Piers Morgan missed important opportunities interviewing Imam Suhaib Webb

Last night Imam Suhaib Webb of the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC) was interviewed by Piers Morgan on CNN.  The ISBCC is an affiliate of the Islamic Society of Boston where the Boston Marathon suspects attended on occasion.  I just had to make note of some of the big opportunities Piers Morgan missed where he could of asked Webb some rather relevant followup questions:

Piers Morgan interview with Imam Suhaib Webb April 22, 2013:

Joining me is Imam Webb of the Islamic Society of the Boston Cultural Center. Welcome to you, Imam Webb. You're actually imam of a local mosque affiliated with the one that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended. From all that you've now gleaned about what went on with him, were we seeing somebody who was being radicalized very quickly?

IMAM SUHAIB WEBB, ISLAMIC SOCIETY OF BOSTON CULTURAL CENTER: I'm not sure I can answer that question but definitely someone standing up in a Friday prayer and questioning a preacher who is talking about Martin Luther King Jr. might draw some flags but I don't think would necessitate calling law enforcement.

MORGAN: Now, he made two protests on two different incidents. He branded people a kafir, a non-believer. Clearly he was getting quite intense about his religion.
 
WEBB: Yes, I think that's where a qualified scholar or leader would need to step in and talk to him and see kind of what his mindset was, and from there, make a call on kind of what direction he was taking his religiosity.

Missed Opportunity:  I believe he called the Imam kafir for comparing Martin Luther King to the Islamic prophet, Mohammad, isn't that right?   Did the Imam talk to him about this outburst?  Have you spoken to the imam at your sister mosque about this?

MORGAN: What has been the reaction in the mosques, both yours and the one of course that Tamerlan Tsarnaev attended?

WEBB: With regards to what?

MORGAN: Well, to what's happened. Obviously he's been --

WEBB: Our reaction to what?

MORGAN: Your reaction to the discovery that somebody attending one of the mosques has been the perpetrator of this appalling bombing.

WEBB: Well, I think first and foremost as Bostonians, our hearts and prayers are with the community. And then there's a sense of anger and frustration that someone who would frequent one of our faith institutions would carry out such acts, so people seem to be very angry and upset with what he's done.

MORGAN: Is there any new system that you can put in place to raise more warning flags about characters like Tamerlan? Because it just seems to people that he's been plotting this in his head by being inspired by Islamic fundamentalists on videos that he;s found on the Internet, to commit an appalling act of terror, and yet he's been going to this mosque --

WEBB: Indeed.

MORGAN: -- hanging around with people. Somebody must have spotted that he was getting more intense, potentially dangerous, because we know the Russian authorities were wary enough about him to contact the FBI.

WEBB: Indeed, but I have to say, I don't think most mosques or churches or synagogues are law enforcement agencies. They don't have the same access that they would have.

Missed Opportunity:  Actually, those who attend a mosque together on a regular basis may have more access. When he called the Imam a kafir he revealed a bit of his fundamentalist views. Do you agree? Could this be a sign of radicalization or rigid fundamentalist believes?  Did his outburst cause concern?  It's been reported Tamerlan was in company of another Boston area Muslim convert by the name of Mihsa who practiced a strict form of Islam. Do you know who this person is?  I believe he has a red beard.   I wonder, Imam Webb, - do you advise your fellow Muslims to contact the FBI if they see something odd?  Does you mosque discuss radical Islam and its danger? Do you go over the warning sign?  Or, do you tell them not to talk to the FBI, say as CAIR does?

WEBB: But I think what's important is that the mosque here in Boston, the other mosque didn't appeal to his theology, so I think the way to address that -- there was an interesting Harvard study that said only 2 percent of the imams worldwide who called for global jihad had actually degrees from Islamic educational institutions that are considered respectable. So I think one of the best ways is through properly trained scholars who can mediate and talk to people and see where they're coming from and try to address some of those radical ideas that they have. He wasn't radicalized in Boston. It appears now that he was radicalized online.

Missed Opportunity:  Say, what was the name of the Harvard Study?  What year was it done?

Missed Opportunity:  You said 2% of imams who call for global jihad had degrees from proper Islamic institutions. How many imams would you say this represents 10 - 100 - 1000?  How many imams in total have called for global jihad? You don't know?  Hummm... The study referred to 2% of the total, right?  It seems odd you don't know the total. Didn't the study mention the total?  Do you see this global call for jihad by imams as a major concern for most non-Muslims?  Shouldn't the Imams who disagree with the call for global jihad stand up?  What is being done collectively?  Can you give me an example of a written statement from a collective of Imams specifically denouncing the call for global jihad?  What?  What do you mean you can't?

Missed Opportunity:  I noticed (since I did some research) that you have on your own website (SuhaibWebb.com) a glowing review of a presentation given at a conference on th book about Jihad by the highly controversial martyrdom-approving Sunni cleric Yusef Quaradawi.  This presentation, by the way, is also on the Muslim Brotherhood's English Website Ikhwanwebb. Is this wise, Imam?

Missed opportunity:  Did you attend a fund-raiser a few days before 9/11 for Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, otherwise known as H. Rapp Brown, who was convicted for killing a sheriff deputy?  Why were you there?  I read an FBI document about this fundraiser. Anwar Awlaki was there, as well, right?

MORGAN: Imam Webb, thank you for joining me.

WEBB: Thank you, sir.

End - Transcript from CNN

Last week, Webb was replaced (by Bretbart.com) as a speaker at the Boston Marathon Memorial Service the night before but Piers Morgan didn't bother to bring that up either. Another missed opportunity, Piers - geez. On the 21st, Suhaib Webb tweeted a link to this article stating. "They are liars."

There's just one problem, though, this very short article is accurate the best I can tell.  Webb was replaced the night before, he even tweeted about it. The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center is linked to the Islamic Society of Boston and is referred to as the sister organization on the ISB website. Both are linked in the Islamic Society of North America (probably written in their constitution about their permanent affiliation to ISNA) who was named an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror-funding trial (documented court evidence). This was the largest Hamas terror-funding case to date.  There you go again, Piers, missing another opportunity.

Shame on you, Piers Morgan.

CAIR Oklahoma 2013 banquet keynote speaker is controversial Imam Johari Abdul-Malik!

On April 13th, CAIR Oklahoma will host their annual fund-raising banquet at the Oklahoma City Marriott (@OKCMarriott).

Recently, CAIR announceed the keynote speaker will be Imam Johari Abdul-Malik (right).  And, what a controversial imam he is!  Malik showed a glimmer of what is likely his Islamic supremacist ideology in 2004 at Dar al Hijrah, a controversial mosque located in Falls Church, VA., where he is the outreach director.  Malik proclaimed Islam in the USA will be America's first religion!

Abdul Malik:People even under the pressures that you and I know about, the deen of Islam is growing because people see even within all of this struggle it is better to be a Muslim under these conditions than to be a kaffir under any conditions... before Allah closes our eyes for the last time you will see Islam move from being the second largest religion in America-that's where we are now- to being the first religion in America

You can hear him in his own words here and read a little about the mosque where he works.

Imam Johari al-Malik worked with Anwar Awlaki who was an Imam at Dar al Hirhrah in 2001-2002.  Malik defended him many times here.  In 2011, Malik blamed an unsubstantiated torture claim as the reason Awlaki changed into a more radical Muslim.  However, the Investigative Project disputes how moderate Awlaki was while in America (see previous link).  Afterall, he did catch the attention of law enforcement before he left the U.S., right?  

Malik was reported to have said at a Muslim Brotherhood linked Islamic Association of Palestine meeting in 2001 (ref: previous link): 

I am gonna teach you now. You can blow up bridges, but you cannot kill people who are innocent on their way to work. You can blow up power supplies… the water supply, you can do all forms of sabotage and let the world know that we are doing it like this because they have a respect for the lives of innocent people.

There's that phrase "innocent people" again. Who decides who's guilty in Islam and therefore not innocent, anyway?  So far, I can't find the answer.

A FOIA document obtained by IPT says this about the Dar al Hirhrah mosque:

The Department of Treasury's Enforcement Communications System (TECS) records note that Dar al-Hijrah "is a mosque operating as a front for Hamas operatives in U.S.," "is associated with Islamic extremists," "has been under numerous investigations for financing and proving aid and comfort to bad orgs and members," has "been linked to numerous individuals linked to terrorism financing," and "has also been associated with encouraging fraudulent marriages."

You can read more about Dar al Hirjrah here.

Earlier this year, the primary Imam at Dar al Hirjrah, Sheik Shaker Elsayed, spoke about Muslim men - being the first in the Jihad line!  Watch and listen to his disturbing words here.

And for some odd reason, Malik wants youto know he is not a pacifist Muslim when he wrote on his blog:

Let me say from the outset that I’m not a pacifist; the Quranic injunctions provide the right to self-defense. 2:178 retaliation has been prescribed …“O you who believe! Retaliation is prescribed for you in the matter of the slain, the free for the free, and the slave for the slave, and the female for the female, but if any remission is made to any one by his (aggrieved) brother, then prosecution (for the bloodwit) should be made according to usage, and payment should be made to him in a good manner; this is an alleviation from your Lord and a mercy; so whoever exceeds the limit after this he shall have a painful chastisement.”2:216 (link added) (Z: fighting has been prescribed for you and) you dislike it …“ The life of this world is made to seem fair to those who disbelieve, and they mock those who believe, and those who guard (against evil) shall be above them on the day of resurrection; and Allah gives means of subsistence to whom he pleases without measure.”

Say what?  Retaliation and fighting has been prescribed for you?  Wow!

Way to go CAIR Oklahoma.

According to CAIR Oklahoma, sharia law isn't really ever the real sharia law - even in Islamic countries ruled by sharia law!

"Do not refer to the laws in Muslim-majority countries (even those claiming to be “Islam!ic states”) as “sharia.” They are merely a legislated selection of humanly-created fiqh rules; they cannot be said to be conclusively dictated by sharia itself."  Humanly-created?  Any sharia law ruling is done by an Islamic authority (last paragraph)

Jillian Holzbauer Frazier - CAIR Oklahoma's unlikely new spin-master tackles Islamophobia

Within a month of being hired for a newly created position as CAIR Oklahoma's communication director, Jillian Holzbauer Frazier tackled Islamophobia In an opinion piece published by a liberal Tulsa paper - who pretty much just publishes what CAIR gives them - titled Extreme rhetoric can nurture violence.

Holzbauer Frazier implied what appears to be legitimate concerns expressed by three public officials was extreme rhertoric.  U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann who merely inquired about possible Muslim Brotherhood infiltration into our government and simply asked how people are vetted if they have ties to it.  Rep. Joe Walsh, R-Ill who stated there are radical Islamists who want to kill Americans and Oklahoma Rep. Rex Duncan who helped bring to a vote of Oklahomans a constitutional amendment that would not allow foreign law, which also included sharia law - the law used by a number of Islamic countries - to be considered in state court decisions.  This amendment passed overwhelmingly in the fall of 2009. It was CAIR Oklahoma's new director, Muneer Awad, who within days of moving here, sued the state.   I should point out Muneer Awad recently became the director of CAIR New York although the CAIR Oklahoma website makes it a point to state he still lives in the state. 

Islamic Circle of North America: Islam is not just a religion. Islam is everything!

A recent tweet from the Islamic Circle of North America sure speaks volumes about Islamism, doesn't it?

Responding to Sheryl Siddiqui's criticism of Oklahoma "Islamophobes"

Islam doesn't allow killing of "innocent people" Sheryl Siddiqui wrote in a commentary published in the Oklahoma Gazette on September 20th. Last year in another interview, Siddiqui claimed only God has the right to take life.  I wonder if she could possibly enlighten me and other misinformed and ignorant Okies just how The Atlas of Islamic Conquests, which is sold at Islamic bookstore in the U.S., fits in the context of her claim. I assume these battles for power involved fighting, which is messy and many people were, I'm sure, killed. Were these conquests islamically sanctioned or were they a stain that reflects badly on Islam's history?  This book could be a useful resource about Islam's history of of supremacy. No matter how you spin it Islamism dominated.

A Georgia school lesson on Islam denigrates Western women!

"...I have seen pictures of women in the West and find their dress to be horribly immodest.  I would never want to show parts of my body the way Western women do because I don't think women who do that can be respected."  --- “I understand that some Westerners condemn our practice of polygamy, but I also know they are wrong, ---i have heard men in the West divorce their wives to marry a younger woman -- Women in the West do not have the protection of the Sharia as we do here."  --- Ahlima

 

This is another example of Islamism (Islamic supremacy) and it was being taught in middle school in Georgia! 

 

Pew Research: 40% of Black Muslim Americans know of extremist support in their community!

In late August, Pew Research released a report on Muslims in America. It's happily titled Muslim Americans: No Signs of Growth in Alienation or Support for Extremism which gives the impression that all is well.  Upon further review, I found, though, there's significantly higher support for Islamic extremism among the black Muslims polled!  40% of native-born black Muslim Americans reported they knew there was a great deal and/or a fair amount of extremist support in their communities compared to 20% of all U.S. Muslims, which is bad enough having 1 in 5 Muslims know of this kind of support in America.  Support for suicide bombings and for al Qaeda was doubled for the native-born black Muslims than for all U.S. Muslims.  Why?  Something appears to be very wrong.

Learn the history of Islamic supremacy and conquests

The"Atlas of the Islamic Conquests" is a reference book sold at some Islamic bookstores in the U.S., like the Dar-us-Salam bookstore in Houston, Tx. There are 490 pages to review.  It appears that Islamic conquests was a major part of its history.

Knowing this information would give one the tools to have a thorough discussion with Muslim leaders in your area about its long history of Islamic supremacy. I'd ask what makes any conquests by force Islamic and to explain why.

Islamic supremacy: Khilafah Conference 2011 in Chicago

Islamic supremacy, if implimented globally very slowly, incrimentally, over time, will be a danger to America's freedom and, of course, the entire world. One Islamic supremacist group in America which came out of the shadows after Obama was elected is Hizb-ut-Tahrir.  Observe the screen shot I took of their video which shows an Obama 2012 ad that popped up during their trailer for the 2011 Khilafah conferenc!  Last year, their Khilafah Conference never happened but it did in 2009. This year they either are keeping the location of the conference under wraps or haven't secured a location.  The date of it is June 26th.

A caliphate or khilafah is an Islamic supremacist leader which rules over other using a sharia-based ruling system.

Denver Imam: purify your desires before you offer yourself on the battlefield

This is a short clip from the video on I found posted on TubeIslam titled "The Greater Struggle "Jihad al-Nafs" by Imam Karim AbuZaid from the Colorado Muslim Society in Denver. FYI: The funny word nufs you hear AbuZaid say often means your desire, your ego.  And, minor jihad is physical fighting and major jihad is personal struggles.

Could this be considered part of the radicalization process?  Clearly, I don't know what the Imam's intent here was but I found it troubling:

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.

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.

Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City to host anti-Israel speaker, Huwaida Arraf

Suhaib Webb's "virtual mosque" praised Yusef Qaradawi's book on jihad as a masterpiece!

Imam Suhaib Webb is being groomed to be a rising American-born Imam.  He was born William Webb and raised in Oklahoma as a Christian until he converted to Islam as a teenager. Webb studied Islam at the hard-line Al-Azhar University in Egypt thanks to the Muslim American Society. This is the same place where the Imam at the Islamic Society of Tulsa, Dr.Mohamed Al Gobashy (ElGhobashy) studied (update 10/2011 AlGobashy suddenly is not the Imam in Tulsa anymore). Webb said he found Islam through hip hop music which was laced with the teachings of Islam due to the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X, according to a 2008 interview (archive page) at Egypt Today. Webb's move to Egypt in 2004 was sponsored by the Muslim American Society, which began as an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood here.  Webb lives in California now but comes to Oklahoma, from time to time  (update 1/2/2012:  Webb is now Imam at the Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center)

In December Webb's website posted a paper presented at a conference about Yusef Quaradawi's "Figh of Jihad."  Qaradawi rose to a leadership position within the Muslim Brotherhood, according to the paper.  We learn here that a large number of Muslim jurists are propoents of offensive jihad - meaning it is a legitimate act to attack non-Muslims for their disbelief in Isalm!  This same paper is also posted on the Muslim Brotherhood's English website called Ikhwanweb (see below). 

Let's face it, the Muslim jurist who believe in offensive jihad against non-Muslims play a major role in forming extremist views.

Qaradawi was banned from entering the U.S. for his fatwas that approve martyrdom against Israel, which included the killing of Israeli women and children!  Yet, guest author, Rashid Al-Ghannushi, called Qaradawi's book on jihad a masterpiece (see title). The author is a well-known Islamist who wrote in the beginning paragraph jihad is “the summit of Islam with wildly different views:

Those views, moreover, have an effect on relations between Muslims themselves, with their governments, and with non-Muslims, in view of the awakening witnessed across the Muslim world, both at the level of faith and the level of practice. This has led to a greater connection between Islam as a religion (creed, rituals, morals) and an ideology of great influence on the thought and behaviour of Muslims, socially and politically, or what is known as “political Islam”, in which jihad occupies a central position in one way or another.

"...As for “political Islam”, he (Qaradawi) grew up inside one of its groups, the “Muslim Brotherhood”, occupying leading positions within it...

Qaradawi's lengthy book explores the varying interpretations of jihad and, to make a long explanation short, claimed verses in the Quran are not abrogated which could be considered a disadvantage for hardcore jihadists. Many scholars do believe the verses were abrogated, though.  The two types of jihad Qaradawi said are civil and military. The practice of military jihad only becomes an obligation upon Muslims when conditions arise such as an attack on Muslims, their land or their religion. Of course, this could be highly subjective depending on whose calling the shots.  Claiming certain land is Muslim land, such as Israel, seems to be based on Islamic conquest of it way back when, is a great example.   Who defines what is an attack on a Muslim or their religion?  Muslims who believe Islam's ideology of religious supremacy and that it should be the only ruling order is central to Islamism so I'm pretty sure they would call critics of it an attack on their religion.

Qaradawi is the chairman of the group that runs Islamonline whose article on Al-Qaradawi's Fiqh of Jihad briefy reviews a few of the sections.  In their Fatwa Section under the title of Palestinian Women Carrying Out Martyr Operations (archive copy), Qaradawi proclaimed the greatest of all jihad is a martyr operation:

"This is what is clarified by the following fatwa, issued by Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi the prominent Muslim scholar:

The martyr operations is the greatest of all sorts of Jihad in the Cause of Allah. A martyr operation is carried out by a person who sacrifices himself, deeming his life less value than striving in the Cause of Allah, in the cause of restoring the land and preserving the dignity..."

The only good news here is Qaradawi apparently does not condone offensive jihad/war like many other Islamist jurist do, according to Al-Ghannushi.  But, really that's little comfort.  Webb's disclamer he's not responsible for other opinions or view posted on HIS website is a total cop-out.  Face it, it's disturbing his website is used as a vehicle to praise Qaradawi's book on jihad.

What is New about Al-Qaradawi’s Jihad? (Ikhwanweb)  A paper presented about Quaradawi's "Figh of Jihad"

Military Jihad: Between Daf’ and Talab (Defensive and Offensive Jihad)

Is it of a religious nature, meaning it is obligatory upon Muslims to fight non-believers until they embrace Islam or submit to its authority, which they call jihad al-talab, that is voluntary offensive jihad? Or is it of a political nature, necessitated by the need to defend the lands of Islam against transgressors and to defend Muslims against those who prevent them from freedom of faith, and the oppressed generally- which they have termed jihad al-daf`, that is necessary defensive jihad, which, if Muslims must engage it, should be engaged in with pure intentions, for God’s sake, and following strict ethical guidelines which cannot be neglected.

Classically, and in the modern era, jurists have been divided between two groups, which al-Qaradwi calls the hujumiyyin (proponents of offensive jihad) and difa`iyyin (proponents of defensive jihad)

...The hujumiyyin consider it an obligation for the Muslim nation to attack the land of the non-believers at least once a year in order to call to Islam and expand its territories. They hold disbelief per se as a sufficient reason to initiate war and legitimate killing, even if non-believers do not attack or harm Muslims, to the extent that Muslims would be sinful if they do not do so. The proponents of this view, a large number of jurists, most prominent of which among classical scholars is Imam al-Shafi`i, and among contemporary thinkers are Sayyid Qutb and al-Mawdudi, support their view with evidence from the Quran and the Sunnah, and from historical practice.

Radical Islam: Outspoken cleric, jailed activist tied to new Hub mosque [Boston]   Boston Herald 10/03

The Islamic Society of Boston, which has city approval to build a sprawling $22 million Islamic cultural center and mosque on Malcolm X Boulevard, has had a long association with Dr. Yusuf Abdullah al-Qaradawi, whose vocal support of the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas prompted the State Department to bar him from entering the U.S. four years ago.

The local religious organization, now headquartered on Prospect Street in Cambridge, was founded by Abdurahman Muhammad Alamoudi - a high-profile Washington, D.C. activist who has publicly supported Hamas, Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations.

Alamoudi was arrested Sept. 28 at Dulles International Airport in Virginia and charged with making illegal trips to Libya and accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Libyan government in violation of U.S. law.

Last Thursday, Alamoudi was indicted for his dealings with Libya and portrayed by prosecutors as a key financier for militant Islamic groups and terrorist organizations.

Get to know John Esposito

Yesterday John Esposito who is a professor of International Affairs and Islamic Studies at Georgetown University and a Catholic convert. spoke at Montana State University.  Today the Bozeman Daily Chronicle wrote Islamic consultant says paradigm must change which I just have to talk about a little bit.  He claimed our views of Muslims are too narrow-minded and that our support of totalitarian regimes was a problem.  That's hardly fair.  The U.S. has nothing to do with who gets in power in the Middle East or other countries or how they set up their laws and constitution.  We pretty much have to play with the cards dealt us.  He also claimed women in two towns in Saudi owned most of the land to help lessen the sad reality they aren't allowed to drive in that country.

First, Esposito has a troubling history which should be reviewed.   I wrote a comment in the Chronicle and decided to post it here:

The women own the majority of land in parts of Saudi Arabia?  Hold on a minute  while I go get my boots on!   Heck, I don't think Saudi woman can vote or go anywhere without a guardian.  The local Imam in my state said it was because most of the Saudi women have chauffeurs.  Sure.

Esposito is the founding director of the Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Islamic Center at Georgetown, which, I think, could be argued an example of Saudi bought influence/propaganda here.

He testified for the defense in the Holy Land Foundation which ought to tell you something, too (USA v. Holy Land Foundation 3:04-CR-240-G ND TX November 4, 2008) This was the largest Hamas terror-funding trial in U.S. history so his testimony should be reviewed.   here's a whole lot to know about Esposito. 

The better educated Americans become about the infiltration of the Muslim Brotherhood operations/organizations and Saudi influence and those who support it within our country, the more we can participate to the fullest at these kinds of meetings.  Also study the polls done in Islamic countries and with Muslims, in general.   For example, you may find the majority of Muslims in any given a country want punishment for those who leave Islam.

We must have frank discussions at these types of meetings.  To do this well we need to have a thorough knowledge about political Islam (i.e., Islamism - a religious ideology that includes the source of power, ruling order and laws and includes the striving to achieve that end).  Political Islam is different from the quiet PRIVATE practice of one's religion.  Also, research if the speaker has a history of islamist associations.  Do you know the organizations set up in America by the Muslim Brotherhood?  If you don't know then you have work to do. Then, and only then, can we ask the right questions.   Becoming well-versed in this takes time, so get started.  Please do it for our future.

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:

James Werrell; an Islamist's dream!

James Werrell is the opinion editor for the The Rock Hill Herald who wrote on November 23rd an article which was a veiled swipe at Oklahoma's SQ 755, which bans foreign and sharia laws from being considered by state judges, in Commentary: The 'Islamish invasion' has already started, published in the Bellingham Heard in Washington. 

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 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. 

Chuck Guzak in "Who's Afraid of the Big-Bad Sharia" slams Oklahoma

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):

CAIR was started by leaders of the Islamic Association of Palestine, an overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood.

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. 

Pakistani Christian woman sentenced to death for her faith!

From the Pakistan Christian Post: "Lahore: November 9, 2010. (PCP) A Christian woman named Asia Bibi was sentenced to death by District and Session Courts after year long trial on accusation of blasphemy filed by Muslim villagers of Ittanwali, where she was residing from generations.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Ban Sharia law: Oklahoma ballot measure reflects wisdom

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

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

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

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

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

 

Thousands of attacks by Muslims since 9/11

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

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

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

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

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

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

CNN Video:

 

 

Americans must have a conversation about Islamism

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

When Dr. Jasser speaks I listen.

Video:

 

Liberal NPR fires Juan Williams over Muslim concern comment!

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

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

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

 

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

Today NPR announced:

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

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

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

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

Juan, get a lawyer.

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

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

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

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

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

Controversial Imam Dremali and wife arrested on marriage fraud charges

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

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

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

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

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

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

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