Terrorism analyst, former CIA officer to speak at UM
Former CIA officer and author Michael Scheuer will give the next installment of the President's Lecture Series at the University of Montana.
In his 22-year career with the CIA, Scheuer served as the chief of the Bin Laden Issue Station and the Osama bin Laden tracking unit at the Counterterrorist Center. He also worked as special adviser to the chief of the bin Laden unit from 2001 to 2004.
Scheuer will talk about how America's political leaders and citizens have generally misunderstood the motivation of bin Laden, al-Qaida and their steadily increasing number of Islamist allies. He argues that Islamist militants are attacking America because of what it does in the Islamic world and not because of the way America's people think, vote, behave, and believe or not believe in God.
From the Center for Security Policy, February 11:
On Monday, February 10, the Fox News Strategy Room presented an hour-long panel discussion on the 'stealth jihad' called Terror From Within.

The host was Heather Nauert.
The panel discusses Shariah Compliant Finance, Muslim Brotherhood front-groups, Lawfare and other issues.

The House of Lords Speech: What Wilders Would Have Said If the UK Allowed Free Speech
Editor’s note: Below is the text of the address that Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders was invited to deliver at the House of Lords on Thursday, February 12, 2009. Instead of making this address and showing his film Fitna, he was detained by UK immigration officials on his arrival at London Heathrow airport and sent back to the Netherlands as a risk to “public security.”
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much.
Thank you for inviting me. Thank you Lord Pearson and Lady Cox for showing Fitna, and for your gracious invitation. While others look away, you seem to understand the true tradition of your country, and a flag that still stands for freedom.
This is no ordinary place. This is not just one of England’s tourist attractions. This is a sacred place. This is the mother of all Parliaments, and I am deeply humbled to speak before you.
The Houses of Parliament is where Winston Churchill stood firm, and warned – all throughout the 1930s – for the dangers looming. Most of the time he stood alone. . . .

Wilders' ban is in Britain's best interests (says the fox to the hen)
His film encourages violence from both extremist Muslims and far-right groups: despite abuse and threats, I stand by my actions
When I found out that Geert Wilders was planning to come to Britain and that Baroness Cox and Lord Pearson wanted to show his film, I wrote to the Home Office, the leader of the House of Lords and Black Rod to say that his presence would lead to the incitement of religious and racial hatred, which constitutes a public order offence.
I pointed out that Wilders is already facing a serious charge in his home country for inciting racial hatred. Furthermore, Cox and Pearson could hardly use an argument for free speech to justify giving him this platform because Wilders himself is calling for the banning of the Qur'an.
Wilders' film, Fitna, takes a lot of Qur'anic verses out of context [apparently, this is a man who hasn't ever read the Qur'an; everything is out of context] and relates them to some terrible terrorist events, connecting them as though such acts are a religious teaching. I thought this would lead to extremist groups from both sides – far-right organisations like the BNP and extremist Muslims – rallying behind him.
No, you thought people have the brains to connect the dots and see the picture Wilders makes. ---DOB

Geert Wilders to sue Jacqui Smith over decision to deport controversial film-maker
Dutch MP Geert Wilders is "seriously considering" taking steps to sue Jacqui Smith over her decision to ban the controversial film-maker from the UK.
The legal action would have the backing of the Dutch Government, in a move which could aggravate the diplomatic row over the ban between London and Amsterdam.
Mr Wilders said he was looking to take legal action against the Home Secretary for "blatant discrimination" in the High Court or International Court in the Hague.

Preserving ‘Harmony’ for Islamic Radicals
A friend, Stephanie, sent this bit of email correspondence with a friend of hers in Britain to me:
Dorrie:
It's worse than you think. I sent a link of Andy McCarthy's piece to my friend in the UK and here is what she wrote me:
Whilst I may not agree with Wilders, he has a right to voice his opinion and I would be interested in hearing his ideas. But we no longer have free speech in the true sense here.
Brown is weak and a terrible unelected PM - if you remember he took Tony Blair's role when T.B. stepped down. The man crumbles regularly in front of our very eyes every time he is on tv. Disaster has a habit of following him around.
I would also add, Ken Livingstone our former Mayor of London entertained an extreme Muslim group a few years ago (can't remember their name right now) who amongst other things were violently anti-gay. For some reason, that was okay.
As from a few nights ago, all emails and telephone calls and texts are being saved and logged in this country. So even our most private thoughts are being monitored. ---Love, A.

Afghan diplomat Mohammed Fagirad charged in all-day wife beating
An Afghan 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 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.
At one point, prosecutors said, Fagirad threw his wife up against a wall, held her there by the neck and then let her drop to the floor, where he beat her with a belt.
Fagirad told police his "wife was a dog and he was going to treat her like a dog," prosecutors said.
When Fagirad left the home, his wife fled and went to the 109th Precinct stationhouse, where she filed a domestic violence report, prosecutors said. She then returned home.
When Fagirad returned, he demanded his wife's cell phone and called police to file a counterclaim, [I suspect that was: "I didn't do it"] prosecutors said.

A Pakistani man has been sentenced to 20 years in prison by a French court for setting fire to an ex-girlfriend who had refused to marry him.

Watch out for Al Qeada
It wants to target America's economy, and it wants to prove it can defeat us.
We're bombarded with bad news -- the credit markets could freeze, millions more could lose their jobs, and today's recession could turn into a depression. But the danger we aren't hearing about could outweigh them all: the increased risk of a catastrophic terrorist attack.
A careful study of Osama bin Laden's videos, letters, and Internet statements makes clear that Al Qaeda's goal is more than to terrorize Americans or to drive us out of the Middle East. Bin Laden believes that Al Qaeda can bring about the economic collapse of the United States -- and to achieve this goal, he has adopted a strategy of targeting America's financial centers and economic infrastructure.

USS Cole Families Press Obama to Open Commission to Investigate Attack
Bereaved families asked President Obama to open a 9/11 Commission-like investigation of the USS Cole attack during a closed-door meeting in Washington Friday.
President Obama was pressed by families of the sailors killed in the terrorist strike on the USS Cole to establish a 9/11 Commission-like panel to investigate the attack, FOX News has learned.
Obama met with relatives of Cole sailors and 9/11 victims Friday in the wake of three executive orders he signed last month ordering the closing of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, where the alleged mastermind of the attack is being held.
The deadly strike is considered a seminal event in the days leading up to 9/11. Seventeen American sailors were killed off the coast of Yemen Oct. 12, 2000, when a suicide bomber rammed his boat into the hull of the Cole.

All 743 members of the upper house were invited, as were the 646 members of the lower house, none of whom attended.

Banning Wilders plays into the hands of our Islamist enemies
The Home Secretary should instead stop the advocates of violence from entering Britain, argues Charles Moore
'The Secretary of State is satisfied" would be a good title for a satirical television drama. It is the favourite bureaucratic phrase used to convey a ministerial decision.
This week, the office of the Home Secretary Jacqui Smith wrote to Geert Wilders, the Dutch MP who had been invited to the House of Lords to present his anti-Muslim film Fitna to MPs and peers there. Miss Smith, said the letter, was "satisfied" that what Mr Wilders said "about Muslims and their beliefs… would threaten community harmony and therefore public security in the UK."
So the Flying Dutchman reached Heathrow on Thursday, but was put on a plane back to Holland straightaway.
It is extremely unusual that an elected member of a European legislature is banned from this country when invited by members of our own Parliament. It contravenes a key democratic principle about the power of legislators to talk to one another, whether governments like it or not.

BBC Fights to Hide Report on Anti-Israel Bias
The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is fighting a court order that would force it to reveal an internal report on anti-Israel bias. The media giant has reportedly spent 200,000 British pounds (roughly $280,000) on the case.
The legal battle was started by attorney Steven Sugar of London, who contends that the report on bias in its coverage must be made public under the Freedom of Information Act. The 20,000-word report is rumored to have concluded that the BBC's coverage was biased against Israel, a conclusion that Sugar says is of public interest.

Washington DC: 150 Attend Anti-Jihad Event
by Jeffrey ImmAnti-Jihad League of America
On Wednesday night, February 11, over 150 Washington DC area residents attended the premiere screening of the film "Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around U.S." at a Washington DC theater. The film screening was sponsored by the Christian Action Network that co-produced the film along with PRB films, directed by Christian Action Network president Martin Mawyer. The film documents the activities of the Jamaat ul-Fuqra organization and its front organization "Muslims of America," led by Pakistani Islamic cleric Sheikh Mubarak Ali Gilani, and their 35 camps around the United States. The documentary references a 2006 Regional Organized Crime Information Center report that states that Ali Gilani is "known as an international terrorist" and that Jamaat ul-Fuqra has "more than 3,000 members spread across the United States, all in support of one goal: the purification of Islam through violence."

"Homegrown Jihad" Documentary Trailer
U.S. Officials See No Imminent Threat From Groups
CBS News has obtained a copy [oh wow, that makes it sound like it's a cloak and dagger operation . . . just go to http://www.christianaction.org/, and you can get your own copy] of the trailer to the documentary "Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S." The film was produced by PRB films, in association with The Christian Action Network.
. . . Officials describe the film to CBS News as "sensationalistic" and without any real foundation. According to one official, it is strictly designed to upset and inflame people and does not present a true picture of any so-called “homegrown Jihad” danger. No current intelligence exists to suggest any threat connected with this group, which officials describe as “wannabes” and not terrorists.
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are aware of the movie and have no plans at this time to issue any new alerts or bulletins.

Pakistan wants more from US
WP report says Gilani emphasised the need to ‘expedite’ new US aid package after meeting with Holbrooke
Pakistan warned US special envoy Richard Holbrooke on Tuesday it expected more from the United States in return for its cooperation against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, a Washington Post report says.
Statements issued by President Asif Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, after meeting with the envoy, emphasised the need to ‘expedite’ a new US aid package, and “the importance of enhanced cooperation in defence and intelligence sharing”. Holbrooke only said that he was there “to listen and learn the ground realities”
In Washington, US officials said that while a revised strategy would acknowledge Pakistan’s crucial role, developing a new relationship was likely to be a long process.

NY terrorist was targeted for assassination
A Black September terrorist who planted car bombs in New York City is set to be released from prison soon. It's now been learned that that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in 1980.
The Associated Press has learned that someone tried to blow up Khalid Al-Jawary's (Kuh-LID' Al-Juh-WAH-reez) Italian sedan in Beirut. Two of his aids were injured.
The 63-year-old Al-Jawary was convicted in 1993 of placing two bomb-rigged cars on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and a third at JFK's El-Al cargo terminal.
And so now we know that Black September isn't just a black-rights group, but an Islamic terrorist group ---DOB

JUST 4 PARENTS FORCED HEAD TO RESIGN OVER MUSLIM ASSEMBLIES
A headteacher was forced to quit after just four parents complained about her plans to scrap Muslim-only assemblies.
Julia Robinson wanted to reintroduce integrated assemblies for her 240 junior school pupils, including 35 Muslims.
After pressure from a small number of parents, a previous head had agreed to separate assemblies for the school's Muslim children.
. . . Sonia Sharp, Sheffield's executive director of children's services, said: "It was not that she felt the separate meetings were a bad thing - but she wanted more community spirit and felt that the work going on in the gatherings could be brought into a wider arena. There was a difference of opinion and in the process, relationships broke down."
Her mistake was in thinking the Muslims actually want community spirit. They don't.---DOB

The documentary references a 2006 Regional Organized Crime Information Center report that states that Ali Gilani is "known as an international terrorist" and that Jamaat ul-Fuqra has "more than 3,000 members spread across the United States, all in support of one goal: the purification of Islam through violence."

"Homegrown Jihad" Documentary Trailer
U.S. Officials See No Imminent Threat From Groups
CBS News has obtained a copy [oh wow, that makes it sound like it's a cloak and dagger operation . . . just go to http://www.christianaction.org/, and you can get your own copy] of the trailer to the documentary "Homegrown Jihad: The Terrorist Camps Around the U.S." The film was produced by PRB films, in association with The Christian Action Network.
. . . Officials describe the film to CBS News as "sensationalistic" and without any real foundation. According to one official, it is strictly designed to upset and inflame people and does not present a true picture of any so-called “homegrown Jihad” danger. No current intelligence exists to suggest any threat connected with this group, which officials describe as “wannabes” and not terrorists.
The Department of Homeland Security and the FBI are aware of the movie and have no plans at this time to issue any new alerts or bulletins.

Pakistan wants more from US
WP report says Gilani emphasised the need to ‘expedite’ new US aid package after meeting with Holbrooke
Pakistan warned US special envoy Richard Holbrooke on Tuesday it expected more from the United States in return for its cooperation against Al Qaeda and the Taliban, a Washington Post report says.
Statements issued by President Asif Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, after meeting with the envoy, emphasised the need to ‘expedite’ a new US aid package, and “the importance of enhanced cooperation in defence and intelligence sharing”. Holbrooke only said that he was there “to listen and learn the ground realities”
In Washington, US officials said that while a revised strategy would acknowledge Pakistan’s crucial role, developing a new relationship was likely to be a long process.

Jury being chosen for Fla. terror trial
Jurors are being selected in Miami for the third trial of 6 men accused of plotting to destroy Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys are making final choices for the 12-person panel Wednesday. They began interviewing prospective panelists Jan. 27 but the ethnic makeup of the panel has been contentious because all six defendants are black.
Two previous trials of the "Liberty City Six" have ended in mistrials, with a seventh man acquitted after the first trial. Prosecutors say they sought to ignite an anti-government war by staging major terror attacks.

NY terrorist was targeted for assassination
A Black September terrorist who planted car bombs in New York City is set to be released from prison soon. It's now been learned that that he narrowly escaped an assassination attempt in 1980.
The Associated Press has learned that someone tried to blow up Khalid Al-Jawary's (Kuh-LID' Al-Juh-WAH-reez) Italian sedan in Beirut. Two of his aids were injured.
The 63-year-old Al-Jawary was convicted in 1993 of placing two bomb-rigged cars on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan and a third at JFK's El-Al cargo terminal.
And so now we know that Black September isn't just a black-rights group, but an Islamic terrorist group ---DOB

Egypt: Secretary of State Clinton to attend Gaza donors meet in Cairo
A senior Egyptian official says Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton will attend an international donors conference in Cairo next month to raise money to help rebuild Gaza after Israel's recent military operations against Palestinian militants there.

JUST 4 PARENTS FORCED HEAD TO RESIGN OVER MUSLIM ASSEMBLIES
A headteacher was forced to quit after just four parents complained about her plans to scrap Muslim-only assemblies.
Julia Robinson wanted to reintroduce integrated assemblies for her 240 junior school pupils, including 35 Muslims.
After pressure from a small number of parents, a previous head had agreed to separate assemblies for the school's Muslim children.
. . . Sonia Sharp, Sheffield's executive director of children's services, said: "It was not that she felt the separate meetings were a bad thing - but she wanted more community spirit and felt that the work going on in the gatherings could be brought into a wider arena. There was a difference of opinion and in the process, relationships broke down."
Her mistake was in thinking the Muslims actually want community spirit. They don't.---DOB

Joe Biden dumps [words] "war on terror" in global PR move
In a rather dull and weak-kneed speech, Biden spoke in soft terms of "a shared struggle against extremism," and of "a small number of violent extremists (who) are beyond the call of reason," as well as the need to seek with the Muslim world "a new way forward based on mutual interest and mutual respect." There was no indication given of the sheer scale of the global battle against al-Qaeda and its partners, and the followers of Osama Bin Laden were mentioned just once—only within the context of Afghanistan. . . .
". . . a small number of violent extremists (who) are beyond the call of reason,"? Our president and VP are living in a swamp of numbers that mean nothing to them, obviously. A "small" number of extremists is estimated (by the experts in this subject) as 15%-25%. Or, using real #s: 180,000,000 to 350,000,000 PEOPLE ready to die for Allah and take as many unbelievers with them as possible. Even at the low end, that's more PEOPLE than voted in the last national election. We're sitting ducks here. ---DOB

Muslims in America: a "voyage of discovery"
"The Muslim world population is 1.4 billion people. By the middle of the century, one out of four people will be Muslim. ... [There are] 57 Muslim countries today. Think of the number," Ahmed said.

You'll note, when reading this article, that there's precious little in here about how the Muslim world has to do anything except continue to get bigger. Why does America need to be able to interact with Muslims? If Islam would pull itself out of the stone age, dump murderous jihad as its 6th pillar, nobody anywhere would need to interact positively or negatively with Muslims. And the whole world would be a lot safer place. Not that that's going to happen. ---DOB

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama says there's "no doubt" that there are safe havens along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan where terrorists are operating. And he says his envoy to the region, Richard Holbrooke, will be trying to convince Pakistan that it is endangered by that situation just as the United States is.
He says Pakistan needs to know that it's "not acceptable" for Pakistan or the United States to have people in that border region who will act "with impunity" to kill innocent people.
Obama says he believes Pakistan's new government "cares deeply about getting control of the situation," and that the Pakistanis want to be "effective partners" in the anti-terror fight. [And I wonder, really, what proof of that he has.]
