Friends and Patriots,
I want to thank you for your sacrifices seen and unseen over the past year, together we have made great changes and started to reverse the disastrous direction of our nation.
Many diverse groups and people have come together to promote and protect the freedoms which were paid for so dearly with the greatest of expense....the blood of our forefathers in the distant past, our men and women in uniform today, and in the not so distant future some of us may actually pay in the form of becoming political prisoners or enemies of the state...if we fail to remain vigilant and oppose the current trend in our government and elitist in charge.
We have accomplished much in a short period of time.... and we have all earned the right to take time to reflect on this with great pride!
All of us have sacrificed our time and money and some have even offered their lives. This self sacrifice seldom comes with thanks from those whose freedoms we strive to protect, and sometimes with ridicule and contempt.... for this you have my undying gratitude.
Our founding fathers sacrificed their lives, their fortunes and sacred honor to create what became America! the greatest nation of freedom and equality the world has ever known. I have often said history will remember us as the "Great Patriots" of our time, the modern day "Sons & Daughters of Liberty".
America is the shining city on the hill....one worth defending from all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC.... and she has many enemies within her gates to defend against. The recent election victory is just the first skirmish in a major war which is being waged against America and we have given up much ground to our foes.
An information battle has been waged against our most precious treasure... the hearts and minds of our children to effect and change America from within at her very roots. A Battle Space in which we have not even begun to engage our enemy in, you only need to look at the decline of our nation over the past 60 years to see what has occurred as foreign influence has been allowed to permeate our education system at all levels.
The cancer of Multi-culturalism which divides the nation based on race and ethnicity rather than assimilation or the great melting pot of America past!
The Reality is "HISTORY" is written by the victors. Will WE.......be remembered as the GREATEST PATRIOTS OF OUR TIME? Will America go the way of so many lost civilizations? Will America lose it's way and as so many other countries over the past century, become a socialist or Islamic nation in some not so distant future?
The answers lie within each of us..... do we have the resolve to do what we know is right, to persever in the face of opposition in what ever form it may take, and to never give up or surrender even in the face of great personal peril and self sacrifice?
A patriotic song comes to mind.... "All gave some.... SOME GAVE ALL"
To some of us... there is no choice to be made... our decision is one of a patriot thru and thru... willing to give all without a second thought! To these, my fellow patriots ....I pledge my undying gratitude, support, and brotherhood.
To those of you who have not yet come to the realization of the struggle before us.... I ask that you take the necessary time, what ever that may be... (but please hurry).... to realize the great peril our nation faces today and make your decision to step forward as so many GREAT AMERICAN PATRIOTS of the past.... let us be know as the Greatest Patriots of Our Time.... let us be the ones to write History!!!!!
A PATRIOTS RESOLUTION:
I ask each of you to be resolute in your patriotic duty in this NEW YEAR...... AMERICA needs you... it needs all of you ..not some of you!!!!! It needs you to give all in the coming struggle if She is to not only survive, but be restored to her former glory!!!!!!
May God Bless each of you and may God Bless America!
Sincerly,
Randy McDaniels

"All Americans Must Die" written on wall of Tyson Chicken plant that adopted Muslim holiday in 2008 - Jihad Watch
Tyson Reaping what is has sown....
The same Tyson Food Plant that enacted a paid MUSLIM Holiday EID AL FITR in Place of 113 year old Labor Day, which was overturned in large part from pressure from ACT for America in 2008, is once again embroiled in controversy.
2 days prior to Christmas a women's bathroom was set on fire and the words "ALL AMERICANS MUST DIE" was written on the walls. This would not be so disturbing if it were not that TYSON foods is one of the largest food producers in the the nation which is a viable way for a Jihadi to kill untold numbers of Americans if the food source was poisoned.

Carma Nicholson, I am glad to hear that quote "Labor day is still a holiday at Tyson Foods"
what really concerns me is your next statement... "THIS ISSUE CONCERNS > ONLY THE PLANT AT SHELBYVILLE, TN. Then you admit the American Union asked for and received Eid al-Fitr, as one of their eight paid holidays, in place of Labor Day."
The first statement seems a little contradictory in light of the next statement... or should it be said that "Labor Day is still a recognized holiday at most of Tyson Foods"???
Then... I have to ask how long before more American Holidays are replaced at Tyson? which ones? or at which Plant? or how many before it is considered unacceptable to Tyson?
Next the fact that 1/3rd of your twelve man union bargaining committee were Muslim Somali's which helped vote for the REPLACEMENT of Labor Day for Eid al-Fitr an American Holiday of well over a hundred years for a Muslim Holiday is not a surprise. It would not also surprise me that more members of the committee were Muslim than the three Somali's mentioned.
The fact that it was a union contract negotiated last fall ... some how makes it OK? Sounds like Tyson has a motto similar one of the Mob's..."it's not personal.... it's only business"
The fact that it was a negotiation means Tyson had the right to not accept this proposal no matter if 100% of the workers were Muslim and they all voted for it.
Then you go onto act as if Tyson had no choice in hiring these employees/refugees... or ... you were trying to earn Kudu's for doing what was socially responsible... I wasn't really sure which point you were trying to make?
By the way...no one is bashing Tyson for hiring these individuals and refugee's.
The Fact of the matter is this:
Tyson foods is an American business. As American's we should have more of what our founding fathers and other great Patriots over the years had.... the integrity and fortitude to what is right at any cost. Many businessmen and country men put their personal fortunes at stake to found this great nation. Actions by irresponsible companies which try to act as if they have no decision in the matter and then try to make excuses or blame others for their irresponsible actions...seems the norm in this day and age.
Tyson had the option to not accept this un-PATRIOTIC demand, but choose to cave to these demands for the all mighty buck. The fact...well it's just one plant...does not make this decision any less reprehensible. It's like a Chemical Plant saying we have only one plant dumping toxic waste into our local rivers... but the other 118 are really doing the right thing.... they are still causing damage to our rivers.
It is actions like this one by Tyson Foods... which are contributing to the destruction this Great Nation from within... they diminish our heritage and ties to our founding American values for one's which have no meaning to our Heritage by a people bent on replacing our culture and government on piece at a time.
I will continue with my boycott and will lobby every other grass roots organization to follow suit.
p.s. In an effort not to misrepresent myself or Act for America... I would like to let you know that our organization is over 40,000 strong... 50,000 was typing error. Members of my chapter and other chapters have expressed that they will also boycott Tyson Foods, however I can not speak for Act for America as a whole or all the other chapters, however ACT for America corporate has sent out copies of this article to all chapter's and as we share the same PATRIOTIC values I am sure they share my sentiment.
Sincerely,
Randy McDaniels

Union Contract Provision only at Shelbyville, TN Plant>>>>
Springdale, Arkansas - August 4, 2008 - Contrary to recent reports,>>
Labor Day is still a holiday at Tyson Foods. This issue concerns only the plant at Shelbyville, TN. The majority of employees at the Tyson plant in Shelbyville, TN, are represented by the Retail, Wholesale and Department Stores Union (RWDSU), an American union that asked for and received Eid al-Fitr, as one of their eight paid holidays, in place of Labor Day.
This applies only to the Shelbyville plant and resulted as part of the union contract negotiated last fall. This change does not apply to Tyson's other 118 plants. This is not a religious accommodation rather, it is part of a union-initiated contract demand.
This change came about as a result of union demands brought to the>> negotiating table, and was agreed upon by Tyson in an effort to reach a contractual agreement with the union. The contract that calls for this change was unanimously recommended by the 12-person union bargaining committee, which included three Somali employees. The contract was then overwhelmingly agreed to by 80-percent of the rank and file membership of the union at the Shelbyville plant.
The Muslim population at the Shelbyville plant is primarily composed of approximately 250 Somali employees, who are political refugees, most of whom came to the plant as a result of refugee resettlement efforts based in Nashville. They were employed at the plant through the Tennessee Department of Employment Security office.
The Shelbyville complex employs approximately 1,200 people. Approximately 1,000 workers are covered by the union agreement at Shelbyville.

QUESTION/COMMENT:
Due to your recent decision to allow a Muslim holiday in place of labor day I will not be buying any TYSON products in the future. In addition, I am a member of ACT for America www.actforamerica.com and we are now over 50,000 strong who will be boycotting your products. I will be forwarding the information to other such coalition groups and my church.
This is a political ideology not a religion... and a violent one with the soul intent of destroying our American heritage, freedoms, and implementing sharia law in this country... and your aiding and abetting their efforts. I think those of you at TYSON should educate yourselves and be more patriotic.... I plan to do everything in my power to hurt your company where it counts.... $$$$$$$ obviously is all that is important ... it is the bottom line.

PrintEmailShareComments A 46-year-old, blue-eyed grandmother and U.S. citizen from Indianapolis, Indiana is being monitored by international law enforcement who are concerned that she’ll become the next ‘Jihad Jane,’ FoxNews.com has learned.
Intelligence sources told FoxNews.com that the Muslim-convert, Kathie Smith, married a known German jihadist on the U.S. no fly list—and that she’s become increasingly violent in her online anti-American, pro-terrorist rhetoric. She also has been training in martial arts—and was taken to court for still owing an Indiana Karate instructor thousands of dollars.
On Facebook, YouTube and Islamist forums Smith—now known as Zabaida—has posted videos by Anwar al Awlaki, written in support of the Sept. 11 terror attacks and suicide attacks while repeatedly calling for jihad against the West and the deaths of American citizens and members of the U.S. military in Afghanistan and Iraq.
On MySpace she wrote, “As salamu alaikum akhi.. it is time for Jihad and it is now Fard ayn for ALL Muslims whether their in the United Snakes or else where...Insha'Allah!!!!”
Intelligence sources tell FoxNews.com she returned to Germany on Dec. 6 to visit her husband, but her current whereabouts are unclear.
Law enforcement is concerned that she’s gone operational after being radicalized by her husband and is or will soon be providing material support to help her husband plan terrorist attacks against the U.S. and is rallying support from within the U.S. and elsewhere to help—which is exactly what Philadelphia native Colleen LaRose “Jihad Jane” was charged with.
In an ongoing and lengthy email exchange with FoxNews.com, Smith, writing from an unknown location, alternatively defended her online postings, denied being anti-American, called the Sept. 11 attacks an inside job, the U.S. a terrorist organization and invited this reporter to listen to the sermons of Anwar al Awlaki.
Earlier this month, Smith appeared alongside her husband, known online as Salahudin Ibn Ja'far, in a video uploaded on his YouTube account that featured a montage of terrorist propaganda and leaders.
It also features members of the German cell of Islamic Jihad Union, a U.S. designated terror organization, who were convicted in March for plotting terror attacks three years ago against U.S. targets in Germany, including Ramstein Air Force Base, and calls for jihad against the West.
(In an email to FoxNews.com Smith described the men in the video—known members of Islamic Jihad Union convicted in terror plots against U.S. —as childhood friends of her husband.)
Indiana Department of Homeland Security spokeswoman Emily Norcross told FoxNews.com that the video is being investigated by the Indiana Intelligence Fusion Center, a joint agency counterterror center, and would passed along to appropriate enforcement for further investigation.
Norcross recommended contacting the FBI for more information.
FBI spokeswoman Jenny Shearer said:
“As you’re aware, FBI and DOJ policy precludes us from confirming or denying the existence of an investigation.”
In the nearly six-minute video, Smith and her husband appear wielding machine guns and swords, posing amid a montage of known terrorists. Included in the photo array is an Anwar al Awlaki sermon album cover, photos of convicted Ramstein plotters Daniel Martin Schneider, Eric Breininger and Houssain Al-Malla, among other men who appear to have left for jihad.
In an email to FoxNews.com, Smith said of the Ramstein plotters featured in her video:
“The so-called "jihadists" you have mentioned are actually personal friends of my husband from childhood. In the video he was expressing his love and gratitude to his friends, who have died fighting for freedom. Just like any other American or European citizen who displays pictures of soldiers who have died on their videos. There is no difference in gratitude and love. It is just that your government has deemed these noble men as "terrorists" because they are not on the same side. Least us not forget the Mujahideen who fought the Russians for the US. They were deemed "heroes" and lead by Osama Bin Laden at that time, and now because the government says so..they are "terrorists.””
Intelligence sources tell FoxNews.com that the see Smith’s increasingly hostile online rhetoric as a sign of radicalization and fear she as traveled to Germany to
provide material support to her husband’s terrorist plots—and that she and her husband may be on their way to jihadist training camps in Pakistan.
On Facebook, Smith “likes” Anwar Awlaki, is friends with Sheikh Faisal, the spiritual leader of Revolution Muslim; Yousef al-Khatab, Revolution Muslim’s co-founder; Ansar al Jundullah, the group tied to suicide bombings earlier this month in Iran; supporters of Al Shabaab. Her pro-jihadist postings are numerous.
But in email messages, Smith told FoxNews.com she was just speaking her mind.
“I am exercising my right, as an American citizen to freedom of speech, religion, and the right to bare arms. I have the right in America to say what ever I want. That is what makes America so great, right?”
Her husband posted in support of Usama bin Laden and Anwar al Awlaki, and earlier this month posted videos including one claiming to show exercises at a Taliban training camp in Pakistan, and another outlining orders for the wives of jihadist soldiers who go off to fight.
Smith wrote via email:
“I live a simple life, a life where I fear Allah first and try hard to do what is right for mankind. I am not some "horribly misguided, or brainwashed" individual. I have lived a long life and have seen many things. And I will always stand up for what is right, no matter who is trying to say the contrary.
“The US and its Ally's are abusers. They live only for the almighty dollar and power. I must ask you to think of it this way. When you are an abuses woman, you are either going to lay down and take it. Or your going to get up and fight the abuser. The Muslim community has been abused for far too long…Does this sound like Democracy to you or the American way? I would hope not but it is sad but true. And the American population needs to stand up to such tyrany.
“As a human being with a conscious, I can not idly stand by and watch "innocent" people being tortured and genocide which is what is happening to the Islamic world. This includes Palistine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indoneasia, Somaila to name a few.”

When you are an abuses woman, you are either going to lay down and take it. Or your going to get up and fight the abuser. The Muslim community has been abused for far too long…Does this sound like Democracy to you or the American way? I would hope not but it is sad but true. And the American population needs to stand up to such tyrany.
“As a human being with a conscious, I can not idly stand by and watch "innocent" people being tortured and genocide which is what is happening to the Islamic world. This includes Palistine, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Indoneasia, Somaila to name a few.”

CAIR Asks DOJ to Review Use of Muslim-Bashers as Terror Trainers - Yahoo! News
CAIR is referring to the TEAM B II report in which it says unqualified folks are teaching about Islam and Counter Terrorism to federal agencies. The group is comprised of the national cutting edge experts. This is a direct assault on the agenda of CAIR/HAMAS and as such they will make every effort to stop this training.
Once again, CAIR is on the wrong side of protecting the nation... I have yet to see them endorse any activity which supports national security.

Who Will Teach Tolerance to the Muslims?
“Missing in all this great hullabaloo of tolerance, is any interest in teaching Muslims to tolerate the Christians, Jews, Hindus and other religions that they have traditionally persecuted and massacred… Even the least rational among us, taking a look at that 3,000 to 1 score, would come to the conclusion that maybe more ToleranceEducation(TM) resources should be devoted to the people who carried out the worst massacre in American history, than to the people who in response to that massacre began reassuring them that there were no hard feelings about it.”

Muslim Brotherhood Front Group Trains Airport Screeners
Muslim Brotherhood Front Group Trains Airport Screeners

Posted 12/06/2010 ET
The Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) has completed training for 2,200 Transportation Safety Officers (TSOs) at the Los Angeles International Airport according to a press release found on the MPAC website.
The MPAC release notes that the two-month training course informed officers of "the diversity of Muslims around the world from cultural dress to language to tenets. The four trainers taught the TSOs how to properly handle a Quran and discussed the different ways Muslim women and men choose to cover or dress. For example, the TSOs learned if a woman wears hijab and needs a secondary screening she should be screened in a private area by a female TSO officer."
(The Drudge Report shocked the nation with this photo of a nun being patted down by a Muslim woman in head garb. Apparently Christian women are afforded only public groping sessions.)
In 1986, MPAC was formed as a political action arm of one of the largest Wahhabi mosques in America, the Islamic Center for Southern California.
As the Center for Security Policy's Team B II report entitled "Sharia: The Threat to America" notes, "The founders of the Islamic Center for Southern California are Hassan Hathout and his brother Maher Hathout. The late Hassan Hathout was a senior member of the Muslim Brotherhood Movement. The two brothers Maher spent time in an Egyptian prison during the early days of the Muslim Brotherhood’s activities there, led by the Brotherhood’s founder Hassan Al Banna. MPAC’s own publication, The Minaret, has proudly called Hassan a 'companion of' and Maher 'a close disciple of' Brotherhood founder Hassan al Banna."
Maher Hathout also founded and is currently a senior advisor for MPAC. He and others at MPAC also currently work for and maintain a close relationship with the Islamic Center of Southern California.
Hathout was also on the board of directors and a member of the American Muslim Council (AMC) from 1993 to 1997. AMC was founded by the al Qaeda financier and Hamas operative Abdurahman Alamoudi who is currently serving 23 years in prison for funding terrorist groups including al Qaeda.
Maher Hathout served on the AMC Board of Directors at the same time Alamoudi was serving as its Executive Director.
"Maher Hathout has publicly voiced his approval of Designated Terrorist Organizations such as Hezbollah; decried many U.S. counterterrorism efforts; called for the destruction of Israel; and, openly supported known terrorists such as Hasan al Turabi, the leader of the National Islamic Front of Sudan. Yet, the organization he founded, MPAC, enjoys a reputation in official U.S. circles as a 'moderate' Muslim organization," the Team B II report states.
"Salam al-Marayati is the current president of MPAC. Al-Marayati was denied a leadership position on the National Commission on Terrorism by then-House Democratic Leader Richard Gephardt when it came to light that Al-Marayati claimed that the terrorist group, Hezbollah, was a legitimate organization and has the right to attack the Israeli Army.
"Edina Lekovic is MPAC’s Communications Director. Previously, Lekovic was editor of the magazine Al-Talib when it editorialized that Osama bin Laden was a freedom fighter and warrior for Allah, who should be defended by Muslims. Al-Talib is the magazine published by the UCLA chapter of the Muslim Student’s Association. ... The MSA was the first Muslim Brotherhood organization established in the United States."
MPAC works as a propaganda and misinformation ministry for the Muslim Brotherhood. One example offered in the Team B II Report is its aggressive and successful pursuit of total control of the language used by the United States government in regard to Muslim terrorists.
"MPAC attacked the language used to describe the events of September 11, 2001 detailed in the 9/11 Commission Report. MPAC demanded an end to the use of words such as jihad, ummah, caliphate, shariah and others in relation to terrorist doctrine," the report states.
"In subsequent years, the National Counterterrorism Center, the Department of Homeland Security and the Federal Bureau of Investigation have all issued strategic counterterrorism documents devoid of these terms. Such conformity to shariah by U.S. government entities such as the FBI and DHS is an extraordinary strategic victory for the enemy in the information battlespace."
The Investigative Project offers another extensive background study of MPAC's links to jihadi terrorist groups.

Center for Security Policy letter to the Jacksonville City Council concerning Parvez Ahmed’s history with CAIR
Former Advisor to President Reagan said CAIR is in violation of FARA ACT and Parvez Ahmed may be personally liable as he has signed documents which are in violation of this ACT.
Currently a Federal Grand Jury is Invetigating over 12,000 pages of documents regarding various crimes by CAIR and other Muslim Brotherhood groups obtained from an undercover investigation at CAIR National.
What is motivating our city to stand behind this man despite his nefarious ties and a mountain of evidence he was the leader of a Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas front group.

This Article is about a Resistance Movement and the history a culture surviving or dying... I though it was most appropriate to what we are experiencing in America. We must decide if we want our culture to survive or die and take the necessary steps.
We are a Christian nation and like Israel we must fight for our survival and like they and our founder's rely and trust in the one true God.

Federal judge confirms CAIR is Hamas
Unsealed ruling reveals 'ample evidence' tying group to terror

CAIR's headquarters in Washington, D.C., just three blocks from the U.S. Capitol.
WASHINGTON – A federal judge has determined that the Justice Department provided "ample evidence" to designate the most prominent Muslim group in America as an unindicted terrorist co-conspirator.
According to a federal court ruling unsealed Friday, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations has been involved in "a conspiracy to support Hamas," a federally designated terrorist group that has murdered at least 17 Americans and injured more than 100 U.S. citizens.
The 20-page order, signed by U.S. District Judge Jorge A. Solis, cites "ample evidence" that CAIR participated in a "criminal conspiracy" led by the Holy Land Foundation, Hamas's main fundraising arm in the U.S. As a result, the judge refused CAIR's request to strike its name from documents listing it as an unindicted co-conspirator in the case.
"The four pieces of evidence the government relies on do create at least a prima facie case as to CAIR's involvement in a conspiracy to support Hamas," Solis wrote in his July 2009 ruling.
(Story continues below)
The evidence includes documents introduced by the government showing CAIR and its founding chairman Omar Ahmad have operated as key members of Hamas' U.S. wing, known as the "Palestine Committee." In addition, FBI wiretaps and agent testimony have placed both Ahmad and CAIR's acting executive director – Nihad Awad – at a secret meeting last decade with Hamas leaders in Philadelphia. Meeting in a hotel room, participants hatched a scheme to disguise payments to Hamas suicide bombers and their families as charity.
CAIR founding chairman Omar Ahmad, who arranged and led the secret Hamas meeting in Philadelphia
"The attendees agreed not to mention the word Hamas but to refer to Hamas as 'Samah,' which is Hamas spelled backwards," Solis said. "The Philadelphia conference essentially laid out the path that the Palestine Committee would take to accomplish its goal of supporting Hamas in the future."
During the meeting – which was organized and led by CAIR founder Ahmad – the Hamas operatives agreed to form CAIR as an outwardly benign front group skilled in media manipulation. "They did not want to be viewed as being aligned with terrorist groups," he said.
The judge did not dispute "press accounts and blog entries" that "CAIR is a criminal organization that supports terrorism," according to the ruling.
The government's evidence undermines CAIR's public face as a "civil-rights advocacy organization," while corroborating the findings of the bestselling book, "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld That's Conspiring to Islamize America." The book chronicles the undercover investigation of P. David Gaubatz and his son, who interned at CAIR's national headquarters.
CAIR has sued the Gaubatzes for trespassing, but has not denied any of the book's explosive findings tying CAIR closer to terrorism.
According to Politico.com, a federal grand jury in Washington is actively hearing evidence against CAIR emerging from the Holy Land trial, while also reviewing the thousands of pages of evidence gathered in the "Muslim Mafia" investigation. Prosecutors subpoenaed the evidence shortly after the book was published last fall.
CAIR, which has not been charged with a crime, denies allegations it works for Hamas – even as it refuses to condemn the terrorist group by name.
"CAIR is not a front group for Hamas," insisted CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper, "or any of the other false and misleading associations our detractors seek to smear us with."
CAIR maintains it is simply a Muslim-rights group, but the Justice Department says it is a front group not only for Hamas, but for its parent the radical Muslim Brotherhood – a worldwide jihadist movement that prosecutors say has a secret plan to impose Shariah law on the U.S.
"From its founding by Muslim Brotherhood leaders, CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists," said assistant U.S. Attorney Gordon Kromberg in a separate court filing.
CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad, implicated in a major terror case, shakes hands with undercover intern Chris Gaubatz at CAIR headquarters in Washington.
In 2007, U.S. prosecutors first named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in a criminal scheme led by the Holy Land Foundation to funnel more than $12 million to Hamas suicide bombers and their families. A jury in 2008 convicted the charity and its leaders on all 108 felony counts.
"CAIR has been identified by the government at trial as a participant in an ongoing and ultimately unlawful conspiracy to support a designated terrorist organization – a conspiracy from which CAIR never withdrew," said assistant U.S. Attorney Jim Jacks, who recently won an award from Attorney General Eric Holder for convicting the Holy Land terrorists.
The Holy Land revelations prompted the FBI to sever ties with CAIR until it can demonstrate it is not a terror front.
"Until we can resolve whether there continues to be a connection between CAIR or its executives and Hamas, the FBI does not view CAIR as an appropriate liaison partner," advised assistant FBI Director Richard Powers in a 2009 letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Media outlets – including Fox News, which is financed by the same Saudi prince funding CAIR – continue to invite Awad and other CAIR leaders on the air to argue against airport profiling and other issues on CAIR's agenda. Fox has offered CAIR guests full segments unopposed by critics and without viewer caveats regarding CAIR's court-documented terror connections.

Leaked cables: Turkey wants "to take back Andalusia and avenge the defeat at the siege of Vienna in 1683" - Jihad Watch
Scary, when you think JACKSONVILLE Florida has Akif Aydin of the Amity Turkish Cultural Center who promotes Fethullah Gulen on their site (Gulen, is believe to be the man pulling many of the strings moving Turkey from secular to a Islamic Totalitarian Government, he lives in P.A. on exile from Turkey and runs 220 Schools in the U.S. on in Jacksonville) conducting influence operations on prominent leaders in our community with trips to Turkey, conducting INTERFAITH DIALOGUE via the Table of Abraham to influence other faith leaders, and gain credibility in the community.
I have attended Mr. Aydin's speeches...or Proslytizing before. We confronted him on video and the deception and distortions were so bad, the pastor even made comment to our group over dinner of this fact. He was appauled.
Turkey, was the home to the Caliphate or leader of the Global Islamic State until last century when Ataturk outlawed Sharia Law and all things Sharia Compliant....and made Turkey a secular nation. This lead to the birth of the Muslim Brotherhood, which Spawned Hamas, Taliban, Al Qeada, and other violent Jihadist groups, and the PRE-VIOLENT groups here in AMERICA like CAIR, ISNA, NAIT, MSA, and others.
Wake up America... it is an orchestrated GLOBAL ISLAMIC MOVEMENT and we have not event started to engage inside our country...where the real war is taking place.

What are they doing here???? Well becoming SKY DIVE EXPERTS and Some LEARNING TO FLY... with an occasional Sensitivity Training for Law Enforcement and Military according to some in the area (L.E. Training is unconfirmed by our investigation, but we have heard it directly from first hand source Americans who work with the Qatar Skydive group both at the Hotel and Drop Zone).

What are they doing here???? Well becoming SKY DIVE EXPERTS and Some LEARNING TO FLY... with an occasional Sensitivity Training for Law Enforcement and Military according to some in the area (L.E. Training is unconfirmed by our investigation, but we have heard it directly from first hand source Americans who work with the Qatar Skydive group both at the Hotel and Drop Zone).

National Writers Syndicate - Islamic Apartheid Muslims Only
The Saudi government forbids Non-Muslims to enter Mecca and Medina per Qur’an 9:28, “O you who believe! the idolaters are nothing but unclean, so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year; and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise.” —Qur'an, Sura 9 At-Tawba, ayah 28.
This Ayah or verse regarding Allah enriching you of his grace.....is followed by Ayah's or verses... which explain Muslims are obliged to raid/rob the Non-Muslim for these lost Taxes or JIZYA lost from the Dhimmies (Christian & Jewish Slaves to Islam) who were now forbidden to enter these cities.

Islamic Apartheid Muslims Only
Written by Alan Kornman
The politics of Mecca and Medina is the window to understanding how most all Muslims view us 5.4 Billion Non-Muslims.
Every living breathing non-Muslim on the planet can be arrested if caught inside Mecca or Medina under any circumstances. The world population is approximately 6.8 Billion people of which 1.4 Billion are Muslim leaving 5.4 Billion people who are not legally pure enough to step foot on Mecca or Medina soil - this is Islamic Apartheid by their own hands.
Islamic Apartheid in Mecca and Medina is a legal, political, and religious segregation enforced by the Shariah compliant country of Saudi Arabia, under which the rights of the majority Muslim population were maintained and minority rights by everyone else are severely restricted. Saudi Arabia is a sovereign country and has the right to engage and enforce any type of bigoted hateful policies they see fit towards non-Muslims.
Advocates of tolerance and pluralism here in America have an obligation to speak out against bigotry and hatred wherever it is found - yet these groups remain silent on Islamic Apartheid resulting in a double standard that merits further discussion regardless if you are liberal or conservative.
The Islamic apartheid problem in America exists because every Mosque and Muslim Advocacy group in America promotes the bigoted exclusionary practices of Mecca and Medina with their silence.
The wholesale promotion of Mecca and Medina bigotry is embraced and accepted by Islamists because of the fifth pillar of Islam or pilgrimage called the Hajj. Performance of the Hajj (pilgrimage to Mecca) is required of every adult Muslim, male or female, if physically and financially possible. Many Muslims spend their entire lives saving and planning for this journey. Every Mosque in America who promotes the Hajj endorses the Islamic Apartheid bigotry that is currently in force inside Mecca and Medina.
It is well past time for all the Mosques in America and their respective Imams to condemn the exclusionary and bigoted practice of Islamic Apartheid in Mecca and Medina in the name of pluralism and tolerance. Imagine the outrage if the Vatican only allowed Catholics or Christians access to their most holy of sites, and rightfully so.
At the sixty-fifth session of the General Assembly of the United Nations, 9/25/2010, the statement of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia delivered by their Minister of Foreign Affairs, H.R.H Prince Saud Al-Faisal, exposes Saudi Arabia’s dangerous double game. Prince Saud Al-Faisal delivers pluralistic platitudes for Western consumption to the United Nations while the Apartheid Shariah laws of Mecca and Medina shed valuable insight into how Saudi Arabia, and more importantly, Shariah Law, views non-Muslims with actions rather than meaningless words.
Prince Al-Faisal said: “My country (Saudi Arabia) believes in the importance of full, universal commitment to the fundamental principles of the United Nations, including the regulation of relations between States, the maintenance of international law, and the international legitimacy and rejection, of all forms of violence and extremism.
These noble goals are fully in keeping with magnanimous Islamic Shariah, since the eternal message of Islam is unificatory and non-divisive, just and equitable, and NON-DISCRIMINATORY, and advocates co-operation among ALL PEOPLES OF THE WORLD, in order to further their welfare and happiness, and safeguard their rights and dignity.”
The double game being played here is neither subtle or hidden for those who choose to see it. Saudi Arabia is proselytizing the message that Islamic Shariah Law is just, equitable, non-discriminatory, and advocates cooperation among all peoples of the world.
The previous message of pluralism is exactly what the American people must hear to feel safe and secure with the dark cloud of Islamist Jihad casting a dark, looming shadow over the United States of America.
Prince Al-Faisal goes on to say, “Accordingly, the Government of the Two Holy Mosques, emphasizes the need to put the principles embodied in the Charter of the United Nations into actual and effective practice, in a non-selective manner, without any double standard.”
Prince Al-Faisal’s statement is a lie! Those in America who take refuge in this falsehood do so at their own peril. Unfortunately, there are many in the current administration, State Department, universities, Synagogues, Churches, and Islamic Interfaith Initiatives, all across the country, who are knowingly, under their watchful and complicit eye, perpetuating the lies of Saudi pluralism, as Islamic Apartheid is being practiced in the Kingdom.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, aka government of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, have made it illegal for any person, who is non-Muslim, to enter Mecca and Medina. This policy makes a mockery of Prince Saud Al-Faisal’s claim, that the eternal message of Islam and Shariah Law, is “ Non-discriminatory”. It is a colossal joke and insult to the 5.4 billion inhabitants of earth who are not Muslim. The former South African Apartheid racial hatred issue pales in comparison to the Apartheid of Mecca and Medina.
Islamic Apartheid of Mecca and Medina is important because Political Islam makes it obligatory for all Muslims in the world to be co-conspirators in the bigotry and hatred heaped upon any Non-Muslim who dares to set foot inside the borders of either city. Obligatory is the key word here when it comes to Islamic Doctrine. Islamic doctrine states the Qur’an is the uncorrupted word of God/Allah, and is the last divinely inspired document on earth. All previous religious and political texts have been corrupted by man, and are believed by “good” Muslims to be inferior to the Qur’an.
Those corrupted texts include the Bible, Torah, U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights, and any other political and religious texts men use to guide them in all matters of life and politics. Agnostics, Atheists, and Secular Humanists are not given a pass either. Islamists view Atheists and Secular Humanists as weak and without faith in the one true God, Allah, and have a special hellish place reserved for you too.
The politics of Mecca and Medina is the window to understanding how most all Muslims view us 5.4 Billion Non-Muslims. We have learned non-Muslims are not permitted to enter Mecca or Medina under Shariah Law. The Saudi government supports their position using Qur’an 9:28, “O you who believe! the idolaters are nothing but unclean, so they shall not approach the Sacred Mosque after this year; and if you fear poverty then Allah will enrich you out of His grace if He please; surely Allah is Knowing Wise.” —Qur'an, Sura 9 At-Tawba, ayah 28.
The Saudi government Custodians of the Two Holy Mosques see all 5.4 Billion non-Muslims as “nothing but unclean.” You know it is true, because no matter how much you may not like me for saying it - YOU will be arrested if you enter Mecca or Medina. Every Mosque and Islamic Center in America is complicit in this Islamic Apartheid, because it is obligatory for them to help and encourage every Muslim to make the Hajj and teach the 5th Pillar of Islamic Apartheid. Islamic Apartheid is a crime against humanity.
All people who believe in pluralism and tolerance must lead the way in demanding American Muslims and their Imams stop supporting this abhorrent Islamic Apartheid practice with their silence.

Muslims in Christian Schools: Religious Friction 101 :: Islamist Watch
Very timely article... seeing the RICK WARREN of Saddleback Church is now embracing ChrISLAM along with Charles Schuller... and churches like these are putting Bible and Qurans side by side in pews under the guise of interfaith dialogue.
The Dialogue of course is a one way street...just as the Islamist who approach these well meaning but misguided ministers know all to well. Sayyid Qutb, one of a couple ideologues of the Muslim Brotherhood which promotes most of the Interfaith Dialogue in America, said "The chasm between the Jahaliya (unbelievers) and Islam is vast, we are building "BRIDGES" (always be wary the Muslim building bridges), not so the two may mix... but so we can bring the Jahaliya to Islam.
Interfaith Dialogue is funded mostly by Saudi Arabia a country which has a death penalty for those who proselytize other than Islam, and funnel $$$ to groups like ISNA, ICNA, MSA, CAIR and other for interfaith outreach. Is it working... Read this article and see.
P.S. Ingrid Mattson, Obama prayer leader, is former President of ISNA a Co-Conspirator in largest terrorism case in U.S. history (U.S. vs HLF 2008) and also President of HARTFORD SEMINARY...so you figure it out!

Abu Toameh: What the Western Media Misses
November 12th, 2010 at 8:26 am Arsen Ostrovsky | 4 Comments |Share | Print
A few days ago, I was fortunate to attend a talk by Israeli Arab journalist Khaled Abu Toameh in Jerusalem.
Toameh gave an incredibly wide ranging talk about the peace process, the double standards rife in the West and the media when it comes to coverage of the Middle East and his perspective as a Muslim Arab of Palestinian descent living in Israel (and you thought you had identity issues!).
Toameh has been working as a journalist for almost 30 years now, covering Palestinian affairs, focusing predominantly on the West Bank and Gaza, including for the Palestinian press under the PLO and for various international media outlets in the US and Europe. He is currently at the Jerusalem Post writing on Palestinian issues. Toameh is also an Israeli citizen living in Jerusalem. In other words, he is aptly qualified to comment on the issues of his discussion.
However, if you expected Toameh to jump on the anti-Israel bandwagon with the familiar cries that Israel is an un-democratic apartheid state responsible for all that is wrong including the bubonic plague or to have a single-minded focus on the occupation, you would have been sorely disappointed.
Instead, he spoke openly, courageously and in his words, said it “as it is”. Asked what he thought was the essence of the conflict, Toameh said it was not about money or even settlements, as many so called pundits often imply, as a precursor to blaming Israel. Rather, his answer was very simple: “This conflict is about Israel’s very existence in this part of the world.”
But before you get any conclusions, Toameh is not a card carrying Zionist or as somebody once asked him “when did you get on the Israel lobby payroll”. In his own words, he says:
I’m not pro-Israel, I’m not pro-Palestinian and I’m not pro-American. But as a journalist, I’m pro the facts and pro the truth.
Here are some of Toameh’s illuminating comments:
I asked Toameh how, as an Arab Muslim Israeli, he responds to accusations that Israel is an apartheid state.
His response:
Israel is not an apartheid state. But there are problems and some discrimination with the Arab minority inside Israel. If Israel were an apartheid state, I, for example, would not be allowed to work for a Jewish newspaper or live in a Jewish neighborhood or own a home. The real apartheid is in Lebanon, where there is a law that bans Palestinians from working in over 50 professions. Can you imagine if the Knesset passed a law banning Arabs from working even in one profession? The real apartheid is also in many Arab and Muslim nations, like Kuwait, where my Palestinian uncle, who has been living there for 35 years is banned from buying a house. The law of Israel does not distinguish between a Jew and an Arab.
As for the uniqueness of the Israeli media in the middle East, Toameh added:
Israel is a free and open country with a democracy, that respects the freedom of the media. You can basically write any anti-Israel story and still walk in downtown Jerusalem or Tel Aviv without having to worry about your safety. Anyone can be a journalist in Israel.
Toameh says he finds it ironic that as an Arab Muslim living in this part of the world, the only place he can express himself freely is in a ‘Jewish newspaper’, noting that:
We don’t have a free media in the Palestinian area, we didn’t have one when I was working there in the late 70’s and early 80’s, we didn’t have one when the PLO came here after the signing of the Oslo accords and we still don’t have one under Fatah and Hamas.
But what about the media’s need for an anti-Israeli angle on stories? Toameh says that when he tried to alert many of his foreign colleagues that Palestinians were dying because of an internal power struggle or gross corruption by Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, their reflex response was:
Where’s the anti-Israel angle to the story? Give us an anti-occupation story. Make our lives much easier. An Arab killing an Arab, that’s not a story for us.
Toameh notes that the same foreign journalists would then ask him: “are you on the payroll of the Israel lobby?” Do they [the Jews] pay you to say these things against Arafat and the PLO?’ Toameh’s response to them:
what do the Jews have to do with this? I’m telling you what the Palestinians are saying about there being corruption in the Palestinian Authority. I’m even telling you that the PA is saying that the PA is corrupt.
It is a sad reflection on the state of society, and in particular, the media industry, that not only are they not sufficiently concerned or outraged at the death of Arabs by Arabs (which coincidentally has claimed many more lives than the Israel – Palestinian conflict), but that they will only muster even an iota of concern if they can put in an ‘anti-Israel’ angle.
On the proposed loyalty oath as well, Toameh offered a pragmatic response: “I have no problem with it because it applies equally to both Jews and non-Jews alike.”
One of the biggest and most intractable sticking points has consistently been the Palestinian demand for a right of return, which Israel will not agree to because it would mean the death knell of Israel as a Jewish state.
However, Toameh offers a very simple and pragmatic three stage solution, where the Palestinian refugees could:
1. Go to the future Palestinian state;
2. Resettle elsewhere, including other Arab states; and
3. Be offered compensation.
Most tellingly though, and in a statement seldom ever heard from Arabs (or the West), Toameh then asked: “and what about Jewish refugees that were forced to flee Arab nations”, suggesting that the issue of Jewish refugees must also be part of any future solution.
Focusing on the problem from Arab dictatorships and their insistence on inciting their people against Israel, Toameh says that we have a problem in the West in failing to believe what people tell us.
If Hamas say they want to destroy you, you have no reason not to believe them. And if Ahmadinejad says he wants to destroy you, there’s no need to start analysing what he means by that. Stop fooling ourselves and if anyone thinks that Hamas will ever recognise Israel’s right to exist, you’re also living in an illusion. Take it from their mouth directly…the PLO however is different – they will tell you one thing in English and then another in Arabic.
On the subject of Arab dictatorship, Toameh says:
Arab dictators survive by constantly blaming the misery of their people on Jews and the West and never accepting responsibility for anything. And by inciting against Israel and the West, you divert attention from problems at home. Why? Because you always need to make sure that your people are busy hating someone else. If they’re not hating Israel and the West, they might wake up one day and come to you, and God forbid, demand reform and democracy.
The crux of the message is:
If you keep inciting your people, then they ask ‘well, why are we then making peace with the Jews?’ We should be killing them as Hamas is saying’.
So what does Toameh think about Mahmoud Abbas, the PA President?
Abbas is corrupt, discredited, weak and does not have much power. He is reliant on Israel, who’s presence in the West Bank is ironically the only reason he has managed to stay in power.
And if Israel withdrew to the 1967 borders as demanded by Abbas and the PLO:
Abbas will collapse and Hamas will take over the West Bank in less than a day. If I were Israel, I would not give Abbas one inch of land in the West Bank – not for ideological reasons, but to avoid a situation where Hamas and others would take over the area.
When we asked him how best to defeat the extremists, radicals and terrorists like Hamas and Hizbullah, Toameh answered:
The first and most important thing is you go to the Arab governments and tell them stop the incitement that’s feeding these radicals and driving people into their hands. Sometimes there’s no difference between what is written about Israel and the Jews in the papers in Egypt and Saudi Arabia with what is written by Hamas.
Noting again the billions of dollars in aid provided by the US and EU to various Arab dictatorships, Toameh says in other words, and even clearer, they should tell them: “Stop calling for my death with my money.”
I asked Toameh about what steps were needed to move forward. According to him, the answer is “very simple” and involves the following steps:
1) The Palestinians must start investing money (provided to them mainly by the US and EU) for the welfare of their people instead of incitement. Then dismantle all militias, establish a free press and democratic institutions, end the infighting, insist on good governance and speak with one voice so at least we know who we’re talking to. And then he suggests they should go speak with Israel and see what it has to offer them.
2) Deal with the enemies of peace – if you weaken the enemies of peace, like Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas, the moderates will rise and start speaking out. But as long as Iran is breathing down the neck and threatening, together with Hamas and Hizbullah, who are threatening to kill anyone who makes concessions, no moderate Arab will ever dare sign an agreement with Israel. Toameh says:
I don’t even rule out military action against any of them because this is the only language these guys understand. Talking to them and appeasing them is even more dangerous.
3) “We can’t move forward when you don’t have a clear, strong, reliable and credible partner on the Palestinian side” says Toameh. According to him: “Abbas is not a partner. He and Fayaad might be nice guys with good intentions – but they cannot deliver. So the PA are not partners because they cannot deliver and Hamas are not partners because they don’t want to be partners.”
Addressing the issue of whether there was a clear and credible partner on the Israeli side, Toameh said:
I don’t care who is in government in Israel. There is a partner. And my partner is the Jewish people. Why? Because a majority of Jews have already accepted a 2 state solution. I see a majority of Jews who don’t care anymore about Gaza. I see a majority of Jews who want to disengage from the Palestinians. I see a majority of Jews over the last 15 years marching toward moderation and pragmatism. I don’t know today of one Jewish mother that wants to send her son back to the streets of Ramallah or Gaza. I don’t know of one Jew who wants to control the lives of the Palestinians and run their education and health system. Sadly though, while the Jewish public has been marching towards pragmatism and realism and moderation, on the Arab side the message remains no, no and no.
In an incredibly candid address, for me perhaps the most defining statement Toameh made was when I asked him – would you rather continue living as a member of a minority in Israel or move to another Arab country? Toameh’s response was simple, honest and telling:
Israel is a free and open democratic country. I enjoy living here and I would rather live as a second class citizen in Israel, even though I’m not, than a first class citizen in any Arab country.
In a world where it’s all too easy to turn a blind eye to courage, Khaled Abu Toameh is a welcome breath of fresh air. A man, deeply committed to peace, who is seen as a traitor by many and who bravely continues to put his own life on the line each day, Toameh perhaps says it best himself:
I’m not pro-Israel, I’m not pro-Palestinian and I’m not pro-American. But as a journalist, I’m pro the facts and pro the truth.

Asked what he thought was the essence of the conflict, Toameh said it was not about money or even settlements, as many so called pundits often imply, as a precursor to blaming Israel. Rather, his answer was very simple: “This conflict is about Israel’s very existence in this part of the world.”
But before you get any conclusions, Toameh is not a card carrying Zionist or as somebody once asked him “when did you get on the Israel lobby payroll”. In his own words, he says:
I’m not pro-Israel, I’m not pro-Palestinian and I’m not pro-American. But as a journalist, I’m pro the facts and pro the truth.
Here are some of Toameh’s illuminating comments:
I asked Toameh how, as an Arab Muslim Israeli, he responds to accusations that Israel is an apartheid state.
His response:
Israel is not an apartheid state. But there are problems and some discrimination with the Arab minority inside Israel. If Israel were an apartheid state, I, for example, would not be allowed to work for a Jewish newspaper or live in a Jewish neighborhood or own a home. The real apartheid is in Lebanon, where there is a law that bans Palestinians from working in over 50 professions. Can you imagine if the Knesset passed a law banning Arabs from working even in one profession? The real apartheid is also in many Arab and Muslim nations, like Kuwait, where my Palestinian uncle, who has been living there for 35 years is banned from buying a house. The law of Israel does not distinguish between a Jew and an Arab.
As for the uniqueness of the Israeli media in the middle East, Toameh added:
Israel is a free and open country with a democracy, that respects the freedom of the media. You can basically write any anti-Israel story and still walk in downtown Jerusalem or Tel Aviv without having to worry about your safety. Anyone can be a journalist in Israel.
Toameh says he finds it ironic that as an Arab Muslim living in this part of the world, the only place he can express himself freely is in a ‘Jewish newspaper’, noting that:
We don’t have a free media in the Palestinian area, we didn’t have one when I was working there in the late 70’s and early 80’s, we didn’t have one when the PLO came here after the signing of the Oslo accords and we still don’t have one under Fatah and Hamas.
But what about the media’s need for an anti-Israeli angle on stories? Toameh says that when he tried to alert many of his foreign colleagues that Palestinians were dying because of an internal power struggle or gross corruption by Arafat and the Palestinian Authority, their reflex response was:
Where’s the anti-Israel angle to the story? Give us an anti-occupation story. Make our lives much easier. An Arab killing an Arab, that’s not a story for us.
Toameh notes that the same foreign journalists would then ask him: “are you on the payroll of the Israel lobby?” Do they [the Jews] pay you to say these things against Arafat and the PLO?’ Toameh’s response to them:
what do the Jews have to do with this? I’m telling you what the Palestinians are saying about there being corruption in the Palestinian Authority. I’m even telling you that the PA is saying that the PA is corrupt.
It is a sad reflection on the state of society, and in particular, the media industry, that not only are they not sufficiently concerned or outraged at the death of Arabs by Arabs (which coincidentally has claimed many more lives than the Israel – Palestinian conflict), but that they will only muster even an iota of concern if they can put in an ‘anti-Israel’ angle.
On the proposed loyalty oath as well, Toameh offered a pragmatic response: “I have no problem with it because it applies equally to both Jews and non-Jews alike.”
One of the biggest and most intractable sticking points has consistently been the Palestinian demand for a right of return, which Israel will not agree to because it would mean the death knell of Israel as a Jewish state.
However, Toameh offers a very simple and pragmatic three stage solution, where the Palestinian refugees could:
1. Go to the future Palestinian state;
2. Resettle elsewhere, including other Arab states; and
3. Be offered compensation.
Most tellingly though, and in a statement seldom ever heard from Arabs (or the West), Toameh then asked: “and what about Jewish refugees that were forced to flee Arab nations”, suggesting that the issue of Jewish refugees must also be part of any future solution.
Focusing on the problem from Arab dictatorships and their insistence on inciting their people against Israel, Toameh says that we have a problem in the West in failing to believe what people tell us.
If Hamas say they want to destroy you, you have no reason not to believe them. And if Ahmadinejad says he wants to destroy you, there’s no need to start analysing what he means by that. Stop fooling ourselves and if anyone thinks that Hamas will ever recognise Israel’s right to exist, you’re also living in an illusion. Take it from their mouth directly…the PLO however is different – they will tell you one thing in English and then another in Arabic.
On the subject of Arab dictatorship, Toameh says:
Arab dictators survive by constantly blaming the misery of their people on Jews and the West and never accepting responsibility for anything. And by inciting against Israel and the West, you divert attention from problems at home. Why? Because you always need to make sure that your people are busy hating someone else. If they’re not hating Israel and the West, they might wake up one day and come to you, and God forbid, demand reform and democracy.
The crux of the message is:
If you keep inciting your people, then they ask ‘well, why are we then making peace with the Jews?’ We should be killing them as Hamas is saying’.
So what does Toameh think about Mahmoud Abbas, the PA President?
Abbas is corrupt, discredited, weak and does not have much power. He is reliant on Israel, who’s presence in the West Bank is ironically the only reason he has managed to stay in power.
And if Israel withdrew to the 1967 borders as demanded by Abbas and the PLO:
Abbas will collapse and Hamas will take over the West Bank in less than a day. If I were Israel, I would not give Abbas one inch of land in the West Bank – not for ideological reasons, but to avoid a situation where Hamas and others would take over the area.
When we asked him how best to defeat the extremists, radicals and terrorists like Hamas and Hizbullah, Toameh answered:
The first and most important thing is you go to the Arab governments and tell them stop the incitement that’s feeding these radicals and driving people into their hands. Sometimes there’s no difference between what is written about Israel and the Jews in the papers in Egypt and Saudi Arabia with what is written by Hamas.
Noting again the billions of dollars in aid provided by the US and EU to various Arab dictatorships, Toameh says in other words, and even clearer, they should tell them: “Stop calling for my death with my money.”
I asked Toameh about what steps were needed to move forward. According to him, the answer is “very simple” and involves the following steps:
1) The Palestinians must start investing money (provided to them mainly by the US and EU) for the welfare of their people instead of incitement. Then dismantle all militias, establish a free press and democratic institutions, end the infighting, insist on good governance and speak with one voice so at least we know who we’re talking to. And then he suggests they should go speak with Israel and see what it has to offer them.
2) Deal with the enemies of peace – if you weaken the enemies of peace, like Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas, the moderates will rise and start speaking out. But as long as Iran is breathing down the neck and threatening, together with Hamas and Hizbullah, who are threatening to kill anyone who makes concessions, no moderate Arab will ever dare sign an agreement with Israel. Toameh says:
I don’t even rule out military action against any of them because this is the only language these guys understand. Talking to them and appeasing them is even more dangerous.
3) “We can’t move forward when you don’t have a clear, strong, reliable and credible partner on the Palestinian side” says Toameh. According to him: “Abbas is not a partner. He and Fayaad might be nice guys with good intentions – but they cannot deliver. So the PA are not partners because they cannot deliver and Hamas are not partners because they don’t want to be partners.”
Addressing the issue of whether there was a clear and credible partner on the Israeli side, Toameh said:
I don’t care who is in government in Israel. There is a partner. And my partner is the Jewish people. Why? Because a majority of Jews have already accepted a 2 state solution. I see a majority of Jews who don’t care anymore about Gaza. I see a majority of Jews who want to disengage from the Palestinians. I see a majority of Jews over the last 15 years marching toward moderation and pragmatism. I don’t know today of one Jewish mother that wants to send her son back to the streets of Ramallah or Gaza. I don’t know of one Jew who wants to control the lives of the Palestinians and run their education and health system. Sadly though, while the Jewish public has been marching towards pragmatism and realism and moderation, on the Arab side the message remains no, no and no.
In an incredibly candid address, for me perhaps the most defining statement Toameh made was when I asked him – would you rather continue living as a member of a minority in Israel or move to another Arab country? Toameh’s response was simple, honest and telling:
Israel is a free and open democratic country. I enjoy living here and I would rather live as a second class citizen in Israel, even though I’m not, than a first class citizen in any Arab country.
In a world where it’s all too easy to turn a blind eye to courage, Khaled Abu Toameh is a welcome breath of fresh air. A man, deeply committed to peace, who is seen as a traitor by many and who bravely continues to put his own life on the line each day, Toameh perhaps says it best himself:
I’m not pro-Israel, I’m not pro-Palestinian and I’m not pro-American. But as a journalist, I’m pro the facts and pro the truth.

Advanced International Certificate of Education
Sarasota School Program linked to George Soros, Communist China and Yasser Arafat?By rich swier | 11/22/10 | 6:35 PM EST | 2 Comments

I was part of an e-mail thread with the Sarasota County School Board staff about a new educational program being offered at Sarasota High School. The new program is titled the Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE). AICE offers an international diploma that students can earn via an advanced academic curriculum and assessment program written and administered by a non-profit department (CIE) of the University of Cambridge in England. This program is touted on the Florida Department of Education (FDOE) website. According to the FDOE:
The Advanced International Certificate of Education (AICE) Program is an international curriculum and examination program modeled on the British pre-college curriculum and "A-Level" exams. Florida's public community colleges and universities provide college credit for successfully passed exams. Students in Florida's public secondary schools enrolled in AICE courses do not have to pay to take the exams.
This all sounds so wonderful, that is until you go to the AICE website at the University of Cambridge and find out who are this programs partners.
There are six partners listed. I only looked into three of them - British Council, iNet and the Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization. From a cursory following of the links and some quick Google searches I found some disturbing information. I only wish the FDOE and our School Board would have done the same.
First let's look at British Council. When you search for the name Soros on the British Council website you get dozens of connections to guess who - George Soros and his Open Society Foundations. Just one of these programs provides scholarships available at British Council offices in places like Amman, Jordan, Tbilisi, Georgia, Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan and Damascus, Syria.
Now let's research iNet. Well iNet, according to their brochure primarily works with Communist China. iNet "focuses on school transformation around the world." iNet has three offices located in London, Beijing and Melbourne, Australia.
Finally, we have Talal Abu Ghazaleh Organization. According to the Middle East Forum, Talal Abu Ghazaleh International was the audit firm for the Palestine International Bank (PIB). In an article by Issam Abu Issa in the Middle East Quarterly titled, "Arafat's Swiss Bank Account":
"Rather than use donor funds for their intended purposes, Arafat regularly diverted money [from PIB] to his own accounts. It is amazing that some U.S. officials still see the Palestinian Authority as a partner even after U.S. congressional records revealed authenticated PLO papers signed by Arafat in which he instructed his staff to divert donors' money to projects benefiting himself, his family, and his associates. . .The PLC investigated the seizure of the bank after I lodged a complaint in 2000 about the PIB's unlawful takeover. The PMA governor then threatened the [PIB] bank's auditing firm, Talal Abu Ghazaleh International (TAGI), for revealing facts and figures that implicated the Palestinian leadership." [My emphasis]
So there you have it. Fifteen minutes of work to connect this new program touted by the Florida Department of Education and Sarasota County School Board to George Soro's Open Society Foundations, Communist China and last but not least Yasser Arafat.
Maybe the School Board needs a lesson in how to Google the organizations they associate our kids with? What do you think?

Rebuttal to PARVEZ AHMED OP ED in FL Times
Mr William S. Morris IVPresident & CEOMorris Publishing Group Dear Mr Morris:
This letter must be read in Rich Text (HTML) in order to utilize the imbedded links.
The recent Parvez Ahmed OpEd in the Florida Times-Union begins as an essay on US-India economic affairs, but wastes no time injecting make-believe Muslim grievances.
This is to be expected, since Mr Ahmed is an Islamic missionary. However, the Times-Union should know better – by now you know that Hamas-linked Ahmed is fulfilling the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal of “strengthening [Hamas’] influence . . . by infiltrating the American media outlets, universities and research centers” (transcribed from the FBI wiretaps); he is doing well on all counts, and, with your conscious assistance, is using the Times-Union as his propaganda tool.
Mr Ahmed begins his article on-topic, but then descends into Islamic grievance – the constant torment of the unhappy Muslim psyche. Grievance, real or imagined, is a compulsory element of all Ahmed articles. Here are examples:
· “Obama did not visit the [Sikh] Temple . . . fear[ing] that a head covering would further fuel . . . persistent rumors that he is a Muslim. Caving into fear-mongers only emboldens them.”
Reply. Mr Ahmed claims that this conjecture is fact. However, we have no idea why Obama skipped the Sikh temple (just as the cost of the Obama excursion is unknown, as Ahmed points out). And, Team Obama certainly would never offer the reason Mr Ahmed claims. This is merely an opportunity to fabricate a Muslim grievance.
Ahmed could have addressed a real affront: Obama shunned the Jewish Chabad House whose inhabitants were among the few Americans butchered by Muslims during the 2008 Mumbai attack. And, Mr Ahmed could have mentioned that, in India and in Pakistan, his Sunni Muslim sect persecutes the Ahmadiyya (Ahmadi) Muslim sect – that is factual, and a true grievance.
· “Sikhs . . . have been targets of anti-Muslim discrimination in the U.S. A few days after Sept. 11, 2001, a Sikh-American was killed in Arizona by a man who mistook him for a Muslim.”
Reply. The events surrounding Mr Balbir Singh Sodhi’s death are described correctly. Nevertheless, in this nation of 350 million people, such occasions are rare. According to the latest FBI hate crime statistics, there were 1,732 offenses motivated by religious bias in 2008. Of those, 66.1 percent targeted Jews; 8.7 percent targeted Christians, and 7.5 percent targeted Muslims.
American Jews were 9 times more likely to be victims of hate crimes than Muslims. Yet, no Jewish economist would ever commandeer a professional Times-Union forum to denounce grievances against his ethnic group (as Mr Ahmed does).
In addition, crimes against Muslims have declined dramatically since 911. A 2008 survey by Human Rights First, entitled “Violence Against Muslims”, found only two assaults based on anti-Muslim sentiment in 2007 and 2008. Nearly all "backlash" against Muslims, following acts of domestic Islamic terrorism, has consisted of unkind blog postings, added scrutiny of mosques and enhanced airport security.
Even the Sikh Coalition, which encourages the reporting of anti-Sikh “hate crimes”, cites relatively few violent events since 1975 – most acts are perceived harassment. The Sikh Coalition records can be searched at http://www.sikhcoalition.org/ListReports.asp. Mr Ahmed is, of course, a Muslim missionary, and Islamic grievance is his bread and butter.
In Europe, most attacks against Jews are perpetrated by Muslims. Entire Jewish communities are fleeing Muslim-caused assaults, depopulating whole Jewish neighborhoods. And, often the news agencies censor the Islamic ethnicity of the perpetrators. The European pattern will occur here. The new anti-Semitism is transported to Europe by means of the new wave of Middle East immigration, which is coming this way.
· “Many Muslims took refuge during their arduous migration to Pakistan.”
Reply. Of course, this is a biased Muslim perspective. A similar number of non-Muslims suffered during the migration. And, the cause of the Partition and subsequent migration can be placed squarely upon the shoulders of Muslims, who opposed the leadership of the India independence movement. Gandhi and his adherents struggled to avoid Partition, and, in the process, enraging both Hindu Nationalists and Indian Muslim nationalists. Gandhi was assassinated soon after Partition by a Hindu nationalist, who believed that Gandhi had appeased Muslims at the cost of Hindus.
· “Prior to colonial rule, India was the world's economic superpower.”
I have a small point to make regarding this Angus Maddison theorem. Please refer to the Post Script.
Former CAIR chairman Parvez Ahmed LIED to your editorial board (an Islamic mandate called “taqiyya”) during your staff’s three-hour meeting with him – the meeting which endorsed his appointment to the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission.
Your related editorial reports Mr Ahmed’s deceit: “Ahmed denies he has supported terrorism or advocated violence in any way, either before, during or after his involvement with CAIR” (emphasis added). On the contrary, Mr Ahmed, a CAIR leader since the mid-1990’s, and national chairman of CAIR (a Muslim Brotherhood organization), has defended terrorists with zeal.
During the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trials, in 2007 and 2008, he defended the criminals (who were later convicted on all 108 counts), stating: "The case against HLF was a political witch-hunt that had nothing to do with America's security”. According to Ahmed, the HLF trial was a "classic case of guilt by association [a false argument he uses in his own local defense] and a political vendetta against American [Muslim] citizens to carry out the agenda of a special interest group, the Israel Lobby." CAIR, which Parvez Ahmed led as Chairman during the two trials, was a co-conspirator in the Hamas-funding conspiracy, which, according to the Court, was an “ unlawful conspiracy . . . from which CAIR never withdrew”.
Further, Parvez Ahmed sought to defend the conspirators by means of his Hungry for Justice organization, which he co-founded and for which he served as media contact. Mr Ahmed was not a novice to CAIR and its operations. He joined in the early 1990’s, knew of CAIR’s origins, and knew well its founders: Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad, both of whom were present at CAIR’s 1993 founding meeting with Hamas leaders (in fact, Ahmed replaced Omar Ahmad as the organization’s second national chairman). The 25-member gathering, including both Ahmad and Awad, represented, according to the FBI, “a meeting . . . among senior members of Hamas, the HLFDR and IAP [Islamic Association for Palestine]”. A FBI analysis noted: “all attendees of this [1993 Philadelphia] meeting are Hamas members”.
CAIR founder Nihad Awad in a 2000 AMEU article (who collaborated with Parvez Ahmed) admits to the IAP (and thus Hamas) origins of CAIR. Awad describes how he “worked closely with IAP president Omar Ahmad”; how “Ibrahim Hooper . . . join[ed] the project”, and how together they “open[ed] the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) . . . in June 1994.” More on CAIR’s Hamas origins at the Investigative Project on Terrorism and at CAIR Observatory, a division of the prestigious Center of Security Policy.
According to retired FBI special agent John Vincent, “There is no question CAIR funds Hamas”. A new report maintains that CAIR's national organization in late 1995 contributed at least $40,000 to a Holy Land Foundation (HLF) subsidiary, InfoCom Corp, just months before HLF wired exactly $40,000 to the Islamic Relief Committee, a conduit to Hamas in the Palestinian territories.
Only the Times-Union and the ultra-liberal Huffington Post regularly run Mr Ahmed’s essays. Mr Ahmed is a charming fellow, and he likely has had many meetings and direct conversations with your staff, to gain its trust. He is charming, because that is his job as an Islamic missionary.
It is clear that Mr Ahmed has become an informal member of the editorial staff. And, the Times-Union staff assists Mr Ahmed in “infiltrating the American media outlets” by sanitized his background – hiding his enormously significant CAIR and Hamas connections, and the fact that he is a Muslim missionary. This furtiveness is unprofessional, subversive journalism, and it needs a full evaluation within the local and parent Morris staffs. There is just so much of this Leftist activism and deception that your readers will tolerate before they cancel their subscriptions.
Best Regards,
Post Script. A point of clarification. Ahmed condemns colonialism (and the West, of course) by stating: “Prior to colonial rule, India was the world's economic superpower”. No doubt, colonialism of itself was not a good thing. However, bad institutions sometimes produce significant worthwhile results for the subject peoples, as in the case of Rome’s subjugation of Gaul which benefited from the Pax Romana which followed (and enjoys those benefits till the present time).
Colonialism was the unexpected vehicle which brought to India the blessings of Western civilization, among them the language of freedom – and the tools by which Indians were encouraged to rebel against the British, and eventually gained independence. The Indian leaders were products of Western Civilization. Gandhi studied in England and South Africa; Nehru, India’s first prime minister, was a product of Harrow and Cambridge. By exposing Indians to the ideas of the West, British colonialism prepared India for the global economy and the freedoms of the 21st century.
A common language, roads, shipping docks, railroads, irrigation systems, and government buildings were all British legacies, as well as the British legal system, with all its procedural novelties, like "innocent until proven guilty".
The colonialists brought things to India that have immeasurably enriched the lives of the descendants of colonialism. It is doubtful that India would have acquired those good things by themselves or as quickly. It was the British who, applying a universal notion of human rights, in the early 19th century abolished the ancient Indian institution of suttee – the custom of tossing widows on their husbands' funeral pyres.
Most of the British (and thus Indian) social thought was derived from Christian values. In contrast to the Hindu caste system, Christianity's precept of "universal brotherhood" altered the Indian psyche.
In contrast, Islam adopted Western thought for only a brief 90-year period, during the Mu’tazilah episode of the 9th century, when books of Western philosophy were captured during Islamic conquest, and their ideas adopted. Then, after this short time, Islam banned Mu’tazilah philosophy upon pain of death, and abandoned Western thought forever (as did Pakistan a millennium later).
Contrast India with Pakistan (or Israel with the remainder of the Middle East), and there you have a revealing laboratory experiment: Peoples of the same or similar origins, but different religions. The Outcome: The backwardness of Islamic nations versus the freedom, progress and prosperity of the West.
Of course, missionaries like Parvez Ahmed will complain that this backwardness is caused by a West determined to undermine Islam – with foreign occupations, neglect, affronts to Islamic ideology, personages and literature, and Islamophobia – the never-ending train of grievances from an unhappy people (and unhappy people are predisposed to evil and violence).
A sampling of the West vs Islam disparity (upon request I will send all source links):
· Despite their oil wealth the gross domestic product (GDP) of the 22 Arab nations combined is little more than that of Spain (the smallest economy in Europe), and less than half that of Italy. Italy has 55 million people, whereas Arabs number 300 million.
· The illiteracy rate in the Arab world is higher than that of the backward developing world, and more than three times higher than that of Latin America and the Caribbean. And, illiteracy in the Arab world is increasing.
· In the entire Arab world approximately 330 books are translated into Arabic each year, whereas little Greece translates over 1,500 books into Greek, and Spain translates 100,000 books into Spanish, each year.
· Scientific research and technical developments in the Arab world are less than one percent of the world’s total. Between 1980 and 2000, a total of 370 technology patents were granted to the entire Arab world, while South Korea alone was awarded over 16,000 patents during the same period.
· Although Muslims represent 25 percent of earth’s population, Muslims have won only two Nobel Prizes for science. Jews, which represent 0.2 percent of the world’s population, have been awarded one-fourth of all Nobel science prizes. The entire Muslim world contributes barely 1,000 research articles out of a total 2,000,000 research articles published each year.
· What of Islam’s “historic contribution to science . . . math and engineering”, claimed by the Obama administration? NASA Administrator was instructed by the president to help Muslims “feel good” about their historic contributions to technical.
But, the evidence suggests a minuscule contribution. Toby E. Huff, chancellor professor of policy studies at University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and author of studies in the rise of science, writes: “Islamic science was almost totally dependent upon translations, frequently made by non-Muslims of the achievements of pre-Islamic cultures, Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, etc. Moreover, a striking number of Muslim thinkers were Persians who owed more of their pre-Islamic heritage than they did to Islam.”
Professor Stanley L. Jaki, author of many books on science, observes that Islamic additions to the Greek body of scientific knowledge were “never substantial.” David Storobik, editor of Global Politician, the journal of international politics, has stated: “[It is] an historical fact that the scientific revolution happened in Europe, not India, China, or the Middle East. There was also nothing quite like the medieval university in the Roman Empire. Whatever existed of real science in Roman times was almost entirely of Greek origin. The medieval [European] University then represented a real innovation.”
· Take away their oil exports (which the West discovered and developed), and what does the Arab world export other than terrorism, suicide bombers and grief – and the celebrations of the deaths of Americans and Jews. While the West pursues labor-saving technology, cures for dreadful diseases and the rescue of earthquake and tsunami victims, oil-rich Saudi sheikhs, instead of alleviating suffering, spend millions on self-aggrandizing mosques, Islamic schools and higher education centers which promote a radical ideology which threatens to cause vast destruction in the Western world.
Education centers? Arab museums, such as the Palestinian Museum at al-Najah University in Nablus, display pictures of savagely mutilated bodies and severed heads in pools of blood, and show videos that glamorize booby traps, spilled blood, and martyrs enjoying the bliss of heaven. The Middle East is lagging behind, not because Arabs are created unequal in God’s eyes. It is lagging because of social and religious values.

The recent Parvez Ahmed OpEd in the Florida Times-Union begins as an essay on US-India economic affairs, but wastes no time injecting make-believe Muslim grievances.
This is to be expected, since Mr Ahmed is an Islamic missionary. However, the Times-Union should know better – by now you know that Hamas-linked Ahmed is fulfilling the Muslim Brotherhood’s goal of “strengthening [Hamas’] influence . . . by infiltrating the American media outlets, universities and research centers” (transcribed from the FBI wiretaps); he is doing well on all counts, and, with your conscious assistance, is using the Times-Union as his propaganda tool.
Mr Ahmed begins his article on-topic, but then descends into Islamic grievance – the constant torment of the unhappy Muslim psyche. Grievance, real or imagined, is a compulsory element of all Ahmed articles. Here are examples:
· “Obama did not visit the [Sikh] Temple . . . fear[ing] that a head covering would further fuel . . . persistent rumors that he is a Muslim. Caving into fear-mongers only emboldens them.”
Reply. Mr Ahmed claims that this conjecture is fact. However, we have no idea why Obama skipped the Sikh temple (just as the cost of the Obama excursion is unknown, as Ahmed points out). And, Team Obama certainly would never offer the reason Mr Ahmed claims. This is merely an opportunity to fabricate a Muslim grievance.
Ahmed could have addressed a real affront: Obama shunned the Jewish Chabad House whose inhabitants were among the few Americans butchered by Muslims during the 2008 Mumbai attack. And, Mr Ahmed could have mentioned that, in India and in Pakistan, his Sunni Muslim sect persecutes the Ahmadiyya (Ahmadi) Muslim sect – that is factual, and a true grievance.
· “Sikhs . . . have been targets of anti-Muslim discrimination in the U.S. A few days after Sept. 11, 2001, a Sikh-American was killed in Arizona by a man who mistook him for a Muslim.”
Reply. The events surrounding Mr Balbir Singh Sodhi’s death are described correctly. Nevertheless, in this nation of 350 million people, such occasions are rare. According to the latest FBI hate crime statistics, there were 1,732 offenses motivated by religious bias in 2008. Of those, 66.1 percent targeted Jews; 8.7 percent targeted Christians, and 7.5 percent targeted Muslims.
American Jews were 9 times more likely to be victims of hate crimes than Muslims. Yet, no Jewish economist would ever commandeer a professional Times-Union forum to denounce grievances against his ethnic group (as Mr Ahmed does).
In addition, crimes against Muslims have declined dramatically since 911. A 2008 survey by Human Rights First, entitled “Violence Against Muslims”, found only two assaults based on anti-Muslim sentiment in 2007 and 2008. Nearly all "backlash" against Muslims, following acts of domestic Islamic terrorism, has consisted of unkind blog postings, added scrutiny of mosques and enhanced airport security.
Even the Sikh Coalition, which encourages the reporting of anti-Sikh “hate crimes”, cites relatively few violent events since 1975 – most acts are perceived harassment. The Sikh Coalition records can be searched at http://www.sikhcoalition.org/ListReports.asp. Mr Ahmed is, of course, a Muslim missionary, and Islamic grievance is his bread and butter.
In Europe, most attacks against Jews are perpetrated by Muslims. Entire Jewish communities are fleeing Muslim-caused assaults, depopulating whole Jewish neighborhoods. And, often the news agencies censor the Islamic ethnicity of the perpetrators. The European pattern will occur here. The new anti-Semitism is transported to Europe by means of the new wave of Middle East immigration, which is coming this way.
· “Many Muslims took refuge during their arduous migration to Pakistan.”
Reply. Of course, this is a biased Muslim perspective. A similar number of non-Muslims suffered during the migration. And, the cause of the Partition and subsequent migration can be placed squarely upon the shoulders of Muslims, who opposed the leadership of the India independence movement. Gandhi and his adherents struggled to avoid Partition, and, in the process, enraging both Hindu Nationalists and Indian Muslim nationalists. Gandhi was assassinated soon after Partition by a Hindu nationalist, who believed that Gandhi had appeased Muslims at the cost of Hindus.
· “Prior to colonial rule, India was the world's economic superpower.”
I have a small point to make regarding this Angus Maddison theorem. Please refer to the Post Script.
Former CAIR chairman Parvez Ahmed LIED to your editorial board (an Islamic mandate called “taqiyya”) during your staff’s three-hour meeting with him – the meeting which endorsed his appointment to the Jacksonville Human Rights Commission.
Your related editorial reports Mr Ahmed’s deceit: “Ahmed denies he has supported terrorism or advocated violence in any way, either before, during or after his involvement with CAIR” (emphasis added). On the contrary, Mr Ahmed, a CAIR leader since the mid-1990’s, and national chairman of CAIR (a Muslim Brotherhood organization), has defended terrorists with zeal.
During the Holy Land Foundation (HLF) trials, in 2007 and 2008, he defended the criminals (who were later convicted on all 108 counts), stating: "The case against HLF was a political witch-hunt that had nothing to do with America's security”. According to Ahmed, the HLF trial was a "classic case of guilt by association [a false argument he uses in his own local defense] and a political vendetta against American [Muslim] citizens to carry out the agenda of a special interest group, the Israel Lobby." CAIR, which Parvez Ahmed led as Chairman during the two trials, was a co-conspirator in the Hamas-funding conspiracy, which, according to the Court, was an “ unlawful conspiracy . . . from which CAIR never withdrew”.
Further, Parvez Ahmed sought to defend the conspirators by means of his Hungry for Justice organization, which he co-founded and for which he served as media contact. Mr Ahmed was not a novice to CAIR and its operations. He joined in the early 1990’s, knew of CAIR’s origins, and knew well its founders: Omar Ahmad and Nihad Awad, both of whom were present at CAIR’s 1993 founding meeting with Hamas leaders (in fact, Ahmed replaced Omar Ahmad as the organization’s second national chairman). The 25-member gathering, including both Ahmad and Awad, represented, according to the FBI, “a meeting . . . among senior members of Hamas, the HLFDR and IAP [Islamic Association for Palestine]”. A FBI analysis noted: “all attendees of this [1993 Philadelphia] meeting are Hamas members”.
CAIR founder Nihad Awad in a 2000 AMEU article (who collaborated with Parvez Ahmed) admits to the IAP (and thus Hamas) origins of CAIR. Awad describes how he “worked closely with IAP president Omar Ahmad”; how “Ibrahim Hooper . . . join[ed] the project”, and how together they “open[ed] the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) . . . in June 1994.” More on CAIR’s Hamas origins at the Investigative Project on Terrorism and at CAIR Observatory, a division of the prestigious Center of Security Policy.
According to retired FBI special agent John Vincent, “There is no question CAIR funds Hamas”. A new report maintains that CAIR's national organization in late 1995 contributed at least $40,000 to a Holy Land Foundation (HLF) subsidiary, InfoCom Corp, just months before HLF wired exactly $40,000 to the Islamic Relief Committee, a conduit to Hamas in the Palestinian territories.
Only the Times-Union and the ultra-liberal Huffington Post regularly run Mr Ahmed’s essays. Mr Ahmed is a charming fellow, and he likely has had many meetings and direct conversations with your staff, to gain its trust. He is charming, because that is his job as an Islamic missionary.
It is clear that Mr Ahmed has become an informal member of the editorial staff. And, the Times-Union staff assists Mr Ahmed in “infiltrating the American media outlets” by sanitized his background – hiding his enormously significant CAIR and Hamas connections, and the fact that he is a Muslim missionary. This furtiveness is unprofessional, subversive journalism, and it needs a full evaluation within the local and parent Morris staffs. There is just so much of this Leftist activism and deception that your readers will tolerate before they cancel their subscriptions.
Best Regards,
Post Script. A point of clarification. Ahmed condemns colonialism (and the West, of course) by stating: “Prior to colonial rule, India was the world's economic superpower”. No doubt, colonialism of itself was not a good thing. However, bad institutions sometimes produce significant worthwhile results for the subject peoples, as in the case of Rome’s subjugation of Gaul which benefited from the Pax Romana which followed (and enjoys those benefits till the present time).
Colonialism was the unexpected vehicle which brought to India the blessings of Western civilization, among them the language of freedom – and the tools by which Indians were encouraged to rebel against the British, and eventually gained independence. The Indian leaders were products of Western Civilization. Gandhi studied in England and South Africa; Nehru, India’s first prime minister, was a product of Harrow and Cambridge. By exposing Indians to the ideas of the West, British colonialism prepared India for the global economy and the freedoms of the 21st century.
A common language, roads, shipping docks, railroads, irrigation systems, and government buildings were all British legacies, as well as the British legal system, with all its procedural novelties, like "innocent until proven guilty".
The colonialists brought things to India that have immeasurably enriched the lives of the descendants of colonialism. It is doubtful that India would have acquired those good things by themselves or as quickly. It was the British who, applying a universal notion of human rights, in the early 19th century abolished the ancient Indian institution of suttee – the custom of tossing widows on their husbands' funeral pyres.
Most of the British (and thus Indian) social thought was derived from Christian values. In contrast to the Hindu caste system, Christianity's precept of "universal brotherhood" altered the Indian psyche.
In contrast, Islam adopted Western thought for only a brief 90-year period, during the Mu’tazilah episode of the 9th century, when books of Western philosophy were captured during Islamic conquest, and their ideas adopted. Then, after this short time, Islam banned Mu’tazilah philosophy upon pain of death, and abandoned Western thought forever (as did Pakistan a millennium later).
Contrast India with Pakistan (or Israel with the remainder of the Middle East), and there you have a revealing laboratory experiment: Peoples of the same or similar origins, but different religions. The Outcome: The backwardness of Islamic nations versus the freedom, progress and prosperity of the West.
Of course, missionaries like Parvez Ahmed will complain that this backwardness is caused by a West determined to undermine Islam – with foreign occupations, neglect, affronts to Islamic ideology, personages and literature, and Islamophobia – the never-ending train of grievances from an unhappy people (and unhappy people are predisposed to evil and violence).
A sampling of the West vs Islam disparity (upon request I will send all source links):
· Despite their oil wealth the gross domestic product (GDP) of the 22 Arab nations combined is little more than that of Spain (the smallest economy in Europe), and less than half that of Italy. Italy has 55 million people, whereas Arabs number 300 million.
· The illiteracy rate in the Arab world is higher than that of the backward developing world, and more than three times higher than that of Latin America and the Caribbean. And, illiteracy in the Arab world is increasing.
· In the entire Arab world approximately 330 books are translated into Arabic each year, whereas little Greece translates over 1,500 books into Greek, and Spain translates 100,000 books into Spanish, each year.
· Scientific research and technical developments in the Arab world are less than one percent of the world’s total. Between 1980 and 2000, a total of 370 technology patents were granted to the entire Arab world, while South Korea alone was awarded over 16,000 patents during the same period.
· Although Muslims represent 25 percent of earth’s population, Muslims have won only two Nobel Prizes for science. Jews, which represent 0.2 percent of the world’s population, have been awarded one-fourth of all Nobel science prizes. The entire Muslim world contributes barely 1,000 research articles out of a total 2,000,000 research articles published each year.
· What of Islam’s “historic contribution to science . . . math and engineering”, claimed by the Obama administration? NASA Administrator was instructed by the president to help Muslims “feel good” about their historic contributions to technical.
But, the evidence suggests a minuscule contribution. Toby E. Huff, chancellor professor of policy studies at University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth, and author of studies in the rise of science, writes: “Islamic science was almost totally dependent upon translations, frequently made by non-Muslims of the achievements of pre-Islamic cultures, Greeks, Egyptians, Indians, etc. Moreover, a striking number of Muslim thinkers were Persians who owed more of their pre-Islamic heritage than they did to Islam.”
Professor Stanley L. Jaki, author of many books on science, observes that Islamic additions to the Greek body of scientific knowledge were “never substantial.” David Storobik, editor of Global Politician, the journal of international politics, has stated: “[It is] an historical fact that the scientific revolution happened in Europe, not India, China, or the Middle East. There was also nothing quite like the medieval university in the Roman Empire. Whatever existed of real science in Roman times was almost entirely of Greek origin. The medieval [European] University then represented a real innovation.”
· Take away their oil exports (which the West discovered and developed), and what does the Arab world export other than terrorism, suicide bombers and grief – and the celebrations of the deaths of Americans and Jews. While the West pursues labor-saving technology, cures for dreadful diseases and the rescue of earthquake and tsunami victims, oil-rich Saudi sheikhs, instead of alleviating suffering, spend millions on self-aggrandizing mosques, Islamic schools and higher education centers which promote a radical ideology which threatens to cause vast destruction in the Western world.
Education centers? Arab museums, such as the Palestinian Museum at al-Najah University in Nablus, display pictures of savagely mutilated bodies and severed heads in pools of blood, and show videos that glamorize booby traps, spilled blood, and martyrs enjoying the bliss of heaven. The Middle East is lagging behind, not because Arabs are created unequal in God’s eyes. It is lagging because of social and religious values.

DHS, Dearborn PD Invite CAIR to "Countering Violent Extremism" Workshop :: The Investigative Project on Terrorism
Unbelievable and unconscionable...especially when the FBI severed all ties with CAIR in 2009 because of their status as a Co-conspirator in the largest terrorism funding casing in U.S. history (U.S. vs HLF Tial of 2008). Ghasshin Elashi, CAIR director in Texas was sentence to 65 years in prison for his role in the case.
Omar Ahmad, former National Chairman of CAIR was to be prosecuted in spring of 2010, but Eric Holder of the Obama administration, decided to not prosecute Omar and 9 other defendants of over 300 named, despite the successful trial, convictions and a mountain of evidence.
Noteworthy is the fact that Jacksonville Human Rights Commissioner and UNF Professor Parvez Ahmed, replaced Omar Ahmad as the National Chairman of CAIR (4) years prior to the U.S. vs. HLF trial, and only resigned a few months prior to the trial. CAIR and Parvez are part of a current Federal Grand Jury investigation into a myriad of illegal activity. Omar Ahmad was replace by Parvez Ahmed after the following quote was made public "Islam is not in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to be dominant. The Quran should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only religion on earth".
