Obama asks Supreme Court to protect Saudi Arabia and four Saudi princes from accountability for their alleged role in 9/11

The Obama administration has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to protect Saudi Arabia and four of its princes from being held accountable for their alleged role in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack on the United States that killed almost 3,000 Americans, according to a report in Joseph Farah's G2 Bulletin.

Through its solicitor general, Elena Kagan, the Obama administration has asked that the Saudis be held immune under the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, or FSIA, even though there is ample U.S. evidence of complicity by the Saudi government and the named princes in support of al-Qaida's attack.

While the FSIA generally protects a sovereign state, there are exceptions under which its provisions can be invoked. Such interpretations are left largely to the courts to determine.

Families of the 9/11 victims, however, have expressed outrage over the Obama administration's filing. They regard the action as undermining the continuing fight against terror....

More of Obama bowing down to his muslim masters.

Accused Georgia Tech jihadist wanted to attack U.S. oil facilities "because oil is being stolen from Muslims"

An Atlanta terrorism suspect travelled to Canada in 2005 to meet with three members of an alleged Toronto extremist group to plot attacks on oil refineries in America, U.S. prosecutors said Monday at the start of his trial.

Prosecutors accuse Syed Haris Ahmed, 25, of providing material support for terrorism and seeking military training with a terror group in Pakistan.

In his opening remarks at a U.S. federal court in Atlanta, assistant U.S. attorney Robert McBurney portrayed Ahmed as a militant time bomb who sent enthusiastic, unencrypted emails to confederates.

Ahmed headed to Pakistan to sign up for jihad training, then backed out, McBurney alleged. He also shot surreptitious video of potential targets in Washington, D.C., and when the FBI showed up, he talked for hours without asking for a lawyer and provided a confession that fills hundreds of pages.

The court heard how Ahmed and a co-accused allegedly found some "Canadian brothers" online, and travelled to Toronto in 2005 to meet with three other would-be jihadists, identified only as Azdee, James and Jamal.

According to the prosecution, Ahmed proposed attacking U.S. oil refineries and storage tanks.

"I wanted to attack those places because oil is being stolen from Muslims," Ahmed is quoted as telling investigators in his confession....

I am sick of the muslims saying that the US is steeling their oil. We pay dearly for that oil.

Bronx synagogue jihadists face more charges

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — Prosecutors boosted charges Tuesday against four men accused after an elaborate FBI sting operation of plotting to bomb New York City synagogues and shoot down military airplanes.

The charges were described in an eight-count indictment returned in U.S. District Court.
The men originally were charged with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles. Tuesday's indictment added three counts of attempting to use weapons of mass destruction, a charge alleging an attempt to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles and two charges alleging a conspiracy to kill U.S. officers and employees and attempting to kill officers and employees.

An arraignment was scheduled for Wednesday on the charges, most of which carry a potential penalty of life in prison.

The men, arrested May 20, were accused by prosecutors of plotting for the last year to carry out acts of terrorism out of hatred for Jews and America. [...]

Relatives have said the defendants were struggling men who had worked at places such as Wal-Mart, a landscaping company and a warehouse.

Muslims want Obama to throw Israel to the wolves

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — President Obama arrived here on Wednesday afternoon, opening a five-day trip to try to improve relations between the United States and the Muslim world and push for progress in settling the Arab-Israeli conflict. [...]


On his Middle East tour, Mr. Obama is expected to press the Arab nations to offer a gesture to the Israelis to entice them to accelerate the peace process.

But in his meetings with the Saudi king, he should be prepared for a polite but firm refusal, Saudi officials and political experts say. The Arab countries, they say, believe they have already made their best offer and that it is now up to Israel to make a gesture, perhaps by dismantling settlements in the West Bank or committing to a two-state solution.

“What do you expect the Arabs to give without getting anything in advance, if Israel is still hesitating to accept the idea of two states in itself?” said Mohammad Abdullah al-Zulfa, a historian and member of the Saudi Shura Council, which serves as an advisory panel in place of a parliament.

While not dismissing the possibility of some movement on the peace process, the Saudis say the Arab world made substantial concessions in the Arab Peace Initiative, which was endorsed by a 22-nation coalition during an Arab League summit in Beirut, Lebanon, in 2002. That proposal offered full recognition of Israel in exchange for Israel’s withdrawing to its 1967 borders and agreeing to a “just settlement” to the issue of the Palestinian refugees....

“I think we should hear something positive from President Obama,” said Ahmed Kattaan, the Saudi ambassador to the Arab League. “I think he is going in the right way now.”

Obama is visiting with his muslim master and will be pressuring the Jews to give into them.

Unindicted co-conspirators in jihad terror funding case offer Obama advice

JERUSALEM – President Obama should act against the "denigration" of Islam in newspaper columns, on talk radio and in religious sermons nationwide, the national executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, or CAIR, wrote in a letter to the president.

As Obama prepares for his much anticipated address to the Muslim world tomorrow, CAIR offered the president some tips on how to better foster dialogue and understanding with Islam.

"Prior to the 9/11 attacks, Islamophobia of the type we see today was at the margins of public discourse," wrote CAIR's Nihad Awad.

"Unfortunately, today it is quite common to see and hear the faith of Islam denigrated in newspaper columns, on talk radio and in religious sermons nationwide. Few in the Muslim world will listen to our calls for openness and reform while the faith they hold dear is being vilified," he wrote.

Gee, if muslims were not waging jihad all over the Earth maybe people would not have a problem with them.

U.S. invites Muslim Brotherhood to Obama speech

A sign that the Obama administration is willing to publicly challenge Egypt's commitment to parliamentary democracy: various Middle Eastern news sources report that the administration insisted that at least 10 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, the country's chief opposition party, be allowed to attend his speech in Cairo on Thursday. The brotherhood is a Salafist/ Islamist party with branches in many countries, and it does not have a reputation for liberalism and has supported violent campaigns against Israel (and Egypt's own government). It has deep roots in the region and traces its intellectual lineage to Sayyid Qutb, a top American-educated Islamic intellectual who was executed -- or martyred -- by the Egyptian government in 1966. The Brotherhood has direct links with Sunni groups like Hamas in the Palestinian territories. Its standing in Egypt has suffered as of late because of a crackdown by the Egyptian government and a growing frustration that it is too conservative (anti-women's rights, the whole gamut) for a modern Middle East....

"Without Jihad I am 50% Muslim"

Being Muslim is not merrily confined to the affirmation of faith in Allah, His books, His Messengers and the Day of Judgment. Being a Muslim is not confined to the duties of performing the prayers, observing the fasts, embarking on the pilgrimage, or paying the alms. Nor does it fulfill the concept of being fully Muslim, by observing the injunctions of Islam relating to marriage, divorce and inheritance. Every Muslim anywhere in the world should have one common goal, to this day the goal of the Ummah remains suppressed.

It is the concept of Jihad, the struggle and striving for Allah that Islam alone emphasis encompassing all the above that makes you a real Muslim. Jihad against prejudice and pro- political Jihad in today's battlefield where the sword is buried and the power of word is carried.

Indeed Islam states through hadith that the best type of Jihad is to speak the truth against an authoritarian ruler "The best (Jihad) is (to speak) a word of justice to an oppressive ruler." - Sunan of Abu-Dawood. Muhammed (saw) also said “When people see an oppressor but do not prevent him from doing evil it is likely that Allah will punish them all" Abu Dawood and Tirmidhi.

‘Shall I tell you who is the best of men and who is the worst? Among the best of men is he who is active in Allah's way on the back of his horse or camel, or on foot, until death comes to him. And among the worst of men is he who reads the Book of Allah Almighty, and remains unenlightened’ Transmitted by An-Nisaa’
