Islamic investments into the core of America, often come with unwanted baggage. Like Sharia law for example.

And while Islamic Sharia law slowly creeps into our very lives across America, the liberal main street media continue to pretend otherwise.

Maybe if we close our eyes... it will go away.


Paper Throws Race Card, Misses Bigger Picture: Muslim Banking in America by Warner Todd Huston - NewsBusters

The Daily Record in Baltimore, Maryland recently published a story by Brendan Kearney that oddly seems to present a conflict between a bank employing Islamic Shari'ah law with its American investments and some black American borrowers and painting it as a racist issue. Sadly, the real story, that of Islamic law being imposed on American investors, is sidelined in order to pursue the race card. (Full story reprinted at BlackEnterprise.com)

As The Record reports, a black couple in Baltimore -- I identify their race because it is pivotal to how The Daily Record reports the story -- had contracted with the Church's Chicken restaurant chain to open a new outlet in Baltimore. Unfortunately for the entrepreneurial couple, as they were investing in their chicken outlet, Church's Chicken was purchased by Crescent Capital Investments Inc., the US affiliate of the Bahrain-based First Islamic Investment Bank BSC. And, upon the restaurant chain's purchase, these new Islamic corporate owners decided to institute Shari'ah laws upon their investments.

This caught the Beasleys new restaurant in a tough spot because pork products were on the morning breakfast menu for the Church's Chicken chain. Because Shari'ah law principles had been imposed on the Beasleys' new restaurant, they would be barred from serving their breakfast menu items, their corporate owners informed them. This barring from being able to serve their breakfast items, the couple maintains, contributed to the restaurant's failure and their eventual bankruptcy.
...

This race focus, however, completely misses the real issue here. The real issue is that a Muslim owned investment banking concern unfairly instituted Shari'ah laws on its American borrowers without due consideration. I should point out here, that I am on record as saying that Shari’ah based investing in the U.S. is not necessarily a bad thing. As long as the lender and borrower both agree to the terms of Shari'ah based investing and money lending, then what is the harm? If this new style of lending and banking operates in accordance with the religious tenets of both parties and both parties are in full agreement, we have no need to become alarmed. But, when an investment bank that takes possession of American companies begins to impose Shari'ah laws on its American customers, then we have a major problem.

U.S. Treasury fears Islamic strings on investments

The U.S. Treasury is struggling with how to handle any political or Islamic ramifications as Persian Gulf sovereign wealth funds look to make substantial investments in capital-poor American banks and securities firms.

Since the beginning of the year, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, two of the largest United Arab Emirate states, have been in discussions with the U.S. Treasury, offering reassurances that their investments in U.S. banks and security firms would not impose restrictions usually dictated by Islamic law, commonly know as sharia.

When they control our money, they control us.

Foreign investment firms are buying up America at an astounding pace. Little by little, piece by piece, city by city... the story continues... sounds of crickets chirping across the U.S..

"What do you call a thousand lawyers at the bottom of the ocean?"...

Inmate Hopes to Go Free After 26 Years in prison: Two spineless Lawyers Reveal the real Killer.


A 26-Year-Old Secret Could Free Inmate

For nearly 26 years, the affidavit was sealed in an envelope and stored in a locked box, tucked away with the lawyer's passport and will. Sometimes he stashed the box in his bedroom closet, other times under his bed.

It stayed there — year after year, decade after decade.

Then, about two years ago, Dale Coventry, the box's owner, got a call from his former colleague, W. Jamie Kunz. Both were once public defenders. They hadn't talked in a decade.

"We're both getting on in years," Kunz said. "We ought to do something with that affidavit to make sure it's not wasted in case we both leave this good Earth."

Coventry assured him it was in a safe place. He found it in the fireproof metal box, but didn't read it. He didn't need to. He was reminded of the case every time he heard that a wronged prisoner had been freed.

In January, Kunz called again. This time, he had news: A man both lawyers had represented long ago in the murder of two police officers, Andrew Wilson, had died in prison.

Kunz asked Coventry to get the affidavit.

"It's in a sealed envelope," Coventry said.

"Open it," Kunz said, impatiently.

And so, Coventry began reading aloud the five-line declaration the lawyers had written more than a quarter-century before:

An innocent man was behind bars. His name was Alton Logan. He did not kill a security guard in a McDonald's restaurant in January 1982.

"In fact," the document said, "another person was responsible."

———

They knew, because Andrew Wilson told them: He did it.

But that was the catch.

Lawyer-client privilege is not complete; most states allow attorneys to reveal confidences to prevent a death, serious bodily harm or criminal fraud. But this case didn't offer that kind of exception.

So when Andrew Wilson told his lawyers that he, and not Alton Logan, had killed the guard, they felt powerless — aware of information that could free a man they believed to be innocent, but unable to do anything with that knowledge. And for decades, they said nothing.

Fitna is the video by Dutch politician Geert Wilders, leader of the Party for Freedom in the Dutch parliament. The movie offers a critical view of Islam and the Koran. He has not been able to get this film out to the public as it is feared that the film will lead to violent demonstrations by Muslims, as did the Muhammad cartoons that were published in the Danish newspaper 'Jyllands-Posten' in 2005.

After many attempts, he finally succeeded via the internet, and here it is.
UPDATE 3/28/2008: LiveLeak removed the movie due to death threats.

UPDATE 3/31/2008: LiveLeak re-instated the movie.

UPDATE 4/4/2008: LiveLeak removed the movie again.

Here's the original Fitna.

In China's ongoing efforts to secure the Olympics and guard against any political black eyes, the government has ruled nothing off the table as far as monitoring and spying on everyone, all the time.

There are obvious signs of government uneasiness and a growing sense of paranoia throughout China, as it takes on the daunting tasks of securing these Olympic venues.

The BBC is reporting that China's Olympic security operations appear to be aimed at "preventing political demonstrations as much as terrorist attacks."

China Might Bar Tiananmen Broadcasts

China might bar live television broadcasts from Tiananmen Square during the Beijing Olympics, apparently unnerved by the recent outburst of unrest among Tibetans and fearful of protests in the heart of the Chinese capital.

A ban on live broadcasts would disrupt the plans of NBC and other major international networks, who have paid hundreds of millions of dollars to broadcast the Aug. 8-24 games and are counting on eye-pleasing live shots from the iconic square.

US Olympic tourists warned about monitoring in hotels

Americans traveling to China for the Olympic Games in August can expect their hotel rooms there to be monitored, the State Department warned on its website.

"All visitors should be aware that they have no reasonable expectation of privacy in public or private locations," according to the State Department site.

"All hotel rooms and offices are considered to be subject to on-site or remote technical monitoring at all times. Hotel rooms, residences and offices may be accessed at any time without the occupant's consent or knowledge," it said.

It added that many hotels and apartment buildings may be poorly built, lack emergency exits, fire extinguishers, carbon monoxide monitors and basic security like locks, alarms, and personnel.

It also said that the threat of terrorism appeared to be minimal, but urged caution nonetheless.

"The threat level for terrorism against Americans in China remains low. However, any large-scale public event like the upcoming Olympic Games could become the focus of terrorist acts or other forms of violence," it said.

"There is no reason to believe that US citizens are being targeted at this time," it said.

It also said crime rates were relatively low, with major metropolitan areas safer than similar sized cities in other developing countries.

But "while the overall crime threat is low, the number of criminal incidents, including those directed against Americans, continues to rise," it added.

The Olympic Summer Games will take place from August 8-24, followed by the Beijing Paralympic Summer Games 2008 from September 6-17.

This should proved to be very interesting. You never know what the Chinese government is going to do at the very last minute. Then come up with some hokey excuse afterwards.

Show your support and outrage with the City of Berkeley for their recent resolution that criticized our Marines.

Sign the Petition

Code Pinkos forcibly keep people from entering the Marines Recruiting office while the Berkeley Police stand by and watch. The police were "Staying Neutral" says one officer at the scene.
STAYING NEUTRAL? What are they, freakin' referees?


I think Berkeley is getting a bit carried away at this point. I truly can not believe the administrative powers in this city honestly believe they are going to run the Marines out of town. They must think they live in the United States of Berkeley. Idiots!

Show me a primary and I'll show you Hillary crying.
Some say she is doing this crying thing before ever primary for the sympathy which translates into votes for her. And I have to say, the first couple of times I think it actually worked. But how long can she keep this up? Can she cry herself into the White House? And how is the rest of the world viewing this little one-act play of hers?

Perhaps she’s crying over the incompetence of her campaign

Or is there something else. Could it be, deep down, she sees her shot at the big house dwindling away in front of her eyes. Is she seeing Barack Obama stealing her thunder at every turn. Is he going to steal her vision, her passion of so many years?

Has she lost her beloved base to... uh uh him?


Possibly, but...
Will she cry her way into the White House?

Disgraced Mayor Tom Bates of Berkeley California has joined the ranks of the anti-American wingnut group Code Pink in their weekly protest of our U.S. Marines outside their recruiting office in downtown Berzerkeley.

Other supporters and sponsors of this disgusting event include Berkeley residents and organizations like Watada Support Committee/API Resist and the National Lawyers Guild. How nice!


He's so adorable gay in his little pink bonnet.
The Code Pinko moonbats are all beside themselves with joy having this excremental humanoid supporting their treasonous cause. (I refuse to link to their site.)

Ex-Marine and Berkeley California Councilman Max Anderson calls the U.S. Marines, President Bush's Gangsters and trained killers, as his justification to allow "Code Pink" a permit to protest in front of the U.S. Marines recruiting station.



and then there's the Mayor of Bezerkley himself, ass-wipe Tom Bates. Bates chimes in with this lovely statement at the same meeting.


Wow!

Both "America's Greatest Enemies" list and our "A-Hole of the Year" list just grew larger.

Can you name the new A$$HOLE OF THE YEAR?



That's right! The low life, left wing, nutjob Mayor of Bezerkley California
Tom Bates
Now, I'm sure most of you have heard by now, of the moronic antics of the City Council of Berkeley California and their ludicrous decision to drive the U.S. Marine Corps Recruiting office out of town. These ridiculous acts of treason were lead by the one and only Thomas Bates.

That is why he has climbed to the top of our "A$$HOLE OF THE YEAR" list.

Video here of Bates at the meeting.

If you haven't heard by now. Check out "Treason in Berkeley."

Crime actually does pay, especially if your rich and famous.

Wesley Snipes thumbed his nose at the IRS and the American tax payers yesterday, after walking out of court a "tax free man," when a jury acquitted him on tax evasion charges.

Snipes earned in excess of $38,000,000.00, that's right, 38 MILLION DOLLARS, in the past six years, and has NOT paid one dollar in taxes.


CRIME PAYS AS WESLEY DOESN'T

The message, fellow citizens, is: If you're rich, famous and have a stubborn streak as wide as the Suwanne River, you too don't have to pay your fair share. Take it from Wesley Snipes!

The star leaped out of federal court here like he'd just won a part in a blockbuster. And he sort of did.

"I'm happy!" crowed the man who cowed Uncle Sam. Then he saw me, and he fixed his million-dollar, tax-avoiding gaze right on mine.

"I think you were right. You know the game!" he praised, putting his hands together as if in prayer. A day earlier, I'd told my new best bud that I didn't think this jury would throw the book at him. And they didn't.

Try getting your hands on Wesley's millions now, Uncle Sam!

Way to go... Loser!.

Express yourself Jackie, don't hold it in. Tell us how you really feel.



Was that an endorsement for Romney?

Watch in Full Screen

What happened to "the principles of truth and nonviolence?" I was taught they were "as old as the hills."

Apparently Arun Gandhi forgot these basic principles preached by Grandpa Gandhi. Or did the truth get the best of him in a public forum. I think the latter.

Gandhi Grandson Quits After Criticizing Jews

Mahatma Gandhi’s grandson resigned from the peace institute he co-founded after condemnation of his comments that Israel and the Jews are the biggest players in a culture of violence that “is eventually going to destroy humanity.” Arun Gandhi, the fifth grandson of the revered pacifist, said on Friday that his comments, which were posted on an online forum, were meant “to generate a healthy discussion on the proliferation of violence.”

“Instead, unintentionally, my words have resulted in pain, anger, confusion and embarrassment. I deeply regret these consequences,” Gandhi said. He apologized “for my poorly worded post,” saying he should not have implied that Israeli government policies reflected the views of all Jewish people.

Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League, called it “shameful that a peace institute would be headed up by a bigot.” The board of the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence based at the University of Rochester accepted Gandhi’s offer on Thursday to step down as its president.

Gandhi went on and described Israel as “a nation that believes its survival can only be ensured by weapons and bombs.” He then asked whether it would “not be better to befriend those who hate you?”

“Apparently, in the modern world so determined to live by the bomb, this is an alien concept,” he wrote. “You don’t befriend anyone, you dominate them. We have created a culture of violence (Israel and the Jews are the biggest players) and that Culture of Violence is eventually going to destroy humanity.” He wrote that the Jewish identity “has been locked into the holocaust experience — a German burden that the Jews have not been able to shed. It is a very good example of (how) a community can overplay a historic experience to the point that it begins to repulse friends. “The holocaust was the result of the warped mind of an individual who was able to influence his followers into doing something dreadful ... The world did feel sorry for the episode but when an individual or a nation refuses to forgive and move on, the regret turns into anger.”

WOW! Piling on the Jews at the M.K. Gandhi Institute for Nonviolence.

 

Typical Clinton... if it's not about them, their not interested.

Bill Clinton cops a few z's during the Martin Luther King celebration at the Convent Avenue Baptist Church in Harlem, N.Y. yesterday.

From video by the New York Post titled "Clinton has a Dream."

In a recent, inadvertently released Canadian training manual on "Torture Awareness," Canada has linked the United States and Israel among others like China, Syria and Iran as countries that have prisoner interrogation techniques that include Torture. The manual mistakenly came to light during an investigation of abuse by Canadian soldiers against prisoners in Afghanistan.

Canada puts U.S., Guantanamo and Israel on torture 'watch list'

Canada has put the United States and Israel on a torture watch list, according to CTV. A Canadian government document cites the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and interrogation techniques that include "forced nudity, isolation, and sleep deprivation."
...

A Foreign Affairs Department training manual, titled "Torture Awareness Workshop Reference Materials," provides legal definitions of torture and instructs Canadian consular officials how to detect signs of abuse among detainees held abroad. It lists Guantanamo Bay and the United States, along with Afghanistan, China, Egypt, Iran, Israel, Mexico, Saudi Arabia and Syria.

The manual was inadvertently released to lawyers working on a lawsuit involving abuse of Afghanistan detainees by Canadians, the Canadian Press reported.

One Canadian prisoner at Guantanamo Bay, Omar Khadr, is due before a U.S. military commission in early February. The Pentagon has charged him with "murder by an unprivileged belligerent" for allegedly throwing a grenade that killed U.S. Delta Force soldier Christopher Speer in Afghanistan in 2002. Khadar was 15 at the time.

*********************************************

His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon

Secretary-General, United Nations

New York, N.Y.

Dear Mr. Secretary-General,

Re: UN climate conference taking the World in entirely the wrong direction

It is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity through the ages. Geological, archaeological, oral and written histories all attest to the dramatic challenges posed to past societies from unanticipated changes in temperature, precipitation, winds and other climatic variables. We therefore need to equip nations to become resilient to the full range of these natural phenomena by promoting economic growth and wealth generation.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued increasingly alarming conclusions about the climatic influences of human-produced carbon dioxide (CO2), a non-polluting gas that is essential to plant photosynthesis. While we understand the evidence that has led them to view CO2 emissions as harmful, the IPCC's conclusions are quite inadequate as justification for implementing policies that will markedly diminish future prosperity. In particular, it is not established that it is possible to significantly alter global climate through cuts in human greenhouse gas emissions. On top of which, because attempts to cut emissions will slow development, the current UN approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase human suffering from future climate change rather than to decrease it.

The IPCC Summaries for Policy Makers are the most widely read IPCC reports amongst politicians and non-scientists and are the basis for most climate change policy formulation. Yet these Summaries are prepared by a relatively small core writing team with the final drafts approved line-by-line by ­government ­representatives. The great ­majority of IPCC contributors and ­reviewers, and the tens of thousands of other scientists who are qualified to comment on these matters, are not involved in the preparation of these documents. The summaries therefore cannot properly be represented as a consensus view among experts.

Contrary to the impression left by the IPCC Summary reports:

Recent observations of phenomena such as glacial retreats, sea-level rise and the migration of temperature-sensitive species are not evidence for abnormal climate change, for none of these changes has been shown to lie outside the bounds of known natural variability.

The average rate of warming of 0.1 to 0. 2 degrees Celsius per decade recorded by satellites during the late 20th century falls within known natural rates of warming and cooling over the last 10,000 years.

Leading scientists, including some senior IPCC representatives, acknowledge that today's computer models cannot predict climate. Consistent with this, and despite computer projections of temperature rises, there has been no net global warming since 1998. That the current temperature plateau follows a late 20th-century period of warming is consistent with the continuation today of natural multi-decadal or millennial climate cycling.

In stark contrast to the often repeated assertion that the science of climate change is "settled," significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming. But because IPCC working groups were generally instructed (see http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/docs/wg1_timetable_2006-08-14.pdf) to consider work published only through May, 2005, these important findings are not included in their reports; i.e., the IPCC assessment reports are already materially outdated.

The UN climate conference in Bali has been planned to take the world along a path of severe CO2 restrictions, ignoring the lessons apparent from the failure of the Kyoto Protocol, the chaotic nature of the European CO2 trading market, and the ineffectiveness of other costly initiatives to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Balanced cost/benefit analyses provide no support for the introduction of global measures to cap and reduce energy consumption for the purpose of restricting CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it is irrational to apply the "precautionary principle" because many scientists recognize that both climatic coolings and warmings are realistic possibilities over the medium-term future.

The current UN focus on "fighting climate change," as illustrated in the Nov. 27 UN Development Programme's Human Development Report, is distracting governments from adapting to the threat of inevitable natural climate changes, whatever forms they may take. National and international planning for such changes is needed, with a focus on helping our most vulnerable citizens adapt to conditions that lie ahead. Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity's real and pressing problems.

Yours faithfully,

Please visit their Web site, Freedomswatch.org, to learn what you can do to support our troops, through the holidays and beyond.

While you are on their site, remember to sign the holiday card for the troops. This simple gesture will let American servicemen and women know that we continue to appreciate their sacrifices for our nation.

Please, support our troops this Holiday season.
UPDATE: NBC Rejects Ad
This speaks volumes about the main street media and their liberal mindset, that is,
"We're not at war, our military is." ...what a disgusting bunch of people animals.

UPDATE: (12/08/07) NBC now singing a different tune.
The public pressure was so overwhelming they just could not ignore it. Here's the latest.

In a statement issued this evening, NBC said:
"We have reviewed and changed our ad standards guidelines and made the decision that our policy will apply to content only and not to a referenced Web site. Based on these amended standards the Freedom's Watch ad will begin to run as early as Sunday."
