MUSLIM ARRESTED FOR VANDALIZING CALIFORNIA CATHOLIC CHURCHES

LOS ANGELES, (CWNews.com) - A Muslim man has been arrested for allegedly vandalizing statues at Catholic churches in the Los Angeles area.

Emad Ibrahim Saad, 35, of Los Angeles was arraigned on Tuesday and is being held on $70,000 bail. Police say Saad cut off the head of a Virgin Mary statue, cut off the hand of a statue of St. Rita, and stole a statue of Blessed Junipero Serra at St. Augustine Church in Culver City on October 28. They said Muslim magazine were found at the church along with pamphlets that read, "Allah is the only true God." ( Don't forget the 72 vrigins and 4 wives )

Witnesses said Saad was trying to distribute Muslim tracts outside the church earlier in the month and was asked to leave.

Saad is also suspected of vandalizing statues of Mary at St. Anselm and St. Raphael churches in Los Angeles, and police are investigating whether he was connected to the vandalism of a tabernacle on October 30.

Sounds like a hate crime to me. Also notice no mention of his citizenship or immigration status.

FUTURE WIDOWS OF AMERICA: WRITE YOUR CONGRESSMAN
The enemy is in this country right now. And any terrorists who are not already here are free to immigrate. The government has been doing an excellent job rounding up suspects from the last two attacks. But what about the next attack? We thought there was only one murderous Islamic cell in America the last time, too.

Congress has authority to pass a law tomorrow requiring aliens from suspect countries to leave. As far as the Constitution is concerned, aliens, which is to say non-citizens, are here at this country's pleasure. They have no constitutional right to be here.

Communicate! Let the Sons of....

NOW IS THE TIME TO CANCEL ALL VISAS!! WE MUST DEPORT ALL ALIENS, ENACT A MORATORIUM ON IMMIGRATION!!!

'Arab terrorists' crossing border: Middle Eastern illegals find easy entrance into U.S. from Mexico

WND POLL
Why is U.S. government taking little action to secure its borders?

Congress Still Won't Stop Illegal Immigration Democrats have not dropped their opposition to stopping illegal immigration, with troops or without. Complaining that Democratic efforts to make immigration into the United States easier have been complicated by the attacks, a Democratic Senate aide told the Washington Post, "Obviously what happened is going to make our job harder."

International Terrorism and Immigration Policy House Subcommittee on Immigration and Claims

Hearing on International Terrorism and Immigration Policy

January 25, 2000

Good morning. Before I begin my prepared comments, I would like to take a moment to express my deepest appreciation to you, Mr. Chairman, for holding this hearing, and, equally important, for standing up to the orchestrated campaign to stop me from appearing. Because of the investigative work I have carried out as a journalist and investigator in exposing the presence of militant Islamic fundamentalists and Middle Eastern terrorists in the United States (see attached bio), I have been the subject of a sustained campaign of vilification, defamation and even a threat to my life during the past five years by militant Islamic organizations operating as self-anointed representatives of the larger Muslim population, whom they decidedly do not represent.

U.S. Law Says Membership in Terrorist Group,Or Advocacy of Terror, No Bar to Immigration

A 1990 U.S. immigration law, sponsored by Sen. Ted Kennedy (D.-Mass.), instructs State Department employees that "mere" membership in a terrorist organization or advocacy of acts of terrorism should not exclude foreigners from receiving U.S. immigration visas.

Under the law as it is written, someone who belongs to a Middle Eastern terrorist group and has publicly stated a desire that the World Trade Center towers be blown up cannot, on those grounds alone, be denied permission to legally enter the United States as a prospective citizen.

Principles for turning the tide on illegal immigration Based on the views of more than two dozen INS agents and former INS officials, NumbersUSA has compiled a list of principles that these people believe would turn the tide on illegal immigration in the United States. Although many of the people consulted by NumbersUSA did not know each other, they provided remarkably similar ideas and optimism about how to make the United States once again a nation where the rule of law prevails in terms of who has a right to be a participating member of the national community. As a whole, the INS sources did not doubt that the flow of illegal immigration would slow and many present illegal aliens would begin to go back to their home countries if the following principles were put into effect.

Some teens in San Diego lit an m-80 firecracker outside the Islamic Center in the Clairemont area of San Diego a few days after the 9-11 incident. They were apprehended and charged with a hate crime. Their acts had no financial impact. This guy needs to serve some time AND pay the cost of restoration of the damage.

Let me make your day:

At Trolley park in San Diego, I observed three Arab young men wearing Osama t-shirts strutting their stuff in a most intimidating manner --- walking the cement pathways 3-wide.

In a matter of minutes, six Latino young men, surrounded the Arabs, disrobed them of their t-shirts, and tore them into shreds, wherein the blew their noses and wiped their behinds.

I tell you, with the muslim sensitivity, the Dems got themselves an opened can of worms, because which minority are they going to support now? During the New York black-Jew riots they took the side of the blacks (never mentioned in the media that Jews were first attacked at Synagogues by black muslims). I would not be surprised if the media somehow ended up blaming white latinos the way they did the Cubans. What a mess that race centeredness has gotten us into. It's a political balkanisation that the media wants for sure.

I'm a NY Freeper and was wondering when these scum would start on you guys. Looks like they started a lot sooner than we on the Right Coast knew. I stumbled upon this FR thread of what was reported in Fresno on 9/30. I'm wondering why this isn't plastered all over the media. I don't know how to thread links but here's the URL.

Like Cuban-Americans, Chaldean Arab Americans are almost 100 percent GOP, so I think your analysis is correct: the democrats will side with the Muslim Arabs. Let's pray, they do. :>)

How would Americans have reacted 60 years ago if kids were prancing around with images of Adolph Hitler on their chests?

I would go as far as to demand a bounty be placed on the head of all illegal immigrants. Something equivalent to the amount of services they would steal over the time they remian here illegally, say $20K per head? It would be a savings in the long run. This is coming from someone who was sympathetic to people who wanted to make new lives in America. As long as they do it legally. All of the others are foreign agents and enemies at this point.

Until we take defending our border seriously enough to shoot anyone who steps over the line illegally, we're in trouble. If I can say that with a clean conscience, it's a BIG problem.

The only problem with this is, why should ordinary citizens have to single out Arabs? These characters should have been sent back to their homeland before this even happened. The United States should make a declaration that any illegal will be provided a one-way ticket to their homeland and given a short period of time to get there. After this internment in the closest military post.

You succeeded in making my day. I'd love to have been there to see that.

Over and over I have read this bit about the 72 virgins on various sites and news but have not found sources to confirm.(probably don't know where to look) I have told others about it but cannot back it up with any documentation. With 70% of people thinking this is a "peaceful" religion,they doubt only words. Can anyone out there give me some info or links that directly mention this particular prize for the Islam extremist? Thanks

"Sounds like a hate crime to me."

Yep. A hate crime it is. So, what would happen if a Christian went to a Muslim country like Saudi and dropped tracts on Christianity and painted verses from the bible all over the walls?

He or she would be arrested, and in some of those countries, would face the death penalty.
