I thought Atlas readers would get a charge out of the dhimmedia's take on our win for free speech and for apostates in fear of their lives. Of course, the media ran to Muslim Brotherhood-tied CAIR for comment, not to apostates. Every news report cited Hamas-tied CAIR; not one asked aposates or would-be apostates. Where are the comments from Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Ibn Warraq, Wafa Sultan? Michigan leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations Executive Director Dawud Walid said the American Freedom Defense Initiative's ads are "designed to promote Islamophobia." Islamic supremacist Muslim Brotherhood group says our ads to save lives, "are designed to promote Islamophobia." This is more Islamic propaganda to enforce Islamic law of blasphemy (do not insult Islam) and reinforce sharia for converts out of Islam (death). Council of Islamic Relations of Michigan called the ads "another example of a hate group taking advantage of the First Amendment." Pot meet kettle. I mean really. Could these fascists gotten so far without exploiting our freedoms, freedoms void in Muslim countries living under the sharia? How brazen are the stealth jihadists.

US judge rules for Muslim defector bus ads by DAVID N. GOODMAN, Associated Press DETROIT (AP) -- A group that says it helps Muslims quit their faith has won a court order against Detroit's regional transitsystem for rejecting bus ads that ask, "Fatwa on your head? ... Leaving Islam? Got questions? Get answers!" The Michigan leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said the ruling is not the end of the matter and said his group respects the legal process. Executive Director Dawud Walid said the American Freedom Defense Initiative's ads are "designed to promote Islamophobia." DETROIT, April 2 (UPI) -- A judge has ruled an anti-Muslim group has the First Amendment right to run ads on public buses in the Detroit area. The American Freedom Defense Initiative went to court after the Southeastern Michigan Transportation Authority refused to accept the ads, The Detroit News reported. The initiative is run by Pamela Geller, who also heads Stop Islamization of America and is one of the most vocal opponents of the so-called ground-zero mosque in New York. U.S. District Judge Denise Hood granted Geller's group a preliminary injunction Thursday. "This is a huge win, not just for us, but for the First Amendment," Geller said on the initiative's Web site. The ads, to be run on the side of buses, say: "Fatwa on your head? Leaving Islam? Refuge from Islam.com. Got questions? Get answers!" Victor Begg, an adviser to the Council of Islamic Relations of Michigan, said Muslims who want to leave the faith are free to do so. He called the ads "another example of a hate group taking advantage of the First Amendment." U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood this week granted a preliminary injunction in favor of the American Freedom Defense Initiative; its executive director, Pamela Geller; and an associate director after hearing legal arguments last July. The organization, through its attorneys at the Ann Arbor-based Thomas More Law Center, sought to reverse the authority's refusal to display billboard ads stating: "Fatwa on your head? Is your family or community threatening you? Leaving Islam? Got questions? Get Answers!" A fatwa is a religious decree or opinion from a qualified Islamic cleric about the duty of Muslims on a specific subject. Certain fatwas from radical segments have been known in the past to sanction killing a nonbeliever. The American Freedom Defense Initiative, which opposed "Islamic supremacism" and offers to help Muslims leave the faith through its website, brought a lawsuit last March against SMART, General Manager John Hertel and Marketing Program Manager Beth Gibbons. The authority denied its application for billboard space on vehicle exteriors that SMART sells through CBS Outdoor Inc., citing a content restriction policy that bars advertising for "political or political campaign advertising" or ads that are "likely to hold up to scorn or ridicule any person or group of persons," according tocourt records. Hood ruled this week that the American Freedom Defense Initiative had a chance of proving in court that it had suffered "irreparable harm" from a First Amendment violation. "Given the arbitrary nature of SMART's policy and decision-making practices, (the American Freedom Defense Initiative and its directors) have a high likelihood of succeeding on the merits with respect to whether the restriction of their speech was unreasonable in this case," the ruling states. The ad says: “Fatwa on your head? Is your family or community threatening you? Leaving Islam? Got questions? Get Answers!” It also contains the website address for the organization. Ironically, an earlier ad placed on SMART buses by the Detroit Coalition of Reason, a collection of atheist, freethinker and humanist groups, was a key factor in the ruling. That ad said: “Don’t believe in God? You’re not alone.” The judge’s ruling was almost inevitable. SMART is a government agency that has allowed other groups to place controversial political and religious ads on their buses. It cannot, under numerous precedents, reject an ad based on its political or religious viewpoint or content. The advocacy group says the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation violated the group's First and 14th Amendment rights by rejecting the ads it submitted May 12. "There is a strong likelihood," the judge wrote, that the ad's promoters could show that the bus company's decision to reject the ads "was not reasonable but rather arbitrary and capricious." Hood set a conference on the case for April 11. Richard Thompson, president of the Ann Arbor-based center, said Hood's decision "represents a victory for free speech, but the battle is not over." Thompson's group filed suit in U.S. District Court in Detroit on behalf of the group sponsoring the ads and group leaders Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer. Geller leads an organization called Stop Islamization of America, and Spencer is head of the group Jihad Watch. The Detroit area has one of the nation's most concentrated Muslim populations. About 300,000 people in the area have roots in the Arab world. The Michigan leader of the Council on American-Islamic Relations said the ruling is not the end of the matter and said his group respects the legal process. Executive Director Dawud Walid said the American Freedom Defense Initiative's ads are "designed to promote Islamophobia." "This organization has been designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group in the same way as the Ku Klux Klan," Walid said. The ads are headlined, "Leaving Islam?" The text says: "Fatwa on your head? Is your family or community threatening you? Got questions? Get answers!" Geller said the ads have run on buses in New York and Miami. "I am thrilled, not just for the protection of free speech, but for those living in danger who will be helped by our freedom buses," Geller said in a posting on her website. AFDI was not named as a hate group, but CAIR just lies and lies and lies and expects no one will call Dawud on his dawah. Dawah (conversion) ads for Islam below -- San Francisco Twin Cities Miami Thousands of blogs, books, columns, and speeches, and here these devout and pious fellas have conveyed the message better than I ever could. I am anxious to hear all of the Islamic supremacists groups (CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MAS, MSA, etc.) fiercely rebuke and denounce these Muslims as viciously as they denounce counter jihad fighters. UPDATE: Your taxpayer dollars at work. Hat tip HP America is sharpening the sword for the Indonesians and all Muslim's Countries to use to lop off our heads... Rosemary Cain, who lost her firefighter son, George, putting the remains in the same space as the museum is “like a freak show.” Atlas readers are well aware of the atrocity taking place at the 911 Memorial and Museum. "a dispute over what to do with those fragments of humanity is simmering between some of the victims’ families and the officials planning the National September 11 Memorial and Museum underneath where the twin towers stood" The remains of the victims of the September 11th Islamic attack on this country do not belong to those ghouls at the 911 Memorial and Museum (Ground Zero mosqueteer Daisy the Khan is on their advisory board). Alice Greenwald, the museum’s director, said. “When you go to the genocide museum in Phnom Penh, when you go to genocide museums all around Rwanda, there have been decisions in those places to present corpses, skulls, evidence of human remains. Greenwald's groteque equivalence between what we ought to do with what they do in third world countries is indicative of the soul-less elitest who have co-opted the narrative and traffics in the Leading experts in the field agree with the 911 families. One such expert, Dr. Colwell-Chanthaphonh, dismissed museum officials' contention that the human remains would be hidden, “they are essentially incorporating the human remains room into the visitor experience.” He also raised the question of consent, noting that in the celebrated “Body Worlds” exhibitions, every individual whose body was put on display had signed a form giving permission. None of these 911 family members gave consent. And when museum curators circulated a petition among their peers “trying to apply some pressure” on the museum, 911 museum officials contacted them. “They said we were being manipulated by the advocacy groups, that there was another side to the story and that we needed to talk to them.” How depraved are these tyrants? These families want their loved ones remains respected and these grossly overpaid bureaucrats call them "advocacy groups." Joe Daniels, the memorial and museum’s president, disagreed. “What the families need most and what the public needs most is a memorial they can come to to pay their respects at. The hubris of this creep. He is going to tell the 911 family members what they need. Fire this bastard. Joe Daniels pocketed $371,307 after receiving hefty raises three years in a row -- 28 percent in 2006, followed by 12 percent and 6 percent. From where? Donations from unsuspecting Americans, school children and bake sales ...... Museum director Alice Greenwald made $351,000, and capital planning Vice President Joan Gerner soaked up $337,143 before leaving last spring. Development director Cathy Blaney raked in $322,292. The full-time foundation employee also worked last year as a fund-raiser for Gov. Cuomo's election campaign. The money to pay the $5.3 million in compensation for the foundation's 87 staffers in 2009 came from private donations -- $220 million raised in a Herculean grass-roots effort to honor the 2,974 victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. Atlas readers, please start working the phones and your email lists. We must help the 911 families rescue their loved ones' remains from becoming a circus sideshow: Email to Joe Daniels, President, 9/11 Memorial Museum: Email Mayor Bloomberg, Chairman, 9/11 Memorial Museum For 9/11 Museum, Dispute Over Victims’ Remains NY Times IN one of the haunting legacies of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center, the remains of 1,123 of the victims, 41 percent of the total, have not been identified, leaving many of their relatives yearning for closure. At the same time, nearly 10 years later, 9,041 pieces of human remains — mainly bone fragments but also tissue that has been dehydrated for preservation — are still being sorted through by the city’s medical examiner for DNA, though the last time a connection was made was in 2009. Now, a dispute over what to do with those fragments of humanity is simmering between some of the victims’ families and the officials planning the National September 11 Memorial and Museum underneath where the twin towers stood. Officials plan to take the grisly souvenirs seven stories below ground and place them in the new museum behind a wall with a quotation from Virgil about never forgetting, studded in letters of World Trade Center steel. But the families, appalled by the idea of remains that could belong to their loved ones being turned into a lure for tourists, want them kept in a separate above-ground memorial that would be treated like hallowed ground. “To allow remains to be put in a museum, really for gawkers,” marveled Sally Regenhard, the mother of a 28-year-old probationary firefighter and aspiring writer, Christian, who died on Sept. 11, 2001. “I personally feel I’ve been robbed of access to where my son’s remains are potentially being buried. My entire family, we will never go in there. This is a post-traumatic stress situation waiting to happen.” How to handle remains is one of the most delicate questions that confront those trying to commemorate the darker chapters of human history. Over the past 20 years, museums across the country have grappled with how to repatriate Native American skeletons, scalps and bones to their tribal heirs, as prescribed by a 1990 federal law. At its inception, the United StatesHolocaust Memorial Museum in Washington debated whether to display human hair from the Nazi death camps, and decided not to when some survivors felt it would be offensive. The plan at the World Trade Center is for the remains to be invisible and inaccessible to the public, museum officials said; an adjoining room will be available to victims’ families for contemplation and grief. Although people would have to enter the museum to get to the remains, the remains will technically be in the custody of the medical examiner, so that they may be removed for future testing. Alice Greenwald, the museum’s director, said that because the museum would be at ground zero, it had a special place in history. “Yad Vashem is not the site of an atrocity,” Ms. Greenwald said. “When you go to the genocide museum in Phnom Penh, when you go to genocide museums all around Rwanda, there have been decisions in those places to present corpses, skulls, evidence of human remains. When you go to Auschwitz, the entire facility is made up of human remains. “Most American museums have not confronted the particular issue that we are dealing with here,” she added. “The only place one could repatriate those remains to is the Word Trade Center site.” Indeed, Ms. Greenwald said that was what a “majority of families have actually said over the years” that they wanted. Certainly, not all of the victims’ relatives oppose the plan: some are on the museum’s board. The dissenting families, including some of the most active and vocal leaders of the victims’ groups that sprang up in the aftermath of the attack, say that they supported a plan for placing the remains in something akin to the Tomb of the Unknowns, separate from the museum, but that they were shocked to learn that instead they would be housed near the main exhibition spaces. Several families said that officials sent letters to the heirs of all 2,752 victims, asking for the proper spelling of their names for panels that would adorn the memorial plaza, but that they learned of the new plan only by chance, when they attended a presentation about the museum at St. Paul’s Chapel, in Lower Manhattan, in 2009. “The names were important to us, of course, but what could be more important than our loved ones’ remains?” asked Rosaleen Tallon, whose brother, Sean, a probationary firefighter, was killed when the north tower collapsed. Those upset about the plans contacted David Hurst Thomas, a curator at the American Museum of Natural History in New York, who then brought in Chip Colwell-Chanthaphonh, an expert on the repatriation of Native American remains at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science. Dr. Colwell-Chanthaphonh dismissed the argument from museum officials that the remains would be hidden, saying that the Virgil quotation meant “they are essentially incorporating the human remains room into the visitor experience.” He also raised the question of consent, noting that in the celebrated “Body Worlds” exhibitions,every individual whose body was put on display had signed a form giving permission. “We know none of those individuals gave their consent to be on display or part of a museum exhibit,” Dr. Colwell-Chanthaphonh said of the 9/11 victims. “And we know there are lineal descendants and people in this community who are saying, ‘We want a role in this,’ and yet their requests for meaningful consultation are being denied to them.” Shortly after the two curators circulated a nationwide petition among their colleagues, “trying to apply some pressure” on the museum, Dr. Colwell-Chanthaphonh said, officials contacted them. “They said we were being manipulated by the advocacy groups, that there was another side to the story and that we needed to talk to them.” The curators and family groups met in June, but were unable to come to a resolution. As the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks approaches — and, with it, the scheduled opening of the first part of the memorial — concern is resurfacing. To Rosemary Cain, who lost her firefighter son, George, putting the remains in the same space as the museum is “like a freak show.” Ms. Regenhard said she imagined having to squeeze past hordes of museum-goers, retracing the steps of victims trying to escape the burning World Trade Center, to get to what may be her son’s remains. Joe Daniels, the memorial and museum’s president, disagreed. “What the families need most and what the public needs most is a memorial they can come to to pay their respects at,” he said, “and a museum where they can come to learn about events; not reopening decisions that were made in the past.” Read the rest. I am very glad the NY Times addressed this crime.

Post to twitter and your facebook pages. Do it. Today I was the keynote speaker at a conference at the National Press Club to expose the covert expansion of Al Jazeera into the United States. Pamela Hall was there, and she'll have video and pics posted this weekend. Your taxpayer dollars at work. Al Jazeera is being broadcast on MHz Networks, a division of Commonwealth Public Broadcasting, which receives over three million in taxpayer dollars. Would we have subsidized Tokyo Rose or the Mufti Al Husseini's radio broadcasts during World War II? Well, that's exactly what we are doing now. Commonwealth Public Broadcasting is a "public supported charity" exempt from federal income tax. A complaint has been filed with the FCC. This is in violation. Contact Peter King's office and demand hearings. Al Jazeera is totally owned and paid for by the Emir of Qatar, whose net worth is upwards of two billion dollars, and yet we are subsidizing his Muslim Brotherhood propaganda. How our Secretary of State Hillary Clinton can describe Al Jazeera as giving real news is beyond the pale. Al Jazeera's target is clear -- to enable and assist jihadi groups to overthrow the US-allied regimes. Al Jazeera's role in Egypt reminds Jerry Kenney of the arsonist who wants credit for the ferocity of the fire and destruction. 1.2 billion lawsuit against Al Jazeera in the Southern District by the Israel, Canadian and American families of the victims for assissting Hezballah. Partial text of my remarks. "The language of lies." No organization has done as much damage to spread hate, lies and incitement to violence as Al Jazeera. Al-Jazeera is the leading terrorist propaganda organization in the world. Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised al-Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al-Jazeera also has for years been the recipient of numerous al-Qaeda videos featuring bin Laden, Zawahiri, and American traitor Adam Gadahn. Yet they never seem to be able to trace where these videos are coming from. They have repeatedly been set up at the point of attack right before the bomb went off, so that they could take the picture of the slaughtered, dismembered bodies. How did they know? They are no different from al-Manar, the “broadcast” station for Hizballah. And al-Manar is designated a terrorist organization by the State Department. It’s clear to any objective observer that al-Jazeera is sympathetic to the global jihad, and a strong case can be made that it is complicit in those jihadist activities. In November 2010, ninety-one American, Israeli and Canadian victims of Hizballah rocket attacks filed an unprecedented lawsuit against Al-Jazeera in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, charging that al-Jazeera “intentionally provided real-time coverage of the locations of missile strikes inside Israel in violation of Israeli security regulations, thereby enabling Hezbollah to aim its missiles more accurately.” The war in the information battle-space is as critical as what goes on in the battlefields of Afghanistan, Iraq and now Libya. The violent jihadi attacks in America, Europe, India, Israel, Lebanon, Ethiopia, Thailand, Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia, et al, constitute but one front in the global jihad. The propaganda is just as critical, if not more so, as we witness whole regions succumbing to the most radical and extreme ideology on the face of the earth. Islam is the only religion with a propaganda arm, and its most powerful outlet for dissemination of disinformation, Islamic Jew-hatred, scrubbing of ethnic cleansing, gender apartheid, jihadi wars, land appropriations and cultural annihilations is Al-Jazeera. Reasoned and rational free men have long known the pernicious influence of this jihadist news organization. But the recent legitimization and outrageous “lauding” of their coverage by mainstream news outlets is not only dangerous, but it’s civilizational suicide. Stop the expansion of the enemy propaganda in the United States. Al-Jazeera is also closely tied to the Muslim Brotherhood, an international Islamic supremacist organization dedicated in its own words, according to a captured internal document, to “eliminating and destroying Western civilization from within.” Ikhwanweb.com, the website of the Brotherhood, has praised al-Jazeera as “the Greatest Arab Media Organization." According to Zvi Mazel, a former Israeli ambassador to Egypt, al-Jazeera is “under a very heavy influence of the Muslim Brothers. The director general of al-Jazeera, Wadah Khanfar is a Muslim Brother." Arab scholar Mamoun Fandy calls Al-Jazeera "the Muslim Brotherhood channel." He explained that "Al-Jazeera … is already propagandizing for the organization. … If you watch a debate program presented on Al-Jazeera … you will be amazed at the supreme effort … to defend the Muslim Brotherhood." Pierre Akel, founder and editor of the noted Arabic web site Metransparent.com, agreed, saying: "When it comes to satellite television in the region, Al-Jazeera is controlled by the Muslim Brotherhood." Tunisian democracy activist Khaled Shawkat wrote: "Al-Jazeera has been hijacked by the Muslim Brotherhood organization." The Brotherhood’s leading spiritual authority, Sheikh Yusuf Al-Qaradawi, is a foremost presence on al-Jazeera. Qaradawi has justified and praised suicide attacks against Israeli civilians, the death penalty for apostates from Islam, and other Islamic supremacist positions. The liberal Muslim Abu Khawla wrote that “in the case of Al-Jazeera, preacher Al-Qaradawi (a leading figure of Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood) is one of its most influential founding members. And fundamentalists are in charge of its news programs and talk shows." Journalist Youssef Ibrahim added: "One of the most eminent leaders of the Ikhwan movement, who appears weekly on Al-Jazeera's ‘Sharia and Life' program, is Sheik Yusuf Al-Qaradawi. He has specifically ruled that Americans in Iraq and Israelis everywhere should be targeted by suicide bombers, who will be considered martyrs and heroes." Mr. Ibrahim also noted that Sheik Qaradawi "ranks among the top 10 leaders of the Ikhwan's international ruling councils." The Ikhwan is the Muslim Brotherhood. The supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mahdi Akef, appeared on Al-Jazeera on July 30, 2006, and said: "This American Satan claims to be a messenger of divine guidance. ... I salute all the honorable Americans who stand up to this Satan, who wants to set the entire world on fire, not just the Arab and Islamic nation. I go back to the issue of jihad. Jihad is an individual duty incumbent upon every Muslim." In line with all this was the recent Wikileaks revelation that Mossad Director Meir Dagan predicted that al-Jazeera would be the next cause of war in the Middle East. Now Al Jazeera is in talks with Comcast and Time Warner to bring Al Jazeera’s Children’s Channel to the U.S. as early as 2012. Programming on that channel includes Saladin, a cartoon that tells the story of the Crusades from the vantage point of a Muslim warrior, and a documentary about children living in the Gaza Strip that bewails trumped-up Israeli “atrocities." Do not accept the Goebbels network of the Fourth Reich. Join me in fighting this scourge. While Bibles are destroyed, desecrated and banned from Muslim countries, and Christians, Jews, and Hindus are systematically persecuted, slaughtered and oppressed -- this horror. Killing UN employees, an organization voluntarily and largely driven by the Organization of the Islamic Conference. Instead of a thank you, one big FU. Al Jizz implies that the preacher made 'em do it; that's how in control the Muslim world is of the narrative. Eight foreign employees of the United Nations in Afghanistan have been killed after protesters overran their compound in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif. Two of the dead were beheaded by attackers who also burned parts of the compound and climbed up blast walls to topple a guard tower, said Lal Mohammad Ahmadzai, a police spokesman for the northern region. It is believed to be the deadliest ever attack on the UN in Afghanistan. Over a thousand protesters had flooded into the streets of the normally peaceful city after Friday prayers to denounce the burning of Islam's holy book, the Koran, by a US pastor, and after two or three hours violence broke out. Police fired into the air in an unsuccessful bid to control the crowd. A United Nations spokesman confirmed employees had been killed but declined to comment on numbers of dead or their nationalities, saying reports from the scene were confusing. Staffan De Mistura, the top UN diplomat in Afghanistan, has flown to Mazar-i-Sharif to handle the situation personally. A police source, who declined to be named as he was not authorised to speak to the media, said protesters had stormed into the compound where they attacked the victims. The chief of the mission in the city was wounded but survived, and the dead included employees of Norwegian, Romanian and Swedish nationalities, he added. Russia called on the Afghan government and international forces to "take all necessary measures" to protect UN workers in a statement issued by the foreign ministry after the attack. If the death toll given by the Afghan police is correct, it would make it the deadliest attack on the United Nations in Afghanistan. The worst previous attack was an insurgent assault on a guesthouse where UN staff were staying in October 2009. Five employees were killed and nine others wounded. But it was not clear if Friday's killings had any direct link to the insurgency, or were simply a product of broader anti-Western sentiment. Mazar-i-Sharif has remained relatively peaceful as the insurgency gathers force in other parts of the north, and was recently chosen as one of the first areas for a transition of security from Nato troops to Afghan forces. Long-standing anger over civilian casualties has been heightened by the Koran burning and the recent publication of gruesome photographs of the body of an unarmed Afghan teenager killed by U.S. soldiers. The Christian preacher Terry Jones, who after international condemnation last year cancelled a plan to burn copies of the Koran, supervised the burning of the book in front of a crowd of about 50 people at an obscure church in Florida on Sunday, according to his website. The Koran burning was denounced by Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, and Pakistan's President Asif Ali Zardari. "The special representative to the [UN] Secretary General, Stephane de Mastura, is on his way to Mazar-i-Sharif now to deal with the situation personally on the ground," the spokesperson said. Daud Daud, commander of Afghan National Police in the north, said five Nepalese guards were amongst those killed.

(KABC) -- A security alert was reportedly issued at Camp Pendleton after three Middle-Eastern men in two vehicles drove onto the base under suspicious circumstances Saturday night around midnight. The drivers said they didn't know each other, but both said they were lost and trying to get to Glendale. One of the drivers reportedly ignored orders to wait at the main gate and drove onto the base. A search turned up no weapons. But an airbag had been pulled out and reattached with duct tape and wires were hanging free. The next morning the other driver returned to the base and said he made a mistake and was trying to get onto Interstate 5. A background check showed that the men all had clean records.

When Hezb'Allah declared war on Israel in the Summer of 2006 and Israel kicked their sorry jihad asses, the UN brokered a ceasefire -- resolution 1701. John Bolton in January 2007 said here: It could be we are coming to a day of reckoning here on resolution 1701 and whether the cessation of hostilities that was established between Hezb'Allah and Israel is going to remain acceptable. I would hope the United States in the near future begins to take the next step that we made a conscious decision not to make in 1701 and that is disarming Hezb'Allah. The unspoken premise of 1701 was first you stop them from getting external assistance by imposing an arms embargo but then the next step is to disarm Hezb'allah and we have not done anything on that. We are at the point , we have got to move to that second step. Ya think? Look at this map. These "people" live solely to annihilate the Jewish people. Look at it. Without their all consuming Jew hatred, what on earth would they do with their worthless lives? And the world yawns at Hizballah's country-within-a-country, complete with "the strongest armed force in Lebanon." "Israel releases army map showing nearly 1,000 purported Hezbollah underground military sites," from the Washington Post, March 31 (thanks to all who sent this in): Where's the outrage? Not in Washington, apparently, where the Obama administration is considering reaching out to "nonmilitary components" in Hizballah and Hamas that they suppose "can be drawn into a dialogue." Remember also that in 2004, U.N. Resolution 1559 demanded the disarmament of all Lebanese militia groups. Hizballah is the only group from Lebanon's civil war that failed to do so. They have had seven years not only to ignore this resolution (just like almost everyone else has where Hizballah is concerned), but to build an even larger army in defiance of it. Freedom buses will run in Detroit! We won in our free speech lawsuit against Detroit. Huge props to our stealth legal team David Yerushalmi and Robert Muise. Prideful plaintiff here. Legal warriors nonpareil. This is a huge win, not just for us, but for the First Amendment. Geller Vs. Detroit While there are technical aspects of First Amendment law in the opinion that my lawyers question, the result was correct and the judge recognized, as highlighted in the court’s opinion, that SMART hung itself during cross examination. This is a huge win, not just for AFDI but for the First Amendment, and a defeat for all those who claim that I am a hater because I am willing to talk about what is wrong in Islam, including, as in this case, honor killings and fatwas for apostasy. Perhaps the opposition will better understand the nature of my work. This is a direct refutation to all those who claim I am a hater or that my lawyers are "haters" for representing me. I love, not hate, and I fight for love, art, music and freedom! And, huge kudos to Judge Denise Hood, who protected free speech and did not take any swipes at my message, which she could have (like saying, “while we might despise AFDI’s message, we must protect it…”). She did not do that. Good for her. It took awhile, but the wheels of justice ........ I am thrilled, not just for the protection of free speech, but for those living in danger who will be helped by our freedom buses. Next stop San Francisco ........

Photo: Neda Soltan, one of thousands slaughtered in Iran during the peaceful protests for democracy (see here and here) in 2009.Obama's priorities. There is one constant in Obama's foreign policy: he has consistently sided with our worst enemies throughout his disastrous presidency. This is very thoroughly explained and meticulously documented in my book, The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America. Why Libya? It would be one thing if Obama had been fighting the forces of jihad through a muscular foreign policy. News has "leaked" that Obama authorized a secret war in Libya weeks ago -- imagine if a Republican ever pulled a fatal stunt like that. And if it was secret, why is Obama leaking it? Why Libya? Why wasn't such action taken when millions took to the streets in Iran, so as to cut off the head of the snake? June 17th, 2009: BACKING THE MULLAHS: OBAMA'S COWARDICE AND HYPOCRISY IN IRAN Iran has been supporting the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the unrest in Bahrain, Afghanistan, Iraq, etc. You don't go to war at once, you go to war at last. And Iran has been at war with us and the free world for decades. Instead, our finest, bravest Americans are risking their lives to fight alongside al qaeda in Libya. What could possibly be the end game here, whilst Al-Qaeda is snatching missiles in Libya? The "rebels" that Obama has secretly authorized to arm sold Hizballah and Hamas chemical shells. I am not a fan of Gaddafi -- there are no heroes in this story -- but Saddam Hussein made Gaddafi look like Angelina Jolie, and yet the left is still whining and hand wringing about that war. But they support this. What is their premise? Bush went to Congress and went to the UN (and gave Saddam, the butcher of Baghdad, a year to move and/or destroy his weapons of mass destruction). Obama just went to war -- without Congress, without even discussing it with the American people. And again I ask, as I have repeatedly for weeks, why? Why Libya? Why Gaddafi? Assad in Syria is much worse than, say, Mubarak in Egypt, but Obama vows not to interfere in that vassal of Iran, despite the slaughter of their people. And Obama supports the Muslim Brotherhood, which is steadily taking control in Egypt. To what end? Why hasn't Obama taken such action against the jihad pirates in Somalia? Why not a "secret war" in Ethiopia to aid their fight against the jihad? Or aid for the fight against jihad in Thailand, the Philippines, Indonesia? Because we can't be everywhere, nor should we be. So we pick our fights based on where we could do the most good and remove the biggest evil. Iran should have been the target. The mullahcracy should have been removed. Why Libya? Exclusive: Obama authorizes secret help for Libya rebels | Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, government officials told Reuters on Wednesday. Obama signed the order, known as a presidential "finding", within the last two or three weeks, according to four U.S. government sources familiar with the matter. Such findings are a principal form of presidential directive used to authorize secret operations by the Central Intelligence Agency. The CIA and the White House declined immediate comment. News that Obama had given the authorization surfaced as the President and other U.S. and allied officials spoke openly about the possibility of sending arms supplies to Gaddafi's opponents, who are fighting better-equipped government forces.
AFDI FREE SPEECH VICTORY: WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
U.S. District Judge Denise Page Hood granted a preliminary injunction Thursday against the bus system, which was sued last year by the American Freedom Defense Initiative.
The advocacy group says the Suburban Mobility Authority for Regional Transportation violated the group's First and 14th Amendment rights by rejecting the ads it submitted May 12.
"There is a strong likelihood," the judge wrote, that the ad's promoters could show that the bus company's decision to reject the ads "was not reasonable but rather arbitrary and capricious." Hood set a conference on the case for April 11.
SMART declined comment on the case Friday. In court filings, the bus system said its policies against political and several other types of ads are constitutional.
[...]
"This organization has been designated by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group in the same way as the Ku Klux Klan," Walid said.
The ads are headlined, "Leaving Islam?" The text says: "Fatwa on your head? Is your family or community threatening you? Got questions? Get answers!"
Geller said the ads have run on buses in New York and Miami.
"I am thrilled, not just for the protection of free speech, but for those living in danger who will be helped by our freedom buses," Geller said in a posting on her website.
“We are not descended from fearful men,” Edward R. Murrow once said. That’s true of all variety of Americans, including Muslim-Americans. Surely, they can survive the indignity of a mildly offensive bus ad.
What we can’t survive is an attempt, however small, to chip away at the First Amendment.
The same First Amendment protecting Pamela Geller’s marketing effort also protects Muslims’ right to build the Park51 Community Center, even though some people want to protect from redevelopment the hallowed ground of Manhattan’s bankrupt Burlington Coat Factory.
This is also the same First Amendment that allows reasonable Americans of good will to call out Geller and her ilk (be it Pastor Terry Jones or the Thomas More Law Center’s Richard Thompson) as little better than shaved and fumigated Klansmen ginning up hate against a group of American citizens who pose no more of a threat to this nation than the Knights of Columbus.
In the false Clash of Civilizations that occupies so much of the feeble brains belonging to both Islamists and Christianists, we should all choose the proverbial “C”...the rights and values laid out in the U.S. Constitution.Judge rules against SMART in suit over Muslim-defector bus ads - Crain's Detroit Business

I think that the enhanced UNIFIL which was agreed to with a lot of fanfare as part of resolution 1701 has not been successful in fully accomplishing the mission that we wanted to give to it. There's no doubt Syria and Iran have very substantially resupplied and rearmed Hezb'Allah. The UNIFIL people have done essentially nothing about it.Those shipments across the Lebanese Syrian border have been reported by the UN itself not something that comes just from the United States.
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military on Thursday released a map detailing what it says are nearly 1,000 underground bunkers, weapons storage facilities and monitoring sites built by the militant Hezbollah guerrillas in southern Lebanon.
Many of the sites on the map are located south of the Litani River in Lebanon, the zone where Hezbollah is banned from keeping weapons under the U.N.-sponsored truce that ended Israel’s summer 2006 war with the guerrilla group.
An article on the military spokesman’s website says Hezbollah has set up some 550 bunkers, 300 monitoring sites and 100 weapons storage facilities. The facilities are located in 270 villages, and many are located near hospitals, private homes and schools, the military said in a statement published on its website.
Israel and Hezbollah went to war after the Lebanese guerrilla group killed three Israeli soldiers and captured two others in a cross-border raid. Although Israel inflicted heavy damage on the group, it was unable to prevent it from firing some 4,000 rockets into Israel during the monthlong conflict.
Since then, Israel has accused Hezbollah of repeatedly violating the U.N.-brokered cease-fire by restocking its arsenal and covertly moving forces into south Lebanon, near the Israeli border. The map released Thursday was meant to provide new evidence against Hezbollah.
Israel believes Hezbollah now has more than 40,000 rockets, nearly three time the pre-war level, including more powerful weapons capable of reaching Israel’s Tel Aviv heartland.
The militant group, which controls the strongest armed force in Lebanon, did not acknowledge or deny that the Israeli map was accurate and accused Israel of employing scare tactics....

Geller is an ever-loving Islamophobe. Under the Constitution, she has every right to share her thoughts on the subject through bus advertisements that would otherwise promote WADL’s weekday line-up.
UPI headline calls us "anti-Muslim." I am counter jihad, not anti-Muslim. I love people. I fight extreme, misogynist, genocidal ideologies. These ads save lives.
The mind reels. Kudos to Crains for objective, responsible reporting:
