CAIR-Endorsed Pro-Terrorist Screening Canceled

Tue, Apr 15, 2008 at 11:23:25 am PDT

The fundraiser event for jailed Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami Al-Arian, organized by the UC Irvine Muslim Student Union and promoted by the Council on American Islamic Relations, has been called off by theater management: Al-Arian Screening Canceled.

Starplex Cinemas has no ties or relations with the organization that rented the theater to do a film screening. The intent and content of the film was not disclosed. We have no political affilication and have canceled the screening.

We thank the community for bringing this to our attention.

For any questions or comments, please contact Kristen Wheaton at Starplex Cinemas.

Jonathan Constantine of Red County’s Campus Watch has more:

In a phone call with Wheaton later this morning, she explained that the decision was made because of the highly politicized nature of the screening, and the lack of disclosure by two female representatives from the Muslim Student Union concerning the content of the event. More specifically, according to a representative from Woodbridge 5, they described the screening as a “student film,” despite the involvement of outside political organizations like CAIR.

I speak peace when peace is spoken, But I speak war when your hate is provoking, The season is open 24-7-365, Man up yo time to ride, No need to hide behind slogans of deceit, Claiming that you're a religion of peace, We just don't believe you, We can clearly see through, The madness that you're feeding your people, Jihad the cry of your unholy war, Using the willing, the weak and poor, From birth drowning in propaganda, rhetoric and slander, All we can say is damn ya

My forefathers fought and died for this here
I'm stronger than your war of fear
Are we clear?
If you step in my hood
It's understood
It's open season

don't need a faith that's blind, Where death and hate bring me peace of mind, With views that are stuck deep in the seventh century, So much sand in your eyes to blind to see, The venom that you leaders preach, Is the path to your own destruction, Your own demise, You might say that I don't understand but your disgust for me is what I realize, Surprise!
Your homicidal ways has got the whole world watching, Whole world scoping, So if you bring it to my home base, Best believe it, The season's open

I see you, Hell yeah I see you, Motherfucker naw, I don't wanna be you, If you come to my place, I'll drop more than just some bass, Yo you'll get a taste of a, Sick motherfucker from the Dirty, I ain't worrying not a fucking bit, I'm telescoping like Hubble, Yo you in trouble, Yo on the double, I'm wild with mine, Bring that style with mine, Fuck with my family I'll end your life, Just the way it is, Just the way it be, Do you understand? No matter if you're woman or man, or child, My profile is crazy, That shit you do doesn't amaze me, I'm ready to blaze thee

I don't give a damn what god you claim, I've seen the innocent that you've slain, On my streets you're just fair game, Like a pig walk to your slaughter, The heat here is so much hotter, And my views won't teeter totter or fluctuate, Step to me you just met your fate, And I'll annihilate, With the skill of a Shogun assassin, Slicing and dicing precise with a passion, In any shape form or fashion, Bring it to my home, Welcome to the danger zone, Cause your attitude's the reason, The triggers keep squeezing, The hunt is on and it's open season

Many college campuses have very strict rules about the fundraising activities that campus facilities can be used for. This particular one likely would have gotten the campus in huge trouble for providing material support to terrorism.

It's private property- they don't have to rent out their theater. Also- claim they've backed out due to being misled as to the nature of the screening gives them a perfect excuse. cair or the students can try to sue, but the irony is they would need to switch the fund raising for legal costs from al-arian to themselves.

Ah, but when Stalin asked "How many divisions has the Pope?", the answer would have been the same as today.....which is to say none.
What a pity Stalin did not live to see John Paul II watch as the Soviet Union crumbled into dust!

Yes, but in this case all thanks are due to "Pope Ronnie", and he did have a few division behind!

One million hunters and 250,000 NRA members makes for a heap of bitterness here.

I was thinking that this is an idea that Ben Stein needs to learn as well.

It's different in a state-funded school, since everyone gets to pay for whatever is "taught". Private school? No argument.

It's not like the current Congress has high approval numbers. It's as though everyone is so focused on the White House, we forget we could take back Capitol Hill too....if we tried, anyways.

re: #59 Killgore Trout Why a private meeting for them? Why are they so special? Still whining about the Easter baptism too I see. Screw 'em then. The Pope does not come to them when summoned. It's as though they are saying "Well, if he can't kiss our ass, then we don't want to meet with him". Boo frigging hoo.

You really think it would be a good idea for the Vatican to have it's own supply of ICBM's? I find that as repugnant as the thought of the mullahs in Iran having them.
Let the Pope provide spiritual guidance to the masses, where his qualifications lay, and leave killing, when necessary to our military.


I certainly wouldn't endorse the idea of him commanding troops but the Vatican has become philosophically pacifist. They will condemn any and all military action. I anxiously awaiting his speech about abuse of power.

Right next door in NJ, the laws are totally different. A guy I know went to NJ to buy a car, got stopped for a car license problem. He had an unloaded shotgun in his trunk with the Plug in it.
He had no record before this, was arrested and now has to go back to NJ for a hearing.

The Politicians rounded up all the hombres I guess.

I've been to the Starplex theater. Nice place...and they only charge $1.50 USD for a movie. $1.00 USD on Tuesday nights. How do they do it?

They are a family business and they own the building and the property.

...they then pass those savings onto their customers.

The reason that they were able to cancel so easily is that it is a family owned-run business.

They don't have to take guff (or lies) from anyone.

Nice people, too.

Kids are sweet people, as well.

Think I'll congratulate them for this decision the next time I see them.

Did you hear Obama saying yesterday that he didn't have time to meet the pope (he saind he sent him a note), but he spoke to the Dalai Lama? The reporter wanted to know what the DL said (natch!), but didn't ask what Obama wrote to the pope.

Iraq has just taken a huge step towards a pluralistic democratic future,

Peshmerga to be incorporated into security system

Baghdad, Apr 14, (VOI) – A Kurdish legislator revealed at the Iraqi parliament on Monday that the Iraqi Kurdistan Region's talks with the central government in Baghdad resulted in an agreement to incorporate the peshmerga, or the local Kurdish fighters, into Iraq's security system.

But don't expect the MSM to pick up on this story.

"They will condemn any and all military action." Yup, that's a given.
In all the wars through all the years, decades, centuries, millennium they have only declared one war to be a "just war" in their assessment. Free bottle of your favorite wine if you can guess it without googlin'.

OK, so the Leo DeCaprio "film" is at Wallyworld for $5...kudos to Leo for the obvious (to me, anyway) lack of a profit motive.

But wouldn't it have been much more eco-friendly to not make so many DVDs (oil-based) in plastic boxes (oil-based) and shipped them to so many stores (oil-based)?

It's so difficult to remain Algorically pure.

Then you need to learn the concept too. Your free speech does not guarantee that people have to listen to you. If your job involves the study of biology you don't have a constitutional right to refuse to study biology. The debate involves many things but free speech isn't one of them.
