Khomeini in Dearborn

Happy Eid! LGF has photos from an anti-American, anti-Israel demonstration held by Muslims at the end of Ramadan in Dearborn, Michigan: "US Hands Off Muslim Land," etc.

But Charles points out that the most arresting image wasn't carried by Yahoo News; it comes from Getty Images (scroll down to Image #51735520), and depicts a Muslim woman carrying a large sign bearing the face of the Ayatollah Khomeini. Another Khomeini sign is in the background.

This is not a photo from Tehran, but from Michigan, November 12, 2004. I wonder if any onlooker at the demonstration saw the Khomeini sign and remembered those tense days of the hostage-taking, when Khomeini's regime held 50 Americans for month after month while Dhimmi Carter dithered. I wonder if any of the onlookers knew that Khomeini's triumph embodied the idea that Islamic law was superior to all other ways to order societies, and must be pressed forward by force. I wonder if anyone there realized that the appearance of these signs in Dearborn, Michigan, exalting this man as a hero, indicated that Khomeini's vision for society is alive in America today — and that it is dangerous to assume that all Muslims immediately and unquestioningly accept American pluralism and the idea of a state not governed by religious law. Yet that notion, however tenuous, still cannot be questioned in the mainstream media.

Those Iranians ought to know that by taking diplomats as hostages, they put themselves outside the pale of civilized humanity. They openly declared that they wish to speak to the USA only across a free fire zone.

I hope Homeland Security, FBI, and INS all have nice, long, heart-to-heart talks with that lady.

Wonder if that woman knows what her hero, the Ayatollah, thinks about sex with baby girls? Does she approve of his idea that it's okay to sodomize baby girls? Would she offer him her baby daughter for this purpose?

If one went around with a big poster of Hitler, the media would be all over it, and the carrier of the poster, as they should. But they don't focus too much on this sick psychopathic scum.

Events like this make me believe more and more these people have subversive, evil intentions on our societies. They are not "refugees" "fleeing" from oppression. They are subversives trying to spread that oppression everywhere. Hiding under the cloak of "religion", masquarading as "poor, oppressed refugees". Like white ants. Eating away at the basic structure of our society. Pukes.

I am sure that if the Nazi's were still a potent and dangerous global totalitarian movement the politicans wouldn't touch someone carrying a picture of Hilter in Dearborn. The west is falling over itself not to upset the fundi muslims of the world because they are powerful enough (i.e. they own oil fields and are western voters) that they can cause damage to the west if angered.

Go back 70 years and people would easily have got away with what this muslim woman is doing now in Dearborn. It is the same fear and the same response by government now as back then in the 30's. History repats itslef as always.

Posted by: obl r us [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 15, 2004 4:02 AM

No. The point Mr. Spencer seems to be making is that there is a very real possibility that a strong Islamist movement is gaining strength in Dearborn and indeed the rest of the country wherever a large Islamic population is establishing itself.

So while the idiots at the State Department are busy portraying Islam as a great thing (Digitalis alert for link Below), the radicals of Dearborn may not be so radical after all, perhaps they are the true face of Islam in America and this is just the beginning.

So, Andrew, do you think we will see a change of attitude, if not personnel, at the DOS during the next 4 years?

Personally, I find myself wanting another Churchill to emerge .. someone with voice and vision enough to cut to the heart of the matter not mincing words.

Andrew

Here in Australia at the celebration of the end of Eid, MR Trad the spokesperson for the Mufti of Australia said pretty much the same anti-western stuff that you would hear from Saudi Arabia. And the premier of New South Wales was next to him while he was saying this in broad daylight and infront of all the media. I know the NSW premier doesn't support his anti-western rhetoric but here in Australia, as I guess is the case in Dearborn, wherever there are large communties of muslims you DO tend to get the same anti-western speech/garbage from their leaders (e.g the western world opresses muslims in Iraq and elsewhere and commits atrocities against them etc). This is the deceiving/rhetorical speach of dictators not democrats.

This begs the question...if muslims were a majority in australia or the U.S. with their leaders behaving and speaking as they do currently, what would it be like living in such countries? What would such muslim leaders do with the executive power of the state once in power? I think the answer is obviously nasty and depressing.

I don't think the culture will change anytime soon at the DOS. The reasons for their policies are merely a reflection of American society's obsession with multiculturalism, the Trojan horse of Islamism.

What is a Khomeini acolyte doing in the United States?! There is no way this muslim pig could be loyal to both the U.S. and the Iranian Satan. Considering the crimes he committed against the U.S., she should be immediately deported for supporting an enemy of America, even if he is dead. But I forgot, it's fine to support America's enemies, encourage sedition, and recruit new traitors, especially if you're a member of a multicultural minority. They are merely exerising their right to free speech.
I am a racist for objecting to it.
Anyone who supports and publicly endorses the evil, Satanic doctrine of Khomeini does not belong in America!

BJ...Like him or not, George W. Bush is our generation's Churchill. The problem is that I'm not sure he has realized it yet. He has to stop referring to "Islam is a religion of peace" and clearly outline that the argument that Islam is as big a menace as Hitlerian National Socialism and Marxism ever were.

I'd have to assume the Muslim woman was a Shia and profoundly ignorant of the number of Iranians who have been tortured and murdered by Khomaneini and his followers, who have managed to make the Shah of Iran and his secret police look like pikers.

Posted by: waterdragon52 [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 15, 2004 11:18 AM

ALL THE more reason to send the following letter to your senator and congressman NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW.

+++++

Dear Senator XXXXX,

We both know that I don't have to tell you what America is faced with regarding Islamism and Muslim terrorism. You must be at least as knowledgeable as I am as to its aims and ultimate consequences. Because of your political office, perhaps you know even more than I, and therefore maybe you are even more afraid than I am.

In that regard, other than fear for your own personal safety at the hands of a Muslim intent on killing you for speaking up, why is it that no elected American officeholder has mentioned the separation between the United States Constitution and the book the Muslims use to guide their lives, actions and deeds, the Koran? The Koran requires Muslims to kill all non-Muslims, and in fact, terrorists themselves "say they are acting on the basis of the holy scripture of Islam. Accused 9/11 ringleader Mohammed Atta had a Koran in the suitcase he had checked for his flight. His five-page document of advice for fellow hijackers instructed them to pray, ask God for guidance, and 'continue to recite the Koran.' Osama bin Laden often quotes the Koran to motivate and convince followers. [Daniel Pipes]"

Why has no lawyer argued before the Supreme Court that Islam is not a true 'religion' in America that needs to be protected any more than the 'religions' of David Koresh or Jim Jones? Koresh and Jones were running cults. Islam is nothing more than a cult, but because it has lasted for 1400 years people give it an air of validity, and if anyone does try to explain the truth about Islam, he is murdered. It is not a religion defined the way all humans living on this planet define religions except for followers of Islam. No other religious order on Earth requires its adherents to murder, rape and behead people that will not convert to it. No other religious order on earth is killing non-members or ex-members.

The Muslim guide and rule book, their final and only authority, the Koran, is antithesis to the US Constitution, and therefore it should be argued before the Court that Islam can be and should be outlawed in the United States. All of the things the United States holds dear that are guaranteed to its citizens through the Constitution would be eliminated if Muslims were the ruling party in the United States. An organization that calls itself the largest Muslim organization in America is called the Council on American Islamic Relations (or CAIR). This organizations claims that it speaks for all Muslims living in America, and here is what the founders of CAIR have publicly stated: "Islam isn't in America to be equal to any other faiths, but to become dominant. The Koran, the Muslim book of scripture, should be the highest authority in America, and Islam the only accepted religion on Earth. [co-founder Omar Ahmad ]. How much more succinct could he have been? "... I'd like the government of the United States to be Islamic sometime in the future...[Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman]. Another of their spokesman, Ghazi Khankan, said at a rally held in Washington DC: ""I bring to you salaams and greetings from the Mujahadeen at CAIR."

Senator, allowing organizations like CAIR to conduct their activities unchecked, as is the case, is tantamount to allowing the Nazis and the Japanese free reign all over America during World War Two.

At what point will the Supreme Court declare these people, these statements, and the book the people behind these statements look upon as their Constitution as seditious, treasonous, anti-American and a threat to the United States? It should not take a qualified attorney, arguing to the highest courts in America, very long to present the case that Islam should and must be banned in America. There are very many verses in the Koran that require followers of Islam to overthrow all governments that are not Islamic; it should only take one of these verses for the Supreme Court justices to make their decision (not to mention the verses that require Muslims to make war against all people until the entire Earth is Muslim and to actually kill all who will not submit to Islam). Upon the enactment of the decree declaring that Islam is not a religion, followers of Islam could then be educated about the true aims of Islam (some Muslims aren't even aware of the ultimate goal their cult has) and given the opportunity to 'see the light' or leave the country.

The cry "freedom of religion" would not stand in this case if the truth were argued in the court that Islam is not a religion. Once it is made public, passed into law and recognized that Islam is truly not a "religion" that should be afforded protection under America's laws, it will be that much easier to protect Americans from the final goals of worldwide Jihad and Islamism. At that time, organizations like CAIR would no longer exist (at least not legally) and the pressures that are placed on the media to whitewash the truth about Islam would disappear (especially those who today are afraid to print the truth about Islam for fear of their lives. CNN and Reuters are on record recently claiming that they do not tell the truth and have not told the truth about Islam because they know that their reporters would be killed by the followers of Islam.

Mr. Senator, are you too afraid to make this case?

Looking forward to hearing back from you,
(your name and telephone number)

These two guys are Shi'ite mullahs. They have not come to America to asimilate. They are here to invite you and your family to do one of the following:

1. Become a muslim; or
2. Submit to Muslim rule as a dhimmi; or
3. Die a violent death by their hands.

There are no other options.

It turns out that the guy on the left in the above photo has been pressing the outside of the community's envelope of tolerance for quite some time:

Charges Dropped Against Imam Al-Husainy
The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) in Michigan is pleased to announce that the case of Imam Husham Al-Husainy has been resolved. According to Imam Al-Husainy’s legal representatives, a meeting took place on Monday, July 15, 2002 between the City of Dearborn’s Legal Department and Imam Al-Husainy and his legal representatives. During this meeting, the City agreed to drop all charges brought against the Imam, bringing this case to a close. Imam Al-Husainy, a local Islamic clergyman, along with two other community members, were singled out and unfairly charged with Protesting Without a Permit, as a result of their participation in a pro-peace Palestinian Rally on April 14, 2002 in the City of Dearborn. Imam Al-Husainy’s case was completely and unconditionally dismissed, and the City waived the restitution fees of both Mr. Chammout and Mr. Bijayih. Mr. Chammout and Mr. Bijayih paid $500 in fines and were placed under advisement for nine months.

In Canada one of our Leftist Socialist leaders attended a Eid ceremony and parised Arafat,this is not the first Christian politician I've witnessed kissing up to the Muslims.
One Federal Liberal attended a meeting in a Mosque by variuos faith leaders to show support
for Muslims after a suspected vandalism on a Mosque,the leaders removed their shoes and even sat on the floor as a sign of respect for the Islamic faith But after the leaders spoke about their discust for the attacks and overt intolerance,the next 10 minutes on the video had Muslim Cleric's and Imam's denouncing Jesus as the Messiah and exalting Allah as the TRUE God
and Muhammed as the last Prophet.

I emailed the Liberal Member and asked why they didn't leave when his religion was being mocked right in front of you,the reply sent to me attacked me as the racist and bigot, I was told that I was ignorant and intolerant.
They then told me to never send them emails again,this is a politician being paid through my taxes and has the nerve tell me I can't exercise my freedom to disagree with the Government.

A truely sad display of submission and it's now obvious why the Federal Government will allow Sharia-Law for all Muslims in Canada and the teaching of the Quran in our Public schools in the guise of anti-racism workshops.

This is a good letter. I just sent letters regarding immigration at the Meeehickan border and Islam to my Senators and Congressmen in Ohio.

Honestly, a national, united effort among all anti-jihad must be willing to take the time to flood the Government's phone lines and e-mails with professional letters like this one and tell them that their plans to accept Islam as a legitimate religion are dead on balls WRONG.

Posted by: USAgirl [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 15, 2004 2:10 PM

Think about this.

Muslims have congregated in significant numbers along the U.S.-Canada border FOR A PURPOSE. The purpose is to prevent cooperation between the two countries, to be able to slip back and forth across the border as they do in Afghanistan and Pakistan, and perhaps to make this ONE center for an Islamic state.

North America is a large area. Several Muslims states could be created as hubs that would joined together over time.

No time to sit back and rest on the belief that this could not happen as they have had decades to set up a scenario, stockpiles, and an army of willing jihadists that are waiting for the right moment to strike.

Posted by: Border Collie [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 15, 2004 5:01 PM

If you check out the Getty gallery, you will see one of the placards being carried says, "Vote or Die".

These are likely the same people who would happily deny Afghanis or Iraqis the right to vote by supporting the totalitarian Taliban and Baathist regimes the US has helped depose, and, apparently the brutal theocracy that has made the Shah of Iran look good.

Posted by: waterdragon52 [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 15, 2004 5:09 PM

The "Vote or Die" campaign was a Democratic Party get out the vote effort. The Muslims took up the cause because they have more loyalty to their foreign ummah than they do to the Constitution for the United States. They fear that Bush will kill more jihadis than CAIRy would. Since they lost the election, perhaps it is time for them to now just die. We would prefer of course that they do it in Afghanistan or Iraq where the United States Army, Air Force and Marine Corps have prepared a special reception in their honor.

Posted by: adela [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 15, 2004 7:48 PM


Andrew:

Just logged back on and CAIR posted a hyperlink to the video,Hooper's boys must have seen the submission as a feather in their hat
for Islam,I saw it as insulting to invite religious leaders to your place of worship
and then mock their faith in public while they respectfully adhered to the customs ofthe Mosque.
I'll get the Liberals email address and see if the video link is still there,within two days of me emailing the Liberal the website pulled the video which I believe he tipped them off about
because the Mosque was in his District.
The vandalism to the Mosque still has yet to net any arrests and the custodian was the one to call 911 at about 3:00 a.m. when he discovered the damage.
Another attack with no Muslims injured and the Mosque empty in the middle of the night,too many of these for it not to be a hoax or insurance fraud case for the money.

Watch for my update,if the video is gone I know the story date and it will be in CAIR's archives.

Posted by: ala-sux [TypeKey Profile Page] at November 15, 2004 10:01 PM


Andrew:

I tried to get the video link but only the timeline of evens are posted below,the Mosque would have a copy of the video and a request for the sake of ant-racism teaching might fool them into selling a copy.
Take note of the CAIR link with the archived
stories and see how the attacks on Jews in Toronto were posted as "Vandalism" by CAIR when they denounced it,but the Mosque damage was posted as a "Hate-Crime" to be investigated by the Police. This is the norm for CAIR to see any perceived anti-Muslim act as a Hate-Crime.

The Liberal Member of the Federal Government has his website listed below but I got the email
address for the Government site in Ottawa for all MP's in parlaiment. The Mosque vandalism included
the phrase "Jesus rules" on a wall and that was the basis for the mention of Jesus in the Quran but the tirade mocking followers of Christianity
was uncalled for and outright intolerant.
The dates are from March 2004 and that was around the anniversary of the Iraq invasion which had several protests from the "Rent-A-Mob" yahoo's and made the Mosque damage look like a ruse to gain sympathy to placate their "Victim-envy" mindset.

The Liberal will remember my email and by law must keep them as Government documents for public record,he professed to be a devout Catholic just like Kerry but sat idle and very mute when Christ was mocked as the Messiah to Christians.
I don't need him sicking the RCMP on me so I
cut off any follow-up emails to air my disdain
for his contempt towards taxpayers that fund his paycheck.

BINGO!

I searched the website a found a archive link to the video showing the gutless Politicians exalting Allah as the REAL God of all people,remember these are self-professed Christians and the Liberals had an election
planned for June 2004.
The main video's are from March 22nd to the 26th,the 12 minute clip was originally close to 22 minutes but it looks like the part where the Clerics and Imam moch Jesus was removed.

Here's the link to go with my post from above,you'll see that the first Political speaker is Mr.McTeague and without any arrests the blame is put on non-Muslims and at the end of the clip the Muslims Liberal mentions beer drinking bigots as the criminals.
Listen to the tripe spewing from the leaders,they didn't expect the support rally to be recorded,that's why I think McTeague was outraged at my email that caught him allowing Muslims to attack Christ as only a Prophet like Muhammed.

Ummagumma:


My original email was form a Cyber Cafe with
a generic Outlook express,the response came back to that PC but after forwarding it to my email address at home,later my PC imploded and had to do a F/Disk re-installation that erased all the data.
AOL purges my messages to save space and downloads were lost when the hard drive was formatted,I did forward the email to a TV host and a radio host that run a debate style format.
Not sure if the emails were archived for his record keeping,I do know the MP Liberal must archive their contacts and even his response
will be on record.


ANDREW:

Thank you for following up on my claim and viewing the video to see how powerful Muslims
are when it comes to appeasement through psychological terror and fear of being called a Islamophobe or Racist.
I wanted to send McTeague some history on CAIR's shady past with members connected to terrorist
activities or condoning suicide bombers,but his demand for me to never contact him again made it tough to point out the militant parts of CAIR.
What was so ironic in the tirade I received for the Liberal was that he attacked me as a bad example of a Christian and that nowhere in the Bible does it promote my style of hatred and bigotry. My email never mentioned my faith and I only stated I found the video while visiting CAIR's website and was shocked at his silence and acceptance of Jesus and Christians being mock during a "Solidarity rally for Tolerance".
You'll notice that the last few minutes of the
12 minute video has a Muslim Liberal stating that Islam allows revenge but Allah prefers forgiveness.
I did point out that it was nice to see he has a bigoted slant towards Christian and assumed I was one while never saying my faith,Christians are easy targets and Islamic groups have free reign to blame any vandalism on non-Muslims(Christians)
without one person being arrested to prove who did it.

He also stated that I made a mockery of the freedoms we enjoy that ww2 soldiers bought with their lives,my parents served for Canada in ww2 and they didn't do it so one day Muslims could walk in the Country and impose Islam on people
by proxy through fear,the Theo Van Gogh murder has affected the media in Canada and now it's the norm for the word "Suspected or Alleged" to be used when reporting murders by Islamists.


again thanks and I'll see if my email
was saved by the TV host I forwarded one to.
