Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood
Submitted by JR Nyquist on Fri, 11 Feb 2011

Are the Egyptian people demanding that President Hosni Mubarak step down? There is a mob in the streets of Cairo making this demand. And there is an American president who wants the mob to have its way. The Guardian UK headline reads: "Barak Obama impatient for credible transition in Egypt. " The article states what everyone knows; namely, that the United States government is putting pressure on President Mubarak to step down. Who is likely to fill the power vacuum? Anxieties are focused on the Muslim Brotherhood and the possibility of an Islamic revolution.


Regarding the demands of the Egyptian people: Two Ukrainian bloggers on Live Journal, traveling through Egypt, offer a different take on events than we see in the mainstream media. The two Ukrainians write, "We visited Egypt and studied the situation in detail, on the ground. Having talked with hundreds of residents in Cairo and other Egyptian cities, we came to a definite conclusion: a nationwide uprising against Mubarak does not exist."


If there is no nationwide uprising, then what is going on? According to the Ukrainian bloggers, "Most of the population [in Egypt], even those not supporting the current government, have a negative attitude toward the anti-presidential groups.... In fact, the Egyptian rebellion is limited to one area of Cairo. Statements made in Tahrir Square cannot be considered massive -- since they represent twenty thousand protestors, yet compared to the millions in Cairo this is quite small."


Even more curious, the two Ukrainian bloggers say that the Egyptian Army hasn't moved against the protestors because Mubarak does not want to "irritate the Americans." The protestors themselves are described as "nice people, but their protests are solely based on the support of the U.S. government." The impression is given here, as elsewhere, that the United States wants change in Egypt.


A Ukrainian friend who read the above-quoted blog expressed sharp disagreement with the bloggers. Surely, he said, the United States supports Mubarak. Surely, President Obama knows that the Islamic Brotherhood may take power if Mubarak leaves, and Obama knows he must oppose the Muslim Brotherhood. He knows nothing of the kind, I explained. "Well," said my friend, "Obama has a Director of National Intelligence who keeps him up to speed on all issues of strategic importance."


Oh really? Shall we take a closer look?

James Clapper is President Obama's Director of National Intelligence. On Thursday, Clapper testified before the House Intelligence Committee as follows: "The term Muslim Brotherhood is an umbrella term for a variety of movements; in the case of Egypt, a very heterogeneous group, largely secular, which has eschewed violence and has decried al Qaeda as a perversion of Islam...." Clapper further described the Muslim Brotherhood as pursuing "the betterment of the political order in Egypt," and having "no overarching agenda in the pursuit of violence."


With all due respect, the Director of National Intelligence is misinformed, and the President of the United States is ill served. As explained in the Center for Security Policy Team B Report of last year, "The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in Egypt in 1928. Its express purpose was two-fold: (1) to implement shariah worldwide, and (2) to re-establish the global Islamic State (caliphate). Therefore, Al Qaeda and the MB have the same objectives." (P. 66) Furthermore, the creed of the Muslim Brotherhood states that "God is our objective; the Koran is our law; the Prophet is our leader; jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations." The Team B Report adds, "It is evident from the Creed, and from the Brotherhood's history ... that violence is an inherent part of the MB's tactics. The MB is the root of the majority of Islamic terrorist groups in the world today."


It is doubtful that a global Islamic State (caliphate) will come to power through a worldwide election campaign. Unless suicide bombers are advocates of democracy, and killing women and children are a type of canvassing for votes, we are talking about the establishment of a global religious dictatorship. Such things are not established by strictly peaceful means. According a memorandum approved by the Muslim Brotherhood's Shura Council and organizational conference in 1987, the mission of the Muslim Brotherhood in North America is described as a "Civilization-Jihadist Process." The memorandum explains that the Brotherhood's "work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and 'sabotaging' its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions."
Does this sound peaceful and benevolent?


The President of the United States and his Director of National Intelligence have taken oaths to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. Yet the Director of National Intelligence cannot properly identity a sworn enemy of the U.S. Constitution, possessing almost no accurate information about that enemy (i.e., the Muslim Brotherhood). The Director of National Intelligence has no awareness, it seems, that documents outlining the Muslim Brotherhood's strategy were captured by the FBI in 2004. The strategy was outlined in five phases: (1) Phase of discreet and secret establishment of leadership; (2) Phase of gradual appearance on the public scene; (3) Escalation phase, prior to conflict and confrontation with the rulers, through utilizing mass media; (4) Open public confrontation with the Government; (5) Seizing power to establish an Islamic Nation under which all parties and Islamic groups are united.

According to the Team B Report, "The inherently seditious nature of the Muslim Brotherhood's agenda and its incompatibility with Western civilization and governments is typically obscured in the Free World by the assertion that the Ikhwan [the brotherhood] only seeks to achieve its objectives through non-violent means. As a result, the Brothers, their allies and proxies are all-too-often considered to be acceptable and reliable partners for governments seeking to counter violent jihad."



Has Director of National Intelligence James Clapper become an Islamic dupe? Is President Obama going to take his Director of National Intelligence to task? Readers are encouraged to listen to President Obama's speech at Cairo University, where he invited the Muslim Brotherhood to attend. The speech is flattering to Islam, and proposes a doctrine of peace between irreconcilable creeds (which the president imagines as potentially harmonious). At this juncture we should ask ourselves: Can the laws of the United States be maintained side-by-side with shariah law and Islam? The Team B Report says "no." On page 119 of the report we read of the anti-Constitutional character of shariah law: "As a nation, we have lost our understanding of America's founding principles and as a result have become increasingly ill-prepared to defend the superiority of those principles. This puts us at a distinct disadvantage in being able to identify, let alone understand and confront, hostile doctrines -- both foreign and domestic."


President Bush, therefore, was in error when he called Islam "the religion of peace." Contrary to these warm words, President John Quincy Adams made the following critical remarks about the Prophet Muhammad: "He poisoned the sources of human felicity at the fountain, by degrading the condition of the female sex, and the allowance of polygamy; and he declared undistinguishing and exterminating war, as part of his religion, against all the rest of mankind."
Was John Quincy Adams an ignoramus? I doubt there is half as much learning in the entire Obama administration.
If the Muslim Brotherhood has duped the U.S. Director of National Intelligence, one might suppose that the Brothers are diligent and clever enough to seize power in Egypt. Since President Obama legitimized these tenacious fighters, and the U.S. national security system has given them a stamp of approval, we may expect to hear more applause as they sweep away the infidels on every side.



The reader will have to decide for himself whether or not Islam is "the religion of peace" or if, as Winston Churchill explained, there was no stronger retrograde force in the world. According to Churchill, "[Islam] has already spread ... raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science ... the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome." (The River War, First Edition, Vol. II, pages 249-50)


Of course, it doesn't matter if the majority of Egypt's population fails to participate in the overthrow of Mubarak. Revolutions are effected by minorities. Governments are based on minority rule. Democracy itself is merely another way of organizing oligarchy, as shown in America today. And all this supposedly noble talk about Egyptian democracy amounts to nothing more. The only question is, which minority will rule?

She may not be as sympathetic to their cause if she had an encounter like this

Code Pink coordinator offers Gitmo terrorists her house’s spare bedroom

• February 16th, 2011 3:47 am PT

Code Pink coordinator offers Gitmo terrorists her house’s spare bedroom. In light of the vote late last night by the Berkeley City Council to consider taking in freed Gitmo terrorists, a Code Pink coordinator went on national television to demonstrate how radical and un-American she was by offering room and board to Islamic terrorists who didn’t have any place to go.

Code Pink’s coordinator for the Golden State’s chapter of Code Pink, those militant women who are anti-war to the max, Holly Harwood, said that freed Gitmo terrorists were welcome in her home and that she already had a spare room waiting for whatever terrorist wanted it. Late last night, Berkeley’s City Council rejected the initiative to invite a few freed Gitmo terrorists to come live among the citizens of Berkeley.

Harwood, who appeared on Hannity, represents a point of view that is shared by many liberals in the US, and it also demonstrates the anti-Americanism and danger inherent in the mindset of these…people.

What’s significant about Harwood’s stance is not just the innate fanaticism in her wacko and stubborn belief that freed Gitmo terrorists are just misunderstood-but-really-alright guys. It’s also significant because liberals like Harwood are basically aiding and abetting the terrorist enemy, no matter if they have been theoretically “cleared” of all wrongdoing when they are freed from Gitmo. In any case, just because these terrorists are freed from Gitmo—as some have been both under Bush and Obama—does not make them a bunch of harmless pussycats who you want in your spare bedroom (or dating any of your cousins, for that matter!).

According to statistics provided by the Director of National Intelligence, 25% of the freed terrorists from Gitmo go back to terrorism. Furthermore, 81% of the 600 freed terrorists from Gitmo have relapsed and…you guessed it…returned to what their kind does best: terror activity. Since the recidivism rate of these terrorists is inexcusably high, it should be tantamount to aiding and abetting the enemy for typical liberals like Harwood to proudly declare that they have a spare bedroom waiting for Jaleel and Hassan (did everyone notice my stereotypical terrorist names that I so smoothly used in this example?), if and when they get released from Gitmo. For Harwood to want to take in freed Gitmo detainees is the same thing as her actually sheltering terrorists!

The problem, of course, lies with typical liberals like Harwood’s view of the world, which is always warped to fit their mental illness that clouds everything they look at. This Code Pink coordinator does not even believe the Director of National Intelligence statistics that came from the Obama Administration itself—that’s how warped she and the anti-war liberals are.

However, liberals like Harwood are ignorant of the law, which is the least of their problems. According to Jay Sekulow, even if these terrorists are declared “cleared” and then freed from their confines in Gitmo, that does not make them anywhere near eligible to even enter into the US mainland as maniacs like Harwood want! According to Sekulow, who’s a lawyer, all that the “cleared” distinction would afford terrorists is the right for them to leave Gitmo…and then return to whatever third world backwater they came from. That’s it.

The scary mentality and ideology behind Harwood, which is shared by many in blue states and liberal hotbeds like the West Coast, shows why the leftists are almost as dangerous as the terrorists themselves. To prove this contention of mine, near the end of the debate, Harwood falsified that the War on Terror creates terrorists, when the reality is that it, of course, is a response to the terrorists’ anti-American aggression. With such a twisted take on things, it’s no wonder she’s offering room and board to Jaleel and Hassan when they get out of Gitmo!

The Ten Commandments of Leftist Reporting on Islam

by Lisa Graas
Posted on March 8 2011 6:00 am


Obama bows to victory Mosque Imam Feisal Rauf

Thanks to the rise of the internet and social media, people throughout the world can now gain access to far more information than was believed possible just two decades ago. However, the big leftist media conglomerates of old nevertheless retain great power to influence societal attitudes on a large scale…and they do not shy away from using that power to sway public opinion their way. Particularly in “movement media“, we see an endless stream of radical propaganda that has become valuable as a political mechanism of organizing for the Shadow Party. But these and their compatriots in the so-called “mainstream media” have evolved even further in their role as a propaganda machine in recent years. They have become apologists not only for a secular ideology, but now also for a wholly political religionIslam. These Islamapologists have many clear lines that they invariably refuse to cross in their reporting on this particular religion; lines that are so unmistakable that we can identify them specifically. They are the “Ten Commandments of Leftist Reporting on Islam.”
–
And we’re starting with… censorship. I. Thou Shalt Not Take the Name of Muhammad in Vain The founder of Islam is Muhammad and, just as the life and teachings of Jesus are at the top of the ladder in Christianity, the life and teachings of Muhammad are at the top of the ladder in Islam. Muhammad himself is the highest model for Muslims. His precepts as outlined in Sharia Law are considered by Muslims to be mandatory for all of mankind. Despite the unmistakable call in Islam for outright theocracy, wherein the religion and the state are completely inseparable, a situation that fundamentally imperils the very lives of all who dare dissent, the leftist media would, nevertheless, like you to meet and appreciate the founder of Islam. Meanwhile, those who may want to be critical face the possibility of being executed.

Arianna Huffington’s blog The Huffington Post tends to lead the pack in promoting Muhammad as an individual. Though criticized by others on the left for such things as “bogus and crackpot medical theories“, The Huffington Post frequently preaches the virtues of Muhammad with virtually no criticism for this Islamapologist behavior originating from any source outside conservative opinion media. Two of their recent Islamist “sermons” include “This Christmas, Give the Gift of Knowledge About Islam” and “The Idiocy of the Anti-Sharia Crowd“.
At HuffPo, Muhammad is all the rage.

Next: The Second Commandment, Thou Shalt Compare Radical Islam to Conservatism

II. Thou Shalt Compare Radical Islam to Conservatism
In presenting his book American Taliban for public consumption, Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas Zuniga claimed that conservative concerns about leftist tolerance for Islamic terrorism are an “extra level of stupid” because “these Islamic fundamentalists subscribe to the very same ideology and values that drive American modern conservatives.” The meme that conservatism is equivalent to Islamic fundamentalism got its first big jump-start in the leftist media and it continues today. On any given day and in all areas of both movement and ‘mainstream” media, one can find radical Islam termed not as “radical Islam” but rather the “conservative” form of Islam. The left is hereby co-opting the term “conservative”, using it to describe both those who murder in the name of Allah and mainstream leaders in America who happen to be politically conservative.

Recently, for example, the New York Times has taken to using the word “conservative” in defining Newt Gingrich, Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Chris Christie, Virginia Thomas and pro-life Catholics while also using the term to describe a “student vigilante” in Iran, Islamists in Tunisia who threaten the most basic rights of women, and Islamic bombers in Pakistan.

Using the same word to lump American conservatives in with Islamists? It’s the leftist way.

III. Thou Shalt Keep Holy the Name of Islam
The term “Islamophobia” was first used in media by a member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences in 1990 to warn that the “Islamophobia” of Soviet leaders might result in an “Islamic explosion“. In other words, if Islam is criticized, there will be violence. In this, it signified a dangerous capitulation to the inherently intolerant system that Islam is. By condemning criticism of Islam, one therein upholds the precept of the “supremacy” of Islam over all other belief systems. He has become a “dhimmi” by allowing Islam to conquer him internally through “jihad“. In this context, the Islamist can truthfully claim that jihad” is not violent but is rather an “interior struggle”. If one allows himself to be conquered internally by accepting that Islam is supreme and never to be criticized, there is no need, in the mind of an Islamist, for you to be killed. In reality, then, those who criticize Islam are not the “phobic” (fearful) ones. It is the dhimmis of the world who are fearful of Islam.

Conservative talk radio host Dennis Prager has noted that “Islamophobia” is a term that is “brilliant” in its shrewdness as it implies that disagreement with this political/religious ideology is “racist”. The Left has been playing “identity politics” for years, having utterly rejected individualism on such a serious level that they cannot even acknowledge, let alone value, the clear distinction between individuals and ideology. This is dangerous. If one cannot distinguish between “persons” and “ideas”, one might then reason that in order to “kill” an ideology, the people who hold the ideology must themselves be killed. Fascism and Communism, both of which are responsible for the murder of billions of individual persons in recent history, share collectivism as a key element. The Nazi regime and their compatriots tossed Jews into ovens to kill European “Jewry” and Stalin murdered millions of Ukranians in bringing “socialism to the countryside” .

Collectivism, which rejects individualism, is the intellectual common ground that Islamists share with fascists and communists.

“Individualism” refers to the “moral worth of the individual“. If I value the “moral worth of the individual”, I will, as a matter of logic, understand that the people who hold to an ideology are not ‘themselves’ the ideology.

David Horowitz has noted that justice compels us to warn people about the dangers of any destructive ideology in order to preserve individuals from harm. Warning others about that harm is an act of love, not hatred. It is not representative of fear, but courage.

Next: The Fourth Commandment, Thou Shalt Honor Radical Islamists


IV. Thou Shalt Honor Radical Islamists
“If a fellow called Mohammed mows down a bunch of students”, Mark Steyn once wrote, then it is “just one of those things.” Indeed, when Muslims commit the atrocities that their particular religion teaches them to commit, political correctness and appeasement by the Left results in our being kept in the dark. This is clear in the failure of so many on the Left to point out the jihadist nature of the Fort Hood massacre perpetrated by Nidal Malik Hasan. Most troubling, however, is that we find the Left frequently taking the wrong side on issues related to 9/11, the Muslim Brotherhood, and other areas directly related to national security. Tea Party groups protesting anti-Semitism are smeared as hate-mongers, while radical Islamists are honored. Jane Fonda must be proud.

One recent example of the honor Islamists receive in the leftist press is Arianna Huffington‘s decision to give a platform to stealth jihadist Tariq Ramadan. This grandson of the founder of the jihadist Muslim Brotherhood was allowed to make the case for the Muslim Brotherhood‘s participation in Egypt’s political process.

By honoring radicals with platforms through political correctness and appeasement and turning a blind eye to the radical Islamist agenda right here in America, the leftist media is responsible for misinforming Americans about the most dangerous threat to our national security. Meanwhile, the smearing of all who oppose anti-Semitism and jihad adds insult to injury.

I’m reminded of a quote from the Hebrew Scriptures, which all so-called “People of the Book” should heed:

Woe to you that call evil good, and good evil: that put darkness for light, and light for darkness: that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.

V. Thou Shalt Ignore Islamists’ Murderous Jihad Against “Infidels”
Islamists routinely call for a second Holocaust and have engaged in unspeakable horrors against the people of Israel, not to mention women, children,apostates and homosexuals. During recent years, jihad has been responsible for an ever-growing number of Christian deaths in Islamist countries throughout the world. Perhaps first among them, as of today, are the Coptic Orthodox Christians, especially in newly “democratized” Egypt.

While the Obama Administration has expressed interest in the Muslim Brotherhood having a place at the table, the plight of Christians in Egypt has been virtuallyignored. Frequently found are articles about how wonderful the status of the Copts is in Egypt. But ‘hearts and rainbows‘ accounts are merely anecdotes that distract millions of us from the sufferings of the Coptic community-at-large.

On February 24, we learned of Egyptian military attacks, with live ammunition and RPGs, on multiple monasteries in Egypt.

For the second time in as many days, Egyptian armed force stormed the 5th century old St. Bishoy monastery in Wadi el-Natroun, 110 kilometers from Cairo. Live ammunition was fired, wounding two monks and six Coptic monastery workers. Several sources confirmed the army’s use of RPG ammunition. Four people have been arrested including three monks and a Coptic lawyer who was at the monastery investigating yesterday’s army attack. [...]

[...] The army also attacked the Monastery of St. Makarios of Alexandria in Wady el-Rayan, Fayoum, 100 km from Cairo. It stormed the monastery and fired live ammunition on the monks. Father Mina said that one monk was shot and more than ten have injuries caused by being beaten with batons.

The only mention of this at the New York Times consists of one sentence buried in a March 3 article which mentions only the knocking down of the walls of one monastery. Not even the destruction of a home for handicapped children will pierce their hearts enough to report on the “utterly inhuman“ jihad.

Next: The Sixth Commandment, Thou Shalt Not Put the Rights of Women Above Islam

VI. Thou Shalt Not Put the Rights of Women Above Islam
At Salon, women under Sharia are joked about…though Islamapologetics appears to be all the rage.

Much like a woman under Sharia law, the movies lose value when touched by another man.

At The Nation, stoning is condemned without any mention of Sharia, the religious system of Islamic law from which the practice comes, while Newt Gingrich is said to have “lost his marbles” for being concerned about this Islamic law. At Daily Kos, no mention could be found for women under Sharia since at least January, 2010, but “Islam” is popular. There is no mention of Sharia at Common Dreams; only a smear against Tea Party activists who dared criticize the anti-Semitism of ICNA.

Could there be any wonder that the Left loves Islam and Sharia? They are in sync with President Obama on the issue of women under Sharia. How can the Left, and particularly President Obama, claim to care for women considering that he hired Dalia Mogahed to serve on his Advisory Council on Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships?

In early October 2009, Mogahed was interviewed on a British television program hosted by Ibtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party, which seeks to facilitate the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of a worldwide Islamic state governed by Sharia Law. Bsis and another guest (also a member of Hizb ut Tahrir) stated that Sharia should be “the source of legislation” for all nations in the world; they also repeatedly condemned the “man-made law” and the “lethal cocktail of liberty and capitalism” that existed in Western societies. Mogahed did not dispute any of their assertions.

But then, if the Left stops hating women by criticizing Sharia, then by extension they would also have to stop hating gays, Israel, America, Christians, Jews, etc. The radical Left has invested far too much in hatred to consider giving an inch of freedom to Muslim women.

Next: The Seventh Commandment, Thou Shalt Bear False Witness to Protect Islamists

VII. Thou Shalt Bear False Witness to Protect Islamists
In February, I outlined the “Top Five Muslim Brotherhood Front Groups Working to Destroy America from Within“. These groups thrive by operating under the radar of public scrutiny the mainstream media is responsible for providing, an ability that is likely considerably enhanced by the Left’s propensity to avoid legitimate research and reasoned debate in deference to day-dreaming about utopian fantasies. At times, however, a bit of extra effort is extended in the form of bearing false witness to promote Islam. Here are a few examples.

The Soros-funded group Media Matters claimed that Glenn Beck endorsed Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf as a “good Muslim“. It wasn’t true.

Sometimes lies reach conspiracy level as in the case of Max Blumenthal‘s claims about a ‘Great Islamophobic Crusade‘ in America. As a Catholic, I’m particularly offended by Blumenthal’s crusade fantasy in his conspiracy rant.

Besides providing the initial energy for the Islamophobic crusade, conservative elements from within the pro-Israel lobby bankrolled the network’s apparatus, enabling it to influence the national debate.

We hear so much about “scary Jewish bankers” from Ron Paul fans, one wonders if Blumenthal has been hanging out at Liberty Forest. Blumenthal lied.

More recently, the New York Times is busily engaged in cheerleading for Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, describing him as one who “supports the idea of a pluralistic, multiparty, civil democracy”, but who can forget this memorable quote from Qaradawi?

“Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon the [Jews] people who would punish them for their corruption. The last punishment was carried out by Hitler. By means of all the things he did to them – even though they exaggerated this issue – he managed to put them in their place. This was divine punishment for them. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of the believers.”

I’m not seeing any pluralism there…at…all.
Deception is a doctrine in Islam that leftists in media have embraced.

Next: The Eighth Commandment, Thou Shalt Not Be Troubled by the Muslim Brotherhood

VIII. Thou Shalt Not Be Troubled by the Muslim Brotherhood
The proverbial jury is no longer out when it comes to the dangers of the Muslim Brotherhood, but the leftist media continues to try to convince all who will listen that we should not be troubled by this terror-supporting organization. Unfortunately, they’re getting a lot of help from people in high places. Today in the Washington Post, Lorenzo Vidino, offered an op-ed to relieve readers’ concerns about the Muslim Brotherhood. Vidino does not mention in his bio that he was recently based at the Investigative Project on Terrorism [IPT] in Washington, D.C. Earlier this month, IPT published an article offering a decidedly different perspective.

Elements of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Islamist group whose ideology has inspired terrorists such as Osama bin Laden, are in the United States and have supported terrorism here and overseas, FBI Director Robert Mueller told a House committee Thursday.

Mueller joined seven other Obama administration intelligence and law enforcement officials at a hearing of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. They spoke of the Brotherhood’s U.S. ties as word spread in Egypt that President Hosni Mubarak was prepared to resign. Mubarak has repeatedly said his administration, in place since 1981, is the one thing keeping an Islamic state led by the Brotherhood from taking over Egypt.

Certainly, there is reason to be troubled.

IX. Thou Shalt Embrace Dhimmitude
One very reasonable explanation for the Left’s willingness to become Islamapologists is that they have embraced “dhimmitude“. It is not a stretch of the imagination to envision that so many have been swept up in a mission to defend the doctrines and agendas of Islamists because they have allowed Islam to conquer them either in embracing the hatred and collectivism of Islam or by simply being too afraid to speak out against a religion that demands the death penalty for critics.

As early as the eighth century, a formal set of rules was created to govern the relationships between the conquering Muslims and the defeated infidels. The framework of these regulations is known as “dhimmitude,” a term connoting the lowly legal and social status of Jews and Christians who are subjected to Islamic rule. Dhimmi was the name applied by the Arab-Muslim conquerors to the indigenous non-Muslim populations that surrendered by a treaty (dhimma) to Muslim domination.

A non-Muslim community that is forced to accept dhimmitude is condemned to live in a system that will protect it from violent jihad on only one condition: if it is completely subservient to a Muslim master. In return for that subservience, the community is granted limited rights, although dhimmis could be capriciously subjected to such depredations as mass slavery, abductions, and deportations.

No one would admit to having become a “dhimmi”. We can only surmise this from the behaviors that have been outlined in the previous ‘commandments’. It appears to me that in order for one to be unable to reject the core tenets of Islam, one must either be a devout Muslim, immoral, inept…or a dhimmi. I am certainly open to hearing other possible explanations.

Next: The Tenth Commandment, Thou Shalt Attack Those who Warn Others About the Dangers Within Islam

X. Thou Shalt Attack Those who Warn Others About the Dangers Within Islam
Theo Van Gogh, Father Daniil Sysoyev, Shahbaz Batti — the list of people murdered for criticizing Islam is very long and grows virtually every day.

There are also attacks with words in the media.

When German chancellor Angela Merkel declared that the leftist doctrine of “multiculturalism” had “utterly failed”, she was accused by Der Spiegel of not allowing “differences of any kind” and of harboring a view that only “primitive societies” and “dictatorships, which control all aspects of life” would hold. Der Spiegel also said that “only Germans” would think in such a way, indicating that Muslims (and everyone else?) are more advanced than primitive German totalitarian dictators. Through euphemism, this German newspaper was saying that Angela Merkel was acting like Adolf Hitler for simply expecting Muslims to be more tolerant of Western society. In fact, the closed, parallel societies of Poland were conducive, not detrimental, to creating an atmosphere of cultural ignorance that led to Polish Catholic participation in the Holocaust.

As bad as it is to be compared to Hitler (albeit through euphemism) in Der Spiegel, merely for calling for your nation to become more of a “melting pot” society, there are worse things. In The Netherlands, MP Geert Wilders is literally standing trial for speech…because it is speech that is critical of Islam. Slate characterized Wilders’ criticism of this totalitarian political/religious system “anti-Muslim rhetoric“. In other words, Slate refuses to differentiate between hating an “idea” and hating the “people” who hold those ideas.

---

Geert Wilders, Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, and French President Nicolas Sarkozy all understand the dangers of allowing closed, intolerant societies such as we see in the Muslim communities of Europe.

The big media conglomerates of the Left have become intolerant societies, as well. While media has become much more open with the rise of cable and the internet, people still move within information bubbles. All people, no matter how free-thinking they may be, have a natural tendency to gravitate to those they most agree with. Much of what is out there is leftist in nature, and is very destructive. The burden of judgment regarding what is ‘right’ and what is ‘wrong’, or what is ‘fair’ and what is ‘unfair’ is largely on the individual when it comes to analyzing the media. With the Left pressing so many intolerant and inaccurate messages, we can only hope that media consumers will have the good judgment to make the right choices.

Freedom always comes with responsibility.

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same. — Ronald Reagan

James O'Keefe, the young conservative journalist who brought down ACORN in a series a secretly recorded videos, has done it again. This time, he bamboozled two top executives of National Public Radio into having lunch with members of a fictive Muslim educational organization supposedly founded by a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. Two of O'Keefe's operatives, posing as possible Muslim contributors to NPR, met for lunch with Ron Schiller, the network's foundation president and senior vice president for development, and Besty Liley, NPR's director for institutional giving. Both executives expressed disdain for conservatives and even the United States. Schiller even told the two, the Daily Caller notes in its report on the recording, that NPR would be better off without federal funding, which directly contradicts what NPR CEO Vivian Schiller said the day before in a press conference at The National Press Club. O'Keefe's latest effort, Project Veritas, mounted the undercover operation. Tea Party Members Are Racist O'Keefe's operatives represent themselves as Ibrahim Kasaam and Amir Malik from a fictitious outfit calling itself the Muslim Education Action Center, which explicity states it is a front for the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization whose goal is the establishment of global Islamic hegemony. MEAC has a website that proclaims its intent to spread Sharia or Islamic law across the world: Islam requires that every Muslim observe and live under Divine Law, yet many cultures are not receptive to this life. Many Muslims are prohibited from governing themselves under the principles of their own faith. We must combat intolerance to spread acceptance of Sharia across the world. But none of this disturbs the voluble anti-conservative NPR man, Schiller. "The current Republican Party, particularly the Tea Party, is fanatically involved in people’s personal lives and very fundamental Christian — I wouldn’t even call it Christian. It’s this weird evangelical kind of move[ment]," he tells the two. As Schiller explains that the Tea Party "hijacked" the GOP, Malik agrees, calling the Tea Party "radical racist, [and] Islamophobic." Schiller continues, [The Tea Party is not] just Islamaphobic, but really xenophobic, I mean basically they are, they believe in sort of white, middle-America gun-toting. I mean, it’s scary. They’re seriously racist, racist people. At one point, Kassam says that NPR so favorably presents the Palestinian point of view in its reporting that Muslims call it “National Palestinian Radio.” The remark elicits a laugh from Schiller, and the following comment from Liley: “Oh really? That’s good. I like that.” The two faux Muslims said they could donate up to $5 million to NPR. Concentration Camps And Williams Liley goes even further when Malik complains that the Muslim Brotherhood is "demonized and looked down on as horrible, terrible people, when they are simply just trying to help." In fact, the Brotherhood's stated goal "is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization ... so that ... God's religion [Islam] is made victorious over all other religions." Says Liley, “Sadly, our history from the record … shows that we have done this before. We put Japanese-Americans in camps in World War II.” What Liley means by "this" is unclear, but Schiller eventually defends firing Juan Williams, whom NPR cashiered after his imprudent confession that seeing Muslims on planes makes him nervous. Schiller says NPR execs discussed the Williams matter and that all of them agreed Williams could not continue as a host because he would not be credible to viewers. Schiller says that any journalist who expresses an opinion is “compromised as a journalist[;] they can no longer fairly report.” [A]nd the question that we asked internally was can Juan Williams, when he makes a statement like he made, can he report to the Muslim population, for example, and be believed and the answer is no. He lost all credibility. As the Daily Caller notes, Schiller once again directly contradicted NPR’s public statements. At her Monday press conference, Vivian Schiller apologized for the way NPR handled the Williams matter. "We handled the situation badly," she said. "We acted too hastily and we made some mistakes. I made some mistakes." As well, Vivian Schiller denied NPR has a liberal bias. O’Keefe did. ACORN, NPR, Teacher Unions O'Keefe is familiar to readers of The New American for posing as a pimp and persuading staff members of the notorious left-wing ACORN to help him set up brothels where underage prostitutes could work. The video attack prompted calls to defund ACORN, and set the group scrambling to recover its reputation even among the hard-bitten leftists that support it. With Project Veritas, O'Keefe has moved on to NPR. He has also filmed members of teacher unions in New Jersey attending a taxpayer-subsidized conference. The teachers boastfully claim they cannot be fired even for serious infractions, such as calling black children "n****r." Of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a teacher says that “everybody wants to, you know, take this guy out one way or the other.” Another laughs that she is playing video games on the taxpayers' dime.

Rep. King held controversial hearings in Congress on 'radicalization' in the Muslim community.

Take our Poll

King of Controversy

Do you think Peter King's hearings tried to paint Muslims in an unfair light?

	Yes, it was a witch-hunt, not unlike the McCarthy hearings.
	No, he raised legitimate concerns about radical Muslims.
	I'm not sure.

A package containing a bloody pig's foot and a hate-filled note was mailed to the Washington office of Rep. Peter King, prompting a police investigation.

U.S. Capital Hill cops said the parcel was intercepted Monday morning at a postal facility in Landover, Maryland, during a routine screening of congressional mail that began after the 9/11 attacks and an anthrax scare.

The severed pig's foot was accompanied by a letter filled with anti-Semitic slurs.

The gory package never reached King's office, and police notified the Long Island Republican about it Monday.

"The package was discovered at a mail facility off the Hill early this morning.

We have an active open investigation regarding the incident and are working with postal inspectors," said Capitol Police Sgt. Kimberly Schneider without elaborating.

The threatening mailing came after King launched a series of controversial hearings last month on the "The Extent of Radicalization in the American Muslim Community."

It was not clear if the package was mailed in response to the hearings, whichsparked protests from American-Muslims in New York and in Washington.

King, chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, has been the target of threats since he scheduled the hearing.

The Congressman, who is Catholic, had no immediate comment and referred all questions to the Capital Hill police.

King and his office have received increased security since the threats began.

"I'm getting a lot of hostile phone calls now, but the main threats I'm getting are from overseas," King said in an interview last month.

Ibrahim Hooper of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, which monitors hate-crimes against Muslims, said his organization routinely receives pig-themed hate messages, including letters smeared with bacon.

The Muslim religion forbids eating pork.

"My guess is it was an anti-Muslim bigot, and bigots not being brain surgeons they probably got their signals crossed," Hooper said.

Shocker: Soros-Funded Group Behind Course for Journalists That Downplays “Jihad”…


Evil incarnate.
Via Newsbusters:

A new course on Islam designed for journalists tries to minimize the impact and importance of “jihad” by comparing it to the number of murders in America each year. That same course claims “right-wing activists” tried to tie American Muslims to terrorism and doesn’t mention examples of Islamic attacks on press freedom.
That’s the way a prominent news organization is teaching journalists in a three-hour online course. The Poynter News University, part of the Poynter Institute, launched the free course “Covering Islam in America” to guide the media on their coverage of Muslim communities.
The George Soros-funded Social Science Research Council, which received $50,000 from the Open Society Institute “For Initiative on HIV/AIDS and Social Transformation,” is one of the groups behind the initiative, along with the Edward R. Murrow College of Communication at Washington State University. That fits with a theme for liberal financier Soros, who has spent more than $52 million on influencing the media. The Islamic course also links to another Soros-funded entity, the well-financed Center for American Progress.
In about 30 pages of text with links to other reports and articles, journalists can go through and read about the history of Islam, Muslims in America, and how to cover stories on Islam. Besides learning basic facts about Muslims and their history, the course adds ways to put “jihad” into perspective, attack conservatives, and provide a list of liberal groups that can be contacted for expert advice and quotes.
The pre and post-assessments give a hint as to the nature of the course. One question asked, “What grievances might sources associated with ‘Political Islam’ hold against Western journalists?” The answer is that “Western journalists are seen as all of the following: “hostile to Islam,” “focus too much on Islamic violence,” “viewed as water carriers for Western government agendas,” and “thought to be unable to understand Islam unless they embrace Islam.”

Dem Congressman to keynote Hamas-linked CAIR’s fundraiser with ’93 WTC bombing co-conspirator

Posted on October 14, 2011 by creeping via Congressman to keynote CAIR fundraiser with terror co-conspirator.

Democratic Rep. Jim Moran of Virginia is headlining a fundraiser this weekend for the controversial Council on American-Islamic Relations along with an imam tied to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing who urges the violent overthrow of the “filthy” U.S. government and the establishment of Islamic law.

CAIR’s 17th annual banquet Saturday at the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Va., features the theme “Making Democracy Work for Everyone.”



Imam Siraj Wahhaj, designated by the Justice Department as an “unindicted co-conspirator” in the WTC bombing, is promoted as a keynote speaker along with Moran.

The evening banquet concludes a day-long leadership conference offering workshops on subjects such as “counteracting Islamophobia,” “challenging scapegoating of Muslims in the 2012 election” and countering “the anti-Shariah campaign,” referring to state legislative efforts to ensure Islamic law is not implemented in the U.S.

Make a donation of $25 to protect the free flow of information about threats to America’s security and get both the e-book and the hardcover edition of the book that exposes CAIR, “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America.”

As WND reported, Moran, a longtime supporter of CAIR, was forced to step down from his leadership role as regional whip in 2003 after he blamed the influence of the Jewish community for the U.S. war in Iraq.

Wahhaj’s presence at CAIR’s 2009 annual banquet prompted an activist group to launch a campaign to urge the hosting hotel, the venue for this year’s event, to cancel.

As WND reported, Wahhaj, a regular CAIR fundraiser and a former member of its advisory board, initially was a featured speaker but ended up giving only a short fundraising appeal at the banquet.

As late as nine days prior to the 2009 banquet, CAIR featured Wahhaj and White House adviser Dalia Mogahed in its promotions as its two marquee names. But on the eve of the event – after WND reports of Wahhaj’s radical views as documented in WND Books’ best-seller “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America” – a press release did not even mention them.

ISLAMOPHOBIA – A MANUFACTURED CRISIS TO CRUSH DISSENT

A Speech By Don Feder To ”The Constitution or Sharia: A Freedom Conference”

At The Cornerstone Church, Nashville, November 11, 2011





In politics, as in other forms of mortal combat, the best defense is often an offense. If someone asks you a question you don’t want to answer, respond with another question.

You ask a proponent of Islam “Why does carnage follow your religion wherever it goes?” And he asks why you hate him. You ask him to renounce terrorism, and he wants to know why you’re spreading lies about Islam. Hence, the anti-Islamophobia campaign.

According to Muslim activists and their leftist allies, America is in the midst of an epidemic of bigotry. The hilariously misnamed Center for American Progress recently published “Fear, Inc.: The Roots of the Islamophobia Network in America.”

The 138-page report alleges that Islamophobes - funded by “a flood of cash” (the charge is ironic, coming as it does from a Soros operation) - have manufactured conspiracy theories to spread fear and hatred of, and incite violence against, American Muslims. This Vast Islamophobic Network supposedly is directed by the likes of Frank Gaffney and David Yerushalmi (two of our speakers today), scholarly Daniel Pipes and intrepid investigator Steven Emerson.

If the allegations are true, Islamophobes are about as successful as an Obama jobs programs. According to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reports, in 2008, there were 1,606 hate crimes motivated by religious bias in this country - 65.7% against Jews, and only 7.7% against Muslims.

Since 9/11, exactly one American Muslim has been murdered for his faith – by a skinhead with a long criminal history. At the same time, dozens of American Muslim women and girls have been murdered by their Muslim fathers for such heinous offenses as wearing lipstick, dressing like Americans and having infidel boyfriends – homicides which Muslim religious authorities have done nothing to deter.

Still the agitated cry is heard in the night, “The Islamophobes are coming!”

In an August commentary, the Anti-Defamation League’s Abraham Foxman (a useful meshugeneh) urged defenders of the First Amendment to “Shout down the Sharia Myth Makers.” Foxman wrote that in America “concerns about a ‘creeping Sharia law’ are the stuff of pure paranoid fantasy. If the hysteria over Sharia … continues … even more political candidates may be tempted to invoke this mythological threat in an effort to pander to bigotry and fear.”

If our views are the stuff of pure paranoid fantasy – and thus easily demolished – why are they so desperately afraid of having them heard?

We Islamophobes are indeed an odious lot, making myths, pandering to bigotry and fear - and asking uncomfortable questions. But – you know what we don’t do?

• We don’t try to blow up the offices of the National Endowment for the Arts for funding a photo of a crucifix submerged in a jar of urine.

• We don’t attempt to storm the cockpit of a 747 shouting “Jesus loves you!” or “Hear O’ Israel.”

• There are no recorded cases of Baptist preachers arrested for raising funds for foreign terrorists.

• Rabbis don’t put out hits on anti-Israel politicians.

• And we don’t kill our daughters for listening to Justin Bieber.

In a nation of many faiths, Islam is the only religion you’re not allowed to criticize.

You can say the Vatican condones pedophilia, and MSNBC will applaud. You can compare Christians to Nazis and the establishment smirks. You can claim Jews are responsible for all of our economic ills, and the media will refuse to report it (as they have anti-Semitic outbursts in the Occupy Wall Street Movement).

Like the son of the late theologian Francis Schaeffer, you can write in a blog posting, “The source of the empowering of the top 1 percent super wealthy and the economic rape of the rest is the religion of Evangelical fundamentalism,” and no one in the coexist crowd gets bent out of shape.

But Islam is strictly off limits. To suggest – even to hint – that there’s a connection between the teachings of the Koran and its interpretation by Muslim authorities and a worldwide bloodbath, is to mark one indelibly as an uber-bigot.

I have a newsflash for the Center for American Progress, Abraham Foxman, Barack Obama and the rest of the defenders of Jihad, Inc: The worst Islamophobes in the world are the imams, sheikhs, muftis, ayatollahs and activists who tell us repeatedly – by word and deed – that Islam mandates acts of terror, the murder of apostates and blasphemers, the annihilation of Christians and a repeat of the Holocaust. To wit:

“Throughout history, Allah has imposed upon them (Jews), people who would punish them for their corruption. The last was Hitler …. Allah willing, the next time will be at the hands of believers (Muslims).” – Yusuf al-Qaradawi, chief theologian of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. (Doesn’t he know that Islam is the religion of peace?)

“Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those (who say this) are witless. Islam says: kill all of the unbelievers as they would kill you all.” – Ayatollah Khomeini, founder of the Islamic Republic of Uranium Enriched Iran.

Asked if Hamas is a terrorist group, Imam Rauf (former flack for the Ground Zero Mosque and Holy War Support Center) replied: “I’m not a politician. I try to avoid complex issues. The issue of terrorism is very complex” – unlike, say, the bombing of Hiroshima, which Imam Rauf has no trouble condemning as a war crime.

When Pope Benedict XVI recently called attention to “non-Muslims being oppressed by Muslim states in the Middle East” (in response to the Christmas bombing of Coptic churches in Egypt) a group of prominent Islamic scholars told the Pope to shut up and mind his own business – that in the Islamic world, the slaughter of infidels is an “internal affair.”

This drew the following retort from William Donohue, President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and another notorious Islamophobe: “We are constantly being told that Islam is just like every other world religion…. Yet daily we read about unprovoked violence, or threats of it, against Christians and Jews, and just as often we read about how it is justified by leading Muslim clerics in the name of their religion.”

In the past decade, Christians have been hacked to death in Nigeria, bombed in Iraq, sentenced to death for blasphemy in Pakistan, beheaded in Indonesia, crucified in the Sudan, assassinated in the Philippines and lynched throughout the wide, wonderful world of Islam. In most cases, these atrocities are ongoing.

The Egyptian army recently massacred 25 Coptic Christians, who were protesting an earlier massacre by street mobs.

Around the time of Passover, a Jewish family was murdered in an Israeli community North of Jerusalem. The victims included an 11-year-old, a 4-year-old and an infant (age three months) who were repeatedly stabbed through the heart. Needless to say, this was met with joy and jubilation in Ramallah and Gaza. Imam Rauf is right: Whether or not stabbing a three-month-old through the heart repeatedly is a terrorist act is a very complex issue.

All of these atrocities were committed in the name of Islam by devout Muslims who cite the Koran to justify their crimes. Many are condoned by eminent Islamic scholars. Yet when you and I acknowledge this reality, we are compared to the Nazis.

In the past decade, Oslo has experienced a surge of rapes – which just happens to coincide with an influx of Muslim immigrants.

In 2010, there were a total of 86 cases of forcible rape in Norway’s capital. In 83 of them, the victim was able to identify her assailant. In every one of those, the perpetrator was described as having a “non-Western appearance,” a euphemism for an immigrant from Religion-Of-Peace Land. Norwegian television reported that one victim said her attacker told her his religion permitted him to violate her – curious, given Islam’s well-known regard for women.

Closer to home, almost exactly two years ago, at Ft. Hood, Texas, Major Nidal Malik Hasan, an American-born Palestinian Muslim and an Army psychiatrist, shot and killed 13 of his fellow soldiers and wounded 29 others.

The establishment professed to be mystified by what triggered Major Mayhem. At a memorial service for the victims, President Islam-Is-Just-So-Doggone-Cute called the tragedy “incomprehensible.” The Pentagon released an 86-page report on the Ft. Hood massacre which managed to avoid any mention of “Islam,” “Muslims,” the Koran or “Jihad.”

Perhaps Major Hasan was a Tea-Partier protesting Obama Care. Then again, he did shout “Allahu Akbar” (“God is great” in Arabic) as he pumped round after round into our soldiers. He attended a radical mosque in Falls Church, Virginia, had business cards identifying himself as a “Soldier of Allah,” and became an Internet pen-pal of the late Yemeni imam Anwar al-Awlaki, who preached killing U.S. soldiers.

Hasan told colleagues that “Muslims have a right to rise up against the U.S. military.” In a power-point presentation to help fellow officers better understand the religion of extreme grooviness, he spoke glowingly of Muslims who “strap bombs on themselves and go into Times Square.” But suggest a connection between the Army shrink and the faith in whose name he acted, and you’re a vile Islamophobe.

About the time Major Hasan was engaged in a "spiritual struggle" (jihad) at Ft. Hood, in an e-mail, the Muslim chaplain at Harvard suggested that there was – in his own words – “great wisdom” in the “established and preserved position” that those who leave Islam should die.

And in September, an Arab poet was stopped in traffic at gunpoint in St. Louis. His assailants carved a Star of David on his back. This was Alaa Alsaegh’s punishment for a poem he wrote expressing sympathy for Jews over the Holocaust.

Thankfully, no Islamophobes were involved in any of these incidents.

We’re told that another manifestation of Islamophobia is opposition to the construction of mosques. In the case of the Ground Zero Mosque and Jihad Super Store, that makes 65% of the American people and 55% of New York City’s Jews Islamophobes.

When the Center for Security Policy’s Mapping Sharia in America Project sent retired intelligence agents fluent in Arabic or Urdu into 100 randomly selected U.S. mosques, they found 80% contained literature advocating violence (aside from the Koran itself, that is), while 85% of imams recommended such educational material.

Approximately 80% of U.S. mosques were built in the past 14 years, with $70 billion to $80 billion from the tolerance-loving, human-rights friendly Saudis. The imams are mainly from Oil Arabia and Egypt, where justice and equality have reached truly dizzying heights. Yet if you dare to speak of such things, you’ll be attacked as a cadre of the sinister Islamophobic network.

The objective of anti-Islamophobia crusaders is to win by intimidation.

There is a deliberate and, I believe, coordinated effort to shut us out of public forums. As most of you know, we were supposed to have this conference at the Hutton Hotel, which breached its contract with us three weeks out from the event. Cutting through its lame and often contradictory excuses, it’s likely the hotel bowed to pressure.

There is a pattern emerging here. In October, the Hyatt Palace Hotel in Houston cancelled a Tea Party event where Pamela Geller was scheduled to speak. The hotel cited “security concerns” which sounds less gutless than “We caved to pressure.”

The reality is this – if you say, write or indicate that you believe certain things about Islam, the thought police will do their best to shut you down, close you out, gag you, marginalize you and smear you. Can Canadian-style human rights tribunals be far behind?

I have a message for our critics: We will not be intimidated.

Today is Veterans Day.

December 7th will mark the 70th anniversary of Pearl Harbor. If musket balls and bayonets, bullets, bombers and tanks didn’t defeat us in 1776, in 1861, in 1941 and throughout the Cold War, do they really think we’ll be silenced by a weenie Soros outfit whining about “hatred” and ‘bigotry”?

Working through the Sharia Awareness Action Network, Feder was also the conference coordinator. Don Feder is a former Boston Herald writer who is now a political/communications consultant. He also maintains his own website, DonFeder.com.

Jimmy Carter meets with Muslim Brotherhood

Posted on January 13, 2012 by creeping

Probably not the first time. He’s been calling for Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood recognition for years. via Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood party head meets former U.S. president Carter – People’s Daily Online.

CAIRO, Jan. 12 (Xinhua) — Egypt’s Freedom and Justice Party ( FJP) chairman Mohamed Morsi met here Thursday with former U.S. President Jimmy Carter to discuss Egypt’s transition process.

Carter congratulated Morsi on the parliamentary election results achieved by the party, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB), noting there was international consensus to respect the results which reflect the Egyptian people’s choices, said a statement posted on the MB’s website.

The former U.S. president called on the FJP to accommodate nascent and new parties of youth which have not achieved significant rates of victory in recent elections, it said.

Morsi said a mixed presidential-parliamentary model was optimal for Egypt in the current transitional period. This can be transformed into a full parliamentary system after the completion of democratic process, he added.

The FJP chief also said Egypt is a big country with vital institutions and respects the agreements signed in the past as long as all parties are committed to their terms within the framework of respect for sovereignty and independence.

Carter, who arrived in Egypt Monday, held talks with the chief of the ruling Supreme Council of the Armed Forces, Hussein Tantawi, and Prime Minister Kamal el-Ganzouri.

More via IBD, Why Is Jimmy Carter Helping Egypt’s Islamic Radicals?:

Anti-Americanism: The worst president of the 20th century is now fomenting terrorism in the 21st century by helping Egyptian Islamists. For decades, Jimmy Carter has been legitimizing mass-murderers in the name of peace.

The president whose infamous 1979 televised “malaise speech” blamed his own failures on Americans’ “growing doubt about the meaning of our own lives” has spent much of his life aiding some of America’s most murderous enemies.

As president, with his U.N. ambassador, Andrew Young, calling the Ayatollah Khomeini “some kind of saint” and his own State Department suggesting Khomeini’s anti-American writings were forgeries, Carter abandoned our ally the Shah of Iran and let Khomeini conduct an Islamist revolution. For 444 days 52 Americans were held hostage.

If not for Carter’s naive “human rights” foreign policy, an anti-American Islamofascist regime in Tehran wouldn’t be on the verge of acquiring nuclear weapons.

Why would a former U.S. president help the organization that established the Hamas terrorist group and whose Egyptian Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) manifesto promises to cut off oil and gas to “the Zionist occupiers of Palestine,” establish Taliban-like Shariah law and devastate the economy by banning the supposedly Zionist practice of consumer lending?

U.S. State Department Actively Promoting Islam in Europe

by Soeren Kern
March 6, 2012 at 5:00 am
http://www.gatestoneinstitute.org/29...g-islam-europe

The French government – which has been trying to reverse the pernicious effects of decades of state-sponsored multiculturalism – expressed dismay at what it called "meddling."

The United States ambassador to Spain recently met with a group of Muslim immigrants in one of the most Islamized neighborhoods of Barcelona to apologize for American foreign policymaking in the Middle East.

U.S. Ambassador Alan Solomont told Muslims assembled at the town hall-like meeting in the heart of Barcelona's old city that the United States is not an "enemy of Islam" and that U.S. President Barack Obama wants to improve America's image in the Middle East as quickly as possible by closing the "dark chapters" of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and the war in Afghanistan.

"There are things that the United States has done badly," Solomont said at the February 28 gathering organized by a non-profit organization called the Cultural, Educational and Social Association of Pakistani Women. "But now the Obama government wants to improve relations with Muslims," he promised.

During the one-and-a-half-hour question-and-answer session, Solomont asked those in attendance simple rhetorical questions, including: "Did you know that the United States sends a lot of money to Pakistan?" and "Did you know that the decision to destroy Osama bin Laden's house was made by the United States?"

After responding to queries about the "Talibanization of Pakistan due the war in Afghanistan" and the "demonization of Islam in the West," Solomont said Obama wants to end the long-time American practice of establishing alliances with dictators in the Middle East, a strategy which he said has failed to prevent the rise of "the bearded ones" [radical Islamists], this according to the Barcelona-based newspaper La Vanguardia, which also interviewed Solomont on the sidelines of the event.

The Barcelona meeting, which was held in a Muslim ghetto called Raval (a.k.a. Ravalistan because Muslim immigrants now make up 45% of the barrio's total population), is an example of the Obama administration's so-called Muslim Outreach.

The U.S. State Department -- working through American embassies and consulates in Europe -- has been stepping-up its efforts to establish direct contacts with largely unassimilated Muslim immigrant communities in towns and cities across Europe.

Proponents of Obama's approach to public diplomacy -- some elements of which originated with his immediate predecessor -- say it is part of a "counter-radicalization" strategy which aims to prevent radical Muslims with European passports from carrying out terrorist attacks against the United States.

A key component of the strategy is to "empower" Muslims who can help build a "counter-narrative" to that of terrorists. In practice, however, Obama ideologues are crisscrossing Europe on U.S. taxpayer funded trips to "export" failed American approaches to multiculturalism, affirmative action, cultural diversity and special rights for minorities.

Further, American diplomats are repeatedly apologizing to Muslims in Europe for a multitude of real or imagined slights against Islam, and the U.S. State Department is now spending millions of dollars each year actively promoting Islam -- including Islamic Sharia law -- on the continent.

In Ireland, for example, the U.S. Embassy in Dublin recently sponsored a seminar ostensibly designed to help Muslim immigrants increase their influence within the Irish business and financial communities.

The opening speech at the event was delivered by Imam Hussein Halawa of the Islamic Cultural Center of Ireland, despite the fact that leaked U.S. State Department cables show that the U.S. government has known for many years that Halawi is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood and serves as the right-hand man of the radical Egyptian cleric Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

Halawa, an Egyptian immigrant who has dedicated his life to the cause of introducing Islamic Sharia law in Europe, told those in attendance that the main purpose of the conference was to bring the Irish banking system into conformity with Islamic legal principles. U.S. Ambassador Dan Rooney, a lifelong Republican turned Obama acolyte, said at the same conference that the United States was a "solid partner" behind Halawa's venture.

In Austria, the U.S. Embassy in Vienna sponsored a film contest in February on the theme of "Diversity and Tolerance" aimed at teaching wayward Austrians that they should show respect for Muslim immigrants who refuse to integrate into their society.

Ambassador William Eacho, an Obama campaign fundraiser turned political appointee, awarded the first prize to a group of students in the northern Austrian town of Steyr who produced a one-minute silent film promoting tolerance for Muslim women who wear Islamic face-covering veils such as burkas in public spaces.

Obama and his team may think they know what is best for Europeans, but according to recent polls, more than 70% of Austrians are in favor of a law that would ban the burka.

In Belgium, U.S. Ambassador Howard Gutman, another Obama fundraiser turned diplomat, told lawyers attending a conference in Brussels in November 2011 that Israel is to blame for Muslim anti-Semitism in Europe.

According to the Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronot, Gutman, who is Jewish, showed conference attendees a video of himself receiving a warm welcome at a Muslim school in Brussels, which he said proved that Muslims are not anti-Semitic. Following a barrage of criticism for rationalizing the growing problem of anti-Semitism in Europe, the U.S. Embassy in Belgium removed the evidence by uploading an amended transcript of Gutman's remarks on its website.

In France, the U.S. Embassy in Paris co-sponsored a seminar to teach Muslims in France how they can politically organize themselves. Operatives from the Democratic Party coached 70 Muslim "diversity leaders" from disaffected Muslim-majority suburban slums known as banlieues on how to develop a communications strategy, raise funds and build a political base.

The French government -- which has been trying to reverse the pernicious effects of decades of state-sponsored multiculturalism -- expressed dismay at what it called "meddling."

The Obama administration's Muslim-oriented coaching sessions on community organizing come as the Persian Gulf Emirate of Qatar is busy peddling the fundamentalist teachings of Wahhabi Islam -- which not only discourages Muslim integration into the West, but actively encourages jihad [holy war] against non-Muslims -- to hundreds of thousands of disgruntled Muslim immigrants in France.

As the Obamans and the Wahhabis compete for influence among Muslim immigrants, forward-looking analysts fret that France may yet end up with politically organized jihadists turning the banlieues into Islamic emirates.
In Norway, where Muslim immigrants already have more rights than native Norwegians, the U.S. Embassy in Oslo organized a "dialogue meeting" designed to "empower" Muslim immigrant women in the country.

According to the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten, Obama's special envoy to the Muslim world, Farah Pandith, castigated the Norwegian government's integration policies as being insufficiently fair to Muslim immigrants. She also told Norwegians that Muslims are "more free to practice Islam in the United States than in any other country in the world." Conservative Party leader Erna Solberg said Norway has much to learn from the Americans.

In Britain, U.S. embassy employees in London frequently conduct outreach to help "empower" the Muslims across the country. According to a leaked U.S. diplomatic cable, for example, Ambassador Louis Susman "engages with U.K. Muslim communities regularly…he has spoken to Muslim groups in Wales and Scotland, visited the London Central Mosque, and hosted an interfaith breakfast at his residence, among other activities."

Susman has come under fire for visiting another London mosque, namely the East London Mosque, which is one of the most extreme Islamic institutions in Britain. Built with money from Saudi Arabia to propagate Wahhabi Islam, the sprawling facility is home to the London Muslim Center, which the U.S. government has long known is a haven for Islamic extremists. During his visit, Susman spoke of his "great admiration" for the mosque and his enthusiasm for meeting its staff.

According to the leaked cable, "Having the U.S. Ambassador visit and listen respectfully to Muslim points of view has an enormous impact on groups that often feel marginalized and ignored."

Frequent White House Visitors and Radical Hate Sponsors Code Pink to Muslims: ‘Help Us Cleanse Our Country’

Code Pink is a regular visitor to the White House. Obama Funder ‘Jodie Evans’ In White House Visitor Log days after Code Pink Hamas Trip

When I was researching Obama's FEC documents, I discovered that Evans was a bundler. The name of Obama funder and terrorist sympathizer Jodie Evans turns up twice in recently released White House visitor logs.

These are Obama's peeps. That this filth is welcomed at the White House is breathtaking.

Code Pink To Muslims: ‘Help Us Cleanse Our Country’

As Americans keep a wary eye on Muslim radicals in Yemen, little attention is being given to a far more dangerous enemy right in our own backyard. Under the banner of ‘anti-war’ activism, the radical group Code Pink is running banner advertisements on the English language version of the official Web site of a terrorist sympathizing group, the Muslim Brotherhood, one of which invites the Muslim Brotherhood to “join us in cleansing our country.”

The ad is entitled ‘Arrest The War Criminals.’ Only problem is, Code Pink believes the war criminals are none other than George W. Bush and Co. And they’re actively recruiting radical Muslim terrorists to help them in their cause.

A link on the ad goes to a web site that actually calls for the kidnapping of former President George W. Bush, his wife Laura, his family, and various former administration officials.

To date, not a peep has been heard from the Secret Service.
Maybe that’s because Jodie Evans, the co-founder of Code Pink was a top fundraiser for Barack Obama. Or maybe not.

This isn’t the first time the rabid feminist anti-war group has had amicable ties with terrorists. As Andrew Breitbart’s Big Government reports:

“The Muslim Brotherhood published a statement by Code Pink issued in May to promote Code Pink’s trip to Gaza that month. In December, the Muslim Brotherhood published an open letter to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak by Code Pink and the Gaza Freedom March decrying the Egyptian government’s refusal to allow the group passage into Gaza.”

If you’re under the mistaken impression that the Muslim Brotherhood is a benign member of the ‘religion of peace,’ you might want to get the straight poop from David Horowitz’s Discover the Networks. Here.

Once again, yet another radical group is discovered to have close ties to President Obama. Yawn.

Code Pink Invites Muslim Brotherhood: 'Join Us in Cleansing Our Country'

Fresh on the heels of their Hamas-protected trip to Gaza, the so-called feminist, American antiwar group Code Pink, co-founded by top Obama funder Jodie Evans, is running banner advertisements on the English language version of the official Web site of a terrorist sympathizing group, the Muslim Brotherhood, one of which invites the Muslim Brotherhood to “join us in cleansing our country.”
The ad, titled “Arrest the War Criminals” with a subhead that contains the invitation to “join us in cleansing our country” links back to a Code Pink site that calls for the kidnapping of former President George W. Bush, his wife Laura and other former members of his administration through ‘citizens arrests’ for defending America against terrorists in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks by Al Qaeda.

[American Patriot]

I think every single one of these stupid cunts ought to be loaded into boats and shipped to the nearest fucking Muslim country to live.

These bitches dishonor my family, and my Father who fought in the Korean war to help the South Koreans to keep their country as we did our own in more than one previous war. Who the FUCK do they think they are?

Fuck them. Go to hell you cunts. Bring it you fucking Muslims. TRY to cleanse this country and you will fucking die.

Where Is Call For Jihad Against Chris Matthews Sharia Slander?

Our President, Barack Hussein Obama, spoke out vigorously against any "slander" of the man Mr Obama invariably refers to as "The Prophet" Mohammed.

We have been lectured by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that any speech offensive to Muslims will not be tolerated and that First Amendment notions must give way to the sensitivities and political correctness of multiculturalism.

Where are the cries from the White House against the "Islamophobia" of Chris Matthews?

Where is Congressman Keith Ellison? Congressman Ellison refused to swear his oath of office on a Bible and did so on a Koran. Is Mr Ellison outraged by the offensive manner in which liberals refer to the law of his Koran?

In nationally broadcast remarks Democratic commentator Matthews disparaged the Romney/Ryan position (and that of the Roman Catholic Church/Evangelical Christians) as "sharia.

This was intended as an insult.

The Left is denigrating Islam and Islamic law- are they not?

The Left argues that being Pro Life is absurd and "intolerant" and in that context refersto those who oppose abortion and Planned Parenthood as engaging in "Sharia"

This is not a rare instance. Michael Brown reports

"In comments made before the presidential debate this past Tuesday, Chris Matthews claimed that Gov. Romney’s position on abortion was “almost like Sharia,” stating, “You’re saying to the country, we’re going to operate under a religious theory, under a religious belief.” In doing so, Matthews repeated the common leftwing libel that conservative moral principles with a basis in religious beliefs are equivalent to radical Islam.
In May, Rev. Billy Graham took out full page ads in North Carolina newspapers stating in part, “The Bible is clear — God’s definition of marriage is between a man and a woman. I want to urge my fellow North Carolinians to vote FOR the marriage amendment.”
Gay activist Wayne Besen responded by asking, “Do we now make our civil laws based upon Christian Sharia?”

So anyone who fails to heartily endorse the radical homosexuals is a Taliban?

".. if you argue that a baby in the womb, upon conception, is entitled to personhood status, you are espousing a position “almost like Sharia,” which Matthews sums up by exclaiming, “This is extremism!” Indeed, for Matthews, in the early stages of pregnancy, we are certainly not dealing with a baby in the womb, let alone “a fetus,” but “rather an egg that had just been fertilized, right after sex, if you will.”
So, the high regard for life and the protection of the innocent that fuels the Republican platform on abortion is nothing more than Sharia-like extremism.."

Please note Chris Matthews and the homosexuals use "sharia" as indicia of something palpably awful.

Where are the cries of outrage from Obama?

Pelosi holds secret fundraiser with Islamists, Hamas-linked groups

Posted By Neil Munro On 3:47 AM 11/02/2012 @ 3:47 AM In DC Exclusives,DC Exclusives - Original Reporting,Elections,Politics | No Comments



Democratic leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi headlined a high-dollar fundraiser in May that was attended by U.S.-based Islamist groups and individuals linked by the U.S. government to the Hamas jihad group and to the Egypt-based Muslim Brotherhood movement.

The donors at the undisclosed May 16 event included Nihad Awad, the co-founder of the Council on American Islamic Relations, according to data provided by the nonpartisan Investigative Project on Terrorism.

The CAIR group was named an unindicted conspirator in a 2007 trial of a Hamas money-smuggling group.

A covertly-taken photograph provided by the IPT shows Pelosi standing near Awad at the fundraiser. Roughly 30 people attended the fundraiser, according to the IPT.

The cheapest tickets cost $5,000, and the most expensive were $30,800 per couple, according to the event invite from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, which used the cash to fund Democratic candidates. (View the invite here)

The hosts of the event were DCCC chairman Rep. Steve Israel and two Muslim representatives, Rep. Keith Ellison and Rep. Andre Carson.

Ellison is the DCCC’s “national community outreach chair” and the co-chair of the House progressive caucus.

On Oct. 29, The Daily Caller asked Ellison’s press aide if the congressman would decline donations from Islamist groups. The aide replied that Ellison was not available to comment.

Since the May event, the DCCC has distributed a large amount of money — likely including the Islamists’ funds — to many House candidates who are part of the DCCC’s “Red to Blue” effort, which is trying unseat 55 Republican members of the House.

The list of Red to Blue candidates who got DCCC cash includes Connecticut’s Elizabeth Esty, Iowa’s Christie Vilsack, Maryland’s John Delaney and Florida’s Patrick Murphy.

Murphy is running against Florida Republican Rep. Allen West, an outspoken opponent of the Islamist groups. The groups have targeted him for defeat in 2012.

The Democrats are not expected to recapture the House in this year’s elections, prompting widespread rumors that Pelosi will retire.

The Islamist fundraiser illustrates the increasing ties between American progressives and the various Islamist groups.

That burgeoning alliance was boosted by President Barack Obama’s 2009 speech in Cairo to Muslims, including Egyptians. Prior to the speech, he insisted that Egypt’s secular government allow Muslim Brotherhood members to attend the speech. In 2011 and 2012, he pressured the Egyptian military to let the movement take power after it won elections.

The ties were also highlighted at the Democrats’ Charlotte convention, when party leaders presented and passed a 2012 party platform that excluded several Israel-related sections, including a declaration that “Jerusalem is and will remain the capital of Israel.”

Awad, in an Arabic-language interview on the Brotherhood-friendly station Al Jazeera, commended the 2012 draft as “an indication that the Democratic Party’s political platform with regard to the Middle East is developing.”

But the decision to remove the sections was so controversial that top Democratic officials decided to reinsert the Jerusalem section.

The motion to reinsert that section was met with raucous opposition from some delegates, including at least one of the 100 Muslim delegates. Eventually, the text was declared reinserted by the convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, after three voice votes failed to clearly show delegates’ approval.

The Islamist leaders at the DCCC fundraiser share many ties and ideological goals with the Muslim Brotherhood and with associated jihad groups, including Hamas.

The Muslim Brotherhood was founded in 1928. Its current leaders seek a revival of orthodox Islam, including the supremacy of sharia, which uses Islamic texts to govern many aspects of personal and communal life. For example, sharia denies any role for democracy, ethics or rights, and also subordinates legislators to imams, women to men and non-Muslims to Muslims.

The movement’s slogan is “Allah is our objective; the Quran is our law, the Prophet is our leader; Jihad is our way; and death for the sake of Allah is the highest of our aspirations.”

The Muslim Brotherhood is so popular in Egypt that it won half the seats in the newly elected parliament. The country’s new president was a top official of the movement prior to his election.

The ideological and personal links between the U.S. Islamist groups and the Brotherhood have been exposed by a series of pre-2009 FBI investigations.

In 2004, for example, the leading Islamist advocate in Washington D.C., Abdul Rahman Al-Amoudi, was jailed for 23 years after pleading guilty to crimes that were part of a Libyan-sponsored assassination attempt against a leading Saudi prince. Prior to that verdict, Alamoudi had met with President Bill Clinton and President George W. Bush.

In 2007, the extensive network was exposed by the Department of Justice during a trial of the Texas-based Holy Land Foundation. Four Muslims were found guilty of smuggling money to the Brotherhood’s affiliate in the Gaza Strip, Hamas.

During the trial, the Department of Justice named Awad’s CAIR group as an unindicted conspirator in the conspiracy. Since then, FBI officials have refused to meet with Awad.

Another attendee at the fundraiser was Mazen Asbahi, who quit President Barack Obama’s 2008 campaign when the Wall Street Journal described his ties to a hardline imam, Jamal Said, who runs a major mosque in Chicago. Said is also on the Holy Land trial’s list of unindicted conspirators.

Perhaps the most senior Islamist at the fundraiser was Jamal Barzinji.

Starting in 1963, Barzinji helped create the overlapping and extensive network of Muslim Brotherhood-affiliated groups in the U.S.

In 2003, David Kane, a senior Special Agent with the United States Customs Service, explained a government request for a search warrant of Barzinji’s office by telling a judge that “I believe that Barzinji is not only closely associated with [Palestinian Islamic Jihad]… but also with Hamas.” (View the request here)

“Analysis … evidences a conspiracy between … Barzinji … and others, known and unknown, to route money through hidden paths to terrorists, and to defraud the United States by impeding, impairing, obstructing and defeating the lawful government functions of the IRS,” said Kane’s affidavit to the judge.

One of the founding groups Barzinji helped create is the Herndon, Va.-based International Institute of Islamic Thought.

That group is credited with inventing the idea of “Islamophobia” to persuade American progressives and journalists to view the Muslim Brotherhood’s aggressive ideology as a victimized religion.

Barzinji also helped found the Muslim Students Association, which has chapters in many universities, and the North American Islamic Trust, which holds legal title to at least half of mosques in the United States, according to a U.S. government statement. NAIT was also identified as a Muslim Brotherhood group in the Justice Department’s submission in the Texas trial.

During the May fundraiser, according to IPT, Pelosi sat at the head table with Awad and Barzinji.

Media Jihad: American Journalists Embrace Islam and Assault Christianity

Mar. 25, 2013 7:24am Chris Field

Editor’s note: For TheBlaze Magazine’s April cover story, the Media Research Center’s Dan Gainor exposes in detail how the American media and Left assault Christianity and embrace Islam — even excusing radical Islamists who are intent on destroying the West.

Every issue of TheBlaze Magazine contains exclusive content not found anywhere else—online or in print. The magazine’s stories, research and special reports are reserved for subscribers to the print and/or digital edition.

Below are a few short excerpts from the April 2013 cover story, “Media Jihad.” Get the full story only in the April issue of TheBlaze Magazine.
–



In November 2001, just two months after the horrific terror attack of 9/11, the Washington Post posted a video profile of a local imam who complained about the “association of Islam and terrorism.” The Post followed with a question-and-answer session with the imam on its website.

That imam was Anwar al-Awlaki, a man considered so dangerous that just a few years later President Barack Obama ordered him shot on sight. Al-Awlaki was killed by U.S. forces using a drone-fired Hellfire missile in September 2011. His 16-year-old son Abdulrahman was killed in a separate drone attack two weeks later.

Al-Awlaki is the perfect metaphor for media coverage of Islam in the United States. American journalists bend over backward to treat Muslims in a positive way, even to ludicrous extremes. As a result, terrorists are often called “militants”—even when they are on U.S. government terror watch lists. And any open criticism of radical Islam has typically been treated as “Islamophobia.”

In a series of high-profile incidents, Islam has been depicted as the underdog facing conservative “extreme haters.” That was the case whether it was the Ground Zero Mosque, the so-called anti-Islam YouTube video, ads in subways or anything to do with Israel.
Contrast that with media coverage of Christianity and the result is like day and night.



Scandals in the Christian community have long been reported with vigor and zeal, and blame is firmly placed on faith groups like the Catholic Church. TV shows such as ABC’s now-cancelled network comedy-drama “GCB” (an abbreviation for “Good Christian Bitches”) and syndicated talk go out of their way to mock the faithful. And news outlets highlight “Christian” criminals whenever possible—remember how quick they were to blame a Norway mass shooting on a “Christian extremist.”

Frank Gaffney, the founder and president of the Center for Security Policy, said the problem with journalists’ coverage of radical Islam is that “mostly they don’t” cover the issues. And when they do cover them, they spin the result. “It’s a fictitious depiction of the narrative that is served up primarily by Islamists who are actively engaged in disinforming and subverting us from within.”

Erick Erickson, editor-in-chief of RedState.com, blamed the standard media worldview as the leading culprit in the poor coverage. Journalists have “one narrative over all others. It is victim versus victimizer, and the media like Christians as victimizers.” But it’s not just an anti-Christian bias that’s to blame, he explained, the literal danger posed by radical Muslims plays a major role in reporter reluctance to cover the downsides of Islam: “They are scared to death of Islam. First Amendment be damned, they want to live.”
[...]

ONLY THE BEGINNING

Journalists using their status to push an agenda is nothing new. But they do more than that today. The media have been depicting Islam as a modern David facing off against the Christian Goliath. David, predictably, gets good press no matter how often radical Islamists get arrested for terror plots or riot around the world over cartoons or a YouTube video.



Christians and conservatives, on the other hand, get the exact opposite treatment. They have become the stock villains for both news and entertainment media. Every critic of Christianity—especially those in the gay community—gets treated like a hero. The institutions themselves get derided as “dictatorial” or worse for not bowing to a liberal agenda. And the faithful are forever the butt of jokes and derision—all without uproar and threats of violence from the victims of the abuse.

The Center for Security Policy’s Gaffney warned that the coverage could get worse in reaction to pushback from Islamic groups. The recent documentary “Silent Conquest” cautioned that there is an “ominous pattern” of not being able to offend Islam. Muslim nations have been working with the United Nations to institute laws against “blasphemy.”

In September, President Obama argued for just that result. “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam,” he told the United Nations.

Apparently, the American media were listening.

Jimmy Carter: Paris attacks provides an opportunity for the West to discover what makes Islam “great”

Current Affairs
38 Comments



The cancer that afflicted so many members of Jimmy Carter’s family has obviously taken hold and eaten away at large portions of his brains.

He has gone mad. Off the rails, no holds barred mad.

“Jimmy Carter: Jews Safer in France than Israel,” Free Beacon, January 13, 2015
Former President Jimmy Carter said Tuesday that Jews “on the average” are “safer in France” than in Israel, despite a massive uptick in extremist violence that has targeted Jewish people living in that country.

Carter’s claim came in response to a recent call by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu inviting France’s endangered Jews to move to Israel, the world’s only Jewish state.

Jews have fled Paris en massage [sic] due to growing anti-Semitism and the recent the massacre of Jews in a kosher food store by Islamic extremists. The editor of Britain’s Jewish Chronicle said that the problem is so bad that “every single French Jew I know has either left or is actively working out how to leave.”

However, Carter said that Jews are still safer in France than in “some place in Israel,” an apparent reference to areas often struck by terrorism from groups such as Hamas.

“My guess is that the Jews who live in France will maybe not take this as a positive step, and say the only way you can be safe is to go to Israel,” Carter said in an interview with HuffPost Live. “I would guess that you may be, on the average, maybe safer in France than some places in Israel, but I’m not trying to make a judgment.”

Carter also said that the recent attacks in Paris should provide an opportunity for the West to discover what makes Islam “great.”

“I think this is going to give a lot of people incentive to look into Islamicism, what is it about this religion that makes it great, that makes it appeal to really billions of people and to understand that Islamic leaders condemn this kind of terrorism just like the rest of the world,” he said.

An American Intifada – Communists and Radical Islamists Join Forces

Posted on January 18, 2015 by TMH

By: Terresa Monroe-Hamilton

The Dream Defenders

Trevor Loudon wrote an article that each and every one of us should read and take note of: Intifada USA? American Radicals Build Ties to “Palestinian” Revolutionaries. I agree completely with Trevor when he says that 2015 could usher in chaos, unrest and violence as we have not seen in our lifetime. The Communists are now joining hands in America with the Radical Islamists, forming an American Intifada – an uprising, resistance, revolt. They are using racism as the building blocks and their hate for America as the glue to forward massive havoc and violence in our streets.

The riots in Ferguson and New York were just the warm up act for these thugs. They are looking to create what they think is an American Spring, which will push every radical and Communist ideal there is out there. It will scream racism, go after the police and alphabet agencies, cry social and environmental injustice, push demands for Islamic acceptance and Shariah law – and in the mix will be the ever-present Jew-hatred which is the kindling for their hatred. In this twisted case, the enemy of my enemy is my ally. For the short term anyway.

Taking the lead are primarily Black and Latino revolutionaries who claim to represent the movements for “black lives” and racial justice, who took a jaunt to Palestine to show solidarity against – you guessed it – Israel. Meet the Dream Defenders Palestine Delegation:

Representatives at the forefront of the movements for Black lives and racial justice took a historic trip to Palestine in early January to connect with activists living under Israeli occupation.

Black journalists, artists and organizers representing Ferguson, Black Lives Matter, Black Youth Project 100 (BYP100) and more have joined the Dream Defenders for a 10-day trip to the occupied Palestinian Territories and Israel.

The trip comes after a year of highly-publicized repression in Ferguson, the Gaza Strip and West Bank, including East Jerusalem, as well as solidarity between these places.

Ahmad Abuznaid, Dream Defenders’ legal and policy director and a co-organizer of the delegation, said that the goal of the trip was to make connections.

“The goals were primarily to allow for the group members to experience and see first-hand the occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality Israel has levied against Palestinians, but also to build real relationships with those on the ground leading the fight for liberation,” wrote Abuznaid.

“In the spirit of Malcolm X, Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael and many others, we thought the connections between the African American leadership of the movement in the U.S. and those on the ground in Palestine needed to be reestablished and fortified.”

Abuznaid said the trip represented a chance to bring the power of Black organizing to Palestine.
“As a Palestinian who has learned a great deal about struggle, movement, militancy and liberation from African Americans in the U.S., I dreamt of the day where I could bring that power back to my people in Palestine. This trip is a part of that process.”
[…]

For Steven Pargett, communications director for Dream Defenders, visiting the Dheisheh Refugee Camp outside of Bethlehem made these connections clearer: “A camp doesn’t have to have a fence with barbed wire all around it in order to be a place where displaced people are struggling to survive.”

Pargett said that Black people in the United States are also displaced refugees.

“Our refugee camps are lower income communities and project buildings all around the country that many would not be living in had we not been taken into slavery generations ago. Rather than having the Israeli Defense occupation in our hoods, we have the occupation of police officers who often prove to have little regard for our lives, being that they are not from these communities,” Pargett wrote.

Hip-hop was a unifying force for the delegation, Pargett said, commenting that Palestinians have been inspired by hip-hop in the U.S. and use it as a tool to amplify their own voices.
St. Louis-based rapper and activist Tef Poe said his experience in the camps connecting through hip-hop was the best day of his life.

“A refugee camp with a bunch of people fighting for their lives and using hip hop to lift their spirits and spark the minds of the children and break down gender barriers between young girls and boys,” Tef posted to Facebook. “I spent a day with these ppl .. Most amazing day of my life. Thanks be to the Most, the struggle is beautiful.”

This trip is another chapter in the recent history of Black-Palestinian solidarity. In November, a group of 10 Palestinian student activists visited Ferguson and St. Louis, meeting with people organizing in the streets.
A month later, upon their return, the students hosted a series of events at their university in the West Bank to raise awareness with the Black struggle and stand in solidarity. Dream Defenders unanimously passed a resolution to support the Palestinian Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement in this interval.
[…]

Moving forward, delegates expressed a desire for Black and American action in support of Palestine.
“I believe the Black Lives Matter movement can benefit greatly by learning about struggles outside of the U.S., but particularly the Palestinian struggle,” said Patrisse Cullors. “I want this trip to be an example for how Black folks and Arab communities can be in better solidarity with one another.”

Cherrell Brown sees joint action as a way to global freedom.

“I want us to take back things we can do in the now, as Americans, to raise awareness and action around Palestinian liberation. I want us to reimagine what society could and will look like when we’ve dismantled this white-supremacist patriarchal and capitalist society. I want us to do it together. I want to bring back these conversations and stories in hopes that it will help add to this global struggle to get free.”

The full list of delegates includes five Dream Defenders (Phillip Agnew, Ciara Taylor, Steven Pargett, Sherika Shaw, Ahmad Abuznaid), Tef Poe and Tara Thompson (Ferguson/Hands Up United), journalist Marc Lamont Hill, Cherrell Brown and Carmen Perez (Justice League NYC), Charlene Carruthers (Black Youth Project), poet and artist Aja Monet, Patrisse Cullors (Black Lives Matter), and Maytha Alhassen, a USC PhD student. Catch up with the delegation and follow their last few days using #DDPalestine on Twitter and Instagram.

Gee, that’s a who’s who of racists, social justice agitators and Communists. Just look how chummy and united they have all become. I know you will be really, really shocked to learn that the Tides Foundation is funding this. And who is behind the Tides Foundation? Why, that old spider George Soros who hates Jews, America and freedom in general. You know, the guy who gave $33 million to the activists who took part in Ferguson and other venues of violence.

This is all part of a movement that has been gathering steam for a while now and it is thoroughly anti-Israel. Guess who is in the thick of it? Dr. Marc Lamont Hill of HuffPost Live, BET News and CNN. Watch it Marc, your antisemitism is showing and badly. Our comrade Hill also spouted revolutionary rhetoric to promote the Dream Defenders. Ferguson, Eric Garner and #BlackLivesMatter protests have become the calling card for the new face of the Occupy Movement. You are witnessing the rise of the Islamo-Communist Axis in America.


No one has documented this burgeoning, morphing movement better than Legal Insurrection. The infiltration and hijacking of the movement was documented by LI in a series of posts and an Op-Ed in The NY Post:

• Intifada Missouri – Anti-Israel activists may push Ferguson over the edge
• Anti-Israel activist still stoking fires in #Ferguson
• “Pigs in a blanket” chanted in #Ferguson long before #NYPD executions
• The Anti-Israel, Anti-Police Alliance
• Partners in protest: The anti-Israel, cop-bash link

The convoluted logic of the Leftists here is mind-bending. LI explains:

This is all part of a larger effort, particularly on U.S. campuses, to use “intersectional” theory to tie domestic race issues into Palestinian complaints about Israel, among other ways, through exaggeration and in some cases fabrication of alleged Israeli training of U.S. police. That way, any use of excessive force by a U.S. policeman is cause for anti-Israel activists to blame Israel and try to stoke hatred of Israel in domestic communities.

It’s a sick tactic, but it is one deeply ingrained in the anti-Israel movement in the U.S., which has sought to foment and exploit racial tensions long before Ferguson.

Wrap your head around that one and ponder it for a moment. When Dream Defenders went to Nazareth in Israel (which they called Palestine) to show their solidarity with Palestine, they also did a lame flash mob. Not a lot of people came, but since when has that deterred extremists?



You wouldn’t think of it as a joke though if you visited anti-Israel sites such as Mondoweiss and Electronic Intifada. All of this to converge racial tensions in America with the fight against Israel. For instance, the group met with, among others, Omar Barghouti, a founder of the international anti-Israel boycott movement. They only need a few, loud people who photograph well and a really good videographer to make it seem mainstream. An article was also written up in Ebony Magazine by recently graduated Stanford University student and Students for Justice in Palestine activist, Kristian Davis Baily, who has been arguing the case for Why Black People Must Stand With Palestine.

Of course the lapdog media are labeling these hatemongers as ‘Freedom Fighters.’ Quite the opposite actually. Israel is not occupying anything – what these people really want is the ultimate lack of freedom for Israel – for them not to exist. After all, Islam and the Caliphate demand it as does the Ummah.

The Communists hate the American police. Unless the police are firmly under the command and control by a fellow Communist such as Obama, they feel they must be weakened and relentlessly attacked. They are a threat to their plans. A quote from GlobalGrind pretty much sums it up:

The 10-day trip — co-organized by Dream Defenders’ legal and policy director, Palestinian American Ahmad Abuznaid — was a historic and unprecedented action to connect the oppression of black and brown people globally to the U.S. A number of representatives on the trip, including St. Louis rapper and poet Tef Poe, stood tirelessly on the front lines of demonstrations in Ferguson, Mo. just months before to dismantle state violence, specifically the death of black bodies at the hands of a militarized police force.

Charming, huh? Students from Palestine journeyed to Ferguson to meet with activists organizing demonstrations in response to the killing of 18-year-old Michael Brown Jr. late last year as well… so this is symbiotic in nature. See how the Communists, Racial Justice and the Palestinian Liberation Movement have crawled into bed together?

Lest you think these are just wayward radicals in our streets and the government is not actively involved, think again. Did you know the US Consulate in Jerusalem is now arming Palestinian guards in direct violation of a 2011 agreement where we swore not to do that? The guards are now claiming the chief security officer is forming a Palestinian militia. They are training 35 Palestinians from East Jerusalem to serve as armed guards, particularly for consular trips to the West Bank’s Area A, which is off-limits to Israelis. This directly violates a 2011 agreement between Israel and the consulate, the Hebrew daily Yedioth Ahronoth stated, whereby only IDF combat veterans would be authorized to carry arms as consulate guards. The security staff was to only be American diplomats or Israeli army veterans. This is a blatant betrayal siding with the enemies of Israel and bluntly stating that we trust the Palestinians more than Israel – agreements be damned.

As an addendum, Israeli guards at the consulate alleged that the Palestinians were being trained with firearms in Jericho at a Palestinian Preventative Security base and in the United States. I believe that is true considering the hate that Obama bears for Israel.
From the Times of Israel:

Regional Security Officer Dan Cronin, Israeli guards claimed, “is in effect setting up an armed Palestinian militia in the consulate. They are being trained with weapons, in Krav Maga, and tactical driving. It’s irresponsible. Who can guarantee that such weapons in the hands of Palestinians won’t spread to terror?”

The US Consulate denied a Times of Israel request to speak with Cronin and declined to directly address the assertions in the article. “The US Consulate General in Jerusalem has full confidence in the professionalism of its staff,” a US official said. “We do not discuss the security of our diplomatic missions, but note there are many inaccuracies in the story.”

“In addition,” he said, “we coordinate fully and regularly with local authorities.”

He would not detail the alleged inaccuracies.

The Israeli security guards, three of whom reportedly quit in protest, asserted that the consulate also keeps machine guns and rifles on the premises, further violating the alleged agreement, and that one senior staff member had served time in Israeli prison for membership in the Fatah organization.

The US and many European nations, which do not officially have embassies in the West Bank, keep an embassy in Tel Aviv, which handles Israeli affairs, and a consular office in Jerusalem, straddling the eastern and western sides of the city, which handles Palestinians’ affairs. This requires frequent travel to the West Bank, parts of which are, by law, off-limits to Israeli citizens. Convoys of US staff, therefore, often require the presence of American armed guards.

The US Consulate, stationed on the edge of the Jewish neighborhood of Arnona in West Jerusalem, sees itself, the article stated, “as the embassy of the United States of America in Palestine.”

The US is obviously gearing up for a fight against Israel. We are definitely on the wrong side of history and God.

The unrest in the US is far from over. As each new incident where a Black or Hispanic dies due to conflict with the police, look for the police to be blamed. The end goal here is for Obama to fully nationalize the police and put all forces under the purview of DHS. That way they answer to the Executive Branch and not to the states, cities or citizens. It’s right out of the Marxist playbook Obama is following. So, violence and chaos are sure to escalate. Watch for it.

Also watch for more confrontation with the Muslim Brotherhood and Islamic organizations in the US. They are testing us at every weak point – see the call to prayer almost initiated at Duke University and currently being implemented at UCLA. There will be violence across the nation as well pushed by the PLO, terrorists, radical Islamists, the Nation of Islam and the New Black Panther Party. They will use race as their weapon of choice.

The Communists feel that if they can create enough upheaval, violence, confusion and chaos, that Obama will claim he was forced to act. This could mean martial law or a variety of unconstitutional edicts. Already, Obama is announcing he is getting ready to back a government-run Internet and does not need Congress’ permission to do so. It is one more step in taking over our freedoms and nullifying the Constitution.

The Islamo-Communist Axis is igniting an American Intifada. Communists, revolutionary radicals and Islamists are joining forces to transform America permanently. While Obama is gutting us militarily and our foreign policy abroad, he has set loose the Communist hounds to tear at the soft belly of American justice and integrity. If we are gutted and bleeding from within, Obama knows we cannot fight the enemies without. He’s counting on it.
