During the hajj, CAIR wants you to know your rights!

Raise the terror alert it's another muslim holy day. As muslims go off to their hajj this year, CAIR wants everyone to be aware of your rights while flying. The latest whine-o-gram is intended to remind pilgrims of their rights and this year CAIR offers a toll-free 'hotline' (1-800-784-7526) so offended muslims can report airport profiling incidents.

They've also compiled a handy dandy pocket guide for American muslims. This little booklet has helpful hints from everything on writting a letter to the editor and knowing your muslim employee rights to reacting to anti-muslim hate crimes.

There's one thing CAIR forgot to inform fellow RoP followers, flying is a privilege, not a right. In this post 9/11 world, we need to profile. Not racial or religious profile, but terrorist profile. There is a difference.

Shock of the day: Emerson lecture to be protested

It seems free speech does not apply to terrorism expert Steven Emerson. His lecture "The Grand Deception: Militant Islam, the Media and the West," is scheduled for 7:30 tonight (Monday). Emerson is the author of the 2002 bestseller "American Jihad: The Terrorists Living Among Us" and founder and executive director of The Investigative Project, which keeps a database of intelligence on islamic and middle eastern terrorist groups. I also encourage you visit his blog, Counterterrorism Blog.org, where an "A" list of expert contributors opine on the threat among us.
A lecture on radical islamic infiltration of America at the Tucson Jewish Community Center will be protested by the usual suspects, islamists and western useful idiots. According to literature promoting his talk, Emerson is expected to speak about how militant islamic individuals and groups have insinuated themselves into western society. He contends that islamist extremists living in the U.S. often pretend to be moderate while secretly carrying out a terrorist agenda in funding, organizing and coordinating the activities of radical islamic groups. No wonder CAIR is hoping to suppress this orator. We'll see if the Emerson lecture will be canceled amid pressure by fringe muslim groups like the Women in Black.

Silencing opposing views is a full-time job for many muslim activists including the MSA at Brown University.

Nonie Darwish, "Now They Call Me Infidel" author, was scheduled to speak about the twisted hatred and radicalism she grew to despise in her own culture. But the event was canceled. Brown University campus group, Hillel, had originally extended the offer then buckled under the pressure put on them by the muslim student association. It appears Darwish's comments are "too controversial" and muslim students insisted she be denied a platform at Brown. Hillel claims they didn't want to upset its "beautiful relationship" with the muslim community.

Interesting? Brown has no problem hosting anti-Israel events such as Palestinian Solidarity Week without anyone being offended. It seems the politically correct thing to do is bash America and educate infidels. The corruption of academic standards and lack of intellectual openness run rampant among our most elite colleges and universities. Dissenting views used to be encouraged on American campuses, now it appears exploiting the most radical positions and suppressing the voices of those who hold conservative opinions has become customary. Under the guise of multiculturalism we're ushered into a shade of grey where good and evil no longer exist.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow....

This is the view from the office (also known as the computer room) of "Nuggets of News" in NEO. We've been under a "winter storm watch" since Wednesday evening. The "snow belt", which is east of Cleveland, is expecting 12-16 inches and the rest of us can expect to receive 6-10 inches.

As we look out though my dinning room siding door and check my "deck meter" it appears we're approaching the 6 to 8 inch mark. Since Hershey has been blessed with Beagle and not Lab legs, we'll have to take him out though the garage to do his business.

Its 21 degrees with slight flurries as the forecasters suspend the storm watch. (They say) We can expect to see clearing sky's with peaks of sun and diminishing snow. Well, not from my perspective. But that's OK, I am one of the few people who absolutely love the snow and the nastier the better. I love a blizzard!

Fitness USA vs. CAIR....again

This past April I had a post about Fitness USA and their run in with CAIR. That time it was over the right some (RoP) members thought they had to exercise in complete freedom from the opposite sex. Of course CAIR got involved and Fitness USA caved.

In November my post titled "Throw imama from the plane" illustrated the American vigilance on the war on terror by reporting suspicious behavior. The behavior by 6 imams traveling by plane and completing their obligatory evening prayer in the airport terminal was not what got them tossed off the flight. Their behavior on the aircraft caught the attention of passengers and led to their removal.

What do these two posts have in common? CAIR, praying, Fitness USA and intolerance. Now it seems muslims believe they have the right to pray anywhere unmolested, while flipping the finger to the rest of America. It seems Fitness USA is going up against CAIR once again because a woman was interrupted during one of her obligatory prayer times at the gym. The details are vague and only says the muslim woman was offended. CAIR was there, Johnning on the spot, to asist her in her time of need, assuring that her rights were violated. With total disregard for her fellow patrons, this woman (and other muslims) believes she has no responsibility for her actions. Acting with complete impunity, these people (of faith) act like the own the joint (America) and want us to conform to their culture.

My fellow blogger, Malott, had a great post on this same topic. To quote Chris, let me say; So bring out the cartoons, interrupt the prayers, and throw Imam(a) from the plane. We will not be intimidated. Our laws will not be infected with Sharia. We will not be colonized.

I, too, will not be colonized or marched into dhimmitude. These people aren't looking for the same rights as everyone else in this great nation, they're looking for special rights. Are they special or does the religion that encompasses their lives make them feel inferior? The victim mentality comes from a forced failure to assimilate to their host country and culture. If I had to be covered from head to toe, couldn't drive, work or talk to a man who I wasn't related to I, too, would want ALL women in this country to be just like me. If I can't be like them (American women) I'd be beating a path to every CAIR office in America.

Dennis Prager in CAIR cross-hairs

CAIR released a "FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE" whine-o-gram today urging the dismissal of Prager from his United States Holocaust Memorial Council position due to his "bigoted, intolerant and divisive views" referring to a November 28, 2006 column. In the article titled, "America, Not Keith Ellison, decides what book a congressman takes his oath on" Prager gave his opinion about Keith Ellison's decision to take his oath of office on a koran. The comments aren't hateful or bigoted. If you read it you'll see he makes a lot of sense. If you allow the koran, what happens if we elect a member of the church of scientology, does he bring "Dianetics" to the swearing in ceremony? How about the Nazi party member, would "Mein Kampf" be used? A point should be noted that in no way is he comparing the koran to either of these books or islam to those systems of belief. Prager tries to make the point that the Bible has been the foundation by which this nation was created and to deny this is to deny our history.

President Bush recently appointed Prager to the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, the governing board of the museum, for the remainder of a five year term expiring January 15, 2011. In a letter sent to Council Chairman Fred S. Zeidman, CAIR wrote

'No one who holds such bigoted, intolerant and divisive views should be in a policymaking position at a taxpayer-funded institution that seeks to educate Americans about the destructive impact hatred has had, and continues to have, on every society. As a presidential appointee, Prager's continued presence on the council would send a negative message to Muslims worldwide about America's commitment to religious tolerance."

Again, the whine-o-gram gives the contact information to which angered muslims could send "polite" letters of concern. I don't see how the position Prager holds could be connected to his views on Keith Ellisons decision to use the koran. The election of a muslim, in and of itself, concerns me and I pray the voters in the Gopher state wake up in 6 years. The middle east is closely monitoring this controversy and I wonder where's Ellison's loyalty, to the United States of America or to islam.

Pig races used to show mosque is not welcome

How could someone be offended by these cuddly pink slabs of salty breakfast meats? These are stars in the making just like Seabiscuit and Secretariat. Well, the Katy islamic association doesn't and told the owner, Craig Baker, to pack up and move, saying "a mosque and a marble shop didn't go too good together." The islamic association denies the comment was made and claims they came into the community with open arms.
Besides fear of the unknown, residents have raised concerns over how this mosque will look and effect property values. Parking, traffic congestion and drainage issues are all going to be addressed with the county. Even though no permits have been applied for, construction on a parking lot has already started. Yep, we muslims don't want to cause any problems here. Craig Baker said the pig races will begin before the end of the year. I will bring the results to you as soon as I get the whine-o-gram.

Pig races to deter mosque

I love the American "can-do" attitude. When someone tries to muscle you out of your land they get the message loud and clear. The folks doing the muscling are, of course, the victim-hood minded members of the religion of peace. Baker Road in Katy Texas has 2 big signs, one announcing a mosque is coming. The other (I just love this) advertises Friday night pig races. Besides traffic and drainage issues, the residents believe a mosque will be disruptive to the 15 homes that surround the plot of land purchased by the Katy islamic association. Craig Baker, whose family named the road, owns pigs and plans to race them every Friday night if the mosque is built. Baker also claims KIA tried to pressure him into selling his home shortly after purchasing the land. KIA said they did no such thing and the pig races would be "a slap in the face." Baker said the pig races are intended to send a message that he's not budging from his home. As of this writing, there's been no date set for the mosque ground breaking or the first pig race.

Glenn Beck in the CAIR cross-hairs

I used to be a regular Glenn Beck listener during his 3 or 4 year run in the Cleveland area and found him to be brutally honest about himself and the issues of our time. A Florida radio host who brought Terri Schiavo into the national spotlight years before the famous cable television death watch. Beck organized rallies and helped raise money for the family's legal battle with her husband. When the war in Afghanistan started, Beck held rallies in many of his syndicate cities, including the Cleveland rally which I attended in sub-zero weather. Telling the millions of listeners about his mothers suicide, his drinking problem that brought about a divorce from his first wife, his special needs daughter and the faith that helped turn his life around. All of his listeners really got a look at the man behind the microphone.

The Glenn Beck special broadcast on CNN, Exposed: The Extremist Agenda, is now the target of CAIR and Media Matters. After his appearance on Good Morning America, Media Matters condemns Diane Sawyer for her introduction, calling Beck "television and talk-radio host ... who has said it's time for the world to stop buckling to the pressure of radical Islam." without mentioning he's a conservative. Now that's damning isn't it. I watched the special Beck hosted and found it to be very revealing and in line with everything I've heard and read about radical islam. Spinning apocalyptic impunity by interjecting Becks faith (he's a Mormon) is taking the focus off the real issue, radical islam and muslim hate around the world. Nationwide, islamic panties are in bunch because Diane Sawyer didn't identify Beck as a "self-identified conservative who has a history of making derogatory statements about Islam and Muslims" is more victim mentality. I'm sorry, but there's problem with islam that can only be corrected from within. When muslims finally remove the vial of denial and address the fanatical crisis, maybe then we'll see global tranquility. We are slowly moving toward an inability to critique islam by threat of violence.

Turkey welcomes the Pope

Yes, Turkey is a fine example of a "secular" islamic state. At the last minute, a visit to the Blue Mosque, was added to the itinerary. The first step toward papal dhimmitude, following the rest of Europe into the abyss.

Throw "imama" from the plane.....

As this story continues to develop, it seems it was intentionally executed to draw more attention to the "profiling problem" in this country. The fear and prejudice is real and by acting in a manner that would draw out this fear. Asking for seat belt extensions, standing up in unison, and praying shortly after boarding a plane is not a first amendment right, not after 9/11. This is a case of "yelling fire in a crowded theater" plain and simple. These "men of faith" concocted this plan in order to fabricate a "civil rights violation" lawsuit. If allowed to go to trial, it will surely be a circus. These innocent imams were only exercising their right to religious freedom.

Omar Shahin, spokesman for the humiliated imams, is affiliated with the "Kind Hearts" charity, a Hamas linked organization, shut down by the US Treasury Department. This Omar Shahin is also on record expressing doubt that Muslims were behind the 9/11 attacks. Over at Jihad Watch, Robert Spencer has more info about this fellow RoP follower. There's much more to this story, we just have to dig a little deeper. As the saga continues, I'll post new developments.
