Silent No More: Confronting America's False Images of Islam
From the author of the bestselling, They Dare to Speak Out, former congressman Paul Findley presents the remarkable progress of the Muslim community in the American mainstream. Silent No More: Confronting America's False Images of Islam, chronicles Findley's far flung trail of discovery, the false stereotypes of Islam that linger in the minds of the American people and the corrective actions that the leaders of America's seven million Muslims are undertaking. Prominent personalities are featured including Congressman David Bonior, Boxer Muhammad Ali, Noble Prize Winner Ahmed Zewail, CAIR's Nihad Awad and many others. A congressman for 22 years, Findley's admiration for Muslims and Islamic principles shines, as he prescribes a course for the community's progress.
American presidents who are willing to use their military power leave the world in better condition.
Let the enemies of America tremble!!
BBI proudly introduces the latest issue in its Elite Force series of authentic military 12- inch figures, President George W. Bush in naval aviator flight uniform. Exacting in detail and fully equipped with authentic gear, this limited-edition action figure is a meticulous 1:6 scale recreation of the Commander-in-Chief's appearance during his historic Aircraft Carrier landing. On May 1, 2003, President Bush landed on the USS Abraham Lincoln (CVN-72) in the Pacific Ocean, and officially declared the end to major combat in Iraq. While at the controls of an S-3B Viking aircraft from the "Blue Sea Wolves" of Sea Control Squadron Three Five (VS-35), designated "Navy 1," he overflew the carrier before handing it over to the pilot for landing. Attired in full naval aviator flight equipment, the President then took the salute on the deck of the carrier.

I've never heard of this publication but if it's amything like the St. Louis Riverfront Times, it's a hard-left Marxist rag full of Republicans-are-evil, God-is-dead, alternative lifestyle crap and personal advertisements for homosexuals who want bugger each other.
The one thing I've learned about living in Illinois is that most of the so-called Republicans in this state are more liberal than the Rats.
These "free alternative" rags tend to be leftist fishwrap.
Good!
That says all I need to know about the esteemed former Congressman.

Abdurahman Alamoudi has been a true friend of the Clinton Administration, sometimes receiving strong criticism for it. He is among those who have chosen to believe that the Clinton-Gore Administration has been good for Muslims in America. I am among those who strongly disagree; it's been my conviction that Clinton-Gore has been one of the most disastrous administrations for Muslims in recent memory. This reality can be deduced from yet another reality: the State of Israel, along with its American lobby, consider the Clinton-Gore Administration to be the "best friend" they have ever had in the White House.

McKinney Donors Support Terrorists Rep. Cynthia McKinney, D-Ga., received $1,000 from Abdurahman Alamoudi, the founder and former executive director of American Muslim Council. Alamoudi's contribution is one of 45 McKinney received during the 1999-2000 election cycle that did not list the occupation of the donor as required by the FEC. Those donations totaled $24,000. "I have been labeled by the media in New York as being a supporter of Hamas. Any supporters of Hamas here?" Alamoudi asked, to cheers from the crowd at an October 2000 White House protest of U.S. policies in the Middle East. 'We Are All Supporters of Hamas' "Hear that, Bill Clinton? We are all supporters of Hamas ... I wish they added that I am also a supporter of Hezbollah." Hezbollah and Hamas are on the State Department's official list of terrorist organizations. McKinney received another $1,000 from Aly Abuzaakouk, who listed his employer as American Muslim Council, and $500 from Nihad Hammad, who lists Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) as his workplace. The data was compiled by Center for Responsive Politics on its Web site www.opensecrets.org. Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR's communications director, would not condemn Osama bin Laden's involvement in the Sept. 11 terrorist assault in an interview with Salon shortly after the attacks. Other CAIR officials and board members have blamed Israeli and Egyptian intelligence officials for the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White said in a November 2001 interview with the New Republic that one former CAIR board member was a "possible conspirator" in the 1993 bombing. 'Demand to Know Her Ties' Phil Kent, president of Southeastern Legal Foundation (SLF), says McKinney is "completely undermining" the U.S. war against terrorism. "I think it's incumbent upon all of us to demand to know her ties with people like Alamoudi," Kent said. "If she had any shred of integrity, which I don't think she has, she'd repudiate these people," he added. On April 12, Kent wrote Rep. Joel Hefley, R-Colo., chairman of the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, and Rep. Howard Berman, D-Calif., the ranking Democrat on the committee, requesting formal sanctions against McKinney for her comments during an interview with a radio station in Berkeley, Calif. "We believe that her statements warrant an investigation by the House Committee on Standards of Official Conduct, specifically, that her statements appear to violate Rule 43 of the Code of Official Conduct, Rules of the House of Representatives, Adopted by 105th Congress, namely, 'a member, officer, or employee of the House of Representatives shall conduct himself at all times in a manner which shall reflect creditably on the House of Representatives,'" Kent wrote on behalf of SLF. During the interview, McKinney called for an investigation into whether President Bush and other government officials had advance notice of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. "We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11th," McKinney claimed. "What did this administration know and when did it know it, about the events of September 11th? Who else knew, and why did they not warn the innocent people of New York who were needlessly murdered? What do they have to hide? "Persons close to this administration are poised to make huge profits off America's new war," she charged. After being confronted by the media, McKinney issued a statement "clarifying" her remarks. 'I Am Not Aware' "I am not aware of any evidence showing that President Bush or members of his administration have personally profited from the attacks of 9-11," she said. "A complete investigation might reveal that to be the case." SLF called McKinney's comments "shameful ... unethical and dangerous." "For perceived political gain, McKinney has dishonored the U.S. House and her constituents by alleging high treason, and has undermined the sense of the U.S. House in its clearly stated efforts to support and defend the actions of this government in its prosecution of the war on terrorism," Kent wrote. Under Investigation for Breaking Election Law In addition to any action the House might take against her, McKinney is under investigation for at least six counts of alleged election law violations stemming from her purported activities in a voting precinct in DeKalb County, Ga., on Election Day 2000. An administrative law judge will hear charges that McKinney "invaded" a polling place during polling hours, harassed and intimated poll watchers, and directly solicited votes while there. The Georgia State Board of Elections has voted unanimously twice to recommend action by the state on all six counts. Kent doubts McKinney will acknowledge any wrongdoing in accepting donations from supporters of terrorist organizations. "I'm wondering if she's going to give the money back," he asked rhetorically. "But I know she won't." McKinney's office did not respond to multiple requests for interviews about the allegations in this story.
