There is, from the 28th to the 30th of this month, a conference being held by the Organization of the Islamic Conference and the American Islamic College on "Islam and Muslims in America" in Chicago. It is a summit of Islamic supremacists at the highest levels of national and international power. Notice how all of these Islamic organizations and groups all share the same goal, worldwide. This conference appears to be the penultimate chapter, a decidedly evil moment, in American history. The fox is in the hen-house. Here we see, up close, just how deeply the US government has been infiltrated by the stealth jihadists. The panel discussions give us a true picture of their agenda -- The Role of the OIC & The scope for its relations with American Muslims, American Foreign Policy & The Muslim World, and Islam in the American Context. Unindicted co-conspirators, Hamas-linked, Muslim Brotherhood fronts like CAIR and ISNA pow wow with Muslim Congressmen and with people at senior levels of the White House, the State Department and the largest Islamic supremacist body in the world, the OIC (Organization of the Islamic Conference). Mr. Nihad Awad, Executive Director, CAIR. Awad has said, "I am in support of the Hamas movement." CAIR operatives have repeatedly refused todenounce Hamas and Hizballah as terrorist groups. CAIR is an unindicted co-conspirator in a Hamas terror funding case. Several of itsformer officials have been convicted of various crimes related to jihad terror. Two of its other officials have made Islamic supremacist statements. CAIR also was involved in the Flying Imams' intimidation suit against the passengers who reported their suspicious behavior. Attending from the White House is Rashad Hussein, Special Envoy of the White House to the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). After naming him, Barack Hussein Obama boasted that Rashad Hussein was a hafiz who had committed the Koran to memory. Further, Rashad Hussein, special White House official, has a history of participation in events connected with the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood, as well as support for Brotherhood causes, once having called prosecution of the U.S. leader of a Palestinian terrorist organization one of many “politically motivated persecutions.” Morebackground on Rashad here. Also attending from the White House is Dalia Mogahed, Executive Director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies, and Adviser, White House Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships. Obama's first veiled appointee, Egyptian born Dalia Mogahed, conducted her first interview withnotorious Jew-hater and America-hater Sheik Yusuf Al-Qaradawi's extremist Islamic website, Islam Online. In April 2009, Mogahed said in an interview with terrorist- and jihad-supporting Qaradawi's website, "Many have claimed that terrorists have 'hijacked Islam'. I disagree. I think Islam is safe and thriving in the lives of Muslims around the world. What the terrorists have been allowed to take over are Muslim grievances." I posted the whole thing here. And Mogahed says Sharia Law is misunderstood. The White House adviser made the remarks on a London-based TV discussion programme hosted byIbtihal Bsis, a member of the extremist Hizb ut Tahrir party. Hizb ut Tahrir is a violent international pan-Islamic political organization whose goal is for all countries to unify as an Islamic state or caliphate ruled by Islamic law and with a caliph head of state elected by Muslims. The group believes in the non-violent destruction of Western democracy and the creation of an Islamic state under Sharia Law across the world. "The majority of women around the world associate gender justice, or justice for women, with sharia compliance. [...] It also includes the controversial "Hadd offences", crimes with specific penalties set by the Koran and the sayings of the prophet Mohammed. These include death by stoning for adultery and homosexuality and the removal of a hand for theft. Miss Mogahed admitted that even many Muslims associated Sharia with "maximum criminal punishments" and "laws that... to many people seem unequal to women," but added: "Part of the reason that there is this perception of Sharia is because Sharia is not well understood and Islam as a faith is not well understood." Attending from the State Department is Farah Pandith. Barack Obama created the State Department office of Special Representative to Muslim Communities for the United States Department of State, naming Pandith its head, back in June 2009. It was at the urging of the Secretary General of the OIC, Dr. Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, that such an office was established, in order to further the charter for our dhimmitude, the US Muslim Engagement. And so it was. In 2008, the Secretary General of the OIC, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu, issued a "free speech" warning: “We sent a clear message to the West regarding the red lines that should not be crossed” regarding free speech about Islam and terrorism. And he reported success: “The official West and its public opinion are all now well-aware of the sensitivities of these issues. They have also started to look seriously into the question of freedom ofexpression from the perspective of its inherent responsibility, which should not be overlooked.” No American president had ever taken more seriously his “responsibility” to restrict the freedom of speech and bow to Muslim demands than Barack Hussein Obama. When he said during his Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech that “peace is unstable where citizens are denied the right to speak freely,” the irony was blistering. And he worked to erode American sovereignty in other ways as well. Bat Ye'or, the Egyptian-born British historian who specializes in the history of Christian and Jewish dhimmis (author of Eurabia: The Euro-Arab Axis; Islam and Dhimmitude: Where Civilizations Collide; and The Decline of Eastern Christianity Under Islam: From Jihad to Dhimmitude), described the OIC this way: The OIC regularly reiterates its commitments to protecting the political, historical, religious, and human rights of Muslims in non-OIC states, especially Muslims who form the majority in specific regions of non-Muslim countries — such as the southern Philippines, southern Thailand, and western Thrace in Greece — as well as Muslims in places like the Balkans, the Caucasus, Myanmar, India, and China. The OIC supports Hamas and the Palestinians in their struggle to destroy Israel, as well as the Muslim fight for “legitimate self-determination” in “Indian-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.” It has condemned the “continual Armenian aggression against Azerbaijan,” and it expresses its full solidarity with “the just cause of the Muslim Turkish people of Cyprus” and with Sudanese President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir, whom many hold responsible for encouraging the massacres in Darfur. The seat of the OIC is in Jeddah, but the organization regards that location as temporary: Its headquarters will be transferred to al-Kods (Islamized Jerusalem) when that city has been “liberated” from Israeli control. Geert Wilders is the latest victim of this enormous world machinery. His crime is maintaining that Europe’s civilization is rooted in the values of Jerusalem, Athens, Rome, and the Enlightenment — and not in Mecca, Baghdad, Andalusia, and al-Kods. He fights for Europe’s independence from the Caliphate and for its endangered freedoms. He had received serious death threats even before Fitna was released. Others in attendance include: Keith Ellison, Muslim Brotherhood congressman, whose trip to the hajj and to Saudi Arabia was paid for by very questionable sources to the Muslim Brotherhood. Ellison faces a House Ethics Committee review. Spencer has been calling attention to Ellison's ties to the Muslim Brotherhood for years. He noted in December 2008, when it was first revealed that Ellison's Hajj was paid for with $13,350 from the Muslim American Society: The Muslim Brotherhood "must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and "sabotaging" its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God's religion is made victorious over all other religions." -- "An Explanatory Memorandum on the General Strategic Goal for the Brotherhood in North America," by Mohamed Akram, May 19, 1991. Also in attendance will be, Imam Siraj Wahhaj; Ameer, Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA). "If only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate." -- Siraj Wahhaj, 2002 The Muslim American Society (MAS) is an organization with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The organization, founded in 1993, is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia and has local chapters in 23 states. MAS is headed by Esam Omeish and Souheil Ghannouchi, who serve as president and executive director respectively. Shaker El Sayed served as the Society's secretary general until June 1, 2005, when he left the organization to become an imam at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Northern Virginia. MAS' political and public relations wing, the Freedom Foundation, is headed byMahdi Bray. Click here for the full profile. And Hamza Yusuf is one of the founders of the "first accredited Islamic University" at Berkeley: more here. Yusuf is an anti-Semitic and anti-American Islamic "scholar." He has a "reputation for hostility toward the United States and Israel, he commonly appears as a guest speaker at events organized by various chapters of the Muslim Students Association of the U.S. and Canada." They [Americans] were ungrateful for the bounties of Allah, and so Allah caused them to taste fear and hunger. That is one reason and, I would say, that this country is facing a very terrible fate. The reason for that is that this country stands condemned. It stands condemned like Europe stood condemned for what it did. . . . This country [America] unfortunately has a great, a great tribulation coming to it. And much of it is already here, yet people are too to illiterate to read the writing on the wall.

This is a vote that should be taken in towns across America. The whitewashing of Islam in history books and in Middle Eastern studies programs across college campuses in this country is part of the toxic leftist/Islamic propaganda campaign that our children's minds are marinating in. Texas Board of Education to Vote on Pro-Islamic Bias in Textbooks Pundit Press This coming Friday the Texas State Board of Education will be taking a vote on textbooks. This will have nothing to do with important dates or grammar, but something that something potentially insidious: brainwashing of students. Not everyone is in favor of changing textbooks, however. Reverend Bobbi Kaye Jones, a prominent member of the Austin District of the United Methodist Church, stated, "As leaders from faith communities across Texas, we urge the state board to reject this misleading and inflammatory resolution." He believes that the textbooks are fine the way they are.

Tracinski has a great column on great American Larry Silverstein's Freedom Tower going up as we speak at Ground Zero. Robert Tracinski is the editor of the must read TIA Daily. I want to emphasize again what a non-story the Ground Zero Mosque will probably turn out to be. I've thought this ever since I realized how little money is actually behind the project. David Frum is not my favorite conservative commentator—he's a squishy welfare-state "moderate"—but he does us a good service by laying out clearly who owns the property, who is behind the project, and the fact that they don't appear to have anything near the $100 million required to build it. The picture that emerges is that would-be Ground Zero imam Feisal Rauf is a huckster who sold a couple of Arab businessmen on a pie-in-the-sky project whose only real impact will be to boost Rauf's career—making him a fake martyr to "Islamophobia"—while putting his backers $5 million into the hole. Here is how Frum puts it: And that brings me back to another point I've been making: that the mosque is irrelevant and would have no impact, not even a symbolic one, if not for the fact that we still haven't built a tall, soaring tower on the World Trade Center site. That's the symbol we need to show the world that we have not been defeated and that we won't back down. About a month ago, I linked to a good column by John Podhoretz excoriating New York's politicians for obstructing the rebuilding of the WTC site for nine years. But a few weeks after that op-ed was published, it was made obsolete by news that—quietly, while we weren't paying attention—there is something being built to replace the Twin Towers. Various legal and political disputes have been resolved, and the structure for the new One World Trade Center—the pretty good design for the 1,776-foot-tall "Freedom Tower"—is already more than 36 stories tall. Follow that link for a few pictures of the construction in progress. But also go to the official WTC website for some very nice renderings of what the final project will look like when it is completed in 2013. When this is happening, it's inexcusable that we're all talking about that two-bit con-man Feisal Rauf, when the real story here is the enormous achievement of Larry Silverstein, the owner of the WTC site and the developer who has devoted the past nine years of his life to a crusade to rebuild. He fought against self-aggrandizing politicians who tried to oust him from the project, against defeatists who wanted to turn the whole site into a memorial, against the little minds who wanted to build small. Thanks to him, it looks like the Freedom Tower will be standing tall before they even break ground on the Ground Zero Mosque, if they ever do. On September 11, the Wall Street Journal published a terrific profile of Silverstein in which he described his motive for rebuilding the site. Silverstein is 79 years old and has taken this on as the last project of his life, in the hope that he will be around long enough to enjoy seeing it completed. He tells the reporter, "You know you always have people who are naysayers. This can't get done and that can't get done.... The one thing I can tell you: never bet against New York." When we look at those who pass as the nation's political leaders, it can be easy to succumb to despair. But we should always remember that they are not the real story. The real story is the American people—those who turned out by the millions at Tea Party rallies, those who have volunteered to fight against radical Islam in the armed forces, and can-do businessmen like Larry Silverstein who won't let war or recession stop them from building. They are the ones who really move the world, in the long run. Never bet against New York? That's good advice. Even better advice: never bet against America.—RWT Posted by Pamela Geller on Thursday, September 23, 2010 at 07:46 PM | Permalink | Comments (11) ShareThis Reblog (0) | | Digg This | Save to del.icio.us | Tweet This! Pakistani Woman Sentenced to 86 Years for Trying to Kill Americans Muslim terrorist Aafia Siddiqui is an MIT-trained neuroscientist who married a top Al Qaeda operative and who intended to blow up gas stations or poison water reservoirs in the United States, got 86 years. She is a possible associate of Majid Khan and is believed to have links to Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. She allegedly arranged travel documents for another suspected terrorist. After Siddiuqi was apprehended in Afghanistan, while in custody she managed to grab a rifle and start spouting jihad jizz while firing shots, attempting to kill US troops: read it all here. She is on trial in New York City as we speak. Look at what is happening in Obama's post America/pre-Islamic United States. The devout Muslim demanded a Jew-free jury (more here). There is much, much more to this story however, including a federal judge allowing the fully veiled Muslim in court, setting aside time during the trial for Islamic prayer, throwing out key evidence, AND not permitting prosecutors to mention her alleged ties and sympathies to al Qaeda. Khalid Sheikh Mohammid is salivating. From Alison Gendar, NY Daily News, ‘Lady Al Qaeda’ cries foul: Accused terrorist Aafia Siddiqui says toss Jews from jury pool Read previous Atlas posts on this would-be murdering jihadi here. UPDATE: ITP on Lady Al Qaeda: A Pakistani scientist educated in the U.S. was sentenced to 86 years in prison Thursday for attempting to kill U.S. soldiers and federal agents in Afghanistan in 2008. Aafia Siddiqui, 38, was found guilty of all seven charges against her, including two counts of attempted murder, following a 14-day trial in Manhattan federal court in February. According to the indictment, Siddiqui grabbed a U.S. Army officer's M-4 rifle and fired it at another officer and other members of a U.S. interview team at an Afghan police compound in July 2008. A Warrant Officer heard Siddiqui, also known as "Lady Al Qaida," shout "Allah Akbar!" before firing. The U.S. team had traveled to Afghanistan to interview Siddiqui following her detention by Afghan authorities. The Aghans said they seized handwritten notes from Siddiqui that referred to a "mass casualty attack" in the U.S. and listed several landmarks including the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Wall Street, and the Brooklyn Bridge. The notes also detailed ways to construct "dirty bombs" and discussed ways to attack "enemies," that included "destroying reconnaissance drones, using underwater bombs, and destroying gliders." The FBI accused Siddiqui of supporting Al Qaida although she was not charged with terrorism. Evidence presented at trial showed Siddiqui received training in the handling and shooting of firearms while a student in Boston. Siddiqui, who earned graduate degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Brandeis University in biology and neuroscience, has denied receiving any such training or having any familiarity with firearms. Her lawyers claimed she was mentally ill and suffered from schizophrenia, but Siddiqui has denied the claim: "I'm not paranoid. I'm not mentally sick," she told U.S. District Judge Richard Berman. Defense lawyers also alleged Siddiqui was tortured while in custody but Siddiqui herself refuted the allegation saying: "I am not sad. I am not distressed … they are not torturing me." Islamist groups in the U.S. including the Muslim American Society have come out in support of Siddiqui claiming her "conviction is seriously flawed and her kidnapping and detention is a grave violation of human rights and international law."

England has indeed entered a very dark age. Yes, it's a bad idea to burn a qur'an, but so what? And what's next? If you insult a Muslim, will that too, be a jailable offense? If we stop doing things they dislike, where will we draw the line? How far will Sharia advance in the U.S., with Americans afraid to stop its advance for fear of offending Muslims and stirring them up to violence? If men are free and not under Sharia, then anyone can do this if they want, and their freedom and rights should be protected. Islamic supremacists should not be allowed a victory for their violent intimidation -- if these people want to burn a book, they're free to do so. America, take heed, as this portends most ill for our future. We are following the same primitive path of submission.

Sorry, supremacists, this is protected speech. There have been thousands of burned flags, desecrated bibles, torahs, blah blah blah. So what? We would have to introduce an amendment to the Constitution abridging free speech in order to prosecute such "crimes." Yes, burning the qur'an is a bad idea. It does a grave disservice to the cause of spreading awareness about Islamic teachings and the threat that Sharia poses to our way of life.

Once again we see Islamic supremacism imposing itself in yet another part of American secular society, demanding special status for a special class. Just say no. All together now. Yet a prosecutor says that "the jail offers Muslims meals without pork and allows them to pray together and perform ritual cleansing." So possibly this is an attempt to gain special status and special privileges for Muslim inmates in this jail. "Muslim inmates suing Pierce County Jail," from AP, September 23 (thanks to Twostellas): The lawsuit was filed this week with the help of the ACLU and Public Interest Law Group in federal court in Tacoma. The News Tribune reports that inmates Raymond Wesley Garland and Larry Edward Tarrer say the jail prohibits Muslims from group prayer, bans certain religious clothing and refuses to accommodate their diet.

This wasn't merely a hoax hate crime committed by a Muslim to stoke the bogus Islamic supremacist narrative of "islamophobia," this was a young Muslim experimenting with a bomb -- practicing his craft at his local mosque.

The bomb went off in the lot between the Islamic Society and Back Bay Grill around 8:00 PM Tuesday night. Portland Police say Islamic elders came forward to tell them that a 13 year old from the Society was experimenting and was responsible for the bomb. Another bomb was also found undetinated [sic]....

If you live in the Northern Hemisphere, today is the autumnal equinox and a Super Harvest Moon will cross the sky after almost 20 years since the last time it happened. When the Sun starts to set on the Western horizon, a full moon will rise opposite to it on the East, reflecting the light of our home star. Being close to the horizon, the orange Moon will be gigantic thanks to a psychological effect called the Moon illusion. The sky will be illuminated by the Sun and the Moon at the same time, creating a weird 360-degree effect that is rarely seen.

A new book by Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward describes the Obama administration as barraged with warnings about the threat of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil.

The hypocrisy of the left is limitless. Prof calls fellow academics ‘sanctimonious bigots’ The refusal of women’s studies professors to publicly condemn honor killings, or academic advocates of gay rights to speak out against the treatment of homosexuals in Muslim countries, is just about as hypocritical as it gets. Their loathing (dare we call it hate?) of the UN-created Jewish state is so deep that it “trump[s] their professional interests,” leading them into a “ideologically discriminatory trap of their own making,” Prof. Gottheil added. Leftists so cling to their Jew-hatred that they will sacrifice their women, their bogus "sanctity," their non-existent humanity, to advance their hate and genocidal aspirations. This report defies any semblance of reason or compassion: Arabs Harass Female 'Peace' Activists; Left Silences Victims Two activists have exposed a disturbing phenomenon that they say is an open secret within the “peace camp”: female “peace” activists are routinely harassed and raped by the Arabs of Judea and Samaria with whom they have come to identify. They say the phenomenon has gotten worse lately and that many foreign women end up as wives of local Arabs against their will, but cannot escape their new homes. Roni Aloni Sedovnik, a feminist activist, penned an article in News1 – an independent website run by respected investigative reporter Yoav Yitzchak – under the heading “The Left's Betrayal of Female Peace Activists Who were Sexually Assaulted.” “A nauseous atrocity has been going on for a long time behind the scenes at the leftists' demonstration at Bil'in, Naalin and Sheikh Jarrah [Shimon HaTzaddik],” she writes. “A dark secret that threatens to smash the basic ideological values upon which the demand to end the occupation of the Territories rests.” It turns out, she explains, that when female peace activists from Israel and abroad come out to Judea and Samaria and demonstrate against the Israeli “occupation,” they are assaulted sexually by the Arab men whom they have come to help. These are not isolated incidents, Aloni-Sedovnik stresses. Rather, this is an “ongoing and widespread” phenomenon that includes verbal and physical abuse. She accuses the 'peace' camp of purposely covering up the trend so as not to offend “the Palestinians and their heritage, which sees women as sexual objects.” Media cover-up The rape occurred several months ago in the village of Umm Salmona, near Bethlehem. The victim, an American activist, wanted to press charges but leftist activists put pressure on her not to do so, so as not to damage the struggle against the 'occupation.' The second case involved an Israeli activist who took part in the demonstrations at Shimon HaTzaddik neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem, where the High Court ruled that Jewish families may move into homes that they have owned for generations. This woman filed a complaint with the police but retracted it after “severe and unfair pressure” from the demonstrations' organizers, according to Aloni-Sedovnik. Furthermore, the organizers appealed to demonstrators to dress modestly when they come to the Arab neighborhoods and suggested that they wear head scarves. Aloni-Sedovnik accuses the Israeli media of complicity in the cover-up. “How is it that we do not hear the voice of the radical feminists who repeat, day and night, that occupation is occupation, and it does not matter if it is a nation that is doing the subjugation, or a man who is subjugating a woman? "It appears that there is a gap between the radical-leftist feminist theory about the active resistance to the occupation of the Territories, and the stuttering self-annulment in the face of the violent conquest of women.” The Umm Salmona case was reported in Haaretz as an attempted rape but does not seem to have made it beyond the blog pages. Foreign women raped and subjugated Most female leftist European activists, writes Bello, are brainwashed in their youth into hating Israel, and then sent directly into Judea and Samaria, without spending a single night in Tel Aviv, lest they see civilian Israeli society for themselves and find that they like it. They are whisked off to Shechem, Jenin and other PA towns and housed in Arab educational or cultural facilities, or private homes. Local Arab girls are sent to befriend them and they have no choice but to trust them. It is is easy, explains Bello, “to carry out a sexual crime against a foreign girl, in her first days away from her family, in a place where no police have ever visited. And this is what happens, and has happened.” "I was told of such rape cases by women who are not Jewish: a female European leftist activist, a female Red Cross volunteer and a young Arab woman from Yafo,” he says. He says that he met these women when he carried out IDF reserve duty, and met them afterward as well. “They told me what goes on there, in the Palestinian villages, far from any prying eye.” "These are not just cases of rape carried out to satisfy lust,” he writes. “Usually, they are carried out systematically in order to make the girl pregnant and then take her as a wife – after she converts to Islam, of course. We know about this system from the stories of women who underwent a similar process within Israel and escaped to Europe. But it is hard to escape from the Palestinian territories. Sometimes these women – some of whom are no longer young – are never allowed to leave their homes unaccompanied, in order to forestall their escape.” If someone were to compare the list of foreign female activists who enter Judea and Samaria to the list of those who leave, Bello claims, the magnitude of the phenomenon would be proven. “Everyone knows about it, but no one dares talk about it. The Palestinians have been turned into martyrs. In the Middle Eastern television channels, IDF soldiers are represented as the brutal rapists, who rape Palestinian women.” New Israel Fund involvement Posted by Pamela Geller on Wednesday, September 22, 2010 at 02:39 AM in Islamic Jew hatred, Islamic/Leftist Alliance | Permalink | Comments (35) ShareThis Reblog (0) | | Digg This | Save to del.icio.us | Tweet This! The genocidal Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned that if the US starts a war against Iran it will – in his words – know “no limits”. Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad warned on Tuesday that an attack on his country’s nuclear facilities could spark a war with “no limits,” US media reported. “The United States doesn’t understand what war looks like. When a war starts, it knows no limits,” Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying in response to a question about any US-supported strike by Israel on Iran’s nuclear facilities. He is in New York for the United Nations General Assembly and UN summit against poverty and hunger. “The United States has never entered a serious war, and has never been victorious,” the Atlantic magazine’s online edition quoted him as saying. “Do you think anyone will attack Iran to begin with?” he said, according to the monthly’s website. “I really don’t think so. The Zionist regime is a very small entity on the map, even to the point that it doesn’t really factor into our equation.” Talks about Iran’s nuclear ambitions reached a stalemate months ago.

"The undemocratic and unjust governance structures of the decision-making bodies in international economic and political fields are the reasons behind most of the plights today humanity is confronting," he said, according to an English translation of his prepared remarks. In an interview with PBS, he accused Israel of being a "Zionist and racist regime that occupies, creates wars, terrorizes, and destroys the homes of people, and prevents people from accessing water, medicine, and food in their own home, attacks its neighboring countries, and threatens everyone around." He added: "A Jewish state means a racist regime." More here at FOX news. Not only is this madman begging for the free world to take him out, his own people are begging us to do it.

Pamela H. covered the Rabbis' protest: New York Board of Rabbis Human Chain in Protest at United Nations "This is a Day of Outrage" On TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2010 @ 9:45 AM, at the SOUTHWEST CORNER OF 40TH & 1ST AVENUE, the New York Board of Rabbis (NYBR) gathered at 1st Avenue and 40th street to protest the President of Iran . “There is no place for this evil-entity to be at the U.N. A sad day for New Yorkers and Americans.” After a few short speeches, they formed a Human Link Across First Avenue in Protest; singing and the blowing the shofar.

The order to proceed with the criminal prosecution [of Geert Wilders] resulted from pressure put on European states and on the UN Human Rights Council by the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC). The OIC’s aim is to punish and suppress any alleged Islamophobia, around the world but particularly in Europe, and it has been a leader in creating the conditions that made the U.K.’s Wilders ban possible. The OIC is one of the largest intergovernmental organizations in the world. It encompasses 56 Muslim states plus the Palestinian Authority. Spread over four continents, it claims to speak in the name of the ummah (the universal Muslim community), which numbers about 1.3 billion. The OIC’s mission is to unite all Muslims worldwide by rooting them in the Koran and the Sunnah — the core of traditional Islamic civilization and values. It aims at strengthening solidarity and cooperation among all its members, in order to protect the interests of Muslims everywhere and to galvanize the ummah into a unified body. The OIC is a unique organization — one that has no equivalent in the world. It unites the religious, economic, military, and political strength of 56 states. By contrast, the European Union represents half as many states and is a secular body only, and the Vatican — which speaks for the world’s 1.1 billion Catholics — is devoid of any political power. Many Muslims in the West resist the OIC’s tutelage and oppose its efforts to supplant Western law with sharia. But the OIC’s resources are formidable. The organization has numerous subsidiary institutions collaborating at the highest levels with international organizations in order to implement its political objectives worldwide. Its main working bodies are the Islamic Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (ISESCO), which seeks to impose on the West the Islamic perception of history and civilization; the Observatory of Islamophobia, which puts pressure on Western governments and international bodies to adopt laws punishing “Islamophobia” and blasphemy; and the newly created Islamic International Court of Justice. As stated in its 1990 Cairo Declaration on Human Rights in Islam, the OIC is strictly tied to the principles of the Koran, the Sunnah, and the sharia. In a word, the OIC seeks to become the reincarnation of the Caliphate.

TEXAS BOARD OF ED TO VOTE ON ISLAMIC SUPREMACIST BIAS IN TEXTBOOKS
Critics of new textbooks have called on the BoE to investigate and vote on several passages in new textbooks that they believe have a "pro-Islamic bias." According to Republican member of the Texas Board of Education Don McLeroy, the only reason why Islam is getting a favorable writing is because "Academia wants to lean over backwards to be politically correct and not be labeled ethnocentric, so it's kind of a cultural relativism."
McLeroy and other critics of the textbooks cite the fact that Islamic beliefs and rituals are discussed more than twice as long as Christian beliefs, 248 lines to 120. They are also upset with "politically-correct whitewashes of Islamic culture and stigmas on Christian civilization" as well as "sanitized definitions of 'jihad' that exclude religious intolerance or military aggression against non-Muslims."
Possibly most damning is one textbook that McLeroy cited, a 2003 textbook entitled "World Civilizations." In its table of contents, Christianity and Judaism are not listed what-so-ever. Islam, however, is mentioned multiple times.
Barbara Cargill, another member of the Board of Education, stated that the vote against Islamic bias is "not meant to be divisive; it's actually meant to ensure equality and fairness and is not favoring Christianity over any religion."A rally over textbooks

Critics have questioned his personal and financial agendas. "You know, this has gone totally beyond the concept of money," Mr. Silverstein says. "If making money was the important factor, I'd have been stupid to hold on. It makes no sense at all. Because the reality of what I could have accomplished with the same time, effort, and energy in the last nine years spent elsewhere [is] much, much greater than anything I could have accomplished here. This has been an issue of pride, of determination, of recognizing as a New Yorker what's important to get done down here and how badly it's needed."MUSLIMA SCIENTIST SENTENCED TO 86 YEARS FOR TRYING TO KILL AMERICANS

The burning of books is wrong in principle: the antidote to bad speech is not censorship or book-burning, but more speech. Open discussion. Give-and-take. And the truth will out. There is no justification for burning books.
If they were burning a Bible, no one would be threatening violence against them. And nobody would be threatening to have them prosecuted to the full extent of the law, as the Islamic supremacists like Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas-linked CAIR is doing.AMERICA?
ISLAMIC SUPREMACISM IN THE PRISONS: MUSLIM INMATES SUING JAIL

OVER THE MOON................
OBAMA'S RESPONSE TO IMMINENT TERROR THREAT? BRING IT ON
Here's an excerpt:
When asked about sending in 4,500 more troops to save lives, the President erupted, yelling, "I’m done doing this!" The President's decision to end Afghan war in 2011 is also shown as a political move. Speaking about why he decided he cannot push back the 2011 withdrawal date, the President stated that he wanted to keep his liberal support. “I can’t let this be a war without end, and I can’t lose the whole Democratic Party,” the President said.
The anger does not stop at the top. In a heated conversation about Richard Holbrooke, the administration’s special representative to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Vice President Joe Biden called him "the most egotistical bastard I've ever met."MUSLIMS SEXUALLY HARASS, RAPE FEMALE "PEACE" ACTIVISTS
LEFT SILENCES VICTIMS
Aloni-Sedovnik cites two specific cases which she has knowledge of – one is a case of rape and another is “severe sexual harassment.” The attackers in both cases, she stresses, were familiar with the victims and knew that they were “peace activists.”
Earlier this year, a blogger and literature buff named Yehudah Bello, who writes in various venues about history and the theory of evolution, wrote a blog post with the striking title: “The Female Leftist Activists are Raped Day after Day, Night after Night.” Bello is no ultra-nationalist, and he supports the creation of a PA state – a fact which makes his claims all the more believable.
The reports by Aloni-Sedovnik and Bello are of particular interest because feminist groups have been spearheading leftist activism in Israel for many years. According to Gila Svirsky, the former director of the New Israel Fund in Israel and founder of NIF-sponsored Women's Coalition for Peace, “women’s peace organizations, known collectively as the Israeli women’s peace movement, became the most vibrant and persistent part of the peace camp in Israel.” These groups espouse an ideology which equates militarism (by Israelis) with male domination of women. Far from being a fringe element, leftist-feminists of this ilk are a dominant force in the Israeli academic world, the press, the Knesset and the judicial system.Tuesday, September 21, 2010
