Terrorist States

This is a sort of a follow-up to the “Some People Just Don’t Get It” post. Recently, a man in Georgia was charged with strangling his daughter who was filing for divorce from her husband. In the article “MURDER IN THE FAMILY: HONOR KILLINGS IN AMERICA”, 52 Chaudhry Rashid said, “he could not accept the "disgrace" a divorce or affair would bring on his family.” In addition, the article mentions that the United Nations estimates about 5,000 women a year fall victim to “Honor Killings.”

Although it may not be the “Politically Correct” point of view, I have always felt that religion, in particular Islam, is at the core of most senseless murders. Just look at the number of innocent people killed by radical Muslims in the name of Islam and now add in the Honor Killings.

I decided to explore Honor Killings and see what I could find. Below is just a short list of a few articles I found when I did a “Google” search for Honor Killings. As I expected, thousands of links were displayed, from blog entries to major new agencies. The two biggest things I found disturbing in all of this is: 
1. “Most "honour" killings of women occur in Muslim countries” (ref: Case Study)
2. Where is the international outrage against Islam and other Religions / Governments who turn a blind eye to this?

We all know Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sounds crazy at times, but is he really crazy like a fox? Seems our political backbiting here in the US, the weak EU and the incompetent UN have created a perfect storm for Iran to finally obtain nukes.

An article in the NY Posts, written Amir Taheri titled ”BOMBS AWAY WHY THE US POLICY ISN'T WORKING - AND IRAN WILL GET NUCLEAR WEAPONS",  paints a grim, but logical scenario leading up to Iran finally obtaining nuclear weapons. This of course assumes Israel does not attack them first.  Well, it looks as if the future could get very interesting.
 

Former President Jimmy Carter's visit to the Middle East and his meeting with Hamas leaders has set a very dangerous precedent.  The ability of our country to conduct foreign policy could be seriously impacted if we allow former political leaders to go off on their own contradicting official Government positions.  Carter needs to have his Passport revoked and all federal funding cut to his center in Atlanta.   

U.S. Rep Calls for Revocation of Carter's Passport - As former President Jimmy Carter tours the Middle East, his plans to meet terrorist leaders have met with increasing criticism from authorities within the United States, including a senior U.S. Representative requesting Carter's passport be revoked by [Investigative Project on Terrorism]

I just watched Wilder's video and did not see anything in there that was not true.  All these radical Muslims calling for Jihad and threating to cut someone's head off is not new. 

If this so called "Religion of Peace" was really a religion of peace, it would not be teaching children to be martyrs, cutting people's head off or flying freaking airplanes into sky scrappers and killing thousands of innocent men, women and children. 

If your Muslim and don't like the film, why don't you go cut the heads off of the freaking terrorists who hijacked your religion? 

I have taken down the PC poll and added a new one based on some recent discussions about terrorism.

The poll I have here has been running 90% toward Strongly Agree that America is becoming too politically correct.  I don't know about you,  but I find that kind of frightening.  We seem to be afraid to challenge individuals or groups of individuals about their actions, for fear of being called a raciest, a bigot or worse yet, sued by the ACLU for infringing on someone's "rights".  This very fear appears to be opening the door for the radical terrorists to enter America and infiltrate our colleges and neighborhoods.  We need to stop the BS PC games and open our eyes to what is going on in our own backyard.  The following two groups are featured on  The Investigative Project on Terrorism (IPT) website.  Take a look at their profile and let me know what you think.

 Muslim American Society (MAS)

The Muslim American Society (MAS) is an organization with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood. The organization, founded in 1993, is headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia and has local chapters in 23 states. MAS is headed by Esam Omeish and Souheil Ghannouchi, who serve as president and executive director respectively. Shaker El Sayed served as the Society's secretary general until June 1, 2005, when he left the organization to become an imam at the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Northern Virginia. MAS' political and public relations wing, the Freedom Foundation, is headed by Mahdi Bray

Muslim Students Association (MSA)

Islamic extremism is on the rise on college campuses across the United States. The spread of radical Islamism on campuses has proven to be an effective tool to garner support and gain legitimacy, exploiting the right of free association with academic institutions. International and domestic groups that advocate extremist or radical causes frequently host lectures and other events on campuses to shore up support and recruit members. Indeed, universities are a fertile field for radicals searching for the next generation of activists and sympathizers.

With nearly 600 chapters -- including roughly 150 chapters directly affiliated with MSA National -- located in the United States and Canada, the Muslim Students Association (MSA) is the most visible and influential Islamic student organization in North America. As reflected in the extensive information presented in this dossier, MSA has gained legitimacy on American campuses as a benevolent collegiate faith club; however, under this moderate veneer MSA advances a different agenda among impressionable college students. Through conferences and events, publications, websites and other activities, MSA disseminates and promotes militant Islamic ideologies. This dossier is on MSA-National as well as the numerous chapters of MSA formally affiliated with MSA-National.
