"Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faith, but to become dominant. The Qur'an should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on earth"
--Omar Ahmed, Chairman of the Board of CAIR (Council of American Islamic Relations), San Ramon Valley Herald, July 1998
...and then some!
I can't stop laughing!
We need that picture of the Paki protestor that set himself on fire trying to burn the american flag.
Do people know there are about 10 times as many attacks in this country on Jews as Muslims.
Actually, Musa lived across the street from me with his wife, 3 kids, multiple relatives - he died from his burns about 10 days ago and that is when we found out that they were Greek Orthodox.
Imagine that - Greek Orthodox from Jordan. WHat an odd combination. In any case, I did not know him particularly well, and in fact we only found out about the explosion and the rest of the story from the news hounds who tried to interview all of us neighbors about what we knew - which was abosolutely nothing.
I suspect that his wife, who seems like a nice enough person, had no knowledge of the plot. There is more to the story - Musa and his oldest son by a previous marriage, had owned two of these steak sub places which were descended from Great Steak places that used to be in the malls. One of them burned up - not sure how long ago - and it is a question whether that was an accident or not, or if he thought it was a great idea and thus planned the torching of the second restaurant.
All of this is speculation. The fellow arrested for being part of the plot, has now been charged with murder. One article says that he (an ex-employee of the restaurant) did the dousing earlier in the day and planned to return later with the match. That would mean that Musa and his son did not realize what would happen - or maybe just did not think. Probably no one will ever know the whole story.
The apparent truth is that Musa did set up the little rock-thru-window episodes, and tried to make it sound like a 'hate crime' which is when CAIR showed its ugly face, and gee they have been very quiet since all the rest of the story came out.
The restaurant was closer to Cincinnati than Dayton, and the arsonist was from Xenia, which is how that town got mentioned. Most of the articles have been in the Cincinnati papers, so I have only seen them second hand, and my version of what happened is not necessarily accurate. We live on the South side of Dayton, Ohio, in a small suburb called Miamisburg.
I am not faulting anyone's comments in this post, because believe me, some of us HAVE been mentioning Darwin quite often since we found out the entire story. The son is evidently alive, in a Cincinnati hospital that specializes in burn victims, but has not been able to talk to the police and I don't expect he will make a recovery, but who knows.
The story is an odd one, and trust CAIR to rush in and try to make something out of it. Sort of funny how it backfired and how silent they have become. And interesting that they were so quick to defend Christians - I wonder if they were aware of the religious affiliation? I would certainly like to ask them how stupid they feel now -
Imagine that - Greek Orthodox from Jordan. WHat an odd combination.
Its not that odd. Many Arabs are Orthodox. Musa is not an Orthodox name however, so his church name must have been something different.
Never trust a Muslim, NEVER!
