Bin Laden Sends Greetings to D.C. Protesters?
A representative from a Muslim advocacy group offered greetings to tens of thousands of anti-war protesters gathered in Washington, D.C. on Saturday in the name of the "Mujahadeen," a term that has come to be closely associated with Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda terror network.
Dr. Ghazi Khaksan, of the Council on American Islamic Relations, took to the podium near the end of the rally to read a poem packed with criticism of the Bush administration.
"Tell Bush, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Tony Blair to stop colonizing Middle East oil through blood and warfare," he told the crowd. "We're all against weapons of mass destruction. But let's compare. Who has them stockpiled in the Middle East - only Israel, I declare."
Near the end of his poem, Khaksan announced, "I bring to you salaams and greetings from the Mujahadeen at CAIR." CAIR's spokesman Ibrahim Hooper defended bin Laden two months ago as being no worse than Rev. Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.
Webster's Collegiate dictionary defines Mujahadeen as: "a person who wages jihad, Islamic guerilla fighters esp. in the Middle East."
In December top Al Qaeda official Sulaiman Abu Ghaith invoked the Mujahadeen to threaten further terrorist attacks on the West.
"The Christian-Jewish alliance will not, God willing, be safe from attacks by the mujahadeen," he warned, according to the New York Post. "The alliance's installations and facilities everywhere will be subject to attacks."
After his reference to the Mujahadeen, Khaksan told the crowd somewhat incongruously, "Ten million Muslims and Arab Americans, like you, are truly patriotic and deeply care for America's welfare."
In a November interview with WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg, Hooper defended bin Laden, saying the terrorist mastermind was no worse than Falwell and Robertson.
"They're the equivalent of our Osama bin Laden," the CAIR official charged, before asking rhetorically, "Why did Osama bin Laden send planes into the World Trade Center? What possible reason? The only thing you can think of is that he wanted to create a permanent divide between the Muslim world and the West. And that's the same thing these guys want to do."
Asked about bin Laden's penchant for mass murder, Hooper responded, "Given the right circumstance, (Falwell and Robertson) would do the same in the opposite direction."
Minutes before Khaksan offered greetings from the bin Laden connected group, Imam Mousa Masjid Al-Islam took to the podium and called for the overthrow of the U.S. government.
"It's revolution time, brothers and sisters. We gotta get rid of this system," Al-Islam said. "The people of the world (are) waiting on us," he added, warning that the world's problems "will never be solved as long as we have these greedy murderers and imperialists like George Bush and George Bush, Jr. sitting in the White House "
Then the Imam led the crowd in an Islamic chant specifically addressed to what he called "the 1.5 billion people in the world" who would understand its meaning.
"When I say Takbia, you say Alhaam hu Akhbar," he exhorted the protesters, who repeated the phrase several times. It could not be immediately learned what the Imam's coded message to the world's Muslims meant.
Other luminaries addressing the anti-U.S. demonstration included Black Panther-turned New York City Councilman Charles Barron, Democratic Congressman John Conyers and presidential candidate Rev. Al Sharpton.
I hear you enfield. Muslim voters claim that put Bush in thw White House, LOL!! Since a large majority of them voted for him.
But you're right, he was "brung" to the White House by Conservative Christians, who voted for him overwhelmingly. NOT any other identifiable group.
Enough said.
"Ring DemBells!!"
(To be sung to Bob Dylan's "Ring Them Bells")
Ring Dem bells, you heathens with yer Big Guv'ment schemes...
Ring Dem bells from yer sanctuaries where Vile Lib'rals preach!!
"Re-Impeach!!" Mudboy cried...
"We've got Truth on OUR side...
"And Clinton's Power's fractured...Sweet Justice be Thine!!"
Ring Dem bells, good FReepers, let yer OUTRAGE show!!
Ring Dem bells...make yer righteous stand, so John Ashcroft will know!!
Folks, it's Rush Hour now...
Help us FReep 'gainst the Power!!
Lord, the sun is goin' down upon Left's sacred cows!!
Ring Dem bells, Sweet Justice, tell yer Congressman...
Ring Dem bells so the World will know Gary Winnick's SCUM!!
Folks, the Networks are asleep...
But their Power's weak...
And the Country's still filled with lost sheep.
Ring Dem bells...fer Left's Blind Ignorance!!
Ring Dem bells for those morally-bereft!
Ring Dem bells for Left's chosen few...
Who would judge the many...
Yet say, "Slick is KEWL!!"
Ring Dem bells for the Chi-Com SPIES...
For the kids that died...
When innocents FRIED!!
Ring Dem bells, brave Patriots, shan't let Tyranny bloom!!
Ring Dem bells for our Sailors whom Slick Willie entombed!!
List of crimes is long...
But Bold FReepers are strong...
And we're breakin' down resistance to Rightin' Wrongs!!
Mudboy Slim
BTW...Folks, it's time we demonstrated the Power of FReepin' to those who would deprive us of Justice and Liberty!! Terry McAuliffe, outspoken proponent of Campaign Finance Reform and Chairman of the DNC, has committed multiple FELONIES to get to his position of prominence in the DemocRATic Party, yet no one seems willing to hold him accountable!! As Bill Clinton's Chief Fundraiser in the '96 Presidential elections, McAuliffe was the mastermind behind the Union/DemocRAT scheme to bilk hard-working blue-collar workers out of Millions of Dollars of Pension Funds so as to provide Bill Clinton with the cash to retain his position of Power, and no INDICTMENT has been forthcoming. Elle Bee tells me there is a 5-year Statute of Limitations--expiring this Fall--on this Crime, and George Bush's Attorney General, John Ashcroft, has not said one word about holding the DNC Chairman accountable for his crimes!! THIS INJUSTICE SHALL NOT STAND!!
A small contingent of Justice-loving FReepers have--for almost two years--been promoting a series of threads exposing McAuliffe's long criminal history, but now it's time to take the Truth beyond FreeRepublic!! Please assist our efforts with your emails, phone calls, and snail mails to those who need to expose this lowlife SCUM for all the World to see!!
Thanks for your help in Ringin' the Bells of Justice!!

Ashcroft KNOWS the statute of limitations is up. He is just stalling out for as long as he can.

But isn't it funny how they sure as hell sent Congressman James Trafficant to jail for "ethical" violations.
Takbia is the word I'm still trying to figure out. “TK BY” is sort of the way it way it is spelled with consonants. What I don’t know, is how the person who transcribed phrase treated the text vowel choice and dialect of the speaker. There are more vowel in Arabic then English. That’s why Khadafi is spelled sometimes Qadafi or even Ghdafi.
Unfortunately, I’m having to relearn my Arabic, before I can understand the Arabic text, which explains the possibilities of dialect combined with normal phraseology. (Like English “turn” the light “on.”)
Ever since Wahabi hijacked Islam, this beautiful Allah Akbar prayer degraded into the last thing a Whabi Jamali Jihad says when thinks he'll find 72 virgins. Perverted acts of murder in God's name is as offensive to God fearing Muslims; as the Klansmen's cross burning is for God fearing Christians. (Ranks right up there with flag burning for me.)
Good Christians, add a prayer for our God fearing Muslim and Jewish brothers tonight too.
"When I say Takbia, you say Alhaam hu Akhbar"
Alhaam hu Akhbar
"LH H KBR"=God ? greatest. (This could be treated as "LH H QBR")
Allah kum Akhbar perhaps should have been scribed
"LH KM KBR"=My (or our) God is greatest. (This could be treated as "LH KM QBR")
Allah Akbar
"LH KBR"=God is greatest. (This could be treated as "LH QBR")
Allah Akbar is meant as a beautiful chanted prayer to the God of Moses, our creator.
Arabic is spelled with consonants. Vowels and double letters are the accent marks. If I'm feeling lucky, (and so far I'm not, I'm re-writing my draft which I posted.) I might try scanning the alphabet letters as *.gif files for later.

Good Christians and other people of faith, add a prayer for all our Christian, Jewish, and Muslim brothers. Our Muslim brothers indeed had their faith hijacked.
