 Robert Spencer interviews former Muslim Brotherhood member Kamal Saleem

This video is just over one hundred minutes long, but it is worth watching and worth saving.

Kamal Saleem’s firsthand account of the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood and the fraud known as Islam.

Coming to Your Neighborhood Soon

As Muslim populations reach critical mass in our cities, child prostitution will grow exponentially. This is the ugly side of letting refugees from Islam into a free country.

Disputed Articles in Egypt’s Draft Constitution

Omissions of certain articles, such as bans on slavery or promises to adhere to international rights treaties, were equally worrying to critics of the new draft, who pulled out from the panel before the vote.

Admiral Lyons makes very persuasive argument-BENGHAZI

Former commander of the Pacific Fleet Admiral James Lyons was among the most highly regarded and influential members of the American military in a generation.  He is now using that reputation to now aggressively push for open disclosure.

Arab TV Report Exposes Lax Security At U.S. Consulate

According to the letters, not only had a Libyan policeman photographed the compound 15 hours prior to the attack, but the Libyan government had not provided the security at the consulate requested by the consular staff prior to Ambassador Chris Stevens’ arrival in Benghazi.

Egyptian Salafi Sheikh Murgan Salem Calls To Destroy Pyramids And Tax Christians

This is the reality of what our White House called the “Arab Spring”.   Imagine a future Egypt without its great landmarks and its museums empty of all pre-Islamic artifacts. This nightmare is the dream of many radical Muslims.

Obama Administration Secret Talks with Iran Confirmed

Jarrette was born in Iran of American parents. Although the White House likes to sell that symbolism her Iranian counterparts see her as having been born in US ocupied Iran during the rein of the Shah.

With admittedly no foreign service training or experience and being a female her ability to make any real gains with these Islamists seems questionable. BR

Obama Appoints “Moderate” Muslims to Key Homeland Security Posts

We have someone in the Federal government who views Hezbollah – HEZBOLLAH! - (an Islamic terrorist organization with Nazi roots) as a “liberation movement” – where is the outrage?

 Russia Wants Seized Equipment Back From Turkey

The items were taken from a Syrian Air passenger plane that was forced to land earlier in October at the Esenboga airport near the Turkish capital.

The Kommersant newspaper indicated that Turkish authorities confiscated 12 containers carrying radar components that would be employed in antimissile operations. Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has characterized the cargo as “war equipment,” while Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said the material was radar technology that is not banned and should be repatriated to his country.

Christians Should “Convert, Pay Tribute, or Leave,” Says Muslim Brotherhood Presidential Candidate?

Months after the White House declared an “Arab Spring” reality sets in and it is not pretty.

In a brief report written by Samuel al-Ashay and published by El Bashayer on May 27, Morsi allegedly made these comments while speaking with a journalist at the headquarters of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Freedom and Justice Party, adding “We will not allow Ahmed Shafiq [his contending presidential candidate] or anyone else to impede our second Islamic conquest of Egypt.”

 The Sunni-Shia Conflict Will Be The Major Feature of Middle East For Decades

Sunni and Shia radicals have a longer tradition of murdering each other than of attacking the West. We should keep each side busy at killing their Muslim rivals so that they have fewer resources to attack Western Civilization.
With the growth of Muslim Brotherhood power and the nearly-ready nuclear capabilities of Iran, Sunni / Shia conflict is impossible to avoid. If our intelligence resources can monitor and help “guide” their blood thirsty rivalry it could drain their manpower to a minimum and save us the time, money, and lives that it takes to hunt and kill terrorists.

Russian Satellite Helps Iran Bypass Sanctions

After the Europeans pulled the plug on Iranian satellite transmissions because of the sanctions against Iran, Iranian stations are back on the air. The Iranians have reportedly transferred their transmissions over to a Russian satellite, once again bypassing the sanctions against them.

Afghan women leave the country in fear of Taliban return

A brain drain of bright young women is already taking place in Afghanistan before the 2014 handover that many fear will mean a reversal of advances in women’s rights.

The lack of commitment by the Afghan government to equality and to tackling the high rates of ill-treatment of women in the home and in the workplace is raising real fears they will be at the bottom of the political agenda in the push for power after Nato forces leave the country.

Tawriya: Islamic Doctrine of ‘Creative Lying’

Though tawriya is technically not “new”—as shall be seen, it has been part of Islamic law and tradition for centuries—it is certainly new to most non-Muslims, hence the need for this exposition and the word “new” in the title.

Islamizing the Temple Mount

In theory, Israel currently controls the Temple Mount. In reality, since 1967, when the Israeli army seized the “holy basin” from Jordanian forces, the Jewish State gave up religious freedom for the Jews. Immediately after the liberation of Jerusalem, then Minister of Defense Moshe Dayan handed over the keys of the Temple Mount to the Waqf, the Muslim religious trust that serves as custodian of the site, which includes four Muslim minarets.

 

It’s Time to Revise The Cairo Declaration of Human Rights in Islam

From an international human rights perspective, the controversial nature of the Cairo Declaration lies in its claim of adherence to Shari’ah. Its preamble affirms that“fundamental rights and universal freedoms are an integral part of [Islam]” and these rights and freedoms are “binding divine commandments” revealed to the Prophet Muhammad in the Quran.

So, how can Islam reconcile Sharia with any recognized standard of  Human Rights? BR

Nancy Pelosi Hires Former Terrorist Fundraiser

After the use of bigoted language by ThinkProgress contributors turned into a growing scandal, the White House publicly distanced itself from ThinkProgress, an outlet of the Center for American Progress, which Time Magazine called the think tank with the largest influence on the Obama administration. Jarrod Bernstein, the White House’s liaison to the Jewish community, described the events there as troubling and stated that the Center for American Progress’s attitude was not that of the Obama administration.

 Lara Logan speech on Al-Qaeda

Lara’s frightening message was gleaned from years of covering our wars in the Middle East. This video was filmed a couple of weeks after her Sept. 30 report, “The Longest War.” It examined the Afghanistan conflict and exposed the perils that still confront America, 11 years after 9/11.

 Iran’s Meth Empire

Iranian drug rings are a sizable presence everywhere from Europe to Southeast Asia to the United States.  By the spring of last year, Thai authorities had already arrested their twentieth Iranian meth smuggler. The same story repeats itself in Indonesia, Malaysia, Burma and Vietnam. Asia is no stranger to the drug trade, yet it’s being swamped by Iranian meth, Iranian meth labs and Iranian dealers.

France: Muslims stone Christians in church during Mass

No one will take much note of this. It is just one story among the thousands that together tell the tale of France’s decline and Islamization.

 Islamists Congratulate Obama On Election Win “Look Forward” To Working With Him
