We are deeply honored to be able to present to you this study by a patriot, Warren Bonesteel.

CAIR, Liberal Democrats and Terrorism in North Carolina

by Warren "Bones" Bonesteel  Author and Researcher

The references and resources enclosed below are an introduction to the connections between left-wing political organizations, terrorist groups and supporters. These resources connect them to the American politicians they support and approve. The references and resources include PAC and 527 contributions and more. Much more... The evidence is irrefutable.

You can readily discern a "pattern" within just a few minutes examination of the resources enclosed. This pattern fits roughly one hundred and fifty liberal Democrats in both houses of Congress. Whether purposely or by accident, they support terrorism through the votes they cast in D.C. In the example below I used North Carolina politicians. You can do this with any state in the union.

On occasion you will also find a Republican politician who is also highly rated by CAIR and La Raza or PACs and 527s associated with them. They are the rare exception. The higher the rating by left-wing liberal and Muslim backed interest groups, the more likely the politician so rated is supporting - and being supported by - the people who are trying to kill us all and destroy America.

For the finishing touches, have your researcher(s) compare FEC Reports with the interest group ratings of the politician in question.

If you value your lives and the lives of your loved ones, if you value America, you will set aside the time to read the following.

Enclosures

1. List of North Carolina politicians who support CAIR and/or La Raza.

2. References and resources

        a.  CAIR connections to terrorism/La Raza connections to CAIR.
             (CAIR support in this example is based upon a yes or no vote for the Real ID Act.)

        c.  Project Vote Smart plus Immigration votes.
        d.   Democrat ethics violations.
        e.)  Militant Islam, etc.

        f.   Video references from MEMRI and others.
        g.  Definitions: Al-Taqiyya; Hudna.
        h.  Additional information.

NOTE about some resources: More than fifty-eight million Americans get news and info from the blogosphere. Of those, nearly thirty million Americans get *all* of their news and information from the blogosphere.

Prologue:

"Fight and slay the Unbelievers wherever ye find them. Seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem of war." Qur'an, Sura 9:5

-----------------------

Introduction: http://www.cryptome.org/cuw.htm  Unrestricted Warfare by Qiao Liang and Wang Xiangsui

==========================

NOTE:  The low ratings Virginia Ann Foxx has received from these groups is a good thing.
            The high ratings received by Mr. Etheridge is a bad thing.

============================

Definition: Al-Taqiyya. Definition: Hudna.

Next, you must know something about Al-Taqiyya and Hudna, which, in Islam are also terms used in politics as well as religion, especially seeing as how the two are intertwined in Muslim Majority Nations. Muslim Majority Nations is a topic worthy of further research.

============================

Definitions of Al-Taqiyya.

http://plancksconstant.org/blog1/2006/02/video_explains_it_all_altaqiyy.html

The word "al-Taqiyya" means: "Concealing or disguising one's beliefs, convictions, ideas, feelings, opinions, and strategies at a time of eminent danger to save oneself from physical or mental injury." A one-word translation would be "Dissimulation." In Arabic the translation would be "hypocrisy in the pursuit of a greater purpose."

This allows Denmark's most famous Imam, Ahmed Abdel Rahman Abu Laban, to forge cartoons if the purpose is to protect himself or other Muslims from slander, blasphemy, or threats of death. Sadly, this disclosure will have no affect on the rampaging Muslim world.

-----

and a definition of Hudna.

http://www.google.com/search?q=Hudna&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

GÇ£HudnaGÇ¥ was first used in 628, when the Prophet Mohammed entered into a peace-pact with the elders of Quraysh. This pact was supposed to last for 9 years, 9 months and 9 days.

Less than two years later, when MohammedGÇÖs troops had gathered enough strength, they violated their oath and attacked the Quraysh, defeating their enemy and conquering the city of Mecca.

and:

hudna: Honest Reporting has a good definition of the Arab/Muslim concept of hudna:

Hudna has a distinct meaning to Islamic fundamentalists, well-versed in their history: The prophet Mohammad struck a legendary, ten-year hudna with the Quraysh tribe that controlled Mecca in the seventh century. Over the following two years, Mohammad rearmed and took advantage of a minor Quraysh infraction to break the hudna and launch the full conquest of Mecca, the holiest city in Islam.

In essence, this is religious license to renege on ones word, and to regroup, rearm, and reorganize to attack when ones enemy is lulled into thinking that one will be honest and fulfill ones side of a truce. This is tactic has been used over and over in Islam's history, and is used to great effect today by Yasser Arafat, Hamas, al-Aqsa, and other Islamic terrorists all over the world. Recent examples include Fallujah and Najaf. What Westerners need to do is to read Islamic scripture and learn that in Islam there is no concept of permanent submission to any other power than God's.

Treaties mean nothing. Beware the hudna.

=======================

For a proper definition of Muslim Charity:

http://muhammadanism.org/Islam/Zakat_Terrorism.htm

Islamic Charity Organizations: Alms & Terrorism

As-Sadaq+ót (here it means Zak+ót) are only for the Fuqar+ó' (poor), and Al-Mas+ókin (the poor) and those employed to collect (the funds); and for to attract the hearts of those who have been inclined (towards Isl+óm); and to free the captives; and for those in debt; and for All+óh's Cause (i.e. for Muj+óhid++n - those fighting in the holy wars), and for the wayfarer (a traveller who is cut off from everything); a duty imposed by All+óh. And All+óh is All-Knower, All-Wise. Al-Tawba 9:60 and a list of said charities

In case you think the blogosphere isn't important:

http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060914/cgth042.html?.v=63

< snip >

"According to a recent study from the Pew Internet & American Life Project (July 19, 2006), 39 percent of Internet users (58 million American adults) read blogs, while about 12 million Americans keep a blog. The same study found that 58 percent of all Internet users look online for news or information about politics. "The blogosphere is a relevant force in American politics with a rapidly expanding, but often overwhelmed audience," said Bert Solivan, FOX News Senior Vice President of Digital Media. "In launching the FOX News and RealClearPolitics Opinion BuzzTracker site, we are now giving more online users easier and instant access to political stories and topics that are top of mind throughout the world."

According to the blog-tracking site Technorati, 1.6 million blog postings are made every day (18.6 postings per second) with 175,000 new blogs being created daily worldwide, further emphasizing the need for the BuzzTracker tool."

<snip >

========================

NOTE: Some resources claim that there are six million Muslims in America.  Most scholars state that as many as fifteen per cent of Muslims are militant fundamentalist extremists. More than six hundred thousand Muslims in America are potential terrorists and terrorist supporters.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us — if at all — not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death’s dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind’s singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.

Let me be no nearer
In death’s dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat’s coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer —

Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom

III

This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man’s hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

Is it like this
In death’s other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.

IV

The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death’s twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.

Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o’clock in the morning.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow

Life is very long

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow
For Thine is the Kingdom

For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats’ feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom
Remember us — if at all — not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.
