Blog Burst: No-Obama 08



I rarely participate in blog bursts, but I've made an exception in this case because I've rarely opposed the election of any candidate to the office of President of the United States as much as I oppose the election of Barack Hussein Obama:



An informed voter is not only a wise voter, he or she is probably also a good American. In this regard, the press has always been the cornerstone in the foundation of American democracy … that is, until the press became such an advocate of socialism and liberal politics that it can no longer be relied upon to convey "fair and balanced" information.

For this reason, Always On Watch joins with several others in a Noobama08 blog burst each Tuesday of the week until Election Day. If we cannot obtain the truth about our politicians from an unencumbered press, then we'll form a cooperative to distribute information independently.

Stanley Kurtz is a journalist and senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center. Mr. Kurtz' article in the Wall Street Journal explains why Barack Obama is untrustworthy for the office of the President of the United States. He lacks integrity … and if it is one thing we do not need in the White House, it is yet another dishonest politician.

Mr. Kurtz writes:
Despite having authored two autobiographies, Barack Obama has never written about his most important executive experience. From 1995 to 1999, he led an education foundation called the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), and remained on the board until 2001. The group poured more than $100 million into the hands of community organizers and radical education activists.

The CAC was the brainchild of Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground in the 1960s. Among other feats, Mr. Ayers and his cohorts bombed the Pentagon, and he has never expressed regret for his actions. Barack Obama's first run for the Illinois State Senate was launched at a 1995 gathering at Mr. Ayers's home.

The Obama campaign has struggled to downplay that association. Last April, Sen. Obama dismissed Mr. Ayers as just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood," and "not somebody who I exchange ideas with on a regular basis." Yet documents in the CAC archives make clear that Mr. Ayers and Mr. Obama were partners in the CAC. Those archives are housed in the Richard J. Daley Library at the University of Illinois at Chicago and I've recently spent days looking through them.

The Chicago Annenberg Challenge was created ostensibly to improve Chicago's public schools. The funding came from a national education initiative by Ambassador Walter Annenberg. In early 1995, Mr. Obama was appointed the first chairman of the board, which handled fiscal matters. Mr. Ayers co-chaired the foundation's other key body, the "Collaborative," which shaped education policy.

The CAC's basic functioning has long been known, because its annual reports, evaluations and some board minutes were public. But the Daley archive contains additional board minutes, the Collaborative minutes, and documentation on the groups that CAC funded and rejected. The Daley archives show that Mr. Obama and Mr. Ayers worked as a team to advance the CAC agenda.

One unsettled question is how Mr. Obama, a former community organizer fresh out of law school, could vault to the top of a new foundation? In response to my questions, the Obama campaign issued a statement saying that Mr. Ayers had nothing to do with Obama's "recruitment" to the board. The statement says Deborah Leff and Patricia Albjerg Graham (presidents of other foundations) recruited him. Yet the archives show that, along with Ms. Leff and Ms. Graham, Mr. Ayers was one of a working group of five who assembled the initial board in 1994. Mr. Ayers founded CAC and was its guiding spirit. No one would have been appointed the CAC chairman without his approval.

The CAC's agenda flowed from Mr. Ayers's educational philosophy, which called for infusing students and their parents with a radical political commitment, and which downplayed achievement tests in favor of activism. In the mid-1960s, Mr. Ayers taught at a radical alternative school, and served as a community organizer in Cleveland's ghetto.

In works like "City Kids, City Teachers" and "Teaching the Personal and the Political," Mr. Ayers wrote that teachers should be community organizers dedicated to provoking resistance to American racism and oppression. His preferred alternative? "I'm a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist," Mr. Ayers said in an interview in Ron Chepesiuk's, "Sixties Radicals," at about the same time Mr. Ayers was forming CAC.

CAC translated Mr. Ayers's radicalism into practice. Instead of funding schools directly, it required schools to affiliate with "external partners," which actually got the money. Proposals from groups focused on math/science achievement were turned down. Instead, CAC disbursed money through various far-left community organizers, such as the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (or Acorn).

Mr. Obama once conducted "leadership training" seminars with Acorn, and Acorn members also served as volunteers in Mr. Obama's early campaigns. External partners like the South Shore African Village Collaborative and the Dual Language Exchange focused more on political consciousness, Afrocentricity, and bilingualism than traditional education. CAC's in-house evaluators comprehensively studied the effects of its grants on the test scores of Chicago public-school students. They found no evidence of educational improvement.

CAC also funded programs designed to promote "leadership" among parents. Ostensibly this was to enable parents to advocate on behalf of their children's education. In practice, it meant funding Mr. Obama's alma mater, the Developing Communities Project, to recruit parents to its overall political agenda. CAC records show that board member Arnold Weber was concerned that parents "organized" by community groups might be viewed by school principals "as a political threat." Mr. Obama arranged meetings with the Collaborative to smooth out Mr. Weber's objections.

The Daley documents show that Mr. Ayers sat as an ex-officio member of the board Mr. Obama chaired through CAC's first year. He also served on the board's governance committee with Mr. Obama, and worked with him to craft CAC bylaws. Mr. Ayers made presentations to board meetings chaired by Mr. Obama. Mr. Ayers spoke for the Collaborative before the board. Likewise, Mr. Obama periodically spoke for the board at meetings of the Collaborative.

The Obama campaign notes that Mr. Ayers attended only six board meetings, and stresses that the Collaborative lost its "operational role" at CAC after the first year. Yet the Collaborative was demoted to a strictly advisory role largely because of ethical concerns, since the projects of Collaborative members were receiving grants. CAC's own evaluators noted that project accountability was hampered by the board's reluctance to break away from grant decisions made in 1995. So even after Mr. Ayers's formal sway declined, the board largely adhered to the grant program he had put in place.

Mr. Ayers's defenders claim that he has redeemed himself with public-spirited education work. That claim is hard to swallow if you understand that he views his education work as an effort to stoke resistance to an oppressive American system. He likes to stress that he learned of his first teaching job while in jail for a draft-board sit-in. For Mr. Ayers, teaching and his 1960s radicalism are two sides of the same coin.

Mr. Ayers is the founder of the "small schools" movement (heavily funded by CAC), in which individual schools built around specific political themes push students to "confront issues of inequity, war, and violence." He believes teacher education programs should serve as "sites of resistance" to an oppressive system. (His teacher-training programs were also CAC funded.) The point, says Mr. Ayers in his "Teaching Toward Freedom," is to "teach against oppression," against America's history of evil and racism, thereby forcing social transformation.

The Obama campaign has cried foul when Bill Ayers comes up, claiming "guilt by association." Yet the issue here isn't guilt by association; it's guilt by participation. As CAC chairman, Mr. Obama was lending moral and financial support to Mr. Ayers and his radical circle. That is a story even if Mr. Ayers had never planted a single bomb 40 years ago.
To say Mr. Obama is not ready for the presidency is a gross understatement. It is not simply that he lacks experience … it is also that he repudiates traditional American values and culture by embracing Marxist ideology, has been an acolyte of black racist theology, cuddled up with the anarchist activism of Saul Alinski, and even worse … the man is simply and irrevocably dishonest. There is nothing about Barack Obama that may cause us to think he honors American tradition, or share with us our time-honored values.

If the American people elect this man to the presidency, he will certainly destroy the cultural and political fabric of the United States, and when he has finished his work, none of us will recognize what he has left behind: the People's Socialist Republic of the United States.

What Caused The Financial Crisis?

The video is below the fold and worth your time if you haven't already seen it (with a hat-tip to this post at Bob McCarty Writes):




NOTE: If the video fails to play, please see this.

One article in today's Washington Post refers to the bailout plan as "a necessary evil" and terms D.C. Metro area residents' responses as "disgust and disbelief, resignation and relief." Your thoughts?

Note: If you're in need of a wry laugh, please scroll down to see "Your Sunday Funny." After all, laughter is supposedly the best medicine.

About Sarah Palin


I like her. I could list a whole raft of reasons.

But I don't have to make my own list. Last week, I found this list over at Voice of the Pacific, citing an article at Pajamas Media. Therefore, I don't have to come up with a list of my own.

Excerpt:
...* Yes, Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech was written by a speechwriter. Duh. No, none of Obama’s, McCain’s, nor Biden’s speeches were impromptu off the cuff things either.

* Yes, she did put the governor’s plane on eBay. No, that’s not how it was finally sold. Yes, McCain did say it wrong. Bad McCain.

* No, Sarah Palin doesn’t have such control of Alaskans that people are afraid to say bad things about her. (What, are you nuts?...)...
Go read the whole thing. You might learn a few things you didn't already know!

Rum-Flavored Ice Cream Is Offensive



To Moslems, of course, citing a violation of human rights. Even those in prison (hat-tip to Infidel Bloggers Alliance). An apology was demanded and received:
From Weasel Zippers:

UK: Jailed Cleric Abu Hamza Says Human Rights Violated After Being Served Rum Ice Cream, Prison Promptly Apologizes.....

Hate preacher Abu Hamza claimed his human rights were breached because he was served rum ice cream in prison.

The hook-handed cleric, 50, said the sweet broke halal rules because it contained alcohol.

A source at top-security Belmarsh jail in Woolwich, South East London, said: “It’s utterly barmy and a massive over-reaction — most prisoners would see it as a treat.

Other notorious terrorists in the jail — including dirty bomber Dhiren Barot, 35 — have joined the protest.

It is backed by a website linked to controversial lawyer Mudassar Arani.

The site said: “Muslims were provided with rum ice cream. This obviously contains alcohol and therefore could not possibly be deemed compatible with the Islamic faith.”

It also claimed that Muslims were given yoghurt containing traces of unsuitable products.

The site urged inmates to write to their MPs to complain their rights are being breached.

A Prison Service spokesman said yesterday: “Regrettably, non-halal food was offered in error. It was quickly substituted with appropriate halal alternatives.”

And who is Abu Hamza? He's the jihadomaniac with hooks for hands and a destroyed left eye. Read about him here and here. Note that he is the leader of the Supporters of Sharia group in the UK.

After all Abu Hamza has done to promote terrorism, he's worried about some rum flavoring in his ice cream?

Pelosi Looks Sick (With Addendum)

The photo below the fold was splashed all over the front page of today's Washington Post and accompanied this article, entitled "Citing Grave Financial Threats, Officials Ready Massive Rescue: Lawmakers Work With Fed, Treasury To Try to Restore The Flow of Money."

-------

The picture shows, from left to right, Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson, Nancy Pelosi, and Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. The Speaker of the House certainly is wearing a dour expression. I suspect that part of the reason for that stare is the realization that votes are at stake. As I'm fond of saying, "Never trust any politician because all that a politician is truly worried about is getting votes."

Meanwhile, we have Vice-Presidential candidate Joe Biden spouting off about the patriotic nature of paying more taxes. That may not garner him many votes. We'll find out in on Election Day.

How did our financial infrastructure get into such a mess? Check out Mustang's latest essay, "It's the Spending, Stupid" for some cogent thoughts on the matter. I would add that Americans have, as a whole, taken enormous financial risks and, at the same time, ignored the possibility of a shrinking flow of money.

Our nation has been running on debt for decades. Citizens have also come to depend upon entitlement programs. Furthermore, in this election year, the state of our economy is a political football.

In my view, there is no quick fix for the state of our ailing economy. I know that I've tightened my belt until it's rubbing my backbone. Is our government doing the same?

Addendum received via email (Thanks, Robert!):
“[Barack] Obama... blamed the shocking new round of subprime-related bankruptcies on the free-market system, and specifically the ‘trickle-down’ economics of the Bush administration, which he tried to gig opponent John McCain for wanting to extend. But it was the Clinton administration, obsessed with multiculturalism, that dictated where mortgage lenders could lend, and originally helped create the market for the high-risk subprime loans now infecting like a retrovirus the balance sheets of many of Wall Street’s most revered institutions. Tough new regulations forced lenders into high-risk areas where they had no choice but to lower lending standards to make the loans that sound business practices had previously guarded against making. It was either that or face stiff government penalties. The untold story in this whole national crisis is that President Clinton put on steroids the Community Redevelopment Act, a well-intended Carter-era law designed to encourage minority homeownership. And in so doing, he helped create the market for the risky subprime loans that he and Democrats now decry as not only greedy but ‘predatory.’ Yes, the market was fueled by greed and overleveraging in the secondary market for subprimes, vis-a-vis mortgaged-backed securities traded on Wall Street. But the seed was planted in the ‘90s by Clinton and his social engineers.” —Investor’s Business Daily

Weekly Blog Talk Radio: September 19 — Max Publius & Glen Jenvey (with video addendum)

(Scroll down for two more new posts today. Also, discussions are still in progress at recent postings. Enjoy! I'll be back after work)

Listen to The Gathering Storm Radio Show, which WC and I cohost. The show broadcasts live every Friday beginning at noon, Pacific Time.

The call-in number is (646) 915-9870.

Callers welcome!

Friday, September 19 (90 minutes): Max Publius of the blog Brave News World will be with us during the first half hour. Our guest at the bottom of the hour is Glen Jenvey. Read his bio HERE. His web site is Al Qaida-Exposed, which offers numerous videos and articles related to Mr. Jenvey's undercover work in combating terrorism.
------
1. Max Publius, a veteran, will discuss with us inversionism, the process in which an ideological group finds to its horror it has allied with or even become the "boogyman" it has assailed previously and his views about the Iraq War, in which he served in our military.

2. Brief bio of Glen Jenvey from Global Politican:
Glen Jenvey worked for several military attachés covering terrorist groups, including al-Qaida and their members in Britain. His sting led to the capture of Abu Hamza al-Masri, a major terrorist. Multiple other terrorists were also caught due to his efforts. He has been profiled and interviewed in major media across the globe, including in the US, UK, Russia, India, etc. He co-authored the book "War of the Web" with Jeremy Reynalds.
Mr. Jenvey also appeared as an interviewee in the film Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against The West.

The following YouTube video shows what the UK is up against with the Wahhabists, and Mr. Jenvey will explain further:

Film: The Third Jihad: Radical Islam's Vision For America

The trailer is HERE.

From the film's web site:
The Third Jihad focuses on an FBI-discovered secret document—the manifesto of the American Muslim Brotherhood. It describes the 'grand jihad' goal of destroying Western civilization from within by infiltrating and dominating North America.

The film reveals the agenda of the radical Muslim leaders in America and provides viewers with an impressively crafted look at the immediate dangers posed.

The Third Jihad © 2008 Clarion Fund. All rights reserved.
Additional information at the above link.

Note the connection with THIS (Keep an eye out for your free copy!), THIS, and THIS.

My preference is the completely politically-incorrect film Islam: What the West Needs to Know (available at Amazon and at YouTube). But Obsession: Radical Islam's War against the West and The Third Jihad are good places to start for the uninitiated.

Anti-Dhimmitude In Grand Island, Nebraska

(Follow up to this story)

The JBS Swift Company gave in to Moslems' demands for Ramadan.

The next day, other workers at the facility aren't taking kindly to the company's dhimmitude:
...[A]ll the other workers of all cultures and nationalities have walked out in protest, just as they had in Greeley, CO nearly two weeks ago.
A compromise reached to accommodate prayer for about 500 Somalian meatpacking plant workers in Grand Island led to a counter protest of even more workers at the JBS Swift & Co. plant Wednesday.

Workers including Caucasians, Hispanics, Vietnamese, and African-Americans walked out after clocking in on the B shift shortly after 3 p.m. [A commenter to this news story says that the Sudanese were not with the Somalis, but with this group of counter-demonstrators]

The objection — a change in the break schedule that leaves B shift workers shorted of hours Monday through Friday and forces them to work Saturday to earn at least 40 hours of pay.

“The Somalians say they can only work three hours after sunset, so we’re supposed to work 7.3 hours a day Monday through Friday,” said Naomi Jakubowski. “We’re supposed to come in and make up the time on Saturday or be shorted at just 36 hours.”

“I don’t want to sacrifice my Saturdays with my kids — and I can’t raise ‘em on 36 hours of pay,” she said. “I’ve got rent, food and diapers to buy.”
Go read the rest at Refugee Resettlement Watch. Ann has much more information.

Saudi Issues A TV Fatwa

Graphic: The Fatwa Pig

From this source, on the business page of Yahoo! News, on September 12, 2008:
Top cleric in Saudi judiciary: it's OK to kill owners of TV networks airing 'immoral content'

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) -- Saudi Arabia's top judiciary official has issued a religious decree saying it is permissible to kill the owners of satellite TV networks that broadcast immoral content.
In the past, Al-Lihedan called upon Saudis to fight against American forces in Iraq. Now he's moved his jihad-by-fatwa to the media.

Will Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal find himself under the shadow of a fatwa? After all, the prince owns Rotana, the most popular of the Arabic satellite networks.

Anyway, just wait until more Moslems invest in Western satellite systems. Censorship will take center stage.

And think of all the shows you like, the shows that you will no longer be able to watch. Remember: Sayyed Qutb found the crooners' song "Baby, It's Cold Outside" immoral. The Moslem perception of immorality differs from that of the West's.

Yet one more reason to be determined that we infidels win!

(Crossposted to Infidel Bloggers Alliance)

Note: Since I queued up this posting last week, due to some controversy, the aforementioned member of the Saudi judiciary has qualified his remarks:
Sheik Saleh al-Lihedan, the chief of the kingdom's highest tribunal, the Supreme Judiciary Council, appeared on government-run Saudi TV in an apparent attempt to calm the controversy his comments triggered.

[...]

But yesterday, he appeared to tone down his view. He said if owners continued to show the programmes they could be executed in the due process of law.
There, isn't that better and quite toned down? **snerk**

McCain Doesn't Use A Computer (Bumped)

Have you seen one of Obama's campaign ads, the one about how John McCain doesn't type or send email? Well, McCain can't type for a particular reason.

Take note, all Americans with disabilities and all families with members who have disabilities!

From this March 4, 2000 article in the Boston Globe, via this posting by Reliapundit of THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS:
...McCain's severe war injuries prevent him from combing his hair, typing on a keyboard, or tying his shoes....
How many gaffes is Obama going to make before November 4? Enough to cost Obama the election? Maybe, just maybe.

JBS Swift & Company: The Rest Of The Story

You may have heard about what happened last week at the Swift packing plant in Greeley, Colorado:
A complaint by Somali workers earlier this week that they weren’t getting early enough break times to accommodate religious fasting snowballed into worker protests at the JBS Swift & Co. plant Friday.

Employees from both early and late shifts converged in the afternoon in front of the human resources office at the north Greeley plant.
An encouraging bit of anti-dhimmitude, right?

So, what's the rest of the story?

From this posting at Refugee Resettlement Watch and role of Greeley, Colorado in the birth of Al Qaeda:
Sayed Qtub had come for a visit:
Communism had Karl Marx. Al Qaedaism has Sayed Qtub. Who’s he, most people would ask. The ideology that nurtured modern Islamic extremism, and spawned every violent movement from Hezbollah to al Qaeda, was born in 1952 when Qtub, an Egyptian writer, returned from studying American literature at the University of Northern Colorado in Greeley, Colo.

The tipping point from detached observer to extremist ideologue took place at a church dance in Greeley when, as Qtub recalled in “The America I Saw,” the pastor dimmed the lights and put on the come-hither number “Baby, It’s Cold Outside,” a hit tune from the MGM movie “Neptune’s Daughter” — a guy, girl and bathing suit lemon — with Esther Williams and Ricardo Montalban.

“The room,” Qtub wrote “became a confusion of feet and legs; arms twisted around hips; lips met lips; chests pressed together,” That was the scene that turned him off American culture in particular and Western culture in general — and onto Islamic fundamentalism.
Read more here and consider how Greeley could just be an excellent target city in which Shariah might be planted in America. The irony.
And the symbolism!

MTP'S Words: "Truly Despicable"

So says an administrator at USC (via this at Jihad Watch):
...[A] university administrator has gone on record calling words of the prophet of Islam "despicable." This is an astounding departure from the political correctness that shackles our universities today, and opens the door for more pressure to be placed on Muslim groups in the United States to renounce, in deed as well as in word, the doctrines of jihad violence and Islamic supremacism.
The third IslamoFascism Awareness Week, "Stop the Jihad on Campus," is coming up October 13-17. As a result, or not, the Muslim Students Association of USC agreed to the removal of the following passages from the university's Hadith collection from the school's web site:
Book 041, Number 6981:

Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You will fight against the Jews and you will kill them until even a stone would say: Come here, Muslim, there is a Jew (hiding himself behind me) ; kill him.

Book 041, Number 6982:

Ubaidullah has reported this hadith with this chain of transmitters (and the Words are):" There is a Jew behind me."

Book 041, Number 6983:

Abdullah b. 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: You and the Jews would fight against one another until a stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; come and kill him.

Book 041, Number 6984:

Abdullah b. 'Umar reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: The Jews will fight against you and you will gain victory over them until the stone would say: Muslim, here is a Jew behind me; kill him.

Book 041, Number 6985:

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.
Of course, as Robert Spencer points out, those words are available elsewhere. Nevertheless, the removal of the passages is a small victory for the counter-jihad movement:
The texts exist all over the place. You can find them online here and elsewhere. A taqiyya artist would have to have a deeply naive and stupid audience (of course, there are plenty of such audiences for taqiyya artists) to convince them that because these ahadith do not appear on one site, that Muslims reject them or that they do not exist.

The point here is that for the first time that I know of, a university administrator has gone on record calling words of the prophet of Islam "despicable." This is an astounding departure from the political correctness that shackles our universities today, and opens the door for more pressure to be placed on Muslim groups in the United States to renounce, in deed as well as in word, the doctrines of jihad violence and Islamic supremacism.
Of course, some Moslem groups are upset. From this at Muslims Against Sharia, citing this article in the Daily Trojan, the student newspaper of USC:
Members of the Muslim Student Union, which is the dominant Muslim student organization on campus but which is not associated with the MSA, declined to be interviewed... [and called] Nikias' actions "unprecedented and unconscionable" and said they amounted to unwarranted censorship....

"We are outraged at the censorship of a complete religious and classic text without consulting us or any religious authority first," the group said in the statement. "The 'compendium' is now incomplete....
Pot calls kettle black! Moslems complaining about censorship!

UPDATE showing what happens when a girl tries to seek a divorce under Islamic law (Thanks, Chuck!):
Girl Forced to Marry at Nine Murdered After She Sought Annulment

Saturday , September 06, 2008

A 17-year-old Pakistani girl forced to marry a 45-year-old when she was only nine was reportedly killed by her parents...

The murder has intensified despair among human rights workers in Pakistan over a recent spate of "honor killings," in which two women and three teenage school girls were buried alive in Baluchistan Province because they wanted to marry the men of their choice.

Saira Nusrat Bibi was successfully fighting a legal battle to have her marriage annulled. As she left court in the Punjabi city of Sahiwal, she was surrounded by a group of men reportedly sent by her parents, and shot in front of police...
Weep for Saira Nusrat Bibi and for all the other girl children trapped by the barbarism of shari'a law. Pray that the beautiful child in the video posted above doesn't meet the same end as Saira Nusrat Bibi.

CAIR Flunks Out

And at taxpayers' expense, too.
-------
From this September 1, 2008 article by Patrick Poole:
The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) released their annual school report cards this week, and the results show that two taxpayer-financed Islamic charter schools operated by officials of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) have failed miserably yet again. But protected by powerful political connections, including Ohio Governor Ted Strickland and Columbus Mayor Michael Coleman, and apparently indifferent to their exploitation of the Somali children that comprise the vast majority of their students, the Islamic extremists running the operation appear to have no fear of losing their cash cows. In fact, Ohio educrats have renewed one school’s contract after five years of complete academic failure.

The two schools, International Academy and Westside Academy, are run by a group of local Islamic leaders, including CAIR national board vice chairman Ahmad Al-Akhras, CAIR-Columbus president and CAIR-Ohio board member Abukar Arman, and Islamic Society of Greater Columbus president and imam Mouhamed Tarazi (who serves as principal of one of the schools). At one time or another, all have served on the board of the local private Islamic school in Central Ohio, Sunrise Academy.
[about which I recently posted at Infidel Bloggers Alliance and thereby created quite a stir in the comments section there]

[...]

...[S]ince International Academy opened, it has never met the state’s required “adequate yearly progress” standard and has never met more than two of the state indicators. Looking at the past three years of academic performance data, we find in four of the seven tested areas, test scores declined last year from the previous year.

The second school, Westside Academy, appears to be following in its older brother’s failing footsteps. Their state report card shows that they met state standards in one area — attendance. Across all grade levels and subjects, less than 20 percent of their students rated proficient or better. In one subject area, 3rd grade math, the school achieved zero percent proficiency....
Both schools do excel in Islamic extremism, however. Read page 2 of Patrick Poole's article HERE. How much of the same hate-filled ideology is being taught in other Islamic schools all over the United States?

We Americans look across The Pond and think to ourselves, often smugly, that the UK's dhimmitude and lack of measures to control Wahhabist infiltration are the height of stupidity and that we will never let the same happen here. But some signs indicate that we already are allowing the same to happen here.

Defending The Indefensible

Moslems excel at defending barbarism.

From the August 31, 2008 edition of the Washington Post comes this buried item:
PAKISTAN

Honor Killings Defended

A Pakistani lawmaker defended a decision by southwestern tribesmen to bury five women alive because they wanted to choose their own husbands, telling stunned members of Parliament to spare him their outrage.

"These are centuries-old traditions, and I will continue to defend them," Israr Ullah Zehri, who represents Baluchistan province, said Saturday. "Only those who indulge in immoral acts should be afraid."

The women, three of whom were teenagers, were first shot and then thrown into a ditch.

They were still breathing as their bodies were covered with rocks and mud, according to news reports and human rights activists.
Okay, so maybe there are news reports out there in the mainstream media, and maybe human rights activists are outraged.

But the story gets nil coverage on the evening news.

Why is that? Where is the outcry?

Can't you imagine the coverage were such barabarity practiced and defended by Jews or Christians, particularly those in a political position?

Islam: Stuck in the Seventh Century. And Islam will continue to be stuck there as long as the mainstream media ignore such stories and continue the whitewash of Islam.
