I was asked to discuss Imam Rauf's financing (and the lack of financial transparency) on the FOX Business show Money Rocks. The host, Eric Bolling, asked me about Rauf's finances, which I laid out in concrete detail. My presentation was followed by a panel discussion which I was not a part of.
Imagine my incredulity as I began to remove my mic when, who do I hear being introduced to weigh in on my finds? Inciter and hate sponsor Ibrahim Hooper, spokesman for indicted co-conspirator, Muslim Brotherhood front, Hamas-linked CAIR. Hooper, BTW, has been quoted as saying he wants the “government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.”
Why not have Mashaal or Nasrallah weigh in, seated right next to Hooper? Seriously. What's the difference?
Ibrahim Hooper couldn't contain his bile. He enters at minute 7:30. He nearly choked on his own vomit. I thought he was going to explode without having strapped one on.
But my mic was off so I couldn't respond. More galling is how they never warn or advise the audience who CAIR really is and how many convictions and jail sentences so many of their leaders are serving for supporting Hamas with millions.
I had no opportunity to rebut the false charges and lies of Hamas-linked, Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR's Ibrahim "Honest Ibe" Hooper. That Fox would allow him to smear me and not give me any chance to reply is unconscionable, and is the height of journalistic irresponsibility. I would not leave, but the LA live link had been shut off.
My mic was off, but these subversives are given an open platform.
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.
CAIR has previously attempted to intimidate numerous government agencies and citizens' groups into dropping events featuring foes of international jihad activity, including SIOA's Executive Director Pamela Geller, ACT for America's Brigitte Gabriel, and others. In the summer of 2010 it has embarked upon a concerted campaign of intimidation and defamation to silence public figures who speak out against jihad and Islamic terrorism, including Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), the Rev. Franklin Graham, Florida Congressional candidate Dan Fanelli, and Connecticut Congressional candidate Rick Torres.
CAIR recently attempted to intimidate the FBI and JTTF and dictate their choice of speakers contained numerous false charges, defamation, distortions, and outright lies about Robert Spencer, SIOA, and me.
CAIR has a long record of duplicity and deception. Although it has received millions of dollars in donations from foreign Islamic entities, it has not registered as a foreign agent as required by the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), despite spreading Islamic supremacist propaganda within the United States.
Although it presents itself as a civil rights group, CAIR actually has numerous links to Islamic supremacist and jihad groups. CAIR foundersOmar 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:
- Ghassan Elashi, founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, in 2009 received a 65-year prison sentence for funneling over $12 million from the Islamic charity known as the Holy Land Foundation to the jihad terrorist group Hamas, which is responsible for murdering hundreds of Israeli civilians
- Mousa Abu Marzook, a former CAIR official, was in 1995 designated by the U.S. government in 1995 as a "terrorist and Hamas leader." He now is a Hamas leader in Syria.
- Randall Royer, CAIR's former civil rights coordinator, in 2004 began serving a 20-year prison sentence for aiding al-Qaida and the Taliban against American troops in Afghanistan and recruiting for Lashkar e-Taiba, the jihadist group responsible for the 2008Mumbai jihad massacres.
- Bassem Khafagi, CAIR's former community relations director, was arrested for involvement with the Islamic Assembly of North America, which was linked to al-Qaida. After pleading guilty to visa and bank fraud charges, Khafagi was deported.
- Rabih Haddad, a former CAIR fundraiser, was deported for his work with the Global Relief Foundation (which he co-founded), a terror-financing organization.
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."
SIOA alert. Here is yet another accommodation, in a disturbingly long list of imposing Islam on our secular society.
Michigan high school football team practices from 11PM to 4AM to accommodate Ramadan fasting Muslim players
The team is predominantly Muslim, but there is at least one non-Muslim player on it, and he is going along, so all is well. The only problem here is that it discourages non-Muslims from playing on the team, and reinforces the ever-reinforced and ultimately Islamic supremacist principle that non-Muslims must accommodate Muslim practices -- never the other way around. "Mich. school practices 11 p.m. to 4 a.m.," from ESPN.com, August 16 (thanks to all who sent this in):
DEARBORN, Mich. -- A Michigan high school football team is holding preseason practices in the middle of the night to help its Muslim players practice both faith and football.The predominantly Muslim squad from Dearborn says the nocturnal regimen is a way for players to eat and drink while observing the holy month of daytime fasting known as Ramadan that started last week.
The August heat also played a factor in Fordson High coach Fouad Zaban's proposal to reverse the clock for a week of two-a-day practices.
Cutting practice wasn't an option at football-crazy Fordson, which is coming off a one-loss season and has won four state titles and three runner-up seasons since it was established in 1928.
But nobody wanted to lessen the significance of Ramadan in the Detroit suburb widely known as the capital of Arab-America.
The moonlight practice is tailored for Adnan Restum and fellow Muslim teammates.
Illuminated by the night lights on the football field, Restum recently joined a scrum of teammates at the end-zone water fountain, taking a break from a grueling preseason football workout to guzzle a drink.
In just a few hours, he wouldn't be able to take a sip. But the 17-year-old defensive tackle could rehydrate guilt-free during the 11 p.m. to 4 a.m. practice, and succumb to tempting boxes full of granola bars and chocolate milk, too.
"It feels really great," said Restum, who has been fasting since he was about 10. "If we're doing it during the day, we wouldn't have water and it would be really hot and everything."
Zaban proposed the late practices after realizing the rotating Ramadan would fall squarely during the start of a two-a-day practice schedule that launches football season.
Zaban, 40, a Muslim and former Fordson player, knows the high stakes. When Ramadan falls during football season, the players practice during daylight hours. But with August's heat and doubled practice schedule, concerns grew about players' health, particularly the high risk of heat stroke.
"We know how hot it's been this summer -- it's not safe," Zaban said.
Working it out meant getting the approval of school and district administrators and the blessings of players, parents and police. Then, there were the residents in the surrounding neighborhood, who would hear more noise and see the illuminated field. So he sent letters explaining the decision....
Defensive tackle William Powell, one of the team's few non-Muslims, initially thought the coach was "out of his mind," but he's come around. In fact, he's even fasted.
"I'm around 'em, so I've tried a couple times but it's hard," the 17-year-old said....
Guess who is working for Bloomberg TV?
CNN Jihad Lover and Mouthpiece, Octavia Nasr, Resigns - Atlas ShrugsOctavia Nasr, who recently got the boot from CNN for openly mourning the death of Sayyed Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah who helped kill 241 U.S. Marines during the 1983 Beirut barracks bombings, is sounding off as an "Israel expert" on Bloomberg TV. (hat tip Sheik)
WTF is Bloomberg all about?
Nazis joking on twitter
Apparently Haaretz erroneously reported that Imam Rauf, Daisy Khan and the waiter Gamal had shown some mercy and would move the mosque. I never believed it for a second. They have yet to exhibit one scintilla of humanity.
What is interesting is their recent tweets. Look at the last one. They couldn't help themselves: when a Jew is involved, their fangs come out. Islamic antisemitism.
Park51: Correction, we will be publishing an official twitter response to the Haaretz story and the Hamas comments.
Park51: Official: Reports by Haaretz are completely false. We are committed to plans of building Park 51 to serve the community of Lower Manhattan.
Park51: We are also deeply thankful to the President of the United States and the Mayor of New York City for their support.
Park51: Official: Hamas does not and will not speak for Park51. Our mission is one of peace, understanding, tolerance and faith.
Park51: On a side note, if Haaretz likes publishing fables, perhaps they could go back to the Yiddish ones with parables #welikethosebetter
The Jew haters thank the antisemite president:
This is is the waiter Gamal's twitter page: See who he follows.....
Here's this jihadist: http://twitter.com/YasirQadhi
"described the Holocaust as a hoax, and claimed that "Hitler never intended to mass-destroy the Jews", and "All this [the Holocaust] is false propaganda".[4] He later retracted his statements, stating that he had been misled.[4] He said that even in the 2001 lecture, he never denied "the actual occurrence of the Holocaust, or express any support or admiration for Hitler, or claim that all Jews were worthy of being despised or hated", directly disputing the Telegraph's assertion of Qadhi believing the holocaust to be a hoax. He called it a "one-time mistake", stating that "I firmly believe that the Holocaust was one of the worst crimes against humanity that the 20th century has witnessed."[5]"

Then there is Imam Zaid Shakir: On November 13, 2009 Imam Shakir issued a lengthy statement regarding the Fort Hood shooting with this introduction:
I begin by expressing my deepest condolences to the families of all of the dead and wounded. There is no legitimate reason for their deaths, just as I firmly believe there is no legitimate reason for the deaths of the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghani civilians who have perished as a result of those two conflicts. Even though I disagree with the continued prosecution of those wars, and even though I believe that the US war machine is the single greatest threat to world peace, I must commend the top military brass at Fort Hood, and President Obama for encouraging restraint and for refusing to attribute the crime allegedly perpetrated by Major Nidal Malik Hasan to Islam. We pray that God bless us to see peace and sanity prevail during these tense times.[14]
Here he is writing on the Boycott Israel site:

A real beauty.....
So these are the people he wants us to know about him supporting/listening to.
Imagine what lies beneath the Takiya. (hat tip Armaros)
Politico is typical of Leftist "
journolists" in promoting half-truths, distortions and outright lies. Now they're saying I have been "promoting the theory that Obama is Malcolm X's love child." This is not true and was never true. I never "promoted" that. The post supposedly promoting this "theory" is just one of 20,000 Atlas posts, and I did not make the charge myself; it was part of an article I posted by another writer. If Politico had bothered to do any research, they would have found this statement, that has only been up at Atlas for nearly two years: "
UPDATE: The 'Atlas says that Barack Obama is Malcolm X's love child' charge has gone viral among leftards and lizards. The only problem with it is that it is false. I am not the author of this post, and I posted it because the writer did a spectacular job documenting Obama's many connections with the Far Left. The Malcolm X claim is one minor part of this story, and was of interest to me principally as part of the writer's documentation that Stanley Ann Dunham could not have been where the Obama camp says she was at various times. I do not believe that Barack Obama is Malcolm X's love child, and never did -- but there remain many, many unanswered questions about his early life and upbringing."
It's the same thing with the birth certificate. I was only writing about it when Obama's published Certification of Live Birth was shown to be a forgery, and many readers were exploring various scenarios and possibilities. To claim that this is some central preoccupation of my work shows that Politico has been reading Leftist hate sites about my work, not my work itself.
And my "approach speaks to a very limited audience"? John Bolton, Newt Gingrich, and Geert Wilders are among those speaking at our rally against the mega-mosque on 9/11. Who is speaking for this "more mainstream mosque foe"?
I am not anti-Islam, I am anti-jihad. Is Ben Smith pro-jihad?
Geller is a very easy target: She drew a certain amount of notoriety for
promoting the theory that Obama is Malcolm X's love child.
Elliott is, though, giving her a little too much credit. Geller clearly did play the central role in inflaming the conservative grass roots against the plan, but a parallel political and media campaign against the mosque has deliberately kept its distance from her.
Its key organizer — as Maggie and I reported — is Allen Roth, a political aide to Ron Lauder (acting, though, on his own), who told me last week that he hadn't communicated with Geller once in the process.
But Roth has been the behind-the-scenes clearinghouse for information and strategy in much of the conservative media, and he has strong ties to the New York Republican and conservative officials whose public opposition pulled the issue out of the blogosphere and into the broader public debate.
And that group isn't interested in Obama's birth certificate, though they appreciate the grass-roots energy driven farther to the right.
Geller's "approach speaks to a very limited audience," said one of the more mainstream mosque foes.
Check that out. A nameless "mosque foe." Who might that be, the guy sitting next to Ben Smith?
