CAIR Minnesota: Best Buy is the Platinum Sponsor for 2012 Banquet!

As you can read, a chapter of the highly controversial Islamist group CAIR posted an announcement that Best Buy was a key sponsor of their 2012 banquet on January 23rd.  But, what makes this so much worse was CAIR Minnesota's action last November, when they blasted two Muslims who spoke out about terror-recruiting that was going on in Minnesota!  Read CAIR Claims 2 Metro Somali Leaders are Anti-Muslim.  

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 protect citizens from the enforcement of any judicial ruling that could favor limits on the fudamental rights of citizens.  Representatives Mike Shelton, Cory Williams, and Emily Virgin were the state reps who voted against it.

I want to wish all my readers and their families a most wonderful Christmas - or holiday break.

ACTION: Counter CAIR Oklahoma demand "Oklahoman" letter-to-editor be removed!

CAIR Oklahoma, a chapter of unidicted Hamas terror-funding co-conspirator CAIR National, posted on Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/pages/CAIR-Oklahoma/44660013720?v=wall&filter=1#!/permalink.php?story_fbid=164091173632429&id=44660013720) today a plea for its supporters to demand a letter-to-the-editor that was critical of sharia law be removed published by the Oklahoman:

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

Here is the judge's order:

ACTION: CAIR goes after Rev. Franklin Graham again!

CAIR, an organization formed by the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure here, has issued a third press release about Rev. Franklin Graham and the National Day of Prayer.  The first two were related to his honorary chairmanship of the Pentagon's National Day of Prayer event where he was to speak.  After Military Religious Freedom Foundation issued a demand letter and CAIR issued an Action Alert to disinvite him, Graham was uninvited.

Yesterday, CAIR started a new effort to get Rev. Graham disinvited from speaking at Capitol Hill's National Day of Prayer for committing the sin of criticizing Islam which is forbidden to do under Islamic law. 

We cannot allow Islamic law to dictate how we can speak in America!

Not only should we be outraged,  but we should take action.  Call Congress and express your concern how a highly controversial Islamic organization wants to impose their will on free speech!  Demand Rev. Graham be allowed to speak at the Capitol Hill's National Day of Prayer event.

Call the Capitol Hill switchboard (202) 224-3121 and ask to speak to your representative and/or Senator and express very politely that you stand with Rev. Franklin Graham and his right to speak at their event and are highly concerned that a group like CAIR with its worrisome and documented history is trying to impose its will against Christians.

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.

The Oklahoma Senate Judiciary Committee:

 

---

Senator Patrick Anderson - Chair  (R)  (405) 521-5630
Senator Susan Paddack - Vice Chair  Democrat  (405) 521-5541
Senator Kenneth Corn  (D) listed on CAIR's email as attending their banquet (405) 521-5576
Senator Brian Crain  (R)     (405) 521-5620
Senator Charlie Laster  (D)    (405) 521-5539
Senator Dan Newberry  (R)    (405)521-5600
Senator Anthony Sykes   (R)  (405) 521-5569

 

Update 3/30/10 3:18 PM CT:  HJR 1056 was passed out of the committee!  The next step is for it to be scheduled for a vote of the full Senate.  Deadline April 22nd.

 

Update 5/3/10 12:51 PM CT:   HJR 1056 passed the Senate 40-5 but an amendment was added that was rejected when it was sent back to the house.  Now, it goes to a conference committee. 

"...Senator Sykes

moved to amend HJR 1056 (see page 18 of this Senate summary) by striking the resolving clause, which amendment was declared adopted..."

Nay: Adelson, Eason McIntyre, Johnson (C), Rice and Wilson

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 Charlie Laster  (D)
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!

ACTION: CAIR pressures university over arrested students

CAIR, an organization which grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America, has issued a press release regarding the eleven Muslims college students were arrested Tuesday during a talk given by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren at the University of California Irvine:

The Greater Los Angeles Area office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-LA) and the Los Angeles office of the National Lawyers Guild (NLG-LA) on Friday sent a letter to University of California, Irvine (UCI) Chancellor Michael V. Drake urging him to drop charges against 11 students who peacefully protested at a UCI-sponsored event. A letter was also sent today to the Orange County District Attorney's office by CAIR-LA.

"...The selective application of laws by off-campus law enforcement agencies to students engaged in constitutionally-protected political speech will be viewed by the American Muslim community and those who value free speech as an attempt to repress legitimate student protest and will undermine this important First Amendment Right."

In their press release CAIR claimed these students merely spoke out and peacefully protested.  Watch the video and see for yourself.  

CAIR claims this was their free speech right. 

But, what's good for Muslims is not good for other Americans since CAIR will go after and pressure American officials if they use free speech to speak about the Christian majority in America, as in the case of Mayor Parris of Lancaster, CA. or who criticize radical Islam (see here, here and here for examples.  Remember,  CAIR's roots are born from an Islamic supremacist organization that is banned in Egypt.  Their beginnings are defined in  In U.S. vs. Sabri Benkahla,  On page 58, at the bottom, they are described as founded by leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood who conspired to deceive the public about their connection to terrorists.

We can only hope UCI's Chancellor Drake will not cave-in to this two-faced Islamist organization. 

Consider sending a a short email to Chancellor Drake and the Dean of Students to support appropriate disciplinary action with the eleven who were arrested because of their hateful, divisive and intolerant behavior towards an invited guest speaker at the university.

This has got to stop.

Action: CAIR Oklahoma selects anti-Israel speaker to head banquet!

Anna Baltzer will be the keynote speaker at CAIR Oklahoma's annual banquet on March 20th at the National Cowboy & Western Heritage Museum in Oklahoma City.  Baltzer claims to be a Jewish American but in reality she is a mouthpiece for anti-Israeli Islamists, it seems to me.

China applies pressure to U.S. - stop buying their goods!

Communist China is quite miffed at the United States for providing arms to Taiwan and for the first time ever they are threatening to apply  pressure with sanctions against the U.S. companies involved.  They also claimed the U.S. actions will reduce international cooperation.

I say boycott Chinese made goods!

Oklahomans Against CAIR Hate protest CAIR Oklahoma Saturday

A press release was issued today by a Oklahoma group recently formed to educate the public about CAIR Oklahoma.  Their first event is to protest CAIR Oklahoma this Saturday at OU:

ACTION: Attend CAIR-OK meeting on airport profiling in Moore, Oklahoma tonight!

CAIR-OK will hold a "Town Hall" meeting to push their anti-airport profiling agenda tonight in Moore, Oklahoma at Melody Hall, 2280 North Broadway St. Moore, OK 73160, at 7 PM.

5th District Congressional candidate,  Kevin Calvey, jumped all over this Islamist organization's attempt to get support to dilute our airports anti-terror security measures with the help of any many libs as they can get on their side.  Calvey called for a civil protest at the meeting.  He urged protesters to arrive early to let their view been known on terrorism since CAIR doesn't seem to get it.  CAIR actually claims our security procedures hands a victory to terrorists!  No CAIR, it will make it harder for them to kill us.  Duh!

Razi Hashmi claims in his press release how important it was for Oklahomans to know about one of the fastest growing civil rights groups in the Oklahoma City metro area that is serving the needs of the Muslim and greater community alike.  Oh, please.  Are your full of yourself much?

Hashmi shilled for Hamas in print last January and the protest/rally he put together for Gaza in Oklahoma City clearly was against Israel since many of the signs were quite offensive.   His blog posts are typical for CAIR.  Hashmi even had the nerve to tell U.S. Rep. Mary Fallen she should keep her opinions about Israel to herself!

On the other hand, Calvey was awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his service in Iraq as an army prosecutor.  He is working hard to win voter's approval for the congressional seat now held by Mary Fallen who seeks to be Oklahoma's next Governor (yes!).  Check out Calvey's position on national security here.

Not all Muslims are terrorists, of course,  but 99.999999% of all terrorists today are Muslims! 

Political correctness isn't going to cut it anymore.

Update 1/17/10:  The day before CAIR OK changed the location of their meeting to avoid protestors!  Attending the townhall with CAIR was Oklahoma ACLU Director Chuck Thornton and Rep, Shane Jett (R-Tecumseh)

Action: C-SPAN CEO to Dems: Open up health care reconciliation to public

The CEO of C-SPAN, Brian Lamb,  wrote a letter to top Congressional leaders on December 30th urging them to practice what they preach about congressional transparency as they reconcile the health care bills between the two chambers.  He urged them to allow full coverage of all session.

This was a campaign promise of Barack Obama.

Word is, though, they will fast track it behind closed doors.

ACTION:

Consider making a phone call to Democratic majority leaders Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid urging full public transparency on the reconciliation of the two health care bills. 

Also, a call to the minority leaders Rep. John Boehner and Senator Mitch McConnell, wouldn't hurt.

The main switchboard number for the Senate is (202) 224–3121. 

Individual senator's phone numbers are here

The main switchboard number for the House is (202) 225-3121.

Individual representative phone numbers are here

Action: Flood senators' phones: Vote no on healthcare!

Enough with the fuming, already!  Let's take action and do something constructive - what do you say?  Soon 60 senators will speak for 300 million Americans - the majority of whom are against the senate's healthcare reform crap.

Every American, who is against the passage of the Senate's sneaky and corrupt health care bill, should call their senator to let them know, they work for you, and tell them how you want them to vote. 

There will be a vote at 1 AM Monday morning - while you sleep, to move the bill forward

Call now!  The main switchboard number is 202 224–3121.  Just tell the operator your senator's name and they will put you through to their office but you will probably have to leave a message.  Better yet, ask to be put through to Majority Leader Senator Harry Reids' office or call directly at 202 224-3542.

Individual senator's phone numbers are here

Update 12/21/09:  The procedural vote passed at 1 AM today.  Now there will be another vote to pass the bill itself in the Senate. 

There is still time to call on the final vote!

Quote: State Senator Larry Shaw and CAIR's president called Christians extremists!

In an interview in the FayObserver posted yesterday, the president of CAIR, Larry Shaw, who is also a State Senator from North Carolina, was quoted as saying Christians were extremists:

"...You have extremists on the right," the seven-term senator said. "Christians, Ku Klux Klan, Nazis. All kinds of Islamic fanatics. All of them claim to speak for the majority, and that's unfortunate."

Shaw has been chairman of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, since March. The 15-year-old advocacy group with about 15,000 members has been the target of critics, especially since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in the U.S.

Unless Shaw was misquoted here and the paper issues a correction, or I am reading this entirely wrong which I don't think I am,  this senator owes a written apology to all Christians. He could have misspoken which requires a written clarification, as well.

 There are no global movements seeking to create a fundamentalist Christianic state in countries throughout the world.  Nor are there Christianic terrorists attackings others daily in the name of their religion. 

But there are Islamist movements. 

Daily Mail: Mattel backs exhibition of Burka Barbie

I can think of many other ways to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Barbie:

Wearing the traditional Islamic dress, the iconic doll is going undercover for a charity auction in connection with Sotheby's for Save The Children.

More than 500 Barbies went on show yesterday at the Salone dei Cinquecento, in Florence, Italy.

Makers Mattel are backing the exhibition which is the work of Italian designer Eliana Lorena.

The auction is part of Barbie celebrations for her 50th anniversary this year.

According to the Women in Islam page managed jointly by the Islamic Societies of Greater Oklahoma City and Tulsa,  the reason to cover up is to hide the shame of being a woman:  "The main purpose of covering the body is to cover the shame and other physical features so that they remain out of sight of others, to avoid drawing undue attraction, and to prevent the excitement of evil desires in others."

Shame on Mattel.  I have to take a stand on this and say I will never buy another product from this company.  There's nothing in the Quran that demands a woman cover her entire face or body - only to dress modestly.  Repressive Islamic regimes actually force women to dress in full face cover-ups.

Consider contacting Mattel and express politely how disappointed you are with their 50th anniversary decision.  Speak even louder with your pocketbook.

President Obama's Muslim advisor on show hosted by Hizb ut Tahrir - defends Sharia Law!

Not only did Dalia Mogahed (pronounced mujahid), President Obama's faith-based Muslim advisor,  participate on a British TV show, via telephone, hosted by members of the extremist Islamic supremacy group Hizb ut Tahrir, she claimed Sharia Law is misunderstood by the West and told the audience that most Muslim women she interviewed wanted it!  Mogahed also did not challenge any anti-West statements made by the HT members on the show. Nasreen Nawaz, Huzb ut Tahrir 's representative for women was also on the show.  The video of the 45 minute show is proudly posted on HT's website in the UK.  (Update the video is not at the link but is post on YouTube here) and is embedded below.

 

Additionally, and this is the real kicker, Islam Channel, the station where this show is aired, is an "Islamist" TV outlet run by CEO Mohammed Ali Harrath, a convicted terrorist who is wanted by Interpol!

Senator Max Baucus stops Humana for contacting customers!

Humana sent a letter alerting some of their customers that their Medicare Advantage program will likely face benefit cuts.  Now, we learn Senator Max Baucus ordered an investigation that, in turn,  ordered the insurer to stop.   Baucus contemptuously imposed what appears to be a gag order here.  

The letter tells beneficiaries that “millions of seniors and disabled individuals could lose many of the important benefits and services that make Medicare Advantage health plans so valuable,” according to the CMS (Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services). The letter, which was sent in an envelope that states it contains important information about beneficiaries' plans, also urges enrollees to contact their congressional representatives and protest the possible changes.

Wal-Mart and other advertisers caved to African American activist group!

Color of Change is a African American political organization.  In a press release dated September 2nd, they touted that 11 more advertisers pulled their ads from the Glenn Beck Show who was the first to bring to the light of day President Obama's Green Job Czar, Van Jones' anti-white and anti-American views, which led to his resignation over the weekend.  The Color of Change was co-founded by Van Jones, who still had Jones listed as co-founder until facts about Jones surfaced.  Then they changed his status to inactive.

The latest list of advertisers are:  Binder & Binder, Capital One, The Dannon Company, Discover, HSBC, ICAN Benefit Group Insurance, Infiniti, Jelmar (manufacturer of CLR All-Purpose Cleaner), Jordan McKenna Debt Counseling Network, Mercedes-Benz and Simplex Healthcare Airware Inc. (makers of Brez anti-snoring aids), Allergan (maker of Restasis), Ally Bank (a unit of GMAC Financial Services), Ancestry.com, Applebee’s, AT&T, Bank of America, Bell & Howell, Best Buy, Blaine Labs Inc., Broadview Security, Campbell Soup Company, ConAgra, Clorox, CVS, DirecTv, Ditech, The Elations Company, Experian (creator of FreeCreditReport.com), Farmers Insurance Group, GEICO, General Mills, Johnson & Johnson (makers of Tylenol), Kraft, Lawyers.com, Lowe’s, Men’s Wearhouse, NutriSystem, Procter & Gamble, Progressive Insurance, RadioShack, Re-Bath, Regions Financial Corporation, Roche, Sam (Store and Move), SC Johnson, Sanofi-Aventis, Sargento, Sprint, State Farm Insurance, Traveler’s Insurance, Travelocity, The UPS Store, Verizon Wireless, Vonage and Wal-Mart.

From an earlier press release, we find that the largest retailer in America responded to their call:  “Walmart [sic] today confirmed the retailer pulled ads from the Glenn Beck show on August 3^rd,” said David Tovar, a spokesperson for Wal-Mart, in an email to ColorOfChange.org."

It's ironic, isn't it,  that President Obama attended a Black Liberation Theology church which is based on an anti-white theme for twenty years!  We've also heard the hateful bellowing of his former pastor that continue to this day.  Van Jones, the co-founder of Color of Change, was a self-described black nationalist (hello? i.e., anti-white) and a communist activist and the White House actually hired him and praised him!  Therefore, I find it particularly pungent that these advertisers caved to pressure from a "African American" separatist political organization started by one of president Obama's czars who was/is as anti-White and anti-American as Rev. Wright. 

Do you see a reoccurring theme here?  Others have as in this video of Charles Krauthammer:

I, for one, will not use their products or services again until I see their ads reappear back on Beck's show.

Organize America people bused in to President Obama's townhall yesterday?

Organize America (OFA) was created by the Barack Obama administration or a vested entity to help build support the President's agenda.

Well, it appears many of these people were bused in early yesterday to stand outside Obama's townhall meeting, according to a local news report.  You can see their signs in the video.  The reporter also said the people who attended the meeting were bused in!

This is the townhall meeting where Obama misspoke and said AARP supporter the Democratic plan, which is incorrect.  He also said:

"I think private insurers should be able to compete. They do it all the time. I mean, if you think about, if you think about it, um, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. Right? The, uh, no they are. I mean, it's the post office that's always having problems."

The priviate businesses are doing fine but the government's own post office that was doing bad.  Hummm....   And he wants us to buy into one of the largest, if not the largest, expansion of government control over healthcare?

On the OFA blog supporters are being asked to visit their Congressional representative in person during August:

All throughout August, our members of Congress are back in town. Insurance companies and partisan attack groups are stirring up fear with false rumors about the President's plan, and it's extremely important that folks like you speak up now.

So we've cooked up an easy, powerful way for you to make a big impression: Office Visits for Health Reform.

All this week, OFA members like you will be stopping by local congressional offices to show our support for insurance reform. You can have a quick conversation with the local staff, tell your personal story, or even just drop off a customized flyer and say that reform matters to you.

We'll provide everything you need: the address, phone number, and open hours for the office, information about how the health care crisis affects your state for you to drop off (with the option of adding your personal story), and a step-by-step guide for your visit.

Do you see what I see?  It's OK for Obama to organize supporters but not anyone else.  It's even implied individuals acting on their own are part of a mob.

White House launches "Realty Check" website to calm fears

The White House has launched a new website called Realty Check to counter what they call is disinformation  about the 1,000+ page health insurance reform bill the administration and most of the Democratic controlled Congress want to pass. 

Time will tell if this website will be a source of totally accurate information.  Every statement, therefore, must be compared to the actual wording in the bill.  For example, on rationing a spokeswoman said "...To the contrary, reform will forbid many forms of rationing that are currently being used by insurance companies...."  Personally,  I believe some form of rationing will be inevitable.  Maybe it won't happen the first year or two but after that when the cost is significantly more than they told us it would be, it will come. 

The White House's unproven assurances should be viewed with skepticism.  We keep hearing President Obama say there will be no taxes on people making less than $200,000 but in this very bill there is a TAX on individuals who do no buy health insurance (see page 8 and 167 of the bill which is linked below).  This tax is 2.5 percent of adjusted gross income. 

There are also taxes on businesses.

Barack Obama's own words in a 2003 video said he is a proponent of a single payer (government-run) health system and so I believe this is probably the direction he wants to take our country.  Recently, he said he didn't wants the people he claimed caused all the problems to talk too much and get out of the way!   What a clever way to try to shut people up. 

In April, he questioned his own grandmother's hip replacement surgery during the final weeks of her life made him wonder about "expensive procedures for the terminally ill." 

The Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, called those who complained at townhall meetings "un-American".  

Are you getting the picture?

Today at a townhall meeting, Senator Arlin Spector said the health care bill has not been written in the senate but according to CNN a Senate Committee Approved Health Care Bill in mid-July.  There's more coverage here, as well as the press release about the Affordable Health Choices Act of 2009. So what in the heck is he talking about?

Yep, a healthy dose of skepticism is definitely in order.

A good part of the bill is about Medicare and Medicaid and training healthcare providers.

Al Qaeda post video on YouTube urging jihadists to fight Americans!

YouTube has allowed, once again,  Al-Qaeda to post their videos urging jihadists to fight against American Crusaders interference in Pakistan.  The latest video from Ayman al Zawahiri was posted yesterday to the YouTube channel  Ummah Media, which was created in April of 2007.  The news media will tell you this video was posted to a jihadist website as if they are providing you information you would not otherhwise know since most Americans do not visit jihadist websites, but I have learned I can find them easily on YouTube.

Three days ago, Al Qaeda posted a 3-part video from Osama bin Laden on this channel!  The English translations of bin Laden's Arabic audio/video is conveniently available at theWordPress blog of UmmanMedia (i.e, al Qaeda).   As far as I can tell, no news source has covered bin Laden's latest audio.  A very small excerpt of his diatribe:

"...The trial and test we are facing in this present time is the wars being led by the Zionist-Christian alliance and their apostate aides against our Ummah...Whoever is pleased with Islam as a religion, it is obligatory upon him to physically reject Zardari and his army’s war against the Shariah...O slave of Allah, what will you say to Allah tomorrow if you side with those who fight in order to prevent the establishment of the religion of Allah, those who fight for the sake of false deities and ways, aiding them with your weapons or your speech, justifying their actions, throwing the same accusations at the Mujahidoon as the leader of the White House, that they are devastators and terrorists?..."

Hello, is anyone paying attention here?  Consider contacting YouTube and/or Google corporate office regarding this serious situation.

Update 7/17/09:   This channel or someone has remove the video of Ayman al Zawahiri but bin Laden's videos remain.

Update 3/18/10:  I am pleased to announce this channel has been removed from YouTube!

Action: Hizb ut-Tahrir America plans 1st Khilafah Conference!

The 4th of July symbolizes the many freedoms we enjoy in America.  It's a day millions of Americans proudly display the American flag on their home to help celebrate what makes our country the best place in the world to live.

But, there are organizations in America that do not share this view.  For example, the Islamic Society of North America usually picks this weekend for their annual conference rather than stay at home to celebrate this holiday with their neighbors.  ISNA was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas terror-funding trial because of their relationship to or with the Muslim Brotherhood. Board member, Jamal Badawi, is a Muslim Brotherhood leader who approves of martyrdom, if that helps.   

Another example is Hizb ut-Tahrir.  This is an Islamist organization which has emerged fully in the United States since the election of President Barack Obama.  Under President Bush, they operated primarily in the shadows and behind closed doors covertly.

July 19th is the day HT plans to have their first Khilafah Conference in Oak Lawn, Illinois!  It encapsulates the full capacity of the literal interpretation of the Quran. Their slick ominous video titled "Fall of Capitalism and Rise of Islam" advertises their conference (see video below).  The goal of this global Islamist organization is to restore an Islamic State. On their American website they claim their goal in America is to only spread the message of Islam and do not seek to overthrow the government.  Do not believe them.  Khilafah means Islamic rule and Islamic supremacy and is in the title of their 1st American conference.

A local Islamic school, Agsa School,  in Bridgeview, Illinois was to host the conference in their facility but backed out according to CBS News.  HT website now states they still plan to go ahead with their anti-American, anti-capitalism, Islamic supremacy conference but at the Hilton Oak Lawn hotel, instead.

This group is banned in Pakistan yet now operates openly in the U.S.!

Seriously, this conference should be stopped. 

Action:  Please call and ask to speak to the manager at the Hilton to express your concern that an extremist Islamic organization plans to hold their conference at their hotel in their hotel on the 19th of July from 11 to 5.

Abdul-Adil is perhaps the most charismatic of the identified members of HTA. He has spoken at major HT conferences in Britain, and was featured in a July 2007 video produced by members of HT Britain to promote their 2007 Khilafah Conference, making Abdul-Adil the first representative of HTA to be publicly identified as such [10].

ActIon Alert: Cap and Trade Bill to be voted in U.S. House on Friday

The Cap and Trade bill, otherwise known as the "climate change" bill or the Waxman-Markey bill  or H.R. 2454,  will likely to come to a vote on Friday in the House of Representatives.  There are worrisome indications the bill has been altered and amendments added without proper debate.

This bill will increase your utility bills as these companies pass along the increase cost to meet the demands required in the bill.  There may be other fees and taxes that might be inserted in the bill before the end of the week.  The Congressional Budget Office estimates you will pay around $175 per household in 2020 for utilities.  Other critics argue it will cost far more.  For example, the Heritage Foundation claims their estimate is far too low and estumates it will cost your family an additional $1,500 a year. 

Unfortunately, I cannot find a source yet that has tracked the accuracy of CBO's cost estimates.  This is a service which is very much needed.

According to Open Congress:

"...This is a huge bill that, if passed, will have major and lasting effect on our environment and economy. Needless to say, it’s important that the House develops and debates this bill in a way that is transparent and gives the public (and lawmakers) enough time to understand the changes that are being made to it. Paul Blumenthal is rightly concerned about the sudden changes in the bill just before it goes to the House floor.

***Contact Congress to defeat this bill!***

Government Spending Watchdog Calls For Defeat Of Energy Bill

In a statement released to the media, The Council for Citizens Against Government Waste, or CCAGW, stated that its members sent more than "20,500 strongly-worded e-mails urging members of Congress to defeat the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009."

The message sent to members of Congress claims that the act will "place severe regulatory burdens on domestic industry" and raise the prices consumers pay for electricity, natural gas, and other products that use fossil fuels.

Al-Qaeda post new Adam Gadahn videos on YouTube!

YouTube is again facilitating our enemies to conspire against us.  In four high definition videos posted yesterday al-Qaeda's Adam Gadahn, with a longer bread now, spews Al-Qaeda's agenda against the Jews and the West.  But you probably would not know how Al-Qaeda is using YouTube against us from poor media coverage.  You may have heard that it was found on a jihadist website or something like.  As-Sahab Foundation for Media Production, the media arm of Al-Qaeda did the videos.

Gadahn affirmed to Muslims the honor of their greatness is their Islam.  Jihad against the Jews and their allies continues.  Gadahn spoke of his grandfather who he said was a Zionist.  In the Ummah of Islam we have seen the truth about Obama, he goes on. He then encourages Palestinians to continue their jihad against the Zio-Crusaders assault on Muslim land.  Obama is led by the Jews and Zionized Christians, he rants.  Zio-Crusaders are fair target everywhere and he urged jihadists to  strike whenever possible

Seeing the masked martyrs saying goodbye to their families on TV brought Gadahn to Islam and this will bring other people to Islam, too, he said.

In the 3rd video, he spoke of the martyred Sheik Abdullah Azzam as a great leader who, by the way, spoke in Oklahoma to area Muslims before his assassination.  Assam was the mentor to Osama bin Laden.   Victory is only through the march of armies, Gadahan continues. 

All 4 videos are posted on several YouTube channel; sheikh3zaam's channel, yamane90's channel, Omar's channel.

Consider flagging these videos as inappropriate.

New al-Qaeda channel on YouTube!

Once again a new jihadist channel has been created on YouTube.  This one appears to specialize in al-Qaeda produced videos.  So far 39 videos have been uploaded.  They have English subtitles so al-Qaeda sympathizers and operatives, who speak and read English, can understand their goals.

My God, can the civilized world not shut down the media arm of Al-Qaeda?

The last video uploaded about an hour ago as of this writing has Al Zawhari and Bin Laden in it.  it claims those who take Americans as protectors have broken the rule laid down in the Quran:

I will add this channel to the growing list of jihadist channels and videos on YouTube which you can review here.

Action Alert America: Contact News Corp and Fox on employee Janeane Garofalo

Janeane Garofalo, whom I consider a little known actress, went on the Keith Olbermann show, which is on MSNBC, on April 16th following the hundreds of tea parties held across the nation.  Garofalo called tea party attendees "a bunch of teabagging rednecks!  She added those who attended actually hated a black man in the White House.

Ms. Garofalo is an employee of Fox Broadcasting and appears on the TV show 24.

Let's take action about her disgusting tirade by not stooping to the level of the usual left-wing name-calling smear, but instead contact News Corp and Fox Broadcasting Company to express your disgust in a polite manner concerning the hate-mongering of one of their employees:

Janeane Garofalo calls Tea Party attendees racist and tea banging rednecks!

Janeane Garofalo, a little known actress and comedian, who believes she is far superior anf smarter than anyone who is conservative, rips into the most disturbing and offensive rant about Americans who attended the Tea Party protests held across American last Wednesday.  Keith Olberman was just as pitiful and clearly doesn't speak well for MSNBC. 

Garofalo who has/had a role in Fox's show 24, no doubt, offended half its audience.  This is a woman without a college degree who, ironically,  has a tatoo on her arm that reads "think".

I "think" I will never watch anything she is in again.  No, no  scratch that, I know I will never watch any show or movie she has a part.

This helps explain why MSNBC does poorly in ratings, don't you think?

Update 7/20/09:  Janeane Garofalo claims the media in the U.S. is much more to the right!

Another Al-Qaeda jihadist channel created yesterday on YouTube!

A new jihadist channel was created on YouTube called AsSahabM yesterday. Six videos were uploaded within the last hour.  The first states the following in the introduction:

"Interview conducted by AsSahab media foundation of AlQaeda Jihad organization; Mulla Nadhir Ahmed answers questions and mujaheden in general, allegations by Pakistan against them ..."

 

Their combative jihad against America is mentioned within most of these videos, including the following video featuring American traitor Adam Gadahn:

 

Any help to flag all these jihadist videos and/or alert the media to expose this insanity would be so appreciated.

 

I'll add this channel to the growing  list of other jihadists channels available on YouTube which are listed in my previous action alert below. One has been available since 2006! This is a clear threat to our national security and YouTube knows some of these videos are there because of the age-warning alert you get if you are not logged into your account:

Action Alert America: Islamic Revolution TV channel on YouTube - features American jihadist!

 

Screen shot:  American jihadist Abu Mansur al-Amriki

There's a new channel on YouTube called Islamic Revolution TV which was created April 1st.  There are four videos posted, three within the last hour or so and more will likely be uploaded.

An American, Abu Mansur al-Amriki, is recruiting new jihadists to come to Somalia. Obviously, he is trying to ge them to come from America and other English speaking countries. 

In one of the three videos,  al-Amriki, speaks about their work for the Shabaab al Mujahideen, which is affiliated with Al-Qaeda.  The link to the video is here (it is not gory - lots of gunfire near the end).  After the "attack", this man talks about someone who died as a martyr and then asks for people to send their children for the jihad.  It's sick to the core. 

YouTube is obviously aware of it since you have to sign in to your account and agree you are of age to watch it. The logo of the Islamic Revolution Channel is above.

Fox News first reported yesterday about this video which was found on a Jihadist website:

"A video posted on a jihadist Web site could help the FBI determine how a group of Somali-Americans was recruited to join an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group in Somalia.

For several months the FBI has been investigating at least 20 Somali-American men from the Minneapolis area and elsewhere in the United States who traveled to war-torn Somalia to join an Al Qaeda-linked terrorist group known as al-Shabaab, which has been warring with the moderate Somali government since 2006.

...MEMRI identified "The American" as Abu Mansur al-Amriki, and a law enforcement official said he is originally from the United States, but has been in Somalia "for some time..."

But now, it's on YouTube! 

If you search on YouTube for any videos using this jihadist group's name a number of videos come up.  They should all be flagged by us as inappropriate. 

A recent comment on one of these videos shows you these videos are being watched by Islamists and or jihadists:

ALLAHU AKBAR. VICTORY TO ISLAM.
Death to all kufars(disbeliever) en monafiqs(hypocrites)
no kaffer or monafiq is innocent.
mujahid dos not fight for fame or many if you think otherwise you are blind or deaf.
yo kafers en munafiqs go enjoin bit on till mujahid comes en kills you like rats.
cause we are coming.

 

This search also pulled up recent videos by Bin Laden calling for more jihadists to come to Somalia, as well.  I personally flagged this video when it first came out and it is still on there.  Likewise, if you search for vidoes using the word mujideen, you get page after page of jihadist videos. 

 

YouTube is an American company posting videos of our enemy and it should outrage you.

 

For the love of God, my fellow Americans, these Jihadists must be stopped from recruiting on YouTube!

 

 Flag all these videos as Dangerous Illegal Acts, ASAP.  If they stay up it would appear YouTube will be violating their own guidelines by not removing them.

 

You may also want to write or call YouTube (be polite, as I know you will).  The address of YouTube Corporate Headquarters is below:

YouTube Community Guidelines:

Dangerous Illegal Acts

While it might not seem fair to say you can’t show something because of what viewers theoretically might do in response, we draw the line at content that’s intended to incite violence or encourage dangerous, illegal activities that have an inherent risk of serious physical harm or death. This means not posting videos on things like instructional bomb making, ninja assassin training, sniper attacks, videos that train terrorists, or tips on illegal street racing. Any depictions like these should be educational or documentary and shouldn’t be designed to help or encourage others to imitate them.

Action Alert America! Support OK HB 1645 ban on headcoverings for driver license ID photos

An Oklahoma bill to ban all headcoverings for driver's license photo IDs has been assigned to the transportation committee in the Oklahoma Senate.  Earlier, the bill passed overwhelmingly in the Oklahoma House of Representatives.

Now, three very controversial national Islamic organizations; the Islamic Society of North America, CAIR and the Islamic Circle of North American have asked Muslims and their partners on the left, across the nation, to call, write and e-mail the senators on this committee in order to prevent this bill's passage out of the committee.  Additionally, the Islamic Human Rights Commission, an NGO with Special Consultative Status at the U.N., has also gotten involved!  See my previous post on this here.

We need to pull together to counter their unfair political pressure!  Although the agenda for the committee meeting tomorow doesn't list this bill, your help is  needed to encourage your support for this bill.  The chair, at his discretion and judgment, could let the bill die without bringing it up for a vote in the committee and this is what we don't want to happen.

Razi Hashmi's Action Alert for Oklahoma Muslims

Oklahomans may be interest in what I found on the blog of CAIR-OK Director and Hamas shill, Razi Hashmi:

"The Oklahoma chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-OK) and the American Civil Liberties Union in Oklahoma (ACLU of OK) today called on Oklahomans who are concerned with constitutionally-protected religious freedoms to contact their state senators about proposed legislation that would ban religious headwear in driver’s license and other identification card photos.

...IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED: (As always be POLITE and RESPECTFUL)

1. CONTACT YOUR STATE SENATORS and urge him or her to ensure that religious freedoms continue to be protected by the U.S. Constitution. This will ensure that Americans do not view Oklahomans as divisive and opposed to interfaith dialogue and the many contributions by its diverse citizens. Contact Your Elected Officials:

Call the Oklahoma State Capitol switchboard at 405-521-3356 and ask for your representatives’ office.

2. CONTACT the Transportation Committee Chairman, to ensure that the Oklahomans’ First Amendment Rights of religious freedoms are protected. (Find Suggested Talking Points Below).
Copy to: info@ok.cair.com and acluok@acluok.org

Senator Cliff Branan (R-40) Phone: 405-521-5543, E-Mail: branan@oksenate.gov

Sample Talking Points:

- All Oklahomans should be concerned when there is a chance for violations of any religious liberty.
- If the purpose for such a bill is to clearly identify an individual, then one should be photographed wearing what one would wear every day regardless if it is headwear or glasses.
- The Department of Public Safety already has a policy for religious exemptions on headgear, and this bill is unnecessary.
- Oklahomans should not tolerate such blatant attacks on minority faiths.
- Ensure all Oklahomans’ First Amendment Rights are protected. Urge your State Senator to vote No on HB 1645. Request a religious and medical exemption to the bill.

3. CONTACT Oklahoma State Senators from the Transportation Committee to inform them about the HB 1645.

Oklahoma Assistant Attorney General, William O'Brien, shills for CAIR!

For the third time now, William F. O'Brien has written a puff piece about CAIR Oklahoma in the Edmond Sun.  The Sun is located in Edmond, a suburb of Oklahoma City, for the non-Okies who read this post.  The Sun states O'Brien is part of their editorial board. 

But there's more, O'Brien is also an Assistant Attorney General for the state of Oklahoma which I had suspected for a few months and verified this week with the Edmond Sun!  Why doesn't this paper simply provide full disclosure to its readers instead of just stating he is an attorney in Oklahoma City?

O'Brien's latest puffery for CAIR is an March 2nd article which starts off with a quote from the Hadith President Obama used at the National Prayer Breakfast in early February:

“None of you truly believe,” the Prophet Mohammad told his followers, “Until he wishes for his brother what he wishes for himself.”

This was used by the president to show that the concept of "the golden rule" exists with all great religions.  The only problem here is this concept is actually NOT in the Quran, the primary source of Islam but rather can only be found two times in the volumes of secondary sources called the hadiths (the sayings and deeds of their prophet).

O'Brien's article goes on to discuss CAIR OK's director and Hamas shill Razi Hashmi who went to the inauguration along with Sheryl Siddiqui, a CAIR Oklahoma board member.  

It's absolutely outrageous for an Assistant Attorney General to publicly shill for such a controversial organization that grew out of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America.  CAIR was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror funding case where millions of dollars were funneled to the terrorist group Hamas, as a result. 

The FBI recently severed ties with CAIR, specifically naming CAIR OK in a letter that was sent out by the FBI in Oklahoma City.

This is beyond disturbing.

ACTION ALERT:  Contact the Oklahoma Attorney General Office, ask for Drew Edmondson, the Attorney General's office and express your outrage very politely that William O'Brien publicly promotes a very controversial Islamic organization which does not reflect well for this governmental organization entrusted to protect the public good.

Safety first: Put your car keys by your bed!

I got this in an email. Thanks BW:

Put your car keys beside your bed  at night. If you hear a noise outside your home or someone is trying to get in your house, just press the panic button for your car. The alarm will be set off, and the horn will continue to  sound until either you turn it off or the car battery dies. This tip came from a  neighborhood watch coordinator.

So the next time you  come home for the night and you start to put your keys away, think of this:

It's a  security alarm system that you probably already have and requires no installation. Test it. It will go off from most everywhere inside your  house and will keep honking until your battery  runs down or until you reset it with the button  on the key fob chain. It works if you park in your driveway or garage If your car alarm goes off when someone is trying to break into your  house, odds are the burglar rapist won't stick  around... After a few seconds all the neighbors  will be looking out their windows to see who is  out there and sure enough the criminal won't  want that.

And remember to carry your keys while walking to your car in a parking lot. The alarm can work the same way ...

This is should be shared with everyone.  Maybe it could save a life or a  sexual abuse crime.

And it's soooooooooo simple.

Lee Vang, who teaches eighth grade English at Hazel Park Middle School, sent an e-mail to other district workers last week that carried the subject line, "Holocaust Simulation -- Live out your dreams!"

The event has students wear yellow stars, as Jews were forced to do in Nazi Germany during World War II. The lesson requires parental approval to participate.

The e-mail goes on to say it will be "sheer pleasure for the staff being themselves as Nazi Officers and becoming Adolfs."

The e-mail ends: "Any more ideas? Think of your most favorite student and what you'd like to do and I'll do it to these students for you. Ha!"

District spokesman Howie Padilla said the tone of the e-mail was "totally inappropriate" and action would be taken. He wouldn't comment on specific discipline for Vang, however.  Kare11 NBC

Elementary school in Canada bans national anthem to accomodate two families

Want to venture a guess as to what parents objected to the daily singing of the Canadian National Anthem at an elementary school in New Brunswick?  

But we shouldn't overlook the fact that the principal of the school, Erik Millett, is a Green Party member.

"Every time Susan Boyd hears the Canadian national anthem, she thinks of her nephew, Pte. David Greenslade of Saint John, who was killed two years ago in Afghanistan.

And it devastates her that her youngest daughter doesn't start each morning at Belleisle Elementary School paying tribute to her home and native land.

The school eliminated the morning ritual in September 2007 after complaints by two families who took issue with the anthem.

Erik Millett is principal of the small school of 214 students in Springfield, west of Sussex, and has heard from only a few people who oppose the decision to drop the anthem..."  times&transript

Feel free to contact the principal and politely express your views about his ridiculous decision to accomodate two families over a long-standing tradition: erik.millett@nbed.nb.ca

ALERT: Speak up to show your support for Israel

As everyone know thousands of Muslims are protesting against Israel.  Americans, who support Israel's right to defend itself, and its right to exist, need to speak up by the millions! 

Think about donating your Facebook status to show the daily Qassam rockets count that are fired into Israel as a way to show you support for Israel.

Below are some helpful numbers:

CAIR and other Islamic organizations blast Israel

The American Muslim Taskforce (AMT) held a press conference today at the National Press Club.  They are all up in arms over Israel defending itself against the Hamas rockets that have been bombarding them for two weeks.  Previously, AMT announced they would release an open letter to president-elect Barak Obama outlining suggested Muslim domestic and foreign policy priorities for the new administration at the conference but that didn't happen as they said it would.

This task force is an umbrella organization representing American Muslim Alliance (AMA), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), Muslim Alliance of North America (MANA), Muslim American Society (MAS), Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC), Muslim Student Association - National (MSA-N), Project Islamic Hope (PIH), and United Muslims of America (UMA).  

Most of these organizations are the outgrowth of the Muslim Brotherhood/Hamas infrastructure in America.  Just so we are clear here, the Muslim Brotherhood supports Hamas who, in turn,  seeks the destruction of Israel.

These organizations are strongly requesting Muslims make their voices heard by contacting their elected officials, the media, the Internet social networks to, in essence, shame Israel.

In a video of a portion of the press conference we see CAIR's, Nihad Awad, blame Israel and side with Hamas through its support of the Palestinians.  Hamas is a U.S. designated terrorist organization!

Nihad Adwad demanded the U.S. government end the immoral and illegal actions against Gaza.  Not once did he mention Hamas who is in control of Gaza.

Americans, who support Israel's right to defend itself, need to speak up by the millions. 

That old saying, the squeaky wheel gets greased,  applies here.

Senators Feinstein and Craig add amnesty legislation to Iraq war spending bill!

In an underhanded and deceitful move, an amnesty bill was added to the Iraq War spending bill in the Senate Appropriation Committee.  The amendment was approved by a 17-12 vote.  The Ag-Jobs amendment, was sponsored by Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) and Larry Craig (remember the bathroom incident?) (R-Idaho):

There is an unwritten rule in Congress that the appropriations process should not be used to pass major legislation. So when the Senate Appropriations Committee makes an exception to this rule, you can bet that they are doing so only to deal with some burning crisis.

...What were the compelling interests that led the Senate Appropriations Committee to include major legislation as part of the military spending bill on Thursday? Amnesty for illegal aliens, and lots of new foreign workers for powerful business interests.

In one afternoon, the Appropriations Committee approved amnesty for 1.35 million illegal alien agricultural workers, and made available an additional 650,000 skilled and unskilled foreign guest workers over the next three years. That’s 2 million new, or newly legalized, foreign workers entering our labor force over the next three years – even as our economy has been losing jobs.

The 2 million figure does not include the dependents of the amnesty recipients or new workers who could be admitted under existing agricultural guest worker programs. Townhall

Outraged by this tactic and abuse of the legislative process?  Let your U.S. Senators know asap.

U.S. Chamber of Commerce sues the state of Oklahoma

What can you say about a national organization like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce who sides with illegal foreign nationals against a state?  This is exactly what happened in Oklahoma Friday when a third lawsuit, in as many court jurisdictions, was filed against the state of Oklahoma and its citizen-supported anti-illegal foreign national law, HB 1804.

How dare this national organization, who clearly favors slave labor, sue Oklahoma and its citizens!

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has joined forces with the Oklahoma City and Tulsa chambers to sue the state over its immigration reform law.

The U.S. Chamber filed for an injunction Friday in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Oklahoma.

The lawsuit targets specific aspects of House Bill 1804. Among other things, the new law creates state barriers to hiring illegal immigrants, requires proof of citizenship to receive certain government benefits and makes it illegal to knowingly transport illegal immigrants.

Through the injunction, the U.S. Chamber is seeking to stop the implementation of two sections of the measure.

The lawsuit challenges a requirement that employers doing business with the state use the federal government's voluntary experimental program for verifying work eligibility.

It also challenges require ments for businesses to verify the work authorization status of individual independent contractors to avoid state tax penalties.

Britain will no longer use the terms "war on terror" or "Islamic terrorist"

Government officials in Britain will no longer refer to Islamic attacks that have occurred since 9/11 as part of the "war on terror" but rather they will consider them simply aimless "death cults".  Nor will British officials use the term "Islamic terrorist".  Why?  Because Britain doesn't want to link Islamic terror to the religion of Islam. 

An Islamic terrorist is one because of Islam and its teachings, right?  And there appears to be a never-ending supply of them, which should be getting your attention.  Millions of children in a number of Islamic countries are being raised to hate the West and Israel and to believe their mission in life is to die for their religion.  This is a serious and it cannot be dismissed.

Excuse me, Britain, but isn't this "burying your head in the sand tactic" just what the enemy wants?  How can you deny, that in many of the written and spoken announcements from Islamists, they state the West is their enemy and that Islam is their guide?  Funding comes directly from Islamic governments to aid Islamists, in many instances.

Prime Minister Gordon Brown said following the assassination of Bhutto. "...We must take immediate action and we will give [Pakistan] whatever help we can. This deadly attack is a potent reminder of the threat we face from terror."   

What kind of terror do we face, Mr. Brown?  What kind? 

According to your government, the threat we face are just simply members of an aimless "death cult".

Time will tell if this decision was a wise one.   

The words "war on terror" will no longer be used by the British government to describe attacks on the public, the country's chief prosecutor said Dec. 27.

Sir Ken Macdonald said terrorist fanatics were not soldiers fighting a war but simply members of an aimless "death cult."

The Director of Public Prosecutions said: 'We resist the language of warfare, and I think the government has moved on this. It no longer uses this sort of language."

London is not a battlefield, he said.

"The people who were murdered on July 7 were not the victims of war. The men who killed them were not soldiers," Macdonald said. "They were fantasists, narcissists, murderers and criminals and need to be responded to in that way."

His remarks signal a change in emphasis across Whitehall, where the "war on terror" language has officially been ditched.

Officials were concerned it could act as a recruiting tool for Al Qaeda, which is determined to manufacture a battle between Islam and the West.

The term "Islamic terrorist" will also no longer be used. Officials believe it is unhelpful because it appears to directly link the religion to terrorist atrocities."

ACTION:  If you are a British citizen, it is urgent you sign the e-petition that will go to Prime Minister Brown which states: 

"We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Not be afraid to use the word Islamic when it comes to terrorism if appropriate."

Dont say "Merry Christmas" per directive from Southwestern Oklahoma State University

I read on Bateslines this evening one university in Oklahoma has asked its employees to stop saying Merry Christmas!  Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford instructed their employees to stop using the word Christmas or Christ which has, understandably, caused quite a stir.  After looking into this a little further at various Internet news sites that are reporting on this, here's the short version:

In was first reported today by the Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing religious freedom, that the university was following the advice of Oklahoma State Attorney General Drew Edmondson when they instructed their employees to refrain from the use of the word Christmas.  The University's Director of Human Resources visited various departments and said that decorations featuring the word "Christ" or Christmas" in any area of the University must be immediately removed, according to Liberty Counsel.

Liberty Counsel sent a letter demanding this action be stopped after receiving a complaint from a university affiliate.  It's against the law for the government to be hostile to any religion and Liberty believes the university violated the constitution and the Civil Rights Act with their actions.

An updated alert by Liberty stated:

..."Earlier today we informed you in a Liberty Alert about a ban on the word "Christmas" by Southwestern Oklahoma State University in Weatherford.---When public officials start to feel the heat of public scrutiny, they often try to make excuses or deny that events took place. Some staff members who are answering the phone are even telling people that the incidents we are reporting never happened!

...After Weatherford City Commissioner Warren Goldmann heard from a constituent that the word "Christmas" was banned by the university, Goldmann contacted the Provost of the university, Dr. Blake Sonove, who confirmed the "Christmas" ban policy and indicated that the university was relying on an opinion from Attorney General Drew Edmonson (who denies ever giving such an opinion). Commissioner Goldmann then reported the information to Liberty Counsel.

Connie Phillips, an Admissions Coordinator, reported that David Misak, Director of Human Resources, entered the registrar’s office with Tom Fagan, Vice President of Finance. They ordered the words "Christ" and "Christmas" covered up in decorations and instructed that there could be no use of "Merry Christmas" in emails!

A records coordinator verified that her department was told they could not use "Christmas" in email or voice mail..."

Drew Edmondson issue a press release stating it wasn't him who advised the university.  I wonder how his name got dragged into this whole thing in the first place? 

Adding a touch of humor, he wrote:

..."The attorney general also had a message for the original circulators of the grinchly tale.

“The folks at the Liberty Counsel will find lumps of coal in their stockings on Christmas morning,” Edmondson said. “That’s what Santa leaves for bad kids who tell lies.”

The university issued a statement saying they didn't ban Christmas (as if they could) but they didn't deny they instructed their employees to stop using the word Christmas: 

December 20, 2007

An attempt to be respectful of the diverse religious population at Southwestern Oklahoma State University has been misinterpreted as an attempt to ban Christmas on the Weatherford campus.

The rumor of this ban is not true.

The university attempted to prevent the appearance as a state agency of endorsing any particular religion.

John Hays
SWOSU President

It was also reported the university removed the words "Merry Christmas" from their website, which is not there now, if it ever was.

This just blows my mind.  80 to 85% of the people in this country are Christians!  Isn't America the country where religious freedom is one of our strengths? 

I wonder what triggered the university to do what they did?  Did one person's complaint cause all this to happen?

You may want to let the university know how you feel about their ban on saying or writing Christmas or Christ:

Weatherford, OK 73096

General Phone: (580) 772-6611    Fax: (580) 774-3795

Please be polite

UPDATE 12/21/07:  In the Tulsa World damage control by the university was in full force.  The headline states the university denied they banned the use of the word Christmas, at all, and said the following.

..."Brian Adler, director of public relations at Southwestern Oklahoma State University, said Thursday that the information was false and that there is no ban on Christmas at the school.

Faculty and staff members also can decorate their offices however they want, he said, although someone did question a "Merry Christmas" sign in a public area.

The issue "has been resolved, and it's fine," Adler said. "We're going to have a merry Christmas here."

Update 12/21/07:  The President of SWOSU has issued another update:

...some supervisors or department leaders within the university who meant well may have suggested to employees that caution should be taken with respect to Christmas decorations. One thing led to another and the result was that some mistakenly assumed that Christmas decorations were being prohibited.

Update 12/21/07:  Liberty Counsel press release

Boycott advertisers who have pulled their ads from Savage Nation

Advertisers who have pulled their ads from the Michael Savage radio show, The Savage Nation, as a result of a campaign against his statements about his views on Islam, has grown to include Universal Orlando Resorts, AutoZone, Citrix, TrustedID, JCPenney, OfficeMax, Wal-Mart, and AT&T.

Savage's statements were not kind about the religion of Islam but, I believe, were heart felt as of the violence that occurs on a daily basis from followers of the religion of peace that we hear about on the news nightly.    For an Islamic organization, the Council of American Relations,  with a proven history of their alignment with HAMAS and the Muslim Brotherhood, to go after Savage in this manner should be a major wake up call for all Americans.

Here is part of a recent press release from CAIR, which used Savage's statements as a pretext to partner with other liberal minority groups primarily in California to form The Hate Hurt America Coalition, headed by CAIR-Orlando Executive Director Sabiha Khan:

The Hate Hurts America Community and Interfaith Coalition (HHA) today announced that Universal Orlando Resorts has joined a growing list of advertisers that have stopped advertising or refuse to place their ads on Michael Savage's "Savage Nation" radio program.

HHA, a group of religious and civic organizations seeking to challenge hate speech on talk radio, was formed as a result of Savage's recent rhetorical attacks on Muslims, Islam and the Quran, Islam's revealed text. Coalition members are calling on advertisers nationwide to stop airing commercials on Savage's nationally-syndicated program.

The problem is, these groups who have partnered with CAIR to destroy Savage's career, obviously have not done their homework about CAIR's past or if they have, must be fine with CAIR's partnering with the terrorist organization HAMAS, who wants to seek the destruction of Israel, and the Muslim Brotherhood, who seeks to destroy our democracy.   They have been successful in getting the above mentioned advertisers to agree with them.  Scary.

Cliff Kincaid with Accuracy in Media said it this way:

"Radio personality Michael Savage wrote a book on why liberalism is a mental disorder. That helps explain why he is under attack by radical Muslims, who are fellow travelers with the liberals in trying to dismantle American defenses against terrorists and criminals...."

I believe Americans need to know this fact, don't you?  For more background on CAIR, click on the CAIR category on this page.

I plan to e-mail each one of these advertisers and voice my complaint about their actions.  I don't not like what Savage said but I do defend to the death his right to say it.  I urge you to do the same.

Didn't a famous American once say something similar about our right to free speech?

ACTION ALERT:  Contact the advertisers who pulled their ads from Savage Nation to express you concern about their actions which fly in the face of free speech.

Politely request you support free speech on the radio and disagree with their position to remove their ads from “Savage Nation.”

Governor's Ethnic American Council: Islam is Goal

In the Tulsa World today I read about the influence of a family member of the recently controversial Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council - to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars! 

This council brought serious attention to themselves when they offered to provide all Oklahoma Legislators with a personalized copy of the Quran to help celebrate the state's 100th birthday.  A number of legislators took offense about being offered a religious text through the auspicious of a governor's council which meets in a public building with support staff all paid for by taxpayers.  Some legislators clearly didn't like being offered a religious text that speaks so ill of Christians.  Muslims took offense.  I wrote  here when 16 legislators joined in and here when it grew to 31. I think the list is now about 35.

Aside from this problematic news, the council chairwoman seem to makes it abundantly clear, in the very last sentence of the article, the goal of the council is to advance a better understanding of Islam.  To me this is teaching or advancing the religion of Islam.

"The family of a Muslim member of the Governor's Ethnic American Advisory Council has spent nearly $100,000 to influence elections since 2002, state Rep. Mike Reynolds said Wednesday.

Reynolds, R-Oklahoma City, said the political contributions prove that the council's intentions "run far beyond education efforts" and that Gov. Brad Henry is "simply rewarding key campaign contributors."

Among members on the council is Mohammad Farzaneh, whose family made contributions to candidates in several Democratic and Republican races for both state and federal office. Paul Sund, spokesman for Gov. Brad Henry, said Wednesday: "Like all U.S. citizens, they have the right to support whatever cause or candidate they choose. They exercised that right when they contributed funds to the governor's opponent, Republican Ernest Istook, and a number of other Republican and Democratic candidates."

Records indicate that family members gave about $8,000 to Henry, and about $2,250 to Istook in the 2006 governor's race.

The council has been the subject of controversy recently with about 35 mostly Republican lawmakers declining to accept centennial editions of the Quran. Members of the Farzaneh family could not be reached for comment late Wednesday afternoon. Brothers Mohammad and Jalal Farzaneh are owners of Home Creations, a homebuilding firm based in Oklahoma City.

Reynolds recently called on Henry to disband or reform the ethnic advisory council, saying the group's members are all Muslim. Council chairwoman Marjan Seirafi-Pour said the intent of the council is to work with the government and others to build understanding of Islam."

If you find it offensive that this government council is trying to advance Islam,  please call the Governor of Oklahoma at 800 865-5853. 

Also call your two state legislators to complain - they can cut off funding if they get enough complaints.  Click on this link to find yours.

ACTION: Blogging for the Truth?

I think this story highlights how much effort it takes to uncover the truth and how people can twist it or fail to recognize it.  A blogger in Ohio, Patrick Poole, recently wrote about an upcoming Islamic forum to be held at the Ohio Statehouse sponsored in part by the Ohio Humanities Council and the Council on American Islamic Relations here, here and here.  He points out that two of the speakers, Anisa Abd El Fattah, and Robert D. Crane (and former aide to President Nixon), previously worked for the United Association for Studies and Research an organization started by the leader of HAMAS, Mousa Marzook, a person named a global terrorist after he fled the U.S.!

ACTION ALERT: Charges of Ethnic Cleansing in Tulsa by Latino Leader

In an October 4th Presidential Bulletin, Rev. Miguel Rivera, President of the National Coalition of Latino Clergy and member of President Bush's White House Immigration Reform Coalition, said that within hours a lawsuit to defeat Oklahoma's anti-illegal foreign national law will be filed. He also said the Mexican American Legal Defense Fund will jointly contribute their legal support. In a translated version of the bulletin, Rivera makes the deeply disturbing claim that ethnic cleansing is taking place in Tulsa.

"CONLAMIC out in defense of the hundreds of immigrant Latino members of our member churches in Oklahoma, who are being abused by abuses of the City Police Department and the Tulsa County Sheriff Tulsa, as a result of agreements between the two police areas, attempting to clean the city of Tulsa the presence of undocumented Latinos according to statements by the leaders of that community anti-latinos.

It is surprising that most of the police actions, roadblocks on the main avenues and the arrests and prosecution of deportations is greater and meaningful, in the vicinity of Tulsa County, and these ethnic cleansing action, they happen before the elections on October 9, when residents of these communities adjacent to Rio de Tulsa, are preparing to vote in favor of a draft multimillionaire tourism development, housing and economic development... The Police and the Sheriff of Tulsa have become enemies of the Latino community in Tulsa and the only thing that can make our families to be able to report when they are victims of any crime, is calling the Federal Agents from the FBI, so that they realize and realize his superiors of the conditions so aggravating is that the Latino community in Oklahoma.  Even the School Districts of metropolitan areas or high minority residence, reported very high percentages of loss of Latino students who have not returned to class this school year; as a result of this avalanche of persecution and abuse by local police organizations under the excuse of program implementation 287-G."  The entire bulletin is attached below.

ACTION ALERT: Americans, especially Oklahomans, need to stand up to these charges and take their country back.  If you believe the Tulsa Police Department is looking out for the best interests of its citizens, I encourage you to call them and give them your support.

ACTION ALERT: Governor of Virginia Appoints Muslim Brotherhood Leader

UPDATE 4:45 PM:  Governor Timothy M. Kaine's statement:

Kaine Announces Dr. Esam Omeish's Resignation

Gov. Timonthy M. Kaine released this statement today in regards to the resignation of Dr. Esam Omeish, recent appointee to the Virginia Commission on Immigration.

I have accepted Dr. Esam Omeish's resignation as one of the 10 gubernatorial appointees to the 20-member Virginia Commission on Immigration. Dr. Omeish is a respected physician and community leader, yet I have been made aware of certain statements he has made which concern me. Dr. Omeish indicated that he did not want this controversy to distract from the important work of the Commission. I intend to name another representative of the Muslim community to the Commission in the near future.

UPDATE  2 PM CT: SUCCESS!    Dr. Esame S. Omeish, a surgeon at the INOVA Alexandria Hospital, has resigned from the Immigration Commission he was appointed to by the Governor of Virginia.  It appears the Governor did NOT do his homework on this man. 

-----

The Governor of Virginia, Gov. Timothy M. Kaine has appointed a leader of the Muslim American Society, Dr. Esam S. Omeish, a Northern Virginia physician,  to his Immigration Commission. To watch a video of this physician blast Israel see below.   

80 to 85% of Americans are Christians and believe in the Old Testatment with its roots and history firmly rooted in Israel.  People like Omeish do not recognize Israel's right to exist!!!  What will it take for Americans to WAKE UP to this assault on our Biblical history.

A delegate has asked Democratic Gov. Timothy M. Kaine to re-think his appointment of the head of the Virginia-based Muslim American Society to the Virginia Commission on Immigration.  Del. Todd Gilbert, R-Woodstock, wrote to Kaine earlier today, saying he was concerned about the appointment of Dr. Esam S. Omeish, a Northern Virginia physician and the group's president, to the panel. The commission was created earlier this year to study the impact of illegal immigration on the commonwealth. The Muslim American Society has significant ties to the Muslim Brotherhood, a group founded in Egypt, Gilbert said.

A caller to Kaine's program on WRVA radio in Richmond asked the governor Thursday morning about the Omesh appointment and the video.

That is news to me, what you say, and it's something we will check out Kaine told the caller, identified on the air only by the name Kent.

Kaine spokesman Kevin Hall said the governor had been unable to reach Omesh.

Mahdi Bray, a spokesman for the MAS, told The Associated Press that Omesh was performing surgery and not available for comment.

JIHAD IS THE WAY...  Speech on 12/22/2000

Too Many Mosques in the U.S.?

Rep. Pete King recently did an interview with Politico where he said there are too many mosques in America.  The Democrats National Committee (Islamist sympathizers?) apparently thought what King said was deplorable according to the Council of American Islamic Relations. 

Now CAIR is trying to silence him with an Action Alert.  They are requesting Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani dump King and commentator Daniel Pipes as campaign advisors because of their extremist and Islamophobic views and comments. 

"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on Muslims and other people of conscience to ask Republican leaders to repudiate remarks by Rep. Peter King (R-NY) in which he said “we have too many mosques in this country.”

CAIR also asked that Americans of all faiths contact Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani and urge him to drop King and commentator Daniel Pipes as campaign advisors because of their extremist and Islamophobic views and comments."

Have you noticed how vocal this group is?  My God, aren't Muslims a very tiny part of our society?  Then why does it seem they complain so much of the time?  Is it just me?  What is worrisome is this just the beginning of CAIR's efforts to silence those who speak out about their concerns with Islam?

It's just like CAIR,  who has given a speech or two under the Hezbollah flag, who has stated publically that the Koran should be the highest authority in America, who planned and participate in a meeting with HAMAS, who is associated with the Muslim Brotherhood which seeks to destroy our democracy, to get offended because someone stands up bravely about what's going on in our country. 

If you believe Rep. King had a right to say what he did, please think about contacting these groups:

1. Contact Republican leaders with your support of Rep. Peter King (R-NY) in his right to free speech and the concerns raised in his interview.
