CAIR, ISNA and NAIT's link to Holy Land Foundation Hamas case evident judge rules

Evidence submitted in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror-funding case sufficiently linked CAIR, Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust to it  At the time they were named unindicted co-conspirators in the largest terror-funding case in U.S. history in 2007,  I recall reading that making a list like this public was unusual but if the government felt there was compelling reasons for the public to know, it was justified. 

Judge grants preliminary injunction on SQ 755!

Federal Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange took the side of CAIR Oklahoma's director Muneer Awad this afternoon agreeing that his 1st amendment right would be violated if the state banned sharia law from consideration in state courts.  She granted him a preliminary injunction which will prevent the Oklahoma Election Board from certifying SQ 755 which passed with 70% of the votes, until the court rules on its legal merits, which could take a few months.

Proud Muslim what about the Islamic supremacist groups in America?

Trying to get answers for a local Tulsa Muslim who writes under the screen name Proud Muslim is next to impossible.  Here's one of my latest attemtps in the comments section from a Letter to the Editor: The hidden agenda

November 24, 2010:

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up zTruth, Tulsa (2 months ago) Proud Muslim do you not acknowledge there are global Islamist movements that are present in the U.S.? Your response seems very odd to me. "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Group in North America," is an internal document written by the Muslim Brotherhood and approved by their shura council. It was introduced in the largest Hamas terror-funding trial in U.S. history. Their plan included setting up national Islamic organizations to help push Islam forward to help advance their Islamic supremacist goal which is to rule over all other religions. CAIR was started by leaders of the Islamic Association of Palestine, an overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, it's highly significant CAIR's director in Oklahoma is suing the state.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up Proud Muslim, Tulsa: Coolest place in the world (almost) (2 months ago) "Your response seems very odd to me." Humor is lost on you, zTruth.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up zTruth, Tulsa (2 months ago) Proud Muslim, you didn't answer the question. Do you acknowledge there are Islamic supremaicst movements in the U.S.?

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up Proud Muslim, Tulsa: Coolest place in the world (almost) (2 months ago) Wow. And me thinking it was a hypothetical question. I guess all humor really is lost on you. You have my pity.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up zTruth, Tulsa (2 months ago) Why would I ask a "hypothetical" question about a real document written by the Muslim Brotherhood laying out their plans to subvert our democracy? Just answer the question.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up Proud Muslim, Tulsa: Coolest place in the world (almost) (2 months ago) Wait, was that also a hypothetical question?

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up zTruth, Tulsa (2 months ago) Proud Muslim, your fluffy happy talk can only go so far, which should be rather revealing to others. There are serious underlying issues that cause problems and mistrust with Muslim communities around the country. One is the avoidance about these Islamic supremacist movements. But, I already knew to expect that from you after having previous conversations with you. CAIR's Muneer Awad was featured on Ikhwanophobia, which is a website that exposes those who fear members of the Muslim Brotherhood. The Muslim Brotherhood's main English website links to it.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up Proud Muslim, Tulsa: Coolest place in the world (almost) (2 months ago) "your fluffy happy talk can only go so far" What would you expect from a fluffy happy Muslim? (Now THAT'S a hypothetical question!) ;)

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up zTruth, Tulsa (2 months ago) Honesty would be nice.

 

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up drudge2, Tulsa (2 months ago) zTruth: Do you acknowledge there are Christian supremaicst movements in the U.S.? "Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ -- to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness. But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice. It is dominion we are after. Not just influence. It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time. It is dominion we are after. World conquest. That's what Christ has commissioned us to accomplish. We must win the world with the power of the Gospel. And we must never settle for anything less... Thus, Christian politics has as its primary intent the conquest of the land -- of men, families, institutions, bureaucracies, courts, and governments for the Kingdom of Christ." (From The Changing of the Guard: Biblical Principles for Political Action by George Grant, published in 1987 by Dominion Press)

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up Proud Muslim, Tulsa: Coolest place in the world (almost) (2 months ago) Yes, honesty is nice. :)

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up zTruth, Tulsa (2 months ago) drudge2, it would help me if you actually named a few of those movements and provided me and others with some concrete information to review (i.e., court documents and so on). You are speaking in generalities so I am not sure what you mean here. The Muslim Brotherhood plan to subvert our country is part of a global Islamic supremacist movement of which there is documented court evidence to review.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up drudge2, Tulsa (2 months ago) Ahh, you beat me to it, true2form. But thanks for having my back. What about it, z?

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up (1) Oklahomer, Sapulpa (2 months ago) Ghost: You missed my point completely. This state question was measure to get simple-minded conservatives stirred up so that they would come to the polls and register their hatred for Muslims and elect Tea Party Republicans to office. It is a waste of time and money for the state to defend a clearly unconstitutional and hateful measure. If I were a Muslim, I would be greatly offended by the low intelligence and the mean-spirit exhibited by a majority of the Oklahoma voters. In fact, I am not a Muslim and I am offended by the low intelligence and mean-spirit exhibited by a majority of the Oklahoma voters. We use to be a much better state and people.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up not normal, (2 months ago) True2form and Drudge2- you guys are awesome! Proud Muslim- You are the coolest person in Oklahoma

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up zTruth, Tulsa (2 months ago) If you go to the SPLC case docket page and type in the keyword Christian, only five civil cases they filed come up from 1969 to 1999. I didn't see any indication there are large Christian supremacist movements here. What I need is federal court documents that show where any of these groups had plans to subvert our country used as evidence against them. Also, I would need the court documents about their nationwide and/or global movements, and/or their funding of Chrisitan terrorists and so on that have been uncovered by the FBI or other law enforcement agencies. I would need to review all these court documents before I could say there are Christian supremacist movements in the U.S. The SPLC is well-known as a left-wing civil rights organization but its cases against Christian supremacists seemed extremely small.

Report Comment  |  Thumbs Up Proud Muslim, Tulsa: Coolest place in the world (almost) (2 months ago) Aw, shucks, not normal! :)

Judge Miles-LaGrange extends TRO on SQ 755!

Moments ago in Oklahoma City, Federal Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange extended her Temporary Restraining Order by one week on the certification of the vote on Oklahoma SQ 755 that took place on November 2nd. 

Muneer Awad claims he's basically alone, without CAIR, in lawsuit

In an article titled  State Question 755 Certification Stalled published on UCO360 on the 16th, Muneer Awad claimed he was basically going it alone in the lawsuit he filed against SQ 755:

Chuck Guzak blamed the right wing in Oklahoma for the passing of SQ 755 and fueling Islamophobia in his opinion article, Who's Afraid of Big-Bad Sharia in the Cornell Daily Sun today.  He argued that allowing Sharia courts in the U.S. would change nothing here.

Amicus Curiae brief opposes SQ 755 suit by Muneer Awad of CAIR Oklahoma

Attorney Kevin Calvey filed an Amicus Curiae brief for The United States Border Control, the United States Border Control Foundation, the Lincoln Institute for Research and Education and the Conservative Legal Defense and Education Fund in Oklahoma in federal court yesterday regarding SQ 755. 

"Ikhwanophobia" features Muneer Awad of CAIR Oklahoma!

There's a fairly new website called Ikhwanophobia setup to expose those horrible people they claim have an irrational fear of members of the Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood and, of course, for good measure they extended that fear to all Muslims.  This Islamist website claims, among other things on their about page, that "Intimidation of the Muslim Brotherhood, of course, leads to many negative consequences that are contrary to basic human rights."

As you can see Muneer Awad of CAIR Oklahoma is featured on their home page today  (screen shot taken 11/15/10).  Standing next to him in support is Nathaniel Batchelder, the Director of the Peace House in Oklahoma City:

 

A link to Ikhwanophobia can be found on the official Muslim Brotherhood English language website (screen shot taken 11/15/2010):

Prosecutors for largest Hamas terroring funding case recognized by Eric Holder

Attorney General Eric Holder gave an "Award For Distinguished Service" to the Texas team who investigated and prosecuted the Holy Land Foundation, the country's largest terror-funding arm of Hamas.

Oklahoma AG has a duty to its citizens to question motive of CAIR!

Muneer Awad, who has been on the job at CAIR Oklahoma for less than a month and who just graduated from law school last year, said sharia law is merely a religious guide and a religious freedom right.  Is that accurate?  To me, religious guidance is not the same thing as religious rulings/sharia law. I am unaware the U.S. has legally defined it, yet.   Many Islamic countries use sharia as the basis for all their laws, which includes the loss of religious freedom, an irony worth noting. 

Tap down the ignorance in Oklahoma; Rachel Maddow interviews Muneer Awad

Last night the new director of CAIR's chapter in Oklahoma, Muneer Awad, was on the low-rated leftist Rachael Maddow's show where he ripped Oklahoma politicians who authored or supported SQ 755 and claimed their campaign was one of misinformation designed to raise fear and disrespect of Muslims.  Before Maddow interviewed Awad she went over some of the hate mail CAIR claimed they received (how stupid can one be?).  Near the end of the video Awad said the campaign to pass SQ 755 was based on hate, VIOLENCE and fear. 

HAPPY VETERANS DAY!

Honor, respect, sacrifice and duty, are words that come to mind as we thank veterans for their service to our country today.

God Bless You.

Pakistani Christian woman sentenced to death for her faith!

Did Oklahoma Attorney General NOT file a response on behalf of voters in SQ 755?

One of the authors of Oklahoma SQ 755, Rep. Anthony Sykes, was quoted by Fox News today making an astonishing claim that Attorney General Drew Edmonston (D) did NOT file a brief to defend the people's vote in court today:

"District Court Judge Vicki Miles-LeGrange ruled that the measure, which passed by a large margin in last Tuesday's elections, would be suspended until a hearing on Nov. 22, when she will listen to arguments on whether the court's temporary injunction should become permanent.

...Supporters of the Oklahoma ballot initiative, which passed with 70 percent of the vote, would not comment on the impact of the ruling. But state Sen. Anthony Sykes, who co-authored the measure, charged that the judge ruled as she did because the state’s attorney general, Drew Edmondson, failed to respond to the suit.

“The attorney general failed to file a response,” Sykes said. “I am afraid that this might get written in stone that shouldn’t be because the attorney general is leaving and a new one is coming in.” 

Calls to Edmondson’s office were not returned.

Oklahoma state Rep. Rex Duncan, who co-sponsored the bill, said he hadn’t seen the judge's written ruling yet, but he was disappointed that “her words from the bench indicated she had completely embraced the plaintiff’s arguments.”

“They were pretty extraordinary statements from the judge,” he said.

Duncan and Sykes both said the state should have challenged whether Awad had the standing to bring the case.

“As far as we know, he flew into here from Georgia just to make the case," Duncan said. "We don’t think he is an Oklahoma resident or plans to stay. We don’t think he had standing...”

An Assistant Attorney General in Edmondson's office, William F. O'Brien, has written numerous opinion articles shilling for CAIR and promoting Islam since 2008.

The Honorable Vicki Miles-LaGrange was appointed by President Clinton.

ACTION:  I encourage people to flood his office with calls expressing concern that he did not file a response/brief on the voters behalf on SQ 755 yesterday.   OKC 405-521-3921 | Tulsa 918-581-2885

New video calls for jihad against Americans; Awlaki's daddy in court today

In a courtroom in Washington, D.C., attorneys representing the father of Anwar Awlaki argued that the targeted kill list his son is on violates his constitutional rights.  Kinda embarassing for Awlaki's daddy since today his son released another video calling for death of Americans. 

What kind of crazy world are we in now???

Judge hears arguments in targeted killing case:

U.S. District Judge John Bates heard arguments in the case of Anwar al-Awlaki on the same day that the American cleric made a renewed call for jihad against U.S. citizens in a video posted on extremist websites.

...Al-Awlaki's father, Nasser al-Awlaki of Yemen, has sued Obama to stop the targeted killing of his son, who was born in New Mexico, and to force the government to disclose standards for determining whether U.S. citizens can be targeted for death. He argues that the president's authority to unilaterally declare a targeted killing violates his son's constitutional right to due process.

"What the government is doing is imposing the death penalty without trial," said Jameel Jaffer, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, which along with the Center for Constitutional Rights has taken al-Awlaki's case.

(DOJ) Letter told Bates the court has no legal authority to be "looking over the shoulder" of the president as he makes military decisions to protect Americans against terrorist attacks.

"We're going to the very core powers of the president as commander in chief," Letter said.

 

Federal judge approves temporary injunction on SQ 755

 
 

Today federal judge, Vicki Miles-LaGrange,  who was appointed by President Clinton, approved a temporary 14 day hold on the certification of the overwhelming vote of the citizens of Oklahoma to amend the state's constitution to ban sharia and international law from consideration in state courts.  Note, this amends the constitution so that state courts do not use or consider foreign law.

A hearing is planned for November 22nd at 10 AM where arguments for both sides will be heard.

 Update 6:00 PM CT:  From KOCO Oklahoma City:  "...Islamic leader, Imam Imad Enchassi said the passing of SQ 755 would impose on his civil liberties as an American and damage the character of Muslims.  

"I've been called to court many times on Middle Eastern and Islamic ways and Islamic codes and ethics and so on and so fourth. Now, a judge might look at the law and say you know what, we'll take the rabbi testimony, we'll take the preacher testimony, but your testimony is null and void just because you're Muslim," he said.  

Enchassi said it is disturbing that lawmakers aren't condemning the state question.Islamic leader, Imam Imad Enchassi said the passing of SQ 755 would impose on his civil liberties as an American and damage the character of Muslims..."

Is that right Imam Enchassi?  Can you name some cases?

CAIR Oklahoma's Muneer Awad gets worked-up on radio after questioned about CAIR

Today, in little over an hour, the brand new director (<month) of CAIR Oklahoma, Muneer Awad, will be in federal court in Oklahoma City to legally challenge the will of the people of Oklahoma after they passed SQ 755 on November 2nd to ban sharia and international law from consideration by state courts in the future.  The suit wants to stop the election board from certifying the results.  It will be heard before a judge appointed by President Clinton, the Honorable Vicki Miles-LaGrange.  Last year, Judge Miles-LaGrange gave a commencement speech titled "Idealism" to the graduating students at Oklahoma City University School of Law.

Muneer Awad, apparently, recently moved to Oklahoma to assume his position at CAIR but he sued the state as an individual. 

Yesterday,  Awad was interviewed on New York City's WABC 770 AM.  Near the end he gets agitated when questioned about some of the facts that haunt CAIR.  Listen to his interview at CAIR's Shariah defender dodges questions on terror ties.  The really interesting stuff starts at the 9:50 minute mark.

Awad dodged facts about CAIR similar to his predecessor, Razi Hashmi, who did it over and over again. 

I do believe Awad imply the interviewer was a liar.

Hearing set for Monday regarding Muneer Awad's legal attempt to stop the will of Oklahomans

A hearing is set for Monday at 10 AM before a judge appointed by Clinton, the Honorable Vicki Miles-LaGrange, over one man's legal attempt filed by the director of CAIR Oklahoma, Muneer Awad, to stop the Oklahoma Election Board from certifying the expressed will of the people of Oklahoma after they passed SQ 755 by 70% of the citizens to ban state courts from considering Sharia and international law in the coming decades. 

OU's Routes pushing Islam on heels of historic vote to ban sharia law!

Routes is an college magazine that showcases work of college students relating to issues about Oklahoma run by the Gaylord College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Oklahoma.

I was completely taken aback to see their front page and cultural section mainly devoted to Islam or Muslim victimhood. This includes a slide show of pictures where one featured a photo of a larger Quran next to a smaller Bible, pictured above.

Some of Routes latest articles presented a peaches and cream positive image of Islam, or of their victimhood.  All  ignored a move by Muslims leaders in Oklahoma to hookup with one of the most controversial Islamist organizations in the country, CAIR, which was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest Hamas terror-funding trial in U.S. history.

Their new director in Oklahoma sued the state this week to stop the will of the people in their historic vote to ban sharia law from being used in state court.  One of their article features Saad Mohammed, one of the two co-founders of CAIR Oklahoma but they didn't mention this at all.  Last summer, CAIR Oklahoma's board chair, Michael Aziz Gipson was charged with mortgage fraud and conspiracy.

Here are some of their recent articles:

Muslim organization stands with Oklahomans on passing SQ 755

The American Islamic Forum on Democracy has issued a press release praising Oklahomans for passing SQ 755, which bans sharia and international law from consideration in state court:

AIFD PRESS RELEASE: American Muslim organization applauds Oklahoma anti-shariah law

Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, a devout Muslim and the president and founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy (AIFD) issued the following statement regarding the passage of Oklahoma's State Question 755.

"As Muslims dedicated to modernity, reform and our one law system in the west and in the United States, AIFD applauds the people of Oklahoma for passing State Question 755 and making "the legal precepts of other nations or cultures" off-limits to Oklahoma courts and specifically denying the use of Sharia Law.

The issue is simple. As Americans we believe in the Constitution, the Establishment Clause, and our one law system. SQ755 reaffirms the First amendment to the Constitution and prevents the Establishment or empowerment of a foreign legal system like the specific shariah legal systems implemented in many Muslim majority nations and in western shariah courts seen in places like Britain.

By filing a lawsuit, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has wasted no time in proving once again that they are unable to stand behind public declarations that the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights and our one law system supersede and are preferable to a sharia law system. They are using the American cover of religious freedom to try and knock down a simple law that prohibits the domination of one religion over others

...To those who say "Why Oklahoma?", we say "Why not Oklahoma?" The Oklahoma precedent and example is important. It has already showed CAIR's hand and where they place shariah law in relation to the Constitution. CAIR flippantly states that the law is not necessary. By implying that Islam and shariah are inseparable they demonstrate a willful denial of the internationally pervasive draconian shariah law systems around the world in places like Iran, Sudan, Saudi Arabia to name a few, and how academically clear the legal system of shariah law is. Note should be made of how CAIR's response to SQ755 does not address any of the harms instituted against Muslims and non-Muslims around the world in the name of shariah law.

AIFD and most reformist Muslims believe a ban on shariah courts is necessary to protect the rights of the individual and in particular the rights of women.."

Thank you Dr. Jasser from the bottom of this Okie's heart and the 70% of us voted to take a stand against Islamism.

Muneer Awad's lawsuit against Oklahoma made on his "own Shariah-compliant will"

What is Shariah? Shariah is a dynamic legal framework derived from the Quran (Islam’s revealed text), the traditions of the Prophet Muhammad, the ongoing consensus of Islamic scholars, and analytical reasoning.  ---CAIR  

Below is a copy of the lawsuit filed today in Federal Court against the Oklahoma Election Board regarding a constitutional amendment passed by 70% of Oklahomans to not allow state courts to consider sharia or international law in the decades to come.  The individual suing is Muneer Awad the new director of CAIR Oklahoma.  He just recently moved to Oklahoma to assume the position.  Now he, and he alone,  wants to stop the election board from certifying the election result for SQ 755.

(photo credit peacearena.org)

In CAIR's press release it stated in part:

"...At a news conference today in the State Capitol Building, CAIR-OK Executive Director Muneer Awad said he has filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court -- Western District Of Oklahoma as an individual seeking a temporary restraining order and a preliminary injunction to prevent final certification of the amendment by the Oklahoma State Board of Elections.

Awad's lawsuit, which is based on his own Shariah-compliant will, says SQ 755 violates the First Amendment's Establishment Clause that bars government bodies from making laws "respecting the establishment of religion."

His own shariah compliant will???

Lawsuit:  Download Argument

Click here for an audio of the press conference CAIR Oklahoma held with their left-wing partners in Oklahoma city yesterday found at Oklahomacitizen.  Imam Enchassi stated he uses sharia law everyday. Today we learn, for sure, that CAIR see sharia law as completely intertwined with Islam.  This is Islamism to me. Throughout the press conference you hear the Muslim victim-mentality and the name-calling rhetoric continue. 

Many would argue that Sharia law and/or Islamic supremacy is a rising threat to democracies throughout the world.  CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest Hamas terror-funding case in U.S. history and was founded by leaders of the Islamic Association of Palestine, an overt arm of the Islamic supremacist Mulsim Brotherhood.

Update 11/5/10 5 PM CT: 

AIFD PRESS RELEASE: American Muslim organization applauds Oklahoma anti-shariah law

CAIR Oklahoma really miffed about Oklahoman's ban on sharia law!

Last night, News Channel KFOR (4) in Oklahoma City reported more about a possible lawsuit against -  well - the majority of Oklahomans who voted to amend their state's constitution to ban sharia and interntaional law from consideration in court cases on November 2nd.

Although CAIR and other Muslims claim sharia law is impossible here they have found it necessary to try to prevent it from being prevented with a lawsuit.  So, you really have to ask yourself why.  Are they saying Islam and Sharia law are one and the same?

KFOR Video:

   

Did I mention Imam Imad Enchassi in Oklahoma City posted part of verse from the Quran on Facebook yesterday which could be considered an incitement for Muslims to fight?  I don't know what his intent was but it was a provacative verse to use, to say the least.  See my previous post for more details.

Featured: Oklahoma bans sharia law; CAIR sues, Imam Enchassi posts verse 2:216 for fighting!

On November 2nd, 70% of Oklahomans who voted decided overwhelmingly to amend the state constitution to ban judges from considering or using sharia or international law when deciding cases.  Politico quickly reported "Muslims leaders" in Oklahoma intended to fight this in court.

Secure Flight requires airlines to collect a passenger’s full name (as it appears on government-issued ID), date of birth, gender and Redress Number (if applicable). By providing complete information, passengers can significantly decrease the likelihood of watch list misidentification. Secure Flight watch list matching takes a matter of seconds to complete, and providing this data enables passengers to print their boarding passes at home or at an airline kiosk.

For airlines, November 1, 2010, marks the end of the year-long grace period to clear out their systems of older reservations made before Secure Flight requirements took effect in October 2009. After November 1, 2010, Secure Flight will not conduct watch list matching or approve the issuance of a boarding pass by an airline if complete passenger data is not submitted...

Deadliest Iraqi Catholic church attack, scores dead

Recently, the Pope warned about the perils of Christians in the Middle East. Yesterday, one more reason was made very clear when a Catholic Church was attacked: 

Iraq's dwindling Christian community was grieving and afraid on Monday after militants seized a Baghdad church during evening Mass, held the congregation hostage and triggered a raid by Iraqi security forces. The bloodbath left at least 58 people killed and 78 wounded - nearly everyone inside.

The attack, claimed by an al-Qaida-linked organization, was the deadliest ever recorded against Iraq's Christians, whose numbers have plummeted since the 2003 U.S.-led invasion as the community has fled to other countries.
