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.

Bin Laden Mentor Condemns Fort Hood Shooting
From Wired:
The Ft. Hood shootings were so gruesome and inhuman, even Osama Bin Laden’s former spiritual mentor is condemning them — calling the massacre that killed 13 “irrational” and “empty of thought,” according to a translation provided to Danger Room by the NEFA Foundation.
Salman Al-Awdah, a Saudi cleric who played an influential role in Bin Laden’s early radicalism, made the statement during an appearance on his “Life is a Word” show on MBC, a Saudi-owned news and entertainment satellite TV channel, later posting his remarks on his website, Islam Today.
“Incidents [such as the Ft. Hood shootings] have bad consequences, and undoubtedly this man might have a psychological problem; he may be a psychiatrist but he [also] might have had psychological distress, as he was being commissioned to go to Iraq or Afghanistan, and he was capable of refusing to work whatever the consequences were.”
I guess he should have made it sexier by waiting until he was deployed and then strapping some C4 to his chest and walking into a chow hall.
Just because one radical jihadi condemns another radical jihadi doesn’t mean anything. They’re both crazy assholes that we need to kill.
Michael Bloomberg Welcomes 1993 WTC Plotter To City Hall
NY Mayor Michael Bloomberg decided to host a summit at city hall with Muslim leaders to discuss Fort Hood.
Among those invited was unindicted co-conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Siraj Wahhaj. Wahhaj is a radical Imam who runs the Masjid Al-Taqws mosque in Brooklyn. He’s said in the past that the CIA and FBI are the real terrorists.
Bloomberg will do anything and pander to anyone to get attention. Doesn’t he realize these radical Muslims aren’t interested in talking? Wahhaj would cut his rich American throat in the blink of an eye if the opportunity presented itself.
While Bloomberg’s actions are indeed outrageous, I think the bigger outrage is that Siraj Wahhaj is still allowed to run his stupid mosque in Brooklyn. That asshole should be in jail or living in some other country.
Did Hasan Wire Money To Pakistan?
New questions are being raised about where all of Fort Hood terrorist Nidal Malik Hasan’s money has been going.
He earned more than $90,000 per year, but lived alone in a broken down apartment he rented for $300 a month. Investigators are combing through his financial records as we speak.
Better late than never — I guess.
Poll: 60% Want Fort Hood Investigated As Terrorist Act, 65% Want Death Penalty
A new poll from Rasmussen Reports shows 60% of Americans want the attack at Fort Hood investigated as a terrorist attack. Only 27% want it investigated as a civilian criminal act.
65% want Major Nidal Malik Hasan to get the death penalty.
76% believe the military should remove officers who attempt to contact terrorist organizations such as Al Qaeda:
Seventy-six percent (76%) believe the army should remove from duty all officers like Hasan who attempt to contact radical terrorist organizations such as al Qaeda. Only seven percent (7%) disagree. This general view was articulated by Senator Joseph Lieberman, who said, "If Hasan was showing signs, saying to people that he had become an Islamist extremist, the U.S. Army has to have a zero tolerance."
The fact that it’s even a debatable issue as whether a military officer should be removed for contacting Al Qaeda really speaks volumes about the sorry state of our country.
Political correctness is running wild in America and is creating a pre-9/11 mentality that will only cost more lives.
Hasan should have been dishonorably discharged years ago and possibly even prosecuted. It’s outrageous that a radical Muslim who spoke openly about his contempt for America would be allowed to continue serving in the Army.
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.
Two Muslim Terrorists In India Killed By Hungry Bear
This has to be one of the best stories ever. Three Muslim terrorists in Indian-administered Kashmir took up residence inside a cave and cooked up a batch of pudding to eat.
Not long after, the large bear that lived in that cave arrived home to find Islamic intruders in his house — and some uneaten pudding.
Outraged at the intrusion and more than a little hungry, the bear ate two of the terrorists and the rest of the pudding.
Only one terrorist made it out alive — barely.
Kudos to the bear.

CAIR Tries To Plant Muslim Interns On Capital Hill
The radical Muslim organization CAIR attempted to plant Muslim interns in key offices on Capital Hill — offices that affect national security.
General To Resign If Not Given Resources For Afghanistan
General Stanley McChrystal who commands all forces in Afghanistan is prepared to resign if President Obama fails to deliver the troops and resources needed to win the war.
I don’t blame him a bit. If the president is not willing to give the military everything they need to win then we should just come home.
Allowing our troops to get chewed up by the enemy simply because the president wants to play politics is outrageous.
US Strikes Al Qaeda Target In Somalia, Most Wanted Terrorist Killed
From ABC News:
A U.S. commando attack in Somalia has killed an al Qaeda operative who is on the FBI’s list of most wanted terrorists, sources tell ABC News.
The dead terrorist, Saleh Ali Nabhan, is believed to have taken part in the 1998 attacks on U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. He is also believed to have orchestrated the 2002 bombing of a resort hotel in Mombasa, Kenya, and a failed missile attack on an Israeli airliner leaving Mombasa airport.
Several sources tell ABC News at least one U.S. helicopter fired on a convoy carrying suspected al Qaeda targets in southern Somalia. An American official says a U.S. Navy ship was also nearby to monitor the situation and provide assistance if needed.
Ali Nabhan’s death has not yet been officially confirmed, but sources tell ABC News that his body is now in U.S. custody.
Ali Nabhan, a 28-year-old Kenyan, is on the FBI’s most wanted list for terrorist activities such as the resort and missile attacks as well as participation in the 1998 attack on the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
An internal U.S. government report described to ABC News details Ali Nabhan’s efforts in Somalia as a top al Qaeda officer in East Africa. The report claims that Ali Nabhan ran training camps in Somalia for foreign fighters, including some Americans of Somali descent. Some of the graduates of these terror camps have been tied to attacks and threats around the globe, the report states.
According to one source, U.S. military helicopters attacked suspected al Qaeda elements traveling south of Mogadishu and killed all the occupants of the convoy. Initial reports say the U.S. choppers landed on the scene and took the bodies with them. Ali Nabhan’s body was among the causalities, the source said.
A U.S. official confirms that Ali Nabhan’s body was recovered by the attacking U.S. forces.
That was a gutsy move on our part. Major kudos to President Obama for having the stones to approve a mission like that. It sounds like our special ops guys once again performed flawlessly.
