Muslim Cleric Plans White House Protest in Attempt to Spread Sharia Law in America
Published February 20, 2011
| FoxNews.com
A Muslim cleric who called Americans “the biggest criminals” during a recent interview has announced he will hold a protest outside the White House, according to the Daily Mail.
Anjem Choudary, who once said “the flag of Islam will fly over the White House,” says he will lead a demonstration rallying Muslims to establish
Sharia law across the United States.
Choudary, 43, called Americans “the biggest criminals in the world today” during an interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity this month.
Choudary, who is the former leader of the outlawed British-based group Islam4UK, says the March rally at the White House is being organized by the extremist group Islamic Thinkers Society, which is based in New York.
“The event is a rally, a call for the Sharia, a call for the Muslims to rise up
and establish the Islamic state in America,” Choudary told London’s Daily Mail in an interview.

You don't have a RIGHT to change my Country.

July 4th: Million Man Muslim March on DC "to Unite the Ummah"
"Millions" of Muslims are coming to DC on July 4th, not to celebrate America, but to celebrate Islam. The goal: "to unite the ummah."
http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/....9029970d-600wi hat tip CarolynOne Million Muslims.org is the organizer and presenter of the upcoming One Million Muslim March. The planned event is not to be an actual march, but rather a gathering of Muslims from across the US, at the Anacostia Park in Washington DC, July 4, 2011. The One Million Muslim March will be a gathering of Muslims from across sectarian, ideological, racial, ethnic,language and all other barriers. We will come together to re-establish the feelings of brother and sisterhood among Muslim Americans, and to begin the difficult process of post 9/11 healing. Please visit this website often for news and updates regarding the march.Accompanied by the Islamic supremacist false narrative:Who we are One Million Muslims.org was founded by several Muslims who feel that it is time for Muslims to resolve ourselves to never again be left unprepared for the big challenges that face us and our families and children such as the backlash following 9/11. Nothing made it more clear to us that the Muslim community had almost no understanding of what role we would play in the broader international scheme to demonize Muslims and Islam, and to portray Muslims as enemies of the United States and the West, (supposedly because we hate freedoms), than the most recent spate of Islamaphobia that left several mosques destroyed and several Muslims subjected to violence. There was no adequate Muslim response. Only condemnation and appeals to the government, and law enforcement to protect us. There was no plan of action that was pro-active and aimed disseminating the truth in response to the lies, or using the US courts to silence the illegal defamation, misrepresentation and hate speech.There was no backlash after 911.
No mosques have been destroyed.
The rare incidents of mosque foul play have been committed by Muslims.
But they do want to kill free speech by "using the US courts to silence the illegal defamation, misrepresentation and hate speech."Most of the success of the ill conceived scheme to demonize Islam resulted from the rush to judgment that took place following 9/11, and the failed 9/11 investigation which wrongly concluded that Muslims had carried out criminal terrorist attacks on the US on September 11, 2001.It wasn't criminal, it was an act of war, and it was Muslims who attacked in the name of Islam.At the rally, we will also declare to the world that Muslims are innocent of the crimes committed on 9/11 and we demand a new independent investigation and an end to the illegal wars.Why on the fourth of July?

Radicals bringing campaign for Shariah to White House
'Islam is the solution and … the perfect system that needs to be implemented'

WASHINGTON – Three British Islamic activists are planning a pro-Shariah law rally in front of the White House next week, arguing that it is the solution for all of America's problems.
http://www.wnd.com/images/misc/022411whitehouse.jpg
The March called Shariah-4-America will call on American Muslims to advocate Shariah law, and for Americans to run the country's business by Shariah.
The Muslim clerics are Anjem Choudary, Abu Izzadeen and Sayful Islam, all of whom have been associated with Sheikh Omar Bakri Muhammad's group al-Muhajidoun.
Read about plans for the United States, in "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America"
Sayful Islam says the message is clear: The American dream is a farce.
"The message we're going to present is two-fold. The first is the fallacy of the American dream. The American dream has become a nightmare. The message of freedom and democracy has failed the people it's trying to help," Islam remarked.
"The American people are suffering and are seeing oppression. They need to remove the tyrants of our time. The biggest tyrant of our time is Barack Obama, the American president," Islam commented.
Islam says the second part of the message is Shariah law.
"Shariah is the solution for all of the problems that mankind is facing today, economically, socially, judicially and politically. Islam is the solution and Shariah is the perfect system that needs to be implemented," Islam claimed.
Islam says the activists are starting the Shariah-4-America campaign outside the White House because of its symbolic value.
"The White House is the symbol of America and its call for freedom and democracy. We want to show that the White House is no longer the centerpoint of the world and that everyone can no longer look to it as a sign of freedom and democracy," Islam claimed further.
"It's in contrast to the Black House which is in Mecca in Saudi Arabia. We must make that (the Black House) the focal point of the people. They should no longer look to the White House for freedom, but look toward submission to the creator," Islam commented.
March co-organizer Anjem Choudary says the event will highlight a historic date in Islamic history.
"We want to invite the Muslims and non-Muslims in America to think about Islam as an alternative way of life. What took place in Egypt and Tunisia and what we're seeing now in Libya is people fighting against oppression," Choudary claimed.
"As far as Islam is concerned, oppression is not having put Mubarak in charge or Ben Ali (the Tunisian leader). Oppression is those people who do not survive by the divine law," Chourdary said further.
"Just as Muslims are obliged to call for Shariah in Muslim countries, they are equally obliged to call for Shariah in non-Muslim countries. As the bastion of freedom and democracy and the center of the Western world, it is only appropriate that the call for the Shariah should be there (at the White House," Choudary said.
"We believe that we should be propagating Islam to the British, to the Americans, to the French and other nations because we believe that (Shariah) is superior and that is the way forward for mankind," Choudary also said.
Abu Izzadeen is the third member of the group.
Izzadeen was sentenced to four and a half years in prison in Britain for encouraging Muslims at a London mosque to join the Mujahadeen and fight British and American troops in Iraq.
A report in Family Security Matters says that before this conviction, Izzadeen was deported to Lebanon in 2005 with cleric Omar Bakri Muhammad. Lebanese authorities said that Izzadeen could not have refuge in Lebanon because Izzadeen was a British citizen.
Izzadeen went to prison under the 2000 British Anti-terrorism Act and was released in May 2009 for good behavior.
The Daily Mail reported that a parole violation sent him back to jail in July 2009, but Izzadeen is out of prison again and free to organize the Washington, D.C., rally.
Centre for Social Cohesion Director Douglas Murray explains that Omar Bakri Muhammad was the leader of al-Muhajidoun before he was deported to Lebanon and that Choudary took over as leader of the group. Murray adds that Choudary started another group, Islam4UK.
A story in the British newspaper, The Guardian, says that al-Muhajiroun and Choudary's organizations were outlawed by an order from former Home Secretary Alan Johnson. Membership in either group carries a 10-year prison term.
Murray also says he will be surprised if Abu Izzadeen is let into the United States.
"I would be amazed if the American border authorities allow him in. I think they should obviously not allow him in. Anyone convicted of terrorism in the U. K. should obviously not be going to the U. S. to do the same thing there," Murray stated.
"To give you an idea (of Izzadeen's activism). He was quoted in 2007 as saying, 'So we are terrorists. Terrorists fight the enemies of Allah. The Americans and British only understand one language. It's the language of blood,'" Murray related.
Murray says Izzadeen went on to justify the killing and decapitation of the British hostage Ken Bigley.
"It isn't a matter of him making inciting speeches. It is the matter that he has been convicted of inciting murder for fundraising for terrorism," Murray continued.
The Department of Homeland Security is not commenting on whether any of the march organizers have been barred from entering the United States.
Choudary believes that because both Izzadeen and Islam are British citizens, they should be able to enter the country without applying for a visa.
Choudary also cites the Constitution and the First Amendment principles as guaranteeing him a right to promote Islam.
Islam agrees, also citing America's principle of Freedom of Speech.
"This country (the U. S.) has freedom of speech. Let the Muslims have their turn now. We've heard enough from the West and Western commentators," Islam said.
Islam believes the Muslims have the momentum and the campaign in the U.S. is designed to coincide with the upheavals in the Middle East.
"It's about time the Muslims stand up and raise their call for Islam and the Shariah. What we're trying to show the people is that the tyranny they're facing is man-made. The head of this serpent is the United States of America. They're the ones promoting this all across the world," Islam said.
Choudary says the date of the event is the 87th anniversary of the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire, the last caliphate and the last nation with Shariah law.
"I intend to have with me Sayful Islam and Abu Izzadeen to address the masses on how Islam will solve their problems and bring them out of the hegemony of man-made law," Choudary described.
"The Muslims around the world are currently boiling, rising up and getting rid of dictators and oppressors and part of that oppression is the presence of American bases in American countries, American citizens who are looking after their own interests at the cost of the welfare of the ordinary people in those countries," Choudary claimed.
The British cleric adds that Americans are fighting against the Muslim tide.
"This is not a time for the Americans to have any kind of presence in Muslim countries. They need to withdraw from there and we will be giving that warning as well that the Muslims are arising," Choudary remarked.
"If you want to help them to establish the Shariah, or if you want to help them to develop. That's fine. But if you want to maintain your interests by trying to force upon the Muslims democracy and freedom in our countries, we believe that the Shariah is the way forward and we will be giving them a warning," Choudary stated.
Murray believes that Omar Bakri Muhammad, Anjem Choudary and their followers have always been "problematic" for the press. He says this has created an unfortunate picture in the eyes of the public.
"They are very, very willing to say exactly what it is they want to do and the result is a lot of people have dismissed them as clowns or loud mouths and so-on," Murray explained.
"Conclusive research and comprehensive research by the Centre for Social Cohesion has revealed that between one-in-six and one-in-seven people convicted in the U. K. of Islamic terrorism related offenses in this decade have been linked to, or been members of, this group," Murray detailed.
"So I would strongly advise that the people don't take them lightly. Don't think that it's all talk. Do make sure these people are not allowed into the U. S.," Murray cautioned.
NTEB: Minnesota Under Attack From Sharia Law
This is one the best, clearest-cut examples of how Muslims are attempting to convert America to Sharia law. It is a bold, overt, and aggressive campaign to change the fiber of American way of lfe. The sad part is that it appears to be working.

Do these dumbasses - Shariah4America - actually think we're gonna let them do this?

The Islamic Demolition of the Statue of Liberty
One of the founding principles of the Islamic constitution is to ensure that all sovereignty and supremacy belongs solely to God; the Shari’ah is a practical manifestation of this sovereignty and supremacy because it seeks to establish His command in society.
The status of a nation subsequently does not depend on its number, strength or technological advancement, but rather how much it submits to the commands of God. When a nation seeks to be free from such commands, then ultimately it will meet its destruction.
The Statue of Liberty, designed by Frederic Bartholdi, stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor; representing Libertas, the Roman (false) goddess of Freedom, it is symbolic of the rebellious nature of the US constitution that elevates the command of man over the command of God.
In Islam, the public veneration of idols and statues is strictly prohibited.
This has forced sincere Muslims to develop realistic plans that will aid in the removal of the Statue of Liberty.
Due to the scale of the task at hand, it is highly likely that rigorous safety checks will need to be employed before the demolition of the Statue of Liberty can commence; thus as a temporary measure, it is proposed that a large burkha is used to cover the statue, thereby shielding this horrendous eye sore from public view as well as sending a strong message to its French creators.
Post demolition, it is recommended that a minaret be built as a fitting replacement, allowing the glorification of God to be proclaimed daily as well as act as a powerful reminder of the superiority of Islam over all other ways of life.
You know... I'm sorely tempted to take that site out......
It's now, officially, here.

Sharia in American Courts. Again.
Posted on March 19, 2011 by Delta Whiskey
It wasn’t long ago that we were all assured that there is no future of Sharia being implemented in the United States. Groups like CAIR and ISNA work diligently to calm our fears and to ensure that we harbor no concern for what many have labeled creeping Sharia. There was a significant outcry against the recent ban of Sharia in Oklahoma, and other states have followed a similar path. Opponents of such ban claim it is simply “anti-Muslim,” and mock anyone who tries to express a concern that Sharia may take root in the United States.
Unfortunately, what happened in Europe is beginning to occur in the United States. Until recently, my favorite example of the implementation of Sharia was a court case in New Jersey. Judge Joseph Charles, denied a request for a restraining order on the basis of Islamic law. Because Sharia defines rape differently than United States law, Judge Charles ruled that a the plaintiff had not been raped and her assailant, her husband, was innocent of all charges. There is plenty of information about this case if you are inclined to do some research, but the long and short of it is that a sitting judge in a court that is charged with enforcing the laws of our country decided that Islamic law superseded the laws of our nation.
The biggest defense of this ruling is that Judge Charles did not apply Sharia law, but rather ruled based on the ignorance of the assailant.
Because he was relatively new to the United States, they claim, he was not responsible for his illegal actions. Apparently these icons of tolerance believe that ignorance justifies rape. These defenders of moral relativism argue that the ruling was based on cultural standards, rather than Islamic law. Unfortunately, Islamic law is a cultural standard, and was exactly the standard by which Judge Charles ruled. Fortunately, this ruling was later overturned by a higher court.
This is no longer an isolated incident. Florida has joined the march towards Sharia. On February 23 of this year, a court of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit issued an order which included a phrase which sets precedent for future cases that involve Sharia law.
1. This case will proceed under Ecclesiastical Islamic Law.
By entering this phrase into the official rolls of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, Judge Richard Nielson has effectively acknowledged the validity of Islamic law as a factor in the American judicial system. Unless this court order is somehow overturned or stricken from the record, unlikely in the current political environment, this provides exactly what is needed for Sharia to take root.
Arguments could be made that this court order simply recognizes that the plaintiffs and the defendant have chosen to resolve their dispute amongst themselves. Such arguments ignore the fact that the court, by virtue of its involvement, is complicit in the verdict. Such arguments also ignore the fact that an official court order which states that a case will proceed “under Ecclesiastical Islamic Law” inherently legitimizes and recognizes a system of law other than those by which our country is ruled.
Later in the document it is stated that the case will be presented to an Islamic judge if the parties involved cannot reach a resolution. This further legitimizes a system of law other than United States law, and gives authority to an Islamic judge who is not a part of our judicial system. To say this is not furthering the establishment of Sharia law is ridiculous.
The final nail in this proverbial coffin is the last clause of the court order.
3. The remainder of the hearing will be to determine whether Islamic dispute resolution procedures have been followed in this matter.
In other words, the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit is now part of the mechanism of Sharia law in the United States. Not only will a sitting judge be ruling based on Sharia law as a defense, but he will be ruling on the proper application of Sharia law. He has effectively made the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit an extension of the system of Ecclesiastical Islamic Law.
Did Shariah Law Just Work Its Way Into a Florida Court?
- Posted on March 21, 2011 at 10:56am by Jonathon M. Seidl
A judge in Tampa, Florida is creating a buzz with a ruling some say shows that shariah law is creeping into America. One look at the alleged ruling shows it is suspicious. But is it really an example of shariah coming to America?
According to a document on the website Jihad Watch, Circuit Court Judge Richard A. Nielsen ordered earlier this month that a civil dispute between current and former leaders of a local mosque over who controls funds awarded during a 2008 eminent domain proceeding be decided under “Ecclesiastical Islamic Law.” Below is a copy of the relevant section:
http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/u.../sharia-FL.jpg
http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/u...03/Nielsen.jpg
Judge Richard A. Nielsen
Tom Tillison over at Red State explains the case via a post from Brigitte Gabriel:The current mosque leaders want the case decided according to secular, Florida civil law, and their attorney has been vigorously arguing the case accordingly.“In effect, due process in an American court is being denied and Sharia law is being imposed on an unwilling participant,” Tillison writes. “Right here in Florida.”
The former trustees of the mosque want the case decided according to sharia law.
Here’s the kicker.
The judge recently ruled “This case will proceed under Ecclesiastical Islamic law,” (sharia law), “pursuant to the Qur’an.” [Emphasis hers]
You can read the judge’s ruling here.
Now it’s not unusual for a dispute to arise within a religious institution and for a court to order a mediation or arbitration, in order to resolve this without the court having to render its own judgment.
But what makes this case unusual, and highly troubling, is that a group of Muslim leaders—the CURRENT mosque leaders—who do NOT want to be subject to sharia law, are being compelled to do so by an American judge!
But some commenters over at Jihad Watch don’t think this is a blatant example of creeping shariah. For example, commenter TheSSBlock explains that those involved in the case are simply asking the judge to be an arbitrator (something Tillison’s post recognizes), and that isn’t cause for alarm:This isn’t the imposition of Islamic Law per se. Arbitration agreements (contracts) between parties are regularly taken to Civil Courts for enforcement in cases of dispute. Parties who agree to arbitrate have willingly chosen a method of dispute resolution outside of the court system. Arbitrators do not have to follow state or federal laws in making their decisions – or any recognized law at all.TheSSBlock is correct to point out that the case is a civil, not a criminal, one. But there still seems to be a lot of questions. So we called the Circuit Court clerk in Hillsborough County, Florida. A representative there referred us to Judge Nielsen’s judicial assistant, so we called her, too. We did talk to that assistant, but she refused to comment on the case. Instead, she took our name and number and said she would try and have someone get back to us.
Although not truly unlimited, if two parties agree to arbitrate their disputes, for all intents and purposes, they can bind themselves to an outcome under almost any system of law, of any religion, or any procedure. Unless a party can show fraud, duress, or coercion, an arbitration agreement functions like any contract which a court must uphold so long as it is clear, unambiguous, and freely negotiated. Consequently, a party may also have a cause of action in questioning the neutrality of the arbitrator or if no meaningful procedure was followed to guarantee a just result.
Upholding Islamic law agreed upon through arbitration is not really a problem. A problem would arise however, if, absent any agreement, the court attempted to invoke Islamic law on its own initiative, which of course it is not permitted to do.
We’ll keep you updated.
The Odyssey of Islamism in America
Sunday, 31 October 2010 06:47 Amil Imani
by Amil Imani, American Thinker
Islamism is a mutation of Islam and is rapidly advancing on two fronts. In every Islamic country, it is cowing the non-radicals while recruiting more and more radicals into its ranks. In non-Muslim lands, flush with petrodollars, Islamism is establishing itself as a formidable force by enlisting the disaffected and attracting the delusional liberals with its promises. For the faithful, there is the added incentive of Allah's heaven and its irresistible attractions.
Wherever Islam goes, so goes its ethos. Throwing acid in the face of women who fail to don the hijab (or who just go to school), flogging people for sporting non-Islamic haircuts, and stoning to death violators of sexual norms are only a few examples of a raft of daily barbaric acts of Islamists in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran.
Other forms of Islamic brutalities such as honor killing have already found their way to America, Germany, and other European countries with ever-burgeoning Muslim populations.
Reading about these religiously mandated horrific acts and even seeing them on television or the internet may momentarily repulse, but the acts do not terribly concern many Americans on the whole. After all, those things are happening on the other side of the world, and those people deserve each other; we are safe in fortress America. So goes the thinking.
But "Fortress America" is a delusion that even the events of 9/11 seem to have failed to dispel. Many prefer to believe that the assault of 9/11 was an aberration, since nothing like it has happened since, and it is unlikely that anything of the sort will ever happen again. So goes the wishful thinking. The reality portrays a vastly different picture. America is far from a fortress, given its vast wide-open borders. It is a nation of laws where all forms of freedom are enshrined in its Constitution; it's where Americans live by a humane ethos diametrically different from Islamist savagery. Sadly, these differences confer a great advantage to the Islamists and place America in imminent danger.
The breach of "Fortress America" from the air on 9/11 is only the first installment of many more forthcoming heinous assaults -- unless we abandon our complacency, stop relying on the invincibility of the law enforcement people, and willingly make the sacrifices that will protect our way of life.
Knowing Islam intimately and having experienced its systemic savagery have compelled me to warn repeatedly of the deadly, imminent threat it poses to all non-Muslims ("Why Confront Islamism") attempting to present a comprehensive treatment of the evil precepts and practices of Islamism. I am listing a few facts that should be enough to alarm anyone who cherishes liberty and freedom and to awaken anyone who is comforted by the belief that all the Islamic mayhem is limited to an illiterate gang of primitive Middle-Easterners and has no implications for America. Sorry, bad news is here already.
- Some 26 percent of American Muslims aged 18-29 support suicide bombings "in defense of Islam," according to findings of a recent Pew poll.
According to Pew, there are 2.35 million Muslims in America, 30 percent of whom are in the 18-29 age range. Some claim that the number of Muslims is in fact much larger. Even using the conservative Pew numbers, over 180,000 Muslims in America are bomb-approving. This is an alarmingly large number, given that Muslims, as an article of faith, practice dissimulation in dealing with infidels and under-report their true intentions. How many human bombs and bomb-approving people does it take to wreak havoc on our country?
- The 180,000 Muslims living among us don't define what "defense of Islam" is. It could be anything that they feel constitutes an attack on Islam and Islamic values, such as the reported flushing of the Quran down the toilet, the Danish cartoon, Rushdie's book, a newspaper article, an internet posting, or even women not donning the hijab.
When religious fanatics unreservedly advocate wanton acts of mass murder, they are not likely to shy from coercion and intimidation measures to impose their will on the larger society. In tandem with the cold murder of Theo Van Gough in Holland, for instance, Islamists had been striving to supplant civil laws with the Islamic Sharia in the country. In other lands such as France, England, and Canada, Muslims have also been waging serious campaigns for adoption of the Sharia or some of its provisions, just for starters.
http://www.rightsidenews.com/images/..._school_01.jpg
In 2001, the Islamic Society of North America published a brochure that was sent to public school teachers and administrators. "You've Got a Muslim Child in Your School" spells out some of the basics of Islam and specifies some of the restrictions. One section reads:
On behalf of the Islamic Society of North America, the largest organization of Muslims in the United States and Canada, we would like to request that in view of the above teachings of Islam, Muslim students in your school system should not be required to:
1) Sit next to the opposite sex in the same classroom;
2) Participate in physical education, swimming or dancing classes. Alternative meaningful education activities should be arranged for them. We urge you to organize physical education and swimming classes separately for boys and girls in accordance with the following guidelines:
- Separate classes for boys and girls in a fully covered area
- Only male/female instructors for the respective group
- Special swimming suits that cover all the private parts of the body down to the knee
- Separate and covered shower facilities for each student
3) Participate in plays, proms, social parties, picnics, dating, etc. which require free mixing of the two sexes;
4) Participate in any event or activity related to Christmas, Easter, Halloween or Valentine's Day. All such occasions have religious and social connotations contrary to Islamic faith and teachings. We also urge you to ensure that the following facilities are available to Muslim students in your school:
1) They are excused from their classes to attend off-campus special prayers on Fridays (approximately 1:00 to 2:00 P.M.).
2) They are excused for 15 minutes in the afternoon to offer a special prayer in a designated area on the campus. The prayer is mandatory for all Muslims and often cannot be offered after the school hours.
3) All food items containing meat of a pig in any form or shape, as well as alcohol, should be clearly labeled in the cafeteria.
4) At least one properly covered toilet should be available in each men's and women's room.
5) Muslim students are excused, without penalty of absence, for the two most important festivals of Islam: Eid Al-Fitr and Edi Al-Adha, in accordance with the lunar calendar."
Ever since 9/11, and possibly before, America has been concerned about terrorists coming from Islamic lands. For this reason, some people advocated profiling as a safeguard against the 9/11-type mass murderers. But how do you profile hundreds of thousands of Muslim Americans who are already here and look and act like other Americans? How can an open, free society such as ours safeguard the individual freedom we so greatly value and protect the safety of its citizens?
The immensely difficult task of safeguarding our freedom while ensuring our safety is seriously and repeatedly undermined by Islamist apologists, pontificating academes, vote-hungry politicians, and the mainstream media, each for their own reasons.
Here are some of the comfort pills dispensed by the mainstream media's polls: "Most Muslims seek to adopt American lifestyle" (U.S. Today); "Muslims assimilate better in U.S. than Europe, poll finds" (New York Times); Poll: "US Muslims Feel Post-9/11 Backlash Despite Moderate Outlook" (Voice of America).
It is said that there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. The mainstream media's manipulation of statistics goes beyond selective reporting and qualifies as outright disinformation. Is the U.S. Muslims' outlook moderate? All U.S.Muslims? What about the self-reported outlook of hundreds of thousands who support mass murder in the "defense of Islam"?
Even if most Muslims seek to adopt an American lifestyle, a great many Muslims are dead-set on using violence to make America conform to their barbaric way of life. Islamism is cancer. Cancer cells are always few at the beginning, and if they are left unchecked, they keep on multiplying, eventually devouring the non-cancerous.
Why all the fuss about "moderate Islamism"? After all, mild Islamism is not all that bad, and they are coming to power through free elections, the leftists keep preaching. In reality, even coining the term "mild Islamism" is a clear instance of the leftists' treachery. Being mildly Islamist is as plausible as being mildly pregnant. There is no such a thing as mild Islamism. It only starts mildly, just the way Muhammad himself started it in Mecca. Then it builds momentum and settles for nothing less than the total imposition of its dogma and will. Being mildly Islamist is only the head of the camel poking into the tent. Wherever the head of the animal goes, if it is not chopped off, the body eventually follows. And Islam's is a disease-bearing body that will infect the healthy secular societies.
As is the case with cancer cells, it is the malignant minority that is death-bearing.
In the Germany of the 1930s, for instance, very few people were Nazis, and most Germans dismissed them as a bunch of hotheaded fools. Before long, the hotheaded few cowed the dismissive masses, and as a result, millions lost their lives.
Escalations of demands, intolerance of differences, and contempt for non-Muslims are hallmarks of Islam. The deluded liberals as well as the publishers among the leftists are destined to be among the very first victims of mild Islamism as it gathers power.
Mild Islamism may indeed be a minority in America. Yet this deadly cancer has metastasized throughout all fifty states and is attempting to devour Michigan, with Dearborn as its capital. Urgent confrontation of this advancing disease is imperative to stave it off. We must resist the intrusion of this seventh-century mentality into our country and our way of life. We must do all we can to protect our precious freedom. Here is the question: Do we, in America and the West, have the sense and the will to forestall mild Islamism from evolving into a real Islamism?
http://www.rightsidenews.com/images/...sn_work_01.jpg
Just a sobering note: mild Islamism is already here in our country. The Muslim cab drivers of the Minneapolis Airport refusal to ferry passengers with alcohol or even those with seeing-eye dogs. Muslim inmates demand to be served only halal food.
Campbell's Soup caters to Islam, Muslim students badger universities for special facilities for their meetings, and the first-ever Muslim congressman assumed office by swearing on the Quran and not the Bible. A New Jersey school district recognizes Muslim holidays, and much more.
Along with Saudi Arabiaand the Islamic Republic of Iran-funded mosques, there are other infrastructures supporting sharia law:
Assembly of Muslim Jurists of America
Sharia Academy of America
Sharia Board of America
Islamic Supreme Council of America
Islamic American University
Government agencies at the city/state level have started abiding by sharia law:
Minneapolis Community Planning and Economic Development Department
http://www.rightsidenews.com/images/...idenews_01.jpg
The Alternative Financing program provides small Minneapolis businesses (neighborhood retail, service or light manufacturing) an alternative financing to the interest-based system that is in accordance with Islamic law, or Sharia.
"At the federal level, taxpayer dollars to bailout sharia-promoting AIG."
Further, the University of Wisconsin Law School published research that stated, "American judges have been judging Muslim divorces in state courts for years, creating a body of case law that...involves Islamic family law doctrines ..."
"And courts in Texas have referred cases to Texas Islamic Court are just a few examples for the lemmingswho are coming out in force to support Islamic sharia law."
Well, mild Islamism is not all that obtrusive, since it is similar to the early stages of cancer. Yet cancer it is. And before long, the full-blown cancer will develop. If we do not want to deal with that beast, we need to take drastic measures to eradicate the disease, no matter how unpleasant and unpopular they may be.

Judge orders use of Islamic law in Tampa lawsuit over mosque leadership
By William R. Levesque, Times Staff Writer

TAMPA — The question of what law applies in any Florida courtroom usually comes down to two choices: federal or state.
But Hillsborough Circuit Judge Richard Nielsen is being attacked by conservative bloggers after he ruled in a lawsuit March 3 that, to resolve one crucial issue in the case, he will consult a different source.
"This case," the judge wrote, "will proceed under Ecclesiastical Islamic Law."
Nielsen said he will decide in a lawsuit against a local mosque, the Islamic Education Center of Tampa, whether the parties in the litigation properly followed the teachings of the Koran in obtaining an arbitration decision from an Islamic scholar.
The suit was filed by several men who say they were improperly ousted as trustees in 2002. The dispute may decide who controls $2.2 million the center received from the state after some of its land was used in a road project.
But attorney Paul Thanasides last week appealed Nielson's decision with the 2nd District Court of Appeal, saying religion has no place in a secular court.
His client: the mosque.
"The mosque believes wholeheartedly in the Koran and its teachings," Thanasides said Monday. "They certainly follow Islamic law in connection with their spiritual endeavors. But with respect to secular endeavors, they believe Florida law should apply in Florida courts."
The four ex-trustees suing the center did not return calls for comment. And attorneys representing them declined comment.
Nielsen, an appointee of Gov. Jeb Bush in 2000 who was subsequently elected, also did not return calls for comment.
The judge's ruling comes as conservative lawmakers in Florida and around the nation are increasingly discussing legislation to ban or curtail the use of Islamic law, sometimes called sharia law, in U.S. courts.
Two Florida Republicans, Sen. Alan Hays and Rep. Larry Metz, this month announced legislation to prevent Islamic law, or any foreign legal code, from being applied in state courts.
The Tampa case is drawing attention from some who cite it as proof judges are improperly using foreign law.
"Florida has joined the march towards Sharia," a writer on the Constitution Club blog said.
Markus Wagner, a professor of international law at the University of Miami School of Law, said it is not improper for a judge to use foreign law in an arbitration if all the parties agree to do so.
"If we both sign a contract agreeing to be governed by German law, then Florida courts will interpret German law," he said.
Others are less certain, including Neelofer Syed, a Tampa immigration lawyer who is a guest lecturer on Islamic law at Stetson University College of Law.
The mosque, she said, is incorporated under the laws of Florida and so is ruled by state law.
"I think the judge's ruling is flawed," Syed said. "If you live in a country, you are subject to that country's laws."
Just about everything involving the arbitration is in dispute.
An a'lim, a Muslim scholar trained in Islam and Islamic law, said the parties agreed to his arbitration if the lawsuit against individual trustees was dismissed. This occurred, though the ousted trustees then re-filed against the mosque itself.
Thanasides said the mosque's directors would have to appoint a representative to participate in any legally binding arbitration.
That, he said, didn't happen because the board was never notified of the arbitration.
Thanasides said the arbitration was not binding on the mosque for a litany of reasons. He said the mosque was not properly notified of the proceeding and did not participate. He questioned whether the a'lim had proper standing to decide anything.
He also questioned whether the arbitration actually took place, noting two participants the a'lim said were present were overseas at the time.
The a'lim ruled in a Dec. 28 decision that the ex-trustees were ousted improperly.
The ex-trustees then asked Judge Nielsen to enforce the arbitration award, which could wrest control of the money from the mosque's current leaders.
Thanasides said using Islamic law to decide the issue violates the U.S. Constitution. He said existing Florida law governs arbitration findings. At a hearing in January, Nielsen disagreed.
"It appears that the Koran provides that where two or more brothers have a dispute, they are first required to try to resolve the dispute among themselves," the judge told attorneys, according to a transcript of proceedings.
"If that does not occur, they can agree to present the dispute to the greater community of brothers within the mosque or the Muslim community. And if that is not done, or does not result in a resolution of the dispute, then it is to be presented to an Islamic judge …
"The next question is whether the proper procedures have occurred. … Did they properly invoke the use of … an Islamic judge or an Islamic A'lim?"
In an appeal of the judge's decision, Thanasides wrote, "The First Amendment restricts courts' authority to review, interpret and apply religious law because these actions interfere with a party's right to choose, free from state involvement, the religious dogma it will follow."
The judge said he would use Islamic law to decide only the legitimacy of arbitration.
"What law would we be applying (at) trial?" Thanasides asked.
"That trial would be civil law," the judge said. "Florida law."

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin has announced plans to hold congressional hearings on the civil rights of American Muslims.
The assistant Senate majority leader said the hearings will be held Tuesday at the Dirksen Senate Office Building in Washington. The hearing will be held before the Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights and Human Rights.
In announcing the hearing, the Illinois Democrat said the Constitution protects the free exercise of religion for all Americans. In noting a spike in anti-Muslim bigotry, Durbin added it is important for the current generation to renew the founding fathers' commitment to religious diversity.
Durbin's proposed hearing follows that earlier this month of New York Rep. Peter King of the House Homeland Security Committee, who said he was looking Muslim extremism in the U.S.

Pakistan takes up Florida Quran desecration with UN
By ANI | ANI – Wed, Mar 23, 2011 12:46 PM SGT
United Nations, Mar 23(ANI): Pakistan has taken up the "despicable act" of desecration of the Holy Quran in Florida with the United Nations, and urged it to take urgent steps to promote inter-faith harmony in the wake of increasing acts of Islamophobia.
In a letter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Pakistan's Permanent Representative Ambassador Abdullah Hussain Haroon voiced his country's strong condemnation of the burning of the Islamic holy book, and expressed "profound regret and deep concern" at the growing trend of Islamophobia, intolerance and hatred towards Muslims as well as insults to their religious symbols and personalities.
Controversial American pastor Terry Jones, who last year cancelled a plan to burn copies of the Koran to mark the anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States after international condemnation, oversaw the burning of a copy of the Quran at his small Florida church on Sunday after the Islamic revered book was put on trial.
"While this reprehensible act is the work of extremists and is evidently designed to provoke dissent and discord among communities and peoples across the world, such sacrilegious acts also go against the very concept of inter-faith harmony and threaten the multicultural fabric of the societies and the brotherhood of the United Nations," The Nation quoted Haroon's letter, as saying.
Pakistan believes that civilised people and societies must resist and oppose any tendency towards extremism of any kind, said Haroon, adding that Pakistan expects that the US administration and American people as well as all civilised societies will take due cognisance and express their revulsion against this sacrilegious act.
The Ambassador also urged the UN to play its important role in ensuring peace and harmony among people across the world, adding that Pakistan has full confidence in the UN leadership and hopes that it will take all steps to fight such tendencies and promote intercultural and inter-faith harmony.
Meanwhile, the US Embassy in Islamabad has condemned the burning of a copy of the Holy Quran in Florida, and said that it is an isolated act done by a small group of people that is contrary to American traditions.
"It does not reflect the general sentiment of respect toward Islam by the people of the United States," the embassy said in a press release.
"The deliberate destruction of a holy book is an abhorrent act," said Ambassador Cameron Munter, adding, "The US commitment to freedom of religion and freedom of expression goes back to the founding of our nation and is enshrined in the Constitution. We absolutely reject religious intolerance in any form." (ANI)
Herman Cain Digs Deeper On Fox: Many Muslims ‘Are Not Dedicated To This Country’
» 26 commentsby Matt Schneider | 5:34 pm, March 28th, 2011

Potential Republican candidate for President Herman Cain wasted no time attempting to clarify his earlier statement regarding Muslims not being allowed in his administration. Appearing with Neil Cavuto, Cain backpedaled slightly from his prior position, but more eagerly stressed that “being politically correct isn’t something I’m going to spend a whole lot of my time worrying about.”
Cain admits he did say the controversial comments, yet hints that the reporter left out some potentially exculpatory details:“The reporter didn’t tell you this, I would have to have people totally committed to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of this United States.It’s hard to tell what is stranger, that it seems Cain is digging himself into a deeper hole or that he somehow thought the statement that Muslims are not dedicated to this country would put his prior statement into a reasonable context?
And many of the Muslims – they are not totally dedicated to this country, they are not dedicated to our Constitution. Many of them are trying to force Sharia law on the people of this country.”
But don’t worry, he’s not done digging. Cain also argues he would prefer not having Muslims on his cabinet because “I don’t have time to be watching someone on my administration if they’re not totally committed . . . to the laws of this country.”
And finally Cain says, “so far I have not come across or I don’t have acquaintances with people who have professed the Muslim religion that are on the list of people that I would consider” for a position.
As for the promised clarification, after Cavuto pressed further, Cain finally did admit that he is “not saying never, never, never” would he allow someone of Muslim faith to serve in his administration.
I like him. Good on him. He's got my vote so far.
Sen. Durbin’s Muslim Civil Rights Hearing
03-29-2011 by L. S. Carbonell
http://lezgetreal.com/wp-content/upl...o1-150x150.jpg
Senator Richard Durbin, Democrat of Illinois
Shortly after 9-11, a Sikh was shot down on an American street. He was killed because he was wearing a turban, something not normally worn by Muslims. Sikhs are not Muslims. They are Sikhs, a religion that originated in the Punjab region of India and whose followers believe in the equality of humankind, the universal brotherhood of man and One Supreme God.
This man died for the same reason a Russian-born shop keeper died in Vermont after the terrorist bombing of the Marine barracks in Lebanon – blind hatred.
It is crimes like this, not ever directed at the actual group that might be blamed for attacks on Americans, that were the reason Illinois Senator Richard Durbin held hearings on Tuesday in his Judiciary subcommittee. The hearing was shorter, had less security and was less heated than the hearing held a few weeks ago by the House Homeland Security Committee, chaired by New York’s Rep. Peter King on the “epidemic” he sees in the radicalization of American Muslims by the “80%” of mosque imams King claims are “radicals.” Most of the subcommittee’s members passed on attending.
South Carolina’s Senator Lindsey Graham, the ranking Republican on the committee, said in his opening remarks, “This is a hearing that we need to have, quite frankly. It tackles “a difficult issue – what does it mean to practice religion in America?”
Graham went on to say that it means standing up for each other’s rights because “if I don’t stand up for yours, you won’t stand up for mine.” Graham is not particularly popular on the Tea Party/Christian right circuit.
Senate Minority Leader John Kyl of Arizona, who stands at the right hand of Mitch McConnell, preferred to echo Rep. Peter King, saying “If we’re concerned about the most egregious hate crimes…” we should concentrate on crimes against Jews and Christians which outnumber crimes against Muslims. “Political correctness cannot stand in the way of stopping those who would so us harm.” Maybe Kyl and King after subtracting the Muslims who died in the planes and on the ground. King criticized the Durbin hearings in a Washington Post interview last week, saying they “could perpetuate this myth of victimhood among the Muslim community. There are still nine times more attacks against Jews then there are against Muslims. We don’t live in a perfect country, but certainly Muslims aren’t the number-one victims in the country.” He failed to add that it isn’t Muslims who are attacking Jews on a nine-to-one ratio. It’s Christians who are being fed a bunch of bull about the New World Order.
Witness Thomas Perez, Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, testified that since 9-11, the Department of Justice has investigated over 800 incidents against persons believed to be Muslims. Of the 50 charged with these crimes in 37 incidents, 45 have been convicted.
Senator Graham complained that the Justice Department has “overreached” on some cases, particularly the case of a math teacher who was fired for going on Haj to Mecca, a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for Muslims. Graham did this in front of Kyl, who whined last December that he wasn’t being allowed to go home early for Christmas, one of the two most important events in the “Christian calendar.”
Graham claimed that the case will do more harm than good, without explaining how.
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, former archbishop of Washington, drew parallels between the situation for modern Muslims and the position of Irish Catholics in the past, a real slap shot at King, who openly supported the IRA and claims his support of terrorists isn’t in the same classification. McCarrick said that “Catholics have been explicit targets of the Ku Klux Klan and the Know Nothing Party. The very idea of a Catholic in the White House was questioned. Because of this history, we cannot help but be sensitive to the experiences of other religious groups who suffer prejudice, bias and discrimination.” It would probably take the Second Coming to get Peter King to see that.
Senator Kyl went after witness Farhana Khera, former counsel to this committe. He attacked her website, Muslim Advocates, for telling Muslims not to speak to law enforcement without a lawyer. Kyl read a list of American Muslims who are facing criminal charges, without saying if those charges were terror-related. Khera responded “I fully understand the threat that we are facing. Those who engage in criminal acts must be stopped and brought to justice and every American has a civic duty to report criminal activity to law enforcement.” But, she continued, “Every American has the right to seek legal advice.” The legal system is complex and immigrants always have a problem with it. Native born citizens have problems with it. Quick, run the Miranda warning in your head….you nailed it, didn’t you? Or do you not watch cop and detective shows on television? It’s that easy not to know the Miranda and what it means.
There is a reason the FBI needed an $8 million increase in their budget in 2009 and why the Southern Poverty Law Center reports that hate groups have spiked in the triple digits, and it isn’t what Peter King and John Kyl think – it has nothing to do with real attacks on Americans by Muslim extremists. The spike is caused by the hate and fear mongering in the right wing crazy-sphere.
Among the 80 or so people who lined up in the halls to fill the gallery was a student, Patricia Hsu, a human rights intern in Washington from Claremont McKenna College. She noted that while Americans are not imprisoned for their political beliefs, human rights is still an issue. “With ethnic and cultural minorities, it’s easy to be marginalized even fi the laws are there to protect you.” Also in line was an administration advisor, Rev. Welton Gaddy fo the Interfaith Alliance. He contrasted the Durbin hearing with the King hearing, which he called a “witch hunt.” While he believes that both hearings amounted to political posturing, he felt that the Durbin hearing was important.
Rep. Peter King is planning on a second hearing in June focusing on the issue of Islamic radicalization in the American prison system. As he did in the previous hearing, King can be counted on to choose his witnesses to reinforce his position.
Sen. Durbin has not said if he would call any more hearing. One might hope that he, and not King, would call hearings on the spread of hate speech and the growth of hate groups since the 2008 election. Senator Kyl might want to sit those out since it’s practically a straight line from the television and radio soapbox for Republicans and these groups and this speech. Didn’t Bill O’Reilly, who grew up in King’s district, say that “Muslims attacked us on 9-11,” not 19 men who were Muslim, like 1.3 billion Muslims around the world were flying those planes.

Glenn Beck exposes Sharia Law creeping into America
Glenn Beck-04/01/11-A
Glenn Beck-04/01/11-B
Glenn Beck-04/01/11-C
Glenn Beck: oh, yeah! Now there's a credible source! :rolleyes: Not!
I wonder how many other so-called groups are not really dedicated to this country?
I know that I can name or finger several, including some gun-toting communities that would love to get rid of the U.S. government.
People are people. We use the government, and then we blame the government for using us. Government is simply people using the authority and power to implement their will.
A group of people, be they peace-loving Amish or gun-toting White Supremacy groups who want to form their own little enclaves or anything in-between, who live under the protection of the U.S. government have the right NOT to be dedicated to the U.S. government.
We can rail against them, if we want to. That is our right as well. Not that it will do much good, in my book. The more you want to entrench beliefs the more you should rail and battle against those beliefs. Nothing more than a continued blast of cold air will ensure that the individual will hang onto his coat for dear life. Warmth, reason, and dialogue, and the coat just might come off.
Sharia law creeping into the U.S. Jimeny! As if we are to believe that the whole law system of the U.S. is going to change overnight. We do have separate law systems within the confines of the U.S. The Native Americans have been given the right of their own forms of government and own civil laws. A U.S. Marshal cannot just enter sovereign Native American soil without permission. I sincerely doubt that we will have enclaves of Muslims forming their own little reservations.
Glenn Beck as usual is trying to cry fire in a crowded theater. Unfortunately, the movie was so bad that no one is in the theater in the first place.
Europe has had a much longer "problem" with the influx of Islamic-believing people. While England's liberals have bent over backwards to recognize some Sharia customs and laws, I believe it is beginning to swing back more towards sanity.
The day I believe America will have to worry is when all of Europe becomes Islamic, and I really doubt that will ever happen. Mohammed himself will have to make a physical presence before Christianity will even succumb.
Aren't there any real problems out there that we should be concerned with? Isn't there a bridge or a dam that is failing that could kill hundreds or thousands of people?
Isn't there an educational problem we should be dealing with so that we don't get a deluge of ignorant, selfish people who complain about the government not saving them and then turn their noses up when fed good MREs and demand McDonalds instead? When these same people allow people right next to them die from exposure because "it ain't my business"?
