HARTFORD, Conn. – A memorial to honor a Sept. 11 victim from a small northwestern Connecticut town has been halted by the unexpected conflict arising from his father's insistence it say his son was murdered by "Muslim terrorists." Town officials in Kent are balking, saying it would be inappropriate to single out a religious group in a project on town property and paid for with taxpayers' money. The memorial plaque to be erected outside the town hall is on indefinite hold. Peter Gadiel is criticizing town leaders for being too politically correct, and says he's frustrated about what he calls...

Paedophile websites are being used to pass information between terrorists. A link between terrorism plots and hardcore child pornography is becoming clear after a string of police raids in Britain and across the Continent, an investigation by The Times has discovered. Images of child abuse have been found during Scotland Yard antiterrorism swoops and in big inquiries in Italy and Spain. Secret coded messages are being embedded into child pornographic images, and paedophile websites are being exploited as a secure way of passing information between terrorists. British security services are also aware of the trend and believe that it requires...

This story comes from Bloomberg -- which we cannot excerpt. However, we can provide our own summary of the general gist of the article which is that one of the pirates has claimed both sides have agreed to a prisoner exchange -- our captain for four of their outlaws. The article goes on to warn that as of right now, this is by no means a done deal. You can read the article HERE.

MUMBAI: The custody of arrested terrorist Mohammed Ajmal Amir Iman ends on Thursday and the police will seek his remand in one of the 12 cases registered against him for the Mumbai terror attacks. Ajmal, the sole terrorist of the group of ten to be arrested, has been in police custody since November 27 and has been kept in an undisclosed location since. Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) Rakesh Maria said Ajmal was likely to be produced in a magistrate's court at the Esplanade court house in south Mumbai. The police said there were 12 cases registered in connection with...

Maj. Stephen Coughlin, the military's top authority on Islamic war doctrine, was pushed out of the Pentagon, where he worked as an intelligence analyst for the Joint Chiefs of Staff, after a high-level Muslim official protested his making a connection between Islamic law and terror. Hesham Islam, a personal aide to deputy Defense secretary Gordon England, criticized Coughlin for telling a hard truth that could save soldiers lives and help us win the war against jihadists. But what really set him off, according to Washington Times Pentagon correspondent Bill Gertz, were briefings Coughlin recently prepared for the U.S. military warning...

When President Clinton decided to bomb the Serbs and to protect the Bosnians and also protect the Albanians who were flooding into Kosovo, I supported him although I had reservations. After all weren’t the Serbs on our side in World War II, and weren’t they Christians fighting off Muslims? Didn’t Serbs save Jews from the Holocaust killings carried out by Bosnians? I supported him because I didn’t really understand that the conflict in the former Yugoslavia was really part of the world-wide battle against Islamic jihad. I supported him because he was the President of the United States, and an...

This VIDEO is the perfect reply to those IDIOT journalists who claimed that we were discriminating against those Muslim maniacs who were removed from a plane flight recently.

OBSESSION is one of the most informative websites regarding the deceitful ploys of Islam. On the Obsession site, there is provided a timeline of Islamic killings and woundings recorded since 1968. Below is an abbreviation of that timeline. Read it and be informed: In July 1968, Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) hijacked Israeli El Al Airplanes. In 1970, Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) killers attacked bus in West Bank, killing Barbara Ertle of Michigan and wounding two others from the US. In March 1970, PFLP lodged rockets at US Embassy, Beirut, as well as the American Insurance Company,...

The recent terror case of a "gentle" third-grade teacher from the D.C. suburbs shows the danger is at once closer and harder to ID than you think. The enemy is hiding not in the shadows, but in plain sight, and may even wear a smile. Hundreds of Muslims last week flocked to a federal courtroom to show their support for the affable and soft-spoken Ali Asad Chandia of Maryland as he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for supporting terrorists. Friends say anti-Muslim prosecutors railroaded a "law-abiding" and "peaceful" brother. "He is a dedicated teacher," said one. "A great...

Months after Karen Hughes assumed the role of diplomat-at-large to the Muslim world, she told Time magazine that one of her two key influences on understanding Islam was Georgetown Prof. John Esposito. She’s not alone. The FBI has repeatedly consulted him, and much of academia holds him in high regard. But when he’s not busy shaping U.S. policy toward the Muslim world, Prof. Esposito mentors a man who wishes he could be a suicide bomber and who recently (and publicly) reinforced his support for “martyrdom.” He has collaborated on two books with Dr. Azzam Tamimi, and he still maintains a...

I was watching O'Reilly last night and he had some guy from CAIR, whining about the use of IslamoFacist used by President Bush, BOR, and others. During the give and take, as BOR is bringing up various countries under Islam law, the guy basically states that being a Muslim is not the same as being Islam. On one point, he says about someone or something, they are Muslim not Islam. To me, they are just playing with words and trying to confuse people. Anyone else see this?

Tehran - Iran's Hebollah, which claims links to the Lebanese group of the same name, said on Tuesday it stood ready to attack Israeli and US interests worldwide. "We have 2 000 volunteers who have registered since last year," said Iranian Hezbollah's spokesperson Mojtaba Bigdeli, speaking by telephone from the central seminary city of Qom. "They have been trained and they can become fully armed. "We are ready to dispatch them to every corner of the world to jeopardise Israel and America's interests. "We are only waiting. "If America wants to ignite World War Three ... we welcome it," he...

The death in Iraq of Muslim terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, and the recent arrest of 17 Muslim would-be terrorists in Canada, reminds us that the war on terrorism is global and it will be fought forever. Too many people do not understand the origins and motivations of our enemy – Muslim terrorists. This lack of understanding causes some politicians to make stupid and anti-American statements that the liberal media lap up and highlight dozens of times. The media hardly mentioned the important developments in Iraq that coincided with al-Zarqawi’s death – namely, that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has...

Skoplje, May 13 (SRNA) - In the Tetovo village of Neprosteno for the past 20 or so days armed Kosovo Albanians, former members of the KLA, have been patrolling in order to provoke new ethnic tensions in Macedonia in this and other neighboring villages with an ethnic Albanian population, writes the Skoplje daily "Vecer". According to the sources of that Skoplje paper, the leaders of the group are putting pressure on the Albanian political parties in Macedonia, the Democratic Union for Integration and the Democratic Party of Albanians to demand the annexation of a part of western Macedonia to neighboring...

Dubai is threatening retaliation against American strategic and commercial interests if Washington blocks its $6.8 billion takeover of operations at several U.S. ports. As the House Appropriations Committee yesterday marked up legislation to kill Dubai Ports World’s acquisition of Britain’s Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation (P&O), the emirate let it be known that it is preparing to hit back hard if necessary. A source close to the deal said members of Dubai’s royal

<p>Slobodan Milosevic, the former Yugoslav leader who orchestrated the Balkan wars of the 1990s and was on trial for war crimes, was found dead in his prison cell at the U.N. detention center near The Hague, the U.N. tribunal said Saturday. He was 65.</p>

Editor, Daily News: Why are we pussy-footing around? Liberals (along with some pseudo-conservative types) are caught in the grips of political correctness — another form of deceit and dishonesty. Political correctness is an advanced form of lying, actually working against the end it means to achieve. That is why fighting a politically correct war against terrorism has been so arduous. Here is what we ought to do (my fellow "Republican" Jane Varner might even approve of this plan). The United States, acting on behalf the president, Congress and its citizens, should advance the following declaration: In an orderly fashion, the...

“Iraq was not a breeding ground for terrorism. Our invasion has made it one.” --Sen. Ted Kennedy "Iraq was not a terrorist haven before the invasion." --Sen. John Kerry Ever since the start of “Operation Iraqi Freedom”, opponents of President Bush in general and of the invasion of Iraq in particular have bombarded us with these messages: We created the terrorists by going to Afghanistan and Iraq to fight them. There was no connection between Saddam Hussein and Muslim terrorism. The war was started to give fat contracts to Halliburton, Cheney’s former company. To say that we created the terrorists...

Americans concerned about a possible terrorist attack using nuclear weapons can take solace in this fact: The U.S. is much better prepared to prevent such an attack than many believe. That's the finding of an intensive probe by best-selling author Kenneth R. Timmerman that appears in the December issue of NewsMax Magazine "Avoiding Nuclear D-Day." [For more info our FREE offer - Go Here Now.] Here are just a few of the revelations contained in Timmerman's exclusive report: Exactly one month after 9/11, CIA Director George Tenet told the White House that terrorists had reportedly smuggled a 10-kiloton nuclear warhead...

PALESTINIAN society disintegrated further yesterday as gunmen from the ruling Fatah movement tried to kidnap the parents of an American activist who died trying to halt the demolition of Gaza homes, while other militants destroyed part of Gaza's border wall with Egypt - killing two guards. Both actions, and the takeover of seven government offices in the town of Rafah, were undertaken by the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade in order to put pressure on the Palestinian Authority to release a militant arrested on Tuesday for alleged involvement in the kidnapping last week of the British human rights worker Kate Burton and...

Christmas is sacred, Pell warns race gangs Jill Rowbotham and Elizabeth Gosch December 14, 2005 CATHOLIC Archbishop George Pell has warned gangs of Middle Eastern descent not to target Christmas celebrations, after families were abused and gunshots fired into cars at a primary school's carols night in western Sydney on Monday. Cardinal Pell said the attack in the multicultural suburb of Auburn, where Lebanese Muslims are believed to have turned on Lebanese Christians, was "apparently motivated by religious intolerance". He said: "I am deeply concerned about the targeting of Christmas celebrations at schools for students as young as five years...

As the Monitor noted back in July, “alarm bells went off like crazy when Steven Spielberg hired Tony Kushner last year to rewrite the script of a movie about Israel’s clandestine — and lethal — response to the massacre of Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.” The Monitor found cause for concern because Kushner is a radical leftist whose views on the Middle East are hardly distinguishable from the hateful screeds found on the most rabidly anti-Israel websites.

MILAN, Italy (AP) -- Italian police were listening as the man identified as an Egyptian radical shouted with joy while watching a video of the beheading of American Nicholas Berg by his al Qaeda captors. "Come nearer, watch closely, this is the politics you have to follow, the politics of the sword," he advised another man as Berg's screams rang out. "Go to hell, enemy of God, kill him, kill him, cut it well, cut off his head," he said. Authorities say the statements recorded from phone taps and microphones show that Rabei Osman Sayed Ahmed, a 34-year-old Egyptian facing...

PRISTINA (AP)--U.N. officials will Thursday hand over to Serbian authorities the bodies of seven Serb civilians killed during the 1998-1999 war in Kosovo. The bodies, exhumed in Kosovo, will be turned over at a checkpoint 40 kilometers north of the provincial capital Pristina, officials said. Some 2,490 people are still listed as missing since the war pitted Serb government forces against ethnic Albanian rebels. That conflict ended when a North Atlantic Treaty Organization aerial bombing campaign persuaded then-president Slobodan Milosevic to end the crackdown on separatists. Thousands perished during the brief war. The fate of the missing remains one of...

www.slobodan-milosevic.org - December 6, 2005 Written by: Andy Wilcoxson The trial of Slobodan Milosevic continued at the Hague Tribunal on Tuesday. Lt. Col. Janos Sel's cross-examination did not continue as scheduled. No explanation was given for that change. Instead, the tribunal heard the continuation of the testimony of Gen. Krsman Jelic, the commander of the 243rd Armored Brigade of the Yugoslav Army, stationed in the Urosevac area of Kosovo. The witness gave evidence refuting the indictment's charges relating to alleged crimes in: Kotlina, Dubrava, Kacanik, Slatina, Stagovo, and Urosevac. In Kotlina, the indictment alleges that Serbian troops massacred civilian men...

The members of the Muslim Group Nation of Islam are furious at the Oakland police department for what they say is racial profiling. They spoke out Saturday after hearing the way police describe a dozen men who vandalized two liquor stores in Oakland. Minister Tony Muhammad, Nation of Islam: "That is racial, as well as religious profiling at its' worst." Members of leader Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam are outraged. They say Oakland police jumped to conclusions when watching surveillance video showing 12 men in suits and ties walking into a liquor store in West Oakland and trashing it. It...

Americans Jumping to Their Deaths on 9/11 Although leftist treachery led to an obscene withdrawal from Vietnam at a time when our troops in the field had won every battle, there were no lasting effects from our defeat due to the efforts of Ronald Reagan. With the installation of the Peacemakers and the development of Star Wars, the “wall” came tumbling down. Through the ages Americans have gotten complaisant about the protection from harm our two great oceans and our brave and brilliant military have afforded us. Unfortunately, I don’t think the same good fortune is in our future if...

S/E Europe Entity’s independence could stir Albanian separatists in FYROM, analysts say SKOPJE - Granting Kosovo independence from Serbia could stir up separatist movements among ethnic Albanian minorities in other parts of the Balkans, analysts said ahead of the start of talks on the province’s future status. Some leaders in the fragile region, where ethnic tensions have led to a series of wars since 1991, fear another change of borders could provoke separatist demands by ethnic Albanian minorities in countries surrounding Kosovo. “All Kosovo politicians, including President Ibrahim Rugova, should sign a declaration that would exclude any possible unification of...

Complexity of war crimes case against ex-Yugoslav president convinced Iraqi prosecutors to condense Saddam charges THE HAGUE, Netherlands -- Three years and eight months into the war crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic, the courtroom still crackles with explosive outbursts. ...The prosecution of Mr. Milosevic and 125 other people by the 12-year-old tribunal is creating a body of law that many legal experts say will serve as a guide for future war crimes tribunals worldwide. Iraqi judges and officials from war crimes tribunals newly established in Africa and the Balkans have consulted court officials recently.

BANGKOK, Thailand - A bomb believed planted by Muslim insurgents exploded Sunday at a noodle shop in southern Thailand, killing one person and injuring 59 others, officials said. Thailand's three southernmost provinces have been plagued for the past year by violence the authorities blame on a revived Muslim separatist movement. The bomb, estimated to weigh 10 pounds, was left in the shop and triggered remotely by a mobile phone at noon while the shop was crowded, police said. Witnesses said the bomb may have been planted by a woman who left her purse on a chair and walked out shortly...

A police sergeant from Ingushetia who disappeared six years ago is accused of being among the ringleaders of the Beslan siege. Officials of the republic's interior ministry believe that Ali Taziyev, who worked for Ingushetia's external security division protecting government officials, has turned into a ruthless killer since he was caught up in a kidnapping involving Chechens in 1998. His family believes that he is dead, but the interior ministry claims that he joined the Chechen rebel movement and has taken part in several operations against Russian forces, under the codename Magas. Officials now suspect that he was one of...

Milosevic forced to accept defence counsel Ian Black in Brussels Wednesday July 7, 2004 The Guardian Slobodan Milosevic is fit to continue standing trial but may not be well enough to represent himself, the war crimes tribunal in The Hague ruled yesterday. The three judges made it clear that the former Serb president may be forced accept a defence counsel, because the burden of doing it himself was damaging his heath, and that the trial was not, contrary to speculation, about to collapse. Mr Milosevic, 62, suffers from recurrent and chronic high blood pressure and heart problems. Judge Patrick Robinson...

An appeal court in The Hague has sentenced two Muslim extremists in absentia to four and six years in prison. The court found them guilty of planning to attack the US embassy in Paris. The two men convicted, a Frenchman and an Algerian, left the Netherlands after being acquitted over a year ago by a court in Rotterdam, which ruled that the prosecution's evidence had been obtained illegally and was therefore inadmissible. The appeal court in The Hague overturned this decision. It is the first time that a Dutch court has handed down sentences for terrorist offences.

A day that started emotionally for a Lakewood woman being deported to Venezuela ended emotionally as a panel of immigration judges suddenly reversed themselves and stopped her deportation in its tracks. Less than eight hours after Amina Silmi reported to immigration authorities to board a plane to South America, the confused and frightened mother called a friend to relay the news that she had a temporary stay. She was in Atlanta, and was being given another chance to plead for permission to stay and raise her children in America. "This is definitely what we call an 11th-hour reprieve," said Greg...
