Attorney General Eric Holder Panders To Muslim Groups
Hat tip to Michelle for staying on this story. Attorney General Eric Holder flew to Detroit last night to pander to Muslim groups and assure them that the DOJ is committed to upholding their rights. He promised their would be no “profiling” of Arab Americans in light of the Fort Hood shooting, etc.
Reaching out to Arab Americans and Muslims, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a Detroit speech Thursday night that their full rights must be protected as the country battles security threats.
“This is not blind adherence to political correctness,” Holder told hundreds at the Detroit Marriott in the Renaissance Center. “It is devotion to our founding documents.”
He said that it’s vital that all ethnic and religious groups in America be treated equally. He also said racial profiling was bad policy that breeds mistrust and division.
“For the last nine months, I’ve heard from Muslim and Arab Americans who feel uneasy about their relationship with their government, who feel isolated and discriminated against by law enforcement,” Holder said. “It is inconsistent with what America is all about.”
…Holder spoke at the banquet of Advocates and Leaders for Police and Community Trust, which consists of about 100 minority groups and law enforcement officials in metro Detroit.
I’ll tell you what “breeds mistrust and division”, it’s having to worry if the Muslim soldier next you secretly wants to kill you.
Moreover, I don’t really give a damn if Muslims feel “uneasy” about their relationship with their government. I feel “uneasy” about them.
Muslim “Americans” have given us no reason to trust them. Their condemnation of Islamic terror has been consistently tepid ever since 9/11, and has remained so even after a U.S. soldier gunned down more than 50 people in the name of their God.
The notion that we shouldn’t “profile” is absurd. If you’re an Arab and you’re in this country you should get a little extra scrutiny. If it were the Irish who were trying to kill us or the Vietnamese I would feel exactly the same way.
It gives me no pleasure to feel this way, but lives are at stake and it’s important that we stop with the BS and be honest about what is going on.
When I see Muslim Americans take to the streets and protest the atrocities committed around the world in the name of their religion, then I may feel differently.
Unfortunately, it’s unlikely anything like that will ever happen. See, I’ve actually read the Koran and believe it or not the terrorists are right about what it says. Which is why I don’t buy into the premise that Islam is a “religion of peace.”
I know I’ll get a torrent of outraged emails calling me a racist and bigot and all the rest, and that’s absolutely fine. I stand by every word.
Obama: Don’t Jump To Conclusions On Shooting
From the AP:
President Barack Obama said Friday the entire nation is grieving for those slain at Fort Hood, and he urged people not to jump to conclusions while law enforcement officers investigate the shootings.
Obama met Friday morning with FBI Director Robert Mueller and other federal leaders to get an update on what they’ve learned. Thirteen people were killed and 30 others injured in the shooting rampage at the Texas Army post on Thursday. The suspected shooter is an Army psychiatrist; his motive remains unclear.
"We don’t know all the answers yet. And I would caution against jumping to conclusions until we have all the facts," Obama said in a Rose Garden statement otherwise devoted to the economy.
"What we do know is that there are families, friends and an entire nation grieving right now for the valiant men and women who came under attack yesterday," the president said.
In other words, don’t jump to the conclusion that Hasan was a radical Muslim. We don’t want to get hasty and start blaming Islam! Sorry Barry, we know his religion was the cause — too late.
Get ready for the ultimate whitewash of this entire affair by the mainstream media and The White House.
Every conceivable reason will be given for why this traitor did what he did except the actual one — his religion.
It’s not politically correct to blame Islam for anything in America. The television and print media will go out of their way to avoid mentioning that Hasan is a Muslim. A Muslim who thought other Muslims should fight back against the U.S. military in Iraq and Afghanistan. A Muslim who made internet posts sympathetic to suicide bombers. A Muslim who yelled “Allahu Akbar” before gunning down 12 colleagues at Fort Hood.
With the exception of Fox News, the media is a disgrace.

Fort Hood Shooter Shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’
According to the AP, the Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan shouted “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire. “Allahu Akbar” is Arabic for “God is great” and is a frequent battle cry of radical Muslims.
The Death Of Free Speech In Britain
Robert Spencer has an excellent piece at Human Events about the dire situation in London as it relates to radical Islam.
Local British citizens are afraid to even appear on camera discussing radical Islam, because they fear…government reprisals.
For when we finally tried to assemble in another place a roundtable of concerned British citizens to discuss the problem of the Islamization of Britain, one by one the British participants dropped out. If they appeared on camera, we were told, the government could and probably would threaten their livelihood.
Any suggestion real or implied that somehow it’s a problem that radical Islam is taking over London — well that’s just hate speech.
I really hope leaders in Britain and Europe get a clue about what is happening to their countries before it’s too late.
Read Al-Qaida’s New Book
On June 30, a terrorist named Murasil al-Fajr posted a 179-page book on a well known Jihadi website. The book was written by Abu-Yahya al-Libi (pictured above) with an introduction by Bin Laden’s #2 Ayman al-Zawahiri.
The book titled, “Guidance On The Ruling Of The Muslim Spy” is meant to provide other terrorists with religious guidance on the thorny issue of Muslim spies.
What Al-Libi lays out is a startling look at just how devastating Bush’s anti-terror policies have been.
Here are some of the highlights:
“The spies… were sent to penetrate the ranks of the Muslims generally, and the mujahidin specifically, and [they] spread all over the lands like locusts.”
“The spies are busy day and night carrying out their duties in an organized and secret manner… How many heroic leaders have been kidnapped at their hands? How many major mujahidin were surprised to be imprisoned or traced? Even the military and financial supply roads of the mujahidin, which are far from the enemy’s surveillance, were found by the spies.”
Western spies are found under every conceivable cover, al-Libi wrote. “They have among them old hunchbacked men who cannot even walk, strong young men, weak women inside their house, young girls, and even children who did not reach puberty yet. The spy might be a doctor, nurse, engineer, student, preacher, scholar, runner, or a taxi driver. The spy can be anyone….”
“The occupation armies completely rely on recruiting spies and informants from the Muslim lands they usurped and conquered… The spy lives among Muslims, being one of them: living their life, wearing their dress, eating what they eat… Therefore, he can access what the armed soldiers of the occupation cannot put hands on.”
Al-Libi goes on to say he would rather not write about this stuff, but feels obliged to because it’s such a huge problem. He writes that the issue of Western spies infiltrating their organizations must be discussed and can no longer be avoided.
“Taking into consideration the importance of the issue and the vital need to clarify its details, I found myself obliged to write about it…the issue cannot be delayed anymore.”
“This issue cannot be solved by hiding or eliminated by neglecting. It cannot be stopped if we don’t talk about it because its wickedness is overwhelming, the situation is dangerous, the damage is massive, the war fires are growing.”
The book is 88-pages after being translated into English and offers a fascinating look into the mind of the enemy. Their belief that killing Americans and other infidels is “God’s work” continues to make radical Islam the most serious threat to America.
Contrary to what President Obama says about Bush’s policies making America “less safe”, this book and mountains of other evidence show otherwise. President Bush understood that his job was not to make the whole world like us, but rather to make our enemies fear us.
Hunting down the terrorists like dogs, killing them, and/or extracting information from them by any means necessary was and is the best strategy for keeping America safe.
Sarkozy Says Burqas ‘Not Welcome’ In France
French president Nicolas Sarkozy spoke out today against women wearing the Muslim burqa on the streets of France.
Sarkozy said he finds the small but growing trend of women wearing the full-body garment in France troubling and supports a ban on the practice.
"In our country, we cannot accept that women be prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity," Sarkozy said to extended applause in a speech at the Chateau of Versailles southwest of Paris.
"The burqa is not a religious sign, it’s a sign of subservience, a sign of debasement—I want to say it solemnly," he said. "It will not be welcome on the territory of the French Republic."
Kudos to Sarkozy for having the guts to stand up on this issue. Like Britain, France is being taken over by Islam.
Europeans are usually either too politically correct or too scared of the Muslim backlash to say so.
There is nothing wrong with immigration per say, but when millions of people pour into a country and refuse to assimilate it’s a problem.
Especially, when many of those people hold radical beliefs that include murdering people with whom they disagree.
Rather than adopt the culture and practices of their new home country, many Muslim immigrants in Europe expect the country to change for them.
I realize the idea of banning burqas is contrary to the idea of religious freedom, but I think Europe is a special case.
Radical Islam is threatening to swallow up western culture and traditions. Burqas are the coverings the Taliban makes women wear.
French Immigration Minister Eric Besson is against banning the burqa for fear of creating “tensions.”
Fear of creating “tensions” (meaning violence and intimidation from Muslims) is what usually stifles criticism of Islam in Europe.
In 2004, France banned women from wearing the Islamic headscarf and other conspicuous religious symbols from public schools.
I think banning the headscarf goes too far. The headscarf is warn by peaceful Muslims and is not associated with extremism like the burqa.
While banning the burqa is a good start, Islamic clothing is not the problem in France. Unchecked Muslim immigration is the problem in France.
France has a Muslim population of more than 5 million — the largest in Western Europe.
Dutch MP Geert Wilders has the right idea for The Netherlands. He’s calling for a freeze on all immigration from Muslim countries and deportation for Muslim immigrants who commit crimes or who refuse to assimilate.

Video: Geert Wilders Tells The Truth About Islam At The David Horowitz Freedom Center
I’ve written quite a bit about Geert Wilders over the last couple of years. He’s one of the only people in Europe willing to speak out against the spread of Islam and the Islamization of Europe. Wilders is being prosecuted in multiple countries under absurd “hate speech” laws for speaking out against Islam. As a Dutch member of parliament he lives under constant death threats from Muslims in the Netherlands.
He was invited to speak in Britain recently and was turned away at the airport after radical Muslims threatened to overrun the British parliament if he were allowed to speak — thus proving Wilder’s point that Islam is a totalitarian ideology.
Take a listen to this magnificent speech from Geert Wilders in Los Angeles at the David Horowitz Freedom Center:
Here’s the Q & A after the speech:

Video: Bill O’Reilly Interviews Dutch MP Geert Wilders
Geert Wilders is a hero. He puts his life on the line every single day in his home country of Holland. Cowardly Europeans have given in and given up trying to resist the spread of Islam. Speaking out against Islam is considered hate speech in the courts and Wilders was even denied entry into Great Britain after a Muslim member of parliament threatened to unleash 10,000 Muslims onto the streets of London if he were allowed in. The hatred of Wilders stems from a short film he made which tells the truth about Islam. He shows Islam to be a totalitarian ideology much like communism or fascism. It’s a religion about total control and domination. Europe has allowed unchecked Muslim immigration for years which has created a powder keg in many countries that could ignite at any moment.
The cowardly British and French now have so many angry, radical Muslims in their countries that they don’t dare speak up about it. A combination of left-wing political correctness and classic European cowardess in the face of threats has allowed Islam to dictate the rules. Islamic Sharia courts operate in Britain with the blessings of the government. People like Geert Wilders are kept from even entering a supposedly free country like Britain because of threats by a Muslim. Wilders is facing prosecution for hate speech, while Muslims in Britain, Holland, France, and elsewhere are allowed to openly call for the murder of Jews and the destruction of America. Wilders has to live under armed guard because of the thousands of death threats he receives every single day.

Dutch Politician To Be Prosecuted For Making Anti-Islamic Statements
There is no greater example that the whole world (particularly Europe) has gone completely mad than what is happening in the Netherlands. Dutch MP Geert Wilders is being put on trial in the Netherlands for making “anti-Islamic statements.”
Wilders made a controversial film last year highlighting the connection between Islam and terrorism (what a crazy idea) and Muslims (which the Netherlands is now full of) were predictably outraged.
Geert Wilders is the sole voice of reason in a country being destroyed from within by political correctness and appeasement. Radical Muslims are immigrating to the Netherlands and all over Europe due to lax immigration laws. Wilders thinks it may not be such a good idea to let every Tom, Dick, and Harry (or in this case Abdul, Tarique, and Mohammad) who practices Islam become a Dutch citizen and set-up shop.
The Islamization of Europe is extremely troubling and Wilders is right to speak out on it.

Sony Recalls Video Game After Single Complaint From Muslim
Sony’s newest big budget video game called LittleBigPlanet was recalled after receiving a complaint from a Muslim on the Playstation forums.
The complaint cited a single musical track in which two Islamic phrases from the Qur’an are used in the game.
Here’s what alleged Muslim “Solid_08″ wrote:
We Muslims consider the mixing of music and words from our Holy Qur’an deeply offending. We hope you would remove that track from the game immediately via an online patch, and make sure that all future shipments of the game disk do not contain it.
We would also like to mention that this isn’t the first time something like this happened in videogames. Nintendo’s 1998 hit “Zelda: Ocarina of Time” contained a musical track with islamic phrases, but it was removed in later shipments of the game after Nintendo was contacted by Muslim organizations. Last year, Capcom’s “Zack & Wiki” and Activision’s “Call of Duty 4″ also contained objectionable material offensive to Muslims that was spotted before the release of the final games, and both companies thankfully removed the content.
Here’s what the Islamofascist found so offensive:
1) In the 18th second: “كل نفس ذائقة الموت” (”kollo nafsin tha’iqatol mawt”, literally: ‘Every soul shall have the taste of death’).
2) Almost immediately after, in the 27th second: “كل من عليها فان” (”kollo man alaiha fan”, literally: ‘All that is on earth will perish’).
Immediately, Sony executives together with the game’s developers conceited like cowards and issued the following statement:
As some of you may have noticed, LBP has been slightly delayed in some territories. At MM we were as shocked and dismayed by this as anyone – shellshocked and gutted. We can’t wait for you all to get playing and creating!
We learnt yesterday that there is a lyric in one of the licensed tracks which some people may find offensive, and which slipped through the usual screening processes. Obviously MM and Sony together took this very seriously. LBP should be enjoyable by all. So within 12 hours of hearing about this issue involving a lyric (in Somalian, I believe!), Media Molecule had prepared an automatic day 0 patch and had a new disk image ready; however a decision was made within Sony that the right thing to do for quality and support of people with no on-line was to replace existing disks. They assure us that they are doing everything in their power to get things straightened out as fast as possible, and will announce dates soon.
Just in case any Muslim feathers were still ruffled by the incident, Sony made an extra apology on the U.S. Playstation Blog:
During the review process prior to the release of LittleBigPlanet, it has been brought to our attention that one of the background music tracks licensed from a record label for use in the game contains two expressions that can be found in the Qur’an. We have taken immediate action to rectify this and we sincerely apologize for any offense that this may have caused.
We will begin shipping LittleBigPlanet to retail in North America the week of October 27th. Sorry for the delay, and rest assured, we are doing everything we can to get LittleBigPlanet to you as soon as possible.
The idea that the world must walk on egg shells for fear of offending the delicate sensibilities of Muslims is really pathetic. A single complaint caused the release of a multi-million dollar video game to be halted and in many instances recalled over two phrases in a single track.
I’m willing to bet if Sony had received a complaint from a Christian about something ‘offensive’ in the game, it would have simply been ignored. It would have been ignored because Christians don’t go ape shit and start murdering people and burning cars in the street when they’re offended.
Remember back to the Danish cartoon incident or when the Pope said something Muslims found offensive, there was literally blood in the streets.
For companies or individuals to cave to that kind of pressure gives the impression to Islamofascists that using terror and intimidation is an appropriate response to being slighted (real or imagined).
You expect the gutless Europeans to give in out of fear of offending the Muslim hoards, but not in America. We have something called freedom of speech in this country and if Muslims find that offensive they should move to an Islamic country.
