Arabs invented storytelling, you see: Â only because of them we have evolved to include motion pictures, TV shows, theater productions, novels, and stand-up comedy, but they all serve the same function: storytelling.
Cameron’s 2009 film tells the tale of a close-to-nature alien race fighting a mining company from Earth that’s ravaging their planet in pursuit of mineral wealth.
A leader of the planned Ground Zero Victory Mosque told told Christiane Amanpour this weekend that Americans are bigots. This Week reported, Via FOX Nation:
Daisy Khan, who is spearheading the mosque project with her husband, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, compared the opposition to the mosque to anti-Semitism. FOX Nation reported:
A leader of a planned Muslim community center near Manhattan’s Ground Zero compared opposition to the project to the persecution of Jews, in comments that could add to the controversy over the center’s proposed site.
“We are deeply concerned, because this is like a metastasized antisemitism,” said Daisy Khan, who is spearheading the project with her husband, Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf. “It’s beyond Islamophobia. It’s hate of Muslims.” Ground Zero Mosque (Gateway)
Hannity: Is there anyone on the left who doesn’t get tingles up his legs when the anointed one speaks?
Looks like Fox has hit a nerve. Interesting to see them talk about “fairness” when MSNBC, owned by General Electric and friend of Obama, Jeff Immelt spews outright lies and hatred 24-7.
But because it’s favorable to the O-dministration, it’s OK.
You know an administration has hit bottom when they start crying and whining about what is being said about them and no wonder; Fox is the highest rated cable channel on TV.
The leftist disinformation machine spins  faster than the Iranian centrifuges:
Once again it was Islamic jihadists, misunderstanding their peaceful religion. One wonders how many thousands of such stories are going to come across the transom before the learned analysts and the mainstream media begin to question their assumptions. And the answer is: no number of such stories will be sufficient, because their dogmas (Islam is a Religion of Peace that has been Hijacked by a Tiny Minority of Extremists, “Islamophobia” is a twin “extremism” paralleling “Islamic extremism,” etc.) aren’t based on evidence in the first place. “Blast kills at least 15 in Pakistan mosque,” from Reuters, August 23/JW:  Islamophobes murder 15 inside Pakistan mosque — no, wait…

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A U.S. Army soldier wants to leave the military service as a conscientious objector based on his beliefs as a Muslim, but he says he’s concerned he may be deployed to Afghanistan anyway. (More from RoP)

Despite the platitudes by President Obama about Islam being based on peace, the cold reality is very different. After all, peace and Islam do not go hand-in-hand because Islamic Sharia law is not based on equality, on the contrary it is about the supremacy of Muslims over the non-Muslim dhimmis.
Also, the central aspect of Islam is clearly about Mohammed and not God. Muslims follow what Mohammed did and not what God ordained and for non-Muslims this appears that Muslims have a “duality” because God appears to come a poor second to Mohammed. (Christian Post via RoP)
Dana and American Power posted this disgusting episode from the Ground Zero Mosque supporter’s rally yesterday in New York City. The speaker at 3:56 in the tape blames the “Jewish Zionist Israel” for the mosque controversy and current political climate. When the cameraman calls the speaker a racist the crowd attacks him and starts chanting “bigots go home.”
What does it take to bring the Obama fraud crashing down?
“Obama is harming America, affirmatively!”
Conservative columnist and author David Limbaugh was on with Sean Hannity tonight to discuss his latest book Crimes Against Liberty which was released on Monday and is already #2#1 on Amazon.
David Limbaugh: I really believe the nation is at a turning point, we either go full blown towards socialism, Marxism, or we turn back and restore our founding principles. This upcoming election in November will tell the tale and I wanted to write this book to do my part to explore Obama’s agenda and how destructive it’s been to America
I always felt that, we knew who he [Obama] was, who he hung around with, he was extreme liberal he had the record, he masqueraded as someone who was bi-partisan…He go into office and he quickly proved who he was, the hyper extremist liberal that we all thought he was”
David Limbaugh ends the interview with a great statement: “Folks, don’t underestimate his capacity for mischief because you think he’s a nice guy, he’s harming America
David says that Obama is running the nation into the ground and is the most destructive president in our nation’s history. Limbaugh also says the next election will be a turning point for our country on whether America will turn toward socialism-Marxism or go back to a democracy. He also says Obama has no respect for the US Constitution.
Agreed.
Building Mosques on Sacred Sites of Defeated Enemies a Symbol of Conquest
Bin Laden and his Islamists would love nothing better to plant the flag of Islam in the cultural capital of the West. This would not be read in the Muslim world as a sign of the West’s tolerance, but of its weakness. In its long history of conquest, Islam has habitually converted the scared shrines of its enemies into mosques and madrasas. A cursory look at the world’s most famous mosques lays bare the fact that many were former houses of worships of defeated enemies. Â (Gabriel Scheinmann/Hudson NY)
WoJ reader Steiner nailed it the other day when he posted this:
There is a tendency for people to say that because we dont want to be like Saudi Arabia, then we must allow the mosque to be built…
The message is that because we are democratic, then we must be true to respecting religious freedoms and allow mosques to continue being built.
Saudi Arabia is undemocratic and wont allow non-Muslim religious buildings to be built.
The shallowness of the statement is recognized when we ask why Saudi Arabia does not allow non-muslim places of worship to be built. Consequently, the reason is because they are islamic!
Hence, if we dont want to be like Saudi Arabia, it’s high time that we stop mosques being built because Islam does not tolerate non-muslim places of worship. To continue to allow more mosques is tantamount to being like Saudi Arabia!
To every rule there is an exception. Our democracies cannot survive with a growing Islam in our midst. Hence, the exception…no more mosques…otherwise we will become like..you guessed it: Saudi Arabia!
He certainly was. And there is no proof that he ever became a Christian, except for him lying about it.
The “church” of  the racist hate-preacher Jeremiah Wright was no Christian church either, but very much connected to Louis Farraklan and the Nation of Islam…
“I think Americans need to pay more attention and spend more time listening to the teachings of Islam, instead of getting their opinions on our religion from movies,” – sure thing. For a start, Hollyweird could start depicting Islam for what it really is. And for what it destroyed over the last 14 centuries…….
CBS News’ Bob Schieffer decries the internet as the “only news delivery system that doesn’t have an editor” and discusses the “nuts, perverts and those who are simply looking to validate their prejudices” who get their news from the web.
There are -still- creatures who get tingles all over when it comes to the anointed one, and Bobby is literally pissing all over himself with this one…..
The most informed and understandably passionate critics of Sharia-supremacist Imam Feisal Rauf’s proposed Ground Zero mosque are men and women such as FDNY Rescue’s Tim Brown, and 9 /11 Families for a Safe and Strong America, Debra Burlingame. Motivated by the profound personal losses they experienced as a result of the cataclysmic acts of jihad terrorism on 9/11, Brown and Burlingame have studied all aspects of Rauf’s efforts to build his triumphal mosque with unparalleled tenacity and intelligence.
Burlingame and Brown have steadfastly maintained that a central aim of Feisal Rauf and his coterie in building their Islamic edifice is to cynically re-write history, altering “the narrative about 9/11,” by contending the 19 jihadist airplane hijackers “were not Muslims.” At first glance, one would assume that Rauf and his coterie are speaking in metaphorical terms, arguing that the jihadist hijackers were somehow “hijacking Islam,” thereby “forfeiting” their claim to be Muslims. Although this disingenuous argument is concerning, and raises obvious, grave questions about Rauf as an ostensible champion of sincere, mea culpa-based interfaith “dialogue,” there is an alternative much darker “narrative” that the ecumenical imam may wish to promote.
…In the UK more than 50 per cent of British Pakistanis marry their cousins – in Bradford that figure is 75 per cent – and across the country the practice is on the rise and also common among East African, Middle-Eastern and Bangladeshi communities.
Some told us they face extreme pressure to marry in this way. One young woman, ‘Zara’, said when she was 16 she was emotionally blackmailed by her husband’s family in Pakistan who threatened suicide over loss of honour should she refuse to marry her cousin.
She relented and lives in a deeply unhappy marriage. But others told me of the great benefits of first cousin marriage – love, support and understanding. To them, questioning it is an attack on the community or, worse, Islam.
Anyone checking the figures in the U.S.? Australia? Europe?
WASHINGTON: Inside the Pentagon 9/11 Memorial Chapel, a female air force sergeant unlaced her combat boots, set them under the pews and slipped her black veil around her hair and over her camouflaged uniform.
The men pushed back the altar for Christian services to make room for their large, green prayer rugs; then moved the podium from one side of the room to the other so that the congregation would be facing Mecca.
”Allahu Akbar,” called out Ali Mohammed, a contractor who works at the Pentagon, raising his hands to his face as he chanted the call to prayer. ”Allahu Akbar.”
While politicians in an election year may be debating the propriety of building a Muslim centre, including a mosque, two blocks from the World Trade Centre site in New York, there’s no such debate at the Pentagon.
Instead, about 400 worshippers, including Muslims, attend prayer services every week in the chapel, a non-denominational facility built over the rubble left when American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the Pentagon.
A Gainesville church plans to go ahead with the burning of the Muslim holy book on Sept. 11, despite threats of bombings and the lack of a permit.
According to the Wall Street Journal, Terry Jones, pastor at the Dove World Outreach Center will call for Sept. 11 to be an “International Burn a Koran Day.”
However, the Gainesville fire department has denied a permit for the event.
One jihadist website vowed to conduct suicide bombings in Florida to avenge the Koran burning, while others predicted an increase in terrorist recruits as a result of such actions.
“By Allah, the wars are heated and you Americans are the ones who…enflamed it,” says one such posting. “By Allah you will be the first to taste its flames.”
Jones said the radical threats confirmed his views of Muslims. “I can understand that they would be offended. I think their reactions–violence, threats, murders terrorist attacks–that only reveals the true nature of Islam which needs to be revealed,” he said.

The number of cases of female genital mutilation (FGM) reported in London has risen and some procedures are taking place in the city, a doctor has said.
Dr Comfort Momah, who runs a clinic in Guy’s and St Thomas’ Hospital, said she sees 350 women and children a year.
The Met said it was aware that FGM was taking place in London and had intervened in 122 cases since 2008, including 25 times this year.
But it said that as it was a “taboo” subject there had been no prosecutions.
FGM is illegal in the UK and anybody convicted for it can be jailed for up to 14 years. The law protects British citizens even if they undergo the procedure abroad.
Dr Momah, who runs one of the 11 African Well Women Clinics in London, said a majority of the cases she saw were from African countries, including Somalia, Eritrea, Gambia, Nigeria and Sierra Leone.
‘Need to prosecute’
She said: “In London FGM is widely spread and in my clinic we see about 350 women and children with FGM related problems every year and do reversal in about 100 cases every year.
“We do have people calling me or calling other clinics saying I know a circumciser in Leytonstone, I know a doctor who is performing it within the community, but they won’t give you the information.”
She added that more cases are being reported since 2005.
