No, Professor Ahmed, the Founders Were Not So Fond of Islam
While doing the MSM circuit this week, American University professor Akbar Ahmed told some whoppers about Adams, Jefferson, and Franklin.(Pajamas Media/Lauren Rubenfeld)
I would suggest that Akbar Ahmed’s university status be investigated. A ‘professor in Islamic studies’ is a totally worthless degree in our world, especially when its used by Islamo-propagandists like AA Â to influence unsuspecting university students.No, we must not allow him and his ilk to pull the Islamic wool over the eyes and ears of naive politicians and the clueless media stooges who are only too eager to misinform…….
Akbar Ahmed, the chair of Islamic studies at American University, has advised many government officials, including General Petraeus, Richard Holbrooke, and George W. Bush. He speaks regularly on BBC and CNN, and has appeared on many U.S. shows, including Oprah and Nightline.
To oppose the “burn the Quran” event planned by Pastor Terry Jones, Ahmed wrote an editorial for CNN in which he stated:
Not only are the actions of Jones contrary to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, but they are also against the ideals of the American Founding Fathers.
…
The Founding Fathers read and honored the same Quran that Jones is now seeking to burn.
…
[John Adams, America’s second president] showed the utmost respect for Islam, naming the Prophet Mohammed as one of the greatest truth seekers in history.
These statements are utterly opposed by the facts.
“If you want to go back to sleep instead of attending your integration course, then you’ll not merely have to get out of bed, you’ll have to get out of the country.”
Pray that Wilders gets elected Prime Minister of the Netherlands.
RNW Dutch Labour leader Job Cohen and anti-Islam Freedom Party (PVV) leader Geert Wilders clashed today in parliament during a debate on integration legislation for new immigrants.
Mr Wilders claimed Mr Cohen’s Labour Party does nothing to tackle immigrants who show a “half-hearted attitude” towards the mandatory integration course. Mr Cohen said deportation of immigrants who don’t fully participate in the course should be a last resort and that the current system of fining those who fail to attend the courses should be given a chance first.

Wilders praises Merkel  for conflicting remarks about multiculturalism. Merkel  “Not amused”
Chancellor Angela Merkel on Wednesday rebuffed praise from Dutch far-right leader Geert Wilders that her Christian Democratic Union (CDU) has taken “the lead in the domain of Islam criticism” in Germany.
WILDERS PRAISES MERKEL AS “ISLAM CRITIC”–AND MERKEL’S SPOKESMAN DENIES SHE IS ONE
Well, well, what is one to say about this?
Two things. First, before extolling Chancellor Merkel as an Islam critic, Wilders should have read VFR, where it was clearly established that her thrillingly negative remarks about Islam’s place in Germany were utterly meaningless, since they were contradicted by the exact opposite remarks which she also made. Had Wilders taken in the fact that Merkel herself is no Islam critic, he would have avoided the demurrer by the German government spokesman.
Second, while Merkel’s remarks were meaningless in themselves, they nevertheless were deeply significant as a symptom of a general shift in European thinking about Islam. And for this reason Wilders was absolutely right to cheer Merkel’s statement.  (View from the Right)
“I find it funny that 35% of the Democrats in the country believe that 9/11 was an inside job, and yet we’re supposed to be outraged that 20% of Americans think Obama’s a Muslim.”
Islamic preacher Anwar al-Awlaki has compiled a long list, that shows Muslims how they can support the jihad. If you scroll through the list, you will see that Muslims do not have to be violent to take part in the jihad. Number 30 is particularly disturbing, but not surprising.
He is particularly concerned that the kiddies get properly indoctriated with love for jihad and the Mujahideen…. (which sounds eerily familiar to Australias ‘sheik’ Feiz Mohammed who urges children to die for Allah…..)
All the signs are pointing in the same direction: for years, the soldiers of Allah have been sharpening the knives to cut the throats of the  Christian minority, Egypts original inhabitants. The constant attacks are all but ignored by the Western lame stream media, who carry water for Mohammedanism just like Al Jizz:
What better subterfuge than to accuse your enemy of what you yourself have engaged in for years? As far back as 1976, Coptic Pope Shenouda III noted that “there is a practice to convert Coptic girls to embrace Islam and marry them under terror to Muslim husbands.” Our own archives are full of seven years’ worth of stories of kidnappings of Coptic girls and women. Here’s one. And another. And another. And still another, where Muslims tried to claim the conversion of a priest’s wife.
Muslims dousing a Christian Copt with petrol and burning him alive. The Western media snoozes…..
But the accusations of Christian abductions of Muslims — intentional projections that they are of Egyptian Muslims’ behavior — are part of a new campaign of libel to incite and justify violence against this non-Muslim population whose presence predates the Islamic conquest of Egypt, and so rudely insists on continuing to exist. And we know which side Al-Jazeera is on.
“Egyptian Muslims accuse Christians of complicity with Israel,” from Spero News, October 26 via Jihad Watch:
Nothing to do with Islam, can’t blame all Muslims for a few bad apples, all religions have violent texts, Islam is a religion of peace and if you disagree 1.5 gazillion mad muslims will go apeshit and come to kill you:

Not all Nazis sprinkled cyanide into the gas chambers. Â Not all Muslims plant bombs.
Yet they all, individually and collectively, support and aquiesce to murderous ideologies of supremacism, and so share a common guilt. Terrorism is an integral part of Islam, and any Muslim who denies it is quite simply lying.
What all the obfuscators and islamic apologists refuse to address is that the millions of jihadis all quote the same book, the same chapters, the same verses, the non-abrogated (later, more violent) chapters of the qur’an… Â Terrorism is intrinsic to Islam!
The above quote is attributed to Britain’s former Minister of Justice, Jack  Straw, who also famously stated “The English as a race are not worth saving!” – truly astounding  that  Britons  put up with such dreck in a suit.

Another lawsuit proceeds according to the principle that American businesses must change the way they operate in order to accommodate Muslims, rather than that Muslims must adapt to American society, laws, and mores.
It seems wildly unlikely that any Israeli (or American) soldiers would do this, given the tendency for Muslims to react to such incidents, whether real or imagined, with irrational violence. And remember: in this conflict, one side wants to stir up that irrational violence and start a new intifada, and one side wants to maintain peace. Which side, then, is more likely to have barbecued these Qur’ans? “Israeli troops blamed for Korans burned during arrest raid,” from AFP, October 25
Miserable, eh? That’s why Western-born Muslims are leaving home and flocking to Islamic countries in droves, arriving by plane, train, and boat to find a better life and take advantage of generous social welfare systems — no, wait…

The disturbing question: how many in the same area sympathize with the Khadrs? This is what the cocky war criminal will come home to after a paltry 8-year sentence for killing a Special Forces medic with a grenade. And his folks must be so proud.

Reversal of fortune. The Shiites are now in charge and  the Shiite-led government is bent on revenge.
Aziz was on trial in a long-running case in which he is accused of being part of a campaign of persecuting, killing and torturing members of the Shiite opposition and the banned religious parties, like the Shiite Dawa Party, of which Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is a member.
BAGHDAD – The international face of Saddam Hussein’s regime, Tariq Aziz, was sentenced to death by hanging Tuesday for persecuting Shiites just over three months after the Americans transferred him to Iraqi government custody.
His Jordan-based lawyer, Badee Izzat Aref, accused the government of orchestrating the verdict to divert attention from recent revelations about prisoner abuse by Iraqi security forces contained in U.S. military documents released last week by the whistleblower site WikiLeaks.
“We are discussing this issue and what next step we should take,” Aref told The Associated Press in Amman, the Jordanian capital. “This sentence is not fair and it is politically motivated.” (AP has more)

Israel “not civilized” for Tutu
Johannesburg (AP) – Retired Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu, who earned a Nobel for his peaceful opposition to apartheid, is urging the Cape Town Opera troupe not to tour Israel until discrimination there ends.
He says it would be “unconscionable” to perform “Porgy and Bess,” which he says has a “universal message of nondiscrimination.” Â Tutu charges that by bringing international artists to perform, the Tel Aviv Opera House “advances Israel’s fallacious claim to being a ‘civilized democracy.'” (CNS)
And then there’s this…
Obama told far left Latinos to go out there and “punish” your enemies.
“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us,’ if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election, then I think it’s gonna be harder and that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2.”
Unreal. Obama doesn’t even talk about radical Islamists that way.

NYC Muslim discovers religion, wants to  join army to wage jihad against US troops (JW)
They want halal food, and they don’t want to be taught about the Holocaust.

Although other religions are mentioned ~ you can almost feel the red luring the bull toward Islam. It is not any religion we should respect ~ its Islam. Obama doesn’t go to the Sikh Temple ~ who cares.
Americans might have less negative views if they knew, for example, that Islam is compatible with Western values and democracy, that it teaches peace, and that Muslim Americans have been part of this country since before we were a nation. (More)

Rabbi Nachum Shifren, the “surfing rabbi” from California: “you want multiculturalism? Go to Sowdi Barbaria!”

A Jewish speaker, a crowd composed of all cultures, Â including Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Christians, a crowd of mixed colour and race, and yet the media STILL brand the EDL as racist.

EDL THREATEN TO “CLOSE YOUR TOWNS” OVER XMAS BANS
“We don’t care if you call us racists” EDL leader Stephen Lennon
A FAR-RIGHT group of English patriots has vowed to “close down” any town that ditches British traditions and shows favouritism to Muslims.
The English Defence League said it has written to every council in the country threatening a mass invasion if they ban the word “Christmas”. It includes using the term “winter festival” in case Christmas upsets Muslims.
EDL leader Stephen Lennon said “working class people” in the UK were “at boiling point” over what he says is the “Islamisation of Britain.”(More)
The English Defence League (EDL) rallied outside the Israeli embassy with Orthodox Rabbi Nachum Shifren from L.A. The hope is that a connection will be forged between the EDL and the Tea Party in America. London, United Kingdom, 24/10/2010.
The English Defence League has a reputation as a “racist” organization. It matters not a whit to the media oligarchs that Islam is not a race. It makes no difference that the EDL has numerous non-white members who cherish English culture. In the MSM and among the chattering classes, the meme is set, and cannot be changed.

Here’s a quick takedown of the media lies the craven British press create and fabricate out of whole cloth to smear and destroy those standing in defense of freedom, namely the EDL. (Atlas Shrugs)
See how the media fights for jihad and subjugation. It is astounding, time and again — a dog returning to his own vomit. I strongly support that these tools and would-be slaves be given their wish. They should live under the sharia as dhimmis under Islamic law. But why must they insist that free men live that way, too? They are choosing slavery over freedom. We are not. One world under a universal caliphate, that is what the media is fighting for. We will not.
Despite the relentless character asassination and mass media defamation and lies, (check out today’s front page) I say to the EDL,  d-o n-o-t b-a-c-k d-o-w-n. Yours is a just and noble cause. Carry on and hold yourself to a higher standard than these parasites and statists.
