CAIR Oklahoma board member Kamran Alam: SQ 755 author creating fear/Islamobhobia

Kamran Alam (JK Alam), the treasurer of CAIR Oklahoma, implied in a recent news story that the author of SQ 755, Rex Duncan, is probably trying to create a sense of fear and Islamophobic.

Vote Yes for SQ 755 which is a reasonable proactive measure to safeguard Oklahoma's constitution for future decades.

Ban Sharia law: Oklahoma ballot measure reflects wisdom

I am convinced after four years of research that given the chance Islamists who are in our country want to advance their agenda, primarily through partnerships with the left, into the power struture at the local, state and national governments levels. We've already seen some of this happen. Islamists want to chance our country.  They've said so.  Are you listening?  Are you doing your own research?

Oklahoman's have a chance to protect their constitution by banning the creep of Sharia or Islamic law, as well as, Internation law from entering into our court system.  I suggest you review my many writings about the mixed signals we get from Muslim leaders in Oklahoma here and here.  Also review pages upon pages of sourced information about CAIR, which is an outgrowth of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood,  who sadly have been embraced by the a number of Muslim leaders in Oklahoma.

Protect our future!  Vote smart, vote YES for SQ 755.

Two men charges in unrelated terror cases

Two men have been arrested in recent days for plotting to kill Americans in the name of their religion - Islam.

Abdel Hameed Shehadeh was arrested last Friday in Hawaii on terror-related charges. 

"...According to the federal complaint, a witness "informed law enforcement that Shehadeh believed it was the duty of Muslims to fight beside fellow Muslims against their enemies, including the United States military forces."

 And that "Shehadeh attempted to join the United States military as part of his jihad. He intended to commit treason and fight United States soldiers..."

Early this morning, Farooque Ahmed of Virginia was arrested for casing potential bomb targets but the FBI were already on to him.

The indictment says that from April to October, Mr. Ahmed tried to aid what he believed was an al Qaeda plot to carry out multiple bombings at Washington subway stations.

Mr. Ahmed recorded video of stations in Arlington, Va., on four occasions and drew diagrams of three stations, also in Arlington, according to the indictment. He also provided suggestions of where to place bombs in attacks that were purportedly to be carried out in 2011.

David Kris, assistant attorney general for national security, said Mr. Ahmed "is accused of plotting with individuals he believed were terrorists to bomb our transit system, but a coordinated law-enforcement and intelligence effort was able to thwart his plans."

Wake up call: CAIR, free speech, Juan Williams and Islamism!

Here's a Fox News video about Islamism which is very much worth watching when Juan Williams hosted the Bill O'Reilly show last Friday.  Williams discussion about Islamism with Dr. Zuhdi Jasser is important.  Dr. Jasser is a Muslim I very much admire, he heads the American Islamic Forum on Democracy:

 

Thousands of attacks by Muslims since 9/11

Since 9/11 over 16,000 attacks carried out by Muslims have taken place worlwide.  It happens multiple times a day - every single day.  There is a serious threat to the world.

So, with that in mind here's a good discussion that took place on CNN about NPR's firing of Juan Williams.  CAIR representative, Ahmed Rehab, insisted Williams personal opinion was irrational and bigoted.  CAIR is an outgrowth of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood and has a long history of problems in the U.S. so you get what you get with them.  Why the media even uses them is beyond me.  The other guest was Cliff May, who is the president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies (FDD) which was formed shortly after 9/11.   The video is below.

Also, Hayri Abaza, a senior fellow at FDD co-wrote a very good article in Newsweek (OMG, will wonders never cease?) titled "Is It Islamic or Islamist?" chiding the left for supporting Islamism, i.e., political Islam/Islamic supremacy and the right for it dislike of Islamism and confusing it with Islam (however, Islamism is a part of Islam):

"...The left is wrongly defending Islamism—an extremist and at times violent ideology—which it confuses with the common person’s Islam, while the right is often wrongly attacking the Muslim faith, which it confuses with Islamism. Western thinkers must begin to recognize the difference between Islamism and Islam, or we are headed toward an ideologically defined battle with one quarter of humanity.

...The confusion over Islam has real consequences. When was the last time you read a piece by a leftist intellectual criticizing how the AKP is trampling media freedoms in Turkey? Or the Muslim Brotherhood’s refusal to recognize equal rights for women and Christians in Egypt? By defending Islamism, liberals are strengthening one of the biggest threats facing Muslims and Western liberalism alike. Meanwhile, by targeting the Muslim faith, the right is alienating potential allies in the Muslim community: conservative Muslims who want to practice their faith and despise Al Qaeda’s vision...

We have to face the fact that most Islamic countries and all those millions of very good Muslims are not stopping the global Jihadist and Islamist movements.  Why???  There's nothing irrational, bigoted or Islamophobic about this threat.

Americans must have a conversation about Islamism

Reactions to NPR's assnine move to fire Juan Williams after CAIR's call for address it continue.  Here's a good response from Dr. Zuhdi Jasser who heads the American Islamic Forum for Democracy. 

When Dr. Jasser speaks I listen.

Liberal NPR fires Juan Williams over Muslim concern comment!

The political correctness of the liberals is really over the top now.  Do they ignore the global Islamic supremacist movements which are aided by daily terror attacks worldwide?  Do they also ignore the larger networks of Islamists and their organizations who have a presence in America?  Well, do they?  

On the Bill O'Reilly show Monday Juan Willaims said it made him nervous when he saw Muslims in their religious garb at airports after he said political correctness can led to some kind of paralysis when you don't address reality.  This conversation was a continuation of what Bill O'Reilly said on the View recently about who carried out 9/11.

CAIR, an outgrowth of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, may have started this when they issued a press release yesterday:  CAIR Asks NPR to Address Analyst's Remarks on Muslims.  MSNBC wrote NPR fires Juan Williams over anti-Muslim remarks‎, other liberal media followed suit.  Is it really anti-Muslim to express a worry that is supported by the fact there are Muslims who want to kill us and destroy our democracy?   Get real!

 

NPR wrote O'Reilly directly blamed Muslims for 9/11/01.  Oh, the horror of speaking the damn truth.  Muslims did carry out the 9/11 attack.  Many Muslims said it was wrong to do but others implied it was partly our fault because of our foreign policies, including the one who wants to build an Islamic center at a site hit on 9/11, Imam Feisal Rauf. 

Today NPR announced:

O'Reilly has been looking for support for his own remarks on a recent episode of ABC's The View in which he directly blamed Muslims for the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Co-hosts Joy Behar and Whoopi Goldberg walked off the set in the middle of his appearance.

"Williams responded: 'Look, Bill, I'm not a bigot. You know the kind of books I've written about the civil rights movement in this country. But when I get on a plane, I got to tell you, if I see people who are in Muslim garb and I think, you know, they are identifying themselves first and foremost as Muslims, I get worried. I get nervous.'

"Williams also warned O'Reilly against blaming all Muslims for 'extremists,' saying Christians shouldn't be blamed for Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh."

Juan Williams really got screwed here by action taken by NPR that were likely brought on by CAIR's press release.  CAIR is an organization named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest Hamas terror-funding case in U.S. history, folks.  Islamists and some of those on the left often partner together and this is another excellent example.  More Americans need to wake up.

Juan, get a lawyer.

Saudi-based OIC seeks to support Muslims in non-OIC countries

The OIC recently had a meeting in Saudi Arabia with the grand mufta of Bulgaria, Mustafa Haci:

"...OIC Secretary-General Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu welcomed the grand mufti and reiterated the OIC’s close interest and continued support of Muslim communities in non-OIC countries. During the meeting, the secretary-general expressed his concern at restrictions imposed on the Muslim community to elect their own mufti and the way the country’s Islamic Council is recognized by the government.

...Bulgaria, a member of the European Union, does not treat its Christians and Muslims equally. Most of the Bulgarian Waqf bodies have been nationalized and mosque lands are being illegally confiscated,” the grand mufti said.

“When a new mosque is proposed for construction, the community is labeled fundamentalist. At least 130 of the 1,430 mosques in the country have been closed for no valid reason,” he said, adding that anti-Islamic policies are very much in vogue.

Controversial Imam Dremali and wife arrested on marriage fraud charges

Imam Ibrahim Abdelrahman Dremali, a Gaza native,  and his wife Safaa Rashad Eissa were arrested by immirgation officials on federal charges in Arlington, Texas on October 6th after a grand jury in Iowa accused each of them of marrying Americans in order to gain American citizenship.  Dremali is alleged to have displayed extremist views (achieve of Islamonline "South Florida Protest Calls for Jihad" 10/18/2000).  

...They are scheduled to enter pleas Nov. 12 in Iowa on charges of conspiracy to defraud the United States, which can carry a five-year sentence, and procurement of citizenship or naturalization unlawfully, which can result in 10 to 25 years in prison.

...After Dremali emigrated to the U.S., he co-founded the Islamic Center of Boca Raton in 1998. In 2000, the Gaza native, participated in a pro-Palestinian rally in Miami that featured the burning of Israeli flags and a mock funeral for Palestinians killed in the Israeli conflict. According to a published report, Dremali told the crowd "not to be sad for those who were martyred, and to not be afraid to die for what they believe in."

...In May, a grand jury in Iowa accused Dremali of marrying an American citizen in Broward County, Florida, shortly after coming to the U.S. in 1989. Dremali swore on government forms that he was single at the time, even though he had married Eissa in 1987 in Egypt, the indictment states. He divorced his American wife in 1994, the indictment states.

The indictment alleges that in 1991, Eissa came to the U.S. In 1994 she married a man in Fort Lauderdale and divorced him March 26, 1997. A week later, she married Dremali a second time in the U.S., according to the indictment.

During a December 2009 interview with a customs official in San Antonio, Eissa said she had never been married before her first U.S. husband.

...By 2009, Dremali was the director at the Islamic Center of Greater Austin. He also taught Islamic studies at the Austin Peace Academy, a Muslim school..."

Vatican: Arab Christains threatened by rise in political Islam

There are continuing problems for Christians in the Middle East:

Arab Christians face political Islam threat-official says:

Vatican City:  "The rise of political Islam in the Middle East poses a threat to Christians in the Arab world and must be faced down together, a senior Roman Catholic official told a synod of Catholic bishops on Monday.

At the two week meeting to debate how to protect minority communities in the region and encourage harmony with Muslims, the Catholic Coptic Patriarch of Alexandria, Antonios Naguib, also said that attacks against Christians were on the rise due to growing fundamentalism in the region.

"Since 1970, we have witnessed the rise of political Islam in the region, consisting of many different religious currents, which has affected Christians, especially in the Arab world," said Naguib. "This phenomenon seeks to impose the Islamic way of life on all citizens, at times using violent methods, thus becoming a threat which we must face together.

...Difficulties in the relations between Christians and Muslims generally arise when Muslims do not distinguish between religion and politics," Naguib said.

"On this basis, Christians sense an uneasiness at being considered non-citizens, despite the fact that they have called these countries 'home' long before Islam..."

Goldberg, Behar walk off "The View" during Bill O'Reilly today!

What has it come to in America when we can't say Muslims carried out 9/11, when they did?  People had better wake here.

My God,  the largest Islamist inter-government organization in the world, the Saudi-based and backed OIC, own Islamic Figh Council has approved of martyrdom to protect Islam,  They also ruled this can not be called terrorism:

"....The Islamic Fiqh Council asserts that jihad and martyr operations done to defend the Islamic creed, dignity, freedom and the sovereignty of states is not considered terrorism but a basic form of necessary defense for legitimate rights. Thus the oppressed peoples who are subjected to occupation have the right to seek their freedom via all means possible.

The Islamic Fiqh Council stresses that martyr operations are a form of jihad, and carrying out those operations is a legitimate right that has nothing to do with terrorism or suicide. Those operations become obligatory when they become the only way to stop the aggression of the enemy, defeat it, and grievously damage its power.

It is not allowed to use terms such as “jihad”, “terrorism”, and “violence”, which have become frequently used by today’s mass media as scientific terms, to mean other connotations beyond their basic well known meanings..."

To defend Islam is a noble cause and martyrdom is a high honor.  The original link has been removed to this ruling on Islamonline and the whole website went from English to Arabic in a schuffle for power not too long ago.  If you copy and then google the first paragraph of their statement you will see it comes up in on Islamonline.  I also have the webpage saved and will upload it.

Here's a screen shot:

 

Does Joy Behar and Woopie Goldberg realize the OIC is also trying to limit free speech at the U.N. and partner with American Muslims?  Recently, they had a conference in Chicago.  What does all this mean, exactly?  Well, there are Islamists - political Islam proponents - who want to futher their Islamic supremacy cause.  Its global.  Does that automatic mean every Muslims is part of it?  No, it doesn't. But to shame people into ignoring Islamism and their terrorist subordinates undermines our need for clarity and dialogue about it among Muslims in this country.  If you are just walked out on or called any number of names implying you hate Muslims, then we can not have an important dialogue.

This is a must watch video of Bill O'Reilly's visit to the "The View" today:

Musllim Brotherhood's new Supreme Guide: U.S. is in its end...

The Muslim Brotherhood's new Supreme Guide, Muhammad Badi, has given several sermons about waging jihad since taken office in January, according to MEMRI. 

This includes his September 30th sermon about the end of America titled "The U.S. is now experiencing the Beginning of Its End'; Improvement and Change in the Muslim World 'Can Only Be Attained Through Jihad and Sacrifice".

"According to the Islamic shari'a that Allah [has bequeathed] to mankind, the status of the Muslims, compared to that of the infidel nations that arrogantly [disdain] his shari'a, is measured in a kind of scale, in which, when one side is in a state of superiority, the other is in a state of inferiority...

...They crucially need to understand that the improvement and change that the [Muslim]nation seeks can only be attained through jihad and sacrifice and by raising a jihadi generation that pursues death just as the enemies pursue life..."

I just wished MEMRI had a copy of the sermon they translated. Anyway, I sure can't find it,  but I can't read arabic,  either.

If this is true, and I have no reason to doubt it, the Muslim Brotherhood's rhertoric towards violence may be racketing up.

OIC Secretary General: "Your freedom ends where mine starts."

The OIC is a Saudi-based and backed inter-governmentsl global Islamist organization.  Here's what Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, its Secretary General, said recently in an interview with the Council on Foreign Relations posted on October 1st about their efforts to take on a broader role in the world and bring it under international rule: 

...The OIC adopted a separate Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in 1990, a parallel document to the UN's 1948 Universal Human Rights Declaration. Why do Muslims need a separate declaration? Are there provisions of the 1948 declaration that Muslims think are not, indeed, universal?

I believe that universal human rights are compatible with Islam, and I have no problem on that. I had made a statement in Geneva in the Humans Rights Council that we look forward to integrating our system [the Cairo declaration] with the United Nations system, and now we have established a new human rights committee for us.

...In the United States, you are free to ridicule your leaders, you can burn the flag, you can desecrate any sacred object. But in other countries it is not the case.

You don't need to ridicule Jesus Christ or to burn the Bible. This is an insult. Is burning the Quran or the Bible a sign of freedom? If I come and punch you, is it a sign of freedom? This is not ideas. There is a limit of decency. There is a limit of freedom. Your freedom ends where my freedom starts. You need freedom and responsibility. Otherwise it will be jungle.

Who decides what is sacred and what's not sacred?

The international community decides. We are not are not encroaching on freedom of expression. We invite people to respect our values as they expect us to respect their values..."

A Conversation With Tariq Ramadan 4/27/10

Controversial Tariq Ramadan to speak at Oklahoma City University

 This Mondy the highly controversial, and suspected covert-Islamist, Tariq Ramadan gave a lecture titled "A Radical Reform of Muslim Minds” at Oklahoma City University in the Wanda L. Bass Music Center at NW 25 and Blackwelder Avenue in Oklahoma City.  Professor Mohamed Daadaoi of OCU claimed in the NewsOK article his talk is needed because of the push-back Muslims are getting from their Islamic activism.  Of course, he didn't word it quite that way but expressed it as their alleged victimhood.

Tariq Ramadan is the grandson of the founder of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al-Banna. He is the son of Said Ramadan a prominent Muslim Brotherhood figure who was expelled from Egypt by Gamal Abdel Nasser, according to Oxford Islamic Studies.

They were Islamists. Hamas was created from the Muslim Brotherhood in Palestine with goals to destroy Israel for Islam which is a big part of their religious goals.  Ramadan was banned from entering the U.S. in 2004 for allegedly contributions to an Hamas-linked charity.  It apparently wasn't an issue for the current administration because Hillary Clinton personally lifted the ban. Ramadan is a strong critic of American foreign policy, just like most Islamists.  They want to take down our democracy.

Ramadan wrote of his admiration and reverence for his grandfather's religious life's work. This is a man who was assassinated for his religous extremism after a brotherhood member killed the Prime Minister of Egypt.  Disturbing.  I am unaware he has denounced the Muslim Brotherhood.

al-Banna once wrote that Islamic scholars:

"Agree unanimously that jihad is a communal defensive obligation imposed upon the Islamic ummah in order to broadcast the summons (to embrace Islam), and that it is an individual obligation to repulse the attack of unbelievers upon it." As a result of unbelievers ruling Muslim lands and humbling Muslim honor: "It has become an individual obligation, which there is no evading, on every Muslim to prepare his equipment, to make up his mind to engage in jihad, and to get ready for it until the opportunity is ripe and God decrees a matter which is sure to be accomplished."  Five Tracts of Hasan al-Banna (1906-1949): A Selection from the Majmu‘at Rasa’il al-Imam al-Shahid, translated by Charles Wendell (Berkeley, University of California Press, 1978), page 150-151

Can anyone provide me with Ramadan's specific denouncement of the Muslim Brotherhood Islamic supremacy idealogy?

CAIR is an outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America which is documented in several court cases.  Professor Daadaoui has participated in several venues with them. Are you surprised?  The Muslim Brotherhood set up a number of national organizations which were identified in their own document for their plans to take over America - slowly, incrementally over a long period of time.

Mohamed Daadaoui writes a blog called Maghred Blog. On Sharia law he wrote:

"A must-read on Sharia and political Islam. Johnson relies on the latest Gallup poll 2008 results which indicates a new understanding of how Muslims view Shari'a, not as a corpus of legal codes promoting theocracy, but good governance. Shari'a has become a manifesto for liberating Muslims from corrupt governments. The challenge remains in chaotic regions, where there is a power vacuum, such as Northwestern Pakistan and Somalia, where tribal leaders have perverted Quranic and Hadithic texts to suit their fossilized view of the religion."

Are you paying attention?

SQ 755: A yes vote bans sharia law in Oklahoma!

Update 11/02/10 8:41 PM CT:   70% voted yes to ban sharia & International law

Liberals in Oklahoma and their Islamist partners, like CAIR Oklahoma,  often call those of us who are in favor of SQ 755, which is an amendment to ban sharia and international law from being considered in our states courts, Intolerant, ignorant, bigots, fear-mongers, paranoid schizophrenics, "born-again" bigots, intolerant, hateful, anti-Islamic, McCarthy-like, xenophobics, Islamophobics and, of course,  anti-Muslim. Their verbal smear tactics are nothing but red flags waving widely in our faces.  Do you feel all that hot air trying to seal your mouth shut?  Let's fact it, being able to explain one's objections against this measure in an intelligent, logical and meaningful ways without casting dispersions on others is the right way to defend a position.  I'm thinking when Oklahomans are called these names over SQ 755, it will increase the votes for it.

 

OIC wants to stop critics of Islam; seeks to engage directly with American Muslims

I've written about the danger of the Islamic supremacist Saudi-based/backed Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) several times now.  Critics claim it's an Islamic caliphate in the making, with slow incremental steps already made towards that end.  No one should rule out that possibility since their leverage and influence at the U.N. is indeed growing.

School apologizes for what happened on field trip to mosque

A Massachusetts school district apologized last month for a field trip to the Islamic Society of Boston where the children were proselytized:

"...On Thursday, nearly four months after the incident, the Wellesley School District sent a letter to parents apologizing for what happened. "I extend my sincere apologies for the error that occurred and regret the offense it may have caused,” Superintendent Bella Wong wrote in a statement provided to FOX News Radio. “In the future, teachers will provide more clear guidance to students to better define what is allowed to fulfill the purpose of observation...”

The field trip was recorded by a mother who went along.  The video below includes her video plus information known about the Boston Islamic center.

Today, Osama bin-Laden's voice is supposedly on a audio calling for help in Pakistan.  I listened to the audio of it posted at ABC News, but it didn't sound like him.  The picture shown in the audio is not Bin-Laden but his 2nd in command.  Other outlets said the audio has bin Laden's picture.  Did ABC put up the wrong tape?  Maybe, they did it on purpose.

UPDATE 6:50 PM ABC has the right thing up now.
