Muslim Brotherhood plans newspaper and satellite channel!

Today Al-Masry Al-Youm, an Egyptian independent media outlet reported that the Muslim Brotherhood plans to launch a newspaper and a satellite channel from a statement by the group's leader, General Guide Mohamed Badie.

If successful, I wonder if it will soon be available on Dish TV International in America like pro-Islamist Al Jazeera is now?

Disturbing: shariah march in London on March 25th

A disturbing Islamic supremacist march took place on Oxford Street in London.  It's a great example of Islamism/political Islam.  The video shows the ultimate shariah goal of some Muslims:

 

Thomas More Law Center joins counsel for Tulsa Police Captain Paul Fields, amends complaint!

The Thomas More Law Center, a Michigan-based. not-for-profit public interest law firm that defends the religious freedom of Christians, has joined the legal counsel in a civil rights lawsuit filed by Tulsa Police Captain Paul Fields against the Tulsa Police Department after he was "stripped of his command" and reassigned duties after refusing to order his officers to attend an event at the Islamic Society of Tulsa which Fields believed fell outside of police community duties:

Sharia law panel: Ignorant Oklahomans were told what to think on SQ 755!

Ignorant Oklahomans were told what to think?  That's what I got out of a recent sharia law panel moderated by Rev. Bill Crowell of Boston Avenue Methodist Church.  Crowell is president of the Board of the Tulsa Metropolitan Ministry, one of the sponsors of the "Islamic Agenda in Oklahoma" PR series.  Tulsa Community College was also listed as a sponsor. 

ACTION: Oklahoma anti-foreign law bill, HB 1552, protects rights from errant judicial rulings

Oklahoma HB 1552 passed the State House in a stunning 76-3 vote on March 17th.  The bill is authored by Rep Kern and co-authored by Reps. Reynolds and Ritze.  State Senator Anthony Sykes is listed as the author in the Senate. The purpose of the bill is to protects citizens from the enforcement of any judicial ruling that could favor a ruling that could limits the fudamental rights of citizens.  Representatives Mike Shelton, Cory Williams, and Emily Virgin were the state reps who voted against it.

Florida judge orders parties to settle mosque dispute according to Islamic law!

Earlier this month, Florida Judge Richard A. Neilson ruled a civil dispute over a mosque at the Islamic Education Center of Tampa brought on by several of its trustees would proceed “under Ecclesiastical Islamic Law”!   First, to have the disputing parties try to settle it among themselves, then within the Muslim community then, if still not settled, before an Islamic judge which, in my opinion, prevents the parties from seeking legal remedies from the larger community of legal recourse available to all other Americans.  The order was a response to the plantiff's emergency motion to enforce an arbitrator's award.  It appears to me, and I'm not an attorney, if Muslims in Florida enter a arbitration agreement using Islamic law they lock themselves into a narrow framwork that will likely upheld by the Florida court.

Judge Neilson's order effectively acknowledges and advances sharia law as a legitimate tool for settling matters between Muslims in the U.S.   In Texas in 2003, an appeals court ruled in another arbitratation case similarly.

It's a disturbing trend.

Update 3/22/11:  "...But attorney Paul Thanasides last week appealed Nielson's decision with the 2nd District Court of Appeal, saying religion has no place in a secular court.  His client: the mosque.

"The mosque believes wholeheartedly in the Koran and its teachings," Thanasides said Monday. "They certainly follow Islamic law in connection with their spiritual endeavors. But with respect to secular endeavors, they believe Florida law should apply in Florida courts."

Former CAIR-Michigan Executive Director Muthanna al-Hanooti to be sentenced Friday

The former Executive Director of the Michigan chapter of CAIR, Muthanna al Hanooti, will be sentenced Friday for violating an executive order prohibiting people from doing any business with Iraq:

"...Al-Hanooti was identified as executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) Michigan office in 2000. But the charges against him deal with his work with a charity called Life for Relief and Development (LIFE) and its spinoff group, called Focus on American and Arab Interests and Relations (FAAIR). He worked for LIFE from 1995-2006, the sentencing memo said, noting the organization was "created after the first Gulf War in response to the economic sanctions that the United States imposed on Iraq."

 

In addition to charitable work, the sentencing memo said, Al-Hanooti told the FBI that FAAIR was created "to lobby against the sanctions that were imposed on Iraq during the Saddam Hussein regime and to promote good relations between the U.S. and Iraq..."

Holder vs. Humanitarian Law Project

Last June the Supreme Court ruled in Holder vs. Humanitarian Law Project that limits on free speech and free association were possible if it was coordinated with helping, aiding, and supporting a designated terrorist organization.

Terror plots since 2009

Here's a screen shot I took at the beginning of Rep. Pete King's radicalization hearing this morning of the racial Islamic terror plots since 2008:

 

Imam Imad Enchassi's fatwas

I came across a website this week called Islamopedia.  It features fatwas or religious rulings of leading Islamic religous leaders, along with news and analysis. Their about page says it is institutionally supported by the Islamic Legal Studies Program at Harvard University and Johns Hopkins University among others organization listed.  This support is shocking considering what's on this website.

One such religious leader featured is Yusef Qaradawi who is often referred to as the spiritual leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.  Qaradawi, an Egyptian, lives in excile in Qatar and is banned from entering the U.S. because of his fatwas approving martyrdom to kill Israelis.  His latest two fatwas Yusuf al-Qaradawi: Injustice allows for Arab youth to revolt against their rulers and Qaradawi Permits the Assassination of Gaddafi give the go ahead for Muslim to rise up against rulers and to kill Gaddafi.  More of his fatwas are here.  Review ADL's Sheik Yusuf al-Qaradawi: Theologian of Terror.

These universities are helping a sheik strongly associated with the Muslim Brotherhood, who is banned from the U.S., gain more legitimacy it seems to me!  If you don't think Islamists have infiltrated our universities - well - I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell you.

TPD Chief Jordan reached out to CAIR's Muneer Awad with a handshake

Five short days after the Islamic Society of Tulsa hosted a dinner featuring alleged unindicted co-conspirator in the '93 WTC bombing Imam Siraj Wahhaj, members of the Tulsa Police Department attended a Law Enforcement Appreciation Day where they learned more about Islam according to a news video by Channel 2.   The local media proclaimed the day was a big success and most forgot to mention that Tulsa police captains were ordered to order some of their officers to attend the event after very few voluntary RSVPs were received.  One police captain refused to order his officers and filed suit which made quite a bit of headlines in the state in February.  Being ordered to attend an event designed primarily to teach others about Islam is worrisome.

CAIR Oklahoma urged others to call outed FBI agent!

At the end of December, CAIR Oklahoma added a note and a link on their Facebook page about an article titled Help Stop FBI Entrapment. Act Now! that was written by Meinhaj Hussain at Grandestrategy.  What you may not realize is Grandstrategy is an overtly Islamic supremacist website.
