Surprise, surprise, another terrorist-related arrested with links to Somalia. Fox news reported:
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.
They say there was no specific threat at the airport, but clearly the FBI are on to something. For now, we must stay tuned and understand that the threat of homegrown terrorism still exists. Click here to learn more about the threat of homegrown terrorism.

When Art Becomes a Hate Crime - Great Cartoon!

This is a really important cartoon, because it clearly highlights what happens when radical Muslims are completely intolerant. Although the Holy Bible in the toilet might not be a tasteful form of art, it is not interpreted as a hate crime. However, the Koran in the toilet, as the cartoon displays is interpreted as a hate crime. And unfortunately, as we know from past experience, this situation would probably not end simply with a "hate crime" sign above a toilet. Learn more about freedom of speech and radical Islam here. Stay tuned for more information on Everybody Draw Muhammad Day

The Sad Reality of Child Brides

Over the past week, we have heard about two extremely tragic incidents from Yemen regarding child brides. Last week a 13-year-old bride bled to death after she was married. Her husband forced her to have sex and eventually raped her to death. A few days ago, a second story surfaced of an 11-year-old girl who was hospitalized with genital injuries. In this case her husband said that he would wait until she reached puberty to consummate the marriage, but unsurprisingly he did not. In February of 2009 a law was introduced in Yemen stating that girls could not marry until the age of 17, but the law was repealed because some lawmakers viewed it as “un-Islamic.” This statement reinforces the notion of child brides is in fact supported by Islam. We often hear about these stories from human rights organizations, such as UNICEF and Oxfam, but they claim to treat these situations carefully for fear of an explosive political issue. However, we must ask: if this issue is not worth fighting against what is? Read more about these stories here and here and then make a difference. Send 5 “Did You Know” statements to your family and friends and help raise awareness about the reality of child brides. Use the space below to have a discussion and brainstorm about how we as individuals can help put an end to this horrific reality.
