Robert Spencer: What we should be fighting for this July 4

1. Freedom of religion

What we must defend:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof…” — First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

What we must defend it against:

“Islam isn’t in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth.” — CAIR co-founder and longtime Board Chairman Omar Ahmad (he denies saying it, but the original reporter stands by her story)

“I wouldn’t want to create the impression that I wouldn’t like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future.”

— CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper

Quote of the day:

“War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling that thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.” – John Stuart Mill

* A call to arms:

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. … God forbid we should ever be twenty years without such a rebellion; what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.” – Thomas Jefferson to William Stephens Smith, 1787

* There is no end to this. Da’awa in the Schools. Da’wa in the prisons. Da’awa in the military: ramming Islam down your throat. And if they can’t get you they get your kids.

Alsager School, near Stoke, has received furious complaints from parents after two Year 7 boys were punished for refusing to kneel to Allah during a religious studies class

* Mail Online

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson.

Parents were outraged that the two boys from year seven (11 to 12-year-olds) were punished for not wanting to take part in the practical demonstration of how Allah is worshipped.

They said forcing their children to take part in the exercise at Alsager High School, near Stoke-on-Trent - which included wearing Muslim headgear - was a breach of their human rights.

Arab News

JEDDAH: The grand mufti of Saudi Arabia yesterday urged citizens and residents to take the Al-Qaeda threat seriously and join hands with the Kingdom’s security forces in defeating the group.

“The finding of weapons and dangerous explosives to carry out subversive acts and destroy economic installations… should not be taken lightly,” said Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Asheikh.

The statement follows news last week of the arrest of 701 Al-Qaeda militants in the last six months for allegedly plotting to carry out terrorist attacks on oil facilities and other vital installations.

 Jihadist group sends threat letters to Mosul churches over plan to establish an Assyrian-Christian police force

Dhimmis are forbidden to bear arms. “Iraq: Islamist group threatens churches in Mosul,” fromAdnkronos International, July 2:

“We remind the dhimmi people [Jews and Christians] that Iraq is for the noble Iraqis and not for how you are now.”

The Islamist group also refers to Assyrian Christians as ‘Dhimmi’, or a non-Muslim subject of the state governed by Islamic Sharia law.

Of course, that includes paying jizya, which has been extracted under brutal threats.

* This is the same beef Islam has with Israel: Jews must not be allowed to rule any part of this earth, that is a sole privilege of the soldiers of Allah…

“I suspect this letter may have actually come from Ansar Al-Islam,” said an unnamed Assyrian community leader, referring to the Kurdish Islamist group affiliated with al-Qaeda.

“The Kurds don’t want us to have our own police force.”

Assyrians are an ethnic group in Iran, Iraq, Turkey and Syria. Nearly all Assyrians converted to Christianity during the first century A.D.

Most of the Christians in Iraq belong to the Assyrian and Chaldean Catholic denominations. Others groups include Syrian Orthodox or protestants….

Muslims should be able to live under Sharia

The judge speaks coolly of not allowing stonings and amputations, but how will he keep them out once the principle that Sharia can be applied in Britain is accepted? The next step will be challenges to the principle that whenever British law and Sharia come into conflict, Sharia must give way. And soon enough that principle will give way also.

*  Nothing to do with Islam, of course not. From Mark Forbes,The Age:

A suspect is led off a plane. 

POLICE have foiled plans for devastating bombings in Indonesia by uncovering an international terrorist cell, arresting 10 men and seizing more than 20 bombs in South Sumatra.

The team was manufacturing and stockpiling sophisticated explosives, reportedly for use against Western tourists or targets. It was part of the network of Bali bombing mastermind Noordin Top.

The arrests began six days ago when a 35-year-old school teacher was arrested near the town of Palembang, police said.

Singapore had issued an international red alert about the man, whose initials police gave as MH. He is understood to have been an associate of Osama bin Laden and part of the Jemaah Islamiah plot to bomb the Australian and American embassies in Singapore in 2001.

Shackled and blindfolded, nine men were flown to Jakarta yesterday for interrogation, while one was still being held in Palembang. They were captured in a series of raids by Indonesia’s elite Detachment 88, assisted by Australian Federal Police.

The discovery of the cell is cause for major concern and will force a rethink by experts who believed JI’s international network had effectively been wound up.

It will be particularly unwelcome news for the Indonesian tourism industry, which, almost three years after the country’s last major terrorist attack, had been enjoying a revival.

* A look at  friendly, ‘tolerant & modern’ Indonesia and Malaysia

The number of Australian tourists going to Bali has been rising steadily despite Canberra’s refusal to remove its travel warning on Indonesia, which states there is a very high threat of imminent attack.

Indonesian police spokesman Abubakar Nataprawira said a large quantity of explosive material had been seized in the raids.

“Detachment 88 has managed to arrest 10 people from a terrorist network,” he said.

“This group of terrorists is connected to the Noordin Top group.

“They have confiscated five ‘Tupperware’ bombs, 14 pipe bombs and potassium chlorate - the quality and quantity is under investigation,” Inspector-General Nataprawira said. Another six incomplete pipe bombs were found.

* King of Jordan ridicules boycott of Israel

Makor Rishon correspondent Hodaya Karish-Hazony, reports today that “Mem”, the soldier who killed the terrorist yesterday in Jerusalem, had been severely beaten by police during an anti-disengagement protest that took place May 2005.

“Mem”, who at the time was 17, was beaten unconscious by police as he photographed - from the sidewalk - a protest in Ramat Gan during which the road was blocked.

Karish-Hazony suggests that police decided to beat him unconscious even though he was standing on the sidewalk and not involved in blocking the road in an attempt to stop him from documenting the event.

“Mem” was detained and released several days later and his file was closed for “lack of evidence” - a move that left a police record that made it necessary for him to have to fight the IDF in order to be drafted into an elite unit.

Yediot Ahronot reports that it took “Mem” two years of arguing with the IDF before he was ultimately drafted into an elite unit.

King of Jordan ridicules boycott of Israel

“…In fact, I cannot think of a major company that does not do business 
with Israel. If all these companies are offlimits then we are in deep 
trouble. For example, Intel whose chips power 80 per cent of computers 
around the world has billions of dollars of investments in Israel; its 
closest competitor AMD also has large investments in Israel. Does that mean 
we should throw our computers away? This is nonsense. If we follow this line 
of thought, then we will be doing the best service to Israel. All it has to 
do is use the best technology and best talent in the world and automatically 
it would be offlimits to us. “
