The informant asked Hossain to launder money from the sale of a shoulder-fired missile that would be used...

Charity accused of funneling funds to Iraq By Mark Morris McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) KANSAS CITY, Mo. - A defunct charity and five officers and associates have been charged with illegally sending more than $1.4 million to Iraq while Saddam Hussein was in power. The 33-count federal indictment, which was unsealed Wednesday in Kansas City, is the latest assault on a charity that in 2004 was designated a supporter of global terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, al-Qaida and Hamas. At its core, the indictment alleges the Islamic American Relief Agency-USA solicited cash from U.S. contributors and sent it to "persons and...

Sudden Jihad Syndrome http://cfoiblog.blogspot.com/2007/02/sudden-jihad-syndrome.html Monday, February 26, 2007 Sudden Jihad Syndrome Evidently this mental/emotional malady is on the rise: Sudden Jihad Syndrome It looks like the Muslim teen who opened fire on shoppers in a Salt Lake City mall is yet another case of “sudden jihad syndrome,” a condition in which normal-appearing American Muslims abruptly turn violent. Taken together, this and other cases add up to an invisible jihad inside America. But don’t tell that to the FBI. The politically correct bureau does everything it can to avoid recognizing the obvious Islamic factor in these heinous crimes. Sulejman Talovic, an...

They also want single-sex classes for sex education, different assemblies, their own prayer rooms and special canteen staff to prepare halal food. Oh yes, and they want girls to be allowed to wear headscarves in all lessons and male pupils to be allowed to grow beards if they want to. Not only that but the Council want the whole exam schedule to be...

Virgil Goode, R-Va., to expand on biting remarks he made last week during debate on a House resolution disapproving of President Bush's decision to send more than 21,000 U.S. troops into Iraq. The Muslim American Public Affairs Council has "extended this invitation to Congressman Goode to give him a venue to explain his recent comments about Muslims and Islam," MAPAC Executive Director Marc Conaghan said in a statement.

SOUTH JORDAN - Those speaking at Jeffrey Walker's funeral attempted to "pull a Jeff."     In other words, they wanted to match their friend's personality by keeping the ceremony lighthearted and compassionate.     Walker, 52, was one of five people gunned down Monday night at Trolley Square.     "Evil has touched us, but it will not leave its mark because Jeff's legacy is love, compassion, faith, hope, service, unconditional caring and love and love and love," said friend Tracy Mower as he addressed the more than 1,500 gathered at the Country Park LDS Stake Center Saturday.     Mower related the...

The middle east scholar Bernard Lewis has forecast that Muslims will outnumber non-Muslims in Europe by the end of the century, and that in the meantime western governments will have to contend with the “Wahhabi menace,” which is “particularly strong among Muslim communities in Europe and America.” Niall Ferguson, too, has lamented “the extraordinary prospect of European demographic decline” while trumpeting the perils of Muslim immigration. “A youthful Muslim society to the south and east of the Mediterranean is poised to colonise—the term is not too strong—a senescent Europe.” But a probing new book on the integration of Muslims in...

Zlatan Ibrahimovic, one of the most spectacular soccer players ever, comes from the infamous, Muslim dominated area of Rosengård in Malmö, Sweden's third biggest city. He presently plays for the major European club of Inter Milan and has formerly been contracted by Juventus, Ajax and Malmö FF among others. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, known as "Ibra" to Italian soccer fans, is one of the very few Muslim immigrants from the Malmö region who've made major success in any area of life (another exception is Hip hop artist Timbuktu - not especially well known in the US though). Many Rosengård Muslims strive to...

Muslims face hatred in US heartland http://www.thenews.com.pk/daily_detail.asp?id=42559 CINCINNATI: Tala Ali, 25, has seen the good and the bad of being a Muslim in heartland America. People have leaned out car windows to scream at her: “Terrorist go home.” But strangers curious about her headscarf have also approached her apologetically to ask about Islam. “I love it, actually, when people ask me questions,” said the pink-scarved Ali, who came to the United States with her Jordanian father and Palestinian mother when she was five. “Out here, I’m the only Muslim some people may meet,” said Ali, waiting for friends after Friday...

http://thegiantotter.blogspot.com/2006/09/statistics-majority-of-muslims-support.html Statistics: Majority of Muslims support suicide bombing We now know from my previous article that a majority of Muslims in Palestine and Iraq support terrorism (53% and 61% respectively), while a large minority of Muslims in the UK support terrorism (25%). A further look into polls from the Pew Research Center for People and the Press has confirmed my previous conclusion; a majority of Muslims in most Islamic nations support terrorism. The PRC interviewed over 38,000 people during a four-month period in 44 nations. The conclusions of the Pew Global Attitudes survey are as follows: A majority of people...

The article below is interesting, although somewhat misleading. 1 out of 4 Swedes live in DIFFERENT kinds of housing properties built around 1945-1975. True, but a minority of them are depressing, soviet-like concrete constructions outside of big cities. Few native Swedes live there and immigrants who manage to make enough money often move out. Furthermore, the phenomena of "slumming" in Muslim concrete jungle areas in Sweden is not just a "vision for the future" as is suggested below. This already exists. I've made trips to such areas in Gothenburg and Stockholm myself and I must say it's a fascinating experience....

Violent assaults soared to 112, up by more...

Hezbollah Inside America: FOX News Tells All in Documentary Tuesday, January 16, 2007 By David Asman E-MAIL STORY PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION Does any terrorist organization pose a greater threat to Americans than ? The shocking answer to that question unfolds this Saturday, January 20th, at 8 p.p.

One of the gangs is made up of indigenous Swedes and the other of immigrants, and police in the town are taking the problem very seriously. The conflict has escalated on the internet, and police fear that there may be fatalities if the fighting is not stopped. "
