Daniel Pipes provides an essay that demonstrates (what he calls) soft Islam is as dangerous to the West as violent Islam.
There is a bit of irony though I would like to point out. The theme is the removal of depictions of Mohammed from public buildings especially Court Houses that depict Mohammed as on of a long line historical figures that that were Law Givers. The irony is that I agree with the Mohammedans that these depictions of Mohammed should be removed; however for different reasons than Mohammedans would express.
You see, I am a proud Islamophobe that believes Mohammedanism is a threat to Western Culture. So yeah, let’s dump Mohammed depictions.

I posted suspicions about Barack Hussein Obama’s allegiances regardless of his public profession of Christianity and his public stipulation that close ties would be imperative with our ally Israel if elected President.
I openly wondered just how believable Obama’s assertions are considering his association with people that have been mentors or are current mentors (personally or from afar). These influential people in Obama’s life have been Louis Farrakhan and his UMC Pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. Also Obama has associated with pro-terrorist individuals in fund raisers. And apparently has developed a friendship with Weathermen terrorists who were American anti-war Lefties that murdered people to bring attention to their message.
I openly wondered how the Mainstream Media (MSM) and even Conservatives do not want to rock the boat of Obama’s charismatic popularity. The MSM because they primarily Leftist and they think they have found the man that hasten America’s change to the delusion of an American utopia. The Conservatives because it is Politically Incorrect call Obama on his assertions as opposed to his associations. Unfortunately we all know that Political Correctness is the current paradigm of the ages in Western/American Government and polite society in general.
A bold person stepping up to the plate to ask the tough questions about Obama would be condemned as the falsely maligned Joe McCarthy looking for a witch hunt to victimize innocent people.
Here is another news article by a News Service outside of the MSM. Cybercast News Service asks the questions about why Obama’s website has links to Mohammedan-American organizations promoting their events.
You might ask, “So what?”
Some of these organizations are Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) and the Muslim American Society (MAS). ISNA was an unindicted co-conspirator in the HLF trial which was about funding Arab-Palestinian terrorists Hamas. ICNA has promoted Islamist terrorist speakers to come to event in America and terrorist expert Steven Emerson has noted ICNA’s close ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The MAS was founded as the American branch of the Muslim Brotherhood and has tried to deceive the public with anti-terrorist rhetoric.
I know I have a lot of links to back up my assertions and you should check them out.
Can Americans seriously potentially elect Obama as President with all of these associations directly and indirectly linked to his political career? What does Obama really mean with his slogan of “Change?”
William F. Buckley Jr. died today at the age of 82. I did not always see I to eye with Buckley since his was more of a rigid Paleocon and I leaning toward a Neocon; however it must be said he was a bastion of Conservatism in a day when it was ridiculed as followers without intellect and the true political giants were the supposed intellectual Left Wing Liberals.
Buckley did not buckle and demonstrated an intellectual wit that diminished a Lefty even if the person had key factual points to support an argument. Buckley was no moron as the Leftists of his day considered a Conservative in the 50’s and 60’s. Lefties might think twice before locking horns a truly superior political intellect with a remarkable command of the English language.
I cancelled my RSS feed of Buckley today when I read that he had left this world for the next. My RSS feed was from Yahoo and Buckley last post about a debate between Obama and Hillary had. The article was dated February 1, 2008.
I wonder if any of Buckley’s observations will prescient of the race.
Here is an example of Leftist Judges establishing Secular Humanism as a religion in America. A father in Massachusetts in 2005 was upset that the Public School sent home reading material for his son promoting the acceptance of homosexual behavior.
The Father file a civil suit against the Public school which was dismissed in Federal Court and in the Appellate Court ruled that teaching homosexuality did not violate parental rights. Now the Father is taking his cause to the Supreme Court.
Another family became upset with a Public School in 2006 because it sent home reading material for their second grader about two homosexual Kings that were lovers. This family joined the Father of the five year old in the Law Suit which is on its way to the Supreme Court.
On paper this Law Suit is about Parental Rights VS what the Government can instruct children in Public School.
The reality is different. It is about establishing the value and moral system of Secular Humanism in America. That makes a system that calls itself “secular” a religious system.
Leftists have interpreted the First Amendment’s intent of NOT establishing a State religion as Separation of Church and State. The phrase “Separation of Church and State” is found no where within the United States Constitution in the original document or the first 10 Amendments that has come to be known as the Bill of Rights.
Leftist Courts have used the illusion of Separation of Church and State to slowly erode Christianity from any connection in government on the local, State and Federal level. These Leftist Christophobes have changed Community Nativity Scenes that have been found on public grounds because it violates the Separation of Church and State myth. Leftist Courts have begun telling the Government to remove references to Judeo/Christianity from public buildings because it violates the Leftist interpretation of the First Amendment. The primary public property removals usually relate to the Ten Commandments or Crosses at Public Memorials. These representations of Christianity are symbols of values and morality; thus Leftist Courts are refuting Christian values and Christian morality in the name of the delusion of the Separation of Church and State.
Secular Humanism has emerged as a religion that places faith in the objective evidence of human discovery (facts derived by the validation of Science). Secular Humanism glorifies humanity as self-existent rather than created by God. In other words values and morals are relative to what feels good for humanity in the sense realm. Thus what is normal like a male and female is the foundation to producing progeny. The progeny learning their roles in life from the examples set by male and female parents.
Since it feels good to a group of humanity to have same gender sex, Secular Humanist morals and values would dictate that children acquired (obviously not produced from the same gender) can learn what is normal from same sex cohabitation.
In Secular Humanism, values and morality are measured on a sliding scale rather than a paradigm that fixes normality, values and morals.
Faith in Secular Humanism has probably led to the greatest degeneration of Western Society. Violence, promiscuity (homosexuals and heterosexuals), community trust, the disintegration of the cohesion of the family which leads to mutual disrespect between human individuals and on and on.
In essence Secular Humanism is a religion.
The First Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Judicial Branch of Government has basically ESTABLISHED Secular Humanism as the Religion of the Land. The Judicial Branch’s extra-Constitutional legislation has overstepped it’s purpose. The Congress is the Legislative Branch which exists to create law and the parameters of a fiscal budget within the confines of the Constitution. The Presidential Administration is the Executive Branch which exists to manage the Government and enforce the Laws enacted by the Legislative Branch. The Judicial Branch exists to adjudicate civil and government law. The Judicial Branch interprets law and provides clarity to gray areas of law.
Legislation is not the Judicial Branch’s jurisdiction; yet that is exactly what Leftists in the Judiciary have done by ESTABLISHING Secular Humanism as the religion of the Land. Thus forcing the traditional religion of the Land too often being in contradiction of the unconstitutional Established State religion of Secular Humanism.

A lot of people think the Democratic Party is on the fast track to winning the White House in 2008. Of the many people, the prediction is Barack Hussein Obama will be that Democrat.
With that in mind, the primary theme of Obama is the word “change.” The only defining allusion to the word “change” at this moment is something different from the status quo of Washington politics. Anyone with any sense is aware that a fringe Leftist like Obama is not going to change the status quo of politics in Washington. He will be just as polarizing receiving enmity from the Right as GW received enmity from the Left.
The first item of “change” will be for a Democratic Party President to bring the troops home from Iraq preventing victory which is now just a hands grasp away and probably throwing the oil rich Iraq into a chaos with an Iranian predator next door.
Thus leaving Iraq would probably lead numerable bad things, of which the Saudis and Europe will clamor for the return of the American military to clean up.
A chaotic Iraq will lead to an invasion from the north from Turkey to make sure oil endowed Kurds do not form an independent nation. A chaotic Iraq will lead to a civil war between Sunnis and Shias that has nearly been solved by the current Troop Surge. Then Iran will make its play to either create a Shia Islamist Iraq or simply annex the Shia dominated part of Iraq next door to Iran.
The in between time of the Democrats removing troops from Iraq and an impending chaos in Iraq, an international proclamation that transnational terrorism (of which al Qaeda appears to be the most notorious to Americans) has defeated the most powerful nation in the world – the United States of America – will be shouted from the Islamist roof tops.
This will place some swagger on some goals of transnational Islamist terrorism to spread Islam by further terrorism and embolden Western Islamists to require more concessions in the rule of law to practice Sharia Law as opposed to the Rights and Liberty oriented values of Western Culture.
Since Europeans tend to be appeasement minded lefties supporting many of the issues of why Islamism exists, the rule of law debate between Islam and Western values is already an issue.
In America where Islamist dominated organizations in private yet publicly deluding the American public and Left that they are of a moderate nature, will begin to emulate their Islamist brothers in Europe. The demand for Sharia exclusivity apart from Constitutional Law will begin. This kind of demand will undermine the current Leftist stand on Separation of Church and State as the Islamic religion is given government privileges and perks to practice Islam under government protection and involvement all in the name of the delusion of multiculturalism.
Thus all those years of work by the Left to rid the local, State and Federal government of Christian heritage will become a hypocrisy as Islam is protected by the Government. For example it will be a hate crime for Christians to condemn Islam according to Biblical Scriptures but it will be Freedom of Speech for Islam to proclaim its superiority over all other religions and those religions that criticize Islamic superiority will be a hate crime. Can anyone say self-imposed dhimmitude?
The Islamist deception is already spreading in America’s public domain via the so-called moderate non-profit Islamic organizations and non-profit Islamic civil rights organizations. Islamists are highly involved in American Mosques and American Public and Private Schools.
Steven Emerson recently has wrote a blog post which I found at Political Mavens criticizing the Mainstream Media (specifically the New York Times in this instance) for proclaiming moderate bona fides to obvious Islamists who wish to bring down the American way of life by hook or by crook.
In this case the Islamists are members and speakers the Muslim Students’ Association (MSA), which was directly founded by the Muslim Brotherhood out of Egypt. The Muslim Brotherhood’s roots reach all the way back to the cooperation of Hassan al Banna and Amin el-Husseini that supported and received support from Adolf Hitler due to a mutual hatred of Jews.
Steven Emerson demonstrates there is ABSOLUTELY nothing moderate about the MSA which is highly involved on American University campuses nationally.
Is this the scenario you as an American wish to get rolling by supporting the Democratic Party? God Almighty I pray not! Vote Republican!
Here is a “WAKE-UP AMERICA MOMENT” that I have been harping on for quite some time. Saudi Wahhabi Sunni Islamism dominates the Mosques and Mohammedan schools in America. They are brain washing American-Muslim youth with Jihad literature and preaching to American-Muslim adults via the Mosque with Jihad literature.
Which nation is responsible for teaching a culture of intolerant hate and Mohammedan Supremacism? That would be Saudi Arabia, the nation that the State Department is wooing and acquiescing everything toward because of the immediate threat of Islamist Shia Iran in the Middle East.
It is like the American pro-Arab functionaries in whatever bureaucratic stratosphere of American who chosen the perceived lesser of two evils believing radical Islamist Shi’itism is the greater of the two evils.
This choice affects two extremely important issues: one at home and the other globally. The first is the allowing Wahhabi Islamism to be an influence in America as it is in Britain and Europe in which critics are calling that continent Eurarabia. The problems affecting Free Speech and the Western rule of law in Europe will become the problems of the United States of America. The second issue is promoting and arming Sunni nations in the Middle East (incredibly even Palestinian terrorists) to the weakening and potential destruction of Israel. Israel is a nation and land created in the 20th century as a result of long time Western Jewish prejudice that reached its height with Hitler’s Holocaust. Western guilt in 1945 momentarily reached out in sympathy to Jews promoting a land where Jews could live without a government persecuting them for their religion or heritage.
I say “momentarily” because yet again Europeans are slipping back into the habit of anti-Semitism under the Leftist romance of a delusion of sympathy for Arab culture and Islamist propaganda matriculated from Wahhabi Saudi Arabia (hence the term “Eurarabia”)
I can understand the realism of pitting Saudi Arabian influence against Iranian influence; however not to the detriment of our own American Culture, National Interests and National Security.
Dear God in Heaven work out a balance! I am aware that Saudi Arabia could posture negative threats to America as it has done in Britain; however it is also true the Saudi Royals fear a radical Islamist revolution that could sweep the Saudi Royals from power if Iran becomes the Middle Eastern military hegemon. A smart course would be to meet extortion with extortion based on the Saudi fears and boot Wahhabi Islamism from the American soil. After all it was the Wahhabi influenced al Qaeda terrorist organization that pulled a Pearl Harbor on American soil on September 11, 2001 transforming freedom of movement in America by forcing intrusive observations on Commercial flight travelling. That diminished Liberty in the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave is a direct result of Sunni Wahhabi ideology that spouts from Saudi Arabia and its cousin the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Both of these nations are allegedly American allies and are the recipients of huge American military technology and Arms.
Like I said: WAKE-UP AMERICA!
Move America Forward (MAF) is continuing to make an issue of the Berkeley City Council’s unpatriotic stance toward the United States Marine Corps (USMC). You should be aware that MAF was the principle proponent in exposing Berkeley’s City Council attempt to remove a Marine recruiting office from Berkeley.
Also MAF was the principle pro-American/pro-Troop organization that exposed the treasonous actions of Code Pink Stink in literally chaining themselves in front of the Marine recruiting office to illegally prohibit people to enter. Code Pink Stink would call that a protest however when such actions are taken to that extent it reaches beyond free speech to the intrusion of operations of federal government operations.
The City Council actually gave Code Pink Stink a permit to protest intrude the Marine recruiting office directly on the parking area in front of the door.
MAF publicity humiliated the City Council to rescind an official letter to the Marines telling them to get out of town.
Thank God MAF is placing advertising of the Berkeley City Council treachery on spots in local television and Cable TV outlets on national television.
To see an example of the first ad watch HERE.
MAF needs the financial support of American Patriots to place this ad and similar future ads on television. Berkeley is not the only bastion Left Wing defeatism in America, there are other cities. MAF can make voters aware of the nature of the Leftist delusions being spread across America.
You can donate to MAF at this link: https://www.completecampaigns.com/FR/contribute.asp?campaignid=Move or at this link: http://www.moveamericaforward.org/index.php/MAF/Contribute#PayPal
Cat Moy the Executive Director of MAF has this message for Patriots: “We will not give up this fight - but if we are to win it, we'll need some ammo, and that means money to get our message heard.”
Huckabee still has a strategy to win the Republican nomination. Huckabee’s strategy is to pick up enough delegates to keep McCain from the magic number of a first ballot nomination – 1,191.
Even if McCain leads in the delegate count, if it is less than 1,191 then the Republican Convention goes into extra ballots.
Huckabee’s new strategy is totally contingent on being successful in Texas and Ohio.

Man this is an excellent article!

Yasser Abed Rabbo is a top aide of Palestine Authority terrorist President Mahmoud Abbas. He has recently quipped that Palestinians are better than the Muslims of Kosovo which just became a recognized sovereign nation in the Balkans area of Europe. Rabbo is reported as saying the Arabs that call themselves Palestinians should unilaterally declare their independence as well.
The BBC News story I read this at made sure to use all the pro-Arab/Palestine words such as “occupied.” The story is also slanted to promote sympathy for the cough victimized Arabs that call themselves Palestinians.
In case anyone was wondering there was no such thing as a land called Palestine after 1948. That year Israel declared independence and various Arab nations (notably Egypt, Syria and (then) Transjordan (now) Jordan) invaded the new independent nation of Israel. The land that was supposed to be a Palestinian State for Arabs became a part of the sovereign Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
In 1967 Jordan was part of a greater Arab plan preparing to invade and dismantle Israel. The obvious troop movements indicated the imminent invasion was on the way. Israel chose not to be a victim and simply preemptively attacked Egypt, Syria, Iraq and Jordan. What became known as the Six Day War became a complete victory for Israel occupying the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the Golan Heights from Syria and most importantly the uniting of a divided Jerusalem and what the West calls the West Bank and Israel calls Judea and Samaria.
The land won from aggressor Jordan has been considered part of traditional Jewish land from their historical perspective. It was land acquired by right of victory of Jordan. The land was not taken from Palestinians, it was taken from Jordan. The holy city Jerusalem was finally united under Jewish sovereignty.
Now here is the thing: Rabbo says the Palestine Authority should unilaterally declare a sovereign nation and call it Palestine just as Kosovo did. Kosovo was a province of Serbia of which 90% of the primary ethnic group is Albanians and over 70% of the Kosovo population is Muslim. Serbia did not want to allow Kosovo independence; however American support became the leading factor toward Kosovo independence.
Rabbo has the view if Muslim Kosovo gained sovereign independence from a nation which did not wish to allow it to happen, then the global powers of America and the EU should guarantee a similar sovereignty to a Palestine State.
You know what? I don’t think that is such a bad idea. Probably not in the same way as the PA/PLO leadership views it; however I think Palestine declaring itself a nation unilaterally with the land the currently possess is not a bad idea.
Here is my scenario. Israel has all of Jerusalem. A unilateral declaration of independence will not change that. Unless Israel and Palestine work out an economic and resource package, Palestine would be on their own to figure that out. Their Arab neighbors should step up to the plate for that anyway.
Here is my thinking of a probable outcome of Palestinian independence. The Palestinians would acquire weapons from Russia or China or worse – from North Korea. The thugs that are leaders in Palestine will inspire their constituency to have animosity toward Israel. I suspect a combined Palestine, Syria and Hezbollah (nation within a nation) will do something foolish because of the results of the last Israel VS Hezbollah war in Lebanon. Then Israel dismantles the new Palestinian State, maybe even chasing the ding dongs that supported the thug Palestinian government into Jordan or Syria.
Time will tell.
