Senate OKs Gitmo transfers to U.S.
The Washington Times ^ | 10/21/09 | Stephen Dinan

After dropping some popular immigration-enforcement measures, Congress on Tuesday passed the 2010 homeland security spending bill that gives President Obama the authority to transfer terrorism-suspect detainees to the United States for trial, though only after he submits a plan to Congress.

The Senate voted 79-19 to pass the $44.1 billion bill, following the House's approval last week. Mr. Obama is expected to sign it.

"It has been eight years, eight long years since the attacks of 9/11. There are some people in this country who have become complacent about the threat of another attack. Don't count me as one of them," said Sen. Robert C. Byrd, West Virginia Democrat and the lead Senate author of the bill.

Anyone else wondering if this is Obama's way of ensuring another attack on the U.S.? Funny how the bill is tied to important things like border security and extending e-verify....

They spend worse than drunken sailors! Where do they get this money? Oh, I forgot. They borrow it from our enemies or they just print more money.

We can do no worse with a bumbling, ignorant dog catcher than the career mutts that are in now.

The unknown amd inexperienced was what we looked for in a spouse ... use the same logic for politicians.

Radical Muslims celebrate Obama election - ‘look forward to working with the Obama administration’
November 5, 2008

http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/3696

Radical Muslims are lauding the election of Barack Hussein Obama. Siraj Wahhaj, an unindicted co conspirator in the 1993 WTC bombing case congratulated Obama writing that “We pray that Allah, Most High, will purify Obama’s heart, [and] guide his actions and policies...Furthermore, we encourage American Muslims to engage in forging an agenda and shaping the future of our society.”

Al - Hajj Talib Abdur Rashid (the “resident Imam” of the Mosque of the Islamic Brotherhood whose slogan comes from Muslim Brotherhood leader Hassan Al Banna- see below) wrote that :”All Muslims must come to understand the unique, prophetic role that black people , and the Muslims from amongst them, are yet destined to play in the destiny of the land, and its people... to forge a DOMESTIC agenda based upon common interests , which will serve both the present and future generations.”

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) a Saudi funded front group for Hamas, which is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial, stated that “We look forward to having the opportunity to work with the Obama administration”.

The Islamic Society of North America (also an un indicted co-conspirator in the HLF Hamas funding trial) wrote on their website that:”We at ISNA offer our full support to Mr. Obama and to his administration, and we look forward to working with him in the future”.

According to Dr. Daniel Pipes: The president of the Islamic Society of North America, Sayyid M. Syeed, told Muslims at a conference in Houston that whether Obama wins or loses, his candidacy will reinforce that Muslim children can “become the presidents of this country.” http://www.danielpipes.org/article/5845

Islamic Groups Named in Hamas Funding Case BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun
June 4, 2007
http://www.nysun.com/article/55778?access=284047

Federal prosecutors have named three prominent Islamic organizations in America as participants in an alleged criminal conspiracy to support a Palestinian Arab terrorist group, Hamas. Prosecutors applied the label of “unindicted co-conspirator” to the Council on American-Islamic Relations, the Islamic Society of North America, and the North American Islamic Trust in connection with a trial planned in Texas next month for five officials of a defunct charity, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development... A court filing by the government last week listed the three prominent groups among about 300 individuals or entities named as coconspirators. The document gave scant details, but prosecutors described CAIR as a present or past member of “the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood’s Palestine Committee and/or its organizations.” The government listed the Islamic Society of North America and the North American Islamic Trust as “entities who are and/or were members of the U.S. Muslim Brotherhood.”


MIM: A message from Siraj Wahhaj the Amir of MANA.

MANA Congratulates President-elect Barack Hussein Obama

The Muslim Alliance in North America congratulates President-elect Barack Hussein Obama on winning his bid for President of the United States of America. This election was historic in many ways and we know Muslims became actively involved.

We pray that Allah, Most High, will purify Obama’s heart, guide his actions and policies, and protect him and his family as he leads this nation. Furthermore, we encourage American Muslims to engage in forging an agenda and shaping the future of our society.

Let us all strive to be at the forefront of change in America—fighting for truth, justice and peace, and advocating for issues and policies that impact American Muslims and Muslims around the world, insha’Allah. I’m thankful to Allah that this striving is truly what drives the goals and initiatives at MANA.

May Allah, Most High, keep all of us rightly guided and obedient to His will.

Obama’s way of insuring another attack on our country exactly. What the hell, just bring the terrorists in to our country, saves them a plane ticket. ACLU attorneys get them off the hook, then they will be turned loose in our country. Then comes the “crisis”.
Be vigilent.

Obviously known the heart was impure at the time of writing, and Dagon is on his face.
