Dueling in Dearborn over murder of a 20-year-old woman

In Dearborn Mich., a Detroit suburb known for its concentration of Muslim Americans, anti-Islam leaders from around the country are gathering to discuss how to rescue women from that faith. The "Jessica Mokdad Human Rights Conference on Honor Killings" on Sunday is named for a local Muslim woman murdered one year ago.

But Muslims, civil rights groups and other religious leaders say the conference is merely another event put on by well-known bigots to attack the minority religion. Their response was to schedule a town hall meeting just a few miles away on Sunday called "Rejecting Islamophobia: A Community Stand Against Hate."

The honor killing conference, organized by Pamela Geller, who became nationally famous for her vocal opposition to the Ground Zero Mosque, aka Park 51 in Manhattan, is based on the premise that Mokdad, 20 years old when she died in April 2011, was the victim of an honor killing justified by Islam.

Stop the Islamization of America, which Geller and Spencer founded, has been listed as a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, a non-profit civil rights watchdog.

SPLC isn't a government entity and doesn't have the power to "list" a group as a "hate group".

They can only accuse, or, as in this case, commit libel by publishing this accusation.

[Amberdawn]

Yes, Mark Potok of the SPLC is “discussed” frequently on thisainthell.us because of his stupid statements about veterans, so this is par for the course for him.

Women in that cult of Izzlum founded by the pedophile are no better off than a hog in the pen. They are treated like garbage. Real tough men who murder their daughters because they went outside without "daddy" there to watch over them. The religion of hate, murder and death.

[a fool in paradise]

Does the SouthPov Law Center also brand the ACLU and Citizens United For Separation of Church and State as anti-Christian hate groups?

Those groups don’t have a problem with Islamic law making inroads into America. Those groups don’t have a problem with the theocratic government of Saudi Arabia funding Islamic colonizing of America.

This is settled land. We don’t need foreign governments establishing State religion on our shores.

>"to attack the minority religion."

They say that like it's a bad thing.

Even though it's partially against the 1st amendment, islam needs to be banned.

Theirs is the religion of slavery and death. It doesn't deserve our constitutional rights. It is an anethma compared to EVERY OTHER RELIGION!

"Even though it's partially against the 1st amendment, islam needs to be banned."

No, it is not. I have said on this forum many times that Islam needs to be banned from America, and I'm a strict Constitutionalist.

Islam is far more of a governmental approach; a totalitarian, violent, oppressive, demeaning, freedom-choking, death-dealing cult that demands the fealty of EVERYONE, not just its own twisted adherents.

It's a form of dictatorship that has no place in America, especially when their goals are public and constantly stated, their methods are well known, their propensity for violence, lying, and all manner of such filth are known.

Ban Islam from our shores NOW, and rest assured it is in no way conflicting with our Constitution to do so.

[samadams2000]

Forever mired in islam. (small I used to denote disrespect)

[Travis McGee]

The sick rape and murder cult we call islam enslaves half of its population, and liberals are fine with that.

Amazing.

[susannah59]

You are right.

All those "feminists" who have been screaming about the "war on women" (because they want all contraceptives to be free, maybe, else I can't figure out just exactly what they are talking about) are strangely silent when it comes to how women are treated under Islam- even in this country.

Idiocy.

How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities, but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilization of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilization of ancient Rome. -- Sir Winston Churchill (The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 [London: Longmans, Green & Co., 1899]).

[Jack Hammer]

Surely a quixotic effort; everyone with a brain knows that Moslems insist on their right to murder anyone they choose, provided only that said person disagrees with them on any miniscule point of Islamic dogma.

[Travis McGee]

The same feminists who condemn the Western/American patriarchy would be begging to be rescued by a battalion of macho Marines if they were captured by muslims and enslaved as infidel concubines, totally in keeping with sharia law.

[muir_redwoods]

I no more hate muslims than I hate the weeds I pull from my garden. They are simply worthless life forms I’d be better off without. There cannot be anything of value going on in the head of someone who accepts the nonsense of islam. It’s a death cult based upon the drunken drivel of a murderous pedophile.

[snoringbear]

“The same feminists who condemn the Western/American patriarchy would be begging to be rescued by a battalion of macho Marines if they were captured by muslims and enslaved as infidel concubines, totally in keeping with sharia law.”

Well, I get your point. The only flaw with your logic is with the feminists; being that they are all coyote butt ugly, no self respecting muslim would accept any of them in their harem.

[Travis McGee]

They can also be used as slave breeders. Muslims are not choosy that way.

>>to attack the minority religion. <<

In Dearborn?!?

That’s news to me. Last time I was there, Hamas and Hezbolla had open booths at the Arab International festival. Every street sign and business had Arabic letters, and they had a problem with our dance troop because they weren’t Arabic (we were invited as one of the token white groups that make it “international”).

Those aren’t Chaldeans down there. The Chaldeans are 40 minutes north, by me.

[onedoug]

There can be no bigotry in opposition to the bigotry of islam.

"But Muslims, civil rights groups and other religious leaders say the conference is merely another event put on by well-known bigots to attack the minority religion."

Leave it to the extreme Leftist [PMS]NBC to have one of their Mooselimb (or Moozie sympathizer/appeaser/apologists) report on this conference.

SINCE WHEN are 1.2-1.5 BILLION "believers" in the cult-cum-Religion of Peace, who are representative in every country in the world and in 56 countries (plus Lebanon) the governing authority, a "MINORITY" religion?

Only in the minds of the Liberal tools could that be advanced with a straight face.
