Muslim Sharia law Banking on America

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..

Lawyers Keep Quiet While Innocent Man Does Life in Prison

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

"A damn good start."

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.

Harry Reid Says Taxation is Voluntary in U.S.

The argument on whether taxation in America is government coercion, makes Senator Harry Reid look like the fumbling, bumbling fool he actually is. Harry is way too ignorant to make the argument on this issue.

It's painfully obvious that Jan Helfeld is engaged in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

UPDATE: Dennis Miller chimes in ...
Nice!

Geert Wilders' Film Fitna

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.

Americans Warned of Monitoring in Hotels at Beijing Olympics

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.

Berkeley Cops Neutral as Code Pink Blocks Recruiting Office

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!

Hillary Crying All The Way To The White House

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?

Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates Joins Code Pink

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.)

Berkeley Council Member Calls Marines, Bush's Gangsters

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!
