Ramifications of a Possibly Armed Muslim Brotherhood
. . . Last summer, the Brotherhood's Deputy Supreme Guide acknowledged there remains an active wing of the organization in the U.S. [which we think of as Homegrown Jihad] which "are part of the American society and they want to an active positive role in it." In response to an interviewer's question, Mohammed Habib acknowledged a "relationship" between CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood.

The existence of an armed Muslim Brotherhood should refocus the way the U.S. government engages the various U.S.-based organizations that are rooted in the Brotherhood. Surely, such organizations that have supportive or operational links to a foreign, armed militant group that is dedicated, through violence if necessary, to the establishment of an Islamic new world order should be high on the investigative target list of U.S. intelligence, law enforcement and security agencies. . . .

Saudi Arabia: USCIRF Confirms Material Inciting Violence
Intolerance Remains in Textbooks Used at Saudi Government's Islamic Saudi Academy
WASHINGTON—Last fall, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom asked the U.S. Department of State to secure the release of all Arabic-language textbooks used at a Saudi government school in Northern Virginia, the Islamic Saudi Academy (ISA). . . .

. . . although it was unable to obtain the entire collection, the Commission managed to acquire and review 17 ISA textbooks in use during this school year from other, independent sources, including a congressional office. While the texts represent just a small fraction of the books used in this Saudi government school, the Commission’s review confirmed that these texts do, in fact, include some extremely troubling passages that do not conform to international human rights norms. . . .

County Planning Officials OK Saudi Academy Plan
Planning officials have approved a proposal to expand an Islamic school with close ties to the Saudi government in northern Virginia.

The Fairfax County Planning Commission gave its OK on Thursday. The Islamic Saudi Academy is looking to expand its Popes Head Road campus in Fairfax, which could allow about 200 new students on the 34-acre site.

Who said “We are the architects of our own demise.”? Whoever it was, I agree.

Arabic Christian Group Sues City of Dearborn After Police Restrict Its First Amendment Rights
Robert Spencer: I received this email from my attorney, William Becker. It is a sad day when American law enforcement officials restrict the First Amendment rights of Americans in order to accommodate Muslims. . . .

District Director for California State Senator Carol Liu (21st District) Served in…
WASHINGTON—Tahra Goraya, the District Director for California State Senator Carol Liu (D-La Canada) was served last week in a federal fraud and racketeering lawsuit. . . .

Goraya served as "national director" of the Council on American-Islamic Relations at the time of the alleged fraudulent scheme perpetrated by CAIR and its national leadership in Washington, D.C. . . .

The complaint alleges criminal fraud and racketeering against CAIR, a self-described Muslim public interest civil rights law firm. The lawsuit also names CAIR's national leadership, including Goraya, as individual defendants. . . .

America is beginning to fight back. Instead of standing passively by, we’re on the offense. Good. Let it happen more and more; take away the one arrow they in their quiver---the threat of suing---and we’re one step closer to our rightful freedoms.

Palestinians Angered by Netanyahu Peace Terms
[Whoa, now there’s a surprise! What? Us get out of Jerusalem and throw away our guns? How then can we kill the kafirs?]
. . . Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter . . . criticized key points in the speech — Netanyahu's intention to keep all of Jerusalem [imagine the nerve!] and his demand for recognition of Israel as a Jewish state, which Carter said would make it hard for Obama to rally Arab support. [Doesn’t that tell you something, Mr. Carter? Like they don’t want peace? They want Israel gone off the map?]

Carter reserved his harshest words for settlements. "If Israeli continues to expand the settlements," he said, "then the prospects for peace will be greatly diminished, if not made almost impossible."

Look in the dictionary for Useful Idiot, and you’ll find Carter’s picture.

Al Qaeda's American Traitor, Adam Yahiye Gadahn, blasts Israel - and own Jewish relatives. . .

Gadahn said he rejected Judaism and Israeli citizenship because he had too much self-respect "to stand in the ranks of criminals and killers who have no morals, no mercy, no humanity and indeed no honor. . . .

And he thinks Islam has any of that? Look in the dictionary for morals, mercy, humanity, and honor, and you won’t find Gadahn’s picture anywhere.

A.C.L.U. Report Says Antiterror Fight Undercuts Liberty of Muslim Donors
The fight against terrorism has dealt a harsh blow to Muslim charities and interfered with their donors’ religious freedom, a new report by the American Civil Liberties Union concludes.

The report says statutes that it describes as overly broad and enforced in a discriminatory manner, coupled with a lack of due process, have starved Islamic charities of money and impeded Muslims’ ability to fulfill zakat, their religious requirement to make charitable donations.

The report is based on interviews with more than 100 Muslim community leaders as well as experts on antiterrorism laws and regulations. Though it gives no estimate of the decline in donations to Muslim groups, it says a total of nine Islamic charities have closed as a result of government action against them since the Sept. 11 attacks. . . .
