Interesting.... This muslim Cleric visited london EXACTLY one year ago from the date of the attacks, July 7, 2004 CNSNews.com) - London Mayor Ken Livingstone's previous support of a Muslim cleric who advocates suicide bombings may cause him some embarrassment as he now must speak for the city in the wake of Thursday's terrorist bombings. Livingstone condemned the Thursday attacks as "mass murder," and added that "this was not a terrorist attack against the mighty or the powerful, it is not aimed at presidents or prime ministers, it was aimed at ordinary working-class Londoners." Yet Livingstone has in the past...

New information is emerging about efforts by major Democratic Party figures to undercut American war efforts in Iraq by providing aid to the insurgents.  Lt. Col. Buzz Patterson's article Treason in America details how a coalition of radical organizations, including US-based Code Pink, delivered some $600,000 in cash and supplies to insurgents and their families in Fallujah, just days after 51 American troops were killed there in some of the bloodiest action of the Iraq war.  An approving article published in Islam Online tipped off the connection between the anti-American Global Exchange coalition and the Democrats who made their venture...

Here we have another reason to be disgusted with our own government. In their defense of Islam, the Democracy, Human Rights and Labor division, of the US State Department has scolded some of our European allies for the conflict with Islam across the pond. I am not calling for violence against Muslims in Europe, but of course non-Muslims are starting to turn against Muslims in Europe, and that is because Muslims have come there, shown the cultures of Europe no respect, and are constantly pushing to takeover, with no concerns for the beliefs of anyone else. Below the article are...

In early March, a gal named Rosanna Pulido won the Republican primary for the upcoming special congressional election in Illinois’ District 5, Rahm Emanuel’s former kingdom. She will lose. But not before making the funnies! She was the founder of the Illinois chapter of the Minutemen, because she *hates* the Mexicans. Once in a CNN interview she described John McCain as “just another politician that acts as if he was elected to represent the Mexican government.” Well maybe he was!

Perhaps it is due to the sense of disfranchisement many Muslims in America have felt over the last seven years or maybe it is due to the fact that American Muslims are a maturing community and along with numerical growth and age comes political sophistication. "It is time for Muslims to step up to the plate in 2008 and take their souls to the polls," Imam Mahdi Bray, the Executive Director...

Dear questioner, thank you very much for having confidence in us, and we hope our efforts, which are purely for Allah's Sake, meet your expectations. Islam encourages Muslims to have a positive and interactive role in their communities, especially in non-Muslim countries where people need to know about Islam and its tolerant teachings in today’s world. Refraining from voting is nothing more than a defeat for Muslims, who are not supposed to isolate themselves. Rather, they should rise to the situation and come out from their cocoons.

MOSUL, January 30 (IslamOnline.net) – It is election day in Iraq and citizens, mainly Shiites and Kurds, went out in droves to cast their ballots. But many youths in this predominately Sunni city were busy kicking or carrying a ball for a fervent soccer match. Amid boycott calls from leading Sunni powers and scenes of deserted bullet-scarred polling stations, the majority of the city’s population did not demonstrate any enthusiasm for the vote, the first in a half-century. As soon as the dawn-to-dusk curfew imposed by Iraqi and US authorities ended at 6:00 a.m., football-frenzied youths fanned out across the...
