Will Obama Embrace Shariah As Part of His ‘Respect Islam’ Campaign?
President Obama on Friday reiterated for the umpteenth time his determination to develop a "new relationship" with the Muslim world. On this occasion, the audience were the leaders of Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and the Philippines.

Unfortunately, it increasingly appears that, in so doing, he will be embracing the agenda of the Muslim Brotherhood - an organization dedicated to promoting the theo-political-legal program authoritative Islam calls Shariah and that has the self-described mission of "destroying Western civilization from within." . . .

The Radicals Among Us
. . . something dark [is] at the heart of Philadelphia: a prevalent but scarcely mentioned brand of radical Islam that has appeared almost unremarked upon . . . in several of the city’s worst modern moments. And which has, over recent decades, entwined the city from its lowest streets to the pinnacle of public power. . . .

It’s difficult to get a sense of just how big Philadelphia’s Muslim population is. Estimates range from less than 100,000 to twice that many. Its importance is clear, though; Sylvester Johnson, for instance, served as America’s first Muslim metropolitan police chief. [Does this indicate that there are several others in the U.S.?] Along with many other adherents in Philadelphia, he found Islam — or some form of it, at least — decades ago, when the Nation of Islam came to town. . . .

A cursory search did not turn up any US police chiefs ID’d as Muslim. If anyone knows one, or some, or all, in the USA, please let me know by replying to scrivener2007@gmail.com.

The Growing Islamic Supremacist Threat to Virginia
The Northern Virginia suburb of Washington DC has been growing as an Islamic supremacist haven. Amidst the many hard-working Virginians who serve our nation's defense, civilian federal government, homeland security, and commercial businesses, Islamic supremacist groups, organizations, and institutions have quietly expanded and gained members. Northern Virginia has been home to a wide series of Islamic supremacist groups and leaders that have resisted investigations and challenge by the government and concerned citizens. For years, Northern Virginia has long been a target of a network of Islamic supremacist organizations. . . .

Here’s a link to the blog, “Northern Virginiastan” that I found when making a search for “American police chiefs” from the story about Philiadelphia above: http://northernvirginiastan.blogspot.com/2008/05/jihad-watch-virginia-muslim-police.html It's not like you'll probably need to know anything more after reading Mr. Imm's editorial, but I found the blog interesting.

Draft for Racism Meeting Drops Israel Criticism
The United States and the 27-nation European Union have threatened to boycott the April 20-25 meeting in Geneva unless Muslim countries back down from demands to limit free speech that criticizes Islam or other faiths. They also objected to passages that singled out Israel for its treatment of Palestinians.

The draft declaration now speaks only of concern about the "negative stereotyping of religions" while omitting direct references to Israel.

A BIG HOOAH TO THAT! Our men and women in the diplomatic world are still on the job, and this is a huge line in the sand for those encroaching on our freedom of speech here, and everywhere.

Not that everybody is listening (see next article) . . .

Norway Finances Israel-hate
. . . "I want to say for the thousandth time, in my own name and in the name of all of my fellow members of the Fatah movement: We do not demand that the Hamas movement recognize Israel. On the contrary, we demand of the Hamas movement not to recognize Israel, because the Fatah movement does not recognize Israel even today."

And does anybody think HAMAS needs to be encouraged in their hatred? And yet we’re sending $900,000,000 of our tax dollars to them to “help Gaza.” AKA: help HAMAS.
