Here in America, we value freedom, and the idea of different religious factions vying for attention is actually applauded and encouraged, even differing points of view, and the exchange is healthy. But the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is not about freedom from tyrant Hosni Mubarak, it’s about using the momentum of unrest to usher in the bedrock foundation of the Muslim Brotherhood from its inception in 1928: the imposition of strict sharia law for every citizen.

The media would have you believe that Hosni Mubarak, the president of Egypt for three decades, is a maniacal tyrant who crushes dissent and rules the country with an iron fist, and they’d be right on that account. But what the aren’t telling you is that is how it’s done in Middle Eastern, predominantly Muslim countries. The idea of “democracy” as we know it, is totally foreign to them. Democracy is “man’s law” and it totally incompatible with (Islamic) sharia law: “the law of Allah.” In any Islamic country, people with power execute their rule at their will, without regard to individual’s concerns, and they crush dissent, and generate a coalition of disparate groups – through coercion, threats, and violence – that will “go along” with them. And the corrupt government (and they’re ALL corrupt) keeps the country from descending into chaos with this twisted kind of rule. This is the norm in the Middle East. The only “free democracy” in the whole Middle East is Israel.

History is busy repeating itself. In 1979 there was unrest in Iran. The people of Iran, urged on by the Mullah’s, revolted against the tyrannical president Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi (the “Shah of Iran”) for being too pro-Western, and for being tyrannical in his treatment of Iranian citizens who disagreed with his policies. Indeed U.S. President Jimmy Carter denounced the Shah for human rights violations, withdrew support, and gave a green light for Islamic radicals to institute a new government. What we have now in Iran is a hard-core Islamic theocracy, dominated by sharia law, religious police (and even worse atrocities than under the Shah, such as this woman killed by Iran’s morality police (caution: graphic)), dictates from the Mullah’s, and defiance to the world by President Ahmadinejad, who speaks to Islamic audiences that Israel is a disgraceful blot that needs to be wiped off the map. He has also publicly proclaimed a right for Iran to be a nuclear nation (for peaceful purposes, of course). More crazy talk from him here, here, here, here, and here. Ahmadinejad, an Islamic “Shiite,” believes fervently in the return of the Mahdi (the Islamic “messiah” who will bring the world fully into submission under Islam), which will only come after a time of great unrest. Ahmadinejad hopes to bring unrest: infidels be damned to their rightful place in hell, and Muslims caught in the crossfire will go to “paradise.” The threat of “mutually assured destruction” (MAD) that kept the cold war in check is not a deterrent to Islamic fundamentalists (and that IS the Muslim Brotherhood). Thanks to the changes the world allowed in 1979, Iran is now the heart of worldwide unrest. And we’re doing it again.

The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt is not about freedom, it’s about ousting a leader – Hosni Mubarak – who they feel is “not Islamic enough.” This is their chance. El Baradei is sympathetic to the cause of the Muslim Brotherhood, if not opportunistic to be used by them to achieve his own power goals. There’s plenty of corruption on both sides. Baradei wants to seize power, and the Muslim Brotherhood will help him with that. The Muslim Brotherhood would like to see Egypt become a sharia state, and Baradei will likely go along with that. This will be a disaster for U.S. interests if this happens. In essence, this shift represents the formation of a second Iran. And we know how well that regime has worked out.

The Muslim Brotherhood’s U.S. branch, the Muslim American Society has a noteworthy goal telling its members that,

…all their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and “sabotaging” their 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 religions.

It should be noted here “God’s religion” is that of Allah (Islam). And Islam means “submit.”

The Muslim Brotherhood anywhere is not a human right’s protector, nor is it interested in “freedom” and “democracy.” The Muslim Brotherhood’s has spawned Al Qaeda (worldwide), Hamas in Palestine (who’s charter calls for the destruction of Israel), and their slogan is, “Allah is our objective. The Prophet [Mohammed] is our leader.  Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”

And if all of this is not enough, Iran recently weighed in with it’ support, saying the Egyptian revolt is the start of an Islamic revolution in the Middle East.

What is happening in Egypt is pivitol. Everywhere Islam takes hold, human rights are flushed. Mubarak is bad. Sharia is worse. The Muslim Brotherhood is the purveyor of this change.

BJ Shay is the host of the morning radio show on KISW 99.9 FM in Seattle. There’s usually a good deal of topical talk on the show on “The Rock.” This morning’s brief topic at 7:30am had to do with Shea’s opinions on Tea Party Nation (website) founder Judson Phillips comments that congressman Keith Ellison should be retired because he’s a Muslim.

Shea is clearly no partaker of any religion, and stated this morning he doesn’t mind if anyone practices their own religion as long as they “keep it to themselves.” Of course, he thought it ridiculous that someone would consider ousting a congressman because he’s a Muslim.

This speaks VOLUMES of Shay’s ignorance.

He also said he thinks Islam is just like Christianity, which turns UP the volume on that ignorance. He should watch the genius Swedish video  “Three Things About Islam” so he can at least sound like he knows a LITTLE about Islam.

USA Today piled on about this subject, bringing the recent firing of NPR’s Juan Williams into it, and suggesting that Islamophobia is on par with homophobia. They’re not: gays don’t usually threaten harm (or death) if you if you say you’re “uncomfortable” with them. Islam does. Gays don’t have a codified religious law that is supposed to govern everything they do. Islam does (sharia). Gay literature doesn’t say, “slay the infidels wherever you find them.” Islam does (Qur’an 9:5).

A phobia is an irrational fear. We have a legitimate fear from an ideology that has NO “live and let live” mentality, and in fact is bent on forcing the world through coercion, subversion (creeping sharia), intimidation (CAIR lawsuits, Ground Zero Mosque), or threats of harm or death to succumb to Islam. Islam MEANS “submit.” Islamic sharia law – in the minds of all Muslims: “god’s law” – is incompatible with freedom and democracy.

The Qur’an says, “Allah is not bound by any contract or treaty with non-Muslims, nor is His Apostle.” (9:3). Think of how that plays out on an international level, with all the apologizing and pandering President Obama does in Muslim nations. Do you think any Muslim is bound in his own mind when he says, “I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support the Constitution of the United States.”

Amir Taheri sums up the Muslim mindset beautifully in this GREAT article in the Iranian Press Service:

“To say that Islam is incompatible with democracy should not be seen as a disparagement of Islam. On the contrary, many Muslims would see it as a compliment because they sincerely believe that their idea of rule by God is superior to that of rule by men, which is democracy”.

There is no “equality” in Islam; and non-Muslims are not just “neutral unbelievers,” they are “inferior.” Christianity – the religion of most Americans – upholds the dignity of EVERY person, which is why you see Americans coming to the rescue of nations subject to national disasters (even in HUGE Muslim population countries like Indonesia). The only way a Muslim can rightly represent free people as a congressman is to discard sharia, that is, to discard the codification of “god’s law” in favor of respecting the laws of this nation. As you can imagine, any practicing Muslim would not do this; It’s tantamount to discarding Islam. So really, the only Muslim fit for upholding the constitution of the United States is a MINO: a “Muslim In Name Only.” In other words: a non-Muslim.

On a Collision Course: Democracy and Islam by Robert Spencer in Human Events

The Terrifying Brilliance of Islam by (atheist) CitizenWarrior

America is beginning to see the introduction of halal certified food products and certified companies thus the need for this exposition.

Halal is arabic and translates to legal or permitted.  Haram translates to forbidden and mushbooh translates to unknown. Food has to be prepared a certain way to meet Sharia Law/ Halal standards.

Halal is not necessarily only a food item but it can also define an individual as well as an individual company.  sFor example,  a tomato is halal, but it may not be processed according to Sharia Law thus making it haram or mushbooh.

In order for a company, which is defined as farms, ranches, fisheries, and food processing plants,  to become Halal Certified,  another process has to take place, which we will discuss that later.

Don’t think that halal only applies to food.  It also applies to all non-food products such as lotions, hair sprays, make-up, etc.

However let’s just focus on food.  Halal foods are foods that have no pork,  blood, or alcohol  within the product.  If the food product is a meat then halal extends to how it is processed. The animal has to be alive at the time the animal is slaughtered.

This answers the question as to why Muslims want certification on fish and poultry products.

Sharia law demands that food processors add other components in order to get the Halal Certification of the product, or the company itself which includes the Halal Certification logo, see below

To get a certification, a company must:

1. Have Halal employees who are involved in the production which “includes the person in charge, those who order the raw materials,  and those in charge of packaging.”  In other words, the company must hire halal compliant employees.  Does this mean the company can only hire koranic observant muslims or will employees of the company have to submit to Sharia compliant rules including conversion to Islam?
2. Slaughter the animal according to Sharia Law.  This means that the animal is either hung up, or placed in a position so that the head is pointing towards Mecca, alive,  and then ONLY a muslim can take a sharp knife,  and slice its jugular vein allowing the beast to be drained of its blood while a muslim of “sound mind” screeches “allah akbar” over the animal.
3. Once the animal has been drained of blood then the animal is processed in a plant free from pork, blood, or alcohol processing.

Not only do companies have to comply with the rules above but they will also have to change recipes they may have had for 100 years or more.  The Campbell’s Soup Company, which was established in 1922, or the Cocoa Cola Company which became incorporated in 1892 will have to strip itself of the way they do business. Companies seeking halal standards will have to have an entire wing just to deal with halal standards i.e. hiring, building of plants, food processing, etc.   This begs the question: Will these companies have to submit to Sharia compliant financing as well including giving zakat?

Currently, if an observant muslim wants to know if a food product is halal they can go to one of two websites,

1. the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America’s website, or
2. the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), logo below.

The customer can scan the 100s of products listed for halal status and or certification. ISNA IS working towards advancing its cause of certifying as many Canadian and American companies as possible.

One argument they use is:

Islam is the fastest growing religion, and the American muslim population is growing,  thus,  don’t you want to get involved with this yearly 170 billion dollar market?  Sure you do! Here’s how to do it!

What they don’t tell you at the time of the company’s multicultural submission is that the companies have to build set part plants and hire only muslims.

The companies named above are going Halal in European markets including Canada.  McDonald’s Company just announced that its British stores are selling halal products.  When this writer wrote to the American McDonald’s Company announcing her boycott of all future McDonald’s sales, the representative stated

McDonald’s USA has no connection to the European menu selections.

A closer examination of her assertion states otherwise as the stock isn’t segregated by national markets and that it is still ALL one global company, so make sure when you write to any of these companies be aware of this future talking point.

In conclusion, what starts in Europe soon becomes advanced on the North American continent and I for one don’t want to spend my money on products that comply with a regressive political ideology that wants to do to me, and what was done to Nick Berg,  in the same manner that they slaughter their meat.

Look for the Halal Label!

In my recent related blog piece Mollycoddling Maniacal Dictators, I talked about the futility of trying to “work with” crazy people who just want us to “submit” (which is what “Islam” means); It’s really their only issue. Yet I see glimmers of hope recently (thank you, Ground Zero Mosque discussions), that Westerners are starting to get it. I’ll bet you are one of them.

With that, I bring you this piece (hat tip to Weasel Zippers):

New Qaeda Mag Features “Proud” U.S. Traitor

A helpful article entitled “The Ultimate Mowing Machine” features advice on how to modify an F-150 truck for maximum crowd carnage, a reminder to carry a gun to finish off those who weren’t killed, and the pleasant admonition that,

“You keep fighting until you achieve martyrdom. You start out your day in this world, and by the end of it, you are with Allah.”

Please note a few things about this new magazine might rattle you just a bit:

• This publication, “Inspire,” is a magazine for terrorists. Actually, I never saw the word “terrorist” when researching this, because Muslims unabashedly prefer to use the REAL word for “terrorist” – a broader more encompassing word that we won’t use in the West – “Jihadi.”
• This magazine is in English. I’m betting its target audience already speaks English, or they’ve got the stupidest marketing director in the world (they don’t. They know exactly who they’re aiming for (pun intended)).
• The cover article of the most recent edition (74 pages of infidel exploding goodness) features a former North Carolina man, Samir Khan, who has been tutored (online?) by Anwar Awlaki, the same guy who trained up the Fort Hood jihadi and the (failed) Underwear Bomber.

Catch THIS quote from Khan,

“I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be one,” writes 24-year-old Samir Khan, a U.S. citizen now believed to be in Yemen. “We pledge to wage jihad for the rest of our lives until either we implant Islam all over the world or meet our Lord as bearers of Islam.”

He is one of millions.

And still our state department can’t seem to call these jihadis “terrorists.” Remember, acts of terrorism are still classified under Janet Nipolatano and our nearly clueless administration as “man caused disasters.” It’s stupid. Because The unifying factor in nearly ALL terrorism around the world is Islam.

In my previous piece, I asked, “When in all of recorded history has a maniacal dictator ever put down his weapons and layed down his armies because someone talked him into acting peacefully?”

This time, I want to ask,

When in all of recorded history has a jihadi (of ANY color) ever put down his weapons because someone talked him into acting peacefully?

Unlike the previous answer (which is “never”), the answer to this question is, “extremely rarely,” but it seems to happen most often when a Muslim becomes a Christian. Former Palestinian terrorist Walid Shoebat is a great example. You should get his book. It’s hard to find ex-Muslims turned Christian though, because Mohammed mandated “If a muslim discards his Islamic religion, kill him.” (Bukhari V4B52N260). Fundamentalist Muslims take this very seriously.

Back to Khan. It is clear that Jihadi recruiters are targeting the west, and most notably US prisons, where they can capitalize on the angst of a prisoner who got nailed by “The Man,” and prison Imams give them a grand opportunity to “stick it to da’ man” while getting the wholehearted blessing of some Arabic deity, and the promise that if they die as a martyr they will be guaranteed 72 virgins in paradise; what sex offender could possibly resist? College campuses are prime too, and Islamists have camps all over the US right now for training new recruits in the ways of peace and love jihad.

Several big name Islamic leaders have declared war on “the West” and “The U.S.” It is foolish of us to pretend that their intent is benign or fading with time. It is not. The Qur’an has hundreds of ongoing mandates to convert or kill unbelievers, which “Muslims in name only” (MINOs) (thankfully) ignore daily. The rest of them – the most devout – are deadly serious about carrying out Allah’s directives. Several estimates put the “radicals” at about 20%; that’s still two hundred forty million dedicated servants of Allah to shout “Allahu Akbar” as they crash the next plane, blow the next bomb, or use a chemical or biological weapon, or – heaven forbid – a nuke. How long will we close our eyes and go, “nya nya nya, I am not listening?” The War has been declared on you, and you’re in it whether you like it or not. We need to deal with these people, because the threat is real and imminent.

They way we deal with people who have a fanatical devotion to see the world submit to Islam or die, is to

a)    Know the truth. The video “Three Things About Islam” is a great place to start. www.CitizenWarrior.com is another.

b)    Then tell other’s about the truth. Blog. FaceBook. Refer interesting videos or blogs to to others. Email. Chat. Or daily conversations. It affects us all.

c)    Say “no” to sharia, concessions, or any other attempts to Islamize America. Understand this: democracy and Islamic sharia law are incompatible. Osama Bin Laden once said that “moderate Islam is a prostration to the West.” In fact, in one of his letters declaring war on the west, he said radical Islam IS Islam.

d)    Educate your leaders about the real threat Islam poses, and encourage them to stand up to Islam’s relentless encroachment. Right now it’s politically correct NOT to call a spade a spade; then the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) comes by and labels you a “hater.” But the real hate is found in the words of the Qur’an, and that needs to be pointed out.

It’s not so much a battle on the ground (terrorist acts / creeping sharia) as it is a battle of ideas. Now you have the right ideas; Get on with saving the world.

Lest you think that all terrorist are lunatics hardened in the deserts of Afghanistan, Shahzad is a softspoken married naturalized US Citizen with a charming smile; And he will be in jail for life for attempting to blow up New York’s Times Square. Read the NY Post account here.

Here’s some more of what this “nice guy” said,

• If I am given a thousand lives, I will sacrifice them all for the sake of Allah fighting this cause, defending our lands, making the word of Allah supreme over any religion or system.
• We Muslims don’t abide by human-made laws, because they are always corrupt … the only true judgment will be on the day of resurrection when Allah will judge between me and you as to who is fighting for the just cause. (Editor’s Note: Most Muslims consider themselves to be perpetually in a state of defensive war, whereby all actions are sanctioned)
• We don’t accept your democracy nor your freedom, because we already have Sharia law and freedom. Furthermore, brace yourselves, because the war with Muslims has just begun. Consider me only a first droplet of the flood that will follow me.
• the defeat of U.S. is imminent and will happen in the near future, inshallah [Allah-willing], which will only give rise to much awaited Muslim caliphate [the return of the Mahdi, the Islamic “messiah”], which is the only true world order.
• And so it’s very clear for us Muslims, either we are with the mujahideen or we are with crusading losing Christians. There is no in between. Blessed the immigrants and the leader Sheikh Usama Bin Laden, who will be known as no less than Saladin of the 21 century crusade and blessed be those who give him asylum.
• My sentence, if you allow me to speak, will be only for the limit that God has given me life in this world. But if you people don’t become believers, the life that you would get in the hereafter, which you don’t believe in, will be forever. So I’m happy with the deal that God has given me.

Did you get that? He is HAPPY with his life sentence, but more importantly, for the opportunity to TERRORIZE UNBELIEVERS INTO TURNING TO ISLAM. Islamic writings support this:

• “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘I have been made victorious with terror.’” – Bukhari:V4B52N220
• “I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and His Apostle.” – Qur’an:8:12
• “If you gain mastery over them in battle, inflict such a defeat as would terrorize them, so that they would learn a lesson and be warned.” – Qur’an:8:57

Shahzad spoke of intentionally lying [the Islamic notion of taqiyya: deceiving unbelievers to advance Islam] about his devotion to the United States, when he gave his oath at his naturalization ceremony last April,

THE COURT: All right. You became a naturalized American citizen some years ago, isn’t that right?
SHAHZAD: Yes. … I think it was April last year

THE COURT: Last year. Didn’t you swear allegiance to this country when you became an American citizen?

SHAHZAD: I did swear, but I did not mean it
THE COURT: I see. You took a false oath?
THE DEFENDANT: Yes.

Which holds perfectly to Islamic holy writings. This is taken from a Jihad Watch article:

Qur’an 3:28 warns Muslims not to take unbelievers as “friends or helpers” … “unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them.” This is a foundation of the idea that believers may legitimately deceive unbelievers when under pressure. The word used for “guard” in the Arabic is tuqātan, the verbal noun from taqiyyatan — hence the increasingly familiar term taqiyya. Ibn Kathir says that the phrase given above as “unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them” means that “believers who in some areas or times fear for their safety from the disbelievers” may “show friendship to the disbelievers outwardly, but never inwardly. For instance, Al-Bukhari recorded that Abu Ad-Darda’ said, ‘We smile in the face of some people although our hearts curse them.’ Al-Bukhari said that Al-Hasan said, ‘The Tuqyah [taqiyya] is allowed until the Day of Resurrection.’”

Islamic writings support this too:

• “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘War is deceit.’ – Bukhari:V4B52N268
• “Whomever Allah wants to deceive you cannot help. Allah does not want them to know the truth because he intends to disgrace them and then torture them.” – Qur’an 5:41
• “By Muhammad’s order we beguiled them.” - Ishaq:442

Feeling beguiled yet? Maybe you still think Islam is a “religion of peace.”

We saw this “hate speech” just a couple weeks ago when a UW student fired off some vitriol at the “Stop the 911 Mosque” website. Know where he gets it? The Qur’an.

This kind of thinking – we must advance Islam at all costs, and the infidels WILL be converted or die – is found HUNDREDS of times in the Qur’an. The ones who perpetrate these acts are not anomalies, and they are not the “fringe” or “extremists”; They are the ones following the Qur’an to the letter.

Are all Muslims terrorists? Of course not. But moderates do not mean ANYTHING in the national argument, because terrorists set the agenda and the Qur’an also states that “moderates” should be killed too. My guess is you won’t hear many “moderate Muslims” speaking out about terrorists hijacking Islam, because

a)    It’s not true, and

b)    They would be killed (or at minimum severely threatened) for doing so.

And here’s a kicker where a New Jersy (Yemeni) Man in Custody for joining Al-Qaeda; Sharif Mobley spoke openly of jihad while working in a nuke plant. Just another day in PC America, and one day closer to the day we let some Muslim calmly blow Americans to bits while peacefully shaking our hands, shouting “Allahu akbar.” Why? There’s only one reason:

The Qur’an tells them to.

You just need to be aware of that.

One final note, Shahzad’s judge had this comment:

You appear to be someone who was capable of education, and I do hope that you will spend some of the time in prison thinking carefully about whether the Koran wants you to kill lots of people.

There is no question: it absolutely does.

On the GLOBAL front:

Iranian Minister: Israel’s Destruction Is Foretold in the Koran…

We just simply MUST allow these people to have nuclear material for peaceful purposes.

United Kingdom: Islamic Hate Preacher Gets Court Victory

Because we mustn’t judge now, right?

Fox guarding henhouse: Pakistan becomes chair of IAEA board (via JihadWatch)

Pakistan – a “radical” Islamic country that just happens to have nuclear weapons – will now be the head of the UN agency that oversees nukes around the world.

Insult on Islam: Government will Not Keep Quiet

From our “Stop Saying Islam is Violent or We’ll Kill You” or “Speak Up And be Killed” file (Malasia):

Muslims Attack Christian Church in Pakistan: Burn Bibles

… this is retaliation for the Florida Qur’an’s that DIDN’T get burned, but of course, no one around the world has to fear the retaliation of Christians, because Christianity really IS a religion of peace…

And …. On the LOCAL front (sort of):

Radical Islam gets the better of free speech (right here in the US)

A Minneapolis / St. Paul writer wonders why no one in the press is coming to the defense of a Seattle cartoonist when she has to go into hiding because her life is threatened by members of the “the religion of peace.”

What can you do? Stand up against ANY form of Sharia law in our land. Insist that your representatives take a REAL stand on national security (including restrictions of Muslim immigration), and tell everyone you know the truth: www.HaltTerrorism.com is a great place to start.

On the Stop The 911 Mosque website has a curious posting, filled with the kind of vitriol that Islam’s prophet Mohammed – “al insal al kamil” (the “perfect man”)  - exhibited in his day. Mohammed personally participated in hundreds of murders (as told in the Qur’an’s companion book, the Hadiths). It’s the duty of every Muslim to pattern their life after Mohammed, who again was “the perfect man.” So here is what this poster said,

My name is Malik Bawwab and I am an Arab Muslim! And we will build our Victory Mosque wherever we want to build it! And there is nothing any of you damn infidels can do about it! We will even build it on top of your grave! You can cry all you want and complain like little babies, but WE OWN YOU!!! And all my Arab brothers and sisters spit on your grave!!!

Sounds like Qur’an 9:123, “Fight the unbelievers around you, and let them find harshness in you.” Harsh, indeed! These words were not from a protestor in New York; This exemplary follower of Mohammed is a student at the University of Washington, was a Mountlake Terrace High School graduate, and is on the Husky Crew Team. (details here). More info on this UW student, and his participation at a UW speaking event here.

I say “exemplary,” because Bawwab is probably following pretty closely to Mohammed. Check out these quotes:

• “Fight them until all opposition ends and all submit to Allah.” Qur’an 8:39
• “So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).” Qur’an 8:39
• “The Messenger and those who believe with him, strive hard and fight with their wealth and lives in Allah’s Cause.” Qur’an 9:88
• “Arabs are the most noble people in lineage, the most prominent, and the best in deeds. We were the first to respond to the call of the Prophet. We are Allah’s helpers and the viziers of His Messenger. We fight people until they believe in Allah. He who believes in Allah and His Messenger has protected his life and possessions from us. As for one who disbelieves, we will fight him forever in the Cause of Allah. Killing him is a small matter to us.” – (Hadiths: Tabari IX:69)
• “O Prophet, urge the faithful to fight. If there are twenty among you with determination they will vanquish two hundred; if there are a hundred then they will slaughter a thousand unbelievers, for the infidels are a people devoid of understanding.” Qur’an 8:65

Well, I hope by now you are not “devoid of understanding.” There are hundreds more like this. Be aware that the desire to bury the United States, and replace our constitutional republic with sharia law is the desire of Islam. It is an all out war that has been declared on us, and you are a participant whether you like it or not. This war happens on many fronts, and not just terrorists:

• Those who badger us for concessions to Muslim rites (like a prayer room in NJ public schools)
• Those Muslims who have 10 children who will further the jihad (struggle against unbelief), to overwhelm us with a Muslim population explosion (this is already happening all over Europe)
• Those who donate to Muslim front charities that funnel money to terrorist organizations. (Muslims are encouraged to give zakat (tithes) to these organizations.
• Those who push for sharia-compliant banking (already in effect with some banks in the US).
• Those who practice Allah-sanctioned taqiyya (deception) by talking “peace” in English among westerners, and then talk about jihad against all things western in Arabic at the mosque.
• And of course, those Muslims who threaten with death anyone who is critical of Islam (this happens many times daily, and you can check out www.TheReligionOfPeace.com for details on whether they mean it or not).

If you are new to all this talk of “sharia” or “jihad” and you think it’s far from you, you should know: It’s not. There are peaceful Muslims (who don’t read the Qur’an or follow its mandates), but there is NO peaceful Islam. Check this video out (8 minutes that will change your life):

What can you do? Check out www.CitizenWarrior.com for more things you can do to protect our freedoms, and not give in to Islam’s relentless encroachment to make all the world submit … which – by the way – is what the word “Islam” means.

Neda Bolourchi, a Muslim who lost her mom in the 9-11 attacks, pleads the case for NOT building a mega-mosque 2 blocks from New York’s “Ground Zero” in the Washington Post. Read the article here. It’s great. It’s filled with compassion and genuine ecumenical reaching out – everything that Islam isn’t. And she also accidentally hits on some very important points for Westerners to know. Here’s some excerpts:

The Sept. 11 attacks were the product of a hateful ideology that the perpetrators were willing to die for. They believed that all non-Muslims are infidels and that the duty of Muslims is to renounce them. I am not a theologian, but I know that the men who killed my mother carried this message in their hearts and minds. Obedient and dutiful soldiers, they marched toward their promised rewards in heaven with utter disregard for the value of the human beings they killed.

That’s exactly it. But the hateful ideology is plain for anyone to see if they would just read the Qur’an. The Qur’an says that non-Muslims are infidels, and the Qur’an says it’s the duty of Muslims to advance Islam by conversion, subjugation, or death of those who will not accept Islam. Islam means “submit.” And there is no “tolerance” of non Muslims. For dedicated Muslims, there are only two camps in the world: dar al-Islam (the house of Islam, those who are Muslims) and dar al-harb (the house of war). You don’t need to be a theologian to understand the central tenets of the Qur’an. The one’s who follow it the closest are going to drink in it’s core values, and carry them out.

“You see many of them allying themselves with the Unbelievers [other translations read: "Infidels"]. Vile indeed are their souls. Allah’s wrath is on them, and in torment will they abide.” – Qur’an 5:80

Bolourchi goes on:

Yet, just over two decades later, the militant version of our faith caught up with us on a September morning.

The “militant version” is but one wing of the Islamic Ummah (community worldwide). Those who give birth to 10+ babies to further Islam are another. Those who push for Sharia (Islamic Law) concessions in the West in the name of tolllllerance are another. This includes those who want separate Islamic courts (like they have now in Britain) in the U.S., and those who want special concessions (like factory accomodations, or for special concessions for Muslims). And many practice “taqiyya,” the deception that is actually mandate by Islam’s holy writings.

“Allah’s Apostle [Mohammed] said, ‘War is deceit.’” Bukhari:V4B52N268

Yes, it’s okay to lie or to conceal the truth if it furthers Islam. The idea that “Islam is a Religion of Peace” lie falls under this one. Islamic writings DO say that it is a “religion of peace,” but (the unspoken part) is that it’s only AFTER the whole world is subjugated under Islam using every means possible. All of these “wings” contribute to the Qur’an mandated goal of converting or completely subjugating the whole world under Islam.

“So fight them until there is no more Fitnah (disbelief [non-Muslims]) and all submit to the religion of Allah alone (in the whole world).” – Qur’an 8:39

More from Bolourchi:

When you are born into a Muslim family, there is no way around it, no choices available: You are Muslim. I am not ashamed of my faith, but I am ashamed of what is done in its name.

Well it’s true that when you’re born into Islam, there is no way around it; Islamic writings command that those who turn away from Islam be killed, and that’s a very compelling motivation to stick with a cult of death, even if it occasionally leaves a bad taste in your mouth.

“The Prophet [Mohammed] said, ‘If a Muslim discards his religion, kill him.’” - Hadiths: Bukhari:V4B52N260

I don’t expect Ms. Bolourchi to openly leave Islam. But perhaps she’s already done it in her heart. If she’s truly ashamed of what is done in the name of Islam, then it’s time to chuck the Qur’an, Ms Bolourchi, because it wholly supports the actions of the 9-11 hijackers who murdered your mom.

Dear ___________

Regarding the Jihad Watch article, “Islamic Armed Fortress Emerges from Pocono Mountains; Feds Turn Blind Eye”:

This article is alarming; That Islamic radicals are bred, trained, and released right here on US soil from a compound that the Federal Government WATCHES while they do it. A handful of mostly quiet religious wackos in Waco got more attention than this. (And that was Clinton / Reno). Yet this Islamic compound in Pennsylvania represents a REAL ONGOING threat to US citizens. They’re not training to protect themselves, they’re training to do damage to all things western because their holy writings mandate it:

• Allah’s apostle [Mohammed] said, “I have been made victorious with terror” – Bukhari V4B52N220
• I shall terrorize the infidels. So wound their bodies and incapacitate them because they oppose Allah and his apostle. – Qur’an 8:12
• Strike terror into [Allah’s] enemies, and your enemies. – Qur’an 8:60
• Allah wished to confirm the truth by his words, “Wipe the infidels out to the last”  - Qur’an 8:7
• The infidels should not think they can get away from us. Prepare against them whatever arms and weaponry you can muster so that you may terrorize them. They are your enemy and Allah’s enemy. – Qur’an 8:59
• So fight them until all opposition ends and the only religion is Islam. – Qur’an 8:39

There is NO “live and let live” in Islam. There ARE peaceful Muslims (MINO’s: Muslims In Name Only), but there is NO peaceful Islam.

And one side note: its REDICULOUS that President Obama would remove “Islamic terrorism” from national  security strategy document. After all, we mustn’t offend those who would like to kill us, right?

Could you please put more pressure in the right areas to dismantle this “terrorist factory?”

You could be a hero for having a part in this.

Thank you for representing me and my family in Washington DC.

Rep. Sue Myrick op-ed:

Last week, I held a press conference on Capitol Hill attended by three of my colleagues in the House of Representatives to call for a federal investigation (s) into a non-profit group called the Council on American Islamic Relations (C.A.I.R.)

Here are the facts:

1. CAIR has documented ties to the terrorist organization HAMAS. This is stated fact by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

In an April 28, 2009 letter to US Senator Jon Kyl, the FBI wrote the following:
“As you know, CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development in the United States v. Holy Land Foundation et al. (Cr. No. 3:04-240-P (N.D.TX.). During that trial, evidence was introduced that demonstrated a relationship among CAIR, individual CAIR founders (including its current President Emeritus and its Executive Director) and the Palestinian Committee. Evidence was also introduced that demonstrated a relationship between the Palestinian Committee and HAMAS, which was designated a terrorist organization in 1995. In light of that evidence, the FBI suspended all formal contacts between CAIR and the FBI.”

In case you are not familiar with the Holy Land trial referenced above, it was a Dallas, Texas trial that ended with guilty verdicts on 108 counts of funneling money ($12 million) to HAMAS.

2. The purpose of our press conference was to make public an internal CAIR memo that documented CAIR’s stated goal of placing CAIR interns in the offices of members of Congress, especially the members who serve on the Homeland Security, Judiciary and Intelligence Committees. Let me be clear here, CAIR, a group whom the FBI says is affiliated with the terrorist group HAMAS, is trying to place their interns in the offices of those members who serve on the three committees that handle national security related issues. National Security is the first responsibility of the federal government.

3. Following our press conference, CAIR, immediately labeled we four members as bigots and started their public relations campaign to discredit us by claiming that we were against Muslims working on Capitol Hill. We never said that. At no time during our press conference did we even insinuate that we were investigating Muslims being interns on Capitol Hill. Go to http://www.youtube.com/suemyricknc09 and watch the press conference yourself.

Our focus was and is on CAIR and CAIR alone, not Muslims.

Likewise CAIR tried to make this a Republican vs. Democrat thing, because the four members at the press conference happened to be Republican.

How then does CAIR explain Democrat Senator Charles Schumer’s call earlier this year for a government-wide ban on CAIR in the federal government due to their ties to HAMAS? Democrat Senator Barbara Boxer has likewise made public her opinions of CAIR and any Google search will find her remarks.

4. CAIR is spending time, money and energy to position themselves as the spokespeople for the moderate Muslim community. Problem is CAIR is not a moderate Muslim organization. It is a radical front group for HAMAS. So who is CAIR competing with for this designation? The real moderate Muslim groups/individuals in America. Groups and individuals like the following who are committed to countering Islamist extremism:

Dr. Hedieh Mirahmadi – President World Organization for Resource Development and Education (WORDE)
Zeyno Baran – Director for the Center for Eurasian Policy at the Hudson Institute
Farid Ghadry – President of the Reform Party of Syria
Manda Zand Ervin – Founder and director of the Alliance of Iranian Women
Omran Salman – Arab Reformists Project, ‘Aafaq (Arabic for “horizons”).
Dr. Zuhdi Jasser – American Islamic Forum for Democracy
Karim Bromund – Director of Inter-Religious Affairs for the Islamic Supreme Council of America

I SUPPORT the Muslim individuals and groups mentioned above. These groups renounce terrorists and their radical ideology. They are trying their hardest to be heard and recognized in America, but are being overshadowed and out-funded by CAIR. Today, when something happens that impacts the Muslim community, the media calls CAIR (an unindicted co-conspirator to terrorism and a HAMAS front group) for comment on behalf of American Muslims. What an insult the media is performing on the Muslim community. Instead they should be calling Muslim groups/individuals like those named above. This is part of the reason we are focusing our attention on CAIR and exposing them for who they are. For one they pose a threat to our national security, and two, they deny the ability of legitimate Muslim groups to gain credibility.

5. In July of this year I held a summit on Capitol Hill where I introduced the leaders of eight moderate Muslim organizations to the heads of several US Agencies, Members of Congress and congressional staff. For example, they met with representatives from the State Department, USAID, Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. How can I be against Muslims working on Capitol Hill and hold such an event? Go to http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/id.3881/pub_detail.asp and read for yourself about this summit.

See through the lies and realize what is really going on here.

We are trying to expose a HAMAS Front Group (CAIR) for who they are, and they are crying we are anti-Muslim hoping that media outlets will ignore the terrorist claim and instead pick it up as a race/religion story. When those claims don’t work, they claim it’s a Republican political thing.

Americans, on this subject we need to stop the Republican vs. Democrat, Conservative vs. Liberal, Christian vs. Muslim division and unite on one simple point…. CAIR is a front group for HAMAS. It was named as an un-indicted co-conspirator in a terrorism case that lead to 108 convictions of funneling $12 million to HAMAS. Because of the evidence produced in that case, the FBI severed all ties with them. This same CAIR, by their own admission, is trying to place people inside the offices of members of Congress who deal with national security issues (judiciary, homeland security and intelligence committees). I serve on one of those committees, Intelligence, am the co-chairwoman of the House Anti-Terrorism Caucus, and have spent the better part of the last four years working every day on terrorism related issues.

If we Americans fail to set aside our political, religious and ideological differences and unite when we encounter the enemy in such stark and plain terms, then God help us.
