Honor Crime in America: 2009 Recap by David J. Rusin • Dec 31, 2009 at 4:03 pm http://www.islamist-watch.org/blog/2009/12/honor-crime-in-america-2009-recap Send RSS Share: Over the past year, Americans have heard much about honor killings on U.S. soil, as even the see-no-evil mainstream press could no longer ignore these crimes. A brief review is in order. The United States witnessed two high-profile slayings in 2009 that have been widely characterized as honor murders: Muzzammil Hassan is charged with beheading his estranged wife Aasiya on February 12 at the Buffalo-area offices of Bridges TV, the channel they founded to improve the image and self-image of Muslims in the U.S. Previously Aasiya filed for divorce and obtained a protection order against her husband. The start of his trial for second-degree murder has been pushed back to March 2010, so his attorneys can have more time to prepare an insanity defense. Faleh Hassan Almaleki, an immigrant from Iraq reported to be a U.S. citizen, is charged with first-degree murder for running over his daughter Noor, along with her boyfriend's mother, in an Arizona parking lot on October 20. Noor had scorned an arranged marriage and moved in with a different man. Prosecutor Stephanie Low stated, "By his own admission, this was an intentional act, and the reason was that his daughter had brought shame on him and his family" for being "too Westernized." Both cases exhibit hallmarks of honor murder outlined by Phyllis Chesler: "barbaric ferocity" in the Hassan beheading and direct references to family shame in the Almaleki hit and run. Other honor-related crimes and stories made the news in 2009. Among them: Waheed Allah Mohammad, a New York-based Afghan refugee, pleaded guilty on January 7 to the attempted murder of his sister in 2008; he will serve between five and fifteen years. Mohammad described her as a "bad Muslim girl" who dresses immodestly. Ohio teen Rifqa Bary disappeared on July 19 and resurfaced in Florida, claiming that her Muslim parents would kill her for converting to Christianity because "there is great honor" for them to do so. She was later returned to Ohio, where her case continues. On September 17, the mother of Sarah and Amina Said finally declared the January 1, 2008, murder of her daughters to be an "honor killing" by their now-fugitive father. Mehdi M. Matin of Lynnwood, Washington, admitted to killing his visiting brother on October 26. Matin himself called it an honor slaying to avenge a decades-old insult about his onetime bride-to-be. He is charged with second-degree murder. As argued previously at IW, the appearance of honor murders is a particularly heinous manifestation of a broader problem: the introduction to the West of an Islamist culture that treats women as chattel and places family reputation above human life. How many more must die before we seriously address the ideology that has given birth to honor killings and other extreme examples of domestic violence in the U.S.?

Americans losing confidence in war on terrorism

Visit our News page America Losing Confidence in Obama Administration Fighting “War on Terror” Yesterday we emailed you a commentary by a Muslim reformer who questioned how the Obama administration is dealing with the threat of terrorism and radical Islam. Little did we know that the highly-respected Rasmussen Reports public opinion firm was going to release polling numbers yesterday that reveal the American people are losing confidence in the Obama administration’s ability to protect us from this threat (see story below). While the number of Islamist terror attacks in the U.S. in 2009 was the highest in any one year since 9/11, the Obama administration does not even acknowledge that holy war has been declared against us. President Obama will not use the terms “Islamist terrorism” or “Islamic terrorist.” According to many pundits, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is “in over her head” and thoroughly unprepared to lead the agency tasked with protecting us against terrorism. Even the liberal Washington Post ran an editorial on Monday criticizing the Obama administration’s reaction to the attempted terrorist attack on Christmas Day. No wonder Americans are losing faith in this administration to keep us safe from the growing threat of Islamist terrorism. War on Terror Update Plane Attack Spooks Public Confidence in War on Terror Wednesday, December 30, 2009 http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/mood_of_america/war_on_terror_update Belief that the bad guys are winning the War on Terror is now at its highest level over two years, and nearly half of U.S. voters say America is not safer than it was before 9/11. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 30% of voters think the terrorists are winning the War on Terror. That’s the first time the number holding that pessimistic view has reached 30% since October 2007. Just 18% believed the terrorists were winning the week President Obama took office in January. At that time, 55% said America and its allies were on top. Now, just 36% say the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror. Only once since July 2007 have voters had less confidence. Just 27% now say that the United States is safer today than it was before the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. However, 47% say it is not, That latter figure marks a nine-point jump from earlier in the month and is the highest negative finding on the question since Rasmussen Reports began surveying on it in 2002. We have been tracking the question monthly since November 2006 and also measured it regularly in 2004 and 2005. Before that, it was asked on an occasional basis. (Want a free daily e-mail update? If it's in the news, it's in our polls). Rasmussen Reports updates are also available on Twitter or Facebook. Male voters feel more strongly than women that the terrorists are now winning. But conversely men are also more likely to believe America is safer today than it was before 9/11. Republicans are evenly divided as to who is winning the War while a plurality of unaffiliated voters say neither side is winning. Democrats, by a 42% to 25% margin, believe the U.S. and its allies are winning. When a Republican was in the White House, Republicans were more optimistic than Democrats. Seventy-five percent (75%) of the Political Class say the United States and its allies are winning the War on Terror. Mainstream voters are more narrowly divided on the question. Similarly, 72% of the Political Class says the United States is safer today than before 9/11, but 54% of Mainstream voters disagree. In a separate survey following the Christmas Day incident, 79% of voters said it is likely there will be another terrorist attack in the United States in the next year. Forty-six percent (46%) say current airport security procedures are not strict enough. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ACT for America P.O.

-- "In an extensive interview, Rashad Mohammed al-Alimi, Yemen's vice prime minister for defense and security affairs, also said the cleric, Anwar al-Aulaqi, is believed to be alive. It was the first such statement from Yemen's government on the fate of the U.S.-born preacher, who has been linked to the gunman who allegedly killed 13 people at Fort Hood, Tex., on Nov. 5. Obama administration officials have said they believe Aulaqi was killed in a Dec. 24 airstrike on a house in southeastern Yemen where he had met with the Nigerian, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab."

Revolution Kids – Education Time With Farfour: Episode 1 Iraq & Fort Hood For Toddlers & Americans

2009 December 30

tags: Fort Hood, Muslim, New York, News, Nidal Hasan, Politics, Radical Islam, Revolution Muslim, Saddam Hussein

by Liz Blaine

Where are the Muslims protesting the actions of Nidal Hasan or groups such as Revolution Muslim?

A radical New York group, Revolution Muslim, have co-opted Farfour, the mouse who teaches hate and urges deadly violence against ‘infidels,’ to promote their extreme views to Muslim youth in America. Originally a character from a fanatical children’s program on Al-Aqsa TV, the new Farfour videos are part of an “educational program” aimed at Muslim children and Americans. This episode focuses on ethics, Saddam Hussein, and the Fort Hood shooter. The depravity of the video speaks for itself.

Comments to the video by Revolution Muslims members characterize the enemy living among us:

There are a lot of other Muslims serving in the Military (which is wrong), as Muslims we pray to Allah (swt) that he touches their hearts and make them turn on the Zio-Crusader forces, just like brother Nidal, Insha’Allah.
