Socialism - Liberalism Quotation
"The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism, but under the name of liberalism they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program until one day America will be a socialist nation without ever knowing how it happened." – Norman Thomas
The Vatican has been meeting with Middle East bishops, along with Muslim clerics. While America's Left refuses to acknowledge that the Koran calls for death for Christians, along with Jews and everyone not submitting to Islam, the Vatican's Archbishop Raboula Beylouni has issued this statement: (important video below)
The Vatican
"The Koran gives Muslims the right to judge Christians and kill them with Jihad," he said. "It gives orders to impose religion with force, with the sword. For this reason, Muslims don't recognise the freedom of religion among themselves or others."
Muslims attending: Muhammad al-Sammak, political counsellor to the Grand Mufti of Lebanon, representing Sunni Islam; and Ayatollah Seyed Mostafa Mohaghegh Ahmadabadi, a law professor at the Shahid Beheshti University of Tehran and member of the Iranian Academy of Sciences, representing Shia Islam.
Pope Benedict XVI has warned against "lashing out against violence "in God's name." I praise the Pontiff and the Archbishop. It is critically important that Catholics and Protestants stand together to reveal the truth of the Koran. I can think of no more important issue today, than defending the West against Islamization.
When Christian ministers speak out against Islam and its threat, they are branded "radical Christians," "fundamentalist Christians," or "extremist right-wing religious leaders," and accused of attacking Muslims. Here's a good example:
Rev. O’Neal Dozier is pastor of the Worldwide Christian Center in Pompano Beach, Florida. He is a Conservative Republican and had a long history of favor with the GOP and the Bush family. That is, until the day he said Islam is a cult and he had a problem with a Muslim mosque being built in his community. Then he was asked to step down from the Broward Judicial Nominating Committee. It is said that he was“controversial” because he, a minister of a Gospel of Jesus Christ would ask judicial candidates if they were “God-fearing”. Oh my, to think a minister would actually ask someone going into a post of authority if they fear God...
Every quarter or so, I post this important video on the demographics of Muslims in Western nations. You will be overwhelmed by what you see, just as free countries are already being overwhelmed by the Muslim birth rate.

Kaukab Saddique is an Associate Professor of English/Literature at Pennsylvania's Lincoln University. He ranted with a microphone and a crowd of Leftists and Muslims in Washington, D.C. near the White House on Labor Day.

We must stand united to defeat, to destroy, to dismantle Israel, if possible by peaceful means. Perhaps like Saladin, we will give them enough food and water to travel back to the lands from where they came to occupy other people.
For the Jews I would say see what could happen to you if the Muslims wake up. And I say to the Muslims, dear brothers and sisters unite and rise up against the hydra headed monster which calls itself zionism.
No getting around the fact that Saddique called for violence against Israel, and issued a threat to Jews. Just another fatwa, exercising his 1st Amendment right. The Holocaust just a hoax, says Saddique. It's all about his freedom of speech. If I encouraged Americans to eradicate Palestine from the face of the earth, I'd be charged with a hate crime. Not Saddique. He has tenure...and he's a Muslim.
This is not a new mission for Kaukab Siddique. According to CBN, he's been spewing this same message for "at least a dozen years." Click the link below to read the article.
According to the video, Lincoln is historically the oldest African-American University in the U.S. Since 2003, the school has received almost $200 million dollars from the State of Pennsylvania. The University mailing address points to Lincoln University, Pennsylvania, which is located within one hour of Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel says "immigrants should learn to speak German," acknowledging that the "multikulti" concept has failed..."utterly." While Muslims are not specifically accused, it becomes clear as you read on. See an intriguing video of Muslims in Germany below and see what they really want.
Merkel is advising immigrants to do more to integrate, as an "anti-immigration feeling" rises in the country. Germans believe their country, suffering from high unemployment is "overrun by foreigners."
She added: "We kidded ourselves a while, we said: 'They won't stay, sometime they will be gone', but this isn't reality."
Hear it in the video below. Can you imagine that statement being made in the U.S.? 'Yeah, we thought they would leave after awhile but it isn't happening.' But the Chancellor made it clear that foreigners are welcome in Germany, just please speak our language and become one of us [my interpretation].
She specifically referred to recent comments by German President Christian Wulff who said that Islam was "part of Germany," like Christianity and Judaism.
In May 2010, the Central council of Muslims, pulled out of a German government-sponsored effort to "foster Muslim integration." Family Security Matters has the story.
See, the real problem in Germany, as with elsewhere across the globe are contentious Muslims. Most of the contentious believe in jihad against non-believers - that would be us." You can champion Muslim rights in the West all you want, but there is no such thing as a Muslim's infidel friend after you are no longer of use to the jihadist mission. You are next on the list.
Another long-range problem: Many Muslims in Germany and the U.S. refuse to let their school children integrate. We must think about what that means, and it isn't simple or pleasant. Children world-wide are the future. Put that in a post-it note in a place where you see it often.
In 2009, there were 4.3 million Muslims in Germany, 5.4% of the population. Some 2.5 million are Turkish immigrants or migrants. The U.S. has a Muslim population of about 2.5 million. Many assimilate. Those who do not are the problem.
The debate first heated up in August when Thilo Sarrazin, a senior official at Germany's central bank, said that "no immigrant group other than Muslims is so strongly connected with claims on the welfare state and crime". Mr Sarrazin has since resigned.
Four thousand Germans converted between July 2004 and June 2005" - mainly women who married a Muslim," but also many university graduates.
Two videos below. The first includes Merkel's statements. The second shows the violence at a school and the everyday problems with young Muslims. The second has subtitles in English. It moves quickly. Just hit pause with each one for easier reading.

Muslims in Germany - The Failure of Multikulti (video)
You will probably remember the startling magazine cover of the beautiful young Afghan woman, Aisha, looking into the camera with a large portion of her nose missing. Another tragic story of a woman's life as a Muslim wife in an Islamic country. See a video below.
Aisha
The TIME magazine cover was shocking but this lovely and courageous woman of only 19-years-old wanted the world to know about her plight...to see what happened to her as she tried to escape from her marriage to a Taliban thug who sliced her nose and ears off.
"When they cut off my nose and ears, I passed out," she told CNN. "In the middle of the night it felt like there was cold water in my nose. I opened my eyes and I couldn't even see because of all the blood."
After being left for dead in the mountains, she crawled to her grandfather's house and was taken to an American medical facility.
Following time time at a shelter in Kabul, she was flown to the US by the Grossman Burn Foundation in August and stayed with an American family.
This month, she had a prosthetic nose fitted at the West Hills Hospital. Dr Peter H Grossman said they hoped to give Aisha a more "permanent solution".
This might involve rebuilding her nose and ears using bone, tissue and cartilage from other parts of her body.
What happens now to Aisha? Can she stay in the U.S.? Does she want to? How many Aisha's are out there? Aisha's TIME cover asks: What Happens If We Leave Afghanistan? A good follow-up statement to that question is, God Bless America as America continues to bless the World with courage and compassion.

The Ground Zero mosque imam Feisal Rauf speaks of the "radical discourse" coming from those in opposition to the mosque being built, yet threatens us with the "very dangerous" retaliation we can expect from the radicals in the Muslim world, and says this can be "bigger than the Danish cartoon crisis. See videos below.
Imam Feisal Rauf
Ironic, he wants Americans to talk about the 9/11 attacks - at the "community center, so that we can "heal," and yet we have had virtually no Muslims wanting to dialog up to this point. "The moderates must take over the conversation, he says" Ha! Where are those moderates among Muslims? There are plenty of American moderates. It's the moderate non-Muslims who think building this mosque is a good idea.
As I've said over and over before, if you think this mosque will not be filled with the most radical imam's in the U.S. and from around the world you are not thinking. If you think this spot two blocks from the World Trade Center site will not become an American Mecca, in the worst sense, you are not thinking. And if I am wrong, you at least must concede that this might happen. I say it is likely to happen.
"If we move from that location..."
The danger from the radicals in the Muslims around the world to our national security...The concern for Americans who live and work and travel overseas will increasingly be compromised, if the rads are strengthen and if we do move it will strength their ability to recruit and their increasing aggression and violence around the country.
In the second video, Rauf says he plans to build a Muslim Y[MCA], so that Muslims can bond with the other New Yorkers. "Anger in the Muslim world will explode," he says, and if he had known how heated the opposition would become, he would not have planned to build on this spot, but now he must:
"If this is not handled correctly, this crisis could become much bigger than the Danish cartoon crisis, which resulted in attacks on Danish embassies in various parts of the Muslim world," Rauf said later. ".... If we don't handle this crisis correctly it could become something which could really become very, very, very dangerous indeed."
For all the talk about a "Y," remember that news of the "community center" came only after outrage about the mosque. Don't forget that the mosque itself will be capable of holding 1,000 worshippers.
We hear today that President Obama has granted "Direct Access" of the White House to the Muslim Brotherhood, but refused even a quick meeting with Texas Governor Rick Perry while Obama was visiting in the State. A booby prize was offered to Perry, granting him a meeting with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and Counterrorism Czar John Brennan. Perry declined the "opportunity," but no booby prize for the Muslim Brotherhood, who are meeting as we speak at the White House tonight. The White House declared there will be "no red tape" for the Islamic terror backers. Did I mention there is another Iftar dinner at the White House for the "brothers," after the meeting White House workshop?
Muslim Brotherhood
So what is the purpose of the workshop? From Big Peace taken from the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) newsletter, this is the purpose
…Leaders from Muslim organizations around the nation, particularly social service organizations, are invited to a workshop with representatives from the DOA, Faith Based and Neighborhood Partnerships, Health and Human Services, the White House, Department of Education, the Department of Homeland Security, and more. Twenty five to thirty Muslim leaders representing 20 Muslim organizations are expected to attend the workshop.
According to a representative of CCMO, this workshop is designed to clarify how Muslim nonprofits, mosques, Islamic centers, and social service organizations can strengthen their communities through more direct access to opportunities provided to social service agencies at the Federal level. “It will hopefully help cut through some of the red tape and shine light on the many opportunities for funding, government assistance, and resources that we just don’t know about at the local level,” said Elsanousi.
More from Christine Brim at Big Peace on the redistribution of your money:
This workshop constitutes an abdication of their professional responsibility by all government participants – and a taxpayer-funded government stimulus program for the attending Muslim Brotherhood-associated groups. The Muslim Brotherhood, founded in 1928, is a global Islamist political movement dedicated to imposing Shariah law on all nations and institutions. Their credo is “Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur’an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope.”
Why do we think some of these groups attending, possibly all, may be associated with the Muslim Brotherhood?
Because the sponsoring organization – the Coordinating Council of Muslim Organizations (CCMO), co-sponsoring with the Department of Agriculture – has a long history of associations with the Muslim Brotherhood. They also signed a 2009 American Muslim Task Force statement threatening to “suspend” relations with the FBI, because the FBI was investigating possible links to homegrown terrorism in mosques and other Muslim organizations.
The President welcomed his guests by noting that the many contributions made by American Muslims to US culture were too numerous to mention, and added that "Tonight's Iftar is a ritual that is also being carried out this Ramadan at kitchen tables and mosques in all fifty states. Islam, as we know, is part of America. And like the broader American citizenry, the American Muslim community is one of extraordinary dynamism and diversity -- with families that stretch back generations and more recent immigrants; with Muslims of countless races and ethnicities, and with roots in every corner of the world."
In recent years, the Brotherhood has attempted to forge a reputation as a moderate and reformist Islamic group that has renounced its violent past. Lending plausibility to this reputation has been criticism of the organization by radical Islamist groups, who have condemned the Brotherhood’s willingness to participate in the political process as heretical. These groups have also criticized the Brotherhood for supposedly abandoning violent struggle as a means of establishing an Islamic empire.
However, numerous statements by the Brotherhood’s leadership belie its moderate posture. Ali Sadreddine Bayanouni, the leader of the Syrian Muslim Brotherhood, has repeatedly disavowed violence while concurrently pledging his support for the terrorism of Hamas and Hezbollah. Muhammad Mahdi Othman Akef, a prominent leader of the Brotherhood, has expressed his support for suicide bombings in Israel and Iraq "in order to expel the Zionists and the Americans."
AP staff and reporters received an order "advisory" today telling them to cut out the "Ground Zero mosque" rhetoric and refer to it as the "NYC Mosque," or "New York City mosque." It all depends on what the meaning of "is" is - or what they think they can make the public believe "is" is.
Ground Zero Mosque site at red "A" - See Ground Zero to lower left corner
The AP has been trying to quash the idea that the mosque is considered the Ground Zero mosque. Whatever they were doing didn't work, so they're trying it again. They are attempting to shape the story, rather than represent the story, as usual. Just look at this and how they hope to manipulate opinions.
Colleagues,
Here is some guidance on covering the NYC mosque story, with assists from Chad Roedemeier in the NYC bureau and Terry Hunt in Washington:
1. We should continue to avoid the phrase "ground zero mosque" or "mosque at ground zero" on all platforms. (We’ve very rarely used this wording, except in slugs, though we sometimes see other news sources using the term.) The site of the proposed Islamic center and mosque is not at ground zero, but two blocks away in a busy commercial area. We should continue to say it’s “near” ground zero, or two blocks away.
WE WILL CHANGE OUR SLUG ON THIS STORY LATER TODAY from “BC-Ground Zero Mosque” to “BC-NYC Mosque.”
In short headlines, some ways to refer to the project include:
_ mosque 2 blocks from WTC site
_ Muslim (or Islamic) center near WTC site
_ mosque near ground zero
_ mosque near WTC site
We can refer to the project as a mosque, or as a proposed Islamic center that includes a mosque.
It may be useful in some stories to note that Muslim prayer services have been held since 2009 in the building that the new project will replace. The proposal is to create a new, larger Islamic community center that would include a mosque, a swimming pool, gym, auditorium and other facilities.
The Washington Times said it is laughable to think the mosque will not be associated with Ground Zero, because once it is built, and maybe before, Muslims will tout it's Ground Zero location and 9/11. Read the entire article here.
I recently had a conversation with my brothers about Shariah Finance. I realized that I did not remember all that I knew about the subject, and it was time for a refresher. I went back to a previous post, the last half of which is about our U.S. Treasury supporting Shariah Compliant Finance, through the Harvard Law School's Project on Islamic Finance leadership. A part of that post included the video below, with the transcription of the video first.
Shariah Finance - Jihad for Money
This is such an important subject. I see one of my family member's investments held in an institution offering Shariah Financing, and one of the holdings is in a Shariah compliant fund shown below.
Here the video from ACT for America and a transcription: (note that the video seems to be from the period of the Bush TARP bill - late 2008)
Hi, I'm Joy Brighton. As a former Wall Street trader, investment professor, a Democrat, and an American concerned for my country and way of life, I'm here to break the silence and tell you about more greed and negligence on Wall Street and in Washington. While you and the government focuses on the subprime mortgage collapse, there is another financial crisis brewing. The same disastrous formula - Wall Street and their lawyers are focusing on profits and not enough on risk, and Washington is paying little attention to what is going on.
It's called Shariah Islamic Finance, the newest, fastest growing financial market in the world, and oh yes, Wall Street is on board bigtime. So you ask what is Shariah Finance? Though Wall Street is focused on the money side of Shariah Finance, Shariah Law is the reason this market exists; Shariah Islamic Law, comprised of rules like Muslim women are the property of men, "polygamy, forced child marriages, death to homosexuals and the obligation to wage holy war or jihad against infidels.
There are rules for infidels like you and me. Either we convert to Islam, pay a protection tax or we are killed. Who practices such inhumane law? The governments of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Sudan, and radicals like the Taliban, and Al-Qaeda.
How did Shariah Finance become acceptable in the West? In the spirit of multiculturalism, political correctness, and greed gone way overboard, Wall Street has bought in to a multi-million dollar advertising campaign coming from the Middle East. We are being told that "quote, Muslims have religious banking requirements and if you create investments accord to Shariah Law, 1.2 billion Muslims, loaded with oil money, will beat a path to Wall Street. However, the majority of moderate Muslims worldwide, do not want anything to do with Shariah Law, or Shariah Finance.
Everyday Muslim leaders are warning about the dangers of Shariah Finance.
There is the Muslim Canadian Congress, American Islamic Forum for Democracy, Muslims Against Shariah and many other Muslim moderates in the West, but no one is listening. You see, Shariah banking was created by Sheiks like al-Qaradawi, a terrorist banned from entering the U.S. and Britain. Yet as I speak, al-Qardawi says:
"I like to call it jihad with money because God has ordered us to fight our enemies with our lives and our money. ~ Sheik Yousuf al-Qardawi
The danger of Shariah Finance is not only that it is welcoming Shariah Law into our society, but a percentage of this money must go to Islamic charities. The problem is that since September 11th, twenty-seven Islamic charities have been identified by the U.S. government as funders of terrorism. Yes, America needs investment dollars, but are we willing to trade national security for it? There are ways to accept oil money into our economy, and protect our democracy without opening ourselves up to Shariah Law.
New evidence shows that al-Qaeda financed 9/11/01 attacks with funds received from Shariah Financing. Let me tell you what Wall Street is doing: First, they are marketing Shariah investment as the hot new product for all American pension funds insurance companies and corporations; Second, they are hiring religious sheiks to sit on advisory boards overseeing where and how to invest dollars to comply with Shariah Law. This is giving Muslim sheiks a seat of power at corporate headquarters all over America. In essence, Wall Street is welcoming Islamic Law into our banking system.
What is Wall Street not doing? First, Wall Street is not disclosing the connection between Shariah Law, the Taliban al-Qaeda and Iran. Second, Wall Street is not telling customers of the jihadi background of the Shariah experts they are hiring.
Many of your are customers of these financial institutions that are offering Shariah bonds, mutual funds, hedge funds, and insurance as legitimate and ethical.

What is driving the Shariah banking craze? Money and lots of it. The Middle East takes in over $1 trillion a year in oil profits. This translates to billions of dollars lining the pockets of investment banks, law firms, insurance companies and consultants. Today lawyers and consulting firms are the key drivers of the Shariah banking craze. In fact, Harvard Law School just hosted their 8th Annual Islamic Banking Conference, where these firms learn that this market is very ethical and culturally important.
My colleagues were there. No one explained what Shariah Law is, it's link to terrorism and human rights abuses. Harvard Law is even teaching the U.S. Treasury about the opportunity of Islamic banking. I've had hedge fund managers and advisers to sovereign (inaudible) and bank CEOs say "if I don't do this deal, someone else will. Make it illegal and I'll stop doing it."
Maybe this all sounds crazy, but no more crazy than September 11th would have sounded on September 10th. No more crazy than our government needing to bailout our economy to the tune of $700 billion and the disasters at Bear Stearns, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Lehman Brothers.
You must wonder: Isn't someone telling the government about this? Yes we have. Over the past year my colleagues have sat down with top officials at the Security and Exchange Commissions, US Treasury, Attorney Generals offices, aides to Pres Bush and CEOs of banks.
We have provided them with detailed documentation. The response from the Treasury Department:
"I don't know what Shariah Law is, but it can't possibly be what you say it is."
Another senior Treasury official said:
"We are not responsible for disclosure or transparency."
The SEC said:
"Wall Street is disclosing. They are saying that these religious investments can't invest in alcohol or pork."
So let me ask you, how would you react if your pension fund invested in an ethical, no alcohol mutual fund, and then you discover that there is a relationship between your investment and terrorists killing U.S. soldiers and civilians.
In my opinion, that is securities and consumer fraud. We are selling our soul and our security for money. We have no time to waste. We the people must rise up and stop this.
(The end of the video is about joining ACT for America's effort to stop Shariah Finance. ACT is an excellent and effective organization. Just follow the ACT link above)

Very high-quality photos surfaced of 9/11 mastermind Ramzi bin al-Shibh. They have the look of carefully groomed and positioned 'glamor shots,' somewhat like I had made of my Mom and me for Mother's Day one year. The story is that the International Red Cross took the photos to send home to the folks. Interesting that our donations to the Red Cross would go to pay for this absurdity. A Polaroid would have worked just fine, and yes Polaroids are still in production.
When our men are captured, we get a headshot - the head separated from the body. Surely these glamor shots must have bothered the soul of someone in the International Red Cross, who says the photos are now the property of the families (at the expense of the good people around the world).
We are told there photos of the subject looking very healthy, at peace, praying, smiling, holding the Koran - no signs of torture.
Update 8-17-10: Additional photos have been released. It's comforting to know that the bin al-Shibh family feels much better now. Has this been done for everyone at Gitmo? Inquiring minds want to know.
Want to see just how close to the downed World Trade Towers the Islamic Victory mosque will be? Take a look at this visual of the decimated buildings and a red border around the Burlington Coat Factory, the planned site of the mosque at Ground Zero and hallowed ground. Thanks to Opus#6 at American Perspective via Amusing Bunni's Musings, who are asking that this photo go viral, so please take it and pass it around.
Update 8-16-10: There has been a lot of talk about the landing gear of a 9/11 attack plane landing inside the Burlington Coat Factory. I left it out of my original article here because there are some vehemently denying that any part of a airplane ended up inside the Burlington Coat Factory. But I did find a New York Times article dated July 13th, 2010 which confirms that indeed the landing gear assembly did "crash through the roof of what was than a Burlington Coat Factory. Why would I believe the NYT when I seldom do? Because if they can find a way to support this Victory Mosque, I think they will do it and this confirmation shows just how close the building is to Ground Zero.
Nothing like a mosque in Manhattan full of thousands of Arab men who think marrying girls of six to nine years of age is just fine. This video shows a Hamas mass wedding, a long line of grown men holding a little girl's hand - she all dressed in white - no clue of her abhorrent future. The creepy imam explains that Muslims use Muhammad's marriage to Aisha as the example to follow. Muhammad married Aisha when she was six and had sex with her when she was nine years old. Thousands of Arab men will gather in the Grand Zero mosque and "community center." If you think these despicable behaviors do not follow the mosque-dwellers to the U.S., you are naive. If you think these men aren't ecstatic at the thought of sleeping with a nine year old, because the Prophet did it, you are dishonest. It's what civil people call pedophilia.

A strange white tarp (not TARP) is covering the West Wing of the White House. Just kidding, of course, about the mosque, but.... Remember Libya's Moammar Gaddafi wanting to pitch a tent in Central Park? Maybe he's coming to visit. This view is said to be taken from the Rose Garden.
West Wing Floor Plan
The West Wing is the section of the White House that houses all of the official offices of the President. By the way, did you know that Katie Johnson is Obama's "personal secretary." Before taking the position with Obama, Johnson worked for Rahm Emanuel for two years as his special assistant.
Anjem Choudary, a born-in-Britain Muslim, living in London, admits that Islam is not a religion of peace...it is a religion of submission and jihad. Odd that we are in agreement with a Muslim leader. See the video below.
Anjem Choudary
It is an ideology that you struggle for and die for, says Chowdery. Terrorism analyst, Erick Stakelbeck, says there is "an ignorance" of Islam. This is profoundly true. We need to pray that our churches and our Congress understand this truth.
Take a look at this video of a 10-year-old being converted to Islam. One Western teenager standing behind the boy, laughing, as this takes place - no parents, no Western adults. The kid hasn't a clue, as Muslims off-camera cry-out in praise to something. Along with conversion, the video has Anjem Choudary explaining why Islam is not a religion of peace. Here's a quote from his website:
"It is he (Allah) who has sent his Messenger (saw) with guidance and religion of truth, in order for it t be dominant over all others ways of life, even though the Mushrikoon (disbelievers) dislike it." [EMQ 9.33]
Our American Congress must wake-up, sit-up and take notes, because the president will not. Those in Congress who understand the truth about Islam and it's purpose in the U.S. must start talking about it, loud and often.
Anjem Choudary: Islam is not a Religion of Peace (video)
Newt Gingrich is currently doing a good job denouncing jihad and its supporters, but I remember before the election when he refused to say that Obama might have Islamic leanings, or that he might be sympathetic to Islam...although we "nobodies" out here knew it and backed it up with facts. Nevertheless, yesterday Newt gave a quote to the NYT saying he is not surprised that this president panders to Islam and has done so by defending the plans for the Ground Zero mosque.
“There is nothing surprising in the president’s continued pandering to radical Islam,” he said. “What he said last night is untrue and in accurate. The fact is this is not about religious liberty.”
Mr. Gingrich said the proposed mosque would be a symbol of Muslim “triumphalism” and that building the mosque near the site of the Sept. 11 attacks “would be like putting a Nazi sign next to the Holocaust Museum.”
“It’s profoundly and terribly wrong,” he said.
House Minority Leader, John Boehner (R-OH) is also lambasting Obama's endorsement of the mega-mosq, saying Obama's comments are "deeply troubling." Rep. Peter King (R-NY) says while the Muslims involved in erecting the mosque have the right to do so, it "offends too many people." From King:
The right and moral thing for President Obama to have done was to urge Muslim leaders to respect the families of those who died and move their mosque away from Ground Zero. Unfortunately the president caved into political correctness."
I don't think Obama bowed to political correctness. I believe his comments, which were more or less spit-out, chin-in-air, were combative. If he cared about the offensive nature of this 'place of worship,' he could have acknowledge the right to build it, then suggested that doing so is so painful for so many, that moving it to another location would be wise. But, he didn't do that. Not surprising! Thanks to JihadWatch.
Barack Obama hosted the iftar Ramadan dinner tonight at the White House and said Muslims have every right to build a mosque at Ground Zero, which he agreed is "hallowed ground."

He cited the right of all Americans to practice their religion, but did not mention that an Islamic mosque is a place to worship a god that demands that you and I be subject to Koranic fundamentals. How convenient to forget that Islam is far more than a so-called religion - it is a tyrannical and murderous way of ordering life.
Islam shares nothing with America. Muslims who come to this country are not free to worship as they please. The Koran dictates who and when a Muslim worships. How ridiculous and sad is it to pretend otherwise? Thanks to Larwyn.
Joel Demos is running for the U.S. House seat for Minnesota's 5th Congressional District. In my opinion, this is one of the most important races in country. Demos is challenging incumbent Muslim congressman, Keith Ellison (D-Minn-5th). See a video below.

Joel is especially concerned about rising taxes and the "engine" of small business owners. He wants health care reform, but wants an affordable program that does not decrease the quality of care for Americans. He is a fiscal conservative with a background in the financial sector in banking, lending and real estate. Read more about Joel on The Issues here.
The incumbent, Keith Ellison, on the other hand, is a "far-left" Progressive, and keeping with the Democrat mantra, has never met an entitlement he didn't like. He voted with Democrats 96.9 percent of the time.
Demos has a mountain to climb in this race, as Ellison received almost 71 percent of the vote in the 2008 election. Ellison is the first Muslim elected to Congress, followed by Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN-7th).
Ellison converted to Islam at age 19. He is supported by Louis Farrakhan's Nation of Islam, and has close associations to the Counsel on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the Muslim-American Society (MSA), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim Brotherhood and the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT). Read details of these Islamic connections here.
Ellison also writes under the alias "Keith Hakim." He evaded paying income taxes for five years - had liens placed on his property and eventually paid $25,000 to settle the tax evasion. He failed to pay parking tickets and moving violations and had his driver's license suspended "multiple" times. Still yet, he won a seat in the People's House. Read about Ellison at DiscoverTheNetworks.
Joe Demos has received the important endorsement of conservative Governor Tim Pawlenty's Freedom First Political Action Committee and the GOP.
Demos is married to Jenny, and they have two small children. His parents were American missionaries. His grandmother was the Mayor of Roseville, Minnesota for ten years. His grandfather served in the Korean War and World War II.
As I said, this is an important race. Keith Ellison has traveled to Saudi Arabia for the Hajj with a trip paid for by the Muslim Brotherhood. There is nothing about Islam that is Democratic or appreciative of a people's Republic.
Be comforted that a donation to Joel Demos will be an important step in removing Keith Ellison from Congress. Demos is a worthy conservative candidate, but he cannot do it without financing. Remember things have changed: "politics" are no longer local. Every Democrat vote across the country affects you in Des Moines, your sister in Dallas or my family in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
