We need something tangible: responsibility and accountability. We will fight until we have no more fight left.’’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Justice Department declined to comment further on the administration’s position, but as the congressional analysis stated, “The issue has pitted the compensation of victims of terrorism against US foreign policy goals and some business interests.’’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/11/14/beirut_attack_victims_families_face_new_hurdle/?page=1"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-8966755580507219483?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/8966755580507219483/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=8966755580507219483' title='35 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8966755580507219483'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8966755580507219483'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-sides-with-iran-over-families-of.html' title='Obama Sides With Iran Over Families of Beirut Bombing Victims'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwgX6a6dZPI/AAAAAAAABx4/-Plx8IB7jyE/s72-c/Obama+laughing.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>35</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-2667671375255465223</id><published>2009-11-20T12:48:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T13:27:39.993-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pelosi'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Karzai'/><title type='text'>Pelosi Calls Afghan Karzai "unworthy partner"</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwcI5PgERkI/AAAAAAAABxw/SaKZiObmi5M/s1600/Pelosi.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 98px; height: 125px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwcI5PgERkI/AAAAAAAABxw/SaKZiObmi5M/s320/Pelosi.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406299657188165186" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today elitist Nancy Pelosi has thrown Afghan President Karzi into the meat grinder.

Once Obama, also a Democrat, announces his decision, lawmakers would "not be shy" about responding, she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The president of Afghanistan has proven to be an unworthy partner. We cannot fund a mission where we don't have a reliable partner and where whatever civilian investments we want to make, which are so necessary, will be diverted for a corrupt purpose," Pelosi told NPR News' Morning Edition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"How can we ask the American people to pay a big price in lives and limbs and also in dollars if we don't have a connection to a reliable partner?"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelosi's comments came a day after Karzai was sworn in for his second five-year term. He has faced tough pressure from Western leaders to clamp down on widespread corruption and replace former guerrilla leaders and cronies with able technocrats in his new government.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091120/pl_nm/us_afghanistan_usa_pelosi"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-2667671375255465223?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/2667671375255465223/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=2667671375255465223' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2667671375255465223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2667671375255465223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/pelosi-calls-afghan-karzai-unworthy.html' title='Pelosi Calls Afghan Karzai &quot;unworthy partner&quot;'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwcI5PgERkI/AAAAAAAABxw/SaKZiObmi5M/s72-c/Pelosi.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-7866547211690058870</id><published>2009-11-20T09:59:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-20T10:44:57.401-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pat Robertson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congressman Gerry Connolly'/><title type='text'>Congressman Gerry Connolly Stands up For Islam</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwbilU_7F_I/AAAAAAAABxo/NEaTboB94m4/s1600/Congressman+Gerry+Connolly.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 107px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwbilU_7F_I/AAAAAAAABxo/NEaTboB94m4/s320/Congressman+Gerry+Connolly.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406257533624719346" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;About a week ago, Pat Robertson stated that Islam is a "violent political system."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width='320' height='260'&gt;&lt;param name='movie' value='http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/flash/player.swf'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name='flashvars' value='config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg2?id=200911090042'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name='allownetworking' value='all'&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src='http://cloudfront.mediamatters.org/static/flash/player.swf' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' flashvars='config=http://mediamatters.org/embed/cfg2?id=200911090042' allowscriptaccess='always' allowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='260'&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He happens &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/islam-101-religion-of-war_05.html"target="_blank"&gt;to be correct,&lt;/a&gt; but as usual one of our politicians has to come running to stand up for a religion/political system that they know little about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Virginia's 11Th District Congressman Gerry Connolly (D), has issued this statement calling for Pat Robertson to apologize for his comments about Islam. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;“In the week since Mr. Robertson’s statement that Islam is ‘not a religion’ but a ‘violent political system’ whose adherents should be treated like members of the communist or fascist party, I have heard from hundreds of outraged Northern Virginians – Muslim and non-Muslim. Here in the 11Th Congressional District of Virginia and, in fact, across our Commonwealth, Muslim-Americans are a vibrant part of our communities. They serve in our nation’s military, contribute to our economic growth, and in myriad other ways, help form the diverse tapestry that is Virginia in the 21st century.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Some will dismiss Mr. Robertson’s comments as the strange ramblings of a man stuck in a bygone era. But when a prominent Virginian chooses to engage in hate-filled rhetoric that divides us and has the potential to fuel real discord in our polity, leaders cannot remain silent. That is why I am calling on Mr. Robertson to apologize to my constituents – Muslim and non-Muslim – for the hurt he has caused and the damage he has done. &lt;a href="http://augustafreepress.com/2009/11/19/connolly-robertsons-comments-on-islam-hate-filled-rhetoric/#comment-90591"target="_blank"&gt;It is a week overdue.”&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course Robertson should never apologize for speaking the truth. But I was curious if the Congressman had any sound evidence to back up his statement. So I called his Washington DC office today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I called a staff member named Nick answered. I stated that I am calling in regards to the Congressman telling Robertson to apologize and why does he believe that Robertson's comments were not accurate? I mentioned this site, what is was about and if I could ask a few questions. Nick stated that he didn't know about the issue, but he would write down the questions and give them to the Congressman. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These were the three questions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. The"Justice" chapter of Reliance of the Traveller&lt;br /&gt;A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law, describes Jihad as the following.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o9.0 &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;JIHAD&lt;br /&gt;(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and it etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Does the Congressman think that this is non-violent?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. The Congressman spoke of division. Koran verse 9:29 specifically calls for Muslims to dominate and extort non-Muslims (jizya). Is that not division?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/009.qmt.html"target="_blank"&gt;009.029&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUSUFALI: 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, &lt;strong&gt;(even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Congressman Connolly mentioned "hate-filled rhetoric" coming from Robertson. Saying that he "hurt" Muslims. I stated that under Islam, &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/08/what-islam-really-says-about-jesus-and.html"target="_blank"&gt;Jesus will come back as a Muslim and destroy Christianity.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;I am "hurt" and "offended",&lt;/span&gt; will Connolly make a statement against Islam now?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course he will not, but we have to pressure our politicians and let them know that Muslims are not the only ones living here. As for staff member Nick, he was very polite and interested in what I had to say. He said that I shall receive an answer in the mail.

Then how about him and the rest of our leaders stop &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/06/dept-of-justice-sues-essex-county-to.html"target="_blank"&gt;bowing down to Islam,&lt;/a&gt; and acting like Muslims are the most important people here in America?

It is devotion to our founding documents.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recent days, conservatives have assailed the Obama administration for what it sees as a political correctness in dealing with the issue of Islamic extremism. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Holder addressed the Republican criticism head on, saying that it’s vital that all ethnic and religious groups in America be treated equally.&lt;/strong&gt; He attacked racial profiling, saying it was bad policy that breeds mistrust and division.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“For the last nine months, &lt;strong&gt;I’ve heard from Muslim and Arab-Americans who feel uneasy about their relationship with their government, who feel isolated and discriminated against by law enforcement,”&lt;/strong&gt; Holder said. “This is simply intolerable. No American should feel denied the tenets of our Constitution or of the government that created it… It is inconsistent with what America is all about.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holder also addressed tensions locally that have emerged over the Oct. 28 shooting death of a Muslim leader by federal agents who were going to arrest him on suspicions he dealt with stolen goods. Holder did not mention specifically the case of Luqman Ameen Abdullah, the head of a Detroit mosque. But he said:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The dialogue between law enforcement and those in the Muslim and Arab-American communities has been tested in recent weeks by events here in Michigan and events far away.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, he added, “Our resolve must not waver. We must renew our commitment to open communication even when we disagree.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Holder also touched upon the Fort Hood shootings, in which an Arab-American Muslim serving in the U.S. Army shot dead 13 members of the military. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“We need answers,” said Abdullah’s son, Omar Regan. “Islam is a target.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not really Omar, but it should be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20091119/NEWS01/91119083/1318/Holder-Protect-all-Americans-rights"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-7303883137568867552?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/7303883137568867552/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=7303883137568867552' title='29 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7303883137568867552'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7303883137568867552'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/holder-protect-rights-of-all-americans.html' title='Holder: Protect Rights of all Americans, Including Muslims'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwbO3CInauI/AAAAAAAABxY/xy4bdJY6hyE/s72-c/Eric+Holder.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>29</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-5236186314641493226</id><published>2009-11-19T16:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T16:55:04.820-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Palestine'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Election'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Farouk Shami'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Israel'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Texas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Democrats'/><title type='text'>Israel Bashing Palestinian to run for Texas Governor</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwXoAd4MhWI/AAAAAAAABxQ/bZsPrrKa3tw/s1600/Farouk+Shami.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

I am sure that Muslims who want to destroy life as we know it, would never think of taking this invitation and infiltrate the CIA. &lt;a href="http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23450679-mi5-targets-four-met-police-officers-working-as-al-qaeda-spies.do"target="_blank"&gt;Nah, that could never happen.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;TV ad seeks to recruit Arab-Americans to CIA&lt;br /&gt;By JEFF KAROUB&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DEARBORN, Mich. – There's a swirl of activity in a spacious, modern kitchen as final meal preparations are made.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An older man tries to swipe a felafel off an appetizer plate but instead gets a loving hand slap from a woman. The happy, well-dressed guests move to a table full of food in a dining room adorned with Middle Eastern wall-hangings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's an inviting, if idealized, &lt;strong&gt;dinner party scene from any Arab-American home — at least that's what the CIA seeks to convey in the first television commercial of its kind.&lt;/strong&gt; The agency, in turn, hopes it's an inviting message to U.S. Arabs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Your nation, your world," a male voice says with a Middle Eastern accent, as the frame moves outside and pans out to show the party through a window of a gleaming, high-rise building. In seconds, the shot zooms out to an image of the U.S. from space. "They're worth protecting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Careers in the CIA."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The commercial, which the agency plans to debut on mainstream and ethnic TV stations and Web sites nationwide within the next few months, represents artistic and technological leaps for the agency. Until now, its print, broadcast and Web advertising has focused on the variety of career options and the diversity among its ranks, but the agency hasn't used a storytelling approach to sell its message.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's part of an ambitious outreach effort to communities the CIA deems critical to reducing the threat of terrorism in the U.S. The agency has a five-year plan to boost fluency in Arabic and other languages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But resistance could come from U.S. Arabs who have felt the sting of suspicion since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Many Arabs and Muslims have been dubious of the government's intelligence gathering and believe spying is going on in mosques and other places.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The CIA on Wednesday held a private screening of the commercial and another 30-second spot aimed at recruiting Iranian-Americans.&lt;/strong&gt; Each drew applause from the group of about 40 people gathered for the viewing in Dearborn, in the heart of Michigan's large Middle Eastern community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"It's important for them to know we understand how important their culture is to them. They're not going to lose that once they walk through the front doors of the CIA to work,&lt;/strong&gt;" said Christina Petrosian, chief of advertising and marketing for agency's recruitment and retention center.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091119/ap_on_re_us/us_cia_recruiting_arabs"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-7109416584019324096?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/7109416584019324096/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=7109416584019324096' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7109416584019324096'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7109416584019324096'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/tv-ad-seeks-to-recruit-arab-americans.html' title='TV ad Seeks to Recruit Arab-Americans to CIA'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwW5xS0bJ5I/AAAAAAAABxE/OMzNH4Y1cYQ/s72-c/CIA.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-1082759970636679092</id><published>2009-11-19T10:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-19T11:12:31.862-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dove World Outreach Center'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Apostates'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rifqa Bary'/><title type='text'>Rally For Rifqa Photos</title><content type='html'>Here are some pictures from this week's &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/rally-for-rifqa-monday-november-16th.html"target="_blank"&gt;Rally for Rifqa,&lt;/a&gt; that were sent in by &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/pastor-jones-message-on-rifqa-bary.html"target="_blank"&gt;Pastor Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Christian Activists Draw Attention To Rifqa Bary Case At Public Rally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;COLUMBUS, Ohio—Dozens of Christian activists descended on Columbus Monday morning to rally in the name of Rifqa Barry, the central Ohio teenager who converted from Islam to Christianity.

A hearing scheduled for Monday was postponed until December 22.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rally-goers said they are worried about Bary’s safety if she is returned to her parents. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There is the larger question of, ‘Is Aamerica going to protect religious freedom at this time and allow this girl to make a choice in conscience to be a Christian, rather than a Muslim,“ asked Robert Spencer, a co-organizer of the rally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;A group of Christian activists that traveled to Columbus from Florida wore t-shirts criticizing the Islamic religion.&lt;/span&gt; Bary’s parents hope to regain custody. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigators in both Ohio and Florida have not found a credible threat to Rifqa Bary’s safety.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=" http://www2.nbc4i.com/cmh/news/local/article/Christian_Activists_Draw_Attention_to_Rifqa_Bary_Case_at_Public_Rally/26723/"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The group with the "Islam is of the Devil" shirts, is from the Dove World Outreach Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwWNWkRlDiI/AAAAAAAABws/vhrJP2KE5Sg/s1600/IMG_1109.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwWNWkRlDiI/AAAAAAAABws/vhrJP2KE5Sg/s400/IMG_1109.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405882346562194978" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Spencer doing his usual great work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwWNhH8zgBI/AAAAAAAABw0/ugua0H9dHOc/s1600/Rally+for+Rifqa+5.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 330px; height: 297px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwWNhH8zgBI/AAAAAAAABw0/ugua0H9dHOc/s400/Rally+for+Rifqa+5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405882527937429522" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finally Pamela Geller, who helped organize the rally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwWNodxJU6I/AAAAAAAABw8/taczEGmvJjc/s1600/Rally+for+Rifqa+33.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 330px; height: 297px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwWNodxJU6I/AAAAAAAABw8/taczEGmvJjc/s400/Rally+for+Rifqa+33.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5405882654053192610" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Great work guys!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-1082759970636679092?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/1082759970636679092/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=1082759970636679092' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/1082759970636679092'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/1082759970636679092'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/rally-for-rifqa-photos.html' title='Rally For Rifqa Photos'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwWNWkRlDiI/AAAAAAAABws/vhrJP2KE5Sg/s72-c/IMG_1109.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-7885110442983284964</id><published>2009-11-18T08:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-18T13:20:31.209-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Congressman Donald Manzullo'/><title type='text'>My (non) Conversation With Congressman Manzullo's (R-Ill.)

Washington office, in regards to his statement that &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/rep-donald-manzullo-r-ill-bows-to-islam.html"target="_blank"&gt;"Islam is a religion of peace."&lt;/a&gt; Originally he has speaking about Islamic terrorists and had said this: "These are really, really mean people whose job it is to kill people, &lt;strong&gt;driven by some savage religion."&lt;/strong&gt; Of course he received some complaints and has since apologized. Backing off of his original stance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I say non-conversation, because he only responded to what he wanted to.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is how it went.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Hi, my name is Chris Logan and I am calling in regards to the Congressman's comment about Islam being a religion of peace. I run a site called Islam in Action, that documents the worldwide threat of Islamofascism. Do you mind if I ask you a few quick questions?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: OK, sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: The"Justice" chapter of Reliance of the Traveller&lt;br /&gt;A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law, describes Jihad as the following.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;o9.0 &lt;strong&gt;JIHAD&lt;br /&gt;(O: Jihad means to war against non-Muslims, and it etymologically derived from the word mujahada, signifying warfare to establish the religion.&lt;/strong&gt; And it is the lesser jihad.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is so peaceful about that? Please keep in mind that this book has the stamp of approval from &lt;a href="http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/46851/al-Azhar-University"target="_blank"&gt;Al-Azhar,&lt;/a&gt; the highest learning Islamic school in the world. (Sunni)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: Ummm......(silence).....sounds like a way of proselytizing. What is your stance on transferring some Gitmo guys here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Is it a peaceful way? No it is not, and I am only calling about his statement on Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: What was your next question?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Koran Verse 9:29 clearly states that Muslims should extort (jizya) Jews and Christians that do not want to convert to Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/009.qmt.html"target="_blank"&gt;009.029&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUSUFALI: 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, &lt;strong&gt;until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: Is there a way you can email us your research? Go to our site and send it to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Will it matter, will I actually get an answer? Also some politicians do not accept emails from citizens outside their constituency. Is your site like that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: Yes, it is. (He offered no alternative email address.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Let me read something else to you. From the Bukhari Hadiths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/008.sbt.html#001.008.387"target="_blank"&gt;Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated Anas bin Malik:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'&lt;/strong&gt; And if they say so, pray like our prayers, face our Qibla and slaughter as we slaughter, then their blood and property will be sacred to us and we will not interfere with them except legally and their reckoning will be with Allah." Narrated Maimun ibn Siyah that he asked Anas bin Malik, "O Abu Hamza! What makes the life and property of a person sacred?" He replied, "Whoever says, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah', faces our Qibla during the prayers, prays like us and eats our slaughtered animal, then he is a Muslim, and has got the same rights and obligations as other Muslims have."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a command to fight on till the entire planet is Islamic or under Islamic rule. While Mohammad can obviously not fight on, his conduct is to be followed by Muslims for all times.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/033.qmt.html"target="_blank"&gt;033.021&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUSUFALI: &lt;strong&gt;Ye have indeed in the Messenger of Allah a beautiful pattern (of conduct) for any one whose hope is in Allah and the Final Day,&lt;/strong&gt; and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: &lt;strong&gt;Listen we are not going to go on a Crusade here.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Where did I say to do that? They can say what ever they want, and &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/ny-muslims-us-military-blood-will-spill.html"target="_blank"&gt;preach hatred right on our streets.&lt;/a&gt; But when someone says a something about their religion that they do not like, they complain and a lot of times non-Muslims back down. Like the Congressman did. What is happening here is exactly what happened in the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/06/uk-sharia-courtssharia-is-law-of-land.html"target="_blank"&gt;UK with Islam.&lt;/a&gt; I am saying that &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/end-muslim-immigration-mondays.html"target="_blank"&gt;Muslim immigration needs to be ended,&lt;/a&gt; as they will never stop pushing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: Hmmm....I understand, thanks for your research and for supporting our position.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: &lt;strong&gt;I already stated that I don't support your position.&lt;/strong&gt; I support the first statement, before the Congressman backed off.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff Member: Sorry I cannot help you, thanks again and take care.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is just another case of our weak government wishing to remain purposely blind to the harsh reality of Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For similar conversation with a Senator Lindsey Graham staff member click &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-conversation-with-sen-lindsey-graham.html"target="_blank"&gt;HERE.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-7885110442983284964?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/7885110442983284964/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=7885110442983284964' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7885110442983284964'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7885110442983284964'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-non-conversation-with-congressman.html' title='My (non) Conversation With Congressman Manzullo&apos;s (R-Ill.)

Instead they are looking to bring Sharia Law into Western civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This article was sent in by Varjager, a friend in Sweden whose site documents the Islamic threat there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://varjager.wordpress.com/"target="_blank"&gt;Varjager.wordpress.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;...............................&lt;br /&gt;Sweden's Muslim Association (SME) is the largest Muslim organization in Sweden, with about 70,000 members. Muslim Association of Sweden is part of the umbrella Muslim Council of Sweden (SMR). They are seriously Muslim-oriented and have a clear agenda, Muslims are supposed to live like Muslims in Sweden, period!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Even the women of Muslim Council of Sweden demands Sharia Laws for Muslim-styled marriages&lt;/strong&gt; because they can't marry in the Swedish Church! We are a secular country with secular laws and you can even get married at a police-station today, if the police-man is legally permitted to wed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The goal they have in SMR, Muslim Council of Sweden, is more about protecting Muslims from the Swedish society, rather than promote integration.&lt;/strong&gt; They just to have to live as Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslim women would &lt;a href="http://hedersrelateratvald.blogspot.com/2008/03/muslimska-kvinnor-vill-sjlva-skta.html"target="_blank"&gt;themselves deal with marriage issues.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Back to the big topic I want to share with the readers of Christopher Logans brilliant blog, ”Islam In Action”:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sweden has quite a lot of Muslims in our political parties, all the way up to our highest organ in Sweden, (vår svenska riksdag), the Swedish Parliament, where they are Mps, (riksdagsledamöter).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's hard to tell if every one of them does, but they do sometimes seem to have a strange way of looking at Swedish political phenomenons. And of course, the Muslims in Sweden as a group are given the privilage to give their opinion when it comes to Islam and Muslim issues, before anyone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Too many of them are living in seperate communities and have no intensions nor requirements at all to integrate.&lt;/strong&gt; We have had several voting- rounds about immigrants in our parliament and the resolutions came out, in short: 'they can choose how and if they want to integrate and what they need from the Swedish society. They are a minority'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All this weakness from Sweden encourages the muslims, and one big islamic organisation in Sweden wrote an open letter to all swedish parties before the election to parliament year 2006.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The contents of the letter where requirements for Sharia Laws and for a number of other advantages for Muslims.&lt;/strong&gt; The sender was the chairman of the Muslim Association of Sweden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Swedish media barely react, but people, Islam-critics and so called ”critics of the system”,( in swedish; systemkritiker), have talked about this letter since.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Swedish people go to the polls in 2010. And on a Nomination List in a district for maybe become a name of the future electoral list for parliament, stood Mahmoud Aldebe, chairman of the Muslim Association of Sweden. He was a district-canditate for one of our seven big ruling-parties in Sweden, called Centerpartiet, a party in the middle,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suddenly someone reacted and wrote an article published a swedish tabloid, called Expressen. The author of article was very suspicious about the requirements the chairman of the Muslim Association of Sweden, Mahmoud Aldebe, had written down in the ”open letter”.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This happened a months ago and this Sunday Mahmoud Aldebe wrote to our biggest newsagency called TT, Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”Mahmoud Aldebe, chairman of the Muslim Association of Sweden, drops his candidacy for the Center Party in parliament, he writes in an email to TT. &lt;strong&gt;He argued, inter alia, that there are people with Islamophobia within the Party and also in other established Parties, and that he will never feel welcome.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When it became known that Aldebe wanted to stand aroused strong feelings. In an article for just a months ago said Elisabeth Thanda Ringqvist, an expert to Industryminister Maud Olofsson,(Centerpartiet) among other things, that "the Islamists do not belong in C". She reacted to that Aldebe three years ago advocated Sharia Laws. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aldebe, in turn, reacted against what he considered serious personal attacks and Islamophobic noises, and noted that he previously advocated Sharia Law, but withdrew the requirement.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aldebe drop out of the Parliamentary candidacy, Dagens Nyheter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dn.se/nyheter/valet2010/aldebe-hoppar-av-riksdagskandidatur-1.990132"target="_blank"&gt;Aldebe hoppar av riksdagskandidatur, Dagens Nyheter&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's Wednesday (11/11) today and I haven't noticed any reactions in any Swedish newspaper more than articles like the one from DN, telling about his decision.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I am relieved and I think many, many people are too. &lt;strong&gt;But the struggle against Sharia Laws and Islamization of Sweden continues, and we vill never give in!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the requirements from 2006, from Muslim Association of Sweden, &lt;a href="http://www.sr.se/Diverse/AppData/Isidor/files/83/2113.pdf"target="_blank"&gt;as a pdf.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can use Google to translate and get a wink of the requirements , but I can reproduce some of them. The following below is a direct translation using Google Translate:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”To support the establishment of Islamic schools in densely populated areas with many Muslims where Islamic students have the opportunity of teaching in homogeneous groups can enhance students' cultural and religious identity and in this way, many of the problems Muslim students daily encounter easily eliminated such home language, religious education, Muslim food issue, gymnastics question and it may be a concrete way to help boys and girls from Muslim countries to participate in separate swimming and thereby causing the leaving certificate from school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Muslim girls finish their secondary education without being able to swim at all. ”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”Communal Swimming-halls and gym communal should be open to separate evenings for men and boys and one evening for women and girls because:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”In this case, it is among other things that young girls from Muslim countries should get opportunity to participate in swimming, thereby causing a passing grade in physical education. ”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”Including ethical and religious reasons do that Muslim girls should not go swimming with young boys and men.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;”Muslim festivals &lt;br /&gt;That parliament enacts a law that gives Swedish Muslims to be vacant during the Islamic feasts, Eid al Fitr and Eid al Adha is required from all Muslims.

Otherwise there is a risk that the majority of Muslims become non-voters on election day.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Muslims are tired of promises and frustrated&lt;/strong&gt; desire to have concrete proposals to show that we care.

Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.) says his remark about terrorism suspects did not refer to Islam generally.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporting from Washington - An Illinois congressman who opposes the idea of moving terrorism suspects to a prison in his district &lt;strong&gt;issued a qualified apology Tuesday after a comment that critics viewed as insulting to Islam.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview with television station WREX in Rockford, Ill., Republican Rep. Donald Manzullo said of terrorism suspects: "These are really, really mean people whose job it is to kill people, driven by some savage religion." An aide said Tuesday that Manzullo, who opposes the possibility of housing detainees from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in the Thomson Correctional Center in northwestern Illinois, received about 20 complaints about the remark. The Obama administration has identified Thomson as a possible site for the detainees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a statement, Manzullo said he was not referring generally to Islam, but to terrorists who practice a violent, anti-modern version of Islam. He said Islam is a "religion of peace"&lt;/strong&gt; and that the vast majority of its adherents are "men and women of goodwill."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He added: &lt;strong&gt;"Nevertheless, I apologize for any misunderstanding of my comments and I will endeavor in the future to clarify my remarks to make it absolutely clear that America is not opposed to Islam, but that we are fighting terrorists who believe in a savage, perverted, and violent form of Islam."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-guantanamo-illinois18-2009nov18,0,5590211.story"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-3282448834052895495?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/3282448834052895495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=3282448834052895495' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3282448834052895495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3282448834052895495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/rep-donald-manzullo-r-ill-bows-to-islam.html' title='Rep.

Nidal Malik Hasan's alleged killing of 13 soldiers at Fort Hood is inexcusable and reprehensible. &lt;strong&gt;But he also believes it is important to investigate reports of harassment that Hasan allegedly faced as a Muslim in the military -- mistreatment that Weinstein says could have contributed to his mental state.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“There's enough out there” to look into, Weinstein said. “I'm not excusing him, but did it affect him or was he just a maniac to begin with?”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weinstein cited media reports quoting members of Hasan's family saying that someone had put a diaper in his car and told him, “That's your headdress,” and that a camel was drawn on his car with the words “Camel jockey, get out!”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weinstein also provided a letter, with the name withheld, from a Muslim woman and wife of a member of the military in which she described how her best friend on the base, immediately after the shooting, told her that “Muslims shouldn't even be allowed in the U.S. Army” and that she repeatedly heard things like “Go back to your country” and “F-ing Muslims” as she shopped at the base commissary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weinstein, who spent 10 years in the Air Force as a military attorney, or JAG, said &lt;strong&gt;he also doesn't believe reports that Hasan's colleagues hesitated to report his changes in behavior because of political correctness.&lt;/strong&gt; In fact, he claimed, Hasan's superiors would have been sympathetic to hearing such charges because of their strong Christian beliefs.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://jta.org/news/article/2009/11/16/1009235/weinstein-speaking-up-for-islam-amid-hasan-case"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Weinstein's last statement completely goes against the facts that have come out.

The news this morning is even more disturbing, as our brave soldiers were forced to confide with Hasan and he was playing games with their minds. Stating that some of them should be charged with war crimes. Our so called &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/3-star-gen-army-was-afraid-to-deal-with.html"target="_blank"&gt;military leaders&lt;/a&gt; should be ashamed of themselves, for allowing this to go on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Fort Hood captain: Hasan wanted patients to face war crimes charges&lt;br /&gt;November 17, 2009&lt;br /&gt;By BROOKS EGERTON / The Dallas Morning News &lt;br /&gt;Dave Michaels and Lee Hancock contributed to this report.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fort Hood massacre suspect Nidal Malik Hasan sought to have some of his patients prosecuted for war crimes based on statements they made during psychiatric sessions with him, a captain who served on the base said Monday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other psychiatrists complained to superiors that Hasan's actions violated doctor-patient confidentiality, Capt. Shannon Meehan told The Dallas Morning News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One day after the Nov. 5 attack that killed 13 and wounded 29, a Fort Hood official said she had never received complaints about Hasan's job performance. Col. Kimberly Kesling, deputy commander of clinical services at the base's Darnall Army Medical Center, also said he was a "hardworking, dedicated young man who gave great care to his patients."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fort Hood officials did not respond to interview requests late Monday. They have declined in recent days to say anything about the major, citing the ongoing investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meehan said he learned of Hasan's prosecution requests from another base psychiatrist. That psychiatrist could not be reached for comment Monday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The revelations add to a portrait of Hasan as a man at odds with many of those around him – emotionally, religiously and ideologically. He was, by various accounts, lonely, paranoid and increasingly zealous in his fundamentalist Islamic beliefs. &lt;strong&gt;He had been writing e-mails to a radical cleric in Yemen who called the U.S. war on terror a "war against Muslims" and advocated killing soldiers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It wasn't clear Monday what information Hasan received from patients and what became of his requests for prosecution. &lt;strong&gt;ABC News, citing anonymous sources, reported that his superiors rejected the requests, and that investigators suspect this triggered the shootings.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hasan may have been legally justified in reporting what patients disclosed, said Patrick McLain, a Dallas lawyer who specializes in military defense work and is not involved in the Hasan case. But it's impossible to be sure without knowing exactly what they said, he added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He was right on his authority to report it," said the ex-Marine, who formerly served as a court-martial judge. The Army teaches all service members that they have a duty to report evidence of war crimes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hasan's civilian lawyer in Central Texas, retired Col. John P. Galligan, did not respond to interview requests Monday.

They are now pushing forward in attempt to try and make it against international law to criticize Islam. As they know that if we cannot name our enemy, we cannot defeat it. In the past the OIC was able to get the United Nations to &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2008/10/un-bans-its-own-leader-from-criticizing.html"target="_blank"&gt;ban all criticism of Islam in regards to human rights.&lt;/a&gt; Will they be able to pull this off? With the UN involved, this is very possible.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hat tip to &lt;a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/"target="_blank"&gt;The Religion of Peace.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Islamic Nations Seek Legally Binding Way to Counter Religious ‘Defamation’&lt;br /&gt;Monday, November 16, 2009&lt;br /&gt;By Patrick Goodenough, International Editor&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(CNSNews.com) – As support wanes for its campaign to secure controversial but non-binding “defamation of religion” resolutions at the United Nations, &lt;strong&gt;the Islamic bloc is pushing ahead with an alternative route – one that would carry the weight of international law.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The OIC is now attempting to have a key U.N. panel amend an existing international treaty to encompass supposedly religiously defamatory speech.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unlike the resolutions, changing the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) to cover religion would be legally enforceable.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) has for the past decade overseen the passage of non-binding resolutions at the U.N. General Assembly and human rights bodies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Last week, the most recent effort passed in the General Assembly’s Third Committee, which deals with social, cultural, and humanitarian issues. It will go before the full General Assembly for a vote next month, but the committee vote indicates a continuing, measurable decline in support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eighty-one countries voted for the resolution, 55 opposed it and 43 abstained. The result showed less support for and more opposition against the resolution than for those introduced by the OIC over the last three years. (see graph)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As in past years, most support came from the 57-member OIC (although two members, Burkina Faso, and Cameroon, abstained) plus non-Muslim allies in the developing world, led by China, Russia, Cuba and Venezuela.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comparisons of voting records from 2006 to date reveal a continuing erosion of support in Latin America. Chile, Mexico, Panama, Uruguay all voted against the OIC-led resolution this year, having abstained in 2008. Elsewhere, Lesotho and Sri Lanka were among those who moved from supporting the resolution in 2008, to abstaining this year.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The OIC argues that religion needs to be protected from “defamation” – acts such as the publication of newspaper cartoons satirizing Mohammed, or the suggestion that the Koran promotes violence against non-Muslims.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although its resolutions purport to cover all religions, Islam is the only one cited by name. &lt;strong&gt;The text passed by the Third Committee voices concern that “Islam is frequently and wrongly associated with human rights violations and terrorism.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The OIC campaign has been confronted by freedom of expression advocates who say the bloc is trying to shield Islam, its teachings, practices, institutions and leaders, from legitimate criticism or scrutiny.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Critics say defamation prohibitions should cover individuals, not religions. They charge that resolution proponents are trying to introduce in Western societies similar restrictions to those enforced in some Islamic countries, where converts from Islam or those with dissident views risk trial for apostasy or blasphemy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘Binding normative standards’&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the nonbinding U.N. resolutions, the OIC’s alternative strategy proposes to develop “new binding normative standards relating to religious ideas, objects and positions,” including “legal prohibition of publication of materials that negatively stereotypes, insults or uses of offensive language on matters regarded by followers of any religion or belief as sacred.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/57158"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-3554319643019269887?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/3554319643019269887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=3554319643019269887' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3554319643019269887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3554319643019269887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/islamic-nations-seek-legally-binding.html' title='Islamic Nations Seek Legally Binding Way to Counter Criticism of Islam'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-8320119408577719785</id><published>2009-11-15T12:08:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T12:55:03.065-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UK'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Prison'/><title type='text'>UK: Islamists 'promote jihad in jail'</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwBo96N-nCI/AAAAAAAABv0/RS9asgruhG8/s1600-h/Muslims+in+prison+UK.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 124px; height: 89px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwBo96N-nCI/AAAAAAAABv0/RS9asgruhG8/s320/Muslims+in+prison+UK.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404434965653789730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just like the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/06/uk-sharia-courtssharia-is-law-of-land.html"target="_blank"&gt;hatred that is being preached in the UK Sharia Courts,&lt;/a&gt; the hatred stemming from Islam is circulating throughout the UK prison system. This is no surprise though, but if this were not such a serious issue this article could be deemed comical. The authorities have stated that they have it all under control.

and these revelations suggest we cannot be confident of that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The government must move quickly to address the exceptionally serious issues this report raises."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Ministry of Justice said the Quilliam Foundation did not contact the department and did not apply to visit any jails or speak to prison staff.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A spokeswoman said: "We are extremely skilled in managing all challenging and dangerous criminals, and adapting to evolving risks and dangers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We run a dedicated, expert unit which leads work to tackle the risk of extremism and radicalisation in prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"All our high-security prisons operate enhanced monitoring and intelligence-gathering on those convicted or suspected of involvement in terrorism or extremism."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/8361440.stm"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-8320119408577719785?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/8320119408577719785/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=8320119408577719785' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8320119408577719785'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8320119408577719785'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/uk-islamists-promote-jihad-in-jail.html' title='UK: Islamists &apos;promote jihad in jail&apos;'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SwBo96N-nCI/AAAAAAAABv0/RS9asgruhG8/s72-c/Muslims+in+prison+UK.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-7236654020396197243</id><published>2009-11-14T11:22:00.001-08:00</published><updated>2010-03-05T11:00:26.349-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Newspaper'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Wyoming Tribune Eagle'/><title type='text'>Wyoming Tribune Eagle's Misinformation on Islam~Corrected!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Sv8Q3nGr8CI/AAAAAAAABvs/F174WxKSXGk/s1600-h/Wyoming+Eagle+Tribune.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Sv8Q3nGr8CI/AAAAAAAABvs/F174WxKSXGk/s320/Wyoming+Eagle+Tribune.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404056625443762210" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the wake of the Islamic terrorist attack on Fort Hood, we continue to see numerous &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/columnist-s-chapman-us-soldiers-might.html"target="_blank"&gt;media outlets spreading misinformation about Islam.&lt;/a&gt; Today it is the &lt;a href="http://www.wyomingnews.com/articles/2009/11/14/news/20local_11-14-09.txt#comments"target="_blank"&gt;Wyoming Tribune Eagle.&lt;/a&gt; Lets make the appropriate corrections.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Local Muslims condemn acts of violence in name of their religion&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Baylie Evans&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CHEYENNE - One local Muslim, Mohamed Salih, is clear in his feelings toward the Muslim man who allegedly went on a shooting rampage at Fort Hood last week. He deserves to be at the "bottom of the biggest hell," Salih said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;There is a misconception among many non-Muslims that Islam, the religion that Muslims follow, encourages hate and violence. Really, it teaches the opposite, he said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"(Violence) has no place in this religion," he said. "There is no god out there that would accept killing innocent people."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want to get technical Mohamed, under Islamic Law those murdered at Fort Hood were not "innocent people".&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the "Justice" chapter of Reliance of the Traveller&lt;br /&gt;A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;THE RULES OF WARFARE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o9.10 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is not permissible (A: in jihad) to kill women or children unless they are fighting against the Muslims.&lt;/strong&gt; Nor is it permissible to kill animals, unless they are being ridden into battle against the Muslims, or if killing them will help defeat the enemy. It is permissible to kill old men (O: &lt;em&gt;old man&lt;/em&gt; (shaykh) meaning someone more than forty years of age) and monks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If I recall correctly the US Military is fighting against Muslims, in Afghanistan, Iraq, and sometimes Pakistan and Somalia. So there goes your "innocent" con..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;And while non-Muslims can misunderstand Islam, so too can Muslims themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any person who commits an act of violence in name of Islam gravely misunderstands the religion, Salih said. &lt;strong&gt;Terrorists have misunderstood the Islamic duty of jihad, which means struggle.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The "greater jihad" is within one's self, Salih said, against egos and evil within. The "lesser jihad" means actions to defend one's self and family.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Or this Muslim can be lying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o9.0 &lt;strong&gt;JIHAD&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(O: &lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jihad&lt;/em&gt; means to war against non-Muslims, and it etymologically derived from the word &lt;em&gt;mujahada&lt;/em&gt;, signifying warfare to establish the religion. And it is the lesser jihad.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now an Islamic woman comes into the article.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; Even nations can blur the line between religion and politics, Arshi Nisley, another local Muslim, added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In some Islamic countries, women are not allowed to own property, divorce or have the same rights as men. &lt;strong&gt;But the religion allows women equal treatment and rights.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't think that's religion at all," Nisley said. "I think that's politics."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It appears that this woman does not truly know much about Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the "Relations Between a Husband and Wives" chapter of Reliance of the Traveller&lt;br /&gt;A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PERMITTING ONE'S WIFE TO LEAVE THE HOUSE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;m10.3 (A: A husband may permit his wife to leave the house for a lesson in Sacred Law, for the invocation of Allah (dhikr), to see her female friends, or to go to any place in the town. A woman may not leave the city without her husband or a member of her unmarriageabe kin (def: m6.2) accompanying her, unless the journey is obligatory, like the hajj. &lt;strong&gt;It is unlawful for her to travel otherwise, and unlawful for her husband to allow her to.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;m10.4 &lt;strong&gt;The husband may forbid his wife to leave the home&lt;/strong&gt; (O: because of the hadith related by Bayhaqi that the Prophet (Allah bless him and give him peace) said,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to allow someone into her husband's house if he is opposed or to go out if he is averse")&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These rulings are just part of the discrimination against women under Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Both Salih and Nisley said they haven't encountered hostility from the local community. In fact, they've felt welcomed. Salih has worked hard to try to educate people about Islam. Violent acts by Muslims set his efforts back, he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The religion is already misunderstood by many, and every time a Muslim kills in the name of Islam, it undoes the work that many have done to dispel myths and misinformation. The Fort Hood shooter hurt Muslims twice, Salih said: their country and their religion.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Actually the entire article published in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle was full of misinformation. Maybe the author should do some actual research next time, and there is no need to thank me for the corrections. It was my pleasure.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-7236654020396197243?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/7236654020396197243/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=7236654020396197243' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7236654020396197243'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7236654020396197243'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/wyoming-tribune-eagle-spreading.html' title='Wyoming Tribune Eagle&apos;s Misinformation on Islam~Corrected!'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Sv8Q3nGr8CI/AAAAAAAABvs/F174WxKSXGk/s72-c/Wyoming+Eagle+Tribune.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-9090333360753650289</id><published>2009-11-14T09:45:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-14T10:19:12.758-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lewis M.

Voss.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Faheem Kazimi, chairman of the board of directors, said IEC leases its building from the Alavi Foundation but no other connection exists.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The Islamic Education Center is a nonprofit, independent organization, not affiliated with any other organization,” Kazimi said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He refused to answer any other questions Thursday evening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 97-page civil forfeiture lawsuit filed by federal prosecutors in Manhattan alleges that the Alavi Foundation, which files federal taxes as a charitable foundation, is illegally funneling money to the government of Iran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. government has accused Iran of financing terrorist organizations and trying to build nuclear weapons. There are no allegations of wrongdoing against those who work and worship at the Houston mosque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No action has been taken against any tenants or occupants of those properties," said Yusill Scribner, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York. "There are no allegations of any wrongdoing on the part of any of these tenants or occupants." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The foundation released a written statement through an attorney, saying the group was disappointed with the government's legal move.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Citing U.S. policy under several presidents and the International Emergency Economic Power Act, the civil suit alleges that the foundation's property, which includes the Islamic Education Center, is forfeitable as proceeds of violations of laws including money laundering.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The indictment alleges how the Alavi Foundation has been providing services to Iran and the government-owned Bank Melli. The suit also alleges how shell corporations were used to dodge taxes and how a foundation official was arrested for allegedly destroying documents being sought in a grand jury investigation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The U.S. Treasury has accused Bank Melli of providing support for Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The civil suit seeks forfeiture of a 36-story New York City office tower along with other property in New York, California, Virginia, Maryland and several bank accounts. This lawsuit replaces one prosecutors filed in 2008 seeking forfeiture of only a portion of the New York City office tower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;‘Somewhat of a surprise'&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Distraught worshippers milled around the center Thursday. Several guarded the gated entrance, shooing away reporters who tried to approach. A few women peeked out windows at the television satellite trucks and cameras and then looked away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Farouk Abdulghani said he has three boys who attend the center's Islamic school.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“I know for a fact this center has not done anything wrong or suspicious,” Abdulghani said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The allegations were “somewhat of a surprise,” he said, “but you're always expecting something like this. Muslims always feel they're on the defensive.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdulghani added that he's worried about the consequences for his community and his children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“It's really upsetting,” he said. “I don't want my kids to lose their school because of something like this.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hussein Abdi said he moved to the U.S. from Iran more than 30 years ago and he's been worshipping at IEC for two decades. He came Thursday to pray.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“It makes me furious,” Abdi said. “We're under attack.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/life/religion/6717563.html"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6471738872475873684?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6471738872475873684/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6471738872475873684' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6471738872475873684'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6471738872475873684'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/muslims-decry-move-to-seize-houston.html' title='Muslims Decry Move to Seize Houston Mosque'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Sv2pC9AqNOI/AAAAAAAABvk/TZdE6Ki6_24/s72-c/Poor+me.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-1150201916536017674</id><published>2009-11-13T09:41:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-13T09:50:41.262-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='France'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Paris'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prayers'/><title type='text'>Muslims Take Over Paris Street for Prayer~Video</title><content type='html'>Muslims takeover a city street, while dropping to pray in front of dozens of storefronts.

Witnesses said he shouted anti-Christian comments, said police.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lt. Mike Elerick of the Pleasanton Police Department said the man was not provoked and didn't threaten violence, but he committed robbery when he grabbed and broke a crucifix off someone's neck. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coworkers told police that Hamid's actions were out of the ordinary and that he had worked at the kiosk for years. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police also said they weren't aware of a prior criminal history for the man.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We had multiple people calling 911," Elerick said. "One female was crouching down and hiding from him. He definitely scared quite a few people."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Elerick said much of the man's speech was similar to the loud scene of the Christian activists who frequent downtown Pleasanton. The big difference, however, was that Hamid was on private property and had physical contact with someone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Mall management has the option of making a citizen's arrest on anybody and asking someone to remove themselves for any reason," he said. "If there was no physical contact between Hamid and the customers, with just his actions alone, the mall would have asked that he be removed." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hamid was reportedly not cooperating and was arrested by force and taken to John George Psychiatric Pavilion in San Leandro for an evaluation. Police said the case would be forwarded to the District Attorney's Office for review and possible charges.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.danvilleweekly.com/news/show_story.php?id=2339"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-5646879768072530972?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/5646879768072530972/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=5646879768072530972' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5646879768072530972'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5646879768072530972'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/ca-muslim-in-mall-tears-crucifix-from.html' title='CA: Muslim in Mall Tears Crucifix From Christian&apos;s Neck'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Svy1W8RI_WI/AAAAAAAABvc/KqPUM8YupFY/s72-c/Crucifix+on+chain.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-6301272523737228808</id><published>2009-11-12T15:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T15:38:58.107-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FBI'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Muslims'/><title type='text'>Feds Move to Seize 4 US Mosques, Tower Linked to Iran</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvychPqLIoI/AAAAAAAABvM/CwM546ZsPBo/s1600-h/FBI.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 135px; height: 135px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvychPqLIoI/AAAAAAAABvM/CwM546ZsPBo/s320/FBI.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403365747890791042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The war with Islam, on US soil goes &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/ma-muslims-pack-courtroon-in-support-of.html"target="_blank"&gt;on&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/columnist-s-chapman-us-soldiers-might.html"target="_blank"&gt;on.&lt;/a&gt; Thankfully the Feds are starting to fight back!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Feds move to seize 4 mosques, tower linked to Iran&lt;br /&gt;By ADAM GOLDMAN &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NEW YORK — &lt;strong&gt;Federal prosecutors took steps Thursday to seize four U.S. mosques and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper owned by a nonprofit Muslim organization long suspected of being secretly controlled by the Iranian government.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In what could prove to be one of the biggest counterterrorism seizures in U.S. history, prosecutors filed a civil complaint in federal court against the Alavi Foundation, seeking the forfeiture of more than $500 million in assets.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The assets include bank accounts; Islamic centers consisting of schools and mosques in New York City, Maryland, California and Houston; more than 100 acres in Virginia; and a 36-story glass office tower in New York.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Confiscating the properties would be a sharp blow against Iran, which has been accused by the U.S. government of bankrolling terrorism and trying to build a nuclear bomb.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A telephone call and e-mail to Iran's U.N. Mission seeking comment were not immediately answered. Nor was a call to the Alavi Foundation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It is extremely rare for U.S. law enforcement authorities to seize a house of worship, a step fraught with questions about the First Amendment right to freedom of religion.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The action against the Shiite Muslim mosques is sure to inflame relations between the U.S. government and American Muslims, many of whom are fearful of a backlash after last week's Fort Hood shooting rampage, blamed on a Muslim American major.&lt;br /&gt;The mosques and the skyscraper will remain open while the forfeiture case works its way through court in what could be a long process. What will happen to them if the government ultimately prevails is unclear. But the government typically sells properties it has seized through forfeiture, and the proceeds are sometimes distributed to crime victims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prosecutors said the Alavi Foundation managed the office tower on behalf of the Iranian government and, working with a front company known as Assa Corp., illegally funneled millions in rental income to Iran's state-owned Bank Melli. Bank Melli has been accused by a U.S. Treasury official of providing support for Iran's nuclear program, and it is illegal in the United States to do business with the bank.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. has long suspected the foundation was an arm of the Iranian government; a 97-page complaint details involvement in foundation business by several top Iranian officials, including the deputy prime minister and ambassadors to the United Nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"For two decades, the Alavi Foundation's affairs have been directed by various Iranian officials, including Iranian ambassadors to the United Nations, in violation of a series of American laws," U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There were no raids Thursday as part of the forfeiture action. The government is simply required to post notices of the civil complaint on the property.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As prosecutors outlined their allegations against Alavi, the Islamic centers and the schools they run carried on with normal activity. The mosques' leaders had no immediate comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parents lined up in their cars to pick up their children at the schools within the Islamic Education Center of Greater Houston and the Islamic Education Center in Rockville, Md. No notices of the forfeiture action were posted at either place as of late Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At the Islamic Institute of New York, a mosque and school in Queens, two U.S. marshals came to the door and rang the bell repeatedly. The marshals taped a forfeiture notice to the window and left a large document sitting on the ground. After they left a group of men came out of the building and took the document.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fourth Islamic center marked for seizure is in Carmichael, Calif.&lt;br /&gt;The skyscraper, known as the Piaget building, was erected in the 1970s under the shah of Iran, who was overthrown in 1979. The tenants include law and investment firms and other businesses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The sleek, modern building, last valued at $570 million to $650 million in 2007, has served as an important source of income for the foundation over the past 36 years. The most recent tax records show the foundation earned $4.5 million from rents in 2007.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rents collected from the building help fund the centers and other ventures, such as sending educational literature to imprisoned Muslims in the U.S. The foundation has also invested in dozens of mosques around the country and supported Iranian academics at prominent universities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If federal prosecutors seize the skyscraper, the Alavi Foundation would have almost no way to continue supporting the Islamic centers, which house schools and mosques. That could leave a major void in Shiite communities, and hard feelings toward the FBI.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The forfeiture action comes at a tense moment in U.S.-Iranian relations, with the two sides at odds over Iran's nuclear program and its arrest of three American hikers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Michael Rubin, an expert on Iran at the American Enterprise Institute, said the timing of the forfeiture action was probably a coincidence, not an effort to influence Iran on those issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Suspicion about the Alavi Foundation transcends three administrations," Rubin said. "It's taken ages dealing with the nuts and bolts of the investigation. It's not the type of investigation which is part of any larger strategy."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5gbxo2Woz_Bn0ZQL3dUDACHmRKVdQD9BU9F7O0"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6301272523737228808?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6301272523737228808/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6301272523737228808' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6301272523737228808'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6301272523737228808'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/feds-move-to-seize-4-us-mosques-tower.html' title='Feds Move to Seize 4 US Mosques, Tower Linked to Iran'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvychPqLIoI/AAAAAAAABvM/CwM546ZsPBo/s72-c/FBI.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-2738792536026805847</id><published>2009-11-12T13:22:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T15:27:21.530-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorist attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Muslims'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><title type='text'>MA: Muslims Pack Courtroon in Support of Alleged Islamic Terrorist</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvyBv_1WQ6I/AAAAAAAABvE/9OBxy9jVjKM/s1600-h/Tarek+Mehanna+Boston.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 120px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvyBv_1WQ6I/AAAAAAAABvE/9OBxy9jVjKM/s320/Tarek+Mehanna+Boston.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403336314526778274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as Muslims turned in massive support for the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/michigan-100s-mourn-imam-of-hate.html"target="_blank"&gt;Detroit Imam who was shot dead by the FBI,&lt;/a&gt; they have packed the courtroom in support of an American Muslim accused of wanting to &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/boston-muslims-planned-to-open-fire-on.html"target="_blank"&gt;open fire on mall shoppers.&lt;/a&gt; They stick together, while we fight amongst ourselves over whether there really is an Islamic threat or not.

Sorokin took the matter under advisement and will issue a decision about whether Tarek Mehanna, 27, should be released on bail at a later date.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The hearing drew supporters from all over New England and ranged from close friends of the accused terror suspect to people who read about Mehanna’s plight on a Web site launched by his brother,&lt;/strong&gt; Tamer, on freetarek.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I know him. He’s a very nice guy. He’s my best brother,” said Arben Xhemalallari, of Worcester, who brought his daughter, Madinah, 8, to court. The little girl is a student of Mehanna’s at the Worcester Islamic Center.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I disagree with everything I’ve read about him,” said Xhemalallari, who took off from his job at Table Top Pies to go to court. “I will find time for him because that’s how much I love him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mehanna and co-defendant Ahmad Abousmra, 28, are accused of plotting with an associate to attack shopping malls and assassinate two unidentified government officials. The associate cooperated with the government’s probe into Mehanna and Abousmra, who lives in Syria.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mehanna and Abousmra, each face a 10-count indictment alleging they provided material support to terrorists, conspired to kill in a foreign country and lied to federal investigators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Defense attorney J.W. Carney Jr., said federal investigators charged Mehanna after he repeatedly refused requests from the FBI to become an informant. He told Mehanna’s supporters he’d never seen such a showing outpouring for a client.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“They wanted him to become an informant but he wouldn’t,” said Carney.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Prosecutors have portrayed Mehanna, a trained pharmacist, as an extremist who reveled in the death of American soldiers overseas and once expressed that “Texas BBQ” was a better way to handle a rape allegation against an American soldier than the judicial system.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/view/20091112supporters_of_sudbury_terror_suspect_pack_courtroom/srvc=home&amp;position=0"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-2738792536026805847?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/2738792536026805847/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=2738792536026805847' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2738792536026805847'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2738792536026805847'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/ma-muslims-pack-courtroon-in-support-of.html' title='MA: Muslims Pack Courtroon in Support of Alleged Islamic Terrorist'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvyBv_1WQ6I/AAAAAAAABvE/9OBxy9jVjKM/s72-c/Tarek+Mehanna+Boston.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-3520345769684154534</id><published>2009-11-12T10:25:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-12T11:50:35.487-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorist attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malik Hasan'/><title type='text'>Columnist S.

Nidal Malik Hasan, is a Muslim--the implication being that Muslims are inherently untrustworthy, &lt;strong&gt;hostile to America,&lt;/strong&gt; at odds with civilized norms of behavior or something. But if that were the case, &lt;strong&gt;incidents like this would be common, not rare. It would be absurd and dangerous to anathematize all American Muslims on the basis of one alleged murderer.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Has Steve been in a coma for the last few months? Obviously he missed all of the arrests of American Muslims and terror plots that have been broken up. This is besides that hate that is being preached against America. Here is a recent recap.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have the Islamos of NY based RevolutionMuslim.com preaching their hatred on &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/ny-muslims-us-military-blood-will-spill.html"target="_blank"&gt;the streets every week.&lt;/a&gt; The shootout with the now &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/detroit1-dead-12-sharia-loving-muslims.html"target="_blank"&gt;dead Detroit Imam who had a crew of Sharia loving Muslims,&lt;/a&gt; a US Muslim stating that &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/us-muslim-kill-homosexualsvideo.html"target="_blank"&gt;homosexuals should be killed under Sharia Law,&lt;/a&gt; Boston Muslims that were plotting to open fire on &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/boston-muslims-planned-to-open-fire-on.html"target="_blank"&gt;random mall shoppers,&lt;/a&gt;, and there was also three other Islamic terror plots &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/09/3-islamic-terror-plots-in-1-day-where.html"target="_blank"&gt;uncovered in one day here in America.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Are these actions not hostile to America Steve? Try and pay attention.&lt;br /&gt;On top of his ignorance, Steve has the nerve to imply that the non-Muslim soldiers might have driven Hasan to turn into an Islamic terrorist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may be that Hasan subscribed to a jihadist ideology that drove him to kill his fellow soldiers. But it could be that Islam is just a distraction from more fundamental problems, such as insanity or just plain viciousness. Hasan reportedly complained of being harassed by his colleagues about his religion. &lt;strong&gt;Maybe he didn't think Islam was hostile to America; maybe they convinced him that America is hostile to Islam.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Islamic victim card is pretty pathetic and part of the reason that the problems that stem from Islam are &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/09/think-911-sized-attack-cant-happen.html"target="_blank"&gt;now in our backyard.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his closing paragraph Steve goes into the full defense mode for Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;In any movement, religious or political, there are a few dangerous people. As a rule, all that proves about the movement in question is that it is composed of human beings. &lt;strong&gt;If it turns out Hasan is guilty, Islam is not the problem with him&lt;/strong&gt; any more than Jodie Foster was the problem with John Hinckley.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please point out any other religious or political movement that is causing problems across the world, like Islam is. You cannot Mr. Chapman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His last sentence is some statement. So all of those &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/us-aware-of-hasan-efforts-to-contact-al.html"target="_blank"&gt;Islamic warning signs,&lt;/a&gt; that have come to light have nothing to do with Islam?

He said Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip, had refused to cooperate with election workers, making it impossible to hold the Jan. 24 election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"We planned to go to Gaza to figure out how we can conduct elections there," Nasser said. "In the meantime, we received an answer from Hamas that we are not welcome in Gaza. It is clear now that we cannot hold an election in Gaza."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nasser did not propose a new date for the balloting, in effect recommending that the election be postponed indefinitely.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Palestinians have been divided between two governments since Hamas violently seized control of Gaza in 2007 from Abbas' Fatah movement. Abbas' Western-backed government controls only the West Bank. The Palestinians hope to establish an independent state in both territories, located on opposite sides of Israel, with east Jerusalem as their capital.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abbas set the election last month after the latest round of reconciliation efforts with Hamas failed. &lt;strong&gt;Hamas has repeatedly said it would not cooperate with the vote.In Gaza, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri said his group opposed the election because it was declared unilaterally by one side. "Without reconciliation, there will be no election."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abbas must still approve the commission's recommendation. But if he does, he will likely remain in office indefinitely. Abbas was in neighboring Jordan on Thursday and did not immediately comment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"President Abbas will make the appropriate decision after he returns," said his spokesman, Nabil Abu Rdeneh. &lt;strong&gt;"Hamas' decision to ban the election commission from working in Gaza proves that Hamas is not eager to reach national unity and reconciliation."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091112/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_palestinians_election"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-4049693785130626812?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/4049693785130626812/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=4049693785130626812' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4049693785130626812'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4049693785130626812'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/palestinians-recommend-calling-off.html' title='Palestinians Recommend Calling off Upcoming Vote'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvxNHT2qhwI/AAAAAAAABu0/xik-tbf-2Rc/s72-c/Abbas.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-5281351185358928340</id><published>2009-11-11T21:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T21:36:58.817-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='war on terror'/><title type='text'>Afghan: US Envoy Objects to Troop Increase</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Svues9CbF4I/AAAAAAAABus/BuV0HPL6Iw0/s1600-h/Karl+Eikenberry.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 112px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Svues9CbF4I/AAAAAAAABus/BuV0HPL6Iw0/s320/Karl+Eikenberry.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5403086673097201538" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First Obama and the impotent Pentagon impose &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/09/general-mcchrystal-sides-with-afghans.html"target="_blank"&gt;new Rules of Engagement (ROE)&lt;/a&gt; that favor the enemy.

Does our government or Pentagon actually care about our brave soldiers? Apparently not.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;US envoy objects to troop increase&lt;br /&gt;By ANNE GEARAN&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON – &lt;strong&gt;The U.S. envoy in Afghanistan, a former Army general who once commanded troops in the country, has objected strongly to emerging plans to send tens of thousands of additional forces to the country, a senior U.S. official said Wednesday.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ambassador Karl Eikenberry resigned his Army commission to take the job as U.S. &lt;br /&gt;ambassador in Kabul earlier this year, and his is an influential voice among those advising President Barack Obama on Afghanistan. Eikenberry sent multiple classified cables to Washington over the past week that question the wisdom of adding forces when the Afghan political situation is unstable and uncertain, said an official familiar with the cables. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal administration deliberations and the classified documents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cables are diplomatic messages that may or may not be classified and carry greater heft than other forms of communication such as e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eikenberry made the point that the administration should step cautiously in planning for any troop buildup while there are still so many questions surrounding Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the official said. Eikenberry is the front line U.S. official dealing with Karzai, the U.S.-backed leader whose administration was stained by corruption and mismanagement. It was a visiting senior senator, Democrat John Kerry of Massachusetts, who was instrumental in persuading Karzai last month to accept the findings of a U.N. panel that his re-election vote in August was too marred by fraud to stand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karzai agreed to a second round of voting but was elevated to a second term as president without a runoff election when his challenger dropped out. Since then, U.S. officials have been alarmed at some of Karzai's remarks and the lack, so far, of meaningful steps to clean house.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eikenberry's objections were a wild card in the midst of what had appeared to be the final days of Obama's long decision-making process on how to revamp U.S. strategy in the 8-year war. Eikenberry has participated in some of Obama's war council sessions over the past several weeks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A senior U.S. official told The Associated Press that Obama rejected all four options presented to him at what had been expected to be the last of those sessions Wednesday. Those options started from the premise that some addition of U.S. forces is necessary, and included ways that Obama could meet or nearly meet war commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal's preference for about 40,000 additional troops.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091112/ap_on_go_pr_wh/us_us_afghanistan_ambassador"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-5281351185358928340?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/5281351185358928340/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=5281351185358928340' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5281351185358928340'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5281351185358928340'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/afghan-us-envoy-objects-to-troop.html' title='Afghan: US Envoy Objects to Troop Increase'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Svues9CbF4I/AAAAAAAABus/BuV0HPL6Iw0/s72-c/Karl+Eikenberry.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-7484387342372817550</id><published>2009-11-10T18:49:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-11T21:29:37.866-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pat Robertson'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><title type='text'>Pat Robertson: Islam is Violent Political System~Video</title><content type='html'>Pat Robertson speaks of the Fort Hood attack and unlike our &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-no-faith-justifies-these.html"target="_blank"&gt;lying Obama,&lt;/a&gt;

Military, law enforcement and intelligence agencies are all defending themselves against tough questions about what each of them knew about Hasan before he allegedly opened fire in a crowded room at the huge military base in Texas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thirteen people were killed and 29 wounded. Hasan, awake and talking to doctors, met his lawyer Monday in the San Antonio hospital where he is recovering, under guard, from gunshot wounds in the assault.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigators still believe Hasan acted alone, despite his communications with the Anwar al-Awlaki, an imam released from a Yemeni jail last year who has used his personal Web site to encourage Muslims across the world to kill U.S. troops in Iraq. Despite that, no formal investigation was opened into Hasan, they said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Investigative officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the case.

Pete Hoekstra of Michigan, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said it was his understanding Hasan and the imam exchanged e-mails that counterterrorism officials picked up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Officials said Hasan will be tried in a military court, not a civilian one, a choice that suggests his alleged actions are not thought to have emanated from a terrorist organization.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091110/ap_on_go_ca_st_pe/us_fort_hood_shooting"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-7584543518798527748?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/7584543518798527748/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=7584543518798527748' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7584543518798527748'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/7584543518798527748'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/dod-worker-assessed-fort-hood-suspect.html' title='DOD Worker Assessed Fort Hood Suspect Months ago'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvntOVrZ3ZI/AAAAAAAABuM/VXqPbkqYh5I/s72-c/DOD.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-2141222666681857576</id><published>2009-11-10T13:13:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-10T13:45:05.655-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorist attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malik Hasan'/><title type='text'>Obama: "No Faith Justifies These Murderous and Craven Acts...."</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvneI0AtlzI/AAAAAAAABuE/XQB3Gp8QNHA/s1600-h/Obama+mean.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 128px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvneI0AtlzI/AAAAAAAABuE/XQB3Gp8QNHA/s320/Obama+mean.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402593470989571890" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The lies from our so called leaders in &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-conversation-with-sen-lindsey-graham.html"target="_blank"&gt;regards to the Islamic terrorist attack on Fort Hood continue.&lt;/a&gt; Today &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/06/lies-in-obamas-speech-exposed.html"target="_blank"&gt;Islam loving Obama,&lt;/a&gt; states that "No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor," &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama, did you happen to miss these sections of the Islamic scriptures?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From the Koran.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/008.qmt.html"target="_blank"&gt;008.012&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUSUFALI: Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: &lt;strong&gt;I will instil terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them."&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/008.qmt.html"target="_blank"&gt;008.013&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUSUFALI: &lt;strong&gt;This because they contended against Allah and His Messenger: If any contend against Allah and His Messenger, Allah is strict in punishment.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/quran/008.qmt.html"target="_blank"&gt;008.060&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;YUSUFALI: Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power, &lt;strong&gt;including steeds of war, to strike terror into (the hearts of) the enemies, of Allah and your enemies, and others besides,&lt;/strong&gt; whom ye may not know, but whom Allah doth know.

What is the best deed?" He replied, "To offer the prayers at their early stated fixed times." I asked, "What is next in goodness?" He replied, "To be good and dutiful to your parents." I further asked, what is next in goodness?" He replied, &lt;strong&gt;"To participate in Jihad in Allah's Cause."&lt;/strong&gt; I did not ask Allah's Apostle anymore and if I had asked him more, he would have told me more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/bukhari/052.sbt.html"target="_blank"&gt;Volume 4, Book 52, Number 50:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Narrated Anas bin Malik:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Prophet said, &lt;strong&gt;"A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the forenoon or in the afternoon is better than the world and whatever is in it."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama salutes Fort Hood victims, condemns murders&lt;br /&gt;By BEN FELLER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FORT HOOD, Texas – One by one, President Barack Obama spoke the names and told the stories Tuesday of the 13 people slain in the Fort Hood shooting rampage, honoring their memories as he denounced the "twisted logic" that led to their deaths.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"No faith justifies these murderous and craven acts; no just and loving God looks upon them with favor," Obama told the crowd on a steamy Texas afternoon. "And for what he has done, we know that the killer will be met with justice — in this world and the next."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He did not name Maj. Nidal Hasan,&lt;/strong&gt; the military psychiatrist accused of the killings. As for the victims and the soldiers who rushed to help them, Obama said, "We need not look to the past for greatness, because it is before our very eyes." He spoke at a memorial service before a crowd estimated at 15,000 on this enormous Army post.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_obama_fort_hood"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-2141222666681857576?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/2141222666681857576/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=2141222666681857576' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2141222666681857576'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2141222666681857576'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-no-faith-justifies-these.html' title='Obama: &quot;No Faith Justifies These Murderous and Craven Acts....&quot;'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvneI0AtlzI/AAAAAAAABuE/XQB3Gp8QNHA/s72-c/Obama+mean.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-2903181567972063145</id><published>2009-11-10T09:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-10T10:58:50.609-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Lindsey Graham'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ignorant PC politcians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malik Hasan'/><title type='text'>My Conversation With a Sen. Lindsey Graham Staff Member</title><content type='html'>This morning I put a call into the Washington office of &lt;a href="http://lgraham.senate.gov/public/"target="_blank"&gt;(R-SC) Senator L. Graham.&lt;/a&gt; I called in regards to his statement that the Fort Hood attack had nothing to do with Islam or the war. Which can be seen here.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P6lHwHe4TjQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/P6lHwHe4TjQ&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is how the short conversation took place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Hi my name is Chris and I am run a website called Islam in Action. I am calling in regards to the Senator's TV statement that the Fort Hood attack had nothing to do with Islam or the war. How did he come up with this statement, when the evidence clearly shows us otherwise? I can read off plenty of &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/ny-muslims-us-military-blood-will-spill.html"target="_blank"&gt;Koran quotes which show that this act was in accordance with Islam.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff member: What show was this on?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: Face the Nation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff member: He must of said this before an evidence came to light.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: On November 5Th, a colleague of Malik Hasan named Terry Lee told Fox News that Hasan had made the following statement, &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/fort-hood-shooter-maybe-muslims-could.html"target="_blank"&gt;"maybe the Muslims could stand up and fight against the aggressor".&lt;/a&gt; That is a clear statement of being against the war and in support of Islam. The Senator made his statement on the 8Th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff member: Well, I don't know what to tell you there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: That is your answer? That is the best you can come up with? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then there were several seconds of silence on the phone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staff member: Maybe he was trying to protect the Muslims that are still serving against a backlash.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CL: How nice, how come the Senator or anybody else didn't bother to protect the non-Muslim soldiers from Hasan after knowing that Hasan was a threat for months? Why is it that everyone bends over in a politically correct effort to make sure that Muslim are not offended? When do non-Muslims stand up for each other? Our #1 policy in this war is not to offend the Muslims. These are the same policies that are sinking the UK in regards to Islam. So why are we following them?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a sigh from him and long silent break of at least 8 or 9 seconds, I said thanks for having no real answers, have a good day. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see many of our so called leaders are gutless, we are in a world of trouble my friends.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-2903181567972063145?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/2903181567972063145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=2903181567972063145' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2903181567972063145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2903181567972063145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/my-conversation-with-sen-lindsey-graham.html' title='My Conversation With a Sen.

The first move is to &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/end-muslim-immigration-mondays.html"target="_blank"&gt;demand an end to Muslim immigration&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Lebanon's Hariri forms unity government with Hezbollah&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Nadim Ladki&lt;br /&gt;BEIRUT (Reuters) - &lt;strong&gt;Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri formed a new unity government on Monday that includes two ministers from Syrian- and Iranian-backed Hezbollah.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lebanon has been without a functioning government since Hariri led his coalition, backed by the United States and Saudi Arabia, to victory in a June parliamentary election against Hezbollah and its allies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A government acceptable to all main parties is seen as key to maintaining stability in a country facing sectarian and political tensions, as well as a huge debt burden.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Finally, the government of national concord has been born," Hariri told reporters after agreeing the cabinet at a meeting with President Michel Suleiman at the presidential palace in Baabda on the outskirts of Beirut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We have turned a page that we don't want to go back to and opened a new page that we strive to make a page of concord and work," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner welcomed the formation of the Lebanese government and pledged the former colonial power's support for Hariri.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The formation of a new government was necessary to resolve the conflict that Lebanon was facing, to assure the security and stability of the country...," Kouchner said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He urged the new government to push through economic reforms demanded by donors and implement U.N. Resolution 1701 that ended a 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also welcomed the formation of a new government and called on it "to recommit to the full implementation of Security Council resolution 1701."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The secretary-general hopes that Lebanese political leaders will continue to work together in a spirit of unity, dialogue and cooperation," his spokeswoman said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hariri spent more than four months brokering a deal with the opposition. &lt;strong&gt;A warming of ties between the two sides' main backers Syria and Saudi Arabia in recent weeks helped ease the rift in Beirut and led eventually to a power-sharing agreement.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The new 30-minister cabinet includes 15 ministers from Hariri's coalition, 10 from the opposition including two Hezbollah ministers, and five, including the key interior and defense portfolios, were nominated by President Suleiman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The president's ministers in theory hold the balance of power in cabinet, with the Hariri coalition unable to gain a simple majority and the minority unable to block key decisions as they do not hold a third plus one votes in government.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.reuters.com/article/newsMaps/idUSTRE5A84B620091109"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-3978516200926738204?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/3978516200926738204/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=3978516200926738204' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3978516200926738204'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3978516200926738204'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/lebanons-hariri-forms-unity-government.html' title='Lebanon&apos;s Hariri Forms Unity Government with Hezbollah'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Svmf86HAmtI/AAAAAAAABt8/NDCyKLafTBw/s72-c/Hezbollah+flag+on+tank.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-8571339245509563333</id><published>2009-11-09T20:19:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T20:36:04.828-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='OIC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sudan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Iran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Turkey'/><title type='text'>Iran and Turkey Foster Relations at Islam Summit</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvjtnmSjKbI/AAAAAAAABt0/l6OKjtR6aXQ/s1600-h/Flag-Pins-Turkey-Iran.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvjtnmSjKbI/AAAAAAAABt0/l6OKjtR6aXQ/s320/Flag-Pins-Turkey-Iran.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402329017579940274" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While non-Muslims are arguing amongst ourselves over if there really is an Islamic threat, Iran with their &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/09/iran-assembly-approves-most-of-hard.html"target="_blank"&gt;hard line cabinet,&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/turkey-pm-my-country-needs-to-have-more.html"target="_blank"&gt;anti-Israel Turkish government,&lt;/a&gt; are joining hands in unity.

Police said she was pressured into the union because her mother and stepfather thought she was going to be sexually active with a boy her age.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the bride’s stepfather arranged the “marriage,” according to court records, other relatives frowned upon the union and told police in late August. The relatives also took the girl to protect her from further sexual abuse, according to court records.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A relative told police that Mosby called and threatened violence if family members didn’t “give me back my wife in 72 hours,” according to court records. Two days later, on Sept. 9, someone fired three shots into the Kansas City home of the girl’s aunt. No one was hit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police arrested Mosby on Saturday for his alleged sexual relationship with the teenager. Jackson County prosecutors on Sunday filed one count of statutory rape. A judge set a $100,000 cash-only bond.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police said the girl’s stepfather and mother became concerned that she was going to become sexually active, so the stepfather allegedly approached Mosby about marrying the girl. The girl was “strongly encouraged” to wed Mosby, police said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The stepfather, Mosby and the teen had several “sit downs” before the stepfather arranged for a religious ceremony on Aug. 4 at her home, not far from the stepfather’s mosque.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Two members of the mosque attended, but the bride “was not allowed to be present,” court records said. She waited in her room upstairs. Her stepfather allegedly came upstairs after the ceremony, which consisted of prayers and a contract signing, to announce that she was married.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police say they have the “marriage contract” with the signatures of Mosby, the girl and the stepfather.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The contract also notes the dowry the girl requested from Mosby — a watch and ring, which he told police he bought at Wal-Mart.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Court records said the couple had sex three times in August in her home, while her mother and stepfather were home. The girl did not move in with Mosby. She stayed with her parents and kept in touch with Mosby through phone calls and text messages.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Islam, boys and girls are considered adults based on when they hit puberty, and people in some parts of the world do marry young, said Mahnaz Shabbir of Stilwell, a past president of the Heartland Muslim Council.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.kansascity.com/105/story/1557578.html"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6465633759105973900?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6465633759105973900/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6465633759105973900' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6465633759105973900'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6465633759105973900'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/kc-convert-to-islam-marries-14-year-old.html' title='KC Convert to Islam Marries 14 Year-old Girl'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SviewVwNfTI/AAAAAAAABtc/eEbmZmEkxIM/s72-c/mohammed-and-aisha.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-7510822946589232709</id><published>2009-11-09T10:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-09T14:53:10.627-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='US soldiers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='CIA'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Malik Hasan'/><title type='text'>U.S. Aware of Hasan Efforts to Contact al Qaeda</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvhiuFtDBUI/AAAAAAAABtU/So5tQlXnUps/s1600-h/System+failure.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 127px; height: 77px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvhiuFtDBUI/AAAAAAAABtU/So5tQlXnUps/s320/System+failure.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402176296975533378" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More distrubing news on just how much US officials actually knew about the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/fort-hood-killer-infidels-should-have.html"target="_blank"&gt;Fort Hood terrorist Malik Hassan.&lt;/a&gt; The finger pointing has started, but the bottom line is that no one had the guts to do the right thing and discharge Hasan.

Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, said that he requested the CIA and other intelligence agencies brief the committee on what was known, if anything, about Hasan by the U.S. intelligence community, only to be refused.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In response, Hoekstra issued a document preservation request to four intelligence agencies. The letter, dated November 7th, was sent to directors Dennis Blair (DNI), Robert Mueller (FBI), Lt. Gen Keith Alexander (NSA) and Leon Panetta (CIA).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hoekstra said he is "absolutely furious" that the house intel committee has been refused an intelligence briefing by the DNI or CIA on Hasan's attempt to reach out to al Qaeda,&lt;/strong&gt; as first reported by ABC News.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is a law enforcement investigation, in which other agencies—not the CIA—have the lead," CIA spokesman Paul Gimigliano said in a response to ABC News.

It is our &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/03/demoting-islams-religion-status.html"target="_blank"&gt;Trojan Horse.&lt;/a&gt; Let us remember that this tragic event is not the only problem that Islam has recently brought to our great country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We have the Islamos of NY based RevolutionMuslim.com preaching their hatred on &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/ny-muslims-us-military-blood-will-spill.html"target="_blank"&gt;the streets every week.&lt;/a&gt; The shootout with the now &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/detroit1-dead-12-sharia-loving-muslims.html"target="_blank"&gt;dead Detroit Imam who had a crew of Sharia loving Muslims,&lt;/a&gt; a US Muslim stating that &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/us-muslim-kill-homosexualsvideo.html"target="_blank"&gt;homosexuals should be killed under Sharia Law,&lt;/a&gt; Boston Muslims that were plotting to open fire on &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/boston-muslims-planned-to-open-fire-on.html"target="_blank"&gt;random mall shoppers,&lt;/a&gt;, and there was also three other Islamic terror plots &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/09/3-islamic-terror-plots-in-1-day-where.html"target="_blank"&gt;uncovered in one day here in America.&lt;/a&gt; Please remember that this is all just some of the most recent problems with Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is besides the fact that the Christian Action Network has clearly documented that there are at least &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/09/think-911-sized-attack-cant-happen.html"target="_blank"&gt;35 Islamic terror training camps here already.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While it is very possible that not all of the Muslims involved in these actions came here through immigration, common sense tells that more Muslims being allowed to come here will lead to an increase in terror plots against us and our families. I am urging all readers to think of the safety of their loved ones and the future of America. It is time to stop worrying if Muslims are offended and contact your local representatives and demand the end of Muslim immigration. Our families future and safety depends on us being strong now.

Those that stayed silent have blood on their hands.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Fort Hood gunman had told US military colleagues that infidels should have their throats cut&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Major Nidal Malik Hasan, the gunman who killed 13 at America's Fort Hood military base, once gave a lecture to other doctors in which he said non-believers should be beheaded and have boiling oil poured down their throats.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Nick Allen in Fort Hood &lt;br /&gt;08 Nov 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He also told colleagues at America's top military hospital that non-Muslims were infidels condemned to hell who should be set on fire.&lt;/strong&gt; The outburst came during an hour-long talk Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, gave on the Koran in front of dozens of other doctors at Walter Reed Army Medical Centre in Washington DC, where he worked for six years before arriving at Fort Hood in July.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Colleagues had expected a discussion on a medical issue but were instead given an extremist interpretation of the Koran, which Hasan appeared to believe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was the latest in a series of "red flags" about his state of mind that have emerged since the massacre at Fort Hood, America's largest military installation, on Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hasan, armed with two handguns including a semi-automatic pistol, walked into a processing centre for soldiers deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan, where he killed 13 and injured more than 30.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fellow doctors have recounted how they were repeatedly harangued by Hasan about religion and that he openly claimed to be a "Muslim first and American second."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;One Army doctor who knew him said a fear of appearing discriminatory against a Muslim soldier had stopped fellow officers from filing formal complaints.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another, Dr Val Finnell, who took a course with him in 2007 at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences in Maryland, did complain about Hasan's "anti-American rants." He said: "The system is not doing what it's supposed to do. He at least should have been confronted about these beliefs, told to cease and desist, and to shape up or ship out. I really questioned his loyalty."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Selena Coppa, an activist for Iraq Veterans Against the War, said: "This man was a psychiatrist and was working with other psychiatrists every day and they failed to notice how deeply disturbed someone right in their midst was."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of Hasan's neighbours described how on the day of the massacre, about 9am, he gave her a Koran and told her: &lt;strong&gt;"I'm going to do good work for God"&lt;/strong&gt; before leaving for the base.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6526030/Fort-Hood-gunman-had-told-US-military-colleagues-that-infidels-should-have-their-throats-cut.html"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-5782478691499799479?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/5782478691499799479/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=5782478691499799479' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5782478691499799479'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5782478691499799479'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/fort-hood-killer-infidels-should-have.html' title='Fort Hood Killer: Infidels Should Have Their Throats cut'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Svd1dIjm-NI/AAAAAAAABs0/za_61-6hKks/s72-c/Malik+Hasan.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-4975449382672212397</id><published>2009-11-08T16:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-08T16:58:05.831-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Casey'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><title type='text'>Army Chief Concerned for Muslim Troops</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvdnEXvJ7vI/AAAAAAAABsg/FUtl-jIBXt8/s1600-h/Casey+new.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 113px; height: 141px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvdnEXvJ7vI/AAAAAAAABsg/FUtl-jIBXt8/s320/Casey+new.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401899602843135730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Casey who in another article posted here today said that the Fort Hood attack &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/gen-casey-fort-hood-attack-might-be.html"target="_blank"&gt;&lt;em&gt;might&lt;/em&gt; be terrorism,&lt;/a&gt; has once again bowed down to Islam. He has stated that he is concerned for the Muslims troops. How politically correct George. Did you or anyone else in charge, have any concerns for our non-Muslims troops after all the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/fort-hood-shooter-maybe-muslims-could.html"target="_blank"&gt;warning signs came out about Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan?&lt;/a&gt; Our brave soldiers died because of politically correct policies. Absolutely pathetic.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Army Chief Concerned for Muslim Troops&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By JOSEPH BERGER&lt;br /&gt;Published: November 8, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General George Casey Jr., the Army chief of staff, said on Sunday that he was concerned that speculation about the religious beliefs of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, accused of killing 12 fellow soldiers and one civilian and wounding dozens of others in a shooting rampage at Fort Hood, &lt;strong&gt;could “cause a backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“I’ve asked our Army leaders to be on the lookout for that,” General Casey said in an interview on CNN’s “State of the Union. “It would be a shame — as great a tragedy as this was — it would be a shame if our diversity became a casualty as well.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Casey, who was appeared on three Sunday news programs, used almost the same language during an interview on ABC’s “This Week With George Stephanopoulos,” an indication of the Army’s effort to ward off bias against the more than 3,000 Muslims in its ranks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“A diverse Army gives us strength,” General Casey, who visited Fort Hood Friday, said on “This Week.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At a news conference in Fort Hood, near Killeen, Tex., the Army announced that 16 of the wounded remained hospitalized, with seven in intensive care. Major Hasan, who was shot by a base police officer, was listed in stable but critical condition.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The major, a 39-year-old psychiatrist, is the American-born son of Palestinian immigrants. He vocally opposed the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and seems to have moved toward more extreme religious beliefs in recent years, according to the investigators.&lt;/strong&gt; Investigators have tentatively concluded that he acted alone and was not part of a terrorist plot.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” labeled the shooting spree “the most destructive terrorist act to be committed on American soil since 9/11” and said that as chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee he intended to investigate Major Hasan’s suspected motives and whether the Army “missed warning signs that should have led them to essentially discharge him.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have zero tolerance,” Senator Lieberman said. “He should have been gone.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked whether he thought the Army “dropped the ball” in not responding to warning signs that the major was increasingly radical, General Casey replied that he was encouraging soldiers to provide information to criminal investigators. But he added that the Army needs to be careful not to jump to conclusions based on early tidbits of information.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The speculation could heighten the backlash,” he said on “This Week.” “What happened at Fort Hood is a tragedy and I believe it would be a greater tragedy if diversity became a casualty here.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican of South Carolina, and Sen. Jack Reed, a Democrat of Rhode Island, took also pains on Sunday to say that Muslims have served honorably in the military and at risk to their lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“At the end of the day this is not about his religion — the fact that this man was a Muslim,” Senator Graham said on CBS’s “Face the Nation.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Senator, so Hasan being a Muslim and not wanting to go fight against other Muslims has nothing to do with Islam.

The problem is that you are either lacking the knowledge or guts to actually call it what it is, Islamic terrorism. You have now joined ranks with &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/general-mcchrystal-afghans-tell-us-when.html"target="_blank"&gt;Clueless McChrystal.&lt;/a&gt; With "leaders' like this, we will never win this war. Our brave troops deserve so much better.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Ft. Hood: Gen. Casey Doesn't Rule Out Terrorism&lt;br /&gt;November 08, 2009 9:42 AM&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Army’s top officer, General George Casey wouldn’t rule out the possibility that the mass killing at Ft. Hood was an act of terrorism. I asked General Casey about warning signs that could have been acted upon and if this was a premeditated act of terrorism or if this is a case of someone who just snapped. &lt;strong&gt;Casey said, “I think we need to be very careful here on speculations based on anecdotes like that.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We all want to know what happened and what motivated the suspect, but I think we need to be very, very careful here in these early days and let the investigation take its course,” Casey told me on ‘This Week.’&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;General Casey told me on This Week that he’s worried that diversity could become another victim of Thursday’s mass killing at Ft. Hood. The incident was not the first case of fratricide by a Muslim and when I asked how the military plans to deal with this potential problem in its ranks, Casey said, &lt;strong&gt;“Speculation could potentially heighten backlash against some of our Muslim soldiers and what happened at Fort Hood was a tragedy, but I believe it would be an even greater tragedy if our diversity becomes a casualty here.&lt;/strong&gt; It’s not just about Muslims, we have a very diverse army, we have very diverse society and that gives us all strength. But again we need to be very careful about that.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://blogs.abcnews.com/george/2009/11/ft-hood-gen-casey-doesnt-rule-out-terrorism.html"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6684704861643476974?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6684704861643476974/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6684704861643476974' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6684704861643476974'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6684704861643476974'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/gen-casey-fort-hood-attack-might-be.html' title='Gen.

The raid on this Mosque and killing of an &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/detroit1-dead-12-sharia-loving-muslims.html"target="_blank"&gt;admitted enemy of America,&lt;/a&gt; had nothing to do with them being black or poor.

People are not buying it anymore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FBI murders Detroit Imam, targets Muslims nationally&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imam Luqman Abdullah’s mosque predominantly Black, poor&lt;br /&gt;By Diane Bukowski&lt;br /&gt;Michigan Citizen&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;DETROIT — Over 1,000 Muslims from all over the country attended the funeral of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah at the Muslim Center of Detroit on W. Davison Oct. 31. Imam Abdullah, 53, the leader of the Masjid El-Haqq mosque, was shot to death Oct. 28 in an FBI “terrorism task force” raid at a Dearborn warehouse. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Imam Luqman had faith and constantly strived to righteous deeds,” said Imam Talib Abdur-Rashid, of Harlem’s Mosque of Islamic Brotherhood, in published remarks during the funeral, “Imam Luqman had the consciousness, taqwa … I never heard him discuss any subject whatsoever, even sports, without talking about Allah.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The mosque, whose membership is primarily Black, is located in a poor Detroit neighborhood on Clairmount near Linwood. The FBI also raided two homes on Tireman and Genesee in Detroit. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Twelve members of the mosque, including the Imam’s son Mujahid Carswell, have been arrested. A federal complaint against eleven of them, unsealed the day of the raid, cites charges of dealing in stolen goods, weapons possession and sales, and mail and insurance fraud. There are no “terrorism”-related charges. It says four of the 11 previously served prison time.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Special Agent in Charge of the Detroit Division of the FBI Andrew Arena claimed that Imam Abdullah had opened fire inside the warehouse, which was returned by the FBI and other members of the task force, including the Dearborn police. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imam Abdullah shot 18 times&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imam Adullah’s family members, who washed his body for burial in the Muslim custom, said he was shot at least eighteen times. The FBI reportedly airlifted a police dog killed during the melee but accorded no medical attention to the Imam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah was known in Detroit for his many, many years of work feeding the hungry and housing the homeless. Instead of assassinating such leaders who help the people, the FBI should be raiding the bankers who are behind the growing hunger and homelessness,” said Mike Shane of the Michigan Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice (MECAWI).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MECAWI planned a demonstration against the raid in front of the McNamara Federal Building Nov. 5. In a flier, the group noted that the FBI-charged Black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey with mail fraud in the 1920s, worked with the KKK in murders and attacks on civil rights workers in the 50s and 60s, and likely orchestrated the assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. The FBI also raided, arrested and murdered Black Panther Party and American Indian Movement members in the 1960s.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In 2006, paid FBI provocateur and hate webcaster Hal Turner of New Jersey called on his audience to lynch former U.S. Congresswoman and Green Party Presidential candidate Cynthia McKinney while she was still in office. Her objections, relayed to the Justice Department, met with no response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The federal complaint against the Detroit Muslims paints Imam Abdullah as a radical advocate of the violent overthrow of the U.S. government. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It describes 10 undercover operations (UCO’s) authorized by the U.S. Justice Department against the mosque. They involved the transport and sale of goods “which the defendants believed were from out-of-state.”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All of the operations were instigated by the informants, as was the gathering at the Dearborn warehouse.

According to these Muslims, Islam was not a factor in the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/fort-hood-shooter-maybe-muslims-could.html"target="_blank"&gt;Fort Hood attack.&lt;/a&gt; My advice to the Islamic community is to stop insulting our intelligence with your obvious lies. Islam had everything to do with this cowardly attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Another attack leaves US Muslims fearing backlash&lt;br /&gt;By ERIC GORSKI, Religion Writer &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As word spread that a gunman had opened fire at Fort Hood leaving a trail of carnage, a chilling realization swept across the U.S. Muslim community: He has an Islamic name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From a professor who just testified in Congress, to a White House adviser appearing before a Jewish group and a former Marine driving home from work, &lt;strong&gt;Muslims across the country were shocked, angry and afraid that the attack would erode efforts to erase anti-Islamic stereotypes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many Islamic leaders said the Fort Hood tragedy that left 13 dead and 30 wounded including the alleged gunman, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, could likely post the sternest test for U.S. Muslims since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"A lot of us work very hard for this country, to make America a better place," said Muqtedar Khan, a progressive Muslim scholar who has just given Congressional testimony on U.S. foreign policy in Afghanistan before Thursday's attack. "And this one nut like Maj. Hasan comes along and in one crazy episode of a few seconds he undermines these years and years of hard work we are doing to make American Muslims part of the mainstream in the community."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, is a Muslim who attended his former mosque daily and had an "Allah is Love" bumper sticker on his car. Soldiers reported Friday that the shooter shouted "Allahu Akbar!" — Arabic for "God is great!" — during the rampage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Other troubling details also emerged, including reports that authorities suspect Hasan posted online messages about suicide bombers and violence, was struggling with a pending deployment to Afghanistan and was being harassed in the Army for being a Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While a motive remains unclear, the confirmation of Hasan's faith alone prompted major Muslim groups and mosques to issue statements condemning the killings as contrary to Islam and praising the service of the many Muslim Americans in the U.S. military.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of immediate concern was security at mosques Friday, Islam's main day of communal prayer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In Washington, Chicago and elsewhere, mosques asked police for extra patrols. In Garden Grove, Calif., officers stood watch outside a mosque as a precaution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslim leaders warned people to be vigilant and avoid exposing themselves unnecessarily — including walking alone, said Hussam Ayloush, director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations in Southern California.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is one of those moments where we have to sit and pray that most Americans will come out stronger, more united, and more tolerant," said Ayloush, adding that Muslim organizations have received dozens of death threats and hate e-mail.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the Muslim Community Center in Silver Spring, Md., which Hasan attended before moving to Fort Hood, &lt;strong&gt;Imam Mohamed Abdullahi urged worshippers Friday to tell their non-Muslim neighbors that Islam was not responsible for the deaths.&lt;/strong&gt; He also advised them to keep their tempers in check.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Whenever we hear the name turns out to be Arabic or Muslim we feel a double shock" about such incidents. "And then we worry about backlash," said Imam Mostafa Al-Qazwini of the Islamic Educational Center of Orange County in Costa Mesa, Calif.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;U.S. Rep. Andre Carson, an Indiana Democrat who is one of two Muslims serving in Congress, cautioned against focusing on the alleged shooter's religion&lt;/strong&gt; and instead said the discussion should be about mental health issues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is no way a reflection of Islam any more than Timothy McVeigh's actions are a reflection of Christianity," said Carson, who supervised an anti-terrorism unit in Indiana's Department of Homeland Security and comes from a family of Marines.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eboo Patel, the executive director of Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core, had just spoken at a Union of Reform Judaism conference in Toronto on Thursday night when a rabbi told him: "The guy had a Muslim name."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I had just spoken from the tradition of Islam ... on the importance of interfaith cooperation and building Muslim-Jewish bridges," said Patel, who sits on a White House faith-based advisory board. "I wish that was viewed as reflective of Islam instead of a deranged lunatic who was acting only in the tradition of deranged lunacy, not in the tradition of any faith."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But other Muslims were weary of what has become a routine: a Muslim does something unspeakable, and Islamic organizations issue statements condemning it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Truth be told, we're getting a little exhausted because we've done this to death,"&lt;/strong&gt; said Robert Salaam of Maryland, a former Marine who converted to Islam shortly after the 9-11 attacks and now blogs and hosts a radio show on Muslim affairs.

Adams of Stop the Islamization of America.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;November 06, 2009&lt;br /&gt;Resolving the Cognitive Dissonance of Islam&lt;br /&gt;By D.L. Adams&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The negative spiritual and intellectual consequence of believing two mutually exclusive concepts is "cognitive dissonance." Our interaction as a society with Islam is a direct cause of "cognitive dissonance" for us as individuals and as a culture. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resolution of the contradiction requires the rejection of one of the concepts as false. If we continue to ignore our cognitive dissonance about Islam the consequences are dire: we will lose our civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Islam is much more than a religion; it is a complete civilization that includes politics (caliphate), jurisprudence (Sharia law), war (jihad), and a deliberately misleading "religion of peace."&lt;/strong&gt; The doctrine of Islam is found in three books: Koran (the literal word of Allah as "revealed" to Mohammed), Sira (Mohammad's biography), and Hadith (stories about and sayings of Mohammed by contemporaries). The definitive text of Sharia law is "Reliance of the Traveller." Allah and Mohammed are to be obeyed, not questioned. "Islam" means "submission;" a Muslim is "one who submits." "Islam" does not mean "peace."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.americanthinker.com/2009/11/resolving_the_cognitive_disson.html"target="_blank"&gt;For The Rest&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-5904231593424406424?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/5904231593424406424/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=5904231593424406424' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5904231593424406424'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5904231593424406424'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/resolving-cognitive-dissonance-of-islam.html' title='Resolving the Cognitive Dissonance of Islam'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvS40qWye-I/AAAAAAAABrg/3FidAe0qRBA/s72-c/Stop+Islam.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-1159718653010569331</id><published>2009-11-06T14:30:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T15:18:42.203-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='US soldiers'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Victim card'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Mosques'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><title type='text'>Chicago Area Mosques Play Victim Card After Islamic Terror Attack on Fort Hood</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvStGL3puxI/AAAAAAAABrY/gHlGhDDNyFg/s1600-h/Islamic+crescent+new.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 99px; height: 127px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvStGL3puxI/AAAAAAAABrY/gHlGhDDNyFg/s320/Islamic+crescent+new.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401132174901099282" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just this morning we read about Muslims at Fort Meyers playing the usual &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/islamic-center-for-peace-in-fort-myers.html"target="_blank"&gt;Islamic victim card.&lt;/a&gt; Of course other Muslims have followed their lead. This time Muslims of Chicago are looking to get the focus of non-Muslims, off of the Islamic attack and on to the security of them. Never let them take our focus off of the threat of Islam!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the Mosques in the Chicago is the Bridgeview Mosque. Here is a little back round information on them. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;A plea from Bridgeview to a Saudi charity asked for money &lt;strong&gt;"before it becomes too late and we may lose our children because they are living in an unIslamic society." One mosque fundraising brochure warned that Chicago's Muslims were at risk of "melting in the American society, culture and lifestyle."&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Sermons are in Arabic and claim authentic interpretations of the Koran along with following strict Islamic rule.&lt;/strong&gt; Jamal Said mixes eloquent sermons with ardent pleas to help oppressed Muslims. As prayer leader, he preached that America was a land of disbelievers, where families were not valued. Some of the sheik's edicts include: don't celebrate Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving because those were not Islamic holidays. &lt;a href="http://conservapedia.com/Jamal_Said"target="_blank"&gt;Don't listen to contemporary music. Women should not travel long distances without chaperons. Those that criticize mosque leaders to outsiders are "hypocrites".&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously a Mosque of the enemy, which means that they do not deserve to have one-cent of our money spent on them for special treatment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hat tip to dm60462.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Mosques boost security after killings&lt;br /&gt;November 6, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mosques across the Chicago area are increasing security and asking Muslims to be vigilant for fear of retaliation following the Fort Hood shootings.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suspect is a Muslim who’s accused of opening fire on fellow soldiers in a rampage that left 13 people dead and dozens injured.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Islamic Society of Northwest Suburbs of Chicago has sent e-mails asking Muslims to be more careful, especially on Friday, the day Muslims hold communal prayers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Mosque Foundation president in Bridgeview says he’s called police to put them on high alert. &lt;strong&gt;Zaher Sahloul says he fears something could be done to Muslims because of “misguided anger.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Council of Islamic Organizations of Greater Chicago has instructed imams to address Thursday’s shooting and talk generally about violence in America.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.southtownstar.com/news/1869235,Muslims-alert-Fort-Hood-1106.article"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-1159718653010569331?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/1159718653010569331/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=1159718653010569331' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/1159718653010569331'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/1159718653010569331'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/chicago-area-mosques-play-victim-card.html' title='Chicago Area Mosques Play Victim Card After Islamic Terror Attack on Fort Hood'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvStGL3puxI/AAAAAAAABrY/gHlGhDDNyFg/s72-c/Islamic+crescent+new.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-5332928988824728385</id><published>2009-11-06T10:04:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T10:24:07.766-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Victim card'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fort Hood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><title type='text'>Islamic Center for PEACE in Fort Myers Requests Additional Police Patrols</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvRprUBijFI/AAAAAAAABrQ/w_v5n9XdnFo/s1600-h/Crying+baby.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 120px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvRprUBijFI/AAAAAAAABrQ/w_v5n9XdnFo/s320/Crying+baby.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401058045954526290" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I knew it wouldn't be long after yesterday's horrific &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/fort-hood-shooter-maybe-muslims-could.html"target="_blank"&gt;Islamic attack at Fort Hood,&lt;/a&gt; before Muslims &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/muslims-in-massachusetts-play-victim.html"target="_blank"&gt;cried victim.&lt;/a&gt; Crying victim, even though they admit that no threats have been made against them.

Such acts of violence, especially if there were women, children or elderly who were hurt, are not condoned by Islam.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lumumba said he learned of the shootings after receiving a call from a religious leader at a different center, who also expressed concern of the safety of Muslims in their community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“We do send our condolences to all the families that lost someone from that shooting, and to the people that were injured, I pray for them that their injuries will heal,” Lumumba said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.news-press.com/article/20091106/NEWS01/91106023/1075"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-5332928988824728385?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/5332928988824728385/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=5332928988824728385' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5332928988824728385'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5332928988824728385'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/islamic-center-for-peace-in-fort-myers.html' title='Islamic Center for PEACE in Fort Myers Requests Additional Police Patrols'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvRprUBijFI/AAAAAAAABrQ/w_v5n9XdnFo/s72-c/Crying+baby.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-5614187110080494812</id><published>2009-11-06T09:00:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-06T09:36:26.874-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Younus Abdullah Muhammad'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yousef al-Khattab'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Revolution Muslim'/><title type='text'>CNN: NY Muslims Say Islam Calls for Terrorism~Video</title><content type='html'>Well, I have to say that the Islamocreeps of NY based &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/ny-muslims-to-hell-with-america-and.html"target="_blank"&gt; RevolutionMuslim.com,&lt;/a&gt; have really made a name for themselves.

Lt. Gen Bob Cone said at a news conference that one shooter has been killed and two suspects were apprehended on Thursday. He says they are all U.S. soldiers.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The shooting began around 1:30 p.m. Cone says that all the casualties took place at the base's Soldier Readiness Center where soldiers who are about to be deployed or who are returning undergo medical screening.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He says the primary shooter used two handguns in the attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5ihGepAkECGoDagETVBMpPb3w7Y3gD9BPKKK80"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-694528318356196217?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/694528318356196217/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=694528318356196217' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/694528318356196217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/694528318356196217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/army-12-die-in-dual-shootings-at-fort.html' title='Army: 12 Die in Dual Shootings at Fort Hood, Texas!'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvNSv7ZNDFI/AAAAAAAABrI/wnk03QYkuMY/s72-c/Islamic+sword+and+cresent.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-8695765390652643310</id><published>2009-11-05T11:09:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-05T11:24:29.239-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Shiites'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sunnis'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Yemen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Saudis'/><title type='text'>Saudis Bomb Yemen Rebels Across Border</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvMlhnqefqI/AAAAAAAABrA/cIzSLmQNB3w/s1600-h/Saudi+fight+plane.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 136px; height: 73px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvMlhnqefqI/AAAAAAAABrA/cIzSLmQNB3w/s320/Saudi+fight+plane.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400701637660409506" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Did the Saudis get &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2008/08/un-bans-criticism-of-islam.html"target="_blank"&gt;UN approval,&lt;/a&gt; before they took military action? Will the world condemn them for taking matters into their own hands? If Muslims want to have their civil war, let them. Not everything is our problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Saudis bomb Yemen rebels across border&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By AHMED AL-HAJ and SALAH NASRAWI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SAN'A, Yemen – &lt;strong&gt;Saudi Arabia sent fighter jets and artillery bombardments across the border into northern Yemen on Thursday in a military incursion apparently aimed at helping its troubled southern neighbor control an escalating Shiite rebellion.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Saudis — owners of a sophisticated air force they rarely use — have been increasingly worried that extremism and instability in Yemen could spill over to their country, the world's largest oil exporter. The offensive came two days after the killing of a Saudi soldier, blamed on the rebels.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yemen denied any military action by Saudi Arabia inside its borders. But Yemen's president is a key ally of the Saudis, making it highly unlikely the kingdom would have launched the offensive without tacit Yemeni agreement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The offensive immediately raised concerns of another proxy war in the Middle East between Iran and Saudi Arabia, a key U.S. ally. Shiite Iran is believed to favor the rebels in Yemen while Saudi Arabia, which is Sunni, is Iran's fiercest regional rival.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The same dynamic has played out in various forms in Lebanon, where Iran supports the Shiite militant Hezbollah and Saudi Arabia favors a U.S.-backed faction, and in Iraq, where Saudi Arabia and Iran have thrown support to conflicting sides in the Sunni-Shiite struggle.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A top Saudi government adviser confirmed "a large scale" military operation underway on the Saudi-Yemeni border with further reinforcements sent to the rugged, mountainous area.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It is a sustained operation which aims to finish this problem on our border," he said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue. He said Saudi troops were coordinating with Yemen's army, but Yemen's defense ministry denied the Saudis were inside the country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The northern rebels, known as Hawthis, have been battling Yemeni government forces the past few months in the latest flare-up of a sporadic five-year conflict. They claim their needs are ignored by a Yemeni government that is increasingly allied with hard-line Sunni fundamentalists, who consider Shiites heretics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The rebels said the Saudi airstrikes hit five areas in their northern stronghold Thursday but it was not possible to independently verify the reports. They said there were dead and wounded, and that homes were destroyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Saudi jets dropped bombs on a crowded areas including a local market in the northern province of Saada," Hawthi spokesman Mohammed Abdel-Salam told The Associated Press. "They claim they are targeting al-Hawthis, but regrettably they are killing civilians like the government does."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said the attacks were followed by hundreds of shells from the border, but there was no reliable information about casualties.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The fighting is more than 600 miles from Saudi Arabia's oil fields on the kingdom's eastern Persian Gulf coast. But northern Yemen overlooks the Red Sea, the world's busiest route for oil tankers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091105/ap_on_re_mi_ea/ml_yemen_saudi"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-8695765390652643310?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/8695765390652643310/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=8695765390652643310' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8695765390652643310'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8695765390652643310'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/saudis-bomb-yemen-rebels-across-border.html' title='Saudis Bomb Yemen Rebels Across Border'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvMlhnqefqI/AAAAAAAABrA/cIzSLmQNB3w/s72-c/Saudi+fight+plane.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-8523237130391869299</id><published>2009-11-05T10:39:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-05T10:59:46.618-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Homosexuals'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='NYC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sharia'/><title type='text'>NYC: Cabbie Boots Gay Couple</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvMf-y0DYJI/AAAAAAAABq4/Ei2NSXyuLy4/s1600-h/NYC+cab.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 143px; height: 107px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvMf-y0DYJI/AAAAAAAABq4/Ei2NSXyuLy4/s320/NYC+cab.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400695541799805074" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslims throwing &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/07/minnsomalians-verbally-abuse-and-throw.html"target="_blank"&gt;rocks at a homosexual man in Minn,&lt;/a&gt; a Muslim in Washington D.C. stating that homosexuals &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/us-muslim-kill-homosexualsvideo.html"target="_blank"&gt;should be killed under Sharia law,&lt;/a&gt; and now this.

Hugging is not allowed in here!" the driver said, according to Bruno.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stunned, the lovebirds exited and watched the taxi peel away.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I was shocked," said Bruno, 27, who called the act "discrimination against homosexuals."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The encounter took place at 10:20 p.m. after the couple attended a birthday dinner and hailed a ride to East Harlem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"To pull over after two blocks and be so blatantly intolerant is outrageous," Bruno said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He needs to exercise the rules in which he was employed a little more closely."&lt;br /&gt;Both men said they hoped other cabbies didn't share the same views on an innocent act.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I don't know if it was a personal or religious thing. But it's never OK to deny anyone a ride, especially when it's such blatant and direct discrimination," added Bruno, a lifelong city resident.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The driver could not be reached for comment yesterday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Taxi and Limousine Commission "would take such an allegation very seriously and fully investigate," said spokesman Allan Fromberg.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such a violation carries serious consequences for a cabby, sources added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be considered a "service refusal." The first offense is a $200 to $350 fine, the second a $350 to $500 fine and a 30-day suspension, and the third strike is license revocation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The TLC often conducts undercover stings looking for cabbies who reject customers for no legitimate reason.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Bruno said he and his partner immediately filed an official complaint against the driver via 311.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both men want a formal apology from the driver, and say they believe hacks should be put though more rigorous sensitivity training.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"He's in the wrong place and in the wrong line of work if he doesn't have an open and tolerant attitude,"&lt;/strong&gt; said Bruno, adding, "I've seen a lot more go on in taxis than hugging."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/manhattan/crabby_cabby_boots_same_sex_lovebirds_elzOqITxWd7Y7q2HLFiSFP#ixzz0W0nqpCJm"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-8523237130391869299?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/8523237130391869299/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=8523237130391869299' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8523237130391869299'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8523237130391869299'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/nyc-cabbie-boots-gay-couple.html' title='NYC: Cabbie Boots Gay Couple'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvMf-y0DYJI/AAAAAAAABq4/Ei2NSXyuLy4/s72-c/NYC+cab.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-5356478423965826880</id><published>2009-11-05T09:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-05T10:46:48.664-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dove World Outreach Center'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Terry Jones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rifqa Bary'/><title type='text'>Pastor Jones' Message on the Rifqa Bary Case~Video</title><content type='html'>Pastor Jones of the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/florida-arson-hits-anti-islam-display.html"target="_blank"&gt;Dove World Outreach Center,&lt;/a&gt; might just be the most outspoken US Pastor in regards to the threat of Islam and I applaud him for that.

All three have roots in the Muslim-majority country of Bangladesh, reflecting the growing Bangladeshi-American population in a city that was once known for its Polish Catholic community. Hamtramck also has Muslim residents from Bosnia and Yemen.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another Muslim candidate, Abdul Algazali, narrowly lost an election Tuesday in Hamtramck for mayor to incumbent Karen Majewski by 123 votes. Algazali, of Yemeni descent, was previously a city councilman.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miah, 30, said he moved to the United States with his parents 20 years ago to New York City and then Hamtramck 11 years ago. He remembers his parents not being able to afford new clothes for their children.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm humbled," Miah told the Free Press today. "I'm the son of immigrants. My parents still don't speak English. I didn't speak one word of English when I came here. This is what the American dream is all about. I'm living it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During the campaign, some of his critics "catered to the fear of me being a Muslim," &lt;br /&gt;Miah said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But he said his campaign was for all Hamtramck residents, not for any one particular ethnicity or religion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I may look different, but I'm as American as you are," Miah said. "I love this city and country."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I want to find things we all have in common, and not look for things that divide us," he said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Miah has been a member of various groups and commissions in Hamtramck, including a Polish-American group, he said. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I'm trying to unite people," Miah said.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20091104/NEWS15/91104028/1320/Muslims-given-strong-role-in-Hamtramck-"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-2723292158478180816?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/2723292158478180816/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=2723292158478180816' title='7 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2723292158478180816'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/2723292158478180816'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/muslims-dominate-hamtramck-city-council.html' title='Michigan: Muslims Dominate Hamtramck City Council'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvIUWK3LU-I/AAAAAAAABqY/hglN5835gyk/s72-c/u1_Muslim-image-intense+US+FLAG.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-1547818298194793389</id><published>2009-11-03T13:29:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T14:08:49.219-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crucifixes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christian persecution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christianity'/><title type='text'>Italy, Vatican in Uproar Over Court Crucifix Ruling</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvCoetLvXXI/AAAAAAAABqQ/o6028ZhLCSY/s1600-h/Italy+flag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 124px; height: 99px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvCoetLvXXI/AAAAAAAABqQ/o6028ZhLCSY/s320/Italy+flag.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5400001198695603570" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This update is Italy's reaction to the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/european-court-no-crucifixes-in-italian.html"target="_blank"&gt;"European Court: No Crucifixes in Italian Schools"&lt;/a&gt; article. Way to go guys!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Italy, Vatican in uproar over court crucifix ruling&lt;br /&gt;By Philip Pullella &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ROME (Reuters) – The European Court of Human Rights ruled on Tuesday that crucifixes should be removed from Italian classrooms, prompting Vatican anger and sparking uproar in Italy, where such icons are embedded in the national psyche.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"The ruling of the European court was received in the Vatican with shock and sadness," said Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi, adding that it was "wrong and myopic" to try to exclude a symbol of charity from education.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ruling by the court in Strasbourg, which Italy said it would appeal, said crucifixes on school walls -- a common sight that is part of every Italian's life -- could disturb children who were not Christians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Italy has been in the throes of national debate on how to deal with a growing population of immigrants, mostly Muslims, and the court sentence is likely to become another battle cry for the center-right government's policy to restrict newcomers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"This is an abhorrent ruling," said Rocco Buttiglione, a former culture minister who helped write papal encyclicals.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"It must be rejected with firmness.&lt;/strong&gt; Italy has its culture, its traditions and its history. Those who come among us must understand and accept this culture and this history," he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Vatican spokesman said it was sad that the crucifix could be considered a symbol of division and said religion offered a vital contribution to the moral formation of people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Members of Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's government bristled, weighing in with words such as "shameful," "offensive," "absurd," "unacceptable," and "pagan."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;MORTAL BLOW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Foreign Minister Franco Frattini said the court had dealt a "mortal blow to a Europe of values and rights," adding that it was a bad precedent for other countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Condemnation crossed party lines. Paola Binetti, a Catholic in the opposition Democratic Party, the successor of what was once the West's largest communist party, said: &lt;strong&gt;"In Italy, the crucifix is a specific sign of our tradition."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091103/wl_nm/us_italy_court_crucifix"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-1547818298194793389?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/1547818298194793389/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=1547818298194793389' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/1547818298194793389'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/1547818298194793389'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/italy-vatican-in-uproar-over-court.html' title='Italy, Vatican in Uproar Over Court Crucifix Ruling'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvCoetLvXXI/AAAAAAAABqQ/o6028ZhLCSY/s72-c/Italy+flag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-6499123293085117905</id><published>2009-11-03T09:23:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T09:41:32.738-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='crucifixes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Italy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christian persecution'/><title type='text'>European Court: No Crucifixes in Italian Schools</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvBrHSJuqNI/AAAAAAAABqI/aLpM2b0ueQU/s1600-h/Crucifix.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 100px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvBrHSJuqNI/AAAAAAAABqI/aLpM2b0ueQU/s320/Crucifix.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399933726093125842" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Once again we see &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/09/uk-nurse-to-lose-job-for-wearing-cross.html"target="_blank"&gt;Christianity under attack in Europe.&lt;/a&gt; The question is, will the pro-Christianity, &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/italy-wants-to-prosecute-burqa-women.html"target="_blank"&gt;anti-Islamic government of Italy,&lt;/a&gt; put up with this?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;European court: No crucifixes in Italian schools&lt;br /&gt;By ALESSANDRA RIZZO&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ROME – &lt;strong&gt;Europe's court of human rights said Tuesday the display of crucifixes in Italian public schools violates religious and education freedoms, prompting an angry reaction from the Catholic Church and government officials in Rome.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ruling could force a review of the use of religious symbols in government-run schools across Europe. &lt;strong&gt;Saying the crucifix could be disturbing to non-Christian or atheist pupils,&lt;/strong&gt; the court rejected arguments by Italy's government that it was a national symbol of culture, history, identity, tolerance and secularism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Italian government immediately said it would appeal, with one minister saying the court should be ashamed and a conservative senator calling the ruling "absurd." Italian bishops said they were perplexed by the decision from the Strasbourg-based court.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The multiple significance of the crucifix, which is not just a religious symbol but a cultural sign, has been either ignored or overlooked," the Italian Bishop's Conference said in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The court ordered the government to pay a euro5,000 ($7,390) fine to Soile Lautsi, the mother of two children who claimed public schools in her northern Italian town refused eight years ago to remove the Roman Catholic symbols from classrooms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The seven-judge panel, however, stopped short of ordering Italy to remove the crucifixes, which are common in Italian public schools. The ruling can still be appealed to the European Court of Human Rights' Grand Chamber of 17 judges, whose decisions are binding.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lautsi, who is of Finnish origins, had maintained that the crucifix violates the secular principles the public schools are supposed to uphold, and the right to offer her children a secular education. She filed her case with the European Court of Human Rights in July 2006, after Italy's Constitutional Court dismissed her complaint. Her efforts to rid public schools of religious symbols in a country that is predominantly Roman Catholic had not been welcomed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In its ruling, the court said the presence of the crucifix "could easily be interpreted by pupils of all ages as a religious sign and they would feel that they were being educated in a school environment bearing the stamp of a given religion." &lt;strong&gt;It added that the presence of such symbols could be "disturbing for pupils who practiced other religions or were atheists."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The court said secular, state-run schools must "observe confessional neutrality in the context of public education," where attendance is compulsory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lautsi and her husband, Massimo Albertin, said they were satisfied.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We believe the ruling is a positive signal from Europe to Italy, which seems to increasingly lose its secularism," Albertin was quoted as saying by the ANSA news agency from his home in Albano Terme. "The crucifix creates discrimination."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still, the government maintained the crucifix is a symbol of Italian and European history and tradition&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In our country nobody wants to impose the Catholic religion, let alone with a crucifix," Education Minister Mariastella Gelmini said. But she added that "it is not by eliminating the traditions of individual countries that a united Europe is built."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said he wanted to see the ruling and the reasons behind it before commenting.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091103/ap_on_re_eu/eu_italy_religious_symbols"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6499123293085117905?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6499123293085117905/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6499123293085117905' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6499123293085117905'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6499123293085117905'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/european-court-no-crucifixes-in-italian.html' title='European Court: No Crucifixes in Italian Schools'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SvBrHSJuqNI/AAAAAAAABqI/aLpM2b0ueQU/s72-c/Crucifix.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-1136119975941059248</id><published>2009-11-03T07:21:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T07:36:02.136-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UK'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='EDL'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Brits'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sharia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Eurabia'/><title type='text'>English Def.

If you do not do the right thing, Obama might just let the Taliban thugs takeover. Oh, he is already &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-offers-taliban-6-provinces-for-8.html"target="_blank"&gt;on the way to doing that....&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Obama warns Afghan president: Time for new chapter&lt;br /&gt;By BEN FELLER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama greeted Hamid Karzai's election victory with as much admonishment as praise on Monday, pointedly advising America's partner in war he must make more serious efforts to end corruption in Afghanistan's government and prepare his nation to ultimately defend itself.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I emphasized that this has to be a point in time in which we begin to write a new chapter," Obama said in describing his phone call to the Afghan president. When Karzai offered back assurances, Obama said he told him that "the proof is not going to be in words. It's going to be in deeds."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama's message of stern solidarity came as he considers sending tens of thousands more U.S. troops into the war zone in Karzai's country.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Karzai won a second term Monday when competitor Abdullah Abdullah pulled out of the Nov. 7 runoff, suggesting it would be doomed by fraud just as the first voting in August was. The handling of the first election cost Karzai in international credibility.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yet the White House put its weight behind the legitimacy of the final outcome after helping to broker a runoff that never happened. Obama called the process "messy" but said Karzai won in accordance with Afghan law. &lt;strong&gt;The White House repeatedly said Abdullah had pulled out for his own political and personal reasons.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The collapse of the planned run-off increases pressure on the Obama administration to quickly end its lengthy deliberations about whether to commit more U.S. forces to a worsening war. Obama may announce his revamped war strategy, including a decision on sending more troops, early next week before a planned overseas trip.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;White House press secretary Robert Gibbs acknowledged that Karzai's win by default is a factor in the coming decision about troops but did not say the timetable for an announcement has changed. The administration continues to say it will happen in the "coming weeks."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In recounting his call to Karzai, Obama spent most of his time saying what he expects from his fellow president: more diligent efforts to end corruption, cooperation in accelerating the training of Afghan security forces, tangible benefits in the lives of the Afghan people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Those aren't just Obama's standards. He is under pressure to show Congress and the public that the U.S. is dealing with a trustworthy partner, particularly if it is going to send more troops there.

The weakness of Obama has lead to the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/taliban-strength-in-afghanistan-nears.html"target="_blank"&gt;Taliban getting stronger.&lt;/a&gt; He has even given the Taliban the OK to participate in the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/obama-taliban-can-be-in-afghan-politics.html"target="_blank"&gt;future political landscape of Afghanistan.&lt;/a&gt; Apparently none of this was enough though, and now Obama is willing to share power in Afghanistan with the Taliban thugs. This is straight out of the Twilight Zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;US Offers Taliban 6 Provinces for 8 Bases&lt;br /&gt;By Aamir Latif, IOL Correspondent&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ISLAMABAD – &lt;strong&gt;The emboldened Taliban movement in Afghanistan turned down an American offer of power-sharing in exchange for accepting the presence of foreign troops, Afghan government sources confirmed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"US negotiators had offered the Taliban leadership through Mullah Wakil Ahmed Mutawakkil (former Taliban foreign minister) that if they accept the presence of NATO troops in Afghanistan, they would be given the governorship of six provinces in the south and northeast," a senior Afghan Foreign Ministry official told IslamOnline.net requesting anonymity for not being authorized to talk about the sensitive issue with the media.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He said the talks, brokered by Saudi Arabia and Turkey, continued for weeks at different locations including the Afghan capital Kabul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Saudi Arabia, along with Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, were the only states to recognize the Taliban regime which ruled Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Turkish Prime Minister Reccap Erodgan has reportedly been active in brokering talks between the two sides.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His emissaries are in contact with Hizb-e-Islami (of former prime minister Gulbadin Hikmatyar) too because he is an important factor in northeastern Afghanistan."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A Taliban spokesman admitted indirect talks with the US.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Yes, there were some indirect talks, but they did not work," Yousaf Ahmedi, the Taliban spokesman in southern Afghanistan, told IOL from an unknown location via satellite phone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There are some people who are conveying each others’ (Taliban and US) messages. But there were no direct talks between us and America," he explained.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Afghan and Taliban sources said Mutawakkil and Mullah Mohammad Zaeef, a former envoy to Pakistan who had taken part in previous talks, represented the Taliban side in the recent talks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The US Embassy in Kabul denied any such talks.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"No, we are not holding any talks with Taliban," embassy spokeswoman Cathaline Haydan told IOL from Kabul.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Asked whether the US has offered any power-sharing formula to Taliban, she said she was not aware of any such offer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know about any specific talks and the case you are reporting is not true."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Provinces for Bases&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source say that for the first time the American negotiators did not insist on the "minus-Mullah Omer" formula, which had been the main hurdle in previous talks between the two sides.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Americans reportedly offered Taliban a form of power-sharing in return for accepting the presence of foreign troops.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"America wants 8 army and air force bases in different parts of Afghanistan in order to tackle the possible regrouping of Al-Qaeda network,"&lt;/strong&gt; the senior official said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He named the possible hosts of the bases as Mazar-e-Sharif and Badakshan in north, Kandahar in south, Kabul, Herat in west, Jalalabad in northeast and Ghazni and Faryab in central Afghanistan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In exchange, the US offered Taliban the governorship of the southern provinces of Kandahar, Zabul, Hilmand and Orazgan as well as the northeastern provinces of Nooristan and Kunar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These provinces are the epicenter of resistance against the US-led foreign forces and are considered the strongholds of Taliban.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Orazgan and Hilmand are the home provinces of Taliban Supreme Commander Mullah Omer and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But Taliban did not agree on that," said the senior official.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Their demand was that America must give a deadline for its pull out if it wants negotiations to go on."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/Satellite?c=Article_C&amp;cid=1256909637728&amp;pagename=Zone-English-News/NWELayout"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-516924808981408944?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/516924808981408944/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=516924808981408944' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/516924808981408944'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/516924808981408944'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/obama-offers-taliban-6-provinces-for-8.html' title='Obama Offers Taliban 6 Provinces for 8 Bases'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Su8FaprwYCI/AAAAAAAABpw/6xy2bGclPWA/s72-c/Obama+big+smile.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-3374415665433992849</id><published>2009-11-01T17:54:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T18:09:52.366-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christian persecution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Egypt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coptic Christians'/><title type='text'>Egypt: "burn, vandalize and clean the country of these evil immoral infidels."</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Su4-9oxUp8I/AAAAAAAABpo/avA5Bf4UyPg/s1600-h/Coptic+flag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

as to what Islam brings to the world, Muslims of Egypt continue to step up the their campaign of hate against the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/egypt-muslims-stone-coptic-churches.html"target="_blank"&gt;Coptic Christians there.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hat tip to the &lt;a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/"target="_blank"&gt;The Religion of Peace.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Egyptian Christians Fear More Muslim Violence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Egypt (AINA) -- Egyptian security forces have intensified their presence in the Upper Egyptian town of Dairout, in anticipation of a recurrence of Muslim violence against Christians. &lt;strong&gt;Copts expressed their fear over leaflets entitled "These have to Die!" which are being distributed to all Muslims in Dairout and neighborhoods, enticing them to "burn, vandalize and clean the country of these evil immoral infidels."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reports from Dairout, 313 km south of Cairo, confirm that Christian Copts are afraid to leave their homes and have stayed indoors since violence against them erupted on October 24, 2009. This collective punishment of Copts was caused by an illicit sexual relationship between a Muslim girl, Hagger Hassouna, and the Christian Romany Farouk Attallah. It was rumored that he sent videos of them intimately together to cell phones in Dairout before fleeing. This prompted the Hassouna family to kill his father, Farouk Attallah, on October 19, 2009, in revenge. Four of the Hassouna killers were detained by prosecution, leading to Muslim riots against the Copts (AINA 10-27-2009) .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to Wagih Yacoub of the Middle East Christian Assosiation (MECA), &lt;strong&gt;Muslim-owned businesses are now displaying stickers with 'Allah Akbar' (Allah is Great) to differentiate between them and Coptic-owned businesses, as a form of pre-planning for a forthcoming wave of Muslim violence.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Handwritten leaflets (Arabic) have been circulated among Muslims in Dairout for the last two days; &lt;strong&gt;they call on Muslims to unite to take revenge for their religion and honor, claiming that Hagger Hassouna is innocent and that she was forced into vice, and "all Jews and Christians should come to learn that Muslim honor is precious." The fliers state that Muslims are the masters of the world since beginning of times until the present day, and entices them to "burn and vandalize and clean the country of the evil immoral infidels."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It also calls on Muslims to take revenge for the "rings of prostitution" which are the churches and in particular the church in the village of Ezbet Hanna. Those specifically named to be killed are Reverend Pavlos of the Church of the Virgin Mary, Coptic lawyer Gamal Youssef, two brothers who own an optometry practice, and a Copt who owns a beauty saloon and photography shop.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslims are asked to die for their honor and they will be rewarded with eternal paradise. "Do not say it is a matter of just a girl, no, it is a public and a serious issue, it is the biggest issue, it is Islam's issue." A transcript of the the leaflet (in Arabic) is published on Copts United website.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A video that surfaced yesterday entitled "Revenge for Honor," showing a half-naked girl, assumed to be a Copt, is being distributed all over Dairout on cell phones. Ezzat Aziz of Copts United reported on the contents of the video of the assumed Coptic girl by saying "Details of the video shows the fear experienced by the girl as four Muslim men were undressing her." According to Aziz the video seemed to have been shot in a secluded house and the girl was threatened to get undressed and was begging her captors to let her go as she was tired. She was half-naked, but refused to take off the rest of her clothes. The men repeatedly asked her if she "knew the Dairout Girl."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Comparing the videos, Aziz said that the first (of Hagger Hassouna) shows "a girl who knew what she was doing" while the second (of the assumed Coptic girl) was of "a girl forced to undress." Aziz did not say whether the Coptic girl was named in the video, but he mentioned that the four men forcing her to undress proudly gave their full names.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Coptic websites have refused to publish the video of Hagger Hassouna, saying it would be incompatible with Christian ethics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Saturday, October, 31 the four Muslims accused of killing Farouk Attallah are expected appear in court again. A repeat of the Muslim mob violence which took place on October 24 is anticipated should prosecution extend their detainment once again.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Mary Abdelmassih&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.aina.org/news/20091101024442.htm"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-3374415665433992849?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/3374415665433992849/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=3374415665433992849' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3374415665433992849'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3374415665433992849'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/egypt-burn-vandalize-and-clean-country.html' title='Egypt: &quot;burn, vandalize and clean the country of these evil immoral infidels.&quot;'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Su4-9oxUp8I/AAAAAAAABpo/avA5Bf4UyPg/s72-c/Coptic+flag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-8873611329115987144</id><published>2009-11-01T10:26:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-11-01T10:50:32.221-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Apostates'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rifqa Bary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pamela Geller'/><title type='text'>Rally for Rifqa!

For those that think that this story is being blown out of proportion, this is what Islamic law has to say about leaving Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;From From the "Apostasy From Islam" (Ridda) chapter of Reliance of the Traveller&lt;br /&gt;A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o8.0 "Apostasy From Islam" (Ridda) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;(O:Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst.)&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o8.1 When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he &lt;strong&gt;deserves to be killed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o8.4 There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O:or an expiation, &lt;strong&gt;since it is killing someone who deserves to die).&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Expiation to Allah for Taking a Human Life&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;05.4 (O:There is no expiation for killing someone who has left Islam,) &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Rally for Rifqa!&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pamela Geller in co-operation with Robert Spencer and Dr. Andrew Bostom are organizing a Rally for Rifqa on the day of her dependency hearing in support of the reinstatement of Rifqa's rights and freedom of religion.

She is being held prisoner: no phone, no internet no public school .........house arrest in accord with sharia law. Female apostates are imprisoned until they recant.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ohio is practicing sharia law. Where are Rifqa's civil rights? Where is her freedom of religion? Why isn't Obama fighting for her right to NOT wear the hijab?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Her parents, here illegally from Sri Lanka, perjured themselves repeatedly and abused Rifqa for years. They are devout Muslims. The punishment for apostasy in Islam is death. Why can't Rifqa choose her own attorney? She is up against an array of legal talent and her parents have changed lawyers as frequently as toddlers change diapers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;PLEASE JOIN ATLAS SHRUGS, JIHAD WATCH, DR.

This time we have the reverse situation. Islam, bringing out the best in people across the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Muslim woman held in slay try of husband; he made her wear sexy skirts and eat pork&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLA AND JOHN LAUINGER &lt;br /&gt;DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A soft-spoken Muslim woman tried to slit her Staten Island husband's throat as he slept - enraged that he made her eat pork and wear sexy skirts, officials said.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It's time for you to die!" screamed Rabia Sarwar as she pounced on hubby Sheikh Naseem, sources said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He woke early Wednesday to find her straddling his chest and &lt;strong&gt;hacking at his neck with a knife.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The burly 41-year-old, a teacher at Susan Wagner High School, overpowered the pretty petite Sarwar, 37, and grabbed the weapon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The two have only been together for five months. For Nasseem, it was his third try after his first two marriages failed. The Pakistani-born Naseem was not a practicing Muslim but sought a traditional wife; their pairing was arranged through family friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Being that he didn't do very well the first two times, he thought he would try a woman of his own culture," one of Naseem's ex-wives told the Daily News on condition that she not be identified.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"She is very soft-spoken, very low-key," the woman said. "I would not have dreamed anything like this would happen."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But authorities said she was furious that Naseem stayed so Western: "She's a very devout Muslim and she felt that he got her to marry him under false pretenses," a source said. "He doesn't really observe any of the traditions of Islam. She says he forced her to eat pork and wear short skirts."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She also claimed that his favorite author is Salman Rushdie, reviled by devout Muslims after writing the prophet-bashing "The Satanic Verses."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sarwar was released on $25,000 bail after being arraigned yesterday on attempted murder rap charges. She claimed "months of emotional abuse and duress," sources said. Cops had no record of domestic abuse complaints against Naseem.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nydailynews.com/news/ny_crime/2009/10/30/2009-10-30_woman_held_in_slay_try_of_hubby.html#ixzz0VcPoiIQK"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-3568276706719206747?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/3568276706719206747/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=3568276706719206747' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3568276706719206747'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3568276706719206747'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/11/nymuslim-woman-slashes-at-husbands.html' title='NY:Muslim Woman Slashes at Husband&apos;s Throat for not Being Islamic Enough'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/Su2fYe7yfuI/AAAAAAAABpY/q13d-HnnKI0/s72-c/santoku+knife.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-2348861210454321708</id><published>2009-10-31T18:05:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-31T18:46:01.736-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christians'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Apostates'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Rifqa Bary'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Apologetics'/><title type='text'>Acts 17 Apologetics Radio Show on Rifqa Bary</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuzmY-sIfiI/AAAAAAAABpQ/HP_1-liE92w/s1600-h/Rifqa+Bary.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 92px; height: 126px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuzmY-sIfiI/AAAAAAAABpQ/HP_1-liE92w/s320/Rifqa+Bary.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398943370129735202" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our anti-Islamist Christian friends that recently had their freedom of speech denied at a &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/07/michiganmuslim-mob-surrounds-and.html"target="_blank"&gt;recent Arab festival in Michigan,&lt;/a&gt; are taking it to the radio tonight.

Abdullah was killed Wednesday at a Dearborn warehouse as he was being arrested in connection with several charges, including conspiracy, receipt of stolen goods and firearm offenses.&lt;br /&gt;Eleven men also face charges related to the FBI raid. The complaint said many of the men were ex-convicts who were introduced to Islam in prison.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FBI says the last two men in that group linked to Abdullah were arrested Saturday in Ontario, Canada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FBI says Mohammad Philistine and Yassir Ali Khan were taken into custody in the Windsor area. Both have ties there.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At the funeral, Derrick Ali, resident imam of the Muslim Center who addressed the media, said those who knew Abdullah feel "great sorrow."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Most of us are in a state of shock," Ali said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ali said Abdullah's service included a brief prayer after people paid their respects. Abdullah was to then be buried.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Outside the Muslim Center on Saturday, those heading to the funeral jammed area parking lots, fields and nearby streets. Several large buses were used to bring people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Federal authorities claim Abdullah was the head of a mosque called Masjid Al-Haqq, which consisted primarily of African-American Muslims, and was the head of a radical jihadist movement intent on carving out an Islamic state within the United States through violent means.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Court documents filed Wednesday identified Abdullah -- also known as Christopher Thomas -- as "a highly placed leader of a nationwide radical fundamentalist Sunni group."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.detnews.com/article/20091031/METRO/910310380/Hundreds-mourn-slain-mosque-leader"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6137573929033081765?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6137573929033081765/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6137573929033081765' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6137573929033081765'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6137573929033081765'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/michigan-100s-mourn-imam-of-hate.html' title='Michigan: 100&apos;s Mourn Imam of Hate'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SumGD5A9RqI/AAAAAAAABpA/pBL0FqX2VO4/s72-c/u1_Muslim-image-intense+US+FLAG.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-4401203679082057382</id><published>2009-10-29T11:02:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-29T11:27:58.138-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Pakistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hillary Clinton'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='war on terror'/><title type='text'>Clinton "hard to believe" Pakistan Cannot Find al-Qaeda</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuneiNkgmWI/AAAAAAAABpI/_QRhX3TUL9M/s1600-h/Clinton+new+Thur.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 104px; height: 131px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuneiNkgmWI/AAAAAAAABpI/_QRhX3TUL9M/s320/Clinton+new+Thur.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398090307719960930" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For the second time this week, Hillary Clinton has hit the nail on the head. On Tuesday she spoke out against the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/clinton-takes-stand-against-islamic.html"target="_blank"&gt;Obama backed U.N. resolution on “defamation of religions".&lt;/a&gt; Today she has applied some common sense and is questioning Pakistan and the two-faced game that they are playing with us. I believe that Hillary is going to sit back and watch Obama crash and burn, then quickly turn on him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton puzzled at Pakistan failure to find al Qaeda&lt;br /&gt;By Andrew Quinn &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LAHORE, Pakistan (Reuters) – &lt;strong&gt;U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's said on Thursday it was "hard to believe" that no one in Pakistan's government knew where al Qaeda leaders were hiding, striking a new tone&lt;/strong&gt; on a trip where Washington's credibility has come under attack.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scores of al Qaeda leaders and their operatives, including Osama bin Laden, are believed to be in hiding in the rugged border territory that divides Pakistan and Afghanistan, but both countries routinely accuse the other of being the main sanctuary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"I find it hard to believe that nobody in your government knows where they are and couldn't get them if they really wanted to,"&lt;/strong&gt; she told a group of newspaper editors during a meeting in Lahore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Maybe they are not 'get-at-able'. I don't know," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton's pointed remark was the first public gripe on a trip aimed at turning around a U.S.-Pakistan relationship under serious strain, but bound in the struggle against religious extremism.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I am more than willing to hear every complaint about the United States," Clinton said, ""but this is a two way street.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If we are going to have a mature partnership where we work together" then "there are issues that not just the United States but others have with your government and with your military security establishment."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Clinton, who has sought to use her own personal outreach to overcome rising anti-American sentiment in Pakistan, earlier repeated her conviction that the two countries' common interests far outweighed their differences.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091029/pl_nm/us_pakistan_usa"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-4401203679082057382?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/4401203679082057382/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=4401203679082057382' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4401203679082057382'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4401203679082057382'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/clinton-hard-to-believe-pakistan-cannot.html' title='Clinton &quot;hard to believe&quot; Pakistan Cannot Find al-Qaeda'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuneiNkgmWI/AAAAAAAABpI/_QRhX3TUL9M/s72-c/Clinton+new+Thur.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-6375324130054153356</id><published>2009-10-29T04:45:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-29T05:10:37.234-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Michigan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sharia'/><title type='text'>Detroit:1 Dead, 12 Sharia Loving Muslims Charged</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SumGD5A9RqI/AAAAAAAABpA/pBL0FqX2VO4/s1600-h/u1_Muslim-image-intense+US+FLAG.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 243px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SumGD5A9RqI/AAAAAAAABpA/pBL0FqX2VO4/s320/u1_Muslim-image-intense+US+FLAG.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397993029782816418" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is an update to yesterday's &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/detroitmuslim-shoot-out-with-fbi.html"target="_blank"&gt;shoot-out in Detriot&lt;/a&gt;.

An FBI canine also was fatally shot. Raids also were conducted in Detroit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The eleven defendants are members of a group that is alleged to have engaged in violent activity over a period of many years and known to be armed," a joint statement from the FBI and U.S. Attorney's Office said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A 12th man was arrested late Wednesday in connection with the investigation. Three of the men charged were at large Wednesday night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdullah and the others were charged with conspiracy to commit several federal felony crimes, including illegal possession and sale of firearms and theft from interstate shipments.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Abdullah spoke of attacking Super Bowl XL&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdullah believed he and his followers were soldiers at war against the government and non-Muslims.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Abdullah told his followers it is their duty to oppose the FBI and the government and it does not matter if they die," FBI agent Gary Leone said in an affidavit unsealed today. "He also told the group that they need to plan to do something."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abdullah, 53, of Detroit stayed true to his word as armed FBI agents raided a Dearborn warehouse at Michigan Avenue and Miller. Authorities said he refused to surrender, opened fire and then died in a shootout in which an FBI dog also was killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Agents also raided two Detroit homes in the 4400 block of Tireman and the 9200 block of Genessee. The affidavits and returns for those warrants were sealed today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI in Detroit unsealed a 43-page document describing a sinister, radical fundamentalist group headed by Abdullah. The document notes conversations he had with undercover agents and federal informants that ranged from talking about attacking Super Bowl XL in Detroit to blowing himself up as a final act of courage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If they are coming to get to me, I'll just strap a bomb on and blow up everybody," he said in a March 21, 2008, conversation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Federal officials said Abdullah was the leader of a group that calls itself "Ummah, a group of mostly African-American converts to Islam, which seeks to establish a separate Sharia-law governed state within the United States."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The Ummah is ruled by Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, who is serving a state sentence ... for the murder of two police officers in Georgia." Brown came to prominence in the 1960s as a leader of the Black Panther Party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"He regularly preaches antigovernment and antilaw enforcement rhetoric," Leone said of Abdullah in the affidavit. "Abdullah and his followers have trained regularly in the use of firearms and continue to train in martial arts and sword fighting."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why Abdullah and his followers chose Detroit as their haven remains unknown, Detroit FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Authorities said none of the charges levied today are terrorist-related. Abdullah and 11 suspects were charged with felonies including illegal possession and sale of firearms, mail fraud to obtain the proceeds of arson, theft from interstate shipments and tampering with motor vehicle identification numbers.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.freep.com/article/20091028/NEWS02/91028073/1318/FBI-kills-leader-of-radical-Muslims--12-charged"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6375324130054153356?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6375324130054153356/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6375324130054153356' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6375324130054153356'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6375324130054153356'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/detroit1-dead-12-sharia-loving-muslims.html' title='Detroit:1 Dead, 12 Sharia Loving Muslims Charged'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SumGD5A9RqI/AAAAAAAABpA/pBL0FqX2VO4/s72-c/u1_Muslim-image-intense+US+FLAG.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-527814371593247100</id><published>2009-10-28T15:09:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T15:16:55.030-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='FBI'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><title type='text'>Detroit:Muslim Shoot-out With FBI!</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SujCpl1wTHI/AAAAAAAABo4/XUeo_RUj-0Q/s1600-h/Islamic+Flag+of+America.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

Now more of the saving France from Islam plan has been revealed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hat tip to Stephanie.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;France to launch national pride campaign in battle against Islamic fundamentalism&lt;br /&gt;By PETER ALLEN&lt;br /&gt;27th October 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;France is to adopt a series of measures to 'reaffirm pride' in the country and combat Islamic fundamentalism.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They include everybody receiving lessons in the nation's Christian history and children singing the national anthem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using words which infuriated ethnic minority groups and Socialist opponents, immigration minister Eric Besson also said he wanted 'foreigners to speak better French'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He called for all recent arrivals to be monitored by 'Republican godfathers', charged with helping immigrants to integrate better.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His proposed measures contrast sharply with the situation in Britain where 'citizenship education' centres on multicultural diversity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;M Besson, who was born in the former French protectorate of Morocco, suggested a debate on national identity' entitled 'What does it mean to be French?'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also reignited the debate about face and body-covering Muslim veils, saying they should definitely be banned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As well as providing civic lessons for adults - including classes about the country's Christian history and liberal political institutions - the government will encourage school children to sing the national anthem at least once a year. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His proposed measures contrast sharply with the situation in Britain where 'citizenship education' centres on multicultural diversity and the European Union, while 'God Save The Queen' is not even taught in schools. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In an interview broadcast on national TV, Mr Besson said : 'It's necessary to reaffirm the values of national identity and the pride of being French.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'I think, for example, that it would be good for all young French people to have the chance to sing The Marseillaise at least once a year.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Making clear that radical Islam was a threat, Mr Besson said: 'In France, the nation and the republic remain the strongest ramparts against ... fundamentalist tendencies. France is diversity, and France is unity.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mr Besson defended a decision to send illegal Afghan immigrants - all of them Muslim - back to Kabul on charter flights organised in conjunction with the British government last week, saying there would be many more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;More than 21,000 people have been deported from France this year - with 27,000 the ultimate target, said Mr Besson.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He also reignited the debate about face and body-covering Muslim veils, saying they should definitely be banned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;'For me, there should be no burqas on the street,' said Mr Besson. 'The burqa is against national values - an affront to women's rights and equality.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Explaining the apparent shift to the extreme right by President Nicolas Sarkozy's government, Mr Besson evoked the legacy of Jean Marie Le Pen's anti-immigration National Front party, which is struggling massively with huge debts and low electoral support.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr Besson said: 'We should never have abandoned to the National Front a number of values which are part of the Republic's heritage. I think that the political death of the National Front would be the best news for all of us.' &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But Mohammed Moussaoui, a prominent French Muslim leader, said debates like the one about the burqa were stigmatising the country's entire Muslim community, which at some five million is the largest in western Europe.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1223037/France-launch-national-pride-campaign-battle-Islamic-fundamentalism.html#ixzz0VEwUHqN0"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-4323560844313537518?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/4323560844313537518/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=4323560844313537518' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4323560844313537518'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4323560844313537518'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/france-takes-on-islam-deportations-have.html' title='France Takes on Islam, Deportations Have Started!'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuhkUyLWv7I/AAAAAAAABow/8f8cirDM9u4/s72-c/France+Flag.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-5992671153138071165</id><published>2009-10-28T02:33:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-28T08:26:40.194-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Taliban'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Obama'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='war on terror'/><title type='text'>Obama Opens up Checkbook to Taliban</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SugWJJSXlLI/AAAAAAAABoo/9tvmc_8cBKQ/s1600-h/obama_clown_money.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 292px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SugWJJSXlLI/AAAAAAAABoo/9tvmc_8cBKQ/s320/obama_clown_money.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397588499771135154" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Although the Taliban in Afghanistan is &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/taliban-strength-in-afghanistan-nears.html"target="_blank"&gt;getting stronger&lt;/a&gt;, Obama still believes that he is going to reach out to the &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/04/talibanobamas-ideas-are-lunatic.html"target="_blank"&gt;"moderate" Taliban members,&lt;/a&gt; in order to turn the war around. His next brilliant move is to now pay off Taliban members, this comes just weeks after stating that Taliban members will be allowed to &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/obama-taliban-can-be-in-afghan-politics.html"target="_blank"&gt;take part in the government of Afganistan.&lt;/a&gt; Because of Obama, who has the upper hand here?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;U.S. defense bill would pay Taliban to switch sides&lt;br /&gt;By Susan Cornwell – Tue Oct 27&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON (Reuters) – &lt;strong&gt;The defense bill President Barack Obama will sign into law on Wednesday contains a new provision that would pay Taliban fighters who renounce the insurgency,&lt;/strong&gt; Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin said on Tuesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The provision establishes a program in Afghanistan similar to one used in Iraq where former fighters were re-integrated into Iraqi society, Levin told Reuters.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obama plans to sign the bill authorizing Pentagon operations for fiscal 2010 on Wednesday, the White House said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reaching out to moderate Taliban members is part of the Obama administration's plan to turn around the eight-year war in Afghanistan. Levin also has advocated trying to convince Taliban fighters to change sides by luring them with jobs and &lt;strong&gt;amnesty for past attacks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Under the legislation, Afghan fighters who renounce the insurgency would be paid for "mainly protection of their towns and villages," Levin said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It would be "just like the sons of Iraq," he said, referring to the program used in Iraq which military commanders say helped turn around a failing war.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"You got 90,000 Iraqis who switched sides, and are involved in protecting their hometowns against attack and violence." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bill authorizes using money from an existing Commanders Emergency Response Program, which U.S. commanders can use for a variety of purposes. &lt;strong&gt;It does not set a specific dollar amount for the fighters' re-integration program.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is $1.3 billion authorized for the fund in fiscal 2010, which began October 1. The money must still be allocated by defense appropriators, who are working to finish the legislation.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20091027/pl_nm/us_afghanistan_usa_taliban"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-5992671153138071165?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/5992671153138071165/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=5992671153138071165' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5992671153138071165'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/5992671153138071165'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/obama-opens-up-checkbook-to-taliban.html' title='Obama Opens up Checkbook to Taliban'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SugWJJSXlLI/AAAAAAAABoo/9tvmc_8cBKQ/s72-c/obama_clown_money.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-679025361137244270</id><published>2009-10-27T13:50:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T14:11:47.720-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Universities'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='UNM'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><title type='text'>Muslim Student:UNM Islam Class Teaches Hatred</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SudhihUhuvI/AAAAAAAABog/I8WeXfIqd3k/s1600-h/UNMexico.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 150px; height: 115px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SudhihUhuvI/AAAAAAAABog/I8WeXfIqd3k/s320/UNMexico.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397389924114742002" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well Muhajir, if your account of the class is accurate, they are &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/islam-101-religion-of-war_05.html"target="_blank"&gt;only teaching the truth.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;UNM's Islam classes teach non-Muslims fear, hatred&lt;br /&gt;Editor,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a Religious Studies major who happens to be Muslim, I recently signed up for classes related to my religion of choice: Islam. I thought that taking these classes would increase my knowledge of the religion and give me a much-needed break from the lies and propaganda that I see on the news. Man, was I wrong. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not only did my teachers not know about the true teachings of Islam, they acted like cheerleaders for the so-called War on Terror. &lt;strong&gt;I had one professor compare the Prophet Muhammad to Adolf Hitler. Then a couple of days after that, another professor told a class of scared Christians that Islam teaches terrorism.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And so here I am in the middle of another semester listening to the same lies. I sometimes find myself asking, “Did my professors of Islam study the religion at the University of Guantanamo Bay or Abu Ghraib?” The only knowledge about Islam that is being passed on to non-Muslim students is fear and hatred. Maybe one day common sense will prevail and UNM will hire Muslims to teach classes about Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muhajir Salam&lt;br /&gt;UNM student&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://dailylobo.com/index.php/article/2009/10/unms_islam_classes_teach_nonmuslims_fear_hatred#comment2007"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-679025361137244270?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/679025361137244270/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=679025361137244270' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/679025361137244270'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/679025361137244270'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/muslim-studentunm-islam-class-teaches.html' title='Muslim Student:UNM Islam Class Teaches Hatred'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SudhihUhuvI/AAAAAAAABog/I8WeXfIqd3k/s72-c/UNMexico.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-8421485787009025908</id><published>2009-10-27T08:58:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T09:42:07.629-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='OIC'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='United Nations'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Hillary Clinton'/><title type='text'>Clinton Takes a Stand Against Islamic Censorhip</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SucijOTwGEI/AAAAAAAABoY/3pCry8OFUag/s1600-h/Hillary+new.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 93px; height: 124px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SucijOTwGEI/AAAAAAAABoY/3pCry8OFUag/s320/Hillary+new.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5397320666958534722" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hillary Clinton has actually done the right thing and is taking a stand against the Organization of Islamic Conference &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/04/islamic-bloc-to-set-up-its-own-human.html"target="_blank"&gt;(OIC)&lt;/a&gt;, and the United Nations which in the past had &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2008/08/un-bans-criticism-of-islam.html"target="_blank"&gt;banned any criticism of Islam in regards to human rights&lt;/a&gt;. Miracles do happen!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Clinton Denounces Proposed 'Defamation of Religions' Policies&lt;br /&gt;By Michelle A. Vu|Christian Post Reporter&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton voiced strong opposition Monday to proposed U.N. resolutions on “defamation of religions,” saying that such policies would restrict free speech.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“The United States will always seek to counter negative stereotypes of individuals based on their religion and will stand against discrimination and persecution,” Clinton stated. &lt;strong&gt;“But an individual’s ability to practice his or her religion has no bearing on others’ freedom of speech.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The protection of speech about religion and religious discourse is important in a world with many different faith beliefs, asserted the high-ranking U.S. diplomat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Earlier this year, the U.N. Human Rights Council adopted an anti-defamation draft resolution that human rights groups warn would protect a religion rather than adherents of religions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leonard A. Leo, chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, last week testified to Members of Congress that the only religion and religious adherents that are specifically mentioned in the “defamation” resolutions – this year’s and past years – are Islam and Muslims.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Aside from Islam, the resolutions do not specify which religions are deserving of protection, or explain how or by whom this would be determined,” Leo stated.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several prominent groups working with persecuted Christians have also spoken out against the resolutions, which are sponsored annually by the Organization of the Islamic Conference, because they say the policies would be manipulated to further harass Christians and other religious minorities in Muslim-majority countries.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Many Christians living in these countries [that make up the Organization of Islamic Conference] are already severely impacted by restrictive laws – especially those living under strict Shariah law,”&lt;/strong&gt; said Open Doors USA President/CEO Carl Moeller. “From the right to worship freely to the ability to share the Gospel, the Defamation of Religions Resolution threatens to justify local laws that already marginalize Christians."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since 1999, the Organization of the Islamic Conference has annually sponsored a "defamation of religions" resolution in the U.N. Human Rights Council, and, since 2005, in the General Assembly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The resolution adopted this past March by the U.N. Human Rights Council is currently non-binding, but OIC has publicly stated that its goal is for the U.N. to adopt a binding international covenant against the “defamation of religions.” Next month, a similar resolution will be considered for adoption by the General Assembly.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianpost.com/article/20091027/clinton-denounces-defamation-of-religions-proposals/index.html"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-8421485787009025908?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/8421485787009025908/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=8421485787009025908' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8421485787009025908'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/8421485787009025908'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/clinton-takes-stand-against-islamic.html' title='Clinton Takes a Stand Against Islamic Censorhip'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SucijOTwGEI/AAAAAAAABoY/3pCry8OFUag/s72-c/Hillary+new.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-3207118621604949889</id><published>2009-10-27T07:38:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-27T08:00:23.372-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Dove World Outreach Center'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Terry Jones'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><title type='text'>Pastor Jones' Offer to Women of Islam~Video</title><content type='html'>This is an offer to help women who desire to &lt;strong&gt;break out of Islam but have nowhere to go!&lt;/strong&gt; We want to help them to start a new life in freedom!

If there are side benefits, like showing some solidarity with your Muslim friends, that's fine too. It's best not to be bragging about it. (But) it has to be a personal decision."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Donald Wagner, co-founder, Evangelicals for Middle East Understanding&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The idea of Ramadan and the feast of Eid is Muslims are asking that they would encounter God more. What that means to them varies from place to place and person to person, I'm sure, and Islam has so many different manifestations, that varies dramatically across the globe. But still—that's something we can agree with, that we pray and get to know God more."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Lynn Green, international chairman, Youth With a Mission&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In order to bridge the gap between the East and West Muslim and Christian cultures, rather than condemning and criticizing, here's something very easy that we could do as followers of Jesus that's consistent with the teachings of Christ and the scriptures. Not that we're supporting every viewpoint and doctrine, no—we're supporting them as neighbors in the spiritual journey. We're all on a spiritual journey."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mark Siljander, author, A Deadly Misunderstanding: A Congressman's Quest to Bridge the Muslim-Christian Divide&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"There's such fragmentation between the Christian community and the Muslim community that it makes sense to me that we participate in something that is both inherently Christian and, for Muslims, inherently Islamic, to build bridges of peace."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ben Ries, pastor, Sterling Drive Church of Christ, Bellingham, Wash.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Muslims believe that fasting is an essential component during the month of Ramadan, essential to their obedience to God. So they assume anyone who is seeking to be serious about God will show that dedication by fasting as well. Muslims have a hard time understanding how Christians can be serious about wanting to follow God without also fasting during Ramadan. If Muslims see a Christian fasting, they tend to respond with a development of very positive rapport. They say, "Here's someone who is serious about obeying God as much as we are." It builds ties with Muslim friends and acquaintances."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Mateen Elass, Christian from a Muslim family background and senior pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Edmond, Okla.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"If we are using traditional Christian disciplines just as a matter of solidarity then we are missing the point. The whole thing rides on motive. If one is doing it just to be a nice person and identify with a Muslim neighbor, then I don't think it's appropriate, because you're using a spiritual discipline not as a spiritual exercise but as a social connection. If one is saying, 'During Ramadan, I'm going to fast too because that's part of our history and I want to be drawn closer to Christ and be more like Christ,' then it's totally appropriate."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Joel Hunter, senior pastor, Northland Church, and member, President's Council on Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"It depends on the attitude and the biblical understanding of prayer and fasting. We are not praying and fasting in the name of Allah. Yes, we will pray and fast with Muslims, to a certain extent; but we will pray and fast in Jesus' name, and do it for their salvation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Ron Kernahan, cofounder, 30-Days Prayer Network&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"Christians may fast alongside Muslim friends, either as a gesture of friendship or in order to open dialogue, but not as part of Ramadan itself. Christian fasting is fundamentally different from Muslim fasting. Christians must make clear that their view of God, God's approach to us, and therefore fasting as part of our relationship to God, are each different from Muslim views."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Gerald McDermott, Jordan-Trexler Professor of Religion, Roanoke College&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"In Isaiah and the minor prophets, you fast and pray to really meet God, to humble yourself and cry out to God … Muslims fast during Ramadan for different purposes. They fast to fulfill the five duties. I'm not against fasting, but I think biblically the reasons for fasting are quite different than those for what Muslims do. &lt;strong&gt;The form of fasting during Ramadan is so filled with Islamic meaning that you can't separate the two. I think some Christians today think they're separating the form from the meaning—the form is good, fasting is good, and they're extracting the meaning from it. I don't think that's possible, because the form and the meaning are so closely connected.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Warren Larson, director, Zwemer Center for Muslim Studies at Columbia International University&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"It is not appropriate to fast alongside Muslims. I wouldn't make a point, if I were in a heavily Muslim state where everybody is fasting during the day, of fixing a hot dog and walking outside and eating it … but to observe Ramadan along with your Muslim neighbors and friends, letting them know that you're observing Ramadan as an act of some sort of religious or spiritual solidarity, is simply a fundamental compromise. They're observing Ramadan in the service of a false God and a false gospel, and we shouldn't be trying to express our solidarity with that."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Douglas Wilson, senior pastor, Christ Church, Moscow, Idaho, and senior fellow of theology, New St. Andrews College&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2009/octoberweb-only/143-11.0.html?start=2"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-3371865305087319182?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/3371865305087319182/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=3371865305087319182' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3371865305087319182'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/3371865305087319182'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/should-christians-fast-during-ramadan.html' title='Should Christians Fast During Ramadan With Muslims?'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuX9IcvfQBI/AAAAAAAABoQ/0lUSqUN0MqA/s72-c/Just+say+no.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-4298274547038969313</id><published>2009-10-26T09:34:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T10:28:21.806-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam in our schools'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Sharia'/><title type='text'>Cali: Public School Ushers in Sharia</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuXaXws73VI/AAAAAAAABoI/zJwYvXye86U/s1600-h/Halal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 102px; height: 130px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuXaXws73VI/AAAAAAAABoI/zJwYvXye86U/s320/Halal.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396959830218628434" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Muslims say jump and our &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/cair-whines-about-bible-class-school.html"target="_blank"&gt;public school officials ask how high?&lt;/a&gt; Don't be surprised if their next demand is to ban all pork products.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Besides, respect is &lt;em&gt;supposed&lt;/em&gt; to be a two-way street. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;From From the "Non-Muslim Subjects of the Islamic State" chapter of Reliance of the Traveller&lt;br /&gt;A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;o11.4&lt;br /&gt;(6) are forbidden to openly display wine or pork,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hat tip to &lt;a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/"target="_blank"&gt;The Religion of Peace.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Muslim parents concerned with what children are eating at Heritage Primary Elementary&lt;br /&gt;By Jennifer Bonnett&lt;br /&gt;News-Sentinel Staff Writer&lt;br /&gt;Thursday, October 22, 2009 10:25 AM PDT&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Israr Khan is concerned about his 4-year-old daughter's lunch choices at Heritage Primary Elementary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since she is enrolled in the state-operated pre-school program, the girl can choose from any of the cafeteria offerings even if they don't align with her Muslim diet or aren't "halal."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"They say it's the kids' choice, but they are 3 (years old) and hardly know what is right or wrong," Khan said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;He and a trio of men attended Tuesday's Lodi Unified school board meeting requesting a new policy that allows parents to accompany their children through the cafeteria line.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At issue is the Muslim diet.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Because of religious beliefs, they are not allowed to eat pork or other meat that is slaughtered improperly. Things such as Jell-O are also off limits because they are made with gelatin, an animal by-product.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In years past, the school district has created many choices for students with special dietary needs such as vegetarians. This includes offering a salad bar on most campuses and cheese pizza as an alternative to the meat version. Schools also serve bean and cheese burritos and cheese nachos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, lunchtime at Heritage's pre-school program is instructional time where the teacher's focus is having students make choices, according to Principal Maria Cervantes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"So if they decide to choose a forbidden food, he or she is allowed to do so," she said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cervantes, who met with some parents earlier in the day and felt the meeting went well, plans to label the table and color-code the vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices before explaining to students what is available.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The pre-school teacher will also discuss with the Muslim children what foods their parents say is appropriate to eat.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"But ultimately when it comes to lunch, the child makes the final choice. That's a little hard," Cervantes said. "The teacher can't physically stop them from reaching out and picking up what they want to eat."&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.lodinews.com/articles/2009/10/22/news/1_heritage_091022.txt"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-4298274547038969313?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/4298274547038969313/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=4298274547038969313' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4298274547038969313'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4298274547038969313'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/cali-public-school-ushers-in-sharia.html' title='Cali: Public School Ushers in Sharia'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuXaXws73VI/AAAAAAAABoI/zJwYvXye86U/s72-c/Halal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-4692572887402443201</id><published>2009-10-26T08:39:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-26T09:42:01.191-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorist attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Muslims'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><title type='text'>Michigan Student Charged With Terror Threat</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuXRUrn-TfI/AAAAAAAABn4/4L8HezRq3CM/s1600-h/Michigan+green+and+white.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 124px; height: 103px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuXRUrn-TfI/AAAAAAAABn4/4L8HezRq3CM/s320/Michigan+green+and+white.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396949881711382002" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Another day, another &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/minn-muslim-rearrested-for-terror.html"target="_blank"&gt;Islamic terrorist threat takes place in the USA.&lt;/a&gt; Has anyone else figured out where this is all heading?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/uk-muslimsaccept-islam-or-sharia-or.html"target="_blank"&gt;Think of the UK.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Related Michigan &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/07/michiganmuslim-mob-surrounds-and.html"target="_blank"&gt;video.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;17-year-old charged with threatening terrorism&lt;br /&gt;By Brittany Shammas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A former MSU freshman no longer is enrolled in the university and is in jail on a $150,000 bond following his Tuesday &lt;strong&gt;arrest for making a terrorist threat or false report of terrorism.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Zachariah M. Aslam, a 17-year-old from South Rockwood, Mich., was arrested after police were informed he was making threats, according to a statement from the MSU Police.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aslam was an enrolled student before the arrest, MSU spokesman Terry Denbow said, declining to comment further. The FBI was involved in investigating, FBI spokeswoman Sandra Berchtold said. Aslam was arraigned Friday in East Lansing’s 54-B District Court before Judge Richard Ball.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Berchtold referred all questions regarding the case to the MSU police. MSU police Sgt. Shaun Mills said police could not comment on the case.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aslam’s neighbors and acquaintances said they were shocked by the arrest. History sophomore Chris Rivard, Aslam’s former roommate, said he had a hard time believing the charges could be true.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aslam was a “very nice guy” who brought home extra snacks from an event with the crew team he was on, Rivard said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Just from living with him for a couple of months, it doesn’t seem like he had a violent bone in his body,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rivard said he did not see anything in Aslam to make him anticipate the arrest.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“He was known for making some outlandish comments, but it’s definitely Zach. … And you’d go, ‘Well, that’s just Zach,’” he said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aslam’s profile on Facebook listed his academic programs as computer engineering, physics and math. It included many updates, some of including references to chemicals and weapons.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fisheries and wildlife senior Zach Darter, who lives on Aslam’s former floor, said Aslam was friendly but a loner and many floormates did not know him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“You never heard anything about him,” Darter said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aslam currently is being held in the Ingham County Jail, although that could change, Ingham County Prosecutor Stuart Dunnings III said. Dunnings said he expects Aslam’s pretrial exam to take place sometime in December.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.statenews.com/index.php/article/2009/10/17yearold_charged_with_threatening_terrorism"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-4692572887402443201?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/4692572887402443201/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=4692572887402443201' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4692572887402443201'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/4692572887402443201'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/michigan-student-charged-with-terror.html' title='Michigan Student Charged With Terror Threat'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuXRUrn-TfI/AAAAAAAABn4/4L8HezRq3CM/s72-c/Michigan+green+and+white.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-4337052642259596313</id><published>2009-10-25T15:20:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-25T15:46:29.299-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Koran'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Afghanistan'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='war on terror'/><title type='text'>Afghans Protest Rumored Desecration of Koran by U.S. Troops</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuTQ87_2OgI/AAAAAAAABno/5hCJs7jwcco/s1600-h/Afghans+burn+Obama+effigy+over+Koran.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 174px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuTQ87_2OgI/AAAAAAAABno/5hCJs7jwcco/s320/Afghans+burn+Obama+effigy+over+Koran.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5396667998812912130" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is this part of the Afghans actually respecting us over their religion?

The U.S. military denies committing acts of sacrilege.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By Laura King&lt;br /&gt;October 25, 2009 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reporting from Kabul, Afghanistan - &lt;strong&gt;Hundreds of angry protesters in Afghanistan's capital burned an effigy of President Obamaon Sunday, acting on rumors that American troops had desecrated the Koran.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;U.S. military officials emphatically denied that any copies of the Muslim holy book had been mishandled,&lt;/strong&gt; and accused the Taliban of spreading falsehoods to incite hatred against Western forces.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the protest -- reminiscent of similar demonstrations in Iraq and elsewhere in the Muslim world in recent years -- showed how easily passions involving religious sensitivities can be stirred up even with a dearth of evidence.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The incident also pointed to a strong undercurrent of anti-American sentiment at a politically fraught time in Afghanistan,&lt;/strong&gt; less than two weeks before a runoff to settle a divisive, fraud-tainted presidential election. The Nov. 7 face-off between President Hamid Karzai and former Foreign Minister Abdullah Abdullah was agreed to only after heavy U.S. pressure on Karzai to accept the results of an international audit. The investigators found as many as one-third of the ballots cast for Karzai in the Aug. 20 election had been fraudulent. That put the Afghan leader below the threshold of victory, 50%, which made a runoff necessary.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On Sunday morning U.S. news interview shows, both candidates ruled out a power-sharing agreement to avoid the runoff. Against this political backdrop, the Koran protest reflected a rising religious conservatism even among some members of Afghanistan's educated elite, such as the university students who made up most of the crowd of about 1,000 demonstrators.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Police fired warning shots into the air when the demonstrators marched from Kabul University toward the parliament, but no injuries were reported.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Several marchers insisted they were certain that a Koran had been desecrated by U.S. troops in Wardak province, just outside the capital, even if they could not provide particulars of the incident, such as when it was believed to have taken place.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;"Muslims were disrespected!" said Zabiullah Khalil, an engineering student. "The foreigners shot the Koran, and then they burned it. They should be tried for this."&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The demonstration, like many in the capital, had a heartfelt yet orchestrated feel to it.

But it turned out to be from a Christian convert to Islam, who told me that I am ignorant on Islam. Yet this person could do no better than run to their friend for help. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;what a nasty, vile info site this is - reminiscent of the propaganda that started being pedalled by the nazis in the 30s against jewish people. Shame on you Y&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes there is a lot of nasty actions done by Muslims on my site....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Jews were not trying to subjugate the world under a set of barbaric religious laws. Muslims are. Big difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam also calls for Muslims to fight and kill Jews to reach judgment day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Book 041, Number 6985:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: &lt;a href="http://www.usc.edu/schools/college/crcc/engagement/resources/texts/muslim/hadith/muslim/041.smt.html#041.6980"target="_blank"&gt;Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When you actually know something about the issue, get back to me. Until then keep your mouth shut.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this email, "Y" avoids the Jew hatred that stems from Islam. "Y" probably agrees with it, as so many Muslims do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Christopher,&lt;br /&gt;I am deeply alarmed by your sick and twisted mind - you are unable to distinguish between the parallels I've drawn for you of the 1930s and the present day. Your flawed arguments and lack of knowledge towards Islam and the other monolithic faiths expose you for what you are.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can put you in touch with quite a learned Muslim who can probably enlighten you, but you have to be willing to open up your mind and remove the blinkers you're wearing. Y&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are unable to distinguish that Jews were no threat but Islam is. Islam is today's Nazism, but you cannot see that because your head is buried in the sand.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have studied from the Islamic scriptures and have been complimented by experts on the issue that over 100 years of study on this issue combined. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When YOU actually know something about Islam get back to me, ignorant one.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam allows lying, rape and terrorism and here you are supporting it. That says a lot about you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here we see "Y" avoiding the sickening facts that I had just mentioned.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Christopher,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you want an intellectually stimulating discussion I can help - but someone who thinks Islam began 100 years ago reveals your inadequacies.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am copying in a friend who might be able to enlighten you further - we are both former Christians and have an indepth knowledge of the monolithic religions. We can help you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am not sure where "Y" gets that I think Islam started just 100 years ago. Although the usual Muslim elitist attitude is hilarious. Especially from someone who obviously knows little about Islam.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;assalamu alaikum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;i am Y's friend. how are you? if you have any questions about Islam please let me know T&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I already know about Islam, so take the con somewhere else. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;assalamu alaikum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;that is amazing that you know so much about Islam. good for you. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;so why don't you take the final step and become muslim? T&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No thanks. Islam is the enemy of Western civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not interested.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;assalamu alaikum&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Islam is about worshiping God. we don't have any enemies except those who hated us first T&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Of course "T" ignores that fact that Islam/Sharia Law is the enemy of Western civilization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;CL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Right....Islam is about dominating non-Muslims and there is nothing for a non-Muslim to like about that. The &lt;a href="http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/islam-101-religion-of-war_05.html"target="_blank"&gt;"defensive war" excuse does not fly here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will save you some time, I am going to speak out even more now.

Your true friend is Allah, the messenger, and those who believe.... Hear what I'm telling you well. &lt;strong&gt;The Americans are not your friends ... The Canadians are not your friends ... The Europeans are not your friends. Your friend is Allah,&lt;/strong&gt; the Messenger and those who believe. These people will never be satisfied with you until you follow their religion ..." &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;In a 1992 address to an audience of Muslims in New Jersey, Wahhaj expressed his desire to see Muslims seize control of the United States and replace its constitutional government with an Islamic caliphate. “If we were united and strong,” Wahhaj said, “we'd elect our own emir [leader] and give allegiance to him.... [T]ake my word, if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.”&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;CAIR Banquet Sold Out, Congressional Coalition Blasts Anti-Muslim Reps&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic&lt;br /&gt;Relations (CAIR) announced today that its 15th annual banquet on October 24th&lt;br /&gt;in Arlington, Va., is sold out. (The banquet registration site will close&lt;br /&gt;tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern. No tickets will be sold at the door.) &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;At the dinner on Saturday, hundreds of Muslim community members and activists, interfaith leaders and diplomats from Muslim nations will hear addresses by Rev. Jesse Jackson, former Congressman Paul Findley, Imam Mahdi Bray of&lt;br /&gt;MAS-Freedom, and Dr. Agha Saeed, chair of the American Muslim Taskforce on&lt;br /&gt;Civil Rights and Elections (AMT). Muslim comedian Ahmed Ahmed will perform at&lt;br /&gt;the banquet.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;CAIR also announced that the Congressional Tri-Caucus, a coalition made up of&lt;br /&gt;the Congressional Black Caucus, the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the&lt;br /&gt;Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus, released a statement blasting&lt;br /&gt;far-right House members who recently promoted a Muslim-bashing book to&lt;br /&gt;insinuate that Muslims in Congress are "spies."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Congressional Tri-Caucus statement reads in part:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"These charges smack of an America of sixty years ago where lists of&lt;br /&gt;'un-American' agitators were identified. We should be affirming the importance&lt;br /&gt;of diversity and tolerance for all interns and staff who serve in Congress&lt;br /&gt;without suspicion of being identified as 'spies.'&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The idea that we should investigate Muslim interns as spies is a blow to the&lt;br /&gt;very principle of religious freedom that our founding fathers cherished so&lt;br /&gt;dearly. If anything, we should be encouraging all Americans to engage in the&lt;br /&gt;U.S. political process; to take part in, and to contribute to, the great&lt;br /&gt;democratic experiment that is America.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We all have experienced the sting of discrimination and we know that there&lt;br /&gt;will be challenges ahead.

following a pledge made by President Barack Obama in his landmark speech to the Islamic world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will "catalyze and facilitate private sector investments" throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eligible projects would advance economic opportunity and create jobs in areas like technology, education, telecoms, media, business services and clean technology, the White House said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OPIC said sample projects could help foster the development of new computer technology or telecommunications businesses, or widen access to broadband Internet services.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proposals must be submitted by the end of November, and managers of funds that make a final short list will make presentations in Washington in January.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Final selections will be announced next June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In his speech to the Muslim world in Cairo last June, Obama argued that "education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century" and that under-investment was rife in many Muslim nations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;As well as the fund, Obama also said he will host a summit on entrepreneurship this year to deepen ties between business leaders in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=CNG.96323f483e0be9f6a793eaa215ad708a.211&amp;show_article=1"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-67972384034829453?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/67972384034829453/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=67972384034829453' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/67972384034829453'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/67972384034829453'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/obama-offers-millions-in-muslim.html' title='Obama Offers Millions in Muslim Technology Fund'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuMUExlbPNI/AAAAAAAABnQ/uNqfVmqr3kU/s72-c/Obama+pointing+smiling.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-3383587921826863521</id><published>2009-10-24T07:13:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-24T07:23:15.444-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Christian persecution'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Egypt'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coptic Christians'/><title type='text'>Egypt Muslims Stone Coptic Churches</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuMNfgtMrPI/AAAAAAAABnA/AbYF3NT4RiE/s1600-h/Coptic+flag.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;

on Saturday after four Muslims suspected of killing a Copt were kept in custody, police said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unrest began when the prosecutor extended the detention of the Muslims in the village of Dairut who are suspected of killing an elderly Copt in his home last week, a police official said.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Stone-throwing Muslim students and Copts clashed before police deployed in the town, the official added.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The men in custody had allegedly sought to attack the Coptic man's son, who was dating a Muslim girl and was rumoured to have passed out a CD with explicit pictures of her. Instead they found only the father at home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Copts account for six to 10 percent of Egypt's 80-million population.

There have been reports that some of the invited participants would not be allowed to attend these events. &lt;strong&gt;Susan G. Komen for the Cure has now received confirmation that all advocates, regardless of their country of origin, are invited to fully participate in events to bring breast cancer to the forefront of public discussion in the Middle East.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After we received the initial report on the situation, we launched a diplomatic effort to ensure they would be able to participate. I am pleased to report that our efforts led to confirmation that all advocates would be welcome to participate in the events.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Susan G.

At least that is what those on the left tell me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hat tip to &lt;a href="http://www.thereligionofpeace.com/"target="_blank"&gt;The Religion of Peace.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Massive FBI Raid on Islamic Slaughterhouse Mystifies Tiny Illinois Town&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At 8 a.m. Sunday the population of Kinsman, Ill., stood at 109. An hour later it nearly doubled, as upwards of 100 federal agents and police swooped in on the tiny, rural community. And no one seems to know why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The law enforcement officers, including FBI agents, immigration officials and state police, surrounded an Islamic meat plant in Kinsman, cordoning off the area and briefly detaining the plant's handful of employees.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The FBI isn't saying much, and the county sheriff is mum too, leaving Kinsman's residents mystified. The bust, in a town that has no local police force, &lt;strong&gt;involved dozens of vehicles, a pair of snipers and a helicopter flying overhead, witnesses said — but it ended without even a single arrest.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"We're all baffled," Mayor Mark Harlow said. "You know, stuff like this doesn't happen in a small community."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The unusual show of force has residents spooked and has left the mayor searching for answers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"The public reaction is ... are they safe? We don't know," Harlow said. "What are they doing? We don't know. Are they making bombs? We don't know."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Harlow said residents of the town rarely see the five or six employees of the First World Management butcher shop, which provides ritually slaughtered and processed lamb and goat meat for Muslims living in Chicago, 50 miles to the northeast.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some of the workers were handcuffed during the raid, but they were eventually released, Harlow said. He said the workers are foreign-born and live in a trailer on the property behind the plant's meat locker, and they have never harmed anyone in town.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,569185,00.html"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-6465092104235463405?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/6465092104235463405/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=6465092104235463405' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6465092104235463405'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/6465092104235463405'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/2009/10/illinois-massive-fbi-raid-on-islamic.html' title='Illinois: Massive FBI Raid on Islamic Slaughterhouse'/><author><name>Christopher Logan</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17735020058267112272</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuGy5oHaEWI/AAAAAAAABmw/g_eyPrAeg80/s72-c/Halal.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3742875466047705803.post-9175036192652124844</id><published>2009-10-23T05:26:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-10-23T06:05:54.753-07:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Islam'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='terrorist attack'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='American Muslims'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Muslims'/><title type='text'>Muslims in Massachusetts Play the Victim Card</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuGp-jpcGuI/AAAAAAAABmo/nWMtvvuf6QU/s1600-h/Tarek+Mehanna+Boston.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 110px; height: 120px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_IKmlNWItWss/SuGp-jpcGuI/AAAAAAAABmo/nWMtvvuf6QU/s320/Tarek+Mehanna+Boston.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5395780720752597730" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And cue the Muslim victim card..........ACTION!

Kush and Linda Bock TELEGRAM &amp; GAZETTE STAFF&lt;br /&gt;Friday, October 23, 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WORCESTER — Boston television crews were preparing to broadcast live last evening from Alhuda Academy on the latest news concerning a teacher charged in a terrorist plot when a young man slowed his sport utility vehicle and rolled down the window. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Is this the place where they train terrorists to kill Americans?” he asked the cameramen before pulling away. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Similar scenes were repeated outside the East Mountain Street school during the course of the day after word spread of the arrest of Tarek Mehanna, who is accused by federal authorities of plotting to kill soldiers, mall shoppers, and politicians. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The arrest has prompted fear of possible retaliation among area Muslims. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“There's no question that there is a climate of fear building in our community as a result of this arrest,” said Tahir Ali, a longtime spokesman for local Muslims. “There are some who are worried that all Muslims will be viewed as terrorists.”&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The 27-year-old Mr. Mehanna, who taught science and religion to middle-schoolers at the academy, was arrested Wednesday at his parents' Sudbury home. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to court documents and federal officials, Mr. Mehanna was allegedly part of a conspiracy between 2001 and 2008 that intended to kill, kidnap, maim, or injure soldiers and two unidentified politicians who were members of the executive branch but are no longer in office. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston said the men also planned attacks at malls because U.S. civilians pay taxes to support the government and are “nonbelievers.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Mehanna's friends and family, including his father, Ahmed Mehanna, a professor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, were shocked to see him depicted as a would-be terrorist &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“No, definitely not,” said the elder Mr. Mehanna, when he was asked whether he believed the charges against his son. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;News trucks started to line the front of the academy early in the day yesterday and school officials quickly blocked off the parking lot with orange cones. Workers from two security companies were observed checking doors and the alarm system. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Worcester police were called by the school to disperse the gathering media. A police officer dispatched to the school told reporters not to trespass on school property and not to block the driveways. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Imam Abdul Karim, the spiritual leader of the local mosque, appeared from behind closed doors around 2:30 p.m. to deliver a statement. He declined to answer questions and asked reporters to leave because he said the cameras were making students nervous. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SNIP&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“Violence and aggression in any way, shape or form is absolutely against the teachings of Islam that we uphold,”&lt;/strong&gt; said the statement. “Muslims in (the) greater Worcester area have been peaceful and law abiding citizens for more than 50 years. We stand by the judicial system. We are confident that the truth of these matters will surface in due course, and that justice will be served.” &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is unclear when Mr. Mehanna last taught at Alhuda. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Local Muslims said they believed Mr. Mehanna was a member of the Islamic Center of Boston in Wayland. &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.telegram.com/article/20091023/NEWS/910230414/0/FRONTPAGE"target="_blank"&gt;Link to Article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3742875466047705803-9175036192652124844?l=islaminaction08.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://islaminaction08.blogspot.com/feeds/9175036192652124844/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=3742875466047705803&amp;postID=9175036192652124844' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/9175036192652124844'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3742875466047705803/posts/default/
