Another one of the FBI's midunderstanding of a  misunderstander of the Islam .Back in October 2007, I posted about Samir Khan, North Carolina Muslim who was blogging Al Qaeda in the good ole USA. Samir Khan befriended members of the Islamic Thinkers Society, a well known group that promotes violence, issues death threats to folks like me and Spencer and producers of South Park. More on this enemy in our midst here. Khan was Muslim, proud and vocal.

Check this out, back in October 2007 the NY Times reported - "Public concern rose a notch .....when The New York Times reported that one of the most popular English-language sites was run by a 21-year-old Qaeda enthusiast named Samir Khan from his parents’ home in North Carolina. Mr. Khan has done so since late 2005, unchallenged by law enforcement authorities"

Al-Qaeda Magazine Interviews “Proud” Traitor INN

(Israelnationalnews.com) Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) released on Monday the second issue of its English-language magazine called Inspire. The 74-page edition features an article by a 24 year-old former resident of North Carolina and New York City named Samir Khan.

The Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI) released excerpts from the interview on its website Monday. The cover page of the article, entitled "I Am Proud To Be a Traitor to America”, states that the article will tell "the story of the Muslim American jihadi Samir Khan. After working a few years in the jihad media sector in America, he packed his bags and left for Yemen to help the mujahidin. This is an account of how he happily became a traitor to America and why he chose to make such a decision."

Some notable excerpts from Samir Khan's story as quoted by both MEMRI and Fox News are: "I am a traitor to America because my religion requires me to be. We pledge to wage jihad for the rest of our lives until either we implant Islam all over the world or meet our Lord as bearers of Islam."

 

Khan describes himself as "Al-Qaeda to the core" and praises Osama bin Laden, calling him "leader of this global fight" against the West. He also criticizes the US for what he calls "kill[ing] millions of Muslims around the world" and "get[ting] away with it wearing a tuxedo." The article also describes how Khan become a devout Muslim and "could no longer reside in America as a compliant citizen."

 

Khan also talks about traveling to Yemen and mocks the FBI for spying on him, saying that it was them who allowed him to leave the US. He discusses what it feels like "to officially become a traitor" and states he is "prepared to make sacrifices."

Watch the video. Here is the whole ugly story. The leftist /Islamic unholy alliance. Think it's bad in the US, it's far worse in the tiny Jewish state of Israel. Carolyn Glick coins it "suicide protests":

David Be’eri is either much admired or much hated, depending on how you feel about Israel and Jewish heritage. Be’eri is the founder and head of the Ir David Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to excavating, preserving and developing biblical Jerusalem, the City of David.

When Be’eri began his project in 1986, the City of David, located just opposite the Old City, was in shambles. Former excavations were hidden beneath heaps of garbage and debris.

Owing to his efforts, today the City of David is one of Israel’s most beloved tourist attractions. Some 500,000 tourists visit the site each year. Seventeen archaeological excavations have been undertaken there or are currently ongoing. Annual archaeological conferences at the site attract leading scholars from all over the world.

One of the keys to Be’eri’s success has been the close relations he has cultivated with the local Arabs. Hundreds of local Arabs have worked in the City of David on the various excavations.

But in the past few months, and particularly since the Obama administration began pressuring Israel to curb its sovereignty in Jerusalem, things have begun to change. Leftist groups including Peace Now, Ir Amim, B’Tselem, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel, Rabbis for Human Rights, and Emek Shaveh have begun organizing frequent protests.

According to Udi Ragones, the spokesman for Ir David, the various leftist groups collaborate openly with two Arab groups that have been formed over the past year: Silwannet and the Wadi Hilweh Information Center. Peace Now’s Hagit Ofran is often seen working with Jawad Sayam from the information center.

One of the information center’s employees also works for Emek Shaveh, an organization of anti-Zionist archaeologists.

OVER THE past month, what began as non-violent protests against Ir David turned violent. A month ago, anti-Israel activists set several cars ablaze. Local Arabs who work with the Ir David Foundation began receiving threats. The car of one such Arab was set on fire.

Two weeks ago, the demonstrations morphed into suicide protests as activists set up a roadblock in the middle of the street, ambushed an Ir David security guard and began violently attacking him. In order to fend off his attackers, the guard shot his pistol and killed one of them. Using faux footage, the protesters accused the guard of murder in cold blood. The police rejected the accusation. Channel 2 initially backed up the protesters’ claim, but later its reporter recognized he had been used.

Last Friday, the violence was ratcheted up several notches when Be’eri was targeted by an ambush. As he drove to his home in Ir David with his 13-year-old son, the car in front of him suddenly hit the breaks.

Be’eri drove around the car and was greeted by an ambush of demonstrators who attacked him with stones.

Blocked from backing away by a car that had suddenly stopped, Be’eri had to decide between opening fire and driving through the protest. He drove through, hitting two of his attackers. Both were minors. Neither sustained serious injuries and were out and about within hours of the event.

The stone throwers were not the only people who participated in the ambush. Six or seven photographers and at least one employee of the Wadi Hilweh Information Center were also on the scene. The photographers hailed from the far Left Hebrew-language Walla web portal and from several European media outlets. They filmed Be’eri running over his attackers from multiple angles. They then quickly sold the story to the world as a tale of a vicious “settler” who ran over two innocent children on their way home from the mosque, just because he is an evil settler.

But as Ragones notes, “We were actually lucky that the media were there. The photos that were supposed to frame Be’eri showed clearly that the whole thing was a setup.”

Not only does the footage show that Be’eri was ambushed, it shows that the photographers were integral members of the ambush team. The children’s role was to provoke Be’eri into killing or injuring them by attacking him with rocks. The photographers’ role was to photograph the children getting killed or hurt.

The Ir David Foundation accuses the Wadi Hilweh Information Center of organizing the incident. The presence of the center’s employees on the scene in the footage lends credence to the allegation. Ir David also argues that the entire episode was the product of close coordination between the information center and the leftist groups that work with it to demonize, discredit and otherwise harm Ir David specifically and Israeli control over unified Jerusalem generally.

WHAT IS new about Friday’s incident is not its nature, but its location. As Marc Prowissor, the director of security projects for the One Israel Fund, a non-profit that supports stressed Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria, the Galilee and the Negev notes, these sorts of suicide protests have been going on for at least a decade.

Early incidents that had strategic impact on Israel’s international standing were the Muhammad al-Dura affair in October 2000 and the Rachel Corrie incident in 2003. In the former, Palestinian security forces worked with a Palestinian cameraman and France 2 to cook up the libel accusing IDF forces of killing the Palestinian boy Muhammad al-Dura. A French court ruled last year that the footage, which shows al Dura moving after he allegedly died, was falsified.

In the second incident, Corrie was brought to Gaza by the non-Israeli International Solidarity Movement and deployed to block IDF forces from carrying out counterterror operations. Corrie became the poster girl for suicide protesters when an IDF bulldozer operator, who could not see her, ran Corrie over as she sought to block his operations.

Since 2000, there has been escalating cooperation between Israeli leftist organizations with foreign projihad groups like ISM and Palestinian terror and political warfare outfits. This new cooperation first gained prominence as the Israeli group Anarchists Against the Wall began participating in the weekly Palestinian/ ISM riots against IDF units at Bi’ilin and Na’alin in 2003.

Prowissor notes that throughout Judea and Samaria, especially around olive harvest season, Rabbis for Human Rights and likeminded radical groups bus Arab protesters into areas where they do not live to stir up and participate in protests.

“Their modus operandi is always the same,” Prowissor explains. “They stage violent attacks in front of their own cameras with the aim of provoking local Israelis to defend themselves. For instance, they stone Jewish cars and if a Jewish driver gets out and tries to fend off his attackers, they film him and accuse him of attacking them for no reason.”

The weekly protests at Bi’ilin and Na’alin involve Palestinian, Western and Israeli rioters attacking IDF forces and Border Police units with stones and Molotov cocktails.

Five months ago, the protesters began using the same tactics against Israeli civilians at Neveh Tzuf in the Binyamin region. A few weeks ago they added the Carmei Tzur community in Gush Etzion to their list of targets.

As for Jerusalem, the riots in Sheikh Jarrah every Friday have been going on for several months. They spread to Ir David on Friday.

The reason for this is clear enough. Suicide protests are an effective means of harming Israel. Just look at the Turkish terror shop Mavi Marmara. The nine suicide protesters onboard who were killed while attacking IDF naval commandos with knives, guns and bats are a bonanza for Israel’s enemies. They are being used to drag Israel before the international hanging jury at the UN, the Hague, in US university campuses and throughout Europe.

What can be done about this growing menace? How can Israel defend itself against it? SUICIDE PROTESTS work on three levels simultaneously.

To neutralize their impact, Israeli citizens and officials have to develop strategies to contend with them on all three levels.

The most basic level is the criminal level. It is criminal to solicit violence. It is criminal to foment violence against citizens and security and police forces. It is criminal to conspire to carry out violence or impede soldiers, police and other security forces in the lawful dispatch of their duties.

Bearing this in mind, the police and the IDF should be directed to investigate all organizations suspected of planning, directing or participating in violent protests. When they get advance notice of protests, they can and should be preempted. It is legal for the police to arrest the protesters en route to illegal demonstrations.

Then too, cases should be built against sponsoring organizations. Groups instigating violence should be banned.

Suicide protests, like suicide bombs, use violence to advance political goals. In Israel’s case, they are used to demonize the state and its citizens in a bid to coerce the government into acting in a manner that endangers it.

Bureaucratic and political tools should be employed to scuttle these efforts. For instance, in the aftermath of Friday’s ambush in Ir David, the media watch group Tadmit sent a letter to the Government Press Office requesting that it withdraw the press credentials from the photographers present at the scene. The GPO should act on Tadmit’s request and deny or remove press credentials from any self-proclaimed reporter or photographer that participates in violent, illegal activities aimed against the state.

Beyond that, Israeli citizens’ groups and the government should actively discredit groups involved in suicide protests. Data should be gathered against participating organizations and should be rapidly released every time an event like last Friday’s ambush takes place.

Finally, there is the legal aspect of the suicide protest strategy. The alliance of Arab, Israeli and Western anti- Israel groups use suicide protests as a means of attacking Israel in foreign and international legal areas, like British courts and the Hague. Both private citizens and the government should sue local groups who collaborate with such initiatives for damages. To the extent that enabling legislation is required to bring such suits, the Knesset should pass such legislation.

The local media initially ran the story of Be’eri’s ambush just as the leftist-Arab coalition wanted them too. Be’eri was portrayed as an aggressive, violent settler who ran over two innocent Palestinian children for no reason. But then the suicide protesters overreached.

On Sunday they ambushed and stoned a Channel 2 camera crew. Sunday night the truth was out.

These stories make my physically ill. The 71-year-old pious Muslim "slapped" his daughter with such force that she died. Her crime: a lack of enthusiasm for the Muslim call to prayer.

The media calling it a slap is insane. One man's fatal punch in the head is another dhimmi's "slap." Look how this news account never mentions which religion she was killed for. I think I am going to throw up. Socked in the head with such force as to kill her............

Unlike Obama, the prettiest sound Noutene ever heard was not the Muslim call to prayer at sunset.

Longueuil girl, 13 dies after father slapped her

'Ray of light' was under pressure to pray, neighbours say

MONTREAL - A 13-year-old Longueuil girl died Saturday night as a result of injuries she sustained Wednesday when police say her 71-year-old father slapped her and she went into a coma.

Police said Mousaa Sidime, who was arrested for aggravated assault and has been detained since the incident, could now face a more serious charge when he appears in court Tuesday.

The girl, whom neighbours identified as Noutene Sidime, was found by emergency responders shortly after 6 p.m. Wednesday at her family dwelling on Chambly Rd. in Old Longueuil when the elderly father called police to say he had slapped his daughter, Longueuil police Constable Mark David said.

“When we got there the girl was bleeding around her nose and she has been in a coma ever since,” David said.

Shocked neighbours Monday described the girl as a "ray of light" who played happily with their children and used to give hugs to some of the other mothers when she came home from school.

But neighbour Linda Robert said Noutene had been quieter in the last two years. Her father was demanding, Robert said, and could be heard sometimes yelling at the children or his wife. On the evening that she was struck, neighbours said her father was calling in to recite her prayers, as he often did. She was reluctant to go, as she often was, neighbours said.

"Even when she was young, she hated going in for her prayers," Robert said.

David said police were informed Monday that the girl died in hospital about 10 p.m. Saturday.

He said it will be up to a crown prosecutor to decide if the man will face a more serious charge. He was scheduled to be arraigned on the charge of aggravated assault at Longueuil courthouse Tuesday.

UPDATE: The Father was a devout Muslim. (hat tip Nick)

' [family friend Mama ] Doumdoula  also discounted rumours the girl might have been rebelling against her father and his adherence to Muslim rituals.'

[...]

UPDATE: More from Nick (here)

"When we got there the girl was bleeding around her nose and she has been in a coma ever since," Longueuil police constable Mark David said.

Nick adds, "A 'slap' doesn't leave you bleeding 'around your nose' and in a coma.

We have a grown man attacking a young woman and leaving her bleeding and in a coma from which she never regains consciousness. And somewhere, in an office, someone decides that the most appropriate word to use to describe this event is 'slap.

What a joke! But no one's laughing."

I can tell you this, Atlas readers. I have been studying the lives of these girls in these homes for years and this little girls home life was torment, a homemade concentration camp.

Every day she walked into that house she had a lump in her throat. It's why she was a "ray of light" outside and with friends -  she was free of the shackles of her father's Islamic oppression and subjugation.

More of radical Imam Rauf's special brand of "healing and outreach." Vincent Forras spoke at our June 6th Rally against the Ground Zero mega mosque here and here. Forras was one of the first firefighters who answered the call on the day of the bloodiest, most heinous attack ever on American soil by Muslim terrorists. Forras was buried under the rubble for hours.

Imam Rauf's book title, remember, was "A Call to Prayer from the World Trade Center Rubble: Islamic Dawa in the Heart of post 9/11 America." Proselytizing from the rubble of human remains, got that? 

Forras survived to live another day and fight, but Imam Rauf has other plans for this great American hero. The healing outreach program of radical Rauf is suing Forras for, get this, bigotry. How rich, coming from an Islamic supremacist. Rauf is taking a page from his close advisers at the Muslim Brotherhood front, Hamas-linked CAIR. Pure evil.

The "silver lining" (if one could call it that) of the Ground Zero triumphal mosque is that it is unmasking the "moderates." 

Anti-mosque lawsuit slammed as bigotry NY Post

The developers behind the proposed mosque and cultural center near Ground Zero are blasting a $350 million lawsuit filed by a 9/11 first responder as "blind bigotry."

Vincent Forras, a former volunteer firefighter from Westchester, has sued Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and Park51 -- the complex that includes the mosque -- charging that they're fronts for "interests tied to terrorism."

Forras says he deserves to be compensated for the "psychological terrorism" and emotional distress he suffered when he learned of the mosque plans.

He calls the development a "monument to the jihadists' victory over American ideals of freedom and democracy, [and] a desecration of the terrible sacrifice made by those innocents attacked."

He also is seeking class-action status for the suit.

In a countersuit, Rauf and Park51 seek to dismiss the filing as a publicity stunt motivated by "blind bigotry."

They are also seeking $50,000 in damages and lawyers' fees.

The attorney representing the developers, Adam Leitman Bailey, is seeking to have Foras' lawsuit dismissed based on the constitutional right to freedom of religion.

Remember when Obama said, “We are the ones we have been waiting for”? Yes, indeedy. And today, he is the one he is looking for.

Big Government has my latest oped -- call for an investigation of Obama's foreign millions:

Foreign Contributions, Investigating Obama Pamela Geller, Breitbart's Big Government

Foreign Contributions: Investigating Obama It took years, but there is something I finally agree with Barack Obama and Al Franken on. Obama and his propaganda machine in the mainstream media, not to mention his party of corruption, are calling for an investigation of “foreign money” in campaigns.

Finally.

I have been calling for a special prosecutor for years, ever since I exposed the millions Obama received from Muslim nations, Hamas-controlled Gaza and other foreign countries.

Obama warned Thursday that “groups that receive foreign money are spending huge sums to influence American elections, and they won’t tell you where the money for their ads come from.” He also said that “just this week, we learned that one of the largest groups paying for these ads regularly takes in money from foreign corporations.” Franken then duly hurried to do Obama’s bidding, calling on the Federal Election Commission to investigate the Chamber of Commerce, the group to which Obama was referring.

We move to a theater of the absurd upon hearing Al Franken, who lost his election on election night and began pulling votes out of car trunks to steal that election, calling for an investigation of foreign money.

Nonetheless, the Democrats’ mainstream media shills then took up the cause. On MSNBC, Rachel Maddow confronted Oregon Republican Congressional candidate Art Robinson with accusations about foreign contributions: “If you get elected in part because of this spending and you find out that it’s from criminals, or foreign interests, or communists or something, wouldn’t that bother you?”

Whether or not it should bother Robinson, it should bother Obama. While he is calling for an investigation into the Chamber of Commerce, there should be a full investigation into the foreign millions Obama received for his campaign. As I show in great detail in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration’s War On America (Simon & Schuster), Obama’s 2008 campaign finance records are full of riddles, mysteries, and unanswered questions. It was I who broke the explosive news stories of Obama’s contributions from Gaza (Hamas-controlled Rafah) (documentation here), and of how he lied about refunding those jihad donations -- not to mention the tens of millions of dollars Obama received in donations from foreign countries (scroll this link).

Yes, I checked over John McCain’s FEC records, too. They were so clean, you could eat dinner of them. Not Obama’s. Contributing nearly $25,000 to the Obama campaign was Monir Edwan, who was listed on FEC documents as contributing from the city of Rafah in the state “GA.” Georgia? No – there is no Rafah in the Peach State. Monir Edwan sent money to Obama from Rafah, Gaza. Rafah is a Gaza refugee camp.

According to the FEC, contributions to the Obama campaign from three brothers, Osama, Monir and Hossam Edwan, all from Rafah, totaled $33,000. And they weren’t alone. Al-Jazeera reported on March 31, 2008 that Gazans were manning phone banks for the Obama campaign. Here is video of those Gaza phone banks.

The Obama campaign claimed that they had returned $33,500 in illegal contributions from Gaza – despite the fact that records do not show that it was returned, and the brothers said they did not receive any money. And indeed, Obama’s refunds and redesignations on file with the FEC show no refund to Osama, Hossam, or Monir Edwan in the Rafah refugee camp.

When I confronted Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) about the Gaza phone banks issue in South Florida in early November 2008, he said that if there “really were phone banks in Gaza, that would be a major campaign issue.” But he laughed at the idea that Obama was receiving campaign contributions from Gaza. The mainstream media laughed with him, continuing its refusal to cover this explosive story.

 

 

And to this day Obama’s foreign contributions have never been investigated.

The Democrat party today is so corrupt that Boss Tweed is blushing. The Democrats are so contemptuous of the American people, they think they can pull a stunt like this while being unequivocally guilty of what they’re accusing the Chamber of Commerce of doing.

As for the Chamber of Commerce, spokesperson Tita Freeman said: “We’re careful to ensure that we comply with all applicable laws. No foreign money is used to fund political activities.”

Remember when Obama said, “We are the ones we have been waiting for”? Yes, indeedy. And today, he is the one he is looking for.

This is our moment. This is the moment we have been waiting for. This is the time to investigate Obama’s contributions. It could, and should, mean the end of Obama’s presidency.

UPDATE: Much thanks to Mark Levin who made the same point I made in my article above and  gave a shout out to my investigative work on Obama's foreign contributions back in 2008, the story that Atlas broke. Want to hear it? Here's the podcast.

UPDATE: Hillbuzz queries same.

Are we to believe that this was not an honor killing, the way the Times Square car bombing was not Islamic jihad? Or the Fort Hood jihad was not ..........jihad?

We have been told that Mrs Shahzad had been seeing other men and I suppose it is likely that her sons may not of approved of this.

What's important here is not that a vibrant, wonderful woman who was civic-minded and guided other Muslim women was brutally murdered by her sons in an honor killing. What's important here is that we not mention the motive or the religious motivation behind honor killings, so as not to insult or defame Islam. That is what is key. That is what is important. Do not insult Islam. Honor killings are epidemic in the Muslim world (only Gd knows how many girls are buried under the porch in Pakistan), but they are increasingly on the rise in the West (more on that here -- scroll.) But the feminists and the leftists and the Islamic machine scold us, remind us and admonish us to ignore this gender-cide and instead adhere to the sharia. Do not defame Islam.

It is why the Islamic supremacists tried to ban my taxi honor killing campaign here and my bus campaign for Muslims who must live in fear for their lives simply because they wanted to leave Islam.

Sons held after estranged wife who had been seeing other men is stabbed to death at luxury home Daily Mail

Two sons of a wealthy businesswoman were being questioned last night on suspicion of stabbing their mother to death after her marriage broke down and she began seeing other men.

Marriage broke down? They had been separated for several  years.

Assia Shahzad, 40, suffered multiple wounds during the bloodbath at the £600,000, six-bedroom family home.

Neighbours and family friends said that she was estranged from her husband and her relationships with other men angered close relatives.

Police were holding her sons Usman, 21, and 16-year-old Suleiman.  

The mother of three, who lived with her sons in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, had been separated from her husband, Rashad, 45, for several years.

She was taken to Stoke Mandeville hospital on Saturday night after a relative raised the
alarm and died shortly afterwards, at about 8pm.

[...]

'We have been told that Mrs Shahzad had been seeing other men and I suppose it is likely that her sons may not of approved of this. It might explain the motive, although we do not know.' 

Another added: 'Assia was a strong-minded, independent, modern woman. This did not always sit well with some parts of the family.'

Police said they were treating the horrific incident as 'domestic related' rather than an honour killing.

Muslims arriving at the mosque at the end of Mrs Shahzad's road for prayers spoke of their shock yesterday.

Raj Khan, a Buckinghamshire county councillor who grew up with her, said: 'We lived on the same street, went to school together and we were in the same business together.

'We have a good friendship through our fathers, so there's a long history between us.

'I am devastated. I only saw her yesterday.

'It seems like a total nightmare. She seemed okay  -  she was her normal self and was talking about going for some food.

'It's a devastating time, not only for her family but for the community. She was a very community-spirited lady.

She helped where she could, particularly with Asian [code for Muslim in the UK -- Atlas]  women's issues by filling in their forms and advising them.

Once again, a faceless victim. If anyoen comes across a picture of Assia, please send it along. She was a vibrant woman. She's not just another honor killing that no one will speak of.

UPDATE: Much thanks to Denise and Bert for the pic.

UPDATE: Her hands were cut off:

A 21-year-old UK man has been charged with the gruesome stabbing murder of his wealthy mother amid suggestions her death was an "honour killing".

Usman Shahzad and a 16-year-old boy were arrested at the home in Aylesbury, north of London, after the death of his 40-year-old mother Assia, the Guardian reported.

[..]

Reports say Mrs Shahzad's hands were severed in the attack.

[..]

Her uncle said that Mrs Shahzad was well known in Aylesbury and "lived for her kids".

No, this is not a flyer for a talk by Major Hasan (the jihadi who came out on grand rounds) before mowing down 14 US soldiers at Fort Hood. The silence on their bloody slaughter is treasonous. But it is strangely evocative of Hasan's dawah on Grand Rounds. I wonder if this Dr. Hassan will use other Dr. Hasan's powerpoint presentation on Islam I do. It is the must succinct presentation on jihad and the threat doctrine (below).

This is a taxpayer-funded New York hospital. Call me old fashioned, but I don't want my taxpayer dollars used to proslytize for Islam. Separation of mosque and state, right?

This is still America, is it not? Contact the hospital. Politely explain your position. This is wrong.

UPDATE: Style Editor Ned Martel tells Post ombudsman Andy Alexander that he chose to pull the cartoon after conferring with Executive Editor Marcus W. Brauchli and others because "it seemed a deliberate provocation without a clear message." He adds that "the point of the joke was not immediately clear" and that readers might think that Muhammad was somewhere in the drawing.

Wow. Surrender of the mightiest, most magnificent, most moral civilization in human history to savages is a mere update to a week-old WaPo article.

In yet another crushing blow to our basic founding principle of free speech, The Washington Post has pulled the "Where's Muhammad" cartoon off its website. The cartoon does not even depict Moe. It mentions him. But even this is too much for the dhimmedia. Afraid to publish the innocuous cartoon in their hard copy edition last Sunday, they made the transparent gesture, the half-assed accommodation to free speech, to publish the cartoon in their online edition. I wrote about it here, back on the 6th -- and it didn't take but a couple of days to surrender to Islam.

When you trade freedom for peace, you get neither.

This is the same newspaper that is shamelessly shilling for the Ground Zero Islamic supremacist mega mosque on hallowed ground, spitting on the memory of our precious loved ones. 70% of the American people are offended by the mega mosque. Sensitivities are not created equal. Not in Islam and not at the Washington Post.

Do the American people know what is being done to their basic freedoms? I think not. Will the news channels and the opinion shows make this their breaking story? Of course not. We have surrendered America in installments. Broken, piece by piece, we feed it to an insatiable, implacable enemy. America hasn't a clue. She's like Helen Keller and someone has moved the furniture again.

Just like the Ground Zero mosque, the media aided and abetted that stealth attack on the US by their silence. People found out about that outrageous stealth attack without the media. I only pray a story like this, just as devastating, gets the attention it deserves despite the media's complicit silence. The corrupt and gutless media won't do their jobs. They have abdicated their role of public servant in the dissemination of news and instead have become sharia puppets. It is the sharia (Islamic law) not to "defame" and not to "insult" Islam. The media is self enforcing sharia.

But even that was too much for the spineless, gutless wonders. They have posted this update.

Update: Style Editor Ned Martel tells Post ombudsman Andy Alexander that he chose to pull the cartoon after conferring with Executive Editor Marcus W. Brauchli and others because "it seemed a deliberate provocation without a clear message."

"Non Sequitur," launched in 1991 by the Washington Post Writers Group, has won National Cartoonists Society division awards for Best Comic Strip and Best Comic Panel. Prior to creating "Non Sequitur," Wiley Miller was an editorial cartoonist at the Greensboro (N.C.) News & Record and the San Francisco Examiner.

[....]

Wiley's "Muhammad" comic comes in the wake of this year's "South Park" controversy over satirizing Muhammad; Seattle cartoonist Molly Norris's poster art in support of "South Park" having spawned "Everybody Draw Muhammad! Day"; and such illustrators as Norris, Lars Vilks and Kurt Westergaard having been placed on a death-threat list by Yemeni American cleric Anwar al-Aulaqi.

This is a dark day, my friends. They have no problem "offending" me and Spencer and calling us vile names (anti-Muslim, islamophobic, bigot, etc.) in their embarrassing and pathetic attempts to slake the bloodlust of their Islamic masters. How dare they surrender our freedoms and the future of our children and our nation for the comfort of their cocktail parties?

UPDATE: Wait, it gets worse. These sniveling cowards can't even own up to their gutlessness. Now they are calling it "an oversight." So censorship is now policy retroactively. Lying about it is SOP. Andrew Alexander at WaPo here:

Through an apparent oversight, the "Where's Muhammad?" cartoon was put on The Post's Web site. [Executive Editor Marcus]  Brauchli said he was unaware, adding, "Ideally, we wouldn't have done that if we withheld it from print.
