Please go over to Big Journalism and read my piece: My War Against the Mosquestream Media: Over the past couple of months, a lot of readers of my website, AtlasShrugs, have been asking me why I go on these consistently belligerent TV shows to discuss Islam, knowing that: •It is going to be a hostile environment; •I will be debating liars, deceivers and Islamic supremacists; •I will be defamed, smeared and slandered; •The playing field will be grossly unfair; •I will be interrupted, cut off, and rebuked; •I will be given much less time than my opponent. I will tell...

Barack Obama is a reformed doper, so of course he's against legalizing marijuana. Another disappointment for the legions of politically progressive fans who'd taken to Obamania as though it was its own opiate. Who is this guy, anyway? He's said he smoked dope and snorted coke in his youth. So where's the empathy, man? But forget about its effect on his policies. His druggie past is not helping him shape the overarching grit of his public character nearly as much as it could be. Weed and cocaine? Who's going to be impressed with that, when his hugely successful contemporaries like...

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – The anti-Muslim leader of a tiny Florida church says he was lied to and is rethinking his decision to cancel burning Qurans to mark 9/11. Pastor Terry Jones earlier Thursday had backed off his threat to burn the Quran after he said he was promised that a planned Islamic center and mosque would be moved away from New York's ground zero. Muslim leaders denied there was such a deal. Later outside his church he said that the imam he thought he made the deal with "clearly, clearly lied to us" about moving the mosque.

The United States government in no way condones such acts of disrespect against the religion of Islam, and is deeply concerned about deliberate attempts to offend members of religious or ethnic groups. The embassy wants to emphasize that we strongly condemn the offensive messages, which are contrary to U.S. government policy and deeply offensive to Muslims especially during the month of Ramadan. President Obama made clear in Cairo in his speech on June 4, 2009 that he considers it part of his responsibility as President to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they occur. And during his recent Iftar...

Members of the Congressional Muslim Staff Association (CMSA) hosted a panel discussion on Capitol Hill Tuesday to discuss the perception of Islam among Americans in the wake of the current debate over the proposed Park51 Islamic center and mosque project to be located just two blocks from Ground Zero in lower Manhattan. The primary point of agreement among all three panel participants was that those who oppose Muslim initiatives — such as the so-called “Ground Zero” mosque — are Islamaphobic and ignorant. A recent CBS poll revealed that 71% of Americans believe it is inappropriate to build a mosque so...

U.S. Wants Report Card for Cars System Would Rate Fuel Economy, Emissions; Industry Says Government Veers Into Issuing Opinions By JOSH MITCHELL WASHINGTON—The government proposed labeling each new passenger vehicle with a letter grade from A to D based on its fuel efficiency and emissions, part of a broader effort by the Obama administration to promote electric cars and other advanced-technology vehicles. Journal Community The proposed new rules, released jointly Monday by the Environmental Protection Agency and the Transportation Department, would be the most substantial change in 30 years to the familiar price-and-mileage labels affixed to the windows of new...

Not every American who marches behind a hateful crackpot is a hateful crackpot. The peaceful, thoughtful throng that assembled for Louis Farrakhan at the Million Man March in 1995 -- including a young Barack Obama -- proved that point. Notwithstanding some commentary, I tend to feel the same way about the much different (and rather smaller) assemblage that gathered at the behest of Glenn Beck in Washington last Saturday. Certainly, if you’re president of the United States, the most prudent course is to draw a distinction between the leader and the anonymous masses and treat the latter with at least...

In recent weeks, the Muslim Brotherhood front, Hamas funder and unindicted co-conspirator CAIR has been given ongoing nationwide exposure. They have taken to the airwaves accusing me of leading a crusade against Muslims, which is patently untrue. Both Saturday and Sunday nights, this past weekend, Geraldo Rivera had on the vile Zead Ramadan of CAIR, who, yet again, made wild accusations as an incitement to violence against those who oppose the Islamic supremacist Ground Zero mosque and the sharia in America. Laura Ingraham, Bill O'Reilly, MSNBC, Chris Matthews, Keith Olbermann and others have allowed these stealth jihadists to go on...

One of the worst developments to emerge in the Ground Zero mega mosque attack is the platform being given to Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas funder groups on mainstream media news channels. These subversive organizations are working to destroy us. There are so many Muslims of conscience against this mosque, why would media choose subversives to represent the American Muslim community? Would American media have promoted Goebbels or Himmler or Hitler sympathizers as representative of German Americans when allied forces were at war with the axis powers? It's the same thing. FBI refuses to cave in to Hamas-linked CAIR's intimidation tactics over...

FreeVoiceOfAus said... Pam, Great work calling out that guy at 7 min in, when you mentioned you're anti-jihad not Islam, the fact he seems to think attacking one is attacking the other is quite telling I also noticed the same old kitman seems to be pushed over and over, "we oppose terrorism" and "he opposes the terrorist actions of Hamas" both of which can be interpreted differently since "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Their definition of terrorism might be the act of killing "innocents" but what's an innocent, according to Jihadists, it means Muslims anyone else doesn't...

ABC: Men arrested at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport were preparing terrorist attack Monday, August 30th, 2010 at 9:23 pm | Monica Lawrence | By Monica Lawrence AMSTERDAM (BNO NEWS) -- Two men were arrested aboard a United Airlines flight after landing at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport on Monday, ABC News reported. The network, citing Dutch public prosecutor Ernst Koelman, said the men were arrested at the request of American authorities after the flight landed in Amsterdam. ABC said the men were subsequently charged with "preparation of a terrorist attack." The two were allowed to board the flight at O'Hare International Airport in...

President Obama and wife Michelle leaving a restaurant in Martha's Vineyard, whilst on their summer holidays Michelle Obama adds another designer to her United Nations fashion portfolio. America's First Lady Michelle Obama's holiday wardrobe this year includes a vibrant, patchwork, folkloric dress by the London-based Nigerian designer, Duro Olowu. The dress, a funky, layered, smock-style, features at least five different silk prints. Mrs Obama was photographed wearing the dress while out for dinner this week, with her husband, in Martha's Vineyard. She has previously worn Duro Olowu's designs in 2008 and 2009, and has long been a 'collector' of...

August 28, 2010 Cordoba Mosque Developer's Run-ins with Cops and Money Problems Clarice Feldman The New York Daily News reports Sharif El-Gamal, the developer of the Cordoba Mosque has had 7 run ins with the law and money difficulties: Years before his latest real-estate project ignited an uproar, Sharif El-Gamal racked up at least seven run-ins with the law, including a bust for patronizing a prostitute. "I regret many things that I did in my youth. I have not always led a perfect life," El-Gamal, 37, said in a statement to the Daily News. His most recent arrest was for...

Obama says he ignored Beck rally He seemed intent on casting himself as above the political fray, saying he had more important work to do than to engage in the back and forth of the political “silly season.” For example, Obama said he did not watch any of Fox News Channel host Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally Saturday on the National Mall. “It’s not surprising that somebody like a Mr. Beck is able to stir up a certain portion of the country. That's been true throughout our history,” he said. But “I’m making decisions that are not necessarily good for...

Frankly, I don't know how much more the American taxpayer is going to take. It's awful enough that the nation is embroiled in a battle to stop an Islamic supremacist mega mosque at Ground Zero. We found out last week that the State department was funding the radical imam's trip to the Middle East despite the Imam's anti-American and deeply troubling statements, i.e., "we tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al Qaida has on its hands of innocent non Muslims." Now it's Daisy the con's turn. The American...

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Federal agents have been called out to investigate a possible arson case at the construction site of a controversial Islamic Center of Murfreesboro in Rutherford County. Officials said four construction vehicles were doused in some kind of flammable liquid accelerant early Saturday morning. Firefighters were alerted to the situation by a passerby who saw flames at the site. Only one large earth hauler was set on fire before the suspect or suspects left the scene. Investigators believed the people responsible for the fire was spooked and ran off before igniting the other three pieces of machinery. Agents...
