Diana West: Huma Abedin and Form 86

Every part of Washington is infested with Islamists. But don’t worry, once a terrorist or terrorist-supporting Muslim is given an official position of any kind, then suddenly he or she is deemed ‘clean.’ It’s a massive laundering scheme.

“So, Ms. Abedin, let me get this straight: Your folks, and you, too, worked with a guy who founded a terrorist organization linked to al-Qaida, your mom’s on the board of a group banned in Israel for supporting Hamas, and you want top-secret clearance to work for the secretary of state.

Then what happened?”

Diana West – Two weeks ago, I wrote about the handful of House Republicans, led by Rep. Michele Bachmann of Minnesota, who sent letters in June to inspectors general at five government departments, asking them to investigate evidence of Muslim Brotherhood influence on U.S. government policymaking. The Muslim Brotherhood is a global Islamic movement engaged, according to the group’s own internal document, on a “grand jihad” in North America to destroy “Western civilization from within.” To date, the inspectors general haven’t responded.

Nonetheless, Bachmann and her colleagues — Trent Franks of Arizona, Louie Gohmert of Texas, Tom Rooney of Florida and Lynn Westmoreland of Georgia — have focused attention on the disastrous policy of bringing members of known Muslim Brotherhood fronts and their associates into Uncle Sam’s policymaking chain. The representatives’ letters went to inspectors general at State, Justice, Defense, Homeland Security and the Office of the National Intelligence Director. These government nerve centers are increasingly advancing policies American leaders once would have excoriated for supporting the enemies of this country.

Is it by chance, for example, that director of national intelligence James Clapper, reading from prepared notes, absurdly described the Muslim Brotherhood to the House Intelligence Committee last year as a “largely secular” organization? Is it an accident that in June the State Department issued a visa to Hani Nour Eldin of Egypt to meet with senior White House officials? Eldin is a member of Gama’a al-Islamiyya, a terrorist organization once led by Omar Abdel Rahman, “the blind sheikh” convicted of the first attack on the World Trade Center. In the person of Rahman’s successor, Refai Ahmed Taha, the group is one of the five signatories of Osama bin Laden’s February 1998 “World Islamic Front Statement Urging Jihad Against Jews and Crusaders.” Isn’t it imperative to review the policy mechanism that permitted a member of bin Laden’s jihad front into the White House?

According to our elected officials, the answer is no. Not one House member, Democrat, Republican or tea party, has come out in solidarity with the National Security Five. Typically, the mainstream media have reacted not by digging up facts themselves (what are they, journalists?), but rather by throwing mud on Michele Bachmann. “Stop ‘witch-hunting’ Huma Abedin, top aide to Hillary Clinton,” is the war cry from CNN to USA Today. Many conservative outlets, such as Fox and The Washington Examiner, are strangely silent.

To be sure, one of the Bachmann letters notes the case of Huma Abedin — a confidante of the secretary of state whose family has dense ties to Muslim Brotherhood organizations. She has become the human face used to distract from the overarching national security issue. Honest answers to the wide array of questions the House members have asked would expose high elected officials in both parties as dupes of our enemies, at best. The American people would find out how Uncle Sam came to support al-Qaida in Libya; Muslim Brothers in Egypt; and, now, al-Qaida and Muslim Brothers in Syria. An honest investigation would spotlight the internal process that led Uncle Sam to sponsor a new international counterterrorism organization without Israel. The shameful fact is, our power-elites don’t want these questions answered because the answers would threaten their hold on power.

Bachmann & Co. haven’t alleged wrongdoing on Abedin’s part. Rather, their question turns on the process that permitted a person with close family ties to an array of world Islamic movements and figures hostile to the United States to gain the security clearance Abedin requires to serve alongside the secretary of state.

I looked over the lengthy Form 86 that federal employees fill out to apply for national security positions. One portion is devoted to an applicant’s relatives, with a question about relatives’ affiliations with any “foreign movement.” If Abedin answered fully — and there are stiff penalties for failing to do so — she would have noted, for starters, that her mother, Saleha Abedin, belongs to the Muslim Sisterhood (the Brotherhood’s auxiliary, primarily for relatives of prominent Brothers) and serves on the board of the International Islamic Council for Dawah and Relief, a group banned in Israel for supporting Hamas. Saleha Abedin has been a representative of the Muslim World League, whose affiliates have been charged by the U.S. government with funding terrorism. Any ensuing investigation would turn up Saleha’s work with the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs, where she edits the journal that Huma, too, worked on for a dozen years. That same institute was founded by Huma’s father in Saudi Arabia with the assistance and long-term involvement of Abdullah Omar Naseef. Naseef was secretary-general of the Muslim World League and also founded the Rabita Trust, a U.S.-designated international terrorist organization with ties to al-Qaida.

There’s more, but just imagine the light dawning on the background-checker: So, Ms. Abedin, let me get this straight: Your folks, and you, too, worked with a guy who founded a terrorist organization linked to al-Qaida, your mom’s on the board of a group banned in Israel for supporting Hamas, and you want top-secret clearance to work for the secretary of state.

Then what happened?

Video: Pam Geller on Ezra Levant – NY Times is sharia-compliant

More NY Slimes hypocrisy.

Senior Pentagon official goes apologizing at Washington mosques

Pathetic.

AP (h/t Weasel Zippers) – A senior Pentagon official is apologizing to Washington-area Muslims for the burning of Qurans at a military base in Afghanistan.

Peter Lavoy, acting assistant secretary of defense for Asia and Pacific security affairs, says the military is investigating and that all troops are being retrained in the handling of religious materials.

Lavoy’s remarks were Friday at a mosque in suburban Washington, D.C. They come after protests across Afghanistan over the burning of several Qurans at a U.S. military base. Military officials say 20 people have died in the protests, including two U.S. soldiers.

President Barack Obama has apologized for the burning, which authorities say was a mistake. But the protests continue.

Obama Justice Department forces Illinois school district to pay Muslim teacher $75K in compensation for trip to Mecca

This is absolutely outrageous. She didn’t have to take her hajj at this time. Islam uses a lunar calendar, and the time for hajj is always changing. She could have waited for summer or a time that coincides with school breaks. She just wanted to blast another hole into the American way of life.

America will not survive another Obama term. This loathsome, American-hating thug and his entire despicable administration is ripping the heart and soul out of America.

The Muslim woman boasts:

“I hope this does set a precedent. I hope they realize that hajj means a lot to Muslims and there will be more and more people taking the trip. I hope this helps people and their employers to accommodate Muslims and their requests.”

Count on it, lady. As long as Barack Hussein Obama and his cabal control Washington, you and all your friends will get to trample on Americans as much as you like.

As Robert Spencer writes at Jihad Watch, “This is clearly just another attempt to force American workplaces to change the way they operate in order to accommodate Muslims, once again reinforcing the principle that where Islamic law and practice and American law and practice conflict, it is American law and practice that have to give way. … This is a classic stealth jihad case. For a full explanation of the agenda here, see Pamela Geller’s new book Stop the Islamization of America: A Practical Guide to the Resistance.”

Chicago Sun-Times (h/t Weasel Zippers) — A Muslim woman has won her fight against a west suburban school district after being denied unpaid leave to go on a religious pilgrimage to Mecca.

The U.S. Department of Justice on Thursday announced it settled Safoorah Khan’s religious discrimination lawsuit against the Berkeley School District, forcing the district to pay $75,000 in lost back pay, compensatory damages and attorneys’ fees.

The district also will have to develop a policy accommodating religions consistent with the Civil Rights Acts to ensure something similar will not happen again.

Khan, a teacher at MacArthur Middle School, requested an unpaid leave of absence in December 2008 to perform hajj — a pilgrimage required by Islam — but was told she had to choose between her job and her religious beliefs. She resigned.

“I’m glad that we settled and I hope this does set a precedent,” Khan said. “I hope they realize that hajj means a lot to Muslims and there will be more and more people taking the trip. I hope this helps people and their employers to accommodate Muslims and their requests.”

According to the settlement, the district must also provide mandatory training on religious accommodations to all board of education members and school supervisors.

Khan, now 30, says she went to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, the year she resigned.

“It’s required once in our lifetime at the earliest opportunity you can get,” she said.

Eye-opening news report about sharia law in Australia

A short 12 years ago very few people ever gave a thought to Islam, and almost no one in the West even knew the word ‘sharia’. Now, not only do we know it, world leaders around the globe demand that we love, endorse, and respect Islam, no matter what crime or inhumanity is done in the name of the twisted religion. What changed?

Iran carries out another public execution in front of mob

As always, no outrage, not a peep, from Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, the UN, EU, or mainstream media. Iran has carried out at least 28 public executions so far this year, including children. None received a fair trial.

Just one month ago, recall:

The U.N. General Assembly elected Iran one of its vice presidents and Qatar as president, each for a year-long term starting in September.

At one and the same time the Obama State Department has been blanketing the airwaves with speeches on this administration’s love affair with the UN under the title “principled engagement.”

______________________________

UK Daily Mail - Lined up standing on buses in front of a baying mob with their necks tied to a bridge, these are the final moments of three men subjected to a public hanging.

But rather than originating from decades ago, these pictures were taken last week in Iran, where the death penalty is still publicly used to this day.

After the ties are secured, the buses on which the men stand are driven away, leaving the hastily-convicted criminals hanging in front of crowds of onlookers, many of whom are children.

The footage was released by human rights group Amnesty International, who have denounced the renewed surge in the use of the death penalty across the Islamic republic.

The video was shot on July in Azadi Square, in the western city of Kermanshah and features the public execution of three men convicted of rape.

During the 26-second clip in which the crimes of the men are announced over a loudspeaker, numerous onlookers are seen photographing or filming the graphic executions.

Human rights officials are concerned not only about the executions, but also the legal system preceding them.

It is thought the three men seen hanged were tried and convicted of rape within two months, raising questions about the fairness of their trial.

Amnesty International say the deaths are among at least 28 executions acknowledged by the authorities.

The group’s Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director Hassiba Hadj Sahraoui said: ‘These latest public executions underline the continuing horror of the death penalty in Iran.

‘Not only those executed, but all those who watch public executions, including, children, are brutalised and degraded by the experience.

‘These public displays of killing perpetuate a culture of acceptance of violence and bloodlust, rather than a belief in justice.

‘It is deeply disturbing that despite a moratorium on public executions ordered in 2008, the Iranian authorities are once again resorting to this inhuman practice.

‘All executions violate the right to life. Those carried out publicly are a gross affront to human dignity which cannot be tolerated.

‘Executions after speedy unfair trials are no solution to the extremely serious problem of rape in Iran, which feeds on the acceptance of violence against women at all levels of society.

‘The Iranian authorities should be aiming to combat this culture of violence rather than perpetuate it through these public displays of brutality.’

The executions follow several widely publicised gang rapes of women this year in Iran. In some cases, officials blamed the victims for failing to adhere to the official code on dress or gender segregation.

According to UN human rights experts, executions in public serve no legitimate purpose and only increase the cruel, inhuman and degrading nature of this punishment.

The Iranian authorities do not publish official statistics on their use of the death penalty, despite repeated calls for transparency by UN human rights bodies.

81% of mosques in America promote sharia and violence

Frank Gaffney was on FNC to talk about a disturbing new survey that found that the vast majority of American mosques are incubators for radical Islam. 81% of mosques advocate or promote violence and some 60% have invited in imams who are known to promote jihad.

Ukraine: Muslim girl stoned to death for entering beauty contest

Katya

This is normally something you’d expect to hear coming out Pakistan, or any of the other 56 Muslim countries. But this was the Ukraine.

The girl, Katya Koren, 19, was killed by fellow Muslim youths. One of them under investigation told police she had ‘violated the laws of Sharia’.

No other religion in the world practices the kind of twisted violence that Islam promotes and carries out every single day around the world. But, Barack Obama says, “respect it!”

UK Daily Mail-  A teenage Muslim girl was stoned to death under ‘Sharia law’ after taking part in a beauty contest in Ukraine.

Katya Koren, 19, was found dead in a village in the Crimea region near her home.

Friends said she liked wearing fashionable clothes and had come seventh in a beauty contest. Her battered body was buried in a forest and was found a week after she disappeared.

Police have opened a murder probe and are investigating claims that three Muslim youths killed her claiming her death was justified under Islam.

One of the three – named as 16-year-old Bihal Gaziev – is under arrest and told police she had ‘violated the laws of Sharia’.

Gaziev said he had no regrets about her death because she had violated the laws of Islam.

Obama Admin praises Al-Jazeera again, “They’re a really important media entity, we have a really great relationship with them”

There is no space between the Obama Administration and radical Islam. In every aspect of government and culture, the Obama Administration has spooned up with Islam.

Islam and shariah have gained more ground both on the global map and in American society during two years of the Obama presidency than it has under every prior president combined.

Gee, it’s almost as if Barack Hussein Obama were a Muslim himself…

Politico (h/t Weasel Zippers)— In the halls of American power, the Arab Spring has brought Al-Jazeera in from the cold.

Seven years after then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld called the broadcaster’s reporting “vicious, inaccurate and inexcusable” and President George W. Bush joked about bombing it, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton praised it as “real news” in her recent Senate testimony.

Not only that, her staffers, as well as those of the CIA and the Obama White House, were attending the Congressional Correspondents’ Dinner as Al-Jazeera’s guests.

“They are a really important media entity, and we have a really great relationship with them,” said Dana Shell Smith, the State Department’s deputy assistant secretary for international media engagement, who speaks Arabic and has frequently appeared on the channel. “This administration has empowered those of us who actually do the communicating to be in a close relationship with Al-Jazeera. They understand that the relationship can’t consist of complaining to each other about the differences we have.”

The differences also have shrunk as the big story in the Middle East has shifted from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the democratic movements sweeping the region. In the recent uprisings, U.S. interests tended to line up with Al-Jazeera’s, and President Barack Obama alluded to both the network’s influence and its pro-democracy bent in remarks caught on an open mic during a closed-door fundraiser last week.

“The emir of Qatar come by the Oval Office today, and he owns Al-Jazeera basically,” Obama said in remarks recorded by CBS News’s Mark Knoller. “Pretty influential guy. He is a big booster, big promoter of democracy all throughout the Middle East. Reform, reform, reform. You’re seeing it on Al-Jazeera.”

Islamic blasphemy hitmen kill exonerated man in Pakistan

Exonerated blasphemer

A Pakastani man was accused of heresy and spent 2 years in jail before finally being exonerated. But, in the Islamic badlands of Pakistan, that’s not good enough.

Some Islamonazi “vigilantes” took matters into their own hands, tracked the innocent blasphemer down and shot him dead. Mohamed Imran left behind a wife and little girl with no one to support them. Isn’t shariah great?

Click on the picture of the man’s now fatherless daughter for CNN’s video on the story.

Exonerated blasphemer's young daughter (click to watch)

Talahore, Pakistan (CNN) – Mohamed Imran had been accused, jailed, tried and cleared: if anything, society owed him a debt as a man wrongfully accused.

But his crime was blasphemy. He was meant to have said something derogatory about the prophet Mohammed, so in Pakistan justice worked a little differently.

Two weeks after he returned to his small patch of farmland on the rustic outskirts of Islamabad, his alleged crime caught up with him.

Two gunmen burst into the shoe shop where he was sat talking to a friend. Imran tried to duck, to seek cover behind the man next to him – terrified so greatly for his own life that he perhaps forgot about those around him.

But the gunmen found their target and Pakistan’s controversial blasphemy laws claimed another victim.

14-year old Bangladeshi girl lashed to death

Savages.

This stuff goes on all the time. One could spend the entire day recounting the torture and slaughter that occurs all around the world in the name of Islam and sharia.

Sharia kills and maims every day, but this is what Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton intend to bring to the entire Middle East through their support of the Muslim Brotherhood, Iran, and their proxies.

Shariatpur, Bangladesh (CNN)  - Hena Akhter’s last words to her mother proclaimed her innocence. But it was too late to save the 14-year-old girl.

Her fellow villagers in Bangladesh’s Shariatpur district had already passed harsh judgment on her. Guilty, they said, of having an affair with a married man. The imam from the local mosque ordered the fatwa, or religious ruling, and the punishment: 101 lashes delivered swiftly, deliberately in public.

Hena dropped after 70.

Bloodied and bruised, she was taken to hospital, where she died a week later.

Amazingly, an initial autopsy report cited no injuries and deemed her death a suicide. Hena’s family insisted her body be exhumed. They wanted the world to know what really happened to their daughter.  (keep reading >>)

Melanie Phillips under investigation by UK police for referring to Itamar savages as ‘savages’

The Leftist, Israel-bashing UK Guardian newspaper claims that columnist Melanie Phillips is being investigated by the British PC police for referring to the Arab savages who massacred the Fogel family in Itamar, Israel last week as “savages”.

I linked to Melanie Phillips’ suspected piece when it first appeared. In her column, entitled ‘Armchair Barbarism’, Melanie shames many in the Western media (The New York Times, CNN, BBC…) for their pathetic coverage of the demonic murders that were carried out by these media outlets’ beloved Palestinians, and how quickly the story came to be about “settlements” and not the murder itself.

She wrote:

“So to the New York Times, it’s not the Arab massacre of a Jewish family which has jeopardised ‘peace prospects’ — because the Israelis will quite rightly never trust any agreement with such savages — but instead Israeli policy on building more homes, on land to which it is legally and morally entitled, which is responsible instead for making peace elusive. Twisted, and sick.”

I have a feeling that Melanie Phillips is not too surprised by a possible investigation, though she is probably well-aware how troublesome such nonsense can become.

Melanie is the author of the classic “Londonistan“, and a new book, ‘World Turned Upside Down‘, in which she writes about just such absurd, upside-down, political-correctness-run-amuck state of affairs in England and the not-for-long democratic free world.

According to the Guardian, Ms. Phillips’ piece:

“…prompted two complaints to the press watchdog, one of them from Engage, a group promoting Muslim engagement in British society.

Inayat Bunglawala, chair of Muslims4UK, said: “Her words went far beyond just denouncing the killings. It was a far more generalised racist outburst against Arabs as a whole.

“If you insert the word ‘Jew’ or ‘Jewish’ where she has referred to Arabs then I am sure she would have no doubt that those words would be antisemitic. Just as she abhors antisemitism it is important that she maintains the same vigorous anti-racist stance against Arabs. It is just unacceptable to use that kind of language.”

Bunglawala said he had also complained to the police about the column.

Fraser Nelson writing at the Spectator’s ‘Coffeehouse’ blog says that the police are not investigating Ms. Phillips…yet. He blames the confusion on the Leftwing UK Guardian and Independent papers. Nelson writes that the whole thing went down like this:

The Guardian has written this story up, claiming The Spectator is being investigated by the Press Complaints Commission. This is untrue. The PCC tell me that a complaint has been lodged, but that’s as far as it has gone. They investigate only if they believe there is a serious prospect that their code has been breached, and it hasn’t.

[...] CoffeeHousers should go easy on the Bedfordshire Police, they have probably filed this complaint in the same drawer as UFO sightings. But it’s interesting to see how easily the media is manipulated. Here’s how it goes:

1) Inayat Bunglawala, chair of Muslims4UK, gets angry about what he reads on Melanie’s blog.
2) Complains to the PCC.
3) Complains to the police.
4) Phones up The Guardian and says “The PCC are investigating The Spectator!! Story!! Police too!!
5) The Guardian duly writes it all up, on its website.
6) The Independent follows up The Guardian.
7) An inverted pyramid of piffle is thus constructed.

England has no First Amendment protection to freedom of speech as in America. Hence, such abuses by freedom-hating groups like Muslims4UK can quickly and easily target anyone whose opinion they don’t like.

Ironically, the last piece Melanie wrote for the magazine was about the freedom of speech.

For an example of Melanie Phillips outspoken intelligence and courage, watch Melanie speak the raw truth in a recent interview on Israeli television. She does so in a manner so measured and convincing that you will hardly believe your ears.

Rarely will you ever hear anyone speak so forthrightly on television. Especially in Israel, where the air waves are exclusively in the hands of the Liberal establishment. It’s only ten minutes, but she speaks more honesty and wisdom in ten minutes than you will hear in ten years of talking heads on any of the alphabet channels in America or elsewhere. No wonder the sharia-pushing Muslims and Leftists in England would like to silence her.

Robert Spencer at Jihad Watch has his own interesting take on the story here. He says that perhaps she made a mistake referring to the murderers as ‘Arabs’, “when the murderers of the Fogels were killing not because they were Arabs, but because they were Muslims, and Islamic jihadists.”

UPDATE: Melanie responds to the accusations, and much more. Read what she has to say.

Obama official urges cable companies to carry Al-Jazeera

For the past month we have heard various political and media elites praising Al Jazeera, and especially their coverage of the revolution in Egypt. Nothing is coincidence with the Left.

Liberals like Alan Colmes, Sam Donaldson, the New York Slimes, ABC, The Huffington Post, and The Economist all think Al Jazeera is harmless and deserving of being aired in America. Even some on the right have chimed in how Al-Jazeera ain’t so bad, like John Fund.

Cable channels can run whatever they want. If they think it’ll be good business, they will. But no one in government should be promoting an Islamic organization dedicated to the demise of America and Israel, especially anyone in the the Obama Administration.

Ed Lasky at American Thinker writes:

AL Jazeera is filled with anti-American propaganda. It is also awash in anti-Semitism. The material broadcast stokes terror and violence.

Why would the person who Barack Obama appointed to be the Assistant Secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, Juliette Kayyem, advocate American cable companies carry the channel-a channel that cannot help but inflame tensions and anger and one that is not known for unbiased accuracy.

We have enough terror apologists in the media already without an entire station devoted to obscuring the truth being beamed into America’s homes.

From an op-ed by Kayyem in the Boston Globe: (h/t Canaryinthecoalmine)

FOR THE past few weeks, a parallel plot line to the revolutions in the Arab world has been playing out in the media. With rare exceptions, the largest American cable and satellite providers simply do not provide viewers access to Al Jazeera English, the cousin to the powerful Qatar-based world news network. AJE has launched a full-fledged campaign – including advertisements quoting, of all people, major US news figures – to convince cable carriers to open their programming. But most have declined: Burlington, Vt., is the closest city to Boston where viewers can see the network on television.

AJE’s battle with the cable carriers is major news in the Middle East. Not carrying the network sends a message to the Arab world about America’s willingness to accept information, unfiltered, from the very region we spend so much time talking about. These television wars began not in Tunisia or Egypt, but in Iraq.

Canada public schools bow down to Islamic prayer

I guess Canada didn’t get the message coming out of Germany, France, and England, that multiculturalism is a “failure” that only leads to a democratic society’s eventual destruction.

As Islam expert Robert Spencer writes, “When in Muslim countries, non-Muslims must adapt to Islamic mores. When in non-Muslim countries, non-Muslims must adapt to Islamic mores.”

The Record (h/t Jihad Watch)

WATERLOO REGION — Walk through the wooden door into the secluded, carpeted room with holy books and prayer mats, and it’s hard to believe you’re in a school.

But this is the beginning of a new phase for public and Catholic schools where prayer rooms could become commonplace.

Under a provincewide policy, school boards must be more inclusive and accommodate different faiths during the school day.

This could mean a private place for Muslim students who pray five times a day and for students who are fasting, a modified gym class and a separate room for them so they don’t have to watch their peers eat lunch.

The newly adopted faith and accommodation policy states that each student has a right to follow his or her beliefs free from discrimination or harassment. Areas of reasonable accommodation include observance of major religious holy days and celebrations, prayers and rituals, dietary requirements and fasting, religious attire and participation in school curriculum and extracurricular activities.

NASA to name spaceship after Egyptian protestor

Killed protestor off to heaven on U.S. taxpayer's dime

Obama’s NASA has wasted no time putting into effect its new “foremost priority” of making Muslims feel good about themselves.

It’s not enough that Muslims get to fly off to heaven to be eternally pleased by virgins after blowing up infidels. NASA wants to immortalize Muslims killed by other Muslims by placing their names on spaceships.

‘Course, you have to be one of Obama’s kind of Muslims. If you were, say, Neda Soltan, the pretty, young Iranian martyr who was murdered by one of Ahmadinejad’s henchman, no spaceship for you! You died for the wrong kind of democracy, baby.

No rocket for Neda.

The last great mind to come out of Egypt was the great 12th century Jewish polymath, Maimonides. However, because the Arab world, thanks to Islam, is incapable of creating anything but death and destruction, Obama and NASA feel we must supply them with phony self-esteem by hitching Muslims to our own star chasers.

Future NASA engineer.

However, to be fair, Egyptian protestors did show some originality over the past three weeks. Maybe NASA can name something after one of these rocket scientists!

ADVICE: If NASA is going to make a habit of immortalizing dead Muslim protestors, they better have a whole lot of spaceships ready to go.

(AKI) – The United States space agency NASA has okayed the naming of one of its spaceships after a young Egyptian woman killed in late January during an anti-goverment protest, according to Egyptian daily Al-Masry-al-Youm.

The paper quoted Essam Mohamed Haji, a young researcher at NASA as saying on Thursday he had received approval to put the young woman Sally Zahran’s name on a spaceship heading for Mars.

Zahran, a 23 English graduated and translator died after she was beaten about the head on 28 January with a truncheons during clashes with security forces in in the Upper Egyptian governorate of Sohag. Anti-government protesters claim her killers were thugs in the pay of police.

“This is the least we could provide to Egyptian youth and revolutionaries. This step represents transferring the dreams of Egyptian youth from a small stretch of earth to the enormous expanse of space,” said Haji was cited as telling Al-Masri Al-Youm by phone from California.

Brit Muslim kids learning to cut off hands, Jews transformed into pigs and apes

A diagram from one of the text books

Lovely people.

This indoctrination is being sponsored by “our friends the Saudis”.

One wonders if it is news like this that caused Britain’s PM Cameron to announce that multiculturalism has failed.

But let’s not forget, the true source of all the troubles in the world between Islam and the West, according to Obama himself, is Israel’s inability to create a Palestinian State.

London, Feb.10 (ANI): British Muslim children are being taught how to chop off thieves’ hands and being told that Jews are plotting to take over the world at a network of Islamic schools.

According to The Telegraph, nearly 5,000 pupils are attending weekend schools across Britain, and are being exposed to textbooks claiming that some Jews were transformed into pigs and apes, and that some offences could be punished with stoning.

One book for six year-olds warns that those who do not believe in Islam will be condemned to “hellfire” in death.

Another text for 15 year-olds teaches that thieves who break Sharia law should have their hands cut off for a first offence and their feet amputated for a subsequent crime.

Teenagers are presented with diagrams showing where the cuts should be made.

Tonight’s Panorama on BBC One will claim that the books were discovered at a network of 40 private schools teaching the Saudi Arabian national curriculum.

The program claims to have uncovered evidence apparently linking the schools to the Saudi embassy. Officials at the embassy deny any link.

Newly Translated Muslim Brotherhood Text: Infidels, you are toast!

As if any clear-eyed person needs it, yet more evidence that the Muslim Brotherhood are a nasty bunch who are determined to enslave the world.

Nearly the entire Left lives with their heads either in the sand, or up the butts of their beloved Jihadis.

Unfortunately, however, there is a vocal group on the right, too, who, for reasons they are incapable of backing with a shred of evidence, seek to convince Americans that Islam in general, and the Muslim Brotherhood, in particular, are at most, a minor, pesky annoyance.

And, anyone who disagrees with their fatuous declarations – you, Sir, you Madam, are an Islamophobe.

(JPost)- One of the greatest beneficiaries of the unrest in Egypt has been the Muslim Brotherhood.

Banned but tolerated for decades by successive Egyptian regimes, the Islamist movement is now emerging as a central player in the country’s resurgent opposition.

On Tuesday, two Brotherhood representatives participated in an opposition delegation that met with Vice President Omar Suleiman for the first set of talks over implementing political reforms.

Pundits have portrayed the Brotherhood as uncompromising zealots or beneficent providers of social services that long-deprived Egyptians desperately need.

But a translation released Tuesday of a 1995 book by the movement’s fifth official leader sheds light on just how Egypt’s Brotherhood views itself and its mission.Jihad is the Way is the last of a five-volume work, The Laws of Da’wa by Mustafa Mashhur, who headed the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt from 1996-2002.

The Jerusalem Post on Tuesday saw excerpts of the text, compiled by Palestinian Media Watch found Itamar Marcus and analyst Nan Jacques Zilberdik.

They detail the Brotherhood’s objectives of advancing the global conquest of Islam and reestablishing the Islamic Caliphate, the public and private duties of jihad and the struggle Muslims must wage against Israel.

The full text, translated by PMW, will be posted Wednesday on the organization’s website, Palwatch.org.

“The Islamic ummah,” it says, referring to the supranational community of Muslims, “can regain its power and be liberated and assume its rightful position which was intended by Allah, as the most exalted nation among men, as the leaders of humanity.”

Elsewhere, it exhorts Muslims, “Know your status, and believe firmly that you are the masters of the world, even if your enemies desire your degradation.”

Savage Muslims rampage, slaughter in Indonesia – part 2

Yesterday I posted about recent vicious attacks in Indonesia by Muslims - one set of attacks on Christians and another on a group of Islamic ‘heretics’. A video has emerged of the latter. You can see the “Religion of Peace” that Obama couldn’t praise highly enough while in Indonesia, demonstrate what that loving, tolerant feeling is all about.

Texan schools see future – begin MANDATORY Arabic classes

Look what is becoming the new normal in Texas.

It’s not just about forcing students to learn Arabic, either. The program will look at almost every subject from an Arab perspective.

What is really spooky is how non-chalant most of the idiotic parents seem to take the news of their children’s full immersion into Islam, and their imminent conversion.

And Texas? Texas! One would expect such loser behavior from, say, California, but Texas…?

Students today can barely read and write English, and know next to nothing about their own history.

The Hispanic community might not like this favoritism at all. And where does the grant money come from? Could it possibly be from one of the many Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the country?

We are fast becoming one messed up country.

Mansfield ISD officials apologized to parents Monday night over a plan to teach Arabic culture in every class at one school.

Many parents said they hadn’t been told about the mandatory curriculum change.

Parents and teachers packed a Mansfield ISD school cafeteria to hear more about why Arabic language and culture could soon be embedded in everything their children learn.

Veronika Webb is a sixth-grader at Cross Timbers Intermediate School. Her parents adopted her from Russia when she was three years old. She had to learn English, but her language challenges weren’t over.

“She had to learn Spanish when she was in elementary school, and now they want her to learn Arabic,” said Bobbi Webb, Veronika’s mom.

The Mansfield ISD plans to use grant money to start a program that would look at almost every subject from an Arab perspective, but Monday was the first time they’ve explained it to parents.

“Our goal was to focus on the development of the curriculum before we actually rolled that out to parents,” said Assistant Superintendent Lamar Goree.

Some parents are upset because no one has shown them what information will be taught under the program.

“It’s a porterhouse steak that’s been served up on a trashcan lid,” said parent Mark Henderson. “We love the idea; we just want to be sure we’re involved in its development.”

The idea is to embed Arabic culture in all facets of the school day — from discussing the Arabic roots of the word “algebra” to serving a Middle Eastern dessert at a class party.

“I like the idea because a lot of people … they assume everything Islamic or anything Arabic is terrorist,” said parent Kay Hannun.

A major concern is that Arabic culture cannot be taught without including Islam, something Mansfield ISD denies.

“If it were up to me, it would just be Christian, but my student can benefit from learning different religions,” Bobbi Webb said.

Hannun agrees. “Just teach the culture, how we are, because everybody has this stereotype, and I would like this to be erased.”

The grant funds an Arabic language class that will start when Cross Timbers students start middle and high school.

For now, Mansfield officials say the program is on indefinite hold. They’re starting this program over at square one — this time involving parents every step of the way.

We checked around to see what other districts offer.

Fort Worth ISD provides instruction in nine languages, everything from Chinese to Russian. Arabic is not one of the languages.

The Dallas ISD did not return our calls.

We did learn that a public charter school in Coppell offers Arabic. Manara Academy says there is a demand for Arabic speakers.

London protestors demand sharia law for Egypt

Islamists in Londonistan have been protesting for regime change in Egypt.

They aren’t, however, demanding Western-style democracy. They want ‘democaria‘, one person, one vote, one time.

The below picture of the woman in the burka holding a sign that reads ‘Democracy will bring oppression’ is priceless.

The majority of the Western media and politicians continue to push the fiction that the revolution underway in Egypt and other parts of the Arab world is some sort of blue jeans rebellion composed of good little Liberal Democrats – an army of young John Stewarts and Bill Mahers and Angelina Jolies. No doubt there are a few thousand such people, but they will be swamped by the millions of other Arabs who have far more in common with these protestors in Londonistan.

(Daily Mail)- Protesters waving placards calling for Islamic law to be imposed in Egypt have demonstrated outside the country’s embassy in London.

For several days, a peaceful protest has seen hundreds of ex-patriots and supporters of regime change mass outside the embassy in the centre of the capital.

Today, brandishing signs such as ‘democracy will bring oppression’ and ‘Islam is the solution for Egypt’, women in burkas were joined by men in traditional dress for a rally calling for sharia law to be imposed.

Behind barricades, holding flags aloft,  they faced a line of uniformed police in the quiet streets of central London, far from the chaos of Tahrir – Liberation – Square in Cairo.  (more >>)

Democariah

Democracy in the Muslim world is always spelled ‘Democariah’.

A Pew Poll taken last year says that 59% to 27% of Egyptians have a hankering for shariah, and that 82% support stoning adulterers and 54% say suicide bombings can be justified.

Western style democracy is incompatible with Islam. Eventually, and typically soon rather than later, Islam and sharia win out.

(Washington Examiner) via Weasel Zippers

Last year the Pew Research Center Global Attitudes Project conducted a survey of opinion in several Muslim countries. The subject was the proper role of Islam in politics and society. One of the countries surveyed was Egypt, and among other discoveries, the Pew researchers found that 84 percent of Egyptians favor the death penalty for people who leave the Muslim religion.

In another survey, Pew found that 90 percent of Egyptians say they believe in freedom of religion. Pew also found that a majority of Egyptians think democracy, with protections of free speech and assembly, is “preferable to any other kind of government.”

How can those attitudes fit together in a democratic post-Mubarak Egypt? It’s no wonder so many people can’t figure out what is next.

The Pew survey found wide streams of opinion in Egypt that seem at the very least inhospitable to democracy. When asked which side they would take in a struggle between “groups who want to modernize the country [and] Islamic fundamentalists,” 59 percent of Egyptians picked the fundamentalists, while 27 percent picked the modernizers. In a country in which the army will likely play a deciding role in selecting the next political leadership, just 32 percent believe in civilian control of the military. And a majority, 54 percent, support making segregation of men and women in the workplace the law throughout Egypt.

There’s more. When asked whether suicide bombing can ever be justified, 54 percent said yes (although most believe such occasions are “rare.”) Eighty-two percent supported stoning for those who commit adultery.

Islamic preacher to Aussie PM – sharia is inevitable, “step down and let the Muslims take over”

More of those positive, moderate Muslim vibes from the “religion of peace”. An Australian preacher doesn’t like democracy, being ruled by infidels, or thieves with hands still attached.

He believes that Muslim control of Australia is inevitable, and so Aussies might as well give it up and get with the game.

One day Australia will live under sharia; it’s inevitable,” he said. “If they (Australians) don’t accept it, that’s not our problem. We hope, and our objective is to have a peaceful transition, but when you look at history that has never been the case. There’s always been a fight. It is inevitable that one day there will be a struggle for Islam in Australia.”

Since no one in Australia or the rest of the world is likely to take notice, he’s probably right about the inevitability thing.

The Australian via Jihad Watch

ISLAMIC preacher Ibrahim Siddiq-Conlon points heavenwards to emphasise his message for the governments of Australia — there is no God but Allah and only his laws should be obeyed.

“My attack is on the Prime Minister of Australia,” he said yesterday. “I hate the parliament in Canberra. I want to go straight for the jugular vein and advise the parliament that they have no right to legislate. They should immediately step down and let the Muslims take over.”

An Australian-born convert to Islam, Siddiq-Conlon is the self-anointed leader of a group called Sharia4Australia, which is pushing for the introduction of sharia courts as a first step towards achieving Islamic law.

One day Australia will live under sharia; it’s inevitable,” he said. “If they (Australians) don’t accept it, that’s not our problem. We hope, and our objective is to have a peaceful transition, but when you look at history that has never been the case. There’s always been a fight. It is inevitable that one day there will be a struggle for Islam in Australia.”

A masters graduate in architecture from the University of Technology Sydney, Siddiq-Conlon formed Sharia4Australia last year. He said he had three objectives. The first is to persuade Muslims they must hate “taghoot”, the worship of any God other than Allah, which includes democracy.

“They must hate it, speak out against it. And, if that doesn’t work, take action against it.”

His other objectives are to advise elected governments they have no authority to rule, and to educate non-Muslims on the benefits of sharia, including punishments such as stoning adulterers and severing the hands of thieves.

“If chopping off the hands is the punishment given by the sharia court then we say glad tidings, because chopping off the hands — when you understand what is sharia — is a mercy to that person.

“Why is it a mercy getting your hands chopped off? Because it can be expiation for your sins. It is better to get punished in this life than to go underground into the grave or into the hellfire for eternity.”…

The *top 10* list that Islamic countries are most proud of

Ever since 9/11 we have been told repeatedly that we must “respect” the “religion of peace”. Christian-something President Barack Hussein Obama emphasized this stance when he sang Islam’s praises in the notorious famous speech he gave in Cairo just after his glorious coronation ceremony as Emperor-in-Chief.

Despite Obama’s revisionist history of Islam, one will have a nearly impossible time trying to find any ‘top 10′ list where Islamic countries shine forth. By infidel standards, anyway, Islamic countries appear rather dark, medieval, and ass-backwards, no matter how hard we dig. Be it education, science, innovation, civil rights, economic freedom – you name it – the only place on any such lists that Islamic countries appear to be filling up is the bottom 57 slots.

But, to be fair, that is probably just our cultural bias. The multi-culturalist would say we should look at it from the Islamic standpoint. Well, a new study presents a ‘top 10′ list that Islamists worldwide would no doubt be proud of: The top 10 most dangerous countries in which to practice Christianity.

Islamic Countries Dominate Open Doors 2011 World Watch List

Jan. 5, 2011   — Despite Communist North Korea topping the annual Open Doors World Watch List (WWL) for the ninth consecutive year, the most dangerous countries in which to practice Christianity are overwhelmingly Islamic ones.

Of the top 10 countries on the 2011 WWL, eight have Islamic majoritiesPersecution has increased in seven of them. They are Iran, which clamps down on a growing house church movement; Afghanistan, where thousands of believers cluster deep underground; and Saudi Arabia, which still refuses to allow any Saudi person to convert to Christianity. Others are lawless Somalia, ruled by bloodthirsty terrorists threatening to kill Christian aid workers who feed Somalia’s starving, impoverished people; tiny Maldives, which mistakenly boasts it is 100 percent Islamic; Yemen with its determination to expel all Christian workers; and Iraq, which saw extremists massacre 58 Christians in a Baghdad cathedral on Oct. 31. Of the top 30 countries, only seven have a source other than Islamic extremists as the main persecutors of Christians.

The top 10 in order are North Korea, Iran, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Maldives, Yemen, Iraq, Uzbekistan and Laos, which has a Communist government. Iraq is new to the top 10 list while Mauritania dropped out, going from No. 8 to No. 13.

The country that saw the greatest deterioration of Christian religious freedom in the reporting period from Nov. 1, 2009, through Oct. 31, 2010, was Iraq, jumping from No. 17 to No. 8. The country has seen a Christian exodus in recent years, with an estimated 334,000 Christians remaining in this ancient cradle of Christianity, a drop of more than 50 percent since the 2003 toppling of Saddam Hussein’s regime. The main reason why Christians are fleeing is organized violence by an extremist militia, especially in the northern city of Mosul and in the capital Baghdad, in an attempt to cleanse these areas of its Christian presence. At least 90 Christians were martyred last year in Iraq while hundreds more were injured in bomb and gun attacks. More killings have taken place in the past two weeks.

The country with the largest Christian community on the WWL’s top 15 is Pakistan with more than 5 million believers. Pakistani Christians also faced a sharp erosion of their religious liberty with the country leaping from No. 14 to No. 11 on the current list. Twenty-nine Christians were martyred in the reporting period with at least one killing occurring every month. Four Christians were sentenced to long terms in jail for blasphemy against Islam, at least 58 Christians were kidnapped, more than 100 Christians were assaulted and 14 churches and properties were damaged.

Egypt is ranked No. 19 on the WWL and could be a focus of persecution this year as 21 Christians were killed in a bomb blast on New Year’s Day outside the Church of Two Saints in Alexandria.

Saudi Arabia: brutally gang-raped woman receives jail and 100 lashes

‘Our friends the Saudis’ sentenced a 23-year-old woman who was brutally gang raped and beaten to jail and 100 lashes. In Saudi Arabia, getting raped is adultery. This, of course, is just one face of shariah law.

Feminists and women’s rights groups remain silent, even though the woman wanted an abortion, which is all feminists really care about, anyway. Every day, all over the world women are assaulted by Islamists, be it rape, genital mutilation, ‘honor killings’, or just basic discrimination, but from Liberal feminists we get nothing but chirping crickets. It’s the new normal for feminists.

Saturday, 08 January 2011JEDDAH – A 23-year-old unmarried woman was awarded one-year prison term and 100 lashes for committing adultery and trying to abort the resultant fetus.

The District Court in Jeddah pronounced the verdict on Saturday after the girl confessed that she had a forced sexual intercourse with a man who had offered her a ride. The man, the girl confessed, took her to a rest house, east of Jeddah, where he and four of friends assaulted her all night long.

The girl claimed that she became pregnant soon after and went to King Fahd Hospital for Armed Forces in an attempt to carry out an abortion. She was eight weeks’ pregnant then, the hospital confirmed.

According to the ruling, the woman will be sent to a jail outside Jeddah to spend her time and will be lashed after delivery of her baby who will take the mother’s last name.

Beard for them but not for joo

In the new normal American Army, Muslim beards are more kosher than Jewish beards.

A Brooklyn Rabbi is suing the Army over its “no-beard” policy, citing that the Army is discriminating against him because it has waived the “no-beard” rule for several Sikhs and a Muslim, but not for him.

As an army chaplain, not a soldier, there should be no problem, especially since Muslims and Sikhs get waivers. In the new normal, Muslims are the new gay. Oh wait, DADT was just repealed and gays can now serve openly. Hmm.

(Army Times)- A rabbi from Brooklyn, N.Y., is suing the Army over its “no-beard” policy, claiming the service violated his religious freedoms when it rejected him because he refuses to shave.

Menachem M. Stern’s lawsuit argues the Army is discriminating against him because it has waived the “no-beard” rule for several Sikhs and a Muslim, but not for him. Advocates hope the case, if successful, will pave the way for more bearded rabbis to become chaplains and minister to historically underserved Jewish soldiers.

“While they’re stalling me, they’re taking in other religions, for instance, Sikhs and Muslims with beards and turbans at the same time,” Stern said. “At that point, my question became, ‘Who says yes and who says no?’ It shows how in a great institution such as the Army, the right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing.”

In the suit, filed in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Dec. 8, Stern included his correspondence with the Army from 2009. In it, Stern informed the Army he would not shave. The Army nevertheless granted him a commission as a Reserve first lieutenant, and then it rescinded the offer the next day, citing an “administrative error” and the “no-beard” policy.

Anti-Jewish hate crimes in NYC up 15% in one year

A member of the “religion of peace” protests "Islamophobia".

The new meme in the state-run media is “Islamophobia”. Almost daily now, Americans are told that they are Islamophobes, and that Muslims in America are quivering in their burkas and cowering under their Turkish rugs because Americans are so racist and hate-filled. Katie Couric thinks it is so bad in America for Muslims that the only solution is a TV show about Muslims, “like the Cosby Show”.

This is dhimmi nonsense, of course, and just another example of the new normal. The facts paint a very different picture. According to the latest FBI statistics on religious hate crimes, the Jews are by far the greatest victims.

Religious bias

Of the 1,575 victims of an anti-religious hate crime:

  • 71.9 percent were victims because of an offender’s anti-Jewish bias.
  • 8.4 percent were victims because of an anti-Islamic bias.

Hate crimes against Jews are far greater than that against all other creeds combined, atheists included. The NY Post reports today that Hate Crimes across New York state jumped 14 percent in 2009, led by an increase in attacks on Jews and Jewish institutions (37 percent of all reported hate crimes, up 15 percent in one year). Anti-Muslim sentiment rose 2 points, to 11 percent. In NY, therefore, Jews are more than three times likely to be a victim of a hate crime than a Muslim. The ‘Islamophobia’ meme, of course, is just another tactic of the cowardly, dhimmified media to help with easing the introduction of sharia into America.

Yet more evidence that the “rise in Islamophobia” theme that the mainstream media keeps returning to is just a shell game to divert attention from Islamic jihad violence and supremacism: “NY sees a surge in hate,” by Fredric U. Dicker for the New York Post, December 31 (thanks to Ken):

ALBANY — Hate crimes across New York state jumped 14 percent in 2009, led by an increase in attacks on Jews and Jewish institutions, state records released yesterday show.There were 683 hate crimes reported to police authorities across the state in 2009 compared with 599 in 2008, according to a report released by the state Division of Criminal Justice Services.
