The headline on this WND story (thanks to the Constantinopolitan Irredentist for the link) is "U.S. Muslims demand Quran probe: Leader meets with GOP senator, wants Gitmo shut down." The "leader" in question turns out to be none other than the slick and slithery Mahdi Bray, who identifies himself as "just a country Muslim from Norfolk, Virginia," and who was exposed for what he is in this piece by Jihad Watch's Hugh Fitzgerald.
The leader of a U.S. Muslim lobby group met with Republican Sen. John Warner this week to demand a full Senate investigation into alleged incidents of Quran desecration.Mahdi Bray, executive director of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, also asked the Virginia senator to support Sen. Joseph Biden, D-Del., in calling on the Bush administration to shut down the U.S. military detention center in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Bray contends the Department of Defense's denial of the May 9 Quran-in-toilet report by Newsweek, which the magazine retracted, contrasts with subsequent statements by both Defense and the White House, acknowledging various allegations.
Bray noted the White House attested to a "few isolated incidents" committed by a "few individuals" such as a soldier deliberately kicking a copy of the Quran, an interrogator stepping on a Quran, a Quran soaked in water, and in one instance, splashed with a guard's urine.
"None of the above actions are acceptable within the Muslim American community and neither have they been found to be acceptable throughout the Muslim world," Bray said. "Much needs to be done to ameliorate what has been an American image disaster within the Muslim world."
It would be helpful if Bray would indicate clearly just which actions of the global jihadists are "acceptable within the Muslim American community."
None of the above actions are acceptable within the Muslim American community and neither have they been found to be acceptable throughout the Muslim world," Bray said. "Much needs to be done to ameliorate what has been an American image disaster within the Muslim world."
Hmm - Well I need him to know, as an American, burning and ripping the flag in America is unacceptable to me; yelling "Death to America" in America is unacceptable to me; and not putting America first before your own selfish issues is unacceptable to me.
Much needs to be done to ameliorate what has been a Muslim image disaster within the American country.
How is it that there is such outrage when a supposedly missuse or handeling of the Koran occures yet the Muslim community has absolutely no respect or missgivings when they desecrate or abuse a Christian book or site. Their one way attitude is absolutely unforgiveable.
These Italian table cloth wearing jackasses have no respect or tolerance for anyone who does not submit to their OPPRESIVE religion. I for one have no problem with Gitmo. If the Koran is dropped by accident ...GET OVER IT! On the other hand I do have the respect not to treat it as a porn rag and use it as a mop on the floor.
I for one am sick of all these so called good little muslims speaking out at the unwarebted acusations of mistreatment and torture. WHERE THE HELL HAVE THEY BEEN WHEN A NONMUSLIM IS TORTURED AND BEHEADED? They speak out NOT.
Until the WMD alarm clock rings, this escalating folly will roll onward, with jellyfish legislators and lamprey eel lawyers abetting the suicide of the Constitution and America.
I'll be celebrating the Fourth of July lubricating my 2nd Amendment.
And mourning the cowardice, from top to bottom, of our nation.
Everytime I hear about this self-described "country Muslim" Bray, I get the visual if him chasing hogs around a muddy pen wearing a straw hat and bibs.
A smooth man, and a plump one, is this aw-shucks country Muslim from Norfolk, Virgina. Comical, forsooth, and with a deep faith in his own low cunning.
He must be a descendant, in spirit at least, of the Vicar of Bray who changed his principles to suit whoever was ruling at any given time.
Either him or Corporal Jones' Mad Mahdi.
Shove koran up mahdi bray's ass - then, deport him.
Ummagumma-
The worst new twist (and one that needs to be defeated) in the up-for-renewal Patriot Act is a proposal that there should be 'granted to the FBI' a power to break into people's houses or arrest them without a judge-issued warrent based on 'probable cause'.
This idea essentially nullifies the 4th Amendment (the provision against "unreasonable search and seizure").
This cannot be allowed to pass. It is untterly un-Constitutional. (The Supreme Couret has been chipping away, on its own, at the 4th Amendment for decades, and this would be a de facto death knell.)
This protection needs to be strong and inviolate- unless "War" is declared (and it has not), wherein extraordinary circumstances give the president unique temporary powers.
(Lincoln suspended the need for a 'writ of habeas corpus' for the duration of the Civil War... meaning a person in rebellion could be imprisoned, and no judge could demand that they should brought to appear in court to face their accuser.)
All U.S. posters at JW/DW should contact their representatives to insist that this provision be dropped. A judge must be consulted, beforehand, to issue writs, or we are under a FBI-ocracy, and not a Constitutional government.
Unless they declare martial law.
And that will mean that something catastrophic has hit us, which will change everything.
Until the threat is defeated.
Then the laws would revert to their present state.
