Sharpton the Huckster

"The FBI report confirms what we have been saying for many months about the severe increase in hate crimes," said the Rev. Al Sharpton, who organized Friday's march. "What is not reported, however, is the lack of prosecution and serious investigation by the Justice Department to counter this increase in hate crimes." Sharpton called for Attorney General Michael Mukasey to meet with members of the Congressional Black Caucus and civil rights leaders to discuss this matter.

I'm sure Al would never discuss the actual numbers and what exactly they mean. The only thing we see is him pointing the finger. But who is he pointing at? Well lets look at who's pointing the fingers with him.



Free the Jena 6. I guess it's okay to assault someone and send them to the emergency room as long as you're not white.

No Justice, No Piece. That's a good one. I wonder is Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom will get their justice?

Rally urges hate crimes prosecutions, new AG responds

..snip..

The protesters' frustration stems from several racially charged incidents over the past year and a half: the police shooting of an unarmed man in New York, hours before his wedding, in November 2006; the appearance of nooses in several workplaces and schools; the case of a black teen charged with child molestation after having sex with another willing teen; and the story of a black West Virginia woman whom six white people allegedly raped, tortured and forced to eat animal feces as they berated her with racial slurs.

Particularly resonant was the "Jena 6" case in Jena, Louisiana. Nooses were hung from an oak tree at a high school there last year. The federal government did not prosecute the three white teens responsible.

"It was impossible under federal law as written today for us to go after these particular juveniles," Donald Washington, U.S. attorney for western Louisiana, told a congressional panel.

The noose incident at Jena was the beginning of months of racial tension that included the beating of a white student in December, allegedly by six black classmates. Two months ago, 15,000 to 20,000 protesters, including Sharpton and King, descended on Jena -- a town of about 3,000 -- to protest how authorities handled the cases of the six charged in that beating.

"There's Jenas everywhere," Sharpton said Friday. "Which is why you saw thousands of us come to Jena and why you see thousands of us come now.

"No one has the ability to get people to come on a cold day like this if people weren't feeling that they have been disenfranchised and been treated unfairly. Clearly, Jena resonates because people are familiar with the Jenas in their areas."

From the looks of all of this, I'm getting the impression that Sharpton and his marchers are saying that "white" people are to blame for the hate crimes and African Americans are the victims. Well lets take a look at the numbers:

As has been the case since the FBI began collecting hate crime data in 1991, the most frequent motivation was racial bias, accounting for 51.8 percent of the incidents in 2006. That was down slightly from the 54.7 percent in 2005.

Also in 2006, religious bias was blamed for 18.9 percent of the incidents; sexual orientation bias for 15.5 percent, and ethnic or national origin for 12.7 percent.

Of the 7,330 offenders identified by police, 58.6 percent were white, 20.6 percent were black, 12.9 percent were of unknown racial background and other races accounted for the remainder.

58.6% of all reported hate crimes where the perpetrator is know are committed by "whites" 20.6% are committed by "blacks". Let's look at this countries demographics.

From Wikipedia:

White alone: 74.7% or about 215.3 million
Black or African American alone: 12.1% or 35.0 million

So, Whites make up 74.7% of the population but only commit 58.6% of the hate crimes. On the other hand African Americans make up a small 12.1% of the population, but they commit 20.6% of the hate crimes.

Mr. Sharpton and his ilk need to look at the number and reflect. Maybe they should take a pointer or two from Bill Cosby.


All the way to the bank.

Gays Deserve Torture, Death Penalty, Iranian Minister Says

Homosexuals deserve to be executed or tortured and possibly both, an Iranian leader told British MPs during a private meeting at a peace conference, The Times has learned.

Mohsen Yahyavi is the highest-ranked politician to admit that Iran believes in the death penalty for homosexuality after a spate of reports that gay youths were being hanged.

President Ahmadinejad, questioned by students in New York two months ago about the executions, dodged the issue by suggesting that there were no gays in his country.

Britain regularly challenges Iran about its gay hangings, stonings and executions of adulterers and perceived moral criminals, Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) papers show.

The latest row involves a woman hanged this June in the town of Gorgan after becoming pregnant by her brother. He was absolved after expressing his remorse. Britain said that this demonstrated the unequal treatment of men and women in law and breached Iran’s pledge to restrict the death penalty to the most serious crimes.

A series of reported executions of gays, including two underage boys whose public hanging was posted on the internet, has alarmed human rights campaigners.

The Pet Shop Boys dedicated Fundamental, their Grammy-nominated album, to Mahmoud Asqari and Ayad Marhouni, who were hanged in Justice Square in Mashhad in 2005. Graphic photographs of the execution of the youths, who were under 18 when arrested, were released by the Iranian Students News Agency.

Gay rights groups in Britain, such as Outrage!, accuse Iran of cloaking executions for homosexuality with bogus charges for more serious crimes.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, the FCO released papers to The Times about the death penalty being used in Iran for homosexuality, adultery and sex outside marriage.

Hi. I live in DC and I support terrorism

Imam Abdul Alim Musa was born in Arkansas but grew up in Oakland, California during the 1960s—a time of intense social upheaval which produced groups like the Black Panthers and offshoots of the Nation of Islam. While being a supporter of the community’s revolutionary sentiment, Imam Musa became an active and very successful drug-dealer. His “street” background helps explain part of his appeal to inner-city youths and ex-convicts, with whom he can identify through personal experiences.

-snip-

During a rally in July 1999, Imam Musa displayed a cashier's check made out to “Hamas, Palestine,” to protest the 1996 U.S. law which declared Hamas a terrorist organization.

-snip-

On October 31, 2001, Imam Musa, along with Imam Muhammad al-‘Asi and others, appeared at the National Press Club and, in a program which was televised by C-SPAN, disputed the official story of what happened on Sept. 11, 2001, implying that the U.S. government was involved based on its historical pattern of creating wars to benefit pre-conceived agendas. The re-airing of this program was cancelled due to complaints by the Anti-Defamation League.

The groups website is here


From the "about" section:

The As-Sabiqun movement is an Islamic movement/organization under the leadership of founder Imam Abdul Alim Musa. It is based in Washington, D.C., and has branches in Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego, Sacramento, and Philadelphia.

Scroll further down and you get this:

Additionally, although As-Sabiqun is a Sunni movement, they have publicly voiced support for Shi’a movements and organizations such as the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran and Hizbullah.


In a .pdf located here REVELATION AND
REVOLUTION - under a section called: THINGS TO DO NOW! You find this item:

21. Always cherish the intention of jihād and the desire for martyrdom in the way of Allah and actually prepare yourself for that.

This one item made me go back to the site and download all pdfs to my server for further review. I will let you know what I find in a later post.

To sum things up. As-Sabiqun in a movement based in Washington D.C. that promotes the destruction of the American Constitution to be replaced with Sharia Law, according to thier website by 2050. They also give fund to and promote terroism and terrorist groups like Hamas and Hizbullah. And lastly they condon suicide bombings. I wonder if I missed anything?
