Knock me over with a feather! "Muslim-American Organizations' Anti-Radicalization Effort 'A Sham,'" from the ADL, January 11:
New York, NY, January 11, 2010 ... As the number of American Muslim extremists allegedly involved in terror plots in the U.S. and abroad continues to grow, major Muslim-American organizations have publicly acknowledged the existence of a problem in their community and vowed to tackle it head on.But the initial effort to root out radicalization - announced by a few of these groups in the wake of the arrests in Pakistan of five Muslim-American students from Virginia for allegedly attempting to join a terrorist group - has proven to be a sham and a cover for anti-Semitism and extremism, according to the Anti-Defamation League (ADL).
The Muslim American Society (MAS) and the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) held a major community convention in Chicago in December 2009 where the convention chair called for an Islam "clean and clear of all extremism."
But the convention, which had been specifically identified by MAS and the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as the venue to begin the effort to combat radicalization, failed to seriously address the problem. In fact, it provided a platform for extremist views, according to ADL. The Chicago convention, which attracted more than 1,000 participants, served as a forum for religious scholars and political activists to rail against Jews, call for the eradication of the state of Israel and accuse the United States government as waging a war against Muslims at home and abroad.
"It is shocking that this conference, identified by some major Muslim-American groups as the venue to start the process of reform at a time of growing attacks and threats by American Muslim extremists, was a sham and nothing more than a cover for the dissemination of hateful anti-American and anti-Israel views and anti-Semitism," said Abraham H. Foxman, ADL National Director. "The fact that it provided a platform for extremist views calls into question the sincerity of the effort to serve as a legitimate counterbalance to radicalization. No legitimate blueprint for change can emerge from a convention permeated by messages conveying hatred of Jews, the denial of Israel's right to exist and the idea that the U.S. is at war with Islam."...
Muslim, thy name is liar!
ADL, you should have been aware what "extreme" and "peace" means to Muslims. For example: "Twenty Imams affiliated with the Islamic Supreme Council of Canada have issued a Fatwa today declaring the attacks on Canada and the United States by any extremist will be the attack on 10 million Muslims living in North America." So nice right?
The glaringly obvious: To hell with infidels. Muslims are only against terrorism against Muslims and say so publically and clearly.
How do you expect Muslims, organized or not, to prevent or reverse what some commically call "radicalization" and others, more accurately, call heeding the texts and tenets of Islam, even if that means putting one's own self-interest aside. They aren't really interested in doing it, and they are not capable of doing it. What can they do, except play for time, and more time, hoping that they can indefinitely hide from terminally gullible non-Muslims in the West what those texts say, what those tenets demand?
How can the texts of Islam -- Qur'an, Hadith, Sira -- be changed, when the first is regarded as the immutable and uncreated word of God, the second as the written records, with tens of thousands of Hadith long ago carefully studied and winnowed, and the remaining hadith assigned different levels of authenticity based primarily on examination of its isnad-chain, and the Sira -- the biography of Muhammad, uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil, that is the Model of Conduct and the Perfect Man -- that contains so many bloodcurdling episodes and acts that horrify non-Muslims, but that Muslims find edifying and worthy of emulation, for Muhammad could never do any wrong.
It's an impossible task. In recognizing the impossibility, over the long term, of "de-radicalizing" Muslims -- that is, keeping them from acting on the beliefs that Islam's texts inculcates, we may then proceed to reality. And reality demands that Muslims be kept as weak as possible, as little capable of threatening non-Muslims as possible.
And that, in turn, requires that their revenues from oil and gas diminish, that they do not acquire or, in the case of Pakistan, cannot use, any weapons capable of inflicting severe harm on non-Muslim peoples and polities, and that their numbers in the West be steadily reduced, through an artful combination of policies, and with the completely justified and unartful halting of all further Muslim immigration into the West.
Islamic source material does not allow for moderation. Extremism is Islam. Islam is Criminal. Islam is Unconstitutional. Muhammad was immoral. Those that follow his example are criminal, immoral and violating the constitution. The Koran is loaded with hate speech. Muhammadens do not know what they are saying. They think that because they are repeating what they read and hear from the Koran, Hadiths and the biography of Muhammad that they are speaking some form of righteous speech. Any true believer of Islamic texts is lost in hate.
The only way to remove Islamic terrorism from the earth is to eliminate Islamic source material from discussions about truth.
Islamic texts are terror manuals that demonize all non-Muhammadens. This demonizing of non-Muhammadens gives Muhammedens the Allah given right to abuse and ultimately kill all non-Muhammedens.
Muhammad cut off most of his followers escape routes through reason by claiming that anything but complete obedience to him up to the point of dying for him would result in punishment in this world and the next.
Because most Muhammadens are trapped in a belief system that they are expected to fight for to the death until the entire world is a Muhammeden, non-Muhammadens must be prepared for the global civil war that we are currently in with Muhammedenism, to get more intense and wide spread.
Islam is terrorism. Islamic texts as the source of terrorism must be exposed so that the entire world can see what Islam is planning for non-Muhammadens. In the course of this exposure we must dismantle these texts and reduce them to the ficticious abuse of Judeo-Christian disputes that existed before and during Muhammads trade routes between Jews, Christians and so-called pagans.
Islam is at war with non-Muhammadens therefore non-Muhammadens or the rest of humanity are currently involved in an global civil war with all of Islam, not simply extremists or terrorists.
Obama victory took root in Kennedy-inspired Immigration Act
By Peter S. Canellos
Globe Staff / November 11, 2008
"There is no question that Obama owes a debt to the Kennedys - but it may be far greater than he or they realize. Yes, Senator Edward M. Kennedy offered a crucial early endorsement, comparing the Obama of 2008 to the Jack Kennedy of 1960. And certainly Caroline and others in the Kennedy family worked hard on the campaign trail. But the greatest Kennedy legacy to Obama isn't Ted or Caroline or Bobby Jr., but rather the Immigration Act of 1965, which created the diverse country that is already being called Obama's America.
That act is rarely mentioned when recounting the high points of 1960s liberalism, but its impact arguably rivals the Voting Rights Act, the creation of Medicare, or other legislative landmarks of the era. It transformed a nation 85 percent white in 1965 into one that's one-third minority today, and on track for a nonwhite majority by 2042.
Before the act, immigration visas were apportioned based on the demographic breakdown that existed at the time of the 1920 Census - meaning that there were few if any limits on immigrants from Western and Northern Europe, but strict quotas on those from elsewhere.
A decade later, attitudes were changing, and President Kennedy proposed a new immigration structure that would no longer be based on national origins. After Kennedy's assassination, his brother Ted took up the fight, pushing the Johnson administration to go even further than it wanted in evening the playing field. Though Lyndon Johnson, in signing the bill, tried to reassure opponents that it wouldn't do much to change the balance of immigration, its impact was dramatic.
In the 1950s, 53 percent of all immigrants were Europeans and just 6 percent were Asians; by the 1990s, just 16 percent were Europeans and 31 percent were Asians. The percentages of Latino and African immigrants also jumped significantly.
Simon Rosenberg, president of the liberal think tank NDN, formerly the New Democrat Network, calls the Immigration Act of 1965 "the most important piece of legislation that no one's ever heard of," and said it "set America on a very different demographic course than the previous 300 years."
By adding so many Asians, Latinos, and African immigrants, Rosenberg says, the act changed the racial narrative in America from one of oppression - the white-black divide dating to slavery - to one of diversity. "

From the fatwa: "In fact, the constitutions of the United States and Canada are very close to the Islamic guiding principles of human rights and freedom. There is no conflict between the Islamic values of freedom and justice and the Canadian /US values of freedom and justice."
From his mouth to Allah's ear....
also: "In many cases, Muslims have more freedom to practice Islam here in Canada and the United States than many Muslim countries."
Falls right in line with using the methodology of bringing down our miserable house by using our own laws.
Nevertheless, Abraham Foxman supports the establishment of a Muslim-terror state in Israel's heartland; sadly.
This is soooo retro-blow-back Islam. The Islamic convention starts out with announcement to root out 'extremism' in their ranks, which turns into a convention expounding 'extremism against' the Jews and US support for Israel, justifying 'extremist attacks' on both. Can 'taqiyya' get any better than this? Who said there is no fun in Islam? Do they ever listen to themselves and realize how absurd they are? It's so retro Islam... funny sick!
