Nestled in the heart of Virginia and the Blue Ridge Mountains lies an Evangelical Mecca, where Christianity and Country music are as indigenous to the region as the seven hills of Lynchburg and thousands of students make their annual pilgrimage, every fall, to study at the largest Christian University in the world. But in the buckle of the bible belt, some residents answer a different call to prayer.
And if Obama has his way, many of the 100,000 Muslim refugees expected to arrive this year will be dumped right in the heart of Americas Bible Belt, transported and supported on the backs of hardworking US taxpayers.
WSET: The Muslim community in the Lynchburg area is made up of around 50 families. Like many of those families, Mohammad and Asma Rahman moved here to seize a better opportunity.
Going only on his word, Asma, Mohammad, and their two sons made their way to Lynchburg in 2006. We knew about Liberty and Jerry Falwell.
Asma Rahman says she had reservations and was a little scared. Here when we came at first, I was a little bit, because I knew there werent that many Muslims said Asma Rahman. We didnt have a mosque at the time, added Mohammad Rahman.
A stark contrast to the mosque in New Jersey where their kids attended Islamic school or their native Bangladesh home to some of the largest mosques in the world. People in the Boonsboro area and the Lynchburg area were praying in peoples homes on Fridays, said Mohammad Rahman.
So a group of Muslim families, including the Rahmans, formed the Greater Lynchburg Islamic Association and raised enough funds to buy and repurpose a home. Alhamdullilah, weve been very grateful, said Mohammed Rahman.
At the same time GLIA was constructing Lynchburgs first mosque tensions overseas were escalating as the U.S. entered its 7th year in the War on Terror. And Al-Qaeda militants and its subsidiaries claims to be fighting in the name of Islam, were further changing perceptions of Muslims at home.
9/11 put Islam in the national and international spotlight, often in the context of terrorism. But Asma Rahman can recall an incident that predates the attacks. When my children were young, I was in New Jersey, my son came home a couple of times even before 9/11 and said mom why do they talk about that we are terrorist? said Asma.
Since, headlines have been filled with Islamic extremist claiming responsibility for a number of attacks the Boston Marathon bombings, the Charlie Hebdo attack, brutal beheadings. But how can a religion many of its believers argue is peaceful be used to justify such atrocities?
In any religious text out of its content, it becomes a pretext. You can use it for whatever you mean, said Liberty University professor and Theologian Dr. Chris Gnanakan. Dr. Gnanakan says terrorism justified by religion is often rooted in power and politics.
Religion was never meant to be volatile. I think peace is what all religions seek. Muslims will say that, Hindus live that and Christians pursue peace, said Gnanakan.
Many Muslims in the U-S have publicly condemned and disassociated themselves from extremist views. We are non-violent people Sometimes people get scared because of hearing all the news. And sometimes that may lead to something but fortunately for me I havent been exposed to any of that, said Mohammed Rahman.
The Rahman family has now lived in Lynchburg for 8 years. They say from the start, their neighbors welcomed them with open arms. As they interact with us, they see what we are, so I never felt any kind of discrimination, said Mohammad Rahman.

Tennessee alone will get up to 10,000 Somali Muslims this year. As crime rates soar in every city in America that has a significant Somali Muslim population, home values drop like a stone.
Stop these Somalis at the state line or the airport. Send them back to whence they came!
Importing a bunch into Idaho also I just read.

His plan to destroy America is well on its way ....
They lie.
Can you say "taqiyah"?
I can...and I know damned well that every islamist is taught it and practices it.
The biggest one is in the White Hut, as we speak.
(and these are very DATED maps)
I see the expression they’re wearing as unattractive. Since I’m certain that wasn’t the intent I’m wondering why I see it so. Even if I try to imagine they aren’t communists out to destroy America I still see the looks on their faces as (threatening? Insolent?) Joseph Stalin could look very (I hesitate to say attractive as that isn’t quite the right word.) You get no sense of the monster in him. Any thoughts?

Now, the seeds they so gleefully sowed in 2008 and 2012 are about ready to reap.
they werent and arent a very “happy couple”. Their expressions reflect that
I suspect that the photo was never supposed to see the light of day, so to speak.
That’ll teach ‘em not to “cling to their guns and their religion...”
On the contrary, it may just teach those bitter clingers to hold all the more tightly.
Perhaps the Current Occupant WANTS a religious war.
Take care what you wish for. Your wish may be granted.

Muslim Killer on Disability and Food Stamps had Diamonds and 200 Credit Cards Hidden on property
Front Page Magazine | 6/20/2014 | Daniel Greenfield / FR Posted by Dqban22
--SNIP--Federal authorities executed a search warrant on a Muslim who killed a Christian....the sprawling, 5-acre property 40 miles north of Houston, where they allegedly found cash, diamonds, pearls, weapons and phony passports hidden in attic rafters, in secret compartments throughout a cluster of trailers and outbuildings and even inside the buried drum of a clothes dryer at the Conroe, Texas property.
The Muslim Irsan, his wife Shmou Ali Alrawabdeh, and another daughter were subsequently arrested on a variety of federal fraud charges and are in federal custody.
A federal criminal complaint detailing the discoveries recounts a saga of nearly 20 years in which the 57-year-old naturalized citizen from Jordan, and his family, allegedly scammed taxpayer disability assistance funds claiming fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue symptoms, and affective disorders while secreting real estate, vehicles and cash in US and foreign bank accounts.
The complaint also alleges the Muslim Irsan:
<><> was receiving taxpayer funds for a son not living in the US,
<><> maintained several addresses on the property to facilitate various schemes, and,
<><> once disabled a safety feature on a saw then purposefully cut himself to receive a $75,000 settlement.
The Muslim Ali was certainly industrious and entrepreneurial, just not quite in the way amnesty advocates like to claim.
Also found on the property was a makeshift gun range, which witnesses said five or six Muslim families frequently visited to fire AK-47s and information about Irsans attempts to get a silencer. Nothing to do with Islam Im sure.
The rest of the scam ...... While there have been no allegations of terrorist ties regarding the Muslim familys alleged (a) foreign bank accounts, and, (b) suspicious wire transactions, Irsans strict adherence to radical Islam may have been a motive in the alleged murders.
Authorities are also re-examining a 1999 case in which Muslim Irsan was not indicted after claiming self-defense in the shooting of son-in-law Amjad Alidam, who was married to Nasemah Rachelle Irsan.
And thats not all. Prosecutors also revealed, in connection to the social security fraud and credit card charges against Irsan, that they found more than 200 credit cards with various names and multiple variations of his own name throughout the Irwin Keel home.
Arresting officers say they also found more than 40 similar credit cards in his wallet the morning he was arrested. His daughter also alleges, among multiple other schemes detailed in court documents, that Ali Irsan purposely disabled the safety device on a Ryobi rotary saw and purposely cut his own foot. Prosecutors say he used that injury to receive a $75,000 settlement from the manufacturer.

Besides the obvious problems creative gerrymandering will assure liberals get political power in even the most conservative states.
It’s the offspring who typically end up causing trouble.
The problem is, Muslims in the south will have one hell of a time of it.
That little idol squatting at the left side of the picture seems to be blessing this couple....
Or maybe he is just dropping a log.
Perhaps it is the same thing.
That is true.
. But, none the less, it is what a majority of voters said, via their votes, they wanted. they had a choice both times. not much of a choice, but a choice.
I held my nose for Romney, but I didn’t believe a word he said as he had taken very position on every issue in the past.
The choices we have had have been designated losers chosen for us as designated losers.
Jebster is the next designated loser.
Some choice........................
