical leader as well as the exemplary husband and father. Thus when many Muslims pray five times each day or make the pilgrimage to Mecca, they seek to pray as the Prophet prayed, without adding or subtracting from the way Muhammad is reported to have worshipped. Traditions of the Prophet provide guidance for personal hygiene, dress, eating, marriage, treatment of wives, diplomacy, and warfare."

According to sharia, non-Muslim dhimmis can on certain conditions be allowed to retain their lives under Islamic rule, provided that they remain totally submissive to Muslims at all times. Any perceived "insult," however slight, could immediately trigger violent reactions. In practice, a mere rumor that anybody has done something which displeases Muslims can cause retaliations and murders. This is how Christians in Pakistan or elsewhere live on a daily basis, constantly fearful of Jihadist attacks, and this is how many Muslims want us to live as well. Meanwhile, our authorities, intellectuals and mass media continue to import people who are plotting to murder us while we have our genetalia screened and checked at our airports.

If a single non-Muslim says anything critical about Islam, his entire community can in principle be punished for this. Basically, this means that if one cartoonist in Germany, the USA or Denmark makes a cartoon mocking Muhammad, this could potentially trigger Jihadist terrorist attacks against his entire country for "waging a war against Islam," because his "tribe" is held collectively responsible for his actions. This was exactly the Islamic logic behind Taimour Abdulwahab's terror attack in Stockholm. There is no such thing as an individual in this culture; the tribe is everything. Muslims, being good hypocrites, are always the first following an Islamic terrorist attack to state that all Muslims should not be punished for the actions of a few, yet this is precisely what their own laws prescribe for non-Muslims.

Before the general elections in 2006 the Swedish Muslim League, the largest Islamic organization in the country, published a long list where they not merely requested, but essentially demanded, separate family laws for Muslims; that public schools should employ imams to teach homogeneous classes of Muslims children in the language of their original homeland. (The Swedish city of MalmÃ¶ already has pre-school classes where all teaching is conducted in Arabic. This is "good for integration."); a "mosque in every municipality," built through interest-free loans made available by local municipalities to demonstrate "Islam's right to exist in Sweden" and to "heighten the status of and respect for" Muslims; separation between boys and girls in gymnastics and swimming education; and laws instating Islamic holidays as public holidays for Muslims. Swedes should also ensure that all Muslims get two hours off from work during the congregational Friday prayer every week and an Islamic burial ground available in every municipality in which there are Muslims. Last, but not least, they demanded that the authorities and the already heavily censored, pro-Multicultural mass media should take even stronger steps to combat "Islamophobia" in the general public.

These demands were rejected back then, but they will be repeated, not just in Sweden but throughout the Western world. As long as we have sizeable Muslim communities here this is inevitable. Muslims are not here to live in peace as equals; they are here to colonize, subjugate, harass and dominate us. Their holy book, the Koran, demands nothing less.

But if all of this is true, how can we coexist peacefully with Muslims in our countries? The short answer is that we cannot. No matter how much you appease them, it will never be enough. As a matter of fact, since they come from a culture which respects only brute force they will despise you as weak and become more aggressive if you try to reason with them.

Their religion also states that Muslims are the "best of peoples"--the true master race--and that they are destined by Allah to rule all mankind. They are filled with illusions of grandeur and superiority, yet the harsh reality is that their societies are lagging behind those of others. This constitutes an inversion of the natural order which can only have been caused by demonic actions and must be reversed at all costs. As long as they remain in our countries, they will work to subvert and destroy us. It is quite literally a religious duty for them to do so.

So why don't you hear this from most Western political leaders or mass media? Because they are lying to you, plain and simple. The truth is that there is no such thing as a moderate Islam; that nobody has yet managed to come up with a credible theoretical way to reform Islam; and that there are no practical indications of any softening or modernization of Islam actually taking place. Since the adherents of this creed in its present form are waging a war of annihilation against us and the civilization we have created, this leaves only one possible conclusion if we wish to retain our culture and freedom: Physical separation. Islam and those who practice it must be totally and permanently removed from all Western nations.

Potential objections can be raised to this solution. One is that it might provoke Muslims and trigger a world war. To this I will say that our mere existence as free and self-ruled peoples constitutes a provocation to them. Besides, we are already in a world war. Technically speaking, it started 1400 years ago, the mother of all wars. Against European civilization it has witnessed two main phases, the first one with the Arabs in early medieval times, and the second one with the Turks in early modern times. This is the third Islamic Jihad, and it has penetrated deeper into Europe than ever before because we don't fight back. If the other guy walks up to you and starts punching you in the face then you are already in a fight, whether you want this or not. If you do not defend yourself properly then you have already lost.

Another objection is that expelling Muslims from the West would not end the war. They would merely continue from their original home countries, aided by missiles and modern technology. This could well be true. The separationist strategy does not imply that removing Islam from the West alone is all that will ever be required, only that this is the bare minimum that is acceptable. If Muslims remain aggressive, we retain the option of further actions, including directly targeting their holy cities of Mecca and Medina using conventional or non-conventional weapons. Having large numbers of Muslims in our societies is anyway very costly, and the aggressive fifth column in our midst will severely limit our freedom of action.

Finally, one could claim that the overall problem with the modern West is the general mass immigration and Multiculturalism promoted by our treasonous elites and that Islam merely constitutes a secondary infection. This is also partly true. No, just because Muslim immigration is especially bad does not mean that all other forms of immigration are unproblematic. Nevertheless, Muslims top the list over hostile aliens who do not belong in European or European-derived nations. The Islamic threat is real and needs to be dealt with.

The Serbian-American writer Serge Trifkovic, author of the book Defeating Jihad, has stated that the ongoing failure by their entrusted leaders to demographically protect European and European-derived nations constitutes the greatest betrayal in history. I am tempted to agree with him. In the end, the traitors and fifth columnists we have in our media and academia must be removed from power and replaced with people who are loyal to us and our nations. [end of Fjordman article]

Detroit City, Lost Forever

2011-01-10T21:04:00.000-08:00

(Frosty Wooldridge (born 1947)
is a US journalist, writer, environmentalist, traveler)

By Frosty Wooldridge

For 15 years, from the mid 1970's to 1990, I worked in Detroit , Michigan . I watched it descend into the abyss of crime, debauchery, gun play, drugs, school truancy, car-jacking, gangs, and human depravity. I watched entire city blocks burned out. I watched graffiti explode on buildings, cars, trucks, buses, and school yards. Trash everywhere!

Detroiters walked through it, tossed more into it, and ignored it. Tens of thousands, and then hundreds of thousands today exist on federal welfare, free housing, and food stamps!

With Aid to Dependent Children, minority women birthed eight to 10, and in one case, one woman birthed 24 children as reported by the Detroit Free Press, all on American taxpayer dollars.

A new child meant a new car payment, new TV, and whatever mom wanted. I saw Lyndon Baines Johnson's 'Great Society' flourish in Detroit . If you give money for doing nothing, you will get more hands out taking money for doing nothing.

Mayor Coleman Young, perhaps the most corrupt mayor in America , outside of Richard Daley in Chicago , rode Detroit down to its knees... He set the benchmark for cronyism, incompetence, and arrogance. As a black man, he said, "I am the MFIC." The IC meant "in charge".

You can figure out the rest. Detroit became a majority black city with 67 percent African-Americans.

As a United Van Lines truck driver for my summer job from teaching math and science, I loaded hundreds of American families into my van for a new life in another city or state.

Detroit plummeted from 1.8 million citizens to 912,000 today. At the same time, legal and illegal immigrants converged on the city, so much so, that Muslims number over 300,000. Mexicans number 400,000 throughout Michigan , but most work in Detroit . As the whites moved out, the Muslims moved in.

As the crimes became more violent, the whites fled. Finally, unlawful Mexicans moved in at a torrid pace. Detroit suffers so much shoplifting that grocery stores no longer operate in many inner city locations. You could cut the racial tension in the air with a knife!

Detroit may be one of our best examples of multiculturalism: pure dislike, and total separation from America .

Today, you hear Muslim calls to worship over the city like a new American Baghdad with hundreds of Islamic mosques in Michigan , paid for by Saudi Arabia oil money. High school flunk out rates reached 76 percent last June, according to NBC's Brian Williams. Classrooms resemble more foreign countries than America . English? Few speak it! The city features a 50 percent illiteracy rate and growing.

Unemployment hit 28.9 percent in 2009 as the auto industry vacated the city. In Time Magazine's October 4, 2009, "The Tragedy of Detroit: How a great city fell, and how it can rise again," I choked on the writer's description of what happened. "If Detroit had been ravaged by a hurricane, and submerged by a ravenous flood, we'd know a lot more about it," said Daniel Okrent. "If drought, and carelessness had spread brush fires across the city, we'd see it on the evening news every night."

Earthquake, tornadoes, you name it, if natural disaster had devastated the city that was once the living proof of American prosperity, the rest of the country might take notice.

But Detroit , once our fourth largest city, now 11th, and slipping rapidly, has had no such luck. Its disaster has long been a slow unwinding that seemed to remove it from the rest of the country.

Even the death rattle that in the past year emanated from its signature industry brought more attention to the auto executives than to the people of the city, who had for so long been victimized by their dreadful decision making."

As Coleman Young's corruption brought the city to its knees, no amount of federal dollars could save the incredible payoffs, kick backs, and illegality permeating his administration. I witnessed the city's death from the seat of my 18-wheeler tractor trailer because I moved people out of every sector of decaying Detroit .

"By any quantifiable standard, the city is on life support. Detroit 's treasury is $300 million short of the funds needed to provide the barest municipal services," Okrent said. "The school system, which six years ago was compelled by the teachers' union to reject a philanthropist's offer of $200 million to build 15 small, independent charter high schools, is in receivership. The murder rate is soaring, and 7 out of 10 remain unsolved. Three years after Katrina devastated New Orleans , unemployment in that city hit a peak of 11%. In Detroit , the unemployment rate is 28.9%.

That's worth spelling out: twenty-eight point nine percent." At the end of Okrent's report, and he will write a dozen more about Detroit, he said, "That's because the story of Detroit is not simply one of a great city's collapse, it's also about the erosion of the industries that helped build the country we know today. The ultimate fate of Detroit will reveal much about the character of America in the 21st century. If what was once the most prosperous manufacturing city in the nation has been brought to its knees, what does that say about our recent past? And if it can't find a way to get up, what does that say about our future?"

As you read in my book review of Chris Steiner's book, "$20 Per Gallon", the auto industry won't come back. Immigration will keep pouring more, and more uneducated third world immigrants from the Middle East into Detroit , thus creating a beachhead for Islamic hegemony in America . If 50 percent illiteracy continues, we will see more homegrown terrorists spawned out of the Muslim ghettos of Detroit . Illiteracy plus Islam equals walking human bombs.

You have already seen it in Madrid , Spain ; London , England and Paris , France with train bombings, subway bombings and riots. As their numbers grow, so will their power to enact their barbaric Sharia Law that negates republican forms of government, first amendment rights, and subjugates women to the lowest rungs on the human ladder. We will see more honor killings by upset husbands, fathers, and brothers that demand subjugation by their daughters, sisters and wives. Muslims prefer beheadings of women to scare the hell out of any other members of their sect from straying. Multiculturalism: what a perfect method to kill our language, culture, country, and way of life.

I PRAY EVERYONE THAT READS THIS REALIZES THAT IF WE DON'T STAND UP, AND SCREAM AT WASHINGTON , AND OUR STATE, CITY, AND LOCAL LEADERS THIS IS WHAT AWAITS THE REST OF AMERICA . IF YOU FOLLOW THE NEWS AT ALL YOU KNOW THIS HAS HAPPENED IN ENGLAND , AND FRANCE AND SPAIN .

IF YOU THINK THIS IS JUST A BUNCH OF HOOEY AND YOU FEEL NO DUTY TO FIGHT FOR THIS COUNTRY, THEN I'M SORRY, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT WILL TAKE FOR YOU TO STAND AND FIGHT.

"Democracy is two wolves and a lamb voting on what to have for lunch. Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote." -- Benjamin Franklin

Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff Speech
in Copenhagen at IFPS
A tip of the hat to Baron Bodissey at the Gates of Vienna blog, who sent us this stirring address by Austrian Free Speech advocate, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, whom we had interviewed for the NER just prior to her show trial in Vienna that began on November 23rd. Among others who will speak at the Danish Parliament in Copenhagen at this International Free Press Society event will be René Stadtkewitz (Germany) and Jimmie Åkesson (Sweden). Geert wilders had to cancel his appearance a few days ago. Rabbi Jon Hausman has traveled from the US to attend this important gathering of EU anti-Jihadists. We have called Elisabeth, the "Mother Courage of the 21st Century". Her young daughter Ella, husband, parents and thousands of international admirers hold her in great esteem. Having lived in Muslim countries and witnessed first hand Shariah and Islamic anti-Semitism, she has bared witness to the threats to Free Speech for all of us by daring to crticise Islam. As we are wont to say in Hebrew: Kol hakavod , Hazak v Amataz. (All honors. Be strong and of good courage).

The Time That is Given Us

The International Free Press Society sponsored a conference today in Copenhagen. Below is the speech that was given during the event by Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff (photo © Snaphanen).

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I stand here before you in the city of Copenhagen in the year 2010. This is widely considered to be an enlightened country in the heart of an enlightened continent.

Our basic freedoms have long been guaranteed — first by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights as passed by the United Nations in 1948, and then buttressed by the Council of Europe in 1950 through the European Convention of Human Rights, which was later affirmed by the European Union. Our individual countries have additionally codified the same basic rights in their own constitutions.

These rights include the freedom of individual conscience, the right to assemble peaceably, and the right to practice our religion freely, or to have no religion at all. And, perhaps most importantly of all, they include the right to voice our opinions freely and to publish them without hindrance.

Yet freedom of speech is under attack today here in Denmark, as it is in my own country Austria, and indeed all across Europe. Today, in 21st century Western Europe, our right to free speech is being shut down quietly and systematically with an effectiveness that the commissars in the old Soviet Union could only dream of.

A milestone in this ominous totalitarian trend will be reached tomorrow, 28 November 2010, when the member states of the European Union are required to implement an innocuous-sounding legal provision known as the “Framework decision on combating racism and xenophobia”, or, more fully, the “Council Framework Decision 2008/913/JHA of 28 November 2008 on combating certain forms and expressions of racism and xenophobia by means of criminal law.” According to the final article of the Framework Decision, “Member States shall take the necessary measures to comply with the provisions of this Framework Decision by 28 November 2010.”

Why does this matter to the cause of free speech in Europe?

If you read the full text of the Framework Decision (which may be found in the legislative section of the EU’s website), you will learn that “Each Member State shall take the measures necessary… to ensure that the following intentional conduct is punishable.” Such “intentional conduct” includes “conduct which is a pretext for directing acts against a group of persons or a member of such a group defined by reference to race, colour, descent, or national or ethnic origin.”

Based on what has recently happened to Geert Wilders and me — and earlier to Gregorius Nekschot, Jussi Halla-aho, and numerous others — we can all guess who will be punished under this provision of the Framework Decision: those who criticize Islam.

Even worse, a complaint made by a member state does not have to be “dependent on a report or an accusation made by a victim of the conduct”, nor does the alleged offender have to be “physically present in its territory”.

In other words, if the dhimmi Austrian government objects to a cartoon published by Kurt Westergaard here in Denmark, Mr. Westergaard may be extradited by the Austrian Ministry of Justice to answer to hate speech charges in Austria. The European Arrest Warrant guarantees that the Danish government cannot legally interfere with such an extradition, and the 800-strong “European Gendarmerie Force” would be available to fetch Mr. Westergaard out of his bed and bring him to Vienna — with impunity.

As of tomorrow, the above scenario becomes a real possibility. It is not a paranoid fantasy. These legal provisions are detailed in the EU’s public documents, and they will enjoy the full force of law in all EU member states as of midnight tonight.

The death throes of free speech in Europe begin tomorrow morning.

As most of you already know, nearly a year ago I was made aware that “hate speech” charges might be filed against me — I had “denigrated religious teachings” by giving one of my public lectures on Islam.

The possibility of my prosecution was not communicated to me directly, but through articles in the press.

It was not until last month that a court date was set for my case. Once again, I had to discover this fact in the press — in NEWS, the same left-wing newspaper that brought the original complaint against me. I was not officially notified of my hearing date until several days later.

The evidence used against me this past week was a transcript of a tape of my lecture, provided to the court by the same socialist newspaper. It included words that were not spoken by me, and words that were not spoken in public, which therefore were not a violation of the law.

But my case is not really about the law. It is a political trial, and like the trials of Geert Wilders and Jussi Halla-aho, it is intended to silence someone who speaks out against the barbaric nature of sharia law.

Above all else, it is intended to discourage anyone who might consider following in my footsteps. The oligarchs who rule Europe are determined to prevent any frank discussion among their citizens of Islam and its legal doctrines.

These are the methods of a totalitarian state.

They are more successful than those of the Nazis and the Fascists and the Communists because they are accomplished quietly and peacefully, with no need for concentration camps or gulags or mass graves or the shot in the back of the neck in the middle of the night.

They are surgical strikes executed via our legal systems, and they are quite effective. Between the summary punishment carried out against Theo Van Gogh and the Framework Decision applied though our courts, there is no room left for us to maneuver.

We are systematically being silenced.

I admire the provisions of the First Amendment that all Americans enjoy as their birthright. Its free speech provisions will make the imposition of sharia that much more difficult in the United States.

But here in Europe we are not so well-protected. Our constitutions and the rules imposed upon us by the EU allow certain exceptions to the right to speak freely, and those little rips in the fabric of our rights are enough to tear the entire structure to pieces.

We desperately need our own version of the First Amendment. We need leaders who are wise and courageous enough to compose and implement legal instruments that affirm the same fundamental rights that are guaranteed to all citizens by the United States Constitution.

We do not yet have any leaders of this caliber. But they are beginning to appear on the scene, and one day they will be the real leaders of our individual European nations, replacing the internationalist totalitarian usurpers who oppress us today.

Our nations will be governed by their own people, by those who truly represent them. Their leaders will be true patriots, people like Jimmie Åkesson and Kent Ekeroth in Sweden, or Oskar Freysinger in Switzerland, or Geert Wilders and Martin Bosma in the Netherlands, or Filip Dewinter and Frank Vanhecke in Flanders.

We are going to reclaim our continent and our nations. We will take our countries back from those thieves who sneaked them away from us while were lulled into somnolence by our wealth and our pleasant diversions.

This will not be an easy task. Our path will be strewn with obstacles and great dangers. But we must travel it nonetheless, because if we do not, European civilization — the heart of Western Civilization — will be destroyed.

What were formerly our nations will become regions with indistinct boundaries, populated mainly by people of foreign cultures and administered by corrupt totalitarian bureaucrats. The natives — the original inhabitants, our children, the descendants of those who created the greatest civilization the world has ever known — will be reduced to curators and costumed actors in a quaint theme park.

Call it “Euro World”. Authentic cuisine, ethnic dancers, and fireworks at ten o’clock.

This is what we will face if we give up our cherished freedoms. If lose our freedom of speech, then we are lost forever.

I am not a victim. I intend to stand up for what is right. I will defend what needs to be defended. Above everything else, I will exercise my God-given right to speak freely about what is happening. Freedom of speech is the single most important freedom we possess.

I am doing this for my daughter, and for her children, for those who will have to live in the world we are now preparing for them. I am doing what our grandparents should perhaps have done during the 1930s, when their own freedoms were under threat.

This is our time. This cup will not pass from us.

I am reminded of a passage in J.R.R. Tolkien’s famous trilogy, The Lord of the Rings.

It is an exchange between Frodo the hobbit and Gandalf the wizard, and it concerns the perilous quest on which Frodo and his friends have been sent.

Frodo says: “I wish it need not have happened in my time.”

Gandalf responds: “So do I, and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

It is time for us to decide what to do with the time that is given us.

If I were to speak these same words tomorrow morning, I might be subject to arrest. I could be charged under the provisions of the Framework Decision, and extradited to the country that charged me using a European Arrest Warrant, escorted by the European Gendarmerie.

This is not an imaginary scenario; it is a very real possibility.

It is true that only a few people are likely to undergo such an ordeal. But it only takes a few people.

How many people have to endure what Mr. Wilders and I are enduring before everyone else gets the message?

How many examples have to be set before the rest of the European population understands the new rules, and is cowed into submission?

And we must remember to whom they will be submitting in the end. They will be submitting to our successors in Europe. They will be submitting to our replacements.

We must remember that the word for submission in Arabic is Islam.

When there are enough Muslims living in Europe — and it doesn’t have to be a majority of the population, just somewhere around fifteen or twenty percent — we will be living under Islamic law, and not the laws that presently govern us.

We will no longer enjoy what constitutional rights remain to us now. Our rights will be completely prescribed and delimited by sharia. Women will become the virtual chattel of men. Christians and Jews will be driven out or forced to convert to Islam. Atheists and homosexuals will be killed.

The European Union would consider these words to be “hate speech”. Under the Framework Decision, they would be classified as “racism and xenophobia”, and I could be prosecuted for saying them.

But they are in fact the simple truth.

Anyone can verify them by studying history. Anyone who chooses can read the Koran and the hadith and the Sunna of the Prophet.

Widely available official treatises on Islamic law confirm that my description is not “hate speech”, but a plain and accurate reading of the tenets of Islamic law.

It has become obvious that to tell the truth about Islam is now considered “incitement to religious hatred”.

It is now clear that non-Muslims who reveal the tenets of sharia law to the public are “denigrating religious teachings”.

If we meekly accept these rules, then we are acquiescing in the imposition of sharia law in our own nations. And I, for one, will not sit silently while this happens.

I don’t want my daughter to live under sharia.

Our time is short. If you and I do not envision an Islamic future for ourselves, then we must speak out now.

If we wish to preserve the right to speak and publish freely, then we must exercise it now.

I wish this need not have happened in my time. But it has.

We must make full use of the time that remains to us.

Thank you.

INNOCENCE LOST

2010-11-12T18:19:00.000-08:00

If you haven't seen the following, it is something you should be aware of in the Muslim World.

While all Muslims are not terrorists, the majority of terrorists in the world today are Muslim. Do these pictures demonstrate extremism or are these people just plain Muslims with a peculiar culture?

Mass Muslim Marriage in Gaza

Poor kids - what a terrible fate to be born as a girl in a Muslim country.

Muhammad married a six year old bride. But he was kind enough to wait until she was nine years old to consummate the "marriage". But Islam has evolved in 1500 years. In Hamas land, in 2009, the brides are almost seven.

450 Grooms Wed GIRLS Under Ten In Gaza

A gala event has occurred in Gaza.

Hamas sponsored a mass wedding for four hundred and fifty couples. Most of the grooms were in their mid to late twenties; most of brides were under ten.

Muslim dignitaries including Mahmud Zahar, a leader of Hamas, were on hand to congratulate the couples who took part in the carefully staged celebration.

We are saying to the world and to America that you cannot deny us joy and happiness, Zahar told the grooms, all of whom were dressed in identical black suits and hailed from the nearby Jabalia refugee camp.

Each groom received a gift of 500 dollars from Hamas.

The pre-pubescent girls, dressed in white gowns and adorned with garish make-up, received bridal bouquets.

We are presenting this wedding as a gift to our people who stood firm in the face of the siege and the war, Local Hamas strongman Ibrahim Salaf said in a speech.

The wedding photos tell the rest of the sordid tale.

The International Center for Research on Women now estimates that there are 51 million child brides now living on planet earth and almost all in Muslim countries.

Twenty-nine percent of these child brides are regularly beaten and molested by their husbands in Egypt ; twenty six percent receive similar abuse in Jordan.

Every year, three million Muslim girls are subjected to genital mutilation, according to UNICEF. This practice has not been outlawed in many parts of America.

Decide how you really feel about the future of the Western World.

Islam’s Invasion

2010-11-01T06:48:00.000-07:00

Islam’s Invasion Ideology.
by Martel Sobieskey

In the same way that a fake $100 bill is not legitimate currency, Islam is a counterfeit religion and therefore does not qualify for first amendment status. It is extremely incorrect to categorize Islam as a religion when its core literature and bloody track record prove a thousand times over that it is an -- Invasion ideology, a shrewd and cunning predator -- disguising itself as a religion.

Irrefutable evidence proves Islam to be a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” and a “Trojan horse” hell bent upon destroying all religions and nations worldwide. This irrefutable evidence is a book called the Koran where Allah commands that all Muslims must wage Jihad until the entire world and every single person is either converted to Islam, enslaved, murdered, tortured or abused.

“Fight them until all opposition ends, and all submit to Allah” (Koran: 8:39)

The Koran is a Manual of War

It is an error for anyone to call Islam a religion, but for those who insist, it’s best referred to as a “Religion of War” that has arrived on our shore as an enemy invader for the sole purpose of conquering our nation. This point cannot be overemphasized.

The Koran vows to vanquish all religions and nations worldwide. Allah himself is the protagonist who relishes the role of a “hit man” vowing to knock off every person who rejects Islam -- sending them to burn in everlasting hell. For Allah, there is nothing more heinous and loathsome than those infidels (non-believers) who refuse to convert, and there is nothing he will not do to eradicate them.

“I will terrorize the unbelievers. Therefore, smite them on their necks and every joint and incapacitate them. Strike off their heads and cut off their fingers and toes.” (Koran 8:12)

“Allah wished to confirm the truth by his words: Wipe the infidels out to the last.” (Koran: 8:7)

Read the Koran for Yourself

Don’t take my word on it. Read the Koran. By so doing you will be outraged and ask, “Why in heavens name would any person with integrity and intellectual objectivity call such a blood thirsty and homicidally bigoted “tirade” -- a sacred and holy book?”

Below are two sources for authentic passages from the Koran. The first is entitled "Islamic Quotes" taken from prophetofdoom.net . It provides a few hundred quotes organized into 30 different categories and is very “digestible” giving immediate insight into the malevolence of the Koran and related Islamic texts. The second is an article by Citizen Warrior encouraging everyone to read the Koran, especially “An Abridged Koran” by CSPI. The advantage of the abridged version is that it eliminates monotonous repetition and provides commentary giving a comprehensive perspective and meaning to the text.

Neutralizing Islam

One does not need a crystal ball to foretell that Islam will turn America into a living hell if left unchecked. 9/11 was America’s initiation into the so called “religious rites” of Islam. Millions of Americans are outraged that the real culprit in this attack has been given a “free pass” to continue its rampage.

Since 9/11, the religion of peace website has documented 16,124 deadly attacks committed by Islam as mandated by the Koran. These prove that Islam does not deserve the status of a religion and that America has been hoodwinked by so doing. We need to face reality, and implement effective methods if we wish to protect our nation from this religious imposter.

One writer bringing clarity to the situation is Daniel Greenfield. In his article: “Can We Ban Islam? Legal Guidelines for the Criminalization of Islam in the United States” he states in the affirmative that America can legally ban Islam because:

“Organizations aimed at the overthrow of the United States can be banned and membership in them can even be criminalized.”

They key word here is “overthrow”. Any group that wishes to overthrow the United States can be banned. It is well past time for open debate and discussion upon this issue in regards to Islam.

To reiterate, Islam does not qualify for religion status in the USA because it an Invasion Ideology which absolutely mandates the conquest of the United States. Please see my related article entitled "Demoting Islam's Religion Status" it provides the basic elements for discussion and reflection. Also, a must see “you tube” video named "3 Things about Islam" provides a concise summary of the challenge we face. It is imperative for all Americans to learn the truth about Islam or it will eventually destroy us.

Martel Sobieskey has 36 years research experience in the field of religious conditioning and its relationship to warfare. He is greatly alarmed that American politicians, military commanders, educators, journalists, intelligence analysts, and security and police personnel have failed to comprehend the deeply entrenched jihadist conditioning inherent in all of Islam – moderates included.

OUR CHURCHES TODAY, ARE WRONG...*

2010-10-01T05:28:00.000-07:00

On December 7th, 1941, Pearl Harbor Hawaii Was Attacked by the Imperial Japanese Navy while our ships were at Anchor. One-Half of our Pacific Fleet was destroyed in less than 2 hours!

The United States had just begun to recover from the most devastating financial depression in our history, and we were totally unprepared for war. How could we possibly respond to this catastrophic event?

We Mobilized Into Action Nationwide;..."We the People" had backbone; it was an incredible time to be alive!

Our peace-time factories converted into 'Defense Plants'; Aircraft engineers designed & built war-planes, and Detroit, Michigan began production of trucks & ambulances, and Sherman Tanks to face Hitler's Panzer Divisions, and our Kaiser Ships built a sea-going fleet designed to carry troops & war material to battle zones. We were in fact gearing-up for World War II, and we were..United!

Hollywood came up with an inspiring battle song: "Praise the Lord, And Pass the Ammunition" - Defeat or Surrender Was Not An Option. We became the 'Arsenal of Democracy' for our Allied Forces, and citizens shed their civilian clothes to train for the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, and Air Force...12 million strong!

Today, Freedom Is Again Under Attack, by a vicious and intractable 1400 yr old kill-culture, that masquerades as 'the religion of peace'. It has multiple faces; It is political, with military components. Islam has huge Oil-wealth to fund mosques & madrassa, and sends agents to infiltrate Europe and the Americas. They disguise these invaders in sheep's clothing to fool the great productive populations of many nations, everywhere. "War Is Deceit" - Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, #269.

By their fruits ye shall know them; they pretend moderation and 'peace & love' , and they hide their true motives behind a blood-soaked, suicidal death-shroud of beheadings, honor-killings, and stonings of their own people! Ahmadinejad's Iran, is close to dominating the entire Middle-East with a game-changing nuclear capability. If the Egyptians & the Saudi Arabs are worried, shouldn't the rest of the world?

* Many Of Our Churches Today Are Wrong... Dead Wrong.

Many of our church pastors, priests and reverands are the 'useful idiots' that play into the hands of these "moderate imams" ...with candlelite prayer-vigils, hoping to build "bridges to understanding", and with "willful blindness" they totally ignore the following quotes:

Allah's Apostle said: "I have become victorious with terror." Bukhari, Vol 4, Book 52, 220. Also, "...strike terror into(the hearts of) your enemies of Allah, and your enemies." Qur'an, 8:60

"I will strike terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore, strike off their heads, and strike off every finger-tip of them." - Qur'an 8:12

"Fight and slay the Pagans where ever ye find them, and lie in wait for them, in every strategm of war. - Qur'an 9:5

Red Alert, America!

2010-09-21T11:18:00.000-07:00

> This Will Give You Cold Chills!

Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament.

In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: ‘who lost Europe?' Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands, at the Four Seasons, New York, introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me. I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world.

There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic.

We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States as the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe. Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem.

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe. These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe, street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe. With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam, Marseille and Malmo in Sweden. In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin. The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels, because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya, Israel. I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe. San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France. One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey.

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel. First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines, Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan, Lebanon, and Aceh in Indonesia. Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel. It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel, Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West. It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel, they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands, 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome, Athens and Jerusalem...

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe, American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe’s children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

Please take the time to read and understand what is written here, please send it to every free person that you know - it is so very important.

Moderate Muslims?
by Amillennialist

Moderate Muslims? They are considered apostates by mainstream Muslims, and even some of them explode if you point out Muhammad's crimes against humanity. There may be moderate Muslims, but Islam itself is not moderate.

An easy test to determine whether or not a mosque is advancing shari'a is this: is it Sunni or Shia? For no major school of Islamic jurisprudence rejects either offensive jihad against non-Muslims or shari'a; they disagree only on details irrelevant to non-Muslims.

What's the best that you can hope for from someone who believes that Qur'an is the literal word of the only god? And that Muhammad is a "beautiful pattern of conduct" for those who want to please Allah?

Thank you, Reb.

reb,

The focus on the contents of the Koran misses the point. Both the Bible and the Koran are jam-packed with violence, war, mayhem, rape, murder, child abuse, terror, plagues, diseases and the wrath of angry gods. Moreover, both are works of fiction.

The difference lies elsewhere - where church and state are Not Separated.

Some Christians may claim the Bible has divine origins. Muslims say the Koran is the infallible word of their crazy god. If they were to keep their lunatic religion out of their governments, peace would break out all over the world.

But over the 1,400 years of islam's history, the two have been one, which means there's a military attached.

Unfortunately, Americans seem incapable of focusing on the islamic unity of church and state. We generally get tied up in silly debates about Freedom of Religion and Freedom of Speech, neither of which are permitted by islam -- the government.

If the US Government were to view islam as it truly is -- a conquering force aimed at imposing its ideology everywhere it can -- it would get the same treatment as a drug-dealing street gang. Mosques are Trojan Horses.

Consciously or not, Obama understands the islamic game. Meanwhile, he's aiding and abetting islam's worst goals everywhere on the planet. It seems Iran has fired up its nuclear plant. Fortunately, muslims are such towering technical incompetents that problems at the plant are inevitable. If muslims control it and operate it, an accident will occur.

The newest attempt to pretend the palestinians want to discuss peace is yet another Obama failure to come. Inasmuch as the ONLY solution palestinians will accept is one that moves all Jews out of Israel and dissolves the country, there's no chance Obama will broker a peace deal. Also, it seems the press has forgotten that Hamas is the elected government of Gaza and there is zero chance the government of Gaza is willing to co-exist with Israel. Thus, talks led by Abbas are meaningless.

Furthermore, if muslim atrocities truly concerned Obama, he would have said he was disturbed by the release of the Pan Am flight 103 bomber. If Obama felt the need to speak out about issues affecting the relations between muslims and non-muslims, rather than spout off about a mosque in Manhattan, he could have chosen the safe domestic political target of the stupidity of springing a mass murderer for bad reasons.

But no, like Bill Clinton on the obvious guilt of OJ, he has said nothing. In other words, he's showing some sympathy for this living muslim mass murdering terrorist in Libya.

Meanwhile, I'll bet Obama never attended a formal Christian education class like I did for Confirmation into the faith. Not that it matters much. But his hapless mouthpiece Robert Gibbs has said a few times "Of course he's a Christian", which makes me think the White House staff is scrambling for a way to document the moment Obama came to Jesus.

Earlier, I got a laugh. One critic said Reverend Wright's church was a black muslim operation in Christian drag. From what I've seen and read of Trinity Church and its leader, that sounds about right.

These are troubling times. This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim. This is not heresy. Make sure you read the paragraph (in red) towards the end.

Joys of Muslim Women
by Nonie Darwish

In the Muslim faith a Muslim man can marry a child as young as 1 year old and have sexual intimacy with this child, consummating the marriage by 9. The dowry is given to the family in exchange for the woman (who becomes his slave) and for the purchase of the private parts of the woman, to use her as a toy.

Even though a woman is abused, she can not obtain a divorce. To prove rape, the woman must have (4) male witnesses. Often after a woman has been raped, she is returned to her family and the family must return the dowry. The family has the right to execute her (an honor killing) to restore the honor of the family. Husbands can beat their wives 'at will' and the man does not have to say why he has beaten her.

The husband is permitted to have 4 wives and a temporary wife for an hour (prostitute) at his discretion.

The Shariah Muslim law controls the private as well as the public life of the woman.

In the Western World ( America ) Muslim men are starting to demand Shariah Law so the wife can not obtain a divorce and he can have full and complete control of her. It is amazing and alarming how many of our sisters and daughters attending American Universities are now marrying Muslim men and submitting themselves and their children unsuspectingly to the Shariah law.

By passing this on, enlightened American women may avoid becoming a slave under Shariah Law. Ripping the West in Two Author and lecturer Nonie Darwish says the goal of radical Islamists is to impose Shariah law on the world, ripping Western law and liberty in two.

She recently authored the book, Cruel and Usual Punishment: The Terrifying Global Implications of Islamic Law.

Darwish was born in Cairo and spent her childhood in Egypt and Gaza before immigrating to America in 1978, when she was eight years old. Her father died while leading covert attacks on Israel . He was a high-ranking Egyptian military officer stationed with his family in Gaza ..

When he died, he was considered a "shahid," a martyr for jihad. His posthumous status earned Nonie and her family an elevated position in Muslim society.

But Darwish developed a skeptical eye at an early age. She questioned her own Muslim culture and upbringing. She converted to Christianity after hearing a Christian preacher on television.

In her latest book, Darwish warns about creeping sharia law - what it is, what it means, and how it is manifested in Islamic countries.

For the West, she says radical Islamists are working to impose sharia on the world. If that happens, Western civilization will be destroyed. Westerners generally assume all religions encourage a respect for the dignity of each individual Islamic law (Sharia) teaches that non-Muslims should be subjugated or killed in this world.

Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

Peace and prosperity for one's children is not as important as assuring that Islamic law rules everywhere in the Middle East and eventually in the world.

While Westerners tend to think that all religions encourage some form of the golden rule, Sharia teaches two systems of ethics - one for Muslims and another for non-Muslims. Building on tribal practices of the seventh century, Sharia encourages the side of humanity that wants to take from and subjugate others.

While Westerners tend to think in terms of religious people developing a personal understanding of and relationship with God, Sharia advocates executing people who ask difficult questions that could be interpreted as criticism.

It's hard to imagine, that in this day and age, Islamic scholars agree that those who criticize Islam or choose to stop being Muslim should be executed. Sadly, while talk of an Islamic reformation is common and even assumed by many in the West, such murmurings in the Middle East are silenced through intimidation.

While Westerners are accustomed to an increase in religious tolerance over time, Darwish explains how petro dollars are being used to grow an extremely intolerant form of political Islam in her native Egypt and elsewhere.

In twenty years there will be enough Muslim voters in the U.S. to elect the President by themselves! Rest assured they will do so... You can look at how they have taken over several towns in the USA .. Dearborn Mich. is one... and there are others...

I think everyone in the U.S. should be required to read this, but with the ACLU, there is no way this will be widely publicized, unless each of us sends it on!

It is too bad that so many are disillusioned with life and Christianity to accept Muslims as peaceful.. some may be but they have an army that is willing to shed blood in the name of Islam.. the peaceful support the warriors with their finances and own kind of patriotism to their religion. While America is getting rid of Christianity from all public sites and erasing God from the lives of children the Muslims are planning a great jihad on America ..

This is your chance to make a difference...! Pass it on to your email list or at least those you think will listen..

DAWA..The Call To Islam

2010-08-13T19:29:00.000-07:00

THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO FEAR...
Is Public Apathy & Ignorance
"We the People" are under direct assault from a vicious 'kill-culture' that has built 1200 mosques in 50 states, and now hopes to erect a 13-story monstrosity in the shadow of N.Y. City's Twin Towers where 2973 innocents died on 9/11/2001.

Adding Insult to Injury, N.Y. City Mayor Bloomberg approves of this DAWA..This Call To Islam. It's a Victory Symbol, spitting in the face of the families that lost close relatives on that Day of Infamy.

It's past the day when we must strike back; No More..of this insane, idiotic behavior...We Shall Not Submit, Not Ever!

If You don't know about Islam, you must first inform yourself, then your family members. Read "The Grand Jihad" by Andrew McCarthy - Study It!

The Saga of Two Billionaires

2010-08-01T07:41:00.000-07:00

Part I This is the story of two unusual men, and their quest for uncommon wealth.

Bernie Madoff - He developed an elaborate "Ponzi Scheme", the most successful swindle in the annals of financial history. He accumulated 50 billion dollars, and Bernie used greed as his weapon of choice over his investors. Objective: Money. Shrewd old Bernie was convicted, and is now in prison for life.

George Soros - Uncle Georgie used an elaborate plan of trading in foreign currencies to amass his fortune, nearly bankrupting British banking, with a clever assault on the Pound Sterling. Then Soros spent a few million promoting 'gay rights' and 'easy access' to abortions in several European nations, before his political adventures in the U.S.A.

Analysis: A Super-Manipulator, and rude author of "The Bubble of American Supremacy" Soros spent countless millions promoting Al Gore in 2000, John Kerry in 2004, and finally succeeded by dropping Hillary Clinton, and endorsing Barack Hussein Obama in 2008.

In 2009-2010 George Soros now has easy access to White House staffers in Obama.nation's Neo-Progressive Administration along with S.E.I.U. Boss, Andrew Stern!

Part II The Saga of Two Minor Bloggers The first person here is the anonymous WhyNot..and this nebulous creature created the 'no-holds-barred' Pourquoi Pas Blog, a naughty Parisian Oddity, that enjoys considerable success appealing to the negatives in human nature with banal techniques, using vulgar language & salacious quips. He carefully coaches his minions in the use of cute slur-words like "racist - fascist - and xenophobic" to generate hatred & confusion among followers as well as targeted victims. Mr "WhyNot" seems solidly Pro-Palestine--Anti-Israel.

Objectives? Who can say, other than to observe the negatives; it appears to be a bulletin- board for unhappy people that have no voice within a family unit, or in their community.

"Snake Hunters" -- An Info-Blog...designed to give this old man a chance to expound on and praise our Founding Fathers, the U.S. Constitution, and 1st Amendment fundamentals, and to Expose George Soros & SEIU Union Boss Andrew Stern... to Unaware Citizens.

A Challenge to My Detractors: Find, and Point to Any Nation with a "More Perfect Union", with Superior Laws, more Potential for Freedom to Pursue Happiness, a Decent Education, & a Good Job, and/or Opportunity to Build a Suceessful Business...than here in the United States. Find That Nation of Quality, so that we can carefully inspect this "Impossible Dream". - reb

Islamic Jihad By Any Means Available

2010-06-12T19:18:00.000-07:00

from blog by no_slappz

The mushroom cloud threatening the world today is not from a nuclear bomb, though that danger is part of the islamic arsenal. The big threat today is from something much closer to the oil leak in the Gulf. Something bad is seeping into the environment. The bad thing is the slow steady spread of islam and sharia law in our part of the world.

The 'peaceful' Jihad in America

June 1, 2010

Most Americans don't realize that jihad is about much more than terrorism.

Even the terrorists don't blow up buildings for the sake of blowing up buildings. There is method in their madness.

Jihad is not mindless mass-murder, nor is it a syrupy "internal struggle to become a better person." No, jihad is the mission to establish and spread sharia.

The installation of Allah's law, believed by Muslims to be a divine injunction, is the necessary precondition to the creation of Islamic societies. While it can, and often is, waged forcibly, Islamists don't resort to violence (or, at least, to more violence) where surrenders, appeasements and capitulations are available.

And al Qaeda is merely an offshoot of the central Islamist group, the Muslim Brotherhood, or Hizb al-Ikhwan al-Muslimin. Founded in 1928, the Ikhwan's motto to this day remains, "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. The Koran is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope."

In 1991, Mohamed Akram, a US-based chieftain of the Brotherhood, penned a memo for the eyes of the central leadership in Egypt. Later seized by the FBI, this self-described "Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America" outlined the game-plan for what the organization regards as its "civilizational" war against the West:

"The Ikhwan 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."

Nor was there anything new about this "grand jihad." During a post-9/11 raid, Swiss authorities found a similar smoking gun -- a methodical plan for the long-term "cultural invasion" of the West -- written by Brotherhood theorists in 1982.

As a matter of fact, this sabotage strategy has been in place for nearly half a century. Its bottom-up elements stress Islamist domination of Muslim education, mosques and community centers. From these bases of operation in every city, the Brotherhood's method is not terrorize but to slipstream behind Islamist terrorists, assuming the posture of "moderates."

The goal is to seep sharia -- Islam's totalitarian legal code that governs not just the spiritual realm but all aspects of life -- into our politics, law, financial system, educational institutions, labor negotiations, familial relations, and all facets of our domestic and foreign policy, from health care to engagement with Iran.

Yes, 31 years after the Iranian revolution, 17 years after Islamists declared war on the United States by bombing the World Trade Center and nine years after the 9/11 atrocities, the American people are still in the dark about the daunting challenge we face. Under jihadist siege for decades, we still don't even get what jihad is and why it isn't just about "violent extremists" -- the politically correct term now used by government officials in their desperation to bleach the Islam out of Islamist terror.

Two years ago, I wrote about this ethos of conscious avoidance in "Willful Blindness." But that was a memoir about trying to confront international terrorism as a federal prosecutor in the 1990s. The forces arrayed against us are much more extensive and insidious than al Qaeda, and they are not just pressing the limitations of our criminal-justice system.

The game-plan being executed against us targets American constitutional democracy itself, taking aim at its core principles of individual liberty.

Lavishly backed by Saudi billions thanks to a decades-old partnership with the kingdom, the Brotherhood is now raising, in our midst, its third generation of operatives and sympathizers. Its tentacles include such high-profile organizations as the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America and the Muslim American Society (the Brotherhood's semi-official American branch).

Our opinion elites are only too happy to take at face value the claims of these groups to be "moderate." Indeed, our government, media and academies are reluctant to discuss Islam honestly, let alone Islamist ideology.

And effectively allied with the jihadists is the hard left across the West. For all their differences (e.g., on abortion and the rights of women and homosexuals) Islam and the Left are in essential harmony when it comes to their vision of authoritarian government and their perception of the immediate obstacle to their designs: American constitutional democracy.

What the global Islamist project is doing, and how, are the subjects of my new book, "The Grand Jihad: How Islam and the Left Sabotage America," published last week. It is the story of the ideology that not only fuels anti-American terror but stokes a sedulous jihadist campaign to Islamicize our society -- not without firing a shot, but by capitalizing on the shots that have already been fired.

A grand jihad is hell-bent on sabotaging America. We ignore it at our peril.

What Drives Islamto be the Religion of War

2010-04-17T07:40:00.000-07:00

by Daniel Greenfield and Sultan Knish

"He it is who has sent His Messenger (Mohammed) with guidance and the religion of truth (Islam) to make it victorious over all religions even though the infidels may resist." Koran 61:9

Hezbollah (Party of Allah) in Lebanon

Why is Islam constantly a source of war, violence and discord? The problem simply enough is theological, because to its followers the validity of Islam is directly connected to its physical supremacy. As followers of the purported "final revelation" to mankind, Muslims not only have the obligation to conquer and subjugate the rest of the world, their religion is only meaningful to the extent that they can carry on the work begun by Mohammed.

Since Islam derives meaning primarily from physical supremacy, war becomes an act of faith. To believe in Islam, is to have faith that it must and will conquer and subjugate the entire world. And to be a true Muslim, one must feel called to aid in that global conquest, whether it is by providing money and resources to the Jihadists or to be a Jihadist yourself. Because Islam is expressed in physical supremacy, violence against non-Muslims become the essence of religion. And anything that suggests Islam is not absolutely superior touches on Islamic insecurities as blasphemy.

When Muslims explode into outbursts of violent rage over seemingly petty things like a cartoon or a teddy bear named Mohammed, it is because to them, any loss of face for Islam is the worst kind of blasphemy. Because Islam is a religion of physical supremacy, and anything that challenges that supremacy is a direct attack on their beliefs. What the Ten Commandments are for the Jew, or the resurrection of Jesus for the Christian-- is the physical dominance of Islam to the Muslim. It is the basis and fulfillment of his faith.

Therefore by waging war on the infidels, by planting a minaret in one of their cities, by forcing non-Muslims into a submissive position-- to the Muslim this is an act that affirms the truth and power of Islam. By causing infidels to "lose face", the Muslim fulfills the Koranic verse which promises that Allah had sent Mohammed to make Islam supreme over all religions. By contrast when Islam "loses face", an act of blasphemy has been committed, which can only be righted religiously by killing the non-Muslims, thereby forcing them to lose face and once again affirming the physical superiority of Islam.

This creates the cycle of violence that the media loves to harp on so much, but it is not the result of Western oppression, it is the result of Muslims feeling oppressed if they are not on top. When your belief system explicitly proclaims its wille zur macht, its Will to Power, the idea of multiculturalism and co-existence becomes a joke. To co-exist with non-Muslims is itself blasphemous for a Muslim, which proclaims "Do not take the Jews and the Christians for friends" (Koran 5:51) and whose final command was to ethnically cleanse the Jews and Christians of the Arabian Peninsula. Islam does not co-exist, for its followers its truth can only be found in conquering non-Muslims.

Whereas most religions can accept being in the inferior position, because their fundamental faith in spiritual, rather than material-- Islam has little to it but the material. Even its paradise exists in the form of the sort of physical pleasures that its followers crave, fancy robes, exquisite banquets, golden couches, and of course that famed appeal to the dedicated Jihadist, "curvaceous virgins... and an overflowing cup" (Koran 78:33-34). Islamic Heaven is essentially a grossly exaggerated version of the kind of loot that Mohammed's followers expected to find by following him in the first place, gold, jewels, silk, spices and young girls.

The gang of throat slitters who accompanied Mohammed on his massacres across the region were given a religious incentive that would transcend death. Even if they died in battle and would not live to enjoy all the jewels, overflowing cups and girls-- the Koran promised it to them in heaven anyway. One can imagine the gang or robbers, escaped slaves and ambitious desert rats trailing after Mohammed across desert dunes, their minds filled with the feverish promises of rich loot from the caravans they were raiding. And in the feverish heat, the idea that they would receive even better loot if they were to die in battle, making death preferable to life, would have actually seemed plausible.

Out of such such petty greed and lust did Islam initially expand. Its code was that of the tribesman, to lose face or engage in vendetta. Except Islam's face and vendetta did not involve a single man or a clan, it came to involve over a billion people, who found meaning in working toward the final conquest of Islam. The global triumph of a desert raider's clumsily hammered together mass of Jewish and Christian beliefs and tribal customs and legends, and his own biography, used as a tool of conquest, forging temporary unities out of quarreling tribes and clans.

And now Islam's vendetta is worldwide. Every insecurity translates into a provocation. Every jealous impulse never satisfied explodes into violent rage. Every conflict for thousands of years breeds a new vendetta. Did Muslims once live somewhere? They must reclaim it, for to fail to do so is blasphemous and a betrayal of Allah and Mohammed's mission. Did Muslims never live somewhere? Then they must go there now, and raise up minarets and proclaim the superiority of Islam, for to do otherwise is a failure to expand the borders of the Ummah, which is a betrayal of Allah and Mohammed's mission.

The very existence of people living free and happy, free from Islamic dominion, is blasphemy. Blasphemy that must be remedied by bringing them into Islam, or under the rule of Islamic law. Either one enforces the supremacy of Islam, because it is not absolutely necessary that everyone believe in Islam. As a matter of fact it would be rather inconvenient as there is little point on being on top, if there isn't anyone on the bottom. A world filled with nothing but Muslims, would deny the Believers the chance to lord it over the infidels. What matters though is that everyone be subservient to Islam, whether as Muslims or Dhimmis.

Meanwhile people who were once under Islamic dominion living free of Islam, is worse than blasphemy, it is an insult and an attack on Islam. That is what is behind the Muslim homicidal obsession with Israel, which had until recently been in Muslim hands under the Ottoman Empire. However even nations such as Spain, which had been lost to the Ummah long ago, still inspire rage. The liberation of the Jews from Islamic dominion is a particularly sore point, but not the only one. For all that the Koran rants about Jews and Christians, its ultimate aim is worldwide.

The intersection of Islam and Terrorism is not coincidental or the result of specific political moves made by non-Muslim nations, as the conventional narrative claims. It is the inevitable result of Islamic theology which is supremacist and materialist, which when combined with the honor-shame code of a tribal culture, drives it compulsively toward war and conquest. The actions of non-Muslim nations serve only as variables to create a context within which the supremacism of Islam expresses itself. These contexts may vary as often as the justifications used in a Bin Laden video. But the context itself is irrelevant in the larger history and theology of Islam. Because in the end, the problem of Islamic violence is the problem of Islam.

Continuum of Wars

2010-03-25T15:04:00.000-07:00

Continuum of Wars ( Part I )

To gain an accurate perspective of the last five thousand years of man's struggle for survival,it is necessary for historians to focus some attention on the religious variety within different cultures, and the obvious inclinations toward ugly blood-lust, and wars. Also, those very brief intervals of peace to regroup and re-equip armies, and to plan for the next offensive.

Long before King Hammurabi's Code (The First Written Law, 1800 B.C.), there were grim tribal conflcts, often with beheadings and/or mutilations, with both the human and animal sacrifice to their Gods. Some of these included cannibalism. However, all of this is beyond the purposes of this post, where the author hopes to alert today's politicians and diplomats to our more imminent peril of nuclear war in the first half of this century.

Chronological Jihad

Muslim apologists are quick to point to the term 'Jihad' as a "struggle", and not necessarily a Holy War. It is left to the individual to reach their own considered judgement on this axiom.

• The First Jihad was against the Arabs (622 - to 634 A.D.)

• Next, the Jihad against Zoroastrian Persians, Beluchistan & Afganistan (634-651)

• The Jihad against Byzantine Christians (634 -1453)

• The Jihad against Christian Coptics - Egypt (640 - 655)

• The Jihad against Christian Coptic Nubians - Modern Sudanese (650)

• The Jihad against Spaniards (711 - 730) King Rodrigo beheaded!

• * The Reconquista (victory) over the Jihadists in Spain (730 - 1492)

• The Jihad against Franks - the modern French (720 - 732)

• The Jihad against Sicilians in Italy (812 - 940)

• The Jihad against Chinese (751)

• The Jihad against Turks (651 - 751)

• The Jihad against Armenians & Georgians (1071 - 1920)

• * The Crusade against Jihad (1096 - 1291) is "on-going."

• The Jihad against Mongols (1260 - 1300)

• The Jihad against Hindus of India, Pakistan & bangladesh (638 - 1857) - 'ongoing'.

• The Jihad against Indonesians and Malays (1450 - 1500)

• The Jihad against Poland (1444 - 1500)

• The Jihad against Rumania (1350 - 1699)

• The Jihad against Russia (1500 - 1853)

• The Jihad against Bulgaria (1350 - 1843)

• The Jihad against Serbs, Croats and Albanians (1334 - 1920)

• The Jihad against Greeks (1450 - 1853)

• The Jihad against Albania (1332 - 1853)

• The Jihad against Croatia (1389 - 1843)

• The Jihad against Hungarians (1500 - 1683)

• The Jihad against Austrians ((1683)

Two Contrasting Opinions

2010-02-11T05:38:00.000-08:00

It has been over 30 years since Iran grabbed our U.S. Embassy In Tehran, November 4, 1979 - An Act of War!

In all of that time the world has witnessed thousands of suicide bombs from Mumbai, India to Madrid, to London and New York City, plus the bombings in African Embassies, plus beheadings, also the ugly stonings of young Muslim women, the "honor-killings, the mutilations of captives in diverse times and places. See: Qura'n 5:33..Grim stuff!

What's this carnage of innocents about? Most will agree that it's a "holy war", a Muslim Jihad, creating terror. Allah's Apostle Muhammad said, "I have been made victorious with terror." Bukhari, Vol. 4, Book 52, #220

Moderate Muslims Disagree.

Recently we took a simple question, the single word "mujahada" to two authoritative sources, for a concise definition.

The Islamic scholar, Nuh Ha Mim Keller, who translated the classic book on Shari'a Law, "Reliance of The Traveler." The book states in Section 09.0 "Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and it is derived from the word "mujahada", signifying warfare to establish the religion."

There we have it, from a well-known authority.

The opposing view is offered by Mohamed on his "Understanding Islam" blog. {See Snake Hunter Links}

Mohamed Fadly sez, "Jihad doesn't mean to war against non-Muslims. Jihad means struggle, to make all efforts."

We report, you decide.* - reb _ _ _ *(Comment at bottom of Post.)

ISLAMIZATION!

2010-02-01T06:44:00.000-08:00

Understanding Islam:

The Hate Crime

THIS SPEECH CLEARLY SHOWS OUR SITUATION IN THE WORLD.....

Geert Wilders is a Dutch Member of Parliament. 'In a generation or two, the US will ask itself: who lost Europe ?'

Here is the speech of Geert Wilders, Chairman, Party for Freedom, the Netherlands , at the Four Seasons, New York , introducing an Alliance of Patriots and announcing the Facing Jihad Conference in Jerusalem .

Dear friends,

Thank you very much for inviting me.

I come to America with a mission. All is not well in the old world. There is a tremendous danger looming, and it is very difficult to be optimistic. We might be in the final stages of the Islamization of Europe. This not only is a clear and present danger to the future of Europe itself, it is a threat to America and the sheer survival of the West. The United States is the last bastion of Western civilization, facing an Islamic Europe.

First I will describe the situation on the ground in Europe . Then, I will say a few things about Islam. To close I will tell you about a meeting in Jerusalem .

The Europe you know is changing.

You have probably seen the landmarks. But in all of these cities, sometimes a few blocks away from your tourist destination, there is another world. It is the world of the parallel society created by Muslim mass-migration.

All throughout Europe a new reality is rising: entire Muslim neighborhoods where very few indigenous people reside or are even seen. And if they are, they might regret it. This goes for the police as well. It's the world of head scarves, where women walk around in figureless tents, with baby strollers and a group of children. Their husbands, or slaveholders if you prefer, walk three steps ahead. With mosques on many street corners. The shops have signs you and I cannot read. You will be hard-pressed to find any economic activity. These are Muslim ghettos controlled by religious fanatics. These are Muslim neighborhoods, and they are mushrooming in every city across Europe . These are the building-blocks for territorial control of increasingly larger portions of Europe , street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood, city by city.

There are now thousands of mosques throughout Europe . With larger congregations than there are in churches. And in every European city there are plans to build super-mosques that will dwarf every church in the region. Clearly, the signal is: we rule.

Many European cities are already one-quarter Muslim: just take Amsterdam , Marseille and Malmo in Sweden . In many cities the majority of the under-18 population is Muslim. Paris is now surrounded by a ring of Muslim neighborhoods. Mohammed is the most popular name among boys in many cities.

In some elementary schools in Amsterdam the farm can no longer be mentioned, because that would also mean mentioning the pig, and that would be an insult to Muslims.

Many state schools in Belgium and Denmark only serve halal food to all pupils. In once-tolerant Amsterdam gays are beaten up almost exclusively by Muslims. Non-Muslim women routinely hear 'whore, whore'. Satellite dishes are not pointed to local TV stations, but to stations in the country of origin.

In France school teachers are advised to avoid authors deemed offensive to Muslims, including Voltaire and Diderot; the same is increasingly true of Darwin . The history of the Holocaust can no longer be taught because of Muslim sensitivity.

In England sharia courts are now officially part of the British legal system. Many neighborhoods in France are no-go areas for women without head scarves. Last week a man almost died after being beaten up by Muslims in Brussels , because he was drinking during the Ramadan.

Jews are fleeing France in record numbers, on the run for the worst wave of anti-Semitism since World War II. French is now commonly spoken on the streets of Tel Aviv and Netanya , Israel . I could go on forever with stories like this. Stories about Islamization.

A total of fifty-four million Muslims now live in Europe . San Diego University recently calculated that a staggering 25 percent of the population in Europe will be Muslim just 12 years from now. Bernhard Lewis has predicted a Muslim majority by the end of this century.

Now these are just numbers. And the numbers would not be threatening if the Muslim-immigrants had a strong desire to assimilate. But there are few signs of that. The Pew Research Center reported that half of French Muslims see their loyalty to Islam as greater than their loyalty to France . One-third of French Muslims do not object to suicide attacks. The British Centre for Social Cohesion reported that one-third of British Muslim students are in favor of a worldwide caliphate. Muslims demand what they call 'respect'. And this is how we give them respect. We have Muslim official state holidays.

The Christian-Democratic attorney general is willing to accept sharia in the Netherlands if there is a Muslim majority. We have cabinet members with passports from Morocco and Turkey .

Muslim demands are supported by unlawful behavior, ranging from petty crimes and random violence, for example against ambulance workers and bus drivers, to small-scale riots. Paris has seen its uprising in the low-income suburbs, the banlieus. I call the perpetrators 'settlers'. Because that is what they are. They do not come to integrate into our societies; they come to integrate our society into their Dar-al-Islam. Therefore, they are settlers.

Much of this street violence I mentioned is directed exclusively against non-Muslims, forcing many native people to leave their neighborhoods, their cities, their countries. Moreover, Muslims are now a swing vote not to be ignored.

The second thing you need to know is the importance of Mohammed the prophet. His behavior is an example to all Muslims and cannot be criticized. Now, if Mohammed had been a man of peace, let us say like Ghandi and Mother Theresa wrapped in one, there would be no problem. But Mohammed was a warlord, a mass murderer, a pedophile, and had several marriages - at the same time. Islamic tradition tells us how he fought in battles, how he had his enemies murdered and even had prisoners of war executed. Mohammed himself slaughtered the Jewish tribe of Banu Qurayza. If it is good for Islam, it is good. If it is bad for Islam, it is bad.

Let no one fool you about Islam being a religion. Sure, it has a god, and a here-after, and 72 virgins. But in its essence Islam is a political ideology. It is a system that lays down detailed rules for society and the life of every person. Islam wants to dictate every aspect of life. Islam means 'submission'. Islam is not compatible with freedom and democracy, because what it strives for is sharia. If you want to compare Islam to anything, compare it to communism or national-socialism, these are all totalitarian ideologies.

Now you know why Winston Churchill called Islam 'the most retrograde force in the world', and why he compared Mein Kampf to the Quran. The public has wholeheartedly accepted the Palestinian narrative, and sees Israel as the aggressor. I have lived in this country and visited it dozens of times. I support Israel . First, because it is the Jewish homeland after two thousand years of exile up to and including Auschwitz, second because it is a democracy, and third because Israel is our first line of defense.

This tiny country is situated on the fault line of jihad, frustrating Islam's territorial advance. Israel is facing the front lines of jihad, like Kashmir, Kosovo, the Philippines , Southern Thailand, Darfur in Sudan , Lebanon , and Aceh in Indonesia . Israel is simply in the way. The same way West-Berlin was during the Cold War.

The war against Israel is not a war against Israel . It is a war against the West. It is jihad. Israel is simply receiving the blows that are meant for all of us. If there would have been no Israel , Islamic imperialism would have found other venues to release its energy and its desire for conquest. Thanks to Israeli parents who send their children to the army and lay awake at night, parents in Europe and America can sleep well and dream, unaware of the dangers looming.

Many in Europe argue in favor of abandoning Israel in order to address the grievances of our Muslim minorities. But if Israel were, God forbid, to go down, it would not bring any solace to the West It would not mean our Muslim minorities would all of a sudden change their behavior, and accept our values. On the contrary, the end of Israel would give enormous encouragement to the forces of Islam. They would, and rightly so, see the demise of Israel as proof that the West is weak, and doomed. The end of Israel would not mean the end of our problems with Islam, but only the beginning. It would mean the start of the final battle for world domination. If they can get Israel , they can get everything. So-called journalists volunteer to label any and all critics of Islamization as a 'right-wing extremists' or 'racists'. In my country, the Netherlands , 60 percent of the population now sees the mass immigration of Muslims as the number one policy mistake since World War II. And another 60 percent sees Islam as the biggest threat. Yet there is a danger greater danger than terrorist attacks, the scenario of America as the last man standing. The lights may go out in Europe faster than you can imagine. An Islamic Europe means a Europe without freedom and democracy, an economic wasteland, an intellectual nightmare, and a loss of military might for America - as its allies will turn into enemies, enemies with atomic bombs. With an Islamic Europe, it would be up to America alone to preserve the heritage of Rome , Athens and Jerusalem .

Dear friends, liberty is the most precious of gifts. My generation never had to fight for this freedom, it was offered to us on a silver platter, by people who fought for it with their lives. All throughout Europe , American cemeteries remind us of the young boys who never made it home, and whose memory we cherish. My generation does not own this freedom; we are merely its custodians. We can only hand over this hard won liberty to Europe 's children in the same state in which it was offered to us. We cannot strike a deal with mullahs and imams. Future generations would never forgive us. We cannot squander our liberties. We simply do not have the right to do so.

We have to take the necessary action now to stop this Islamic stupidity from destroying the free world that we know.

A second American Revolution

2010-01-22T07:26:00.000-08:00

Massachusetts. What an appropriate place for it to begin!

Actually, public discontent has been building a long time, but it boiled over all around the nation last year, as evidenced by the numerous Tea Parties across the country, private citizens emasculating their elected officials in local events, and the huge political defeats for the Democrats in the gubernatorial elections in Virginia and New Jersey.

Ironically (sadly? encouragingly!), Democratic reaction to their stunning humiliation last night portends even more intransigence in the push toward Socialism. President Obama explained away Brown's victory to people's being upset about not just the last couple of years, but the last eight years. In effect, Mr. Obama is crediting George W. Bush with putting Scott Brown in "Ted Kennedy's seat"! How's that for self-awareness!

(Senator-elect Brown's reply that the seat he sought to fill was not Kennedy's but "the People's seat" illustrates perfectly the chasm between our elected officials and us: Contrary to what they think, they work for us. We are not their slaves.)

It is true that without Republican malfeasance during much of President Bush's time in office (and his endorsement of it), there is no way B. Hussein Obama would have been elected president (his personal charisma, good looks, and skills notwithstanding).

While the awakening of the American people in defense of its Liberty is encouraging, it cannot stop now. It must continue until every self-aggrandizing, pompous, condescending tyrant who believes that We the People exist to provide him position -- rather than his position existing to protect our Rights -- is removed from office.

We the People must know and cherish those self-evident truths articulated powerfully in the Declaration of Independence, America's creed. We must understand and defend the principles of limited government and individual rights codified in our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. And we must keep ourselves informed of what the foxes are doing -- especially in the federal hen house -- since traditional media will not tell the truth about their co-ideologues in office.

We must elect honest men and women who will obey our Constitution and actually serve the People, not themselves.

Is it too much to hope that We the People not only can prevent a national euthanasia (Leftists like killing, except when it involves punishing criminals and terrorists; why do mass murderers have a greater right to life than babies, again?), but even roll back decades of Leftist usurpations of individual Liberty?

Is a Nice Muslim a Good Muslim?

2010-01-18T12:14:00.000-08:00

Using the Five Principles to educate the
world about political Islam, its founder
Mohammed, his political doctrine and his god, Allah.

by Bill Warner

After a murderous jihad at Fort Hood or the Christmas day airplane bombing attempt, did you hear: "Of course, not all Muslims are bad?" That brings up the question of how do you even tell if a Muslim is bad? Or good?

First off, what is a Muslim? A Muslim is a person who follows the doctrine of Islam. When that same person, does something that does not follow the doctrine of Islam, they are not a Muslim. The common idea is that anyone who says that they are a Muslim has their every action and word dictated by Islam. Put another way, every Muslim is seen as perfect follower of Islam at all times and circumstances. However, the truth is that a "Muslim" is not always a Muslim. When they do not follow Islamic doctrine, they are no longer a Muslim, but are a kafir (non-Muslim).

Now, how do we know if a Muslim is good or bad? If they are following the Koran and the Sunna (the perfect example of Mohammed), they are a good Muslim. If they don't follow the doctrine, then they are not a Muslim. That means that from the stand point of Islam there is no such thing as a good or bad Muslim. You either are a Muslim or you are not. When anyone follows the Koran and the Sunna, they are Muslim. When anyone does not follow the doctrine of Islam then they are a kafir.

This means that a person called a Muslim has two modes of being-Muslim and kafir, or kafir-Muslim. The same person can be a Muslim in one moment and a kafir in the next.

What do kafirs mean by a good Muslim? Simple, the same way we judge all other people as good and bad-the Golden Rule. Do they follow the Golden Rule when they are with us? If so, then they are a good person.

Since the Koran and the Sunna do not have the Golden Rule, how are Muslims to treat us? Islamic doctrine lays out an alternative to the Golden Rule. Those who do not believe Mohammed are kafirs, and kafirs are treated differently from Muslims.

Islamic doctrine says a great deal about the kafir. Most of the Koran is about kafirs, 61%, only 39% is about Muslims. About 20% of the Hadith is about kafirs and 98% of the Sira is about kafirs. Mohammed was fixated on kafirs and annihilated every kafir by violence, exile or conversion. When Mohammed died, there was not a person alive in Arabia who would argue with him.

Mohammed's actions are pure Islam; therefore, annihilating kafirs and kafir culture is pure Islam. A Muslim has to be, in some way, in some form of action, eliminating kafirs and their world. The action against kafirs is jihad. There are four flavors of jihad and murder is only one. Deception, conversation, articles and TV appearances can be jihad of speech and writing. There is always the option of giving to an Islamic charity, since one of the Koranic uses of charity is jihad.

Every Muslim believes that all nonbelievers are kafirs. The Koran says that kafirs may be hated, plotted against, deceived, murdered, raped, enslaved, mocked and tortured. All of those actions are Islam and perfect doctrine. When a person is being a good Muslim, they are following Islam and that means that you are a kafir. Hate, deception, murder, mockery and torture are bad for kafirs, but good for Muslims.

Kafirs are pure other. Muslims treat other Muslims as brothers and sisters, but they can treat a kafir well or they can treat them as less than an animal. Islam has dualistic ethics, one set of rules for Muslims and another set of rules for kafirs. Dualism is bad. When a Muslim practices dualism, they are bad. There is no good in Islam for a kafir and therefore, there is no good in a Muslim for a kafir.

Does this mean that the Muslim at work is bad? Yes, when they are following the doctrine of Islam. Whenever they are not following Islam, that person can be as good as any other. It is not about people, but about doctrine. It is the doctrine of Islam to be bad to kafirs. When anyone is practicing Islam around a kafir they must be bad, since Mohammed was never good to kafirs.

Wait! What about the nice, pious Muslim at work? He is good, isn't he?

Is he nice because of the Golden Rule or is he practicing the Sunna of the charming Mohammed we find in the early Meccan days? Mohammed could be very polite with kafirs, however, if charm did not work, then other methods were used. Islam is a process of increasing force that can start out pleasantly.

We are left with an ethical confusion around any Muslim. They can seem pleasant, but nothing changes the fact that they see Mohammed as the perfect person to imitate. Nothing changes the fact that we are kafirs. Kafir is the worst word in the human language.

Whom are we to believe-the Muslim at work or Mohammed? Every Muslim wants to imitate Mohammed; every Muslim is a Mohammedan. The problem is that Mohammed annihilated every kafir he ever met. It was a process. The process started out nice and when nice did not work, it ended in annihilation of the kafir. In Islam, nice is the beginning of bad for the kafir.

So how do you tell if a nice Muslim is good or bad? From the kafir point-of-view, there is only the fact that a Muslim is following Mohammed's example. And that is bad, very bad.

A GOD WHO HATES

The Courageous Woman Who Inflamed The Muslim World Speaks Out Against The Evils of Islam

BY: WAFA SULTAN
In the immediate aftermath of the 9/11 terrorist attack on the United States, it became abundantly clear to the Western world that there was a new and pernicious nemesis in town. Radical Islamic suicide bombers had jolted us out of our torpor as we confronted the stark and frightening realization that our cherished democratic values, principles, code of ethics and very lifestyle were in existential danger. In order to eradicate the visceral feelings of resentment of Muslims that were ruminating in the psyches of Americans and other westerners; the media, along with those in academic and "politically correct" circles initiated a campaign of "re-education". Extolling the virtues of the religion called Islam, they put forth the notion that Islam is a genuine religion of peace; a religion that places a sacred value on the sanctity of life. We were told that only a few extreme "radical Jihadists" belonging to an obscure organization called Al Qeada were responsible for tainting and maligning the purity of Islam.

Wafa Sultan, an ex-Muslim dissident from Syria, offers a wholly different take on this sophistical premise in her shocking new book, "A God Who Hates" (St. Martin's Press - 2009) as she portrays a searing portrait of Muslim culture. The subtitle of the book describes Sultan as "the courageous woman who inflamed the Muslim world" as she "speaks out against the evils of Islam." The reader is left with no doubt that Sultan is way more than a doughty and intrepid advocate of the truth, but a woman who is willing to place her life in mortal danger in order to preserve, protect and defend Western civilization as we know it. She raises the narrative to a highly profound level as she essentially reveals that, contrary to popular opinion, it is not a few "radical Jihadists" who are guilty of distorting otherwise warm and fuzzy Islamic precepts, but rather the culprit in engendering this kind of vitriolic hatred and bloodlust is none other than the Koran itself, along with the paradigm of the prophet Muhammad and the "god" known as Allah. She refers to Islam, as "the ogre" as she explores the psychological roots of a nomadic people who invented this religion in order to assuage their own paralyzing fears and overwhelming feelings of desperation and helplessness.

Wafa Sultan knows from whence she speaks. Having grown up in a devoutly Muslim home in Syria, she recalls her very personal stories of the barbarism of Islam and how it impacted on her and her family. Being born female in a Muslim culture that enforces a male hegemony, Sultan recalls the humiliating degradation imposed on her grandmother, mother and sisters who were virtual slaves to their husbands and their fathers. Contempt and loathing for women as inherently inferior beings permeates the Muslim world as is evidenced in today's alarming escalation of "honor murders" in which Muslim men brazenly murder their womenfolk for alleged transgressions of Sharia law.

Women's inhumanity to other women is also discussed here as Sultan tells us of the abusive treatment of daughter-in-laws by their own mother-in-laws who punish them in the same way that they themselves were tormented as young brides. Education for girls and women in Islamic society was sorely lacking and discouraged in order to keep them locked in a permanent state of servility. Their treatment of children is also spotlighted as abusive as the Koran mandates that they mete out corporal punishment to their children who do not pray or adhere to the tenets of Islam.

Sultan herself was fortunate in a sense. She was educated as a physician in Syria and her headstrong, independent nature compelled her to extricate herself from the draconian dictates of an oppressive religion. Moreover, as a physician in Syria she takes note of the glaring inequities of medical care as it pertains to gender. Dr. Sultan viewed Muslim men as anathema but as luck would have it, she met an educated man who respected her. After their marriage they made their way to the United States where she now raises her children and practices medicine in the Los Angeles area.

Citing a gamut of Koranic verses and providing concrete historical evidence dating back to the 7th century, Sultan proves that the predicate for Islam is unadulterated fear, violence, hatred of the other, theft and murder. From the genesis of the Islamic movement, the author informs us of Arab nomadic tribes raiding one another in bloodthirsty rampages that left sheer devastation in their wake. Describing the terror and desolation that the Arab peoples felt so acutely during centuries of desert dwelling, Sultan tells us that the fear of dying in the arid and harsh desert from hunger, thirst, illness and the always imminent attack by another tribe created an anxious and violent nation whose sole objective was daily survival at all costs. Says the author, "Arabs who lived in the environment that gave birth to Islam were powerless in the face of the challenges presented by this environment, which threatened their lives and their welfare. Because they felt so helpless they felt a need for forcefulness and created a god who would fulfill this need. When the Arab male lost his power he felt the need for a forceful god. And so he created a forceful god in the image of his need - but this god was not powerful."

Thus, the religion of Islam instills a hatred of the infidel, "the other" and anyone who does not subscribe to the tenets of their bellicose belief system. History has recorded that scores of heinous murders of Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs were perpetrated by the hands of Allah's followers. Because their god is described in the Koran as "The Harmer:, "The Avenger", "The Compeller" and "The Imperious", it is Sultan's view that the Islamic people have internalized such labels and have sought to emulate the rudimentary character of their deity. Brutal savagery towards anyone they perceive to be a threat and even against one another is one of the modalities through which Muslims actualized these "godly" traits. She describes the prophet Muhammad as a man bereft of moral authority; a pedophile and a purveyor or violence and falsehood; He gives his tacit approval to his followers to continue on the trajectory of "holiness" by engaging in hostile acts of religious zealotry, without regard for human life.

Offering eclectic insights into Muslim culture, Sultan tells us that because Islam is so riddled with strife, negativism and banal hatred it's language readily reflects this all encompassing disposition. As such, Muslims do not speak in a calm and reasoned manner but rather are vocally strident; resorting to constant shrieking, yelling, bellowing and shouting while engaging in acrimonious, ad hominem attacks against those who they are purportedly conversing with.

And that, of course, segues into a chapter called, "Who is that woman on Al Jazeera?". As a world renowned essayist, Dr. Sultan's opinions were well known through the Arab and Muslim countries. For that reason, the Al Jazeera television network invited her to debate a domineering Islamic cleric on the topic of "the connection between Islamic teachings and terrorism." It was in this venue that Dr. Sultan, having been denied the right to express herself or given enough time to state her case by the male moderator, did so anyway in an erudite and eloquent fashion without raising the volume of her voice; in contrast to her adversary who engaged in ear popping dialogue.

Given the last few seconds of the show to conclude her thoughts, Dr. Sultan was once again interrupted by the clergyman but this time told him in no uncertain terms to "Be quiet! It's my turn!". This kind of rejoinder is considered common parlance to us Westerners who enjoy watching television debates but these few words sent shock waves throughout the Muslim world. "I uttered this sentence without realizing it would open a new chapter in Arab and Muslim history. Never in the history of Islam has a woman clearly and forcefully asked a Muslim man to be quiet because it was her turn to speak", says Dr. Sultan.

Throughout this engrossing and compelling book, Sultan generously heaps praise on her adopted country. She acknowledges her appreciation for the plethora of rights, individual freedoms and liberties that she has enjoyed in the United States for the last 21 years. She urges America to stand strong in the face of the proliferation of global radical Islam and suggests that it confront the burgeoning threat to our civilization that "the ogre" represents in a pro-active fashion. "I love America as few people do" says Sultan, and "my love for it makes me feel concern for it. I do not want any danger to threaten the safety or beauty of this country that rescued me from my fears and fed me when I was hungry. America, to put it very briefly indeed, is my freedom."

Fly Or No Fly?
by no_slappz

Despite warnings from Washington insiders of shock expected to follow from reading an unclassified report about the ease with which the latest muslim airline bomber boarded a plane, in fact, it is not shock we readers will feel. It is disgust. And anger.

The solution to the threat of muslim terrorists flying the unfriendly skies? Diane Feinstein nailed it.

She said we should create a "very comprehensive no-fly list"

In an interview, she said the definition of who can be included should be expanded to include anyone about whom there is "a reasonable suspicion."

Since 100% of airborne terrorist attacks have been committed by muslims, and roughly 99% of ground-based attacks have also been the work of muslims, the people who belong on the No-Fly list are...? Can you guess?

However, if we accept the democratic principle of the Department of Homeland Security that ALL people are equally likely to be airborne terrorists, therefore making it necessary to impose onerous security procedures on everyone, let us put EVERYONE on the No-Fly list and require EVERYONE to demonstrate their fitness to board an airplane before removing them from the No-Fly list and allowing them the privilege of air travel.

National security adviser: Airline bomber report to 'shock'

WASHINGTON — White House national security adviser James Jones says Americans will feel "a certain shock" when they read an account being released Thursday of the missed clues that could have prevented the alleged Christmas Day bomber from ever boarding the plane.

President Obama "is legitimately and correctly alarmed that things that were available, bits of information that were available, patterns of behavior that were available, were not acted on," Jones said in an interview Wednesday with USA TODAY.

"That's two strikes," Obama's top White House aide on defense and foreign policy issues said, referring to the foiled bombing of the Detroit-bound airliner and the shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas, in November. In that case, too, officials failed to act when red flags were raised about an Army psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Hasan. He has been charged with killing 13 people.

Jones said Obama "certainly doesn't want that third strike, and neither does anybody else."

The White House plans to release an unclassified report Thursday on what went wrong in the incident involving a 23-year-old Nigerian man who tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight.

In Detroit Wednesday, the suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was indicted on charges that include attempted murder and trying to use a weapon of mass destruction to kill nearly 300 people. Abdulmutallab, who faces life in prison if convicted, is to appear for the first time in federal court Friday.

He has told investigators that he was trained and equipped in Yemen by a group affiliated with al-Qaeda. His father had gone to the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria to warn American officials that his son seemed to be turning to extremist ideology.

Even so, Abdulmutallab's visa to the U.S. wasn't revoked and he wasn't placed on the "no-fly" list.

Jones said the remedies involve "tweaks" rather than the overhaul that followed the Sept. 11 attacks— for instance, hiring for intelligence agencies so analysts aren't overwhelmed by their workload.

"We know what happened, we know what didn't happen, and we know how to fix it," Jones, a retired four-star Marine general, said in an interview in his West Wing office. "That should be an encouraging aspect. We don't have to reinvent anything to make sure it doesn't happen again."

Senate Intelligence Chairman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., said a "very comprehensive no-fly list" would be "the greatest protection our country has." In an interview, she said the definition of who can be included should be expanded to include anyone about whom there is "a reasonable suspicion." Labels: airline security, muslim terrorism.

IT IS TIME to call a spade a Spade, and a club a Club. and, It's Time to Name the Nabobs!

IF... A presidential hopeful flys off to Europe, without first reading the recent history of WWII, and forgets the lessons learned with the 'Berlin Air-Lift', or the 'Berlin Wall', or the generous Marshall Plan that Rebuilt Europe after World War II, and refers to our nation as "Arrogant" in our approach to International Affairs, we should have the back-bone to stand shoulder to shoulder, and tell this weak-willed rascal to go shinny up a tall Arizona Saguaro Cactus.

IF... A hopeful Chicago Politician builds his political base within the political framework of... corrupt "local politicians & community organizers" using admitted bombers like Bill C. Ayers and a convicted felon like Bernadine Dohrne as stepping-stones to the Illinois State Senate, we should stand up, shoulder-to shoulder in Town Halls, and on Radio & TV...and say it.

IF... "Barack Hussein Obama sits in a Pew in a Radical Chicago Church, where the Reverand Jeremiah Wright says "God Damn America"...and Obama lamely says he never in 20 years heard any of these wild, anti-American rants, should we swallow it... or just ignore it?... Not ever.

IF... "Jeffrey Immelt, the CEO of General Electric Corporation, deals with an obvious enemy like IRAN, that manufacters IED's That Kill U.S. Troopers in Iraq & Afganistan; shouldn't we spotlight this guy?Jeff Immelt became CEO of GE in 2001; since then, the General Electric stock has nose-dived 80%, and he's looking for Stimulus money! Jeffrey has an Advisory Position in the Obama Administration now. If Immelt resigns from GE.... Buy Some Stock!

IF... Billionaires like "George Soros, the 'International Monster-Man' ( a living and breathing delusional Imperium) that manipulates our political framework, hoping to discredit the former administration, and then he blasts a heroic military figure like General David Petraeus with a N.Y.Times Full-page Advertisement, on Sept 10, 2007, and signed by MoveOnDotOrg, declaring our fine Field Commander Petraeus, as "General Betrayus"... plus his generous funding of Sen. "Al Gore in 2000, or Senator "John Kerry's failed effort in 2004! Isn't it about Time for "We the People" to Boldly Speak Up about "George Soros, and his inexhaustible money trail? Is the staff at Open Society Institute writing Obama's daily T.V. speeches? A friend of mine (a Denver Attorney) wants me to stop talking about Uncle Georgie; Must we?

IF... The S.E.I.U. Union "Boss Andrew Stern is given access to the White House with 22 visits in 22 weeks, shouldn't we question it? Is Soros/Stern teaming up to run this "Progressive Government" that replaced the old Democratic Party in December, 2004? On a recent Fox TV Show, Glenn Beck ran a tape, and we heard Prez Obama say again, "I told Andy Stern (when I was a U.S. Senator) that... "that his agenda Is My Agenda!" I suppose, that's why Ms Barbara Wa-Wa named Glenn Beck as "Most Fascinating"! Transparency, he sez? Well, Let's Have More...yeah, that's the Ticket!

How Long will the Producers Continue To Produce... Anything? ( The "Progressives" Have No Answers For This! )

IF...we are asked to "tone down the hate-rhetoric", about World-wide Muslim Terrorists, i.e. the Suicide Bombers, the 'head-choppers & stoners of women', and those fanatics that fly planes into buildings, and strap bombs on their women and children. Hey, Wait A Minute! Hide those direct quotes from the Holy Qur'an...We don't want to scare people, or do we? Must we meekly acquiesce and call terror "man-caused disasters" "We the People" do read, and are Finally Aware of Islam's Holy Book, and the dozens of vicious quotes, like Allah's Apostle Said, in Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220 - "I have been made victorious with terror." Also: "...strike terror into ( the hearts of ) the enemies of Allah, and your enemies" - Qur'an 8:60. Or, "Fight and slay the Pagans whereever ye find them... lie in wait for them, in every strategm ( of war )" - Qur'an 9.5. Or this one: "The Punishment of... those that wage war against Allah and his Messenger (Muhammad) and strive for... mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or cutting off the hands and feet from opposite sides...that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter." Qur'an 5:33

WHAT IF - "WE THE PEOPLE" STAND UP, AND WITH ONE VOICE, DEMAND THAT... Saudi Arabian King Abdullah STOP His Infiltration of the USA...with C.A.I.R., (the Council of American-Islamic Relations) and STOP building Madrassa & Mosques in Our Land in diverse places like Northern Virginia & Dearborne, Michigan, and New York City. Well, a Big Surprise, a relatively unknown terror-recruit gets on a Delta Airbus in Amsterdam with a PETN bomb in his shorts, and damn near kills 289 innocent people over Detroit Michigan on December 25th, and Obama (in Oahu, Hawaii) claims it was a "Systemic Failure" - Really Barry? Where was our National Security Advisor... what was Janet Napolitano doing? Enough of this Insanity !!! We Welcome Immigrants from other nations & cultures, IF... They Swear Allegiance To Our Constitutional Laws, our 1st Amendment Rights to Freedom of Religion, with Freedom of Speech & Press, and To Peacefully Assemble, And To Petition Our Government for the Right To Speak Clearly of Our Grievances. It's Time for Bloggers To Unite, to Speak Up Forcefully, With One Voice!

IF... Muslims have difficulty with these basic rights, then they should pack their bags, and just return to their beloved 'holy land', and their Shari'a Law, to their most adored Holy Apostle Muhammad (the perfect man). They Have The Right to Leave Us, and Return to their own Imaginative Notions of Paradise on Earth.

We'll have an "Opportunity to Change Things" in about 10 Months Vote. November, 2010.

Heads Ups Folks!

2009-12-27T12:50:00.001-08:00

AN ABSOLUTE MUST READ FOR
EVERYONE IN AMERICA !

Juval Aviv was the Israeli Agent upon whom the movie ' Munich ' was based.. He was Golda Meir's bodyguard - she appointed him to track down and bring to justice the Palestinian terrorists who took the Israeli athletes hostage and killed them during the Munich Olympic Games.

In a lecture in New York City a few weeks ago, he shared information that EVERY American needs to know -- but that our government has not yet shared with us.

He predicted the London subway bombing on the Bill O'Reilly show on Fox News stating publicly that it would happen within a week. At the time, O'Reilly laughed and mocked him saying that in a week he wanted him back on the show. But, unfortunately, within a week the terrorist attack had occurred.

Juval Aviv gave intelligence (via what he had gathered in Israel and the Middle East ) to the Bush Administration about 9/11 a month before it occurred. His report specifically said they would use planes as bombs and target high profile buildings and monuments. Congress has since hired him as a security consultant.

Now for his future predictions. He predicts the next terrorist attack on the U.S. Will occur within the next few months.

Forget hijacking airplanes, because he says terrorists will NEVER try and hijack a plane again as they know the people onboard will never go down quietly again. Aviv believes our airport security is a joke -- that we have been reactionary rather than proactive in developing strategies that are truly effective..

For example:

1) Our airport technology is outdated. We look for metal, and the new explosives are made of plastic.

2) He talked about how some idiot tried to light his shoe on fire. Because of that, now everyone has to take off their shoes. A group of idiots tried to bring aboard liquid explosives. Now we can't bring liquids on board. He says he's waiting for some suicidal maniac to pour liquid explosive on his underwear; at which point, security will have us all traveling naked! Every strategy we have is reactionary.

3) We only focus on security when people are heading to the gates. Aviv says that if a terrorist attack targets airports in the future, they will target busy times on the front end of the airport when/where people are checking in. It would be easy for someone to take two suitcases of explosives, walk up to a busy check-in line, ask a person next to them to watch their bags for a minute while they run to the restroom or get a drink and then detonate the bags BEFORE security even gets involved. In Israel , security checks bags BEFORE people can even ENTER the airport.

Aviv says the next terrorist attack here in America is imminent and will involve suicide bombers and non-suicide bombers in places where large groups of people congregate. (I. E., Disneyland, Las Vegas casinos, big cities New York, San Francisco, Chicago, etc.) and that it will also include shopping malls, subways in rush hour, train stations, etc.., as well as rural America this time ( Wyoming , Montana , etc.).

The attack will be characterized by simultaneous detonations around the country (terrorists like big impact), involving at least 5-8 cities, including rural areas.

Aviv says terrorists won't need to use suicide bombers in many of the larger cities, because at places like the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, they can simply valet park a car loaded with explosives and walk away.

Aviv says all of the above is well known in intelligence circles, but that our U. S.. Government does not want to 'alarm American citizens' with the facts. The world is quickly going to become 'a different place', and issues like 'global warming' and political correctness will become totally irrelevant..

On an encouraging note, he says that Americans don't have to be concerned about being nuked. Aviv says the terrorists who want to destroy America will not use sophisticated weapons. They like to use suicide as a front-line approach. It's cheap, it's easy, it's effective; and they have an infinite abundance of young militants more than willing to 'meet their destiny'.

He also says the next level of terrorists, over which America should be most concerned, will not be coming from abroad. But will be, instead, 'homegrown' - having attended and been educated in our own schools and universities right here in the U. S. He says to look for 'students' who frequently travel back and forth to the Middle East .. These young terrorists will be most dangerous because they will know our language and will fully understand the habits of Americans; but that we Americans won't know/understand a thing about them.

Aviv says that, as a people, Americans are unaware and uneducated about the terrorist threats we will, inevitably, face. America still has only have a handful of Arabic and Farsi speaking people in our intelligence networks and Aviv says it is critical that we change that fact SOON.

So, what can America do to protect itself? From an intelligence perspective, Aviv says the U.S. needs to stop relying on satellites and technology for intelligence. We need to, instead, follow Israel 's, Ireland 's and England 's hands-on examples of human intelligence, both from an infiltration perspective as well as to trust 'aware' citizens to help. We need to engage and educate ourselves as citizens; however, our U. S. government continues to treat us, its citizens, 'like babies'. Our government thinks we 'can't handle the truth' and are concerned that we'll panic if we understand the realities of terrorism. Aviv says this is a deadly mistake.

Aviv recently created/executed a security test for our Congress, by placing an empty briefcase in five well-traveled spots in five major cities. The results? Not one person called 911 or sought a policeman to check it out...in fact, in Chicago, someone tried to steal the briefcase!

In comparison, Aviv says that citizens of Israel are so well 'trained' that an unattended bag or package would be reported in seconds by citizen(s) who know to publicly shout, 'Unattended Bag!' The area would be quickly & calmly cleared by the citizens themselves. But, unfortunately, America hasn't been yet 'hurt enough' by terrorism for their government to fully understand the need to educate its citizens or for the government to understand that it's their citizens who are, inevitably, the best first-line of defense against terrorism.

Aviv also was concerned about the high number of children here in America who were in preschool and kindergarten after 9/11, who were 'lost' without parents being able to pick them up, and about our schools that had no plan in place to best care for the students until parents could get there. (In New York City , this was days, in some cases!)

He stresses the importance of having a plan, that's agreed upon within your family, to respond to in the event of a terrorist emergency. He urges parents to contact their children's schools and demand that the schools, too, develop plans of actions, as they do in Israel ..

Does your family know what to do if you can't contact one another by phone? Where would you gather in an emergency? He says we should all have a plan that is easy enough for even our youngest children to remember and follow.

Aviv says that the U. S. government has in force a plan that, in the event of another terrorist attack, will immediately cut-off EVERYONE's ability to use cell phones, blackberries, etc., as this is the preferred communication source used by terrorists and is often the way that their bombs are detonated.

How will you communicate with your loved ones in the event you cannot speak? You need to have a plan.

If you believe what you have just read, then you must feel compelled to send to every concerned parent or guardian, grandparents, uncles, aunts, whatever and whomever. Nothing will happen if you choose not to do so, but in the event it does happen, this particular email will haunt you..."I should have sent this to...", but I didn't believe it and just deleted it as so much trash from old Bill Jones!

Islam IS Different

2009-11-14T04:27:00.000-08:00

by Dharmaveer

I am tired of people who know nothing about any religion state, almost as a self-evident axiom, that "All religions are the same." No they're not!

Islam is VERY different from Hindu Dharma. Let's talk statistics for a while, shall we? Can you guys guess what percentage of the verses in the Kuran speak of Kafirs? 63%! In other words, more than half the Kuran is simply hate speech about Kafirs. More than half! There is not one good thing Muhammad had to say about Kafirs. The Sira (his biography and collection of quotes and anecdotes) is more than 85% about his battles with Kafirs.

Islam IS about Kafirs. Get that right - Islam as a religion is about one topic alone - Kafirs. And we are all Kafirs. Yes, that's right. We are what Islam is about. The only problem is that Islam does not say "Love these guys." It says "hate them, kill them, behead them, humiliate them, "subdue" them, make them pay taxes, convert them..." Islam is all about "them" - the "them" being us Kafirs.

Islam is not a religion that focuses on itself and its people. It focuses on Kafirs. Isn't that strange - that a religion should focus not on itself but on those who are not in it? Islam is all about "the evil others - the Kafirs." The Kafirs who allowed Muhammad to do his thing when they could have killed him. But they showed great tolerance and let him mock and abuse them. But when he became powerful, he simply killed them or forcibly converted them to Islam.

Read the Upanishads (which form the spiritual core of Hindu Dharma). They don't even talk about "us" or "them." They simply discuss how the Atman (roughly translated to 'soul') is related to the unity underlying all creation (called the 'brahman'). There is absolutely no sectarian language there. No wonder Hindus, to this day, are unable to fully fathom this hateful ideology called Islam.

The Kuran is a manual of hatred and violence which seeks to divide humanity into "muslims" and "kafirs" and recommends permanent warfare between them. No wonder muslims are unable to live peacefully with any other community, anywhere. Because their religion only speaks of cultivating hatred towards others.

The world must no longer keep silent about this ideology. We must call it for what it is. Enough of the political correctness. Enough of the deafening silence. Islam declared war on us 1400 years ago. It is time we at least asked "Why?" Why are you killing us? What have we done? Just because an arab man 1400 years ago said you must kill us? Is that reason enough to abandon all humanity, all rationality?

Muslim Butchers Americans!

2009-11-06T11:45:00.000-08:00

After reading Sir Amillennialist November 6th Article "Muslim butchers Americans at Ft. Hood, U.S. President (and most of our media) clueless about motive"...the Snake Hunter posted this comment:

Preliminary Reports out of Ft. Hood were inaccurate and incomplete; this loyal muslim screamed Allah Akbar! then he murdered 13, and wounded thirty more. He's alive and stable, and...so is the (wounded) lady trooper that quickly took him down!

In another report, Associated Press writers Jeff Carlson & Mike Baker stated that a neighbor of Major Nidal Malik Hasan had "cleaned out his apartment" in the days before his killing rampage, adding more proof that this act was a premeditated slaughter.

Apathetic Americans must be held accountable, and share the blame for this atrocity, and be ready for more killings instigated by the Recruiting Imams within our schools & universities, our institutions and prison facilities coast to coast.

Enough of this nonsense!

Advise The Saudi King Abdullah that his Muslim Mosques and his Council of American Islamic Relations (C.A.I.R.) Propaganda Ministries spreading across this continent must be dismantled now, and shipped back to the Arabian Desert! Anything less, and we dishonor our voluntary military families, and our loyal U.S. citizens.

How many more "evil incidents & honor-killings" must we endure before 'We the People' Declare It:

"Enough of This Half-hearted Dithering, Enough Hesitation....We-Are-In-A-Blood-Drenched-War!" reb

'Letter to Tom'

2009-11-01T04:45:00.000-08:00

Tom,

What "political" means is that the government must be perceived as legitimate by the people. Elections play a role, come after things such as basic security and basic government services; water, trash pickup, sewer, electricity.

What infidel government can ever be "perceived as legitimate" by those whose hearts and minds belong to this:

"the Messenger of Allah . . . would say: 'Fight in the name of Allah and in the way of Allah. Fight against those who disbelieve in Allah. Make a holy war. . . . When you meet your enemies who are polytheists, invite them to three courses of action. . . . Invite them to (accept) Islam; if they respond to you, accept it from them and desist from fighting against them. . . . If they refuse to accept Islam, demand from them the Jizya. If they agree to pay, accept it from them and hold off your hands. If they refuse to pay the tax, seek Allah's help and fight them . . .'" (Muslim Book 19, Number 4294).

"fight and slay the Pagans wherever ye find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem (of war) . . . " (Qur’an 9:5).

"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).

"The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger, and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is: execution, or crucifixion, or the cutting off of hands and feet from opposite sides, or exile from the land: that is their disgrace in this world, and a heavy punishment is theirs in the Hereafter . . . " (Qur'an 5:33). [Ibn Kathir says of this verse: "'Wage war' mentioned here means, oppose and contradict, and it includes disbelief, blocking roads and spreading fear in the fairways. Mischief in the land refers to various types of evil." So, Muhammad requires execution, crucifixion, or cutting off hands and feet from opposite sides for "disbelief."]

"Allah's Apostle said: 'I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle . . . '" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 24).

"It is not for any prophet to have captives until he hath made slaughter in the land. Ye desire the lure of this world and Allah desireth (for you) the Hereafter, and Allah is Mighty, Wise" (Qur'an 8:67).

"Allah’s Apostle said, 'I have been made victorious with terror'" (Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 220).

"Allah's Apostle was asked, 'What is the best deed?' He replied, 'To believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad).' The questioner then asked, 'What is the next (in goodness)?' He replied, 'To participate in Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah's Cause.' The questioner again asked, 'What is the next (in goodness)?' He replied, 'To perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca). . .'" (Bukhari Volume 1, Book 2, Number 25).

"Say to the Unbelievers, if (now) they desist (from Unbelief), their past would be forgiven them; but if they persist, the punishment of those before them is already (a matter of warning for them). And fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief and polytheism: i.e. worshipping others besides Allah) and the religion (worship) will all be for Allah Alone (in the whole of the world). But if they cease (worshipping others besides Allah), then certainly, Allah is All-Seer of what they do" (Qur'an 8:38; ayah 39 from Noble Qur'an).

Regards,

Amillennialist

MOHAMED'S POST HERE!

Muslims & Christians .. "A Common Word"

by Mohamed Fadly

At Georgetown university in Washington, a wonderful experience of cultural talk is going on. A conference among senior Muslim scholars including the Grand Mufti of Egypt, Dr. Ali Gomaa, and Amr Khaled, the famous Muslim preacher who have wide fame among Muslim youth, and senior Christian scholars. Political personalities are attending the conference from among them are Tony Blair, Professor John Esposito and Anwar Ibrahim. This two-day conference will take the "Common Word" initiative to the next stage by focusing on global issues and initiatives for change. Global political and religious leaders, scholars, media, and community representatives will discuss and develop concrete proposals to advance global peace and security between Muslim and Western societies. This bright experience started 3 years ago, when Pope Benedict XVI offered a speech offending Muslims around the world. An action that was faced by a wise reaction from 38 Islamic authorities and scholars from around the world, representing all denominations and schools of thought, joined together to deliver an answer to the Pope in the spirit of open intellectual exchange and mutual understanding. The number expanded a year later to be 138 Muslim scholars, clerics and intellectuals coming together to declare the common ground between Christianity and Islam. All major Muslim countries were represented in the message that is addressed to all Churches and indeed all Christians all over the world. The uniqueness of this initiative is that it depends on the teachings of the two great prophets, Muhammad and Jesus (Peace Be Upon Both of Them).

In a related event at Johns Hopkins University organized by US Institute of Peace, Dr. Ali Gomaa will discuss the challenge of moderation in Islam. Dr. Gomaa has been a regular critic of violence being practiced in the name of Islam, and has written extensively on spirituality, prevention of violence, human rights, women's equality and peacemaking. Dr. Gomaa has a wide fame among Muslims and particularly in Egypt. Following is the Summary of the introduction to the initiative..

Muslims and Christians together make up well over half of the world's population. Without peace and justice between these two religious communities, there can be no meaningful peace in the world. The future of the world depends on peace between Muslims and Christians.

The basis for this peace and understanding already exists. It is part of the very foundational principles of both faiths: love of the One God, and love of the neighbour. These principles are found over and over again in the sacred texts of Islam and Christianity. The Unity of God, the necessity of love for Him, and the necessity of love of the neighbour is thus the common ground between Islam and Christianity. The following are only a few examples:

Of God's Unity, God says in the Holy Qur'an: "Say: He is God, the One! / God, the Self-Sufficient Besought of all!"(Al-Ikhlas, 112:1-2). Of the necessity of love for God, God says in the Holy Qur'an: "So invoke the Name of thy Lord and devote thyself to Him with a complete devotion"(Al-Muzzammil, 73:8). Of the necessity of love for the neighbour, the Prophet Muhammad said: "None of you has faith until you love for your neighbour what you love for yourself."

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ said:"Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is One. / And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.' This is the first commandment. / And the second, like it, is this: 'You shall love your neighbour as yourself.' There is no other commandment greater than these."(Mark 12:29-31) In the Holy Qur'an, God Most High enjoins Muslims to issue the following call to Christians (and Jews—the People of the Scripture):"Say: O People of the Scripture! Come to a common word between us and you: that we shall worship none but God, and that we shall ascribe no partner unto Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords beside God. And if they turn away, then say: Bear witness that we are they who have surrendered (unto Him)."(Aal 'Imran 3:64)

The words:"we shall ascribe no partner unto Him"relate to the Unity of God, and the words:"worship none but God", relate to being totally devoted to God. Hence they all relate to the First and Greatest Commandment. According to one of the oldest and most authoritative commentaries on the Holy Qur'an the words: "that none of us shall take others for lords beside God", mean 'that none of us should obey the other in disobedience to what God has commanded'. This relates to the Second Commandment because justice and freedom of religion are a crucial part of love of the neighbor.

Thus in obedience to the Holy Qur'an, we as Muslims invite Christians to come together with us on the basis of what is common to us, which is also what is most essential to our faith and practice: the Two Commandments of love.
