Grand Jury Convenes in FBI Terror Case Against Somali-Americans [and their mosque] in Minneapolis, Sources Say
. . . the FBI has been investigating about a dozen Somali-American men who disappeared from their homes in the Minneapolis area late last year and may have joined terrorist groups overseas. One of the men, 27-year-old Shirwa Ahmed, later blew himself up in Somalia. The FBI recently called him the first U.S. citizen to carry out a suicide bombing, and FBI Director Mueller said he was "radicalized in his hometown in Minnesota."

Hurre [the director of the Abubakar As-Saddique Islamic Center in St. Paul [translated: He’s an imam in the largest mosque in Minnesota] said the media attention and subsequent backlash are "destroying our community." . . .

Well, you’ll get no sympathy from me. Communities and countries have been destroyed for 1400 years following Muhammad’s Party of Jihad. Stop complaining about the FBI and other authorities who want to put a stop to jihad and start exposing those who are practicing jihad.

Anti-Terrorism Group Crashes Muslim Day
About 200 Muslim-Americans toured the Capitol and met with lawmakers Tuesday to discuss education and healthcare reform. While the group ate lunch in Capitol courtyard, a coalition of Jews and Christians held a news conference to speak out against radical Islam. Kelly Cook, a spokesman for Act! for America, [yay!] an anti-terrorist group, said some Muslims are trying to fool state lawmakers.

“They want our Florida lawmakers to trust them; well, here’s what violates trust: Islamic organizations that refuse to acknowledge that there are a lot of people in their community of faith who want to hurt America, kill Americans, and impose Sharia law on America,” said Cook. [Go, Kelly!]

Mohammad Sherif, a spokesman for United Voices for America, http://www.unitedvoices.com/
[well, that was incredibly uninformative] said Muslims want the same things from state government that Jews and Christians [do]. “What’s important to do is to have people who understand our view point and understand that we are constituents and that we are not necessarily Muslims that live in America [and you prove that how?], but that we are American Muslims and in this state we are Floridians first and foremost,” said Sherif.

Right. The UVA Web page says it's a political org. If that's the case, they aren't American Floridians first. They are Muslim political activists concealing and deceiving Americans about their goals.

Violent Intruders Attack Brooklyn Synagogues
For the second time in less than a week, a packed Brooklyn, New York, synagogue has been the target of threats of violence by intruders.

On Monday, according to Yeshiva World News, an Arab man in his mid-30s entered Boro Park's 'Sephardish Shul' and began making proclamations of jihad. Members of a Jewish volunteer security organization, the Shomrim, apprehended the threatening individual. They held him until police officers arrived at the scene, arresting the suspect. Detectives spoke with the "Middle Eastern man" at a station house near the synagogue. . . .

"The Taliban are united, have one leader, one aim, one policy...I do not know why they are talking about moderate Taliban and what it means?"

"If it means those who are not fighting and are sitting in their homes, then talking to them is meaningless. This really is surprising the Taliban." . . .

The warning from Revolutionary Guards commander Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari is the latest message from Tehran that it will strike back if attacked.

Tehran denies the accusation and says its nuclear activity is for generating power.

Critic Says Islamic Extremism Gets Whitewashed in American Textbooks
An education expert is warning that some American textbooks present a biased view of Islam and offer a sugarcoated picture of Islamic extremism, a trend that has parents worried about what's being taught in public schools.

In numerous history textbooks, "key subjects like jihad, Islamic law, the status of women are whitewashed," said Gilbert T. Sewall, director of the American Textbook Council, an independent group that reviews history books and other education materials.

But Muslim advocacy groups say students need to learn more about Islam to correct misconceptions [like what? That Islam, the Party of Jihad, doesn't actually employ jihad?] and help turn away a wrongheaded focus on extremism [like which extreme behavior? That the men in the Party of Jihad don't murder or butcher thousands of their women every day?]. . . .

Well, what else would they say? Me, I think I’ll side with Mr. Sewall on this, what about you?

U.S. Muslim Brotherhood [and CAIR and MPAC] Reacts to California Mosque Infiltration
. . . The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has reacted by stating that the use of informants in mosques “stigmatizes” the mosques and erodes trust. . . .

The plan here is simple: cloud the issue, play the victim, threaten lawsuits, etc., so that the fact that the FBI did its job and got damaging information on what’s going on in the mosques is completely lost behind the cloud.

"CAIR is grasping at straws here in trying to give the impression that the FBI has an unwarranted 'perception of American Muslims as a community that must be constantly monitored,' when in fact its spying operation yielded recordings of an Islamic jihadist talking on 'multiple occasions about 'blowing up buildings, acquiring weapons, and sending money to the Afghan mujahadeen.'”—Robert Spencer, FrontpageMag

Pakistani Kidnappers Set Latest Deadline to Kill American
QUETTA: An unknown militant group holding an American working for the United Nations in Pakistan has said it will kill the hostage, John Solecki, in four days if its demands are not met. The Balochistan Liberation United Front (BLUF) gave the latest deadline in a letter delivered to a local news agency in Quetta late on Sunday. Solecki, 49, the head of the office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in southwestern Balochistan province, was kidnapped in the provincial capital of Quetta on Feb. 2 after gunmen ambushed his car and shot dead the driver. . . .

NC Sen. Shaw to Chair Muslim Civil Rights Group
A North Carolina state senator has been elected chairman of one of the country's major Muslim civil rights groups.

CAIR said Shaw was the country's highest-ranking Muslim elected official before 2006, when Minnesota Democrat Keith Ellison was elected to Congress. . . .

Possibility of "Honor Killing" Mulled in Orchard Park Slaying
While Muslim leaders have urged against applying cultural stereotypes to the crime, advocates for women linked the killing to attitudes in Muslim societies.

“This was apparently a terroristic version of honor killing, a murder rooted in cultural notions about women’s subordination to men,” said Marcia Pappas, New York State president of the National Organization for Women.

Members of NOW please take note: "Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them, and send them to beds apart, and beat them." -- Qur'an 4:34

Afghan diplomat Mohammed Fagirad charged in all-day wife beating
An Afghan [Muslim!] diplomat was charged Friday with beating his wife "like a dog" for more than 15 hours in their Queens home, prosecutors said.

Mohammed Fagirad, 30, a [Muslim!] vice consul at the Afghanistan Consulate, brutalized his wife inside their Flushing home from about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday until nearly midnight, Queens District Attorney Richard Brown said.

During the attack, Fagirad bit, slapped, choked, and beat the 22-year-old woman with a belt, pushed her down a flight of stairs and sat on her chest, prosecutors said.

But it’s okay, it’s just a domestic disturbance case. Nobody need worry that Muhammad gave a Muslim man permission for this kind of thing in Qur’an 4:34, as pointed out above. And THAT, not to put too fine a point on it, is what separates domestic disturbance from brutality in the name of Muhammad.

. . .Violence toward women is not just an American phenomenon but here, it is a crime. In many other places, however, particularly in many Muslim communities, honor killing is considered acceptable. A family loses its “honor” if its daughters or wives “misbehave” by running away, dating, not wanting to marry someone chosen by the family, imagined (or real) adultery, and worst of all, demanding a divorce, which Hassan’s wife did. . . .

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) said today that a proposed bill banning head coverings in driver's license photographs would infringe on the First Amendment rights of Muslims who wear a religiously-mandated head scarf, or hijab, and of Minnesotans of other faiths who wear religious attire. . . .

Al-Qazwini dispels ‘bigoted depiction’ of Islam
“This is a real Christian-based community, a small, little town, and I think it’s a good experience for them to see what Islam is,” said Ben Wiggins, junior international business major. “They only really see one side, just Christianity. They need to be open. More people need to be open to more experiences so we do have freedom of religion.” [This young man didn't know we had freedom of religion before he went in?]

“We should not confuse politics with religion,” Al-Qazwini said. “Those who do harm and engage in violence in the name of Islam, they do not represent Islam. [And with that statement brands himself as a stealth jihadist, helping to spread taqiyya.] They have a purely political agenda, yet they are exploiting Islam so they can gain more legitimacy.”

So, apparently, he did not include a lively discussion of the 77% of the Qur’an that is devoted to jihad, war, terror, hatred, bigotry, rape, wife-beating, supremascism — all politically motivated tenets of Islam.

Imam Asks for Appeal to be Rejected
A prominent Muslim cleric is asking a federal appeals board to uphold a judge’s decision last year granting him permanent U.S. residency.

DHS officials argued that Qatanani should not be allowed to remain in the United States because in an application seeking permanent U.S. residence, he failed to disclose an arrest and conviction by Israel during a visit to the West Bank in 1993. DHS also argued that Qatanani was deportable because he had worked as an imam despite not having received a renewal of his employment authorization.

And a judge already ignored all that and said, “Oh, well, let's let him stay”?

CU Muslim Students' Association hosting Islam Awareness Week
The University of Colorado's Muslim Students' Association this week hosts a series of campus events that its members hope will cast Islamic faith and culture in a more accurate and positive light.

CU's Islam Awareness Week opens tonight with a keynote address entitled "Deconstructing Islamophobia" by New York Times best-selling author Reza Aslan.

Well, here’s a plan that would maybe deconstruct Islamophobia a lot faster and better: http://www.jihadwatch.org/archives/017943.php "Help me, Doc, I'm suffering from Islamophobia!"

Wilders' Freedom Party Leads Polls
According to a recent opinion poll, if parliamentary elections were held today, the Freedom Party (PVV) headed by right-wing populist leader Geert Wilders would become the largest party in the Netherlands.

It would win 27 seats in the 150-seat parliament, as opposed to the nine it currently has. The Christian Democrats - the largest party in the governing coalition - would win only 26 seats.

So let us hope the Republicans do as well in the U.S. in 2010.

Was CPAC an Epic Fail[ure]?
. . . That the conservative movement has slid into complete irrelevancy was demonstrated by the absence of any ideas — nay, any discussion whatsoever — of several of the most pressing political issues of our day. As fellow blogger Pamela Geller of Atlas Shrugged observed, there was not a single panel on the War on Terror, the growing threats to free speech, or the cultural jihad underway in the West.

What should have been one of the most important events of this year’s CPAC, the appearance by Dutch parliamentarian and anti-jihad activist Geert Wilders, was relegated to the opposite side of the hotel, divorced from all of the other conference proceedings. . . .

International Islamic organization slams Israeli program on Muhammad and calls again for free speech restrictions
The feelings of Muslims throughout the Muslim world have been hurt [ahh, I am so sorry to hear that] by the unceasing and malignant campaign against Islam and Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). The campaign has shamelessly targeted all sacred beliefs and symbols, persistently slandering Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and disparaging a tolerant religion [?!!!] "embraced" [I suspect that’s more in the eye of the beholder than fact] by more than a billion and a half people. . . .

Raymond Ibrahim: A Response to the Critics: Taqiyya Revisited (Part I)
[Okay, I couldn't very well ignore these 2 articles that prove the whole POINT of the title of this blog, could I?] Having written at length on various aspects of Islam, it is always my writings concerning doctrinal deceit that elicit (sometimes irate) responses. As such, the purpose of this article is to revisit the issue of deceit and taqiyya in Islam, and address the many ostensibly plausible rebuttals made by both Muslims and non-Muslims. . . .

Raymond Ibrahim: A Response to the Critics: Taqiyya Revisited (Part II)
Regarding my recent “War and Peace—and Deceit—in Islam," others have written to me complaining that, by not juxtaposing more “moderate interpretations” to the mainstream ones, I delineated (e.g., Tabari, Ibn Kathir, al-Qurtubi, al-Razi, al-Arabi, et al), I am supposedly “distorting.” While there are in fact “moderate interpretations,” most of these come from minority sects—such as the Ahmadiyyas or the Quraniyuns—who, as they make up a trivial percentage of the Islamic world, and are in fact often accused of and persecuted for apostasy by mainstream Muslims, are definitely not representative of the latter. . . .

Why the Anti-Jihad League of America? This web site is to promote activism between citizens in the "war of ideas" against Jihad and its ideological basis in Islamic supremacism through communications between a league of groups, individuals, and anti-Jihad specialists.

Such an Anti-Jihad League seeks to promote our positions against Jihad and its Islamic supremacist basis to American government officials. . . .

Wilders in Washington: His Speech at the US Capitol
Thank you very much for inviting me. And - to the immigration authorities - thank you for letting me into this great country. It is always a pleasure to cross a border without being sent back on the first plane.

I feel very honoured to have the privilege to speak and to show my short documentary, Fitna, here in this heart of your democracy, here in the US Senate.

Today, the dearest of our many freedoms is under attack all throughout Europe. Free speech is no longer a given. What we once considered a natural element of our existence, our birth right, is now something we once again have to battle for. . . .

Ellison Expresses Concern and Disappointment with Decision to Screen Anti-Islamic Film
Takes Issue with sponsorship of film by Senator Kyl [Well, of course he would. He has to earn the money the Muslim Brotherhood is paying him, doesn't he?]

Congressman Keith Ellison (D-MN) took issue with the screening of a film by the controversial Dutch Parliamentarian, Geert Wilders, in the United States Capitol. The film being screened, "Fitna," is said to compare Islamic terrorism to Nazism. [No, it compares Qur'anic statements to the murderous behavior by Muslims going on all over the world.] The screening is sponsored by Senator John Kyl (R-AZ).

"I am a strong an advocate of First Amendment free speech [until he's not because it speaks the truth]. However, this is not about free speech, but rather an issue of propriety, timing, and venue," Ellison said. "Senator Kyl has every right to host anyone he chooses; however, it becomes a question of propriety to use the United States Capitol as a venue for the condemnation of an entire religion," [which of course Fitna doesn't do. It condemns calls to violence in the name of Allah] Ellison said.

Does anybody have any question that Ellison has been bought and paid for by the Muslim Brotherhood (which paid for his recent hajj to Mecca, by the way. Good going, US Rep)? What else would he say to freedom of speech? He does not, you’ll notice, declaim any of the facts in Wilders’ film.

Muslim prayer-in-school controversy might be solved
. . . “As far as I am concerned the issue is resolved,’’ Sico said. “We did the right thing. The kids did the right thing. No one was making fun.’’

Afsheen Shamsi, spokeswoman for the Council on American Islamic Relations [who else?], which has intervened with the district on Awwad’s behalf, said the accommodation was a correct step. “It’s a question of finding the right balance and making sure the student is comfortable and the district is comfortable,’’ she said.

Uh-huh. But the Christian kids can’t recite the Lord’s Prayer at school. Where is the balance in that?

What’s Behind The Enormous Denial That Beheadings Are Related To Islam?
Hard on the heels of the Buffalo beheading, the mainstream and feminist media hosted many Islamic clerics, Muslim, Jewish, and Christian religious writers, as well as liberal, secular feminists, all of whom insisted that honor killings are no different than domestic violence, that both are crimes, and that honor killings have nothing to do with Islam, just as domestic violence has nothing to do with religion. . . .

Oh, this is serious circular thinking. Read the hadith, the Qur’an, the Sira . . . Women are property. They are expendable. They are collateral damage; no harm done when you kill a couple dozen, you see. But the damage done to a MAN's image if a woman gets uppity . . . well, it's intolerable.

SoCal Muslims Angry at Informants in Mosques
. . . A Muslim advocacy organization [CAIR, who else?] said Friday that American Muslims are feeling "anger, disillusionment, and mistrust" [did they ever actually not feel any of those emotions?] toward the FBI in the aftermath of reports that it used an informant to infiltrate Southland mosques.

Hm. Imagine how non-Muslim Americans are feeling toward Muslims who don’t admit that what the informant said was true. Muslims are not our friends, near as I can figure. And it’s only Muslims who can change that opinion. Instead, they do a head fake and blame the FBI for spying.

The Obama administration has decided to boycott the so-called Durban II conference over ant-Semitism concerns.

Multiple sources on a conference call with the White House on Feb. 27 told JTA that the Obama administration had opted not to attend any further preparatory meetings ahead of the planned U.N. conference against racism in Geneva in April.

Well, all right. But I don’t expect this reality to last.

Yeah, sigh, ain’t it the truth.

Western Michigan U. continues to try to interfere with free speech
[This is a letter I received via email from the Walid Shoebat org. I don't know if there's a link to it.]
Dear Mr. Green,
I am very concerned about a meeting with International Conservatives leader Chris McCann which was held Thursday, the 26th of February with three members of your administrative departments. The meeting which took place I would regard as very troubling and tantamount to intimidation in its content if not its tone. It also reveals the tremendous bias based on the personal views of these particular administrators who overreached when it came to the issue of free speech. Based on case law there is no balance between sensitivity and free speech; free speech trumps sensitivity under the first amendment, so the members of the administration were treading on the side of inappropriate intimidation of a group’s right of free speech by even attempting to ask a student to consider his actions on the issue of content of a poster because of the “sensitivities” of others.

I would like to remind you that Martin Luther King’s views in his day were regarded as “hateful” by the actual haters. I would contend this to be exactly the case in this situation. Martin Luther King’s right of free speech had to be protected when he too came under pressure. It is beyond belief that members of your administration would side with a group of students, probably representatives of the Muslim Student Association, as well as the radical “Peace Center” on campus who we know called Mr. Shoebat and Mr. Saleem “frauds” at an organizing meeting of the International conservatives for this event, and indicated directly by email that they oppose the March 10th event.

Again, similar slurs were used against Martin Luther King, the same as against our speakers, when he was outspoken on civil rights. Former terrorists who are now willing to speak out for their former enemy obviously will evoke a response from those that might support terrorism. You might possibly consider that the people who expressed fear concerning the event might be supporters of terrorism and now use fear as a way of touching the nerves of your administrators which prompted them to call the meeting with Mr. McCann.

Or, possibly even worse, is that some or all members of the administration who called this meeting might even side with the terrorist sympathizers, which is a position that could be construed from their personal view of the content of the posters. I do hope not.

It is incredulous how your administrators would entertain the views of students that would oppose these brave men who now speak out against what all Americans left or right of the political spectrum would regard as evil. It is also unbelievable that they might consider the argument that the poster used to promote the event, while certainly eye-catching and provocative in its title, certainly is not a hurtful message if you are against violence and terror which I hope that the administrators in question would be.

It is shameful that we in America are caving into fear from Islamic extremists who have their propaganda machines at American universities, located right on your doorstep. The very people who speak against the evil are viewed as bad and the people who support the terror are given the ear of your administrators. To pressure a student group to alter its message that wishes the message of freedom to be promoted using the tactic of “sensitivity training,” which was used at the said meeting on February 26, is a disgrace.

I hope that you not only will make it your business to reject the administrators who are causing unnecessary obstacles and the radical elements on the campus who oppose the event or use tactics to undermine it, but will also show support to anyone who speaks out for freedom for this great nation, the freedom of the Western Judeo Christian world which allows your institution, as well as thousands of other institutions similar to yours, to operate with the exchange of free ideas that in itself defines our aspirations as free people of the human race.

The jihadist terrorists wish that this very freedom be taken from us and, ironically, this is one of the topics that Mr. Shoebat and Mr. Saleem will talk about in their lecture on March 10.

I hope that you consider this letter and that if anything is done to undermine International Conservatives rights, including the lack of effort in policing the campus to stop vandals from tearing down posters, as well as enforcing bylaws incorrectly; our organization will use all the forces that are legally disposed to us if Western Michigan University is derelict in its duty on protecting those rights of free speech based fully on Constitutional law of the United States of America. We are already reviewing what has already transpired to examine whether it is within the rights afforded within the United States Constitution under the first amendment.

Yours sincerely,
Keith Davies
Executive Director of The Walid Shoebat Foundation and Forum For Middle East Understanding.
