CAIR calls for an investigation…..

into the Detroit jihadi imam shooting. This is the whine-o-gram CAIR sent out to the RoP faithful and the pay-to-play PR Newswire.


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Muslim Coalition Calls for Probe Into FBI Shooting Death of Mich. Muslim
American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and Elections asks FBI not to link case to Islam


(WASHINGTON, D.C., 10/30/09) - The American Muslim Taskforce on Civil Rights and
Elections (AMT), a coalition of major national Islamic organizations, is calling for an independent investigation into the death of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah, who was shot and killed by the FBI on Wednesday in Detroit during raids in which a number of individuals were arrested on charges unrelated to terrorism.

AMT is also calling on the FBI not to link the raids or the allegations against the suspects to the Islamic faith.

In a statement, the Muslim coalition said: “It is imperative that an independent investigation of Imam Luqman Ameen Abdullah’s death make public the exact circumstances in which he died. And unless the FBI has evidence linking the criminal allegations to the religious affiliation of the suspects, we ask that federal authorities stop injecting religion into this case. The unjustified linkage of this case to the faith Islam will only serve to promote an increase in existing anti-Muslim stereotyping and bias in our society.”
*Editors Note; I'm sure the evidence linking this "imam" and his merry band of jihadis coreligionist will show that islam played no part what-so-ever in their terrorist tendencies. And the rampant anti-muslim bigotry in this nation will cease as soon as the findings are made public. The peaceful nature of islam will be reaffirmed as a result of this investigation. *sarcasm off*

AMT is also urging the Congressional Tri-Caucus (Black, Latino, and Asian) to
call
for a judicial inquiry.

In keeping with its charter, AMT works for civil rights of all Americans and plans to hold a series of meetings across the United States, culminating in a civil rights summit in Washington, D.C., to address growing civil and human rights concerns of seven to eight million American Muslims.

*Editors Note; A variable who's who of unindicted coconspirators and members of the "National Support Committee for cop killer imam Jamil" calling for an investigation. Supporting jihadis and other murdering, ex-con, convert scum is part of the ummah creed.


AMT is an umbrella organization that includes American Muslim Alliance (AMA), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Muslim Alliance in North America (MANA), MAS-Freedom, Muslim Student Association-National (MSA-N), Muslim Ummah of North America (MUNA), and United Muslims of America (UMA). Its observer organizations include American Muslims for Civic Engagement (AMCE), Islamic Educational Council of Orange County (IECOC), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC).

CAIR identifies moles...

CAIR’s Nihad Awad penned an op-ed in response to the growing congressional scrutiny when four republican representatives asked the House Sergeant at Arms to investigate the muslim civil rights organization. In typical CAIR fashion the op-ed was an attack piece drawing the readers away from the real issue. Awad recounts an incident involving a CAIR intern and a group of "islam-bashers" on Capitol Hill.

“Are you a believer?” asked the participant in a Capitol Hill gathering of Islamophobes and Muslim-bashers who -- according to conference materials -- were seeking to promote “freedom of speech and religion.”
When CAIR’s intern answered, “Yes, of course,” the conference participant -- whose card indicated he works for “Encountering Islam Christian Ministry” and obviously thinking “believer” meant something other than Muslim -- replied, “Good, because we want to cut their [Muslims’] necks off.”
Just one hour later, the officially-registered intern was asked to leave the conference, which was held in the U.S. Congressional Auditorium, because “some of the panel members do not feel comfortable with you being here.”


Playing the perpetual victim is one way to deviate from the real concern. By garnering sympathy for the fictitious offence CAIR transfers focus to the accusers. In this case it’s the muslim “moles” infiltrating the Capitol Hill intern program. Well as fate would have it, CAIR identified two moles “who purchased tickets for the banquet”. Christine Brim "a hijab-clad representative of an anti-Islam group" and "counterterrorism consultant" John Cosgrove, who are in CAIR’s opinion, “notorious Islamophobes with histories of Muslim-bashing and associations with hate groups.”


By pointing out the bias one RoP intern supposedly experienced and then exposing the anti-islam moles in their midst, CAIR expects to end the congressional investigation in its tracks. The editorial is disconnected and doesn’t tackle the issues plaguing CAIR. Awad throws one insult and accusation after another in an attempt to connect the republican congressmen, the Center for Security Policy, P. David Gaubatz and the Nation Federation of Republican Women to this islamophobia machine.

CAIR Banquet; Pulling out all the stops!


During the past week I’ve been inundated with CAIR banquet whine-o-grams. Everything from bribing me with a free koran and reminding me that “past dinners have been sold out events and tickets may be unavailable if you don’t reserve yours today”, to announcing the all-star islamo-apologist lineup of speakers planning to attend this year.


Those slated to grace the muslim mafia with their presence; Jesse “Hymietown” Jackson, Paul “dare to speak out against Israel Findley, Imam Mahdi Bray and 1993 WTC bombing unindicted coconspirator imam Siraj Wahhaj. What a stellar cast of anti-American, anti-Israel, race hustlers and jihad supporters. But it gets even better. The latest “celebrity” planning to perform at the 15th annual terror funding fest CAIR Banquet is comedian Ahmed Ahmed.


Yes, if this doesn’t compel one to purchase a family table for $1000.00 I don’t know what would!

Maddow to CAIR's rescue; ROUND 2

Fear mongering, professional bigots? And to top it off this liberal lemming apologizes to Khan at the conclusion of the segment.

Maddow to CAIR's rescue

Rachel Maddow "exposes" anti-muslim bias. Thanks Rachel, we'll see how that burka interferes with your "reporting" in a few years.


Cue the CAIR victim card....

Well, you knew this was coming down the pike. With the release of Muslim Mafia and a call by 4 congressmen to investigate, CAIR pulls out the victim card. Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR communications director, tells The Hill of a “death threat” fax received at their DC headquarters. The fax had a picture of a gallows with this quote; 'Muslim Neanderthal Dougie Hooper (AKA Ibrahim Hooper) will be soon hanged for treason against the United States’.

Now I have a problem with this whole fax death threat. I’ve been following CAIR for a while and if this had a shred of veracity CAIR would have the FBI on the case in a New York minute. I would like to know why The Hill didn’t ask to see the death fax. Second, this is bigger news than the “throw the imams from the plane” case and it's not being reported. Strange, don't you think?

A quick google search yields ONE news source reporting this story. Now, to be honest, PR Newswire is also reporting on the threat and links to a copy of the dreaded fax. PR Newswire is the pay-to-play media marketing distributor CAIR often uses to get the word out with the hope it’ll be picked up by real news outlets.

Donning the cloak of victimhood is a CAIR trademark. From intimidating dissenting authors, religious leaders, government officials, books, talk show hosts, pundits, corporations and former muslims to soliciting the ummah for the smallest slight to boost their islamophobia annual report, the tactic is the same. Islam is under attack and muslims are being denied the special rights CAIR is so diligently fighting to obtain. In this case CAIR turns the tables to deflect interest in the real issue, the undeniable evidence pointing to a nefarious agenda.

A response to jojomellon....

Commenter, jojomellon, left a lengthy remark on my “I survived…..” post. First of all I would like to thank him for taking the time to comment and for his continued patronage to Nuggets of News.

The gracious jojomellon questioned the sincerity of my dilemma, citing passages from the book of Deuteronomy, claiming I “pick and pull only the parts of the bible that you want to follow…” I’m sure, given the time, jojomellon could have listed many more laws in the Old Testament we Christians (and many Jews), no longer follow.

And, if jojomellon is who I think he is, then he knows exactly why we don’t obey these laws. If he doesn’t, then that could only mean one thing, he didn’t pay attention in Theology class. But, for the sake of argument, I’ll suppose jojomellon is truly anonymous and explain the simplicity of my faith. Christ Jesus has fulfilled many of the Mosaic Laws. Those laws that pointed forward to the coming of the Messiah - and once He came, they were no longer needed. The same way we no longer need animal sacrifices by the Temple Priests to atone for our sins.

Does this mean we don’t have to obey ANY of the laws of Moses? Obviously not. Those laws teach us how seriously God regards sin and what it cost Him to make our salvation possible.

Answering the question why I don’t support gay marriage is quite simple. I believe it’s a sin and, if allowed to become main-stream, will cause a greater moral decay.

Thanks again for your comment, jojomellon, and I hope to see you soon.

CAIR ridicules muslim spy claim

Today’s whine-o-gram contains an article from Politico where 4 republican congressmen {John Shadegg (Ariz.), Paul Broun (Ga.), Trent Franks (Ariz.) and Sue Myrick (N.C.)} "formally asked the House Sergeant at Arms to launch an investigation of the Center for (Council on) American-Islamic Relations. They accused CAIR, a non profit group, of trying to infiltrate Capitol Hill with interns and staffers."

In true CAIR fashion the character assassination began at once targeting the author of "Muslim Mafia: Inside the Secret Underworld that's Conspiring to Islamize America," Dave Gaubatz a former federal agent. Here's what the practioners of the RoP have to say about Gaubatz;


Along with his past rhetorical attacks on
CAIR, Dave Gaubatz has called President Obama a “crack head” and wrote that “a
vote for Hussein Obama is a vote for Sharia Law.”


He has defamed Islam’s Prophet Muhammad,
calling him a “loser” and writing that the “prophet will look at my dog and kiss
him.” In a post on the blog of a Muslim critic, the hate blogger wrote: “I
recommend to my friends and others to watch my dog lead the prayer services [at
a Washington-area mosque].”


The hate blogger has also called Islam a
“terminal disease that once spread is hard to destroy.”


CAIR noted that the blogger is a former
employee of the racist group Society of Americans for National Existence (SANE).
On its now members-only website, SANE offered a policy proposal that would make
it illegal to be a Muslim: “Whereas, adherence to Islam as a Muslim is prima
facie evidence of an act in support of the overthrow of the US. [sic] Government
through the abrogation, destruction, or violation of the US Constitution and the
imposition of Shari’a on the American People…It shall be a felony punishable by
20 years in prison to knowingly act in furtherance of, or to support the,
adherence to Islam.”


In explaining why he seeks to infiltrate
mosques and Islamic institutions nationwide, the hate blogger who targeted CAIR
wrote on the SANE web site: ‘…the real answer to Why is the fact that in this
country, our government and its myriad of agencies and bureaucracies have
determined that a priori Islam itself is NOT the evil ideology it in fact
is.”


SANE’s web site once contained the following
white supremacist language as part of its mission statement: “America is a
unique people bound together through a commitment to America’s Judeo-Christian
moral foundation and to an enduring faith and trust in G-d and in His
Providence…America was the handiwork of faithful Christians, mostly men, and
almost entirely white, who ventured from Europe to create a nation in their
image of a country existing as free men under G-d.”


Other articles on the SANE website made
other racist statements that questioned the right of African-Americans and women
to vote: “There is a reason the founding fathers did not give women or black
slaves the right to vote,’ and ‘Race matters and affects your intelligence. Jews
are the smartest white people around. Orientals smarter than Whites. Latinos
next. Then Blacks.”


Another SANE article stated: “Is there
something unique about the Black American (or, at least the Black New Yorker)
that leads him to murder so disproportionately and to most often kill and
victimize his own?”


I think CAIR is all jacked up because Gaubatz personally served Nihad Awad the subpoena at CAIR's 2008 banquet.



The congressmen’s concerns are not without merit, in a strategy document obtained by Politico; CAIR’s own agenda is laid out in black and white. “We will develop national initiatives such as lobby day and placing muslim interns in Congressional offices.”

Vince Flynn, the latest book!

Released yesterday, October 13, 2009. I received the confirmation email at 12.01am informing me that my copy had shipped. I can't wait!

NY: "muslim panties in a bunch" alert....

Yesterday’s whine-o-gram highlights the plight of New York City muslims after suspected terrorist, Najibullah Zazi, was arrested in Colorado. Community activists gathered on Saturday to accuse the FBI and NYPD of racial profiling.




Several people speaking Saturday afternoon at a news conference cautioned authorities against profiling Muslims in their probe of an alleged bomb plot with links to Al Qaeda.

The suspect, Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan immigrant who worked in Denver and New York City, is being held without bond in New York. The friend, Naiz Khan, (And here’s the money quote) befriended Zazi 10 years ago at a mosque.


What I find amazing is how these RoP faithful refuse to recognize the malignancy in their community. Racial or religious profiling is not the problem; the problem exists in the ummah. Self-policing seems to be non-existent especially when the imam lets the suspect know he’s wanted by the FEDS. So much for that whole inclusion and good neighbor concept.


When CAIR calls the local police or FBI office because a mosque window has been broken or graffiti is sprayed on the outside of the building, then it’s advantageous for increased surveillance. It’s immediately called a hate crime and demands are made to involve the FBI. But keep those Geiger counters and bomb sniffing dogs away from our houses of worship. And don’t you even think of secondary security screening when a nervous, middle-eastern male between the age of 18 and 40 tries to board a plane. That’s racial profiling, just because 19 of their coreligionists murdered 3000 Americans and many more abroad is no reason to single out an entire religion. Certainly not the religion of peace.

Right???

CAIR; Getting Desperate

The 15th annual, unindicted terror coconspirators, CAIR banquet is scheduled for October 24th in Arlington Virginia. I just received an email informing the faithful if they register online by October 9th, they’ll receive a FREE koran.

The “share the quran” promo CAIR launched earlier this summer isn't working as well as they had planned. It appears many of those korans are still sitting in the DC warehouse. A quick glance at the CAIR website dedicated to the project shows little progress. Back in mid-August I posted a screen-shot of the donations, seven weeks later the unindicted terror coconspirators were only able to raise an additional $10,000.00 to distribute those warehoused korans to public officials.


This whine-o-gram leads me to believe not only are project donations down, additionally the banquet attendee response must be low as well. If you need an incentive to bring out your supporters, it tells me something is amiss among the organization. And a side note, those who take the koran bait will receive their holy book at the event.

Also, if you look at the monthly donations (upper right hand corner of the home page) you’ll see those are down as well. Maybe muslims in America realize they have it pretty damn good here and don’t want CAIR screwing it up.

I ordered mine......


I would like to think my pre-sale purchase helped move this book to number one on Amazon, but it was already there before I placed my order.
All I can say is, "Run Baby, Run!"

I survived.....

Well, I survived the “reception” yesterday and I have a few observations.
I am not a homophobe, I am tolerant and attending did not compromise my values.

It was with much trepidation I attended the “same-sex” reception on Saturday, and while I was not uncomfortable, I was not alone in my views. When the happy couple made speeches Nick and I were not the only ones NOT applauding their commitment. I also noticed many offered “best wishes” as opposed to “congratulations” in the receiving line.

The atmosphere was more birthday party-esque with assigned family seating. We did enjoy ourselves, which had more to do with the company we kept than the event itself. Those folks I had no interest in getting to know better were still the obnoxious blowhards I’d avoided at past company and private functions. The couple was gracious, and at the same time, displayed a vitriolic self-assurance in the eventual recognition of their union in the State of Ohio.

Lessons learned; I can be tolerant and respectful without compromising my morals, faith and values. I am NOT alone. We found many like-minded folks in attendance. Militant liberals have an agenda and social conservatives are much more tolerant and charitable. Again, these are only my observations and not a scientific study. I didn’t try to impose my beliefs on other attendees, but the same could not be said of the opposition.

Am I a better person for my respectful attendance? I don’t know, anyone who knows me will tell you I don't think all that highly of myself to begin with. I’m human, a sinner and fall short of Our Lords grace. While I was able to see people as individuals and not part of a group or an exploitative special interest, something in the back of my mind continued to bother me. Could my mere attendance be misconstrued and infer acceptance?

This just in....CHI-TOWN denied!

The IOC has announced Rio de Janeiro will host the 2016 Olympic Games.

BHO, Michelle and Oprah were knocked out in the first round of voting. I wonder how the malignant-narcissist-in-chief is feeling right about now. What a blow to his ego…..

And what a waste of taxpayer money, not to mention the disappointment to the kids.

Blog Fodder; A personal dilemma

It’s been a very busy 4 weeks. What have I been up to? Well, two trips to South Carolina, a visit from my brother and sister-in-law, Christopher was in yet another car accident and a weekend visit from my niece and her fiancĂ©. Now it appears we won’t have a free weekend until November.

Tomorrow, Nick and I will be attending a “reception” for one of his coworkers. October 10th we will travel to Cleveland for a family wedding. And various work commitments Nick has to perform the last two weekends of the month ensure minimal down time.

The event we’re attending tomorrow is something I’ve been struggling with for about two months. You see, it’s a same-sex couple. Over the summer they were “married” in another state where it is legal and recognized.

While looking for wedding cards for our family member I came across a plethora of civil union and same-sex wedding cards. Columbus has a sizable gay community so I wasn’t all that shocked to see them stocked between the birthday and sympathy card section. However, I couldn’t bring myself to purchase one. I left with 2 wedding cards, one from Nick and me and one for Christopher (incase he forgets). A gift card in a small gift bag with an inscription on the tag; “Best Wishes, Nick and Janice” should suffice. It’s the best I could muster and at the same time I feel like a hypocrite.

I just traveled 555 miles to “celebrate” my best friend’s 40th birthday. Like I’ve stated before, we are polar opposites on many issues and I don’t condone a lot of her actions. I’ve confronted her, as she has done to me, regarding questionable deeds clearly outside our character. Yet we’ve never questioned our lifestyle choices.

I suppose I’m trying to reconcile the character of this couple and their lifestyle. Like my best friend, we differ on many issues. On the other hand I have found them to be hospitable, friendly and decent people. In spite of that I still can’t rejoice, honor or venerate their union.
