Reports concern Muslims

By H.G. Reza, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer

Alleged checks on San Diego, L.A. mosques spark calls for hearings.

* Muslims complain and the ACLU  springs into action:

*  ACLU demands  congressional hearings on  why mosques are under surveillance: shouldn’t we monitor the churches, the synagogues and the Buddhist temples also? If not, why not? All religions are equally bad, right?

* Some people don’t think so. In fact they think it would be criminal negligence NOT to monitor the mosques since we know already that Saudis have radicalized 80% of US mosques

A report that mosques in Los Angeles and San Diego are under federal surveillance has resurrected fears in the Muslim community about government monitoring and led two civil rights groups Wednesday to call for congressional hearings.

*  ACLU lawyers regularly go to mosques to advise worshipers that they do not have to answer questions from FBI agents about how long they have been in the United States, how often they attend services and what they get out of the sermons, Ripston said.

Collective dumbing down in the MSM:

“Words matter”: Homeland Security rolls out newspeak campaign, cautions against use of terms like “jihadists,” “Islamic terrorists,” “Islamists” and “holy warriors”

Again, we see the argument that using those terms somehow “legitimizes” or “aggrandizes” the jihadist movement. But honestly, is the public deflection of the Islamic aspect of Islamic jihad going to hinder jihadists from making the connection, or will it hinder ordinary citizens seeking information? Obviously, it will be the latter. And when the public is discouraged from understanding the jihadist enemy’s ideology, whom does that ultimately help?

An update on the new governmental lexicon of acceptable terms for talking about… you know. And that was a story that Jihad Watch broke here, by the way. “Agency urges caution with terrorist language,” from CNN, May 31:

WASHINGTON (CNN) — Government officials should depict terrorists “as the dangerous cult leaders they are” and avoid words that aggrandize them, like “jihadists,” “Islamic terrorists,” “Islamists” and “holy warriors,” the Department of Homeland Security says in a paper released Friday.

Chertoff: “Islam has been hijacked by ideologues”

*  How does one hijack the religion of hijackers?

Almost seven years have passed since 9/11, and we’re hearing the same thing from our leaders that we’ve heard since 9/12. It is a reminder that, at the highest level of government, policy decisions are driven — hijacked, if you will — by willful blindness to the roots of the ideology that motivates not only al-Qaeda, but is also common to Hizballah, Hamas, and other jihadist groups. Does anyone at the State Department, Homeland Security, or elsewhere, ever puzzle at how ingrained and widespread jihadist activity is, even outside of the Wahhabi sphere of influence, if it’s supposedly all just a big misunderstanding and “hijacking” of an otherwise peaceful belief system?

*  Inayat Bunglawala, polit-commissar for Islam-intern (MCB) in Londonistan, knows all about ethics. In fact the Bunglawussi knows so much about ethics that he wants to teach some (ethics) to the outspoken Bishop Nazir-Ali, who calls for converting Muslims to Christianity.  Something  so brazen and unheard of that it left the whole ummah spooked,  and we can’t have that because we won’t let anyone or anything stand in the way of the Islamization of Britain.

From this article in the Telegraph:

A senior bishop has been accused of “doing the BNP’s work” by claiming radical Islam is filling the gap created by the decline of Christianity in Britain.

Its Assistant Secretary-General, Inayat Bunglawala, said: “We can understand Bishop Nazir-Ali’s concern about what he sees as the declining influence of Christianity in this country, but scaremongering about Islam is not a particularly ethical way of seeking to correct that.

“Frankly, his behaviour is quite unbecoming of a senior clergyman.”

* Bungla gets (unexpected) help from a useful idiot:

Terry Sanderson, president of the National Secular Society and author of important works like “The Gay Man’s Kama Sutra” said: “Dr Nazir-Ali’s remarks are ill-advised, dangerous and manipulative.

“He is playing a very dangerous game with these repeated scaremongering tactics against Muslims, and risks doing the BNP’s work for them.

“He risks creating even more hostility towards the Muslim community in this country – and community relations are already very fragile in some places.”

* Lets all drink the cool aid, Terry. Important work you’re doing here! But for whom are you working again?

The NSS, which campaigns against what it calls the privileged position of religious groups in society, called on the Archbishop of Canterbury to discipline the bishop for his remarks and prevent him from making “further inflammatory statements”.

* Get this inverted logic right: Terry Sanderson, who runs an outfit called the ‘National Secular Society’, who is supposedly ‘campaigning against privileged position of religious groups in society is campaining against the Church of England on behalf of Muhammedan infil-traitors. Yet no other group in England enjoys a more privileged position than the soldiers of Allah.

* Why would that be?

Update:

Ontario “turns a blind eye to polygamy”

*  Polygamy: a woman’s view

* Spencer:

What is always striking about stories like this is the eagerness with which proponents of Sharia-approved practices regarded as unacceptable in the West attempt to invoke Western human rights laws to defend their behavior, while in countries enforcing Sharia law, Western standards of human rights are disregarded out of hand, or even deemed licentious.

The demands boil down to this: In the name of Western human rights, let us implement practices from Sharia law that are wholly incompatible with Western human rights. And the case cited in the editorial below demonstrates that Islamic polygamy results in the same oppression and deceit in North America as anywhere else.

“Sharia by stealth — Ontario turns a blind eye to polygamy” by John Turley Ewart for the National Post,

It’s an issue the Liberal govenrment of Ontario, led by Premier Dalton McGuinty, doesn’t want to deal with — polygamy in the Muslim community. Last week the Toronto Star told the story of Safa Rigby, a 35-year-old mother of five children who recently learned her husband of 14 years had two other wives. Ms. Rigby’s life is in tatters. She followed her husband’s advice that she leave Toronto and live in Egypt for a year on the grounds that it would be better for their children to spend more time in a Muslim country. Now she knows it was a ruse. He used her time there to marry two other women.

How it started: Dunkin’ Donuts ad girl wears keffiyeh:

* Pamela Geller runs the story May 18

* Other Bloggers run with it: Debbie Schlussel, Pam from Atlas Shrugs, LGF

* Just a scarf?

 Any more questions about whether the kaffiyeh is “just a scarf,” or a well-known symbol of Palestinian “resistance?”

An article by Mafaz al-Suwaidan in the very leftist, pro-Palestinian Toronto Star makes the point beautifully: More than just a chic checkered scarf.

* Nothing beats the Islamic sources, but when found out, they start screaming like seared pigs:

* So once again we see the united ummah howling and wingeing, this time over the Kaffiyeh, the terrorist scarf which became  the trademark of Yasser Arafartbastards dirty work:

* Bunglawussie @ ‘Islamophobia watch’ has the story here

* Islamo-Nazi finger pointing:

* His mental clone, Australia’s gloating jihad advocate Yusuf Irfan tops it up, here,

… and puts Michelle Malkin in KKK garb

Michelle has the story here

And what does this scarf symbolize?

* It unites the genocidal thugs who want to annihilate Israel

It was Arafatbastards trademark…

It is the uniform of the Mo-fucks who want to terrorize us into submission…

*  Boycott this scarf, boycott companies who sell it, shun those who wear it!

Al-Qaeda’s terrifying vision of a devastated America in the wake of a nuclear attack

Washington is laid to waste. The Capitol is a blackened, smoking ruin. The White House has been razed. Countless thousands are dead. 

This is the apocalyptic scene terrorists hope to create if they ever get their hands on a nuclear bomb.

* British official dreamin’

*  More clueless babble from Britain’s top anti-terror chief pencil pusher:

‘We must start negotiating with Al Qaeda’

* UK police chief ready to negotiate the surrender of Britain?

* Clueless stuck on stoopid

Daily Mail

One of Britain’s most senior policemen says the country should talk to Al Qaeda to try and end their bloody campaign of violence.

Sir Hugh Orde, a front-runner to replace Ian Blair as the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, said he could not think of a single terrorist campaign that ended without negotiation.

And after 30 years of tackling the IRA Sir Hugh, head of the Police Service of Northern Ireland, said he was convinced that policing - detecting plots and arresting people - was not enough alone to defeat terrorists.

* Alright then, Mr Orde, negotiate with this:

* Indonesian Cleric, Abu Bakar Bashir recently said:” If the west want to have peace, then they have to accept Islamic rule.”

* OBL has been saying the same thing all along

*   “We are not fighting so that you will offer us something. We are fighting to eliminate you.”

—Hussein Massawi, the former Hezbollah leader behind the slaughter of U.S. and French forces 20 years ago.

“I would like to see the islamic flag fly, not only over number 10 Downing Street, but over the whole world,”
— Sheikh Omar Bakri Mohammed, (former leader of the extremist Al-Muhajiroun movement in Britain) in an interview with Reuters.

*  The above are just a few collected sayings by Islamic leaders.  We have hundreds more on record. Perhaps Mr Orde shoud take some time out and learn something about Islam.

Imams asked into schools

* Turning children into Musulmanic zombies?

Teachers and clerics to be part of new drive against extremists

* Fox in charge of the chicken coop alert:

* Once these guys are in charge perhaps incidents like this one will become quite common: A BLIND seven-year-old student at an Islamic school in eastern Pakistan has died after his teacher punished him for not learning the Koran, police said today.

Schools will be asked to help “win hearts and minds” in the battle against violent extremists. Ministers believe that lessons from Muslim clerics could steer pupils away from radicalisation.

*  This awful, deliberate stupidity is infuriating…

The Government will suggest next week that heads draft in British-born imams to teach citizenship so that pupils learn about the Koran and Islam in the context of a multicultural society.

* Socialist pipedreams…

Officials say the lessons could include “discussing rights of neighbours, the sacredness of life or the importance of equal opportunities”.

* The exact opposite of the Koran and the hadith. Which self respecting imam would teach something like that?

The idea is one of the solutions for schools suggested in the Prevent Strategy, to be published in conjunction with the Home Office, and aimed at stopping people from supporting extremists.

* More glossy pamphlets, that’ll fix it, sure thing.

It comes in the wake of last week’s Exeter restaurant bombing, which police suspect was the work of a British-educated convert to Islam, and the July 7, 2005 London attacks by home-grown terrorists, including a teaching assistant.

* Not true. If this reporting hack did his homework he would have found out that this idea goes back a few years.

* Thai Muslims, doing what they do best…

In a story Wednesday on a jihadist attack on a wedding party and other jihad activity in Thailand, Agence France Presse added a concluding paragraph that was typical of mainstream media coverage of the Thai jihad and of jihad activity in general. For while AP, Reuters, AFP and the rest never saw a piece of Palestinian propaganda they didn’t like, they also never saw a jihad they couldn’t whitewash.

AFP’s concluding paragraph blandly placed all the blame for the conflict on the non-Muslim Thai government:

More than 3,000 people have been killed since separatist unrest broke out in January 2004 in the south, which was an autonomous Malay Muslim sultanate until mainly Buddhist Thailand annexed it in 1902, provoking decades of tension.

* Land of smiles, Illustrated PIG (Warning/Graphic content!)

All was well, you see, until the Buddhists of Thailand, motivated apparently only by rapacious imperialism, annexed the poor autonomous Malay Muslim Sultanate. AFP does not mention, of course, that the Malay Sultanate at that time was making war against the Siamese during the war between Siam and Burma, and Thailand conquered it in that context — making it Thai by a right of conquest that has been universally recognized throughout human history (except, of course, when it comes to Israel and to any Muslim land that is conquered by non-Muslims).

Along with this come the media’s allergy to the word “jihad,” and its frequent recourse to the passive voice when discussing what the jihadists did. Sometimes inanimate objects act, apparently of their own accord. For example, in a March story on bombings in southern Thailand, Reuters’ lead paragraph stated: “Bombs killed three men and wounded 21 people in three separate attacks in Thailand’s troubled Muslim far south, police said on Sunday.” Reuters gives no hint as to who is doing the bombing and who are the victims – which in itself is a clear indication that the bombers are not the government or pro-government vigilantes, but jihadists.

Australia: Spurned Islamic school sponsors resort to blackmail: Give us our school, or “You may have some very extreme imams or religious teachers getting through to the children.”

* And therein lies an inadvertent admission of the presence and number of “very extreme imams or religious teachers” in Australia. Whoops.

An update on this story. “Islamic school imbroglio takes new turn in Australia,” by Neena Bhandari for New Kerala:

A new dimension has been added to the ongoing furore over the rejection of a plan to build an Islamic school on Sydney’s south-western fringes by some muslims warning that it would lead to extremist Islamic teaching.

* Sneaky Muhammedan proselytizing going on in Texas schools

Australian Federation of Islamic Councils president Ikebal Patel told the Sydney Morning Herald (SMH) that Islamic schools monitored by the State Government should be encouraged “or else Muslim children will be given their religious education in backyards and garages by… teachers whose credentials no one could vet. You may have some very extreme imams or religious teachers getting through to the children.”

* So who are those “very extreme imams or religious teachers who are getting through to the children?” Where are they now and are they teaching a different Islam to the children now?
