CAIR: Exploiting Children For Jihad Propaganda?

An Anti-CAIR Blogburst.

Choked for eight seconds against a wall, threatened with death by BB-gun, punched in the arm, and having a head scarf pulled off.  Pretty scary stuff, especially if you are an 11 year old.

CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) recently pressed local school officials in Pinellas County (Florida) to investigate a threat it says was made against Hannah Chehab, an 11 year-old female Muslim student.

CAIR’s local executive director, Ahmed Bedier, said that CAIR’s primary concern is the safety of Hannah and the other students at the school.

Remember, this sudden “concern” for Hannah comes from CAIR, an organization with proven ties to Islamic terrorism and Islamic terrorists.   CAIR co-founder Omar Ahmad is a former officer in the Islamic Association for Palestine, a terrorist group.  CAIR executive director Nihad Awad participated in a Hamas meeting in the United States where plans to derail a peace initiative were discussed.  Ibrahim Hooper, CAIR spokesman, is a former employee of the Islamic Association for Palestine.   Hooper is well known for his reply of “CAIR does not support these groups publicly” when asked about CAIR’s public support of Hamas, Hizballah, and other government-declared terrorist organizations.

To be blunt, to expect CAIR to be concerned about a single student, Muslim or otherwise, would ordinarily be laughable if this matter weren’t so serious.

Now, to the charges.

To her claim of being choked for eight seconds against a wall; there are no supporting video tapes or witnesses.

The allegation that she was threatened with a BB-gun finds no reliable

witnesses.  As to being punched in the arm and having her headscarf pulled off, the words of fellow students are illustrative:

“In the seven-page police report, 11- and 12-year-old schoolmates say Hannah and the boy actually are friends and were constantly talking and playing around.  One girl told investigators that the scarf incident occurred after Hannah had tapped the boy on the head.  When he did the same, Hannah tried to push his hand away and the head scarf came off,

the girl said.” The bottom line is that a couple of school kids had a falling out; the parents may have panicked and called CAIR. 

Of course, CAIR interjected their noses into a non-issue and tried to elevate it to the level of a heinous hate-crime.

Why would CAIR take a classroom spat between friends, and attempt to turn it into national headlines?  Because CAIR is a front for the terrorist group Hamas, and Hamas eagerly exploits children as tools for Jihad propaganda.

http://counterterrorismblog.org/2007/08/cair_identified_by_the_fbi_as.php

Like CAIR, Hamas has no problem putting children in front of cameras to advance their cause.  Hamas has done this using Mickey Mouse type characters with a child host to indoctrinate Palestinian youth to a militant mindset.

To be sure, CAIR did nothing as horrific to young Hannah Chehab. They seemed to do everything they could, however, to exploit her for CAIR's ongoing propaganda campaign to portray the "oppressive" conditions of Muslims living in America.

Bedier, ever the dutiful CAIR henchman, had no problems propping an 11 year old child in front of the media to read a "statement" about the incident.

Not everyone was impressed with this "press conference".

From the St. Petersburg Times:

[O]n Tuesday, board member Jane Gallucci said she had concerns about the lack of emotion in the 11-year-old's presentation ... "It was as if she was reading a book," said Gallucci, who for many years worked as a middle school guidance counselor for the district.  "If this was as traumatic as she said it was, there would have been more emotion in the retelling."

It appears obvious to Anti-CAIR that Bedier and CAIR were exploiting a child to gain ground for CAIR's Jihad in America.  To us, this is just as abusive as Hamas or the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades exploiting children for "military jihad".

American Muslims can count on one thing when they go to CAIR with a civil rights violation: no matter how petty the “crime” may be, CAIR will do its best to equate it to a public lynching, facts be damned.   Nothing counts but putting out the propaganda that Muslims in North America are oppressed.

The parents of Hannah Chehab should be ashamed for allowing CAIR to exploit their child.

“According to the report, Hannah didn't report any threats while talking to an assistant principal ...”

If any parent, Muslim or otherwise, believes that their child has been the victim of a crime while in school, they should do the sensible thing and call the school and the police.  In this case, there was not enough supporting evidence from classmates and staff who witnessed the incident to back up Hannah Chehab's press conference claims.  Both the school and the police reached the same conclusion.

Why did Hannah's claims change between the time of the incident and her CAIR press conference?

Or, were these press conference "claims" really Hannah's in the first place ... ?

Riots in Paris Again

The air is brisk, the leaves have fallen, and it's car-burning time in Paris. In case your wondering, the "youths" do belong to a certain religion known for it's peacefulness.

Youths have damaged police stations, shops and cars in two Paris suburbs, following the deaths of two teenagers whose motorbike hit a police car.

Police said 21 officers were injured in the rioting in the northern suburbs of Villiers-le-Bel and Arnouville.

A prosecutor has ordered an internal police inquiry into possible manslaughter and "non-assistance to persons in danger".

The violence - reminiscent of riots in 2005 - lasted for more than six hours.

In 2005, the deaths of two youths in nearby Clichy-sous-Bois led to France's worst civil unrest in more than 40 years.

On Sunday night Villiers-le-Bel police station was set ablaze and another in Arnouville was pillaged, police say. At least seven people were arrested.

The two "teenagers" in question were 12 and 13. (Another report has them at 15 and 16) The "youths" had stolen the motorcycle and neither were wearing a helmet. They were accidentally hit by a police car.

Sarkosy had better get a grip on what's happening to his country. It's time to wake up and smell the infitada.

Update: Ironic Surrealism has a nice round up, including the blog of one of the motorcycle victims.

Palestinians Protest Peace Talks

The Religion of Peace protests peace talks. Not the results of the peace talk, which are yet to be determined, but the peace talk itself.

Tens of thousands of Palestinians in the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip demonstrated Tuesday against the Middle East peace conference in the U.S., while the Islamic militant group's leader insisted it was "doomed to failure."

In the West Bank city of Hebron, Palestinian police loyal to President Mahmoud Abbas violently dispersed a demonstration against the peace conference, killing one protester, medical officials said.

Abbas is attending the Annapolis, Md., conference and protesters filling a huge square in Gaza City called him a "collaborator" for participating and chanted "Death to America" and "Death to Israel."

Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Hamas government in Gaza, expressed dismay over the participation of 16 Arab nations at the U.S. summit. They included Saudi Arabia and Syria, a key Hamas patron. The Arab masses "will reject ... any concessions to the Zionist enemy," Haniyeh said. "We are sure that the Annapolis conference will not change the reality of history and geography," he added. "Any conference that goes beyond this reality is doomed to failure."

And the jihad-happy supporters of Hamas are doomed to perpetual war.

Giant Israeli Flag Breaks World Record

Hat tip, Jewish Blogmeister.

AP-The world's largest Israeli flag has been produced by a Filipino evangelical Christian. Just how big is this flag? It measures 2,165 feet long and 330 feet wide and weighing 5.7 tons, breaking the record for the world's largest, according to the Israeli Ministry of Tourism.

Filipino entrepreneur Grace Galindez-Gupana said she decided two years ago to produce a giant Israeli flag as a testament to her love for Israel and the Jewish people and as a celebration of 50 years of diplomatic relations between the Philippines and Israel.

"God spoke to me in thunder and lightning," Galindez-Gupana said. "The Lord said, 'Make the flag of Israel, the standard of my people.'"

"This is a tall order," she said, breaking down in tears.

The Israeli flag was accompanied by a giant Philippines flag — huge, but not quite as big. It weighed about 4.2 tons.

Sudan: British Teacher Arrested Over Teddy Bear Muhammad

She might actually get the lash over this absurdity.

A British school teacher has been arrested in Sudan accused of insulting Islam's Prophet, after she allowed her pupils to name a teddy bear Muhammad.

Colleagues of Gillian Gibbons, 54, from Liverpool, said she made an "innocent mistake" by letting the six and seven-year-olds choose the name.

Ms Gibbons was arrested after several parents made complaints.

A spokesman from the British Embassy in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, said it was unclear whether she had been charged.

Embassy officials are expected to visit Mrs Gibbons in custody on Monday.

The BBC's correspondent Amber Henshaw said Ms Gibbons' punishment could be up to six months in jail, 40 lashes or a fine.

The school has been closed until January for fear of reprisals.

Reprisals meaning ... jihad?

Huckabee v Hillary

I don't know much about Huckabee, but this sure did get my attention.

Consumers are financing both sides in the war on terror because of the actions of U.S. ally Saudi Arabia, Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee said Sunday.

The former Arkansas governor made the comments following what he suggested was a muted response by the Bush administration to a Saudi court's sentence of six months in jail and 200 lashes for a woman who was gang raped.

"The United States has been far too involved in sort of looking the other way, not only at the atrocities of human rights and violation of women," Huckabee said on CNN's "Late Edition."

Yes!

"Every time we put our credit card in the gas pump, we're paying so that the Saudis get rich - filthy, obscenely rich, and that money then ends up going to funding madrassas," schools "that train the terrorists," said Huckabee. "America has allowed itself to become enslaved to Saudi oil. It's absurd. It's embarrassing."

Bravo!

 

Huckabee said "I would make the United States energy independent within 10 years and tell the Saudis they can keep their oil just like they can keep their sand, that we won't need either one of them."

Three cheers for Huckabee. Probably too logical for the mainstream, but here's hoping he can keep the big boys honest.

Hillary on the other hand, gets on famously with the Saudis. In fact, her closest aid may be a Wahabbist. Hugh Fitzgerald asks the tough questions that will, of course, not be asked.

(...) one is perfectly justified in worrying about this kind of influence. For if the reports are to be believed, Huma Abedin remains, despite living in the West, a "deeply conservative" Muslim. We are entitled to assume, therefore, that she still regards the Qur'an as the uncreated and immutable Word of God. And we are entitled to consult that "Word of God" to find out what she believes. And that includes 9.5, and 9.29, and another hundred deeply disturbing and hate-filled verses. We are entitled to assume that she is familiar with the most "authentic" Hadith in the most authoritative collections. We are entitled to assume that she regards Muhammad as exemplary, uswa hasana, al-insan al-kamil, and that therefore she finds all of his behavior not only beyond criticism, but to be taken as a model: little Aisha, and the murders of Asma bint Marwan and Abu Afak, the decapitation of the 600-900 bound prisoners of the Banu Qurayza, the attack on the inoffensive Jewish farmers of the Khaybar Oasis, and so on.

Is this close aide, this aide-de-camp, who may or may not be closer and more intimate with Hillary Clinton than anyone else on earth, really a deep admirer of that Muhammad? Is she a deep believer in the Qur'an, and therefore a supporter of the Shari'a, desirous naturally of removing all barriers to the spread of the faith of which she is not only an adherent by birth (born into it through no fault of her own), but apparently by conviction? She is, furthermore, the daughter of a Muslim preacher who went to Saudi Arabia, the place where the most rigorous and unmediated Islam is put into practice, and enforced at every level.

We have a right to know. And Huma Abedin, and her great and good friend, have a duty to tell us.

International Campaign Against Honour Killings

I stumbled upon this blog while checking my referrals. Glad I did.   

Over 5000 women and girls are killed every year by family members in so-called 'honour killings', according to the UN. These crimes occur where cultures believe that a woman's unsanctioned sexual behaviour brings such shame on the family that any female accused or suspected must be murdered. Reasons for these murders can be as trivial as talking to a man, or as innocent as suffering rape.

Muslims Protest US Aid (Updated)

Don't bother helping us, kuffar.

Several hundred activists of the radical Islamic group Hizb ut Tahrir staged protests here before the arrival of two ships of the US Navy for distributing relief supplies among cyclone-affected people.

Two warships, USS Essex and USS Kearsarge -- each carrying 20 helicopters and 3,500 marines on board with emergency relief supplies, medical and emergency evacuation teams -- are scheduled to enter Bangladesh waters Saturday and Tuesday.

The protesters Friday carried a banner reading 'Prevent American ships from entering the Bay of Bengal in the name of distributing relief' and chanted slogans 'Go back to America' and 'US has no place in Bangladesh'.

The outfit's leader Kazi Morshedul Haque told the rally that every Bangladeshi had come forward to help cyclone victims along with the army, navy and air force, 'so it is a shame on us, Muslims, that we are allowing the US on our land'.

This is not an isolated incident, it happened again in Warzistan.

Local Taliban militants seized and burned thousands of kilogrammes of food destined for pregnant women from a hospital in South Waziristan, officials said on Sunday.

The food, mainly lentils and cooking oil, had been supplied by the aid charity Save the Children to feed pregnant women suffering from malnutrition.

A Taliban activist said they were destroyed because “foreign NGOs want to harm our future generations.”...read more.

Robert Spencer gives the Koranic reasoning.

The unbelievers are unclean (as per Qur'an 9:28), and have nothing to offer to the pious.

Beheaded for Wearing “Western-Style Trousers”

Now here's a disproportionate response.

Three suspected al Qaeda militants, including two sisters, beheaded their uncle and his wife, forcing the couple’s children to watch, Iraqi police said on Friday.

The militants considered that school guard Youssef al-Hayali was an infidel because he did not pray and wore western-style trousers, they told police interrogators after being arrested in Diyala province northwest of Baghdad.

The three cousins executed Hayali and his wife Zeinab Kamel at the all-boys school in Jalawlah in Diyala province, village police chief Captain Ahmed Khalifa said.

Add it to the List of things that offend Muslims, along with Barbers and eyebrow plucking. This has spawned two new categories, grooming and clothing.

Muslims v Movies

Movie Theaters are now added to The List.

Movie theatres are a favorite target of maddened Muslims of the poorer sort. They may be unaware of the kinds of material their ruling classes possess for private delectation, and target the products of Bollywood and Hollywood with equal outrage.

The most famous example of this is the burning down, with 400-500 people inside, of a cinema in Abadan, Iran, during the days when Khomeini-maddened crowds were toppling the pillars and pylons of the Shah's establishment. They were inflamed by those audiocassettes made in France by Khomeini. From his French-police-protected exile in Neauphle-le-chateau, he made the tapes which were then sent to Iran, recopied by the bazaris, and distributed far and wide by a nest of mullahs. And those mad Muslim mobs his tapes enflamed were similar to the maddened Muslim mobs that attacked American institutions, including the embassy and consulate in Pakistan, when one group of Muslims tried to seize the Mecca mosque and wrest it from the control of the Al-Saud. The House of Saud was properly viewed as corrupt, and necessarily viewed, by those same Muslims, as "Infidels" -- because the worldview of Muslims always requires that everything, including indignation at greed or corruption, be phrased solely by reference to Islam, in terms that will arouse Muslims.
