Exerpt from The dark side of Dubai

This is a very long article. I have posted the link below. I was amazed at what is said about this country. This section is about gays in the middle east. I was really interested in the part about Saudi Arabia.

It is illegal to be gay in Dubai, and punishable by 10 years in prison. But the locations of the latest unofficial gay clubs circulate online, and men flock there, seemingly unafraid of the police. "They might bust the club, but they will just disperse us," one of them says. "The police have other things to do."

In every large city, gay people find a way to find each other – but Dubai has become the clearing-house for the region's homosexuals, a place where they can live in relative safety. Saleh, a lean private in the Saudi Arabian army, has come here for the Coldplay concert, and tells me Dubai is "great" for gays: "In Saudi, it's hard to be straight when you're young. The women are shut away so everyone has gay sex. But they only want to have sex with boys – 15- to 21-year-olds. I'm 27, so I'm too old now. I need to find real gays, so this is the best place. All Arab gays want to live in Dubai."

With that, Saleh dances off across the dancefloor, towards a Dutch guy with big biceps and a big smile.

See how well the segregation of the sexes are? The men in SA are having gay sex because that is all that is available. Amazing insite into the backwards world of muslims.

OBAMA AS MUSLIM APOLOGIST

AMERICA “ENRICHED” BY ISLAM
By
Paul L. Williams, Ph.D.
with Michael Travis
“We will convey,” Barack Obama told the Turkish Parliament Monday, “our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over the centuries to shape the world - - including my own country.” He assured the Turkish leaders (who have become increasingly radicalized under President Abdullah Gul) that America “is not and never will be at war with Islam.” And he went on to say that “the United States has been enriched by Muslim Americans,” including his ancestors.

By making these remarks, Mr. Obama (who made a point of being introduced to the Turkish Nation as “Barack Hussein Obama”) is treading in the hobbled footprints of his foolhardy predecessor.

George W. Bush, the first person in history to declare Islam to be “A Religion of Peace”, stated in his second inaugural address, that Islam represented a major factor in the development of American heritage and culture and that “our national life [is sustained] by the truths of Sinai, the Sermon on the Mount, the words of the Koran.”

Barack Hussein and George W. appear to be blithely unaware that there were no Muslims among the passengers on the Mayflower or the settlers at Jamestown. Muslims were conspicuously absent from the ranks of George Washington’s Army of the Revolution and played no role in the creation of the American republic - - save for the fact that the new country’s first declaration of war was against the forces of Islam represented by the Barbary pirates.1
Despite popular folklore, few Muslims numbered among the 12 million black Africans who were shipped to the New World from the 17th to 19th centuries. The Muslims, in fact, were not the slaves but the slave traders. Senegalese educator Amadou-Mahtar M’Bow has written that in 1587 a shipload of Moriscos (Spanish Moors) landed in a coastal area of South Carolina. The Moors, he contends, migrated to the mountains of eastern Tennessee and western North Carolina where they established colonies.2 In reality, this is pure speculation. There is not a scintilla of archival or archaeological evidence to support this claim.
This is a very interesting article.

$350K Awarded fo Muslim Girl For Bullying Update

I did some research into this. It did not take long to find out that CAIR was involved in this.

The other thing that I found interesteding was what was said in ING.ORG:

A few minutes before the bell rang to end the lunch period, Laila, a Muslim student who wears a hijab, the head scarf worn by many Muslim women, says she noticed a boy, whom she recognized but did not know, approaching them. "He walked right over to us," Laila says. "There were a lot of people standing around. He got real close, and then he just started screaming at me:

'"Her father is bin Laden! She's going to blow up the school, she's going to blow it up! She has a bomb under her sweater! Everybody run, this jihad girl is going to kill us!'"

Laila says the boy and his two friends doubled over, laughing. Other students walked quickly as they passed. "I was so mad, just so embarrassed. I wanted to spit in his face," Laila says. Laila, who is 17 and recently graduated, says she faced this kind of harassment and discrimination at school many times over the last four years. But the bin Laden incident stuck with her because so many people witnessed it, both students and teachers, and no one did or said anything about it.

"I had math after lunch, and I told my teacher what happened," Laila says. "My teacher said she had heard the whole thing. And then she said I shouldn't make a big deal out of it. 'He has the right to express his opinions,'" Laila remembers her saying.

Laila told her teacher that she didn't think that was fair. "She told me that my people had caused a lot of problems in the world, and that I should understand if people were frustrated with me," Laila says.

This is not a death threat in anyway, it is taunting. This happens in school. I know I was on the receiving end many times. Was it handled correctly? NO. But what the teach said is true. The kid has a right to his opinions and the teachers comment was true, though not politically correct.

The previous post tells us that she could not give a description and that they could not find a perpetrator of the "death threat". Well the above quote is very much different.

Muslim Girl Gets $400G From Nevada School District in Head Scarf Bully Case

A Nevada school district agreed to pay $400,000 to a Muslim girl and her friend over allegations that other students threatened to kill her in the stairwell for wearing a religious head scarf and the staff did nothing to stop it.

The Washoe County School District in the Reno area will give Egyptian former student Jana Elhifny $350,000 and her non-Muslim friend and supporter Stephanie Hart $50,000 as part of the civil settlement.

Elhifny and her family came to Reno from Egypt in 2003, and the girl enrolled as a freshman at North Valleys High School.

She didn't finish the year after she told teachers and administrators that someone had threatened to kill her in the stairwell because of her Muslim hijab or head scarf, the district's independent attorney in the case, Robert Cox, told FOXNews.com.

Shortly afterwards, Cox said, Elhifny filed the lawsuit and returned to Egypt, where she married her fiancé.

More like arranged marriage.

The lawsuit, handled by U.S. District Court in Reno, alleges that Elhifny faced death threats and harassment and school administrators did nothing to stop the abuse.

Cox said that wasn't true, and the teen was unable to give any description of her tormenter — including his or her gender, size and tone of voice.

He said the high school tried to investigate her claims but was unsuccessful because of the lack of information.

"The district did an incredibly thorough investigation," Cox told FOXNews.com in a phone interview. "They could never identify the person who perpetrated these acts. ... The district did everything it could do to try to help this young woman who is an Egyptian and of the Islam faith."

Cox said school officials couldn't confirm the stairwell death threat story.

"They tried to prove that, tried to track down who it was, but without a description ... that couldn't be done," he said. "The district did watch her constantly and had people in the hallway."
He said the settlement was agreed upon to end lengthy and "expensive litigation." The case has been fought in the courts for the past four years, according to Cox.

Lawyers for the girls praised them for their bravery in bringing the suit in a joint press released issued by counsel for both sides.

"Ms. Elhifny and Ms. Hart had the courage to stand up for themselves and defend their right to a safe education," said Peter Obstler, a San Francisco attorney who handled the young women's lawsuits with the American Civil Liberties Union of Nevada.

Hart, a non-Muslim who says she was ostracized when she befriended Elhifny at North Valleys High School and also dropped out, will receive $50,000. Cox said she was a supporter of Elhifny's rather than a victim and never complained to school officials before getting involved in the lawsuit.

The settlement was announced early Wednesday. The monetary award will be paid by the district's insurance carrier.

The district also agreed to work with lawyers on harassment and discrimination policies.

Attempts to reach Elhifny in Egypt and Hart, who now has a child and resides in California, weren't immediately successful.

So, she claims to be threatened, she files a lawsuit, they find no perpetrator, she marries a guy from Egypt, they move back to the US, they collect $350,000 and now lives with her husband, probably her first cousin, and child in California, all being paid for by a false claim? This is only one thing, jizya for the muslims. I would like to know why if she could not provide any description of a suspect that it was not thrown out of court as a frivilous lawsuit. What do you bet that CAIR funded the lawyers?

In televised speech, Nasrallah admits Hizballah is smuggling arms to Gaza through Egypt

Egyptian officials responded angrily to a speech by Hizbullah's leader, in which he admitted that the Lebanese terror group was smuggling arms into the Gaza Strip, and told the London-based Arab daily al-Sharq al-Awsat that "[Hassan] Nasrallah wants to turn Egypt into a playground like Lebanon."

In an article published on Saturday, the officials blamed Hizbullah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah of "dragging Egypt into this situation" by letting his people enter Egypt "for satanic purposes."

"Egypt is not a playground in which others can play. Egypt is not a building without a doorkeeper," the unnamed officials warned Hizbullah.

The Egyptian officials reportedly went on to link Nassrallah's speech to the interests of the Iranian government.

In other words, it's not about Israel; it's about containing Shi'ite Iran.

"Nasrallah's admission and the language he used point to Hizbullah's desire to unite Egypt and the rest of the region with the Lebanese resistance movement and its solidarity with the Palestinians, under complicated international circumstances - for the mere sake of satisfying the Iranian interest to occupy the world, as (Teheran) develops its nuclear program," the officials were quoted as saying.

On Friday night, Nasrallah confirmed that his terror group has been making efforts to smuggle weapons to Hamas through Egypt.

In televised comments, Hizbullah's leader said that one of the people arrested by Egyptian authorities in a recent raid on an alleged terror cell was providing logistical aid to Hamas in Gaza.

It just amazes me that Israel has not been able to kill this guy.

Pakistan: Muslim men who gang-raped a 13 year-old Christian girl are declared "innocent"

Police in Muslim-majority nation suspected of corruption.

ISTANBUL, April 10 (Compass Direct News) – Police have declared three Pakistani men innocent of raping a 13-year-old Christian girl despite eye witness accounts and medical evidence indicating their guilt. At a hearing in Nankana Sahib district court on April 3, police from the Pakistani town of Sangla Hill, 64 miles from Lahore, cleared 40-year-old Mohammed Shahbaz, 30-year-old Waqas Sadiq and 25-year-old Yousaf Sadiq of accusations of raping and threatening Ambreen Masih. Shahbaz was the only suspect to attend the hearing, which was initially called to discuss terms of his pre-arrest bail.

But Judge Ijaz Hussan Awan said he couldn’t set terms for bail if police didn’t want to arrest or detain him. “In Pakistan it has always been like this – the wealthy person can approach the police and change the course of an investigation,” said prosecuting attorney Akbar Durrani. “Regarding Christians, they cannot put any pressure on the police for a fair investigation.”

Isn't islam a great religion?

Somali pirates seize another US ship

Hmmm...do you think maybe the jihadi pirates just aren't scared of the US military under the command of Barack Obama?

SOMALI pirates have captured an Italian-flagged US tug and its 16-strong crew today, an official with Kenya's East African Seafarers Assistance Program said.

"It's a US-owned and Italian-flagged tugboat that was taken around 1100 this morning in the Gulf of Aden,'' said Andrew Mwangura.

"The 16 crew members are all safe,'' he said.

Today's attack was just the latest in a series of raids on internatinal [sic] shipping in the Gulf of Aden and the Indian Ocean.

Somali pirates have continued to operate despite the presence of an international task force gathered to defend shipping in what is one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.

Another group of Somalis are holding a US captain hostage off the Somali coast after having abducted him during an unsuccessful bid to hijack his ship, the Maersk Alabama.

The four pirates guarding Captain Richard Phillips on the lifeboat they used to escape have warned US forces in the area not to attempt to rescue him.

French yachtsman Florent Lemacon died on Friday as French marine commandos stormed his boat, the Tanit, freeing four other hostages including his three-year-old son, killing two pirates and capturing three others....

At least the French are showing some courage.

Hard to believe it is the French that are actually fighting these muslim terrorist prirates.

Again it is Somalia that is causing all of this trouble. Maybe the UN should do something about it. Oh wait, it is virtually controlled by muslims now. Obama is a muslim too. So nothing is going to get done.

U.S. nationals among Somalia jihadists: "if you can encourage more of your children and more of your neighbors and anyone around to send people like h

WASHINGTON (AFP) — American recruits of Somali extremists addressed a press conference in the conflict-wracked country this week to rally other youths to join their jihad (holy war), a US monitoring group said Friday.

On April 5, "two American members of the Mujahideen Youth Movement (MYM) identified as Abu-Muslim and Abu Yaxye" spoke at the news conference and acknowledged that "many" Somali-Americans are "all over Somalia to join the jihad," said the SITE Intelligence Group.

The pair said they are "Somali youth" from the United States and are stationed near the southern port of Kismayo.

"Some of us are still in training, others are on the frontline of the jihad. Sadly a few of us are dead, one of whom carried out a suicide bombing," said Abu Muslim, as translated by Omar Jamal, executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota.

"We came from the US with a good life and a good education, but we came to fight alongside our brothers of (militant youth Islamic group) Shebab ... to be killed for the sake of God," one of the pair said, according to SITE.

Last month the Federal Bureau of Investigation warned US lawmakers that "radicalized clusters" of Somali-American youths as young as 12 were being recruited by Islamic terror groups.

"This is a priority for the FBI," Philip Mudd, an official with the bureau's national security branch, told a Senate committee hearing. "We are looking at individuals who are sending kids in the wrong direction."

Mudd identified the Shebab group as the driving force behind the recruitment effort, and said it also has ties to Osama bin Laden's Al-Qaeda network.

The Somali community in the United States numbers about 150,000 to 200,000, according to the FBI, and is centered largely on Minneapolis, Minnesota.

At the end of March SITE also made public a propaganda video made by Islamic extremists in Somalia featuring appeals to foreign recruits from an "American" fighter along with English rapping and songs.

The 31-minute video had an on-camera narrator who is identified as "Abu Mansour the American" making a pitch for new overseas recruits after praising one militant fighter killed in an apparent ambush shown on the tape.

"So, if you can encourage more of your children and more of your neighbors and anyone around to send people like him to this jihad, it would be a great asset for us," he said on the video, according to SITE.

Somalia again. They come to this country and have babies that are american citizens. They then go to Somalia to train and fight as mujahadeen, so called holy warriers. If they survive what happens when they come home? Will they then be sleeper cells? What happens if the FBI investigates them? I can assure you that CAIR will be all over the FBI claiming racial profiling. We need to be racially profiling. It is not the blue eyed blondes blowing themselves up in the name of their god.

Somalia is also where we are having muslim pirates taking hostages for ransom. That is right out of the so called holy books of the muslims.

Child-killer requests and receives a Koran behind bars

So what? Perhaps she's reforming and repenting of her evil ways? Such would be a Christian interpretation. While the Koran does not advocate killing children, it does advocate killing non-believers. Thus it's not exactly the most ideal book to help reform criminals. More on this story. "Accused Orland child killer asks for Quran behind bars, lawyer says," by Kim Janssen for Southtown Star, April 11:

Accused child killer Nour Hadid asked for a Quran in jail and was provided with one Friday, according to her new attorney, Joel Brodsky.

"Nour had only one request Friday and that was that she be brought an Arabic-language Quran, which the Cook County sheriff's officers have given her," Brodsky said. "Both she and her husband are modest and devout Muslims.

"When not "beating and biting" 2 year-olds to death, that is:

Hadid, 26, is accused of killing her 2-year-old niece, Bhia, by beating and biting her to death over a four-day period ending Sunday.

Police say she gave a video-taped confession to killing the child at her Orland Park home.

But her husband, Alaeddin Hadid, says police humiliated her by forcing her to remove her headscarf for a booking photo, which he said was an insult against the couple's Muslim faith...

If you kill anyone and are caught and arrested there is no reason in the world to give them any special treatment in jail. This woman beat and bit this child to death. Bit her? She should get the death penalty for sure, but she won't. They will claim that she is mentally ill. That is a popular thing to claim in the muslim world.

Somali elders seek to mediate between jihadi pirates and US Navy!

MOGADISHU, April 11 (Reuters) - Somali elders sought to mediate on Saturday between the U.S. navy and pirates holding an American hostage in a high-seas standoff that presents President Barack Obama with a nasty new dilemma.

Four pirates adrift in a lifeboat far out in the Indian Ocean with Richard Phillips, the 53-year-old American captain of a cargo ship they tried to seize on Wednesday, have demanded $2 million for his release and a guarantee of their own safety.

With three U.S. warships in the area, the elders and relatives of the pirates holding Phillips, a father-of-two from rural Vermont, are planning a mediation mission to try to avoid bloodshed, a regional maritime group said.

"They are just looking to arrange safe passage for the pirates, no ransom," group coordinator Andrew Mwangura said.

French special forces stormed a yacht held by pirates elsewhere in the lawless stretch of the Indian Ocean on Friday in an assault that killed one hostage, but freed four.

Two pirates were killed and three captured.

On Saturday pirates seized another vessel, a U.S.-owned, Italian-flagged tugboat with 10 Italians among its 16-member crew, NATO alliance officials on a warship in the region said....
At one point, Phillips tried to escape the lifeboat by jumping overboard, but was quickly recaptured....

Somalia's Islamist insurgent movement al Shabaab, which is on Washington's list of terrorist organisations, lambasted the international naval patrols and said no money should be paid.

"You are the ones who are the pirates. Leave our waters. You will be defeated, whatever you can do. And you will regret anything you pay as a ransom," al Shabaab spokesman Sheikh Muktar Robow Mansoor told reporters.

Al Shabaab has denied any links with the pirates.

In France, the government stood by its raid to free the yacht, which was hijacked en route to Zanzibar last weekend with two couples and a 3-year-old child aboard.

"During the operation, a hostage sadly died," said French President Nicolas Sarkozy's office. But it said the president "confirms France's determination not to give in to blackmail and to defeat the pirates."...

Does the U.S. have such determination?

We do not have that determination. Obama is not the person that is going to do what is necessary. We all know that he is a muslim. He has yet to go to church since becoming president. I thought he went to Wright's church in Chicago all the time. You do have to remember that Wrights church supports hamas and hezbullah. Hence, he is a muslim in my eyes.

Afghan cleric: "Can't we at least give the right to a husband to demand sex from his wife after four nights?"

KABUL – A key backer of an Afghan law that critics say legalizes marital rape and rolls back women's rights rejected an international outcry as foreign meddling on Saturday and insisted the law offers women many protections.
The law, passed last month, says a husband can demand sex with his wife every four days unless she is ill or would be harmed by intercourse, and regulates when and for what reasons a wife may leave her home alone.
"It is essential for the woman to submit to the man's sexual desire," the law says.
The legislation has raised the specter of the deposed hard-line Taliban regime, which fell in 2001 after the U.S. invaded Afghanistan. The Taliban required women to wear all-covering burqas and banned them from leaving home without a male relative.
Following an international uproar over the new law, which President Barack Obama called "abhorrent," Afghan President Hamid Karzai put it under review. The move puts enforcement on hold.
Mohammad Asif Mohseni, a top Afghan cleric and one of the law's main drafters, said the legislation cannot be revoked or changed because it was enacted through a legislative process — passed by both houses of parliament and signed by Karzai.
"The Westerners claim that they have brought democracy to Afghanistan. What does democracy mean? It means government by the people for the people. They should let the people use these democratic rights," Mohseni told reporters in the capital, Kabul.
Surrounded by supporters, Mohseni unfurled reams of paper with hundreds of women's signatures and thumbprints backing the law. The legislation came out of three years of debate and revision involving both Islamic scholars and members of parliament, Mohseni said.
Afghanistan is an Islamic state and its constitution defers to the Quran as the ultimate authority. Mohseni said the law simply reiterates rules from Islam's holy book.
"In Shariah law, it states that a woman cannot go out without the permission of her husband," he said. He argued that the law is permissive because it allows a woman to go out for a medical emergency or other urgent reason without asking.
Mohseni said much of the uproar has come from people misinterpreting the law. He said a woman can refuse sex with her husband for many reasons beyond illness, including fasting for Ramadan, preparing for a pilgrimage, menstruating, or recovering from giving birth.
Mohseni also argued that the law can be interpreted to mean simply sleeping in the same room as a couple every four nights, but an Associated Press translation of the pertinent article suggests this reading is unlikely.
The law says that every fourth day a man "can pass the night with his wife, unless it is harmful for either side, or either of them is suffering from any kind of sexual disease."
"If she is not sick, and if she does not have another problem, it is the right of a man to ask for sex and she should make herself ready for it," Mohseni explained. [...]
Much has improved for women since the fall of the Taliban. Millions of girls now attend school, and many women own businesses. Of 351 parliamentarians, 89 are women. But in the conservative country, critics fear those gains could easily be reversed.
Mohseni argued that women and men are very far from equal in today's Afghanistan and should not be treated as such. He said many rural women are illiterate and would not be able to find work. Men are typically expected to provide for their wives and children.
"For all these expenses, can't we at least give the right to a husband to demand sex from his wife after four nights?" he said.

Only in a muslim country will you see sex being regulated by law. Old Mo was obssessed with sex and the controlling of women. Modern day muslims have to emulate Old Mo since the koran says that he was the most perfect of people. Oh yeah, Old Mo made up the koran.
