As recorded in an interview with the late Oriana Fallaci, by one George Gurley, that was published in the New York Observer on 27 January 2003: just under eleven years ago.

But before I quote that conversation, I think it proper to include part of the opening portion of that interview:

“On a recent afternoon, the telephone rang in Oriana Fallaci’s Manhattan townhouse.  The tiny, blue-eyed 72 year old writer put down her cigarette and picked up the receiver.  “Oh, it is you!” she said. She assured the caller that she was all right, then thanked him and hung up.  “He calls to see if I’m alive,” she said…’

Umarov

 Jihad leader Doku Umarov said that Muslims should “use maximum force on the path of Allah to disrupt this Satanic dancing” – by which Patrick Swayze-evoking locution he referred to the Games. The Russians, he said, “plan to hold the Olympics on the bones of our ancestors, on the bones of many, many dead Muslims buried on the territory of our land on the Black Sea, and we Mujahedeen are obliged not to permit that — using any methods allowed us by the almighty Allah.”

Russian authorities say they have detained five members of a “banned international terrorist organisation” in the restive North Caucasus region.

Hamas-linked CAIR top dogs Nihad Awad and Corey Saylor, its new “Director, Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia”

Hamas-linked CAIR is conducting a survey:

Ending Islamophobia: Can you spare 5 minutes to answer a question?

CAIR is asking for your opinion on how to end Islamophobia. Please help us by spending a few minutes answering one survey question. Click here to go to the survey: Ending Islamophobia Question #1.

Hamas-linked CAIR doesn’t really want to end “Islamophobia” at all. “Islamophobia” is its bread and butter. The organization even has a new “Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia,” directed by Corey Saylor, who has already begun attempting to harass and intimidate pro-freedom groups. Hamas-linked CAIR wants and needs “Islamophobia,” because its entire modus operandi is to portray Muslims as victims, unjustly discriminated against and singled out in counter-terror efforts, as a means to bring an end to those counter-terror efforts and allow jihadists to work unopposed and unimpeded. Victimhood is Hamas-linked CAIR’s path to money, power, and influence: it is the single organization that has the most to gain from any acts that can be characterized, however unfairly, as “Islamophobic.”

If Corey Saylor, Director of the Department to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia, and the rest of the thugs at Hamas-linked CAIR really want to end “Islamophobia,” here is how they can accomplish it. They can call upon Muslim individuals and groups to:

1. Focus their indignation on Muslims committing violent acts in the name of Islam, not on non-Muslims reporting on those acts.
2. Renounce definitively, sincerely, honestly, and in deeds, not just in comforting words, not just “terrorism,” but any intention to replace Western constitutions (or the constitutions of any non-Muslim state) with Sharia even by peaceful means. In line with this, clarify what is meant by their condemnations of the killing of innocent people by stating unequivocally that non-Muslim civilians, including Israelis, are innocent people, teaching accordingly in mosques and Islamic schools, and behaving in accord with these new teachings.
3. Teach, again sincerely and honestly, in transparent and verifiable ways in mosques and Islamic schools, the imperative of Muslims coexisting peacefully as equals with non-Muslims on an indefinite basis, and act accordingly.
4. Begin comprehensive international programs in mosques all over the world to teach sincerely against the ideas of violent jihad and Islamic supremacism.
5. Actively and honestly work with Western law enforcement officials to identify and apprehend jihadists within Western Muslim communities.

If Muslims did those five things, voila! “Islamophobia” would vanish! But then Nihad Awad, Ibrahim Hooper and Corey Saylor, to say nothing of sinister supremacists such as Hussam Ayloush, would have to find gainful employ. It ain’t gonna happen.

Just another day in Gaza. (from the Elder)

This is an Islamic Jihad rally to denounce any possible peace deal – because any deal would allow Israel to still exist, which is against Palestinian Arab principles.

Dr. Mohammed al-Hindi, a member of Islamic Jihad’s “political wing,” spoke and led the crowd in both marching and in the obligatory stepping on an Israeli and American flags.

Beheaded Bodies of 50 Syrian Citizens Found in Aleppo After Obama-Backed Jihadists Withdraw from Area

Where are the Congressional hearings on Obama’s support of these savages? The silence of the media is bloodcurdling. Obama wanted to wage military strikes on behalf of these jihadists. But the leader from behind had no one in front of him, so he moved on to his next debacle…..taking down Israel.

San Francisco Vehicle Jihad

Muslim arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter for killing six-year-old girl and seriously injuring her mother in collision

Aqab Hussain used his car as a “lethal weapon.” And according to MyFoxDetroit in 2011, Saddam Mohsin, who was charged with attempted murder in a hit and run, “rammed the officer intentionally.” Then there was New York City cabdriver Mohammed Azam, who ran over two of his passengers for no apparent reason. Another cabbie, Hassan Daly, who was described as a “devout Muslim,” plowed his cab into a crowd on a sidewalk in San Diego, injuring over 24 people. Mohammed Reza Taheri-Azar explicitly grounded his hit-and-run in the teachings of the Qur’an. Munir Muthana told the police who arrested him that “the Muslims will fix this country.”Omeed Aziz Popal, we were told, was suffering from stress from an arranged marriage. Ismail Yassin Mohamed, we were informed, was mentally ill, suffered from depression, and hadn’t being taking his medication. And Muhammad Teshale, according to “law enforcement officials,” “did it to be famous.”
