[O.C. - Old Cracker]

Lies, lies and more lies. Followers of Islam will lie to the infidel to further their own ends. Do not trust the Muslim.

[JollyMad]

Rockitz,

This condemnation of the beheading of Nick Berg by this Muslim group will do no good. Worthless and too late.

This has now become a religious war, unfortunately.

The Muslim world is about to see the strength of all
Christianity. On my own life, I swear it.

You heard it here, first.

They're becoming media savvy.

It's still a transparent lie.

GLOBAL JIHAD
Muslim spokesman pleads guilty to terrorism
Ex-staffer for CAIR, other groups, mobilized holy warriors in U.S.

Posted: April 14, 2004

A former spokesman for several Muslim lobby groups in the U.S. pleaded guilty to serving as the leader of a Virginia-based terrorist network that conspired to train on American soil for "violent jihad."

Randall Todd "Ismail" Royer – who most recently served as communications director for a fund-raising effort sponsored by the American Muslim Council – allegedly trained in Virginia for holy war against the United States and sent several members to Pakistan to join Lashkar-e-Taiba, a Kashmiri terrorist group with reported ties to al-Qaida.

A federal judge sentenced him Friday to 20 years in prison. In a plea bargain, Royer claimed he never intended to hurt anyone but admitted he organized the holy warriors after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S., according to the Center for Security Policy in Washington, D.C.

He was among nine men who either pleaded guilty or were convicted in connection to the charges. Two others were acquitted on all counts.

Royer, 31, of Falls Church, Va., also was on the national staff of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, a group that considers itself a leading civil rights voice for American Muslims.

Later, he was a spokesman for the National Liberty Fund, which is defending Sami al-Arian, the Florida professor in federal custody as an alleged leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

The National Liberty Fund says it is combating the Justice Department's "opportunistic and politically motivated prosecutions."

As WorldNetDaily reported, American Muslim Council founder Abdurahman Alamoudi was indicted last September for allegedly financing Islamist activity in Washington. He was arrested after arriving from a trip to the Middle East in which he allegedly tried to transport $340,000 from a group tied to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. A trial is set to begin June 1.

The Center for Security Policy notes that after his arrest last summer, Royer sought legal counsel from Hamas lawyer Stanley Cohen, who said after 9-11 he would consider serving as a defense lawyer for Osama bin Laden if the al-Qaida leader were captured.

The federal indictment against Royer, issued June 27, contends he traveled to Pakistan, engaged in propaganda work for Lashkar-e-Taiba and "fired at Indian positions in Kashmir." The charges also allege in September 2001, he "possessed in his automobile an AK-47-style rifle and 219 rounds of ammunition."

CAIR is a spin-off of the Islamic Association For Palestine, identified as a "front group" for Hamas by two ex-FBI counterterrorism chiefs.

Another CAIR figure, Bassem Khafagi, was arrested in January 2003 while serving as the group's director of community relations. The previous December, Ghassan Elashi, the founder of CAIR's Texas chapter, was indicted for financial ties to Hamas leader Musa Abu Marzook.

In a statement last month, CAIR strongly condemned Israel's killing of Hamas leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin without mentioning the cleric's affiliation or his responsibility for countless terrorist attacks against Israel, which were part of his stated objective to destroy the Jewish nation.

Last year, Royer characterized the allegations against him as baseless during an interview with the Washington Post. He dismissed the discovery of pistols and rifles inside the homes of some group members as insignificant.

"Ooooh, gosh, they have weapons," Royer said. "I really resent the idea that a Muslim with a gun – he's a threat. A Jew with a gun – he's not a threat."

This isn't a hoax?

Please forgive me for the interruption and for the typeface, but we need all FReepers, their friends, lovers, enemies, relatives, spouses, exes, acquaintances, strangers, debtors, creditors, colleagues, bosses and subordinates to sign The Federalist's petition to save Don Rumsfeld! There are currently 73,182 signatures, but we need at least 250,000, and ideally one million more.

Thank you!

We now return to the regularly scheduled, CAIR propaganda thread.

"Muslim institutions, schools and economic power should be strengthened in America. Those who stay in America should be open to society without melting, keeping Mosques open so anyone can come and learn about Islam. If you choose to live here, you have a responsibility to deliver the message of Islam ...... Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth." -Omar Ahmad

Yeah, I'm sure they mean it.

CAIR has this statement running on a loop.

[Uncle Miltie]

In September of 2001, just following the worst terrorist attack ever suffered in modern history, CAIR placed on its website, under a picture of the World Trade Center in flames, a plea for donations. It read, “Donate to the NY/DC Emergency Relief Fund.”

Yet, when people clicked on the link, it did not take them to any NY/DC Emergency Relief Fund. No, it took them straight to the website of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, an Islamic ‘charity’ that was soon to be shut down by the United States for “raising millions of dollars annually for HAMAS.”

"Mr. Bassem Khafagi, CAIR’s director of community relations was arrested in January, 2003 and Mr. Siraj Wahhaj, CAIR Advisory Board member was named as “one of the unindicted persons who may be alleged as co-conspirator” in the plot to blow up monuments in New York City several years ago. In addition, Mr. Ishan Elashyi (aka “Elashi”) has been arrested for continuing illegal sales of computer equipment to Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Jordan. He had previously been arrested for illegally shipping computer equipment to Libya and Syria, both well-known Islamist terror supporting nations. Why is Mr. Elashyi significant? His brother and fellow Infocom officer, Ghassan, is a principle founder of CAIR-Texas. In addition, brothers Bayan, Basman, and Hazim are also involved with Infocom- the web hosting company that is being investigated for hosting Islamist terrorism related web sites."

“The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today condemned the mutilation of those killed in Iraq on Wednesday. Four American civilian contractors were ambushed in their SUV's, burned, mutilated, dragged through the streets and then hung from a bridge spanning the Euphrates River”

Their press release condemns the mutilation but not the murder.
