Radical Islam

Jewish leaders from around the world were enraged when Muslims protesting in Switzerland last weekend used the yellow Star of David symbol as part of their demonstration against discrimination.

The Jewish Telegraphic Agency (JTA) reported Saturday that 2,000 people showed up last week for a demonstration in Bern initiated by the Islamic Central Council of Switzerland, a conservative Islamic organization, to protest anti-Muslim discrimination.

Protesters wore a yellow star sticker printed with the word "Muslim" reminiscent of the one that the Nazis forced Jews to wear during the Third Reich.

Edith Bino, president of the Jewish community in Bern, told the Basler Times that she found the use of the yellow star "so obviously wrong that it could not be taken seriously." And Yves Kugelmann, editor in chief of the Jewish newspaper Tachles, said he found the choice of symbols "simply idiotic."

Nicolas Blancho, head of the Islamic Central Council, defended his choice of symbols, telling the Tages Anzeiger newspaper that "Muslims are treated as second-class citizens and are discriminated against, for example because they wear a headscarf or because of their name when they look for an apprenticeship or are looking for an apartment."

Among the speakers were British journalist Lauren Booth, sister-in-law of former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. Booth, who has converted to Islam and wears a veil.

How absurd that this community of Radical Islamists chose to use a symbol that so painfully recalls the victimization of Jews during World War II and yet so many in the Muslim world deny the very existence of the Holocaust.

How many attacks have been carried out by Islamic terrorists since 9/11?

There are people who probably think 9/11 was the last Islamic terrorist attack. Others, who are more up-to-date on the world of radical Islam, might say the Stockholm bomber was the last.

Did you know that there have been almost-daily terrorist attacks throughout the world in the past decade? Probably not, since mass media, as well as world leaders, have failed to report these horrific acts of violence. 

The website www.thereligionofpeace.com has been keeping a tally of jihad attacks worldwide since 9/11. This week, the counter passed 17,000 worldwide terrorist attacks since 9/11, which is equivalent to over 4 separate attacks per day. And mainstream media fails to report this. Maybe its time to take matters into our own hands. How do YOU think we can make difference?

Where do the “bad” Muslim children in Britain go?

More and more Muslim parents are sending their “problem kids” to Islamic religious schools in Kashmir, and according to Wikileaks, these kids are at a “high risk of radicalization,” and are increasingly likely to be recruited by al Qaeda.  

And the threats of homegrown radical Islam in Britain continue to grow…

Today is the second anniversary of the Mumbai terror attacks in which hundreds were brutally murdered or wounded, in shooting and bombing attacks across the city by Islamic terrorists from Pakistan.

Although 2 years have passed since this tragic event, the threat posed by radical Islamic terrorists is still very much at large. We cannot allow ourselves to forget that radical Islam continues to jeopardize innocent lives on almost a daily basis. We owe it to those killed in the Mumbai attacks to keep ourselves educated about this threat.

Let us all take a moment of silence to remember the innocent victims of the attacks.

Mohamed Hamoud Alessa, 20, of North Bergen, and Carlos Eduardo Almonte, 26, of Elmwood Park were charged with conspiracy to commit international terrorism and were picked up by the FBI before boarding flights to join the Somali Al Qaeda affiliate Al Shabaab, officials said. Both men are believed to be American citizens. The two men were arrested following a years-long investigation and were charged with conspiring to commit an act of international terrorism through a group tied to Usama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda network, a federal law enforcement source told FOXNews.com.
