Obama admin to remove all references to “Islam” in terror training programs; to allow Islamist sympathizers to vet new material [Darleen Click]

Posted by on Friday, 21 October, 2011

Unflippinbelieveable Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Cole confirmed on Wednesday that the Obama administration was pulling back all training materials used for the law enforcement and national security communities, in order to eliminate all references to Islam that some Muslim groups have claimed are offensive. The move comes after complaints from advocacy organizations including the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) and others identified as Muslim Brotherhood front groups in the 2004 Holy Land Foundation terror fundraising trial. In a Wednesday Los Angeles Times op-ed , Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) president Salam al-Marayati threatened the FBI with a total cutoff of cooperation between American Muslims and law enforcement if the agency failed to revise its law enforcement training materials. Maintaining the training materials in their current state “will undermine the relationship between law enforcement and the Muslim American community,” al-Marayati wrote. Multiple online sources detail MPAC’s close alignment with CAIR. In his op-ed, Al-Marayati demanded that the Justice Department and the FBI “issue a clear and unequivocal apology to the Muslim American community” and “establish a thorough and transparent vetting process in selecting its trainers and materials.” Dwight C. Holton, the U.S. Attorney in Oregon said he had spoken with Holder directly about the issue of the terror training materials. Holton is the federal prosecutor who announced the arrest of so-called “Christmas tree bomber” Mohamed Osman Mohamud in 2010. That announcement made no mention of Mohamud’s Muslim faith. “I want to be perfectly clear about this: training materials that portray Islam as a religion of violence or with a tendency towards violence are wrong, they are offensive, and they are contrary to everything that this president, this attorney general and Department of Justice stands for,” Holton said Wednesday. “They will not be tolerated.” Such training materials “pose a significant threat to national security, because they play into the false narrative propagated by terrorists that the United States is at war with Islam,” he added. Yep, those 19 guys who murdered 3,000 people on 9/11 did it because they were upset at income inequality in America. Shrieks of Allahu Akbar! while beheading someone or blowing up a bus of Jewish kids really just mean “Tax the Rich!”.

Prominent Egyptian cleric urges all men, women and children to grow beards

Posted by on Wednesday, 15 June, 2011

Salafists belong to a puritanical Muslim sect that has become associated with violent jihad. Now there’s a group of Egyptian Salafists that’s trying to persuade other Muslims to grow beards to show their devotion to Allah. But you won’t believe their bizarre twist on Muslim tradition. In the words of Stevie Wonder, “Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful,” Allah willing The Egyptian Gazette has the details: These Salafists are calling for a million men to be bearded before the holy fasting month of Ramadan which starts in August. “This freedom is a fruit of the January 25 revolution. In the presence of the [now disbanded] State Security Police under Mubarak, asking Egyptians to grow beards was like dreaming of touching the moon,” says Sheikh Safwat Hegzai, a Salafist cleric. … Sheikh Mohamed Hassan, a veteran cleric with strong Salafist leanings, has lauded the campaign, hoping that 80 million Egyptians (this would include all Egypt’s women and children too) grow a beard like the Prophet Mohamed. Secularists and liberals have denounced the campaign for a million Muslims to grow beards, saying the timing of such a campaign could lead to a rift in Egyptian society. We would imagine that a nation of 80,000,000 bearded women will, indeed, cause a rift. It will also cause burqa sales to skyrocket. Source: Egyptian Gazette

Palestinian women break through the glass ceiling, now accepted as suicide bombers

Posted by on Saturday, 21 May, 2011

If only oppressed, downtrodden American women had the kind of equal rights that Muslim women have. Why, that would be a perfect world. A heaven on earth. A paradise where … what’s that? They get to blow themselves up? Never mind. Congratulations, Palestinian women! You live in a society where you're considered equal to lunatics! MEMRI has the explosive details: Hamas Minister of Women’s Affairs Jamila Al-Shanti: “Palestinian society is, by nature, a society of resistance. Resistance does not mean only the bearing of arms. The people who aid those who bear arms are sometimes even stronger than them. The [Palestinian] woman is the wife of a resistance fighter, or the mother of resistance fighters, or else she herself is on the frontline, or she opens her home to resistance fighters. She is capable of doing everything. During the incursions [into Gaza], the women fought in every way possible. They confronted the tanks, they confronted the Zionist enemy. “All means of resistance are available to women. In addition, we have a long list of female martyrdom-seekers. Need I say more? If you do the math, the number of male martyrdom-seekers is twice the number of female martyrdom-seekers. So the number of female martyrdom seekers is hardly insignificant. “What does the number of martyrdom women tell us? It means that the women have not left the dangerous places. The women who live along the border did not leave their homes. They say: ‘The resistance is here. If I leave, the Zionist enemy will be able to isolate the resistance fighters.’ So the women remained in their homes, and serve as shields for these fighters. “Resistance consists of many things, one of which is the bearing of arms – and women bear arms as well. The women are at the service of the military operations and the resistance. There is no realm to which they are denied entry.” But what about abortions? Can Palestinian women get unrestricted abortions? Because that’s the true sign of an advanced society. Oh, wait. We forgot that they also send children out as suicide bombers. Or as liberals call it, retroactive abortion. Source: MEMRI

Love, Moroccan style: Fatwa allows man to have sex with dead wife’s corpse

Posted by on Tuesday, 17 May, 2011

Call it sick. Twisted. Depraved. Bizarre. Choose whatever word you want to describe this latest fatwa for lovesick Moroccans. Trust us, you can’t come up with a word that’s harsh enough. “Not tonight, dear. I have a dead ache.” MoroccoBoard.com issues the fatal fatwa facts: Necrophilia is now Halal in Morocco by the grace of (Islamic Scholar and member of the religious establishment) Alem Zemzami. I should perhaps be more specific in Zemzami’s Fatwa: he allows the widowed husband to have sexual intercourse with the corpse of his deceased wife. The Fatwa does not say whether it reciprocates for a woman (although I suspect even with rigor mortis, it will not do) nor does it specify how many hours after the wife’s death a man can still, you know… perform their marital duties. If it was not for the scholar’s level of seniority, I would dismiss this fatwa as yet another deranged, lonely individual who did not get some for a while. But this is Zemzami. And it is a Fatwa from an official of the Habous ministry. If indeed such Fatwa is genuine. … Zemzami justifies his ruling by means of analogy: Since a good Muslim couple will meet again in Heaven, and since death does not alter the marital contract (in his opinion) it is not a hindrance to the husband’s desire to have sexual intercourse with the corpse of his (freshly) deceased wife. A deranged mind and flawed logical thinking seem not to be part of the position of Senior Alem’s requirements. I am no Islamic Scholar (thank God) but I remember from my (compulsory and utterly boring) High School Islamic courses that there is a minimum amount of logical thinking when the Imam (or Alem) makes their Ijtihad, or investigations. And quite frankly, I really don’t see how he managed to find a ruling for the deceased; The Islamic literature is very extensive on the living (as it normally it should be) but Zemzami’s ruling tops them all. He seemed to overlook the procreating objective of marital mating (this is why concepts such as “نكاح المتعة” are forbidden) … So much for the “’til death do us part” section of the wedding vows.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, Poco-poco: The forbidden dance of Indonesian love

Posted by on Thursday, 28 April, 2011

Muslim clerics in Indonesia have outlawed a popular dance known as the poco poco. Aging sexpot Charo and Italian President Berlusconi reportedly breathed big sighs of relief that that neither the coochie coochie nor the bunga bunga were outlawed. DailyIndia.com has the story: Islamic clerics in Malaysia are firm on their ban on ‘poco-poco’ a popular dance form, claimed of having Christian roots, despite the country’s National Fatwa Council’s decision to allow the dance. The Perak Fatwa council’s Mufti, Harussani Zakaria, said the state fatwa council was convinced that the dance contained elements of Christianity and spirit worship. “We will not back down on our decision. It is final,” the Star quoted Zakaria, as saying. Quick. Someone check with the Muslim clerics in American Samoa. We want to make sure the poco poco is still legal in Pago Pago. Here’s a video of Indonesian school teachers doing the poco poco. When the dance begins you can hear the audience go into a Christian proselytizing frenzy. Source: DailyIndia.com
