The Dangerous Lie Of The Hijab
Islam is not about garments, any
more than a hijab actually covers anything but a woman's hair. In fact, to the
contrary, a hijab-wearing woman in the West attracts attention to herself
merely by the fact of the scarf itself, and to the political statement it
really represents: "I am not-you. I am Muslim. I am other, and I reject
what is not me." It pronounces the "us" of "us and them"
in a gesture of arrogance and isolationism, while ignoring the greater truth of
any faith: that it exists in your heart and in your behavior, and no more.
A Layman’s Guide to Revolutionary Sunni Islamism, the World’s Greatest Threat
The Muslim Brotherhood wants Sharia states. It would like a caliphate (run by itself of course). It wants Israel wiped off the map and America kicked out of the Middle East. It wants women put into second-class citizenship and gays put into their graves. It wants Christians subordinated or thrown out. It wants all of these things.Hamas-linked CAIR opposes antisemitism resolution because it "stifles robust political debate on university campuses"
Robert Spencer does not support restrictions on the freedom
of speech, but the hypocrisy of Hamas-linked CAIR's stance here is striking. The
Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), which does all it
can to shut down robust political debate when it is engaged in by
counter-jihadists, has at last come out in favor of the freedom of speech!
There's just one catch: they're opposing a resolution that would ban
antisemitic activity.
Following is the letter Robert Spencer then sent to
Hamas-linked CAIR’s Ibrahim Hooper. He doubts he will hear back.
Dear Mr. Hooper ,
I read with great interest CAIR-California's call to reject the UC
anti-Semitism resolution on the grounds that it would interfere with
"robust political debate." I must say that I was a bit surprised:
after having worked so energetically over the last few years to get me and
other critics of jihad and Islamic supremacism banned from speaking on campuses
and in numerous other venues (such as the American Library Association
conference, from which CAIR's Ahmed Rehab was pivotal in getting me canceled),
it was extremely heartening to see CAIR finally come around to endorsing the
principles of free speech and "robust political debate."
In accord with your new spirit of openness to genuine discussion
and dialogue, I'd like to invite you to appear on my monthly show on the Aramaic
Broadcasting Network, www.abnsat.com. This
network goes via satellite all over the Arabic-speaking world, and so I am
certain that a discussion on issues of jihad terror, "Islamophobia"
and the like would be of great interest to ABN's viewing audience.
My show runs for an hour and a half and is broadcast once a month,
but the specific date is flexible -- please let me know what would be a good
date for you to appear on the show in September, and I will make every effort
to accommodate you. You could appear from the comfort of your office in Washington, or any other
location you chose, via Skype.
Congratulations and thanks again for CAIR's strong endorsement of
"robust political debate." I look forward into engaging in just that
with you, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and tolerance.
Warmest regards
Robert Spencer

Islamist
Vandals Wage War on Free Speech
Up to now, such
acts of vigilante censorship on behalf of Islam have been relatively rare in
the U.S.,
whose First Amendment traditionally has fostered a society in which
controversial speech is opposed with more speech, not crudely silenced.
However, America may be inching closer to other Western nations where Islamists
and their fellow travelers have long made a habit of countering “offensive” words
and images with vandalism — an important symptom of creeping Shari‘a that is
worth examining in detail.
Afghanistan
Juma Khan an elder from Helmand province in Afghanistan
where the Taliban beheaded 15 men and 2 women after an ‘immoral’ house party
commented:
“Unfortunately the young men do this sometimes.
They had a party with music and dancing, and they were behaving badly with the
women.”
Response of Hamid Karzai, the Afghan president, in response
to the slaughter of innocent civilians:
“This attack
shows that there are irresponsible members among the Taliban.”
Is this what our brave men and women fighting in Afghanistan
are dying for? And will this courageous woman be next?
in remembrance:
Neil Armstrong represented American hope, pride and
excellence. And he took us to the moon. Godspeed on your trip through the
heavens. Rest in peace.

TUESDAY IS VOTING DAY IN QUEBEC
Voting in any type of election, from local elections
to the Prime Minister provides an important way to voice your opinions
regarding elected leaders and overall policies; voting also helps you decide
your own future by electing a person who might reflect your own views. The
ability to vote exists as one of the most cherished parts of our democracy and
freedom. Men and women have fought for, marched for, and died for this
right over the centuries and it is an insult to their memory to NOT cast your
ballot.
If the right to vote no longer existed, this country
would no longer survive as a democratic nation, but completely totalitarian. By
not voting, you give away your right to influence the government overall. More
importantly, however, not voting takes away the "will of the majority that
governs this country, but [replaces it with] the will of the minority" .
