O America, do you know who your enemies are?

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.
.....and stand up wind while you're at it....
LOL!
O America, do you know who your enemies are?
I love this old picture as it exemplifies Islam....
Here we see the moron demonstrating his hatred of America but doesn't realize that the gasoline covering his arm and shirt also will burn fiercly....How stupid.
I hope it hurt but I remember that unfortunately this act wasn't fatal.
Ohhh, Durka durka durka jihad Mohammed durka.
The two words - Islamic and thinker - don't belong in juxtaposition in any sentence.
I'm truly afraid for us when an Islamist with a seeminly American accent can without fear of retribution call for the downfall of our country.
Since 1979 (or before)
Wishful thinking - Although some conservative causes won in the last election, don't be disillusioned by the whole thing. Our country is on a steep hill downwards - and our current leaders (including the supposed more conservative.... ha-ha) are only far-undersized and inadequate breaks for this downhill rolling monster.
The truth of the matter is - it may very well be too late to reverse our direction. When our own supposedly "right thinking" president refuses to enforce our borders and to say the truth in regards to the issues that are killing our country (particularly with his Religion of Peace crap), we have little hope of turning it around. This doesn't mean it's time to jump ship or to give up - quite the contrary. But we have such an obsticle to overcome that it is not for weak stomached whimps who sit at their computer desk and prach to the choir here on FR. IN fact - if you can take away the racist leanings of some of the previously demonized-by-the-media-and government "survivalist groups, and private militias, and you can see how these folks really WERE (are?) seeing the truth. Hopefully it won't come down to a new American Revolution - but our founding fathers were quite clear on their reasoning for the 2nd Amendment - and it wasn't so we could go hunting come this fall. It was to protect our country - from enemies both foreign and DOMESTIC. They were wise enough to know that absolute power in government had to be prevented. I am hoping that the silent majority that finally spoke up somewhat in the last election will continue to vote their concience - and thus MAYBE turning our country around. But again, it is our duty to make certain that what is TRUE is spread far and wide. We don't have any room in this country for those who would trample the Constitution, the symbols of our freedom, and our national Sovereignty.
Don't be so sure! The number of Muslims born in the US of Muslim parents and foreign-born Muslims fully educated in the US is hundreds to thousands of times larger then the number of US CONVERTS. Unaccented English (and sometimes even appearance) can be misleading.
Just remember, our hunters have more guns and ammo than our military. Then add ATV's, four wheelers, boats, GPS units, night vision scopes, radios, outdoor gear, and an attitude. Hiya, boys!
did you watch the video?
"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."
To paraphase Charles Dickens; Are their no police? Are their no nightsitcks?
Honestly, the biggest mistake made by the founding fathers in creating this country is the lack of a cultural immune system. There is no system for defending the American way of life from the traitors, perverts, nutjobs and America-haters that are cancers on this country. Instead, the system protects them from the beating they so richly deserve.
Had I been near them, I would have been arrested for assault. The pleasure would have been all mine.
Loyal Muslims should remain free. The Japanese internment of WWII was unfortunate and unjust in that the internment was wholesale. We made little effort to distinguish between loyal and dangerous Japanese. That mistake of our past should not cause us to abandon internment as a necessary instrument for the safety of the American people.
The debate should not be about pre-emptive internment, per se, but about how it can be done without violating the rights of loyal and non-dangerous American Muslims.
Islam and Thinking. Can you seriously say the two words in one breath without giggling?
They don't eat bacon...that's the problem. Maybe a little pig fat would do them some good.
At least a few of them, maybe more, are lucky I wasn't driving that car in the picture.
