Somali suicide bomber given decent burial in Minnesota

Here is the story of the suicide bomber from Minnesota that the state department brought back on our dime. Why?

You gotta be kidding! This guy, 27 years old, blows himself to bits and takes along 29 other people (I bet there were women and kids among those killed) and our FBI scoops up the body parts and brings them to Minnesota for a funeral. I wonder what that cost the US taxpayer? Have we gone completely around the bend?

And then, would reporters find someone other than Omar Jamal to speak for the Somalis. Jamal was found guilty in 2003 of immigration fraud and ordered deported. Hat tip: Blulitespecial.

Family and friends did not wish to talk about the circumstances of his death.

Community activist Omar Jamal is one of the few who will.

“Honestly I look at him seriously as a victim and not as a criminal, I think of him as a young victim,” says Jamal.

A victim? The killer was a victim? He was 27 years old, not 17. Jamal, that doesn’t make him a ”kid!” If the killer is the victim, what does that make the 29 people he murdered? Aren’t they the real victims?

Nobody made this 27-year-old American citizen go to Somalia. This is just infuriating. Stop all Muslim immigration to the US or we will be seeing more decent burials for American suicide bombers.

See the story and especially the video of the funeral here.

Here is our original report on this evil, cold-blooded Muslim killer, Ahmed. More on Jamal here.

The US must bring home the Somali terrorist’s body!

So says Omar Jamal, the one and only member of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center*of Minneapolis. Give me a break!

This is a followup to my previous post, here, about the news that one of the Somali youths who left the US voluntarily to join al Shabaab, a radical Islamist terrorist group trying to overthrow the Somali government, has been found dead in Somalia. There are conflicting stories. Jamal says he died from artillery fire, others say he was shot in the head by his buddies, al Shabaab. But, no matter, Somalis in Minnesota headed by Omar ‘Jesse Jackson’ Jamal are “frustrated” and insisting the US investigate and bring home the body for burial.

From the Star-Tribune:

Omar Jamal, executive director of the Somali Justice Advocacy Center in Minneapolis, said his group is looking into the death of the 17-year-old and asking federal officials for help in getting his body returned for burial. He said the teen was killed in artillery fire.

Bihi said his sister received many visitors offering condolences on Saturday. He added that family members were planning to hold a strategy session Sunday because they’re frustrated by the lack of progress with the investigation.

“We don’t want to sit down and wait for answers. We want to take action.”

Think about the nerve of this—demanding action and wanting US taxpayers to pay for returning the body to the US. Incidentally, this would be the second Somali terrorist we returned for burial in Minnesota. Here is a post on the first, and note that Omar Jamal is involved there too!
And, check out this last line. Guess the assimilation to America is working out real well—NOT!
Burhan Hassan, 17, was an infant when his family fled Somalia.

* Jamal’s one man advocacy group was in the news just yesterday, here, calling police in Minneapolis racist. I wonder who taught Jamal his grievance politics?

This barbarian runs off to Somalia to wage jihad and we have to worry about his body? Let the family go back to Somalia and bring back his body.

'Hamas risking Operation Cast Lead II'

Under the cover of morning fog, some 10 gunmen staged a failed assault at the Karni cargo crossing into Gaza on Monday, in which horses laden with explosives were used, a security source told The Jerusalem Post.

At least four terrorists and a number of their horses were killed in the ensuing exchange of fire with the IDF. No soldiers were wounded.

"A very big terrorist attack was thwarted," the security source told the Post.

"These terrorists were armed with a huge quantity of explosives. They launched a combined attack, using mortars, and attempted to approach the border fence with booby-trapped horses to harm our soldiers, before firing on our force," he added.

The Gazan cell belonged to the Janud Ansar Allah (Soldiers Loyal to Allah) organization, a small group that is linked to Iran and Hizbullah, the security source added.

Members of the cell, some of whom had suicide-bomb belts strapped around their bodies, led the horses off of trucks and began placing bombs along the fence.

They were identified by members of Golani Brigade's 13th Battalion, who were on patrol. The terrorists proceeded to open fire on the infantrymen, and mortar fire from deep within the Gaza Strip was also directed at them.

The soldiers returned fire and called for backup. At first, tanks were dispatched to the scene, and fired at the terrorists. Air force helicopter gunships then joined the battle.

Lt.-Col. Avinoam Stolevitch, commander of the 13th Battalion, told Army Radio that future assaults of this sort would put Hamas at risk of a second Operation Cast Lead.

"We are slowly beginning to understand the magnitude of [the threat from the Gaza Strip]," he said.

Stolevitch added that he believed the terrorists had planned a "large explosion... to provide cover for a kidnapping."

He said his men did not pursue the surviving terrorists into Gaza, out of concern the attack was a trap aimed at kidnapping soldiers.

Stolevitch praised his men's alertness.

"Hamas did not carry out this attack but they certainly provide general coverage for these small groups," he said.

The source said it was too soon to know whether the cell had planned to kidnap soldiers.

"The area turned into a war zone," he said. "Southern Command forces are prepared for these types of attacks, and are aware of the dangers present in the morning fog. There is always the chance terrorists will try to use that for an attack."

Defense Minister Ehud Barak on Monday afternoon praised the army's "effectiveness" in foiling the attack, and said it was quite possible that the terrorists had planned a kidnapping, a claim made by Hamas television.

"The results speak for themselves, and prove the preparedness and the alertness of our forces along the Gaza border," Barak told a Labor faction meeting. "I hope that all future operations end with the same type of result."

Ismail Haniyeh, who heads Gaza's Hamas government, praised the attackers as "martyrs," and said the violence confirmed Israel's "aggressive intentions" toward the Palestinians.

Following the attack, Israel closed the Karni crossing, the main cargo terminal between Israel and Gaza, as well as the nearby Nahal Oz fuel depot.

But despite the attack, 30,000 vaccines against foot-and-mouth disease were transferred to Gaza via the northern Erez crossing. The IDF said that 125,000 vaccines had been supplied to the Strip in the past three months in three separate transfers, due to the importance of preventing an outbreak.

In addition, 140 truckloads of humanitarian aid was scheduled to be sent to Gaza via the southern Kerem Shalom crossing.

The animalstinians attack the Jews and claim to be victims of Israeli aggression? Who had the explosives? Who launched mortars? Who has kidnapped Jewish soldiers in the past? Israel needs to just expel every arab, including the ones living in Gaza, Judea, Sumaria, and the Golan Heights. They are not occupiers, they took that land in a defensive war.

U.S. Mid East expert: Americans stereotype Muslims

NEW YORK, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Stereotypes must be overcome before the U.S.-Muslim relations could be improved, a U.S. Middle East expert said in a recent interview.

In efforts to improve U.S.-Muslim relations, "there are a lot of stereotypes to overcome," said Isobel Coleman, director of the Women and Foreign Policy program of the U.S. Council on Foreign Relations.

"If you ask an average American, what do they think if they talk about Muslims, you come up with a lot of negative references," she told Xinhua in the interview on Friday.

"They do think about suicide bombings, terrorism and all sorts of things," Coleman said. "And the Muslims also have to overcome the stereotypes of America," she added.

Commenting on the speech U.S. President Barack Obama made at Cairo University Thursday, Coleman said: "U.S.-Muslim relations are starting from a very low point, so the first step in building respect and trust (between the two sides) is just really trying to initiate dialogue."...

We think about suicide bombings, terrorism and oppression of women and non-muslims. Sometimes a sterotype is not wrong.

Hamas misuses humanitarian aid, converts ambulances into military vehicles

These ambulances came, according to the report, from "Arab states," but of course a huge amount of humanitarian aid to the Palestinians comes from the West. Will this lead Obama and the EU to reconsider humanitarian aid to the Palestinians? Obama will sooner become a Republican and endorse Rush Limbaugh. "Hamas converts 46 ambulances to military vehicles, misusing humanitarian aid."

PMW has documented the repeated use of foreign funding by both the PA and Hamas for terror and glorification of terror. The following is another case of well intended humanitarian assistance given to Palestinians that is appropriated for military or terror purposes:

"The [Palestinian] Health Ministry stated yesterday that Hamas militias had raided 46 ambulances, donated by Arab states during the recent aggression on the Gaza Strip, of the medical equipment that they contained... and used them as military vehicles to arrest civilians, after painting [the ambulances] black.The Ministry's director of public relations and information, Dr. Omar Nasr... said that the medical equipment removed from the ambulances was expensive.

He demanded that the Hamas militias declare, courageously and openly, what had become of the thousands of tons of medical equipment which had been brought into the Gaza Strip as assistance for the Palestinian people, and which had passed at its [Hamas's] orders to private warehouses and its own medical centers, and was later sold to the helpless citizen..." [Al-Hayat Al-Jadida, May 20, 2009]

Go figure, Hamas is not taking care of its people? No.

Trained at Fort Bragg, Taliban trainer says the jihadis will "never be defeated"

LAHORE: The Pakistani intelligence agent who trained Taliban leader Mullah Omar to fight has warned that NATO forces will never overpower their enemies in Afghanistan and should talk to them rather than sacrifice more lives, said a Sunday Times report on Sunday.

“You can never win the war in Afghanistan,” said so-called ‘Colonel Imam’, who ran a training programme for the Afghan resistance to the Soviet Union’s occupation from 1979 to 1989, then helped to form the Taliban.

“I have worked with these people since the 1970s and I tell you they will never be defeated.

Anyone who has come here has got stuck. The more you kill, the more they will expand,” the report quotes Imam as saying.

Today western intelligence agencies believe Imam, whose real name is Amir Sultan Tarar, and was trained at Fort Bragg – the US army base where America’s special forces are stationed – is among a group of renegade officers from the Inter-Services Intelligence agency who continue to help the Taliban.

United Nations officials and Afghanistan’s intelligence service have reported sightings of him in the Afghan provinces of Helmand and Uruzgan. It is a charge he shrugs off, claiming that at 65 he has not worked for almost eight years. “My students are far ahead of me now. They are giving a lesson to the world. I am very proud of them,” he said.

According to Imam, Helmand is particularly difficult because of the character of the people.

“They couldn’t care less about loss of property or loss of life,” he said.

It is unlikely, claims the report, that anybody alive today knows the Afghans as well as Imam. All the key figures were trained in his camps, from the late Ahmad Shah Massoud to warlords such as Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, his ‘naughtiest’ student.

Imam was Pakistan’s consul-general in Herat when the Taliban captured the city in 1995 from Ismail Khan, the mujahedin commander, who claims the ISI agent oversaw the whole Taliban operation. From there he guided the Taliban as they took over the cities of Mazar-e-Sharif and Jalalabad and eventually captured Kabul.

When General Pervez Musharraf, then president of Pakistan, agreed to US pressure to cut ties to the Taliban, the colonel was outraged.

Recalled to Islamabad, he told Musharraf that he couldn’t “defeat these people, they are well trained, they have a lot of ammunition and the more you kill, the more supporters will come”.

He has offered to find the Americans a way out, “We can give them a face-saving solution but they must change their strategy”.

First, he says, they must spend billions on reconstruction. Then they must open talks with Omar rather than the so-called moderate Taliban with whom negotiations are under way.

“When are you people going to understand there are no number two Taliban?” he asked. “Those who break away from mainstream Taliban have no place in society. You may make deals in Dubai or Saudi Arabia, but when they come back to Afghanistan and people know they have compromised with the Americans, they are finished.

Omer’s whereabouts: He insisted the Taliban leader was not in Pakistan. “He’s in the hills of Uruzgan, his home province. If there’s a requirement he will listen to me, but why should I get him involved in a risky situation?” he asks.

Imam said he had watched with horror as fighting spread into Pakistan and had been shocked to see his fellow officers having to fight against their own countrymen in Swat.

Imam has one last warning, “I tell you when my nation rises up, it is not Afghanistan, not Iraq. There will be tremendous killing.

And why don't we learn from this?

Pakistan: Villagers enraged by mosque attack battle Taliban, kill 14

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan (CNN) -- Hundreds of Pakistani residents have taken up arms and are battling local Taliban militants in the wake of a deadly mosque attack last week.

It is the first major battle between the residents of northwest Pakistan and Taliban militants near the Afghanistan border.

The residents are outraged over a suicide attack on a local mosque during Friday prayers that killed at least 40 people and wounded some 80 others.

Starting on Saturday morning, some 400 villagers in the Upper Dir district formed a "lashkar" -- or militia -- to fight the Taliban, killing 14 of the militants as of Sunday evening, according to local administrator Atiq Ur Rehman. Four of the villagers have been injured in the battle, Rehman said.

The militia have burned a number of houses thought to be sheltering the militants, according to Upper Dir police chief Ijaz Kahn.

Both the residents and Taliban fighters are using heavy weapons, including rocket launchers and anti-aircraft weapons, Rehman said....

It is about time that these people stand up for themselves.

Pakistan: 12 year old Christian girl kidnapped, converted to Islam, and forced to "marry" Muslim

Now that all the Obama euphoria is settling down, it's business as usual in the Islamic world: "Pakistan: Muslim forces 12-year-old girl to convert, marry him," from Compass Direct News, June 5:

Police ridicule Christian mother for kidnapping complaint; others demand money, labor.

LAHORE, Pakistan, June 4 (Compass Direct News) – The Christian mother of a 12-year-old girl in Punjab Province who was kidnapped, coerced into converting to Islam and forcibly married to a 37-year-old Muslim hopes to recover her daughter at a court hearing next week.

The reaction of Pakistani law enforcement authorities to Sajida Masih’s complaint so far – ridiculing her and asserting that there is nothing she can do because her daughter is now a Muslim – does not encourage her hopes of recovering her daughter Huma at next Thursday’s (June 11) hearing.

Masih said that Muhammad Imran abducted Huma at gunpoint on Feb. 23 from Hanif Kot village in Gujranwala district, forcibly converted her and then married her. Imran, father of three children, has since disappeared along with his first wife, children and new child-bride.

Another land owner, Karamat Ali Saroyya, called Masih saying that Huma was in Muridke, but Masih and her lawyer were unable to find her there. Saroyya later demanded that Masih work his fields for one year to get her daughter back.

Jihad attack at Ohio State? Young woman stabbed by Muslim who fled to a mosque

This story assures us that Wael Kalash is mentally ill, but that would be more convincing if it weren't the constant refrain every time a Muslim engages in random violence in the U.S. Remember Omeed Popal? Ismail Yassin Mohamed? Naveed Haq? All Muslims, all violent against unbelievers, and all insane. And maybe they really were. Maybe Wael Kalash is also -- but his characteristically Muslim beard, his yelling "F*** YOU AMERICAN SL*T" at college girls, and his fleeing to a nearby mosque all suggest that perhaps his rage, and his violence, were particularly Islamic in character.

A female Ohio State student was trying to catch a bus to class Tuesday afternoon when she became the victim of a random stabbing.

Police say the 20-year-old student was walking down Stinchcomb Drive near Buckeye Village at 12:55 p.m. when she was stabbed by 34-year-old Wael W. Kalash. Witnesses said Kalash had been walking up and down the street exhibiting "bizarre" behavior before the stabbing occurred.

"There's no connection between the victim and him other than she was at the wrong place at the wrong time, it was a completely random act," said Det. Jay Fulton of the Columbus Division of Police homicide unit.

Witnesses said that Kalash, a resident of Stinchcomb Drive, walked up to the student and stabbed her once in the abdomen with a knife. The student described the weapon as a kitchen-type knife bigger than a steak knife but smaller than a bread knife.

While an ambulance took the student to Riverside Hospital to undergo surgery, officers saturated the area looking for the assailant. They soon found Kalash inside a nearby mosque at 535 Riverview Dr., where witnesses positively identified him as the assaulter. Kalash was arrested for felonious assault and is being held at Franklin County Jail on $750,000 bond.
Neighbors of Kalash said he has a history of "strange behavior," and Fulton said he may be mentally ill.

"He didn't make a lot of sense when we tried to talk to him," Fulton said. "He exhibited a lot of signs of some mental instability or some mental issues."...

However, Pamela points out that a comment at The Lantern site gives a very different impression of this man's "mental illness":

Actually I am a resident that lives in University Village next to his building that he lived in. He was always at the UV bus stop and riding the UV bus. Whenever I would drive by him while he was sitting out on the bus stop he would stand in front of my car making me slow down and stop and yell "F*** YOU AMERICAN SL*T". I am not being "anti-foreigner", but I am telling the truth. I spoke with several other girls and they said the same type of thing happened to them.

Actually I do not think this is "WRONG PLACE AT WRONG TIME" but rather a case of "eventually going to happen". The night of the stabbing I called into the Lantern to tell them of this incident clearly stating it occured [sic] at the University Village apartments, and that I myself had been verbally assulted [sic] several times by the man, Great work Lantern.

Is it really remotely "anti-foreigner" to point out that a man guilty of stabbing a young woman he didn't know used to yell "F*** YOU AMERICAN SL*T" at other college girls?

This is the way they do violent acts. They are waging jihad, and when caught they claim mental illness. In the crazy, backward, islamic world the family would pay blood money. The criminal would go free. You have to watch the blogs and muslim websites to see how often this happens. Then they run to the safe zone, the "holy" mosque. They think to themselves, "you can't touch me in here." Look at Iraq and Afghanistan, they pull the same shit. We need to take no prisoners in the sandbox ever again and in cases like this, they should just shoot these people.

Obama: I will ease post-9/11 scrutiny of Islamic charities

The Holy Land Foundation funneled millions of dollars to Hamas, but so what? What could go wrong?

Tucked away in President Obama's historic speech in Cairo Thursday was a promise to American Muslims to ease the impact of post-9/11 scrutiny of their charities.

"Rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation. That's why I'm committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat," said Obama, referring to the Muslim obligation to be charitable.

A Treasury Department spokeswoman, Natalie Wyeth, described an increased effort to talk with the groups, to "help them protect against terrorist abuse of charity and to refine the guidance surrounding charitable giving."

Ever since the World Trade Center attacks, fund-raising by American Muslims has come under repeated federal investigations for possible support of terrorism.

Just last week, a federal judge in Dallas sentenced five leaders of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development to between 15 and 65 years in prison after they were convicted of providing material support to Hamas.

American Muslims complain legitimate philanthropy has been hampered because the rules are ill-defined.

"The perception that giving to charities is financing terrorism has to be debunked," said Salam Al-Marayati, executive director of the Muslim Public Affairs Council. "It hurts America."...

The perception that giving to Islamic charities is financing terrorism doesn't hurt America. The possibility that giving to Islamic charities is financing terrorism hurts America.

All muslims are to wage jihad, but not all are required to fight. There are other ways to do this. They can support jihad by collaboration and financing. These "charities" are a front to get money to the muslim fighters. Obama is clearly a muslim. The whole muslim world calls him a muslim. I therefore, believe them.

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’

Obama promises Arabs Jerusalem will be theirs

Official: President said Palestinian state with holy city capital 'in American interest'

President Obama and his administration
told Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas during a meeting
last week the U.S. foresees the creation of a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, according to a top PA official speaking to WND.

"The American administration was very friendly to the position of the PA," said Nimer Hamad, Abbas' senior political adviser.

"Abu Mazen (Abbas) heard from Obama and his administration in a very categorical way that a Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital is in the American national and security interest," Hamad said.

Another PA official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told WND today that Obama informed Abbas he would not let Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu "get in the way" of normalizing U.S. relations with the Arab and greater Muslim world.

"We were told from this new administration they will not allow a Netanyahu government to hurt their efforts of rehabilitating U.S. relations with the Arab and Islamic world, which is a high priority of Obama," the official said, speaking during a visit to Cairo.

Also in Cairo today, Abbas met with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak, where the Palestinian leader briefed Egypt's president on his recent trip to Washington, saying the U.S. was committed to bringing about an end to Israeli construction in the West Bank.

Hamad's comments about Jerusalem today come as controversy abounded regarding the U.S. position on Israel's capital city.

Last week, the State Department refuted a speech in which Netanyahu said Jerusalem never will be divided.

"Jerusalem is Israel's capital," Netanyahu said at an event marking Jerusalem's reunification.

"Jerusalem was always ours and will always be ours. It will never again be partitioned and divided."

In response, the State Department released a statement that Jerusalem "is a final status issue."

"Israel and the Palestinians have agreed to resolve its status during negotiations. We will support their efforts to reach agreements on all final status issues," the statement said.

Also last week, a top Palestinian Authority official claimed in a WND interview that the Obama administration told the PA that Jerusalem will never be united under Israeli sovereignty.

"Americans said an open Jerusalem – yes. But a united Jerusalem under Israeli sovereignty – no," Hatem Abdel Khader, the PA's minister for Jerusalem affairs, said in comments to both WND and Israel's Ynetnews website.

"(The Obama administration) has made clear that Jerusalem must be accessible to everyone – but not united under Israel's rule," Khader said.

Khader claimed the U.S. is cooperating with the PA to "thwart Israel's plans in Jerusalem."

"When they collaborate with us in Israeli courts against home demolitions or the confiscation of land we see their attitude," he said.

Khader told WND, "The Americans are very present on the ground, and they are making pressure over Israeli authorities and even municipalities."

"They are acting according to the concept that the failure to establish a Palestinian state would jeopardize U.S. national security interests – and without Jerusalem there is no Palestinian state," he said.

I hate this president. He needs to be removed. This guy is definately a muslim.

Police hunting rape suspects

TAIF: Police have launched a hunt for seven men who allegedly kidnapped and raped a 15-year-old boy on his way to school in Taif on Saturday.

The teenager was walking in the Al-Shuhada district of the city when two cars blocked his way.

One of the drivers forced the boy inside his car by posing as a police officer wanting to check his identity. The men then took the youngster into the desert outside Taif.

The teenager tried to fight off his attackers, but was beaten by one of the men, said a police source. The men later dropped him off in Al-Wesam district.

The boy was unable to give plate numbers of the cars, but said one of the men made a telephone call, which police were able to trace. The victim also told police that one of the men lived in his neighborhood.
