Islamo-Fascism Week III: "Stop the Jihad on Campus"     

While America is finally winning the war in Iraq, the global effort against the Islamic jihad goes on. In Afghanistan, the war with al-Qaeda is still raging. In Gaza, Hamas continues to launch genocidal attacks against Israeli towns. Meanwhile, on American college campuses a coalition of organizations connected to the jihad network demonizes America and Israel. This coalition carries on its agendas of hate with the unwitting collaboration of student governments and university administrations.

In October 2007, more than one hundred campuses hosted Islamo-Fascism Awareness weeks to make university communities aware of the Islamist threat and the danger it poses.

In April 2008 a second Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week focused on the network created in America by the Muslim Brotherhood and that includes the Muslim Students Association and the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR).

This fall, during the week of October 13-17, students on more than 100 campuses will hold events under the banner of "Stop the Jihad on Campus," a campaign designed to make the university community aware of the support the Muslim Students Association, Students for Justice in Palestine and other leftist groups provide for the jihadists' hatred and agendas.

A focus of this campaign will be the genocidal nature of the jihad. Over one hundred Muslim Students Associations have refused to condemn the genocidal terror groups Hamas and Hizbullah, and have declined to repudiate the infamous Hadith or saying of the prophet which calls on Muslims to kill Jews to bring about the Day of Judgment.

The request to repudiate this incitement was sent to the Muslim Students Associations by the David Horowitz Freedom Center last spring. It has been re-sent recently. If the MSAs again refuse to condemn religious genocide and the organizations whose goal it is to carry it out, the “Stop the Jihad” movement will call for the defunding of MSA chapters who promote of ethnic hatred and refuse to condemn holy war.

The Muslim Students Association portrays itself as a religious and cultural organization, representing all Muslims. As a result, MSAs receive generous funding from student activities boards – often more than most other student groups. The University of Pennsylvania’s Muslim Students Association for example receives $20,000 from student government while college Republicans and Democrats receive nothing.

During May 2008, the Muslim Student Union at UC Irvine– a chapter of the Muslim Students Association -- specifically requested and received $6,500 for their “Palestine Awareness” program which called for the destruction of the Jewish state under the banner “Never Again? The Palestinian Holocaust.” The May 2008 Muslim Student Union hate-fest in support of terrorist groups like Hamas and Hezbollah at UCI included virulently anti-Israel and anti-American speakers such as imam Amir Abdel Malik Ali, imam Muhammad al-Asi and Norman Finkelstein.

The MSA is in fact an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, a terrorist organization, which has created a network of “front” groups to conduct a stealth jihad in America, including CAIR, the Muslim American Society and the Islamic Society of North America.

“Stop the Jihad on Campus” will seek to make the academic community aware of the stealth jihad in its midst and end university support for the hate agendas – against women, gays and Jews – which MSA-sponsored speakers have brought to campus.

The national MSA has sponsored hate speakers such as Sheik Khalid Yasin who has called for the execution of gays and accuses Jews of orchestrating the 9/11 terror attacks. Last spring, the MSA brought Sheik Yasin to Penn State, Ohio State, Minnesota State, the University of Minnesota, St. Cloud College and Sinclair Community College. The MSA has named its student scholarship fund after a member of the Muslim Brotherhood network, and has sponsored “Nakba” celebrations to coincide with Israel’s birth date and whose agenda is the destruction of the Jewish state.

Student leaders will be asked to press their student governments to defund their respective MSA chapters for sponsoring ethnic hatred and violating university rules and regulations. Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week will raise consciousness in campus communities across the nation as to the nature and presence of the jihad in their midst. Americans need to wake up to the threat that confronts them, before it is too late.

Spy Agencies Fear Some Applicants Are Terrorists


U.S. counterintelligence officials are increasingly concerned that Al Qaeda sympathizers or operatives may have tried to get jobs at the CIA and other U.S. agencies in an effort to spy on American counterterrorist efforts.

So far, about 40 Americans who sought positions at U.S. intelligence agencies have been red-flagged and turned away for possible ties to terrorist groups, the officials said. Several such applicants have been detected at the CIA.

“We think terrorist organizations have tried to insinuate people into our hiring pools,” said Barry Royden, a 39-year CIA veteran who is a counterintelligence instructor at the agency.

Also, three senior counterintelligence officials said they feared terrorist groups may be trying to place an “insider” in America’s fast-growing counterterrorist planning and operational networks as part of a long-term strategy to compromise U.S. intelligence efforts.

But unlike Royden, the officials added that it was still unclear if anyone had been assigned to infiltrate U.S. intelligence to commit espionage for a terrorist group. No one has been arrested, and no one has been linked to any new “sleeper cell” of suspected terrorists in America.

Royden’s remarks came at a national conference on counterintelligence held over the weekend at Texas A&M University. Other counterintelligence officials were interviewed separately.

The officials said that those who had come under suspicion were filtered out during the application process for providing false information, failing lie detector tests, applying to multiple spy services or flunking other parts of the application procedure.

But fear of possible penetration has grown because of what one official called “an intense competition” among America’s intelligence, military and contractor organizations.

They are seeking to hire thousands of skilled linguists, trained analysts and clandestine operatives who can blend into overseas communities to collect intelligence and to recruit foreign agents inside terrorist cells.

In some cases, the officials said, those most qualified for such sensitive jobs – naturalized Americans who grew up in the Middle East or South Asia, for example, and who are native speakers of Arabic, Farsi, Dari, Urdu and other crucial languages – have proved the most difficult to vet during background checks.

In addition, because of restrictions imposed by U.S. privacy laws, authorities at one spy service may not know that someone they had rejected later found a job at another agency or at a defense contractor working on classified systems.

“We’re looking at that very carefully,” said one counterintelligence official.

Osama bin Laden’s Al Qaeda network has used sophisticated reconnaissance and surveillance techniques in the past. Operatives have tested security systems at embassies and airports, taken photographs or sketched diagrams of potential targets, and used encrypted communications and computer programs to frustrate U.S. spying.

The FBI has assigned counterintelligence officers at its 56 field offices since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, said Timothy D. Bereznay, a senior FBI official. The effort is less intensive than in the mid-1980s, the height of the Cold War, when the bureau assigned a fourth of its agents to spy-hunting efforts.

Despite the deployment during that era, CIA officer Aldrich H. Ames, FBI agent Robert P. Hanssen and other American moles compromised hundreds of secret agents and intelligence projects, causing far more damage to national security than any spy sent by Moscow or its allies.

The Sept. 11 commission and several congressional investigations have sharply criticized the CIA and other intelligence agencies for hiring too few linguists who are fluent in Arabic or other target languages. They also have cited the CIA’s failure to recruit or plant any agents inside Al Qaeda who could provide reliable intelligence.

With vast increases in funding from Congress after the 2001 attacks, the 15 U.S. intelligence agencies launched sweeping recruitment programs. Most have been deluged with thousands of resumes and job applications, forcing several spy services to contract background checks to private firms.

The CIA director, Porter J. Goss, last month gave the White House plans to increase by 50% the number of CIA clandestine officers and analysts in an effort to improve intelligence on terrorist groups and the spread of weapons of mass destruction. During his Senate confirmation hearings in September, Goss said the agency would need years to train and deploy enough case officers to meet the current challenge.

“The great bulk of what we need is more than five years out there,” he said at the time.

The National Security Agency, the spy service that eavesdrops on communications to collect intelligence, announced plans last fall to hire 7,500 employees over the next five years to push the total NSA payroll to about 35,000. Among those being sought are linguists in Arabic and Chinese, regional analysts, communications signals intelligence specialists and computer experts.

The Pentagon’s Defense Intelligence Agency also has taken its job search public, running ads for human intelligence officers for the first time in the Economist and other publications. The little-known DIA hired TMP Worldwide, a New York-based advertising and communications firm, to improve its name recognition and attract more candidates.

The need to vastly improve counterintelligence efforts dominated the weekend Texas conference, which drew scores of current and former intelligence officials. The Office of the National Counterintelligence Executive, which Congress created in 2002 to coordinate counterintelligence efforts across the government, cosponsored the conclave, which was open to the media.

Michelle Van Cleave, director of the office, said the Bush administration had adopted a strategy that called for more pre-emptive action against foreign intelligence services and others viewed as threats to national security. She and other officials described the United States as the principal target for intelligence services from up to 90 countries around the world.

Paul Redmond, a longtime CIA officer who works for the counterintelligence office, called it an “actuarial certainty” that spies have infiltrated U.S. security agencies. He warned that, because of efforts since Sept. 11 to more widely share critical intelligence as part of broader reforms, the danger of espionage was growing.

“I think we’re worse off than we’ve ever been,” he said.

R. James Woolsey, who served as CIA director from 1993 to 1995, urged the agency to step up protections against spying by adherents of Wahabism and other extreme forms of militant Islam, which he compared to the threat from Soviet-era Communism.

“The Wahabis are not just a religious movement,” he said.

Lisa Bronson, the undersecretary of Defense in charge of vetting exports of defense-related materials, said China has “2,000 to 3,000 front companies” working in America to obtain so-called dual-use civilian equipment or information that could be used to help Beijing’s military.

Retired Navy Adm. William O. Studeman, a former NSA director who now sits on a panel that is reviewing U.S. intelligence efforts for the White House, said that “advertent and inadvertent leaks have now rivaled espionage” to compromise classified information.

Several speakers said that hacking of classified U.S. computer systems could pose the most dangerous threat. Spies who once needed to patiently photograph page after page of secret documents now, in theory, can quickly transmit millions of computerized pages into cyberspace or onto tiny devices holding gigabytes of data.

Former President George H.W. Bush, whose presidential library is at Texas A&M, opened the weekend conference with a fervent defense of the CIA. He headed the agency from November 1975 to January 1977.

Bush said it “burns me up to see the agency under fire” for flawed intelligence on prewar Iraq. He compared recent criticism to the Watergate-era congressional probes of domestic spying, assassination plots and other illegal CIA operations.

Congress “unleashed a bunch of untutored little jerks out there” to investigate the CIA then, Bush said. The inquiries, led by Sen. Frank Church (D-Idaho) and Rep. Otis G. Pike (D-N.Y.), led Congress to create the first intelligence oversight committees and to pass numerous laws to prevent further abuses.

The West's Islamist Infiltrators

Aafia Siddiqui, 36, is a Pakistani mother of three, an alumna of MIT, and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Brandeis University. She is also accused of working for Al-Qaeda and was charged last week in New York City with attempting to kill American soldiers.

Her arrest serves to remind how invisibly most Islamist infiltration proceeds. In particular, an estimated forty Al-Qaeda sympathizers or operatives have sought to penetrate U.S. intelligence agencies.

Such a well-placed infiltrator can wreck great damage explains a former CIA chief of counterintelligence, Michael Sulick: "In the war on terrorism, intelligence has replaced the Cold War's tanks and fighter planes as the primary weapon against an unseen enemy." Islamist moles, he argues, "could inflict far more damage to national security than Soviet spies," for the U.S. and Soviet Union never actually fought each other, whereas now, "our nation is at war."

Here are some American cases of attempted infiltration since 2001 that have been made public:


      The Air Force discharged Sadeq Naji Ahmed, a Yemeni immigrant, when his superiors learned of his pro-Al-Qaeda statements. Ahmed subsequently became a baggage screener at Detroit's Metro Airport, which terminated him for hiding his earlier discharge from the Air Force. He was convicted of making false statements and sentenced to eighteen months in jail.


      The Chicago Police Department fired Patricia Eng-Hussain just three days into her training on learning that her husband, Mohammad Azam Hussain, was arrested for being an active member of Mohajir Qaumi Movement-Haqiqi (MQM-H), a Pakistani terrorist group.


      The Chicago Police Department also fired Arif Sulejmanovski, a supervising janitor at its 25th District station after it learned his name was on a federal terrorist watch list of international terrorism suspects.


      Mohammad Alavi, an engineer at the Palo Verde nuclear power plant, was arrested as he arrived on a flight from Iran, accused of taking computer access codes and software to Iran that provide details on the plant's control rooms and plant layout. He subsequently pleaded guilty to transporting stolen property.


Nada Nadim Prouty, a Lebanese immigrant who worked for both the FBI and CIA, pleaded guilty to charges of: fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship; accessing a federal computer system to unlawfully query information about her relatives and the terrorist organization Hizballah; and engaging in conspiracy to defraud the United States.


Waheeda Tehseen, a Pakistani immigrant who filled a sensitive toxicologist position with the Environmental Protection Agency, pleaded guilty to fraud and was deported. WorldNetDaily.com explains that "investigators suspect espionage is probable, as she produced highly sensitive health-hazard documents for toxic compounds and chemical pesticides. Tehseen also was an expert in parasitology as it relates to public water systems."


Weiss Rasool, 31, a Fairfax County police sergeant and Afghan immigrant, pleaded guilty for checking police databases without authorization, thereby jeopardizing at least one federal terrorism investigation.


Nadire P. Zenelaj, 32, a 911 emergency operator of Albanian origins, was charged with 232 felony counts of computer trespass for illegally searching New York State databases, including at least one person on the FBI's terrorist watch list.

Three other cases are less clear. The Transportation Security Administration fired Bassam Khalaf, 21, a Texan of Christian Palestinian origins, as an airport baggage screener because lyrics on his music CD, Terror Alert, applaud the 9/11 attacks. FBI Special Agent Gamal Abdel-Hafiz "showed a pattern of pro-Islamist behavior," according to author Paul Sperry, that may have helped acquit Sami Al-Arian of terrorism charges. The Pentagon cleared Hesham Islam, an Egyptian immigrant, former U.S. Navy commander, and special assistant to the deputy secretary of defense, but major questions remain about his biography and his outlook.

Other Western countries too – Australia, Canada, Israel, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom – have been subject to infiltration efforts. (For details, see my weblog entry, "Islamists Penetrate Western Security.")

This record prompts one to wonder what catastrophe must occur before government agencies, some of which have banished the words "Islam" and "jihad," seriously confront their internal threat?

Westerners are indebted to Muslim agents like Fred Ghussin and "Kamil Pasha" who have been critical to fighting terrorism. That said, I stand by my 2003 statement that "There is no escaping the unfortunate fact that Muslim government employees in law enforcement, the military and the diplomatic corps need to be watched for connections to terrorism."

Jihadists plot fatal pies in the face

Leftist pie-throwers are always a risk on campus, but the next pie could kill. "Jury told of cake-throwing terror tactic," by Margaret Scheikowski for AAP. David Horowitz, and outspoken individual against Jihad in America, has been one of the many recipients of some of these pies.

THE book at the centre of a terrorism related trial in Sydney lists assassination methods including smothering a target by throwing a "cake".

The book states "cake throwing" is well-known in the west, and suggests that instead of the sweets, an "adhesive substance could be used".

Another method listed is wrapping the target in "a strong plastic bag", which the book says hardly leaves a trace on the body and could leave the impression that it was suicide....

In the Crown's opening address on Wednesday, Peter Neil SC said Khazaal produced the 110 page book in September 2003 and soon after caused it to be posted on an internet website.

He said the book espoused a type of jihad which was "very violent" in order to advance the Muslim religion in the world....

The book is titled: Provisions on the rules of jihad - short judicial rulings and organisational instructions for fighters and mujahideen against infidels.

It is dedicated to various people including: "the prisoners languishing in the prisons of tyrants be it infidels, apostates or hypocrites, Christians or Jews or Infidels, Idolater and apostate".

Twelve methods of assassination are listed, including detonating a car from a distance, sniping, booby trapping a room, storming houses, poison, shooting down planes and striking motorcades.

The smothering section includes drowning and the cake throwing technique.

"A couple could pretend to be joking before attacking the target," the translation reads.

"This would lead to his eyes, nose and mouth being plugged and loses the ability to breathe.

"Few would suspect the fatal consequences."...

It leaves to question what else could be placed into these pies.

Chicago’s Hamas Youth

During the 1990s, the Hamas infrastructure within the United States was complete. It consisted of a propagation outlet, the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP); a financing wing, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF); a command center, the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR); and a defense mechanism, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Today, only the latter exists, along with a remnant of the IAP, the Mosque Foundation. Both have a presence in the Chicago area, where group and mosque are working hard to indoctrinate young Muslims into radical Islam.

In 1981, two Muslim Brotherhood entities, which later would be widely regarded as being aligned with the terrorist Hamas, were established within the Chicago area of Illinois. One, the IAP, was created as a collaboratory effort between future Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook and future Palestinian Islamic Jihad leader Sami Al-Arian. Soon after the onset of the violent Palestinian Intifada against Israel, which began in 1987 and which gave birth to Hamas, the IAP became a publishing house for the Hamas charter and Hamas terror training videos.

The other entity that was created in ’81 was the Mosque Foundation (MF), also known as the Bridgeview Mosque. The center was actually founded 30 years earlier, but in 1981, MF’s original leaders were ousted, as the property was taken over by the North American Islamic Trust (NAIT). NAIT, an extremist Muslim Brotherhood offshoot, was recently named by the U.S. government as a co-conspirator for a federal trial dealing with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas.

Both the IAP and MF were interconnected to each other, as the heads of the IAP were also leaders of the mosque. Two former National Chairmen of the IAP, Rafiq Jaber and Sabri Samirah, were Presidents of MF. Samirah, returning from a trip to Jordan in January of 2003, was refused entry into the United States, deemed a “security risk.” Another of the mosque’s leaders, a former MF Executive Committee member, Muhammad Salah, was sentenced to 21 months in prison for lying under oath.

Today, of the two entities, only the Mosque Foundation exists. The IAP, shortly after it was found liable for the Hamas murder of American teenager, David Boim, in December of 2004, shut down its operations. However, before it left the scene, it created what is today one of the largest Muslim organizations in the United States, CAIR.

CAIR was established in June of 1994. Its founders include Jaber, former IAP Spokesman Nihad Awad, and former IAP President Omar Ahmad. Itself, it has lost a number of representatives to conviction and deportation. And while MF lost its partner, the IAP, it discovered a new one in CAIR.

In the ‘Multimedia’ section of MF’s website, there is found a video celebrating the mosque’s 25th anniversary. It was produced by CAIR-Chicago, a.k.a. CAIR-Illinois, board member Alif Muhammad. As well, the interviewer in the video is CAIR-Chicago Communications Coordinator Sultan Muhammad. This is not the only project that CAIR and MF have come together for.

In the Spring of 2007, CAIR-Chicago sponsored its first Muslim Youth Leadership Symposium (MYLS) – called the Young Chicago Muslim Leadership Symposium – as a way to educate Muslim teens on how to become community activists. At the venue, kids wore shirts with the MYLS slogan: “Constructive Citizenship for a better America.” But for CAIR, “better America” means a United States run by Hamas.

In 2007, MYLS was co-sponsored by the DePaul University Muslim Law Students’ Association (MLSA). This year, MYLS is co-sponsored by the Mosque Foundation. Indeed, the MF logo is found on every one of MYLS’ 13 web pages, which happen to all be hosted on CAIR-Chicago’s website.

According to the MYLS ‘Co-Sponsors’ page, “THE MOSQUE FOUNDATION provides a welcoming, worshipful environment where both men and women may pray with peace of mind and a sense of home.” Yet, the Chicago Tribune paints an entirely different picture. In its February 2004 piece entitled ‘Hard-liners won battle for Bridgeview mosque,’ it states, “Among the leaders at the Bridgeview mosque are men who have condemned Western culture, praised Palestinian suicide bombers and encouraged members to view society in stark terms: Muslims against the world.”

One of the coarse individuals the Tribune discusses in its piece is Jamal Said, the imam of MF. Said, named a co-conspirator in the 2007 federal Hamas financing trial, is pictured shoulder to shoulder with the keynote speaker of MYLS’ Spring 2008 symposium, U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison. Said also spoke at the event, as well as MF’s Associate Director (and former IAP board member) Kifah Mustapha and MF’s President Sahloul Mohammed.

MYLS’ Summer 2008 symposium featured as speakers teacher and board member of the Zaytuna Institute, Zaid Shakir, and Chicago Sun-Times reporter Rummana Hussain. As well, CAIR-Chicago Executive Director and CAIR’s National Strategic Communications Director, Ahmed Rehab, spoke. Rehab, who likes to pawn himself off as a “moderate Muslim” by wearing trendy clothes and flamboyant glasses – he even posed half-nude for photos on his personal website – donned a keffiyeh for the kids. Keffiyes, made popular during the Intifada, are head coverings or scarves which are commonly worn as symbols of Palestinian violence.

The young people that attend CAIR’s and MF’s MYLS functions may very well be clueless as to how they are being used to spread radical Islam. They wear the colorful shirts that they are given, they joke around with their fellow symposium-goers, and they listen and learn from community elders and spiritual leaders, unaware of the indoctrination process that is taking place all along. Eventually, they will come to know that they are part of a secret society of extremism and destruction. The big question is, at that point, will they be willing to walk away from the hate or have they already been too far gone in the process?

'Jihad' suspect's statements to be allowed
'My intentions were to do something in America'

A judge has ruled that statements from terror suspect Syed Haris Ahmed about his planned "jihad" will be allowed at his trial.

The decision from U.S. Magistrate Gerrilyn Brill was considered a victory for prosecutors in the case that accuses the former Georgia Tech student, along with co-defendant Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.

The 64-page ruling from Brill this week said Ahmed was "deeply religious" but he also was 21 years old, intelligent and there was no reason to believe his statements had been coerced, according to a report in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"We are very pleased with the court's thorough and well-reasoned opinion rejecting defendant Ahmed's motion to suppress the highly incriminating statements he made to the FBI," U.S. Attorney David Nahmias told the paper.

Ahmed was born in Pakistan but is a naturalized U.S. citizen. He and Sadequee were suspected of being behind videos of various Washington-area buildings found on the computer of Younis Tsouli, who called himself "Terrorist 007" and is in prison for terror-related acts in the United Kingdom.

Under questioning from the FBI, Ahmed ultimately took the investigators to his parents' home where he retrieved a camera used to make the videos, and admitted they could be used for "some kind of terrorist act," the paper reported.

"We could be spies for the people over there,” Ahmed told the agents, the paper said.

He also referred to "jihadi brothers" and told investigators he hoped to be recruited into a jihadi camp for training to fight oppressors. He reported to the agents he took a trip to Canada to meet with "brothers" and talk about attacks on oil refineries, satellites, and the military.

In one exchange, the newspaper said, Ahmed told agents he had thought about committing a terrorist act in America.

"My intentions were to do something in America," he said."Yes, attack."

Both defendants in the case have pleaded innocent and are being held without bond for trials that have yet to be scheduled.

Terror-Front CAIR-OK "Trains" Norman Police: "When one officer asked if the Muslim community would help a victim of domestic violence, Hashmi said Muslim leaders take a stance against domestic violence"

Local police are working to become more familiar with members of the diverse communities they are sworn to protect.

Muslim cultural awareness sessions were conducted for Norman police Tuesday, and police Lt. Eric Lehenbauer said more of the sessions are planned for Monday.

"I think as officers going out to provide law enforcement services, understanding those cultures is invaluable,” Lehenbauer said.

"Religion is something that goes very deep for all of us.”

‘As diverse as America'
Razi Hashmi, executive director of the Council on American Islamic Relations Oklahoma chapter, conducted Tuesday's morning sessions for about 10 officers.

He discussed misconceptions about Islam and Muslims and told officers to remember that individuals do not represent nations or entire religions.

"We're as diverse as America itself,” Hashmi said of Muslims.

He talked about the Quran and common myths about Muslims, including the misconception that Islam permits a man to beat his wife. When one officer asked if the Muslim community would help a victim of domestic violence, Hashmi said Muslim leaders take a stance against domestic violence.

Hashmi said the Council on American Islamic Relations' goal is to secure "genuine trust” between the Muslim community and law enforcement by creating bridges of understanding between them.

“Zero Tolerance” for “Honor Killings”?

The Council on American-Islamic Relations – Canada (CAIR-CAN) recently issued a press release calling for “zero tolerance” regarding domestic abuse in Canada.

     The press release involved a 16 year-old teenager, Aqsa Parvez, who was apparently strangled to death by her father for refusing to wear the traditional hijab outside her home. Her father has reportedly confessed to the murder.

     Completely missing from both the news report and CAIR-Canada’s press release is the simple fact that this was another religiously-mandated “honor killing”, one that takes place with great regularity in the Middle East, and now increasingly in the West as Islam spreads world-wide.

     Many Muslim families find the West to be not only foreign, but seemingly hostile to their religious beliefs. The idea that girls and women can walk alone outside the home, uncovered; go to school unescorted; even travel great distances without a male family escort or without permission is simply unthinkable. They view any society that allows these activities to be weak and immodest in the eyes of their version of Allah.

      CAIR-CAN goes on to quote Islamic Social Services Association President Shahina Siddiqui, who paints this murder as:

“... a problem that cuts across Canadian society…”

      But is it?

     Do non-Muslims murder their children based on religious conviction? If so, how often has it occurred in the past? We did a cursory check of Canadian newspapers and we could not find any cases of non-Muslims murdering their children based on religious beliefs in the recent past. However, that same check revealed an article in the Vancouver Sun that stated:

A 14-year-old female rape victim is strangled to death in March 2004 by her father
and brother because she has supposedly tarnished the family name.

     In April 2004, a man brutally kills his wife and daughter after finding out that
his brother had previously molested them.

     A teenage girl with a Turkish background has her throat cut by her father
after he learns she has a Christian boyfriend.

     All three of these cases had in common a single faith, Islam; a brutal murder at the hands of a family member; and were committed against Muslim females.

     By attempting to equate honor killings with other domestic abuse cases, CAIR-Canada is covering up the unique nature of Canadian Islamic honor killings and thus resolving itself of any need to take pro-active action to prevent them in the future.

     Why?

     Could it be because CAIR-Canada subscribes to Wahhabi Islam, that odious brand of Islam where honor killings are not only allowed, but are expected when female Muslims 'forget their place' in Islamic society? The same Wahhabi Islam that would sentence a  rape victim to 200 lashes for violating Shariah law?

     CAIR-Canada knows, as does its American master, that calling for an end to honor killings will upset their Saudi overlords.

     Like a good little lap-dog, CAIR-Canada knows who holds the leash ...

Not only Canadian society but here in the U.S. also as has been seen in recent news reports of "Honor Killings".

“Hadith of Hate” Banned at USC


As Muslim Student Association (MSA) chapters have become increasingly influential at universities and colleges around the country, critics have charged that it is a hate group that sympathizes with the international jihad and promulgates an anti-American and anti-Semitic ideology in its campus actions. In response, the MSA has claimed that it is merely another religious and cultural group similar to Hillel, a club for Jewish students, or the Newman Club for Catholics. That deception has been now unmasked at the University of Southern California, where the school’s Provost, Chrysostomos L. Max Nikias, reacting to a call from the David Horowitz Freedom Center and the Simon Wiesenthal Center, has ordered the campus MSA to remove a “despicable” hadith calling for Muslims to murder Jews as a condition for redemption from its website.

David Horowitz, President of the Freedom Center, hails this as a breakthrough moment when the double standards that control the political and intellectual culture of most universities have finally been challenged. “Up to now, the slightest criticism of radical Islam on campus has been slammed as ‘Islamophobia,’ while Muslim groups and their radical fellow travelers have been allowed to say the most hateful things imaginable about Christians and Jews without any reaction from university administrators whatsoever,” Horowitz says. “Provost Nikias has called the hadith on the MSA website for what it is: despicable. Given the atmosphere that prevails on most campuses today, it was an act of integrity on his part to make this call and to demand that the MSA live up to basic standards of civility that should govern the university.”

The hadith (sacred teaching) reads as follows:

    “Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him….”

Its presence on the MSA website is consistent with other actions the Muslim group has initiated on the USC campus. In 2005, for instance, it hosted a conference featuring a speech by Islamist Ahmed Shama, who praised Hizbollah, Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, and told his listeners that the terrorists in post-Saddam Iraq were part—as was the Muslim Student Association itself—of a “global Islamic movement” and that it was “necessary to rise up against the occupation there.”

The David Horowitz Freedom Center worked with the Simon Wiesenthal Center to draft a letter to Alan Casden, a USC trustee, about the “hadith of hate,” as it is often called. Disturbed that a call for genocide should be on the USC server, Casden contacted Provost Chrysostomos Nikias to express his concern. Nikias investigated the matter and sent Casden the following letter:

    “…The passage you cited is truly despicable and I share your concerns about its being on the USC server. We did some investigations and I have ordered the passage removed.

    “The passage in the Hadith that you brought to our attention violates the USC Principles of Community, and it has no place on a USC server.”

The University of Southern California Principles of Community states in part: “No one has the right to denigrate another human being on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, etc. We will not tolerate verbal or written abuse, threats, harassment, intimidation or violence against person or property.” No student group other than the Muslim Student Association has posted any kind of material, religious or otherwise, calling for the destruction of a race or group.

USC’s decision to remove the hadith from the school’s server marks the first time that an American university has acknowledged that the Muslim Student Association’s agenda involves the promotion of ethnic hatred. It is also the first time that an administrator has acted quickly to censure “despicable” material. Rabbi Aron Hier of the Simon Wiesenthal Center hailed Provost Nikias’ decision: “We commend USC for having the moral courage to stand up against those who hijack speech and religious freedoms and the goodwill of the campus community in order to spread hate and extremist violence.”

“This episode shows that fighting injustice can produce results,” Freedom Center President David Horowitz added. “It also shows what kind of an organization the Muslim Students Association is, which is why the Freedom Center has launched a nationwide campaign, Stop the Jihad on Campus Week, which will culminate the week of October 13.”

The goals of Stop the Jihad on Campus Week are to rally students across the country to sign a petition against the “hadith of hate” and to convince student governments to defund the Muslim Students Association.

Frankfort Township Assessor Paul Ruff stands by e-mail on Islam, immigrants
Official does not apologize for distributing missive in June

Despite outrage from the local Muslim community, a Frankfort Township official did not apologize Wednesday for circulating an e-mail with anti-Islamic sentiments.

"The e-mail's basic message was that people coming to this country should adapt," Township Assessor Paul Ruff said in a statement. "This wasn't a hateful e-mail, but one that touched upon a sentiment in this country and around the world that immigrants have to adapt to their new homes."

Statements in the e-mail were attributed to former Australian Prime Minister John Howard, who a few years ago ignited controversy with criticism of Islam and statements asserting that immigrants need to adapt to their new country.

Ruff said he did not write the content of the e-mail, and its origins were unknown.

The flap has drawn the ire of the Council on American-Islamic Relations of Chicago and members of a mosque in Frankfort, prompting residents and religious leaders to hold a town hall meeting last week to discuss discrimination against Muslims. Ruff did not attend the meeting.

"It's kind of a shock," Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the council, said Wednesday. "Clearly this is offensive behavior on behalf of a public official."

Ruff held a news conference at the township hall to defend himself against critics of the e-mail, which he acknowledges forwarding in June to people he knew.

Two Will County sheriff's deputies were present at the township hall in case of a disturbance. Before Ruff spoke, officials distributed copies of letters to the editor from a local newspaper and played audio recordings of voice-mail messages from people who agree with Ruff.

Among the voice-mail messages were statements such as: "Thank you for standing up for our way of life" and "It's about time someone had the you-know-what to speak up."

Rehab criticized Ruff's use of the township hall for his news conference and was frustrated by the distribution of letters to the editor.

"If we were unhappy with his behavior before, this is even worse," he said. "He can't keep hiding behind somebody else's name and passing out material that is hateful to support his perspective."

Ruff said he is not a bigot or a racist, noting he has black and Hispanic neighbors. However, he did reiterate sentiments in the e-mail that denounced Islam and said the religion "institutionalizes discrimination against women and non-Muslims."

Tariq Khan, a board trustee for the American Islamic Association, which operates the Frankfort mosque, said he believes Ruff's response will further strain relations with the Muslim community.

"It's unfortunate that he's been so stubborn in not apologizing," said Khan, who arrived at the township hall moments after the news conference ended. "It's time to move on. He is a fine public servant, but I feel he made an error in judgment. "

Ruff said he was being smeared by people angry about their property assessments.

Phyllis Leonardo, 75, of Beecher said she came to support Ruff after seeing criticism of him in the newspaper.

"They're trying to change our way of living," she said. "Why are we selling our country out?"

[Soldier4Christ]

What I find interesting is that the email that Ruff forwarded did not once mention islam/muslims or any word that could be directly associated with them. It was a broad statement about American sentiments on people immigrating here and assimilating into the American culture instead of trying to change it completely to be what the very culture is that they just left.

It is more proof of the intent of muslim "communities" wanting to rule over America with sharia law.

Coloradans give Al Jazeera negative reaction
Middle East network covering DNC from office in Denver suburb

Residents of suburban Golden, Colo., say they don't want the Middle East television network Al Jazeera setting up a broadcast office in town for the coming Democratic convention, forcing the city manager to withdraw an invitation to network officials to join him for a picnic.

According to the Denver Post, Golden City Manager Mike Bestor withdrew an invitation to the crew for the news channel known for broadcasting updates from al-Qaida.

The controversy arose when area residents discovered the network was setting up a base of operations from which to cover the DNC in the Denver suburb.

Bestor said he issued the barbecue invitation to Al Jazeera English officials as a private citizen after the network said it wanted to do interviews at the gathering. The network had contracted with a local bar, the Buffalo Rose, to use as a base for its operations during the DNC.

But residents took their complaints to the city council, demanding officials not allow the network to broadcast from town.

"I am not happy about Al Jazeera infiltrating our small town and portraying us however they see fit," resident Dawne Montoya told KWGN-TV.

City officials said the Arab network approached them about broadcasting from Golden and no city money would go towards the project. They stand by their decision, even though residents are objecting.

"We treated them like any other news organization, we believe in the First Amendment, freedom of speech, freedom of press is so vitally important," Bestor told the station.

Al Jazeera representatives contended their network is misrepresented in America and has no agenda but to show the world what American politics are all about.

"I think it's unfortunate when people try to stifle different voices when people don't want to hear or allow other people to hear what is being said," spokesman Rob Reynolds told KWGN.

In a statement on the city's website, officials said the city council "listened to a large volume of public comment" regarding Al Jazeera during its city council meeting Aug. 21.

The city concluded it "doesn't have the right to restrict or prohibit Al Jazeera or any other news agency from broadcasting out of the city, whether we approve of their coverage or not, whether we share their perspectives or not, whether we find their coverage offensive or not."

The city statement said Bestor had offered the invitation to Al Jazeera to his barbecue "believing that doing so would enable him to ensure that a representative group of Golden citizens were interviewed and that Golden would be "fairly represented."

But he apologized for the "divisiveness" his actions had brought about and confirmed he did not mean any disrespect for "the many brave veterans and men and women currently serving this country in the Armed Forces."

Al Jazeera English, a division of the parent Al Jazeera, debuted in 2006 and claims 100 million viewers worldwide. The parent, an Arabic language network, has been controversial for its broadcast of videos showing Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida leaders.

Just weeks earlier, the parent company admitted to "unethical" behavior in its coverage of Israel's release of convicted Lebanese terrorist Samir Kuntar.

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz said Israel's government press office raised the issue of the network's coverage of the welcome-home festivities for Kuntar in which the head of Al Jazeera's Beirut office, Ghassan bin Jiddo, praised the terrorist, calling him a "pan-Arab hero."

Kuntar was convicted of murdering four Israelis, two adults and two children, during a 1979 terrorist attack. He was released last month as part of a deal with Hezbollah. In exchange, Israel received the bodies of kidnapped soldiers Ehud Goldwasser and Eldad Regev.

Haaretz reported bin Jiddo previously was awarded Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah's first interview of the Second Lebanon War. But bin Jiddo also told Syrian television officials he never would agree to interview Israelis.

Islamofascist Anisa Abd El Fattah declares Michelle Malkin “an enemy of the people”, incites violence against Jews, Christians

When the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) was founded, the HAMAS network leaders in the US turned to one of its own, Anisa Abd El Fattah/Caroline F. Keeble to serve as one of its founding board members. Her two mentors and former employers, HAMAS chief Mousa Abu Marzook and Abdurahman Alamoudi, have respectively been designated a terrorist and convicted of terrorist support. Thus, she is quite familiar with both the overt and more subtle methods of cultural terrorism.

Recently, Anisa Abd El Fattah, a Central Ohio resident, published an editorial inciting violence against her old enemy — “Judeo/Christian fascists”. This time around, however, she put a face with the name: conservative media pundit and blogger Michelle Malkin. Her article, “Michelle Malkin: Enemy of the People and the US Constitutiion [sic]”, was published in a number of places, including her National Association of Muslim American Women blog.

In the article (reprinted below), Fattah encourages her supporters to “fight back”, demanding that they fight “more forcefully”, against her enemy. She also recommends that federal racketeering statutes and criminal charges be used to silence the “Judeo/Christian fascists”.

Those who have been following my reporting on Anisa Abd El Fattah’s local activities might recall that late last year she was publicly defending neo-Nazis in a published interchange with law professor Eugene Volokh. She later came out defending the neo-Nazi website, STORMFRONT. And in December, she spoke to a student group acknowledged by the FBI to be a front group for the Iranian mullahocracy.

Thus, it isn’t hard to catch the irony of her jihad against Malkin.

Before getting to her article declaring Malkin “an ememy of the state” — a term used by Lenin to designate those dissidents and other innocents who were to be executed or sent to the gulags — it is worth recalling that this is hardly the first time that Anisa Abd El Fattah has come out inciting violence. Take for instance her letter to the editor published last September in the Columbus Dispatch, where she declares that all Israelis, including women and children, are enemy combatants and legitimate targets for HAMAS “military operations”. No doubt she considers Malkin (and presumably, myself) in that same category.

Also worth remembering is how Anisa Abd El Fattah was interviewed for an open position on the Columbus Public School Board, operating under her given name, Caroline F. Keeble, and conventiently excluding troubling items on her resume, such as her tenure with the HAMAS front, the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR), and her close association to convicted Al-Qaeda bag man, Abdurahman Alamoudi. The families in Central Ohio dodged a bullet (pardon the pun) when she was not selected for the open school board position.

So without further ado, here is Anisa Abd El Fattah in her own words:

    Michelle Malkin: Enemy of the people and US Constitutiion[sic]?
    by Anisa ’Abdel Fattah [Detroit]

    After reading several of the right wing blogs, and the comments left mostly by right wing supporters commenting on the Michelle Malkin, Rachel Ray scarf situation, I realized that Michelle Malkin, who poses as a mere conservative columnist and commentator is actually more likely an enemy of the people of this country, that is out to undo our Constitution. I know it sounds far fetched, but when you read the titles of this woman’s books, and her opinions on rights and freedoms, it becomes pretty clear that she is no patriot, and that she has not grasped the importance of individual liberties as essential elements of freedom and self governance, and has no respect for US law and traditions.

    Either like, or along with the Judeo/Christian religious right who is almost daily taking actions aimed at limiting, depriving and violating the constitutional rights of US citizens through the use of public censure, and threats, Malkin is out to demonstrate how the Constitution can be forced into obsolescence simply with a flick of the pen, a few wicked and inflammatory lies, and threats. Whereas the law may not necessarily prohibit the right of any person to hold a view such as Malkin’s, such tactics might be criminal if carried out with others like racketeering, according to some readings of the RICOH [sic] Act.

    When such tactics and views become the methodology of choice for a number of people and organizations, working in concert, and very obviously acting to overthrow the constitution of this country and to replace it with their unethical, racist and fascist Judeo/Christian ideology, America has a problem and it’s bigger than Dunkin Donuts.

    Anyone who remembers the run up to the Iraq war is familiar with these tactics. They were used to shut down, or vilify and silence all voices that opposed the war, or who challenged the lies disguised as intelligence that became the cause for war. We now know that the primary advisors to the President during that time were not military men, or even lawyers and Constitutional experts. The presidential advisers that helped lead us into an unnecessary war based upon lies were the Judeo/Christian movement pastors and political operatives that took over our government after 9/11 through political appointments, or who were granted access through US Congress people who eat from, and are sustained by the garbage in the Judeo/Christian Zionist trough. They are not finished. Bush has until January in office, and they plan to use that time to further their agenda.

cont'd

[Soldier4Christ]

Having succeeded in imposing their devilish vision of Judeo/Christian dominance over the world, brought about through the use of US military force and proselytizing in Iraq, they are acting now to lead us into another unnecessary war, this time with Iran. Malkin, who wrote a book, explaining why Muslims, Arabs and other Americans should be held in detention camps as they prosecute these illegal wars, is now at work insuring that everyone is put on notice that there will be no dissent allowed this time either, not even symbolic dissent.

Malkin’s most recent assault against the American people and our US Constitution is her attempt to use public censure as a means to deny us our constitutionally protected rights to hold a dissenting and unpopular view, and also to hold and express a political opinion, and to express that opinion in our dress, or any other way that we and not Malkin chooses. Malkin and the right wing fascists that support her are a danger to the United States, since they threaten to overturn by stealth, everything that our founders and the noble men and women who struggled for freedom from the British Empire fought for without due process. It seems that they plan to take over the country, and in fact the world, by force.

The people of this country have a constitutionally protected right to hold unpopular and dissenting political and even religious views without the threat of organized campaigns designed purely to deny or to deprive us of those rights. American citizens also have the right to express such views, whether it is through our choice of clothing, or speech, or our choice of whom to financially support through financial contributions, etc. The Supreme Court has consistently upheld these rights, and has never wavered in its interpretations.

Malkin or others have no right to organize to deprive us of our rights, or to threaten and intimidate businesses, and other institutions in this country with harm should they act in deference to the US Constitution and citizen’s rights.

Since this most recent effort by the fanatical right to undermine the US Constitution is centered on a scarf and a donut maker’s advertisement for coffee, it may seem to be a trite and unimportant incident. When we consider what is at stake, if every business in the US, every school, or other institution falls in lockstep with Malkin and her fascist cohorts, what we will lose will be the very Constitution that our founders and subsequent generations of patriots have fought and died for. Our freedoms and our rights will be past history. We will all be forced to live by the rules of John Hagee, Rod Parsley, Pat Robertson, and Joe Lieberman. Our country will be a place where we must all dress the same, think the same and worship the same, sacrifice our lives and treasure for Israel, or be subjected to organized campaigns of defamation and scourging, and censure.

Perhaps as a former soldier who once took an oath to protect the US Constitution and my country, I am particularly sensitive to the ploys of people like Malkin, and her co-conspirators. They claim to be patriots, while they are actually more likely to be subversives who use their rights to deny others the freedoms that God bestowed upon us all equally, regardless of our races, religions, or political affiliations.

If we are smart, we will not let this recent attack on the constitution just go away, and wait quietly for the fascist’s next assault. It’s time that the people of this country wake up, and realize that whether we like it or not, we are involved in a cold war for the very soul of our country, and the Constitution that protects that soul in the same way that Holy Books protect and validate the practice of religion.

We must not surrender to Malkin and those who feel that the US Constitution can be forced into obsolescence or rendered irrelevant by the force of public censure and threats. The United States is a republic that is governed by law, not public opinion.

We, the people, must organize to fight this cold war in defense of our constitution, never failing to speak and to stand for the unbridled constitutional rights of every citizen in this country, and especially the right to hold dissenting views, and to express those views whether it be through our choice of dress, fashion, fundraising, protesting, marching, speaking, etc., etc., etc., that we choose.

Michelle Malkin has proven on more than one occasion that she is a person who has not understood the US Constitution, and its significance. Perhaps she feels that we are all like Dunkin Donuts and the other people and institutions that she has whipped with her fascist tongue and pen, and threatened into conformity. We should let her, and her cohorts know that they have underestimated the American people, and that we also have a pen, and a cause. I pray that every decent American who loves their country will boycott Dunkin Donuts until they restore the Rachel Ray advertisement. I hope that everywhere Michelle Malkin shows up to spread and spew her hateful anti-American venom, crowds of freedom loving people will be there to shout her down.

The luxury of apathy has ended. Malkin fired one of many salvos fired by the Judeo/Christian fascists, when she sought to make the case that American citizens should be denied the right to political freedom and public expression, and that those who refuse to conspire with her and her fellow stooges should be threatened into complicity and conformity. We must respond equally, if not more forcefully, without using the fascist tactics they employ.

Part of this response must be to put US businesses and other institutions on notice. If they think Malkin and her crew are to be feared, imagine a United States run by the likes of Malkin, and the other right wing fascist who have taken over the US airways and blogs in an effort to systematically undermine the US Constitution, and to deny and deprive us of our Constitutional rights. If you want to live by the laws of Hagee, Robertson, Parsley and Malkin, keep kowtowing.

If we want to remain free, we must fight back.

All of this coming from an individual that has advocated the replace of the U.S. Constitution with sharia law. If we truly want to remain free, we must speak out against the threats of violence and the strategy of cultural terrorism advocated by Islamofascists, such as Anisa Abd El Fattah, by continuing to resist and expose her “Final Solution” to the “Judeo/Christian” problem.

    Ingrid Mattson, Muslims at Democratic Convention, ISNA…

    Fox News is confused about why the DNC would invite Ingrid
    Mattson to an interfaith gathering on the eve of the DNC convention.
    What’s so confusing?
    Well, for starters, Ingrid Mattson, a scholar at Hartford Seminary, is a Muslim.
    Furthermore, Ingrid Mattson is the president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), a national, mainstream Muslim organization based in Plainfield, IN.
    So what, you ask? I’m wondering the same thing - so what?

    The blogosphere and necon pundits are tripping over one another Dr. Mattson’s involvement at the democratic convention.
    Dr. Mattson is being labeled a radical and a terrorist sympathizer and her organization (ISNA) is being labeled a front from the Muslim Brotherhood. None of this is true, but when did truth ever get in the way of Islamophobes


_______________

Well, here it comes: the Muslim spin cycle. Should we really be that surprised? Once again, the poor downtrodden Muslims are being misunderstood and the Religion of Peace is being maligned. And who are the evil forces at work this time, busily manipulating the facts and slandering Islam? Why it is none other than the “necon” Islamophobes. And who are these dark entities? Our intrepid Muslim reporter lists three: Atlas Shrugs, The Gates of Vienna, and yours truly, Radarsite. Thank you for that AMJ; I am honored to be in such fine company. But, I’m left to wonder — is there anyone out there who will actually fall for this claptrap? the answer, unfortunately, seems to be, Yes. There are still those liberal PC multicultural types who will eat this up, and automatically rally to the defense of the persecuted Muslims.
And just what are some of these lies about the good Ingrid Mattson that we are promulgating?
Well, here’s just one for starters:

ISNA, a group related to the violent Muslim Brotherhood, was named by the U.S. government a co-conspirator for a 2007 federal trial which dealt with the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas.Also, as recently as last month, under Mattson’s watch, ISNA propagated material on its national website calling for the murder of Jews and the waging of war against Jews and Christians.

Ingrid Mattson is also a member of the Muslim Students Association (MSA), an organization that encourages violence and supports sharia law in the U.S., that I have reported on earlier in this same thread.

Convention Democrats warned about radical Islam
'It is a serious threat. This war is against our way of life'

A statement of issues and positions provided by the Democratic National Convention includes not a single reference to "radical Islam," and its only references to "Islam" are to an imam scheduled to speak and to identify Afghanistan as where the U.S. should be battling al-Qaida, since "the vast majority of Muslims believe in a future of peace, tolerance."

However, an organization has been flooding DNC delegates and Denver with copies of the video "Obsession" because members believe the threat to the U.S. is being dismissed or minimized, and the results – like those of Sept. 11, 2001 – could be catastrophic.

"The reaction has been everything from people who are upset with us and call us Islamophobes to a gay, Jewish delegate who's seen 'Obsession' and told us the Democrats aren't taking radical Islamic fundamentalists seriously," said Karen England, a spokeswoman for the group promoting the Watch Obsession website.

An incident in Denver just as preparations for the DNC were in full swing provides some grounds to believe the issue should be addressed, the video promoters say. Days before the DNC convened, a Somali man who had been living in Canada was found dead in a Denver hotel with a pound of sodium cyanide in his room.

The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force said there was no confirmation that Saleman Abdirahman Dirie, 29, had terrorist ties, and local law enforcement officials tried to minimize the discovery.

But to others, it was a red flag. Andrew Ternay, a Defense Department contractor, told KNCN-TV in Denver, "I don't see how anybody could do anything but look into the possibility that this is a potential terrorist attack."

Denver police called the death an "isolated incident" and denied terror connections, explaining, "Nobody knows what was in this gentleman's mind."

But sodium cyanide, while available and commonly used in rat poison, generally isn't discovered in pound quantities in a swanky suites-only hotel along with the dead body of a traveler. It also can be mixed to produce lethal cyanide gas.

Denver news reports also identified a blog item just weeks earlier from a poster identifying himself by the same name who said of Christians, "Kill them, Kill them, Kill them, that is my massage (sic)."

On the Watch Obsession website, promoters, who arranged for a truck to drive Denver's streets advertising the video and an aerial banner to fly over the city this week, suggested the possibility that "there really are evil people who spend all their time thinking and planning the destruction of American men, women and children."

"While Christians and Jews are primary targets, these very bad terrorists do not discriminate in their desire to kill and destroy anyone who does not believe as they do," the website warned. "Americans must accept this fact – America is at war. In an effort to 'wake-up' America, the Watch Obsession Citizen Education Program is mobilizing Americans across the U.S. to watch 'Obsession' and to then actively work, each and every day until the election, to have their 'universe' of family and friends, watch 'Obsession."

For those not in Denver for the DNC, or in St. Paul next week for the Republican National Convention where a similar promotion will be held, the video is available at Shop.WND.com, WND's online store.

The award-winning documentary lets viewers into the minds of radical Islamists to see and hear what they actually believe about the West.

Including footage from Arabic television rarely seen in the West and the testimonies of former terrorists, it is a confirmation of the call by Islamic leaders for world domination.

The undercover footage shows suicide bomber initiations, the indoctrination of young children into hate and violence, secret jihad meetings and public celebrations of 9/11. So powerful is its message, Muslim opposition sparked attempts to prevent its showing at State University of New York-Stonybrook, Georgia Tech and a community in Winnipeg.

It features a number of experts on Islam and demonstrates parallels between British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's doomed strategy of appeasing Hitler and the West's current attitude of appeasing Iran and its radicals.

England told WND the message is that radical Islam must be taken seriously.

"It is a serious threat. This war is against our way of life," she told WND.

The message, however, has some ways to go, apparently. At the DNC, the campaign for Obama scheduled Ingrid Mattson, president of the Islamic Society of North America to speak at its "interfaith gathering," which opened DNC events.

Fox News reported ISNA is suspected of having ties to radical terrorism worldwide and during the recent Holy Land Foundation terrorism trial was regarded as an "unindicted co-conspirator" by the U.S. government.

The government alleged documents show ISNA is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood, which has called for "jihad" against the West.

Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy told Fox the Muslim Brotherhood seeks "our destruction."

DNC officials defended Mattson as "an ambassador for Islam who preaches tolerance."
