CAIR the unindicted co-conspirator in The Holy Land trial, is getting a little more exposure into its inner working than it bargained for: The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has, since its founding in 1994, served as the Islamist movement in North America's most high-profile, belligerent, manipulative, and aggressive agency. From its headquarters in Washington, CAIR also sets the agenda and tone for the entire Wahhabi lobby. [..]Looking further ahead, I expect CAIR’s days are numbered. It’s an institution that was founded by people with terrorist ties. Over the years, it has established a long record of untrustworthiness that includes...

Extremist websites have lauded Libyan immigrant Mohammed Game’ s botched bombing of a military barracks in northern Italy – the country’s first attempted suicide attack. Police have arrested two people suspected of helping Game in Monday’s attack, in which he lost a hand, his eyesight and suffered injuries to his face. An Italian soldier was slightly injured in the attack. “Well done, God will reward you,” wrote a user of an Al-Qaeda linked website who called himself ‘Abdelaziz the Algerian’. “What great men are those who are accompanied by their God. Death to the tyrants! No regrets, no recrimination, only...

Multiculturalism, as a concept, may seem fair until you examine its ramifications – until you look at its realities. For multiculturalism to work, all sides must be willing to work together and whatever community its tenets must insist that the local laws be followed by one and all, without exception! Muslims in the UK, want public monies but reject any strings attached: Muslim groups say that they want money from the Government but don’t like the strings attached which ask them to help root out extremism. The Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) says that the grants which require them to...

“My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions. As soon as men will find that in one instant, whole armies can be utterly destroyed, they surely will abide by golden peace.” - Alfred Nobel According to Nobelprize.org, Obama received the prize "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" Honestly, gentle reader, other than his amazing reading of a telemprompter can you name even one "extraordinary effort?" Can you name even one result that actually strengthened "international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples?"

Will the silent tears or the loud crying ever stop?Look at the eyes, gentle reader, the photographers have captured the pain, the hunger, the shame, the fear, the horror... The UN was supposed to alleviate such problems and usher in a new era of peace and prosperity. It has failed miserably! Precisely because of its all inclusiveness. “Would that include Nazi Germany if it existed today?” I asked him. “Why, yes,” he replied, “a sovereign state is a sovereign state.” The UN makes no demands that its members show even the most minimal regard for human rights or even human...

"A Saudi cleric named Sheikh Muhammad al-Munajid has promised on Saudi TV that the virgins we Muslims will get in paradise will be white. If you blow yourself up in a martyrdom operation, you’ll be rewarded with 72 pure women, and not one of them will be black or Indian, or even Arab or Iranian. …in Paradise, a man gets the strength of 100 men when it comes to eating, drinking, passion and sex." Ahhh, how delightful that paradise! Truly worth blowing oneself up, becoming a shahid and enjoying passion and sex like a hundred men all at once for...

"You don't need to know. You can't know." That's what Kathy Norris, a 60-year-old grandmother of eight, was told when she tried to ask court officials why, the day before, federal agents had subjected her home to a furious search. No, this didn't happen in a Kafkaesque novel like The Trial. No it didn't happen in the old USSR or in any of its satellite countries, or even in a fascist police state. No, gentle reader, it happened right here on our very own shores!

A majority of this country’s electorate voted for the man. Not because of his ideas, not because of his experience, not because of his intellect! No, they voted for him because he promised some vague, never defined “hope and change.” Meanwhile, listening to his speech in Cairo, seeing him bow to the Saudi King, and being embarrassed by his vacuous self serving words at the UN, America is starting to wake up. His work ethic is all but presidential. He found 14 plus hours, in his busy schedule, to fly out to the Olympic Committee and plead Chicago’s (read: Tony...

There are so many depressing news lately, every once in a while we have to laugh or we’ll go meshugue! I came across an interesting new blog of mostly Jewish video content. It does have some funny videos, some serious also! Bits that everyone can appreciate and… no, you don’t have to be Jewish even. Don’t listen to the news, don’t read the paper unless you have some aspirins handy and a psychiatrist is in the same room with you. (I can recommend my friend Morrisd, tell him I sent you and he’ll give you a nice discount!) Meanwhile, laugh...

1. Scientists in Israel found that the brackish water, drilled from underground desert aquifers, hundreds of feet deep, could be used to raise warm-water fish. The geothermal water, less than one-tenth as saline as sea water, free of pollutants, and a toasty 98 degrees on average, proves an ideal environment. [...] 3. When Stephen Hawkins recently visited Israel, he shared his wisdom with scientists, students, and even the Prime Minister. But the world’s most renown victim of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or Lou Gehrig’s disease, also learned something, due to the Israeli Association for ALS’ advanced work in both embryonic...

The French Philosopher Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-1592) once said: “Man is quite insane, he would not know how to create a maggot but he creates gods by the dozen.” I used to think idolatry was a thing of the past, unfortunately it is alive and well in this the 21st century, even here among some enlightened “progressive” Americans. Want proof? [Watch the video, you want believe your eyes. Clergy from the Gamaliel Foundation are praying to Obama!]

Kadima leader Tzipi Livni became the first Israeli politician to criticize Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s landmark speech to the United Nations in an interview she gave on Saturday afternoon to Channel 2. Livni said that Netanyahu made a mistake when he invoked the horrors of the Holocaust in his criticism of Holocaust-denying Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. They needed to be reminded about the UN Charter, or at least they needed to be be shown up as hypocrites. And that is exactly what Netanyahu did! He also reminded them that the Jewish people hold a deed to the Land of Israel,...

WWII left over 50,000,000 dead, between civilians and combatants throughout its European theater. All because of the folly of a crazed, obsessed, German dictator – Adolf Hitler. He outlined his political ideology, his set of twisted beliefs in his Mein Kampf – My Battle. Its first volume was published in 1925, the second in 1926. The world did not believe him and ignored his book, instead history clearly showed us how little we can afford to disbelieve, to ignore, the abhorrent rantings of a powerful, charismatic madman. Thus having learned how dangerous murderous tyrants can be, reeling from the unprecedented...

Every circus must have a clown and Gaddafi did not disappoint. He rumbled on six times longer than his allotted time and as expected, the pearls of idiocy pouring forth from his mouth were priceless examples of the dictator’s deluded mind. The colonel hailed Obama's speech but chastised him for leaving before Gaddafi's himself spoke. He also referred to the American President as, "my son." Was that a hint to the birthers that there may be a new angle for them to look into? My good friend Rabbi Yaakov Spivak, over on his Flashpoint blog, asks: Jack Ruby was an...

Jews intone theses words: …mi yichie umi yamut (who will live and who will die)… mi bamayim umi ba’esh (who by water and who by fire)…As we look around the world, between the current economic meltdown and the forces that wish to destroy the West… the horizon looks rather bleak. Evil seems to be ascendant, the western nations are plagued by the cancer within, wittingly or unwittingly, working for their destruction. Western politicians of every political stripe, are guilty of the current situation whether for personal gain, for personal glory or merely because of absolutely naive misguidance. The world, as...

The IDF early Thursday morning caught three Arab terrorists, one of whom was carrying an eight-inch knife, approaching Meitzad in eastern Gush Etzion, located southeast of Jerusalem. No one was injured, and the security personnel are interrogating the terrorists, who admitted they intended to carry out a stabbing attack in Meitzad. The attempted attack came less than 24 hours after Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered the removal of 100 security checkpoints and dirt roadblocks in Judea and Samaria. No one was injured in the attack, and no damage was reported. All right, maybe some Israelis were a bit frightened for...

The White House is collecting and storing comments and videos placed on its social-networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube without notifying or asking the consent of the site users, a failure that appears to run counter to President Obama’s promise of a transparent government and his pledge to protect privacy on the Internet. …without notifying or asking the consent of site users. Please, don’t worry gentle reader, surely there’ll be no attempt to re-educate those critical of the White House. The White House is merely collecting the info because like the Russia’s KGB they are lovingly concerned as...

Sweden’s Aftonbladet started it. The fact that both the article’s author and the paper’s editor already admitted they had no corroborating evidence meant little to “antiZionists”. Now the libel is spreading, like wildfire, throughout Islamic lands. The Bangladeshi Weekly Blitz reports: The anti-Semitic blogosphere as well as many Arab and Muslim media outlets are abuzz these days with accusations of an international Jewish conspiracy to kidnap Algerian children and harvest their organs. Unlike the multiple conspiracy theories about Jews circulating among radical fringe organizations online, this one seems to be gaining momentum on mainstream Arab and Muslim Web sites. According...

Fanish, 20, was arrested last Saturday. His death was “judicial murder” according to human rights activist. The day before a Muslim mob attacked members of the dead man’s Christian community, setting fire to their church. Pakistani extremists are funded by Saudi “charities.” Some of these Saudi “charities” are also active here in the US… They operate schools, mosques, etc… [...]Persecution of Jews continue in Bangladesh because of spread of religious hatred, mostly by fanatic Muslim clergies, who term the Jews as ‘enemies of Islam’. They encourage elimination of Jewish population from the country. That is why, although there is Jewish...

I remember that day… I had a 10:00am interview at Tower 1, that never came to be. I even had a childhood friend, a neighbours and a couple of acquaintances working there, I never saw them again… Yeap, I remember that day and I still choke up about it… What have we learned from that day, a day that forever changed America? On the one hand the War on Terror has managed to stop further attacks on American soil and quite a few in the rest of the free wold. How? Because of the information gathered at Guantanamo and other...
