N.Y. Muslim group held at border

Carloads of Muslim New Yorkers, all U.S. citizens, were detained for hours by federal agents after they returned from an Islamic convention held in Toronto over the weekend. A Pace University student said she was asked by a border patrol officer at the Lewiston-Queenston Bridge crossing whether the wire in her bra was a weapon. A white Flushing resident said U.S. officials refused to tell her why she was being held for eight hours.

"It's just appalling," said Jean Tassi, 53. "If I didn't have on a head covering, I would have never been stopped."

A U.S. Customs and Border Protection official said agents acted on intelligence that conventioneers may have terrorists in their cars.

"We understand that most of these conferences are legitimate, but it is our duty, it is incumbent on us to verify the identity of everybody entering the U.S. - even citizens," said Kristi Clemens, a Washington spokeswoman. "I understand their frustration."

More than 30 people had attended "Reviving the Islamic Spirit" convention at the Skydome that was billed as a spiritually uplifting event.

"I refuse to be treated like this in my own country," said Miriam Soliman, 20, a Brooklyn-born finance major who said she was interrogated about her underwire bra.

[Marine Inspector]

Ping.

I draw the line right here.

[marvlus]

How can we tell which Muslims are not threatening? Myself, I will look upon them suspiciously for a long time to come.

"I refuse to be treated like this in my own country," said Miriam Soliman, 20, a Brooklyn-born finance major who said she was interrogated about her underwire bra.

"...hands on the car beetch and give me that bra-bomb."

In point of fact, they can hold you or prevent your re-entry to the US for pretty much any reason, because you are not yet legally _in_ the US, just like any mail or phone conversations crossing the border can be snooped on at will, and your person and your luggage are subject to (warrentless) search.

More than 30? Wow! BTW, did they have seminars on the proper way to behead someone and bomb making 101?

" Here's what the Eyewitness News 4 Investigators uncovered. "It's a Muslim prayer blanket. It was found about a mile and a half west from the Douglas port of entry in 2001." Vance says, "Other log books, diary-type things, other bits and pieces of paper with Arabic written on them found in the area over the last few years. They pay to learn Spanish language skills, and by the time they reach the U.S., they're acting and talking like Mexicans to fool border agents."

FROM THE KORAN ITSELF...
"HEIL HITLER" Now Upgraded to "ALLAH AKBAR?"

You may already know about this one: O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. [al-Ma'idah 5:51.11]

But did you know that there are 123 verses in the Quran concerning fighting and killing for the cause of Allah? Here are but a few passages:

-Muslims are encouraged to be wholly occupied (Sura 2:273) with fighting for Allah's cause.

- Allah will give "a far richer recompense to those who fight for him" (Sura 4:96).

- Regarding infidels (unbelievers), they are the Muslim's "inveterate enemies" (Sura 4:101). Muslims are to "arrest them, besiege them and lie in ambush everywhere" (Sura 9:5) for them. They are to "seize them and put them to death wherever you find them, kill them wherever you find them, seek out the enemies of Islam relentlessly" (Sura 4:90). "Fight them until Islam reigns supreme" (Sura 2:193). "Cut off their heads, and cut off the tips of their fingers" (Sura 8:12).

- If a Muslim does not go to war, Allah will kill him (Sura 9:39). He is to be told, "the heat of war is fierce, but more fierce is the heat of Hell-fire" (Sura 9:81).

- A Muslim must "fight for the cause of Allah with the devotion due to him" (Sura 22:78)

- Muslims must make war on the infidels (unbelievers) who live around them (Sura 9:123).

- Muslims are to be "ruthless to unbelievers" (Sura 48:29).

- A Muslim should "enjoy the good things" he has gained by fighting (Sura 8:69).

- A Muslim can kill any person he wishes if it be a "just cause" (Sura 6:152).

- Allah loves those who "fight for his cause" (Sura 61:3).
Anyone who fights against Allah or renounces Islam in favor of another religion shall be "put to death or crucified or have their hands and feet cut off alternative sides" (Sura 5:34).

- Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him. Sahih Al-Bukhari (9:57)

- Slay the idolaters wherever you find them, and take them captives and besiege them and lie in wait for them in every ambush. (Koran 9:5)

- Take him and fetter him and expose him to hell fire. (Koran 69:30-37)

- I will instill terror into the hearts of the unbelievers, Smite ye above their necks and smite all their finger tips of them. (Koran 8:12)

- They should be murdered or crucified or their hands and their feet should be cut off on opposite sides. (Koran 5:33)

- Know that paradise is under the shades of swords. Sahih al-Bukhari Vol 4 p55

And Speaking of Paradise...

"There will be "gushing fountains" and everyone "shall recline on jeweled couches face to face, and there shall wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup of purest wine." Suras (or chapters) 55 and 56 of the Quran.

"Therein are bashful virgins whom neither man nor jinnee will have touched before ... virgins as fair as corals and rubies," sura 55. A few lines later, you might remind them of "virgins chaste and fair ... they shall recline on green cushions and fine carpets."

"The smallest reward for the people of Paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a.'"

It will be the day, God willing, you spend with the women of paradise...Know that the gardens of paradise are waiting for you in all their beauty, and the women of paradise are waiting, calling out, "Come hither, friend of God."

Urgent Terrorism Threat on Our Southern Border ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Why Alien Criminals Are At Large in the U.S.?

by Frosty Woolridge
September 17, 2004

"From October 1, 2003 to July 20, 2004, the border patrol’s Tucson sector stopped 9,051 person crossing illegal who had criminal records in the U.S., meaning they committed crimes here, returned to Mexico, then were trying to re-enter the country," Time magazine wrote. "A minimum of 378 had active warrants for their arrest."

Most go undetected.

"The numbers suggest that tens of thousands of criminals, quite possibly hundreds of thousands, treat the border as a revolving door to crimes of opportunity," Steele wrote. "The situation is so out of control that 400,000 illegal aliens who have been ordered deported, 80,000 have criminal records, but Homeland Security does not have a clue as to the whereabouts of any of them, including those from countries that support terrorism."...

Of 114 Iranians with final orders for removal, only 11 could be found and deported. Of 67 Sudanese with final removal orders, only one was deported. Of 46 Iraqis, only four were deported. The rest are free to move about the country.

Not mentioned in the report was the 20,000 member "18th Street Gang" made up of 60% illegal aliens in Los Angeles. It distributes drugs from Mexico, commits robberies daily, extorts businesses and engages in drive-by shootings. Along with them, the 8,000 member MS 13 Central American gangs operate in 28 cities. If anyone wonders why drugs are SO available to our kids, thank our Congress for not fulfilling its oath of office. Even more sobering, these alien criminals are protected in hundreds of cities across the United States by "Special Order 40" that allows them to remain in country without fear of arrest or deportation.

"Both parties and their candidates pay lip service to controlling the borders," Barlett wrote. "In the 99/11 commission’s final report, the panel took note of the immigration breakdown saying, "'Two systemic weaknesses came together in our border system's inability to contribute to an effective defense against 9/11 attacks: a lack of well developed counterterrorism measures as a part of border security and an immigration system not able to deliver on its basic commitments, much less support counterterrorism.'"

The TIME report rendered severe implications toward President Bush and members of Congress on both sides of the corridor. Citizens of the United States were not being served before 9/11 and today, they are JUST as vulnerable as 4,000 illegal aliens cross our borders daily. You have to wonder when Beslan, Russia's tragedy will visit an American school in the near future?

***Are American Arabs loyal?

[Mr. Mojo]

Carloads of Muslim New Yorkers .......returned from an Islamic convention .........More than 30 people had attended "Reviving the Islamic Spirit" convention

A whole 30 people? It appears as if everyone who attended this "convention" was in this particular caravan.

[Rodney King]

"If I didn't have on a head covering, I would have never been stopped."

If so, thats too bad. We should have stopped her even if she didn't have a head covering on.

[Ginifer]

Oh puleeeze....I've been held at border checkpoints, had my car inspected, etc. Did I whine...no, just let the inspectors do the job that we as taxpayers pay them to do.

"It's just appalling," said Jean Tassi, 53. "If I didn't have on a head covering, I would have never been stopped."

So wrong you are....happens to all people of all colors and ages. You want to be treated as an American...then go along with it like the rest of us. Better safe than sorry.

[Rodney King]

"I refuse to be treated like this in my own country,"

Then move.

[Edgerunner]

You were let go and ran crying to the press...What's the problem? You want a fast track into the US?

[atruelady]

Thank you for your post. Excellent reading!

Tell ya what Miriam, take the Cross Island Expressway to the Belt Parkway goin' South.... JFK is on the left...

Buh Bye

[b4its2late]

That story about Al Queda and Latin American/Mexican gangs..... That what is scary and makes total sense. Plus, people say why the Mexican border? Because it is so porous.

[netmilsmom]

You are correct!
My niece and I did a run over the bridge to Canada in Detroit to buy some candy (truly, Canadian Chocolate is yummy). We decided to take the car that she had borrowed from a friend who sells cell phones. We were unaware that he had his inventory stored in the trunk.
We went to Zellers and bought about 50.00 worth of candy for her to take back to Cleveland, got gas and headed back. The border patrol asked if we had anything to declare. We said chocolate. The guy looked at us like we were criminals. (who drives across the border with Ohio licence plates to buy chocolate???) He asked us to pop the trunk. WELL! we were detained for about 2 hours while they tried to contact the owner of the car. Finally, he verified that he worked for this company and it was his car. He had to call HIS boss to verify the fact as well.
I should have taken my soccermom van and we would have been fine.

[bill1952]

Well when she was detained she was not yet legally *in* this country, so she can...never mind.

[F16Fighter]
