Storm Track Infiltration: A Guide to Appeasing Muslims in Schools

Yep. That’s right. Muslims have a how-to guide for infiltrating our school systems with Islamic ideals. According to this Islamic website, here are the Six Steps to achieve religious accommodation in our public school system.

Hat tip to Facta-Non-Verba. Also check out their list of Muslim Accommodation in US Schools.

Does your child need a prayer room to perform Zuhr in during lunchtime? Does he need time off for Juma? Or do you want to convince a teacher or principal to give your daughter the day off for Eid-ul-Fitr? Whatever Islamic obligation you want accommodated at your child's school, it must be done in a methodical, clear and proper manner.

Shabbir Mansuri is founding director of the Council on Islamic Education in Fountain Valley, California. He provides tips and advice on how to get religious accommodation for your child.

Step 1: Know the laws and regulations regarding the issues of religious freedom and accommodation of religion.

Step 2: Get support of the teacher. Then meet with the principal and the favorite teacher, requesting that your child be allowed to perform prayers on campus, for example. If you do not get what you want, proceed to Step 3.

Step 3: Leave a paper trail, but first, be really, really nice. Write letters to leave a paper trail. Be non-confrontational, you are only exercising your constitutional rights in the most respectful way. If need be, invite the teacher and principal over for dinner as a gesture of good will.

Step 4: Write to the supportive teacher, meet with the teacher, ask advice, discuss child's religious needs, share President Clinton's instructions to school districts on accommodating religious needs. After meeting, send a thank you letter to the teacher. Set up a second meeting and discuss your demands again. Be polite and non-threatening, you are only trying to accommodate your child's religious needs.

Step 5: Meet a second time with the supportive teacher and the principal. Bring state and local educational codes that relate to religious accommodation. Express your parental rights, but make it a win-win situation for everyone. By now, your child should have his religious needs accommodated.

Step 6: If necessary, repeat theses steps with the school district's superintendent. Write more letters and have more meetings until you get what you want.

As Fact-Non-Verba summarized so nicely: “So the basic steps are to know the US laws, then ingratiate yourself to the school officials, meet with school officials, write letters to school officials, coerce school officials, then repeat these steps over and over again until you have the level of "accommodation" you desire.”

Any of this happening at your school?

‘Tis the season for Christmas songs and Achmed the dead terrorist has the Christmas spirit. Here he sings.

Web TV Hub writes:

Achmed’s favorite festive pastime is singing Christmas carols, but his songs are very different than the ones I learned.

Rather than waiting for Santa Claus, Achmed sings Bin Laden is Coming to Town. He’d also rather sing about Jingle Bombs than Jingle Bells.

Achmed treats us to a performance of this unique Christmas song, which curses the actions of the US military and laments the lack of promised virgins in the afterlife. This angry little puppet is just hilarious, and I can’t help singing along to his catchy carol.

What a stitch.

Storm Track Infiltration: Al-Zawahiri.com

Here’s a new take on ‘Talk to the CEO’. Al-Zawahiri for the first time invited visitors to pose their questions to him promising to answer them by the middle of next month.

As-Sahab issued a statement inviting all parties, individuals and institutions to participate in Zawahiri's so-called "Open Forum", with the promise of a reply by the man himself. Dozens of questions have already started piling up on Islamist websites affiliated with the Al-Qaeda movement, which in turn is monitored by governments and intelligence agencies globally.

In his most recent appearance, Al-Qaeda's Second-in-Command Ayman al-Zawahiri stressed the importance of "jihad media", describing it as a critical tool in the battle against the "Crusader-Zionist Enemy".

Zawahiri's emphasis on "Jihad" media illustrates that it is a part of a larger declared strategy, which his movement needs to ensure its continuity.

Too bad we don’t know the actual URL. I have a few questions to ask him myself.

By the way, think about this.

Recently, more jihadist Web sites in Europe have switched to U.S. computer servers -- mostly because they can, says Rita Katz, director of the Washington-based Search for International Terrorist Entities (SITE) Institute. American Web hosting is cheap, easy to access and U.S. servers are technologically among the best in the world. To avoid detection, terrorists frequently change Web addresses and often squat undetected on other Web sites or Internet servers. Katz believes the most hard-core Al Qaeda and jihadist Web sites are hosted in the U.S. because of freedom of speech protections.

Because of our freedom of speech protections. And they’re aiding and abetting our enemies for the almighty buck.

It was Lenin that once said "The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them."

Storm Track Intimidation: The Religion of Peace in Action

Indonesia, that model Islamic nation of tolerance of its many religions, saw fit to increase security ahead of the Christmas holiday last week.

Was it because so many shoppers at he stores looking for bargains carried the threat rioting? Or perhaps Christians, feeling their superiority with their holiday, intimidated the other religions practiced in Indonesia?

Nope. It seems that some Muslims in this Islamic dominated country can’t stand the sight of Christmas decoration and Santa Clause or hear the sounds of Christmas carols heralding peace on earth and good will towards men. It sticks in their craw.

Officials have tightened security at churches, malls, and tourism sites as Christians prepare to celebrate Christmas in Indonesia, a secular nation with the world's largest population of Muslims.

More soldiers and policemen are visible, bags are checked at entrances and exits, and cars are checked for the possible carrying of explosive devices.

As the strains of Christmas music play at this mall in Jakarta, Ika brings her young child to see Santa Claus. She says security is always a concern during Christmas, but she is confident all necessary precautions have been taken.

So who’s the Muslim Grinch that steals the holiday cheer in this nation?

The Southeast Asia terrorist network Jemaah Islamiyah, or JI, has been blamed for a series of bombings in Indonesia that have claimed the lives of over 200 people.

These attacks include the church bombings across the country on Christmas Eve in 2000, the bombing of the JW Mariott Hotel and outside the Australian embassy in Jakarta in 2004, and the bombings in Bali in 2002 and 2005.

Officials say the extra security forces, which include extra police and military personnel, will remain in place until after the New Year celebration.

Just another example of Muslim ‘tolerance’ that such security measures must be installed in a Muslim dominated state.

Storm Track Disinformation: Iran’s Islamic Christmas Wishes To The Christian World

During this season of hope for peace on earth and good will towards men, Iran’s Parliament congratulated Iranian and world Christians on the birth of Jesus Christ and expressed the hope that the New Year would be a year of peace and justice in which the world people would benefit from the teachings of Jesus Christ. The speaker made the remarks while addressing an open session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly here on Wednesday.

That out of the way – the But Monkey appears.

BUT - Iran's Parliament Speaker Gholam Ali Haddad Adel compared the Judeo-Christian nations as the Anti-Christ.

Stating that the world people know Jesus Christ as a symbol of peace, kindness and justice, Haddad Adel reminded, "But unfortunately, many Christian powers are standing at a point on the opposite side of Jesus Christ and are a symbol of war, oppression and animosity.

The man needs to look in the mirror for real symbols of war, oppression and animosity.

"We should pray that the western world powers become real Christians, because they are not Christians at present and are, in fact, acting against the Christ."

Now that’s a great idea! Why doesn’t the West start acting like real Christians and defend their faith against the encouragement of a mid-evil superstitious religion instead of appeasing it and looking for ways of accommodation.

Storm Track Infiltration: Crime in Australia Takes on a Muslim Face

More and more, crime in Australia is taking on a Middle Eastern face. Tim Priest, a former police detective from New South Wales Australia, describes the combination of willful political negligence which is leading to police inaction where cops in Australia, like in France, won’t even go into Middle-Eastern and North African neighborhoods.

This from the MacKenzie Institute, founded in 1986 in Toronto, an independent non-profit organization concerned with issues related to political instability and organized violence. This includes such matters as terrorism, political extremism, warfare and organized crime. Hat tip to Louis.

In the early 1980s, as a young detective I was attached to the Drug Squad at the old CIB (Criminal Intelligence Bureau). I remember executing a search warrant at Croydon, where we found nearly a pound of heroin. I know that now sounds very familiar; however, what set this heroin apart was that it was Bekkah Valley heroin, markedly different from any heroin I had seen. Number Four heroin from the golden triangle of South East Asia is nearly always off white, almost pure diamorphine. This heroin was almost brown.

But more remarkable were the occupants of the house. They were very recent arrivals from Lebanon, and from the moment we entered the premises, we wrestled and fought with the male occupants, were abused and spat at by the women and children, and our search took five times longer because of the impediments placed before us by the occupants, including the women hiding heroin in baby nappies and on themselves and refusing to be searched by policewomen because of their religious beliefs.

We had never encountered these problems before.

So what do you do? Lock them up of course. They broke the law, right? Not for liberals. To them language is something they like to distort to meet their political agenda. Illegal aliens? How dare you? They’re just undocumented workers looking to make a simple living. The poor dears just don’t understand that they and those who march in protests for them just don’t understand that they have broken the law. Maybe it’s because they don’t speak the native language. Maybe if they learn English they can read the law.

Anyway, I digress. In Australia political correctness and the creed of victimology also trumps the law.

As was the case in those days, we arrested every adult and teenager who had hampered our search. When it came to court, they were represented by Legal Aid, of course, who claimed that these people were innocent of the minor charges of public disorder and hindering police, because they were recent arrivals from a country where people have an historical hatred towards police, and that they also had poor communications skills and that the police had not executed the warrant in a manner that was acceptable to the Muslim occupants.

The magistrate, well known to police as one who convicted fewer than one in ten offenders brought before him during his term at Burwood local court, threw the matter out, siding with the occupants and condemning the police.

Disgusting, isn’t it? The law is not equally applied to everyone. What was that legal term that we use in the civilized world, Ignorance of the law is no excuse. I bet if those Lebanese were tossed in jail they’ll remember to obey the law next time.

The Christmas Story

From the Book of Luke

In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. And everyone went to his own town to register.

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."

Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."

When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."

So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Merry Christmas Everyone - From Our House To Yours!!

Storm Track Disinformation: Accused Jihadist Uses the Nessie Defense

When you think you heard it all, this comes up.

According to accused Jihadist Kader Ahmed, there was this misunderstanding. You see, he went on a trip arranged by preacher Mohammed Hamid, to Scotland at Christmas 2004. And according to his disposition he said "It was very beautiful as well. I had never seen reindeer before."

Reindeer? In Scotland? Well, yes. There’s a small heard there in the Cairngorm mountains and the Cromdale hills.

Any way, he and his teacher stopped by Loch Ness for a few days to see if they could spot Nessie.

But the Scottish authorities saw it another Way. They believed he went up there to train as a Jihadist at a paintball training camp.

Ahmed, from east London, admits going on camping trips and paintballing sessions with Hamid's group, who included four of the men later convicted of the plot to bomb London on July 21, 2005. But the trainee electrician, who was 17 when he met Hamid, told Woolwich Crown Court he assumed it was harmless fun "like Scouts or Cadets".

He denies three counts of attending a place used for terrorist training.

Just a romp through the countryside.

His barrister, Hugh Mullan, asked him: "Was the atmosphere solemn and militaristic?"

Ahmed replied: "No, it wasn't. There was lots of joking. It was very beautiful. It was something new.

"It was fairly busy - a lot of tourists. They were kind of shocked at the big beards but we spoke to them just to break the ice."

Ahmed said he was told by someone else who went to see Hamid - dubbed Osama bin London - speak in Hyde Park that he organised activities for young people.

Aha. Right. Osama bin London. Could this guy be that dim witted? Well – yes.

Mr Mullan asked him: "Did you think you were being trained to go and fight in a foreign country?"

Ahmed replied: "Never, no."

He accepted the terrorists convicted of the July 21 plot were part of the extended group that used to attend Hamid's events in 2004 and 2005.

But he said he was with Hamid on a camping trip in France in the immediate aftermath of the failed bomb attack and did not know his acquaintances Ramzi Mohammed, Hussain Osman and Muktar Ibrahim had been arrested until he returned.

He said: "We thought it was like a frame-up."

He said he later subscribed to a theory that the same anti-Muslim elements were responsible for faking the September 11 attacks on America and the London attacks.

I assume he believes in Big Foot too.

Storm Track Infiltration: Staying Up To Date With Jihad

Keep up with those crazy Jihadists – who they are and where they are doing their latest dastardly deed is hard to keep up with. So here are a couple of resources you can use to stay up to date with Jihad.

First, if you when a kid enjoyed collecting baseball cards then the U.S. Department of Defense has issued a collection of Terrorist Recognition Cards. Click on a region to see who's who (complete with stats) and who's wanted.

You can choose from one of five regions – Afghanistan/Pakistan, Iraq, the horn of Africa, the Arabian Peninsula and Southeast Asia - and see who’s who in terrorism.

Terrorist Recognition Cards are not an exhaustive collection of all known
terrorists. Because the cards are intended to aid in recognition, they do not
include many known high-threat terrorists for whom pictures are unavailable.
Similarly not present are terrorists for whom only limited biographic
information is available. Individuals pictured will possibly alter their
appearance to avoid recognition.

People with information about
individuals in the Terrorist Recognition Cards should contact the nearest U.S.
Embassy or Consulate, the FBI, or the Rewards for Justice.

For real time global display of Terrorism and other suspicious events, check out the Global Incident Map. The map is interactive and zoomable and in real time and is automatically updated every 310 seconds. It also has an RSS subscription.

You can select incidents by types, country, date/time and even city of the world. Don’t be blindsided in your neighborhood by terrorist or suspicious activity like Bridge / Tunnel Incidents and Security, Bus Stations/ Bus Security/ Bus Related Incidents, Assassination/ Assassination Attempt, Radiation Incidents/ Smuggling/ Proliferation, Chemical Attack, Bomb Incidents/Explosives/ Hoax Devices and other valuable reports.

Pretty cool!

Storm Track Infiltration: Criminal Jihad Progressing Nicely

What’s one of the best places to recruit future terrorists in the West? Your best bet is to go those who are already resentful of their own country – prison inmates. This knowledge does not go unheeded by the Jihadists.

There has been a concerted effort by Jihadists to preach radical Wahhabi Islam in our prisons and recruit inmates to the cause of radial Islam. Criminal Jihad is only one of the many different non-violent jihads practiced by political Islam like cultural jihad, economic jihad, demographic jihad, media jihad, legal jihad, institutional jihad and financial jihad.

The latest on criminal jihad is that two founders of a prison-based terrorist organization pleaded guilty on Friday of conspiracy to launch terror attacks against the United States.

Two members of a prison-based Islamic terrorist cell that authorities say
was poised to attack military sites, synagogues and other targets across
Southern California pleaded guilty in federal court Friday to conspiring to wage
war against the United States.

The plot, which police stumbled upon during a routine investigation into a gas station holdup, represented one of the most realistic terrorism threats on U.S. soil since Sept. 11, experts said. The case also raised concerns about whether the country's prisons could serve as recruiting centers for Islamic extremists.

As the defendants entered their pleas, prosecutors made public several documents
detailing the group's operations. One handwritten paper, titled "Modes of
Attack," includes a list of National Guard facilities, Army recruiting centers
and something referred to as the "camp site of Zion."

Another two-page document, labeled "Blueprint 2005," sets out eight tasks to be
accomplished in furtherance of the plot. "We will need bombs that can be
activated from a distance," one entry reads. "Acquire two weapons (pistols) with
silencers," reads another.

Kevin Lamar James and Levar Haney Washington, members of the homegrown radical Islamic organization dubbed JIS, entered guilty pleas in front of U.S. District Judge Cormac J. Carney in federal court in Santa Ana.

Why news like this isn’t not picked up by the media shows how blinded they are by political correctness that they don’t see the threat staring them in the face. This story somehow got by the PC police at the LA Times.

Storm Track Infiltration: Faculty Professor Says US Response to 9/11 Should Conform to Sharia Law

I know. I almost threw my mouse across the room too when I read the headline. This is what passes for academic thinking in the country. Poor. Piss poor.

Who is this effetist clown? His name is Dr. Kevin Jaques also known as of the ThreeMosqueteers and one of the three academics who are helping architect PaulMurdoch to plant a terrorist memorial mosque on the Flight 93 crashsite. He was most central to the Park Service’s fraudulent internalinvestigation.

Here’s the professor’s analysis of what our response should have been to 9/11.

Shortly after 9/11, Indiana University School of Law sponsored a forum on
the likely legal fallout from the attacks: consequences for immigration law,
civil rights,etcetera. As the university’s resident expert on Islamic (sharia)
law,Jaques was invited to say something about our looming engagement with
theIslamic world and their systems of law.

He chose to write a prescriptive
article, urging the United States to frame its response
inconformity with traditional Sharia requirements.

Jaques makes the
basic arguments for submission that any anti-warmulticulturalist might make. He
offers an appeasement pitch:

If the United States wishes to
approach the fight against terrorismto limit future revivalist terror groups
from forming and attackingAmerican citizens and interests, it will be necessary
to craft a responsethat conforms to the realities of Islamic
law.

And he offers a when-in-Rome pitch:

Muslim
religious leaders think of the world in legal terms and willreact to U.S.
policies according to how these policies conflict oradhere to Islamic legal
principles.

Of course we should avoid gratuitous offense, when in
Rome(just as we should practice it as a pastime at home). But should wereally
submit to sharia law?

Nowhere does Jaques even acknowledge that
world-wide submission tosharia law is the ultimate goal of the 9/11
terrorists.

This kind of muddied, fuzzy thinking is not new to liberals. It’s just the way they think - unable to place cause and effect together. Even when the answer is given to them by those they seek to understand in their context.

Take the idea that we can deal with Islamic nations by finding out what they want and seek to negotiate with them. But there are any ‘nations’ in Islam as we see define them. Islam is a pure nation unto itself and is ruled by Sharia law. The nation of Islam recognizes no other law than the Koran. And the Loran teaches that Islam must rule the world in order to attain peace – the peace one has under total submission to Allah and the nation of Islam.

To quote Ayatollah Khomeini, the founder of the new Islamic reformation.

We do not worship Iran, we worship Allah. For patriotism is another name for paganism. I say let this land [Iran] burn. I say let this land go up in smoke, provided Islam emerges triumphant in the rest of the world.

How do you negotiate with that?

Storm Track Appeasement: Heard Animals and the Left

A while back I wrote a post on Sheepdogs, Wolves & Sheep that compared the Left with sheep and those in our society that keep them fat and happy and protected from wolves. Mark Helprin writing in The Claremont Review of Books contributed an opinion piece using another animal comparison. His piece entitled “Herd Animals” described the Left as having a heard – or collective – instinct that prevents them from facing threats to their community.

The nature of one’s reaction to aggression against one’s country will often
be determined by whether one sees the polity primarily as individuals who must
struggle with the imperfection of being bound into a collective, or as a
collective that must overcome the circumstantial imperfection that it comprises
individuals. For wildebeest thundering across a plain in Africa, it takes a
village. The herd defends itself by sacrificing a miniscule
proportion of its number and moving on. If the herd were to turn upon the
jackals preying upon it, the jackels would be pulverized almost instantly.
Nonetheless, if the price for the escape of ten thousand is the sacrifice
of only a few, this is how it is done when the collective is paramount.

There is a comparison here to the school shootings of today. When a lone gun man enters a school, the collective cowers under their desks and wait for the hunter to pick them off one by one. If the males in the group, understanding that a gunman can be overpowered by numbers, attacked the government and sacrifice a few for the collective, such incident would reduce the causality count among the prey. But they don’t, and all and not just a few are subject to being victims.

But animals like bears, tigers and lions, that wander individually or in
small groups, know that their survival depends upon how they fight, and
their willingness to fight is so well understood that they are seldom attacked,
whereas to a predator a herd in flight is a living contradiction to the maxim
that there is no FREE LUNCH…

When The Left bends to America’s
enemies it may not be a result of cowardice or betrayal, but of loyalty to
the omelette so single-minded that it precludes consideration of the
eggs….

Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich delivered a speech at the American Enterprise Institute where he referenced a book called ‘Troublesome Young Men’ which is a study of the younger Conservatives who opposed appeasement in the 1930s and who took on Chamberlain.

It's a very revealing book and a very powerful book because we tend to look
backwards and we tend to overstate Churchill's role in that period. And we tend
to understate what a serious and conscientious and thoughtful effort appeasement
was and that it was the direct and deliberate policy of very powerful and very
willful people. We tend to think of it as a psychological weakness as though
Chamberlain was somehow craven. He wasn't craven. Chamberlain had a very clear
vision of the world and he was very ruthless domestically. And they believed so
deeply in avoiding war with Germany that as late as the spring of 1940, when
they are six months or seven months into they war, they are dropping leaflets
instead of bombs on the Rohr, and they are urging the British news media not to
publish anti-German stories because they don't want to offend the German people.

The Chamberlain world view was one of the British omelet
sacrificing, if necessary, the individual British eggs. Even on the eve of World
War II where most people knew war was upon them, the Chamberlain Brits were
concerned about publishing anti-German stories fearing that they might offend
the German people.

Sounds a lot like today? Huh? Chamberlain had the same problem we have today. He couldn’t bring himself to see that it was an ideology not a country or a people that was the enemy. We’re making the same mistake today by not embracing the concept of Islamo-fascism or Islamism as the enemy and not any one particular Muslim country or group.

And you read this book, and it makes you want to weep because,
interestingly, the younger Tories who were most opposed to appeasement were the
combat veterans of World War I, who had lost all of their friends in the war but
who understood that the failure of appeasement would result in a worse war and
that the longer you lied about reality, the greater the disaster.

And they were severly punished and isolated by Chamberlain and the
Conservative machine, and as I read that, I realized that that's really where we
are today. Our current problem is tragic. You have an administration whose
policy is inadequate being opposed by a political left whose policy is worse,
and you have nobody pre pared to talk about the policy we need. Because we are
told if you are for a strong America, you should back the Bush policy even if
it's inadequate, and so you end up making an argument in favor of something that
can't work. So your choice is to defend something which isn't working or to
oppose it by being for an even weaker policy. So this is a catastrophe for this
country and a catastrophe for freedom around the world. Because we have refused
to be honest about the scale of the problem.

Absolutely correct. Those that worship at the altar of pacifism will only bring down upon us all a terrible price for peace at any cost. Or to quote Robert Heinlein, “Pacifism is a shifty doctrine under which a man accepts the benefits of the social group without being willing to pay -- and claims a halo for his dishonesty.”

When will the pacifist ever learn that peace is not the absence of war, but the presence of justice.

Storm Track Infiltration: Shari'a-Jihad Threat Alert #1

Mapping Sharia in America, that has been investigating different mosques over the last several months, has issued their first Shari'a-Jihad Threat Alert.

The first threat centers on an imam called Yusuf Estes – a popular Islamic leader in America. He is active in converting non-Muslims to Islam and writes for several different web sites. Check out the YouTube video where he claims to have converted 135 infidels to Islam after his lecture.



Yusuf Estes preaches from the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Center, Falls Church, Va. The evidence obtained by Mapping Sharia in America was an audio recording on 18 May 2007 of a conversation between Dave Gaubatz, Director of Mapping Shari’a, and Estes.

Dir. Gaubatz had specific intelligence information from a Muslim informant
who had visited Dar al-Hijrah suggesting that Muslims associated with Dar
al-Hijrah were recruiting other Muslims and even non-Muslims in an attempt to
establish a greater “Wahhabi” culture in America. The Wahhabi sect, with strong
ties to the Salafists of Saudi Arabia and the other Gulf States, is a main
exporter or the violent Jihadist political ideology of a world wide Islamic
hegemony.

During the conversation, Estes had his assistants go inside the mosque and obtain Islamic materials for Dir. Gaubatz. At 42:43 minutes into the site visit, Estes placed a compact disc inside Dir. Gaubatz’s jacket pocket. At 52:51 minutes into the site visit, Estes asked Gaubatz if he was ready to convert (or “revert” insofar as Estes preaches everyone was originally a Muslim) and to do so by repeating after him the expression of faith required by Islamic law to become a Muslim. Dir. Gaubatz completed the pseudo conversion to Islam.

Dir. Gaubatz subsequently left Dar al-Hijrah and reviewed the compact
disk Estes had placed inside his pocket. On the disk was a cover letter stating:
“We encourage you to review this CD carefully. Every Muslim must have a copy of
this valuable CD”. Further review of this disk revealed a 17-page manual in
English, entitled The Book of Jihad, Chapter 234, “Obligation of Jihad”. The manual includes passages from the Qur’an, the Sunna (consisting of Ahadith [pl. of
Hadith], which are the authoritative teachings and actions of Mohammed, and
which are used along with verses from the Qur’an as the basis of Shari’a or
Islamic law), and commentary.

So what we have here is a Jihadist actively recruiting people jihad and the over throw of the U.S. as a constitutional republic.

Winds of War: Seeing the Threat of Islam is Not New

If you take a short romp through history you’ll see the realization that Islam is a threat to civilization is not new. Check out these quotes.

Lord Tebbit

"The Muslim religion is so unreformed since it was created that nowhere in the Muslim world has there been any real advance in science, or art or literature, or technology in the last 500 years"

Vernon Richards

"The true Islamic concept of peace goes something like this: "Peace comes through submission to Muhammad and his concept of Allah" (i.e. Islam). As such the Islamic concept of peace, meaning making the whole world Muslim, is actually a mandate for war. It was inevitable and unavoidable that the conflict would eventually reach our borders, and so it has."

Andre Servier

“Islam was not a torch, as has been claimed, but an extinguisher. Conceived in a barbarous brain for the use of a barbarous people, it was - and it remains - incapable of adapting itself to civilization. Wherever it has dominated, it has broken the impulse towards progress and checked the evolution of society.”

Winston Churchill

“The religion of Islam above all others was founded upon the sword … Moreover it provides incentives to slaughter, and in three continents has produced fighting breeds of men – filled with a wild and merciless fanaticism”.

John Quincy Adams

"The precept of the Koran is, perpetual war against all who deny, that Mahomet is the prophet of God. The vanquished may purchase their lives, by the payment of tribute; the victorious may be appeased by a false and delusive promise of peace; and the faithful follower of the prophet, may submit to the imperious necessities of defeat: but the command to propagate the Moslem creed by the sword is always obligatory, when it can be made effective. The commands of the prophet may be performed alike, by fraud, or by force".

John Wesley

"Ever since the religion of Islam appeared in the world, the espousers of it...have been as wolves and tigers to all other nations, rending and tearing all that fell into their merciless paws, and grinding them with their iron teeth; that numberless cities are raised from the foundation, and only their name remaining; that many countries, which were once as the garden of God, are now a desolate wilderness; and that so many once numerous and powerful nations are vanished from the earth! Such was, and is at this day, the rage, the fury, the revenge, of these destroyers of human kind".

Hilaire Belloc

"Will not perhaps the temporal power of Islam return and with it the menace of an armed Mohammedan world, which will shake off the domination of Europeans -- still nominally Christian -- and reappear as the prime enemy of our civilization? The future always comes as a surprise, but political wisdom consists in attempting at least some partial judgment of what that surprise may be. And for my part I cannot but believe that a main unexpected thing of the future is the return of Islam".

Bishop Fulton J Sheen

"Today (1950), the hatred of the Moslem countries against the West is becoming hatred against Christianity itself. Although the statesmen have not yet taken it into account, there is still grave danger that the temporal power of Islam may return and, with it, the menace that it may shake off a West which has ceased to be Christian, and affirm itself as a great anti-Christian world Power".

William Eaton, US Consul to Tunis, wrote in 1799:

"Considered as a nation, they are deplorably wretched, because they have no property in the soil to inspire an ambition to cultivate it. They are abject slaves to the despotism of their government, and they are humiliated by tyranny, the worst of all tyrannies, the despotism of priestcraft. They live in more solemn fear of the frowns of a bigot who has been dead and rotten above a thousand years, than of the living despot whose frown would cost them their lives…The ignorance, superstitious tradition and civil and religious tyranny, which depress the human mind here, exclude improvement of every kind…"

Ayatollah Khomeini

“Islam makes it incumbent on all adult males, provided they are not disabled and incapacitated, to prepare themselves for the conquest of [other] countries so that the writ of Islam is obeyed in every country in the world. But those who study Islamic Holy War will understand why Islam wants to conquer the whole world…. Those who know nothing of Islam pretend that Islam counsels against war. Those [who say this] are witless. Islam says Kill all the unbelievers just as they would kill you all! Does this mean that Muslims should sit back until they are devoured by [the unbelievers] Islam says Kill them [the non-Muslims], put them to the sword and scatter [their armies]. Does this mean sitting back until [non-Muslims] overcome us Islam says Kill in the service of Allah those who may want to kill you! Does this mean that we should surrender to the enemy Islam says Whatever good there is exists thanks to the sword and in the shadow of the sword! People cannot be made obedient except with the sword! The sword is the key to Paradise, which can be opened only for Holy Warriors! There are hundreds of other [Koranic] verses and Hadiths [sayings of the Prophet] urging Muslims to value war and to fight. Does all that mean that Islam is a religion that prevents men from waging war I spit upon those foolish souls who make such a claim.”

These men saw something then that we are just beginning to see now. We should heed their counsel.

Storm Track Appeasement: Episcopalians, Other Christians Ask Muslims for Forgiveness

Yeah, you read that right. Christians are now apologizing to Muslims. This is a disgusting and unbelievable act of prostration to Islam. What the hell is the Church thinking? Where are the Crusaders of old who remember Martel and Vienna and who refused to see Europe become another Muslim conquest?

Disgusting, just disgusting.

Seven bishops and other Episcopal leaders joined with a number of influential Christian leaders in signing a letter asking Muslims to forgive Christians. The letter with signatures recently appeared as a full-page advertisement in The New York Times.

“Muslims and Christians have not always shaken hands in friendship; their relations have sometimes been tense, even characterized by outright hostility,” the authors said. “Since Jesus Christ says, ‘First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your neighbor’s eye’ (Matthew 7:5), we want to begin by acknowledging that in the past (e.g. in the Crusades) and in the present (e.g. in excesses of the 'war on terror’) many Christians have been guilty of sinning against our Muslim neighbors. Before we ‘shake your hand’ in responding to your letter, we ask forgiveness of the All Merciful One and of the Muslim community around the world.”

And where’s the letter of forgiveness from Muslims for the atrocities they committed in history against Christians –and are still going on today? How can Christian leaders commend Muslim leaders and apologize for the failings of the church in the past without taking any account of what Islam has done and is doing to Christian minorities in their countries today. Why has the Church chosen to ignore their plight and even to apologize to the Muslims?

The Episcopal leaders should take a refresher course on the religion they claim to represent.

To quote Rev. Canon Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, International Director of the Barnabas Fund a Christian Relief Agency that focuses on persecuted Christian minorities in the Muslim World and elsewhere, “Prince Charles and various Anglican bishops as well as political leaders are united in affirming this. However a closer analysis of both traditions will show this is not the case. For example, Islamic tradition is based on the community (ummah), or the nation [of Islam]. The Christian approach is based on the worth of the individual, freedom of thought, expression, conscience and freedom to change. In Islam such freedoms do not exist. So human rights and religious liberty in the Islamic mind are not given the same weight and importance as in the Christian tradition.”

Storm Track Disinformation: Islam Awareness Week Promotes Understanding - NOT!

In a counter propaganda move to offset the successful Islamo-Fascism Week held on campuses around the country several weeks ago, The Muslim Student Union of UC Irvine held several events to showcase Islam Awareness Week.

Put on your high boots because you won’t get out of this post without a big shovel!

The first speaker was Yvonne Ridley. You’ll remember her as the British reporter who snuck into Afghanistan to do a story on the Taliban and got more than she bargained for. She was captured and the persuasive powers of the Taliban made her have a change of heart and she left as a convert to Islam. And of course, she wrote a book about Afghanistan that read like a Fodor’s travel guide.

After entering a small village near Jalalabad in Afghanistan, Ridley experienced a “hospitality that was only outstripped by curiosity.” Ridley explained that when the locals found out she was a foreigner, instead of retreating, they spoke with her about their experiences post-9/11. Many did not understand what those attacks had to do with Afghanistan, as the hijackers were mostly from Saudi Arabia.

Ridley described herself as having many of the typical Western stereotypes of Muslim women. However, after speaking with a few Afghan women, she quickly found that they were not “quiet Afghan women hiding,” but “larger than life” and very well educated.

Ahhh…How sweet! I guess being a woman in Afghanistan is something close to paradise. I wonder where these women she spoke to got an education since schooling is forbid for women by the Taliban.

Ridley refused to convert to Islam when asked to do so by a religious cleric. However, she promised to read the Qur’an and learn more about Islam if they let her go. Instead, she was moved to the “grimmest third-world prison.” Four days later, she was released into Pakistan.

I wonder at that time she felt a like a woman ‘larger than life’. But Ridley kept her promise like a good submissive woman should and the rest is – a book.

Is this BS getting deep enough for you? No? Then wait.

Summer Bowie, a fourth-year dance major, learned about the role of women in Islam from Ridley’s lecture. She “didn’t know Muslim women played such big roles in Iraq and Afghanistan … and about women’s role in Islam.”

Yeah – as punching bags. Sheeezz.

And here it comes….

On Wednesday at Noon, Amir Abdel Malik Ali presented a speech about “iPod Nation” and materialism in the United States. Ali believes that the “purpose of the media is to keep people locked into a fake world, a matrix, that destroys your health, intellectuality, morality, ethics and spirituality.”

Ali commented on the rising number of foreclosures in Southern California and the amount of debt that more and more Americans find themselves in everyday. “Debt is a form of slavery … when people are struggling for basics, it robs them of time to organize and to change their lifestyle” to focus on more important things, like belief and family.

See? It’s those damn capitalists fault. Now if we all lived in a socialist environmentally correct utopia and forsake the amenities of our technological society, we would all have the peace that Islam promises.

But Sheikh Khaled Yasin’s presentation was of note and show the misunderstanding that Muslims have about a free, open and tolerant society which Muslims claim to believe in.

He used the Danish cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad as a terrorist as an example of ignorance. Yasin believes that the cartoonists “didn’t understand the seriousness of what they did.

Doesn’t sound like a parent scolding its child? While in reality, it’s Islam that’s the society that never grew up into a responsible citizen of the 21^st century.

Is This What We’ve Come To?

I couldn’t let this go by without a comment even though it doesn’t match the theme of my blog. But then again, it does show what our society has come to when predatory lawyers like John Edwards file suits for people who lack any common sense whatsoever.

Sorta like the dhimmis we have today that bow to every offense – real or imagined – that some Muslims whine about.

The Wacky Warning Label Contest, now in its 11th year, is conducted by Novi-based Michigan Lawsuit Abuse Watch as part of an effort to show the effects of lawsuits on warning labels. Contest organizer Bob Dorigo Jones says the silly labels reflect how broken America's civil justice system is.

Here are the winners this year.

• Kevin Soave of Farmington Hills, a Detroit suburb, won the $500 grand prize for submitting warning label on a small tractor that reads "Danger: Avoid Death"
• The $250 second place was given to Carrianne, Jacob and Robby Turin of Greensburg, Pa., for a label they found on an iron-on T-shirt transfer that warns: "Do not iron while wearing shirt."
• Richard Goodnow of Lancaster, Mass., earned the $100 third-place prize for a label on a baby stroller featuring a small storage pouch that warns: "Do not put child in bag."
• Honorable mention went to Cyndi LaMonde of Traverse City for a label on a letter opener that says: "Caution: Safety goggles recommended."
• Ann Marie Young of Fillmore, N.Y., took the second honorable mention for a warning she found which cautions users: "The Vanishing Fabric Marker should not be used as a writing instrument for signing checks or any legal documents."

Is it only a matter of time until warning labels must be put on products that offend Muslims? Just joking – or am I?

Storm Track Intimidation: Muslim Cajones – If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Sue 'Em

There are many reasons why one team beats another. Better players, better game tactics, even the loosing team having an off day.

This Muslim soccer team had an off day because …. The other team wore a cross on their uniform. Is there no limit to the stupidity of some Muslims? Hat tip to Vito Vaccaro.

"A Turkish lawyer has filed a complaint to Uefa after Inter wore a shirt with an offensive symbol, at least to Islamic culture, in their recent match against Fenerbahce.

A Turkish lawyer who's an expert on European law, Baris Kaska, is asking Uefa to cancel the three points Inter earned in their win against Fenerbahce in the recent Champions League match.

The Nerazzurri had beaten the Turkish champions 3-0 at home to qualify for the next round of the Champions League.

The reason for the appeal is unusual: the celebratory shirt for Inter's centenary worn by the team that night, and on several other occasions this season, offended many people in Turkey.

The shirt's scheme saw a big red cross on a white background, a symbol of the city of Milan, and reminded many of an emblem of the order of the Templars, which is considered offensive in Islamic culture.

Inter consciously did not wear their 'centenary shirt' in their first match against Fenerbahce in Istanbul, but at home, they did not think it was necessary to do the same.

However, the very sensitive Turkish media reacted bitterly and that led to the official appeal filed by Kaska, who announced this decision during an interview to Barcelona daily La Vanguardia."

If you can’t win fair and square and Allah has forsaken you, then play the offended victim card. Is it any wonder that Muslims are seen in state of perpetual arrested development?

Storm Track Intimidation: Are Libs Really Doing Muslims Any Good?

Cruising the Web one day looking for material, I ran across a post at the Daily Pundit which got me thinking. The blogger there doesn’t pull any punches and says it like it is about appeasing Muslims.

As we proceed further down the road of appeasing these goat-fellators, I fear we are sealing their fate, and in the end, the surviving remnant of “reformed (civilized) Islam” will be less than fifty percent of what Islam 1.0 was before the Reckoning.

Hmmm. That’s a different way of looking at the appeasement problem. In reality the more we appease them- the more you give into the whining child throwing a hissy fit – the more Muslims are actually doing themselves harm.

If the multiculturalist PC crowd really cared about the Imperialist West’s injustice to the poor distraught Muslims they would see that they aren’t doing them any favors bowing to each and very demand. In fact, it’s hurting their cause just as the anti-jihadists who blog on the problem see it so clearly.

Here’s the latest on Muslim appeasement.

The city museum of The Hague has decided not to include in an exhibition a work of art that may offend Muslims, it was reported on Monday.

The picture, made by Iranian artist Sooreh Hera, is entitled Adam and Ewald and shows two gay men wearing masks of the Muslim prophet Mohammed and his son-in-law Ali.

The Gemeentemuseum's director Wim van Krimpen told reporters the museum is interested in purchasing Hera's complete series, which he called "high quality works of art".

However, he added he will not exhibit Adam and Ewald in the next few years because "certain people in our society might perceive it as offensive".

Hera responded she was "disappointed" and added "apparently a Muslim minority decides what will be on display in the museum".

Get used to it Sooreh Hera. That’s life in the PC lane. But if you showed two men in the midst of a homosexual act wearing masks of Jesus Christ or Buddha or Moses, you’re work would be celebrated and critically acclaimed.

You’re not going to be famous stylizing Muslim characters in art – unless you want a fatwa put out you.

Storm Track Intimidation: Group Critical of Germany’s Stand Against Islam Minarets

If Europe goes Islamic, at least it might go down swinging. Chancellor Angela Merkel is a much better defender of German culture than her predecessor. Merkel and fellow conservatives in Bavaria have been speaking out about the appearance of minarets in Germany. Local residents are not happy over plans to build mosques in Berlin, Munich and Cologne.

A German Muslim group criticized Chancellor Angela Merkel on Thursday for suggesting that mosque minarets should not be higher than church steeples, saying it hoped this topic would not be used as a campaign issue.

Merkel, a Lutheran pastor's daughter who grew up in communist East Germany, told a congress of her conservative Christian Democrats that "we must take care that mosque cupolas are not built demonstratively higher than church steeples".

Local residents agree.

Mrs. Schandl, a 67-year-old Bavarian, is leading a fierce campaign to halt plans to build a mosque in a working-class district here. “It is a provocation,” she said of the mosque, which would sit across a graceful square from her Roman Catholic church — its minarets an exotic counterpoint to the church’s neo-baroque steeples. “The mosque doesn’t have anything to do with religion,” she said. “It is a power play.”

A vocal minority of residents has resisted, holding protest meetings, collecting signatures, and filing a petition with the Bavarian Parliament. “Bavarian life,” the petition declares, “is marked by the drinking of beer and the eating of pork. In Muslim faith, both are unclean and forbidden.”

And why would Muslims want to build a mosque next to a church?

For Onder Yildiz, a soft-spoken but intense leader of the Turkish community, the answer is simple: “A mosque next to a church helps intensify dialogue between the religions,” he said.

OK, dialogue. But why modify the word with ‘intensive’? What does he think is going to happen? It’s important to note how Muslims use words. Sometimes they convey more than what they seem to on the surface.

Like the word ‘innocent’. Here’s a personal experience as told by Robert Spencer. He was riding in a cab to some lecture he was doing years ago and saw that the cab driver was middle-eastern. He asked the driver if he was a Muslim. He said yes. Spencer asked why Muslim suicide bombers kill innocent people. The cab driver replied that it was against the Koran to kill innocent people – except if they’re Jews. To Muslims, the word innocent does not apply to everyone. There is a pecking order of innocence.

The American Indians had a saying. “Beware of those who speak with fork tongue.”

Winds of War: Just What Is Islam Concerned About?

We hear it over and over again to ad nauseam that Islam is the religion of peace and tolerance and it’s the evil western media that demonizes such a pure and innocent religion. That the media misunderstands what is said because we don’t understand the language or the words are taken out of context and they are really preaching love and peace.

Then MEMRI comes along and the Arab media is faced with the actual truth of their rhetoric perfectly translated. Their response? We better watch what we say.

It’s true! Listen to this Lebanese columnist at MEMRI actually admitting that they have something to hide.

And then, of course, there’s the tried and true strategy of shooting the messenger instead of fixing the problem.

Tariq Alhomayed, Editor-in-Chief of the Saudi daily Asharq Alawsat, wonders whether giving any publicity at all to terrorists only encourages them to keep up their destructive work. He notes that when formerly extremist thinkers change their minds and publish new thinking, the recidivists (particularly in London, he finds!) are ready to tear them down.

He proposes a difficult question. Is it possible to cover the news about terrorism without feeding the terrorists? I think it is, but it will require media—international as well as Arab—to pay more attention to the consequences of what they publish. instead, the media should take the time or space or ink to point out the flaws in extremist thinking, not just repeat what is being said in a benighted attempt at ‘balance and fairness’.

That’s Muslims. Blame everyone and everything except themselves.

By the way – where’s the ‘fair and balanced’ opposition in Saudi Arabia?
