Chicago-area Muslims threaten, intimidate local residents after mosque proposal rejected

May 17, 2012 – 4:50 pm
After this week's huge victory in DuPage County, where the town rejected a Mosque/Islamic center in a house on quiet residential street, some of the ongoing stories of abuse and intimidation are finally being told. I am not publishing the names of the victims -- they have to live there, and the Muslims make their lives miserable. The Islamic Center of Western Suburbia (ICWS) wants special accommodation and special permission to put a mosque and Islamic Center on a small, quiet residential street in pastoral DuPage. Their request for a conditional use permit for this rabat was rightly denied this week. CWS vs DuPage Cnty: Early on one of the neighbors reported she was out in her yard and one of the Muslims asked her "Do you have insurance on your house?  She asked why he wanted to know that and he said "You never know what might happen."  She had been complaining to the County ...

Help us stop this madness!

May 16, 2012 – 9:26 pm
Dear Michael, ISNA is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization and unindicted co-conspirator in the largest terrorism financing trial in America. CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) is mailing letters to law enforcement offices across America demanding to see how they conduct counterterrorism training, and offering to “review and improve” their counterterrorism training materials. CAIR is a Muslim Brotherhood front organization connected to Hamas, and an unindicted co-conspirator in the same trial. The Pentagon recently announced that it’s reviewing its training materials to eliminate “offensive” statements. The Obama administration has purged all references to radical Islam from its national strategic threat assessments.   The FBI is reaching out to ISNA (Islamic Society of North America) for input while it is rewriting its counterterrorism training materials. Madness is on the march. Shockingly, our country’s leaders are in effect allowing the Muslim Brotherhood to help determine our counterterrorism policies! Our nation—and your family—will be at greater risk as a result. We must expose this ...

Iran misunderstands Islam, jails Christian pastor for “crimes against the Islamic state” and beats him in prison

May 15, 2012 – 10:14 pm
Western Muslim spokesmen who claim that Islam is a tolerant faith should be speaking out against this. Why aren't they?

Asked their views on Egyptian-U.S. ties, 38 percent indicated the relationship should be more distant, 35 percent said it should remain ...

Macedonia: Muslims rally against arrests of suspected jihad terror

May 15, 2012 – 10:09 pm
Ivan Babanovski, a former security studies professor, is quoted below saying that these ralliers "misuse Islam." Yet those who use it properly, in his view, and abhor jihad terror, never seem to rally. Now, why is that? "Macedonia protests signal surge of radical Islam," from EurActiv, May 14 (thanks to Twostellas): Ethnic Albanians rallied in several Macedonian towns on Friday (11 May) to protest against a police operation that saw suspects arrested in the deaths of five people. The regional press saw the protests as a sign of rising radical Islam in the country.Thousands of ethnic Albanians demonstrated against the arrest of three men charged over the killing of five Macedonians last month. Photos from the scenes showed that many of the protestors waved Saudi flags and that some wore T-shirts with inscriptions such as “Islam will dominate the world”. On 13 April five slain Macedonian fishermen were discovered beside a lake in the village ...

Christians afraid of Islamic rule in Syria

May 15, 2012 – 10:08 pm
They know what Islamic rule would mean, unlike the besotted and willfully ignorant shapers of public opinion in the West. "Syrian Christians Afraid of Possible Islamist Rule," from RIA Novosti, May 14 (thanks to Twostellas): Christians living in conflict-torn Syria are afraid that their community would fall victim of religious extremism if President Bashar al-Assad regime collapses and Islamists come to power.“I am afraid that we will suffer bad times,” a member of Damascus’s Christian community, who identified himself as Jorge, told RIA Novosti. A full-fledged civil war will break out in Syria if Assad’s enemies and their western supporters continue efforts to topple the president, he continued. “If the regime falls…, Islamists will come to power,” Jorge said, adding that Islamists “wrongly believe that we support the current regime,” and for that reason they will complicate the life of Christians. “Sunni Muslims who predominate Syria think that if President Assad’s regime representing the interests of ...

Moderate Indonesia: 17 churches closed in Sharia province of Aceh

May 14, 2012 – 11:58 am
These church closings are taking place in Aceh, the province where Sharia is being implemented. Clearly it is being implemented by Misunderstanders of Sharia who don't know that it is benign, tolerant, and fully compatible with the values enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Islamic Tolerance Alert from modern, moderate Indonesia: "Church Row a ‘Dark Time’ for Aceh," by Nurdin Hasan for the Jakarta Globe, May 11: Banda Aceh.
