LOS ANGELES (AP) — A University of California, Irvine, disciplinary committee ruled that a Muslim student group should be suspended for at least a year because of a protest that disrupted a talk by Israel's ambassador and led to the arrest of 11 students, according to documents released Monday. The letter from a student affairs disciplinary committee to Muslim Student Union leaders said the group was guilty of disorderly conduct, obstructing university activities, furnishing false information and other violations of campus policy. University spokeswoman Cathy Lawhon said the committee's decision will be a binding recommendation to the campus' office of student affairs if a planned appeal by the group does not succeed. MSU attorney Reem Salahi said the committee relied on evidence relied that was "inadequate and problematic" but declined to outline the group's challenge in detail. She said the decision, if sustained, would leave Muslim students without an organization representing their interests. "It really does have very lasting constitutional implications," she said. "It's a chilling effect for Muslims on campus and their right to associate." Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren was repeatedly interrupted and called "murderer" and "war criminal" by pro-Palestinian students as he was giving a talk on the Middle East peace process in February. Eleven students were cited on charges of disrupting a public event after they were requested to refrain from heckling but did not. The Orange County district attorney's office did not return a phone message seeking the status of its investigation into those students. The MSU condemned the ambassador's appearance but insisted it did not organize the protests. The disciplinary committee, however, said a review of online message group conversations and minutes from an MSU meeting revealed that the group did engineer the protests and instructed participants to lie about its involvement. The group's preparations allegedly included scripting statements for protesters to make during the event and instructing participants to cheer at disruptions. "Be VERY LOUD, firm and strong ... but remain composed and under control. Do not let your emotions get the best of you. Remember that this is a planned/calculated response and not a venting session," the committee quoted organizers as telling participants inmeeting minutes. Paypal backed down. Excelsior! UPDATE: The nazis and the haters over at CAIR issued a press release cheering the Paypal restriction. Qur'an 3:28 - "Let not the believers take disbelievers for their friends in preference to believers. Whoso doeth that hath no connection with Allah unless (it be) that ye but guard yourselves against them, taking (as it were) security" Will CAIR issue a new press release now that Paypal came crawling back? Bwahahahahahahahahaha!

The whole timeline is here. Excellent. (hat tip cathy)
April 20:
The Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit (MODU) Deepwater Horizon explodes and catches fire in the Gulf of Mexico at about 10 p.m. A crew of 126 people were on board, 11 are missing and at least 15 are injured. Initial reports are that a blowout occurred when oil and methane gas erupted through the riser pipe connecting the Horizon to the well head, 5,000 feet below surface.
April 21:
The U.S. Coast Guard holds its first news conference on the incident. Mary Landry, commander of the Coast Guard's 8th District, says that the Coast Guard is unsure whether any oil has been spilled and that efforts were being focused on recovering the missing crewmen.
April 22:
About 100 survivors from the rig arrive on shore after being treated and debriefed offshore. The 11 missing crewmembers are still missing.
The Deepwater Horizon, still burning, sinks into the Gulf of Mexico, dragging the damaged riser pipe to the bottom with it.
April 23:
The U.S. Coast Guard says that no oil is leaking from the undersea well at the Deepwater Horizon site.
The U.S. Coast Guard officially suspends its search for the 11 missing workers. The 11 missing are presumed to have been killed by the explosion and fire.
April 24:
Reversing the previous day's statements, USCG public affairs states that oil is now leaking from the undersea well at the Deepwater Horizon site. The rate is estimated to be about 1,000 barrels per day, or 42,000 gallons.
April 25:
Remotely operated submersibles are first employed to engage the valves on the blowout preventer device at the well on the sea bottom. The first of many efforts fail. Oil continues at a rate of about 42,000 gallons per day and the first significant images of a slick begin to appear on aerial photographs.
April 26-27:
Severe weather, including thunderstorms, high winds and high seas, suspend cleanup efforts.
April 28:
Crews begin the first "controlled burn" of oil floating atop the water, using specially constructed fire booms. The fire booms, which were not on hand (or even within hundreds of miles of the coast) had to be ordered from Ohio. Experts in marine oil spills criticize BP and the USCG, stating that burning procedures were established in plans approved in 1994.
NOAA announces that five times as much oil (210,000 gallons) is spewing in the Gulf of Mexico than originally thought. Underwater imagery also shows that at least two new leaks in the damaged riser pipe are leaking, bringing the total sources of leaking crude to three.
BP begins mobilizing equipment and resources (see last paragraph at the link) to drill a relief well at the site. BP identifies the relief well as the best, permanent solution for shutting off the leak, but estimates that engineering, mobilization and drilling could take 60 to 90 days.

KILLER BLAST: An explosion cuts through demonstrators at Kenya's Uhuru Park in Nairobi on Sunday. There were two blasts during the political rally at which church leaders and politicians spoke against a proposed new constitution. Six people were killed and 24 injured Picture: REUTERS
Kenyan President Mwai Kibaki convened an emergency meeting of the country's security chiefs yesterday following blasts that killed six people during a political rally against a draft constitution that would recognize Islamic courts.
Obama, Kenya's native son, strongly supports the change to Kenya's constitution.
Prime Minister Raila Odinga said the attack was an "isolated case." But the National Council of Churches blamed the attack on the government and supporters of the draft constitution.
U.S. Vice President Joe Biden urged Kenyans to embrace constitutional reform during a speech here last week. But prominent politicians and Kenya's church leaders want the draft defeated because of allowances for abortion and Islamic courts that deal with family matters, issues opposed by conservative U.S. groups.(here)
During the 2008 presidential elections, I reported extensively on Obama's disturbing ties to the violent pro-sharia agitator Raila Odinga. He campaigned for him and is alleged to have supported him financially.
Islamic governments have targeted Kenya as a key element in the spread of Islam in Horn of Africa and ultimately the world. The Kenyan Diaspora including Presidential candidate Sen. Barack Hussein Obama has also played a part. The fall of Kenya into Islamist control would be devastating to anti-terrorist activities in the Horn of Africa, not to mention the potential for expansion of a caliphate. One has to ask, how fast will Kenya go Islamic and apply Shariah law? (February 2008)
From my January 11 post: Obama backed sharia advocate Odinga against American ally Kenya President Mwai Kibaki . He was unequivocal in his support going so far as bragging to his shills and syncophants in the media (TIME Magazine's Joe Klein here),
"Obama has had near-daily conversations with the U.S. Ambassador in Kenya or with opposition leader Raila Odinga.
More on Odinga and Obama's phone conversations here.
Obama's bias for his Odinga was so blatant that a Kenya government spokesman denounced Obama during his visit as Raila's "stooge."
Odinga signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Muslim community of Kenya. Odinga and the Muslims document here (at Atlas in January 2008)
As I predicted in 20008, Obama is behind a constitutional change in Kenya in support of sharia law.
Over at The left of Satan, Muslim terrorists struck today at a peaceful demonstration in Nairobi, Kenya. CSM reports:
Kenyan police are on the hunt for bombers who attacked a Nairobi political rally on Sunday night, killing at least six and injuring more than 100 in the run-up to an August 4 national referendum on proposed constitutional changes. The blast underscores the political fragility in one of America's most important East Africa allies, three years after election violence there left 1,500 dead and 300,000 displaced.
Kenya's draft constitution under fire for Islamic courts Christian Science Monitor
Kenya judges ruled this week that an Islamic ‘khadi’ court system that could expand under the new constitution is discriminatory. Human rights advocates say the issue has been ‘hijacked’ by those opposed to the draft constitution.Kenya's efforts to pass a new constitution – aimed at preventing a repeat of 2007 ethnic violence – hit another hurdle this week, as judges ruled that it permits an Islamic 'khadi' court system that is discriminatory.
A three-judge panel said May 24 that the ‘khadi' court system, which arbitrates on matters of marriage and inheritance for Kenya’s Muslim minority, is discriminatory as it is based on religion. Kenyan law stipulates separation of church and state, though both the current constitution and the new draft constitution permit kadhicourts. A nationwide referendum on the draft constitution is set for Aug. 4.
Monday's ruling was reportedly praised by Kenya's church leaders, who in 2004 filed the original lawsuit against the constitutionality of kadhi courts. Nearly 70 percent of Kenya's population is Protestant or Roman Catholic and its powerful churches have already voiced opposition to the constitution because they say it eases restrictions on abortion.
“Kadhi courts are in fact a very minor part of the new draft,” says Mwalimu Mati, director of Mars Group Kenya, a governance watchdog in favor of the new constitution. “But we are entering the phase where both sides of the referendum are starting to square up to each other, and it will be a dirty war in which any issue is fair game for manipulation.”
Some members of parliament immediately called for the referendum's delay while the implications of Monday's court ruling are investigated.
Kenya’s attorney general, Amos Wako, has filed an urgent appeal against the ruling, saying today that he wants the issue resolved before the August 4 referendum.
Opponents of the khadi courts argue that the new constitution allows the courts to extend their jurisdiction from the majority-Muslim Kenyan coast across the whole country, which they claim will open the way to strict sharia law.
“That’s patently absurd,” says Hassan Omar Hassan, vice-chair of the Kenya National Human Rights Commission. “In fact, on both abortion and khadi courts, the new constitution barely changes the situation from the status quo we have now.”
Khadi courts are no different from other corners of Kenyan law which have been built up over decades of jurisprudence, Mr. Hassan says.
“It is another example of an issue which has been hijacked by those opposed to the new constitution,” he adds.
USA Today reporting:
NEW YORK, June 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The human rights group Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) today applauded a decision by PayPal, the leading online payment service, to reinstate the accounts of AtlasShrugs.com, Freedom Defense Initiative (FDI), and SIOA itself, after briefly suspending them over spurious and politically motivated charges of "hate.
Atlas Shrugs founder and publisher Pamela Geller, who is also the Executive Director of SIOA, received this e-mail last Friday from PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy Department: "[A]fter a recent review of your account, it has been determined that you are currently in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy. Under the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive payments for items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or thefinancial exploitation of a crime."
PayPal sent similar notices to SIOA and to the Freedom Defense Initiative (FDI), another group Geller helped establish.
Geller explained: "The decision that Atlas Shrugs, SIOA, and FDI constitute 'hate sites' was an example of the ongoing attempt by Leftists and Islamic supremacist groups like the Hamas-linked hate group the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) to rule their political opposition outside the bounds of acceptable and reasonable political discourse."
She added: "The goal behind accusations of 'hatred' and 'bigotry' leveled against groups like SIOA and FDI, which are dedicated to defending human rights and American Constitutional values, is to silence them so that Islamic supremacists can have free rein to restrict the rights of Americans without opposition. PayPal's capitulation to this smear campaign was an ominous sign."
But on Monday, a PayPal representative contacted Geller to inform her that Atlas Shrugs, SIOA and FDI had been mistakenly designated "hate sites," and that the designations would be removed. The reversal follows an avalanche of critical emails PayPal received from followers of the enormously popular Atlas Shrugs blog.
PayPal's pro-freedom reversal comes just as the Council on American-Islamic Relations issued a press release applauding its earlier capitulation to the foes of free speech and the politicization of services. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case -- so named by the Justice Department during the trial of the Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation.
In this trial, the evidence demonstrated that CAIR founders Omar Ahmad and Niwad Awad (who still serves as CAIR's executive director), were present at a Hamas planning meeting in Philadelphia in 1993 where they and other Hamas operatives conspired to raise funds for Hamas and to promote jihad in the Middle East. CAIR has steadfastly refused to denounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups.
Several former CAIR officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror:
In 1998 Omar Ahmad, CAIR's co-founder and longtime Board Chairman, said: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth."
After he received unwelcome publicity as a result of this statement, Ahmad denied saying it, several years after the fact. However, the original reporter, Lisa Gardiner of the Fremont Argus, stands by her story.
CAIR's spokesman Ibrahim Hooper once said: "I wouldn't want to create the impression that I wouldn't like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future."
CAIR also defamed the leaders of SIOA and FDI, Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, in its press release about the initial but short-lived success of the attempt to include PayPal in its hate and smear campaign.
Pamela Geller, Executive Director of SIOA and FDI and founder and publisher of the award-winning news and commentary blog AtlasShrugs.com, is also a regular columnist for Andrew Breitbart's Big Government and Big Journalism. Geller is the author (with Spencer) of the soon-to-be-released book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America (foreword by Ambassador John Bolton) (Simon & Schuster). The book carries enthusiastic endorsements from Geert Wilders, Andrew C. McCarthy, Brad Thor, Caroline Glick, David Horowitz, and Mark Steyn.
Robert Spencer is a highly acclaimed expert on Islam and Sharia, the director of Jihad Watch, a program of the David Horowitz Freedom Center, and the author of ten books, including the New York Times bestsellers The Truth About Muhammad and The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam (and the Crusades). Spencer is a weekly columnist for Human Events and FrontPage Magazine, and has led seminars on Islam and jihad for the United States Central Command, United States Army Command and General Staff College, the U.S. Army's Asymmetric Warfare Group, the FBI, the Joint Terrorism Task Force, and the U.S. intelligence community.
SIOA is one of America's foremost organizations defending human rights, religious liberty, and the freedom of speech against Islamic supremacist intimidation and attempts to bring elements of Sharia to the United States.
Join SIOA's Facebook page here.The Islamic supremacists and their left-wing shills are getting nervous that good people are beginning to stand up, get up, stand for their lives. The recent counter jihad actions, i.e., fighting the Muslim Brotherhood in Staten Island, Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn, and the mega mosque at Ground Zeroare just the beginning.
And so we get another insulting piece about the counter-jihad force over at the Washington Post. They refuse to engage in the most basic journalistic standards. Get a statement from me or anyone else they cover. But no, their dhimmitude and capitulation to islamic supremacists is painful -- look at their most obvious headline:
How influential will anti-Muslim groups become? Washington Post
We are not anti-Muslim. But they must say this to discredit us, so afraid are they of reason and logic. We are anti-Islamic supremacism. We believe all men are created equal, no special rights for special classes. We are counter-jihad.
What is the future of the anti-Muslim movement in the United States?
For years there has been a small but passionate group of people concerned with the influence of Islam, and their activism seemed to be largely focused on blogging and lobbying political conservatives. But their presence -- and the arguments they raise -- seem to be coming into the broader sphere of late.
Translation? They managed to keep the counter-jihad movement contained and marginalized for years but now folks are waking up so they have to nip this sucker in the bud.
There's the fight over a mosque at the Ground Zero site, and this weekend the on-line electronic payment firm PayPalreportedly cut off the anti-Muslim blog Atlas Shrugs, saying it's a hate site.
Needless to say, this has prompted a roar from Atlas Shrugs supporters who see political bias.
Commentators across the spectrum, from the libertarian Becket Fund to the progressive Media Matters are asking: Where is this anti-Muslim movement going? How significantly will it steer the debate in this country about religious freedom and bias?
Towards freedom we hope, clowns. Sharia (Islamic) law is radically intolerant and anti-freedom. The bias in sharia is against non-Muslims, not equal rights for all.

As many of you know, on Friday of last week, my paypal account was "restricted." After a recent review of my account they said, "it has been determined" that I was "currently in violation of PayPal's Acceptable Use Policy. Under the Acceptable Use Policy, PayPal may not be used to send or receive payments for items that promote hate, violence, racial intolerance or the financial exploitation of a crime."
Huh?
I posted it over the weekend and received over a thousand letters of support, hundreds of ccs of paypal account cancellations........ the people spoke.Love that.
And so today, about an hour ago, a very pleasant and rather deliberately clueless executive called me from paypal to say it was all a big misunderstanding and Atlas would be reinstated (and the subsequent restriction of SIOA and FDI removed also).
Not so fast, Leslie.
I asked her why I was singled out and who designated me as a hate speech site, and on what basis? Why was revolution muslim (which threatened to murder the producers of Comedy Central) and Imam Awlaki DVDs part of the paypal stable of vendors? She said she was "unaware of a hate speech designation and would inquire and call me back."
And so she did.
She said Atlas was mistakenly designated when "in review." I asked why was Atlas in review. Paypal has been on this website since 2005. She did not have an answer. I asked what recourse do smaller websites have? As this is my real concern. My soapbox is pretty big, but what about small blogs?
I told Leslie that reinstating me was not good enough. If a site is designated a "hate site," who decides? Once designated, you have two choices -- lose paypal, or change content. Unfair, mon frere. Leslie agreed. She said she was going to recommend a third choice so that one could contest the designation before a mandatory choice had to be made of either signing off of paypal or changing content.
Frankly, I find this weak. They should remove the designation altogether. If they are going to allow jihadis to raise dough using paypal, what's the point of any hate speech designation?
Needless to say, I am not going back. I told her that, too. She wished I would reconsider. But, no. I am sticking with Gpal -- the G stands for guns :)
The real story is that we stood up and the weasels backed down. We will fight each battle this way.
Awlaki is the imam to the worst of the jihad stars, like the 911 Muslim terrorists, the Fort Hood jihadi Hasan, the Times Square car bomber, the Christmas balls bomber, 7/7 London Bombers , 7/21 London Bombers, the leader of the transatlantic airline bombers, et al. Read about this killer in the Telegraph.

CAIR Applauds PayPal's Decision to Drop Anti-Islam Hate Site
WASHINGTON, June 14 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today applauded a decision by PayPal, the leading online payment service, to drop the anti-Islam hate site "Atlas Shrugs," whose owner claims that "Hitler and the Nazis were inspired by Islam" and that Islam "mandates" lies and deception.
Both true -- the Mufti Haj al-Husseini was Hitler's ally and was responsible for over 400,000 murdered Jews (mostly women and children), and Islam mandates taqiya, deception to advance Islam.

The American Jewish diaspora has a lot to answer for. Where was that slob Ackerman? Neanderthal Nadler? Where was that scheming Schumer standing in support of said resolution?
Rep. Pete King says President Obama's weak Mideast policy is forcing House Democrats to make the difficult choice of either supporting Obama or supporting Israel.
"I hope they put our relationship with Israel above their relationship with Obama," King (R-LI) said yesterday.
Not a single House Democrat, including the entire New York City delegation, would sign on to that resolution introduced by King last weekBut King found Dems and Jewish leaders back in the city who also don't trust the UN council, which regularly bashes Israel.
He was joined at the press conference by Democratic Assemblymen David Weprin and Rory Lancman, Rabbi Joseph Potasnik and Jewish community leader Jeffrey Wiesenfeld.
"When the president goes abroad and apologizes for America, he is not making it clear that we are on Israel's side," King said. "I am concerned that not a single Democrat will go on the bill unless we take out the language about the UN."
King has said that voicing support for Israel without taking on anti-Israeli forces within the US would be "meaningless, feel-good legislation."
The Israeli raid on the flotilla that challenged the Jewish state's naval blockade of Hamas-controlled Gaza resulted in the deaths of nine pro-Palestinian activists on the ships.
Several House Democrats, including Rep. Mike McMahon (D-SI) and Rep. Steve Israel (D-LI), are working on an alternative resolution that vows support of Israel but does not penalize the UN.
Meanwhile, the White House called Israel's proposal for a public commission to investigate the flotilla raid "an important step forward."
Obama called it an "important step forward" -- towards what? Jewish genocide? We are so onto you, O.
All of this provocation by the forces of evil would not have been possible if there had not been a vacuum caused by the absence of American leadership on the international stage.
This is surely an act of war. Iran has declared its intent to "wipe Israel off the map" repeatedly. Do they expect Israel to do nothing?
Since when were arms for jihadis considered aid? Watch this unfold.
TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran is sending aid ships to blockaded Gaza, state radio said on Monday -- a move likely to be considered provocative by Israel which accuses Tehran of arming the Palestinian enclave's Islamist rulers, Hamas.
One ship left port on Sunday and another will depart by Friday, loaded with food, construction material and toys, the report said. "Until the end of (Israel's) Gaza blockade, Iran will continue to ship aid," said an official at Iran's Society for the Defense of the Palestinian Nation.
What nation? It's a terror statelet whose sole objective is genocide.
Iran has sent aid to the coastal territory in the past via Egypt. It was not immediately clear if the latest shipments would do the same, or try to dock in Gaza itself.
In January 2009, an Israeli warship approached an Iranian aid boat heading for the Mediterranean territory and told it to leave the area, 70 km (45 miles) from Gaza. The ship went on to Egypt, which borders Gaza, but was refusedpermission to unload.
Iran lodged a protest over the issue with Egypt, which has a peace agreement with the Jewish state.
Israel has long suspected Iran of supplying weapons to Hamas. Tehran says it only provides moral support to the group.
Moral support in jihadspeak is arms.
The deputy head of Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards played down reports that the Guards would provide a military escort to aid ships heading to Gaza -- something which would be sure to escalate tensions in the region.
Crimson has an excellent day-by-day timeline of Obama's spectacular mishandling of the greatest environmental disaster in our nation's history. If there is one thing that can be said of O, it is that no president has ever failed so consistently and at such a magnitude as this blowhard has -- to accolades from a fawning press, no less.
In any crisis, the policies of the left always fail, without exception, because you need the producers,
He did nothing for days, weeks, while whole swaths of coast were destroyed. He used the opportunity to kill all offshore drilling. So many bright, creative ideas were tossed aside, much the way he tossed aside all things capitalism, American exceptionalism and international sovereignty.

“I have seen the video posted on several blogs. I deeply and profoundly regret my reaction and I apologize to all involved. Throughout my many years of service to the people of North Carolina, I have always tried to treat people from all viewpoints with respect. No matter how intrusive and partisan our politics can become, this does not justify a poor response. I have and I will always work to promote a civil public discourse.”

Fake apology right on cue, translation: "uh, now that I got caught red-handed assaulting a kid in a video that's gone viral and can't be stopped, I'll pretend that I regret my inexcusable behavior so I don't get charged with a crime or lose my job."

MONTREAL — A Montreal mother has been arrested for attempted murder after her daughter was stabbed on Sunday morning.
The 19-year-old woman, originally from Afghanistan, is in serious but stable condition with wounds to her head and upper body, police said.
Police arrested the woman’s 37-year-old mother after the attack in their Montreal home.
Montreal police Const. Daniel Lacoursiere would not confirm reports that the weapon was a machete or that the woman was attacked because she stayed out all night.
The victim’s three sisters, age 10, 14 and 16, were home at the time of the stabbing, he said.

We are suing the city of Detroit for free speech violations in their capitulation to Islamic supremacists who don't want our freedom campaign to run. And we are suing the US government for refusing the SIOA trademark for fear it might offend Muslims.
And we have only just begun. Join us here.
