Stealth Jihad alert: Look for halal products to spread across the USA

This is from Creeping Sharia and is another warning shot we must hear. halal products are spreading across the country as companies see a way to tap into the muslim population to make some big bucks. To me there are NO DOUBTS that these companies do not care that they are contributing to the islamization of the United States. Halal products are another facet of sharia law and islam. halal slaughter is an inhumane way of butchering animals, especially the way it is waged upon animals in muslim countries. What is there that is not sick and twisted about islam? Nothing. It is all bad.


Following this article is an article from the Atlanta Post bragging about the spread of halal products and how 'wonderful' this will be. Maybe if you are already a brain washed follower of islam that has been rendered into a clueless, mohambot that follows islam and sharia law or has duped from birth by islam. To me halal is one more part of islam, sharia law and is stealth jihad. Read some of the comments posted at the Atlanta Post article, notice that most of the comments are by muslims and possibly my comment IF they decide to publish it. If they do I look to be heavily attacked and that is fine with me. I will post some of the 'special comments' if I get some. Atlanta Post article is pretty long but stay with it and you will see what I mean. One 'special' comment is below in red.

Maple Leaf Farms submits to sharia
Creeping Sharia

Halal Whole Duck:


Maple Leaf Farms Halal Duck is a high quality USDA Grade A all-natural, farm-raised whole bird that has been certified by Islamic Services to comply with the principles and values of the Muslim community. Available frozen from our online store.


Maple Leaf Farms whole duck comes with giblets and a neck stuffed inside.


No head, like many victims whose last words heard were Allah Akbar. Those same principles and values consider non-Muslims as “infidels” and non-Muslim lands as a “house of war.”


An unrelated piece in the Atlanta Post goes on to push Islam and halal, but one of the comments there leaves little doubt that this is just the tip of the iceberg:


"We need to ask for more than just Halal food, by demanding the suppliers and manufacturers to extend it to non-food items such as medicine, health supplement even to the most basic things – water. The tap water and drinking water must be of a Halal source, specifically its traceability to ensure compliance. As well as medicine that we consume must also be Halal compliance, not from doubtful sources – swine or carrion."

No, we need to ban muslim immigration and islam, once and for all. We need to stop calling it, considering islam a religion. It is not even close and I do not care if over one billion people call it a religion. PatriotUSA

Tapping into the muslim halal market: This is a good thing???



Cair approved candy

 Muslims being stereotyped in the United States? Yes, they are and there are reasons for this. 95% of ALL terrorist attacks around the globe are carried out by muslims. Have doubts about what I just stated? Then go to The Religion Of Peace site and you will find all the documented proof you need. The saying that not all muslims are terrorist but all terrorists are muslim is quite accurate. When you have a small majority of the muslim population that wages islamic jihad and is responsible for the vast majority of terrorist attacks then the muslim population overall will get stereotyped.


Add to this that muslims and muslim oragnizations are always suing for their 'rights' to force islam and sharia law upon the rest of the country. Cair, the muslim organization that was found guilty of contributing to terrorist groups is very guilty of these lawsuits. Our schools get sued to allow a tiny minority of muslim students to have their own prayer room and be allowed to pray when the same rights are denied Christians and Jews. How many Christians and Jews do you recall suing for the same rights lately or in the past? Or suing to have halal foods served to all the kids at school or in a prison, prayer rooms in the work place, foot baths and prayers rooms on university property, and the list goes on and on.


What about muslims that refuse to assimilate into our society, follow our laws of the land, especially our Constitution and treat us as second class citizens in our own country. We are after all, nothing more than infidels, kafirs to most muslims. This exclusiveness and aloofness really 'helps' out how we feel towards muslims and islam. I am sick of them whining about how badly they are treated here. If they would look into a mirror then they will see where much of this problem is coming from.


So yes, muslims are catching flak and heat and deserve to catch a lot more. If they do not like then they are ALWAYS FREE to leave.

U.S. Companies Urged to Tap Into $170 Billion Muslim Consumer Market
By Brittany Hutson/Atlanta Post

U.S. companies are loosing out by neglecting a rather attractive and overlooked consumer: American Muslims.


There is an estimate number of six to eight million Muslims in this country that possess an annual spending power between $170 and $200 billion. It is believed that two-thirds of Muslim households make more than $50,000 a year and a quarter earn over $100,000. Miles Young, chief executive officer of Ogilvy Mather Worldwide, an international advertising, marketing and public relations agency, said in a speech at this past December’s second annual American Muslim Consumer Conference that Muslims are the best-educated religious group in America and over 40% have bachelors’ degrees. Clearly, this is a consumer that companies cannot afford to not attract.

According to the Associated Press, corporations in Europe have long been catering to Muslim communities there. Nestle has about 20 factories with halal-certified production lines and advertises to Western Muslims through its marketing campaign called “Taste of Home.”


So why is it that companies in Europe have been able to successfully attract and retain the interest of their Muslim consumers?


Part of it has to do with Muslims in Europe having lived there for multiple generations, said Ponn Sabra, founder and owner of the online blog community for American Muslim Moms, AmericanMuslimMom.com. Also, “European Muslims are extremely strong in faith, very vocal, [and] much more confident in their practice of our faith than the majority of Muslims living in America.”


It also helps that Muslims in Europe are not stereotyped like Muslims in America, added Sabra. It’s only been recent that businesses in the U.S. have started to tap into the Muslim consumer market. McDonald’s and Wal-Mart have entered the halal arena and last August, Whole Foods began selling its first nationally distributed halal food product—frozen Indian entrees called Saffron Road. But because there is still intensified anti-Muslim feeling throughout the country, this is causing companies to worry that they will be attacked for going after this consumer.


But Muslims do not necessarily want companies to be their advocates against opposition, more so as they would appreciate that companies get to understand their values. Mohammed Abdullah, director of the 2009 Conference, said in a press release, “Muslims want to be acknowledged in mainstream media. You don’t need to change your product of show Muslims in your ads. Instead, consider advertising in a Muslim media outlet. Say Eid Mubarak or Ramadan Kareem during the holidays. The Muslim community will respond. When we see an ad we like we send it to our friends and share it with each other,” he said.

Of course, the worldwide market for Islamically permitted goods, also known as halal, is the best option for companies interested in attracting the American Muslim. The industry includes foods and seasoning that omit alcohol, pork products, cosmetics, finance and clothing. According to Young, the global halal market is worth $2.1 trillion dollars and it is growing at $500 billion dollars a year.


Muslims as entrepreneurs shouldn’t be underestimated either. For example, Tariq Farid developed and launched one of today’s successful and international companies in the floral industry that many know and love as Edible Arrangements.


“The American Muslim Consumer is extremely loyal, wealthy, educated and well-connected on and offline,” said Sabra. “Companies who jump at the opportunity have the potential for life-long happy customers who willfully recommend their products and services.”

Nine points on muslim immigartion in Europe: These problems are already here in the USA

The translation is a bit rough on this but the you will have no problems understanding the points being made in regard to muslim immigration in Europe and the problems that muslims are causing. Note that other immigrant groups ARE NOT causing problems like the muslims are causing.

Are You a Sarrazinista?
By Baron Bodissey/Gates Of Vienna

Are You a Sarrazinista?

Kitman has distilled nine points from a television presentation given by Thilo Sarrazin, the well-known Islam-critic in Germany:

Thilo Sarrazin: Nine Conclusions Regarding Muslim Immigration

1. No immigration policy, in whatever shape or form, is able to solve the key problem of our demographic development.

2. Whoever believes that problems of integration can be solved through more education alone will compel us live a lie.

3. All immigrants are not alike. So far immigrants from Eastern Europe, India, China, and Vietnam pose no integrational problems at all in their second generation.

4. All the important economic and cultural problems of integration in Europe are concentrated around immigrants from Muslim countries. The successful integration of Muslim immigrants already living among us has to be given absolute priority over further immigration from Muslim countries.
5. Muslim immigrants have a troubling tendency to form parallel societies and are almost entirely unable to intermarry with their new countrymen.

6. It is the Islamic culture which is responsible for these problems, not the ethnic background. This culture is only marginally compatible with secular Western society.

7. The problems in economic and cultural integration of immigrants from Islamic countries mean that they have an unquestionably negative impact on the host society.

8. The European welfare-state model is not free of blame. Even without any employment, basic social security benefits far exceed the income Muslim immigrants could obtain in their home country.

9. Immigrants who reject our culture, have no education, and are mostly attracted by the social benefits, and the prospect of bringing in large numbers of family relatives will cost our society dearly.


The subtitled video and an accompanying transcribed:



Full text:


I have therefore summarised my main points as follows:

1. No immigration policy, in whatever shape or form, is able to solve the key problem of our demographic development. Namely, that each generation is around one third smaller than the one that came before. And that within this declining number of children, the relative number of children stemming from uneducated households is constantly on the increase.


2. Education is very important. But education is quickly becoming a new fetish of our society, and whoever believes that these problems can be solved through more education alone will compel us to live a lie.


3. Immigrants are not simply immigrants.


Immigrants from Eastern Europe, India, China, and Vietnam pose no integrational problems at all in their second generation. By that time, these immigrants have a higher level of education and a better employment rate than do indigenous Germans. 10-11 million immigrants in Germany, and their descendants have no integrational problems in their second generation. They constitute an economic and cultural benefit to Germany.


4. All important economic and cultural problems of integration are concentrated around the 4-6 million immigrants from Muslim countries. The successful integration of Muslim immigrants already living among us has to be given absolute priority over further immigration from Muslim countries. When it comes to these immigrants, education and employment in the 2nd and 3rd generation is far below that of Germans, other immigrant groups, and their descendants.


And nothing seems to support the case for any sufficient improvements over time in this matter.


5. A troubling tendency to form parallel societies is evident. Only 3 percent of the 2nd generation of Turkish immigrants marry a German citizen, whereas 70 percent of Russian immigrants intermarry.


6. As far as I can tell, these problems are not caused by their ethnic background. It is the Islamic culture which is responsible for the problems. This culture shapes the values and lifestyle of a large part of the Muslim immigrants, and is only marginally compatible with secular Western society.


This is particularly evident in Great Britain, with the very dissimilar integration of immigrants from India on the one hand and Pakistan and Bangladesh on the other. These problems burden not just Germany, but all the European countries with a significant number of Muslim immigrants.


7. The problems in economic and cultural integration of immigrants from Islamic countries mean that the economic and societal impact of immigration from these countries is unquestionably negative to the host society.


As long as the cultural make-up of these immigrants does not undergo a fundamental change, they will create additional economic and social problems, not ease the demographic shifts.


8. The German and European welfare-state model is not free of blame. The basic social security benefits for an immigrant family in Germany far exceed any realistic appraisal of the income they could obtain in, say, eastern Turkey or Lebanon without any family member being employed. The vastly improved integration of the same immigrant groups in the US, is mainly due to the fact that they there either provide for themselves, leave the country, or never arrive in the first place.


9. The economic growth in later months and the increased demand for work has lead to a short-sighted debate about immigration policy. Is it not ironic? For the past 45 years our self-imposed demographic sinkhole draws closer. With the precision of clockwork, and the pace and weight of an iceberg. And now that this sinkhole shows itself in the labor market, everybody seems frantically astonished.


The highest birthrate in Germany, was achieved in 1965. That generation is now 45 years old. They are at the peak of their career and productivity and are now entering the so-called “declining years”. Who will assume their duties?


1.45 million 45-year-olds in Germany currently, but only 950,000 20-year olds and 600,000 one-year-olds.


Haste does not lead anywhere; reflection is demanded, and learning from our own mistakes.


Immigrants who reject our culture; have no education; are mostly attracted by the social benefits and the prospect of bringing in large numbers of family relatives… They will in the long run cost our society more than they pay into it.


Many people now want to implement a point-based system or use the American green-card model for immigrants. I am in favor of this. If Germany had had a system resembling that of Australia, New Zealand, Canada, or the US, with high barriers for the unskilled, and no social benefits for immigrants, then around 90 percent of the Muslim immigrants now living in Germany would never have come here. I would like to stress this point.

I don't care about the law: from Vlad Tepes. Death threats in England

This is from Vlad Tepes with the commentary below by Baron Boddisey from Gates Of Vienna. The warning is clear enough for us here across the pond. Unless we stop any and all muslim immigration, this is what we can expect. We are already having problems all across the United States with a very small percentage of muslims that we already have here.


From Gates Of Vienna:


The Englishman who made this video was threatened with death for filming Muslims engaging in dawah on a public street.


Many thanks to Vlad Tepes for YouTubing this video. KGS helped Vlad construct a composite of the face of the fellow who made the threat. This image may be of use to the British police — if, that is, they ever take time off from arresting “Islamophobes” and actually look for the guy:

Compassion and love that knows no bounds at the Humane Society of Central Oregon

A break from the usual here. This is a story that needs to be shared.

I am a dog person and I always will be. Having owned or being owned by several dogs over my life time I found this article in our local paper about a guy who has what I would call a most difficult job. My dogs are my best friend and my last three dogs have been extremely special. The bonds that were forged between me and these dogs, the love that was always there and is waiting for me in eternity has little to compare itself to in this life time. I have had to put these loving, faithful friends down as their lives were coming to the end. When our last dog's final act was to lick my face as she was being eased into her final sleep, as I held her in my arms, that will be with me forever. Missy's ashes are still with us as we have not had a chance to return to her favorite place yet. Many of you know what I am talking about. I am so grateful for people like this man you are about to meet.


Here is Johnny Springer and what he does at the Humane Society of Central Oregon. Can there be a more compassionate, loving, difficult job one can do? Read on and see what you think. All dogs do go to heaven. A reunion that I will be looking forward to.

Finding a purpose in pets’ passing
By Julie Johnson / The Bulletin


Johnny Springer’s job might seem like one of the worst jobs in the world. But Springer doesn’t see it that way.


Springer is the cremation services manager at the Humane Society of Central Oregon. He handles the remains of every animal that dies at the Humane Society, every animal brought in by its owners for cremation, and some that have died at local vet clinics.


About 15 formerly beloved pets per week meet their final disposition at the hands of Springer, who says goodbye, gently places their bodies in the gas-fired crematorium at the Bend animal shelter, and burns them to ashes.


I couldn’t do the job. Could you?


But Springer sees it as an honor that he can ease the passing of these animals and in so doing, provide some comfort to bereaved owners.


“It is the most difficult job here,” says Humane Society spokeswoman Lynne Ouchida, “the most difficult emotionally and physically. And emotionally, it’s the most important.”


Adopting an animal, Ouchida said, is all smiles. The emotional impact of the relationship between the pet owner and the Humane Society, though, comes at the end of an animal’s life. That’s when the nonprofit organization can offer its myriad services for dying and deceased pets.


Springer knows how important his job is. He’s seen the tear-streaked faces of people bringing their dogs in for cremation. He once sat with a woman who clutched the body of her orange cat in her arms for 45 minutes before she could let it go. He has seen countless people drive away from the shelter only to stop a few yards down the driveway, breaking down in sorrow, unable to drive on.


“Being around the animals is not the sad part — they’re not in there anymore,” Springer said. It’s the pet owners who represent the grief.


“Their world has just been shattered,” Springer said. “When they hand it to me and walk away ... it’s an intense moment. They don’t see me cry after they leave.


“All they need to hear from me is, ‘I’m going to take really good care of them.’ ”


And so he does. He gives each animal a final pat. He tells them their owners loved them.


“And at night before I shut the door, I tell them to come find me in whatever comes after, so when I pass, I’m going to be greeted by all these animals,” Springer said with a big smile. “It’s going to be phenomenal.”


Springer, 48, left a 20-year career in the TV news business to work at the Humane Society, where he’s been for five years. Now, he can’t imagine doing anything else.


“What I do matters so much,” he said. “I am acutely aware that every animal I take care of was someone’s loyal companion.”


Like Sundance, Springer’s 13-year-old golden retriever, who died Dec. 3.


“I was shattered just along with everybody else,” he said. “He was my best friend.”


Springer sketched Sundance’s life in brief stories punctuated by an occasional catch in his voice. He was crazy when Springer adopted him — “ate-a-couch crazy.” He was a loyal traveling companion on an otherwise lonely, long drive from Texas to Alaska. Once, when Springer was so sick he couldn’t get out of bed for three days, “that dog was by my side the entire time,” he said through his tears.


Grieving a pet is a tricky business. Though most people consider pets to be family members, their deaths can straddle a fine line between sadness and devastation: It’s sad, but it’s just a dog; it’s devastating because it’s never just a dog.


Which makes Springer’s job all the more important. He devotes incredible care and compassion to cremating pets with dignity — and occasionally with a favorite stick or tennis ball.


“It’s an honor,” he said. “I am the last person to ever see this animal. They had lots of love in their lives, and their deaths should be the same.”

Elisabeth’s Voice, Phase Two: We need your help!!!

I have had several posts on the trial of Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff in Austria. She has now been charged with a second charge "of “denigrating religious symbols of a recognized religious group” were being added to the existing charges. This is really absurd and those that support islam and the islamization of Europe, fueled by the those multicultural idiots who do not care if their kids frow up being forced to wear burkas and the men have beards.


"We are asking our readers for help. Not just financial help — many of our people may be tapped out by now — but also help in spreading the word. Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, like Geert Wilders, Lars Hedegaard, and all the other members of the Roster of the Silenced, are canaries in the Western coalmine. Where they walk today, hundreds and thousands of the rest of us must follow tomorrow.


Unless enough people can be awakened to what is happening in Europe, an iron curtain of silence will inevitably descend on the entire Western world.


Please give generously. The outcome of this trial will affect us, our children, and our grandchildren. We must speak up now for the values we believe in. There will be no second chance."

Elisabeth’s Voice, Phase Two

On Tuesday, January 18th, 2011, Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff faced the court in Vienna for a second time. Rather than the hoped-for verdict, the trial was adjourned until February 15th.


What happened?


On the first day of the trial last November, Elisabeth’s lawyer, Dr. Rami, had insisted on playing the incriminating tapes that had been recorded without permission during her seminar. However, due to technical reasons the court was unable to play the tapes, and the task was postponed until the most recent court session this past Tuesday.


Instead of playing the entire four hours of tape, Dr. Rami decided after the first 45 minutes that the court had heard enough to prove that there was no incitement to hatred or anything else. Rather, it was very clear that the tone and setting of the seminar was one of sober respect.


It was thus a complete surprise when the judge — not the prosecutor! — proceeded to inform Elisabeth and her lawyer that the charge of “denigrating religious symbols of a recognized religious group” were being added to the existing charges. Her lawyer immediately demanded a postponement so that the defense could prepare a new strategy.


Although the charge of “incitement to hatred” carries a higher sentence, it is more difficult to prove. The added charge, however, has now made a conviction — and thus the need for an appeal — more likely. While we know that Elisabeth will fight the charges with all possible means, we do have to consider the possibility that she may be convicted, and must prepare accordingly. This necessitates a second appeal for funds.


We are asking our readers for help. Not just financial help — many of our people may be tapped out by now — but also help in spreading the word. Elisabeth Sabaditsch-Wolff, like Geert Wilders, Lars Hedegaard, and all the other members of the Roster of the Silenced, are canaries in the Western coalmine. Where they walk today, hundreds and thousands of the rest of us must follow tomorrow.


Unless enough people can be awakened to what is happening in Europe, an iron curtain of silence will inevitably descend on the entire Western world.


Elisabeth needs your help to fight these charges and to make sure that the truth remains the truth. With that in mind, we are re-activating the Elisabeth’s Voice campaign. All of your donations will once again go to a special fund set up specifically for her defense, and will only be disbursed for legal fees, translations, and relevant books and other documentation needed to prepare the defense. Visit the Save Free Speech website to donate via PayPal, or see the bottom of this post for information about bank transfers.


Please give generously. The outcome of this trial will affect us, our children, and our grandchildren. We must speak up now for the values we believe in. There will be no second chance.


*****************************


A new wrinkle in Elisabeth’s case appeared on Tuesday evening, when the Austrian newspapers reported that she could be heard on the seminar tape saying that “Euro-Islam is s***”. This was a blatant falsehood — the tape clearly indicates that she said no such thing.


The story is that APA (Austria Press Agency) sent a young man to follow the proceedings, and he “misheard” Elisabeth say “Euro-Islam is s**”, when in fact she said “Euro-Islam is wishful thinking”. The phrases in German are Euro-Islam ist Scheiße versus Euro-Islam ist Wunschdenken, so there is obviously no possibility that the reporter confused two similar-sounding words — this was a malicious misquote.


Elisabeth’s counsel has initiated a libel suit against all newspapers that printed the falsehood. This also adds to her legal costs, but when she wins the suit, she will recoup them in the damage award.


Below is a letter to Die Presse from Dr. Maria Stückler about the newspapers’ libel against Elisabeth. Many thanks to JLH for the translation:


The Trial concerning the Islam Seminar: “The Muslim lies”


I was at the trial of Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff, but did not hear the statement : “Euro-Islam is s***.” Rather, I remember [the statement] “Euro-Islam is wishful thinking”. And the statement, “Islam is crap” only served to demonstrate how poor the situation for freedom of expression already is in Austria (as in all of Europe).


I also did not hear “the Muslim lies,” but I did hear “we are being lied to 24 hours a day,” and indeed with reference to and explanation of the principle of taqiyya, that is, legitimized lying to infidels. Countless statements attest that the representatives of Islam practice this principle: [saying] for instance, that the Koran forbids the beating of women, but in truth it commands men to do it — even on mere suspicion. Or that stoning has nothing to do with sharia, but everything to do with patriarchy, but Mohammed himself practiced it and Iran, for instance, still uses this punishment today. Or that Islam guarantees religious freedom, while in reality it provides the death penalty for apostasy. Or that Islam is peace and tolerance, but sharia declares the perpetual duty of holy war and massively discriminates against subjugated non-Muslims. Prof. Bassam Tibi (himself a Muslim) on the Christian-Islamic dialogue: “Blessed are the Deceived.”


It is not Mrs. Sabaditsch-Wolff who alleges Mohammed’s pedophilia, but the basic Islamic texts themselves: At the age of over 50, he married a nine year-old girl. And the Koran, too, in its regulations governing divorce, assumes as fact the marriage of pre-pubescent girls. Up to now, Islamic legal scholars from Morocco to Indonesia (including the NU as the largest Muslim organization in the country) have justified child marriages by reference to the example of Mohammed and to the Koran. In numerous Islamic countries, the law does not even recognize a minimum age. So if this statement represents a “derogation of religious teachings,” then one can only say: “It is Islam and its Prophet themselves that are derogating Islam and its Prophet.” Nothing demonstrates more clearly than this the relationship of Islam and common sense.


When the media spread untrue claims about critics of Islam, that then apparently falls under the category of freedom of the press. If someone states uncomfortable truths about Islam, however, it can happen that that person is accused by the media of hateful incitement.


The media should not forget that freedom of expression is the basis of freedom of the press, so much more so, as — according to “EU Framework Decision against Racism and Xenophobia” — truth is not a mitigating factor.


And the human rights organizations should not forget that without freedom of expression, all other human rights are obsolete. It is high time for them to begin fighting against the hate-speech laws, which have entered the EU by the back door.


And the politicians should be reminded that human rights are not a political instrument which they can manipulate at will. Rather, they should respect them, and not criminalize them.
