Obama Won’t Say Who Killed Daniel Pearl
commentary mag. ^ | 5/18/10 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 05/18/2010 9:08:26 AM PDT by Nachum

At a signing ceremony for the Freedom of Press Act, it is ironic and shameful that Obama could not bring himself to identify the killers who beheaded the man who fearlessly reported on the jihadist terrorists. Obama had this to say: All around the world there are enormously courageous journalists and bloggers who, at great risk to themselves, are trying to shine a light on the critical issues that the people of their country face; who are the frontlines against tyranny and oppression. (Snip) If you didn’t know already, you’d never figure out that he was talking about the Islamic fundamentalists who butchered Pearl.

Funny how the media made such a celebrity out of Cindy Sheehan and they completely ignore the Pearls.

Daniel Pearl was Butchered.

Ignoring it condones it.

I never watched that video that was spread all over the web - and I will never understand how anyone else can - but I will never forget the way people described it. Why hasn’t the government ever been more upset about that incident? No... instead we should feel guilty about pouring water on terrorists, or making sure that they have non-pork products in prison. This makes me sick!

The entirety of this big giant and important act is a recommendation that the State Department make a list of countries that allow abuse of journalists.

When the Mumbai terrorist was awarded the death penalty in India, an argument used in court to favour the same was Daniel Pearl’s murder. The terrorist who organised the execution was a Pakistan-ethnicity Briton, who was arrested by the Indian security forces when he entered Kashmir and organised a kidnapping of tourists, there. A hijacking of an Indian plane in Nepal, in 1999 allowed his Pakistani handlers to force the Indian government to release this individual. Had he been awarded the death penalty promptly, per law, for the kidnapping, this could have been avoided.

Additional info:

The tourists were all befriended by young British Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh who was a member of Harkat-ul-Ansar and pretending to be an Indian by the name of Rohit Sharma.

Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh had been in Indian prison in connection with 1994 Kidnappings of Western tourists in India, and had been freed by the Indian government in exchange for passengers aboard hijacked Indian Airlines Flight 814 in December 1999.

Connection with 9-11: On October 6, 2001, a senior-level U.S. government official, told CNN that U.S. investigators had discovered Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh (Sheik Syed), using the alias “Mustafa Muhammad Ahmad” had sent about $100,000 from the United Arab Emirates to Mohammed Atta.

Obama has well proven himself a deceitful man (and his followers deceived people), and this frees us from playing good-faith games with him (and them). No reason for us to play the fool.

We must call on the Living God to expose this man and all his schemes by the light of Christ. Obama is led around by Satan like every other lost person, only he is presented as the epitome of worldly élan and intelligence, and for many this covers over all his misdeeds. Yet God could expose him as an utter sham in such a manner that no one could deny he is America’s enemy.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, and deliver us from these wicked men!

it reminded us that there are those who would go to any length in order to silence journalists around the world."

For example, like forbidding the use of correct name of those who are waging war on the civilized world...those who, in fact, killed Daniel Pearl in the very name of that religion which shall not be named!

In other news, foxes around the world gathered in Las Vegas to celebrate their great progress in managing chicken coops.

You're much too kind!

Obama is not led around by Satan...he gleefully chases after Satan and uses every Satanic trick in the book to deceive his followers.

You attribute innocence to a man not just guilty...but a man who is doing the Devil's work as though he were born to it!

If Obama isn't Satan's son, Satan would be hard pressed to spawn one better.

Actually, I thought he was referring to those evil people in Arizona who support the new immigration law....

“Obama Won’t Say Who Killed Daniel Pearl”

Don’t rule out the possibility that he doesn’t know. His administration is proving to be one of the most ill-informed in history, since they apparently don’t have to know anything to have an opinion about it.

Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2007/03/ksm_i_beheaded_.html

KSM written declaration submitted to a military tribunal at Guantanamo : “I decapitated with blessed right hand the head of the American Jew, Daniel Pearl, in the city of Karachi, Pakistan.”

Obama also traveled to Pakistan as a Muslim.

Yup:

In July 2002, Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, a British national of Pakistani origin, was sentenced to death by hanging for Pearl’s abduction and murder.

In March 2007, at a closed military hearing in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed said that he had personally beheaded Pearl

A number of threads on the amazingly ignorant comments of Commander in Chief B. H. Obama. Cutting off the Jews head ‘captured the world’s imagination’ and reminded the world of the importance of having free press

My name is Daniel Pearl. I am a Jewish American from Encino, California USA. I come from, uh, on my father's side the family is Zionist. My father's Jewish, my mother's Jewish, I'm Jewish. My family follows Judaism. We've made numerous family visits to Israel. Back in the town of Bnei Brak there is a street named after my great grandfather Chaim Pearl who is one of the founders of the town

Cut!. The neck, not the film.
