If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

Thanks for the ping. I'm shocked, I actually heard it on the radio this weekend.

This report should be forwarded to CAIR and the AMC.

Indeed, I've never seen so much hatred against Jews as I have in the past year or so. What happened? Because Bush is taking a hard stance against the Middle East, and "the enemy of my friend is my enemy"?

DUH ! The Muslims are good at crying and acting for the cameras of local channels controlled by BIG MEDIA.

The headline says 9 to 1. The article states "931 hate crimes committed against Jews in 2002, while 155 against Muslims" 931/155.is a 6 to 1 ratio almost ecactly.

See you did the math first! A-double-plus for you!

That's like telling Albert Speer in 1934 that good Jews loved the German nation that hosted them, and would have done anything they could to support its vitality if it hadn't turned on them instead.

CAIR and AMC are vectors of our impending downfall, defiling our committment to free speech and democracy. They would spit on these numbers and twist them around to show that Jews were behind attacks on themselves or some other such vile lie.

Pipes on CAIR and AMC:

1. CAIR: 'Moderate' friends of terror
2. Faces of American Islam -- "...American Muslim Council, the Council on American-Islamic Relations, and the Muslim Public Affairs Committee... all three organizations are Islamist and so seek to forward goals deeply at variance with mainstream American principles"
3. Senator Robert Torricelli and the AMC -- "The problem is that the American Muslim Council is not a legitimate group."

I forgot the sarcasm tag on that post. Talking to CAIR or the AMC is a waste of time. I'm hopeful that the FBI is working diligently to shut them down.

I'm hopeful that the FBI is working diligently to shut them down.

That I doubt. Freedom of association is sacred to us, even if we are at war the groups these people are advocating. But individual members of these groups are likely to be caught in corruption nets. Besides, their membership rosters are great places for starting investigations.

Anyway, I think it's more important that we appointed Pipes to the US Institute of Peace. In the marketplace of ideas, the President is leading by example: as a nation, we refuse to kowtow to Islamist organizations, all of whom had resisted his appointment because he was too direct in identifying their anti-semitic and anti-American core.

What I think we should be doing while we isolate the likes of CAIR, AMC, and so forth -- is to reduce the flow of Islamic immigrants. How can we tell which is which? There's no way.

First: it Stalin who used term "useful idiots". Second Zionism is more then just home land for jews, it is socialist movement sponsored in full in 1948 by Stalin and Communist International. Read up before posting.

I am writing to you about discrimination which has been expressed by the selective enforcement of city ordinances against me with respect to my rental business in Southern Indiana once city officials discovered that I am a Jewish person.

More about me: I was named to the “30 under 30” list by my alma mater and did my PhD work at Princeton Univ. under John Nash. I am a applied mathematician/ entrepreneur in my day job.

In the years since I completed my undergraduate work at IU in 1998, I proceeded to buy a small number of rental properties in Bloomington, Indiana, which I have successfully run as a side business for a number of years.

However, about 2-3 years ago, the normal flow of my side rental business ran into some serious roadblocks.

It started when two housing inspectors made a number of explicit anti-semitic statements to me and to a Jewish tenant at one of my rentals.

Soon thereafter, four (4) groups of my otherwise law-abiding and happy tenants were threatened with $10,000 + fine (assessed PER tenant) for alleged ordinance violations.

Long story short, I was soon stuck with numerous vacancies and left paying the mortgage payments on these properties which were subsequently burglarized and vandalized. At the same time, the Housing Department caused complaint inspections to take place at these properties, identifying dozens and dozens of “defects” in the properties not otherwise noted in previous move-in inspections and causing me to incur thousands of dollars of needless “improvements”.

And then the Legal Department went to work on me, filing at least five (5) lawsuits against me for alleged ordinance violations, and at the same time, the Legal Department Chief’s wife, over at Student Legal Services, encouraged my erstwhile tenants to sue me for recovery of their security deposits, in spite of their breaches. I was soon dealing with about ten lawsuits at once.

So in April 2007, I filed a lawsuit against the City of Bloomington for violating my right to equal protection of the law, and a number of other civil rights violations. For reasons unbeknownst to me, I have become of the despotism of city government in small town Indiana. My attorneys have recently discovered that my case is not unique. Another Jewish landlord also has a case pending in federal court against the City, regarding the improper withholding of a building permit based upon the impermissible consideration that the prospective buyer of the commercial property in question was a Jewish investor from New York.

My life has been turned upside down by the systematic abuse of ordinances and
judicial proceedings. I find it outrageous that such a negative spirit still thrives in modern America. I would love the opportunity to talk about my story on your show, as I think it is in the public interest.
