When Are We Going To Wake Up?

In the following Fox News video segment, Sean Hannity talks to Richard Miniter, a prominent author and expert on terrorism, and Bo Dietl, a former NYPD detective, about a spate of recent “lone wolf” terrorist attacks in Canada and the USA.

Specifically discussed are:

  • Zale Thompson, a.k.a. Zaim Farouq Abdul-Malik, who attacked four policemen with a hatchet in Jamaica, Queens on October 23.
  • Alton Nolen, a.k.a. Jah’Keem Yisrael, who allegedly beheaded a former co-worker in Oklahoma on September 25.
  • Martin Couture-Rouleau, a.k.a. Ahmad Rouleau, who ran over two Canadian soldiers near Montreal on October 20, killing one of them.
  • Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a.k.a. Joseph Paul Michael Abdallah Bulgasem Zehaf-Bibeau, who killed a Canadian soldier on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on October 22.
  • Major Nidal Hasan, the Killer Shrink of Fort Hood.

This is not new material — the clip first ran in late October, just after the string of attacks in Canada and New York — but what’s interesting about it is that it occurred on the Hannity program. It used to be that Mr. Hannity avoided discussing Islam, and rarely took a hard line about it when he did. But all that seems to have changed:

What Does Governor Haslam Get For Selling Out Tennessee?

Below is the latest newsletter from the Tennessee Council for Political Justice.

Newsletter #156 — What Does Governor Haslam Get For Selling Out Tennessee?

Let’s ask Obama.

December 9, 2014 — Obama will come to Nashville to gloat

Obama lost BIG in red Tennessee. The state legislature is Republican controlled super-majorities, and the state has a Republican governor. Then why is Tennessee is an ideal spot for Obama to gloat about his most recent end-run around Congress on illegal immigration?

Left-leaning Tennessee Chattanooga RINOs Sen. Todd Gardenhire and Rep. Richard Floyd passed bills in 2014 giving in-state tuition to children born in the U.S. even if their parents were illegally in the country. Gardenhire and Floyd (who cried over these bills) also sponsored legislation to give in-state tuition to illegal immigrants graduating from Tennessee high schools. Floyd’s bill to give illegal immigrant students in-state tuition was co-sponsored by Rep. Gerald McCormick, who as House Majority Leader works to advance the Governor’s agenda.

Nashville is also desirable for Obama because at least 50,000 illegals are reported by The Tennessean to be living there and 124,000 state-wide. So when Haslam wonders why the unemployment rate is so high, he should read the local newspaper. Or he could read the August 2014 Center for Immigration Studies (CIS) analysis that based on federal employment data showing that the jobs in Tennessee are going to legal and illegal immigrants:

“Tennessee’s working-age immigrant population grew 176 percent from 2000 to 2014, one of the highest of any state in the nation. Yet the number of natives working in 2014 was actually lower in 2000.”

Obama’s loss in Tennessee is irrelevant because Haslam, with the help of the Chamber of Commerce, is pushing all the president’s big agenda items — Medicaid expansion, Common Core, entitlements, and amnesty. “Coincidentally,” Haslam’s director for legislation, Leslie Hafner, is also the business partner of the Chamber’s chief lobbyist, David McMahan.

For example, Haslam’s new Attorney General, Herbert Slattery, who has long-time very close ties to Haslam, has not joined the 17 other states suing over the Constitutionally invalid grant of amnesty to illegal immigrants. In 2012 Haslam didn’t join other governors in opposing Obama’s DACA executive order either. DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) rewarded illegal immigrant parents who brought their young children, also illegal, to be raised and educated in the U.S. The children can work here legally, get a social security number and a driver’s license.


Haslam introduces Obama at 2011 No Child Left Behind briefing

As established by Tennessee’s Constitution, the Attorney General advises all branches of state government but is also supposed to represent the interests of the citizens of Tennessee who are a majority of conservatives opposed to Obama’s immigration plans. This is the young workforce that Haslam approves of that will be in direct competition for jobs with Tennessee’s legal citizens.

Long Live Sharia in Denmark!

The following video was shot yesterday in the culturally enriched Nørrebro district of Copenhagen. I asked our Danish correspondent Kepiblanc to take a look at it and tell us what was going on:

The video begins with two female politicians — the one with the red hair, Inge Støjberg, from a semi-conservative party (Venstre), the other one a Muslima from some leftist party — who organized a demonstration against a Hizb ut-Tahrir meeting. They’re demanding that Muslims behave according to Danish law and reject sharia.

Then the camera focuses on the yelling Muslim. He repeatedly shouts: “længe leve sharia!” (“long live sharia!”).

The crowd ignores him until an elderly gentleman pushes the intelligent looking cultural enricher a bit and tells him to get lost. The cops show up and separate the two.

Finally, a couple of other Muslims accompany their “brother” away.

I guess the video is quite self-explanatory…

Below are excerpts from an article in The Local about the same event:

The Islamic organisation Hizb ut-Tahrir’s pro-Sharia rally in Copenahgen’s Nørrebro district on Sunday was greeted by protestors who feel that Islamic law has no place in Denmark.

Hizb ut-Tahrir’s ‘Proud of Sharia’ (Stolt over sharia) meeting in Nørrebrohallen gathered members and supporters of the international Islamic group, which openly supports the establishment of a caliphate and is listed as one of five Muslim extremist groups operating in Denmark.

The meeting addressed the City of Copenhagen’s proposed integration plan, which has a stated goal of getting “the number of Copenhageners who support Sharia Law to fall”.

Teenage Idols

Steve Emerson of the Investigative Project on Terrorism talks to Brian Lilley on SUN TV about a fifteen-year old “Canadian” mujahid who was arrested on terrorism charges after he robbed a convenience store to finance his hijra to the jihad in Syria.

The two men also discuss the role that the current youth culture plays in Islamic State propaganda. Wearing jihad gear, flying the ISIS flag, and beheading one’s enemies have become “cool” activities within certain subgroups of today’s Western teenagers:

Last August the Doel 4 nuclear reactor in Belgium was damaged and suffered a major oil leak. Investigators have determined not only that the leak was due to sabotage, but also that it was a terrorist attack. Belgian citizens were relieved, however, when they learned that the incident had nothing to do with Islam.

In other news, due to the deteriorating security situation in Egypt, both Canada and Britain have closed their embassies in Cairo.

Those High-Spirited Swedish Youngsters

A group of thirty or so rambunctious “Swedish” young people engaged in some midnight pranks in southern Stockholm last weekend. Late Saturday night and early Sunday morning these mischievous culturally enriched “youths” chased the police off their turf, throwing stones, fireworks, and Molotov cocktails, and also torching a few cars.

Oh, well — boys will be boys, you know.

“I Will Never Let Anyone Silence Me”

Geert Wilders was hauled before the Stasi Dutch State Police today to be interrogated. The Public Prosecutor thinks that Mr. Wilders may have committed a High Crime by expressing his desire to see fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands.

The PVV sent out this brief press release after Mr. Wilder’s little chat with the police:

Statement of Geert Wilders MP during his interrogation by the Dutch State Police

Today, the Dutch parliamentarian and PVV leader Geert Wilders made a statement during his interrogation by the Dutch State Police. The State Police interrogated Mr Wilders on behalf of the Dutch Public Prosecutor who is considering prosecuting Mr Wilders because the politician had asked his voters during the election campaign whether they wanted more or fewer Moroccans in the Netherlands.

Geert Wilders MP: “It is my task as a politician to name the Moroccan problem which we have here in the Netherlands. In my statement, I made clear that I will never let anyone silence me in my fight for freedom and against the Islamization of the Netherlands. No matter the cost, no matter by whom, whatever the consequences may be. I assume that the Public Prosecutor will decide not to prosecute me. Any other decision cannot be interpreted otherwise than politically motivated.”

Below is the full statement by Geert Wilders (English version):

The Hague, December 8, 2014

Statement of Geert Wilders MP during his interrogation by the State Police for the purpose of the prosecution decision of the Public Prosecutor

Our freedom is being threatened. Threatened by a violent totalitarian ideology — Islam — that brings with it death and devastation. Threatened by a politically correct elite that does not tolerate criticism of Islam and mass immigration and that nurtures cultural relativism.

I rise up against this.

As a democratically elected politician I name the problems that I see. I name the dangers and disadvantages that we experience in the Netherlands as a result of cultural relativism, mass immigration and the ongoing Islamization. That is my task. That is my duty. That is why I have been elected. That is the reason why I am in politics and why I founded the Party for Freedom (PVV). I am fighting for a better Netherlands.

To preserve our own culture.

Our own identity.

Our safety.

Our freedom.

The Dark Side of the Interfaith Syndicate: “Our Muslim Neighbor,” CAIR (Part 4 of 4)

Below is the latest newsletter from the Tennessee Council for Political Justice, the final installment in a four-part series. Previously: Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.

Newsletter #155 — The Dark Side of the Interfaith Syndicate: “Our Muslim Neighbor,” CAIR (part 4 of 4)

Has Daoud Abudiab invited ACO’s Galloway into his sandbox?

Daoud Abudiab is the former co-chair of AMAC, the current board president of the far left TIRRC (TN Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition) and a supporter of the open borders group Clergy for Tolerance. Abudiab also spearheads “Our Muslim Neighbor” (OMN) initiative which is the sole focus of his Faith and Culture Center.

Our Muslim Neighbor” is a project of Religions for Peace USA (RFPUSA). This project is “designed to advance understanding of Islam and Muslims in Middle Tennessee, a region identified by the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] and the Center for American Progress [a Marxist left organization] as arguably one of the most Islamophobic areas in America.”

RFPUSA is tied to Islamist Muslim Brotherhood organizations in the U.S. making the “Our Muslim Neighbor” project a good. (So, does the Faith and Culture Center take its marching orders from CAIR and the Center for American Progress?)

This may also be about Abudiab returning to his own affinity for CAIR-type projects. Abudiab was mentored early on by Awadh Binhazim, who led a CAIR chapter in Austin before moving to Tennessee. Once settled in Nashville, Binhazim was prolific in his dawa, although he may best be known for his admission at Vanderbilt University that Islam mandates capital punishment for gays.

Abudiab chose board members for his Faith and Culture Center carefully. His token far-left Jew with whom he visits congregations to sign up for his “Our Muslim Neighbor” campaign is the Nashville businessman Bernard Werthan of Werthan Packaging, Inc.

Werthan is a self-described “social justice proponent” who also has a $1 million dollar foundation from which to finance pet projects. He is credited with starting Nashville’s Family of Abraham group.

TCPJ has written extensively about the red-green alliance, the Nashville’s Family of Abraham (FOA) group and its connection to the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign against Israel. Werthan is heavily invested in FOA which could explain why he also donated to the New Israel Fund (NIF), which finances several groups that push the BDS campaign against Israel.

A former Muslim tells the truth about Islam, the Muslim Brotherhood and interfaith activities

Dr. Mark Christian, the director of the Global Faith Institute (GFI), is a formerly devout Egyptian Muslim who converted from Islam to Christianity. His great-uncle helped establish the original Muslim Brotherhood and his father is still attached to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Dr. Christian brings a unique insight to the issues of interfaith dialogue and the Muslim Brotherhood:

A Swiss national who had been held hostage by Abu Sayyaf in the Philippines for two years managed to escape from his captors, and was rescued. He took advantage of a Philippine military operation against the terrorists to wrest a machete from his guard, and killed him. Then he fled while being shot at by the mujahideen.

An American hostage in Yemen was not so fortunate, however. He was killed by Al Qaeda just before an attempted rescue by special forces.

In other news, Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) lost in the runoff election today, and will be replaced in the Senate by Republican Rep. Bill Cassidy.

Islamophobic Muslims in Bremen

A group of angry demonstrators gathered in front of a mosque in the German city of Bremen to protest the fact that hundreds of young men had been radicalized at the mosque and sent off to join the jihad in Syria.

It must have German neo-Nazi Islamophobes, right? Wrong!

These were the mothers and fathers of young Muslim men who have recently disappeared, presumably recruited by ISIS. Some of these distraught parents must have thought they had escaped such horrors by migrating to Germany, only to discover that wherever Muslims go, the Great Jihad travels with them.

Ayodhya on Alert

Today is the twenty-second anniversary of the destruction of the Babri mosque at Ayodhya in India.

I first wrote about Ayodhya back in 2005, and again in more detail (thanks to Thoughts of a nationalist Indian) in 2009. The ancient Hindu temple at Ayodhya, venerated as the birthplace of Rama, was destroyed by the Muslim invaders, and the Babri Mosque built on the site.

On December 6, 1992, a group of Hindu nationalists gathered at the site and reversed that process, destroying the mosque. A new Hindu temple was later built at the location.

Hence today’s tensions in Ayodhya, necessitating a strong presence of well-armed military guards at the site:
