Basketball jihad. But of course, he didn't know. No one ever does. "Olajuwon's mosque donated money to alleged terror fronts," from AP, with thanks to all who sent this in:
Washington — A mosque established and funded by basketball star Hakeem Olajuwon gave more than $80,000 to charities the government later determined to be fronts for the terror groups al-Qaeda and Hamas, according to financial records obtained by The Associated Press.Olajuwon told the AP he had not known of any links to terrorism when the donations were made, prior to the government's crackdown on the groups, and would not have given the money if he had known.
"There is no way you can go back in time," Olajuwon said in a telephone interview from Jordan, where he is studying Arabic. "After the fact, now they have the list of organizations that are banned by the government."
A Treasury Department spokeswoman, Molly Millerwise, declined to discuss Olajuwon's contributions but said, "In many cases donors are being unwittingly misled by the charities."
He has read his (not) holy book, he has heard the sermons that are preached from the podium of his mosque, if the koran is read, even without commentary, he knows the score.
"After the fact, now they have the list of organizations that are banned by the government."
Nice choice of words.. what if they weren't banned.. but just sending money to terrorists.. as long as it was legal at the time.. (you can't go back..)
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and believe he didn't know. A dumb jock, and a convert to Islam. Any stories I've read about converts have left me unimpressed with their intelligence. Perfect fodder for these "charities" to latch onto. And with him being famous, black and rich, he's a prime target for some taqiyya-artist. I'm sure they use taqiyya on their own, not just non-Muslims, if it's to advance Islam.
He's got four daughters - poor girls.
The way it's going with these so-called "charities" we keep hearing about , the authorities should just assume they're all terrorist-funding organizations. Might save them some time to just list the valid charities, as I'm sure there probably aren't that many. Not as many as the other side of the list.
It would be interesting to know what that mosque is disseminating now.
Wonder what his view about all this is. Being in Jordan studying arabic would he condone the teachings.
While CAIR harps about the FOX 24 show unfairly casting Muslims and sympathetic to Al-Qeada or terrorism,check out the news update about the Canadian Al-Qaeda family that praised Osama Bin laden and were happy when thousands of non-Muslims were murdered by Muslims in the WTC attack on 9/11 .
Get out your cry-towel for this one folks,the Mother of the Khadr son that killed a U.S. medic with a granade in Afghanistan is now in tears over the alleged treatment of her little-boy in Gitmo prison. The Khadr family is also suing the Canadian Governemnt to add insult to injury and this seems to be the new practice for Muslims to raise funds for terrorism without a paper trail
to Islamic charities or Mosques.
The mother is part of the "Widow Maker" death cult started by Muhammed and backed by the ever-so loving Allah. The media and Canadians in general are showing little concern for her feelings since 24 Canadians were also slaughtered on that day in 2001 and she praised the hijackers.

US Pro-basketball and Islamic terrorism apparently go together...
Maybe..."Slay the infidels everywhere" is a SLAM DUNK!!!!!!
And to top it off, one of CAIR's leaders' last names is Hooper! ('Hoop'-er). Something psychic is going on with this, I tell you.
ala-sux:
Good links!
My favorite quote "My father had always wished that he would be killed… he would be killed for the sake of Allah. I remember when we were very young he would say, if you guys love me, pray for me that I get jihaded, which is killed."
First off, this finally clears up some confusion I was having: I was under the impression that jihad was a peaceful internal spiritual struggle. What a naive dumbass I was!
Secondly, I am glad Khadr got his wish. Probably at the hand of some muzzies no less!
Peace
St James.
God Bless the brave coalition soldiers who are sending these Jihadi f#cktards to hell.
Yes, thanks, ala-sux, for the links. One part of me thinks that the Canadian media should stop giving those scumbags attention because they really are vomit-inducing. But then the other part of me says it's good to expose the absolute lunacy & bile of Islam. The truth of Islam and jihad, to balance out all the rubbish about Islam being a religion of peace and other B.S. I know most Canadians are revolted by the Khadrs, especially those two braindead, disgusting women. But it's good for them to see what they're dealing with. The loathing for Canadian society, the parasitic & ungrateful attitude to hardworking Canadian taxpayers.
Note to this native of Lagos, Nigeria:
Read, and re-read, the Ahiara Declaration of Col. Ojukwu, the leader of Free Biafra, on June 1, 1969. Read, in particular, his remarks about the "Jihad" against the Ibo and other Christians in southern Nigeria. Find out about that war, and about the role of Arab money, and of Egyptian pilots, who mercilessly strafed and bombed thousands of Ibo villages, and killed tens of thousands -- for them, it was just fine, some more black kuffar to kill.
And then he might consider the more than a thousand years of the Arab trade in black slaves, that began earlier, and ended later (where it ended at all, for it continues in the Sudan, Mali, Mauritania, and rumor has it, deep within Saudi Arabia as well), and was far more damaging to Africa than the Atlantic Slave Trade, given that the Arabs specialized in seizing young African boys whom they castrated on the spot and then forcibly marched to the slave markets of North Africa and Arabia (often via dhow to Muscat from holding-pens in Pemba and Zanzibar), which caused 90% of them to die on the way.
Something for Akeem Olajuwon to consider.
But perhaps he is beyond thinking about such matters. His loyalty may be to that grim faith, "Islam" and to the umma al-islamiyya which has damaged black Africa in the same way that it damaged Hindustan.
The ability of the Arabs and Muslims to present Islam -- music-and-art-hating Islam, Islam that to this day recognizes,and has approved, of slavery (for it is in the Qur'an, and the words of the Qur'an cannot be undone, and is sanctioned in Hadith and Sira as well)--as a vehicle of protest against the "white European world" is remarkable, considering the historical record.
Islam now threatens black Christians all over Africa. In the Sudan, they are being massacred. In Ethiopia, where a Christian kingdom has withstood Islam (and was helped by the legend that some of Muhammad's Companions had found refuge in Ethiopia, and so it was largely exempt from Muslim Da'wa and military conquest -- but those days are over), both Egypt's bullying over the possible diversion by Ethiopia of the headwaters of the Nile for irrigation projects, and the steady and deliberate increase in the Muslim population, threatens Christians in Ethiopia. It is the same in Kenya and Tanzania. On the west coast, where in 1804 a Jihad was declared, a new Jihad steadily presses against the Christians -- and the Muslims have found an ally in corrupt France, and corrupt Chirac, who has prevented the Christians of the Ivory Coast from attempting to deal with an influx of foreign Muslims who insist on remaining where, of course, they can, if granted citizenship, swamp the native ivoirians. It is Laurent Gbagbo who should be supported, against the shallow machiavellianism of France that curries favor only with Muslims, and is willing to throw Christian Africans to the wolves, just as it is Israel -- to buy time, but time to do what? Time to "integrate" the Muslim masses who have stupidly been allowed into France in the first place, there to overbreed and spread Da'wa?
Thanks,here's two more links to articles on terrorism family's in Canada.
BTW,CAIR-Canada has rushed to the defense of these Muslims and did the usual cries or "Islamophobia" and "Racism",sadly,CAIR's website has yet to post a update on the "Proof"
and an apology to Canadians for calling all non-Muslims "Racists" before any evidence to back up the allegations.
Below is the link to the London England plot for a mass murder with a large amount of explosive
fertilizer discovered in a Public-Storage garage rented by the terror-cell.The other link is the original rant by Khwaja's brother denying any terror link and portraying their family as victims of a post-911 era.

I just found a update on Khawaja's case and the media seems to have other things to do,the article now shows Khawaja's lawyer drops the bid for bail which CAIR was also demanding since people are innocent before proven guilty.

Here's a CAIR notice posted on their site.
http://www.caircan.ca/itn_more.php?id=P903_0_2_0_C
And for a good laugh here's CAIR's reaction to the arrests with a "Ottawa raid kit" that is part of their "Know your right" kits that teach Muslims that they don't have to assist Police in terrorism cases.

P.S.
The Khawaja brother was shocked when the RCMP found 10,000 dollars in cash stuffed between
Momin bed mattresses,the come back to the information was that his brother was starting up a business as that's what the money was for.
Oh,and pay no attention to those weapons under the bed,they were for security against Islamophobes attacking their home.
Hey ala-suxs, that Kahdr like most of these followers of the ideology of evil sure had a lot of offspring. The sooner the more of these are sent to paradise, the better. They can either live for evil or die for evil. The latter is preferable.
here in the uk, these" know your rights" letters went out to every muslim also .i think there is an international conspiricy going on here ,probably linked to ,islamic brotherhood,or in conjunction with hizbolah jihadist attacking from outside,and subversants from inside,ie conferance 1989 in kartoum sudan attendeed by bin ladden and all of these organisations calling for such two pronged attack,
Thanks for that Ala sux!
again: nothing new, same muzzie-song and dance: "Allah is with us and we shall overcome...."
Just wonder why they fuzz around in Gitmo? Why are these guys not put against the wall and shot?
What is the purpose of keeping them alive and employing every shyster in the US and Canada (and Australia & England) to dance the "compensation polka?"
They want to die for the Jihad and we should do our best to help them along the way. No need to keep them away from the perpetual orgy in the sky with the 72 virgins...
And yes, highlander: They are able to bring on a demonstration of several hundred muzzies at the drop of a hat, charged and agitated, well informed about their rights! That's what they do, they do little else, and it is no question that it is a conspiracy. Like I said before: This is a subversive cult and will stop at nothing to subject us to their terror.
unicorns6200,
Especially before they reproduce.
I bet MMK holds dual citizenship. I suggest that, if he does, revoke his canadian citizenship, and deport him and the rest of his family.
Hakeem is not a convert to Islam. He was born into the horrid "religion." Nigeria is 50% muslim afterall.
Regarding Omar Khadr and his mother's and grandmother's teary pleas on his behalf...
Last winter, around when his older brother returned to Canada, a psychologist asked that charges of child abuse be brought against his dear mamma, who said that the reason that she and her late terrorist husband removed the family to Afghanistan was so they wouldn't grow up to be homosexuals, etc., had they continued to live in Canada. Still they returned to Canada and demanded all sorts of things from the umpteenth replacement of Canadian passports (denied) to medical care at the expense of the government plan although they had lost their eligiblity having been out of the country for more than six months.
According to reports in today's Globe & Mail, newly released government records suggest that his complaints of torture are coached fabrications (and deemed typical conduct for detainees)and that while Omar is pretty thoroughly screwed in the head, this was not the result of anything that happened in Guantanamo, but rather the "nurturing" received from his family, granny included, "associates" in Afghanistan and fellow detainees in Gitmo.
Hugh:
Nice comment - can you recomend any references to the Arab slave trade? I would like to do read up on that topic - it never seems to be discussed in the western media.
Thanks in advance.

Is Hakeem in Jordan to study Arab? Why didn't he go to Saudi Arabia to study the language?
He is from all reports I read, a "real" Muslim, a "good" Muslim. ie. he doesn't drink, doesn't let his wife enter their house through the front door! I read an article about how his wife could only enter their house through the back door.
It makes me wonder, is studying Arabic in Jordan part of being a good Muslim also?
Just another update on the Maher Arar case
where he claimed he was deported to Syria and tortured for over a year.
First off he was sent to Jordan(but CAIR uses Syria for dramatic effects)and not Syria as he claims,next he has produced no evidence of torture and since he read a scripted press release with his lwayer just weeks after returning to Canada I doubt he suffered any abuse since "Real" abuse needs extendsive counseling
just to review the events before even going public.
Oddly enough his free-lawyer while on welfare coached him and had filed a 400,000,000 dollar lawsuit against Canadians for his torture in Syria,CAIR failed to mention Arar fled Syria
for canada but still held dual citizenship and
had toured the middle east before returning to New York without his wife and children that were with him originally.
His wife had the nerve to run in the Federal Election last year and played the victim of Islamophobia,she ran for office while Maher was suing Canadians and the public wasn't told that upfront since she used another last name that distanced her from the husband.
CAIR has back another Muslims lawsuit against Canadians because the man was caught videoing our CN Tower that's the main transmission structure,and to boot he was filming one of our busiest Train Stations where four trains can be in the station at once. He filmed a few exteriors
of Subway Station and extensive interior angles,oh,and it was a Arab speaking passenger that reported the man since they saw the camera hidden inside a tote bag while he whispered to a man near by in Arabic to move around to block
the view of him from people on the platform.
The Muslim man is suing for 1.5 million dollars for damages and racial profiling that lead to the arrest in Egypt and his questioning upon return to Canada.
He said the video was for his kids in an Islamic school in Egypt since he sent them there from Canada to be educated by Muslims and they missed canada and wanted pictures.
I guess Postcards weren't good enough since they don't show a terrorist the whole area to be bombed.
mike, the full article says he became a Muslim during his professional career.
Maybe after he learns Arabic he can read for himself what his precious "Prophet" thinks of black men like Hakeem. From what I've learned, they're not viewed very well in Islam, and then we've only to look at history to see how Islam treats people with dark skin. I'm sure that is left out of the proselytizing they do when they target black converts. But it always amazes me that they stay Muslim. Do they never find out? Or are they too afraid to leave, given Islam's hostility and vitriole towards those who abandon the cult?
He was raised a muslim and is devout.
http://www.beliefnet.com/story/55/story_5556_1.html
time to boycott the team he plays for...
I thought basketball was haram...
its a western thing.....or did Allah say its ok?
Islam permits participation in competitive sports?
This is news to me. Not.
This guy should be deported to Nigeria.
Two places to begin with the Arab slave trade:
1) in Black Africa: Jan Hogedorn, "The Hideous Trade" and J. Willis, both mentioned in a previous posting (simply google "jihadwatch" and "Hogedorn"). Because the Arabs took young black Africans, and castrated them on the spot (rather than castrating them once they had reached the Muslim slave markets), a very large number of them died, after the operation, under primitive conditions, or being force-marched to those markets far away. Only about 10% of those castrated survived to be sold as slaves. Tens of millions of black Africans, far more than were taken in the Atlantic Slave Trade, were tkaen over the centuries by Arab slavers. This continued until the British suppressed the slave trade in East Africa (and the French in North Africa). But though slavery officially has been abolished, Arab Muslims in Sudan, Mali, and Mauritania are known to keep black Africans as slaves, and in Saudi Arabia itself, advertisments about swapping "Indian or other Asian girls" for "late model cars" indicate that slavery continues.
2) in Europe: "White Gold," a book by Giles Milton about the one million European slaves taken by Arab slavers over the centuries, brought back to dar al-Islam, enslaved, and converted.
Slavery is in the Qur'an and Hadith. Muhammad owned slaves. Therefore, slavery can never be regarded as wrong, even if it is politic to formally outlaw it. The Saudi clerics who recently insisted that slavery was part of the Shari'a, and could not be done away with, had Islamic teachings squarely on his side. One waits for some comment from Al-Azhar, or al-Qaradawi, or other clerics, to firmly declare that slavery is no longer to be tolerated.
That would be a small sign that some changes are afoot. That not even slavery can be denounced shows what the problem with Islam is all about -- even those who know what should be denounced cannot bring themselves to do it. Fear, filial piety, not wishing to provide any fodder for the hated Infidels by revealing that Islam has, until now, sanctioned slavery, may all explain the silence. There is no Muslim Wilberforce. No Muslim has ever denounced slavery as a moral wrong, in the history of Islam.
