A group of American Muslims produced a video that shows its members on a city street corner declaring Islam's dominance over America as they tred on a U.S. flag and then rip it apart.
In the video, released by the New York-based Islamic Thinkers Society, one of the Muslims is shown placing a sign on the flag that says, "Oh Muslims! Do you know your enemy? Isn't it obvious?"
Author and researcher Robert Spencer, who posted the video on his weblog Jihad Watch, commented that Muslim lobby groups such as the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations have helped foster an environment that discourages criticism of such actions.
"... [I]f we even ask how many Muslims in America think this way, CAIR will bellow about discrimination and Islamophobia," Spencer writes. "So attention is diverted from activities such as what is shown in this video, and they can continue unheeded."
The Islamic Thinkers Society is an off-shoot of Al-Muhajiroun, a British jihadist group that publicly raised funds for Hamas and has been suspected of facilitating transportation of British Muslims to fight U.S. troops overseas.
Al-Muhajiroun spiritual leader Sheik Omar Bakri Muhammad has called on the British Muslim community to join Hamas.
Under pressure from UK authorities, Al-Muhajiroun claimed it disbanded in October, but security sources say leaders still are active in London and the U.S.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Al-Muhajiroun openly maintains a branch in Queens that claims to be involved in "only peaceful activities." The group holds closed-door meetings and study sessions at a mosque in Jackson Heights, Queens, led by an older cleric identified as Sheikh Choudray.
The Queens branch youth leader, Abu Yousuf, a U.S. citizen who says he attended a "camp" in Sudan and takes computer courses at the City University of New York, speaks at university events throughout New York City usually sponsored by the Muslim Student Association.
At one Al-Muhajiroun event at Queensborough Community College sponsored by the MSA and attended by WND, a Muhajiroun speaker working with Yousuf said, "We reject the U.N., reject America, reject all law and order. Don't lobby Congress or protest because we don't recognize Congress! The only relationship you should have with America is to topple it!"
The speaker continued, "The so-called terrorists are the only people who truly fear Allah. ... They are the only worthy causes, and the mighty superpower only fears them."
In a private interview with WND, a Queens based Al-Muhajiroun leader said he would be "absolutely honored" to give up his life in a "martyr operation" against American civilians. The leader warned that "a jihad is coming to America because of the moves of the Bush administration."
Last year, Al-Muhajiroun planned a convention in London titled, "The Choice is in Your Hands: Either You're with the Muslims or with the Infidels," to mark the third anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
In 2003, the group had planned a similar anniversary event called "The Magnificent 19 [Suicide Attackers]," but canceled it at the last minute.
Where are these people from? We should send them back. But that would be too obvious and simple, wouldn't it.
Shouldn't these people be arrested under some provision of the Patriot Act? If they aren't guilty of SOMETHING under that Act, then what the hell good does it do to have it at all?
I'm going to go kill me some white, Christian patriots...
/sarcasm (as if needed)
Why those...!!! I am going to go out and start a protest riot in which a bunch of fellow Americans get killed.
That will show them!!!
Let's riot.
Well.... on 2nd thought, let's not.
The Progressive Dems have paved the way for this "Tolerance and Diversity" and will be held accountable by the American People!!
Just makes me wonder if these bacon-eating sub-humans deserve to even exist...
I love those accidental immolation pics. :)
Wish someone make a video showing Americans trampling, skewering, urinating on the Koran and show it on the Net with a title something like "How we respect the religion of war".
Won't even be mentioned by the America-hating leftwing media between stories about alleged desecration of the Koran at Gitmo.
Howard Dean?...is that you?
Gimme a koran, my bladder is full.
According to the liberals, and apparently Amnesty International, it's okay when they do it but not when we do. It's just another example of liberal racism-the expectation for behavior of 'people of color' is always lower.
We need the actual video footage.....
Was that from the story or is that an oldy but goody? Seeing the perp on fire always puts a smile on my face.
When can we open fire?
