fast track to becoming a border patrol agent

I pray someone in government is finding heartfelt compassion and a fast track for border patrol agents Ramos and Compeon's release from prison. They're not mentioned much anymore, but they're definely not forgotten. Suspecting some applicants have second and third thoughts knowing the fate of these two men who attempted to secure the border, preventing a repeat drug runner from entry.

Worker sacked for stopping Muslim insult to the cross

A HOSPITAL porter was “devastated” last night after he was sacked following a row with a Muslim doctor over a crucifix. Joseph Protano, a devout Roman Catholic, was a regular visitor to a prayer room open to all faiths at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

But Mr Protono, 54, became increasingly angry to find that a crucifix and a statue of the Virgin Mary were regularly being left covered up. On one visit he discovered three Muslims – two patients and a consultant – inside the prayer room with the two icons masked by a cloth. A picture of the Virgin Mary had also been placed face down.

Mr Protano is alleged to have uncovered the symbols and stood the picture back up before leaving the room. But minutes later there was a “confrontation” in the corridor after the group followed him out. The Muslims accused Mr Protano of using racist language and assault, but he strongly denies the charges against him and claims they verbally abused him.

Mr Protano, from Salford, was suspended four days after the incident in December and has now been fired.

Muslim activist held rally for jihad

Muslim firebrand Abu Izzadeen held an illegal rally to drum up support for terrorists, a court heard yesterday. He was one of eight men who preached jihad and appealed for donations for militants in Iraq, it was told.

Jihadis recruiting Muslim youth in Norway

Oslo, Norway) Without going into detail, the chief of the Norwegian Police Security Service (Politiets sikkerhetstjeneste PST), Jorn Holme, said the young, Norwegian Muslims are being recruited to carry out terror attacks overseas.

"We've had reports about older, manipulative Islamic extremists here in the country, who have tried to motivate youth to take part in jihad (holy war) attacks abroad," he told Aftenposten. He said PST is taking the reports seriously.Holme confirmed that active recruiting is occurring but stressed that the terror links found related to activity outside Norway.

Of course, this means that all Muslim youth traveling with Norwegian passports should be looked at very closely.

I’m still praying for the release of Ramos and Compean.

One of my nephews has just become a Border Patrol Agent. In his first week on the job, his unit intercepted smugglers with 800 lbs. of marijuana and 500 lbs. of cocaine. He is stationed on the border in West Texas. I worry that if he ever has to shoot a drug smuggler, he could end up in a Federal Prison.
