Islam in America

Islamic presentation angers Texas parents

Being a Texan, I agree 100% with parents who are angry. No prayer is allowed in schools, because some find it offensive, but promoting islam is allowed. These people have no business in public schools. If you allow muslims, then you MUST allow Christians, Jews, Hindi, Buddhists etc… to come in and ‘educate’ (islamic code for indoctrinate).

Muslim speakers outrage parents

FRIENDSWOOD — A presentation to Friendswood junior high students about Islam has ignited a furor among some parents.

Parents of Friendswood Junior High School students started a letter campaign to school officials in protest of a presentation meant to combat hate and bullying.

On May 22, two Muslim women gave a 30-minute presentation about Islamic culture as part of a yearlong study at the school of respect, tolerance and culture, according to a statement from district officials.

Principal Robin Lowe had “best intentions,” said Karolyn Gephart, district spokeswoman. The guest speakers discussed Muslim culture, including topics such as food, religion, dress, beliefs and famous Muslims, Gephart said.

“If you pulled a book about Islam from the library, you would find the same stuff in the book,” Gephart said. “There was no proselytizing.”

Parents, however, were not told about the presentation. By district policy, parents are supposed to be informed about the purpose and content of presentations so that they can keep their children out of the presentation if they think the material might be offensive or inappropriate.

Not informing parents beforehand was a mistake that would not happen again, Gephart said.

Kim Leago, who’s son is in the eighth grade at the junior high, said she’s still upset that her child was exposed to the “inappropriate” presentation.

“We can’t say ‘One nation under God’ in school, so I definitely don’t think (the presentation) was the right choice,” she said.

Choosing to teach about Islamic culture was the “worst choice” of any religion, Leago said.

“I’m not a prejudiced person … but Muslims, from what I know of the faith, don’t want to be incorporated with Americans,” she said. “Look at what’s going on in the world right now, with the war and with 9/11.”

And of course there was a “moderate” muslim who responded to the angry parents, with a giant dose of taqqiya.

Dr. Ahmed Ahmed, a member of the board of directors for the Galveston Islamic Center, said there’s a common misperception that Muslims are somehow un-American. The few Muslims that have tainted the faith as terrorists have helped spread the myth that Islam is violent and extremist.

“Muslims in the U.S. are Americans, not intruders,” he said. “They are not invaders; they are not outsiders. We are all Americans, and we are all working toward a better America.”

Citing Islamic directives extolling the virtues of patience, tolerance, dignity, passion, cleanliness and obedience, Ahmed said the presentation given to Friendswood Junior High School students should be part of the educational process for all young Americans.

“A student who knows is much better than a student who does not know,” he said.

I agree that one in the know has more power than one without knowledge. I educated myself on the TRUTH about islam. That is why I contribute to this site and will never capitulate to islam.

Minnesota muslims cry foul over company dress code

A group of Somali muslim women living in Minnesota have alleged religious discrimination because they were fired for refusing to wear MANDATORY work uniforms, because they claim they violated their “religious” beliefs.

Mission Foods, a New Brighton tortilla maker, is accused of religious intolerance for requiring six Muslim workers to wear uniforms that include pants they say are too revealing.

A group of Muslim workers allege they were fired by a New Brighton tortilla factory for refusing to wear uniforms that they say were immodest by Islamic standards.

Six Somali women claim they were ordered by a manager to wear pants and shirts to work instead of their traditional Islamic clothing of loose-fitting skirts and scarves, according to the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a civil liberties group that is representing the women.

The women have filed a religious discrimination complaint with the federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

“For these women, wearing tight-fitting pants is like being naked,” said Valerie Shirley, a spokeswoman for the Minnesota chapter of CAIR. “It’s simply not an option.”

Of course CAIR would come to the aid of these “poor little muslimahs”. Nevermind that in muslim countries, non-muslim employees are treated like slaves, and paid less than minimum wage. If the muslimas dislike the uniform REQUIRED by federal law, then quit and go work somewhere else. Or leave the United States and go back to Somalia. The abbayat (the long black gown that resembles a trash bag, IMO) is a safety hazard in a meat packing plant. Anyone with half a brain can see the inherent danger, both to the worker who might get sucked into a meat grinder while wearing such loose garb, and to the employer, who these muslimahs would inevitably sue for damages if they were allowed to dress like they were in the middle east, and got sucked into a meat grinder and survived.

The company issued the following statement in response to the baseless allegations.

“Should these employees choose to adhere to the current Mission Foods uniform policy, they may return to their positions with the company,” the company statement said. “However, these positions will need to be filled as soon as possible and cannot be held indefinitely.”

In other words (since companies get sued for being honest and politically correct, I will translate) they said, “Follow the rules, or get another job.”

CAIR decries use of staged “mosque” in law enforcement excercise

CAIR is complaining that the use of a building as a mosque, replete with muslim terrorists holding civilian hostages portrays muslims in a negative light.

Storming of Illinois ‘Mosque’ Sends Wrong Message, Islamic Group Says

(CNSNews.com) - As part of a recent emergency preparedness drill in south-central Illinois, law enforcement personnel stormed a “mosque” where radical gunman were holding hostages.

The “gunmen” and hostages were playing a part, and the building wasn’t really a mosque. And that bothers an Islamic advocacy group.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) opposes the stereotyping of Muslims as radicals.

“The use of a fake ‘mosque’ in this type of drill sends the wrong message to law enforcement officials who may now view mainstream institutions, such as Islamic houses of worship, as potential security threats,” said Ahmed Rehab, executive director of CAIR’s Chicago chapter.

According to the Hillsboro, Ill., Journal-News, dozens of government agencies took part in last week’s training exercise in the town of Irving.

A local addiction treatment center was re-named the “Irving mosque” for purposes of the drill.

Officers from the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System (ILEAS) stormed the “mosque” in an armored car. One “hostage” was wired with “explosives,” and the “suspects” in the “mosque” released nerve gas.

The Journal-News quoted the local emergency management director Diana Holmes as thanking everyone involved — “especially the folks in Irving who allowed us to use their community for this exercise. The ladies who did all the food prep did an excellent job,” she told the paper.

CAIR said it agrees that law enforcement officers should be trained to deal with hostage-taking as well as chemical, biological and bomb attacks. “We are only questioning the wisdom of linking the American Muslim community and its institutions to such incidents,” Ahmed Rehab said.

Well maybe, and I am by no means a genius, if muslims in America would stop sending money to terrorists, stop trying to islamize MY country, stop preparing for acts of terror, like those hajis in New Jersey, the Fort Dix Six, and stop defending and justifying terrorism as anything other than an ingrained part of the cult of islam, we would stop stereotyping them as terrorists (I will not be PC and call them radicals. If they want to overrun my country and install shariah and their cult as the source of what they call law and justice - where women can be stoned, homosexuals can be hanged, and apostates and non-muslims are legal to kill for not being muslim - they are terrorists who should be deported.).

Maryland Supreme Court: Can’t use Islam excuse to escape alimony

Finally some sanity…

Baltimore Sun

Saying “I divorce thee” three times, as men in Muslim countries have been able to do for centuries when leaving their wives, is not enough if you’re a resident of Maryland, the state’s highest court ruled yesterday.

Yesterday, the Court of Appeals rejected a Pakistani man’s argument that his invocation of the Islamic talaq, under which a marriage is dissolved simply by the husband’s say-so, allowed him to part with his wife of more than 20 years and deny her a share of his $2 million estate.

The justices affirmed a lower court’s decision overturning a divorce decree obtained in Pakistan by Irfan Aleem, a World Bank economist who moved from London to Maryland with his wife, Farah Aleem, in 1985.

In 2003, Aleem’s wife filed for divorce in Montgomery County Circuit Court.

When he filed a counterclaim, he did not object to the court’s jurisdiction over the case, according to the ruling. But before the legal process could be completed - and without telling his wife - Aleem went to the Pakistani Embassy in Washington and invoked the talaq, in effect attempting to turn jurisdiction of the case over to a Pakistani court that later granted him a divorce.

When they were married in Karachi in 1980, Farah Aleem was 18 and had just graduated from high school. Irfan Aleem was 29, a doctoral candidate at Oxford University in England. As is customary, the couple signed a marriage contract. It obligated Aleem to give his wife the equivalent of $2,500 in the event of their divorce. When they split, he did so, and claimed he owed her nothing more.

Maryland’s highest court disagreed.

“If we were to affirm the use of talaq, controlled as it is by the husband, a wife, a resident of this state, would never be able to consummate a divorce action filed by her in which she seeks a division of marital property,” the judges wrote in their decision.

They said the talaq “directly deprives the wife of the due process she is entitled to when she initiates divorce litigation.”

Muslims kidnap attorney and financial advisor - In New York!

Nabbed and held captive by Brooklyn Jihadis!
The religion of peace has started kidnapping people here in the US…

A tree grew in Brooklyn.

No longer.

It has been uprooted by the Masjid At-Taqwa and other radical mosques that have sprouted up like huge mechanical mushrooms throughout the borough.

If you tarry in front of the Masjid At-Taqwa in the Bedford-Stuyvesant district and dare to take a photo, you might get hauled away by a group of angry Muslims in Islamic attire to the basement of the facility where a group of twenty “security guards” in karate suits will interrogate you.

This sounds preposterous.

But it happened on a weekend in late April at 3:00 in the afternoon.

Ali Kareem, the head of security for Siraj Wahaj’s mosque, conducted the grilling. A small, muscular man with a wispy black beard that has been dyed red with henna, Kareem demanded to know the reason why a trio of kafirs had dared to photograph the building on a public street without securing his permission.

He further insisted on securing our identities and obtaining our motives for such a violation of Islamic space.

Being surrounded by a group of militant guards in a mosque basement from which there is no means of escape is not a comforting place to be for a Wall Street financier.

I wish those camel banging terrorists would try something like that with me, or with any gun owner who is licensed to carry a concealed weapon.

Video: Andrew McCarthy on Islam

I watched this the other night on Hannity & Colmes and laughed out loud when Alan makes a total ass out of himself trying to come up with something to refute McCarthy’s claims.

Sometimes I think Colmes just tries to “say the other side” cause he has to and never really shows passion, almost like he’s doing it cause it’s his job and not what he truly believes.

US to double Visas for Saudi students

Good Lord…

Arab NewsUS Ambassador Ford Fraker said in Sakaka that his country aims to double the number of student visas issued to Saudis.

“Currently there are 15,000 Saudi students in the US,” he said during an event on Sunday with local business leaders to an audience at the Al-Jouf Chamber of Commerce and Industry. “We aim to increase their numbers to 30,000 over the next five years.”

Not only that, but he wants to make it EASIER for Saudis to get Visa’s

In order to facilitate increased mutual visits, Fraker said he is working to simplify the issue of visas to Saudi businessmen.

As we all know, the majority of the 9-11 terrorists were from Saudi Arabia.  Did we not learn ANYTHING from the most horrific event in American History?  What the hell is wrong with these people?

Video: Alan Colmes discovers Radical Islam first hand

Alan Colmes, liberal but non-conforming Leftist gets props for standing up to the American, Jew-hating, America-despising, rabid, radical Islamist, Joseph Cohen aka  “Yousef al-Khattab” who appeared on Foxnews the other day.  Alan  actually took the time to have a conversation with this nut job, and the audio is well worth listening to till the end.

Colmes did a good job in calling out the extremist viewpoints that so many on the left prefer to dodge and deny about most radical Islamists currently in America.  At the end, Cohen calls Colmes a “Kike” which is a derogatory term for Jew.

Will Alan finally wake up to the threat of Islam? doubt it…

CAIR Extremist to Speak on Extremism

On Tuesday, April 8, 2008, the head of the Michigan office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Dawud Walid, will be giving a speech about extremism and terrorism, at Grand Valley State University, in Allendale, Michigan, hosted by the Muslim Students Association. But how can such topics be discussed, when the speaker is a known extremist, and the organization he represents has been involved in terrorism?

Dawud Walid is the Executive Director of CAIR-Michigan. The organization is a local chapter of the group that was recently named a co-conspirator for a Hamas financing trial that took place in Dallas, Texas. As well, in a December 2007 court brief filed by the United States government for a different Hamas-related trial, it is stated that “CAIR conspired with other affiliates of the Muslim Brotherhood to support terrorists.”

Walid has held his position with CAIR, since July of 2005. In the nearly three years he has sat at the group’s helm, Walid has issued numerous statements that can be described as nothing less that outrageous.

The irony of having a terrorist/extremist supporter speak on extremism is not lost on me. That they continue to walk among the free, and that CAIR (I affectionately call them the NAACB - National Association for Advancement of Car Bombers) has not been disbanded, and their ilk jailed and then deported, is an outrage and a travesty.

Binghamton, N.Y., grants permit for Milad-un-Nabi event

Muslim leaders at an encampment in the Catskill Mountains called “Islamberg” have been granted a permit by the city of Binghamton, N.Y., to hold a parade Saturday in honor of Muhammad’s birthday.

The holiday, called Milad-un-Nabi, will be celebrated by a group of families who live at the nearby property owned by Muslims of the Americas Inc.
