Ground Zero Mosque Imam Rauf: ‘New York is the capital of the world and this location close to 9/11 is iconic.’

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on 8/20/2010 @ 8:58 pm

Robert Spencer, the JihadWatch blogger:

“The idea here that will be widely understood is that this mosque is another triumphal mosque, another victory mosque [like] the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the site of the Temple Mount and the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus,” Spencer told WND today.

“The reason for the interest in this property in particular is its iconic status in relation to the 9/11 attacks. This is something the Imam Rauf has said himself. It’s not something I’m attributing to him,” Spencer explains.

“In his own words he said, ‘New York is the capital of the world and this location close to 9/11 is iconic.’ He was happy that his mosque would be at the site of the building [where] the wreckage fell on 9/11,” Spencer said.

The al Shabaab campaign to rid Somalia of all non-Muslims

Filed under:Culture War,War on Terror — posted by Jack on @ 8:42 pm

Madobe was born in a Somali village. He was orphaned as a child and was raised as a Christian despite his Islamic family name. He eventually became a pastor of a small underground church in his home village.

One morning Madobe was brutally murdered by members of an Islamic extremist group called al Shabaab. Just two weeks prior, Madobe had narrowly escaped being kidnapped by the same group.

Madobe’s death is unique because he was not a convert from Islam… as are most of the Somalis executed for such reasons.

The al Shabaab militants who killed Madobe prohibited his body from being buried and ordered that it be left to the dogs to be an example to other Christians. They remarked, “Leaving his body outside is a warning to all that infidels are a disgrace to Muslims.”

The al Shabaab militia has recently embarked on a brutal campaign to rid the country of all non-Muslims.

BTW: al Shabaab is the group that Somalian Muslims in Minnesota were raising money for – going house to house, asking for donations to “feed the hungry” when in fact they were raising money to support the terrorist group,  al Shabaab

Can CAIR shut down WorldNetDaily?

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on @ 8:34 pm

Despite repeated defeats in court, the Council on American-Islamic Relations continues its desperate attempt to thwart WorldNetDaily’s exposure of its radical aims, this time with a deposition “fishing” for information on WND founder and CEO Joseph Farah.

In a “clear attack on the First Amendment,” CAIR wants to know all about how the devastating, best-selling expose “Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That’s Conspiring to Islamize America” was published, financed and put together, says Daniel Horowitz, one of three high-profile lawyers representing WND and “Muslim Mafia” co-author P. David Gaubatz in CAIR’s lawsuit.

“CAIR went fishing to catch WorldNetDaily, and they walked away with nothing,” said Horowitz of the D.C.-based Islamic group’s deposition last week of the Center for Security Policy.

GOP: Census Bureau behaves “exactly as a scam artist …[the survey is] a dangerous invasion of privacy…overreaching and intimidating.”

Filed under:General — posted by Jack on @ 8:02 pm

The Republican National Committee resolved this month that the Census Bureau behaves “exactly as a scam artist would, asking very personal questions,” and called the survey “a dangerous invasion of privacy,” and “overreaching and intimidating.” The committee said the Census Bureau was “spending millions of tax dollars to violate the rights and invade the personal privacy of United States citizens.”

The resolution invokes the Fourth Amendment protection against unreasonable searches and notes that the Constitution mandates a count only every 10 years — to reapportion seats in the House of Representatives. The party is demanding that the bureau either scrap the American Community Survey or make participation voluntary.

The US needs to stop allowing the construction of terrorist training centers on its own soil.

Filed under:Culture War,War on Terror — posted by Jack on @ 6:56 pm

Bryan Fischer makes the case that not only should the Ground Zero mosque be stopped, the construction of ALL mosques should be halted – not as oppression of religion, but to limit the threat of home-grown terrorists being raised and indoctrinated in our own cities.

Powerful Democrat defends my position on mosques

by Bryan Fischer

“I have argued that building permits can and should be denied for the building of mosques in American cities because each mosque is a potential or actual recruitment and training center for terrorism against the United States.

Mosques cannot claim protection under the First Amendment for the simple reason that the agenda of Islam is the total destruction of Western civilization in general and America in particular.

More than 100 verses (109 to be exact) in the Koran call upon Muslims to shed innocent infidel blood.

There may be moderate Muslims, but there is no such thing as moderate Islam. And until we have a foolproof way of knowing when moderate Muslims will suddenly turn devout and start shooting up idolaters, like Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan did, then the risk is simply too great to allow their indoctrination centers to sprout like weeds.

Ex-PLO member: Ground Zero Mosque imam, Abdul Rauf, is NOT a moderate

Filed under:Culture War,War on Terror — posted by Jack on @ 6:15 pm

Remember “taqqiya”: not only is it OK for a Muslim to lie to kufar (infidels = anyone not a Muslim), if it furthers the cause of Islam, lying to kufar is encouraged by Islam.

Do not make the mistake of thinking Islam is a religion, with the same values of  honesty towards everyone. Honesty is encouraged, but only towards other Muslims. Expect to be lied to if you are an infidel.

Research it, check it out for yourself.

“A former member of the Palestine Liberation Organization has monitored Arabic language traffic in Middle East that reveals the controversial “Ground Zero” mosque imam is not a moderate at all.

The Islam critic explains that the organizer spearheading the Ground Zero mosque outlined his manifesto for the infiltration of secular governments like that of the United States by means of “peaceful lobbying efforts.”

Walid Shoebat small”What he is suggesting is to make the governors and the political institutions consult Muslim institutions and Muslim personalities like himself…in the field so as to ensure that the decision-making…reflects the spirit of sharia, to make Muslim personalities so they can begin to influence the government and so they can become consultants to the government,” Shoebat reports. “And then they make sure that the laws are within the spirit of sharia Islamic laws.”

He points out that Abdul Rauf has already taken a step toward his goal by getting a State Department-funded trip to the Middle East to be an envoy for alleged “peaceful” Islam.

For all you Islamophobes out there: a taste of Saudi Sharia Law.

Filed under:Culture War,War on Terror — posted by Jack on @ 5:31 am

The next time someone accuses you of being a xenophobe for having concerns about the growing influence of Sharia Law, tell them this little story:

“A Saudi judge has asked several hospitals whether they would punitively damage a man’s spinal cord after he was convicted of attacking another man with a cleaver and paralysing him, local newspapers reported today.

Saudi Arabia enforces strict sharia law and occasionally metes out punishments based on the ancient code of an eye for an eye.

Abdul-Aziz al-Mutairi, 22, was left paralysed after a fight more than two years ago, and asked a judge to impose an equivalent punishment on his attacker under sharia law, reports said.”

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/aug/19/saudi-arabia-judge-paralyse-convict

Let me ask you: do you really want this kind of thing covered under “Religious Freedom”? Some European countries already let Muslim communities implement Sharia Law within their groups. Not something I would want to see happen in America.

Reminds me of that old joke about paranoia: you’re not paranoid if someone really is out to get you. Is it possible that you’re not an Islamophobe if Islam really is scary?

Here’s another example that should cause some folks from California to think twice:

2 gay men killed in Iraq after Shiite cleric condemns gays

apnews.myway.com — BAGHDAD (AP) – The bodies of two gay men have been found in Baghdad’s Shiite slum of Sadr City after a leading cleric repeatedly condemned homosexuality, an Iraqi police official said Saturday.

The killings come after Shiite cleric Sattar al-Battat repeatedly condemned homosexuality during recent Friday prayers, saying Islam prohibits homosexuality

http://digg.com/world_news/2_gay_men_killed_in_Iraq_after_Shiite_cleric_condemns_gays

This might sound insensitive, but I have to laugh when I see “Progressives” who express outrage over Christians daring to voice their view that homosexuality is not just another option, but say nothing – nothing! – about Islams harsh punitive system.

Maybe they are afraid to say anything…
