Chanting USA, USA is offensive to muslims, moslems, etc...

This is a letter that was printed in the Daily Illini, the cmapus newspaper from the University of Illinois. I will not comment too much on this as most know how I feel about this. If muslims find this offensive then they are FREE to leave the United States and take their entire families with them. While they are at it, please take the author of this letter who is not even a professor at the college. Be sure to go to the site and read some of the responses in the comments below the article. USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA!

Block-I chant portrays ‘neither patriotism nor remembrance’
By David Green, University Academic Professional
Posted: September 15th, 2010

Daily Illini: The vast majority of 9/11 observances in this country cannot be seen as politically neutral events. Implicit in their nature are the notions that lives lost at the World Trade Center are more valuable than lives lost in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine and elsewhere; that the motives of the 9/11 attackers had nothing to do with genuine grievances in the Islamic world regarding American imperialism; and that the U.S. has been justified in the subsequent killing of hundreds of thousands in so-called retaliation.


The observance at Saturday’s football game was no different. A moment of silence was followed by a military airplane flyover; in between, Block-I students chanted “USA, USA.” This was neither patriotism nor remembrance in any justifiable sense, but politicization, militarism, propaganda and bellicosity. The University is a public institution that encompasses the political views of all, not just the most (falsely) “patriotic.” Athletic planners should cease such exploitation for political purposes. They might at least consider how most Muslim students, American or otherwise, would respond to this nativist display; or better, Muslims and others that live their lives under the threat of our planes, drones and soldiers.


The overwhelmingly white, privileged, Block-I students should be ashamed of their obnoxious, fake-macho, chicken-hawk chant, while poverty-drafted members of their cohort fight and die in illegal and immoral wars for the control of oil. University administrators need to eliminate from all events such “patriotic” observances, which in this country cannot be separated from implicit justifications for state-sponsored killing.

Anyone know who took this picture on 9/11?

If anyone knows who took this picture of St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church on 9/11 before the WTC came down on it, please let me know. A very good friend and counter jihadist blogger would like to know. Thanks!

It would be an obscenity: The mosque at Ground Zero

The mosque at Ground Zero...Sigh. It is just wrong and the majority of New Yorkers get it, the rest of the United States gets it. But JINO Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the nine Dhimwits on The Landmark Preservation Commission did not get it, Obama the first muslim potus, gets it because he is a muslim and is doing all he can to pave the way for islam inside the United States. This is a horrible injustice and mark my words; this is seen as a major victory in muslim countries around the world. To have islam build a mosque near the ground where almost 3,000 people died in cold blood murder, at the the hands of muslims is one of the goals that islam seeks. This will be no community center. It will not matter if this recruitment center for terrorists, I mean mosque has an 'interfaith' prayer room, or a swimming pool. Nothing can change it for what it is planned to be, a mosque at Ground Zero. A place where one message will be delivered for us infidels. Filled with taqiyya, lies and deception, preached to fool and put us infidels 'at ease' with islam. Another service most likely filled with the hateful rhetoric that fills the mosques around the world exhorting terrorism against infidels, calls for the implementation of sharia law and the establishment of a global islamic caliphate. A place where the islamic 'zakat' of offering will be taken and a portion of that will go to fund terrorism, support 'charities' that launder the money to terrorist organizations. And like Alan Caruba who does Warning Signs states it: It would be an obsecenity. In so many, many ways.

Saying No! to a Ground Zero Mosque
By Alan Caruba

In the August 3rd edition of The Wall Street Journal, in the Greater New York section, the lead article was “9/11 Memorial Pledged as Part of Mosque Plan.”

There already is a 9/11 memorial. It is called Ground Zero and will be incorporated into whatever structure that eventually gets built on the site.

If one continued to read the story, however, you had to jump to page A21 where side-by-side with the mosque story was one titled, “Verdict in JFK Bomb Plot”, subtitled “Jury Finds Two Guilty in Conspiracy Charges for Plan to Ignite Fuel Tanks.”

The two men found guilty were Abdul Kadir and Russell Defreitas. A third defendant, Kareem Ibrahim, was ill and didn’t go to trial with them and a fourth, Abdel Nur, took a plea deal and faces up to 15 years in prison. At no time in the body of the article is there any mention that these men are Muslims though that fact was critical to their plot.

It was noted that “the men tried to get help from al Qaeda operative Adnan Shukrijumah who was recently indicted in federal court in a plot to attack the New York City subway system with suicide bombers.”

How many Muslim plots to kill thousands of New Yorkers does it take before the plotters are identified as Muslims?

The reason why there should be no mosque built where the debris and dust of the Twin Towers showered down on the very spot is obvious to any American. It would be an obscenity.

It is obscene to wish to build a mosque within sight of where 2,700 people lost their lives in an act of Islamic terrorism, an act of war, a jihad.

How this simple fact escapes the notice of Mayor Mike Bloomberg defies understanding, but this same Mayor originally thought the failed Times Square bomb could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

No, it could not be “anything”! Of the many plots hatched since 9/11, it is likely that 99.9% have been by Muslims, whether native born or immigrants.

This is not about tolerance. In New York, every Friday in several locations through the city where there are mosques that cannot accommodate all who wish to enter for prayers, the overflow fills the surrounding streets between 2 PM and 4 PM. They block traffic in ways no other group of religionists would ever be permitted. It is surreal.

There is something especially abhorrent about Mayor Bloomberg’s dazzling ignorance because as a Jew he seems to have not absorbed the lessons of history and, in particular, the Holocaust that killed six million Jews and five million Christians; nuns and priests, Lutherans, gypsies, and others swept up by the Nazi death machine.

Hannah Arendt attended the 1961 trial of Adolf Eichmann, the Nazi charged with rounding up and killing Europe’s Jews. Her book, “Eichmann and the Holocaust”, was published in 1963 and enshrined the phrase, “the banality of evil” in our modern lexicon.

For Arendt, Eichmann was a “new type of criminal, who commits his crimes under circumstances that make it well-nigh impossible for him to know or feel that he is doing wrong.” Not so new because the crimes of Islam against all who are not Islamic (and some who are thanks to the Shiite-Sunni schism) are very old and fill the headlines of today’s newspapers.

The Muslims who flew commercial airliners into the Twin Towers and the Pentagon did not think they were doing wrong. They were doing what the Koran and almost every imam with the breath to preach told them to do; they were killing infidels.

This is why a mosque within steps of Ground Zero is so inherently wrong. It says that the intended victims of Islamic domination are simply too blind to envision their fate, too fearful to confront evil, to ready to get on the next train to Auschwitz.

Mike Huckabee and Pamela Geller on the mosque at Ground Zero

These two nail it down and to the wall. The proposed mosque is an insult to all who died on 9/11, and to every American who can see through the lies and deceptions that are a daily aprt of Islam. Taqiyya and Stealth Jihad at it's worst is on stage right here. Both Huckabee and Geller are 100% correct.

Nonie Darwish: Obama's Bow to the Saudi King was just the beginning

This is a an excellent, yet extremely disturbing opinion by Nonie Darwish
on the door Obama has opened for Islam by bringing the KSM trial to the
United States. Ms. Darwish is spot on here. There is no sweeping this under
the rug, no making it out as opportunity to show the bad side of Islam as the
Obama administration is 'hoping' this trial will do. Islam will gain the
sympathy of many Americans who have been brainwashed by MSM
propaganda and years of attacks on various American institutions such as our
education system. The damages wrought by the toxic stew of honoring
diversity, multiculturalism and political correctness will be on stage for all
Americans to witness. The question is will they recognize this for what it
really is? How much Islamic poisoning of the well can America take?

"Knowingly or unknowingly, Obama has given a great gift for the New Year to the custodian of Islam, King Abdullah; a self-imposed trial by the victim nation of 9/11, a free televised propaganda machine from ground zero, to rescue mainstream Islam’s reputation. Protecting the image of Islam is one of the basic duties of Muslim leaders and the utmost obligation of every Muslim who is obliged by Islamic law to lie, cheat and kill for its sake. "



Obama, the very worst President at the very worst time. Here is a former
Muslim,  Nonie Darwish on the 911 NYC terror trials. Bear in mind that today.
a federal judge has tossed out most of the government's evidence
against a terrorism detainee.



Obama’s New Year Gift To The Saudi King
Nonie Darwish for Atlas Shrugs


"This trial will create unnecessary sympathy among the many uninformed Western citizens to Islamist fictitious ‘causes’ and finger-pointing Muslims have been taught and believed in since birth. Like the OJ Simpson trial, a good portion of Americans will be confused over glaring truths which will cause a huge set back to America’s war on terror.

Knowingly or unknowingly, Obama has given a great gift for the New Year to the custodian of Islam, King Abdullah; a self-imposed trial by the victim nation of 9/11, a free televised propaganda machine from ground zero, to rescue mainstream Islam’s reputation. Protecting the image of Islam is one of the basic duties of Muslim leaders and the utmost obligation of every Muslim who is obliged by Islamic law to lie, cheat and kill for its sake.

By holding such a trial in New York, America, intentionally or unintentionally, will be contributing to reforming Islam’s image, supporting its old ways of doing business and suppressing the brave reformation movements across the Muslim world, a true New Year’s gift to King Abdullah."

Berlin wants no part in potential 9/11 execution

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift: Germany like all of Europe, except for Belarus, has no death penaltyA legal team is going to New York to prevent the use of evidence provided by Germany in seeking a death penalty. Berlin wants to ensure that promises made by the US are kept if the suspects are found guilty.

A team of observers from the German government is going to New York to oversee the trial of five suspects accused of orchestrating the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States, the news magazine Der Spiegel reported on Saturday.

The federal trial of the suspect Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his four co-defendants was announced on November 13 by the US Justice Department. The government also asserted that it intends to seek the death penalty if the accused are found guilty.

Germany, which does not have a death penalty, provided evidence for the trial on the condition that it could not be used to support a death sentence. Several members of the al Qaeda cell that planned and executed the attacks of September 11 were previously based in the northern German city of Hamburg.

"In this case we will observe very closely that the given assurances are kept," Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger said.

However it was unclear exactly how evidence from Germany would be distinguished from evidence procured from elsewhere.

The defense lawyer for one of the accused, Ramzi Binalshibh, said that a conviction of his client would "scarcely be possible without evidence from Germany."

Will Obama and Holder agree to this?
Seems to fit right in and just the tip
of the iceberg why should not have

brought this trial to the United States.
Obama see's the Constitution as null and
void. His administration should be made
null and void.

A True memorial to the the victims of 9/11 not to the murdering scums of Islam!

A 9/11 Memorial That Honors The Victims And Not The Terrorists!

Thanks to Monkey in the Middle

Here is an inspiring memorial to
9/11 in Israel. Compare this one to
the Flight 93 Memorial that faces
Mecca and bows to Islam is other ways.
I have reported here before on Alec
Rawls exposure of the Flight 93
memeorial and controversary that

Memorial in Israel. A heartfelt thank you
to that country.





Designed by award-winning Israeli artist Eliezer Weishoff and commissioned by the Jewish National Fund-USA/Keren Kayemet L'Israel (JNF-USA/KKL), the memorial depicts the World Trade Center and Pentagon through sculpture and landscape architecture.


All of the buildings were attacked by Arab terrorists who hijacked commercial airliners and used them as suicide weapons, flying the planes directly into the structures. The two Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, New York, were completely destroyed in the conflagration that followed. The Pentagon, located in Washington D.C., was damaged but not destroyed in the simultaneous multi-site attack.

A fourth airliner, aimed at the White House, was stopped from reaching its target by passengers on the plane determined to prevent the hijackers from achieving their goal. They gave their lives to attack the terrorists in their own suicide mission that led to the downing of the plane in a field in nearby Pennsylvania.

People from nations around the world lost their lives that morning, among them a number of Jews, including Israelis. Fewer Jewish New Yorkers than usual were present in the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001, however, because many had stopped on their way to work to vote in fiercely-contested local primary elections.

The 30-foot high bronze sculpture commemorating the event and honoring the memories of the victims is composed of a waving American flag transformed into a memorial flame. The monument rests on a base of gray granite, part of which comes from the original Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in downtown Manhattan, destroyed in the mammoth airliner attack eight years ago. The sculpture, which was funded by the Bronka Stavsky Rabin Weintraub Trust, is surrounded by a circular, crater-like plaza and reflection area tiled in stone.

The Jerusalem monument is one of the first major international memorials to mark the terrible event and honor the memory of its victims -- and the only site outside of New York to recognize the names of every victim of the attack.

Memorial donor and native New Yorker Edward Blank explained that he funded the project as a means of expressing the myriad conflicting feelings he struggled with after the tragedy. "My wife died just a few days before 9/11," he said, "and then the whole world was sent reeling by the events of that day. I was looking for a meritorious way to recognize the many feelings I was having, and this memorial was the perfect fit."

U.S. Ambassador to Israel James Cunningham attended the ceremony dedicating the monument, as did U.S. Congressman Erik Paulsen, who led a delegation from the United States. They were joined by Israeli Cabinet ministers, Knesset members and many families of the victims of 9/11, as well as other distinguished guests.

KSM Trial a Boon to al Qaeda « The Enterprise Blog

This may show the global
community how 'fair' we have

prosecuting those who have
murdered Americans. This is
a move that will further weaken

military. The traitor in chief does

KSM Trial a Boon to al Qaeda


By John Yoo

November 13, 2009, 3:13 pm Trying Khalid Sheikh Mohammed in civilian court will be an intelligence bonanza for al Qaeda, tie up our courts for years on issues best left to the president and Congress, and further cripple our intelligence agencies’ efforts to fight terrorists abroad.

KSM and his co-defendants will have all of the benefits and rights that the U.S. Constitution accords those who live here, most importantly the right to demand that the government produce in open court all of the information that it has on them, and how it was obtained.

Arrested spies commonly use this right to get a better deal out of the government, which will want to avoid opening up its intelligence sources and methods on KSM, what information it got from him, and what else it knows about his fellow al Qaeda operatives.

Finding out what the U.S. intelligence agencies know about al Qaeda will be an incalculable boon to the terrorist organization, which will be able to drop plans and personnel it knows are compromised, and push harder in areas we appear to know nothing about.

Our intelligence agents and military personnel will now have to conduct their capture of the enemy—often in battlefield conditions—under all of the strictures that apply to arrests of garden-variety criminals in the United States. Knowing that al Qaeda leaders may be tried in court, our soldiers and agents will have to gather evidence at the scene of “arrest” and secure it to the standards of a civilian court, all while entering a hostile environment, protecting their own personnel, and leaving without casualties.

This is no idle prediction. All one has to do is look at what happened in the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the twentieth hijacker who was captured before 9/11 in the United States—his desire to learn how to take off but not land jetliners while at flight school tipped off the FBI. His trial never reached a single proceeding before a jury, and he tied up the court in knots for four years (the case had to go back and forth between the trial and appellate courts several times), because he too demanded that the government produce all of its intelligence on him in public. The only reason the trial ended was because Moussaoui decided to plead guilty at the last minute. KSM, his co-defendants, and their lawyers will not save the government from itself this time, and our intelligence agents and soldiers will be the ones to suffer.

Father of 9/11 Victim fights to have the CORRECT words on his Son's memeorial. I see nothing wrong by including"Murdered by Muslim Terrorists" on The memorial.

Father of 9/11 Victim Fights to Have 'Murdered by Muslim Terrorists' Inscribed on Son's Memorial - FOXNews.com
Hat tip: Bare Naked Islam

KENT, Conn. — Peter Gadiel wants everyone to remember his son, James,
who  was killed during the September 11 terrorist attacks.


And he also wants people to remember how he died: "Murdered by Muslim terrorists."

Heroes to many Muslims
in England.





For Gadiel, any tribute to his son would be woefully incomplete
without those words.

"I think it's important, because I think there's a nationwide effort to suppress
the identity of the people who were involved in the attacks,"
Gadiel told Fox News.


Eight years ago, 23-year-old James Gadiel worked for Cantor Fitzgerald on the
103rd floor of the World Trade Center. He died when a hijacked plane
crashed into the North Tower.

For years, Gadiel's hometown of Kent, Conn., has wanted to honor the
young man with a memorial plaque next to its town hall. But the tribute
has hit a snag because James' father wants to include the phrase,
"Murdered by Muslim terrorists," under his son's name.

For Peter Gadiel, it is a central fact of the Sept. 11 attacks that is often left out.

"It isn't just overlooked, it's suppressed," Gadiel said. "It's simply wrong to
 imply that people just died. The buildings didn't just collapse,
 they didn't just fall down — they were attacked by people with a
 specific identity, a specific purpose."

Town officials call the phrase too controversial for a small town memorial,
and they recently voted against erecting the plaque if Gadiel insists on the language.

"We perceive ourselves as a very warm, loving town," said Ruth Epstein, a Kent selectman
and one of two town leaders to vote the plaque down. "To disparage any one ethnic group
 is just against everything that we stand for here."

How would Ms. Epstein feel if it was one of
her children that had been killed by these
murdering scum?

Epstein noted that other Sept. 11 memorials, like the one at the Pentagon,
don't mention Muslim terrorists, and she said she does not want to alienate
 any members of her small and close-knit community.

"We have at least one Muslim family living here with children and it — it would
be just awful to have them see something like that," Epstein told Fox News.

Why? Islam never wants to take
responsibility for the horror that
is inherently found within Islam
and it's holy book, the Koran.

But for Gadiel, it's an important message that he insists be present on
 any tribute to his son.

"Muslims have to acknowledge that it was their co-religionists who committed
this act in their name," he said. "I am offended that unlike so many others,
they refuse to acknowledge that it was their people who did this."

They will never acknolwedge that it was
their fellow Muslims that did this on 9/11.
That would unheard of for Islam or most
Muslims. Islam offends me. We can rest
easy in knowing that if this memorial ever
does get bulit with such words inscribed,
CAIR and the ISNA would be right there,
ready to start litigations and threats against
the town for erecting such a truthful
memorial. Islam has never been asble to handle
the truth.

Feingold changes to Patriot Act dissed but trouble looms ahead.

Patriot Act Redo Clears Split Panel - WSJ.com

If the ACLU backs the changes proposed to
the Patriot Act by Russ Feingold, that tells me
all I need to know about such 'proposed'
changes. After researching them, forget them.
As reported in an earlier post, these changes would
cause grave harm to the 4th amendment and
seriously weaken the Patriot Act. Obama has done
enough damage. Leave the Patriot Act alone.
