Glenn Beck: Obama's Faith in 'Collective Salvation'



There’s also a clip with Laura Ingraham and the sleazy Daisy Khan, lying her fat ass off. Now if Laura would know something about Islamic doctrine, about taqiyya, (religiously mandated lying to advance Islam) she could have plucked Daisy’s feathers. Like this, it was just another exercise in futility:

Infiltration: Grover Norquist's Dirty Little (Islamic) Scam

The Ground Zero Mosque’s “Conservative” Supporter

Posted by Ryan Mauro/Frontpagemag

Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and proponents of his plan to build a 13-story Islamic center near Ground Zero are now being helped by Grover Norquist, President of Americans for Tax Reform and conservative Republican activist. Norquist and his associates are calling on the Republican Party to drop its opposition to the plan, arguing that the GOP is threatening the rights of Muslims and that its criticism will backfire politically.

Norquist and his friends are distributing a letter saying that the Republicans fighting Imam Rauf’s plan are infringing upon religious freedom and are “alienating millions of Arab American and Muslim American voters who believe, as we do, in the principles of our party—individual liberty, traditional values, and the rule of law.”

Among those signing the letter are Suhail A. Khan, listed as the Chairman of the Conservative Inclusion Coalition and Norquist’s wife, Samah, listed as a Senior Advisor to Arab and Muslim Outreach for the U.S. Agency for International Development under the Bush Administration.

Islamic Antisemitism 101: The Daisy Khan Con (Atlas)

It is outrageous to compare Muslims to Jews, particularly in view of the Qu’ran’s Jew-hatred. But the propaganda succeeds because of a lazy, dumbed down media machine  that steadfastly refuses to study other cultures.

Why Are We ‘Driving Ms. Daisy’?: State Dept. about to Send GZM Imam’s Wife to Join Him on Goodwill Mideast Tour (Frank Gaffney)

Yes, fresh from denouncing America on national television as a place rife with “hate of Muslims,” a place so Islamophobic that “it’s beyond Islamophobia,” Daisy Khan, co-planner of the Ground Zero mosque project, will soon be hopping a plane at taxpayer expense, courtesy of the State Department, to jet from New York to the United Arab Emirates and deliver to the Emiratis her views about Muslim life in America.

This is what the State Department calls “public diplomacy” — a program that enlists about 1,200 Americans each year to fly with plenty of leg room to foreign lands and tell folks over there what it’s like to live in America. You might think a lot of these junkets would by now be redundant, in a world so interconnected that the Fort Hood shooter took cues from an imam in Yemen. But then, the web just doesn’t have the zing of international business class and $496 per diems.

For Daisy Khan’s circle, State’s public diplomacy program is a boom industry. (So are a lot of things for Khan & partners right now, subject of my latest column, Cashing In On Ground Zero). Khan’s husband and “bridge-building” partner, the man behind the Ground Zero mosque, Imam Feisal Adbul Rauf, is already on a more extensive State Department tour. After stops in Bahrain, where he has just been, and Qatar, where he will be this week, Rauf will meet up with Khan in the UAE, from Aug. 29-Sept.2. His trip will cost U.S. taxpayers $16,000. Hers will  cost $12,000. (smearing America on your dime)

Obama Scrubs White House Website of Climate Change Promises, Media Mum (Gateway)

According to two recent national polls, most Americans no longer believe that  Hussein Obama is a Christian, and as many as 1-in-5 Americans believe the president to be a Muslim.

The Whitehouse immediately fired back to say emphatically that the president is not a Muslim (“Not that there’s anything wrong with that”), and pointed out that even though the president doesn’t attend church, he “prays every day” (although the Whitehouse didn’t mention which way he’s facingat the time), and he receives a “Christian devotional” thought-of-the-day every morning on his Blackberry!

NSW moonbat cabinet votes against burqa ban

Eyes wide shut

Louise Hall/SMH

NSW Premier Kristina Keneally says her government will not support a ban on the burqa, the head and body veil worn by some Muslim women, because “such a ban has no place in multicultural NSW”.

Birds of a feather:  NSW Premier Kristina Keneally with fellow moonbat Cate Blanchett

Christian Democratic Party MP Fred Nile had called on both major parties to allow members a conscience vote on his private member’s bill, which was introduced into Parliament in June.

Mr Nile wants NSW to follow a growing number of European countries trying to ban women from wearing in public the burqa and the niqab, a veil with a narrow opening for the eyes.

Interfaith kumbaya for the Muslim vote:

However, at an interfaith dinner with about 300 religious leaders last night, Ms Keneally announced that cabinet had decided to oppose the Full-face Coverings Prohibition Bill, which is modelled on legislation recently passed by the Belgian Parliament.

“We are fortunate to live in a largely harmonious state where differences in language, culture and faith are rightly seen as things which enliven and strengthen our society,” Ms Keneally said.

“It is in this spirit that the NSW Government has decided to oppose the bill seeking to create a criminal offence of wearing a burqa in public places.”

Mr Nile said he was disappointed that MPs would not be allowed a conscience vote when the bill returns to Parliament next month.

Pelosi actions renew need for congressional investigation into Islamic-oriented censorship

“Speaker Nancy Pelosi has attempted to expand censorship into the public sphere with her threat to ‘investigate’ those who oppose the mosque.  By using her name and office, Pelosi has tried to muzzle first amendment free speech, crossing the line in impinging on a sacred trust for all Americans,” said Roger L. Simon, CEO of Pajamas Media.  “So far, it has been internalgovernment documents that have been sanitized of Islamic terminology such as ‘Islam’ and ‘Sharia.’  Now, the government is expanding that censorship to sanitize the public conversation.  Shouldn’t Congress be investigating the financial backing of the mosque, as opposed to the 61 percent of Americans, including Majority Leader Harry Reid and Howard Dean, who are opposed to the mega-mosque?”   (PR Newswire)

“Moderate” Ground Zero mega-mosque imam: U.S. has more blood on its hands than Al-Qaeda

Why can’t we have a moderate mass-murder of Jews? Its our religion…!

Jihad Watch

Why is everyone so sure that the Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a “moderate”? Because he says he is, silly, and why on earth should we doubt him? But he also says other things.Pamela Geller has an exclusive on the shocking details plus audio of Rauf’s statements. Speaking in Australia in 2005, Rauf said these things and more:

“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. You may remember that the US-led sanctions against Iraq led to the death of over half a million Iraqi children. This has been documented by the United Nations. And when Madeleine Albright, who has become a friend of mine over the last couple of years, when she was Secretary of State and was asked whether this was worth it, said it was worth it.”

Pamela Geller notes: “No mention of the 270 million victims of over a millennium of jihadi wars, land appropriations, cultural annihilation and enslavement. No mention of the recent slaughter by Muslims of Christians, Hindus, Jews, non-believers in Indonesia, Thailand, Ethiopia, Somalia, Philippines, Lebanon, Israel, Russia, China……………. no candor, no criticism of Islam.”

There is a great deal more, and it is damning. Be sure to read it all, and listen to the audio.

Alternative rejected: Muslima Terrorizes Disney With Litigation Jihad

Muslim employee rejects Disney’s hat alternative

Imane Boudlal, a restaurant hostess at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, last week in a press conference accused Disney of religious discrimination for refusing to let her wear a hijab, a head scarf, in public view.

On Monday, Disney offered Boudlal a bonnet with a hat to wear at work in public.

Boudlal rejected the new headwear and went home for a seventh time, according to the hotel workers’ union, Unite Here Local 11. Disney has offered to let her work behind the scenes with the head scarf, but Boudlal has refused.

“The hat makes a joke of me and my religion, and draws even more attention to me,” Boudlal said in a prepared statement. “It’s unacceptable.   (Orange County Register)

Why feminism cares more about Palin’s breasts than dead women

The feminazi movement is about political opportunism, not women’s rights.  If the two coincide, the feminazis will support women. If not they’ll abandon women.

Their attitude to the treatment of women by islam proves all that needs to be proved.  There is a clash between their leftist multicultural relativism and their supposed intrest in women’s rights.  And PC leftism wins every time, especially when it comes to cultural relativism that sees women buried up to their shoulders and slowly murdered by thrill seeking towelheads with the humanity of reptiles….

Dana Loesch:

Popularly defined feminism is no longer about liberating women from the patriarchy but about beholding them to a political party… Liberal feminists made more hay about Palin’s chest than I saw them make over the nine women who were recently stoned to death in the Middle East.

Why Do Feminists Attack Sarah and Not Sharia?

Dough Giles/Townhall

Given Islam’s enslavement of women and the Sharia erection of the Cordoba Initiative’s chief con man, Abdul Rauf, you’d think N.O.W. and their ilk would now be raising more Cain about this Ground Zero Mosque than they are about Sarah Palin.

Why should one think this? Well, it’s principally because Sharia kind of sha-whizzes on hard-won women’s rights, that’s sha-why. Duh. Yet we’re not hearing a whole heck of a lot from the fiery feminists regarding this Ground Zero affront and what it could entail for the girls among us. Yep, we’re hearing crickets from the virulent vixens of the lovely Left who vie for women’s rights.

Thilo Sarazzin: Germany is destroying itself

The truth hurts: the lemmings are comitted to mass suicide.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

“In Germany an army of integration-assigned Islamist researchers works intensively hand in hand with sociologists, political scientists, government representatives and a crowd of naive politicians on minimisation, self-deception and the denial of problems”

Anger as ex-finance minister warns Muslims ‘making Germany stupid’

By ALLAN HALL/The Scotsman (H/T Weasel Zippers)

A LEADING German Social Democrat has written a book with an apocalyptic vision of his country sliding into poverty, stupidity and Muslim domination.

Now his book, Germany is destroying itself: How we are gambling with our country, threatens the strained social fabric of the “multi-culti” Fatherland once more at a time of rising racial tensions and the radicalisation of Islamic youth.

“I don’t want the country of my grandchildren and great-grandchildren to become, in large part, Muslim, that over wide areas Turkish and Arabic are spoken, where the women wear headscarves and the daily rhythms of life are dictated by the call of the Muezzin,” he writes.

“Demographically, the enormous fertility of the Muslim migrants poses a threat for the cultural and civilization equilibrium in aging Europe.”

Mr Sarrazin’s book, published next week, began serialisation in the best-selling tabloid Bild yesterday and paints a “bleak portrayal of a country suffering the consequences of a low birth rate, immigration and poverty. Are we gambling with our well-being, social freedom and the stability of our society?”

He claims national identity will be lost in a few short decades.

Who are the Real Bigots?

Update:

Is Time a Muslim Magazine? (by Phyllis Chesler)
Sultan Knish

Over the last year every time the media sensed that it might be on the losing side of an argument, it began shouting “Bigot”. When ObamaCare and the Big Bailouts began floundering in the polls and meeting up with populist protests, the media began running stories accusing the protesters of being bigots, while claiming that “Socialist” was actually a racial slur. Now the media and its political agenda is once again on the wrong side of the American people over the Ground Zero Mosque, and once again the media is playing the bigotry card.

At times like these it’s all too obvious why liberals have been so determined to co-opt race, because it gives them an open ended smear to use in virtually any situation. In the Obama Era, the media has been certain that the very presence of a half-black politician behind their agenda, meant they had an unlimited use of the race card. They were wrong. The media’s smears have resounded only inside liberal echo chambers, and their constant attempts at exploiting a serious problem, for their own political advantage has rebounded on them.

But even as many prominent Democrats are cutting and running, the media has decided to make a last stand over the Ground Zero Mosque, in their time honored fashion of yelling, “Bigot” over and over again. The members of our red fourth estate, who graduated from shouting “Bigot” at college campus protests, to penning long articles for major newspapers about America’s history of bigotry, have only adopted a more sophisticated way of shouting “Bigot”, while showing their contempt for the vast majority of Americans who oppose the Ground Zero Mosque.

The same “courageous” activists of the press, who are busy scribbling and babbling their condemnations of American bigotry– quietly censored themselves when it came to standing up for freedom of speech against the cartoon beheaders. Because while they might lie to the public about being afraid of the Tea Party Movement or the Ground Zero Mosque protesters, they can’t lie to themselves. When the door is closed, and the shades are drawn, and it’s just them and their Mac Book Pro, it’s not the Tea Party they’re afraid of. It’s Ahmed and his axe.

Condemning Christians in America or Jews in Israel earns you a Pulitzer. Condemning Muslims in the Islamic world, earns you a jail term or a funeral. Over here, they “courageously” denounce American bigotry. In the Muslim world, they whitewash the real story so the local regime doesn’t put them on the next plane back to where they came from. For their own safety. That’s why a video by a US soldier or a Facebook photo by an IDF soldier will be front page stories. But the treatment of Copts in Egypt, Hindus in Bangaldesh or Kurds in Turkey will be buried somewhere far out of sight.

So who are the real bigots?

There is hardly a Muslim country where Christians, Jews, Hindus, Bahai and others are not second class citizens. By contrast Muslims have been given equal rights in America, Europe and Israel. Yet that’s not the image you will get from the media, which will accuse non-Muslim countries of bigotry, without daring to hold Muslim countries accountable for institutionalized discrimination with its roots in Islamic Sharia Law. The media has declared that the Muslim version of Jim Crow is just fine and dandy, and that the real problem is that some Americans couldn’t help but notice that 9/11 happened.

If recognizing the daily death toll of Islamic violence worldwide makes one a bigot, then the truth itself is discriminatory. But who does it discriminate against? By sidelining coverage of Islamic bigotry and persecution, the media discriminates against Buddhists, Hindus, Christians and other non-Muslims who are oppressed and looking for aid. By denying them a hearing, the media discriminates against hundreds of millions of people. But furthermore by failing to report the truth, the media discriminates against Muslims by failing to expose and report on stories that could lead to social reforms and ethical awakenings. Instead the media shouts, “Bigots” at non-Muslims, while patting Muslims on the head and telling them how wonderful their faith is. And isn’t that the worst bigotry of all? Because to deny someone in trouble the truth, is to deny them the opportunity to change.

Some Muslims have actually shown better judgment on the Ground Zero Mosque, than the media has, by recognizing that it is a bad idea. Had the media done its job of reporting the news, instead of shrilly editorializing for its own political agenda, more might have been able to reach that conclusions without having to wait for the polls, which showed that the vast majority of Americans and New Yorkers were opposed to the project. Instead it looks like Imam Rauf will be exposed as a hatemonger, and those politicians and the press that got behind the Ground Zero Mosque will be the ones on the wrong side. And because the media insisted on turning this into a referendum on Islam, they will have accomplished exactly what they claimed to be fighting against. The characterization of Islam as an ideology that encourages violence and disdains America, even when it operates on American soil.

And so the media is giving it its last best effort. It’s warning us that America will look hostile to Islam if it does not allow the Ground Zero Mosque to be built. Yet up until September 11, plenty of mosques were built in America. Yet that did not prevent any of the Muslim terrorist attacks that occurred up until that time. The presence of mosques did not serve as a shield in Manhattan then. It certainly isn’t going to now. Sensitivity will not save us. Neither will a willingness to bend over backward to our enemies. Such behavior is not only foolish, it actually provokes attack.

If sensitivity were the issue here, it would be far more incumbent on Muslims to show sensitivity to 3,000 American dead, than for Americans to show sensitivity to a grandiose Muslim building project in a part of America where there is no Muslim community. Think about it. In every culture, respect for the dead is a basic value. And those who do not respect the dead of another people, similarly show that they do not respect the living. That matter of disrespect to Americans, both living and dead, has sharpened the situation. And all the doubletalk in the world from Park51 won’t change that. And if the situation were reversed, and an American church was being built in a damaged building in Afghanistan, near a spot where thousands had died in Coalition bombings, there is no doubt whatsoever whose side the New York Times editorial would come out on. But that’s because like Imam Rauf, the Times staffers respect Muslim dead, just not American dead.

Finally the media dragged out the “Freedom of Religion” argument, claiming that mosque opponents are undermining the Constitution. But the First Amendment provides unlimited protection to freedom of religious belief, not freedom of religious practice. If it were otherwise, houses of worship would not be subject to zoning laws. Or any laws for that matter. And since Ground Zero Mosque defenders have already argued that it is not a religious building, but some sort of 13 story community center (in a neighborhood without an actual Muslim community), they have already contradicted their own argument. They cannot argue that the building is both religious and non-religious at the same time.

But don’t count on the media to hold to any intellectually consistent standards. The same media that attacked Dr. Laura for using a racial slur, will ignore Imam Rauf’s use of the same racial slur. The same media that criticized Israel’s reconstruction of the Hurva synagogue in Jerusalem, destroyed in the Jordanian ethnic cleansing of Jews from East Jerusalem, insists that any impediment to the Ground Zero Mosque is a horrifying testament to American bigotry.

In March, the same New York Times which has been going on a tear about any resistance to the Ground Zero Mosque, described the timing of the Huvra rebuilding as “unfortunate” and quoted Muslims who were worried that from certain angles, the synagogue would appear to be taller than some mosque (a no-no for infidels under Islamic law). The LA Times equated the rebuilding of the synagogue with “extremism“. Reuters quoted ominous warnings about the synagogue being part of an effort to “Judaize“, Jerusalem. The media did not angrily condemn Muslims for their intolerance of the rebuilding of an ancient Jewish house of worship. But that is the double standard. And it is part of the reason why people are so upset.

If Muslims actually extended tolerance, instead of only demanding it– we wouldn’t be in this mess in the first place. Instead Muslims demand the right to do what they want in non-Muslim countries, while insisting that non-Muslims abide by a rigid code of behavior in Muslim countries. American female politicians must accept their inferiority when visiting Muslim countries by wearing a headcovering that symbolizes female submission to men. British tourists have been arrested for a casual kiss in Dubai. And the media defends all this by saying that Muslims have the right to set the rules in their country. Yet apparently we don’t have the right to do the same thing.

This is not about bigotry. This is about the media’s moral and physical cowardice in refusing to stand up to actual bigotry around the world. And the victims of their silence include both non-Muslims and Muslims. Meanwhile the media can continue shrieking about bigotry. It will not win them the argument, all it will do is further devalue the accusation. Because you can only cry wolf for so long, until people stop paying attention. And when you refuse to cry wolf at an actual predator, while crying it at everyone you dislike, then no one will end up listening to you at all.
