Rep. Tom Cole's secret townhall meeting!

U.S. Rep. Tom Cole (R OK) has eleven townhall meetings planned over the next couple of weeks.  His townhall schedule lists all the locations, except for one, a meeting at Melody Hall on April 11th in Moore, OK.  For those of you who don't know, Melody Hall is owned Home Creations and brothers Mohammad and Jalal Farzaneh.  Do you remember, by chance, this was the original location of CAIR's anti-airport profiling meeting back in January and was the site of the first planned protest by Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate?  CAIR, then changed location the day before in order to ditch the protesters (yep, that's on their webpage).

Urge Oklahoma Senate Judiciary Committee to pass HJR 1056!

The Oklahoma Senate Judiciary is scheduled to possibly vote on HJR 1056 tomorrow!  This is the resolution that has already passed the Oklahoma House that could allow Oklahomans the right to vote on an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would ban Sharia and international law from consideration in Oklahoma courts in the future.  But, first it has to be passed out of this committee and be voted on by the entire Senate.

More information on the bill can be found here (find basic search link on the left and enter HJR 1056 in the search box)

I urge you to call the judiciary committee members listed below and politely urge them to pass HJR 1056 tomorrow so it can be brought to full Senate for a vote.

ACLU Deputy Director Chuck Thornton; criticize CAIR is hatred of all Muslims!

Chuck Thornton, the ACLU Director in Oklahoma, is a prime example how the left-wing partners with CAIR,  an Islamist organization born from the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America. 

CAIR has a long and troubling history that cannot be hidden no matter how hard they try to show themselves in a good light through their community service efforts.  This month Muslims met with law enforcement over concerns of being targeted.  They specifically metioned Muthanna Al-Hanooti, a one-time CAIR director indicted amid accusations of being a spy for Saddam Hussein's regime during the time he worked for CAIR and at other times.  He also had worked his way up the left-wing political ladder,  which is not the first time this has happened.  In February, a recent but former CAIR national board member, Nabil Sadoun, who was also the chair of the board of CAIR Texas, at one time, and a one-time Imam in Tulsa in the 90s was formally deported after he fled the country for his ties to Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.  These men belong to a list of other CAIR officials and associates which show a disturbing pattern of anti-American pro-Islamist and/or pro terrorist actions such as Ghassan Elashi, Randall Royer, Bassam Khafagi, Mohammad El-Mezain, Rihad Abdelkarim, Rabih Haddad, Sayyid Syeed, Siraj Wahhaj, and Ishan Bagby.

Thornton's ignorance of the volumous documentation of facts about CAIR, or his willful disregard of them, is very disturbing.  In a letter-to-the editor in the Edmond Sun Saturday titled, Calvey’s free speech shouldn’t infringe upon other’s rights Thornton took issue with 5th District Congressional Candidate, Kevin Calvey, who has spoken up about the troubling facts plaguing CAIR. 

"Certainly I do stand by my comment that Calvey is “promoting hysteria and hatred toward the Islamic community,” Thornton said.  My God, folks, Thornton claimed Kevin Calvey promotes hatred towards all Muslims when Calvey has only spoken about his concern with CAIR!  The accusations Thornton made in his letter appear defamatory and possibly libelous.

Thornton went on to brag about the fine work of CAIR's Oklahoma director, Razi Hashmi - you know the man who has refused six time recently to answer any direct questions about any of the facts that haunt CAIR!  Thornton distain for Calvey was also evident in January when he tweeted an immature slap at him when CAIR changed the venue of their anti-airport profiling townhall the day before in order to ditch Calvey and others who planned to protest CAIR's meeting and he took great delight they were duped. 

Thornton stands with Hashmi, a man who stood up for the "Hamas Rulers" last year and organized a rally where many protesters carried anti-Israel signs of the vilest nature.  Doesn't Thornton just make you so proud?  He is on the side of an organization who stands with terrorists or terror supporters and often works against the FBI and our national security efforts.  Early last year, CAIR called upon Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to pressure the UAE for the release of Los Angeles Muslim Naji Hamdan who was held there on terror suspicion.  Last fall, Hamden was convicted.  In the case of Ahmadullah Niazi who was indicted on immigration charges whose brother-in-law served as Osama bin Laden's security coordinator there were similar articles by three reporters where Islamic leaders painted the FBI as the bad guys, including CAIR.  Sami Al Arian who plead guilty for supporting the Palestine Islamic Jihad, a specially designated terrorist,  is someone CAIR considers a political prisoner of the U.S. 

Perhaps Thornton should spend some time to learn the facts about CAIR or, at least, be honest about them and less time trying to divert attention away or claim CAIR critics are an attack on all Muslims.

Kevin Calvey endorsed by Oklahoma Conservative PAC

Oklahoma 5th District Congressional candidate, Kevin Calvey, was endorsed by the Oklahoma Conservative Political Action Committee yesterday.  Previously, he was endorsed by the Club for Growth and several other groups.

He needs Oklahomans to support his campaign.

Quebec may ban Muslims who cover face from assistance

Amid growing concerns about assimilation, The Canadian province of Quebec may set limits to the use of Muslim veils in order to get aid:

Legislation unveiled by the provincial Liberal government on Wednesday would refuse education, day care and nonemergency healthcare to women wearing full face veils. The law would also apply to those working in the public sector.

Premier Jean Charest said the predominantly French-speaking province of 7.5 million people had to strike a balance between respecting the rights of individuals while ensuring Quebec remained open and welcoming.

"We are clearly indicating limits that cannot be breached: respecting equality between men and women (and) the religious neutrality of the state ... and interacting with the state with an uncovered face," he said.

The legislation would affect women wearing the niqab -- a face veil with an eye opening -- as well as the burqa, a full veil with a slit for the eyes. The bill said people dealing with the provincial government needed to have uncovered faces for reasons of security and identification.

If, you recall Razi Hashmi, the local director of CAIR in Oklahoma said Muslims shouldn't necessarily assilimate (at the 1.49 min. mark) in an interview with one of their local liberal partners,  Dr. Bruce Prescott.

Did I mention there's not one verse in the Quran that states a woman should cover her hair, much less her face?

Action: Save Our State bill deadline Monday

HJR 1056, otherwise known as the Save Our State bill, would give Oklahomans the opportunity to vote on a constitutional amendment that would prevent our courts from considering international law or Sharia law at some point in the future.  This isn't so far-fetched since some states have done this already, like in Texas here.  This bill is now being considered in the Senate Judiciary Committee.  

Brief Summary:

 

HJR 1056 is a proposed amendment to Section 1 of Article VII of the Oklahoma Constitution requiring the courts to uphold and adhere to the United States Constitution the Oklahoma Constitution, Federal code and regulations, Oklahoma Statutes and rules, and if necessary for the determination of a case, the laws and cases of another state in making judicial decisions.  The amendment forbids the courts to consider Sharia Law, international law, or the decisions of courts in other nations. 

More information on the bill can be found here (find basic search link on the left and enter HJR 1056 in the search box)

 

This bill has to be put on the judiciary committee's calendar by its chair or it will die in committee.  This morning, I was told he will put out his calendar this afternoon around 3 or 4!  I did not get any indication it would be on the calendar.

 

I urge Oklahomans to call these committee members, especially the chair, to urge this bill be placed on the calendar schedule for a committee vote.  Then, if it passes, it can be voted on in the full Senate in hopes Oklahomans have the opportunity to vote on this important amendment to the Oklahoma constitution.

 

The Judiciary Committee is listed below (links to their Senate page includes contact information):

Senator Patrick Anderson - Chair  (R)
Senator Susan Paddack - Vice Chair  Democrat
Senator Kenneth Corn  (D) listed on CAIR's email as attending their banquet
Senator Brian Crain  (R)

Senator Dan Newberry  (R)
Senator Anthony Sykes   (R)

 

Update 4:25 PM CT:  I called Senator Anderson's office to see if his calendar was out yet and was told it won't be out until Monday, now.   

So, keep making those calls!

Video cast doubt on spitting allegations by Rep. Cleaver

Davi Barker, a Muslim Agorist

Have you heard of an agorist before?  Well, I sure haven't, until now. According to Wikipedia, ideologically it's a term for a revolutionary type of anarcho-capitalism (individualistic anarchist) or free-market anarchism, whatever that means.  There's a Muslim writer in the Examiner by the name of Davi Barker who is the Muslim writer for San Francisco.  He tweets under the name MuslimAgorist.  

Recently, and quite disturbingly, CAIR asked him to talk to some high school students about libertarianism, which can mean the abolishment of a government at the far end of its definition.  A sub-category is an anarcho-capitalist who advocates this abolishment.

CSPAN interview with Steve Emerson

On March 12, 2010, CSPAN interviewed Steve Emerson about the growth of Islamic radicalism within America.  He also mentioned that a long time ago there was an assassination plot against him, which I had never heard before.  For a long time CAIR had an anti-Emerson page on their website trying to discredit him but that has been removed.

Emerson said there will be a new documentary about  "stealth jihad" in the U.S. coming out in a couple months:

The ignorance of Sheriff Lee Baca

"When you attack CAIR, you attack virtually every Muslim in America."  L.A. Country Sheriff Lee Baca (LA Times 3/24/10)

Here's a great example when liberals partner with CAIR.  In a new video posted on CAIR's website, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca lashes out, once again, on questions he was asked last week by Republican Congressman Mark Souder of Indiana about his relationship with CAIR in a Homeland Security subcommittee hearing.  He called it un-American, borrowing an often used come-back CAIR hurls at their critics.  Last night, Baca spoke again of his anger and, folks,  he is really upset.  He said Souder should learn about Islam and become more of a diplomat.  At the subcommittee hearing,  he claimed CAIR does not support terrorism.

Why then, Sheriff Baca, does CAIR support convicted terror-supporter, Sami A-Arian, who said in a 1991 video: 

Al-Arian: "The Koran is our constitution… Jihad is our path … Victory to Islam… Death to Israel… Revolution… revolution till the victory."

These words are very similar to the motto of the Muslim Brotherhood, from which CAIR was founded.  In 2008, CAIR sent out Action Alert #537: Support Dr. Sami Al-Arian's Struggle for Justice and in an opinion piece claimed al-Arian was a political prisoner of the United States!  Review al-Arian's plea agreement admitting his support of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, a specially designated terrorist organization.  Early last year, CAIR called upon Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to pressure the UAE for the release of Los Angeles Muslim Naji Hamdan who was held there on terror suspicion.   Last fall, Hamden was convicted. In the case of Ahmadullah Niazi, indicted on immigration charges,whose brother-in-law served as Osama bin Laden's security coordinator, there were similar articles by three reporters where Islamic leaders painted the FBI as the bad guys, including CAIR. And, then there is recent, but former, CAIR board member, Nabil Sadoun,  who was determined to have ties to Hamas and formally deported after he fled the country.  Hmmm.  

Why is CAIR asking now for the U.S. to get involved with the five suspected American terrorists arrested in Pakistan?   

CAIR's founding by members of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood has been firmly established in court documents. Their branch in Palestine started Hamas in 1987 with the express goal to destroy Israel for Islam.  The extent and possible continuing relationship between CAIR and Hamas has not been fully explained to the FBI.  In What's the Truth About CAIR, the FBI stated on March 6th:

“CAIR has been advised of the reasons behind our suspension of formal partnership,” the FBI stated. “These reasons include the fact that CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in United States v. Holy Land Foundation and CAIR’s failure to answer our questions about a connection between their executives and Hamas. Until these questions are answered, the FBI does not consider CAIR an appropriate partner for formal liaison activities.”

Shortly after 9/11, CAIR posted a statement from Shiekh Yusef Qaradawi which is still on their website today (he said Muslims are the real victims).  He's the religious leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who has issued fatwas approving of martyrdom against Israel and is banned from entering the U.S.  Also read What is New about Al-Qaradawi's Fiqh of Jihad? 

In a 2004 letter-to-the-editor to the Washington Post, Muslim American Society President, Esam Omeish, discussed the influence of the Muslim Brotherhood on the activism undertaken by Muslims in the U.S. (the MAS was also founded by the Muslim Brotherhood, as was the Muslim Student Association).

Last April, Hussam Ayloush the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations for Greater Los Angeles demanded the FBI stay out of their mosques.

This begs the question.  Who is un-American, here?

Video:

 Update 12:00 PM CT: LA TImes:

"...When Baca spoke at the Tuesday event, he was given a standing ovation by the 75 or so people at the Omar ibn Al-Khattab Foundation, (z: a mosque funded by King Fahd, Saudi Arabia)  near USC.

Baca called Souder's comments "scary" and said they were an affront to all Muslim Americans. "When you attack CAIR," he said, "you attack virtually every Muslim in America."

"I'm saying -- because I've read the Koran and been involved with Muslim Americans for years -- this is not correct. God has nothing to do with mentally ill people committing terrorist acts. If a mentally ill person is using Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, Scientology to say 'This is part of why I'm doing this,' I say, 'Well, guess what, don't act like you're God, you don't have God's authority.' "

Who knew terrorists were just mentally ill.  Did you?

Ann Coulter may file a human rights complaint in Canada!

Last Friday, Ann Coulter received an email from Francois Houle, Vice-President Academic and Provost, at the University of Ottawa advising her of the limits on the freedom of expression in Canada and wrote “Promoting hatred against any identifiable group would not only be considered inappropriate, but could in fact lead to criminal charges,”  before her speech at the university scheduled for Tuesday evening.

While I find her manner of speaking irritating it's noteworthy to call attention to the warning she received.  As a result, Coulter threatened to file a human rights complaint:

Speaking to students and academics at the University of Western Ontario Monday, Coulter said the e-mail sent to her Friday by Francois Houle, vice-president academic and provost of the University of Ottawa, targeted her as a member of an identifiable group and as such, she will be filing a complaint with the Human Rights Commission alleging hate speech.

“I’m sure the Human Rights Commission will get to the bottom of it,” Coulter said to loud cheers from the 800-strong audience. “I think I’m the victim of a hate crime here. Either what (Mr. Houle) did was a hate crime, or the whole commission is BS.”

...Coulter’s targeting of the University of Ottawa administration and Canada’s Human Rights Commissions came at the end of a half-hour speech that attacked political correctness in the United States and the mainstream media, which she said was uncritical of the Obama administration and unfairly biased against conservatives...

Update 3/24/10: Coulter speech canceled amid fears of violence at the University of Ottawa when around 2000 students did the very thing the university warn Ann about -  making hate speech. 

Way to go Canada.

Trinity Baptist conference

"We Don't CAIR"

6:30 PM at Trinity Baptist Church in Yukon, Oklahoma. The church’s address is 600 N. Cemetery Road. Admission to the event is free

This event will discuss the threat Americans face against Islamism - political Islam and its drive for political power, which is embedded within the Quran and its hadiths.  This Islamic supremacist ruling ideology led to centuries of caliphate rule from Islam's inception until the last caliphate was defeated in 1924.  

There are a number of Muslims in America who also are activists against Islamism, such as American Islamic Forum for Democracy.  It's important to clarify this event is to raise awareness about Islamism, CAIR and other Islamist organizations in America identified by the federal government as part of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure here.  It is not a program against secular Muslims or their practice of spiritual Islam who are just as concerned about this religious supremacist ideology.  Muslims are, by far, the main victims of Islamists.

Press Release:

On Tuesday, March 23'rd , Reclaiming Oklahoma for Christ will be hosting a conference at Trinity Baptist Churchin Yukon to educate the Oklahoma public about the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). CAIR of Oklahoma will be holding its annual banquet three days earlier. “We Don’t CAIR” will bring attention to CAIR’s ties to radical Islam, including its listing by the federal government as an ‘unindicted co-conspirator’ in a trial related to fundraising for the terrorist organization, Hamas.

The theme for CAIR’s banquet is “A New Era of Hope”, but Pastor Paul Blair remarks that if CAIR’s future is anything like its past, then the title is misleading. Blair states,  “The FBI recorded the 1993 meeting in Philadelphia from which the idea for CAIR was born.  The organizers had direct ties to the radical terrorist group, Muslim Brotherhood. Their stated goal was to create a political and public relations organization in America whose ‘Islamic hue (was) not very conspicuous’”. Pastor Blair added, “United States Attorneys have been very candid in saying that CAIR has conspired to support terrorists.”

Pelosi: We will be joining those who created Medicare and Social Security

Those were some of the triumphant words spoken last night by Speaker Nancy Pelosi after the heathcare bill in the house passed.  A monumental accomplishment that would join with those who created Medicare (Lyndon Johnson, D) and Social Security (Franklin Roosevelt, D).   I wanted to throw up. 

Those social programs were touted as being healthy for our country's fiscal future when they were made law.  Now, Medicare and Social Security have unfunded liabilities that are nearly $107 trillion in today's dollars. Some success.   For Pelosi to claim the healthcare bill joins the rank of these programs is disturbing!   This bill may well be the ruin of our country and unprecedented intrusion in our personal lives.  Is it true that the CBO estimated 17,000 new workers will be needed to monitor our compliance or is that just a rumor?

Oklahomans could vote to ban Sharia Law!

Steps are being taken by Oklahoma legislators to help strengthen the Oklahoma constitution that could allow Oklahomans the opportunity to vote this year on a constitutional amendment NOT to allow sharia law or international law from being considered in our state courts, if all goes as planned. It is also known as the Save Our State Amendment:

House Joint Resolution 1056, by state Rep. Rex Duncan, would allow Oklahomans to vote to amend the Oklahoma Constitution to require the courts to "uphold and adhere to the law" as provided in the United States Constitution, the Oklahoma Constitution, the United States Code and federal regulations, Oklahoma Statutes and rules, and established common law.

The proposed amendment would prohibit all Oklahoma courts from considering the legal precepts of other nations or cultures, even in cases of first impression.

The proposed amendment declares that courts "shall not consider international law or Sharia Law."

House Joint Resolution 1056 passed the Oklahoma House of Representatives on a 91-2 vote. It now proceeds to the Senate.

If the measure is approved in the Senate, it could then go to the voters this year.

This move is in response to other states actually using international law in some cases. 

The two no votes were Democratic Representatives Ryan Kiesel and Mike Shelton   

This is a smart move.  Thank you.

Oklahoma elected officials attending CAIR Oklahoma dinner!

In an email sent out by CAIR Oklahoma this week titled "Guess Who Is Coming To Dinner?" it gives the impression that federal tax dollars might have been used to help sponsor their dinner tonight.  CAIR's an Islamist organization named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial in 2007 as part of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America, yet, the U.S. Census Bureau is listed as a sponsor along with the Red Cross, IHOP (never eating there again) and others!  

Sponsor Al Furqaan Foundation  wants to deliver the message of the Quran to every individual in America.  This is another Islamic organization that could have foreign funding involved in their operation, like CAIR does.  When are we going to wake and and realize non-violent Islamic activism here is not just about living in peacfeul co-existence but is about pushing Islam forward politically, socially, in every way? 

The fact is there is a political ideology embedded within the Islamic holy books. There are Muslims here in America who reject this ideology such as Dr. Zuhdi Jasser and his organization American Islamic Forum for Democracy. His cause and other such groups is to support spiritual or secular Islam. These are the Islamic organizations that need to rise up in America with our help and support.  Not CAIR.

The Oklahoma elected officials listed in the email as attending CAIR's dinner are Governor Brad Henry's office, Attorney General Drew Edmonson (who is running for governor), Lt. Gov. Jan Askins, State Senators Kenneth Corn, Andrew Rice and State Representatives Shane Jett (now running for the 5th U.S. congressinal district), Wallace Collins, Ryan Keisel, Al McKaffrey, Richard Morrisette, Mike Shelton, and Jabar Zumate.

How, in the hell, do these officials get past CAIR's history or that the FBI has stated CAIR failed to answer their questions about its ties and/or support of Hamas and, as such, considers them an unsuitable partner? Or what local director Razi Hashmi has said and done in support of Hamas and against Israel that virtually mirrors the Muslim Brotherhood. The three founders of CAIR worked at the Islamic Association of Palestine, an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.  An idea came about at a secret Hamas meeting in 1993, recorded by the FBI, to create an organization less noticeable.  CAIR was that organization per testimony of the FBI given in the HLF trial. CAIR came into being in order to blur the extreme differences between the views and goals of IslamIC-American community and that of the IslamIST.

According to an article written in the Edmond Sun by Mark Schlachtenhaufen yesterday, "...State Rep. Richard Morrissette, D-Oklahoma City -- told The Sun he was not intending to attend CAIR’s event, and after he learned about the issue Friday afternoon he informed CAIR he was disassociating himself from the group..."   It took a question from a reporter?   I just want to point out, again, Schlachtenhaufen is the ONLY reporter in Oklahoma that is doing his job here.

Tonight, these officials elected by the citizens of Oklahoma will likely sit through an anti-Israel talk given by Anna Beltzer, their keynote speaker. It's as shameful as it gets and it's disturbing.

I beg those in the press who attend this dinner to hold Hashmi's feet to the fire about his refusal to answer specific questions on documented facts about his organization, their on-going support for convicted terror-supporter Sami Al-Arian and others and about the financial support they may have received from the Census Bureau for their dinner tonight. 

What are we to think of our Muslim neighbors who associate with CAIR?

CAIR's Ibrahim Hooper: Maybe personal demons caused Jihad Jane to act???

I thought you might want to read a remark made recently by CAIR's Communication Director, Ibrahim Hooper (near the end of the article):

...The Council on American-Islamic Relations has questioned the religious devotion of supposed converts like LaRose (Jihad Jane), noting that her live-in boyfriend said she never expressed Islamic sympathies and that she apparently never pledged her faith at a mosque.

"Maybe it's not the Islamic faith that is making them do this; maybe it's just their personal demons," said Ibrahim Hooper, national communications director for the council.

Imam who gave prayer before Virgina House raises concern

Imam Johari Abdul-Malik of the Dar Al-Hijrah Islamic Center in Falls Church, Virginia gave the opening prayer before the Virginia House of Delegates on March 11th.  The prayer he gave was very general and was fine.  But, there's more to the story, I'm afraid.  In an article titled Leader of Radical Mosque Leads Virginia House in Prayer:

...Just last month, the mosque hosted a fundraiser for Sabri Benkahla, who is serving a 10-year prison sentence for obstruction of justice and perjury for statements he made before a Virginia grand jury investigating the "Virginia jihad" terror cell inspired by Timimi.

Abdul-Malik is on record about the moderation of Anwar al-Awlaki, a previous spiritual leader at Dar al-Hijrah who went on to become an al-Qaeda affiliated radical fighting America from Yemen. Abdul-Malik falsely claimed that Awlaki was not extremist during his time at Dar al-Hijrah, when he stated:

"Let's be clear when Anwar Al Awlaki was at Dar Al-Hijrah, he was articulating the same message that I articulate today in Dar Al-Hijrah, a very open, a very engaging, a very community wise and contemporary understanding of the faith within the framework of its traditionalism..."

Awlaki called on Muslims in America to attack us this week.

Islamonline's hard-line board takes control

I've often talked about Islamonline, a Qatar-based website who is overseen by a board chaired by Yusef Qaradawi, the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood who has issued fatwas approving of martyrdom attacks against Israel.  The staff of journalists for the website resided in Egypt.  Now the board has taken control and may move the entire operation to Qatar to impose a more Islamists version of reporting.

Gaza rocket kills worker in Israel

Here's a video report of a Gaza rocket attack on Israel that killed a foreign worker.  Since this report is from an Islamist news agency, I have to point out its important  to remeber the Jewish people were forced from their homes during Islamic supremacy hegemonies - a fact the Muslim world repeated fails to acknowledge.

UC Irvine Jewish students break their silence

The student government at UC Irvine passed legislation last week condoning the behavior of 11 Muslim students who rudely interrupted Israeli Ambassador Michael Orin's speech in February and condemned the harsh punishment given to them by the university's administration.

A number of Jewish students stood before this student body to speak.

Open letter to Awlaki from Dr. Zuhdi Jasser

Below is an open letter from Dr. Zuhdi Jasser to Al-Awlakis audio message:

 

Wednesday, March 17, 2010

Dear Imam Anwar al-Awlaki:

I am in receipt via coverage on CNN of your offensive audio message to American Muslims. As the head of an American Muslim organization dedicated to combating the very ideas you represent, I feel obligated to respond immediately and openly to your offensive call for jihad. I am writing this open letter to you to respond to the cowardly audio you sent from your hole in Yemen to our shores today. Your audio is a cowardly salvo form a man who realizes that his ideas for Islam will never win in a fair playing field of the hearts and minds of Muslims. Your ideas only prevail among Muslims through violence, evil, deception, and coercion. As a father, a doctor, a soldier, a devout Muslim, and most importantly as an American I will no longer allow your toxic message to put our children and our families at risk without a direct American Muslim response.

No, Anwar, this country it is not evil. It is you who is evil and this nation and its people who are blessed. This nation gave my family the freedom and liberty to practice Islam in a way that no majority Muslim nation has ever allowed. I was raised learning to pray, fast, give charity, build mosques, and help those in need in the character of my faith as a result of the free environment of this United States. I learned this despite the repulsive nature of imams like yourself who drive so many reasonable Muslims away from the faith and so many weak and vulnerable ones towards your fascism. My parents fled the radicalism of theo-political fascist thugs like you in the Middle East in order to give our family a fresh start in the land of freedom- America. I have throughout my life in my soul accepted spiritual Islam as my relationship with God; however, I have also always wholly rejected political Islam because of its supremacist mindset which you embody.

Growing up in Wisconsin, learning to become a physician and then serving in our armed forces as a naval officer and a physician, I learned about the beauty of the diversity of America and the equal access of all of its citizens to our society and our government. I learned about the beauty of a government which separates church and state and yet was formed by very pious Christian and all people of faith but yet remaining “under God” as a nation of common morals and values. The United States is a nation which you intentionally misunderstand and twist for your own despotic ambitions. You may believe that moderate Muslims like us at the American Islamic Forum for Democracy are apostates since we reject the Islamic state, political Islam, and governmental shar’iah. But I know Islam well enough to know that there are no intermediaries between a Muslim and God. Takfir (excommunication) is forbidden and you may also be a Muslim but your Islam is not my Islam. You are nothing but a fascist theocrat who uses Wahhabi interpretations of our Qur’an in order to wage illegitimate wars.

The wars of Iraq and Afghanistan are legitimate and are in fact waged with the intention of leaving a far better nation for Muslims and non-Muslims in the free practice of Islam and all faiths than the tyrant Saddam or the despotic Taliban ever did for their citizens which they considered their slaves. You intentionally ignore the representative forms of government being empowered in those nations so that you can deceive those who listen to your propaganda. American troops are simply doing what Muslims should have done in Iraq and Afghanistan long ago. As a freedom-loving Muslim, I pray that the same revolutions for liberty happen from within the nations of Syria, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Iran, Libya, Jordan, the Emirates, and Pakistan to name a few led this time by civil wars from Muslim liberty movements against the thugs, monarchs, autocrats, and theocrats like yourself who are running these nations.

You may have lived in the U.S. but you were never a real citizen of this nation. In fact, let me be the first to call on all American Muslims of conscience to lead a movement and a call of our communities to join our military so that one day when you and your colleagues are brought to justice it may be at the hand of another American Muslim. This is not a war between Muslims and non-Muslims. It is a war between Muslims. The ummah (Muslim nation) is dead. We have abandoned it for the greater protector of freedom which are nations based in freedom like the United States.

The penalty Anwar, for treason against our nation and declaring war against our citizens is death. When I first heard about your influence upon Nidal Hasan, we at AIFD called for your capture by our armed forces immediately as a global threat to the security of our nation and its citizens. I continue that call today.

I am proud as a devout American Muslim to say that I wholly support our nation and our armed forces in their war effort against you, Al Qaeda, and all of your global supporters. I know of many American Muslims that would love to see you suffer the ultimate punishment for your crimes against our nation and our citizens that give our Muslim families freedom and liberty.

Anwar, the Islamic state is dead. The creation of secular liberal democracies in the west that separated church and state (mosque and state for Muslims) after the American Revolution have proven in their success and in my experience living here that they are the best form of government and far preferable for Muslims over your theocratic oppressive Islamic state. As a Muslim, I prefer a legal system that all of our citizens can understand and reason over one based in the oppressive oligarchy of shar’iah.

Anwar, the concept of jihad must be dispensed to the dustbin of history. No oath can ever conflict with our oath to protect this nation as citizens and my oath to protect it as a former U.S. Navy officer. This is not only against the Islam I know, but I as a Muslim want nothing to do with your interpretations of Islam. As an Islamist who believes in political Islam you are certainly in direct conflict with America’s principles of liberty. But as a Muslim who has dedicated my life to countering and combating the ideas of political Islam, I will not allow you to monopolize what is and what is not Islam.

We can separate mosque and state as Muslims. We can abandon all militant jihad and ascribe to the concept of war as deemed just between secular states and reject your collectivization of Muslims. We can read the same Qur’an and tell fascists like yourself that your understanding of freedom is flawed and your interpretation of the Qur’an is medieval.

My conscience and oath as an American and as a Muslim guides me to trust in my military, my communities, and in my government against all enemies foreign and domestic whether Muslim or not. Anwar, our American nationalism and love for this great country and its egalitarian values of liberty is far stronger than your blind hate and fascism will ever be which hides under the veneer of Islam.

I invite you to turn yourself in. to authorities and face a military tribunal for your war crimes. I invite you to be subject to the death penalty for your treason, your disloyalty, and your war crimes to the citizens of the United States of America.

You and the ideas for which you stand are the greatest liability to Muslims across the world. The continuum of political Islam which created you is an assembly line of radicalism against the west which prevents Muslim youth from identifying with a system based in liberty over theocracy. Many Muslims start like you said you did in ‘non-violent Islamic activism’ only to find spiritual sanctioners who lead them to become violent. One day you will realize that most Muslims want nothing to do with the Islamic state and once given freedom to protest and question authority they will express their disgust with theocrats like yourself and your interpretations of Islam.

Enough is enough Anwar. I and other Muslims will no longer remain silent against the spread of your hatred and evil. You may be Muslim, but your Islam is certainly not our Islam. May you soon see the other end of my fellow citizen’s rifles. You are not my brother in Islam.

Sincerely,

Mohamed Zuhdi Jasser

 

 

New website on CAIR documents financial transactions

There is a new website called CAIR Observatory, which is a project of the Center for Security Project, that provides  for your review some of the financial documents that led them to believe CAIR is acting as a foreign agent.

Dr. Bruce Prescott - fan of CAIR

Islamists hearts libs. In Oklahoma we have a religious leader, of sorts, who hearts CAIR, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial for their role in being part of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America.  Below is a screenshot of Dr. Bruce Prescott's facebook page where it shows he has become a fan of CAIR Oklahoma.

It's hard for me to reconcile the mindset of a Christian leader in Oklahoma subscribing to an organization born from a religious supremacist ideology that seeks to create an Islamic state.

Anwar Awlaki calls upon Muslims in America to attack Americans!

American born Anwar Awlaki issued a call for jihad for American Muslims to attack Americans.  His call to action is similar to the one put out recently by Adam Gadahn.  These two men are traitors of America who are linked to Al Qaeda who has declared war against America.  Ghadan was charged with treason under the Bush administration but I am unaware if the Obama administration has not done the same with Awlaki.

Speaking of Ghadan, I found a video of him that has not been mentioned on the news,  that I'm aware which was published by As Shabab - al Qaeda - and posted on YouTube in February.

YouTube provides ample opportunity for jihadists to get there message out, as I have written before.  Here is AlQuranWaAlAhadeeth channel which published some of Awlaki's message complete with their special effects of guns shooting.  This channel refers people to three websites that are quite disturbing. RevolutionMuslim, YouTubejihad, themujahidblog.

Other questionable YouTube channels are Islamic Revolution TV with its 800+ subscribers which I have written about before, sheikh3zaam's channel, yamane90's channel, Omar's channel.

In an TV interview with Steve Emerson on March 13:

"...if I showed you the number of jihadi websites that are on YouTube, that are on the web – they are in the thousands, the tens of thousands. If I showed you the number of "moderate websites" that eschew jihad, that disavow violent extremism, they would be in the tens. So unfortunately, Saudi Arabia and other countries, plus the Wahhabist version in the United States, and the Muslim Brotherhood, control the websites that are basically disseminated throughout – and they also control many of the mosques in the United States that should dissuade people from becoming jihadists, but, in fact, actively encourage them..."

BTW, RevolutionMuslim, who I mentioned above, is run by a man who lives in New York City.

Americans need to wake up.

Interview: Anwar al-Awlaki  on Al Jazeera

L.A. County Sheriff Lee Baca bristles over questions about CAIR

Lee Baca, L.A. County Sheriff,  got rather irritated when questioned by Republican Congressman Mark Souder of Indiana today about his relationship with CAIR in a Homeland Security subcommittee hearing.  He even used one of CAIR's favorite replies to criticism -  its un-American.  Baca claimed CAIR does not support terrorism.

 

Next week he will hold a forum with the Muslim American Homeland Security Council which consists of CAIR and other Islamic groups including the Islamic Shura Council.

 

In May of 2009, the Islamic Shura Council had Muslim Brotherhood leader Jamal Badawi, an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial,  speak at their annual meeting.  Badawi supports Islamic approved martyrdom attacks when necessary.  He also serves on several Islamic councils chaired by the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Yusef Qaradawi, who was banned from the U.S. for issuing fatwas in support of terrorism against Israel.  For example, Qaradawi is chairman of the board of the International Association of Muslim Scholars, headquartered in Dublin, Ireland.  Jamal Badawi, CAIR Canada board member, is listed as a member of the board of trustees, see #17.  Their fatwa on the October War of 1393 AD speaks of their long-standing enemy - Israel; "...In this glorious month righteous deeds are exalted, so how great if such righteous deeds are represented in fighting in the Cause of Allah to defend rights, honor, and sanctities and to render Allah’s religion victorious."  So, is this the real reason for Ramadan?

 

Here's a video of Sheriff Baca praising the Islamic Shura Council.

 

In May, this council will host Tariq Ramadan, the grandson of the founder of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood who was barred from the United States for six years under the Patriot Act.  To my knowledge, he has never disavowed their supremacist ideology to rebuild an Islamic state to rule over Muslims and others the way it had been done for the entire history of Islam until recent times.  In a video about women, at around the 1:54 mark, Ramadan speaks how Muslims do not want to be colonized by the West.

 

Below is a picture of CAIR's Executive Director and co-founder Nihad Awad giving a speech under the Hezbollah flag in 2002:

Kevin Calvey takes early lead in 5th district congressional race!

Yesterday, SoonerPoll revealed Kevin Calvey has taken the early lead in the republican primary for the 5th district congressional race in Oklahoma.

Calvey, a former state representative and Iraq prosecutor during the 2007 surge, is my choice for this important congressional seat.

His early lead could fade so he will need all the help and financial support we can give him.  I urge other Oklahomans to suport Calvey with a donation to his campaign this month.  Individuals can contribute

July 27th is the date of the primary.

CAIR associate, Rep. Shane Jett, enters 5th District Congressional race in Oklahoma

Rep. Shane Jett announced Friday he will join a crowded Republican field in the 5th District congressional primary (Oklahoma City area) for a shot at the seat currently held by U.S. Rep. Mary Fallen (R), a candidate for governor of Oklahoma.

Jett is of particular concern because he associates with CAIR and appears to be quite ignorant of facts about this Islamic organization named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror funding trial for their relationship to the Muslim Brotherhood organizational structure in America that was outed by federal prosecutors in the trial in 2007.  The Muslim Brotherhood is an Islamic supremacist organization banned in Egypt, the country where it was founded.  Its goal is to build a power structure worldwide for a new caliph. This type of religious ruling system ruled over most Muslims and those under its control since the inception of Islam until the last caliphate was defeated in 1924. 

If Jett isn't uniformed about CAIR,  then what does that say about him?   All candidates in this primary, so far, have shown they do not have a clue except one - Kevin Calvey.

Do not underestimate the Muslim Brotherhood presence and influence in America.

Jett was at CAIR's anti-airport profiling townhall meeting this past January.   In an article at the City Sentinel on Jan 21 titled Town hall meeting denounces violence by religious group,  it quoted what he said which seemed to imply our government was the problem.  While, Oklahomans should support Muslims in our state it is problematic and nearly impossible to do so if they involve themselves with CAIR. The FBI broke formal relations with this group for very valid reasons - unanswered questions about its ties and/or support of Hamas - a terrorist organization started by the Muslim Brotherhood,  which has not been resolved.  Muslims in Oklahoma should be encouraged to step up and stand separate from CAIR as other Muslims and Islamic organizations in America have done.

 

Jett was also at CAIR's 2008 annual dinner where controversial U.S Rep Keith Ellison spoke by satellite. The keynote speaker at CAIR's dinner was the new president of Northeastern State University in Talequah, Dr. Don Betz, although CAIR never identified him as the newly appointed president.  Also at the dinner,  was Nihad Awad a former leader at the Islamic Association of Palestine - a Muslim Brotherhood entity shut down by the federal government.  IAP was defined as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in United States vs. Yaser Bushnag (page 3. sec. 4a).  Awad is one of three co-founders of CAIR.

 

Recently, the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma, Razi Hashmi, refused on six different occasions to answer any direct questions about the problems that plague CAIR.

 

Shane Jett is a worrisome candidate.

 

Update 7/12/10:  Oklahoma elected officials attending CAIR Oklahoma dinner!  Includes Shane Jett!

DOJ letter regarding CAIR dated 2/12/2010

The City Sentinel shills for Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas unindicted co-conspirators!

Robin D-Townsend, Associate Publisher of The City Sentinel wrote an article Friday titled A new era of hope; progress in understanding continues that shills for CAIR, an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror-funding trail for this reason.  See this recent DOJ letter.

Townsend included a picture she/he took of Nihad Awad and referenced this CAIR founder.  I've added another one of him for your review.  CAIR was named unindicted co-conspirator on page 5 under Section III titled:  The following are individuals or entities who are and/or were members of the US Muslim Brotherhood's Palestine Committee and/or its organizations.

A 1993 Palestine Committee document states it was formed by the Muslim Brotherhood (U.S. vs. HLF, Exhibit 003-0017). 

In their phone book (U.S. vs. HLF Asqar Search 1) it lists Sadoun as living in Tulsa, Nihad Awad, CAIR's Executive Director is listed along with Ahmad (Ahmed) Agha of Ponca City, #34, 32, and 24 respectively.  This committee wrote of the Islamic Association of Palestine on page 8.

Razi Hashmi dodges facts that haunt CAIR

Razi Hashmi, the director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma has been giving six opportunities to handle the troubling facts about CAIR.  Since November, he has either bragged about CAIR (OETA interview), called other liars here (Newson6) and here (interview) or distanced (OU Daily) CAIR Oklahoma from CAIR, or refused to answer questions (News9)  or claimed critics are misinformed.

Hashmi is all over the place as he refuses to answer direct questions and slings the problem here, there and everywhere.

CAIR has a long and troubling history.  In U.S. vs. Sabri Benkahla. for example, on page 58, footnoted at the bottom, it's clear what plagues CAIR:  From its founding by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, CAIR conspired with other Muslim Brotherhood affiliates to support terrorists and used deception to do so!
