Israel Bashing Palestinian to run for Texas Governor


Israel bashing, Houston hair care executive Farouk Shami, is throwing his hat into the ring and has stated that he is 100% sure that he will be the next Governor of Texas.

Here is one of his past comments.

"Polls show that our unquestioning support of Israel fuels anti-American sentiment in the Arab and Muslim worlds."


If he wins, I am sure that he will get along just fine with Muslim Congressman Keith Ellison.

Hat tip to Debbie Schlussel, on that quote.

Democrat Joins Gubernatorial race, Says He’ll Spend $10 Million in Primary
November 19, 2009 by TMO

Houston hair executive Farouk Shami says his focus is stimulating economy.
By Corrie MacLaggan, American Statesman

Houston hair care executive Farouk Shami said Tuesday that he’s definitely running for governor and that he’ll put in $10 million for the Democratic primary alone.

“I am in,” said Shami, 66, a political novice whose company sells CHI hair-straightening irons and BioSilk hair products. “I am 100 percent sure I will be the next governor of Texas.”

Democrat Farouk Shami says he’ll put in $10 million.


For Capitol watchers who weren’t paying close attention to Shami’s declarations in recent months that he was thinking of running, his promise of $10 million of his own money might make them listen.

“Nobody else can begin to say that,” said Chuck Herring, president of the Central Texas Democratic Forum, which hosted Shami at a lunch meeting Tuesday.

As of July, the leading fundraiser in the Democratic primary for governor, former U.S. Ambassador Tom Schieffer, had $454,000 on hand. In the GOP race, Gov. Rick Perry and U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison had $9.3 million and $12.5 million, respectively.

Shami, a native of Palestine who arrived in the United States in 1965 and likes to say he’s “living the American dream,” said he’s planning a formal campaign announcement Nov. 19 at CHI USA in Houston.

TV ad Seeks to Recruit Arab-Americans to CIA


Lets be honest here, this is not about bringing more Arabs into the CIA, this is about bringing more Muslims into the fold. This is about our government agencies bowing down to Muslims and Islam, just like the Labour Party does in the UK. 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. Nah, that could never happen.


TV ad seeks to recruit Arab-Americans to CIA
By JEFF KAROUB

DEARBORN, Mich. – There's a swirl of activity in a spacious, modern kitchen as final meal preparations are made.

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.

It's an inviting, if idealized, 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. The agency, in turn, hopes it's an inviting message to U.S. Arabs.

"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.

"Careers in the CIA."

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.

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.

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.

The CIA on Wednesday held a private screening of the commercial and another 30-second spot aimed at recruiting Iranian-Americans. 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.

"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," said Christina Petrosian, chief of advertising and marketing for agency's recruitment and retention center.

Rally For Rifqa Photos

Here are some pictures from this week's Rally for Rifqa, that were sent in by Pastor Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center.

Christian Activists Draw Attention To Rifqa Bary Case At Public Rally

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. Bary fled to Florida during the summer, saying she feared her father would kill her because of her conversion.

Bary is now back in Ohio under foster care. Her case is moving through the legal system. A hearing scheduled for Monday was postponed until December 22.

Rally-goers said they are worried about Bary’s safety if she is returned to her parents.

“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.

A group of Christian activists that traveled to Columbus from Florida wore t-shirts criticizing the Islamic religion. Bary’s parents hope to regain custody.

Investigators in both Ohio and Florida have not found a credible threat to Rifqa Bary’s safety.

My (non) Conversation With Congressman Manzullo's (R-Ill.) Staff Member


This morning I called Congressman's Manzullo's (R-Ill.) Washington office, in regards to his statement that "Islam is a religion of peace." Originally he has speaking about Islamic terrorists and had said this: "These are really, really mean people whose job it is to kill people, driven by some savage religion." Of course he received some complaints and has since apologized. Backing off of his original stance.

I say non-conversation, because he only responded to what he wanted to.

Here is how it went.

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?

Staff Member: OK, sure.

CL: The"Justice" chapter of Reliance of the Traveller
A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law, describes Jihad as the following.

o9.0 JIHAD
(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.


What is so peaceful about that? Please keep in mind that this book has the stamp of approval from Al-Azhar, the highest learning Islamic school in the world. (Sunni)

Staff Member: Ummm......(silence).....sounds like a way of proselytizing. What is your stance on transferring some Gitmo guys here?

CL: Is it a peaceful way? No it is not, and I am only calling about his statement on Islam.

Staff Member: What was your next question?

CL: Koran Verse 9:29 clearly states that Muslims should extort (jizya) Jews and Christians that do not want to convert to Islam.

009.029
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, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

Staff Member: Is there a way you can email us your research? Go to our site and send it to us.

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?

Staff Member: Yes, it is. (He offered no alternative email address.)

CL: Let me read something else to you. From the Bukhari Hadiths.


Volume 1, Book 8, Number 387:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:

Allah's Apostle said, "I have been ordered to fight the people till they say: 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' 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."

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.

033.021
YUSUFALI: 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, and who engages much in the Praise of Allah.

Staff Member: Listen we are not going to go on a Crusade here.

CL: Where did I say to do that? They can say what ever they want, and preach hatred right on our streets. 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 UK with Islam. I am saying that Muslim immigration needs to be ended, as they will never stop pushing.

Staff Member: Hmmm....I understand, thanks for your research and for supporting our position.

CL: I already stated that I don't support your position. I support the first statement, before the Congressman backed off.

Staff Member: Sorry I cannot help you, thanks again and take care.

This is just another case of our weak government wishing to remain purposely blind to the harsh reality of Islam.

The Sharia Push in Sweden


As is other European countries such as the Netherlands, and the UK, Muslims are not looking to integrate into Western civilization. Instead they are looking to bring Sharia Law into Western civilization.

This article was sent in by Varjager, a friend in Sweden whose site documents the Islamic threat there.


Varjager.wordpress.com

...............................
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!

Even the women of Muslim Council of Sweden demands Sharia Laws for Muslim-styled marriages 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.

The goal they have in SMR, Muslim Council of Sweden, is more about protecting Muslims from the Swedish society, rather than promote integration. They just to have to live as Muslims.

Muslim women would themselves deal with marriage issues.


Back to the big topic I want to share with the readers of Christopher Logans brilliant blog, ”Islam In Action”:

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).

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.

Too many of them are living in seperate communities and have no intensions nor requirements at all to integrate. 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'.

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.

The contents of the letter where requirements for Sharia Laws and for a number of other advantages for Muslims. The sender was the chairman of the Muslim Association of Sweden.

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.

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,

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”.

This happened a months ago and this Sunday Mahmoud Aldebe wrote to our biggest newsagency called TT, Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå:

”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. 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.

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.

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.”

Aldebe drop out of the Parliamentary candidacy, Dagens Nyheter

Aldebe hoppar av riksdagskandidatur, Dagens Nyheter

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.

But I am relieved and I think many, many people are too. But the struggle against Sharia Laws and Islamization of Sweden continues, and we vill never give in!


Here are the requirements from 2006, from Muslim Association of Sweden, as a pdf.

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:

”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.

Many Muslim girls finish their secondary education without being able to swim at all. ”

”Communal Swimming-halls and gym communal should be open to separate evenings for men and boys and one evening for women and girls because:

”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. ”

”Including ethical and religious reasons do that Muslim girls should not go swimming with young boys and men.”

”Muslim festivals
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. For the present it is impossible to take time off works to celebrate the feast with the family. ”


As I told before; he wrote an so called ”open letter” to all our political parties and introduce this requirements with following words:

Hello!

If we are to succeed with the involvement Swedish Muslims to participate in elections in September 2006, we should take to heart the following requirements and aspirations of the Muslim minority in Sweden.

I have no way of clear signals from all parties to go to meet this kind of desires. We want to see the most important requirements as part of the political programs. Otherwise there is a risk that the majority of Muslims become non-voters on election day.

Muslims are tired of promises and frustrated desire to have concrete proposals to show that we care. It does not hurt to our political elected or new candidates to engage in an hour and read our open letter sent to all the established parties.

Sincerely

Mahmoud Aldebe

Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.), Bows to Islam


Cowardly Congressman Donald Manzullo has now joined hands with Senator Lindsey Graham. In the past week they both have bowed down to Islam, the religion of war. Muslims keep on pushing, and our so called "leaders" continue to retreat. When cannot win with these guys at the helm.


Lawmaker apologizes after 'savage religion' remark
By Katherine Skiba and Richard Simon
November 18, 2009

Rep. Donald Manzullo (R-Ill.) says his remark about terrorism suspects did not refer to Islam generally.

Reporting from Washington - An Illinois congressman who opposes the idea of moving terrorism suspects to a prison in his district issued a qualified apology Tuesday after a comment that critics viewed as insulting to Islam.

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.

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" and that the vast majority of its adherents are "men and women of goodwill."

He added: "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."
