MOSQUE MASQUERADE: MALICE OR MENDACITY? MORE DAISY CONS AND LIES
Earlier today on Christiane Amanpour's abhorrent offering to Islam, we were subjected to Daisy Khan making fun of Ayaan Hirsi Ali for having to have security guards. Daisy the con claimed that she too received threats, but she wouldn't have guards because "this was America," and she didn't want to cost the taxpayer money. Why would we pick up her tab? The taxpayer doesn't pay Wafa Sultan's tab orMolly Norris's witness protection tab or my tab or Spencer's or Ibn Warraq's. Why hers, if there really had been a threat?
Color me skeptical. I don't believe she has received credible threats. But the NY Post does; they bought right into it with this on their front page (picked up from Imampour's panel discussion this morning -- scroll for video):
Watching Amanpour's pathetic panel earlier today was painful. So many jihadist moments vying for worst moment -- the vile Goebbels-inspired Reza Aslan calling Rob Spencer a neo-nazi was one of them, for example (here).
AMANPOUR: I want to go to Reza Aslan, because you were in Europe, lecturing on this topic of islamophobia-- Where does the Stop Islamization Movement come from?
ASLAN: Well, it comes from the - an organization, a neo - not - what the E.U. refers to as the neo-Nazi organization called Stop Islamization of Europe. And that kind of institutionalized Islamophobia is precisely what your organization, Stop Islamization of America, is importing into the United States. And honestly, you're on the wrong side of history. And very soon, in a couple of decades, you will be sweeped and your ideas will be sweeped into the garbage bin of history, along with the anti-Semites of the 20th century and the anti-Catholicsof the 19th century.
This is coming from a stealth jihadist, carrying water for the most notorious antisemitic ideology on the face of the earth.
But for worst moment, I have to vote for Daisy the con making fun of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Islam's brave heroine. Daisy isn't fit to wipe her boots.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali was forced to leave the Netherlands because of the threats on her head. She was raised a Muslim in Somalia but fled her country and renounced Islam -- she has since received death threats for condemning Islamic jihad.
KHAN: First of all, I think that if we have to create a counter against extremism, it's Muslims who have to lead that. And it has to be Muslims like myself and people in the audience and around the country. But with the assistance of people of other faiths and other persuasions. And we have to -- we have to run an interference. I'll give an example of this. Terry Jones was about to burn the Koran. And who ran the interference? It was the evangelical community against their own, because they said, "You do not represent Christianity. And you are not going to sit and go this place and tell them they can't establish a mosque. And you're not going to sit and talk to this imam because we said so." This is what we Muslims want to do, but you have tied our hands. You don't allow us to do this because you brand somebody like me as an extremist, and throw me into the arms of al-Qaeda.
[..]HIRSI: You are sitting here at ABC TV, you've got a great job --
(crosstalk)
HIRSI: You have freedom to move anywhere, no one is throwing you anywhere. your rights are protected. I think that it's your perception of being a victim, and I think that's --
KHAN: I am not a victim, Ayaan. Stop calling me that. You're the one running with all the bodyguards.
(CROSSTALK)
ALI: no you are
GADIEL: she needs it
KHAN: Let me answer. For the record. My life is under threat.
BAUER: Yes, we all are, anybody in --
KHAN: No, hold on one second.
BAUER: Anybody in public life, in a free society has nuts that threaten their lives. everyone.
KHAN: Check with the police department. My husband's life is under threat. We do not walk around with bodyguards, because we love this country.
BAUER: Oh, come on.
KHAN: We don't walk around with big bodyguards.
BAUER: You don't have to, and you don't have to --
KHAN: Because we don't want use taxpayer's money.
This is an outrageous statement (among many). Daisy Khan and Imam Rauf intend to float public debt to raise the money for the Ground Zero mega mosque (more here). Daisy Khan and her husband Imam Rauf have been ripping off the taxpayers for decades. They are being sued by Union City. Daisy and Rauf took millions of taxpayer monies -- they snagged more than $2 million in public financing to renovate low-income apartments. Rauf kept the money and never made the repairs. He took the money and forced good people to live with vermin and dilapidation.
Rauf and his wife, Daisy the Con, listed their one-bedroom apartment as a mosque in order to conduct what amounts to tax fraud. Rauf got the wildly valuable tax-exempt status for his Muslim organization after deceiving the IRS. He claimed as many as 500 of its members prayed in that tiny one bedroom apartment (also listed as Daisy's residence). Rauf sought "church status" -- to avoid paying taxes.
Back to the transcript:
BAUER: Ma'am. Ma'am. You don't have to walk around with a bodyguard because --
KHAN: I don't want to --
BAUER: Because this city is one of the most tolerant cities in the world.
KHAN: And that's why I'm a proud American, a proud New Yorker and I want to rebuild New York
Here's the con's threats -- a telephone call. Puhleeze. NY Post reports:
"For the record, my life is under threat," Daisy Khan said during a town hall debate on Islam broadcast on ABC's "This Week" news program.
Khan, who's married to Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, said her husband's life also is under threat but, "We do not walk around with bodyguards because we love this country."
Chief police spokesman Paul Browne confirmed that Khan had told authorities about the telephone threats she'd received.
Daisy Khan, co-founder of the Cordoba Initiative, says she and her husband have recieved death threats over the controversial mosque."There were telephone threats made," Browne said, adding the police department was investigating.
This is a threat? Did someone check CAIR's cell phone records? No emails, tweets, letter, comments? Color me skeptical.
Threats?

ABC'S 20/20 WOMEN IN ISLAM
Here is the clip on the women in Islam segment of Diane Sawyer's 20/20 News Magazine that aired Friday night, in which I was interviewed. This was the best of an otherwise dishonest and pathetic hour of dawah, and that's not saying much.

LATEST ISLAMIC HONOR KILLING IN ITALY: MUSLIM HUSBAND AND SON STONE MOM TO DEATH WHO TRIED TO PROTECT THEIR DAUGHTER FROM HONOR KILLING
Atlas reader Adam sent this story:
"My Italian isn't good, but this is the gist of it: In Modena, Italy, a father beat up his daughter for refusing an arranged marriage. His son (her brother) helped him with the attack. Her mother tried to intervene to save her, but the two men (her husband and son) turn on the mother and kill her with a stone. The daughter survived, barely"
Uccisa a sassate dal marito pakistano
La figlia rifiutava le nozze combinate Butthamad Kahn portato via dai carabinieri a Novi (Modena) Modena, cinquantenne e il figlio massacrano la donna e feriscono
la ventenne che vive all'italiana
Padre e figlio «puniscono» a sprangate la figlia e sorella che rifiuta un matrimonio combinato, poi con un sasso, usato forse solo dal genitore, mettono a tacere la disperata difesa della madre: la giovane è grave, ma non in pericolo di vita, la mamma è morta sotto i colpi di una storia che ricorda quella di Hina Saleem, la pachistana di 21 anni che voleva vivere «in modo occidentale» e che per questo fu sgozzata il 10 agosto 2006 a Sarezzo (Brescia) nella casa dei genitori.
Una similitudine rovesciata. Là morì la giovane Hina Saleem e la madre di fatto accettò le scelte del padre. Qua è la mamma di Nosheen Butt a pagare il prezzo più alto per una ribellione ritenuta evidentemente oltraggiosa da «morire». È successo nel pomeriggio attorno alle 16.30 nel cortile di un edificio del centro abitato di Novi di Modena, via Bigi Veles 38. In quella casa la famiglia e i cinque figli vivono da alcuni anni e all’interno del giardino si consuma il dramma, ancora tutto da definire e da decifrare. Ma sembra proprio, almeno così si apprende nell’ambiente investigativo, che la ventenne Nosheen si sia ribellata alla decisione familiare di affidarla in sposa a un connazionale. Pare che in casa in quel momento ci siano anche due degli altri tre figli più piccoli che la coppia, Hamad Kahn Butt, operaio di 53 anni, e Begm Shnez, 46, ha generato, mentre la terza, la più grandicella, sarebbe stata fuori. Sembra che a colpire la ragazza, con una spranga che l’ha ridotta in gravi condizioni, sia stato il fratello di 19 anni, Humair Butt, anche lui operaio, aiutato dal padre, che poi avrebbe impugnato una pietra con la quale colpire la moglie, di 46 anni, uccidendola.

Leftist and Media Double-Standards on Socialist 'One Nation' Rally Reporting American Power
It's nothing new, of course, but the media's campaign to downplay the left's communist-dominated "One Nation" protest yesterday needs to be highlighted nevertheless.
The first thing to notice is this photograph on crowd size comparisons from "Restoring Honor" and "One Nation" (via Old Retired Petty Officer).Crowd estimates have an "outsized" importance when the press and leftist blogs seek to minimize and ridicule the tea parties. But as soon as Democrat-Socialists march on D.C., wild claims of "double" the size of the Glenn Beck rally get wide play. Tom Maguire reports on the widely divergent crowd-size estimates, as well as systematic efforts to withhold on-the-ground reports (MSNBC edited out AP's first-hand report indicating that "Saturday's crowds were less dense and didn't reach as far to the edges as they did during Beck's rally"). And while some lefty blogs continue to pump up bogus "larger" crowd numbers, some have scaled back their claims as the facts have become available. The Political Carnival, which posted two entries yesterday boasting bigger numbers for "One Nation," has now issued a hilarious retraction, asking "Does Size Matter?" Well obviously it did yesterday, but now we have this: "While it is a visual indicator of enthusiasm and support, the size of a crowd isn’t as important as the content, message, and tone of the event."

JIHAD: THE DEATH THROES OF PAKISTAN’S HINDUS
Obama is partnering with these sharia slaughterers.
The Death Throes of Pakistan’s Hindus Dr. Richard Benkin
I just returned from a month in India during which time an incredible number of significant events were occurring. My primary mission in going was to document and raise awareness of the ethnic cleansing of Bangladeshi Hindus. I found plenty, including evidence of ongoing attacks on them both in Bangladesh and in West Bengal, India. The border between the two is so porous that terrorists and contraband move freely with and without the help of India’s Border Security Force or West Bengal police. But I also witnessed the tragic beginning of the end for Pakistan’s Hindus. Once one in five Pakistanis, they have been reduced to one percent of the population.
But as the Taliban take over ever larger chunks of that country, that remnant of a people is streaming across the border into Indian Punjab. The stream became a torrent with the Taliban’s seizure of the Swat Valley earlier this year. Hindu refugees report attacks and threats by the Taliban, as well as officials telling them to leave the country “or else.” The February agreement between the Taliban and the Zardari government ceded the area to the former and allowed Sharia law to be imposed on Swat’s 1.2 million inhabitants.
President Obama has used this agreement as a model in his stated quest for “moderate Taliban.” But not only does the agreement countersign ethnic cleansing, it also failed even before Obama’s anticipated speech on US policy in the region. Just hours before the President spoke, one of the Taliban parties to the agreement, Tehrik e Taliban, abrogated it with a terror attack on a mosque in Pakistan’s Northwest Frontier Province, and has engaged in other terrorist attacks subsequently.
One Hindi language channel quoted a Taliban spokesman confirming that his group was pulling out of the agreement not to attack elsewhere in Pakistan because, he said, it would be contrary to Allah’s wishes to limit Sharia to the Swat Valley. Yet, no major media in India, the US, or elsewhere made this connection.
Even more shameful, no media or government has protested the ethnic cleansing of Pakistan’s Hindus, who are being finished off by the Taliban. All governments involved in the region are just allowing it to happen,too. What kind of a world do we live in when India will not defend Hindus attacked for being Hindus; when the US ignores the atrocity; when not a single human rights group or the UN utters a word of protest?

THE DOOR CLOSES ..... FOR NOW
Over the past couple of months, a lot of Atlas readers have been asking me why I go on these consistently belligerent TV shows to discuss Islam, knowing that
- it is going to be a hostile environment
- I will be debating liars, deceivers and supremacists
- I will be defamed, smeared and libeled
- the playing field would be grossly unfair
- I will be interrupted, cut off, rebuked
- I will be given much less time than my opponent
I will tell you. It is an opportunity, however compromised. Voices like mine and Robert's, Wafa's and Ibn Warraq's are never heard in the mainstream media. The truth is kept hidden from the masses and the media's criminal negligence is cloaked in good intentions. Well, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
This is guerrilla warfare in the information battlespace, in the war of ideas. It was hardly perfect. But it was something. But why make perfect the enemy of the good? It was better than the traditional blackout on our freedom defense initiatives. It was a shot, and I was taking it and running with it, no matter how disgusting it all was.
From the media's perspective, the Ground Zero mosque was an historical phenomenon. For the first time a major news story became the most important national and international news story without the media. Think about that. Unlike the fringe pastor in Florida who tweeted a qur'an threat and the media descended like locusts to a Florida backwater to create a news story, a narrative, the Ground Zero mosque was not shaped by the media, not covered by the media, not at first anyway.
The media scrambled to cover the story. They had no narrative, at first. They would put me on and let me speak. Of course they always had some Islamic supremacist liar on to destroy me, but they never could. And despite all the handicaps, I had the opportunity to present America with concretes on Islam. FOX had me on with Hamas-linked Nihad Awad of CAIR and CNN had Ahmed Soliman debate me. I got in the ring with Ibrahim Ramey on CNN, and again with Ramey on the CBC. Palestinian hip hopper Will Youmans spewed pure fiction in our debate, and I also debated with Robert Salaam on RLTV, not to mention other hostile talking heads, and anasty Bill O'Reilly (who had to have me on to refute a virtual fatwa, an incitement to violence that Nihad Awad of CAIR had issued on my head on his show the night before). Joy Behar took her best shot (and missed), joined by Daisy Khan and Roy Sekoff, founding editor of the Huffington Post. Three against me, but still not skewed enough for them. There were lefty apologists like Nicole Neroulias, faculty member of the Columbia School of Journalism, who got into the ring with me on FOX and Friends. I faced off againstDavid Lane and Michael Gross, ACLU and civil rights lawyers who took their shots at me on Hannity. There were pot shots by Fibrahim Hooper of CAIR on FOX Business. CNN's Anderson Cooper's 360 show went so far as to do a whole segment accusing me of ginning up the Ground Zero mosque, saying that if it had not been for Geller, there would have been no issue (talk about condescending to the American people). There were skimishes with Safaa Zarzour, Secretary General of the Muslim Brotherhood front The Islamic Society of North America, and Hussam Ayloush of the Muslim Brotherhood front CAIR-Los Angeles. Not to mention a brisk brush with Michael Ghouse. Across the pond, I debated Shahed Amanullah on the BBC. Geraldo did a hit piece on me. I took on Malik Shabazz of the new Black Panthers. I went head-to-head with whoremonger Bob Beckel and hate sponsor CAIR Chicago Ahmed Rehab.
I was not deterred. Each appearance was "a teachable moment." And I was glad of it.
It was a unique opportunity for counter jihadists. Right after 911, the media didn't have its story straight either, and there were moments where you heard and saw things you would never hear or see now. The media was surprised, not ready for that terrible act of war against America. But they dusted the human remains off their jackets and began to shape a suicide narrative. We have gone so far down the rabbit hole, 911 images are embargoed and not shown. They are dusted off but once a year and then secreted back into the vault of things the media won't talk about.
The dirty smear merchants over at Media [anti]Matters understood what was happening and issued a directive to the leftwing lemmings, "do not have Geller on national television." The day that Goebbels-inspired post ran, Chris Matthews canceled my TV appearance for that evening. That same day.
Despite this, the left could not contain the story. The American people would not back down.
In the continuing Ground Zero mosque story, the media hoped the "opposition would just melt away" (to quote Matt Lauer in his puff piece on thug Ground Zero mega-mosque developer Sharif El-Gamal). The media tried to play catch up. They settled on the tired racistislamophobicantimuslimbigot narrative. but it didn't fit. The 911 families, and all Americans, were entitled to their pain and their grief. The ummah couldn't cry about sensitivity to Muslims when their leaders showed such callous heartlessness towards the pain and sensitivity of non-Muslims and Muslims of conscience. The more they tried to destroy the opposition the more intolerant they looked.
The alphabets stayed out of it for as long as they could without looking completely out of touch. And when they finally weighed in, the heavyweights of 60 minutes shilled for Islamic supremacists and consequently came under enormous fire from the American people, the blogs, and talk radio.
But Friday night's 20/20 was a turning point. They found their card, the dawah card. The media is going to proselytize for Islam. Dhimmi Sawyer's show on Islam was a horrible lie. Overwhelmingly terrible. I don't imagine that even CAIR would have dared to write such a fallacious and dangerous script filled with obvious lies. ABC followed up the propaganda hour Sunday morning with the notorious stealth jihadist, Christiane Amanpour, whose obvious Jew-hatred and predilection for submission has become the hallmark of her embarrassing career. She did not disappoint. Amanpour framed and packaged this hot-button issue for al jazeera audiences, not American ones. BTW, America isn't buying -0 Amanpour is bombing, dead last. A very great sign of these to come.
But it is a gamechanger. The media is now working on preaching Islam, spreading the historically inaccurate whitewash of Islam. That is how they are using their considerable power: to disarm the American people against a mortal enemy that seeks our destruction. As in, why are we fighting? That is the role media has chosen. No accident this. Beware, America.
Dhimmedia dawah. I suspect the door has closed on my guerrilla media tactics. For now. But rest assured, I'll be back.
UPDATE: Screenshot of Robert Spencer speaking on Amanpour's show. Bias? What bias?
UPDATE: Jewish Odysseus says it's all good :)
UPDATE: Thanks, Stacy -- undaunted indeed.

OUTREACH = SUBMISSION: FBI TAKES HAMAS OPERATIVE THROUGH TOP-SECRET NATIONAL COUNTERTERRORISM CENTER
Ground zero mega mosque is outreach. The FBI taking a known Hamas operative on a tour of the top-secret National Counterterrorism Center is outreach. NASA redirected to the Muslim world is outreach. Establishing a division at the State department with one objective only, outreach.
Outreach = submission.
The Trouble with Islamic Outreach Andrew McCarthy, NRO
The FBI is hosting some bad actors.
I wonder if the FBI will be inviting Hatem Abudayyeh to tour the government’s most sensitive anti-terrorism facilities, snoop around the top-secret National Counterterrorism Center, and maybe even pop by the FBI training center in Quantico. Surely he’d be a splendid addition to the Bureau’s next six-week “Citizen’s Academy,” where he could ask our agents searching questions about their investigative practices and anti-terrorism policies.
Oh, sure, he may be at the center of a federal grand-jury investigation in Chicago. And yes, as Politico’s Josh Gerstein reports, the selfsame FBI, armed with a search warrant, did just finish raiding Abudayyeh’s home last week, apparently seeking evidence tying Abudayyeh to support for terrorist organizations. But what’s the big whoop? After all, Mr. Abudayyeh “has never been convicted of a crime and never [been] charged with a crime.”
According to Ross Rice, top flack for the FBI’s Chicago field office, that’s the Bureau’s new gold standard. Yes, you may be a cog in the terror-support wheel. You may be virulently anti-American and committed to the destruction of Israel. But if we haven’t indicted you yet, you’re okay in our book — c’mon in and see what we’ve got.To be fair, Bureau spokesman Rice wasn’t talking about Abudayyeh. He was speaking instead of Kifah Mustapha. Sheikh Mustapha is a recent graduate of the Citizen’s Academy, where he got the full lowdown on our nation’s most sensitive domestic-security locations and practices. Prior to that, Mustapha was best known to the government as “unindicted co-conspirator no. 31” in the most significant terrorism-financing case ever brought by the Justice Department: the Holy Land Foundation prosecution in which several of the sheikh’s confederates were convicted of sending millions of dollars to Hamas.
It was in the HLF case that the government revealed the FBI’s discovery of documents proving an Islamist conspiracy to “destroy” the U.S. “from within” by means of “sabotage.” The trove in question, describing what conspirators called their “civilization jihad,” had been seized from the home of a top Muslim Brotherhood operative. The Brotherhood’s top U.S. priority, the documents showed, was to support the terrorist operations of Hamas, the Brotherhood’s Palestinian branch, which is — the government has declared and Hamas’s own charter brays — dedicated to the annihilation of Israel.
The Brotherhood coordinated Hamas support in the U.S. through an outfit called the Islamic Association of Palestine. The IAP and other Brotherhood fronts set up the HLF to be Hamas’s American piggy bank. As terrorism analyst Patrick Poole recounts, Mustapha was the registered agent of the HLF in Illinois. The purported “Islamic charity” paid him more than $154,000 for his efforts between 1996 and 2000. Moreover, at the HLF trial, an FBI agent testified that Mustapha sang in an HLF-sponsored band that regularly featured songs dedicated to killing Jews and glorifying Hamas.
