Mother of killer of 2:”O mother of Martyr, let out cries of joy”
Father of killer of 2:”He avenged [the women of Al-Aqsa]… against the impure enemies…He made everyone lift his head up high.May he find favor in the eyes of Allah”

PA promotes Martyrdom-death

Fatah official about Fatah youth:
“Potential Martyrs for the beloved Palestine”

Fatah official posts music video:
“My blood will be shed for Al-Aqsa”

Children express desire to die for Allah and Al-Aqsa

“Mom, I want to die as a Martyr.
I want to carry out a Martyrdom operation (i.e., terror attack)
in order to kill some Israeli soldiers”

Amid the current Palestinian riots and wave of terror attacks, Palestinian Authority and Fatah officials continue to praise terrorist murderers as “Martyrs” and “heroes.” Some also encourage Shahada – seeking death as Martyrs for Allah. Becoming a Martyr (Shahid) represents the highest religious achievement that can be attained by a Muslim.

You might think that the obstacles to peace are the rockets from Gaza, the brutal murders of Jews and the recent suicide bombing. You might think that it was the Muslims who taunted and beat Adelle Banita-Bennett, suddenly widowed at 22, trying to escape the Muslim terrorist who had murdered her husband. You might think that it’s the fact that a majority of Muslims in ’67 Israel spit on the Two-State Solution and that PLO boss Abbas rejected the Oslo Accords in a speech at the United Nations.

And you would be wrong.

None of those things are obstacles to peace. If they were, surely the media would have told us so.

The real threats are the fig, palm and carrot trees around a hiking path near Jerusalem. The true threat to peace comes from the pine trees that shade the kids playing in the water in a Ma’ale Adumim park.

The pine tree, you see, is a Jewish tree.

HERO: Israeli man who subdued a terrorist with his nunchucks after stabbing and trying to steal weapon of soldier. pic.twitter.com/6qYsEWDvds

It was another bloody day of attacks on Israelis, but one civilian hero showed just what a handy pair of nunchucks can do against a terrorist.

According to police, a Palestnian man on a Jerusalem bus stabbed an IDF soldier and attempted to steal his gun.

Enter Jerusalem resident Yair Ben Shabat: “I jumped onto the bus and helped them struggle with the terrorist. I took nunchucks out and hit him where I had to for them to be able to pry loose the weapon he held.”

There is a small but undeniable number who are willing to kill and sometimes die in the cause of imposing their idea of blasphemy on non-Muslims around the world.

The editors signalled that they had had enough of the threats and enough of the danger. They censored themselves.

Today there might be thousands of people willing to publish cartoons of Mohammed on their Twitter accounts, but most of them hide behind aliases and complain about the cowardice of others.

Our societies like to think that terrorism and intimidation do not work. They do — or can — but only if we let them.

Ten years ago, one of the editors of a Danish newspaper called Jyllands-Posten had heard that that no cartoonist in Denmark would depict Islam’s prophet for a set of children’s books on the major world religions. Did such self-censorship really exist in modern Denmark? He sought to find out. So he published a spread of twelve cartoons intended to depict the founder of Islam.

Attacks on the newspaper followed — the most outspoken attempt at enforcing censorship since the death threats against Salman Rushdie for his novel, The Satanic Verses, in 1988, and the murder of Theo van Gogh for his film, Submission, in 2004. The knife in van Gogh’s back also went through a note demanding death threats for Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a Dutch MP at the time, and the Dutch MP, Geert Wilders.

No place is safe from the long arm of Islamic supremacy as Muslims seek to dominate every aspect of our culture. And they do so even when they are in the minority, as when most recently Muslim students at Wichita State University (WSU) managed to apply enough leverage (not that it takes much these days) to turn the university chapel into a Muslim-friendly prayer space (i.e., a mosque).

WSU has a student body of 15,000, the majority of whom are Christian. About 1,000 of the students are Muslim, constituting 6% of the student population. But being a small minority didn’t stop them from taking over the chapel. In fact, they had the backing of university administrators (dhimmis).

A summary of the Fox News report on this story is noted below, with a bit of commentary in parenthesis:

Muslim students pressured the university for a space to pray that would be “faith neutral,” complaining the chapel was a “predominantly Judeo-Christian environment.” (This is how Muslims assert supremacy.)
University administrators catered to their demands, with one administrator stating: “In the spirit of today – there was belief at the time this was discussed that the space was not as flexible for all to feel welcome and included.” (“Spirit of today” = pandering to Muslims. “All” = Muslims. “Welcome and included” = Muslims in, Christians out.)
In the name of inclusivity, faith neutrality, today’s spirit, and ensuring that all feel welcome, the pews, the altar, and Christian religious décor were removed from the chapel. Portable chairs were brought in, making space for Muslim prayer rugs. (This is Islamic supremacy in action. It is not about coexisting in peace, but about supplanting all other religions with their own.)
Some alumni and donors spoke out about the removal of the pews, feeling that went too far, while also expressing confusion as to why they were removed. (If these folks were educated on the core tenets of the Quran, they would not be confused, and they would have been in a better position to speak up sooner and more boldly, perhaps averting this act of Muslim conquest.)
The student body president accused those critical of the renovation of being “Islamophobic.” (Useful idiots are everywhere, but they can be found in particularly high concentrations in colleges and universities. And this was domination, not renovation.)

Israel could not have made the desert bloom without its incredible innovations in water technology. As the world becomes more aware of the importance of conserving water, they are turning to Israel for exports and expertise.
The world is in a water crisis, one that will grow more severe in the coming decade. Water shortages will soon lead to increasing political instability, displacement of populations, and, more likely than not, political unrest and war.

Though this water crisis overlaps with the more widely-discussed problem of climate change, it is different in many ways. It is more acute and more concrete, in that it focuses on a single resource without which humanity cannot live. Its causes are less controversial. Its dimensions are more easily measured. And its catastrophic effects are playing out more clearly and more quickly.

It is also a problem that can be decisively solved without anything remotely resembling the economic restructuring and political acrobatics required to address climate change. Fully effective solutions to the water crisis have already been found. They only need to be implemented.

The world’s water problem is being caused by multiple simultaneous factors: Reduced rainfall, increased population, and the rapid development of impoverished societies have all come together to deplete the amount of water available to humankind. None of these causes are going away. Solutions will come only from changing the way we find and use water.

“…And we should know about Kenda Kesahu and his friends, who chased after the attacker in Petach Tikva, catching and holding him until security forces could arrive. After all, they could have returned home in peace, or taken cover, or fled for their lives. But they understood it was their duty to stop the attacker. Kesahu said, “I really don’t know why they’re calling me a hero. All I wanted was to help save my people.”

The news of another horrific terror attack flickers from the television screen, and out of the darkness emerge stories of people, regular everyday people, who came face to face with a knife or bomb and took action. They fought back. They prevented a larger terrorist attack from happening. They chased, and they caught. Not that it was their job to do so, but they felt a duty. And they were resourceful. And sometimes, in those marvelous moments, all you want to see is the news anchor’s stone face crack just a bit, for her to say with just a bit of pride: Look at us! Look how amazing we are! Just a good word, or two, nothing more.

In August, American Airlines announced that it would be stopping all service to Israel in January 2016. The airline inherited the busy non-stop Philadelphia-Tel Aviv route as part of its recent merger with U.S. Airways. American Airlines explained the cancellation as a financial decision and characterized the route as “unprofitable.” An article in the left-leaning Haaretz contended that the decision was made in order to “deepen ties” with Arab business partners, Qatar Airways and Royal Jordanian, as well as with the carrier for Muslim-majority Malaysia, Malaysia Airlines.
In June, American gave an award for leadership in diversity and inclusion to Mohamed El-Sharkawy, line maintenance training specialist and former Chairman of CAIR Arizona (Council on Arab Islamic Relations).CAIR, a funder of Hamas, is a powerful national subsidiary of the Muslim Brotherhood that has provided Muslim sensitivity training to U.S. national security agencies and the military. In 2007, CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism funding trial in U.S. history – the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial. In November of 2014, the United Arab Emirates named CAIR as a “designated terrorist organization.” from Janet Levy

American Airlines gives former Chairman of the Arizona Chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations an award.
American Airlines recently gave an award to the former Chairman of the Arizona Chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). American Airline’s press release is posted in part below.
FORT WORTH, Texas, June 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ — American Airlines Group has recognized four employees with the 2015 Earl G. Graves Award for Leadership in Diversity and Inclusion for their work in making a lasting impression in the workplace, in the community and as role models in diversity. These employees have made extraordinary efforts to reach out to groups of people within the company and in their surrounding communities, promoting a culture respectful of all genders, races, creeds and abilities.

Mohamed El-Sharkawy, specialist – Line Maintenance Training, Phoenix El-Sharkawy has served as Chairman of the Arizona chapter of the Council on American Islamic Relations for five years, where he encouraged dialogue, protected civil liberties, empowered American Muslims and built coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding. He was instrumental in starting the interfaith, intercultural Bridges Employee Business Resource Group and played an integral role educating crew members on Muslim etiquette in preparation for the airline’s route launch to Tel Aviv, Israel.

American Airlines issued the award to Mohamed El Sharkawy in June 2015 but was not publicly known until it was published in American Airlines’ American Way in September according to Understandingthethreat.com. Interestingly, neither CAIR nor CAIR Arizona reported on American Airlines award to Mohamed. The online search results for “cair.comMohamed El-Sharkawy american airlines” and search results for “cair-az.org Mohamed El-Sharkawy american airlines” indicates that American Airlines award to Muhamed El-Sharkawy was not reported by the Council on American Islamic Relations nor the Arizona Chapter of the Council on America Islamic Relations web sites.
Did American Airlines know the following history regarding CAIR when they awarded Mohamed El-Sharkawy for his work with CAIR Arizona:

The French philosopher Voltaire said, “Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers.”

Today many people have what they believe are strong opinions but all too often have no fact-based reason for their opinions and beliefs. Politicians and con artists (all too often politicians are con artists) know how to exploit the human weakness of people wanting to read into statements and promises made by politicians.

It is vital that Americans shoulder their responsibilities that their position of citizen requires. Nothing should ever be taken at face value. Every statement, especially statements made by politicians must not be taken with the proverbial “grain of salt,” but with an entire salt mine.

There’s been a terror onslaught here in Israel for the last week and a half. Those of us who bother checking foreign media outlets have noticed that there’s relatively little coverage. This is mainly good, since, of course, coverage of Israel’s conflicts with Palestinians and neighbors tends to be quite hostile to Israel.

Still, it raises the question of why interest isn’t greater this time. Those hallowed principles of “If it bleeds, it leads” and “Jews are news” would seem to apply.

True, they don’t apply on the scale of last year’s Gaza war, which drew huge coverage. But that may give a clue as to the explanation.

In that war much larger numbers died than in the current terror onslaught—and given Israel’s superior military capabilities and Hamas’s use of civilians as human shields, they were predominantly on the Palestinian side. A lot of scenes were broadcast from Gaza hospitals. The “text” was: see what the Israelis have done now!

In this current campaign so far, four Israelis have been killed and many more wounded. The number of Palestinians killed is, again, larger—but they were primarily killed by security forces fending off attacks, with few cases of collateral killing of civilians.
