This is an outrage. Who let this happen? The MSA must have the administration by the balls. If they did not get this hate speech they would riot. All in the name of being a victim.

Grand strategy of top US military adviser to combat al-Qaeda: Stop invading Muslim lands
The big lesson out of all this stuff is: don’t do it again.” That is, don’t invade countries in pursuit of a few Islamic terrorists and turn the whole population against you.
That is the message from David Kilcullen, an Australian academic turned military strategist and one of the most influential advisers to General David Petraeus. Kilcullen, the author of a thoughtful new book on lessons from fighting radical Islamists, is blunt about the operations in Iraq and Afghanistan — and invasions in general.
“Al-Qaeda is already starting to burn itself out”, he says. “Provided we don’t do anything egregiously stupid like keeping invading countries, the trend lines are not good for it.” Iraq, which he calls “a disaster of our own making”, is “exactly the type of conflict we need to avoid”. He agrees that after the 9/11 attacks “there was no option but to do something”. But he holds that the US-led mission conflated “the Taleban with al-Qaeda and the Afghan state with the Taleban”...

Miami: Iranian gets 17 months for conspiring to ship military aircraft parts to Iran
MIAMI (Reuters) – A U.S. judge has sentenced an aviation company owner to 17 months in prison for conspiring to ship parts for fighter jets and other military aircraft to Iran in violation of the U.S. embargo, according to court papers.
Hassan Saied Keshari, an Iranian national and naturalized American, was charged last June with a series of violations of the U.S. Arms Export Control Act, the Iran embargo and the International Emergency Powers Act. He pleaded guilty in January to one count of conspiracy.
U.S. District Judge Patricia Seitz dismissed 10 other charges at a hearing on Wednesday and sentenced him to 17 months in jail on the conspiracy count, with three years of probation after his release. He had faced up to 20 years in prison on the original charges.
U.S. authorities accused Keshari, the owner of Novato, California-based Kesh Air International, and Traian Bujduveanu, who owned Orion Aviation in Plantation, Florida, of helping the Iranian government build up its military.
The two men received e-mailed parts orders directly from Iran and then procured and illegally shipped the parts through Dubai to Iran, prosecutors said.
They shipped parts for the F-14 Tomcat fighter jet, the AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter and the CH-53 heavy-lift transport helicopter, prosecutors said....
17 months for treason? We need to just shoot these people. At least strip him of his citizenship and send him to Iran.

Taliban jihadists shaving their beards and trying to flee
The great courageous mujahedin crumble at the first sign of resistance. "Taliban men shaving beards to flee: Army," from the Times of India, May 16
KOTA: Taliban fighters are shaving off their beards and trying to flee from a Pakistani army offensive in their Swat bastion, the military said on Friday.
Clashes had erupted in various parts of the region, the military said on Friday, adding it was achieving successes. It also appealed to civilians to identify Taliban fighters trying to flee.
“We have confirmed reports that these Taliban terrorists, after shaving off their beards and cutting their hair, are fleeing from the area,” the military said. “We request the people of Swat to identify them,” it said, while providing a telephone number for informants to call or send text messages....
Oh the brave soldiers of allah. See them run.

UK: Muslim doctor says she was fired for attending Friday prayers
Here again we see the same phenomenon playing out that we have seen many, many times over the last few years: a Muslim demands that a workplace change its practices to allow for Islamic observance, rather than dealing with the parameters of the job as it is. Every one of these incidents is a test case in the question of which will prevail: Islamic law or Western practice and custom. Will Muslims be established as a privileged class in Western countries, with rights that others don't have, or will equality of rights and equality of treatment be maintained?
A Muslim doctor who was dismissed from her job claims she was discriminated against on religious grounds because she wanted to attend a mosque for prayers every Friday, a tribunal heard yesterday.
Dr Musarrat Syed-Shah, 31, is alleging religious discrimination and victimisation against four partners from the North Leeds Medical Practice after her partnership agreement was terminated on August 8 last year.
The employment tribunal in Leeds heard that Dr Syed-Shah claims the other doctors were "unhappy" about her attending the weekly prayers.
Michael McDonough, for Dr Syed-Shah, told the tribunal: "They were unhappy with her attending the mosque for Friday prayers and they applied a condition to her which was not applied to anyone else by saying they were not allowed to leave the surgery between sessions."
Mr McDonough continued: "Following the notice of termination on August 8, she was expressly forbidden from going to the mosque from August 8 till the end of her contract."...
Dr Syed-Shah described herself in her evidence as a "devout" Muslim who had been on a pilgrimage to Mecca before taking up the post at the practice and prayed five times a day.
She had attended mosques on Fridays throughout her adult life.
On being given the job, Dr Syed-Shah said she requested Fridays off but was told it was not convenient.
However, she believed her sessions could be arranged to allow time in between to visit the mosque for Friday prayers, and said the practice manager, Sharon James, and one of the other partners, Dr Manjit Purewal, agreed there would be no problem with this.
When Dr Purewal later asked her to take on an extra shift on Fridays, meaning she would have to work for more than nine hours without a break and miss prayers, she objected and was accused of not pulling her weight. Dr Syed-Shah said: "I felt that this was an attack on me by Dr Purewal. He knew that I could not take up an extra surgery on that day."
At a meeting of the partners on August 4, one partner, Dr Marcus Julier, said: "Nobody should have a commitment that is more important than this surgery on any day that they are working at this practice."
Dr Syed-Shah said she was told the next day by partner Dr Elizabeth Martin that she would be "out of a job" if she continued going to Friday prayers. She said: "I felt bullied and victimised."...
It is more important for her to listen to hate speech against the West than it is for her to be a doctor and preform a surgery? Of course the muslims demand that they be treated differently than us ordinary dhimmis.

Did Afghan troops help Taliban with attack on American soldiers?
Why not? What's to prevent Afghan troops from sharing the same jihadist perspective as that held by the Taliban?
Kunar River Valley, Afghanistan — A pre-dawn attack by the Taliban that killed three American soldiers and six other coalition troops earlier this month is raising new questions about many of the Afghan soldiers who were supposed to be fighting shoulder-to-shoulder with them.
Officials are investigating whether the Afghan troops may have colluded with the Taliban in the brazen assault on the remote coalition outpost along the mountainous Afghanistan-Pakistan border. Their findings could complicate further the already difficult challenges U.S. trainers are having with the Afghan Army.
American officials have questioned 11 Afghan Army soldiers and one Afghan interpreter who were taken prisoner after the battle and later released. Many U.S. troops in the area suspect that the Afghan POWs may have passively helped their Taliban attackers by laying down their arms, or even actively colluded with the enemy in the attack....
In the days following, U.S., Afghan, and Latvian forces embarked on joint operations to recover the dozen POWs. On May 6, approximately 400 coalition troops made a forceful push toward the Hel Gal Valley, where the POWs were believed to be held. But the mission was halted two hours after it began when the Taliban freed all 12 POWs after coalition forces broadcast radio messages demanding their return.
When asked what kind of condition the freed Afghan troops were in, Marine Lt. Col. Ted Adams replied, “Good condition. Too good, actually,” -- a sentiment echoed by other officers, which has led many to suspect that the POWs were complicit in the enemy attack.
