Afghan lawmakers back reporter's death sentence

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- Afghanistan's upper house of parliament lauded the death sentence handed down against a local journalist who was found guilty of insulting Islam, an official said Wednesday.

In a statement signed by Sibghatullah Mojaddedi, the chamber's chairman, the Senate also condemned what it called "international interference" to have the sentence annulled, spokesman Aminuddin Muzafari said.

The journalist, 23-year-old Sayed Parwez Kaambakhsh, was sentenced to death last week by a three-judge panel in the northern city of Mazar-i-Sharif for distributing a report he printed off the Internet to journalism students at Balkh University.

The article asked why men can have four wives but women can't have multiple husbands.

The court in Mazar-i-Sharif found that the article humiliated Islam. Members of a clerical council also pushed for Kaambakhsh to be punished.

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?

Why Does the Bookstore at Barrak Obama's Church Sell NOI Books?

There's alot of hype going around about the Obama's Chicago church. From what I've read he started attending this church right out of college and has been a devout member for the last 20 or so years. Trinity United Church of Christ sounds like any other church, from the name it sounds pretty normal to me. The senior pastor of the Church Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. has said some pretty outrageous things in the past, here are a few pearls of his wisdom:

On the Sunday after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Mr. Wright said the attacks were a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later he wrote that the attacks had proved that “people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West went on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns.”

"The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism."


And who can forget this little gem. W a r o n I r a q I Q T e s t

You get the idea. I was checking out the online bookstore at the Church's website http://www.tucc.org/store/ and I found this:



Breaking the Chains of Psychological Slavery










A book written by Na'im Akbar. You say who is Mr. Akbar? Only a card carrying member of the Nation of Islam. Yes, that Nation of Islam, the same people that believe that "White people" were created by a mad scientist named Yakub. Don't believe me? Sounds crazy, like crazy in a racist kinda wacko way.

According to the Nation of Islam (NOI), Yakub (also spelled Yacub or Yakob), was an evil scientist responsible for creating the white race — a race of devils, in their view. Yakub created white people by a process of grafting the "black germ" to a "white germ" from the original black population of the world. It took 600 years for Yakub and his successors to fully whiten his creations. This was achieved under a despotic regime on the island of Patmos.The reasons for Yakub's actions are unclear. According to NOI doctrine, his progeny were destined to rule for 6,000 years before the original black peoples of the world regained dominance, a process that began in 1914.

So let me get this straight. You guys want me to vote for a guy that has been going to a church that is in cahoots with the NOI and sells their racists books at it's book store? Think again chumps, Yakub didn't create no dummy.

p.s. Oprah Winfrey goes to this church too.

U.S. Officials Analyzing Usama Bin Laden Video

CAIRO, Egypt — The U.S. government obtained a new video of Usama bin Laden before Al Qaeda could release it to the world to mark the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. Officials on Friday were analyzing the tape, which could contain the first new images of the Al Qaeda leader in three years.

Soon after Washington announced it had the video, all the Islamic militant Web sites that usually carry statements from Al Qaeda went down and were unaccessible, in an unprecedented shutdown.

The reason for the shutdown was not immediately known. Evan H. Kohlmann, a terrorism expert at globalterroralert.com, said he suspected it was the work of Al Qaeda itself, trying to find how the video leaked to U.S. officials.

Billboard depicting Hezbollah's controversial leader removed

WINDSOR, Ont. - The billboard depicting Hezbollah's controversial leader, which caused an uproar across Windsor, was quietly replaced Monday morning with an advertisement for a car dealership.

The sign was erected Friday morning and immediately drew fire from the Windsor Jewish Community Centre and the Lebanese Christian political group Kataeb.

Among other Lebanese leaders, the sign prominently depicted Hassan Nasrallah, the head of the political and military group representing Shia Muslims.

Cops Link Black Muslim Group to Editor's Murder

OAKLAND, Calif. — Police are testing guns recovered from raids in which authorities arrested seven members of an Oakland Black Muslim splinter group who investigators suspect were involved in the killing of a journalist and two others.

And straight from the "R.O.P." playbook, we get this quote from Shamir Yusuf Bey:

"This is not a reflection of Dr. Yusuf Bey," said Shamir Yusuf Bey in a sidewalk news conference in front of the bakery. The organization's members all take the founder's surname. "We are all sons of Dr. Yusuf Bey. He has taught us morals, he has taught us how to be advocates in our community."

A Picture Says a Thousand Words

Browsing thru some yahoo news photos, I ran into the next few images. Alone, they tell a story, the Reuters story. But if you bundle them together, you see another story. Read the AP captions below.

Now the next set of Reuters photos clearly show this "stringer" seems to be imbeded with a Shi'ite militant group. Do they honeslty believe the coalition trrops should have to worry about a "stringer" that choses to run with the enemy during these bouts?

The bottom line is. Sure fine, run with these jihaders. But don't come compaling to the Coalition when one of your "stingers" gets hit. Like the old saying goes, you lie down with dogs, you're going to wake up with fleas.

'Chemical Ali' sentenced to hang

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -- An Iraqi court on Sunday sentenced Saddam Hussein's cousin known as "Chemical Ali" and two other former regime officials to death by hanging for their roles in a 1980s scorched-earth campaign that led to the deaths of 180,000 Kurds.

Ali Hassan al-Majid, Saddam's cousin and the former head of the Baath Party's Northern Bureau Command, earned his nickname for his use of chemical weapons against the ethnic minority during efforts to crush a rebellion in the north.

The judge, Mohammed Oreibi al-Khalifa, said al-Majid was convicted of genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes for ordering army and security services to use chemical weapons in a large-scale offensive that killed or maimed thousands.

Former defense minister Sultan Hashim Ahmad al-Tai also was sent to the gallows after the judge ruled that he had ordered a large-scale attack against civilians and used chemical weapons and deportation against the Kurds.

Al-Tai, who was wearing a traditional Arab robe and a white headdress, stood in silence as the verdict was read but insisted he was innocent afterward.

"I will not say anything new, but I will leave you to God. I'm innocent," al-Tai said as a guard escorted him out of the room after the verdict.

The former deputy director of operations for the Iraqi Armed Forces, Hussein Rashid Mohammed, also was sentenced to death after he was convicted of drawing up military plans and other allegations against the Kurds.

Report: Journos Contribute More to Dems

BOSTON - A CNN reporter gave $500 to John Kerry's campaign the same month he was embedded with the U.S. Army in Iraq. An assistant managing editor at Forbes magazine not only sent $2,000 to Republicans, but also volunteers as a director of an ExxonMobil-funded group that questions global warming. A junior editor at Dow Jones Newswires gave $1,036 to the liberal group MoveOn.org and keeps a blog listing "people I don't like," starting with George Bush, Pat Robertson, the Christian Coalition, the NRA and corporate America ("these are the people who are really in charge").

Whether you sample your news feed from ABC or CBS (or, yes, even NBC and MSNBC), whether you prefer Fox News Channel or National Public Radio, The Wall Street Journal or The New Yorker, some of the journalists feeding you are also feeding cash to politicians, parties or political action committees.

MSNBC.com identified 144 journalists who made political contributions from 2004 through the start of the 2008 campaign, according to the public records of the Federal Election Commission. Most of the newsroom checkbooks leaned to the left: 125 journalists gave to Democrats and liberal causes. Only 17 gave to Republicans. Two gave to both parties.

Videotape supposedly shows suicide bomber 'graduation'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A videotape supposedly showing a suicide bomber "graduation ceremony" at an al Qaeda-Taliban training camp is part of a propaganda campaign from the terrorist network and the former rulers of Afghanistan, a U.S. counterterrorism official said Monday.

The video was said to have been shot June 9 by a Pakistani journalist who was invited to take pictures as the suicide bombers were supposedly sent off on their missions in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany.

The video was obtained and first aired by ABC News. CNN could not immediately verify the tape's authenticity.

One of the suicide bomber team leaders spoke in English on the tape. The video also included images of Taliban military commander Mansoor Dadullah. His brother, Mullah Dadullah, was a Taliban military commander who was killed last month by U.S. forces.

The U.S. counterterrorism official who spoke with CNN said the tape is "consistent with the more sophisticated propaganda" that these groups have been using, but said it is a "bit of a stretch" to conclude from the tape that people have been sent to carry out attacks.

There is "genuine concern," the official said, whenever threats are made against the West from that part of the world, however, and the training camps present a "real potential source of operatives."

The official said that there have been more such tapes recently, including tapes using multiple languages. The official said the use of multiple languages in the tapes suggests that they are for propaganda purposes.

Fatah militants storm rival-held government buildings

RAMALLAH, West Bank (CNN) -- Palestinian gunmen raided parliament buildings controlled by rivals in the West Bank on Saturday as factional fighting continued to spread.

The show of force by the armed wing of Fatah followed rival Hamas' takeover in Gaza.

Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades stormed into the Palestinian Parliament in the West Bank city of Ramallah and other Hamas-controlled government buildings in Nablus on Saturday, witnesses said.

Video footage in Nablus showed the Fatah militants loyal to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas planting their flag on the roof of one building as others fired rifles into the air.

Abbas early Sunday nullified a law requiring the Hamas-majority Palestinian parliament to approve Cabinet appointments, The Associated Press reported.

The move came a day after Hamas -- which won parliamentary elections under Prime Minister Ismail Haniya last year -- overtook the presidential compound in Gaza City and consolidated its control over Gaza after defeating Fatah's forces.

Abbas dissolved the coalition government and said he would create an interim government consisting of members of his own Fatah party.

Hamas: Spring is here again, time for some rocket barrages

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Hamas militants fired a barrage of rockets and mortar shells toward Israel on Tuesday and said they considered a five-month truce with Israel to have ended.

The rockets fell after nine Palestinians were killed in fighting with Israel over the weekend. Most of the dead were militants, but Palestinians said at least two civilians, including a 17-year-old girl, were killed.

Also in Gaza, an angry clan stormed the parliament building, carrying the body of a slain family member, to demand the killers be brought to justice.

Tuesday's rocket attack, which came on Israel's 59th Independence Day, caused no damage or injury. However, it marked the first time Hamas openly acknowledged firing shells toward Israel since agreeing to a cease-fire along the Gaza-Israel border in November.

My question here is, when did they ever stop with the rocket attacks? About those IDF soldiers that Hamas was supposed to have returned as part of the "Truce agreement"...Never returned.

Saddam was the Mousetrap in the house

The next time you are discussing the invasion of Iraq and someone uses the left's many talking points on the subject- "Saddam was no threat to the U.S." Send them this little story:

A mouse looked through the crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife open a package.

What food might this contain?" The mouse wondered -
he was devastated to discover it was a mousetrap.

Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse proclaimed the warning:

There is a mousetrap in the house!
There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, "Mr.Mouse, I can tell this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me. I cannot be bothered by it."

The mouse turned to the pig and told him, "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The pig sympathized, but said, I am so very sorry, Mr.Mouse, but there is nothing I can do about it but pray. Be assured you are in my prayers."

The mouse turned to the cow and said "There is a mousetrap in the house! There is a mousetrap in the house!"

The cow said, "Wow, Mr. Mouse. I'm sorry for you, but it's no skin off my nose."

So, the mouse returned to the house, head down and dejected, to face the farmer's mousetrap alone.

That very night a sound was heard throughout the house -- like the sound of a mousetrap catching its prey.

The farmer's wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see it was a poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caught.

The snake bit the farmer's wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital, and she returned home with a fever.

Everyone knows you treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup's main ingredient.

But his wife's sickness continued, so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock.

To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig.

The farmer's wife did not get well; she died.

So many people came for her funeral, the farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide enough meat for all of them. The mouse looked upon it all from his crack in the wall with great sadness.

So, the next time you hear someone is facing a problem and think it doesn't concern you, remember -- when one of us is threatened, we are all at risk.

We are all involved in this journey called life. We must keep an eye out for one another and make an extra effort to encourage one another.

Al Sharpton

The funny thing about Al Sharpton is that everyone knows he's a racist and they just don't care. For some reason he's given a pass to hate white folks. Here's some of his famous quotes:

“I am saying to the Jewish community and specifically to Abraham Foxman, that you come out and utter a word, accusatory remark against Reverend Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Donna Wilson, Reverend Shields, or Gary Byrd, we will boycott you and nobody loves money any more than the Jewish people.”

"White folks was in the cave, when we were building empires."

"We built pyramids even before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was."

"We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it."

I'll tell you this, I've have numerous discussion with Afrocentrics and this is the same type of tripe they say. Sharpton and any of his ilk should be forced into sensitivity training and should have to pay some kind of tithe to the people they have hurt. I bet his blood would boil if he was forced into setting up a scholarship for Jewish children wishing to attend college.

"Crazy" Jordanian attacks Police in St. Louis

I wonder why there isn't more on this story. Google only shows one link when searching for his name"

http://www.google.com/

ST. LOUIS — A man who was killed by police officers in downtown St. Louis Friday night after he rammed a police car and fired at them may have wanted to die in a "suicide by cop," police say.

The dead man was identified Saturday as Mohammad Khaled Alwadi, 21. He was a Jordanian immigrant who had been in this country less than a month.

Family members told police he had spoken of committing suicide, according to a statement issued by the St. Louis Police Department.

Police said Alwadi's address was in the 7600 block of Alabama Avenue. Reached by phone Saturday, Alwadi's brother declined to comment except to say, "He is a very nice person."

New Textbook Reportedly Teaching Palestinian Kids to Fight Israel

A new textbook is teaching Palestinian kids to hate Israel and think of fighting Israelis as a holy Islamic duty, according to an Israeli media monitoring group.

The textbooks, published in December and distributed in the West Bank and Gaza to Palestinian students, deny Israel's existence and teach kids — many as young as 11 — that Palestinians are in the midst of a holy war between Muslims and their enemies, according to a Palestinian Media Watch report entitled "From nationalist battle to religious conflict."

The Palestinian Ministry of Higher Education said it was reviewing the issue, the organization reported..

"The books don't allow for a Palestinian child to accept Israel as a neighbor," Itamar Marcus, Palestinian Media Watch's director, told the Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN) of the United Nations. "When you define the conflict as a religious war you are no longer fighting for your own national identity or territory but for Islamic destiny. You have to accept either Islam or Israel," Marcus said.

Asshatery At It's Finest

From Little Green Footballs:


Makes me sick. These dolts have a cirlce A on their banner. I hate to tell them, but they wouldn't last long if there were no laws protecting them.
