U.S. Attorney General Holder to address Hamas-linked CAIR despite FBI ban

These linked articles (below) serve up more than most Americans are prepared to digest.

Still, we urge you to make yourself aware of what we are getting from the Obamanation administration. Our future depends on it.

Thanks to POLITICO and Jihad Watch. 

Read this letter to Arizona Sen. Jon Kyl from Holder’s own Justice Department regarding the FBI’s decision to suspend formal association with CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations).

Dawud Walid, the executive director of CAIR’s Michigan chapter where Holder will speak, said, “A lot of people are there…the NAACP, the ACLU, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee…the National Lawyers’ Guild.”

The old adage, “You are known by the company you keep,” applies.

Terrorism: Let’s call it by its rightful name

Lt. Gen. Robert Cone, Fort Hood’s top commander has obviously gotten the word from on high. He’s calling for “counseling  and healing,” in the wake of the terrorist attack on the base last week by a Muslim extremist and base psychiatrist, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who fired more than 100 rounds Thursday, killing 14 people including a pregnant woman and her unborn baby. Twenty-nine people were wounded in the carnage and 15 soldiers remain hospitalized, with eight in intensive care.

Cone bizarrely announced the military base is launching a comprehensive program to help soldiers and civilians with “whatever difficulties they may be facing,” and went on to say, “we’re going to take a very hard look at ourselves” and consider whether the post needs new security and psychological assessment measures that could have prevented the attack.

Psychological assessments and “hard looks at ourselves?” 

What would have prevented the attack was less political correctness when Hasan engaged in anti-American rants, consorted with other known Muslim extremists and action on the part of authorities after they became aware of numerous emails he sent attempting to contact people associated with Al Qaeda and did nothing.

Although we are now being told the massacre was “not terrorism,” the reality is that Hasan’s attack at Ft. Hood was indeed an act of Islamic terrorism. He justified his actions based on his interpretation of Islam. At the onset of his attack Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar!”  — God is great!

Yet he began getting press sympathy almost immediately as the MSM began discussing his “post-traumatic stress disorder,” although he had never been deployed to a war-zone. The words “Muslim” and “terrorism” are nearly obliterated from coverage. Months ago, Homeland Insecurity Chieftain, Janet Napolitano had no trouble issuing a disreputable report accusing our returning service personnel of presenting potential threats, but excised the word “terrorism” from usage in her capacity as an Obama cabinet member.

The Washington Post, however, links to the power point presentation Hasan used during a presentation to senior Army doctors in June 2007. Instead of the medical topic scheduled, he lectured on Islam, suicide bombers and prophetically discussed threats the military might encounter from Muslims conflicted about fighting wars in Muslim countries.

President Barack Hussein Obama and his wife Michelle are scheduled to attend today’s memorial service. Former President and onetime Texas Gov. George W. Bush and his wife Laura have already been to the base to personally offer condolences.

Terrorism, the sequence of forgiveness and political correctness imperiling Americans

The Metaphysical Peregrine has a copy of a Dennis Prager column titled The Sin of Forgiveness, which ran a number of years ago in the Wall Street Journal.

It is a relevant read given that Col. Frank Jackson, the garrison chaplain at Fort Hood military base where a murderous rampage took the lives of 13 young military personnel and wounded 29 others, asked mourners to pray for the perpetrator, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan and his family — “as they find themselves in a position that no person ever desires to be — to try and explain the unexplainable.”

The believer’s rush to automatically forgive those who have committed a sin against others raises moral questions. Only the one sinned against can appropriately forgive, just as our benevolent Heavenly Father forgives those who repent for their sins.

“Lord, all those around us search for motive, search for meaning, search for something, someone to blame. That is so frustrating,” Jackson preached to a group of mourners gathered at the First Cavalry Memorial Chapel. “Today, we pause to hear from you. So Lord, as we pray together, we focus on things we know.”

Hasan worshipped and reportedly held his mother’s funeral at the same mosque attended by two of the 9/11 terrorists, where a radical imam preached jihad. Now FOX News reports that U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that Hasan was attempting to contact people associated with Al Qaeda.

We recommend the Washington Times excellent editorial: Too scared to recognize terrorism concludes that Ignoring facts isn’t sensitive; it is suicidal.

Finally, someone speaks some sense. We’re certainly not getting it from Janet Napolitano, Army chief of staff General George Casey Jr. or Barack Hussein Obama.

Watch as these American Muslims praise the bloody carnage of American soldiers.

Criminals “wearing crosses” haven’t committed many mass murders lately

The Fort Myers Florida News Press runs an article describing a local Islamic Center’s request for additional police patrols, although there have been no threats against the center. This action follows the carnage at the Fort Hood Army base in Texas perpetrated by a Muslim extremist — in which 13 military personnel were murdered and 30 wounded.

Alibaba Lumumba, president of the center, said anytime there is a crime committed by a Muslim, the whole Muslim community suffers.

“But when there is a Christian who commits a crime, we don’t get into his religion or whether he wears a cross or not,” Lumumba said. “It’s a lack of knowledge about what Islam is and what it is not. Such acts of violence, especially if there were women, children or elderly who were hurt, are not condoned by Islam.”

No word from Lumumba condemning the jihad attack.

Also, note that the Islamic Center for Peace’s website disparages respected Phoenix physician and devout Muslim Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser saying he uses “half truths and twisted semantics” in discussing Islam. “We will critically analyze his opinions, arguments and discuss his use of intellectual aggression and fear to promote hatred towards everyone who opposes his views.”

Maine joins 31 other states in rejecting same-sex “marriage”

Voters in Maine repealed a state law yesterday that would have allowed same-sex couples to marry, dealing the gay rights movement a defeat in New England, the area of the country most supportive of homosexual issues.

Same-sex “marriage” has now lost in every single state in which it has been put to a popular vote. Gay-rights activists had hoped to buck that trend in Maine — known for its independent-minded electorate — and mounted an energetic, well-financed campaign.

But the people of Maine have obviously had enough and joined the 31 other states where the issue has lost when put to a popular vote of the people.

The supporters of protecting  traditional marriage can cheer another victory!

Religion of Peace claims “Westernized” victim

Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, accused of intentionally running over his daughter, Noor Almaleki, and Amal Edan Khalaf, 43, her boyfriend’s mother — because he thought his daughter brought shame to the family by becoming “too Westernized” — has now been jailed in her death.

Prosecutors are calling the October 20^th attack of the 20-year-old woman an “honor killing.”

The family is Iraqi and practices the Muslim faith.

Obama funding Muslim technology up to $150 million

The White House has highlighted a new multi-million-dollar technology fund for Muslim nations, following a pledge made by President Obama in his unprecedented speech to the Islamic world at Cairo University last June. Obama argued that “education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century” and that under-investment was rife in many Muslim nations.

The White House said the US Overseas Private Investment Company (OPIC)  had issued a call for proposals for the fund, which will provide financing of between 25 and 150 million dollars for selected projects and funds.

The Global Technology and Innovation Fund will “catalyze and facilitate private sector investments” throughout Asia, the Middle East and Africa, the White House said in a statement. OPIC said sample projects could help foster the development of new computer technology or telecommunications businesses, or widen access to broadband Internet services.

In addition to the fund, Obama also said he will host a summit on entrepreneurship this year to deepen ties between business leaders in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.

In his speech on June 4, Obama vowed to forge a “new beginning” for Islam and America, promising to purge years of “suspicion and discord.”

We couldn’t make this stuff up.

The deafening silence: Where is the response to this evil?

We’ve read accounts of the Iraqi father living in Glendale, Arizona, who intentionally ran down his “westernized” daughter and her friend. What we haven’t heard is outrage from the American Islamic community. The silence is nearly as intolerable as the atrocities, since the calm appears to condone the contemptible behavior.

Family and friends of the victims told detectives that Faleh Hassan Almaleki, 48, had made threats toward his daughter because she was not living according to traditional Iraqi values.

The two women were transported to a Valley trauma center where Almaleki’s daughter, Noor Faleh Almaleki, 20, was reported to have life-threatening injuries. Amal Edan Khalaf, 43, suffered injuries that were not as severe.

Honor killings are commonplace in Islamic countries and have now been imported to the United States and other Western nations. Islam is the major religion in Iraq, practiced by an estimated 97 percent of the country’s citizens.

This site, the Middle East Quarterly, tells the horrible stories, providing facts and figures relating to these brutal crimes.

Knowledge is power

We’ve previously written about the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).

Arizona’s own local authority on the subject, Phoenix physician, Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser, president of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy, has been forthright when discussing the group‘s ties to terrorists. Last year, the FBI made the decision to sever communications with CAIR, stating the group is “not an appropriate liaison partner” for the FBI because of evidence linking the organization and its founders to Hamas.

WorldNetDaily carries this informative report titled CAIR’s inner workings exposed, by Daniel Pipes, director of the Middle East Forum and Taube distinguished visiting fellow at the Hoover Institution of Stanford. 

The world is changing and in these turbulent times information is crucial. We urge you to take the time to Pipes’ article.

Illegal immigration: Partnering with God to harm GOP?

Michael Gerson’s column Immigration and Political Suicide is so far off the mark, that it should probably be ignored.  However, there are some points that beg for clarification. Gerson contends that Hispanics, made to feel unwelcome in the Republican party, voted overwhelmingly for Obama. This faulty logic cannot go unanswered.

It was Republican presidential candidate John McCain, after all, who was the leading voice on what was euphemistically called Comprehensive Immigration Reform, but was actually nothing more than an amnesty plan for millions of illegals and a welcome mat for millions more. He pandered to the racist La Raza, a group that partners with the radical MEChA, whose slogan is: “Por la Raza todo. Fuera de La Raza nada,” which translates to “For the race, everything. Outside of the race, nothing.” Their founding manifesto rejects the very notion of respect for U.S. borders — “We do not recognize capricious frontiers on the bronze continent [the United States]”  — and vow to repel the “brutal ‘gringo’ invasion of our territories.”

Add to the mix McCain’s campaign Hispanic Outreach Director, Juan Hernandez who declared “we are not countries, merely regions.”

In making his fallacious case Gerson contends “non-college-educated whites are declining as a portion of the electorate,” implying that only undereducated rednecks oppose illegal immigration.

Is Gerson aware of the proliferation of Reconquista studies programs being taught in the Tucson Unified School District? Even the most educated Arizonans find them intolerable.

He asserts “Catholics and evangelicals, who have been central to the Republican coalition, cannot ultimately accept a message of resentment against foreigners. Their faith will not allow it.”

He attempts to bolster that argument with this absurdity:  “In considering illegal immigration, many talk appropriately about the rule of law. But there is also the imago dei — the shared image of God — that does not permit individual worth and dignity to be sorted by national origin.”

Mr. Gerson: it is not “resentment against foreigners,” that drives this issue. America was founded by newcomers and immigrants to this country who become proud, assimilated, Americans, enriching the nation. You are intentionally confusing legal immigration with unlawful entry of illegals who care not a whit for our national borders or laws and who compound their initial acts with more criminality once they have entered the United States.

Gerson, who studied theology and worked within prison ministries, also complains that making it illegal for priests, ministers and volunteers to “assist” illegal immigrants criminalizes “a religious duty.”

He is currently a senior research fellow in the misguided Center on Faith & International Affairs at the Institute for Global Engagement.

This might help you understand the problem, Mr. Gerson.
