“If a presidential candidate running for office in 2012, or for that matter in years past (say, 2004 or 2008), said “there is no radical Muslim threat in America,” it would immediately disqualify that candidate.
It would be a worse gaffe than President Gerald Ford saying, “There is no Soviet dominance of Eastern Europe.” The candidate would be seen as unserious, out of touch, not up to the task or just plain wrong.
The campaign would be over. And yet, for the weeks and months leading up to the hearing that took place at the House Homeland Security Committee on Thursday, critics have cried foul.
Understandably, Muslims complain when the media speak of terrorist movements and actions as ‘Islamic’ and ask why the media do not similarly identify Irish and Basque terrorists and terrorism as ‘Christian.’ The answer is simple and obvious — they do not describe themselves as such.” – Dean of Islamic and Arabic studies Bernard Lewis
King’s hearing answered a lot, but it left open the need to investigate and ask yet many more questions, the kinds of questions too many have not been asking. So, rather than denounce such learning experiences, shouldn’t we actually have more of them?

“French President Nicolas Sarkozy has sacked his diversity adviser after he called on Muslims not to support the governing UMP party, reports say.
Abderrahmane Dahmane, a Muslim and former UMP official appointed to his post only in January, was protesting against a planned debate on Islam.
He said Muslim members of the UMP should not renew their party membership unless the debate was cancelled.
He condemned UMP leader Jean-Francois Cope as a “plague for Muslims”.

“We were expecting Muslims to adapt to France, but now France is adapting to Islam”
I recently came across this reaction to a person warning about the dangers of Islam, a well-meaning (but dangerously naive) person said:
“I accept diversity as part of the beauty of this part of the world.
Hate and Fear aren’t very Christian principles and most of this is fear mongering. Freedom of …religion is part of the foundation of this country, so where do we draw the line?
There a lot of people doing good in this world and we should start focusing on that and embracing that.
I challenge you to start posting things about people doing good in the world regardless of their religion. Try it for one month and see how it makes you feel.
Life is too short to live in fear.”
Have you read the Koran? Have you read the Hadiths?
This is an ideology that teaches people to kill those who do not agree with its theology.
You like that kind of diversity? You accept that?
As long as it is sincere and called a “religion” it is OK?
I recently saw photos of two teenage girls who, while on their way to school in the Philippines, were attacked and had their heads cut off by Muslims because they were Christians.
I challenge you to look up those photos, take a long, hard look and then tell me you are OK with that kind of “diversity”.
The men who did that were acting out what they had been told to do in their holy book, the Koran.
Hating people is bad. Hating evil actions and refusing to overlook them is not bad.
Look at what has happened in Pakistan lately: two good men, one a Muslim and one a Christian, who resisted and stood up to those who would enforce a death penalty on anyone that spoke out against or criticized Islam were murdered.
The murders were based on religious convictions, in the name of Allah. You are OK with that kind of diversity? These killers were devoted men who thought they were doing Allah a favor.
Are you asking us to be OK with that because they were following a religion?
It is not enough for good men to simply do good when evil is slaughtering innocents all around them. Sometimes good men have to stand up to evil.
I challenge you to research the Maori and Morori people, see how it turned out when good, peaceful people simply focused on doing good and talking to violent enemies (hint: they and their families were slaughtered).
If there is a lion in your house it is good to be afraid – or you will be eaten.
Fear is not bad when there is a real threat. In those situations, naive ignorance is much more dangerous.
“Instead of attempting to “demonize” Americans concerned with homegrown radical Islam, Muslims should actively participate in these hearings to discuss how their faith is combating terror.
The defensive, shift-the-discussion, allege “Islamophobia” tactics by CAIR are damaging to American Muslims and fuel distrust in non-Muslims.”
“Deputy National Security Adviser Denis McDonough said last weekend in a speech to Muslims that, “violence and extremism are not unique to any one faith.”
I disagree.
CAIR refers to itself as the main national voice for American Muslims. That same organization, which claims to be moderate, had to rush to remove an image from one of its Web sites with the message, “Don’t talk to the F.B.I,” saying it was “subject to misinterpretation.”

“Today the House Homeland Security Committee held a hearing on the radicalization of American Muslims. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has vehemently opposed any such hearings. Why?”
Could it be because “several of CAIR’s top associates around the country are currently serving prison sentences for funneling money to terrorist groups and for other terrorism-related crimes” and they are afraid of what else the authorities might uncover?
Ghassan Elashi is serving a sixty-five year prison sentence for funneling money to Hamas. Randall Royer is serving a twenty-year sentence after pleading guilty to weapons charges in Virginia. Both had been at one time associated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). Elashi was a founder of CAIR-Texas and Royer served as a communications specialist for the organization.
“CAIR stands to lose much if their connections to terrorism are further exposed in these hearings.”
– Jordan Sekulow
Find out how you can help those who are working hard to unmask the deceit and dangerous activities of this slick front for the Muslim Brotherhood:
Ayman al Zawahiri orchestrated 9/11 and joined Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood at the age of 14. The Muslim Brotherhood, Egypt’s only opposition party, now sits poised to take control of the governement of Egypt when elections are held there in six months. Their slogan is “the Koran and Jihad is our way”.

CAIR is the sanitized, polished front for the Muslim Brotherhood in the US.
“As the West sits by calling Islam a great religion and building Mosques at Ground Zero violent Muslims have now followed Islam and the Koran and taken control of every nation from Indonesia to the Middle of Africa and their goal is worldwide Islamic Supremacy and the imposition of worldwide Sharia Law. [as clearly taught in the Koran]
Pakistan already has nuclear weapons and Iran is right on the verge of acquiring them.
Iran’s Ayatollah Mesbah Yazdi, Nostradamus Third Antichrist called for the building of nuclear weapons in Iran in his book and he said that the use of nuclear weapons has legitimacy under Islam and last week he called for the execution of Iran’s opposition leaders and dissidents.”
