DANIEL GREENFIELD: A MOSQUE FOR GROUND ZERO AND A BURQA FOR LADY LIBERTY

http://sultanknish.blogspot.com/2011/03/burqa-for-lady-liberty-and-mosque-for.html

FROM MARCH, 2011

A Muslim group has announced plans to cover the Statue of Liberty with a burqa and then replace her with a minaret. But there’s no reason at all to take such plans seriously. Lady Liberty being treated the way the Muslim world treats women in general, is as unlikely as a massive mosque being built just downwind of Ground Zero. Or Queen Elizabeth donning a hijab on a visit to Abu Dhabi. It’s one of those things that we’re told not to worry about until it happens and then objecting to it becomes a crime against tolerance. The tolerance of intolerance.

In Germany, a Kosovar Muslim airport employee cried, “Allahu Akbar” and opened fire on a group of US airmen. Of course the motive has yet to be determined, and after a long period of speculation touching on everything from his mortgage problems to his scratchy uniform, the truth will be known and quietly buried, along with the two men he killed. Little more than a decade ago, the United States Air Force was instrumental in helping create a terrorist state for Kosovar Muslims. This is the gratitude they got in return. A hail of bullets. And this is the gratitude that Westerners can always expect for their aid.

Anjem Choudary, the leader of the Islamic group that would like to sandblast Lady Liberty, and Arid Uka, the airport gunmen, were not hatched in some cave in Pakistan. Choudary was born in the London Borough of Bexley. Arid Uka was born and raised in Germany, where his family had lived for some 40 years. They are not immigrants, but native born European Muslims fighting to remake Europe into an Islamic state. The idea is fanciful, just like the Statue of Liberty being blown up by the American Taliban to make way for a minaret. But there was a time when a short Austrian corporal’s plans to build a Thousand Year Reich on the bones of Europe were as laughable as Choudary’s antics.

LADY LIBERTY: HAPPY BIRTHDAY

http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/10/29/us-statueofliberty-idUSTRE79R5R920111029 NEW YORK (Reuters) – She arrived in the United States from France 125 years ago, and has welcomed her fellow immigrants ever since. And although far fewer people literally sail past her on their first arrival to U.S. shores, much was made of her enduring symbolism at a ceremony on Friday marking the 125th […]

CAROLINE GLICK: WHITHER THE IDF?

http://www.carolineglick.com/e/2011/10/whither-the-idf.php
It was a normal Shabbat afternoon in Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood. Children were outside visiting with their friends and playing in the empty streets. But the tranquility of the scene was destroyed in a moment, when a Palestinian terrorist crept up on 17- year-old Yehuda Ne’emad and his friend and began stabbing Ne’emad in the abdomen and shoulder.
Ne’emad’s neighbor, a 12-year-old girl, told reporters that there but by the grace of God both she and her six-year-old brother would have also been attacked. After stabbing Ne’emad, the Palestinian terrorist began chasing the two children.
“It was only due to God’s help that I was able to escape,” she said. “I am sure that I couldn’t have escaped alone, because he was much faster than me.”
The IDF, which failed to prevent the attack, played no role in saving their lives. One week later, the terrorist was still at large.

MICHAEL CUTLER: THE LUNACY OF POLITICAL “LEADERS” WHO WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH ICE

Hi Gang:
My most recent commentary for the CAPS (Californians for Population Stabilization) website addresses the lunacy perpetrated by political “leaders” of various towns, cities and even some states to not work in cooperation with ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) to aid in the enforcement of our nation’s immigration laws. Most recently, the mayor of Washington, D.C. signed an executive order that would prevent police officers from inquiring about the citizenship or immigration status of individuals that they encounter during the course of their routine duties!
Of course the federal government is not likely to take any action against Washington, D.C. or other such jurisdictions that have established “sanctuary” policies where immigration is concerned- although it is clear that under federal criminal laws, anyone who shields, harbors, aids or encourages illegal aliens to enter the United States or remain thereafter illegally is committing a felony.
Conversely, the current administration’s tactic has been to file lawsuits against any city or state that attempts to enact and enforce their own laws or regulations that parallel the federal immigration statutes!

MAGGIE ASTOR: REMEMBERING EMMA LAZARUS ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY

Statue of Liberty: Remembering Emma Lazarus and Her 14 Iconic Lines
http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/239158/20111027/statue-liberty-remembering-emma-lazarus-14-iconic.htm

Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free…

In 14 lines engraved on a plaque on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, Emma Lazarus (1849-1887) captured the belief in the “American Dream” that has defined the United States’ self-image for more than a century and moved millions of immigrants to seek refuge here.

Fittingly, those lines — a sonnet titled “The New Colossus” — were written by a Jewish-American woman who knew how it was to feel like an outsider.
