You have to view this segment of the Meet the Press interview with Army chief of staff General George Casey to believe it -- to believe that our army could be led by someone as incompetent in national security matters as this man showed he was, first by claiming that the army hadn't "missed anything" in regard to the in-your-face warning signs exhibited by Major Hasan that he was a fanatical Muslim jihadist and an imminent threat to massacre our troops, by admitting that the army's diversity policies had trumped its security policies, and worst of all by making this...

May this horrible act of terrorism be the begining of the end of "political correctness". Today’s interview with Col. Ralph Peters is below the fold. The colonel has always been a voice of reason when it comes to military matters, Iraq and Afghanistan. A noted soldier, author and columnist, I asked for clarity on the Fort Hood massacre when we set this up and he certainly gives it.

Younus Abdullah Muhammad of RevolutionMuslim.com has taken his message to the streets once again. Anyone who thinks that Islam is tolerant, needs to view this video. Younus freely admits that Islam is here to conquer and dominate all with no compromise!

snip Also problematic is the resolution’s attempt to make the restriction of free speech a human right. In fact, it is free speech that constitutes a human right and not its restriction. Ideologies, ideas and religions do not, and should not be afforded “human rights." They should be fair game for criticism, analysis, open debate and discussion. Religions and ideologies cannot be “defamed." Once ideologies are afforded protection from criticism, it is in direct contradiction to individual human rights.snip

Last week Husein Smadi, was arrested and charged in a federal criminal complaint with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Smadi, who was under continuous surveillance by the FBI, was arrested today near Fountain Place, a 60-story glass office tower located at 1445 Ross Avenue in downtown Dallas, after he placed a fake car bomb at the location (he thought it was real). Smadi, a Jordanian citizen, and an Illegal alien, lived and worked in Italy, Texas, (approximately 45 miles south of Dallas). He has repeatedly espoused his desire to commit violent Jihad and has been the focus...

The Jewish New Year, the Holiday of Rosh Hashana begins this Friday and the Head of Al Qaeda did not want it to go by without sending a message to people of the the United States, and the Jews who he says control foreign policy. The tape of Obama's latest diatribe was posted on al Qaeda affiliated Web sites on 9/13, two days after the eighth anniversary of the 2001 suicide plane hijackings. The strange thing is that Bin Laden said Americans had failed to understand that al-Qaida carried out the attacks in retaliation for U.S. support for Israel. If...

There is now just one group of people exempt from President Obama's worldwide ban on torture: the men and women of the CIA. By authorizing Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to determine whether a full criminal investigation of CIA employees and contractors is warranted for the manner in which they interrogated captured terrorists, the President has thrown his power and support behind those far-left ideologues --  in Congress and elsewhere -- who believe that the CIA is a bigger threat to our country than al Qaeda. I know the men and women of the CIA --...

MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann yesterday spoke out in favor of the Justice Department’s plan to investigate “incidents of torture committed by U.S. officials and contractors during the Bush administration.” One man, Olbermann reported indignantly, had been “stripped naked except for a hood on his head” before being threatened by CIA agents who held a pistol and a power drill next to his head, and who threatened to rape and kill his family members. Another man, said Olbermann, was told that if he did not cooperate, his children would be killed; he was also waterboarded. Oh, incidentally, the aforementioned hooded man...

Women protesting in Kabul against a controversial new law were pelted with stones, jostled and spat on today as they held what is believed to be the first public demonstration calling for equal rights for women in recent Afghan history. The protest by about 200 women called for amendment of the controversial Shia Family Law, passed last month by the Afghan Parliament, and enforcement of article 22 of the Afghan constitution, which gives equal rights to men and women. It provoked a furious reaction from local men and a mob quickly surrounded the protesters amid violent scenes close to the...

Radical cleric Sufi Muhammad-led Tehrik Nifaz-I-Shariat-I-Muhammadi (TNSM) and Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan have welcomed imposition of sharia in NWFP’s Malakand division, saying the ‘‘struggle’’ would continue to implement Islamic law in other parts of the country. Talking to journalists in his native town of Maidan in NWFP’s Lower Dir area on Tuesday, Sufi Muhammad said the Taliban and TNSM would work with the government for the enforcement of sharia and maintain peace in the region. He said his party would keep an eye on the steps government takes for the promulgation of Sharia and the independence of Qazi courts. Sufi Muhammad vowed...

“Islamic finance now extends beyond the traditional predominantly Muslim economies to become an increasingly important part of the international financial system.” “Islamic finance implicitly embraces strong core values and universally beneficial characters.” “The Islamic financial system derives its strength and stability from its faculty to uphold Shariah principles. The Islamic financial system thus has an in-built dimension that promotes financial soundness and stability, as it resides within a financial trajectory underpinned by the forces of Shariah injunctions.” These are the words of Tan Sri Dr. Zeti Akhtar Aziz, a prominent Bank Governor in Malaysia who has been an outspoken advocate...

In December 2008 a bi-partisan Commission on the Prevention of WMD Proliferation and Terrorism, led by former Sens. Bob Graham of Florida and Jim Talent of Missouri, predicted that within the next four years there will be a nuclear or biological terrorist attack on US shores. These experts said that we grow LESS safe from a terrorist (or man made disaster) attack every day. Now a British report has been released that comes to a similar conclusion: "Contemporary terrorist organizations aspire to use chemical, biological, radiological and even nuclear weapons," the report states. "Changing technology and the theft and smuggling...

Islam respects women.

Chris Rock has a routine about African-Americans and Crime. Every time he hears of a crime in is neighborhood his first reaction is "OH PLEASE GOD, DON'T LET HIM BE BLACK !!" What makes the routine so funny is that its not just African-Americans almost every ethnic group feels that way. We are afraid that a "bad egg" in our midst will bring out the bigot in others. The one exception to that rule, seems to be the American Muslim community. It seems that every time a Muslim is a arrested, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) screams racial profiling...

During the course of the recent political campaign the public began to realize that in most cases, Journalistic Integrity is a thing of the past. Media consumers were exposed to some of the most blatant skewed reporting since William Randolf Hearst's NY Journal helped to create the Spanish-American War with Biased Reporting. Sometimes the biased reporting does not involved skewing a story one way or another, sometimes they just hide the the news. This is what the Press does with most reports that put radical Islam in a bad light. It might be due to an over active "political correctness"...

The biggest threat to world peace today is a Nuclear Iran. The US and much of Europe have been feebly attempting to negotiate with Iranian President/Nut Job Ahmadinejad for years with no result. Sanctions haven't worked either. The real stumbling block is that Ahmadinejad thinks that his job is to hasten the coming of the Muslim Messiah and he indends to get there by starting a world war using nuclear weapons. Israel may or may not his first target, but the chances are that the United States and US Interests across the world are near at the top of their...

In May 2005, Daveed Gartenstein-Ross reported in The Weekly Standard that MAS is a U.S. front group for the Muslim Brotherhood -- a claim supported by a September 19, 2004 Chicago Tribune story -- and, as such, wishes to see the United States governed by sharia, or Islamic law. "The message that all countries should be ruled by Islamic law," writes Gartenstein-Ross, "is echoed throughout MAS's membership curriculum. For example, MAS requires all its adjunct members to read Fathi Yakun's book To Be a Muslim. In that volume, Yakun spells out his expansive agenda: 'Until the nations of the world...

Khalid Sheik Mohammed, mastermind of 9/11 and chief operating officer of al-Qaeda, who revealed under intensive interrogation -- including the much-maligned tactic of waterboarding -- that a nuclear attack against the United States was a top priority for al-Qaeda. He wants to execute it in a way that kills up to 10,000,000 Americans. Former Clinton Secretary of Defense William Perry and former Assistant Secretary of Defense Graham Allison believe that the nuclear destruction of one or more American cities is more probable than not in the very near future. Scary isn't it. Especially when you consider how close terrorist supporter...

Once again, Terrorism is being taught on the campus of Florida State University (FSU). Last month, FSU a school largely funded by state tax dollars, paid domestic terrorist (and just a guy from President-elect Obama's neighborhood) Bill Ayers $5,000 to speak at the school. School administrators invited the terrorist because they believe he is a "education reformer." I guess they feel that setting bombs and murdering people is an effective method of education (Ayers and his fellow terrorists planted bombs on the Capitol, Pentagon and other government buildings to protest U.S. policy, on 9/11/01 he was interviewed by the New...

After his wife filed for divorce and got a protective order against him, Muzzammil Hassan, 44, on Thursday was arrested on suspiction of beheading his wife. Her body was found (the story does not mention where the head was found) at Hassan's business. Hassan is the founder of a TV netweork whose slogan is "connecting people through understanding." Unfortunatley, part of his wife is no longer connected, but we do have a better understanding of Muslims. Thus proving once again that Muslims are serious people and the British were right to prevent Geert Wilders from coming to England to show...

Tomorrow,February 2, members of the Groundhog Club adorned with top hats and tails, surround the home of Punxsutawney Phil one of the most famous rodents of the world. More than just a tourist attraction, there are people that really do believe if Phil the groundhog sees his shadow he jumps back in his hole and we will suffer though six more weeks of winter. Of course Phil is an animal he cannot help himself. Governments in the western world (especially in Europe)are just as afraid of their shadows, as is Phil the groundhog. These rodents are not afraid of the...

Terrorists, murders, oppressors and Islamofascists understandably were not very fond of George W. Bush. Neither were the fellow travelers of the aforementioned lowest rung of the human ladder in Europe, those in the offices of the ACLU and the Democratic Party fond of our late president. This is well understood. But what does the ascension of Barack Hussein Obama mean to them? More importantly, what will what it means to them mean for us? We have been told by our sycophantic Old Media establishment that Obama is a gift to the world, “our” gift to the world. We are told...

The Netherlands, the country that is prosecuting persecuting Gert Wilders for exercising free speech has decided to allow American Islamic hate monger, Khalid Yasin into the country to orate across the country. This is the kind of speeches that Yasin gives: Khalid Yasin has been quoted as: * Advocating the death penalty for homosexuality * Claiming the HIV virus was deliberately engineered by Western governments,questioning the existence of al-Qaeda and its involvement in the 9/11 attacks * Asserting that the 2002 and 2005 Bali bombings were justified in the light of a history of Western oppression of Islam Here are...

'Hamas is guilty of war crime' ...that Hamas were to blame for the latest incident in which at least 30 people were killed in an Israeli artillery attack near a UN school in the Gaza Strip. On Radio 4's The World Tonight he claimed that Hamas were guilty of using civilians as "human shields".

The truth of the matter is that when it comes to her enemies, Israel has a very tiny margin of error. What makes that particularly dangerous is the most radical of its Hamas, Hezballah and Iran, enemies do not hate Israel because they want to live on the land, they hate Israel because they are a non-Muslim contamination of their caliphate and their society. These are societies that are trying to build an earth that is ruled by Shariah Law and Israel is a constant reminder of the freedom and democracy that is NOT offered in a Muslim society. Hell,...

Diplomacy, it is said, is the art of telling people to go to hell and having them enjoy the way down. Different nations have different visions of diplomacy. The British tend to be passive/aggressive, Americans tend to be very delicate, sometimes too delicate. Since Jimmy Carter helped to turn Iran into the Islamofacist state it is today, its method of communication with other nations have included nastiness and arrogance with a bit of terrorism. Lately Iran has been relying on terrorism to a greater extent as the way of getting its message across:

You may not take them seriously since you are too “grown up” … too sophisticated … to take the ranting of crazy people (fringe groups?) seriously. After all, Mr. & Mrs. Liberal, you stand at the pinnacle of civilization (even as you deny this in “multiculturalism class”). So what happens when the rabble comes to your 5 star hotel and shoots you? From India during Mumbai: We did not wish to be ‘enemies’, but since we have been constructed that way, should not we take our roles as ‘enemies’ a bit more seriously? I cannot speak the language of peace...

"...Because all that anyone knows for certain about Barack Obama - the only thing anyone knows for certain - is that he is not what he seems. What we do know, because we have the performances on tape is that he is the most seamless liar since Bill himself - smoother by far. Who is the real Barack Obama? Who can tell? We don't really know anything about this man's intentions, and what we do know about his deeds is bad..."

Two years ago, we wrote about "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West." This awarding-winning flim uses images from Arab TV rarely seen in the West to provide an inside view of the hatred Islamic Radicals are teaching, their incitement of global jihad, and their goal of world domination. It also pointed to parallels between the Islamic Radicals and the Nazi movement. The folks who brought us "Obsession" are attempting to revive attention to the film and to the issues it raised. Their efforts are certainly timely. As Gregory Ross of the Clarion Fund, points out, recent events in Lebanon...

The leaders at Portsmouth City council were asked to donate £500 to a fun day event to raise money for the charity Help The Heroes, which looks after wounded soldiers back in this country. But they initially turned down the grant because it argued their support may upset ethnic minorities who could have been traumatised by armed conflicts. A rejection letter said the event "could cause offence to ethnic minority groups living in the community who may also have experience of injury/violence due to the war". The decision left Richard Chamberlain, 57, who had arranged the event with other residents...

KUALA LUMPUR - Islamic lawyers meeting in Malaysia want an existing ban on unwed Muslim couples from cuddling or holding hands to be extended to non-Muslims caught flirting with the faithful, a local newspaper said on Thursday. Experts in sharia law, which currently applies only to Malaysia's majority Muslims, proposed at a seminar that there should be a civil law to deal with non-Muslims found committing the Islamic crime of khalwat, or close proximity, with a Muslim.

Professor Faces 180 Lashes for Having Coffee With Student Thursday , February 28, 2008 A university professor allegedly caught in a Saudi-style honey trap has been sentenced to 180 lashes and eight months in jail — for having coffee with a girl. The man, a prominent and well-respected Saudi teacher of psychology at Umm al-Qra University in the holy city of Mecca, was framed by the religious police after he angered some of their members at a training course, his lawyer said. The academic has not been named by the local media, which have given his case wide coverage, but...

"Major survey challenges Western perceptions of Islam," by Karin Zeitvogel." A huge survey of the world's Muslims released Tuesday challenges Western notions that equate Islam with radicalism and violence. It shows that the overwhelming majority of Muslims condemned the attacks against the United States on September 11, 2001 and other subsequent terrorist attacks, the authors of the study said in Washington. About 93 percent of the world's 1.3 billion Muslims are moderates and only seven percent are politically radical, according to the poll, based on more than 50,000 interviews. But only seven percent of the billion Muslims surveyed --the radicals...

Ironic, isn't it, that radical forces threaten violence, sanctions and other actions against democratic states while insisting - along with their Western apologists - that any attempt by their victims to put pressure on them is useless. Think about it. Every time someone proposes, say, economic sanctions (on Iran or Syria), an international tribunal investigating its involvement in terrorism (Syria), military operations or killing terrorist leaders (Hamas, Hizbullah, Iraqi insurgents, al-Qaida, the Kurdish PKK, or the Taliban), diplomatic isolation, or even not giving financial aid (Hamas), a chorus of voices says: It won't work. The extremists, you see, are tough....

     Black Flags of Islam   Portents of the Imam al-Mahdi, the Moslems' prophesied deliverer of Jerusalem? from Diane Alden… Afghanistan has special significance to the world of militant Islam. It was once called Khurasan, along with parts of Iran and Pakistan. Muhammad said: "If you see the black flags coming from Khurasan, join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice, for that is the army of the Imam al-Mahdi and no one can stop that army until it reaches Jerusalem." That is one reason Osama bin Laden chose it as his base, or al-Qaida. Mohammed's ...

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31, 2008 – The U.S. will prevail against extremism by protecting the homeland, staying “on the offense,” and replacing hope with despair, President Bush predicted today. During a speech at the Emerald at Queensridge venue in Las Vegas, Nev., Bush laid out a strategy for winning what he described as an ideological struggle between those who advocate the march of freedom and those favoring chaos through asymmetric war. “We will prevail in this ideological struggle because liberty is powerful; liberty is hopeful,” he said. “The enemy we face can only convince people to join their cause when...

US presidential candidate Barack Obama said Thursday that he would hold a summit with Muslim countries if he is elected president, in order to repair the United States' image in the world. "Once I'm elected, I want to organize a summit in the Muslim world," he told the French magazine Paris Match, "with all the heads of state, to have an honest discussion about ways to bridge the gap that grows every day between Muslims and the West." Obama said he would ask Muslim leaders to join the international fight against terrorism, and said his administration would "listen to their...

BELARUS - Belarus on Friday jailed for three years an editor of an independent newspaper who reproduced cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that first appeared in Denmark in 2005 and caused mass demonstrations across the Muslim world. The 12 cartoons portraying the founder of Islam, including one showing the prophet with a bomb in his turban, outraged Muslims who saw them as blasphemous. More than 50 people died in protests across the world the following year. Belarussian authorities shut down the "Zgoda" (Consensus) paper in March 2006, around the time when other European journals began reprinting the cartoons. The security...

Democrats in Washington just can't seem to help it. Even when great opportunities arise that would allow them to look like patriots, they sponsor yet another bill to cut off funds for our troops in Iraq. Last week, Democrats in the House of Representatives voted yet again to fix a firm deadline to begin withdrawing U.S. troops from Iraq. It was their 40th such vote. Luckily, their motion died in the Senate, where the Party of Surrender failed to muster enough votes to survive a presidential veto. Also last week, House Democrats passed a measure, inappropriately titled the RESTORE Act...

A haunting video showing an “obituary” of the main opponent to the “mega-mosque” proposed for the 2012 Olympic site has appeared on YouTube, but the subject of the film has vowed to continue his fight against the huge development. The video, In memory of Councillor Alan Craig, shows pictures of the Christian People's Alliance councillor with his wife and two daughters, aged 5 and 6, and promises: “To God we will all return.” It was posted on YouTube apparently in response to Mr Craig high-profile campaign against the building of a 12,000 capacity mosque sponsored by the ultra-conservative Islamic sect...

"Hate speech is verbal communication that induces anger due to the listener’s inability to offer an intelligent response."

A controversial week of events, billed as Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, launches at the University of Washington and some 100 other colleges next week — drawing condemnations from Muslim groups here and across the country. The UW College Republicans...say the week is intended to foster awareness of the terrorist threat posed by a small number of extremists within Islam. But some local Muslims say the week fosters Islamophobia and racism and attempts to paint all Muslims as terrorists. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week, launched this year by a recent graduate of Duke University...is intended to "confront the two Big Lies of the political...

Ambassadors from Muslim countries have indicated that they intend to present the Swedish prime minister with a list of demands when they meet for talks on Friday. Fredrik Reinfeldt invited the ambassadors from 20 Muslim countries to government offices on Friday following a wave of protests from Muslim countries after the publication of a caricature of Muhammad in local newspaper Nerikes Allehanda. Reinfeldt's press secretary Oscar Hållén was unable to say which countries had confirmed their attendance. Egyptian ambassador Mohamed Sotouhi told news agency TT that he and a group of fellow ambassadors had agreed on a list of measures...

"In a new Internet video, Osama bin Laden's second-in-command jeers at the Iraq war funding bill vetoed by President George W. Bush that called for a U.S. troop pullout in Iraq," Reuters reports: "This bill will deprive us of the opportunity to destroy the American forces which we have caught in a historic trap," al Qaeda deputy leader Ayman al-Zawahri is quoted as saying on ABC's Web site. . . . "We ask Allah that they only get out of it after losing 200,000 to 300,000 killed, in order that we give the spillers of blood in Washington and Europe...

According to some reports, Cho Seung-Hui, the man suspected in the killings at Virginia Tech, may have written Islamic references on himself prior to the shootings: Sources [said] that the words "ISMAIL AX" were also found written in red ink on the inside of one of Cho's arms. The reference may be to the Islamic account of the Biblical sacrifice of Abraham, where God commands the patriarch to sacrifice his own son. Abraham begins to comply, but God intervenes at the last moment to save the boy. In the Jewish and Christian traditions, the son is Isaac, father of the...

Terms of Surrender When 'freedom' and 'democracy' become sinister concepts, we're lost for more than words Mark Steyn Western Standard March 12, 2007 Frank Luntz, the eminent American pollster, has a new book out south of the border called Words That Work--i.e., words that resonate with the public. It's been a big theme of his for years: I remember seeing him back in the nineties advising Republicans to ease up on attacks on "teachers' unions" because Mr. and Mrs. America watching at home heard it as attacks on "teachers," which is one of those words people are in favour...

Muslim women will have to remove face coveringsto vote in Quebec election Canadian Press via canada.com Published: Friday, March 23, 2007 (within the past hour) QUEBEC (CP) - Muslim women will have to remove their face coverings if they want to vote in Monday's Quebec election. Quebec's chief returning officer has reversed an earlier decision and is now telling Muslim women who wear a niqab to show their faces when they vote. Facing threats from ordinary citizens that they would show up at polling stations wearing masks, Marcel Blanchet said in Quebec City Friday that voting day must proceed...

A RADICAL Islamic group yesterday called on all Muslims in Australia to work towards forming a pan-global Islamic state, while NSW and federal politicians traded blows on whether the group should be banned under the anti-terror laws. More than 450 men and women packed into a reception hall at Lakemba in Sydney's southwest to hear speakers from Hizb ut-Tahrir (Party of Liberation) outline their hopes for a single Islamic state that would overthrow all dictators, invaders and governments in every Muslim country across the globe. The Khilafah conference was told that "humankind" could only escape destruction under "the divine order...
