Stealth Threat

There's something very serious happening in Kazakhstan-- and probably many other countries. And it's time teachers, principals, and education departments step up and grab a hold of the situation.

"(T)he growth in Islam’s popularity in Kazakhstan is clear, and this is normal,” Kazakhstan Academy of Sciences fellow Dimash Saurayev said. “So far, Islam, Christianity and other faiths have existed side by side quite peacefully in Kazakhstan. In order to preserve this peace, we must confront extremist movements.” Extremists are targeting teenagers because “they do not yet have fully formed ideals and they are easier to manage,” Saurayev said. “Therefore, we need social programmes to repel such influence.”

One smart mom noticed her son was hiding books under his bed. She found material on the outlawed organization, Hizb ut-Tahrir. His classmate had given it to him. Mom promptly spoke to her teenage boy and sent him to a psychologists. I understand her. Just like you wouldn't want your children tainted by pornographic material, I doubt you'd want your children tainted by religious radicals who live to kill and maim others. If such material is being spread in school, teachers and administration need to do something about it. Now what type of effective measures could be implemented?

Minnesotans shouldn't be the only ones interested in Congressman Ellison (Democrat, 5th district). Here are some bizarre facts about him (see full version here):

-Almost nothing is known of his childhood and teenage years. He studied economics at Wayne State University and in 1982, in his sophomore year, converted to Islam.

-Nothing seems to be known about what mosque he attended, what books he studied, whether he went to Islamic classes or conferences or engaged in any of the religious activities in which young converts usually involve themselves.

-What is known is that, for several years, he associated with or belonged to the Nation of Islam (NOI). Ellison himself denies that he was ever a member of the NOI, then as now under the leadership of Louis Farrakhan, an anti-white, anti-Semitic, anti-establishment demagogue. Despite these disclaimers, Ellison's open support for the NOI for over a decade is a matter of public record.

-In 2006, Ellison ran for the U.S. Congress and won with 56 percent of the vote in Minnesota's fifth congressional district. His election was controversial, sparking some extreme reactions to the fact that he was a Muslim and asked to be sworn into office on a Qur'an.

-Ellison received major funds to help finance his imminent election campaign from several Muslim organizations and individuals, including the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). The donated money included thousands of dollars raised by Nihad Awad, CAIR's executive director (a man with a history of support for movements including Hamas).

-Ellison's extensive association with CAIR and other questionable Islamic groups (see more here).

Did you know that only 2o cents on the dollar that you pay at the pump pays for gas? The rest goes to the country where the oil was pumped. No wonder Radical Isamic terrorists aren't experiencing a recession.  ButI have bad news for terrorists worldwide.

America, Europe and China are working ever so slowly to cut off your funding. In this case Coda Automotive is working to build electric cars that will  bring "End Dependence Day." (its their slogan and I like it.) Not only are they planning on making the car in California but they are just inked a deal to make the batteries in Ohio. That means 1,000 new jobs in the heartland where our people needs jobs bad. Anyway check out the Coda Automotive website, cool car, cool site, just another way that we can stick it to radical Islam everyday.  

I saw this claim written in different places and I didn’t believe it, so I tried it out myself. Well, it turns out they are right. When you type “Christianity is”, or Judaism or Buddhism, “Google Suggest” guesses what you are trying to say and completes the sentence (most of the results are negative). However, when you type “Islam is” there are absolutely NO suggestions! Google told a wired.com reporter that it was simply a software glitch that they were working on. However, that was already 5 days ago and the “glitch” still exists. Aren’t there millions of geniuses working at Google? This idea of censoring anti-Islamic rhetoric seems to be a theme these past few days. The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York pulled some Muhammad works for fear of igniting a controversy. Even the director of the film 2012 admitted to being too afraid to depict any Muslim symbols being destroyed in his newest blockbuster film, for fear of attack. What is going on? It seems that the protesters won in the Muhammad cartoon riots in Denmark a few years back when they sparked fear in everyone one of us. Now it seems that even companies like Google would rather go out of their way to censor themselves, as to avoid what the radical Muslims have in store for us.

Tariq Ahmad, a doctor at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston wrote an OpEd in the NY Times giving what he thinks is the solution to solving the problem of radical Islam. He states: "The reality is that many Muslims are secular. We do not pray five times a day, do not read the Koran and have not spent much time inside a mosque. We only turn to Islam when a child is born, someone gets married or someone dies. To defeat the threat of radical Islam, I suggest that the answer lies among the people who are the least Muslim." Dr Zhudi Jasser the narrator of the film The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision for America, who unlike Tariq Ahmad considers himself a devout Muslim, believes that the answer lies with those members of the Muslim faith who believe that religion and state should be kept separate. What do you think the answer is?

On CAIR’s website, the following statement appears in a page addressing Urban Legends:

Disinformation: CAIR has not condemned Osama bin Laden

Fact: Our condemnations can be easily found on www.cair.com.

Fact: CAIR has said Bin Laden was complicit in the 9/11 attacks and condemned al-Qaeda  

In a December 13, 2001 release titled “CAIR: Video Shows Bin Laden's Complicity in 9-11 Attacks,” CAIR stated: “For anyone who was not convinced of Osama bin Laden's complicity in the events of September 11, the content of this videotape should remove all doubt.“

In a September 11, 2006 release titled “CAIR: U.S. Muslims Repudiate Al-Qaeda Rhetoric, Worldview,” CAIR stated: "As Muslims, we will continue to condemn Al-Qaeda and ensure that the rest of the world learns the true message of Islam and its teachings of peace, justice and compassion for all" and "In light of the 5th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, we feel the need to once again condemn and repudiate Al-Qaeda and its myopic worldview.”

Does this reflect CAIR’s actual view on Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda? The above statement is a clear condemnation. However, as we will see, other responses by CAIR to the attacks and its perpetrators raise questions about its motivations in making the above statements, and also helps call into question its role as a representative of American Muslims.

Georgia man convicted of aiding terrorism groups An Atlanta jury finds Ehsanul Sadequee, 23, guilty in a trial that explored an Internet network of global militant plotting.

An Atlanta jury on Wednesday found a 23-year-old man guilty of aiding terrorist groups after a trial that explored a subculture of youthful extremists who used the Internet to plot attacks and form a loose network connecting North America, Europe and South Asia.

But this paragraph from the article really sums up the nature of the current threat we face in America.

Sadequee's story, according to investigators, showed how the Internet has become an arena of jihad. Without ever meeting face-to-face, online militants can radicalize, hatch plots, exchange funds and help one another reach training camps and battlegrounds.

...The content we sell is considered to be 'overly offensive'.

In Brooklyn, a dentist was arrested for aiding terrorist group, Hezbollah. Fifty-six year-old, Saleh Elahwal aided Hezbollah in broadcasting its television station in the metropolitan area to satellite users. He was sentenced to 17 months in prison. We need to hear more about these stories, and not only in NJ’s Star-Ledger. We need to support these types of rulings that say we will not stand for terrorist activity in our backyards. We will not stand by when one of our citizens helps proven terrorist organizations in getting their message out.  Take action today.
