Thanks for digging that up. Seems benign for them to have been so mysterious on the radio.

Talks break down between Muslims and Swift”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Talks between JBS Swift & Co. officials and Muslim workers seeking prayer breaks during Ramadan broke down Tuesday afternoon and turned into calls of breach of contract.

The roughly 250 workers, who’ve been suspended since walking off the job Friday night, say they will not return to work and may take legal action. They also acknowledge they may face mass terminations.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “But Isse said the requested prayer breaks — a major issue for Muslims at all times but especially during Ramadan — was rejected by management.

“The thing they didn’t agree with was the prayer (breaks),” Isse said. “And that was the whole problem from the start.”

Upon hearing that news, a group of disgruntled Muslim workers clustered around Isse and said, “No prayer, no work.””

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “The Muslim workers said they plan to take the matter to court if they can’t reach a settlement with Swift.”

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “OTHER CASES
Workplace disputes over religious holidays and prayer time have occurred at other meatpacking plants in the nation.

A couple of examples:”

“Somalis win prayer case at Gold’n Plump”

By CHRIS SERRES, Star Tribune
Last update: September 10, 2008 - 6:32 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “In a landmark settlement that could change the way Muslims are treated in the workplace, St. Cloud-based Gold’n Plump Inc. has agreed to allow Somali workers short prayer breaks and the right to refuse handling pork at its poultry processing facilities.

The federally mediated agreement is among the first in the nation that requires employers to accommodate the Islamic prayer schedule and the belief, held by many strict Muslims, that the Qur’an prohibits the touching and eating of pork products.”

You’re welcome Velveeta.

Well, it’s probably a good idea not to give the President’s travel plans a whole lot of coverage.

Press Release A080911a-095
Sept. 11, 2008

Coalition forces detain four Special Groups suspects in Wasit Province

BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured four suspected Special Groups criminals in operations Thursday in Muwaffaqiyah, about 200 km southeast of Baghdad near Kut in Wasit Province.

Based on intelligence information, Coalition forces targeted an alleged Special Groups leader in Wasit Province. The suspect is believed to be tied to senior Special Groups leaders in that area who are responsible for weapons trafficking as well as attacks on Iraqi forces.

Coalition forces approached the suspect’s location where they detained four suspected Special Groups criminals without incident. According to Special Groups criminals already in custody, the organization receives funding, training, weapons and even direction from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard - Quds Force.

“The capture of these suspected Special Group criminals will further weaken those who attempt to destabilize the legitimate government of Iraq,” said COL Jerry O’Hara, MNF-I spokesman.

Iraqi, Coalition operations undermine al-Qaeda organization (Baghdad)
BAGHDAD – Coalition forces captured five wanted men and 13 of their alleged associates Wednesday and Thursday while targeting al-Qaeda in Iraq in central and northern parts of the country.

Two operations in Bayji, about 160 km south of Mosul, struck the AQI foreign terrorist facilitation network, beginning with two suspects detained Wednesday. One is an alleged weapons dealer, also believed to help foreign terrorists move into and through Diyala province. Intelligence reports indicate many terrorist elements in Diyala have moved into the Tigris River Valley to avoid Iraqi and Coalition operations there.

A Thursday operation in Bayji netted four suspected terrorists, including a wanted man assessed to facilitate the movement of foreign terrorists locally. The wanted man is reportedly part of a bombing network there known for targeting Iraqi and Coalition forces.

In Baghdad, Coalition forces captured a man assessed to be an AQI cell leader in the Abu Ghraib area, about 25 km west of the city. The man, who was detained Thursday with four other suspects, has allegedly taken part in bombing attacks against Coalition forces.

An alleged well-established AQI leader with suspected ties to other extremist groups across Iraq was captured Thursday near Tarmiyah, about 40 km north of Baghdad. Coalition forces detained one additional suspect.

Using information from an operation June 30, Coalition forces northwest of Mosul captured a suspected longtime member of the AQI propaganda network Thursday. He reportedly stepped up to lead the group recently after it sustained significant leadership and membership losses in Coalition operations over the last several months.

“Analyst: UAE missile sale reflects policy change”
Jim Brown - OneNewsNow - 9/10/2008 8:00:00 AM

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Reuters reports the Bush administration plans to sell the United Arab Emirates a $7 billion advanced U.S. missile defense system that could be used to defend against Iran. Congress would have 30 days to review the proposed sale of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) system, but almost never blocks arms sales, says the report. If approved, deployment could take up to a year.”

“The 7th Anniversary of 9/11
By Frontpagemag.com
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, September 11, 2008

SNIPPET: “Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Alex Alexiev, vice president for research at the Center for Security Policy.”

ARTICLE-INTERVIEW SNIPPET: “FP: Expand please on how we have mislabeled this war.

Alexiev: If you declare terror to be your main enemy in this struggle, you’re elevating a symptom of the underlying malignancy rather than the malignancy itself to be your main adversary. This is like focusing on treating the symptoms of cancer like pain and such, rather than the cancer itself. It may make you feel better for a while, but sooner or later the cancer will kill you. The real enemy, on the other hand, whether you call it radical Islam, Islamofascism, Islamism or whatever is a militant millenarian doctrine seeking to impose Islamic rule and barbaric shariah doctrine worldwide. It aims to achieve that by various means and strategies, including proselytism, infiltration of our institutions, taking over Muslim institutions, creating parallel societies and enforcing shariah in Muslim communities, but also intimidation and terrorism. More recently, shariah finance has become yet another potent weapon in the Islamist arsenal. It pursues the legitimization of shariah while providing a new source of financing of extremism and terrorism.

In the West, this plan for conquest by undermining our society from within has been doggedly pursued by the Muslim Brotherhood with the help of Saudi money for at least three decades now. And it isn’t something that is a great secret. It was described in great detail in an Ikhwan document known as “the Project” found in Switzerland in the early 1980s. Indeed, if I remember correctly, Jamie, your publication was the first to publish an English translation of it some years back. The US government presented similar programmatic Brotherhood documents at the Holy Land Foundation trial.

FP: Does that mean that you discount the visible success we have achieved in the war in Iraq? Cetrainly Bush deserves credit for that.

Alexiev: No, not at all. What our forces in Iraq have done is a great testimony to the professionalism, ability and dedication of the American soldier. And yes, President Bush certainly deserves a lot of credit for hanging tough and allowing our military to do the job.”

“Blocking ‘The Path to 9/11’”
By Jamie Glazov
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, September 11, 2008

SNIPPET: “Frontpage Interview’s guest today is John Ziegler, a former talk show host who is the director of the new documentary Blocking ‘The Path to 9/11’. Visit the film’s web site at BlockingThePath.com.”

ARTICLE-INTERVIEW SNIPPET: “Ziegler: “The Path to 9/11’ was by far the most ambitious of all the 9/11 related films. It was a five and a half hour, two-night mini-series that aired on ABC on the fifth anniversary of the attacks which depicted the real history that connects the first WTC attack in 1993 and 9/11.

Just days before it aired the film was severely edited by Disney after personal demands from Bill Clinton and members of his administration and several senators and congressmen. The film, which was intended to be rebroadcast every 9/11, has never been shown again and even the DVD has not been released.”

ARTICLE-INTERVIEW SNIPPET: “Ziegler: We now know that Bill Clinton himself called Disney head Bob Iger and demanded that the film be edited or pulled entirely. Our documentary proves that this effort was far more extensive and corrupt than previously thought.”
