I spy taqiyah! Of course Muslims didn't hijack and crash the planes. No Muslim would do such a thing, but Osama is a hero!

I wonder what the results would have been had they included a breakout for non-American Muslims. I suspect it would have been even more skewed in its anti-American bias.

Fits well with this...

.Why would California have a mufti? Sharia governs such minor aspects of Islamic life as the issuance of halal butchers’ licenses, which are comparable to certification of kosher meat by rabbis. Sharia also determines the propriety of certain financial transactions between observant Muslims, and many American and other Western banks, investment houses, and related institutions have sharia consultants for the preparation of business contracts by their Muslim clients.

But California has no sharia courts. California’s Muslim population is about one million, or 3.4 percent of the whole population, which does not justify appointment of a mufti. How then does a major Saudi daily describe Hamza Yusuf Hanson as “mufti of California?”

55 of those who ansered No to Question #12 also answered No to Question #14, which is a clear logical contradiction: Al Qaeda is simultaneously not a real organization run by Muslims, AND is attacking the US because it hates American involvement in the Muslim world.

Online Fatwas Incite Young Muslims to Jihad

In an article in the Saudi daily Al-Riyadh, columnist Fares bin Hazam reports that both preachers in mosques and online propaganda are inciting young Muslims to wage jihad.(1) An interview with a young Muslim who went to fight in Afghanistan, also in Al-Riyadh, provides first-hand testimony confirming this claim.

The following are excerpts from the article and the interview:


Saudi Columnist: Preachers in Mosques Urge Worshipers to Join the Jihad in Iraq and Afghanistan

Bin Hazam writes in his article: "The business with Afghanistan will never end as long as the 'duty of jihad' continues to live in [our] society, in mosques, in Friday [sermons], and on the Internet...

"After the fall of the Taliban and the subsequent Guantanamo crisis... there was increasing talk about the need to investigate our youth's growing [inclination] towards jihad, and about the need to search for the reasons that motivate them to go to Afghanistan and to other countries...

"The call to investigate these reasons is despicable; it is a tasteless joke. [One might think] that the reasons are unknown, that we are not aware of our situation [and need to conduct an] investigation in order to discover why [our young people] went forth and are still going forth [to wage jihad]... The reasons are obvious. Many of us know them, and there is no need for a scientific study or for any other [kind of study] to reveal them...

OT Brainwashing at Temple

Intellectual Indoctrination and Academic Fraud at Temple University
By David Horowitz and Jacob Laksin
FrontPageMagazine.com | October 25, 2006

When the Select Committee on Academic Freedom was created by the Pennsylvania Legislature in 2005, the legislators observed,“Academic freedom is likely to thrive in an environment of intellectual diversity….” Temple University, which is one of the three major public institutions of higher learning in the state, does not include a declaration like this among its academic policies and its academic programs regularly violate the principle.

For instance, Temple provides a “writing-intensive two course sequence” called “Intellectual Heritage” which is required of all Temple students and which includes a focus on Enlightenment, Romantic and Revolutionary Thinkers. The Revolutionary Thinkers include Darwin, Marx and Freud, but not Adam Smith whose revolutionary ideas underpin the society in which Temple students live. Professors involved in the course post guides for students on a department webpage called “Faculty Perspectives on Marx.”1 Most of the faculty guides provided, however, are explications of Marx’s writings without critical comment. In all, there are about 30 sample exam and study questions provided which relate to Marx. Every one, without exception, prompts students to explain what Marx said in the way you would expect students to explain the theories of Isaac Newton, whose hypotheses were confirmed by real world experiments. Since all Marxist experiments have failed one might expect some mention of this fact. But one would be disappointed if one did.

39 Ed Mahmoud abu al Qahool Martyr Brigades  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 7:21:21am

Double Post, but this is more on topic here:


I do believe there are moderate Muslims, such as Bill Bennett's guest this morning, founder of this group, Muslims for Peace, Asra Nomani. She believes about 75% of Muslims in the world reject violent jihad, but are intimidated by the 25%, mainly Wahabbist influenced, who don't.


She worked to end sex segregation at her West Virginia mosque, and chooses not to wear the hijab because she believes it is a symbol of intolerance in Islam.


Of course, the 25% of the Muslims who don't reject violent jihad probably view her as an apostate, (especially since she believes Muslims should reject the violent passages of the Koran) and would kill her if given a chance. And as long as the 75% are afraid to stand up and denounce the 25%, I can't see the perception of Islam as a violent religion changing.

Of course, if one were living in a country like Nazi Germany or the former Soviet Union, the morally correct stance would be you are your religion first and foremost, as duty to God is above duty to country.

But then again, if these people view the US as the morally bankrupt equivalent of Nazi Germany, they should not have moved here in the first place.

So, only 149 think Al Qaeda is real, but 228 think that same organization is "attacking America because Al Qaeda hates American involvement in the Muslim world." That means a large number of these Muslims think Al Qaeda both does not exist and is attacking America.

Yup, real brainpower and clear thinking there...

Al

-Mahdi, The Rider On A White Horse

The Mahdi is believed to ride on a white horse. Whether or not this is symbolic or literal is hard to say. Quite interestingly, this tradition is based on the Muslim interpretation of Christian Scriptures. Despite the fact that Muslims view the Bible as having been changed and corrupted by Jews and Christians, they still claim to believe that some portions of the “original” inspired books are still to be found within the “corrupted” Bible. As such there exists a tradition within Islamic scholarship that seeks to extract those portions of the Bible that Muslims feel may be untainted by the corrupting influence of Jews and Christians. These Judeo-Christian traditions are called by Muslims, isra’iliyyat. One such transmitter of biblical traditions is Muslim scholar Ka’b al-Ahbar. He is viewed among Muslims as a trustworthy transmitter of Hadith as well as isra’iliyyat. 31 Ka’b al-Ahbar is supported in his view that this description of the rider on the white horse as found in the Book of Revelation is indeed the Mahdi by two well known Egyptian authors, Muhammad Ibn ‘Izzat and Muhammad ‘Arif in their book Al Mahdi and the End of Time. ‘Izzat and Arif quote Ka’b al Ahbar as saying:

I find the Mahdi recorded in the books of the Prophets… For instance, the Book of Revelation says: “And I saw and behold a white horse. He that sat on him…went forth conquering and to conquer.” 32

‘Izzat and ‘Arif then go on to say:

It is clear that this man is the Mahdi who will ride the white horse and judge by the Qur’an (with justice) and with whom will be men with marks of prostration on their foreheads [Marks on their foreheads from bowing in prayer with their head to the ground five times daily]. 33

It is said by some that it was for this reason that Saddam Hussein had numerous murals painted all over Baghdad portraying himself as a Muslim Knight on a white horse with sword drawn doing valiant battle against the infidels.

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.

Oscar Madison: How did they walk?

73 wkeller  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 7:42:21am

I placed the following comment of the MFASA board.

I had an issue with a neighbor that bought a Rottweiler and refused to confine it in a kennel or to a chain. At the time, my son was about 4 and loved to play in the yard. And, of course, my neighbor’s Rottweiler had equal access to my yard as well. My primary responsibility of protecting my son not the feelings of my neighbor. I offered him two choices, either confine his Rottweiler or I would kill it. He chose to sell the animal instead.

My point is this, our first obligation as a nation, is to provide for the security and well being of our citizens. If this steps of a few toes or hurts a few feelings, I could care less. Islam is a religion in crisis - and surveys like this do little to show that members of that religion feel the same.

We will be over the hump and “equal” with Muslims when:

The Koran can be soaked in a jar of urine without the “artist” being murdered.

When the Muslim world stands shoulder to shoulder with Israelis declaring Israel’s sovereignty and defending them from all enemies.

When Christian, Muslim, Hindu - all the world’s religions - are welcomed to Saudi Arabia with open arms.

But, for Islam to continue down it’s current road of radicalization will bring the clash of civilizations countries like Iran seem to crave.

There is a dog in our neighborhood - both Christian and Muslim - that needs to be reigned in or killed.

VIDEO EXCLUSIVE :: A Night To Honor Israel

On Sunday, October 22, Pastor John Hagee founder of Christians United For Israel and the Cornerstone Church hosted the 25th annual Night to Honor Israel in San Antonio, Texas. Cornerstone Church was packed to the rafters (5,000+ people) and the pulse of the room was electrifying. Be sure to watch some of the clips from this extremely moving event: Pastor Hagee delivered a stirring speech declaring that Iran and radical Islam had better think twice before attacking Israel and the U.S

A quiz.
Are you an American follower of Islam?
You, all by yourself, and for yourself, may earn an apology from us.
There is a quiz first.

1.Do you now consider yourself an American?
2.Do you put being an American ahead of 'islamic brotherhood'?
3.Do you publicly condemn islamic murderers?
4.Are you willing to take up arms against murdering islamic dogs?

Be 100% honest, if you are able. Any "no" answer is a failure. If you can honestly answer "yes" to all 4 questions, are in good health, and less than 42 years of age, we would like to introduce you to military recruiters we know.

I find thr answers to this question interesting:

21. Should Iran develop nuclear weapons?
YES 161
NO 123
UNDECIDED 23

And I also find it interesting that the majority found none of the listed potential actions by the government to stop terrorism justifiable, meaning these Muslims must want terrorism.

The question we should be positing is how do we un-brainwash these people? How do we rid the world of the perpetrators creating this violence?

Round up 307 Muslims at random, or just stand outside of a Mosque on Friday.

214 go to Saudi Arabia, or any Muslim shithole of their choice.

4 get to stay.

86 get to spend one half of every year in a Muslim shithole of their choice...but must pay their own airfare, unlike group one, which American taxpayers will fund...instead of payments to the U.N.

• Do you believe suicide bombers who kill Jews and other infidels will go to paradise?

You'll find a lot of Christians in America saying this about their Christianity versus their earthly citizenship (myself included).

Me also, but the HUGE, BIG difference is my religion demands I submit to earthly authority, and that earthly authority is given a God-sanctioned sphere of operation. "Render to Caser the things that are Casers."

The huge mistake of the West is to equate Christianity (or any religion to Islam).

Christianity does not demand a Christian ruled government, or imposing Christian beliefs (by force) on anyone. Any sect of Christianity that does so is considered an aberration and even an evil aberration by 99% of other Christians. The point not understood or ignored by many, especially secularists, is who are the founders of these religions?

A river does not rise above its source. In things of religion something cannot exceed its originator or founder. Therefore “true,” Christianity is measured NOT by all its adherents down through the ages, but by the character and actions of its founder. Jesus is the plumb-line to measure all of Christianity. Mohammed is the plumb-line to measure all of Islam. Islam, when true to itself exhibits the character and actions of Mohammed. Anyone that knows any history of Mohammed and converts, stays, is attracted to, or sympathetic to Islam; is at the very best a fool, and at the worst an enemy of humanity, and righteousness. This thing called Islam, IMO is evil.

For all the "It'll never happen here" attitude and "What a bunch of cavemen" comments, the advances of the moos-limbs and their retro-cultural tyranny are stunning and frightening. Self-confidence is one thing, but self-delusion is quite another; the danger to liberty and freedom is moving ever closer and is creeping under our door through the judiciary. We have the information necessary to prevent such a takeover but there is significant evidence to indicate that Western society is at serious risk of permanent damage if not an outright takeover. Look at Britain, Spain, and France and decide if those societies are presently more or less like they were in 1980.

To de-emphasize the enemy and his strength is a step toward defeat. To attempt to win a war by small degrees is another. This present effort to defend against islamic aggression will likely require a large and bloody confrontation--just look at the tactics of the Japanese on Iwo or the North Vietnamese in the late 60's. The tactics of the enemy were very successful in inflicting damage (on Iwo Jima) and in dampning the will of the American public to support the war (Vietnam after Tet). If the communications systems of today had been fractionaly in place during the 1940's, there is no way under the sun that the Allies would have prevailed against our enemy.

This thing is going to get uglier, either by battle or by results. If sharia is to be stopped then more effort has to be made ot reinforce the principles of the American Constituition and the founding documents.

We are at war. Pick a side.

2) Room for weasel words: if we say the men who flew into WTC weren't "true Muslims", then you can answer (eg) Q5 as "no". Personally, I doubt this was behind those "no"s, but it would be worth clarifying.

I think that is what is really bothering me, both from the respondants of this poll and from a few on this thread. The Christian/American or Muslim/American thing is comparing apples and oranges. One does not flow from the other, nor are they on the same list of prioritization. One is religious, and one is, for lack of a better term, political. I am deeply disturbed when I see Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddists, Hindus, or Animists for that matter, throwing their nationality and their religion into the same category. I happen to be nominally Catholic. I also happen to be an American. I can move to the UK (though why I would want to, I couldn't say) and still be as much Catholic as before. Likewise I can become an Atheist, or a Zen Buddist even, and still remain as much American as I was before.

It's kind of like the Jehovah's Witness pamphlet I got the other day. They said, first and foremost, a 'true religion' does not meddle in political matters. But then it goes on to later claim that 'true religion' does not condone same-sex marriage and should stop its government from allowing it.

Re: "12. Is Al Qaeda a real organization, operated by Muslims who are trying to attack America? "

Sorry if someone has already mentioned this .. but keep in mind that whenever a Muslim is observed by infidels doing anything that is "un-Islamic" (in other words, following Islam to a T) this card immediately gets pulled out of the burkah and waved aloft: "Those" people are not 'real' Muslims".

With that in mind, it's not a contradiction.

It's the same when the L3 refers to people as "African-Americans", Cuban-Americans", and so forth. I'm from the United States. I am an American, period. Not "Irish-American" or whatever-American, just American. I hate that hyphen-American bullshit!

Likewise, we have the "Muslim-American" running for Congress in Minnesota. You'll see a "Jewish-American" reference sometimes, but NEVER a "Christian-American" reference. I'm guessing Christians can't BE Americans and Christians simultaneously, according to the L3.

As far as my nationality, I am an American. I am also a Christian. Like you, I could move virtually anywhere in the world and still BE both American and Christian.

Pow Wow, is perhaps the wrong word since the Great Lakes tribes of the Potowatami, under Cheif Waubonsee, and Black Hawk used to gather there for conference among the tribes.

Not unrelated -- many of these Native American people converted to Christianity in the 1700-1800's under the influence of French Catholic Missionaries that were miss-named as "Explorer's" in your kids PC textbooks.

Who were these French Missionaries to the American Native peoples of the Pre-Revolutionary war period ?

They had fascinating names like ... Marquette,
Joliet,

and the Christian Martyr Father Le Beouf.

Hamas Trial opens in Chicago

The Government’s statement opened with Assistant U.S. Attorney Carrie Hamilton retelling of the death of David Boim, an American Jewish teenager who was killed by a HAMAS gunman in a drive-by shooting in the West Bank on May 13, 1996. Hamilton mentioned how HAMAS is a terrorist organization, which brought groans from the overwhelmingly pro-Ashqar/Salah supporters in the overflow courtroom, in which I sat. The government mentioned how Abdelhaleem al-Ashqar, one of the defendants, kept thousands of documents in his home and facilitated supporting HAMAS from the U.S. Hamilton then began talking about the evidence which will be presented to the jury. They (the jury) will learn about HAMAS attacks and the roles that the defendants played in those attacks. Hamilton said that Mohammed Salah recruited and trained HAMAS members in explosives here in the United States. He also traveled to Israel to deliver hundreds of thousands of dollars to HAMAS members. He worked with Mousa Abu Marzook, the current Deputy Head of the Political Bureau of HAMAS, and had direct contact with other HAMAS leaders and high level members. In September 1992, Marzook sent Salah to meet with Salah al-Arouri, a HAMAS member headquartered at Hebron University in the West Bank, to give him $50,000. He also met with now deceased HAMAS activist Adel Ahmed Awadallah who provided Salah with information that was relayed by Salah to Marzook. In January 1993, Salah was sent again to deliver money because of the December 1992 deportation of HAMAS activists to Lebanon by Israel. According to the government, Salah was asked to take over the Military Wing of HAMAS. The purpose of Salah’s trip to Israel this time was again to deliver money and also to find out what else HAMAS needed. While in Israel, Salah met with HAMAS military leaders.

Well technically "Jewish" is an ethnicity. But "Muslim" and "Christian" is not.

If you go to the web site they definately sound 'moderate'. Some of the posts on the site actually quite introspective. Yet if you look further at their statements about the hezbollah-Israeli War its quite distorted. They charge Israel with attacking lebanese civilain targets because Hezbollah kidnapped 2 israeli soldiers. Its the same old distorted de-contexualized view that is so far from the truth that it leaves little hope for any reconcilliation between muslims and israelis. To even the most moderate muslims, it seems, Israel is never justified or sympathetic...

Excellent post, but I have one bone to pick. The present difficulty (i.e. moonbats who support our enemies) is not caused by modern communications system. It is caused by philosophical and especially moral bankruptcy. This did not exist in the USA in the 1930's and 1940's to anywhere near the degree of today.

146 Zardah  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 12:00:12pm

How in the world could a religion of peace create so many who have so many serious denial issues?

It's almost as if they have been brainwashed.

Where could such delusion be leading? What's next, stoning women? child brides? oppressive, degrading multi-marriages? willingness to strap bombs on kids? black eye'd celestrial hymin intact trollips? rocks that yell when Christians hide behind them?

Come on.. next you're going to suggest they want a holocaust against the Jooo's...

Oh man. I started to think logically here. I forgot to stop doing that when trying to determine the motives of these kinds of people.

Despite the fact that this is a MUCH more horrible thing to do to people than draw cartoons about their prophet, I suppose you may be right. There will be no murderous backlash for this.

What's the point of attacking the ISNA ideology on a pro-Stupid Bush website when that moron pays those puppets of a pro-Taliban/al-Qaeda group, for consultation on Islamic affairs.

Karen Hughes as Understate Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy was a personal appointee of Bush. I the two were any closer, she would be sucking his cock. And if she wasn't a fellow common-child-of-Abraham crackpot, then she probably would.

Hughes - the sadomasochist face of American surrenderists - takes punches from Muslims on her chin, and all but co-wrote Alberto Fernandez self-loathing. The fact of inherent Muslim aggression and social idiocy cannot impact on the alcohol sotted or faith-based brains of the Bush-Hughes lunatocracy. Their fanatacism is about as curable as leprosy, and 300 million times as dangerous. Muslim = enemy.

Address attacks on the ISNA to their dhimmi-slaves:

[Link: www.detnews.com...]

[Link: www.jihadwatch.org...]

When will this sink in?: Bush's no objective sham in Iraq is delivering a HIZBOLLAH-CORRIDOR to a Teheran tyranny against whom all he has tossed is lame rhetoric.

156 DockScience  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 1:48:02pm

Wow... looks like a whole lot of people got number 4 wrong.

The correct answer is NO.

A "good" Moslem can not be honestly supportive of a secular democratic republic with limited power that guarantees individual rights without respect to religion.

To be a good American requires that one ignore a good part of the Koran.

157 catalina  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 2:00:57pm

Other than the muslim/American questions, I'm sure the folks at CNN, many college faculty, or democrats in the Senate would come up with similar answers.

158 countrygurl  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 2:39:36pm

okay, so they want to kill us but they don't believe Bin Laden or Atta or Zarquwi or any one else has actually TRIED to kill us? We are making it all up. WE HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH OUR SCARCE RESOURCES AND OUR CHILDREN?

Very interesting state of denial. They must think we are stupid.

159 insane_kufr  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 4:22:43pm

OK we got 10% of these jerk offs thinking that killing civilians is acceptable, and 50% opining that killing our soldiers is acceptable.

These people are NOT Americans!

160 transferthem  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 5:13:42pm

Might be nice to ask the multiculturalists exactly which of those muslim mainstream views is particularly beneficial to mainstream American culture.

When America gets around to deporting its muslim problem, send the multiculturalists with them.

161 krazykounselor  Wed, Oct 25, 2006 10:28:19pm

Wait a minute. According to your own data, Charles, Muslims are NOT the America-hating violent people that LGF portrays them as, yet you still spin the article to mean so. Ego defense mechanism, perhaps?

162 DP111  Thu, Oct 26, 2006 2:42:53am

2. Do you consider yourself to be a Muslim first, an American first, or both equally?

MUSLIM FIRST - 214
AMERICAN FIRST - 4
BOTH EQUALLY - 86
UNDECIDED - 3

4. Can a good Muslim be a good American?

YES - 292
NO - 11
UNDECIDED - 4

#2 and #4 are incompatible.

163 KG  Thu, Oct 26, 2006 5:01:05am

While I'll freely acknowledge that devotion to one's God is nearly non-existant now in the West so the existance of devout westerners gets forgotten, those focusing on the first question about faith or country first still need to keep in mind that the answer would be the same from anyone that is devout to their religion.

Now, that does not mean that a devoutly religious person does not also feel that they have a strong obligation (and even depending on their faith a divinely required one) to be loyal to their country.

It just means that if you ask anyone who is devoutly religious who their first obligation is to they will tell you God.

Just something to keep in mind, that that question (without an appropriate follow up question about views on obligations after God) is pretty meaningless. There are plenty of other questions in that survey that are heapum big scary though.

#145 Bearster:

Thank you for the correction; I agree that the problem is not with technology but with character. If there is such a thing as a character of a nation, the state of the public's character today is not a bit like it was in 1940. Have a quick look at popular press articles, movies, advertising, reports from school principals, and you'll find an easily identifiable sense of right and wrong and an enthusiasm for success. You'll also find Jim Crow laws, segregation, poor public health, and shorter life-spans so not everything was rosey. The point is that there is a cheapened regard now for both life and the quality of it, a shallowness and immaturity that seems to have its roots in the Great Society programs of the 60's. Although you can't un-ring a bell, you can develop a taste for better quality news reporting, higher standards of behavior, and a respect for the life we've been given.

The war against fascism doesn't have to be lost because of a Cronkite-like mumble about how difficult and dangerous a war is. We are at war with a non-traditional enemy and to win requires non-traditional methods. But to win, we must choose sides.

The bassoon is one of my favorite instruments. It has the medieval aroma -- like the days when everything used to sound like that. Some people crave baseball -- I find this unfathomable -- but I can easily understand why a person could get excited about playing a bassoon.
