Hate Crimes Equals Thought Persecution: A Review


Lets review.

When was the last time a White person was a victim of a hate Crime?

I thought in America we’re all supposed to have equal justice under the law? But, that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.

Only certain groups of people are set aside as potential Hate Crime victims: Blacks, Gays, Latinos and the latest inclusion Liberals are all too eager to highlight-Muslims, the chic religion of The Left.

But, I still can’t figure why we needed hate crime laws in the first place when there are other laws on the books to cover every incident associated with the hate crime.

Here in New York City, some poor cabbie got stabbed by a perpetrator for allegedly being a Muslim.

But, why isn’t attempted murder or assault with a deadly weapon sufficient to cover the incident? Who really cares what the alleged assailant had on his mind at the time of the crime?

Liberal Progressives are the ones who care about hate crimes because they are the inventors of it. Each violation makes a political statement and an assertion that certain victims of crimes deserve special consideration. It’s a case of affirmative action for the penal code. If you commit a crime against these people, then you must be automatically assumed without proof before a court of law that you must be a bigot, a homophobe or ijn the case of the cabbie--an Islamophobe.

Shouldn’t Daisy Kahn also be prosecuted for accusing opponents of the GZ Mosque of being Islamophobes? I think that kind of rhetoric could have contributed to pushing this nut case who stabbed the cabbie over the edge.

Will the D.A. file charges for that?

Or is it a case of selective justice and inequality under the law?

Andy McCarthy’s Ground Zero Thought Experiment Demonstrates a Clash of Liberal and Conservative World Views


Andy McCarthy does more than just write for The National Review.

He was a former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He’s a doer and a patriot who led the 1995 terrorism prosecution against the 1993 World Trade Center bombers.

That makes Andy a real here in my book in the battlefield for the thoughts and minds of the American people.

Andy poses this scenario:

Imagine that there really were these fundamentalist Christian terror cells all over the United States, as the Department of Homeland Security imagines.

Let’s say a group of five of these terrorists hijacked a plane, flew it to Mecca, and plowed it into the Kaaba.

Now let’s say a group of well-meaning, well-funded Christians — Christians whose full-time job was missionary work — decided that the best way to promote healing would be to pressure the Saudi government to drop its prohibition against permitting non-Muslims into Mecca so that these well-meaning, well-funded Christian missionaries could build a $100 million dollar church and community center a stone’s throw from where the Kaaba used to be — you know, as a bridge-building gesture of interfaith understanding.

What do you suppose President Obama, Mayor Bloomberg, the New York Times, and other Ground Zero mosque proponents would say about the insensitive, provocative nature of the proposal?

Do you think the State Department would make the leader of the Christian missionaries a special emissary and send him to represent the United States on diplomatic business overseas?

What do you suppose the Saudi reaction would be?

What do you suppose those ecumenical GZ mosque proponents at Hamas would say?

What do you suppose Pope Benedict and other Christian leaders would say?

What do you suppose imam Feisal Rauf and his friends at CAIR, the Islamic Society of North America, the International Institute of Islamic Thought, and the various other Muslim Brotherhood affiliates would say?

How would building the church/community center in Mecca affect Saudi Arabia’s standing in imam Rauf’s
Sharia Index Project?


Here’s the typical Liberal reaction from the Mahablog: Making the World Safe for Liberalism

“What disturbs me about this analogy, however, is the unspoken assumption that Americans shouldn’t be expected to value religious liberty and tolerance toward Muslims if Saudis don’t value religious liberty and tolerance toward Christians (the Western default religion).

What the righties don’t get is that the Cordoba House/Park 51 controversy is not about Islam, but about America. What are our values? What are our principles? What does America stand for? And do we maintain those values and principles through thick and thin, or do we chuck them under the bus whenever something frightens us?”

When a Liberal talks about values its pretty much a joke because they hold none for themselves.

Their values are tied to what’s popular at the moment or being defenders of groups they deem need their protection i.e. blacks, gays, or any group they see as oppressed.

Muslims are the new blacks.

Their values are arbitrary and transient.

But, let’s get away from theory and discuss hard cold reality. There’s been a lot written about the Ground Zero Mosque controversy. You’ve heard that it’s a question of religious freedom and that’s an absolutely false claim meant to divert attention away from what’s really at the heart of the matter.

Cliff at Another Black Conservative said the following: “We’re of the generation that will have to make a difference. The Islamaphaction of Europe was a long time in coming. It was like watching a slow motion train wreck. The same tactics used over there will be employed here unless we all rise up. The battle over the GZM is a hopeful sign.”

Cliff nailed it!

America knows that Great Britain has had Sharia Courts since 1982 and look what has happened to that once great nation?

British government leaders chose the Liberal point of view and instead of insisting that British Muslims assimilate to British culture and laws, they accommodated them and gave them a separate court system and in essence created a bi-lateral Muslim state within Britain.

That’s the path they chose.

Estimates are by 2025 Great Britain will be a majority Muslim country because of Liberalism.

Do you think Liberals mind if the same thing happened here in the United States?

Gimmie a break!

They would welcome it because America had it coming, in their view.

Do we draw the line in the sand or not?

'Ground Zero' Imam’s Nose is Growing: Says He Wants to Americanize Islam = Bullshit


Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a fraud!

His aim is to slowly integrate the acceptance of Sharia Law within the United States and destroy American culture from within.

Make no mistake that is the goal of the Muslim community and President Obama. They want to do here what they’ve already accomplished in Europe.




The New York Post reports that the imam behind the plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero surfaced yesterday far from the controversy -- in Bahrain, where he's on a taxpayer-funded trip to the Middle East to spread good will.

Appearing in public for the first time in weeks,
Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf, speaking at a mosque near Bahrain's capital of Manama, said he wants to "Americanize" Islam -- but dodged questions about the uproar over his planned mosque and community center.

Rauf spoke against fanaticism, saying, "This issue of extremism is something that has been a national-security issue -- not only for the United States but also for many countries and nations in the Muslim world."


"This is why this particular trip has a great importance because all countries in the Muslim world -- as well as the Western world -- are facing this . . . major security challenge," Rauf told Associated Press Television News in a brief interview.

The cleric also said he was working on a way to "Americanize Islam," but didn't offer any details.
Rauf noted that many different interpretations of the faith have emerged over the last 1,400 years.

"The same principles and rituals were everywhere, but what happened in different regions was there were different interpretations," he said.

"So we recognize that our heritage allows for re-expressing the internal principles of our religion in different cultural times and places."

Some of the imam's American critics said they fear he is using the State Department-sponsored trip to raise money and rally support in the Muslim world for the mosque.

"I think there is no place for this," said the Rev. Franklin Graham, who is the son of evangelist
Billy Graham and opposes the Ground Zero mosque.

"Can you imagine if the
State Department paid to send me on a trip anywhere? The separation of church and state -- the critics would have been howling."

What happened to the island of Poth?

One day on the island of Poth, a stranger washed up ashore. He said he came from an island named Toll, but he left it for a better life.

“Everybody says that Poth is the land of opportunity,” the stranger said, “I want some for myself and there are plenty of others like me that want to come here.”

The Pothians in government said, “Sure come one come all.”

So they came.

First one, then two, then six and more.

But, the wisest and oldest citizen of Poth said this warning, “Let then come, sure. But, these new people have to learn the ways of being Pothian. They have to learn our language, our beliefs, and our customs. These are the very things that has made Poth what she is. This is what has made us exceptional. If we lose that, then Poth dies from within. Our destruction comes without war!”

But younger Pothians in government called the old man foolish and his thinking out-dated, and even bigoted.

So the Tollites continued to come to Poth.

They kept their language and their customs and told Pothians that their ways were offensive to them.

“We thought Pothians were not bigoted. That’s has always been your reputation. Has this been a lie all along?”

And the Pothians not wanting to be labeled bigots gave in.

In time Poth changed.

It became a place of strife and entitlement because other groups came with their own language, customs, demands and no one wanted to live as Pothian.

And as time went by no one remembered the old ways of Poth that made her the envy of the world.

Then a man was fishing in the ocean and saw a stranger bobbing in the water. He pulled him into his boat.

“Thank you so much!” the stranger said, “I thought I would drown for sure.”

“Where are you from?” asked the fisherman.

“I an from Poth and I seek a better life. Take me to your island.”

Then man picked up the stranger from Poth and threw him back into the water.

American Parable: A Story of Islamic Values in America


Lincoln, Nebraska in the year 2110

Alice, age 14, said to her parents, “I’m converting to Islam!”

“What!” her father replied.

“But, this is a Christian house?” her mother said with tears welling in her eyes.

The next morning Alice’s parents went to see their pastor.

“We just have to pray for Alice,” the pastor, “Jesus will bring her back to us. Nothing is impossible for Him.”

Alice’s parents both agreed and the three of hem joined in prayer as the tears continued to flow from both her parents.

Naget, age 14, said to her parents, “I’m converting to Christianity!”

“What!” her father replied

Her mother stood silent.

The next morning, Naget was leaving for school. She said goodbye to her parents, but they ignored her and turned their backs.

She met up with her girlfriends that were waiting for her in front of her house. Other neighbors were either leaving for school or going to work.

The street was filled with people.

“Naget!” her father yelled, “You forgot your lunch!”

“I’ll be right back,” Nagat told her friends.

She jogged back to the front of her house where her father was holding a brown paper bag.

“Thanks Daddy,”

Her father pulled back the bag, swung an ax and chopped off Naget’s head for everyone to see.

“Allahu Akbar” he said.

“She had it coming,” one of her friends said.

“Yeah, what was she thinking? This is America.”

"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." (Edmund Burke)

Do you want Sharia Law for America?

Muslims in this country including the Imam behind the Ground Zero Mosque does. Sharia courts already exist in European countries and they want to bring it here.

Take a stand for our Constitution that believes in equal justice for all Americans. Otherwise this parable will become a reality.

Ronald Reagan Has an Answer for Micheal Daly on Ground Zero Mosque

“We have glorified Al Qaeda in the same way, but to reach its ultimate goal, it still needs us to convince the majority of Muslims that the war on terror is really a war on Islam.

We are only helping the bad guys if we declare that the religious freedom at the core of our democracy does not apply to a mosque too close to Ground Zero.”
Michael Daly
New York Daily News



I can’t say it much better than Ronald Reagan.

What Micheal Daly and Liberals like him don’t understand is that we have real enemies that don’t necessarily have to carry bombs.

Troughout history Muslims have built mosques in lands they have conquered. And that’s exactly why they want to build that mosque in that location.

And if we let ourselvesd stick our heads in the sand like Micheal Daly and others like him suggest, then we desrve what we invite.

Sarah Palin Asks Quenstions the Mainstream Media Dare Not Put to President Obama Concerning the Ground Zero Mosque


It’s been said that the Left recognizes strong Conservative Republicans better than the Republican Party.

That’s why they attack Sarah Palin so much!

She has the courage to speak the language of conservatism in a climate that has tried so hard to make it a dirty word.

But, conservatism wins elections!

If you want proof, look at all the Democrats that ran as conservatives in 2008 and especially now in the 2010 mid-terms since they can’t run on the Obama record.

We need more Republicans with the same kind of balls Sarah Palin, Jan Brewer, and Michele Bachmann has. I say this purposely to shame current GOP leadership I find very lacking.

On FaceBook Sarah Palin fires away with: Mr. President, should they or should they not build a mosque steps away from where radical Islamists killed 3000 people? Please tell us your position. We all know that they have the right to do it, but should they?

And, no, this is not above your pay grade.

If those who wish to build this Ground Zero mosque are sincerely interested in encouraging positive "cross-cultural engagement" and dialogue to show a moderate and tolerant face of Islam, then why haven't they recognized that the decision to build a mosque at this particular location is doing just the opposite?

Mr. President, why aren't you encouraging the mosque developers to accept Governor Paterson's generous offer of assistance in finding a new location for the mosque on state land if they move it away from Ground Zero?

Why haven't they jumped at this offer?

CNN Poll: Nearly 70% of Americans Oppose Ground Zero Mosque


Let me remind you folks that this is a CNN poll, so the numbers are probably significantly higher.
That’s how much President Obama is out-of-step with the American people.

This is not a freedom of religion issue as Democrats so desperately try to portray. There are over 20 mosques in New York City.

But, the community of lower Manhattan and the 911 families don’t want a Victory Mosque built near sacred ground. And as this poll shows, America agrees with them!

The Hill reports that a large majority of Americans oppose the construction of a mosque near the Ground Zero site in lower Manhattan, according to a poll released Wednesday.

The CNN/Opinion Research survey showed that 68 percent oppose the plan to build the mosque, compared to 29 percent who favor it.

Several Republicans in Congress have called for an investigation into the funding sources for the proposed Cordoba House, which will stand two blocks from Ground Zero. Members are worried that some money for the large facility comes from organizations with ties to Islamic extremists.

Other lawmakers, such as New York Rep. Pete King (R), have said that the construction of the mosque is insensitive in light of its location, the site of the 9/11 terror attacks perpetrated by members of al Qaeda.

A majority of all political groups polled oppose the mosque. Forty-three percent of Democrats support it and 54 percent say they are opposed. Eighty-two percent of Republicans are against the mosque, as opposed to just 17 percent who support it.

A whopping 70 percent of independents are against the mosque, compared to 24 percent who support it.

Backers of the mosque say that blocking its construction would violate constitutional protections of religious freedom. The Cordoba Initiative, the group behind the project, says it wants to use the center to promote a peaceful brand of Islam.

Still, a number of groups, including the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), have come out against it.

State Dept Funding Imam Rauf’s Trip to Raise Money for Ground Zero Mosque


Picture this.

The U.S. State Dept. under a Republican president decided to send Joel Olsteen or T.D. Jakes on a trip to foster a greater understanding about Christianity around the world?

What do you think Liberals will say jumping out of their skins?

“You can’t do that! That’s a violation of the separation between Church and State! It’s unconstitutional for the government to promote religion!

Well, that doesn’t seem to apply to the Muslim faith and the Obama administration. And to boot lets help a controversial Imam raise a little money for a mosque at Ground Zero in the process.

America, do you feel your intelligence being insulted and you’re pocket picked?

The New York Post is reporting that the imam behind a plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero is set to depart on a multi-country jaunt to the Middle East funded by the State Department -- raising concerns that taxpayers may be helping him with the controversial project's $100 million fund-raising goal.

Feisal Abdul Rauf is taking the publicly funded trip to foster "greater understanding" about Islam and Muslim communities in the United States, the State Department confirmed yesterday.

"He is a distinguished Muslim cleric," said State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley, when asked about the journey, reportedly to include stops in Saudi Arabia, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Bahrain and Qatar.

"I think we are in the process of arranging for him to travel as part of this program, and it is to foster a greater understanding about the region around the world among Muslim-majority communities," he added.

Crowley said no fund-raising for the mosque and cultural center during the trip would be permitted.

"That would not be something he could do as part of our program," he said.

"Does the State Department have any idea they are sending a guy to the Middle East who is going to be fund-raising perhaps among the very same people he will be meeting with?" asked Debra Burlingame, a 9/11 family member.

Monkey Wrench in Ground Zero Mosque: Developer Owns Only Half the Site Half Baked Mosque


When you act shady, you eventually get caught! There’s more to this sleazy mosque deal that meets the eye.

Like Yogi Berra once said, “It ain’t over, until it’s over!”

New York Post

Not so fast.

The developers of the controversial mosque proposed near Ground Zero own only half the site where they want to construct the $100 million building, The Post has learned.

One of the two buildings on Park Place is owned by Con Edison, even though Soho Properties told officials and the public that it owns the entire parcel.

And any potential sale by Con Ed faces a review by the state Public Service Commission.

“We never heard anything about Con Ed whatsoever,” said a stunned Julie Menin, the chairwoman of Community Board 1, which passed a May resolution supporting the mosque
Daisy Khan, one of the mosque’s organizers, told The Post last week that both buildings on Park Place are needed to house the worship and cultural center.


But she claimed ignorance about the Con Ed ownership of 49-51 Park Place and referred questions to Soho Properties, which bought the building at 45-47 Park Place in 2009.

Rep. Peter King, who opposes the mosque, said the developers seemed to be “operating under false pretenses.”

“I wonder what else they are hiding,” said King (R-LI). “If we can’t have the full truth on this, what can we believe?”

Mike Bloomberg Shouldn’t Cast Aspersions on Those Who Do Not Support Ground Zero Mosque


Question: What is the difference between ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya and Mayor Mike Bloomberg of New York?

Answer: Zelaya, a Hugo Chavez protégée, wanted to change his country’s constitution that mandated he leave office after his term was over. He was unsuccessful in his bid to stay in power and was rightly and legally thrown out of Honduras on his butt.

The New York City charter mandated that Mike Bloomberg can only serve two terms in office. It was a measure that was voted and passed by the residents of New York City.

However, Bloomberg just like the communist Zelaya, wanted to stay in office and he used his substantial power and influence through people he appointed to disregard the will of millions of New Yorkers and rewrote the charter to make him eligible to run again.

It was a selfish and insentive power grab by Bloomberg who put his own personal ambition over the will of the people.

So, Mike Bloomberg should be the last person on God’s green earth to point a finger at anyone and pronouce that they should be ashamed for not supporting the building of a mosque at Ground Zero.

Bloomberg is an elitist Liberal whose only saving grace for the city of New York is that he’s half a fiscal conservative. And half of that is better than a full fledged big tax, big spending liberal which is the norm for North East.

But, Bloomberg who won re-election to a 3rd term in office with only 51% of the vote despite spending millions of his own money, totally lacks the moral authority to cast aspirations on anyone who can breath in his presences without choking on bile.

Hypocrisy, thy name is Mike Bloomberg and the shame is on him!

Pamela Geller at Ground Zero Rally Against Ground Zero Mosque


Pamela Geller



Pamela Geller of Atlas Shruggs is a front line soldier against the Islamazation of America. You only have to look no further than Europe to see what has happened. England and Germany have become Englandstan and Germanstan.

Through polical correctness, Isamists don’t need bombs to accomplish the same mission, convert the infidel to Islam and make the United States “Sharria Law” compliant.

In Britain separate and apart sharia courts have been established. And they want to do the same thing here in the United States.


You better recognize what’s happening.
