Original story:
Islam group urges forest fire jihad
- Josh Gordon
- September 7, 2008
AUSTRALIA has been singled out as a target for "forest jihad" by a group of Islamic extremists urging Muslims to deliberately light bushfires as a weapon of terror.
US intelligence channels earlier this year identified a website calling on Muslims in Australia, the US, Europe and Russia to "start forest fires", claiming "scholars have justified chopping down and burning the infidels' forests when they do the same to our lands".
The website, posted by a group called the Al-Ikhlas Islamic Network, argues in Arabic that lighting fires is an effective form of terrorism justified in Islamic law under the "eye for an eye" doctrine.
The posting - which instructs jihadis to remember "forest jihad" in summer months - says fires cause economic damage and pollution, tie up security agencies and can take months to extinguish so that "this terror will haunt them for an extended period of time".
Catalina cross posted a related story. Some cuteness in it. We can all use a little warm and fuzzy these days.
Over at United Against Islamic Supremacism is this article relating the work of our grassroots organizations to fight Islamic Jihad in America. Two groups are fighting the homegrown terrorist camp in Virginia. This is the progress report of one of them. The other group is the Christian Action Network. Check them out, they've been around since long before 9/11/1.
Catherine Martin Forges Ahead

Catherine Martin Forges Ahead
by Gary H. Johnson, Jr.
Hillary Clinton has officially been sworn in to replace Condoleeza Rice as Secretary of State. And, now, Sharon Bulova has won Virginia’s Fairfax County Chair, left vacant by Gerry Connolly. The stage is set, and it will not be long before a public battle on behalf of America’s communities is waged by Virginia’s 10th District Representative Frank Wolf and ACT! For America’s Northern Virginia DC Metro Chapter Head Catherine Martin. Brigitte Gabriel’s ACT! For America may be the strongest new political grassroots movement to hit the American national scene in the wake of 9/11. With a 50,000 strong membership and a steady influx of new recruits and volunteers, ACT! for America’s chapters span across the United States and beyond. I recently had a chance to sit down and discuss the street level activities of ACT! for America with the NoVa/DCMetro chapter head Catherine Martin, who has made it her life mission to “educate United States citizens as to the threat of radical Islam”. With a volunteer staff of 70 committed Virginia and DC activists, Catherine Martin understands full well that her chapter is in the vortex of a brewing storm.
“The question of the legality of the Islamic Saudi Academy’s curriculum in Fairfax County is not going away,” Catherine says matter of factly. “As a mother and as an American, I find it outrageous that the school teaches children to hate Americans, Christians and Jews. Brigitte Gabriel’s ACT! for America is supporting us all the way on this mission as we continue our fight against ISA’s jihadi indoctrination right in our very own backyards - as we bring the issue directly to the people of Virginia and across America. Representative Frank Wolf has been an ally and strong advocate for us at ACT! for America. When a coalition of groups here in Virginia demanded that the Islamic Saudi Academy be investigated for having anti-American and anti-Israel teachings in their textbooks, Congressman Wolf sent four letters to the State Department requesting an investigation of the school and its curriculum. Since our grievance has not yet been fully addressed and the election cycle has ran its course, we will immediately engage the new leadership on behalf of our communities. A fifth letter from Congressman Wolf is waiting at the State Department for the incoming Secretary of State.”
When asked what this fifth letter was designed to accomplish, Martin notes that, “Hillary Clinton is replacing Condoleeza Rice in the State Department, so we now have a fresh opportunity to have our concerns heard at the State Department level. What most Virginia and DC residents are unaware of is the fact that when the original letters were issued by Congressman Wolf’s office, the State Department decided to bounce the request to the Fairfax County Supervisor, Gerry Connolly. Connolly refused to launch an investigation of the school and actually referred to ACT! for America and Representative Wolf as bigots for requesting the investigation of the Islamic Saudi Academy. Empty, racially charged, accusations from the likes of Connolly do not change the facts or the texts in question. So, we are now taking our reasoned concerns about ISA’s curriculum of hate to Hillary Clinton and are prepared, if necessary, to confront the Fairfax County Supervisor Chair, Sharon Bulova, should the new Secretary of State refuse to see the writing on the wall and attempt to evade the truth by passing the hot potato down the line. With allies like John Cosgrove over at United Action Committee, Jim and Andrea Lafferty with the Traditional Values Coalition, and Christine Brim at the Center for Security Policy rallying to defend American communities, the Islamic Saudi Academy will be forced to close its doors or submit to being subject to a transparent curriculum. ACT! For America’s battle with the ISA over its curriculum is only beginning.”
Last June 25th, Chuck Hagee noted in the Mount Vernon Gazette that “debate about the school’s curriculum was ignited in October 2007 when the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom issued a report calling for the school’s closure ‘until such time as the official Saudi textbooks used at the ISA are made available for comprehensive public examination in the United States.’” In addition to the USCIRF report, Hagee notes in a September 24th follow-up piece that “To buttress his request, Wolf included a recent report by the Heritage Foundation that stated ‘ISA is subject to the terms of the Foreign Missions Act’ and that it is within the State Department’s powers to declare ISA ‘a foreign mission of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.’” The article closes with Gerald Connolly remarking on the absence of Commission or State Department objection to the lease renewal to ISA or the textbook controversy in a public hearing on the matters before the Board.
When discussing the Hagee articles with Catherine Martin, I asked why nothing was mentioned of the Valedictorian of the ISA program, that was captured for attempting to assassinate President Bush. “The Islamic Saudi Academy is a private school under the umbrella of the Royal Saudi Academy and is but one of twenty Saudi funded schools in the United States.” Catherine continues, “With the mountains of evidence in the USCIRF findings and the August 2008 New English Review article Behind the Veil at the Saudi Academy by Jerry Gordon and Isabella Cruz, which relates the shocking accounts of former ISA faculty members, the implications of the assassination plot on our President would not bode well for the continued operation of all twenty of the U.S. Madrassas. But the fact of the matter is that if the Islamic Saudi Academy is revealed as a breeding ground for future terrorists against the United States and Israel then every state with a Royal Saudi Academy would voice their concern. What will it take to expose the school? What will it take to have the county refuse to renew their lease and shut them down here in Virginia? It certainly doesn’t matter to the school’s supporters (ala Gerry Connolly), that a past valedictorian was part of the nationally known paint-ball terror cell whose mission was to assassinate the President of the United States. Others who have attended the school have also supported jihad against the United States. These facts beg the question: since when is it okay for us to have a school for terrorists in the United States? The State Department has a duty to make a ruling on the ISA curriculum here in Fairfax, so that other state and county seats can properly meet the threat of radical Islam across America.”
Moving on from the ISA topic, in closing, I asked Catherine Martin what other projects were ramping up for the ACT! for America NoVa/DCMetro chapter for February. Without skipping a beat, Martin forges ahead, “For this month, the ACT! For America Northern Virginia/DC Chapter is working with the United American Committee on a major problem that is happening in our local college, George Mason University (GMU). We have discovered that GMU has taken money from the Islamic Supremacist organization IIIT to establish an Islamic Studies Chair for the school. This is the continuation of Islamist domination at GMU preceded by: the student meditation room being converted to a mosque; the installation of footbaths at the tax payer’s expense; a school treasurer using her GMU webpage to solicit donations for local madrassas; the school’s establishment of a Halal menu; and lastly, the forcing out of critical members of the staff. Our goal will be to reverse the process of Islamist influence at GMU. ACT! For America and the United American Committee will put significant pressure on GMU and elected officials this month. GMU’s acceptance of $1.5 million from IIIT will not be answered with silent assent. The ACT! For America NoVa/DC Chapter has also been invited to attend the screening of the Christian Action Network’s documentary, Homegrown Jihad: Terrorist Camps Around U.S. on February 11th at 7:30pm at the Landmark Theater in Washington DC (between 11th and E Street). The movie is about radical Islamic compounds that are currently operating around the United States under the direction of an international terrorist. We are supporting this movie and encourage everyone in the DC area to attend. Documentaries like this prove that Radical Islam is on the move in communities all over the United States.”

How Islam infiltrated our universities:
The Muslim Students Association and the Jihad Network
By FrontPage Magazine
FrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, May 08, 2008
http://frontpagemag.com/articles/Read.aspx?GUID=4066F0B8-C173-4A7C-B43C-99988EC9F154
The following essay, adapted from the Introduction to this booklet, shows how, as early as the 1980s, operatives from the Muslim Brotherhood, parent group for al Qaeda and Hamas, formulated a blueprint for a "jihadist process" that would ultimately sabotage the "miserable house" of the United States. These Muslim Brotherhood operatives saw that the work of undermining the U.S. could be best accomplished by the use of front groups such as the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and the Muslim Students Association. But while CAIR was designed to work in the legal-cultural realm, posturing as another of the minority rights groups functioning in the public square, the MSA's role was to be restricted to college campuses, where it would advance the cause of radical Islam and lead the effort to stigmatize Israel.
Over the next several days, Front Page will publish profiles of individual chapters of the MSA on a variety of campuses around the country, showing how specifically they achieve the broad goals of the organization. – The EditorsAs revealed in documents seized by the FBI and entered as evidence in a Texas court, the Muslim Students Association is a legacy project of the Muslim Brotherhood.[1] The Brotherhood is an organization formed by a Hitler-admiring Muslim named Hasan al-Bannain Egypt in 1928.[2] It was designed to function as the spearpoint of the Islamo-fascist movement and its crusade against the West.
The Brotherhood spawned al-Qaeda and Hamas.[3] Its doctrines make up the core of the terrorist jihad conducted by organizations such as Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Hamas and the government of Iran.[4] Its agendas have been clear since its creation: infiltration, subversion and global terror with world conquest as the goal.
…To
establish one Islamic state of united Islamic countries, one nation
under one leadership whose mission will be to reinforce adherence to
the law of Allah...and the strengthening of the Islamic presence in the
world arena....The goal...is the establishment of a world Islamic
state.[5]
The
first target was the “near enemy” – the Arab states that al-Banna and
his followers felt had betrayed Islam. The United States – the “far
enemy” – would not become a specific focus of the Brotherhood until
many years later.
“Destroying Western Civilization From Within”
A formal plan for targeting America was devised three years after the Iranian revolution, in 1982.[6]. The plan was summarized in a 1991 memorandum written by Mohamed Akram, an operative of the Muslim Brotherhood. “The process of settlement” of Muslims in America, Akram explained, “is a ‘Civilization-Jihadist Process.’” This means that members of the Brotherhood “must understand that their work in America is a kind of grand jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and ‘sabotaging’ its miserable house by their hands and the hands of the believers so that it is eliminated and God’s religion is made victorious over all other religions.”[7]
This memo surfaced in a Texas courtroom in the fall of 2007 after prosecutors introduced it as evidence in the trial of the Holy Land Foundation, once the largest Islamic charity in the United States.[8] The HLF was charged with funneling charitable donations to the jihad terrorists of the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, a Brotherhood organization that now controls the Gaza Strip. But the implications of this document go far beyond the Holy Land Foundation.
It is actually a blueprint for the subversion of American society, and the eventual imposition of Islamic law in the United States. This would mean an institutionalized oppression of women, homosexuals, and religious minorities; the end of freedom of speech and the freedom of conscience; and the replacement of democracy by theocracy.
U.S. authorities had been keeping an eye on Brotherhood operatives even before the memo surfaced. In 2001, U.S. officials accused Youssef Nada, a member of the organization, of funding terrorism.[9] Two years later, American investigators described Soliman Biheiri, a businessman in Virginia, as the Brotherhood’s U.S. “financial toehold.”
Surveying the Islamic organizations that existed in the U.S. in 1991, Mohamed Akram declared in his memo: “The big challenge that is ahead of us is how to turn these seeds or ‘scattered’ elements into comprehensive, stable, ‘settled’ organizations that are connected with our Movement and which fly in our orbit and take orders from our guidance.”
At the end of the document, Akram provided “a list of our organizations and the organizations of our friends” – apparently, those whom he believed were likewise dedicated to this great project of sabotaging the “miserable house” of American society. Surveying all these groups filled him with enthusiasm: “Imagine if they all march according to one plan!!!”[10]
Akram contemplated a network of many overlapping groups, with personnel that move from one to the other and hold positions in different organizations simultaneously—an arrangement that resembles the Communist Party’s creation of interlocking front groups during the Cold War and complicates the task of understanding and tracking the pattern of their activities.
The
organizations Akram saw as advancing the Islamo-Fascist movement in
America included, among many others, the Islamic Society of North
America, the North American Islamic Trust, the Islamic Circle of North
America, the International Institute for Islamic Thought, and the
Islamic Association for Palestine – from which came the Council on
American Islamic Relations (CAIR) three years later. But perhaps the
most important of these groups in terms of the long term infiltration
and conquest the Brotherhood envisioned was The Muslim Students
Association (MSA).
The Stealth Jihad of the MSA
Established
in January 1963 at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the
Muslim Students Association of the United States and Canada, or MSA
(also known as MSA National) currently has chapters on nearly 600
college campuses across North America.)[11] The relationship between
MSA National and the individual university chapters is not a fixed
hierarchy, but rather a loose connection. Thus the policies and views
of the national organization may differ from those of some of the local
chapters.) Stating that its mission is “to serve the best interest of
Islam and Muslims in the United States and Canada so as to enable them
to practice Islam as a complete way of life,”MSA is by far the most
influential Islamic student organization in North America.[12]
From its inception, MSA had close links with the extremist Muslim World League, whose chapters’ websites have featured not only Osama bin Laden’s propaganda, but also publicity-recruiting campaigns for Wahhabi involvement with the Chechen insurgents in Russia. According to author and Islam expert Stephen Schwartz, MSA is a key lobbying organization for the Wahhabi sect of Islam.[14]
MSA solicited donations for the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, whose assets the U.S. government seized in December 2001 because that organization was giving financial support to the terrorist group Hamas. MSA also has strong ties to the World Assembly of Muslim Youth.[15]
Charging that U.S. foreign policy is driven by militaristic imperialism, MSA steadfastly opposes the American military incursions into both Afghanistan and Iraq.[16] The organization also follows the Arab propaganda line in the Middle East conflict and has condemned the anti-terrorist security fence that Israel has built in the West Bank as an illegal “apartheid wall” that violates the civil and human rights of Palestinians.
An influential member of the International ANSWER steering committee, MSA maintains a large presence at ANSWER-sponsored anti-war demonstrations.[17] The pro-North Korea, pro-Saddam Hussein ANSWER is a front organization of the Marxist-Leninist Workers World Party.[18]
Local chapters of MSA signed a February 20, 2002 document, composed by the radical group Refuse & Resist (a creation of the Revolutionary Communist Party’s) condemning military tribunals and the detention of immigrants apprehended in connection with post-9/11 terrorism investigations.[19] The document read, in part: “They the U.S. government are coming for the Arab, Muslim and South Asian immigrants. … The recent ‘disappearances,’ indefinite detention, the round-ups, the secret military tribunals, the denial of legal representation, evidence kept a secret from the accused, the denial of any due process for Arab, Muslim, South Asians and others, have chilling similarities to a police state.”[20]
MSA has strongly opposed the Patriot Act, which it describes as an “infamous” piece of legislation. The organization’s chapters across the United States have similarly denounced virtually every other national security initiative implemented by the U.S. government since the 9/11 attacks.
MSA chose not to endorse or participate in the May 14, 2005 “Free Muslims March Against Terror,” an event whose stated purpose was to “send a message to the terrorists and extremists that their days are numbered ... and to send a message to the people of the Middle East, the Muslim world and all people who seek freedom, democracy and peaceful coexistence that we support them.”[21]
But while it is possible to understand its political orientation from some of the positions it has taken on large national issues, the Muslim Students Association comes into sharper focus in the actions of the individual chapters that do its work every day on campuses across America. The following analysis of 18 separate campus chapters of MSA will make this clear.

By Brigitte Gabriel
During this first month of the New Year 2009, we have seen some stunning developments that, considered together, should leave absolutely no doubt about the rising radical Islamic threat on our doorsteps in America.
I have been warning Americans since 2002 about this threat, and that the threat is not just confined to terrorism. This is not a “war on terror.” Terror is a tactic, one of many in the arsenal of radical Islamists.
I have been declaring, to anyone who would listen, that
Islamists are well on their way to subverting and transforming Europe,
and they are riding that wave here to America.
I have told my personal story, of how Islamists, step by step, took over my country of Lebanon. How they used our freedoms and commitment to tolerance and multiculturalism against us to further their ultimate ends. And how they are using the same strategies and tactics against us in the West.
In just the past three weeks we have seen:
- A violent Islamic protest in Britain, where an angry mob shouting “Allahu Akbar” chased – yes, chased – dozens of British policemen for blocks. You must see this video to believe it! (Please be warned – there is offensive language and profanity).
- Pro-Hamas, anti-Israel Muslims conducting demonstrations here in America, shouting praises to Hitler for what he did to the Jews, yelling “go back to the ovens,” and at times physically attacking counter-protestors.
- The Amsterdam Court of Appeals ordering the prosecution of Dutch parliamentarian Geert Wilders because he has made statements deemed “insulting” and harmful to “the religious esteem” of Muslims.
- Austrian parliamentarian Susanne Winter convicted of “incitement,” because of public statements she has made, including the claim that the prophet Mohammed was a pedophile.
- Muslim protest marches in Italy that ended with the protestors, in an obvious act of intimidation, conducting mass prayer vigils directly in front of Catholic places of worship.
- The release of an official U.S. government report stating that Hezbollah is forming terrorist cells here in the U.S. that could become operational.
- The UN continuing to move ahead with the “Durban II” conference and its document that is little more than an anti-Israel rant that calls for suppressing public “defamation” of religion – notably Islam. This has run parallel to an effort by the Organization of the Islamic Conference to get the UN Human Rights Commission to pass a resolution condemning public “defamation” of Islam.
My friends, the handwriting is clearly on the wall. Radical Islam is on the march, and it is growing stronger and bolder with every passing day.
What elected official in Europe or the UK will now have the courage to speak out against this threat? Certainly the actions against parliamentarians Wilders and Winter will ultimately have a chilling effect on American elected officials as well.
How many more “no-go zones,” Muslim enclaves where non-Muslims and even police officers fear to go, will appear in Europe? We’re already seeing such enclaves develop here in America right now. There’s a reason why Dearborn, Michigan, is frequently referred to as “Dearbornistan.”
What will happen in America when 50,000 ranting, chanting Islamist demonstrators attempt to aggressively back down and chase police officers trying to maintain order? Will the police use the force necessary? If they do, we can expect howls from groups like CAIR (the Council on American-Islamic Relations). How will government officials respond?
And if the police back down and run, as they recently did in Britain, what message is being sent to radical Islamists?
With the recent announcements by the Obama administration regarding ending the use of certain coercive interrogation practices, will this administration have the courage and use the tools necessary to protect us from Hezbollah, Hamas and al Qaeda terrorist cells in our midst?
It is becoming crystal clear that 2009 is going to be a critical year in our effort to roll back the rising tide of Islamofascism. Over the next several weeks we will be announcing various projects and programs designed so that we can more aggressively and effectively go on the offense against this threat.
I am asking you to pay close attention to these announcements when they occur and to participate in every way you can. We must all come together and ACT! this year, before the worldwide momentum building behind radical Islam becomes too powerful to stop.
Always devoted,
Brigitte Gabriel
An incentive to know our neighbors around the world is found in military conflicts. If we can understand one another, then perhaps we can avoid ticking one another off to the point we are desiring to kill one another. This is not always the case and this is the problem with the bumper sticker mentality that 'war is not the answer.' Sometimes there simply is no other answer. Common sense makes it the last resort but there will always be times when war is the only answer left. In the following videos, we see and hear witness testimony of why war is the only answer in the cases of fundamentalist Islam in many regions around the world and indeed, within our own culture now that we have the beginning fruits of multi-culturalism.
The Middle East is a microcosm of the Islamic problem world wide. Ayaan spoke of Madrassas in England funded and staffed by the radical Islamists of Saudi Arabia. We have the same kind of Madrassas here in the United States.
The history of the current conflict between Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Follow the daily progression of this conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
Relief aide into Gaza Strip is raided by Hamas and the contents of 100 trucks are sold to the highest bidders.
The first rule of negotiations or war or any adversarial role is, know your enemy. To refuse to acknowledge an enemy as an enemy when they openly state their wishes to slit your throat or force you to accept Islam is profoundly foolish. This is a people who do not care what the cost in human tragedy, yours or theirs, so long as they can force you to accept Islam. They openly state and prove their intentions to kill every Jew and yet they call Israel the 'Little Satan' and US the 'Great Satan.' What does that mean? You are a target to people who care less about life than about this 7th century, unimproved poltical system cloaked in theology. With more than 50% of the population being under the age of 15 in Gaza, the Mujahadeen value the warriors more than their children. And that's why they are willing to hide behind their women and children as proven in this video. With this mindset in our enemies, what is there left to talk about? Give them what they want. As stated in the last video, they want death like we want life. Give it to them until they are truly sick of it. Keep giving it to them until they are willing to cleanse this mindset from their own midst.
This is actually the compassionate response to radicalization. It goes along the same lines of Austrian economic theory. If we intervene in economics with compassion to the poor (welfare, subsidies, underwriting risky loans) we create a wealth bubble which inevitably busts and ruins the investers and drives markets into the red. Similarly, if we appease violence, violence is encouraged until the only response is war on national and international levels. If we respond in kind to violence (meaning erradication of the threat) then millions of innocents will be shielded from radicalization and millions of lives will be saved in the process. If you buy into the Keynsian economic theory, you will not see the logic in this, but history proves my analogy in both the economic theory and the proportionate response to violence in a timely manner.
Some may wonder how I, as a Christian, can suggest or encourage bloodletting and war. Okay, here it is. Jesus never confused natioanl policy with personal behavior. He never called on Israel as a nation to lay down their arms and succomb to their enemies. He did teach His disciples to lay down their arms in the face of political and intellectual debates and challenges but He also encouraged them to bring and use swords in their defense on their journeys. This means, He recognized the difference and taught a difference between religious persecution and common evil. So while He advocated self sacrifice in the political sphere, He also advocated personal responsibility to self preservation in the general societal sphere. Extended, this also applies to nations. Israel has the right and the responsibility to preserve its borders and culture and so do we.
I wouldn't have expected this message from a Kennedy, but I'm sure glad to have heard it.
A couple of days ago I had a discussion with a Liberal on another blog about the threats we face, large and small. It started out with the Iranian nuclear program and their intentions. It went from there to asteroids and comets striking the earth. Not too long after that, I was over on YouTube looking at Hubble images and saw whole galaxies colliding. Not just one or two colliding galaxies, but example after example after example.Here we are on this rock, floating around the cosmos trying desperately to kill one another before 'they' kill us. In the meantime, our little rock is being circled by another rock which if knocked out of its orbit could destroy us. Our system is constantly being bombarded with other rocks. As we circle our personal fireball which in turn circles the hub of our personal galaxy, that Hubble image I was looking at showed literally millions of galaxies floating around in a chaotic fashion. The commentary on that video said their collisions are fairly frequent. What happens when galaxies collide? They are destroyed, they birth new galaxies, the peel off their opponents solar systems, or they are scattered as galaxial debris shooting off in all directions.
Going back to my discussion with the liberal being worried about meteors striking the earth, he has reason to be
concerned. I am more concerned with terrorists acquiring nuclear arms. Why? Because I or we can do something about terrorists, but what can we do about rock coming at us from who knows where? What's the point of worrying about something you can't do anything about? Maybe he is an atheist. Maybe he doesn't have anyone to put faith in. We've been here for a long time and I suspect we'll be here a lot longer if we can keep from killing ourselves. Maybe we will be here long enough to become technologically advanced enough to escape this death trap and gather all we need from all those random rocks out there.I believe we won't have to. God promised to come and get us. I realize that sounds illogical on its face, but if you would actually examine the evidence, there is far more there for God's existence and His care for us, than there is from the secularists who prefer not to believe in God, but will believe the disproved theory of evolution. The case has been made that we have a religious need. If you choose not to worship God, you don't avoid faith, you just place your faith in other illogical beliefs. A secularist rather fight second hand smoke, carbon emissions, or even rocks from space than Maoism, communism, Nazism or radical Islam. Which is the more immediate danger? Which is the more immediate need? Will we destroy ourselves with nuclear arms or will we destroy ourselves with second hand smoke? Will we be destroyed by a space rock or a colliding galaxy or will we be destroyed by world domination by radical Islam? What can we do about pollution and space rocks if we are all once again living in a stone age?
If you believe in God, Merry Christmas. If you believe in humanism, merry capitalmas. If you believe in Darwinism, I'm sorry, but please, feel free to celebrate our holidays. We're happy to share our joy with you. If you've joined the church of the Global Climate change, I'm sorry, we are human, which means we consume and leave a carbon footprint. You're free to join the celebration if you want, but I'm sure all that consumerism just puts you in a spin with concern for our planet.

The Rise of Campus Anti-Zionism in California
by Larry Greenfield
inFocus
Winter 2008
America's college campuses have long been bastions of Leftist anti-imperialism, anti-colonialism, and anti-globalism. In recent years, they have also become host to a wave of anti-Zionism. Muslim Student Associations regularly demonize and delegitimize the Jewish state. Recently, the non-sectarian Yale Political Union publicly condemned the U.S.-Israel strategic relationship. Professors have joined in, promoting a dubious criticism of the American foreign policy alliance with the Jewish state.
The strongest anti-Zionist campus movements have been observed on America's "Left Coast." California's Jewish students face increasingly inflammatory rhetoric. Islamist student groups have repeatedly brought fiery anti-Israel speakers to campus, including some who praise suicide bombers, express support for Hamas and Hezbollah, and rail against America and its "Zionist Jews."
Irvine
At the University of California-Irvine, anti-Israel demonstrations in 2002 featured the display of mock "body bags" of Palestinians "murdered" by the Israeli army, with no mention of the terrorist violence that prompted Israeli military actions. Graduation ceremonies in 2004 featured Muslim students wearing green arm sashes in support of Hamas "resistance."
One frequent campus speaker, Oakland-based Muslim cleric Amir Abdel Malik Ali, gave a notorious lecture at UCI in 2006 during a week of activities sponsored by the campus Muslim Student Union under the rubric "Holocaust in the Holy Land." Speaking on a campus plaza behind a sign reading "Israel, the 4th Reich," Ali proudly stated that Israelis are "reluctant to get on buses and things, or go to the café," for fear of terrorist attacks. He gloated, "It's about time that they live in fear."
Ali also glorified terrorism, stating that the Israelis are opposed by "people who are ready to die, who say either ‘victory' or ‘martyrdom.' You can't fight against that."
During a 2005 speech at UCI, he referred to Palestinians who blew up Israeli buses as "freedom fighters," railed against the "Zionist-controlled media," called America "the belly of the beast" and accused Palestinian supporters of a two-state solution of being "Uncle Tom" leaders.
Another repeat guest speaker of UCI's Muslim Student Union is Muhammad Al-Asi, an outspoken cleric and admirer of the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Khomeini. Al-Asi condemns the media for failing to present "information that debunks the Holocaust," calls for Muslims to "take on the cancerous Israeli presence in the Middle East" and says that U.S. troops are in Afghanistan in order "to set back Islamic self-determination for many years to come."

Alan Dershowitz spoke last year at the Festival of Lights for the StandWithUs campaign. In that lecture Dershowitz gave clear and concise justification for the existence of Israel.
Last night I attended the pre-release showing of the new movie, "The Third Jihad." Its done in the style of Obsession, another movie warning us of the real threat Islamism presents. In this one, we are shown the double spearhead of Islamic conversion of Western countries using both peaceful means and violent means. It depicts their present progress right here in the U.S. It presented all the information I've been giving right here on JudgeRight, but it does it in a single presentation with images and by authorities we should be listening to. CIA, Homeland Security, and various other officials as well as eyewitness accounts from ex-Muslims and formerly oppressed Christians residing in predominantly Muslim countries. This is a series of news reports by the big 3 news agencies as well as main stream international news agencies. There are the expected clips of the Muslims saying exactly what they intend to do. In this case, most of these Muslims are Americans. Born and raised right here in a America as Muslims or converted to Islam somewhere along their life paths. I highly recommend you go see this movie to be informed, to support the effort to inform us, to bring neighbors, friends, and family along to inform them. It runs approximately 90 minutes and it is packed full of names, dates, organizations, events, and quotes. It does not promote any political party and it does not shine the limelight on anyone politician's glory. Everyone, from the current president to the current Congress are complicit in relation to the Saudi funding of radical Madrassas planted here in the U.S.
The above picture is of a 12 year old boy executing a man by beheading him. This is the only bit of information I saw in the movie that I had not previously known. Folks, I have been about this since 2001 and blogging about it since the election cycle beginning in 2003. There ain't much I haven't seen on this topic and reported to you.
Now, this movie is going to be met with all the upset that Obsession was met with. Please do your part and insist that your local theater bring it to your community. Otherwise you will not be able to view it and you won't be able to get your neighbors, family, and friends as knowledgeable as are you so that the 100 year Islamic extremist takeover of our way of life and our home land can be stopped before it gets to the point England and France are already facing.
An expert on terrorism is warning the United States should be fighting Islamization, which she believes already is under way. And author Brigitte Gabriel should know: She watched it happen in her native Lebanon.
"Lebanon used to be the only majority Christian country in the Middle East," Gabriel told radio talk show host Andrea Shea King in a recent hour-long interview. "Most people today do not know that. We were the majority, the Muslims were the minority, but as the years went by, the Muslims became the majority because of their birth rate, but also because of our open-border policy.
"We welcomed everyone into our country," Gabriel said, and people didn't realize that the "minority," the Muslims in the society, "was not tolerant" and "did not believe all people were equal."
"They tried to impose their way of thinking on us, and they succeeded," she said.
The result, Gabriel said, was that a radical terrorist organization tied to Islam, Hezbollah, now rules in Lebanon.
As WND reported, Gabriel is fearful that terrorists believe now is the time to strike at America, while it is distracted by financial tension and election turmoil. She expressed the concerns during an interview with KSFO's Barbara Simpson, when she also discussed her new book, "They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It."
Gabriel's new interview with King is available on BlogTalkRadio.
She noted it's been seven years since the Sept. 11, 2001, act of war on U.S. soil by Islamists, but America is falling to Islam's attack, and the battle already is far advanced.
"They do not need to fire a single bullet to destroy us," she said. "They are taking over our country culturally, just like they have taken over Europe."
She said Islam is being taught across the U.S. as part of world history courses for seventh graders.
"A three-week course is teaching students to memorize and recite Islamic prayers and verses from the Quran," she said. "Students have to adopt Islamic names, fast for a day to experience Ramadan, the holiest of Islamic religious holidays, and write about their experience as a Muslim at the end of the program. The exercises during the class include encouraging students to incorporate Arabic phrases such as Allahu Akbar in their speeches, and for students to imagine they were meeting disciples on a pilgrimage to Mecca. This is a state-approved curriculum, using state-adopted textbooks that have been part of the instructional program in California for over a decade."
WND reported this week that a new study shows U.S. textbooks provide "information" such as that Jesus was a Palestinian and the nation of Israel imposes terrorism on others but is not a victim a terrorism.
"Now it is being rolled out nationwide. One book I discuss in particular is 'Across the Centuries,' published by Houghton Mifflin. The Muslim Council on Education has been busy working with the State Department of Education and America's top three publishers who …are literally rewriting history," Gabriel said.
"'Across the Centuries' is a staple in the State of California. This textbook is at best, a well of misinformation. It is 558 pages long and covers the 1500 years from the fall of the Roman Empire and the French Revolution. The text includes 55 pages devoted to Islam, seven pages noting the Middle Ages in Europe, and six pages of Christian history. The chapter on the Byzantine Empire received only six pages. The chapter on Islam accounts for 10 percent of the text, while Christianity and Judaism are almost entirely absent," she said.
"This is public education approved by the State Board of Education nationwide! Our students are being indoctrinated into Islam in our public schools and we don't even have a clue! How can this be allowed to be taught in public schools in America? Most people do not know about it because it is flying under the radar!" she said.
At the university level it's worse, she said.
"What's been happening for the last 16 years, Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states ... because of the money coming from the oil, they have been pumping millions of dollars into our universities appointing Arab professors who are anti-American, anti-Israel, who have been basically brain-washing our students into believe we are the problem," she said.
"The children, who have been educated in American universities for the last 16 years, have graduated and are now working ... not influenced ... by our patriotic education as Americans, but they have been influenced by Arab thinking ... [and] hatred based on revenge," she said.
"The writing is on the wall. Who would have thought that Shariah would come to Harvard University with regulated women-only gym hours? That an imam in Des Moines, Iowa, gave an opening prayer at the 2007 Iowa Legislature's opening session in which he called on Allah to give victory over those who disbelieve? Muslim taxi drivers in Minnesota who refuse to pick up passengers carrying alcohol? The first Islamic public school, the Kahlil Gibran Academy, that opened in 2007, funded by tax dollars! American colleges designating Islamic prayer rooms on campus for use by Muslims only!" Gabriel said.
"Those of us who come from the Middle East and see what's happening in the U.S. ... shake our heads in amazement," she said, calling her book a warning. "We are coming up to a very important election. This is the time we need to understand what is at stake, why our voice counts, why we need to go out and vote. This is the time to make a difference before it is too late," she said.
She said that's why besides her book, she's launched the ActForAmerica.org website.
"We launched this out of American Congress for Truth as our activism and political lobbying arm because I realized talking by itself is only wasting hot air and is entertainment. Action is the only way that's going to make a difference," she said. "History reveals that the apathetic give way to the passionate, the complacent are subdued by the committed. ACT for America.org is mobilizing people all over the country and giving them the tools to resist the Islamic infiltration in our society on every level: schools, governments, universities and corporations.
"Our work is vital in educating the American public about what is happening behind the scenes," she said.
"I encourage people to go to our website Act for America.org. I know we have citizen action training seminars coming up in Kansas City and in Indianapolis within the next two weeks. Sign up and attend them if you are in those areas. And check where we have chapters across the country and either join a chapter, or if there's no chapter in your community, sign up to lead one. Organized power at the grass roots level trumps the voices of political correctness," Gabriel said.
"The radical Islamists promised to destroy us, and as you know from the recent war in Lebanon, that country is now nearly Islamic," she said.

American Children Being
Brainwashed in Taliban Madrassa
Recently
I was invited to attend a weekend meeting that included elected
officials and leaders of organizations concerned about radical Islam.
During that time I had the opportunity to meet with the producers of a documentary entitled “Karachi Kids.” “Karachi Kids” chronicles how children from around the world, including Americans and Canadians, are being sent off to a Pakistani madrassa run by the Taliban, to be brainwashed and sent back to their home countries as jihadists.
The school claims that it has already “graduated” over 100 American children.
Please read the press release below and click on www.karachikids.com to view the trailer.
Then, I urge you to click here to contact your Member of Congress and two U.S. Senators and ask them to support legislation introduced by U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX).
McCaul’s bill, H.Res 1336, calls for an accounting of how many American children are in radical Islamic madrassas in Pakistan. H.Res 1336 encourages "the United States Secretary of State to work with the government of Pakistan to secure the return to the United States of all American children being educated in madrassas in Pakistan."

REGARDING RELEASE OF
AMERICAN CHILDREN FROM
PAKISTANI TALIBAN MADRASSA
(Atlanta, GA) - Imran Raza, the director and executive
producer of the documentary "Karachi Kids" who discovered up to 80
American children in a Taliban-backed madrassa in Pakistan released the
following statement regarding the return of two American children to
Atlanta:
I am grateful for the safe return of the two American children
from Atlanta from a Taliban- backed madrassa but the mullah claims to
have up to 78 more in his institution. The headmaster comes to the
United States once a year and personally recruits American children to
enroll in his madrassa.
The remaining 78 children must be returned to the United States. This pipeline to jihad must be closed.
Let me be clear - these children do not learn math, or science, or
liberal arts. They learn one thing - they memorize over the course of
seven years every verse of the Koran coupled with the radical
interpretation of their teachers.
This is just the first step in integrating these children back to
American society. I am proud we did our part so we could say "Welcome
Home."
It is imperative that Members of Congress and the State
Department undertake an accounting of just how many Americans are in
the other 20,000 madrassas in Pakistan. Hundreds remain behind.
The Karachi Kids is a documentary about American children in the Jamia Binoria madrassa in Karachi Pakistan. A trailer of the film is available at www.karachikids.com.
- Located in Karachi, Pakistan, the Jamia Binoria madrassa was founded by Mufti Muhammed Naeem and espouses Deobandism -- the religion of the Taliban.
- The institution houses over 3,000 students including children from the United States and Canada.
- Selig Harrison, the Director of the Asian Program for the Center for International Policy recently gave a speech reafng the link between the Jamia Binoria and the Taliban: "In Karachi, the Jamia Binoria, withsome 10,000 students enrolled in eight afted madrassas, displays a banner at its main gate urging Muslims to join the Taliban."
- A large number of graduates from the Binoria have become senior es in the Taliban.
- Right before 9/11, Osama bin Laden addressed the students emphasizing the importance of jihad.
- Mufti claims to have graduated over 100 Americans from his institution and asked what they teach the children, Mufti relied, "Islam, not math or anything else, only Islam."
