Poll: NY voters opposed to mosque near ground zero (but 27% support Obama's Victory Mosque)
AP ^ | 8/18/10 | MICHAEL GORMLEY

Posted on 08/18/2010 9:58:07 AM PDT by jimbo123

A majority of New Yorkers remain opposed to a mosque proposed as part of a planned Islamic cultural center near ground zero, and the issue will be a factor for many voters this fall, according to a statewide poll released Wednesday.

The Siena College poll showed 63 percent of New York voters surveyed oppose the project, with 27 percent supporting it. That compares with 64 percent opposed and 28 percent in favor two weeks earlier, results that are within the polls' sampling margins.

In terms of support, you have to realize that 9 years after the fact, the vast majority of African-Americans are inclined to believe that 9/11 was an inside job.

That has been the consistent, drumbeat version from "community leaders."

Lets keep America, America!

Obama? Obama and Company? Should be tried for treason in this issue for promoting the establishment of a foreign government on our soils. As a Muslim, he knows this, he knows sharia, but is looking to deceive America.

The first amendment was for religion not the Islamics government in tow called sharia. The founding fathers sought to protect the sovereignty of their baby and would never allow a foreign governmental influence compete with their baby!

When a proposal...no matter what it is... goes before a Town/City/Village, residents are allowed to speak their piece. Churches are NOT allowed to build anywhere. They have to obey the rules like anyone else and part of that process is “We, the People”....

I know enough to KNOW that I don't want America Islamzsized. If these were decent Muslims, they would NOT want to build that mosque THERE. NY state already has 230 mosques in the state! We don't need a mega mosque there. Ideally, I'd like all these evil people deported. Islam is the religion of Satan.

If you look back on history, Islam had more territory than the Roman Empire. Muslims are rebuilding that empire NOW. I don't want MY country part of it. I don't care if they are cafeteria style Muslims. Those people are going along with it too. Very few speak our against it. They fear being critical of Islam.

Muslims are doing the SAME thing they did in Europe. They are also ABUSING our FREEDOM here for SELF GAIN. Sharia Law is the legal arm of Islam. They want Sharia Law HERE too. Then their goal will have been met. DOn't be fooled.

Shariah-Compliant Finance Advisor Picked by Obama as White House Fellow
by Zombie
Pajamas Media
June 25, 2010

On Tuesday, President Obama announced the appointment of this year’s “White House Fellows,” a prestigious program in which outstanding Americans are chosen to work in the White House and receive “first hand, high-level experience with the workings of the Federal government.” According to a White House Press release, one of this year’s Fellows is a young lawyer named Samar Ali:

Samar Ali is an Associate with the firm Hogan Lovells US LLP. She is responsible for counseling clients on mergers & acquisitions, cross-border transactions, Shari’a compliant transactions, project finance, and international business matters.

Left out of the press release is that she also previously worked as an intern and received training at the Islamic International Arab Bank; according to her staff bio at the Hogan Lovells law firm,

Samar’s experience includes advising a Middle Eastern university in the potential establishment of a Foreign Aid Conventional and Shari’ah Compliant Student Loan Program. … Before joining Hogan & Hartson, Samar worked as a summer associate for the firm and as a legal intern for the Islamic International Arab Bank.

One state is preparing itself against Shariah Law

Written by Bruce Walker
Wednesday, 09 June 2010 16:10

Oklahoma lawmakers are supporting an amendment to the Oklahoma Constitution that would prohibit state courts from relying upon Sharia (Islamic law) or international law in deciding cases.

House Joint Resolution 1056 would place the issue before Oklahoma voters in November. This resolution, nicknamed “Save Our State,” has been proposed because of a rising concern with courts citing non-American sources as legal authority. Sharia, in particular, poses a threat to traditional American values. Honor killings and similar crimes are seeping into our nation, with justification under traditional Islamic law an increasingly common concern..

5 Signs Sharia Law Is Coming to a Town Near You
2010 July 14, 2010

Sally Meininger

...
Judicial: Sharia courts are already operating in Britain, but it’s started across the pond too, most recently in Texas, Minnesota, and New Jersey to name a few. This is especially troubling if your president appoints a man sympathetic to Sharia. Harold Koh sees no reason why Sharia law would not be applied to govern a case in the United States.

Legislative: When I vote, I just care that the person running is committed to upholding the U.S. Constitution. I don’t care about gender, race or religion, but these guys give me pause: the North Carolina congressman who refuses to denounce Sharia in the U.S. courts and the Minnesota congressman who swore his oath of office on the Koran. I’m pretty sure the Koran and Sharia have more than a few points in conflict with the Constitution, specifically the first, eighth and thirteenth amendments.

Executive: Before Obama was elected, he went to Kenya to support Raila Odinga, who ran on the platform of imposing Sharia in that country if elected. Um, why? And since then Obama has given a culturally loaded speech to the Muslim world (why not to Mormons? Hari Krishnas?), and has been not just sympathetic, but aggressive in appointing Muslims to key positions–when he’s not literally bowing down to them.

NJ gets its first Muslim superior court judge
Posted on February 18, 2010 by creeping
via University professor becomes first Muslim superior court judge | Watan- Arab American National Newspaper.

A University political science professor became the first Muslim ever to be appointed to the Superior Court in New Jersey on Jan. 27 when he was sworn in to the Family Division of the Court in Somerset County.

Hany Mawla, 36, is also the youngest to be appointed to the Superior Court in the state, said Hesham Mahmoud, media chair of the New Jersey chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee.

Mawla was a partner at Greenbaum, Rowe, Smith and Davis in Woodbridge, where he specialized in family law.

Mawla said he and Davis devised the “Islamic Law and Jurisprudence” course at the University after Sept. 11, 2001, with the help of Abed Awad, an attorney who teaches at Rutgers School of Law-Newark.

Mawla said his involvement in Arab, Muslim and minority concerns is important to him because Arabs have called New Jersey home since 1870, and yet, in his view, they are not featured as prominently in the conversation in the state. He said law is a good way to give his community a voice.

“For me, it was an opportunity to make sure Arabs and Muslims are more a part of the political and civic discourse that occurs in the state,” Mawla said.

Will he use his courtship to give the Arab and Muslim community a voice and be featured prominently in Jersey politics?

Update: The attorney with whom Mawla devised the “Islamic Law and Jurisprudence” course – Abed Awad – defended a Hamas-supporting, terror-website-running, convicted tax-cheating imam.

NASA Chief: Next Frontier Better Relations With Muslim World

Published July 05, 2010

| FoxNews.com

NASA Administrator Charles Bolden said in a recent interview that his “foremost” mission as the head of America's space exploration

agency is to improve relations with the Muslim world.

Though international diplomacy would seem well outside NASA’s orbit, Bolden said in an interview with Al Jazeera that strengthening those ties was among the top tasks President Obama assigned him. He said better interaction with the Muslim world would ultimately advance space travel.

Obama Pronounces Islam A Great Religion

Obama hosts dinner for Islamic holy month
By ANN SANNER (AP)

September 1, 2009

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Tuesday praised American Muslims for enriching the nation’s culture at a dinner to celebrate the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.

“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country,” Obama said at the iftar, the dinner that breaks the holiday’s daily fast.

The president joined Cabinet secretaries, members of the diplomatic corps and lawmakers to pay tribute to what he called “a great religion and its commitment to justice and progress.”

Attendees included Congress’ two Muslim members — Reps. Keith Ellison and Andre Carson as well as ambassadors from Islamic nations and Israel’s ambassador to the United States, Michael Oren…

Obama has made a special effort since taking office to repair U.S. relations with the world’s Muslims, including visits to Turkey and Cairo. In a June speech at the Egyptian capital, as well as in one to another important Muslim audience, in Turkey, Obama said: “America is not — and never will be — at war with Islam.”

No doubt that Bloomburqa, Nancy PelNazi, and Burqarak Hussein Obama are on the take from supporters of Islamic Terrorism

Americans do not want an Islamic Terrorist Hall of Fame near the WTC site.

A vote for any Democrat or Liberal is a vote for Islamic Terrorism

“”There, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT, Pelosi!
Go ahead, investigate ME!””

This woman is nuttier than ever revealed before. She assumes that there has to be an organization behind people who are simply voicing their opposition to ANYTHING in this country. Just because that’s the way the libs do it - libs are unable to think for themselves - not so for the rest of us.

A good example would be the organizations behind all the protests in her beloved bay area and around the country during the ‘60’s....that upset her so much she can still cry about it 40 years later and it was HER PEOPLE who did all the damage then. Pesky facts.......
