"'Briton' in 'Arkansas' May have been killed by Snake"

He had a box of snakes with him. This made me think of the box of snakes left by the Clinton library.

BTT.

[Velveeta]

I believe it's the same box of snakes. Found near the Clinton Library.

I missed this. Did you all see it?

Call to prayer is unsettling in Hamtramck

HAMTRAMCK — A controversial noise ordinance allowing a mosque to broadcast daily Islamic calls to prayer over loud speakers is set to go into effect Wednesday.

But it probably won’t go into effect because of a petition protesting the ordinance.

But it probably won’t matter because the mosque plans to broadcast the calls to prayer anyway.

Confused? The Hamtramck City Council will try to sort through the mess Tuesday in the latest round of what is becoming a lesson in democracy, freedom of speech and freedom of religion. (snip)

(snip)Masud Kahn, the associate imam of the mosque, said the mosque will begin the calls to prayer Friday, as planned, no matter what happens with the petition and the council.

Kahn and council President Karen Majewski say the mosque didn’t need the city’s permission to broadcast the calls to prayer in the first place.

Because the mosque is a religious institution and because it is broadcasting from its own property, the city has no control over the calls to prayer beyond regulations contained in the noise ordinance. (snip)

$15 billion for a tracking system that won't catch any of the invaders coming across the Mexican border all day, everyday. It only addresses people trying to do it "right" with applications for a visa to travel. This is every bit as stupid as "gun control" laws. The criminals don't play by the rules. They are not going to get caught. It is another boondoggle. Another taxpayer funded "jobs" program for unionized federal employees.

Thanks. That's the impression I got also.

It isn't a translation error if they believe the interpretation

Perhaps I missed the point of your original statement? I understood you to throw out the fact that there were multiple translations of Quran, every Imaam has a different one, some preach a violent "interpretation," and that you have seen no versions that justify sharia law.

Question. What is your point? I want to be sure I am not hearing something between the lines here that you are not saying.

"Just got off the phone with my business partner.

He uses the Day Care facities at the Fort Monmouth Community Center in NJ.

His child, along with 1/3 of the entire class, are home today with Foot and Mouth Disease!

Nothing in the news or Health Department warnings yet"




Are you sure that wasn't Fifth's disease? That is a common daycare virus as is the cocksakie virus.

The other would undoubtly bring in the CDC for Foot and Mouth disease, that is more rare and not indigeneous to the US I think. Can anyone confirm?

Sheesh. FYI the islamofascists at work are continuing their uncharacteristic aloofness. Quiet, no smiles, no excess talk, no fraternizing. It is different. I think they all know something is coming. Nope...no moderate islamofascists...

Words to live (or die) by...

[Calpernia]

Same? I thought this one said it was near the airport?

I will go back and reread.

[Calpernia]

The Shariah law was my opinion.

[Calpernia]

This is what the daycare center has: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1136902/posts?page=2205#2205

Yup, sometimes it is hard to figure out the arabic names and if an article is about the person you are thinking of. The one I posted about, Hassan Abbasi, needs to study his history a bit more. He may have the "titles and credentials" but in the article he refers to the Durban conference and exiting from the KYOTO treaty after 9/11. Duh, they were both before 9/11. Unfortunately, it doesn't take common sense or moderate intelligence to be a terrorist.

[null and void]

You know America is not mentioned in the bible.

Perhaps

Deuteronomy 28:49
The LORD will bring a nation against you from far away, from the ends of the earth, like an eagle swooping down, a nation whose language you will not understand...

Eagle. Hmmmmm...

U.S. Announces It Intends to Move Tons of Uranium From Baghdad
NY Times ^ | May 22, 2004 | JAMES GLANZ

IENNA, May 21 — The United States has informed an international agency that oversees nuclear materials that it intends to move hundreds of tons of uranium from a sealed repository south of Baghdad to a more secure place outside Iraq, Western diplomats close to the agency say.

But the organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency, has taken the position that the uranium is Iraqi property and that the agency cannot give permission to remove it, a diplomat said. The diplomat said that the United States was unlikely to be deterred by that position and that American officials had contacted the agency on the matter this year, before the Iraq insurgency flared last month.

Not just kidnapping - entertainers are listed among those on the list of targets.

[Oorang]

Wow, when you said another microbiologist, this time killed by a masked gunman I had to google. The person you posted about, Hassan Bass, is a unemployed 24 year old. At least according to this article;

http://www.injersey.com/thnt/story/0,21282,969671,00.html

Bass Hassan is a microbiologist in England and still kicking around. At least according to this:

Just had to check, didn't want to see another dead microbiologist!

[Oorang]

Ummm, sounds good. I'll bring some lemon coconut bars I made!

[Calpernia]

Interesting.

Then what is your opinion of this?

DECEMBER 29, 2003 – Remember that horrible day in the late 1990's when the power plant in the Pacific Northwest was blown up by terrorists?

How about that other attack just across the border in Canada?

"There were a number of terrorists incidents," our source told us. "There were a lot of things going on, so much that when Sonny Bono was killed, the first thing that was suspected was terrorism."

Sonny Bono - at the time of his death Congressman Sonny Bono (R-CA) - had been serving on the House Intelligence Committee which had been dealing with the terrorist incidents occuring - but not being reported - at the time. And one of the issues Bono had taken up shortly before his death, according to this source, was that the occurrence of terrorist attacks should be made public.

"When he first died, everyone's first thought was that it was related to the terrorist attacks in some way."

This source, a high-level insider, said the reason we never heard about the successful acts of terrorism being carried out on our homeland was a willing complicity on the part of the media.

"They were told it was best for national security to not report the incidents as attacks but simply as accidents." The source said they were told it would encourage the terrorists and even inspire copy cats. And so the entire American media went along with the knowing silence.

The Pacific Northwest, the main hotbed of this activity, is also the area where Moktar Haouari tried to enter the US with a car full of explosives on his way to blow up Los Angeles International Airport at the turn of the millennium. How a terrorist suddenly appeared up near Seattle caught most of the nation completely off guard. It was only a fortunately observant border guard who noticed Haouari's nervous manner, which led her to demand the search of the car which turned up the 10 110-pound bags of bomb-making urea hidden in his tire wells.

Though the Haouari story had a happy ending, had America been told about the terrorist attacks that were occurring on our soil, would we have been more vigilant prior to 9/11? The guard who caught Haouari was just fortunate he acted so anxiously and angrily. She said that was the only reason she chose to search his car. Had the recent terrorist attacks in her region been more publicly announced, perhaps LAX's fate wouldn't have had to depend so heavily on this man losing his cool at the border.

Bono's death, in the end, according to our source, turned out truly to just be an accident. And since the press has actually reported a terrorist incident as a terrorist incident - I guess passing 9/11 off as a window cleaner who had a problem with his cigarette lighter wouldn't have worked very well. But don't count on them reporting every terrorist attack that occurs as what it is.

Will be looking forward to it for our list of stolen public servant uniforms, airlines, badges etc is very long
