Small Victories

A PLAN to sell a Roman Catholic convent on Staten Island to a Muslim group for use as a mosque is faltering in the face of community opposition. Read more.

In Tennessee, hundreds fight against a 52,000 square foot Islamic center. See the video.

Under pressures from churches and locals, the town of Camberley, south East England, has voted down by a huge majority plans by the local Muslim community to build a mosque. Read more.

Mark Hass and EducateUSA

MARK HASS is an ACT Chapter Leader for Silicon Valley, and Director of EducateUSA. He identified the MSA (Muslim Students Association) at his daughter's school as a threat in his local community, and formulated a strategy to a) politely educate local school boards and local government, and b) to let them know that once they were politely informed and made aware of the affiliations and activities of the MSA, they would be held accountable for that knowledge.

Mark is using testimony and findings from the HLF (Holy Land Foundation) trial and convictions, including the list of 'unindicted co-conspirators' and ties to Muslim Brotherhood, etc. In addition, he recently added info from the CAIR investigations. His strategy has undergone several iterations and legal reviews.

And he is mentoring a group of citizen warriors, providing outstanding leadership, conviction and purpose.

Rep. Ernest Wooton

Rep. Ernest Wooton from Belle Chase, Louisiana authored two bills that were approved by Louisiana's legislative committee.

Says James Gill: "One of Wooton's bills, which provides that no foreign law shall be applied here if it violates a right guaranteed by the American Constitution, is by any rational measure superfluous. But it is not unknown for immigrant litigants to invoke the tenets of Sharia to which, the committee was told, the Maryland courts deferred in a child custody case.

"The Louisiana Supreme Court has so far insisted that cases in America are settled according to American law, but the committee figured it was wise to commit future jurists to that sound principle."

It is a Muslim's Islamic duty to work toward the establishment of Sharia law wherever they are. And they do. The pressure is unrelenting. Where they cannot openly engage in aggression, they wage jihad by gaining concessions. That's why Wooton's bill is important and that's why I hope governing bodies all over the world follow Louisiana's example.

Charles Krauthammer

Every once in awhile someone writes a piece so clear and so persuasive, it is spontaneously shared far and wide and changes peoples' minds. Or at least loosens their self-righteous certainty, opening the way for new knowledge to leak in. Charles Krauthammer's article, Outreach, Yes. Apology, No. is just such a piece.

The article is about two comments Obama made, and how those comments reflect Obama's and many others' lack of knowledge about recent history. Obama's comments implied that the United States should apologize to the Muslim world for our disrespect of them. Here are a few excerpts from Krauthammer's piece:

In these most recent 20 years — the alleged winter of our disrespect of the Islamic world — America did not just respect Muslims, it bled for them. It engaged in five military campaigns, every one of which involved — and resulted in — the liberation of a Muslim people: Bosnia, Kosovo, Kuwait, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The two Balkan interventions — as well as the failed 1992-93 Somalia intervention to feed starving African Muslims (43 Americans were killed) — were humanitarian exercises of the highest order, there being no significant U.S. strategic interest at stake. In these 20 years, this nation has done more for suffering and oppressed Muslims than any nation, Muslim or non-Muslim, anywhere on Earth. Why are we apologizing?

Read the whole article (and please share it): Outreach, Yes. Apology, No.

Oklahoma Rep. Rex Duncan

REP. DUNCAN is the primary author of HJR 1056, a proposal to amend Article 7, Section 1 of the Oklahoma Constitution, making the state courts rely on federal and state laws when deciding cases and forbidding the courts from using Sharia law when making rulings.

Oklahoma is the first state to pass such legislation.

Check out a short article about it on one of my favorite blogs: Oklahoma Rep. Duncan calls for preemptive strike on Sharia.

Vijay Kumar

TODAY WE HAVE a very different newletter, not because it deals with Islam and politics, but because it is written by a politician — Vijay Kumar is running for Congress in Tennessees' 5th District. His billboards say "Defeat Universal Jihad." Imagine for a moment, that we had elected officials who actually knew who Mohammed was and what the true nature of jihad is. Instead, we have officials who believe Islam has been maligned and misunderstood and if we are just "nice" enough, they will love us.

ISRAEL IS THE TARGET of Islam's Universal Jihadists, whether they come from Turkey, Palestine, Lancashire, the United Nations, Maine, or Sweden. Islam's own Syed Qutb said it best: "A Muslim has no nationality except his belief." The exact same statement applies to the allies and supporters of Islam's Universal Jihadists.

That's why all the talk about Gaza and Palestinians and Turkey and "humanitarian aid" is pure fraud and nothing but fraud, all merely part of the Islamic Universal Jihad against Israel and everything it stands for. The Muslims involved in the attacks on Israel — no matter what piece of land they call home — care nothing for manmade geographical boundaries, just as they care nothing for manmade laws, or, for that matter, human life.

What they care about is wiping Israel and everything it stands for off the face of the Earth. That is their goal. The one thing that Israel stands for that drives the Universal Jihadists of the Middle East mad — however short a trip that may be — is the right and freedom of a human being to be something other than Muslim. Universal Jihadists are dedicated to wiping such freedom from the face of the Earth. That's why their overtly stated goal is to destroy Israel and the Jews. It is pure, seething hatred.

The "humanitarian aid" mission these Universal Jihadists and their liberal handmaidens are parading before the world press is nothing but a flotilla of pure, seething hatred, and it is a criminal fraud on Israel and on the world. It is actually a massive propaganda mission whose sole purpose is to smear and defame Israel, and weaken it for future attacks.

For those people of reason in the world who care about facts instead of hysterical Jihadist propaganda, over a million tons of humanitarian supplies have gone into Gaza through Israel in the last 18 months. That's nearly a full ton of supplies for every man, woman, and child in all of Gaza!

So who is lying? The Jihadists and their liberal "friends" fraudulently pretending to be on a "humanitarian aid" mission are lying. That shouldn't be a surprise: Islam demands that Muslims lie to non-Muslims if it benefits Universal Jihad and the Islamic goal of world domination.

Hamas is just one arm of Universal Jihad, and they've sent over 10,000 mortars and rockets into Israel. Why? Pure, seething hatred, that's why.

Israel is completely within its legal rights under international law to have mounted the Gaza blockade, and to have enforced it in international waters by stopping the Jihadist flotilla of pure, seething hatred fraudulently calling itself a "humanitarian aid" mission.

But the Universal Jihadists surrounding Israel on every side care nothing whatsoever about "international law." That, after all, is just more man-made law, and means absolutely nothing to the Jihadists, who honor only the allegedly "divine law" of the Quran and the Sunnah: Shariah law.

Islam's own Syed Qutb said it clearly: "There is only one law which ought to be followed, and that is the Shariah."

Islam's own Syed Qutb also exposed the complete fraud being perpetrated by Hamas and the rest of the Jihadist liars claiming that Gaza, and even Israel, are somehow important for the land to Muslims: "The homeland of the Muslim, in which he lives and which he defends, is not a piece of land; the nationality of the Muslim, by which he is identified, is not the nationality determined by a government." So it's all Jihadist fraud, and nothing but fraud.

The real driving force behind it is the one that has perpetuated 1400 years of the same kind of aggression, invasion, war, terrorism, slaughter, propaganda, and conquest of entire civilizations, such as Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran: it is Universal Jihad, the eternal Islamic quest for complete world domination.

Israel is just the next most important target in this 1400-year war against mankind and civilization.

The "humanitarian aid" mission is a Universal Jihad war flotilla, and it is nothing else. Turkey’s ruling Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi, AKP) is the Turkish headquarters for Universal Jihad. The 10,000 rockets and mortars thrown by Hamas at Israel are missiles of Universal Jihad. The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is the American headquarters of Universal Jihad. The Muslims in Afghanistan and Pakistan flooding the world with heroin (which is only sold to non-Muslims) are doing their part for Universal Jihad. The Iranian madman Mahmoud Ahmadinejad calling for Israel to be "wiped off the face of the map" is the voice of Universal Jihad.

Universal Jihad is not only a declared war on Israel, it is a declared war on the United States and on our Constitution.

And to our eternal shame, our own President, Barack Hussein Obama, is now aiding and abetting Universal Jihad by his words and actions, and has turned his back on Israel.

I support Israel absolutely and unconditionally. I decry and denounce Universal Jihad as the most hateful, destructive, amoral, and vicious assault on mankind and human rights and freedoms that the world has ever known.

Civilus Defendus

SHE'S A ONE-WOMAN ARMY. The author of Citizen's Declaration and Plea of Relief, Civilus Defendus has written and posted the declaration, made it into a petition, which she has emailed, s-mailed, and faxed to Anti-Terror Caucus members, state representatives, Fox News, ACT for America, Center for Security Policy, and many anti-jihad bloggers including Robert Spencer and Bill Warner.

She also authored a piece called Why We Must Resist (PDF) and sent that to each member of the House Homeland Security Committee, chairs of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. John McCain, and President Obama.

She is planning a trip to Washington DC this April (2010) to meet with federal electeds, Sue Myrick and others. She will hand-deliver 535 hard copies of the Call to Action which includes "Why We Must Resist" and the Citizens' Declaration, and a few copies of Liberty vs. Sharia. She'll be visiting several internet contacts on the East Coast for networking and brainstorming.

She's also been on the G. Gordon Liddy show about 20 times as a caller. They have her on caller ID! She's written to newspapers in the US and UK, magazines, TV news shows, authors, courts, governors, mayors, banks, businesses, numerous elected representatives nationwide, advertising agencies, transit authorities, to "enlighten, support or diplomatically chastise."

And as if that's not enough, she has two websites: Civilus Defendus and Sharia-Free America, the first for commentary and the second to promote political action. And she does all this while still holding down a job and taking care of her family! For her hard work and inspirational example, Civilus Defendus has earned the Citizen Warrior Hero Award.

Mark Thompson

A WRITER for Time Magazine, Mark Thompson, wrote a piece entitled, The Fort Hood Report: Why No Mention of Islam? In it he justifiably criticizes the U.S. military for being too politically correct. All along the career of Major Nidal Malik Hasan, there were clear signs that perhaps this man was a threat to his fellow soldiers and his country, but they were "studiously ignored" because of blind multiculturalism.

Accusing people in government of being willfully ignorant of the basic doctrines of Islam is usually something only bloggers do — not mainstream writers like Mark Thompson. It took courage to say something so politically incorrect, but it needed to be said (and still needs to be said, to as wide an audience as possible), as Thompson has done.

So we officially award Mark Thompson the Citizen Warrior Hero award. Thank you, PinkNeck, for the suggestion.

Bill Gates Tells The Truth

I HAVE BEEN reading The Women's Crusade in the New York Times, and came across the following passage and I knew I had to share it with you.

Bill Gates recalls once being invited to speak in Saudi Arabia and finding himself facing a segregated audience. Four-fifths of the listeners were men, on the left. The remaining one-fifth were women, all covered in black cloaks and veils, on the right. A partition separated the two groups. Toward the end, in the question-and-answer session, a member of the audience noted that Saudi Arabia aimed to be one of the Top 10 countries in the world in technology by 2010 and asked if that was realistic. “Well, if you’re not fully utilizing half the talent in the country,” Gates said, “you’re not going to get too close to the Top 10.” The small group on the right erupted in wild cheering.

Bill Gates is a citizen warrior hero. The article I've quoted here was written by Sheryl WuDunn and Nicholas D. Kristof, the authors of Half the Sky and the creators of the Girl Effect. I urge you to throw yourself into helping girls around the world. Go to the Girl Effect website and get involved. Recruit your friends and family into the cause. This is a purpose we can all get behind. Join the Girl Effect on FaceBook to get updates.

Read more about how helping girls can save the world in the book, Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide.

Senator Jon Kyl

Please contact Senator Jon Kyl to thank him for hosting Geert Wilders, the man responsible for the film Fitna, and who is touring the U.S. this week.

It is a courageous thing to do for a politician simply because Wilders is such a controversial figure with the media. But this is exactly the kind of thing we'd like to encourage in our politicians, so please give him you very best kudos. He deserves it. Contact Jon Kyl here.

For more information on Mr. Wilders U.S. Tour Stops with the video of Fitna, go to Altas Shrugs.
