3 Islamist Protesters Shot at Afghanistan Rally Against Koran Burning
Posted by Jim Hoft on Friday, September 10, 2010, 5:36 AM
Three protesters demonstrating against plans by a Florida pastor to burn copies of the Koran were shot outside a Nato base in Afghanistan today.
Sky News reported on the controversy:
Here’s more on the protest:
A government spokesman in the Afghan province of Badakhshan said a crowd of protesters had hurled rocks at a Nato base run by German troops.
The spokesman, Amin Sohail, said soldiers opened fire and killed one protester. It was later reported that three protesters had been shot, and a total of 11 people wounded.
But Badakhshan police chief General Agha Noor Kemtuz said initial reports that one person was killed had proved false.

You see… Islamophobia is just that. In reality we have nothing to fear from Islam but fear itself. Muslims will always tell you when you are offending them, and give you every opportunity to submit your ways to their will before killing you. That is absolute compassion and loving peace.

Spawn of SDS Promote 9/11
‘Emergency Mobilization Against Racism and Anti-Islamic Bigotry’
[Wonder who the event endorsers are?
# CODEPink, of course. What would an anti-American Marxist “rally” be without the Pinkers?
# The Marxist Freedom Road Socialist Organization which has been trying to create a Marxist-Leninist utopia in the U.S. since 1985, although FRSO claims its “roots lie in the upsurges of the ’60s.”
# Workers World Party.
# World Can’t Wait founded in 2005 by SDSer Clark Kissinger, the “longtime leader of the Revolutionary Communist Party.” WCW is a campus-focused “direct action movement,” meaning it “encourages the harassment and intimidation of anyone opposed to its extremist sensibilities, especially conservatives.”
Individual endorsers include usual suspects:
# Ramsey Clark, founder of the International Action Center, which is staffed by members of the Workers World Party, the “Marxist-Leninist vanguard” that is promoting the rally.
# Cynthia McKinney, the former U.S. Congresswoman and former member of both the Progressive and Black caucuses who, among other things, took “large political campaign contributions from Muslim advocacy groups such as the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee”; accepted support from Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan; used New Black Panther Party personnel as security guards; and, in 2008, joined the Free Gaza Movement and has been involved with the Gaza flotilla.]

Social Engineering Bill In Senate Will Force You Into City
[A social engineering bill to restrict residence in the suburbs and rural areas and force Americans into city centers has passed the United States Senate Banking Committee and is on the fast track to passage in the Senate.
The bill is called the Livable Communities Act (SB 1619) and it was introduced by corruptocrat outgoing Senator Christopher Dodd (D-Conn.). It seeks to fulfill the United Nation’s plan Agenda 21, adopted at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and signed onto by “New World Order” President George H.W. Bush.
This bill is designed to destroy your community. According to the non-profit American Policy Center the bill:
* Is a blueprint for the transformation of our society into total Federal control.
* Will enforce Federal Sustainable Development zoning and control of local communities.
* Will create a massive new “development” bureaucracy.
* Will drive up the cost of energy to heat and cool your home.
* Will drive up the cost of gasoline as a way to get you out of your car.
* Will force you to spend thousands of dollars on your home in order to comply.]

Things I wonder:
1. How does an odd pastor in FL with 50 people in his congregation get so much international attention–even in remote Pakistani villages? Those Paki villages are really tuned into their satellite TV packages aren’t they?
2. Remember the real issues here in the US. Where are the jobs? Where’s the $1.5 Trillion in stimulus money? Where did it go?
3. What happened to criminal and ethics charges against Charlie Rangel? Where is CR?
4. Burn a koran and muslims will burn a US flag. Why not burn a Bible in response? Islam is more of a political system than it is a religion. But it is both–and it is inseparable. Therefore it is incompatible with the US Constitution.
5. Where is the sensitivity from the muslim world for US culture? Where? Where is the tolerance?
6. Do the Paki rioters watching Paster odd-man know that Angelie Jolie is in Paki trying to help them?
Chippy commented:
Well, it looks like muslims can have the right to protest over there.
When will the executive branch here in America get rid of the first amendment?
The American people have been labeled the “kooks” and the muslims outsiders have been labeled the victims. As long as this narrative keeps going on where screwed.
tarpon commented:
It’s probably best not to attack a western military base in a war zone, protest or not. What do Muslims not understand about attacking?

Islam center’s eerie echo of ancient terror
by Amir Taheri
[In fact, the proposed structure is known in Islamic history as a rabat -- literally a connector. The first rabat appeared at the time of the Prophet.
The Prophet imposed his rule on parts of Arabia through a series of ghazvas, or razzias (the origin of the English word "raid"). The ghazva was designed to terrorize the infidels, convince them that their civilization was doomed and force them to submit to Islamic rule. Those who participated in the ghazva were known as the ghazis, or raiders.
After each ghazva, the Prophet ordered the creation of a rabat -- or a point of contact at the heart of the infidel territory raided. The rabat consisted of an area for prayer, a section for the raiders to eat and rest and facilities to train and prepare for future razzias. Later Muslim rulers used the tactic of ghazva to conquer territory in the Persian and Byzantine empires. After each raid, they built a rabat to prepare for the next razzia.
It is no coincidence that Islamists routinely use the term ghazva to describe the 9/11 attacks against New York and Washington. The terrorists who carried out the attack are referred to as ghazis or shahids (martyrs).
Thus, building a rabat close to Ground Zero would be in accordance with a tradition started by the Prophet. To all those who believe and hope that the 9/11 ghazva would lead to the destruction of the American "Great Satan," this would be of great symbolic value.
Faced with the anger of New Yorkers, the promoters of the project have started calling it the Cordoba House, echoing President Obama's assertion that it would be used to propagate "moderate" Islam.
The argument is that Cordoba, in southern Spain, was a city where followers of Islam, Christianity
and Judaism lived together in peace and produced literature and philosophy.
In fact, Cordoba's history is full of stories of oppression and massacre, prompted by religious fanaticism. It is true that the Muslim rulers of Cordoba didn't force their Christian and Jewish subjects to accept Islam. However, non-Muslims could keep their faith and enjoy state protection only as dhimmis (bonded ones) by paying a poll tax in a system of religious apartheid.
If whatever peace and harmony that is supposed to have existed in Cordoba were the fruit of "Muslim rule," the subtext is that the United States would enjoy similar peace and harmony under Islamic rule.
A rabat in the heart of Manhattan would be of great symbolic value to those who want a high-profile, "in your face" projection of Islam in the infidel West.]

Questions for Imam Rauf From an American Muslim
He may not appear to the untrained eye to be an Islamist, but by making Ground Zero an Islamic rather than an American issue he shows his true allegiance.
by Dr. M. Zuhdi Jasser
[Imam Rauf and his supporters are clearly more interested in making a political statement in relation to Islam than in the mosque's potential for causing community division and pain to those who lost loved ones on 9/11. That division is already bitterly obvious.
As someone who has been involved in building mosques around the country, and who has dealt with his fair share of unjustified opposition, I ask of Imam Rauf and all his supporters, "Where is your sense of fairness and common decency?" In relation to Ground Zero, I am an American first, a Muslim second, just as I would be at Concord, Gettysburg, Normandy Beach, Pearl Harbor or any other battlefield where my fellow countrymen lost their lives.
I must ask Imam Rauf: For what do you stand—what's best for Americans overall, or for what you think is best for Islam? What have you said and argued to Muslim-majority nations to address their need for reform? You have said that Islam does not need reform, despite the stoning of women in Muslim countries, death sentences for apostates, and oppression of reformist Muslims and non-Muslims.
You now lecture Americans that WTC mosque protests are "politically motivated" and "go against the American principle of church and state." Yet you ignore the wide global prevalence of far more dangerous theo-political groups like the Muslim Brotherhood and all of its violent
and nonviolent offshoots.
In your book, "What's Right With Islam," you cite the Brotherhood's radical longtime spiritual leader Imam Yusuf Qaradawi as a "moderate." Reformist American Muslims are not afraid to name Mr. Qaradawi and his ilk as radical. We Muslims should first separate mosque and state before lecturing Americans about church and state.
Imam, tell me if you can look into the eyes of children who lost a parent on 9/11 and convince them that this immodest Islamic center benefits them. How will it in any way aid counterterrorism efforts or keep one American any safer? You willfully ignore what American Muslims most need—an open call for reformation that unravels the bigoted and shoddy framework of political Islam and separates mosque and state.
There are certainly those who are prejudiced against Muslims and who are against mosques being built anywhere, and even a few who wish to burn the Quran. But most voices in this case have been very clear that for every American freedom of religion is a right, but that it is not right to make one's religion a global political statement with a towering Islamic edifice that casts a shadow over the memorials of Ground Zero.
As an American Muslim, I look at that pit of devastation and contemplate the thousands of lives undone there within seconds. I pray for the ongoing strength to fight the fanatics who did this, and who continue their war against my country with both overt violence and covert strategies that
aim to undo the very freedoms for which so many have fought and died.
Imam Rauf may not appear to the untrained eye to be an Islamist, but by making Ground Zero an Islamic rather than an American issue, and by failing to firmly condemn terrorist groups like Hamas, he shows his true allegiance.
Islamists in "moderate" disguise are still Islamists. In their own more subtle ways, the WTC mosque organizers end up serving the same aims
of the separatist and supremacist wings of political Islam. In this epic struggle of the 21st century, we cannot afford to ignore the continuum between nonviolent political Islam and the militancy it ultimately fuels among the jihadists.]

9/11 first responder files suit against Ground Zero mosque developers
[A Sept. 11 first responder filed a $350 million suit against the developers of a proposed cultural center and mosque near Ground Zero, calling it a "nuisance," "a terror risk" and "an assault."
The strongly worded suit, which was brought by a former volunteer firefighter from Westchester named Vincent Forras. who helped at the Trade Center site after 9/11, with the assistance of the conservative group Freedom Watch. It charges developer Feisal Abdul Rauf and Park 51, the organization behind the mosque, "are the front persons and in charge of operations for interests tied to terrorism," and "are believers in radical Islam and its jihad against America and American interests."]
