        <summary>It has been over two months since Shaima Alawadi was bludgeoned to death in her own home in El Cajon, CA. The initial reports were that it was an anti-Muslim hate crime, and then it was leaked that Shaima was seeking a divorce and that her daughter was caught hot and heavy in the car with a man and later jumped out of a moving car during a dispute with her mother. Will this turn into another cover-up with no arrests, like the 2009 Fatima Abdallah case in Tampa, FL? Here are some officials who need to update the public on what is happening with this case: El Cajon Police Chief Jim Redman at jredman@ci.el-cajon.ca.us or phone (619) 579-3351 San Diego County Sheriff William D. Gore at bill.gore@sdsheriff.org or phone (858) 974-2222. If you are killing while Muslim in America, apparently different rules apply. Shaima Alawadi died on March 21. It appears increasingly likely that someone in her family was involved in her murder. They used the hate crime/bigot card to try to frame innocent people. And hate groups like Hamas-CAIR, #OWS Occupy, ISNA, etc. jumped on the hate train and blamed Spencer and me as part of their Muslim-victimhood-myth narrative, aka the fictitious 'backlashophobia." This is an islamic pattern to create fictional victims and then blame innocent non-Muslims. More faked hate. But it became immediately known that the evidence pointed to the family, who, in turn, used the ruse of "burying Shaima in Iraq" to leave the country. Why Shaima was buried in Iraq is anyone's guess. She lived in the United States for twenty years, most of her adult life. She was divorcing her husband. Why did law enforcement allow two people who must be considered suspects in Shaima's honor murder to leave the country? Shaima was taken to Iraq, accompanied by her daughter Fatima and her husband Kassim Al-Himidi (whom she was divorcing). They arrived in Iraq on March 31, and have just returned to the States. Why were they allowed to leave at all? When El Cajon Police Chief Jim Redman was asked that, he replied merely by saying that the investigation was ongoing. But how responsible an investigation could possibly be conducted when two key witnesses and possible suspects are allowed to leave the country, with no guarantee they would return at all? And where are the million hijabs for Shaima? Where are the million hijabs against honor killings? The brutal killing of a California Muslim woman is not a "hate crime," but rest assured that there will be no media stampede to correct the deliberate lie. For the Islamic supremacists and the media, this poor woman has served her purpose. Add her to the pile of dead Muslim women and girls whose murders are covered up and swept under the rug. It was the pro-sharia rhetoric of Reza Aslan and Hamas groups like CAIR, ISNA, ICNA, MSA, MSU, et al that aided in the killing of and subsequent cover-up of the murder of Shaima...</summary>

        <summary>What total schmucks they think we are, and Obama doesn't disappoint: Iran Balks at Curbing Nuclear Program But Agrees to Keep Talking - Steven Erlanger Iran appeared to balk Wednesday at a detailed proposal presented by six world powers to address urgent concerns about its nuclear program, including a freeze on its enrichment of uranium that could be converted to bomb-grade fuel, but both sides agreed to keep talking. The most important part of the six-power proposal called for Iran to stop enrichment of uranium to 20% purity, which is a short technical step away from highly enriched uranium that can be weaponized. The six powers rejected Iranian calls f or an immediate easing of economic sanctions, a position that clearly appeared to disappoint the Iranian side.

<p>His government maintains a nuclear weapon in the hands of Iran would threaten the Jewish state's survival.</p>
<p>Israel is not alone in believing Tehran is pursuing nuclear research  with military applications – or considering a military strike in Iran's  nuclear sites.</p>
<p>US ambassador to Israel Daniel Shapiro this week indicated Iran now had a very short "window" in which to agree to a diplomatic solution.</p>
<p>"It would be preferable to resolve this diplomatically and through  the use of pressure than the use of military force," Shapiro said during  a speech in Tel Aviv.</p>
<p>"But that doesn't mean that option is not fully available - not just  available, but it's ready. The necessary planning has been done to  ensure that it's ready."</p>
<p>While US officials have made tangential references to a "military  options" vis-a-vis Iran, none have done so in such forthright terms to  date.</p>
<p>International Atomic Energy Agency officials are pressing Iran to  address concerns spelled out in an extensive IAEA report released in  November 2011.</p>
<p>The report alleges that at least until 2003, and probably since then,  Tehran has engaged in nuclear activities of a decidedly military  nature.</p>
<p>They also want access to the Parchin military base near Tehran where  the IAEA report – which cited foreign intelligence, its own sources, and  Iranian information – said Iran had conducted high-explosives tests in a  specially designed chamber.</p>
<p>Two previous trips to Tehran in January and February by the IAEA resulted in Iran denying inspectors access to suspected nuclear sites.</p>
<p>Iran, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, is  obligated to allow the UN watchdog access to its site for inspections to  ensure it is complying with the treaty.</p>
<p>IAEA chief Yukiya Amano said recently that access to Parchin was a "priority" and that "activities" spotted by satellite there "makes us believe that going there sooner is better than later."</p>
<p>In March, Amano also charged Iran with a systemic attempt to cover up  nuclear activity of a military nature saying, "Iran is not telling us  everything."</p>
<p>Western nations have accused Iran of removing evidence from Parchin  and other sites - and Tehran's Gulf Arab rivals have also charged Iran  is seeking nuclear weapons.</p>

        <summary>In a federally funded program, students will now be required to take Arabic in elementary school. Mandatory Arabic? Your taxpayer dollars at work to advance Islamic culture. Islamic supremacism on the march in the public square. Mark Steyn discussed this very thing when we were fighting an Arabic public school in Brooklyn here in New York City (Pamela Hall led the charge and took the incriminating photo of the "intifada NYC' tee-shirt that led to the prinicpal Almontaser's ouster).

NYC gets first elementary school Arabic classes Wall Street Journal (hat tip Jeff) NEW YORK — An elementary school in Harlem is the first in New York City to offer regular Arabic-language instruction. City officials are joining founders of the program at Public School 368 for an official announcement Wednesday. The program is sponsored by the educational nonprofit Global Language Project and by the Qatar Foundation International. Second-graders at P.S. 368 have been learning Arabic in a 10-week pilot program. All the students in the second through fifth grades will learn Arabic starting in the fall. They will have two 45-minute Arabic classes each week. Global Languages Project founder Angela Jackson said the Arabic classes will be a draw for parents. Several New York City high schools teach Arabic, and the Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn offers Arabic instruction to seventh- and eighth-graders. Khalil Gibran International Academy in Brooklyn was the first public school madrassah that failed and was forced to close. Is the Wall Street Journal shilling for this garbage?</summary>

        <summary>Obama is leaking the names of top secret operatives in the OBL capture and kill to Hollywood morons so that these tools can make Obama the hero of an OBL movie. All this while the body count piles up in Obama's preening and strutting wake. ...... one of Hollywood's biggest Obama boosters may be plotting to drop a second film into the early Fall schedule, one celebrating the president's biggest accomplishment - the killing of Osama bin Laden. (more here and here.) The President's? Really? Look at what Judicial Watch found when it got hold of e-mails between the production company and the administration, as reported by Josh Gerstein at Politico: Just weeks after Pentagon and Central Intelligence Agency officials warned publicly of the dangers posed by leaks about the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, top officials at both agencies and at the White House granted Hollywood filmmakers unusual access to those involved in planning the raid and some of the methods they used to do it, newly released government records show. At a briefing in July 2011, Undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence Mike Vickers told filmmakers Michael Boal and Katherine Bigelow that the leaders of the the Special Operations Command couldn’t speak to them for appearances’ sake. However, Vickers said that the Pentagon would make available a Navy SEAL who was involved in planning the raid from its earliest stages. “On the operators side, Adm. McRaven and Adm. Olson do not want to talk directly, because it’s just a bad, their [sic] just concerned as commanders of the force and they’re telling them all the time—don’t you dare talk to anybody, that it’s just a bad example if it gets out—even with all sorts of restrictions and everything,” Vickers said, according to a transcript of the meeting released Friday to Judicial Watch. The conservative watchdog group filed a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit demanding the documents. Judicial Watch has much more, including the declared intent to use “White House talking points” to shape the film. Meanwhile, the doctor who led us to OBL is going to jail for 33 years. The man and his family should be given political asylum in the West immediately. Where is Obama? Our State Department? Why are we abandoning this guy after he risked his life to help us? Why is he being charged with treason by Pakistan? They claimed Bin Laden was their enemy, too. Obama is so sleazy.

        <summary>Once again we see the sharia being used as retribution for some perceived slight. It is an Islamic pattern to settle disputes with non-Muslims by accusing them of blasphemy and letting the sharia courts exact their brutal and inhuman punishment. I was first in reporting this story here, "Sharia: Non-Muslim Arrested for offending Islam, thousands of Muslim clerics demand the "blasphemer" be handed over to them." Now we know why. The Christian probably beat the Muslims at pool. Pakistani Christian Accused of 'Blasphemy' After Billiards Dispute By Compass Direct News | LAHORE, Pakistan – Police in Pakistan have charged a young Christian man with "blasphemy" after he had an argument with Muslims over a billiards game in Punjab Province's Sheikhupura district, his cousin said. Farooqabad Police arrested Sajid Inayat, 20, on Friday (May 18) and charged him with desecrating the Quran under the country's controversial blasphemy laws after area young men accused him of setting on fire "holy pages" placed in a box on an electricity pole, Irfan Manzoor said. Inayat was charged under Section 295-B, which makes willful desecration of the Quran or use of an extract in a derogatory manner punishable with life imprisonment. Manzoor told Compass by telephone that his cousin had been falsely accused because he had had an argument with some local Muslim boys over a billiards game just two days before the alleged incident. "Sajid was heading to his shop [of construction material and scrap] on Friday morning when he came across the Muslim boys with whom he had a squabble the other day," Manzoor said. "The boys accused Sajid of setting fire to a box fixed on a nearby pole … He asked them why he would do such a thing, but on their constant prodding, he dared them to do whatever they wanted and walked away." As soon as Inayat left, the boys raised a clamor, and a mob gathered at the scene, Manzoor said.</summary>

<p><strong>LAHORE, Pakistan – Police in Pakistan have charged a  young Christian man with "blasphemy" after he had an argument with  Muslims over a billiards game in Punjab Province's Sheikhupura district,  his cousin said.</strong></p>
<p>Farooqabad Police arrested Sajid Inayat, 20, on Friday (May 18) and  charged him with desecrating the Quran under the country's controversial  blasphemy laws after area young men accused him of setting on fire  "holy pages" placed in a box on an electricity pole, Irfan Manzoor said.</p>
<p>Inayat was charged under Section 295-B, which makes willful  desecration of the Quran or use of an extract in a derogatory manner  punishable with life imprisonment.</p>
<p>Manzoor told Compass by telephone that his cousin had been falsely  accused because he had had an argument with some local Muslim boys over a  billiards game just two days before the alleged incident.</p>
<p>"Sajid was heading to his shop [of construction material and scrap]  on Friday morning when he came across the Muslim boys with whom he had a  squabble the other day," Manzoor said. "The boys accused Sajid of  setting fire to a box fixed on a nearby pole … He asked them why he  would do such a thing, but on their constant prodding, he dared them to  do whatever they wanted and walked away."</p>
<p>As soon as Inayat left, the boys raised a clamor, and a mob gathered at the scene, Manzoor said.</p>

        <summary>Truth is stranger than fiction. There is plenty of crazy in this story, but what strikes me is how infuriated the owner of the raped donkey became, as well as the villagers; so much so that it sparked a massacre of fifteen people. Imagine that. But if the victim had been his daughter, not his donkey that had gotten raped, the father would have gone after her, killed her, for the crime of being female. The donkey's owner would never have taken revenge on the rapist if the assailant had attacked his wife or daughter. The wife or daughter would have been executed for honor, proving yet again that livestock are valued more than women. 'Donkey rape' sparks tribal massacre in Yemen Emirates 24/7 May 21, 2012 (thanks to Danielle) Fifteen people were killed or injured in tribal fighting in Yemen after a male donkey chased an ass and raped it just near the house of its owner. Newspapers in Yemen said the owner of the ass got mad after he saw the donkey attacking his animal, prompting him to chase the donkey and hit it. The attack infuriated the donkey owner, who called his armed tribe men and asked them to take revenge. “The problem snowballed into an armed fight between Makabis tribe, which owns the donkey, and Bani Abbas which owns the ass…15 people were either killed or injured in the battle,” the Saudi Arabic language daily Aleqtisadiah said, quoting newspapers in Yemen. A large police force intervened and stopped the fighting at a village in the southwestern province of Abb, newspapers said, adding that police had arrested eight persons involved in the conflict.</summary>

<p><strong>WASHINGTON – A French woman forced a U.S.-bound transatlantic flight  to be diverted after claiming she was carrying a “surgically implanted  device,” US officials said.</strong></p>
<p><strong>The US Airways plane, flying from Paris, was diverted to Maine on  Tuesday where the woman was taken into custody by the FBI before the  Boeing 767 continued its journey to Charlotte, North Carolina.</strong></p>
<p>Coming on the heels of a thwarted airline bomb plot by Al-Qaeda’s  Yemen branch, the incident has laid bare US worry over shifting tactics  of extremists as they seek new ways — and new technologies, including  non-metallic bombs — for landing a deadly blow against an American  target.</p>
<p>Last year, US officials warned airlines that terror groups were  studying how to surgically hide bombs inside humans to evade airport  security — precisely the threat that emerged when the US Airways  passenger made herself known to the cabin crew.</p>
<p>Senator Susan Collins, the ranking Republican on the Senate Homeland  Security Committee, highlighted the concerns shortly after news broke of  Flight 787’s diversion to Maine, saying there has been<strong> “intelligence  identifying surgically implanted bombs as a threat to air travel.”</strong></p>
<p>Collins, briefed on the incident by Transportation Security  Administration chief John Pistole, said TSA recently issued security  directives to airports, airlines, and foreign governments, “advising  them to take added screening precautions and to be on the lookout for  indicators of surgically implanted explosives.”</p>
<p>The US Airways flight took off without incident from Paris’ Charles  de Gaulle airport bound for Charlotte with 179 passengers and crew.</p>
<p>At some point during the flight, a passenger<strong> “handed a note to a  flight attendant that said she had a surgically implanted device inside  her,</strong>” House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Peter King said in a  statement.</p>
<p><strong>The Cameroon-born woman was traveling alone with no checked baggage  and visiting the United States for 10 days, according to King.</strong></p>
<p>Alarmed crew on board isolated the passenger, and “doctors on the  flight checked her out and did not see any sign of recent scars,” King  added.</p>
<p>A police source in Paris said that the woman was unknown to French intelligence.</p>
<p>“This woman is completely unknown to French police and intelligence  in particular,” the source told AFP, requesting anonymity. “She appears  to be psychologically disturbed.”</p>
<p>Andrew Kobayashi, a passenger on the flight, told CNN that the woman,  who appeared to be in her mid-20s to mid-30s, was sweating and acting  nervous.</p>
<p>“I had briefly noticed her in the back of the plane being a weirdo…  (She) seemed on edge, but no more so than anybody who is nervous about  flying,” said Kobayashi, who was seated several rows forward of the  woman.</p>
<p>Concerned pilots radioed in to North American Aerospace Defense  Command, and two F-15 fighter jets based in Massachusetts were scrambled  to escort the airliner through its tension-filled descent to Bangor,  Maine.</p>
<p>An FBI joint terrorism task force, accompanied by a bomb squad, local  police and other security agencies then met the aircraft upon arrival.</p>
<p>“FBI agents and members of a joint terrorism task force interviewed  the passenger and others on the plane,” FBI spokesman Greg Comcowich  said.</p>
<p>“At this time, there is no indication the plane or its passengers were ever in any actual danger.”</p>
<p>A US official told AFP that the suspect was unlikely to be part of a  broader international terror plot linked to groups such as Al-Qaeda.</p>
<p>“It doesn’t appear to be any terrorist nexus at this point,” said the official.</p>
<p><strong>But it served as a blunt reminder of the ongoing efforts by groups  like Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) to eventually break  through tight US security with a functional bomb.</strong></p>
<p><strong>And it came after news emerged earlier this month of a foiled plot to blow up a U.S.-bound airliner.</strong></p>
<p>U.S. officials said the plot involved a non-metallic device, intended  for use by a suicide bomber on an airliner, that was an updated version  of the “underwear bomb” used in a failed attack on a U.S.-bound flight  on Christmas Day 2009.</p>
<p>Though officials touted the disrupted plot as a success, they  acknowledged AQAP remained determined to strike and its master  bombmaker, Ibrahim Al-Asiri, was apparently hard at work seeking to  circumvent airport security.</p>
<p>Washington says Asiri is the prime suspect behind an attempt by the  lethal Al-Qaeda offshoot to send parcel bombs from Yemen to the United  States in October 2010.</p>
<p>The packages, addressed to synagogues in Chicago and containing the  hard-to-detect explosive PETN hidden in printer ink cartridges, were  discovered en route in Britain and Dubai.</p>

        <summary>The media self enforces sharia, do not criticize Islam. MSNBC: Don't expose Muslim atrocities; it will make Islam look bad Jihadwatch In response, Eltahawy was right on point: "It’s not me that makes Muslims look bad. It’s those atrocities that make Muslims look bad." I have made this point hundreds of times -- but the Islamic supremacists' "Islamophobia" fog machine is intent on obscuring it, with eager help from the Leftist mainstream media. "MSNBC: Don't expose Muslim atrocities: Harvard professor doesn't want 'fuel' against Islam revealed," by Colin Flaherty for WND, May 22: MSNBC’s new golden girl was in a pickle: If someone sees a black person committing rape or domestic violence, should he report it if it makes black people look bad? Or if Muslims see wife-beating, genital mutilation and childhood sexual abuse, should they just keep it to themselves, because saying something gives ammunition to the “Islamophobes”? The questions appear to be simple. But they posed a challenge for the host of the new “Melissa Harris-Perry” show when guest Mona Eltahawy talked about her Foreign Policy magazine cover story about abuse of women by men in the Muslim world. Eltahawy speaks from experience: She had her arms broken in a demonstration in Egypt and was tortured and raped in an Egyptian jail cell. So she seemed surprised to find Harris-Perry questioning her right to draw attention to “traditions” such as involuntary female circumcision, wife-beating and childhood sexual abuse. “I start with a little bit of trepidation in this conversation,” the host said, “in part because I know some of the critiques of this. The very idea that Western press, those that are not from these nations, who are not Muslim ourselves, who are not part of these traditions can look at your article and say ‘ahhh, look at how horrible those men, or those societies, or that religion is.’ “And that is part of the reason why, for example, we have an under-reporting of rape and domestic violence in African American communities,” Harris-Perry continued. “Because we know the violence enacted on black men by police, so we often don’t call. Right?” Then the MSNBC host brought in Harvard professor Leila Ahmed, who questioned whether Eltahawy should have written the article at all. Not because it was false, but because it made Muslims look bad. “You began, Melissa, by noting that some things in the African-American community are not publicized precisely because of the racism,” said Ahmed as Harris-Perry nodded in agreement on a split screen. “Mona, I appreciate what you do,” continued Ahmed. “I would love it if – I understand if you want to get your message across. It’s an important message. But if possible [you should not] give fuel, fodder to people who simply hate Arabs and Muslims in this climate of our day.” Eltahawy seemed taken aback. “That’s the whole point,” she said. “It’s not me that makes Muslims look bad. It’s those atrocities that make Muslims look bad. And as a writer, it’s my...</summary>

<p>In response, Eltahawy was right on point: "It’s not me that makes  Muslims look bad. It’s those atrocities that make Muslims look bad." I  have made this point hundreds of times -- but the Islamic supremacists'  "Islamophobia" fog machine is intent on obscuring it, with eager help  from the Leftist mainstream media.</p>
<p>"MSNBC: Don't expose Muslim atrocities: Harvard professor doesn't want 'fuel' against Islam revealed," by Colin Flaherty for <a href="http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/msnbc-dont-expose-muslim-atrocities/" target="_blank">WND</a>, May 22:</p>
<blockquote>MSNBC’s new golden girl was in a pickle: If someone sees a  black person committing rape or domestic violence, should he report it  if it makes black people look bad?
<p>Or if Muslims see wife-beating, genital mutilation and childhood  sexual abuse, should they just keep it to themselves, because saying  something gives ammunition to the “Islamophobes”?</p>
<p>The questions appear to be simple. But they posed a challenge for the  host of the new “Melissa Harris-Perry” show when guest Mona Eltahawy  talked about her <a href="http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/04/23/why_do_they_hate_us" target="_blank">Foreign Policy magazine cover story about abuse of women by men in the Muslim world</a>.</p>
<p>Eltahawy speaks from experience: She had her arms broken in a  demonstration in Egypt and was tortured and raped in an Egyptian jail  cell.</p>
<p>So she seemed surprised to find Harris-Perry questioning her right to  draw attention to “traditions” such as involuntary female circumcision,  wife-beating and childhood sexual abuse.</p>
<p>“I start with a little bit of trepidation in this conversation,” the  host said, “in part because I know some of the critiques of this. The  very idea that Western press, those that are not from these nations, who  are not Muslim ourselves, who are not part of these traditions can look  at your article and say ‘ahhh, look at how horrible those men, or those  societies, or that religion is.’</p>
<p>“And that is part of the reason why, for example, we have an  under-reporting of rape and domestic violence in African American  communities,” Harris-Perry continued. “Because we know the violence  enacted on black men by police, so we often don’t call. Right?”</p>
<p>Then the MSNBC host brought in Harvard professor Leila Ahmed, who  questioned whether Eltahawy should have written the article at all. Not  because it was false, but because it made Muslims look bad.</p>
<p>“You began, Melissa, by noting that some things in the  African-American community are not publicized precisely because of the  racism,” said Ahmed as Harris-Perry nodded in agreement on a split  screen.</p>
<p>“Mona, I appreciate what you do,” continued Ahmed. “I would love it  if – I understand if you want to get your message across. It’s an  important message. But if possible [you should not] give fuel, fodder to  people who simply hate Arabs and Muslims in this climate of our day.”</p>
<p>Eltahawy seemed taken aback.</p>
<p>“That’s the whole point,” she said. “It’s not me that makes Muslims  look bad. It’s those atrocities that make Muslims look bad. And as a  writer, it’s my job to poke the painful places.”</p>
<p>Harris-Perry declined to respond to a subsequent email asking if she  ever refused to report a violent crime because it would make someone  look bad...</p>

        <summary>Don't miss my column this week, "Defending the West," at WND. I expose the true agenda of Muslim Brotherhood groups in America and how they manipulate the media and entrainment culture to achieve their sinister goals. Using euphemisms and buzz words like "civil rights," they seek to impose the sharia, while sanctioning the most egregious and brutal of the its penalties. "Civil rights" means supremacist authority over non-Muslims. That is their idea of civil rights (and according to the sharia they are not wrong). Read on. For more on our AFDI/SIOA "Summer Night for Human Rights," go here and register. Battling for victims of Muslim tyranny WND Exclusive: Pamela Geller holds event to compete with CAIR's 'human rights' confab One of the foremost weapons in the arsenal of subversive Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the U.S., such as the Hamas-tied Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), is to claim victimhood for Muslims in America. To hear Hamas-CAIR tell it, Muslims in the freest country in the world are being routinely attacked, brutalized and subjected to unjust suspicion by law enforcement. Meanwhile, they ignore and deny the real human-rights abuse non-Muslims suffer in Muslim countries because of Islamic law. CAIR is bringing its victimhood show to Southern California on June 23, when the Los Angeles chapter of this repulsive Hamas-linked group is hosting a “Summer Night for Civil Rights,” which is shaping up to be a three-hour orgy of Muslim victimhood. The headliner is the supremely unfunny “comedian” Dean Obeidallah, who has just completed a “documentary” supposedly chronicling Americans’ “Islamophobia” – a concept coined by the Muslim Brotherhood to shut up Americans and scare them into thinking it is “racist” to oppose the jihad and Islamic supremacism. The others on the bill include Amir Suleiman, a “spoken word poet,” and a rapper who calls himself “Omar Offendum” (“as featured on al-Jazeera,” Hamas-tied CAIR’s poster says, touting terror TV). One name you can be sure won’t get mentioned while these Islamic supremacists weep and moan about the supposed mistreatment of Muslims in America is that of Youcef Nadarkhani. That’s because Nadarkhani is not a Muslim victim; instead, he is one of millions of victims of Islam. Nadarkhani is a Christian pastor who is on death row in Iran for converting from Islam to Christianity – Islamic law commands that anyone who leaves Islam be put to death. All the schools of Islamic law, without exception, mandate death for those who leave Islam. This is an international human-rights issue. What about civil rights for Pastor Youcef and other Muslim apostates in danger of death? You won’t hear a word about them from Hamas-tied CAIR. Ever. Why? Because this is the very law Muslim supremacist groups seek to impose on the U.S.: the Shariah. But we will fight these subversive groups and fight for the victims of Islam. We will fiercely give voice to the voiceless. My organization, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) and its Stop Islamization of America (SIOA) program, along with Former...</summary>

<p>We’ve dedicated our Summer Night for Human Rights to Pastor Youcef, and we’ve invited numerous apostates from Islam to speak about the death sentence they must live under every moment because they have dared to leave Islam.</p>
<p>We’re calling upon Hamas-tied CAIR to stand up for Pastor Youcef and other victims of Islam’s apostasy law at their so-called “civil rights” conference and to stand for human rights for all.

Their ruse must be exposed, their Shariah agenda renounced.</p>
<p>Our human rights town hall calls out Islamic supremacist groups in America to cease and desist their subversive activity under the guise of “civil rights” or “Shariahphobia.” The Summer Night for Human Rights will call upon the CAIR spokesmen to renounce Islam’s death penalty for apostasy and defend the human rights of those who choose to leave Islam. It will ask CAIR leaders to stop creating roadblocks to Shariah prohibitions in the U.S., pointing up CAIR’s hypocrisy in sponsoring a “civil rights” night while supporting a system of governance that denies the freedom of conscience, as well as the freedom of speech and equality of rights of all before the law.</p>

        <summary>Iran, Al Qaeda, Taliban ..... it's all the same thing. The motive is the same, the root cause is the same. Islamic jihad. Virtual Terrorism: Al Qaeda Video Calls for 'Electronic Jihad' ABC News Al Qaeda may be turning its destructive attention to cyber-warfare against the United States. In a chilling video, an al Qaeda operative calls for "electronic jihad" against the United States, and compares vulnerabilities in vital American computer networks to the flaws in aviation security before the 9/11 attack. The al Qaeda video calls upon the "covert mujahidin" [devout Muslims] to launch cyber attacks against the U.S. networks of both government and critical infrastructure, including the electric grid. The video was obtained by the FBI last year, and released today by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. "This is the clearest evidence we've seen that al Qaeda and other [Muslim] terrorist groups want to attack the cyber systems of our critical infrastructure," Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee Chairman Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., said in a statement. "This video is troubling as it urges al Qaeda adherents to launch a cyber attack on America," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, the ranking member on the committee. "It's clear that al Qaeda is exploring all means to do us harm and this is evidence that our critical infrastructure is a target." The national security community says the threat of cyber attack is real, and the gap between terrorist aspirations and capability is closing. The senior intelligence official at Cyber Command, Rear Adm. Samuel Cox, has said al Qaeda operatives are seeking the capability to stage cyber attacks against U.S. networks and terrorists could purchase the capabilities to do so from expert criminal hackers. Increasing evidence also suggests that Iran is looking to commit cyber attacks against the United States, according to testimony last month before the House Committee on Homeland Security. Iran's sponsorship of terrorist groups takes on a new dimension in cyberspace, where it could develop a powerful cyber weapon and pass it on to a terrorist group. Lieberman is using the al Qaeda video to underline what he says is the need for new legislation.. "Congress needs to act now to protect the American public from a possible devastating attack on our electric grid, water delivery systems, or financial networks," he said. "As numerous, bipartisan national security experts have said, minimum cyber security standards for those networks are necessary to protect our national and economic security. That is why the Senate needs to act on our bipartisan Cyber Security Act that requires minimum security performance requirements for key critical infrastructure cyber networks." The Homeland Security Committee says the Department of Homeland Security received more than 50,000 reports of cyber intrusions or attempted intrusions since October, an increase of 10,000 reports over the same period the previous year.</summary>

<p>Here is an Atlas reader out West:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>There is a very interesting situation going on behind the scenes in the Republican Party state caucuses and the MSM is not reporting it.

The way that works is that after the primary, the state committee meets to appoint the actual delegates who will attend the national convention. Ron Paul's people have been packing these meetings with majority crowds and getting many of Romney's delegates with simple votes. </em><br /> <br /><em>Also, this station reports that Ron Paul's people have taken over the Republican state organizations in Iowa, Nevada, Alaska, Maine and Louisiana and have elected new pro-Ron Paul leadership. </em><br /> <br /><em>If you have time<a href=" http://www.fox19.com/category/195974/video-landing-page?clipId=7302411&amp;autostart=true" target="_self"> check out the video of tonight's segment.</a> It was a 1/2 hour long special. </em><br /><em> </em></p>
<p><em>One part of the video brings out Rule 38 of the RNC that says delegates to the convention are not bound to vote for a particular candidate. It would seem that Ron Paul is going to try to take the nomination away from Mitt Romney with a floor fight. [...] BTW, this local FOX reporter has stuff from all of the states mentioned including some video of how the Republican state committee in one state (Iowa, I think) tried to prevent the Paul troops from taking control by saying they had to postpone the rest of the meeting and exit the hall. The Paul forces simply voted their majority presence in the parking lot to finish the meeting there and claimed most of the delegates.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><strong>And this from a Paulbot site: <a href="http://ivn.us/2012/05/16/a-first-ballot-rebellion-in-tampa/" target="_self">Upset at GOP National Convention</a></strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p> Reports of Ron Paul’s demise have been greatly exaggerated. While <a href="http://ivn.us/2012/05/14/ron-paul-halts-spending-not-campaign/" target="_blank">a Monday email</a> sent to reporters regarding <a href="http://ivn.us/tag/ron-paul/">Ron Paul’s</a> election strategy has been widely interpreted and spun as the Texas  congressman’s withdrawal from the Republican primary– with The Drudge  Report running the misleading headline “<a href="http://www.theblaze.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/paul-on-drudge-620x334.jpg" target="_blank">Paul Out</a>,”  and Fox News Channel’s Shep Smith misreporting that Ron Paul is now  “out of the race” –the email simply formalized and publicized the Paul  campaign’s “guerrilla” delegate strategy of focusing on acquiring  delegates instead of making a bid for the popular preference vote in  primary states.</p>
<p>If anything, the email signaled that the Paul campaign is more  serious than ever about actually winning the Republican Party’s  presidential nomination, especially as it comes on the heels of a  month-long string of major delegate victories that have bolstered the  Ron Paul campaign’s hopes of a brokered convention in Tampa and  demonstrated the potential viability of its delegate-focused strategy.  After seeing marked results from this strategy, an announcement that the  campaign will be pursuing it even more single-mindedly can hardly be  interpreted as a retreat.</p>
<p>Last month at IVN, <a href="http://ivn.us/2012/04/26/ron-pauls-secret-plan-to-win-the-gop-nomination-looks-like-it-might-be-working/" target="_blank">I outlined this strategy</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>If the trend continues, and a well-funded, highly-organized, and very energetic <a href="http://ivn.us/tag/ron-paul/">Ron Paul</a> campaign continues to sweep up delegates (with a majority of the  party’s delegates still up for grabs in large states like California)  there is a real and growing possibility that <a href="http://ivn.us/tag/mitt-romney/">Mitt Romney</a> will not secure enough delegates to win his party’s nomination on the  first ballot at the Republican Party convention in Tampa. If this  happens, the convention will become a brokered convention and all bound  delegates will be “unbound,” allowed to change votes for whichever  candidate they choose.</em></p>
<p><em>Although it is impossible to determine the actual number without  official counts, Paul’s campaign seems quietly self-assured that at this  point, many of Mitt Romney’s bound delegates will vote for Ron Paul and  hand him the nomination, not because Paul thinks he can charm and  persuade them in Tampa, but because the Paul campaign has already  stacked each state’s slate of delegates with his own supporters, who  have been stealthily getting elected as delegates. There’s no telling  how many of Mitt Romney’s currently bound delegates are actually covert  Ron Paul supporters ready to turn on a dime after being unbound in a  brokered convention and vote for Ron Paul.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Since then, Ron Paul supporters and a few good investigative journalists have been digging deeper into <a href="http://www.gop.com/images/legal/2008_RULES_Adopted.pdf" target="_blank">the RNC’s rules</a> for its nominating process on the floor of the national convention in  Tampa. What they’ve unearthed is the possibility that Ron Paul doesn’t  even need a brokered convention to win the nomination. His covert  supporters mentioned in the excerpt above– those who will attend the  convention as bound Romney delegates, but who are actually Ron Paul  supporters hoping to get past a first ballot– may not be bound to vote  for Mitt Romney on the first ballot after all. It’s all in the <a href="http://ivn.us/2012/05/14/gov-romney-worry-less-about-rule-38-more-about-whip-operation/" target="_blank" title="Romney, Ron Paul &amp; RNC Rules">RNC’s Rule 38</a>, which says:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>“No delegate or alternate delegate shall be bound by  any attempt of any state or Congressional district to impose the unit  rule.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="http://www.fox19.com/story/18305604/reality-check-why-all-rnc-delegates-are-free-agents-and-unbound" target="_blank">According to</a> Fox19 Cincinnati’s Ben Swann, citing <a href="http://www.fairvote.org/response-to-a-rogue-convention-how-gop-party-rules-may-surprise-in-201#.T7OOs8VVuSo" target="_blank">an article</a> at FairVote.org, Rule 38 has already been interpreted by the RNC’s own  legal council to mean that the national party rules do not recognize  state laws or procedures that bind delegates to vote for a particular  candidate, but that they are free to vote for their individual  preference on the floor of the national convention. The issue came up in  2008 when a member of the Utah delegation wanted to vote for Mitt  Romney instead of John McCain, to whom Utah’s delegates were bound.  Several weeks before the 2008 Republican national convention, Jennifer  Sheehan, Legal Council for the RNC, wrote a letter to Nancy Lord, Utah  National Committee-Woman, asserting:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>“The RNC does not recognize a state’s binding of  national delegates, but considers each delegate a free agent who can  vote for whoever they choose, and the national convention allows  delegates to vote for the individual of their choice, regardless of  whether the person’s name is officially placed into nomination or not.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>If this is the case, and again, this is the RNC’s own interpretation  of its own rule, with an established and recent precedent (that  ironically happened to benefit Mitt Romney in 2008), then Ron Paul may  not need to last until the second ballot of a long-shot brokered  convention to let loose his stealth delegates. Though their states may  have bound them to Romney, once they’re on the convention floor in  Tampa, it will be the RNC’s rules that matter and if Paul’s hand is  strong enough he could just win his party’s nomination on the first  ballot.</p>
<p>Another RNC rule that seems to indicate the primacy of the individual  delegate’s preference at the nominating convention is Rule 37, Section  (b), which states:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><em>“In the balloting, the vote of each state shall be  announced by the chairman of such state’s delegation, or his or her  designee; and in case the vote of any state shall be divided, the  chairman shall announce the number of votes for each candidate, or for  or against any proposition; but if exception is taken by any delegate  from that state to the correctness of such announcement by the chairman  of that delegation, the chairman of the convention shall direct the roll  of members of such delegation to be called, and the result shall be  recorded in accordance with the vote of the several delegates in such  delegation.”</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The final say here seems to be with the will of the individual  delegate on the floor, not with the delegate’s state, nor even with the  chairman of the state’s delegation to the convention.</p>
<p>If Ron Paul’s supporters outnumber the other delegates in Tampa, he  seems to have the parliamentary grounds for a first ballot upset and a  primary victory– no brokered convention necessary. If it comes to this,  the Romney camp will, no doubt, challenge the convention result. It’s a  fight that could end up in the courts. Legally, which would take  precedent over the other, the RNC’s rules or state laws that bind  delegates to vote for certain candidates on the first ballot of the  convention?</p>
<p>As IVN’s Kymberly Bays <a href="http://ivn.us/2012/05/14/gov-romney-worry-less-about-rule-38-more-about-whip-operation/" target="_blank">recently reported</a>, this exact question has already been resolved at the <a href="http://ivn.us/tag/supreme-court/" target="_blank">US Supreme Court</a> level: the national party’s rules take precedence over state laws  because as a private organization and free association of individuals, a  political party has the constitutional right to set its own rules and  state laws interfering with that private process violate a political  party’s First Amendment rights.</p>
<p>The Monday email is no mystery then– if Ron Paul could win his  party’s nomination simply by having enough of his energetic supporters  become delegates from their state, why would he spend millions of  dollars on radio and television ad purchases to win what amounts to an  inconsequential straw poll?<br /> <br />If all this is true then the Republican National Convention is going to be a very lively affair to watch on TV.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>UPDATE: More coming in:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I just saw your post regarding Ron Paul, and I can't emphasize to you enough just how dangerous these Paulbots are.  I witnessed their behavior firsthand at my district convention, and they are organized and single-minded in their desire to get Paul elected.  They have infiltrated every State that has a caucus system.  They took over Minnesota and won something like 22 of 25 districts, and they got their nominee voted in as the U.S. Senate candidate(Kurt Bills, a high school economics teacher with only 18 months experience as a State congressman).<br /><br />They will NOT vote for Romney, no matter what.  I talked to them.  I interacted with them.  They are a full blown CULT.  <br />I don't know how many States have "caucus" elections, but there is a strong possibility that they will give Romney a run for his money at the national convention.  They do not care about the Republican party.  They only care about one thing:  Ron Paul.  <br /><br />I tried to warn people two months ago, but no one listened to me.  They swarmed HillBuzz after I posted my article, and overwhelmed the servers, temporarily shutting down the site for half a day.  <br /><br />Oh, and I followed the tweets of Republicans at the Minnesota convention last weekend, and one man said that when the speakers onstage talked about Romney or Israel, the Paulbots BOOED. <br /><br />The Republican party needs to remove the caucus system from States.  Period.  Unless and until they do that, ANY cult-like group could take over the party, be it Ron Paul fans or something even worse, like the Black Panthers or the KKK.  I kid you not!</p>
</blockquote>
<p>UPDATE: And this:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>.I live in Las Cruces which is the second largest city in the state and the Ron Paulers are taking over all the conservative groups especially the Tea Parties.  Most of them are college students and their primary goal has been to get delegates not to appeal to the general public. </p>
<p>I contribute to a radio program in the state and we have had Paul's groups on the show.  The college students from our city are working with other college students across the state and country to become delegates.  Now our county just picked our delegates to go to state convention and 52 of our 62 delegates went to Ron Paul.  Their first goal was 75 in the state so they are way ahead of schedule and from what I can tell this is a nationwide trend.<br />What I do know is the Paulites will stop at nothing to see their agenda pushed through.  They may say they stand for the constitution but they would stomp it in a second if it would get Paul into office.</p>
<p>One other detail, most of the Paulites here are "free state republic" members as well.  Talk about an insane group.</p>
<p> </p>

        <summary>You just can't make this stuff up -- Al-Jazeera, jihad TV, the mouthpiece for sharia, the most extreme, radical and restrictive ideology on the face of the earth, has won a "freedom of speech" award. Those that seek to impose the blasphemy laws under the sharia (the restriction of free speech) have won a freedom of speech award. No matter how many times I say it, it feels weird coming out of my mouth. Months back, I joined forces with Cliff Kincaid of AIM, along with human rights activists and advocates for journalistic integrity, to protest the expansion of Al-Jazeera, terror TV, in the United States. I wrote about it here at The Daily Caller. Al-Jazeera should be designated a terrorist organization, just like [Hezbollah's channel] Al-Manar. They should not be given awards by, of all organiztions, The Roosevelt Foundation, which is dedicated to the ideals and achievements of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt. No organization has done as much to spread hate, lies and incitement to violence as Al-Jazeera. Al-Jazeera is the leading terrorist propaganda organization in the world. Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised Al-Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al-Jazeera also has for years been the recipient of numerous Al-Qaeda videos featuring bin Laden, Zawahiri, and American traitor Adam Gadahn. Yet they never seem to be able to trace where these videos are coming from. They have repeatedly been set up at the point of attack right before a bomb went off, so that they could take the picture of the slaughtered, dismembered bodies. 91 American, Israeli and Canadian victims of Hezbollah rocket attacks have filed an unprecedented 1.2 billion dollar lawsuit against the Al-Jazeera television network. Al-Jazeera is accused of intentionally providing real-time coverage of the locations of missile strikes inside Israel, in violation of Israeli security regulations, thereby enabling Hezbollah to aim its missiles more accurately.

The war in the information battle-space is  now the most  critical war, and we are disarming America. They invoke our freedoms to inevitably kill our  freedoms.  The issue of giving Al-Jazeera a free speech award can  only be likened to giving Joseph Goebbels a humanitarian award at the height of   World War II.</p>
<blockquote><strong>Al Jazeera wins freedom of speech award</strong> Al Jazeera (hat tip Joan S)</blockquote>
<blockquote>Network awarded Roosevelt Foundation prize for its "longstanding efforts to provide independent impartial news".</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>The Roosevelt Foundation, a private establishment dedicated to the ideals and achievements of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, has presented Al Jazeera with its 2012 Freedom of Speech and Expression Award. The foundation recognised Al Jazeera Media Network for "its longstanding efforts to provide independent, impartial news for an international audience and to offer a voice to a diversity of perspectives from under-reported regions".</p>
<p>Ahmed bin Jassim Al Thani, Director General of Al Jazeera Media  Network, accepted the award at a ceremony on May 12, 2012 in Nieuwe Kerk  in Middelburg, Netherlands in the presence of Queen Beatrix.</p>
<p>He said: "It is with immense pride and sincere humility that I accept  the Freedom of Speech and Expression Award on behalf of Al Jazeera  Media Network.</p>
<p>"Al Jazeera launched in 1996 as the first independent Arabic news  channel in the world, with a vision to provide unbiased news coverage in  a region where independent and balanced reporting did not exist.</p>

As expected, Aslan argued that the two-state solution is “dead and buried,” and that everyone (the Israelis, the Palestinians, the Americans and other international bodies) should instead start investing resources and energy to create a single bi-national state with “soft borders.” Ibish, meanwhile, rejected the idea that the window to create two states for two peoples has closed, and instead held out hope for the possibility that such a conflict-ending resolution could be reached in the region.

Both scholars assigned blame for the failure of the peace process to many parties, but set the lion’s share of the blame at Israel’s feet.

<blockquote>For anyone who missed the debate on May 15 at UCLA between  Reza Aslan and Hussein Ibish over whether the Israeli-Palestinian  conflict should be resolved by creating a Palestinian state alongside  the Jewish one or by creating a single bi-national state, here’s the  basic report of what went down.

<p>"Final solution" would be more apt than "final resolution" to describe what these two are aiming for.</p>
<blockquote>Both scholars assigned blame for the failure of the peace process to many parties, but <strong>set the lion’s share of the blame at Israel’s feet. </strong>Both  Ibish and Aslan saw the Israeli policy of settlement expansion as the  primary reason for the failure of the peace process to progress in the  nearly 20 years since the Oslo Accords were signed. Both acknowledged  that, while most Israelis and most Palestinians (and most Americans, for  that matter) want to see a two-state solution achieved, the likelihood  of it being achieved anytime soon is very slim.
<p>As one student in the audience put it afterward, “They’re on the same page, but they have different views.”</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Of course. The idea of Ibish and Aslan debating anything is like  holding an election in a one-party state: there may be plenty of  choices, but in the end they're all the same choice anyway. In blaming  Israel for the persistence and insolubility of the conflict, they ignore  the jihadist intransigence of the "Palestinians," and the repeated  aspiration, frequently enunciated on official PA TV, to destroy Israel  utterly. Ibish and Aslan must know that Israel has made concession after  concession (notably the withdrawal from Gaza) in hope of bringing about  peace, but these concessions have never been reciprocated or even met  with good will. And of course they do know this. That they ignore and  try to obscure it, and ignore the role of jihad in the conflict  altogether, reveals their true agenda, which is in service of that  jihad.</p>
<blockquote>But confronted with the question of how the parties should  proceed in resolving this seemingly intractable conflict, the two Muslim  scholars [sic] parted ways.
<p>“I’m advocating the one-state solution for one simple reason: there  is no other solution,” said Aslan, calling the prospect of two states  for two peoples “a sham” and “a charade.”</p>
<p>Pointing to the 600,000 Israelis who are currently living beyond the  so-called green line that divides pre-1967 Israel from the territories  it conquered during the war that year, Aslan argued, in no uncertain  terms, that the infrastructure of the Israeli occupation of the West  Bank had simply crowded out any possible space for a second state.</p>
<p>“There will never be a Palestinian state,” he said. “Ever. That is the truth.”</p>
<p>Ibish disagreed. “The majority of Israelis are, rather strongly, in  favor of two state solution; the majority of Palestinians are in favor  of a two-state solution,” he said. “So it’s a question of political  will.”</p>
<p>With that political will, Ibish said he believed that the Israelis  would dismantle West Bank settlements in order to achieve peace, and  cited the examples of Gaza and the Northern West Bank as evidence of  their willingness to do so.</p>
<p>“Walls go up and walls come down,” Ibish said.</p>
<p>Throughout the debate, Ibish sounded both hopeful and pragmatic when  compared with Aslan, and never more so than when Aslan described the  bloody process by which he believed a single, bi-national state could  actually come about.</p>
<p>“If you want me to be honest with you,” Aslan said,</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That would be a first.</p>
<blockquote>“I think that what we are going to see is a process through  which the demographic balance [between the Jordan River and the  Mediterranean Sea] tips into apartheid, ethnic cleansing, until finally  you have international mediation that leads to confederacy.”</blockquote>
<p>If there is one state in the way Aslan imagines there will be, it  will be a Palestinian Sharia state that will massacre Jews wholesale and  press the survivors into dhimmitude. And Aslan must know this, also.</p>
<blockquote>“If,” Ibish responded, “I wanted to exercise a radical  dystopian imaginative leap of that kind, if I wanted to be Hieronymus  Bosch of Israel and the Palestinians, sure, I can arrive at your  conclusion after all this horror. Well I’m not willing to go there.”
<p>“Even if it turns out you were right,” he continued, “I would be  proud to stand here and tell you that I am not going to acquiesce to  making that happen.”...</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Aslan repeats jihadist propaganda about Israel practicing apartheid  and ethnic cleansing, but ignores the Palestinians' repeatedly stated <a href="http://www.jihadwatch.org/2012/04/official-palestinian-authority-daily-parents-should-teach-children-that-its-their-destiny-to-destroy.html" target="_blank">genocidal aspirations</a>.  Ibish, for his part, supports the establishment of a Palestinian state  that would, like Gaza, immediately become another base for jihad attacks  against Israel.</p>
<p>Neither discussed Israel's right to exist or acknowledged the jihad doctrine that makes the  conflict endless.</p>
<p>And this is what passes for reasoned analyses on campuses across the U.S. these days.</p>

Lady Gaga Responds To Islamic Threats Over Show In Indonesia Show MTV, May 22 Gaga's tour promoters are negotiating with government officials for Jakarta concert to go forward despite threats from extremist groups. Lady Gaga has responded to the increasingly volatile situation surrounding her "Born This Way" concert in Indonesia, saying on Twitter that she has been asked by authorities to censor her show and has received threats of violence from Islamic hardliners should it go on as planned.

        <summary>A rare one this Itamar Gelbman is; I previously endorsed him here. Gelbman is calling for the defunding of the UN. And right he is. Sixty years ago, democracies, both nascent and well established, comprised the majority of the founding nations of the UN. The members of the General Assembly were strategically aligned primarily along what would become the lines of the Cold War. America was confident that the UN would be an organization that would work in tandem with American national interests in promoting the welfare of humankind and the basic rights of every human spirit. That. never. happened. The UN is driven by the OIC (Organization of Islamic Cooperation), the largest bloc of countries at the UN, and they vote as one. The OIC represents 56 countries plus the Palestinian Authority. It claims also to represent Muslim immigrants — the “Diaspora” — in Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. It is pan-Islamic: It seeks to unify and lead the world’s 1.3 billion Muslims. In a manual first published in 2001, “Strategy of Islamic Cultural Action in the West,” the OIC asserts that “Muslim immigrant communities in Europe are part of the Islamic nation.” Bat Ye'or, world's leading authority on Islam in the West, has said that the OIC is nothing less than a "'would-be, universal caliphate.' It might look different from the caliphates of the Ottomans, Fatimids, and Abbasids. It might resemble, instead, a thoroughly modern trans-national bureaucracy. But, already, the OIC exercises significant power through the United Nations, and through the European Union, which has been eager to accommodate the OIC while simultaneously endowing the U.N. with increasing authority for global governance. Among the other organizations that Ye’or says are doing the OIC’s bidding are the U.N. Alliance of Civilizations, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights, and the European Parliamentary Association for Euro-Arab Cooperation (PAEAC)." The multi-billion-dollar UN system was once largely closed to NGOs (non governmental organizations) as the private playing fields of member states. But NGOs have now found their way into the most intimate recesses of the UN. The OIC and its Muslim member states have found it extremely useful to operate through these "partners" or proxies. And there is a more terrible aspect to the UN-NGO nexus than the rise of these obvious interlopers in the NGO circles.

<p><strong>Here is Gelbman on the UN:</strong></p>
<blockquote>
<p>Dear Fellow Patriot,</p>
<p>Over the last few months I have been asked numerous times what my stance is regarding the U.N.  I will fight to defund the U.N. and withdraw our membership from it Councils.  Why?  Because the UN is a corrupt and powerful bureaucracy that is funded by American taxpayer dollars that time and time again support policies that go against the American people.  The U.N. is lead by countries such as Syria, Lebanon, Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Cuba and other corrupt countries. The U.N. has supported terrorism, and it has diverted billions of American taxpayer dollars to corrupt and Islamocentric regimes such as Saddam Hussain's Iraq, Egypt, Libya and Saudi Arabia.  Here are some facts to support my position:  * Contributions from the USA make up approximately 22% of the U.N.’s budget (over $ 7 billion annually). The U.N. consistently votes against our country's needs and requests.</p>
<p>* The U.N. program “oil for food” ran from 1995 to 2003. It was supposed to provide $15 billion a year to feed the Iraqi people, Instead billions of dollars went straight to the pockets of Saddam Hussein and other corrupt Russian and French politicians.  </p>
<p>* In Egypt, the  U.N.'s Declaration of Human Rights stated that "All the rights and freedoms stipulated in this Declaration are subject to the Islamic Sharia law."   * In 2007 a series of drawings  by Swedish artist Lars Vilks depicted the Islamic prophet Muhammad as a cartoon. This incited riots, death threats, and killings. The U.N.’s response to these terrorist attacks was to call for a ban on the defamation of religion, ignoring Lars Vilks's right of free speech.  </p>
<p>* The U.N. has never responded to the burning of American flags, calls for terrorism against the U.S.A and to other actions against Judea-Christian principles.  * In 2012 The U.N. Human Rights council sent a team to inspect human rights violation in Israel (which is the ONLY country in the Middle East that gives equal rights to Jews, Christians, Muslims and others) At the same time, Christians were being massacred in Egypt just for being Christians, and thousands were massacred in Syria just because they wanted an election. Needless to say that neither Egypt or Syria were inspected and/ or condemned for these brutal killing fueled by religious hate and racism.  * The U.N.’s resolutions reward terrorists. In November 1974, shortly after Yasser Arafat and his terrorist organization the Palestine Liberation Organization murdered scores of Israeli schoolchildren and three American diplomats, The U.N. passed resolutions in his support.  * In 1975, on the 37th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the pogrom against German Jews, The U.N passed Resolution 3379, which defined Zionism as a form of racism.  * In 2011 the U.S. opposed allowing the Palestinian Authority to join the U.N. Although we contribute substantially more money (over 7 Billion dollars a year) than the combined contributions of the counties that support Palestine, America's requests were ignored and the Palestinian Authority joined U.N. Councils!  * The Human Rights Council is a part of the U.N. This council is supposedly responsible for the "promotion and protection of human right around the globe." Member countries in this Council include: Iran, Sudan, Cuba, China, Zimbabwe, Saudi Arabia, and North Korea. All these countries support terrorism and violate human rights as a matter of policy!  The question, then, is not how do we fix the U.N., but why do we continue to spend U.S. taxpayer dollars, $7.7 billion annually to be exact, on an institution filled with countries hostile to us and working against American interests.  Absolute power corrupts absolutely!  Stand by me to defund the UN.</p>

Their ruse must  be exposed, their Sharia agenda renounced. What Islamic supremacist  groups in the U.S. speak for Pastor Youcef?</p>

<p><span>Mr  Edis said Alesha will tell the court how she saw her parents in the  kitchen of their home with bin bags and tape, wrapping the body up.<br /></span></p>
<p><span>'She looked out of the window and saw her father with a large object wrapped in bin bags,' Mr Edis said. <br /></span></p>

<p><span>He said she then heard a car driving off. Shafilea's  decomposed remains were discovered in Cumbria in February 2004 but it  was not until 2010 that her sister Alesha provided the 'final piece of  the puzzle' about her death, the court has heard.</span></p>

<p><span>Six days later she alleged to police that her parents killed Shafilea, he said.</span></p>
<p><span>Mr  Edis added that Alesha was either telling the truth about the death of  her sister 'which she has kept under wraps for years for reasons of  family loyalty' or for other reasons because her relationship with her  parents 'became toxic'.</span></p>

        <summary>Scan thanks to Mike The above article ran in Metro, which is (according to their ad dept.) the 4th largest circulated and the most-read free daily newspaper in the US (1,149,135 daily readers), achieving readership growth surpassing the LA Times and Washington Post. As the leading free daily newspaper, Metro targets the most active, high-spending young professional in New York, Boston, and Philadelphia and delivers the highest % of readers 18-49. From Page 07 today: "Lovers and Fighters." It is stomach-churning propaganda for some of the world's most brutal monsters. Metro attempts to scrub some of the schoolgirl blood off the Taliban's face: "Love, battle and patriotism." Really? Poisoning girls schools is patriotic? Slaughtering Afghan policemen is patriotic? Setting off homicide bombs in the public market is patriotic? Imposing the brutal honor code of the sharia is patriotic? What country would that be? Urbane savages. The writer and the publication are worse than these killers. They slaughter in the cause of Islam; what's this newspaper's excuse? Not only do they hack off girls noses and ears, throw acid in their face, marry off 5 year olds, impose the cloth coffin (the burka) on all women and slaughter US and coalition soldiers in the cause of Islam, Metro tells us they are poets, too. Shucks. Obama is stalking the Taliban plaintively begging them to be his "peace"partner. Perhaps the media is scrubbing the blood off the Taliban to prop up the enemy in the White House. Of course, the notoriously anti-West, pro-jihad UK newspaper, The Guardian, kicked off the murderer mythology back on May 13th here. The Guardian invites its the urbane savage aka'literati' to sit down and read some "gentle, flowery" Taliban poetry... "a great deal of this Taliban poetry will be comprehensible to western readers who are unable to understand Taliban ideology", it says... due to the fact that its clueless readers have never had this ideology adequately explained to them in The Guardian... I am repulsed but not surprised that an American newspaper would pick up on this vile narrative. Would Metro extol the beauty of lampshades made from the skin of murdered Jews during the Holocaust? It's just the same thing. UPDATE: Here's the misanthropes' musings (thanks to David) "My ditch-filled country! You have trenches all over" Poetry of the Taliban is currently on sale in Britain and will be published in the United States on July 17. Here is an example from the collection: May I be sacrificed for you, my homeland May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for your high, high mountains, For your flowerlike chest and pines May I be sacrificed for you, my homeland, each region of yours is beauty, Each of your stones are rubies, each bush of yours is medicine. Each village of yours is a trench, and every youth of yours is sacrificing for you, Each mountain and hill of yours is a calamity for your enemies.

<p>I am repulsed but not surprised that an American newspaper would pick up on this vile narrative. Would Metro extol the beauty of lampshades made from the skin of murdered Jews during the Holocaust? It's just the same thing.</p>
<p>UPDATE: <a href="  http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2012/05/18/is_taliban_poetry_any_good" target="_self">Here's the misanthropes' musings </a>(thanks to David) "My ditch-filled country! You have trenches all over"</p>
<p>Poetry of the Taliban is currently on sale in Britain and will be published in the United States on July 17. Here is an example from the collection:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>May I be sacrificed for you, my homeland<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for your high, high mountains,<br />For your flowerlike chest and pines<br /><br />May I be sacrificed for you, my homeland, each region of yours is beauty,<br />Each of your stones are rubies, each bush of yours is medicine.<br />Each village of yours is a trench, and every youth of yours is sacrificing for you,<br />Each mountain and hill of yours is a calamity for your enemies.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed for your dusty deserts and green valleys,<br />For your flowerlike chest and pines.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for you; I will sacrifice my head and property for you,<br />I will give you my body's blood in order to make you fresh and thriving.<br /><br />I will murder all the enemies of your religion and prosperity,<br />I will gradually make you the holy necklace of Asia.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed, for your hot trenches,<br />For your flowerlike chest and pines.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for your Helmand, your chest,<br />For your mountains, Uruzgan, your Kandahar-like trenches,<br />For Zabul's trenches and Ghazni's honorable battlefields,<br />For Gurbat, Gurbat Wardak, Maidan and Lowgar.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for your great youths,<br />For your flowerlike chest and pines.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for you while my homeland, Kunar is alive,<br />Your youths from Paktika and Farah are heroes.<br />Your people from Nangarhar and Laghman are successful,<br />You have trained famous sons.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for your dry ruins, <br />For your flowerlike chest and pines.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed, sacrificed for your Hindu Kush and Mahipar,<br />For your Shamshad, Shah-I Kot, Spin Ghar and Tur Ghar.<br />My ditch-filled country! You have trenches all over. <br />Your body is Maiwand, Maiwand, you are Habibi's beloved.<br /><br />May I be sacrificed for your burnt wounds, <br />For your flower-like chest and black pines.</p>

        <summary>It's the sharia. Here a young man is publicly whipped for drinking alcohol in public. Police are beefing up enforcement of Islamic law ahead of summer, banning women's 'immodest' attire and the presence of 'impure' pets in public sphere... ... Iran's parliament even introduced a bill according to which dogs cannot be taken out in public, with offenders facing fines of up to $1,000 (more here). And Obama stood by and did nothing while millions of Iranians marched, begged for peace and implored him to stand with them. He didn't. He stood with Ahmadinejad and threw out Mubarak instead (the most liberal reformer in the Middle East). Iranian youth publicly whipped for drinking alcohol YNet Iranian barbarity: A video clip recently uploaded to YouTube shows a young Iranian man being publicly whipped as punishment for drinking alcohol. The clip, uploaded by members of the Iranian opposition, shows a young many lying on his stomach in a city square and being whipped at least 20 times by a masked man To the side stands another man, a cleric, who appears to be instructing the flogger on how to carry out the punishment. Dozens of locals are seen looking on. The user who published the clip said that it was filmed last Sunday in the village of Miane in northwest Iran. Witnesses said the young man had been arrested for allegedly drinking alcohol. [...] Public flogging is a punishment given not only for drinking, but also for other violations of Sharia law. Last year, Iranian student Fayman Aaraf was flogged for insulting President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a letter he sent from prison. In Aaraf's case, he was not publicly whipped – although his wife and a number of legal officials from Tehran were present.</summary>
