Twenty-Year Plan: Islam Targets America


From Brigette Gabriel at ACT:

Twenty-Year Plan: Islam Targets America

by Dr. Anis Shorrosh

http://www.sullivan-county.com/immigration/rob_nothink.htm

When we immigrated from Jerusalem, Jordan* in January, 1967, little did I imagine that Islam would become center-stage in world news. As my sincere interest in the growth of Islam in America intensified, I began to discuss, dialogue, and then debate Muslim leaders throughout the world from an Arab Christian's view of Islam. So far, I have had the privilege of participating in over 20 debates and discussions on every continent plus T.V. and radio. "Islam Revealed" was released in 1988 and is now in its 8th printing. The True Furqan is now in its third printing in the three years it has been published. It is the only book which challenges the Quran in substance, style, language and contents. "The True Furqan" can be located on http://www.answers-to-islam.net/ or http://www.islam-exposed.org/.

This is my analysis of the Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020! Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?

1. Terminate America's freedom of speech by replacing it with hate crime bills state-wide and nation-wide.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities to promote Islam as the original African-American's religion while Christianity is for the whites! Strange enough, no one tells the African-Americans that it was the Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves, neither the fact that in Arabic the word for black and slave is the same, "Abed."

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office for favorable legislation to Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the internet by buying the corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America - the black gold. America's economy depends on oil, (1000 products are derived from oil), so does its personal and industrial transportation and manufacturing -41% comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell, "foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran" anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions, get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way. Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:

a. Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961)

b. No birth control whatsoever - every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.

c. Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years - since one cannot have the Muslim legal permission to marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.

d. Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2000 released inmates have joined Al Qaida world-wide). Only a few have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil. So far - sleeping cells!

10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are 300 exclusively Muslim schools with loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish "Centers for Islamic studies" with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, not the truth, which is Islam hijacked the terrorists. Furthermore in January of 2002, Saudi Arabia's Embassy in Washington mailed 4500 packets of the Quran, videos, promoting Islam to America's high schools--free. They would never allow us to reciprocate.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards the Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America's sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls. (We have experienced this too often since 9-11.)

15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not American's justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S. but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America's campuses by insisting that freshman take at least one course on Islam. Be sure that the writer is a bonafide American, Christian, scholarly and able to cover up the violence in the Quran and express the peaceful, spiritual and religious aspect only.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media of their visibility.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the US by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

Can you say "Busted"?

The silence is broken about an Islamic school on the public dole in Inver Grove Hieghts, MN.


Wall of silence broken at state's Muslim public school
By KATHERINE KERSTEN, Star Tribune

Last update: April 9, 2008 - 12:45 PM


Recently, I wrote about Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy (TIZA), a K-8 charter school in Inver Grove Heights. Charter schools are public schools and by law must not endorse or promote religion. Evidence suggests, however, that TIZA is an Islamic school, funded by Minnesota taxpayers.

Mr. ZamanTIZA has many characteristics that suggest a religious school. It shares the headquarters building of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, whose mission is "establishing Islam in Minnesota." The building also houses a mosque. TIZA's executive director, Asad Zaman, is a Muslim imam, or religious leader, and its sponsor is an organization called Islamic Relief.

Students pray daily, the cafeteria serves halal food - permissible under Islamic law -- and "Islamic Studies" is offered at the end of the school day.

Zaman maintains that TIZA is not a religious school. He declined, however, to allow me to visit the school to see for myself, "due to the hectic schedule for statewide testing." But after I e-mailed him that the Minnesota Department of Education had told me that testing would not begin for several weeks, Zaman did not respond -- even to urgent calls and e-mails seeking comment before my first column on TIZA.

Now, however, an eyewitness has stepped forward. Amanda Getz of Bloomington is a substitute teacher. She worked as a substitute in two fifth-grade classrooms at TIZA on Friday, March 14. Her experience suggests that school-sponsored religious activity plays an integral role at TIZA.

Arriving on a Friday, the Muslim holy day, she says she was told that the day's schedule included a "school assembly" in the gym after lunch.

Before the assembly, she says she was told, her duties would include taking her fifth-grade students to the bathroom, four at a time, to perform "their ritual washing."

Afterward, Getz said, "teachers led the kids into the gym, where a man dressed in white with a white cap, who had been at the school all day," was preparing to lead prayer. Beside him, another man "was prostrating himself in prayer on a carpet as the students entered."

"The prayer I saw was not voluntary," Getz said. "The kids were corralled by adults and required to go to the assembly where prayer occurred."

Islamic Studies was also incorporated into the school day. "When I arrived, I was told 'after school we have Islamic Studies,' and I might have to stay for hall duty," Getz said. "The teachers had written assignments on the blackboard for classes like math and social studies. Islamic Studies was the last one -- the board said the kids were studying the Qu'ran. The students were told to copy it into their planner, along with everything else. That gave me the impression that Islamic Studies was a subject like any other."

After school, Getz's fifth-graders stayed in their classroom and the man in white who had led prayer in the gym came in to teach Islamic Studies. TIZA has in effect extended the school day -- buses leave only after Islamic Studies is over. Getz did not see evidence of other extra-curricular activity, except for a group of small children playing outside. Significantly, 77 percent of TIZA parents say that their "main reason for choosing TIZA ... was because of after-school programs conducted by various non-profit organizations at the end of the school period in the school building," according to a TIZA report. TIZA may be the only school in Minnesota with this distinction.

Why does the Minnesota Department of Education allow this sort of religious activity at a public school? According to Zaman, the department inspects TIZA regularly -- and has done so "numerous times" -- to ensure that it is not a religious school.

But the department's records document only three site visits to TIZA in five years -- two in 2003-04 and one in 2007, according to Assistant Commissioner Morgan Brown. None of the visits focused specifically on religious practices.

The department is set up to operate on a "complaint basis," and "since 2004, we haven't gotten a single complaint about TIZA," Brown said. In 2004, he sent two letters to the school inquiring about religious activity reported by visiting department staffers and in a news article. Brown was satisfied with Zaman's assurance that prayer is "voluntary" and "student-led," he said. The department did not attempt to confirm this independently, and did not ask how 5- to 11-year-olds could be initiating prayer. (At the time, TIZA was a K-5 school.)

Zaman agreed to respond by e-mail to concerns raised about the school's practices. Student "prayer is not mandated by TIZA," he wrote, and so is legal. On Friday afternoons, "students are released ... to either join a parent-led service or for study hall." Islamic Studies is provided by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, and other "nonsectarian" after-school options are available, he added.

Yet prayer at TIZA does not appear to be spontaneously initiated by students, but rather scheduled, organized and promoted by school authorities.

Request for volunteers

Until recently, TIZA's website included a request for volunteers to help with "Friday prayers." In an e-mail, Zaman explained this as an attempt to ensure that "no TIZA staff members were involved in organizing the Friday prayers."

But an end run of this kind cannot remove the fact of school sponsorship of prayer services, which take place in the school building during school hours. Zaman does not deny that "some" Muslim teachers "probably" attend. According to federal guidelines on prayer in schools, teachers at a public school cannot participate in prayer with students.

In addition, schools cannot favor one religion by offering services for only its adherents, or promote after-school religious instruction for only one group. The ACLU of Minnesota has launched an investigation of TIZA, and the Minnesota Department of Education has also begun a review.

TIZA's operation as a public, taxpayer-funded school is troubling on several fronts. TIZA is skirting the law by operating what is essentially an Islamic school at taxpayer expense. The Department of Education has failed to provide the oversight necessary to catch these illegalities, and appears to lack the tools to do so. In addition, there's a double standard at work here -- if TIZA were a Christian school, it would likely be gone in a heartbeat.

TIZA is now being held up as a national model for a new kind of charter school. If it passes legal muster, Minnesota taxpayers may soon find themselves footing the bill for a separate system of education for Muslims.

CAIR Thugs on Islamophobia Patrol


From Brigitte Gabriel and ACT:

CAIR Thugs on Islamophobia Patrol
Coming Soon to Your Neighborhood?
By Patrick Poole
www.familysecuritymatters.org


FSM Contributing Editor Patrick Poole characterizes CAIR's harassment of a private citizen in his home, which CAIR describes as an "invitation to dialogue," as nothing more than a masquerade for their alarming scare tactics. Jackboot thuggery or inter-faith engagement? You decide.


Three officials of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) in Ohio admit to going unannounced to a man's home to confront him over a bumper sticker on his car — a testament, they claim, of their tolerance and moderation. The incident occurred last year, but the CAIR trio involved – Ahmad Al-Akhras, CAIR national vice chairman, Asma Mobin-Uddin, CAIR-Ohio president, and Abukar Arman, CAIR-OH board member – have recently recounted this incident to the local establishment media as an example of how they "invite dialogue."


Others, however, believe the incident is additional proof that CAIR regularly resorts to threats, intimidation and demonization to silence its critics. Earlier this month, attorneys for CAIR sent a letter threatening legal action against the Young Americans Foundation if they allowed NY Times bestselling author and JihadWatch director, Robert Spencer, to speak at their conference on "The Truth of the Council on American-Islamic Relations." This thuggery is reminiscent of CAIR's 2004 lawsuit against independent journalist Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR, a suit which was dropped by CAIR in order to avoid responding to required interrogatories about its historic ties to HAMAS and role in terror financing.


The CAIR-OH incident is without known precedent, harassing a private citizen at his home because CAIR officials did not like one of his bumper stickers. One of the trio, Abukar Arman, has described how they set upon their unwitting victim:


Several months ago, a non-Muslim fellow in the inter-faith community brought to the attention of CAIR-Ohio a picture of his neighbor's truck with a bumper sticker that read "Jesus loves you, and Allah wants you dead."


Some of us thought that the appropriate thing to do was to get media involved and use this truck owner as a poster-child of the prevalent assertive ignorance that is widening the post 9/11 political divide between Muslims and non-Muslims. Others, on the other hand, saw this as an opportunity for human contact, discourse, and to build bridges of understanding.


The latter opinion prevailed.


Therefore, I had the privilege of being one of three Muslims (2 male and a female with Islamic veil) who paid a neighborly visit to the truck owner.


What ensued was an interesting discourse that I found to be very educational (its final outcome notwithstanding).


The truck owner was a former Marine officer who served in Somalia and Iraq. Initially, as he opened the door, he was visibly apprehensive (and rightfully so).


We greeted him and introduced ourselves. We reassured him that we were only interested to get to know him, address any questions or perhaps grievance that he may have, and to give him a chance to meet and dialogue with ordinary Muslims.


Long story short: in a conversation that took place right outside his door and lasted for over an hour, the former Marine talked about how he was very suspicious of Muslims and how, both in Somalia and in Iraq, he and other Americans who "came to help these two countries had their hands bitten..." He talked about how he did not believe there were any moderate Muslims and how organizations such as CAIR were deliberately silent about condemning terrorism. He also talked about being alarmed by the growing Muslim population in Central Ohio and how they may be hiding a terrorist who has in his possession a "briefcase nuke." He said, "I don't want to see a giant mushroom in Columbus" [I will come back to this point].


Lastly, he talked about his career in the private sector...how he worked as a "corporate anti-terrorism expert" and a "consultant to a numerous multinational corporations..."


Arman admits that the original intention was to make this two-war veteran a "poster-child" of Islamophobia and publicly to vilify the man by enlisting the help of the local media — all because they didn't agree with the sentiments the man expressed via a bumper sticker. He also admits that the man was visibly leery of his late-night visitors showing up on his doorstep, what they probably would argue is proof of his Islamophobia.


What makes this situation and Abukar Arman's comments even more appalling is that the former Marine had served in the UN-backed peacekeeping mission in Somalia, Arman's native country, to protect the people there from the warlords that had taken over the country and who were starving the people by the tens of thousands. Additionally, the former Marine had been reported to CAIR by one of his neighbors who was a friend to the CAIR officials in the "inter-faith community."


But imagine if the roles in this case were reversed: imagine if Robert Spencer, Andrew Whitehead and myself showed up on the doorstep of any of these CAIR officials – unwelcome and unannounced – to confront them about their repeated statements of support for extremism, bigotry and terrorism: Ahmad Al-Akhras for his public defense of convicted terrorists, including his "long-time friend," convicted and deported Palestinian Islamic Jihad operative Fawaz Damra; Asma Mobin-Uddin for promoting several hate sites with rabidly anti-Jewish content on her own personal website; or Abukar Arman, for his vocal public support of HAMAS, Hezbollah and the al-Qaeda-backed Islamic Courts Union. Would they see such action as "inviting dialogue," or would they instead denounce such an "invitation to dialogue" in a flurry of CAIR press releases as a "hate crime" that would merit restraining orders and warrant federal criminal charges?


With their opponents on the working end of this tactic of cultural terrorism, however, they enthusiastically recount this act of intimidation, attempting to paint their "neighborly visit" as a peaceful effort to "engage" non-Muslims. The establishment media has been quick to pick up this twisted narrative. Earlier this month, in a front page Columbus Dispatch article on Mr. Arman, Mobin-Uddin cites this incident of confronting a man at his home as evidence of Mr. Arman's "kindness":


"Mr. Arman is a man of the greatest integrity, kindness and responsibility," Mobin-Uddin said.


She recalled a visit with Arman a few years ago to the home of an ex-Marine who displayed an anti-Muslim bumper sticker.


"We stood and talked with the man on his doorstep for an hour and a half. Mr. Arman never raised his voice. He told the man, 'You know, sir, I have four children. I've lived in this country for decades. If I knew someone who was going to put a bomb somewhere, I would be the first one to jump on them.' "


This isn't the first time, however, that the Columbus Dispatch has pulled out this story as an example of the tolerance and moderation of the CAIR trio and their cohorts.


In an Orwellian-titled article this past April, "Changing Hearts, Minds," Ahmad Al-Akhras gave his analysis of his and his comrades' late-night "invitation to dialogue" to an attentive Dispatch reporter:


Changing minds isn't always as pleasant as sharing some snacks and laughs.


Last year, Ahmad Al-Akhras and two other community leaders knocked on the door of a man whose car bore a bumper sticker that read: "Jesus loves you. Allah wants you dead."


Al-Akhras is president of the Islamic Foundation of Central Ohio and is the vice chairman of the national Council on American-Islamic Relations.


They spoke to the ex-Marine for more than an hour at his doorstep, telling him they had 11 children between them and cared strongly about America's safety, Al-Akhras said.


"More than 95 percent of the time, we agree on things," Al-Akhras said of Muslims and non-Muslims.


He isn't sure that visit did any good.


It should be evident that going to a man's home, particularly someone entirely unknown to you, to confront them about the content of their bumper stickers is not an invitation to dialogue, but jackboot thuggery reminiscent of the Nazi SA Storm troopers. One of them admits that rather than painting a symbol on the man's house or business to show their disapproval for his religious statements (much as the SA would mark Jewish homes or businesses with a Star of David and the word "Juden"), they considered calling in the media to condemn this two-war Marine veteran and expose him to public scorn all because they didn't like his bumper sticker.


CAIR has repeatedly demonstrated that their methodology and discourse must rely on increasingly shrill rhetoric to get public attention and publicly attacking anyone who questions their troubling ideology. Nor has CAIR ever hesitated to inflame a situation to further its own agenda to the detriment of the rest of the community, Muslim and non-Muslim alike. As their own supposed constituency continues to abandon CAIR, such now that their membership is less than two thousand nationwide, CAIR will need to resort to more confrontational and escalating tactics to keep the establishment media's attention in order to disseminate their message of hate, alienation and conflict.


CAIR's Islamophobia patrols: coming soon to a neighborhood near you.

Bring it on! Barge into my house. I've got two friends here who might send you straight to Allah... their names, Smith and Wesson.

Former Guard Accused Of Hiding Muslim Ties

From Brigitte Gabriel and ACT:

By Dan Morse
Washington Post Staff Writer

On April 19, 2005, Darrick Jackson completed an application to work as a private security guard at an entrance gate to Andrews Air Force Base.

"Have you ever used or been known by another name?" he was asked in the second of 20 queries.

"No," Jackson answered.

He got the job.

Federal prosecutors now allege that Jackson intentionally withheld his Muslim name, Abdul-Jalil Mohammad, to conceal a connection to a controversial imam in Southeast Washington. Jackson, 37, who is no longer in the civilian job, has been charged with making a false statement, a felony punishable by up to five years in prison.

In a pretrial hearing scheduled for today, prosecutors are expected to argue that they should be permitted to present evidence at trial that they say links Jackson to extremist views. The evidence includes speeches in which the imam wishes for the U.S. government's collapse, essays posted on Jackson's MuslimSpace Web page and a mosque directory listing Jackson as the head of security.

Jackson's attorneys argue that he believed the question applied to maiden names for female applicants and that the omission was at worst an innocent mistake. They say that Jackson has never advocated violence toward the United States, that his religious and political views are irrelevant to the case and that airing them before a jury would deprive him of his right to a fair trial.


Imams in Space...er MuslimSpace! Note to Jacksons attorney : Well when a pedophile posts his intentions on MySpace or FaceBook and then commits a crime it has been used as revelant to establishing the character of the accused. How can this be irrelevant? Oh! it's coming back to me now...innocent mistake...Andrews Air Force Base...Derrick Jackson...Abdul-Jalil Mohammad...no law but Allah's...taqiyya. Well then I guess it is irrellevant after all.

Fool me once, 9-11. Fool me twice? NEVER!

The Media And The Fort Dix Six


From the New Media Alliance, Inc.:

Left Works to Change Image of Fort Dix Six
by Sher Zieve


Although I still have difficulty fathoming why the secular Left seems
bent upon suicide-by-proxy, at least it has told us who (if not what)
comprise the members of its substitution group. They are the Islamists.
However, in the case of Islam’s most recent failed attempt to cause an
act of barbarism on US soil, many on the Left seem furious with their
adopted protégés. In statements that appear designed to spur them on
toward accomplishing their terroristic missions, the Left has called the
Islamists “idiots” and “morons” for not actually completing
their massacre mission at Fort Dix, NJ. The popular anarchistic left-wing
site Daily Kos reflects this disdain for the jihadists’ failed plan
to slaughter soldiers stationed at Fort Dix. One of its writers/bloggers
states: “It’s a bit like the Shriners planning to win the Daytona
500 with a clownmobile.” The writer then goes on to compare this
recent Islamist attempt to one planned by the 1970’s militant group the
Weather Underground.



In an attempted attack on Fort Dix, members of this group blew
themselves up prematurely. Perhaps the Daily Kos is not aware of the current
myriad Islamist attack attempts, worldwide, in which the terrorists not
infrequently blow themselves up prematurely. But, the Left has
seldom-to-never been accused of basing its opinions or even news articles on any
discernable coherent facts.



Then, there is the ABC News article titled “The Fort Dix Six
Allegedly Had Bomb Recipes, Made Fun of U.S.”, in which the usual friend of
one of the terrorists is interviewed and says “He was an easy going
guy, someone you enjoyed working with.”—the indication being
‘terrorists can be great guys, too’!



The Courier-Post Online quotes George Strong, a retired William and Mary University professor, as saying the Fort Dix Six are “romanticists.” Do we now have apolitically-correct new word to use for avowed terrorists? Are they no longer to be called what they truly are but, to be referred to as “romantics?” I predict that there will soon be a new ACLU-and-CAIR-fought-for-law that bans the usage of the
word “terrorist” and replaces it with “romanticist.”


Following this same leftist-inspired thought pattern, will the term
‘terrorism’ soon be replaced with ‘love’? The Courier-Post goes on to
extensively quote Chicago Muslim leader Huseyin Abiva as strongly indicating
that the United States is to blame for the Fort Dix mass murder attempt. Huseyin said
that the 1999 American intervention in Serbia is to blame, when he
stated: “A lot of these foreign missionaries [presumably he believes Christian missionaries] and soldiers started propagating this alien interpretation of Islam.”


Huh? First of all, I don’t recall any Christian
clerics being sent to Serbia to “convert” the Muslim population.
Second—to what “alien interpretation of Islam” is Huseyin referring?


With all of the ongoing worldwide terrorist attacks perpetrated by the followers of
Islam, it appears that this political system and religion (neither of
which can be separated from the other) speak for themselves.


In his “style” of continuing to play down any and all Islamist
threats, we have MSNBC’s Uber-leftist Keith Olbermann telling his handful
of viewers on the same day the on-our-soil Islamists were arrested:


“The FBI arrested six morons.” As other leftists, Olbermann seems
genuinely angry that the would-be terrorism plotters did not accomplish
their goal. And, tragically, it’s no surprise that NBC would allow (and
most likely fully support) the seemingly anti-US and pro-terrorist
ideology that Olbermann appears to embrace. The inherent insanity of this sort of
support for enemies of the United States is that should the Islamics
accomplish their stated goal of world domination, leftists will also either
be killed or forced to convert to Islam. Do these leftists hold even
one coherent and rational thought in their collective mind? From their
comments and actions, I think it’s doubtful. However, as they are a
suicidal bunch, perhaps being “offed” is their hope.



The left-wing Democrat propagandists and their media continue to blame
the United States of America for everything that is wrong with the
world. And, of course, President Bush is responsible for all of the
problems—even those that did not occur on or during his watch. But, even
though he’s often the wrong target, President Bush is the easy one to
scapegoat—as he seldom fights them back. However, if the voting,
reading and viewing public continues to allow this never-ending “blame
America first,in the middle and last” mentality—we will very soon be destroyed
from both within and without. It appears that this is what both the Left
and the Islamists are hoping for and working toward.



Do you have any plans to repeat the 2006 midterm results by also
sitting out the 2008 elections?

More Fun With Youtube.com

The Teachings Of The Religion Of Peace


HotAir.com has an article up on the Tufts paper being reprimanded for publishing "unpleasant facts about Islam".

If all this seems familiar, it’s because it’s exactly what happened on YouTube to our “First, They Came” video (now posted at QubeTV) and to Nick Gisburne, the British atheist who saw his account deleted (twice) for the sin of quoting — simply quoting — incendiary passages from the Koran after having quoted incendiary passages from the Bible in previous videos without reprimand. The unstated rule applies across the spectrum of “progressive” institutions: don’t criticize Islam. Here’s Gisburne’s video, since reposted by a sympathizer, so you can see for yourself what passes for hate speech nowadays.


How To Defeat A Jihadist-Cheap!




I too have had videos banned from YouTube.com, while others remain surprisingly untouched. The point is here that the thought crime enthusiasts are beginning their crusade (can I say that?) first under the guise of political correctness, then by actual legislation. Stay alert ...speak the truth ...have fun.

Springtime in Islamberg

From Brigette Gabriel:

Springtime in Islamberg

By Paul L. Williams Ph.D., (author of THE DAY OF ISLAM)
With the able assistance of Douglas Hagmann, Bill Krayer and Michael Travis

Friday, May 11, 2007 http://www.canadafreepress.com/2007/paul-williams051107.htm

Situated within a dense forest at the foothills of the Catskill Mountains on the outskirts of Hancock, New York, Islamberg is not an ideal place for a summer vacation unless, of course, you are an exponent of the Jihad or a fan of Osama bin Laden.

The 70 acre complex is surrounded with "No trespassing" signs; the rocky terrain is infested with rattlesnakes; and the woods are home to black bears, coyotes, wolves, and a few bobcats.

The entrance to the community is at the bottom of a very steep hill that is difficult to navigate even on a bright sunny day in May. The road, dubbed Muslim Lane, is unpaved and marred by deep crevices that have been created by torrential downpours. On a wintry day, few, save those with all terrain vehicles, could venture forth from the remote encampment.

A sentry post has been established at the base of the hill.

The sentry, at the time of this visit, is an African American dressed in Islamic garb - - a skull cap, a prayer shawl, and a loose fitting shalwat kameez. He instructs us to turn around and leave. "Our community is not open to visitors," he says.

Behind the sentry and across a small stream stand dozens of inhabitants of the compound - - the men wearing skull caps and loose fitting tunics, the women in full burqa. They appear ready to deal with any unauthorized intruders.

The hillside is blighted by rusty trailers that appear to be without power or running water and a number of outhouses. The scent of raw sewage is in the air.

The place is even off limits to the local undertaker who says that he has delivered bodies to the complex but has never been granted entrance. "They come and take the bodies from my hearse. They won't allow me to get past the sentry post. They say that they want to prepare the bodies for burial. But I never get the bodies back. I don't know what's going on there but I don't think it's legal."

On the other side of the hill where few dare to go is a tiny village replete with a make-shift learning center (dubbed the "International Quranic Open University"); a trailer converted into a Laundromat; a small, green community center; a small and rather squalid grocery store; a newly constructed majid; over forty clapboard homes; and scores of additional trailers.

It is home to hundreds - - all in Islamic attire, and all African-Americans. Most drive late model SUVs with license plates from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, and Tennessee. The locals say that some work as tollbooth operators for the New York State Thruway, while others are employed at a credit card processing center that maintains confidential financial records.

While buzzing with activity during the week, the place becomes a virtual hive on weekends. The guest includes arrivals from the inner cities of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania and, occasionally, white-robed dignitaries in Ray-Bans from the Middle East.

Venturing into the complex last summer, Douglas Hagmann, an intrepid investigator and director of the Northeast Intelligence Service, came upon a military training area at the eastern perimeter of the property. The area was equipped with ropes hanging from tall trees, wooden fences for scaling, a make-shift obstacle course, and a firing range. Hagmann said that the range appeared to have been in regular use.

Islamberg is not as benign as a Buddhist monastery or a Carmelite convent. Nearly every weekend, neighbors hear sounds of gunfire. Some, including a combat veteran of the Vietnam War, have heard the bang of small explosives. None of the neighbors wished to be identified for fear of "retaliation." "We don't even dare to slow down when we drive by," one resident said. "They own the mountain and they know it and there is nothing we can do about it but move, and we can't even do that. Who wants to buy a property near that?"
Islamberg's Grocery Store

The complex serves to scare the bejeesus out of the local residents. "If you go there, you better wear body armor," a customer at the Circle E Diner in Hancock said. "They have armed guards and if they shoot you, nobody will find your body."

At Cousins, a watering hole in nearby Deposit, a barfly, who didn't wish to be identified, said: "The place is dangerous. You can hear gunfire up there. I can't understand why the FBI won't shut it down."

Islamberg is a branch of Muslims of the Americas Inc., a tax-exempt organization formed in 1980 by Pakistani cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, who refers to himself as "the sixth Sultan Ul Faqr," Gilani, has been directly linked by court documents to Jamaat ul-Fuqra or "community of the impoverished," an organization that seeks to "purify" Islam through violence.

Though primarily based in Lahore, Pakistan, Jamaat ul-Fuqra has operational headquarters in New York and openly recruits through various social service organizations in the U.S., including the prison system. Members live in hamaats or compounds, such as Islamberg, where they agree to abide by the laws of Jamaat ul-Fuqra, which are considered to be above local, state and federal authority. Additional hamaats have been established in Hyattsville, Maryland; Red House, Virginia; Falls Church, Virginia; Macon, Georgia; York, South Carolina; Dover, Tennessee; Buena Vista, Colorado; Talihina, Oklahoma; Tulane Country, California; Commerce, California; and Onalaska, Washington. Others are being built, including an expansive facility in Sherman, Pennsylvania.

Before becoming a citizen of Islamberg or any of the other Fuqra compounds, the recruits - - primarily inner city black men who became converts in prison - - are compelled to sign an oath that reads: "I shall always hear and obey, and whenever given the command, I shall readily fight for Allah's sake."

In the past, thousands of members of the U.S. branches of Jamaat ul-Fuqra traveled to Pakistan for paramilitary training, but encampments, such as Islamberg, are now capable of providing book-camp training so raw recruits are no longer required to travel abroad amidst the increased scrutiny of post 9/11.

Over the years, numerous members of Jamaat ul-Fuqra have been convicted in US courts of such crimes as conspiracy to commit murder, firebombing, gun smuggling, and workers' compensation fraud. Others remain leading suspects in criminal cases throughout the country, including ten unsolved assassinations and seventeen fire-bombings between 1979 and 1990.

The criminal charges against the group and the criminal convictions are not things of the past. In 2001, a resident of a California compound was charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of a sheriff's deputy; another was charged with gun-smuggling' and twenty-four members of the Red House community were convicted of firearms violations.

By 2004 federal investigators uncovered evidence that linked both the DC "sniper killer" John Allen Muhammed and "Shoe Bomber" Richard Reid to the group and reports surfaced that Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl was captured and beheaded in the process of attempting to obtain an interview with Sheikh Gilani in Pakistan.

Even though Jamaat ul-Fuqra has been involved in terror attacks and sundry criminal activities, recruited thousands of members from federal and state penal systems, and appears to be operating paramilitary facilities for militant Muslims, it remains to be placed on the official US Terror Watch List. On the contrary, it continues to operate, flourish, and expand as a legitimate nonprofit, tax-deductible charity.


The infiltration has already begun. Now what? It is vigilance and determination that NO more will die at the hands of Islamists in this country that is our only hope.

Kansas City Airport And The Muslim Foot Basin


Did a U.S. airport build foot washing basins for Muslim cab drivers?

Michelle Malkin calls Hussein Ibish from the Foundation For Arab American Leadership on the Muslim spin on accommodating bonafide dhimmitude.

The answer to the unresolved problem?

"I like faucets. When I go camping and I don't have faucets and running water, I miss them."--Hussein Ibish

Huh?

If you check the video these are not JUST faucets. They are situated about waist high with seats in front of them specifically for ritual footwashing.

As I've said before about other such "accommodations": Will the Kansas City Airport now spend thousands of dollars installing an altar with a monstrance so it's devout Catholic customers and employees can practice their religion freely with daily mass and eucharistic devotions? Not likely.

Sharia'creep!

Blogroll Buzz: Debbie Schlussel

Hey! CAIR!
A fan tipped me off to our blogroller Debbie Schlussel's article from April 30th about Mosques getting taxpayer funds alotted for eligible 501(c)(3) organizations who are deemed high-risk for a potential international terrorist attack. Amazing!

Last year, the Department of Homeland Security gave out small amounts of grant money to synagogues and Jewish schools that received threats from Muslims (you know, members of the "Religion of Peace"). The idea was to allow these small institutions to protect themselves from vulnerabilities to those threats, which they could otherwise not afford. Unfortunately, a number of mosques (which generate the hate that leads to those threats) have helped themselves to the money. Because billions in Saudi money is apparently not enough.

This is what CAIR is telling Muslims in America:

ACTION REQUESTED:

All eligible 501(c)(3) American mosques and other Islamic institutions are urged to begin the application process to receive training and to purchase equipment such as video cameras, alarm systems and other security enhancements.

Since, these days, CAIR and other Muslim activists have identified ham for lunch in public schools and bacon near Korans as "hate crimes," perhaps each mosque will get the $100 K to develop a "Halal De-Ham-inator." And since my writing and that of Robert Spencer and Ann Coulter--all exposing Islamic intolerance and support for terrorism--have all been identified by CAIR and another group--ADC--as "hate crimes," maybe the feds will give them the 100 Grand per mosque to try to stifle our free speech.

Don't let $25 million in your taxes go to fund mosques, which spew hate and already get enough in Saudi money. Tell your synagogues, churches and Judeo-Christian schools and institutions to apply for these DHS security grants. Send this to your rabbis, priests, pastors, and ministers.


Islamists know how our system works better than we do. It is time to take our system back before we begin the slide into the United States of Islamica.

The Film PBS Doesn't Want You To See



Michelle Malkin interviews Frank Gaffney about the taxpayer-funded film that PBS continues to suppress at HotAir.com.

FRank Gaffney give the whys and hows about how a corporation YOU fund with your taxes can suppress a truthful assessment of Islam called "Islam VS. The Islamists". Those of us (like Jihadi Du Jour, Jihad Watch and other anti-jihadist websites) who are alarmed at the threat of the Islamic jihadist and and are educated on it have been trying to get this message out and are constantly getting usurped by a biased and dhimmified media. But we are also taxpayers and can do something about it. Watch this important interview and call the numbers given at the end and help "Free The Film"!

Can a Muslim Be Ecumenical?

The answer is no.

During the solemn convocation for the Virginia Tech victims yesterday the people of the united states were treated to another occasion to be offended by the muslim mindset of conquest and anti-assimilation into the culture.

What do I mean? The religious traditions represented there were, Christian, Buddhist, Jewish and Muslim. The Muslim spoke first and invoked "Allah" in his speech. That is to be expected but I was offended nonetheless. In a service which is supposed to be ecumenical all other parties that believe in God used the English word "God" to generically designate the deity. Like the Higher Power of Alcoholics Anonymous, "God" is easy to swallow, covering nearly every idea of the Creator. "Allah", however, has too much baggage attached to it, in my view, to be mentioned at all. A god who is associated with violence should not be invoked at the memorial to victims of a violent and terroristic crime. The Imam who spoke should have been afforded what most religious are in the public arena...the right to speak without naming names...

For more opinion on this see-->"University convocation told of Allah, not Jesus" at WND.

Ritual-washing area may be only the beginning

From Brigitte Gabriel:

Ritual-washing area for Muslims at MCTC may be only the beginning

By Katherine Kersten,

Star Tribune

Last week, I wrote about Minneapolis Community and TechnicalCollege, which is planning to install facilities to help Muslim students perform ritual washing before daily prayers. It's a simple matter of extending "hospitality" to newcomers, says President Phil Davis -- no different than providing a fish option in the college cafeteria for Christian students during Lent.


MCTC is apparently the first public institution in Minnesota to enter this unfamiliar territory. Where is it looking for guidance?


Dianna Cusick, MCTC's director of legal affairs, is overseeing the project. She referred me to the Muslim Accommodations Task Force, whose website she is using as a primary resource (www.startribune.com/2617). "They've done all the research," she said.


On the site, I found information about the handful of public colleges that have "wudu," or ritual bathing, facilities.


But I also discovered something more important for colleges seeking guidance on "accommodations": Projects like MCTC's are likely to be the first step in a long process.


The task force's eventual objectives on American campuses include the following, according to the website: permanent Muslim prayer spaces, ritual washing facilities, separate food and housing for Muslim students, separate hours at athletic facilities for Muslim women, paid imams or religious counselors, and campus observance of Muslim holidays. The task force is already hailing "pioneering" successes. At SyracuseUniversity in New York, for example, "Eid al Fitr is now an official university holiday," says an article featured on the website. "The entire university campus shuts down to mark the end of Ramadan." At HenryFordCommunity College in Dearborn, Mich., "halal" food -- ritually slaughtered and permissible under Islamic law -- is marked by green stickers in the cafeteria and "staff are well-trained in handling practices."


At GeorgetownUniversity, Muslim women can live apart in housing that enables them to "sleep in an Islamic setting," as the website puts it. According to a student at the time the policy was adopted, the university housing office initially opposed the idea, on grounds that all freshman should have the experience of "living in dorms and dealing with different kinds of people." That might sound appealing, Muslim students told a reporter in an article featured on the website. But in their view, the reporter wrote, "learning to live with 'different kinds of people' " actually "causes more harm than good" for Muslims, because it requires them to live in an environment that "distracts them from their desire to become better Muslims, and even draw[s] weaker Muslims away from Islam."


The task force isn't operated by overly enthusiastic college students. Its professional staff, based in the Washington, D.C., area, includes coordinators who provide legal advice, teach students to lobby, write letters on their behalf, and help them overcome "obstacles" such as college administrators' concerns about violating the separation of church and state.


The Muslim Accommodations Task Force is a project of the Muslim Student Association of the U.S. and Canada. MSA's mission is to enable Muslims here "to practice Islam as a complete way of life," and its "main goal" is "spreading Islam," according to its website. The association calls itself the "landmark Muslim organization in North America," and says it has chapters on 600 campuses.


On MSA's website (www.msa-national.org), the sort of inclusive language used by the Muslim Accommodations Task Force gives way to hard-hitting advice for insiders. One downloadable publication --"Your Chapter's Guide to Campus Activism" -- describes how activists can advance political positions such as "restoring justice within the Palestinian territories," and opposition to the Patriot Act and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The cover features a student with a megaphone, and the slogan "Speak Out! Stand Up! Say It Loud!"


MSA views itself as America's moral and political vanguard. "As Muslims, we are a nation elected by God to lead humanity," the guide announces. On campus, that means initiating "mass mobilization" through "direct action campaigns" à la the 1960s, when students were "itching to fight" for change.


The guide explains how Muslim student groups can obtain funding, identify coalition partners and "bodies of power" on campus, work within student government, and use the media. "Marches, rallies and protests on campus" can "generate massive amounts of exposure for your MSA and its cause," it advises.


In all these endeavors, however, establishing credibility is vital to success, the guide emphasizes. Activists must "take full advantage of the open-minded environment" on campus, and skillfully employ the language of patriotism and rights. "[M]obilization commences the moment you speak in a language that resonates with your audience," the guide adds.


Thus, activists should take care to position themselves as mainstream Americans. "Make use of terminology like 'our country,' 'our security,' and 'we, the American people,' " the guide suggests. "Unless you identify with the people, you will never gain the legitimacy to criticize state policies," though "identifying yourself as an American" will not necessarily preclude criticism.


Activists should also frame their objectives in language that Americans embrace. "Most Americans identify with concepts such as 'justice,' 'self-determination,' 'human rights' and 'democracy,' " the guide explains. "These terms will be constructive when delivering your message, regardless of the issue."


For example, if you want to bring a speaker to campus to discuss the importance of hijab (Muslim women's headwear or covering), you will be "more effective" if you broaden the topic to "women's rights." Is this where MCTC is headed? Or is nothing more dramatic going on there than fish on Friday?

College Promotes Islamic Practices, Prohibits Christian Traditions

From Brigitte Gabriel:

Is college using a double standard on 'entanglement' with religion?


By Katherine Kersten


Cultural clashes involving Islam have recently made headlines in Minnesota. At the airport, some Muslim taxi drivers refuse to transport passengers carrying alcohol; at Target stores, some Muslim cashiers won't scan pork products. Now there's a new point of friction: Minneapolis Community and Technical College.

Its officials say the college, a public institution, has a strict policy of not promoting religion or favoring one religion over another. "The Constitution prevents us from doing this in any form," says Dianna Cusick, director of legal affairs.
But that seems to depend on your religion.

Where Christianity is concerned, the college goes to great lengths to avoid any hint of what the courts call "entanglement" or support of the church. Yet the college is planning to install facilities for Muslims to use in preparing for daily prayers, an apparent first at a public institution in Minnesota.

Separation of church and state is clearest at the college during the Christmas season. A memo from Cusick and President Phil Davis, dated Nov. 28, 2006, exhorted supervisors to banish any public display of holiday cheer: "As we head into the holiday season ... "all public offices and areas should refrain from displays that may represent to our students, employees or the public that the college is promoting any particular religion." Departments considering sending out holiday cards, the memo added, should avoid cards "that appear to promote any particular religious holiday."

Last year, college authorities caught one rule-breaker red-handed. A coffee cart that sells drinks and snacks played holiday music "tied to Christmas," and "complaints and concerns" were raised, according to a faculty e-mail. College authorities quickly quashed the practice.

They appear to take a very different attitude toward Islam. Welcome and accommodation are the order of the day for the college's more than 500 Muslim students. The college has worked with local Muslim leaders to ensure that these students' prayer needs and concerns are adequately addressed, Davis told me.

Muslim prayer is an increasingly controversial issue. Many Muslim students use restroom sinks to wash their feet before prayer. Other students have complained, and one Muslim student fell and injured herself while lifting her foot out of a sink.

Some local Muslim leaders have advised the college staff that washing is not a required practice for students under the circumstances, according to Davis. Nevertheless, he says, he wants to facilitate it for interested students. "It's like when someone comes to your home, you want to be hospitable," Davis told me. "We have new members in our community coming here; we want to be hospitable."

So the college is making plans to use taxpayer funds to install facilities for ritual foot-washing. Staff members are researching options, and a school official will visit a community college in Illinois to view such facilities while attending a conference nearby. College facilities staff members are expected to present a proposal this spring.

In Davis' view, the foot-washing plan does not constitute promotion or support of religion. "The foot-washing facilities are not about religion, they are about customer service and public safety," he says. He sees no significant difference between using public funds to construct prayer-related facilities for Muslim students and the cafeteria's provision of a fish option for Christian students during Lent.

College officials claim that the restrictions on Christmas displays apply to employees who are state agents, and so are subject to more restrictions, while students are free to express their religious beliefs.

But where the Muslim prayer facilities are concerned, college authorities themselves are consulting with religious leaders, researching other schools, and using taxpayer money to make improvements to facilitate one group's prayer.

Issues surrounding the intersection of church and state and religious accommodation are complex. But the college's treatment of Christianity and Islam seems to reflect a double standard.

It's hard to imagine the college researching and paying for special modifications to the college to facilitate Christian rituals. And the "safety" justification? Imagine if a particularly strict group of Christian students found it necessary to sometimes baptize others in the restroom sinks. Would the school build them a baptism basin because a student hit his head on a sink?

Katherine Kersten . kkersten@startribune.com


Having lived in Minneapolis for some time, I'm not surprised by the liberal accomodation to the mostly Somali Muslim population. But, really, fish at lent and ritual footwashing fountains are not even in the same ballpark.

Behind the veil


I have spent some time telling you of my experiences about living in Egypt and Saudi Arabia. I have shared some of the experiences while being a Muslim - in name only - caused me to endure and my road back to Christianity. But what I do not like to think about, often too hard for me to think about, is what goes on behind the veil.

We all know about dhimmitude as it is portrayed on the MSM or on our cable news networks. We have read online the horrific stories told by journalists who have witnessed some atrocities or just have their own opinions. But I have lived behind the veil and what I can tell you is that it is a dark and lonely place to be.

Once a woman becomes a Muslim, or if she is one by birth, there is a whole different standard of life that is not familiar with thinking for ones self or expressing ones views and wants or needs. But you know that already or you think you do. I am telling you - you do not.

According to the Koran if a woman disobeys her husband it states that he may "tap" her lightly. This implies that a woman needs to be disciplined like a child who does not obey - to make her behave according to how the men want and deem fit. The Koran here is an enabler of spousal abuse. But that does not mean all Muslim men follow this and or beat their wives, they do not. I just happened to be one of the unfortunate women that was married to what I call an extreme Muslim-a radical person-simply a sick individual.

I was too opinionated for my ex-husband and the ilks of Muslims in Egypt. My parents used to warn me that I was a free spirit and that I needed to curb that because it would cause me trouble. I never curbed being a free spirit to this day and it is that free spirit in me that saved me from a life of misery.

For me the abuse began when I was pregnant with my first child. I wanted to go to buy something at Walgreen’s and my then husband did not approve. As I turned he kicked me in the back. I should have kicked him out then, but for all my being opinionated and a free spirit I fell into the typical thinking most abused women think–oh he did not mean it and it will never happen again.

While pregnant with my second child, I told you while in Saudi Arabia I was almost raped. But what I did not tell you is that one week before I gave birth to my son that my then husband was angry at me because he said I have a big mouth and need to watch what I say-so he beat me while I was nine months pregnant and he beat me every time he was angry at me. It happened again while I was pregnant with my third son too–but I was trapped in Saudi Arabia.

By the time I came back stateside and wanted to tell my mother what happened to me and what I was still going through - she told me point blank, she did not want to hear it. She said I made my bed now sleep in it. So I had no one I thought I could turn to for help and who would help me if my own mother was indifferent to me? Of course, over the course of years my mother began to understand and supports me whole heartedly now.

However, that is when I hit rock bottom. I began having horrible panic attacks - and that took me years to recover from. I was diagnosed with agoraphobia, which is defined as, the abnormal fear of being helpless in an embarrassing or unescapable situation that is characterized especially by the avoidance of open or public places. So I ended up on Zanax and Pamelor. The panic attacks diminished but my life was in turmoil. To this day I am prescribed by my doctors to take Zanax on an as needed basis due to the fact I am still anxious at times.

I had my ears literally yanked from my head. I have pierced ears and now I have two rips in my ears instead. And God knows I would love to see a plastic surgeon to have them repaired–and that is one kind of plastic surgery I support, but my insurance will not cover it and I do not have the eight thousand dollars it would cost. So I wear my hair down to cover my ears so no one will see. The beatings to my head and ears have caused me to lose about 40% of my hearing in my right ear.

If that is not enough - I had my nose broken during my fifth pregnancy. I had a cap on my tooth punched off - that I did have repaired. I had my left kidney bruised and still managed to go to my part-time job that I had in the evenings to earn extra money for my children so they could eat and have some extra needed ammentities.

When I tried to divorce my ex-husband the first time while my boys were young my then husband got his Muslim goons he called friends to help him stop me from leaving. Oh what a day that was. I called the police to come to the house because he was out - but because I was afraid he would return, I requested they come to the house and wait while I loaded my car so he could not stop me. I lived in Cedar Lake, Indiana at the time. If I was as smart then as I am now, I should have asked the police to escort me out of town. They would have, but I did not think to ask them to do so. On my way out of town I was cut off the road by my ex-husband’s friends and my then husband. His friends were packing a gun and told me to get in the car, drive back home, while they followed me and that if I did not obey them they would shoot to kill. I believed them. I went home. I was brow beat for two hours. I was so beside myself I ran to the fireplace mantle and broke every nick-nak on top of it out of anger and sheer frustration.

I was called a whore, a slut, and all sorts or filthy names, not to mention being told I was not a good Muslim and so on.

This went on for years. I used to pray to God to either one, let me just die to take me out of my misery, or two, rescue me from my hell. I always believed God was a good and loving God and that when He created us He wanted us to live in happiness as much as possible.

In the end I escaped that marriage and you all know I lost my girls along the way. I do not write this for sympathy. I write this because if there is one - yes - even one young woman out there thinking of dating and or marrying a Muslim man — do not do it.

My sons, except one, are Muslim. My oldest does not beat his wife, but he was raised here and to some degree all my children, except the girls, are living more like Americans than Arab Muslims. But my girls are wearing the head scarf and being forced to become subservient to men. There is more here I could write about my daughters but I will not today - suffice to say that my oldest daughter suffers from schizophrenia - that I do believe was brought on by her fathers dictating and neglectful ways. He is a very selfish man - very self-centered - no patience, and quick to get angry - then violent. He does not hit the girls, but told them he did hit me because I was "BAD."

So think again before you take the plunge from light to darkness. It is a lonely place behind the veil and I am one of the blessed women that was able to escape. Don’t take the chance ever - you may not be as blessed as I was - in fact - you may die trying to escape. I almost did die and I am here today to let you all know that I am blessed - that there is a God. The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Let no man fool you or deceive you for as the Bible says, "Let God be true and every man a liar."

No dhimmitude here my friends - and definitely out from behind the veil.

Islamists touting growing rise of Islam in America

Crossposted from The HILL Chronicles

A reader gave me a link to Garamchai.com where they gladly inform you that you can find anything Indian. While browsing the site I came across a blog post, Muslims and Islam in America. Basically the article touts that Islam is one of the fastest-growing religions in the United States today and has become the second largest religion in the United States. Well I suppose if you are a Muslim that would make you proud. However, I as a Christian find this alarming in that our was founded on Christian/Judeo principles.

In a population of about three-hundred million people living in the United States any movement, ideology, or sub-culture (gothic example) can generate a substantial following. Consider that a majority of this rise of Islam is most likely due in part to the large immigration of first generation Arab/Muslims in our nation. I noted that the blog post did not mention this very important fact.

Interestingly the article mentions Rep. Keith Ellison becoming the first Muslim in U.S. Congress going on to site some facts on Ellison. In fact, they encourage you if you are interested in Islam to visit GaramChai’s extensive mosques section and get in touch with Muslims.

More alarming is that they have a section on the History of Islam in America which takes you to a link here. You will note when you read the article there that many facts are misrepresented and skewed — not surprising at all.

Clear evidence of the presence of Islam in America begins with the Moriscoes who accompanied the Spanish invaders.

Following their time, great numbers of Muslim slaves were imported to this continent to work on the plantations of the South. They were troublesome slaves, as they often incited rebellion among other enslaved people and were sometimes not desired for servitude because of their history of "being difficult to manage."

"In fact, at one point during the African holocaust, importation of bondsmen from certain nations and areas of Africa that were predominantly Muslim became prohibited. Afccording to Dr. sulayman Nyang of Howard University, some of the nations banned were the Jalofs, Biafras, Mandingos, and Hausa-Fullah. An estimated 25,000 Mandingos, 45,000 Fullah, 15,000 Hausa and 5,000 Muslims from other communities were brought to America between 1726 and 1806.1"

As many at least ten percent of the African slaves came from Muslim backgrounds. Many of these Muslim slaves were highly literate. Their literacy clearly set them apart from the rest of the slaves (and most of their owners). As Sylviane A. Diouf points out, the hostility of the slaveholders expressed toward the literate Africans derived not from fear that their property would trick them in some way. Rather, the hostility described by Theodore Dwight, the secretary of the American Ethnological Society, arose because in the eyes of the slaveholders literacy was dangerous. The Africans’ skills constituted a proof of humanity and civilization that did not owe anything to the Christians’ supposed civilizing influence and therefore represented a threat to the notion of whites’ intellectual domination and refutation of the belief that Africans were inherently inferior2. Most of these Muslims remain anonymous or are little more than names in slave-property lists. But much evidence of the Muslim presence has survived 3. In spite of the effort to wipeout the slaves’ Islamic identity, Islamic practices and beliefs remained strong with many of them. Sulayman Nyang points out, "To the best of my knowledge, there is no evidence of any African Muslim slave family that survived slavery and maintained Islam as a way of life."4 While the materials available relating to the presence of Muslims in America during this historical period is gradually increasing, the story of these Muslims remains little known outside small segments of the African American Muslim community. (emphasis mine)

I emphasize the gradually increasing because from the research I have done what they are reporting here is more made-up than actual truth. If you follow the above link "materials available" the site suggests further reading about Muslim slaves in America.

Ironically in checking my reference regarding slavery in America Islam is not mention, though that is not meant to suggest that some of the slaves brought to America at that time were not Muslim. But the inference in the above is sheer exaggeration of truth since I could find no validation for this, except on Islamic sites. That should make one question why.

Of course I found the endorsement of CAIR where there is a variety of downloads available in English and Arabic. One topic in particular caught my attention, which was the Ethnicity of Converts found here. It is a pie chart breakdown of Muslim converts.


I note as you do that the largest conversions come from Black Americans only second by white Americans. That is a huge percentage and says to me that somehow Christianity is failing these people miserably that they would even consider converting to a religion founded on "conversion by the sword".

What I did not find was CAIR contribution as American citizens to the United States - their host country. Unfortunately their allegiance is not to the United States, or even their originating country, but to Islam first and foremost. That in and of itself should concern you greatly.

Why Thomas Jefferson had a Koran


Crossposted from The HILL Chronicles

I previously wrote on an issue involving Rep. Keith Ellison, a Muslim, and the Koran. I had said in my article, "Democrat Keith Ellison, the first Muslim to be elected to the U.S. Congress, after Ellison announced he plans to have his oath of office photo taken with the Koran, not the Christian Bible, as is tradition." Ellison was sworn in last month to serve in the House of Representatives as a United States Congressman after being elected last November from the 5th district of Minnesota.

He demanded use of and received permission from the Library of Congress to use Thomas Jefferson’s own personal copy of the Koran on which to swear his oath of allegiance to the Constitution at the inauguration ceremony.

Ellison, who was born in Detroit and converted to Islam while in college, said he chose to use Jefferson’s Koran because it showed that “a visionary like Jefferson” believed that wisdom could be gleaned from many sources.

The Library of Congress loaned out Jefferson’s rare copy of the first English language translation of the Koran ever made directly from the Arabic text. It was published in London as a two-volume set in 1764. There were many individuals that had complained about Ellison’s choice and quite an uproar was raised over the whole ordeal. Has anybody happened to ask why it was that Jefferson felt the need to own and read a copy of the Koran?

As the third president of the United States, Jefferson had no CIA to feed intelligence data to him and to his national security advisor. As a matter of fact, Jefferson had no national security officer. Times then were quite different of course.

Jefferson needed that copy of the Koran because he was desperate to learn something about Islam from that religion’s written de facto standard of all things Muslim. And you ask why? Because the United States was going to war in the early 1800s against conservative, Wahhabi-type, radical Muslims. Something obviously Rep. Ellison did not know or conveniently chose to ignore.

During the early years of the United States when our foundation was being laid, our forefathers fought an international group of terrorists who, like today’s conservative, Wahhabi-type, radical Muslims, made no distinction between geopolitical nation states. They were called the Barbary Pirates. They were from the Barbary Coast of North Africa. Allusion to the affair can be found in the words “…to the shores of Tripoli” mentioned in the Marine Corps Hymn.

Jefferson also deduced that the best way to learn about the political, military, social, economic, and religious agendas of America’s enemies was to read the best textbook on all things Muslim. So he read the Koran in what for his day was a state-of-the-art translation into English directly from the Arabic. Jefferson’s copy of the Koran equipped him with everything he needed to know on how to respond to threats from the caliphates of the early 1800s.

In response to a declaration of war on the United States of America by the Barbary Coast caliphates, Thomas Jefferson sent the USS Constitution to the Mediterranean in 1803. The fighting during those days saw so many acts of heroism that established the U.S. Navy as a force to be reckoned with.

In 1805, the Constitution supported the landing of Marines “on the shores of Tripoli” in an action that later was immortalized in the Marine Corps Hymn. The Americans and their allies destroyed the harbor citadel at Derna that served as the headquarters for the pirates.

The first blue-water ocean-going war machine of the new United States Navy turned the Tripoli harbor from state-of-the-art fortifications (state-of-the-art for 18th century Muslims, that is) back to 7th century piles of rubble. The United States Navy literally freed the Mediterranean and the world from domination by militant Islam for nearly 200 years.

The crew of the USS Constitution beat the tar out of those international terrorists. That led to a peace treaty that lasted for almost two hundred years until September 11th, 2001, when conservative, Wahhabi-type, radical Islam killed nearly 3,000 Americans.

Jefferson’s resolve to fight had its beginings in his reading the Koran as the best source of the time that was all things Muslim. Jefferson knew that 18th century Americans were in danger from what we call today conservative, Wahhabi-type, radical Islam.

Mr. Ellison, you will keep all of this in mind as you serve as the first Muslim elected to the House of Representatives, won’t you?

'Ex-terrorists' event at U-M stirs outrage

From The Detroit News:

Controversy is brewing over a presentation scheduled for Tuesday night at the University of Michigan by three self-proclaimed "ex-terrorists."


The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee has asked U-M to reconsider allowing "such hateful discussion" to take place at the university's Rackham Auditorium in Ann Arbor. Meantime, one of the former terrorists has received death threats warning him from speaking at the university, according to his representative.


U-M senior officials will meet with members of the ADC on Monday, said university spokeswoman Julie Peterson. However, the university didn't invite the group, she said.


The conservative student group Young Americans for Freedom is sponsoring the discussion called "Terrorism: The World's Greatest Threat."


But canceling such an event does not coincide with the school's mission, according to U-M officials. U-M's policy is to allow invited guests to express their views regardless of whether others disagree.


Andrew Boyd, co-chair of Young Americans for Freedom, said the three men were invited to spark dialogue on campus.


"There's a misconception about the event," Boyd said. "It's about showing the difference between Muslim extremists and the average everyday Muslim who is peaceful."


The men are Zachariah Anani, a Windsor resident, and Walid Shoebat and Kamal Saleem, who are both U.S. citizens. Anani was recently targeted by Islamist groups who have mounted a witch hunt against him, according to his spokesperson.


According to their Web site, Shoebat and Saleem are former members of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Shoebat participated in acts of terror against Israel and was later imprisoned in Jerusalem. Saleem completed his first mission to Israel at age 7.


Anani was a teenage militia fighter, where he was trained to kill Jews, according to www.3xterrorists.com. He says he killed 223 people. The ADC doubts the men's stories for "the simple fact that if they were ... 'ex-terrorists' they would all be in federal custody," according to a letter ADC sent to U-M.


The men are not swayed.


"In order to understand the negative effects of narcotics, reformed drug addicts are often called upon to talk about their experiences," Shoebat said in a statement.


"It is the same situation here. Three former terrorists are educating the world on the phenomenon of terrorism, so that people can understand."


This will be the third speaking event by the trio. The first was at Princeton University, where it had to be relocated off campus, and the other was in Philadelphia, said Keith Davies, director of the Walid Shoebat Foundation.

You think ADC could challenge CAIR's credentials while they are at it?

Where are all moderate Muslims?




I found this article entitled "Where are all moderate Muslims?" by JILL CARROLL. I believe that Jill is very blind to what is going on and the roots of Islamic teaching. While I agree that there is moderate Muslims. I do not agree with Mrs Carrolls thesis. Here is a break down of the article and my response:


The question is problematic because of what it assumes: that Islam is naturally predisposed to extremist interpretation; that most of the up to 10 million Muslims in the United States are not moderate, but radical; that those who claim to be moderate aren't because they don't stand up and denounce the extremists. None of these assumptions is supported by evidence. In fact, evidence exists to the contrary.


I tend to disagree there is much evidence to support the idea that many Muslim organizations that are supposed to be "moderate" are not. For instance CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) has had many people that while working for them have been brought up on Terror charges. They have had people that openly support Hamas. Sure they have condemned specific "acts" of terrorism but they will not label groups like Hamas and Hezbollah as terrorist organizations. Thats a bit of a problem considering the fact they are the groups that are committing terrorist acts not to mention they are the enemy of our country. So why will CAIR not denounce these terrorist organizations by name? CAIR is very problematic and I have barely scrapped the surface. This is not a Liberal or Conservative issue. This was showed by Barbra Boxer recently when she took back an award she had given to a member of CAIR. Also you should take a look at this video. You will notice that the member of CAIR will not denounce Hamas and Bezbollah. Also take a look at the rest of my post about CAIR here.
If CAIR and other Muslim organizations wanted to be truly moderate. If they really wanted to defeat terror why is it when a group like the Free Muslim Coalition has an anti-terror rally in DC that CAIR and many organizations don't support it? Ibrahim Hooper the spokesman from CAIR had this to say about this organization: "groups such as the Free Muslim Coalition Against Terrorism and the American Islamic Congress do not represent mainstream American Islam."
"They're free to reflect their viewpoint," he said. "We have our views, and we believe our views reflect the mainstream of the American Islamic community." SOURCE

I'd like to know what view points of the Free Muslim Coalition he doesn't agree with? To me they seem to be taking a firm stance against terrorism isn't that supposed to be a good thing? On top of that it seems that there was around 50 people that showed up for this rally against Terrorism. Many of them seemed to be Christians and Jews. Read here. Why is it that many Muslims can show out in masses for anti-Israel protest and protest against Cartoons. Take a look here Yet when there is a protest against terrorism and terrorist groups hardly anyone shows?



We have not had so much as a backpack bomb in this country since 9/11, and it's not because our security measures are so foolproof. Our largely terror-free experience comes because we have a free, prosperous society governed by a stable rule of law that offers tremendous opportunities for life and happiness, including religious expression. Muslims, like so many other religious, ethnic and racial groups in America, are integrated into all areas of life in all parts of the country, all sorts of neighborhoods, in all sorts of professions. They go to work, pay their taxes, raise their kids and participate in faith communities like most other citizens and residents of this country. They peacefully co-exist with others in this demographically pluralistic nation, just like almost everyone else does. They are our neighbors, co-workers, clients, friends and in-laws.


Agreed there are Muslims that do want a peaceful existence with unbelievers. Thank God they choose to ignore or do not know the deep rooted jihad ideology in Islam. As for the reason we have not been attacked since 9/11 I believe many plots have been foiled. Many of these attacks were not on the scale of 9/11 but they were attacks by Islamist. Example there was a plot to blow up a mall in Chicago read here. Also there was also an Iranian that ran over students at North Carolina University. He did it in the name of Allah and to take revenge on America.Read here. Further I believe that many of the Islamist wait until they have built up enough people to attack. That is another reason we don't see attacks on our soil right now. This was showed by the prophet of Islam Muhammad and the Treaty of Hudaybiya. He made a treaty until he could build a big enough army to attack. You can read more about that here.


Yet, we act like they've come straight from the burning streets of Baghdad or the caves of Tora Bora with plans to blow us up. We see imams praying in the airport and have them taken off the plane. We see women wearing a hijab get on a bus or subway, and we feel ourselves tense up. Or, as happened recently when I attended a large interfaith dinner here in Houston and the well-known president of a respected Muslim organization got up to bless the food in Arabic, someone at a nearby table said, "We'd better hope he's not calling for jihad!"


First of all the situation at the airport is very watered down here. The Imams were not just praying. That is not why they were pulled off the plane. First of all they were hard making anti-American comments by some witnesses and they alligned their seating arrangement like the hijackers on 9/11. They also ask for seatbelt extensions they never used. All this and much more has been documented here. So it was not that they were just praying. Not to mention one of the Imams had some ties to organizations that were not to good. Read here. Many Muslims fly everyday and are not pulled of the plane. These men were acting suspicious that is why they were pulled off.

As for the mocking of the statement "We'd better hope he's not calling for jihad". I fully agree that and we should know what is going on in mosque and what is being taught. They have found that many Mosque here in America are teaching hatred and have books and material teaching extremist ideologies in many of the major mosques. You can find more information about this here.
It has been also be reported by a Sufi Muslim that 80 percent of Mosque in America are funded by extremist. More on that here.

I believe that most people would agree what I have just outlined is very troublesome. So why cant justifiable questions be asked of Muslims about what they believe concerning the issues I have shown? I am not making the Extremist believe what they do. I am simply pointing out what they believe and the cold reality that we do not want to face.

"Peace Loving" Imam Deported to Middle East

Fawaz Damrah
From Brigette Gabriel:

A Common Voice article by Jim Kouri, CPP


While the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, may not send out press releases celebrating the capture, imprisonment and deportation of an imam, Americans should be aware that some clerics from the "religion of peace" may require closer scrutiny by law enforcement.


The US government last Friday deported a former Cleveland imam to the Palestinian territories after he was convicted by a federal jury of lying about his involvement with a designated terrorist organization.


Fawaz Damrah, 46, previously the imam of Ohio's largest mosque, raised money in the early 1990s for the group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, which is designated by the US State Department as a foreign terrorist organization.


Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials initiated the removal process against Damrah after the US Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Ohio successfully prosecuted Damrah for lying on his naturalization application by not disclosing his affiliation with the terrorist organization.


Immigration Judge Marsha Nettles subsequently ordered Damrah removed from the United States for providing material support to a terrorist organization, following the imam's one-year in federal prison.


The PIJ has carried out a long campaign of terror through suicide bombings and assassinations. In February 1990, the PIJ attacked a tour bus in Egypt, killing 11 people, including nine Israelis. The PIJ has also threatened Western interests and targeted US officials for assassination. In recent weeks, the PIJ has fired rockets into Israel despite an official cease-fire in Gaza.


Evidence presented during Damrah's criminal trial showed that he exploited the PIJ's terrorist attacks during fundraising activities for the organization. On videotape shown in court of a 1991 fundraising event, Damrah is seen explaining that, "...whoever donates... it is as if he too is fighting the holy war, and he will be rewarded like him, even if he stays home."


During other fundraising events Damrah said, "Terrorism and terrorism alone is the path to liberation."


Meanwhile, Muslims in the Detroit, MI area have repeatedly supported the imam, claiming that he is a "peace loving and religious man."


Upon arrival in Israel's international airport, the imam was met by Israeli security agents and arrested. The Israeli government hasn't commented on what they will do with Damrah or what charges will be brought against him.

Why doesn't this kind of stuff get media attention? It's why we are here.
