Obama Warns Afghan President: Time for new Chapter

Did you hear that Karzai? If you do not do the right thing, Obama might just let the Taliban thugs takeover. Oh, he is already on the way to doing that....

Obama warns Afghan president: Time for new chapter
By BEN FELLER

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.

"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."

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.

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.

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. The White House repeatedly said Abdullah had pulled out for his own political and personal reasons.

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.

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."

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.

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. Many Americans have grown weary of the war and are questioning its worth.

Texas: Major Medical Group Bows to CAIR

The Islamic whining machine, the Council on American Islamic Relations, has secured another victory. How much longer will this organization be allowed to bully us from within?

CAIR: Texas Medical Group Apologizes for Hijab Flap, Clarifies Policy on
Religious Accommodation


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A prominent national Muslim
civil rights and advocacy organization announced today that a major medical
group in Texas has apologized to a Muslim job applicant and has agreed to
"clarify" its policy on religious accommodation for employees who wear
religious attire such as Islamic head scarves (hijab) or beards.

Clinic Apologizes for Telling Muslim Doctor She Can't Wear Headscarf

Last week, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR)
reported that a Muslim doctor being interviewed for a position with CareNow, a
medical group with 22 facilities in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, was told that
a "no hat" policy would prohibit her from wearing hijab. She was also
reportedly informed that CareNow prohibits employees from wearing beards.
(Many Muslim men view wearing a beard as a religious requirement.)

A CAIR letter to CareNow noted that Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
requires employers to reasonably accommodate the religious practices of an
employee, unless to do so would create an "undue hardship" on the employer.


In an October 31 e-mail, CareNow President Tim Miller wrote:

"We regret the misunderstanding with Dr. Zaki. We will clarify our policy and
continue to provide training to our current employees to try to prevent future
misunderstandings. We look forward to sitting down with Dr. Zaki and
discussing potential job opportunities. Bright, young doctors like her are
just what we're looking for."

"We are pleased that all current and future CareNow employees will have their
legal right to religious accommodation acknowledged and respected," said CAIR
National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper.

He said CAIR's South Carolina chapter recently assisted a Muslim worker who
alleges that he suffered religious discrimination at the hands of co-workers
after he requested a private place at work to perform his prayers.

Obama Offers Taliban 6 Provinces for 8 Bases

When Obama stated that he was going to reach out to the Islamic world, he was not kidding. The weakness of Obama has lead to the Taliban getting stronger. He has even given the Taliban the OK to participate in the future political landscape of Afghanistan. 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.

US Offers Taliban 6 Provinces for 8 Bases
By Aamir Latif, IOL Correspondent


ISLAMABAD – 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.

"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.

He said the talks, brokered by Saudi Arabia and Turkey, continued for weeks at different locations including the Afghan capital Kabul.

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.

Turkish Prime Minister Reccap Erodgan has reportedly been active in brokering talks between the two sides.

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."

A Taliban spokesman admitted indirect talks with the US.

"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.

"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.

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.

The US Embassy in Kabul denied any such talks.

"No, we are not holding any talks with Taliban," embassy spokeswoman Cathaline Haydan told IOL from Kabul.

Asked whether the US has offered any power-sharing formula to Taliban, she said she was not aware of any such offer.

"I don't know about any specific talks and the case you are reporting is not true."

Provinces for Bases

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.

The Americans reportedly offered Taliban a form of power-sharing in return for accepting the presence of foreign troops.

"America wants 8 army and air force bases in different parts of Afghanistan in order to tackle the possible regrouping of Al-Qaeda network," the senior official said.

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.

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.

These provinces are the epicenter of resistance against the US-led foreign forces and are considered the strongholds of Taliban.

Orazgan and Hilmand are the home provinces of Taliban Supreme Commander Mullah Omer and Afghan President Hamid Karzai.

"But Taliban did not agree on that," said the senior official.

"Their demand was that America must give a deadline for its pull out if it wants negotiations to go on."

Egypt: "burn, vandalize and clean the country of these evil immoral infidels."

As most of the non-Muslim community continues to remain in denial, as to what Islam brings to the world, Muslims of Egypt continue to step up the their campaign of hate against the Coptic Christians there.

Hat tip to the The Religion of Peace.

Egyptian Christians Fear More Muslim Violence


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. 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."

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) .

According to Wagih Yacoub of the Middle East Christian Assosiation (MECA), 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.

Handwritten leaflets (Arabic) have been circulated among Muslims in Dairout for the last two days; 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."

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.

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.

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."

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.

Coptic websites have refused to publish the video of Hagger Hassouna, saying it would be incompatible with Christian ethics.

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.

Rally for Rifqa! Monday November 16Th

I just wanted to alert the readers here that Pamela Geller, will be leading a rally for the endangered but very brave Rifqa Bary, this November 16Th. For those that think that this story is being blown out of proportion, this is what Islamic law has to say about leaving Islam.

From From the "Apostasy From Islam" (Ridda) chapter of Reliance of the Traveller
A Classic Manual of Islamic Sacred Law

o8.0 "Apostasy From Islam" (Ridda)

(O:Leaving Islam is the ugliest form of unbelief (kufr) and the worst.)

o8.1 When a person who has reached puberty and is sane voluntarily apostatizes from Islam, he deserves to be killed.

o8.4 There is no indemnity for killing an apostate (O:or an expiation, since it is killing someone who deserves to die).


The Expiation to Allah for Taking a Human Life

05.4 (O:There is no expiation for killing someone who has left Islam,)

Rally for Rifqa!

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. Some of the warriors coming to our rally.........

Simon Deng - ex-slave from Sudan

Nonie Darwish - Executive Director, Former Muslims United

James Lafferty - chairman of the Virginia Anti-Sharia Task Force

Joyce Kaufman - Talk Show Radio Host

Jamal Jivanjee - apostate, Pastor and Rifqa's friend

Honor killing victims' family members


Rifqa Bary's civil rights are being violated. 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.

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?

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.

Florida: Arson Hits Anti-Islam Display-Video

Less than one week ago, Pastor Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center put up an anti-Islam display outside his Church. The display contained a mannequin of Christian man being hung by a Muslim. During the night some coward lit the Christian man on fire and left the Muslim man untouched. Was the arsonist a Muslim or a leftist? My bet is on the leftist.

NY:Muslim Woman Slashes at Husband's Throat for not Being Islamic Enough

Recently our country has seen an uptick of Islamic threats, and attacks against Muslim women here. This time we have the reverse situation. Islam, bringing out the best in people across the world.

Muslim woman held in slay try of husband; he made her wear sexy skirts and eat pork

BY ROCCO PARASCANDOLA AND JOHN LAUINGER
DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITERS

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.

"It's time for you to die!" screamed Rabia Sarwar as she pounced on hubby Sheikh Naseem, sources said.

He woke early Wednesday to find her straddling his chest and hacking at his neck with a knife.

The burly 41-year-old, a teacher at Susan Wagner High School, overpowered the pretty petite Sarwar, 37, and grabbed the weapon.

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.

"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.

"She is very soft-spoken, very low-key," the woman said. "I would not have dreamed anything like this would happen."

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."

She also claimed that his favorite author is Salman Rushdie, reviled by devout Muslims after writing the prophet-bashing "The Satanic Verses."

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.
