Dutch Artist Nekschot's Muslim Cartoons Deemed "Possible Incitement To Violence"
WARNING - THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CONTAINS DISTURBING IMAGES
 By Beila Rabinowitz and William Mayer
May 17, 2008 - SanFrancisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Gregorius Nekschot the Dutch cartoonist who was arrested for his work last Tuesday now faces a jail sentence. The public prosecutor has decided that eight of his cartoons "are beyond the pale" and that Nekschot is guilty of "discrimination and possible incitement to violence."
The Dutch government has reportedly been attempting to pull cartoons from the internet, while the Department of Justice has judged scores of Nekschot's cartoons and decided that most fell within the scope of freedom of expression in Holland.
The arrest of Nekschot has struck fear into journalists, artists and Members of Parliament over the government's repression directed at freedom of expression.
Unbelievabley, according to Justice Minister Hirsch Ballin, the investigation into Nekschot does not mean that freedom of expression is being limited. [source, translated from the Dutch, http://www.trouw.nl/hetnieuws/nederland/article989834.ece/Minister_ontkent_inperking_vrije_meningsuiting]
The public prosecutor has so far refused to say which cartoons will be subject to legal action. The arrest of Nekschot was the result of a long investigation. The complaint goes back to 2005 and was sent to the Reporting Point For Discrimination Internet (Meldpunt Discriminatie Internet) who forwarded it the public prosecutor.
Further displaying the twisted logic involved in this matter, the complaint against Nekschot was made by imam Abdul Jabber Van de Ven a radical Islamist who lauded the murder of Theo van Gogh and said he hoped politician Geert Wilders will be also be killed by a Muslim.
Dutch Cartoonist Who Mocked Muslims Jailed For "Discrimination"
By Beila Rabinowitz and William Mayer
May 16, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - In another blow to free speech due to the country's descent into multicultural confusion, a Dutch satirical cartoonist, who writes under the pseudonym of Gregorius Nekschot was arrested this week for discrimination on a warrant ensuing from a 2005 complaint lodged by a Muslim convert, imam Abdul Jabbar Van de Ven.
In a brutal display of intimidation, ten police officers apprehended him while confiscating his computer, backup disks and mobile telephone, without which he can't work. He spent Tuesday night in jail and was released on Wednesday after a lengthy series of interrogations.
 Van de Ven gained notoriety when he lauded the 2004 murder of Theo Van Gogh by Mohammed Bouyeri and said that he hoped to see Dutch MP Geert Wilders meet a similar fate. [source, translated from the Dutch, http://www.militantislammonitor.org/article/id/328]
Van de Ven's complaint was channeled through the "Reporting Point for Discrimination Internet" [Meldpunt Discriminatie Internet, MDI] which is partially funded by the government and whose mission is to investigate and prosecute complaints of discrimination. Van de Ven coordinated an effort primarily via internet forums to write to the MDI to protest Nekschot's caricatures of Muslim extremists, which resulted in an avalanche of emails. The complaint was then passed on to the public prosecutor.
Nekschot is being charged with, "discriminating against Muslims and people with a dark skin color."
Though he publishes mainly on the internet, his book "Nekschot Sick Jokes" has also come under police scrutiny. The artist is well known for his hard hitting cartoons in which he makes fun of various ideologies and religions.
Cartoon title: "Only progressive Dutch are still open to other cultures"
Caption, man on knees: "This Islamic butcher shop is extremely interesting"
Fifth Column Muslim Police Officer Remains On Payroll After Disrupting Terror Investigation
May 14, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Fairfax, VA police officer Sgt. Weiss Rasool - who was sentenced to 2 years probation in federal court on April 22, having plead guilty to unauthorized access to the Violent Crime and Terrorist Offender File, maintained as part of the National Crime Information Center system - unbelievably continues to work for the department, pending an internal review of his case.
Rasool checked the databases to help the target of a federal terror investigation - who knew him, belonging to the same mosque as Rasool - and left a voice mail message tipping the suspect off that he was under surveillance by the FBI and being followed by undercover vehicles. [source, Washington Post, http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/22/AR2008042201994_pf.html]
The target was apprehended in November 2005 and deported, his identity and the charges involved have so far not been disclosed. At the time of his arrest, he and his family were fully dressed and busily engaged in destruction of evidence at 6 in the morning, suggesting that they had been tipped off.
During the investigation, Rasool was given a lie-detector test with which it was determined that he "was not fully compliant" because of his evasiveness. As a result, law enforcement does "not believe that he has been truthful."
Dutch Rewrite History To Show Moroccan's As Liberators Of Europe
By Beila Rabinowitz
May 14, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org -
Instead of trying to reinforce Dutch historical identity, one of the country's politicians is trying to rewrite it in the name of diversity. On the eve of "Liberation Days," Minister Jet Bussenmaker [Labour party] decided to include Moroccans, Surinamers and Antillians as liberators of Europe, despite their insignificant contribution.
Bussenmaker also concluded that this "history" must be taught to public school teachers and be included as part of the standard curriculum. According to one commentator the Dutch May 4th and 5th celebrations are "too white."
Concern about the feelings of the non-native Dutch population feeling left out of the World War II commemorations was raised several years ago when Moroccan youths were seen playing football with memorial wreaths which had been laid at a monument for the war dead.
Censorious MN State Rep Mindy Greiling, Lauded By Terror Friendly Group CAIR
 May 13, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Branding Minneapolis Star writer Katherine Kersten an "Islamophobic Columnist" in its May 12 newsletter, the Council on American Islamic Relations, CAIR - a Saudi funded unindicted co-conspirator in the nation's largest terror prosecution - is championing a campaign to censor a critic of Islamic radicalism in Minnesota, led by State Representative, Mindy Greiling [DFL].
The controversy stems from a series of reports made by Ms. Kersten, critical of the operating practices at Minnesota's Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy [TIZA], a taxpayer-funded charter school for kindergarten through eighth grade pupils.
As Kersten wrote in a April 9, 2008 column:
"...TIZA has many characteristics that suggest a religious school. It shares the headquarters building of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, whose mission is 'establishing Islam in Minnesota '. The building also houses a mosque. TIZA's executive director, Asad Zaman, is a Muslim imam, or religious leader, and its sponsor is an organization called Islamic Relief. Students pray daily, the cafeteria serves halal food - permissible under Islamic law -- and 'Islamic Studies' is offered at the end of the school day..."
Ms. Greiling, quick to defend the Islamizing of a public school, wrote a letter to the Minneapolis Star in which she claimed to have personally visited TIZA. Greiling's conclusions after being led around by the nose by TIZA's Executive Director, Asad Zaman, who just happens to be an imam, are unfortunately predictable:
"...What I learned during a tour late last month is that none of Kersten's concerns that the charter school is promoting religion in violation of a state law that prohibits public schools from doing so is valid. What I did see was excellent teachers hard at work in the classroom focused on improving student achievement..."
Based upon this staged visit Greiling then went on to demand Ms. Kersten's head, charging her with "reckless journalistic standards" and a "gross distortion of facts."
Report By Watchdog Group States Palestinian Fatah Government, "Allied With...Enemies Of The US"
May 13, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - As noted previously State Department Pushes Israelis Towards "Peace Process" While The PA Glorifies Terror Bomber Who Murdered 8 Students the Palestinian Fatah government, led by Mahmoud Abbas, is engaged in a policy perfected by Fatah's previous leader, the terrorist Yasser Arafat, who made nice with the Western press in English, but gave all manner of support to the intifada and jihad in Arabic, when the cameras had been cased up and put away.
A new report, by Palestinian Media Watch makes it clear that not only is the Abbas government supportive of terror, but that it has increasingly allied itself with enemies of the United States including Iran, Syria, North Korea and Hugo Chavez' Venezuela, stating:
"There is ample evidence that the contacts between the Palestinian Authority and the enemies of the United States have the characteristics of relations between allies who share a common ideological bond...Hatred of the United States and disdain for its role of world leadership are the essence of this bond...Palestinian state were to be established before a qualitative shift in ideology, it is inevitable that the proposed state would join the alliance of enemies of the US and would strengthen those countries in undermining American goals for world peace."
Anti-Hate Group Decries Ex-Florida Governor Graham Speaking At Event With CAIR's Altaf Ali
May 10, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Americans Against Hate, a Florida based civil rights and terrorism watchdog group, is protesting an "interfaith" event to be held today at the Miami Lakes Congregational Church.
Scheduled speakers include Altaf Ali, the Executive Director of the Florida office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations [CAIR] and former U.S. Senator and Florida Governor Bob Graham.
According to Americans Against Hate Chairman, Joe Kaufman, Ali was recently disinvited from a similar prayer breakfast after the organization's ties to Hamas were revealed.
In an interview with PipeLineNews, Mr. Kaufman stated:
"CAIR recently was named a co-conspirator by the U.S. government for its role in the financing of millions of dollars to Hamas. And CAIR-Florida recently stated its support for Hamas.
In May of 2007, CAIR was labeled as a co-conspirator for a Hamas financing trial that named leaders of the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development (HLF), an Islamic charity that was shut down by the U.S. government in December of 2001, as defendants. During the trial, evidence was presented proving CAIR's involvement in Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook's Palestine Committee, a group whose goal was to raise money for Hamas from American shores...."
CAIR Showboats At Manzanar
May 8, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - As the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, the Saudi funded Hamas mouthpiece, designated as a co-conspirator in America's largest terror prosecution, US v Holy Land Foundation (HLF)] "...continues down the path of stealth jihad, following a plan devised by the Muslim Brotherhood - in this instance marching with Japanese American's to the Southern California internment camp created by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Manzanar to suggest that Islamophobia is rampant and that American Muslims face discrimination on a daily basis, we must consider how such stunts impact the groups credibility as a self-proclaimed civil rights organization.
First as an aside, considering that fewer people were killed at Pearl Harbor [the event that set the internment process into motion] than during the 9/11 attacks by Muslim fanatics, the fact that there has been nothing comparable to Roosevelt's actions stands as conclusive evidence of the lack of exactly what CAIR sought to infer from their meaningless participation in the Manzanar event.
In a larger sense, however, it might prove instructive to review a little sourced document presented into evidence at the HLF trial on September 4, 2007 by U.S.prosecutor James T. Jacks. Specifically the governments filing regarded CAIR's unsuccessful effort to remove its name from the co-conspirator list, as a means of assessing the group's agendized posturing and overall veracity.
We find of particularly noteworthiness the manner in which the Department of Justice clearly links CAIR to both Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood.
Transfer Of Kifah Jayyousi, Dirty Bomber Padilla Accomplice, Halted
 May 8, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - U.S. federal district judge Marcia Cooke has temporarily halted the transfer of Kifah Wael Jayyousi, a convicted terrorist [serving a 12 year sentence] and associate of "dirty bomber" Jose Padilla based on a motion filed by Jayyousi's attorney claiming his client is being subjected to racial profiling and discrimination.
Jayyousi's attorney is attempting to permanently halt moving him to the Communications Management Unit in the Federal Correctional Complex located in Terre Haute, Ind., which houses over two hundred inmates, many of them high profile jihadists.
The unit was created in response to criticism leveled at DOJ that convicted terrorists were not being adequately monitored, especially regarding their ability to communicate with outside sympathizers.
The most prominent example of which is the case of Omar Abdel Rahman's [convicted 1993 World Trade Center bombing conspirator] attorney Lynne Stewart, who conspired to smuggle messages from the "Blind Sheikh" to al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, an Egyptian terrorist group, designated by the U.S. State Dept. as a Foreign Terrorist Organization [FTO].
Stewart was subsequently convicted of providing material support to a terrorist organization.
The Muslim Interfaith Charade
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
 May 6, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Despite the outward appearance of infirmity, Omar Abdel-Rahman, the "Blind Sheikh" is a central figure in the Islamic global jihad. He was convicted in 1995 of conspiring to bomb the World Trade Center on February 26, 1993, which killed 6 and injured over 1,000.
Rahman is now serving a life sentence for that crime.
A precocious child, he started studying the Qur'an at an early age, committing much of it to memory. After graduating with a PhD in Qur'anic studies from Al-Azhar University in Cairo, Rahman took leadership roles in a number of jihadist groups including Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya and Egyptian Islamic Jihad, both offshoots of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Based upon his stature as a recognized Islamic scholar, he has the authority to declare religious findings or "fatwas," one of which countenanced the assassination of Anwar Sadat in 1981, a crime for which he was prosecuted but later acquitted and then finally expelled from Egypt.
About Sadat, Rahman has been quoted as saying, "...Sadat was not a Muslim. He made a mockery of Islam and its principles."
Finally outside the reach of Egyptian authorities, Rahman made his way to Afghanistan in the mid-1980s where he contacted an influential former professor, Abdullah Azzam. Azzam co-founder of the terrorist group, Maktab al-Khadamat [MAK, also known as the Afghan Services Bureau] along with Osama bin Laden. Maktab al-Khadamat was supplanted after the Soviet route in Afghanistan by a new organization, al-Qaeda, "the base," in Arabic.
llinois Law Enforcement Should Be Commended For "Mosque Storming" Exercise
 May 6, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, the Saudi funded Hamas mouthpiece and unindicted co-conspirator in the nation's largest terror prosecution] has predictably taken exception to a realistic security exercise in which officers from the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System [ILEAS] stormed the Continuing Recovery Center in Irving which had been transformed into the "Irving Mosque" for purposes of the event.
The security drill was based on a not at all unreasonable scenario in which a heavily armed terrorist group takes over a mosque and then holds hostages. The exercise took place on the evening of April 24 and involved nearly 30 different local law enforcement agencies.
While CAIR objected to the event, with Ahmed Rehab, the organization's Chicago executive director stating, "The use of a fake 'mosque' in this type of drill sends the wrong message to law enforcement officials who may now view mainstream institutions, such as Islamic houses of worship, as potential security threats," the exercise was realistic and the scenario all too believable given the prevalence of Islamic terrorism.
Claiming that the drill "Sends the wrong message," is a tragi-comical statement for anyone connected with CAIR - which has steadfastly refused to specifically and by name condemn Hamas as a terrorist organization - to make [see, CAIR Refuses To Condemn Hamas While Attempting To Censor Michael Savage] as is having Islamist Ahmed Rehab, acting as its spokesperson in this matter.
Bomb Rocks San Diego Federal Court Building
 May 4, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force [JTTF] has responded to an explosion at the Edward J. Schwartz Federal Courthouse located at 940 Front Street, San Diego, California.
The blast described as "powerful" by FBI spokesmen, took place at approximately 1:40 am Sunday morning. The court house is near San Diego's busy nightclub district.
 The explosive device, possibly a pipe bomb or a series of pipe bombs, damaged the court house entrance and lobby area. No one is believed to have been injured as a result of the bombing, though two members of the Federal Protective Services were in the building at the time of the attack.
JTTF is working the case in conjunction with the San Diego Fire Department Metro Arson Strike Team, the San Diego Police Department, the ATF, and Federal Protective Services.
It is hoped that surveillance cameras may provide additional evidence in the case, though they were not oriented towards the front of the building.
As we go to press no arrests have been made and no individual or group has come forward to claim responsibility.
Taliban Power Continues Unabated In Pakistan's Tribal Areas
April 30, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLinenews.org - Showcasing Pakistan's continuing shaky status as an ally in the war on Islamic terrorism, ill conceived "peace" talks initiated by the government with the Taliban have come to an end less than a week after their commencement.
On April 29 Baitullah Mehsud the leader of Tehrik-e-Taliban [a consortium of groups loyal to the Taliban] declared that the only recently commenced talks with the central government were dead in the water. At the same time Mehsud indicated that a temporary cease-fire was expected to continue, at least for the time being.
The talks came as a result of dangling a conditional promise by the government to withdraw forces from Waziristan and the tribal areas which border Afghanistan, an area which is believed to be harboring Ayman al Zawahiri, bin-Laden's second in command and other terrorist leaders possibly even including bin-Laden himself.
Is Denver Burning? - Hillary Must Stay In Race To Ensure Destruction Of Obama
By William Mayer
 April 26, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - No one with the combined political acumen of the Clintons could possibly believe at this point that Hillary has any chance of capturing the Democrat nomination. There is no way of that happening, even assuming that the Clinton's intend to pull out the long knives at the nominating convention.
In politics inertia is key and the one verifiable, Newtonian certainty about the Obama campaign is that it's all going his way. That ship is not going to be turned around.
In order for Obama to lose the nomination it would have to be taken from him, stolen not won and given the drift recently indicating that Reid, Pelosi and Howard Dean will take even more of a role to "resolve" the Obama/Clinton deadlock, Obama is inevitable.
Since the start of the primaries, political power has shifted away from the Clintons who can talk a reasonably good centrist game when need be and towards Obama who is internally and externally proscribed from doing that. As a result Hillary, despite her own leftist record, is entirely too moderate for the MoveOn types to accept, ditto the entire 527 oriented consortium of groups, primarily funded by George Soros, which had been originally created for the expressed purpose of aiding a Clinton candidacy; they have simply jumped ship to a candidate they feel is more authentically anti-American and authoritarian.
The Democrat party of 2008 is arguably the most collectivist in history, the soft leftism of George McGovern notwithstanding.
Terms "Jihadist" And "Islamo-Fascist" Booted By Feds For Fear Of Antagonizing Jihadists and Islamo-Fascists
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
April 25, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Employing the twisted logic of not wishing to further stoke whatever additional enmity might exist in those already sworn to destroying the United States and West, the federal government has issued directives to stop the use of some of the most appropriate phrases and terms now being used to identify and describe the forces seeking to Islamize the Western world through force.
In order to accomplish that goal, the State Department, the Department of Homeland Security and the National Counter Terrorism Center have issued directives to impose a program of censorship rooted in moral equivalency.
According to documents obtained by the Associated Press, those responsible for this move base their decision upon a belief that terms such as jihadist cause otherwise normal and moderate Muslims to take up the sword of Allah and become mujahideen...strike that, since that word is now also verboten.
State Department Funding ISNA's Propagation Of Islam
By Beila Rabinowitz and William Mayer
April 25, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - A grant made by the U.S. Dept. of State to the Islamic Society of North America [ISNA, an arm of the Muslim Brotherhood and named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the ongoing Holy Land Foundation terror funding prosecution, whose mission statement is "Allah is our objective. The Prophet is our leader. Qur'an is our law. Jihad is our way. Dying in the way of Allah is our highest hope"] and the left wing National Peace Foundation is being used to fund Islamic da'wa via a spurious "citizen exchange" program.
As the ISNA press release states:
"...This program brings young professionals from the Middle East, specifically from Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates, to the United States...The goal of this project is to explore Islam, the functions of Islamic institutions in the United States, and the activities of interfaith work."
As we have noted in previous pieces, for example Bush Administration Moves To Legitimize The Muslim Brotherhood?, there has been a move afoot, primarily originating within the State Dept., to recognize the Muslim Brotherhood as a moderate organization, an idea so spectacularly stupid it could only originate in Foggy Bottom.
It follows then that if the reputation of the Muslim Brotherhood, which created Hamas and is a constant specter in terror prosecutions, is on the verge of being whitewashed, then making nice with ISNA seems equally reasonable.
Stop Bitching, Start Drilling - North Dakota Oil Find Double The Size Of Saudi Reserves
By Dennis T. Avery, special to PipeLineNews
April 24, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - One of the most extensive oil deposits in the world - the huge Bakken Formation - underlies North Dakota and Saskatchewan. The Bakken holds up to 500 billion barrels of oil, double the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia. But it lies in thin, shallow shale formations that are hard to drill and don't flow readily. Is the Bakken America's energy independence; a dire threat of global overheating; or just expensive holes in the ground?
In 1995, the U.S. Geological Survey said it expected to recover only 151 million of the Bakken's billions of barrels, using then-available technology. This month, however, USGS announced the Bakken could now yield 28 times that much oil, up to 4.3 billion barrels, thanks to higher oil prices and two new technologies: computer-guided horizontal drilling, and high-pressure rock fracturing. Will another dozen years of high-tech add another 4 billion barrels of recoverable Bakken oil? Will biotech bacteria help us harvest the oil as natural gas?
Meanwhile:
Three oil companies have found 15 billion barrels of oil 28,000 feet under the Gulf of Mexico - boosting U.S. proven reserves 50 percent.
The U.S. could now start harvesting a "super giant" gas field - 500 trillion cubic feet - from the Marcellus Shale under the Appalachian Mountains. Again, it would require the horizontal drilling and rock fracturing.
-
Brazil has discovered the third largest oil field in history, the Carioca, 170 miles offshore under 6,000 feet of water. The Carioca ranks behind only the Saudi and Kuwait fields discovered 60 years ago.
The USGS agrees the world has harvested only about one-third of the oil we've discovered, not to mention six trillion barrels of tar sands and huge amounts of oil shale already found but not exploited.
Islamic Marketing 101 - Maha ElGenaidi Takes Da'Wa Act On The Road
By William Mayer
 April 22, 2008 - Los Altos, CA - PipeLineNews.org - In a previous piece, Islamic Networks Group - Dialogue As Da'wa we wrote:
Islamic speakers bureaus are proliferating in the United States. They represent the vanguard of a new paradigm in jihad being waged by Islamists under the guise of "dialogue."
This emphasis on "legal" Islamism, the stealth jihad has been dictated in part by circumstances on the ground, where many of the most violent Islamists have been either killed, captured or forced to go into hiding, proving that aggression has been counter-productive.
Among the largest Islamic speaker's bureau - with international reach - is the Islamic Networks Group [ING] which claims to promote:
"...religious literacy and mutual respect through on-site presentations and interfaith dialogues to schools, community agencies, and other institutions. With our affiliates, ING's outreach spans the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom...Through the Islamic Speakers Bureau, certified Muslim speakers deliver a variety of presentations to K-12 schools, universities, corporations, health and law enforcement agencies, as well as other organizations..." [source, http://www.ing.org]
On Monday we had the opportunity to attend an interfaith talk given by Maha AlGenaidi, President and CEO of the Islamic Networks Group [ING]. The event was held at the Los Altos, California United Methodist church.
During her 90 minute, Power-Point dog and pony show, she presented Islam in a manner consistent not so much with the idea of religious education but rather with a seeming agenda built around Islamic da'wa, or conversion. Much of the talk was boiler plate, i.e., when Mohammed was born, the five pillars of Islam, "there is no compulsion in religion," and of course numerous references to the questionable proposition that Islam is an "Abrahamic faith," all of which have limited applicability to understanding why the Wahhabist/Salafist brand of Islamic fundamentalism seems so inextricably linked to terrorism.
Nazi and Communist Collaboration In Germany During The Decade Preceding Hitler's "Third Reich" [1923-1933]
By Emerson Vermaat
April 22, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - "The extremes touch" is a well known saying and quite often it is true. Today, leftist Socialists and Marxists join radical Muslims or "Islamists" in what they perceive as the common struggle against the United States and the West. One of the best friends of the extremist Iranian president Ahmadinejad is Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez, a radical Socialist who wants to follow the example of Cuba's Fidel Castro. This is the same Ahmadinejad who is a "Holocaust denier" who invites neo-Nazis and other Fascist Holocaust deniers to conferences in Tehran.
Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, two important branches of today's radical Islam, espouse the anti-Semitic conspiracy theories of the so-called "Protocols of the Wise Men (or Elders) of Zion." Ahmed Sheikh Yassin, the co-founder of Hamas, had an Arab translation of the "Protocols" on his desk when he was writing the Hamas Charter. 1
It is not coincidental, therefore, that the same charter specifically refers to the Protocols. Sheikh Yassin was also a strong admirer of a virulent Jew-hater whose name was Mohammed "Haj" Amin Al-Husseini, the former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem who had been granted asylum by the Nazis in 1941 and who spent the war years in Berlin where he actively promoted the Nazi cause.2
The "Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion" were very popular in Hitler's "Third Reich." Nazi Party philosopher Alfred Rosenberg was born in Czarist Russia (actually he was born in Latvia which was then part of Russia) and it was this Baltic German who in 1918 took the text of the Protocols from Russia to Germany introducing it to his extreme rightist friends from the Thule Society in Munich. It was from this obscure group that the Nazi Party would evolve around 1920.
Heinrich Himmler, the notorious SS-Reichsführer, had a strong admiration for Eastern religions and Islam. He often talked to his friend Haj Amin Al-Husseini, and it was during the war that the SS ran several "imam schools" in Nazi Germany. Himmler admired Muslims because they did not mind dying in battle.3
Expelled - Ben Stein's Brilliant And Subversive Documentary
By William Mayer
 April 19, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Darwin...Darwin...Darwin...you can almost hear Ben Stein muttering to himself as this subversive little documentary, "Expelled - No Intelligence Allowed," unfolds. Having opened only yesterday it has already left the piggies that feed at the trough of big science foaming at the mouth and staggering about in near apoplexia.
So outraged are the fascisti intelligentsia by Stein's work that as the film's website makes clear, "...the National Center For Science Education has taken the extraordinary and unprecedented step of building a website devoted solely to discrediting the...film..." an overtly political act.
Science subordinating itself to politics?
How can this be and why was it deemed necessary?
Well primarily because Ben has seen fit to present the not-so-pretty face of what the field of evolutionary biology has become and how an obviously left-leaning bunch of fanatical atheists are suppressing - at all levels - inquiry into an interesting if not promising avenue of exploration called intelligent design.
But isn't intelligent design merely a code phrase for creationism?
No, not at all.
Intelligent design [ID] is a hypothesis, a way of attempting a better explanation regarding the origin of the species than Charles Darwin's now 150 year-old theory. ID rests heavily upon an idea called irreducible complexity, a term originated by biochemist Michael Behe and explained in his 1996 book "Darwin's Black Box: The Biochemical Challenge to Evolution," which posits that biological systems are far too complex to have simply "evolved," from the inanimate components percolating in some primordial pool of mud.
CAIR's Duplicity In Focus - Al Arian Propaganda Film Screening Charade
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
April 18, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The stealth jihad campaign to fund the defense of admitted Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist Sami Al Arian spilled over into Southern California campus politics with the April 17 screening of a propaganda film - USA v Al Arian - at the Woodbridge 5 Theater in Irvine, California.
Sponsors of the event included, "CAIR-LA, Shura Council, MSA West, ICOI and MSU-UCI," with UC Irvine's Muslim Student Association/Muslim Student Union playing a lead role [source, http://www.msu-uci.com].
The film had originally been scheduled to screen at the Starplex Cinemas, but a grassroots coalition alerted the company about the film's content which resulted in cancellation of the contract.
When contacted by PipeLineNews.org, Kristen Wheaton who handles special events for Starplex, explained that the Al Arian film fell under the company's definition of overtly political and controversial films and as a result could not be shown. Ms. Wheaton stated that she felt that she was "intentionally deceived" by the event organizers from the beginning of the process or it would never have gotten this far.
She was first contacted in late March on the phone by two young women one of which was Marya Bangee a former UC Irvine student who is now employed by the Los Angeles chapter of CAIR, who represented the Al Arian film as a "college student film," and asked if they could arrange for it to be shown. Operating upon that misinformation, Wheaton agreed to allow the facility to screen the film.
Pope Benedict XVI Addresses America's Bishops
 April 17, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Dear Brother Bishops, it gives me great joy to greet you today, at the start of my visit to this country, and I thank Cardinal George for the gracious words he has addressed to me on your behalf. I want to thank all of you, especially the Officers of the Episcopal Conference, for the hard work that has gone into the preparation of this visit. My grateful appreciation goes also to the staff and volunteers of the National Shrine, who have welcomed us here this evening. American Catholics are noted for their loyal devotion to the see of Peter. My pastoral visit here is an opportunity to strengthen further the bonds of communion that unite us. We began by celebrating Evening Prayer in this Basilica dedicated to the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, a shrine of special significance to American Catholics, right in the heart of your capital city. Gathered in prayer with Mary, Mother of Jesus, we lovingly commend to our heavenly Father the people of God in every part of the United States.
For the Catholic communities of Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Louisville, this is a year of particular celebration, as it marks the bicentenary of the establishment of these local Churches as Dioceses. I join you in giving thanks for the many graces granted to the Church there during these two centuries. As this year also marks the bicentenary of the elevation of the founding see of Baltimore to an Archdiocese, it gives me an opportunity to recall with admiration and gratitude the life and ministry of John Carroll, the first Bishop of Baltimore - a worthy leader of the Catholic community in your newly independent nation. His tireless efforts to spread the Gospel in the vast territory under his care laid the foundations for the ecclesial life of your country and enabled the Church in America to grow to maturity. Today the Catholic community you serve is one of the largest in the world, and one of the most influential. How important it is, then, to let your light so shine before your fellow citizens and before the world, "that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven" [Mt 5:16].
CAIR Continues To Call For The Release Of Admitted Terrorist Sami Al Arian
 April 17, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - In a joint press release Parvez Ahmad, the Council on American Islamic Relation's board chair and Agha Saeed national chair of the American Muslim Alliance have demanded the release of self-admitted Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist Sami Al Arian, who remains in custody pending deportation.
Ahmad and Saeed have called Al Arian a "political prisoner," stating that he was, "...targeted not for his actions, but for his political views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict."
However if indeed Al Arian is a political prisoner why did he plead guilty to, "conspiracy to make or receive contributions of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad," a direct admission that he was indeed the terrorist which the government had alleged all along?
Further, according to an April 17, 2006 DOJ press release:
"...Former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian has pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad [PIJ], a specially designated terrorist organization, in violation of U.S. law, the Department of Justice announced today...Al-Arian pleaded guilty to Count Four of the indictment against him - a charge of conspiracy to make or receive contributions of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad...Al-Arian's agreement with the government calls for a recommended prison sentence of 46 to 57 months in prison, based on a five-year maximum statutory sentence. Al-Arian, 48, who has been in custody since his arrest on Feb. 20, 2003, has agreed to stipulate to deportation to another country by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement once his prison sentence has ended..."
In a weak effort to muddy the waters, CAIR and AMA state, "The Bush administration's evidence in the six-month trial consisted largely of speeches Al-Arian gave, magazines he edited, lectures he presented, articles he wrote, books he owned, conferences he organized, rallies he attended, and news he heard," which is essentially true but was nonetheless sufficient to demonstrate Al Arian's intent and eventually secure his confession.
Phony Moderate Muslim Muzammil Siddiqi Disrespects Holy Father, "Popes come and go"
 April 15, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Dr. Muzammil Siddiqi, Director of the Islamic Society of Orange County and widely feted within the tainted atmosphere of the "interfaith dialogue" community as a moderate Muslim, once again is betraying his radical roots, attending a today scheduled conference with Pope Benedict XVI under apparent great duress, stating, "our going there is more out of respect for the Catholic Church itself...Popes come and go, but the church is there."
Siddiqi's statement should be especially embarrassing to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, members of which having been prominently engaged in dialogue with him to the degree that he has been appointed co-chair of the West Coast Muslim-Catholic Dialogue.
As we noted in The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and CAIR - Interfaith Outreach Betrayed the U.S. Catholic Church's interfaith outreach to Islam - indeed all such dialogue - must be evaluated against a reality in which many American Islamist organizations seek to misuse that process in furtherance of a long-term goal which is to subvert liberal democracies and substitute in their place, Shar'ia. [see PipeLineNews document, On the General Strategic Goal for the Group [the Muslim Brotherhood] in North America]
It's worth noting that Dr. Siddiqi served two terms as president [1997-2001] of the Islamic Society of America [ISNA]. He is also a member of the Supreme Islamic Council of Egypt and the Supreme Council of Mosques in Makkah, Saudia Arabia.
 ISNA is closely affiliated with the Egyptian terrorist organization the Muslim Brotherhood and was, along with CAIR and similar groups and individuals, named last summer as an unindicted co-conspirator in the largest U.S. prosecution in history of terror funding, U.S. v Holy Land Foundation.
Additonally Siddiqi in his capacity at the Islamic Society of Orange County, Dr. Siddiqi is widely believed to the the key figure in the conversion of a 25 year-old American, Adam Gadahn who became radicalized, fled the United States and now serves as an official al-Qaeda spokesman, where he is called Azzam the American.
When evaluated against this considerable baggage, Siddiqi's objection to Pope Benedict is understandable, though indefensible.
This Pope, and just for Dr. Siddiqi's edification, the Pope is doctrinally indistinguishable from the Catholic Church on Earth, has demonstrated an understanding of the virulent aspects of Islam and is not afraid to speak out against them, witness his 2006 address in Regensberg, Germany [see, Mohammed In Hell] where he referred to the writings of Byzantine emperor Manuel II Paleologus "Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached," something the emperor was intimately aware of since he recorded this passage during the Muslim siege of Constantinople, sometime between 1394 and 1402.
Islamic Networks Group - Dialogue As Da'wa
By Beila Rabinowitz and William Mayer
April 10, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Islamic speakers bureaus are proliferating in the United States. They represent the vanguard of a new paradigm in jihad being waged by Islamists under the guise of "dialogue."
This emphasis on "legal" Islamism, the stealth jihad has been dictated in part by circumstances on the ground, where many of the most violent Islamists have been either killed, captured or forced to go into hiding, proving that aggression has been counter-productive.
Among the largest Islamic speaker's bureau - with international reach - is the Islamic Networks Group [ING] which claims to promote:
"...religious literacy and mutual respect through on-site presentations and interfaith dialogues to schools, community agencies, and other institutions. With our affiliates, ING's outreach spans the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom...Through the Islamic Speakers Bureau, certified Muslim speakers deliver a variety of presentations to K-12 schools, universities, corporations, health and law enforcement agencies, as well as other organizations..." [source, http://www.ing.org]
Notwithstanding such high minded claims, in reality ING is nothing more than a da'wa "proselytizing" organization which promotes an Islamist agenda. For example the group was a participant on an "Islamophobia" panel which portrayed Muslims as perpetual victims of religious and ethnic hostility:
"...the so-called, War on Terror has opened the door to the demonization of an entire population, with all too often negative consequences in terms of deteriorating civil rights and other abuses...." [source, http://www.ing.org/media_releases/community.asp?num=110]
These sentiments serve to indict the West and are the staple that binds similar organizations and individuals together. The use of the term "Islamophobia" is a misnomer and bears no relation to the meaning of "phobia," a morbid fear or aversion. Its use is a familiar tactic used by militant Muslims who attempt to silence their critics by branding them bigots.
Perhaps the most troubling aspect of these Muslim speaker's bureaus is that the often simplistically biased and historically incorrect representation of Islam they present is done in an environment in which it is unchallenged.
Minnesota Charter School - Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy - Operating As A Madrassah
Watchdog Group Demands Answers
April 10, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - A grassroots organization, concerned with halting the incremental Islamization of American education, the Stop the Madrassa Community Coalition - has called for the closing of the Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy in Grove Heights, Minnesota, pending an investigation, because it appears to be functioning as a madrassah, a Muslim religious school.
The Tarek ibn Ziyad Academy [TIZA] is a taxpayer-funded charter school for kindergarten through eighth grade pupils. However, Amanda Getz of Bloomington, Minnesota a substitute teacher at the institution has been quoted in recent news reports [see, http://www.startribune.com/local/17406054.html] claiming that TIZA is no simple charter school but is in fact abusing taxpayer funds and violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the Constitution because it is operating as an Islamic religious school.
Minneapolis Star-Tribune columnist Katherine Kersten, who broke the story, wrote in a April 9, 2008 column:
"...TIZA has many characteristics that suggest a religious school. It shares the headquarters building of the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, whose mission is 'establishing Islam in Minnesota '. The building also houses a mosque. TIZA's executive director, Asad Zaman, is a Muslim imam, or religious leader, and its sponsor is an organization called Islamic Relief. Students pray daily, the cafeteria serves halal food - permissible under Islamic law -- and 'Islamic Studies' is offered at the end of the school day..."
Why Is The Department Of Homeland Security Funding The "Hardening" Of Florida Mosques?
Sofian Abdelaziz Zakkout's Big Score
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
 April 9, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The Department of Homeland Security - [DHS] a cabinet level department - was created, with legislation signed into law by President Bush on November 25, 2002 as part of a governmental reorganization conducted post 9/11.
As part of this plan seven heretofore independent agencies have been rolled into this new bureaucracy - the Transportation Security Administration [TSA], U.S. Customs and Border Protection, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration, U.S. Secret Service, the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the U.S. Coast Guard.
All of these sub-cabinet level departments report directly to the DHS Secretary, Michael Chertoff, a former circuit judge and federal prosecutor, who also served [1995-1996] as Special Counsel to the Senate's Whitewater Committee.
With a budget well over $50 billion DHS is the prototypical DC bureaucracy in which transparency and accountability are sometimes in short supply.
Starting in 2005 DHS, through FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, commenced a program - UASI Non-Profit Security Grants - the purpose of which was to provide:
"...funding support for target hardening activities to nonprofit organizations that are at high risk of international terrorist attack. While this funding is provided specifically to high-risk nonprofit organizations, the program seeks to integrate nonprofit preparedness activities with broader state and local preparedness efforts..." [[DHS FY 2007 UASI Guidance]
In 2007 the amount available for this program was $24,007,500.00 [DHS FY UASI Grant Fund Distribution]
To clarify the decision making process in its grant making authority DHS promulgated a very specific set of guidelines to determine which nonprofits might be eligible for these awards:
"...Criteria for determining eligible applicants who are at high risk of terrorist attack include, but are not limited to:
Identification and substantiation (e.g. police reports or insurance claims) of prior threats or attacks against the nonprofit organization or directly related organizations (within or outside the U.S.) by a terrorist organization, network, or cell.
Symbolic value of the site(s) as a highly recognized national or historical institution that renders the site a possible target of terrorism.
Role of the applicant nonprofit organization in responding to or recovering from terrorist attacks
Findings from previously conducted risk assessments including threat, vulnerability or consequence.
In a 2007 article for Front Page Magazine Homeland Security's Islamist Payday, Joe Kaufman broke the story that a Florida based Islamist, Sofian Abdelaziz Zakkout, had been the recipient of one of these UASI grants.
CAIR, Georgetown University, John Esposito And Keith Ellison Participate In Bin Talal Wahhabist Puppet Show
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
April 8, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Dutifully participating in a plan for stealth jihad set forth by the Muslim Brotherhood, on April 3 radical Islamists accompanied by a coterie of Muslim apologists conducted another in an ongoing series of events designed to portray the religion most often associated with terror as a benign player in contemporary American politics.
The event was called "Islam in American Politics" and was held at the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, D.C., one of three buildings that comprise the U.S. House of Representatives, a venue no-doubt calculated to provide additional stature to the event and its participants.
In attendance were Nihad Awad, Executive Director of the Saudi funded Hamas mouthpiece, the Council on American Islamic Relations' [CAIR] recently named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the nation's largest terror prosecution, former Pakistani ambassador to the UK, Akbar Ahmed, Muslim apologist extraordinaire John Esposito, founding director of Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin-Talal's 20 million dollar monument to Muslim religious imperialism, Georgetown University's Center For Muslim-Christian Understanding and Congressman Keith Ellison [D-MN] CAIR's first U.S. Representative.
Additionally represented were Rev. Jim Wallis, founder of Sojourners ministries and magazine, and Ari Gordon, assistant director of interreligious affairs for the American Jewish Committee.
The event was "moderated" by Washpost reporterette, Sally Quinn and co-sponsored by Georgetown U and the Saudi funded World Economic Forum and signified the launch of a nationwide da'wa exercise entitled, "Islam and the West: Annual Report on the State of Dialogue."
As is always the case in these conferences, the entire event was an exercise in duplicity, calculated to present a group of radical Muslims as moderates.
Let us examine some of the participants:
Nihad Awad is the Executive Director of CAIR; he previously worked for the Islamic Association for Palestine, the United States public relations arm of Hamas. On a now removed page from the CAIR website, Awad stated:
"...After the Gulf War was over, I was offered a job with the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP) as their public relations director...In this effort I worked closely with IAP president Omar Ahmad..."
Muthanna Al-Hanooti, Another CAIR Official Indicted On Terrorism Charges
Saddam Spy Hanooti Greeted By First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton
March 29, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - The Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR] is in the news again, this time because the former director of its Michigan office, Muthanna Al-Hanooti, has been indicted on federal terror charges.
Hanooti was at the time of his employment by CAIR an Iraqi agent, a spy, working for Sadam Hussein.
Not only do archived records of a June 2000 CAIR press release - a document first made public by Steven Emerson's Investigative Project - indicate his association with the Saudi funded Hamas mouthpiece, but FEC records excerpted below, show Al-Hanooti listing his employer during the period as being CAIR, as do Michigan incorporation records.

U Penn's Hillel And MSA's Excellent Spring Break Jihad Adventure
By Beila Rabinowitz and William Mayer
March 27, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - As these authors noted in a November 2007 piece University Of Pennsylvania Hillel Conducts Interfaith Hoax With Radical Muslim Student Association warning that a then planned trip to New Orleans by the Muslim Student Association and Hillel was ill advised:
"Since the Muslim Student Association is an integral part of the Saudi-funded Wahhabist power structure, this interfaith trip can't be anything but a da'wa exercise by the group, a call to convert the Jewish students."
That trip has now taken place, with the aforementioned predicted results, as a report on the U Penn website gushed:
"The trip was a collaboration between Hillel and the Muslim Students Association with the dual purpose of serving the community and strengthening the relationship between the two faiths, explained College senior Naveed Rashid, [Social Development Chair of the MSA] a participant . It was sponsored by a $17,000 grant from the Fox Leadership program which aims, "to enrich the 21st century Penn undergraduate educational experience in ways that excite and equip students for present and future leadership roles in whatever realms of human excellence and endeavor may call them" [source,http://www.sas.upenn.edu/foxleadership/reg/index.php]
The group was made up of 11 students from Hillel, 11 students from MSA, Rabbi Michael Uram, Interim University Chaplain Charles Howard, and Religious Studies graduate student Ludmila Zamah.
The students also worked with the controversial "community service" group ACORN, [regarding ACORN's reputation, please note PipeLineNews.org article ACORN - The Indictment Doesn't Fall Far From The Tree]
New York Department of Education Rams Khalil Gibran International Academy Down The Throat Of PS 287 Parents
By Sara Springer
March 27, 2008 - Brooklyn, NY - PipeLineNews.org - At a rancorous PTA meeting yesterday evening, concerning the final location of the embattled Arab-centric Khalil Gibran International Academy [KGIA], Garth Harries, New York Depart Of Education Officer of Portfolio Development, summarily informed the parents at P.S. 287 that, "The DOE has made its final decision. KGIA will be coming into this building next year."
That declaration was responded to with anger by those in attendance who felt that the DOE had ambushed them and not taken their viewpoint into consideration in making the decision.
The DOE's decision in this matter directly contradicted a promise that Harries had made just last month at a similar meeting of the school's PTA. At that assembly, parents were told that there would not be a final decision unless and until the community was consulted and their concerns addressed. During last night's meeting one parent said, "You made a promise. When a person makes a promise I hold them to their word. You came here with the intention to bamboozle us...you needed to go back to your office and tell them there wouldn't be a final decision without a community conference."
The Saudis Deceptive Religious Reform Proposal
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
 March 26, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Many column inches of print in the West have recently been devoted to a not-so-new plan to "train" 40,000 Saudi imams with an eye towards reducing what have been called, "militant hardliners."
The action line in most of these stories is that this is a great move, a sign that the Saudis are rejecting Islamism, a fact nowhere in evidence.
As the Saudis have conceived this effort they intend to carry out this mission via the newly created King Abdulaziz Center for National Dialogue, which is a division of the Saudi Ministry For Islamic Affairs, Endowment, Dawa and Guidance - http://www.saudinf.com/main/yy1.htm.
The website for this ministry carries a message that indicates just how difficult it is going to be for the Saudis to reform their religion in a manner consistent with what Western pundits seem to be suggesting.
Material on that website demonstrates how Saudi culture and Islam are inseparable, stating that, "To understand the history of the Kingdom and its political, economic and social development, it is necessary to realize that Islam, which permeates every aspect of a Muslim's life, also permeates every aspect of the Saudi Arabian state."
If that was not daunting enough, even more problematic is the following defense of the intolerant Saudi brand of Islam, Wahhabism, stating it was derived directly from the Quran and is therefore not a sect but the one true form of the religion and hence unassailable.
Islamist Group - MPAC - Directs Stealth Jihad Against CA Senator Barbara Boxer
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
 March 25, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - As we noted in a March 18 piece Why Is Senator Barbara Boxer's Staff Meeting With CAIR? California's junior Senator is once again unapologetically meeting with the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR], a group she had harshly rejected only a little over a year ago, and other Islamist organizations including MPAC, the Muslim Public Affairs Council.
Queried about why Boxer has apparently changed her "no-meet" directive against the Saudi funded Hamas friendly group, the Senator's staff has, of this writing, still not provided any explanation, let alone a plausible one.
In an "after-action" move, MPAC today is conducting a disingenuous call-in telephone campaign directed at Boxer's DC office.
PipeLineNews came into possession of an email being circulated by MPAC detailing the group's strategy which includes callers representing themselves as "Christians" apparently in order to cast the effort in the most public relations friendly manner.
The electronically communicated talking points ask MPAC members to urge the Senator to pressure Israel to cease its military resistance against the Hamas uprising in Gaza, thus placing the Muslim Public Affairs Council alongside its ideological brothers in CAIR in apparent support of a hands-off policy against Islamic terror.
Senator Boxer had best re-consider her ill-advised "rapproachmont" with these stealth jihadist groups, and realize that her original decision, not to meet with CAIR et al, was correct and should be reinstated.
Influential Italian Muslim, Magdi Allam Converts To Catholicism, Baptized By Pope Benedict
Calls Islam "Evil" At An "Intrinsic" Level
 March 24, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - In an elaborate Easter Sunday ceremony, iconoclastic Italian Muslim Magdi Allam was accepted into the Catholic faith and baptized by Pope Benedict.
Allam is the deputy editor of Italy's leading newspaper "Corriere della Sera" which on Sunday published a letter written by him encouraging other Muslims who have become Christians to acknowledge that fact publicly. He also suggested that the Church should step up its efforts to convert Muslims, and be "less prudent" in that regard.
In Allam's letter he credited the Pope with providing the inspiration for him "to see the light, by divine grace, as the healthy and ripe fruit of a long process," and praised him as someone, "whom I have admired and defended as a Muslim for his brilliance in presenting the indissoluble link between faith and reason as the foundation of true religion."
Allam further explained that his conversion came as a result of a long process of introspection:
"...On my first Easter as a Christian I not only discovered Jesus, I discovered for the first time the face of the true and only God, who is the God of faith and reason. My conversion to Catholicism is the touching down of a gradual and profound interior meditation from which I could not pull myself away, given that for five years I have been confined to a life under guard, with permanent surveillance at home and a police escort for my every movement, because of death threats and death sentences from Islamic extremists and terrorists, both those in and outside of Italy.
Allam's security detail provided by the Italian government came as a result of a series of death threats resulting from Allam's criticism of the 2003 London terror bombings.
Fatah's Embrace of Islamism
By Ido Zelkovitz, special to PipeLineNews, reprinted by permission from the Middle East Quarterly Spring 2008 Edition, pp. 19-26
 March 24, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Many U.S. and European diplomats contrast Fatah's Palestinian nationalism with Hamas's Islamism. At a November 28, 2007 press conference, U.S. national security advisor Stephen Hadley praised Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas and cited President George W. Bush's argument that "Hamas, Hezbollah, and Al-Qaeda [are] different faces of the same evil: a radical ideology seeking to impose its world-view throughout the Middle East and beyond."[1] But, while Fatah, the core of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), may have its roots in the revolutionary, secular-oriented ideologies of the 1960s and 1970s,[2] Islamist discourse is also integral to the movement.[3] Indeed, even as Western diplomats seek to bolster Fatah's Abbas as an alternative to Hamas, they underestimate the degree to which Palestinian nationalism now intertwines itself with Islam.[4] Since the 2000 Palestinian uprising, Fatah has fused national and religious symbols in order to use Islam as an instrument of mobilization.[5]
Fatah Imagery in the Twentieth Century
In the 1970s, Fatah graphic art promoted the culture of armed struggle which was at the heart of Fatah's ideology. (See Figure 1.) This enabled Fatah to mobilize the masses in the absence of a solid ideology among the divided and faction-ridden Palestinian society. Its imagery and texts sanctified violent struggle as the miracle cure for Palestinian problems. From the everyday struggle, they believed, would grow the formulas and theories for their ideology in the future.[6]
Before the outbreak of the second intifada, a Palestinian public opinion survey (conducted between November 1997 and March 1999) revealed that 87.6 percent of Fatah supporters believed Islam should play a major role in the future life of Palestinian society, and 80 percent said that any future Palestinian state should be run according to Islamic law.[7]
Fatah was the dominant political movement in the West Bank and Gaza from the Oslo-sanctioned return of PLO leader Yasir Arafat in 1994 until at least 2000. In September 2000, the Palestinians launched an uprising and unleashed a wave of terrorist attacks, which they named the "Al-Aqsa" intifada. Fatah re-branded its armed wing - previously known as the Storm, Al-'Asifa[8]"calling it Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, a name chosen to bolster both Palestinian claims to Jerusalem and Fatah's religious claims. In one of the brigades' earliest proclamations, its members said they fought for independence, and national and religious values.[9]
Previously, Palestinian figures embraced the sectarian diversity of Palestinian Arabs, especially for the Western audience. For example, in a London press conference, Yasir Arafat said that "according to our religiousness, Christians should be mentioned before the Muslims," which was in the context of the suffering of the Palestinian people as a result of the intifada.[10] But today Palestinian society emphasizes Muslim supremacy. Fatah expresses its new Islamist discourse not only in educational and cultural terms but also in its embrace of suicide bombing..."self-martyrdom" (istishad)"as a tactic.
Berkeley Marine Recruiting Center Defended By Patriots
March 23, 2008 - Berkeley, CA - PipeLineNews.org - On this bright and sunny Saturday afternoon, Eagles Up, Move America Forward, the Lafayette Flag Brigade and an "Iron Army" comprised of a phalanx of Northern California bikers - the Patriot Guard - stormed into Berkeley to show their support for the Marine Recruiting Center on Shattuk Avenue.
No longer an island afloat in a sea of divisive political insanity, insulated from main-stream America, Berkeley's leftists are finally being held accountable, put on notice that there are repercussions to their now decades-old, anti-American, anti-troop stance.
The tinder that lit the current flame took place when the Berkely City Council in a late January 6-3 vote, approved a letter to the U.S. Marine Corps declaring them "unwelcome intruders," and demanding they close their recruiting center.
Since then conservatives have pushed back, with a series of demonstrations which seemed to shock Berkeley residents who until now believed themselves immune from the repercussions of their ideological stand.
Military families are taking this fight very personally, as Doug Lyvere, of Eagles Up states:
"When the City Council, a government agency, turns around and basically slaps the Marine Corps in the face, and therefore all veterans, and says they're not wanted, it doesn't make any sense to us. I'm a retired Marine. Nobody slaps Marines without Marines responding to it."
On a national level, some in Congress have threatened to strip the city of federal funding. Towards that end U.S. Senator Jim DeMint, [R-SC] has introduced legislation to deny Berkeley more than $2 million in handouts. A statement from DeMint's office claimed, "This particular case became the business of the American people when the city of Berkeley insulted our troops and their constitutional mission to defend our country."
Not content to take their chances with what might amount to political posturing from DC, local movers and shakers have jumped into the controversy intent upon forcing the Berkeley City Council to rescind its action.
Brian G. Denard an influential local developer, the principal in Meridian Development Group, LLC, has launched a website Brigade America to apply financial pressure.
In a Jan 31 letter to the City Council he stated:
"In that you and your city have chosen to gravely insult the brave men and women, who have indeed bought you that right with their blood, I am informing you that my company will no longer do business with any of our current suppliers located in the Berkeley,California metro area. In that my company is in international resort real estate development, and do business with and am associated with, developers and investors worldwide, I am informing all of my contacts, associates and patrons that we will no longer do any business of any sort with anyone living in the Berkeley area..."
Caught between the closing pincers of both national and local outrage, City Council members have tried to appear to be accommodative while in reality doing nothing.
Pressure continues to build however, with the continued protests having an increasingly negative impact on local businesses, many of which worry that they might well go out of business if this controvery continues.
The ball is clearly in the City Council's court, if it wishes to avoid further losses, it had better end its antagonistic stance toward military recruiting, apologize to the Marines and get back to whatever it is does when its members are not giving aid and comfort to al-Qaeda.
Diana Nagy entertains the crowd with, "Where Freedom Flies."

CAIR's Support Of Terrorist Sami Al-Arian Proves Organization's Jihadist Sympathies
 March 20, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - In the most recent issue of the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR, the Saudi-funded unindicted co-conpirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror prosecution] newsletter, the radical Islamist organization is asking its membership to support confessed terrorist Sami Al-Arian, Federal prisoner #40939-018:
"The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on American Muslims and other people of conscience to write letters in support of Dr. Sami Al-Arian, a former Florida professor currently on his second hunger strike in federal detention to protest alleged unjust treatment by U.S. authorities."
In this same communication CAIR provides a link to the "Free Sami Al-Arian - How to Help" website, which is associated with numerous Islamo-Fascist groups including the Muslim American Society [American wing of the Muslim Brotherhood], the Blue Triangle Network based in "Dearbornistan," Michigan and CAIR itself.
In Federal Court proceedings, Al-Arian admitted, as part of a plea bargain, that he was indeed guilty as charged, that he was a member of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, had worked to spread the group's ideology and had involved numerous others in this terrorist enterprise including Al-Arian's brother-in-law Mazen Al-Najjar, who has since been deported.
In court Al-Arian plead guilty to, "conspiracy to make or receive contributions of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad," an admission that he was a terrorist. According to an April 17, 2006 DOJ press release:
"...Former University of South Florida professor Sami Al-Arian has pleaded guilty to a charge of conspiring to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), a specially designated terrorist organization, in violation of U.S. law, the Department of Justice announced today?Al-Arian pleaded guilty to Count Four of the indictment against him - a charge of conspiracy to make or receive contributions of funds, goods or services to or for the benefit of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad...Al-Arian's agreement with the government calls for a recommended prison sentence of 46 to 57 months in prison, based on a five-year maximum statutory sentence. Al-Arian, 48, who has been in custody since his arrest on Feb. 20, 2003, has agreed to stipulate to deportation to another country by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement once his prison sentence has ended..." 1
So why would the "moderate" CAIR be asking its membership to help Al-Arian and represent this jihadist merely as an unfortunate "political prisoner?"
March 20, 2008 Old Glory Radio Network interview with PLN Editor William Mayer on San Francisco anti-war demonstrations.
San Francisco Iraq War Protest Fizzles, "Peace Movement" Essentially Dead
March 19, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Five years ago hopes must have been high among members of international communist solidarity movement as they organized a series of massive demonstrations coinciding with the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom. The size of those gatherings must have convinced many that the United States was on the verge of being defeated domestically by this band of lefties even before it could topple Saddam.
In San Francisco - where in a brief three day period during 2003, thousands were arrested - less than 2,000 were in attendance at the most highly publicized event today, a Civic Center rally coordinated by International ANSWER, the Stalinist group responsible for organizing the largest demonstrations over the past 5 years.
Regarding the extreme radical nature of International A.N.S.W.E.R., David Corn, certainly no friend of the right wrote in a 2002 essay, "The odd and troubling origins of today's anti-war movement."
"...This was no accident, for the demonstration was essentially organized by the Workers World Party, a small political sect that years ago split from the Socialist Workers Party to support the Soviet invasion of Hungary in 1956. The party advocates socialist revolution and abolishing private property. It is a fan of Fidel Castro's regime in Cuba, and it hails North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il for preserving his country's "socialist system," which, according to the party's newspaper, has kept North Korea "from falling under the sway of the transnational banks and corporations that dictate to most of the world." The WWP has campaigned against the war-crimes trial of former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic. A recent Workers World editorial declared, "Iraq has done absolutely nothing wrong."
Officially, the organizer of the Washington demonstration was International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism). But ANSWER is run by WWP activists, to such an extent that it seems fair to dub it a WWP front. Several key ANSWER officials, including spokesperson Brian Becker, are WWP members. Many local offices for ANSWER's protest were housed in WWP offices. Earlier this year, when ANSWER conducted a press briefing, at least five of the 13 speakers were WWP activists. They were each identified, though, in other ways, including as members of the International Action Center..."
As we have noted previously, the tenor of all of these rallys over that period of time has been hard-left/socialist/Marxist, pro-Che Guevara, free Mumia, down with the patriarchy, death to Israel.
Of course that angle is never covered in the local major media, who are guily of psychologically collaborating with the enemies of democracy, presenting these events as innocent peace protests, never broadcasting the vitriolic speeches or presenting the omnipresent insurrectionary propaganda.
This evening, the speeches were dominated, as they have been in the past, by a coterie of very angry, near hysterical women, among them outraged "Palestinians," disgraced nutcase politicians and revolutionary communists. Comic relief was provided by a tongue tied Public Radio personality and other rambling malcontents.
Given the rapid meltdown of the Democrat party over the last month or so, the bitter infighting, racial/gender turmoil and internecine rage, one has to conclude that the left's strategy of stoking hate out of all proportions against the Bush administration and war on terror has backfired spectacularly. The recriminations and festering resentment resulting from its failure to bring the Bush foreign policy crashing down upon itself has produced in the left a self-consuming monster that now can not easily be contained. One of the hallmarks of this is hopelessness and resignation, something in clear focus in San Francisco today where this tiny crowd was dwarfed by a factor of at least 30 only 5 short years ago when this effort was commenced by these thugs.
Bury this movement, it's dead.
Screaming shrew California State Senator Carol Migden. Not sure if she was just having her typical bad day or if the just announced $350,000 fine against her by the California Fair Political Practices Commission, the largest penalty ever levied against a candidate in the State, had her panties in a bunch. In any regard she was not happy when this writer querried her, as she left the stage, about how she was going to pay it and wether being a crook compromised her moral authority to lecture anyone about anything.
Israel not real popular here.
It takes a lefty village to ruin a kid.

Why Is Senator Barbara Boxer's Staff Meeting With CAIR?
 March 18, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Despite what appeared to have been a blanket rejection of the Saudi funded Islamist group CAIR [an unindicted co-conspirator in the ongoing Holy Land Foundation prosecution] in 2006 by California's junior Senator, Barbara Boxer, according to the March 13 CAIR newsletter, representatives of her office recently met with the controversial group which sought to convey its feelings on the "crisis" in Gaza, a Hamas stronghold.
"Southern California Muslim and interfaith leaders met Wednesday with representatives from Senator Barbara Boxer's (D-CA) office to express their concerns about Israel?s blockade of the Gaza Strip and the resulting humanitarian crisis. Those joining the meeting were: Sharaf Mowjood, Government Relations Coordinator of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, Greater Los Angeles Area..."[source, CAIR Newsletter 3/13/08, MUSLIM, INTERFAITH LEADERS MEET BOXER STAFF OVER GAZA CRISIS]
Boxer's previous rejection of CAIR came as a result of her re-thinking the awarding of a "Certificate of Achievement" given by her office to CAIR Sacramento Director Basim Elkarra.
At the time, when questioned about why her office had taken the unprecedented step of rescinding the award to CAIR, Senator Boxer stated that "we made a bad mistake not researching the organization," noting, "CAIR's unwillingness to condemn Osama Bin Laden by name or condemn...Hamas."
The communications director of Boxer's office also cited the cases of Ghassan Elashi [see Ghassan Elashi's Sentencing Proves CAIR's Terror Ties] a founding board member of the Texas branch of CAIR who was sentenced to 80 months in prison for business dealings with Hamas leader Musa abu Marzook, as well as the case of Randal "Ismail" Royer a CAIR communications specialist and civil rights coordinator who was sentenced to 20 years for conspiracy to "support Jihad overseas."
During the Boxer dustup Elkarra also adopted the role of victim, claiming that he was subject to death threats. However upon investigation, the FBI deemed his allegations "not credible" according to Senator Boxer's office.
We find it difficult to reconcile the Senator's laudable prior rejection of CAIR and this recent meeting and are awaiting clarification from her office. As we go to press Boxer communications staffer David Frey has not provided us with an explanation.
Move America Forward Report Details Leftist Terror Campaign Conducted Against Recruiting Centers
 March 17, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - In a just released, hard-hitting expose, America's largest grassroots, pro-troop organization - Move America Forward - has chronicled what is an ongoing, leftist inspired domestic terror campaign being directed against U.S. military recruiting centers.
The study, entitled "The Sedition Report," shows that since the launching of Operation Iraqi Freedom, military recruiting centers have been subjected to over 100 attacks by extremists.
This campaign of violence, intimidation and suppression of free speech culminated two weeks ago, in the March 6 bombing of the Armed Services Recruiting Center in Times Square. No one has yet been charged in that crime.
 Violence and the "anti-war" left have long been associated in contemporary American politics. During the Vietnam war, members of the Weather Underground [a faction of the "progressive" Democrat group, the SDS] declared war against the United States and carried out a series of bombings against military targets, police stations, educational establishments and other supposed components of the "military industrial complex."
These attacks resulted in a significant number of deaths, including several killed in premature explosions at leftist bomb factories, accidents which arguably saved dozens of innocent lives. This insurrection was funded by criminal activity, culminating in the million dollar robbery of a Brinks armored truck in 1981, which was followed by a subsequent shoot-out between police and the terrorist perpetrators.
According to Melanie Morgan, Move America Forward's Chairman, the renewal of this domestic terror campaign is already well underway:
"Attacks on military recruiting centers are taking place all across the United States, and many of our leaders in law enforcement and government don't realize the size and scope of this violent and hateful campaign against our troops here at home. This isn't just an isolated incident in Berkeley, Calif., where everybody knows that there is a fierce anti-war sentiment [for example] Eight gunshots were fired at the recruiting office in Denver, Colorado, a bomb was planted at the recruiting center in St. Louis, human blood was splattered across a recruiting office in Ithaca, N.Y., manure or feces were smeared on the offices of Toledo, Ohio, and Milwaukee, Wisconsin [and] recruiter's cars have been firebombed in Alabama and Maryland."
Andre Carson Joins Ellison's Stealth Jihad In Congress
By Beila Rabinowitz and William Mayer
 March 14, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Andre Carson, sworn in Wednesday as the second Muslim to be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives [7th District Minnesota], made news last week when he returned a $1,000 donation from a fellow Muslim who was investigated in 2002 on terrorism charges.
According to one report:
"The donation, made at a Feb. 8 fundraiser, came from M. Yaqub Mirza, CEO of Sterling Management in Herndon, Va. Until it dissolved in 2000, Mirza was an officer with the Saar Foundation, which became one of several Muslim nonprofits in Northern Virginia to fall under scrutiny in a 2002 federal terrorism-financing investigation..." [source, http://www.indystar.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080308/NEWS05/803080445/1304/LOCAL]
A spokesman for his Republican rival, John Elrod, commented that, "Carson's decision to accept the money to begin with shows poor judgment from a person who touted his work in a state counterterrorism unit as part of the experience that qualifies him for Congress."
Indeed Carson's behavior in this matter clouds his description of himself as an, "orthodox, universal secular Muslim" [see, http://www.minnpost.com/ericblack/2008/03/12/1141/a_second_muslim_congressman] as do the circumstances of his candidacy; he is taking the seat of his grandmother, U.S. Representative Julia Carson, a disciple of Louis Farrakhan, leader of the virulently anti-Semitic and anti-American Nation of Islam.
Also troubling are the congratulations given to him by the Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR] a Saudi funded front group for Hamas and an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas [HLF] terror funding trial.
Of most importance, however is that CAIR has joined with other Islamists to raise funds for Carson, and that Ellison co-sponsored one of those fundraisers with the terror friendly group.
Some Fire Left In Bush Administration - Insubordinate Centcom Commander Fallon Booted
By William Mayer and Beila Rabinowitz
 March 12, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Less than a year into his assignment, Admiral William Fallon has been forced out as America's top Mideast Commander.
In a tersely worded statement Fallon resigned his position yesterday stating that, "recent press reports suggesting a disconnect between my views and the President's policy objectives have become a distraction at a critical time...it would be best to step aside and allow...our military leaders to move beyond this distraction."
Fallon was appointed to his post on March 16, 2007 replacing Army Gen. John Abizaid and since then had clashed with his Commander in Chief over nearly every aspect of U.S. military policy in the Middle East, especially over the advisability of moving strongly against Iran's mullahs.
He also opposed Iraq war theater commander Gen. David Petraeus' now successful employment of the administration's "surge" strategy, further distancing himself from Mr. Bush.
About the abrupt move, Department of Defense Secretary Robert Gates said that Fallon, "reached this difficult decision entirely on his own...I believe it was the right thing to do, even though I do not believe there are, in fact, significant differences between his views and administration policy."
Regardless of DOD's attempt to dismiss what it terms "differences between his views and administration policy," they were significant and given further public airing in a recent interview the Admiral gave to Esquire magazine "The Man Between War and Peace," the tone of which was profoundly disrespectful, with the piece's author Thomas P.M. Barnett stating in the intro that Mr. Bush, "regularly trash-talks his way to World War III ..."
Why Are Law Enforcement Agencies Including The Los Angeles Police Department Still Meeting With CAIR And Other Islamist Groups?
By William Mayer
March 10, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - As noted in a Council on American Islamic Relations [CAIR] press release, on February 21 members of the LA chapter of that group along with other Islamist organizations such as the Muslim Public Affairs Council [MPAC] and the Muslim American Society attended the first meeting of the Los Angeles Police Department's "Muslim Community Forum."
CAIR was named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation [HLF] prosecution last summer and 5 of its members have been charged and either convicted or deported on terror related charges. Ghassan Elashi, the founder of the Texas chapter of CAIR has already been convicted in the Infocom terror case and is a principal in the HLF case.
The Muslim American Society is the American wing of the Muslim Brotherhood, the Egyptian based terrorist group which created among other things, Hamas, the Palestinian terror group operating in Israel's West Bank and Gaza
In recent years, the U.S. Brotherhood operated under the name Muslim American Society, according to documents and interviews. One of the nation's major Islamic groups, it was incorporated in Illinois in 1993 after a contentious debate among Brotherhood members." [source see, Chicago Tribune's "A Rare Look At The Secretive Brotherhood In America," http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/specials/chi-0409190261sep19,1,3910166.story?page=5&cset=true&ctrack=1&coll=chi-newsspecials-hed]
If you are scratching your head as to why the LAPD is meeting with these two terror friendly groups consider the site of the meeting.
The event took place at the Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Foundation.
The Omar Ibn Al-Khattab Foundation is a masjid, a mosque and it was built under the auspices of a program initiated by the late Saudi King Fahd [source, King Fahd's website, http://www.kingfahdbinabdulaziz.com:80/main/m460.htm] which has spent an estimated $45-80 billion worldwide to construct Wahhabist influenced mosques.
State Department Pushes Israelis Towards "Peace Process" While The PA Glorifies Terror Bomber Who Murdered 8 Students
 March 10, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - As detailed by Palestinian Media Watch, while the Bush administration and Condi Rice's State Department continue to strong-arm the Israeli government into negotiating with the Fatah dominated Palestinian Authority, even after last week's murderous Hamas attack, the Abbas government's official daily newspaper is glorifying Alaa Abu D'heim, the perpetrator of the suicide bombing as a "martyr."
Unbelievably, as the PMW piece notes, there is currently a bill before Congress asking for $150 million in aid to the PA, despite the fact that according to the 2008 Foreign Operations Bill Sec. 657.B - C.1, the U.S. must:
"...terminate assistance to any individual, entity... which she has determined to be involved in or advocating terrorist activity..."
It's hard to understand how the PA's "paper of record" honoring D'heim's act by placing his image on its front page does not constitute "advocating terrorist activity."
The PA's actions in this manner, though reprehensible, are not isolated. As we observed on March 5 in Rice Bamboozled - Palestinian Authority Leadership Still Preaching Jihad Mahmoud Abbas and the leadership of his Fatah party are still overtly encouraging acts of terror against Israel and coalition forces in the Middle East:
"Just a week before U.S. Secretary of State Rice's most recent meeting with Fatah leader Mahmoud Abbas, Mahmoud Ismail, a member of the PLO's Executive Committee [Director of Labor and Popular Organizations] and an influential voice in Abbas' [aka Abu Mazen] Fatah party, was quoted in an appearance on the Palestinian Authority television network as being in support of the al-Qaeda led, Iraqi "resistance."
An extended excerpt of Ismail's address, as translated by PWM:
"I want to cite the actions and future actions of President [Abbas], from the starting point that the Palestine cause is the essential and central cause of the Arab Nation. It's not surprising that [to] certain journalists of the current despicable American era, our [Arab nationalist] language of the 50s and 60s is outdated, when we talk about the nature of the struggle between the Arab Nation and its enemies: the Imperialists and Zionists, who attack and occupy our territories inside Palestine and outside, in Iraq, in the remains of South Lebanon and the Golan...We [however,] take pride in this [Arab nationalist] language because we are the authentic Arabs who believe in our Arabism, our faith, our cause, our Nation, in our right to struggle and to resistance [euphemism for terror] in all possible ways in all the occupied lands, in Palestine, Lebanon, the Golan and Iraq..."
Palestinian Gunman Kills At Least 8 In Jerusalem Religious School
 March 6, 2008 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Jerusalem's Merkaz Harav Yeshiva - a rabbinical seminary - was today the scene of mass carnage as an Arab terrorist used an automatic weapon to kill at least eight and wound more than ten.
 The attacker was in turn killed by Yitzchak Dadon, a part time student, with his own personal weapon.
According to a report in Arutz Sheva, when asked by local television what kind of weapon the terrorist used he replied,"A Kalachnikov...the Kalachnikov that you gave him, President Peres," referring to the |
