    From The INBOX: Al Qaeda in the UK

    Posted by Andy on 5th March 2008

    Got this one tonight in my email.

    http://lionheartuk.blogspot.com/

    Click the above link to see the threat of Al Qaeda in Britain.

    Here’s a CNN clip on that site all must see.

    I’m a Catholic who is finding his way back toward his Church, and may even get to meet someone very high up in my religion in the near future.Still, I feel no reason to go be violent and confrontational in front of another denomination’s venue of faith.

    Bring It On

    Posted by Andy on 13th February 2008

    Ed and Michelle are both standing in solidarity with the Danish cartoonist who are now the target for assignation squads. Why would cartoonists be at risk of being murdered?

    I stand with Ed & Malkin & Freedom.

    To the fanatical Muslim extremists, I say bring it on.

    Teddy MuhaMAD

    Posted by Andy on 29th November 2007

    This is a textbook case of intolerance on display thanks to Muslim theocracy.

    KHARTOUM, Sudan - A British teacher accused of insulting Muslims after her class called a teddy bear Mohammed arrived Thursday at the Khartoum courthouse where she is expected to face formal charges.

    British embassy representatives met Gillian Gibbons, 54, on her arrival from detention in Khartoum North and accompanied her into the courthouse. Court officers prevented reporters from entering the courtroom and said the session would be closed.

    Sudanese state media said Wednesday that Gibbons was being charged with insulting Islam, inciting hatred and showing contempt for religious beliefs. If convicted, she could face 40 lashes, a fine, or one year in jail.

    And Muslims can’t understand why people fear Islam.

    Any word from CAIR if they support or oppose this action?

    Paging Representative Ellison (CAIR MN5)….. Statment please

    You Can Take the Muslim out of Mecca, BUT …..

    Posted by Andy on 12th April 2007

    If you still believe that Muslims are not given preferential treatment in Minnesota, well, quite frankly, you’re an idiot. New financing option unveiled for Islamic businesses

    The City of Minneapolis is joining with the African Development Center to offer a new financing option for small businesses, aimed primarily at Muslims.

    Minneapolis, Minn. — The program allows Muslim Minnesotans, as well as others, to repay loans without traditional interest. Many Muslims avoid conventional loans because paying or receiving interest goes against their religious beliefs.

    What happened to seperation of church and state? Or is it the marriage of the Mosque and state OK in Minneapolis?

    CAIR Coming to Twin Cities

    Posted by Andy on 16th March 2007

    So CAIR is coming to Minnesota, but not everyone is excited about. In fact, its only the radicals that run CAIR that are excited.

    Reaction from other groups to the CAIR Minnesota revival was less than enthusiastic.

    Steve Hunegs of the Jewish Community Relations Council said he hopes the local group will not push the same agenda as CAIR’s national office.

    “National CAIR has given a platform to the academics who accuse our pro-Israel community of subverting and distorting American foreign policy, which is simply not true,” he said. “These accusations are an attempt to intimidate the pro-Israel community into not exercising its constitutional rights to lobby Congress and the executive branch.”

    Omar Jamal, executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in St. Paul, said he was dismayed by the news.

    “CAIR pushes issues from the Mideast under the guise that it’s an umbrella organization for all Muslims,” he said. “But it does nothing for Somali Muslims.”

    Many Somali Muslims are new immigrants who do not have the advanced language skills and education of those here longer, “so they are vulnerable to being influenced by CAIR and MAS [the Muslim American Society], which walk hand in hand,” Jamal said.

    “You watch, they’ll come in here and start fundraising and it’ll all go toward pro-Middle East causes,” he said. “The individuals involved here may be moderate and want to do good, but overall, the organization wants to push its own points of view.”

    Shirley disagreed, saying CAIR has helped represent a variety of Muslims on a variety of issues.

    “The agenda we are pushing is a world agenda — and that’s civil rights,” she said. “And that crosses all boundaries.”

    No word if Keith Ellison (D MN5) orchestrated this, but since he helped get CAIR a taxpayer funded office in the US capital to use, I’d have to say he was. He is afterall their Congressman. They are probably just coming to him so he doesn’t have to always swing by Detroit on his was back to Minnesota from DC. Its a convenience thing.

    What Will CAIR/Ellison Do? Muslim Cabby Runs Over Fare

    Posted by Andy on 19th February 2007

    It will be interesting to see just what CAIR and Muslim COngressman Keith Ellison (MN5 - D) will have to say about this.
    Muslim Cabbie Charged With Running Over Students After Religious Dispute

    NASHVILLE, Tenn. — A Muslim cabdriver from Somalia ran over two college students near Vanderbilt University after getting into an argument with them about religion, police said.

    Ibrahim Ahmed, 37, a driver for United Cab, picked up two men near the Vanderbilt campus early Sunday morning, Capt. Mike Alexander of the Nashville Police Department said, referring to the incident report.

    The two men, reportedly college students from Ohio who were visiting Nashville, were on their way back to the campus.

    A conversation about religion ensued between the driver and his two fares. The local FOX affiliate in Nashville confirmed from a friend and fellow co-worker that Ahmed is a Sunni Muslim from Somalia.

    At some point, according to the police, the two men exited the cab, and the cabbie also got out. They paid him his fare, and then they exchanged words.

    According to the incident report, Ahmed then returned to his cab as the students fled on foot. Ahmed then allegedly drove across a parking lot, jumped a curb and struck the two men.

    Well…. Will CAIR blame someone else’s religious intollerance for this man running over people who were running away? If Religion was part of the clash, and after an impasse was reached, and the business transaction was properly settled, what right did the Muslim Cabby have to run over the students?

    What level of verbal jousting warrants attempted vehicular homicide?

    Ellison Civil?

    Posted by Andy on 10th January 2007

    Democratic Rep. Keith Ellison was named to the House Judiciary Committee. He made a statement that I think would be good to discuss. (emphasis mine)

    WASHINGTON (AP) - Representative Keith Ellison has been named to the House Judiciary Committee, which has oversight over civil liberties, immigration and the courts.

    In a prepared statement, the Minnesota Democrat calls the selection an honor and privilege. He says he will work to restore civil liberties that he says have been rolled by the Bush administration.

    What are they? What are the specific “liberties” that the Bush administration has taken away that Democrat Ellison wants to restore?

    Ellison - Retreat Retreat! Oh and Socialized Medicine

    Posted by Andy on 9th January 2007

    Rep. Keith ‘the First Muslim Elected to Congress’ Ellison has an interview up at FOX9. Nothing has changed with him. He is still calling for an immediate retreat from Iraq. Oh and he is still pushing for socialized health care.

    Ellison also said he’d like to see legislation to create a national single-payer plan for health care.

    He may be one of the most radical liberal Democrats in Congress.

    SOTH & Reid, Retreat! Retreat!

    Posted by Andy on 5th January 2007

    Look everyone, Sen. Leader Reid and Supreme Leader SOTH Pelosi have put on the surrender monkey hats again.

    Honest question for the anti-war lobby of the American left & right, just how the heck is Iraq going to take control of its future (translated to take on the task of fighting) if you yourselves say that Iraq is an winnable mess?

    Seriously, you all run around spewing out that there is no way we can win, or that we shouldn’t try. Well, then wouldn’t the US pulling out completely basically leave the fledgling democracy and military there to do what you have said we are uncapable of?

    In other words, why the heck do the new Congressional leaders want to hand over control of Iraq to the Iranian/Syria/Muslim Extremist/insurgent/sectarian fighters? If We can’t win in Iraq, just how will Iraqis do it?
