Imam Zaid Shakir, a Muslim scholar and teacher, plans to soon open Zaytuna Institute, an American Muslim think-tank/educational institution.

They’re calling it the “Muslim GeorgeTown”. heh…

I took one look at Imam Zaid Shakir’s blog, and yup, he’s a political Islam activist who blames the US for creating hatred by invading Muslim lands blah blah blah…This guy does not have America’s best interest at heart, and I’d be damned if I saw this guy defend the American Constitution as it was written as well as what he would do in a response to another 9-11 attack by radical Muslims…

I’d also like to sit in on a Political Science course or an American History course and see the curriculum.  How long will it be before we discover the “moderate”  curriculum within these classrooms  promoting Political Islam and teaching students that the American Constitution is fundamentally flawed and that it should be remade to accomodate more Islamic laws?

This is just another arm of the political enemy we face…non violent political activists promoting political Islam in the American landscape.

PLAINSBORO, N.J. —  A group of American Muslims, led by two prominent scholars, is moving closer to fulfilling a vision of founding the first four-year accredited Islamic college in the United States, what some are calling a “Muslim Georgetown.”

Advisers to the project have scheduled a June vote to decide whether the proposed Zaytuna College can open in the fall of next year, a major step toward developing the faith in America.

Imam Zaid Shakir and Sheik Hamza Yusuf of California have spent years planning the school, which will offer a liberal arts education and training in Islamic scholarship. Shakir, a California native, sees the school in the tradition of other religious groups that formed universities to educate leaders and carve a space in the mainstream of American life.

“As a faith community our needs aren’t any different than the needs of any other faith community,” Shakir told the Council for the Advancement of Muslim Professionals, as he sought donations at a recent conference near Princeton, N.J. “As Muslims, we need to develop institutions to allow us to perpetuate our values.”

Others have tried to start Muslim colleges around New York and Chicago, but those schools remained obscure or quickly folded.

Let me repeat, anyone who wishes to undermine the nature of the Declaration of Independence and The American Constitution is an enemy of America.  Immigrants or natives who’s goal is to CHANGE America rather than live under our founding laws are not real Americans, but enemies of the United States.

    The government hasn't followed the Constitution for decades, what are you talking about people starting to undermine it now? Allowing the executive branch the power to start war, the privatized Federal Reserve, a federal government so centralized and far-reaching that it has literally put us trillion dollars in debt due to things like having troops in 130 different natons, where are these rights found in the Constitution?

    Oh, you must also support the use of the "general welfare" clause to encompass any damn thing the federal government sees fit to do with it's debt-enslaved population, huh?

    Shut your mouth and open your eyes, not everyone with an Arab name and Islamic beliefs is a terorist wanting to dismantle America, you prick.

    TRAVIS:
    " Shut your mouth and open your eyes, not everyone with an Arab name and Islamic beliefs is a terorist wanting to dismantle America, you prick."

    THE BAD :

    I 'll politely decline your gentle advice,Sir,for I humbly disagree with your
    assessment,due its sheer lack of veracity.

    *************************************************
    THE GOOD:

    Your first thoughts about the centralization of the American government,though,I
    shall admit that they're quite close to the truth.I agree with you on that concise comment.
    Spending is a very dangerous thing for ANY responsible individual,municipality,state and country.For this,I always vote on candidates imbued with a fiscally responsible spirit and
    willing to make budget cuts.I will NEVER vote for reckless spending here in Brazil,where,by the way,there's a LAW against mayors,governors or the PRESIDENT who has the nerve to spend what it doesn't is included in the budget.
  • Travis
    too funny
  • JEWHAWK
    "too funny"

    Travis,could you elaborate on that rather short comment ?
  • just means his argument was flatly debunked and he's fishing for some intelligent rebuttal but can't find one.
  • SirWilhelm
    "The United States Constitution contains two references to "the General Welfare", one occurring in the Preamble and the other in the Taxing and Spending Clause. However, it is only the latter that is referred to as the "General Welfare Clause" of this document. Unlike most General Welfare clauses, however, the clause in the U.S. Constitution has been interpreted as a limitation on the power of the United States Congress to use its powers of taxing and spending." Is the "general welfare" you're refering too? If so, you don't seem to understand it. If not, you should explain what you mean.

    And no, not everyone with an Arab name and Islamic beliefs is necessarily a terrorist, but anyone of them is a POTENTIAL terrorist. Just look at some of the people that have been homicide bombers elsewhere; women, children, handicapped even a woman holding the hand of her child as she blew herself up, and you might see, if you've not totally blinded yourself, that there is no telling with them. And just because it hasn't happned it the US yet, doesn't mean it never will, 911 should have taught you that.
  • Alright Travis, let's break this down for a second.

    First, The President (Executive Branch) is the Commander in Chief of the armed forces and has always had the power of executive order to use the military to protect this country from both foreign and domestic threats. That's number 1. Read the Constitution. If you were right, then all military conflicts since WW2 would be "illegal" since Congress hasn't formally declared war since then.

    Number two, we're not "trillions in debt" because of having troops based around the globe to protect both our interests and to protect our allies. We have shed more blood and more tears than any other country because it's in our greater interest and our allies greater interest to fight evil abroad (totalitarianism, fascism, communism and now terrorism). To put it simply, we protect our allies and they NEED us.

    Furthermore, we're actually in "trillions of debt" because of Barack Obama and the Democrat Party. If you don't believe me, look at the national debt as a percentage of GDP on average over the last 50 years. Know what it's been? on average right around 40%. Even under the Bush administration, this stayed firm even though Bush inherited a recession from Clinton and was in the midst of two wars. Obama has quadrupled the national deficit in just a couple months. QUADRUPLED! Don't talk to me about debt's that have averaged out over the last 50 years, and then NOT talk about the outrageous actions of this President. The Congressional Budget Office, a non-partisan group, has estimated The 2010-19 deficits would total $9.3 trillion; the debt-to-GDP ratio in 2019 would be 82 percent. So from the Bush years which averaged 41% up to 80% under Obama over the next 10 years, you have one of the most radical Administrations to ever take hold of the Oval office, and to go along with that one of the most radical Congresses ever put into power. We haven't seen debt like this since the 50's.

    Your third point about "general welfare". I don't know what you're getting at but I'm a Reagan Conservative and I am vehemently opposed to the soup kitchen of the welfare state. I want less gov't, not more. I want empowerment of the people, not enslavement.

    Your last point, my eyes are already wide open, and I'm well aware of the threats we face, and no I won't shut my mouth. I'll continue to speak the truth. Much of the news we report on this blog will never hit the mainstream media but that doesn't mean it's not going on. You can continue to live inside your box and be ignorant, I don't care. We always cite our sources and they're almost ALWAYS the Associated Press in and outside of the US.

    Oh, and whoever said everyone with an Arab name or anyone who worships a murdering pedophile is a terrorist? I don't care if you worship a feral goat, don't preach a worldwide Islamic Caliphate, including here in the US. If you do, I'm going to expose your beliefs and Americans deserve to know about it, especially if your goals are to destroy the American Constitution, culture and way of life. Again, you're opinion is highly distorted from reality. I've never labeled "all Muslims" terrorists, but you wouldn't know that unless you read my blog.

    So, with all your ignorance now exposed, who's the prick?
  • Beejj
    Thank you, Infidelesto. I enjoyed reading that. I think you have made it abundantly clear who warrants the appellation! Said prick needs to review the history of Iran before and after the fall of the dreadful Shah. Overnight, "moderate" Muslims became foaming lunatics. He needs also to keep in mind Wilders' words: "There is no such thing as moderate Islam."
  • Julius
    Just vist Dearbornstine,Michigan its already happening there,they buy up Bankrupt schools open shops launder money and discriminate,I live-ed amongst them and did not like the way the treat us infidels and everyone who is not a Muslim.After 911 many celebrated and many of us reported this to the authorities and they laughed at us calling us racist and paranoid,Not all of them are bad but in a group which they allways are ,intimidating to say the least,300,000 and growing in the once Greater Detroit area,Piss on them and Detrioit the fucked up the whole city.They only look out for themselves and use all areas of our constitution and laws to benefit themselves and there familys overseaas,Not once have I seen them outside the community helping us Americans with Charity,Sports, or anything.Wake up America before you will be out numbered by them.

    Can't wait to see their football team. what will they call themselves and what will be their mascot?
  • SirWilhelm
    Cameljockeys or Camelf**kers, take your pick, with of course, a camel for their mascot, with lipstick and mascara. Although they may have copyright problems with Camel cigarettes. If so, they can still go with the goats.

    Of course they'll have cheerlearders with hijabs and burkas, they make some of the best suicide bomber covers, don't they?
  • Goats?
  • JEWHAWK
    Can you imagine their CHEERLEADERS???HAHAHAHAHA...

    Wearing hijabs and burkas...maybe worn by men themselves!!

    It will be one of the most ludicrous things America has ever seen.
  • Marco Matamoros
    I do not want muslim "values" perpetuated in my country. Hopefully the school will fail.
  • JEWHAWK
    It will NOT fail.They'll open more of these "schools".Maybe one next to you.
    Every morning you'll hear the muezzim screaming from the top of a minaret
    "ALLLAAAAAAAHH-HOOOO-AKHBAAAAAR",because very likely they'll also
    have a MOSQUE next to this so-called "school".

    Would you like that?Mr.Matamoros...NICE SURNAME,by the way.Maybe
    you'll have to live up to your own name in order to survive and still being
    a christian.Yep.It will come to this.KILLING.
  • Marco Matamoros
    Of course I would not like that. Thats why I wrote that I don't want muslim values in this country. Ease up, we're on the same side.
  • JEWHAWK
    Of course we are in the same side.
  • JEWHAWK
    Let's see the professor's list:

    Al-ZAWAHIRI (Will teach planning,plotting and executing a suicide-mission on enemy territory)

    Abu-Zubeida (Will teach how to build bombs.From basics to advanced levels.How to resist
    waterboarding and manage to receive support from Nancy Pelosi)

    Mohammad Al-Kaboom: (Deceased) Taught and executed a suicide-bombing at the school
    cafeteria.Allah bless him.
