"THE BRIEF LIFE AND EXQUISITE MARTYRDOM OF A HAMAS MORTAR CREW" Snippet: "Via Hamas' al-Aqsa TV station, said to be filmed in Jabaliya on 06 January 2008. At about 1'15" the crew is hit by an apparent Israeli counter-strike."

In-freaking-credible!!! The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), "child" of the Muslim Brotherhood, fundraiser of Hamas, and un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Terror trial had the Gall to ask SOS Rice to Help American Children Trapped in Gaza. Now that's CHUTZPAH. Maybe these terrorist fundraisers could take a look at these videos and learn what the money they give to Hamas does. The BEST way to help children in Gaza is to have Hamas STOP USING KIDS AS HUMAN SHIELDS (see the videos below). Maybe they could even have their terrorist brothers use the money they raise for helping kids...

Nine Muslim passengers were kicked off a flight from Washington, D.C., to Florida after other passengers reported hearing a suspicious remark about airplane security. AirTran Airways spokesman Tad Hutcheson called the incident on the New Year's Day flight from Reagan National Airport to Orlando, Fla., a misunderstanding, but defended the company's response. He said the airline followed federal rules and did nothing wrong. One of the Muslim passengers, Kashif Irfan, told The Washington Post the confusion began when his brother was talking about the safest place to sit on an airplane. "My brother and his wife were discussing some aspect...

Another successful shakedown..... The Minnesota chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MN) today welcomed an apology from a Long John Silver's restaurant in that state that distributed religious literature in children's meals. In November, a Muslim family visited the Long John Silver's at the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minn., and ordered a children's meal for their three-year-old son. The Muslim parents noticed that the toy that came with the meal was a small notepad with the phrase "Build with Jesus" written at the top along with a quote from the Bible. Following intervention by CAIR-MN, the restaurant investigated...

WASHINGTON: As Israel kept up its string of attacks on Gaza for a fourth day that has killed hundreds and injured hundreds more through air attacks, US President George W. Bush leaned on Palestinian leaders to urge Hamas to stop firing rockets into Israel. Israel has said it will not cease its assault until Hamas stops firing missiles into its territory. White House spokesman Gordon Johndroe said yesterday in Crawford, Texas that Bush telephoned Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad to discuss a “sustainable cease-fire” in the Gaza Strip. “They agreed that for any cease-fire to be...

Those jokers at the Terrorist funding group CAIR are at it again. Today it was CAIR executive director Nihad Awad leading the charge. Awad read a statement that called on the Bush administration to take concrete actions to restore the flow of humanitarian aid to the civilian population in the Gaza Strip and to help reinstate the cease-fire that an Israeli newspaper admits was "unilaterally violated" by Israel (see video below) Unilaterally violated? Sure Mr Awad. ISRAEL'S ONLY VIOLATION WAS BEING ON THE RECEIVING END OF OVER 700 ROCKETS IN THE PAST WEEK. Did you read about it? It was...

For a second straight day, Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip took a much-needed pounding from Israeli forces. The terrorist organization's main security compound was among the marks that took a heavy beating from Israeli war planes.The campaign by Israel is retaliatory - a more-than-appropriate response to daily rocket and mortar attacks launched by Palestinian "militants" after a truce between the two sides expired last week.To no one's great surprise, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) condemned the Israeli operation.Their statement, in part, read: "Despite the public 'green light' given to the Israeli military by the Bush administration, American Muslims...

Obama has been awfully quiet and I am glad. CAIR thinks he is weak and can be intimidated into aligning himself with the jihad. This is the line in the sand is it not? You can run, you can hide ...... but at some point you must choose between good and evil. CAIR uses Orwellian terms like peace and justice. Show me one Islamic country that traffics in peace and justice. CAIR Condemns Israeli 'Massacre' in Gaza Obama urged to speak 'in favor of peace and justice for all parties' (WASHINGTON, D.C., 12/27/08) - A prominent national Islamic civil rights...

The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) said in a statement: "Despite the public 'green light' given to the Israeli military by the Bush administration, American Muslims join our fellow citizens who respect international law and the sanctity of human life in repudiating this massacre carried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons. Bush didn't give Israel a green light. Israel practically BEGGED Hamas to maintain the supposed cease fire. Funny how they forget to mention that fewer bombs have been dropped by Israel in this conflict than Hamas has rockets/mortars sent from Gaza to Israel since the "cease-fire" began in June...

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy group today condemned Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip that left more than 200 people dead and called the death toll a "massacre carried out using U.S. taxpayer-funded weapons." More than 700 people, including women and children, were injured in the attacks.

A lot of blog comments have used words like "hypersensitive" to describe the family and CAIR-MN's complaint. That may be a valid description, but then the term should apply equally to Bill O'Reilly's tirades against the "war on Christmas" and to Focus on the Family's angry response when stores remove the phrase "Merry Christmas" from their holiday publicity. And Muslims may have a bit more reason to feel defensive. Sean Hannity's website is polling its readers about the Mall of America case, asking, "Does CAIR have a valid complaint?" One of the multiple-choice options is "ala akBARF," a rude reference...

Ahmed Bedier is recognized by the Tampa Government as a "protector of human rights. Which means that Tampa is either blind or has a strange definition of "human right." Bedier, the former head of CAIR in Tampa has a long history of supporting terrorism. For example when two Muslim college students, Youseff Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed, were found with pipe bombs one of whom has admitted to making a video about how to use remote-controlled bombs against American soldiers), Bedier claimed that the pipe bomb material was just fireworks and said, “Both of them are really naïve kids.” On a...

This bombshell was provided by DC attorney David Yerushalmi who recently brought a RICO lawsuit against the organization [see, BREAKING - CAIR Hit With RICO Lawsuit - Alleging That Islamist Organization Operates As A Criminal Enterprise]. During preparation for the lawsuit, Yerushalmi discovered that CAIR DC lost its corporate charter in September 2008...

The Ft Dix terrorists were caught because they were trying to make a DVD from a tape about Jihad, one of the plotters was taped by the FBI as saying, "In the end, when it comes to defending your religion, when someone attacks your religion, your way of life, then you go jihad. Today their own pictures and their own words helped to convict them of conspiracy. And as expected Muslim Groups such as CAIR cried entrapment:

The Minnesota chapter of the Council on America-Islamic Relations is calling for an investigation into a complaint made against the Long John Silver's restaurant in Mall of America. CAIR-MN wants the restaurants parent company, Yum! Brands, to look into claims that religious literature was distributed with a children's meal. According to CAIR-MN, a Muslim family visited the restaurant in November and ordered a children's meal for their three-year-old son. The toy that came with the meal was a notepad that featured a quote from the Bible. The family requested an alternative toy, but said only notepads with Bible versus were...

A Muslim family eating in a Long John Silver's restaurant in the Mall of America is upset because their child's meal came with a toy that had "Build with Jesus" written on it. As usual CAIR has gotten involved. They want the restaurant to give the family a written apology, make sure that this never happens again and have representatives of the chain participate in CAIR's sensitivity and diversity training. By diversity do they mean this?

The Long John Silver's in the Mall of America, had a toy in its Kids Meal that included a Bible Phrase and the not "Build with Jesus" written at the top. Last month a Muslim Family went to the restaurant and became outraged when they did not have any toys without the quote, so they complained to the Terrorist Support Group CAIR who called for a Probe of the company's toy distribution policy (Long John Silvers is owned by Yum! Brand who also owns KFC Taco Bell, Pizza Hut and A&W All-American Food). The full story is below:

DOUGLASVILLE, Ga. - A judge ordered a Muslim woman arrested Tuesday for contempt of court for refusing to take off her head scarf at a security checkpoint. The judge ordered Lisa Valentine, 40, to serve 10 days in jail, said police in Douglasville, a city of about 20,000 people on Atlanta's west suburban outskirts. Valentine violated a court policy that prohibits people from wearing any headgear in court, police said. The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations urged federal authorities to investigate the incident as well as others in Georgia. "I just felt stripped of my civil, my human rights," Valentine...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on the U.S. Department of Justice to investigate a series of incidents in which Muslim women in Georgia were prevented from entering courtrooms because they were wearing Islamic headscarves, or hijabs. In the most recent incident, a Muslim woman was jailed today following a dispute over whether she could enter the courtroom while wearing her hijab.According to the woman’s husband, she was seeking to enter the courtroom in Douglasville, Ga., to deal with a matter related to a nephew’s traffic citation. After she walked through the security area, a bailiff allegedly told...

The Terrorist Supporting Organization known as CAIR Tried to Intimidate a Small Long Island Jewish Newspaper over the weekend by sending out a press release asking Jewish Leadership to condemn an article about fighting Islamofacist Terrorism. The writer finished with a summary that compared Muslim and Jewish Law. "Moreover, the only way to deal with Islamic terrorists is the same way in which they deal with their victims. Muslims believe in the literal interpretation of the Biblical doctrine of an eye for an eye, and they do not have respect for anything perceived as a lesser standard of justice. They...

Barack Obama’s election with the middle name Hussein (invoked to rile Republican crowds during the presidential campaign) should inspire Muslims to pursue public service and other work, even if they speak with accents or their names are perceived as foreign-sounding, U.S. Rep. Keith Ellison told the recent annual meeting of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). Ellison, the first Muslim member of Congress, followed up on CAIR Executive Director Nihad Awad’s plea for Obama to hire Muslims to federal posts by urging American Muslims to apply for some of the administration’s 8,000 job openings.

Toledo, Ohio native Zak Reed is tired of being stopped and detained at the Canadian border every time he tries to drive home. "I don't feel very welcome in my home at all," Reed tells CBS News. "In fact, I feel like I am not wanted in my country any more." Last month, for the ninth time in the past year, Reed was held in custody during a routine border crossing across Detroit's Ambassador Bridge, en route to Toledo, about an hour from there. The procedure has become a familiar drill for Reed. "They swipe the passport, they double take...

The American Civil Liberties Union has teamed-up with terrorist Co-conspirator CAIR to setup a hot line and internet relay for people who believe they are being racially profiled, having their computer's seized illegally and to conduct general oversight of the FBI. Maybe its just me, but if anybody should have oversight its not the people of the FBI who are working to protect our butts from being blasted into tiny pieces, but its any organization that links with CAIR of whom it has been proven has close ties to terrorists.

Tampa Mayor Honors Extremism   By Joe KaufmanFrontPageMagazine.com | Thursday, December 04, 2008 In April of 2007, Pam Iorio was sworn into office for her second term as Mayor of Tampa Bay, Florida, given the confidence of Tampa’s citizens that she will help protect them from harm. Yet every year for at least the last four years of the six-plus years she has served, Mayor Iorio has honored CAIR, a radical Muslim organization, with a Proclamation naming a day for the group. Is the Mayor just trying to placate a fringe constituency or has she submitted to terror? Tampa...

The Hate Bus   By Joe KaufmanFrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, December 08, 2008 CAIR and ICNA, two groups with documented ties to extremist groups overseas, have happened upon a new ploy to bring “non-believers” to Islam. The groups are using public transportation – subways and buses – to advertise their message. However, that message is one that is highly offensive and demeaning to those of other faiths, as it promotes Islam as a religion of superiority and spreads false information about revered Christian and Jewish figures. CAIR or the Council on American-Islamic Relations was built out of Hamas. It was...

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) on Wednesday called on American Muslims to thank the Fox television network and the creator of "The Simpsons" for a recent episode that used comedy to challenge Islamophobia. The episode, which aired Sunday evening and is titled "Mypods and Boomsticks," highlights anti-Muslim sentiment by featuring a young Muslim character named Bashir and his family who face prejudice after moving to Springfield. In the program, Homer Simpson wrongly suspects that Bashir's family is involved in a terrorist plot. Bart Simpson befriends Bashir and defends him from bullies. CAIR's Greater Los Angeles Area office (CAIR-LA) sent...

The story has time for the detail that CAIR calls Jihad Watch an "Internet hate site," but no time to tell readers that CAIR itself is an unindicted co-conspirator in a jihad terror funding case, with several of its officials convicted on various jihad terror-related offenses. No time to include the fact that its cofounder and longtime Board Chairman has said: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." No time...

Radical Islam is subverting America without guns or bombs. That's the subtitle of a frightening and important new book by Robert Spencer, one of the leading authorities on radical Islam. We may have been spared the guns and bombs of the Islamofascist terrorists since 9/11, but we haven't been spared their attempt to substitute the laws of Islam for the U.S. Constitution and to make America more like Iran, Saudia Arabia, or the Sudan, where the Muslim laws are in full force. Mr. Spencer is an important voice of these matters, and if you think this is too shocking to...

December 01, 2008, 9:30 a.m. Bad CAIR DayShutting down an engine for stealth jihad. By Frank J. Gaffney Jr. The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) had a rough 24 hours earlier this week. Given the organization’s ties to the seditious Muslim Brotherhood and specifically its role in advancing the stealth jihad used to insinuate into this country the totalitarian program authoritative Islam calls “sharia,� though, any bad CAIR day is a good day for America. The problems for CAIR started a week ago Sunday night when its co-founder and executive director, Nihad Awad, was served with a court...

Terrorism expert Steve Emerson says there's no hope of victory in the war on terrorism until we call it what it really is. This past Saturday, the New York Times ran an op-ed piece entitled "What They Hate about Mumbai," focusing specifically on the free market sins of that great city. With contrived evenhandedness, the op-ed managed to blame both Hindus and Muslim extremists—without blaming either party in particular for the murderous attacks. Without realizing it, the Grey Lady had hit upon a great travel series. In the best spirit of jihad for dummies, why not a year's worth of...

It's for our own good And it will be an Orwellian Police State, too: Thoughtcrime is already subject to ostracism and vilification, and what with the UN ready to codify it, and Obama signaling that he wants to increase the importance and influence of the UN, how long will it stay out of the U.S.? And why is this necessary? Primarily "to help state and local officials respond to a nuclear terrorist attack." Of course, to call the Muslim community in America to account and compel it to stop teaching Sharia supremacism and hatred of Jews and Christians -- that...

Beethoven: Revealing His True Identity   In the 15th and 16th century, written history underwent a massive campaign of misinformation and deception. With the European slave trade in full swing, Afrikans were transported to various parts of the world and were stripped of every aspect of their humanity, and in most of western civilization, were no longer considered human. This triggered a wholesale interpretation of history that methodically excluded Afrikans from any respectful mention, other than a legacy of slavery. This can result in being taught, or socialized, from one perspective. In this instance, historical information tends to flow strictly...

US Muslim outfit cautions India over retaliation By Khalid Hasan WASHINGTON: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) – the largest Muslim rights group in the US and Canada – while condemning the Mumbai terrorist attacks asked the Indian government to protect its citizens from the type of retaliatory attacks that have followed similar incidents in the past.
