ACORN Staying The Hell Out Of Houston Politics In 2009

Chris Jones — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 21:12:16 +0000

As a lifelong resident of Houston, this is music to my ears:

Fallout continues for the controversial organization The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, also known as ACORN.

The group issued a news release which apparently indicates that the group is not getting involved in Houston politics during the 2009 election season.

According to the news release, "Texas ACORN Political Action Committee has announced that it will not endorse candidates in the November 3, 2009 Houston City Election."

Ginny Goldman, Texas ACORN-State Head Organizer, also said the following in the statement: "Given the controversy surrounding the national organization and specifically offices on the East Coast, our Houston members have decided to steer clear of politics for the upcoming local elections…

It just doesn’t get much better than that. Thank you James and Hannah!

Houston To Host Terrorist Convention Again This Year

Chris Jones — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 17:14:00 +0000

Houston, Texas will once again host The Texas ~~Terrorist~~ Dawah Convention. The event is known as “the largest Islamic convention in the southwest.” The theme this year deals with “focusing on the family”, but as usual the speakers include known associates of convicted terrorists, terror supporters, and 9/11 skeptics.

In addition to the various seminars, some of them given by supporters of the most conservative brand of Sunni Islam, the event will also have a variety of carnival rides, including a petting zoo!

I think a “Focus on the Terror” theme would be far more appropriate given the current state of things around the world. What’s interesting about this year’s meeting of Islamic radicals in the U.S. is that an FBI agent will be a featured speaker. Special Agent Randall Clark who is a member of the “Cyber Crimes Task Force” will be at the convention to speak about child pornography. Not terrorism, but in fact child pornography.

Given that the Internet is a favorite recruiting tool for terrorists, lets just say it’s “odd” that child pornography is what the FBI chooses to discuss. I guess the Feds just wants everyone to be on the lookout for child porn when posting jihad videos and plotting terror attacks on message boards.

The Jawa Report has an ongoing list of expected speakers at the convention and who exactly they are:

Musa Maguire- The name may not sound familiar, but maybe you know his cousin “Sulayman”. Doesn’t ring a bell? Well maybe you’ll recognize his given name John Walker Lindh. Musa Abdun Nur Maguire is best known for his defense of his cousin’s treason fighting for the Taliban. He calls Lindh a “authentic American hero“.

To show you how screwed up our Federal government is, your tax money is subsidizing Musa: In 2004 he was the recipient of a Fulbright grant to take K-12 teachers to the Middle East. Read the post, in it Musa describes how Salafis (who are the Sunni Islamists with the same political goals as al Qaeda) cured him of his extremism and how convicted jihadist Ismail Royer should get a Fulbright and not jail time.

Imam Johari Abdul-Malik- Abdul-Malik is the number one fund raiser for the Ali Asad support committee which is trying to free convicted terrorist Ali Asad Chandia. Chandia, a Maryland school teacher, was convicted of providing material support to the Lashkar-e-Taiba terror organization and assisted Ali al-Tamimi, the spiritual leader of the Virginia Jihad Network.

He is the imam of the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque in Falls Church, Va, where convicted terrorist Ahmed Omar Abu Ali Rosa Parks of the Muslim community“. worshiped. Abu Ali has admitted to meeting with Zubayr Al-Rimi, al Qaeda’s #2 man in Saudi Arabia while studying in Mecca. Malik was outraged at Omar Abu Ali’s prosecution for plotting to kill the President of the United States and once called him the ”

Abdul Malik is most famous for his support of Hamas.

Dr. Salah As-Sawi- Vice President of the Sharia Academy, the mission of which is “to disseminate proper and authentic Islamic knowledge based on the principles of Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah”. Longtime readers know that Ahlus-Sunnah Wal-Jama’ah is what Salafists call their version of conservative Islamic law.

What they mean by it is that they are followers of “authentic” Islam, as understood by the first generation of followers of Mohammed. In other words, they want to return to a 7th century version of Islamic law. Generally you and I would call them “Wahabbis”, although they hate this term.

He is perhaps most notorious as a 9/11 skeptic and as the man who penned a counter-fatwa forbidding Muslims to join the U.S. military in any actions against the Taliban in Afghanistan. He claimed “the Jewish media” had rushed to blame Osama bin Laden for 9/11.

Siraj Wahhaj- Formerly on CAIR’s advisory board and an possibly unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Bombings. He denies he was ever on any list of unindicted co-conspirators, but bombing mastermind Sheikh Omar Abdel Rahman (the “Blind Sheikh) was a regular speaker at Wahhaj’s At-Taqwa Mosque in Brooklyn. In addition, Wahhaj was a character witness in Rahman’s behalf at his terrorism trial.

Rodney Clement Hampton-El, aka “Dr. Rashid”- an Afghan veteran (fought with the mujahideen) and the group’s “explosive expert”, was also a worshiper at Wahhaj’s mosque.

The event will be held Dec. 21-24 and The Hot Joints may live blog the event. We will post further details after a decision has been reached.

A man fatally shot his girlfriend and then killed himself as she was opening a lingerie store in a shopping mall Tuesday.

The man apparently confronted the woman as she was raising the security gate at the Body Luxuries store, according to Houston Police.

The woman was the only employee present at the store in the Greenspoint Mall. After they struggled, the man moved the woman into a back room of the store and shot her in the head.
