Here is another wake-up moment that will likely be pooh-poohed by blind Left and decried as racism or an attack on the freedom to practice the theo-political cult know as Islam (as you probably know I prefer Mohammedanism).
Those of you who call yourselves moderates and Slanted Right need to educate yourself and (God Please!) be aware there is an Islamic agenda. Although that agenda is funded by radical Muslims (Sunni and Shia), that agenda is extremely influential on the thinking of Muslims who publicly abhor the violence perpetuated by radical Islamic terrorists.
How or why is that possible?
Because there is a silent movement among well funded Islamists to silently slide into Western finance and economy with concepts of Sharia Finance. The Capitalists of the West buy into it because if it makes a profit it cannot be bad. Western Leftists of ignorant of Sharia Finance because of their blind concepts of egalitarianism that chooses to humanistically accept Mohammedans as multi-cultural equals not realizing that Mohammedans do not share Western egalitarianism.
What I am saying my fellow Americans and deluded Europeans is this: Wealthy Mohammedans influenced by Wahhabi/Muslim Brotherhood Sunnis or Twelver Shi’ites are utilizing the West’s own laws and financial institutions like the devil in Eden deceiving Eve. You know: bite this fruit of Islamist funding and endowments and the money will make you wise.
Unfortunately the deception is to systematically tear down Western Culture and ease Islamic Culture in its place. It is almost as if the transnational terrorists are an armed distraction while the little foxes enter the hen house and eat the chickens and their progeny and the farmer is off hunting for big wolves.
I have yet another long essay for you to read that paints a clear picture of that which I am writing. One of the authors is Rachel Ehrenfeld who a Saudi Islamist billionaire tried to silence by using foreign courts (to America) in a civil suit which does not use American jurisprudence.
Rachel lost the suit (not travelling across the ocean) but won the war. New York has enacted what has become known as Libel Terrorism Protection Act and the Federal Government is working on legislation to protect all Americans.

I received an email from Allyson of Shariah Finance Watch. The name of the blog alone should be a hint to the nature of the email.
Allyson writes that the Governor of New York signed in to Law the Libel Terrorism Protection Act. I will hence forward refer to LTPA as Allyson does – Rachel’s Law.
There is a good reason for Rachel’s Law. Rachel Ehrenfeld wrote a book entitled Funding Evil. The book is an exposé on Islamist networks funding terrorist activities from the West that go toward the agenda of violent jihad, which means the Global War on Terrorism (GWOT).
I say “The West” but the brains of much the Western Terrorist fund raising originates from Saudi Arabia, Iran, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Muslim Brotherhood’s loose offshoots like Hamas of Palestine and Jamaat ul-Fuqra of Pakistan (a mere few).
Rachel’s Law emerged because a Saudi billionaire – Khalid bin Mahfouz – sued Ehrenfeld for placing his name among the funders of evil. In America bin Mahfouz would have to prove his case as the plaintiff that Ehrenfeld tarnished his name. Of course that would not happen and Mahfouz would risk American scrutiny of his operations by being forced to divulge discovery documentation or witnesses that the defense would ask for (Hello CAIR and Andrew Whitehead). So what did bin Mahfouz do?
He sued Ehrenfeld in the United Kingdom where the book Funding Evil was never published thus was not on the British Market. BUT some correctly curious British citizens purchased the book somehow (I forget the details; it was by Internet or other means). At the time I believe we are talking less than ten.
Bin Mahfouz utilized British Civil Law to sue Ehrenfeld who is NOT a British citizen for defamation. Guess what? In Britain (and much of Europe) the Defendant has to prove they did not injure or defame the Plaintiff rather than the other way around as in America.
Ehrenfeld is not a British Citizen and chose not to raise the money for an expensive lawsuit in a foreign nation that was backed by a billionaire’s money. She did not show up.
The British moronic Judge (or whatever they call them in the UK) decided to sock it too Ehrenfeld with a heavy financial judgment in favor of bin Mahfouz.
Now International Law comes into play. Can the International Community (that would be the auspices of the UN) force a U.S. citizen to pay damages awarded a foreigner in a foreign Court under proceedings that would be Unconstitutional in America?
The Law was (and still is in other States) murky in America.
Ehrenfeld began to fight back in America. First she went to the New York State Court system seeking legal protection. The New York Courts ultimately ruled they had no jurisdiction over a foreign Court.
Then politicians in the State of New York got behind Ehrenfeld because bin Mahfouz’s British Judicial Award affected publishing houses in New York (and America) that did business Internationally at least in marketing. Publishing houses would not publish anti-Jihad or anti-Islamist books for fear of a foreign Civil Suit.
Thank God the New York Legislature stepped up to the plate and passed Rachel’s Law which was signed into law on May 1st.
It doesn’t stop in New York though. There are 49 other States in America’s Union. The fight is going on to make Rachel’s Law a national law.
Here is the email I received from Allyson:
Want to Protect your First Amendment Rights? Then please help preserve them, by making a contribution to support the hero behind Rachels Law! This is very important!

Dear Journalists, Blogers, Writers and Readers: Please help preserve our First Amendment rights - the cornerstone of American democracy!
Is preserving Freedom of Speech worth $10, $15, or $20.00 to you?
Please consider making a small donation to the efforts of Dr. Rachel Ehrenfeld, the force behind the recently enacted Rachel’s Law, New York’s Libel Terrorism Protection Act which was signed by New York Governor David Patterson on May 1, 2008. Dr. Ehrenfeld has struggled on behalf of all of us for the past four years to pass a bill protecting the First Amendment from foreign libel lawsuits. According to R. James Woolsey, former Director of the CIA: “Rachel Ehrenfeld has done all serious students of this long war in which we are engaged a great service…”
Simply click here: http://www.acdemocracy.org/support.php#donate to contribute. If everybody will make a small contribution, it will allow Dr. Ehrenfeld to continue her critically important work. This law is only the start of what is required to ensure that American authors and publishers can write and distribute works that deal with funding terrorism and publish work vital to our national security without fear of being driven to bankruptcy.
Background
Following the publication of her book Funding Evil: How Terrorism is Financed - and How to Stop It, published in the U.S. in 2003, Dr. Ehrenfeld identified Khalid bin Mahfouz, a billionaire banker to the Saudi royal family as a leading terrorism financier. In 2004, Bin Mahfouz responded by suing Ehrenfeld — not in the U.S., but in England, which is friendlier to libel claims because 23 copies of Funding Evil had entered England through on-line sales.
Rather than back down, Ehrenfeld courageously chose to fight the false charges and worked to preserve the First Amendment rights that are the cornerstone of American democracy. Rachel’s Law will protect American journalists and authors from foreign lawsuits that infringe on First Amendment rights. This law, however, is only the start of what is required to ensure that American authors and publishers can write and distribute works that deal with funding terrorism and publish work vital to our national security without fear of being driven to bankruptcy.
(attention other bloggers, please post this, and lets support this effort which affects all of us. This is the first time on my blog I have requested a donation, because this is an effort that protects us too.)
I went to check out Allyson’s blog and have discovered that there is now a national move in Congress to enact a Federal version of Rachel’s Law. You need to read it to keep informed on keeping our First Amendment rights untouchable from foreign Courts, foreign Islamists funding evil and local Islamists in America that support Libel Terrorism.
This is excellent news from Act for America concerning the prevention of Islamists from suing American Writers in foreign courts and expecting enforcement in America.
Foreign Court civil suits were one way Islamists were trying to silence American writers who publish in America from exposing Islamism.

Remember how Saudi billionaire sponsor of Islamist terrorism Sheikh Khalid Bin Mahfouz sued American Rachel Ehrenfeld for writing the book “Funding Evil” which implicated him among others in financing Islamist terrorist networks?
For those that don’t know the story of Saudi Islamist bin Mahfouz, you make think big deal. Billionaires, Corporations and the rich and famous sue for defamation all the time.
Yes but you see in America bin Mahfouz has to provide the burden of proof he was defamed are libeled. Since bin Mahfouz is an Islamist, I have no doubt in mind he is guilty as the stench of sin permeating a brothel. Why do I think this? I think this because bin Mahfouz did not litigate in America where “Funding Evil” was published, rather he sued in Britain in which the book was NOT published but a handful of Brits bought it on the Internet.
In Britain libel and defamation is the burden of the defendant to prove his or her case is the truth.
So let’s smell the bin Mahfouz stench: he sued in Britain for a book that was not published there making an American citizen (not a British citizen) to come up with money in a foreign land to defend her book in a foreign court according to the laws of a foreign nation. Man that stinks!
If you don’t know the rest of the story, Ehrenfeld chose not to attend the stench wreaking ploy of bin Mahfouz because of money and her (and I agree) feeling the lack of jurisdiction of the British legal system over a book not published in Britain.
When Ehrenfeld did not show up in Britain, the Brit Judge adjudicated harshly in favor of the billionaire Islamist bin Mahfouz.
The repercussions of the Brit Judge did not only affect Ehrenfeld. It set of a tidal wave of Publishing House fear in America that anti-Islamist or anti-Jihadist literature could make the publisher a co-defendant in Courts of foreign lands where they actually do sell books. In effect bin Mahfouz snuffed good old fashioned American Freedom of Speech using foreign civil laws.
Ehrenfeld went to the State Court of which her Publishing House to seek legal protection from civil suits of foreign lands, viz. Britain in this case. The State Court in New York chose not to hear Ehrenfeld’s case citing a lack of jurisdiction outside of the State of New York.
The State Court’s decision was probably the correct decision even though it was disappointing. The disappointment being the British Court should have thrown out bin Mahfouz’s litigation for the same reason – the lack of jurisdiction. Then the case went to the New York State Appellate Court – same jurisdictional ruling. Fortunately the New York State Assembly and Senate woke up and introduced “Libel Terrorism Protection Act” (S.6687/A.9652).
A recent email from Act For America has informed me that the New York State Senate has done their part and unanimously passed the Libel Terrorism Protection Act.
Libel Terrorism Protection Bill Passed Unanimously by the New York Senate!
Dear John,
If you haven’t already heard, last week the Libel Terrorism Protection bill unanimously passed the New York State Senate. This is a significant victory in the process toward this bill becoming law.
As you may recall, the bill was introduced to protect New York authors and journalists from libel lawsuits filed in the courts of foreign jurisdictions. These lawsuits are typically intended to intimidate and silence reporting about terrorism and terrorist-related activities, and they are filed in courts of foreign jurisdictions where free speech and press is not protected to the degree it is here in the U.S.
We do not know how many of you called or emailed members of the New York Senate, but to all of you who did we say “thank you!” You helped make this happen!
We are presenting our Libel Terrorism Protection petition and its nearly 7,000 signees to the New York Assembly, where the bill is still under consideration, currently in the Judiciary Committee.
Yours in Defense of America,
Guy Rodgers
Executive Director
Now when the New York State Assembly does its job it will be Western Culture not only giving bin Mahfouz a black-eye, but all Islamists that routinely use Western litigation laws to undermine Western Culture will receive a poke as well.
It will be interesting to see if the Islamist hoodwinkers will use the Federal Court system to nullify New York State legislation. If Islamists go that far, it will be interesting to see which Islamist while file litigation knowing that they will also have to turn over Discovery requested by the Defendants. That is how Andrew Whitehead of Anti-CAIR shot down CAIR’s civil suit against him. CAIR was not willing to give up information in the Discovery process.
