Muslim Detractor Gives Obama Slam-Dunk!

Wafa Sultan, who was raised in an environment of extremist Islam but now speaks against it, has written a MUST-read that issues a slam-dunk to Barack Obama.

Her words are both an inspiration and a powerful reminder that people who live under oppression can emerge strong, articulate, and very brave.

Canada Under Free Speech Muzzle

The so-called 'human rights tribunal' in British Columbia, Canada has completed its trial of National Review columnist and political commentator Mark Steyn. Steyn has been charged with 'Islamophobia' resulting from his article that was reprinted in the Canadian magazine McLean's on the subject of the growing oppressive influence of radical Islam in Europe.

It has not been mentioned as to when we can expect a verdict to be rendered.

Human rights activists have pointed to the Steyn case as proof positive that Canada has fallen victim to totalitarianism, where free speech and other basic human rights are not respected.

If Steyn loses before the tribunal in Canada, we can kiss goodbye not only free speech but freedom of the press throughout Canada. The very fact that Steyn was hauled before a tribunal for a trial has already placed a chilling muzzle on free speech in the country.

The liberal, mainstream media has been into its typical hysteria over 'Islamophobia' in the aftermath of the trial. One prominent news organization in Canada went as far as to say that the article written by Steyn resulted in mass Islamophobia, threats of violence against Muslims, and the push to convert Muslims to Christianity. The problem is that no such thing has occurred.

One would think that the arrest and trial of a journalist over a free speech/free press issue would bring forth howls of protest from the mainstream media, no matter what political ideology they lean toward. Not so. Rather, the mainstream media has vilified Steyn as a 'rebel rouser' of sorts. Oblivious to the fact that what happens to Steyn may well directly muzzle them as well, the mainstream media seems to believe that they are safe from the long arm of progressive government totalitarianism.

Perhaps the Press in Canada should think again. It may be only Steyn now. It will be THEM next.

Canadian Totalitarianism

Canada marches toward totalitarianism as it attempts to squelch free speech. The country has already essentially robbed the citizens of their gun rights, and now it appears the speech-and-thought gestapo are alive and well, and with the power of the government behind them.

Totalitarian governments do these sorts of things, not free ones. Whether they are Communist or Nazi, totalitarianism first robs citizens of their gun rights and then goes after their freedom of speech.

The record of history is our guide.

Mark Steyn is a reporter/commentator for the U.S. political magazine, National Review, which was founded by conservative icon William F. Buckley, Jr. in the 1950s. Steyn is on trial before a so-called 'human rights tribunal' in British Columbia over a piece he wrote on the oppressive influence of Islam in Europe. The article first appeared in National Review, but the story was picked up by a Canadian publication, 'McLean's,' and now both Steyn and the magazine are in deep trouble.

The Canadian government seems to believe that Steyn is 'guilty' of the 'crime' of 'Islamophobia.'

Radical Muslim groups in Canada are responsible for the prosecution of Steyn, given that they were 'offended' by the article he wrote.

Canada has been on the downhill slide for a number of years with regard to basic human rights. Its citizens no longer have the basic right to self-defense, and its 'human rights tribunals' are going after those who exercise their free speech in being critical of things deemed to be 'politically incorrect.'

If Steyn is convicted of his heinous crime against humanity (said with tongue firmly planted in cheek), it will be literally the end of freedom of speech in Canada, thanks to the speech-and-thought police of the politically correct movement...and their supporters in radical Islam.

Car-Bomb Jihad Raises Serious Questions for U.S.

Washington, DC (TLS). The still-unfolding news story of the terrorist plot in Great Britain involving car bombs has raised serious questions for both the U.K. and the U.S.

It is still unclear as to whether or not Great Britain clearly understands the nature of the threat and its germination right under its nose as the country has sought to accommodate Muslim immigrants over the last few years.

Anytime a nation allows a flood of immigrants from regions of the Middle East that are known for radical Islam, it is opening the door to dangers yet untold. Yet it is highly doubtful that most of England can see their own culpability.

While the U.S. is not nearly as far along the continuum as England and the rest of Europe when it comes to such accommodation, we are getting there bit by bit. And this raises alarming questions concerning immigration, Homeland Security, law enforcement, and counterterrorism activity.

Counterterrorism expert Walid Phares has this in-depth analysis of the serious questions raised by the British car-bomb jihad:

Rudy Hits Grand Slam

Columbia, SC (TLS). By anyone's estimation, the decisive moment that occurred in last night's Republican debate was 'the Giuliani response' to Ron Paul. These sorts of things cannot be staged. The fact that the response was a spontaneous emotional reaction only served to lend it credibility.

Giuliani was given a golden moment to shine on an issue that is obviously very dear to his heart--the issue of terrorism and the motivations for terrorists to attack us on our own shores.

As Mayor of New York City, Giuliani dealt first-hand with this very real issue as few are ever called upon to do.

Thus, when candidate Ron Paul implied that the reason why we were attacked on 9/11 was our own fault for being involved in the Middle East in the past, Giuliani spontaneously spoke up without even being prompted or asking permission. It was not part of the script for him to respond. But he seized the moment and made it into the decisive moment.

Giuliani, visibly upset with Paul's misguided suggestion, turned righteously indignant. I would guess that 95% of Americans were right with him, feeling the same thing. Showing little tolerance for such a short-sighted point of view, Giuliani blasted Paul for implying such a thing.

And with good reason. It would be mighty convenient to blame terrorism upon past U.S. failures in foreign policy, or in our justifiable attempt to keep a powder-keg from blowing sky high. But the notion fails to take into consideration fundamentalist Islam, which maintains that the entire world must convert to Islam, or we will be considered infidels who must be killed.

The notion of convert or kill within radical Islam was not created by past U.S. foreign policy.

Giuliani thus turned the moment into a grand opportunity to seize the day and hit one out of the park. Not only did he have the facts on his side, but the gut-wrenching nature of the issue enlivened and humanized a debate, which like all debates, was sorely lacking in basic human emotion.

Thus, Giuliani was able to show America something of his soul...a glimpse into the things he holds dear. And American lives is one of them. The candidate displayed for the nation why he became known after 9/11 as 'America's Mayor.'

These moments are few and far between in debates. And when they present themselves the candidates involved are not always able, for one reason or another, to seize those moments as opportunities. Giuliani reacted spontaneously and showed the nation why he is ready to be President.

Fort Dix Six Had Been Granted 'Safe Haven' by New Jersey

Washington, DC (TLS). Word has surfaced that the Fort Dix Six, who were planning on a terrorist attack that would have killed hundreds of American soldiers, could have been easily apprehended in the state of New Jersey.

Three of the main perpetrators had a total of 34 traffic violations between them, yet they were allowed to continue driving--as illegal aliens.

Not only that, but they had been busted for carrying drug paraphernalia. Yet they were still allowed to drive around the state of New Jersey freely--as illegal aliens.

I will give you three guesses as to why these thugs were not handcuffed and hauled to jail, and the first two guesses don't count.

NEW JERSEY IS YET ANOTHER PLACE THAT GRANTS 'SAFE HAVEN' TO ILLEGAL ALIENS!

Way to go. You guys were protecting and harboring the very people who wanted to kill us.

Arrests of N.J. law enforcement officials and politicians should proceed immediately in light of this shocking revelation. They have committed felonies according to the law. And the fact that these bozos were getting ready to stage a terrorist attack on our own soil further implicates the so-called 'safe haven' proponents.

Obviously, you care more about scumbag terrorists than you do your own countrymen. Not only should you be ashamed, but you belong in prison.

CAIR CLAIMS TERROR PLOT NOT CONNECTED TO ISLAM

Washington, DC (TLS). The infamous Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) claims that the terrorist plot foiled by the FBI on Tuesday was in no way connected to Islam.

CAIR has plenty of influence in American politics with Democrats who control Congress, including helping Muslim Keith Ellison (D-MN) get elected to the House.

But CAIR is known by its detractors as a terrorist-front organization. Many point to the fact that CAIR demanded that the City of Los Angeles remove a billboard naming Osama bin Laden as a terrorist, just after 9/11, because, as CAIR put it, 'The message was offensive to Muslims.'

Here is the complete the story on CAIR's comments concerning the six MUSLIM EXTREMISTS arrested by the FBI on Tuesday:

'(CNSNews.com) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Tuesday said it was pleased that the FBI had foiled a plot to attack U.S. military bases but urged media organizations and public officials not to link the case to Islam. Six men arrested in New Jersey on suspicion of planning to attack military bases in or near New Jersey with the intention of killing service personnel are being described by officials as Islamic radicals. Four are Muslim ethnic Albanians from the former Yugoslavia, and the other two are originally from Turkey and Jordan, according to law enforcement officials. In a statement, CAIR said it was "repeat[ing] the American Muslim community's condemnation and repudiation of all those who would plan or carry out acts of terror while falsely claiming their actions have religious justification." The group also asked "media outlets and public officials [to] refrain from linking this case to the faith of Islam. The council asked mosques and Islamic institutions in New Jersey and nationwide to report any incidents of anti-Muslim backlash." CAIR said in the statement that it has issued "innumerable condemnations of terror." Critics of the organization have long noted its consistent refusal to denounce Hamas and Hizballah, two groups on the State Department's list of foreign terrorist organizations. They also point to the involvement of some individuals evidently linked to CAIR in terror-related activities. CAIR denies the accusations.'

TERRORIST PLOT IN U.S. HEARTLAND FOILED!

Washington, DC (TLS). A major terrorist operation, based out of St. Louis, Missouri, has been busted by U.S. law enforcement officials who seized massive amounts of fire power, including hand grenades and mines.

The terrorists who have been arrested were described in the local St. Louis press as 'Palestinian immigrants,' which of course is a catch-word for Muslim extremists who are Palestinian.

PBS Doesn't Want You To See This Film!

Washington, DC (TLS). The Public Broadcasting Network has planned a mammoth series of films entitled, 'America At a Crossroads,' to be aired on Sunday evenings. The eleven-part series will focus on some of the most critical issues facing America today.

One segment, however, has been pulled by the network. It is the segment that deals with radical Islam.

PBS does not want you to see this film. Executives at the government-run network insist that the reason for pulling the segment is that it was 'disjointed,' 'sloppy,' and 'lacking in a distinctive plot.'

Media watchers, however, say that there is another reason.

PBS is apparently caving to the massive Muslim propaganda machine, headed by organizations such as CAIR, that clearly does not want American citizens exposed to the facts that differentiate extremist Muslims from those moderates who practice the Muslim religion but who are pro-Democracy and anti-Jihad.

PBS thus far denies such charges, but the denials have a hollow ring to them given the fact that CAIR and other front organizations for radical Islam have pressured everyone else in the media.

It is very hard to believe that PBS has escaped such pressure.

But instead of forging ahead with their rational approach to the subject, PBS decided to can it.
