The creeping threat of stealth sharia. Inch by inch…day by day they gain more ground.
The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) literally spits on America and on the 4th of July America’s Independence Day no less! I’m sure the date was specifically chosen to magnify the insult.
Did the leadership of ISNA randomly pick our nation’s Independence Day to hold their event? Islamic scholars openly lecture to not follow man-made holidays created by the Jews and Christians such as Christmas, Easter, Independence Day, etc. In addition, ISNA informs American educators that Muslim children are not encouraged to any allegiance to America, which also includes wearing lapel pins or standing for the pledge of allegiance.
But somehow the covering up of sacred [roll eyes] female muslim hair with an American flag is ok….

46th Annual ISNA Convention Theme: Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
How dare they. “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness”, one of the most well known phrases in the United States Declaration of Independence. What the hell does that have to do with Islam?
Answer: NOTHING –”Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” does not exist in Islam. Not in it’s true meaning.
And:
From the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) profile on Discover the Networks:
Adds Emerson: “I think ISNA has been an umbrella, also a promoter of groups that have been involved in terrorism. I am not going to accuse the ISNA of being directly involved in terrorism. I will say ISNA has sponsored extremists, racists, people who call for Jihad against the United States.”
Emphasis mine
An Islamic Trojan horse. ISNA dear readers is a prime example of what many may claim to be moderate Islam. They are either ignorant or bald face liars. You see to be an Islamic threat one does not have to carry out an act of terrorism. There are many working behind the scenes infiltrating and plotting. As a terror support network. Do not allow yourselves to be fooled. The “threat” is real and it is operating right here on US soil! And worst of all, ISNA are not the lone dogs from hell in the fight against our “Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness” They are coming at US from all directions.
It is as if Barack Obama is a split personality.
One half (his false face) is the messiah of “hope and change”.
The other (his true self) is a deceitful bullshit artist confidence man.
Back and forth. Flip and flop. Is there no end?

Barack Obama’s Association with Former PLO Operative Khalidi
However, Obama and the Left want to demand an end to the probing of the years-long Obama-Ayers association as irrelevant. Never mind that Ayers has openly bragged of bombing the Pentagon. Never mind that Obama and Ayers voted to give $75,000 to Rashid Khalidi, a Yasser Arafat protege in the PLO, during their tenure with the Woods Foundation. The difference apparently is in the target of one’s hatreds; as long as the hatred was directed at the American government, the Left believes it to be irrelevant.
Ali Abunimah is a Pro Arab Journalist and founder of the Electronic Intifada. He will tell you that Senator Obama is full of crap when he says that he is pro-Israel
If disappointing, given his historically close relations to Palestinian-Americans, Obama’s about-face is not surprising. He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected
He says that Obama has long been a friend of the Palestinian community, but he knows where the money is. He has changed his position because those in the Pro-Israel camp (American Jews?) have the money to get him elected. Below is a portion of what he has written for Electronic Intifada on the subject:

…….Over the years since I first saw Obama speak I met him about half a dozen times, often at Palestinian and Arab-American community events in Chicago including a May 1998 community fundraiser at which Edward Said was the keynote speaker. In 2000, when Obama unsuccessfully ran for Congress I heard him speak at a campaign fundraiser hosted by a University of Chicago professor. On that occasion and others Obama was forthright in his criticism of US policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
The last time I spoke to Obama was in the winter of 2004 at a gathering in Chicago’s Hyde Park neighborhood. He was in the midst of a primary campaign to secure the Democratic nomination for the United States Senate seat he now occupies. But at that time polls showed him trailing.
As he came in from the cold and took off his coat, I went up to greet him. He responded warmly, and volunteered, “Hey, I’m sorry I haven’t said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I’m hoping when things calm down I can be more up front.” He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the The Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy, “Keep up the good work!”
But Obama’s gradual shift into the AIPAC camp had begun as early as 2002 as he planned his move from small time Illinois politics to the national scene. In 2003, Forward reported on how he had “been courting the pro-Israel constituency.” He co-sponsored an amendment to the Illinois Pension Code allowing the state of Illinois to lend money to the Israeli government. Among his early backers was Penny Pritzker — now his national campaign finance chair — scion of the liberal but staunchly Zionist family that owns the Hyatt hotel chain. (The Hyatt Regency hotel on Mount Scopus was built on land forcibly expropriated from Palestinian owners after Israel occupied East Jerusalem in 1967). He has also appointed several prominent pro-Israel advisors.

Obama has also been close to some prominent Arab Americans, and has received their best advice. His decisive trajectory reinforces a lesson that politically weak constituencies have learned many times: access to people with power alone does not translate into influence over policy. Money and votes, but especially money, channelled through sophisticated and coordinated networks that can “bundle” small donations into million dollar chunks are what buy influence on policy. Currently, advocates of Palestinian rights are very far from having such networks at their disposal. Unless they go out and do the hard work to build them, or to support meaningful campaign finance reform, whispering in the ears of politicians will have little impact. (For what it’s worth, I did my part. I recently met with Obama’s legislative aide, and wrote to Obama urging a more balanced policy towards Palestine.)
If disappointing, given his historically close relations to Palestinian-Americans, Obama’s about-face is not surprising. He is merely doing what he thinks is necessary to get elected and he will continue doing it as long as it keeps him in power. Palestinian-Americans are in the same position as civil libertarians who watched with dismay as Obama voted to reauthorize the USA Patriot Act, or immigrant rights advocates who were horrified as he voted in favor of a Republican bill to authorize the construction of a 700-mile fence on the border with Mexico.
Only if enough people know what Obama and his competitors stand for, and organize to compel them to pay attention to their concerns can there be any hope of altering the disastrous course of US policy in the Middle East. It is at best a very long-term project that cannot substitute for support for the growing campaign of boycott, divestment and sanctions needed to hold Israel accountable for its escalating violence and solidifying apartheid.

What have we here? Jesse Jackson supping with the ‘British Muslim Initiative‘? Has he ran out of race baiting crap to stir up in the states? How can anyone take him serious? He is a joke. But to be found mingling amongst the British Muslim Initiative he perhaps has gone to far. Has he gone from anti-white racism moving once again towards anti-Semitism? Farces like Jackson and various Afro-centrist individuals are clueless to the threat of Islam. Somebody slap somesense into them. Please! (lighten up it’s an expression)
BMI (British Muslim Initiative) hosts renowned US civil rights leader The British Muslim Initiative yesterday hosted a dinner for the leading civil rights campaigner and one of America’s foremost political figures Rev Jesse Jackson during his tour of nine cities across the UK.
Welcoming Rev Jackson, Ismail Patel spokesperson of BMI, acknowledged his legacy, stating, “He has was the conscience of America and the great unifier, challenging America to establish just and humane priorities“. He further added and called for Rev Jackson to “help guide the Muslim counter Islamophobia and call for justice in the Holy Land” Simon Woolley, coordinator of Operation Black Vote, said: ‘We are taking the next project forward for educating and empowering Britain that will serve notice on every political party bar none, and will link the Diaspora in a global movement that makes a difference.’
Lee Jasper, chair of Operation Black Vote, also highlighted the important issue of voter registration, urging all ethnic communities to use their voter power to maximize their representation and ensure far-right parties are kept out in the forthcoming elections
Israel’s attacks on civilian areas in both Lebanon and Palestine have been sickening and shocking. The lack of response by the UK Government has amounted to an endorsement of Israeli war-crimes.
British Muslim Initiative
What good is an anti-war protest without a few…raggedy socialists joining the mob? We must not leave them out.
(Note the black islamic flag being flown in photo taken at the protest.)
In the contemporary Islamist movement, the black flag is used to symbolize both offensive jihad and the proponents of reestablishing the Islamic Caliphate.
They are the back bone of such protests. Which has become an un-holy alliance between radical islamics and commie bastards, pining for the downfall of the west. The common ground they both share.
Getting down to the crux of the matter. Why do I make an issue out of Jackson’s new found friendship?
The British Muslim Initiative [BMI] has recently been propagating such a deception – loudly condemning the recent foiled plots in the UK in newspaper ads.
However a closer look at the group reveals that it and its membership advocate the same jihadist agenda as those who were arrested for the failed plots.
BMI is neither mainstream nor is it moderate.
Oh oh! Is Jesse aware of this? Or is he spellbound by the ego-tripping he is experiencing, in being revered as the second coming who will lend clout to battle islamophobia?
Islam-is-Peace launches national media campaign on buses, trains, airports and tube network reaching out to the wider community during the holy month of Ramadan
Praising the initiative, MCB Secretary General Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari said: “The silent majority of Muslims are coming forward and now challenging the misleading and negative assumptions of our faith that exist in sections of our media. It is a brave undertaking “.
Not brave enough for my taste. The renowned Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch and my friend the profound Ginro (who lives in the UK) have a few thoughts they would like to share. Concerning the newly launched Islam-is-Peace campaign in Britain.
I find this campaign and its stated aims highly offensive and extremely arrogant. Eradicate Islamophobia? They’d be better off trying to eradicate kuffarophobia in Islamic states as the problem is provably greater, and thousands upon thousands of people have been and are being slaughtered, tortured, and mutilated simply because they are not muslims. Tell me again, what exactly have muslims to fear in this country? And what do non-muslims have to fear in Islamic countries? Maybe the muslims in the UK should just shut up being cry babies and grow a set of bollocks for a change.
Can’t say I could add much to those nail on the head thoughts. I will add this though, if you do anything while browsing through this article, view the Spencer video and then go and read this, Fitzgerald: The “Islam Is Peace” campaign!
The British Muslim Initiative, together with the Greater London Authority and a host of human rights, faith and anti-racism organizations, has launched a new project to address attacks on freedom of thought, conscience and religion.
Goody goody, they are for freedom of thought and conscience! That blows their cries of islamophobia the hell out of the water. Now doesn’t it? Score! They have killed islamophobia dead in it’s tracks with one little sentence.
Let us learn more…
This “good Islamist – bad Islamist” dichotomy is part of a wider strategy, as Dutch Islam specialist Hans Janssen states, “moderate Muslims too, strive after an Islamic society, “they intentionally make use of radicals to enforce their wishes.”
Janssen’s analysis cogently sums up BMI’s strategy.
The group’s spokesman Ishtiham Hibatullah boasted that “doctors made up the bulk of those who joined the PR campaign and noted that the government appears to be showing dhimmitude towards Muslims, gloating over new PM Gordon Brown’s handling of events, “There have been no draconian laws rushed through or raids. The general perception in the Muslim community is that things have changed.”
Significantly, BMI’s assertion of “Islamophobia” ignores the obvious connection between Islamic fundamentalism and terrorism.
Such tactics allow BMI – and other Islamist groups – to cynically exploit terror attacks, intending to create a smokescreen where allegations of discrimination serve to shield their own radicalism.
“Why, if it is so glorious and honourable to do this, why don’t you do it?” asked the interviewer. “If I have the opportunity I would do it,” Tamimi, who was born in Hebron, answered. “If I can go to Palestine and sacrifice myself, I would do it. “Why not? You see, sacrificing myself for Palestine is a noble cause. It is the straight way to pleasing my God and I would do it if I had the opportunity.”
More insidious words spewed forth from the mouth of Azzam Tamimi
Excerpts:
Al-Tamimi told the Guardian Unlimited (December 2003) that he “was a friend of Mr. [Khaled] Meshal, the chief political officer of Hamas… There is a personal relationship with some of them,” he added, “because of that I am sometimes asked to advise them.
“I have been asked, ‘What do you think of how we present ourselves to the world?’ I can be of use both to Hamas and people in the West who know nothing of what Hamas is about.”
Al-Tamimi describes himself as a “sympathiser and supporter” of Hamas. “I know some of the senior figures in Hamas,” he said. “Some were my friends, my classmates…”
In an interview titled ‘David versus Goliath’ on Al-Jazeera television in October 2003, Al-Tamimi described the Hamas tactic of using human bombs:
“Don’t forget, in the long-term the outcome of this conflict isn’t about how many Palestinians die, it is about how many Israelis die. The Israelis can’t fight or match the willingness of the Palestinian people to sacrifice their lives.”
In an article titled ‘Hizbullah’s Gift to Palestine’ published in mid-2000, Al-Tamimi explained the religious roots of suicide/martyrdom operations:
“A person that chooses, and comes forward willingly, to die by exploding himself in the face of his oppressors is neither desperate nor hopeless. Almost in every case… the Israelis are dealing with individuals who are most hopeful. They are aspiring to what they alone seem to have known with certainty to be the truth. To them, the eventual destiny of their short trip to Tel Aviv, Netanya, or other Zionist-infested Palestinian towns is eternal life in a world of divine bliss…”
Jesse Jackson breaks bread with a Muslim group, who are connected to radical islamists. Lovely. Especially when one considers his holier than thou attitude.
Also when discussing Jackson, we must not forget his love affair with Yasser Arafat
“He led a people out of darkness into the light of identity. He altered the world. Against the odds, he built a people from identify crisis to a state, much like George Washington and Mandela.”
..and the kissing up and passing of his hat to the PLO.
The money quote,
“By October 1, there will be no black leader left willing to come to the aid of the Palestinian cause, if there is not an immediate infusion of funds into the black community from the Arab states.”
Hmm…was Jackson filling more than his belly? Was his presence at the B.M.I. dinner table to show support, sell his soul, & fill coffers(?)
