Court blocks Oklahoma anti-Sharia law at behest of Hamas-linked CAIR

Bad news. I mean this is really bad. What kind of judge would make such a judgement?

Lets take a closer look: Judge Vicki Miles-LaGrange the first African American woman to be sworn in as U.S. attorney for the Western District of Oklahoma. She was also the first African American female elected to the Oklahoma Senate.  Miles-LaGrange was nominated by President William J. Clinton

A native of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Miles-LaGrange, received a certificate from the University of Ghana in Accra, Ghana, West Africa in 1973, and graduated cum laude from Vassar College in 1974. She then received her J.D. from Howard University in Washington, DC in 1977. There, she was an editor of The Howard Law Journal. […]

Court blocks Oklahoma anti-Sharia law at behest of Hamas-linked CAIR

“The people…have ceased to be their own rulers” — Abraham Lincoln

Hamas-linked CAIR is thumping its chest at this victory over the popular will, and says: “CAIR says the ballot measure would infringe on the constitutional rights of ordinary Oklahomans — including the right to wear religious head scarves in driver’s license photographs, choose Islamic marriage contracts, implement Islamic wills, or to be buried according to one’s religious beliefs.”

But in this CAIR is, yet again, lying. The Oklahoma law forbids lawmakers from legislating for Oklahomans as a whole using Sharia rather than American law. It does not forbid private individuals from getting married or writing wills in any way they wish.

Ground Zero Mosque: the propagandists are drowning in their own snake oil

The architect of the Ground Zero victory mosque  defends the project in the Guardian (for Muslims) Judging by the comments, there are few buyers. In a totally derailed moonbat rag like the Grunard that should be telling us something…

Park51’s white lattice ‘exoskeleton’ is inspired by the elaborately patterned mashrabiyas of Islamic architecture (that’s also BS: in reality its the architectural renderings of the tumbling Stars of David here).

Ashura: Islamic fanatics are mutilating themselves at a British mosque

Cultural enrichment: its that time of year again!

ISLAMIC fanatics are mutilating themselves at a British mosque in a bloody ceremony carried out only yards from a busy high street.

Express UK

“Like Them or Hate Them, Europe Has To Learn To Live With Its Muslims… Europe’s Past Is Catching Up With Its Present And Future”

What?

Meanwhile, back in Bagdhad, the show goes on as usual:

Click on image to enlarge!

Shia Muslims use a five-bladed chain called a Zanjeer to whip their own backs and make cuts in their foreheads with razor blades in homage to their faith.   Bare-chested men were left bleeding heavily during the ritual known as Matam – self-flagellation – which a witness described as being “like a scene from a horror film”.

The Sunday Express found that up to 800 men performed the bloody ceremony in secret at the Imamia Mosque in Forest Gate, east London, last year.

The Matam takes place during the annual Shia Ashura ceremony and commemorates the death of Husayn, a grandson of the prophet Muhammad. It is practised largely in Pakistan, Iran, Iraq and India as well as Yemen and Afghanistan but this is the first time it is known to have taken place in Britain.

Huge wooden screens were put up around the mosque to keep the event secret and prevent passers-by on busy Romford Road seeing the bloodletting.

The Sunday Express visited the mosque last week and learned that the ceremony took place last December and is due to be repeated next month. One man who witnessed the ceremony last year was so alarmed by what he saw he nearly passed out. He said: “There was blood everywhere. There were pools of blood on the ground and my clothes were splattered with blood. It was very scary.

Other news:

“I was told it was part of a religious ceremony but the anti-western sentiment was clear. If the public had seen what was going on they would have reported it to the police. It was like a scene from a horror film.”

A devout member of the mosque who attended last year’s ceremony said he was proud of the thick Matam scars across his back and showed them to our photographer. Ameer Hamza, 21, a student from Forest Gate said: “I started doing it when I was a kid. ”

Scotland Yard said it was aware of the annual Ashura event at the mosque but had no knowledge of the bloodletting which it said it had no power to ban.

A spokesman said: “If it is on private property and no offence is being committed this is not a matter for the police. The Ashura is an annual community event which has taken place in Newham for many years.”

Newham Council said it had no know-ledge of the Matam taking place and the Ministry of Justice said self-flagellation was not an offence.

To Shiite Muslims, this is the holy month of Muharram, when they honor the death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Mohammed in a battle fought at Karbala in the 7th century. The height of this month is the celebration of Ashura, which was marked worldwide on Thursday.

Happy Ashura, you bloody maniacs….

"Mr Obama, why is Pakistan not considered a terrorist state?"

Most intelligent POTUS of all time answers:  “Pakistan is an enormous country…”

The toxic PC-creeps from AP have their knickers in a twist over this one. Note how they pull every possible excuse out of a hat in order to obscure and twist the issues:

TOUGH QUESTIONS: INDIAN STUDENT ASKS OBAMA WHY PAKISTAN IS NOT CONSIDERED A ‘TERRORIST STATE’

NEW DELHI (AP) — President Barack Hussein Obama heralded the relationship between the United States and India as a “defining partnership” of the 21st century Monday during a grand ceremony marking his visit to the world’s largest democracy.

Obama’s limousine was escorted to Rashtrapati Bhavan, the palatial residence of India’s president, by guards on horseback. Obama greeted Indian dignitaries, then stood with his hand on his heart as the U.S. national anthem was played.

That’s a new one. Usually he holds on to his crotch….

The Joy of Killing

The battle cry of the Companions of Mohammed that night was “Kill! Kill! Kill!”

*** Tabari 8:141 ***

“I myself take joy in the kill itself,” Elmuradi said. “It’s a tradition. … Nobody’s going to stop you from doing something you believe in.”…

He said this in connection with sacrificing a lamb, but kuffar may be pardoned for having a Juan-Williams-like reaction to statements like that from Muslims. In any case, here is a Muslims-are-victims story designed to compel Ontario to revise its livestock slaughtering laws to accommodate Muslims. Once again, the accommodation is always one way and one way only. “Lamb sacrifice fines worry Ottawa Muslims,” from CBC News, November 6 (thanks to JW):

Some Muslims in Canada’s capital region are worried that they may be fined for sacrificing lambs during November’s Eid al-Adha celebrations.

Aussie Report, part 3

Willary Clitman had a nice lunch in Melbourne, and fun too:

“Climate Change, the greatest challenge of our time..”

Ms Clinton, in a bright peach pantsuit, and Ms Gillard, wearing power black, turned heads when they later strolled along the banks of the Yarra River flanked by a large security detail.

By early afternoon, the pair was inspecting Australia’s greenest building, where they announced a joint research initiative to bring down the cost of solar power.

“We just had a wonderful lunch and, speaking for myself, I’m still relishing the break in the schedule and having fun in Melbourne,” Ms Clinton told reporters at the announcement.

The former first lady said no single country could address the challenges of climate change alone and she could not imagine a better partner than Australia for building a “green, clean and prosperous future”. (Courier Mail)

Born here, but not Australian

Multiculturalism and high immigration is succeeding in dividing us into a nation of tribes, and all that the mulculturalists can now say is “don’t panic”:

ABDUL SKAF loves the beach, camping and the Canterbury Bulldogs, and he wants to be a police officer…But like many young people from immigrant backgrounds he finds it hard to call himself Australian…

“If someone asks me my nationality, I’m Lebanese,” he said…

A study of 339 young people aged 14 to 17 who live in Sydney’s west and south-west suburbs found only one-third of them called themselves Australian even though two-thirds were born here.   (Andrew Bolt)

Iranian schools to encourage “culture of martyrdom”

The decision was announced by the head of the Basij paramilitary group and was taken in concert with the Ministry of Education which announces ten thousand Quran schools. The Basij also want more involvement in scholastic formation.

Cannon fodder needed:

Teheran (AsiaNews) - The expansion of the culture of martyrdomis the “decision” of General Mohammad-Reza Naghdi, head of the Basij paramilitary group – which operates under the command of the Revolutionary Guard and has distinguished itself in the violent repression of opposition demonstrations – taken together with the Ministry of Education.

The general added that he was pursuing the goal adding “values of divine defence of the Iranian nation” into the classrooms and books. The “Divine defense” (defae moghadas) is a term coined to refer to the 8-year war Iran had with Iraq for most of the 1980s, when tens of thousands of children and young people, used as the first wave of attacks, lost their lives.

Dead Dog Jihad

The sick Islamic  terrorist plot to bomb a U.S. plane with exploding DOGS Daily Mail (via Atlas)

AL-QAEDA operatives in Iraq tried to unleash deadly terror in the skies by deploying a pair of dogs on a US-bound plane, it has emerged.

The plot failed because the bombs were so badly stitched inside the dogs that they died, according to a report in the respected French daily newspaper Le Figaro.

‘The dogs were discovered in a freight area at Baghdad airport, but because they were dead, they were never loaded aboard the plane.’

A US soldier is seen stroking a stray dog, which have multiplied since the US invasion. In 2008, when the canine bombs were found, Baghdad started to cull dog packs. By 2010 there were over 1m strays and officials sent out sharp shooters to cull them…

Muslims in Mumbai [ Images ] are up in arms against a United States military sniffer dog allegedly with name tag of ‘Khan’ that has landed in the city as part of President Barack Obama [ Images ] security arrangements.

“To name a dog a Muslim name by US security agencies is to deliberately incite the Muslim community. We would be meeting soon and devise a strategy to protest and seek apology from the US,” said Maulana Athar Ali
