Earlier on Friday I broke the story of the connection between the new Ground Zero mosque imam Abdullah Adhami and the World Trade Center bombing co-conspirator imam Siraj Wahhaj. Abdullah is so enamoured with the terror imam that he volunteered to design the masjid At-Taqwa, where Imam Siraj Wahaj incites his followers. This further Rauf and his wife, Daisy Kahn, will no longer be speaking on behalf of the project or [Cordoba Conquest]/ Park51, as they are going to be focusing their attention on supporting the Cordoba Movement, an entirely separate initiative. The center explains their reasoning behind the change like this: Hence the appointment of Adhami. Meanwhile, [CORDOBA Conquest]/Park51adds that other Imams still to be announced will also be joining the board in the near future to coordinate the building's religious services. If it's what they describe as a cultural center (photo right: the architect's rendering with just some of the Pentagons, crosses and Jewish stars symbols highlighted in their highly offensive design) open to everyone, why an army of extreme imams? Here, the new Ground Zero imam Abdullah Adhami refers to World Trade Center unindicted co-conspirator imam Siraj Wahhaj as his "beloved imam." (hat tip Kamala) I feel that I am with you as I feel that I am with every Muslim, and we should exert ourselves—like our beloved imam [Siraj Wahhaj in his message] said, to inspire this affinity for one another, because nothing can be more crucial a message to the ummah at anytime in its history—but particularly now. (here) Above is a screen shot of the new Ground Zero imam Abdullah's website page exalting ("celebrating') the World Trade Center bomber imam Siraj Wahhaj. Abdullah Adhami also says this here: http://www.sakeenah.org/celebrate.shtml "Siraj Wahhaj is the voice of the spirit of Islam in America and its pride." Adhami is the founder & chairman of the org behind that web site: http://www.sakeenah.org/aboutus.shtml He also said: "if only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate." [..] The Islamic Circle of North America has been named in "a list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends" by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is bent on waging "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." Siraj Wahhaj is an African American convert to Islam. He currently serves as Imam of the Masjid Al-Taqwa mosque in Brooklyn, New York. "…And [Allah] declared 'Whoever is at war with my friends, I declare war on them.' ... Your true friend is Allah, the messenger, and those who believe.... Hear what I'm telling you well. The Americans are not your friends ... The Canadians are not your friends ... The Europeans are not your friends. Your friend is Allah, the Messenger and those who believe. These people will never be satisfied with you until you follow their religion ..." In a 1992 address to an audience of Muslims in New Jersey, Wahhaj expressed his desire to see Muslims seize control of the United States and replace its constitutional government with an Islamic caliphate. “If we were united and strong,” Wahhaj said, “we'd elect our own emir [leader] and give allegiance to him.... [T]ake my word, if 6-8 million Muslims unite in America, the country will come to us.” "[T]his [American] government has already sent in[to] every major [mosque], agent provocateurs. Most of you don't know what that is. All you know is about spies. The government has spies, they have infiltrators. But there's some difference from being a spy and an agent provocateur. What an agent provocateur does, he goes to a [mosque], he looks just like you. He's got a beard just like your beard... And their job is to entrap you no different than the prostitute, the police women dressed as a prostitute, whereas he's coming to the [mosque], dressed as a Muslim."

I am sure Bull OReilly will tell us these are "stand up guys." They dropped the poster after we exposed them, but the message is the same. We are declaring victory. We exposed Imam Rauf. He is now attempting to crawl back under his rauf.

Earlier today a "new imam" (same as the old imam, essentially) was named to the Ground Zero mosquestrosity. Is there no one in islamic leadership who is not tied to jihad or terror? Or is it that Rauf wants these horrible connections to the terror attacks at Ground Zero? If this guy is "modern" or a "moderate" or a "reformer," then I am the Pope. Many of the links to his sermons have been taken down. Hmmmmm, I wonder why. Family & Society Today Here is some background on the new Ground Zero imam Abdullah Adhami (this from "Modern Religion"). Born in Georgetown, Washington D.C., he received his Bachelors of Architecture from Pratt University in New York City. He voluntarily undertook to design the new Masjid At-Taqwa where Imam Siraj Wahaj is the Imam. Shaykh Abdullah taught at the Al-Ghazali full-time Islamic school in New Jersey for one year. He began his study with scholars in Damascus at the tender age of eight, obtaining ijazahs from great scholars of our time such as Shaykh 'Abd Al-Razzaq Al-Halabi, Shaykh 'Abd Al-Rahman Al-Shaguri, Shaykh Yusuf 'Arar, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Al-Yaqoubi, and numerous others. He has lectured widely in the United States, and taught subjects and texts such as Shafi'i fiqh, al-Shama'il: The Sublime Qualities of our Beloved Messenger (salla Allahu 'alayhi wa sallam), Manazil Al-Sa'irin, Kitab Al-Sidq, and Maqasid Al-Sawm. His current manuscript, an exploration into the implications of gender-related language in the texts of Shari'ah, was based on a seminar that he taught entitled, "Quranic Eloquence: Toward a Higher Gender Adab". Shaykh Abdullah currently resides in Damascus, Syria, with his wife and son. I will be vetting all these "scholars," but Siraj Wahhaj is well known to infidels and all freedom loving people. He studied in Syria. Who better to know exactly what Abudullah was taught than Wafa Sultan, who describes growing up Islam in Syria in her seminal and breathtaking book,"A God who Hates"? Hardcore. He also said: "if only Muslims were clever politically, they could take over the United States and replace its constitutional government with a caliphate." [..] The Islamic Circle of North America has been named in "a list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends" by the Muslim Brotherhood, which is bent on waging "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."

Wahhaj is a well known speaker on Islamic issues, traveling the U.S. and abroad to lecture on the virtues of his faith. For his talks, Wahhaj typically receives an honorarium of $1,000 to $2,000. "People like Wahhaj went from Nation of Islam to Saudi Wahhabism, and they preach those extreme views to their followers.... Wahhabism is hostile to all 'nonbelievers,' to secular society, certainly to American society, and it can fit with black radical thought. Despite denouncing Islamic terrorism on a number of occasions, Wahhaj has expressed a desire to remain neutral about Osama bin Laden and his complicity in the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He has said: 'I'm just not so sure I want to be one of the ones who say, Yeah, he did it. He's a horrible man.'" Victory. We exposed Imam Rauf. He's out. Here we go again. The Ground Zero Islamic supremacist mosque has named a new imam, confirming what we already know. Rauf was extreme, we exposed him, so they move on to a new mosque mask without ever addressing the real concerns. This is part of the ongoing deception. They keep morphing, changing, obfuscating to distract, without touching the real problem, the terror and pain of a mega mosque at Ground Zero. You can put lipstick on a pig, but it still ain't kosher. Imam Abdullah Adhami as its mosque-mask -- the new distraction. But it doesn't change a thing. Don't change the imam, change the location. I don't know if you heard, but radical Rauf has taken to calling the Ground Zero mosque the "Muslim YMCA." Who does he think he is kidding? There is no church at the YMCA. If that were true, they would have withdrawn the mosque from the plans, but the mosque is the plan, so that is never going to happen. That's the one thing that never changes. Mohammad said, "war is deceit." Indeed. New Imam For Ground Zero Islamic Center DAVID B. CARUSO, Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) — The organization planning to build an Islamic community center near the World Trade Center says the imam who has been the public face of the project will be playing a reduced role. The nonprofit group Park51 announced Friday that it had named a new imam to lead religious programing. It says co-founder Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf will focus on other initiatives. Rauf announced late this fall that he is starting a global movement that would fight extremism and promote better relations between people of different faiths. He is starting a national speaking tour Saturday in Detroit. CORDOBA HOUSE/Park51 said Rauf would remain on the Islamic center's board. It says the group needed someone who could be more focused on local matters. The group named New York City imam Abdullah Adhami as its new senior adviser. UPDATE: Daisy is out, too. It's a banner day in the Atlasphere: Rauf and his wife, Daisy Kahn, will no longer be speaking on behalf of the project or Park51 as they are going to be focusing their attention on supporting the Cordoba Movement, an entirely separate initiative. The center explains their reasoning behind the change like this: Hence the appointment of Adhami. Meanwhile, Park51 adds that other Imams still to be announced will also be joining the board in the near future to coordinate the building's religious services.

The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 911 Attacks R.S.V.P GROUNDZEROMOSQUE@AOL.COM In this, the latest act of subversion and sedition by the stealth jihadist of the GOP, Grover Norquist wants to pull out of Afghanistan (as a, ahem ...."money-saving measure") and leave that country to Islamic supremacists. I have been exposing the enemy within the upper echelon of the Republican ranks, namely Grover Norquist and his cell of stealth jihadists, including Suhail Khan, who was recently outted in a video, saying, “The early Muslims loved death, dying for the sake of almighty Allah, more than the oppressors loved life,” said an impassioned Khan, who wiped away tears throughout his speech. “This must be the case when we are fighting.” (Below photo: Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan.) I lost my Newsmax gig because I crossed the Grover. He has been undermining the right since the nineties. Enough. Norquist Nexis: Newsmax Nixes Atlas (March 2010) Grover Norquist Hiss (Feb. 2010) Pamela Geller, Frontpage Magazine Interview: Grover Norquist ... (March 2010) CONSERVATIVES MUST SHUN NORQUIST, NOT ANN COULTER (March 2007) The True ‘Cost’ of Defeat in Afghanistan Max Boot, Commentary If you want any further evidence of conservative support for the war effort in Afghanistan, look no further than Grover Norquist’s laughable effort to organize a “center-right” coalition against the war. Apparently, Grover wants to pull out of Afghanistan as a money-saving measure — a line of argument, which if followed to its natural conclusion, should also have led us to pull out of World War II while Hitler or Tojo were still in power or to end the Civil War while Jefferson Davis still ruled the South. Think of all the millions we could have saved by ending wars prematurely — quite a bonanza, especially if you ignore the rather substantial costs of defeat. Norquist seems quite enamored of Ronald Reagan’s pullout from Lebanon after the suicide car-bombing of the Marine barracks in Beirut in 1983. Perhaps he is not aware that this incident was routinely cited — along with the U.S. pullout from Somalia in 1993 — by Osama bin Laden in the 1990s to justify his belief that the U.S. was a “weak horse” that could be attacked with impunity. Note to Grover: Even the great Ronald Reagan was not infallible. With arguments like that, it is no surprise that Norquist has attracted to his cause such conservative luminaries as … Steve Clemons? Jim Pinkerton? Charlie Kupchan? If those are genuine representatives of the conservative movement, then I’m Donald Duck. Somehow I think the conservative base is pretty secure for the war effort, because it understands what Grover does not: that we are locked in an existential struggle against Islamist extremists and that defeat in Afghanistan would have severe consequences for us that make the cost of winning the war seem cheap by comparison. It’s the lack of liberal support for the war effort that we have to worry about. Wrong. What Max Boot does not understand is that Grover does understand, only too well. Boot has missed the real story behind this subterfuge. In the past, a number of readers have questioned my choice of venue for the historical counter-jihad events I have held in the past three years -- bringing Geert Wilders to CPAC, a jihad conference featuring Wafa Sultan, Steve Coughlin (Pentagon), Simon Deng (Sudan), Anders Gravers (SIOE, Denmark), Elizabeth Sabaditch-Wolff (before anyone had ever heard of her), and Allen West (before his victorious election). This year I am bringing the Ground Zero mosque to CPAC and premiering the new groundbreaking AFDI/SIOA film, The Ground Zero Mosque: The Second Wave of the 911 Attacks. Many people feel, and rightly so, that the American Conservative Union – the political Right’s largest and most influential grassroots umbrella organization and sponsor of the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) -- has abandoned conservative principles and morphed into some fleshy, ambiguous, compromised political machine doling out money and favors for cronies, when it is doing anything at all. I agree. Wholeheartedly. It has been co-opted. Grover Norquist and Suhail Khan have infiltrated CPAC at the senior level. The Muslim Brotherhood controls the information and dissemination of everything you see, hear, and read on Islam, unless you do your own research, your own study, and frequent blogs like mine and Spencer's. Everything is Muslim Brotherhood propaganda. The Muslim Brotherhood has done at this at the senior level of every government agency. And the media is in lockstep as well. "The strategy of power broker Grover Norquist [is] his wicked project to dress Islamists up as patriotic Republicans so they can infiltrate the government." Grover Norquist hoped to...harness votes from the country's growing Muslim population by creating the Islamic Free Market Institute in 1998. He did so with significant financial help from Abdurahman Alamoudi, then one of America's most influential Muslim activists and head of the American Muslim Council. Today, Alamoudi is serving a 23-year prison sentence after admitting to illegal transactions with Libya and being part of a plot to assassinate the then-Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia. Alamoudi was also found to be a long time secret financial courier for Al Qaeda while at the same time being routinely invited to the Clinton White House for receptions and meetings. (IPT) But. The ten thousand great Americans who will be attending CPAC are not sharia compliant. The patriots attending CPAC are not Islamists and are not willing to hand America over to sharia (Islamic) law. We need to reach them. We need to educate them. They know they are being deceived. They look around their towns and cities and see the unremitting capitulation to Islamic supremacism. Arm them with knowledge, I say, and what better way then to bring the leading authorities across the world to speak honestly and forthrightly directly to the American people? This must be done if we are to have any shot at saving America. When I brought Geert Wilders to CPAC, I fought fiercely for months trying to get Wilders on the official CPAC roster. They should have been clamoring to have him. He represents the fight for the idea of American freedom, free speech. After many a discussion, I was advised that David Keene would be giving the Courage Under Fire Award to Geert Wilders for his fight for free speech (the very bedrock of conservative principles, I chided and reminded Keene). Within 24 hours of the decision to give Wilders the Charlton Heston Courage under fire award, it was withdrawn. Heston would not have been pleased. Keene, head of the ACU and also of CPAC, canceled the decision to honor Wilders because of an article in Newsweek in which David Horowitz and Robert Spencer criticized CPAC for its Grover Norquist-mandated refusal to deal with the jihad or Islamic supremacism in any meaningful or effective way. Paul Jacob, President of Citizens in Charge Foundation, was instead given the Charlton Heston Courage Under Fire Award. Who? Imagine battling with the American Conservative Union to have a very likley future Prime Minister of the Netherlands, who is being persecuted for speaking the truth, address an audience at CPAC. Spencer wrote of it a year later here: At the time I was interviewed by Newsweek, Pamela Geller was working tirelessly behind the scenes to secure a speaking slot for Geert Wilders at CPAC, but CPAC was dragging its feet. With that in mind, I told Newsweek that people were afraid to deal with this issue, and added at Jihad Watch that "Keene's, or someone's, priorities are seriously out of order. Wilders should be front and center at CPAC, and the defense of free speech its central theme." I didn't know it at the time, but after I was interviewed by Newsweek and before their article appeared, Keene decided to honor Wilders at CPAC and give him an award. But when the Newsweek piece hit, with quotes from me as well as David Horowitz saying, "How is it possible that a conservative conference does not have a single panel on the threat from radical Islam?," Keene was furious. He was so furious that he canceled the award for Wilders and refused to let him speak at all, saying he wasn't going to look as if he was being pushed around by Robert Spencer. Suddenly a few remarks in Newsweek by David Horowitz and me were controlling David Keene's world. Principles? Free speech? Jihad and Islamization? Pah. For Keene, it was just a schoolyard fight, and he was behaving like a schoolyard bully. And now we hear that Norquist is battling behind the scenes to stop the fight against the jihad in Afghanistan. Above photo:Grover Norquist and "Palestinian" wife Samah (Note his alleged beard. Is he wearing lipstick?) CPAC can be saved from the infiltrators. There is so much we could get done with this organization. Educating the base. We must take CPAC back. VIDEO of Afghanistan today, protesting against the interference of the mullahocracy in iran: Brave Afghanis demonstrate against the Iranian regime; they chant: "The Iranian regime is an crocodiles", "Khamenei is sick in the head", "Death to the Mullah Regime of Iran". Also as you see, they are burning and stomping on Ahmadinejad's photo and splattering paint on the Iranian embassy signage. LONG LIVE THE BRAVE PEOPLE OF AFGHANISTAN... hat tip Banafsheh Z. Like drug addicts and psycho killers, they just can't help themselves. It's a mental illness. We feel for Sarah Palin. We do. The Arizona shooting rampage was neither her fault nor the fault of Tea Party members. It just wasn't. (Championing a party that, at its core, centers around a collective dislike of President's Barack Obama's melanin levels? Sure, that's her fault. But certainly not what happened to Rep. Gabrielle Gifford, Gabriel Zimmerman and several others last week.) To attack Palin here is unfair. That would be like unjustly blaming Muslims for the actions of a few extremists,a thick slice of irony lost on the former GOP vice presidential candidate and her self-centered tirade against irresponsible journalists. However, that didn't stop these posters from appearing in San Francisco overnight. This one here, found in Hayes Valley on Grove between Laguna and Octavia, says: "Enrage them with fear until they feel justified in their violence." So much for nonpartisanship. Now it is clear that Jared Loughner was stalking Gabrielle Giffords for years, long before Sarah Palin and her supposed “target” electoral map. Now it is clear that Loughner’s classmates were afraid of him months ago. ow that we know it proves true what I said on Saturday at 4:16 p.m. (Atlas was first with the youtube channel): that Loughner was a Left-wing radical loon. Nonetheless, be warned. The Left is still trying to use this lunatic’s insane actions to try to shut us up. There's more Geller -- go here. Next time Bull O'Reilly has this Hamas group on, forward the poster. CAIR Imagery Makes Obstructionist Goal Clear (thanks to IPT) Any question about the Council on American-Islamic Relations' (CAIR) attitude toward law enforcement in terrorism investigations has been put to rest by the group's San Francisco chapter. UPDATE: Thanks to the many Atlas readers for clearing this up. The link to the Foreign Office was generating the authentication code but I could not remove the box without removing the post - despite whatever image edits I made. Post removed, box removed. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ As you know, I maintain a website for Muslims and apostates in threatening situations seeking help. My bus campaign for Muslims in danger directed these souls to the website, "Leaving Islam Safely.com," also can be found at Refuge from Islam.com." The bus campaign caused a great deal of consternation in the subjugated media both here and abroad -- as if those leaving Islam did not have the same basic human right to freedom as anyone else. That was the premise. Opposition to these bus ads was the equivalent of supporting the Islamic death penalty for apostasy (conversion out of Islam). It was providing a service to those who needed help. Are they not deserving of a free life? By Gd, what shot do these people have if the whole of the world has caved to Islamic supremacism? Where can they go? The media sought to enforce the Islamic law (the sharia), death for apostasy, by forcing those in danger to stay in fatal environments, much the way they sought to return Rifqa Bary, the Ohio teen who converted out of Islam, to the family that threatened to kill her. It took an army to save Rifqa. Is the British government enforcing the sharia, too? Flashback VIDEO: Daisy the Khan on the freedom bus ads: May 27, 2010 Ground Zero mosque supremacist Daisy the Khan commenting at length on the Freedom Bus campaing calling Pamela Geller "ignorant." Her deception is full on. "It's always hurtful when an entire community....." There is nothing in the ads about "the 'entire community." And murder is "hurtful," gender apartheid is "hurtful," clitorectomies are "hurtful," dishonesty is "hurftful," jihad is "hurtful," the Ground Zero mosque is "hurtful." Goebbels would be taking notes. Our AFDI website for Muslims in trouble has been hacked or has been forbidden by the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO). This is horrible. The irony is that things are so bad in the UK that this same agency, the FCO, has a forced marriage unit (a common practice among Muslims). I am trying to determine if this is official FCO -- watch this space. Our Forced Marriage Unit (FMU) is a joint-initiative with the Home Office. In 2009 FMU gave advice or support to 1682 cases. 86 percent of these cases involved females and 14 percent involved males. If you are worried you might be forced into marriage or are worried about a friend or relative see information for victims, or call us on 0207 008 0151. Our trained professionals offer confidential advice and assistance to: Our site directs those Muslims who have chosen to escape to some resources and contacts that offer help to those who make this very risky and dangerous choice. What is the messege? The UK actually has a Forced Marriage Act, which permits anyone to request that courts block a wedding ceremony if it is believed that it is forced or involves one of the spouses-to-be being taken across national borders for the purposes of marriage. That's how bad it is. Honor killings have spiked in the UK and the gender apartheid continues unabated. Back on Monday I posted that Pima County Sheriff Dupnik was blaming the right for slaughter at Safeway but details had emerged of multiple contacts between Jared Loughner and the Dupnik's office over multiple death threats Duplicious and deceiving, he libeled decent and fine Americans in order to deflect his guilt. Perhaps he believes eveyone will call for cessation of blame and his gross negligence will be overlooked. How disingenuous and dangeorous for President Obama to have called Dupnik. He “thanked him for his department’s efforts to respond to this incident and coordinate with the FBI and Director Mueller on the investigation.” He should have ripped him a new one. Dupnik should have had this mental patient locked up, instead he lied and helped to polarize the nation. Here's the take of a cool, professional eye, former prosecutor John Jay: 25 years, a lawyer. about 6 years a prosecutor. how this relates to guns, below. Check out my latest column over at Breitbart's Big Government. Wednesday Sarah Palin responded to the vicious blood libel leveled against her and millions of right-thinking Americans by the army of destroyers. The ferocious, relentless attacks on Sarah Palin are a testament to her greatness, proof of how deathly afraid of her they are, like Dracula to the silver cross. It’s envy. Ayn Rand said it: “Envy is regarded by most people as a petty, superficial emotion and, therefore, it serves as a semihuman cover for so inhuman an emotion that those who feel it seldom dare admit it even to themselves….That emotion is:hatred of the good for being the good.” Here’s the thing. The mission, by objective, of the haters, the party of destruction, is to ruin the best, the brightest, the good. The left has, day after day, month after month, year after year, decade after decade, trafficked only in ruin and destruction, focusing on the most effective leaders on the right. Name one, one, Republican president the voluntary-state-run media has liked. Forget liked, has given a fair shake? Name one Republican they supported. The only Republican the media can cotton to is a RINO (Republican In Name Only) or one who is sure to lose (i.e. old, middle of the road RINO McCain). UPDATEL Excellent commentary here from Motivation Truth. THANK YOU! A blessing on your heads. Last week, it was reported that honor killer Faleh Hassan Almaleki was negotiating a plea deal in the honor killing of his daughter, Noor. Her "crime?" She was too "western," too Americanized -- more here. The deal is off. Faleh Hassan Almaleki should be executed. Instead, they were talking a plea deal. They were bowing to Islamic supremacism. Shruggers responded immediately. You wrote a letter for Noor (here). Hundreds (maybe thousands) called, wrote, emailed and righted this horrible wrong. We must defend against gender apartheid in the strongest possible terms: Faleh Hassan Almaleki to stand trial in daughter's death YAHOO (hat tip George M) He should get the death penalty. Hassan Almaleki cried "racism" when capital punishment was being considered. His lawyer said at the time: "An open process provides some level of assurance that there is no appearance that a Christian is seeking to execute a Muslim for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs," Little wrote, referring to County Attorney Andrew Thomas' Christian faith. So a Muslim father can murder his daughter in cold blood because she wasn't Muslim enough, but justice cannot be served because that would be "racism" and "Christian" "islamophobia." We can't seek the death penalty "for racial, political, religious or cultural beliefs," but he can kill his daughter for his religious and political (sharia) beliefs. Prosecutors and attorneys for Faleh Hassan Almaleki had been in discussions about a plea deal for weeks ahead of a scheduled Jan. 18 trial date. Barring a last-minute deal that appears unlikely, Maricopa CountySuperior Court Judge Roland Steinle said at a hearing Tuesday that he would call two large groups of potential jurors next week. Steinle noted a large pool was needed because of extensive pretrial publicity and the need for jurors to be available to serve on a lengthy case. Police allege Almaleki slammed his Jeep into his 20-year-old daughter, Noor Almaleki, and her boyfriend's mother in October 2009 in the parking lot of a state Department of Economic Security office in the Phoenix suburb of Peoria. The mother lived, but Noor was in a coma for two weeks before she died from her injuries. Almaleki has pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder, attempted first-degree murder, aggravated assault and leaving the scene of a serious injury accident. His public defender and the prosecutor declined to comment after Tuesday's brief hearing. Almaleki, who turned 50 on Jan. 1, remains in custody. He attended the hearing in shackles in the jury box, wearing a back brace over his faded black and white striped county jail garb and pink undershirt. After the hearing ended, Almaleki interrupted through an interpreter, saying "I don't know what's going on so far." Steinle allowed him to confer with his lawyers for a few minutes, then cut off their discussion to move on to the next case. "You can discuss with him over the next few days what the rules of criminal procedure are in reference to a lawyer appearing," Steinle said. The case caused nationwide outrage after prosecutors deemed it an "honor killing" because Almaleki had said his daughter dishonored his family and became too Westernized. Faleh Almaleki moved his family from Iraq to the Phoenix suburb of Glendale in the mid-1990s. He wanted Noor to adhere to Iraqi traditions, but she wanted to be a typical American girl, according to court records and her close friends. When she was 17, she refused to enter an arranged marriage in Iraq, enraging her father, according to a court document filed by prosecutors. She moved into her own apartment at 19 and began working at a fast-food restaurant but quit after her parents kept showing up at her work, insisting she return home, the document said. Later in 2009, she moved in with her boyfriend and his parents, Reikan and Amal Khalaf, after saying her parents had hit her. The court document said Faleh Almaleki regularly harassed his daughter and the Khalafs, once telling Reikan Khalaf that if his daughter didn't move out of their home, "something bad was going to happen." Noor Almaleki spotted her father on Oct. 20, 2009, when she and Amal Khalaf visited a Department of Economic Security office. When the two women left the office, Faleh Almaleki hit them with his Jeep before fleeing the country, prosecutors said. Law enforcement caught up with him in London and returned him to Phoenix. Not 12 hours after the mass shooting in Arizona, the left took to Herald Square to spew their hate and annihilationist propaganda. While accusing the right of what they themselves are guilty of, they wasted no time ginning up the disenfranchised and the haters. The blood in Arizona was not even dry. They could not show any restraint or decorum and could not hold back their wishes for Jewish genocide out of respect for the dead. Their bloodlust comes first and must be slaked. It is always the left that holds these hatefests. Always. Disruptive, ugly, and contemptuous of the police. I have been covering these protests for years -- The Face of Hate. Vile. Pamela Hall has the whole story here: Leftists Protest March Against Israel & U.S -NYC (January 2011)video/pics Silent Majority Went to an Anti-Israel/Anti-U.S. protest in Manhattan on January 9, 2011. A Sunday. One of the first things I saw was this truck drive by their protest. With hate so much in the news lately, I wondered, has the press ever stood for hours and listened to these hate-mongers lie about Israel and the U.S.? over and over? Hateful rhetoric clothed in smirks and creepy smiles meant to incite and recruit more radicals like themselves. And they do. In our colleges in particular. Baffling to me that there should be so many groups that hate the U.S and Israel while living in free and safe in this country. Yet they yearn to live in a totalitarian hell-hole and drag the rest of us with them. Their list of groups that support terrorism and sedition. That promote HATE.

GROUND ZERO MOSQUESTROSITY NEW IMAM ABDULLAH ADHAMI CALLS CO-CONSPIRATOR IN '93 WTC BOMBING SIRAJ WAHHAJ "OUR BELOVED IMAM" "SIRAJ WAHHAJ IS THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT OF ISLAM IN AMERICA AND ITS PRIDE"
demonstrates the true nature and belief system of Imam Rauf and Daisy the Khan, whose reputations have been exposed to the American people. In a triumph for AFDI/SIOA and Americans across this great land, they slithered out of the Ground Zero mosque, opting out of the sunlight to work behind the scenes. We will continue to expose their stealth jihad; they intend to bring in an army of imams to the Ground Zero mosquestrosity in their stead: Rauf and Daisy are out,
Due to the fact that Imam Feisal is focusing most of his energies and passion on launching this new and separate initiative, it is important that the needs of Park51, the Islamic Community Center in Lower Manhattan, take precedence. While Imam Feisal’s vision has a global scope and his ideals for the Cordoba Movement are truly exceptional, our community in Lower Manhattan is local.
(You'll see this if you click the bottom arrow in the bottom right corner of this page.)NYC: Siraj Wahhaj, unindicted co-conspirator in '93 WTC bombing
US Attorney Mary Jo White even named Wahhaj one of 170 unindicted co-conspirators in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the thwarted plan to blow up a slew of buildings.
"In time, this so-called democracy will crumble, and there will be nothing, and the only thing that will remain will be Islam," Wahhaj said in one of his sermons.
Wahhaj, imam of Al-Taqwa mosque, is a former member of the Nation of Islam and was the first Muslim to give an invocation at the House of Representatives.
Formal charges were never filed against him by White, although he did serve as a character witness for the defense in the trial of Omar Abdel-Rahman, "the blind sheik" who is now serving a life sentence for his role in plotting the 1993 WTC bombings.
Born as Jeffrey Kearse, Wahhaj was raised as a Baptist in New York City. He attended Wilfrid Laurier University in Ontario, Canada, where he studied math education. His interest in Islam, he says, arose shortly after the 1968 assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr., which prompted Wahhaj to go "looking for more militancy."
In the course of that search, Wahhaj became involved with the Nation of Islam and its leader, Louis Farrakhan, under whose influence he converted to Islam in 1969. Aligning himself with Islam's Sunni sect, Wahhaj studied at Umm al-Qura University in Mecca in 1978.
In 1981 Wahhaj founded his own mosque, the aforementioned Masjid Al-Taqwa, which initially was based in a friend's Brooklyn apartment (with a membership of fewer than 25 people). Today, however, Wahhaj’s mosque is recognized by Muslims all around the world.
In 1991 Wahhaj, who had managed to cultivate an image as a moderate in the eyes of the American public, became the first Muslim ever to recite an opening prayer before a meeting of the U.S. House of Representatives.
That same year, however, Wahhaj, in a speech before the Islamic Association of North Texas, called Operation Desert Storm (the U.S.-led military campaign to drive Saddam Hussein's invading forces out of Kuwait) "one of the most diabolical plots ever in the annals of history." Moreover, he predicted that America would fall unless it "accepts the Islamic agenda."
In September 1991 Wahhaj stated the following:
In 1995 Wahhaj was named by U.S. Attorney Mary Jo White as a possible co-conspirator to the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center. Wahhaj angrily objected to that designation, noting in his defense that he had eaten "dinner with Secretary of State [Madeline] Albright -- after the list" of co-conspirators had been released.
In the summer of 1999, Wahhaj testified as a character witness for convicted terror mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman. Wahhaj stated, on the record, that he considered it an honor to have had an opportunity to host Abdel-Rahman at his mosque, describing the latter as a “respected scholar ... bold ... [and] a strong preacher of Islam.”
In February 2001 Wahhaj, along with Ihsan Bagby, founded the Muslim Alliance of North America, a predominantly black organization representing Muslims indigenous to the United States.
In August and September of 2001, just prior to the 9/11 attacks, Wahhaj was a guest speaker a "Jihad Camp" in Pennsylvania. The camp was organized by Safet Abid Catovic, a leader of the Benevolence International Foundation, a "charity" that would be shut down in November 2002 on charges that it had provided funding for al Qaeda.
In the wake of 9/11, Wahhaj spoke at a convention in Baltimore sponsored by the Islamic Circle of North America.
On October 20, 2001, Wahhaj told a meeting of Muslim activists in Houston:Friday, January 14, 2011

NEW GROUND ZERO MOSQUE IMAM ABDULLAH ADHAMI LINKED TO UNINDICTED CO-CONSPIRATOR IN '93 WTC BOMBING
New imam for the Ground Zero mosque Abdullah
Biography: Shaykh Abdullah Adhami was born in Georgetown, Washington, DC, of the noble lineage of the family of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He began his studies of shari’ah at the age of eight, and heard his first scholarly narrative in 1975. He earned scholarly licenses from many eminent scholars from Damascus, Egypt and Morocco, and is honored with the unique and rare distinction of being a certified narrator of hadith.
His works center on exploring the legal, ethical and spiritual dimensions of the linguistic implications of shari’ah texts. His works also strive to relate the eternal relevance of the essence of shari’ah laws as a vehicle to enhance modern lived experience. He is the founder and chairman of SAKEENAH.

In June 2004 Wahhaj spoke at an event titled “Next Generation Muslims—Education & Survival,” which was organized by theUniversal Heritage Foundation, a Florida-based outpost of Islamism and anti-Semitism.
Wahhaj was once an Advisory Board member for the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). On June 6, 2006, CAIR's Ohio affiliate held a large fundraiser in honor of Wahhaj. Following the event, CAIR-Ohio issued a press releaseheralding the more than $100,000 that Wahhaj had helped raise that evening for the organization's “civil liberties work.”
In August 2006 Wahhaj was a guest speaker at an event organized by Young Muslims, where he shared the stage with Mazen Mokhtarm, Youth Director for the Muslim American Society's New Jersey chapter. Mokhtarm has promoted the official website of Hamas, a group which he has called "heroic."
Wahhaj today is affiliated with the Islamic Society of North America, and he serves as a Board of Trustees member for theNorth American Imams Federation.

BENEDICT GROVER: NORQUIST FIGHTS FOR THE JIHAD IN AFGHANISTAN
THEY CAN'T HELP IT -- ANTI-PALIN POSTERS
PAMELA GELLER, HUMAN EVENTS: USING THE GIFFORDS SHOOTING TO DESTROY FREE SPEECH
One teacher wrote last summer: “Hopefully he will be out of class very soon, and not come back with an automatic weapon.” A student wrote: “He frightened the daylights out of me. I kept saying to people, ‘I’m afraid he’s going to come into the class with a gun.' ”
Not only was he dangerous, he was a Leftist. Loughner’s high school friend, Caitie Parker, remembers him as a “political radical” who was “Left-wing, quite liberal.” Loughner also has a creepy “music video” up on YouTube, in which he is dressed as a terrorist and burns an American flag.
That’s what the Democrats do. Two proposals are floating. One is designed to tamp down the political rhetoric. What does that mean? It won’t apply to the left -- that much is sure. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-Mo.), said Sunday: “We are in a dark place in this country right now; the atmospheric condition is toxic. Much of it originates here in Washington D.C., and we export it around the country.”
His solution? Muzzle the Right.
This from the congressman who lied and said he heard a “chorus” of Tea Partiers use an ugly racial epithet. Yet no evidence -- none -- was ever found for this allegation. There were thousands of people there, with hundreds of video cameras rolling. Not one caught this “chorus.” So Cleaver eventually retracted his claim. But now he is proposing speech restrictions? You can’t make this stuff up.
And Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.) plans legislation to make it a federal crime to use language or symbols that could be perceived as threatening to a federal official.
First Amendment out the window. Free speech, as long as it is speech the fascists like.
And why is a federal official’s life more valuable than say, mine? I get death threats all the time using jihadic language and Islamic symbols. Let’s outlaw those too, eh?
The killer was a madman -- Loughner stalked Giffords for three years. The killer’s eerie note: “I planned ahead.“
Three years. That means that he started before Palin became a key national figure, before the Tea Party and before the 2010 Republican win. So all those charges are just hate propaganda designed to destroy our best people. Loughner was no conservative. He was nuts. Period.
Exception makes bad law. The father of the 9-year-old angel who was shot in the chest does not want restrictions on free speech.ENEMY WITHIN: HAMAS GROUP CAIR POSTER -- SUBVERSIVE, SUPREMACIST GOAL CLEAR
"Build a Wall of Resistance," a poster announcing a Feb. 9 event published on the group's website says, "Don't Talk to the FBI."
A dark, sinister FBI agent is shown lurking in front of people's homes as doors slam shut.
It's in response to an FBI investigation in Minneapolis and Chicago involving possible support for two designated terrorist groups, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). A series of raids Sept. 24 targeted the homes of activists in both cities. They claim the investigation is an attempt by Eric Holder's Justice Department to silence anti-war dissent.
"This type of investigation is a tool to repress our movements for social justice and divide our communities," the announcement of the event said.
But that assessment is based solely on the word of those targeted. So far, no official information about the ongoing investigation or the probable cause that led a federal judge to authorize the searches has been released.
In response, however, supporters of those targeted have protested outside of courthouses and federal offices in several cities. The next one is scheduled for Jan. 25 in Chicago and elsewhere, corresponding to compelled grand jury appearances by several people. A website, stopfbi.net, posts articles and updates on the case.
CAIR's Chicago Executive Director Ahmed Rehab called the investigation "a waste of taxpayer dollars." His chapter issued a statement denouncing the September raids. "The FBI has overstepped its bounds in targeting individuals based on their commitment to peacefully challenge US policies in Palestine and Columbia," it said. The Justice Department should call off the investigation and return what was taken in the searches.
Subsequently, Rehab's Michigan counterpart called the raids "a witch hunt to chill the 1st amendment rights of Americans." Dawud Walid later accused the FBI of having "recruited more so-called extremist Muslims than al-Qaida themselves" and likened the use of informants in terrorism-related investigations to the systematic discrimination inherent in Jim Crow laws, and the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.
Walid's rants follow his year-long campaign to find fault in FBI's shooting death of a Detroit imam in October 2009 after the imam opened fire first. That effort continued even after separate investigations by the state of Michigan and the Department of Justice found no wrongdoing.
CAIR's hostility toward law enforcement is long-standing, but the organization's rhetoric has increased since the FBI cut off formal communication with the group in 2008. That decision was based on exhibits admitted into evidence during a terror-financing trial in Dallas that showed CAIR founders were part of a Hamas-support network.
"[U]ntil we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and HAMAS, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner," an FBI official explained in a 2009 letter to U.S. Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz.
CAIR petitioned the Texas court to be removed from a list of unindicted co-conspirators in that case. But the district judge refused, ruling there is "ample evidence to establish the associations of CAIR" and others "with Hamas.""REFUGE FROM ISLAM" WEBSITE FORBIDDEN?

Victims of forced marriage
Forced Marriage UnitDEMOCRAT SHERIFF DUPNIK GUILTY OF DERELICTION OF DUTY
one of my duties as a p.a. was "involuntary treatment act" commitments. down to the psyche ward at the local hospital, ... , shrinks and mental health professionals would trot them in, prosecutor represented them, and some poor hapless soul would be drug in.
the mental health professional would describe the circumstances as to how they got involved, usually family, friends or arresting cops. the shrinks would recite their review of the case, and then they would issue a professional/expert opinion.
"did the person present a risk of harm either to himself or a member of the public as a result of mental defect or illness, or emotional defect or illness."
if the answer to that opinion were "yes" in the professionals opinion, then the judge had the authority to pop 'em in for 48 hours, whether they wanted to or not. then, the next question would be, ... .
"is it in the best interests of the patient to administer psychotropic drugs during the stay."
if the answer to that opion were "yes" then psychotropics would be administered. the usual powerful shit to make you do a pretty good zombie imitation.
at the end of the 48 hours, another hearing would be held, seeing if they had improved enough to be released, (usually "yes," go forth and sin no more, and see the shrink and the mental health guys, and take your prescribe/ordered meds, cuz if you get goofy again, you're coming back in.)
that hearing was authorized by statute to hold the person involuntarily for another 72.
if the psychotropics and the mental health guys, e.g., shrinks and hospital staff, couldn't help, then the question of commitment to the state mental hospital came up.
sometimes people would be so obviously looney tunes that away they went. sometimes so remarkably improved, that out on the sidewalk they went.
and, sometimes if they were borderline and it was tough, or it was especially cold and they were street people, the hearing might be continued a week or ten days to see if a little food, and a lot less alchol and self administered drugs, didn't settle them down enough to where they could be released under supervision.
how this relates to guns. if a person is adjudicated mentally defective by reason of mental illness or impairment, and they are committed, even to a local psyche ward, or if a person is convicted of a misdemeanor offense involving domestic violence or abuse, then they loose their rights to own or possess weapons. it is something to which the people are advised at the beginning of the process.
any law enforcement person knows this. stone cold. they just do.
a finding along this line is passed up the chain, and eventually it goes to the f.b.i.
when a person comes into a store to buy a gun, a pistol especially, they fill out paper work w/ the gun's vendor. they fill out paperwork for the state, and they fill out paper work for the feds. both forms have a little 8 or 9 question questionnaire, to be answered yes or no.
one of the questions is, "have you ever been adjudicated as being a risk to yourself or others as a result of mental or emotional defect or illness," or something along that general line. if you answer "yes," the store owner will not deliver the weapon to you, no matter how much you rant or rave or carry on.
if you answer all the questions correctly, then you are subject to a check with the f.b.i. the clerk walks over to the phone, and he simply calls up the f.b.i. hello, f/b/i, this fellow, wants to buy a gun. here are the particulars. will you please check out his history."
the f.b.i. guy checks. if the purchaser has a felony, or a misdemeanor involving domestic violence, or if the person has been adjudicated as mentally defective, he is turned down for delivery of the gun even at the end of the waiting period. (and, we mustn't leave out illegal alienage. also a disqualifier.)
the clerk walks over to the guy and says, sorry. they say no. you got a felony, according to them, or, you are fruit loops according to them.
sometimes when things are not clear, the purchaser is advised that his purchase is on "hold" until the f.b.i. and the state authorities get it all cleared up.
so, if you have been adjudicated fruitloops, no legal gun purchase.
why the sheriff of pima county is an impious bastard, and is trying to fob this off on someone else. well, it is obvious. the bastard dropped the ball on this kid.
they have all kinds of complaints on the little threatening bastard, and they know that he is cuckoo for cocoa puffs & getting kicked out of classes, ... , hell, i think some sort of authority, either campus security or the sheriffs had to be called to haul him out of class because he was so disruptive.
and, he should have been a prime candidate to be hauled off to a mental health professional for evaluation.
and, don't let anyone ever tell you that shrinks/docs/mental health guys cannot pop you in. a dear friend of mine, a lawyer, got all goofy over a woman, his secretary and became obsessed over her, and then despondent and depressed because she wouldn't leave her husband and kids for him. he started threatening suicide. i called his family, told them what i was gonna do (didn't ask, just told 'em), and called his shrink, and i told the shrink, he's got a weapon, and he is fruit loops. (a technical term one picks up in law practice.)
the shrink called him. and said, your hear in 1/2 hour, or the mental health guys are coming to get you on my medical directive per the statute. kapish.
he went to see him.
the sheriff of pima county, or any of his deputies, or any mental health professional or any doctor or shrink in pima county could have done the very same thing. they could have hauled him into an "i.t.a." commitment hearing, and had a legal determination whether commitment and medical treatment could have been imposed, on the legal basis discussed above.
simple as that.
sarah palin is not responsible for those deaths. the law enforcement officials and the public health apparatus of pima county is responsible, if anyone is. in not accepting this, the sheriff of pima county is either in denial, or he is a corrupt cynical leftist politician taking advantage of a tragedy to advance his agenda, or both.
no doubt about it.
it is just as simple as that. hell, everybody in the county knew about it, and did nothing. i suspect out of deference to the fact that the kid's mother worked for the county, and was probably a well liked associate.
john jay
p.s. i will tell you one other thing which makes this doubly horrendous. i am not a clinician, but i have been around this kind of bullshit before.
and, i will bet you a bag of dimes, that jared loughner was on some pretty heavy duty medications in the time leading up to this, because of being fruitloops, and i base that upon his sort of giddy attitude during his mug shot, and his physical appearance. the tissues of his head are all swelled up, and his head looks like a melon that has swelled, in comparison to all of his other pictures that i have seen of him, even as little as a year or so ago.
he has undergone some major physiological changes such as are in my experience attributable to heavy doses of heavy duty meds.
even knowing what they knew to ethically prescribe this sort of stuff, somebody did not seek his commitment. and, so, he was able to buy and retain ownership of a weapon, and to purchase the ammunition for it.
this is something i suspect that the sheriff of pima county doesn't want looked into very much, and so, know the best "o"-fence is a good "d"-fence, the bastard went after sarah palin.Wednesday, January 12, 2011

MUSLIM DAD WILL STAND TRIAL IN "HONOR" MURDER OF NOOR ALMALEKI
PHOENIX – An Iraqi immigrant accused of killing his daughter because he believed she was too Westernized will go to trial in Phoenix after he failed to reach a plea deal with prosecutors.
Prosecutors and attorneys for Faleh Hassan Almaleki had been in discussions about a plea deal for weeks ahead of a scheduled Jan. 18 trial date. Barring a last-minute deal that appears unlikely, Maricopa County Superior Court Judge Roland Steinle said at a hearing Tuesday that he would call two large groups of potential jurors next week.
The prosecution should call Wafa Sultan, Ibn Warraq, Robert Spencer, Hirsi Ali.DAY AFTER ARIZONA SLAUGHTER, MORE PROTESTS OF HATE AND INCITEMENT TO VIOLENCE FROM THE LEFTIST/ISLAMIC ALLIANCE

UPDATE: More on punishing the victims of Islamic gender apartheid here.
On Sunday, the southern Sudanese began voting on a referendum to secede from the Republic of Sudan and establish their own sovereign nation. By all accounts, they will soon secede from the Arab, Islamic country and form an independent African, Christian and animist state.
The consequences of their actions will reverberate around the world.
This week's referendum takes place in accordance with the US-brokered Comprehensive Peace Treaty between the Khartoum government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement signed on January 9, 2005.
The CPT officially ended the second Sudanese Civil War that began in 1983.
The South Sudanese referendum will not settle the issue of control over all of southern Sudan. Numerous flashpoints remain. Most importantly, the disposition of the town of Abyei remains undetermined. Abyei is where most of Sudan's oil deposits are located.
Unlike the rest of the south, its population is a mix of Arabs and Africans and its residents are split over the issue of separation from Khartoum. If there is war after independence, Abyei will likely be its cause.
Abyei's residents were supposed to vote on a referendum to determine the disposition of their town at the same time as the rest of the south. But fuelled by their conflicting interests, they could not agree on how to run the poll, and so it did not take place.
Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir is playing a contradictory role in the South Sudanese referendum. Al-Bashir has been indicted on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur.
[....]MUCH OF the international discourse on southern Sudan has centered on what South Sudan's independence means for its citizens and for Africa as a whole. And this is reasonable.
In its 54-year history, Sudan has suffered from civil war between the north and south for 39 years. Some 200,000 south Sudanese were kidnapped into slavery. Two million Sudanese have died in the wars. Four million have become refugees.
But the fact is that with the West openly supporting southern Sudanese independence, a new war's consequences will not be limited to Sudan itself. Therefore it is worth considering why such a war is all but certain and what southern Sudanese independence means for the region and the world.
There were two main reasons that Bashir agreed to sign the peace treaty with the south Sudanese in 2005. First, his forces had lost the civil war. The south was already effectively independent.
The second reason Bashir agreed to a deal that would give eventual independence to the oil-rich south is because he feared the US.
In 2004, led by then president George W. Bush, the US cast a giant shadow throughout the world. The US military's lightning overthrow of Saddam Hussein's regime frightened US foes and encouraged US allies. The democratic wave revolutions in Ukraine, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan and Lebanon were all fuelled by the world's belief in US's willingness to use its power to defeat its foes.
Bashir's regime is closely linked to al-Qaida, which he hosted from 1989 until 1995.
When the US demanded that he accept the south's victory, he probably didn't believe he could refuse.
Today, the US is not feared or respected as it was six years ago. And according to a recent article in the online Small Wars Journal by US Army Lt. Col. Thomas Talley, Bashir's current dim perception of the US makes war inevitable.
[...]Arab leaders as diverse as Libya's leader Muammar Gaddafi and Saudi Arabia's Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal have decried South Sudan's independence. Gaddafi warned that southern secession would be the beginning of a "contagious disease."
Faisal called it a "dangerous move" that no member of the Arab League should support.
THE FACT of the matter is that the Arabs have reason to be concerned about what is happening in Sudan. If South Sudan becomes an independent nation, it will be the first case of rollback of Arab imperialism since World War I.
One of the central aspects of Middle Eastern politics that is overwhelmingly ignored by scholars is Arab imperialism and the role it has played in shaping the region's politics.
Both during the post-World War I breakup of the Ottoman Empire and with the breakup of the British and French empires after World War II, British and French imperial authorities colluded with Arab imperialists to guarantee the latter's nearly uninhibited control over the Middle East.
For the Kurds, Shi'ites, Druse, Alawites, Copts, and other non-Sunni, non-Arab, or non-Muslim populations in the region, the end of Western rule meant the end of their relative freedom.
In the case of southern Sudan, during the half century of British rule, the south was administered separately from the Arab north.
But when the British withdrew in 1956, in their haste to leave, they placed the south under Arab rule. Fearing disenfranchisement and oppression, the south began the first Sudanese civil war in 1955 - the year before independence.
There were only two exceptions to Europe's collusion with Arab imperialists - Christian- majority Lebanon and the Palestine Mandate. In both these areas, Western powers allowed non-Muslims to take charge of territory claimed by Arab imperialists.
As the post-independence history of both Lebanon and Israel shows, the Europeans eventually attenuated their support for non-Arab governments. The French have pressured Lebanon's Christians fairly consistently to appease the Arabs. This pressure has caused continuous Christian emigration from Lebanon which has rendered the Christians a minority in Lebanon today. And the Lebanese Christians' attempts to appease the Arabs, opened the door for Hizbullah to take over the country for Iran.
As for Israel, in light of its failure to convince the Arabs to be appeased by its concessions and the Arabs' failure to overrun the Jewish state, since 1973 Europe has collaborated with the Arabs in recasting reality to suit the aims of Arab imperialism.
Whereas Israel was established and repeatedly defended by the Jewish national liberation movement against the wishes of Arab imperialists, with European assistance, the Arabs have inverted history. The current Arab-European claim is that the Arab imperialist war against Israel is a Jewish imperialist war against Arabs.
AGAINST THIS backdrop of Western perfidy towards the Middle East's non-Arab minorities, the West's support for South Sudanese independence is nothing short of miraculous.
Unfortunately, the West's support for South Sudan probably owes to Western ignorance rather than a newfound Western will to defy Arab imperialists. That is, it is likely that West is doing the right thing today in Sudan because it doesn't understand the ramifications of its own policy.
[...]But again, it isn't just the Arabs that will force Bashir to go to war. He also has the pan-Islamic jihadists to consider. His erstwhile friends in al-Qaida have made clear that they will not take the surrender of southern Sudan to non-Musims lying down.
Osama bin Laden's deputy Ayman al Zawahiri has denounced Bashir for signing the peace agreement with the south. In an article Friday in The Daily Beast, former US National Security Council official Bruce Riedel wrote that in 2009 Zawahiri called on Sudan's Muslims to fight "a long guerilla war," because "the contemporary Crusade has bared its fangs at you."
Zawahiri told Bashir, "to repent and return to the straight path of Islam and jihad."
And it is not only al-Qaida that will feel disconcerted by the south's secession. At a time when jihadist regimes and forces throughout the Arab and Islamic world are using violence to repress Christians and other non-Muslims and force the full implementation of Sharia law, the notion that the Dar el-Islam or Muslim world is shrinking in Sudan is widely perceived as unacceptable. Islamic attacks against the West for its support for southern Sudanese independence are highly likely.
None of this means that the West should end its support for South Sudan. The South Sudanese have earned their independence in a way that most nations never have.
They deserve the support of all nations that value freedom and decency.
But what it does mean is that as they move forward, South Sudan's leaders must recognize that the West is likely to abandon them at the first sign of trouble. They must weigh their options accordingly.
More importantly, the all but certain results of South Sudan's independence serve as yet another reminder to the West about the nature of power, war and friendship.
Power is inextricably linked to the perception of power. You are perceived as powerful when you show you can tell friend from foe, and stand with the former against the latter.
