Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood government takes a different view, the Washington Post reported yesterday. The trouble, the government says, is that Egyptians are eating too much. In a separate report, […]

http://pjmedia.com/blog/argentinas-betrayal/ Last week, Argentina and Iran jointly agreed to establish a “truth commission [1]” that will investigate the 1994 Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) bombing. Imagine if Franklin Roosevelt had partnered with the Japanese to investigate the truth about Pearl Harbor. Or if George W. Bush had partnered with al-Qaeda to investigate the truth about […]

After being granted asylum in Spain to escape threats to his life, Imram Farasat, might be deported back to Pakistan.
Why would he be deported after being granted asylum? Well it’s all because he had the guts to voice his opinion. More specifically, he created a film on Mohammad titled, “The Innocent Prophet” which goes through Muhammad’s life and reveals the real Muhammad.
Now most of you who are familiar with Islam know the true story of Muhammad, but for many Muslims and non-informed individuals the truth can be revolting to say the least. And that’s what happened to Farasat. The simple act of speaking out against Islam has put Farasat in a dangerous situation.
If he is sent back to Pakistan he will most likely be assaulted or killed by those who don’t take criticism of Islam lightly. Even his attorney, Same Nunberg, fears for his life.
Farasat has, in addition to creating an anti-Muhammad film, also described Islam as “political dictatorship which persecutes and teaches to persecute.” He has also spoken out against such persecution saying that:
“Christians are being persecuted in Islamic countries to the maximum level of suffering and torture and Islam is trying to invade the Western world and kill our values… It is time that citizens of the Western world should stand up and speak the truth against something that is wrong. The Bible teaches us to speak the truth in any situation. And for me the truth is that Islam is a man-made religion which was created in order to govern the world. It has several contradictions in itself. It teaches killing (Jihad), [hatred of] non-Muslims, [discrimination against] women, rule the world at any price, etc.”
The fact that Imram Farasat might be deported back to Pakistan shows the complete lack of concern that the Spanish authorities have for Imram’s security. But then again, most government authorities don’t want to realize the fact that some Muslims can actually be a danger to non-Muslims. Denial is never healthy, especially when it comes to someone’s life.
I think that organized Jewish opposition to the nomination of Chuck Hagel is misplaced and misapplied. It particularly peeves me that some of those offended by his remarks on the “Jewish Lobby” or his general opinions on Israel, are the same folks who still flog the notion of a two state (dis)solution which would place jihadists at Israel’s throat. It also peeves me that they do not recognize the poison at the top. The President’s hostility to Israel is on the record and he will set the policy not the Secretary of Defense.
More important than Hagel’s fumbling and actually stupid pronouncements are the cuts the Department of Defense will make in every branch of our military. Last night I attended an excellent briefing sponsored by The National Security Roundtable ( http://nsroundtable.org/) a worthy and informative non partisan organization, on Missile Defense in America and Israel. It was off the record so I respect that request.
The speaker has an impressive record in the issue of defense, and outlined the various aspects and success of strategic anti-missile defenses including Israel’s Iron Dome. He also described and demonstrated in a power point presentation the development of deadly and sophisticated missiles in North Korea, Lebanon, and Iran, and the concomitant installations to detect and give early warnings on potential launching. We also saw videos of actual targeting and destruction of several types of missiles launched from Unite States navy vessels and land based installations.
The point I want to make is that this anti-missile defense system keeps us relatively safe and ahead of the enemy curve…..but the entire mission will face severe cutbacks with “sequestration” and general cuts in defense spending.
Repeat…..the entire anti-missile defense system will face severe cutback with “sequestration” and general cuts in defense spending and we and Israel and all our allies will be more vulnerable to the enemies’ threats.
That, to me is the main issue…not Hagel’s oafish opinions….We have to choose our battles wisely. We have to oppose the president’s intention to hollow out our military. rsk

http://www.familysecuritymatters.org/publications/detail/americas-future-belongs-to-islam?f=must_reads (author of Crescent Moon Rising) Islam, according to newly released data from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies, is now the fastest growing religion in America, verifying President Barack Obama’s claim that the United States is “no longer a Judeo-Christian country.” How many Muslims now live within the country remains anyone’s guess, […]
http://frontpagemag.com/2013/dgreenfield/freeloaders-or-free-country-2/print/ Defeats are never easy to take and yet every defeat is a necessary learning experience. Reading the memoirs of the greatest athletes and generals, you discover that they learned more from their defeats than from their victories because their victories only taught them their strengths while their defeats forced them to confront their weaknesses.
