Fighting for the Truth About Little Rock and Fort Hood

This is an interview by Front Page Magazine with Daris Long, father of slain soldier Willian Long. Wiliam was murdered in an act of jihad on June 1st 2009. The Federal Govermnent refuses to classify this murder as an act of religious terrorism. Until our leadership recognizes the truth that it is Islam that is the root cause of the current terrorist attacks on the West, we will be losing the fight.

Fighting for the Truth About Little Rock and Fort Hood

Posted By Jamie Glazov On January 24, 2012 @ 12:29 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 17 Comments

Frontpage Interview’s guest today is Daris Long, Father of PV2 William A. Long, who was one of the two soldiers shot at the Little Rock Recruiting Center on June 1, 2009. William Long died of his wounds. Daris Long testified on December 7, 2011 in front of the joint House/Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, stressing that no federal terrorism charges have ever been levied against the perpetrators of the only two successful attacks on US soil since 9/11 (Little Rock Recruiting Center and Fort Hood).

The above picture of Daris Long was taken during the Committee hearing on Dec 7, 2011. The item he is holding is his son’s Identification Tags that he was wearing when he was killed. The man behind his right shoulder is Dr. Charles Jacobs — who came down from Boston to support Mr. Long during the hearing.

FP: Daris Long, welcome to Frontpage Interview.

I am very sorry about your son and I speak on behalf of everyone here at Frontpage in giving you our sincere and heart-felt condolences.

Let’s begin by you telling us about your testimony on December 7, 2011 in front of the joint House/Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. You made it powerfully clear that this is an irregular war and that, despite the wall of silence and denial put up by the administration, army leadership and media, there have already been casualties on our soil.

Long: My position has always been that the War on Terror has not been isolated to what has been historically deemed the battlefield. We are not fighting against a foe that represents a government or territory. We are fighting against an ideology that is transnational in nature and doesn’t recognize territorial boundaries. In this case we are up against an ideology that divides the world into two spheres, the Land of Islam and the Land of War. The opponents we face are not clearly identified by openly carrying arms nor do they wear uniforms which clearly identify them as part of an organized force as defined in the Laws of War. They can easily hide in the open and only become visible when they decide to perform their act of terror.

US embassy: 'Don't walk alone in Oslo at night'

Things have to be pretty bad for the US embassy to issue a warning to Americans to "not walk alone" is OSLO, Norway. And why might that be, you ask? Why for the same reason people are afraid to walk alone in Luton, England and Malmo, Sweden and areas of Paris, France: Muslims.

The proliferation of "No Go Areas" throughout Europe over the past decade parallels the tidal wave of Muslim immigrants establishing enclaves of Muslims only wherein they practice Sharia law and repel police and emergency workers. All the while, the governments refuse to recognize the growing infection and blithely continue on with their multi-culti, politically correct self-destruction of inviting even more Muslims to immigrate.

The same is happening in America and Canada, but on a reduced scale as the percentage of Muslims is not merely that of most European countries. But is only a matter of time till we see the same level of No Go areas here unless we stop the invasion.

Where will you be when when Jihad hits the street?

US embassy: 'Don't walk alone in Oslo at night'

Published: 18 Jan 2012 12:55 GMT+1

The United States embassy sent an email to US citizens in Oslo on Tuesday urging them to take extra care when out and about in the Norwegian capital after a spate of violent crimes in recent months

The embassy made reference to a knife attack on a tram at Solli Plass on January 5th, two stabbing incidents at Oslo Central Station on January 10th, as well as a number of assaults in the city’s parks, particularly Slottsparken (The Palace Park), national broadcaster NRK reports.

Americans are advised by the embassy to observe five basic safety procedures, ”even in a generally safe country like Norway.”

1. If possible, do not walk alone at night. If you are out late, arrange to walk with others or consider another form of transportation.

2. Remain in well-lighted areas with heavy traffic.

3. Be aware of your surroundings at all times; see potential threats before they become actual threats.

4. Trust your instincts. If something seems wrong, get yourself out of the area.

5. Keep your cell phone with you and charged to call for help if necessary. The police emergency number is 112, which you can dial from any land line or cell phone.

Norwegian media have reported extensively in recent months on an unprecedented number of attacks, especially rapes, in the city’s street and parks.

Video on Gingrich: ‘Yes’ to Muslim President but ‘No’ to Sharia

Newt gets it. He understands the implications of allowing Sharia law to have any weight in the US legal system. Allowing Sharia law is the thin end of the Islamic wedge and the next step on the slippery slope to dhimitude. Thank goodness Newt won't let himself be bullied with calls of bigot. So far he's the only national politician whith the balls to recognize the Islamic invasion for what it is and call it out.

Video on Gingrich: ‘Yes’ to Muslim President but ‘No’ to Sharia

Gingrich says he would have no problem with a Muslim as president if he rejects Sharia law. US Muslims in uproar: Gingrich a bigot.

By Tzvi Ben Gedalyahu
First Publish: 1/23/2012, 1:23 PM

Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich said he has no problem with a Muslim American president so long as he rejects Sharia religious law, a condition that has upset Muslims leaders in the United States.

Muslim journalist Ali Younes jabbed Gingrich with a loaded question last week in South Carolina before the state’s primaries, which Gingrich handily won. He told Gingrich that South Carolina has a governor from Indian origin and that a Jew and a woman formerly have run for president and vice president of the United States.

"Would you support a Muslim American running for president?” Younes asked. With a hint of what he may as the political future of the United States in coming years, Younes also asked, “Would you endorse...a Muslim-American, [who] could possibly be running for president?”

Gingrich did not flinch and replied, "A truly modern person who happened to worship Allah would not be a threat. A person who belonged to any kind of belief in Sharia, any kind of effort to impose that on the rest of us, would be a mortal threat."

“I am totally opposed to Sharia law being accepted by any court n the United States and I favor a federal law that pre-empts it and says Sharia law will not be used in any court.”

The Council of American Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim lobby in the United States, labeled Gingrich’s comments as evidence of his being "one of the nation's worst promoters of anti-Muslim bigotry.”

CAIR Legislative Director Corey Sayolor stated, "Newt Gingrich's vision of America segregates our citizens by faith. His outdated political ideas look backward to a time when Catholics and Jews were vilified and their faiths called a threat.”

Younes also questioned Gingrich on his statements that the “Palestinians are an invented people” and asked, “What do you suggest should happen to them? Should they become Israeli citizens?”

Gingrich answered, “If the Hamas and the PLO recognize Israel’s right to exist and they meant it, and they hunt down and stop the terrorists and the bombing, I would favor peace with the Palestinians and I would favor an independent Palestinian state.”

He added, "In November, 11 missiles were fired on Israel. That is not a peace process. That is war.”

Younes wrote for Al Arabiya Monday and quoted American Arab columnist Ray Hanania who argued that Gingrich's conditions are ”like the U.S. Congress asking the government to end crime in the streets of America as a condition of balancing the budget.”

Gingrich totally rejected the Arab world’s so-called “right of return,” a demand that millions of descendants of former Israeli Arabs be allowed to immigrate to Israel. “There is no natural right of return,” said Gingrich. “East Germans have no right of return to Poland, Greeks have no right of return to return to Turkey, and Poles have no right to return to Russia.”

In Younes’ article Monday, he quoted Arab American political analyst Osama Abu Katta as saying, “According to his argument, Jewish immigrants from around the world have no right to go to Palestine and take over that country claiming the right of return to their biblical lands.”

How Circumstance Dictates Islamic Behavior

The title sums it all up. When the Muslim community is weak, they're the nicest folks you could meet. But when the Muslim community is strong, they'll do anything within their power to impose Sharia law. This concept was embedded in Islam by the Pedophile Mohammed from the earliest days. And since this two faced, devious practice was taught by Mohammed, all Muslims emulate that behavior.

How Circumstance Dictates Islamic Behavior

Posted By Raymond Ibrahim On January 20, 2012 @ 12:01 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

Has there ever been a time when one group of people openly exposes its animosity for another group of people—even as this second group not only ignores the animosity, but speaks well, enables, and legitimizes the first group?

Welcome to the 21st century, where Western politicians empower those Muslims who are otherwise constantly and openly denouncing all non-Muslims as enemies to be fought and subjugated.

Consider this video Sheikh Yassir al-Burhami, a top-ranked figure in Egypt’s Salafi movement which won some 25% of the votes in recent elections. He makes clear a point that, in a different era, would be thoroughly eye-opening: that all notions of peace with non-Muslims are based on circumstance. When Muslims are weak, they should be peaceful; when strong, they should go on the offensive.

Discussing “the analogy between Egypt’s Christians and the Jews of Medina,” Burhami pointed out that Muslims may make temporary peace with infidels, when circumstance calls for it:

"The Jews of Medina represent a paradigm—laid by the prophet [Muhammad]—that shows how Muslims should deal with infidels. The prophet’s methods of dealing with infidels are available for Muslims to replicate depending on their situation and their capabilities. The Prophet in Mecca dealt with the infidels in a certain way, so whenever Muslims are vulnerable they should deal with the infidels in this same manner."

Libyan Islamists rally to demand sharia-based law

And so Libya is going the way of Egypt. No surprises here. You have to give the MB credit for patience, perseverance and planning. While it is not conducive to world piece, having the MB and other Salafists coming to power will insure continued sectarian infighting between Wahabbi sects and Sunni against Shiite. The classical Arab/Muslim intolerance for other religions/sects is the best thing that can happen to dilute the power of Islam. As long as Muslims are happy, willing and able to kill each other, the West has some breathing room to consolidate their power and formulate a plan to stop the Islamic invasion.

Libyan Islamists rally to demand sharia-based law

By Mahmoud Habboush

TRIPOLI | Fri Jan 20, 2012 6:11pm EST

TRIPOLI (Reuters) - Hundreds of Libyan Islamists rallied on Friday to demand that Muslim sharia law inspire legislation in what organizers called a response to the emergence of secular political parties after the fall of Muammar Gaddafi's dictatorship last year.

Assembled by Islamist political and religious groups, mostly young and bearded men holding up copies of the Koran demonstrated in squares in the capital Tripoli, the eastern city of Benghazi and in Sabha in the southern desert.

In Tripoli's Algeria Square, Islamists burned copies of the "Green Book," Gaddafi's eccentric handbook on politics, economics and everyday life, to underline that the Koran should be the country's main source of legislation.

By contrast, a group of secularists who have staged a sit-in in the square for more than a month chanted: "We want a civil state."

The Islamist demonstrators encompassed members of the conservative Muslim Brotherhood and harder-line Salafis, who both back strict versions of Islam, and relative moderates who prefer a civil state simply inspired by sharia.

The protests offered a glimpse into Libya's political future in which Islamist and secularist parties are expected to vie for seats in a national assembly scheduled to be elected in June to draft a constitution for the North African country.

Iranian Christians tell of persecution

And here is why there can be no form of democracy which includes any elements of Sharia.

"Despite appeals against the court’s ruling that apostasy is not a crime under Iran’s penal code, the Supreme Court held in June 2011 that apostasy was still punishable under Sharia law. The court also asked a lower court to review whether Pastor Youcef was a Muslim when he became a Christian at the age of 19."

To the true believer, Sharia must always trump secularism.

Iranian Christians tell of persecution

A young man is forced to squat on the floor of a small, closed room. Soldiers cock their rifles. Bound and blindfolded, the man does not know if a shot will ring out, or if that it will be the last sound he hears.

A young woman is arrested for no reason and held, isolated, in a solitary room, and interrogated for 14 hours straight, not knowing whether she will ever see her family again.

An entire family is on edge as they are warned to not turn off their phones, so they can receive their daily threat of interrogation and incarceration.

As terrible and unreal as these three situations may sound, they are regular occurrences for Christians living in Iran in 2012, as testified to by Pouya and Tarsa, two young people presently visiting and ministering in Bermuda at local churches with international missions group, Youth With A Mission (YWAM).

University atheist society president forced to resign after cartoon of Muhammad having a drink with Jesus is posted on Facebook

It's time, no, it's way past time that us kuffars stop apologizing every time some Muslim is "insulted" or thinks the Pedophile Mohammed has been insulted. It's time to stand on our two feet and tell the Muslim world to go pound sand if they don't like criticisms of Islam.

Every time some dhimmi, from the President of the US on down apologizes for some perceived insult, the Western world is diminished and makes itself subservient to Islam. While it's president has decided to step down, at least the University Athiest Society has decided not to knuckle under to Muslim demands. Yet. Hopefully they will find the balls to continue to defy the Muslim bullies.

University atheist society president forced to resign after cartoon of Muhammad having a drink with Jesus is posted on Facebook

By Suzannah Hills

Last updated at 4:04 PM on 19th January 2012

A row has erupted over an atheist society at a top London University posting a cartoon sketch featuring the prophet Muhammad having a drink with Jesus on its Facebook page.

A student Muslim group is demanding the 'offensive' image of Jesus and Mo having a drink at the bar, taken from an online satirical sketch, be removed from the social networking site.

The president of the Atheist, Secularist and Humanist society at the prestigious University College London (UCL), Robbie Yellon, has stepped down over the controversy.

Controversy: A student atheist group at the University of London (UCL) has sparked a row after posting a cartoon of the prophet Muhammed on its Facebook page

But the Society still refuses to take down the image - claiming its right to defend 'freedom of expression'.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association's protest against the photo has been backed by UCL's Union.

A UCL Union statement said: 'The atheist society has agreed they will take more consideration when drawing up publicity for future events.

'The society was asked to remove the image because UCLU aims to foster good relations between different groups of students and create a safe environment where all students can benefit from societies regardless of their religious or other beliefs.'

The image that started the controversy was taken from an online twice-weekly satirical comic strip, called Jesus and Mo, and has been running since 2005.

The Association aims to continue its protest until the image is taken down - claiming it is offensive and has wider implications.

The association's national spokesperson, Adam Walker, said the two student groups had worked well together in the past and said the offence was unnecessary.

He said: 'The principle is more important than who is being attacked - this time it is Muslims and Christians but in the future it could be atheists themselves.

'The principle is more important than who is being attacked - this time it is Muslims and Christians but in the future it could be atheists themselves.

'There is no need to print these things other than to cause offence and history has told us that these things cause offence.'

He added: 'I wouldn't say we're specifically pursuing UCL atheist society, it's more about the broader principle.'

The row has prompted debate on the internet with prominent academic and author Richard Dawkins backing the atheist society.

A spokesman for UCL said: 'A situation has arisen surrounding publication by the UCLU Atheist, Secularist and Humanist Society on its Facebook page of a cartoon entitled Jesus and Mo, representing Jesus and Muhammad sitting in a pub.

'A number of complaints about the cartoon have been received by UCLU from UCL students.

'UCL believes that managing the conduct of student societies is primarily a matter for the UCL Union and not the university centrally.

'We understand that the Union has asked the Society to take the cartoon down, and this request has been refused.'

This is not the first time a comic strip has caused large-scale controversy.

In 2005, cartoons of the Prophet Muhammed published by Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten sparked world-wide controversy.

The newspaper claimed the publication was an attempt to contribute to the debate regarding criticism of Islam and self-censorship.

But Danish Muslim organisations that objected to the depictions, describing them as Islamophobic or racist, responded by holding public protests attempting to raise awareness of Jyllands-Posten's publication.

Further examples of the cartoons were soon reprinted in newspapers in more than 50 other countries, further deepening the controversy.

This led to Islamic protests across the Muslim world, some of which escalated into violence, including the bombing of the Danish embassy in Pakistan and setting fire to the Danish Embassies in Syria, Lebanon and Iran, storming European buildings, and burning the Danish, Dutch, Norwegian, French and German flags in Gaza City.

Islamists continue their takeover of the Middle East.

Jordan's Islamists 'preparing to govern'

(MENAFN - Jordan Times) The Islamist movement has launched preparations to take part in a future government, as the Islamic Action Front (IAF) considers sweeping internal reforms to strengthen the party ahead of potential elections.

In an ordinary IAF Shura Council session late Saturday, Islamist leaders discussed potential measures should the party, the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan, come to power in a government based on a parliamentary majority.

During the meeting, party leaders focused on the steps to make the potential transition from an "opposition movement" to a governing party, a transformation that IAF Secretary General Hamzah Mansour warned will be "difficult" for the movement.

SANAA, Yemen -- Islamist militants have seized full control of a town southeast of Yemen's capital, raising their flag over the citadel, overrunning army positions, storming the local prison and pledging allegiance to al-Qaida leader Ayman al-Zawahri, residents said Monday.

The capture of Radda in Bayda province, some 100 miles south of capital Sanaa, underscores the growing strength of al-Qaida in Yemen as it continues to take advantage of the weakness of a central government struggling to contain nearly a year of massive political unrest.

A Taste of Islam: An Interview with Bill Warner

Posted By Mark Tapson On January 16, 2012 @ 12:08 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

In the years after the 9/11 attacks, more non-Muslims than ever before have studied Islam to understand the religious motives of those who had declared war on us. And yet non-believers who are alarmed at what they have found in the foundational texts of Islam are always told by apologists that we don’t understand the true Koran, that we labor under misconceptions about the Religion of Peace, that we don’t understand the complexities of sharia, that our objections and criticisms stem from racism (even though Islam is not a race) and an irrational fear of Islam and its adherents. The problem always seems to lie with us. What is the truth and how can we get to it behind the contradictions and the mystification?

Bill Warner has the answer. The founder and director of the Center for the Study of Political Islam (CSPI), he holds a PhD in physics and math. He has been a university professor, a businessman, and an applied physicist. But Dr. Warner has also had a lifelong interest in religion and its impact on history, and so the day after 9/11 he decided to make the source texts of Islam available for the average person who wants to know more.

As part of that effort, Mr. Warner has produced a dozen books, including a Koran, a biography of Mohammed and a summary of the political traditions of Mohammed. He writes articles and produces news bulletins that record the suffering of the victims of political Islam. And he has spoken nationally and internationally about Islamic political doctrine.

Three Fundamental Mistakes in Dealing with Islam

Posted By Daniel Greenfield On January 16, 2012 @ 12:28 am In Daily Mailer,FrontPage

We made three fundamental mistakes in our dealings with Islam. First, we assumed that the only politically acceptable answer was also the right answer. This is the most common mistake that politicians make.

Second, we established a construct of a moderate and extreme Islam that reflected how we saw it from the outside. This construct had no theological relationship to any actual belief or movement within Islam. Had we made the division into modern and fundamentalist, we would at least have been using words that meant something. Instead we used moderate and extreme in a military sense to mean hostile and friendly or neutral. But as a Vietnam era president and military command should have known, in a guerrilla war not everyone who isn’t shooting at you is friendly or even neutral.

Taqiyya for Kids

By Janet Tassel

It was the first week in October in Newton, an upscale suburb of Boston, and Tony Pagliuso's daughter, a sophomore at Newton South High School, was visibly disturbed. When Tony asked her the problem, she showed him a passage from the chapter she was assigned in her World History Class. It was a chapter called "Women, an Essay," from a supplemental text called The Arab World Notebook. In a paragraph devoted to women "in the struggle for independence from colonial powers," we find:
Over the past four decades, women have been active in the Palestinian resistance movement. Several hundred have been imprisoned, tortured, and killed by Israeli occupation forces since the latest uprising, "intifada," in the Israeli occupied territories.

Pagliuso assured his daughter that this was "total propaganda," and took the matter up with the young teacher, a Miss Jessica Engel, who couldn't understand what all the fuss was about. The material had been "vetted" and was deemed "appropriate," she said, "and would stay in the curriculum. After all, she continued, the head of the history department had gotten this material at an outreach workshop of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at Harvard!

Thence to the principal, Joel Stembridge, who glared at Pagliuso and asked, "How do you pronounce 'Pagliuso'?" and dismissing him brusquely with a refusal to apologize, added: "If you're unhappy with this, you should know that next year we're planning to teach material that will be even more inflammatory to your sensibilities." (Where is Ferris Bueller when you need him?) Since Miss Jessica Engel had devoted one day each to Judaism and Christianity while spending 2 ½ weeks on Islam, Tony wasn't sure how much more inflammatory things could get.
A couple of weeks later, nine stalwart Newton citizens presented themselves at the Newton School Committee meeting, where superintendent David Fleischman, and even the mayor, Setti Warren, were present. The citizens were courteously received, and as it happens Fleishman announced shortly thereafter that indeed the chapter "didn't meet the learning goals of the class" and had been removed from the curriculum.

"Didn't meet the learning goals" is Eduspeak for "What the hell is this and how the hell did it get in?" The answer to the latter is, as noted, Harvard, which, as it happens, held a seminar on Israel and Palestine at Newton South in April 2011. And Newton is far from the only community to take its lead on matters Islamic from Harvard. Public and private schools all over Massachusetts send teachers to the Outreach Center at Harvard for guidance and (free) materials. The program, like the Center for Middle Eastern Studies itself, is heavily Saudi-funded.

Women in tribal areas still live in fear

This is the Taliban Obama wants to negotiate with. This is the Taliban that will never change from it's barbaric 7th century implementation of Sharia. This is the Taliban that would impose their sick "religion" on YOU if they had the chance.

Women in tribal areas still live in fear

Claim they are terror­ised for ventur­ing outdoo­rs.

By PPI
Published: January 13, 2012

PESHAWAR: In Bajaur Agency, very few girls go to school due to threats by the Taliban.

“When I hired a tutor so my two elder daughters could keep up with their studies at home, I began receiving threats,” said Salim Jan from Khar. He is in a quandary about whether to leave the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (Fata), according to a report by IRIN.

“The militants are still here despite the military’s claims of victory in 2010,” he added.

According to the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP), many girls in 2009-10 were forced to join seminaries due to fear of the Taliban.

Not a single girl applied for admission to class nine and no girl went to college in Bajaur, Frontier Region (FR) Kohat and FR Lakki Marwat, stated the HRCP in a September report. Opposition by the Taliban to girls’ education, propaganda against it through illegal FM radio channels, threats and declaring girls’ education as ‘vulgar and un-Islamic’, were preventing parents from sending their daughters to schools, it added.

Zulaikha Bibi*, a resident of a village near Wana, said she had heard of women being mutilated by militants, for ‘offences’ such as venturing outdoors without a male escort.

“Those who live outside the tribal areas cannot imagine the fear women live in,” she said. “There have been cases of militants bursting into homes to ‘check’ on women’s morality in South Waziristan. My teenaged cousin had her hair chopped off because her head was not properly covered, just a few months back.”

Maryam Bibi, chief executive of Khwendo Kor, an NGO, said, “Despite the official stance that the Taliban have been defeated, they are present in remote areas. Women live in terror and have told me their stories of exploitation, harassment and other forms of terrible violence.”

She said accounts contained in a recent study by her organisation, which spoke of militants slicing off the breasts of a mother feeding her baby inside her house, had been verified by field workers.

“I have met displaced women who were asked by security staff at refugee camps for sexual favours in exchange for food,” she said, adding that women also lived in terror in settled areas with Taliban domination, such as Tank district.

“The plight of these women is terrible. It will only change if men’s mindset is be altered,” she remarked.

Asia Bibi, 19, who now lives in Peshawar with her family, said, “Every woman in Mohmand Agency, where I belong, lives in constant terror. The fear of being humiliated when we step out on the street, even if we are covered from head to toe, is demeaning, and violence against women is common – not just by militants but by relatives.”

An HRCP report in October 2010, described specific difficulties faced by displaced women, who had multiple problems getting registered at camps and receiving aid.

“Involuntary displacement can expose women and girls to a range of factors which may put them at risk of further violations of their rights,” it read.

In a separate report on Swat compiled during the same year, HRCP noted that women continued to face many difficulties, including lack of access to education and lack of mobility even a year after the conflict had ended.

In a press release commenting on the Khwendo Kor report, entitled Impact of Crisis on Women and Girls in Fata, UN Women said, “In crises situations, women are among the most vulnerable. During both relief and early recovery, women and children tend to be affected in very different ways from men.”

Fata comprises of some of the least developed areas of the country, according to official figures, with the literacy rate for women standing at barely three per cent.
