It reminds me of the madness last summer when SION met for a freedom rally in Stockholm. One policeman lost his eye. Robert Spencer, Tommy Robinson, Kevin Carroll, Anders Gravers, et al spoke of freedom, while the rioters lusted for blood (scroll this link). Early this week I reported that Muslim "youths" burn 100 cars in north Stockholm riots. Those riots are spreading. Firemen extinguish a burning car in Kista after Muslim 'youths' rioted in differant suburbs around Stockholm. Photographer: Jonathan Nackstrand/AFP via Getty Images Swedish Police Arrest Eight as Husby Riots Spread in Stockholm, May 22, 2013 4:36 AM ET Swedish police arrested eight people after riots in Husby spread to other Stockholm suburbs last night as young people set fire to cars and schools and vandalized property. About 30 cars burned overnight in suburbs including Husby, Jakobsberg, Norsborg and Vaarberg, Kjell Lindgren, a spokesman for the Swedish Police, said by phone today. In Husby, a school and the Husby Gaard cultural center were set on fire while rubbish bins burned across Stockholm’s western and southern suburbs. A school was also set alight in the Skaerholmen suburb, and a police station and buildings in central Jakobsberg were vandalized. The riots began in Husby on May 19, about a week after a 69-year-old man brandishing a knife was killed by police in an apartment. Sweden, which has Scandinavia’s highest youth unemployment rate, has suffered from riots before. In 2008, young people in Rosengaard in the southern city of Malmoe clashed with police after setting fire to cars and bins. Those riots also spread to the Stockholm suburbs of Tensta and Husby. “There is a core, as there often is, of young men who believe in using violence and who believe that this use of violence is above our democratic values and above Swedish law,” Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt told reporters in Stockholm yesterday. “The people of Husby must get their suburb back because the majority want to live in calmness and safety.” The people arrested for vandalism and setting cars on fire were born between 1991 and 1995, police spokesman Lindgren said. The police officers who patrolled the capital city’s suburbs last night “felt the atmosphere was less confrontational than on previous nights,” said Lindgren. Police remain prepared in case of further riots tonight and is probing claims that officers used racist slurs, he said. Continue reading

A 100-million-dollar mosque in Maryland is slated to be "the largest and most striking examples of Islamic architecture in the western hemisphere." Conquest. A request to build a Christian church in Turkey's capital of Ankara (where none exists) was denied by the Erdogan government. Instead, another mosque will be built where the church had requested permission to build. So I ask you, is this mega-mosque a "symbol of friendship" (their taqiyya) or a symbol of conquest? School me in that interfaith dialogue and mutual respect again. Last week's Islamic celebration ceremony was attended by Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley, who welcomed guests representing the Muslim Brotherhood groups, "Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA)," the "Islamic Society of North America," and several other U.S. Hamas affiliates. Rumor has it that Governor O'Malley is considering a Presidential run in 2016. President Obama was invited, but between scandalapalooza and tee-off times, he was unable to attend. (thanks to Lou S) "A Symobol of Friendship" Turkish PM Lays Stone for $100M Masjid Complex In Maryland Muslim Link, May 17, 2013 On Wednesday, May 15, 2013, Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan placed a ceremonial stone on a 15-acre construction site in Lanham, Maryland that will likely become the largest and most striking examples of Islamic architecture in the western hemisphere. The Turkish American Culture and Civilization Center (TACC) is a project of the government of Turkey and is meant to"serve as a social, cultural, and religious center for all visitors, including activities for the promotion and introduction of the values of the Turkish Civilization" according to an information packet distributed by TACC at the invitation only ground breaking ceremony. The project is well underway, and two industrial cranes tower over the skyline along Good Luck Road. Concrete and steel pillars are up, and even two small domes are already visible. TACC leaders estimate the complex will be completed by October 2014. The cost of the 5-buidling complex is estimated to be around $100 million according to sources familiar with the engineering aspects of the project. The entire complex will be serviced by an underground garage. The Muslim Link covered the ceremony and presents these images to capture the event as well as the monumental construction project for our readers. -- TML Prime Minister Erdogan talks about what the TACC center means to Turkish Americans as well as to American society at large. He criticized groups promoting... Continue reading

I, too, wish that Sheik Qaradhawi -- annihilationist and leading Sunni cleric -- would meet his 72 virgins sooner than later: In Visit To Gaza, Leading Sunni Scholar Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi Calls For Jihad, Prays To Become Martyr MEMRI Following are excerpts from the coverage of leading Sunni scholar Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi's visit to Gaza, which aired on Al-Aqsa TV and Al-Jazeera Network on May 8-11, 2013: Click here to view this clip on MEMRI TV. Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya: "Today, we say with pride that Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi is the Sheikh of Jihad in Palestine, the Sheikh of Al-Aqsa, of Jerusalem, and of Palestine. We say this out of recognition for the great role played by him, as well as other Muslim scholars, in strengthening our position in this land, and in supporting the steadfastness of our people and of the resistance. [...] "We have been talking [with the people of Gaza] about how our entire Jihad, all our efforts, our lives, our hopes, and our aspirations are to die for the sake of Allah, so that Palestine can live. Brothers, this is essential." [...] Master of Ceremonies: "Now we shall present our imam, Sheikh Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi, with a Palestinian passport and Palestinian citizenship. The prime minister will now sign it." [...] Yousuf Al-Qaradhawi: "We are working toward the liberation of the prisoners, and the liberation of the land of Palestine. We are striving to liberate Palestine in its entirety, without excluding a single inch. Palestine in its entirety has been usurped by those Zionists, who were empowered by the West at a certain point in time. They seized our land, banishing its people to all corners of the world. They began to live in this land as if it were their own, but it does not belong to them. They came from all over, from different countries. With our Jihad, we strive to liberate the land of Palestine, and to bring back all those who were scattered to all corners of the world – to Arab and Muslim countries, to countries of the West, to countries of the East, to Europe, to America, and all over. They have been dispersed worldwide. These people have the right to return. [...] "For a long time I have been praying to Allah to honor me by granting me martyrdom for His sake.

The savage jihadi who beheaded a British soldier on the street then approached a cameraman. He was still carrying the murder weapons and his hands were red with blood, and his victim was still lying in the street. He issued a dire warning. But the appeasers and apologists will keep on denying reality. As I have warned repeatedly, the war is here. From AFDI's platform for resisting jihad: -- AFDI advocates deportation hearings against non-citizens who promote jihad in our nations. -- AFDI calls for an immediate halt of immigration by Muslims into nations that do not currently have a Muslim majority population. The Woolwich beheading is straight out of al-Qaeda's terror manual Telegraph, May 22nd, 2013 The horrific killing in Woolwich, where a man believed to be a soldier based at the nearby Woolwich barracks was beheaded by two machete-wielding assailants, has all the hallmarks of an al-Qaeda attack. At the time of writing we are still awaiting confirmation from security officials about the precise nature of the incident. But having just watched some ITN footage, which shows a man with bloodied hands who is carrying a machete saying directly into the camera "We swear by almighty Allah we will never stop fighting you", it seems pretty clear to me what has happened. For years al-Qaeda activists such as Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born cleric who preached global jidad from his base in Yemen until he was killed by a U.S. drone strike two years ago, have been calling on their followers to launch their own home-grown attacks. Rather than trying to carry out sophisticated operations on the scale of the September 11 attacks, or the July 7 bombings in London in 2005, Awlaki urged his followers to take matters into their own hands and conduct basic attacks, such as launching suicide bomb attacks in British shopping centres, or attacking British military targets. To date the intelligence and security services appear to have succeeded in disrupting these so-called homegrown plots, and a number of al-Qaeda terrorists have recently received lengthy jail terms. In one of these plots an al-Qaeda terrorist wanted to kidnap a British soldier in the Midlands and film himself beheading his captive. Now it seems al-Qaeda has finally achieved its goal.

UPDATE from the BBC: One witness, identified only as James, said two men had attacked another man, aged about 20, who was wearing a T-shirt of military charity Help for Heroes. "These two guys were crazed. They were just animals. They dragged him from the pavement and dumped his body in the middle of the road and left his body there," he told LBC radio. He said after the "horrendous" attack, the two men, who were also in their 20s, stood around, waving knives and a gun, and asked people to take pictures of them "as if they wanted to be on TV or something". "They were oblivious to anything, they were more worried about having their photo taken, running up and down the road," he said. Open war.

This Globe story suggests that he was entirely innocent and even set up by the FBI. So why did he attack the FBI agent? FBI agent fatally shoots Orlando man with ties to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev; 2 Mass. state troopers involved Boston Globe May 22, 2013 A Chechen man with ties to Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev was shot and killed by an FBI agent in Orlando early today when the man attacked the agent, the FBI said in a statement. Ibragim Todashev (Reuters) The FBI identified the person shot and killed as Ibragim Todashev, 27. Two Massachusetts State Police troopers were also participating in the questioning at the time of the fatal shooting, the FBI said. State Police spokesman David Procopio had no comment. According to the FBI and local news accounts, the shooting took place in an apartment on Peregrine Avenue while Todashev was being questioned about the bombings and Tamerlan Tsarnaev. “The agent along with two Massachusetts State Police troopers and other law enforcement personnel were interviewing an individual in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing investigation when a violent confrontation was initiated by the individual,’’ the FBI said in an updated summary of the incident released around 10:30 a.m. The FBI had not previously disclosed that State Police were part of the interviewing team. “During the confrontation, the individual was killed and the agent sustained non-life threatening injuries,’’ the FBI said. “As this incident is under review, we have no further details at this time.” Khusen Taramiv, a friend of Todashev, told WESH-TV in Orlando that both he and Todashev were questioned about his ties to Tamerlan Tsarnaev, who was killed after a shootout in Watertown with police on April 19. Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s younger brother, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, is in federal custody and facing charges that could bring the death penalty. The bombings on April 15 near the Marathon finish line killed three people and wounded more than 260. MIT Police Officer Sean Collier was also allegedly murdered by the brothers. The FBI said today that a Washington-based deadly force investigative team is being sent to Orlando to investigate the shooting on Peregrine Avenue. Taramiv said he was released by the FBI, but Todashev was still being questioned by the agents. Taramiv said Todashev met Tsarnaev when both lived in Massachusetts, and that the two men spoke with each other “months before” the... Continue reading

Don't miss my column today at WND: DEFENDING THE WEST Why are we importing jihad invaders? Exclusive: Pamela Geller calls for immediate halt of immigration by Muslims The Washington Times reported Sunday that “the Homeland Security Department has granted legal status to 99.2 percent of all illegal immigrants who have applied under President Obama’s new non-deportation policy for young adults, according to the latest numbers released Friday.” It’s another giant middle finger to the American people by the Obama administration, endangering national security and guaranteeing higher unemployment. Supporters of this policy, according to the Times, “say the high rate makes sense given the motivated pool of youngsters, known as ‘Dreamers’ because of the Dream Act legislation that would give them full citizenship rights.” Yes, the motivated pool of youngsters like Al Harbi, the Saudi “person of interest” whose role in the Boston Marathon jihad bombing has never been adequately explained, and Tamerlan Tsarnaev, the Boston jihad bomber himself, or Khalid Ali-M Aldawsari (building bombs to use on the home of George W. Bush, hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, nightclubs and the homes of soldiers) or Ahmed Ferhani and Mohamed Mamdouh (who plotted to bomb a New York synagogue and the Empire State Building) or Amine El Khalifi (who plotted a suicide bombing plot of U.S. Capitol) or Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis (who plotted to bomb the Manhattan office of the Federal Reserve Bank) and so many other highly motivated youngsters. We have been importing jihadists for years now with Muslim immigration programs under the Refugee Resettlement program, diversity visas and religious visas. The Refugee Council USA says: “The U.S. has historically maintained a policy of admitting refugees of special humanitarian concern into the country.” Yet what that means in practice is very different from what most Americans would expect. It’s always a shock to people when they first find out how Refugee Resettlement works. Instead of giving refuge to the religious minorities that are persecuted, oppressed and subjugated under the Shariah, we are opening the floodgates to Islamic supremacists and jihadists. And what most folks don’t know is that it’s the OIC-driven U.N. that decides who gets refugee status. The U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) determines which of the world’s “huddled masses” comes to the U.S. as humanitarian refugees. According to a 2008 report (and little has changed since then), “major refugee ‘hot spots’ include the Horn of Africa... Continue reading

Calls for slaughter shrieking from mosque speakers -- that says it all. Notice that government officials aren't wiling to protect the Christians -- many, I am sure, support the sharia against the infidel, while others fear that the Muslim mobs will turn on them if they help the Christians. This is consistent with Islamic history. It was only a matter of time before any benevolent (tolerant of kuffar) Muslim ruler was inevitably overthrown by the bloodthirsty mob, in accordance with Islamic teaching. Calls for Attacks on Christians Emanate from Mosque Loudspeakers in Pakistan Villages Morningstar News, May 21, 2013 (thanks to Diane) A Muslim candidate for the Punjabi Regional Assembly in Pakistan who lost the race in the national elections on May 11th is blaming the Christian minority for his loss. The Christians largely supported his opponent and the winner of the seat who is also a Muslim. Thus, the loser is calling on his supporters to drive the Christians out of the area by maiming and killing them and confiscating their lands. The police and government officials aren't able or willing to protect the Christians because the Muslim mobs then riot and threaten the government. Thus, out of fear for their own safety, they cave and let the guilty go free without consequences. Continue reading

Gender apartheid. A Muslim woman who wants to be free will be jailed for it under the sharia. Back in March I reported deep concern for a young Tunisian Muslima who had disappeared after she posted topless photos of herself to protest the Shariah oppression and subjugation she suffered as a Muslim girl. One controversial image showed the young Muslimah, Amina Tyler, smoking a cigarette, baring her breasts, with the message in Arabic written across her chest: “My body belongs to me, and is not the source of anyone’s honour.” A Muslim cleric in moderate Tunisia called for her stoning death. Tunisian newspaper Kapitalis quoted preacher Almi Adel, who heads the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice, saying: “The young lady should be punished according to Shariah, with 80 to 100 lashes, but [because of] the severity of the act she has committed, she deserves be stoned to death.” And: “Her act could bring about an epidemic. It could be contagious and give ideas to other women. It is therefore necessary to isolate [the incident]. I wish her to be healed.” Amina was on the run solely because she wanted to be free. She was caught and arrested. Even more heinous are the Muslim women who enable this misogyny and oppression. "Amina Tyler, Tunisia’s ‘topless jihad’ activist, caught and under arrest" Al Arabiya, May 21, 2013 After months of reportedly going into hiding, the outspoken Tunisian feminist who sparked a trend of “topless jihad” has been found and arrested by Tunisian authorities earlier this week and may be charged for conducting “provocative acts.” Amina Tyler, 19, was found in the midst of police scuffles with hardline Salafist group Ansar al-Shariah in the central Tunisian city of Kairouan on Sunday. Tyler previously described herself as a member of the Ukrainian feminist group Femen, which uses nudity in protests. Witnesses said she allegedly scrawled “Femen” on the wall near the main mosque and may have intended to hang a banner on the building before an angry crowd gathered and started shouting at her to leave, according to The Associated Press. Video posted by the Tunisian online Nawaat news site shows Tyler, with dyed blonde hair, clutching a banner and being hustled away by police and put into a van as residents chased her. A local resident shouts at the camera: “She is dishonoring us. We will protect our... Continue reading

The hypocrisy is stunning: Muni self-righteously condemned our ads that told the truth about jihad, and turned over the money to "human rights" groups. But now Muni is fully sharia-compliant: antisemitism is fine with them, and they're in high dudgeon about resistance to jihad. Muni Plans to Keep "Israeli Apartheid" Ad Money After Surrendering "Jihad" Ad Funds SF Weekly, May 21 2013 (thanks to David) Jim Herd Cash money! To date, Muni has opted to surrender $15,780 from four different runs of inflammatory ads demonizing Muslims. Now Supervisor Scott Wiener, working with the Jewish Community Relations Council has asked the transit agency to do the same with $5,030 it pocketed after accepting bus ads labeling Israel an apartheid state and featuring an image of a silhouetted Israeli soldier leveling a rifle at a child. Wiener and five board colleagues yesterday sent a brief letter -- which you can read here -- to Muni director Ed Reiskin and the agency's board complaining of a double standard, and requesting the apartheid money be disgorged. Muni spokesman Paul Rose tells us, however, that "there is no plan for these funds to be transferred." This brings up an interesting point: Muni does not have a quantifiable process to determine when to keep or surrender controversial ad money. The agency, Wiener says, "hasn't articulated a distinction" between the anti-Muslim and anti-Israel bus ads. See Also: Muni "Savages" "Jihad" Etc. Battling Mideast Bus Ads Fund Pending Study The world of public transit advertising is a strange and terrible place. Muni reluctantly accepted the shrill ads from the American Freedom Defense Initiative rather than lose a First Amendment lawsuit as New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority did last year.Muni subsequently handed over the nearly $16,000 from those four ADFI [sic] campaigns to the citys' [sic] Human Rights Commission -- for a study, in part, examining the effect of those very ads on area Muslims. Rose says Muni isn't inclined to send $5,030 more to the Human Rights Commission with regards to the anti-Israel campaign because "there isn't a study to transfer those funds to fund." So, absent a pending study on the effects of inflammatory ads on area Jews and Israelis, Muni doesn't see any reason to not accept current and future ads demonizing Israel; this would appear to be "the distinction.""As our disclaimers say, we don't necessarily agree with the content of these ads," notes Rose. Fair... Continue reading

I reported on the flying of this jihad flag in New Jersey last Monday. Now it comes out that the Muslim leader behind this is a convicted felon. No one noticed or cared, but my colleagues and I are condemned and vilified. This is the exaltation of evil. The modern era of the savage. Man Behind Palestinian Flag at Paterson, NJ City Hall a Convicted Felon by Lori Lowenthal Marcus, The Jewish Press, May 21, 2013 Paterson, NJ City Hall flew the Palestinian flag on Sunday, May 19, which Paterson Mayor Jeffrey Jones named "Palestinian American Day." The community leader who solicited government proclamations for naming May 19 "Palestinian American Day" in Paterson, NJ had publicly expressed outrage over NYPD surveillance of Muslims. No one even noticed he was a convicted felon. On the same day that many Americans were celebrating Israeli Independence Day, Paterson, New Jersey Mayor Jeffrey Jones named Sunday, May 19 “Palestinian-American Day” in his city, and a Palestinian flag was hoisted over Paterson’s City Hall. Jones presented a city proclamation commemorating the event. Congressman Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ9) was also there for the flag raising. Pascrell presented a letter of Special Congressional Recognition, and New Jersey Assemblyman Thomas Giblin (D-NJ34) presented a ceremonial resolution marking the event. Although the organizer of the event, Khader Abuassab, said he had received nasty phone and text messages prior to the event, the day went forward with no counter-demonstrations or public hostility. Approximately 120 people showed up, to dance, cheer and yell “long live Palestine,” according to NorthJersey.com, as reported in Jewish World Review. WHO ORGANIZED THE EVENT? Khader Abuassab is an unusual name – in fact, there is apparently only one listed in the United States: he resides in Paterson, New Jersey. Abuassab was the one who placed ads in Arabic newspapers about the Palestinian American Day celebration and he texted invitations to friends, community leaders, politicians and law enforcement officials. According to Abuassab, South Paterson is known as “little Ramallah,” and he felt it was important for the Arab Palestinian community to be recognized much like any other local ethnic community. PATERSON PALESTIAN [sic]-AMERICAN DAY ORGANIZER ADVISED FOLLOWERS NOT TO COOPERATE WITH AUTHORITIES. HE ALSO DID PRISON TIME FOR MASSIVE CREDIT CARD FRAUD. So who is Abuassab? According to a Feb. 2012 Press TV interview, Khader Abuassab has served on the Paterson Board of Education and has run... Continue reading

More treason -- the sanction of jihadists. PJM EXCLUSIVE: Ex-Diplomats Report New Benghazi Whistleblowers with Info Devastating to Clinton and Obama PJMedia, May 21, 2013 (thanks to Inexion) More whistleblowers will emerge shortly in the escalating Benghazi scandal, according to two former U.S. diplomats who spoke with PJ Media Monday afternoon. These whistleblowers, colleagues of the former diplomats, are currently securing legal counsel because they work in areas not fully protected by the Whistleblower law. According to the diplomats, what these whistleblowers will say will be at least as explosive as what we have already learned about the scandal, including details about what really transpired in Benghazi that are potentially devastating to both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. The former diplomats inform PJM the new revelations concentrate in two areas — what Ambassador Chris Stevens was actually doing in Benghazi and the pressure put on General Carter Ham, then in command of U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) and therefore responsible for Libya, not to act to protect jeopardized U.S. personnel. Stevens’ mission in Benghazi, they will say, was to buy back Stinger missiles from al-Qaeda groups issued to them by the State Department, not by the CIA. Such a mission would usually be a CIA effort, but the intelligence agency had opposed the idea because of the high risk involved in arming “insurgents” with powerful weapons that endanger civilian aircraft. Hillary Clinton still wanted to proceed because, in part, as one of the diplomats said, she wanted “to overthrow Gaddafi on the cheap.” This left Stevens in the position of having to clean up the scandalous enterprise when it became clear that the “insurgents” actually were al-Qaeda – indeed, in the view of one of the diplomats, the same group that attacked the consulate and ended up killing Stevens. The former diplomat who spoke with PJ Media regarded the whole enterprise as totally amateurish and likened it to the Mike Nichols film Charlie Wilson’s War about a clueless congressman who supplies Stingers to the Afghan guerrillas. “It’s as if Hillary and the others just watched that movie and said ‘Hey, let’s do that!’” the diplomat said. He added that he and his colleagues think the leaking of General David Petraeus’ affair with his biographer Paula Broadwell was timed to silence the former CIA chief on these matters. Regarding General Ham, military contacts of the diplomats tell them that AFRICOM had Special... Continue reading

Sharyl Attkisson has distinguished herself among mainstream media reporters by her honest pursuit of the truth about Obama's scandals: Solyndra, Fast & Furious, and Benghazi. This power-mad president continues to power grab. If the rest of the clueless and compromised enemedia were doing its job, reporters would be besieging the White House with questions about why Sharyl Attkisson was targeted. Sharyl Attkisson's computers compromised Politico May 21, 2o13 (thanks to Ken) Sharyl Attkisson, the Emmy-award winning CBS News investigative reporter, says that her personal and work computers have been compromised and are under investigation. "I can confirm that an intrusion of my computers has been under some investigation on my end for some months but I'm not prepared to make an allegation against a specific entity today as I've been patient and methodical about this matter," Attkisson told POLITICO on Tuesday. "I need to check with my attorney and CBS to get their recommendations on info we make public." In an earlier interview with WPHT Philadelphia, Attkisson said that though she did not know the full details of the intrustion, "there could be some relationship between these things and what's happened to James [Rosen]," the Fox News reporter who became the subject of a Justice Dept. investigation after reporting on CIA intelligence about North Korea in 2009. On Sunday, The Washington Post reported that the Justice Dept. had searched Rosen's personal e-mails and tracked his visits to the State Dept. The court affadavit described Rosen as “at the very least, either as an aider, abettor and/or co-conspirator" of his government source, presumably because he had solicited classified information from that source -- an argument that has been heavily criticized by other journalists. Attkisson told WPHT that irregular activity on her computer was first identified in Feb. 2011, when she was reporting on the Fast and Furious gun-walking scandal and on the Obama administration's green energy spending, which she said "the administration was very sensitive about." Attkisson has also been a persistent investigator of the events surrounding last year's attack in Benghazi, and its aftermath. Continue reading

It turns out once again that after getting so much heat for exposing Rick Perry's compromised, whitewashed Islam curriculum, we were right all along. This Texas curriculum could have been written by al qaeda. This is a victory for Americans. Freedom lovers make a difference. Brilliant! Texas curriculum dropped after complaints from lawmakers Houston Chronicle May 20, 2013 (thanks to Van) The state's regional Education Service Centers will no longer issue lesson plans - and will forbid their use after Aug. 31 - for a popular online curriculum system that became a lightning rod for conservatives who criticized it as anti-American, legislators announced Monday. The move is expected to leave school districts across the state, including some in the greater Houston area, scrambling to replace CSCOPE, as the program is called, before the start of next school year. Districts that lack the staff or budget to design their own curriculum tend to rely on it. The CSCOPE plans are in use at 877 districts, or 78 percent of school districts in Texas, said Kyle Wargo, the executive director of Regional Service Center 17 in Lubbock. "Since we are a small district, we don't have the resources to hire specialized people in that area," said Somerset Independent School District Superintendent Saul Hinojosa, who credits CSCOPE with helping the district raise its test scores. Somerset, located in Bexar County, spent roughly $27,000 for CSCOPE lessons last year and had received no complaints about them, Hinojosa said, questioning how the state could prohibit its use. "We actually purchased the curriculum, so does the curriculum belong to the school district or does it belong to the state?" he asked. The Houston Independent School District does not use the curriculum, but several smaller Houston-area districts do. They include the Cleveland, Crosby, Friendswood, Galveston, Goose Creek, North Forest and Stafford districts. On Friday, the CSCOPE governing board is expected to unanimously vote to end the lesson plan component of the program under an agreement that was brokered in 72 hours, said Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, chairman of the Senate Education Committee. All 20 board members signed a letter to Patrick and Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, outlining their intent and asking them to help pass House Bill 1675, which would keep the regional Educational Service Centers open until 2019. Patrick said he saw no reason to object to the request. In the future, he said he would... Continue reading

So now we are told by the thug administration that everyone in the White House knew about the IRS tyranny except Obama: Senior White House Officials Knew Of IRS Probe: Jay Carney -- Huffington Post Is this Obama's instructions -- not to tell him about critical news and developments? Is that why he is president, so as not to be aware of historical events? Did Obama advise the IRS to do this or not? Or does his administration think him so irrelevant or mentally incapable of handling the job of presidency and its accompanying duties that it did it all without informing him? Or is it that Obama and his goosestepping SS-esque army are just big fat disgusting liars with utter contempt for the American people, as demonstrated by the news story below? Obama met with IRS union chief the day before they targeted the Tea Party American Spectator May 20, 2013 According to the White House Visitors Log, provided here in searchable form by U.S. News and World Report, the president of the anti-Tea Party National Treasury Employees Union, Colleen Kelley, visited the White House at 12:30pm that Wednesday noon time of March 31st. The White House lists the IRS union leader’s visit this way: Kelley, Colleen Potus 03/31/2010 12:30 In White House language, “POTUS” stands for “President of the United States.” The very next day after her White House meeting with the President, according to the Treasury Department’s Inspector General’s Report, IRS employees — the same employees who belong to the NTEU — set to work in earnest targeting the Tea Party and conservative groups around America.

If Saif Mohamed Moussa is from Egypt or Pakistan or any number of other Muslim countries, kidnapping girls and forcing them into marriage is just ordinary courtship practice. And it will be increasingly in Southern California as well. Man jailed for allegedly trying to drag teen from SoCal bookstore Los Angeles Daily News, May 20, 2013 (thanks to ggg) ALISO VIEJO - A 29-year-old man was behind bars today on suspicion of trying to drag a teenage girl out of a bookstore in Aliso Viejo, a sheriff's spokesman said. Saif Mohamed Moussa was booked on suspicion of kidnapping and child annoyance and was being held in lieu of $100,000 bail, said Jim Amormino of the Orange County Sheriff's Department. A 17-year-old girl was shopping in the Barnes & Noble store at 26751 Aliso Creek Road about 2 p.m. Saturday when Moussa wrapped her up in a bear hug and started walking her to the front door, Amormino alleged. "He said he intended to marry her," Amormino said. Once the two got near the front door, the girl managed to get free and find her father, an Orange County sheriff's deputy who was off duty at the time, inside the store, Amormino said. The deputy restrained the suspect until other deputies provided backup and took Moussa into custody, Amormino said. A defendant by the same name pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of lewd conduct in a public place on April 2 and was sentenced to 52 days in jail and put on probation for three years, according to court records.

These are the kind of books that French "youths" read before they go out and torch cars. Anti-Christian literature on sale in French bookshops Pravoslavie.ru, May 16, 2013 (thanks to Filip) Books that justify killing of Christians in the name of Islam are freely on sale in France, reports Sedmitza.ru. According to the L’Observatoire de l’islamisation portal, books of the organization Arab World Institute contain references to Muslim scholars who justify killing of Christian monks and baptized converts from Islam as well as violence against Christian women. The discovery of anti-Christian texts stirred memories among French Christians of the murder of seven Trappist monks in Tibhirine during the civil war in Algeria in 1996. It is considered that militants of an armed Islamist group were responsible for that crime. Continue reading

AFDI ad campaign currently running in NY and DC and soon San Francisco. Sharia in action in Afghanistan: Sharp rise in jail terms for rape and abuse victims (thanks to Robert Spencer) This is a result of Muhammad's exoneration of his favorite wife, Aisha, who was suspected of adultery. Allah gave him a revelation requiring four male witnesses to establish such a crime: "And those who accuse honourable women but bring not four witnesses, scourge them (with) eighty stripes and never (afterward) accept their testimony - They indeed are evil-doers" (Qur'an 24:4). The problem with this is that women who accuse men of rape but cannot produce four male witnesses are often accused themselves of zina -- unlawful sexual intercourse -- and jailed as a result. "Sharp rise in jail terms for Afghan rape and abuse victims," by Dean Nelson in the Telegraph, May 21 (thanks to Pedro): The number of Afghan women and girls jailed for fleeing sexual abuse, domestic, violence and forced marriage has increased dramatically, according to new official figures. Statistics obtained from Afghanistan's Interior Ministry by the campaign group Human Rights Watch reveal the number of women and girls convicted of 'moral crimes,' which include running away from home has increased by 50 per cent in the last year from 400 to 600. Many of the 600 women jailed in the last year are victims of sexual assault and domestic abuse whose only crime was to run away from their assailants, the group said. It called on the Afghan government to enforce its own Elimination of Violence Against Women (EVAW), and to stop its judges punishing female victims. Although it is not a crime in Afghanistan for women to run away, the group said the country's judges, including members of its Supreme Court, regard women who run away from their homes as criminals. Many of them who flee rapes and other assaults have been charged with seeking sex outside marriage, known as Zina in Afghanistan. Those jailed for Zina include women and girls who have been raped or forced into prostitution, the group said. Earlier this year Human Rights Watch released its report I had to Run Away, which revealed that half of all women and 95 per cent of girls in Afghan jails had been convicted of 'moral crimes' of running away or sex outside marriage. A report by Oxfam found that 87 per cent... Continue reading

A year ago, a religious cleric in Pakistan warned that a jihad would be launched against polio vaccination teams. Residents said the cleric had tried to convince them that the polio campaign was a "Western conspiracy" to render the population impotent. The cleric went to the largest mosque in the area and declared that polio drops were "poison" and against Islam. Pakistan: Muslim jihad gunmen attack polio team, murder policemen May 20, 2013 (thanks to Robert Spencer) Last summer, a Pakistani Muslim cleric said that polio vaccinations were un-Islamic. More recently, the Taliban was murdering people who were administering the polio vaccine in Pakistan. And the quest for Islamic purity continues. "Gunmen Attack Pakistani Polio Team, Kill Policeman," from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, May 20: Pakistani officials say gunmen attacked a polio vaccination team in the country's northwest, killing a policeman who was escorting the health workers. The group was assaulted on May 20 in the Bajur tribal area, one of Pakistan's seven tribal areas along the Afghan border. A local official said more than 600 teams are taking part in the latest campaign in Bajur to vaccinate 220,000 children against the crippling disease. It is unclear whether the campaign, which had already been postponed due to previous attacks, will continue. No one has claimed responsibility. In December, gunmen killed at least nine polio workers in separate attacks in Pakistan. Some Pakistani militants oppose the polio vaccination campaign, accusing health workers of acting as spies for the United States and claiming the vaccine harms Muslim children. Continue reading

This murdering Muslim is paid over a quarter of a million dollars, while the hero cops who took him down were fired years ago. Obama's approval ratings hovers at 50%. America, you have lost your way. Accused Fort Hood Shooter Paid $278,000 While Awaiting Trial NBC Injured soldier outraged suspected shooter receives salary while his family financially struggles in recovery Photo: Hasan won the right to wear his devout Muslim beard in the courtroom Scott Friedman, NBC 5 Investigates The Department of Defense confirms to NBC 5 Investigates that accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan has been paid more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting that left 13 dead 32 injured. The Department of Defense confirms to NBC 5 Investigates that accused Fort Hood shooter Major Nidal Hasan has now been paid more than $278,000 since the Nov. 5, 2009 shooting that left 13 dead 32 injured. The Army said under the Military Code of Justice, Hasan’s salary cannot be suspended unless he is proven guilty. If Hasan had been a civilian defense department employee, NBC 5 Investigates has learned, the Army could have suspended his pay after just seven days. Personnel rules for most civilian government workers allow for "indefinite suspensions" in cases "when the agency has reasonable cause to believe that the employee has committed a crime for which a sentence of imprisonment may be imposed." Meanwhile, more than three years later soldiers wounded in the mass shooting are fighting to receive the same pay and medical benefits given to those wounded in combat. Retired Army Spc. Logan Burnett, a reservist who, in 2009, was soon to be deployed to Iraq, was shot three times when a gunman opened fire inside the Army Deployment Center. “I honestly thought I was going to die in that building,” said Burnett. “Just blood everywhere and then the thought of -- that's my blood everywhere.” Burnett nearly died. He's had more than a dozen surgeries since the shooting, and says post-traumatic stress still keeps him up at night. Burnett is now fighting a new battle; only this one is against the U.S. Army. The Army has not classified the wounds of the Ft. Hood victims as “combat related” and declines to label the shooting a “terrorist attack”, The “combat related” designation is an important one, for without it Burnett and other shooting victims are not given combat-related pay, they...

It was Obama and his Muslim Brotherhood officials in his administration who called it workplace violence. What is so ghastly is that the Obama administration was more concerned with the welfare mass murdering jihadist than with the US soldiers who were killed. U.S. Army soldiers bow their heads in prayer for their fallen comrades during the III Corps and Fort Hood Memorial Ceremony (Nov. '09) The Obama administration's refusal to give the vicitms Purple Hearts speaks more to Obama's narcissism and self-obsession. It would mean Obama was the first President to issue Purple Hearts for acts of bravery on American soil since ..... Pearl Harbor. There is no way such a stain could be effaced from his record. That tells you everything. And the way our Military brass has rolled over on all this is devastating. Former Counterterrorism Head: FBI Never Called Ft. Hood 'Workplace Violence' Breitbart, May 20, 2013 (thanks to Van) Michael Steinbach, former head of the FBI’s counterterrorism division and now special agent in charge of Miami, told over 30 congressional staffers in March of 2012 that, contrary to the White House's classification, the bureau does not refer to the Fort Hood shooting as "workplace violence." As head of the FBI counterterrorism division, Steinbach oversaw the investigation into the mass murder at Texas Army base. Steinbach made this claim during an unclassified counterterrorism briefing on Capitol Hill. “Do you guys teach your agents that Fort Hood was workplace violence?” one staffer asked. “I’m not gonna go there for you,” Steinbach responded. “I think that’s along the lines of what we’re trying to discern here,” the staffer answered back. “I appreciate it. I was just at a hearing yesterday and the very same question came up to our executive assistant director to the head (inaudible). No, that’s not the description of it. In that case, we took a very, very hard look at ourselves as well,” Steinbach explained. "I’ll leave that to whoever said that to explain their words," Steinbach concluded. "I have not heard it used at the FBI.” The Department of Defense classified the Fort Hood shooting as “workplace violence.” Such a classification has denied the victims of the attack purple hearts and medical care Americans wounded overseas in combat zones would receive. According to ABC News, a Pentagon position paper issued on March 29 says that issuing purple hearts to the victims would “irrevocably alter... Continue reading
