Islamists Challenge The Constitution

Did you guys go read that Message From a Time Traveler yet?  If so, then you’ll know that it’s a little eerie that I came across this information today while doing related research.  It fits just a little too snugly with the scenario in that story.

Muslims have been taking huge steps to challenge our Constitution, in efforts at self-governance.  After the facts are laid out, it is important to read the conclusion below.  We’ve said here before that Islam is anathema to democracy.  In fact, that’s my biggest worry about Iraq - that as a people, they are inherently incapable of living democratically!  There is plenty of evidence to confirm that fear.  But don’t take my word for it, the Muslims come right out and say it for themselves.

Islam’s 20-year Plan For America

Note: Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin is an online, subscription intelligence news service from the creator of WorldNetDaily.com – a journalist who has been developing sources around the world for the last 25 years.

A refugee from the Muslim Middle East thinks he has discovered Islam’s 20-point plan for conquering the United States by 2020 – a plan revealed in the latest issue of Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.

Anis Shorrosh, author of ”Islam Revealed” and ”The True Furqan,” is a Christian Arab-American who emigrated from Arab-controlled Jerusalem in January 1967.

”The following is my analysis of Islamic invasion of America, the agenda of Islamists and visible methods to take over America by the year 2020,” Shorrosh says. ”Will Americans continue to sleep through this invasion as they did when we were attacked on 9/11?”

Islam Revealed

1. Terminate America’s freedom of speech by replacing it with statewide and nationwide hate-crime bills.

2. Wage a war of words using black leaders like Louis Farrakhan, Rev. Jesse Jackson and other visible religious personalities who promote Islam as the religion of African-Americans while insisting Christianity is for whites only. What they fail to tell African-Americans is that it was Arab Muslims who captured them and sold them as slaves. In fact, the Arabic word for black and slave is the same, ”Abed.”

3. Engage the American public in dialogues, discussions, debates in colleges, universities, public libraries, radio, TV, churches and mosques on the virtues of Islam. Proclaim how it is historically another religion like Judaism and Christianity with the same monotheistic faith.

4. Nominate Muslim sympathizers to political office to bring about favorable legislation toward Islam and support potential sympathizers by block voting.

5. Take control of as much of Hollywood, the press, TV, radio and the Internet as possible by buying the related corporations or a controlling stock.

6. Yield to the fear of the imminent shut-off of the lifeblood of America – black gold. America’s economy depends on oil and 41 percent of it comes from the Middle East.

7. Yell ”foul, out-of-context, personal interpretation, hate crime, Zionist, un- American, inaccurate interpretation of the Quran” anytime Islam is criticized or the Quran is analyzed in the public arena.

8. Encourage Muslims to penetrate the White House, specifically with Islamists who can articulate a marvelous and peaceful picture of Islam. Acquire government positions and get membership in local school boards. Train Muslims as medical doctors to dominate the medical field, research and pharmaceutical companies. (Ever notice how numerous Muslim doctors in America are, when their countries need them more desperately than America?) Take over the computer industry. Establish Middle Eastern restaurants throughout the U.S. to connect planners of Islamization in a discreet way.

9. Accelerate Islamic demographic growth via:

* Massive immigration (100,000 annually since 1961).

* Use no birth control whatsoever – every baby of Muslim parents is automatically a Muslim and cannot choose another religion later.

* Muslim men must marry American women and Islamize them (10,000 annually). Then divorce them and remarry every five years – since one can’t legally marry four at one time. This is a legal solution in America.

* Convert angry, alienated black inmates and turn them into militants (so far 2,000 released inmates have joined al-Qaida worldwide). Only a few ‘’sleeper cells” have been captured in Afghanistan and on American soil.

10. Reading, writing, arithmetic and research through the American educational system, mosques and student centers (now 1,500) should be sprinkled with dislike of Jews, evangelical Christians and democracy. There are currently 300 exclusively Muslim schools in the U.S. which teach loyalty to the Quran, not the U.S. Constitution. In January of 2002, Saudi Arabia’s Embassy in Washington mailed 4,500 packets of the Quran and videos promoting Islam to America’s high schools – free of charge. Saudi Arabia would not allow the U.S. to reciprocate.

11. Provide very sizeable monetary Muslim grants to colleges and universities in America to establish ”Centers for Islamic studies” with Muslim directors to promote Islam in higher-education institutions.

12. Let the entire world know through propaganda, speeches, seminars, local and national media that terrorists have hijacked Islam, when in truth, Islam hijacked the terrorists.

13. Appeal to the historically compassionate and sensitive Americans for sympathy and tolerance towards Muslims in America who are portrayed as mainly immigrants from oppressed countries.

14. Nullify America’s sense of security by manipulating the intelligence community with misinformation. Periodically terrorize Americans with reports of impending attacks on bridges, tunnels, water supplies, airports, apartment buildings and malls.

15. Form riots and demonstrations in the prison system demanding Islamic Sharia as the way of life, not America’s justice system.

16. Open numerous charities throughout the U.S., but use the funds to support Islamic terrorism with American dollars.

17. Raise interest in Islam on America’s campuses by insisting freshman take at least one course on Islam.

18. Unify the numerous Muslim lobbies in Washington, mosques, Islamic student centers, educational organizations, magazines and papers by Internet and an annual convention to coordinate plans, propagate the faith and engender news in the media.

19. Send intimidating messages and messengers to the outspoken individuals who are critical of Islam and seek to eliminate them by hook or crook.

20. Applaud Muslims as loyal citizens of the U.S. by spotlighting their voting record as the highest percentage of all minority and ethic groups in America.

Shorrosh is a member of the Oxford Society of Scholars, has traveled in 76 countries, and is a lecturer and producer of TV documentaries. ”Islam Revealed” is a bestseller now in its eighth printing. His forthcoming 10th book, from which the 20-point plan is abridged, is titled ”Islam: A Threat or a Challenge.”

”The True Furqan” is also available for viewing on Islam-Exposed.org. Shorrosh’s new website is Focusing-on-Islam.com.

“Blessings for whoever has saved a bullet in order to stick it in a Jew’s head”

From Jihad Watch:

MEMRI has published extracts from sermons in Palestinian mosques over the last three years. Anyone wanting real answers to hoary questions such as Why Do They Hate Us? and How Do They See Us? should read this material carefully.

Says compiler Steven Stalinsky: “Each Khatib (preacher) is a paid employee of the Palestinian Authority (PA). The sermons are broadcast live every Friday at noon from mosques under control of the PA and are shown on PA television.” He lists the sermons’ common themes, including “calls for the destruction of the U.S., the perceived American Crusader war against Islam, honoring Shahids and the rewards of the martyrs, educating children to martyrdom, and antisemitism, including calls for the killing of Jews.”

Nike: Lips Permamently Affixed To Muslim Ass

Kudos to Kender for digging out this story. This happy little story of dhimmitude happened while we were all still sound asleep:

November 21, 1998–Nike and the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] completed an agreement last week, officially resolving a problem that began in April 1997 when CAIR objected to a shoe with a design on the heel similar to the Arabic word for “God” or “Allah.”

As part of the final agreement, Nike is building three playgrounds for Islamic communities in the United States, said Roy Agostino, communications manager for Nike. CAIR will decide where the playgrounds will be, Agostino said.
[...]
In June last year, Nike apologized to Muslims for any unintentional offense, agreed to recall all products carrying the design, introduced training for Nike designers in Islamic imagery and agreed to investigate how the design came about.

After the recall, other issues remained, such as the shoes’ appearance in some markets outside the United States.

“I think this agreement we signed with Nike a few days ago puts this whole issue to an end. And we hope that Nike will be now aware of the sensitive market that they have and the global issue that pertains with the shoes,” said Nihad Awad, executive director of CAIR.

Sensitive market indeed! And we thought only ice cream was evil!

By the way, check out the date on the above news article. Talk about boiling the frog, eh?

A Western Manifesto

In response to the cultural jihad of Islam, Colonel Bunny at the Intergalactic Source of Truth has written a Western Manifesto. I am reproducing it here (with permission), because I want it to gain widespread attention. Also, since I agree one hundred percent with all 20 points of this Manifesto, I’d like for it to have a permanent home on our website. If you also agree with this Manifesto, please visit IGST and leave a comment for Colonel Bunny saying as much.

Colonel Bunny’s explantion for the Manifesto echoes much of what I have stated and re-stated this past week to our muslim commenters, who claim that Islam is moderate:

I’d like to be more conciliatory toward the much sought after but rarely encountered “moderate” Muslims. Undoubtedly they are there but they are for all intents and purposes hors de combat [disablement due to physical or mental injury] and of no use whatsoever in the battle with Islamic terror and aggression.

When moderates are more in evidence, then they will be entitled to greater respect. For now, they should not expect Westerners to fall over themselves wondering if they are there or not, or whether they will be hurt by having the tamer more worthy concepts of Islam lumped in with the objectionable ones.

My version, as spoken to a Muslim, is this:

… the day that peace-loving and tolerant Muslims have more influence over their people than the war-hungry imams…and when the tolerant Muslims perform more good deeds in the world than the destruction of the jihadists…and when peaceful Muslims loudly, publicly, and vigorously denounce Hamas, Palestinian violence, Iran, Syria, al Qaeda, and terrorism…and when they CUT OFF the financial support of terrorism and throw the radical imams and mullahs out of the mosques…and when you foreswear your bloody koran-commanded war against the Jews…and when you strenuously deny that islam is NOT meant to dominate the world at the point of a sword… and when no more innocent people die in the name of allah…THEN I’ll believe [Islam is "moderate"]. Sound fair?

It is not up to the rest of the world to accept islam in SPITE of the fact that insane muslims are tearing the planet apart. It is not up to us to police you people. Nor is it up to us to moderate you. That is YOUR culture, YOUR religion, and YOUR responsibility. Until those rare peace-loving Muslims gain control - then no one has to believe that you are peaceful. Until islam does MORE GOOD than harm on the planet, then we don’t have to accept it or like it.

So, as you can see, the Colonel and I have quite a bit in common. Without further ado…

Christians Beaten To Death By Muslims Over Cartoons

The Christian Association of Nigeria issued a public statement in support of Muslims and decrying the ‘unecessary provocation’ of the mohammed cartoons.

From the BBC, Nigeria’s Christians back Muslims:

An umbrella Nigerian Christian body based in the majority Muslim north has condemned the publication of cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad.
[...]
Rev Joseph John Hayep, the secretary general of the Christian Association of Nigeria, said the publication was totally uncalled for at a time when the world was looking for unity.

But such reasonableness and solidairity must mean nothing to muslims. Yesterday, they violently attacked Christians, in the name of allah:

Nigerian Muslims protesting caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad attacked Christians and burned churches on Saturday, killing at least 15 people in the deadliest confrontation yet in the whirlwind of Muslim anger over the drawings.

It was the first major protest to erupt over the issue in Africa’s most populous nation. An Associated Press reporter saw mobs of Muslim protesters swarm through the city center with machetes, sticks and iron rods. One group threw a tire around a man, poured gas on him and set him ablaze.
[...]
Thousands of rioters burned 15 churches in Maiduguri in a three-hour rampage before troops and police reinforcements restored order, Nigerian police spokesman Haz Iwendi said. Iwendi said security forces arrested dozens of people in the city about 1,000 miles northeast of the capital, Lagos.

Chima Ezeoke, a Christian Maiduguri resident, said protesters attacked and looted shops owned by minority Christians, most of them with origins in the country’s south.

“Most of the dead were Christians beaten to death on the streets by the rioters,” Ezeoke said. Witnesses said three children and a priest were among those killed.

*sigh* I honestly don’t know what can be said about this that we haven’t already said, or that isn’t painfully obvious by the news articles I excerpted above. But just in case you don’t ‘get it’, Michelle Malkin has a heartbreaking summary of muslim violence against Christians. Though the country is majority Christian, Nigeria recently joined the Organization of Islamic Countries thus defacto declaring itself a Muslim oriented state.

As sharia law spreads through Nigeria, it nullifies the human rights guaranteed by their Constitution:

Sharia law has long been part of Nigeria’s family law. However, since late 1999 several northern states have instituted Sharia as a part of the penal system. This would allow for floggings, amputations, and beheadings for certain crimes. Though Muslims claim these laws would not apply to Christians, there is evidence that Christians have already been effected.

Non-muslim women are being stoned, Christian families murdered, churches are being burned, demolished, or forcibly closed, and worse. This is life under muslim sharia law. This is what ‘moderate’ muslims don’t want you to know:

The Talibanization of Nigeria is based on research in several countries and a fact-finding mission to Nigeria, led by Dr. Marshall who interviewed religious leaders, government officials, human rights activists, and victims of religious discrimination throughout Nigeria.

The report warns that if left unchecked, sharia’s further spread could provoke widespread inter-religious conflict, and transform Nigeria, Africa’s largest nation, into a center of radical Islamism, linked to foreign radical groups and governments. Currently, 12 of Nigeria’s 36 states have adopted or intend to adopt sharia.

“The enforcement of extreme sharia violates all human rights, especially religious freedom, and destabilizes this already fragile country,” said Dr. Marshall. The report proposes policy recommendations to the U.S. and Nigerian governments to prevent this pivotal African nation from sliding into lawlessness and terror, like Afghanistan under the Taliban.

Many of Nigeria’s Muslim and non-Muslim citizens face barbaric treatment from Hizbah (religious enforcers). Hizbah vigilantes mete out harsh, on-the-spot, extra-legal punishments for such “un-Islamic” activities as violating dress codes and questioning Islamic teachings. Women caught riding alone in taxis are subject to physical abuse by the Hizbah.
[...]
As the following examples show, Nigeria’s new sharia undermines basic human rights:

Sharia is imposed on all Muslims even if they want to be tried in a constitutionally mandated court, thus subverting Nigeria’s democratic order;

Sharia legitimizes the killing of Muslims who exercise their right to change their religion;

Sharia results in corporal punishment or death sentences for women for alleged sexual crimes, whereas men are invariably not punished;

Non-Muslims are barred from being judges, prosecutors, and lawyers in the sharia courts to which they can be subject, thus making them second-class citizens.

Muslim sharia laws are anathema to human rights - in fact, they are an abomination , an abuse - of basic human rights, civil liberties, justice, and decency. Why any people would deliberately accept such a twisted and sick rule of law is beyond comprehension. To voluntarily choose to subject your nation, and thus your family, to life under constant terror is vile, evil, and mentally disturbed.

What about all of this do the dhimmis not understand?!

Lock And Load

Muslims are testing the waters for good ‘ole Mohammed Cartoon protests right here in America. And I thought we’d skate by without such an annoyance.

New York got a taste of Cartoon Jihad yesterday when 1,000 Mulsims protested at the Danish embassy in New York City. I don’t know how New Yorkers took it, but I, for one, don’t take too kindly to the idea that the flag of Islam will ever fly over our White House.

Malkin will also be covering a protest in Washington D.C. today sponsored by a coalition of Muslim groups and the New Black Panther Party. She suggests that “the Danish cartoons are just a convenient pretext for their hate-filled agenda.” I don’t doubt it when you look at their rhetoric - nasty stuff. I’ve also heard that Free Republic plans to be there to counter-protest. I’ll keep you posted.

It’s all fun and games, mohammedans, until someone gets hurt. So you guys wanna rock?

Then let’s roll.

Turks Stone A Female Journalist

Because she provoked Muslims during a Mohammed Cartoon protest in Konya, Turkey.

How?

Her hair wasn’t covered! And she wasn’t “sitting right” while the koran was read. Wow. Unforgivable sins.

An Islamic group is filing charges on her for “disturbing the peace” - during a freakin’ riot, mind you!

So what was all that about Turks trying to go “moderate” on islam? Hmmm…?

Hypocritical Muslim Outrage

Flight 93 Memorial - Ignoring the Islamic Symbolism

Please read Error Theory’s thorough and cogent explanation of HOW the Flight 93 Memorial is a travesty. At the end of his post, he lists a number of email addresses, and a helpful suggested letter for poeple to register their disagreement with the Memorial as planned. I urge you all to take a few minutes to send an email.

I already wrote my letter this morning, using excerpts from Alec’s suggested letter, but making it a bit more strongly worded (you know me!). I’ve received read receipts from both Joanne Hanley and Jeff Reinbold this morning, so I know they’ve gotten my letter already. You guys now need to send yours.

Below are:

1. My letter
2. Alec’s suggested letter
3. All the email contacts

Sent: Thu 2/16/2006 9:40 AM
Subject: You Must Do Your Job - You Have a Sacred Trust To Uphold

Dear Secretary Norton and Chairman Reynolds:

The original “Crescent of Embrace” design for the Flight 93 memorial contained many unacceptable features. If you are unaware of the Islamic symbolism inherent in the design, then you are woefully uninformed. To deliberately remain uniformed, as opposed to investigating the possibility, is irresponsible and highly offensive to American citizens who pay you and expect you to DO YOUR JOB. Doing your job does NOT entail ignoring very persuasive evidence that you are heading in the wrong direction. A mistake of this magnitude, as viewed by posterity, will be unforgivable. Especially considering you have the evidence at your very fingertips. (Full report available here.)

Besides the fact that the redesign of the Crescent, now carrying the silly name “Bowl of Embrace”, did nothing to change the inherently Islamic characteristics, the name itself is absurd. Again, history will not be kind to such insipid silliness. You should be embarrassed by something called the “Bowl of Embrace”. It’s just absurd and undignified.

The Memorial Project itself was oblivious to crescent, star and minaret symbolism, but the American people set off the alarm. In response, it was incumbent upon the Memorial Project to take the concern about Islamic symbolism seriously, but you failed. Instead of investigating the warnings you had received about the Mecca-orientation of Murdoch’s crescent, all you did was tell the offending architect to try his infinitesimally altered plan again, which is exactly what he has done. That is unacceptable.

Please step up and exercise some oversight NOW. The project must be put on hold until all the evidence of Islamic and jihadist intent has been properly investigated. A half-mile wide Mecca-oriented crescent does not happen by accident. The repetition of this Mecca orientation in the crescents of trees surrounding the Tower of Voices minaret cannot be coincidence. A geometrically perfect Islamic flag does not appear on its own. Post 9/11, we cannot afford not to connect these dots. So far the Memorial Project has refused to even look at them.

Sincerely,

Heidi X

Possible letter to send to Norton et al, by Alec Rawls:

Dear Secretary Norton and Chairman Reynolds:

The original “Crescent of Embrace” design for the Flight 93 memorial contained many unacceptable features. Most obviously, it’s half-mile wide crescent was oriented within two degrees of Mecca. A crescent that people face into to face Mecca is called a mihrab and is the central feature around which every mosque is built. The second main feature of the design was another typical mosque feature: a minaret-like Tower of Voices, formed in the shape of an extruded crescent. A minaret is a literal “tower of voices” from which Islamic prayer-times are called. This tower was surrounded by crescents of trees turned exactly 90° to the giant red maple crescent, so that a line across the tips of the Tower crescents replicated the orientation of the giant crescent exactly, again within two degrees of Mecca, proving that neither orientation was accidental. (Full report available here.)

In addition to Islamic elements, the original Crescent of Embrace also included what seem to be terrorist memorializing elements. There was a copse of trees, placed in the location of the star on an Islamic crescent and star flag. The graphics released of the design were startling, showing a naked Islamic flag planted atop the crash site. There are also 44 dedicatory glass blocks installed along the flight, exceeding the number of our murdered heroes by the number of their murderers.

These and many other highly disturbing features all remain completely unchanged in the Bowl-of-Embrace redesign announced in late November. The only change that was made anywhere in the entire design was the addition of a few trees along the upper portion of the circle that the crescent partly inscribes. But the upper crescent tip in the original Crescent-of-Embrace design was defined by the termination of the towering masonry walls of the Entry Portal structure. Since the upper crescent tip was not defined by trees, adding a few trees does not affect the crescent tip, leaving Murdoch’s original Mecca-oriented crescent fully intact.

Murdoch was caught by gate security the first time he tried to plant his gigantic Mecca-oriented Islamic flag on the crash site. The Memorial Project itself was oblivious to crescent, star and minaret, but the American people set off the alarm. In response, it was incumbent upon the Memorial Project to take the concern about Islamic symbolism seriously, but this did not happen. Instead of investigating the warnings it had received about the Mecca-orientation of Murdoch’s crescent, all the Memorial Project did was tell him to go back outside and see if he could get past gate security on the second attempt, which is exactly what he has done. The hijacked memorial is now in the air, and Murdoch is getting perilously close to smashing his terrorist memorial mosque into the crash site where our heroes died fighting.

Please step up and exercise some oversight NOW. The project must be put on hold until all the evidence of Islamic and jihadist intent has been properly investigated. A half-mile wide Mecca-oriented crescent does not happen by accident. The repetition of this Mecca orientation in the crescents of trees surrounding the Tower of Voices minaret cannot be coincidence. A geometrically perfect Islamic flag does not appear on its own. Post 9/11, we cannot afford not to connect these dots. So far the Memorial Project has refused to even look at them.

Blogger Smacked Down for Reprinting THE Cartoons

A blogger who posted the Jyllands-Posten Mohommed cartoons on his website has had his images forcibly removed by Photobucket.

A British blogger named Mark put up the images on his site, A New Dark Age is Dawning , and hosted them at Photobucket, who removed the images from their servers and replaced Mark’s pictures with a notice saying that the images violated their Terms of Service.

It’d be interesting to see if Photobucket would remove an image that demeaned Jews. If anyone sees an ‘offensive’ photo on Photobucket, let me know. I’d love to tackle that.

In related news, the co-chair of Stand For Israel says that he’s spoken with highranking Israeli officials, and they are “more worried about a nuclear Iran than about any other threat, including the new Hamas government in the Palestinian territories.” That says something. Of course, it’s not like anyone besides the US cares what Israel thinks anyway, right?

Bottom line: If the cartoons have shown us anything, it’s that our liberties to free speech and free expression are not carved in stone. They can be taken away at any time—not just by those who would come and claim them in blood, but by simply saying to the two magic words in American English:

I’m offended.

By the way, have you bought anything Danish today? Go do that.

UPDATE by Heidi: The link to the above blogger has been redirected. I can’t even find the original story anymore about the Photobucket and Tigerpic problems. And when I tired to contact the blogger, I got this message:

A Kind Of “Hurtfulness”

Canada may as well fold up their flag. Our fickle neighbors to the north have gone off the deep-end of dhimmitude - and are drowning.

The publisher of a Calgary-based magazine is defending his decision to reprint eight cartoon depictions of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad today….

Western Standard publisher Ezra Levant called the caricatures “innocuous,” and said he’s “ashamed” that more Canadian media outlets, including CTV, have chosen not to run them….

On CTV Newsnet, Levant said although Islam forbids depictions of its Prophet, “I don’t follow Muslim law, I follow Queen Elizabeth’s law.

“I don’t follow the Koran, I follow the Canadian Constitution and there are two key parts to the Canadian constitution I’m relying on: one is freedom of expression and the other is cultural diversity (enshrined in) the Constitution.”

But, hey! *stomp foot* That kind of freedom just isn’t nice:

…Mohamed Elmasry, leader of the Canadian Islamic Congress, warned on Sunday that his organization will seek to have charges laid against Levant’s publication under Canada’s hate laws.

And Tarek Fatah, of the Muslim Canadian Congress, called Levant’s decision to publish “totally unnecessary and provocative.”
[...]
Fatah said he believes newspapers have a democratic right to publish the cartoons, but said doing so would only add to the pain felt by Muslims around the world.

Well, when you’re done crying about it, give Bill Clinton a call - he’ll feel your pain.

So, now that Canada’s off the deep end… what to do, what to do? On the one hand you’ve got freedom of the press, and on the other, you’ve got a bunch of whiny boo-hooing Muslims. [Wahhhhhh, you hurt our feelings!!!] Now, this is why Canada is drowning:
